the international space station but 195 00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:48,070 the international space station but overall i felt very good in the suit i 196 00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:48,080 overall i felt very good in the suit i 197 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,149 overall i felt very good in the suit i could have continued to work in the suit 198 00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:50,159 could have continued to work in the suit 199 00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:52,470 could have continued to work in the suit regardless of the uh temperatures so i 200 00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:52,480 regardless of the uh temperatures so i 201 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,149 regardless of the uh temperatures so i would say with we certainly have a good 202 00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:54,159 would say with we certainly have a good 203 00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:56,229 would say with we certainly have a good baseline for which we can 204 00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:56,239 baseline for which we can 205 00:03:56,239 --> 00:03:58,789 baseline for which we can uh going and do our work obviously you 206 00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:58,799 uh going and do our work obviously you 207 00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:00,630 uh going and do our work obviously you always want to look for improvements but 208 00:04:00,630 --> 00:04:00,640 always want to look for improvements but 209 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,149 always want to look for improvements but i think we're to the point where we can 210 00:04:02,149 --> 00:04:02,159 i think we're to the point where we can 211 00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:04,470 i think we're to the point where we can take that suit airborne and begin to 212 00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:04,480 take that suit airborne and begin to 213 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,309 take that suit airborne and begin to construct the station with it it was a 214 00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:06,319 construct the station with it it was a 215 00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:07,830 construct the station with it it was a very successful flight test we learned a 216 00:04:07,830 --> 00:04:07,840 very successful flight test we learned a 217 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,350 very successful flight test we learned a lot it's going to feed right back into 218 00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:09,360 lot it's going to feed right back into 219 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,509 lot it's going to feed right back into the space station and the space station 220 00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:11,519 the space station and the space station 221 00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:14,869 the space station and the space station program and we're ready to go build it 222 00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:14,879 program and we're ready to go build it 223 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:16,550 program and we're ready to go build it endeavour's landing will be the eighth 224 00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:16,560 endeavour's landing will be the eighth 225 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,789 endeavour's landing will be the eighth in darkness in shuttle history but duffy 226 00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:18,799 in darkness in shuttle history but duffy 227 00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:21,509 in darkness in shuttle history but duffy said not to worry i'm looking forward to 228 00:04:21,509 --> 00:04:21,519 said not to worry i'm looking forward to 229 00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:23,189 said not to worry i'm looking forward to the night landing it's something that 230 00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:23,199 the night landing it's something that 231 00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:24,629 the night landing it's something that we've trained for 232 00:04:24,629 --> 00:04:24,639 we've trained for 233 00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:26,230 we've trained for brent and i have been training now for 234 00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:26,240 brent and i have been training now for 235 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,510 brent and i have been training now for the you know the better part of a year 236 00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:27,520 the you know the better part of a year 237 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,390 the you know the better part of a year to do that 238 00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:28,400 to do that 239 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,150 to do that uh we've flown hundreds of approaches at 240 00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:30,160 uh we've flown hundreds of approaches at 241 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,030 uh we've flown hundreds of approaches at night 242 00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:31,040 night 243 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,430 night um i don't think that it'll be all that 244 00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:33,440 um i don't think that it'll be all that 245 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,270 um i don't think that it'll be all that different from uh from a day landing to 246 00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:35,280 different from uh from a day landing to 247 00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:37,270 different from uh from a day landing to tell you the truth that some people that 248 00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:37,280 tell you the truth that some people that 249 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:39,350 tell you the truth that some people that have made knight landings before tell me 250 00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:39,360 have made knight landings before tell me 251 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,469 have made knight landings before tell me that it's actually a little bit easier 252 00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:40,479 that it's actually a little bit easier 253 00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:41,590 that it's actually a little bit easier just because you don't have all the 254 00:04:41,590 --> 00:04:41,600 just because you don't have all the 255 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,469 just because you don't have all the other things in your visual 256 00:04:44,469 --> 00:04:44,479 other things in your visual 257 00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:45,909 other things in your visual current range 258 00:04:45,909 --> 00:04:45,919 current range 259 00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:47,670 current range uh to distract you at all and all you 260 00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:47,680 uh to distract you at all and all you 261 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,590 uh to distract you at all and all you have is the lit runway and the center 262 00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:49,600 have is the lit runway and the center 263 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,030 have is the lit runway and the center line and the light sliding up the 264 00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:51,040 line and the light sliding up the 265 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,030 line and the light sliding up the touchdown zone so very excited about 266 00:04:53,030 --> 00:04:53,040 touchdown zone so very excited about 267 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,310 touchdown zone so very excited about doing it i've been training for it for a 268 00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:54,320 doing it i've been training for it for a 269 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,430 doing it i've been training for it for a long time 270 00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:55,440 long time 271 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,790 long time and i don't think it's going to be 272 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:56,800 and i don't think it's going to be 273 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,790 and i don't think it's going to be particularly difficult 274 00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:58,800 particularly difficult 275 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,790 particularly difficult to learn about the latest preparations 276 00:05:00,790 --> 00:05:00,800 to learn about the latest preparations 277 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,749 to learn about the latest preparations for the conclusion of mission sts 72 we 278 00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:03,759 for the conclusion of mission sts 72 we 279 00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:05,430 for the conclusion of mission sts 72 we talked to mission operations director 280 00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:05,440 talked to mission operations director 281 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,430 talked to mission operations director lee briscoe in mission control earlier 282 00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:07,440 lee briscoe in mission control earlier 283 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,350 lee briscoe in mission control earlier today i asked him if everything was 284 00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:09,360 today i asked him if everything was 285 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,189 today i asked him if everything was

00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,310 landing tomorrow morning the flight's gone very well we're all looking forward 294 00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:18,320 gone very well we're all looking forward 295 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,390 gone very well we're all looking forward to landing at ksc tomorrow 296 00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:20,400 to landing at ksc tomorrow 297 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,230 to landing at ksc tomorrow what about the weather lee are there any 298 00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:22,240 what about the weather lee are there any 299 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,110 what about the weather lee are there any concerns about conditions at ksc or at 300 00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:25,120 concerns about conditions at ksc or at 301 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,270 concerns about conditions at ksc or at edwards for a possible landing there 302 00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:27,280 edwards for a possible landing there 303 00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:28,790 edwards for a possible landing there the weather's looking pretty good there 304 00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:28,800 the weather's looking pretty good there 305 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,390 the weather's looking pretty good there are two frontal systems one on each 306 00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:30,400 are two frontal systems one on each 307 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,909 are two frontal systems one on each coast that we're watching 308 00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:31,919 coast that we're watching 309 00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:33,749 coast that we're watching the one on the east coast at ksc should 310 00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:33,759 the one on the east coast at ksc should 311 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:35,110 the one on the east coast at ksc should clear and that should give us just 312 00:05:35,110 --> 00:05:35,120 clear and that should give us just 313 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,029 clear and that should give us just scattered clouds and wind right down the 314 00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:37,039 scattered clouds and wind right down the 315 00:05:37,039 --> 00:05:39,430 scattered clouds and wind right down the runway so that looks good at edwards the 316 00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:39,440 runway so that looks good at edwards the 317 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,790 runway so that looks good at edwards the other front's out there and there may be 318 00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:40,800 other front's out there and there may be 319 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,029 other front's out there and there may be a bit of a crosswind problem so we'll 320 00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:43,039 a bit of a crosswind problem so we'll 321 00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:44,469 a bit of a crosswind problem so we'll have to watch that but it generally 322 00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:44,479 have to watch that but it generally 323 00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:46,550 have to watch that but it generally looks really good for tomorrow 324 00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:46,560 looks really good for tomorrow 325 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,390 looks really good for tomorrow if for some reason you should have to 326 00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:48,400 if for some reason you should have to 327 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,310 if for some reason you should have to wave off tomorrow morning what are the 328 00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:50,320 wave off tomorrow morning what are the 329 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,990 wave off tomorrow morning what are the next options and how long could 330 00:05:51,990 --> 00:05:52,000 next options and how
