to my family janine

9
00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:55,510
is mission control houston you're seeing

10
00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:57,200
live downlink from the orbiting complex

11
00:02:02,469 --> 00:01:59,600
now making its way over mongolia

12
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:02,479
that last call from capcom shannon lucid

13
00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:04,320
up to the orbit crew regarding a

14
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:07,200
configuration to the h2 tanks the

15
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:16,390
crew reporting back and they will

16
00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:18,000
resume that conversation as soon as we

17
00:03:17,990 --> 00:02:19,680
resume communications link up with the

18
00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:19,509
okay i think we're ready for questions

19
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,869
yes it's we're ready for questions

20
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:30,949
hi this is robert perlman with

21
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:33,840
collectspace.com and space.com a

22
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:37,200
question for atlantis commander ken ham

23
00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:38,959
yesterday while answering students

24
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:40,879
questions you said it would be an honor

25
00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:42,319
if it turns out that you and your

26
00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:44,799
crewmates are flying atlantis final

27
00:03:49,589 --> 00:03:46,959
mission with that in mind how would you

28
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:49,599
have sts-132 remembered in the history

29
00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:50,480
books

30
00:03:55,149 --> 00:03:52,400
what to you has been the highlights of

31
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:55,159
the past 10 days that you feel set apart

32
00:04:02,149 --> 00:03:57,280
sts-132 as a mission suiting an

33
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:04,390
a good question robert

34
00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:07,200
i don't want to or hope that we set

35
00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:10,239
ourselves aside as a different or better

36
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,519
if you will

37
00:04:14,789 --> 00:04:13,280
crew mission than any other mission that

38
00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:14,799
was on atlantis

39
00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:16,079
one of our objectives from the very

40
00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:17,120
beginning like we talked about

41
00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:19,919
pre-flight was to get our job done

42
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:21,600
professionally get it done correctly get

43
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:23,440
it done on time and then also have a lot

44
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:26,400
of fun doing it and hopefully

45
00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:28,080
show that fun to the rest of the team

46
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:29,360
and everyone else involved because there

47
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:30,800
certainly are thousands of folks

48
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:32,160
involved in the mission

49
00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:34,240
and i have a feeling i don't know we

50
00:04:37,189 --> 00:04:35,440
won't know until we get back on the

51
00:04:39,749 --> 00:04:37,199
ground and really talk to the team but i

52
00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:39,759
think we did share the fun and share the

53
00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:41,520
enthusiasm of the whole experience of

54
00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:42,880
flying in space

55
00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:44,720
and that's the way i would like this

56
00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:51,670
thank you and for uh garrett reisman

57
00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:53,520
during your spacewalk on friday we

58
00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:55,520
watched as you as and mike floated into

59
00:04:59,510 --> 00:04:57,360
atlantis's payload bay

60
00:05:01,350 --> 00:04:59,520
and on your way to the aftec windows you

61
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:01,360
climbed over the tool stowage assembly

62
00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:03,680
in which nasa has packed mementos meant

63
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:06,240
for employees and agencies partners to

64
00:05:09,749 --> 00:05:08,240
mark the shuttle program's end

65
00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:09,759
can you share what you are bringing back

66
00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:12,000
or what you choose to bring back from

67
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:14,080
this mission as your personal memento of

68
00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:16,960
your time on atlantis the sts-132

69
00:05:25,749 --> 00:05:18,160
mission and

70
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:27,830
well um let's see first of all i want to

71
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:29,440
emphasize that we didn't take anything

72
00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:31,759
out of those compartments uh on the

73
00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:33,039
payload bay

74
00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:35,280
uh we left everything right there uh but

75
00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:37,520
as far as what i'm bringing back uh you

76
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:40,320
know it's it's mostly memories is is

77
00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:43,440
really uh when i bring back memories of

78
00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:45,600
not only the spacewalking and the views

79
00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:47,840
and the sunsets and the islands we saw

80
00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:48,800
but

81
00:05:53,909 --> 00:05:51,360
just memories of all the fun we had and

82
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:53,919
uh and and and that's really the main

83
00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:56,160
thing that and photographs and video is

84
00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:57,440
that we'll be watching for the rest of

85
00:06:01,270 --> 00:05:59,759
our lives

86
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:01,280
hi this is

87
00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:03,120
the german aerospace center and space

88
00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:05,680
expo association question for a tj

89
00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:08,080
creamer what was your most challenging

90
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:10,000
task and your most exciting moment

91
00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:12,160
during your long duration mission and

92
00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:14,240
did you experience anything you didn't

93
00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:16,160
expect and what are you looking for most

94
00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:27,430
it's um what can i

95
00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:28,800
what can i share most with you i will

96
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:30,479
tell you that

97
00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:32,319
um there have been some absolutely

98
00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:34,479
astounding things like the views that

99
00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:36,720
we've

100
00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:39,280
been able to experience out the windows

101
00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:40,720
we've been able to do

102
00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:42,400
an awful lot of

103
00:06:46,150 --> 00:06:44,160
science and hard work together

104
00:06:49,189 --> 00:06:46,160
successfully but i think one of the

105
00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:49,199
things that i can honestly share

106
00:06:53,110 --> 00:06:50,960
back with you is that just the bonding

107
00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:53,120
the the the friendship the camaraderie

108
00:06:56,710 --> 00:06:55,280
that exists that when you work long

109
00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:56,720
missions together

110
00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:59,199
and and in that camaraderie is some

111
00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:00,960
absolutely

112
00:07:04,790 --> 00:07:03,599
gut-wrenching tear-producing laughter

113
00:07:06,309 --> 00:07:04,800
that we've been able to share with some

114
00:07:08,309 --> 00:07:06,319
of the senses of humor we've had up here

115
00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:08,319
and all that combined together is a very

116
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:10,639
warm memory

117
00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:11,520
thank you

118
00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:14,000
question for pier sellers this is your

119
00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:16,000
third flight as a veteran was there

120
00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:18,880
anything new for you and also you had to

121
00:07:22,950 --> 00:07:21,120
perform lots of robotics tasks was it

122
00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:22,960
more difficult or easier compared to

123
00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:31,270
well to answer the first question yes it

124
00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:32,960
was very different for me the the other

125
00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:34,639
two flights i came up the inside of

126
00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:36,560
station pretty much looked the same as

127
00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:39,280
about one-third the size it is now this

128
00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:42,720
place is now a palace it's huge and i've

129
00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:44,800
had a great fun exploring it

130
00:07:48,629 --> 00:07:46,720
um we're seeing station in pretty much

131
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:48,639
his final form and it's really

132
00:07:52,309 --> 00:07:50,240
magnificent

133
00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:52,319
as for the robotics it was wonderful i

134
00:07:55,189 --> 00:07:53,039
was

135
00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:55,199
down there in the belly turret of the of

136
00:07:59,270 --> 00:07:57,039
the station this glass dome underneath

137
00:08:00,629 --> 00:07:59,280
all day getting a suntan

138
00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:00,639
waving the arm around it was a lot of

139
00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:02,560
fun and me and tc

140
00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:09,189
this is jill tolk representing the

141
00:08:13,670 --> 00:08:11,759
cohasset mariner in massachusetts so of

142
00:08:16,390 --> 00:08:13,680
course this is for steve bowen

143
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:16,400
from your perspective on orbit right now

144
00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:18,160
what thoughts and feelings about your

145
00:08:22,629 --> 00:08:20,160
final shuttle flight and evas would you

146
00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:22,639
like to share with residents of cohasset

147
00:08:37,909 --> 00:08:36,389
well no actually i i saw cape cod which

148
00:08:40,070 --> 00:08:37,919
was kind of neat i

149
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:40,080
i'll go back pierce and i were up in the

150
00:08:43,909 --> 00:08:42,240
cupola enjoying the views the other day

151
00:08:45,829 --> 00:08:43,919
just for a few moments and we happened

152
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:45,839
to come right up over cape cod and i got

153
00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:47,120
to look down and she pointed out the

154
00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:48,720
piers where my hometown was where

155
00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:50,959
cohasset was and that was very exciting

156
00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:54,720
so as in a memory from this flight

157
00:08:57,190 --> 00:08:56,320
i'm going to you know the opportunity to

158
00:08:59,829 --> 00:08:57,200
share

159
00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:59,839
the world with my friends here onboard

160
00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:01,200
the space station

161
00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:02,800
and really no matter where you are

162
00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:04,320
you've got friends you can share with so

163
00:09:11,750 --> 00:09:09,670
thanks stevo

164
00:09:14,550 --> 00:09:11,760
as a similar follow-up question for

165
00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:14,560
either you or garrett garrett before the

166
00:09:17,829 --> 00:09:16,480
mission you talked about all the hard

167
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:17,839
work that you all were going to be doing

168
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:19,360
on this mission so you would have a

169
00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:20,880
great feeling of accomplishment

170
00:09:24,949 --> 00:09:22,800
afterwards not just a small feeling but

171
00:09:26,630 --> 00:09:24,959
a great feeling when everything got

172
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:26,640
accomplished could you all expand on

173
00:09:37,990 --> 00:09:36,470
yeah we've talked a lot about having fun

174
00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:38,000
up here but i think that the main reason

175
00:09:40,870 --> 00:09:39,600
we're all having so much fun is that

176
00:09:42,389 --> 00:09:40,880
everything uh

177
00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:42,399
went pretty smoothly on the mission and

178
00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:44,000
we accomplished all of our objectives

179
00:09:48,070 --> 00:09:45,200
and there's nothing like a little

180
00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:48,080
success to make have a really good time

181
00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:49,440
so uh

182
00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:51,839
uh yeah it was i was hoping that after

183
00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:53,920
all this hard work not just obviously by

184
00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:55,360
us but more importantly by all the

185
00:09:59,350 --> 00:09:56,800
people on the ground

186
00:10:02,150 --> 00:09:59,360
uh that made it all possible and worked

187
00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:02,160
out all the engineering details uh we

188
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:05,040
had a lot of success and and that's

189
00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:06,880
something that was uh that's what i was

190
00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:08,480
talking about before

191
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:09,760
that i was hoping to have this feeling

192
00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:15,509
this is peter railwood from southern fm

193
00:10:20,069 --> 00:10:17,680
in australia my question is for each of

194
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:20,079
the crew members of atlantis and any of

195
00:10:24,310 --> 00:10:22,160
the others who would like to contribute

196
00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:24,320
if it were exclusively up to you which

197
00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:26,240
city or town would you select to be the

198
00:10:37,430 --> 00:10:28,480
final location for public display of

199
00:10:42,949 --> 00:10:39,110
that's a great question i'm glad

200
00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:45,110
that's uh that's not for us to decide

201
00:10:50,389 --> 00:10:47,279
unless unless i get to pick and then it

202
00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:50,399
would be in my in my backyard

203
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:52,000
i get plenty of letters from my

204
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,240
homeowners association about leaving my

205
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:56,399
garbage can out and not keeping my grass

206
00:10:59,350 --> 00:10:57,600
trimmed but

207
00:11:00,630 --> 00:10:59,360
that would if i got atlantis parked in

208
00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:00,640
my backyard that'd make all those

209
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:09,030
thank you um this is the question for

210
00:11:10,949 --> 00:11:09,839
the

211
00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:10,959
anyone

212
00:11:14,949 --> 00:11:13,120
for the members of the iss crew we've

213
00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:14,959
all had the experience of packing for a

214
00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:17,519
long trip and only to get there

215
00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:19,200
and realize that you've forgotten

216
00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:21,680
something large or small that you would

217
00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:23,200
really have loved to bought with you

218
00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:24,800
have any of you had the experience on

219
00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:36,710
i forgot to bring

220
00:11:40,310 --> 00:11:37,839
sweats

221
00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:40,320
something to keep me warm other than the

222
00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:42,480
work pants that i have every day

223
00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:43,360
but

224
00:11:48,310 --> 00:11:46,160
i'd have to say that you're

225
00:11:50,470 --> 00:11:48,320
you're taken care of very well up here

226
00:11:52,069 --> 00:11:50,480
we have so many people that are looking

227
00:11:54,389 --> 00:11:52,079
out for us on the ground to make sure

228
00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:54,399
that not only are we accomplishing our

229
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:55,760
mission and

230
00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:57,519
being able to take care of this place

231
00:12:01,350 --> 00:11:59,040
but that we're taking care of ourselves

232
00:12:04,069 --> 00:12:01,360
too because this really is our home away

233
00:12:05,910 --> 00:12:04,079
from home so i wouldn't say that we're

234
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:05,920
missing too many things up here except

235
00:12:14,710 --> 00:12:12,310
uh mark caro for aviation week i have a

236
00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:14,720
question for pierce and garrett

237
00:12:18,550 --> 00:12:16,399
both of you have flown

238
00:12:20,629 --> 00:12:18,560
to the space station in the past in in

239
00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:20,639
different capacities

240
00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:22,839
i wonder if you can draw from that

241
00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:25,680
perspective and what you have seen about

242
00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:28,480
the earth on this mission and tell us if

243
00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:31,040
you have any impressions

244
00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:34,639
that seem remarkable or memorable from

245
00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:41,829
i'll give you the short answer before i

246
00:12:44,550 --> 00:12:43,600
hand over to garrett for the long answer

247
00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:44,560
now

248
00:12:51,829 --> 00:12:49,440
sitting in the cupola for hours

249
00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:51,839
is really how small the world is you go

250
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:54,320
around it in one and a half hours but

251
00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:56,320
you can recognize fields

252
00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:57,440
roads

253
00:13:01,190 --> 00:12:59,519
city blocks down there so as we live in

254
00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:01,200
quite a small planet that really brought

255
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:22,710
and i agree with piers

256
00:13:27,030 --> 00:13:25,269
atlantis iss this is houston acr that

257
00:13:29,030 --> 00:13:27,040
concludes questions from the johnson

258
00:13:33,269 --> 00:13:29,040
space center please stand by for a voice

259
00:13:40,470 --> 00:13:36,389
atlantis iss this is kennedy pao how do

260
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,430

262
00:13:51,670 --> 00:13:50,000
associated press for commander kotov

263
00:13:53,670 --> 00:13:51,680
and any of the other station crew you

264
00:13:55,670 --> 00:13:53,680
mentioned the other day how scary the

265
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:55,680
oil spill looked in the gulf of mexico

266
00:13:58,710 --> 00:13:56,880
and i'm wondering

267
00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:58,720
could you describe it

268
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:00,639
what what does it look like does it look

269
00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:04,320
like a brown stain against blue water or

270
00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:12,069
okay masha good to talk to you yeah the

271
00:14:17,509 --> 00:14:14,800
oil spill we are watching from above

272
00:14:21,670 --> 00:14:17,519
every day and it's kind of sad to see

273
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:21,680
the beautiful seas kind of tinted and uh

274
00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:25,040
these days the the stain kind of spread

275
00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:26,880
around to the south and i heard it's

276
00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:29,440
going to migrate to the atlantic side

277
00:14:35,829 --> 00:14:31,920
but we're just hoping the quick recovery

278
00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:39,030

00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:49,680
access to social media from the space

284
00:14:56,790 --> 00:14:50,880

just want to share the view so i'm

301
00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:35,040
really happy to have a chance to share

302
00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:36,480
the nice

303
00:15:46,629 --> 00:15:44,470
um and uh one more question for

304
00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:46,639
commander ham you you mentioned that um

305
00:15:52,150 --> 00:15:49,199
how much fun you've been having what

306
00:15:59,030 --> 00:15:52,160
was the most fun that you as all 12

307
00:16:03,509 --> 00:16:01,030
well marsha i probably can't reveal some

308
00:16:04,389 --> 00:16:03,519
of the the best fun that we had up here

309
00:16:07,509 --> 00:16:04,399
uh

310
00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:07,519
might have mentioned it earlier it's

311
00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:09,519
it's spending time with this group of

312
00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:11,920
people and it's all 12 of us uh we've

313
00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:13,600
bonded up here in space which is an

314
00:16:17,829 --> 00:16:16,399
interesting experience and uh i think

315
00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:17,839
part of that comes from working really

316
00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:20,160
hard and then having pride in your own

317
00:16:25,030 --> 00:16:22,639
success sort of sets up the human

318
00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:25,040
emotion for being happy and being happy

319
00:16:28,389 --> 00:16:27,199
together and uh

320
00:16:30,069 --> 00:16:28,399
and i

321
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:30,079
there are some senses of humor on this

322
00:16:35,990 --> 00:16:32,560
crew that are that are

323
00:16:41,749 --> 00:16:36,000
excellent to say to be kind i guess

324
00:16:46,389 --> 00:16:44,710
hi guys it's bill harwood cbs news one

325
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:46,399
for tj just to follow up an earlier

326
00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:48,240
question what are you looking forward to

327
00:16:50,790 --> 00:16:49,600
what are you going to miss

328
00:16:55,110 --> 00:16:50,800
and what are you looking forward to when

329
00:16:58,069 --> 00:16:56,470
well what am i gonna miss is probably be

330
00:17:00,310 --> 00:16:58,079
easy it's uh

331
00:17:02,389 --> 00:17:00,320
we've been up here five-ish months and

332
00:17:04,150 --> 00:17:02,399
you know right right now you kind of go

333
00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:04,160
i'm finally getting the hang of this and

334
00:17:07,189 --> 00:17:05,360
it's kind of

335
00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:07,199
sad to be departing that operational

336
00:17:10,949 --> 00:17:09,439
world that i i so enjoy and love as well

337
00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:10,959
as just the camaraderie that we share

338
00:17:14,150 --> 00:17:12,640
with our crewmates

339
00:17:15,829 --> 00:17:14,160
what i'm looking forward to of course is

340
00:17:17,110 --> 00:17:15,839
getting back together with family and

341
00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:17,120
friends

342
00:17:20,230 --> 00:17:18,720
specifically though

343
00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:20,240
i really like to drink something not

344
00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:22,160
through a straw and have the food stay

345
00:17:30,470 --> 00:17:29,029
i can understand that one quick one for

346
00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:30,480
commander kotov

347
00:17:34,870 --> 00:17:32,320
can you give us a

348
00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:34,880
snapshot of how is rossvet doing uh you

349
00:17:38,310 --> 00:17:36,080
mentioned some shavings the other day

350
00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:38,320
i'm assuming that's filtered out by now

351
00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:40,080
maybe give us your impressions as

352
00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:47,350

353
00:17:50,630 --> 00:17:48,400
that's

354
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:50,640
the new module russviet looks really

355
00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:51,520
really

356
00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:54,720

00:18:01,270 --> 00:17:57,760
cargo that's atlantis uh brought up with

358
00:18:03,909 --> 00:18:01,280

unload that this module but

360
00:18:08,310 --> 00:18:05,360
in any case it's

361
00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:08,320
it's excellent excellent extra volume

362
00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:10,320
and especially this

363
00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:13,120
module is designed specifically to be a

00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:15,120
russian science laboratory

365
00:18:19,510 --> 00:18:17,840

00:19:01,909 --> 00:18:59,190
really loud and clear

375
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:01,919
hi robert perlman with collectspace.com

376
00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:04,320
and space.com once more with a question

377
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:05,919
from mike good

378
00:19:10,230 --> 00:19:07,760
you entered space on the anniversary of

379
00:19:12,070 --> 00:19:10,240
the last saturn 5 launch which was also

380
00:19:13,669 --> 00:19:12,080
the liftoff of the first u.s space

381
00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:13,679
station skylab

382
00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:15,360
that somewhat parallels your own and

383
00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:18,240
your crewmates flights which is planned

384
00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:20,080
as the last for atlantis but it is one

385
00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:22,080
of the last of the shuttle program

386
00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:23,440
and now you're flying when the

387
00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:25,120
international space station's assembly

388
00:19:28,549 --> 00:19:26,320
is nearly complete and science

389
00:19:30,710 --> 00:19:28,559
operations are about to begin

390
00:19:32,310 --> 00:19:30,720
so as your mission comes to a conclusion

391
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:32,320
can you share if this feels more like

392
00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:34,400
the beginning of an end or the end of a

393
00:19:44,549 --> 00:19:42,549
oh great question um

394
00:19:47,029 --> 00:19:44,559
it's definitely the uh the beginning of

395
00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:47,039
the end here for the shuttle program

396
00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:49,520
and i think as uh

397
00:19:52,950 --> 00:19:51,760
our commander ken ham put it so

398
00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:52,960
eloquently yesterday when we were

399
00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:55,120
talking with some of the kids

400
00:19:58,310 --> 00:19:56,400
that that

401
00:20:00,470 --> 00:19:58,320
unfortunately this is uh necessary for

402
00:20:02,950 --> 00:20:00,480
us to move on you know the shuttle's a

403
00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:02,960
incredible vehicle uh

404
00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:05,360
you know it has a payload bay it has an

405
00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:07,280
air lock so we can go out and do

406
00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:10,000
space walks it has a robotic arm has an

407
00:20:15,430 --> 00:20:12,240
unbelievable capability but it is

408
00:20:17,590 --> 00:20:15,440
limited to low earth orbit and so as we

409
00:20:20,230 --> 00:20:17,600
continue to dream to explore further out

410
00:20:21,909 --> 00:20:20,240
into the solar system and to go further

411
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:21,919
we're going to need to

412
00:20:25,750 --> 00:20:24,320
go on to a new vehicle and uh

413
00:20:27,909 --> 00:20:25,760
unfortunately the space shuttle is not

414
00:20:30,549 --> 00:20:27,919
that vehicle so we'll say good goodbye

415
00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:30,559
to the space shuttle and look forward to

416
00:20:41,270 --> 00:20:38,070
this is jill tulk with the cohasset

417
00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:41,280
marinura follow-up question for stevo

418
00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:43,280
the last time you were on orbit there

419
00:20:48,149 --> 00:20:45,600
wasn't the cupola of course

420
00:20:49,190 --> 00:20:48,159
could you describe for me the view or

421
00:20:59,669 --> 00:20:49,200
your

422
00:21:04,710 --> 00:21:01,909
yeah the cupola is an amazing facility

423
00:21:07,590 --> 00:21:04,720
and really i think piers and

424
00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:07,600
tracy and garrett proved its value with

425
00:21:11,909 --> 00:21:09,919
the robotic operations which is the real

426
00:21:13,190 --> 00:21:11,919
purpose for its existence if they've

427
00:21:15,990 --> 00:21:13,200
been up here a little bit early probably

428
00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:16,000
get a lot more use out of it but uh for

429
00:21:20,149 --> 00:21:18,240
those of us that aren't doing robotics

430
00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:20,159
it's just the most amazing place to sit

431
00:21:23,190 --> 00:21:22,080
and watch the world go by

432
00:21:24,789 --> 00:21:23,200
and uh

433
00:21:25,830 --> 00:21:24,799
you know it's an opportunity to look

434
00:21:27,029 --> 00:21:25,840
down and

435
00:22:03,430 --> 00:21:27,039
see what the world looks like and

436
00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:05,430
the coast

437
00:22:09,909 --> 00:22:07,200
of france

438
00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:09,919
just to the north of bordeaux

439
00:22:13,270 --> 00:22:11,280
as

440
00:22:15,990 --> 00:22:13,280
the space station and space shuttle

441
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:16,000
track easterly across the central

442
00:22:49,350 --> 00:22:18,080
portions of

443
00:23:00,070 --> 00:22:50,710
and we're ready too we're watching

444
00:23:04,549 --> 00:23:01,510
and uh

445
00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:04,559
this is a time when we we have

446
00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:07,280
a goodbye our friends our colleagues the

447
00:23:11,430 --> 00:23:10,320
actual crew of her struggle atlantis

448
00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:11,440
that

449
00:23:16,149 --> 00:23:14,320
her did an excellent job

450
00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:16,159
performing free evas

451
00:23:19,350 --> 00:23:17,440
installing

452
00:23:23,510 --> 00:23:19,360
the new russian module

453
00:23:26,950 --> 00:23:23,520
and just having the fun enjoying

454
00:23:28,230 --> 00:23:26,960
the living station and working in space

455
00:23:29,510 --> 00:23:28,240
and they

456
00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:29,520
show

457
00:23:33,029 --> 00:23:30,480
that

458
00:23:34,549 --> 00:23:33,039
good example of friendship

459
00:23:36,870 --> 00:23:34,559
professionalism

460
00:23:39,350 --> 00:23:36,880
and classic that's just in their

461
00:23:41,830 --> 00:23:39,360
behavior

462
00:23:44,230 --> 00:23:41,840
so it's really

463
00:23:45,590 --> 00:23:44,240
good bye bye it's time to

464
00:23:47,830 --> 00:23:45,600
departure

465
00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:47,840
so again thank you thank you ken thank

466
00:23:53,909 --> 00:23:51,039
you all for uh thank you for excellent

467
00:23:56,549 --> 00:23:53,919
job for your

468
00:23:59,029 --> 00:23:56,559
patience for your

469
00:24:00,230 --> 00:23:59,039
work for everything

470
00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:00,240
we enjoy

471
00:24:20,149 --> 00:24:17,750
like we are one happy shuttle crew and

472
00:24:21,269 --> 00:24:20,159
we are happy because of all of your

473
00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:21,279
effort too

474
00:24:25,190 --> 00:24:22,880
i think through our entire dock time

475
00:24:26,789 --> 00:24:25,200
frame here we were a 12-person crew that

476
00:24:28,630 --> 00:24:26,799
operated together

477
00:24:31,029 --> 00:24:28,640
and that was the only way that we got

478
00:24:32,710 --> 00:24:31,039
everything done and got mrm installed

479
00:24:33,510 --> 00:24:32,720
and got the ebas done

480
00:24:36,710 --> 00:24:33,520
so

481
00:24:39,190 --> 00:24:36,720
we are happy but this one is to

482
00:24:40,149 --> 00:24:39,200
friends we're going to leave behind

483
00:24:41,830 --> 00:24:40,159
and

484
00:24:43,669 --> 00:24:41,840
new friends that we've made close

485
00:24:47,190 --> 00:24:43,679
friends my friend

486
00:24:48,789 --> 00:24:47,200
we've had a great time together and tj

487
00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:48,799
will be home soon two weeks you'll be

488
00:24:54,230 --> 00:24:50,000
home soon

489
00:24:58,310 --> 00:24:56,230
all righty we're going to close the hat

490
00:24:59,750 --> 00:24:58,320
shortly and we're going to depart and of

491
00:25:02,070 --> 00:24:59,760
course as always it'll be a little bit

492
00:26:00,310 --> 00:25:02,080
sad but we'll see you all on the surface

493
00:26:03,350 --> 00:26:01,750
once again this is a view from inside

494
00:26:05,990 --> 00:26:03,360
the orbited docking orbiter docking

495
00:26:07,510 --> 00:26:06,000
system ring inside atlantis

496
00:26:09,029 --> 00:26:07,520
payload bay that is connected to the

497
00:26:11,830 --> 00:26:09,039
station at this point in time you will

498
00:26:13,430 --> 00:26:11,840
see the image change every few seconds

499
00:26:15,510 --> 00:26:13,440
this is because we're getting sequential

500
00:26:17,990 --> 00:26:15,520
still video which is a low data rate

501
00:26:19,669 --> 00:26:18,000
video it just changes every

502
00:26:22,070 --> 00:26:19,679
couple of seconds

503
00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:22,080
but it does indeed give us a view of the

504
00:26:25,510 --> 00:26:23,760
undocking coming up in about three

505
00:26:27,350 --> 00:26:25,520
minutes

506
00:26:29,990 --> 00:26:27,360
atlanta is now bidding farewell to the

507
00:26:32,230 --> 00:26:30,000
international space station this shuttle

508
00:26:33,750 --> 00:26:32,240
has served as an important

509
00:26:35,350 --> 00:26:33,760
tool in the construction and the

510
00:26:37,750 --> 00:26:35,360
assembly sequence of the international

511
00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:37,760
space station atlantis delivered the u.s

512
00:26:42,789 --> 00:26:40,080
destiny laboratory back in 2001 also the

513
00:26:44,630 --> 00:26:42,799
quest airlock in that same year

514
00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:44,640
it has delivered several of the trust

515
00:26:48,549 --> 00:26:46,240
segments of the station

516
00:26:50,310 --> 00:26:48,559
the columbus laboratory

517
00:26:52,149 --> 00:26:50,320
and of course the ross fed module the

518
00:26:53,830 --> 00:26:52,159
brand new piece that it delivered on

519
00:26:55,190 --> 00:26:53,840
this mission

520
00:26:56,549 --> 00:26:55,200
five feet away from the station you're

521
00:26:58,230 --> 00:26:56,559
getting a good view of pressurized

522
00:26:59,510 --> 00:26:58,240
mating adapter number two there that is

523
00:27:00,950 --> 00:26:59,520
the center

524
00:27:02,789 --> 00:27:00,960
dark section there on the end of the

525
00:27:26,950 --> 00:27:02,799
harmony node

526
00:27:31,669 --> 00:27:29,269
the shuttle is now 506 feet away from

527
00:27:33,470 --> 00:27:31,679
the international space station

528
00:27:35,750 --> 00:27:33,480
this fly around is continuing with

529
00:27:49,750 --> 00:27:35,760
sts-132 pilot tony antonelli at the

530
00:27:53,909 --> 00:27:51,430
antonelli is uh

531
00:27:55,750 --> 00:27:53,919
flying atlantis

532
00:27:57,830 --> 00:27:55,760
up over the first quadrant of this

533
00:28:00,630 --> 00:27:57,840
entire circle that uh he will steer

534
00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:02,470
he's completed about the first 40

535
00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:08,789
it's a view from inside atlantis orbiter

536
00:28:12,630 --> 00:28:11,200
docking system looking back at

537
00:28:16,549 --> 00:28:12,640
the former home of the shuttle

538
00:28:18,070 --> 00:28:16,559
pressurized mating adapter number two

539
00:28:20,149 --> 00:28:18,080
there on the left you can see the

540
00:28:22,070 --> 00:28:20,159
columbus laboratory there on the right

541
00:28:28,630 --> 00:28:22,080
very obvious is the kibo laboratory with

542
00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:30,710
there's a view of atlantis with its open

543
00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:32,480
payload bay doors down inside is the

544
00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:34,320
integrated cargo carrier

545
00:28:37,909 --> 00:28:36,000
the only piece that atlantis is bringing

546
00:28:39,590 --> 00:28:37,919
back home the old batteries that the

547
00:28:41,269 --> 00:28:39,600
crew swapped out during

548
00:28:44,149 --> 00:28:41,279
two of the spacewalks of this mission

549
00:28:45,909 --> 00:28:44,159
are on the backside of it

550
00:28:47,909 --> 00:28:45,919
the robotic arm there extended out over

551
00:28:49,590 --> 00:28:47,919
atlantis's left side with the orbiter

552
00:28:51,269 --> 00:28:49,600
boom sensor system

553
00:29:03,669 --> 00:28:51,279
still attached to it crossed back over

554
00:29:07,430 --> 00:29:05,750
the pacific ocean down underneath both

555
00:29:12,230 --> 00:29:07,440
atlantis and the station at this point

556
00:29:14,070 --> 00:29:12,240
in time the two vehicles are 212 miles

557
00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:14,080
continuing to pass to the northeast

558
00:29:22,549 --> 00:29:15,600
they're approaching the western edge of

559
00:29:26,870 --> 00:29:24,710
there you can see the progress

560
00:29:28,310 --> 00:29:26,880
37

561
00:29:31,430 --> 00:29:28,320
that is currently docked with the piers

562
00:29:35,430 --> 00:29:33,510
at the very back toward the lower center

563
00:29:38,549 --> 00:29:35,440
part of your screen you can see the

564
00:29:40,230 --> 00:29:38,559
soyuz tma-17

565
00:29:42,070 --> 00:29:40,240
and then there on the right is the brand

566
00:29:43,430 --> 00:29:42,080
new rossvet module which is now attached

567
00:29:45,029 --> 00:29:43,440
to zarya

568
00:29:46,230 --> 00:29:45,039
that of course came up with atlantis

569
00:29:48,470 --> 00:29:46,240
during this mission and the crew

570
00:29:49,510 --> 00:29:48,480
installed it

571
00:29:56,549 --> 00:29:49,520
as they were docked with the

572
00:29:59,909 --> 00:29:57,909
there you can see the entire

573
00:30:01,750 --> 00:29:59,919
international space station complex

574
00:30:03,669 --> 00:30:01,760
there if you look at the top

575
00:30:34,470 --> 00:30:03,679
atlanta is currently casting a shadow on

576
00:30:39,950 --> 00:30:36,389
the team here confirming that the fly

577
00:30:46,950 --> 00:30:42,630
sts-132 pilot tony antonelli now at the

578
00:30:51,669 --> 00:30:49,269
he will begin to fly atlantis around the

579
00:30:53,909 --> 00:30:51,679
entire circle of the international space

580
00:30:56,389 --> 00:30:53,919
station the two vehicles

581
00:30:58,070 --> 00:30:56,399
are currently out over the pacific ocean

582
00:31:00,389 --> 00:30:58,080
they are bearing down on the western

583
00:31:01,590 --> 00:31:00,399
edge of mexico here in a few minutes

584
00:31:17,029 --> 00:31:01,600
and they'll be crossing over north

585
00:31:21,350 --> 00:31:18,310
space shuttle atlantis and the

586
00:31:23,470 --> 00:31:21,360
international space station they're

587
00:31:28,149 --> 00:31:23,480
staring each other down at a distance of

588
00:31:32,230 --> 00:31:30,389
once again pilot tony antonelli at the

589
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:32,240
controls of atlantis beginning this fly

590
00:31:37,509 --> 00:31:34,320
around procedure

591
00:31:39,269 --> 00:31:37,519
the first rays of sunshine there

592
00:31:41,190 --> 00:31:39,279
hitting the upper atmosphere of the

593
00:31:59,990 --> 00:31:41,200
earth as the station and the shuttle

594
00:32:02,630 --> 00:32:01,269
if you look very closely you can see

595
00:32:04,549 --> 00:32:02,640
some of the jets

596
00:32:08,950 --> 00:32:04,559
at the back of atlantis

597
00:32:13,669 --> 00:32:12,230
if this sts-132 fly does indeed turn out

598
00:32:15,110 --> 00:32:13,679
to be atlantis's

599
00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:15,120
final mission

600
00:32:19,350 --> 00:32:16,640
this will be the last time that we

601
00:32:21,430 --> 00:32:19,360
actually get to see a full shot of the

602
00:32:30,149 --> 00:32:21,440
shuttle up in space from the space

603
00:32:34,230 --> 00:32:32,070
atlanta is now outside of 600 feet away

604
00:32:36,470 --> 00:32:34,240
from the station this

605
00:32:39,190 --> 00:32:36,480
360 degree maneuver

606
00:32:46,950 --> 00:32:39,200
with sts-132 pilot tony antonelli at the

607
00:32:50,070 --> 00:32:48,310
this is mission control houston the

608
00:32:51,269 --> 00:32:50,080
western edge of mexico coming into view

609
00:32:54,149 --> 00:32:51,279
now

610
00:32:55,750 --> 00:32:54,159
the station in the shuttle 213 miles

611
00:32:57,590 --> 00:32:55,760
above the earth they're passing directly

612
00:33:01,830 --> 00:32:57,600
in between mazatlan

613
00:33:39,590 --> 00:33:04,950
it's a fairly cloudless day there

614
00:33:46,230 --> 00:33:41,830
and land is now 650 feet away from the

615
00:33:52,310 --> 00:33:48,070
a shuttle passing over the russian

616
00:33:58,630 --> 00:33:54,870
the two spacecraft just crossing the uh

617
00:34:04,830 --> 00:34:01,350
passing over the cities of uvalde

618
00:34:10,470 --> 00:34:07,669
colleen it'll go over corsicana right

619
00:34:11,750 --> 00:34:10,480
there on interstate 45

620
00:35:22,069 --> 00:34:11,760
and then cross right in the middle of

621
00:35:26,390 --> 00:35:24,230
now 684 feet away from the station

622
00:35:28,870 --> 00:35:26,400
atlantis continuing to perform this fly

623
00:35:31,190 --> 00:35:28,880
