hi i'm steve lindsey commander of

2
00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:25,510
good morning discovery

3
00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:27,840
that was city of blinding lights by you

4
00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:28,960
too

5
00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:30,560
and that comes from you from your

6
00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:32,079
crewmate on the earth

tim copra

8
00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:36,079
that was going to be tim's wake up song

9
00:01:52,830 --> 00:01:38,560
and he asked us to play that

10
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:55,270
space the discovery crew joins us from

11
00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:57,600
the space station they're orbiting 220

12
00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:59,600
miles above earth so we will have a

13
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:01,439
little bit of delay but you guys look

14
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:03,360
great it's commander steve lindsey eric

19
00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:13,599
see all of you this morning uh let me

20
00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:15,200
start with commander lindsey you guys

21
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:17,280
launched thursday you got to the space

22
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:19,200
station on saturday as we said this is

23
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:21,040
going to be the final mission what is it

24
00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:28,550
well so far uh the the mission has been

25
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:31,280
fantastic we've uh we've accomplished

26
00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:33,280
most of our major objectives already we

27
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:34,879
had two successful spacewalks

28
00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:36,560
accomplished all those objectives plus a

29
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:38,560
whole bunch of extra what we call get

30
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:41,760
aheads we installed the last uh

31
00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:44,080
scheduled us pressurized module to the

32
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:46,319
space station we installed a external

33
00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:48,640
stowage platform with critical spares

34
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:50,319
for the space station i've been

35
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:51,680
transferring and working a lot of

36
00:02:56,550 --> 00:02:53,680
science as well as well as some

37
00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:56,560
logistics and cargo transfers so so far

38
00:03:00,149 --> 00:02:58,480
the mission has gone just absolutely

39
00:03:01,670 --> 00:03:00,159
spectacular we couldn't be happier with

40
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:01,680
it and looking forward to a couple more

41
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:03,040
days up here on our beautiful

42
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:06,000
international space station

43
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:07,440
the commander you are going to be the

44
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:09,360
pilot when you bring this thing in for

45
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:12,000
its final landing ever

46
00:03:16,869 --> 00:03:13,760
the pilot you'll be the commander pilot

47
00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:16,879
uh eric bowe is going to be uh riding

48
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:18,879
shotguns so you two are gonna bring this

49
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:21,280
thing in uh eric i wanna ask you when

50
00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:22,959
you bring that down and you hear those

51
00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:25,519
final words from mission control to say

52
00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:27,920
uh successful landing of the space sta

53
00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:29,680
the space shuttle uh what what do you

54
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:37,270
well we'll be glad to be back on earth

55
00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:39,200
and with as the final landing i think

56
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:41,120
you said it before is it's going to be

57
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:43,360
bittersweet you know the the shuttle

58
00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:44,879
it's amazing the

59
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:46,959
discovery looks like it's flying its

60
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:48,640
first flight and

61
00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:49,760
it'll be

62
00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:52,000
a time that when we get to you know

63
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:54,480
there's a huge team that is involved in

64
00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:56,400
maintaining discovery on the ground so

65
00:04:01,750 --> 00:03:59,599
it's a huge pride for the 30 years

66
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:01,760
plus of the shuttles flying

67
00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:10,149
that really is i'm we're just seeing the

68
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:11,599
pictures right now it's amazing alvin i

69
00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:13,200
want to ask you you got to do a special

70
00:04:19,749 --> 00:04:14,959
experiment a message in a bottle

71
00:04:23,749 --> 00:04:21,749
a message in a bottle experiment was a

72
00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:23,759
commissioned by jacks of the japanese

73
00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:25,520
space agency where they wanted to

74
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:28,000
capture a bit of outer space and a glass

75
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:30,240
tube to bring back to put on display

76
00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:32,320
throughout japan so my job was to go out

77
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,479
there and open up this bottle and

78
00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:36,080
capture some space

79
00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:38,160
actually just the vacuum of space in

80
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:40,080
this and seal it back up to bring back

81
00:04:48,629 --> 00:04:45,990
okay i don't know how much of that you

82
00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:48,639
got but uh essentially today um we're at

83
00:04:52,230 --> 00:04:49,840
the point where we've completed our

84
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:52,240
major robotics activities and our two

85
00:04:55,749 --> 00:04:54,000
space walks so we'll be working some

86
00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:55,759
more transfer and getting a little time

87
00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:57,360
off hopefully

88
00:05:01,189 --> 00:04:58,960
spend some of that looking out the the

89
00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:01,199
nice panoramic window we have in the

90
00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:07,029
this being the last shuttle mission is

91
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:16,710
well we have the last uh we have the

92
00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:18,400
honor of actually flying the last

93
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:20,240
mission of the good ship discovery

94
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:22,080
there's uh one and possibly two more

95
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:24,400
shuttle missions after us but of course

96
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:26,880
we're seeing a program come to a close

97
00:05:31,029 --> 00:05:28,639
here and to see these shuttles these

98
00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:31,039
beautiful magnificent flying machines

99
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:32,720
and their service life is obviously a

100
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,440
little bit sad for us to see but it is

101
00:05:39,749 --> 00:05:37,280
about time they've lived a very long

102
00:05:41,909 --> 00:05:39,759
time they've had a fabulous success

103
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:41,919
record they've built this magnificent

104
00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:44,080
station they've given us lots of science

105
00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:45,840
and a tremendous amount of experience of

106
00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:48,240
just how to operate in space and more

107
00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:50,320
than anything we look forward to seeing

108
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:52,560
them retire with dignity and bringing on

109
00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:55,840
the next line of spaceships

110
00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:57,520
the crew of space shuttle discovery

111
00:06:01,350 --> 00:05:58,639
thank you for taking time out of your

112
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:01,360
busy mission to talk with us we really

113
00:06:05,189 --> 00:06:03,440
appreciate it i'd like to start with

114
00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:05,199
talking to nicole stock clearwater high

115
00:06:09,189 --> 00:06:07,520
school graduate who's been before on the

116
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:09,199
space station as a resident there for

117
00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:11,280
three months and nicole it is excellent

118
00:06:14,710 --> 00:06:13,039
to be talking with you again i want to

119
00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:14,720
lead off with a question from tom on

120
00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:16,639
facebook he asked if you could bring

121
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:19,280
back one experience from space and share

122
00:06:25,749 --> 00:06:20,880
it with everyone down here what would

123
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:27,189
well i think it would be a combination

124
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:29,120
of two things really

125
00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:30,400
one would be

126
00:06:35,029 --> 00:06:32,560
that we should look at this uh the space

127
00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:35,039
station this just really magnifice

128
00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:38,160
magnificent orbiting spacecraft as

129
00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:40,880
as a true example of what we can do as

130
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:43,919
an international community um

131
00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:46,000
this is a complex machine that's up here

132
00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:47,680
and we have come together as countries

133
00:06:50,870 --> 00:06:49,680
from around the world and and built it

134
00:06:53,189 --> 00:06:50,880
beautifully

135
00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:53,199
and then i think i would also say that

136
00:06:58,790 --> 00:06:56,000
um you can't walk away from here or

137
00:07:01,350 --> 00:06:58,800
float away from here without uh really

138
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:01,360
appreciating what a wonderful planet we

139
00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:02,880
have

140
00:07:06,629 --> 00:07:04,880
there is nothing like the views you get

141
00:07:09,189 --> 00:07:06,639
out the windows here

142
00:07:11,350 --> 00:07:09,199
of our just glowing colorful planet to

143
00:07:13,589 --> 00:07:11,360
make us realize that that we have a very

144
00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:13,599
special place to take care of and it

145
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:15,759
does such a perfect job of providing us

146
00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:16,800
with

147
00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:19,120
what we need to live and survive there

148
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:46,710
and using station on two for the rams

149
00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:50,240
i'm looking at messages and i see uh up

150
00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:52,960
to twenty five zero three zero four

151
00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:55,360
and then uh we skip to zero four one

152
00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:56,800
eight and i'm looking for twenty five

153
00:08:03,749 --> 00:07:58,400
zero three zero nine can you confirm

154
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:07,749
mike we'll double check we thought so

155
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:09,189
okay and you may be absolutely right

156
00:08:11,589 --> 00:08:10,400
it's been a while since i've been

157
00:08:13,589 --> 00:08:11,599
messing with these computers i'm going

158
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,599
to run for the pao event and we'll catch

159
00:08:17,029 --> 00:08:15,440
up with you afterwards

160
00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:17,039
good plan

161
00:08:21,029 --> 00:08:18,720
you know mike i want to ask you this one

162
00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:21,039
you know discovery uh it's been up there

163
00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:22,560
very many times

164
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:23,680
and

165
00:08:27,909 --> 00:08:25,120
we take a look at the miles that

166
00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:27,919
discovery has been on after the 5600

167
00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:29,759
trips that's been around the earth are

168
00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:30,879
there more

169
00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:32,640
leaks shall we say in the sunroof or

170
00:08:38,709 --> 00:08:34,159
there are tears in the upholstery is it

171
00:08:42,310 --> 00:08:40,469
you know it's a great question but uh

172
00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:42,320
inherit and flying in space is that the

173
00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:43,839
hardware has to work pretty well

174
00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:46,160
perfectly right and i think

175
00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:48,160
i think i can safely say that uh

176
00:08:51,829 --> 00:08:50,000
discovery's at the top of her game i

177
00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:51,839
mean she's a very clean vehicle and

178
00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:54,160
she's very well cared for and viciously

179
00:08:58,870 --> 00:08:55,920
defended by the ground crew that that

180
00:09:00,630 --> 00:08:58,880
services her and she is just in pristine

181
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:00,640
shape so no it's it's a wonderful

182
00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:03,519
vehicle to fly on

183
00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:05,200
eric bowe here

184
00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:07,360
i think the thing that

185
00:09:11,190 --> 00:09:09,040
it will really strike home to me when we

186
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:11,200
actually do the walk around when we land

187
00:09:14,550 --> 00:09:13,200
because uh obviously we're concentrating

188
00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:14,560
at the mission at hand occasionally we

189
00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:16,480
think about the the legacy that

190
00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:18,480
discovery has but i think for me after

191
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:20,399
we do the walk around and as nicole said

192
00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:23,040
a tear is going to come to the eye and

193
00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:24,720
the big word that i could describe is

194
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:27,040
with pride i mean it's people that make

195
00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:29,120
the ship all the ships we've had as mike

196
00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:31,200
was saying with discovery we've had a

197
00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:31,920
leg

198
00:09:35,750 --> 00:09:34,160
a line of ships named discovery but it's

199
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:35,760
the people behind those ships that made

200
00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:37,760
the difference and just like that it's

201
00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:39,680
the people that make discovery the space

202
00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:45,829
here's steve bowen inside the quest

203
00:09:49,829 --> 00:09:47,519
airlock on board the international space

204
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:49,839
station those space suits you see there

205
00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:51,040
there's that one in front that's the one

206
00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:52,240
that steve bowen actually used and the

207
00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:54,240
one back behind the camera

208
00:09:57,990 --> 00:09:55,920
their jobs are now done so those two

209
00:09:59,350 --> 00:09:58,000
spacesuits will be transferred back over

210
00:10:13,670 --> 00:09:59,360
to discovery they'll come home aboard

211
00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:14,949
and here's the president of the united

212
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:16,320
states

213
00:10:24,949 --> 00:10:22,230
hello mr president welcome aboard the

214
00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:24,959
international space station well i am

215
00:10:35,829 --> 00:10:31,350
yes sir

216
00:10:38,949 --> 00:10:37,990

personally proud i am of you and all

221
00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:46,880
that you're accomplishing

222
00:10:51,269 --> 00:10:48,959
you know we are always inspired by the

223
00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:51,279
images of you guys at work

224
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:53,519
as you put some of the final pieces in

225
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:55,040
place to make

226
00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:57,600
iss fully operational

227
00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:58,640
and

228
00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:00,480
you are setting such a great example

229
00:11:07,430 --> 00:11:03,839
with your dedication uh your courage

230
00:11:09,430 --> 00:11:07,440
uh your commitment to exploration

231
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:09,440
you know these are traits that

232
00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:11,920
built america and you guys personify

233
00:11:15,430 --> 00:11:13,360
them

234
00:11:16,949 --> 00:11:15,440
and uh colonel lindsey it must be a

235
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:16,959
great honor to be the last commander of

236
00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:18,480
uh

237
00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:23,680
traveled more distance in space and

238
00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:25,200
spent more time in orbit than any of its

239
00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:27,440
peers in the shuttle fleet

240
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:30,880
so it's appropriate that it's

241
00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:32,800
performing this critical and iconic

242
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:34,560
mission

243
00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:36,480
and

244
00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:39,920
adding to the legacy uh by uh by working

245
00:11:43,590 --> 00:11:41,760
on this uh

246
00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:43,600
iss

247
00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:51,509
well thank you sir on behalf on behalf

248
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:52,800
of the crew it's you know it's a real

249
00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:54,959
privilege for us to get to fly discovery

250
00:11:59,110 --> 00:11:57,440
on her final mission and uh

251
00:12:00,870 --> 00:11:59,120
we were actually trying to calculate

252
00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:00,880
with uh now we're going to land on

253
00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:02,720
wednesday and we're calculating we think

254
00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:05,040
that when we land we'll discovery will

255
00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:08,000
have flown in space for 365 days so for

256
00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:10,000
a whole year which is pretty incredible

257
00:12:13,990 --> 00:12:12,720
for a vehicle and uh and she's been into

258
00:12:16,470 --> 00:12:14,000
space uh

259
00:12:18,870 --> 00:12:16,480
i think 38 39 times and that's a pretty

260
00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:18,880
incredible record and and she won't be

261
00:12:22,310 --> 00:12:21,279
forgotten for a long long time we hope

262
00:12:24,550 --> 00:12:22,320
well

263
00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:24,560
that's that's a remarkable remarkable

264
00:12:29,110 --> 00:12:27,440
record and uh i understand that uh

265
00:12:30,949 --> 00:12:29,120
you've got a full compliment of 12

266
00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:30,959
astronauts and cosmonauts that are on

267
00:12:34,470 --> 00:12:32,240
the line and

268
00:12:35,829 --> 00:12:34,480
uh i also understand there's been a lot

269
00:12:37,269 --> 00:12:35,839
of traffic up there

270
00:12:39,190 --> 00:12:37,279
we've got

271
00:12:41,990 --> 00:12:39,200
a vehicle from every partner that flies

272
00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:42,000
to the iss right so we've got u.s russia

273
00:12:46,310 --> 00:12:44,000
european space agency

274
00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:46,320
and japan

275
00:12:50,629 --> 00:12:48,000
yeah that's pretty good metaphor for how

276
00:12:52,629 --> 00:12:50,639
we need to live and work together

277
00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:52,639
productively in space and maybe back

278
00:12:57,509 --> 00:12:54,320
here on earth

279
00:12:59,030 --> 00:12:57,519
so uh it's just a it's a great uh

280
00:13:01,590 --> 00:12:59,040
testament to the dedication of you and

281
00:13:03,190 --> 00:13:01,600
your colleagues uh making iss function

282
00:13:05,509 --> 00:13:03,200
so smoothly and and that's something

283
00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:05,519
that uh all the countries involved can

284
00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:11,990
well well thank you for that sir and and

285
00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:13,920
you're right we have uh modules from

286
00:13:19,670 --> 00:13:17,200
every uh every nation participating and

287
00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:19,680
uh it is a testimony that

288
00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:21,120
you know countries that can work

289
00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:23,360
together and build something and and we

290
00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:25,440
really wish everybody come come up here

291
00:13:28,790 --> 00:13:26,480
and see this and they get an

292
00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:28,800
appreciation for

293
00:13:32,629 --> 00:13:30,800
that all of these countries put together

294
00:13:35,430 --> 00:13:32,639
the probably the most complex thing ever

295
00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:35,440
built and built it in space built it all

296
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:36,880
and put it all together and you know

297
00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:38,720
what everything fit the first time we

298
00:13:43,269 --> 00:13:40,800
tried it which is uh which is pretty

299
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:43,279
incredible uh engineering feat and just

300
00:13:46,790 --> 00:13:44,959
a testimony of the cooperation between

301
00:13:49,269 --> 00:13:46,800
all the countries involved

302
00:13:52,710 --> 00:13:49,279
now i i understand that you guys have a

303
00:13:55,030 --> 00:13:52,720
new crew member uh this r2 robot

304
00:13:56,629 --> 00:13:55,040
so uh

305
00:13:57,590 --> 00:13:56,639
you know i don't know whether you guys

306
00:13:59,590 --> 00:13:57,600
are

307
00:14:02,949 --> 00:13:59,600
putting r2 to work

308
00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:02,959
uh but uh he's got a lot of attention

309
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:05,279
and uh you know that that helps inspire

310
00:14:09,430 --> 00:14:07,360
some uh some young people when it comes

311
00:14:12,629 --> 00:14:09,440
to science and technology so

312
00:14:14,550 --> 00:14:12,639
uh uh yeah i i i are you guys making

313
00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:14,560
them do chores up there washing the

314
00:14:21,590 --> 00:14:16,639
dishes or something or does he have uh

315
00:14:26,189 --> 00:14:24,150
well sir uh we actually just uh just

316
00:14:28,069 --> 00:14:26,199
pulled them out of our uh the permanent

317
00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:28,079
multi-purpose module that we just

318
00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:30,240
delivered installed two days ago i think

319
00:14:35,509 --> 00:14:33,360
we pulled him out yesterday and he's

320
00:14:37,430 --> 00:14:35,519
off camera right there right next to uh

321
00:14:39,990 --> 00:14:37,440
the camera just off camera he's still in

322
00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:40,000
packing foam so we hope to uh to get him

323
00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:42,560
out shortly and uh it's gonna be fun to

324
00:14:46,550 --> 00:14:44,720
see how uh how he works

325
00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:46,560
he's still unpacking foam that's a shame

326
00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:52,710
he flew all that way and you guys aren't

327
00:15:00,150 --> 00:14:58,470
yeah you know the the poor guy's been

328
00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:00,160
locked in that foam for about four

329
00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:02,160
months now and uh every once while we

330
00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:04,160
hear kind of some scratching sounds from

331
00:15:09,269 --> 00:15:06,720
inside and uh maybe uh you know let me

332
00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:09,279

spent uh untold effort in making the

340
00:15:29,509 --> 00:15:27,360
space shuttle discovery a unique part of

341
00:15:31,670 --> 00:15:29,519
our history and space and uh

342
00:15:34,069 --> 00:15:31,680
congratulations to all the other

343
00:15:34,949 --> 00:15:34,079

the crew on space shuttle discovery and

364
00:16:37,269 --> 00:16:35,279
most of their international space

365
00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:37,279
station colleagues

366
00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:40,240
i've gotten together for a joint meal in

367
00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:42,480
the unity module of the space station

368
00:16:48,069 --> 00:16:45,600
the crew started showing us

369
00:16:50,949 --> 00:16:48,079
giving us a rare look at their

370
00:16:53,269 --> 00:16:50,959
activities during pre-sleep
