00:00:20,230 --> 00:00:17,039 please call discovery and iss for a 5 00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:22,870 discovery iss this is nebraska public 6 00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:31,269 nebraska public radio we read you loud 7 00:00:48,389 --> 00:00:33,920 and clear from the node 2 of the 8 00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:52,869 go ahead npr 9 00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:55,910 good morning clay and rick and stephanie 10 00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:57,760 it's good to see you up there your 11 00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:59,760 mission commander alan poindexter 12 00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:01,440 learned a few hours ago that you'll be 13 00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:03,760 spending an extra day in orbit wondering 14 00:01:16,950 --> 00:01:14,950 time on orbit is very precious and so uh 15 00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:16,960 spending an extra day will be great uh 16 00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:18,400 we'll actually be doing our late 17 00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:19,600 inspection while we're docked to the 18 00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:21,920 space station so that we can use their 19 00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:24,080 communications assets to downlink the 20 00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:30,870 um clay the 21 00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:32,720 while you were leaving the airlock for 22 00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:34,799 your space walk this time 23 00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:36,000 were there 24 00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:39,360 misgivings uh 25 00:01:50,149 --> 00:01:48,149 there are never any misgivings and it's 26 00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:50,159 a great experience so we're very excited 27 00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:52,079 to go outside it'd been about three 28 00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:54,320 years for me and it took a little while 29 00:02:01,830 --> 00:01:56,960 to get used to it i'm hoping that evas 30 00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:04,389 clay the main job on your spacewalk has 31 00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:07,200 been to remove a large storage tank 32 00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:08,560 that's part of the space station's 33 00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:10,959 cooling system and replace it with a new 34 00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:11,840 one 35 00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:13,520 it sounded as if you actually had to 36 00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:15,760 resort to using what sounded like a 37 00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:19,360 crowbar to dislodge it at one point 38 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:27,110 you're exactly right the ammonia tank 39 00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:30,160 asser assembly we had to get the new one 40 00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:31,599 out of the shuttle's payload bay 41 00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:32,959 yesterday so that it could be temp 42 00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:35,040 stowed on the station and our eva 43 00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:36,720 tomorrow we'll be working on the old one 44 00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:38,560 to get it off of the station and when we 45 00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:39,760 tried to get the new one out of the 46 00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:42,239 payload bay uh we had four bolts the 47 00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:44,160 bolts all came out just fine but then 48 00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:45,599 there are little uh they call them 49 00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:48,640 detents that are soft docks that keep it 50 00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:50,800 in place so that we can just lift it out 51 00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:53,120 with a little bit of force unfortunately 52 00:02:57,190 --> 00:02:54,640 they didn't want to let us lift it out 53 00:02:59,589 --> 00:02:57,200 so we had to take a crowbar we call it a 54 00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:59,599 pry bar and we had to give a little 55 00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:01,599 brute force strength to get it up but 56 00:03:10,869 --> 00:03:08,470 rick mastraccio if i could start with 57 00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:10,879 you on this one we had a a question 58 00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:13,360 submitted by the third grade class here 59 00:03:16,949 --> 00:03:15,760 at holmes elementary school in lincoln 60 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:16,959 nebraska 61 00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:19,200 they suggested a question they want to 62 00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:21,440 know if it was a little scary going into 63 00:03:31,750 --> 00:03:29,750 well at nasa we train quite a bit in 64 00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,760 simulators and mock-ups that look 65 00:03:35,509 --> 00:03:33,519 exactly like the real space shuttle and 66 00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,519 like the real space station so when you 67 00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:37,280 get in the real vehicle on launch day 68 00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:39,200 you feel very much at home and you don't 69 00:03:42,869 --> 00:03:40,799 feel nervous or scared at all and you're 70 00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:42,879 ready to perform your duties so if you 71 00:03:49,190 --> 00:03:44,720 train and prepare well enough then no 72 00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:51,430 stephanie wilson a question for you you 73 00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:53,920 were working the robotic arm while clay 74 00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:56,640 was maneuvering that huge tank uh tell 75 00:04:04,949 --> 00:03:58,319 us a little bit about how all that 76 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:07,190 right we 77 00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:09,120 actually wait until 78 00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:09,920 the 79 00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:15,519 ready where 80 00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,440 the arm is in mode and ready for us to 81 00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:19,440 maneuver into what we call grapple or 82 00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:21,680 attach to the tank they hold it as 83 00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:23,840 steady as they can and clay did a fine 84 00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:26,000 job holding it up and holding it steady 85 00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:26,960 and then 86 00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:28,720 jim and i tried to maneuver in as 87 00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:31,600 quickly and accurately as we could 88 00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:33,840 to come over the grapple fixture or the 89 00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:36,160 pin which is the interface between the 90 00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:38,720 tank and the robotic arm so there's a 91 00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:40,000 lot of choreography a lot of 92 00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:41,759 communications so that they know that 93 00:04:45,749 --> 00:04:43,600 the arm is ready so that as the arm 94 00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:45,759 operators we know that they're ready and 95 00:04:59,350 --> 00:04:53,030 clay how awkward was it maneuvering that 96 00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:00,870 actually it was quite easy it weighs 97 00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:03,039 about 1800 pounds and 98 00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:05,120 it didn't take a whole lot of force to 99 00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,880 yaw it around so that stephanie could 100 00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:08,720 see the grapple pin that she wanted to 101 00:05:13,830 --> 00:05:11,840 grab it with with the robotic arm the 102 00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:13,840 only worry i had was that 103 00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:15,199 for a second there i was kind of 104 00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:16,800 thinking about trying to jettison it 105 00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:18,720 like i did on the last flight i was on 106 00:05:24,469 --> 00:05:20,000 but fortunately 107 00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:26,310 uh clay we probably have time for maybe 108 00:05:31,270 --> 00:05:29,120 one more question uh you'll be leaving 109 00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:31,280 this space station then in all 110 00:05:35,189 --> 00:05:33,039 likelihood with the end of the shuttle 111 00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,199 mission this will be your last visit 112 00:05:39,189 --> 00:05:37,280 after uh this being your second visit 113 00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:39,199 i'm wondering if leaving will will be a 114 00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:40,800 little bittersweet at the conclusion of 115 00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:47,430 well i'm not sure what the future holds 116 00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:49,840 but anytime you come to a place as 117 00:05:53,909 --> 00:05:52,080 magnificent of this as this it's going 118 00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:53,919 to be bittersweet when you leave no 119 00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:55,919 matter whether you think or you might 120 00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:57,360 come back or whether you even know 121 00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:58,720 you're going to come back i think it's 122 00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:01,199 always bittersweet this is a magnificent 123 00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:03,759 complex built by some of the finest 124 00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:06,240 engineers around the world it's a great 125 00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:09,600 example of human fortitude and ingenuity 126 00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:11,600 and intelligence so we should all be 127 00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,469 and one last question rick while you're 128 00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:20,639 out on the space walk with all that you 129 00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:22,720 have to do do you finally get a chance 130 00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:30,230 oh yeah we stay very busy on the space 131 00:06:33,670 --> 00:06:31,840 walks they last about six and a half 132 00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:33,680 hours but there's always a few moments 133 00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:34,960 to look at the earth and look at the 134 00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:36,880 sunrise or the sunset and look at the 135 00:06:40,390 --> 00:06:38,720 beautiful earth below us you have to 136 00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:40,400 take a few moments every once in a while 137 00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:41,919 to do that on a spacewalk or you're just 138 00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:43,680 cheating yourself so yeah we do take 139 00:06:49,589 --> 00:06:48,550 great thank you very much all three of 140 00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:49,599 you good luck with the rest of the 141 00:06:58,710 --> 00:06:56,870 discovery iss this is houston acr thank 142 00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:58,720 you very much 143 00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:00,720 that concludes the nebraska public radio 144 00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:02,800 portion of the event please stand by for 145 00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:10,870 good morning discovery at iss it's cbs 146 00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:13,280 news and cbs news radio how do you hear 147 00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:20,790 cbs news and cbs news radio we just 148 00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:23,120 discovery iss has you loud and clear 149 00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:24,720 good morning stephanie wilson rick 150 00:07:28,710 --> 00:07:26,639 mastracchio and clay anderson this is 151 00:07:30,230 --> 00:07:28,720 peter king in florida bill harwood will 152 00:07:31,909 --> 00:07:30,240 be joining us for the johnson space 153 00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:31,919 center in just a couple moments and 154 00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:34,000 let's start with rick and clay because 155 00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:36,560 you had a great first eva yesterday 156 00:07:39,749 --> 00:07:38,000 tomorrow morning you head out for the 157 00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:39,759 second of three i'm just wondering 158 00:07:47,029 --> 00:07:42,000 what's the biggest challenge you face on 159 00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:49,189 yeah tomorrow's eva we will be 160 00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:51,280 installing the new ammonia tank and 161 00:07:55,029 --> 00:07:53,440 removing the old ammonia tank the 162 00:07:56,830 --> 00:07:55,039 biggest challenge is just the 163 00:07:59,270 --> 00:07:56,840 integration of all the robotics and the 164 00:08:00,710 --> 00:07:59,280 eva a couple of times during tomorrow's 165 00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:00,720 eva we're going to have to lift up this 166 00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:03,120 1800 pound ammonia tank and while the 167 00:08:07,189 --> 00:08:05,120 robotic arm folks stephanie and jim 168 00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:07,199 dutton come in and grapple it so it's 169 00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:08,800 going to require a lot of teamwork to 170 00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:12,319 get that to work out smoothly 171 00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:14,960 for the eva and also for the late heat 172 00:08:18,070 --> 00:08:16,720 shield inspection which is now going to 173 00:08:20,230 --> 00:08:18,080 be uh 174 00:08:22,150 --> 00:08:20,240 while you're attached to station what 175 00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:22,160 are the special challenges there are 176 00:08:25,909 --> 00:08:24,080 there uh a lot of clearances that you 177 00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:25,919 have to look after 178 00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:34,790 yes always with the robotics operations 179 00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:37,440 clearances are a concern luckily during 180 00:08:42,389 --> 00:08:39,599 eva we have clay and rick to help us 181 00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:42,399 clear things so when the tank gets close 182 00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:44,720 to structure we're using their eyes for 183 00:08:47,590 --> 00:08:45,920 clearances 184 00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:47,600 we wish we could have them outside also 185 00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:49,519 when we do this docked inspection it is 186 00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:51,360 true that while we're docked the 187 00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:52,720 clearances of the arm and the boom 188 00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:54,800 destructure will be very tight and we 189 00:09:00,150 --> 00:08:58,240 don't always have cameras to 190 00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:00,160 get as good of a view as we would like 191 00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:02,480 to the station structure but we'll do 192 00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:04,080 our best we've got folks working on the 193 00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:06,160 ground actually as we speak reviewing 194 00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:08,720 procedures and getting all of that ready 195 00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:12,399 for us so we expect it to go very well 196 00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:13,760 hey guys it's bill harwood at the 197 00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:15,440 johnson space center 198 00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:17,040 as you know president obama is going to 199 00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:18,959 visit ksc next week to discuss the 200 00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:21,360 administration's new space policy and i 201 00:09:25,670 --> 00:09:23,279 realize it's probably career limiting 202 00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:25,680 for astronauts to talk politics but 203 00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:27,680 given the the major nature of this 204 00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:29,120 change i mean some people think it's the 205 00:09:32,870 --> 00:09:30,880 in-demand space flight some people think 206 00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:32,880 it's a bold step forward 207 00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:34,480 clay can you share the cliff notes 208 00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:36,640 version of perhaps what you think about 209 00:09:46,949 --> 00:09:45,430 you know life is full of changes and 210 00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:46,959 change is hard 211 00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:48,880 we know that from many different aspects 212 00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:51,200 of all our lives you know new parents 213 00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:52,640 find that change is a little tough in 214 00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:54,640 the beginning but eventually they figure 215 00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:55,600 it out 216 00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:57,440 and that's what we'll do with nasa and 217 00:10:01,590 --> 00:10:00,000 the space program i have no idea 218 00:10:03,350 --> 00:10:01,600 what real changes are coming you know 219 00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:03,360 there are the 220 00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:05,200 one side of one view and then there's 221 00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:06,720 the other side and we'll just have to 222 00:10:09,829 --> 00:10:08,399 see how it all falls out a lot of people 223 00:10:12,069 --> 00:10:09,839 get paid a lot of money to figure out 224 00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:12,079 this stuff and my job is to go out and 225 00:10:16,829 --> 00:10:14,800 perform as an astronaut and do spacewalk 226 00:10:19,509 --> 00:10:16,839 duties so we'll just have to see what 227 00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:19,519 happens well let me ask you an operator 228 00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:20,800 question in that case i mean you're 229 00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:22,160 obviously a shuttle veteran and you've 230 00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:24,240 lived on the space station 231 00:10:27,190 --> 00:10:25,760 no matter what happens it looks like the 232 00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:27,200 station's going to be the only game in 233 00:10:31,269 --> 00:10:29,200 town for quite a while in the manned 234 00:10:33,670 --> 00:10:31,279 space flight world how confident are you 235 00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:33,680 that nasa and the partners can sustain 236 00:10:42,069 --> 00:10:36,160 the lab complex keep it going without 237 00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:43,350 well you know the shuttle was a big 238 00:10:47,030 --> 00:10:45,120 workhorse but we have a lot of new 239 00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:47,040 players on the block the 240 00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:48,640 automated transfer vehicle from the 241 00:10:52,949 --> 00:10:50,880 european space agency the h2 transfer 242 00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:52,959 vehicle from the japanese 243 00:10:57,990 --> 00:10:54,720 the progress from the russians you know 244 00:11:00,069 --> 00:10:58,000 they're in the soyuz we have a lot of 245 00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:00,079 very talented countries participating in 246 00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:02,880 this endeavor and right now i don't have 247 00:11:06,470 --> 00:11:04,720 any reason to believe that we can't 248 00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:06,480 continue to do exactly what we've been 249 00:11:10,949 --> 00:11:08,000 doing all along 250 00:11:12,710 --> 00:11:10,959 it just remains to be seen in the future 251 00:11:14,949 --> 00:11:12,720 but i think that i have a high 252 00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:14,959 confidence in all these international 253 00:11:18,069 --> 00:11:16,560 partners being able to sustain the 254 00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:18,079 station and do some really excellent 255 00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:19,600 work 256 00:11:23,910 --> 00:11:21,680 and this is peter back in florida for 257 00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:23,920 rick a lot of people here are wondering 258 00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:25,519 what the president will say when he 259 00:11:29,190 --> 00:11:27,200 comes to the cape 260 00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:29,200 this coming week what do you hope to 261 00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:37,190 well i hope to hear that in the future 262 00:11:41,829 --> 00:11:39,839 nasa will be a big part of and have a 263 00:11:44,069 --> 00:11:41,839 large part in the human space flight 264 00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:44,079 obviously nasa is meant to be a leader 265 00:11:48,310 --> 00:11:46,399 of the country and a leader of the world 266 00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:48,320 in technology and innovation and that's 267 00:11:51,509 --> 00:11:50,000 what it's been for many many years and i 268 00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:51,519 hope that nasa will continue to be that 269 00:11:54,870 --> 00:11:53,360 way and i have no doubt that it will be 270 00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:54,880 no matter which direction we take i 271 00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:55,920 think nasa is going to be a big 272 00:12:01,110 --> 00:11:58,160 contributor to technologies and new 273 00:12:02,949 --> 00:12:01,120 ideas and

that's on 433 00:18:49,350 --> 00:18:47,919 board the space station right now we 434 00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:49,360 brought up a new one in the space 435 00:18:53,029 --> 00:18:51,440 shuttle yesterday we took that new one 436 00:18:55,430 --> 00:18:53,039 and we transferred over to the space 437 00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:55,440 station tomorrow we'll swap out the old 438 00:18:59,029 --> 00:18:57,120 and the new tank and then on our last 439 00:19:00,630 --> 00:18:59,039 spacewalk a couple days from now we'll 440 00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:00,640 remove the old tank and put it back in 441 00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:07,350 and and for everyone you know down here 442 00:19:11,430 --> 00:19:09,520 we can't possibly imagine this but tell 443 00:19:12,950 --> 00:19:11,440 us what it's like to be outside of that 444 00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:12,960 space station just floating around in 445 00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:20,150 it's an incredible feeling it's an 446 00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:22,720 experience that i will never forget and 447 00:19:25,909 --> 00:19:24,400 i'm sure every other space walker will 448 00:19:27,909 --> 00:19:25,919 tell you the same thing 449 00:19:29,270 --> 00:19:27,919 the views of the earth are spectacular 450 00:19:30,950 --> 00:19:29,280 you have to tell yourself to stop 451 00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:30,960 working for a bit to take a look down at 452 00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:32,480 the ground we actually did that 453 00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:34,400 yesterday as we flew over 454 00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:36,640 the united arab emirates and saw some of 455 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:38,640 those huge resorts that they've built 456 00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:40,400 out in the uh 457 00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:41,360 gulf of 458 00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:44,160 aden i believe so it was just incredible 459 00:19:47,350 --> 00:19:45,520 it's a great experience it's a lot of 460 00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:47,360 hard work but it's also very very 461 00:19:54,150 --> 00:19:52,390 i i can imagine and you know stephanie 462 00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:54,160 nasa set a record with the most number 463 00:19:57,750 --> 00:19:56,400 of women in space with space with this 464 00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:57,760 mission what's it like to be part of 465 00:20:00,710 --> 00:19:59,280 that record and do you have any advice 466 00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:00,720 to young girls who are looking at maybe 467 00:20:10,789 --> 00:20:09,110 well it's certainly an honor to uh 468 00:20:12,710 --> 00:20:10,799 so to speak be part of a record for the 469 00:20:13,990 --> 00:20:12,720 number of women in space and it's been a 470 00:20:15,669 --> 00:20:14,000 pleasure to 471 00:20:18,630 --> 00:20:15,679 work both with dottie metcalf 472 00:20:20,630 --> 00:20:18,640 lindenberger noko yamazaki and 473

very fortunate 476 00:20:29,990 --> 00:20:27,280 that many of the women in the astronaut 477 00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:30,000 program have many have come before us 478 00:20:33,909 --> 00:20:32,080 and paved the way and were able to learn 479 00:20:36,470 --> 00:20:33,919 from their mentorship and from the 480 00:20:38,630 --> 00:20:36,480 example that they set and for uh young 481 00:20:41,510 -->
