1
00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:36,950
okay well this one um i do definitely

2
00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:39,360
have a better view from up here

3
00:00:42,790 --> 00:00:41,280
through the microscope and what you see

4
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:42,800
in the middle the big spot in the middle

5
00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:45,520
is actually a spot where the where there

6
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:47,280
is no drop in other ones we have a drop

7
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:49,440
with a hole in it and you can actually

8
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:51,360
see i can see um

9
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:52,960
small crystals

10
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,760
on

11
00:00:58,310 --> 00:00:55,680
as i focus up and down through the drop

12
00:00:59,990 --> 00:00:58,320
i can see a small needle-like crystals

13
00:01:01,830 --> 00:01:00,000
all the way around the edge of that drop

14
00:01:04,229 --> 00:01:01,840
many many many of them

15
00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:04,239
i see actually a lot of crystals some of

16
00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:06,960
them are very nice they're long and thin

17
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:13,190
i think that one on the left they can

18
00:01:17,350 --> 00:01:15,520
see also is that on the far left is

19
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:17,360
probably the biggest one

20
00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:19,680
and but there are several that size and

21
00:01:23,429 --> 00:01:21,920
i'm still trying to discern if all the

22
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:23,439
stuff in the background which is pretty

23
00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:25,280
dark to them and trying to see if that

24
00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:28,400
is precipitate or if those are crystals

25
00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:29,360
but i think i'm going to look at the

26
00:01:33,429 --> 00:01:31,119
other samples and see if this gives me

27
00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:33,439
any clues if their crystals are very

28
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:34,880
very very small but i think it's

29
00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:41,030
in the middle of this picture you can

30
00:01:44,069 --> 00:01:42,399
see

31
00:01:45,510 --> 00:01:44,079
a couple of them about four of them that

32
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:45,520
have grown together but for the most

33
00:01:49,030 --> 00:01:47,200
part these are isolated and seem to be

34
00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:49,040
growing by themselves although you can

35
00:02:06,630 --> 00:01:51,759
also see the smattering of smaller

36
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:09,749
the crystals are not as big

37
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:11,760
it actually does not look really nearly

38
00:02:22,949 --> 00:02:19,910
i don't see

39
00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:22,959
precipitants per se although it's tough

40
00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:24,480
to say because the crystals there's a

41
00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:26,400
lot of very very very small crystals

42
00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:44,390
friends actually wearing what everyone

43
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:45,920
has decided is their favorite shirt

44
00:03:04,869 --> 00:02:58,070
you can tell it's not the first time

45
00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:06,070
yeah but it's probably the first time

46
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:41,110
you've got a point there

47
00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:43,110
i'm doing well do you guys have a

48
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:52,710
not yet

49
00:04:02,309 --> 00:03:54,470
well i was hoping to send you up some

50
00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,470
i thought you

51
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:06,319
might might all be interested in what

52
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:08,080
we're doing with this uh

53
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:10,560
video that you're downlinking to us

54
00:04:14,229 --> 00:04:11,920
um

55
00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:14,239
probably uh you get a frame up there

56
00:04:17,670 --> 00:04:15,439
about every

57
00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:17,680
eight or sixteen seconds and uh things

58
00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:19,359
seems to go pretty slow but what we've

59
00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:20,639
done is uh

60
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:22,720
taken these images and made a

61
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:25,440
a movie of the uh speed up movie

62
00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:28,560
about times 24 of the gfsc results and

63
00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:30,000
which you can see

64
00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:32,000
a lot of the evolution of these complex

65
00:04:35,110 --> 00:04:33,759
turbulent flows that we're interested in

66
00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:35,120
to learn about

67
00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:37,040
things like solar dynamics and mantle

68
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:45,270
so get out your popcorn here it goes

69
00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:46,390
okay could you go ahead and roll the

70
00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:54,150
um what you can see in this imagery is

71
00:04:58,469 --> 00:04:56,400
on the top of the frame is the equator

72
00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:58,479
of the gffc and the bottom

73
00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:01,120
of the frame is the pole

74
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:03,919
and if you look closely you can see

75
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:04,880
a lot of

76
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:06,800
structures that almost look vertical at

77
00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:08,240
the top of the picture and these are

78
00:05:11,590 --> 00:05:09,919
called the banana cells and they're the

79
00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:11,600
kind of pet for

80
00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:13,120
theorists of

81
00:05:16,629 --> 00:05:15,039
solar convection it's a model that has

82
00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,639
enough symmetry that the motions are

83
00:05:19,590 --> 00:05:18,240
fairly simple

84
00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:19,600
but what you can see as well is that

85
00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:21,280
there's a lot of turbulence on the lower

86
00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:22,960
half of the image

87
00:05:27,110 --> 00:05:24,720
and it's a bit surprising to us that

88
00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:27,120
this turbulence is so easy to excite and

89
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:29,360
spreads rapidly up from the south pole

90
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:31,759
which is at the bottom of this uh image

91
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:34,240
and comes up and erodes the uh

92
00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:36,639
the organized type of banana convection

93
00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:38,960
that we had thought we would be seeing

94
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:41,360
up near the equator

95
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:44,080
and columbia this is cfc standby for ga

96
00:05:51,189 --> 00:05:46,160
tv uplink of something we believe you'll

97
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:55,909
okay we uh we're standing by

98
00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:57,270
and for the record we're really

99
00:06:02,950 --> 00:05:59,120
interested in the gffc and the astro

100
00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:05,590
welcome to cleveland

101
00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:08,080
where the temperature is in the lower

102
00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:10,960
50s a couple of hours ago we had rain

103
00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:12,240
showers

104
00:06:16,469 --> 00:06:14,000
neither team took

105
00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:16,479
batting practice but the skies right now

106
00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,880
have cleared the game will start on time

107
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:20,639
the crowd's still filing into jacobs

108
00:06:23,590 --> 00:06:21,680
field for

109
00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:23,600
game five of the world series between

110
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:25,280
the atlanta braves and the cleveland

111
00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:26,800
indians with the braves leading in the

112
00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:27,840
series

113
00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:36,950
back at jacobs field an unusual first

114
00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:39,360
pitch ceremony tonight this was friday

115
00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:40,880
at cape canaveral the launching of the

116
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:42,560
space shuttle columbia and then earlier

117
00:06:48,070 --> 00:06:45,600
today commander ken bowersox aboard

118
00:06:49,589 --> 00:06:48,080
welcome aboard columbia we've been on

119
00:06:51,110 --> 00:06:49,599
orbit since flat friday conducting

120
00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:51,120
science experiments as part of the

121
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:53,440
united states microgravity laboratory

122
00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:54,800
but tonight our thoughts are with the

123
00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:57,199
national pastime to the braves and to

124
00:07:07,589 --> 00:06:59,199
the indians good luck in game five of

125
00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:09,510
and then they recreated the end of that

126
00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:11,840
throw here moments ago funny thing it

127
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:14,240
started out as a change up and wound up

128
00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:16,240
as a split finger you've heard of heavy

129
00:07:21,909 --> 00:07:19,680
fastballs that was weightless

130
00:07:24,070 --> 00:07:21,919
well ken bowersox and catherine thornton

131
00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:24,080
thanks very much for joining us this

132
00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:26,080
morning how's the view i know both of

133
00:07:30,230 --> 00:07:28,000
you have been up there a number of times

134
00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:30,240
uh the view still worth looking at to

135
00:07:36,309 --> 00:07:34,390
oh yeah the view from space is something

136
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:36,319
i could never get tired of we've had

137
00:07:39,749 --> 00:07:38,160
some exceptionally clear patches over

138
00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:39,759
the united states that's something new

139
00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:42,319
for me got to see my hometown in indiana

140
00:07:45,749 --> 00:07:44,240
lake michigan and

141
00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:45,759
the east coast is just gorgeous

142
00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:47,840
especially in new york

143
00:07:51,990 --> 00:07:49,759
well catherine this is your fourth trip

144
00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:52,000
up there any surprises as you look down

145
00:08:00,150 --> 00:07:58,869
now the only thing that

146
00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:00,160
that i would say is a negative about

147
00:08:03,670 --> 00:08:02,080
this flight is i spend a lot of time uh

148
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:03,680
where there are no windows we've had

149
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:05,360
some great passes over the united states

150
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:07,120
i've seen uh two or three of them

151
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:08,800
although it's been cloudy over the east

152
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:10,400
every time i've had a chance to look and

153
00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:11,919
i'm a little bit disappointed about that

154
00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:13,520
but we have another 10 days to go so

155
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:14,800
we'll get some great passes over the

156
00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:17,440
united states well that's right 10 days

157
00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:19,360
to go from the time of this interview a

158
00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:22,960
total of 16 days but seven people on

159
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:26,000
board like being in a small motel the

160
00:08:30,230 --> 00:08:28,240
bathrooms down the hall

161
00:08:35,430 --> 00:08:30,240
how are the accommodations with so many

162
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:36,709
ken and i

163
00:08:40,709 --> 00:08:38,880
were on a flight with seven people and

164
00:08:42,389 --> 00:08:40,719
four spacesuits about a year and a half

165
00:08:45,030 --> 00:08:42,399
ago and it was a lot more crowded then

166
00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:45,040
this is a luxury compared to

167
00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:46,959
having just the crew module to live in

168
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:49,760
we have essentially twice the volume and

169
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:51,440
because we're working two shifts we have

170
00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:53,519
half the people awake at any one time so

171
00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:54,959
there's lots of room to

172
00:08:58,949 --> 00:08:56,640
roam around in up here

173
00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:58,959
well that's right you're using the cargo

174
00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:01,279
bay which is what about 60 feet long

175
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:06,310
yeah that's correct it's about 15 feet

176
00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:07,680
by 60 feet

177
00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:08,959
but the lab module's a little bit

178
00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:10,320
shorter than that what is it kathy about

179
00:09:17,350 --> 00:09:15,190
well i want to ask you a couple of basic

180
00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:17,360
questions i know on the sky lab a few

181
00:09:21,190 --> 00:09:19,680
years back there was an experiment with

182
00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:21,200
a shower you don't have a shower on

183
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:23,120
board how do you people keep yourselves

184
00:09:32,389 --> 00:09:30,550
well uh we do a lot of sponge bathing

185
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:32,399
and that works pretty well you just soap

186
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:34,720
up a rag and wipe it over your body and

187
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:37,120
then you wet a clean rag with fresh

188
00:09:40,389 --> 00:09:38,880
water and rub that over your body

189
00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:40,399
something else you can do if you're if

190
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:41,920
you have a lot of time is just squirt

191
00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:43,360
water on your skin

192
00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:45,360
the uh the water sticks to you because

193
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:46,720
of the surface tension which is one of

194
00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:48,560
the things we're studying in our science

195
00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:50,720
experiments in the back and then you can

196
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:52,959
sort of rub with your fingers to get the

197
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:54,320
soap to come up into the water and then

198
00:09:58,470 --> 00:09:56,640
wipe off with a towel it's almost as

199
00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:58,480
good as a shower

200
00:10:02,389 --> 00:10:00,080
but i don't think you could ever beat a

201
00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:02,399
good solid earth shower

202
00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:04,720
well i'm sure that's true you know nasa

203
00:10:08,550 --> 00:10:06,640
is always bragging about the improvement

204
00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:08,560
of the food on board the shuttle and i

205
00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:09,920
remember the days when you used to

206
00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:12,480
squeeze it out of a tube is it all that

207
00:10:20,069 --> 00:10:19,030
the nowadays pretty good the best thing

208
00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:20,079
we have on board i think though is

209
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:22,240
peanut butter and uh we just put it on

210
00:10:25,829 --> 00:10:24,000
tortillas because we don't use bread up

211
00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:25,839
here because it crumbles and we don't

212
00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:27,120
want to make a lot of crumbs in the air

213
00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:28,800
so we have peanut butter burritos quite

214
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:29,839
a bit

215
00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:31,600
peanut butter burritos and catherine

216
00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:33,200
you're telling me the food is good up

217
00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:34,800
there if that's the best you have i

218
00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:37,120
wonder

219
00:10:41,990 --> 00:10:39,920
i would like a pizza

220
00:10:43,670 --> 00:10:42,000
well put out a call and see whether they

221
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:43,680
deliver

222
00:10:47,430 --> 00:10:45,760
let's move on to some of the science

223
00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:47,440
you're growing potatoes up there you're

224
00:10:56,150 --> 00:10:54,389
we think it's going pretty well we do a

225
00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:56,160
video downlink of the condition of the

226
00:10:59,350 --> 00:10:57,920
plants every day and

227
00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:59,360
the pi's on the ground seem to be very

228
00:11:02,389 --> 00:11:00,880
happy with the condition

229
00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:02,399
that they're growing in

230
00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:04,480
now what's the question you're trying to

231
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:06,880
determine whether food can indeed be

232
00:11:16,389 --> 00:11:14,630
i think there are a couple objectives of

233
00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:16,399
that one is to

234
00:11:21,350 --> 00:11:19,440
test an enclosed environment for growing

235
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:21,360
plants up here they give them all the

236
00:11:24,470 --> 00:11:22,720
nutrients that they need the carbon

237
00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:24,480
dioxide and take away the oxygen and the

238
00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:25,680
ethylene

239
00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:27,440
the other thing is to look at how the

240
00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:28,880
plants are actually growing to get them

241
00:11:31,829 --> 00:11:30,399
back on the ground and take a look at

242
00:11:33,350 --> 00:11:31,839
them there's

243
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:33,360
some evidence that perhaps they don't

244
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:35,120
grow in exactly the same way that the

245
00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:36,720
starch is not synthesized in the same

246
00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:38,640
way as it is in gravity so that's

247
00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:39,920
something that we'll learn about after

248
00:11:44,710 --> 00:11:42,560
we get back to this mission so ken

249
00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:44,720
you're not going to uh chop them up boil

250
00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:46,160
them for mashed potatoes or have some

251
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:48,000
french fries while you're taking this

252
00:11:54,389 --> 00:11:52,550
we have to hold some of the crew members

253
00:11:56,710 --> 00:11:54,399
back they want to eat those potatoes but

254
00:11:58,629 --> 00:11:56,720
we're not going to let them okay one of

255
00:12:00,550 --> 00:11:58,639
the big problems of course is adapting

256
00:12:02,069 --> 00:12:00,560
to weightlessness and frequently

257
00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:02,079
astronauts

258
00:12:07,269 --> 00:12:03,760
the dreaded

259
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:07,279
sas space adaptation syndrome i know you

260
00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:08,720
don't like to talk about the health of

261
00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:10,720
the astronauts during a flight but uh is

262
00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:15,590
yeah we're all doing great everybody

263
00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:17,440
feels good and uh

264
00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:19,040
i was amazed we all felt good from the

265
00:12:22,710 --> 00:12:20,800
very beginning of the mission we had

266
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:22,720
five brand new guys on board so they

267
00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:23,680
didn't really know how they were going

268
00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:24,880
to feel but

269
00:12:28,069 --> 00:12:26,720
i think we had some really super luck on

270
00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:28,079
this flight and

271
00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:30,079
nobody felt bad at all

272
00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:32,240
you've got a lot of free time i think

273
00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:34,000
built into your schedule or at least

274
00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:36,560
that's what the nasa schedule says free

275
00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:38,399
time for the astronauts because after

276
00:12:42,389 --> 00:12:40,079
all you're going to be up there for 16

277
00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:42,399
days what are you doing or planning to

278
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:49,910
well the other day we spent some time

279
00:12:55,030 --> 00:12:54,000
doing a pio event for the world series

280
00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:55,040
we've been

281
00:12:58,389 --> 00:12:57,200
taking some special photographs and uh

282
00:13:00,069 --> 00:12:58,399
all of us are

283
00:13:02,389 --> 00:13:00,079
spending that time to

284
00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:02,399
to do just the things that we want to do

285
00:13:05,670 --> 00:13:03,920
it's not that we don't have work to do

286
00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:05,680
but we kind of get to elect what work we

287
00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:07,920
do so we may run around and do a special

288
00:13:12,870 --> 00:13:10,959
project clean up a special area or maybe

289
00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:12,880
tape a video for our family when we get

290
00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:14,079
back but

291
00:13:17,269 --> 00:13:15,440
it's just nice to be able to plan your

292
00:13:19,350 --> 00:13:17,279
own time once in a while

293
00:13:21,670 --> 00:13:19,360
i uh i guess i should explain that you

294
00:13:23,829 --> 00:13:21,680
sort of threw out the first ball for uh

295
00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:23,839
one of the world series games and i saw

296
00:13:28,069 --> 00:13:25,839
it here on earth and it worked well

297
00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:28,079
after you tossed the ball towards the

298
00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:30,959
camera on the columbia they cut to a

299
00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:33,600
ball falling down onto the field and it

300
00:13:41,829 --> 00:13:39,829
so well done

301
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:41,839
well great i'm glad you enjoyed it uh my

302
00:13:45,030 --> 00:13:43,440
crew up here was saying i was having

303
00:13:46,790 --> 00:13:45,040
control problems though i don't think

304
00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:46,800
they like my pitching

305
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:48,240
well even some of the pitchers in the

306
00:13:52,069 --> 00:13:50,240
world series have control problems so

307
00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:52,079
don't worry about that talking about the

308
00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:53,920
free time catherine do you bring books

309
00:13:58,150 --> 00:13:56,320
do you uh have an opportunity to sit and

310
00:13:59,990 --> 00:13:58,160
read a book or is your temptation to

311
00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:00,000
always go for that window whenever

312
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:06,550
now we probably don't have as much free

313
00:14:09,189 --> 00:14:07,920
time as the schedule looks there's

314
00:14:11,590 --> 00:14:09,199
always something that needs to be done

315
00:14:13,750 --> 00:14:11,600
but i did have about three or four hours

316
00:14:15,110 --> 00:14:13,760
yesterday i believe it was and i spent

317
00:14:17,430 --> 00:14:15,120
most of time looking out the window i

318
00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:17,440
just never get tired of looking at even

319
00:14:21,269 --> 00:14:19,120
passes over the oceans you can enjoy

320
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:21,279
looking at different cloud features and

321
00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:22,639
watching the world go by and the

322
00:14:25,590 --> 00:14:24,160
nighttime passes are particularly

323
00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:25,600
spectacular if you turn out all the

324
00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:27,680
lights you can look at the stars we can

325
00:14:32,550 --> 00:14:30,320
see the shuttle glow on the windward

326
00:14:34,470 --> 00:14:32,560
side of the shuttle and it's it's

327
00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:34,480
something you just can't get tired of

328
00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:36,320
well catherine thornton and ken bowersox

329
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:38,240
thanks very much for being with us i was

330
00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:40,240
delighted to have this opportunity and

331
00:14:45,189 --> 00:14:43,360
so we were all delighted here on

332
00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:45,199
world news this morning in houston this

333
00:15:34,790 --> 00:14:48,000
is abc news in new york signing off and

334
00:15:38,949 --> 00:15:36,710
kathy thornton uh aboard the shuttle

335
00:15:40,949 --> 00:15:38,959
columbia currently up upping or

336
00:15:44,470 --> 00:15:40,959
increasing the amount of

337
00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:44,480
power being placed to the uh

338
00:15:48,150 --> 00:15:47,040
the heater element in the experiment

339
00:16:06,790 --> 00:15:48,160
chamber

340
00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:08,550
this particular experiment very

341
00:16:11,829 --> 00:16:10,079
important to the

342
00:16:13,990 --> 00:16:11,839
experiment team the science team from

343
00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:14,000
case western uh university

344
00:16:18,550 --> 00:16:16,000
because uh both two and three centimeter

345
00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:18,560
diameter chambers are not possible

346
00:16:25,030 --> 00:16:21,279
uh to evaluate or to conduct experiment

347
00:16:27,030 --> 00:16:25,040
runs uh while on the ground on earth

348
00:16:30,310 --> 00:16:27,040
on earth it is only possible to run this

349
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:30,320
type of experiment with 1.2 centimeter

350
00:16:37,509 --> 00:16:34,720
size or diameter cylinder chambers

351
00:16:39,030 --> 00:16:37,519
that's the environment of the space lab

352
00:16:41,990 --> 00:16:39,040
permitting the
