and uh the crew is very happy to be here

6
00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:37,919

to our mission to the international

26
00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:16,639
space station

27
00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:20,240
it's a complex 13-day mission

28
00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:22,560

00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:30,000
go out and do those things working with

33
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:31,759
the ground back at

34
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:33,120
in houston

35
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,440
we've got seven racks to deliver to the

36
00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:37,280
international space station including uh

37
00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:40,400
four research and science racks

38
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:41,600
and we're looking forward to getting

39
00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:43,440

so hard to prepare us

53
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:15,440
for this mission they've put in a lot of

54
00:06:19,749 --> 00:06:17,120
extra hours they show up before our

55
00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:19,759
training events they stay after we leave

56
00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:21,520

evas with the end of the space shuttle

63
00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:42,479
program it will be a rare event to get

64
00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:43,919
the opportunity to actually build

65
00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:45,520
something in orbit and it's an

66
00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:47,120
incredible experience that i'm looking

67
00:06:50,870 --> 00:06:48,800
forward to again

68
00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:50,880
it takes a lot of folks to prepare us so

69
00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:52,479
i'd like to say thanks to all the eva

70
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:54,400
folks who've prepared us the trainers

71
00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:56,400
folks at the nbl and all the folks

72
00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:57,919
who've prepared the hardware and got it

73
00:07:02,070 --> 00:06:59,680
ready for us for this mission

74
00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:02,080

77
00:07:14,469 --> 00:07:12,000
and i'd like to thank the folks that uh

78
00:07:16,390 --> 00:07:14,479
the systems that we use every day on the

79
00:07:18,629 --> 00:07:16,400
shuttle that sometimes we don't um

80
00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:18,639
people don't know that we're using them

81
00:07:23,189 --> 00:07:21,120
for instance the the computers that we

82
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:23,199
use on board are

83
00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:25,440
just normal laptops but they get us

84
00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:27,440
through rendezvous they help us to know

85
00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:30,479
where we are as we're orbiting the earth

86
00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:33,120
they let us visit with our families at

87
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:35,280
least once while we're on orbit

88
00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:37,280
and they just make daily life a lot

89
00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:40,560
easier and also as all of you are using

90
00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:42,400
cameras out there we have a great

91
00:07:47,029 --> 00:07:45,520
photography team that lets us capture

92
00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:47,039
this amazing experience that we're going

93
00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:48,800
to go off and do so i'd like to thank

94
00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:49,759
