1
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:28,070
atlantis houston to our favorite crew

2
00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:33,990
and my favorite crew says good morning

3
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:35,519
back thanks a lot for the wake up and

4
00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:37,440
thanks for allison for the song and the

5
00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:56,949
brent we're uh

6
00:03:02,710 --> 00:02:58,400
looking at both you there on the flight

7
00:04:32,550 --> 00:03:03,830
okay if it's okay we'll bring them on

8
00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:33,749
i mean if you want we can power them

9
00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:35,680
down and then uh death cream and power

10
00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:36,800
back up but if we're not going to take

11
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:43,189
it doesn't seem necessary

12
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:45,680
but we copy we're looking to see

13
00:04:49,230 --> 00:04:46,960
that the gps

14
00:05:07,029 --> 00:04:49,240
information overload the disk is has

15
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:09,350
okay we copy we're just puzzling over

16
00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:10,800
your call and

17
00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:12,320
wanted to make sure that we're

18
00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:14,400
configured properly for the gps in this

19
00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:16,400
troubleshoot procedure that's timeline a

20
00:05:21,189 --> 00:05:19,759
little before 2300.

21
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:21,199
yeah i'll bring

22
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:33,990
i guess

23
00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:34,880
hello

24
00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:37,120
terry chris how are you all doing over

25
00:05:41,909 --> 00:05:40,320
in the chamber this is john blaha

26
00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:41,919
we have you loud and clear john thanks

27
00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:43,759
for the call we also can see you on the

28
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:45,680
monitor in front of us

29
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:48,400
you asked me what did i think about the

30
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:50,160
how did that go with the bps and the

31
00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:52,400
cartilage is that correct

32
00:06:00,870 --> 00:05:58,310
okay uh well first of all i'll tell you

33
00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:00,880
what uh i think that experiment in a

34
00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:03,039
broad context

35
00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:05,440
really shows the value of long duration

36
00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:06,720
space flight

37
00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:08,960
uh well let me explain

38
00:06:12,629 --> 00:06:10,479
the people on the ground had done a

39
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:12,639
fantastic job designing it and

40
00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:15,440
everything and uh had we tested it on

41
00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:18,080
the shuttle uh we would have flown a two

42
00:06:22,469 --> 00:06:19,520
or three week flight and we would have

43
00:06:23,430 --> 00:06:22,479
landed and thought everything was just

44
00:06:25,749 --> 00:06:23,440
great

45
00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:25,759
as it turns out about four weeks into

46
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:27,759
the flight

47
00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:30,400
the air that had been

48
00:06:33,909 --> 00:06:32,960
processing when we mixed media in the

49
00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:33,919
bag

50
00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:36,160
there was no air and there's special

51
00:06:40,309 --> 00:06:38,000
water that i had brought up and when i

52
00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:40,319
mixed that water with the media just

53
00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:42,400
like and then i noticed all fluids do it

54
00:06:45,830 --> 00:06:43,680
in space

55
00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:45,840
it just seems to create bubbles

56
00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:46,800
and

57
00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:49,440
over a period of uh

58
00:06:53,510 --> 00:06:51,520
four weeks it took that long for the

59
00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:53,520
bubble to propagate through the whole

60
00:06:57,670 --> 00:06:55,919
system and finally get into the vessel

61
00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:57,680
and when i saw the bubbles first in the

62
00:07:02,469 --> 00:07:00,240
vessel i was really alarmed and of

63
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:02,479
course everybody on the ground was

64
00:07:05,589 --> 00:07:04,000
but then the people on the ground as

65
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:05,599
usual came up with all sorts of

66
00:07:09,510 --> 00:07:07,520
procedures

67
00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:09,520
and then we opened up the box and tried

68
00:07:13,589 --> 00:07:11,759
to evaluate the system and

69
00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:13,599
the bottom line is

70
00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:17,840
we ended up having to manually feed the

71
00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:19,440
flash media

72
00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:22,319
and then we'd make our samples at the

73
00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:25,120
end of a period right before we i mixed

74
00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:30,790
so we could tell the health of the media

75
00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:33,440
so uh no that was a very

76
00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:35,599
good experiment as it turns out i think

77
00:07:39,510 --> 00:07:38,000
it was very successful and the cartilage

78
00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:39,520
continued to grow and you know as

79
00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:41,599
cartilage from a cow's knee

80
00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:43,520
and uh but we just had to get the human

81
00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:46,160
being involved so that experiment as it

82
00:07:50,150 --> 00:07:48,080
turns out i know it wasn't intended it

83
00:07:53,589 --> 00:07:50,160
showed the value of long-duration space

84
00:07:55,950 --> 00:07:53,599
flight as well as human involvement

85
00:07:58,790 --> 00:07:55,960
okay john this is fred smith again uh

86
00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:58,800
congratulations congratulations to you

87
00:08:04,629 --> 00:08:00,960
my question is dealing more with on the

88
00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:04,639
psychological aspects of long duration

89
00:08:09,830 --> 00:08:07,440
we're also doing some evaluation

90
00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:09,840
psychological evaluations for our

91
00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:12,160
tests here i was wondering were there

92
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:14,400
any some things that you found helpful

93
00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:15,440
in uh

94
00:08:20,309 --> 00:08:17,680
making your stay more enjoyable for your

95
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:20,319
for the duration of your mission

96
00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:22,720
on mirror

97
00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:25,280
yes i understand you know you're talking

98
00:08:30,550 --> 00:08:27,599
about something now that i think is uh

99
00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:30,560
crucial uh to a uh

100
00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:33,200
long duration flight be it a flight on a

101
00:08:38,149 --> 00:08:35,120
space station with an international crew

102
00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:38,159
and i stress that international crew or

103
00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:39,120
a

104
00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:42,719
crew

105
00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:45,120
when you put people together who are

106
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:47,440
from different cultures

107
00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:50,640
cultures and who have different

108
00:08:57,269 --> 00:08:54,000
language as their primary language

109
00:08:59,829 --> 00:08:57,279
you even add to the psychological

110
00:09:01,750 --> 00:08:59,839
problem for example the four of you

111
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:01,760
will or will not experience there in

112
00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:03,920
your laboratory on the ground and in

113
00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:04,800
fact

114
00:09:09,670 --> 00:09:07,120
i think you could think of next time you

115
00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:09,680
do something like this try and put

116
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:11,920
some people from different nationalities

117
00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:13,040
together

118
00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:14,240
and

119
00:09:18,710 --> 00:09:16,560
who maybe don't speak the common

120
00:09:20,949 --> 00:09:18,720
language real well

121
00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:20,959
because that introduces i think another

122
00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:23,279
element of psychological

123
00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:25,600
pressure and stress

124
00:09:29,910 --> 00:09:27,440
and in my case

125
00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:29,920
i had trained with two russian cosmonaut

126
00:09:33,350 --> 00:09:31,200
crews

127
00:09:35,910 --> 00:09:33,360
in star city for a year and a half and

128
00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:35,920
then unfortunately a week before their

129
00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:37,360
launch

130
00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:39,680
one of the people had a heart problem

131
00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:41,600
unfortunately it's not bad and he's

132
00:09:46,470 --> 00:09:44,240
happy now but uh so they had to change

133
00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:46,480
the crew so i flew with a completely

134
00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:49,360
different two russians than i had even

135
00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:50,399
trained with

136
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:53,600
which even added more to i think uh some

137
00:09:58,150 --> 00:09:56,480
stress in the first month of the fight

138
00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:58,160
so but you're on to something that's

139
00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:00,399
very very important uh

140
00:10:04,070 --> 00:10:02,480
uh but i think there are many parameters

141
00:10:05,750 --> 00:10:04,080
and we really need to think about it in

142
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:05,760
the future with our international space

143
00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:07,360
station for example we have two

144
00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:10,320
americans two russians

145
00:10:15,829 --> 00:10:12,640
a european and a uh

146
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:15,839
a person from say japan uh the people

147
00:10:17,269 --> 00:10:16,560
who

148
00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:17,279
are

149
00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:19,360
alone by themselves and don't have a

150
00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:21,760
friend from their own culture i think

151
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:23,360
are going to even have a little more

152
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:24,800
special kind of problem that we need to

153
00:10:29,269 --> 00:10:26,720
pay attention to

154
00:10:31,269 --> 00:10:29,279
yes i was wondering if you had any uh

155
00:10:32,389 --> 00:10:31,279
experiences or interactions with with

156
00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:32,399
the mere

157
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:34,240
uh life support systems

158
00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:39,829
absolutely

159
00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:41,600
you know you're right on it those life

160
00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:45,040
support systems are very important and

161
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:47,120
what i i would say a couple of things on

162
00:10:51,910 --> 00:10:49,200
that that i noticed working with my two

163
00:10:53,110 --> 00:10:51,920
russian colleagues valerie and sasha

164
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:53,120
first of all

165
00:10:57,269 --> 00:10:54,720
uh the crew

166
00:11:00,150 --> 00:10:57,279
probably needs to know those systems at

167
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:00,160
a deeper level than i remember i knew

168
00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:02,880
the ecosystems here on the shuttle

169
00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:05,040
uh when you're able to clean a vehicle

170
00:11:08,870 --> 00:11:06,959
up on the ground as we do and then go

171
00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:08,880
into orbit and stay for two weeks and

172
00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:10,640
come home and clean it up again that's

173
00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:13,040
one kind of level of knowledge

174
00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:14,720
if you're going to go up there

175
00:11:19,670 --> 00:11:17,600
on our new space station

176
00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:19,680
you need to go to a deeper level of

177
00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:22,959
knowledge and we need to make sure we

178
00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:25,040
have a couple of people trained on that

179
00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:28,480
new international space station uh into

180
00:11:32,949 --> 00:11:30,480
that deeper level of knowledge because

181
00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:32,959
when something goes wrong maybe the

182
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:35,600
spare part isn't there but if you have

183
00:11:38,150 --> 00:11:37,040
people who are trying to go into the

184
00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:38,160
boxes

185
00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:39,040
and

186
00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:41,360
take a small component out that's broken

187
00:11:45,750 --> 00:11:42,959
and actually fix it

188
00:11:47,269 --> 00:11:45,760
and then put it back in the box

189
00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:47,279
that's the type of training we're going

190
00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:49,120
to have to do and i saw a lot of that

191
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:50,800
