00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,310 spoke of a personal and professional desire to make a long 88 00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:34,320 desire to make a long 89 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,150 desire to make a long space flight and i just wonder if your 90 00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:36,160 space flight and i just wonder if your 91 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,590 space flight and i just wonder if your experience has met your expectation and 92 00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:39,600 experience has met your expectation and 93 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,909 experience has met your expectation and what you found most

translators because i spoke to russian 104 00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:59,039 translators because i spoke to russian 105 00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:01,510 translators because i spoke to russian then about the mere space station and 106 00:06:01,510 --> 00:06:01,520 then about the mere space station and 107 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,510 then about the mere space station and set a goal to play on it 108 00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:03,520 set a goal to play on it 109 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,390 set a goal to play on it and 110 00:06:04,390 --> 00:06:04,400 and 111 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,469 and now

things very different about 119 00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:17,990 of things very different about a space station and working on it than 120 00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:18,000 a space station and working on it than 121 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,390 a space station and working on it than there are on a space shuttle flight and 122 00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:20,400 there are on a space shuttle flight and 123 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,029 there are on a space shuttle flight and uh i'm kind of a dumb person i'm not an 124 00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:23,039 uh i'm kind of a dumb person i'm not an 125 00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:25,430 uh i'm kind of a dumb person i'm not an engineer i'm not a doctor 126 00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:25,440 engineer i'm not a doctor 127 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,590 engineer i'm not a doctor so i'm not a real smart person but the 128 00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:27,600 so i'm not a real smart person but the 129 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,430 so i'm not a real smart person but the way i can contribute to the space 130 00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:29,440 way i can contribute to the space 131 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,230 way i can contribute to the space program is as an operator and i know if 132 00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:32,240 program is as an operator and i know if 133 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,629 program is as an operator and i know if i wanted to continue to work in the 134 00:06:34,629 --> 00:06:34,639 i wanted to continue to work in the 135 00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:36,710 i wanted to continue to work in the space program i needed to experience 136 00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:36,720 space program i needed to experience 137 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,950 space program i needed to experience this myself so that i could contribute 138 00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:38,960 this myself so that i could contribute 139 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:45,029 this myself so that i could contribute and yes it has met those expectations 140 00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:45,039 141 00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:46,710 for john grunsfeld so we can give 142 00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:46,720 for john grunsfeld so we can give 143 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,710 for john grunsfeld so we can give somebody else a chance with the mic 144 00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:48,720 somebody else a chance with the mic 145 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,309 somebody else a chance with the mic from amateur astronomer to professional 146 00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:50,319 from amateur astronomer to professional 147 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:51,909 from amateur astronomer to professional astronomer have you had a chance to look 148 00:06:51,909 --> 00:06:51,919 astronomer have you had a chance to look 149 00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:54,390 astronomer have you had a chance to look at the comet yet uh take a photo of it 150 00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:54,400 at the comet yet uh take a photo of it 151 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,990 at the comet yet uh take a photo of it any impressions of it from space 152 00:06:57,990 --> 00:06:58,000 153 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,749 we've gone to the flight deck a couple 154 00:06:59,749 --> 00:06:59,759 we've gone to the flight deck a couple 155 00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:01,510 we've gone to the flight deck a couple of times and tried as you know we've 156 00:07:01,510 --> 00:07:01,520 of times and tried as you know we've 157 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,510 of times and tried as you know we've been really busy this flight and haven't 158 00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:03,520 been really busy this flight and haven't 159 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,909 been really busy this flight and haven't had a lot of opportunities and a couple 160 00:07:05,909 --> 00:07:05,919 had a lot of opportunities and a couple 161 00:07:05,919 --> 00:07:07,909 had a lot of opportunities and a couple of times we've tried the problem we ran 162 00:07:07,909 --> 00:07:07,919 of times we've tried the problem we ran 163 00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:10,230 of times we've tried the problem we ran into is that the sunrise comes so fast 164 00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:10,240 into is that the sunrise comes so fast 165 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,950 into is that the sunrise comes so fast that we our eyes have adjusted uh to 166 00:07:12,950 --> 00:07:12,960 that we our eyes have adjusted uh to 167 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,870 that we our eyes have adjusted uh to darkness just in time to see the sun 168 00:07:14,870 --> 00:07:14,880 darkness just in time to see the sun 169 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,309 darkness just in time to see the sun rise and so we haven't been able to see 170 00:07:16,309 --> 00:07:16,319 rise and so we haven't been able to see 171 00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:19,510 rise and so we haven't been able to see that yet 172 00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:19,520 173 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:29,589 for mike bake 174 00:07:29,589 --> 00:07:29,599 175 00:07:29,599 --> 00:07:32,710 we did watch comets last year we 176 00:07:32,710 --> 00:07:32,720 we did watch comets last year we 177 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,390 we did watch comets last year we had two of those last year 178 00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:38,400 179 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,749 one of them 180 00:07:39,749 --> 00:07:39,759 one of them 181 00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:42,550 one of them went behind the sun and is coming up now 182 00:07:42,550 --> 00:07:42,560 went behind the sun and is coming up now 183 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,029 went behind the sun and is coming up now and we're hoping to 184 00:07:45,029 --> 00:07:45,039 and we're hoping to 185 00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:47,430 and we're hoping to watch it several times 186 00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:47,440 watch it several times 187 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,070 watch it several times it's an outstanding comment 188 00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:52,080 189 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,469 and he was always receiving this 190 00:07:54,469 --> 00:07:54,479 and he was always receiving this 191 00:07:54,479 --> 00:07:56,550 and he was always receiving this information and finding them and showing 192 00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:56,560 information and finding them and showing 193 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,309 information and finding them and showing them 194 00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:58,319 them 195 00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:00,469 them so he's done very well with spotting 196 00:08:00,469 --> 00:08:00,479 so he's done very well with spotting 197 00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:03,270 so he's done very well with spotting those kind of things in space during our 198 00:08:03,270 --> 00:08:03,280 those kind of things in space during our 199 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,550 those kind of things in space during our long fight 200 00:08:06,550 --> 00:08:06,560 201 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,350 this is phil chan again for jeff 202 00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:09,360 this is phil chan again for jeff 203 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,710 this is phil chan again for jeff what can you discuss the problems you 204 00:08:10,710 --> 00:08:10,720 what can you discuss the problems you 205 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,790 what can you discuss the problems you had setting up the tvs experiment before 206 00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:12,800 had setting up the tvs experiment before 207 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,350 had setting up the tvs experiment before your docking day and uh what kind of 208 00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:15,360 your docking day and uh what kind of 209 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,629 your docking day and uh what kind of confidence do you have that you're going 210 00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:16,639 confidence do you have that you're going 211 00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:18,950 confidence do you have that you're going to be able to set it up on on the post 212 00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:18,960 to be able to set it up on on the post 213 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,909 to be able to set it up on on the post on docking day uh faster smoother better 214 00:08:21,909 --> 00:08:21,919 on docking day uh faster smoother better 215 00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:23,430 on docking day uh faster smoother better faster better cheaper than you did 216 00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:23,440 faster better cheaper than you did 217 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,550 faster better cheaper than you did previously and get the science back 218 00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:26,560 previously and get the science back 219 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,670 previously and get the science back the problems that we had when we 220 00:08:27,670 --> 00:08:27,680 the problems that we had when we 221 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,110 the problems that we had when we originally set it up were some knit 222 00:08:29,110 --> 00:08:29,120 originally set it up were some knit 223 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,830 originally set it up were some knit problems getting power to it and uh some 224 00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:31,840 problems getting power to it and uh some 225 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,589 problems getting power to it and uh some problems getting the data recorded we 226 00:08:33,589 --> 00:08:33,599 problems getting the data recorded we 227 00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:35,829 problems getting the data recorded we think we've resolved all those and 228 00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:35,839 think we've resolved all those and 229 00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:37,269 think we've resolved all those and obviously having been through it once 230 00:08:37,269 --> 00:08:37,279 obviously having been through it once 231 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:39,029 obviously having been through it once now it's very fresh in our memory how to 232 00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:39,039 now it's very fresh in our memory how to 233 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:40,630 now it's very fresh in our memory how to put it all together and how to stow 234 00:08:40,630 --> 00:08:40,640 put it all together and how to stow 235 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,149 put it all together and how to stow things on board so we think we can be 236 00:08:42,149 --> 00:08:42,159 things on board so we think we can be 237 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:43,909 things on board so we think we can be quite efficient the second time around 238 00:08:43,909 --> 00:08:43,919 quite efficient the second time around 239 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,150 quite efficient the second time around and with those problems now behind us we 240 00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:46,160 and with those problems now behind us we 241 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,750 and with those problems now behind us we expect it to go pretty smoothly and to 242 00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:47,760 expect it to go pretty smoothly and to 243 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,750 expect it to go pretty smoothly and to get a full data take for the folks on 244 00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:49,760 get a full data take for the folks on 245 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,949 get a full data take for the folks on the ground and i think it'll be very 246 00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:50,959 the ground and i think it'll be very 247 00:08:50,959 --> 00:08:54,070 the ground and i think it'll be very worthwhile 248 00:08:54,070 --> 00:08:54,080 249 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,670 and i guess brent you're the only one we 250 00:08:55,670 --> 00:08:55,680 and i guess brent you're the only one we 251 00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:57,670 and i guess brent you're the only one we haven't heard from yet uh any uh hope to 252 00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:57,680 haven't heard from yet uh any uh hope to 253 00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:00,150 haven't heard from yet uh any uh hope to get uh an extra day in space uh so you 254 00:09:00,150 --> 00:09:00,160 get uh an extra day in space uh so you 255 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,350 get uh an extra day in space uh so you can get additional tvs data 256 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:03,360 can get additional tvs data 257 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,110 can get additional tvs data well phil i think uh 258 00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:05,120 well phil i think uh 259 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,190 well phil i think uh all crews will tell you that uh if 260 00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:07,200 all crews will tell you that uh if 261 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,630 all crews will tell you that uh if they'll take an extra day in space if 262 00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:08,640 they'll take an extra day in space if 263 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,230 they'll take an extra day in space if they can get it 264 00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:10,240 they can get it 265 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,150 they can get it you know being up here is a real special 266 00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:12,160 you know being up here is a real special 267 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,910 you know being up here is a real special experience and and the chance to have an 268 00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:13,920 experience and and the chance to have an 269 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,910 experience and and the chance to have an extra day is one one you'll always jump 270 00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:15,920 extra day is one one you'll always jump 271 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:16,710 extra day is one one you'll always jump at 272 00:09:16,710 --> 00:09:16,720 at 273 00:09:16,720

and and to give us get as much data as 278 00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:24,080 and and to give us get as much data as 279 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,470 and and to give us get as much data as we can for tiva so if it means uh 280 00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:26,480 we can for tiva so if it means uh 281 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,310 we can for tiva so if it means uh running to you just one or two days 282 00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:28,320 running to you just one or two days 283 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,990 running to you just one or two days we're happy to do whatever it takes and 284 00:09:29,990 -->
