happy to be here my primary background 88 00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:02,800 is 89 00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:04,319 and i think that has helped prepare me 90 00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:07,040 the most for uh flying in space is the 91 00:03:10,630 --> 00:03:08,879 time i had here at kennedy space center 92 00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:10,640 and shuttle operations uh had the 93 00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:12,080 opportunity to work here for about 10 94 00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,080 years 95 00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:16,560 on this flight discovery which i'm 96 00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:18,640 really excited to be flying on again 97 00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:20,959 i'll be working with mike 98 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:21,680 for 99 00:03:26,789 --> 00:03:23,760 getting the the vehicle ready after we 100 00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:26,799 get to orbit and then working some of 101 00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:28,720 the docking system activities for 102 00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:31,840 rendezvous and docking and then with uh 103 00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:34,640 tim and al i'll be uh i get to be the 104 00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:36,239 boss of them from the inside while 105 00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:37,120 they're 106 00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:39,680 outside doing their evas so uh they have 107 00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:42,000 to listen to me for that and then uh 108 00:03:44,949 --> 00:03:43,440 like these guys mentioned we'll be doing 109 00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:44,959 some of the the major robotics 110 00:03:49,589 --> 00:03:46,959 activities moving the uh 111 00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:49,599 elc 4 from the payload bay so really 112 00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:50,959 looking forward to it and thanks for 113 00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:58,149 okay with that i guess we're ready to 114 00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:00,720 take any questions you might have for us 115 00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:03,120 uh thanks uh bill harwood cbs news uh 116 00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:04,319 i'll start with you commander it's the 117 00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:06,239 last flight of discovery there's only i 118 00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,080 guess two flights after yours 119 00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:10,239 uh maybe some perspective on discovery 120 00:04:16,150 --> 00:04:12,080 uh 121 00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:16,160 bittersweet you've probably heard that a 122 00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:18,400 lot uh you know for me personally this 123 00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:20,959 will be my third flight on discovery um 124 00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:23,280 flown it twice before uh first one was 125 00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:26,160 sds 95 which was when we took john 126 00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:27,840 senator john glenn back into space and 127 00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:29,680 then flew it again on the second return 128 00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:31,280 to flight test mission after columbia 129 00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:32,160 and uh 130 00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:34,479 you know uh discovery is a workhorse uh 131 00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:36,320 fleet leader a number of flights done a 132 00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:38,080 lot of famous flights all the return to 133 00:04:41,590 --> 00:04:40,000 flight test missions uh that have been 134 00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:41,600 involved and uh 135 00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:44,080 and yet when you uh i was telling some 136 00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:45,840 employees here yesterday when you walk 137 00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:48,320 inside at a discovery and see it it 138 00:04:52,230 --> 00:04:49,840 still looks like a new car even after 139 00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:52,240 almost 30 years of service and uh 140 00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:54,320 so it's a great it's a great machine a 141 00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:56,320 great vehicle with a each one has its 142 00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:57,840 own personality and discoveries no 143 00:05:01,590 --> 00:04:59,840 different than that but as far as the 144 00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:01,600 last flight it's a privilege i think for 145 00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:03,039 us to be able to fly it on the last 146 00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:04,479 flight and it's a real tribute to the 147 00:05:08,629 --> 00:05:06,320 folks here and in the other manned 148 00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:08,639 spacecraft centers 149 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:10,000 for all they've done to keep these 150 00:05:13,909 --> 00:05:12,320 vehicles flying and and uh and allowing 151 00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:13,919 the you know being able to do all the 152 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,320 things they do so if i think for us it's 153 00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:18,240 a privilege to be able to fly that last 154 00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:20,080 flight on discovery but it's also sad 155 00:05:23,350 --> 00:05:21,840 because after that it's retired i just 156 00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:23,360 hope that when it goes to the 157 00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:25,520 smithsonian that that it's it's laid out 158 00:05:29,749 --> 00:05:27,759 in a way such that the public 159 00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:29,759 can actually go through it and see and 160 00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:31,199 get a feeling of what it was really like 161 00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:33,120 to fly it and uh that's something that 162 00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:34,960 it'll always be in our memories 163 00:05:38,310 --> 00:05:36,320 thanks and one more for me and it's 164 00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:38,320 really for both tim and al if you guys 165 00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:40,240 could give us a little synopsis of eva's 166 00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:42,720 one and two uh the content maybe one of 167 00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:43,840 you do one and one do the other i'd 168 00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:45,360 appreciate that thanks yeah that sounds 169 00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:47,919 great i'll talk about uh uva one 170 00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:50,000 so uh it's interesting how this all 171 00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:51,840 evolved we started out with an eight day 172 00:05:55,189 --> 00:05:52,960 mission it was going to be a long 173 00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:55,199 weekend on space station and uh then it 174 00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:57,520 evolved into two pretty uh demanding 175 00:06:00,870 --> 00:05:59,520 spacewalks and uh really excited about 176 00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:00,880 especially because it's so integrated 177 00:06:04,710 --> 00:06:02,240 with robotics 178 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:04,720 so the the first dva as as many of you 179 00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:07,440 know the the stage crew the the folks on 180 00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:09,360 space station replaced a pump module 181 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:11,600 when it broke and did a great job doing 182 00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:13,280 that and they left the 183 00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:15,680 the disabled pump module installed on a 184 00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:17,360 place on station that's not great for 185 00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:19,520 bringing it back home so mike is going 186 00:06:23,590 --> 00:06:21,360 to fly me up to that location and we'll 187 00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:23,600 install that back on a place on space 188 00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:25,120 station where they can pull that off and 189 00:06:28,629 --> 00:06:27,440 put it in the payload bay on a future uh 190 00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:28,639 shuttle flight 191 00:06:31,909 --> 00:06:30,479 so uh while i'm doing that al is going 192 00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:31,919 to be working with venting this pump 193 00:06:35,029 --> 00:06:33,360 module because 194 00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:35,039 since this module has some residual 195 00:06:39,029 --> 00:06:37,120 ammonia inside the tank we need to get 196 00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:39,039 rid of that to put it in the payload bay 197 00:06:42,309 --> 00:06:40,639 on a future mission so we'll be working 198 00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:42,319 with that now it's going to get that all 199 00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:44,720 set up and then after we do that that 200 00:06:48,629 --> 00:06:46,400 coordinated activity al and i are going 201 00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:48,639 to go out to the starboard side of space 202 00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:51,280 station and install a wedge that allows 203 00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:53,840 this this boom to be in a position that 204 00:06:56,469 --> 00:06:54,800 allows 205 00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:56,479 future vehicles to come up and that 206 00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:58,639 won't be in the way for those missions 207 00:07:03,670 --> 00:07:00,720 and then finally the the big task we 208 00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:03,680 have is installing this this extension 209 00:07:08,469 --> 00:07:06,479 on the rail on the the truss elements 210 00:07:10,469 --> 00:07:08,479 and that allows the mobile transporter 211 00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:10,479 to move the entire length of the vehicle 212 00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:12,240 for future maintenance activities so 213 00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:13,919 that in a nutshell is what we plan on 214 00:07:20,309 --> 00:07:17,680 doing on eva one 215 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:20,319 for eva2 what we'll do is that we're 216 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:22,080 gonna set up preventing that pump module 217 00:07:25,909 --> 00:07:24,160 during eva one the first thing we'll do 218 00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:25,919 after getting out the door on eva2 is to 219 00:07:29,510 --> 00:07:27,360 actually vent that 220 00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:29,520 module allowing it to clean up so we can 221 00:07:32,309 --> 00:07:30,479 get it cleaned up later on in the 222 00:07:34,550 --> 00:07:32,319 mission itself while that's going on 223 00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:34,560 tim's going to head out to the outboard 224 00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:37,280 side of the columbus module and retrieve 225 00:07:40,629 --> 00:07:38,240 the 226 00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:40,639 el wapa lw apa payload that's been out 227 00:07:43,909 --> 00:07:41,919 there for a while they need to get that 228 00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:43,919 back he'll get to ride the robot arm out 229 00:07:47,909 --> 00:07:45,840 to the payload bay and install that and 230 00:07:50,469 --> 00:07:47,919 then come back and clean up from there 231 00:07:52,710 --> 00:07:50,479 tim will do further work on the 232 00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:52,720 special purpose dexter's manipulator 233 00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:54,080 putting working with the camera 234 00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:56,080 stanchions and putting lens covers on it 235 00:07:59,990 --> 00:07:58,400 and meantime i'll be out working up on 236 00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:00,000 the 237 00:08:07,589 --> 00:08:05,360 so i'll get that back off of that and 238 00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:07,599 bag it up i'll continue to clean up from 239 00:08:12,629 --> 00:08:10,240 the stage eva that doug wheelock and 240 00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:12,639 tracy caldwell dyson did they left some 241 00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:14,720 bags out there on the front part of the 242 00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:16,240 mobile service system 243 00:08:19,830 --> 00:08:18,160 i'll get those bagged up as well and get 244 00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:19,840 ready to bring those back 245 00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:22,720 finally i'll head over to the 246 00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:25,120 starboard side and install a work light 247 00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:26,960 it's called a cedar light to light up 248 00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:28,240 the interior of the truss for internal 249 00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:30,160 maintenance and then we'll get rid of 250 00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:31,520 some of the 251 00:08:34,389 --> 00:08:32,959 insulation outside on the outside of 252 00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:34,399 node three 253 00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:36,240 and then we'll tim and i will tag back 254 00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:38,080 up towards the end of the mission there 255 00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:39,760 and uh and get ready to head back in 256 00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:40,880 since i missed something else you had 257 00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:45,110 oh and last but not least of course we 258 00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:46,560 have a japanese payload it's called 259 00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:48,240 message in a bottle where we're going to 260 00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:49,760 capture some of the vacuum of space to 261 00:08:59,509 --> 00:08:57,030 hi i'm jim siegel i'm with the 262 00:09:02,389 --> 00:08:59,519 celebration independent newspaper and 263 00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:02,399 this being the last voyage of discovery 264 00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:04,720 i wondered if you had any special events 265 00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:07,200 or ceremonies planned while you're 266 00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:09,440 up in space or are you bringing any 267 00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:12,080 special mementos with you to commemorate 268 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,430 or is it a surprise 269 00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:21,350 well i don't think you can take the 270 00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:23,360 final voyage of a ship of exploration 271 00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:25,040 and not take some moments to celebrate 272 00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:27,440 its history and i think many people know 273 00:09:31,990 --> 00:09:29,200 that our ship discovery which is a ship 274 00:09:34,070 --> 00:09:32,000 of exploration was named after several 275 00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:34,080 predecessor ships also named discovery 276 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:36,399 all ships of exploration so it's a 277 00:09:39,750 --> 00:09:38,080 culmination of a great heritage really 278 00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:39,760 and we hope there are future ships 279 00:09:44,310 --> 00:09:41,120 bearing that name 280 00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:44,320 uh we will be carrying a medallion from 281 00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:46,160 the royal society that was struck in 282 00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:48,000 honor of captain cook 283 00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:49,360 and uh we'll be doing a little 284 00:09:55,269 --> 00:09:50,560 commemorative 285 00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:55,279 and uh on cook's third voyage there was 286 00:09:59,030 --> 00:09:57,120 a ship called discovery and uh that's 287 00:10:01,110 --> 00:09:59,040 the main ship for which our ship 288 00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:01,120 discovery uh took its name 289 00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:02,720 and we'll be doing a few other tape 290 00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:04,399 commemoratives on it as well 291 00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:06,959 but again you cannot not celebrate the 292 00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:08,800 history and the heritage of this ship 293 00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:10,480 and we plan to continue that certainly 294 00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:12,240 after we land 295 00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:15,680 great and uh second question um 296 00:10:19,430 --> 00:10:17,680 this is this being the last voyage again 297 00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:19,440 when you return to earth are you going 298 00:10:25,509 --> 00:10:22,240 to be doing anything special to 299 00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:25,519 to button it up to prepare for 300 00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:27,920 you know whatever for storage uh 301 00:10:31,509 --> 00:10:29,600 anything special compared to other 302 00:10:33,829 --> 00:10:31,519 flights that you might have been on 303 00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:33,839 um we're probably not the best ones to 304 00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:36,160 be able to answer that question uh the 305 00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:38,720 way the way it works is uh kennedy space 306 00:10:41,670 --> 00:10:39,600 center 307 00:10:43,829 --> 00:10:41,680 basically gives us the vehicle at launch 308 00:10:45,430 --> 00:10:43,839 and we only get it while we're on orbit 309 00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:45,440 and as soon as we wheel stop it goes 310 00:10:48,389 --> 00:10:46,959 back to kennedy space center and they 311 00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:48,399 own it again so we're just borrowing it 312 00:10:52,150 --> 00:10:50,160 from them but after it lands they're 313 00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:52,160 gonna have to go through some processing 314 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:54,720 uh to to safe all the systems to get all 315 00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:56,240 the hazardous chemicals off and all 316 00:10:59,670 --> 00:10:57,760 those sorts of things and they're gonna 317 00:11:01,910 --> 00:10:59,680 do some additional preparations but the 318 00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:01,920 the plan for discovery right now the 319 00:11:08,949 --> 00:11:07,670 museum has laid claim to discovery and 320 00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:08,959 as i understand it that's where it's 321 00:11:12,389 --> 00:11:10,880 going to head 322 00:11:14,949 --> 00:11:12,399 and so they have to do some preparations 323 00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:14,959 i have to put it back on the 747 carrier 324 00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:16,720 aircraft to bring it there and but as 325 00:11:20,790 --> 00:11:19,360 far as all of the detailed 326 00:11:22,389 --> 00:11:20,800 preparations are going to happen i'm not 327 00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:22,399 familiar with exactly what all those are 328 00:11:35,430 --> 00:11:33,430 hi dan billow from wesh tv a question 329 00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:35,440 for nicole you mentioned your experience 330 00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:37,440 here at the kennedy space center 331 00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:39,120 and uh 332 00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:40,560 you're obviously aware that a lot of 333 00:11:45,190 --> 00:11:43,200 people are getting laid off 334 00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:45,200 can you just give me your perspective on 335 00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:47,120 that your thoughts on on that as far as 336 00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:49,040 the end maybe from a perspective of 337 00:11:52,069 --> 00:11:50,880 someone who knows the people here so 338 00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:52,079 well 339 00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:55,760 you can't answer that question without 340 00:11:59,670 --> 00:11:57,440 the word sad coming to mind i think it 341 00:12:02,389 --> 00:11:59,680 is certainly going to be a 342 00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:02,399 you know a sad time we've already seen 343 00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:03,760 quite a few people 344 00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:05,360 walk out the door 345 00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:06,800 we've had the chance to come down here 346 00:12:10,150 --> 00:12:08,240 and visit 347 00:12:11,110 --> 00:12:10,160 several times throughout our training 348 00:12:13,269 --> 00:12:11,120 flow 349 00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:13,279 and i think what impresses me the most 350 00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:15,040 is the spirit 351 00:12:18,069 --> 00:12:16,399 that is here with these people and it's 352 00:12:20,389 --> 00:12:18,079 been here forever i mean this is 353 00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:20,399 definitely one of these places where 354 00:12:24,550 --> 00:12:22,399 people come to work because it's a heart 355 00:12:27,829 --> 00:12:24,560 and soul thing it's not just 356 00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:27,839 a job for them and you see that in every 357 00:12:31,590 --> 00:12:30,560 aspect of the work that goes on here and 358 00:12:34,310 --> 00:12:31,600 we are 359 00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:34,320 truly thankful for that and i think it 360 00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:37,200 gives us confidence in the vehicle and 361 00:12:40,870 --> 00:12:39,760 and the workforce and uh in the mission 362 00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:40,880 that we're going to fly and know that 363 00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:43,920 we'll have success because of them 364 00:12:48,310

00:13:08,389 --> 00:13:06,160 magnificent program i mean you know look 374 00:13:10,310 --> 00:13:08,399 at the vehicle behind us you cannot 375 00:13:11,990 --> 00:13:10,320 be anything but impressed by what you 376 00:13:13,269 --> 00:13:12,000 see here both in the hardware and the 377 00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:13,279 people so 378 00:13:16,949 --> 00:13:15,760 um yes sad but it's it's really nice

00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:35,680 everything about 415 00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:38,240 the station experience for me was better 416 00:14:42,470 --> 00:14:40,560 than i expected it to be and i had 417 00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:42,480 very high expectations of what it was 418 00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:43,680 going to be like 419 00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:45,440 and there's a couple other guys here who 420 00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:47,440 could speak to this as well but 421 00:14:50,069 --> 00:14:48,240 um 422 00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:50,079 i think ultimately the most difficult 423 00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:52,160 thing is just not having your family 424 00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:53,760 there i mean 425 00:14:57,350 --> 00:14:55,680 that was it although our communications 426 00:14:58,870 --> 00:14:57,360 that we have set up there now are really 427 00:15:00,550 --> 00:14:58,880 wonderful you can call down on 428 00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:00,560 essentially on a phone to talk to your 429 00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:02,560 family we have video conferences once a 430 00:15:07,509 --> 00:15:05,600 week there's email so there's really an 431 00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:07,519 open line of communication that that 432 00:15:11,269 --> 00:15:09,440 certainly helps 433 00:15:13,430 --> 00:15:11,279 i've always been one that in in these 434 00:15:15,030 --> 00:15:13,440 training uh experiences that we have and 435 00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:15,040 getting ready to fly 436 00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:16,959 there's such cool things that we get to 437 00:15:19,750 --> 00:15:17,839 do 438 00:15:22,389 --> 00:15:19,760 and it could be i think you could use 439 00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:22,399 the word perfect if you could have um 440 00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:23,760 those special people in your life 441 00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:31,110 open question for any of the crew i'm 442 00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:33,440 mark raderon from talking space and my 443 00:15:36,550 --> 00:15:35,040 question is about how you do the 444 00:15:38,389 --> 00:15:36,560 impossible 445 00:15:40,389 --> 00:15:38,399 if a friend or a neighbor may be a 446 00:15:42,389 --> 00:15:40,399 student in school or university 447 00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:42,399 ask how to move beyond what seems 448 00:15:47,189 --> 00:15:44,800 difficult or impossible from your 449 00:15:49,110 --> 00:15:47,199 experience and success 450 00:15:50,230 --> 00:15:49,120 your education training what advice 451 00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:50,240 would you give 452 00:15:53,990 --> 00:15:52,720 how do you do the impossible 453 00:15:55,189 --> 00:15:54,000 that's that's a really good question you 454 00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:55,199 know really 455 00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:56,560 i think we don't look at this as the 456 00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:58,079 impossible because the way we've trained 457 00:16:00,550 --> 00:15:59,600 and everything else and and that's kind 458 00:16:01,749 --> 00:16:00,560 of the 459 00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:01,759 things out in life that look like 460 00:16:04,710 --> 00:16:03,199 impossible you do them one step at a 461 00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:04,720 time you know you kind of set your goals 462 00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:06,320 you kind of look at the big picture see 463 00:16:10,150 --> 00:16:08,240 how things that you want to do and then 464 00:16:11,350 --> 00:16:10,160 you just attack those problems day in 465 00:16:12,550 --> 00:16:11,360 and day out and i think that's probably 466 00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:12,560 the hardest things is that every day you 467 00:16:15,749 --> 00:16:14,320 got to get up and do your best and as 468 00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:15,759 you keep doing that especially with the 469 00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:17,120 team you kind of get the synergistic 470 00:16:20,470 --> 00:16:18,720 effect you know one person could do one 471 00:16:21,829 --> 00:16:20,480 thing but you know when you have a group 472 00:16:23,430 --> 00:16:21,839 of people i mean every time we look at 473 00:16:25,269 --> 00:16:23,440 this amazing machine 474 00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:25,279 and you go it's amazing that humans can 475 00:16:28,230 --> 00:16:26,560 build something like that that we can 476 00:16:29,749 --> 00:16:28,240 take this ship up into space and make it 477 00:16:31,509 --> 00:16:29,759 happen and so to me 478 00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:31,519 the thing that really makes that 479 00:16:34,230 --> 00:16:32,800 difference is that we have a whole group 480 00:16:35,829 --> 00:16:34,240 of people that are working together that 481 00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:35,839 are trying to do these hard things and 482 00:16:38,949 --> 00:16:37,040 then they're no longer hard they're not 483 00:16:40,389 --> 00:16:38,959 impossible they become easy so you know 484 00:16:41,509 --> 00:16:40,399 for the people out there trying to do 485 00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:41,519 those things 486 00:16:45,189 --> 00:16:43,600 you know set your your goals high and 487 00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:45,199 keep working hard and you'll get there 488 00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:53,509 and one more question from me for um the 489 00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:56,720 commander or pilot would you mind uh 490 00:17:02,069 --> 00:16:59,759 describing an rtls for me uh go through 491 00:17:04,309 --> 00:17:02,079 it step by step if you would and you 492 00:17:05,990 --> 00:17:04,319 know flying backwards what would that be 493 00:17:07,590 --> 00:17:06,000 like 494 00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:07,600 well it's obviously something we hope 495 00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:09,039 never to have to do and just to kind of 496 00:17:12,470 --> 00:17:10,559 explain in our tls is that for some 497 00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:12,480 reason we normally what would get us 498 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:14,319 into this it's a return to launch site 499 00:17:18,069 --> 00:17:16,880 uh profile if for some normally what 500 00:17:19,829 --> 00:17:18,079 gets you into this kind of scenario 501 00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:19,839 would be a loss of an engine a main 502 00:17:22,390 --> 00:17:21,039 engine we have the three main engines 503 00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:22,400 plus the solid rocket boosters one of 504 00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:23,839 those main engines failed very early in 505 00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:26,959 flight uh we'd be returning back to 506 00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:29,280 back here at kennedy space center and 507 00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:30,960 basically the profile is a pretty 508 00:17:33,669 --> 00:17:32,320 interesting one you kind of alluded to 509 00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:33,679 it you basically fly up and what we're 510 00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:35,440 trying to do is basically burn out all 511 00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:36,799 the fuel in the tank so that we can 512 00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:38,080 separate from it safely and then 513 00:17:41,430 --> 00:17:39,360 obviously being a profile that we can 514 00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:41,440 come back and land the space shuttle 515 00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:43,679 back here the orbiter back at kennedy 516 00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:45,120 space center so there's definitely a lot 517 00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:46,400 of dynamic 518 00:17:49,909 --> 00:17:48,400 phases of flight it would be a pretty 519 00:17:51,669 --> 00:17:49,919 exciting ride and like i said hopefully 520 00:17:53,270 --> 00:17:51,679 it will be one that we don't have to do 521 00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:53,280 but we're well trained in it it's 522 00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:54,640 amazing the amount of detail that we've 523 00:17:57,990 --> 00:17:56,799 gone into to actually make it happen 524 00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:58,000 there's some interesting parts of the 525 00:18:01,190 --> 00:17:59,760 flight as you're going away from this 526 00:18:02,390 --> 00:18:01,200 you're actually pointing 527 00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:02,400 back towards the site but flying 528 00:18:06,070 --> 00:18:03,840 backwards because we've already built up 529 00:18:08,390 --> 00:18:06,080 so much speed leaving the launch site 530 00:18:09,669 --> 00:18:08,400 and then eventually our velocity turns 531 00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:09,679 around and we start flying back towards 532 00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:11,840 the launch site again all the timing is 533 00:18:15,270 --> 00:18:13,360 working to get the external tank empty 534 00:18:17,110 --> 00:18:15,280 so that we can separate from it and then 535 00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:17,120 we come back into land stevie anything 536 00:18:20,549 --> 00:18:18,320 dan 537 00:18:22,390 --> 00:18:20,559 yeah i would say the uh the thing that's 538 00:18:24,150 --> 00:18:22,400 the most unique about it is as eric 539 00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:24,160 mentioned was the um 540 00:18:27,830 --> 00:18:25,520 was a part where you're where you're 541 00:18:29,270 --> 00:18:27,840 you're essentially flying backwards uh 542 00:18:30,789 --> 00:18:29,280 you're you're well out of the atmosphere 543 00:18:33,029 --> 00:18:30,799 so you're not really flying into your 544 00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:33,039 plume per se but you're flying backwards 545 00:18:37,029 --> 00:18:35,280 and as you slow as your as your relative 546 00:18:38,950 --> 00:18:37,039 velocity to the launch site gets slower 547 00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:38,960 and slower and slower 548 00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:40,320 you're continually dropping the whole 549 00:18:43,990 --> 00:18:41,760 time you eventually reach a point which 550 00:18:45,669 --> 00:18:44,000 we call v-rail or relative velocity of 551 00:18:48,549 --> 00:18:45,679 zero where you're actually dropping 552 00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:48,559 straight down at about 553 00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:51,760 yeah almost a thousand feet per second 554 00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:52,880 so you're dropping straight down and 555 00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:54,400 then eventually you thrust out of this 556 00:18:58,549 --> 00:18:56,320 and you start climbing and climbing and 557 00:19:00,150 --> 00:18:58,559 we usually hit about mach six and a half 558 00:19:01,830 --> 00:19:00,160 or something like that right when the 559 00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:01,840 engine's cut off with the tank empty as 560 00:19:05,590 --> 00:19:03,600 eric mentioned because the most critical 561 00:19:06,870 --> 00:19:05,600 part of that is making sure we separate 562 00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:06,880 with an empty tank so we don't 563 00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:08,960 re-contact with the tank once you do 564 00:19:12,549 --> 00:19:10,400 that and you're off the tank 565 00:19:14,150 --> 00:19:12,559 successfully then you kind of hit a 566 00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:14,160 standard profile coming in to enter and 567 00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:15,440 when you come in and land just like we 568 00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:17,360 would on a on a regular flight so it's 569 00:19:21,590 --> 00:19:19,679 very dynamic it's a certified flight 570 00:19:23,590 --> 00:19:21,600 mode which means uh the vehicle is 571 00:19:26,549 --> 00:19:23,600 certified to do this if we were ever to 572 00:19:29,029 --> 00:19:26,559 need to and hopefully we never will 573 00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:29,039 and just quickly are you heads up at v 574 00:19:34,070 --> 00:19:32,400 rel yes yeah you stay uh 575 00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:34,080 you're essentially your head's down as 576 00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:35,520 we go out over the water we're heads 577 00:19:39,029 --> 00:19:36,320 down 578 00:19:41,029 --> 00:19:39,039 and uh in this rtls once once we declare 579 00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:41,039 it it gets it goes to what it does is 580 00:19:44,630 --> 00:19:42,799 we're still thrusting away 581 00:19:45,990 --> 00:19:44,640 and and the system is calculating how 582 00:19:47,830 --> 00:19:46,000 much fuel 583 00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:47,840 at what how much percentage of fuel 584 00:19:51,669 --> 00:19:49,760 remaining we should pitch back and start 585 00:19:52,950 --> 00:19:51,679 thrusting back and once we hit that 586 00:19:54,710 --> 00:19:52,960 place it's called powered pitch around 587 00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:54,720 the vehicle actually pitches over the 588 00:19:58,950 --> 00:19:57,840 top so now we're heads up heading back 589 00:20:00,230 --> 00:19:58,960 even though we're flying backwards 590 00:20:01,990 --> 00:20:00,240 that's how it works 591 00:20:04,070 --> 00:20:02,000 that sounds like a piece of cake 592 00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:04,080 escape i really don't even know how to 593 00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:05,360 follow that question let me ask this one 594 00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:07,280 though for the commander um 595 00:20:10,870 --> 00:20:08,960 you guys originally had a very different 596 00:20:12,870 --> 00:20:10,880 flight uh you were going to be the last 597 00:20:14,470 --> 00:20:12,880 mission in the program and then 598 00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:14,480 for no fault of anyone's it ended up 599 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:16,240 being the next the next the last flight 600 00:20:19,190 --> 00:20:17,280 in the program how did that affect 601 00:20:20,789 --> 00:20:19,200 training and how difficult was it to 602 00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:20,799 shift gears like that kind of in mid 603 00:20:24,470 --> 00:20:23,760 flow to get ready for this flight um 604 00:20:26,549 --> 00:20:24,480 well 605 00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:26,559 as uh i think tim mentioned we started 606 00:20:31,190 --> 00:20:28,960 out as an eight-day mission with no evas 607 00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:31,200 our our objective in a nutshell at that 608 00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:33,200 point was we're still going to carry the 609 00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:35,280 the permanent multi-purpose module we're 610 00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:38,080 going to carry the elc up and uh our job 611 00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:40,000 was to outfit station and leave space 612 00:20:44,070 --> 00:20:42,000 station the best possible configuration 613 00:20:45,909 --> 00:20:44,080 for after we left logistically and that 614 00:20:50,070 --> 00:20:45,919 was our whole mission uh 615 00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:50,080 the we had uh the ams flight uh magnetic 616 00:20:53,990 --> 00:20:52,240 alpha magnetic spectrometer flight got 617 00:20:55,669 --> 00:20:54,000 the payload got delayed so they moved 618 00:20:57,190 --> 00:20:55,679 out past us and then there now there's 619 00:21:00,310 --> 00:20:57,200 uh the authorization bill at least is 620 00:21:01,830 --> 00:21:00,320 authorized a final flight um so for as 621 00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:01,840 far as our preparations go we actually 622 00:21:05,510 --> 00:21:04,000 took a launch slip uh because of some of 623 00:21:07,750 --> 00:21:05,520 the changes going on and spreading out 624 00:21:10,230 --> 00:21:07,760 the flights a little bit um and then we 625 00:21:11,909 --> 00:21:10,240 added the two space walks so the last 626 00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:11,919 cup two three months have gotten a lot 627 00:21:15,990 --> 00:21:13,760 busier uh as we had to add in these 628 00:21:18,070 --> 00:21:16,000 spacewalks we didn't plan to train for 629 00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:18,080 um but all in all we've been able to 630 00:21:21,830 --> 00:21:19,760 keep a pretty consistent schedule and as 631 00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:21,840 far as as a crew getting ready to do a 632 00:21:25,350 --> 00:21:23,280 different mission 633 00:21:27,909 --> 00:21:25,360 really not a big deal for us 634 00:21:30,310 --> 00:21:27,919 you know you expect changes late things 635 00:21:32,630 --> 00:21:30,320 change on space station we're trained to 636 00:21:35,270 --> 00:21:32,640 to to deal with those changes we even 637 00:21:36,630 --> 00:21:35,280 uh specifically train more skills based 638 00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:36,640 these days than we used to we used to 639 00:21:40,149 --> 00:21:38,720 train more task-based and through all 640 00:21:42,070 --> 00:21:40,159 the skills-based training that we've 641 00:21:44,710 --> 00:21:42,080 done particularly in the eva area we're 642 00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:44,720 able to adapt to late changes and and 643 00:21:48,710 --> 00:21:47,039 handle that in our flow so for from a 644 00:21:52,390 --> 00:21:48,720 preparation standpoint it really hasn't 645 00:21:53,830 --> 00:21:52,400 been uh been that big of a deal 646 00:21:55,590 --> 00:21:53,840 that's all the time for questions we 647 00:21:57,190 --> 00:21:55,600 have if we please have the crew stand
