00:01:23,439 uh 15 00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:25,200 this is your first time as commander 16 00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:28,159 here atlanta's last scheduled flight 17 00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:29,840 how does that leave you feeling knowing 18 00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:31,360 that you're coming back for the last 19 00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:38,390 well it's a fantastic experience and 20 00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:39,520 as a crew 21 00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:41,840 what we're coining this flight is the 22 00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:43,600 first last flight of atlantis because 23 00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:45,680 obviously there is some potential for uh 24 00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:47,520 that great ship to fly again 25 00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:49,920 but uh she served us very well so far 26 00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:52,079 we're having a ball up here and uh we 27 00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:54,240 couldn't be happier with her performance 28 00:01:58,149 --> 00:01:55,759 and we'd like to say thanks again to the 29 00:02:02,310 --> 00:01:58,159 entire team that put her together ready 30 00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:04,709 tracy you have been on the international 31 00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:07,280 space station since march i understand 32 00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:10,080 and we sometimes report on the 33 00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:11,520 problems that you encounter throughout 34 00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:13,680 your day we had a generator go out just 35 00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:16,640 this week but overall it seems like you 36 00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:18,720 guys managed to deal pretty well with 37 00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:21,120 whatever challenges come up in front of 38 00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:23,120 you how will that change once the 39 00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:25,040 american shuttles are not going back and 40 00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:34,710 well i think 41 00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:36,959 nasa our nasa and our partners we we 42 00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:39,680 rise to the occasion and uh 43 00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:41,280 whatever challenge comes our way we've 44 00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:43,280 got lots of people lots of bright people 45 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:45,599 that are committed to making this work 46 00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:46,959 and 47 00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:49,040 exactly how depends on the problem but 48 00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:51,040 we still have vehicles coming up and and 49 00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:53,440 down it's uh it just puts our creative 50 00:02:59,990 --> 00:02:55,599 minds to work exactly how we're gonna 51 00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:01,430 well for instance the main mission for 52 00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,760 this atlanta shuttle was bringing up a 53 00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:05,360 very large component for the 54 00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:07,599 international space station do you not 55 00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:09,599 foresee any sort of instance where 56 00:03:13,589 --> 00:03:11,040 you're going to need a component that's 57 00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:13,599 so big that it exceeds what the russians 58 00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:21,509 well with the addition of mrm1 59 00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:22,319 that 60 00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:25,120 completes the station assembly as far as 61 00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:27,120 the large components go and so there's 62 00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:30,000 nothing planned right now 63 00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:31,519 but 64 00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:33,680 there's there's uh 65 00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:37,200 many spares on board there's not much 66 00:03:41,509 --> 00:03:38,400 large-scale 67 00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:41,519 objects that fit in the payload bay that 68 00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:44,159 have been scheduled to come up so 69 00:03:49,990 --> 00:03:46,319 i think that um right now we're in a 70 00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:52,390 let me bring in expedition 23 commander 71 00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:55,439 uh oleg kotov oleg i know that you're a 72 00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:57,200 medical doctor and some of the 73 00:04:02,070 --> 00:03:58,959 experiments you're doing there have to 74 00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,080 do with the impact on the human body and 75 00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:04,080 what the human body is capable of with 76 00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:07,120 standing in terms of stress in space how 77 00:04:10,309 --> 00:04:08,879 do you predict that what you're working 78 00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:10,319 on there on the international space 79 00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:24,710 yeah and that's i think it's a 80 00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:25,919 huge and 81 00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:27,120 um 82 00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:30,320 excellent uh science for post and uh 83 00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:31,440 orbit 84 00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:34,479 and really we provide this uh very good 85 00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:36,880 experiments and that's really helps 86 00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:40,479 people to live better on the earth and 87 00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:42,880 also to travel far 88 00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:44,880 behind in space 89 00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:46,320 so that's 90 00:04:51,990 --> 00:04:49,120 pretty good laboratory and especially 91 00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:52,000 for medical purposes uh we have set of 92 00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:53,680 experiments and 93 00:04:57,749 --> 00:04:54,840 provide 94 00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:57,759 uh some 95 00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:00,479 biomedical biomedicine and medicine 96 00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:03,039 experiment here so that's it's just a 97 00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:04,560 huge laboratory 98 00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,720 thank you 99 00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:08,720 let me okay so let me bring in

seeing some 103 00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:16,960 incredible images from space of that 104 00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:19,840 gulf oil slick can you just give me your 105 00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:21,280 perspective 106 00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:22,960 having a background in ecology what it's 107 00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:24,560 like for you to see 108 00:05:35,189 --> 00:05:33,110 well i got to report to my boss that i 109 00:05:36,830 --> 00:05:35,199 didn't see this oil slick because i was 110 00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:36,840 so busy 111 00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:39,600 working sorry to miss it but we have uh 112 00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:41,360 seen it um 113 00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:43,520 you know on tv before we came before we 114 00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:44,800 came up here 115 00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:46,720 uh you know these these things aren't 116 00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:47,520 good 117 00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:49,440 um when you fly around the planet a few 118 00:05:53,909 --> 00:05:51,600 times you get to see the 119 00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:53,919 thumbprint of man all over the place 120 00:05:59,270 --> 00:05:56,800 uh most of it good you know cultivation 121 00:06:01,110 --> 00:05:59,280 cities uh most of them clean 122 00:06:04,070 --> 00:06:01,120 and sometimes bad you know a lot of 123 00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:04,080 biomass burning and uh pollution 124 00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:06,400 but uh we're optimistic i think that 125 00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:07,680 people will eventually learn to look 126 00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:13,670 uh and by the way what is that peers on 127 00:06:21,909 --> 00:06:15,680 your leg is that a book that you're 128 00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:24,469 it's my brain 129 00:06:28,870 --> 00:06:26,800 this is a notebook of every uh thing my 130 00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:28,880 instructors tried to teach me before i 131 00:06:33,029 --> 00:06:30,800 left and i couldn't remember it all so 132 00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:33,039 it's all written down there and some of 133 00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:34,479 it i can't read 134 00:06:37,270 --> 00:06:35,520 but um 135 00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:37,280 this actually gets me through the days 136 00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:38,720 and we all have one i'm the only one 137 00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:44,790 i'm sure it takes real talent to be able 138 00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:47,039 to find what you need in a heartbeat all 139 00:06:51,350 --> 00:06:49,280 right last question here to garrett uh 140 00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:51,360 the space walker out there 141 00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:53,039 have you managed to 142 00:06:56,710 --> 00:06:54,880 go out and have a sense of 143 00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:56,720 accomplishment i mean this is something 144 00:07:00,629 --> 00:06:58,639 i'm sure when you have 145

walking in space 148 00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:06,960 it must leave you with such a feeling of 149 00:07:16,390 --> 00:07:14,150 there is really nothing like it i have 150 00:07:17,510 --> 00:07:16,400

at me and uh here i am today uh 157 00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:37,840 after having gone out there yesterday 158 00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:41,120 and steve and i uh really 159 00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:42,400

always remember is when 169 00:08:02,390 --> 00:08:00,400 we finally solved that problem got that 170 00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:02,400 connector hooked up 171 00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:04,720 it was a sense of elation that 172 00:08:07,830 --> 00:08:06,800 was difficult to describe 173 00:08:09,670 --> 00:08:07,840 but 174 00:08:11,430 --> 00:08:09,680 i was glad to 175 00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:11,440
