1
00:00:11,509 --> 00:00:09,270
flight day nine of the flight of space

2
00:00:13,669 --> 00:00:11,519
shuttle discovery was a day that saw

3
00:00:15,829 --> 00:00:13,679
most of the activity take place inside

4
00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:15,839
the newest pressurized module of the

5
00:00:20,390 --> 00:00:17,680
international space station the

6
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:20,400
permanent multi-purpose module which was

7
00:00:25,189 --> 00:00:22,240
installed on the underside of the unity

8
00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:25,199
node earlier this week the module that's

9
00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:27,439
approximately the size of the european

10
00:00:33,670 --> 00:00:30,240
columbus laboratory came with more than

11
00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:33,680
three tons of materials packed inside

12
00:00:38,310 --> 00:00:36,480
that has to be unpacked and part of the

13
00:00:40,069 --> 00:00:38,320
reason that extra days were added to

14
00:00:41,910 --> 00:00:40,079
discovery's docked time at the

15
00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:41,920
international space station was to

16
00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:44,559
provide the six shuttle crew members two

17
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:46,879
more days so that material could be

18
00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:48,960
unpacked and distributed around the

19
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:50,879
space station to the locations where

20
00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:52,480
it's destined to go

21
00:00:56,310 --> 00:00:54,000
and so that the shuttle crew members

22
00:00:59,510 --> 00:00:56,320
could assist their station colleagues in

23
00:01:02,389 --> 00:00:59,520
outfitting the pmm in getting the racks

24
00:01:05,109 --> 00:01:02,399
reconfigured into the configuration that

25
00:01:06,789 --> 00:01:05,119
they need to be in for long-term life on

26
00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:06,799
orbit

27
00:01:12,469 --> 00:01:08,720
oh the alvin drew

28
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:12,479
coming out of the newest and as we know

29
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,320
right now final

30
00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:16,320
u.s module

31
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:17,920
to be attached to the international

32
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:19,360
space station

33
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:21,360
what's going on and down in there today

34
00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:23,360
we're installing brackets

35
00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:25,200
brackets brackets

36
00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:27,280
brackets for racks all right because

37
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:28,400
there's a lot of rack sound in there

38
00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:29,600
aren't there a lot of racks a lot of

39
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:32,159
rack spaces down there

40
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:34,400
so this is a nice big new closet kind of

41
00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:36,320
storage area yep

42
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:38,000
all right and we're gonna move things

43
00:01:40,789 --> 00:01:39,520
from the station in here and take some

44
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:40,799
stuff back

45
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:42,880
um

46
00:01:47,200 --> 00:02:01,350
nice music

47
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:03,990
working hard on a bracket

48
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:06,640
he's gonna have to say a few words to us

49
00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:09,520
do it

50
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:11,280
it's just like a saturday afternoon in

51
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:14,319
the garage all right thank you steve

52
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:24,309
the lovely katie coleman entering the

53
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:26,239
pmm

54
00:02:29,589 --> 00:02:28,239
with tools ooh maybe it's the right

55
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:29,599
tools

56
00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:31,440
well we're trying

57
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:32,560
in the

58
00:02:37,990 --> 00:02:35,440
milfy to glacier transfer of samples

59
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:38,000
it's cold very cold

60
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:39,760
and uh it's got some ice packs we're

61
00:02:43,110 --> 00:02:42,000
gonna put these in this little bag here

62
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:43,120
and then we're gonna collect some

63
00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:45,760
samples and move them out of

64
00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:47,360
melfi the big freezer on the space

65
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:49,040
station and over to the little freezer

66
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:50,480
that we just moved on to the space

67
00:02:54,309 --> 00:02:52,800
shuttle spring home

68
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:54,319
okay back at melfi here's one of the

69
00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:59,990
very refreshing a little frost like a

70
00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:01,760
cool mountain stream we're back in the

71
00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:02,720
pmm

72
00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:05,120
there's action going on in here there's

73
00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:07,599
so much action look every corner every

74
00:03:11,430 --> 00:03:09,040
corner you go to

75
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:11,440
there's somebody working

76
00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:12,720
on a rack

77
00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:14,560
this is al again

78
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:16,400
i'm not doing anything he's not doing

79
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:22,790
look he's still in that same corner

80
00:03:30,550 --> 00:03:27,990
it's a beautiful thing he finds ways to

81
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:30,560
occupy himself

82
00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:33,440
not doing anything don't tell anyone

83
00:03:36,309 --> 00:03:34,879
unbelievable

84
00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:36,319
minutes and minutes that i've almost got

85
00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:38,159
one out of six

86
00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:39,519
and then

87
00:03:43,270 --> 00:03:41,280
okay

88
00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:43,280
all right we're in the lab again

89
00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:44,799
and one of the questions we're getting a

90
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:47,840
lot is where is robonaut

91
00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:49,360
well robonaut

92
00:03:56,149 --> 00:03:52,319
is in here this is his packing box we've

93
00:03:58,149 --> 00:03:56,159
moved it from the pmm which was the new

94
00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:58,159
module that we brought up where he was

95
00:04:04,229 --> 00:03:59,200
for

96
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:04,239
oh i don't know at least four months

97
00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:05,920
back at kennedy space center while

98
00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:07,439
waiting for launch

99
00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:08,959
so i'm sure

100
00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:11,599
that robonaut is anxious to get out of

101
00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:12,959
this box

102
00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:14,959
either today or tomorrow or far or the

103
00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:17,040
next day one of these days robonaut will

104
00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:19,600
be set free

105
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:21,680
for commander lindsay what do you do for

106
00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:23,360
fun in microgravity and do you have any

107
00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:25,919
special tricks you like to do

108
00:04:29,749 --> 00:04:27,600
yeah we call those stupid astronaut

109
00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:29,759
tricks and uh i have several that i'm

110
00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:32,560
not very good at but uh

111
00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:34,479
and i have the bruises to show for it

112
00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:35,840
but uh

113
00:04:39,189 --> 00:04:37,600
flight day nine also saw several of the

114
00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:39,199
crew members take time for an

115
00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:41,759
educational event with students at

116
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:43,759
nasa's marshall space flight center in

117
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:45,360
huntsville alabama

118
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:47,840
and late in the cruise morning all 12

119
00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:49,680
crew members shuttle and station crew

120
00:04:54,230 --> 00:04:52,080
members alike gathered together for a

121
00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:54,240
joint news conference to respond to

122
00:04:58,390 --> 00:04:56,000
questions about the progress of their

123
00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:58,400
flight and the future of human space

124
00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:00,960
exploration posed by reporters all

125
00:05:04,629 --> 00:05:02,880
around the united states as well as

126
00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:04,639
those in italy

127
00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:05,520
and

128
00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:09,199
points this out is that

129
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:11,440
this space station here now is the

130
00:05:17,590 --> 00:05:14,960
largest pressurized volume in space in

131
00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:17,600
history it's it's huge i mean i i use a

132
00:05:21,189 --> 00:05:19,440
word my son uses all the time which is

133
00:05:23,350 --> 00:05:21,199
ginormous um

134
00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:23,360
we have 12 people up here now and

135
00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:25,840
honestly if we spread ourselves out you

136
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:28,160
could spread across this vehicle and

137
00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:30,080
you know not see another person it's

138
00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:32,320
it's that big i think volume wise

139
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:33,759
equivalent to

140
00:05:39,749 --> 00:05:36,320
the interior of a 747 or a little bit

141
00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:39,759
bigger and it's just really really

142
00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:41,759
impressive to know that

143
00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:44,960
as a volume and a total volume workspace

144
00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:46,960
we can use every single one of the walls

145
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:48,720
and every single one of these modules in

146
00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:50,000
a way that

147
00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:51,840
we just can't do on the ground and so it

148
00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:53,600
makes for a really wonderful resource

149
00:05:56,469 --> 00:05:54,320
for

150
00:05:57,909 --> 00:05:56,479
science and living and
