00:00:12,659 --> 00:00:10,480
it's the launch day it's a little windy

3
00:00:14,430 --> 00:00:12,669
out here today it's a beautiful day a

4
00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:14,440
little windy he's got me concerned my

5
00:00:20,730 --> 00:00:17,080
launched intuition his a tingling a bit

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:20,740
I grew up here in Florida I came to this

7
00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:22,570
very spot out here in the cosway's a kid

8
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:23,980
my dad would take us to launches all the

9
00:00:30,179 --> 00:00:27,849
time so personally it's like the kid in

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:30,189
me comes out when I come here it's

11
00:00:33,870 --> 00:00:32,410
really cool I've been on both sides of

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:33,880
it I've been a researcher and then I'm

13
00:00:38,220 --> 00:00:36,250
gonna now helping researchers and I

14
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:38,230
gotta say it's it's nervous of both

15
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:40,690
sides you have a lot of worried I guess

16
00:00:45,150 --> 00:00:42,160
as a scientist you have a lot of work

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:45,160
involved as a payload provider you hope

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:46,810
you've checked all the boxes and you've

19
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:48,010
done all that you can do to make

20
00:00:51,930 --> 00:00:49,510
everything work for the researcher so

21
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:51,940
that they get good data it's not easy to

22
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:53,350
put it even the most simplest payloads

23
00:00:58,350 --> 00:00:56,170
and on the space station but it's worth

24
00:01:00,360 --> 00:00:58,360
it so worth all the work I think some of

25
00:01:02,430 --> 00:01:00,370
the biggest discoveries we have we've

26
00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:02,440
made and are going to fire up on the

27
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:05,369
space station it's incredibly important

28
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:07,450
well we've been really nervous all the

29
00:01:12,389 --> 00:01:09,579
way up until right this moment nervous

30
00:01:16,349 --> 00:01:12,399
that our our dreams aren't actually

31
00:01:19,069 --> 00:01:16,359
gonna happen but now that the you know

32
00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:19,079
larger countdown is happening and the

33
00:01:22,289 --> 00:01:21,070
Rockets all fueled up and everything

34
00:01:24,330 --> 00:01:22,299
looks like it's gonna happen on time

35
00:01:26,219 --> 00:01:24,340
it's it's getting really exciting the

36
00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:26,229
last you know 15 minute window before it

37
00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:29,320
takes off you know thanks to cases for

38
00:01:32,219 --> 00:01:30,880
funding this thanks to NanoRacks for

39
00:01:34,139 --> 00:01:32,229
help us coordinate and making the

40
00:01:35,999 --> 00:01:34,149
hardware and coordinating all the data

41
00:01:37,289 --> 00:01:36,009
collection - thank you for the

42
00:01:40,679 --> 00:01:37,299
astronauts who are gonna be working on

43
00:01:43,050 --> 00:01:40,689
this project on station so a lot of a

44
00:01:45,029 --> 00:01:43,060
lot of people worked on this it's not

45
00:01:46,030 --> 00:01:45,039
just the two of us it's it's been a lot

46
00:01:54,150 --> 00:01:46,040
of people so

47
00:01:59,500 --> 00:01:56,850
[Music]

48
00:02:01,330 --> 00:01:59,510
Falcon nine and cargo dragon take flight

49
00:02:03,220 --> 00:02:01,340
bound for the International Space

50
00:02:05,470 --> 00:02:03,230
Station with fresh supplies and research

51
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:05,480
hoping to maintain our human presence in

52
00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:08,000
space as the station celebrates its 20th

53
00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:22,650
[Music]

54
00:02:28,170 --> 00:02:24,600
if we incredible just to watch it no

55
00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:28,180
matter what but knowing that we have a

56
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:30,070
personal investment in it makes it it

57
00:02:34,980 --> 00:02:32,170
makes a big difference yeah so it's just

58
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:34,990
knowing that something that we've been

59
00:02:39,210 --> 00:02:37,570
working on is on it and and then

60
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:39,220
watching the whole like the whole

61
00:02:45,510 --> 00:02:43,540
experience makes it just different it it

62
00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:45,520
really I can't find the right words to

63
00:02:52,410 --> 00:02:49,780
explain it definitely feel like the work

64
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:52,420
leading up to it was worthwhile watching

65
00:02:58,230 --> 00:02:55,570
of your best man yeah and like someone

66
00:03:02,910 --> 00:02:58,240
that you've been working with for such a

67
00:03:05,070 --> 00:03:02,920
long time and it's just it's yeah I

68
00:03:07,860 --> 00:03:05,080
think you couldn't get better that's

69
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:07,870
what I can say yeah

70
00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:11,110
I didn't want to do it with it yeah but

71
00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:36,330
[Music]

72
00:03:40,660 --> 00:03:39,160
our scientist experiment is officially

73
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:40,670
on its way to the International Space

74
00:03:45,250 --> 00:03:43,490
Station the SpaceX Dragon capsule that

75
00:03:47,650 --> 00:03:45,260
gives the research its ride to low-earth

76
00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:47,660
orbit now must make the last leg of its

77
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:49,340
journey to the hands of the astronauts

78
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:52,310
in microgravity what's neat for us is

79
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:54,170
we've got cargo vehicles coming on going

80
00:03:59,620 --> 00:03:56,480
to the ISS all the time it is really

81
00:04:01,270 --> 00:03:59,630
like a busy parking lot vehicles come in

82
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:01,280
they stay for a few months we do a whole

83
00:04:03,610 --> 00:04:02,330
bunch of science and then they leave

84
00:04:05,830 --> 00:04:03,620
again and before you know it the next

85
00:04:07,660 --> 00:04:05,840
one's coming up now what's important to

86
00:04:10,180 --> 00:04:07,670
remember is that these vehicles cannot

87
00:04:11,170 --> 00:04:10,190
dock themselves to the space station we

88
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:11,180
have to bring them in to the space

89
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:13,310
station utilizing robotics and what I

90
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:15,650
like to tell people is performing

91
00:04:19,330 --> 00:04:17,840
robotics going out and capturing that

92
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:19,340
vehicle it's like a really difficult

93
00:04:24,220 --> 00:04:22,610
video game and so we practice over and

94
00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:24,230
over and over again using computer

95
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:26,630
simulations on how to actually capture

96
00:04:31,390 --> 00:04:28,490
that cargo vehicle to bring it into

97
00:04:33,220 --> 00:04:31,400
station once that cargo vehicle docks to

98
00:04:35,230 --> 00:04:33,230
station we do a series of pressure

99
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:35,240
checks and equalize that pressure with

100
00:04:39,310 --> 00:04:36,710
the International Space Station and

101
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:39,320
finally we get to open the hatch very

102
00:04:43,390 --> 00:04:41,450
quickly the crew starts to move because

103
00:04:45,010 --> 00:04:43,400
we've got some experiments that are

104
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:45,020
actually kept at certain temperatures

105
00:04:48,460 --> 00:04:46,880
and we have to transfer them quickly out

106
00:04:50,850 --> 00:04:48,470
and keep them at the same temperature

107
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:50,860
they are on board the space station

108
00:04:54,970 --> 00:04:53,450
Alain and Paris news research is one of

109
00:04:57,070 --> 00:04:54,980
the experiments that requires quick

110
00:04:58,990 --> 00:04:57,080
unloading stored at a constant

111
00:05:01,300 --> 00:04:59,000
temperature to ensure the hydrogels stay

112
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:01,310
intact it's one of the first items that

113
00:05:05,890 --> 00:05:03,890
astronauts must remove from Dragon then

114
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:05,900
with the experiment finally aboard the

115
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:06,650
space station

116
00:05:14,020 --> 00:05:08,450
it's time to conduct science in

117
00:05:16,270 --> 00:05:14,030
microgravity this was fantastic for me

118
00:05:19,450 --> 00:05:16,280
this is what I do this means a lot to me

119
00:05:20,590 --> 00:05:19,460
as a clinician and so it was really neat

120
00:05:24,970 --> 00:05:20,600
to be able to perform that sort of
