4
00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:20,800
life support is a pilot's last defense

5
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:22,640
of life saving

6
00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:24,160
what they say is who are you gonna trust

7
00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:25,840
when you lose your thrust

8
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:28,240
they have to know what they have to do

9
00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:30,400
in order to stay alive if they have to

10
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:33,360
eject and the proper positioning the

11
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:35,680
proper techniques and if there's

00:00:39,190 --> 00:00:37,280
anything wrong

15
00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:43,280
line over what they have to do

16
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:46,239

26
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:11,760

i never thought i'd be working with the

34
00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:30,799
astronauts and part of our job was to go

35
00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:31,600
out

36
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:33,119
and retrieve the astronauts from the

37
00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:35,280
space shuttle when they landed here and

38
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:36,960
we had to

39
00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:38,720
shadow them around to make sure they're

40
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:40,560
okay the other parts of it is the

41
00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:43,520
airborne science and we get to travel to

42
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:45,680
different places

43
00:01:50,069 --> 00:01:47,680
