good morning it last time to get down to

3
00:04:32,409 --> 00:04:22,550
the business of space flight and orbital

4
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:32,419
ops oh thanks about here cuz i guess

5
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:39,290

working 50 flights this is his 50th

9
00:04:51,730 --> 00:04:49,820
flight and I tell you we don't worry it

me or the start of that test and i need

32
00:08:43,580 --> 00:08:38,160
to update the flight Pan Am pages 34 and

33
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:43,590
35 to start shuttle free drift at 1754

34
00:09:12,960 --> 00:08:48,330
and near takes control at 1755 thanks

35
00:09:12,970 --> 00:09:17,840
go ahead

36
00:09:24,980 --> 00:09:22,180
as well we've just completed the Miz the

37
00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:24,990
treadmill exercise and all that was

38
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:28,889
executed for the timeline on time great

39
00:09:41,660 --> 00:09:37,410
Mike thanks like to welcome you on

40
00:09:47,660 --> 00:09:41,670
behalf of the ground as the newest crew

41
00:09:50,660 --> 00:09:47,670
member on board Atlantis great pleasure

42
00:09:58,579 --> 00:09:50,670
to be shredding it on the US metal if

43
00:10:00,319 --> 00:09:58,589
not soiled thank you very much sir NASA

44
00:10:02,509 --> 00:10:00,329
didn't decide to send you up in the

45
00:10:04,249 --> 00:10:02,519
shuttle until the last minute last week

46
00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:04,259
apparently because of concerns about

47
00:10:13,069 --> 00:10:06,720
your safety now that you're up how do

48
00:10:14,809 --> 00:10:13,079
you was a decision okay you're a little

49
00:10:17,180 --> 00:10:14,819
broken at the end but I think you asked

50
00:10:19,490 --> 00:10:17,190
him am I happy with the decision and the

51
00:10:21,499 --> 00:10:19,500
answer is absolutely yes I always

52
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:21,509
believed that I was going on this

53
00:10:25,879 --> 00:10:24,089
mission and I'm thankful that everybody

54
00:10:28,340 --> 00:10:25,889
looked carefully at the options and the

55
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:28,350
safety issues that I felt confident the

56
00:10:33,889 --> 00:10:30,569
more they looked the more comfortable

57
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:33,899
they would be with the whole mission mr.

58
00:10:37,730 --> 00:10:35,850
wolf all the world knows about the

59
00:10:39,710 --> 00:10:37,740
problems that the space station has been

60
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:39,720
plagued with aren't you just the

61
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:47,250
slightest bit worried I've got one of

62
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:49,290
the finest spacecraft commanders in the

63
00:10:54,249 --> 00:10:51,569
world sitting right next to me here

64
00:10:56,269 --> 00:10:54,259
floating right next to me and

65
00:10:59,689 --> 00:10:56,279
particularly after being up here and

66
00:11:01,009 --> 00:10:59,699
seeing the quality of this machine first

67
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:01,019
of all I'm having too much fun and

68
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:03,170
enjoying it too much to be nervous and

69
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:05,490
really the answer is no I'm very

70
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:07,110
comfortable we're well trained to handle

71
00:11:14,059 --> 00:11:11,130
any reasonable emergency well we wish

72
00:11:16,579 --> 00:11:14,069
you well now to the soon to be departing

73
00:11:18,410 --> 00:11:16,589
American astronaut michael foale mr.

74
00:11:20,689 --> 00:11:18,420
pole you're leaving near after four and

75
00:11:25,790 --> 00:11:20,699
a half months stand how happy are you to

76
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:25,800
be getting off the space station oh I

77
00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:27,510
wouldn't be honest to say that I was not

78
00:11:30,350 --> 00:11:29,760
happy I have a good friend here and I

79
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:30,360
told you so

80
00:11:34,370 --> 00:11:32,970
and Pavel Vinogradov livia support

81
00:11:38,540 --> 00:11:34,380
engineer the flight engineer on one

82
00:11:40,069 --> 00:11:38,550
station but I have a son at home who a

83
00:11:42,590 --> 00:11:40,079
party has grown twice this height since

84
00:11:45,470 --> 00:11:42,600
I last saw him and my daughter of my

85
00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:45,480
wife and so I really do want to see them

86
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:47,040
badly and I would have been disappointed

87
00:11:51,019 --> 00:11:49,110
if the talking hadn't gone on time I'm

88
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:51,029
very pleased to be going back to them

89
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:53,610
and seeing them again soon this is one

90
00:11:58,340 --> 00:11:55,170
of the most rewarding experiences I've

91
00:12:00,590 --> 00:11:58,350
had in my life it will have changed me

92
00:12:02,540 --> 00:12:00,600
I'm sure and what I wrote back on this

93
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:02,550
only we were the greatest fondness for

94
00:12:07,699 --> 00:12:05,610
the times I spent with Anatole Bible and

95
00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:07,709
the crew before that the city civil air

96
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:10,649
and faster was it can there were many

97
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:13,170
problems during your tour of duty could

98
00:12:20,030 --> 00:12:15,450
you tell us what the worst or scariest

99
00:12:22,699 --> 00:12:20,040
thing was that happened well it was

100
00:12:26,740 --> 00:12:22,709
definitely when the the progress cargo

101
00:12:30,170 --> 00:12:26,750
vehicle was about to hit the spectra and

102
00:12:31,970 --> 00:12:30,180
at that time I do something bad was

103
00:12:33,380 --> 00:12:31,980
going to happen and I follow the

104
00:12:35,660 --> 00:12:33,390
instructions of the crew and went

105
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:35,670
towards the Soyuz spacecraft which is

106
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:38,970
our 50 vehicle and for crew return of in

107
00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:41,760
case of an emergency and at the moment

108
00:12:45,050 --> 00:12:43,470
of impact that was probably the scariest

109
00:12:46,850 --> 00:12:45,060
moment because I didn't know what was

110
00:12:48,889 --> 00:12:46,860
going to break and how fast the air was

111
00:12:51,290 --> 00:12:48,899
going to rush out the door turned out it

112
00:12:54,199 --> 00:12:51,300
was ok and we managed to control the

113
00:12:56,870 --> 00:12:54,209
league and we feel dr. Spector Anatoly

114
00:12:58,819 --> 00:12:56,880
started work in doing the repair and

115
00:13:00,650 --> 00:12:58,829
establishment again of the power from

116
00:13:02,180 --> 00:13:00,660
that module for the station so it all

117
00:13:06,050 --> 00:13:02,190
worked out well but at that time I was

118
00:13:08,810 --> 00:13:06,060
quite scared are you at all frustrated

119
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:08,820
that so many problems kept you from

120
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:14,850
doing more scientific experiments well

121
00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:16,410
there are pluses and minus and when you

122
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:18,720
have problems the pluses are those that

123
00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:20,310
you suddenly find your serving you

124
00:13:23,569 --> 00:13:21,600
problems you didn't expect quite

125
00:13:26,060 --> 00:13:23,579
challenging ones for example I actually

126
00:13:28,250 --> 00:13:26,070
got to do a spacewalk and EBA without

127
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:28,260
atole quite unexpectedly I did not

128
00:13:32,030 --> 00:13:30,690
expect that because of the problems so

129
00:13:32,650 --> 00:13:32,040
that was a very interesting and

130
00:13:35,199 --> 00:13:32,660
rewarding thing

131
00:13:36,610 --> 00:13:35,209
for me to do however one of the mine

132
00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:36,620
instances that I didn't really start

133
00:13:41,230 --> 00:13:39,440
turning on some of the experiments I was

134
00:13:43,329 --> 00:13:41,240
meant to do imperata and so it's just

135
00:13:44,860 --> 00:13:43,339
this last week and so there's some

136
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:44,870
disappointment there but David's going

137
00:13:49,809 --> 00:13:46,370
to pickle those up and I hope he will

138
00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:49,819
execute them just fine and now I'd like

139
00:13:54,699 --> 00:13:51,769
to turn to the Russian commander of

140
00:13:56,769 --> 00:13:54,709
mirror Anatoly celeb commander with the

141
00:13:59,139 --> 00:13:56,779
new equipment that Atlanta has brought

142
00:14:00,699 --> 00:13:59,149
to a mirror how confident are you that

143
00:14:08,379 --> 00:14:00,709
the problems aboard the space station

144
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:08,389
will be eliminated the shuttle has

145
00:14:13,150 --> 00:14:10,730
delivered to mere new equipment oh my

146
00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:13,160
own with the help of which we hope to be

147
00:14:20,699 --> 00:14:15,920
able to obtain positive report results

148
00:14:23,230 --> 00:14:20,709
of repair right now it's too early to

149
00:14:25,269 --> 00:14:23,240
assess or to say that we'll be able to

150
00:14:27,069 --> 00:14:25,279
do everything successfully and that will

151
00:14:29,740 --> 00:14:27,079
be able to do all of this with regard to

152
00:14:31,749 --> 00:14:29,750
the repair but the chances are very good

153
00:14:39,009 --> 00:14:31,759
and very large and I think that in the

154
00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:39,019
course of one or two Evie ASAP at all

155
00:14:42,879 --> 00:14:40,910
what they put in having performed this

156
00:14:47,069 --> 00:14:42,889
repairs I think will have positive

157
00:14:49,179 --> 00:14:47,079
results and we will be able to say look

158
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:49,189
we'll be able to talk about the time

159
00:14:56,889 --> 00:14:51,290
when we'll be able to open up the hatch

160
00:14:59,379 --> 00:14:56,899
to Spector after mr. foal and Atlantis

161
00:15:06,100 --> 00:14:59,389
leave the space station what's the first

162
00:15:08,019 --> 00:15:06,110
order of business none of the shuttle

163
00:15:11,319 --> 00:15:08,029
has brought us a new computer we will

164
00:15:14,829 --> 00:15:11,329
replace the old one this will take do I

165
00:15:17,980 --> 00:15:14,839
put it two or three days Oh in fact

166
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:17,990
while the shuttle will still be here boo

167
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:21,970
both gravity will be some small repairs

168
00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:24,769
Portobello but we after the shuttle

169
00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:29,199
leaves right after two days we will be

170
00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:31,910
expecting a new cargo craft which will

171
00:15:37,629 --> 00:15:34,240
also be delivering equipment a resupply

172
00:15:40,660 --> 00:15:37,639
to the mere complex where this will

173
00:15:45,430 --> 00:15:40,670
allow us to continue our work but i

174
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:45,440
think my impressions are what we are

175
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:48,410
we're placing more of an emphasis on our

176
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:50,450
scientific work over the next couple of

177
00:15:55,450 --> 00:15:53,210
weeks and we have been doing this and

178
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:55,460
we've been working actively in

179
00:15:59,650 --> 00:15:57,290
scientific experiments and the

180
00:16:02,920 --> 00:15:59,660
percentage of our scientific work will

181
00:16:05,380 --> 00:16:02,930
continue to increase well you're seeing

182
00:16:06,970 --> 00:16:05,390
what do you make of the argument the

183
00:16:08,980 --> 00:16:06,980
criticisms from people like congressman

184
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:08,990
james sensenbrenner that another

185
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:11,210
American should not have gone to the

186
00:16:18,030 --> 00:16:15,770
mirror do not see a question on that

187
00:16:20,380 --> 00:16:18,040
I've thought long and hard about

188
00:16:22,450 --> 00:16:20,390
American involvement in this program and

189
00:16:24,460 --> 00:16:22,460
also whether someone that should follow

190
00:16:27,490 --> 00:16:24,470
in behind me and I think it's very

191
00:16:30,220 --> 00:16:27,500
important that he continued the work

192
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:30,230
here is not always easy and some of the

193
00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:31,610
experiments are interrupted by the

194
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:33,680
repair work in the the necessary

195
00:16:38,290 --> 00:16:36,050
maintenance to start on this station but

196
00:16:41,230 --> 00:16:38,300
the value in working together with our

197
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:41,240
Russian colleagues is I think priceless

198
00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:43,610
and as a result of that work that we're

199
00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:45,440
doing right now and the experience we're

200
00:16:50,620 --> 00:16:47,750
gaining not just with David myself and

201
00:16:52,810 --> 00:16:50,630
anatoly and our russian cosmonauts but

202
00:16:55,330 --> 00:16:52,820
also on the ground most important we

203
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:55,340
will do so much better a great space

204
00:17:00,370 --> 00:16:57,650
project together internationally with

205
00:17:02,650 --> 00:17:00,380
Russia know if you realize this but

206
00:17:04,540 --> 00:17:02,660
after you blast it off your mother was

207
00:17:06,460 --> 00:17:04,550
quoted as saying she hoped you would

208
00:17:16,120 --> 00:17:06,470
brought your screwdriver are you seeing

209
00:17:19,470 --> 00:17:16,130
what for your screwdriver up there there

210
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:19,480
goes my comb but here's my screwdriver

211
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:22,250
what have you been hearing from dr. pol

212
00:17:25,329 --> 00:17:24,050
what has he told you and shared with you

213
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:25,339
about what you can expect in the next

214
00:17:35,050 --> 00:17:31,760
four months he's assured be and that's

215
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:35,060
very clear an experience of my life this

216
00:17:42,250 --> 00:17:39,070
is just an amazing outpost of scientific

217
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:42,260
civilization with Russians meet

218
00:17:48,460 --> 00:17:44,930
Americans in orbit at 18,000 miles an

219
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:48,470
hour in an orbiting laboratory it's just

220
00:17:53,710 --> 00:17:50,810
an incredible place I wish you could get

221
00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:53,720
a panorama of the equipment and the gear

222
00:17:59,460 --> 00:17:55,600
and the people working behind

223
00:18:01,970 --> 00:17:59,470
this shuttling gear back and forth this

224
00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:01,980
is just an incredible of that going on

225
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:04,480
during the collision with the progress

226
00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:07,090
back in June you were inside can you

227
00:18:16,890 --> 00:18:09,520
describe for us what happened and what

228
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:16,900
it felt like the collision basically was

229
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:19,330
unexpected we were expecting the

230
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:21,970
progress to not talk with us for another

231
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:27,130
15 minutes or so but when I heard the

232
00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:28,690
collision there was just a son of a tall

233
00:18:32,610 --> 00:18:30,400
rumble in the station it was a bit like

234
00:18:35,909 --> 00:18:32,620
distant thunder at that time I thought

235
00:18:39,980 --> 00:18:35,919
it was behind us at the far end here

236
00:18:43,620 --> 00:18:39,990
where the focus is expected to talk on

237
00:18:47,970 --> 00:18:43,630
other than that the dark rumble and the

238
00:18:51,090 --> 00:18:47,980
thud nothing much else happened over

239
00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:51,100
about five or so more seconds we have an

240
00:18:54,630 --> 00:18:52,960
alarm signal is the Karaka klaxon and

241
00:18:56,279 --> 00:18:54,640
that went off telling us that the

242
00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:56,289
pressure was decreasing which confirmed

243
00:19:03,870 --> 00:18:58,960
my fear that we had had a breach of

244
00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:03,880
station fall very quickly after that my

245
00:19:09,029 --> 00:19:06,640
feelings were staged because I realized

246
00:19:12,539 --> 00:19:09,039
the pressure in my ears is not dropping

247
00:19:14,789 --> 00:19:12,549
very fast and so I knew immediately just

248
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:14,799
by the feeling in my ears that we had

249
00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:17,289
time to try and find the leak and close

250
00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:20,289
it off and that's how it turned out dr.

251
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:23,289
wolf briefly if you will explain what

252
00:19:28,919 --> 00:19:26,590
you expect to gain scientifically over

253
00:19:30,779 --> 00:19:28,929
the next four months or so and I assume

254
00:19:32,970 --> 00:19:30,789
that there's some experiments you'll

255
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:32,980
pick up that dr. pol didn't get a chance

256
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:40,690
to complete that's right we're doing a

257
00:19:46,260 --> 00:19:43,090
nice suite of experiments on the human

258
00:19:49,789 --> 00:19:46,270
cardiovascular system and bone and

259
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:49,799
mineral loss of the people's bones

260
00:19:56,250 --> 00:19:53,110
demineralized similar to osteoporosis of

261
00:19:58,620 --> 00:19:56,260
the elderly when were in space in

262
00:20:01,230 --> 00:19:58,630
looking very carefully at that and how

263
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:01,240
to prevent it exercise to keep the

264
00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:03,730
muscle atrophy from occurring we don't

265
00:20:07,910 --> 00:20:04,510
know how long

266
00:20:11,250 --> 00:20:07,920
how much or what type at this point

267
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:11,260
protein crystals and alloy production

268
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:14,170
our material sciences experiments and

269
00:20:17,790 --> 00:20:15,970
we're doing cancer research and

270
00:20:19,770 --> 00:20:17,800
preliminary work for our tissue

271
00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:19,780
engineering work that we plan for

272
00:20:24,450 --> 00:20:22,480
station looking at how cells go from
