00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:15,360
end of a winter snowstorm how are you

17
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:17,710
okay Tom and reading you loud and clear

18
00:11:29,340 --> 00:11:27,730
good same here and thank you the crew of

19
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:29,350
the space shuttle Endeavour is nearing

20
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:30,730
the halfway point of its nine-day

21
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:33,010
mission in space the six men blasted off

22
00:11:36,390 --> 00:11:34,450
from Cape Canaveral Thursday morning

23
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:36,400
just yesterday they successfully

24
00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:38,530
recovered a four-ton Japanese satellite

25
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:40,480
and they still have a lot to do

26
00:11:44,670 --> 00:11:42,370
including releasing and retrieving a

27
00:11:46,620 --> 00:11:44,680
u.s. satellite and conducting two

28
00:11:48,540 --> 00:11:46,630
spacewalks before returning to Earth on

29
00:11:49,980 --> 00:11:48,550
the 20th and we're pleased to have them

30
00:11:53,490 --> 00:11:49,990
with us now from aboard the shuttle

31
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:53,500
Endeavour good morning gentlemen good

32
00:12:00,420 --> 00:11:58,680
accepting a piece of space junk you had

33
00:12:02,310 --> 00:12:00,430
to maneuver around the other day how

34
00:12:07,470 --> 00:12:02,320
would you characterize the mission is

35
00:12:09,030 --> 00:12:07,480
going so far well it was just a little

36
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:09,040
surprise for us but it's not something

37
00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:10,210
that's all that unusual

38
00:12:13,860 --> 00:12:12,310
the missions going great and we had a

39
00:12:16,140 --> 00:12:13,870
real big day yesterday

40
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:16,150
big day for you know for us the crew

41
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:18,370
burn answer and furnesto the Japanese

42
00:12:21,780 --> 00:12:20,530
Space Agency as we as we grapple their

43
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:21,790
satellite it was a great thing

44
00:12:25,170 --> 00:12:23,890
yeah it was a good day in fact you

45
00:12:27,690 --> 00:12:25,180
completed your primary mission

46
00:12:30,420 --> 00:12:27,700
I think mr. Walcott are you responsible

47
00:12:33,270 --> 00:12:30,430
for operating the robotic arm that

48
00:12:35,370 --> 00:12:33,280
snatched in your country's satellite can

49
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:35,380
you describe how you felt after you

50
00:12:43,650 --> 00:12:41,650
completed that successfully yes the

51
00:12:47,610 --> 00:12:43,660
other what become of the space shuttle

52
00:12:50,750 --> 00:12:47,620
works are very fine and this successful

53
00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:50,760
retrieval the SFU showed a very good

54
00:12:55,740 --> 00:12:53,950
example of the illumination and the

55
00:12:58,170 --> 00:12:55,750
international cooperation between Japan

56
00:13:01,110 --> 00:12:58,180
and the United States and I'm very happy

57
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:01,120
to be part of this effort

58
00:13:03,869 --> 00:13:02,290
you're gonna go back to your country

59
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:03,879
hero you know how are you going to

60
00:13:14,569 --> 00:13:11,290
handle the success well after this

61
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:14,579
mission since this mission is a very

62
00:13:20,129 --> 00:13:17,050
interesting mission for all of us and

63
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:20,139
this involves the retrieval of satellite

64
00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:22,930
random viewing and extra vehicle

65
00:13:27,629 --> 00:13:25,839
activity and I learned a lot through the

66
00:13:29,009 --> 00:13:27,639
training and through this mission to

67
00:13:31,079 --> 00:13:29,019
prepare for the space station assembly

68
00:13:34,619 --> 00:13:31,089
mission so after this mission I will be

69
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:34,629
ready to be trained for future space

70
00:13:38,489 --> 00:13:36,970
station assembly mission I want to know

71
00:13:47,999 --> 00:13:38,499
how you felt when you were awakened to

72
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:48,009
theme music from the movie Godzilla you

73
00:13:53,790 --> 00:13:51,970
don't have to answer that let me go to

74
00:13:55,619 --> 00:13:53,800
you're the only medical doctor on board

75
00:13:57,449 --> 00:13:55,629
and in addition to your degrees in

76
00:13:59,009 --> 00:13:57,459
engineering what's your specialty on

77
00:14:05,400 --> 00:13:59,019
this mission being both a medical doctor

78
00:14:06,949 --> 00:14:05,410
and an engineer well I'm doing a number

79
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:06,959
of different things on on this flight

80
00:14:12,119 --> 00:14:09,490
tomorrow I'm excited about the

81
00:14:16,049 --> 00:14:12,129
opportunity to go outside and do a

82
00:14:17,850 --> 00:14:16,059
spacewalk in addition to that as you

83
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:17,860
said I'm the medical officer although

84
00:14:21,809 --> 00:14:19,870
that Duty has been very easy since

85
00:14:24,540 --> 00:14:21,819
nobody's had any kind of medical

86
00:14:26,340 --> 00:14:24,550
problems I also am responsible for a

87
00:14:28,259 --> 00:14:26,350
photo TV documentation so I'm taking

88
00:14:30,749 --> 00:14:28,269
pictures like crazy we're hoping to

89
00:14:34,079 --> 00:14:30,759
bring back some absolutely spectacular

90
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:34,089
views of the earth and the satellites

91
00:14:38,610 --> 00:14:36,850
and the DDA's and I'm also responsible

92
00:14:42,389 --> 00:14:38,620
for some of the secondaries that we have

93
00:14:44,819 --> 00:14:42,399
on board including FSB V and some of the

94
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:44,829
mid decks great I hope we get a chance

95
00:14:49,819 --> 00:14:46,569
to look at those pictures I hope some of

96
00:14:54,689 --> 00:14:49,829
them will be shared with us in the media

97
00:14:56,759 --> 00:14:54,699
absolutely good dr. cha your designated

98
00:14:59,639 --> 00:14:56,769
as the prime space Walker what does that

99
00:15:03,629 --> 00:14:59,649
mean you walk twice and what do you hope

100
00:15:05,069 --> 00:15:03,639
to accomplish out there oh that's right

101
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:05,079
I'll be performing through the

102
00:15:09,449 --> 00:15:07,929
spacewalks what it means to be the lead

103
00:15:10,919 --> 00:15:09,459
was that pre-flight for the previous

104
00:15:13,319 --> 00:15:10,929
year I've been following all the issues

105
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:13,329
and developing and getting our timelines

106
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:14,450
getting all the

107
00:15:18,819 --> 00:15:16,730
we're developed for our spacewalks and

108
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:18,829
we'll be going out tomorrow dan and I

109
00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:21,110
will and Western I'll be going out

110
00:15:25,930 --> 00:15:24,110
couple days later the primary objective

111
00:15:27,250 --> 00:15:25,940
or the objective of the spacewalks is

112
00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:27,260
for the International Space Station

113
00:15:33,490 --> 00:15:31,910
we'll be evaluating the design concepts

114
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:33,500
the maintenance concepts and the

115
00:15:38,319 --> 00:15:36,410
assembly concepts to make sure that and

116
00:15:41,319 --> 00:15:38,329
all these data will keep directly back

117
00:15:43,290 --> 00:15:41,329
into the space station program to make

118
00:15:47,079 --> 00:15:43,300
sure that we come up with a design and a

119
00:15:49,870 --> 00:15:47,089
method that will work now you practice

120
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:49,880
these I would imagine quite extensively

121
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:51,889
back on earth probably in another water

122
00:15:55,930 --> 00:15:55,490
tank or something like that that's

123
00:15:58,030 --> 00:15:55,940
correct

124
00:15:59,230 --> 00:15:58,040
three of us have undergone many hours of

125
00:16:01,540 --> 00:15:59,240
training in the weightless environment

126
00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:01,550
training facility which is you know the

127
00:16:05,379 --> 00:16:03,769
big swimming pool where we get in our

128
00:16:06,879 --> 00:16:05,389
suits and get down there and get

129
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:06,889
neutrally buoyant so we can float around

130
00:16:11,319 --> 00:16:08,570
in the water and simulate our tasks

131
00:16:12,670 --> 00:16:11,329
I imagine though doing the real thing is

132
00:16:16,540 --> 00:16:12,680
quite different are you a little bit

133
00:16:17,949 --> 00:16:16,550
nervous about it at all I think you're

134
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:17,959
right it's gonna be quite different but

135
00:16:22,689 --> 00:16:19,970
no I think the wood is excited we're I

136
00:16:24,460 --> 00:16:22,699
think we're all very excited to get

137
00:16:28,210 --> 00:16:24,470
outside tomorrow and then I'll get again

138
00:16:29,650 --> 00:16:28,220
on Monday or Tuesday yeah you'd lose

139
00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:29,660
time up there we lose time here on the

140
00:16:36,490 --> 00:16:32,240
night side too when you're on your

141
00:16:39,819 --> 00:16:36,500
appetite and sleep yeah let me ask you

142
00:16:42,370 --> 00:16:39,829
how takeoff wise on Thursday I think I

143
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:42,380
think you fellas took off in the coldest

144
00:16:47,110 --> 00:16:44,810
weather since since Challenger and the

145
00:16:48,850 --> 00:16:47,120
old wing problem it was about 44 degrees

146
00:16:50,170 --> 00:16:48,860
I understand in Cape Canaveral were you

147
00:16:54,630 --> 00:16:50,180
what you fellows anxious at all about

148
00:16:57,519 --> 00:16:54,640
that I know Tom actually we weren't

149
00:16:59,910 --> 00:16:57,529
we're very aware of the temperature

150
00:17:02,590 --> 00:16:59,920
limits and the procedures that NASA has

151
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:02,600
to launch the space shuttle so we are

152
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:03,890
very comfortable with the temperature

153
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:07,010
the ride itself was actually pretty much

154
00:17:11,049 --> 00:17:09,290
what we expected it's been described to

155
00:17:13,299 --> 00:17:11,059
me several times and they do a pretty

156
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:13,309
good job simulating it the first two

157
00:17:17,829 --> 00:17:16,010
minutes really reminded me of a catapult

158
00:17:20,890 --> 00:17:17,839
shot back in my days flying off aircraft

159
00:17:22,929 --> 00:17:20,900
carrier so rather than a two second cat

160
00:17:25,449 --> 00:17:22,939
shot it was more like a two-minute cat

161
00:17:26,679 --> 00:17:25,459
shot and then once the booster separated

162
00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:26,689
it was a pretty smooth ride all the way

163
00:17:30,020 --> 00:17:27,600
to Meco so

164
00:17:31,549 --> 00:17:30,030
it was real exciting and you know we got

165
00:17:33,380 --> 00:17:31,559
a lot of we saw a lot of the light

166
00:17:46,260 --> 00:17:33,390
coming in through our windows - I heard

167
00:17:46,270 --> 00:17:57,950
okay or on the flight deck now

168
00:18:03,170 --> 00:18:00,590
I don't know what to think I'm going to

169
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:03,180
go and put the oath preheat mode and

170
00:18:49,250 --> 00:18:46,730
and he stood up Rose pre-heat boat is

171
00:20:36,789 --> 00:18:49,260
complete standing by for the air is yes

172
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:44,090
nevermind

173
00:20:50,930 --> 00:20:47,920
that's right yeah further analysis of

174
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:50,940
SFU thermal during different attitudes

175
00:20:59,300 --> 00:20:55,290
here shows us that we may not have any

176
00:21:02,720 --> 00:20:59,310
heater elements failed in engineering

177
00:21:06,170 --> 00:21:02,730
thermal analysis of SFU shows that we

178
00:21:09,260 --> 00:21:06,180
have adequate SFU thermal margin

179
00:21:12,020 --> 00:21:09,270
throughout the entire host deploy in

180
00:21:15,140 --> 00:21:12,030
rendezvous profile currently we are

181
00:21:17,030 --> 00:21:15,150
working toward a deploy with a window

182
00:21:22,190 --> 00:21:17,040
opening per the flight plan in three

183
00:21:25,970 --> 00:21:22,200
days one hour and 51 minutes during

184
00:21:28,490 --> 00:21:25,980
orbit 49 that deploy Rev we will have

185
00:21:32,450 --> 00:21:28,500

00:30:01,590 --> 00:29:02,970
it but we didn't want to pass up the

203
00:30:54,310 --> 00:30:11,910

00:32:52,250 --> 00:32:50,060
of the 34 update it turned out we were

206
00:32:54,470 --> 00:32:52,260
able to see that Delta and it was a

207
00:32:59,240 --> 00:32:54,480
beautiful sight up above the atmosphere

208
00:33:03,410 --> 00:32:59,250
with a long food that is fantastic

209
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:03,420
and maybe at first it was truly

210
00:33:07,220 --> 00:33:05,370
something at the last minute we grabbed

211
00:33:12,500 --> 00:33:07,230

00:33:19,900 --> 00:33:12,510

well is the less than then it's always

215
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:25,980
worthwhile trying even if it seems

216
00:33:32,540 --> 00:33:30,690

217
00:33:34,580 --> 00:33:32,550

219
00:33:39,530 --> 00:33:37,830

of light almost look like the moon

221
00:33:44,150 --> 00:33:41,190
rising and then it stretched out into a

222
00:33:46,340 --> 00:33:44,160
long line then that line faded into a

223
00:33:55,230 --> 00:33:46,350
deep speckled red and then finally faded
