of orbiter operations 57 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,390 in charge of orbiter operations obviously sounds like a pretty important 58 00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:52,400 obviously sounds like a pretty important 59 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,470 obviously sounds like a pretty important job keeping folks rolling around the 60 00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:54,480 job keeping folks rolling around the 61 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,509 job keeping folks rolling around the earth there what are your 62 00:03:55,509 --> 00:03:55,519 earth there what are your 63 00:03:55,519 --> 00:03:57,190 earth there what are your responsibilities on board the space 64 00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:57,200 responsibilities on board the space 65 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,390 responsibilities on board the space shuttle columbia 66 00:04:00,390 --> 00:04:00,400 shuttle columbia 67 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,750 shuttle columbia well let me explain a little bit about 68 00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:01,760 well let me explain a little bit about 69 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,070 well let me explain a little bit about the way we're divided up on the crew we 70 00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:04,080 the way we're divided up on the crew we 71 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,509 the way we're divided up on the crew we have seven people 72 00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:05,519 have seven people 73 00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:07,910 have seven people uh also a lucky number and uh we're 74 00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:07,920 uh also a lucky number and uh we're 75 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,910 uh also a lucky number and uh we're divided into two shifts a red shift and 76 00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:09,920 divided into two shifts a red shift and 77 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,229 divided into two shifts a red shift and a blue shift on each of those shifts we 78 00:04:12,229 --> 00:04:12,239 a blue shift on each of those shifts we 79 00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:14,470 a blue shift on each of those shifts we have an orbiter 80 00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:14,480 have an orbiter 81 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,789 have an orbiter an orbiter crew and a payload crew and 82 00:04:16,789 --> 00:04:16,799 an orbiter crew and a payload crew and 83 00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:19,189 an orbiter crew and a payload crew and on my shift which is a blue shift i am 84 00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:19,199 on my shift which is a blue shift i am 85 00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:20,870 on my shift which is a blue shift i am the orbiter crewman and we have two 86 00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:20,880 the orbiter crewman and we have two 87 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,510 the orbiter crewman and we have two payload crewmen i'm uh floating back 88 00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:23,520 payload crewmen i'm uh floating back 89 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,909 payload crewmen i'm uh floating back here in the space lab module which is 90 00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:25,919 here in the space lab module which is 91 00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:28,390 here in the space lab module which is where the payload crewmen conduct most 92 00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:28,400 where the payload crewmen conduct most 93 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,550 where the payload crewmen conduct most of the science on the flight 94 00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:30,560 of the science on the flight 95 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,230 of the science on the flight while they're doing that somebody has to 96 00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:32,240 while they're doing that somebody has to 97 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,150 while they're doing that somebody has to sort of mine the store up front and 98 00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:34,160 sort of mine the store up front and 99 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,070 sort of mine the store up front and that's my job and the other two orbiter 100 00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:36,080 that's my job and the other two orbiter 101 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,909 that's my job and the other two orbiter crewmen on the redshift commander ken 102 00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:37,919 crewmen on the redshift commander ken 103 00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:40,550 crewmen on the redshift commander ken bowersox and pilot ken rominger so 104 00:04:40,550 --> 00:04:40,560 bowersox and pilot ken rominger so 105 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,469 bowersox and pilot ken rominger so basically while they're back here doing 106 00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:42,479 basically while they're back here doing 107 00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:44,790 basically while they're back here doing all the hard work we're up there sort of 108 00:04:44,790 --> 00:04:44,800 all the hard work we're up there sort of 109 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,790 all the hard work we're up there sort of navigating uh taking care of the orbiter 110 00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:46,800 navigating uh taking care of the orbiter 111 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,310 navigating uh taking care of the orbiter systems and doing a whole lot of looking 112 00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:48,320 systems and doing a whole lot of looking 113 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,670 systems and doing a whole lot of looking out the windows 114 00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:49,680 out the windows 115 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,590 out the windows when do you sleep 116 00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:53,600 117 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,070 uh in another part of the orbiter just 118 00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:56,080 uh in another part of the orbiter just 119 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,590 uh in another part of the orbiter just under the cockpit we have what we call 120 00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:57,600 under the cockpit we have what we call 121 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,310 under the cockpit we have what we call the mid deck and there are four sleep 122 00:05:00,310 --> 00:05:00,320 the mid deck and there are four sleep 123 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,670 the mid deck and there are four sleep bunks in there 124 00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:01,680 bunks in there 125 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,749 bunks in there so only four a maximum of four people 126 00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:03,759 so only four a maximum of four people 127 00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:05,189 so only four a maximum of four people have to sleep at a time and that's where 128 00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:05,199 have to sleep at a time and that's where 129 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:07,749 have to sleep at a time and that's where we sleep they sort of look like uh 130 00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:07,759 we sleep they sort of look like uh 131 00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:09,110 we sleep they sort of look like uh actually a little bit like coffins they 132 00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:09,120 actually a little bit like coffins they 133 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,469 actually a little bit like coffins they have a sliding door 134 00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:10,479 have a sliding door 135 00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:12,230 have a sliding door which keeps out the noise and the and 136 00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:12,240 which keeps out the noise and the and 137 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,070 which keeps out the noise and the and the light pretty well so it's not too 138 00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:14,080 the light pretty well so it's not too 139 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:14,870 the light pretty well so it's not too bad 140 00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:14,880 bad 141 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,550 bad i have to ask you too what do you see 142 00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:16,560 i have to ask you too what do you see 143 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,710 i have to ask you too what do you see when you're looking out the windows 144 00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:20,720 145 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,270 well it's the most incredible view 146 00:05:23,270 --> 00:05:23,280 well it's the most incredible view 147 00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:25,350 well it's the most incredible view i can imagine i've 148 00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:25,360 i can imagine i've 149 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,029 i can imagine i've i don't know how many of you seen these 150 00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:27,039 i don't know how many of you seen these 151 00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:29,110 i don't know how many of you seen these imax movies on the really big screens 152 00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:29,120 imax movies on the really big screens 153 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,110 imax movies on the really big screens and those do a pretty good job 154 00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:31,120 and those do a pretty good job 155 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,790 and those do a pretty good job but when you get up here it's at least 156 00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:32,800 but when you get up here it's at least 157 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,710 but when you get up here it's at least 10 000 times better it's really 158 00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:34,720 10 000 times better it's really 159 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,790 10 000 times better it's really breathtaking it's fantastic 160 00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:36,800 breathtaking it's fantastic 161 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,990 breathtaking it's fantastic tell us a little bit about the 162 00:05:37,990 --> 00:05:38,000 tell us a little bit about the 163 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,150 tell us a little bit about the experiments that we know will be 164 00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:40,160 experiments that we know will be 165 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,110 experiments that we know will be useful in space station missions and 166 00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:43,120 useful in space station missions and 167 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,670 useful in space station missions and also for medicinal purposes can you tell 168 00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:45,680 also for medicinal purposes can you tell 169 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,189 also for medicinal purposes can you tell us a little bit about those the oil and 170 00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:47,199 us a little bit about those the oil and 171 00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:52,230 us a little bit about those the oil and water experiments and food experiments 172 00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:52,240 173 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,830 i can tell you a little bit about that 174 00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:53,840 i can tell you a little bit about that 175 00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:55,830 i can tell you a little bit about that uh let me just give a couple of examples 176 00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:55,840 uh let me just give a couple of examples 177 00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:57,590 uh let me just give a couple of examples we have one experiment called zeolite 178 00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:57,600 we have one experiment called zeolite 179 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,510 we have one experiment called zeolite crystal growth which uh 180 00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:59,520 crystal growth which uh 181 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,830 crystal growth which uh is a an experiment to be able to try to 182 00:06:01,830 --> 00:06:01,840 is a an experiment to be able to try to 183 00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:03,909 is a an experiment to be able to try to grow better zeolite crystals zeolites 184 00:06:03,909 --> 00:06:03,919 grow better zeolite crystals zeolites 185 00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:05,909 grow better zeolite crystals zeolites are used a lot on earth for uh such 186 00:06:05,909 --> 00:06:05,919 are used a lot on earth for uh such 187 00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:09,510 are used a lot on earth for uh such things as chemical sieves and especially 188 00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:09,520 things as chemical sieves and especially 189 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,830 things as chemical sieves and especially used in the petroleum industry to do uh 190 00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:11,840 used in the petroleum industry to do uh 191 00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,909 used in the petroleum industry to do uh refining of petroleum so if we can 192 00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:13,919 refining of petroleum so if we can 193 00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:15,990 refining of petroleum so if we can develop a better more perfect crystal 194 00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:16,000 develop a better more perfect crystal 195 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,990 develop a better more perfect crystal and understand how those properties uh 196 00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:18,000 and understand how those properties uh 197 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,309 and understand how those properties uh work we can actually gain a lot of 198 00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:20,319 work we can actually gain a lot of 199 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:22,390 work we can actually gain a lot of benefits in that regard 200 00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:22,400 benefits in that regard 201 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,990 benefits in that regard secondly another kind of crystal that 202 00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:24,000 secondly another kind of crystal that 203 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,590 secondly another kind of crystal that we're growing in space is a protein 204 00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:25,600 we're growing in space is a protein 205 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,870 we're growing in space is a protein crystal 206 00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:26,880 crystal 207 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,390 crystal when the pharmaceutical companies 208 00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:28,400 when the pharmaceutical companies 209 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,029 when the pharmaceutical companies manufacture drugs to combat infections 210 00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:31,039 manufacture drugs to combat infections 211 00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:32,390 manufacture drugs to combat infections or ailments 212 00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:32,400 or ailments 213 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,550 or ailments they need to know as well as they can to 214 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:34,560 they need to know as well as they can to 215 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,309 they need to know as well as they can to put the structure of these protein 216 00:06:36,309 --> 00:06:36,319 put the structure of these protein 217 00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:38,790 put the structure of these protein crystals so they can design the um 218 00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:38,800 crystals so they can design the um 219 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,870 crystals so they can design the um the drugs to fit into these sort of 220 00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:40,880 the drugs to fit into these sort of 221 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,270 the drugs to fit into these sort of nooks and crannies and in space in the 222 00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:43,280 nooks and crannies and in space in the 223 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:44,950 nooks and crannies and in space in the absence of gravity we can grow these 224 00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:44,960 absence of gravity we can grow these 225 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,950 absence of gravity we can grow these crystals in a much more perfect sense 226 00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:46,960 crystals in a much more perfect sense 227 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,189 crystals in a much more perfect sense that we can on earth so hopefully we'll 228 00:06:49,189 --> 00:06:49,199 that we can on earth so hopefully we'll 229 00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:51,590 that we can on earth so hopefully we'll be able to use these to uh put put them 230 00:06:51,590 --> 00:06:51,600 be able to use these to uh put put them 231 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,230 be able to use these to uh put put them to good use with the medical community 232 00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:54,240 to good use with the medical community 233 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,070 to good use with the medical community i understand that you're divided into 234 00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:56,080 i understand that you're divided into 235 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,629 i understand that you're divided into teams a red team and a blue team explain 236 00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:58,639 teams a red team and a blue team explain 237 00:06:58,639 --> 00:06:59,909 teams a red team and a blue team explain to us 238 00:06:59,909 --> 00:06:59,919 to us 239 00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:05,270 to us what exactly the significance of that is 240 00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:05,280 241 00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:06,469 well there's no significance to the 242 00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:06,479 well there's no significance to the 243 00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:08,710 well there's no significance to the colors of course it's just a way of 244 00:07:08,710 --> 00:07:08,720 colors of course it's just a way of 245 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,110 colors of course it's just a way of calling ourselves one thing or the other 246 00:07:11,110 --> 00:07:11,120 calling ourselves one thing or the other 247 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,029 calling ourselves one thing or the other but we just divide into two teams to be 248 00:07:13,029 --> 00:07:13,039 but we just divide into two teams to be 249 00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:14,710 but we just divide into two teams to be able to work around the clock basically 250 00:07:14,710 --> 00:07:14,720 able to work around the clock basically 251 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,469 able to work around the clock basically so while the blue team is awake the red 252 00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:16,479 so while the blue team is awake the red 253 00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:19,029 so while the blue team is awake the red team is asleep and vice versa we do have 254 00:07:19,029 --> 00:07:19,039 team is asleep and vice versa we do have 255 00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:21,189 team is asleep and vice versa we do have about a four hour period at the end of 256 00:07:21,189 --> 00:07:21,199 about a four hour period at the end of 257 00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:23,350 about a four hour period at the end of uh and beginning of each day 258 00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:23,360 uh and beginning of each day 259 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,110 uh and beginning of each day where we're both awake but the 260 00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:25,120 where we're both awake but the 261 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,390 where we're both awake but the predominant the 262 00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:26,400 predominant the 263 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,150 predominant the majority of the work that we do in a 264 00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:28,160 majority of the work that we do in a 265 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,990 majority of the work that we do in a laboratory goes on during those eight 266 00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:30,000 laboratory goes on during those eight 267 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,390 laboratory goes on during those eight hour periods 268 00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:32,400 hour periods 269 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,309 hour periods can you explain for those of us who have 270 00:07:34,309 --> 00:07:34,319 can you explain for those of us who have 271 00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:37,510 can you explain for those of us who have never experienced it what weightlessness 272 00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:37,520 never experienced it what weightlessness 273 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,510 never experienced it what weightlessness feels like 274 00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:41,520 275 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,830 well that's a tough question i i could 276 00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:43,840 well that's a tough question i i could 277 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:50,950 well that's a tough question i i could actually show you hang on 278 00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:50,960 279 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,309 oh gosh 280 00:07:54,309 --> 00:07:54,319 281 00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:57,270 a lot of i'll tell you that 282 00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:57,280 a lot of i'll tell you that 283 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,510 a lot of i'll tell you that the closest experience i can equate it 284 00:07:59,510 --> 00:07:59,520 the closest experience i can equate it 285 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,469 the closest experience i can equate it to is it's sort of like some um scuba 286 00:08:02,469 --> 00:08:02,479 to is it's sort of like some um scuba 287 00:08:02,479 --> 00:08:05,510 to is it's sort of like some um scuba diving only the air is very on viscous 288 00:08:05,510 --> 00:08:05,520 diving only the air is very on viscous 289 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,909 diving only the air is very on viscous very fluid and you can uh it's 290 00:08:07,909 --> 00:08:07,919 very fluid and you can uh it's 291 00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:09,510 very fluid and you can uh it's effortless to move around you just put 292 00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:09,520 effortless to move around you just put 293 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,430 effortless to move around you just put the slightest force on something and you 294 00:08:11,430 --> 00:08:11,440 the slightest force on something and you 295 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,510 the slightest force on something and you find yourself floating across the uh the 296 00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:13,520 find yourself floating across the uh the 297 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,909 find yourself floating across the uh the laboratory very gracefully it it's 298 00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:15,919 laboratory very gracefully it it's 299 00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:18,070 laboratory very gracefully it it's really it's a it's a great experience 300 00:08:18,070 --> 00:08:18,080 really it's a it's a great experience 301 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,270 really it's a it's a great experience and it's hard to describe the feeling 302 00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:19,280 and it's hard to describe the feeling 303 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,270 and it's hard to describe the feeling but it's wonderful well i know you're a 304 00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:21,280 but it's wonderful well i know you're a 305 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,390 but it's wonderful well i know you're a rookie is this everything you had hoped 306 00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:24,400 rookie is this everything you had hoped 307 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,189 rookie is this everything you had hoped it would be 308 00:08:27,189 --> 00:08:27,199 it would be 309 00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:29,589 it would be i'd say tanya i thought that it would be 310 00:08:29,589 --> 00:08:29,599 i'd say tanya i thought that it would be 311 00:08:29,599 --> 00:08:31,270 i'd say tanya i thought that it would be a hard thing to be able to reach my 312 00:08:31,270 --> 00:08:31,280 a hard thing to be able to reach my 313 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,790 a hard thing to be able to reach my expectations because they were pretty 314 00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:32,800 expectations because they were pretty 315 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,110 expectations because they were pretty high but this has far exceeded what i 316 00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:35,120 high but this has far exceeded what i 317 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,709 high but this has far exceeded what i expected it's been a blast and i'm 318 00:08:36,709 --> 00:08:36,719 expected it's been a blast and i'm 319 00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:38,550 expected it's been a blast and i'm looking forward to the next few days and 320 00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:38,560 looking forward to the next few days and 321 00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:40,070 looking forward to the next few days and looking forward to doing this many times 322 00:08:40,070 --> 00:08:40,080 looking forward to doing this many times 323 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,190 looking forward to doing this many times again 324 00:08:41,190 --> 00:08:41,200 again 325 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,909 again okay on a personal note
