1 00:00:11,209 --> 00:00:08,629 this is the ascent portion of our 2 00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:11,219 mission mcountdown of the Cape this went 3 00:00:15,049 --> 00:00:13,320 flawlessly we're really really pleased 4 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:15,059 with the way things went down went on 5 00:00:17,269 --> 00:00:15,690 down there 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:17,279 the engine starting you can see the 7 00:00:20,599 --> 00:00:18,690 shockwaves come out of the throats of 8 00:00:22,250 --> 00:00:20,609 the the nozzles the nozzles vibrate the 9 00:00:25,970 --> 00:00:22,260 engines get up and stable in about six 10 00:00:28,670 --> 00:00:25,980 seconds solid rocket motors fire and 11 00:00:30,349 --> 00:00:28,680 we're off in for a new guy doing this 12 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:30,359 the first time it's really a thrill and 13 00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:32,489 that thing feels like being on a rough 14 00:00:35,299 --> 00:00:34,110 train while the solid rocket motors are 15 00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:35,309 firing if y'all have been on rough 16 00:00:39,170 --> 00:00:36,600 railroad track that's about what it 17 00:00:41,569 --> 00:00:39,180 feels like and it's a very interesting 18 00:00:42,889 --> 00:00:41,579 ride you can function normally and right 19 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:42,899 before we lifted off kripp said get 20 00:00:45,860 --> 00:00:44,250 ready for the ride of your lives and he 21 00:00:48,049 --> 00:00:45,870 was right it's the ride of your life 22 00:00:52,189 --> 00:00:48,059 it's totally so big throw on your third 23 00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:52,199 time to the one of the one of the neat 24 00:00:55,130 --> 00:00:53,760 things about this mission was we're 25 00:00:56,569 --> 00:00:55,140 gonna do direct insertion into orbit so 26 00:00:58,279 --> 00:00:56,579 we didn't do an orbital maneuvering 27 00:00:59,479 --> 00:00:58,289 system one burn right after the main 28 00:01:01,610 --> 00:00:59,489 engines cut off so we're going right 29 00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:01,620 into orbit off the pad and we're going 30 00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:03,449 up 250 miles so the trajectory and 31 00:01:06,830 --> 00:01:04,320 everything was a little bit different 32 00:01:10,969 --> 00:01:06,840 and it made made a real interesting ride 33 00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:10,979 out of it the solid rocket motors the 34 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:13,439 engines and everything just magnificent 35 00:01:17,630 --> 00:01:15,090 we didn't have a glitch the whole essent 36 00:01:18,740 --> 00:01:17,640 which is really nice you don't want any 37 00:01:21,469 --> 00:01:18,750 glitches when this kind of stuff's going 38 00:01:22,460 --> 00:01:21,479 on outside you window we all kept on 39 00:01:25,370 --> 00:01:22,470 watching crippled make sure this is the 40 00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:25,380 way it's really yeah okay solid rocket 41 00:01:29,630 --> 00:01:27,330 motors separated they saw the plumes 42 00:01:31,039 --> 00:01:29,640 from the separation motor so slog up our 43 00:01:32,690 --> 00:01:31,049 windows pretty good up in front they 44 00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:32,700 they put a haze on the on the forward 45 00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:34,560 windows when they go off and you get a 46 00:01:37,819 --> 00:01:35,970 nice flash in the windows but it's a 47 00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:37,829 nice smooth separation this is letting 48 00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:39,150 the bees out of their little house here 49 00:01:45,620 --> 00:01:43,380 kind of we did this a couple times a day 50 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:45,630 it was good entertainment if nothing 51 00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:46,890 else and we were watching their progress 52 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:54,850 yeah we were made sure that there was no 53 00:02:03,280 --> 00:01:56,570 way that we're going to get out of it I 54 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:03,290 checked that okay this is uh more of the 55 00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:05,450 housework I did a lot of a lot of the 56 00:02:08,350 --> 00:02:07,310 cooking in bottle washing and then if 57 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:08,360 you look out the window there you can 58 00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:09,649 see the snow going by we're doing a 59 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:12,650 water dump at the same time cooking a 60 00:02:17,710 --> 00:02:15,050 meal was about like doing it on the 61 00:02:19,660 --> 00:02:17,720 ground there this is a bank shot by 62 00:02:23,259 --> 00:02:19,670 Crippin I get my eggs in my mouth okay 63 00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:23,269 do you do tend to eat in space like you 64 00:02:51,130 --> 00:02:36,940 almost almost at least I eat in space I 65 00:02:57,009 --> 00:02:51,140 eat like I do underground that was the 66 00:03:01,449 --> 00:02:57,019 real rotating grapple over gave us time 67 00:03:03,220 --> 00:03:01,459 to play well in this particular sequence 68 00:03:06,819 --> 00:03:03,230 we were showing how we prepare a meal 69 00:03:08,890 --> 00:03:06,829 and we divided these tasks up among all 70 00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:08,900 the crew members a daily usually wound 71 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:10,190 up doing breakfast because nobody was 72 00:03:16,990 --> 00:03:14,570 quick enough for him making meals is a 73 00:03:21,550 --> 00:03:17,000 fairly easy task on-orbit all you had to 74 00:03:22,930 --> 00:03:21,560 do is essentially like very good it's 75 00:03:26,170 --> 00:03:22,940 such like backpacking you essentially 76 00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:26,180 add water to to the food and it was very 77 00:03:30,819 --> 00:03:28,609 good I'll let Rick describe what we're 78 00:03:33,940 --> 00:03:30,829 doing here well at the risk of endorsing 79 00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:33,950 a product that's an interesting physical 80 00:03:39,099 --> 00:03:35,840 and demonstration on orbit of the fact 81 00:03:40,780 --> 00:03:39,109 that things really are weightless that's 82 00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:40,790 how the crew was rewarded when we did 83 00:03:44,110 --> 00:03:50,630 Rick would release another handful 84 00:04:05,630 --> 00:03:53,090 since Anna didn't wear things right than 85 00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:05,640 anybody she got most of Dave on-orbit 86 00:04:10,820 --> 00:04:08,790 described dr. Owen as as large and 87 00:04:12,830 --> 00:04:10,830 personality but the dominion of stature 88 00:04:14,780 --> 00:04:12,840 whenever his personality got a little 89 00:04:17,449 --> 00:04:14,790 bit too large we would stuff him away in 90 00:04:19,130 --> 00:04:17,459 a walker for a few hours and then when 91 00:04:32,170 --> 00:04:19,140 the TAS needed to be done that was my 92 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:34,940 this was a somewhat unpleasant task for 93 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:37,290 me but but Joe Joe seemed to like the 94 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:41,040 free of the times and the hard part was 95 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:42,570 putting him back in there again later 96 00:04:55,909 --> 00:04:53,370 once we go here's Gordon getting ready 97 00:04:58,010 --> 00:04:55,919 for one of the many burns with our 98 00:04:59,690 --> 00:04:58,020 smaller orbital maneuvering system 99 00:05:01,930 --> 00:04:59,700 rocket engines here you see us 100 00:05:05,210 --> 00:05:01,940 maneuvering attitude and the small 101 00:05:07,190 --> 00:05:05,220 attitude Jets firing we did an 102 00:05:08,930 --> 00:05:07,200 experiment so you could appreciate the 103 00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:08,940 acceleration we get out of these rocket 104 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:10,560 engine firings we've put 8 ounces of 105 00:05:15,469 --> 00:05:12,210 water on the mid-deck and here you see a 106 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:15,479 travel across dr. Bartow is catching it 107 00:05:20,540 --> 00:05:17,970 we also tried to sleep through some of 108 00:05:22,190 --> 00:05:20,550 these burns and we staged this next 109 00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:22,200 scene to show you what it felt like in 110 00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:25,919 the buck that hurt no it was a great 111 00:05:35,810 --> 00:05:33,630 train wreck here we're setting up for an 112 00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:35,820 on-orbit ohm's burn we're getting some 113 00:05:39,290 --> 00:05:37,710 things ready in the mid-deck there's the 114 00:05:43,769 --> 00:05:39,300 Oma's engines firing out at the back and 115 00:05:48,969 --> 00:05:46,779 that's 1/16 of a GE each of the ohms 116 00:05:50,679 --> 00:05:48,979 engine says one foot per second squared 117 00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:50,689 for a total of two feet per second 118 00:05:55,419 --> 00:05:53,089 squared and that 1/16 of a G felt like a 119 00:05:56,379 --> 00:05:55,429 lot to us after being up there for three 120 00:05:57,609 --> 00:05:56,389 or four days and you can see the 121 00:05:59,379 --> 00:05:57,619 acceleration on the tape it keeps 122 00:06:01,119 --> 00:05:59,389 wanting to go back towards the aft 123 00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:01,129 bulkhead because we're accelerating 124 00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:07,809 here we can see the left ohms engine 125 00:06:12,339 --> 00:06:10,969 burn and that's just to start up the 126 00:06:14,489 --> 00:06:12,349 burn lasts for a little while and this 127 00:06:16,799 --> 00:06:14,499 is what it looks like in the mid-deck 128 00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:16,809 Jerry made it right into the airlock and 129 00:06:23,679 --> 00:06:21,529 we've collected all those pieces here's 130 00:06:25,449 --> 00:06:23,689 a picture of Gordo establishing himself 131 00:06:26,859 --> 00:06:25,459 in that area and why don't you move the 132 00:06:32,259 --> 00:06:26,869 coat there Gordo and get it out of the 133 00:06:34,059 --> 00:06:32,269 way okay and of course one of the things 134 00:06:46,330 --> 00:06:34,069 Barrow had to do is brush his hair every 135 00:06:52,970 --> 00:06:50,650 eating was a real pleasure of course 136 00:06:54,890 --> 00:06:52,980 it's impossible to knock your milk off 137 00:06:56,660 --> 00:06:54,900 the table up there kiddos it's there's 138 00:06:58,340 --> 00:06:56,670 no way to get in trouble with mom you 139 00:06:59,570 --> 00:06:58,350 just leave things float around and when 140 00:07:01,700 --> 00:06:59,580 you want them you just grab them out of 141 00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:01,710 thin air and you can eat standing on 142 00:07:12,350 --> 00:07:07,290 your head or however you please girl oh 143 00:07:14,270 --> 00:07:12,360 here this is demonstrating what happens 144 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:14,280 if you ever drop a cat it always ends up 145 00:07:17,540 --> 00:07:15,810 on it's four feet in a matter what 146 00:07:19,340 --> 00:07:17,550 attitude and that's we've had a lot of 147 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:19,350 discussions about how this works yes 148 00:07:29,810 --> 00:07:21,410 that's right he's not shoveling the air 149 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:29,820 it's actually he's he's the one in the 150 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:32,010 right of course is a magnet the one on 151 00:07:40,270 --> 00:07:33,570 the left is just a pencil and we had no 152 00:07:50,090 --> 00:07:47,630 we're still waiting the results gordo 153 00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:50,100 practicing his uh landing technique you 154 00:07:58,660 --> 00:07:51,840 ready for re-entry 155 00:08:04,370 --> 00:08:02,050 we get up in the morning and um you know 156 00:08:06,260 --> 00:08:04,380 brush our teeth and comb our hair and 157 00:08:08,330 --> 00:08:06,270 the rest of that stuff here some of the 158 00:08:24,850 --> 00:08:08,340 crew equipment we had was limited so we 159 00:08:34,459 --> 00:08:31,999 this this sequence we call hair Wars as 160 00:08:36,499 --> 00:08:34,469 you might expect the commander one of 161 00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:36,509 course I'm not dumb enough to get the 162 00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:43,110 hairbrush away from the commander this 163 00:08:49,730 --> 00:08:46,110 set next scene is not staged this is a 164 00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:49,740 real teleprinter message we set a new 165 00:08:54,230 --> 00:08:51,690 record on this flight for the amount of 166 00:08:57,319 --> 00:08:54,240 teleprinter messages sent up every 167 00:08:59,590 --> 00:08:57,329 single Rev on the night side they send 168 00:09:02,030 --> 00:08:59,600 up a new detailed plan for the 169 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:02,040 scientists here to accomplish on the 170 00:09:08,540 --> 00:09:05,130 next solar pass and that was an actual 171 00:09:10,670 --> 00:09:08,550 message all full of fine print but 172 00:09:12,740 --> 00:09:10,680 fortunately for me all I had to do is 173 00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:12,750 take it up to the upper deck and pass it 174 00:09:18,050 --> 00:09:14,160 out to the people who really had to read 175 00:09:19,819 --> 00:09:18,060 it we recorded a new space first on this 176 00:09:21,769 --> 00:09:19,829 flight we ran out of teleprinter paper 177 00:09:23,660 --> 00:09:21,779 after five and a half days was the first 178 00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:23,670 time that's happened and story Musgrave 179 00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:25,920 changed out the paper roll in space for 180 00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:29,579 the first time but the hairbrush one 181 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:40,110 wasn't staged either we had to devise a 182 00:10:04,890 --> 00:10:00,420 little weightlifting and balancing act 183 00:10:12,090 --> 00:10:07,240 now that many of you can do this right 184 00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:14,400 he doesn't put him on one leg at a time 185 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:19,690 like everybody else as soon as I get 186 00:10:24,829 --> 00:10:21,490 this down I'm gonna get a Dorothy Hamill 187 00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:24,839 wig and try out for the ice cream 188 00:10:30,530 --> 00:10:27,220 and of course Marines aren't happy 189 00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:30,540 unless they do their push-ups every day 190 00:10:35,910 --> 00:10:33,279 that wasn't too tough so you know look 191 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:43,249 and if you want to even do photos 192 00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:45,449 now if you really got frustrated you can 193 00:10:53,549 --> 00:10:51,040 do here we are sitting down for supper 194 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:53,559 we had trays you can see some of the 195 00:10:57,809 --> 00:10:54,970 food stuck to the back there 196 00:11:00,629 --> 00:10:57,819 they had trays that we could position on 197 00:11:03,389 --> 00:11:00,639 our laps velcro and then set our food in 198 00:11:05,790 --> 00:11:03,399 them as Steve pointed out this 199 00:11:09,059 --> 00:11:05,800 zero-gravity adds new meaning to the 200 00:11:13,290 --> 00:11:09,069 term past the potatoes they load them 201 00:11:17,869 --> 00:11:13,300 all the way across the cabin the menu 202 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:17,879 was quite varied and really pretty good 203 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:20,170 people accused me we had color code and 204 00:11:25,410 --> 00:11:21,970 people accused me of always having my 205 00:11:27,629 --> 00:11:25,420 color on everything exercise was part of 206 00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:27,639 our daily routine on orbit just like it 207 00:11:31,199 --> 00:11:29,769 is back here on earth getting set up on 208 00:11:33,389 --> 00:11:31,209 the treadmill takes a little bit longer 209 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:33,399 in orbit but it feels just as good to 210 00:11:39,809 --> 00:11:36,850 quit and our sleep Arrangements looked a 211 00:11:41,970 --> 00:11:39,819 lot like summer camp a little bit of 212 00:11:44,639 --> 00:11:41,980 bunks here and there two of us slept 213 00:11:46,499 --> 00:11:44,649 anchored to lockers two of us slept 214 00:11:50,369 --> 00:11:46,509 strung across the room and two of us 215 00:11:52,769 --> 00:11:50,379 slept on the wall and you notice that in 216 00:11:59,840 --> 00:11:52,779 zero-g when you relax your arms tend to 217 00:12:01,829 --> 00:11:59,850 float up it was very comfortable 218 00:12:06,379 --> 00:12:01,839 we didn't always sleep with a nightlight 219 00:12:10,860 --> 00:12:09,299 well it's constantly fascinating just to 220 00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:10,870 watch the way objects behave in 221 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:13,360 zero-gravity here we have a set of gyro 222 00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:15,370 stabilized binoculars there was a little 223 00:12:18,569 --> 00:12:16,809 bit too much friction in them so they 224 00:12:22,889 --> 00:12:18,579 were actually a bit gyro unstabilized 225 00:12:24,689 --> 00:12:22,899 but still with 14 powered binoculars it 226 00:12:26,910 --> 00:12:24,699 was just amazing what we could see on 227 00:12:29,419 --> 00:12:26,920 the ground and of course I also enjoyed 228 00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:29,429 what I could see up in the sky since I'm 229 00:12:34,799 --> 00:12:32,470 an astronomer we also carried some 230 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:34,809 science demonstration objects commonly 231 00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:39,970 known as tio YS this was done primarily 232 00:12:45,299 --> 00:12:43,120 to make some educational footage which 233 00:12:47,419 --> 00:12:45,309 we can use and distribute to science 234 00:12:49,829 --> 00:12:47,429 teachers throughout the country here Bo 235 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:49,839 forgot to spend the gyroscopes up and 236 00:12:52,950 --> 00:12:51,250 somehow it just didn't didn't stay 237 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:52,960 stable so we're going to 238 00:12:59,370 --> 00:12:56,290 another chance and here he's gonna get 239 00:13:01,500 --> 00:12:59,380 it spinning there we go 240 00:13:03,780 --> 00:13:01,510 of course the principle of gyroscopic 241 00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:03,790 stability has been around a long time we 242 00:13:10,070 --> 00:13:05,920 use it for navigation our satellites use 243 00:13:13,650 --> 00:13:10,080 it when they come out of the cargo bay 244 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:13,660 but of course without the without 245 00:13:18,330 --> 00:13:15,850 gravity and just being able to float it 246 00:13:20,910 --> 00:13:18,340 free here you can study the behavior of 247 00:13:22,860 --> 00:13:20,920 the gyroscope and and watch the way it 248 00:13:25,050 --> 00:13:22,870 moves around in a way that we never get 249 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:25,060 a chance to do in laboratories on the 250 00:13:30,660 --> 00:13:28,330 earth I'm sure all of you have held a 251 00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:30,670 gyroscope on a string or on your fingers 252 00:13:37,050 --> 00:13:34,510 and after a while as it spins down the 253 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:37,060 force of gravity starts to torque it and 254 00:13:41,130 --> 00:13:38,770 it starts to process around of course 255 00:13:42,750 --> 00:13:41,140 that that never happens in in zero 256 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:42,760 gravity you can keep playing with it 257 00:13:47,460 --> 00:13:45,250 almost up up to the moment where where 258 00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:47,470 it is not spinning at all and it still 259 00:13:51,330 --> 00:13:49,630 stays stable in fact it was just a 260 00:13:52,620 --> 00:13:51,340 constant source of fascination all the 261 00:13:55,350 --> 00:13:52,630 different things you could do with these 262 00:13:57,870 --> 00:13:55,360 very ordinary devices this is a little 263 00:13:59,460 --> 00:13:57,880 magnetic wheeler that I'm using normally 264 00:14:00,870 --> 00:13:59,470 on the earth to start this with gravity 265 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:00,880 I found it was pretty easy to start it 266 00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:03,610 up using centrifugal force this one as 267 00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:05,710 long as I was holding it behave pretty 268 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:07,390 much the way it did on the earth but as 269 00:14:13,620 --> 00:14:08,770 soon as you let it go then it does all 270 00:14:18,540 --> 00:14:13,630 sorts of neat things and here comes mr. 271 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:18,550 yo-yo we had a lot of discussions with 272 00:14:22,650 --> 00:14:20,050 physicists friends of mine about whether 273 00:14:24,570 --> 00:14:22,660 the yo-yo was going to work and it 274 00:14:27,210 --> 00:14:24,580 worked fabulous you could do it fast you 275 00:14:32,490 --> 00:14:27,220 could do it slow you could do it to the 276 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:32,500 ceiling that's the famous toy Dave did 277 00:14:36,030 --> 00:14:34,690 flying saucers around the moon he's a 278 00:14:37,830 --> 00:14:36,040 real champ and if they don't let him 279 00:14:41,370 --> 00:14:37,840 into the yo-yo Association of America 280 00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:44,100 putting the jacks here 281 00:14:49,019 --> 00:14:46,480 there was constant constant danger of 282 00:14:50,250 --> 00:14:49,029 massive explosions if the ball came back 283 00:14:52,620 --> 00:14:50,260 in the wrong place 284 00:14:54,870 --> 00:14:52,630 we managed to go through without ever 285 00:14:56,730 --> 00:14:54,880 losing the Jackson although it's not on 286 00:15:00,360 --> 00:14:56,740 film ray did manage to do hurt well 287 00:15:02,990 --> 00:15:00,370 teased by the end of the flight if you 288 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:03,000 if you let up a paper airplane just 289 00:15:07,530 --> 00:15:05,890 float it's pretty much carried away by 290 00:15:09,449 --> 00:15:07,540 the air currents in the shuttle as you 291 00:15:11,130 --> 00:15:09,459 see here and so it really doesn't take 292 00:15:12,660 --> 00:15:11,140 very much force just to start it on the 293 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:12,670 most beautiful flight that you ever seen 294 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:16,690 of any paper glider hope you like a home 295 00:15:21,780 --> 00:15:20,410 movie so far the Powerball behaved a lot 296 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:21,790 like it does on earth in that you can 297 00:15:26,370 --> 00:15:24,010 paddle it in nearly any direction if 298 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:26,380 you're clever enough I'm not sure I am 299 00:15:31,620 --> 00:15:27,850 clever enough to keep it going in in 300 00:15:33,210 --> 00:15:31,630 each direction as you can see here so 301 00:15:36,660 --> 00:15:33,220 the ins and outs ups and downs we're 302 00:15:43,730 --> 00:15:36,670 about the same it's a little harder to 303 00:15:49,530 --> 00:15:46,050 the straightforward sort of paddle ball 304 00:15:52,980 --> 00:15:49,540 operation is much slower and it's much 305 00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:52,990 easier this one is a little tougher jeff 306 00:15:57,329 --> 00:15:55,839 has here some magnetic marbles I'm not 307 00:15:58,590 --> 00:15:57,339 sure how you shoot marbles in space 308 00:16:02,069 --> 00:15:58,600 because it's a little hard to keep them 309 00:16:03,540 --> 00:16:02,079 in that ring but your shooter seems to 310 00:16:07,889 --> 00:16:03,550 work fine it joins right up with them 311 00:16:09,420 --> 00:16:07,899 all and it forms it forms into a into a 312 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:09,430 tour right as you might expect with the 313 00:16:13,769 --> 00:16:12,010 magnetic lines and the magnetism that's 314 00:16:16,860 --> 00:16:13,779 inherent in the marbles if you watch 315 00:16:19,079 --> 00:16:16,870 carefully now I'm not this not this one 316 00:16:22,259 --> 00:16:19,089 but the one after this as Jeff sails the 317 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:22,269 marble past after he repositions the his 318 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:23,890 ring here with its little tail and 319 00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:26,050 rotated to the horizontal lines on the 320 00:16:30,540 --> 00:16:27,910 on the ball cap behind him watch what 321 00:16:32,870 --> 00:16:30,550 this marble does see a curved upward is 322 00:16:35,009 --> 00:16:32,880 that as the main ache lines of force 323 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:35,019 passed by the others and here's our 324 00:16:38,590 --> 00:16:36,610 unofficial mascot you might say he 325 00:16:42,510 --> 00:16:38,600 flipped out over the side 326 00:16:45,490 --> 00:16:42,520 rat stuff really had it the slinky 327 00:16:47,830 --> 00:16:45,500 without the sag that you have to contend 328 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:47,840 with in 1g behave pretty much the same 329 00:16:51,970 --> 00:16:50,450 as a dozen 1g you can start to see that 330 00:16:53,890 --> 00:16:51,980 of course they've set up a sine wave 331 00:16:55,330 --> 00:16:53,900 oscillation here which continues to be 332 00:16:56,950 --> 00:16:55,340 reflected back and forth and now a 333 00:16:58,690 --> 00:16:56,960 double one or perhaps a triple and 334 00:17:00,280 --> 00:16:58,700 perhaps within there you can also see 335 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:00,290 the standing waves reflected back and 336 00:17:04,210 --> 00:17:02,810 forth the centrifugal force of course 337 00:17:06,460 --> 00:17:04,220 keeps this little car going around its 338 00:17:08,530 --> 00:17:06,470 track on earth when it gets to the top 339 00:17:12,100 --> 00:17:08,540 it would of course fall out in space 340 00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:12,110 what do you expect it's going to do well 341 00:17:21,460 --> 00:17:14,240 with a little help from the doctor sure 342 00:17:23,350 --> 00:17:21,470 enough it falls out see when you've been 343 00:17:24,550 --> 00:17:23,360 in space a little while down is up and 344 00:17:25,060 --> 00:17:24,560 up is down it doesn't make any 345 00:17:29,170 --> 00:17:25,070 difference 346 00:17:31,090 --> 00:17:29,180 it really doesn't mission this complex 347 00:17:33,610 --> 00:17:31,100 requires strict discipline and 348 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:33,620 fortunately we had a well disciplined 349 00:17:37,540 --> 00:17:35,930 crew of course you know you take four 350 00:17:39,310 --> 00:17:37,550 guys off the farm some of them are able 351 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:39,320 to respawn a little quicker and learn a 352 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:50,930 little faster than others we did have a 353 00:17:56,740 --> 00:17:53,330 drill team crack drill trained here that 354 00:17:58,330 --> 00:17:56,750 we practiced every morning so gravity's 355 00:18:01,900 --> 00:17:58,340 got to be fun if you hadn't noticed you 356 00:18:05,190 --> 00:18:01,910 picked up on it but now it's just after 357 00:18:07,810 --> 00:18:05,200 300 hours of spaceflight 358 00:18:09,910 --> 00:18:07,820 you can really learn how to adapt 359 00:18:12,670 --> 00:18:09,920 yourself to zero-g and and and do the 360 00:18:14,410 --> 00:18:12,680 tasks a lot more rapidly than that you 361 00:18:16,330 --> 00:18:14,420 ever could on the ground and and most of 362 00:18:20,020 --> 00:18:16,340 the things like stowing the cabin we're 363 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:20,030 really no problem at all with some 364 00:18:34,270 --> 00:18:32,830 cables develop a mind of their own this 365 00:18:39,370 --> 00:18:34,280 helps you understand why we didn't break 366 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:39,380 the camera bad guys the real difficulty 367 00:18:43,659 --> 00:18:40,490 of this scene was holding the camera 368 00:18:48,010 --> 00:18:43,669 still while he was trying not to giggle 369 00:18:49,539 --> 00:18:48,020 it's Bell in the words of an old 370 00:18:51,940 --> 00:18:49,549 philosopher it ain't over till it's over 371 00:18:54,330 --> 00:18:51,950 and I guarantee it's not over yet as we 372 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:54,340 still have to land and here we are at 373 00:18:59,919 --> 00:18:56,690 runway one-five at the Kennedy Space 374 00:19:01,480 --> 00:18:59,929 Center good calls from the folks in the 375 00:19:03,490 --> 00:19:01,490 air and on the ground John Young weather 376 00:19:06,370 --> 00:19:03,500 pilot the weather was good to the north 377 00:19:09,039 --> 00:19:06,380 so we landed with a slight tailwind and 378 00:19:12,220 --> 00:19:09,049 coming down here at 300 feet they've 379 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:12,230 deployed the landing gear and the 380 00:19:16,659 --> 00:19:13,970 orbiter flew beautifully just as we 381 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:16,669 trained for it to fly in the shuttle 382 00:19:21,730 --> 00:19:20,210 training areas being shed off the 383 00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:21,740 wingtips there and when we touched down 384 00:19:26,470 --> 00:19:24,320 you can see how the smoke from the tires 385 00:19:31,149 --> 00:19:26,480 gets caught up in those vortices real 386 00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:31,159 pretty picture touchdown was at about 387 00:19:37,419 --> 00:19:34,400 190 knots understand about 2700 feet 388 00:19:40,779 --> 00:19:37,429 down the runway and we used a total of
