1
00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:02,790
station this is houston are you ready

2
00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:11,990
we are ready for the event

3
00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:13,920
jscpao

4
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:16,160
this is houston please call station for

5
00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:18,480
a voice check

6
00:00:24,750 --> 00:00:21,279
station this is jscpao how do you hear

7
00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:28,630
jscpao we hear you loud and clear

8
00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:30,800
likewise don a lot of questions from

9
00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:33,360
reporters here at jsc and on our phone

10
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:34,880
bridge so we'll start off with robert

11
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:37,200
perlman

12
00:00:44,709 --> 00:00:42,480
and space.com um the three of you look

13
00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:44,719
great inside the dragon i wonder if you

14
00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:46,239
could describe your surroundings a

15
00:00:49,510 --> 00:00:47,760
little bit and

16
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:49,520
would you feel comfortable riding up in

17
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:51,120
one of those in a

18
00:00:59,590 --> 00:00:57,910
well i i spent quite a bit of time

19
00:01:01,029 --> 00:00:59,600
poking around in here this morning just

20
00:01:04,229 --> 00:01:01,039
looking at the engineering and the

21
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:04,239
layout and i'm very pleased

22
00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:05,040
it's

23
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:06,640
it looks like it carries about as much

24
00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:09,200
cargo as i can put my pickup truck

25
00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:10,799
and it's

26
00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:14,400
roomier than a soyuz so flying up in a

27
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:17,280
human-rated dragon is uh not going to be

28
00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:22,230
and

29
00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:23,840
there was a great deal of excitement

30
00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:25,840
down here watching uh the birthing

31
00:01:29,270 --> 00:01:27,840
yesterday the grapple and birthing can

32
00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:29,280
you describe the

33
00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:32,240
um the sense uh aboard the space station

34
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:34,560
did you uh appreciate or did you have a

35
00:01:39,429 --> 00:01:36,240
sense of his of the history that was

36
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:39,439
being made uh as you brought dragon on

37
00:01:48,789 --> 00:01:46,149
what

38
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:48,799
we were pretty much focused on on the

39
00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:51,360
operational aspect of getting dragon and

40
00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:52,640
and i know

41
00:01:57,030 --> 00:01:54,240
same thing when you go out for a space

42
00:01:59,030 --> 00:01:57,040
walk and and a lot of folks think wow is

43
00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:59,040
it this really neat but but we're so

44
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:00,799
focused on making sure we get the job

45
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:02,320
done and making sure we get it done

46
00:02:08,869 --> 00:02:05,360
safely and and these highly operational

47
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:08,879
tasks it's it's not really time to

48
00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:11,680
sit back and and philosophize on what

49
00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:14,800
happens now after the fact then you can

50
00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:17,120
sit around and and think about what

51
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:20,080
happened but but during the event it's

52
00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:25,150
this is philip sloss with

53
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:27,920
nasaspaceflight.com this is for don you

54
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:29,520
ended up doing the grapple yesterday on

55
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:31,200
a night pass and i think he said on the

56
00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:33,280
space to ground yesterday that all the

57
00:02:36,869 --> 00:02:35,360
robot arm lights were out how

58
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:36,879
challenging was the nighttime grapple

59
00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:42,869
actually there's enough stray light

60
00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:45,519
reflecting from station and with dragon

61
00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:48,000
being uh snow white though the

62
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:50,879
visibility was was uh

63
00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:53,680
quite nice and i would not have gone in

64
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:54,959
and done the grapple if i couldn't have

65
00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:57,120
seen what i was doing

66
00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:59,440
the visibility was good from the point

67
00:03:02,070 --> 00:03:01,040
of view and there weren't any shadows

68
00:03:03,910 --> 00:03:02,080
cast

69
00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:03,920
which makes looking at the grapple

70
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:07,040
fixture and the grapple fixture target

71
00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:09,120
uh easy to do

72
00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:10,720
if if we would have had all the lights

73
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:13,360
from the arm on i'm i think the lighting

74
00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:15,120
might have actually been worse in terms

75
00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:17,200
of casting shadows and and making fades

76
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:20,080
a little harder to see

77
00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:22,560
and then is there any robotics upcoming

78
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:24,799
this uh this week before you do the

79
00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:32,869
no robotics involving the crew as as you

80
00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:34,000
are aware

81
00:03:40,229 --> 00:03:36,640
the the robotic arm can be operated from

82
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:40,239
the ground and there's a lot of routine

83
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:42,000
tasks that

84
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:43,200
that the flight controllers on the

85
00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:46,000
ground do with the arm and this uh saves

86
00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:48,000
crew time so that we can concentrate on

87
00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:50,560
doing our payload uh scientific

88
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:52,640
experiments and payload operations up

89
00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:56,000
here and and during

90
00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:58,319
the time that dragon is docked they've

91
00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:00,000
already walked they're planning to walk

92
00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:02,640
the arm off and they're they're going to

93
00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:05,120
translate the mobile trends the the

94
00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:07,360
mobile transporter and they're going to

95
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:09,920
be doing a number of of uh robotic

96
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:11,920
operations and everything will be put

97
00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:13,680
back to where it needs to be

98
00:04:17,509 --> 00:04:15,120
by the time

99
00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:17,519
we do the unbirth and the release of

100
00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:23,830
this is douglas robertson for npr

101
00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:27,040
this is a question for andrew kuipers

102
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:29,520
uh you posted a picture of you in a can

103
00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:30,880
of salmon

104
00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:32,639
certified sustainable by the marine

105
00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:35,759
stewardship council uh why are msc

106
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:38,160
issued sustainably fish certification

107
00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:40,240
and sustainable fishing so important

108
00:04:51,990 --> 00:04:49,030
yes uh well from space

109
00:04:55,830 --> 00:04:52,000
we all realize how limited and fragile

110
00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:55,840
our planet is and to have sustainable

111
00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:57,919
use of all the resources of our planet

112
00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:01,280
is very important and this can be with

113
00:05:05,590 --> 00:05:03,440
with wood from from the tropical forest

114
00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:05,600
but also with fishing it looks like a

115
00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:08,000
huge planet with a lot of ocean but we

116
00:05:12,710 --> 00:05:09,919
also know that fish species are

117
00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:12,720
endangered because of

118
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:16,400
of overfishing so sustainable fishing is

119
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:18,400
very important for our planet and

120
00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:20,080
i care a lot about this planet and i

121
00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:21,120
hope to

122
00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:23,199
to give it on to future generations who

123
00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:24,880
can also then enjoy

124
00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:27,360
the resource of our planet and that's

125
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:29,360
the reason why i think this uh

126
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:31,680
is a good thing let's be careful with

127
00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:33,600
what we have

128
00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:36,240
did the msc ask you to mention the

129
00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:51,189
well nobody asked me to to do this this

130
00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:52,960
is uh

131
00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:55,520
something that i care about myself and

132
00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:57,440
uh and for the this

133
00:06:01,270 --> 00:05:59,120
this planet so it has

134
00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:01,280
nothing to do with any uh

135
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:08,070
okay so there's no uh relationship uh

136
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:18,390
that's that's affirmative that's

137
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:23,590
astronaut i'm also

138
00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:24,240
a

139
00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:43,919
this is this is pure

140
00:06:50,230 --> 00:06:47,520
my interest to keep sustainable fishery

141
00:06:51,749 --> 00:06:50,240
and other sustainable efforts to to keep

142
00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:51,759
this planet

143
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:53,759
in good shape for uh for the future

144
00:06:57,670 --> 00:06:56,400
generations

145
00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:57,680
station we're going to take questions

146
00:07:01,670 --> 00:06:59,199
now from our phone bridge and we'll

147
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:01,680
start off from sophie garrett from sky

148
00:07:14,629 --> 00:07:12,710
hello from sky news in london

149
00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:14,639
astronauts on board the international

150
00:07:19,830 --> 00:07:16,960
space station have been spending the day

151
00:07:21,909 --> 00:07:19,840
unpacking the latest batch of supplies

152
00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:21,919
the unmanned cargo craft which docked

153
00:07:26,950 --> 00:07:24,160
yesterday is the first privately owned

154
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:26,960
vessel to service the station and marks

155
00:07:32,230 --> 00:07:30,560
the beginning of a new era in space

156
00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:32,240
exploration

157
00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:35,199
well hopefully we can now go live to

158
00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:37,759
space and speak to three of the

159
00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:40,160
astronauts on board just be aware i

160
00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:41,919
think there is quite a long delay on

161
00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:44,400
this that isn't surprising uh good

162
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:46,160
afternoon to you gentlemen great to talk

163
00:07:50,550 --> 00:07:48,960
to you live on sky news now tell us

164
00:07:53,589 --> 00:07:50,560
touch and go as to whether this

165
00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:53,599
spacecraft would reach the station

166
00:07:58,230 --> 00:07:56,560
describe for us what it's like inside

167
00:08:05,589 --> 00:07:58,240
and uh what are you most looking forward

168
00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:06,390
well

169
00:08:12,070 --> 00:08:09,520
when when dragon came up and and

170
00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:12,080
it flies in formation near space station

171
00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:14,000
and then we reach out with a robotic arm

172
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:16,319
and snare it and then we birth it to one

173
00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:19,120
of our docking ports and and then it

174
00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:21,599
takes a while to get it opened up and

175
00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:24,000
and we just opened it up this morning

176
00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:27,039
and it's packed with supplies and we're

177
00:08:32,389 --> 00:08:30,000
still in the process of unpacking uh of

178
00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:32,399
of unloading the dragon and then we'll

179
00:08:37,509 --> 00:08:35,120
we'll load uh more supplies in for

180
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:37,519
return to earth

181
00:08:43,269 --> 00:08:38,880
okay we're going to press ahead to

182
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:46,389
hi thanks for the time guys a couple of

183
00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:49,200
questions i guess first of all

184
00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:51,360
if one of you one of you can discuss the

185
00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:53,040
importance of

186
00:08:55,750 --> 00:08:54,480
drag into the space station we've heard

187
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:55,760
a lot about the commercial aspect of

188
00:09:03,990 --> 00:08:58,560
this mission but what does this mean

189
00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:07,990
a dragon is one of several ways we can

190
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:11,040
get supplies up to space station and and

191
00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:13,200
in addition to bringing crews up and

192
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:15,200
down in soyuz now

193
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:16,800
uh we need to

194
00:09:23,190 --> 00:09:19,760
bring supplies up and up and up to space

195
00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:23,200
station for our use and then we need to

196
00:09:26,949 --> 00:09:26,000
be able to dispose of our trash and more

197
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:26,959
important

198
00:09:32,350 --> 00:09:29,760
we need to be able to bring

199
00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:32,360
some of the scientific research

200
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:35,200
experimental samples back down to earth

201
00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:37,120
and with the retirement of the shuttle

202
00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:39,440
we've had very limited capability to do

203
00:09:42,310 --> 00:09:40,640
this and

204
00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:42,320
one of the unique capabilities that

205
00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:44,720
dragon offers is a way to get

206
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:47,760
significant payload back down from space

207
00:09:51,990 --> 00:09:50,000
station

208
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:52,000
okay next is charles atkinson from

209
00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:54,320
examiner.com but they say that morning

210
00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:56,800
charles action examiner.com for dawn can

211
00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:59,200
you describe for me dragon supply

212
00:10:02,829 --> 00:10:00,320
unloading

213
00:10:04,790 --> 00:10:02,839
um and is there enough time on your

214
00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:04,800
timeline and then load up during the

215
00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:06,160
next four days

216
00:10:12,790 --> 00:10:11,829
uh

217
00:10:14,949 --> 00:10:12,800
actually

218
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:14,959
we're gonna have plenty of time to get

219
00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:16,000
dragon

220
00:10:21,269 --> 00:10:18,240
unloaded and then get it loaded back up

221
00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:21,279
we've already pre-staged uh numerous

222
00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:22,560
bags to

223
00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:23,360
for

224
00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:25,920
returning to earth so

225
00:10:30,389 --> 00:10:27,920
so most of the things that we're

226
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:30,399
planning to pack into dragon have have

227
00:10:34,069 --> 00:10:32,640
already been packed so to speak and we

228
00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:34,079
just have to move them into dragon and

229
00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:37,120
strap them in and the the payload going

230
00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:39,680
out uh there there's about as much stuff

231
00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:41,200
in here as i can put in the back of my

232
00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:43,600
pickup truck and i i don't think

233
00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:46,880
there'll be any uh issue with the three

234
00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:48,720
of us working and getting this thing

235
00:10:53,829 --> 00:10:52,399
unloaded over the next few days

236
00:10:55,829 --> 00:10:53,839
we're going on to marcia dunn of the

237
00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:55,839
associated press marcia

238
00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:57,760
yes i'm here i'm hoping you gentlemen

239
00:11:01,350 --> 00:10:58,959
can hear me

240
00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:01,360
uh dr pettit for you and your crewmates

241
00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:03,600
that the heat at the moment is over

242
00:11:08,069 --> 00:11:05,440
yesterday was a success can you

243
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:08,079
philosophize for me please right now on

244
00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:10,480
the historical significance of what you

245
00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:20,150
so you're asking for a philosophical

246
00:11:26,069 --> 00:11:22,640
answer as if i might happen to have one

247
00:11:30,150 --> 00:11:26,079
in my hip pocket uh let's see

248
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:30,160
we all remember the completion of the

249
00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:32,240
transcontinental railroad which opened

250
00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:34,399
up the frontier the western front to the

251
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:37,839
united states and it was celebrated or

252
00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:40,160
commemorated by pounding in a golden

253
00:11:46,710 --> 00:11:43,519
spike and and this is kind of

254
00:11:49,590 --> 00:11:46,720
the equivalent of the golden spike

255
00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:49,600
and one other interesting detail nobody

256
00:11:55,030 --> 00:11:52,800
remembers who pounded that golden spike

257
00:11:58,389 --> 00:11:55,040
in the important thing is remember that

258
00:12:02,150 --> 00:11:58,399
the railroad was completed and was now

259
00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:02,160
open for use to help settle the western

260
00:12:09,590 --> 00:12:07,030
next up we'll talk to james dean from

261
00:12:11,829 --> 00:12:09,600
florida today james

262
00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:11,839
thank you very much joe acaba i'd like

263
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:14,399
to hear your first impressions of dragon

264
00:12:18,790 --> 00:12:16,880
and does its performance so far

265
00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:18,800
give you or and this could could be

266
00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:20,480
asked to any of the other crewmates more

267
00:12:25,509 --> 00:12:22,560
more confidence about the potential for

268
00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:25,519
vehicles like dragon to one day fly you

269
00:12:34,949 --> 00:12:32,310
well i was very fortunate to get up here

270
00:12:36,629 --> 00:12:34,959
in time for the arrival of dragon and

271
00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:36,639
don and andre and the rest of the team

272
00:12:39,670 --> 00:12:38,480
had a great plan so i was able to help

273
00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:39,680
where i could

274
00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:42,079
and so in observing kind of as that

275
00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:44,720
third person it was just phenomenal to

276
00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:46,399
to watch the dragon approach the space

277
00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:49,200
station and see these guys do their job

278
00:12:52,629 --> 00:12:51,120
in grappling it and now attaching it to

279
00:12:53,509 --> 00:12:52,639
the space station

280
00:12:55,269 --> 00:12:53,519
and

281
00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:55,279
i have a lot of confidence in our future

282
00:12:59,350 --> 00:12:57,200
this is a great first step

283
00:13:01,190 --> 00:12:59,360
to move us forward now with the

284
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:01,200
commercialization of this

285
00:13:05,750 --> 00:13:03,760
and like don had said earlier

286
00:13:08,230 --> 00:13:05,760
i think we would feel very comfortable

287
00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:08,240
in a human rated vehicle

288
00:13:15,910 --> 00:13:13,990
next up linda martell planetary science

289
00:13:18,030 --> 00:13:15,920
research

290
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:18,040
good morning hello everyone and

291
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:20,560
congratulations to you all on station

292
00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:22,880
and on planet my question is for don

293
00:13:27,990 --> 00:13:25,600
pettit during your inspections yesterday

294
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:28,000
of the outside of the dragon capsule you

295
00:13:33,190 --> 00:13:31,040
found no micro meteorite damage so my

296
00:13:35,910 --> 00:13:33,200
question is um what would

297
00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:35,920
the micro media micro meteorite impacts

298
00:13:40,310 --> 00:13:37,680
look like and what were you

299
00:13:42,710 --> 00:13:40,320
looking for and if you had seen

300
00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:42,720
micrometer impact damage

301
00:13:46,230 --> 00:13:44,079
how would that have changed the

302
00:13:50,470 --> 00:13:46,240
procedures for birthing or today's hatch

303
00:13:53,670 --> 00:13:51,389
we were

304
00:13:56,389 --> 00:13:53,680
micrometeorites when they impact

305
00:13:59,110 --> 00:13:56,399
aluminum structure make a little crater

306
00:14:01,110 --> 00:13:59,120
it almost looks like the impact crater

307
00:14:03,030 --> 00:14:01,120
that you see

308
00:14:05,910 --> 00:14:03,040
wet east of uh

309
00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:05,920
of uh flagstaff arizona

310
00:14:11,269 --> 00:14:07,680
uh it it

311
00:14:12,790 --> 00:14:11,279
looks like a little meteor crater maybe

312
00:14:15,350 --> 00:14:12,800
a millimeter maybe two or three

313
00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:15,360
millimeters in diameter and

314
00:14:20,629 --> 00:14:18,240
and uh these craters make sharp edges

315
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:20,639
and if they're on mating surfaces for

316
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:24,240
pressure seals they can prevent getting

317
00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:26,000
a good pressure seal

318
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:29,040
and what we inspected yesterday with our

319
00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:32,720
binoculars were the mating seals that

320
00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:36,240
mate to the bottom uh flange surface on

321
00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:37,760
node two here

322
00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:41,519
and and make the pressure seal between

323
00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:44,320
the inside of dragon and the inside of

324
00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:46,720
space station and keep keep the space

325
00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:47,680
station

326
00:14:53,030 --> 00:14:50,560
air from leaking out into space and and

327
00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:53,040
we specifically looked at the these

328
00:14:59,189 --> 00:14:55,279
ceiling surfaces to make sure that there

329
00:15:01,110 --> 00:14:59,199
weren't any micro meteorite damage

330
00:15:03,030 --> 00:15:01,120
next we have jason parr from wired

331
00:15:04,870 --> 00:15:03,040
magazine

332
00:15:07,509 --> 00:15:04,880
i just comment our question is for don

333
00:15:09,590 --> 00:15:07,519
pettit i was curious as the dragon was

334
00:15:11,269 --> 00:15:09,600
approaching and performing some of its

335
00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:11,279
maneuvers yesterday

336
00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:12,480
what were some of the thoughts going

337
00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:14,240
through your head as the team had to

338
00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:16,079
troubleshoot some of the issues that uh

339
00:15:22,069 --> 00:15:19,600
arose that were unplanned and lastly uh

340
00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:22,079
what you felt like for the the final

341
00:15:25,509 --> 00:15:23,760
attachment with the arm did you feel

342
00:15:28,069 --> 00:15:25,519
there's a lot of pressure on yourself

343
00:15:30,949 --> 00:15:28,079
this whole new commercial space endeavor

344
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:30,959
came down to you connecting to uh to

345
00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:39,269
we were pretty much focused on just

346
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:42,320
getting our task done and again there's

347
00:15:46,069 --> 00:15:44,320
there's no time to philosophize when

348
00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:46,079
you're right in the middle of a critical

349
00:15:49,829 --> 00:15:47,680
operation like this

350
00:15:50,870 --> 00:15:49,839
i i would like to say that

351
00:15:54,949 --> 00:15:50,880
the

352
00:15:56,230 --> 00:15:54,959
success or failure of this specific

353
00:15:57,509 --> 00:15:56,240
mission

354
00:16:00,790 --> 00:15:57,519
neither

355
00:16:03,430 --> 00:16:00,800
confirms or

356
00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:03,440
negates the viability of commercial

357
00:16:09,749 --> 00:16:06,399
space flight commercial space flight

358
00:16:12,790 --> 00:16:09,759
will blossom due to its own merits and

359
00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:12,800
and doesn't really hinge on one mission

360
00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:15,920
it it hinges on it will hinge on the

361
00:16:21,749 --> 00:16:18,959
viability of launching many missions

362
00:16:24,470 --> 00:16:21,759
over a long period of time and being

363
00:16:25,590 --> 00:16:24,480
able to provide useful

364
00:16:27,509 --> 00:16:25,600
commercial

365
00:16:32,069 --> 00:16:27,519
goods and services

366
00:16:33,749 --> 00:16:32,079
in the the low earth orbit arena

367
00:16:35,269 --> 00:16:33,759
next we have ken kramer space flight

368
00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:35,279
magazine

369
00:16:39,030 --> 00:16:36,959
i thank you for taking my question and

370
00:16:40,389 --> 00:16:39,040
congratulations on a great job i was

371
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:40,399
wondering there's three of you in there

372
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:42,720
right now do you have any plan to

373
00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:44,480
have the whole crew in there all six

374
00:16:48,629 --> 00:16:46,240
would you take any pictures

375
00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:48,639
uh how easily would you fit and how

376
00:16:53,110 --> 00:16:50,880
easily can you imagine that the dragon

377
00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:53,120
would be converted into a crude vehicle

378
00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:58,629

00:17:06,230 --> 00:17:03,040
period of time we haven't taken any

room in here to hold a barn dance but

383
00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:12,000

through earth's atmosphere

385
00:17:17,909 --> 00:17:16,319
and and into space which is a rather

386
00:17:20,309 --> 00:17:17,919
short period of time

387
00:17:23,669 --> 00:17:20,319

388
00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:23,679
