4
00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:12,000
international space station well i am

5
00:00:16,790 --> 00:00:13,040
glad to be

6
00:00:22,790 --> 00:00:18,310

you know we are always inspired by the

15
00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:39,120
images of you guys at work uh as you put

16
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:40,800
some of the final pieces in place to

17
00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:41,760
make

18
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:44,559
uh iss fully operational

19
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:45,600
and

20
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:47,440
you are setting such a great example

21
00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:49,360
with your dedication

22
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:50,719
your courage

23
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:54,399
uh your commitment to exploration

24
00:00:58,869 --> 00:00:56,399
you know these are traits that

25
00:00:59,910 --> 00:00:58,879
built america and you guys personify

26
00:01:02,310 --> 00:00:59,920
them

27
00:01:03,910 --> 00:01:02,320
uh and uh colonel lindsey it must be a

28
00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:03,920
great honor to be the last commander of

29
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:05,439
uh

30
00:01:12,149 --> 00:01:10,640
traveled more distance in space and

31
00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:12,159
spent more time in orbit than any of its

32
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:14,400
peers in the shuttle fleet

33
00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:15,280
so

34
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:17,840
it's appropriate that it's uh

35
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:19,680
performing this critical and iconic

36
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:21,520
mission

37
00:01:26,789 --> 00:01:23,360
and

38
00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:26,799
adding to the legacy uh by uh by working

39
00:01:30,469 --> 00:01:28,720
on this uh

40
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:30,479
iss uh

41
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:38,149
well thank thank you sir on behalf on

42
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:39,520
behalf of the crew it's you know it's a

43
00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:41,360
real privilege for us to get to fly

44
00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:44,000
discovery on her final mission and uh

45
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:46,079
uh we were actually trying to calculate

46
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:47,840
with uh now we're gonna land on

47
00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:49,680
wednesday and we're calculating we think

48
00:01:54,789 --> 00:01:51,759
that when we land we'll uh discovery

49
00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:54,799
will have flown in space for 365 days so

50
00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:56,560
for a whole year which is pretty

51
00:02:00,870 --> 00:01:58,799
incredible for a vehicle and uh and

52
00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:00,880
she's been into space uh

53
00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:03,439
i think 38 39 times and that's a pretty

54
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:05,840
incredible record and and she won't be

55
00:02:09,270 --> 00:02:08,160
forgotten for a long long time we hope

56
00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:09,280
well

57
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:11,520
that's that's a remarkable remarkable

58
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:14,560
record and uh i understand that you've

59
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:16,560
got a full complement of 12 astronauts

60
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,920
and cosmonauts that are on the line and

61
00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:21,520
i also understand there's been a lot of

62
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:24,239
traffic up there uh we've got uh

63
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:26,080
a vehicle from every partner that flies

64
00:02:30,949 --> 00:02:28,959
to the iss right so we've got u.s russia

65
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:30,959
european space agency

66
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:32,480
and japan

67
00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:33,280
uh

68
00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:34,879
yeah that's pretty good metaphor for how

69
00:02:37,589 --> 00:02:35,599
we

70
00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:37,599
need to live and work together

71
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:39,599
productively in space and maybe back

72
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:41,280
here on earth

73
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:42,160
so

74
00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:44,480
it's just a it's a great uh

75
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:46,000
testament to the dedication of you and

76
00:02:49,589 --> 00:02:47,200
your colleagues

77
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:49,599
making iss function so smoothly and

78
00:02:52,869 --> 00:02:51,040
that's something that

79
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:52,879
all the countries involved can be proud

80
00:03:00,790 --> 00:02:58,949
well well thank you for that sir and and

81
00:03:01,750 --> 00:03:00,800
you're right we have uh modules from

82
00:03:07,509 --> 00:03:01,760
every

83
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:07,519
a testimony that uh you know countries

84
00:03:10,869 --> 00:03:08,879
that can work together and build

85
00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:10,879
something and and we really wish

86
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:12,879
everybody come come up here and see this

87
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:15,120
and they get an appreciation for

88
00:03:19,589 --> 00:03:17,760
um that all these countries put together

89
00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:19,599
the probably the most complex thing ever

90
00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:22,400
built and built it in space built it all

91
00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:23,840
and put it all together and you know

92
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:25,599
what everything fit the first time we

93
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:27,760
tried it which is uh which is pretty

94
00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:30,239
incredible uh engineering feat and just

95
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:31,920
a testimony of the cooperation between

96
00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:33,760
all the countries involved

97
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:36,000
now i i i understand that uh you guys

98
00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:39,680
have a new crew member uh this r2 robot

99
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:41,599
so uh

100
00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:43,360
uh you know i don't know whether you

101
00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:44,480
guys are

102
00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:46,560
putting r2 to work

103
00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:49,920
uh but uh he's got a lot of attention

104
00:03:54,309 --> 00:03:52,239
and uh you know that that helps inspire

105
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:54,319
some uh some young people when it comes

106
00:03:59,350 --> 00:03:56,400
to science and technology so

107
00:04:01,429 --> 00:03:59,360
uh uh yeah i i i i i i are you guys

108
00:04:03,589 --> 00:04:01,439
making him do chores up there washing

109
00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:03,599
the dishes or something or does he have

110
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:11,110
well sir uh we actually just uh just

111
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:13,120
pulled him out of our uh the permanent

112
00:04:17,189 --> 00:04:15,040
multi-purpose module that we just

113
00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:17,199
delivered installed two days ago i think

114
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:20,320
we pulled him out yesterday and he's

115
00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:22,639
off camera right there right next to the

116
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:24,400
camera just off-camera he's still in

117
00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:26,479
packing foam so we hope to

118
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:28,960
get him out uh shortly and uh it's gonna

119
00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:31,680
be fun to see how uh how he works

120
00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:33,520
he's still unpacking foam that's a shame

121
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:39,670
he flew all that way and you guys aren't

122
00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:45,749
yeah you know the poor guy's been locked

123
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:47,680
in that foam for about four months now

124
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:49,680
and uh every once while we hear kind of

125
00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:52,560
some scratching sounds from inside and

126
00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:54,639
maybe you know let me out let me out but

127
00:05:00,150 --> 00:04:57,600
we're not sure all right well uh well

128
00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:00,160

129
00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:02,800
soon but uh look i just want to uh

space shuttle discovery a a unique part

135
00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:16,080
of our history and space and

136
00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:18,880
uh congratulations to all the other

137
00:05:24,150 --> 00:05:21,919
