do a little bit will you really all

25
00:01:29,420 --> 00:01:27,030

27
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:32,100
no one will even watch it's only on NASA

28
00:01:37,460 --> 00:01:35,040
television no one ever looks at YouTube

29
00:01:48,020 --> 00:01:37,470

describe what did he do you guys have no

31
00:01:56,060 --> 00:01:51,149

32
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:01,070
all right come on we're not gonna get

33
00:02:13,010 --> 00:02:08,160
anywhere are we so dotty usually go has

34
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:13,020
now ml in your previous career which is

35
00:02:19,790 --> 00:02:17,970
very interesting what did you do before

36
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:19,800
you were an astronaut very cool

37
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:21,360
you're a height like a no kid in high

38
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:23,730
school enjoy both of the eyes help with

39
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:26,510
these kids with high school kids

40
00:02:37,460 --> 00:02:33,860
that's what you taught you guys okay so

41
00:02:39,170 --> 00:02:37,470
how do you go from doing that to doing

42
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:39,180
this kind of stuff here inside of the

43
00:02:48,020 --> 00:02:42,750
sim how did this happen we're all very

44
00:02:54,830 --> 00:02:48,030
lucky but lucky for NASA I would add as

45
00:03:00,440 --> 00:02:58,950
and I got into space camp when I was a

46
00:03:04,190 --> 00:03:00,450
kid and those things

47
00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:04,200
first science as having to call it in

48
00:03:09,970 --> 00:03:07,390
one dance to my astronomy class and

49
00:03:11,710 --> 00:03:09,980
the bathroom in space we hear this

50
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:11,720
question allows that's right so right

51
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:13,760
but at the time I didn't know I'd be

52
00:03:19,150 --> 00:03:15,650
there that couldn't be stuff floating

53
00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:19,160
around by it so I went home I googled it

54
00:03:26,260 --> 00:03:22,640
and it's pretty much the same time when

55
00:03:28,690 --> 00:03:26,270
I was googling it I came across the

56
00:03:32,050 --> 00:03:28,700
website NASA that said we're hiring

57
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:32,060
teachers this class election is also

58
00:03:35,740 --> 00:03:34,730
taking to traffic and I remember going

59
00:03:37,210 --> 00:03:35,750
home to my husband

60
00:03:41,020 --> 00:03:37,220
oh my gosh I have to fight it's like a

61
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:41,030
perfect time but but I was like but I

62
00:03:53,860 --> 00:03:43,970
realize don't mind that I'm sure I mean

63
00:04:03,070 --> 00:03:53,870
it's a one one out of two thousand but

64
00:04:05,050 --> 00:04:03,080
you could you apply they came in the

65
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:05,060
idea to come in for an interview the NDI

66
00:04:09,970 --> 00:04:07,690
pick so what did you tell your students

67
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:09,980
about this when you went you ever liked

68
00:04:15,010 --> 00:04:12,650
the classroom how'd you find out I found

69
00:04:16,780 --> 00:04:15,020
out I think so we got interviewed back

70
00:04:22,970 --> 00:04:16,790
in November and then so much too soon

71
00:04:27,950 --> 00:04:24,860
here

72
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:27,960
and then they were like really excited I

73
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:29,310
mean their sister got interviewed by I

74
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:30,780
feared that would be the last step and

75
00:04:35,330 --> 00:04:34,770
so from November to April was like a lot

76
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:35,340
of waiting

77
00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:39,889
Whitney than I I figured in April like

78
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:42,479
ideal and then I came back from Spring

79
00:04:47,450 --> 00:04:44,490
Break and the Monday I came back from

80
00:04:51,020 --> 00:04:47,460
Spring Break on April 12th I got a call

81
00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:51,030
I picked it by the other hand other end

82
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:55,440
is Bob Cabana and I and I knew that it

83
00:05:02,330 --> 00:04:58,650
was either good or bad news this call

84
00:05:16,420 --> 00:05:02,340
and so I was like oh maybe I should sit

85
00:05:25,580 --> 00:05:19,040
yeah what did they say what I thought

86
00:05:30,860 --> 00:05:25,590
jumping around like I was talking about

87
00:05:35,090 --> 00:05:30,870
daylight savings time you just stop that

88
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:35,100
lesson go into space immediately the

89
00:05:43,460 --> 00:05:40,410
rest of the day so what do you guys do

90
00:05:50,270 --> 00:05:43,470
that was shoot cocktail I need all your

91
00:05:56,020 --> 00:05:54,710
hello Donnie why that's not a nice thing

92
00:05:59,210 --> 00:05:56,030
to tell the kids

93
00:06:00,680 --> 00:05:59,220
you mean bran cereal and space so you

94
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:00,690
see more of it on the ground because

95
00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:03,330
it's good for you right is it good for

96
00:06:07,610 --> 00:06:06,479
you I think it is good for you okay so

97
00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:07,620
healthy that's good for you but you

98
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:09,120
didn't like anybody to like it got too

99
00:06:19,909 --> 00:06:17,330
not too sweet it has that fake milk in

100
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:19,919
it though the power no no good though

101
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:25,850
what you're looking at so Mike this is a

102
00:06:31,850 --> 00:06:29,250
this is our flight plan right and you

103
00:06:34,429 --> 00:06:31,860
know we get updates this flight plan

104
00:06:38,749 --> 00:06:34,439
every morning you know and it basically

105
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:38,759
describes the each crew member has a

106
00:06:45,290 --> 00:06:41,449
column right and it describes in

107
00:06:49,249 --> 00:06:45,300
5-minute increments let our our plan is

108
00:06:51,559 --> 00:06:49,259
for all day and so now when I were just

109
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:51,569
going over a flight plan they do go

110
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:51,930
there

111
00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:54,930
yeah like playing after docking so we

112
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:56,310
docked to the space station already

113
00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:57,930
about an hour ago

114
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:00,240
and now we're looking to what things we

115
00:07:03,950 --> 00:07:02,370
have to do get the hatches open if

116
00:07:05,390 --> 00:07:03,960
you're still haven't seen any of those

117
00:07:07,189 --> 00:07:05,400

118
00:07:08,689 --> 00:07:07,199
checks to get completed open these

119
00:07:10,909 --> 00:07:08,699
hatches and we'll go ahead and see the

120
00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:10,919
rest of croco and there's a lot of

121
00:07:16,070 --> 00:07:13,860
things basically before that as well we

122
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:16,080

123
00:07:18,930 --> 00:07:16,780
LaRhonda

124
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:18,940
power up the vehicle completely to get

125
00:07:22,530 --> 00:07:21,250
all the system trying once we got we

126
00:07:23,940 --> 00:07:22,540

127
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:23,950
powered things down to save her little

128
00:08:00,120 --> 00:07:33,430
sixteen power on the space station we'll

129
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:00,130
have a safety briefing okay so we gotta

130
00:08:03,390 --> 00:08:01,810
get ready for tomorrow's activities all

131
00:08:05,159 --> 00:08:03,400

135
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:09,100
station

136
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:13,930
okay studying last this is just like

137
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:15,970

138
00:08:21,469 --> 00:08:18,930
list of stuff just like and be prepared

139
00:08:23,219 --> 00:08:21,479

143
00:08:33,899 --> 00:08:32,560
doesn't it sound like something like you

144
00:08:35,130 --> 00:08:33,909

146
00:08:39,329 --> 00:08:37,479
planet yeah exact time from the Zebulon

147
00:08:41,339 --> 00:08:39,339
you had destined to work in the space

148
00:08:44,300 --> 00:08:41,349
