Atlantis Houston good morning good
morning chilly that was awake the Harpe
by hiding some for ron sega by his
friends at the houston choral society
I'll go downstairs and see if it did the
trick
Julie let's just leave it in Eevee a for
the relay and are you asking if you
should take it back to exclusive Mir at
the end of the relay that's affirm I do
you want me to take it back at 23:30 or
just leave it may be a surely you can
just leave it there and and we'll give
you a real-time call if necessary that's
negativeness son just got it thank you
and for our Dave I'll just hold up the I
do that for you any idea what it size
this job do we see that
so maybe they go about trying to pack
the order yet hold this up to the end we
concur with that run
Harold's operon
okay okay okay okay we'll bring down the
flight deck thank you
affirmative we have video of the flight
deck
in the water kind of amazing Rick that
our excess water we need to get rid of
is exactly what they need it certainly
is a complimentary spacecraft system
perfect example how we can mystically
use our abilities of the two programs
for the two vehicles to get more
accomplished the docking adapter heading
over to the beer Space Station as you
can see throughout it's pretty crowded
in the passageways there most of these
bags are filled with transfer items
storing
the way you always do them in the
airplane you might as well do them here
right a few less G's that we apply of
that Eagle though right
our transit route today on this tour
starts with the docking adaptor and that
on our way to the node we are transiting
through the crystal module the beers
requirements cable that we're going to
see all the way into the base block is
for the bits view that sends audio
through the orbiter system
it's not a great capability that our
shuttle has taking down or the back down
to the earth in applications such as
one of the documents that we use to work
together
all the way down to move along with
three of course Russian equipment but
shattered seat is checked out yesterday
kind of speeded the rate up a little bit
here certainly hope not to use those
Soyuz modules but it's nice to know
there there should it become necessary
opportunity for that the privacy during
the course of their long stays on board
so we're approaching the node here
shortly and then we'll be taking the
pathway back to the Space Shuttle
we always have the right one the way
copy that Rick and we have to use that
thing quite a few more times so let's be
careful with it ODS we're at Chili's
doing some work
it's apparent we're going to take a turn
after the Spacehab as Ron is taking some
transfer items out of the space capsule
into the beer
these items most of these items here are
items that are kept stowed to be
returned on board the shuttle but we
have not yet packed them up for final
stowage
doctor
as well as characterizing the radiation
will be carrying on doing similar work
fundamental biology in life sciences
after will continue and we'll have a US
presence obtaining science on here
during this phase of our joint program
and leading us into the International
Space Station thank you you're catching
today
mr. Houston please go ahead two space
vehicles station and shuttle this is a
wonderful picture these two systems very
good together these two systems fly
together and create such beauty
precursor for the futures alpha station
I'd like to thank everybody who took
participated in this project they did a
great deal of work and have allowed us
to understand each other better and to
work together thank you
and when is the shuttle going to pull
away this is going to be really I'm
looking forward to when you get back to
get a sense from an American what it's
like to be in state so long Russian
friends have been there for more than a
year on single missions and I think this
mission that you have is going to really
help us better understand how to prepare
for the International Space Station and
we're not just interested in the
technical things some of the
psychological impacts of isolation up in
space is pretty important also you know
we learn from Rockets mission and I
really hope when you come back we'll
have a chance to talk to you about your
observations of what it feels like to be
up there but you'll be connected
electronically and I know you have to do
I just want to once again say before the
mission is even complete we'll have
proud I am of you and how pleased I am
that we're working so cooperatively with
our Russian friends and I think the
world is in from a whole new era at the
turn of the century because of what
you're doing today thank you so much and
God bless you all Thank You mr. golden
and God bless you and I want to
congratulate the rest of the crew up
there these guys are really been working
hard and we look forward to seeing you
in a few days
