crew even though we have been holding we

20
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:50,009
have continued with some of the tasks

21
00:01:56,570 --> 00:01:54,960
that need to be conducted the there in

22
00:01:59,830 --> 00:01:56,580
the process of putting on the pressure

23
00:02:03,230 --> 00:01:59,840
suits that the the crew will wear on

24
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:03,240
future missions this particular suit

25
00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:06,000

to the document they are leaving the

45
00:03:58,409 --> 00:03:46,230
crew now in the the Astros and and

46
00:04:02,399 --> 00:03:58,419
preparing to close the door the Astro

47
00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:02,409
van now on the the pad surface and the

48
00:04:09,649 --> 00:04:05,950
crew ready to get out they'll be met by

49
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:09,659
a couple of the closeout crew

50
00:04:33,950 --> 00:04:31,309
this is shuttle launch control at

51
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:33,960

white room where he is completing the

54
00:04:50,270 --> 00:04:45,060
suiting up process obviously had either

55
00:04:55,570 --> 00:04:50,280
brought along or was handed a a gag set

56
00:04:58,999 --> 00:04:55,580

launch control at t-minus 20 minutes 48

67
00:06:40,730 --> 00:06:37,380
seconds and counting

68
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:40,740
we're just a few seconds away now from

69
00:07:19,790 --> 00:06:44,490
the t-minus 20 minute hold and we will

70
00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:19,800
stop the clock at that point this is the

71
00:07:23,930 --> 00:07:21,870
walkway used by the astronauts they

72
00:07:25,940 --> 00:07:23,940
enter the orbiter in case of an

73
00:07:46,370 --> 00:07:25,950
emergency the arm can be placed back

74
00:07:53,910 --> 00:07:49,620
coming up on the four-minute point in

75
00:07:56,580 --> 00:07:53,920
the count the orbiter flight control

00:07:58,050 --> 00:07:56,590
surfaces such as Elavon speed brakes and

77
00:08:00,450 --> 00:07:58,060
rudders are now being moved through a

78
00:08:02,430 --> 00:08:00,460
three pre-programmed pattern that's all

79
00:08:05,330 --> 00:08:02,440
three engines now being moved in a

80
00:08:08,370 --> 00:08:05,340
pattern to verify their readiness to

81
00:08:10,140 --> 00:08:08,380
support the ascent flight control after

82
00:08:15,230 --> 00:08:10,150
going through their paces they'll be

83
00:08:26,970 --> 00:08:18,090
coming up on the 2-minute point in our

minutes 20 seconds three engines still

115
00:12:17,010 --> 00:11:42,610
discovery used it here go for the breed

116
00:15:54,910 --> 00:12:25,810
discovery Houston that discovery you are

117
00:15:54,920 --> 00:17:03,570
looks great Michael

118
00:17:31,669 --> 00:17:17,149
you

119
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:41,540
good morning Discovery good morning

120
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:50,010
good morning discovery rise and shine

121
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:52,480
boys time to stop doing that shuttle

122
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:55,210
shuffle you know what I mean hey here's

123
00:17:59,549 --> 00:17:56,770
a little song coming from the billions

124
00:18:32,820 --> 00:17:59,559
of us to the five of you Rick start them

125
00:19:11,400 --> 00:18:32,830
off baby the hawkster to you just give

126
00:19:11,410 --> 00:20:59,220
and discovery with that

127
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:08,590
they'll be happy about that

128
00:21:28,450 --> 00:21:33,800
okay thank you appreciate that

129
00:21:40,410 --> 00:21:36,680
okay guess that looks like it's an LS

130
00:21:58,970 --> 00:21:40,420
will continue with your carcass we

131
00:22:07,539 --> 00:22:01,280
this is Mission Control the procedure

132
00:22:11,090 --> 00:22:07,549
worked the antenna dish is locked in and

133
00:23:53,330 --> 00:22:11,100
the antenna arm is being moved in to the

134
00:23:53,340 --> 00:24:32,700
round orbit round

135
00:25:51,400 --> 00:24:42,210
so come on it discovery Houston good

136
00:25:58,460 --> 00:25:55,760
the intention of this experiment is to

137
00:26:01,370 --> 00:25:58,470
heat up a titanium alloy when gravity

138
00:26:03,290 --> 00:26:01,380
environment served what fix will happen

139
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:03,300
to the strength of the middle and grain

140
00:26:11,050 --> 00:26:08,010
size what do you expect I'm hoping for

141
00:26:33,410 --> 00:26:11,060
our stronger metal and more pyramidal

142
00:26:38,420 --> 00:26:35,090
doesn't look like it has the same amount

143
00:27:09,810 --> 00:26:38,430
of curl does it bud no it's not turning

144
00:27:09,820 --> 00:29:04,820
Oh

145
00:29:08,190 --> 00:29:06,650
every Houston thank you very much for

146
00:29:09,810 --> 00:29:08,200
that letter I think

147
00:29:25,220 --> 00:29:09,820
he's expressing the cares and thoughts

148
00:29:29,639 --> 00:29:28,950
designed by rich dilatory Richard

149
00:29:33,620 --> 00:29:29,649
Cavalli

150
00:29:37,990 --> 00:29:33,630
who went to Union College and connected

151
00:29:43,330 --> 00:29:40,660
these experiments that moved up to

152
00:29:45,890 --> 00:29:43,340
succeed in college and our medical

153
00:29:45,900 --> 00:29:54,270
this experiment can fit

154
00:30:04,110 --> 00:29:56,010
of the tree and I'll be one more here on

155
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,250
if the

156
00:30:14,660 --> 00:30:10,160
dude with a number of chamber

157
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:14,670
one side is half the state and the other

158
00:30:21,330 --> 00:30:27,090
Laurie

159
00:30:35,020 --> 00:30:30,120
neighbors are separated by what's bad a

160
00:30:35,030 --> 00:30:39,950
service that looks kind of like that

161
00:31:02,610 --> 00:30:41,810
that surface test we're going to react

162
00:31:08,550 --> 00:31:06,210
I need that premium to do this though

163
00:31:12,030 --> 00:31:08,560
the LP heavy will

164
00:31:14,550 --> 00:31:12,040
when one here yeah no I'm doing it it's

165
00:31:26,970 --> 00:31:14,560
retracting about the block don't know

166
00:31:29,270 --> 00:31:26,980
one size 11 solution to make the

167
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:29,280
Discovery's payload Bay facing the earth

168
00:31:37,740 --> 00:31:35,290
over the Cape I thank my wife the

169
00:31:39,530 --> 00:31:37,750
daughter is out there so please get the

170
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:39,540
hello for me

171
00:31:52,950 --> 00:31:51,419
discovery passing along at about 17,500

172
00:31:54,869 --> 00:31:52,960
miles per hour

173
00:31:56,909 --> 00:31:54,879
it's for my instrumentation

174
00:32:00,480 --> 00:31:56,919
Communications Officer Harry black now

175
00:33:15,250 --> 00:32:00,490
has got a good view of the peninsula

176
00:33:15,260 --> 00:33:27,390
in our subjective evaluation

177
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:33,540
okay brother CRC

178
00:33:33,550 --> 00:33:37,950
really

179
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:48,930
not a realistic

180
00:33:48,940 --> 00:34:05,090
like him

181
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:08,620
okay I still have a squeal I'm a squeal

182
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:10,970
crowd noise when you do

183
00:34:34,010 --> 00:34:37,890
am I reading everything

184
00:34:37,900 --> 00:34:41,530
get a good center

185
00:34:41,540 --> 00:34:45,750
thank you really have to be

186
00:34:50,340 --> 00:34:47,370
bitters receivers probably could use

187
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:50,350
another set down a bit

188
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:51,970
give you an idea of some of the things

189
00:34:56,970 --> 00:34:55,090
that happen to be stuck in here most

190
00:34:59,400 --> 00:34:56,980
important for those of us who like to

191
00:35:01,350 --> 00:34:59,410
eat it is spoon it turns out the spoon

192
00:35:04,110 --> 00:35:01,360
is the universal utensil in space

193
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:04,120
because just about everything will stick

194
00:35:09,110 --> 00:35:05,890
to it and now you can use that to get it

195
00:35:14,070 --> 00:35:12,120
flashlight light we use that to find a

196
00:35:21,530 --> 00:35:14,080
bathroom when we got to everything dark

197
00:35:21,540 --> 00:35:28,760
make changes that need to be erased and

198
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:35,910
changes and Parker and has to make big

199
00:35:46,130 --> 00:35:38,110
big big changes that the commander can

200
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:46,140
read them and and also I can't be a

201
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:48,970
little bit of pity swiss pocket knife

202
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:50,770
and i guess that's in case I get lost

203
00:35:55,470 --> 00:35:52,770
overboard can't find these other things

204
00:35:58,560 --> 00:35:55,480
the really interesting stuff though is

205
00:36:03,810 --> 00:35:58,570
not in the flats but in the pocket

206
00:36:09,380 --> 00:36:03,820
itself and well it's just go on a trip

207
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:11,430
you still getting this okay Houston

208
00:36:17,610 --> 00:36:15,310
that's affirmative dick okay first thing

209
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:17,620
that they come across is food and now

210
00:36:22,590 --> 00:36:19,930
you know there's all kinds of nuts and

211
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:22,600
an M&E I'm just stepping and we packed

212
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:24,850
those in their case FAO schedule just

213
00:36:38,570 --> 00:36:45,950
and then of course

214
00:36:52,970 --> 00:36:49,510
there's a there's a little tape recorded

215
00:36:56,450 --> 00:36:52,980
earphones takes even a little speaker in

216
00:36:59,630 --> 00:36:56,460
their case music get now we got a little

217
00:37:01,550 --> 00:36:59,640
Willie Nelson and some oldies and but

218
00:37:05,630 --> 00:37:01,560
goodies the commander would like to talk

219
00:37:26,300 --> 00:37:05,640
but he's all tied up he wanted to show

220
00:37:36,510 --> 00:37:33,990
yes up here down for former Capcom like

221
00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:36,520
the shore sample all that's very proud

222
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:39,100
of my state efficient operation subtract

223
00:37:44,970 --> 00:37:42,850
it so we have our board here that mo

224
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:44,980
these patch we're real proud to have

225
00:37:50,790 --> 00:37:46,570
brought up and we look forward to

226
00:37:52,890 --> 00:37:50,800
bringing it back to y'all and control DP

227
00:37:56,130 --> 00:37:52,900
when we come back we sure appreciate all

228
00:38:01,140 --> 00:37:56,140
that standing work y'all set at where we

229
00:38:02,310 --> 00:38:01,150
are today Rick that's coming in real

230
00:38:03,540 --> 00:38:02,320
clear and you've got a bunch of people

231
00:38:17,390 --> 00:38:03,550
applauding down here we really

232
00:39:25,110 --> 00:38:19,460
discovery is them with you through the

233
00:39:25,120 --> 00:40:53,410
baby

234
00:40:59,290 --> 00:40:56,380
discovery on behalf of the Challenger

235
00:41:00,100 --> 00:40:59,300
families and all of us down here here

236
00:41:01,650 --> 00:41:00,110
doesn't feel good

237
00:43:21,050 --> 00:41:01,660
see the Challenger vision continue

238
00:43:21,060 --> 00:43:49,339
indeed indeed

239
00:43:59,880 --> 00:43:51,170
I think maybe we need to start running

240
00:44:09,340 --> 00:44:02,549
I wish we had some Beach Boys music to

241
00:44:14,809 --> 00:44:11,960
here is we're going out the door to the

242
00:47:01,410 --> 00:44:16,880
okay one more time I wish we had the

243
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:03,609
okay I thought I'd tell you a little bit

244
00:47:08,410 --> 00:47:05,810
about the fight station up here we've

245
00:47:12,220 --> 00:47:08,420
seen an awful lot of the experiments

246
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:12,230
going on down the mid-deck and also out

247
00:47:19,300 --> 00:47:15,770
the window photography course going up

248
00:47:21,130 --> 00:47:19,310
and launch and coming back home the

249
00:47:22,990 --> 00:47:21,140
station's the commander's station that

250
00:47:27,010 --> 00:47:23,000
I'm sitting in and the pilot station to

251
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:27,020
my right as well as Dave homers seat

252
00:47:32,170 --> 00:47:30,290
which is right in between us it's not up

253
00:47:34,870 --> 00:47:32,180
right now but he'd be sitting right here

254
00:47:36,900 --> 00:47:34,880
where he can monitor both of us are the

255
00:47:39,910 --> 00:47:36,910
ones that we control the shuttle from

256
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:39,920
let me point out a few of the controls

257
00:47:46,870 --> 00:47:43,130
that we have first of all between my

258
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:46,880
legs I have a stick like you would find

259
00:47:58,540 --> 00:47:49,010
in an airplane I'm going to move it up

260
00:48:02,050 --> 00:48:00,610
yeah I've got my left hand out and

261
00:48:05,770 --> 00:48:02,060
although I would normally fly with my

262
00:48:09,010 --> 00:48:05,780
right and like a normal airplane stick

263
00:48:11,530 --> 00:48:09,020
it can control the shuttle by rolling it

264
00:48:15,100 --> 00:48:11,540
left or right dipping the wings as it

265
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:15,110
were pitching up or down moving the nose

266
00:48:20,350 --> 00:48:18,290
up or down also when we're on orbit

267
00:48:23,860 --> 00:48:20,360
using the reaction control system we can

268
00:48:27,420 --> 00:48:23,870
yaw the shuttle left or right by

269
00:48:30,610 --> 00:48:27,430
twisting the stick this way and that

270
00:48:33,730 --> 00:48:30,620
slices the nose left to right what an

271
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:33,740
aerodynamic flight coming back in beyond

272
00:48:43,210 --> 00:48:39,650
function is not not using now we also

273
00:48:45,700 --> 00:48:43,220
have controls for the orbital

274
00:48:48,610 --> 00:48:45,710
maneuvering system engines the ones that

275
00:48:51,190 --> 00:48:48,620
will do our deorbit burn with dick

276
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:51,200
coming over in the pilots side has most

277
00:48:55,690 --> 00:48:54,110
of the plumbing valves down here and my

278
00:49:00,880 --> 00:48:55,700
lower right however are the switches

279
00:49:03,490 --> 00:49:00,890
that we use to enable or as they say arm

280
00:49:05,770 --> 00:49:03,500
the old engines and then back working

281
00:49:09,340 --> 00:49:05,780
with the displays here and pushing some

282
00:49:11,590 --> 00:49:09,350
of our keys we can actually allow the

283
00:49:13,570 --> 00:49:11,600
computers to fire the Bureau of

284
00:49:21,850 --> 00:49:13,580
attendance for the prescribed amount of

285
00:49:24,010 --> 00:49:21,860
time this is probably not a one-man

286
00:49:26,050 --> 00:49:24,020
operation as you can see and we intend

287
00:49:34,759 --> 00:49:26,060
to help each other just like pinkies

288
00:49:40,380 --> 00:49:38,819
as you can see they see it it's a

289
00:49:42,749 --> 00:49:40,390
struggle to get into these things it

290
00:49:59,080 --> 00:49:42,759
doesn't take very long and they are warm

291
00:50:10,630 --> 00:50:01,130
discovery has been talking to you sir

292
00:50:14,410 --> 00:50:12,279
okay let them clear I understand you're

293
00:50:30,349 --> 00:50:14,420
through teachers and you're not getting

294
00:50:44,410 --> 00:50:32,910
Ricki have a go for a payload bay door

295
00:51:02,329 --> 00:50:51,760
that's a door operation for now

296
00:51:02,339 --> 00:51:12,030
discovery Houston go for deorbit burn

297
00:51:19,550 --> 00:51:14,190
this is Mission Control Houston we're

298
00:51:31,890 --> 00:51:22,080
propulsion systems officer reports were

299
00:51:50,780 --> 00:51:31,900
burning and looking good discovery

300
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:53,250
Mission Control on NASA select

301
00:51:58,020 --> 00:51:55,210
television we're now taking a view from

302
00:52:01,280 --> 00:51:58,030
helicopter over the landing area we're

303
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:01,290
looking at some of the 380,000 people

304
00:52:17,220 --> 00:52:04,890
gathered for the landing of discovery

305
00:52:19,500 --> 00:52:17,230
that kept that call from Capcom we've

306
00:52:21,660 --> 00:52:19,510
now acquired a signal a video signal

307
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:21,670
from Vandenberg of discovery and she

308
00:52:29,910 --> 00:52:27,990

324
00:55:15,969 --> 00:55:08,109
back a great ending to the new beginning

325
00:55:17,829 --> 00:55:15,979
thanks a lot on the runway runway one

327
00:55:24,279 --> 00:55:21,140
Facility Vice President George Bush has

328
00:55:26,079 --> 00:55:24,289
arrived down at the landing site with
