I
look so sad for ffcc equivalents at
point seven is complete we had a good
fun radiometer takes values were about
125 or so for radiometer number one and
the droplet burned down to about 2.5
millimeters started off 25 millimeters
went down to about 2.5 and it looks like
it extinguished it was hard for me to
tell when the flame finally went out
looks like we got a little bit of
sitting on top of the threats and cover
that was causing a little bit of a halo
effect to me so I would sir exactly when
it extinguished bagatelle that wasn't
burning any smaller and then that where
we terminated it then turn the fan on
but it looked like a good burn okay we
got the all done and I believe here in
the ground they were watching in could
tell in fact when are they the droplet
did stop burning please you're not far
from the damage space station it must be
very bad feeling that you all are not
able to help them is there any way and
let me give this to gym all cell is
there any way you could help them if the
problems on mere got worse actually I
given oil but we cannot get to the
mirrors at a higher information orbit
that we simply don't have the the fuel
to reach at this point we did have the
opportunity as you mentioned to see me a
few days ago and actually I did not but
Susan did so let me let me pass it off
to her legit but you hear from her
actually Don and I saw Mary the other
night and it was spectacular you know is
the brightest thing in the sky and she
stops almost directly overhead of us and
on this close enough to reach out and
touch them and yes of course we wish we
could go help them unfortunately
Columbia can't get to that inclination
all right you're the viewer question
from Robert in England do our cold end
moments ago and he wants to know what
the most spectacular things you have
seen so far on this mission is might be
something in your space lab might be
something out the window you can run how
about it Roger crouch Chuck could you
take this the most spectacular thing you
have seen so far on this mission they've
got a bunch of people offering
opportunities I'll go firstly I think
the most spectacular thing I've seen on
this mission compared to my previous
flights or dust storms there's a
tremendous amount of dust blowing off
the African continent right now and it's
headed toward the west towards North and
South American to be able to see those
plumes of dust reach out those thousands
of miles and know that it's actually
what's happening in Africa is right now
impacting the weather in atlanta and all
across the united states it's an
interesting and privileged vantage point
for us to have to be able to see that
happening tell me was doing the most
work on the on the fire experiments the
fire in space this is a question
specific to that you could just pass the
microphone over to the fire and space
expert and the question is why are your
experiments on fire in the combustion
module so important during this mission
and what applications can these
experiments have for those of us who
probably will never get to fly in space
but who have a lot of experience with
fire down here on earth well you know
combustion is a very very important part
of our economy Billy hundreds of
billions of dollars a year are spent on
energy ninety percent of which comes
from combustion it's also a very very
important part of our foreign trade
deficit so if we can move the body of
knowledge of combustion science forward
that can have broad ramifications in all
areas of applied combustion science
automobiles should aircraft power plants
all kinds of things that use combustion
and so the experiments we're trying to
do up here and they're being very they
are very successful as well is to try
and move the fundamental knowledge of
combustion forward well I'm glad
everybody surviving anybody else have
any bad trouble up there was adaptation
syndrome as the Nats of speakers or
didn't most
you guys just kind of zoom through this
i think the real data point on this
whole flight is if you let it fly three
months apart the second time around the
adaptation is very quick almost painless
i would call it and i think that'll be a
medical point of interest for all the
doctors back home because they've never
really had this number people reply
that's quickly before it and i know
they're going to be interested in that
my interest now will be on landing to
see you sir what else rule coming into
orbit also rose through landing that is
I reacted patient do 1g is just as quick
and Columbia Houston we have a report of
an on-time landing of Mars Pathfinder
after that bill is great is you don't
have video for several more hours it is
that correct again that's correct it's
it's starting to go through the process
of you know writing itself and things
like that so they're not anticipating
even getting a signal for an hour or so
country of space that Spencer is
completely on step of it copy
from
you
and Columbia Houston yeah Jim I'm sorry
too sorry to interrupt you I'd yeah we
just we figured if you got to work on
the fourth of July this is absolutely
the best thing to be involved with we're
real proud of you guys thanks lad I'll
go turn the Navy right back here and a
lot of people on the ground waiting on
the fourth try to make this possible we
appreciate that
