1 00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:03,110 okay jim do you have a short opening 2 00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:08,390 yes thanks for the opportunity welcome 3 00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:11,119 on board columbia well we're just over 4 00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:12,880 the middle of the atlantic ocean headed 5 00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:14,720 toward africa at this time 6 00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:16,720 and as everybody knows by now this is 7 00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:18,320 our next last day in space we'll be 8 00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:20,240 coming home early because of the fuel 9 00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:21,840 cell degradation 10 00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:23,040 but i think the message that we want to 11 00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,040 leave everybody with from here on board 12 00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:27,600 columbia is that uh in the short time 13 00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:29,439 that we've been here thanks to the hard 14 00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:31,360 work of the payload people on board 15 00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:34,000 columbia plus at huntsville 16 00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:35,360 we've been able to put together a good 17 00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:36,720 science program that we're going to 18 00:01:39,910 --> 00:01:38,159 bring back some meaningful science in 19 00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:39,920 the short period that we will be we have 20 00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:41,920 been here it's true that everybody is 21 00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:43,119 disappointed that we are going to have 22 00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:44,960 to come home early not only the crew but 23 00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:46,799 the investigators and the researchers 24 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:48,000 who science that we were up here to 25 00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:49,680 accomplish 26 00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:52,159 but still i think we packed a lot into a 27 00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:54,479 short period of time with that is our 28 00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:55,920 kind of our theme i'd like to open up 29 00:02:01,270 --> 00:01:58,479 for questions at this time 30 00:02:02,069 --> 00:02:01,280 uh did the shuttle crew have any sort of 31 00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:02,079 a 32 00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:34,400 the 33 00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:35,920 people actually built a fuel cell but 34 00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:41,910 okay and from the ground the perspective 35 00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:43,920 of course has been that this has been a 36 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:46,080 a really a pretty orderly 37 00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:46,959 uh 38 00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:48,959 event it's unfolded with a lot of 39 00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:50,879 deliberation 40 00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:52,319 i just wonder though from your 41 00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:54,640 perspective is there any sense of risk 42 00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:57,120 or danger added because of the fuel cell 43 00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:02,630 well certainly we understand that this 44 00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:04,720 is one of the original electric 45 00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:07,040 fly-by-wire airplanes that is we depend 46 00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:08,879 upon electricity for this airplane to 47 00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:11,120 fly therefore when you lose one-third of 48 00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:13,680 your electrical producing capacity 49 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:16,000 you have to consider that 50 00:03:22,149 --> 00:03:19,200 so as a result after we had to say fuel 51 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:22,159 cell 2 we uh we had a little uh powwow 52 00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:23,760 here on the flight deck we made sure we 53 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:25,519 understood all the emergency procedures 54 00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:27,599 as as modified by the fact that fuel 55 00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:29,519 cell 2 had been shut down so i don't 56 00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:31,519 want to convey the opinion that we 57 00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:32,879 thought we were in imminent danger 58 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:34,879 certainly not we felt that the situation 59 00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:36,560 was well in hand but on the other hand 60 00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:38,640 we want to be prepared for the next 61 00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:40,319 possible failure we feel like that's 62 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:41,840 where we're at right now 63 00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,599 this is marcia dunham the associated 64 00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:45,360 press for the commander 65 00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:47,040 that same fuel had trouble during the 66 00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:48,560 countdown and the shuttle program 67 00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:50,400 manager now admits it should have been 68 00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:53,120 swapped out before flight how unsettling 69 00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:54,799 is it for you to be in this situation 70 00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:56,239 now considering you could have had a 71 00:04:02,470 --> 00:03:57,760 full flight if that fuel cell had been 72 00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:03,990 well certainly hindsight is always going 73 00:04:07,589 --> 00:04:05,920 to be 20 20. 74 00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:07,599 but this is a situation where with the 75 00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:09,599 best information that everybody had in 76 00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:12,000 hand at the time the decision was made i 77 00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:13,360 believe it was a correct one at the time 78 00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:15,840 to go ahead and launch 79 00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:18,400 after the problems developed on orbit 80 00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:20,239 the decision was made again i believe 81 00:04:23,749 --> 00:04:21,840 the correct one based on additional 82 00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:23,759 information and also degradation and 83 00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:24,960 fuel cell 84 00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:26,639 to take the safe path and bring us home 85 00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:29,040 early so i think everybody's acted in 86 00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:30,560 the best interest of the crew and the 87 00:04:33,909 --> 00:04:32,880 best interests of the program 88 00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:33,919 and have 89 00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:35,919 tried to make the right decisions based 90 00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:37,360 on the information that you had at that 91 00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:38,800 time 92 00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:40,800 so we have no hesitation about the 93 00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:42,320 people who are helping us out on the 94 00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:43,840 ground 95 00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:46,000 we had an exciting time yesterday going 96 00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:47,520 through all the procedures 97 00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:50,000 but uh i felt we were in sync 100 with 98 00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:51,440 the ground they were helping us out 99 00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:53,440 every step of the way and we have total 100 00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:54,720 confidence in the people in mission 101 00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,479 control and in the mission management 102 00:05:01,189 --> 00:04:58,800 that are making these decisions 103 00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:01,199 to stephen young with reuters i was just 104 00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:03,360 wondering what kind of extraordinary 105 00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:05,280 measures you've been taking to try and 106 00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:07,520 squeeze as much power out of those last 107 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:10,560 two fuel cells to use uh for the science 108 00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:12,320 i think i heard some references last 109 00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:14,160 night to people working by flashlight 110 00:05:25,749 --> 00:05:23,430 yes um what we did was we powered down 111 00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:25,759 all non-essential equipment including 112 00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:28,080 most of the lighting on board 113 00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:30,960 and only turned things on as we needed 114 00:05:34,550 --> 00:05:31,759 it 115 00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:34,560 this enabled us to continue powering 116 00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:36,639 experiments in the lab 117 00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:38,400 and staying under 118 00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:39,520 the 119 00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:41,440 required amount 120 00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:43,039 of power 121 00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:46,000 running only two fuel cells 122 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:47,680 thank you and um for whoever would like 123 00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:49,600 to take this i'm just wondering if this 124 00:06:01,350 --> 00:05:51,680 incident gives any of you a heightened 125 00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:03,990 i would say from our perspective 126 00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:05,360 we all understand from the very 127 00:06:09,029 --> 00:06:07,360 beginning how complicated a piece of 128 00:06:11,189 --> 00:06:09,039 equipment this is and how many things 129 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:11,199 have to be working just right 130 00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:13,280 we also know simultaneously how many 131 00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:15,759 levels of redundancy and backup systems 132 00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:18,240 there are in order to keep us safe even 133 00:06:21,189 --> 00:06:19,360 though things 134 00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:21,199 go wrong and things malfunction as they 135 00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:23,840 do on earth 136 00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:25,440 this is seth bornstein from the orlando 137 00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:26,880 sentinel we heard commander haasel's 138 00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:28,479 reaction yesterday when 139 00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:30,080 you were told the news 140 00:06:33,749 --> 00:06:32,319 about the shortened mission can we can 141 00:06:35,189 --> 00:06:33,759 the other three of you tell us what went 142 00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:35,199 through your mind when that was radioed 143 00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:36,720 up and how did you tell the blue who 144 00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:38,160 told the blue shift and what was their 145 00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:44,870 yeah i was disappointed when i got word 146 00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:46,240 that the mission would be shortened 147 00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:48,000 we've been training for this mission for 148 00:06:51,909 --> 00:06:49,919 uh over a year and a half or so working 149 00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:51,919 hard on the science the people on the 150 00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:53,440 ground at the marshall space flight 151 00:06:56,550 --> 00:06:55,120 center and the principal investigators 152 00:06:57,990 --> 00:06:56,560 all across the country and around the 153 00:06:59,990 --> 00:06:58,000 world they've been working on this 154 00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:00,000 mission even longer so it was a big 155 00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:02,720 disappointment to to end the mission uh 156 00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:04,880 but we've been working uh as hard as we 157 00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:06,880 can working double time up here trying 158 00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:09,360 to to make up for what we're losing by 159 00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:11,199 shortening the mission and 160 00:07:15,589 --> 00:07:13,680 uh two of the crew members i told on the 161 00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:15,599 blue shift when they woke up 162 00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:17,840 and uh they were it was a shock and 163 00:07:21,990 --> 00:07:20,400 disbelief at first because 164 00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:22,000 nobody anticipated that we'd be coming 165 00:07:28,629 --> 00:07:23,520 home so soon we thought we were going to 166 00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:30,870 cool of course i was uh disappointed as 167 00:07:34,710 --> 00:07:32,960 well that the mission was cut short 168 00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:34,720 particularly from the perspective of the 169 00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:36,560 scientists who've been waiting and 170 00:07:39,909 --> 00:07:38,240 working so long to try and get these 171 00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:39,919 experiments in space 172 00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:42,080 on the other hand in just a few days 173 00:07:46,870 --> 00:07:44,400 that we've had we've managed to get 174 00:07:48,309 --> 00:07:46,880 results that were described to me by the 175 00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:48,319 investigators they told me before the 176 00:07:52,469 --> 00:07:50,800 mission hey look if we get a single data 177 00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:52,479 point we'll be ecstatic because these 178 00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:54,400 experiments are so difficult to do and 179 00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:56,560 they've never been done before that that 180 00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:58,479 result in itself will make us very happy 181 00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:00,240 and we've gotten that many times over in 182 00:08:03,909 --> 00:08:02,560 just these four days so on one hand i'm 183 00:08:05,749 --> 00:08:03,919 disappointed but on the other hand i'm 184 00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:05,759 very happy that in the short time we've 185 00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:07,360 had we've gotten them some good results 186 00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:10,160 that'll move them on into the future 187 00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:12,479 uh bill harwood cbs with uh i guess 188 00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:13,840 maybe another question for dr william 189 00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:15,919 terrace along those same lines i mean 190 00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:17,840 if that's the case i mean you're only 191 00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:19,759 getting a four-day flight you would plan 192 00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:21,360 16. i mean you can't call the flight 193 00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:22,879 it's not a failure obviously but it's 194 00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:25,199 not a success either where do you how do 195 00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:27,440 you characterize the the results of this 196 00:08:39,829 --> 00:08:37,750 yeah for sure you can't cram 197 00:08:41,509 --> 00:08:39,839 16 days of work into four days but we're 198 00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:41,519 doing our best at it 199 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:42,719 one of the experiments that i've been 200 00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:45,360 working on is called cslm coarsening of 201 00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:47,200 solid liquid mixtures 202 00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:49,120 and in this experiment in the glove box 203 00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:51,680 we've processed 72 of the 81 plan 204 00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:52,959 samples 205 00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:54,800 in the large isothermal furnace the 206 00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:56,480 japanese facility 207 00:09:01,829 --> 00:08:59,279 we processed uh i think it's uh six or 208 00:09:03,430 --> 00:09:01,839 seven of our plan 25 209 00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:03,440 runs that we're doing 210 00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:05,600 phase which is the the physics of heart 211 00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:06,800 spheres 212 00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:08,800 part of our express rack we processed 213 00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:11,120 one sample successfully and throughout 214 00:09:13,590 --> 00:09:12,160 the lab 215 00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:13,600 most of the experiments have been able 216 00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:15,440 to get at least one or two runs in so 217 00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:17,120 we're bringing some science back to 218 00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:20,000 almost all fields up here astro pgba 219 00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:21,920 we're growing our plants we've been 220 00:09:25,829 --> 00:09:24,240 growing the protein crystals up here so 221 00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:25,839 we're hitting the full gamut of it but 222 00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:27,040 you know for sure we're not bringing 223 00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:29,120 back 16 days worth of science but we're 224 00:09:33,829 --> 00:09:31,040 really proud of what we do what we are 225 00:09:37,990 --> 00:09:35,590 this is marcia dunn of the associated 226 00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:38,000 press for dr linterus please 227 00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:39,600 we've just heard your blue team was 228 00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:41,200 shocked when they heard the news and as 229 00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:43,760 a non-career astronaut who may be making 230 00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:45,680 their one and only flight were you 231 00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:47,440 shocked when you heard the news and are 232 00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:54,870 i think shock is not the right word uh 233 00:09:59,269 --> 00:09:57,440 certainly surprise and disappointment 234 00:10:01,509 --> 00:09:59,279 might be accurate 235 00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:01,519 i certainly expect it to go the full 16 236 00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:03,120 days i'd say the 237 00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:05,040 thing that i'm most uh troubled by is 238 00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:06,480 that after a few days of getting used to 239 00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:07,839 this new environment i'll have to come 240 00:10:11,430 --> 00:10:09,360 home and that's sort of sort of 241 00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:11,440 saddening but maybe there will be a 242 00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:17,750 commander this is jay barbary with nbc i 243 00:10:21,430 --> 00:10:19,760 was wondering if you and pilot uh still 244 00:10:22,870 --> 00:10:21,440 there if you would felt a little better 245 00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:22,880 if you could have come home today having 246 00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:25,200 a fly-by-wire spacecraft you're down to 247 00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:28,000 two fuel cells if you lose another one 248 00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:29,600 you're really in trouble would you like 249 00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:31,440 to come home this afternoon instead of 250 00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:38,550 the people on the ground that made this 251 00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:40,560 decision thought it through fully and 252 00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:42,320 what they were trying to do is give us 253 00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:45,600 enough time to make an orderly close-up 254 00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:47,120 of the lab 255 00:10:52,150 --> 00:10:49,680 and plan our de-orbit and our landing 256 00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:52,160 accordingly had we tried to rush to come 257 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:54,320 home today things wouldn't have been as 258 00:10:57,670 --> 00:10:56,240 orderly and so i think that they made 259 00:11:00,389 --> 00:10:57,680 the right decision 260 00:11:02,470 --> 00:11:00,399 in bringing us home on tuesday 261 00:11:04,870 --> 00:11:02,480 so that we could have everything 262 00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:04,880 prepared for the re-entry and the 263 00:11:08,949 --> 00:11:06,320 landing 264 00:11:10,389 --> 00:11:08,959 this is bill hubshere with way tv news 265 00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:10,399 in huntsville 266 00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:11,920 the question i have is is pretty much 267 00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:13,360 for anyone who would like to answer it 268 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:15,040 you must be obviously pretty pleased 269 00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:17,120 with how the microgravity mission went 270 00:11:21,030 --> 00:11:18,800 thus far only after four days but do you 271 00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:21,040 think this hurts the the future of such 272 00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:22,160 missions or do you think that all the 273 00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:23,200 rest of them that weren't quite 274 00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:25,120 completed will just be put towards space 275 00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:30,550 i think 276 00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:32,560 this mission is not over yet these 277 00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:35,360 experiments will be reflown sometime in 278 00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:37,200 the future we have a facility on board 279 00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:39,600 called the express rack and this is 280 00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:41,920 called the it's the expedited processing 281 00:11:45,509 --> 00:11:43,760 of experiments for space station and the 282 00:11:47,509 --> 00:11:45,519 actual rack that we have on board today 283 00:11:50,150 --> 00:11:47,519 is scheduled to be on one of the first 284 00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:50,160 utilization flights for space station so 285 00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:51,760 many of the facilities that you see here 286 00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:53,360 are going to continue flying up both on 287 00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:55,360 the shuttle and space tab 288 00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:57,519 maybe orbiter or middeck experiments and 289 00:12:00,069 --> 00:11:58,480 for sure 290 00:12:02,230 --> 00:12:00,079 in the future on the international space 291 00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:02,240 station 292 00:12:06,389 --> 00:12:04,000 this is seth bernstein from the orlando 293 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:06,399 sentinel again commander also 294 00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:08,800 can you tell us what 295 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:10,320 instruments are going to be powered down 296 00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:11,519 that you wouldn't normally have power 297 00:12:15,750 --> 00:12:14,320 down on landing uh tommy yesterday said 298 00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:15,760 there might be one or two things that 299 00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:18,320 might be reduced uh on 300 00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:20,000 on entry 301 00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:22,839 is how is it going to make gentry 302 00:12:27,110 --> 00:12:25,440 different let me talk to uh let me let 303 00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:27,120 you talk to my expert on the electrical 304 00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:34,069 basically most of our equipment will be 305 00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:36,320 running that we require for landing what 306 00:12:41,269 --> 00:12:38,639 we'll be doing is turning them on later 307 00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:41,279 in the flight perhaps turning them on 308 00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:44,079 sometime after the de-orbit burn and 309 00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:46,240 just prior to coming down for the final 310 00:12:50,389 --> 00:12:47,920 part of the landing 311 00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:50,399 some of the environmental systems 312 00:12:56,069 --> 00:12:53,120 may be turned off which might make it a 313 00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:56,079 little bit warmer once we land but the 314 00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:57,360 crew should be 315 00:13:02,629 --> 00:12:59,760 comfortable throughout the reentry and 316 00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:02,639 the landing phase 317 00:13:05,670 --> 00:13:04,959 bill harwood cbs again for dr lanterris 318 00:13:07,269 --> 00:13:05,680 uh 319 00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:07,279 rena the flight gets re-manifested or 320 00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:08,880 not is an unknown at this point of 321 00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:10,560 course and your nasa colleagues will 322 00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:11,920 look forward to other flights down the 323 00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:14,079 road but for you and dr crouch 324 00:13:17,269 --> 00:13:15,440 this might be it for you i was just 325 00:13:19,110 --> 00:13:17,279 wondering i mean in terms of 326 00:13:20,710 --> 00:13:19,120 the science aside the experience of 327 00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:20,720 space flight and all of that how 328 00:13:23,829 --> 00:13:22,240 disappointing is it to 329 00:13:25,110 --> 00:13:23,839 to do all this work get up there and 330 00:13:28,230 --> 00:13:25,120 then have to turn right around and come 331 00:13:32,310 --> 00:13:29,990 well it's disappointing from a science 332 00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:32,320 perspective no doubt but from a personal 333 00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:34,639 perspective the experience of learning 334 00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:37,120 about the nasa training the experience 335 00:13:41,590 --> 00:13:39,440 of going to space and and experiencing 336 00:13:43,509 --> 00:13:41,600 this completely new environment with all 337 00:13:45,670 --> 00:13:43,519 it has to offer in terms of teaching us 338 00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:45,680 about our life down on earth has been 339 00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:48,399 phenomenal and is something which i will 340 00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:50,560 treasure regardless of whether i fly 341 00:14:16,230 --> 00:13:52,240 again regardless of whether it was five 342 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:24,870 greg that was the cm1-3 data cue card
