1
00:00:06,309 --> 00:00:04,630
hi i'm mike massimino for the past few

2
00:00:08,549 --> 00:00:06,319
shuttle flights we've taken you behind

3
00:00:10,150 --> 00:00:08,559
the scenes to meet the crews as they

4
00:00:11,990 --> 00:00:10,160
train for their flights and the people

5
00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:12,000
around the country who make those

6
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:13,920
missions fly but there's a lot of

7
00:00:17,510 --> 00:00:15,759
footage that we haven't shown you yet so

8
00:00:19,590 --> 00:00:17,520
we'd like to take you back to some of

9
00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:19,600
our recent flights and introduce you to

10
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:21,520
more of the people who do everything at

11
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:24,560
nasa we hope you enjoy this episode of

12
00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:37,590
so you've hung up their clothes their

13
00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:39,280
spacesuits here they are

14
00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:40,640
all seven of them you can see with the

15
00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:42,239
flags on the left side including the

16
00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:44,559
japanese flag from naoko so we have six

17
00:00:48,389 --> 00:00:46,079
americans and naoki this is the pilot

18
00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:48,399
for the mission this is jimmy

19
00:00:52,709 --> 00:00:50,239
this is his actual

20
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:52,719
this is the actual suit he will fly in

21
00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:54,879
and it has been prepped and leak checked

22
00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:57,120
in houston and then after we arrive here

23
00:01:01,990 --> 00:00:59,359
we do another leak check here

24
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:02,000
and then uh on fit check day jen gets in

25
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:03,760
the suit and he makes sure it fits when

26
00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:05,760
was that that was on

27
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:08,720
that was last night last night okay yeah

28
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:10,960
for jim because in addition to the fit

29
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:13,360
checks jim and commander

30
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:14,880
alan poindexter they have the

31
00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:16,400
opportunity to fly

32
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:19,280
uh sta flights which simulate the

33
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:20,880
landing approach that they will do on

34
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,640
the actual shuttle training aircraft

35
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:24,400
right so they get to train

36
00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:26,720
um in in their actions

37
00:01:30,069 --> 00:01:27,920
hardware all right so you had to suit

38
00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:30,079
him up yesterday last night and he went

39
00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:31,920
out to the airplane and flew practice

40
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:33,840
approaches correct wearing all this

41
00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:36,000
stuff correct because that's what i mean

42
00:01:39,749 --> 00:01:37,759
it's a lot different wearing that than

43
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:39,759
wearing your flight suit right right so

44
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:41,040
we get the

45
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:42,720
makes the training more realistic and

46
00:01:46,389 --> 00:01:44,720
then makes it most beneficial yeah

47
00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:46,399
having the helmet on to restrict their

48
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:48,240
what they can see and the gloves on this

49
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:50,479
hand to on the controller and all that

50
00:01:54,069 --> 00:01:53,040
damn go on oxygen supply the whole bit

51
00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:54,079
just like they're going to do on the

52
00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:55,840
shuttle just all right

53
00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:58,399
this is the pilot's actual

54
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:00,079
flight

55
00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:02,320
helmet this is the real helmet this is

56
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:03,920
not the ones we practice with in houston

57
00:02:09,270 --> 00:02:06,240
correct this is the one that is actually

58
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:09,280
going to fly away although for training

59
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:11,760
purposes we install uh a training

60
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:13,920
sunshade just to keep protect the the

61
00:02:18,229 --> 00:02:15,280
clear visor we're going to want to

62
00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:18,239
scratch the clear visor

63
00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:20,640
so on flight day we will remove this

64
00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:24,239
sunshade install a brand new sunshade

65
00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:27,920
but the but the helmet itself is um

66
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:30,080
is just as you see it here it will fly

67
00:02:34,309 --> 00:02:31,200
in space

68
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:34,319
all right the real thing

69
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:37,200
these are his actual flight gloves

70
00:02:42,309 --> 00:02:39,440
they've already been leak tested

71
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:42,319
and he wore them last night on his uh in

72
00:02:46,150 --> 00:02:43,200
his

73
00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:46,160
flight training sta

74
00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:48,080
and this is his comb cap which is worn

75
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:50,319
inside the helmet this is it contains

76
00:02:54,790 --> 00:02:53,040
the microphones and earphones that

77
00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:54,800
he will use to fly

78
00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:56,879
uh on launch today

79
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:58,879
all real stuff now one the one

80
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:01,280
interesting thing here uh ray we've seen

81
00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:03,040
this other times too is that each crew

82
00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:05,680
member has a color

83
00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:08,159
so we know it's his stuff and so jim

84
00:03:10,869 --> 00:03:10,080
being the pilot right john is going to

85
00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:10,879
be

86
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:15,360
has yellow on it

87
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:17,120
his gloves have a yellow marker

88
00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:18,720
somewhere there you go right here and

89
00:03:22,229 --> 00:03:20,959
his helmet

90
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:22,239
also has there you go

91
00:03:25,670 --> 00:03:23,760
for the color blind it also has the

92
00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:25,680
letter b on the helmet right

93
00:03:28,869 --> 00:03:27,040
you see that as the letter b which means

94
00:03:30,869 --> 00:03:28,879
he's the second guy so

95
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:30,879
dex the commander is a and then jimmy's

96
00:03:35,509 --> 00:03:33,680
b and yes and then so on and so forth so

97
00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:35,519
this is the harness that they they will

98
00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:37,599
wear on flight day this is the actual

99
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:40,080
flight item that they will wear

100
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:42,319
uh it has their parachute harness that

101
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:43,840
they will connect to their parachute

102
00:03:47,589 --> 00:03:45,280
this is dotty stuff i see because it's

103
00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:47,599
green right and she's the ms2 all right

104
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:48,560
all right

105
00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:49,440
okay

106
00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:51,519
and uh she was saying the parachute is

107
00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:52,959
in the orbiter

108
00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:54,560
the actual flight parachutes are not

109
00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:55,439
here

110
00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:57,040
although you have spares and i can show

111
00:03:59,910 --> 00:03:58,640
you one of those okay

112
00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:59,920
but that's the harness that you were

113
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:00,720
saying

114
00:04:06,949 --> 00:04:03,519
that that daddy would like okay

115
00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:06,959
on launch day and it contains a a number

116
00:04:10,869 --> 00:04:10,000
of uh emergency equipment items that she

117
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:10,879
will

118
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:13,280
fly with and hopefully not need but she

119
00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:15,599
will have it with her just in case right

120
00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:17,440
what's she got

121
00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:19,120
yeah show us what you can

122
00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:22,000
uh she has oxygen bottles

123
00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:23,199
that that

124
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:26,000
contain a minimum of 10 minutes of pure

125
00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:33,270
she has a life preserver

126
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:34,800
so in case something happens and they

127
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:36,400
can't make it back to the landing site

128
00:04:39,749 --> 00:04:38,000
they have the capability to bail out

129
00:04:41,590 --> 00:04:39,759
over open water

130
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:41,600
and we have a life preserver that's

131
00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:43,919
built into the harness here

132
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:54,710
water packs

133
00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:56,629
for survival water we have emergency

134
00:04:59,510 --> 00:04:58,240
drinking water because you need water

135
00:05:00,710 --> 00:04:59,520
that's absolutely right so if you're

136
00:05:01,990 --> 00:05:00,720
stuck out in the middle of the ocean you

137
00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:02,000
got to drink you can't drink the sea

138
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:03,919
water correct you got to drink that

139
00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:06,000
stuff it could be a little while before

140
00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:07,759
the rescue force is coming together so

141
00:05:12,070 --> 00:05:09,680
she needs a little something to drink

142
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:12,080
it's absolutely important

143
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:13,600
but there are rescue forces out there

144
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:15,280
ready to come get us okay we'll get

145
00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:16,560
these you know

146
00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:18,320
and there it should be pretty quick

147
00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:19,199
right

148
00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:20,560
but

149
00:05:23,270 --> 00:05:21,919
it may take a while it'll be the open

150
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:23,280
ocean but there are people ready to come

151
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:25,919
get us every astronaut carries uh an

152
00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:28,080
emergency beacon so they can be found

153
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:30,240
rapidly and they also have the survival

154
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:32,000
radio so they can speak directly to the

155
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,360
rescue forester

156
00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:35,520
uh absolutely essential items

157
00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:37,520
for emergency only right all right

158
00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:38,960
what's that blue thing you just put on

159
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:40,960
there this is a comfort pad every

160
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:42,960
astronaut has a comfort pad that they

161
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:44,320
wear on the back because they're going

162
00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:46,160
to be the ones since they're watching in

163
00:05:49,510 --> 00:05:47,520
the vertical position they're going to

164
00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:49,520
be laying on their backs for for a

165
00:05:55,029 --> 00:05:51,840
couple of hours it's sometimes it's not

166
00:05:57,110 --> 00:05:55,039
easy but uh this this back pad makes it

167
00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:57,120
a little more comfortable so they don't

168
00:06:00,870 --> 00:05:58,800
uh they can concentrate on their jobs

169
00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:00,880
and not concentrate on the

170
00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:02,240
on the pain that they're having in the

171
00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:03,280
shoulders

172
00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:04,880
this is what you guys wear this is what

173
00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:06,160
we wear on launch day all right that's

174
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:07,919
john's

175
00:06:11,110 --> 00:06:09,680
that'll be mine yep

176
00:06:12,469 --> 00:06:11,120
all right now i want to explain

177
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:12,479
something this is not your usual set of

178
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:14,400
clothes so what are the some of the

179
00:06:18,950 --> 00:06:16,880
interesting uh characteristics of this

180
00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:18,960
of this fancy uh jumpsuit you got there

181
00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:20,479
well besides the fact that it doesn't

182
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:22,800
fit very well but it is comfortable all

183
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:25,360
right uh the reason why uh it has all

184
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:27,120
the green stripes on here these are pull

185
00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:29,199
strip uh pull tapers so you can just

186
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:30,960
grab it and pull it for your down for

187
00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:32,240
let's say an accident happened on the

188
00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:34,160
pad and we need to get out of there your

189
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:35,759
friends or colleagues can grab you and

190
00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:37,440
drag you away from any danger that you

191
00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:39,600
have okay the reason why we have numbers

192
00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:41,520
on these is so the

193
00:06:47,749 --> 00:06:45,440
lcc the launch control center ntd ntd is

194
00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:47,759
uh nasa test director the person who's

195
00:06:52,629 --> 00:06:49,280
kind of running the show right there the

196
00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:52,639
launch director's deducer right okay

197
00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:54,240
but they need to know who we are and

198
00:06:58,150 --> 00:06:56,160
since our name tags are really small and

199
00:06:59,990 --> 00:06:58,160
so we don't have one on the back

200
00:07:01,589 --> 00:07:00,000
right they need to know really quick who

201
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:01,599
we are so we have numbers back there and

202
00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:03,360
each number designate who you are and

203
00:07:07,589 --> 00:07:04,960
what you do up there on the pad it's

204
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:07,599
like a ball player exactly yeah so like

205
00:07:11,589 --> 00:07:10,000
a number three is uh a suit tech and he

206
00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:11,599
works on the mid deck he'll be strapping

207
00:07:15,110 --> 00:07:12,800
in the middle

208
00:07:17,589 --> 00:07:15,120
uh you have a number one who's in obcc

209
00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:17,599
the orbiter vehicle crew chief

210
00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:19,120
and he he's the one that's overall in

211
00:07:21,749 --> 00:07:20,960
charge of all the closeout crew all

212
00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:21,759
right

213
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,240
the number two is an astronaut or an ask

214
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:26,319
as we're called that's asp

215
00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:28,080
astronauts because that's the answer

216
00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:31,120
that's support personnel and uh he's the

217
00:07:34,469 --> 00:07:32,800
guy who's going to be inside there

218
00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:34,479
assisting with switch throwing for the

219
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:36,000
astronauts making sure that all the

220
00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:38,160
switches are correct reading a checklist

221
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:40,000
doing context with the astronauts after

222
00:07:43,270 --> 00:07:41,440
they're strapped in

223
00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:43,280
and dealing with all their needs that

224
00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:45,520
they need prior to liftoff right uh the

225
00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:47,120
number three will be in the flight decks

226
00:07:51,589 --> 00:07:49,280
dropping in the pilot commander ms1 and

227
00:07:54,550 --> 00:07:51,599
ms2 that's you that would be me on this

228
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:54,560
flight all right uh the four and five

229
00:07:58,230 --> 00:07:56,319
they're the hatch techs they're the ones

230
00:07:59,430 --> 00:07:58,240
that will be closing the hatch ooh they

231
00:08:01,189 --> 00:07:59,440
got to close the door got to close the

232
00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:01,199
door they have the key as well they

233
00:08:06,309 --> 00:08:03,440
should lock the door all right all right

234
00:08:07,830 --> 00:08:06,319
all right uh the number seven

235
00:08:09,909 --> 00:08:07,840
is uh another suit deck and he's

236
00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:09,919
strapping in the mid deck which is ms

237
00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:12,000
five six and seven in this case that

238
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,520
will be ray cuevas

239
00:08:17,189 --> 00:08:15,440

right those are the seven people on the

247
00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:29,919
pad that you'll see in the white room in

248
00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:32,159
addition to the spacesuits we also prep

249
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:34,560
uh on some miscellaneous things so they

250
00:08:38,469 --> 00:08:36,880
can have it right there handy on launch

251
00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:38,479
day so all right

252
00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:40,240
whatever so so he's got a little let's

253
00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:41,360
look what he's got let's go a little

254
00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:43,120
closer here because we've got uh we've

255
00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:44,640
got some cool stuff here

256
00:08:47,350 --> 00:08:46,000
this is going to be on his it's a strap

257
00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:47,360
like this so it goes on his leg right

258
00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:48,720
yes it goes around that's going to strap

259
00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:50,080
around his leg we call it a knee board

260
00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:52,160
because it's kind of on your knee and uh

261
00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:54,160
it's got some pens and pencils but you

262
00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:55,440
know but these are not your average i

263
00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:56,399
mean this is kind of like a regular

264
00:09:00,790 --> 00:08:58,240
pencil right but look it's got some

265
00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:00,800
special features it's got a it's it's

266
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:02,480
actually pretty ordinary this is the

267
00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:03,519
kind of thing

268
00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:05,120
it's got but it's got a lanyard on it it

269
00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:08,320
has a nomex lanyard yeah uh but and has

270
00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:11,120
some uh hook velcro uh tape to it but

271
00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:12,720
other than that it's just an ordinary

272
00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:14,640
pencil that anybody can buy in in the

273
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:16,240
store yeah i don't i don't see it as

274
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:18,000
being any really any different but what

275
00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:20,320
you need to do is you because it's gonna

276
00:09:23,509 --> 00:09:22,160
float and so you don't illusionist you

277
00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:23,519
know i can lose pens and pencils all the

278
00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:24,800
time on the earth

279
00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:26,399
you know in space it's it's easier to

280
00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:27,440
lose it because it's gonna float away

281
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:28,800
from you so you have it on a lanyard you

282
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:30,480
know you can't lose it and you have the

283
00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:33,040
velcro so you can stick it to another

284
00:09:36,790 --> 00:09:34,800
matching piece of velcro so that it'll

285
00:09:38,790 --> 00:09:36,800
stay put so that's one of the the first

286
00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:38,800
things astronauts learns and things

287
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:40,800
things float away by themselves right

288
00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:42,800
they learn in training and through the

289
00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:44,480
experience of others to

290
00:09:47,350 --> 00:09:46,080
right and tether things down so they

291
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:47,360
don't move but it really becomes obvious

292
00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:48,880
when you get there and your stuff's

293
00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:50,480
floating everywhere and you got a

294
00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:52,560
flashlight as well yes and that

295
00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:54,000
flashlight of course is on the lanyard

296
00:09:57,750 --> 00:09:56,240
with velcro flashlight is is basically

297
00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:57,760
the same type of flashlight that you can

298
00:10:01,829 --> 00:10:00,080
buy in a store but it has an extra

299
00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:01,839
feature built into it

300
00:10:06,550 --> 00:10:04,560
uh we've replaced the the normal cap

301
00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:06,560
that goes on the back of the

302
00:10:11,110 --> 00:10:09,040
the flashlight with a special specially

303
00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:11,120
made device that's used to pull on

304
00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:12,959
circuit breakers so he can he can take

305
00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:15,120
this flashlight and not only use it as

306
00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:16,640
an ordinary flashlight you can turn it

307
00:10:20,550 --> 00:10:18,399
around there's the back end of the

308
00:10:23,430 --> 00:10:20,560
flashlight as a tool yeah so throw

309
00:10:24,949 --> 00:10:23,440
switches pull on circuit breakers and a

310
00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:24,959
couple other miscellaneous things that

311
00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:26,320
you can use this this is a very good

312
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:28,640
idea yeah it's a it's a two in one thing

313
00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:31,120
and uh it works very well and yeah and

314
00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:33,120
it's easy to use and it's it's always

315
00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:34,880
there so that's why that's why it's so

316
00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:37,040
popular the gold clips

317
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:39,680
the famous gold clips yes these are just

318
00:10:44,949 --> 00:10:42,480
ordinary uh paper clips uh

319
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:44,959
uh with all the computer technology that

320
00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:46,720
we have we still have lots of paper

321
00:10:51,190 --> 00:10:48,640
floating around we have a lot of paper

322
00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:51,200
instructions paper procedures and they

323
00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:53,440
need uh they need paper clips in space

324
00:10:57,269 --> 00:10:55,760
just like we do here on earth so and

325
00:10:59,030 --> 00:10:57,279
this is what they use they have velcro

326
00:11:01,110 --> 00:10:59,040
on them so they can attach them to a

327
00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:01,120
wall and they won't float away and

328
00:11:05,190 --> 00:11:02,640
they're nice and big so they can hold

329
00:11:07,430 --> 00:11:05,200
lots of lots of paper yeah and uh the

330
00:11:10,710 --> 00:11:07,440
astronauts

331
00:11:12,389 --> 00:11:10,720
use these very very frequently yeah it's

332
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:12,399
the little things that we need to to

333
00:11:15,269 --> 00:11:13,760
keep you keep being able to work like

334
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:15,279
you do on the earth

335
00:11:17,829 --> 00:11:17,200
so stuff don't float away from you you

336
00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:17,839
know

337
00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:19,040
you can keep track of what you're doing

338
00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:20,640
all that stuff is very important correct

339
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:22,160
we take lots of that stuff lots of

340
00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:23,760
things all right what else we got right

341
00:11:27,509 --> 00:11:25,519
we have a stowage bag and this is the

342
00:11:29,430 --> 00:11:27,519
bag that commander will use to stow his

343
00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:29,440
helmet after he gets on or but he's

344
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:31,040
going to take off his helmet and he has

345
00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:32,800
to put it somewhere so this is a bag

346
00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:35,040
that he's going to use to put his helmet

347
00:11:39,190 --> 00:11:37,279
in and and stow it because he won't need

348
00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:39,200
it again until it's time for him to come

349
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:40,560
home right so he needs to put it

350
00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:42,640
somewhere right and this is the bag that

351
00:11:46,949 --> 00:11:45,279
he's going to use to stow his helmet

352
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:46,959
gloves and cca

353
00:11:50,230 --> 00:11:49,040
cca is his comcap he's comcap right

354
00:11:52,069 --> 00:11:50,240
that's correct

355
00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:52,079
this is a headset that they'll use on

356
00:11:55,509 --> 00:11:53,360
orbit

357
00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:55,519
after they get in space they can remove

358
00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:57,760
their helmet and cca

359
00:12:01,750 --> 00:11:59,360
and just use this lightweight headset

360
00:12:03,030 --> 00:12:01,760
for for communications purposes

361
00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:03,040
but they don't need it for launch so

362
00:12:10,790 --> 00:12:08,829
okay we've got uh

363
00:12:13,269 --> 00:12:10,800
timers

364
00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:13,279
time is just ordinary just ordinary uh

365
00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:15,600
kitchen style timers that anybody can

366
00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:18,000
buy and but they come in handy for for a

367
00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:19,760
multitude of different reasons and

368
00:12:22,629 --> 00:12:21,680
because a lot of things we do are on

369
00:12:24,230 --> 00:12:22,639
time

370
00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:24,240
the things that you know you do this at

371
00:12:26,949 --> 00:12:25,680
this time and you said you can set up a

372
00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:26,959
little alarm or you want to time how

373
00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:28,480
long something takes because they want

374
00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:29,760
you know do something in 30 seconds

375
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:31,920
later do something else you have uh

376
00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:33,680
all these little timers to help you do

377
00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:35,360
that correct and it's excellent in

378
00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:37,360
addition to the time it also has a clock

379
00:12:41,350 --> 00:12:39,760
built in so you can use that as a watch

380
00:12:42,949 --> 00:12:41,360
so you know what time it is

381
00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:42,959
all right and then you've got your uh

382
00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:45,040
let's see you have mirror mirrors

383
00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:46,959
commander has requested a mirror and we

384
00:12:51,430 --> 00:12:49,040
will stow this in the orbiter for him

385
00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:51,440
and uh the mirror comes in handy because

386
00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:52,880
after they get in their seat if they

387
00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:54,480
drop something they can use the mirror

388
00:12:55,990 --> 00:12:55,360
to go

389
00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:56,000
yeah

390
00:12:58,710 --> 00:12:57,040
he probably doesn't need that because he

391
00:13:00,550 --> 00:12:58,720
wants to you know he's worried about his

392
00:13:02,629 --> 00:13:00,560
appearance

393
00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:02,639
it's a useful tool because because you

394
00:13:05,509 --> 00:13:04,320
can't see so well around the helmet so

395
00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:05,519
you need a mirror to show you what's

396
00:13:08,230 --> 00:13:06,800
going on behind you

397
00:13:09,590 --> 00:13:08,240
or to get some of the switches too i bet

398
00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:09,600
you're behind him that he can't see

399
00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:11,519
necessarily absolutely kind of over his

400
00:13:13,750 --> 00:13:12,720
shoulder he can use that mirror to make

401
00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:13,760
sure he's got his hand in the right

402
00:13:16,470 --> 00:13:15,600
place to uh you know to get the right

403
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:16,480
switch

404
00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:17,440
yeah

405
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:18,880
these are what we call portable suit

406
00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:20,560
testers they don't look very portable

407
00:13:23,590 --> 00:13:21,600
but

408
00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:23,600
these are the testers that we use to do

409
00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:25,680
our final leak checks with the with the

410
00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:28,480
crew when the crew comes in on on launch

411
00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:30,160
morning they'll walk in

412
00:13:34,310 --> 00:13:32,480
wearing their liquid cooled underwear

413
00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:34,320
they'll they'll be suited right here in

414
00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:35,360
this room

415
00:13:38,069 --> 00:13:37,200
in this chair this is one of the big

416
00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:38,079
chairs

417
00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:41,360
did neil armstrong sit in that chair

418
00:13:45,990 --> 00:13:44,079
uh i i don't think neil armstrong did

419
00:13:47,269 --> 00:13:46,000
but um

420
00:13:49,509 --> 00:13:47,279
he was in his room

421
00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:49,519
yes uh do you have so hollow astronauts

422
00:13:52,710 --> 00:13:51,040
did suit up in this room so the

423
00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:52,720
configuration of the room was very

424
00:13:55,509 --> 00:13:54,560
different so before let's just get this

425
00:13:57,189 --> 00:13:55,519
straight

426
00:14:00,470 --> 00:13:57,199
before any shuttle astronaut has ever

427
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:00,480
gone to space and probably that any

428
00:14:06,790 --> 00:14:04,320
moonwalking apollo astronaut or any any

429
00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:06,800
apollo era astronaut before they went

430
00:14:10,629 --> 00:14:08,399
and made that famous walk out to the

431
00:14:13,189 --> 00:14:10,639
launch pad and got in their saturn v

432
00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:13,199
rocket on apollo 11 or any of the moon

433
00:14:16,949 --> 00:14:15,199
flights or any of the shuttle flights

434
00:14:18,629 --> 00:14:16,959
they were in this room this is the same

435
00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:18,639
version this room is where where the

436
00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:20,480
where the day started for that look over

437
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:22,480
here on the wall

438
00:14:26,389 --> 00:14:24,240
we don't use these connections anymore

439
00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:26,399
but that's the reason for these extra

440
00:14:30,790 --> 00:14:27,839
pipes here they used to have the test

441
00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:30,800
stands built into the wall here and uh

442
00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:33,839
the power astronauts had uh at

443
00:14:39,030 --> 00:14:36,320
couches and this wall did not exist i

444
00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:39,040
was told that this wall that wall there

445
00:14:42,069 --> 00:14:40,639
but okay

446
00:14:44,230 --> 00:14:42,079
the test equipment was hooked up to

447
00:14:45,829 --> 00:14:44,240
those bulkheads there

448
00:14:47,829 --> 00:14:45,839
but this this whole facility was used

449
00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:47,839
for the same purpose it's being used now

450
00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:49,920
so they all came in here neil armstrong

451
00:14:54,550 --> 00:14:51,920
neil buzz and mike collins we're all in

452
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:54,560
here getting ready to go to the moon

453
00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:57,440
uh on apollo 11 just like

454
00:15:00,470 --> 00:14:58,800
shuttle astronauts today get to come

455
00:15:02,069 --> 00:15:00,480
into this room and that's right on the

456
00:15:03,509 --> 00:15:02,079
morning of the launch and

457
00:15:05,670 --> 00:15:03,519
get ready to go
