72
00:08:42,149 --> 00:08:40,399
on sts-112 back in 2002 and then she had

four and a half months on the space

74
00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:44,720
station a few years back so she's our

station expert

76
00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:49,120
and her biggest task is as load master

77
00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:50,959
on this mission we've got a lot of stuff

78
00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:53,040
to bring up the station and then bring

79
00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:56,240

84
00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:06,399
family since we've seen a lot of you

85
00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:08,399
guys during the training flow and we've

86
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:09,839
talked in the past with you about how

87
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:12,320
we're the tip of a very large iceberg of

88
00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:14,080
people involved that get

89
00:09:20,230 --> 00:09:17,680
missions ready and 99 of the success of

90
00:09:22,310 --> 00:09:20,240
any mission is in the planning and this

91
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:22,320
particular mission uh our biggest

92
00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:24,480
challenge is logistics

93
00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:26,560
and we've had a great team putting

94
00:09:31,269 --> 00:09:28,320
together not only what we should take

95
00:09:32,870 --> 00:09:31,279
and bring back on the mplm but also how

96
00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:32,880
we're going to handle it on orbit all

97
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:34,959
the transfer involved all of the

98
00:09:38,630 --> 00:09:37,120
complicated you know move things from

99
00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:38,640
point a to point b without losing

100
00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:40,240
anything and and keeping it all

101
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:41,680
organized and i just want to take a

102
00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:44,080
moment to thank all of those people uh

103
00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:45,680
who have already put so much sweat and

104
00:09:50,070 --> 00:09:48,240
tears into getting the mplm ready not

105
00:09:52,310 --> 00:09:50,080
only the planning team in houston the

106
00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:52,320
operations team in houston but the cargo

107
00:09:56,550 --> 00:09:54,640
people here in florida we've visited

108
00:09:57,990 --> 00:09:56,560
them several times and with all of the

109
00:09:59,269 --> 00:09:58,000
strange foam requirements we've had

110
00:10:00,870 --> 00:09:59,279
they've done a great job getting the

111
00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:00,880
vehicle packed and also the hardware

112
00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:02,720
processing people here in florida who

113
00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:04,399
have allowed us to intrude on their work

114
00:10:08,069 --> 00:10:06,320
from time to time to look at the mplm

115
00:10:10,150 --> 00:10:08,079
and make sure we understand it they're a

116
00:10:11,509 --> 00:10:10,160
great team of people and this mission

117
00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:11,519
