1
00:00:12,789 --> 00:00:10,310
good morning discovery and a special

2
00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:12,799
good morning to you steve lindsey

3
00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:15,200
good morning mike and thanks to my

4
00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:18,000
family for that song

5
00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:20,080
houston discovery from the station for

6
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:22,560
robo starting the gravel now

7
00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:24,160
story

8
00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:25,920
houston copies

9
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:27,920
and this begins our robotics operations

10
00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:29,920
today as the station's arm will be used

11
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:32,559
to reach over grab on to the obss

12
00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:34,000
lift it out of the payload bay and hand

13
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:36,000
it off to discovery's robotic arm

14
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:38,960
houston and discovery you are go for

15
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:42,480
srms obsess grapple

16
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:44,879
okay

17
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:46,800
all right can you see the cupola

18
00:00:51,029 --> 00:00:48,800
yes they can all right so this is a

19
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:51,039
beautiful place to work from you'll see

20
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,600
we're pointing towards the earth um

21
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:55,680
just beautiful panoramic windows and

22
00:00:59,510 --> 00:00:57,280
very fortunately we have the robotics

23
00:01:02,389 --> 00:00:59,520
workstation set up in here so that we

24
00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:02,399
can work with both the uh

25
00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:05,519
station arm and then in partnership with

26
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:07,360
the guys over on the shuttle who have

27
00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:09,200
the shuttle robotic arm

28
00:01:14,230 --> 00:01:12,320
and today mike and i did some work uh

29
00:01:16,630 --> 00:01:14,240
moving the big shuttle boom

30
00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:16,640
out and around and handing it off to the

31
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:18,240
um shuttle arm

32
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:20,320
station

33
00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:21,680
um

34
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:24,080
later katie and i got to do a task that

35
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:25,680
we call a walk-off which is where we

36
00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:27,439
take one end of the arm

37
00:01:31,429 --> 00:01:29,200
put it on a place on the station take

38
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:31,439
the other end off and now the base and

39
00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:34,320
the tip are exchanged so basically this

40
00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:36,079
arm is very cool because you can move it

41
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:37,520
all over the space station to different

42
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:39,360
spots and it gives you different access

43
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:40,479
to

44
00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:42,000
do all kinds of work across the space

45
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:46,389
what are you up to today

46
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:49,119
i am trent i'm a transfer in food

47
00:01:56,469 --> 00:01:50,720
delivering the crew care package

48
00:02:03,429 --> 00:01:57,830
hey katie

49
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:05,270
so that's your day today

50
00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:08,399
a little robotics this morning did obss

51
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:12,560
handover and uh doing transfer and uh

52
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:14,560
learning how much i don't know about

53
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:19,990
tell us what you've done today well

54
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:22,800
let's see i uh i got up i flew through

55
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:25,440
this magnificent station and then uh i

56
00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:28,239
got to remove the obss from the payload

57
00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:30,480
bay twirl it around and hand it off to

58
00:02:33,990 --> 00:02:32,000
the shuttle arm so the shuttle guys

59
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:34,000
could uh that's us

60
00:02:38,949 --> 00:02:36,800
uh use it to look around and then i did

61
00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:38,959
the activation checkout of the new

62
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:41,040
tonometer with our eye simulators and

63
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:43,040
now i get to go exercise

64
00:02:48,309 --> 00:02:44,720
mostly i'm just enjoying being back on

65
00:02:49,910 --> 00:02:48,319
this magnificent stack of modules

66
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:49,920
i remember the first shuttle flight back

67
00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:52,720
in 1981 my three daughters don't they

68
00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:55,519
have no idea do you think space travel

69
00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:58,480
is getting to be old news what's next

70
00:03:01,670 --> 00:03:00,640
for nasa after the shuttle program is

71
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:01,680
retired

72
00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:03,440
well i think the objective that nasa set

73
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:05,440
out back in 58

74
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:07,360
was that that space travel shouldn't

75
00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:08,720
really be news after a while it should

76
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:10,720
be part of our routine existence so to

77
00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:12,480
think that we've had the space station

78
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:14,159
continually inhabited for the last 10

79
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:15,840
years so there are fifth graders who've

80
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:17,440
never known the space station not to be

81
00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:19,200
in space with astronauts on board i

82
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:21,040
think is a major success a milestone for

83
00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:22,080
nasa

84
00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:24,000
so what i look forward to in the future

85
00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:26,480
is when space travel becomes routine uh

86
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:28,159
just as back in the 1930s only

87
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:29,760
daredevils and barnstormers took to the

88
00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,360
skies and now we have everybody flying

89
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:33,519
around on airlines at some point and uh

90
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:35,200
before these children become

91
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:37,360
old uh we should have routine travel

92
00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:39,360
people above the planet here above earth

93
00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:41,200
here and maybe traveling out to the moon

94
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:43,120
uh for nasa i think to push out into the

95
00:03:45,830 --> 00:03:44,879
solar system is what's next for us go to

96
00:03:48,149 --> 00:03:45,840
the moon

97
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:48,159
go to mars the asteroid belt to go and

98
00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:49,760
explore to push out the frontiers which

99
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:52,640
we've been doing since 1958

100
00:03:56,270 --> 00:03:54,720
so here we have b alvin drew and steve

101
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:56,280
bowen

102
00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:58,560
uncharacteristically speechless actually

103
00:04:02,149 --> 00:04:00,239
they can't talk because they're wearing

104
00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:02,159
masks

105
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:06,159
because they're terribly comfortable

106
00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:08,720
and they're starting to uh pre-breathe

107
00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:10,480
oxygen to wash the nitrogen out of their

108
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:12,159
bodies getting ready for their spacewalk

109
00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:13,200
tomorrow

110
00:04:16,150 --> 00:04:14,879
in about a half hour we're going to shut

111
00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:16,160
the door here and they're going to

112
00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:18,239
depress down to uh

113
00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:21,680
about 10.2 psi roughly about 10 000 feet

114
00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:23,280
in altitude and

115
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:25,759
they'll uh spend the night there and uh

116
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:27,360
we'll let them out for a short time in

117
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:28,800
the morning

118
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:30,400
to hit the bathroom and clean up a

119
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:31,840
little bit and then we'll go back in

120
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,080
here and they'll be on masks for that

121
00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:36,080
and once they get back in here we'll get

122
00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:37,680
them all dressed up in their spacesuits

123
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:39,600
and ready to go out the door

124
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:41,360
and our commander has given them all

125
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:43,520
sorts of words of encouragement and also

126
00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:45,120
told that if they do a bad job he won't

127
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,479
let him back in
