tribute to his homeland well thank you

Bill we'll have to pass that over to

6
00:02:05,249 --> 00:02:03,940
them as soon as we see them I guess

7
00:02:07,890 --> 00:02:05,259
they're gonna wake up a lot of a half

8
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:07,900
hour after us but appreciate the woods

9
00:02:13,740 --> 00:02:10,390
and we're off to a good start here this

10
00:02:34,990 --> 00:02:13,750
morning ready to go start and lope

11
00:02:56,570 --> 00:02:37,610
Lana smear Houston were now alive with

12
00:02:56,580 --> 00:03:12,370
you

13
00:04:10,750 --> 00:03:14,810
nightmare houston weather quest for the

14
00:04:16,719 --> 00:04:12,850
okay yeah i hit look through the flight

15
00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:16,729
data file and understand a 1001 so one

16
00:04:28,450 --> 00:04:19,840
of the two the kids that you say will

17
00:04:55,270 --> 00:04:28,460
return as it right charlie all five kits

18
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:21,759
the latest recipe below

19
00:05:21,769 --> 00:06:18,129
Houston Atlantis how copy

20
00:06:22,510 --> 00:06:20,439
one more question for commander sibling

21
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:22,520
police the recent problems you've had

22
00:06:26,110 --> 00:06:24,530
with mirrors life-support systems have

23
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:26,120
caused quite a bit of concern in the

24
00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:28,400
United States how serious were those

25
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:30,319
problems in your opinion and how would

26
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:32,210
you assess the station's overall health

27
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:34,490
at present given the repairs that you've

28
00:06:38,820 --> 00:06:35,810
made and now that you have a new

29
00:06:41,980 --> 00:06:38,830
electronic surgeon generator on board no

30
00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:41,990
concession a as leading somebody certain

31
00:06:47,379 --> 00:06:44,529
systemic problem seemed nervous Puccini

32
00:06:50,679 --> 00:06:47,389
migliore escalate sustained stunts in

33
00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:50,689
the soonest Nadine Hickock nishat it was

34
00:06:59,080 --> 00:06:52,969
saying Stan supposedly antibody montegut

35
00:07:02,469 --> 00:06:59,090
over she didn't see I'm alive and

36
00:07:04,330 --> 00:07:02,479
healthy fully smiling so the condition

37
00:07:07,330 --> 00:07:04,340
of the station is just as the same way

38
00:07:10,059 --> 00:07:07,340
of course we've got now quite a bit of

39
00:07:12,339 --> 00:07:10,069
cargo and equipment that's old and

40
00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:12,349
outdated and we've either got to throw

41
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:14,960
it away for take it away from the

42
00:07:21,189 --> 00:07:18,979
station the kind of stuff here but

43
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:21,199
otherwise the station is ballico is

44
00:07:26,140 --> 00:07:23,650
normal everything is very reliable

45
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:26,150
though the problems that we had with the

46
00:07:30,459 --> 00:07:28,310
thermal control system was fully

47
00:07:33,159 --> 00:07:30,469
completely repaired so everything's

48
00:07:35,070 --> 00:07:33,169
working working fine its present back up

49
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:35,080
now so we practically have no problems

50
00:07:39,249 --> 00:07:37,610
well just one more on those lines for

51
00:07:40,899 --> 00:07:39,259
your commanders simply as I mean given

52
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:40,909
the age of some of the components on

53
00:07:45,249 --> 00:07:42,649
mirror how long do you think the station

54
00:07:48,670 --> 00:07:45,259
can reasonably be expected to operate in

55
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:48,680
the future Kaku damages a pues aquí

56
00:07:52,149 --> 00:07:50,240
están session was insane you know it

57
00:07:59,230 --> 00:07:52,159
seems to know you complained about the

58
00:08:02,200 --> 00:07:59,240
usual steadily you place them more often

59
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:02,210
the station will operate very long time

60
00:08:05,740 --> 00:08:04,490
our station was originally planned for

61
00:08:07,540 --> 00:08:05,750
three to five years and now it's here

62
00:08:10,389 --> 00:08:07,550
for 12 years so it's rather more

63
00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:10,399
reliable and originally expected

64
00:08:13,719 --> 00:08:12,319
commander Precourt this of course is

65
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:13,729
your second visit to mirror I'm

66
00:08:16,719 --> 00:08:15,050
wondering what are your general

67
00:08:18,850 --> 00:08:16,729
impressions of the station's help as you

68
00:08:21,339 --> 00:08:18,860
float around and look at everything and

69
00:08:23,110 --> 00:08:21,349
I and as the American commander are you

70
00:08:23,950 --> 00:08:23,120
satisfied mike foale has a safe place to

71
00:08:27,580 --> 00:08:23,960
live and work for

72
00:08:30,219 --> 00:08:27,590
for a half months yes I am very

73
00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:30,229
satisfied when we went over there

74
00:08:33,730 --> 00:08:32,240
yesterday I could tell you that it it

75
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:33,740
doesn't look a whole lot different than

76
00:08:37,060 --> 00:08:35,450
what I remember two years ago except for

77
00:08:39,130 --> 00:08:37,070
the fact its larger now as two

78
00:08:41,649 --> 00:08:39,140
additional modules the parotta and the

79
00:08:44,860 --> 00:08:41,659
docking module we're not here when we

80
00:08:46,540 --> 00:08:44,870
docked on that's just 71 but in addition

81
00:08:48,940 --> 00:08:46,550
they've had a lot more equipment

82
00:08:51,699 --> 00:08:48,950
delivered so there's not really that

83
00:08:53,829 --> 00:08:51,709
much more free space and has Vasily

84
00:08:57,210 --> 00:08:53,839
hinted earlier one of the problems they

85
00:08:59,920 --> 00:08:57,220
have is trying to find space to work and

86
00:09:02,889 --> 00:08:59,930
the equipment that is no longer used on

87
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:02,899
station is somewhat of a bother and if

88
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:06,170
we could find a way to unload that as we

89
00:09:11,050 --> 00:09:07,910
go on it'll help them be a lot more

90
00:09:12,730 --> 00:09:11,060
efficient well commander getting back to

91
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:12,740
the current mission where if you can

92
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:14,810
maybe give us a sense of how Jerry

93
00:09:18,790 --> 00:09:16,970
Linenger is feeling how eager he is to

94
00:09:20,170 --> 00:09:18,800
get home to see his family what he might

95
00:09:25,329 --> 00:09:20,180
have said to use and so you've had a

96
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:25,339
chance to chat Jerry's ecstatic he's had

97
00:09:29,370 --> 00:09:27,770
a really good mission and I think he's

98
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:29,380
feeling a real sense of accomplishment

99
00:09:34,210 --> 00:09:32,510
especially now that Mike is here he's

100
00:09:37,630 --> 00:09:34,220
really directly applying the lessons

101
00:09:40,990 --> 00:09:37,640
that he has gathered in his stay to

102
00:09:44,410 --> 00:09:41,000
preparing Mike for the next part of his

103
00:09:46,449 --> 00:09:44,420
mission and specifically with a transfer

104
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:46,459
Jerry and Michael working real hard

105
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:48,529
right now to get the equipment for the

106
00:09:53,019 --> 00:09:51,110
science stowed where it's easily

107
00:09:55,150 --> 00:09:53,029
accessible for Mike so he can be more

108
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:55,160
efficient than Jerry was and Jerry was

109
00:10:00,370 --> 00:09:58,010
pretty darn efficient so he's got a real

110
00:10:02,079 --> 00:10:00,380
sense of accomplishment and got a lot to

111
00:10:05,740 --> 00:10:02,089
be proud of and he's real happy to be

112
00:10:07,180 --> 00:10:05,750
coming home of us a question for

113
00:10:09,130 --> 00:10:07,190
commander Sibley of along those lines

114
00:10:10,870 --> 00:10:09,140
sir you spent three months with jerry

115
00:10:12,370 --> 00:10:10,880
linenger four months i should say with

116
00:10:14,769 --> 00:10:12,380
jerry linenger aboard mir and of course

117
00:10:15,819 --> 00:10:14,779
you already knew mike foale what are

118
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:15,829
your thoughts about working with

119
00:10:19,690 --> 00:10:18,110
Americans on the station how well do

120
00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:19,700
they fit in and do they have enough

121
00:10:23,590 --> 00:10:21,920
training to help you and your flight

122
00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:23,600
engineer with station maintenance or

123
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:26,240
emergencies Papa says nice when you

124
00:10:29,769 --> 00:10:27,680
divorced of a privilege city limits on

125
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:29,779
over to mrs. jerry linenger replied the

126
00:10:34,150 --> 00:10:32,690
veneto prostitute Kakui achieved

127
00:10:36,220 --> 00:10:34,160
national turner of kami reckons expand

128
00:10:37,460 --> 00:10:36,230
after kochanie porque todo lo que tengo

129
00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:37,470
casi me

130
00:10:48,740 --> 00:10:41,040
it is especially probably won't like

131
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:48,750
that it it's always easier for me to

132
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:50,610
deal with American astronauts because

133
00:10:55,460 --> 00:10:53,610
everyone knows their tasks we don't

134
00:10:57,530 --> 00:10:55,470
interfere with each other and we have to

135
00:11:00,050 --> 00:10:57,540
help one another we don't never have any

136
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:00,060
problems so we say something like hey

137
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:01,530
Jerry helped us out with this and he'll

138
00:11:04,820 --> 00:11:03,570
say okay where he'll come with to me and

139
00:11:06,770 --> 00:11:04,830
he'll say I've got a problem and will

140
00:11:09,290 --> 00:11:06,780
help him so we work together in this

141
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:09,300
fashion and it's very interesting would

142
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:11,310
you miss it but a major point is not to

143
00:11:14,090 --> 00:11:12,690
interfere with one another because

144
00:11:15,650 --> 00:11:14,100
everyone's got to know their own task

145
00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:15,660
everyone's got to do their work

146
00:11:24,290 --> 00:11:19,920
correctly so this professionalism is

147
00:11:25,790 --> 00:11:24,300
what saves us a key party so come on get

148
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:25,800
a key part already missed a cookie have

149
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:28,410
to meet up with you proud yes well let

150
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:30,770
the booster kill them but am I good for

151
00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:34,410
you so preparing for space is not

152
00:11:38,270 --> 00:11:36,000
something that takes one or two days but

153
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:38,280
it takes years another person I prefer

154
00:11:43,610 --> 00:11:41,010
and it's the idea that you just have to

155
00:11:47,150 --> 00:11:43,620
answer for your actions or that you have

156
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:47,160
to know how to work with people thank

157
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:49,770
you and for commander Precourt changing

158
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:51,120
topics a little bit here this is the

159
00:11:55,370 --> 00:11:52,650
sixth in a series of course of nine

160
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:55,380
shuttle Mir docking mission aside from

161
00:11:59,210 --> 00:11:56,970
helping the Russians to keep the station

162
00:12:01,040 --> 00:11:59,220
supplied what does NASA still have to

163
00:12:05,450 --> 00:12:01,050
learn from this program now that you've

164
00:12:07,940 --> 00:12:05,460
done six of these every time I come up

165
00:12:09,860 --> 00:12:07,950
here we learn something new and really

166
00:12:12,890 --> 00:12:09,870
our efficiency is growing immensely I

167
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:12,900
can remember just this just 79 and 81

168
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:14,610
listening the debriefings about the

169
00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:17,010
level of difficulty doing the transfers

170
00:12:20,660 --> 00:12:19,230
to coordinate the equipment that needed

171
00:12:23,330 --> 00:12:20,670
to go across the hatch we have yet

172
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:23,340
another thousand pounds of equipment you

173
00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:25,170
know efficiency i think is higher based

174
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:27,390
on the lessons from those previous

175
00:12:32,110 --> 00:12:30,450
flights there's some incremental lessons

176
00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:32,120
being learned here there's also some

177
00:12:38,690 --> 00:12:34,830
conceptual things about rendezvous for

178
00:12:40,130 --> 00:12:38,700
example some fairly large conceptual

179
00:12:41,810 --> 00:12:40,140
changes in the way we are going to

180
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:41,820
approach the International Space Station

181
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:43,770
are being developed using flight test

182
00:12:47,210 --> 00:12:45,330
from the flights that we're doing here

183
00:12:48,770 --> 00:12:47,220
if you just compare a flight test

184
00:12:50,050 --> 00:12:48,780
program for an airplane where you can

185
00:12:54,070 --> 00:12:50,060
take

186
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:54,080
a flight a day and try to gain as much

187
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:56,210
information with a flight every four

188
00:13:00,730 --> 00:12:58,370
months you can see the difficulty in

189
00:13:02,350 --> 00:13:00,740
carrying those lessons forward so you

190
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:02,360
know 69 flights is not a tremendous

191
00:13:06,610 --> 00:13:04,610
amount of flying when you get as complex

192
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:06,620
emission is what we're trying to do so

193
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:08,690
every flight that we get is going to

194
00:13:12,340 --> 00:13:10,490
have immense benefit for our efficiency

195
00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:12,350
on the space station that we're building

196
00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:14,240
and that's really the key here is how we

197
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:16,910
can double or triple our efficiency over

198
00:13:19,810 --> 00:13:18,650
the coming years with the International

199
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:19,820
Space Station it's going to be four

200
00:13:24,310 --> 00:13:22,310
times as large four times the volume and
