control room at the johnson space center

37
00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:10,160
in houston

38
00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:13,040
as we move into flight day six of

39
00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:14,800
atlantis flight to the international

40
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:16,319
space station

41
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:18,640
the spectacle of yesterday's uh six-hour

42
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:21,040
31-minute spacewalk by mike fossum and

43
00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:22,800
ron garan to

44
00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:25,120
transfer a failed pump module

45
00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:26,400
from

46
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:28,560
a stowage platform on the international

47
00:02:33,030 --> 00:02:30,400
space station back into the payload bay

48
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:33,040
of atlantis for the trip back to earth

49
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:35,120
and the transference of a

50
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:37,840
robotic refueling mission payload from

51
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:40,160
atlantis to the space station for future

52
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:42,480
technology demonstrations along with

53
00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:44,160
other associated work that fossum and

54
00:02:47,589 --> 00:02:46,000
garen accomplished during a textbook

55
00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:47,599
spacewalk yesterday

56
00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:50,080
all of that has morphed into what

57
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:51,920
essentially is a blue-collar day for the

58
00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:54,480
10 crew members on board as we move into

59
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:56,000
the heart of the mission and what this

60
00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:57,680
flight is really all about and that is

61
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:00,080
namely the transfer of almost a year's

62
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:03,760
worth of supplies from atlantis

63
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:06,400
module the rafaello multipurpose

64
00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:09,599
logistics module that was attached

65
00:03:13,589 --> 00:03:11,760
on monday to the earth-facing port of

66
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:13,599
the harmony module of the international

67
00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:15,120
space station through the use of the

68
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:39,350
yeah we're still here

69
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:41,190

87
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:18,720
supportive of the space program ever

88
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:21,440
since the space test group before nasa

89
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:23,520
johnson even existed so i think they

90
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:33,430
absolutely stevie ray thanks a lot

91
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:35,510
good afternoon atlantis you know the

92
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:38,000
launch was a success the docking was

93
00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:40,960
just so emotional for everyone here how

94
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:53,590
i got one word for you really busy

95
00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:54,710
we've

96
00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:58,320
great station hosts up here and we're

97
00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:00,560
just trying to get them all uh stocked

98
00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:06,950
when you're up there is it all work and

99
00:05:18,070 --> 00:05:09,120
no play or do you get some down time to

100
00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:20,070
well we haven't had much down time yet

101
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:21,680
but we're working really hard to try and

102
00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:23,600
get ahead a bit so when we get our half

103
00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:25,600
day off we can actually take the day off

104
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:27,360
and and look out the window the views

105
00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:29,440
from the cupola are truly spectacular

106
00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:31,600
and that's probably where you'll find us

107
00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:32,960
on flight day eight when we have our

108
00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:39,270
are there any mementos that you plan to

109
00:05:55,029 --> 00:05:50,790
uh well i think we we plan to bring more

110
00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:55,039
up and then we do to bring back uh

111
00:05:57,909 --> 00:05:56,639
you know most of the things that are up

112
00:05:59,350 --> 00:05:57,919
here on station we're bringing up for a

113
00:06:01,110 --> 00:05:59,360
reason and they need them but we all

114
00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:01,120
bring some personal mementos on each

115
00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:03,280
shuttle flight and

116
00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:04,960
you know we have them as souvenirs and

117
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:06,240
for folks who have really worked hard

118
00:06:16,390 --> 00:06:13,670
this next question is for pilot doug

119
00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:16,400
hurley we are here in the southern tier

120
00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:19,360
of new york you're a tioga county native

121
00:06:23,749 --> 00:06:22,000
graduate of a wego free academy what

122
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:23,759
does this area in the southern tier of

123
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:30,390
well it's it's my hometown it'll always

124
00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:31,600
be my home

125
00:06:36,629 --> 00:06:34,720
i get back there whenever i can and i

126
00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:36,639
just like to say hi to everybody back

127
00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:44,710
you know this crew you're really an

128
00:06:49,589 --> 00:06:47,199
inspiration to everywhere across the

129
00:06:51,350 --> 00:06:49,599
united states but especially kids what

130
00:07:00,309 --> 00:06:51,360
advice do you have for kids wanting to

131
00:07:04,150 --> 00:07:02,230
well i think our advice would be just uh

132
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:04,160
work really hard in school especially in

133
00:07:07,670 --> 00:07:05,520
science and math because that's very

134
00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:07,680
very important in uh in this business

135
00:07:11,350 --> 00:07:09,120
and and then keep after your dreams you

136
00:07:13,189 --> 00:07:11,360
never know uh you know i dreamed of uh

137
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:13,199
becoming an astronaut a long time ago i

138
00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:14,400
never really thought was possible but i

139
00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:16,720
kept after it and sure enough we were

140
00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:17,919
able to i think a lot of us have the

141
00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:18,960
stories it just takes a lot of

142
00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:27,670
so i've been listening over the last

143
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:29,919
couple days and i really enjoy those

144
00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:32,160
morning songs with the wake up call

145
00:07:36,309 --> 00:07:34,240
where do these come from and how do you

146
00:07:39,350 --> 00:07:36,319
choose i mean you had chumbawamba you've

147
00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:39,360
had elton john you've had coldplay tell

148
00:07:51,670 --> 00:07:49,670
actually normally our families pick out

149
00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:51,680
uh during a normal mission our families

150
00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:53,440
will pick out our wake up music for us

151
00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:54,800
and some of it comes as a little bit of

152
00:07:58,629 --> 00:07:56,800
a surprise this mission is a little

153
00:08:00,550 --> 00:07:58,639
special and that nasa arranged for

154
00:08:01,909 --> 00:08:00,560
several surprise wake up songs from

155
00:08:03,270 --> 00:08:01,919
various different artists and we're

156
00:08:05,189 --> 00:08:03,280
still waiting to hear what the rest of

157
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:05,199
them are but it's been really fun you

158
00:08:07,830 --> 00:08:06,400
know wake up every morning to a

159
00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:07,840
different song and it sort of sets the

160
00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:15,350
what do you plan to do when you get back

161
00:08:18,550 --> 00:08:16,960
i know it's a couple days away and

162
00:08:20,790 --> 00:08:18,560
you're focused on your mission there

163
00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:20,800
right now but any plan for when you

164
00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:22,800
actually touch ground here at home

165
00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:32,790
well i think all of us will probably

166
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:35,599
savor the moment for a few minutes maybe

167
00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:36,959
and then

168
00:08:40,389 --> 00:08:38,560
i think all of us are really looking

169
00:08:42,149 --> 00:08:40,399
forward to getting outside and kind of

170
00:08:44,389 --> 00:08:42,159
sharing it with all the the great folks

171
00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:44,399
at kennedy space center and then

172
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:45,920
a few hours later getting to see our

173
00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:48,080
family and friends i think that's really

174
00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:55,750
mr hurley this question is again for you

175
00:08:59,829 --> 00:08:58,080
you're the last pilot to shuttle these

176
00:09:05,110 --> 00:08:59,839
missions what are your plans where do

177
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:06,870
well uh

178
00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:10,399
my first priority is obviously to be uh

179
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:12,080
to com to complete this mission

180
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:14,080
successfully and uh help out everybody

181
00:09:18,310 --> 00:09:16,399
here on the iss and my crewmates and

182
00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:18,320
then once we get back on the ground uh

183
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:20,480
spend a little time with family

184
00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:23,040
and friends and then from there you know

185
00:09:27,509 --> 00:09:25,760
we'll be working on the next vehicle

186
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:27,519
for nasa we're going to help out our

187
00:09:31,829 --> 00:09:29,760
commercial partners uh so there's a lot

188
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:31,839
to look forward to uh there's a bright

189
00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:39,509
so far this final mission has been

190
00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:41,600
nothing but a success do you see the

191
00:09:48,389 --> 00:09:44,880
last 30 years of nasa being just that a

192
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:50,790
yeah um i'll tell you it's a it's a

193
00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:52,720
fantastic world up here and if i could

194
00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:55,200
convey one uh one message to you it

195
00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:57,519
would be uh when you stand poised about

196
00:10:00,870 --> 00:09:59,200
600 feet underneath the international

197
00:10:03,509 --> 00:10:00,880
space station and look up and see that

198
00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:03,519
grand thing pass over you it is really

199
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:04,399
spectacular

200
00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:06,480
uh you know nasa's past 30 years of

201
00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:08,000
space shuttle you know when it's all

202
00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:09,600
done we have the space station to show

203
00:10:15,910 --> 00:10:11,760
for it we have tremendous observatories

204
00:10:19,509 --> 00:10:17,750
um first off i want to know any this is

205
00:10:21,430 --> 00:10:19,519
for everyone you know the four of you

206
00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:21,440
how does it feel to be part of history

207
00:10:25,829 --> 00:10:23,200
you know being one of the few people to

208
00:10:32,069 --> 00:10:25,839
venture off um into a space shuttle you

209
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:33,910
you know we kind of we we kind of don't

210
00:10:37,990 --> 00:10:35,680
think about it like that this is sort of

211
00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:38,000
our normal job and and occasionally you

212
00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:39,920
just have to stop and and i remember

213
00:10:43,350 --> 00:10:41,839
when i lived here on the space station i

214
00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:43,360
got so much into the work and getting

215
00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:44,800
things done every now and then to stop

216
00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:46,240
and think about where i was it's like oh

217
00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:48,560
my gosh i'm floating in a big huge

218
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:50,720
building you know 200 miles above the

219
00:10:54,470 --> 00:10:52,720
earth and this is really special and

220
00:10:56,150 --> 00:10:54,480
and so you know when you're doing your

221
00:10:58,389 --> 00:10:56,160
day-to-day job you can't really think

222
00:10:59,910 --> 00:10:58,399
about it in those kinds of terms but all

223
00:11:02,069 --> 00:10:59,920
of us are honored to be a part of this

224
00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:02,079
mission and we're doing our best to

225
00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:03,120
leave the station in a good

226
00:11:10,790 --> 00:11:09,110
and do you know what's what's next for

227
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:10,800
nasa at all will there be anything

228
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:18,150
uh yes we're uh uh very hard at work on

229
00:11:22,389 --> 00:11:20,320
that right now the uh nasa is really

230
00:11:24,069 --> 00:11:22,399
looking forward trying to go to the next

231
00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:24,079
level we we're right now the space

232
00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:25,200
shuttle comes here the international

233
00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:27,279
space station will continue to

234
00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:29,040
to man the space station continue to do

235
00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:30,560
research now that the space station is

236
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:33,680
built and beyond that our access to

237
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:35,120
space we're going to try to get a

238
00:11:38,389 --> 00:11:36,720
vehicle that can go beyond low earth

239
00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:38,399
orbit and and we're going to turn over

240
00:11:42,310 --> 00:11:40,480
some of the the flights to the space

241
00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:42,320
station to taxi crew members back and

242
00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:43,440
forth to some of the commercial

243
00:11:47,910 --> 00:11:46,240
providers so um we're kind of trying to

244
00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:47,920
uh transition to a more commercial

245
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:49,519
approach for the low earth orbit but for

246
00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:51,200
the real true exploration beyond low

247
00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:53,200
earth we're trying to develop our own

248
00:11:58,069 --> 00:11:56,240
vehicle to do that

249
00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:58,079
oh wow and um

250
00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:01,440
this question is actually for doug um

251
00:12:04,949 --> 00:12:03,600
this is from corey um out here in

252
00:12:11,269 --> 00:12:04,959
binghamton and he wants to know what

253
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:13,269
well i think it was uh several things it

254
00:12:16,550 --> 00:12:14,560
was you know

255
00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:16,560
college professors that got you

256
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:18,399
interested in a particular subject it

257
00:12:23,269 --> 00:12:20,720
was uh coaches that got you interested

258
00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:23,279
in being part of a team it was uh

259
00:12:27,509 --> 00:12:25,360
you know flying fighters and then being

260
00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:27,519
able to be a test pilot uh you know so

261
00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:28,880
it was a number of different things that

262
00:12:33,430 --> 00:12:30,880
got me interested in it was also a love

263
00:12:35,269 --> 00:12:33,440
of uh airplanes so a lot of different

264
00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:35,279
things led me uh led me up here to the

265
00:12:39,590 --> 00:12:38,399
space station

266
00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:39,600
and this question is for anyone who

267
00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:41,200
wants to answer this is from eli he's a

268
00:12:45,269 --> 00:12:43,200
little boy um out here in vestal and he

269
00:12:47,190 --> 00:12:45,279
wants to know where you guys sleep do

270
00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:47,200
you sleep in bunks on the floor or do

271
00:13:00,069 --> 00:12:58,310
uh well we actually sleep in uh we just

272
00:13:02,310 --> 00:13:00,079
sleep floating in space we have sleeping

273
00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:02,320
bags that will unroll and we'll usually

274
00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:05,120
stretch along a wall or on the ceiling

275
00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:06,480
perhaps but

276
00:13:09,590 --> 00:13:07,680
we'll just stretch in between two

277
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:09,600
locations pull them taut and you climb

278
00:13:12,629 --> 00:13:10,800
into your sleeping bag and sleep like

279
00:13:15,990 --> 00:13:12,639
that it's very comfortable it's a great

280
00:13:18,629 --> 00:13:17,110
and uh

281
00:13:21,269 --> 00:13:18,639
a little girl named mira wants to know

282
00:13:27,990 --> 00:13:21,279
if training is hard to be an astronaut

283
00:13:31,829 --> 00:13:29,910
you know training is is not really hard

284
00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:31,839
it's a lot like being in school you have

285
00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:33,680
a lot of different things to study and

286
00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:35,120
then you know when we go on a mission

287
00:13:38,389 --> 00:13:36,880
it's kind of like our open book test

288
00:13:39,590 --> 00:13:38,399
because we have to demonstrate that we

289
00:13:41,590 --> 00:13:39,600
learned everything that we're supposed

290
00:13:42,870 --> 00:13:41,600
to learn but it's a lot of fun too

291
00:13:45,030 --> 00:13:42,880
because you get to learn different

292
00:13:46,710 --> 00:13:45,040
things every day just like you change

293
00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:46,720
different subjects in your classes at

294
00:13:50,069 --> 00:13:48,480
school we change subjects all the time

295
00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:50,079
so we're learning a vast array of new

296
00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:55,350
and samantha wants to know what kind of

297
00:13:59,509 --> 00:13:57,040
food do you guys eat up there i know

298
00:14:01,990 --> 00:13:59,519
that you'll be having a big feast um you

299
00:14:03,269 --> 00:14:02,000
know with the public nasa's planning so

300
00:14:05,430 --> 00:14:03,279
i guess tell me what that's going to be

301
00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:05,440
like and on a regular basis what kind of

302
00:14:13,189 --> 00:14:11,110
well we have a lot of different kinds of

303
00:14:15,269 --> 00:14:13,199
food we can eat we can

304
00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:15,279
we can have like normal stuff that's

305
00:14:19,030 --> 00:14:16,639
kind of like the army would eat just

306
00:14:20,629 --> 00:14:19,040
kind of uh heat it up and eat it like

307
00:14:21,910 --> 00:14:20,639
today i had tuna noodle casserole we

308
00:14:23,670 --> 00:14:21,920
have other stuff that's dehydrated kind

309
00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:23,680
of like camping food we have some shrimp

310
00:14:27,430 --> 00:14:25,519
cocktail that's pretty popular around

311
00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:27,440
here that we like to eat too so

312
00:14:30,710 --> 00:14:28,880
we have a lot of different variety and

313
00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:30,720
the food is good it's come a long ways

314
00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:31,600
and

315
00:14:35,829 --> 00:14:32,880
it's fun to taste different types of

316
00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:35,839
things we have to eat here

317
00:14:39,509 --> 00:14:38,160
and what's the first thing

318
00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:39,519
you guys plan to do when you come back

319
00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:48,069
well uh

320
00:14:51,350 --> 00:14:49,600
i think we all wouldn't mind taking a

321
00:14:53,110 --> 00:14:51,360
shower uh

322
00:14:54,949 --> 00:14:53,120
once we get back to crew quarters there

323
00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:54,959
at kennedy space center but uh you know

324
00:14:58,389 --> 00:14:57,040
our biggest thing is just to to make

325
00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:58,399
sure that we get to share it with all

326
00:15:02,949 --> 00:15:00,240
the great folks down at kennedy space

327
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:02,959
center and thank them for their 30 years

328
00:15:06,310 --> 00:15:04,480
of work on this

329
00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:06,320
awesome space shuttle vehicle that we

330
00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:11,670
commander ferguson if i can start with

331
00:15:15,990 --> 00:15:14,240
you uh i guess uh today would be oh the

332
00:15:19,030 --> 00:15:16,000
glory of being an astronaut you get to

333
00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:19,040
move stuff into the uh international

334
00:15:22,710 --> 00:15:21,120
space station and drag the garbage out

335
00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:22,720
uh not the most glorious day but the

336
00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:30,150
well i'll tell you you pretty much hit

337
00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:31,360
the nail on the head there that is

338
00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:33,440
exactly what we're doing uh we have we

339
00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:35,120
have a lot of a lot of stuff we need to

340
00:15:39,030 --> 00:15:36,880
supply this international space station

341
00:15:40,470 --> 00:15:39,040
with to sustain them for about a year so

342
00:15:43,269 --> 00:15:40,480
a lot of it's food a lot of it's

343
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:43,279
clothing a lot of it is spare parts and

344
00:15:46,389 --> 00:15:44,720
hauling out in the in the other

345
00:15:48,230 --> 00:15:46,399
direction i wouldn't call it garbage

346
00:15:49,509 --> 00:15:48,240
it's mostly broken things it's things

347
00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:49,519
that need to go back to the ground they

348
00:15:52,389 --> 00:15:50,800
want to take a look at it they want to

349
00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:52,399
know why it failed so they can make make

350
00:15:59,350 --> 00:15:57,990
all right specialist magnus i'd like to

351
00:16:02,310 --> 00:15:59,360
ask you a question

352
00:16:05,189 --> 00:16:02,320
how are you and how are the others from

353
00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:05,199
your observation uh reacting

354
00:16:11,269 --> 00:16:09,120
to uh this being the last shuttle

355
00:16:12,629 --> 00:16:11,279
mission what are the emotions as you

356
00:16:16,629 --> 00:16:12,639
look about knowing that it's not going

357
00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:17,990
well you know that's something we've

358
00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:19,440
been dealing with the whole training

359
00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:21,279
flow we've we've had a lot of last

360
00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:22,880
events you know last training event in

361
00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:24,560
the motion based simulator the last

362
00:16:28,310 --> 00:16:25,920
training event in building nine where

363
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:28,320
our full-scale mockups are the last

364
00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:30,000
interaction with some of the great

365
00:16:34,230 --> 00:16:32,160
people at kennedy space center and as

366
00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:34,240
we've gotten closer and closer to launch

367
00:16:39,509 --> 00:16:34,880
it

368
00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:39,519
think

369
00:16:43,110 --> 00:16:41,839
uh after we get back down to the ground

370
00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:43,120
after landing it's going to hit us

371
00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:44,399
really hard and i think we're all going

372
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:46,240
to have a really hard time leaving the

373
00:16:49,990 --> 00:16:48,240
shuttle and doing the walk around and

374
00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:50,000
greeting the people down there and and

375
00:16:54,150 --> 00:16:52,079
just closing out the program that way i

376
00:16:55,430 --> 00:16:54,160
mean we'll be really excited that the

377
00:16:57,670 --> 00:16:55,440
hopefully the mission went well but

378
00:17:01,590 --> 00:16:57,680
we'll be very sad too because it was a

379
00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:03,829
a pilot hurley a question for you if i

380
00:17:09,510 --> 00:17:07,039
could uh america is watching this space

381
00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:09,520
shuttle mission more intensely than

382
00:17:13,029 --> 00:17:10,720
any in

383
00:17:16,630 --> 00:17:13,039
years many years

384
00:17:18,789 --> 00:17:16,640
is the historic aspect of this mission

385
00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:18,799
on your minds how do you go about your

386
00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:20,480
day with that

387
00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:27,189
uh to be real honest with you i don't

388
00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:29,039
think it is we

389
00:17:31,669 --> 00:17:30,000
you know

390
00:17:33,830 --> 00:17:31,679
i think most of us our whole lives have

391
00:17:36,230 --> 00:17:33,840
been very focused and goal-oriented and

392
00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:36,240
uh this is just one more of those things

393
00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:37,760
that we're doing you know we're so

394
00:17:41,590 --> 00:17:40,240
focused on the task you're doing

395
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:41,600
that particular minute or that

396
00:17:46,950 --> 00:17:44,240
particular hour and then you know task

397
00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:46,960
after task and uh you know eva that we

398
00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:49,120
did yesterday and transfer that we're

399
00:17:52,630 --> 00:17:50,240
doing today

400
00:17:55,029 --> 00:17:52,640
you know it keeps us so focused that we

401
00:17:57,669 --> 00:17:55,039
we tend not to i think look at the big

402
00:17:59,510 --> 00:17:57,679
picture as much and i and i think we're

403
00:18:01,270 --> 00:17:59,520
kind of all telling ourselves that you

404
00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:01,280
know we'll have time to kind of reflect

405
00:18:05,110 --> 00:18:02,720
on this uh

406
00:18:06,549 --> 00:18:05,120
this whole event this whole happening

407
00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:06,559
that we that we've gone through for the

408
00:18:10,070 --> 00:18:08,640
last nine months and and hopefully be

409
00:18:13,270 --> 00:18:10,080
able to share it and articulate it with

410
00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:15,110
and finally for specialist walheim if i

411
00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:18,000
could uh the local boy who made so good

412
00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:20,640
uh i just wanted to ask you uh with that

413
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:23,440
last spacewalk yesterday you're you're

414
00:18:28,870 --> 00:18:26,240
someone who has done several of those uh

415
00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:28,880
as that was going on last one with the

416
00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:31,280
shuttle uh your thoughts and your

417
00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:36,950
well it was a it was a

418
00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:38,240
wonderful sight it was a it was a

419
00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:40,160
pleasure to be a part of it and it was

420
00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:41,440
kind of unique for me because i've been

421
00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:43,360
outside on spacewalks for five times but

422
00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:44,880
it's been about nine years since i've

423
00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:46,720
been inside while the spacewalk is going

424
00:18:50,070 --> 00:18:48,400
on so when those guys come right up to

425
00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:50,080
the window in this spacesuit it's just a

426
00:18:54,789 --> 00:18:52,880
real sci-fi type of look and it was it

427
00:18:55,909 --> 00:18:54,799
was very interesting and it was a it was

428
00:18:57,750 --> 00:18:55,919
a lot of hard work and i was really

429
00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:57,760
proud of the uh the spacewalkers ron

430
00:19:00,549 --> 00:18:58,960
guerin and mike foster they did an

431
00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:00,559
awesome job got all their tasks done and

432
00:19:09,750 --> 00:19:07,190
um and another one for you a specialist

433
00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:09,760
walheim uh now that there are going to

434
00:19:15,190 --> 00:19:12,880
be no more shuttles to fly uh what

435
00:19:16,870 --> 00:19:15,200
becomes of someone who was uh known for

436
00:19:18,310 --> 00:19:16,880
his uh flying on the shuttles what are

437
00:19:21,510 --> 00:19:18,320
you going to be doing next what's up for

438
00:19:24,789 --> 00:19:22,870
well for me i just want to continue to

439
00:19:26,549 --> 00:19:24,799
be involved in in the program at nasa

440
00:19:27,909 --> 00:19:26,559
we've got uh the continuing operations

441
00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:27,919
here on the space station the space

442
00:19:31,510 --> 00:19:30,080
station is now complete uh we can end

443
00:19:33,430 --> 00:19:31,520
the the assembly phase now we're

444
00:19:34,710 --> 00:19:33,440
entering the uh the utilization phase

445
00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:34,720
where we can do that groundbreaking

446
00:19:38,470 --> 00:19:36,080
research to find

447
00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:38,480
new ways to treat diseases find out new

448
00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:40,320
ways to help us to be able to stay in

449
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:42,160
space longer our human body and then

450
00:19:45,110 --> 00:19:43,760
we're also going to try to go beyond low

451
00:19:47,270 --> 00:19:45,120
earth orbit so i think that's really

452
00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:47,280
exciting building a new system to to get

453
00:19:48,870 --> 00:19:48,240
past

454
00:19:50,549 --> 00:19:48,880
the

455
00:19:52,789 --> 00:19:50,559
space station's altitude up to uh you

456
00:19:54,630 --> 00:19:52,799
know the the altitude of the moon or to

457
00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:54,640
uh asteroid or maybe to mars one day and

458
00:19:57,190 --> 00:19:55,919
so we've got to build those systems and

459
00:20:00,150 --> 00:19:57,200
i want to be involved in helping to

460
00:20:04,310 --> 00:20:02,230
well we only have a maybe 20 seconds for

461
00:20:05,909 --> 00:20:04,320
your answer and i i hope that's fair but

462
00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:05,919
i was wondering if you could say to

463
00:20:10,310 --> 00:20:08,799
young people who still think about going

464
00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:10,320
into space we're talking about mars

465
00:20:14,310 --> 00:20:12,400
we're talking about meteors what is it

466
00:20:16,950 --> 00:20:14,320
what gives you the most excitement when

467
00:20:22,149 --> 00:20:16,960
you are up there or going up there where

468
00:20:25,590 --> 00:20:23,510
well i would have to give that two

469
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:25,600
things number one is launch anytime you

470
00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:27,520
get slung off the planet from zero to

471
00:20:30,549 --> 00:20:28,960
seventeen thousand miles an hour and

472
00:20:32,390 --> 00:20:30,559
eight and a half minutes you can't help

473
00:20:34,310 --> 00:20:32,400
but get an adrenaline rush and that is

474
00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:34,320
absolutely spectacular and then when you

475
00:20:38,549 --> 00:20:35,600
get up here just looking back on the

476
00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:38,559
earth 220 miles down and a couple days

477
00:20:42,149 --> 00:20:40,320
ago i had a chance to see california

478
00:20:43,669 --> 00:20:42,159
from space again and i could see the bay

479
00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:43,679
area it was a little bit foggy but i

480
00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:45,840
could see the outline of it and to think

481
00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:48,080
i was a kid down there many years ago

482
00:20:51,190 --> 00:20:49,440
looking up at the airplanes and dreaming

483
00:20:52,470 --> 00:20:51,200
of flying one day and here i am on the

484
00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:52,480
international space station cruising

485
00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:54,480
along at mach 25 it's just amazing and

486
00:20:57,669 --> 00:20:56,240
if i can do it anybody can do it it's it

487
00:20:59,190 --> 00:20:57,679
really is dreams do come true with a

488
00:21:01,990 --> 00:20:59,200
little bit of persistence and some hard

489
00:21:03,669 --> 00:21:02,000
work

490
00:21:05,270 --> 00:21:03,679
all right to all of you thank you so

491
00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:05,280
much america's watching and uh look

492
00:21:09,830 --> 00:21:06,400
forward to seeing you back here next

493
00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:11,990
yeah we we appreciate that and i just

494
00:21:16,390 --> 00:21:14,000
wanted to say hi to all my uh my friends

495
00:21:20,230 --> 00:21:16,400
and uh and and folks i know and my

496
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:25,270
fantastic thanks a lot

497
00:21:35,750 --> 00:21:27,750
atlantis iss this is houston acr that

498
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:37,110
but the crew is busy on board today

499
00:21:41,430 --> 00:21:39,520
along with the expedition 28 crew

500
00:21:43,029 --> 00:21:41,440
doing quite a bit of work of transfer

501
00:21:45,029 --> 00:21:43,039
work inside

502
00:21:46,470 --> 00:21:45,039
ron garan is continuing to work on the

503
00:21:49,590 --> 00:21:46,480
waste and hygiene compartment which is

504
00:21:51,909 --> 00:21:49,600
the station's toilet

505
00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:51,919
he is swapping out some air hoses and

506
00:21:57,110 --> 00:21:53,600
some other components

507
00:21:58,549 --> 00:21:57,120
of that particular device

508
00:22:00,230 --> 00:21:58,559
if you've been following the mission

509
00:22:02,470 --> 00:22:00,240
here on nasa television you know that

510
00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:02,480
the crew reported a sour smell coming

511
00:22:06,789 --> 00:22:04,559
from the area of this

512
00:22:08,789 --> 00:22:06,799
compartment a couple of days ago earlier

513
00:22:10,310 --> 00:22:08,799
this week

514
00:22:11,909 --> 00:22:10,320
this work that garen is doing today is

515
00:22:13,909 --> 00:22:11,919
not directly related to that because the

516
00:22:16,549 --> 00:22:13,919
smell has basically gone away from what

517
00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:16,559
the crew has reported

518
00:22:20,310 --> 00:22:17,840
well what the crew did say is that

519
00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:20,320
they've noticed uh the motor that runs

520
00:22:24,390 --> 00:22:22,320
this entire device has been putting off

521
00:22:25,669 --> 00:22:24,400
sort of a louder noise than what they

522
00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:25,679
are used to

523
00:22:28,549 --> 00:22:27,440
and they've also seen some decreased

524
00:22:31,190 --> 00:22:28,559
suction

525
00:22:33,510 --> 00:22:31,200
so some of these parts of this whc have

526
00:22:34,950 --> 00:22:33,520
already reached the end of their

527
00:22:36,710 --> 00:22:34,960
life on board the station so they're

528
00:22:39,190 --> 00:22:36,720
going to go ahead and have garen swap

529
00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:39,200
out these parts today and to see if this

530
00:22:42,630 --> 00:22:41,120
takes care of the noise and the suction

531
00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:42,640
issue that he and the rest of the crew

532
00:22:45,830 --> 00:22:44,320
have reported

533
00:22:47,029 --> 00:22:45,840
but the sour smell issue that they had

534
00:22:48,549 --> 00:22:47,039
reported a couple of days ago has

535
00:22:50,630 --> 00:22:48,559
basically gone away for now so they will

536
00:22:53,669 --> 00:22:50,640
continue to monitor that and see if

537
00:22:55,990 --> 00:22:53,679
that problem has solved itself

538
00:22:57,750 --> 00:22:56,000
so we'll follow along as garen continues

539
00:22:59,669 --> 00:22:57,760
to do this maintenance on

540
00:23:01,270 --> 00:22:59,679
this part of the station

541
00:23:03,190 --> 00:23:01,280
we also reported to you that the crew is

542
00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:03,200
slightly ahead of transfer work in the

543
00:23:06,789 --> 00:23:05,360
multi-purpose logistics module

544
00:23:08,470 --> 00:23:06,799
moving cargo out of that they're a

545
00:23:09,909 --> 00:23:08,480
little bit behind on the mid deck

546
00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:09,919
transfers but of course that'll all

547
00:23:13,029 --> 00:23:11,200
change tonight

548
00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:13,039
whenever sandy magnus calls down for her

549
00:23:15,750 --> 00:23:14,080
daily

550
00:23:17,909 --> 00:23:15,760
meeting with the transfer team here in

551
00:23:19,990 --> 00:23:17,919
houston

552
00:23:21,909 --> 00:23:20,000
this mplm that is currently mounted with

553
00:23:22,750 --> 00:23:21,919
the station as we've mentioned before

554
00:23:25,430 --> 00:23:22,760
has

555
00:23:27,270 --> 00:23:25,440
9403 pounds of cargo inside of it that's

556
00:23:28,870 --> 00:23:27,280
being moved across the hatchways into

557
00:23:30,789 --> 00:23:28,880
the station of course

558
00:23:32,950 --> 00:23:30,799
it's not so much moving yet as it is uh

559
00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:32,960
finding locations for all of this but

560
00:23:36,870 --> 00:23:35,440
the team is working very closely

561
00:23:37,909 --> 00:23:36,880
with the crew as they move these items

562
00:23:39,350 --> 00:23:37,919
across

563
00:23:40,990 --> 00:23:39,360
and once they get all that unloaded

564
00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:41,000
they're going to be moving

565
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:43,760
566 pounds back across

566
00:23:49,669 --> 00:23:47,600
from the station uh to the mplm

567
00:23:52,549 --> 00:23:49,679
and all that's going to come home aboard

568
00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:52,559
atlantis at the end of this mission

569
00:23:58,149 --> 00:23:55,200
heat exchanger from the fgb

570
00:23:59,510 --> 00:23:58,159
kind of slides right in here

571
00:24:02,549 --> 00:23:59,520
on top

572
00:24:05,190 --> 00:24:02,559
there's room i have

573
00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:05,200
rings to put some bungees down of course

574
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,590
all within

575
00:24:16,549 --> 00:24:14,390
the inner hatch or inner ring area when

576
00:24:18,549 --> 00:24:16,559
they're restrained

577
00:24:24,070 --> 00:24:18,559
so they'll be a good clearance between

578
00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:25,830
and by the way the disc cover was not

579
00:24:32,870 --> 00:24:27,360
installed

580
00:24:37,269 --> 00:24:34,710
okay mike you had the disc cover not

581
00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:37,279
installed was an expected config

582
00:24:41,510 --> 00:24:39,760
