great we'll start this off with a

9
00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:25,279
question from twitter it's probably for

10
00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:26,880
you chris

11
00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:29,119
it's from rick when they open the hatch

12
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:36,709
it absolutely did in fact there was a

13
00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:38,800
little bit of of space smell in the

14
00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:40,719
vestibule then when we've got

15
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:43,040
that hatch open you could tell it was a

16
00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:44,399
brand new vehicle

17
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:46,879
with uh smiley faces on the other side

18
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:48,480
smiley face on mine

19
00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:51,120
just as if you had bought a new car the

20
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:52,239
same kind of reaction

21
00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:53,760
wonderful to see my friends and

22
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:57,120
wonderful to see a brand new vehicle

23
00:01:06,950 --> 00:00:58,399
all right we'll start off with a

24
00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:08,149
let's start off with a question from

25
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:12,799
bill harwood cbs

26
00:01:17,749 --> 00:01:16,400
hey can you hear me now testing one two

27
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:17,759
could you guys hear me now i'm clear

28
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:19,600
bill

29
00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:21,439
okay sorry about that uh i just want to

30
00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:23,119
go back to what bob was saying yesterday

31
00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:25,040
describing the ride up hill

32
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:26,560
uh you were comparing it a little bit to

33
00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:28,320
shuttle i was more interested in

34
00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:30,159
how did the first stage of the falcon 9

35
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:31,680
feel compared to the shuttle when it was

36
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:32,720
on solid

37
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:35,040
how did the second stage feel you made

38
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:36,320
it sound like maybe a little rougher

39
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:37,840
than the shuttle on the

40
00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:40,000
main engines uh and just wondering if

41
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:41,200
there was ever a point in there when you

42
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:42,880
looked over at doug and went wow this

43
00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:52,149
well bill you took the words right out

44
00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:54,479
of our mouth a summary from yesterday

45
00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:55,840
was good

46
00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:58,719
smoother first stage a little rougher

47
00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:01,119
second stage than we saw on shuttle and

48
00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:03,119
that i think both of us were expecting

49
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:03,680
we did

50
00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:06,000
actually comment on it while we were

51
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:07,439
going uphill i think we tried to

52
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:08,080
verbalize

53
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:10,000
as much of the new experience as we were

54
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:12,080
having just to make sure they were

55
00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:13,680
for real between the two of us we were

56
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:19,430
all right let's go to a question from

57
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:26,790
hi thanks for taking my question stephen

58
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:28,640
clark from space flight now

59
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:30,800
uh just to follow up on that uh what was

60
00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:32,480
the sensation in miku in

61
00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:33,760
station operations since that's

62
00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:35,519
something that was not

63
00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:37,360
experienced really during shuttle to

64
00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:38,879
shut down the engines and then

65
00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:40,879
ignite a new engine in flight i'm also

66
00:02:43,509 --> 00:02:42,560
curious about how your experiences were

67
00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:43,519
with the spacesuits

68
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:50,959
in flight thank you very much

69
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:53,200
i think the question was about the

70
00:02:57,190 --> 00:02:54,640
difference with

71
00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:57,200
uh staging between the space shuttle and

72
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,280
the dragon since we didn't shut down the

73
00:03:03,190 --> 00:03:01,280
main engines on the space shuttle

74
00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:03,200
uh like we went through for first stage

75
00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:05,280
and second stage there was a significant

76
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,800
difference between the solid rocket

77
00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:08,640
boosters on the shuttle in that second

78
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:10,000
stage and so

79
00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:12,000
i think we all definitely felt that

80
00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:13,440
separation and heard the clunk

81
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:15,360
associated with it

82
00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:17,440
doug and i both commented on i think

83
00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:19,120
doug commented on it first that

84
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:22,879
we did feel some uh early zero g when we

85
00:03:26,869 --> 00:03:25,280
came off of the first stage and uh we're

86
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:26,879
getting ready to transition to the

87
00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:28,720
second stage and then we felt that

88
00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:30,159
second stage

89
00:03:34,309 --> 00:03:32,959
light and i think the the next question

90
00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:34,319
was about these suits

91
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:36,080
let's uh doug if you want to talk a

92
00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:37,440
little bit about our experience with the

93
00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:41,910
yeah the suits in general bob and i have

94
00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:42,959
had a uh

95
00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:44,799
ton of time in those suits i bet you

96
00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:47,280
we've donned and doffed those suits

97
00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:49,920
a couple hundred times so the suits

98
00:03:52,869 --> 00:03:50,959
themselves i

99
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,879
if you're not familiar with them they're

100
00:03:57,670 --> 00:03:54,640
custom designed and custom

101
00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:57,680
fitted so they're very comfortable they

102
00:04:00,630 --> 00:03:58,640
were actually

103
00:04:01,990 --> 00:04:00,640
much easier to get in and out of in zero

104
00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:02,000
g as we figured out

105
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:05,200
over the course of the two days and uh

106
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:08,720
yeah we complemented the suit team those

107
00:04:13,509 --> 00:04:10,080
things worked uh

108
00:04:17,189 --> 00:04:13,519
very well and everything we expected

109
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:23,990
lauren gresh the verge

110
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:27,350
is there any perhaps feedback for spacex

111
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:28,800
and nasa that you have about any

112
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:30,400
potential changes that you would make

113
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:32,160
for the next cruise you fly on clear

114
00:04:40,550 --> 00:04:39,270
were there any changes that we would

115
00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:40,560
make i think

116
00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:43,680
it was your question i i don't

117
00:05:03,990 --> 00:04:59,830
we're not hearing you lauren let's move

118
00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:06,629
i for taking my question and i'm glad to

119
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:09,039
see you all are well up there

120
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:11,280
as you know houston is the home demand

121
00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:13,280
space flight and in many ways

122
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:14,800
uh the people here who know you

123
00:05:18,550 --> 00:05:16,560
personally from timber grove

124
00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:18,560
clear lake those who've watched from

125
00:05:22,629 --> 00:05:19,840
nassau bay

126
00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:22,639
webster you know seen you train and your

127
00:05:26,310 --> 00:05:23,520
journey

128
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:26,320
to to get where you're at today some of

129
00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:28,400
them may be like your sons who

130
00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:30,720
are younger and and maybe inspired by

131
00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:32,560
the things that you all are doing

132
00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:34,320
what is your message to those who are

133
00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:36,240
watching from

134
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:39,039
from houston from all of these areas in

135
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:48,230
well i think my first thing i would say

136
00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:48,880
about that

137
00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:51,919
is you know just never quit what you're

138
00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:52,720
doing this is

139
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:54,800
this was an extremely long road for bob

140
00:06:00,309 --> 00:05:55,840
and i we last

141
00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:00,319
flew in 2010 and 2011

142
00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:02,800
and then when nasa stopped flying

143
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:03,759
shuttles that was

144
00:06:07,749 --> 00:06:06,960
uh in the middle of 2011 and it's just

145
00:06:09,909 --> 00:06:07,759
taken that

146
00:06:12,309 --> 00:06:09,919
hard work and dedication over the last

147
00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:12,319
nine almost nine years to get us where

148
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:13,680
we're at now

149
00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:16,319
back in uh launching rockets from the

150
00:06:19,830 --> 00:06:17,919
united states

151
00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:19,840
back at space station docking to the

152
00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:21,280
front of space station where shuttle

153
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:22,160
used to dock

154
00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:25,520
and i would just say take a message from

155
00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:26,960
nasa in that

156
00:06:30,150 --> 00:06:29,520
anything is possible you know we've had

157
00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:30,160
a

158
00:06:38,230 --> 00:06:33,440
to

159
00:06:39,189 --> 00:06:38,240
the agency's made of what the commercial

160
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:39,199
crew program did

161
00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:42,000
and what spacex did i hope they take

162
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:42,400
some

163
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:45,600
uh pride and uh a sense of

164
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:46,400
accomplishment

165
00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:52,950
i think for both of us also the houston

166
00:06:56,309 --> 00:06:54,080
area

167
00:06:58,070 --> 00:06:56,319
is where we call home now and it

168
00:06:59,830 --> 00:06:58,080
certainly is true that

169
00:07:01,270 --> 00:06:59,840
the home of johnson space center the

170
00:07:04,309 --> 00:07:01,280
home of human space flight

171
00:07:06,309 --> 00:07:04,319
take seriously that that's our home

172
00:07:08,870 --> 00:07:06,319
that is that the home of human space

173
00:07:12,309 --> 00:07:08,880
flight we have excellent support there

174
00:07:14,790 --> 00:07:12,319
i had a parade of appropriately

175
00:07:17,430 --> 00:07:14,800
interestingly social distancing

176
00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:17,440
individuals lining my neighborhood

177
00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:20,160
in the half mile or so as i departed on

178
00:07:24,070 --> 00:07:20,800
my way

179
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:24,080
to the ellington field to head down to

180
00:07:26,790 --> 00:07:24,800
florida

181
00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:26,800
and i know that i just had wonderful

182
00:07:31,029 --> 00:07:28,000
support and i'm

183
00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:31,039
to all our friends and families at home

185
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:34,960

means so much to them godspeed

189
00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:44,639

hey guys it's chris davenport from the

191
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:51,360
washington post thanks for taking the

192
00:07:54,469 --> 00:07:53,120
time and congrats on your flight and

193
00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:54,479
i'll try not to

194
00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:56,800
leave you hanging this time to follow up

195
00:07:59,110 --> 00:07:58,479
on bill and steven's question about the

196
00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:59,120
ride

197
00:08:02,629 --> 00:08:00,960
i wonder if you can walk us through you

198
00:08:03,670 --> 00:08:02,639
know some of the technological

199
00:08:05,909 --> 00:08:03,680
differences between

200
00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:05,919
shuttle uh that led to the difference in

201
00:08:09,110 --> 00:08:07,680
the experiences and then

202
00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:09,120
maybe a little bit more of what were

203
00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:10,639
some of the key moments during the

204
00:08:17,589 --> 00:08:12,720
ascent phase that stood out to you guys

205
00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:20,150
hey chris good to talk with you um i

206
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:20,639
think

207
00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:24,080
just generically the falcon 9 is a

208
00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:25,520
liquid fueled rocket

209
00:08:29,029 --> 00:08:27,440
remember shuttle had solid rocket

210
00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:29,039
boosters to start with those

211
00:08:32,709 --> 00:08:30,879
burned very rough for the first two and

212
00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:32,719
a half minutes the first stage

213
00:08:36,149 --> 00:08:35,680
with falcon 9 were the nine merlin

214
00:08:37,990 --> 00:08:36,159
engines

215
00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:38,000
and roughly the same amount of time and

216
00:08:42,949 --> 00:08:40,479
it was a much smoother ride obviously

217
00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:42,959
because it was a liquid engine

218
00:08:46,310 --> 00:08:45,120
ascent at that point where the

219
00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:46,320
differences started

220
00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:48,240
for i think both bob and i and we

221
00:08:53,430 --> 00:08:50,800
commented on it

222
00:08:54,070 --> 00:08:53,440
at the moment was at staging and it was

223
00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:54,080
very similar

224
00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:57,680
to what you saw in the apollo 13

225
00:09:01,670 --> 00:09:00,080
movie where they staged from first to

226
00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:01,680
second stage so the

227
00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:05,519
first stage engine shut off and then

228
00:09:09,269 --> 00:09:08,560
it takes a second almost a second might

229
00:09:10,870 --> 00:09:09,279
have been

230
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:10,880
less than that but it seemed like it

231
00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:13,200
took took some time

232
00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:16,240
between the booster separating

233
00:09:21,670 --> 00:09:18,399
and then the merlin vacuum engine

234
00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:21,680
starting and so at that point we go from

235
00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:25,120
roughly three g's to zero g's

236
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:28,320
for i don't know half a second probably

237
00:09:31,829 --> 00:09:30,560
and then when that merlin vacuum engine

238
00:09:35,269 --> 00:09:31,839
fires then we

239
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:35,279
start accelerating again for the next

240
00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:37,600
five six minutes until we uh achieve

241
00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:39,040
orbit so

242
00:09:43,030 --> 00:09:41,440
totally different than shuttle and you

243
00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:43,040
know it was smooth it got a little

244
00:09:46,389 --> 00:09:44,880
rougher as bob had mentioned before with

245
00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:46,399
the merlin vacuum engine and

246
00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:48,000
and it'll be interesting to talk to the

247
00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:49,440
spacex folks to

248
00:09:53,430 --> 00:09:51,360
find out why it was a little bit rougher

249
00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:53,440
ride on second stage than it

250
00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:56,080
was for shuttle on those three main

251
00:10:02,949 --> 00:10:00,230
all right let's try marcia dunn from the

252
00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:02,959
associated press

253
00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:05,040
hey doug uh good to see everybody up

254
00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:06,720
there um i'm wondering

255
00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:09,519
have you captured the flag yet have you

256
00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:10,000
actually

257
00:10:13,509 --> 00:10:11,680
put your hands on it is it a board

258
00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:13,519
dragon uh

259
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:16,399
and what are your thoughts about laying

260
00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:16,800
claim

261
00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:18,959
to that flag since you are one of the

262
00:10:21,269 --> 00:10:20,720
ones who put it there nine long years

263
00:10:26,550 --> 00:10:21,279
ago

264
00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:30,389
hey marcia the short answer is

265
00:10:34,150 --> 00:10:33,519
chris had it right on the hatch where we

266
00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:34,160
left it

267
00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:41,590
and i think he's got a note do not

268
00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:42,880
forget to take

269
00:10:48,389 --> 00:10:46,640
uh with crew dragon so

270
00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:48,399
depending on how long we stay up here

271
00:10:51,910 --> 00:10:51,040
can uh you can bet we will take it with

272
00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:51,920
us

273
00:11:00,310 --> 00:10:59,110
from that standpoint i think you know

274
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:00,320
we've talked about this

275
00:11:03,509 --> 00:11:03,040
uh flag before many times over the last

276
00:11:05,150 --> 00:11:03,519
uh

277
00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:05,160
nine years since we left it here on

278
00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:06,959
sts-135 and i think the

279
00:11:11,509 --> 00:11:10,160
important point is is as i said before

280
00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:11,519
just returning launch

281
00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:14,160
capability to the united states to and

282
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:15,920
from the international space station

283
00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:18,000
and uh that's what this flag really

284
00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:19,440
means and

285
00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:23,040
and i think a little bit more it's

286
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:25,200
it's to the thousands of people that

287
00:11:28,630 --> 00:11:26,320
made it possible

288
00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:28,640
from the folks at spacex to the folks at

289
00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:29,920
nasa to the folks

290
00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:33,600
within the commercial crew program and

291
00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:35,360
we just are lucky enough to be able to

292
00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:36,800
take it home with us and

293
00:11:40,389 --> 00:11:38,880
that will be our plan here in a month or

294
00:11:43,670 --> 00:11:40,399
two or three or four

295
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:43,680
depending on what as bob says what uncle

296
00:11:48,470 --> 00:11:44,320
kirk

297
00:11:53,509 --> 00:11:50,629
let's go to a question from mark caro

298
00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:56,230
mark caro aviation week my question is

299
00:12:00,470 --> 00:11:57,440
for chris

300
00:12:01,910 --> 00:12:00,480
cassidy from your perspective what

301
00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:01,920
skills and iss

302
00:12:08,629 --> 00:12:05,440
training do doug and bob bring to the

303
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:08,639
iss mix especially now and how will

304
00:12:11,829 --> 00:12:09,360
those help

305
00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:11,839
to ramp up operations internally and

306
00:12:20,389 --> 00:12:19,590
well you know experience goes a long way

307
00:12:22,629 --> 00:12:20,399
and

308
00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:22,639
both these guys is their third flight

309
00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:24,480
and so it really doesn't matter

310
00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:27,360
in in my opinion shuttle flight

311
00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:29,279
experience or station flight experience

312
00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:30,079
it's all

313
00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:32,240
has to do with working in space working

314
00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:34,160
efficiently understanding the

315
00:12:38,310 --> 00:12:36,160
the system and the methodology with

316
00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:38,320
which we work back and forth and hand in

317
00:12:41,670 --> 00:12:39,839
hand with mission control

318
00:12:42,949 --> 00:12:41,680
and once you understand that and grasp

319
00:12:44,550 --> 00:12:42,959
all those concepts

320
00:12:46,310 --> 00:12:44,560
the work part is i don't want to say

321
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:46,320
easy but uh

322
00:12:49,990 --> 00:12:49,279
it just kind of happens together and and

323
00:12:52,629 --> 00:12:50,000
we've already

324
00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:52,639
seen that today is day one and and uh

325
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:54,160
and they're hitting the ground running

326
00:12:57,670 --> 00:12:56,320
unloading the vehicle and and we've got

327
00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:57,680
uh htv

328
00:13:01,509 --> 00:12:59,519
right at our feet and we'll be working

329
00:13:02,790 --> 00:13:01,519
in in there in very short order probably

330
00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:02,800
after we hang up from this

331
00:13:06,230 --> 00:13:05,120
this conversation together the three of

332
00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:06,240
us will

333
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:09,040
be um tackling the overall mission of

334
00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:10,800
the space station which is conducting

335
00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:11,600
science

336
00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:15,279
maintaining the space station

337
00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:16,560
and then there's some operational

338
00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:18,560
objectives sprinkled in the mix at some

339
00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:20,240
point we'll get a plan for

340
00:13:25,110 --> 00:13:22,959
uh potential spacewalks and uh and we'll

341
00:13:26,949 --> 00:13:25,120
execute all that

342
00:13:29,269 --> 00:13:26,959
we don't just sit up here at dinner and

343
00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:29,279
decide when all those activities are

344
00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:30,800
going to be done the prioritization is

345
00:13:33,910 --> 00:13:32,000
done in houston

346
00:13:35,430 --> 00:13:33,920
and uh and then we execute the plan so

347
00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:35,440
the three of us are pretty excited to

348
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,189
joy roulette with reuters

349
00:13:46,870 --> 00:13:45,430
hey uh thanks for doing this um i was

350
00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:46,880
wondering so since you guys made it to

351
00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:48,240
the space station um

352
00:13:51,269 --> 00:13:50,880
how does it feel i guess not knowing how

353
00:13:52,470 --> 00:13:51,279
long

354
00:13:54,629 --> 00:13:52,480
you guys are going to stay there for

355
00:13:55,509 --> 00:13:54,639
does it feel weird and um i was also

356
00:13:57,990 --> 00:13:55,519
wondering if

357
00:13:59,509 --> 00:13:58,000
any time during the trip to the space

358
00:14:00,870 --> 00:13:59,519
station that if you guys noticed

359
00:14:02,629 --> 00:14:00,880
anything

360
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:02,639
unexpected that you didn't experience

361
00:14:09,829 --> 00:14:04,320
during training or sims

362
00:14:13,110 --> 00:14:11,990
well thank you it's a good question i

363
00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:13,120
think

364
00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:14,880
several recent crews have had a little

365
00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:17,040
bit more uncertainty than we've had

366
00:14:20,230 --> 00:14:18,240
historically

367
00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:20,240
for how long their mission duration was

368
00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:21,440
going to be

369
00:14:24,629 --> 00:14:23,760
but i guess maybe on the percentage

370
00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:24,639
scale

371
00:14:27,430 --> 00:14:26,320
doug and i have a maybe the most

372
00:14:29,990 --> 00:14:27,440
uncertainty because it could be

373
00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:30,000
relatively short or we could potentially

374
00:14:35,110 --> 00:14:32,160
double or triple maybe what was

375
00:14:36,790 --> 00:14:35,120
originally expected for us uh just a few

376
00:14:39,189 --> 00:14:36,800
short months ago and so

377
00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:39,199
it's a little bit strange i'm trying to

378
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:40,399
explain it to my son

379
00:14:44,069 --> 00:14:42,959
just six years old and from his

380
00:14:45,509 --> 00:14:44,079
perspective

381
00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:45,519
he's just excited that we're going to

382
00:14:50,629 --> 00:14:48,240
get a dog when i get home and so

383
00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:50,639
he's accepting that uncertainty and

384
00:14:53,829 --> 00:14:52,560
continuing to send messages to me while

385
00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:53,839
i'm on orbit

386
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:55,680
as far as unexpected things while we

387
00:14:59,509 --> 00:14:57,440
were headed uphill i think i said a

388
00:15:00,069 --> 00:14:59,519
little bit about this uh yesterday but

389
00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:00,079
the

390
00:15:08,470 --> 00:15:05,440
vibration

391
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:08,480
the experiences that we felt actually

392
00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:10,480
riding a real rocket going through the

393
00:15:14,870 --> 00:15:12,000
fueling operation

394
00:15:16,550 --> 00:15:14,880
that was a new experience for us as you

395
00:15:18,629 --> 00:15:16,560
probably know the space shuttle was

396
00:15:20,389 --> 00:15:18,639
fueled when the astronauts arrived

397
00:15:22,629 --> 00:15:20,399
doug and i went through the fueling

398
00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:22,639
operation on board dragon which was

399
00:15:26,389 --> 00:15:24,720
different from us and so

400
00:15:28,230 --> 00:15:26,399
going through the the hearing the

401
00:15:30,790 --> 00:15:28,240
venting and the valve sounds

402
00:15:32,069 --> 00:15:30,800
and the little vibrations associated

403
00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:32,079
with that operation

404
00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:34,639
was a new experience for us and so that

405
00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:35,120
was

406
00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:38,320
training but nothing out of family the

407
00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:40,240
team did a really great job of

408
00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:42,560
recording that audio during the demo one

409
00:15:45,749 --> 00:15:44,000
mission during the mission that was a

410
00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:45,759
little bit over a year ago that came to

411
00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:46,880
space station

412
00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:50,000
with uh no people on board and played

413
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:50,959
that back for us

414
00:15:54,629 --> 00:15:52,560
tied to the audio so we've heard all

415
00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:54,639
those sounds pretty much before and so

416
00:15:58,629 --> 00:15:56,399
that was extremely helpful

417
00:16:00,629 --> 00:15:58,639
we have the same tool for coming home

418
00:16:01,910 --> 00:16:00,639
and look forward to seeing how well that

419
00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:01,920
matches up with

420
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:11,030
robert perlman

421
00:16:18,069 --> 00:16:14,069
thank you um hi chris doug and bob

422
00:16:20,710 --> 00:16:18,079
um for doug and bob i wonder uh

423
00:16:22,710 --> 00:16:20,720
during the ascent or during your

424
00:16:25,189 --> 00:16:22,720
overnight period was there a point where

425
00:16:27,269 --> 00:16:25,199
the sense of history sort of seeped in

426
00:16:29,030 --> 00:16:27,279
where you sort of where you allowed

427
00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:29,040
yourself to just consider

428
00:16:34,550 --> 00:16:32,720
the history that you were making um uh

429
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:34,560
what when were that what were those

430
00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:46,629
honestly robert good to talk to you i

431
00:16:50,550 --> 00:16:48,160
don't know if we

432
00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:50,560
ever reflected on it uh over the 19-hour

433
00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:51,360
rendezvous

434
00:16:56,069 --> 00:16:54,560
i i mean i think uh you know you may

435
00:16:57,910 --> 00:16:56,079
have random thoughts going through your

436
00:17:01,590 --> 00:16:57,920
head every now and again but you know

437
00:17:03,430 --> 00:17:01,600
both bob and i are uh over the last five

438
00:17:05,669 --> 00:17:03,440
years been pretty focused on

439
00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:05,679
this this mission and actually flying

440
00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:07,120
this mission and i think

441
00:17:10,630 --> 00:17:10,000
that's really what we uh put our entire

442
00:17:13,909 --> 00:17:10,640
effort

443
00:17:15,750 --> 00:17:13,919
mentally and physically into uh from the

444
00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:15,760
time we walked out uh

445
00:17:20,710 --> 00:17:19,120
of the onc building until we docked with

446
00:17:21,510 --> 00:17:20,720
space station and of course we're still

447
00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:21,520
doing it but

448
00:17:24,789 --> 00:17:23,600
uh you know was just focusing on

449
00:17:27,270 --> 00:17:24,799
everything we could do

450
00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:27,280
to make sure we did what we needed to do

451
00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:29,039
to make it a successful ascent

452
00:17:34,070 --> 00:17:30,640
rendezvous and docking

453
00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:34,080
and then also try to take in

454
00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:36,720
all the things that uh the falcon 9 and

455
00:17:39,590 --> 00:17:37,760
the dragon

456
00:17:40,870 --> 00:17:39,600
showed us you know the noises the

457
00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:40,880
maneuvers any

458
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:44,000
any nuances any anything that we can let

459
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:45,200
other folks know

460
00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:47,200
to be aware of as they fly that vehicle

461
00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:48,400
and i think

462
00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:51,200
you know for for me anyway you know the

463
00:17:55,270 --> 00:17:52,799
historical aspect of it

464
00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:55,280
uh is certain certainly notable but i

465
00:17:58,870 --> 00:17:57,120
think it's something to

466
00:18:00,710 --> 00:17:58,880
maybe consider after this mission

467
00:18:02,390 --> 00:18:00,720
mission's complete you know we're we're

468
00:18:04,310 --> 00:18:02,400
not even

469
00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:04,320
in any way shape or form halfway through

470
00:18:06,549 --> 00:18:06,160
the mission yet we've just docked we

471
00:18:09,110 --> 00:18:06,559
still

472
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:09,120
got to do our mission here with chris

473
00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:09,760
and then

474
00:18:15,909 --> 00:18:12,960
undock depart and

475
00:18:17,669 --> 00:18:15,919
do a reentry and then a landing and then

476
00:18:21,430 --> 00:18:17,679
a recovery so

477
00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:21,440
plenty of work to do and you know we'll

478
00:18:28,230 --> 00:18:24,400
probably uh think a lot more about that

479
00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:28,240
when the time comes

480
00:18:36,310 --> 00:18:34,070
hey guys monica whitering here thanks

481
00:18:38,470 --> 00:18:36,320
for taking my question this is for

482
00:18:40,230 --> 00:18:38,480
bob and doug i'm wondering what were

483
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:40,240
some of the first things that you wanted

484
00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:40,880
to see

485
00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:43,200
or do after you arrived at the space

486
00:18:46,870 --> 00:18:45,440
station and has it changed much since

487
00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:46,880
you were last there or does it still

488
00:18:54,789 --> 00:18:49,200
kind of feel like a second home to you

489
00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:56,470
well i don't want to speak for doug on

490
00:19:00,150 --> 00:18:58,240
this one but one of the things i was

491
00:19:01,590 --> 00:19:00,160
most excited about was being able to

492
00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:01,600
make a phone call home

493
00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:04,000
you know with it's been a long time

494
00:19:07,190 --> 00:19:04,640
since i

495
00:19:08,710 --> 00:19:07,200
launched into orbit and i've got a

496
00:19:10,470 --> 00:19:08,720
little boy who

497
00:19:12,549 --> 00:19:10,480
got a chance to watch me do that for the

498
00:19:13,990 --> 00:19:12,559
first time in his life and i just wanted

499
00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:14,000
to understand

500
00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:15,840
what his experience was and share that a

501
00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:17,360
little bit with him while it was still

502
00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:19,120
fresh in his mind

503
00:19:23,270 --> 00:19:21,840
he was able to make the trip back to

504
00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:23,280
houston after watching the

505
00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:25,520
docking from down in florida and was

506
00:19:29,350 --> 00:19:27,360
pretty excited about the the whole thing

507
00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:29,360
so that was a wonderful for me

508
00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:31,840
as far as the space station goes i'll

509
00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:32,640
tell you it

510
00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:34,480
it seems a lot like it did when i was

511
00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:36,480
here last there is a

512
00:19:40,789 --> 00:19:38,320
quite a bit more science going on quite

513
00:19:41,990 --> 00:19:40,799
a bit more equipment on some of the rack

514
00:19:44,630 --> 00:19:42,000
faces especially

515
00:19:45,430 --> 00:19:44,640
over on the the gym side or down in node

516
00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:45,440
three

517
00:19:49,590 --> 00:19:47,760
but the overall structure and layout is

518
00:19:52,390 --> 00:19:49,600
uh is very similar

519
00:19:54,470 --> 00:19:52,400
uh we did comments yesterday about the

520
00:19:56,710 --> 00:19:54,480
airlock configuration it's not as

521
00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:56,720
clean as how chris and i remember it

522
00:19:59,750 --> 00:19:57,840
from our shuttle

523
00:20:01,350 --> 00:19:59,760
experiences because that was those

524
00:20:02,789 --> 00:20:01,360
flights were really about the assembly

525
00:20:03,909 --> 00:20:02,799
of space station and the airlock was

526
00:20:05,669 --> 00:20:03,919
ready to go

527
00:20:07,430 --> 00:20:05,679
and we're in a different mode of

528
00:20:08,470 --> 00:20:07,440
operation onboard space station right

529
00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:08,480
now so

530
00:20:12,870 --> 00:20:11,200
i know the way space station works is

531
00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:12,880
you pretty much have to configure

532
00:20:16,710 --> 00:20:15,840
each specific area for the task at hand

533
00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:16,720
and so the

534
00:20:19,990 --> 00:20:18,720
mating adapter that we docked to on the

535
00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:20,000
forward part of the space station

536
00:20:24,870 --> 00:20:22,480
was all cleared out for our arrival all

537
00:20:26,549 --> 00:20:24,880
that stowage was moved around

538
00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:26,559
quite a bit of stowage was probably

539
00:20:31,270 --> 00:20:28,240
repositioned for htv's

540
00:20:33,270 --> 00:20:31,280
arrival from from japan and

541
00:20:36,390 --> 00:20:33,280
we'll have to do some reconfiguration in

542
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:36,400
other areas as we continue to

543
00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:38,080
conduct operations on board the space

544
00:20:40,630 --> 00:20:39,600
station there's just so much going on

545
00:20:42,789 --> 00:20:40,640
that you

546
00:20:45,350 --> 00:20:42,799
you've got more stuff than you have

547
00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:45,360
places to just stow it without

548
00:20:48,789 --> 00:20:46,880
you know fully being able to conduct the

549
00:20:53,029 --> 00:20:48,799
operation

550
00:20:53,350 --> 00:20:53,039
anything to end let's go across the pond

551
00:20:56,549 --> 00:20:53,360
to

552
00:20:58,070 --> 00:20:56,559
jackie goddard with the times

553
00:21:00,710 --> 00:20:58,080
thank you i'm jackie got off of the

554
00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:00,720
times of london and congratulations

555
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:03,360
this message this mission feels so much

556
00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:05,440
more funky and futuristic with

557
00:21:09,190 --> 00:21:07,120
everything from the capsules

558
00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:09,200
look to the touch screens the technology

559
00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:10,320
the suits

560
00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:13,120
um does this feel like the jetsons um

561
00:21:15,750 --> 00:21:14,000
can you describe

562
00:21:17,190 --> 00:21:15,760
some of the emotion around it over the

563
00:21:18,630 --> 00:21:17,200
ride up hill

564
00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:18,640
and somebody has to ask it that

565
00:21:21,830 --> 00:21:20,559
all-important question that the child in

566
00:21:30,230 --> 00:21:21,840
all of us needs to know

567
00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:30,240
how was the crew dragon toilet thank you

568
00:21:33,430 --> 00:21:32,960
well it's good to talk to you um let me

569
00:21:38,070 --> 00:21:33,440
think

570
00:21:43,750 --> 00:21:38,080
uh

571
00:21:45,669 --> 00:21:43,760
tried to be very forward thinking and

572
00:21:47,909 --> 00:21:45,679
cutting edge and

573
00:21:49,590 --> 00:21:47,919
it is one of the factors that went into

574
00:21:51,510 --> 00:21:49,600
the design of the crew dragon

575
00:21:52,710 --> 00:21:51,520
and our spacesuits and everything about

576
00:21:56,789 --> 00:21:52,720
the vehicle

577
00:21:59,909 --> 00:21:56,799
and you know for us as

578
00:22:01,990 --> 00:21:59,919
the the test pilots so to speak um

579
00:22:03,029 --> 00:22:02,000
you know we're there to evaluate how it

580
00:22:05,669 --> 00:22:03,039
does the mission

581
00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:05,679
and uh so far it's done uh just

582
00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:07,440
absolutely spectacularly

583
00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:09,120
you know it's uh it's a very clean

584
00:22:14,390 --> 00:22:11,280
vehicle i think most

585
00:22:16,789 --> 00:22:14,400
people think it's a really

586
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:16,799
cool looking vehicle i know my son

587
00:22:21,669 --> 00:22:18,080
thinks so

588
00:22:22,230 --> 00:22:21,679
and it it does everything we need it to

589
00:22:24,789 --> 00:22:22,240
do

590
00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:24,799
uh for this mission so we're very happy

591
00:22:29,350 --> 00:22:26,000
with that part of it

592
00:22:31,270 --> 00:22:29,360
um let's see the toilet

593
00:22:32,870 --> 00:22:31,280
i think we had a bet to see when that

594
00:22:33,669 --> 00:22:32,880
question was going to be asked about

595
00:22:36,710 --> 00:22:33,679
dragon

596
00:22:38,549 --> 00:22:36,720
and it works very similar to the uh

597
00:22:40,149 --> 00:22:38,559
the one we were used to in the space

598
00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:40,159
shuttle and it worked very well we had

599
00:22:48,789 --> 00:22:46,549
all right next is peter king good

600
00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:48,799
morning uh peter king with cbs news

601
00:22:52,310 --> 00:22:50,080
radio and i know

602
00:22:53,190 --> 00:22:52,320
bob and doug that you're up there uh to

603
00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:53,200
help chris

604
00:22:57,990 --> 00:22:55,679
uh overcome that shorthanded situation

605
00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:58,000
but it also gives the spacex people a

606
00:23:01,510 --> 00:22:59,520
chance to evaluate

607
00:23:03,190 --> 00:23:01,520
the dragon's long-term performance

608
00:23:04,070 --> 00:23:03,200
during its exposure to the elements

609
00:23:05,270 --> 00:23:04,080
while you're up there

610
00:23:14,710 --> 00:23:05,280
what are some of the things they're

611
00:23:19,270 --> 00:23:16,950
well you're absolutely right that will

612
00:23:22,310 --> 00:23:19,280
put the dragon through its paces

613
00:23:25,029 --> 00:23:22,320
in preparation for the crew one flight

614
00:23:26,230 --> 00:23:25,039
we already spent quite a bit of the day

615
00:23:28,950 --> 00:23:26,240
preparing

616
00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:28,960
basically dragon to serve its purpose as

617
00:23:32,390 --> 00:23:29,280
a

618
00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:32,400
vehicle so

619
00:23:36,789 --> 00:23:34,880
doug and i spent quite a bit of time

620
00:23:38,149 --> 00:23:36,799
getting the equipment prepared so that

621
00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:38,159
that vehicle is

622
00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:40,640
is ready to go and execute that mission

623
00:23:45,590 --> 00:23:43,440
and we probably did a little more

624
00:23:46,789 --> 00:23:45,600
as a part of that than other crews will

625
00:23:49,269 --> 00:23:46,799
do in the future

626
00:23:51,830 --> 00:23:49,279
we've performed some connections with

627
00:23:54,070 --> 00:23:51,840
the computer systems to make sure that

628
00:23:56,310 --> 00:23:54,080
we can configure the communication

629
00:23:58,310 --> 00:23:56,320
between everything from the soyuz to the

630
00:23:59,909 --> 00:23:58,320
rest of the space station back to dragon

631
00:24:02,710 --> 00:23:59,919
if we needed to do that from

632
00:24:03,430 --> 00:24:02,720
inside of our small little vehicle and

633
00:24:06,230 --> 00:24:03,440
we

634
00:24:08,310 --> 00:24:06,240
established that that stuff all works

635
00:24:10,310 --> 00:24:08,320
and we'll continue to do small checkouts

636
00:24:13,029 --> 00:24:10,320
like that we'll go through the process

637
00:24:13,669 --> 00:24:13,039
of powering down dragon taking it to its

638
00:24:16,390 --> 00:24:13,679
uh

639
00:24:18,310 --> 00:24:16,400
kind of hibernate hibernated states and

640
00:24:19,110 --> 00:24:18,320
then bring it back up here in just a few

641
00:24:20,950 --> 00:24:19,120
short days

642
00:24:22,390 --> 00:24:20,960
just to make sure that that process goes

643
00:24:24,549 --> 00:24:22,400
smoothly again

644
00:24:26,549 --> 00:24:24,559
every crew won't need to do that sort of

645
00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:26,559
an evaluation but since it's the first

646
00:24:29,190 --> 00:24:27,600
flight

647
00:24:30,710 --> 00:24:29,200
we really are putting her through her

648
00:24:33,830 --> 00:24:30,720
paces to make sure

649
00:24:34,870 --> 00:24:33,840
that any of the little aspects of the

650
00:24:36,870 --> 00:24:34,880
mission that

651
00:24:38,710 --> 00:24:36,880
it might be called upon to support is

652
00:24:40,390 --> 00:24:38,720
ready to do that and so

653
00:24:41,830 --> 00:24:40,400
that's from the hibernated state that's

654
00:24:43,909 --> 00:24:41,840
from a regular departure

655
00:24:45,830 --> 00:24:43,919
or to you know serve as another

656
00:24:47,269 --> 00:24:45,840
environment for us to go and safe haven

657
00:24:48,870 --> 00:24:47,279
in should we need to if there was a

658
00:24:50,230 --> 00:24:48,880
problem on board space station and we'll

659
00:24:53,029 --> 00:24:50,240
do all those things

660
00:24:54,950 --> 00:24:53,039
before we call her operational and then

661
00:24:55,669 --> 00:24:54,960
really pick up with a primary task

662
00:24:58,830 --> 00:24:55,679
focused on

663
00:24:59,990 --> 00:24:58,840
helping chris out on the space station

664
00:25:03,789 --> 00:25:00,000
side

665
00:25:06,310 --> 00:25:03,799
leo enright with irish television

666
00:25:07,190 --> 00:25:06,320
congratulations bob and doug and as we

667
00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:07,200
say in ireland

668
00:25:12,070 --> 00:25:11,120
slaw nawalia safe home um i have another

669
00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:12,080
question about

670
00:25:15,510 --> 00:25:13,679
launch and about something that was

671
00:25:18,390 --> 00:25:15,520
different this time

672
00:25:19,350 --> 00:25:18,400
your final call out before seco was

673
00:25:28,549 --> 00:25:19,360
shannon

674
00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:28,559
and i'd rather expect that we're going

675
00:25:33,110 --> 00:25:30,559
to be hearing this call out a lot

676
00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:33,120
uh in the years to come so a lot of

677
00:25:40,870 --> 00:25:34,320
people in ireland

678
00:25:44,470 --> 00:25:42,549
well hello ireland that's a that's a

679
00:25:47,669 --> 00:25:44,480
great question

680
00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:47,679
so the uh ascent trajectory

681
00:25:51,990 --> 00:25:50,400
offers us some opportunities if needed

682
00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:52,000
if we have got a failure with a launch

683
00:25:56,470 --> 00:25:53,840
vehicle to abort

684
00:25:58,390 --> 00:25:56,480
and some of those scenarios involve a

685
00:25:58,950 --> 00:25:58,400
boarding fairly close to kennedy space

686
00:26:00,950 --> 00:25:58,960
center

687
00:26:02,149 --> 00:26:00,960
along the east coast of the united

688
00:26:05,110 --> 00:26:02,159
states all the way up

689
00:26:05,909 --> 00:26:05,120
towards newfoundland even into canada

690
00:26:07,909 --> 00:26:05,919
and then

691
00:26:09,669 --> 00:26:07,919
once our trajectory hits a certain point

692
00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:09,679
and we get high enough

693
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:12,960
we are going to abort forward to uh

694
00:26:19,269 --> 00:26:16,960
the uk and the ireland area specifically

695
00:26:21,269 --> 00:26:19,279
and we can do that and the later stages

696
00:26:21,909 --> 00:26:21,279
of our powered flight before the engine

697
00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:21,919
shut down

698
00:26:27,750 --> 00:26:25,360
so that's our call to

699
00:26:28,950 --> 00:26:27,760
mission control and hawthorne to let him

700
00:26:31,669 --> 00:26:28,960
know that we see

701
00:26:32,470 --> 00:26:31,679
that change in the abort destination if

702
00:26:36,789 --> 00:26:32,480
if that

703
00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:40,789
sophie sanchez chicago now

704
00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:43,590
hola from chicago um doug as a test

705
00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:44,400
pilot

706
00:26:47,830 --> 00:26:46,320
what was it like for you taking control

707
00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:47,840
of endeavor for the first time

708
00:26:53,029 --> 00:26:49,520
and then if you think both share a

709
00:26:54,710 --> 00:26:53,039
little bit about the docking procedure

710
00:27:00,710 --> 00:26:54,720
how it compared to the soyuz backing

711
00:27:04,310 --> 00:27:03,269
flying the dragon was exactly how we

712
00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:04,320
expected it to be

713
00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:05,600
and that was one of the reasons we

714
00:27:10,710 --> 00:27:07,840
wanted to do the manual flight test

715
00:27:11,590 --> 00:27:10,720
uh twice so we did it shortly after we

716
00:27:14,710 --> 00:27:11,600
got to orbit

717
00:27:17,909 --> 00:27:14,720
uh on our first day and then

718
00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:17,919
when we were on the final portion of the

719
00:27:22,389 --> 00:27:18,880
docking axis

720
00:27:24,630 --> 00:27:22,399
we did it again yesterday and

721
00:27:26,310 --> 00:27:24,640
it's all to prove that that capability

722
00:27:29,269 --> 00:27:26,320
works for future crews if

723
00:27:29,990 --> 00:27:29,279
if need be most folks are familiar with

724
00:27:32,149 --> 00:27:30,000
the fact that

725
00:27:33,830 --> 00:27:32,159
dragon is designed to be totally

726
00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:33,840
automated from the time it launches

727
00:27:38,549 --> 00:27:36,480
until the time it returns to earth but

728
00:27:39,510 --> 00:27:38,559
if there's any systems failures or other

729
00:27:41,350 --> 00:27:39,520
issues we

730
00:27:42,950 --> 00:27:41,360
would like to know with confidence that

731
00:27:45,029 --> 00:27:42,960
if we take over manually

732
00:27:48,789 --> 00:27:45,039
the the vehicle will do what we what we

733
00:27:52,230 --> 00:27:48,799
need it to do

734
00:27:55,750 --> 00:27:53,830
thank you so much for taking my call and

735
00:27:58,149 --> 00:27:55,760
uh congratulations on your flight it

736
00:27:58,789 --> 00:27:58,159
was amazing to watch um chris what was

737
00:28:00,789 --> 00:27:58,799
your

738
00:28:01,990 --> 00:28:00,799
the biggest thing you you felt or

739
00:28:04,710 --> 00:28:02,000
thought as endeavour

740
00:28:05,029 --> 00:28:04,720
approached the iss and bomb and doug

741
00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:05,039
same

742
00:28:09,029 --> 00:28:07,200
question for you what were your your

743
00:28:10,070 --> 00:28:09,039
biggest thoughts or emotions as you as

744
00:28:11,909 --> 00:28:10,080
you pulled up to this

745
00:28:13,909 --> 00:28:11,919
this place you haven't been in you know

746
00:28:14,549 --> 00:28:13,919
many many years and i'm also curious i

747
00:28:16,389 --> 00:28:14,559
want to ask

748
00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:16,399
the spaceview question a different way

749
00:28:19,269 --> 00:28:17,760
what's your five-star review

750
00:28:21,190 --> 00:28:19,279
well what would you rate it what would

751
00:28:22,710 --> 00:28:21,200
you say about the spacesuits and your

752
00:28:27,430 --> 00:28:22,720
if you had to review them online thank

753
00:28:30,710 --> 00:28:28,950
i'll take the first part of that

754
00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:30,720
question from the space station side of

755
00:28:33,430 --> 00:28:32,320
things what was going through my mind

756
00:28:35,430 --> 00:28:33,440
while they were

757
00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:35,440
uh well there's sort of several phases

758
00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:36,880
one was during

759
00:28:40,230 --> 00:28:39,520
launch and that was quite exciting for

760
00:28:42,710 --> 00:28:40,240
the three of us

761
00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:42,720
on board we flew directly over the

762
00:28:46,310 --> 00:28:44,720
kennedy space center two minutes before

763
00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:46,320
launch got some nice pictures of the

764
00:28:49,669 --> 00:28:47,840
launch pad we were

765
00:28:51,909 --> 00:28:49,679
out over the ocean at the time of engine

766
00:28:53,590 --> 00:28:51,919
ignition so we couldn't quite see plus

767
00:28:54,310 --> 00:28:53,600
we were in the day and ksc was in the

768
00:28:56,389 --> 00:28:54,320
day so

769
00:28:58,230 --> 00:28:56,399
we didn't see the actual launch but that

770
00:28:59,909 --> 00:28:58,240
was very very exciting and the three of

771
00:29:01,669 --> 00:28:59,919
us were

772
00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:01,679
we're just cheering just much like you

773
00:29:06,950 --> 00:29:03,840
were i'm sure fast forward to

774
00:29:07,909 --> 00:29:06,960
to yesterday when uh we're watching the

775
00:29:10,830 --> 00:29:07,919
vehicle do

776
00:29:12,389 --> 00:29:10,840
its uh stair-step maneuver up to our

777
00:29:15,110 --> 00:29:12,399
altitude and

778
00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:15,120
yvonne and i uh could see we were

779
00:29:20,070 --> 00:29:17,120
looking out the cupola window we saw it

780
00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:20,080
very far away about 19 20 kilometers and

781
00:29:23,190 --> 00:29:21,840
then it got brighter and brighter and

782
00:29:26,549 --> 00:29:23,200
bigger and bigger

783
00:29:27,990 --> 00:29:26,559
and uh and it struck me that that little

784
00:29:29,990 --> 00:29:28,000
tiny dot

785
00:29:32,149 --> 00:29:30,000
was going to be fixed to a piece of

786
00:29:34,549 --> 00:29:32,159
metal that was about 15 meters from

787
00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:34,559
where i was looking where i was standing

788
00:29:39,830 --> 00:29:37,919
so to speak and um and then they came up

789
00:29:41,510 --> 00:29:39,840
to our same altitude and started coming

790
00:29:44,470 --> 00:29:41,520
directly in on the docking access and i

791
00:29:46,149 --> 00:29:44,480
had the camera out one particular point

792
00:29:48,549 --> 00:29:46,159
and i cracked open the window to get a

793
00:29:51,190 --> 00:29:48,559
picture and i realized that

794
00:29:52,470 --> 00:29:51,200
inside that spacecraft were two of my

795
00:29:55,350 --> 00:29:52,480
colleagues and friends

796
00:29:56,870 --> 00:29:55,360
and they're going 17 500 miles an hour

797
00:29:59,190 --> 00:29:56,880
and we're going 17

798
00:30:01,269 --> 00:29:59,200
500 miles an hour and we are bringing

799
00:30:03,750 --> 00:30:01,279
these two vehicles together

800
00:30:05,990 --> 00:30:03,760
uh with a computer and then backing it

801
00:30:07,510 --> 00:30:06,000
up and and i could monitor this process

802
00:30:09,350 --> 00:30:07,520
on the telemetry

803
00:30:11,029 --> 00:30:09,360
and so from a technical nature i was

804
00:30:13,510 --> 00:30:11,039
pretty amazed at the whole thing

805
00:30:14,310 --> 00:30:13,520
just realizing what was happening but

806
00:30:17,510 --> 00:30:14,320
then uh

807
00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:17,520
you fold into that the historic

808
00:30:21,909 --> 00:30:20,080
aspect of the whole day and what it

809
00:30:23,350 --> 00:30:21,919
means to america what it means to our

810
00:30:24,470 --> 00:30:23,360
nation space program

811
00:30:27,029 --> 00:30:24,480
what it means to international

812
00:30:29,590 --> 00:30:27,039
cooperation and commercial cooperation

813
00:30:30,549 --> 00:30:29,600
it just was kind of awe-inspiring to be

814
00:30:33,269 --> 00:30:30,559
honest with you

815
00:30:34,710 --> 00:30:33,279
and then that was a fleeting moment back

816
00:30:36,789 --> 00:30:34,720
to the operations

817
00:30:43,990 --> 00:30:36,799
but it was it was pretty impressive day

818
00:30:49,830 --> 00:30:47,430
as far as the docking was concerned um

819
00:30:51,909 --> 00:30:49,840
dragon flew pretty similar to shuttle it

820
00:30:53,190 --> 00:30:51,919
had very similar characteristics the

821
00:30:55,350 --> 00:30:53,200
automation

822
00:30:57,269 --> 00:30:55,360
would have made or did make the same

823
00:30:57,830 --> 00:30:57,279
corrections that i think either bob or i

824
00:31:00,149 --> 00:30:57,840
would have

825
00:31:01,750 --> 00:31:00,159
as we were coming in and the thing that

826
00:31:03,750 --> 00:31:01,760
really stood out to both of us and we

827
00:31:05,909 --> 00:31:03,760
mentioned it as soon as we docked is we

828
00:31:08,149 --> 00:31:05,919
didn't feel the docking

829
00:31:09,430 --> 00:31:08,159
it was just so smooth and then we were

830
00:31:11,430 --> 00:31:09,440
docked which

831
00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:11,440
in shuttle you felt a little bit of a

832
00:31:16,149 --> 00:31:12,720
jolt nothing

833
00:31:17,750 --> 00:31:16,159
real heavy but you felt it and we asked

834
00:31:19,350 --> 00:31:17,760
the guys on board station the same

835
00:31:19,750 --> 00:31:19,360
question and they said we didn't feel it

836
00:31:22,549 --> 00:31:19,760
either

837
00:31:23,430 --> 00:31:22,559
which is typical more typical but anyway

838
00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:23,440
that really

839
00:31:27,110 --> 00:31:25,760
really surprised me so that either just

840
00:31:30,310 --> 00:31:27,120
the velocities or

841
00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:30,320
the uh the the strength of the docking

842
00:31:35,509 --> 00:31:32,320
mechanism really absorbed any

843
00:31:37,509 --> 00:31:35,519
any any uh inertia as we

844
00:31:39,430 --> 00:31:37,519
came into dock and it was pretty neat

845
00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:39,440
that we couldn't feel anything at all on

846
00:31:48,470 --> 00:31:47,350
i think uh for both doug and i we'd have

847
00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:48,480
to give the suits a

848
00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:51,360
five-star rating you know each suit is

849
00:31:55,509 --> 00:31:53,760
is point designed for a very specific

850
00:31:57,190 --> 00:31:55,519
mission this one is point designed for

851
00:31:59,350 --> 00:31:57,200
us to sit in our seats

852
00:32:00,950 --> 00:31:59,360
and protect protect us if there's a fire

853
00:32:01,990 --> 00:32:00,960
or any sort of a problem with the

854
00:32:04,070 --> 00:32:02,000
atmosphere

855
00:32:05,830 --> 00:32:04,080
on board dragon it's leaking out or has

856
00:32:08,789 --> 00:32:05,840
smoke in it or anything like that

857
00:32:10,149 --> 00:32:08,799
and so these suits that didn't have to

858
00:32:12,230 --> 00:32:10,159
do that job for us

859
00:32:13,350 --> 00:32:12,240
which was nice but it was clear that

860
00:32:17,029 --> 00:32:13,360
they were ready

861
00:32:19,190 --> 00:32:17,039
we had a great checks of the suits as we

862
00:32:21,029 --> 00:32:19,200
as we continued uphill and pre-launch

863
00:32:22,870 --> 00:32:21,039
and i just can't say enough about the

864
00:32:25,990 --> 00:32:22,880
the spacex team

865
00:32:28,070 --> 00:32:26,000
chris trigg eric maria

866
00:32:29,669 --> 00:32:28,080
and and all the other members of that

867
00:32:31,990 --> 00:32:29,679
team have just done an outstanding job

868
00:32:34,310 --> 00:32:32,000
supporting us getting them tailor fit

869
00:32:43,110 --> 00:32:34,320
to fit on us and we look forward to

870
00:32:45,029 --> 00:32:43,120
seeing how they perform

871
00:32:46,710 --> 00:32:45,039
station this is houston acr that

872
00:32:48,950 --> 00:32:46,720
concludes our event as we count down to

873
00:32:54,830 --> 00:32:48,960
20 continuous years of humans living and

874
00:32:54,840 --> 00:33:22,830
station

875
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:35,990
uh

876
00:33:39,909 --> 00:33:37,830
and that concludes our event as we count

877
00:33:41,350 --> 00:33:39,919
down to 20 continuous years of humans

878
00:33:42,389 --> 00:33:41,360
living and working on the international

879
00:33:44,110 --> 00:33:42,399
space station

880
00:33:46,070 --> 00:33:44,120
thank you to all participants from

881
00:33:48,310 --> 00:33:46,080
jscpao in the media

882
00:33:59,000 --> 00:33:48,320
station we are now resuming operational
