1
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:24,550

5
00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:32,479
looking in the base block of the beer

6
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:34,560
space station we just looked at the crew

7
00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:36,320
as we get ready to begin this interview

8
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:38,000
let's start with the shuttle commander

9
00:01:41,670 --> 00:01:39,680
terry wilkin terry you've had a couple

10
00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:41,680
days to get to me or a few days docked

11
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:43,119
you had a lot of stuff you needed to

12
00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:44,640
move back and forth tell me about the

13
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:46,640
progress of that and tell me

14
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:48,960
specifically about this huge air

15
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:51,040
conditioning unit that was added to your

16
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:52,880
cargo at the last minute have you moved

17
00:02:00,149 --> 00:01:55,200
it yet and uh was it a big hassle to get

18
00:02:04,069 --> 00:02:01,910
actually we've been uh we have been very

19
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:04,079
very busy and uh frankly we're ahead of

20
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:06,240
schedule it did take a couple days to

21
00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:07,520
get here you know to get things

22
00:02:12,630 --> 00:02:10,560
organized and the docking went extremely

23
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:12,640
well from our point of view and uh

24
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:14,160
frankly jim reilly is in charge of our

25
00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:15,840
transfer and he's got us ahead of

26
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:17,120
schedule and i'll let him tell you about

27
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:18,560
the air conditioning unit

28
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:19,920
okay

29
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:21,040
that's good

30
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:22,800
as you can see a happy looking crew go

31
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,350
yeah john everything's been going really

32
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:29,280
smooth with the joint efforts between

33
00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:31,120
our two crews we've managed to transfer

34
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:32,640
just about everything we've got over a

35
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:34,239
thousand items we've already transferred

36
00:02:37,910 --> 00:02:35,760
and we're just cleaning up the last ones

37
00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:37,920
right now the air conditioning unit

38
00:02:41,509 --> 00:02:39,599
unfortunately fit through the hatch with

39
00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:41,519
just a little bit of elbow grease but it

40
00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:42,879
works fine

41
00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:45,440
good i have a question for you and for

42
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:47,120
michael and

43
00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:50,000
and for pilot joe edwards uh you'll

44
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:51,360
remember when we talked in houston a

45
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:53,120
couple weeks ago i asked you to try to

46
00:02:59,110 --> 00:02:56,800
uh put your your brain on uh real uh

47
00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:59,120
intense record for the experience of

48
00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:01,200
going up into space for the first time

49
00:03:06,869 --> 00:03:02,720
so when we talked today you could tell

50
00:03:10,149 --> 00:03:08,550
all right john i remember your question

51
00:03:12,149 --> 00:03:10,159
and i did my best to try to remember my

52
00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:12,159
thoughts on accent but i tell you what

53
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:14,159
during the first few moments my thoughts

54
00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:16,239
were kind of overtaken by my senses as i

55
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:17,360
was kind of

56
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:19,760
inundated by the vibration and the light

57
00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:21,280
show and the sound and those are the

58
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:23,440
things that i remember most but uh right

59
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:25,440
after that the uh training took over and

60
00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:27,120
i was able to catch back up with the

61
00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:28,959
shuttle and pretty much uh monitor the

62
00:03:32,309 --> 00:03:30,799
systems just like we were trained but

63
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:32,319
although it was a pretty fantastic

64
00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:33,440
adventure

65
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:36,000
it looked great from the ground

66
00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:37,440
joe and jimmy you want to talk to me too

67
00:03:48,789 --> 00:03:47,110
yeah john it was uh it was pretty

68
00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:48,799
impressive from the inside it was so

69
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:50,720
amazing how calm i felt all the way up

70
00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:53,360
to the to the final uh final one or two

71
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:54,799
seconds and then as soon as things

72
00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:56,400
started rumbling i was kind of like mike

73
00:04:00,149 --> 00:03:58,080
it was kind of like wow

74
00:04:01,670 --> 00:04:00,159
this is it and then uh then it was

75
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:01,680
pretty impressive all the way to orbit

76
00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:03,120
and just watching the light over the

77
00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:04,799
overhead was was something that really

78
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:06,560
uh really impressed me

79
00:04:10,309 --> 00:04:07,920
my first thoughts when everything was

80
00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:10,319
going on was uh thinking about my family

81
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:12,159
and and the light show they were getting

82
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:13,760
which i thought was pretty

83
00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:15,599
pretty impressive inside i imagine they

84
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:17,120
thought it was pretty impressive outside

85
00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:18,880
too

86
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:19,919
i'll tell you why you passed the

87
00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:21,440
microphone our viewers were able to see

88
00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:23,120
the launch from a camera on top of the

89
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:25,120
vehicle assembly building which is up

90
00:04:28,870 --> 00:04:26,800
above where you guys were and so we

91
00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:28,880
watched the entire atlantic ocean light

92
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:32,000
up uh as uh as you guys zoomed past and

93
00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:34,080
it was loud and uh i imagined it was

94
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:36,160
more rumbly and rattly for you how about

95
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:40,310
well i don't know that i could add a

96
00:04:44,469 --> 00:04:42,160
whole lot to the sensations that mike

97
00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:44,479
and jim talked about but he has a navy

98
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:46,320
fighter pilot i'm flying at an altitude

99
00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:49,120
of 207 miles or so and i've gone 25

100
00:04:52,469 --> 00:04:50,639
times the speed of sound now so i'm a

101
00:04:54,150 --> 00:04:52,479
pretty happy camper

102
00:04:56,710 --> 00:04:54,160
i'll bet pass the mic down to andy

103
00:04:59,350 --> 00:04:56,720
thomas andy for the past couple of days

104
00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:59,360
there has been some concern about the uh

105
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:01,440
the spacesuit you'd have to wear to come

106
00:05:05,590 --> 00:05:03,280
home from beer in an emergency it didn't

107
00:05:08,070 --> 00:05:05,600
fit but you fixed it have there been any

108
00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:08,080
other surprises like that since you got

109
00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:09,600
to mirror things that you just did not

110
00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:15,510
uh regarding the spacesuit we did fix it

111
00:05:19,590 --> 00:05:17,440
the suit has a lot of adjustment in it

112
00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:19,600
and we were able to adjust it out and i

113
00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:21,680
was able to put it on and take it off

114
00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:23,199
satisfactorily and it was a very nice

115
00:05:26,790 --> 00:05:24,880
fit fit like a glove

116
00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:26,800
uh the only other surprise i've had is

117
00:05:29,749 --> 00:05:27,840
that

118
00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:29,759
there's an awful lot of stuff in there i

119
00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:31,520
mean it's like

120
00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:33,440
we've got stuff stowed in every nook and

121
00:05:37,830 --> 00:05:36,000
cranny on this vehicle and there's very

122
00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:37,840
little storage space and that's the

123
00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:40,000
biggest surprise that i've i've come

124
00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:42,720
across is just uh how restrictive we are

125
00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:44,720
on free storage space

126
00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:46,720
yeah andy before you pass the microphone

127
00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:49,600
off a senior russian space official said

128
00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:51,919
yesterday or the day before that the

129
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:53,759
suit problem you pointed out was not

130
00:05:57,909 --> 00:05:56,240
really a problem at all and i am a i

131
00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:57,919
don't speak russian as well as you do as

132
00:06:01,990 --> 00:06:00,400
you know but he expressed concern about

133
00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:02,000
your willingness to actually complete

134
00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:04,560
four months on mir at least he said that

135
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:06,000
talking about the suit was sort of

136
00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:07,840
capricious on your part and he was

137
00:06:12,309 --> 00:06:10,479
concerned that this capriciousness might

138
00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:12,319
might last through the mission how do

139
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:14,160
you feel about the mission at this point

140
00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:16,000
any chance you might not stay on mirror

141
00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:18,720
for any reason

142
00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:21,120
uh no i'm here to stay uh

143
00:06:25,029 --> 00:06:23,199
no the suit problem was really i mean i

144
00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:25,039
couldn't get it on i tried with uh

145
00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:27,759
anatoly the commander here several times

146
00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:29,840
to get it on and it was just impossible

147
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:32,080
until we uh made the adjustments and

148
00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:34,960
then it went on fine uh now i'm prepared

149
00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:37,919
to uh undertake this mission now and uh

150
00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:39,840
i'm looking forward to setting up our a

151
00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:42,560
home in the parody module and uh

152
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,319
getting some personal things out and

153
00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:46,479
making it livable and uh starting the

154
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:47,520
adventure

155
00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:50,800
pass the mic over to dave wolf if you

156
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:53,360
will dave you have given lots of advice

157
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:55,840
to andy since he came to relieve you i

158
00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:56,960
am sure i

159
00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:59,199
heard you were giving him some more uh

160
00:07:03,189 --> 00:07:00,960
last minute training this morning you've

161
00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:03,199
said it is hard you have said that

162
00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:06,080
murphy's law plays a major role in in

163
00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:08,080
mere operation what other kinds of

164
00:07:15,909 --> 00:07:13,830
well andy and i are very busy working

165
00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:15,919
together there's a lot of equipment here

166
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:17,759
to learn how to work

167
00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:19,199
we've had training on the ground but of

168
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:21,520
course it's a little different in actual

169
00:07:24,629 --> 00:07:23,120
use

170
00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:24,639
but there's a lot of hints on how to

171
00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:26,639
live and how to be efficient and how to

172
00:07:31,670 --> 00:07:29,280
keep track of your items and in fact how

173
00:07:32,710 --> 00:07:31,680
to keep out of each other's way and help

174
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:32,720
each other

175
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:34,880
and i've learned a lot about how these

176
00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:37,280
cosmonauts like to live and i'm trying

177
00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:40,560
to pass that knowledge on to handy

178
00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:42,960
yeah dave you said the other day you can

179
00:07:48,309 --> 00:07:46,720
feel really good in space and uh

180
00:07:50,550 --> 00:07:48,319
another interviewer didn't really follow

181
00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:50,560
up on that i am i'm fascinated by uh

182
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:52,960
what you mean by really good in space

183
00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:54,720
tell me more about that feeling is it

184
00:07:59,110 --> 00:07:56,720
can you feel better in space than you

185
00:08:00,790 --> 00:07:59,120
feel on earth or is it better on mirror

186
00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:00,800
than it is on the shuttle uh what is

187
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:08,469
well john it's really good and in fact i

188
00:08:12,869 --> 00:08:10,400
feel better today than when than when we

189
00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:12,879
last talked it has to do with your

190
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:14,960
mental perception of three dimensions

191
00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:17,440
and your ability to move around

192
00:08:23,029 --> 00:08:21,199
and your efficiency in motion

193
00:08:25,029 --> 00:08:23,039
if you're a scuba diver or your first

194
00:08:26,869 --> 00:08:25,039
few dives you may not be as comfortable

195
00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:26,879
and you know how you can get your job

196
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:28,080
done much

197
00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:30,160
when you get more experienced and it

198
00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:32,560
just keeps getting better and better and

199
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:35,039
and i still haven't peeked out and it's

200
00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:36,959
it's really good

201
00:08:40,389 --> 00:08:39,039
that's great dave hand the mic to your

202
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:40,399
mirror commander

203
00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:43,360
anatoly siloviov if you will commander

204
00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:45,920
we watched dave walt on his space walk

205
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:48,240
with you a couple of weeks ago during

206
00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:50,560
that walk it seemed that you were

207
00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:52,959
critiquing his every action telling him

208
00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:54,800
not to touch anything and not to move

209
00:08:59,430 --> 00:08:57,360
his feet what was your main concern

210
00:09:03,030 --> 00:08:59,440
during the space walk with wolf and and

211
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:32,949
it

212
00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:36,150
basically done by performed by dave i

213
00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:39,040
helped him sometimes when he asked me to

214
00:09:44,949 --> 00:09:42,080
so our functions

215
00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:44,959
of course were

216
00:09:49,910 --> 00:09:48,320
outstanding the experiment was performed

217
00:09:51,509 --> 00:09:49,920
very well and when we were moving along

218
00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:51,519
the station i

219
00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:53,760
was giving dave some hints because this

220
00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:56,240
is uh very naturally his first time in

221
00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:57,519
open space

222
00:10:02,230 --> 00:09:59,920
and we have a lot of uh

223
00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:02,240
equipment particularly in the area that

224
00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:04,640
we are for example there are star

225
00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:05,920
trackers

226
00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:08,000
and other equipment so i was uh

227
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:10,000
explaining to him the best way of

228
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:13,360
avoiding uh the equipment and i recall

229
00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:16,800
the first time i went out into space

230
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:18,959
first eva i did i was given the same

231
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:20,480
advice

232
00:10:24,069 --> 00:10:22,160
thanks commander we like the new haircut

233
00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:24,079
by the way for bonnie dunbar you've been

234
00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:26,480
conducting environmental experiments

235
00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:28,240
back in the space have all week what

236
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:30,160
should we know about these projects so

237
00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:32,560
far and uh one final question for you

238
00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:34,320
you've been demir before and said before

239
00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:36,560
launch you didn't expect to see much

240
00:10:42,389 --> 00:10:38,399
different is it much different than your

241
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:44,949
well to answer your last question uh

242
00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:46,720
it's nice to be back it's a lot more

243
00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:49,279
familiar than it was in 1995 and of

244
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:52,399
course anatoly was my commander at star

245
00:10:55,829 --> 00:10:54,240
city we trained together for a year so

246
00:10:56,870 --> 00:10:55,839
it was nice to come back and see him

247
00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:56,880
again

248
00:11:00,949 --> 00:10:58,880
uh the experiments that i'm working back

249
00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:00,959
on in a space hub are

250
00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:04,000
basically technology experiments for

251
00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:06,160
life support for future space stations

252
00:11:11,590 --> 00:11:09,200
and vehicles one of them the vra

253
00:11:15,269 --> 00:11:11,600
was designed to help

254
00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:15,279
purify water the other one the voa for

255
00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:17,440
detecting uh different compounds in the

256
00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:18,240
air

257
00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:20,399
and like in all technologies though you

258
00:11:24,389 --> 00:11:22,160
have to test them sometime in their real

259
00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:24,399
environment these devices were designed

260
00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:25,680
on the ground to operate in a

261
00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:27,600
microgravity environment and as you know

262
00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:29,040
we don't have any

263
00:11:33,030 --> 00:11:31,440
weightless rooms on the earth so you

264
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:33,040
have to bring them to space to test them

265
00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:34,640
and right now we're testing them i think

266
00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:37,839
dra unfortunately experienced a shutdown

267
00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:39,440
of one of its regulators but we're

268
00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:41,360
working on voa and we hope to bring it

269
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:43,120
back up today and we'll gain a lot of

270
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:45,040
valuable information on it that'll feed

271
00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:46,480
into the future

272
00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:48,160
all right we're all out of time for

273
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:49,519
those of you we didn't get to talk to

274
00:11:53,110 --> 00:11:51,200
i'm sorry about that but uh we'll look

275
00:11:54,790 --> 00:11:53,120
forward to seeing many of you back on

276
00:11:56,870 --> 00:11:54,800
earth soon and andy thomas we'll talk to

277
00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:56,880
you in space again hopefully in the next

278
00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:58,480
few weeks to see how you're settling in

279
00:12:39,190 --> 00:11:59,920
it's good to see all of you you look

280
00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:41,030
this is mission control houston and this

281
00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:42,880
view once again of the double space app

282
00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:45,200
module in endeavors payload bay in the

283
00:12:49,670 --> 00:12:47,440
aft section of the space hub module is

284
00:12:51,430 --> 00:12:49,680
mission specialist bonnie dunbar and in

285
00:12:53,829 --> 00:12:51,440
the foreground mission specialist jim

286
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:53,839
reilly and with his back to the camera

287
00:13:02,389 --> 00:12:56,320
dave wolf who has just completed his 119

288
00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:03,990
the astronauts have just completed

289
00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:05,600
stowing away one of the experiments that

290
00:13:09,190 --> 00:13:07,680
was conducted during wolf's tenure on

291
00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:09,200
the mir space station for its return

292
00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:10,560
trip back to earth and have been

293
00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:12,480
conversing over the past several minutes

294
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:14,079
with the scientific community here in

295
00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:16,639
houston to ensure that the stowage was

296
00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:19,200
accomplished properly

297
00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:20,639
and to provide the status of that
