you hear us i hear you just fine

11
00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:32,160
greetings from the kennedy space center

12
00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:35,200
on a very chilly morning

13
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:38,160
let me just start off with saying a big

14
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:40,960
hello and two big stories down here on

15
00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:42,960
earth this morning hurricane sandy and

16
00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:45,360
the presidential election so my first

17
00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:46,879
questions we'll touch on those two

18
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:48,000
subjects

19
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:50,160
have you managed to see hurricane sandy

20
00:00:57,670 --> 00:00:52,160
from orbit

21
00:01:01,830 --> 00:00:59,270
yeah as a matter of fact yesterday we

22
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:01,840
had a couple orbits which uh were over

23
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:04,320
the east coast and then the uh middle of

24
00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:06,000
the country so we got a couple

25
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:08,159
perspectives a couple views on it you

26
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:10,400
know for the last couple days my folks

27
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:13,360
are from new england so i'd heard about

28
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:15,360
it and i wanted to take a look but the

29
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:17,600
days prior it was just a mass of white

30
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:19,920
clouds and yesterday we really could see

31
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:22,560
the big swirl and as it was covering you

32
00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:24,720
know passed into the atlantic ocean all

33
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:26,479
the way practically to chicago

34
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:28,159
it's pretty huge i hope everybody down

35
00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:33,109
and the other story the presidential

36
00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:35,119
election i'd like to know

37
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:38,000
if you've both voted absentee prior to

38
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:39,840
flight or

39
00:01:46,389 --> 00:01:41,119
whether you might be doing that from

40
00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:48,389
hi marsha this is uh kevin ford just

41
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:51,280
arrived on board and i i personally i

42
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:53,520
just voted absentee

43
00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:56,320
i was a military guy and was in the air

44
00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:57,200
force

45
00:02:02,310 --> 00:01:59,360
active for 18 years before coming over

46
00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:02,320
to nasa and so voted absentee a lot

47
00:02:05,910 --> 00:02:03,840
absentee voting is one of those things

48
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:05,920
that's available to many of our troops

49
00:02:10,389 --> 00:02:07,920
and citizens overseas and i just used

50
00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:10,399
the absentee technique to cast my ballot

51
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:12,400
for the presidential election

52
00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:14,560
just before i left kazakhstan to come up

53
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:21,589
and marcia i did the same thing luckily

54
00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:23,440
the window opened right before our

55
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:26,400
launch in july and i absentee voted from

56
00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:28,239
kazakhstan just like

57
00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:29,440
kevin and

58
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:31,280
my husband carried the envelope back and

59
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:33,280
put it back in the mail so both of us

60
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:34,239
have our

61
00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:36,560
ballots in and we'll see if

62
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:39,360
maybe we pick the right candidate

63
00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:41,280
now commander williams did i hear you

64
00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:42,959
say in a previous interview that you're

65
00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:44,800
actually a resident of florida and

66
00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:46,959
that's where you cast your vote and and

67
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:48,480
colonel ford i'm going to assume you're

68
00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:55,350
yep that's correct i have was a resident

69
00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:57,040
of florida since i went to flight school

70
00:03:00,149 --> 00:02:58,239
and i'm not going to count how many

71
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:00,159
years ago that was but i've been a

72
00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,440
resident of florida for quite some time

73
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:05,360
and sonny can still get by with that

74
00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:07,280
because she is active duty military i

75
00:03:11,509 --> 00:03:08,800
actually retired from active duty

76
00:03:13,030 --> 00:03:11,519
service about three years ago with 26

77
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:13,040
years in the air force i'm a little bit

78
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:14,640
older than sonny is

79
00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:16,640
and at that point i became a texas

80
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:19,040
resident so i did cast my ballot from

81
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:20,800
texas

82
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:23,280
thank you for helping clear that up

83
00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:25,760
another news at least big news here on

84
00:03:30,550 --> 00:03:27,599
the space coast atlantis is going to be

85
00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:30,560
making its move friday from the

86
00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:32,959
vab over to the visitors center and it's

87
00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:35,120
it's the last shuttle to depart the

88
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:37,920
hangar um and it's going to be a it's

89
00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:39,920
going to mark a real end for so many of

90
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:41,599
those who stuck it out to the end only

91
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:43,360
to be uh

92
00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:45,040
getting their pink slips and i'm what's

93
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:47,280
your thoughts on the final journey of

94
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:49,280
the final shuttle to leave home here

95
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:51,680
even though it's not going far and and

96
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:53,680
and what would you tell all those uh men

97
00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:55,040
and women who

98
00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:02,869
well the first thing i'd tell them is

99
00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:05,360
that they made a huge contribution uh to

100
00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:06,720
the progress of this country and the

101
00:04:12,390 --> 00:04:09,599
progress of of mankind for that matter

102
00:04:14,229 --> 00:04:12,400
so um what what they did was it was a

103
00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:14,239
wonderful thing that they did in their

104
00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:15,280
life

105
00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,359
we all feel that way about the shuttles

106
00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:19,440
it's it's great to see them all safely

107
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:21,359
getting to their their final places

108
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:23,360
where people can come visit them

109
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:26,400
and and see those shuttles first hand

110
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:29,120
and really admire them and think about

111
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:30,880
what we did for 30 years in the shuttle

112
00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:32,160
program

113
00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:33,759
so um

114
00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:35,759
as far as you know changing changing

115
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:37,440
careers and all that sort of thing that

116
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:40,160
happens to all of us uh in the military

117
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:42,160
sometimes that things change and we have

118
00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:44,160
to make transitions to new career fields

119
00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:46,240
those people are all super talented and

120
00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:48,320
hopefully we find a great place for them

121
00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:50,880
to make contributions if it's not in our

122
00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:52,720
future space program and other areas of

123
00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:54,960
technology they're all really super well

124
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,400
qualified to go out there and do many

125
00:05:00,710 --> 00:04:58,800
many other things and and contribute to

126
00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:00,720
the economy so that's what i would say

127
00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:02,880
to them and they're all uh wonderful

128
00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:04,720
people and and we want to keep them keep

129
00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:07,600
them in the family if we can and

130
00:05:11,029 --> 00:05:09,600
anything that yeah just be proud of the

131
00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:11,039
work they've done i mean we wouldn't be

132
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:12,479
here on the international space station

133
00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:14,479
if it wasn't for the successful work of

134
00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:15,840
the space shuttles bringing all these

135
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:17,759
modules up here so

136
00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:20,160
it was the workhorse for 30 years

137
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:22,000
but things change and it's time to move

138
00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:23,600
on to new technology and those guys

139
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:25,840
those people are primed to jump in it if

140
00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:27,600
they want to jump back into the the

141
00:05:31,430 --> 00:05:29,680
space business but like kevin said i'm

142
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:31,440
sure there's many places that their

143
00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:33,600
talents would be wanted and desires and

144
00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:35,039
we can't thank them enough for the work

145
00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:37,039
that they've done

146
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:39,280
thank you um uh commander williams

147
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:40,560
you're going to be setting the bar even

148
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:42,639
higher uh later this week for women's

149
00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:44,160
spacewalkers

150
00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:45,039
um

151
00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:46,639
any extra risks you're going to be

152
00:05:50,469 --> 00:05:48,000
taking out there since you're dealing

153
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:50,479
with an ammonia leak and the location is

154
00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:57,830
well i think the the biggest risk is uh

155
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:00,479
we don't know everything about uh the

156
00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:02,720
situation the problem that's out there

157
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:05,039
and uh i think there's gonna be we we

158
00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:07,840
have a great plan on board right now

159
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:10,319
we've got a great eva team and flight

160
00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:12,800
control team and systems team who's been

161
00:06:16,950 --> 00:06:15,120
working on this ammonia problem

162
00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:16,960
and we're going to do our best to

163
00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:18,880
do the procedures that they tell us to

164
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:21,120
do we have a lot of extra procedures

165
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:23,520
just in case things don't go exactly as

166
00:06:26,469 --> 00:06:24,560
planned

167
00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:26,479
but we've dealt with ammonia before on

168
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:27,520
my

169
00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:30,000
first couple spacewalks last time i was

170
00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:32,560
up here it's sort of interesting we

171
00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:34,720
retracted this exact radiator that we're

172
00:06:39,029 --> 00:06:36,560
going to deploy and so we dealt with

173
00:06:42,070 --> 00:06:39,039
ammonia lines and we did go through all

174
00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:42,080
the procedures that are tested out for

175
00:06:46,150 --> 00:06:44,319
ammonia problems so i have great

176
00:06:47,909 --> 00:06:46,160
confidence that you know we're going to

177
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:47,919
get get out there give it our best shot

178
00:06:52,790 --> 00:06:50,800
hopefully fix this problem probably make

179
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:52,800
the station in a better state than it is

180
00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:55,120
right now in regards to that radiator

181
00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:57,520
and then we'll learn a lot and see what

182
00:07:01,270 --> 00:06:59,360
the next step is so i'm not worried

183
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:01,280
about the ammonia per se we've done

184
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:03,360
we've been down this road before

185
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:05,840
uh speaking of risks i'm wondering are

186
00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:07,520
you taking any extra precautions or

187
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:09,120
doing anything differently because of

188
00:07:14,629 --> 00:07:11,440
the recent breakup of the russian breeze

189
00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:14,639
upper stage i'm what's the latest on

190
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:25,189
well the folks on the ground take care

191
00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:26,880
of all that for us

192
00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:28,319
on board we

193
00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:30,639
of course place all of our trust in the

194
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:32,400
ground teams the space station is

195
00:07:37,909 --> 00:07:34,880
flowing by the the ground and we're just

196
00:07:39,189 --> 00:07:37,919
up here to be uh the the hands ears and

197
00:07:40,790 --> 00:07:39,199
eyes at the

198
00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:40,800
at the point of the experiments and so

199
00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:42,880
they watch in the situation all the time

200
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:44,639
they track as much of the debris as they

201
00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:47,520
can there is a new procedure that is

202
00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:49,520
just on board we were just talking about

203
00:07:53,589 --> 00:07:52,160
it a few days ago to do a quick reaction

204
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:53,599
debris avoidance maneuvers that we

205
00:07:58,950 --> 00:07:56,319
didn't have before so this is just one

206
00:08:02,230 --> 00:07:58,960
more step you know and and the evolution

207
00:08:04,469 --> 00:08:02,240
of uh of learning to fly safely in space

208
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:04,479
for humans to fly safely in space and

209
00:08:07,830 --> 00:08:06,400
and we have this procedure now and if

210
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:07,840
ground calls us up and asks us to

211
00:08:11,830 --> 00:08:10,400
execute it it's coordinated the russians

212
00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:11,840
actually the russian segment provides

213
00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:13,759
the reboost and we get everything all

214
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:15,680
situated and we can get out of the way

215
00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:18,240
of debris in a hurry but as far as the

216
00:08:21,749 --> 00:08:20,080
actual materials itself and the cloud

217
00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:21,759
that's just something handled by ground

218
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:23,520
so that we can worry about our everyday

219
00:08:26,469 --> 00:08:25,120
tasks on board

220
00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:26,479
colonel ford how

221
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:28,319
how much of a heads up how close could

222
00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:30,080
you cut it for one of these new

223
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:32,959
maneuvers uh an hour or two hours or

224
00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:39,750
yeah i hate to go out too much on a limb

225
00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:42,000
i i think it's it's it's several hours

226
00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:44,640
but three or four hours maybe

227
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:46,480
maybe just a little bit more

228
00:08:50,150 --> 00:08:48,560
not exactly certain about that but uh

229
00:08:52,389 --> 00:08:50,160
it's a it's a lot better than it used to

230
00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:52,399
be which was uh which was probably about

231
00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:54,959
24 hours in advance so we've come we

232
00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:57,360
made a big step there

233
00:09:00,470 --> 00:08:58,800
well um

234
00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:00,480
also i'd like to know from my last

235
00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:02,800
question tomorrow's uh halloween happy

236
00:09:06,949 --> 00:09:04,320
halloween to you both are you going to

237
00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:06,959
be dressing up trick-or-treating

238
00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:09,440
what are your plans as you

239
00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:11,360
get ready for a holiday if you have time

240
00:09:19,509 --> 00:09:17,110
well we're going to have somebody come

00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:19,519
on our arrive at our doorstep knock on

242
00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:21,360
wood we hope in four orbits and

243
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:22,959
hopefully they'll be bringing lots of

244
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:24,160
treats

245
00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:26,800
we'll see the progress will be here

246
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:30,000
so that will be sort of neat um for us

247
00:09:33,590 --> 00:09:32,080
we're going to see i've sort of

248
00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:33,600
challenged everybody to see if we have

249
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:35,680
any type of costumes we want to wear and

250
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:37,600

00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:10,320
check from the weather channel and you

266
00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:13,600
will be speaking to kyla grogan

267
00:10:17,269 --> 00:10:15,120
station this is the weather channel how

268
00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:17,279
do you hear me developed as all of this

269
00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:19,200
coming coming to be a bit difficult i'm

sure to be that far away

271
00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:22,480
i don't think we'll have to be on the

272
00:10:26,630 --> 00:10:24,880
air yet go ahead

273
00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:26,640
the international space station here's

274
00:10:29,350 --> 00:10:28,240
the weather channel loud and clear how

275
00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:29,360
do you hear us

276
00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:30,839
latest that we have

qsl 5x5 standby for producer or talent

278
00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:36,800
turn maryland was closed this morning

279
00:10:41,910 --> 00:10:39,200

they'll be getting to you in just a

283
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:48,320
moment in the city in southeast

284
00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:50,160
pennsylvania the transit authority

285
00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:52,560
attempt will be made to restore some

286
00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:54,959
subway service this afternoon of course

287
00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:56,640
so many having a difficult time here a

288
00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:58,959
six-alarm fire that destroyed between

289
00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:00,880
we'll be coming to you momentarily in

290
00:11:05,509 --> 00:11:03,200
breezy point queens has been containing

291
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:05,519
firefighters uh having a difficult time

292
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:08,160
this morning so we are now going to uh

293
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:09,839
talk to we are going over to the

294
00:11:13,910 --> 00:11:11,920
international space station and nasa

295
00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:13,920
temporarily repurposed its tropical

296
00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:16,800
rainfall monitoring satellite to grab 3d

297
00:11:20,470 --> 00:11:18,800
views of the eye of the storm coming to

298
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:20,480
you i'm terrible video sent back well

299
00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:22,720
they really just make you say wow this

300
00:11:26,389 --> 00:11:24,800
morning joining us live from high above

301
00:11:28,630 --> 00:11:26,399
the earth in the international space

302
00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:28,640
station commander suny williams and

303
00:11:35,430 --> 00:11:30,800
flight engineer ken ford good morning to

304
00:11:38,550 --> 00:11:36,790
good morning from the international

305
00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:38,560
space station how is everybody doing

306
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:40,560
down there i hope everybody's

307
00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:46,949
well we are certainly uh having a bit of

308
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:48,720
a rough ride here this morning but we're

309
00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:50,000
happy to see you this morning now you

310
00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:51,920
had an unparalleled view of the massive

311
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:54,240
storm what did it look like from space

312
00:12:00,710 --> 00:11:56,160
when you were looking at this as sandy

313
00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:02,230
well you know i was pretty interested in

314
00:12:06,069 --> 00:12:04,480
my folks are up in the northeast and

315
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:06,079
they had asked the same question hey do

316
00:12:08,949 --> 00:12:07,600
you see it coming do you see it coming

317
00:12:10,550 --> 00:12:08,959
because i think people down south are

318
00:12:12,550 --> 00:12:10,560
starting to get some of the rain in the

319
00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:12,560
in the storm surge and i kept looking

320
00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:14,320
out the window for a couple days and all

321
00:12:19,430 --> 00:12:17,120
i saw was this major mass of white but

322
00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:19,440
then yesterday it was really defined we

323
00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:21,279
had a couple orbits over the northeast

324
00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:23,040
and then the middle of the country you

325
00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:25,040
could really see the swirl

326
00:12:29,190 --> 00:12:26,880
and uh you know the pretty close to the

327
00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:29,200
middle of the hurricane and it was just

328
00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:32,800
massive like i said the cloud cover was

329
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:34,639
like from the chicago area all the way

330
00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:36,880
over into the atlantic and you know

331
00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:38,560
there's people down there that were

332
00:12:42,949 --> 00:12:40,560
we're suffering a lot of wind and rain

333
00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:42,959
and snow and uh we're safe and sound up

334
00:12:47,670 --> 00:12:44,160
here and we're just hoping they're all

335
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:49,190
absolutely now i know nasa has been

336
00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:50,560
tracking the storm with satellites can

337
00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:52,320
you tell us more about the different

338
00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:53,680
satellites and the perspective they're

339
00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:55,760
giving scientists the view that they are

340
00:13:03,590 --> 00:12:57,200
getting from this because of those

341
00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:05,110
well of course the you know the weather

342
00:13:09,829 --> 00:13:07,040
the weather satellite systems uh both

343
00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:09,839
that nasa has in the military have um

344
00:13:14,389 --> 00:13:11,600
when when something like that happens

345
00:13:17,269 --> 00:13:14,399
the storms uh come up a lot of them can

346
00:13:19,670 --> 00:13:17,279
be trained and and watch it and it's

347
00:13:21,269 --> 00:13:19,680
it's a great capability we have

348
00:13:23,030 --> 00:13:21,279
we don't really get that information on

349
00:13:23,829 --> 00:13:23,040
board the space station what what the

350
00:13:25,509 --> 00:13:23,839
other

351
00:13:27,590 --> 00:13:25,519
satellites are doing

352
00:13:30,389 --> 00:13:27,600
we have other things uh that we're

353
00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:30,399
attacked to do during the day but we we

354
00:13:34,949 --> 00:13:32,240
do occasionally just get asked to take

355
00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:34,959
some some video or some

356
00:13:38,310 --> 00:13:37,040
photos of it and provide any information

357
00:13:40,389 --> 00:13:38,320
we can

358
00:13:42,150 --> 00:13:40,399
to help them out but as far as what the

359
00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:42,160
other assets are out there are doing uh

360
00:13:48,150 --> 00:13:44,079
we're not we're not afraid to wear that

361
00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:49,189
all right well we certainly thank you

362
00:13:52,470 --> 00:13:51,120
for the work that you're doing for us uh

363
00:13:54,389 --> 00:13:52,480
that would be commander suny williams

364
00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:54,399
and flight engineer ken ford and now

365
00:13:58,389 --> 00:13:56,320
over to mike and carl at the expert desk

366
00:13:59,750 --> 00:13:58,399
what a cool view for sure kyla thank you

367
00:14:02,629 --> 00:13:59,760
very much and you know we don't often

368
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:02,639
get that perspective you know

369
00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:04,320
