00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:03,990
hi i'm nicole stott of the sts-133 crew

2
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,910
hey

3
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:19,990
so

4
00:01:24,310 --> 00:01:22,390
good morning discovery we hope you

5
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:24,320
enjoyed that music that music comes to

6
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:26,720
you from your training team they're very

7
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:28,640
proud of the job you're doing and making

8
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:30,000
them look good

9
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:35,670
well thanks mike good morning to you

10
00:01:39,910 --> 00:01:37,840
guys and uh and thanks to our training

11
00:01:42,789 --> 00:01:39,920
team we've had a just a super training

12
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:42,799
team that did a great job with us and uh

13
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:44,960
and we really enjoyed training and uh

14
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,200
and had a lot of fun with them uh all

15
00:02:32,470 --> 00:01:49,200
the way through the flow so uh thanks to

16
00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:34,150
good morning from inside the payload

17
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:35,599
operations center at the marshall space

18
00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:37,440
flight center i'm heather smith writer

19
00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:39,519
of the nasa education taking up space

20
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:41,680
blog we are excited to ask you questions

21
00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:43,680
chosen by our blog readers today the

22
00:02:47,589 --> 00:02:45,440
first question is for commander scott

23
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:47,599
kelly what are some ways that the work

24
00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:49,360
you do in space can encourage both our

25
00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:50,959
youth and scientists working on the

26
00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:57,670
well i think uh one of the ways we can

27
00:03:02,070 --> 00:02:58,800
encourage

28
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:02,080
kids and and scientists is that we have

29
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:04,480
a incredibly challenging work

30
00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:06,000
environment and a

31
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:08,159
challenging problem building a space

32
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:10,560
station and then and then utilizing it

33
00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:11,920
and the way we do that is through

34
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:13,280
teamwork

35
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:14,080
and

36
00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:16,800
teamwork is critical i think not only

37
00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:19,120
here but getting things accomplished on

38
00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:21,680
the ground so hopefully

39
00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:23,840
in kids and scientists and other

40
00:03:27,830 --> 00:03:25,360
professionals looking at the teamwork

41
00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:27,840
that nasa uses to get things done they

42
00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:30,640
can take inspiration from that and

43
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:32,959
and use that themselves

44
00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:34,720
for whatever they're involved with on

45
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:40,070
great the next question is for katie

46
00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:41,040
coleman

47
00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:42,959
what kinds of experiments are currently

48
00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:44,720
being conducted on the station and how

49
00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:46,400
will the research benefit people on

50
00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:53,830
we're doing some really exciting

51
00:03:59,429 --> 00:03:56,640
experiments in crystal growth in fluid

52
00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:59,439
physics and combustion and sometimes

53
00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:01,120
those things sound like well why would i

54
00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:02,959
want to know about that well combustion

55
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:05,200
it's all about pollution up here where

56
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:07,200
everything is weightless those hot gases

57
00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:10,080
don't rise and we can understand how we

58
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:12,319
can actually look at how things burn and

59
00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:14,480
how pollution products are generated so

60
00:04:18,469 --> 00:04:16,560
we can do combustion research we get to

61
00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:18,479
see for fluid physics we get to see what

62
00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:21,359
liquids really want to do down on earth

63
00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:23,600
gravity actually dictates it's such a

64
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:25,759
big force compared to all the other ones

65
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:27,280
gravity dictates and so we can

66
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:29,040
understand what liquids really want to

67
00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:32,160
do and so many processes on earth are

68
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:34,000
liquids going through pipes everything

69
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:36,400
that you want to play with or that is

70
00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:38,960
that is made and manufactured is liquid

71
00:04:42,390 --> 00:04:40,479
flowing through a pipe and making a

72
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:42,400
product so we learn a lot about how to

73
00:04:48,070 --> 00:04:44,080
make things on earth by experimenting

74
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:50,550
okay for commander lindsey how has the

75
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:52,160
station changed since you were first

76
00:05:01,830 --> 00:04:59,670
well the the station is probably on the

77
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:01,840
inside and the outside about three times

78
00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:03,840
bigger than the last time i was here uh

79
00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:06,560
when i was here last time we had the u.s

80
00:05:11,029 --> 00:05:08,880
lab and the airlock and

81
00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:11,039
and the russian segment um but since

82
00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:13,039
then uh the russians have added uh i

83
00:05:17,830 --> 00:05:15,520
guess three modules uh we've we've added

84
00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:17,840
the uh module we're in here now the uh

85
00:05:22,469 --> 00:05:20,880
the the japanese module the columbus

86
00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:22,479
module of course the

87
00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:24,880
multi-purpose module that we just added

88
00:05:27,909 --> 00:05:26,560
we have a couple of transfer vehicles

89
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:27,919
here that we didn't have before we've

90
00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:30,320
added an additional two additional nodes

91
00:05:34,629 --> 00:05:32,160
and the cupola

92
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:34,639
and it's a magnificent place now i when

93
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:36,639
i first opened the hatches and floated

94
00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:39,360
in a few days ago after docking i was

95
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:41,440
just shocked at the size of the station

96
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:42,880
additionally we've

97
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:45,120
added three more solar arrays since i

98
00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:47,120
was here and so even coming up to

99
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:48,320
rendezvous

100
00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:49,759
looking out and seeing the station it

101
00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:51,360
looked like almost a totally different

102
00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:53,280
place so it has changed dramatically and

103
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:54,000
i'm

104
00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:55,840
it's really excited

105
00:06:00,790 --> 00:05:58,080
exciting for all of us to see the the

106
00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:00,800
space station completely assembled

107
00:06:03,909 --> 00:06:02,080
great thank you

108
00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:03,919
this is joe charbonnet i'm an intern

109
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:05,680
from georgia tech and my question is for

110
00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:08,160
colonel bowe a fellow ramblin wreck

111
00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:09,840
what role do you think that robots will

112
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:12,080
play in the future of space exploration

113
00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:19,670
go jackets

114
00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:22,000
i think uh robots will take a more and

115
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:24,880
more a much bigger role as time goes on

116
00:06:28,870 --> 00:06:26,720
just like computers if i had someone

117
00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:28,880
back in the 60s and 70s what

118
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:30,479
what would the role be of computers in

119
00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:32,240
the average person's life most people

120
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:34,240
probably said not a whole lot but now we

121
00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:35,600
have computers and everything so i think

122
00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:37,919
robots is the same way and that's

123
00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:40,080
robots will allow us we'll have a good

124
00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:42,479
synergy between the human and the robot

125
00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:43,919
and they'll be able to do things that we

126
00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:46,240
consider mundane or dangerous like going

127
00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:47,680
into smoke-filled compartments and

128
00:06:51,589 --> 00:06:49,520
that's the purpose of a robonaut r2 that

129
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:51,599
we have up here is to start looking at

130
00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:53,280
those tasks and trying to refine them

131
00:06:58,390 --> 00:06:55,680
and optimize them so i see a bigger role

132
00:07:01,189 --> 00:06:58,400
as time continues for robonaut

133
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:01,199
and robotics

134
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:02,880
okay back to heather this question is

135
00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:05,520
for aldrue how well does reduced gravity

136
00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:07,280
flight prepare you for what it's like to

137
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:16,710
well the short answer is very useful i'm

138
00:07:19,749 --> 00:07:18,080
preparing for space we have a number of

139
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:19,759
different things we can use

140
00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:21,680
we have the neutral buoyancy laboratory

141
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:23,360
the pool that helps us but it doesn't

142
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,400
necessarily

143
00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:26,319
give us that free-flowing feel because

144
00:07:28,710 --> 00:07:27,840
the water is viscous and it resists our

145
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:28,720
motion

146
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:30,160
we also have virtual reality

147
00:07:34,070 --> 00:07:32,080
laboratories which give us a good visual

148
00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:34,080
sense of what it's like to be in space

149
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:35,759
but it doesn't also doesn't all it

150
00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:37,280
doesn't give us that same the dynamics

151
00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:38,080
of

152
00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:42,880
the reduced gravity flights give you all

153
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:44,800
that you are weightless just like you'd

154
00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:46,960
be in orbit for brief periods of time so

155
00:07:51,510 --> 00:07:48,560
you can get a sense of you know how

156
00:07:55,189 --> 00:07:51,520
things can move around freely without

157
00:07:59,350 --> 00:07:57,510
this question is for steve bowen how has

158
00:08:00,869 --> 00:07:59,360
greater internet connectivity and social

159
00:08:11,589 --> 00:08:00,879
media affected the space flight

160
00:08:14,869 --> 00:08:13,749
sorry about the delay

161
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:14,879
well that's actually an interesting

162
00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:17,440
question because i actually spent 14

163
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:20,080
years in submarine force where we had

164
00:08:23,909 --> 00:08:22,479
zero internet connection

165
00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:23,919
and so

166
00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:25,360
the similarities between space flight

167
00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:27,840
and submarines uh

168
00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:31,120
is very real and this communication up

169
00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:32,880
here with the

170
00:08:37,829 --> 00:08:35,360
internet with the ability to tweet

171
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:37,839
it's all about communication and

172
00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:40,000
communication

173
00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:44,949
some deception as well you know just

174
00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:47,680
like the internet is full of information

175
00:08:51,910 --> 00:08:49,279
but it's not necessarily the knowledge

176
00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:51,920
it's data it's

177
00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:53,920
information but it's not real knowledge

178
00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:56,399
it's not real action you know tweeting

179
00:09:01,430 --> 00:08:59,279
provides little bits and glimmers of

180
00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:01,440
data and little hints and information

181
00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:03,360
but unless you're actually there and

182
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:04,720
they have the ability to perform some

183
00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:06,160
action

184
00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:08,240
you know it can give you a slight sense

185
00:09:11,190 --> 00:09:10,000
of it but you really need to be there in

186
00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:11,200
any of these communication forms

187
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:12,880
regardless whether it's

188
00:09:17,350 --> 00:09:14,880
social media or whatever term you want

189
00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:17,360
to use now for modern communication

190
00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:18,959
so it's

191
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:22,080
it can lead to the

192
00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:24,480
missed idea this misapprehension that

193
00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:26,000
you have control over something when you

194
00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:27,120
don't so you don't want to be running

195
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:29,040
your life on the internet from here you

196
00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:30,640
actually need to be someplace to do

197
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:33,279
something so while it helps bring people

198
00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:34,000
in

199
00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:38,959
and of itself it's not sufficient to

200
00:09:41,750 --> 00:09:40,000
replace

201
00:09:45,509 --> 00:09:41,760
you know space flight or any other

202
00:09:49,829 --> 00:09:47,990
okay this question is for mike barrett

203
00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:49,839
what do you think is the greatest legacy

204
00:09:59,829 --> 00:09:57,590
well that's a great question with a

205
00:10:01,910 --> 00:09:59,839
really big answer you know the space

206
00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:01,920
shuttle has become such an icon of human

207
00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:03,920
space flight and i think that's well

208
00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:05,040
deserved

209
00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:06,959
if you look at it you have a the biggest

210
00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:09,360
thing is really a broad-based knowledge

211
00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:12,240
base of how to work in space as a space

212
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:14,240
medicine guy i look at the hundreds of

213
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:16,000
human spaceflight experiences we have

214
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:18,160
off the shuttle and that's what you need

215
00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:20,160
to really solidify your your knowledge

216
00:10:23,430 --> 00:10:21,760
of how the human reacts to the short

217
00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:23,440
term space flight the shuttle has given

218
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:24,240
us

219
00:10:29,990 --> 00:10:26,720
and beyond that we've got

220
00:10:32,150 --> 00:10:30,000
propulsion robotics hypersonic flight

221
00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:32,160
physics of low earth orbit i mean the

222
00:10:36,069 --> 00:10:33,600
space shuttle has just given us a

223
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:36,079
tremendous knowledge base of how to do

224
00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:37,680
business in space so i think that's

225
00:10:45,269 --> 00:10:43,750
okay for nicole stott what would life in

226
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:45,279
space be like without the use of

227
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:52,710
well i think very simply it would be

228
00:10:57,190 --> 00:10:54,720
a lot more difficult

229
00:10:58,790 --> 00:10:57,200
if we just look at the space station as

230
00:11:01,430 --> 00:10:58,800
an example whether it's

231
00:11:03,350 --> 00:11:01,440
assembly or the eva tasks that we have

232
00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:03,360
or some of the

233
00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:05,040
what might be thought of today because

234
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:06,399
of robotics

235
00:11:10,710 --> 00:11:08,160
simple maintenance tasks that we have on

236
00:11:13,509 --> 00:11:10,720
the outside of the vehicle it would be a

237
00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:13,519
lot more difficult if we didn't have

238
00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:15,600
the robotic arms that we use to

239
00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:18,240
manipulate both our eva crew members and

240
00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:20,560
the hardware that we have outside

241
00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:22,160
and i think that's just one simple

242
00:11:28,310 --> 00:11:24,880
example of how robotics has helped us uh

243
00:11:32,069 --> 00:11:30,389
for commander lindsey what do you do for

244
00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:32,079
fun and microgravity and do you have any

245
00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:39,430
yeah we call those stupid astronaut

246
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:40,640
tricks and

247
00:11:44,389 --> 00:11:42,640
i have several that i'm not very good at

248
00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:44,399
but uh

249
00:11:47,509 --> 00:11:46,240
and i have the bruises to show for it

250
00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:47,519
but uh

251
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:49,440
you know just uh you can just see one of

252
00:11:54,389 --> 00:11:52,320
our crew members just floated away uh

253
00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:54,399
you see scott's uh doing a little flip

254
00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:55,600
for you

255
00:11:59,990 --> 00:11:57,680
so we can do that all day long what's

256
00:12:01,350 --> 00:12:00,000
really interesting is uh

257
00:12:04,069 --> 00:12:01,360
i'll give you a little physics lesson

258
00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:04,079
here uh is that when you throw a ball on

259
00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:05,760
the earth and play catch or something

260
00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:08,160
like that you you have to actually loft

261
00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:10,639
that ball for uh because gravity will

262
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:12,880
cause that ball to drop

263
00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:14,560
and and we do it subconsciously just

264
00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:16,079
because we're used to living in one g

265
00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:17,600
when you come up here in space the first

266
00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:19,839
time you try to throw a ball or

267
00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:22,240
or any item to another crew member you

268
00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:23,920
invariably will throw it over that

269
00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:25,760
person's head because you are used to

270
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:27,440
lofting all the time so the one of the

271
00:12:32,069 --> 00:12:30,160
biggest challenges in just moving around

272
00:12:34,470 --> 00:12:32,079
and floating through the modules is to

273
00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:34,480
not loft yourself so that you don't slam

274
00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:36,160
into the top of uh wherever you're

275
00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:37,440
traveling but

276
00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:39,440
but you never get tired of playing in

277
00:12:44,470 --> 00:12:41,200
microgravity and learning how to move

278
00:12:45,829 --> 00:12:44,480
around and do things

279
00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:45,839
thank you all so much for joining us

280
00:12:56,069 --> 00:12:54,310
you're welcome and uh thanks for uh

281
00:12:58,470 --> 00:12:56,079
joining us we uh we enjoyed your

282
00:12:59,829 --> 00:12:58,480
questions

283
00:13:01,509 --> 00:12:59,839
uh for your earlier question about the

284
00:13:04,629 --> 00:13:01,519
abnc brackets

285
00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:04,639
um we do expect to install all of those

286
00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:10,550
but that's not the question stan we have

287
00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:12,320
installed all of those

288
00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:14,240
and the question is uh i think there

289
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:16,240
might be some spots that don't have them

290
00:13:31,829 --> 00:13:17,920
does that mean that there's more called

291
00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:33,430
excellent all right you're standing in

292
00:13:37,829 --> 00:13:36,160
front of uh one of our glacier units and

293
00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:37,839
i just want you to confirm for me that

294
00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:39,839
uh you did see me removing that and

295
00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:42,000
transferring it with one on the station

296
00:13:45,509 --> 00:13:43,760
i do see that and i see serial number

297
00:13:46,629 --> 00:13:45,519
zero zero three for confirmation

298
00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:46,639
excellent you didn't just swap the

299
00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:48,399
stickers i did not swap the stickers i

300
00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:50,320
swapped the units good call and we're

301
00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:52,240
getting ready to do some transfers into

302
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:02,150
now we're entering into the lab module

303
00:14:05,910 --> 00:14:04,320
the us lab module

304
00:14:09,269 --> 00:14:05,920
and down on the deck

305
00:14:10,870 --> 00:14:09,279
we'll find i believe

306
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:10,880
dr mike barrett would be in the

307
00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:12,720
commander steve lindsey little people

308
00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:14,800
called to um

309
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:15,920
make them out right here but what

310
00:14:20,230 --> 00:14:17,600
they're doing is they have just

311
00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:20,240
transferred this big large rack

312
00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:23,040
from our pmm the new module that was

313
00:14:25,829 --> 00:14:24,160
installed

314
00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:25,839
and they transferred it here into the

315
00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:27,680
lab module for uh

316
00:14:32,550 --> 00:14:30,240
operation i believe this has another

317
00:14:33,990 --> 00:14:32,560
refrigerator in it and some other one

318
00:14:36,629 --> 00:14:34,000
that says wrenches

319
00:14:39,430 --> 00:14:36,639
some other science lockers as well

320
00:14:41,189 --> 00:14:39,440
all right this is paulo nescoli

321
00:14:43,030 --> 00:14:41,199
hello one of our very gracious hosts

322
00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:43,040
here on the space station

323
00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:46,720
and he's working with the csacps

324
00:14:51,509 --> 00:14:48,240
these are some little units that we use

325
00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:51,519
to monitor things like our oxygen

326
00:14:56,710 --> 00:14:55,279
carbon monoxide and and other things in

327
00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:56,720
the air here to make sure that we're

328
00:15:00,150 --> 00:14:58,320
safe and he's getting those all ready so

329
00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:00,160
we can swap some out and take some back

330
00:15:04,389 --> 00:15:02,160
is that correct yeah that's correct

331
00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:04,399
exactly we are checking all the ones we

332
00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:06,800
have a bunch of those on the station

333
00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:09,040
some here some of the soyuz some on the

334
00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:11,600
russian uh segment and we check all of

335
00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:12,880
them make sure we have everything

336
00:15:16,230 --> 00:15:13,839
working

337
00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:16,240
and we'll give you back whatever it does

338
00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:17,839
all right and we'll take i'm getting

339
00:15:22,310 --> 00:15:20,320
good thank you

340
00:15:26,069 --> 00:15:22,320
oh the alvin drew

341
00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:26,079
coming out of the newest and as we know

342
00:15:29,829 --> 00:15:27,839
right now final

343
00:15:31,509 --> 00:15:29,839
u.s module

344
00:15:32,870 --> 00:15:31,519
to be attached to the international

345
00:15:34,949 --> 00:15:32,880
space station

346
00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:34,959
what's going on and down in there today

347
00:15:38,790 --> 00:15:36,880
we're installing brackets

348
00:15:40,790 --> 00:15:38,800
brackets brackets

349
00:15:41,990 --> 00:15:40,800
brackets for racks all right because

350
00:15:43,110 --> 00:15:42,000
there's a lot of rack sound in there

351
00:15:45,749 --> 00:15:43,120
aren't there a lot of racks a lot of

352
00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:45,759
rack spaces down there

353
00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:48,000
so this is a nice big new closet kind of

354
00:15:51,590 --> 00:15:49,920
storage area yep

355
00:15:53,110 --> 00:15:51,600
all right and we're gonna move things

356
00:15:56,470 --> 00:15:53,120
from the station in here and take some

357
00:16:00,790 --> 00:15:56,480
stuff back um

358
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:08,949
nice music

359
00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:10,949
and back in the corner

360
00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:13,040
there he is

361
00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:14,880
steve bowen

362
00:16:23,030 --> 00:16:17,600
working hard on a bracket

363
00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:24,870
it's just like a saturday afternoon in

364
00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:27,920
the garage all right thank you steve

365
00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:37,829
the lovely katie coleman entering the

366
00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:39,759
pmm

367
00:16:43,189 --> 00:16:41,839
with tools ooh maybe it's the right

368
00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:43,199
tools

369
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:54,550
it's got nicole transferring some very

370
00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:57,360
cold stuff all right

371
00:17:04,789 --> 00:16:59,199
don't stick your tongue on

372
00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:06,150
these are some of the cold packs that

373
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:08,880
come from our minus 80 degree laboratory

374
00:17:12,949 --> 00:17:10,240
freezer

375
00:17:15,669 --> 00:17:12,959
we're going to be using to bring it down

376
00:17:19,510 --> 00:17:17,829
our morning rush right here it's our

377
00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:19,520
only weather we have here on the space

378
00:17:30,870 --> 00:17:27,829
with you scott and crew and we'll start

379
00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:30,880
off questions with robert perlman

380
00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:33,200
hi robert perlman with collectspace.com

381
00:17:38,150 --> 00:17:34,960
with a question for commander steve

382
00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:38,160
lindsey and his uh discovery crewmates

383
00:17:42,549 --> 00:17:40,320
outside of times when the media like

384
00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:42,559
myself ask about this being discovery's

385
00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:43,760
last mission

386
00:17:47,350 --> 00:17:45,840
how prevalent has the finality of this

387
00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:47,360
flight been during the course of your

388
00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:49,360
mission have there been specific times

389
00:17:57,669 --> 00:17:51,200
where the legacy and history of the

390
00:18:01,270 --> 00:17:59,270
well that's a that's a difficult

391
00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:01,280
question um

392
00:18:05,110 --> 00:18:03,200
we've been very busy during our mission

393
00:18:07,029 --> 00:18:05,120
as all shuttle missions are in space

394
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:07,039
station missions and so mostly we've

395
00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:09,760
been probably spent spending 95 of our

396
00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:12,880
time to 99 on just doing the work and

397
00:18:16,070 --> 00:18:14,720
and getting the work done and and so

398
00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:16,080
when you're really busy like that you're

399
00:18:19,590 --> 00:18:17,520
focusing on doing the tasks doing the

400
00:18:21,510 --> 00:18:19,600
task correctly making sure you uh you

401
00:18:23,510 --> 00:18:21,520
get everything done how it's supposed to

402
00:18:25,029 --> 00:18:23,520
done and don't miss anything

403
00:18:26,549 --> 00:18:25,039
however there are times i know

404
00:18:28,789 --> 00:18:26,559
personally when i've been reflecting

405
00:18:31,029 --> 00:18:28,799
about it being the last mission and what

406
00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:31,039
a wonderful vehicle it is and probably

407
00:18:34,710 --> 00:18:32,559
you know we were coming up and docking

408
00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:34,720
and when you look out the cupola windows

409
00:18:38,390 --> 00:18:36,400
you can look right into discovery's

410
00:18:40,230 --> 00:18:38,400
payload bay and see the wings and see

411
00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:40,240
discovery written on the wings and times

412
00:18:45,669 --> 00:18:42,720
like that i really reflect about uh what

413
00:18:48,070 --> 00:18:45,679
a great vehicle it's been 39 missions uh

414
00:18:50,470 --> 00:18:48,080
nearly one year on orbit and uh think

415
00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:50,480
about all the things that that vehicle

416
00:18:54,470 --> 00:18:52,720
has done and and uh it's just really

417
00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:54,480
inspiring to me and and kind of

418
00:18:57,990 --> 00:18:55,679
bittersweet

419
00:18:59,909 --> 00:18:58,000
and and quite frankly sad that knowing

420
00:19:02,789 --> 00:18:59,919
that when we land that will be it for

421
00:19:08,470 --> 00:19:05,190
thank you and and to follow up on that

422
00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:08,480
a question for steve bowen and al drew

423
00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:10,000
they say a picture is worth a thousand

424
00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:12,320
words and through your helmet cam we got

425
00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:14,320
to see uh when you took a glance at

426
00:19:19,590 --> 00:19:16,320
discovery uh docked to the station

427
00:19:22,150 --> 00:19:19,600
during your spacewalks um would you one

428
00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:22,160
or both of you describe what it was like

429
00:19:27,029 --> 00:19:25,200
to see discovery there and uh and

430
00:19:34,789 --> 00:19:27,039
reflect on its uh

431
00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:36,789
a lot of us captured repeated what steve

432
00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:38,400
had from the cupola just to have

433
00:19:41,990 --> 00:19:39,760
discovery right there and filling our

434
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:42,000
entire visor up close and personal you

435
00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:44,160
realize it's just a magnificent ship

436
00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:46,960
it's huge it's complex just a wonderful

437
00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:48,720
completely capable vehicle

438
00:19:52,390 --> 00:19:50,480
and to be out there

439
00:19:53,990 --> 00:19:52,400
working on around near it's just a

440
00:19:56,710 --> 00:19:54,000
privilege to be part of the legacy of

441
00:20:01,909 --> 00:19:56,720
discovery is just a um i guess it just

442
00:20:06,149 --> 00:20:03,830
this is gera dahmer the german aerospace

443
00:20:08,149 --> 00:20:06,159
center and space expo association

444
00:20:10,070 --> 00:20:08,159
question for el true what was the most

445
00:20:17,990 --> 00:20:10,080
difficult and the most exciting moment

446
00:20:22,070 --> 00:20:20,070
that's easy they were both the same uh

447
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:22,080
when i first exited the airlock on my

448
00:20:25,669 --> 00:20:24,320
first eva uh we were over top the

449
00:20:28,470 --> 00:20:25,679
jungles it looked like it was maybe

450
00:20:30,310 --> 00:20:28,480
south america the amazon basin somewhere

451
00:20:32,470 --> 00:20:30,320
just beautiful the clouds the river

452
00:20:34,310 --> 00:20:32,480
valleys down there all the greenery and

453
00:20:35,669 --> 00:20:34,320
i had to remind myself that i had work

454
00:20:36,789 --> 00:20:35,679
to do and i couldn't just take in the

455
00:20:38,310 --> 00:20:36,799
scenery

456
00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:38,320
so it's exciting and it was difficult to

457
00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:40,000
tear my eyes away from that and actually

458
00:20:44,549 --> 00:20:41,760
focus on getting things ready for our

459
00:20:49,029 --> 00:20:47,110
question for paolo you accomplished

460
00:20:51,029 --> 00:20:49,039
about half of your long duration mission

461
00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:51,039
what was your most challenging task and

462
00:21:01,110 --> 00:20:52,960
did you have any surprises and what was

463
00:21:05,669 --> 00:21:03,430
well it's been a pleasure so far here

464
00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:05,679
we've been spent uh yeah two months uh

465
00:21:10,950 --> 00:21:07,520
expedition 26

466
00:21:13,190 --> 00:21:10,960
and uh i think the most challenging

467
00:21:15,430 --> 00:21:13,200
time here is not there is not really a

468
00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:15,440
time i mean it's the challenge is when i

469
00:21:18,950 --> 00:21:16,960
look at a procedure for the first time

470
00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:18,960
it looks very complex and i try to

471
00:21:23,029 --> 00:21:20,880
understand and interpret it try to do it

472
00:21:24,710 --> 00:21:23,039
without making mistakes and sometimes i

473
00:21:25,510 --> 00:21:24,720
do

474
00:21:27,350 --> 00:21:25,520
so

475
00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:27,360
i think those are the for me are the

476
00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:30,480
most challenging times but

477
00:21:35,669 --> 00:21:32,960
as usual with the familiarity we're

478
00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:35,679
repeating things things get familiar and

479
00:21:39,909 --> 00:21:38,240
we get to do it with no problems and of

480
00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:39,919
course we always have the

481
00:21:47,750 --> 00:21:42,000
ground control mission control helping

482
00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:49,510
this is jill tulk representing the

483
00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:52,080
cohasset mariner in massachusetts a

484
00:21:56,390 --> 00:21:54,240
question for the east coast steve

485
00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:56,400
what has been the most challenging part

486
00:22:05,110 --> 00:21:58,320
and the most rewarding part of your

487
00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:07,110
i think the most challenging part was

488
00:22:10,950 --> 00:22:09,120
trying to get up to speed to understand

489
00:22:12,950 --> 00:22:10,960
the evas and then

490
00:22:14,549 --> 00:22:12,960
uh even more so trying to get that to

491
00:22:16,230 --> 00:22:14,559
speed with everything else that goes on

492
00:22:17,909 --> 00:22:16,240
on a shuttle flight and where my tasks

493
00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:17,919
would be and what they were and how

494
00:22:21,510 --> 00:22:19,600
familiar i was with them and how much

495
00:22:23,750 --> 00:22:21,520
more training i had to have so

496
00:22:24,870 --> 00:22:23,760
that was uh clearly the most difficult

497
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:24,880
part of it

498
00:22:28,230 --> 00:22:26,480
uh

499
00:22:30,950 --> 00:22:28,240
the the best part really was you know

500
00:22:32,870 --> 00:22:30,960
getting to to work with the crew it's uh

501
00:22:34,789 --> 00:22:32,880
four of my classmates from

502
00:22:36,149 --> 00:22:34,799
uh 2000 and

503
00:22:38,789 --> 00:22:36,159
commander steve lindsey and that's been

504
00:22:40,549 --> 00:22:38,799
great great crew just having the ability

505
00:22:42,149 --> 00:22:40,559
to spend time with them it's been

506
00:22:44,870 --> 00:22:42,159
fantastic and then getting up here with

507
00:22:47,750 --> 00:22:44,880
the iss crew it's been really the best

508
00:22:52,710 --> 00:22:50,070
thanks for the good word stevo now a

509
00:22:55,750 --> 00:22:52,720
question for the west coast steve and

510
00:22:57,669 --> 00:22:55,760
for eric beau what good bow and anecdote

511
00:23:05,990 --> 00:22:57,679
from this week could you share with

512
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,669
we're consulting hang on

513
00:23:16,470 --> 00:23:14,230
i i i think the favorite uh our favorite

514
00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:16,480
uh steve bowen story for uh for this

515
00:23:22,149 --> 00:23:18,720
mission so far was uh i'm sure there are

516
00:23:24,710 --> 00:23:22,159
more to come um was uh when uh when

517
00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:24,720
steve was taking a pump module off of uh

518
00:23:30,390 --> 00:23:27,360
off of a a transporter on the on the

519
00:23:32,310 --> 00:23:30,400
truss segment uh eva and mike barrett

520
00:23:34,070 --> 00:23:32,320
and scott kelly were driving him on the

521
00:23:35,750 --> 00:23:34,080
robotic arm

522
00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:35,760
about the time they released that pump

523
00:23:40,789 --> 00:23:38,320
module um which about a uh

524
00:23:42,390 --> 00:23:40,799
several hundred pounds for steve to uh

525
00:23:44,789 --> 00:23:42,400
to take in his arm so they could fly him

526
00:23:46,950 --> 00:23:44,799
over to where it belonged um the the

527
00:23:49,669 --> 00:23:46,960
entire uh space station robotic arm

528
00:23:52,470 --> 00:23:49,679
crashed and uh which means he was stuck

529
00:23:54,390 --> 00:23:52,480
there holding this uh payload for

530
00:23:56,549 --> 00:23:54,400
not for for what seemed like a really

531
00:23:58,950 --> 00:23:56,559
long time for him but actually uh the

532
00:24:00,870 --> 00:23:58,960
crew did a great job reconfiguring to an

533
00:24:02,950 --> 00:24:00,880
alternate to robotic workstation to get

534
00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:02,960
it back alive pretty quickly but steve

535
00:24:06,549 --> 00:24:04,320
was stuck there for probably i don't

536
00:24:07,510 --> 00:24:06,559
know 30 35 minutes holding this pump

537
00:24:10,149 --> 00:24:07,520
module

538
00:24:12,310 --> 00:24:10,159
loose and so it gave us an opportunity

539
00:24:14,310 --> 00:24:12,320
to uh to joke with him and kind of make

540
00:24:18,230 --> 00:24:14,320
fun of him while he was out there stuck

541
00:24:22,230 --> 00:24:20,310
uh mark caro for aviation week and i

542
00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:22,240
have a couple of questions the first is

543
00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:23,840
for scott kelly could you sort of

544
00:24:27,830 --> 00:24:25,520
explain how the

545
00:24:30,070 --> 00:24:27,840
extra time that discovery is spending at

546
00:24:34,549 --> 00:24:30,080
the space station benefits the station

547
00:24:40,070 --> 00:24:37,909
well in the original plan they were

548
00:24:41,669 --> 00:24:40,080
not going to have much involvement in

549
00:24:44,789 --> 00:24:41,679
getting uh

550
00:24:46,789 --> 00:24:44,799
pmm basically emptied out of a lot of

551
00:24:48,870 --> 00:24:46,799
the hardware that needs to be disposed

552
00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:48,880
of on htv so when they were going to

553
00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:50,000
leave

554
00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:52,960
uh we were going to really be in a uh

555
00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:55,520
time crunch to get

556
00:25:00,710 --> 00:24:57,840
all this you know all these metal

557
00:25:02,950 --> 00:25:00,720
structures and foam and stuff that we

558
00:25:04,630 --> 00:25:02,960
want to dispose of in htv because htv

559
00:25:06,789 --> 00:25:04,640
has to leave at a certain time so by

560
00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:06,799
having the uh

561
00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:09,520
the extension gives us two extra days of

562
00:25:14,149 --> 00:25:11,120
six people which is a lot of crew time

563
00:25:17,029 --> 00:25:14,159
to get all that stuff or or some of it

564
00:25:18,230 --> 00:25:17,039
uh done uh before they leave and then it

565
00:25:20,789 --> 00:25:18,240
kind of

566
00:25:22,789 --> 00:25:20,799
you know it just helps maximize our time

567
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:22,799
uh post undocking for things like

568
00:25:26,710 --> 00:25:25,200
science and

569
00:25:28,870 --> 00:25:26,720
you know other activities we have to

570
00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:28,880
perform onboard the space station on a

571
00:25:34,470 --> 00:25:31,039
daily basis

572
00:25:39,350 --> 00:25:37,269
we're working very hard inside the

573
00:25:42,070 --> 00:25:39,360
leonardo

574
00:25:43,669 --> 00:25:42,080
module because it came in a flight

575
00:25:46,230 --> 00:25:43,679
configuration so

576
00:25:47,669 --> 00:25:46,240
everything is fastened uh in a way to

577
00:25:49,990 --> 00:25:47,679
secure it

578
00:25:51,269 --> 00:25:50,000
for launch so we're removing

579
00:25:54,789 --> 00:25:51,279
all the

580
00:25:57,590 --> 00:25:55,590
and

581
00:26:00,390 --> 00:25:57,600
so that we can store it in the japanese

582
00:26:02,549 --> 00:26:00,400
module that's going to be leaving soon

583
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:02,559
so we're using all the astronauts

584
00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:04,640
including the uh discovery crew that are

585
00:26:21,750 --> 00:26:06,080
staying here another couple of days to

586
00:26:27,430 --> 00:26:24,310

00:26:29,750 --> 00:26:27,440
it's 150 years of the unity of italy

588
00:26:32,549 --> 00:26:29,760

589
00:26:35,350 --> 00:26:32,559
the international space station

590
00:26:51,430 --> 00:26:35,360
an event that's so important for the

591
00:26:55,510 --> 00:26:53,029

592
00:26:56,950 --> 00:26:55,520

italian product

596
00:27:06,470 --> 00:27:05,120
seeing italy from up here is

597
00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:06,480

605
00:27:28,549 --> 00:27:25,760
point of view

606
00:28:03,110 --> 00:27:28,559
