management is to try the two 16 00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:38,810 opportunities in the KSC tomorrow we 17 00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:41,360 will not have Edward support Edwards 18 00:03:48,130 --> 00:03:43,519 weather looks great for the duration of 19 00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:48,140 the mission right now KSC tomorrow the 20 00:03:53,860 --> 00:03:50,720 forecast is go with a slight chance of 21 00:03:55,449 --> 00:03:53,870 maybe 2,000 broken but we're still 22 00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:55,459 looking at that that's on the first 23 00:04:01,990 --> 00:03:57,920 opportunity on a second opportunity it 24 00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:02,000 looks solid go was about 2,000 scattered 25 00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:05,510 25,000 scattered and five miles is with 26 00:04:09,220 --> 00:04:07,280 there

Nancy Curie good 46 00:05:18,270 --> 00:05:16,180 morning Nancy Nancy the question I have 47 00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:18,280 did you ever look over my shoulder when 48 00:05:26,610 --> 00:05:20,290 we were taking testing top class with ms 49 00:05:28,410 --> 00:05:26,620 Chavez said say about 18 years ago this 50 00:05:29,970 --> 00:05:28,420 is Karis before my favorite teachers 51 00:05:31,710 --> 00:05:29,980 that affect you that my last launch 52 00:05:37,890 --> 00:05:31,720 holding hands with my dad during the 53 00:05:39,210 --> 00:05:37,900 launch of Endeavour two years ago like 54 00:05:43,650 --> 00:05:39,220 to say to all your friends back in 55 00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:43,660 foreign right now well actually spoke to 56 00:05:47,340 --> 00:05:45,280 the hook elementary school in Troy 57 00:05:50,670 --> 00:05:47,350 yesterday and they were the winners of 58 00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:50,680 the Nancy Korea mathematics and science 59 00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:53,290 award for their saw acts experiments the 60 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:54,910 ham radio experiments I got to speak to 61 00:05:58,500 --> 00:05:56,890 about 12 of the kids to answer some of 62 00:05:59,930 --> 00:05:58,510 their questions it was wonderful can't 63 00:06:02,340 --> 00:05:59,940 wait to go home and meet him in person 64 00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:02,350 no Nansen you've been doing the line of 65 00:06:06,330 --> 00:06:04,240 that you've been teaching kids Emmitt 66 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:06,340 Smith and talking to another school 257 67 00:06:09,570 --> 00:06:07,930 Troy that's about whatever I want to 68 00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:09,580 know about the mission about what you're 69 00:06:16,050 --> 00:06:14,080 doing up there I think what I'd like 70 00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:16,060 most people to take away is the 71 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:17,440 important science that we're doing in 72 00:06:20,909 --> 00:06:19,450 addition to the communication satellite 73 00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:20,919 deployment that we did on the first day 74 00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:22,960 so it just demonstrates the versatility 75 00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:24,910 of the space shuttle and all that we can 76 00:06:32,190 --> 00:06:29,830 do in an eight-day mission then you have 77 00:06:41,790 --> 00:06:32,200 an impact with some kind of space debris 78 00:06:46,260 --> 00:06:41,800 or meteorite here we had a chemically go 79 00:06:48,810 --> 00:06:46,270 we had a micrometeorite hit on my side 80 00:06:51,230 --> 00:06:48,820 of the window it's very small in the top 81 00:06:55,020 --> 00:06:51,240 corner and it's warm no consequence 82 00:06:58,020 --> 00:06:55,030 re-entry Santos has been pretty scary 83 00:06:59,940 --> 00:06:58,030 though imagine being no Magister stand 84 00:07:01,290 --> 00:06:59,950 something like that I can't imagine now 85 00:07:04,290 --> 00:07:01,300 an answer this is your second mission 86 00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:04,300 back to you again a better than right 87 00:07:08,219 --> 00:07:06,310 now I guess the car call yourself in a 88 00:07:08,719 --> 00:07:08,229 good learning experience this time that 89 00:07:14,749 --> 00:07:08,729 maybe 90 00:07:16,339 --> 00:07:14,759 experienced before actually my first 91 00:07:18,980 --> 00:07:16,349 visit I didn't have very much window 92 00:07:20,779 --> 00:07:18,990 time because we had a hot module in the 93 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:20,789 back where we had 22 experiments we're 94 00:07:25,610 --> 00:07:23,490 working on those extensively about a 95 00:07:27,409 --> 00:07:25,620 little bit more window time this time 96 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:27,419 not very much so and I'm hoping to catch 97 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:29,610 a little bit tonight before our last but 98 00:07:35,239 --> 00:07:32,490 on fun orbit the window time meaning 99 00:07:36,829 --> 00:07:35,249 that mentioned at the scene at the 100 00:07:40,909 --> 00:07:36,839 windows that ones you're talking that 101 00:07:42,499 --> 00:07:40,919 extended good yeah believe it or not 102 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:42,509 down here on the mystic all we have is a 103 00:07:46,249 --> 00:07:44,490 side hatch window a very small window to 104 00:07:47,719 --> 00:07:46,259 look out and do the attitude of the 105 00:07:49,429 --> 00:07:47,729 orbiter many times to start all that 106 00:07:50,809 --> 00:07:49,439 great of a view because normally we're 107 00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:50,819 flying with the payload bay of the 108 00:07:54,409 --> 00:07:52,710 shuttle down towards the Earth so the 109 00:08:00,769 --> 00:07:54,419 overhead windows on the flight deck give 110 00:08:02,209 --> 00:08:00,779 a tremendous view of the world and what 111 00:08:07,159 --> 00:08:02,219 would your advice be the young people 112 00:08:08,749 --> 00:08:07,169 who may want to become an astronaut I'm 113 00:08:10,610 --> 00:08:08,759 not sure about the role model part i 114 00:08:13,369 --> 00:08:10,620 always look back to my days than try and 115 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:13,379 that the teachers like mrs. status and 116 00:08:17,570 --> 00:08:15,930 my biology and chemistry teachers and 117 00:08:19,579 --> 00:08:17,580 many of those who are again at my launch 118 00:08:21,949 --> 00:08:19,589 I think what teachers take an interest 119 00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:21,959 in a student and encourage them that 120 00:08:26,629 --> 00:08:25,289 that means so much and all I'd say the 121 00:08:28,820 --> 00:08:26,639 students is give it a thousand percent 122 00:08:30,469 --> 00:08:28,830 enjoy what you do no matter what you do 123 00:08:33,290 --> 00:08:30,479 whether it be an artist that architect 124 00:08:39,050 --> 00:08:33,300 or after that the Nancy you never lose 125 00:08:48,079 --> 00:08:39,060 everybody in town class did you so I 126 00:08:50,090 --> 00:08:48,089 can't say that I did Nancy 20th reunion 127 00:08:55,340 --> 00:08:50,100 coming up in two years and going to make 128 00:08:56,900 --> 00:08:55,350 it I understand Lehigh school reunion at 129 00:08:58,670 --> 00:08:56,910 the launch but unfortunately we were 130 00:09:01,309 --> 00:08:58,680 delayed at the last minute did some 131 00:09:06,350 --> 00:09:01,319 damage to our external plank and so many 132 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:09,360 when you come back to the 20th my god 133 00:09:13,380 --> 00:09:11,170 thank you out of you thank you for 134

--> 00:09:39,070 approaching the west coast of Africa 160 143 00:09:43,830 --> 00:09:42,130 miles above the earth commander if you 144 00:09:49,260 --> 00:09:43,840 would could you give us a wrap-up of how 145 00:09:51,060 --> 00:09:49,270 the week has been for you Oh a week in 146 00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:51,070 this mission started with a fantastic 147 00:09:57,540 --> 00:09:54,880 launch we launched almost within a 148 00:10:00,060 --> 00:09:57,550 minute of being on time the asset was 149 00:10:01,380 --> 00:10:00,070 extremely smooth the first day in orbit 150 00:10:03,180 --> 00:10:01,390 was our most challenging and most 151 00:10:04,830 --> 00:10:03,190 rewarding we deployed the primary 152 00:10:06,750 --> 00:10:04,840 objective which was the tracking and 153 00:10:08,850 --> 00:10:06,760 data relay satellite and then we 154 00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:08,860 immediately went into the activation of 155 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:11,110 a series of experiments which are just 156 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:12,850 now completing today and tomorrow and 157 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:14,650 we're looking forward to a smooth entry 158 00:10:20,250 --> 00:10:16,650 and landing tomorrow morning and friday 159 00:10:21,930 --> 00:10:20,260 alright in Florida Mary Ellen we know 160 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:21,940 this is your first time up in space what 161 00:10:32,530 --> 00:10:24,130 is the strongest impression you will 162 00:10:39,980 --> 00:10:37,250 how beautiful the earth is and how agile 163 00:10:43,130 --> 00:10:39,990 it is or at least has fragile it appears 164 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:43,140 we've had a lot of us had a lot of looks 165 00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:46,730 at different parts of the world and 166 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:49,440 seeing the effects that we're having on 167 00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:51,450 the environment and that definitely is 168 00:10:57,110 --> 00:10:55,440 left an impression on me don thomas i 169 00:10:59,300 --> 00:10:57,120 know that in a sense what you're doing 170 00:11:01,820 --> 00:10:59,310 here is living out a dream a reality of 171 00:11:04,220 --> 00:11:01,830 a goal what message do you send to young 172 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:04,230 people back on earth about obtaining the 173 00:11:11,630 --> 00:11:08,610 goals I wanted to be an astronaut since 174 00:11:14,380 --> 00:11:11,640 I was about six years old I watched Alan 175 00:11:16,940 --> 00:11:14,390 Shepard go up in 1961 i made this then 176 00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:16,950 next year i watched john glenn go up 177 00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:19,230 also and those are my role models and 178 00:11:23,450 --> 00:11:21,570 they motivated me to do my best in 179 00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:23,460 school just work hard towards achieving 180 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:25,710 your dream and I that's what I tell kids 181 00:11:29,420 --> 00:11:27,450 today just never give up on your dream 182 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:29,430 keep working towards it if you have a 183 00:11:32,780 --> 00:11:31,050 setback along the way that's alright 184 00:11:36,650 --> 00:11:32,790 just pick up the pieces and move on but 185 00:11:38,330 --> 00:11:36,660 keep trying Kevin up there you've been 186 00:11:42,490 --> 00:11:38,340 in such close contact you think you will 187 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:44,570 I'll tell you what if they're anything 188 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:48,450 like these four here I sure what very 189 00:11:53,420 --> 00:11:50,970 good Nancy earlier in the week we saw 190 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:53,430 some video coming back of lightning from 191 00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:55,530 outer space if you could could you 192 00:12:02,780 --> 00:11:57,570 describe to us what it is like to see 193 00:12:04,250 --> 00:12:02,790 from way up there did you see I said 194 00:12:06,830 --> 00:12:04,260 that I were just looking at that this 195 00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:06,840 morning and last night and and would you 196 00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:08,550 feel lighting so for more but it almost 197 00:12:11,930 --> 00:12:10,110 looks like there's a static electric 198 00:12:13,490 --> 00:12:11,940 charge of setting up in a field so 199 00:12:15,980 --> 00:12:13,500 you'll see it jump from one place to 200 00:12:18,290 --> 00:12:15,990 another and the stark contrast between 201 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:18,300 the blackness that you see and the 202 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:19,890 lighting storms it's just incredible the 203 00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:21,330 other interesting thing is that you can 204 00:12:27,929 --> 00:12:24,420 see fires floating red glow on the 205 00:12:30,029 --> 00:12:27,939 ground during the night at houses 206 00:12:31,739 --> 00:12:30,039 down this is your second time in space 207 00:12:41,260 --> 00:12:31,749 what are some of the luxuries you get 208 00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:43,510 the second time around I got to ride 209 00:12:47,620 --> 00:12:45,470 absence up on the flight deck which I 210 00:12:49,540 --> 00:12:47,630 didn't do on my first mission so I was a 211 00:12:50,980 --> 00:12:49,550 member of the absent team and that was 212 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:50,990 an incredible thrilled to be able to 213 00:12:56,380 --> 00:12:53,450 look out the overhead windows I saw the 214 00:12:57,700 --> 00:12:56,390 main engine starting and I could see 215 00:13:00,100 --> 00:12:57,710 part of the flames when we were getting 216 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:00,110 close to orbit through the overhead 217 00:13:06,220 --> 00:13:01,490 windows and that was just a spectacular 218 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:06,230 view and Commander as you get ready to 219 00:13:09,130 --> 00:13:07,610 return to Earth what are some of the 220 00:13:13,660 --> 00:13:09,140 final things you prepare to close up 221 00:13:15,580

nancy curry and Mary 246 00:14:20,350 --> 00:14:16,750 Ellen Weber they join us this morning 247 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:20,360 good morning everybody can you hear us 248 00:14:25,150 --> 00:14:22,730 good morning welcome welcome to 249 00:14:27,820 --> 00:14:25,160 Discovery well thanks for taking the 250 00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:27,830 time to chat with us yesterday we all 251 00:14:31,990 --> 00:14:29,510 heard about the meteorite that hit the 252 00:14:35,670 --> 00:14:32,000 shuttle obviously so scary moments for 253 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:38,590 actually it occurred when we were asleep 254 00:14:43,660 --> 00:14:41,330 and we didn't notice the impact point 255 00:14:45,580 --> 00:14:43,670 until we looked at that window during a 256 00:14:47,950 --> 00:14:45,590 morning sighting of a target on the 257 00:14:51,540 --> 00:14:47,960 ground and it wasn't as great all to us 258 00:14:54,340 --> 00:14:51,550 it's it looks like a dirty window with a 259 00:14:54,940 --> 00:14:54,350 chip out of it so we don't think there's 260 00:14:57,250 --> 00:14:54,950 any ants 261 00:15:05,440 --> 00:14:57,260 to the vehicle or us and it really was 262 00:15:06,940 --> 00:15:05,450 no impact to the operation here that's 263 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:06,950 good you know your flight as you know 264 00:15:10,750 --> 00:15:08,570 has been dubbed the Buckeye mission for 265 00:15:12,130 --> 00:15:10,760 a viewer from Ohio and I covered Neil 266 00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:12,140 Armstrong's homecoming in wapakoneta 267 00:15:17,290 --> 00:15:14,480 near my hometown also a Nancy Curry's 268 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:17,300 home town of Troy why so many ohioans 269 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:19,850 have been in space I think last count 21 270 00:15:26,860 --> 00:15:25,130 or so what accounts for that well part 271 00:15:29,230 --> 00:15:26,870 of it is what you see in a while behind 272 00:15:32,890 --> 00:15:29,240 us if will spread a little bit i think 273 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:32,900 we give credit to the schools of ohio 274 00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:35,930 they produced more astronauts than any 275 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:38,510 other state in the Union and it was just 276 00:15:43,030 --> 00:15:40,850 coincidence that all four of us were 277 00:15:44,740 --> 00:15:43,040 assigned to this particular flight but 278 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:44,750 what you consider that Ohio does have 279 00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:46,130 the most it was going to happen sooner 280 00:16:02,019 --> 00:15:59,740 you know 26 years ago today man first 281 00:16:04,780 --> 00:16:02,029 walked on the moon that man was a neil 282 00:16:06,519 --> 00:16:04,790 armstrong from wapakoneta this question 283 00:16:08,590 --> 00:16:06,529 goes out to any of the crew members of 284 00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:08,600 what are your thoughts about being up in 285 00:16:16,749 --> 00:16:10,699 space right now on this historic 286 00:16:19,389 --> 00:16:16,759 occasion is ohioans i had the great 287 00:16:21,879 --> 00:16:19,399 fortune of being on SPF 65 last summer 288 00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:21,889 spending the 25th anniversary of bill 289 00:16:25,749 --> 00:16:23,569 armstrong first step on the moon on the
