1
00:01:06,530 --> 00:01:02,970
Debra mayor Houston good morning little

2
00:01:06,540 --> 00:01:14,240
good morning Houston it sounds great

3
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:18,359
unfortunately and come to the time and

4
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:20,050
we must summarize what we have done

5
00:01:27,149 --> 00:01:24,130
together and again unfortunately come to

6
00:01:29,460 --> 00:01:27,159
the point where we speak of speak to our

7
00:01:35,669 --> 00:01:29,470
friends of farewells and until we meet

8
00:01:39,450 --> 00:01:35,679
again but this is natural because our

9
00:01:43,050 --> 00:01:39,460
lunch a few minutes ago we called our

10
00:01:46,499 --> 00:01:43,060
friends who work on the ground and who

11
00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:46,509
would also like to go into space to work

12
00:01:53,249 --> 00:01:48,070
on the MIR complex on the space shuttle

13
00:01:56,190 --> 00:01:53,259
and the time has come to say farewell to

14
00:01:59,780 --> 00:01:56,200
make way for others over the past few

15
00:02:02,039 --> 00:01:59,790
years which have passed very quickly

16
00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:02,049
that means that we've done quite a bit

17
00:02:11,009 --> 00:02:06,399
of work and we are intent with what we

18
00:02:14,699 --> 00:02:11,019
have accomplished we have good good

19
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:14,709
impressions a large number of good

20
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:16,570
results we hope are returning on the

21
00:02:21,620 --> 00:02:19,329
shuttle which is our hope and this is

22
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:21,630
why indeed people fly into space

23
00:02:28,020 --> 00:02:24,930
we hope that the results of these

24
00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:28,030
experiments will help everyone on the

25
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:31,260
planet I would like to express my thanks

26
00:02:38,819 --> 00:02:36,130
to everyone who trained the crews all

27
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:38,829
the specialists who helped in the

28
00:02:45,150 --> 00:02:42,010
training to perform all of these tasks

29
00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:45,160
and a great thanks to the commander of

30
00:02:50,670 --> 00:02:48,040
the space shuttle and to all of the crew

31
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:50,680
members because each tried to perform

32
00:02:57,390 --> 00:02:54,609
their tasks only in the most diligent

33
00:03:08,640 --> 00:02:57,400
and most excellent way thank you to

34
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:11,180
the men on this new space station

35
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:12,310
Kookaburra

36
00:03:18,119 --> 00:03:14,800
have asked for a better host or more

37
00:03:20,910 --> 00:03:18,129
professional cosmonauts I've never said

38
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:20,920
we met two more professional people the

39
00:03:26,789 --> 00:03:23,970
MIR space station itself is an extremely

40
00:03:33,740 --> 00:03:26,799
nice laboratory for doing scientific

41
00:03:37,530 --> 00:03:33,750
work in space it's been a wonderful

42
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:37,540
professional mission and I think we have

43
00:03:43,380 --> 00:03:39,310
accomplished 100% of the things that we

44
00:03:46,110 --> 00:03:43,390
came up here to do and very sad to leave

45
00:03:53,069 --> 00:03:46,120
to not only find cosmonauts that

46
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:53,079
excellent sense that was made up to I'd

47
00:03:57,979 --> 00:03:55,090
like to give that Dave wolf a chance to

48
00:04:02,940 --> 00:03:57,989
say something

49
00:04:05,250 --> 00:04:02,950
thanks Terry this has been an amazing

50
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:05,260
experience it's been one of the hardest

51
00:04:09,119 --> 00:04:07,690
of my life and I think Andy can expect

52
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:09,129
the same but that's how the best

53
00:04:14,479 --> 00:04:12,370
experiences in our lives must be in many

54
00:04:18,750 --> 00:04:14,489
cases we've made the best of friends

55
00:04:20,819 --> 00:04:18,760
with poeple and Anatoly I have to say

56
00:04:23,010 --> 00:04:20,829
that we are bringing together two of the

57
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:23,020
finest spacefaring nations in the world

58
00:04:28,379 --> 00:04:25,810
and the result that we're going to get

59
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:28,389
as we join forces in the International

60
00:04:33,810 --> 00:04:32,110
Space Station is going to be amazing the

61
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:33,820
whole cut but all of our countries will

62
00:04:38,540 --> 00:04:36,130
take part in this and enjoy this and we

63
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:38,550
will share in it and the results will

64
00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:41,889
design our future quality of life just

65
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:43,990
as massive the past design their current

66
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:47,050
quality of life and so enjoy taking part

67
00:04:58,420 --> 00:04:49,680
we want to share with all of you and

68
00:05:03,620 --> 00:05:01,670
so this is our a day of mixed feelings

69
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:03,630
for me because on the one hand the

70
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:05,250
shuttle is leaving and the funds that I

71
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:09,410
beam was will be leaving and flying home

72
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:11,970
I'll be staying here starting what would

73
00:05:16,159 --> 00:05:14,130
be a new phase of my life during

74
00:05:18,980 --> 00:05:16,169
probably what is one of the most unusual

75
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:18,990
things that anybody could do in this the

76
00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:21,840
last part of the 20th century so they're

77
00:05:25,820 --> 00:05:23,039
leaving that they'll just be the

78
00:05:32,930 --> 00:05:25,830
opportunity to start this adventure that

79
00:05:36,140 --> 00:05:32,940
I'm on so this is Mark Kuro with the

80
00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:36,150
Houston Chronicle newspaper for dr.

81
00:05:41,450 --> 00:05:39,120
Wolfe I wonder what you anticipate for

82
00:05:45,170 --> 00:05:41,460
yourself physically as you return to

83
00:05:47,330 --> 00:05:45,180
Earth do you look forward to a quick

84
00:05:49,820 --> 00:05:47,340
readapt ation to gravity do you think

85
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:49,830
it's going to be kind of drawn-out will

86
00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:52,110
it be kind of what your predecessors

87
00:06:05,659 --> 00:05:54,720
have encountered or are you going to try

88
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:05,669
to hurry it up you feel like a Superman

89
00:06:09,890 --> 00:06:07,440
you can lift a refrigerator with your

90
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:09,900
baby finger and so I'm feeling pretty

91
00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:11,280
good and we've been working out pretty

92
00:06:17,060 --> 00:06:14,340
hard and I expect to be able to walk off

93
00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:17,070
that shuttle and if the scientific

94
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:19,440
community will allow me that can harm

95
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:21,930
some of the results that we're looking

96
00:06:33,709 --> 00:06:24,330
for I'm looking for a pretty quick

97
00:06:35,740 --> 00:06:33,719
recovery this is Michele coid in with

98
00:06:38,990 --> 00:06:35,750
the Associated Press for Andy Thomas

99
00:06:41,149 --> 00:06:39,000
your new commander for Mir said today

100
00:06:44,149 --> 00:06:41,159
from Baikonur that your Russian is

101
00:06:46,999 --> 00:06:44,159
pretty poor and he's afraid that it's

102
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:47,009
going to have a negative impact on your

103
00:07:10,460 --> 00:06:49,050
work do you agree that it might affect

104
00:07:11,570 --> 00:07:10,470
your work communication will

105
00:07:17,630 --> 00:07:11,580
and farm looking forward to doing

106
00:07:21,550 --> 00:07:17,640
Madeline I can assure that Space Station

107
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:24,080
mr. Michelle caught him at the AAP again

108
00:07:29,090 --> 00:07:26,850
for commander Soloviev since the next

109
00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:29,100
commander of mir did expressed concern

110
00:07:35,750 --> 00:07:31,440
about Andy Thomas's Russian skills how

111
00:07:38,450 --> 00:07:35,760
would you say you rate his skills nd

112
00:07:40,580 --> 00:07:38,460
speaks very well in Russian I expect

113
00:07:43,790 --> 00:07:40,590
that there will may indeed be some

114
00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:43,800
problems however in the several days

115
00:07:49,130 --> 00:07:46,080
that we have worked together and the I

116
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:49,140
have not seen any problems I'm telling

117
00:08:00,650 --> 00:07:51,570
you this without any reservation you

118
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:00,660
speak very well I agree with Dave wolf

119
00:08:06,380 --> 00:08:04,050
that it's excellent environment for the

120
00:08:07,970 --> 00:08:06,390
learning of a language this is Seth

121
00:08:10,370 --> 00:08:07,980
Borenstein from the Orlando Sentinel for

122
00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:10,380
dr. wolf you've talked about in the past

123
00:08:13,820 --> 00:08:12,240
how you've had some down periods and

124
00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:13,830
some up periods during your four months

125
00:08:18,260 --> 00:08:16,740
can you tell us what the what

126
00:08:19,850 --> 00:08:18,270
precipitated the lowest periods what

127
00:08:46,490 --> 00:08:19,860
they were like and what precipitated the

128
00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:46,500
highest periods and what they were going

129
00:08:49,850 --> 00:08:48,000
out with the most experienced space

130
00:08:52,970 --> 00:08:49,860
Walker in the world for a private lesson

131
00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:52,980
this was anatoly sixteen space walk and

132
00:08:57,050 --> 00:08:54,480
when you put the carabiner on the

133
00:08:58,820 --> 00:08:57,060
outside and float outside and get a good

134
00:09:00,620 --> 00:08:58,830
look at what's really going on here

135
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:00,630
that's got to be one of the highest

136
00:09:09,980 --> 00:09:05,430
points in your life todd halvorson of

137
00:09:11,930 --> 00:09:09,990
florida today for the mere 24 crew could

138
00:09:14,030 --> 00:09:11,940
you tell us whether you think the

139
00:09:17,050 --> 00:09:14,040
shuttle-mir program has helped the

140
00:09:19,850 --> 00:09:17,060
United States and Russia bridge cultural

141
00:09:22,550 --> 00:09:19,860
technical and language barriers and

142
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:22,560
whether you think that experience will

143
00:09:27,269 --> 00:09:24,310
help both sides prepare

144
00:09:36,030 --> 00:09:27,279
for building the International Space

145
00:09:38,069 --> 00:09:36,040
Station there will be a great benefit as

146
00:09:39,869 --> 00:09:38,079
I look back at what we've all learned

147
00:09:41,369 --> 00:09:39,879
I'm talking about the people on the

148
00:09:43,499 --> 00:09:41,379
ground and the control centers the

149
00:09:46,049 --> 00:09:43,509
people that design these missions in

150
00:09:48,179 --> 00:09:46,059
kuranda cruise it would be hard to

151
00:09:50,309 --> 00:09:48,189
imagine pressing forward with the

152
00:09:51,809 --> 00:09:50,319
International Space Station not having

153
00:09:57,900 --> 00:09:51,819
had the experience of the joint

154
00:10:00,059 --> 00:09:57,910
shuttle-mir program bill Harwood Seabee

155
00:10:01,619 --> 00:10:00,069
yeah it's just a change of subject

156
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:01,629
question I know the flight control team

157
00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:03,370
down in Houston today took just a moment

158
00:10:07,619 --> 00:10:05,889
to recall flight 51l which of course was

159
00:10:09,299 --> 00:10:07,629
12 years ago today I was just curious if

160
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:09,309
you guys out there took a moment to

161
00:10:14,809 --> 00:10:10,720
remember that today or if you're too

162
00:10:22,650 --> 00:10:16,829
actually we took a moment to remember

163
00:10:23,999 --> 00:10:22,660
that last night was very well liked they

164
00:10:25,860 --> 00:10:24,009
say everyone remembers when that

165
00:10:27,740 --> 00:10:25,870
happened she brought it up to us and we

166
00:10:30,119 --> 00:10:27,750
took a moment to remember it last night

167
00:10:33,119 --> 00:10:30,129
bill Horne with CBS again also for

168
00:10:34,829 --> 00:10:33,129
Anatole Slav you have sir though I guess

169
00:10:36,990 --> 00:10:34,839
there's a half-dozen spacewalks or e VA

170
00:10:38,699 --> 00:10:37,000
schedules for the mere 25 crew coming up

171
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:38,709
and several of those are listed as

172
00:10:43,019 --> 00:10:41,290
Spector repair EVs

173
00:10:44,460 --> 00:10:43,029
if someone who's there and has looked at

174
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:44,470
this pretty intimately and worked on it

175
00:10:48,329 --> 00:10:46,720
yourself what do you think the prospects

176
00:10:53,850 --> 00:10:48,339
are of eventually being able to recover

177
00:10:58,850 --> 00:10:53,860
the use of Spectre downstream very

178
00:11:05,420 --> 00:10:58,860
urgent work undoubtedly it will require

179
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:05,430
extensive expenditures both material and

180
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:08,769
and physical effort on the part of the

181
00:11:15,780 --> 00:11:12,970
crew because it requires PVA and work

182
00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:15,790
inside the station but to say briefly

183
00:11:26,249 --> 00:11:19,480
it's a very urgent real work it's a good

184
00:11:29,119 --> 00:11:26,259
practice or the possible repairs to be

185
00:11:32,990 --> 00:11:29,129

all of you understand mirror very well

187
00:11:39,460 --> 00:11:38,030

188
00:11:42,790 --> 00:11:39,470
to build a new International Space

189
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:42,800

191
00:11:54,730 --> 00:11:48,110
have in terms of what you'd like to see

192
00:11:58,630 --> 00:11:54,740
in a new station I will take the lead in

193
00:12:00,430 --> 00:11:58,640
answering first yes it's true

194
00:12:02,530 --> 00:12:00,440

195
00:12:04,350 --> 00:12:02,540
International Space Station will be

196

launched into orbit

197
00:12:12,340 --> 00:12:09,140
as far as what we might desire this is a

198
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:12,350
very broad question but if - if we

199
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:15,290
answer it briefly we might want to pay

200
00:12:22,990 --> 00:12:18,530
attention to design and ergonomic human

201
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:23,000
factors aspects of the interior of the

202
00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:25,250
station there's a great deal of effort

203
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:27,680
that must be expended in this area and

204
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:43,150
you international station will be a

205
00:12:49,570 --> 00:12:45,970
great achievement of the two leading

206
00:12:54,450 --> 00:12:49,580
spacefaring nations and other countries

207
00:13:03,160 --> 00:12:54,460
it will be a work place it will be a

208
00:13:04,630 --> 00:13:03,170
major achievement place one shirts and

213
00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:12,200
