opening statement before we begin 4 00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:06,720 5 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,390 yes thanks for the opportunity welcome 6 00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:08,400 yes thanks for the opportunity welcome 7 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,109 yes thanks for the opportunity welcome on board columbia well we're just over 8 00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:11,119 on board columbia well we're just over 9 00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:12,870 on board columbia well we're just over the middle of the atlantic ocean headed 10 00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:12,880 the middle of the atlantic ocean headed 11 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,710 the middle of the atlantic ocean headed toward africa at this time 12 00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:14,720 toward africa at this time 13 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,710 toward africa at this time and as everybody knows by now this is 14 00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:16,720 and as everybody knows by now this is 15 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,310 and as everybody knows by now this is our next last day in space we'll be 16 00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:18,320 our next last day in space we'll be 17 00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:20,230 our next last day in space we'll be coming home early because of the fuel 18 00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:20,240 coming home early because of the fuel 19 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,830 coming home early because of the fuel cell degradation 20 00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:21,840 cell degradation 21 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,030 cell degradation but i think the message that we want to 22 00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:23,040 but i think the message that we want to 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,030 but i think the message that we want to leave everybody with from here on board 24 00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:25,040 leave everybody with from here on board 25 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,590 leave everybody with from here on board columbia is that uh in the short time 26 00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:27,600 columbia is that uh in the short time 27 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,429 columbia is that uh in the short time that we've been here thanks to the hard 28 00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:29,439 that we've been here thanks to the hard 29 00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:31,350 that we've been here thanks to the hard work of the payload people on board 30 00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:31,360 work of the payload people on board 31 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,990 work of the payload people on board columbia plus at huntsville 32 00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:34,000 columbia plus at huntsville 33 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,350 columbia plus at huntsville we've been able to put together a good 34 00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:35,360 we've been able to put together a good 35 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,710 we've been able to put together a good science program that we're going to 36 00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:36,720 science program that we're going to 37 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,149 science program that we're going to bring back some meaningful science in 38 00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:38,159 bring back some meaningful science in 39 00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:39,910 bring back some meaningful science in the short period that we will be we have 40 00:01:39,910 --> 00:01:39,920 the short period that we will be we have 41 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,910 the short period that we will be we have been here it's true that everybody is 42 00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:41,920 been here it's true that everybody is 43 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,109 been here it's true that everybody is disappointed that we are going to have 44 00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:43,119 disappointed that we are going to have 45 00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:44,950 disappointed that we are going to have to come home early not only the crew but 46 00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:44,960 to come home early not only the crew but 47 00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:46,789 to come home early not only the crew but the investigators and the researchers 48 00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:46,799 the investigators and the researchers 49 00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:47,990 the investigators and the researchers who science that we were up here to 50 00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:48,000 who science that we were up here to 51 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,670 who science that we were up here to accomplish 52 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:49,680 accomplish 53 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,149 accomplish but still i think we packed a lot into a 54 00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:52,159 but still i think we packed a lot into a 55 00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:54,469 but still i think we packed a lot into a short period of time with that is our 56 00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:54,479 short period of time with that is our 57 00:01:54,479 --> 00:01:55,910 short period of time with that is our kind of our theme i'd like to open up 58 00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:55,920 kind of our theme i'd like to open up 59 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,469 kind of our theme i'd like to open up for questions at this time 60 00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:58,479 for questions at this time 61 00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:01,270 for questions at this time uh did the shuttle crew have any sort of 62 00:02:01,270 --> 00:02:01,280 uh did the shuttle crew have any sort of 63 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,069 uh did the shuttle crew have any sort of a 64 00:02:02,069 --> 00:02:02,079 a 65 00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:04,950 a a role or a voice in the decision that 66 00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:04,960 a role or a voice in the decision that 67 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,670 a role or a voice in the decision that was made and if you did 68 00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:07,680 was made and if you did 69 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,750 was made and if you did could you describe that please 70 00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:13,760 71 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,830 well mission control has a lot more 72 00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:15,840 well mission control has a lot more 73 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,670 well mission control has a lot more insight than we do although we could 74 00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:17,680 insight than we do although we could 75 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,350 insight than we do although we could tell from our information here that fuel 76 00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:19,360 tell from our information here that fuel 77 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,910 tell from our information here that fuel cell 2 was suffering some degradation 78 00:02:21,910 --> 00:02:21,920 cell 2 was suffering some degradation 79 00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:23,910 cell 2 was suffering some degradation and it's really based upon the greater 80 00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:23,920 and it's really based upon the greater 81 00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:25,670 and it's really based upon the greater level of understanding of information 82 00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:25,680 level of understanding of information 83 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,150 level of understanding of information and expertise to be honest with you that 84 00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:28,160 and expertise to be honest with you that 85 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,070 and expertise to be honest with you that the mission management team acted upon 86 00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:30,080 the mission management team acted upon 87 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,670 the mission management team acted upon uh based on the input from the flight 88 00:02:31,670 --> 00:02:31,680 uh based on the input from the flight 89 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,670 uh based on the input from the flight controllers and the engineers and the uh 90 00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:33,680 controllers and the engineers and the uh 91 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:34,390 controllers and the engineers and the uh the 92 00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:34,400 the 93 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,910 the people actually built a fuel cell but 94 00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:35,920 people actually built a fuel cell but 95 00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:39,750 people actually built a fuel cell but the decision to come home early was made 96 00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:39,760 97 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,910 okay and from the ground the perspective 98 00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:41,920 okay and from the ground the perspective 99 00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:43,910 okay and from the ground the perspective of course has been that this has been a 100 00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:43,920 of course has been that this has been a 101 00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:46,070 of course has been that this has been a a really a pretty orderly 102 00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:46,080 a really a pretty orderly 103 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:46,949 a really a pretty orderly uh 104 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:46,959 uh 105 00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:48,949 uh event it's unfolded with a lot of 106 00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:48,959 event it's unfolded with a lot of 107 00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:50,869 event it's unfolded with a lot of deliberation 108 00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:50,879 deliberation 109 00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:52,309 deliberation i just wonder though from your 110 00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:52,319 i just wonder though from your 111 00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:54,630 i just wonder though from your perspective is there any sense of risk 112 00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:54,640 perspective is there any sense of risk 113 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:57,110 perspective is there any sense of risk or danger added because of the fuel cell 114 00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:57,120 or danger added because of the fuel cell 115 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,190 or danger added because of the fuel cell problem 116 00:03:01,190 --> 00:03:01,200 117 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,630 well certainly we understand that this 118 00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:02,640 well certainly we understand that this 119 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:04,710 well certainly we understand that this is one of the original electric 120 00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:04,720 is one of the original electric 121 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,030 is one of the original electric fly-by-wire airplanes that is we depend 122 00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:07,040 fly-by-wire airplanes that is we depend 123 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,869 fly-by-wire airplanes that is we depend upon electricity for this airplane to 124 00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:08,879 upon electricity for this airplane to 125 00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:11,110 upon electricity for this airplane to fly therefore when you lose one-third of 126 00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:11,120 fly therefore when you lose one-third of 127 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,670 fly therefore when you lose one-third of your electrical producing capacity 128 00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:13,680 your electrical producing capacity 129 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,990 your electrical producing capacity you have to consider that 130 00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:16,000 you have to consider that 131 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,190 you have to consider that so as a result after we had to say fuel 132 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:19,200 so as a result after we had to say fuel 133 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,149 so as a result after we had to say fuel cell 2 we uh we had a little uh powwow 134 00:03:22,149 --> 00:03:22,159 cell 2 we uh we had a little uh powwow 135 00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:23,750 cell 2 we uh we had a little uh powwow here on the flight deck we made sure we 136 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:23,760 here on the flight deck we made sure we 137 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,509 here on the flight deck we made sure we understood all the emergency procedures 138 00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:25,519 understood all the emergency procedures 139 00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:27,589 understood all the emergency procedures as as modified by the fact that fuel 140 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:27,599 as as modified by the fact that fuel 141 00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:29,509 as as modified by the fact that fuel cell 2 had been shut down so i don't 142 00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:29,519 cell 2 had been shut down so i don't 143 00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:31,509 cell 2 had been shut down so i don't want to convey the opinion that we 144 00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:31,519 want to convey the opinion that we 145 00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:32,869 want to convey the opinion that we thought we were in imminent danger 146 00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:32,879 thought we were in imminent danger 147 00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:34,869 thought we were in imminent danger certainly not we felt that the situation 148 00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:34,879 certainly not we felt that the situation 149 00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:36,550 certainly not we felt that the situation was well in hand but on the other hand 150 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:36,560 was well in hand but on the other hand 151 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,630 was well in hand but on the other hand we want to be prepared for the next 152 00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:38,640 we want to be prepared for the next 153 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,309 we want to be prepared for the next possible failure we feel like that's 154 00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:40,319 possible failure we feel like that's 155 00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:41,830 possible failure we feel like that's where we're at right now 156 00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:41,840 where we're at right now 157 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,589 where we're at right now this is marcia dunham the associated 158 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:43,599 this is marcia dunham the associated 159 00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:45,350 this is marcia dunham the associated press for the commander 160 00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:45,360 press for the commander 161 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,030 press for the commander that same fuel had trouble during the 162 00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:47,040 that same fuel had trouble during the 163 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,550 that same fuel had trouble during the countdown and the shuttle program 164 00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:48,560 countdown and the shuttle program 165 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,390 countdown and the shuttle program manager now admits it should have been 166 00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:50,400 manager now admits it should have been 167 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,110 manager now admits it should have been swapped out before flight how unsettling 168 00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:53,120 swapped out before flight how unsettling 169 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,789 swapped out before flight how unsettling is it for you to be in this situation 170 00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:54,799 is it for you to be in this situation 171 00:03:54,799 --> 00:03:56,229 is it for you to be in this situation now considering you could have had a 172 00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:56,239 now considering you could have had a 173 00:03:56,239 --> 00:03:57,750 now considering you could have had a full flight if that fuel cell had been 174 00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:57,760 full flight if that fuel cell had been 175 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,470 full flight if that fuel cell had been replaced before flight 176 00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:02,480 177 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,990 well certainly hindsight is always going 178 00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:04,000 well certainly hindsight is always going 179 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,910 well certainly hindsight is always going to be 20 20. 180 00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:05,920 to be 20 20. 181 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,589 to be 20 20. but this is a situation where with the 182 00:04:07,589 --> 00:04:07,599 but this is a situation where with the 183 00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:09,589 but this is a situation where with the best information that everybody had in 184 00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:09,599 best information that everybody had in 185 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:11,990 best information that everybody had in hand at the time the decision was made i 186 00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:12,000 hand at the time the decision was made i 187 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,350 hand at the time the decision was made i believe it was a correct one at the time 188 00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:13,360 believe it was a correct one at the time 189 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,830 believe it was a correct one at the time to go ahead and launch 190 00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:15,840 to go ahead and launch 191 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,390 to go ahead and launch after the problems developed on orbit 192 00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:18,400 after the problems developed on orbit 193 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,229 after the problems developed on orbit the decision was made again i believe 194 00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:20,239 the decision was made again i believe 195 00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:21,830 the decision was made again i believe the correct one based on additional 196 00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:21,840 the correct one based on additional 197 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:23,749 the correct one based on additional information and also degradation and 198 00:04:23,749 --> 00:04:23,759 information and also degradation and 199 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:24,950 information and also degradation and fuel cell 200 00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:24,960 fuel cell 201 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,629 fuel cell to take the safe path and bring us home 202 00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:26,639 to take the safe path and bring us home 203 00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:29,030 to take the safe path and bring us home early so i think everybody's acted in 204 00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:29,040 early so i think everybody's acted in 205 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,550 early so i think everybody's acted in the best interest of the crew and the 206 00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:30,560 the best interest of the crew and the 207 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,870 the best interest of the crew and the best interests of the program 208 00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:32,880 best interests of the program 209 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,909 best interests of the program and have 210 00:04:33,909 --> 00:04:33,919 and have 211 00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:35,909 and have tried to make the right decisions based 212 00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:35,919 tried to make the right decisions based 213 00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:37,350 tried to make the right decisions based on the information that you had at that 214 00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:37,360 on the information that you had at that 215 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,790 on the information that you had at that time 216 00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:38,800 time 217 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,790 time so we have no hesitation about the 218 00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:40,800 so we have no hesitation about the 219 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,310 so we have no hesitation about the people who are helping us out on the 220 00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:42,320 people who are helping us out on the 221 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,830 people who are helping us out on the ground 222 00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:43,840 ground 223 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:45,990 ground we had an exciting time yesterday going 224 00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:46,000 we had an exciting time yesterday going 225 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,510 we had an exciting time yesterday going through all the procedures 226 00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:47,520 through all the procedures 227 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,990 through all the procedures but uh i felt we were in sync 100 with 228 00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:50,000 but uh i felt we were in sync 100 with 229 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,430 but uh i felt we were in sync 100 with the ground they were helping us out 230 00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:51,440 the ground they were helping us out 231 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,430 the ground they were helping us out every step of the way and we have total 232 00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:53,440 every step of the way and we have total 233 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,710 every step of the way and we have total confidence in the people in mission 234 00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:54,720 confidence in the people in mission 235 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,469 confidence in the people in mission control and in the mission management 236 00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:56,479 control and in the mission management 237 00:04:56,479 --> 00:04:58,790 control and in the mission management that are making these decisions 238 00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:58,800 that are making these decisions 239 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,189 that are making these decisions to stephen young with reuters i was just 240 00:05:01,189 --> 00:05:01,199 to stephen young with reuters i was just 241 00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:03,350 to stephen young with reuters i was just wondering what kind of extraordinary 242 00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:03,360 wondering what kind of extraordinary 243 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,270 wondering what kind of extraordinary measures you've been taking to try and 244 00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:05,280 measures you've been taking to try and 245 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:07,510 measures you've been taking to try and squeeze as much power out of those last 246 00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:07,520 squeeze as much power out of those last 247 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,550 squeeze as much power out of those last two fuel cells to use uh for the science 248 00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:10,560 two fuel cells to use uh for the science 249 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,310 two fuel cells to use uh for the science i think i heard some references last 250 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:12,320 i think i heard some references last 251 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,150 i think i heard some references last night to people working by flashlight 252 00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:14,160 night to people working by flashlight 253 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,150 night to people working by flashlight for example 254 00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:20,160 255 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,430 yes um what we did was we powered down 256 00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:23,440 yes um what we did was we powered down 257 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,749 yes um what we did was we powered down all non-essential equipment including 258 00:05:25,749 --> 00:05:25,759 all non-essential equipment including 259 00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:28,070 all non-essential equipment including most of the lighting on board 260 00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:28,080 most of the lighting on board 261 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,950 most of the lighting on board and only turned things on as we needed 262 00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:30,960 and only turned things on as we needed 263 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:31,749 and only turned things on as we needed it 264 00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:31,759 it 265 00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:34,550 it this enabled us to continue powering 266 00:05:34,550 --> 00:05:34,560 this enabled us to continue powering 267 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,629 this enabled us to continue powering experiments in the lab 268 00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:36,639 experiments in the lab 269 00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:38,390 experiments in the lab and staying under 270 00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:38,400 and staying under 271 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,510 and staying under the 272 00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:39,520 the 273 00:05:39,520 -->

00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:45,990 of power running only two fuel cells 278 00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:46,000 running only two fuel cells 279 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,670 running only two fuel cells thank you and um for whoever would like 280 00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:47,680 thank you and um for whoever would like 281 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,590 thank you and um for whoever would like to take this i'm just wondering if this 282 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:49,600 to take this i'm just wondering if this 283 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,670 to take this i'm just wondering if this incident gives any of you a heightened 284 00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:51,680 incident gives any of you a heightened 285 00:05:51,680 --> 00:06:01,350 incident gives any of you a heightened sense of vulnerability of space flight 286 00:06:01,350 --> 00:06:01,360 287 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,990 i would say from our perspective 288 00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:04,000 i would say from our perspective 289 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,350 i would say from our perspective we all understand from the very 290 00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:05,360 we all understand from the very 291 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,350 we all understand from the very beginning how complicated a piece of 292 00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:07,360 beginning how complicated a piece of 293 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,029 beginning how complicated a piece of equipment this is and how many things 294 00:06:09,029 --> 00:06:09,039 equipment this is and how many things 295 00:06:09,039 --> 00:06:11,189 equipment this is and how many things have to be working just right 296 00:06:11,189 --> 00:06:11,199 have to be working just right 297 00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:13,270 have to be working just right we also know simultaneously how many 298 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:13,280 we also know simultaneously how many 299 00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:15,749 we also know simultaneously how many levels of redundancy and backup systems 300 00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:15,759 levels of redundancy and backup systems 301 00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:18,230 levels of redundancy and backup systems there are in order to keep us safe even 302 00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:18,240 there are in order to keep us safe even 303 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,350 there are in order to keep us safe even though things 304 00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:19,360 though things 305 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,189 though things go wrong and things malfunction as they 306 00:06:21,189 --> 00:06:21,199 go wrong and things malfunction as they 307 00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:23,830 go wrong and things malfunction as they do on earth 308 00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:23,840 do on earth 309 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:25,430 do on earth this is seth bornstein from the orlando 310 00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:25,440 this is seth bornstein from the orlando 311 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,870 this is seth bornstein from the orlando sentinel we heard commander haasel's 312 00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:26,880 sentinel we heard commander haasel's 313 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,469 sentinel we heard commander haasel's reaction yesterday when 314 00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:28,479 reaction yesterday when 315 00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:30,070 reaction

00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:46,240 that the mission would be shortened 333 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,990 that the mission would be shortened we've been training for this mission for 334 00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:48,000 we've been training for this mission for 335 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,909 we've been training for this mission for uh over a year and a half or so working 336 00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:49,919 uh over a year and a half or so working 337 00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:51,909 uh over a year and a half or so working hard on the science the people on the 338 00:06:51,909 --> 00:06:51,919 hard on the science the people on the 339 00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:53,430 hard on the science the people on the ground at the marshall space flight 340 00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:53,440 ground at the marshall space flight 341 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,110 ground at the marshall space flight center and the principal investigators 342 00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:55,120 center and the principal investigators 343 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,550 center and the principal investigators all across the country and around the 344 00:06:56,550 --> 00:06:56,560 all across the country and around the 345 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,990 all across the country and around the world they've been working on this 346 00:06:57,990 --> 00:06:58,000 world they've been working on this 347 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,990 world they've been working on this mission even longer so it was a big 348 00:06:59,990 --> 00:07:00,000 mission even longer so it was a big 349 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,710 mission even longer so it was a big disappointment to to end the mission uh 350 00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:02,720 disappointment to to end the mission uh 351 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,870 disappointment to to end the mission uh but we've been working uh as hard as we 352 00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:04,880 but we've been working uh as hard as we 353 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,870 but we've been working uh as hard as we can working double time up here trying 354 00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:06,880 can working double time up here trying 355 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,350 can working double time up here trying to to make up for what we're losing by 356 00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:09,360 to to make up for what we're losing by 357 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,189 to to make up for what we're losing by shortening the mission and 358 00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:11,199 shortening the mission and 359 00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:13,670 shortening the mission and uh two of the crew members i told on the 360 00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:13,680 uh two of the crew members i told on the 361 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,589 uh two of the crew members i told on the blue shift when they woke up 362 00:07:15,589 --> 00:07:15,599 blue shift when they woke up 363 00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:17,830 blue shift when they woke up and uh they were it was a shock and 364 00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:17,840 and uh they were it was a shock and 365 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,390 and uh they were it was a shock and disbelief at first because 366 00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:20,400 disbelief at first because 367 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,990 disbelief at first because nobody anticipated that we'd be coming 368 00:07:21,990 --> 00:07:22,000 nobody anticipated that we'd be coming 369 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,510 nobody anticipated that we'd be coming home so soon we thought we were going to 370 00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:23,520 home so soon we thought we were going to 371 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,629 home so soon we thought we were going to go for the full 16 days 372 00:07:28,629 --> 00:07:28,639 373 00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:30,870 cool of course i was uh disappointed as 374 00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:30,880 cool of course i was uh disappointed as 375 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,950 cool of course i was uh disappointed as well that the mission was cut short 376 00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:32,960 well that the mission was cut short 377 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,710 well that the mission was cut short particularly from the perspective of the 378 00:07:34,710 --> 00:07:34,720 particularly from the perspective of the 379 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,550 particularly from the perspective of the scientists who've been waiting and 380 00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:36,560 scientists who've been waiting and 381 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,230 scientists who've been waiting and working so long to try and get these 382 00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:38,240 working so long to try and get these 383 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,909 working so long to try and get these experiments in space 384 00:07:39,909 --> 00:07:39,919 experiments in space 385 00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:42,070 experiments in space on the other hand in just a few days 386 00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:42,080 on the other hand in just a few days 387 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,390 on the other hand in just a few days that we've had we've managed to get 388 00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:44,400 that we've had we've managed to get 389 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,870 that we've had we've managed to get results that were described to me by the 390 00:07:46,870 --> 00:07:46,880 results that were described to me by the 391 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,309 results that were described to me by the investigators they told me before the 392 00:07:48,309 --> 00:07:48,319 investigators they told me before the 393 00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:50,790 investigators they told me before the mission hey look if we get a single data 394 00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:50,800 mission hey look if we get a single data 395 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,469 mission hey look if we get a single data point we'll be ecstatic because these 396 00:07:52,469 --> 00:07:52,479 point we'll be ecstatic because these 397 00:07:52,479 --> 00:07:54,390 point we'll be ecstatic because these experiments are so difficult to do and 398 00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:54,400 experiments are so difficult to do and 399 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,550 experiments are so difficult to do and they've never been done before that that 400 00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:56,560 they've never been done before that that 401 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,469 they've never been done before that that result in itself will make us very happy 402 00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:58,479 result in itself will make us very happy 403 00:07:58,479 --> 00:08:00,230 result in itself will make us very happy and we've gotten that many times over in 404 00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:00,240 and we've gotten that many times over in 405 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,550 and we've gotten that many times over in just these four days so on one hand i'm 406 00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:02,560 just these four days so on one hand i'm 407 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,909 just these four days so on one hand i'm disappointed but on the other hand i'm 408 00:08:03,909 --> 00:08:03,919 disappointed but on the other hand i'm 409 00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:05,749 disappointed but on the other hand i'm very happy that in the short time we've 410 00:08:05,749 --> 00:08:05,759 very happy that in the short time we've 411 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:07,350 very happy that in the short time we've had we've gotten them some good results 412 00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:07,360 had we've gotten them some good results 413 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,150 had we've gotten them some good results that'll move them on into the future 414 00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:10,160 that'll move them on into the future 415 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,469 that'll move them on into the future uh bill harwood cbs with uh i guess 416 00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:12,479 uh bill harwood cbs with uh i guess 417 00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:13,830 uh bill harwood cbs with uh i guess maybe another question for dr william 418 00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:13,840 maybe another question for dr william 419 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,909 maybe another question for dr william terrace along those same lines i mean 420 00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:15,919 terrace along those same lines i mean 421 00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:17,830 terrace along those same lines i mean if that's the case i mean you're only 422 00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:17,840 if that's the case i mean you're only 423 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,749 if that's the case i mean you're only getting a four-day flight you would plan 424 00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:19,759 getting a four-day flight you would plan 425 00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:21,350 getting a four-day flight you would plan 16. i mean you can't call the flight 426 00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:21,360 16. i mean you can't call the flight 427 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,869 16. i mean you can't call the flight it's not a failure obviously but it's 428 00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:22,879 it's not a failure obviously but it's 429 00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:25,189 it's not a failure obviously but it's not a success either where do you how do 430 00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:25,199 not a success either where do you how do 431 00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:27,430 not a success either where do you how do you characterize the the results of this 432 00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:27,440 you characterize the the results of this 433 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:35,589 you characterize the the results of this mission 434 00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:35,599 435 00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:37,750 yeah for sure you can't cram 436 00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:37,760 yeah for sure you can't cram 437 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,829 yeah for sure you can't cram 16 days of work into four days but we're 438 00:08:39,829 --> 00:08:39,839 16 days of work into four days but we're 439 00:08:39,839 --> 00:08:41,509 16 days of work into four days but we're doing our best at it 440 00:08:41,509 --> 00:08:41,519 doing our best at it 441 00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:42,709 doing our best at it one of the experiments that i've been 442 00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:42,719 one of the experiments that i've been 443 00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:45,350 one of the experiments that i've been working on is called cslm coarsening of 444 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:45,360 working on is called cslm coarsening of 445 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,190 working on is called cslm coarsening of solid liquid mixtures 446 00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:47,200 solid liquid mixtures 447 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,110 solid liquid mixtures and in this experiment in the glove box 448 00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:49,120 and in this experiment in the glove box 449 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,670 and in this experiment in the glove box we've processed 72 of the 81 plan 450 00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:51,680 we've processed 72 of the 81 plan 451 00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:52,949 we've processed 72 of the 81 plan samples 452 00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:52,959 samples 453 00:08:52,959 --> 00:08:54,790 samples in the large isothermal furnace the 454 00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:54,800 in the large isothermal furnace the 455 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,470 in the large isothermal furnace the japanese facility 456 00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:56,480 japanese facility 457 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,269 japanese facility we processed uh i think it's uh six or 458 00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:59,279 we processed uh i think it's uh six or 459 00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:01,829 we processed uh i think it's uh six or seven of our plan 25 460 00:09:01,829 --> 00:09:01,839 seven of our plan 25 461 00:09:01,839 --> 00:09:03,430 seven of our plan 25 runs that we're doing 462 00:09:03,430 --> 00:09:03,440 runs that we're doing 463 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,590 runs that we're doing phase which is the the physics of heart 464 00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:05,600 phase which is the the physics of heart 465 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,790 phase which is the the physics of heart spheres 466 00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:06,800 spheres 467 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,790 spheres part of our express rack we processed 468 00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:08,800 part of our express rack we processed 469 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,110 part of our express rack we processed one sample successfully and throughout 470 00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:11,120 one sample successfully and throughout 471 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,150 one sample successfully and throughout the lab 472 00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:12,160 the lab 473 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,590 the lab most of the experiments have been able 474 00:09:13,590 --> 00:09:13,600 most of the experiments have been able 475 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,430 most of the experiments have been able to get at least one or two runs in so 476 00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:15,440 to get at least one or two runs in so 477 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,110 to get at least one or two runs in so we're bringing some science back to 478 00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:17,120 we're bringing some science back to 479 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,990 we're bringing some science back to almost all fields up here astro pgba 480 00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:20,000 almost all fields up here astro pgba 481 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,910 almost all fields up here astro pgba we're growing our plants we've been 482 00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:21,920 we're growing our plants we've been 483 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,230 we're growing our plants we've been growing the protein crystals up here so 484 00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:24,240 growing the protein crystals up here so 485 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,829 growing the protein crystals up here so we're hitting the full gamut of it but 486 00:09:25,829 --> 00:09:25,839 we're hitting the full gamut of it but 487 00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:27,030 we're hitting the full gamut of it but you know for sure we're not bringing 488 00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:27,040 you know for sure we're not bringing 489 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,110 you know for sure we're not bringing back 16 days worth of science but we're 490 00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:29,120 back 16 days worth of science but we're 491 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,030 back 16 days worth of science but we're really proud of what we do what we are 492 00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:31,040 really proud of what we do what we are 493 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,829 really proud of what we do what we are bringing back 494 00:09:33,829 --> 00:09:33,839 495 00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:35,590 this is marcia dunn of the associated 496 00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:35,600 this is marcia dunn of the associated 497 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,990 this is marcia dunn of the associated press for dr linterus please 498 00:09:37,990 --> 00:09:38,000 press for dr linterus please 499 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,590 press for dr linterus please we've just heard your blue team was 500 00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:39,600 we've just heard your blue team was 501 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,190 we've just heard your blue team was shocked when they heard the news and as 502 00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:41,200 shocked when they heard the news and as 503 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,750 shocked when they heard the news and as a non-career astronaut who may be making 504 00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:43,760 a non-career astronaut who may be making 505 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,670 a non-career astronaut who may be making their one and only flight were you 506 00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:45,680 their one and only flight were you 507 00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:47,430 their one and only flight were you shocked when you heard the news and are 508 00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:47,440 shocked when you heard the news and are 509 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,150 shocked when you heard the news and are you still in shock perhaps 510 00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:52,160 511 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,870 i think shock is not the right word uh 512 00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:54,880 i think shock is not the right word uh 513 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,430 i think shock is not the right word uh certainly surprise and disappointment 514 00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:57,440 certainly surprise and disappointment 515 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,269 certainly surprise and disappointment might be accurate 516 00:09:59,269 --> 00:09:59,279 might be accurate 517 00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:01,509 might be accurate i certainly expect it to go the full 16 518 00:10:01,509 --> 00:10:01,519 i certainly expect it to go the full 16 519 00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:03,110 i certainly expect it to go the full 16 days i'd say the 520 00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:03,120 days i'd say the 521 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,030 days i'd say the thing that i'm most uh troubled by is 522 00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:05,040 thing that i'm most uh troubled by is 523 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,470 thing that i'm most uh troubled by is that after a few days of getting used to 524 00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:06,480 that after a few days of getting used to 525 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,829 that after a few days of getting used to this new environment i'll have to come 526 00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:07,839 this new environment i'll have to come 527 00:10:07,839 --> 00:10:09,350 this new environment i'll have to come home and that's sort of sort of 528 00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:09,360 home and that's sort of sort of 529 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,430 home and that's sort of sort of saddening but maybe there will be a 530 00:10:11,430 --> 00:10:11,440 saddening but maybe there will be a 531 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,590 saddening but maybe there will be a second chance for me to fly we'll see 532 00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:15,600 533 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,750 commander this is jay barbary with nbc i 534 00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:17,760 commander this is jay barbary with nbc i 535 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,750 commander this is jay barbary with nbc i was wondering if you and pilot uh still 536 00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:19,760 was wondering if you and pilot uh still 537 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,430 was wondering if you and pilot uh still there if you would felt a little better 538 00:10:21,430 --> 00:10:21,440 there if you would felt a little better 539 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,870 there if you would felt a little better if you could have come home today having 540 00:10:22,870 --> 00:10:22,880 if you could have come home today having 541 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,190 if you could have come home today having a fly-by-wire spacecraft you're down to 542 00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:25,200 a fly-by-wire spacecraft you're down to 543 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,990 a fly-by-wire spacecraft you're down to two fuel cells if you lose another one 544 00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:28,000 two fuel cells if you lose another one 545 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,590 two fuel cells if you lose another one you're really in trouble would you like 546 00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:29,600 you're really in trouble would you like 547 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,430 you're really in trouble would you like to come home this afternoon instead of 548 00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:31,440 to come home this afternoon instead of 549 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:37,190 to come home this afternoon instead of waiting until tomorrow 550 00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:37,200 551 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,550 the people on the ground that made this 552 00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:38,560 the people on the ground that made this 553 00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:40,550 the people on the ground that made this decision thought it through fully and 554 00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:40,560 decision thought it through fully and 555 00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:42,310 decision thought it through fully and what they were trying to do is give us 556 00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:42,320 what they were trying to do is give us 557 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,590 what they were trying to do is give us enough time to make an orderly close-up 558 00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:45,600 enough time to make an orderly close-up 559 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,110 enough time to make an orderly close-up of the lab 560 00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:47,120 of the lab 561 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,670 of the lab and plan our de-orbit and our landing 562 00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:49,680 and plan our de-orbit and our landing 563 00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:52,150 and plan our de-orbit and our landing accordingly had we tried to rush to come 564 00:10:52,150 --> 00:10:52,160 accordingly had we tried to rush to come 565 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,310 accordingly had we tried to rush to come home today things wouldn't have been as 566 00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:54,320 home today things wouldn't have been as 567 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,230 home today things wouldn't have been as orderly and so i think that they made 568 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:56,240 orderly and so i think that they made 569 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,670 orderly and so i think that they made the right decision 570 00:10:57,670 --> 00:10:57,680 the right decision 571 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:00,389 the right decision in bringing us home on tuesday 572 00:11:00,389 --> 00:11:00,399 in bringing us home on tuesday 573 00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:02,470 in bringing us home on tuesday so that we could have everything 574 00:11:02,470 --> 00:11:02,480 so that we could have everything 575 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,870 so that we could have everything prepared for the re-entry and the 576 00:11:04,870 --> 00:11:04,880 prepared for the re-entry and the 577 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,310 prepared for the re-entry and the landing 578 00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:06,320 landing 579 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,949 landing this is bill hubshere with way tv news 580 00:11:08,949 --> 00:11:08,959 this is bill hubshere with way tv news 581 00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:10,389 this is bill hubshere with way tv news in huntsville 582 00:11:10,389 --> 00:11:10,399 in huntsville 583 00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:11,910 in huntsville the question i have is is pretty much 584 00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:11,920 the question i have is is pretty much 585 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,350 the question i have is is pretty much for anyone who would like to answer it 586 00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:13,360 for anyone who would like to answer it 587 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,030 for anyone who would like to answer it you must be obviously pretty pleased 588 00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:15,040 you must be obviously pretty pleased 589 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,110 you must be obviously pretty pleased with how the microgravity mission went 590 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:17,120 with how the microgravity mission went 591 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,790 with how the microgravity mission went thus far only after four days but do you 592 00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:18,800 thus far only after four days but do you 593 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,030 thus far only after four days but do you think this hurts the the future of such 594 00:11:21,030 --> 00:11:21,040 think this hurts the the future of such 595 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,150 think this hurts the the future of such missions or do you think that all the 596 00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:22,160 missions or do you think that all the 597 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,190 missions or do you think that all the rest of them that weren't quite 598 00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:23,200 rest of them that weren't quite 599 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,110 rest of them that weren't quite completed will just be put towards space 600 00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:25,120 completed will just be put towards space 601 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,509 completed will just be put towards space shuttle space station 602 00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:29,519 603 00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:30,550 i think 604 00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:30,560 i think 605 00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:32,550 i think this mission is not over yet these 606 00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:32,560 this mission is not over yet these 607 00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:35,350 this mission is not over yet these experiments will be reflown sometime in 608 00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:35,360 experiments will be reflown sometime in 609 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,190 experiments will be reflown sometime in the future we have a facility on board 610 00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:37,200 the future we have a facility on board 611 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,590 the future we have a facility on board called the express rack and this is 612 00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:39,600 called the express rack and this is 613 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,910 called the express rack and this is called the it's the expedited processing 614 00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:41,920 called the it's the expedited processing 615 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,750 called the it's the expedited processing of experiments for space station and the 616 00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:43,760 of experiments for space station and the 617 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,509 of experiments for space station and the actual rack that we have on board today 618 00:11:45,509 --> 00:11:45,519 actual rack that we have on board today 619 00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:47,509 actual rack that we have on board today is scheduled to be on one of the first 620 00:11:47,509 --> 00:11:47,519 is scheduled to be on one of the first 621 00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:50,150 is scheduled to be on one of the first utilization flights for space station so 622 00:11:50,150 --> 00:11:50,160 utilization flights for space station so 623 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,750 utilization flights for space station so many of the facilities that you see here 624 00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:51,760 many of the facilities that you see here 625 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,350 many of the facilities that you see here are going to continue flying up both on 626 00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:53,360 are going to continue flying up both on 627 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,350 are going to continue flying up both on the shuttle and space tab 628 00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:55,360 the shuttle and space tab 629 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,509 the shuttle and space tab maybe orbiter or middeck experiments and 630 00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:57,519 maybe orbiter or middeck experiments and 631 00:11:57,519 --> 00:11:58,470 maybe orbiter or middeck experiments and for sure 632 00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:58,480 for sure 633 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,069 for sure in the future on the international space 634 00:12:00,069 --> 00:12:00,079 in the future on the international space 635 00:12:00,079 --> 00:12:02,230 in the future on the international space station 636 00:12:02,230 --> 00:12:02,240 station 637 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,990 station this is seth bernstein from the orlando 638 00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:04,000 this is seth bernstein from the orlando 639 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,389 this is seth bernstein from the orlando sentinel again commander also 640 00:12:06,389 --> 00:12:06,399 sentinel again commander also 641 00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:08,790 sentinel again commander also can you tell us what 642 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:08,800 can you tell us what 643 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,310 can you tell us what instruments are going to be powered down 644 00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:10,320 instruments are going to be powered down 645 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,509 instruments are going to be powered down that you wouldn't normally have power 646 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:11,519 that you wouldn't normally have power 647 00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:14,310 that you wouldn't normally have power down on landing uh tommy yesterday said 648 00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:14,320 down on landing uh tommy yesterday said 649 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,750 down on landing uh tommy yesterday said there might be one or two things that 650 00:12:15,750 --> 00:12:15,760 there might be one or two things that 651 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,310 there might be one or two things that might be reduced uh on 652 00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:18,320 might be reduced uh on 653 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,990 might be reduced uh on on entry 654 00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:20,000 on entry 655 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,829 on entry is how is it going to make gentry 656 00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:22,839 is how is it going to make gentry 657 00:12:22,839 --> 00:12:25,430 is how is it going to make gentry different let me talk to uh let me let 658 00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:25,440 different let me talk to uh let me let 659 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,110 different let me talk to uh let me let you talk to my expert on the electrical 660 00:12:27,110 --> 00:12:27,120 you talk to my expert on the electrical 661 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,910 you talk to my expert on the electrical system susan standby 662 00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:31,920 663 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,069 basically most of our equipment will be 664 00:12:34,069 --> 00:12:34,079 basically most of our equipment will be 665 00:12:34,079 --> 00:12:36,310 basically most of our equipment will be running that we require for landing what 666 00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:36,320 running that we require for landing what 667 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,629 running that we require for landing what we'll be doing is turning them on later 668 00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:38,639 we'll be doing is turning them on later 669 00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:41,269 we'll be doing is turning them on later in the flight perhaps turning them on 670 00:12:41,269 --> 00:12:41,279 in the flight perhaps turning them on 671 00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:44,069 in the flight perhaps turning them on sometime after the de-orbit burn and 672 00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:44,079 sometime after the de-orbit burn and 673 00:12:44,079 --> 00:12:46,230 sometime after the de-orbit burn and just prior to coming down for the final 674 00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:46,240 just prior to coming down for the final 675 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,910 just prior to coming down for the final part of the landing 676 00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:47,920 part of the landing 677 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,389 part of the landing some of the environmental systems 678 00:12:50,389 --> 00:12:50,399 some of the environmental systems 679 00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:53,110 some of the environmental systems may be turned off which might make it a 680 00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:53,120 may be turned off which might make it a 681 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,069 may be turned off which might make it a little bit warmer once we land but the 682 00:12:56,069 --> 00:12:56,079 little bit warmer once we land but the 683 00:12:56,079 --> 00:12:57,350 little bit warmer once we land but the crew should be 684 00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:57,360 crew should be 685 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,750 crew should be comfortable throughout the reentry and 686 00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:59,760 comfortable throughout the reentry and 687 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,629 comfortable throughout the reentry and the landing phase 688 00:13:02,629 --> 00:13:02,639 the landing phase 689 00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:04,949 the landing phase bill harwood cbs again for dr lanterris 690 00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:04,959 bill harwood cbs again for dr lanterris 691 00:13:04,959 --> 00:13:05,670 bill harwood cbs again for dr lanterris uh 692

00:13:08,870 rena the flight gets re-manifested or not is an unknown at this point of 696 00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:08,880 not is an unknown at this point of 697 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,550 not is an unknown at this point of course and your nasa colleagues will 698 00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:10,560 course and your nasa colleagues will 699 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:11,910 course and your nasa colleagues will look forward to other flights down the 700 00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:11,920 look forward to other flights down the 701 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,069 look forward to other flights down the road but for you and dr crouch 702 00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:14,079 road but for you and dr crouch 703 00:13:14,079 --> 00:13:15,430 road but for you and dr crouch this might be it for you i was just 704 00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:15,440 this might be it for you i was just 705 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,269 this might be it for you i was just wondering i mean in terms of 706 00:13:17,269 --> 00:13:17,279 wondering i mean in terms of 707 00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:19,110 wondering i mean in terms of the science aside the experience of 708 00:13:19,110 --> 00:13:19,120 the science aside the experience of 709 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,710 the science aside the experience of space flight and all of that how 710 00:13:20,710 --> 00:13:20,720 space flight and all of that how 711 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,230 space flight and all of that how disappointing is it to 712 00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:22,240 disappointing is it to 713 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,829 disappointing is it to to do all this work get up there and 714 00:13:23,829 --> 00:13:23,839 to do all this work get up there and 715 00:13:23,839 --> 00:13:25,110 to do all this work get up there and then have to turn right around and come 716 00:13:25,110 --> 00:13:25,120 then have to turn right around and come 717 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,230 then have to turn right around and come home 718 00:13:28,230 --> 00:13:28,240 719 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,990 well it's disappointing from a science 720 00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:30,000 well it's disappointing from a science 721 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,310 well it's disappointing from a science perspective no doubt but from a personal 722 00:13:32,310 --> 00:13:32,320 perspective no doubt but from a personal 723 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,629 perspective no doubt but from a personal perspective the experience of learning 724 00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:34,639 perspective the experience of learning 725 00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:37,110 perspective the experience of learning about the nasa training the experience 726 00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:37,120 about the nasa training the experience 727 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,430 about the nasa training the experience of going to space and and experiencing 728 00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:39,440 of going to space and and experiencing 729 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,590 of going to space and and experiencing this completely new environment with all 730 00:13:41,590 --> 00:13:41,600 this completely new environment with all 731 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,509 this completely new environment with all it has to offer in terms of teaching us 732 00:13:43,509 --> 00:13:43,519 it has to offer in terms of teaching us 733 00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:45,670 it has to offer in terms of teaching us about our life down on earth has been 734 00:13:45,670 --> 00:13:45,680 about our life down on earth has been 735 00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:48,389 about our life down on earth has been phenomenal and is something which i will 736 00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:48,399 phenomenal and is something which i will 737 00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:50,550 phenomenal and is something which i will treasure regardless of whether i fly 738 00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:50,560 treasure regardless of whether i fly 739 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:52,230 treasure regardless of whether i fly again regardless of whether it was five 740 00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:52,240 again regardless of whether it was five 741 00:13:52,240 --> 00:14:16,230 again regardless of whether it was five days instead of 16. 742 00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:16,240 743 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:24,870 greg that was the cm1-3 data cue card 744 00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:24,880 745 00:14:24,880 --> 00:15:09,829 that's correct 746 00:15:09,829 --> 00:15:09,839 747 00:15:09,839 --> 00:15:11,920 you
