Canadian Space Agency and she has seated
next to our off more bald who is our
representative from the European Space
Agency norm thagard is one of our
mission specialists and this is our
commander Ron gravy seated next to
another mission specialist David humors
and our final two members this morning
or a bill Reedy and our pilot Steve
Oswald
first shown here is our commander Ronald
gravy he will be preparing for his third
flight in space this morning next to
gravy is one of our payload specialists
from the European Space Agency Oh mer
bold he is a citizen of the country of
Germany and he will be making his second
flight into space this morning a mission
specialists norm thagard is preparing to
make his fourth flight into space today
and our Canadian payload specialists
Roberta a bonder she'll be the only
female on board this morning she'll be
making her first trip into space but
this will be the second for a Canadian
payload specialist to fly aboard the
shuttle a fit check of the suits is
important to make sure that the crews
are not only comfortable but that the
seals around the helmets are adequate
and our mission specialist day of Hill
Mertz who was somewhat of a last-minute
addition he is actually not was not
assigned to the original crew he is
replacing the late Sonny Carter who was
killed in an accidental plane crash
about a year ago David helmers will be
making his fourth flight into space
today and our mission specialist bill
reading making his first flight into
space today
this is shuttle launch control and we
have our flight crew our seven-member
crew who are making their way down the
third floor level of the operations and
check-out building making their way to
the elevator standing by for the other
two crew members to come around the
corner so they can all ride down the
elevator together and here they come our

this is Mission Control Houston
activities in the activation procedures
with the space lab module continued go
very smoothly the crew it has completed
almost 14 of the 16 step the effect
complete that was effective a lot so far
the activation procedure everything has
gone very smoothly there are no major
problems that are being worked either
with discovery or with the space lab
module itself controllers here in
Houston are in the process of watching
over the shoulder of mission specialist
norm thagard as he activates the
laboratory
this is base I of operations Huntsville
showing activities which are currently
underway with the bio rack experiment
facility and that facility of course
reports 17 different experiments during
the IML one mission and at the moment
some activity under way on the
experiment known as proto for short a
Danish experiment she said still go
ahead okay Robin write these down let me
give you the time you better be people
that they wanted a steady ducati noise
author has been at the parents basis
that soon as much good stand by just a
minute Ron let's see what the
investigators want to do we'll be right
back with you ebioscience team from the
european space agency monitoring the
frog egg experiment here in our science
operations area on by iraq there's some
17 experiments 14 of which have been
contributed by the european space agency
and 3 by the united states
this particular experiment series uses
equipment especially designed are
modified for Space Lab look at me look
like the black day prison pretty good on
the blink control then it looks great
the principal investigators
co-investigators are watching with
considerable interest
this is baseline mission operations in
huntsville payload specialist both leer
boe and mission specialists Dave humors
have set up the sled experiment it is
one of several space physiology
experiments to be conducted during this
seven-day Space Lab mission
there are three groups of experiments
that make up cpf or critical point
facility the one supplied by the United
States neither by Holland and a third by
France okay so this is sooo exciting
activity 3 at the present time the crew
in the space lab module are setting up
the tri glycine sulfate crystal growth
experiment
the gas bridge that holds canisters is
capable of holding 12 canisters at a
time okay we see that bill thank you in
these three tubes on the mid-deck of
discovery each tube is about two inches
on in diameter and 15 inches long
they're filled with different size glass
beads one has beads a quarter millimeter
in diameter in it the other one has
beads one millimeter in diameter in it
and the third one has beads two
millimeters in diameter inside the blue
liquid that is moving through is simply
blue colored water to study the action
of that liquid the capillary action as
it moves through the porous medium of
the glass beads
number two and we're getting a good
extreme close-up view in this case of
the imax 70 millimeter motion picture
camera as pilot Steve Oswald in used to
handle the IMAX camera
set conserving consumables that the
folks on the ground are now officially
extending your mission an additional day
mission the orbit opportunities
available you help us with this by
powering down a CRT per the execute
package and turning off any other non
necessary equipment that you can find
commander on Granby and pilot Steve
Oswald are in the process of helping
controllers do some troubleshooting with
the waste collection system a little bit
earlier this afternoon controllers
notice that that system was not
depressurizing as it should so they're
watching over the shoulder of commander
gravy and Steve Oswald as they as they
are easy row the valve control handle
the late captain family L cutter or
Sonny as we all knew him was a member of
our crew until his tragic death the gold
star shining brightly in our crew patch
represents the way that we will always
remember Sonny a radiant bigger
illuminating everyone who met him with
his warped charm and loved his multitude
of balance and comparable joyful life
will never be forgotten
Sonny shared with us the unique
experience of glimpsing the splendor of
Earth from space and for precious few
days the exhilaration of being liberated
from the bondage of gravity no one ever
returned from a flight with greater
sense of awe and Wonder than Sonny he
was defensed that was vital for our
country and for the generations which
will follow us to maintain a man
presence in space and no one ever worked
harder to make the flight a success than
Sonny after he was assigned to IML one
we can only hope that you would have
been proud of the way that we have
carried on this mission after him
thanks for what I has take this moment
to remember Sonny run all of us who knew
Sonny echo your sentiments and thank you
for those memories of him secular
discovery Houston we're with you on
teachers West okay we appreciate that
will give you some forward RCS burn time
dump time of 50 seconds and be advised
the secondary actuator check in
hydraulic fluid thermal conditioning are
not required

Thank You touchdown
now let's gear touchdown as SDS solution
mission is TS 32 Royals out on runway 22
that at Edwards Air Force Base come home
recovery will stop Roger discovery and
welcome back your mission has given us a
preview of space station operations and
a look at the international cooperation
that will be a part of future space
exploration it's a nice job run thanks
doll which are all enjoyed it
this is Mission Control in crew
transport vehicle has the crew all on
board now all seven members of the STS
42 crew and that is preparing to pull
away and we'll take the crew on over to
the Dryden crew quarter facility we will
be expecting to hand over discovery to
the ground operations managers within
the next few minutes
this is Mission Control the SGS 42
flight control team has handed over the
care and maintenance of the space
shuttle Discovery to the ground
operations managers at the Dryden
facility
please stand by for the president of the
United States Colonel gravy can you hear
me yes ms president we hear you a lot of
queer what happened to good you guys
hear me up there all right we hear you a
lot clearer about the president laughing
clear let me just say to Commander gravy
and all the rest you all were I'm here
with a lot of the young astronauts and
some of the older astronauts as a matter
of fact for the for the crews here in
the White House complex and we just
called up to wish you well the Vice
President is with me Admiral truly is
with me and we just want to get from you
all how it's doing down there a lot of
these kids want to get going and get out
to Mars and you got any advice first of
all for these young guys here young kids
boys and girls well that the president
playing a young astronauts they want to
pursue a career as an out drop they
ought to be emphasizing magnet science
and their studies and just doing as well
as the camp it's a long hard road to get
there and does it makes a little look
along the way as well but that's
certainly worth the effort we've been
talking a little bit about the
contribution that these for journeys
make to science can you tell us a little
bit about the in layman's terms please
about the experiments as you all are
conducting so I want to turn that over
to contact these are pelota matters all
right promise president taking the
experiment orbit is an excellent way to
do experiments in summer as a trance and
it makes her this whole journey well
worthwhile the two principal things that
are areas that come to mind our
physiology both the plant and animal and
crystal growing and our other material
science
and we have some 55 experiments I think
in the IML compliment most of those are
working even as we speak and it is our
plan to do some more TV some more
explanation later on about support
details of that science well that is
very interesting now if you guys have a
couple more minutes we don't want to
detract you from all this
experimentation but it might be fun if
one of these young astronauts or maybe a
couple would like to here comes from a
man in fact this guy just gave a great
speech here what tell them your name and
see if you got a question for the end
there's a question what's it like in
zero gravity yes as we understood with
what yes sir I said the question he
wants it like fear of gravity I'll turn
it over to Dority who's on top left
that's great just going around
everything but the oil things it just
makes a whole lot easier besides we'll
put your pants on both legs at same time
it's easy to translate back and forth
that makes it a whole lot easier to do a
lot of the science because any
particular orientation you choose sports
the same as any other
it makes it all very clear thank you any
other you come on you come up in s1 is a
rare opportunity far away I wanted to
know how are you I want to know what was
your favorite of stem and you've taken
up so far oh no it sounds like a good
question for Steve Oswald a pilot to
answer Steve's over here on Phil well
actually I guess I'm a true the bus will
work at the expense all right but we've
got to be I have to get my board I've
been having a great pathway for those
buoys the other day project and we're
taking pictures right now for our movie
that will be coming out here swear the
year dude kappa reform acts like this so
that see how big it is asking about
what's great about your GU of his camera
on earth probably weighs about Oh 110
120 pounds even a big boost like ours as
trouble after that but you can see could
quite easily deal with just fingers
camera pumping lasers punches report on
who's manipulating it right now you can
see he has no trouble at all of it
that's great you have one ty Walker
pepper which one do you like better
being in space or being on earth well I
can't reduce our Canadian payload
specialist Roberta Potter who will be
blood dance in our living both in space
and on the earth really makes you
appreciate all the good for that of
those I think right now we're enjoying
very much the limited opportunity we've
had so far being up here we've certainly
enjoyed looking back at the earth during
our brief moments when or not an Arab
working the sciences and we're really
looking forward to a return to Earth to
bring back all the scientific
information and all the enthusiasm and
experience that we've gained in this
slide so far is it far about to think
right now we're just enjoying where we
are and we're going to be enjoying what
we're going to be when we come back and
I think it's just great to have had this
opportunity to be fine right with this
great crew dr. Bondar this is not a
young astronaut this is the president
speaking now but I just want to say how
how pleased we are that you representing
Canada are apart a fundamental part of
this I think it's a wonderful thing and
I think in a wonderful way it shows the
strength of ties between our two great
countries so I understand the Prime
Minister my friend Brian Mulrooney call
did he actually get through the other
day that was right about the time we are
having our briefing I just done their
lunchtime and said I had a lovely
telegram from him and he wishes all well
and good speed well keep up the good
work now we got if you got time for one
more question we got a real eager one
right here front of the line here weekly
see if you can get so they can I wonder
how you fill the space
I think the question is how do we feel
in space yeah well at space takes a
little bit of time to get used to it you
first get up you might feel just
slightest bit queasy yourself but by
about today this is our third day in
space for beginning to it that's pretty
well I think you can see we all feel
pretty comfortable up there so after you
get over the initial adjustment you can
look at space quite well and do things
that you do on earth I'm around some of
the older s flew in some of the older
astronauts are actually in space now and
anything that can give you the
enthusiasm that a kid has got to be a
great experience and I feel like I'm
about 12 well we go we go what planets
have you saved what planet see you a
scene
so of course we got the world's greatest
view of our world that on some of our
night passes we could see a solder at
jupiter at mars and venus really
spectacular up here hope we could go to
bars here why these days we're going to
keep trying to get this program geared
up to do just that and maybe just maybe
Colonel one of these kids here today
will be a part of that or maybe later
but Bob that one them will be a part of
that mission but listen I'm told we
gotta we gotta run on but I got a lot of
eager questioners but unfortunately I
guess we don't have the time but we
certainly want to wish you well your
fellow astronauts are standing here
quietly in the shadows and I know that
they are wishing you well the successful
conclusion of this productive journey
and you have our blessings and our
support and keep up the fine work you're
on the cutting edge and you're setting a
great example for the rest of our
countries the rest of the world
congratulations and thanks for taking
the time out Thank You president we
certainly want to thank you protecting
the time so I wish all the young
astronauts Rutka smokers
all the worldwide television audience
for today's game is estimated at around
750 million people but without the
audience out of this world joining us
now live from the space shuttle
discovery in orbit some 163 nautical
miles or 3300 football fields above the
Indian Ocean on the opposite side of the
planet from Minneapolis our shuttle
commander Ron gravy he is the gentleman
in the in the red skin hat I want to
step in our eggs pilot Steve Oswald's
welcome to the Super Bowl today
gentlemen tell us we see a lot going on
there what are we looking at for exit
area real happy to be with you or what
you're looking at here is the space lab
module that we have in the payload day
of these shuttle discovery and let me
call are some of our payload crew
members on Taggart and Roberta Bondar up
boards that give you a little idea of
what's going on well Greg and Terry this
is the spacelab mission if that beat
science so we've been performing one of
our vestibular experiments it will break
awake that join Ron I guess well kill me
duelen let's get your thoughts on
today's game since we've taken you away
from your work temporarily I actually
think we were kind of hoping that
Houston was going to be in today's again
but it looks like you've got a couple of
great teams that are going to go at it
we're just sorry that we don't have a
way of receiving the game up here
besides that NASA's keeping us a little
busy today I've got to ask you this high
in the world are you going to keep tabs
on the game find out who's winning sorry
thank you it'll keep us pretty well
informed and you hope so anyway yeah how
is how would a coin toss work in zero
gravity with representing problem always
thought about that we hope to that so we
have a little demonstration here but I
give the client to Roberto ponder here
she's our Canadian payload specialist
she knows a little more about Canadian
football in American football but
nonetheless she's interested in we'll
see about it 0t coin toss
I don't so we should call him back look
like his headdress giant breca as you
can see in zero-g the point never comes
down so we'll just have to defer the
coin toss with official pregame ceremony
well we hope they'll keep you advised on
what's happening we sure appreciate you
having taken time out of your busy
schedule we wish you a terrific mission
and a happy touchdown next Wednesday
when we come back our final thoughts

loot on we appreciate that this is an
international flight and international
crew and though we're very privileged to
be a part of it disk arrays european to
find it sharing space how do you feel
about this well I think days is a unique
place to do scientific experiments for
various reasons there's weightlessness
for today long period of time there's no
atmosphere and we also are the global
views that's that we can study our own
home planet and therefore I think
there's a tremendous potential for
scientific experiments we wish to reach
the turn of the century how do you see
the next steps of Pisa in face
oh the turn of the century I think them
from my personal point of view that it
is clear that we should work together on
the global scale and I'm a very
privileged man that I have already an
opportunity now adore flying orbit with
the finest that's an odd sort of united
states of america and i think we from a
European point of view can learn a lot
from them and I feel personally that we
should intensify the corporation because
we can learn a lot and if the air for
our potential then I think we can
accomplish a lot disc of rarely see mr.
Hassan speaking again I yet finished it
is time to conclude our best wishes of
successful 38-42 mission to the whole

is jay ingram at the Ontario Science
Centre in Toronto Prime Minister Brian
Mulrooney is standing by in Ottawa and
the Minister for science William
Winegard is with me right beside me here
in Toronto congratulations to you and
all your crew and a very successful
flight so far for example have the
entire crew of I always they don't like
to thank you we have 23 fortunate so far
the flight to talk very well we're very
pleased with that at this point I would
like to turn things over to and
introduce that dr. Roberto panther hello
dr. von der to start things off the
right honourable Brian Mulrooney the
Prime Minister is waiting in Ottawa and
he's ready to speak with you right now
good evening Roberta and the
congratulations on becoming Canada's
second space traveler as you know this
is a year of celebration in Canada our
125th birthday and your flight has
captured the imagination of all of your
fellow Canadians probably in a way that
you couldn't have imagined and the
success of this international mission
has demonstrated to the world that
anything can be achieved with dedication
and cooperation and I'm delighted to
have this opportunity to congratulate
you on what you and your colleagues have
achieved so far and to wish you all well
it's been a DNR and perfect to be on
board this particular missed we've had a
great deal of science accomplished so
far
my days we hope that we do a little bit
more we've enjoyed things with each
other and working with each other and
learning new things about the world
about how we work and how we view
science and it's just fantastic except I
just can't wait to get back and
psychoactive all about it revert I spoke
earlier today with Ken money who told me
that you would spend a little time just
studying countries as they went by and I
understand that you caught a glimpse of
Canada during your mission what struck
you most during the site so it's a lot
of time today I had a tooth on a
cassette tape my father actually have a
recording of all I thought the courts
are they working up your Volterra and
I'll just have to sort out yes we're
going right over Terra and it was just
fantastic hello it's winter time we're
going over the northern part of terror

young people roberta all canadians are
proud of you and what you've achieved
and I'd like to congratulate your other
crew members as well on this splendid
achievement and on behalf of all
Canadians wish you all a very safe
journey home god bless you all very much
this crime and drop it off at the entire
cruise thank you very much of those
wishes dr. Bondar this is jay Ingram
back in Toronto again thank you very
much mr. Mulrooney I have with me the
Honorable William winegard the Minister
for science I think he'd like to take
over and talk to you now well Roberta at
it doesn't seem possible that when you
graduated from the
university of guelph at all these years
later we would be have the opportunity
to talk like this it is quite thrilling
for us I have 700 700 people in the
Ontario Science Centre 200 of whom are
children many girl guides they have
asked me to ask you one special question
what's it like up there so it's very
very exciting it's all it's really
something to be able to just float
around and just around the discourse at
night i'm not worried about you / oh you
better have some good buddies are
commanded baby here to grab you back
down to earth event up here in space but
the most exciting part of it if you
start working besides it's be able to
have some perspective on where we are in
the world today and to be able to look
death it's not a beautiful planet sir
the crisp beautiful clear brilliant blue
atmosphere that we see and we said all
the time we have been in the sunlight on
the orbiters today's we've never hurry
up that night for a while we haven't had
a dog defi- over yet that it has been
absolutely incredible looking down and
seeing all the countries without
boundaries everything granted it to one
and you don't really care to people on
earth sometimes you can see the results
of the words the people of that but for
the most part you get an incredible
feeling that the whole world is such a
unique place and is all one and we
should try to preserve it that way I
really feel very strongly that we are
sir men are one planet some of the
children have also have an interest in
the canadian IM x MX a motion picture
camera they want it off it still
functioning well on its ninth journey
into space its functioning very well
we've had a lot of fun like you survived
back to the look of it doing here a
commander grade you just wanted come
over today also canada this boy looks
like now i notice of course it was there
listed like this
but its pace it's also by itself so
we're trying to get footage of here are
not what it's like to live out here the
kind of sites that we need to do in
order to be able to understand what it's
like to be interfaced and to help us
solve some of those mysteries that we've
discovered actually what we discovered
an inside there are a lot more mysteries
that have to be looked into and
questions raised and tops and
experiments to solve in the future years
ahead I think that does be our next
stomach it's going to be most exciting
to build the food this report to I hope
they understand when durability see more
clearly the kinds of things able to do
in the last few days I've cleared space
thank you i might one last word for me
Roberta i must say that your
somersaulting on sunday was what's more
interesting than the game attended
canadian federal is that the same again
this is jay ingram again dr. Bondar
thanks very much for taking the time to
talk to us and thank you also commander
gravy for setting setting time aside for
us to be able to talk to you both from
toronto here william Weingarten myself
and for the prime minister mr. Mulrooney
in ottawa thank you very much
discovery Houston we have good down
leaked video from the lab you ready for
the press conference on air-to-ground to
our discovery stand by where I'm the
marshal press ENTER Marshall your go
with your call discovery this is the
Marshall press center we're ready to
begin the press conference if you are
clear and we're ready to begin good
morning I have a question for dr.
blonder we don't have too many Canadians
in space so I'd like to start off with
her it's my comma list from broadcast
news Canada dr. Banda I wonder if you
could describe those three hours sitting
in the shuttle waiting to take off last
Wednesday what was it like what were you
thinking about and then could you
describe that ride up to the heavens
with my colleagues we were ready to grab
it with the cab down and when we
actually got to the point of liftoff it
was just absolutely wonderful to be on
the mid-deck hearing aid focusing
marvelous fabulous Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation for Roberta bonder Roberta
we know how much you were looking
forward to looking down at the planet
and out to the Stars can you share with
us just what your thoughts and feelings
have been as you've done that
it's very very difficult to describe and
I think that's what everybody says my
impression of the planet Earth is
there's certainly the title of blue
planet is a good one because the crisp
sunny bright jewel that we have we could
see the limit ears when I first got to
the window is one of the first things I
wanted to do and it was a very very
exciting for me to be able to look down
and plan first came over Kara it was a
biggest role imaginable with rua know
whether it has to be it was absolutely
beautiful and spectacular night I'm
coming back to earth with a feeling that
there is absolutely nothing boring there
is no boring place anywhere planet Joe

you know spoke with the tom bianchi see
you at their cooking at them ok again
it's kevin visit from cfb see radio in
saint john new brunswick dr. Bondar if
you could tell us what's been the most
difficult thing to adapt to in in space
everybody has a lot of experience in
spaceflight and they've been able to
help me a lot but for me the most
difficult thing has to learn how to
secure yourselves i think it took a
couple of days for me to be able to get
the hang of going between these space
lab and the mid-deck through the tunnel
without becoming a totally disoriented
it's kind of a beautiful feeling to come
up from the mid back into the space lab
and you think you're in that direction
you pop up into the space lab and speak
though you're upside down with reference
to verticals that we learned on Stephen
Straus from The Globe and Mail newspaper
in Toronto this is for dr. Bondar I know
you're working on a book with your
sister about the the science of the IML
mission what will you put in the book
now or emphasize having actually flown
that you might not have put in before
the rigorous dose and a very edori on
tape about some of the the absence of
doing science space some of the things
that we need to not only tell her the
young people who are hopeful will read
the book but also outside of food
want to put on experiments safelite I
also would like to put a little bit more
about really living up here because it
is part we've had a good time together
and a lot of our little tricks that you
learned up here and a lot of experience
that you gave mother's terms of time to
make this a wonderful time at which to
live for dr. von der eaves savory a
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation the
question that you were asked in French
dr. Banda you had said it was the
biggest open book exam of your life how
has that played out well it was not an
underestimation let me tell you when you
first start up for me here in the space
lab we first started up the courage to
expand that few work with sweaty palms
because you know how much work decided
to put into putting experiments together
we only hope that the data that they're
going to get back from this space
mission will be reflective of all are
carrying an effort that we put in up
here sir terms of all the other exam I
love them when we get back with all we
all get our phrase my question will be

I'm asking welcome it for zdf German TV
if I first would like to ask you in
English and switched to German after
your first space flight you spoke of the
vulnerability of the planet earth now
well back into space what do you think
how can we on earth get profit out of
the space and the conditions you found
there you owe me based on four foot nom
with me about convenience of the air
today in that so pumped i'm also not
samaha
I think that it says no question that
space God from my perspective has a lot
of potential first of all we use pays as
a unique laboratory and do experiments
in all different scientific areas
there's observation the designs life
sciences and born and all the knowledge
came there will help do a make life on
Earth better in addition spaceflight
requires that they hijacked approaches
that reason technology is stimulated and
clapping example of this kind is the
Apollo program I think Jerry stimulated
tremendously the development of the
integrated dick words because only very
powerful but night and very reliable
computers a lot them the Americans to
fly to the moon in addition there's also
philosophical dimension it's for the
first time in human history that we have
the means an end to leave the planet and
I think that will change our views and
therefore there's no question in my mind
that space life is of course and it
would be a tremendous mistake not to do
it this is Daria Robinson of the
European Space Agency I have questions
out from our press watching you directly
from Europe the first one from Pete's
moldos Dutch space rider of Baja
television wolf almost ten years ago you
made your first base flight is there a
distinct difference between your
personal experience then and now from a
psychological and physiological point of
view now that is the space I was eight
years ago I think I made years older
that that makes it easier for me

what has been the most exciting and
unexpected event during this IML mission
so far the most exciting of them blank
space what I think really has to be the
SFA's the first date man and it's you're
really at the focal point of the
unleashing of a lot of power and that is
what happens that's that that's so got
to be the most exciting thing that
you're going to experience television
again with me about do you think that in
your opinion should space exploration
continuing national programs or do you
see any chance to get more cooperation
instead of more competition even through
the cost will be reduced my mind is very
i'm in favor of corporation and i think
the others life decide we are on right
now is a classic example for cooperative
program because we have an international
crew we have experiments from many
different nations and i think that that
is the way to do it 1010 deutsch

have that problem when you attempt at
the rotating chair on earth and why do
you suppose you are experiencing the

okay well somehow I managed to get this
one's the the rotating chair can be a
challenge at times but I think in
general we've been able to to get
through most of it a lot of folks
probably about two-thirds of folks are a
little bit queasy on the first couple of

motion it tends to exacerbate it the
chair induces motions so as you might
understand it also exacerbates an

David Hill murs i read that you've
become fairly relaxed in this nauseating
motion experience experiment what is
your mindset going into some of these
experience experiments are you
personally and genuinely interested or
is it more like a giant playground where
you get play with the toys and do you
leave the interpretation for the doctors
and scientists here on earth
okay I'm not sure I heard all the
questions there's something about me
being relaxed going to the experiments I
actually found the MBI experiment to be
one that i have just
