00:03:37,680 --> 00:04:34,550
oh

3
00:04:34,560 --> 00:06:01,670
so

4
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:42,710
oh

5
00:06:46,830 --> 00:06:44,790
well good afternoon uh it's great to be

6
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:46,840
here i'm steve lindsey the commander

7
00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:50,400
sts-133 and we're just down here for a

8
00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:52,319
terminal countdown demonstration test

9
00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:54,240
we're going to do uh

10
00:06:57,830 --> 00:06:55,919
several days of training well three days

11
00:06:59,110 --> 00:06:57,840
of training we're going to going to uh

12
00:07:02,309 --> 00:06:59,120
be doing a whole bunch of emergency

13
00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:02,319
procedure training on the vehicle strap

14
00:07:07,909 --> 00:07:04,880
into our vehicle do a do a countdown to

15
00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:07,919
uh to t0 and then kind of a practice

16
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:08,960
egress

17
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:10,240
we'll do a bunch of other training down

18
00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:11,520
here we need to do we're gonna be flying

19
00:07:15,189 --> 00:07:13,840
the shuttle training aircraft um it's

20
00:07:17,189 --> 00:07:15,199
really exciting to be down here we

21
00:07:18,710 --> 00:07:17,199
haven't done one of these in nearly six

22
00:07:21,189 --> 00:07:18,720
months i think it is or maybe longer

23
00:07:23,189 --> 00:07:21,199
than that by now and it's good to be

24
00:07:25,189 --> 00:07:23,199
back here with the kennedy space center

25
00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:25,199
team and get an opportunity to work with

26
00:07:29,589 --> 00:07:27,520
them again so our training is pretty

27
00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:29,599
much done for the most part we're ready

28
00:07:33,029 --> 00:07:30,479
to fly

29
00:07:35,350 --> 00:07:33,039
uh just a few more weeks of uh of things

30
00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:35,360
for us to do and we'll be ready to go so

31
00:07:38,550 --> 00:07:36,960
um i'd like to give an opportunity for

32
00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:38,560
each one of my crew members to just say

33
00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:40,560
a few words uh who they are what they're

34
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:42,319
gonna be doing on the flight and uh just

35
00:07:46,390 --> 00:07:43,840

pleasure of being on the end of the

97
00:09:55,269 --> 00:09:53,839
robotic arm as mike flies me around

98
00:09:56,870 --> 00:09:55,279
during one of the spacewalks actually

99
00:10:00,470 --> 00:09:56,880
two of the spacewalks that we have

100
00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:01,990
thanks tim i hope he still says it was

101
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:04,959

half dozen shipmates that's possible to

105
00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:12,160
assemble here and then to fly one of

106
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:13,839
these magnificent little airplanes down

107
00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:16,000
here and see your shuttle on the pad

108
00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:17,920

ready to shoot so thanks to everybody

113
00:10:29,910 --> 00:10:27,839
who've put this mission together for us

114
00:10:31,269 --> 00:10:29,920
and we're really looking forward to it

115
00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:31,279
as tim said

116
00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:33,120
tim and nick and i flew together and the

117
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:34,800
last time i saw nicole on the shuttle

118
00:10:38,949 --> 00:10:37,600
was the sts-128 mission on discovery

119
00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:38,959
when she was delivered to the space

120
00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:40,240
station so i think it's going to be

121
00:10:43,269 --> 00:10:41,600
great to be up there

122
00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:43,279
when we both dock at the same time and

123
00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:45,040
get to get back to one of our second

124
00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:51,829
well again like everyone else here has

125
00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:54,160
uh very nicely said it is really great

126
00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:55,440
to be back here

127
00:11:00,150 --> 00:10:58,480
uh this is where it it really happens to

128
00:11:01,590 --> 00:11:00,160
be able to have hands-on with the

129
00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:01,600
hardware and then ultimately know that

130
00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:03,120
we're going to be sitting in one of

131
00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:05,040
those seats again launching it's a

132
00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:07,839
really incredible uh thought for us and

133
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:09,600
