wants to know commander kelly how fast

23
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:55,760
do you travel on launch and

24
00:01:02,389 --> 00:00:58,399
return and how fast you guys travel in

25
00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:05,109
so on liftoff we obviously start on the

26
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:08,159
pad and we go from zero to seventeen

27
00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:09,760
thousand five hundred miles an hour and

28
00:01:12,469 --> 00:01:11,119
eight and a half minutes

29
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:12,479
and then we pretty much stay at that

30
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:14,560
speed for us for

31
00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:17,680
about 16 days and then to get home all

32
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:19,439
that energy we put in on liftoff we have

33
00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:21,520
to take back out but instead of doing an

34
00:01:25,990 --> 00:01:23,119
eight and a half minutes we'll slow down

35
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:26,000
over a period of about 40 minutes or so

36
00:01:30,069 --> 00:01:27,520
where we'll then glide to a landing in

37
00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:32,789
and uh haldor from iceland wants to know

38
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:34,799
uh mission specialist

39
00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:37,439
think describe what you see in space in

40
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,270
beautiful planet earth

41
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:51,510
that's great uh for mission specialist

42
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:53,600
uh chambertop courtney from texas wants

43
00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:54,560
to know

44
00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:56,560
has there ever been a moment in all of

45
00:01:59,749 --> 00:01:58,320
your space career where all of those

46
00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:59,759
hours of training

47
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:01,759
hadn't quite prepared you for it for

48
00:02:12,229 --> 00:02:03,200
example the other day when your

49
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:14,710
you know i think in fact um probably the

50
00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:16,560
opposite i mean the probably the most

51
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:18,160
intense thing i have ever done is that

52
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:21,360
spacewalk a few days ago and um you know

53
00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:23,280
it's such an overwhelming sensation to

54
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:24,800
be out there and see the earth between

55
00:02:29,589 --> 00:02:28,000
your legs 220 miles below and in every

56
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:29,599
other direction you know trillions of

57
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:31,760
miles to the next thing uh you know

58
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:33,280
unless it's the sun which is a little

59
00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:34,239
closer

60
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:35,360
but

61
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:37,440
uh you know what the training is so good

62
00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:40,160
that that you know we just focus on uh

63
00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:41,920
our next step and we we

64
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:44,000
we uh wherever we are we kind of know

65
00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:45,840
exactly what to do at the next step and

66
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:46,640
uh

67
00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:49,760
we thought about in terms of

68
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:52,000
contingencies uh in fact you know the

69
00:02:56,550 --> 00:02:54,480
alarm that i got in my suit um it may

70
00:02:58,949 --> 00:02:56,560
have sounded like a you know something

71
00:03:01,110 --> 00:02:58,959
of concern to the to you know the

72
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:01,120
audience listening on nasty tv but i was

73
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:03,040
expecting that alarm because we already

74
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:04,800
knew that that suit had a potential

75
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:06,560
problem like that and we knew exactly

76
00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:08,239
what we were going to do so

77
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:09,920
training is really terrific to prepare

78
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:15,430
and the next question for commander

79
00:03:20,229 --> 00:03:17,760
kelly brandy from oklahoma wants to know

80
00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:20,239
what's your favorite pastime in space

81
00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:31,270
well i think it has to be for me is just

82
00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:32,560
flying

83
00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:34,480
through the space station

84
00:03:38,789 --> 00:03:36,879
uh when you leave the airlock of the

85
00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:38,799
space shuttle from one end of the space

86
00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:40,319
station to the other

87
00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:42,159
takes a couple minutes

88
00:03:45,509 --> 00:03:43,760
you know maybe not that depends on how

89
00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:45,519
fast you go obviously but

90
00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:49,120
it's uh really an amazing experience to

91
00:03:53,589 --> 00:03:51,519
just fly through a module

92
00:03:55,589 --> 00:03:53,599
so it's it's not described exactly as

93
00:03:57,429 --> 00:03:55,599
floating i mean you're literally

94
00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:57,439
you know flying through the air and

95
00:04:02,470 --> 00:03:59,599
that's you know i could do that all day

96
00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:02,480
every day have i had the chance

97
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:04,319
what does that mean next question for

98
00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:06,640
mission specialists think who is your

99
00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:19,110
well elizabeth i can't pick one i think

100
00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:20,959
we all stand on the shoulders of giants

101
00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:22,400
each mission we get

102
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:24,720
better we go a little bit farther on in

103
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:28,160
exploration so i think myspace heroes

104
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:30,400
are all the crews that came before us

105
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:32,720
and uh hopefully we can uh provide

106
00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:34,240
adequate shoulders for the crews that

107
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:39,030
well looks like that's all the time we

108
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:41,360
have uh now but thanks so much you guys

109
00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:44,160
we wish you a safe return home and

110
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:46,479

opportunity after all your time in space

136
00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:00,479
to go up there on board the space

137
00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:09,029
well it was an amazing launch we were

138
00:06:12,309 --> 00:06:10,720
sitting there in florida the clouds were

139
00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:12,319
coming over we were wondering if we were

140
00:06:16,950 --> 00:06:14,160
going to get canceled because of weather

141
00:06:18,950 --> 00:06:16,960
and then the clouds uh gently dissipated

142
00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,960
and eight and a half minutes later

143
00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:20,639
with a big kick in the pants we were up

144
00:06:25,749 --> 00:06:23,039
in space and boy was it amazing

145
00:06:27,189 --> 00:06:25,759
not everyone who is on board the shuttle

146
00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:27,199
at the time has a great view out the

147
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:29,360
window but i understand you did have a

148
00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:36,309
yeah i was lucky to uh sit up on the

149
00:06:41,189 --> 00:06:38,160
flight deck i was sitting behind uh

150
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:41,199
pilot box johnson and i could see out

151
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:43,840
his window and uh it's different than my

152
00:06:46,629 --> 00:06:45,120
earlier missions when i flew on the

153
00:06:48,150 --> 00:06:46,639
soyuz because we were in the payload

154
00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:48,160
shroud so we couldn't see anything for a

155
00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:50,160
long time but here we could see the

156
00:06:54,629 --> 00:06:52,400
clouds race by we could see the

157
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:54,639
beautiful planet get smaller and smaller

158
00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:56,960
and it was a really amazing sight

159
00:07:01,350 --> 00:06:59,280
you have logged so many hours on space

160
00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:01,360
walks uh you doing any of that this time

161
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:07,830
you bet in fact we just finished getting

162
00:07:12,070 --> 00:07:10,240
ready for tomorrow's spacewalk our crew

163
00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:12,080

00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:04,639
touch down the next stop for the

188
00:08:12,070 --> 00:08:06,160
endeavor is basically going to be a

189
00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:14,469
yeah it's difficult for us to think of

190
00:08:19,029 --> 00:08:16,240
it that way you know because we're up

191
00:08:20,950 --> 00:08:19,039
here the space station is uh you know

192
00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:20,960
basically assembly complete at this

193
00:08:24,869 --> 00:08:22,879
point and it's almost a million pounds

194
00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:24,879
of hardware it's huge i just uh kind of

195
00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:27,039
like did a video tour the other day and

196
00:08:30,469 --> 00:08:28,319
flew through all the modules there were

197
00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:30,479
12 crew members on board and all these

198
00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:32,000
different modules filled with science

199
00:08:35,430 --> 00:08:33,760
equipment and the shuttle is here and

200
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:35,440
and you look at it from the cupola in

201
00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:37,360
the station and you see this giant space

202
00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:39,440
shuttle attached at one end it's just

203
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:41,039
spectacular you know what we have up

204
00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:42,880
here and what we've accomplished up here

205
00:08:45,829 --> 00:08:44,320
and you know the space shuttle looks

206
00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:45,839
like it belongs

207
00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:47,760
right where it is you know this is a

208
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:49,440
this is a beautiful machine

209
00:08:53,430 --> 00:08:51,440
it performs beautifully and it gets us

210
00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:53,440
up here and brings so much so much

211
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:56,399
useful uh science and payload to orbit

212
00:09:01,509 --> 00:08:58,560
and uh and then back and uh it's going

213
00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:01,519
to be hard for us to you know to uh put

214
00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:03,200
it away in a museum you know but it'll

215
00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:05,200
be it's it's the end of an era you know

216
00:09:08,470 --> 00:09:07,120
and there'll be new vehicles to replace

217
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:08,480
it and those new vehicles will hopefully

218
00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:10,399
allow us to go beyond low earth orbit

219
00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:11,839
and do new and greater things in the

220
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:13,120
future so

221
00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:14,480

00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:13,519
right this morning we're getting a rare

247
00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:15,360

good morning tom well it's always a

254
00:10:33,350 --> 00:10:32,240
great day when you're in orbit around

255
00:10:35,030 --> 00:10:33,360
the earth

256
00:10:37,509 --> 00:10:35,040
it's been a while you know for me three

257
00:10:38,949 --> 00:10:37,519
years since i was last in space and

258
00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:38,959
really enjoying the flight and it's

259
00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:43,670
well i know you guys have a lot on tap

260
00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:45,200
for this particular mission with of

261
00:10:47,829 --> 00:10:46,240
course you know you're going to have

262
00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:47,839
another space walk when it comes to

263
00:10:51,430 --> 00:10:49,440
installing that filter inside the the

264
00:10:53,110 --> 00:10:51,440
austin generation system and you've got

265
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:53,120
a lot of work ahead but is it also kind

266
00:10:56,310 --> 00:10:55,040
of bittersweet knowing that this is it

267
00:11:01,990 --> 00:10:56,320
when it comes to the space shuttle

268
00:11:05,509 --> 00:11:04,150
yeah this is it for endeavor after we

269
00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:05,519
land

270
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:08,560
back in florida hopefully

271
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:09,839
endeavor will

272
00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:13,600
head off to a museum so it's kind of sad

273
00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:15,600
but this mission still i mean we're

274
00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:17,760
halfway through it today

275
00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:20,399
and endeavor has to perform really

276
00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:22,959
really well for us and it has so far

277
00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:24,880
this is an incredible ship

278
00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:26,720
we're all going to be sorry to see them

279
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:29,760
retired but we're also looking forward

280
00:11:35,269 --> 00:11:33,120
to uh you know exploration and the

281
00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:35,279
united states and maybe our

282
00:11:38,949 --> 00:11:37,200
international partners going to other

283
00:11:40,310 --> 00:11:38,959
destinations like back to the moon or

284
00:11:43,990 --> 00:11:40,320
maybe one day going to mars we're

285
00:11:46,870 --> 00:11:45,509

00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:24,560
space shuttle endeavour we hear you loud

300
00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:27,360
and clear how do you hear us

301
00:12:31,829 --> 00:12:30,000
great hi colonel fink i'll start with

302
00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:31,839
you how does it feel to be part of

303
00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:33,600
endeavor's last mission and the second

304
00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:42,629
you know i always you know i was a

305
00:12:46,310 --> 00:12:44,880
little kid back in the berg back in

306
00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:46,320
pittsburgh and i just really always

307
00:12:50,230 --> 00:12:48,160
wanted to fly in the space shuttle and

308
00:12:52,470 --> 00:12:50,240
my nasa career took me to go fly in

309
00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:52,480
space for a whole year flying with the

310
00:12:55,590 --> 00:12:54,160
russians before i had a chance to fly on

311
00:12:57,750 --> 00:12:55,600
the space shuttle and i'll tell you what

312
00:13:00,870 --> 00:12:57,760
it's uh it was worth the wait endeavour

313
00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:00,880
is a beautiful bird it's taking us

314
00:13:05,829 --> 00:13:03,360
through our mission step by step very

315
00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:05,839
very few problems if any and we're

316
00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:07,120
having a great mission so that's what

317
00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:09,040
i'm concentrating on and sure it's

318
00:13:13,430 --> 00:13:10,480
bittersweet that this is endeavour's

319
00:13:17,990 --> 00:13:13,440
last uh last mission but she's doing

320
00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:20,550
great now colonel fink i know you're

321
00:13:24,069 --> 00:13:22,240
high on the list of the people who have

322
00:13:29,190 --> 00:13:24,079
had the most time logged in space how

323
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:31,269
well space it's a it's a great place we

324
00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:34,240
see our beautiful planet earth below and

325
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:36,800
we can fly like superman throughout the

326
00:13:40,949 --> 00:13:38,720
whole space station and and here in the

327
00:13:42,870 --> 00:13:40,959
shuttle and we all we all love it very

328
00:13:46,710 --> 00:13:42,880
much to be here and i'm very privileged

329
00:13:50,949 --> 00:13:48,470
great now i know you've done two space

330
00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:50,959
walks so far how did they go and can you

331
00:14:01,350 --> 00:13:58,870
certainly our crew has done two space

332
00:14:04,069 --> 00:14:01,360
walks so far we have two more to go

333
00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:04,079
the first one we had greg

334
00:14:09,430 --> 00:14:06,000
who's standing right next to me along

335
00:14:12,550 --> 00:14:09,440
with uh with drew feustel and they did

336
00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:12,560
some very important work to take some

337
00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:14,800
science experiments back in and get

338
00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:16,880
ready and help one of our communication

339
00:14:22,150 --> 00:14:19,760
systems uh get an upgrade so to speak

340
00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:22,160
and uh on our second spacewalk we did

341
00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:24,399
some long-term improvements uh for the

342
00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:26,240
space station so that it could last uh

343
00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:28,399
until it's planned life of 2020 and

344
00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:30,560
perhaps beyond so tomorrow we're going

345
00:14:35,670 --> 00:14:33,839
to put a uh some some cabling out to

346
00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:35,680
give the russian uh part of the space

347
00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:38,000
station some more power and on our last

348
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:40,560
spacewalk uh dr shamatov and i will go

349
00:14:46,949 --> 00:14:44,560
out and leave a very long uh truss or i

350
00:14:49,110 --> 00:14:46,959
guess it's a beam on the outside that we

351
00:14:50,629 --> 00:14:49,120
can pick up with the robot arm and help

352
00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:50,639
inspect the space station or put a

353
00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:52,240
person at the end in case we need some

354
00:14:56,389 --> 00:14:54,160
extra reach so it's really exciting a

355
00:14:58,629 --> 00:14:56,399
lot of things are going on spacewalks

356
00:15:01,590 --> 00:14:58,639
are really tough and uh but we got a

357
00:15:07,269 --> 00:15:01,600
great crew so we can do it

358
00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:08,949
