they're going very well it's a great day

34
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:03,920
on the space station we were able to

35
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:06,400
install our cargo carrier and we'll be

36
00:03:11,589 --> 00:03:08,239
delivering a great experiment to the

37
00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:13,350
i understand you had some problems when

38
00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:15,200
you dock on the space station with your

39
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:17,360
radar antenna is everything all right

40
00:03:25,990 --> 00:03:24,149
things all right we'll be able to make

41
00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:26,000
it back just fine and especially since

42
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:27,519
we're here at the space station we can

43
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:34,630
now nasa has uh this this is the first

44
00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:37,280

45
00:03:41,670 --> 00:03:39,840
japanese astronauts in the crew

46
00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:41,680

women on the space shuttle and the first

52
00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:03,280
with four women in space together as we

53
00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,640
joined a tracy caldwell on the

54
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:06,319
international space station and yes the

55
00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:08,480
first with the two japanese astronauts

56
00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:12,550
and and

into um

59
00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:19,280
uh the business of uh space shuttling or

60
00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:21,280
being becoming an astronaut what was

61
00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:23,120
your what was your what is your story

62
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:24,720
where are you from what kind of classes

63
00:04:32,390 --> 00:04:26,400
did you have to take what was your

64
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:34,310
i was very interested in math and

65
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:37,120
science and i interviewed an astronomy

66
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:39,520
professor in middle school and that was

67
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:49,030
and your struggle was it a struggle to

68
00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:55,749
struggle takes a lot of hard work and

69
00:05:00,230 --> 00:04:58,320
dedication so the young people out there

70
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:00,240
they study hard and

71
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:06,790
i'm in orlando this morning with the

72
00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,800

counting right now have you filled out

74
00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:11,840
your census form before you went up in

75
00:05:19,590 --> 00:05:17,990
i did fill out my census form before

76
00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:19,600
coming to the space station but i did

77
00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:28,710
because this mission is 13 13 days long

78
00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:32,320
so well will you uh we i know we don't

79

are a lot of parents who are listening

81
00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:39,280
right now and what can you tell the

82
00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:42,240
parents on how to encourage their kids

83
00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:48,629
absolutely if they encourage their

84
00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:51,520
children if they support them and expose

85
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:53,759
them to different opportunities going to

field trips have and just open

89
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:02,080

do is tomorrow we'll go out for our

121
00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:51,280
first spacewalk to begin the

122
00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:53,520
installation of a new ammonia tank on

123
00:07:57,670 --> 00:07:55,360
the international space station and then

124
00:07:59,589 --> 00:07:57,680
we'll finish up that task over

125
00:08:03,029 --> 00:07:59,599
two more space walks later on in the

126
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:05,029
now stephanie you helped set a record

127
00:08:15,029 --> 00:08:07,520
for the most women in space at the same

128
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:16,790
it's very historic

129
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:19,440
we of course are very fortunate to have

130
00:08:23,589 --> 00:08:22,479
uh have had many women come before us

131
00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:23,599
to uh

132
00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:25,599
fly in space and so we're very thankful

133
00:08:29,830 --> 00:08:27,039
for their contributions and their

134
00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:29,840
dedication to make it possible for uh

135
00:08:34,389 --> 00:08:32,000
for the ladies on this flight to have an

136
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:34,399
opportunity we have many in the

137
00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:36,000
astronaut office that are very

138
00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:38,560
supportive and are good mentors and so

139
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:46,150

140
00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:48,560
this next question is for you the crew

141
00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:51,120
is on a 13-day mission what kind of work

142
00:08:58,630 --> 00:08:53,040
do you have planned i know you're very

143
00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:00,710
it's a really busy flight we invested

144
00:09:04,949 --> 00:09:02,720
the three space walk that rick and clay

145
00:09:08,150 --> 00:09:04,959
are doing we have

146
00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:08,160
about 12 to 13 tons of cargo that we

147
00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:10,720
have to get across from the

148
00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:12,480
multi-purpose logistics module that's

149
00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:14,320
our cargo carrier that we brought up in

150
00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:15,920
our payload bay

151
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:18,160
we attached it to the space station this

152
00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:20,800
morning stephanie and naoko did

153
00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:22,480
and just a few minutes ago we opened a

154
00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:24,560
hatch for that cargo carrier

155
00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:26,240
and we're starting to pull supplies out

156
00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:28,720
now so for the next several days we'll

157
00:09:32,949 --> 00:09:30,399
uh we'll be transferring supplies

158
00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:32,959
science rack research equipment over to

159
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:34,560
the space station

160
00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:36,720
uh in addition to a new sleeping station

161
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:43,750
nice now rick back to you growing up in

162
00:09:52,310 --> 00:09:46,160
waterbury i had to ask did you always

163
00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:54,550
i was interested in math and science and

164
00:09:58,070 --> 00:09:56,800
studying things and studying about space

165
00:10:00,150 --> 00:09:58,080
but i never really

166
00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:00,160
knew that i could become an astronaut

167
00:10:04,230 --> 00:10:02,480
until i was out of graduate school and i

168
00:10:06,550 --> 00:10:04,240
saw an advertisement in a magazine and

169
00:10:10,870 --> 00:10:06,560
decided to take a chance and nine years

170
00:10:15,910 --> 00:10:13,110
wonderful and the shuttle program comes

171
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:15,920
to an end after nearly 30 years as

172
00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:18,160
shuttle astronauts will it be a sad day

173
00:10:30,389 --> 00:10:27,350
i i don't consider it a sad day at all

174
00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:30,399
you know shuttle has left a great legacy

175
00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:32,480
throughout its history and incredible

176
00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:33,920
things have done with the shuttle that

177
00:10:36,949 --> 00:10:35,360
uh probably could not have been done

178
00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:36,959
with any other vehicle when you think

179
00:10:40,470 --> 00:10:38,720
about the hubble space telescope and the

180
00:10:43,030 --> 00:10:40,480
servicing missions to it

181
00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:43,040
and the assembly and

182
00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:44,480
the building of the international space

183
00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:45,600
station

184
00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:46,880
and the use of the international space

185
00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:48,000
station

186
00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:49,760
the shuttle's left incredible legacy

187
00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:52,399
it's a very versatile vehicle and uh

188
00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:55,519
and uh i think it's time to celebrate uh

189
00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:57,360
30 years of flying the vehicle and not

190
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:01,200
think about it going away

191
00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:03,040
you're right it's more of a celebration

192
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:05,279
i have to ask each and every one of you

193
00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:08,160
what do you do on your downtime i'm just

194
00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:17,110
well one of the great things about being

195
00:11:22,069 --> 00:11:19,200
in space is being able to look at her

196
00:11:24,470 --> 00:11:22,079
and the view out the windows and so

197
00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:24,480
a lot of us spend time uh looking at

198
00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:27,440
earth and reflecting on the spectacular

199
00:11:33,990 --> 00:11:32,150
yeah i have to agree we spend a lot of

200
00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:34,000
time looking out the window any spare

201
00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:35,519
time that we have which is not much i

202
00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:38,640
should say and then we just enjoy this

203
00:11:42,710 --> 00:11:40,720
enormous space station that we have this

204
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:42,720
thing is incredible and it's just

205
00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:51,110
well i'm looking out the window here and

206
00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:53,200
it's nice but i don't think it's nice is

207
00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:55,360
what you have up there thank you all so

thank you for taking part in our bao

209
00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:03,680
event

210
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:06,800
discovery iss this is houston acr that

211
00:12:11,829 --> 00:12:09,440
concludes the wvit tv portion of the

212
00:12:17,829 --> 00:12:11,839
event please stand by for a voice check

213
00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:20,790
discovery iss this is fox news radio how

214
00:12:30,629 --> 00:12:27,030
good morning we have you loud and clear

215
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:32,150
thank you we're going to pause for just

216
00:12:39,190 --> 00:12:33,680
a moment to let our network radio

217
00:12:43,269 --> 00:12:41,030
okay

218
00:12:45,509 --> 00:12:43,279
i'm mitch davis fox news radio and

219
00:12:48,870 --> 00:12:45,519
joining us live from the international

220
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:48,880
space station 215 miles above the earth

221
00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:50,560
shuttle mission commander alan point

222
00:12:54,629 --> 00:12:52,320
dexter and mission specialist rick

223
00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:54,639
mastracchio and stephanie wilson

224
00:12:58,790 --> 00:12:56,560
first the practical stuff commander

225
00:13:00,949 --> 00:12:58,800
poindexter as we talk you've got a

226
00:13:04,829 --> 00:13:00,959
shuttle without a working ku antenna is

227
00:13:09,829 --> 00:13:08,069
you at all we've got a lot of a lot of

228
00:13:11,350 --> 00:13:09,839
capability and a lot of redundancy in

229
00:13:13,269 --> 00:13:11,360
our systems now we're docked to the

230
00:13:14,310 --> 00:13:13,279
international space station

231
00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:14,320
and we're able to use their

232
00:13:18,069 --> 00:13:16,880
communication systems to get our data

233
00:13:20,069 --> 00:13:18,079
and voice

234
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:20,079
down the ground and then uh back up as

235
00:13:27,269 --> 00:13:24,949
well for for rick mastracchio you're

236
00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:27,279
doing three space walks on this mission

237
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:28,720
and with the shuttle program winding

238
00:13:32,949 --> 00:13:30,320
down you're one of the more experienced

239
00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:32,959
nasa space walkers now most of us down

240
00:13:41,110 --> 00:13:35,120
here will never get the chance what does

241
00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:44,389
the difficult feeling to describe the

242
00:13:48,629 --> 00:13:46,480
incredible views of the earth from

243
00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:48,639
inside a space suit or just

244
00:13:52,470 --> 00:13:50,560
they're just beautiful the earth is is a

245
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:52,480
beautiful place to look back upon and we

246
00:13:55,189 --> 00:13:53,839
spend a lot of effort trying to get off

247
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:55,199
the plane and come into space but we

248
00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:56,880
always spend a lot of time looking back

249
00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:59,199
where we came from uh the space walks

250
00:14:01,829 --> 00:13:59,920
are

251
00:14:03,829 --> 00:14:01,839
a lot very difficult take a lot of

252
00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:03,839
physical and mental energy

253
00:14:08,150 --> 00:14:06,320
and there's a lot of a lot of risk out

254
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:08,160
there so we train real hard and we do

255
00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:13,750
and stephanie wilson this is your third

256
00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:16,240
shuttle flight all on the discovery are

257
00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:17,680
you starting to feel a little attached

258
00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:24,790
definitely um discovery's been a great

259
00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:27,360
shift she served me well on two flights

260
00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:28,560
and we are having a little bit of

261
00:14:31,990 --> 00:14:30,399
trouble with the ku but otherwise

262
00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:32,000
she's a great vehicle the folks in

263
00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:33,600
florida at the kennedy space center did

264
00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:35,360
a great job preparing her for this

265
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:40,550
going back to the commander first it was

266
00:14:45,269 --> 00:14:42,959
30 years ago this week that the first

267
00:14:47,030 --> 00:14:45,279
space shuttle took off from florida and

268
00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:47,040
landed a few hours later at edwards air

269
00:14:52,470 --> 00:14:49,600
force base took off

270
00:15:05,509 --> 00:14:52,480
131 flights later what have we learned

271
00:15:09,590 --> 00:15:06,629
i'm sorry

272
00:15:11,509 --> 00:15:09,600
i'll repeat it 131 flights after the

273
00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:11,519
shuttle first launched

274
00:15:15,509 --> 00:15:13,360
30 years ago today what have we learned

275
00:15:21,350 --> 00:15:15,519
in those 131 flights and what have we

276
00:15:24,150 --> 00:15:22,150
well

277
00:15:26,230 --> 00:15:24,160
that's a great question

278
00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:26,240
i could start with where we are today

279
00:15:30,389 --> 00:15:28,480
the international space station is a

280
00:15:33,509 --> 00:15:30,399
wonderful research facility and

281
00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:33,519
world-class laboratory here orbiting 200

282
00:15:36,069 --> 00:15:35,040
miles above the earth

283
00:15:39,110 --> 00:15:36,079
every day

284
00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:39,120
the combined weight of the

285
00:15:42,629 --> 00:15:41,040
shuttle and station is uh

286
00:15:44,230 --> 00:15:42,639
approaching a million pounds or just

287
00:15:46,550 --> 00:15:44,240
over a million pounds

288
00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:46,560
and it's a marvelous facility we have 13

289
00:15:49,829 --> 00:15:48,399
people on board right now

290
00:15:51,430 --> 00:15:49,839
and without the shuttle we would not

291
00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:51,440
have been able to build this facility

292
00:15:54,790 --> 00:15:52,720
the way we did

293
00:15:55,990 --> 00:15:54,800
you can also look back the hubble space

294
00:15:57,509 --> 00:15:56,000
telescope

295
00:15:59,030 --> 00:15:57,519
its deployment and the servicing

296
00:16:01,829 --> 00:15:59,040
missions to the hubble

297
00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:01,839
again uh all due to the versatility of

298
00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:04,160
the space shuttle we can we get the

299
00:16:07,829 --> 00:16:06,399
magnificent views and great science and

300
00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:07,839
research that

301
00:16:16,710 --> 00:16:14,629
for all of you uh please as you know

302
00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:16,720
nasa's plans for the future have changed

303
00:16:21,509 --> 00:16:19,040
and those changes will affect the three

304
00:16:23,910 --> 00:16:21,519
of you very profoundly do you think this

305
00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:23,920
could be your last trip into space or do

306
00:16:32,069 --> 00:16:25,920
you think you'll be involved as the

307
00:16:35,590 --> 00:16:33,910
well i can't speak for the others but i

308
00:16:37,189 --> 00:16:35,600
certainly hope to return to space

309
00:16:38,470 --> 00:16:37,199
someday of course i'm not getting any

310
00:16:40,389 --> 00:16:38,480
younger

311
00:16:42,550 --> 00:16:40,399
but nasa will

312
00:16:47,269 --> 00:16:42,560
build a new vehicle in the upcoming

313
00:16:51,189 --> 00:16:49,030
and i agree with rick this is certainly

314
00:16:53,670 --> 00:16:51,199
a special experience and i hope to have

315
00:16:55,509 --> 00:16:53,680
another opportunity to perhaps be a

316
00:17:01,030 --> 00:16:55,519
member of a long duration flight on the

317
00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:03,189
one last question and that is there are

318
00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:05,199
youngsters will be listening to this

319
00:17:09,189 --> 00:17:07,039
what do you want to tell them if they're

320
00:17:11,029 --> 00:17:09,199
thinking they want to go into space give

321
00:17:15,429 --> 00:17:11,039
them some direction what should they be

322
00:17:19,429 --> 00:17:16,630
i think the best direction we can give

323
00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:19,439
our youngsters today is to uh is to

324
00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:22,240
dream big and follow those dreams work

325
00:17:25,829 --> 00:17:24,400
hard to attain your goals do something

326
00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:25,839
you enjoy

327
00:17:30,230 --> 00:17:27,600
and and work very hard at it i think

328
00:17:31,669 --> 00:17:30,240
that's uh that's the key to a success in

329
00:17:33,830 --> 00:17:31,679
life is to do something that you're

330
00:17:38,230 --> 00:17:33,840
happy with and work really hard at it

331
00:17:41,510 --> 00:17:39,830
can i ask you to pass the mic over and

332
00:17:42,789 --> 00:17:41,520
get the same question to the other two

333
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:42,799
please what do you want to tell some

334
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:45,200
youngster getting ready to go into space

335
00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:54,390
yes and that they should study hard

336
00:17:57,669 --> 00:17:56,080
getting ready for space that math and

337
00:17:59,510 --> 00:17:57,679
science are good

338
00:18:01,990 --> 00:17:59,520
good things to study engineering and

339
00:18:04,390 --> 00:18:02,000
going into aviation through the military

340
00:18:06,070 --> 00:18:04,400
or other career fields are are very good

341
00:18:08,789 --> 00:18:06,080
and the most important thing is really

342
00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:08,799
to work hard try hard and to stick with

343
00:18:15,510 --> 00:18:13,510
yeah i think the commander and stephanie

344
00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:15,520
summed it up pretty well it find out

345
00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:17,360
find something you really enjoy work

346
00:18:22,070 --> 00:18:20,480
very hard at it be dedicated and put in

347
00:18:25,110 --> 00:18:22,080
an application for nasa and see what
