1
00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:41,270
linus houston good morning

2
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:46,230
born in chile that was uh

3
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,840
brass rhythm and reed playing jumping at

4
00:02:03,190 --> 00:01:49,200
the woodside linda should be pretty

5
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:06,069
welcome linda you're going to have a pfc

6
00:02:14,959 --> 00:03:39,430
okay

7
00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:41,350
yeah chilly

8
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:43,040
first of all some big picture words the

9
00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:45,040
mmt

10
00:03:49,190 --> 00:03:47,200
has decided this morning

11
00:03:51,030 --> 00:03:49,200
or this afternoon actually your morning

12
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:51,040
to protect the option

13
00:03:59,350 --> 00:03:56,869
the decision the final decision won't

14
00:04:02,309 --> 00:03:59,360
occur for at least another nine ten

15
00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:02,319
hours that's late in your pre-sleep

16
00:04:05,429 --> 00:04:04,400
so we need to protect that option we

17
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:05,439
realize

18
00:04:41,830 --> 00:04:07,200
how busy you are and how much you have

19
00:04:48,070 --> 00:04:44,390
battery transfer bag

20
00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:48,080
it says stowage bag assembly spectra

21
00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:49,360
and the

22
00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:51,120
it happens also be a serial number zero

23
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:53,520
zero one but it's the sed number four

24
00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:54,880
six one

25
00:06:24,390 --> 00:04:58,240
zero nine seven five four dash seven

26
00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:25,990
okay dave i got the kid let me open it

27
00:06:38,550 --> 00:06:36,790
maybe this uh this might point out a a

28
00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:38,560
shortcoming where we might need to mark

29
00:06:43,029 --> 00:06:41,280
on the kits an up and down uh

30
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:43,039
mission that they come up and down on uh

31
00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:44,880
just a thought that you know can be

32
00:06:49,029 --> 00:06:47,520
erased and refilled in

33
00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:49,039
yeah i think we've run into a glitch

34
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:50,560
here

35
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:53,280
we did have it signed off a few days ago

36
00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:58,230
thanks for checking out hey dave and i

37
00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:00,080
got a couple more questions for you uh

38
00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:02,720
like i mentioned earlier 30 uh empty

39
00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:04,720
food containers are stowed and have

40
00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:06,800
talked to yuri and he said he may have

41
00:07:12,309 --> 00:07:08,639
two or three more and we got plenty of

42
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:16,629
in fact they just brought three over

43
00:07:23,189 --> 00:07:20,230
we're expecting up to 36 chile so uh

44
00:07:26,950 --> 00:07:25,589
okay and then item 47 on u.s science

45
00:07:29,510 --> 00:07:26,960
return

46
00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:29,520
uh cristal target we got the base plate

47
00:07:33,909 --> 00:07:31,520
and the standoff across your message

48
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:33,919
said bolts and washers there are no are

49
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:46,629
okay we'll write that down thanks

50
00:07:51,670 --> 00:07:49,029
one late piece of data now on the hi kit

51
00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:51,680
the new one should say nasa 2

52
00:08:02,070 --> 00:07:59,189
and so

53
00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:02,080
perhaps this is one that is looks brand

54
00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:04,080
new but hasn't been used

55
00:09:02,230 --> 00:08:57,269
atlantis mayor this is houston are you

56
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,590

cbs this is houston please call atlanta

58
00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:10,080
smear for a voice check complicated and

59
00:09:15,030 --> 00:09:12,880
it sounds as if the astronauts are

60
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:15,040

we'll warn our audience there is a

64
00:09:33,430 --> 00:09:32,000
little bit of a delay in our

65
00:09:35,269 --> 00:09:33,440
conversation because of the

66
00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:35,279
communications required let me just get

67
00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:36,959

00:10:02,389 --> 00:10:00,630
it's our pleasure we're glad you're here

78
00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:02,399
commander cheltenham

79
00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:05,040
you and ask you to tell us and our

80
00:10:11,590 --> 00:10:06,800
audience what the significance of the

81
00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:13,110
well there's several uh significant

82
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:15,200
points to our mission uh bringing

83
00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:17,760
shannon up and starting a first

84
00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:19,760
permanent uh presence in space for the

85
00:10:23,590 --> 00:10:21,760
u.s uh space program

86
00:10:25,030 --> 00:10:23,600
is uh certainly one of the big events

87
00:10:26,949 --> 00:10:25,040
that we've done here accomplished on

88
00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:26,959
this mission and it will kind of be the

89
00:10:31,269 --> 00:10:28,800
culmination of that uh event when we

90
00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:31,279
close the hatch today and uh at least

91
00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:33,519
and prepare for our undocking early

92
00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:35,279
tomorrow morning on our day

93
00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:37,120
uh the other uh another big thing we've

94
00:10:41,990 --> 00:10:39,600
done is we've transferred over two tons

95
00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:42,000
of supplies uh water

96
00:10:45,910 --> 00:10:44,640
and uh equipment to uh the mir space

97
00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:45,920
station which is really a first for the

98
00:10:51,269 --> 00:10:48,480
u.s program to bring up that uh larger

99
00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:51,279
quantity of equipment and then the other

100
00:10:55,350 --> 00:10:53,680
great first that we did on this flight

101
00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:55,360
which if i don't mention i'm going to

102
00:10:59,670 --> 00:10:57,519
get poked in the head on either side it

103
00:11:03,269 --> 00:10:59,680
was accomplished by rich and linda here

104
00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:03,279
who made the first uh eba by a u.s team

105
00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:05,040
from the space shuttle while docked to a

106
00:11:10,230 --> 00:11:07,600
space station and this is really

107
00:11:12,310 --> 00:11:10,240
a kind of the beginning or one of the

108
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:12,320
key elements of the construction of that

109
00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:13,760
we need to show that we can do for the

110
00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:15,200
construction of the international space

111
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:16,800
station and they did it with flying

112
00:11:24,949 --> 00:11:23,030
you've all been in space before i

113
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:24,959
believe

114
00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:26,880
except for

115
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:29,600
lieutenant colonel on your franco does

116
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:32,800
it seem the same as in the past or um

117
00:11:41,990 --> 00:11:40,389
let me answer that uh two ways one is uh

118
00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:42,000
commander a franco it might be his first

119
00:11:46,630 --> 00:11:43,440
flight but he's got more days in space

120
00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:47,750
and uh

121
00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:48,880
the uh

122
00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:50,880
the experience changes each time you

123
00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:52,639
come up i've flown with kevin and linda

124
00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:55,120
before on my second flight and it was uh

125
00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:56,480
remarkable it was an earth observing

126
00:11:59,990 --> 00:11:58,480
mission this one had its uh different uh

127
00:12:02,150 --> 00:12:00,000
moments uh joining up with another

128
00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:02,160
spacecraft is just just phenomenal it's

129
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:04,399
something you can't ever forget but the

130
00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:06,320
physical reactions are pretty much the

131
00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:08,160
same each time but the

132
00:12:11,110 --> 00:12:09,680
psychological and the mental factors

133
00:12:13,670 --> 00:12:11,120
that you take back with you the memories

134
00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:13,680
are uh are just cherished

135
00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:15,920
commander chilton it must be kind of

136
00:12:20,389 --> 00:12:18,480
hard to leave shannon lucid behind she's

137
00:12:21,910 --> 00:12:20,399
going to be up there on mir for quite

138
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:21,920
some time i know that this was the

139
00:12:25,990 --> 00:12:23,680
intent and that was what was planned but

140
00:12:29,110 --> 00:12:26,000
just the same it must be kind of hard to

141
00:12:33,350 --> 00:12:31,110
absolutely we're going to miss shannon

142
00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:33,360
both personally certainly in a personal

143
00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:34,639
manner but i'll tell you what as the

144
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,800
commander you know shannon spent the

145
00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:38,880
last 14 months before lunch in russia

146
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:40,720
and she only came back three weeks prior

147
00:12:43,829 --> 00:12:42,480
to the launch of the shuttle so she'd

148
00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:43,839
been completely away from the shuttle

149
00:12:48,389 --> 00:12:46,160
program for a long time and she just fit

150
00:12:50,829 --> 00:12:48,399
in you know just so perfectly with this

151
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:50,839
crew and has contributed so much to the

152
00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:54,000
sts-76 crew mission here on orbit and i

153
00:12:57,509 --> 00:12:55,680
know she's going to do the same thing

154
00:12:58,870 --> 00:12:57,519
for the mir 21 crew which she's now a

155
00:13:00,550 --> 00:12:58,880
member of

156
00:13:01,670 --> 00:13:00,560
and but again i'd like to emphasize i

157
00:13:03,190 --> 00:13:01,680
think everyone's going to feel kind of

158
00:13:04,389 --> 00:13:03,200
sad tomorrow when we when we close the

159
00:13:06,310 --> 00:13:04,399
hatch and say goodbye to our friend

160
00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:06,320
shannon and not only shannon but but

161
00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:08,800
yuri and yuri uh we've these guys are

162
00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:10,480
great fellas and we've all come very

163
00:13:15,190 --> 00:13:12,320
close up here

164
00:13:17,670 --> 00:13:15,200
this will be the first time that uh any

165
00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:17,680
american spacecraft has ever come back

166
00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:20,639
without one of its crew members

167
00:13:25,269 --> 00:13:23,200
you must see this as quite a milestone

168
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:25,279
is it for you like a division between

169
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:26,720
the space program the way it's always

170
00:13:30,550 --> 00:13:28,320
been and what's coming up now with the

171
00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:30,560
space station and a permanent presence

172
00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:34,949
i space you'd normally get in trouble

173
00:13:38,310 --> 00:13:36,800
for coming back one person short but on

174
00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:38,320
this time i think we'll get a pat on the

175
00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:39,120
back

176
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:41,519
um but if someone put it better than i

177
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:43,440
before we launched uh another another

178
00:13:47,350 --> 00:13:44,959
astronaut they came up to me and said do

179
00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:47,360
you realize that for the first time in

180
00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:48,480
the shuttle program you guys are

181
00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:50,320
actually going someplace

182
00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:51,839
uh you're not just going up and down

183
00:13:55,670 --> 00:13:53,120
you're going someplace and you have a

184
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:55,680
place to stop and do something at uh in

185
00:13:59,350 --> 00:13:57,680
the middle of this mission and uh when

186
00:14:01,590 --> 00:13:59,360
you think of in that regard i think this

187
00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:01,600
is a milestone uh

188
00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:03,680
in that it is the beginning of this

189
00:14:08,310 --> 00:14:06,720
permanent presence here and uh and and

190
00:14:10,790 --> 00:14:08,320
we hope to keep this presence that

191
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:10,800
continued on u.s presence in space on

192
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:12,720
through the mere phase one program and

193
00:14:22,870 --> 00:14:14,480
right on into the phase two which is the

194
00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:25,590
nasa managers here are considering

195
00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:27,360
shortening your mission and bringing you

196
00:14:30,790 --> 00:14:29,440
back a little early

197
00:14:32,949 --> 00:14:30,800
i imagine you'd have to be a little bit

198
00:14:36,790 --> 00:14:32,959
disappointed losing a day in space if in

199
00:14:41,269 --> 00:14:39,430
well we've all flown before and

200
00:14:43,030 --> 00:14:41,279
personally you know i'm i'm

201
00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:43,040
anxious to get home and see my family i

202
00:14:46,550 --> 00:14:44,880
always am when i'm away and i think

203
00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:46,560
other people maybe share the same

204
00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:48,800
feeling so now one day earlier is not

205
00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:50,320
that big a thing in the grand scheme and

206
00:14:53,269 --> 00:14:51,920
i'll tell you one person who's not

207
00:14:54,949 --> 00:14:53,279
feeling too bad about us getting back

208
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:54,959
early that's shannon because that just

209
00:14:59,350 --> 00:14:57,440
means it's one extra day in an earlier

210
00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:59,360
occasion that the kennedy space center

211
00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:00,720

00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:03,279
atlantis and as you as you may not know

ground and get working on her and get

216
00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:18,310

278
00:19:00,470 --> 00:18:57,430
of 76.

279
00:19:02,789 --> 00:19:00,480
we've alone for five days and

280
00:19:07,430 --> 00:19:02,799

282
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:12,320

docking module

284
00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:24,470

285
00:19:28,470 --> 00:19:25,840
only through the portholes they'll be

286
00:19:29,510 --> 00:19:28,480
looking at us we'll be looking at them

287
00:19:31,669 --> 00:19:29,520
and then

288
00:19:34,070 --> 00:19:31,679
we'll be in the base block

289
00:19:36,390 --> 00:19:34,080
it'll be sad too

290
00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:36,400

291
00:19:54,789 --> 00:19:52,310

we have managed to come closer together

299
00:20:24,950 --> 00:20:24,149
it would be great if flights like this

300
00:20:30,070 --> 00:20:24,960
could

301
00:20:31,270 --> 00:20:30,080
