yo Mirage tinea norm

2
00:01:34,450 --> 00:01:32,290
good morning dance gee it get stuck to

3
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:34,460
you people wake up time again st. my

4
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:38,690
strange yeah who door on and we're on a

5
00:01:49,570 --> 00:01:40,450
string here we also hear you have a

6
00:01:50,590 --> 00:01:49,580
seminal stowaway on board ah yeah we're

7
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:50,600
gonna I guess we're gonna have to

8
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:53,210
confess to it he wasn't on board when we

9
00:02:01,150 --> 00:01:55,490
launched and he's not bored now so he

10
00:02:03,219 --> 00:02:01,160
must be a stowaway shuttle commander

11
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:03,229
hoot Gibson and pilot Charlie Precourt

12
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:05,360
have been involved in final set ups of

13
00:02:08,980 --> 00:02:07,070
equipment aboard atlantis and the

14
00:02:11,470 --> 00:02:08,990
transfer of some logistical hardware

15
00:02:14,830 --> 00:02:11,480
from the mirror into the shuttle which

16
00:02:17,380 --> 00:02:14,840
will be returned to Earth much of that

17
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:17,390
equipment and experimentation was

18
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:19,310
accumulated by the mere 18 crew during

19
00:02:29,210 --> 00:02:20,810
their three and a half months stay

20
00:02:43,110 --> 00:02:33,720

21
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:43,120
meter that's a possible this view from

22
00:02:46,970 --> 00:02:44,590
payload Bay cameras looking up the

23
00:02:50,030 --> 00:02:46,980
Cristal module if you have up there

24
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:50,040
there's two more spot meters on board

25
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:52,450
let me tell you where the stowage is for

26
00:02:57,060 --> 00:02:54,160
three spot meter says we're not sure

27
00:02:59,280 --> 00:02:57,070
which one you were holding one should

28
00:03:02,310 --> 00:02:59,290
have been in a 6 ok we were just

29
00:03:05,210 --> 00:03:02,320
wondering if we had any extras because

30
00:03:11,130 --> 00:03:05,220
the Russians have a spot meter that is

31
00:03:15,230 --> 00:03:11,140
lacking batteries oh now I understand we

32
00:03:17,910 --> 00:03:15,240
have not identified extra batteries yet

33
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:17,920
ok yeah all of us brought mater's our

34
00:03:40,230 --> 00:03:37,860
Atlantis Houston hoot let's delete em

35
00:03:49,260 --> 00:03:40,240
gasps check out we can work that during

36
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:52,030
Jim McKenna Aviation Week for dr.

37
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:54,770
thagard what is the number one problem

38
00:03:59,350 --> 00:03:56,840
or issue that you believe should be

39
00:04:02,290 --> 00:03:59,360
addressed before Shannon lucid arrives

40
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:02,300
at mere next next March as well as with

41
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:10,390
my impression is psychological aspects

42
00:04:16,180 --> 00:04:13,310
party probably loon largest there

43
00:04:18,430 --> 00:04:16,190
doesn't really seem to be big problems

44
00:04:19,870 --> 00:04:18,440
or physiologically I think we still have

45
00:04:22,180 --> 00:04:19,880
to find out what's happening with

46
00:04:24,610 --> 00:04:22,190
mineral mineral loss from bone for

47
00:04:26,410 --> 00:04:24,620
instance and obviously radiation is an

48
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:26,420
ongoing problem as long as you're in

49
00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:29,840
space but I think anybody can do three

50
00:04:34,660 --> 00:04:32,000
months or four months as i'm doing and

51
00:04:36,430 --> 00:04:34,670
six months in my opinion and longer is a

52
00:04:38,530 --> 00:04:36,440
different different matter entirely I

53
00:04:39,790 --> 00:04:38,540
think Shannon won't have any problem but

54
00:04:41,620 --> 00:04:39,800
I think we need to address some things

55
00:04:45,550 --> 00:04:41,630
for the folks who plan to be up here six

56
00:04:48,370 --> 00:04:45,560
months and launder this is Paul Houston

57
00:04:50,740 --> 00:04:48,380
with USA Today for norm thagard sort of

58
00:04:54,010 --> 00:04:50,750
following up on the same question what

59
00:04:56,170 --> 00:04:54,020
about the systems on me roar the setup

60
00:04:58,690 --> 00:04:56,180
or configuration should absolutely not

61
00:05:03,160 --> 00:04:58,700
be done with the International Space

62
00:05:05,470 --> 00:05:03,170
Station if there is anything well from

63
00:05:07,570 --> 00:05:05,480
what I saw it it takes a considerable

64
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:07,580
offers from two folks to keep mir

65
00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:09,890
station operating i think you would want

66
00:05:14,260 --> 00:05:12,110
to minimize the amount of maintenance

67
00:05:16,270 --> 00:05:14,270
ongoing that were required for a new

68
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:16,280
space station I don't think I'd run

69
00:05:21,430 --> 00:05:19,010
conduits both air and electrical through

70
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:21,440
hatches which make it difficult if not

71
00:05:25,570 --> 00:05:22,790
impossible to close those hatches

72
00:05:27,730 --> 00:05:25,580
rapidly if you needed to and lastly I

73
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:27,740
would certainly pay a lot of attention

74
00:05:31,210 --> 00:05:29,330
to sketch because if there were a

75
00:05:34,780 --> 00:05:31,220
problem that we had it was finding

76
00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:34,790
places to store things next to open for

of space of the cosmos where things just

83

tend to fly around by them you know

84
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:14,729
where you leave something somewhere it

85
00:06:22,180 --> 00:06:18,690
kind of floats there and if you try and

86
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:22,190
put something in a particular place it

87
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:27,090
doesn't stay there and the trick is to

88
00:06:32,779 --> 00:06:30,930
learn how to arrange everything for that

Gibson who the mission to date has been

93
00:06:45,980 --> 00:06:43,979
remarkably smooth but like with all

94
00:06:48,740 --> 00:06:45,990
enterprises there's probably room for

95
00:06:51,260 --> 00:06:48,750
improvement what types of lessons have

96
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:51,270
you learned it can be applied to future

97
00:06:59,450 --> 00:06:53,130
shuttle-mir missions or the Assembly of

98
00:07:01,879 --> 00:06:59,460
the space station Todd like you say it

99
00:07:03,830 --> 00:07:01,889
has done pretty smoothly there's an

100
00:07:05,570 --> 00:07:03,840
aspect of it though that you don't see

101
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:05,580
that's that's how hard we're hustling

102
00:07:09,290 --> 00:07:07,770
here on board every day to accomplish

103
00:07:13,010 --> 00:07:09,300
all the things that we need to get done

104
00:07:15,620 --> 00:07:13,020
on a long-duration flight or a space

105
00:07:16,939 --> 00:07:15,630
station flight you're not going to be

106
00:07:19,909 --> 00:07:16,949
able to keep up the kind of pace that

107
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:19,919
we've been keeping up and a lot of it

108
00:07:27,620 --> 00:07:22,110
has been associated with the water

109
00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:27,630
difficult area of transfers of material

110
00:07:32,330 --> 00:07:29,849
from the orbiter to the mayor and from

111
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:32,340
the mirror back to the orbiter both

112
00:07:37,279 --> 00:07:35,610
equipment future test equipment

113
00:07:39,999 --> 00:07:37,289
completed test samples and all those

114
00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:40,009
sorts of things now we expected that

115
00:07:45,439 --> 00:07:42,449
this was going to be a pretty big effort

116
00:07:46,909 --> 00:07:45,449
and there was going to be a lot of a lot

117
00:07:48,379 --> 00:07:46,919
of uncertainty and it was actually going

118
00:07:49,909 --> 00:07:48,389
to be a lot of unknowable they actually

119
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:49,919
got up here and tried to do it and that

120
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:51,330
in fact is kind of what we've bumped

121
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:54,570
into and we've been we've been working a

122
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:56,370
little bit extra a little bit harder to

123
00:08:00,770 --> 00:07:58,370
try and accommodate all of those things

124
00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:00,780
but that's the one area and I think for

125
00:08:06,740 --> 00:08:03,360
the future docking flights the transfer

126
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:06,750
plan the locations the storage all of it

127
00:08:11,940 --> 00:08:09,310
needs to be detailed down to it

128
00:08:13,770 --> 00:08:11,950
for us to really be able to do it

129
00:08:15,210 --> 00:08:13,780
smoothly and efficiently and I think

130
00:08:17,850 --> 00:08:15,220
that's one of the big lessons that we

131
00:08:19,230 --> 00:08:17,860
will have seen out of this way when he's

132
00:08:20,970 --> 00:08:19,240
let me finish by saying that was not

133
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:20,980
unexpected we pretty well knew that that

134
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:22,570
was the kind of situation we were facing

135
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:25,090
when we got up here and and I think

136
00:08:31,140 --> 00:08:27,010
we've adapted to it about as well as you

137
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:31,150
could green brown with GPI 4dr thagard

138
00:08:34,710 --> 00:08:33,130
if you had to do it all again what would

139
00:08:36,570 --> 00:08:34,720
you have done differently or brought

140
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:36,580
with you that you didn't have to prepare

141
00:08:50,670 --> 00:08:48,610
for four months in space i think i would

142
00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:50,680
have paid a lot more attention to the to

143
00:08:58,260 --> 00:08:52,720
the food that was stored for us on board

144
00:09:00,240 --> 00:08:58,270
i think that in general we thought there

145
00:09:02,370 --> 00:09:00,250
is room for improvement there but

146
00:09:04,350 --> 00:09:02,380
otherwise i felt pretty good with what I

147
00:09:06,450 --> 00:09:04,360
already had on board I don't require a

148
00:09:11,190 --> 00:09:06,460
lot i had two good companions and that

149
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:11,200
made up for a lot of efficiencies our

150
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:13,810
lane news day for norm thagard when you

151
00:09:17,970 --> 00:09:16,210
said it psychologically six-month

152
00:09:19,980 --> 00:09:17,980
mission is a different matter entirely

153
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:19,990
what did you mean did you get on each

154
00:09:25,170 --> 00:09:21,370
other's nerves or were you starting to

155
00:09:27,180 --> 00:09:25,180
get on each other's nerves it had

156
00:09:29,370 --> 00:09:27,190
nothing to do with crew relationships

157
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:29,380
though so remain fine throughout in fact

158
00:09:34,670 --> 00:09:30,970
I can honestly say there were never any

159
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:34,680
serious disputes among the crew and

160
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:36,850
probably wouldn't have been even on a

161
00:09:40,860 --> 00:09:38,890
six-month mission for the American envoy

162
00:09:43,620 --> 00:09:40,870
Russian space station you're the only

163
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:43,630
English speaker on board in general the

164
00:09:48,690 --> 00:09:46,690
cultural isolation is extreme there were

165
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:48,700
times when I went 72 hours without

166
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:51,040
speaking to an english-speaking person I

167
00:09:56,220 --> 00:09:54,310
didn't get a lot of news up here all of

168
00:09:58,380 --> 00:09:56,230
those things start to weigh heavily

169
00:09:59,880 --> 00:09:58,390
after a while since on you from the

170
00:10:02,010 --> 00:09:59,890
start I could do anything for three

171
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:02,020
months it wasn't going to be a problem

172
00:10:05,610 --> 00:10:03,850
for me if I've been looking at six

173
00:10:07,140 --> 00:10:05,620
months I would have been really worried

174
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:07,150
at about three months that I wasn't

175
00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:09,850
going to make it their impressions of

176
00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:12,790
the coordination between the ground

177
00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:15,550
control centers and the orbiter and

178
00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:18,190
mirror especially with the science crew

179
00:10:21,610 --> 00:10:20,320
and norm seems to have gotten a bit

180
00:10:24,490 --> 00:10:21,620
testy at times in

181
00:10:26,530 --> 00:10:24,500
last couple of days over things that you

182
00:10:27,790 --> 00:10:26,540
all are being asked to do and there have

183
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:27,800
been concerns that you've been

184
00:10:32,170 --> 00:10:30,290
overbooked could each of the commanders

185
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:32,180
please talk a little bit about your

186
00:10:35,769 --> 00:10:33,529
impressions of that do you feel

187
00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:35,779
overbooked is this and just an it that's

188
00:10:38,890 --> 00:10:37,310
being picked or is this a serious

189
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:38,900
problem that will have to be worked out

190
00:10:48,970 --> 00:10:47,650
this regard to norm standing testy let

191
00:10:51,579 --> 00:10:48,980
me just say that not all this sounds

192
00:10:53,829 --> 00:10:51,589
like that and i don't i don't believe

193
00:10:57,070 --> 00:10:53,839
that norm has been testy or meant to

194
00:11:00,730 --> 00:10:57,080
sound testy doing any of this i have to

195
00:11:03,370 --> 00:11:00,740
give the ground tremendous tremendous

196
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:03,380
grades on on the coordination and the

197
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:06,050
way they put everything together in a

198
00:11:09,820 --> 00:11:08,000
way that things have flowed up here this

199
00:11:14,110 --> 00:11:09,830
is not an easy thing to coordinate the

200
00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:14,120
activities of of mere 18 min 19 and SDS

201
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:19,040
71 and i think that both mission control

202
00:11:23,769 --> 00:11:22,130
centers the soup and houston in my view

203
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:23,779
and from what I've seen have done just a

204
00:11:28,690 --> 00:11:25,760
spectacular job of learning this are all

205
00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:28,700
in making this flow smoothly so that's

206
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:30,560
what i think about the whole thing i

207
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:33,170
would like to hear the russian

208
00:11:43,590 --> 00:11:35,930
translation come up of the question for

209
00:11:51,970 --> 00:11:49,120
really didn't have any concerns such a

210
00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:51,980
question really surprises me because

211
00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:55,360
norm was prepared for all experiments

212
00:12:03,280 --> 00:11:58,490
and he performed them like spectacularly

213
00:12:07,269 --> 00:12:03,290
without any help from us and he didn't

214
00:12:10,660 --> 00:12:07,279
ask for any help from us and he didn't

215
00:12:18,540 --> 00:12:10,670
need our help so there weren't really

216
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:23,500
would like to say to answer someone from

217
00:12:28,390 --> 00:12:26,810
a different angle on this question I've

218
00:12:31,420 --> 00:12:28,400
got a ganar for when we're talking about

219
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:31,430
coordinating the to ground control

220
00:12:38,730 --> 00:12:34,690
centers come in the coordinate

221
00:12:43,740 --> 00:12:38,740
of crews in orbit I think this is a very

222
00:12:48,450 --> 00:12:43,750
important issue and I think that it must

223
00:12:51,210 --> 00:12:48,460
be carefully prepared very very much

224
00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:51,220
like a sports team this sports team

225
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:53,040
spend a lot of time training and in

226
00:12:59,100 --> 00:12:56,170
coordinating an understanding among team

227
00:13:02,610 --> 00:12:59,110
members so that the team members can

228
00:13:06,540 --> 00:13:02,620
play well on the field for example like

229
00:13:09,870 --> 00:13:06,550
the Houston rotten rockets and then you

230
00:13:15,390 --> 00:13:09,880
can achieve very great successes in this

231
00:13:19,260 --> 00:13:15,400
way most everything must be carefully

232
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:19,270
prepared for a flight so that flight

233
00:13:25,770 --> 00:13:20,530
will be a good training ground for

234
00:13:27,420 --> 00:13:25,780
future work this is seth borenstein from

235
00:13:30,180 --> 00:13:27,430
the Orlando Sentinel for a norm thagard

236
00:13:31,950 --> 00:13:30,190
you after spending nearly four months on

237
00:13:34,410 --> 00:13:31,960
mere you're just about to leave it can

238
00:13:35,430 --> 00:13:34,420
tell me what parts of me are you going

239
00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:35,440
to miss and what's going to be going

240
00:13:41,340 --> 00:13:37,870
through your head as as you pull away

241
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:41,350
and watching it the first thing that

242
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:43,570
comes to mind is not too long after the

243
00:13:48,150 --> 00:13:46,570
flight is over the mere 18 crew desert

244
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:48,160
separate ways which means vulajin

245
00:13:52,410 --> 00:13:50,170
Gennady back to Russia while I remain in

246
00:13:54,060 --> 00:13:52,420
the united states that makes me sad of

247
00:13:57,990 --> 00:13:54,070
course because I think we've gotten to

248
00:14:00,540 --> 00:13:58,000
be good friends this may well be

249
00:14:02,370 --> 00:14:00,550
probably is my last space flights off to

250
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:02,380
think about the fact that I won't get to

251
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:04,170
experience this again and that also

252
00:14:10,790 --> 00:14:07,090
whether we're on nurse station or on the

253
00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:10,800
space shuttle I would think about that

254
00:14:15,630 --> 00:14:13,360
this approach and earth news fan atole

255
00:14:17,910 --> 00:14:15,640
you were aboard mir five years ago when

256
00:14:19,140 --> 00:14:17,920
crystal first arrived what was your

257
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:19,150
impression going through the docking

258
00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:21,010
channel especially since he came from a

259
00:14:25,020 --> 00:14:22,480
u.s. shuttle rather than the Soviet

260
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:25,030

withdraw sweep rebel in Americans

266
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:50,580
rather than my style I think that the

267
00:14:56,970 --> 00:14:54,570
docking module docking node is in a good

268
00:15:00,660 --> 00:14:56,980
technical condition although of course

269
00:15:03,780 --> 00:15:00,670
the station itself has been in orbit for

270
00:15:09,540 --> 00:15:03,790
a long time and it should always be kept

271
00:15:13,590 --> 00:15:09,550
in mind that in in space space is a very

272
00:15:16,130 --> 00:15:13,600
aggressive environment and right now

273
00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:16,140
we're testing this this and this

274
00:15:23,460 --> 00:15:18,880
engineering technology over a course of

275
00:15:29,130 --> 00:15:23,470
many years experience opportunities to

276
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:29,140
matheran my impressions of the dynamics

277
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:31,570
of controlling the complex from the

278
00:15:41,310 --> 00:15:37,090
shuttle and then we alternated with

279
00:15:46,170 --> 00:15:41,320
controlling the complex with mere all of

280
00:15:50,610 --> 00:15:46,180
this depended on the docking module and

281
00:15:55,140 --> 00:15:50,620
i think that the structure showed itself

282
00:15:58,710 --> 00:15:55,150
to be a excellent piece of equipment and

283
00:16:00,210 --> 00:15:58,720
we always keep in mind that highly

284
00:16:04,590 --> 00:16:00,220
qualified specialists were engaged in

285
00:16:07,170 --> 00:16:04,600
fabricating it this is James for from

286
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:07,180
WFTV in Orlando for dr. thagard is sort

287
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:08,530
of a follow-up to set born science

288
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:10,810
question what's your concern is you get

289
00:16:15,780 --> 00:16:13,930
ready to land and come back into 1g

290
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:15,790
after being in microgravity so long and

291
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:17,050
what are you going to do once you get

292
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:21,910
back here on earth perhaps the answer

293
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:24,130
that question explains what was

294
00:16:29,250 --> 00:16:26,050
interpreted as being tested you heard

295
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:29,260
the girl I could complain this morning

296
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:32,530
that I'll because of task I was assigned

297
00:16:36,210 --> 00:16:34,330
I've missed my exercise bill I'm

298
00:16:38,579 --> 00:16:36,220
concerned about physical condition when

299
00:16:41,010 --> 00:16:38,589
I get back on the ground the Russians

300
00:16:43,860 --> 00:16:41,020
believe that you need to exercise with

301
00:16:46,650 --> 00:16:43,870
21 hours a day and that that it ought to

302
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:46,660
ramp up in severity toward the end of

303
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:49,510
the flight just before coming home and I

304
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:51,730
concur I think that's important too so

305
00:16:55,710 --> 00:16:53,890
we have to do something and we ought to

306
00:16:58,079 --> 00:16:55,720
do what we can to protect those

307
00:16:59,369 --> 00:16:58,089
sighs foods just before coming home

308
00:17:02,220 --> 00:16:59,379
other than that i'm not sure i've been

309
00:17:04,860 --> 00:17:02,230
so so testy but that that came out of a

310
00:17:06,419 --> 00:17:04,870
real concern about being healthy and

311
00:17:11,399 --> 00:17:06,429
being able to walk and do well

312
00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:11,409
immediately upon return to my reports

313
00:17:19,140 --> 00:17:13,089
have led me here to do you avoid him

314
00:17:25,289 --> 00:17:19,150
question from Moscow Russian commanders

315
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:25,299
I wanted to know about your colleague le

316
00:17:31,140 --> 00:17:28,690
Polyakov that there were there was a

317
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:31,150
female to remember who performed

318
00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:35,230
traditional female tasks such as washing

319
00:17:50,899 --> 00:17:39,520
dishes I wanted to know your opinions on

320
00:18:00,860 --> 00:17:56,149
it's difficult to say such particular

321
00:18:05,210 --> 00:18:00,870
changes there weren't any such changes

322
00:18:07,350 --> 00:18:05,220
the up here on the station we have a

323
00:18:08,580 --> 00:18:07,360
particular way of working in it really

324
00:18:11,009 --> 00:18:08,590
doesn't matter if you're a man or a

325
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:11,019
woman everybody's got their

326
00:18:26,250 --> 00:18:15,730
responsibilities everybody tries to do

327
00:18:29,870 --> 00:18:26,260
them i would say that with all these

328
00:18:40,289 --> 00:18:29,880
people here that it is more interesting

329
00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:40,299
up here cannot yet add anything of

330
00:18:52,139 --> 00:18:42,880
course women are needed and the more the

331
00:18:55,350 --> 00:18:52,149
better first of all we have this

332
00:19:02,580 --> 00:18:55,360
gigantic complex and orbit this is a new

333
00:19:04,169 --> 00:19:02,590
step in the creation of this is

334
00:19:06,659 --> 00:19:04,179
something that seal coughs get one time

335
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:06,669
had dreamed about all of these dreams

336
00:19:13,710 --> 00:19:09,610
have been practically implemented and

337
00:19:20,129 --> 00:19:13,720
are being implemented and of course you

338
00:19:22,590 --> 00:19:20,139
can't do that without women you said I

339
00:19:24,659 --> 00:19:22,600
guess so story I guess we're ready to

340
00:19:26,669 --> 00:19:24,669
proceed we have come to that point in

341
00:19:29,879 --> 00:19:26,679
the mission that I guess all of us have

342
00:19:31,350 --> 00:19:29,889
actually been writing to add some degree

343
00:19:34,350 --> 00:19:31,360
and that's the point where we have to

344
00:19:35,850 --> 00:19:34,360
say farewell to the men 19 crew and I'm

345
00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:35,860
glad we called it farewell and that

346
00:19:41,070 --> 00:19:37,600
goodbye because we are going to see them

347
00:19:42,990 --> 00:19:41,080
very shortly they're going to be going

348
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:43,000
much too long they're going to be gone

349
00:19:48,419 --> 00:19:46,570
60 days but we are all of us I think

350
00:19:52,529 --> 00:19:48,429
looking forward to when we get them back

351
00:19:55,830 --> 00:19:52,539
on earth we have started with the

352
00:19:58,019 --> 00:19:55,840
mission of mere 18 sts 71 and mid

353
00:20:00,690 --> 00:19:58,029
nineteen

354
00:20:04,139 --> 00:20:00,700
is intended to be and what will be a

355
00:20:09,060 --> 00:20:04,149
very long a very long program a very

356
00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:09,070
fruitful program 50s 71 is going to be

357
00:20:16,169 --> 00:20:11,919
drawing to a close here in a very few

358
00:20:20,639 --> 00:20:16,179
days when we return with the crew of

359
00:20:22,379 --> 00:20:20,649
mirror 18 back to the earth however none

360
00:20:25,019 --> 00:20:22,389
of us feel like the mission is really

361
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:25,029
going to be complete until we get not

362
00:20:30,329 --> 00:20:28,330
just our our comrades our compatriots on

363
00:20:33,779 --> 00:20:30,339
Muir 19 but are very good friends from

364
00:20:37,739 --> 00:20:33,789
their 19 back to earth we're hoping to

365
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:37,749
be in Kazakhstan when they come back in

366
00:20:43,469 --> 00:20:40,690
the series so our mission none of us

367
00:20:46,919 --> 00:20:43,479
have felt would be complete until all of

368
00:20:49,950 --> 00:20:46,929
our fellow crew members are back again

369
00:20:53,399 --> 00:20:49,960
to the earth so we're here today to tell

370
00:20:57,079 --> 00:20:53,409
them fair wall and the mission that

371
00:21:00,690 --> 00:20:57,089
we've set out on is a very ambitions our

372
00:21:04,339 --> 00:21:00,700
phase one is a continuation of what we

373
00:21:07,229 --> 00:21:04,349
started with mere 18 min 18 sts 71

374
00:21:10,769 --> 00:21:07,239
international space station will be the

375
00:21:14,489 --> 00:21:10,779
next continuation of what we started and

376
00:21:17,219 --> 00:21:14,499
what we're preparing to say farewell to

377
00:21:19,919 --> 00:21:17,229
just one small part of that farm

378
00:21:24,089 --> 00:21:19,929
continuing overall program so we are

379
00:21:26,369 --> 00:21:24,099
drawing to a close one mission the

380
00:21:29,219 --> 00:21:26,379
preview mission the continuing mission

381
00:21:31,409 --> 00:21:29,229
is a mission of many many years and that

382
00:21:33,539 --> 00:21:31,419
is going to continue on long after we

383
00:21:39,239 --> 00:21:33,549
have landed and long after been 19 has

384
00:21:40,859 --> 00:21:39,249

385
00:21:44,369 --> 00:21:40,869
be very much in our thoughts and in our

386
00:21:48,719 --> 00:21:44,379
hearts we want to leave them with a few

387
00:21:50,789 --> 00:21:48,729
presents to remember us by and so we

388
00:21:55,289 --> 00:21:50,799

they'll be able to think of us we have a

391
00:22:04,739 --> 00:22:01,839
couple of our crew pins so that they can

392
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:04,749
keep us in their thoughts during the

393
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:06,369
next couple of months before they come

394
00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:08,250

395
00:22:22,820 --> 00:22:12,480

00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:54,440

little bit of of a real American

424
00:24:10,630 --> 00:24:09,140
tradition I guess we have a few bags of

425
00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:10,640
tortillas that we'd like to leave with

426
00:24:16,180 --> 00:24:13,760

fresh fruit that we'd like to leave with

428
00:24:29,130 --> 00:24:19,340

450
00:25:51,690 --> 00:25:50,110

452
00:25:58,290 --> 00:25:53,980
