when emily gets to be eight years 204 00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:17,600 you when emily gets to be eight years 205 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,430 you when emily gets to be eight years old explain what happened on this 206 00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:19,440 old explain what happened on this 207 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,110 old explain what happened on this mission to her 208 00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:25,120 209 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,510 well john i suppose she's probably going 210 00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:27,520 well john i suppose she's probably going 211 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,670 well john i suppose she's probably going to grow up hearing all about it so by 212 00:06:29,670 --> 00:06:29,680 to grow up hearing all about it so by 213 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,110 to grow up hearing all about it so by the time she's eight years old she's 214 00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,120 the time she's eight years old she's 215 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,469 the time she's eight years old she's probably going to be tired of hearing 216 00:06:32,469 --> 00:06:32,479 probably going to be tired of hearing 217 00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:34,550 probably going to be tired of hearing about it but uh 218 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:34,560 about it but uh 219 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,670 about it but uh i guess 220 00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:35,680 i guess 221 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,430 i guess i

which we haven't haven't tried to do i haven't dreamed of 234 00:06:51,749 --> 00:06:51,759 haven't tried to do i haven't dreamed of 235 00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:55,029 haven't tried to do i haven't dreamed of for over 20 years now it's certainly 236 00:06:55,029 --> 00:06:55,039 for over 20 years now it's certainly 237 00:06:55,039 --> 00:06:55,909 for over 20 years now it's certainly been 238

--> 00:07:06,790 take part in in an event like this and uh 248 00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:06,800 uh 249 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,629 uh i'm really proud of the crew that i got 250 00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:08,639 i'm really proud of the crew that i got 251 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:10,150 i'm really proud of the crew that i got to go up with and the folks on the 252 00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:10,160 to go up with and the folks on the 253 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,589 to go up with and the folks on the ground that helped put it all together 254 00:07:11,589 --> 00:07:11,599 ground that helped put it all together 255 00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:13,430 ground that helped put it all together and i guess i'll try and convey all of 256 00:07:13,430 --> 00:07:13,440 and i guess i'll try and convey all of 257 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,469 and i guess i'll try and convey all of that to little emily as she gets bigger 258 00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:16,479 that to little emily as she gets bigger 259 00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:18,870 that to little emily as she gets bigger yeah how tough a job has it been really 260 00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:18,880 yeah how tough a job has it been really 261 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,469 yeah how tough a job has it been really you said it was the piloting challenge 262 00:07:20,469 --> 00:07:20,479 you said it was the piloting challenge 263 00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:22,870 you said it was the piloting challenge of your career tell me how it was during 264 00:07:22,870 --> 00:07:22,880 of your career tell me how it was during 265 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,950 of your career tell me how it was during the docking in in the last few seconds 266 00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:24,960 the docking in in the last few seconds 267 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,350 the docking in in the last few seconds of that and uh and tell me if you had 268 00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:27,360 of that and uh and tell me if you had 269 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,909 of that and uh and tell me if you had time to listen or feel the two ships 270 00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:29,919 time to listen or feel the two ships 271 00:07:29,919 --> 00:07:31,909 time to listen or feel the two ships coming together there's that we i've got 272 00:07:31,909 --> 00:07:31,919 coming together there's that we i've got 273 00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:33,830 coming together there's that we i've got a fax in from a viewer in russia who 274 00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:33,840 a fax in from a viewer in russia who 275 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,670 a fax in from a viewer in russia who wants to know that the sensations that 276 00:07:35,670 --> 00:07:35,680 wants to know that the sensations that 277 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,749 wants to know that the sensations that you felt and heard and sensed as you 278 00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:37,759 you felt and heard and sensed as you 279 00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:41,909 you felt and heard and sensed as you were completing the docking 280 00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:41,919 281 00:07:41,919 --> 00:07:43,990 uh john i'll tell you what we felt from 282 00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:44,000 uh john i'll tell you what we felt from 283 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,670 uh john i'll tell you what we felt from over on the shuttle side and make sure 284 00:07:45,670 --> 00:07:45,680 over on the shuttle side and make sure 285 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,070 over on the shuttle side and make sure you ask the uh the russian crew the mere 286 00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:48,080 you ask the uh the russian crew the mere 287 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,749 you ask the uh the russian crew the mere 18 crew what they felt because i think 288 00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:49,759 18 crew what they felt because i think 289 00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:51,430 18 crew what they felt because i think they noticed more at the actual moment 290 00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:51,440 they noticed more at the actual moment 291 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,469 they noticed more at the actual moment of docking than we did 292 00:07:54,469 --> 00:07:54,479 of docking than we did 293 00:07:54,479 --> 00:07:57,189 of docking than we did the the most demanding part of the of 294 00:07:57,189 --> 00:07:57,199 the the most demanding part of the of 295 00:07:57,199 --> 00:07:59,270 the the most demanding part of the of the whole rendezvous i felt was when we 296 00:07:59,270 --> 00:07:59,280 the whole rendezvous i felt was when we 297 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,990 the whole rendezvous i felt was when we intercepted the the alignment cone that 298 00:08:01,990 --> 00:08:02,000 intercepted the the alignment cone that 299 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,309 intercepted the the alignment cone that we needed to fly up in and stay within 300 00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:04,319 we needed to fly up in and stay within 301 00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:05,990 we needed to fly up in and stay within that alignment cone 302 00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:06,000 that alignment cone 303 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,070 that alignment cone uh there was there was a fair amount of 304 00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:08,080 uh there was there was a fair amount of 305 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,350 uh there was there was a fair amount of maneuvering and a fair amount of 306 00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:09,360 maneuvering and a fair amount of 307 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,909 maneuvering and a fair amount of thrusting that we had to do with the uh 308 00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:11,919 thrusting that we had to do with the uh 309 00:08:11,919 --> 00:08:13,749 thrusting that we had to do with the uh with the orbiter atlantis to get it 310 00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:13,759 with the orbiter atlantis to get it 311 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:16,070 with the orbiter atlantis to get it established and safely within that 312 00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:16,080 established and safely within that 313 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,909 established and safely within that corridor and keep it there 314 00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:17,919 corridor and keep it there 315 00:08:17,919 --> 00:08:20,469 corridor and keep it there uh once we had it there it was a lot 316 00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:20,479 uh once we had it there it was a lot 317 00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:22,629 uh once we had it there it was a lot easier to keep it in the corridor than i 318 00:08:22,629 --> 00:08:22,639 easier to keep it in the corridor than i 319 00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:24,469 easier to keep it in the corridor than i thought it was going to be 320 00:08:24,469 --> 00:08:24,479 thought it was going to be 321 00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:25,909 thought it was going to be and we were able to fly a pretty 322 00:08:25,909 --> 00:08:25,919 and we were able to fly a pretty 323 00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:28,309 and we were able to fly a pretty accurate approach uh all the way up and 324 00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:28,319 accurate approach uh all the way up and 325 00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:30,070 accurate approach uh all the way up and the closer we got 326 00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:30,080 the closer we got 327 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,990 the closer we got uh the more i was able to determine that 328 00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:32,000 uh the more i was able to determine that 329 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,230 uh the more i was able to determine that we were going to be able to fly it very 330 00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:34,240 we were going to be able to fly it very 331 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,509 we were going to be able to fly it very accurately and precisely and so uh 332 00:08:37,509 --> 00:08:37,519 accurately and precisely and so uh 333 00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:39,589 accurately and precisely and so uh and so it went very smoothly from that 334 00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:39,599 and so it went very smoothly from that 335 00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:41,829 and so it went very smoothly from that point on 336 00:08:41,829 --> 00:08:41,839 point on 337 00:08:41,839 --> 00:08:44,470 point on at the actual moment of contact 338 00:08:44,470 --> 00:08:44,480 at the actual moment of contact 339 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,430 at the actual moment of contact we didn't feel the docking mechanism 340 00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:47,440 we didn't feel the docking mechanism 341 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,670 we didn't feel the docking mechanism capture or the actual contact when we 342 00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:49,680 capture or the actual contact when we 343 00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:50,949 capture or the actual contact when we first 344 00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:50,959 first 345 00:08:50,959 --> 00:08:52,710 first contacted the mirror 346 00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:52,720 contacted the mirror 347 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,670 contacted the mirror we fire a number of thrusters for about 348 00:08:55,670 --> 00:08:55,680 we fire a number of thrusters for about 349 00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:57,350 we fire a number of thrusters for about three seconds straight so of course we 350 00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:57,360 three seconds straight so of course we 351 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,870 three seconds straight so of course we heard the thrusters and felt the 352 00:08:58,870 --> 00:08:58,880 heard the thrusters and felt the 353 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,630 heard the thrusters and felt the thrusters firing 354 00:09:00,630 --> 00:09:00,640 thrusters firing 355 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,590 thrusters firing but in terms of actual thump or actual 356 00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:03,600 but in terms of actual thump or actual 357 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,750 but in terms of actual thump or actual contact it was 358 00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:05,760 contact it was 359 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,670 contact it was a little bit of a let 360 00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:07,680 a little bit of a let 361 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:09,509 a little bit of a let the word letdown really doesn't fit here 362 00:09:09,509 --> 00:09:09,519 the word letdown really doesn't fit here 363 00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:12,070 the word letdown really doesn't fit here but uh there wasn't a bang or any kind 364 00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:12,080 but uh there wasn't a bang or any kind 365 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,590 but uh there wasn't a bang or any kind of a clunk that we could hear other than 366 00:09:13,590 --> 00:09:13,600 of a clunk that we could hear other than 367 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,509 of a clunk that we could hear other than the thrusters firing yeah why don't you 368 00:09:15,509 --> 00:09:15,519 the thrusters firing yeah why don't you 369 00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:17,350 the thrusters firing yeah why don't you pass the microphone over to norm and 370 00:09:17,350 --> 00:09:17,360 pass the microphone over to norm and 371 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,790 pass the microphone over to norm and i'll ask him the same thing and then he 372 00:09:18,790 --> 00:09:18,800 i'll ask him the same thing and then he 373 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,269 i'll ask him the same thing and then he can pass the mic to vladimir who was 374 00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:21,279 can pass the mic to vladimir who was 375 00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:23,269 can pass the mic to vladimir who was over there as well norm um it's 376 00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:23,279 over there as well norm um it's 377 00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:24,389 over there as well norm um it's interesting to me we've asked our 378 00:09:24,389 --> 00:09:24,399 interesting to me we've asked our 379 00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:25,990 interesting to me we've asked our viewers around the world to fax in 380 00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:26,000 viewers around the world to fax in 381 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,190 viewers around the world to fax in questions they all want to know what it 382 00:09:27,190 --> 00:09:27,200 questions they all want to know what it 383 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,790 questions they all want to know what it feels like what it smells like a lot 384 00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:28,800 feels like what it smells like a lot 385 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,470 feels like what it smells like a lot more than you know 386 00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:30,480 more than you know 387 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,310 more than you know the scientific things that are going on 388 00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:32,320 the scientific things that are going on 389 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,230 the scientific things that are going on there tell me from your position on 390 00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:34,240 there tell me from your position on 391 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,269 there tell me from your position on board mir uh what it felt like when uh 392 00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:37,279 board mir uh what it felt like when uh 393 00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,509 board mir uh what it felt like when uh when hoot piloted the shuttle into the 394 00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:39,519 when hoot piloted the shuttle into the 395 00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:43,350 when hoot piloted the shuttle into the side of your space station 396 00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:43,360 397 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,350 well i've got some good comparisons i've 398 00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:45,360 well i've got some good comparisons i've 399 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,110 well i've got some good comparisons i've been here when we had a progress 400 00:09:47,110 --> 00:09:47,120 been here when we had a progress 401 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,790 been here when we had a progress resupply ship back and when that 402 00:09:48,790 --> 00:09:48,800 resupply ship back and when that 403 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,389 resupply ship back and when that occurred i was probably a foot away from 404 00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:50,399 occurred i was probably a foot away from 405 00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:52,470 occurred i was probably a foot away from the node where it impacted i felt 406 00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:52,480 the node where it impacted i felt 407 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,070 the node where it impacted i felt nothing i heard nothing 408 00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:54,080 nothing i heard nothing 409 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,070 nothing i heard nothing when the spectre module docked with the 410 00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:56,080 when the spectre module docked with the 411 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,550 when the spectre module docked with the station that's about 20 tons we felt a 412 00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:58,560 station that's about 20 tons we felt a 413 00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:01,030 station that's about 20 tons we felt a very slight vibration but really felt 414 00:10:01,030 --> 00:10:01,040 very slight vibration but really felt 415 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,910 very slight vibration but really felt nothing when the shuttle docked we felt 416 00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:03,920 nothing when the shuttle docked we felt 417 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,269 nothing when the shuttle docked we felt it the 100 tons uh hitting the station 418 00:10:07,269 --> 00:10:07,279 it the 100 tons uh hitting the station 419 00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:09,430 it the 100 tons uh hitting the station had some uh impact on us and it was 420 00:10:09,430 --> 00:10:09,440 had some uh impact on us and it was 421 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,509 had some uh impact on us and it was pretty impressive given the mild uh 422 00:10:11,509 --> 00:10:11,519 pretty impressive given the mild uh 423 00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:13,910 pretty impressive given the mild uh sensations with the previous vehicles 424 00:10:13,910 --> 00:10:13,920 sensations with the previous vehicles 425 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,190 sensations with the previous vehicles yeah okay this is a question for 426 00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:15,200 yeah okay this is a question for 427 00:10:15,200 -->

--> 00:10:25,600 space station with americans before was 437 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,430 space station with americans before was it much different and is was it much 438 00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:27,440 it much different and is was it much 439 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,829 it much different and is was it much different with uh dr norm taggart there 440 00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:29,839 different with uh dr norm taggart there 441 00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:31,590 different with uh dr norm taggart there doing all these sophisticated medical 442 00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:31,600 doing all

00:11:02,240 a 455 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,550 a common language even when we were on 456 00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:04,560 common language even when we were on 457 00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:08,630 common language even when we were on earth so we worked together very well 458 00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:08,640 earth so we worked together very well 459 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,269 earth so we worked together very well and 460 00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:09,279 and 461 00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:11,990 and implemented the program jointly 462 00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:12,000 implemented the program jointly 463 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,230 implemented the program jointly we didn't really feel any difference 464 00:11:14,230 --> 00:11:14,240 we didn't really feel any difference 465 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,910 we didn't really feel any difference that there was an american on board 466 00:11:17,910 --> 00:11:17,920 467 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,509 or you know that he was any other 468

00:11:24,949 so there were never any serious problems 472 00:11:24,949 --> 00:11:24,959 so there were never any serious problems 473 00:11:24,959 --> 00:11:27,590 so there were never any serious problems or misunderstandings 474 00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:27,600 or misunderstandings 475 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,269 or misunderstandings back to north dakota for a minute how 476 00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:29,279 back to north dakota for a minute how 477 00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:31,350 back to north dakota for a minute how much of a problem has it been for you 478 00:11:31,350 --> 00:11:31,360 much of a problem has it been for you 479 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,790 much of a problem has it been for you norm to be weightless for so long and uh 480 00:11:34,790 --> 00:11:34,800 norm to be weightless for so long and uh 481 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,550 norm to be weightless for so long and uh what sorts of things have you done that 482 00:11:36,550 --> 00:11:36,560 what sorts of things have you done that 483 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:37,990 what sorts of things have you done that our viewers might who follow the space 484 00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:38,000 our viewers might who follow the space 485 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,430 our viewers might who follow the space program might not know that you might 486 00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:39,440 program might not know that you might 487 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,030 program might not know that you might have done special this time to 488 00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:41,040 have done special this time to 489 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,630 have done special this time to counteract the effects of weightlessness 490 00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:42,640 counteract the effects of weightlessness 491 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,990 counteract the effects of weightlessness on your body 492 00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:46,000 493 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,230 the russians have had folks up for long 494 00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:48,240 the russians have had folks up for long 495 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,829 the russians have had folks up for long duration space flights so they have a 496 00:11:49,829 --> 00:11:49,839 duration space flights so they have a 497 00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:51,509 duration space flights so they have a number of recommendations and i tried to 498 00:11:51,509 --> 00:11:51,519 number of recommendations and i tried to 499 00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:53,910 number of recommendations and i tried to follow most if not all of them we were 500 00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:53,920 follow most if not all of them we were 501 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,230 follow most if not all of them we were some devices around 502 00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:56,240 some devices around 503 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,910 some devices around our upper thighs that are supposed to 504 00:11:57,910 --> 00:11:57,920 our upper thighs that are supposed to 505 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,430 our upper thighs that are supposed to help with uh 506 00:11:59,430 --> 00:11:59,440 help with uh 507 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,750 help with uh with the problem of fluid redistribution 508 00:12:01,750 --> 00:12:01,760 with the problem of fluid redistribution 509 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,630 with the problem of fluid redistribution after uh return to earth we exercise two 510 00:12:04,630 --> 00:12:04,640 after uh return to earth we exercise two 511 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,590 after uh return to earth we exercise two times a day and i actually for many days 512 00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:07,600 times a day and i actually for many days 513 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,069 times a day and i actually for many days exercised a full hour and that's actual 514 00:12:10,069 --> 00:12:10,079 exercised a full hour and that's actual 515 00:12:10,079 --> 00:12:12,230 exercised a full hour and that's actual time either turning on a bicycle or 516 00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:12,240 time either turning on a bicycle or 517 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,829 time either turning on a bicycle or running on a treadmill or walking on a 518 00:12:13,829 --> 00:12:13,839 running on a treadmill or walking on a 519 00:12:13,839 --> 00:12:15,190 running on a treadmill or walking on a treadmill 520 00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:15,200 treadmill 521 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,590 treadmill and uh in addition to that they also use 522 00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:17,600 and uh in addition to that they also use 523 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,430 and uh in addition to that they also use a device that folks may not be familiar 524 00:12:19,430 --> 00:12:19,440 a device that folks may not be familiar 525 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,870 a device that folks may not be familiar with called a lower body negative 526 00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:20,880 with called a lower body negative 527 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,430 with called a lower body negative pressure device we've used it many times 528 00:12:23,430 --> 00:12:23,440 pressure device we've used it many times 529 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,670 pressure device we've used it many times in the past to evaluate the status of 530 00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:25,680 in the past to evaluate the status of 531 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:27,670 in the past to evaluate the status of the heart and zero g the russians 532 00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:27,680 the heart and zero g the russians 533 00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:29,350 the heart and zero g the russians actually use it for training thinking 534 00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:29,360 actually use it for training thinking 535 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,590 actually use it for training thinking that it helps people with again the 536 00:12:31,590 --> 00:12:31,600 that it helps people with again the 537 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,829 that it helps people with again the problem of orthostatic hypertension 538 00:12:33,829 --> 00:12:33,839 problem of orthostatic hypertension 539 00:12:33,839 --> 00:12:35,670 problem of orthostatic hypertension medical term but in practical terms that 540 00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:35,680 medical term but in practical terms that 541 00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:37,430 medical term but in practical terms that means when you stand up the tendency to 542 00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:37,440 means when you stand up the tendency to 543 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,190 means when you stand up the tendency to feel like you're going to pass out and 544 00:12:39,190 --> 00:12:39,200 feel like you're going to pass out and 545 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,949 feel like you're going to pass out and fall over 546 00:12:40,949 --> 00:12:40,959 fall over 547 00:12:40,959 --> 00:12:43,030 fall over and what that does is you get inside a 548 00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:43,040 and what that does is you get inside a 549 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,870 and what that does is you get inside a device that completely encloses the 550 00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:44,880 device that completely encloses the 551 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,629 device that completely encloses the lower half of your body a differential 552 00:12:46,629 --> 00:12:46,639 lower half of your body a differential 553 00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:48,710 lower half of your body a differential pressure is created and actually sucks 554 00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:48,720 pressure is created and actually sucks 555 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,030 pressure is created and actually sucks the blood into the legs to create the 556 00:12:51,030 --> 00:12:51,040 the blood into the legs to create the 557 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,629 the blood into the legs to create the same sort of distribution of blood and 558 00:12:52,629 --> 00:12:52,639 same sort of distribution of blood and 559 00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:54,870 same sort of distribution of blood and zero g that the normal person would have 560 00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:54,880 zero g that the normal person would have 561 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,110 zero g that the normal person would have standing in 1g i've done all those 562 00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:57,120 standing in 1g i've done all those 563 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,190 standing in 1g i've done all those things and i hope it i hope it helps and 564 00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:59,200 things and i hope it i hope it helps and 565 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,269 things and i hope it i hope it helps and i guess i'll find out in about a week 566 00:13:01,269 --> 00:13:01,279 i guess i'll find out in about a week 567 00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:03,430 i guess i'll find out in about a week yep you expected to be in space about 90 568 00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:03,440 yep you expected to be in space about 90 569 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,870 yep you expected to be in space about 90 days you've been up 570 00:13:04,870 --> 00:13:04,880 days you've been up 571 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,030 days you've been up nearly nearly four months now how much 572 00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:07,040 nearly nearly four months now how much 573 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,870 nearly nearly four months now how much of a hardship has that been for you and 574 00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:08,880 of a hardship has that been for you and 575 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,430 of a hardship has that been for you and for your family on a personal level 576 00:13:13,430 --> 00:13:13,440 577 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,990 i miss my family a lot 578 00:13:15,990 --> 00:13:16,000 i miss my family a lot 579 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,150 i miss my family a lot i've depended on them for support and 580 00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:18,160 i've depended on them for support and 581 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,990 i've depended on them for support and i've gotten it through the years it's 582 00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:20,000 i've gotten it through the years it's 583 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,670 i've gotten it through the years it's tough to be away from home i spent a 584 00:13:21,670 --> 00:13:21,680 tough to be away from home i spent a 585 00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:23,750 tough to be away from home i spent a year in vietnam i guess i spent nearly 586 00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:23,760 year in vietnam i guess i spent nearly 587 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,269 year in vietnam i guess i spent nearly four months here 588 00:13:25,269 --> 00:13:25,279 four months here 589 00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:26,870 four months here it's something that you feel you have to 590 00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:26,880 it's something that you feel you have to 591 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:27,670 it's something that you feel you have to do 592 00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:27,680 do 593 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,269 do but you also realize you're making 594 00:13:29,269 --> 00:13:29,279 but you also realize you're making 595 00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:30,710 but you also realize you're making sacrifices when you do it and they 596 00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:30,720 sacrifices when you do it and they 597 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,350 sacrifices when you do it and they sacrifice too and i feel badly sometimes 598 00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:33,360 sacrifice too and i feel badly sometimes 599 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,470 sacrifice too and i feel badly sometimes that i get to have all this fun so to 600 00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:36,480 that i get to have all this fun so to 601 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,550 that i get to have all this fun so to some extent the sacrifice is worth it 602 00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:38,560 some extent the sacrifice is worth it 603 00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:40,870 some extent the sacrifice is worth it they don't get that benefit well i'm 604 00:13:40,870 --> 00:13:40,880 they don't get that benefit well i'm 605 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,389 they don't get that benefit well i'm going to come home and probably stay 606 00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:42,399 going to come home and probably stay 607 00:13:42,399 --> 00:13:44,550 going to come home and probably stay home a little longer this time and i i 608 00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:44,560 home a little longer this time and i i 609 00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:46,069 home a little longer this time and i i miss them and i look forward to seeing 610 00:13:46,069 --> 00:13:46,079 miss them and i look forward to seeing 611 00:13:46,079 --> 00:13:48,150 miss them and i look forward to seeing them take a couple of cop days why don't 612 00:13:48,150 --> 00:13:48,160 them take a couple of cop days why don't 613 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,430 them take a couple of cop days why don't you do this what i'm going to do at the 614 00:13:49,430 --> 00:13:49,440 you do this what i'm going to do at the 615 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,190 you do this what i'm going to do at the end of this vision as well 616 00:13:51,190 --> 00:13:51,200 end of this vision as well 617 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,350 end of this vision as well this question for nick budaran is the um 618 00:13:53,350 --> 00:13:53,360 this question for nick budaran is the um 619 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,269 this question for nick budaran is the um the rookie in the uh in the atlantic 620 00:13:55,269 --> 00:13:55,279 the rookie in the uh in the atlantic 621 00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:57,430 the rookie in the uh in the atlantic crew you've been there for uh about a 622 00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:57,440 crew you've been there for uh about a 623 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,150 crew you've been there for uh about a week now what do you miss most about the 624 00:14:00,150 --> 00:14:00,160 week now what do you miss most about the 625 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:13,670 week now what do you miss most about the planet earth 626 00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:13,680 627 00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:21,829 um 628 00:14:21,829 --> 00:14:21,839 629 00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:23,430 well tell you the truth i don't have an 630 00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:23,440 well tell you the truth i don't have an 631 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,350 well tell you the truth i don't have an opportunity to miss anything there's a 632 00:14:25,350 --> 00:14:25,360 opportunity to miss anything there's a 633 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,150 opportunity to miss anything there's a lot of work we have a period of changing 634 00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:28,160 lot of work we have a period of changing 635 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,790 lot of work we have a period of changing the guard as it were and a lot of things 636 00:14:30,790 --> 00:14:30,800 the guard as it were and a lot of things 637 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,670 the guard as it were and a lot of things to do after the shuttle leaves 638 00:14:35,670 --> 00:14:35,680 639 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,590 we will immediately 640 00:14:37,590 --> 00:14:37,600 we will immediately 641 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,949 we will immediately prepare 642 00:14:38,949 --> 00:14:38,959 prepare 643 00:14:38,959 --> 00:14:42,629 prepare our spacesuits for an eva 644 00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:42,639 our spacesuits for an eva 645 00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:46,230 our spacesuits for an eva uh in the middle of july 646 00:14:46,230 --> 00:14:46,240 647 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,990 so we're not going to have too much i'm 648 00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:48,000 so we're not going to have too much i'm 649 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,430 so we're not going to have too much i'm not going to have too much time to miss 650 00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:49,440 not going to have too much time to miss 651 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,269 not going to have too much time to miss anything 652 00:14:51,269 --> 00:14:51,279 anything 653 00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:54,150 anything well you must be beautiful from up there 654 00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:54,160 well you must be beautiful from up there 655 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,230 well you must be beautiful from up there we all watched the docking the other day 656 00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:56,240 we all watched the docking the other day 657 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,310 we all watched the docking the other day and it was thrilling to see it went so 658 00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:58,320 and it was thrilling to see it went so 659 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,949 and it was thrilling to see it went so flawlessly commander i am curious you 660 00:15:00,949 --> 00:15:00,959 flawlessly commander i am curious you 661 00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:02,790 flawlessly commander i am curious you had practiced it in simulation so many 662 00:15:02,790 --> 00:15:02,800 had practiced it in simulation so many 663 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,350 had practiced it in simulation so many times how did the real thing compared to 664 00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:05,360 times how did the real thing compared to 665 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,990 times how did the real thing compared to the simulation 666 00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:10,000 667 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,069 that's a real good question the the real 668 00:15:12,069 --> 00:15:12,079 that's a real good question the the real 669 00:15:12,079 --> 00:15:13,430 that's a real good question the the real thing was 670 00:15:13,430 --> 00:15:13,440 thing was 671 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,829 thing was if anything perhaps a little bit easier 672 00:15:15,829 --> 00:15:15,839 if anything perhaps a little bit easier 673 00:15:15,839 --> 00:15:18,870 if anything perhaps a little bit easier than all of the simulations because uh 674 00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:18,880 than all of the simulations because uh 675 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,670 than all of the simulations because uh in all of the simulations we have a 676 00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:21,680 in all of the simulations we have a 677 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,990 in all of the simulations we have a visual system that that displays what 678 00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:24,000 visual system that that displays what 679 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,550 visual system that that displays what the view out the window would look like 680 00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:26,560 the view out the window would look like 681 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,710 the view out the window would look like we have a number of computer systems in 682 00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:28,720 we have a number of computer systems in 683 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,269 we have a number of computer systems in the simulator that have to play together 684 00:15:31,269 --> 00:15:31,279 the simulator that have to play together 685 00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:32,550 the simulator that have to play together and they 686 00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:32,560 and they 687 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,310 and they frequently are how do i put it they're 688 00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:34,320 frequently are how do i put it they're 689 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,269 frequently are how do i put it they're frequently less than perfect and we wind 690 00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:37,279 frequently less than perfect and we wind 691 00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:39,350 frequently less than perfect and we wind up having to extrapolate a little bit 692 00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:39,360 up having to extrapolate a little bit 693 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,030 up having to extrapolate a little bit and assume a little bit when we're doing 694 00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:41,040 and assume a little bit when we're doing 695 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,470 and assume a little bit when we're doing the simulations 696 00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:42,480 the simulations 697 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,550 the simulations in actually flying the flight and 698 00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:44,560 in actually flying the flight and 699 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,470 in actually flying the flight and actually flying with the onboard systems 700 00:15:46,470 --> 00:15:46,480 actually flying with the onboard systems 701 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,750 actually flying with the onboard systems and all of the 702 00:15:47,750 --> 00:15:47,760 and all of the 703 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,749 and all of the the computers working correctly and 704 00:15:49,749 --> 00:15:49,759 the computers working correctly and 705 00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:51,350 the computers working correctly and working properly 706 00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:51,360 working properly 707 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,269 working properly in addition to being able to look 708 00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:53,279 in addition to being able to look 709 00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:55,829 in addition to being able to look outside and see where the station really 710 00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:55,839 outside and see where the station really 711 00:15:55,839 --> 00:15:57,910 outside and see where the station really is see what the view really is telling 712 00:15:57,910 --> 00:15:57,920 is see what the view really is telling 713 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:58,710 is see what the view really is telling us 714 00:15:58,710 --> 00:15:58,720 us 715 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,629 us we have a whole lot better information 716 00:16:00,629 --> 00:16:00,639 we have a whole lot better information 717 00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:03,590 we have a whole lot better information than what we have in the simulator so in 718 00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:03,600 than what we have in the simulator so in 719 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,430 than what we have in the simulator so in in some ways it's easier to do when you 720 00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:05,440 in some ways it's easier to do when you 721 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,189 in some ways it's easier to do when you actually fly it 722 00:16:07,189 --> 00:16:07,199 actually fly it 723 00:16:07,199 --> 00:16:08,389 actually fly it commander if you would pass the 724 00:16:08,389 --> 00:16:08,399 commander if you would pass the 725 00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:10,790 commander if you would pass the microphone to uh norm sagart i would 726 00:16:10,790 --> 00:16:10,800 microphone to uh norm sagart i would 727 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,110 microphone to uh norm sagart i would like to ask the doctor about his 728 00:16:13,110 --> 00:16:13,120 like to ask the doctor about his 729 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,189 like to ask the doctor about his experience in space after so many months 730 00:16:15,189 --> 00:16:15,199 experience in space after so many months 731 00:16:15,199 --> 00:16:16,949 experience in space after so many months three months i understand that there are 732 00:16:16,949 --> 00:16:16,959 three months i understand that there are 733 00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:18,550 three months i understand that there are some physical changes on the body 734 00:16:18,550 --> 00:16:18,560 some physical changes on the body 735 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,790 some physical changes on the body there's concern about what is it anemia 736 00:16:20,790 --> 00:16:20,800 there's concern about what is it anemia 737 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,829 there's concern about what is it anemia and maybe some some weight loss 738 00:16:23,829 --> 00:16:23,839 and maybe some some weight loss 739 00:16:23,839 --> 00:16:25,829 and maybe some some weight loss have you noticed any changes in your 740 00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:25,839 have you noticed any changes in your 741 00:16:25,839 --> 00:16:26,710 have you noticed any changes in your body 742 00:16:26,710 --> 00:16:26,720 body 743 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,110 body during that period of time 744 00:16:31,110 --> 00:16:31,120 745 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,389 you do get 746 00:16:32,389 --> 00:16:32,399 you do get 747 00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:33,990 you do get perhaps what would be considered an 748 00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:34,000 perhaps what would be considered an 749 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,069 perhaps what would be considered an anemia 750 00:16:36,069 --> 00:16:36,079 anemia 751 00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:38,629 anemia i suppose what happens is uh you get 752 00:16:38,629 --> 00:16:38,639 i suppose what happens is uh you get 753 00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:40,069 i suppose what happens is uh you get almost what would amount to a blood 754 00:16:40,069 --> 00:16:40,079 almost what would amount to a blood 755 00:16:40,079 --> 00:16:41,749 almost what would amount to a blood transfusion because all the blood that's 756 00:16:41,749 --> 00:16:41,759 transfusion because all the blood that's 757 00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:43,030 transfusion because all the blood that's normally sequestered in the legs 758 00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:43,040 normally sequestered in the legs 759 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,790 normally sequestered in the legs redistributes to the upper body and i 760 00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:44,800 redistributes to the upper body and i 761 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,550 redistributes to the upper body and i think blood cell production probably 762 00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:46,560 think blood cell production probably 763 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,310 think blood cell production probably shuts down for a while but as soon as 764 00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:48,320 shuts down for a while but as soon as 765 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,230 shuts down for a while but as soon as those blood cells start dying off then 766 00:16:50,230 --> 00:16:50,240 those blood cells start dying off then 767 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,069 those blood cells start dying off then you start producing humans so i doubt 768 00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:52,079 you start producing humans so i doubt 769 00:16:52,079 --> 00:16:53,350 you start producing humans so i doubt that there are really fundamental 770 00:16:53,350 --> 00:16:53,360 that there are really fundamental 771 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,749 that there are really fundamental changes in the blood some question about 772 00:16:55,749 --> 00:16:55,759 changes in the blood some question about 773 00:16:55,759 --> 00:16:57,990 changes in the blood some question about whether there are immuno immunological 774 00:16:57,990 --> 00:16:58,000 whether there are immuno immunological 775 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,990 whether there are immuno immunological changes the white cells at least in the 776 00:16:59,990 --> 00:17:00,000 changes the white cells at least in the 777 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,910 changes the white cells at least in the test tube don't seem to be as active as 778 00:17:01,910 --> 00:17:01,920 test tube don't seem to be as active as 779 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,230 test tube don't seem to be as active as they would be in a person who had not 780 00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:04,240 they would be in a person who had not 781 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,909 they would be in a person who had not gone into zero g 782 00:17:05,909 --> 00:17:05,919 gone into zero g 783 00:17:05,919 --> 00:17:08,390 gone into zero g uh my true crewmates lost no weight in 784 00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:08,400 uh my true crewmates lost no weight in 785 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,470 uh my true crewmates lost no weight in fact uh village and gennady i think it 786 00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:10,480 fact uh village and gennady i think it 787 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,230 fact uh village and gennady i think it first actually may be gained a little i 788 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:12,240 first actually may be gained a little i 789 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,829 first actually may be gained a little i lost a little bit of weight but i bet 790 00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:13,839 lost a little bit of weight but i bet 791 00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:15,590 lost a little bit of weight but i bet i'll put that back on right away after i 792 00:17:15,590 --> 00:17:15,600 i'll put that back on right away after i 793 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,669 i'll put that back on right away after i get back there are changes but none of 794 00:17:17,669 --> 00:17:17,679 get back there are changes but none of 795 00:17:17,679 --> 00:17:19,909 get back there are changes but none of them seem to preclude staying in space 796 00:17:19,909 --> 00:17:19,919 them seem to preclude staying in space 797 00:17:19,919 --> 00:17:21,829 them seem to preclude staying in space for about as long as you would want to 798 00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:21,839 for about as long as you would want to 799 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,669 for about as long as you would want to if there are limitations they may have 800 00:17:23,669 --> 00:17:23,679 if there are limitations they may have 801 00:17:23,679 --> 00:17:26,309 if there are limitations they may have to do with calcium loss from bone and 802 00:17:26,309 --> 00:17:26,319 to do with calcium loss from bone and 803 00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:27,909 to do with calcium loss from bone and obviously the radiation that you 804 00:17:27,909 --> 00:17:27,919 obviously the radiation that you 805 00:17:27,919 --> 00:17:31,270 obviously the radiation that you experience up here over time 806 00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:31,280 807 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,630 dr packard if you would pass the 808 00:17:32,630 --> 00:17:32,640 dr packard if you would pass the 809 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,990 dr packard if you would pass the microphone to 810

appreciated 831 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,390 be appreciated who's running that thing up there right 832 00:17:58,390 --> 00:17:58,400 who's running that thing up there right 833 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,870 who's running that thing up there right now all ten of you were in the mirror 834 00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:02,880 835 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,350 the shuttle is uh actually running it 836 00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:05,360 the shuttle is uh actually running it 837 00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:07,270 the shuttle is uh actually running it and i assume the shuttle's on autopilot 838 00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:07,280 and i assume the shuttle's on autopilot 839 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,549 and i assume the shuttle's on autopilot maintaining the orientation of the 840 00:18:08,549 --> 00:18:08,559 maintaining the orientation of the 841 00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:10,950 maintaining the orientation of the shuttle uh the host complex rather and 842 00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:10,960 shuttle uh the host complex rather and 843 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,470 shuttle uh the host complex rather and it has to do that because the mirror 844 00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:12,480 it has to do that because the mirror 845 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,390 it has to do that because the mirror station depends on its solar batteries 846 00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:14,400 station depends on its solar batteries 847 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,150 station depends on its solar batteries for electrical energy and they have to 848 00:18:16,150 --> 00:18:16,160 for electrical energy and they have to 849 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,230 for electrical energy and they have to point to the sun 850 00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:18,240 point to the sun 851 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,669 point to the sun this is actually what i'd like to hear 852 00:18:19,669 --> 00:18:19,679 this is actually what i'd like to hear 853 00:18:19,679 --> 00:18:21,750 this is actually what i'd like to hear the response from both you dr thangard 854 00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:21,760 the response from both you dr thangard 855 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,390 the response from both you dr thangard and uh your comrade budaran 856 00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:24,400 and uh your comrade budaran 857 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,310 and uh your comrade budaran nasa's budget is facing dramatic cuts 858 00:18:26,310 --> 00:18:26,320 nasa's budget is facing dramatic cuts 859 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,990 nasa's budget is facing dramatic cuts over the next several years we've got 860 00:18:27,990 --> 00:18:28,000 over the next several years we've got 861 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,669 over the next several years we've got some head hunters in congress who want 862 00:18:29,669 --> 00:18:29,679 some head hunters in congress who want 863 00:18:29,679 --> 00:18:32,150 some head hunters in congress who want to kill this mission you're in phase one 864 00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:32,160 to kill this mission you're in phase one 865 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,710 to kill this mission you're in phase one of it russia is politically unstable 866 00:18:34,710 --> 00:18:34,720 of it russia is politically unstable 867 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,669 of it russia is politically unstable anything could happen anytime given all 868 00:18:37,669 --> 00:18:37,679 anything could happen anytime given all 869 00:18:37,679 --> 00:18:38,470 anything could happen anytime given all that 870 00:18:38,470 --> 00:18:38,480 that 871 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,710 that do you all feel that you're fighting the 872 00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:40,720 do you all feel that you're fighting the 873 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,190 do you all feel that you're fighting the odds up there both both you personally 874 00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:43,200 odds up there both both you personally 875 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,430 odds up there both both you personally and what you're trying to do 876 00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:47,440 877 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,110 well just think for a moment what it 878 00:18:49,110 --> 00:18:49,120 well just think for a moment what it 879 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:51,270 well just think for a moment what it took to make all of this happen 880 00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:51,280 took to make all of this happen 881 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,789 took to make all of this happen think of the technology that were 882 00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:52,799 think of the technology that were 883 00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:54,830 think of the technology that were required and remember that a lot of that 884 00:18:54,830 --> 00:18:54,840 required and remember that a lot of that 885 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,830 required and remember that a lot of that technology has other uses on earth and 886 00:18:57,830 --> 00:18:57,840 technology has other uses on earth and 887 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,830 technology has other uses on earth and in fact a lot of what we take is 888 00:18:59,830 --> 00:18:59,840 in fact a lot of what we take is 889 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,310 in fact a lot of what we take is commonplace on earth is directly 890 00:19:02,310 --> 00:19:02,320 commonplace on earth is directly 891 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,990 commonplace on earth is directly attributable to developments that came 892 00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:04,000 attributable to developments that came 893 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,990 attributable to developments that came about through space research the 894 00:19:05,990 --> 00:19:06,000 about through space research the 895 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,830 about through space research the communication satellites we use when you 896 00:19:07,830 --> 00:19:07,840 communication satellites we use when you 897 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,430 communication satellites we use when you pick up a phone to make a long distance 898 00:19:09,430 --> 00:19:09,440 pick up a phone to make a long distance 899 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,990 pick up a phone to make a long distance call that's dependent on satellites that 900 00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:12,000 call that's dependent on satellites that 901 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,909 call that's dependent on satellites that came out of space research 902 00:19:13,909 --> 00:19:13,919 came out of space research 903 00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:15,430 came out of space research the number of 904 00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:15,440 the number of 905 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,350 the number of medical items 906 00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:17,360 medical items 907 00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:19,270 medical items most of them smaller medical items but 908 00:19:19,270 --> 00:19:19,280 most of them smaller medical items but 909 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,029 most of them smaller medical items but nonetheless useful that have been 910 00:19:21,029 --> 00:19:21,039 nonetheless useful that have been 911 00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:22,549 nonetheless useful that have been developed first 912 00:19:22,549 --> 00:19:22,559 developed first 913 00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:24,870 developed first and depend on research and developments 914 00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:24,880 and depend on research and developments 915 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,029 and depend on research and developments that occurred in space research there 916 00:19:27,029 --> 00:19:27,039 that occurred in space research there 917 00:19:27,039 --> 00:19:29,110 that occurred in space research there are a whole long list of things uh but 918 00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:29,120 are a whole long list of things uh but 919 00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:31,110 are a whole long list of things uh but at the last i think it's the spirit of 920 00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:31,120 at the last i think it's the spirit of 921 00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:33,590 at the last i think it's the spirit of human adventure the desire to explore 922 00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:33,600 human adventure the desire to explore 923 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,590 human adventure the desire to explore and you need to move forward or you move 924 00:19:35,590 --> 00:19:35,600 and you need to move forward or you move 925 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,590 and you need to move forward or you move backward you can't stand still this 926 00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:37,600 backward you can't stand still this 927 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,310 backward you can't stand still this program moves forward 928 00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:40,320 program moves forward 929 00:19:40,320 -->
