1
00:00:09,830 --> 00:00:08,230
hi i'm mike massimino we've been

2
00:00:11,190 --> 00:00:09,840
following along with the astronauts who

3
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:11,200
are going to fly the next shuttle

4
00:00:15,430 --> 00:00:12,960
mission to the international space

5
00:00:17,269 --> 00:00:15,440
station what you are about to see is the

6
00:00:18,790 --> 00:00:17,279
crew practicing for their mission the

7
00:00:20,710 --> 00:00:18,800
team that is responsible for training

8
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:20,720
them and get a sense of what it's like

9
00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:24,160
to fly the shuttle this is scs-130

10
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:26,080
behind the scenes

11
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:28,640
hold it what's up

12
00:00:31,349 --> 00:00:30,400
terry birds howdy what's going on in

13
00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:31,359
here aren't you supposed to be in the

14
00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:33,280
simulator we are the guy sitting in the

15
00:00:35,510 --> 00:00:34,079
mouth

16
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:35,520
yeah they let you push the big red

17
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:36,960
button making malfunctions for my

18
00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:39,120
roommates

19
00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:41,360
now we're going over all of our node 3

20
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:44,000
activation procedures oh my goodness yes

21
00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:45,120
there's a lot

22
00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:46,559
this is a nine hour long procedure we're

23
00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:48,879
going over right now wow yes

24
00:00:51,990 --> 00:00:50,320
you get paid a little overtime maybe for

25
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:52,000
that yes well for the last hour the

26
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:54,399
first aid is regular

27
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:55,520
yeah yeah

28
00:01:00,229 --> 00:00:56,960
so far you try to claim it to what

29
00:01:01,750 --> 00:01:00,239
happens now once they launch your job is

30
00:01:03,189 --> 00:01:01,760
pretty much done is that right for the

31
00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:03,199
other community but you have a role

32
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:04,640
during a mission as well

33
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:05,920
in theory our only role during the

34
00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:07,600
mission is to be on call if there's a

35
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:08,880
real-time problem that they need a

36
00:01:11,910 --> 00:01:10,640
simulator called up for

37
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:11,920
so if they're trying to make a decision

38
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:13,119
on orbit or they want to know how

39
00:01:15,429 --> 00:01:14,320
something's going to they're going to do

40
00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:15,439
something they didn't expect they won't

41
00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:16,799
know how it's going to go yeah we're on

42
00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:18,080
call to pull up the simulator if they

43
00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:19,439
want to check it all right other than

44
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:20,799
that most of these guys will do flight

45
00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:22,560
following because you work so many

46
00:01:25,109 --> 00:01:24,080
months training the mission you kind of

47
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:25,119
want to see how it goes see what you

48
00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:27,439
guys do yeah um

49
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:28,880
and we also use it as a time to teach

50
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:31,360
new instructors i mean all these guys

51
00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:33,200
we have to simulate real-time operations

52
00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:34,720
and the best way to do that is to

53
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:36,479
actually watch it happen especially as

54
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:38,240
you're bringing new instructors there so

55
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:39,680
this team will be doing flight following

56
00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:41,040
during the missions and as you can

57
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:42,399
imagine certain people come in at

58
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:43,520
certain times

59
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:46,240
motion control guys love docking

60
00:01:49,749 --> 00:01:48,159
but eva day

61
00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:49,759
robotics

62
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:51,520
they don't care so much but all the robo

63
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:53,280
guys come in for that so

64
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:54,960
that's kind of what we do once you once

65
00:01:59,190 --> 00:01:56,960
you guys get going

66
00:02:00,149 --> 00:01:59,200
so what's going on here okay to check

67
00:02:02,389 --> 00:02:00,159
with you guys i'm gonna break your

68
00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:02,399
concentration you guys think if we just

69
00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:04,560
saw zambo and steve over in the center

70
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:07,280
on the shuttle side you guys are here on

71
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:08,399
the youtube you're pretending like

72
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:10,319
you're space walk yeah hours and we

73
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:11,599
can't pretend that you're space walking

74
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:13,440
so what are you doing to try to uh

75
00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:14,640
because the whole team needs to pretend

76
00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:16,319
like you're spaceball

77
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:18,160
so go ahead in order to help the whole

78
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:20,160
team pretend that we are spacewalking

79
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:22,080
actually i don't know if uh at one of

80
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:24,400
these days you'll swing by the envy over

81
00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:25,440
the commercial

82
00:02:29,589 --> 00:02:27,360
all this training so what we're doing is

83
00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:29,599
actually watching a videotape of

84
00:02:34,949 --> 00:02:32,800
ourselves actually a dvd of ourselves on

85
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:34,959
our laptops so we can see the motions

86
00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:36,560
that we go through out at the training

87
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:39,040
facility underwater we play that back to

88
00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:40,640
make sure we don't get ahead or behind

89
00:02:44,229 --> 00:02:42,560
of ourselves when the folks are

90
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:44,239
listening to what we would say as we

91
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:45,760
actually go off and do these tasks and

92
00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:47,760
so over in the shuttle like you said you

93
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:50,239
talked to george and you talk to steve

94
00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:52,800
and they're pretending like they're also

95
00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:54,720
seeing us out the window and things like

96
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:56,080
that they don't have videotapes of

97
00:03:00,309 --> 00:02:58,080
themselves sitting at a chair like we

98
00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:00,319
have videotapes of ourselves sitting at

99
00:03:04,229 --> 00:03:02,720
our work location underneath the

100
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:04,239
big trust that's sitting in the bottom

101
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:06,560
of the swimming pool out there

102
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:08,720
all right and nick

103
00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:10,560
yes you're doing the same you've got

104
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:12,319
your headset on i'm watching a different

105
00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:14,720
video this is video of me because we

106
00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:15,920
have two separate cameras when we do

107
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:17,680
this in the nbl yeah so i'm watching my

108
00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:18,959
video

109
00:03:23,910 --> 00:03:21,920
it helps keep things realistic and also

110
00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:23,920
as bob said it helps us to make sure we

111
00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:26,640
do things right so i'm about to make a

112
00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:28,080
make a call here

113
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:28,959
all right

114
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:31,360
and uh if we wait too long between

115
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:33,440
making calls over to uh steve he thinks

116
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,200
that we our comm system our

117
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:37,280
communications is broken and so he needs

118
00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:38,959
to start working a failure for how to

119
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:40,400
get his new radio we don't want to get

120
00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:41,840
him excited we don't want to give him

121
00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:44,640
steve i have that uh m2 jumper connected

122
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:46,400
to the fifth string when i'm ready for

123
00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:53,190
okay

124
00:03:57,589 --> 00:03:54,799
make sure it's very dark so that you can

125
00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:57,599
inspect both sides

126
00:04:01,350 --> 00:03:59,599
and the booties often expect inspecting

127
00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:01,360
both sides so both sides are three or

128
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:04,319
four damage and anomalous conditions

129
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:05,920
steve

130
00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:08,080
on the female qd check that the button

131
00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:11,120
is up the walking collar is locked

132
00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:13,439
on the female button is up and the

133
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:15,439
locking collar is locked right now we're

134
00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:17,840
talking about right band non-verbal

135
00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:19,519
quick disconnects

136
00:04:22,870 --> 00:04:21,199
and the forward white band is not

137
00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:22,880
visible steve and there's this whole

138
00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:24,560
series of things we have to go through

139
00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:31,030
okay i've mated the qd to the venting

140
00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:33,360
tool the forward white band is now

141
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:34,800
visible

142
00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:40,150
this is where we snap back the collar

143
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:41,440
and make sure that we don't have what's

144
00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:43,520
called female interlock complete

145
00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:45,199
okay snap back test complete forward

146
00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:47,440
white bend is again visible

147
00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:51,199
and a full capture visual gap cut

148
00:04:53,909 --> 00:04:52,320
pull test

149
00:04:59,270 --> 00:04:53,919
is complete

150
00:05:01,510 --> 00:04:59,280
right in color unlock

151
00:05:02,950 --> 00:05:01,520
okay steve i'm unlocking the locking

152
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:02,960
color

153
00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:04,880
okay now we'll vent it you press the

154
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:06,880
button push the bell forward then check

155
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:08,800
the app white band is visible and the

156
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:11,280
button is popped up

157
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:13,600
okay steve i'm throwing the bale

158
00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:15,360
the valve is now open opt white fan

159
00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:16,320
visible

160
00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:18,320
and the button is um

161
00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:19,759
we try and keep the pace of these things

162
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:22,000
so that they uh copy and bob uh after

163
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:35,749
say your name for the camera so the pao

164
00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:37,440
people know who you are i'm alan

165
00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:38,400
alexander

166
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:41,520
i'm david mastracchio gregory sparkman

167
00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:42,960
all right so now we got that out of the

168
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:45,600
way what are you guys doing today

169
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:49,440
uh well uh david is uh gonna get trained

170
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:52,400
uh he was he's already trained he does

171
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:54,080
know what he's doing uh but he was gone

172
00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:55,840
for about a year what do you mean

173
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:57,440
he says he's gonna get trained how many

174
00:06:01,590 --> 00:05:59,600
times are you my safety diver

175
00:06:04,390 --> 00:06:01,600
like i'm responsible for my life down

176
00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:04,400
there as a diver and now

177
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:13,590
everything has to be redone all right so

178
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:15,919
because of the the time lapse everything

179
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:17,120
yeah that's right you got to start from

180
00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:18,639
scratch pretty much so don't you

181
00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:20,560
shouldn't take any offense no no even

182
00:06:23,749 --> 00:06:22,400
though if you're jumping stone didn't

183
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:23,759
jacques still have to go through this he

184
00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:25,199
would have to he would have to redo it

185
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:26,880
greg tolman i went on a jock who saw one

186
00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:29,120
at the uh or one of his sons

187
00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:30,560
wanted to dive in a tank and he made

188
00:06:33,670 --> 00:06:32,000
this and he made him go through the dive

189
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:33,680
check out yeah yeah we want to make sure

190
00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:34,800
everybody's safe but you're gonna die

191
00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:36,800
check out what's everything i guess you

192
00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:37,840
gotta look at what you're doing all

193
00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:39,280
right but so you're gonna train him but

194
00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:40,479
you're also gonna be

195
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:41,840
doing other stuff with the crew too

196
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:42,880
correct so

197
00:06:45,909 --> 00:06:44,240
we'll be we'll be the safety diver

198
00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:45,919
supporting the crew today so if anything

199
00:06:49,589 --> 00:06:48,720
goes wrong uh we'll be there to assist

200
00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:49,599
um

201
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:51,440
as well as just during the run if things

202
00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:53,840
need uh one g support anything like that

203
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:55,919
one g being if if something's too heavy

204
00:06:59,029 --> 00:06:57,360
because you're in one ground even you're

205
00:07:16,629 --> 00:06:59,039
in the water you're one gravity right

206
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:17,909
and maintaining the way out throughout

207
00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:24,790
are we ready to put this suit on

208
00:07:31,670 --> 00:07:27,840
are we ready yes we are okay

209
00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:31,680
so bob's getting his pants on first

210
00:07:51,670 --> 00:07:34,240
he'll be floating in space

211
00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:53,350
jeff williams who's living on the space

212
00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:55,360
station right now

213
00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:58,479
we might get tj creamer's help for our

214
00:08:03,589 --> 00:08:00,960
second and third uh space box instead of

215
00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:05,110
you should take some good video of this

216
00:08:09,430 --> 00:08:07,039
because everybody makes their own

217
00:08:10,469 --> 00:08:09,440
special face

218
00:08:13,909 --> 00:08:10,479
when they're when they're wedging

219
00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:15,670
we compared those mic we collected up

220
00:08:22,390 --> 00:08:17,360
all the big faces that people make when

221
00:08:27,670 --> 00:08:26,070
okay that seems uh pretty good

222
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:27,680
and now it's like a two-person job to

223
00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:29,520
get a guy like me off now in space this

224
00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:31,120
will be easy you're gonna float right up

225
00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:32,320
yeah

226
00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:49,030
i did three spacewalks on my last flight

227
00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:50,480
and this one should be this place should

228
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:52,959
be three more spacewalks

229
00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:54,640
there's a lot of spacewalks that's a lot

230
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:56,240
of spacewalks but none of mine have been

231
00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:57,839
as long as uh

232
00:09:01,430 --> 00:09:00,080
either of yours so yeah but you

233
00:09:03,430 --> 00:09:01,440
we're going to write the book on these

234
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:03,440
next years you never know maybe it could

235
00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:05,920
be a really long spaceball but

236
00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:07,040
i don't know i wouldn't encourage it

237
00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:08,240
because i thought i was going to get

238
00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:09,839
paid a little over time but there is no

239
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:11,600
overnight there's no overtime

240
00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:12,320
no

241
00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:13,760
you get this you might as well come in

242
00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:16,560
on time then or even early because yeah

243
00:09:19,509 --> 00:09:18,160
early is probably yeah i didn't realize

244
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:19,519
that glad you told me about the no

245
00:09:32,230 --> 00:09:30,949
that wasn't bad at all

246
00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:32,240

00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:33,680
