1
00:00:10,549 --> 00:00:04,950
station this is houston on two are you

2
00:00:16,189 --> 00:00:11,910
station at space to ground to we are

3
00:00:21,029 --> 00:00:18,550
jscpao this is houston please call

4
00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:21,039
station for a voice check

5
00:00:27,029 --> 00:00:23,680
station this is jscpao how do you hear

6
00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:29,429
we've got you loud and clear

7
00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:31,119
all right sounds great we'll start with

8
00:00:38,310 --> 00:00:32,640
some questions from reporters here at

9
00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:40,150
uh thank you good morning this is uh

10
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:42,559
mark caro for aviation week and space

11
00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:44,160
technology

12
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:47,680
i have a question for don pettit

13
00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:49,120
right now it looks like there'll be

14
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:50,800
three of you on the

15
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:52,800
space station for the track and capture

16
00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:54,960
of dragon if the launch

17
00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:57,120
unfolds as planned

18
00:01:03,349 --> 00:00:59,359
i wonder if you could sort of describe

19
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:03,359
the preparations that you're making um

20
00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:05,920
for that and whether you were the lead

21
00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:07,520
for the track and capture as you

22
00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:12,469
uh

23
00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:14,720
for track and capture we're just now

24
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:18,400
starting to get uh up to speed on uh

25
00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:20,880
training for this event and

26
00:01:26,950 --> 00:01:23,520
we have a two primary means of training

27
00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:26,960
we fly the actual arm which is the

28
00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:29,759
world's best trainer for flying the arm

29
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:33,840
and then right here we've got uh two

30
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:35,280
two uh

31
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:38,320
space station computers which uh double

32
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:42,880
as a arm simulator and and we have a

33
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:45,920
full set of uh actual arm hand

34
00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:47,680
controllers here

35
00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:48,880
and

36
00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:51,759
with this setup we call it robot

37
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:54,640
and it allows us to

38
00:01:58,149 --> 00:01:55,759
fly

39
00:01:59,429 --> 00:01:58,159
uh track and capture trajectories just

40
00:02:01,510 --> 00:01:59,439
like we would if we were in the

41
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:01,520
simulators back in houston so it's a

42
00:02:06,550 --> 00:02:04,320
really neat capability and and i have it

43
00:02:08,309 --> 00:02:06,560
set up now all the time and so i'll wake

44
00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:08,319
up in the morning and have a bag of

45
00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:11,520
coffee and i'll be uh flying a dragon

46
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:14,000
track and captures uh with a bag of

47
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:16,800
coffee in my mouth and and uh

48
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:19,440
uh cinnamon scone in one hand and uh the

49
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:22,640
hand controllers uh and it's uh it's

50
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:23,840
it's good to have this kind of

51
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:26,319
capability

52
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:28,959
for the actual event will you be uh in

53
00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:30,800
the cupola or

54
00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:33,360
in the destiny lab i'm not quite sure

55
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:35,360
and could you sort of explain andre's

56
00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:42,869
sure initially it was going to be

57
00:02:47,270 --> 00:02:45,360
dan burbank is prime arm our operator

58
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:47,280
and i would be what we call second arm

59
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:50,640
operator and andre would be visiting

60
00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:53,040
vehicle officer and we each have

61
00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:54,879
different roles and the three of us were

62
00:02:59,830 --> 00:02:57,280
going to be doing the

63
00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:59,840
track and capture for dragon

64
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:01,599
now that the the dragon launch was

65
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:05,040
delayed uh dan's going to be gone and

66
00:03:10,869 --> 00:03:07,360
only be three of us up here and it will

67
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:10,879
just be andre and myself doing uh

68
00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:14,080
all the things that uh dan andre and me

69
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:14,959
were

70
00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:16,640
originally trained to do

71
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:19,360
and we will be in the cupola

72
00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:22,560
and i will be a prime mom operator and

73
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:25,920
andre will be second arm operator and we

74
00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:27,760
will have the robotics workstation in

75
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:30,400
the lab set up and ready to go as what

76
00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:32,720
we refer to as a hot backup

77
00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:35,440
for contingencies that may lock up the

78
00:03:38,869 --> 00:03:37,840
controls for flying the arm

79
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:38,879
right when you're in the middle of a

80
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:41,760
dragon capture so we've got training and

81
00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:45,360
procedures for quickly flying to the lab

82
00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:48,400
and activating the robotics workstation

83
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:50,400
and taking over the flying from the lab

84
00:03:58,229 --> 00:03:56,869
okay well next i believe we have some

85
00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:58,239
questions coming in from the phone

86
00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:00,239
bridge first up we'll have jill told

87
00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:06,869
yes this is jill polk representing the

88
00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:08,879
registered newspaper in yarmouth port

89
00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:11,599
massachusetts so dan you well know this

90
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:13,360
question will be for you

91
00:04:18,310 --> 00:04:16,320
in february i got to visit some towns on

92
00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:18,320
the south shore of boston and i stayed

93
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:21,040
only 15 miles from plymouth the pilgrims

94
00:04:27,189 --> 00:04:24,000
first stepping stone into the new world

95
00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:27,199
on that note during the past few months

96
00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:29,440
what new massachusetts anecdotes have

97
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:31,520
you collected and what thoughts or

98
00:04:35,110 --> 00:04:33,280
feelings would you like to share with

99
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:35,120
the residents of your adopted hometown

100
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:43,110
jill it's great to talk to you and uh

101
00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:44,560
and welcome aboard the international

102
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:47,280
space station or at least virtually um i

103
00:04:51,749 --> 00:04:49,680
think i i think for us on board here

104
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:51,759
it's uh it's a

105
00:04:55,830 --> 00:04:54,320
a kind of a a very good metaphor which

106
00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:55,840
you just mentioned you know in the way

107
00:05:01,990 --> 00:04:58,720
that uh plymouth uh in plymouth rock uh

108
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:02,000
represented uh the founding um of of the

109
00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:03,280
new world from

110
00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:05,039
from the perspective of european

111
00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:07,759
settlers in in a very real way i think

112
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:10,000
the international space station with the

113
00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:11,840
international partnership that makes all

114
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:13,120
this possible

115
00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:15,280
is in a sense

116
00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:17,280
the first major stepping stone that will

117
00:05:21,350 --> 00:05:19,039
help us leave

118
00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:21,360
planet earth and ultimately leave low

119
00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:23,440
earth orbit and go to the moon asteroids

120
00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:25,600
and mars and the kind of science we're

121
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:26,639
doing up here i think is really

122
00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:28,880
important to that um regarding

123
00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:31,600
massachusetts and new england uh my my

124
00:05:36,390 --> 00:05:33,919
uh my home if you will

125
00:05:38,310 --> 00:05:36,400
we feel uh very connected i think in a

126
00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:38,320
lot of ways to all the different places

127
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:40,720
that that that all of us have touched or

128
00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:43,120
have touched us around the world and you

129
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:45,440
get to see it in a very very personal

130
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:47,120
way looking out uh the windows in the

131
00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:49,440
cupola or the uh the great windows in

132
00:05:52,870 --> 00:05:50,880
the service module or here in the

133
00:05:55,430 --> 00:05:52,880
laboratory and

134
00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:55,440
uh it was a couple of weeks ago when

135
00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:58,319
we had don had dusted off a lens that we

136
00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:00,400
have on board here that hasn't got a lot

137
00:06:05,909 --> 00:06:03,199
of use recently it's a fisheye lens and

138
00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:05,919
there was a really neat opportunity to

139
00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:08,000
to basically set that up in the cupola

140
00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:11,360
and give essentially 180 degree or 360

141
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:14,240
degree views of the entire uh earth

142
00:06:19,189 --> 00:06:16,319
beneath us horizon to horizon and there

143
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:19,199
was one really neat shot that actually

144
00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:20,880
was centered directly on cape cod and

145
00:06:25,029 --> 00:06:22,800
you could see from cape cod all the way

146
00:06:26,469 --> 00:06:25,039
uh to boston you could see off to the uh

147
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:26,479
to the western edge of that view

148
00:06:32,469 --> 00:06:29,199
connecticut and kind of in one shot in

149
00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:32,479
uh just one uh 50th of a second it sort

150
00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:34,160
of captured all the places that at least

151
00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:36,080
when i was growing up were near and dear

152
00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:41,830
great thanks for the good words dawn you

153
00:06:46,870 --> 00:06:43,919
know that i also represent the appeal

154
00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:46,880
tribune in silverton oregon i'm actually

155
00:06:51,350 --> 00:06:49,120
in los angeles california right now flew

156
00:06:53,909 --> 00:06:51,360
into the burbank airport yesterday so

157
00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:53,919
i'm next door to oregon so what new

158
00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:56,000
oregon anecdotes have you collected and

159
00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:57,520
what thoughts or feelings would you like

160
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:00,080
to share with all the folks back in

161
00:07:09,029 --> 00:07:05,990
well oregon

162
00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:09,039
is currently being very oregon

163
00:07:14,790 --> 00:07:11,680
and the passes that we've had with space

164
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:14,800
station you look down at oregon and you

165
00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:16,479
see clouds

166
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:19,520
and that's just the way it's supposed to

167
00:07:24,070 --> 00:07:21,680
be and that's what makes it near and

168
00:07:26,469 --> 00:07:24,080
dear to my heart because that's also the

169
00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:26,479
key to making everything green which of

170
00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:28,479
course does not apply as soon as you get

171
00:07:33,189 --> 00:07:30,639
to eastern oregon with a rain shadow

172
00:07:41,830 --> 00:07:33,199
from the cascade mountains and then then

173
00:07:48,309 --> 00:07:44,790
all right thanks so much

174
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:48,319
okay next up we have marcia dunn

175
00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:50,000
yes good morning gentlemen from the

176
00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:52,960
kennedy space center uh first for you dr

177
00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:54,960
pettit you'll be the one reeling in the

178
00:07:58,550 --> 00:07:56,800
dragon capsule

179
00:08:01,350 --> 00:07:58,560
talk about the importance of this

180
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:01,360
inaugural commercial cargo run perhaps

181
00:08:08,629 --> 00:08:03,120
compare it to something in history that

182
00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:10,150
well i i think

183
00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:12,560
you folks on the ground probably are

184
00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:14,720
more in touch with any historical

185
00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:16,800
perspective and and what the meaning of

186
00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:19,680
all of this is from a crew perspective

187
00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:22,879
we we have a very operational oriented

188
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:25,680
task that we are doing intensive

189
00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:28,240
training now so that

190
00:08:34,709 --> 00:08:31,440
we can get this task done expertly and

191
00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:34,719
andre and i will be doing this task and

192
00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:37,120
will be sharing the robotics duties for

193
00:08:42,070 --> 00:08:39,039
flying the arm

194
00:08:43,269 --> 00:08:42,080
from capture to ultimately birthing it

195
00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:43,279
on to

196
00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:50,389
for either you dr peck are you commander

197
00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:52,720
burbank or both of you perhaps discovery

198
00:08:56,550 --> 00:08:54,720
is about the ship out to washington in

199
00:08:58,470 --> 00:08:56,560
another few weeks

200
00:09:00,550 --> 00:08:58,480
your thoughts on the shuttle's departure

201
00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:00,560
from its home base for more than 30

202
00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,600
years and how strange or odd is it for

203
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:05,519
you both to

204
00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:07,600
have flown on something that's now being

205
00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:19,190
most of the most of the airplanes that

206
00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:20,480
i've flown

207
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:23,360
are also swim museums uh marcia but i

208
00:09:26,949 --> 00:09:24,880
don't necessarily think that's a bad

209
00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:26,959
thing now the shuttle did what the

210
00:09:29,910 --> 00:09:28,720
shuttle was best designed for and it

211
00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:29,920
brought up some spectacular

212
00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:32,160
observatories into space and uh some

213
00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:33,920
satellites and it helped build this

214
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:36,480
nearly one million pound world-class uh

215
00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:37,680
laboratory that we have the great

216
00:09:43,430 --> 00:09:40,240
privilege of of working and living

217
00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:43,440
aboard uh for six months and um and i

218
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:44,399
think

219
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:46,160
having the shuttles the space shuttles

220
00:09:49,910 --> 00:09:48,560
in museums where people can come and see

221
00:09:51,750 --> 00:09:49,920
them and learn about them and learn

222
00:09:53,829 --> 00:09:51,760
about the wonderful technology i think

223
00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:53,839
it'll be a good thing and

224
00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:54,880
and i think

225
00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:57,120
that from a budgetary standpoint is

226
00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:00,000
going to help give nasa the wherewithal

227
00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:02,320
to build and design the next vehicles

228
00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:04,560
and i think for us i think the big key

229
00:10:08,069 --> 00:10:06,320
part of that is getting heavy lift

230
00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:08,079
capability that can get us into low

231
00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:10,000
earth orbit with vehicles that we could

232
00:10:29,910 --> 00:10:12,320
take beyond low earth orbit

233
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:36,150
okay and next we have suzanne presto

234
00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:37,590
hello and thanks for having me good

235
00:10:40,470 --> 00:10:38,480
morning

236
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:40,480
um my question is about the upcoming

237
00:10:44,389 --> 00:10:42,480
international space apps challenge i was

238
00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:44,399
wondering what your plans are up there

239
00:11:00,790 --> 00:10:57,990
and and i'll tell you i i

240
00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:00,800
i have to admit i don't know much about

241
00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:03,839
it and frankly from my perspective uh my

242
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:06,320
near-term focus has been as as don has

243
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:08,000
mentioned kind of all the operational

244
00:11:11,829 --> 00:11:09,760
things we do on a day-to-day basis up

245
00:11:14,230 --> 00:11:11,839
here and now in just a little bit over

246
00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:14,240
two weeks getting prepared for for my

247
00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:15,360
return

248
00:11:19,509 --> 00:11:17,519
to planet earth it'll be a bit of a

249
00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:19,519
bitter bittersweet moment though leaving

250
00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:29,990
okay next up we have olga delbert

251
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:31,920
dobrdova

252
00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:33,760
uh yes hello this is uh thanks for

253
00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:35,600
putting this this is olgatobravidwa with

254
00:11:39,990 --> 00:11:38,079
the russian news agency ryanawski uh

255
00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:40,000
tomorrow is a big day obviously for

256
00:11:44,710 --> 00:11:42,160
russia and the world commemorating the

257
00:11:47,269 --> 00:11:44,720
first human space flight

258
00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:47,279
do you have anything planned

259
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:49,120
perhaps some surprises for your russian

260
00:11:58,389 --> 00:11:56,470
welcome welcome aboard uh the thing you

261
00:12:01,190 --> 00:11:58,399
know all of us i think uh that was a

262
00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:01,200
momentous day for uh for all humankind

263
00:12:07,030 --> 00:12:04,480
and uh the day that uh that uh yuri

264
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:07,040
launched uh april 12 51 years ago was

265
00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:08,720
really really important it basically set

266
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:11,360
the foundation for for a very wonderful

267
00:12:16,629 --> 00:12:14,560
and robust space program uh that that

268
00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:16,639
that now we enjoy uh cooperatively

269
00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:19,200
internationally and for us for our part

270
00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:21,200
here on board space station uh we are

271
00:12:24,150 --> 00:12:22,480
going to have a little bit of a reduced

272
00:12:25,910 --> 00:12:24,160
schedule and we're going to enjoy a

273
00:12:28,069 --> 00:12:25,920
couple of meals together

274
00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:28,079
something that often with the busy tempo

275
00:12:32,629 --> 00:12:30,800
and the busy operations space up here

276
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:32,639
we don't often get a chance to do in

277
00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:34,560
fact a lot of us end up eating

278
00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:37,440
individually on the fly as we go and and

279
00:12:41,350 --> 00:12:39,040
so this will be a good opportunity for

280
00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:41,360
us to take a few minutes and

281
00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:43,440
and think about the history of our space

282
00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:45,040
program up until this point and kind of

283
00:12:49,829 --> 00:12:46,959
talk a little bit about where we think

284
00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:49,839
we'll be going in the future

285
00:12:55,030 --> 00:12:53,040
okay thank you

286
00:12:56,870 --> 00:12:55,040
thank you and next up we have denise

287
00:12:59,030 --> 00:12:56,880
chao

288
00:13:01,350 --> 00:12:59,040
hi thanks for taking my question um

289
00:13:03,829 --> 00:13:01,360
we've been receiving reports of a strong

290
00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:03,839
earthquake off the coast of indonesia

291
00:13:07,269 --> 00:13:05,360
and i was just wondering if you've flown

292
00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:07,279
over that region and seen anything or if

293
00:13:14,310 --> 00:13:08,880
you plan to photograph it later on in

294
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:16,550
denise actually we had not heard about

295
00:13:21,350 --> 00:13:17,920
that and uh

296
00:13:23,509 --> 00:13:21,360
and and hopefully um it's uh limited in

297
00:13:24,389 --> 00:13:23,519
its impact to to folks in that area i

298
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,399
know

299
00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:26,720
there's a there's been a lot of history

300
00:13:30,629 --> 00:13:28,560
from our perspective here on board space

301
00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:30,639
station there are certain times when we

302
00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:33,600
have the opportunity to see

303
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:34,720
to see

304
00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:36,720
at least the results of tsunamis the

305
00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:39,440
results of natural disasters and there

306
00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:41,519
are some rare occasions that if the sun

307
00:13:45,670 --> 00:13:44,240
angle is just right we can actually see

308
00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:45,680
some of those internal waves some of

309
00:13:50,069 --> 00:13:47,680
those waves as they propagate across the

310
00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:50,079
ocean surface and now that you've

311
00:13:54,150 --> 00:13:52,240
mentioned it i think well i'm sure that

312
00:13:55,670 --> 00:13:54,160
our earth observations teams on the

313
00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:55,680
ground are probably already looking at

314
00:13:59,590 --> 00:13:57,920
those kind of opportunities for us and

315
00:14:02,069 --> 00:13:59,600
for our part i think we'll do our best

316
00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:02,079
to to take whatever image we can for

317
00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:10,470
thank you and also um i was wondering if

318
00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:11,920
either of you have been following the

319
00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:13,440
situation in north korea with their

320
00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:15,199
upcoming launch and if you had any

321
00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:23,910
and uh

322
00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:26,160
i think in general we haven't had a lot

323
00:14:30,790 --> 00:14:28,320
of opportunity to follow the news i'm

324
00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:30,800
aware that a launch is being prepared

325
00:14:34,629 --> 00:14:31,839
and

326
00:14:36,790 --> 00:14:34,639
beyond that the specifics of the launch

327
00:14:40,470 --> 00:14:36,800
at least i for one am not aware of a lot

328
00:14:46,949 --> 00:14:42,470
thank you

329
00:14:50,069 --> 00:14:46,959
robert perlman

330
00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:50,079
collectspace.com

331
00:14:54,069 --> 00:14:51,839
uh i'm currently standing on the shuttle

332
00:14:56,389 --> 00:14:54,079
landing facility standing next to the

333
00:14:59,110 --> 00:14:56,399
shuttle carrier aircraft and to work off

334
00:15:01,350 --> 00:14:59,120
uh marsha's question from earlier uh for

335
00:15:03,110 --> 00:15:01,360
dan and don as shuttle veterans uh is

336
00:15:04,629 --> 00:15:03,120
this an event uh the delivery of

337
00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:04,639
discovery and the other well of

338
00:15:08,470 --> 00:15:06,639
discovery and then enterprise something

339
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:08,480
that you'll be able to follow along or

340
00:15:12,550 --> 00:15:10,480
you've requested to follow along

341
00:15:14,870 --> 00:15:12,560
on board station

342
00:15:18,069 --> 00:15:14,880
we'd be able to watch the delivery and

343
00:15:25,590 --> 00:15:18,079
what does this transition in general

344
00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:28,069
and uh robert uh welcome as far as

345
00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:30,560
actually following uh the flight uh from

346
00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:32,480
our perspective up here at 400

347
00:15:37,110 --> 00:15:34,240
kilometers there's actually

348
00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:37,120
relatively little opportunity to see

349
00:15:41,110 --> 00:15:39,440
anything even as large as the the sca

350
00:15:43,269 --> 00:15:41,120
the shuttle carrier aircraft with

351
00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:43,279
discovery made it to it um we're able to

352
00:15:48,069 --> 00:15:46,160
see the evidence of ships and of uh of

353
00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:48,079
planes in the form of wakes and

354
00:15:51,990 --> 00:15:50,320
contrails if the lighting is just right

355
00:15:53,829 --> 00:15:52,000
but it's really difficult to get the

356
00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:53,839
kind of resolution to see much beyond

357
00:15:57,990 --> 00:15:56,399
that as as far as from a personal

358
00:16:01,990 --> 00:15:58,000
standpoint following along i think we're

359
00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:02,000
all very um and on one hand uh sad to

360
00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:04,160
see the shuttles retire but on another

361
00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:06,639
uh also happy to have the opportunity to

362
00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:09,600
move on to new and hopefully

363
00:16:17,030 --> 00:16:15,509
and for don i wonder if you could give

364
00:16:19,189 --> 00:16:17,040
us an update on

365
00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:19,199
uh on your trusty

366
00:16:23,110 --> 00:16:21,120
zucchini and

367
00:16:24,310 --> 00:16:23,120
in a general sense how important is it

368
00:16:34,310 --> 00:16:24,320
to

369
00:16:38,629 --> 00:16:35,910
uh well uh

370
00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:38,639
space zucchini's doing fine

371
00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:41,279
and uh i probably get the most benefit

372
00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:44,160
out of uh him or her

373
00:16:48,389 --> 00:16:46,959
or it uh just because i'm i'm the

374
00:16:52,150 --> 00:16:48,399
gardener

375
00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:52,160
and and so gardner has its privileges

376
00:16:57,990 --> 00:16:55,360
uh it it tur i i am a little surprised i

377
00:17:00,550 --> 00:16:58,000
uh i uh fire off these these little

378
00:17:02,949 --> 00:17:00,560
blogs and i don't get much feedback so

379
00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:02,959
i'm i am surprised that other people

380
00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:07,120
seem to be following what's going on to

381
00:17:11,669 --> 00:17:09,839
my space zucchini and i understand that

382
00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:11,679
that my space zucchini even has a

383
00:17:15,669 --> 00:17:14,319
twitter account so uh

384
00:17:18,470 --> 00:17:15,679
anyway

385
00:17:20,949 --> 00:17:18,480
uh i it brings a smile to my face to see

386
00:17:22,870 --> 00:17:20,959
that that people are interested in such

387
00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:22,880
trimmings

388
00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:25,280
associated with the serious business of

389
00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:34,710
station this is jscpao we now will take

390
00:17:38,150 --> 00:17:36,400
a few questions from twitter followers

391
00:17:40,549 --> 00:17:38,160
on our phone bridge shannon moore is

392
00:17:42,630 --> 00:17:40,559
first shannon with your question

393
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:42,640
hi this is shannon moore a geekbomb from

394
00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:45,200
twitter a lot of astronauts time on

395
00:17:49,590 --> 00:17:47,440
station is spent performing experiments

396
00:17:51,669 --> 00:17:49,600
and maintaining critical systems how do

397
00:17:53,350 --> 00:17:51,679
you find time to relax keep in touch

398
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:53,360
with your family back on earth and

399
00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:55,200
create the incredible photographs and

400
00:18:02,549 --> 00:17:57,919
educational videos like dawn science of

401
00:18:06,789 --> 00:18:03,750
well

402
00:18:07,990 --> 00:18:06,799
we we can't work 24 hours a day even

403
00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:08,000
though

404
00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:10,559
it would it we'd get a lot done if we

405
00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:11,440
could

406
00:18:14,630 --> 00:18:12,880
and we

407
00:18:17,590 --> 00:18:14,640
we get an eight-hour block of time

408
00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:17,600
allocated for sleep and we typically

409
00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:20,640
work from around seven in the morning to

410
00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:23,120
about uh seven in the evening and then

411
00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,000
maybe another hour or so after that to

412
00:18:30,950 --> 00:18:28,480
catch up on loose ends and and outside

413
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:30,960
of that time outside of about a 13 or

414
00:18:36,310 --> 00:18:33,760
14-hour period it's our off-duty time

415
00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:36,320
and we could do whatever off-duty

416
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:38,320
activities are available on space

417
00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:40,880
station and so that's when we could take

418
00:18:47,590 --> 00:18:45,360
the moments to set up cameras or you can

419
00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:47,600
read books you can do whatever you want

420
00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:50,160
to do in that block of time and it's an

421
00:18:54,230 --> 00:18:51,760
individual thing things that are

422
00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:54,240
required for you to

423
00:19:00,070 --> 00:18:56,880
maintain yourself you can contact your

424
00:19:02,150 --> 00:19:00,080
family uh whatever hobby interests uh

425
00:19:05,190 --> 00:19:02,160
tickle your imagination while you are up

426
00:19:07,990 --> 00:19:05,200
here and are con mentor with uh with the

427
00:19:12,630 --> 00:19:11,029
thank you

428
00:19:14,390 --> 00:19:12,640
and next we have john knight on the

429
00:19:16,870 --> 00:19:14,400
phone john

430
00:19:19,029 --> 00:19:16,880
hi good morning this is john knight aka

431
00:19:20,470 --> 00:19:19,039
john m night on twitter my question for

432
00:19:22,630 --> 00:19:20,480
the crew this morning is of all the

433
00:19:25,029 --> 00:19:22,640
experience the experiments you performed

434
00:19:27,190 --> 00:19:25,039
up on station which one had results that

435
00:19:28,789 --> 00:19:27,200
surprised or delighted you and please

436
00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:28,799
feel free to include any of your recent

437
00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:38,789
well i'll i'll talk about two

438
00:19:41,830 --> 00:19:40,400
experiments one is a serious

439
00:19:43,909 --> 00:19:41,840
programmatic experiment it has to do

440
00:19:46,549 --> 00:19:43,919
with combustion and

441
00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:46,559
when scientists talk about

442
00:19:50,950 --> 00:19:49,360
the physics and chemistry of flames they

443
00:19:52,789 --> 00:19:50,960
call it combustion everybody else just

444
00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:52,799
says that we've got fire

445
00:19:58,070 --> 00:19:55,600
and we have a couple of different pieces

446
00:20:00,549 --> 00:19:58,080
of equipment here on station that we can

447
00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:00,559
investigate combustion processes and we

448
00:20:07,029 --> 00:20:03,679
do that because of gravitational driven

449
00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:07,039
convection fires make heat and the heat

450
00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:08,960
makes gas that are different densities

451
00:20:14,149 --> 00:20:11,679
in the air around them and under gravity

452
00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:14,159
that makes convection and it has a huge

453
00:20:17,110 --> 00:20:16,080
impact in the dynamics of how flames

454
00:20:20,549 --> 00:20:17,120
behave

455
00:20:22,549 --> 00:20:20,559
and you do combustion experiments in a

456
00:20:24,470 --> 00:20:22,559
weightless environment and you no longer

457
00:20:27,750 --> 00:20:24,480
have that artifact and you can actually

458
00:20:29,590 --> 00:20:27,760
look at fundamental behavior of what the

459
00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:29,600
process is going on in the flame without

460
00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:32,000
the gravitational artifact and one of

461
00:20:35,350 --> 00:20:33,360
these i saw

462
00:20:36,870 --> 00:20:35,360
last week with a experiment that we call

463
00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:36,880
baths

464
00:20:40,950 --> 00:20:39,039
and it's an acronym for which i no

465
00:20:43,350 --> 00:20:40,960
longer know what it stands for anymore

466
00:20:45,750 --> 00:20:43,360
it just becomes its own noun and it's

467
00:20:48,630 --> 00:20:45,760
basically burning

468
00:20:49,590 --> 00:20:48,640
plastic objects solid plastic objects in

469
00:20:51,590 --> 00:20:49,600
air

470
00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:51,600
and looking at the conditions under

471
00:20:56,630 --> 00:20:54,320
which the burning object will continue

472
00:20:58,710 --> 00:20:56,640
to burn and under the conditions in

473
00:21:03,029 --> 00:20:58,720
which the the object will

474
00:21:05,590 --> 00:21:03,039
flame out and i was amazed that

475
00:21:07,669 --> 00:21:05,600
these burning hunks of plastic

476
00:21:10,230 --> 00:21:07,679
will continue to burn

477
00:21:12,710 --> 00:21:10,240
even if they're purged with nitrogen

478
00:21:15,909 --> 00:21:12,720
which should have put the flame out but

479
00:21:17,029 --> 00:21:15,919
the nitrogen purge would entrail enough

480
00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:17,039
air

481
00:21:21,830 --> 00:21:19,520
to uh keep the combustion process going

482
00:21:23,830 --> 00:21:21,840
and and what actually put the flame out

483
00:21:25,350 --> 00:21:23,840
was turning all the convection off

484
00:21:28,549 --> 00:21:25,360
around the flame and then it burned out

485
00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:28,559
in about a second and so this

486
00:21:34,789 --> 00:21:32,000
uh this uh uh reestablishes what we

487
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:34,799
teach our kids if you ever catch on fire

488
00:21:42,149 --> 00:21:37,440
fire you stop drop and roll well in

489
00:21:47,990 --> 00:21:42,159
space you stop and float and and and

490
00:21:52,630 --> 00:21:50,230
thank you

491
00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:52,640
in station this is jscpo we'll now take

492
00:21:57,270 --> 00:21:55,120
a few questions that are on twitter

493
00:21:59,270 --> 00:21:57,280
this first one comes from ranaww on

494
00:22:07,430 --> 00:21:59,280
twitter what experiments are you running

495
00:22:10,950 --> 00:22:09,510
okay and we've got a lot of experiments

496
00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:10,960
that we're running on board space

497
00:22:14,470 --> 00:22:12,559
station during our entire time here

498
00:22:16,070 --> 00:22:14,480
there's something on the order of 200.

499
00:22:18,310 --> 00:22:16,080
now with that said a lot of those are

500
00:22:20,149 --> 00:22:18,320
run remotely are run by scientists all

501
00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:20,159
over the world on the ground the ones

502
00:22:24,149 --> 00:22:22,320
that we interact with on a daily basis

503
00:22:26,149 --> 00:22:24,159
up here for example the combustion

504
00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:26,159
experiments that don's been working on

505
00:22:30,470 --> 00:22:28,480
both bass and splice there's an

506
00:22:32,470 --> 00:22:30,480
experiment that all of us right now are

507
00:22:34,789 --> 00:22:32,480
currently involved in called integrated

508
00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:34,799
cardiovascular and that one is one

509
00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:36,480
that's got many many different aspects

510
00:22:39,830 --> 00:22:38,400
it involves exercise it involves

511
00:22:41,510 --> 00:22:39,840
ultrasonic

512
00:22:43,190 --> 00:22:41,520
investigations of changes in the heart

513
00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:43,200
muscle changes in the

514
00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:46,400
the vascular system and

515
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:49,200
there's those are pretty much designed

516
00:22:52,950 --> 00:22:50,880
like a lot of the human research that we

517
00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:52,960
do on space station to figure out how to

518
00:22:57,990 --> 00:22:55,679
keep humans healthy and safe in space

519
00:23:02,230 --> 00:22:58,000
long enough to go far from planet earth

520
00:23:06,870 --> 00:23:03,909
this next question comes from tavi

521
00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:06,880
greener says from olivia age nine does

522
00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:09,120
your appetite and or your sense of taste

523
00:23:20,950 --> 00:23:19,029
well i think for the at least for the

524
00:23:23,190 --> 00:23:20,960
three of us and probably actually for

525
00:23:25,669 --> 00:23:23,200
the six of us in this crew

526
00:23:27,830 --> 00:23:25,679
our appetites are are uh are pretty

527
00:23:29,510 --> 00:23:27,840
strong even on planet earth and i guess

528
00:23:31,270 --> 00:23:29,520
they're at least as strong while you're

529
00:23:33,190 --> 00:23:31,280
up here that's kind of a strange thing

530
00:23:34,950 --> 00:23:33,200
because you would think that floating

531
00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:34,960
around like we do in space that you

532
00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:36,640
wouldn't necessarily need to burn as

533
00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:39,120
many calories but for whatever reason

534
00:23:43,909 --> 00:23:42,559
you do and uh and i think on average

535
00:23:45,669 --> 00:23:43,919
probably all of us up here need

536
00:23:47,669 --> 00:23:45,679
something in the or in excess of 3000

537
00:23:49,029 --> 00:23:47,679
calories a day you almost can't get

538
00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:49,039
enough to eat when you finally get tired

539
00:23:52,870 --> 00:23:51,039
enough at the end of the day

540
00:23:54,310 --> 00:23:52,880
that may be the time that you're you're

541
00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:54,320
not as hungry and you're ready to go to

542
00:23:56,950 --> 00:23:55,919
sleep

543
00:23:57,990 --> 00:23:56,960
i think

544
00:23:59,669 --> 00:23:58,000
uh for

545
00:24:02,310 --> 00:23:59,679
well for all of us in general our

546
00:24:03,830 --> 00:24:02,320
activity levels tend to be pretty high

547
00:24:05,430 --> 00:24:03,840
which probably accounts for some of that

548
00:24:07,590 --> 00:24:05,440
we do exercise a lot about two and a

549
00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:07,600
half hours a day total

550
00:24:11,269 --> 00:24:09,600
as far as the taste changes this might

551
00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:11,279
have to do with some of the fluid shift

552
00:24:17,110 --> 00:24:15,360
but for me i like really spicy things

553
00:24:18,710 --> 00:24:17,120
almost spicy to the point where i

554
00:24:21,669 --> 00:24:18,720
couldn't necessarily

555
00:24:26,710 --> 00:24:21,679
eat them on planet earth so hot sauces

556
00:24:31,669 --> 00:24:29,750
this next question comes from eva issa75

557
00:24:33,510 --> 00:24:31,679
are you trying any technological device

558
00:24:40,470 --> 00:24:33,520
that will be used later in ordinary

559
00:24:43,590 --> 00:24:41,269
one

560
00:24:45,830 --> 00:24:43,600
piece of engineering research we we do

561
00:24:47,750 --> 00:24:45,840
scientific research up here which most

562
00:24:49,590 --> 00:24:47,760
people are familiar with we also do

563
00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:49,600
engineering research which is a second

564
00:24:53,110 --> 00:24:52,320
facet of space station that we work on

565
00:24:56,230 --> 00:24:53,120
and

566
00:24:58,149 --> 00:24:56,240
these are using pieces of engineering

567
00:25:00,549 --> 00:24:58,159
equipment

568
00:25:02,870 --> 00:25:00,559
and and using them

569
00:25:04,630 --> 00:25:02,880
one of a kind serial number zero one

570
00:25:07,350 --> 00:25:04,640
kind of piece of equipment working the

571
00:25:09,669 --> 00:25:07,360
bugs out so that we can can make

572
00:25:10,630 --> 00:25:09,679
spacecraft in the future

573
00:25:12,470 --> 00:25:10,640
uh

574
00:25:14,630 --> 00:25:12,480
and and use the technology that we

575
00:25:16,710 --> 00:25:14,640
develop so in this engineering research

576
00:25:18,950 --> 00:25:16,720
one piece of equipment we're working on

577
00:25:21,190 --> 00:25:18,960
is uh regenerative life support

578
00:25:23,269 --> 00:25:21,200
equipment and so

579
00:25:25,990 --> 00:25:23,279
the the keystone in this regenerative

580
00:25:27,430 --> 00:25:26,000
life support is

581
00:25:29,510 --> 00:25:27,440
three pieces of equipment that are all

582
00:25:31,510 --> 00:25:29,520
hooked together our toilet

583
00:25:34,710 --> 00:25:31,520
uh distillation outfit and then our

584
00:25:37,909 --> 00:25:34,720
galley and it allows us to recycle the

585
00:25:40,630 --> 00:25:37,919
water from our urine uh process it

586
00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:40,640
purify it and put it back in the galley

587
00:25:45,350 --> 00:25:43,200
and i like to call it the coffee machine

588
00:25:47,510 --> 00:25:45,360
because it takes yesterday's coffee it

589
00:25:50,710 --> 00:25:47,520
makes it into today's coffee

590
00:25:54,070 --> 00:25:50,720
and this is technology that i i feel is

591
00:25:56,310 --> 00:25:54,080
going to be useful for places on earth

592
00:26:00,070 --> 00:25:56,320
that uh

593
00:26:02,630 --> 00:26:00,080
are under significant water uh shortages

594
00:26:06,310 --> 00:26:02,640
where where we can have equipment that

595
00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:06,320
can uh recycle the water uh in a in a

596
00:26:13,830 --> 00:26:07,360
small

597
00:26:17,830 --> 00:26:15,669
okay this next question comes from data

598
00:26:19,909 --> 00:26:17,840
check you are both researcher and

599
00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:19,919
researchee what is the most difficult

600
00:26:32,149 --> 00:26:30,549
to me the the most difficult part of the

601
00:26:32,950 --> 00:26:32,159
research e

602
00:26:35,669 --> 00:26:32,960
is

603
00:26:38,310 --> 00:26:35,679
getting stuck by needles and having all

604
00:26:40,149 --> 00:26:38,320
this equipment stuck all over you we

605
00:26:41,990 --> 00:26:40,159
wear this side called a cardio press

606
00:26:43,830 --> 00:26:42,000
which is this great big thing that you

607
00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:43,840
put on your hand that basically

608
00:26:48,390 --> 00:26:45,760
immobilizes your hand from doing

609
00:26:51,269 --> 00:26:48,400
anything useful and uh fortunately we

610
00:26:52,549 --> 00:26:51,279
only have to wear that for 24 hours

611
00:26:55,750 --> 00:26:52,559
but uh

612
00:26:58,390 --> 00:26:55,760
it's it it it's the the equipment and

613
00:27:02,230 --> 00:26:58,400
the needles and and the sticking

614
00:27:04,549 --> 00:27:02,240
that uh i probably uh uh shudder the

615
00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:04,559
most at uh however

616
00:27:09,750 --> 00:27:06,640
the the end result of all this equipment

617
00:27:12,549 --> 00:27:09,760
it's pride from our souls but the the

618
00:27:15,909 --> 00:27:12,559
end result from the data is certainly

619
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:15,919
worth the inconvenience of having uh

620
00:27:23,350 --> 00:27:18,480
been on the receiving end of the

621
00:27:29,510 --> 00:27:25,430
okay this next one is probably likely

622
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,870
go ahead andre

623
00:27:39,350 --> 00:27:36,950
well i'd like to address the other side

624
00:27:42,070 --> 00:27:39,360
of doing the research for me uh it's one

625
00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:42,080
of the nicest things is is to stick uh

626
00:27:46,310 --> 00:27:43,840
needles into her daughter and then to

627
00:27:49,430 --> 00:27:46,320
get blood samples uh

628
00:27:51,669 --> 00:27:49,440
it's it's nice to uh to do all this uh

629
00:27:54,070 --> 00:27:51,679
kind of research uh because it also

630
00:27:56,149 --> 00:27:54,080
involves a lot of equipment that uh you

631
00:27:59,590 --> 00:27:56,159
normally don't work with uh on the

632
00:28:01,110 --> 00:27:59,600
ground and uh for example uh we have to

633
00:28:04,149 --> 00:28:01,120
for this experiment integrated

634
00:28:07,269 --> 00:28:04,159
cardiovascular uh we uh we use also the

635
00:28:09,029 --> 00:28:07,279
echo machine and it's very nice to uh to

636
00:28:12,070 --> 00:28:09,039
get good images of

637
00:28:13,190 --> 00:28:12,080
of the heart and uh with with great help

638
00:28:15,669 --> 00:28:13,200
of the ground

639
00:28:17,590 --> 00:28:15,679
so that makes it very rewarding to do

640
00:28:20,310 --> 00:28:17,600
this research on board of the space

641
00:28:25,190 --> 00:28:23,110
and station this is jscpao we have one

642
00:28:27,750 --> 00:28:25,200
more follow-up question that'll about do

643
00:28:30,630 --> 00:28:27,760
it for today

644
00:28:33,430 --> 00:28:30,640
hello this is jill polk again well a

645
00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:33,440
question for dawn and dan since i'm

646
00:28:37,590 --> 00:28:36,000
running for your hometown newspapers

647
00:28:38,870 --> 00:28:37,600
i just wanted to know if there's

648
00:28:40,149 --> 00:28:38,880
anything you would like to say

649
00:28:42,389 --> 00:28:40,159
personally

650
00:28:44,470 --> 00:28:42,399
to the residents in your hometown areas

651
00:28:46,870 --> 00:28:44,480
in oregon and massachusetts

652
00:28:52,950 --> 00:28:46,880
and perhaps even connecticut for don for

653
00:28:56,389 --> 00:28:54,470
well well i guess

654
00:28:58,710 --> 00:28:56,399
i would just say that

655
00:29:00,070 --> 00:28:58,720
cape cod connecticut new england are are

656
00:29:01,190 --> 00:29:00,080
beautiful when you see them from the

657
00:29:03,110 --> 00:29:01,200
ground

658
00:29:05,669 --> 00:29:03,120
they're uh even more so when you see

659
00:29:09,830 --> 00:29:05,679
them from space and and i'll be home

660
00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:12,070
and and for all the folks around

661
00:29:17,269 --> 00:29:14,720
silverton oregon uh when i was growing

662
00:29:20,549 --> 00:29:17,279
up there it's a community effort to

663
00:29:22,549 --> 00:29:20,559
educate kids growing up and you pay that

664
00:29:24,710 --> 00:29:22,559
through your local taxes and it supports

665
00:29:27,350 --> 00:29:24,720
your schools and there's there's

666
00:29:29,110 --> 00:29:27,360
probably no way i'd be where i am right

667
00:29:31,430 --> 00:29:29,120
now if it wasn't for

668
00:29:34,710 --> 00:29:31,440
people willing to support the schools

669
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:34,720
and give their kids a the best education

670
00:29:45,430 --> 00:29:41,190
as station this is houston acr that

671
00:29:48,870 --> 00:29:46,950
and to all thanks very much for your

672
00:29:50,950 --> 00:29:48,880
participation for a great event and
