00:05:30,800 repowering 27 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,270 repowering with the scuzzy removed and the 28 00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:33,280 with the scuzzy removed and the 29 00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:36,150 with the scuzzy removed and the mod was cuz he removed and the system 30 00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:36,160 mod was cuz he removed and the system 31 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,590 mod was cuz he removed and the system powers up fine 32 00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:37,600 powers up fine 33 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,909 powers up fine when i insert the scuzzy 34 00:05:39,909 --> 00:05:39,919 when i insert the scuzzy 35 00:05:39,919 --> 00:05:41,749 when i insert the scuzzy and try to 36 00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:41,759 and try to 37 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:45,110 and try to do that it just locks the system up 38 00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:45,120 do that it just locks the system up 39 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,710 do that it just locks the system up the first time i did it there was no 40 00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:46,720 the first time i did it there was no 41 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,070 the first time i did it there was no trouble at all but all the other times 42 00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:48,080 trouble at all but all the other times 43 00:05:48,080 --> 00:07:52,629 trouble at all but all the other times it seems to lock up all the time 44 00:07:52,629 --> 00:07:52,639 45 00:07:52,639 -->

00:08:57,430 your main mission is to study the uh depletion of the earth's ozone layer and 98 00:08:57,430 --> 00:08:57,440 depletion of the earth's ozone layer and 99 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,670 depletion of the earth's ozone layer and here in charlotte we hear a lot about 100 00:08:59,670 --> 00:08:59,680 here in charlotte we hear a lot about 101 00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:01,110 here in charlotte we hear a lot about ozone alert 102 00:09:01,110 --> 00:09:01,120 ozone alert 103 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,190 ozone alert and trouble in the earth's atmosphere 104 00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:03,200 and trouble in the earth's atmosphere 105 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,710 and trouble in the earth's atmosphere can you see that from your vantage point 106 00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:04,720 can you see that from your vantage point 107 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,310 can you see that from your vantage point can you see over north carolina for 108 00:09:06,310 --> 00:09:06,320 can you see over north carolina for 109 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,269 can you see over north carolina for example what the ozone looks like 110 00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:11,279 111 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:12,949 well actually nancy we can't really see 112 00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:12,959 well actually nancy we can't really see 113 00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:15,110 well actually nancy we can't really see the ozone or um 114 00:09:15,110 --> 00:09:15,120 the ozone or um 115 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,790 the ozone or um or anything any of the chemicals that 116 00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:16,800 or anything any of the chemicals that 117 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,269 or anything any of the chemicals that we're really looking for what we can see 118 00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:19,279 we're really looking for what we can see 119 00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:21,509 we're really looking for what we can see from space and from the shuttle 120 00:09:21,509 --> 00:09:21,519 from space and from the shuttle 121 00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:23,509 from space and from the shuttle with our naked eyes that is is we can we 122 00:09:23,509 --> 00:09:23,519 with our naked eyes that is is we can we 123 00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:26,389 with our naked eyes that is is we can we can see some city smog 124 00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:26,399 can see some city smog 125 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:27,829 can see some city smog sometimes when you have a big high 126 00:09:27,829 --> 00:09:27,839 sometimes when you have a big high 127 00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:30,070 sometimes when you have a big high pressure area over an area you wind up 128 00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:30,080 pressure area over an area you wind up 129 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,310 pressure area over an area you wind up seeing a lot of haze and 130 00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:32,320 seeing a lot of haze and 131 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,230 seeing a lot of haze and it kind of looks like smoke 132 00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:34,240 it kind of looks like smoke 133 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,509 it kind of looks like smoke smog 134 00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:35,519 smog 135 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:37,430 smog but uh the only other things we can 136 00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:37,440 but uh the only other things we can 137 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,590 but uh the only other things we can really see from space with your naked 138 00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:39,600 really see from space with your naked 139 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,070 really see from space with your naked eyes we can see some rivers and streams 140 00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:42,080 eyes we can see some rivers and streams 141 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:42,870 eyes we can see some rivers and streams that 142 00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:42,880 that 143 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,110 that flow into the ocean which uh 144 00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:45,120 flow into the ocean which uh 145 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,269 flow into the ocean which uh it's not really pollution but it's the 146 00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:47,279 it's not really pollution but it's the 147 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:48,949 it's not really pollution but it's the sediments and things that 148 00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:48,959 sediments and things that 149 00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:51,509 sediments and things that are caused by rain and different 150 00:09:51,509 --> 00:09:51,519 are caused by rain and different 151 00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:52,949 are caused by rain and different erosions 152 00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:52,959 erosions 153 00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:55,590 erosions we can see those things 154 00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:55,600 we can see those things 155 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,389 we can see those things and 156 00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:56,399 and 157 00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:58,470 and if you have a volcano that erupts you 158 00:09:58,470 --> 00:09:58,480 if you have a volcano that erupts you 159 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,230 if you have a volcano that erupts you can see all the plume and those kind of 160 00:10:00,230 --> 00:10:00,240 can see all the plume and those kind of 161 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,750 can see all the plume and those kind of smoke and debris and 162 00:10:01,750 --> 00:10:01,760 smoke and debris and 163 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,150 smoke and debris and things like that in the atmosphere what 164 00:10:04,150 --> 00:10:04,160 things like that in the atmosphere what 165 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,070 things like that in the atmosphere what effect do you hope your mission uh the 166 00:10:06,070 --> 00:10:06,080 effect do you hope your mission uh the 167 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,550 effect do you hope your mission uh the mars pathfinder the increased 168 00:10:08,550 --> 00:10:08,560 mars pathfinder the increased 169 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:10,710 mars pathfinder the increased interest among americans in space is 170 00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:10,720 interest among americans in space is 171 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:11,990 interest among americans in space is going to have on the future of the space 172 00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:12,000 going to have on the future of the space 173 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,350 going to have on the future of the space program 174 00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:15,360 175 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,949 well i think it's going to have a great 176 00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:16,959 well i think it's going to have a great 177 00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:18,470 well i think it's

the space program we've been doing 181 00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:21,990 the space program we've been doing things that are fantastic for many years 182 00:10:21,990 --> 00:10:22,000 things that are fantastic for many years 183 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,150 things that are fantastic for many years and unfortunately not everyone around 184 00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:24,160 and unfortunately not everyone around 185 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,870 and unfortunately not everyone around the world hears about what we do so with 186 00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:26,880 the world hears about what we do so

00:13:56,069 and it's going to be gathering data on some of the uh 384 00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:56,079 some of the uh 385 00:13:56,079 --> 00:13:57,990 some of the uh items that are out in the uh in the 386 00:13:57,990 --> 00:13:58,000 items that are out in the uh in the 387 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,829 items that are out in the uh in the space and deep space so we have quite a 388 00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:59,839 space and deep space so we have quite a 389 00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:00,870 space and deep space so we have quite a variety 390 00:14:00,870 --> 00:14:00,880 variety 391 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,269 variety for this mission and that doesn't really 392 00:14:03,269 --> 00:14:03,279 for this mission and that doesn't really 393 00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:04,710 for this mission and that doesn't really count all the little things in the mid 394 00:14:04,710 --> 00:14:04,720 count all the little things in the mid 395 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:05,990 count all the little things in the mid deck 396 00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:06,000 deck 397 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,910 deck and other things are in the paler bay 398 00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:07,920 and other things are in the paler bay 399 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,750 and other things are in the paler bay that that aren't are prime 400 00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:11,760 401 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,990 do you feel perfectly safe 402 00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:14,000 do you feel perfectly safe 403 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,430 do you feel perfectly safe out there 404 00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:19,440 405 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,750 i think a little garbage there do we 406 00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:21,760 i think a little garbage there do we 407 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,269 i think a little garbage there do we feel safe up here i think the answer 408 00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:23,279 feel safe up here i think the answer 409 00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:24,949 feel safe up here i think the answer there is definitely yes 410 00:14:24,949 --> 00:14:24,959 there is definitely yes 411 00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:26,389 there is definitely yes we have a great team of folks on the 412 00:14:26,389 --> 00:14:26,399 we have a great team of folks on the 413 00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:28,150 we have a great team of folks on the ground supporting us 414 00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:28,160 ground supporting us 415 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,750 ground supporting us they're watching over us whatever we're 416 00:14:29,750 --> 00:14:29,760 they're watching over us whatever we're 417 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:30,550 they're watching over us whatever we're doing 418 00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:30,560 doing 419 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,069 doing they have a lot more data than we do so 420 00:14:32,069 --> 00:14:32,079 they have a lot more data than we do so 421 00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:33,430 they have a lot more data than we do so they have a better insight of the health 422 00:14:33,430 --> 00:14:33,440 they have a better insight of the health 423 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,910 they have a better insight of the health of the vehicle but uh we go through a 424 00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:35,920 of the vehicle but uh we go through a 425 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,069 of the vehicle but uh we go through a lot of training on the ground to prepare 426 00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:38,079 lot of training on the ground to prepare 427 00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:39,269 lot of training on the ground to prepare us for 428 00:14:39,269 --> 00:14:39,279 us for 429 00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:40,949 us for almost any malfunction that could happen 430 00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:40,959 almost any malfunction that could happen 431 00:14:40,959 --> 00:14:42,550 almost any malfunction that could happen in the orbiter and 432 00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:42,560 in the orbiter and 433 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:43,590 in the orbiter and that's one of the good things about 434 00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:43,600 that's one of the good things about 435 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,350 that's one of the good things about flying is you don't have to go back to 436 00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:45,360 flying is you don't have to go back to 437 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,629 flying is you don't have to go back to the simulator and do more training 438 00:14:46,629 --> 00:14:46,639 the simulator and do more training 439 00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:50,839 the simulator and do more training you're up on orbit doing the real thing
