all right now this is a this is a really

10
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:35,760
dumb question why are you bouncing up

and down

12
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:44,470

13
00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:46,640
down a little better than i am

14
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:48,879
it's really uh we have these uh

15
00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:50,640
these uh loops that we can put our feet

16
00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:53,120
in and uh if you just lightly bend your

17
00:01:01,189 --> 00:00:59,670
oh i see you you have loops that around

18
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:01,199
your feet right now there's no way for

19
00:01:10,830 --> 00:01:07,670
not right now but if you let go you just

20
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:10,840
float up you see

21
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,080
those oh i see okay

22
00:01:17,350 --> 00:01:16,320
all right

23
00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:17,360
it's

24
00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:23,520
ask if i can pilot jim dutton and also

25
00:01:26,950 --> 00:01:26,080
specialists that kept lindenberger since

26
00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:26,960
you're

27
00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:29,439
newcomers here first timers

28
00:01:38,789 --> 00:01:31,680
what surprised you the most what was the

29
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:41,590
well for me diane it was just the beauty

30
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:43,680
of the earth i i was actually looking

31
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:45,280
forward to that the most of everything

32
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:48,000
but it still stunned me how beautiful it

33
00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:50,560
is to look back on the earth to see the

34
00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:53,680
curvature um the colors the sunrise the

35
00:01:58,550 --> 00:01:55,840
very first sunrise we saw in space was

36
00:02:01,030 --> 00:01:58,560
on our launch at about mach 7 as we were

37
00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:01,040
going uphill to space all of a sudden

38
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:02,640
these brilliant colors appeared on the

39
00:02:06,069 --> 00:02:03,759
horizon

40
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:06,079
and dex called for me to look out his

41
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:08,000
window and see it and then as we rolled

42
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:09,840
the heads up that horizon just spun in

43
00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:11,599
front of us with all those colors it was

44
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:12,879
amazing

45
00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:13,760
we've

46
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:15,599
done a number of passes over all the

47
00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:17,040
different continents

48
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:19,520
and it's just stunning to see it from

49
00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:22,720
this vantage point

50
00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:24,239
does it make you think differently about

51
00:02:34,949 --> 00:02:33,190
i'm sorry diane can you say that again

52
00:02:36,869 --> 00:02:34,959
yes

53
00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:36,879
yeah jim i was just asking if it makes

54
00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:38,720
you feel differently about this little

55
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:46,790
it does actually um

56
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:49,200
you know as beautiful as earth is from

57
00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:50,640
up here you definitely get the

58
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:52,000
perspective that we need to do

59
00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:53,920
everything we can to take care of it and

60
00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:55,599
uh i think i'll be even more

61
00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:57,440
conscientious about recycling my coke

62
00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:02,630
if not you

63
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:12,630
and i agree with jim um

64
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:14,720
last night before we were going to bed

65
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:17,280
it was daylight over the west coast and

66
00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:18,560
although i didn't grow up on the west

67
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:21,200
coast jim did but i spent a good chunk

68
00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:22,959
of my life out there going to college

69
00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:24,640
and teaching

70
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:27,599
and we came up over

71
00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:29,519
portland oregon and we could pick it out

72
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:31,519
and then we came down through

73
00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:33,840
the rockies and then we even came over

74
00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:36,640
our new home in houston and

75
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:38,239
it's just looking at the earth never

76
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:40,000
gets old and the other thing that never

77
00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:42,319
gets old is floating i think floating is

78
00:03:50,789 --> 00:03:48,470
uh let me ask you about daddy is the

79
00:03:52,869 --> 00:03:50,799
story true that you were teaching

80
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:52,879
astronomy in high school

81
00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:55,200
in school and you went on a website and

82
00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:03,509
yeah that's a true story um i taught

83
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:06,080
astronomy to juniors and seniors and i

84
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:08,480
tried to um make sure that their their

85
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:10,080
questions were answered and we were

86
00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:13,280
doing a short unit on humans in space

87
00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:15,200
and a student asked how do you go to the

88
00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:17,359
bathroom in space and

89
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:19,120
i didn't know exactly what the toilet

90
00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:21,120
looked like on the shuttle

91
00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:22,800
and so i did go and look it up and the

92
00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:25,199
nasa website had a little video about

93
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,240
using

94
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:28,560
the washroom on the shuttle

95
00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:30,320
as well as the

96
00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:37,350
and do you want to tell us all anything

97
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:47,030
it works well

98
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:48,950
all right mission specialist uh

99
00:04:53,189 --> 00:04:51,040
stephanie wilson first time you've been

100
00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:53,199
up with so many women right is it

101
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:00,550
yes it and at the same

102
00:05:05,590 --> 00:05:02,400
time it's different and it's also the

103
00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:05,600
same i mean we all train together we've

104
00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:09,600
had over 50 women now fly into space and

105
00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:11,759
we can certainly use more we are very

106
00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:13,759
fortunate to have some of the original

107
00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:15,039
women that started training for the

108
00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:17,520
shuttle still in our office as mentors

109
00:05:25,430 --> 00:05:20,000
and we look forward to inspiring

110
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:32,310
and commander is it different for you

111
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,749
you know uh

112
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:35,520
we're uh we're one of the few shuttle

113
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:37,440
crews that had three women on board i

114
00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:39,360
think we're the third and uh but i'll

115
00:05:42,390 --> 00:05:41,520
tell you what diane it's we're really a

116
00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:42,400
gender

117
00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:45,680
neutral uh organization uh i don't think

118
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:48,080
gender has come up in our training uh

119
00:05:51,189 --> 00:05:49,360
at all

120
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:51,199
these ladies are are

121
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,080
super capable professionals and uh

122
00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:56,160
we've got uh four of them on board and

123
00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:58,720
uh they all do just a great job and

124
00:06:01,990 --> 00:06:00,479
and uh tell you the truth we never

125
00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:02,000
really even think about gender when it

126
00:06:06,309 --> 00:06:03,360
comes to job assignments or anything

127
00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:06,319
else

128
00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:08,720
but tell me you have a day off finally

129
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:10,960
or half day off coming up

130
00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:12,960
what are you going to do

131
00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:23,830
well you know obviously looking out the

132
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:26,160
window is a high priority and uh it's

133
00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:28,560
really fun to also uh contact family and

134
00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:30,960
friends from up here um a few of them

135
00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:33,120
that i've been able to call and and talk

136
00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:34,880
with uh you know in the course of a

137
00:06:39,749 --> 00:06:37,199
conversation we'll cover a few thousand

138
00:06:42,309 --> 00:06:39,759
miles and that always throws them for a

139
00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:42,319
loop and usually uh people are a little

140
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:43,919
bit breathless when they first hear from

141
00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:46,000
you so it's it's fun to have time to

142
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:52,950
well we have to leave you now but if you

143
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:54,800

clear welcome aboard the international

161
00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:07,599
space station we're ready for your

162
00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:12,790
all right well let me begin today with

163
00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:15,199
uh jim because i know this is your first

164
00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:17,120
space flight and before you lift it off

165
00:08:24,869 --> 00:08:19,199
you said it's hard to wrap your head

166
00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:26,309
well there's a couple different things

167
00:08:30,390 --> 00:08:27,759
that are hard to get your mind around

168
00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:30,400
one is having wanted to do something for

169
00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:32,000
about 30 years of your life and then

170
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:34,080
suddenly having it right before you and

171
00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:36,560
uh so for for me that was

172
00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:38,240
kind of amazing just to realize that it

173
00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:39,519
was actually going to happen i have a

174
00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:41,120
lot of friends who

175
00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:42,719
would love to be up here right now and i

176
00:08:47,269 --> 00:08:45,200
wish were here with me and

177
00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:47,279
so i know that i'm very blessed to to be

178
00:08:51,190 --> 00:08:49,360
here i think also just wrapping your

179
00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:51,200
mind around about what you're going to

180
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:52,560
do

181
00:08:56,550 --> 00:08:55,360
jumping onto a rocket and launching into

182
00:08:59,670 --> 00:08:56,560
space is

183
00:09:02,150 --> 00:08:59,680
is pretty exciting in denver so

184
00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:02,160
all that really was just hard to hard to

185
00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:08,070
speaking of getting a grip you know the

186
00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:09,760
veteran astronauts sometimes say it's

187
00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:11,519
funny to watch the rookies come up and

188
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:12,880
try to

189
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:14,880
figure out their way around zero gravity

190
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:16,800
but it looks like jim you've got this

191
00:09:27,509 --> 00:09:24,710
i can tell you these guys are far from

192
00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:27,519
rookies uh they hit they hit space uh

193
00:09:32,550 --> 00:09:30,399
running and uh did a great job uh right

194
00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:32,560
after uh right after manage cut off when

195
00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:35,040
we got into orbit uh these guys

196
00:09:40,310 --> 00:09:36,959
took off when their uh their pre-flight

197
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:40,320
plan and never stopped and they've been

198
00:09:48,790 --> 00:09:46,949
all right let me talk to the other

199
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:48,800
so-called rookie since you hit the

200
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:51,040
ground running dorothy metcalf

201
00:09:55,509 --> 00:09:52,720
lindenberger

202
00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:55,519
here you've been orchestrating the

203
00:10:03,269 --> 00:09:58,240
whoops the space walk out there

204
00:10:08,069 --> 00:10:05,590
well it's just a real pleasure to watch

205
00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:08,079
rick and clay work out on

206
00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:09,600
the international space station you know

207
00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:11,360
we've spent uh

208
00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:13,680
many hours in the neutral buoyancy lab

209
00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:16,640
back in houston with very capable divers

210
00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:20,240
in fact rick's son is one of our divers

211
00:10:23,110 --> 00:10:21,760
and it's just really neat to see

212
00:10:25,030 --> 00:10:23,120
everything come together jim and

213
00:10:26,069 --> 00:10:25,040
stephanie have been flying the robotic

214
00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:26,079
arm

215
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:28,720
and in the pool we can't have all those

216
00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:31,120
robotic maneuvers exactly as planned

217
00:10:34,389 --> 00:10:33,040
because the water cannot support the

218
00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:34,399
arm's weight

219
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:36,000
but here on orbit

220
00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:37,680
yesterday it was probably our most

221
00:10:42,389 --> 00:10:39,920
technical spacewalk and

222
00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:42,399
all of the robotic arm operations came

223
00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:44,480
perfectly together with

224
00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:46,320
what rick and clay were doing outside

225
00:10:51,509 --> 00:10:49,120
and and i could watch most of it out the

226
00:10:53,190 --> 00:10:51,519
uh upper windows of the space shuttle

227
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:53,200
and so i spent my time on the flight

228
00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:55,120
deck just doing that and making sure

229
00:10:58,230 --> 00:10:56,959
that they were safe and you probably

230
00:11:00,710 --> 00:10:58,240
heard that we struggled a little bit

231
00:11:01,670 --> 00:11:00,720
with a bolt because the hardware changes

232
00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:01,680
in the

233
00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:04,560
extreme heat and cold up here but as you

234
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:06,880
saw clay and rick were very professional

235
00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:08,720
and they and they got it seated down so

236
00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:15,110
stephanie now i understand you're able

237
00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:17,440
to look out these windows of the cupola

238
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:20,000
instead of relying on video feeds does

239
00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:27,990
and actually for our mission we were

240
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:30,640
hoping to be able to fly the robotic arm

241
00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:32,240
out of the cupola

242
00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:35,519
module that has all the windows but

243
00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:37,519
we were not able to make that happen for

244
00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:38,880
this flight we're hoping that the next

245
00:11:42,710 --> 00:11:40,720
shuttle flight will be able to do that

246
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:42,720
we have had a chance to

247
00:11:47,269 --> 00:11:44,880
go into the cupola and view the earth

248
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:47,279
from from that vantage point and it is

249
00:11:51,430 --> 00:11:49,760
spectacular and i have every uh hope

250
00:11:56,069 --> 00:11:51,440
that it will help the future arm

251
00:12:00,550 --> 00:11:58,550
alan let me ask you as the commander the

252
00:12:02,550 --> 00:12:00,560
shuttle program is ending and certainly

253
00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:02,560
the international space station becomes

254
00:12:07,269 --> 00:12:05,200
one of the the biggest legacies here of

255
00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:07,279
that 134

256
00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:08,480
mission

257
00:12:12,790 --> 00:12:11,440
in the program's 29 years 29 years today

258
00:12:15,509 --> 00:12:12,800
april 12th

259
00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:15,519
what what do you think is the future for

260
00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:17,360
america's space program now with the

261
00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:19,360
shuttle program ending and of course the

262
00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:21,279
president has canceled the next program

263
00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:29,430
well we have a lot of really interesting

264
00:12:32,949 --> 00:12:31,040
science and research going on in the

265
00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:32,959
international space station and you know

266
00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:34,800
we're just about complete finishing it

267
00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:35,440
up

268
00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:38,399
flights

269
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:39,839
from the space shuttle we will have

270
00:12:43,829 --> 00:12:41,760
other vehicle visiting vehicles that

271
00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:43,839
will be able to bring supplies up

272
00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:46,399
and keep the crews supplied

273
00:12:50,629 --> 00:12:48,480
and bring new science on board and new

274
00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:50,639
research activities so there's a lot of

275
00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:51,760
exciting stuff going on in the

276
00:12:54,949 --> 00:12:53,600
international space station

277
00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:54,959
and uh it's interesting that you bring

278
00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:56,720
up the uh the anniversary of the space

279
00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:59,200
shuttle lots of interesting uh

280
00:13:02,790 --> 00:13:00,720
of science has been done as well with

281
00:13:03,829 --> 00:13:02,800
the hubble space telescope as we all

282
00:13:05,750 --> 00:13:03,839
know and

283
00:13:07,269 --> 00:13:05,760
you know it's it's time to look back and

284
00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:07,279
reflect about all the great things that

285
00:13:10,389 --> 00:13:08,560
the space shuttle has brought us over

286
00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:10,399
the last 29 years

287
00:13:13,110 --> 00:13:11,440
and uh

288
00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:13,120
so i think this we're going to we're

289
00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:15,440
going places we're going to uh we're

290
00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:17,760
doing a lot of interesting stuff up here

291
00:13:25,509 --> 00:13:24,550
but is there a disadvantage do you think

292
00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:25,519
alan

293
00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:27,760
for america not to have its own shuttle

294
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:30,000
program or will it

295
00:13:34,310 --> 00:13:32,800
facilitating getting products back and

296
00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:34,320
forth to the space station the fact that

297
00:13:46,150 --> 00:13:43,269
we'll be we'll the americans will still

298
00:13:48,310 --> 00:13:46,160
be riding coming to the space station

299
00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:48,320
aboard the russian soyuz vehicles and so

300
00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:49,040
we

301
00:13:54,870 --> 00:13:52,880
able to come and go to the international

302
00:13:58,550 --> 00:13:54,880
space station to do their work up here

303
00:14:00,310 --> 00:13:58,560
while we work on on commercial uh cargo

304
00:14:02,389 --> 00:14:00,320
and potentially crew

305
00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:02,399
transfer up and down as well so i'm

306
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:04,399
hopeful that for the future and and i

307
00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:07,360
think the uh the leadership and the and

308
00:14:11,829 --> 00:14:09,600
and the folks who make policy decisions

309
00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:11,839
we'll we'll do the right thing and and

310
00:14:20,069 --> 00:14:17,910
all right stephanie uh this time in

311
00:14:22,389 --> 00:14:20,079
space and for the first time there are

312
00:14:29,189 --> 00:14:22,399
four women in space is this a giant leap

313
00:14:34,150 --> 00:14:31,189
well i would say it's a it's a giant

314
00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:34,160
leap for humankind uh this is the third

315
00:14:38,389 --> 00:14:36,560
shuttle flight to have three women and

316
00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:38,399
as we join tracy caldwell international

317
00:14:41,430 --> 00:14:40,399
space station daddy noeco and i are

318
00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:41,440
certainly

319
00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:43,600
thrilled to be working with tracy we're

320
00:14:47,590 --> 00:14:45,440
thrilled to be working with each other

321
00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:47,600
and we also have the benefit of the

322
00:14:51,350 --> 00:14:49,199
mentorship of

323
00:14:52,790 --> 00:14:51,360
women in the astronaut office that have

324
00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:52,800
been there to

325
00:14:57,670 --> 00:14:55,680
lend us their experience and so it is a

326
00:15:01,110 --> 00:14:57,680
giant leap for all of us in the

327
00:15:04,790 --> 00:15:02,949
and finally jim we know we talked to

328
00:15:06,310 --> 00:15:04,800
your mom who said that you have wanted

329
00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:06,320
to be an astronaut since you were a

330
00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:08,639
child and in fact it was your school

331
00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:11,440
librarian who helped you with a letter

332
00:15:14,949 --> 00:15:13,360
and she was at the launch now what

333
00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:14,959
message do you have for other children

334
00:15:18,790 --> 00:15:16,800
out there who might be watching this and

335
00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:18,800
they themselves dream of one day being

336
00:15:28,790 --> 00:15:26,790
well i think for kids uh having any kind

337
00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:28,800
of dream is really a gift it gives you a

338
00:15:31,590 --> 00:15:30,000
focus and

339
00:15:33,590 --> 00:15:31,600
um helps you to get through the hard

340
00:15:34,949 --> 00:15:33,600
times when you're when you're focused on

341
00:15:37,189 --> 00:15:34,959
a dream you can do things that you

342
00:15:39,670 --> 00:15:37,199
wouldn't normally do because you see the

343
00:15:41,189 --> 00:15:39,680
end goal so i think that's uh what i'd

344
00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:41,199
encourage them to do is find what they

345
00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:44,079
love um and pursue it with all their

346
00:15:48,310 --> 00:15:46,160
heart enjoy the the journey along the

347
00:15:50,470 --> 00:15:48,320
way because uh it's not necessarily

348
00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:50,480
getting to the goal that uh brings the

349
00:15:54,949 --> 00:15:52,480
most satisfaction i think it's uh it's

350
00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:54,959
really the journey enjoying each part of

351
00:15:58,710 --> 00:15:56,560
it i know that my time in the air force

352
00:16:00,790 --> 00:15:58,720
leading here has been a tremendous

353
00:16:03,269 --> 00:16:00,800
uh blessing to me and my family and i

354
00:16:04,790 --> 00:16:03,279
know from my colleagues

355
00:16:06,790 --> 00:16:04,800
the different careers that they had

356
00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:06,800
prior to coming to nasa were very

357
00:16:11,509 --> 00:16:09,120
fulfilling as well so

358
00:16:13,189 --> 00:16:11,519
so the end goal is is a great thing to

359
00:16:17,030 --> 00:16:13,199
motivate you but

personal life that offends people you

384
00:17:25,350 --> 00:17:23,039
have to sit with them on a personal

everything's outstanding we've uh

419
00:18:46,390 --> 00:18:44,240
getting a lot of work done we're seeing

420
00:18:47,909 --> 00:18:46,400
some beautiful sights we've had two of

421
00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:47,919
our three spacewalks as you mentioned

422
00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:49,760
already and tomorrow is the third one

423
00:18:53,430 --> 00:18:51,280
they're quarterback for those spacewalks

424
00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:53,440
or evas is standing right next to me

425
00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:56,080
and dottie just does a great job and jim

426
00:19:01,110 --> 00:18:58,240
and stephanie here are two of our main

427
00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:01,120
robotics operators and and they uh they

428
00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:03,120
fly both the space shuttle and space

429
00:19:07,590 --> 00:19:05,280
station robotic arms during most of our

430
00:19:08,630 --> 00:19:07,600
activities and everyone's doing a great

431
00:19:12,789 --> 00:19:08,640
job and

432
00:19:17,909 --> 00:19:16,070
i i know that uh it's the end of an era

433
00:19:20,710 --> 00:19:17,919
for the shuttle you know we're coming to

434
00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:20,720
a point where uh us crews are are going

435
00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:22,480
to be hitching a ride on russian

436
00:19:25,990 --> 00:19:24,320
spacecraft to get up to the

437
00:19:28,549 --> 00:19:26,000
international space station after just a

438
00:19:35,669 --> 00:19:28,559
couple more shuttle missions jim what

439
00:19:39,110 --> 00:19:37,110
well i think everyone feels a little

440
00:19:41,510 --> 00:19:39,120
bittersweet about seeing the space

441
00:19:43,590 --> 00:19:41,520
shuttle program come to an end but

442
00:19:46,870 --> 00:19:43,600
we also realize that there comes a time

443
00:19:49,430 --> 00:19:46,880
for any uh any major system whether it's

444
00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:49,440
uh like in the military we had aircraft

445
00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:51,760
that was very difficult to see retire

446
00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:53,600
everyone was in love with them and and i

447
00:19:57,990 --> 00:19:55,919
think we really have a lot of people who

448
00:20:00,549 --> 00:19:58,000
love the shuttle but um

449
00:20:03,029 --> 00:20:00,559
we we have to continue to press on into

450
00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:03,039
the future and uh we're uh we're

451
00:20:06,470 --> 00:20:04,559
certainly going to miss the capability

452
00:20:08,390 --> 00:20:06,480
that the shuttle has given us it's been

453
00:20:10,310 --> 00:20:08,400
a tremendous vehicle when you look at

454
00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:10,320
everything it's done from deploying

455
00:20:14,310 --> 00:20:12,320
satellites probably the best known of

456
00:20:15,270 --> 00:20:14,320
those being the hubble

457
00:20:17,430 --> 00:20:15,280
to

458
00:20:19,190 --> 00:20:17,440
this being the crown jewel of all that

459
00:20:21,270 --> 00:20:19,200
the shuttle has done assembling the

460
00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:21,280
international space station which really

461
00:20:24,470 --> 00:20:22,480
could not have been done without the

462
00:20:26,070 --> 00:20:24,480
space shuttle so

463
00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:26,080
yeah we're gonna we're gonna miss it i

464
00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:31,270
dorothy even though we're coming to the

465
00:20:35,029 --> 00:20:32,880
end of that era

466
00:20:35,909 --> 00:20:35,039
this is a history making flight first

467
00:20:39,350 --> 00:20:35,919
time

468
00:20:44,870 --> 00:20:39,360
for women in space on board the shuttle

469
00:20:50,149 --> 00:20:47,510
that is correct and this is a third

470
00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:50,159
flight with three women and uh the first

471
00:20:52,870 --> 00:20:51,840
time four women have been together in

472
00:20:53,830 --> 00:20:52,880
space

473
00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:53,840
um

474
00:20:58,390 --> 00:20:55,760
and what i think it says is

475
00:21:01,029 --> 00:20:58,400
that we're all really lucky um we were

476
00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:01,039
brought here by two very capable men

477
00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:03,280
and we have a lot of diversity on our

478
00:21:07,190 --> 00:21:05,760
crew and i think that just shows that

479
00:21:09,270 --> 00:21:07,200
it's important to have a lot of

480
00:21:11,750 --> 00:21:09,280
diversity that we each contribute in a

481
00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:11,760
unique and special way and then i hope

482
00:21:14,710 --> 00:21:13,360
this shows all

483
00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:14,720
students out there

484
00:21:18,950 --> 00:21:17,120
that uh there is nothing that you cannot

485
00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:18,960
do and so um

486
00:21:23,190 --> 00:21:20,880
we have just made a lot of progress as a

487
00:21:24,789 --> 00:21:23,200
whole country in that way and i'm really

488
00:21:27,669 --> 00:21:24,799
glad that we can be a part of this but

489
00:21:30,310 --> 00:21:27,679
uh again it was all of us as a team um

490
00:21:32,710 --> 00:21:30,320
doing this

491
00:21:35,430 --> 00:21:32,720
dottie one of the educators in space uh

492
00:21:37,750 --> 00:21:35,440
stephanie i know this is a second trip a

493
00:21:40,230 --> 00:21:37,760
return to space for you

494
00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:40,240
with the shuttle program winding down i

495
00:21:47,110 --> 00:21:42,000
mean how do you top this what do you do

496
00:21:49,830 --> 00:21:48,470
well there's certainly the future to

497
00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:49,840
look forward to

498
00:21:53,270 --> 00:21:51,760
although we're here on the space station

499
00:21:56,470 --> 00:21:53,280
we are really

500
00:21:58,230 --> 00:21:56,480
visiting only for 10 days or so

501
00:21:59,990 --> 00:21:58,240
there's opportunity to do a long

502
00:22:02,149 --> 00:22:00,000
duration flight to live and work aboard

503
00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:02,159
the international space station uh we're

504
00:22:08,149 --> 00:22:05,120
hoping that in the future we will still

505
00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:08,159
be able to explore and we can be part of

506
00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:09,840
those mission designs or part of those

507
00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:12,240
exploration missions so certainly the

508
00:22:18,390 --> 00:22:14,880
future is uh very very wide and has a

509
00:22:22,230 --> 00:22:20,870
well we are certainly proud of the job

510
00:22:24,549 --> 00:22:22,240
you're doing up there i know you have

511
00:22:25,750 --> 00:22:24,559
all trained years for this mission doing

512
00:22:27,270 --> 00:22:25,760
a great job

00:23:04,870 --> 00:23:03,029
very good well hello sts 131 from 9 news

520
00:23:06,549 --> 00:23:04,880
in denver and dottie i'm going to start

521
00:23:08,710 --> 00:23:06,559
with you because you've already got a

522
00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:08,720
fan club the phone's been ringing off

523
00:23:13,029 --> 00:23:10,559
the hook here at nine news from all your

524
00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:13,039
fans here in colorado anything you want

525
00:23:23,669 --> 00:23:20,470
well i loved growing up in colorado

526
00:23:25,909 --> 00:23:23,679
it inspired me to go on and and uh study

527
00:23:28,070 --> 00:23:25,919
both geology and astronomy we have some

528
00:23:29,750 --> 00:23:28,080
of the best rocks in the world and we

529
00:23:32,149 --> 00:23:29,760
also have some of the best nights to

530
00:23:36,470 --> 00:23:32,159
view the stars and i couldn't think of a

531
00:23:40,149 --> 00:23:38,390
roger that i i do have to ask you

532
00:23:41,990 --> 00:23:40,159
because you know you're gonna kind of

533
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:42,000
bring a different perspective to this

534
00:23:46,070 --> 00:23:44,400
being a first-time flyer

535
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:46,080
i know you went through the simulations

536
00:23:49,590 --> 00:23:47,600
you went through all of that training

537
00:23:51,510 --> 00:23:49,600
but what has surprised you what has

538
00:23:57,350 --> 00:23:51,520
overwhelmed you what has amazed you

539
00:24:01,029 --> 00:23:59,350
well i think the most important thing is

540
00:24:03,350 --> 00:24:01,039
all of those simulations and training

541
00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:03,360
events actually prepare you for exactly

542
00:24:06,710 --> 00:24:04,720
what you're doing

543
00:24:09,269 --> 00:24:06,720
many of times we've all commented that

544
00:24:11,029 --> 00:24:09,279
this is just like the simulator

545
00:24:13,029 --> 00:24:11,039
from the moment of getting into the

546
00:24:14,950 --> 00:24:13,039
shuttle right before we were launching

547
00:24:16,870 --> 00:24:14,960
other than being out on the pad which

548
00:24:19,590 --> 00:24:16,880
was a different experience to actually

549
00:24:21,830 --> 00:24:19,600
hear the vehicle breathing and

550
00:24:24,230 --> 00:24:21,840
see all the gases once you got in the

551
00:24:26,390 --> 00:24:24,240
shuttle it looked very much like the

552
00:24:28,149 --> 00:24:26,400
the simulators that we train in

553
00:24:30,390 --> 00:24:28,159
and also when we've come over to the

554
00:24:32,870 --> 00:24:30,400
international space station and we've

555
00:24:35,990 --> 00:24:32,880
done all of our space walks and our

556
00:24:38,470 --> 00:24:36,000
robotic operations uh the simulators

557
00:24:40,230 --> 00:24:38,480
have really prepared us so then i guess

558
00:24:41,750 --> 00:24:40,240
the next part that surprised me is just

559
00:24:43,590 --> 00:24:41,760
the floating part and you have to

560
00:24:46,230 --> 00:24:43,600
remember to look all around when you're

561
00:24:49,110 --> 00:24:46,240
missing your pencil

562
00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:49,120
you know uh your your mom and dad i

563
00:24:52,549 --> 00:24:50,640
don't know if you knew this but they let

564
00:24:54,870 --> 00:24:52,559
us into your bedroom

565
00:24:56,710 --> 00:24:54,880
and they've kept it like a little shrine

566
00:24:58,149 --> 00:24:56,720
to their daughter complete with the

567
00:25:00,310 --> 00:24:58,159
space shuttle

568
00:25:05,190 --> 00:25:00,320
model that you had as a kid that's

569
00:25:10,789 --> 00:25:07,830
yeah i made that after i went to space

570
00:25:13,110 --> 00:25:10,799
camp when i was in ninth grade and uh my

571
00:25:15,110 --> 00:25:13,120
mom was testing it like about six months

572
00:25:18,070 --> 00:25:15,120
ago and she said did you know that the

573
00:25:19,590 --> 00:25:18,080
name on that shuttle is discovery and i

574
00:25:22,549 --> 00:25:19,600
think that's pretty special that i got

575
00:25:24,310 --> 00:25:22,559
to come up on discovery

576
00:25:27,190 --> 00:25:24,320
i want to thank all of you for your

577
00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:27,200
service to the country in particular you

578
00:25:31,350 --> 00:25:29,760
alan i know that you came from the navy

579
00:25:33,750 --> 00:25:31,360
pipeline i got to tell you i'm a proud

580
00:25:35,269 --> 00:25:33,760
military parent myself my son is a super

581
00:25:38,310 --> 00:25:35,279
hornet instructor

582
00:25:41,110 --> 00:25:38,320
at nas oceana and of course james you're

583
00:25:43,430 --> 00:25:41,120
an afa grad class of 91

584
00:25:45,590 --> 00:25:43,440
for the future as it relates to space

585
00:25:47,590 --> 00:25:45,600
flight is the military still a good

586
00:25:52,549 --> 00:25:47,600
option for people that want to go to the

587
00:25:58,710 --> 00:25:55,110
you bet it is the the skills that that

588
00:26:00,230 --> 00:25:58,720
you gather and the uh the leadership

589
00:26:01,990 --> 00:26:00,240
skills that you obtain

590
00:26:03,110 --> 00:26:02,000
through a military pipeline will always

591
00:26:06,789 --> 00:26:03,120
be valuable

592
00:26:09,029 --> 00:26:06,799
uh to to the astronaut corps

593
00:26:12,310 --> 00:26:09,039
the test the gemini are both test pilots

594
00:26:14,149 --> 00:26:12,320
as well and and we learn to be uh

595
00:26:15,990 --> 00:26:14,159
part a lot about being a test pilot is

596
00:26:18,470 --> 00:26:16,000
not just being a good pilot but learning

597
00:26:21,029 --> 00:26:18,480
how to critique things well and how to

598
00:26:23,190 --> 00:26:21,039
how to put your thoughts uh into words

599
00:26:24,950 --> 00:26:23,200
and how to write requirements and and

600
00:26:26,630 --> 00:26:24,960
all those skills will will be very

601
00:26:28,470 --> 00:26:26,640
valuable for the future restaurants as

602
00:26:30,390 --> 00:26:28,480
well

603
00:26:32,950 --> 00:26:30,400
jim i had mentioned colorado springs a

604
00:26:35,269 --> 00:26:32,960
moment ago as we speak there is a

605
00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:35,279
national symposium on space that is

606
00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:37,360
opening in the springs

607
00:26:43,350 --> 00:26:39,840
the movers and shakers from nasa are

608
00:26:46,149 --> 00:26:43,360
there people in the private sectors are

609
00:26:48,310 --> 00:26:46,159
all there and the big topic is about

610
00:26:50,710 --> 00:26:48,320
what's going to happen with nasa are we

611
00:26:52,390 --> 00:26:50,720
ready to make the shift from a

612
00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:52,400
government-centric

613
00:27:00,710 --> 00:26:53,520
business

614
00:27:04,870 --> 00:27:02,390
well i think that like in most

615
00:27:06,310 --> 00:27:04,880
organizations there's people who are

616
00:27:08,070 --> 00:27:06,320
policy makers and there are people who

617
00:27:09,590 --> 00:27:08,080
are executors and i fall more on the

618
00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:09,600
execution side

619
00:27:12,950 --> 00:27:10,320
but

620
00:27:14,070 --> 00:27:12,960
i certainly i trust the

621
00:27:16,310 --> 00:27:14,080
the people that we have in those

622
00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:16,320
positions uh to make the right the

623
00:27:19,110 --> 00:27:18,080
decision that we really need to make as

624
00:27:21,430 --> 00:27:19,120
a country

625
00:27:23,909 --> 00:27:21,440
my hope is that we will continue to

626
00:27:26,549 --> 00:27:23,919
explore the universe and

627
00:27:28,950 --> 00:27:26,559
and also that we will make low earth

628
00:27:31,510 --> 00:27:28,960
orbit more accessible to commercial

629
00:27:33,029 --> 00:27:31,520
space and also eventually to the general

630
00:27:35,110 --> 00:27:33,039
public so

631
00:27:36,870 --> 00:27:35,120
there's a lot of possibilities right now

632
00:27:38,470 --> 00:27:36,880
it's very exciting the technology is

633
00:27:40,789 --> 00:27:38,480
really starting to come on

634
00:27:42,549 --> 00:27:40,799
and so i think it's going to be a lot of

635
00:27:45,029 --> 00:27:42,559
fun to tune in and see where space is

636
00:27:48,710 --> 00:27:46,789
stephanie just in my closing moments i

637
00:27:49,990 --> 00:27:48,720
didn't want to ignore you i'm sorry

638
00:27:52,549 --> 00:27:50,000
about that spent a lot of time on the

639
00:27:54,549 --> 00:27:52,559
colorado kid there but uh tell me a

640
00:27:56,710 --> 00:27:54,559
little bit about what still has to be

641
00:27:58,310 --> 00:27:56,720
done before this mission is done you've

642
00:28:03,510 --> 00:27:58,320
got another spacewalk coming up and

643
00:28:08,870 --> 00:28:06,230
we do our last spacewalk we'll be taking

644
00:28:10,630 --> 00:28:08,880
um the empty ammonia tank home with us

645
00:28:13,909 --> 00:28:10,640
so we still have to take that off of our

646
00:28:15,909 --> 00:28:13,919
payload oru accommodations and put it on

647
00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:15,919
into the payload bay and we'll be doing

648
00:28:20,389 --> 00:28:18,640
that with the help of rick and clay and

649
00:28:22,310 --> 00:28:20,399
we also have some work to do where we're

650
00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:22,320
turning a platform for the european

651
00:28:26,630 --> 00:28:24,880
space agency and some of our third

652
00:28:28,950 --> 00:28:26,640
spacewalk has been changed so rick and

653
00:28:31,990 --> 00:28:28,960
clay are reviewing those procedures as

654
00:28:34,070 --> 00:28:32,000
we speak to get the new changes

655
00:28:37,029 --> 00:28:34,080
and jim and i will be working with them

656
00:28:39,029 --> 00:28:37,039
tomorrow with the robotic arm operations

657
00:28:41,110 --> 00:28:39,039
and we look forward to working with them

658
00:28:42,710 --> 00:28:41,120
as we have on the other two space walks

659
00:28:45,269 --> 00:28:42,720
it's all gone very smoothly we've had

660
00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:45,279
great communications and it's been

661
00:28:52,389 --> 00:28:50,789
it has been a true pleasure and an honor

662
00:28:54,549 --> 00:28:52,399
and a personal highlight to be able to

663
00:28:56,950 --> 00:28:54,559
talk to you guys again thank you for
