international space station about an

81
00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:25,040
hour and 15 minutes ago we have uh the

82
00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:27,599
video to replay for you of the final

83
00:03:30,309 --> 00:03:29,200
minute or so of the approach of the

soyuz

85
00:03:34,070 --> 00:03:31,200
the

86
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:34,080
approach again was flawless it occurred

87
00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:35,200
on time

88
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:37,519
no issues associated whatsoever as you

89
00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:39,040
see from the truss camera on the

90
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:41,280
international space station a good view

91
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:43,680
of the tma-17 that was launched two days

92
00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:46,000

williams and max cerreo and to begin a

103
00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:13,120
very complex

104
00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:15,519
month or so of work to prepare the

105
00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:17,600
international space station for the

106
00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:21,199
attachment of the new tranquility node 3

107
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:23,600
and the new viewport called the cupola

108
00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:26,479
that will occur on the sts-130 mission

109
00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:28,000
of the shuttle endeavor that is

110
00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:29,440
scheduled to launch from the kennedy

111
00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:32,560
space center on february 7th and again

112
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:34,560
you're watching the replay of the actual

113
00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:37,520
docking the contact and capture of the

114
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:41,280
soyuz tma17 that occurred at 4 48 pm

115
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:45,120
central time 1 48 a.m moscow time we are

116
00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:47,600
expecting uh the hatches to swing open

117
00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:49,840
about 30 minutes from now perhaps a bit

118
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:52,080
sooner than that the crew on board the

119
00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:53,120
station

120
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:54,639
once saw the hooks and latches were

121
00:04:59,030 --> 00:04:56,880
engaged between the two vehicles had an

122
00:05:01,029 --> 00:04:59,040
opportunity to begin the leak checks

123
00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:01,039
with surrey of conducting the leak check

124
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:03,039
on the russian segment side of the

125
00:05:07,909 --> 00:05:06,160
docking interface between the soyuz and

126
00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:07,919
the

127
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:09,680
zarya module you're looking at

128
00:05:13,189 --> 00:05:11,840
expedition commander jeff williams there

129
00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:13,199
in the destiny laboratory of the

130
00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:15,520
international space station as he begins

131
00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:17,759
to set up cameras and set up shop for

132
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:20,720
the hatch opening that will join kotov

133
00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:23,600
creamer and agucci with williams and max

134
00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:37,990
as we mentioned a moment ago uh williams

135
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:40,240
and sarajev have been by themselves on

136
00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:41,680
board the international space station

137
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:43,759
for the past three weeks following the

138
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:46,160
departure of roman romanenko frank

139
00:05:50,710 --> 00:05:48,400
dewina and bob thirsk from the

140
00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:50,720
international space station and now a

141
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:52,960
five-man crew back on board the complex

142
00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:55,360
to begin a very intricate series of

143
00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:57,600
activities uh that will lead to the

144
00:06:01,430 --> 00:05:59,520
delivery of the final segments as we

145
00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:01,440
head into the home stretch of station

146
00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:03,600
assembly here's a look at the five-man

147
00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:11,590
what do you get when you mix two

148
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:14,560
american army officers with two russian

149
00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:17,280
air force officers and one japanese

150
00:06:21,189 --> 00:06:18,400
engineer

151
00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:21,199
you get five pilots serving together as

152
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:22,880
the international space station's

153
00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:25,199
expedition 22.

154
00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:27,759
retired u.s army colonel jeff williams

155
00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:30,240
was born in superior wisconsin on the

156
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:32,960
shores of lake superior he grew up from

157
00:06:38,469 --> 00:06:35,680
the third grade on on a farm in the town

158
00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:38,479
of winter wisconsin a place you can see

159
00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:41,120
from space if you know where to look as

160
00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:43,680
best i could tell prior to expedition 13

161
00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:44,960
nobody had ever

162
00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:46,800
got a good picture of

163
00:06:50,629 --> 00:06:48,720
winter or the area

164
00:06:52,870 --> 00:06:50,639
of winter wisconsin

165
00:06:55,029 --> 00:06:52,880
so that was on my target list of course

166
00:06:56,710 --> 00:06:55,039
and i got some great shots in fact some

167
00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:56,720
of the shots i took through the 800

168
00:07:01,749 --> 00:06:59,199
millimeter camera you could see the

169
00:07:03,830 --> 00:07:01,759
buildings on the farm that i grew up on

170
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:03,840
as a boy williams never dreamed of

171
00:07:07,589 --> 00:07:05,840
becoming an astronaut but he was

172
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:07,599
interested in science

173
00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:09,440
his father was the high school guidance

174
00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:12,560
counselor and he guided his son to apply

175
00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:14,960
to the u.s military academy where

176
00:07:19,749 --> 00:07:17,919
williams was introduced to army aviation

177
00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:19,759
competed on the west point sport

178
00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:21,120
parachute team

179
00:07:25,189 --> 00:07:23,599
and read the right stuff which opened

180
00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:25,199
his eyes to the connection between

181
00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:27,840
aviation and the space program and it

182
00:07:31,029 --> 00:07:29,680
was at that time as a cadet at west

183
00:07:33,029 --> 00:07:31,039
point that i

184
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:33,039
realized the potential and made it a

185
00:07:36,870 --> 00:07:34,880
personal objective

186
00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:36,880
to become part of

187
00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:38,080
this program

188
00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:40,160

to become a cosmonaut i could not even

232
00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:27,829
i am a military brat and the idea was to

233
00:09:31,829 --> 00:09:29,040
become

he applied to become a cosmonaut

243
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:51,040
thinking it was another way to develop

253
00:10:16,230 --> 00:10:13,839
that is invaluable

309
00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:37,600
well i really like

310
00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:38,720
all the

311
00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:40,560
rockets and

312
00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:43,600
spacecrafts and space adventures when i

313
00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:46,160
was a childhood i watched all the movies

314
00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:49,200
like star wars or star treks or the

315
00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:52,000
japanese anime which

316
00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:54,320
maintained with the space adventure

317
00:12:59,030 --> 00:12:56,560
naguchi kept his interest in space as he

318
00:13:01,110 --> 00:12:59,040
grew up in the 70s and early 80s and

319
00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:01,120
that interest came into focus one day

320
00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:03,440
during his freshman year in high school

321
00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:07,120
i saw the space shuttle sts-1 go up

322
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:09,760
on television and i thought wow this is

323
00:13:13,269 --> 00:13:10,880
a great

324
00:13:16,310 --> 00:13:13,279
carrier great profession i wonder if i

325
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:16,320
can be someday like a space

326
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:17,440
traveler

327
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:19,600
there weren't any japanese astronauts

328
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:20,560
then

329
00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:22,880
but naguchi got his pilot's license and

330
00:13:27,509 --> 00:13:25,440
concentrated on space-related technology

331
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:27,519
in his studies for a bachelor's and a

332
00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:29,360
master's degree in aeronautical

333
00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:32,240
engineering at the university of tokyo

334
00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:34,399
japanese astronauts did finally fly in

335
00:13:39,030 --> 00:13:36,800
space during naguchi's five years in

336
00:13:40,550 --> 00:13:39,040
private industry designing and testing

337
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:40,560
aircraft engines

338
00:13:45,350 --> 00:13:43,440
in 1996 the japanese space agency

339
00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:45,360
selected him for astronaut training at

340
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:48,000
nasa's johnson space center in houston

341
00:13:52,069 --> 00:13:50,240
his first trip to space was on the space

342
00:13:55,829 --> 00:13:52,079
shuttle's return to flight mission in

343
00:13:58,069 --> 00:13:55,839
2005 when he made three spacewalks what

344
00:14:00,230 --> 00:13:58,079
we are doing is definitely motivate the

345
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:00,240
uh the young kids like

346
00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:02,560
i wasn't motivated by watching the

347
00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:04,000
shuttle go up

348
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:06,320
and pursue my scientific

349
00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:07,360
career

350
00:14:10,550 --> 00:14:08,399
so

351
00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:10,560
i hope that the younger generation by

352
00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:13,920
watching us and the space station

353
00:14:21,189 --> 00:14:17,040
motivated yet motivated and pursue their

354
00:14:23,670 --> 00:14:21,199
career for the science and technology

355
00:14:25,269 --> 00:14:23,680
u.s army colonel t.j creamer had a

356
00:14:28,230 --> 00:14:25,279
boyhood interest in science and

357
00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:28,240
technology but the astronaut part came

358
00:14:32,230 --> 00:14:29,440
much later

359
00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:32,240
he was born at fort huachuca arizona

360
00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:34,800
just the first of dozens of homes for a

361
00:14:38,389 --> 00:14:36,880
child of the military well i started

362
00:14:39,829 --> 00:14:38,399
bouncing around with dad because dad was

363
00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:39,839
in the army and

364
00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:41,519
to complete that thought i think i've

365
00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:43,680
moved 23 times to get to houston

366
00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:45,360
with his military career and my military

367
00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:46,320
career

368
00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:48,560
by the time his parents retired and the

369
00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:50,320
family settled in upper marlboro

370
00:14:54,870 --> 00:14:52,720
maryland creamer was taking steps on a

371
00:14:56,790 --> 00:14:54,880
road that would lead to his career

372
00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:56,800
in elementary intermediate and high

373
00:14:59,110 --> 00:14:57,600
school

374
00:15:01,350 --> 00:14:59,120
my instructors

375
00:15:02,389 --> 00:15:01,360
my teachers urged me into the math and

376
00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:02,399
sciences

377
00:15:07,509 --> 00:15:05,040
i had an act i enjoyed it they pushed me

378
00:15:09,269 --> 00:15:07,519
in towards the scientific realm i'm old

379
00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:09,279
enough to actually have seen neil

380
00:15:13,110 --> 00:15:11,040
armstrong walk on the moon so there's

381
00:15:15,269 --> 00:15:13,120
another yet another spark

382
00:15:17,670 --> 00:15:15,279
after finishing his bachelor's degree in

383
00:15:19,829 --> 00:15:17,680
chemistry at loyola college in baltimore

384
00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:19,839
while a member of the rotc

385
00:15:24,550 --> 00:15:22,240
creamer started his army career in the

386
00:15:26,790 --> 00:15:24,560
armor branch before completing army

387
00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:26,800
aviation school and being assigned as a

388
00:15:31,509 --> 00:15:29,120
helicopter pilot he later earned a

389
00:15:34,069 --> 00:15:31,519
masters in physics at mit

390
00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:34,079
and taught physics at west point

391
00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:35,680
and when he chose research and

392
00:15:39,670 --> 00:15:38,079
development as a secondary specialty

393
00:15:40,949 --> 00:15:39,680
creamer began receiving a new

394
00:15:43,350 --> 00:15:40,959
publication

395
00:15:44,389 --> 00:15:43,360
the first issue i got the inside back

396
00:15:46,629 --> 00:15:44,399
cover

397
00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:46,639
had an article that was entitled the

398
00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:49,040
typical profile of an army astronaut and

399
00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:50,800
i read through that article and those

400
00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:52,480
little sparks all along the way they

401
00:15:55,430 --> 00:15:54,320
kind of erupted into a flame and i went

402
00:15:57,829 --> 00:15:55,440
ooh

403
00:15:59,269 --> 00:15:57,839
this sounds very close to what i've been

404
00:16:00,550 --> 00:15:59,279
tracking and doing

405
00:16:02,310 --> 00:16:00,560
unknowingly

406
00:16:04,949 --> 00:16:02,320
he was assigned to the johnson space

407
00:16:07,509 --> 00:16:04,959
center in 1995 as a space shuttle

408
00:16:09,749 --> 00:16:07,519
vehicle integration test engineer and in

409
00:16:11,110 --> 00:16:09,759
1998 he was selected to join the

410
00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:11,120
astronaut corps

411
00:16:23,910 --> 00:16:12,720
this trip to the international space

412
00:16:31,189 --> 00:16:24,790
uh

413
00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:31,199
feature of the five men who

414
00:16:35,509 --> 00:16:33,680
soon will be united with one another

415
00:16:37,350 --> 00:16:35,519
we're in the home stretch of the final

416
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:37,360
leak checks to ensure a tight seal

417
00:16:41,030 --> 00:16:38,800
between the two vehicles that will

418
00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:41,040
permit the opening of the hatches

419
00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:43,040
between the earth-facing port of the

420
00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:44,399

six-hour spacewalk in russian orlan

525
00:20:50,470 --> 00:20:47,360
spacesuits out of the piers docking

526
00:20:53,590 --> 00:20:50,480
compartment airlock on january 14 that

527
00:20:56,070 --> 00:20:53,600
uh spacewalk exclusively devoted to the

528
00:20:59,590 --> 00:20:56,080
setting up of docking equipment and

529
00:21:02,390 --> 00:20:59,600
docking targets on the new poisk module

530

the mini research module 2 that was

531
00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:04,799
automatically linked up to the

532
00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:06,880
space-facing port of the zvezda service

533
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:09,360
module back on november 12 to serve as

534
00:21:14,149 --> 00:21:11,280
another docking port for arriving

535
00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:14,159
russian vehicles and ultimately as a

536
00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:16,320
another airlock for russian-based

537
00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:18,480
spacewalks at the international space

538
00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:20,559
station

539
00:21:24,230 --> 00:21:21,600
in uh

540
00:21:27,190 --> 00:21:24,240
completing the spacewalk on january 14th

541
00:21:30,789 --> 00:21:27,200
cereal and kotov will set the stage for

542
00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:30,799

543
00:21:36,149 --> 00:21:33,200
vehicle that uh williams and max cerav

544
00:21:38,470 --> 00:21:36,159
were launched in on september 30th from

545
00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:38,480
baikonur that is now currently linked to

546
00:21:42,710 --> 00:21:40,480
the aft docking port of the zvezda

547
00:21:45,750 --> 00:21:42,720
service module they will conduct a short

548
00:21:48,070 --> 00:21:45,760
fly around on january 20th and re-dock

549
00:21:50,390 --> 00:21:48,080
their soyuz spacecraft to the poisk

550
00:21:51,909 --> 00:21:50,400
module the first time that a spacecraft

551
00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:51,919
will have linked up

552
00:21:57,909 --> 00:21:55,120
to the open docking port of poisk so

553
00:22:00,789 --> 00:21:57,919
quite a bit of activity on tap for the

554
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:00,799
expedition 22 crew and a five-man crew

555
00:22:06,710 --> 00:22:04,240
now uh that will soon be reunited uh

556
00:22:08,390 --> 00:22:06,720
with one another as we are anticipating

557
00:22:10,630 --> 00:22:08,400
the opening of the hatches a short time

558
00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:10,640
from now perhaps in the next

559
00:22:19,110 --> 00:22:17,190
hatch cover hatch cover is open on our

560
00:22:19,990 --> 00:22:19,120

00:22:31,110 --> 00:22:24,159
issuing f5 command

563
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:41,510
yes of course

564
00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:43,350
as the international space station and

565
00:22:48,789 --> 00:22:46,480
its newly arrived soyuz spacecraft and

566
00:22:49,549 --> 00:22:48,799
three new residents of the space station

567
00:22:52,070 --> 00:22:49,559
fly

568
00:22:53,750 --> 00:22:52,080
220 miles above the earth moving from

569
00:22:55,350 --> 00:22:53,760
southwest to northeast across the heart

570
00:22:56,710 --> 00:22:55,360
of south america soon to cross the

571
00:22:59,270 --> 00:22:56,720
equator

572
00:23:01,350 --> 00:22:59,280
we are now hearing through the space to

573
00:23:03,830 --> 00:23:01,360
ground communications that the crews

574
00:23:06,070 --> 00:23:03,840
have begun the process of initiating the

575
00:23:08,230 --> 00:23:06,080
opening of the hatches hatches not yet

576
00:23:10,789 --> 00:23:08,240
open but uh the first steps are now

577
00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:10,799
being taken so we do expect the hatches

578
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:29,510
well okay the backup options

579
00:23:33,909 --> 00:23:31,350
okay that means we

580
00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:33,919
we are not supposed to press line two in

581
00:23:42,950 --> 00:23:34,880
order to

582
00:23:55,669 --> 00:23:44,549
maximum standby

583
00:23:55,679 --> 00:24:16,950
just

584
00:24:21,669 --> 00:24:19,430
okay i found my answer it's everything

585
00:24:23,110 --> 00:24:21,679
is contained in the radiogram

586
00:24:24,710 --> 00:24:23,120
yes maxim we

587
00:24:27,750 --> 00:24:24,720
we're actually just reading this

588
00:24:29,669 --> 00:24:27,760
radiogram you are correct

589
00:24:34,470 --> 00:24:29,679
okay thank you

590
00:24:37,990 --> 00:24:36,789
were you reporting to us no i was just

591
00:24:41,029 --> 00:24:38,000
saying that

592
00:24:42,630 --> 00:24:41,039
we opened the hatch cover on our side uh

593
00:24:45,990 --> 00:24:42,640
not seeing

594
00:24:47,750 --> 00:24:46,000
delta probably

595
00:24:49,510 --> 00:24:47,760
seven five four is the pressure in the

596
00:24:56,230 --> 00:24:49,520
vehicle i understand your pressure is

597
00:25:12,870 --> 00:24:57,669
so fast quickly

598
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,190
foreign

599
00:25:20,870 --> 00:25:19,430
should we wait until the scheduled time

600
00:25:23,590 --> 00:25:20,880
or

601
00:25:24,710 --> 00:25:23,600
perhaps we could open it up a little

602
00:25:36,630 --> 00:25:24,720
earlier

603
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:42,710
we're talking to specialists

604
00:25:47,110 --> 00:25:45,350
i like kotov and max sarajev on either

605
00:25:48,710 --> 00:25:47,120
side of the docking interface checking

606
00:25:50,070 --> 00:25:48,720
with the russian flight control team

607
00:25:52,149 --> 00:25:50,080
here at the russian mission control

608
00:25:53,110 --> 00:25:52,159
center in korea

609
00:25:54,710 --> 00:25:53,120
we are

610
00:25:56,950 --> 00:25:54,720
swapping satellites on the tracking and

611
00:25:58,630 --> 00:25:56,960
data relay satellite system will be

612
00:26:01,909 --> 00:25:58,640
reacquiring a downlink television

613
00:26:04,710 --> 00:26:01,919
capability momentarily as they discuss

614
00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:04,720
perhaps an early opening of the hatches

615
00:26:08,230 --> 00:26:06,720
they were scheduled to open about 10

616
00:26:10,470 --> 00:26:08,240
minutes from now we may see those

617
00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:10,480
hatches swing open a bit earlier than

618
00:26:14,549 --> 00:26:12,960
planned to enable the two crews to greet

619
00:26:16,789 --> 00:26:14,559
one another and then press into a

620
00:26:19,350 --> 00:26:16,799
typical safety briefing to orient the

621
00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:19,360
newly arrived kotov creamer and gucci

622
00:26:24,470 --> 00:26:21,840
with the escape routes and all of the

623
00:26:26,470 --> 00:26:24,480
locations of critical

624
00:26:28,470 --> 00:26:26,480
items that are stowed in the various

625
00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:28,480
modules of the international space

626
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:51,750
how do you copy

627
00:26:56,549 --> 00:26:54,310
in in the same way

628
00:26:59,510 --> 00:26:56,559
it was performed when you arrived at the

629
00:27:03,830 --> 00:26:59,520
station so without that

630
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:17,830
you will

631
00:27:20,470 --> 00:27:19,430
did you

632
00:27:22,389 --> 00:27:20,480
activate

633
00:27:25,269 --> 00:27:22,399
the hardware

634
00:27:27,029 --> 00:27:25,279
mode in the uh channel

635
00:27:32,310 --> 00:27:27,039
no not yet

636
00:27:36,950 --> 00:27:34,789
but i will not be activating this

637
00:27:39,750 --> 00:27:36,960
hardware prior to the actual event in

638
00:27:42,470 --> 00:27:39,760
order to conserve

639
00:28:00,870 --> 00:27:42,480
the service life but i will go ahead and

640
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:10,710
yes

641
00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:12,789
and if the lighting conditions will be

642
00:28:18,870 --> 00:28:14,640
acceptable we will leave it in this

643
00:28:25,510 --> 00:28:21,350
now the lighting is

644
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:47,029
yes

645
00:28:51,510 --> 00:28:49,510
in space flight is made possible on the

646
00:28:53,909 --> 00:28:51,520
ground thank you guys

647
00:28:55,909 --> 00:28:53,919
