the same 52 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:39,930 time you are built another new and very 53 00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:42,570 formidable and a strong bridge between 54 00:04:59,089 --> 00:04:57,120 India and

days ago I hope that maybe by chance 123 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:02,790 and the Koala came we'd be flying over 124 00:10:09,130 --> 00:10:05,610 some regions that folks to us and we 125 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:09,140 love it but the view of Somalia's is so 126 00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:12,810 magnificent that it really locks to all 127 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:19,200 of us as you can see on this video

are on day seventy six 131 00:10:40,730 --> 00:10:37,400 of our 91 day stay in this chamber and 132 00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:40,740 you're on day 14 or 15 out of one more 133 00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:43,920 day to go and we feel that the end of 134 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:46,110 this test is right around the corner 135 00:10:50,030 --> 00:10:48,210 we're wondering it's strange to see that 136 00:10:52,370 --> 00:10:50,040 we may have the same feelings on 137 00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:52,380 different duration flights well now to 138 00:10:57,020 --> 00:10:54,570 your right we're just about ready to 139 00:10:59,960 --> 00:10:57,030 finish our mission we only have one day 140 00:11:03,410 --> 00:10:59,970 left but it sure has flown by I hope 141 00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:03,420 yours has done the same if you're doing 142 00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:05,820 some good work and you've done some good 143 00:11:11,630 --> 00:11:07,710 science good research for a good fall 144 00:11:13,910 --> 00:11:11,640 cause things tend to go very quickly I 145 00:11:15,890 --> 00:11:13,920 just want to say hi to yourself and the 146 00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:15,900 Vicki we miss her and all the food that 147 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:18,510 she supports with and also the John and 148 00:11:25,790 --> 00:11:21,810 Laura and if I could I want to show you 149 00:11:27,890 --> 00:11:25,800 one thing now I was there when you went 150 00:11:30,890 --> 00:11:27,900 into the chamber and we took chatted a 151 00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:30,900 couple of times over email and I you 152 00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:33,690 folks it came up with a possible problem 153 00:11:38,750 --> 00:11:36,240 with iodine in the water and as you know 154 00:11:41,570 --> 00:11:38,760 there was a last-minute addition to our 155 00:11:42,980 --> 00:11:41,580 flight and thanks to your research that 156 00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:42,990 you're doing and then the folks on the 157 00:11:46,340 --> 00:11:44,880 ground find a solution we have that 158 00:12:03,040 --> 00:11:46,350 incorporated right here and let me show 159 00:12:08,890 --> 00:12:06,550 as your filtration system that takes out 160 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:08,900 our I indict a water we also have the 161 00:12:14,830 --> 00:12:12,170 filter and as you can see it just sucks 162 00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:14,840 in quite nicely between our cabinet on 163 00:12:19,870 --> 00:12:17,570 the Mar and the galley so it really 164 00:12:22,180 --> 00:12:19,880 hasn't been a an inconvenience at all 165 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:22,190 the water comes out a little bit slower 166 00:12:26,950 --> 00:12:24,770 but hopefully in long-term health 167 00:12:28,660 --> 00:12:26,960 benefits especially on the shuttle and 168 00:12:33,730 --> 00:12:28,670 the International Space Station will all 169 00:12:36,070 --> 00:12:33,740 benefit from it certainly can sympathize 170 00:12:37,510 --> 00:12:36,080 with you on that one Kevin and the hard 171 00:12:39,970 --> 00:12:37,520 way you have in your hand is one that I 172 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:39,980 had slated for STS 89 but I guess we'll 173 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:42,410 get another one for Terry for that we'd 174 00:12:45,130 --> 00:12:43,970 like to hand it on to John now I think 175 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:45,140 he has a couple of other questions for 176 00:12:53,260 --> 00:12:50,890 you morning yeah I'm glad to see that 177 00:12:55,690 --> 00:12:53,270 something that one of our former test 178 00:12:59,170 --> 00:12:55,700 directors worked on work great in the 179 00:13:01,750 --> 00:12:59,180 payload Bay and more was IDI was a 180 00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:01,760 Nigel's test director for his 15 days 181 00:13:07,540 --> 00:13:05,420 with the wheat plants and he was also 182 00:13:09,730 --> 00:13:07,550 one of the key guys working on the 183 00:13:11,230 --> 00:13:09,740 sprint cam I was wondering what your 184 00:13:16,060 --> 00:13:11,240 thoughts were on his performance in the 185 00:13:20,350 --> 00:13:16,070 CVA well we were real happy to get a 186 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:20,360 second chance for do a spacewalk and to 187 00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:23,450 fly the sprint and Steve did the flying 188 00:13:28,210 --> 00:13:25,670 of a sprint and if you saw any pictures 189 00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:28,220 of it it just handled like a dream it 190 00:13:33,460 --> 00:13:30,950 actually handled handling qualities 191 00:13:36,070 --> 00:13:33,470 better than the simulator and the 192 00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:36,080 virtual reality lab it really has 193 00:13:43,060 --> 00:13:38,570 tremendous potential the video was a 194 00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:43,070 little bit intermittent but we knew that 195 00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:44,750 going into the test because the antennas 196 00:13:49,810 --> 00:13:47,510 aren't optimized at this time but I 197 00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:49,820 think for future shuttle missions and 198 00:13:56,050 --> 00:13:51,740 definitely on the international space 199 00:13:57,490 --> 00:13:56,060 station that technology really has great 200 00:14:01,390 --> 00:13:57,500 potential and this is a homegrown 201 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:01,400 Johnson Space Center project it was done 202 00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:04,010 a very tight budget and the guys really
