could see some of the coast 141 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,749 and i could see some of the coast beaches quite clearly as a white line 142 00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:35,759 beaches quite clearly as a white line 143 00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:38,870 beaches quite clearly as a white line we're about 180 miles up though so uh 144 00:06:38,870 --> 00:06:38,880 we're about 180 miles up though so uh 145 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,309 we're about 180 miles up though so uh it's hard to see and we're moving very 146 00:06:40,309 --> 00:06:40,319 it's hard to see and we're moving very 147 00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:42,390 it's hard to see and we're moving very quickly too we can only had the view for 148 00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:42,400 quickly too we can only had the view for 149 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,830 quickly too we can only had the view for a couple of minutes before it was gone 150 00:06:45,830 --> 00:06:45,840 a couple of minutes before it was gone 151 00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:48,230 a couple of minutes before it was gone with weightlessness in the in the cabin 152 00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:48,240 with weightlessness in the in the cabin 153 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,629 with weightlessness in the in the cabin there how difficult is it to move around 154 00:06:50,629 --> 00:06:50,639 there how difficult is it to move around 155 00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:55,670 there how difficult is it to move around and uh is your boomerang safe 156 00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:55,680 157 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,749 i see my boomerang 158 00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:57,759 i see my boomerang

when i got a little bit older as 291 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,829 and uh when i got a little bit older as the space program started to take shape 292 00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:07,839 the space program started to take shape 293 00:11:07,839 --> 00:11:10,310 the space program started to take shape uh of course uh alex shepard and john 294 00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:10,320 uh of course uh alex shepard and john 295 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,069 uh of course uh alex shepard and john glenn and yuri gagarin 296 00:11:12,069 --> 00:11:12,079 glenn and yuri gagarin 297 00:11:12,079 --> 00:11:14,550 glenn and yuri gagarin when they first went into space uh i saw 298 00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:14,560 when they first went into space uh i saw 299 00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:17,030 when they first went into space uh i saw those uh gentlemen go up 300 00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:17,040 those uh gentlemen go up 301 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,110 those uh gentlemen go up and uh saw the good work that nasa and 302 00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:19,120 and uh saw the good work that nasa and 303 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,870 and uh saw the good work that nasa and the scientists were doing and i was 304 00:11:20,870 --> 00:11:20,880 the scientists were doing and i was 305 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,590 the scientists were doing and i was quite excited by it and uh right then 306 00:11:23,590 --> 00:11:23,600 quite excited by it and uh right then 307 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,069 quite excited by it and uh right then and there i i made the decision uh that 308 00:11:26,069 --> 00:11:26,079 and there i i made the decision uh that 309 00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:27,750 and there i i made the decision uh that i wanted to be an astronaut of course it 310 00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:27,760 i wanted to be an astronaut of course it 311 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,630 i wanted to be an astronaut of course it was until uh 35 or so years later that 312 00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:30,640 was until uh 35 or so years later that 313 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,069 was until uh 35 or so years later that it actually happened 314 00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:34,079 315 00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:35,590 i know that there are a number of 316 00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:35,600 i know that there are a number of 317 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,910 i know that there are a number of important experiments going on could one 318 00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:37,920 important experiments going on could one 319 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,430 important experiments going on could one of you and it makes no difference 320 00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:39,440 of you and it makes no difference 321 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,590 of you and it makes no difference actually who sort of addressed the issue 322 00:11:41,590 --> 00:11:41,600 actually who sort of addressed the issue 323 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,470 actually who sort of addressed the issue of which may be the most important if if 324 00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:44,480 of which may be the most important if if 325 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:53,350 of which may be the most important if if you can in fact prioritize them that way 326 00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:53,360 327 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,829 yeah we have a variety of experiments in 328 00:11:55,829 --> 00:11:55,839 yeah we have a variety of experiments in 329 00:11:55,839 --> 00:11:57,670 yeah we have a variety of experiments in a module

gps attitude and navigation experiment uh 398 00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:16,160 attitude and navigation experiment uh 399 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,910 attitude and navigation experiment uh that experiment uh is using uh the 400 00:13:19,910 --> 00:13:19,920 that experiment uh is using uh the 401 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,310 that experiment uh is using uh the global positioning system constellation 402 00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:22,320 global positioning system constellation 403 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,870 global positioning system constellation of satellites and their information to 404 00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:24,880 of satellites and their information to 405 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,430 of satellites and their information to determine the attitude of the space 406 00:13:27,430 --> 00:13:27,440 determine the attitude of the space 407 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,190 determine the attitude of the space shuttle we have inertial measuring units 408 00:13:29,190 --> 00:13:29,200 shuttle we have inertial measuring units 409 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,110 shuttle we have inertial measuring units which you asked about earlier on board 410 00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:31,120 which you asked about earlier on board 411 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,750 which you asked about earlier on board which would do that normally for us but 412 00:13:33,750 --> 00:13:33,760 which would do that normally for us but 413 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,509 which would do that normally for us but in the future we'd like to be able to 414 00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:35,519 in the future we'd like to be able to 415 00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:37,350 in the future we'd like to be able to use gps 416 00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:37,360 use gps 417 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,990 use gps as a as a replacement or as an addition 418 00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:40,000 as a as a replacement or as an addition 419 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,069 as a as a replacement or as an addition to or as a supplement to those inertial 420 00:13:42,069 --> 00:13:42,079 to or as a supplement to those inertial 421 00:13:42,079 --> 00:13:43,590 to or as a supplement to those inertial measuring units 422 00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:43,600 measuring units 423 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,750 measuring units if the information from this experiment 424 00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:45,760 if the information from this experiment 425 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,269 if the information from this experiment is accurate enough 426 00:13:47,269 --> 00:13:47,279 is accurate enough 427 00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:50,069 is accurate enough then we don't have to carry as many 428 00:13:50,069 --> 00:13:50,079 then we don't have to carry as many 429 00:13:50,079 --> 00:13:53,030 then we don't have to carry as many redundant imus on board we can we can 430 00:13:53,030 --> 00:13:53,040 redundant imus on board we can we can 431 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,430 redundant imus on board we can we can maybe get away with carrying one or two 432 00:13:55,430 --> 00:13:55,440 maybe get away with carrying one or two 433 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,430 maybe get away with carrying one or two instead of the tripoli redundant set 434 00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:57,440 instead of the tripoli redundant set 435 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,189 instead of the tripoli redundant set that we have and use the information 436 00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:59,199 that we have and use the information 437 00:13:59,199 --> 00:14:01,910 that we have and use the information from gps so that translates to a weight 438 00:14:01,910 --> 00:14:01,920 from gps so that translates to a weight 439 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,310 from gps so that translates to a weight savings when you try to get something as 440 00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:04,320 savings when you try to get something as 441 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,710 savings when you try to get something as big as a space station into orbit in 442 00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:06,720 big as a space station into orbit in 443 00:14:06,720 --> 00:15:29,590 big as a space station into orbit in several flights 444 00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:29,600 445 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,680 you
