1 00:00:22,570 --> 00:00:26,290 we'll go ahead and go to questions here 2 00:00:26,290 --> 00:00:26,300 we'll go ahead and go to questions here 3 00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:27,640 we'll go ahead and go to questions here in Houston if you have no opening 4 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:27,650 in Houston if you have no opening 5 00:00:27,650 --> 00:00:29,830 in Houston if you have no opening statement and we'll start with mark 6 00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:29,840 statement and we'll start with mark 7 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,320 statement and we'll start with mark Cairo the Houston Chronicle 8 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:31,330 Cairo the Houston Chronicle 9 00:00:31,330 --> 00:00:34,840 Cairo the Houston Chronicle good morning what questions your Sacko 10 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:34,850 good morning what questions your Sacko 11 00:00:34,850 --> 00:00:37,570 good morning what questions your Sacko you spoke before the mission was some 12 00:00:37,570 --> 00:00:37,580 you spoke before the mission was some 13 00:00:37,580 --> 00:00:39,880 you spoke before the mission was some enthusiasm about the opportunity to 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:39,890 enthusiasm about the opportunity to 15 00:00:39,890 --> 00:00:43,270 enthusiasm about the opportunity to leave academia to pursue some research 16 00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:43,280 leave academia to pursue some research 17 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,070 leave academia to pursue some research in space including your experimental 18 00:00:45,070 --> 00:00:45,080 in space including your experimental 19 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,920 in space including your experimental zeolites I just wonder how you assess 20 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:47,930 zeolites I just wonder how you assess 21 00:00:47,930 --> 00:00:50,170 zeolites I just wonder how you assess that experience now was it worth the 22 00:00:50,170 --> 00:00:50,180 that experience now was it worth the 23 00:00:50,180 --> 00:00:52,900 that experience now was it worth the training the launch delays has the 24 00:00:52,900 --> 00:00:52,910 training the launch delays has the 25 00:00:52,910 --> 00:00:54,430 training the launch delays has the mission been long enough for your work 26 00:00:54,430 --> 00:00:54,440 mission been long enough for your work 27 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,709 mission been long enough for your work and you might just comment on your 28 00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:56,719 and you might just comment on your 29 00:00:56,719 --> 00:00:58,630 and you might just comment on your zeolite experiment do you think it's 30 00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:58,640 zeolite experiment do you think it's 31 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:14,170 zeolite experiment do you think it's benefited tremendous time about standing 32 00:01:14,170 --> 00:01:14,180 benefited tremendous time about standing 33 00:01:14,180 --> 00:01:16,090 benefited tremendous time about standing results it's going to be difficult for 34 00:01:16,090 --> 00:01:16,100 results it's going to be difficult for 35 00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:17,740 results it's going to be difficult for me to comment exactly on what those 36 00:01:17,740 --> 00:01:17,750 me to comment exactly on what those 37 00:01:17,750 --> 00:01:19,390 me to comment exactly on what those results are going to be they look pretty 38 00:01:19,390 --> 00:01:19,400 results are going to be they look pretty 39 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,190 results are going to be they look pretty good so far based on what I can see but 40 00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:21,200 good so far based on what I can see but 41 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,780 good so far based on what I can see but we really have to go back to the lab and 42 00:01:22,780 --> 00:01:22,790 we really have to go back to the lab and 43 00:01:22,790 --> 00:01:24,490 we really have to go back to the lab and use an electron microscope and some 44 00:01:24,490 --> 00:01:24,500 use an electron microscope and some 45 00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:26,469 use an electron microscope and some other pretty sophisticated equipment to 46 00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:26,479 other pretty sophisticated equipment to 47 00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:28,240 other pretty sophisticated equipment to look at just how long these crystals 48 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:28,250 look at just how long these crystals 49 00:01:28,250 --> 00:01:31,899 look at just how long these crystals have grown but on a quick look based on 50 00:01:31,899 --> 00:01:31,909 have grown but on a quick look based on 51 00:01:31,909 --> 00:01:33,039 have grown but on a quick look based on what you can see with the eye everything 52 00:01:33,039 --> 00:01:33,049 what you can see with the eye everything 53 00:01:33,049 --> 00:01:35,410 what you can see with the eye everything seems to be going very very well I'm 54 00:01:35,410 --> 00:01:35,420 seems to be going very very well I'm 55 00:01:35,420 --> 00:01:36,940 seems to be going very very well I'm real excited about that learned an awful 56 00:01:36,940 --> 00:01:36,950 real excited about that learned an awful 57 00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:38,770 real excited about that learned an awful lot about doing things in space which is 58 00:01:38,770 --> 00:01:38,780 lot about doing things in space which is 59 00:01:38,780 --> 00:01:40,390 lot about doing things in space which is a little different that I had imagined 60 00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:40,400 a little different that I had imagined 61 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,710 a little different that I had imagined or the way that I had researched it 62 00:01:41,710 --> 00:01:41,720 or the way that I had researched it 63 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,840 or the way that I had researched it pretty well and that's what I'm here for 64 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:43,850 pretty well and that's what I'm here for 65 00:01:43,850 --> 00:01:45,069 pretty well and that's what I'm here for I'm here to learn and pass on to my 66 00:01:45,069 --> 00:01:45,079 I'm here to learn and pass on to my 67 00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:46,450 I'm here to learn and pass on to my other colleagues or the future they can 68 00:01:46,450 --> 00:01:46,460 other colleagues or the future they can 69 00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:48,280 other colleagues or the future they can do well so if we do want with the 70 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:48,290 do well so if we do want with the 71 00:01:48,290 --> 00:01:50,560 do well so if we do want with the zeolite space experiment which I fully 72 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:50,570 zeolite space experiment which I fully 73 00:01:50,570 --> 00:01:53,109 zeolite space experiment which I fully expect we will I think that we can have 74 00:01:53,109 --> 00:01:53,119 expect we will I think that we can have 75 00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:54,999 expect we will I think that we can have some major breakthroughs down the road 76 00:01:54,999 --> 00:01:55,009 some major breakthroughs down the road 77 00:01:55,009 --> 00:01:57,609 some major breakthroughs down the road it takes some time we don't we can't run 78 00:01:57,609 --> 00:01:57,619 it takes some time we don't we can't run 79 00:01:57,619 --> 00:01:59,410 it takes some time we don't we can't run a lot of experiments up here we really 80 00:01:59,410 --> 00:01:59,420 a lot of experiments up here we really 81 00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:01,359 a lot of experiments up here we really need a station or something like that to 82 00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:01,369 need a station or something like that to 83 00:02:01,369 --> 00:02:02,770 need a station or something like that to spend a long a period of time and be 84 00:02:02,770 --> 00:02:02,780 spend a long a period of time and be 85 00:02:02,780 --> 00:02:05,679 spend a long a period of time and be able to iterate off the results that I 86 00:02:05,679 --> 00:02:05,689 able to iterate off the results that I 87 00:02:05,689 --> 00:02:08,620 able to iterate off the results that I feel that these preliminary results have 88 00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:08,630 feel that these preliminary results have 89 00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:10,150 feel that these preliminary results have based on what we had done at us about 90 00:02:10,150 --> 00:02:10,160 based on what we had done at us about 91 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,220 based on what we had done at us about one of the follow-on to that certainly 92 00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:12,230 one of the follow-on to that certainly 93 00:02:12,230 --> 00:02:13,930 one of the follow-on to that certainly giving us our lead the right direction 94 00:02:13,930 --> 00:02:13,940 giving us our lead the right direction 95 00:02:13,940 --> 00:02:15,520 giving us our lead the right direction as we look towards the space station 96 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:15,530 as we look towards the space station 97 00:02:15,530 --> 00:02:24,490 as we look towards the space station Terra Colombia stand by for Marshall PA 98 00:02:24,490 --> 00:02:24,500 Terra Colombia stand by for Marshall PA 99 00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:30,970 Terra Colombia stand by for Marshall PA Oh 100 00:02:30,970 --> 00:02:30,980 101 00:02:30,980 --> 00:02:34,580 TV here in Huntsville my question is for 102 00:02:34,580 --> 00:02:34,590 TV here in Huntsville my question is for 103 00:02:34,590 --> 00:02:41,030 TV here in Huntsville my question is for dr. Leslie dr. my question is to get you 104 00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:41,040 dr. Leslie dr. my question is to get you 105 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,440 dr. Leslie dr. my question is to get you to please comment on the role that 106 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:42,450 to please comment on the role that 107 00:02:42,450 --> 00:02:44,300 to please comment on the role that Marshall has played in this mission we 108 00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:44,310 Marshall has played in this mission we 109 00:02:44,310 --> 00:02:46,280 Marshall has played in this mission we know that the folks here in Huntsville 110 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,290 know that the folks here in Huntsville 111 00:02:46,290 --> 00:02:48,229 know that the folks here in Huntsville have overseen a lot of the experiments 112 00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:48,239 have overseen a lot of the experiments 113 00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:50,509 have overseen a lot of the experiments their comment on the support that you 114 00:02:50,509 --> 00:02:50,519 their comment on the support that you 115 00:02:50,519 --> 00:02:52,940 their comment on the support that you have received from the crews here on the 116 00:02:52,940 --> 00:02:52,950 have received from the crews here on the 117 00:02:52,950 --> 00:02:57,440 have received from the crews here on the ground at Marshall well the support from 118 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:57,450 ground at Marshall well the support from 119 00:02:57,450 --> 00:03:00,020 ground at Marshall well the support from Marshall has been quite extensive as you 120 00:03:00,020 --> 00:03:00,030 Marshall has been quite extensive as you 121 00:03:00,030 --> 00:03:01,640 Marshall has been quite extensive as you know a number of experiments came from 122 00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:01,650 know a number of experiments came from 123 00:03:01,650 --> 00:03:03,680 know a number of experiments came from Marshall so that's a contribution from 124 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:03,690 Marshall so that's a contribution from 125 00:03:03,690 --> 00:03:05,809 Marshall so that's a contribution from the science side we did a lot of our 126 00:03:05,809 --> 00:03:05,819 the science side we did a lot of our 127 00:03:05,819 --> 00:03:07,220 the science side we did a lot of our training there at Marshall there's a 128 00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:07,230 training there at Marshall there's a 129 00:03:07,230 --> 00:03:09,949 training there at Marshall there's a simulator of this laboratory module 130 00:03:09,949 --> 00:03:09,959 simulator of this laboratory module 131 00:03:09,959 --> 00:03:13,250 simulator of this laboratory module there so we says spent a year and a half 132 00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:13,260 there so we says spent a year and a half 133 00:03:13,260 --> 00:03:15,319 there so we says spent a year and a half training there and of course during the 134 00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:15,329 training there and of course during the 135 00:03:15,329 --> 00:03:17,449 training there and of course during the fly itself the payload operations 136 00:03:17,449 --> 00:03:17,459 fly itself the payload operations 137 00:03:17,459 --> 00:03:19,369 fly itself the payload operations control centers provided a tremendous 138 00:03:19,369 --> 00:03:19,379 control centers provided a tremendous 139 00:03:19,379 --> 00:03:21,229 control centers provided a tremendous amount of support in replanting our 140 00:03:21,229 --> 00:03:21,239 amount of support in replanting our 141 00:03:21,239 --> 00:03:23,210 amount of support in replanting our activities and keeping the science going 142 00:03:23,210 --> 00:03:23,220 activities and keeping the science going 143 00:03:23,220 --> 00:03:25,099 activities and keeping the science going so Marshalls made a tremendous 144 00:03:25,099 --> 00:03:25,109 so Marshalls made a tremendous 145 00:03:25,109 --> 00:03:35,740 so Marshalls made a tremendous contribution to this flight 146 00:03:35,740 --> 00:03:35,750 147 00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:38,960 Berkey with the huntsville times dr. 148 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:38,970 Berkey with the huntsville times dr. 149 00:03:38,970 --> 00:03:41,300 Berkey with the huntsville times dr. leslie if you could tell me what the 150 00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:41,310 leslie if you could tell me what the 151 00:03:41,310 --> 00:03:44,149 leslie if you could tell me what the benefit is of having gotten a chance to 152 00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:44,159 benefit is of having gotten a chance to 153 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:46,690 benefit is of having gotten a chance to go up yourself and do your science 154 00:03:46,690 --> 00:03:46,700 go up yourself and do your science 155 00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:50,300 go up yourself and do your science instead of simply sending someone up 156 00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:50,310 instead of simply sending someone up 157 00:03:50,310 --> 00:03:54,190 instead of simply sending someone up that's not as familiar with it as you 158 00:03:54,190 --> 00:03:54,200 159 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,539 well I wish I had the luxury to spend 160 00:03:56,539 --> 00:03:56,549 well I wish I had the luxury to spend 161 00:03:56,549 --> 00:03:58,550 well I wish I had the luxury to spend all my time on on my experiment and 162 00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:58,560 all my time on on my experiment and 163 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,979 all my time on on my experiment and watching the the flows being generated 164 00:04:00,979 --> 00:04:00,989 watching the the flows being generated 165 00:04:00,989 --> 00:04:02,720 watching the the flows being generated unfortunately I've got other duties here 166 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:02,730 unfortunately I've got other duties here 167 00:04:02,730 --> 00:04:06,199 unfortunately I've got other duties here so I don't have that luxury but the ones 168 00:04:06,199 --> 00:04:06,209 so I don't have that luxury but the ones 169 00:04:06,209 --> 00:04:07,819 so I don't have that luxury but the ones I've seen look really great as you know 170 00:04:07,819 --> 00:04:07,829 I've seen look really great as you know 171 00:04:07,829 --> 00:04:09,410 I've seen look really great as you know we were trying to look for transitions 172 00:04:09,410 --> 00:04:09,420 we were trying to look for transitions 173 00:04:09,420 --> 00:04:11,539 we were trying to look for transitions and certain types of flows that occur on 174 00:04:11,539 --> 00:04:11,549 and certain types of flows that occur on 175 00:04:11,549 --> 00:04:14,000 and certain types of flows that occur on a rotating sphere and I've seen those I 176 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:14,010 a rotating sphere and I've seen those I 177 00:04:14,010 --> 00:04:15,319 a rotating sphere and I've seen those I know there's a lot of data that's gone 178 00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:15,329 know there's a lot of data that's gone 179 00:04:15,329 --> 00:04:17,240 know there's a lot of data that's gone down in fact the instrument is running 180 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:17,250 down in fact the instrument is running 181 00:04:17,250 --> 00:04:19,520 down in fact the instrument is running now as I look over at it so even as we 182 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:19,530 now as I look over at it so even as we 183 00:04:19,530 --> 00:04:21,050 now as I look over at it so even as we speak there's data coming down and I'm 184 00:04:21,050 --> 00:04:21,060 speak there's data coming down and I'm 185 00:04:21,060 --> 00:04:22,340 speak there's data coming down and I'm going to look forward to spending a next 186 00:04:22,340 --> 00:04:22,350 going to look forward to spending a next 187 00:04:22,350 --> 00:04:23,930 going to look forward to spending a next year or so going over that data with the 188 00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:23,940 year or so going over that data with the 189 00:04:23,940 --> 00:04:25,820 year or so going over that data with the co-investigators and we'll have a great 190 00:04:25,820 --> 00:04:25,830 co-investigators and we'll have a great 191 00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:30,770 co-investigators and we'll have a great look at it Martin Burke again even out 192 00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:30,780 look at it Martin Burke again even out 193 00:04:30,780 --> 00:04:32,600 look at it Martin Burke again even out Pennington at one point said that he 194 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:32,610 Pennington at one point said that he 195 00:04:32,610 --> 00:04:34,339 Pennington at one point said that he thought this mission might be sort of 196 00:04:34,339 --> 00:04:34,349 thought this mission might be sort of 197 00:04:34,349 --> 00:04:36,170 thought this mission might be sort of like watching grass grow and that's okay 198 00:04:36,170 --> 00:04:36,180 like watching grass grow and that's okay 199 00:04:36,180 --> 00:04:39,020 like watching grass grow and that's okay but I was wondering what you would tell 200 00:04:39,020 --> 00:04:39,030 but I was wondering what you would tell 201 00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:40,430 but I was wondering what you would tell your folks and friends and Huntsville 202 00:04:40,430 --> 00:04:40,440 your folks and friends and Huntsville 203 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,550 your folks and friends and Huntsville about the importance of doing this basic 204 00:04:43,550 --> 00:04:43,560 about the importance of doing this basic 205 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,560 about the importance of doing this basic science that's hard to illustrate to 206 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:45,570 science that's hard to illustrate to 207 00:04:45,570 --> 00:04:54,500 science that's hard to illustrate to them personally 208 00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:54,510 209 00:04:54,510 --> 00:04:57,230 well sure farmers might be excited about 210 00:04:57,230 --> 00:04:57,240 well sure farmers might be excited about 211 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,300 well sure farmers might be excited about watching grass grow and scientists are 212 00:04:59,300 --> 00:04:59,310 watching grass grow and scientists are 213 00:04:59,310 --> 00:05:00,440 watching grass grow and scientists are excited about watching science 214 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:00,450 excited about watching science 215 00:05:00,450 --> 00:05:02,840 excited about watching science experiments take place so maybe I'm an 216 00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:02,850 experiments take place so maybe I'm an 217 00:05:02,850 --> 00:05:04,010 experiments take place so maybe I'm an optimist but I think the number of 218 00:05:04,010 --> 00:05:04,020 optimist but I think the number of 219 00:05:04,020 --> 00:05:05,510 optimist but I think the number of experiments we've been doing here for 220 00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:05,520 experiments we've been doing here for 221 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,680 experiments we've been doing here for the past two weeks is going to really 222 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:06,690 the past two weeks is going to really 223 00:05:06,690 --> 00:05:08,420 the past two weeks is going to really make a difference so I'm excited about 224 00:05:08,420 --> 00:05:08,430 make a difference so I'm excited about 225 00:05:08,430 --> 00:05:14,770 make a difference so I'm excited about it and finally dr. Leslie if you could 226 00:05:14,770 --> 00:05:14,780 it and finally dr. Leslie if you could 227 00:05:14,780 --> 00:05:17,990 it and finally dr. Leslie if you could talk a little bit if you would for 228 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:18,000 talk a little bit if you would for 229 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,370 talk a little bit if you would for Huntsville people about more 230 00:05:19,370 --> 00:05:19,380 Huntsville people about more 231 00:05:19,380 --> 00:05:20,960 Huntsville people about more specifically what it was like I mean 232 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:20,970 specifically what it was like I mean 233 00:05:20,970 --> 00:05:23,630 specifically what it was like I mean when you first reached orbit that very 234 00:05:23,630 --> 00:05:23,640 when you first reached orbit that very 235 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,460 when you first reached orbit that very first moment that you you know began to 236 00:05:25,460 --> 00:05:25,470 first moment that you you know began to 237 00:05:25,470 --> 00:05:37,730 first moment that you you know began to experience space around 3GS and we're 238 00:05:37,730 --> 00:05:37,740 experience space around 3GS and we're 239 00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:40,010 experience space around 3GS and we're killing that lie on our backs we're 240 00:05:40,010 --> 00:05:40,020 killing that lie on our backs we're 241 00:05:40,020 --> 00:05:48,380 killing that lie on our backs we're filling that to our chest but it's no 242 00:05:48,380 --> 00:05:48,390 filling that to our chest but it's no 243 00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:50,420 filling that to our chest but it's no longer where my back was but it was 244 00:05:50,420 --> 00:05:50,430 longer where my back was but it was 245 00:05:50,430 --> 00:05:52,850 longer where my back was but it was wherever I put my feet so for the next 246 00:05:52,850 --> 00:05:52,860 wherever I put my feet so for the next 247 00:05:52,860 --> 00:05:54,620 wherever I put my feet so for the next day or so it took a little getting used 248 00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:54,630 day or so it took a little getting used 249 00:05:54,630 --> 00:05:57,830 day or so it took a little getting used to the slight disorientation but you 250 00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:57,840 to the slight disorientation but you 251 00:05:57,840 --> 00:05:59,630 to the slight disorientation but you adapt after I guess it's different for 252 00:05:59,630 --> 00:05:59,640 adapt after I guess it's different for 253 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,790 adapt after I guess it's different for individuals but it took me about a day 254 00:06:01,790 --> 00:06:01,800 individuals but it took me about a day 255 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,250 individuals but it took me about a day or so to to adapt to that and it feels 256 00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:04,260 or so to to adapt to that and it feels 257 00:06:04,260 --> 00:06:07,580 or so to to adapt to that and it feels great now this is Marcia Benner the 258 00:06:07,580 --> 00:06:07,590 great now this is Marcia Benner the 259 00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:09,470 great now this is Marcia Benner the Associated Press for anyone who'd like 260 00:06:09,470 --> 00:06:09,480 Associated Press for anyone who'd like 261 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,900 Associated Press for anyone who'd like to answer earlier in the mission some of 262 00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:11,910 to answer earlier in the mission some of 263 00:06:11,910 --> 00:06:13,790 to answer earlier in the mission some of you mentioned missing pizza and showers 264 00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:13,800 you mentioned missing pizza and showers 265 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,650 you mentioned missing pizza and showers what else are you looking forward to 266 00:06:15,650 --> 00:06:15,660 what else are you looking forward to 267 00:06:15,660 --> 00:06:17,630 what else are you looking forward to getting back to and realistically 268 00:06:17,630 --> 00:06:17,640 getting back to and realistically 269 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,090 getting back to and realistically speaking how much more time do you wish 270 00:06:20,090 --> 00:06:20,100 speaking how much more time do you wish 271 00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:29,990 speaking how much more time do you wish you had up there welcome to get back but 272 00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:30,000 you had up there welcome to get back but 273 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,090 you had up there welcome to get back but in addition to that I guess a lot of us 274 00:06:32,090 --> 00:06:32,100 in addition to that I guess a lot of us 275 00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:33,560 in addition to that I guess a lot of us are missing our families I've got a two 276 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:33,570 are missing our families I've got a two 277 00:06:33,570 --> 00:06:35,510 are missing our families I've got a two natural daughter and I'm real excited 278 00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:35,520 natural daughter and I'm real excited 279 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,160 natural daughter and I'm real excited about getting to see her and hold her 280 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:37,170 about getting to see her and hold her 281 00:06:37,170 --> 00:06:40,190 about getting to see her and hold her again after two weeks but the admission 282 00:06:40,190 --> 00:06:40,200 again after two weeks but the admission 283 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,750 again after two weeks but the admission has been fantastic and as a matter of 284 00:06:41,750 --> 00:06:41,760 has been fantastic and as a matter of 285 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,330 has been fantastic and as a matter of fact the oh I know personally I'm open 286 00:06:44,330 --> 00:06:44,340 fact the oh I know personally I'm open 287 00:06:44,340 --> 00:06:45,740 fact the oh I know personally I'm open for at least one wave out there so we 288 00:06:45,740 --> 00:06:45,750 for at least one wave out there so we 289 00:06:45,750 --> 00:06:47,030 for at least one wave out there so we could have spent a little extra time up 290 00:06:47,030 --> 00:06:47,040 could have spent a little extra time up 291 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:54,200 could have spent a little extra time up here I think Yvonne with Reuters I have 292 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:54,210 here I think Yvonne with Reuters I have 293 00:06:54,210 --> 00:06:58,880 here I think Yvonne with Reuters I have a question for Katie and for Michael do 294 00:06:58,880 --> 00:06:58,890 a question for Katie and for Michael do 295 00:06:58,890 --> 00:07:02,540 a question for Katie and for Michael do you feel as if you had enough free time 296 00:07:02,540 --> 00:07:02,550 you feel as if you had enough free time 297 00:07:02,550 --> 00:07:05,090 you feel as if you had enough free time I know there were there is free time 298 00:07:05,090 --> 00:07:05,100 I know there were there is free time 299 00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:07,100 I know there were there is free time built into everyone's schedule but do 300 00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:07,110 built into everyone's schedule but do 301 00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:07,830 built into everyone's schedule but do you 302 00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:07,840 you 303 00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:10,080 you each of you feel that it was enough that 304 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:10,090 each of you feel that it was enough that 305 00:07:10,090 --> 00:07:12,330 each of you feel that it was enough that you have enough time just to look out 306 00:07:12,330 --> 00:07:12,340 you have enough time just to look out 307 00:07:12,340 --> 00:08:08,909 you have enough time just to look out the window and my situation was a little 308 00:08:08,909 --> 00:08:08,919 the window and my situation was a little 309 00:08:08,919 --> 00:08:11,640 the window and my situation was a little bit one of the orbiter crew members I 310 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:11,650 bit one of the orbiter crew members I 311 00:08:11,650 --> 00:08:13,500 bit one of the orbiter crew members I was not tasked on a minute-by-minute 312 00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:13,510 was not tasked on a minute-by-minute 313 00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:17,100 was not tasked on a minute-by-minute basis as was the payload through so my 314 00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:17,110 basis as was the payload through so my 315 00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:19,080 basis as was the payload through so my duties consisted mostly in the flight 316 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:19,090 duties consisted mostly in the flight 317 00:08:19,090 --> 00:08:21,240 duties consisted mostly in the flight deck and I got a great chance to look 318 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:21,250 deck and I got a great chance to look 319 00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:24,540 deck and I got a great chance to look out the window the pace for me was very 320 00:08:24,540 --> 00:08:24,550 out the window the pace for me was very 321 00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:26,430 out the window the pace for me was very comfortable and I certainly got enough 322 00:08:26,430 --> 00:08:26,440 comfortable and I certainly got enough 323 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,290 comfortable and I certainly got enough time off toward the end of the flight 324 00:08:28,290 --> 00:08:28,300 time off toward the end of the flight 325 00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:30,029 time off toward the end of the flight after I started to be a little bit more 326 00:08:30,029 --> 00:08:30,039 after I started to be a little bit more 327 00:08:30,039 --> 00:08:32,790 after I started to be a little bit more efficient about how I did things I found 328 00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:32,800 efficient about how I did things I found 329 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,040 efficient about how I did things I found that I had more time than I had in the 330 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:35,050 that I had more time than I had in the 331 00:08:35,050 --> 00:08:36,060 that I had more time than I had in the beginning of the flight and I was 332 00:08:36,060 --> 00:08:36,070 beginning of the flight and I was 333 00:08:36,070 --> 00:08:37,769 beginning of the flight and I was actually looking for other things to do 334 00:08:37,769 --> 00:08:37,779 actually looking for other things to do 335 00:08:37,779 --> 00:08:40,560 actually looking for other things to do to help my crewmates but you never get 336 00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:40,570 to help my crewmates but you never get 337 00:08:40,570 --> 00:08:42,029 to help my crewmates but you never get tired of the view and it's a great way 338 00:08:42,029 --> 00:08:42,039 tired of the view and it's a great way 339 00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:46,110 tired of the view and it's a great way to spend your free time it's bill 340 00:08:46,110 --> 00:08:46,120 to spend your free time it's bill 341 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,840 to spend your free time it's bill Harwood CBS News for dr. Thornton it 342 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:48,850 Harwood CBS News for dr. Thornton it 343 00:08:48,850 --> 00:08:50,280 Harwood CBS News for dr. Thornton it seems like every time there's a Spacelab 344 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:50,290 seems like every time there's a Spacelab 345 00:08:50,290 --> 00:08:51,750 seems like every time there's a Spacelab mission like this reporters always ask 346 00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:51,760 mission like this reporters always ask 347 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,090 mission like this reporters always ask you guys to talk about how it mirrors 348 00:08:54,090 --> 00:08:54,100 you guys to talk about how it mirrors 349 00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:55,920 you guys to talk about how it mirrors Space Station operations and things like 350 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:55,930 Space Station operations and things like 351 00:08:55,930 --> 00:08:57,510 Space Station operations and things like that I guess I've been struck during 352 00:08:57,510 --> 00:08:57,520 that I guess I've been struck during 353 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,160 that I guess I've been struck during this flight by the role of tellus ient 354 00:08:59,160 --> 00:08:59,170 this flight by the role of tellus ient 355 00:08:59,170 --> 00:09:01,590 this flight by the role of tellus ient by the multi-user facilities that are on 356 00:09:01,590 --> 00:09:01,600 by the multi-user facilities that are on 357 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,500 by the multi-user facilities that are on board could you talk about that theme in 358 00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:04,510 board could you talk about that theme in 359 00:09:04,510 --> 00:09:06,150 board could you talk about that theme in the sense philosophically this sort of 360 00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:06,160 the sense philosophically this sort of 361 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,160 the sense philosophically this sort of flight really does I think mirror some 362 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:08,170 flight really does I think mirror some 363 00:09:08,170 --> 00:09:09,900 flight really does I think mirror some of the operations on Space Station can 364 00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:09,910 of the operations on Space Station can 365 00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:16,110 of the operations on Space Station can you give me your thoughts on that are 366 00:09:16,110 --> 00:09:16,120 you give me your thoughts on that are 367 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,319 you give me your thoughts on that are precursors to Space Station experiments 368 00:09:18,319 --> 00:09:18,329 precursors to Space Station experiments 369 00:09:18,329 --> 00:09:20,510 precursors to Space Station experiments the drop physics module 370 00:09:20,510 --> 00:09:20,520 the drop physics module 371 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,790 the drop physics module the surface tension experiments that 372 00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:22,800 the surface tension experiments that 373 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,380 the surface tension experiments that we're doing are precursors some of the 374 00:09:24,380 --> 00:09:24,390 we're doing are precursors some of the 375 00:09:24,390 --> 00:09:26,720 we're doing are precursors some of the crystal growth experiments will be done 376 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:26,730 crystal growth experiments will be done 377 00:09:26,730 --> 00:09:28,820 crystal growth experiments will be done on Space Station and what we learn on 378 00:09:28,820 --> 00:09:28,830 on Space Station and what we learn on 379 00:09:28,830 --> 00:09:30,680 on Space Station and what we learn on these short duration flights can help in 380 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:30,690 these short duration flights can help in 381 00:09:30,690 --> 00:09:32,960 these short duration flights can help in the development of those facilities for 382 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:32,970 the development of those facilities for 383 00:09:32,970 --> 00:09:34,540 the development of those facilities for longer-term use on the space station 384 00:09:34,540 --> 00:09:34,550 longer-term use on the space station 385 00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:36,260 longer-term use on the space station some of the things that we've had 386 00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:36,270 some of the things that we've had 387 00:09:36,270 --> 00:09:38,450 some of the things that we've had onboard this flight that I do are ground 388 00:09:38,450 --> 00:09:38,460 onboard this flight that I do are ground 389 00:09:38,460 --> 00:09:43,280 onboard this flight that I do are ground air television and the electronic data 390 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:43,290 air television and the electronic data 391 00:09:43,290 --> 00:09:44,990 air television and the electronic data transfer we've had up and down is not 392 00:09:44,990 --> 00:09:45,000 transfer we've had up and down is not 393 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,550 transfer we've had up and down is not new on this flight but it's relatively 394 00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:46,560 new on this flight but it's relatively 395 00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:49,880 new on this flight but it's relatively new in the program and also the digital 396 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:49,890 new in the program and also the digital 397 00:09:49,890 --> 00:09:51,940 new in the program and also the digital television where we sit down six 398 00:09:51,940 --> 00:09:51,950 television where we sit down six 399 00:09:51,950 --> 00:09:55,880 television where we sit down six channels of digital video over one high 400 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:55,890 channels of digital video over one high 401 00:09:55,890 --> 00:09:57,800 channels of digital video over one high data-rate kayuu channel is due on this 402 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:57,810 data-rate kayuu channel is due on this 403 00:09:57,810 --> 00:09:59,300 data-rate kayuu channel is due on this flight and I think that's the way state 404 00:09:59,300 --> 00:09:59,310 flight and I think that's the way state 405 00:09:59,310 --> 00:10:01,670 flight and I think that's the way state the space that space station is going to 406 00:10:01,670 --> 00:10:01,680 the space that space station is going to 407 00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:03,710 the space that space station is going to be we have a lot of data to get to the 408 00:10:03,710 --> 00:10:03,720 be we have a lot of data to get to the 409 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,000 be we have a lot of data to get to the ground and we're gonna have to do it 410 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,010 ground and we're gonna have to do it 411 00:10:05,010 --> 00:10:06,890 ground and we're gonna have to do it this way so this is kind of a pathfinder 412 00:10:06,890 --> 00:10:06,900 this way so this is kind of a pathfinder 413 00:10:06,900 --> 00:10:09,380 this way so this is kind of a pathfinder for the kind of operations we're going 414 00:10:09,380 --> 00:10:09,390 for the kind of operations we're going 415 00:10:09,390 --> 00:10:13,790 for the kind of operations we're going to have on the space station this is 416 00:10:13,790 --> 00:10:13,800 to have on the space station this is 417 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,710 to have on the space station this is Michael cabbage with Florida today and 418 00:10:15,710 --> 00:10:15,720 Michael cabbage with Florida today and 419 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,590 Michael cabbage with Florida today and my question is for Kathy Thornton and Al 420 00:10:18,590 --> 00:10:18,600 my question is for Kathy Thornton and Al 421 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,470 my question is for Kathy Thornton and Al Sacco I know the people at Marshall are 422 00:10:21,470 --> 00:10:21,480 Sacco I know the people at Marshall are 423 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,120 Sacco I know the people at Marshall are still in the early stages of reviewing 424 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:23,130 still in the early stages of reviewing 425 00:10:23,130 --> 00:10:25,490 still in the early stages of reviewing the data for most of the experiments but 426 00:10:25,490 --> 00:10:25,500 the data for most of the experiments but 427 00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,260 the data for most of the experiments but have there been any results that jump 428 00:10:27,260 --> 00:10:27,270 have there been any results that jump 429 00:10:27,270 --> 00:10:29,240 have there been any results that jump out is something totally unexpected or 430 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:29,250 out is something totally unexpected or 431 00:10:29,250 --> 00:10:31,160 out is something totally unexpected or anything to characterizes a major 432 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:31,170 anything to characterizes a major 433 00:10:31,170 --> 00:10:43,460 anything to characterizes a major discovery at this point we have seen 434 00:10:43,460 --> 00:10:43,470 discovery at this point we have seen 435 00:10:43,470 --> 00:10:45,500 discovery at this point we have seen some surprises in terms of the crystal 436 00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:45,510 some surprises in terms of the crystal 437 00:10:45,510 --> 00:10:48,110 some surprises in terms of the crystal growth in particular what I've seen is 438 00:10:48,110 --> 00:10:48,120 growth in particular what I've seen is 439 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,580 growth in particular what I've seen is some of the crystals have grown faster 440 00:10:49,580 --> 00:10:49,590 some of the crystals have grown faster 441 00:10:49,590 --> 00:10:51,350 some of the crystals have grown faster than I expected that the grow based on 442 00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:51,360 than I expected that the grow based on 443 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,870 than I expected that the grow based on previous literature I had read in other 444 00:10:53,870 --> 00:10:53,880 previous literature I had read in other 445 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,060 previous literature I had read in other cases crystals that I expected to grow 446 00:10:56,060 --> 00:10:56,070 cases crystals that I expected to grow 447 00:10:56,070 --> 00:10:59,210 cases crystals that I expected to grow slower did grow slower but try to 448 00:10:59,210 --> 00:10:59,220 slower did grow slower but try to 449 00:10:59,220 --> 00:11:01,100 slower did grow slower but try to analyze exactly what that is whether it 450 00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:01,110 analyze exactly what that is whether it 451 00:11:01,110 --> 00:11:02,630 analyze exactly what that is whether it have to do with the fluid dynamics or 452 00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:02,640 have to do with the fluid dynamics or 453 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,400 have to do with the fluid dynamics or whether we're change something sets of 454 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:04,410 whether we're change something sets of 455 00:11:04,410 --> 00:11:06,140 whether we're change something sets of interesting things the Kathy will talk 456 00:11:06,140 --> 00:11:06,150 interesting things the Kathy will talk 457 00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:07,340 interesting things the Kathy will talk about the minute on the combustion 458 00:11:07,340 --> 00:11:07,350 about the minute on the combustion 459 00:11:07,350 --> 00:11:09,440 about the minute on the combustion experiments we were looking at flames 460 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:09,450 experiments we were looking at flames 461 00:11:09,450 --> 00:11:11,450 experiments we were looking at flames burn as well so yeah we've learned an 462 00:11:11,450 --> 00:11:11,460 burn as well so yeah we've learned an 463 00:11:11,460 --> 00:11:12,860 burn as well so yeah we've learned an awful lot and that's what science is all 464 00:11:12,860 --> 00:11:12,870 awful lot and that's what science is all 465 00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:15,590 awful lot and that's what science is all about things change you postulate 466 00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:15,600 about things change you postulate 467 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,870 about things change you postulate something you I know just how good you 468 00:11:17,870 --> 00:11:17,880 something you I know just how good you 469 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,250 something you I know just how good you really understand things and then you 470 00:11:19,250 --> 00:11:19,260 really understand things and then you 471 00:11:19,260 --> 00:11:22,070 really understand things and then you move this situation forward an iterative 472 00:11:22,070 --> 00:11:22,080 move this situation forward an iterative 473 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,450 move this situation forward an iterative process and that's exactly what's 474 00:11:23,450 --> 00:11:23,460 process and that's exactly what's 475 00:11:23,460 --> 00:11:25,460 process and that's exactly what's working out here there's been some 476 00:11:25,460 --> 00:11:25,470 working out here there's been some 477 00:11:25,470 --> 00:11:27,470 working out here there's been some significant surprises in terms of the 478 00:11:27,470 --> 00:11:27,480 significant surprises in terms of the 479 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,450 significant surprises in terms of the rates in my mind anyways the crystal 480 00:11:29,450 --> 00:11:29,460 rates in my mind anyways the crystal 481 00:11:29,460 --> 00:11:33,470 rates in my mind anyways the crystal glow and will be 482 00:11:33,470 --> 00:11:33,480 483 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,600 my fluids experiments cannot be done on 484 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:36,610 my fluids experiments cannot be done on 485 00:11:36,610 --> 00:11:38,190 my fluids experiments cannot be done on the ground so everything up here was 486 00:11:38,190 --> 00:11:38,200 the ground so everything up here was 487 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,350 the ground so everything up here was pretty much a surprise we found that a 488 00:11:40,350 --> 00:11:40,360 pretty much a surprise we found that a 489 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,180 pretty much a surprise we found that a lot of times the procedures that we had 490 00:11:42,180 --> 00:11:42,190 lot of times the procedures that we had 491 00:11:42,190 --> 00:11:44,160 lot of times the procedures that we had from pre-flight are essentially being 492 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:44,170 from pre-flight are essentially being 493 00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:45,810 from pre-flight are essentially being rewritten after the first one or two 494 00:11:45,810 --> 00:11:45,820 rewritten after the first one or two 495 00:11:45,820 --> 00:11:47,760 rewritten after the first one or two runs of an experiment because of the 496 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:47,770 runs of an experiment because of the 497 00:11:47,770 --> 00:11:49,079 runs of an experiment because of the things that were learned in those first 498 00:11:49,079 --> 00:11:49,089 things that were learned in those first 499 00:11:49,089 --> 00:11:51,120 things that were learned in those first one or she runs and I think it's great 500 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:51,130 one or she runs and I think it's great 501 00:11:51,130 --> 00:11:52,560 one or she runs and I think it's great that we can be flexible enough to handle 502 00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:52,570 that we can be flexible enough to handle 503 00:11:52,570 --> 00:11:54,449 that we can be flexible enough to handle that that all the folks on the ground 504 00:11:54,449 --> 00:11:54,459 that that all the folks on the ground 505 00:11:54,459 --> 00:11:56,570 that that all the folks on the ground can turn things around that fast 506 00:11:56,570 --> 00:11:56,580 can turn things around that fast 507 00:11:56,580 --> 00:11:58,920 can turn things around that fast particularly in the drop physics module 508 00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:58,930 particularly in the drop physics module 509 00:11:58,930 --> 00:12:00,780 particularly in the drop physics module and the surface tension driven 510 00:12:00,780 --> 00:12:00,790 and the surface tension driven 511 00:12:00,790 --> 00:12:03,480 and the surface tension driven convection experiment we saw a lot of 512 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:03,490 convection experiment we saw a lot of 513 00:12:03,490 --> 00:12:07,769 convection experiment we saw a lot of new things that we're not expected he 514 00:12:07,769 --> 00:12:07,779 new things that we're not expected he 515 00:12:07,779 --> 00:12:09,269 new things that we're not expected he called Terry with the West Kentucky news 516 00:12:09,269 --> 00:12:09,279 called Terry with the West Kentucky news 517 00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:12,090 called Terry with the West Kentucky news for the commander by the way thanks for 518 00:12:12,090 --> 00:12:12,100 for the commander by the way thanks for 519 00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:13,350 for the commander by the way thanks for waiting till I got back from vacation 520 00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:13,360 waiting till I got back from vacation 521 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,019 waiting till I got back from vacation for lifting off if everything goes 522 00:12:16,019 --> 00:12:16,029 for lifting off if everything goes 523 00:12:16,029 --> 00:12:19,650 for lifting off if everything goes according to schedule you'll be coming 524 00:12:19,650 --> 00:12:19,660 according to schedule you'll be coming 525 00:12:19,660 --> 00:12:22,590 according to schedule you'll be coming home Sunday and apparently the range is 526 00:12:22,590 --> 00:12:22,600 home Sunday and apparently the range is 527 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,790 home Sunday and apparently the range is not going to be able to fully support 528 00:12:23,790 --> 00:12:23,800 not going to be able to fully support 529 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,680 not going to be able to fully support you what have you been doing to prepare 530 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:25,690 you what have you been doing to prepare 531 00:12:25,690 --> 00:12:35,400 you what have you been doing to prepare for the landing protocol exercise trying 532 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:35,410 for the landing protocol exercise trying 533 00:12:35,410 --> 00:12:36,960 for the landing protocol exercise trying to take care of ourselves getting plenty 534 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:36,970 to take care of ourselves getting plenty 535 00:12:36,970 --> 00:12:39,740 to take care of ourselves getting plenty of sleep we've also been using the pilot 536 00:12:39,740 --> 00:12:39,750 of sleep we've also been using the pilot 537 00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:43,680 of sleep we've also been using the pilot simulator a small it's a workstation in 538 00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:43,690 simulator a small it's a workstation in 539 00:12:43,690 --> 00:12:45,900 simulator a small it's a workstation in a laptop computer that allows us to 540 00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:45,910 a laptop computer that allows us to 541 00:12:45,910 --> 00:12:48,240 a laptop computer that allows us to practice on landings on-orbit take a 542 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:48,250 practice on landings on-orbit take a 543 00:12:48,250 --> 00:12:50,610 practice on landings on-orbit take a look at our symbology the landing Hudson 544 00:12:50,610 --> 00:12:50,620 look at our symbology the landing Hudson 545 00:12:50,620 --> 00:12:51,090 look at our symbology the landing Hudson Balaji 546 00:12:51,090 --> 00:12:51,100 Balaji 547 00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:52,620 Balaji before we actually get into

00:13:00,790 Associated Press again for anyone if you 555 00:13:00,790 --> 00:13:02,730 Associated Press again for anyone if you were going to spend another month or two 556 00:13:02,730 --> 00:13:02,740 were going to spend another month or two 557 00:13:02,740 --> 00:13:04,890 were going to spend another month or two or three in orbit like on a space 558 00:13:04,890 --> 00:13:04,900 or three in orbit like on a space 559 00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:06,449 or three in orbit like on a space station I'm wondering what kind of 560 00:13:06,449 --> 00:13:06,459 station I'm wondering what kind of 561 00:13:06,459 --> 00:13:08,310 station I'm wondering what kind of amenities would you like to make your 562 00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:08,320 amenities would you like to make your 563 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,250 amenities would you like to make your life more livable and maybe along those 564 00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:11,260 life more livable and maybe along those 565 00:13:11,260 --> 00:13:13,079 life more livable and maybe along those lines the ground to air TV helped in 566 00:13:13,079 --> 00:13:13,089 lines the ground to air TV helped in 567 00:13:13,089 --> 00:13:15,630 lines the ground to air TV helped in terms of your family contacts could you 568 00:13:15,630 --> 00:13:15,640 terms of your family contacts could you 569 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:24,350 terms of your family contacts could you talk about livable living in space 570 00:13:24,350 --> 00:13:24,360 571 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,410 well I think the we love our food up 572 00:13:27,410 --> 00:13:27,420 well I think the we love our food up 573 00:13:27,420 --> 00:13:28,669 well I think the we love our food up here but what I've learned on this 574 00:13:28,669 --> 00:13:28,679 here but what I've learned on this 575 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,259 here but what I've learned on this flight is I didn't spend enough time in 576 00:13:30,259 --> 00:13:30,269 flight is I didn't spend enough time in 577 00:13:30,269 --> 00:13:31,910 flight is I didn't spend enough time in my menu and I repeated to me the items 578 00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:31,920 my menu and I repeated to me the items 579 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,369 my menu and I repeated to me the items so variety on food I think is very 580 00:13:34,369 --> 00:13:34,379 so variety on food I think is very 581 00:13:34,379 --> 00:13:36,019 so variety on food I think is very important even things it's if you're not 582 00:13:36,019 --> 00:13:36,029 important even things it's if you're not 583 00:13:36,029 --> 00:13:37,999 important even things it's if you're not gonna like after eating the same thing 584 00:13:37,999 --> 00:13:38,009 gonna like after eating the same thing 585 00:13:38,009 --> 00:13:39,829 gonna like after eating the same thing several days in a row you're ready for a 586 00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:39,839 several days in a row you're ready for a 587 00:13:39,839 --> 00:13:42,350 several days in a row you're ready for a change the as far as the other thing 588 00:13:42,350 --> 00:13:42,360 change the as far as the other thing 589 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:43,579 change the as far as the other thing that's very important to have a little 590 00:13:43,579 --> 00:13:43,589 that's very important to have a little 591 00:13:43,589 --> 00:13:45,979 that's very important to have a little bit of privacy and we've seen that with 592 00:13:45,979 --> 00:13:45,989 bit of privacy and we've seen that with 593 00:13:45,989 --> 00:13:47,600 bit of privacy and we've seen that with our sleep stations on board not all 594 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:47,610 our sleep stations on board not all 595 00:13:47,610 --> 00:13:48,859 our sleep stations on board not all flights have them but that's very 596 00:13:48,859 --> 00:13:48,869 flights have them but that's very 597 00:13:48,869 --> 00:13:50,600 flights have them but that's very important and I think for station and 598 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:50,610 important and I think for station and 599 00:13:50,610 --> 00:13:52,789 important and I think for station and when you start spending two or three or 600 00:13:52,789 --> 00:13:52,799 when you start spending two or three or 601 00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:54,889 when you start spending two or three or four months in space you've got to give 602 00:13:54,889 --> 00:13:54,899 four months in space you've got to give 603 00:13:54,899 --> 00:13:55,910 four months in space you've got to give people some privacy 604 00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:55,920 people some privacy 605 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,710 people some privacy just so they can have a little bit of 606 00:13:57,710 --> 00:13:57,720 just so they can have a little bit of 607 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,960 just so they can have a little bit of time alone and that'll make it much more 608 00:13:59,960 --> 00:13:59,970 time alone and that'll make it much more 609 00:13:59,970 --> 00:14:02,030 time alone and that'll make it much more productive and efficient in the long run 610 00:14:02,030 --> 00:14:02,040 productive and efficient in the long run 611 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:10,910 productive and efficient in the long run I want to that what they know it'd be 612 00:14:10,910 --> 00:14:10,920 I want to that what they know it'd be 613 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,590 I want to that what they know it'd be quite a bit different as we've been 614 00:14:12,590 --> 00:14:12,600 quite a bit different as we've been 615 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,470 quite a bit different as we've been working pretty hard for two weeks this 616 00:14:15,470 --> 00:14:15,480 working pretty hard for two weeks this 617 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,210 working pretty hard for two weeks this is kind of a sprint compared to a two 618 00:14:17,210 --> 00:14:17,220 is kind of a sprint compared to a two 619 00:14:17,220 --> 00:14:18,859 is kind of a sprint compared to a two month or three months or four months 620 00:14:18,859 --> 00:14:18,869 month or three months or four months 621 00:14:18,869 --> 00:14:21,470 month or three months or four months spin on orbit and so I think things 622 00:14:21,470 --> 00:14:21,480 spin on orbit and so I think things 623 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:22,669 spin on orbit and so I think things would be a little bit different rather 624 00:14:22,669 --> 00:14:22,679 would be a little bit different rather 625 00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:24,859 would be a little bit different rather than have every minute point out to them 626 00:14:24,859 --> 00:14:24,869 than have every minute point out to them 627 00:14:24,869 --> 00:14:27,470 than have every minute point out to them to the detail we would probably have 628 00:14:27,470 --> 00:14:27,480 to the detail we would probably have 629 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,530 to the detail we would probably have some more general goals to accomplish in 630 00:14:30,530 --> 00:14:30,540 some more general goals to accomplish in 631 00:14:30,540 --> 00:14:32,509 some more general goals to accomplish in a day or even a week and we would 632 00:14:32,509 --> 00:14:32,519 a day or even a week and we would 633 00:14:32,519 --> 00:14:34,639 a day or even a week and we would probably not be working 12 hours a day 634 00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:34,649 probably not be working 12 hours a day 635 00:14:34,649 --> 00:14:36,710 probably not be working 12 hours a day either because that could be that'd be 636 00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:36,720 either because that could be that'd be 637 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,389 either because that could be that'd be pretty tough to maintain over that time 638 00:14:38,389 --> 00:14:38,399 pretty tough to maintain over that time 639 00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:40,759 pretty tough to maintain over that time so the question because of what you're 640 00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:40,769 so the question because of what you're 641 00:14:40,769 --> 00:14:43,429 so the question because of what you're going to do in your free time and I 642 00:14:43,429 --> 00:14:43,439 going to do in your free time and I 643 00:14:43,439 --> 00:14:45,679 going to do in your free time and I guess you need to come up with some sort 644 00:14:45,679 --> 00:14:45,689 guess you need to come up with some sort 645 00:14:45,689 --> 00:14:47,659 guess you need to come up with some sort of entertainment and he mentioned 646 00:14:47,659 --> 00:14:47,669 of entertainment and he mentioned 647 00:14:47,669 --> 00:14:49,879 of entertainment and he mentioned ground-to-air TV that would be one thing 648 00:14:49,879 --> 00:14:49,889 ground-to-air TV that would be one thing 649 00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:52,009 ground-to-air TV that would be one thing certainly a selection a greater 650 00:14:52,009 --> 00:14:52,019 certainly a selection a greater 651 00:14:52,019 --> 00:14:53,539 certainly a selection a greater selection of music and I personally 652 00:14:53,539 --> 00:14:53,549 selection of music and I personally 653 00:14:53,549 --> 00:14:55,909 selection of music and I personally would wish I would have brought a book 654 00:14:55,909 --> 00:14:55,919 would wish I would have brought a book 655 00:14:55,919 --> 00:14:58,789 would wish I would have brought a book along to read because sometimes it takes 656 00:14:58,789 --> 00:14:58,799 along to read because sometimes it takes 657 00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:00,499 along to read because sometimes it takes a little while to unwind after the days 658 00:15:00,499 --> 00:15:00,509 a little while to unwind after the days 659 00:15:00,509 --> 00:15:03,619 a little while to unwind after the days over and when you get into into the 660 00:15:03,619 --> 00:15:03,629 over and when you get into into the 661 00:15:03,629 --> 00:15:06,019 over and when you get into into the sleep station without anything to read 662 00:15:06,019 --> 00:15:06,029 sleep station without anything to read 663 00:15:06,029 --> 00:15:07,999 sleep station without anything to read you kind of have to let your mind wander 664 00:15:07,999 --> 00:15:08,009 you kind of have to let your mind wander 665 00:15:08,009 --> 00:15:09,439 you kind of have to let your mind wander a little bit and it's a little bit 666 00:15:09,439 --> 00:15:09,449 a little bit and it's a little bit 667 00:15:09,449 --> 00:15:10,669 a little bit and it's a little bit tougher that way and I think I could 668 00:15:10,669 --> 00:15:10,679 tougher that way and I think I could 669 00:15:10,679 --> 00:15:11,749 tougher that way and I think I could have learned something and enjoyed 670 00:15:11,749 --> 00:15:11,759 have learned something and enjoyed 671 00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:19,470 have learned something and enjoyed myself at the same time 672 00:15:19,470 --> 00:15:19,480 673 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,450 this is Vicki Vaughn with Reuters again 674 00:15:22,450 --> 00:15:22,460 this is Vicki Vaughn with Reuters again 675 00:15:22,460 --> 00:15:25,650 this is Vicki Vaughn with Reuters again I have a follow-up to Marshalls question 676 00:15:25,650 --> 00:15:25,660 I have a follow-up to Marshalls question 677 00:15:25,660 --> 00:15:27,760 I have a follow-up to Marshalls question Michael I'd like to know what kind of 678 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:27,770 Michael I'd like to know what kind of 679 00:15:27,770 --> 00:15:30,010 Michael I'd like to know what kind of music you didn't listen to or what was 680 00:15:30,010 --> 00:15:30,020 music you didn't listen to or what was 681 00:15:30,020 --> 00:15:34,680 music you didn't listen to or what was available up there but my question is if 682 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:34,690 available up there but my question is if 683 00:15:34,690 --> 00:15:38,830 available up there but my question is if I'm hoping maybe two of you could answer 684 00:15:38,830 --> 00:15:38,840 I'm hoping maybe two of you could answer 685 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,620 I'm hoping maybe two of you could answer this if you were suddenly put in charge 686 00:15:41,620 --> 00:15:41,630 this if you were suddenly put in charge 687 00:15:41,630 --> 00:15:46,330 this if you were suddenly put in charge of a new mission USML 3 what changes 688 00:15:46,330 --> 00:15:46,340 of a new mission USML 3 what changes 689 00:15:46,340 --> 00:15:48,850 of a new mission USML 3 what changes would you like to make either in terms 690 00:15:48,850 --> 00:15:48,860 would you like to make either in terms 691 00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:51,220 would you like to make either in terms of scheduling or the science aboard 692 00:15:51,220 --> 00:15:51,230 of scheduling or the science aboard 693 00:15:51,230 --> 00:15:54,640 of scheduling or the science aboard anything maybe any broad issue that you 694 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:54,650 anything maybe any broad issue that you 695 00:15:54,650 --> 00:15:56,710 anything maybe any broad issue that you would like to address or change on an 696 00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:56,720 would like to address or change on an 697 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:03,460 would like to address or change on an upcoming mission Vicki though a long 698 00:16:03,460 --> 00:16:03,470 upcoming mission Vicki though a long 699 00:16:03,470 --> 00:16:05,590 upcoming mission Vicki though a long question let me see if I the beginning 700 00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:05,600 question let me see if I the beginning 701 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,120 question let me see if I the beginning of it I think that's what kind of music 702 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:07,130 of it I think that's what kind of music 703 00:16:07,130 --> 00:16:08,950 of it I think that's what kind of music or what selection we have actually each 704 00:16:08,950 --> 00:16:08,960 or what selection we have actually each 705 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,050 or what selection we have actually each of us got to bring a selection of music 706 00:16:11,050 --> 00:16:11,060 of us got to bring a selection of music 707 00:16:11,060 --> 00:16:13,030 of us got to bring a selection of music with us and I'm not sure but I don't 708 00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:13,040 with us and I'm not sure but I don't 709 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,830 with us and I'm not sure but I don't think we've done any exchanging yet but 710 00:16:14,830 --> 00:16:14,840 think we've done any exchanging yet but 711 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,490 think we've done any exchanging yet but that certainly is an option as far as 712 00:16:18,490 --> 00:16:18,500 that certainly is an option as far as 713 00:16:18,500 --> 00:16:20,890 that certainly is an option as far as what other changes we've what other 714 00:16:20,890 --> 00:16:20,900 what other changes we've what other 715 00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:23,260 what other changes we've what other changes we might entertain well I took 716 00:16:23,260 --> 00:16:23,270 changes we might entertain well I took 717 00:16:23,270 --> 00:16:25,510 changes we might entertain well I took they mentioned a few of them as I said 718 00:16:25,510 --> 00:16:25,520 they mentioned a few of them as I said 719 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,730 they mentioned a few of them as I said I'd like to bring along a Brook I don't 720 00:16:27,730 --> 00:16:27,740 I'd like to bring along a Brook I don't 721 00:16:27,740 --> 00:16:28,960 I'd like to bring along a Brook I don't think we have any complaints with the 722 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:28,970 think we have any complaints with the 723 00:16:28,970 --> 00:16:30,700 think we have any complaints with the scheduling whatsoever for the length of 724 00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:30,710 scheduling whatsoever for the length of 725 00:16:30,710 --> 00:16:32,950 scheduling whatsoever for the length of mission that we have it was not too much 726 00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:32,960 mission that we have it was not too much 727 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,500 mission that we have it was not too much work yet it was enough and I think we 728 00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:35,510 work yet it was enough and I think we 729 00:16:35,510 --> 00:16:36,880 work yet it was enough and I think we really got a lot of bang for our buck 730 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:36,890 really got a lot of bang for our buck 731 00:16:36,890 --> 00:16:40,060 really got a lot of bang for our buck with the science teams so I think that's 732 00:16:40,060 --> 00:16:40,070 with the science teams so I think that's 733 00:16:40,070 --> 00:16:41,860 with the science teams so I think that's that's something that I would not change 734 00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:41,870 that's something that I would not change 735 00:16:41,870 --> 00:16:43,780 that's something that I would not change now as I said if we were going to step 736 00:16:43,780 --> 00:16:43,790 now as I said if we were going to step 737 00:16:43,790 --> 00:16:45,580 now as I said if we were going to step it up that long ago we might slack off a 738 00:16:45,580 --> 00:16:45,590 it up that long ago we might slack off a 739 00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:48,870 it up that long ago we might slack off a little because it this is a pretty 740 00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:48,880 little because it this is a pretty 741 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,490 little because it this is a pretty sprint type pace it would be tough to 742 00:16:51,490 --> 00:16:51,500 sprint type pace it would be tough to 743 00:16:51,500 --> 00:16:53,290 sprint type pace it would be tough to maintain over a much longer period and 744 00:16:53,290 --> 00:16:53,300 maintain over a much longer period and 745 00:16:53,300 --> 00:17:02,400 maintain over a much longer period and now I'll let Katie answer 746 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:02,410 747 00:17:02,410 --> 00:17:09,069 well I was three it would be longer once 748 00:17:09,069 --> 00:17:09,079 well I was three it would be longer once 749 00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:10,329 well I was three it would be longer once we got up here to do some of the 750 00:17:10,329 --> 00:17:10,339 we got up here to do some of the 751 00:17:10,339 --> 00:17:11,949 we got up here to do some of the experiments that we've been practicing 752 00:17:11,949 --> 00:17:11,959 experiments that we've been practicing 753 00:17:11,959 --> 00:17:14,620 experiments that we've been practicing and talking about and planning and 754 00:17:14,620 --> 00:17:14,630 and talking about and planning and 755 00:17:14,630 --> 00:17:16,510 and talking about and planning and trying to figure out exactly what is the 756 00:17:16,510 --> 00:17:16,520 trying to figure out exactly what is the 757 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,130 trying to figure out exactly what is the best way to do them up here on orbit 758 00:17:18,130 --> 00:17:18,140 best way to do them up here on orbit 759 00:17:18,140 --> 00:17:20,410 best way to do them up here on orbit when you actually get to do them it's a 760 00:17:20,410 --> 00:17:20,420 when you actually get to do them it's a 761 00:17:20,420 --> 00:17:22,240 when you actually get to do them it's a wonderful thing I just feel like I'm up 762 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:22,250 wonderful thing I just feel like I'm up 763 00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:24,549 wonderful thing I just feel like I'm up here doing what I like to do and that's 764 00:17:24,549 --> 00:17:24,559 here doing what I like to do and that's 765 00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:26,530 here doing what I like to do and that's great for me so it'll be a longer 766 00:17:26,530 --> 00:17:26,540 great for me so it'll be a longer 767 00:17:26,540 --> 00:17:30,490 great for me so it'll be a longer mission certainly and I guess so I would 768 00:17:30,490 --> 00:17:30,500 mission certainly and I guess so I would 769 00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:31,960 mission certainly and I guess so I would probably do a lot more exchanging on 770 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:31,970 probably do a lot more exchanging on 771 00:17:31,970 --> 00:17:45,520 probably do a lot more exchanging on music yes for commander Bowersox I guess 772 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:45,530 music yes for commander Bowersox I guess 773 00:17:45,530 --> 00:17:46,690 music yes for commander Bowersox I guess the weather forecast isn't all that 774 00:17:46,690 --> 00:17:46,700 the weather forecast isn't all that 775 00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:48,490 the weather forecast isn't all that optimistic for Sunday landing here if 776 00:17:48,490 --> 00:17:48,500 optimistic for Sunday landing here if 777 00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:50,289 optimistic for Sunday landing here if you land Monday you'll break the shuttle 778 00:17:50,289 --> 00:17:50,299 you land Monday you'll break the shuttle 779 00:17:50,299 --> 00:17:51,850 you land Monday you'll break the shuttle record for a long duration flight 780 00:17:51,850 --> 00:17:51,860 record for a long duration flight 781 00:17:51,860 --> 00:17:54,190 record for a long duration flight can you just two things can you discuss 782 00:17:54,190 --> 00:17:54,200 can you just two things can you discuss 783 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,549 can you just two things can you discuss a your readiness to land after this long 784 00:17:57,549 --> 00:17:57,559 a your readiness to land after this long 785 00:17:57,559 --> 00:17:59,409 a your readiness to land after this long of a flight you know how you stay in 786 00:17:59,409 --> 00:17:59,419 of a flight you know how you stay in 787 00:17:59,419 --> 00:18:01,539 of a flight you know how you stay in shape I realize you exercise and use 788 00:18:01,539 --> 00:18:01,549 shape I realize you exercise and use 789 00:18:01,549 --> 00:18:04,120 shape I realize you exercise and use pilot but just your general views on 790 00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:04,130 pilot but just your general views on 791 00:18:04,130 --> 00:18:06,789 pilot but just your general views on landing after a long flight and broader 792 00:18:06,789 --> 00:18:06,799 landing after a long flight and broader 793 00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:08,200 landing after a long flight and broader than that what is the state of knowledge 794 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:08,210 than that what is the state of knowledge 795 00:18:08,210 --> 00:18:10,780 than that what is the state of knowledge now about how long you think a pilots of 796 00:18:10,780 --> 00:18:10,790 now about how long you think a pilots of 797 00:18:10,790 --> 00:18:13,060 now about how long you think a pilots of the shuttle can stay weightless and 798 00:18:13,060 --> 00:18:13,070 the shuttle can stay weightless and 799 00:18:13,070 --> 00:18:14,919 the shuttle can stay weightless and still perform properly when you pull 800 00:18:14,919 --> 00:18:14,929 still perform properly when you pull 801 00:18:14,929 --> 00:18:23,560 still perform properly when you pull jeans coming back down the biggest 802 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:23,570 jeans coming back down the biggest 803 00:18:23,570 --> 00:18:31,090 jeans coming back down the biggest concern that we have out there somewhere 804 00:18:31,090 --> 00:18:31,100 concern that we have out there somewhere 805 00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:33,370 concern that we have out there somewhere where as he's coming back his vestibular 806 00:18:33,370 --> 00:18:33,380 where as he's coming back his vestibular 807 00:18:33,380 --> 00:18:35,440 where as he's coming back his vestibular system causes them to get uncoordinated 808 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:35,450 system causes them to get uncoordinated 809 00:18:35,450 --> 00:18:37,539 system causes them to get uncoordinated and he loses that programming that's 810 00:18:37,539 --> 00:18:37,549 and he loses that programming that's 811 00:18:37,549 --> 00:18:39,010 and he loses that programming that's been built into them over years and 812 00:18:39,010 --> 00:18:39,020 been built into them over years and 813 00:18:39,020 --> 00:18:41,500 been built into them over years and years and years of training and so he 814 00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:41,510 years and years of training and so he 815 00:18:41,510 --> 00:18:45,940 years and years of training and so he makes a mistake on the landing what we 816 00:18:45,940 --> 00:18:45,950 makes a mistake on the landing what we 817 00:18:45,950 --> 00:18:47,860 makes a mistake on the landing what we do to make sure that programming is good 818 00:18:47,860 --> 00:18:47,870 do to make sure that programming is good 819 00:18:47,870 --> 00:18:50,620 do to make sure that programming is good is we we work on it a lot pre-flight 820 00:18:50,620 --> 00:18:50,630 is we we work on it a lot pre-flight 821 00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:52,900 is we we work on it a lot pre-flight I've got over a thousand approaches in 822 00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:52,910 I've got over a thousand approaches in 823 00:18:52,910 --> 00:18:57,760 I've got over a thousand approaches in the shuttle training area seeing out the 824 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:57,770 the shuttle training area seeing out the 825 00:18:57,770 --> 00:18:59,680 the shuttle training area seeing out the window I've seen that the view looks 826 00:18:59,680 --> 00:18:59,690 window I've seen that the view looks 827 00:18:59,690 --> 00:19:03,960 window I've seen that the view looks just like the shuttle training area and 828 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:03,970 829 00:19:03,970 --> 00:19:07,140 just like the shuttle training error is 830 00:19:07,140 --> 00:19:07,150 just like the shuttle training error is 831 00:19:07,150 --> 00:19:11,169 just like the shuttle training error is that that programming in me is good as 832 00:19:11,169 --> 00:19:11,179 that that programming in me is good as 833 00:19:11,179 --> 00:19:14,740 that that programming in me is good as far as how long that that to my last I 834 00:19:14,740 --> 00:19:14,750 far as how long that that to my last I 835 00:19:14,750 --> 00:19:15,450 far as how long that that to my last I got 836 00:19:15,450 --> 00:19:15,460 got 837 00:19:15,460 --> 00:19:17,760 got it's probably out at 3040 days I know 838 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:17,770 it's probably out at 3040 days I know 839 00:19:17,770 --> 00:19:19,769 it's probably out at 3040 days I know I've gone as long as four months without 840 00:19:19,769 --> 00:19:19,779 I've gone as long as four months without 841 00:19:19,779 --> 00:19:21,750 I've gone as long as four months without planning the shuttle training and I 842 00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:21,760 planning the shuttle training and I 843 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,090 planning the shuttle training and I jumped in and everything works fine 844 00:19:24,090 --> 00:19:24,100 jumped in and everything works fine 845 00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:26,130 jumped in and everything works fine I make reasonable landings on my first 846 00:19:26,130 --> 00:19:26,140 I make reasonable landings on my first 847 00:19:26,140 --> 00:19:30,149 I make reasonable landings on my first attempt but we're still working on a lot 848 00:19:30,149 --> 00:19:30,159 attempt but we're still working on a lot 849 00:19:30,159 --> 00:19:32,370 attempt but we're still working on a lot of unknowns with the microgravity aspect 850 00:19:32,370 --> 00:19:32,380 of unknowns with the microgravity aspect 851 00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:34,350 of unknowns with the microgravity aspect and that's why we're doing kind of a 852 00:19:34,350 --> 00:19:34,360 and that's why we're doing kind of a 853 00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:36,480 and that's why we're doing kind of a gentle build-up that we've gone from 11 854 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:36,490 gentle build-up that we've gone from 11 855 00:19:36,490 --> 00:19:39,840 gentle build-up that we've gone from 11 days to 13 days to 16 days and maybe one 856 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:39,850 days to 13 days to 16 days and maybe one 857 00:19:39,850 --> 00:19:41,430 days to 13 days to 16 days and maybe one of these days we'll get out to 17 18 or 858 00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:41,440 of these days we'll get out to 17 18 or 859 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,570 of these days we'll get out to 17 18 or even longer 860 00:19:42,570 --> 00:19:42,580 even longer 861 00:19:42,580 --> 00:19:44,340 even longer I think that's gonna be possible but 862 00:19:44,340 --> 00:19:44,350 I think that's gonna be possible but 863 00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:45,960 I think that's gonna be possible but it's we want to use our heads we want to 864 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:45,970 it's we want to use our heads we want to 865 00:19:45,970 --> 00:19:47,970 it's we want to use our heads we want to do it in a common-sense fashion and with 866 00:19:47,970 --> 00:19:47,980 do it in a common-sense fashion and with 867 00:19:47,980 --> 00:19:52,710 do it in a common-sense fashion and with a nice gradual buildup this is Michael 868 00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:52,720 a nice gradual buildup this is Michael 869 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,330 a nice gradual buildup this is Michael cabbage with Florida today and my 870 00:19:54,330 --> 00:19:54,340 cabbage with Florida today and my 871 00:19:54,340 --> 00:19:56,820 cabbage with Florida today and my question is also for commander Bowersox 872 00:19:56,820 --> 00:19:56,830 question is also for commander Bowersox 873 00:19:56,830 --> 00:19:58,769 question is also for commander Bowersox and it's kind of a follow-up of an 874 00:19:58,769 --> 00:19:58,779 and it's kind of a follow-up of an 875 00:19:58,779 --> 00:20:02,070 and it's kind of a follow-up of an earlier question on all prior shuttle 876 00:20:02,070 --> 00:20:02,080 earlier question on all prior shuttle 877 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,080 earlier question on all prior shuttle landings nASA has gotten c-band radar 878 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:04,090 landings nASA has gotten c-band radar 879 00:20:04,090 --> 00:20:06,360 landings nASA has gotten c-band radar tracking support from the Air Force's 880 00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:06,370 tracking support from the Air Force's 881 00:20:06,370 --> 00:20:08,820 tracking support from the Air Force's Eastern range but because of a Titan 882 00:20:08,820 --> 00:20:08,830 Eastern range but because of a Titan 883 00:20:08,830 --> 00:20:10,289 Eastern range but because of a Titan launch scheduled for Saturday night at 884 00:20:10,289 --> 00:20:10,299 launch scheduled for Saturday night at 885 00:20:10,299 --> 00:20:11,820 launch scheduled for Saturday night at the Air Station this will be the first 886 00:20:11,820 --> 00:20:11,830 the Air Station this will be the first 887 00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:13,549 the Air Station this will be the first landing not to have that data available 888 00:20:13,549 --> 00:20:13,559 landing not to have that data available 889 00:20:13,559 --> 00:20:16,200 landing not to have that data available does that create any additional concerns 890 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:16,210 does that create any additional concerns 891 00:20:16,210 --> 00:20:30,299 does that create any additional concerns for you we've looked into it and we 892 00:20:30,299 --> 00:20:30,309 for you we've looked into it and we 893 00:20:30,309 --> 00:20:31,590 for you we've looked into it and we think it's a reasonable thing to do 894 00:20:31,590 --> 00:20:31,600 think it's a reasonable thing to do 895 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,289 think it's a reasonable thing to do where we always like to do things the 896 00:20:34,289 --> 00:20:34,299 where we always like to do things the 897 00:20:34,299 --> 00:20:37,049 where we always like to do things the best way we possibly can and that's the 898 00:20:37,049 --> 00:20:37,059 best way we possibly can and that's the 899 00:20:37,059 --> 00:20:38,399 best way we possibly can and that's the c-band beacons when when they're 900 00:20:38,399 --> 00:20:38,409 c-band beacons when when they're 901 00:20:38,409 --> 00:20:41,130 c-band beacons when when they're available but when we have to go to a 902 00:20:41,130 --> 00:20:41,140 available but when we have to go to a 903 00:20:41,140 --> 00:20:42,960 available but when we have to go to a fallback we go to a fallback we try to 904 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:42,970 fallback we go to a fallback we try to 905 00:20:42,970 --> 00:20:44,580 fallback we go to a fallback we try to be flexible that's what we're doing at 906 00:20:44,580 --> 00:20:44,590 be flexible that's what we're doing at 907 00:20:44,590 --> 00:20:45,930 be flexible that's what we're doing at this situation just trying to be 908 00:20:45,930 --> 00:20:45,940 this situation just trying to be 909 00:20:45,940 --> 00:20:47,970 this situation just trying to be flexible with our operations and I think 910 00:20:47,970 --> 00:20:47,980 flexible with our operations and I think 911 00:20:47,980 --> 00:20:51,690 flexible with our operations and I think what we're doing is very reasonable we 912 00:20:51,690 --> 00:20:51,700 what we're doing is very reasonable we 913 00:20:51,700 --> 00:20:53,190 what we're doing is very reasonable we call Terry with the West Kentucky news 914 00:20:53,190 --> 00:20:53,200 call Terry with the West Kentucky news 915 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,889 call Terry with the West Kentucky news for Katie this mission seems to be going 916 00:20:55,889 --> 00:20:55,899 for Katie this mission seems to be going 917 00:20:55,899 --> 00:20:57,630 for Katie this mission seems to be going real smooth the stars of science is 918 00:20:57,630 --> 00:20:57,640 real smooth the stars of science is 919 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,060 real smooth the stars of science is concerned in fact I kind of liken it to 920 00:21:00,060 --> 00:21:00,070 concerned in fact I kind of liken it to 921 00:21:00,070 --> 00:21:02,789 concerned in fact I kind of liken it to it's like the Apollo 17 of shuttle 922 00:21:02,789 --> 00:21:02,799 it's like the Apollo 17 of shuttle 923 00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:06,210 it's like the Apollo 17 of shuttle missions can you comment on how 924 00:21:06,210 --> 00:21:06,220 missions can you comment on how 925 00:21:06,220 --> 00:21:08,639 missions can you comment on how sophisticated you think this is this 926 00:21:08,639 --> 00:21:08,649 sophisticated you think this is this 927 00:21:08,649 --> 00:21:16,080 sophisticated you think this is this missions been 928 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:16,090 929 00:21:16,090 --> 00:21:18,430 the last part I question I'll pick it he 930 00:21:18,430 --> 00:21:18,440 the last part I question I'll pick it he 931 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,619 the last part I question I'll pick it he restricted it yeah 932 00:21:20,619 --> 00:21:20,629 restricted it yeah 933 00:21:20,629 --> 00:21:23,169 restricted it yeah can you comment on how how sophisticated 934 00:21:23,169 --> 00:21:23,179 can you comment on how how sophisticated 935 00:21:23,179 --> 00:21:25,749 can you comment on how how sophisticated you think this mission is in the way of 936 00:21:25,749 --> 00:21:25,759 you think this mission is in the way of 937 00:21:25,759 --> 00:21:40,619 you think this mission is in the way of being a complex science mission 938 00:21:40,619 --> 00:21:40,629 939 00:21:40,629 --> 00:21:42,459 experiments we have on board 940 00:21:42,459 --> 00:21:42,469 experiments we have on board 941 00:21:42,469 --> 00:21:44,680 experiments we have on board and we built a lot of contingency time 942 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:44,690 and we built a lot of contingency time 943 00:21:44,690 --> 00:21:46,989 and we built a lot of contingency time into our time to take care of that well 944 00:21:46,989 --> 00:21:46,999 into our time to take care of that well 945 00:21:46,999 --> 00:21:48,190 into our time to take care of that well we haven't used any of that for 946 00:21:48,190 --> 00:21:48,200 we haven't used any of that for 947 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,049 we haven't used any of that for contingency so we've been able to 948 00:21:50,049 --> 00:21:50,059 contingency so we've been able to 949 00:21:50,059 --> 00:21:51,849 contingency so we've been able to collect a lot of data I think that we 950 00:21:51,849 --> 00:21:51,859 collect a lot of data I think that we 951 00:21:51,859 --> 00:22:03,060 collect a lot of data I think that we weren't expected to get captain Coleman 952 00:22:03,060 --> 00:22:03,070 weren't expected to get captain Coleman 953 00:22:03,070 --> 00:22:05,200 weren't expected to get captain Coleman training for Spacelab mission of course 954 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:05,210 training for Spacelab mission of course 955 00:22:05,210 --> 00:22:07,359 training for Spacelab mission of course is a real sprint for a couple years you 956 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:07,369 is a real sprint for a couple years you 957 00:22:07,369 --> 00:22:08,709 is a real sprint for a couple years you guys work around the clock and then you 958 00:22:08,709 --> 00:22:08,719 guys work around the clock and then you 959 00:22:08,719 --> 00:22:09,999 guys work around the clock and then you finally get up on the mission and you're 960 00:22:09,999 --> 00:22:10,009 finally get up on the mission and you're 961 00:22:10,009 --> 00:22:12,459 finally get up on the mission and you're working dual shifts to do all this you 962 00:22:12,459 --> 00:22:12,469 working dual shifts to do all this you 963 00:22:12,469 --> 00:22:14,109 working dual shifts to do all this you have a chance at all or have you had a 964 00:22:14,109 --> 00:22:14,119 have a chance at all or have you had a 965 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,609 have a chance at all or have you had a chance yet to think about versus reality 966 00:22:18,609 --> 00:22:18,619 chance yet to think about versus reality 967 00:22:18,619 --> 00:23:05,310 chance yet to think about versus reality and 968 00:23:05,310 --> 00:23:05,320 969 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,409 this is Michel cabbage with Florida 970 00:23:07,409 --> 00:23:07,419 this is Michel cabbage with Florida 971 00:23:07,419 --> 00:23:09,499 this is Michel cabbage with Florida today and this question is for anyone 972 00:23:09,499 --> 00:23:09,509 today and this question is for anyone 973 00:23:09,509 --> 00:23:11,820 today and this question is for anyone Debbie Brown in the aerospace education 974 00:23:11,820 --> 00:23:11,830 Debbie Brown in the aerospace education 975 00:23:11,830 --> 00:23:14,789 Debbie Brown in the aerospace education opposite JSC said the idea for holding 976 00:23:14,789 --> 00:23:14,799 opposite JSC said the idea for holding 977 00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:16,230 opposite JSC said the idea for holding the interactive sessions with high 978 00:23:16,230 --> 00:23:16,240 the interactive sessions with high 979 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,389 the interactive sessions with high school students first was suggested by 980 00:23:18,389 --> 00:23:18,399 school students first was suggested by 981 00:23:18,399 --> 00:23:20,850 school students first was suggested by crew members and my question is who 982 00:23:20,850 --> 00:23:20,860 crew members and my question is who 983 00:23:20,860 --> 00:23:22,799 crew members and my question is who initially came up with this idea and do 984 00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:22,809 initially came up with this idea and do 985 00:23:22,809 --> 00:23:24,480 initially came up with this idea and do you think this is a worthwhile teaching 986 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:24,490 you think this is a worthwhile teaching 987 00:23:24,490 --> 00:23:26,580 you think this is a worthwhile teaching method that should be repeated on future 988 00:23:26,580 --> 00:23:26,590 method that should be repeated on future 989 00:23:26,590 --> 00:23:35,360 method that should be repeated on future shuttle flights and on Space Station 990 00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:35,370 991 00:23:35,370 --> 00:23:39,330 because I'm the a commission I guess in 992 00:23:39,330 --> 00:23:39,340 because I'm the a commission I guess in 993 00:23:39,340 --> 00:23:43,950 because I'm the a commission I guess in a group but it's the one that we're 994 00:23:43,950 --> 00:23:43,960 a group but it's the one that we're 995 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,259 a group but it's the one that we're talking about how we all got here and in 996 00:23:46,259 --> 00:23:46,269 talking about how we all got here and in 997 00:23:46,269 --> 00:23:47,970 talking about how we all got here and in that course of the conversation decided 998 00:23:47,970 --> 00:23:47,980 that course of the conversation decided 999 00:23:47,980 --> 00:23:50,340 that course of the conversation decided that science isn't really for greets 1000 00:23:50,340 --> 00:23:50,350 that science isn't really for greets 1001 00:23:50,350 --> 00:23:52,680 that science isn't really for greets which is a general perception up against 1002 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:52,690 which is a general perception up against 1003 00:23:52,690 --> 00:23:54,269 which is a general perception up against people today and we thought we'd bring 1004 00:23:54,269 --> 00:23:54,279 people today and we thought we'd bring 1005 00:23:54,279 --> 00:23:57,029 people today and we thought we'd bring that home because young people look up 1006 00:23:57,029 --> 00:23:57,039 that home because young people look up 1007 00:23:57,039 --> 00:23:58,379 that home because young people look up to the astronaut corps we'd bring it 1008 00:23:58,379 --> 00:23:58,389 to the astronaut corps we'd bring it 1009 00:23:58,389 --> 00:23:59,820 to the astronaut corps we'd bring it home by bringing some of the science 1010 00:23:59,820 --> 00:23:59,830 home by bringing some of the science 1011 00:23:59,830 --> 00:24:01,139 home by bringing some of the science we're really doing which is world class 1012 00:24:01,139 --> 00:24:01,149 we're really doing which is world class 1013 00:24:01,149 --> 00:24:03,600 we're really doing which is world class science and have some of the kids do 1014 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:03,610 science and have some of the kids do 1015 00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:05,610 science and have some of the kids do very similar things and interact with 1016 00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:05,620 very similar things and interact with 1017 00:24:05,620 --> 00:24:08,340 very similar things and interact with them so it was really an idea that was 1018 00:24:08,340 --> 00:24:08,350 them so it was really an idea that was 1019 00:24:08,350 --> 00:24:11,340 them so it was really an idea that was bred from all of us at Kathy - it went 1020 00:24:11,340 --> 00:24:11,350 bred from all of us at Kathy - it went 1021 00:24:11,350 --> 00:24:13,980 bred from all of us at Kathy - it went forward with it and pushed it and we 1022 00:24:13,980 --> 00:24:13,990 forward with it and pushed it and we 1023 00:24:13,990 --> 00:24:16,049 forward with it and pushed it and we were able to get her on board and I has 1024 00:24:16,049 --> 00:24:16,059 were able to get her on board and I has 1025 00:24:16,059 --> 00:24:17,700 were able to get her on board and I has an activation and an educator hope we'll 1026 00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:17,710 an activation and an educator hope we'll 1027 00:24:17,710 --> 00:24:18,960 an activation and an educator hope we'll do it the future I hope the kids 1028 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:18,970 do it the future I hope the kids 1029 00:24:18,970 --> 00:24:21,539 do it the future I hope the kids benefited from but I certainly did and I 1030 00:24:21,539 --> 00:24:21,549 benefited from but I certainly did and I 1031 00:24:21,549 --> 00:24:23,279 benefited from but I certainly did and I think it's very important this country 1032 00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:23,289 think it's very important this country 1033 00:24:23,289 --> 00:24:24,779 think it's very important this country we keep these kids excited about math 1034 00:24:24,779 --> 00:24:24,789 we keep these kids excited about math 1035 00:24:24,789 --> 00:24:27,749 we keep these kids excited about math and science because that is will bring 1036 00:24:27,749 --> 00:24:27,759 and science because that is will bring 1037 00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:29,850 and science because that is will bring this country as a leader into the 21st 1038 00:24:29,850 --> 00:24:29,860 this country as a leader into the 21st 1039 00:24:29,860 --> 00:24:31,110 this country as a leader into the 21st century and we all have to keep that 1040 00:24:31,110 --> 00:24:31,120 century and we all have to keep that 1041 00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:33,419 century and we all have to keep that mind all the time but it was really 1042 00:24:33,419 --> 00:24:33,429 mind all the time but it was really 1043 00:24:33,429 --> 00:24:35,610 mind all the time but it was really great and we had a lot of fun and I just 1044 00:24:35,610 --> 00:24:35,620 great and we had a lot of fun and I just 1045 00:24:35,620 --> 00:24:39,480 great and we had a lot of fun and I just hope the kids good as well okay you have 1046 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:39,490 hope the kids good as well okay you have 1047 00:24:39,490 --> 00:24:41,549 hope the kids good as well okay you have said you had two dreams one to be a 1048 00:24:41,549 --> 00:24:41,559 said you had two dreams one to be a 1049 00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:44,039 said you had two dreams one to be a teacher and one to fly in space now 1050 00:24:44,039 --> 00:24:44,049 teacher and one to fly in space now 1051 00:24:44,049 --> 00:24:45,720 teacher and one to fly in space now you've done both do you have a third 1052 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:45,730 you've done both do you have a third 1053 00:24:45,730 --> 00:24:54,180 you've done both do you have a third dream not the least of which is to grow 1054 00:24:54,180 --> 00:24:54,190 dream not the least of which is to grow 1055 00:24:54,190 --> 00:24:56,700 dream not the least of which is to grow some of the largest for perfect zeolites 1056 00:24:56,700 --> 00:24:56,710 some of the largest for perfect zeolites 1057 00:24:56,710 --> 00:24:58,769 some of the largest for perfect zeolites that haven't been grown hope to do that 1058 00:24:58,769 --> 00:24:58,779 that haven't been grown hope to do that 1059 00:24:58,779 --> 00:25:00,810 that haven't been grown hope to do that on this flight there are a lot of things 1060 00:25:00,810 --> 00:25:00,820 on this flight there are a lot of things 1061 00:25:00,820 --> 00:25:02,639 on this flight there are a lot of things there had to be as an individual I have 1062 00:25:02,639 --> 00:25:02,649 there had to be as an individual I have 1063 00:25:02,649 --> 00:25:04,470 there had to be as an individual I have a lot of development to do I need to 1064 00:25:04,470 --> 00:25:04,480 a lot of development to do I need to 1065 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,899 a lot of development to do I need to talk to a lot of kids which I hope to do 1066 00:25:06,899 --> 00:25:06,909 talk to a lot of kids which I hope to do 1067 00:25:06,909 --> 00:25:09,570 talk to a lot of kids which I hope to do and not to get them excited about math 1068 00:25:09,570 --> 00:25:09,580 and not to get them excited about math 1069 00:25:09,580 --> 00:25:11,669 and not to get them excited about math and science and the future is out here 1070 00:25:11,669 --> 00:25:11,679 and science and the future is out here 1071 00:25:11,679 --> 00:25:13,409 and science and the future is out here as I look at the cosmos and see what's 1072 00:25:13,409 --> 00:25:13,419 as I look at the cosmos and see what's 1073 00:25:13,419 --> 00:25:16,259 as I look at the cosmos and see what's around I realized that the universe is 1074 00:25:16,259 --> 00:25:16,269 around I realized that the universe is 1075 00:25:16,269 --> 00:25:18,180 around I realized that the universe is really our playground and we need to 1076 00:25:18,180 --> 00:25:18,190 really our playground and we need to 1077 00:25:18,190 --> 00:25:19,139 really our playground and we need to take advantage of it 1078 00:25:19,139 --> 00:25:19,149 take advantage of it 1079 00:25:19,149 --> 00:25:20,759 take advantage of it to get kids excited about it moving 1080 00:25:20,759 --> 00:25:20,769 to get kids excited about it moving 1081 00:25:20,769 --> 00:25:22,289 to get kids excited about it moving forward so that's one of the things that 1082 00:25:22,289 --> 00:25:22,299 forward so that's one of the things that 1083 00:25:22,299 --> 00:25:23,759 forward so that's one of the things that one of the messages are becoming 1084 00:25:23,759 --> 00:25:23,769 one of the messages are becoming 1085 00:25:23,769 --> 00:25:27,509 one of the messages are becoming hopeless okay 1086 00:25:27,509 --> 00:25:27,519 hopeless okay 1087 00:25:27,519 --> 00:25:29,269 hopeless okay commander how has now been is a 1088 00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:29,279 commander how has now been is a 1089 00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:37,859 commander how has now been is a companion in space I can't imagine a 1090 00:25:37,859 --> 00:25:37,869 companion in space I can't imagine a 1091 00:25:37,869 --> 00:25:41,399 companion in space I can't imagine a better crew member on board it now of 1092 00:25:41,399 --> 00:25:41,409 better crew member on board it now of 1093 00:25:41,409 --> 00:25:42,749 better crew member on board it now of course prejudiced people they're both 1094

1134 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:45,129 was not expecting some things that they 1135 00:26:45,129 --> 00:26:46,589 was not expecting some things that they thought were gonna expect because I just 1136 00:26:46,589 --> 00:26:46,599 thought were gonna expect because I just 1137 00:26:46,599 --> 00:26:48,119 thought were gonna expect because I just felt that that probably wouldn't happen 1138 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:48,129 felt that that probably wouldn't happen 1139 00:26:48,129 --> 00:26:51,839 felt that that probably wouldn't happen and sure you know experience always good 1140

00:26:53,639 --> 00:26:53,649 so a lot of these folks have experience 1143 00:26:53,649 --> 00:26:54,899 so a lot of these folks have experience that's what they learn about the crews 1144 00:26:54,899 --> 00:26:54,909 that's what they learn about the crews 1145 00:26:54,909 --> 00:26:57,989 that's what they learn about the crews and so what you have is training that 1146 00:26:57,989 --> 00:26:57,999 and so what you have is training that 1147 00:26:57,999 --> 00:26:59,849 and so what you have is training that really is specific for what you're doing 1148 00:26:59,849 --> 00:26:59,859 really is specific for what you're doing 1149 00:26:59,859 --> 00:27:01,409 really is specific for what you're doing and it's very very good and I haven't 1150 00:27:01,409 -->
