hi I'm Mike Massimino for the past few

2
00:00:07,909 --> 00:00:05,609
shuttle flights we've taken you behind

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:07,919
the scenes to meet the crews as they

4
00:00:11,299 --> 00:00:09,570
train for their flights and the people

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:11,309
around the country who make those

6
00:00:15,230 --> 00:00:13,290
missions fly but there's a lot of

7
00:00:16,939 --> 00:00:15,240
footage that we haven't shown you yet so

8
00:00:18,890 --> 00:00:16,949

64
00:02:32,690 --> 00:02:30,750
launch pad any special books or stuff

65
00:02:36,010 --> 00:02:32,700
like that that I will be out the launch

66
00:02:37,510 --> 00:02:36,020
pad few hours before George and the crew

67
00:02:40,510 --> 00:02:37,520
all right with the rest of the clothes

68
00:02:42,610 --> 00:02:40,520
out right and I'll put things where they

69
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:42,620
need to be set the orbiter up with all

70
00:02:47,380 --> 00:02:45,710
the pure ions that they want okay so

71
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:47,390
you're gonna go out there and set it up

72
00:02:51,850 --> 00:02:49,130
Mike but George will take care of the

73
00:02:53,410 --> 00:02:51,860
guys still and it may said the crew now

74
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:53,420
the rest of the crew actually is trying

75
00:02:56,950 --> 00:02:55,850
to taunt us behind the camera right over

76
00:03:00,490 --> 00:02:56,960
there is the rest of the crew is over

77
00:03:02,530 --> 00:03:00,500
here right over you think all these guys

78
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:02,540
so this is your whole team yes and

79
00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,560
you're gonna be down at the Cape

80
00:03:07,870 --> 00:03:05,360
supporting okay so then the crew comes

81
00:03:10,690 --> 00:03:07,880
out there right and there's nobody

82
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:10,700
around the space shuttle any I mean when

83
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:12,110
we go there other days and there's no

84
00:03:16,210 --> 00:03:13,250
fuel inside of it

85
00:03:18,970 --> 00:03:16,220
it's knows lots of people but on launch

86
00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:18,980
day its fuel and is not very many people

87
00:03:26,980 --> 00:03:23,990
there oh no no is it because it's

88
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:26,990
dangerous because now you've got fuel

89
00:03:30,570 --> 00:03:28,970
it's a bit of spaceship and they don't

90
00:03:32,890 --> 00:03:30,580
but they have you guys out there oh

91
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:32,900
you're over there you're the crew so you

92
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:34,370
ever think maybe maybe this ain't so

93
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:35,930
smart to be out here and that's because

94
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:37,010
there's nobody else there that's the

95
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:40,430
thing that struck me wrong idea I expect

96
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:41,450
the crew they're going to walk around

97
00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:42,890
the view but they want to see it while

98
00:04:01,660 --> 00:03:54,730
who gets out there they see the look at

99
00:04:03,850 --> 00:04:01,670
it yeah yes pretty that's pretty cool

100
00:04:06,370 --> 00:04:03,860
yeah I did it the first time I was

101
00:04:07,810 --> 00:04:06,380
actually was was it was a little scary

102
00:04:09,220 --> 00:04:07,820
looking at that thing that first but the

103
00:04:10,930 --> 00:04:09,230
second time I enjoy I have to say I

104
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:10,940
really did enjoy it much as my second I

105
00:04:15,310 --> 00:04:13,250
knew what to expect it was it was more

106
00:04:16,930 --> 00:04:15,320
fun a second time yeah it's pretty cool

107
00:04:19,330 --> 00:04:16,940
looking at that thing cuz it's making

108
00:04:21,580 --> 00:04:19,340
noises and it's smoke is coming off of

109
00:04:23,170 --> 00:04:21,590
it and stuff you know the burn off or

110
00:04:25,450 --> 00:04:23,180
whatever's happened and that thing looks

111
00:04:28,659 --> 00:04:25,460
like it's alive it's like a beast it is

112
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:28,669
alive and if you go inside of it and and

113
00:04:32,260 --> 00:04:30,530
get to go in here on your trip so you're

114
00:04:33,490 --> 00:04:32,270
gonna lock those guys in but I thought

115
00:04:35,140 --> 00:04:33,500
since when you saying it if there's a

116
00:04:37,090 --> 00:04:35,150
problem you're gonna go back in so you

117
00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:37,100
stay where do you guys go you let you

118
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:40,400
close the hatch right you could be you

119
00:04:45,629 --> 00:04:42,710
who closed the hatch and lock see other

120
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:45,639
members on the closeout crew

121
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:47,310
everybody's numbers so the number five

122
00:04:52,350 --> 00:04:50,650
right number for those guys are hashtags

123
00:04:54,029 --> 00:04:52,360
orbiter text sorry they're gonna close

124
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:54,039
and lock the head so they're killers and

125
00:04:58,890 --> 00:04:55,810
I our responsibilities is to go inside

126
00:05:01,379 --> 00:04:58,900
the orbiter and get the crew inserted in

127
00:05:03,119 --> 00:05:01,389
a vehicle and strapped in well you guys

128
00:05:04,739 --> 00:05:03,129

was only a shoe so my environmental is

161
00:06:50,530 --> 00:06:48,920
only a physiology world for used to do

162
00:07:03,580 --> 00:06:50,540
the combat training go out to the field

163
00:07:05,980 --> 00:07:03,590
and I had to stop stabilize them and go

164
00:07:09,130 --> 00:07:05,990
back to them but you helped out lots of

165
00:07:11,260 --> 00:07:09,140
guys and you help us out get ready to go

166
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:11,270
pianist our classes what we need to do

167
00:07:15,250 --> 00:07:13,310
to keep ourselves healthy right we can

168
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:15,260
do I like the airplane all that stuff

169
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:16,880
and you give us a lot of good training

170
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:18,290
and they need to check us out here you

171
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:19,370
do lots of stuff to make sure we don't

172
00:07:33,370 --> 00:07:21,770
get hurt what we're doing all this crazy

173
00:07:35,410 --> 00:07:33,380
stuff on the gym with you do any other

174
00:07:37,690 --> 00:07:35,420
state drove us to basically I started

175
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:37,700
out in the Navy and then a hospital

176
00:07:41,230 --> 00:07:39,890
corpsman as a physiology ignition

177
00:07:42,790 --> 00:07:41,240
specialized so it's kinda interesting I

178
00:07:44,830 --> 00:07:42,800
work with chambers and work reporters

179
00:07:46,810 --> 00:07:44,840
Pablo maybe so now I'm doing the same

180
00:07:48,850 --> 00:07:46,820
thing but chambers go higher than pools

181
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:48,860
deeper wells over there again it's the

182
