sajan see you could close the folks you
passed powerful heavy collapse
good morning Atlantis mirror good
morning what a gym we have messages to
send up if you could throw tips on
yes I would like to open it and thank
commander anatoly's full of us and one
engineer Pavel Vinogradov for inviting
us I sent to their own for the last
several days they have been very
gracious their tremendous team they work
well together they have taught us a lot
and we thank them for being so gracious
it requires an awful lot of teamwork to
pull one of these missions together the
board with the course the rendezvous is
not just the pilots or the cruise but
all the folks on the ground and in the
tracking stations are on the world to
get the precise navigation required by
the way I feel very confident that has
the leer los attitude control we still
would have been able to dock with the
teamwork that we have and that we've
developed over the last several years
the teamwork started the course with our
two crews once we got a board and we
proceeded to transfer about 7,000 pounds
worth of water experiments back and
forth up and down and most important
transfer course with the 22 members of
bringing dr. david wolfe up and we'll
return c michael foale PhD after his
successful stay up on Mia as soon as we
leave in by the way I will not use dr.
Wolfe statement but I love what he says
when he closes each of his transmissions
for the gander he night with this little
statement about rich and I let him say
that a little bit later but the teamwork
that we have developed over the past
several years in the phase one program
has enabled us to pull one of these
kinds of missions together where we chat
for so many customers
comin up and down it's not just these
flights that requires with up a lot of
teamwork it's both space programs that
have been working together as a team and
learning from each other the different
programs have different requirements
they have different considerations they
use different techniques when they're
performing space lots when they're when
they're doing various things flying
around the vehicle and we have different
requirements but yet it works together
our vehicle has the capability of
bringing equipment and experiments down
the mirror is the only game in town in
the space station business and that they
have been very successful over the past
several years and performing experiments
and now we have the ability to bring
some of those results back down to the
earth and so it's a good team effort
this station is a beautiful station I
would like to also complement the
Russians on the resourcefulness their
ingenuity in designing the station and
building as fabricating and launching it
and extending it past its lifetime they
have done many experiments onboard we
will now continue that with the phase
one program and again it is the only
game in town with the teamwork that
we've developed in the last several
years we will continue that and bring it
into the future and build the
International Space Station we have
learned well together we've learned to
operate all the coordination that we
will use for the next several days as we
have
we perform the fly around will really
help as we build the International Space
Station I would also like to complement
the Russians on their ingenuity we still
don the way the leak is in the spektr
module but surely before our flight they
sent over a lot of hardware that we
brought up to help to identify the leak
and so hopefully we'll be able to help
in that area tomorrow and when we do the
fly around but if we don't they'll
perform several space walks over the
next several months and hopefully we'll
be able to solve the problem and get the
station back to its full capabilities
but if they don't it's still a beautiful
station and David is conducting
experiments there are experiments going
around and in various parts of the
station he is making some great
observations he's very excited about it
and he makes sure that he should shares
them with with all of us as we're
getting the chance for operations done
so it's been an exciting six days and we
really thank the Russians for inviting
us up here and I guess I'll leave it at
that and say it's been a great mission
for us we hope to be back on the planet
here in a couple days and we'll see
David Wolfe certainly when he comes back
after four months and hopefully he'll
make some amazing findings and collect
some more data which eventually put
together with the teamwork of the
private investigators down on the ground
the principal investigators on the
ground I think they have a good chance
of making some amazing discoveries so
it's been a great mission for us and we
we look forward to seeing you here in a
couple of days Michelle cordon with the
associated press for dr. Wolfe now that
you've been on mere for a few days is
there anything you wish you had to make
your stay more comfortable or something
you may have forgotten in the 2-pack and
the mad rush to get there I would have
brought to Wendy Lawrence's really one
did an awfully good job you should see
that laboratory it's very organized now
honestly I would have brought some more
short pants with the velcro and the
velcro pockets they're really use
mark Caro from the Houston crop for mike
foale in a brief and even if necessary
subjective sense could you sort of
describe what you think your
contribution was to the partnership I'm
glad for my own sake that I had a good
time here basically enjoyed myself I
learned you things my mind was opened up
a lot of things and most important I
gained are four very new the very close
friends who speak a totally different
language from the one yeah daddy will
need a yes David Shannon will experience
that I could really describe is to have
learned a new language in the last two
years and to have learn to communicate
and be close to four people in such a
way is something I had never expected as
a physicist studying only science
subjects in college in terms of the
experience in space my contributing
contribution was really one of just
being a member of a crew and when we
have people on board space vehicles they
are a crew in spite of their accents
maybe in my case all nationalities and
in that case I think we should always
think of the crew as a whole working
together and each person is contributing
in their own way and the best they can
to their abilities I can number a number
of little things that i did but i think
was special but i don't think they're
very important in the big picture of the
crew working together as a whole p call
Terry with the West Kentucky news
colonel t tov you've had a most
distinguished career some might even say
legendary what are your plans after this
flight do you hope to fly again either
on shuttle or with the Russian space
agency proposed Tito boom ok night vas
back leg and our new leech nest
takahashi plan a was Regina
planner Italy we add Alicia paliotta
good question
the application is not to say that I
don't know for sure and I think nobody
does no no what I will be doing in the
future but I think when i return to
Earth really quickly there will be some
results after this flight run avoid
there will be some plans some
implementation but of course I wouldn't
want to abandon my work currently
because I he'll show up I have a quite a
good experience and this experience
should be shared when I come back I'll
think about it when I suppose television
is a bleep gear caralluma quality from
Kerala my question these creatures to
their which is no keepers Russian
private salute you should another big
crew yo yo yo for mr. Chito mr. nasty
consequences everybody remembers what
will October force of nineteen fifty
means you were small you were between
ages 1 10 shoes but nevertheless we were
soon your total consciousness question
to you if a steady job in the history
behind most soldiers emit my gosh you
students education do you anticipate
such huge jumps quality jumps in the
future thank you for a good question we
have wonderful chance today in the foyer
Sarah presented by the two crews which
is present at the near atlantis complex
to congratulate all the citizens of
Carol off with the upcoming holiday this
is a great holiday which in 1957
probably shook the whole world from her
sister Roberta this is a fantastic event
which happened on October fourth the
first Sputnik was launched and many
people which took part in this event
still live in Carroll off with great
pleasure we congratulate the veterans
and all the people who work in this area
and all the citizens of Carol off and of
course I would like to wish them the
best happiness health success in each
family I would like to add to these
congratulations and I would like to say
that it would be difficult to expect in
the nearest future such a jump this was
a special event maybe only if we step on
Mars on any other planet I think what
was achieved 40 years ago was an
exclusive achievement nothing can
compare to the launch of a human into
space first of all I you were fading in
and out of a particular property I would
like for you to repeat your question but
I would also like beforehand to add my
words to the congratulations of
anatolian Pavel in regards to the
holiday moga critic of course Carol oof
is connected to the names of many of our
colleagues and to the names of people we
don't know by name but I would like to
congratulate all of my wonderful
colleagues with this wonderful holiday
but would you please repeat the
questions you know people from ten years
Nichols spacesuits during the American
space for more than 10 my father's
versions of your the commander's brief
results of the joint mission focus our
first far is custom on our lawn suit
and the American EV a suit they are very
similar functionally and that is natural
because they are for the same objectives
from these suits assure hundred percent
functionality for the work we have to
perform and that was proven during EDA
there are positives and negatives for
post shoot yes the only thing I would
like to say is your ability to positive
quality supposed to shoot if they would
be combined and one universal suit will
be designed for the future space station
that would be wonderful and I think many
people would say the same the question
left I know is that they are
complimentary it's been credible to me
that the Russians went one way we went a
different way and yet it's all up as if
the two different designs were built
that way intentionally which they
weren't the restaurants have a long
history of space achievements they have
been on the space station for 11 years
now permanently inhabited at the
Americans on the other hand have the
capability to transport a lot of
equipment up and down in the space
shuttle and so that complements the
Russian program Russians are very
resourceful American technology is
pretty superb I mean our flying vehicle
really flies very precisely it's
relatively easy to follow up and run
away with a space station and dock
because the system is so perfect it is
really that good and it's a very nice
flying machine when you come down and
land there are some problems that you
need to make sure you stay away from you
don't want to land
in bad weather etc but overall the
program is very technically competent
both of them are very good programs i
think the safety records are very good
and i think that we're actually building
on each other's programs and i think
together were much better and then if we
do it separately and that's the way
certainly our nation has has built
itself on on diversity and i think
together we can achieve greatness and
sunday go back to the moon and onto Mars
yes I goodies to summarize the results
of this mission or to say about the
benefits of this mission I wouldn't want
to talk about how many tons of cargo has
been delivered by the shuttle to the
mirror I wouldn't even talk about how
much the pressure was raised inside the
station plant just what would you say
what I wanted to talk about is that the
Atlantis is dark too near and the most
important thing is the two crews
American and Russian are working
together and the most important thing is
the desire to work together exists and
is implemented these missions very well
demonstrated for example yesterday we
were observing yesterday two cosmonauts
and astronauts working in the open space
in order for the station to continue
operating for a few days we work in
Michaels foot with michael foale also in
spacesuits in the open space hey I think
this is a wonderful experience is work
which bears practical fruit the station
functions Louis native earth are there
science results are achieved in every
day month year of the extension of the
station operation brings practical
results in our opinion we
begin to understand how the future will
have to work how will we function in
space in the future what would be the
positives and the negatives I think
that's the most important result of this
mission and the most important is that
two crews are here on orbit couple of
you question karana Theresa love you
Stella computer how do you evaluate the
new on-board computer system operation I
can only say which we heard from the MCC
but it just said good job guys thank you
village what I would like to distribute
the satisfaction expressed by the MCC to
all my friends who are working here we
installed the computer and it's working
perfectly
and we just want to say be careful down
there on earth it's awful close to the
ground and somebody could get hurt
good for day good morning Mike how are
you very well how do you know I both
standing by here saves my last day oh
please well make sure enough to get any
tackle those stupid news
you
