atlantis is doing just wonderfully uh

60
00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:17,280
it's great to see our space station

61
00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:19,680
friends up here and uh we've got our big

62
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:21,840
cargo module about about three quarters

63
00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:24,080
or so uh all transferred so it's going

64
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:24,880
great

65
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:27,280
uh both of you could tell me some about

66
00:04:29,909 --> 00:04:29,040
the mission special tasks and some of

67
00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:29,919
the things that you're doing

68
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:32,000
specifically we know you made a rather

69
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,160
large delivery to the iss

70
00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:36,080
how's that going and and what's going to

71
00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:37,840
be left at the station when you guys

72
00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:45,110
well uh we are making a rather large

73
00:04:49,270 --> 00:04:47,120
delivery and a lot of our time is being

74
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:49,280
spent moving things onto the station and

75
00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:51,440
bringing things back uh into our cargo

76
00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:53,680
carrier we're leaving behind about a

77
00:04:58,469 --> 00:04:56,400
year's supply of food and consumables as

78
00:05:01,029 --> 00:04:58,479
well of about a thousand pounds of

79
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:01,039
science equipment and some spare parts

80
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:03,840
we're taking back with us some trash and

81
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:04,800
some

82
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:06,400
part pieces of hardware that need to be

83
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:08,800
refurbished on the ground and some other

84
00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:10,720
consumables that need to go home so it's

85
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:12,240
it's keeping us pretty busy but the

86
00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:14,960
station will be in uh good supply once

87
00:05:18,950 --> 00:05:16,320
we leave

88
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:18,960
well you know the two of you have had uh

89
00:05:23,350 --> 00:05:20,800
a great vantage point because you've

90
00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:23,360
been obviously involved in in flying the

91
00:05:27,110 --> 00:05:25,360
shuttle and building the space station

92
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:27,120
what is that like when you you sit down

93
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:28,639
and you think about and you go wow i get

94
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:30,560
to do this kind of stuff and what do you

95
00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:32,000
tell your family what do you tell your

96
00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:34,000
friends about it i mean this is a an

97
00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:35,919
amazing adventure that not many people

98
00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:38,080
get to do and and you two are pretty

99
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:44,150
we are indeed very fortunate to have had

100
00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:46,320
the experiences that we've had and i

101
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:48,080
remember a moment when i was up here on

102
00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:50,080
expedition 18 i was just going about my

103
00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:52,160
normal routine and in the course of one

104
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,560
day i talked to moscow i talked to

105
00:05:58,390 --> 00:05:56,160
germany i talked to japan and i talked

106
00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:58,400
to our two control centers in houston

107
00:06:02,150 --> 00:06:00,479
and one in huntsville and then i stopped

108
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:02,160
for a second and i did have one of those

109
00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:04,000
moments of realization it's like wow

110
00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:07,360
look what we did we built this huge huge

111
00:06:11,909 --> 00:06:10,080
monster laboratory orbiting the earth

112
00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:11,919
using country you know with cooperation

113
00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:14,080
from countries all over the world and

114
00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:16,080
and here i am living on it it was just

115
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:18,080
one of those moments that you have that

116
00:06:22,070 --> 00:06:20,240
like you're speaking about it just it's

117
00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:22,080
it just strikes you that wow this is

118
00:06:29,909 --> 00:06:25,120
really uh just incredible

119
00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:33,510
well uh i'll tell you

120
00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:34,479
when we rendezvous with the

121
00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:36,240
international space station we can

122
00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:38,639
actually see it about six hours before

123
00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:40,960
we actually dock and you see it as a as

124
00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:42,800
a spec on the horizon but you know that

125
00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:45,199
you're you're closing rapidly and as the

126
00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:47,520
the afternoon of rendezvous progresses

127
00:06:51,589 --> 00:06:49,360
the station gets progressively larger

128
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:51,599
and larger and then we end up in what we

129
00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:53,840
call the rpm or the rotation pitch

130
00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:55,360
maneuver and that's where we're poised

131
00:06:59,589 --> 00:06:57,199
about 600 feet

132
00:07:02,309 --> 00:06:59,599
below station and i'll tell you that is

133
00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:02,319
really it's just an incredibly emotional

134
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:03,919
moment for those who are fortunate

135
00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:05,520
enough to have been in that position and

136
00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:07,840
look up and see this tremendous space

137
00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:09,919
station that we've built in space it

138
00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:12,160
really it's uh it makes me both humbled

139
00:07:16,070 --> 00:07:14,240
and awestruck at what human beings when

140
00:07:17,189 --> 00:07:16,080
they put their collective efforts

141
00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:17,199
together

142
00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:19,360
across a multinational effort can can

143
00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:21,360
build in space this this uh this

144
00:07:25,749 --> 00:07:23,440
orbiting laboratory is absolutely

145
00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:25,759
tremendous and just to see it from below

146
00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:27,440
it really leaves you with a like i said

147
00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:29,759
a feeling of awe

148
00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:31,520

173
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:42,149
you're having a good hair day sandy

so far and uh you know it's a it's a 25

183
00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:09,920
year old spacecraft but it still

184
00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:11,839

mission so far we've of course brought

187
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:17,760
up about 10 000 pounds of food and

188
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:19,760
supply enough hopefully to sustain the

189
00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:20,800
station

190
00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:22,800
for about a year to come

191
00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:24,560
we have another couple days docked and

192
00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:27,040
then then it's the the long road back to

193
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:28,720
uh back to the kennedy space center in

194
00:09:32,630 --> 00:09:30,880

oh definitely we try and you know nasa

199
00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:44,320

200
00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:46,080
to participate in the space experience

201
00:09:49,750 --> 00:09:47,839
and of course when we come back to our

202
00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:49,760
hometown areas like i have in st louis

friends

231
00:11:19,269 --> 00:11:14,800
it's a really nice time up here i wish

232
00:11:24,069 --> 00:11:21,590
a lot of conversation about this being

233
00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:24,079
the final shuttle flight i'm wondering

234
00:11:28,389 --> 00:11:26,720
is it bittersweet at all pessimists say

235
00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:28,399
the u.s is in danger of losing its

236
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:30,399
leadership in space optimists say

237
00:11:34,949 --> 00:11:32,560
retiring the shuttle program opens up

238
00:11:36,389 --> 00:11:34,959
new opportunities tell our viewers why

239
00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:36,399
they should care about the future of the

240
00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:42,310
well first of all uh let me address your

241
00:11:46,870 --> 00:11:44,160
first uh question about retiring the

242
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:46,880
space shuttle you know uh space program

243
00:11:50,470 --> 00:11:49,040
is uh it's uh it's it's a wonderful

244
00:11:52,230 --> 00:11:50,480
thing that we have united states we're

245
00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:52,240
committed to it we have the resources to

246
00:11:55,829 --> 00:11:54,000
do it and i think it's just fantastic

247
00:11:57,990 --> 00:11:55,839
plus it gives tremendous opportunity for

248
00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:58,000
young men and women to enter fields in

249
00:12:01,829 --> 00:11:59,920
science and math

250
00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:01,839
you know we're not completely giving up

251
00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:03,200
on the space program of course we still

252
00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:04,639
have this international space station

253
00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:06,000
we're going to have american astronauts

254
00:12:09,590 --> 00:12:07,920
on it for years and years to come

255
00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:09,600
retiring the space shuttle does give us

256
00:12:13,430 --> 00:12:11,600
however some resources so we can make

257
00:12:15,350 --> 00:12:13,440
the next step to leave low earth orbit

258
00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:15,360
and perhaps go back to the moon or maybe

259
00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:22,230
how does being in space affect the aging

260
00:12:29,910 --> 00:12:24,399
process for astronauts because you two

261
00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:31,110
well i don't know how it affects the

262
00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:33,120
aging process but you certainly do feel

263
00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:34,800
good up here

264
00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:36,800
it's amazing really i think

265
00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:38,240
one of the things i found about space

266
00:12:41,990 --> 00:12:39,839
flight was coming back to earth and

267
00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:42,000
feeling what gravity is like and how

268
00:12:46,069 --> 00:12:44,000
much is just pulling you down to the

269
00:12:47,670 --> 00:12:46,079
planet and weighing you down and of

270
00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:47,680
course up here we're in free fall we're

271
00:12:52,710 --> 00:12:50,160
floating around in zero g and it's it's

272
00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:52,720
a lot of fun and probably makes us look

273
00:13:02,629 --> 00:12:59,990
talk a little bit about the life of an

274
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:02,639
astronaut on the space shuttle one day

275
00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:04,560
you're space walking the next day you're

276
00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:07,120
hauling trash or fixing a toilet you've

277
00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:14,310
absolutely not the least of which is to

278
00:13:19,430 --> 00:13:16,240
transfer about ten thousand pounds of

279
00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:19,440
food and supply over the space station

280
00:13:22,470 --> 00:13:20,800
let me comment just a little bit on

281
00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:22,480
sandy of course she was here uh for

282
00:13:26,550 --> 00:13:24,000
about four and a half months with a part

283
00:13:28,790 --> 00:13:26,560
of expedition 18 and uh one of the first

284
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:28,800
things i noticed one of the uh the first

285
00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:31,040
nights that we we kind of all

286
00:13:34,550 --> 00:13:32,480
set up our sleeping bags and went to

287
00:13:35,910 --> 00:13:34,560
sleep was the other three crew members

288
00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:35,920
they were a little restless they tossed

289
00:13:39,269 --> 00:13:37,120
they turned they had a hard time

290
00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:39,279
including myself i looked over at sandy

291
00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:41,519
she was sleeping soundly all nestled in

292
00:13:45,110 --> 00:13:43,120
her sleeping bag like she had never left

293
00:13:46,949 --> 00:13:45,120
she's so incredibly comfortable up here

294
00:13:48,310 --> 00:13:46,959
and it's just it's great to have her

295
00:13:50,710 --> 00:13:48,320
here and great to have her part of this

296
00:13:54,069 --> 00:13:52,069

aboard the shuttle station complex

303
00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:12,399
you're looking

304
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:14,000
down in the mid deck of atlantis as

305
00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:17,600
pilot doug hurley works through a set of

306
00:14:22,949 --> 00:14:20,480
procedures to stow items in the airlock

307
00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:22,959
and in other areas of the mid deck

308
00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:24,480
all part of the

309
00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:27,600
back and forth transfer of cargo

310
00:14:31,269 --> 00:14:29,279
from the rafaello

311
00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:31,279
logistics module to the international

312
00:14:35,509 --> 00:14:33,600
space station and the transfer of items

313
00:14:37,670 --> 00:14:35,519
from not only

314
00:14:39,990 --> 00:14:37,680
the station back into rafaella but also

315
00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:40,000
from atlantis mid deck

316
00:14:44,949 --> 00:14:42,639
once again peering into the rafaello

317
00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:44,959
multipurpose logistics module

318
00:14:50,230 --> 00:14:47,360
where various crew members are working

319
00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:50,240
in the continuing transfer of cargo

320
00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:52,160
the crew at the beginning of the day

321
00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:54,320
today was 50 percent complete with its

322
00:14:57,990 --> 00:14:55,680
transfers now

323
00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:58,000
heading towards the three-quarter mark

324
00:15:03,189 --> 00:15:00,720
in the transfer of

325
00:15:05,189 --> 00:15:03,199
some four and a half tons of equipment

326
00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:05,199
from rafaello into the international

327
00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:08,000
space station to ensure that it is fully

328
00:15:23,030 --> 00:15:20,150
a variety of crew members gathering down

329
00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:23,040
in the mid deck of atlantis to prepare

330
00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:25,199
a variety of cuisine that constitutes

331
00:15:28,389 --> 00:15:27,040
the all-american meal that you've been

332
00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:28,399
hearing about

333
00:15:32,069 --> 00:15:30,720
this all-american meal again

334
00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:32,079
was conceived

335
00:15:37,509 --> 00:15:34,880
in honor of this final shuttle mission

336
00:15:39,509 --> 00:15:37,519
of atlantis and um

337
00:15:42,389 --> 00:15:39,519
prepared by the food lab folks here at

338
00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:42,399
the johnson space center

339
00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:44,560
the cruise all-american menu beginning

340
00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:47,600
with crackers brie cheese and sausage

341
00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:49,199
the main course featuring grilled

342
00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:51,199
chicken southwestern corn and baked

343
00:15:57,910 --> 00:15:54,320
beans and the uh

344
00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:57,920
resistance will be apple pie for dessert

345
00:16:07,509 --> 00:15:59,600
the station crew will also have

346
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:09,749
so this is an opportunity for the crew

347
00:16:15,509 --> 00:16:12,399
to take a break in what has been a very

348
00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:15,519
busy schedule uh punctuated uh primarily

349
00:16:20,710 --> 00:16:18,480
by cargo transfer activities uh before

350
00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:20,720
they have uh an opportunity to share

351
00:16:32,350 --> 00:16:24,000
each other's company for off-duty time

352
00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:35,829
wbbm tv this is mission control houston

353
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,629
hello check can you hear me

354
00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:47,910

355
00:16:53,269 --> 00:16:51,360
do you hear the space station

356
00:16:55,189 --> 00:16:53,279
i can hear you perfectly wow that's

357
00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:55,199
amazing it's so good to see all of you i

358
00:16:58,790 --> 00:16:56,959
want to thank you for talking to us and

359
00:17:00,389 --> 00:16:58,800
i want to start by asking a question to

360
00:17:02,389 --> 00:17:00,399
sandra if possible because we know she's

361
00:17:04,470 --> 00:17:02,399
from down state illinois

362
00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:04,480
sandra how meaningful is it for you to

363
00:17:13,350 --> 00:17:11,270
well you know we were so focused on the

364
00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:13,360
launch uh the training during most of

365
00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:15,280
our preparation time i hadn't really

366
00:17:18,470 --> 00:17:16,880
thought about it but i will tell you

367
00:17:20,390 --> 00:17:18,480
it's an honor to be a part of any

368
00:17:22,549 --> 00:17:20,400
shuttle crew and this one is is really

369
00:17:24,470 --> 00:17:22,559
special because it is the last one

370
00:17:25,829 --> 00:17:24,480
and uh we're just very busy up here and

371
00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:25,839
i think it's going to hit us a little

372
00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:28,480
bit harder once we land uh there at the

373
00:17:33,110 --> 00:17:30,559
cape and have to say goodbye to atlantis

374
00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:33,120
for the last time

375
00:17:38,710 --> 00:17:35,760
so what happens personally for you and

376
00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:38,720
your careers what what is your next um

377
00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:41,280
operations involved without being able

378
00:17:51,669 --> 00:17:49,430
well that's it's not exactly uh correct

379
00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:51,679
i mean we have uh opportunities

380
00:17:55,270 --> 00:17:53,039
following this we're going to continue

381
00:17:57,430 --> 00:17:55,280
to crew the international space station

382
00:17:59,510 --> 00:17:57,440
for the next decade at least so we've

383
00:18:00,470 --> 00:17:59,520
got opportunities there to fly in space

384
00:18:01,909 --> 00:18:00,480
and then

385
00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:01,919
we've got some great opportunities on

386
00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:04,640
the ground as well uh supporting uh

387
00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:06,960
development of our next uh vehicle which

388
00:18:11,029 --> 00:18:08,480
is going to go beyond

389
00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:11,039
low earth orbit and then we also have

390
00:18:15,669 --> 00:18:13,520
you know a chance to to contribute with

391
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:15,679
the commercial companies as they come

392
00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:17,440
online to build vehicles that are going

393
00:18:20,950 --> 00:18:19,120
to come to the international space

394
00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:20,960
station so there's there's going to be

395
00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:26,950
what is your advice for young people who

396
00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:29,120
are interested in moving into your

397
00:18:33,029 --> 00:18:31,280
profession and also just people in

398
00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:33,039
general who are interested in the space

399
00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:35,039
program with all the changes going on

400
00:18:43,510 --> 00:18:41,990
well certainly keep keep tuned in

401
00:18:46,310 --> 00:18:43,520
because a lot of exciting things are

402
00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:46,320
going on and for young people you know

403
00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:47,760
when we were all younger we dreamed of

404
00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:49,840
being astronauts and it seemed like a

405
00:18:54,870 --> 00:18:53,280
very remote chance or a remote idea

406
00:18:57,430 --> 00:18:54,880
but if you work really hard you

407
00:18:59,510 --> 00:18:57,440
persevere and you follow your dreams

408
00:19:01,430 --> 00:18:59,520
anything can happen and here we are

409
00:19:02,789 --> 00:19:01,440
testimony to that so i would advise any

410
00:19:04,789 --> 00:19:02,799
young person whether you're interested

411
00:19:06,150 --> 00:19:04,799
in being an astronaut or or being

412
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:06,160
involved in the space program or

413
00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:07,760
whatever your dream is just give it a

414
00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:09,520
shot go for it believe in yourself work

415
00:19:16,230 --> 00:19:14,789
i know sandra mentioned before that you

416
00:19:17,510 --> 00:19:16,240
guys were very busy and didn't really

417
00:19:19,350 --> 00:19:17,520
have a lot of time to reflect but is

418
00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:19,360
there anybody who's feeling

419
00:19:30,310 --> 00:19:21,919
particularly nostalgic or sentimental

420
00:19:32,710 --> 00:19:31,750
well it's yeah as you know we are very

421
00:19:33,909 --> 00:19:32,720
busy and we're concentrating on a

422
00:19:35,590 --> 00:19:33,919
mission but every once in a while when

423
00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:35,600
it just quiets down for a minute yeah i

424
00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:36,640
remember sitting on the mid deck the

425
00:19:39,669 --> 00:19:38,320
other day and thinking wow this is the

426
00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:39,679
last time this vehicle is going to fly

427
00:19:44,230 --> 00:19:42,400
here we are in space so um just and and

428
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:44,240
fleeting moments between being really

429
00:19:48,549 --> 00:19:46,320
busy you kind of think wow this is this

430
00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:48,559
is really it uh but boy it's going to

431
00:19:51,909 --> 00:19:50,400
hit when we uh when we land and we'll

432
00:19:53,510 --> 00:19:51,919
stop and when all the pressure's off of

433
00:19:56,150 --> 00:19:53,520
the mission and all the busyness is done

434
00:19:57,750 --> 00:19:56,160
we'll reflect back and uh and we'll

435
00:19:59,510 --> 00:19:57,760
realize that the the space shuttle has

436
00:20:01,029 --> 00:19:59,520
completed it's completed its mission and

437
00:20:03,029 --> 00:20:01,039
it's it's not a time for sense it's a

438
00:20:05,110 --> 00:20:03,039
time for celebration it's had a storied

439
00:20:07,750 --> 00:20:05,120
30-year career and we're very very proud

440
00:20:09,029 --> 00:20:07,760
of it and so i i plan on uh when we get

some of it is sort of in the form of

462
00:21:06,789 --> 00:21:05,280
meals ready to eat that the military has

463
00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:06,799
where it's a pouch you just heat it up

464
00:21:11,510 --> 00:21:08,880
and and you eat it the thermal

465
00:21:13,029 --> 00:21:11,520
stabilized is in a dehydrated sort of

what would you say is the most

475
00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:38,159

well i can definitely offer you one i

477
00:21:49,029 --> 00:21:47,120
think there were a number of great

478
00:21:50,950 --> 00:21:49,039
contributions to shuttle made but uh

479
00:21:52,710 --> 00:21:50,960
we're here talking to you from one of

480
00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:52,720
the one of the

481
00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:54,240
crowning achievements of the space

482
00:21:56,950 --> 00:21:55,200
shuttle program and that's the

483
00:21:59,190 --> 00:21:56,960
international space station you know the

484
00:22:01,430 --> 00:21:59,200
shuttle was integral in constructing

485
00:22:04,070 --> 00:22:01,440
building and putting all this together

486
00:22:06,710 --> 00:22:04,080
uh 210 miles above the surface of the

487
00:22:08,950 --> 00:22:06,720
earth so you know we we get to see this

488
00:22:11,590 --> 00:22:08,960

492
00:22:19,830 --> 00:22:17,039

commander ferguson when did you first

527
00:23:45,590 --> 00:23:41,679
have the dream of going to space from

528
00:23:49,430 --> 00:23:47,510
oh i grew up in the northeast there i

529
00:23:51,110 --> 00:23:49,440
went to saint martha's grade school

530
00:23:52,390 --> 00:23:51,120
archbishop ryan high school and i think

531
00:23:54,549 --> 00:23:52,400
it was somewhere in there i had some

532
00:23:57,029 --> 00:23:54,559
real motivational teachers who got me

533
00:23:58,950 --> 00:23:57,039
interested in science and taught me a

534
00:24:00,549 --> 00:23:58,960
little bit about aviation i thought well

535
00:24:02,630 --> 00:24:00,559
you know maybe i'd like to fly airplanes

536
00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:02,640
someday one thing led to another i

537
00:24:05,909 --> 00:24:04,480
always had a fascination with the with

538
00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:05,919

554
00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:37,440
i don't know we're going to have to do

555
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,909
oh yeah i can do that watch this

556
00:24:51,269 --> 00:24:49,590
can everybody float around for it that

557
00:24:53,669 --> 00:24:51,279
was really cool chris

558
00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:53,679
look at her

559
00:25:00,549 --> 00:24:57,840
i think i think sandy's hair is pretty

560
00:25:02,470 --> 00:25:00,559
much a dead giveaway

561
00:25:04,630 --> 00:25:02,480
it is oh there you go there's a pose for

562
00:25:07,830 --> 00:25:04,640
you right there

563
00:25:09,990 --> 00:25:07,840
that is so cool well which way is the is

564
00:25:14,630 --> 00:25:10,000
the space station are you standing are

565
00:25:18,390 --> 00:25:16,470
actually uh we're in uh we're in the

566
00:25:20,390 --> 00:25:18,400
japanese module right now this is one of

567
00:25:22,230 --> 00:25:20,400
several modules the space station is

568
00:25:23,990 --> 00:25:22,240
really it's an incredibly large uh

569
00:25:26,470 --> 00:25:24,000
vehicle it's uh weighs over a million

570
00:25:28,310 --> 00:25:26,480
pounds right now and uh you know if you

571
00:25:30,870 --> 00:25:28,320
have one of the unique opportunities

572
00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:30,880
like we have to you know

573
00:25:35,029 --> 00:25:32,880
be a thousand feet below and look up at

574
00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:35,039
this tremendous vehicle it is just all

575
00:25:38,230 --> 00:25:36,480
inspiring it's hard to believe that

576
00:25:41,190 --> 00:25:38,240
mankind has built this and we get to

577
00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:41,200
live in it for a couple weeks it's great

578
00:25:44,470 --> 00:25:42,480
you know every now and then you can see

579
00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:44,480
the space shuttle go over philadelphia

580
00:25:47,269 --> 00:25:46,000
what are you looking at right now like

581
00:25:51,110 --> 00:25:47,279
for instance right now where are you

582
00:25:54,149 --> 00:25:52,710
uh we're actually

583
00:25:55,909 --> 00:25:54,159
uh we're like i said we're floating in

584
00:25:57,350 --> 00:25:55,919
the japanese module which is one of the

585
00:25:59,029 --> 00:25:57,360
wings that sits off the side of the

586
00:26:00,870 --> 00:25:59,039
space station of course it's a series of

587
00:26:02,470 --> 00:26:00,880
tubes that stick together but when you

588
00:26:03,909 --> 00:26:02,480
see the space station fly over it's a

589
00:26:05,669 --> 00:26:03,919
very bright light what you're usually

590
00:26:07,590 --> 00:26:05,679
seeing is the reflection off the large

591
00:26:11,830 --> 00:26:07,600
solar arrays that are about 300 feet

592
00:26:14,950 --> 00:26:11,840
long so that's what you typically see

593
00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:14,960
yeah so where is the space station right

594
00:26:24,870 --> 00:26:22,950
wow that's a real good question we

595
00:26:26,870 --> 00:26:24,880
we actually have this uh real neat

596
00:26:28,470 --> 00:26:26,880
computer application that tells us where

597
00:26:30,310 --> 00:26:28,480
we are in the world because sometimes

598
00:26:32,870 --> 00:26:30,320
just by looking out the window you can't

599
00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:32,880
tell um but right now we don't have it

600
00:26:36,549 --> 00:26:34,960
up so honest to goodness we can't tell

601
00:26:38,070 --> 00:26:36,559
you where we are over the earth but if

602
00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:38,080
we went to a window we could find out

603
00:26:41,590 --> 00:26:40,000
well listen to this

604
00:26:43,750 --> 00:26:41,600
i've been told you're over the northeast

605
00:26:46,149 --> 00:26:43,760
atlantic

606
00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:46,159
you're just west of england

607
00:26:54,230 --> 00:26:52,310
fantastic you know rex here is just an

608
00:26:56,630 --> 00:26:54,240
expert in geography and all he has to go

609
00:26:58,789 --> 00:26:56,640
down to the cupola which is uh kind of

610
00:27:00,070 --> 00:26:58,799
like a fishbowl if you will to allow us

611
00:27:01,590 --> 00:27:00,080
to look out the bottom of the space

612
00:27:04,630 --> 00:27:01,600
station and rex can usually pick out

613
00:27:06,390 --> 00:27:04,640
exactly where we are at any given moment

614
00:27:09,029 --> 00:27:06,400
that's kind of cool i'll say did you

615
00:27:10,789 --> 00:27:09,039
take any tasty cakes uh tasty cakes up

616
00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:10,799
there and if you did which one do you

617
00:27:15,430 --> 00:27:12,640
like

618
00:27:17,029 --> 00:27:15,440
thing we're gonna do is maybe get sandy

619
00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:17,039
go back and open one of these windows

620
00:27:20,389 --> 00:27:18,240
behind us we'll let you look out the

621
00:27:22,710 --> 00:27:20,399
window a little bit did i take any tasty

622
00:27:27,909 --> 00:27:22,720
cakes unfortunately no but believe me i

623
00:27:31,990 --> 00:27:30,230

624
00:27:34,070 --> 00:27:32,000

626
00:27:38,549 --> 00:27:37,520
uh

627
00:27:40,230 --> 00:27:38,559
i'll tell you what let me pass the

628
00:27:41,990 --> 00:27:40,240
microphone around a little bit yeah this

629
00:27:44,950 --> 00:27:42,000
is doug hurley the pilot let's talk to

630
00:27:49,110 --> 00:27:47,350
uh let's see would i i had

631
00:27:50,950 --> 00:27:49,120
oatmeal with brown sugar this morning

632
00:27:52,870 --> 00:27:50,960
and i think uh

633
00:27:54,870 --> 00:27:52,880
somebody else had eggs and i don't

634
00:27:56,950 --> 00:27:54,880
remember what rex had a sausage patty

635
00:28:02,870 --> 00:27:56,960
and a sausage patty so you know pretty

636
00:28:07,669 --> 00:28:05,190
now we don't we a lot of our meals are

637
00:28:09,510 --> 00:28:07,679
kind of you know similar to military

638
00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:09,520
meals ready to eat so they're in pouches

639
00:28:13,590 --> 00:28:11,120
or bags and some of them you have to add

640
00:28:14,789 --> 00:28:13,600
water to and we have a a small oven in

641
00:28:17,590 --> 00:28:14,799
the shuttle

642
00:28:19,590 --> 00:28:17,600
where we can heat things up both

643
00:28:21,909 --> 00:28:19,600
you know food and we can get hot or cold

644
00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:21,919
water out of the dispenser right above

645
00:28:24,710 --> 00:28:22,880
it so

646
00:28:28,070 --> 00:28:24,720
it's a pretty nice setup and the food is

647
00:28:30,070 --> 00:28:28,080
uh is really really good

648
00:28:31,190 --> 00:28:30,080
sandy your face is turning red is is

649
00:28:32,549 --> 00:28:31,200
that the blood running for rushing to

650
00:28:37,110 --> 00:28:32,559
your head and what are you looking at

651
00:28:40,870 --> 00:28:39,029
a lot of water most of the time when you

652
00:28:43,029 --> 00:28:40,880
look out the window up here there's just

653
00:28:44,630 --> 00:28:43,039
a lot of water and occasionally you'll

654
00:28:46,549 --> 00:28:44,640
go over a continent

655
00:28:48,310 --> 00:28:46,559
you know only takes us 90 minutes to go

656
00:28:50,710 --> 00:28:48,320
around the world and so we get a sunset

657
00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:50,720
in the sunrise about every 45 minutes

658
00:28:54,310 --> 00:28:52,640
when you're over the sahara it's very

659
00:28:56,470 --> 00:28:54,320
very dramatic there's a lot of browns

660
00:28:58,149 --> 00:28:56,480
and oranges and tans and beiges it's

661
00:28:59,909 --> 00:28:58,159

00:29:02,310 --> 00:28:59,919
beautiful but right now we just see a

663
00:29:03,269 --> 00:29:02,320
lot of water out the window

665
00:29:09,029 --> 00:29:06,399

let's just say it involves airflow

683
00:29:48,630 --> 00:29:44,320
rather than gravity i will just leave it

684
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:54,470
