00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:11,430
good evening to all of you from phoenix

30
00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:13,360
if i could address perhaps this first

31
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:15,519
question to mission specialist andrew

32
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:16,640
thomas

33
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:19,200
andrew we've heard much talk today about

34
00:03:23,509 --> 00:03:21,599
this space suit that apparently did not

35
00:03:28,790 --> 00:03:23,519
fit maybe you could tell us about that

36
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,710
uh yeah the suit that i would wear in

37
00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:32,640
the event of needing to do an emergency

38
00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:34,799
evacuation in the soils

39
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:37,040
uh it wasn't quite sized properly and

40
00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:39,680
when i tried it on yesterday and to do a

41
00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:41,599
pressure test of the suit it wouldn't

42
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:43,599
fit i couldn't get it on this morning we

43
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:44,879
made some adjustments there's some

44
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:47,120
adjusting strokes on the suit and after

45
00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:48,640
we did that i was able to down and off

46
00:03:51,589 --> 00:03:49,920
the suit properly and we did the

47
00:03:52,869 --> 00:03:51,599
pressure checks and it worked out fine

48
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:52,879
now so

49
00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:54,720
i feel good about it

50
00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:56,319
that's why you should never travel

51
00:04:02,149 --> 00:03:58,879
without your sewing kit okay if i could

52
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,159
talk to commander terence wilcott now

53
00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:04,560
commander why don't you describe the

54
00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:07,040
area that you're in for us and maybe

55
00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:14,229
well it's uh we're in the mirror base

56
00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:17,280
block and uh this is uh the area we're

57
00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:19,359
surrounding is their kitchen table

58
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:21,840
basically and i guess like uh most homes

59
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:24,080
uh guests like to gather in the kitchen

60
00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:26,479
and also in here we have the cosmonauts

61
00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,639
sleeping quarters off to right just

62
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:30,479
behind me to the left and over to the

63
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:32,160
right

64
00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:33,280
they've got

65
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:35,680
the main control for the entire

66
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:37,360
newer space station located in front of

67
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:39,040
us behind the camera as you would be

68
00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:40,240
looking at us

69
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:42,240
and also there's other things that would

70
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:45,360
make life comfortable here there's a

71
00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:46,720
cassette player

72
00:04:51,830 --> 00:04:49,600
other lots of camera equipment movies

73
00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:51,840
books you name it this is where people

74
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:54,080
gather to live

75
00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:56,880
also pilot joe edwards is uh joe frank

76
00:05:02,390 --> 00:04:59,840
edwards is also aboard i'm assuming that

77
00:05:04,629 --> 00:05:02,400
there's been much talk about sending

78
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:04,639
john glenn back into space there that's

79
00:05:11,029 --> 00:05:06,800
been a lot of talk amongst the crew what

80
00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:13,749
well we're actually we're all excited to

81
00:05:17,110 --> 00:05:15,440
see him coming back to the office and

82
00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:17,120
looking forward to sitting around with

83
00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:19,440
him and talking and and i guess pretty

84
00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:20,880
much everyone here looks forward to

85
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:23,440
having the opportunity to fly with him

86
00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:25,520
okay endeavor this is wsbt how do you

87
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:27,840
hear me

88
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:30,080
loud and clear go right ahead

89
00:05:34,550 --> 00:05:31,759
all right some questions for our fellow

90
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:34,560
hoosier uh dr wolfe who was up there uh

91
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:36,560
doctor you have just passed a milestone

92
00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:39,360
of sorts four months in space uh

93
00:05:43,590 --> 00:05:41,120
question would be despite the rigorous

94
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:43,600
training that you go through any mental

95
00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:46,160
or physical problems that you never

96
00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:48,000
thought of being up in space for four

97
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:53,270
well it surprised me just how good a

98
00:05:57,670 --> 00:05:55,840
person can feel in space uh even after

99
00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:57,680
four months i still feel better and

100
00:06:01,510 --> 00:05:59,120
better every day

101
00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:01,520
and uh it's amazing the human body can

102
00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:03,039
adapt so well

103
00:06:06,309 --> 00:06:04,960
it's a heavy workload and that's

104
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:06,319
something that you just have to be

105
00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:08,160
prepared to do when you work in space

106
00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:10,800
but we got a lot done

107
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:13,120
uh you will have a colleague in space

108
00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:16,000
senator john glenn who was a good by the

109
00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:18,240
time he gets up there he's 35 years

110
00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:19,680
older than you

111
00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:21,440
your view on that of course he's a man

112
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:28,870
i think that would just be fantastic to

113
00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:30,400
bring senator glenn back into the

114
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:32,560
astronaut office and to fly again it

115
00:06:37,350 --> 00:06:34,400
would be a great privilege any of us

116
00:06:39,189 --> 00:06:37,360
would love to do that

117
00:06:41,189 --> 00:06:39,199
uh if you could tell us uh the image of

118
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:41,199
the space station mirror and to a great

119
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:42,960
degree it's perpetuated by stand-up

120
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:45,120
comics uh down here on earth is that

121
00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:46,960
it's somehow a contraption held together

122
00:06:53,909 --> 00:06:49,840
by duct tape and baling wire that can't

123
00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:55,189
well i can assure you that the

124
00:07:01,189 --> 00:06:58,639
workmanship is of the highest quality

125
00:07:03,029 --> 00:07:01,199
possible the welds are the finest

126
00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:03,039
quality all the electrical wiring and

127
00:07:07,189 --> 00:07:05,280
connectors are pristine

128
00:07:10,469 --> 00:07:07,199
uh of course it could use some new

129
00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:10,479
carpet and uh some fixing up but it's

130
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:13,280
mostly cosmetic it's a very safe station

131
00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:16,479
and commander celovia here maintains it

132
00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:18,479
and as does provo

133
00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:21,120
vinogradov the main engineer

134
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:23,680
in top condition

135
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:25,440
uh doctor why don't you tell us

136
00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:26,880
what we see on the screen what is

137
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:28,960
surrounding you up there right now that

138
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:33,909
what you're looking at is the dinner

139
00:07:37,029 --> 00:07:34,880
table

140
00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:37,039
and kind of the main living area where

141
00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:39,039
people gather there's some tools over

142
00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:39,840
there

143
00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:44,560
computers where we receive mail and

144
00:07:48,870 --> 00:07:46,560
operational information

145
00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:48,880
this is where we get water

146
00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:52,080
that's the food over there so this is

147
00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:55,120
kind of a kitchen gathering place and

148
00:08:00,390 --> 00:07:58,319
also kind of a work table area

149
00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:00,400
doctor your view uh somewhere down the

150
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:03,360
road of the merits of say a u.s based

151
00:08:11,830 --> 00:08:10,070
well it's an international space station

152
00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:11,840
on the books we'll begin assembling it

153
00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:13,360
later this year

154
00:08:19,909 --> 00:08:15,680
and it includes many countries europe

155
00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:19,919
japan uh south america north uh canada

156
00:08:25,029 --> 00:08:22,960
uh and of course our main partners are

157
00:08:26,629 --> 00:08:25,039
russia and in fact we're on of course a

158
00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:26,639
russian space station right now and they

159
00:08:31,270 --> 00:08:28,960
bring a great deal of experience

160
00:08:32,709 --> 00:08:31,280
to the table

161
00:08:41,190 --> 00:08:32,719
uh i have to ask did you get to watch

162
00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:44,870
did we get to watch it no i'm afraid not

163
00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:46,000
because there was some talk that they

164
00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:47,680
might try to get the feed to you but you

165
00:08:50,150 --> 00:08:48,959
you didn't get to see it i was just

166
00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:50,160
wondering what your

167
00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:51,680
russian colleagues might have thought of

168
00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:53,680
american football up there but they were

169
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,670
so while we asked them

170
00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:05,190
football

171
00:09:24,310 --> 00:09:22,150
you have to not only live it and feel it

172
00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:24,320
to be able to appreciate it

173
00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:26,480
well he said that he's only one time

174
00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:28,320
been to a real american football game

175
00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:30,959
but it's not a big tradition in russia

176
00:09:36,310 --> 00:09:33,920
but uh as in any sport event it's a

177
00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:36,320
great thing to go to

178
00:09:40,949 --> 00:09:38,720
and doctor final question for you what

179
00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:40,959
has this meant to you personally you

180
00:09:54,550 --> 00:09:44,000
know expanding your thoughts your mind

181
00:09:58,870 --> 00:09:56,550
it's incredible what it what this does

182
00:10:00,550 --> 00:09:58,880
psychologically to a person uh to be

183
00:10:02,829 --> 00:10:00,560
away from the earth and then come back i

184
00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:02,839
can only hope that i can drag back the

185
00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:12,550
pulling in in your car to a stop and go

186
00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:14,399
and getting a cup of coffee sounds like

187
00:10:18,470 --> 00:10:16,720
just a great great deal of fun to me and

188
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:18,480
i hope that every little thing is as fun

189
00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:20,160
as it seems like it will be i'm going to

190
00:10:24,470 --> 00:10:22,800
try to hold on to that

191
00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:24,480
that would be what would what's your

192
00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:26,000
lasting memory you think will be of

193
00:10:40,310 --> 00:10:38,310
it's our partnership between the people

194
00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:40,320
the relationship that we develop between

195
00:10:43,829 --> 00:10:41,040
the

196
00:10:44,949 --> 00:10:43,839
between ourselves and in fact that's a

197
00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:44,959
big part of the goal of the

198
00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:46,959
international space station is to it's

199
00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:48,720
probably the biggest project ever been

200
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:50,880
attempted in peace time between

201
00:10:55,350 --> 00:10:52,720
countries and uh

202
00:10:58,389 --> 00:10:55,360
it it'll be a great difficulty and a

203
00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:58,399
great uh benefit to as we do this

204
00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:01,200
international space station

205
00:11:09,430 --> 00:11:03,120
it must make you feel that it really is

206
00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:11,190
yeah we get around it about every hour

207
00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:13,440
and a half

208
00:11:16,870 --> 00:11:14,880
where are you right now as we are

209
00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:16,880
speaking you are still over russia i

210
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:18,560
knew you were as before we went into the

211
00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:25,350
we're just approaching the east coming

212
00:11:29,190 --> 00:11:27,279
off the east coast of siberia

213
00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:29,200
approaching japan

214
00:11:34,470 --> 00:11:32,399
in the western pacific

215
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:34,480
when we first started talking with you

216
00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:36,720
we were just north of india we've maybe

217
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:37,519
gone

218
00:11:44,949 --> 00:11:43,350
to those of us who are you know forever

219
00:11:46,630 --> 00:11:44,959
down here on earth i mean it just it

220
00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:46,640
seems so fascinating i mean

221
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:48,800
almost you can't even understand it

222
00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:50,000
did you really have to get up there

223
00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:52,160
doctor to to get a feel for all of that

224
00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:54,240
no matter how much training you had you

225
00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:01,910
i guess uh the the space travelers

226
00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:03,920
paradox is that

227
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:06,720
it's it's incredible to describe the

228
00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:08,320
feelings and the

229
00:12:12,550 --> 00:12:11,360
the emotions and what you see

230
00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:12,560
in space

231
00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:13,920
uh

232
00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:16,240
it's frustrating to try to describe but

233
00:12:20,550 --> 00:12:18,399
you and in fact you do have to be here

234
00:12:22,310 --> 00:12:20,560
to feel it but we sure want to try to

235
00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:22,320
share it with the whole world in fact we

236
00:12:26,150 --> 00:12:23,920
look at that as an important part of our

237
00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:26,160
job

238
00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:28,240
and doctor tell us then just how your

239
00:12:32,069 --> 00:12:30,320
journey will finish give us the dates

240
00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:32,079
and the times where you'll be landing in

241
00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:40,389
uh

242
00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:43,040
we're going to be unbacking day after

243
00:12:46,629 --> 00:12:44,399
tomorrow

244
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:46,639
and then we'll spend a day and a half in

245
00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:49,279
orbit preparing for entry and

246
00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:51,120
then this great crew that's practiced so

247
00:12:56,230 --> 00:12:54,160
hard to do fly the space shuttle will

248
00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:56,240
do their good work and we will land on

249
00:13:03,190 --> 00:12:59,519
the 31st i believe at about six in the

250
00:13:05,269 --> 00:13:03,200
