space station

9
00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:54,800
thank you great well welcome and good

10
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,160
morning from houston

11

and thank you all for joining us today

12
00:01:00,790 --> 00:01:00,160
we have many questions already in the

13
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:00,800
queue

14
00:01:05,109 --> 00:01:03,440
for our crew as a reminder for our media

15
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:05,119
on the phone bridge

16
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:07,600
please press star one if you have a

17
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:08,320
question

18
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:12,880
if it gets answered

19
00:01:16,469 --> 00:01:15,840
all right let's jump in um we will start

20
00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:16,479
with

21
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:24,230
hi guys uh thanks for taking the

22
00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:25,520
questions uh

23
00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:27,280
and i hope you can hear me pretty well

24
00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:28,880
up there um

25
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:31,920
i'm curious to hear a little bit more uh

26
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:33,520
about your experience

27
00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:36,320
testing out crew dragon in the interim

28
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:38,079
time you've been up there

29
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:41,360
as well as if you guys feel like you

30
00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:44,640
you're ready to come back now uh given

31
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:46,640
the amount of time it's been already

32
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:48,560
uh but whether or not this experience is

33
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:50,240
one that you'd uh you'd rather be

34
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:51,360
sticking up there or

35
00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:52,880
are coming back down to test out the

36
00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:01,270
well michael that's a several questions

37
00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:02,479
i'll see if i can remember

38
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:04,479
all of them but i think you know from an

39
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:06,640
on orbit testing standpoint we did

40
00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:08,000
habitability testing we

41
00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:10,560
tested interfaces we tested emergency

42
00:02:14,710 --> 00:02:11,360
com we

43
00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:14,720
we tested emergency equipment and uh

44
00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:15,120
just

45
00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:18,160
generically how we work with the dragon

46
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,520
docked on board you know

47
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:21,520
transferring equipment transferring

48
00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:23,440
supplies we're going to do a fair amount

49
00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:24,319
of that

50
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:26,640
again tomorrow when we return equipment

51
00:02:33,030 --> 00:02:29,760
or supplies back to earth

52
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:33,040
so most of that went exactly as we

53
00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:34,480
planned there was a couple little tweaks

54
00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:35,680
here and there but for the most part

55
00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:37,360
we've had pretty good uh

56
00:02:41,509 --> 00:02:39,599
pretty good luck with with endeavor as

57
00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:41,519
far as on-orbit testing is performed

58
00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:42,560
just like it did for

59
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:46,239
launch and rendezvous so we expect

60
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:49,760
nothing different for the splashdown

61
00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:52,800
experience up here has been uh

62
00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:55,599
like i think every space flight for for

63
00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:57,040
most of us is a

64
00:03:01,110 --> 00:02:58,800
once-in-a-lifetime experience and and

65
00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:01,120
this one probably is a great uh

66
00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:02,959
topper at least for me personally you

67
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:04,640
know just to be able to

68
00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:07,280
live and work aboard space station uh a

69
00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:09,280
facility that the three of us all helped

70
00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:09,920
build

71
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:14,000
uh in uh during the shuttle uh flights

72
00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:16,080
and uh just it's been great to be a crew

73
00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:18,400
member with chris and bob

74
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:20,640
on the day on a day-to-day basis uh

75
00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:22,959
supporting iss operations supporting

76
00:03:26,869 --> 00:03:24,879
science supporting maintenance

77
00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:26,879
the spacewalks the four spacewalks that

78
00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:29,680
these guys did the robotics that we did

79
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:32,159
was just just an incredible experience

80
00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:33,840
and one that i will absolutely never

81
00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:41,750
thank you so next up we have

82
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:47,200
russell pounds from pacific rim media

83
00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:49,440
good morning uh i'm not sure which one

84
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:51,360
of you may have had this experience but

85
00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:51,680
uh

86
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:53,840
there's a quote i've always appreciated

87
00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:54,720
from arthur c

88
00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:57,920
clarke it says any sufficiently advanced

89
00:04:01,589 --> 00:03:59,040
technology is

90
00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:01,599
indistinguishable from magic so the

91
00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:02,400
question is

92
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:05,760
what experience did you have that

93
00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:07,920
give you that aha feeling it embodies

94
00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:09,680
that notion of

95
00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:21,189
it's a interesting question i i think to

96
00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:22,800
you know really put something out there

97
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:25,040
as so advanced technologically that we

98
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:25,440
would

99
00:04:28,870 --> 00:04:27,280
really have to describe it as magic in

100
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:28,880
the way that it works

101
00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:31,600
i think for all three of us you know i'm

102
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:33,120
personally from the show me state in

103
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,320
missouri so if

104
00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,080
something like that was to happen to me

105
00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:38,479
and i was baffled by it

106
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:40,320
we wouldn't be scientists and engineers

107
00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:42,160
if we didn't strive to understand what

108
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:43,759
it was and so there's that initial

109
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:44,560
moment

110
00:04:48,629 --> 00:04:46,960
of wonder when you see something uh that

111
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:48,639
that you don't quite understand

112
00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:50,320
and then we strive to understand it i

113
00:04:55,030 --> 00:04:52,400
think that's really our calling as

114
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:55,040
as uh folks that you know seek out and

115
00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:57,120
contribute continue to try to find the

116
00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:57,919
answers to

117
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:00,000
you know unknown questions anything that

118
00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:01,120
we found like that

119
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:02,800
we would you know we would pound flat

120
00:05:07,189 --> 00:05:04,880
until we did understand it

121
00:05:07,909 --> 00:05:07,199
those sorts of situations probably for

122
00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:07,919
us

123
00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:10,400
happen mostly when it comes to things

124
00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:12,240
that don't go exactly right we think we

125
00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:14,080
fully understand something

126
00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:15,840
and it doesn't proceed the way that we

127
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:18,160
expected it to we have a failure in a

128
00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:20,160
piece of equipment or an operation

129
00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:22,320
and it's a failure of the imagination

130
00:05:26,390 --> 00:05:24,080
and then we strive to take it apart

131
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:26,400
bit by bit i think every space program

132
00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:27,600
has had its

133
00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:30,639
share of those sorts of events that we

134
00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:31,600
had to

135
00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:33,840
really dig down and try to understand

136
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,919
what we didn't understand

137
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:37,280
and make sure we had a handle on it

138
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:39,680
before we continued with operations

139
00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:42,639
i think probably the three of us uh at

140
00:05:48,629 --> 00:05:44,560
least from the technological perspective

141
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:52,390
thanks bob so now we have chris

142
00:06:00,710 --> 00:05:59,909
hey guys uh hope you're well um quick

143
00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:00,720
question

144
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:02,240
so obviously the first water landing

145
00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:04,000
since 1975

146
00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:06,639
i was curious if you have spoken uh to

147
00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:08,720
any of the apollo astronauts about that

148
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:10,720
and what advice they may have given you

149
00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:12,160
uh and then also i wonder if you could

150
00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:13,680
talk a little bit of your training and

151
00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:15,120
how much of it was dedicated to a

152
00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:16,160
splashdown

153
00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:17,680
just given the differences from a

154
00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:26,870
hey good morning chris we didn't

155
00:06:31,189 --> 00:06:28,960
talk specifically with apollo astronauts

156
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:31,199
but i remember specifically when i was

157
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:32,400
still

158
00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:33,840
before i was even assigned to this

159
00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:36,080
flight working at the flight operations

160
00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:38,000
reading the uh after action reports from

161
00:06:41,189 --> 00:06:39,840
the skylab astronauts which was a little

162
00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:41,199
bit more applicable

163
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:42,720
in that those flights were a little bit

164
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:44,880
longer and uh

165
00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:47,280
you know the water landing portion of it

166
00:06:51,189 --> 00:06:49,120
is pretty challenging from a

167
00:06:52,550 --> 00:06:51,199
physiological standpoint just after

168
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:52,560
coming back from

169
00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:54,880
being in microgravity for on the order

170
00:06:58,390 --> 00:06:57,199
of one to two months i think the longest

171
00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:58,400
skylab mission was

172
00:07:02,230 --> 00:07:00,960
close to three months which is very

173
00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:02,240
similar to what bob and i

174
00:07:07,189 --> 00:07:05,360
uh are are doing uh

175
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:07,199
obviously there there was some

176
00:07:10,710 --> 00:07:09,440
challenges uh post splashdown you know

177
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:10,720
folks didn't feel

178
00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:13,120
feel well and you know that is the way

179
00:07:17,589 --> 00:07:14,560
it is with the water landing

180
00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:17,599
even if you're not deconditioned like

181
00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:18,400
we're going to be

182
00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:22,080
so we we think what we need to do

183
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:25,520
is do our fluid loading properly we've

184
00:07:28,550 --> 00:07:28,080
exercised very hard while we've been up

185
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:28,560
here

186
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:30,560
and we're just trying to put ourselves

187
00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:32,560
in the best posture to be able to

188
00:07:37,350 --> 00:07:35,520
to deal with those effects and we'll

189
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:37,360
just see where it goes from there

190
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:39,680
the ground teams are fully aware of the

191
00:07:43,909 --> 00:07:41,440
challenges of the water landing and

192
00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:43,919
and what it does to the human body and

193
00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:44,720
you know we'll just

194
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:46,080
take it from there once we get on board

195
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:47,520
the ship we've got the the flight

196
00:07:49,909 --> 00:07:48,960
surgeons on board that will be able to

197
00:07:52,629 --> 00:07:49,919
help us as well

198
00:07:53,909 --> 00:07:52,639
so all those things are uh have been

199
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:53,919
thought about or in place

200
00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:56,319
and uh you know other than that it's

201
00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:57,120
just time to go

202
00:08:03,110 --> 00:07:59,759
give it a give it a try and and see how

203
00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:06,550
all right we'll go to eric berger from

204
00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:11,990
hi guys looking forward to seeing you

205
00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:13,759
come home hopefully this weekend

206
00:08:17,749 --> 00:08:15,680
um a couple questions first of all is it

207
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:17,759
true that technical documents refer to

208
00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:19,440
the toilet on board crew dragon as

209
00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:21,520
komodo dragon

210
00:08:25,749 --> 00:08:23,280
and how would you characterize the

211
00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:25,759
habitable volume inside dragon like

212
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:27,120
would you be comfortable in there for

213
00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:28,560
for more than a couple days with two or

214
00:08:39,350 --> 00:08:38,070
well erica good to talk to you i i think

215
00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:39,360
we're not familiar with that

216
00:08:43,509 --> 00:08:41,919
komodo dragon reference for our on-orbit

217
00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:43,519
procedure so that's uh

218
00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:45,200
not what we call it the only other name

219
00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:46,959
other than crew dragon we've used is

220
00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:47,760
endeavor

221
00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:50,080
and we really appreciate the spacex guys

222
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:51,680
uh allowing us for being comfortable

223
00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:53,519
with us uh putting a moniker

224
00:09:02,790 --> 00:08:55,120
on board their ship it's something that

225
00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:05,190
and as far as the capital habitable

226
00:09:09,509 --> 00:09:06,720
volume inside of the

227
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:09,519
dragon capsule it's a it's relatively

228
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:10,399
small

229
00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:12,320
so if you tried to put a full crew of

230
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:14,240
seven like we had on the space shuttle

231
00:09:17,430 --> 00:09:14,800
days

232
00:09:19,509 --> 00:09:17,440
inside that volume it would be a stay in

233
00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:19,519
your seat sort of a situation

234
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:22,160
but with three or four people uh the

235
00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:23,760
operations normally will

236
00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:25,760
you know your job will be to be in your

237
00:09:28,949 --> 00:09:27,040
seat for the

238
00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:28,959
ascent and the the docking and then of

239
00:09:32,630 --> 00:09:30,720
course the the splashdown and so there's

240
00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:32,640
plenty of room in those locations and

241
00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:35,440
and around the interior of the vehicle

242
00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:36,560
you know there is some

243
00:09:39,910 --> 00:09:38,560
some spaces that can folks can get out

244
00:09:40,389 --> 00:09:39,920
of their seats and kind of have their

245
00:09:43,269 --> 00:09:40,399
own

246
00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:43,279
small area to to be in so i wouldn't say

247
00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:44,399
it's a

248
00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:48,160
phone booth sort of a densely packed

249
00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:50,320
but it definitely is cozy if you uh were

250
00:10:01,910 --> 00:09:57,670
all right now we have james rogers from

251
00:10:07,509 --> 00:10:04,949
good morning so

252
00:10:08,710 --> 00:10:07,519
um i have a quick question with regards

253
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:08,720
to the splashdown

254
00:10:13,030 --> 00:10:10,640
two questions really obviously the

255
00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:13,040
splashdown is such an iconic moment

256
00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:15,519
in terms of the you know in terms of

257
00:10:19,829 --> 00:10:16,720
space missions we've been

258
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:19,839
seeing that yes but what's your first

259
00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:22,160
experience of watching splashdowns on tv

260
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:23,200
and also

261
00:10:26,389 --> 00:10:24,720
kind of related to that you know we have

262
00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:26,399
this new spacecraft you know it's been

263
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:28,640
designed to perform better

264
00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:31,120
in a splashdown scenario how does what

265
00:10:35,829 --> 00:10:33,920
this capsule offer kind of differs to

266
00:10:44,829 --> 00:10:35,839
differ to the you know to the capsules

267
00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:46,630
splashdowns

268
00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:48,800
okay um yeah we had a hard time

269
00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:50,560
understanding that the question but i

270
00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:53,760
think uh just in relation to splashdown

271
00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:56,640
as far as what we would experience is

272
00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:58,959
that what you were asking

273
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:00,880
yeah and also just in terms of you know

274
00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:02,320
kind of how does the how does this

275
00:11:06,470 --> 00:11:04,720
capsule differ in terms of

276
00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:06,480
you know the prior capsules that we used

277
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:09,040
in splashdown scenarios i know a lot of

278
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:12,240
design attention is being paid to that

279
00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:13,600
and so how is it different how is it

280
00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:24,710
okay we i think we got it that time um

281
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:28,720
yeah the uh the recovery of dragon

282
00:11:32,470 --> 00:11:31,600
after splashdown is that there'll be a

283
00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:32,480
couple of uh

284
00:11:35,910 --> 00:11:34,560
what we call fast boats will come up to

285
00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:35,920
the to the capsule

286
00:11:40,389 --> 00:11:38,640
at that point and make sure uh

287
00:11:41,509 --> 00:11:40,399
everything is safe on the outside of the

288
00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:41,519
capsule

289
00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:46,079
for it to be hoisted on board the

290
00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:48,880
recovery ship and then at that point the

291
00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:49,680
recovery ship

292
00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:51,760
is is moving in and in communications

293
00:11:55,430 --> 00:11:53,360
with the fast boats and once

294
00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:55,440
everybody gives the thumbs up that we're

295
00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:57,120
ready to be hoisted aboard

296
00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:00,160
it'll get lifted aboard by a crane

297
00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:03,200
and cradled on board the aft portion of

298
00:12:06,389 --> 00:12:04,160
the ship

299
00:12:07,269 --> 00:12:06,399
and then at that point once it's secured

300
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:07,279
on on the

301
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:09,440
back deck of the ship then they can open

302
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:10,480
the hatch and

303
00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:12,160
it will be time for us to get out

304
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:19,430
thank you doug so next up we have david

305
00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:24,000
curley with discovery channel

306
00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:27,040
uh crew dragon crew thank you and

307
00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:28,480
commander of the station thank you for

308
00:12:32,389 --> 00:12:30,320
taking the questions uh

309
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:32,399
everybody knows there are parts of

310
00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:33,680
flight that are extreme

311
00:12:39,110 --> 00:12:37,200
it is re-entry in this case

312
00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:39,120
the chief engineer of spacex says he's a

313
00:12:42,389 --> 00:12:40,560
little bit worried about plasma

314
00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:42,399
and potentially getting into the super

315
00:12:45,590 --> 00:12:44,000
draco pods

316
00:12:47,590 --> 00:12:45,600
bob you said you weren't nervous you're

317
00:12:49,110 --> 00:12:47,600
a lot closer now what do you think

318
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:49,120
and chunks did you just say you're going

319
00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:50,880
to have a bag ready which is completely

320
00:12:58,470 --> 00:12:52,320
understandable splashdown

321
00:13:01,750 --> 00:13:01,110
well howdy i think you know as we get

322
00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:01,760
closer

323
00:13:06,230 --> 00:13:03,920
i think we really focus more and more on

324
00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:06,240
our preparations of to be ready for the

325
00:13:10,310 --> 00:13:07,760
splashdown activities

326
00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:10,320
we spent the day today working through

327
00:13:13,750 --> 00:13:11,760
the onboard training that will

328
00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:13,760
re-familiarize us with the splashdown

329
00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:14,720
activities

330
00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:16,880
uh what our responsibilities will be the

331
00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:18,720
the things that we'll monitor

332
00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:20,959
and i know that the the spacex team the

333
00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:22,560
chief engineer there and of course the

334
00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:24,000
nasa team

335
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:26,320
are all looking closely at all the the

336
00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:28,320
things that could possibly

337
00:13:31,670 --> 00:13:30,000
that they wish they had more information

338
00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:31,680
on or that that they

339
00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:33,440
feel the most uncertain about and and

340
00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:35,200
they share those with us on a routine

341
00:13:39,269 --> 00:13:36,880
basis we got an update on the flight

342
00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:39,279
readiness review activities and uh

343
00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:42,000
i know that the the chief engineer's job

344
00:13:46,150 --> 00:13:44,079
is to make that list of things that that

345
00:13:48,629 --> 00:13:46,160
are areas of concern and then

346
00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:48,639
kind of balance that that risk with what

347
00:13:52,389 --> 00:13:50,560
they currently know and with going

348
00:13:53,509 --> 00:13:52,399
forward and that information's all been

349
00:13:55,350 --> 00:13:53,519
shared with us and

350
00:13:56,710 --> 00:13:55,360
you know splashdown is closer than it

351
00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:56,720
was the last time we were asked

352
00:14:00,069 --> 00:13:57,920
questions about it

353
00:14:01,110 --> 00:14:00,079
but i still don't feel nervous about it

354
00:14:02,710 --> 00:14:01,120
and and really

355
00:14:05,189 --> 00:14:02,720
we're focused on the things that we'll

356
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:05,199
need to do to be as safe as possible as

357
00:14:09,269 --> 00:14:07,920
as we come back and uh it does take a

358
00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:09,279
little bit of time so i'll answer for

359
00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:09,600
doug

360
00:14:13,509 --> 00:14:11,680
and say that we'll both have uh the

361
00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:13,519
appropriate hardware ready should

362
00:14:17,829 --> 00:14:16,560
we start feeling a little bit uh sick on

363
00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:17,839
board while we're

364
00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:20,560
in the vehicle uh after splashdown but

365
00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:22,480
we know the team is uh going to get us

366
00:14:26,069 --> 00:14:24,160
pulled up and on board the ship

367
00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:26,079
relatively quickly and so

368
00:14:29,189 --> 00:14:28,480
uh we're expecting to to be as prepared

369
00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:29,199
as we can be

370
00:14:33,030 --> 00:14:31,360
and have a really good feeling of about

371
00:14:36,389 --> 00:14:33,040
about being kind of under control as we

372
00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:38,949
all right next up we have andrea

373
00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:45,430
hi guys i'm looking forward to having

374
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:46,880
you back in houston

375
00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:49,440
um my question is also about splashdown

376
00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:49,920
um

377
00:14:54,069 --> 00:14:52,320
you know the vehicle pretty much lands

378
00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:54,079
itself so i'm curious what you guys

379
00:14:57,509 --> 00:14:55,279
think you'll be doing what you think

380
00:14:59,030 --> 00:14:57,519
that experience will be like you know

381
00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:59,040
if you'll be monitoring anything or

382
00:15:01,430 --> 00:15:00,720
looking out the windows or just holding

383
00:15:09,590 --> 00:15:01,440
on

384
00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:09,600
the

385
00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:12,880
and

386
00:15:16,710 --> 00:15:14,639
phase our way back towards the uh

387
00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:16,720
deorbit burned in the re-entry

388
00:15:20,230 --> 00:15:19,360
um we'll spend a good share of that

389
00:15:23,430 --> 00:15:20,240
sleeping

390
00:15:26,230 --> 00:15:23,440
and then monitoring the systems

391
00:15:26,949 --> 00:15:26,240
prior to and after we wake up then once

392
00:15:30,790 --> 00:15:26,959
we wake up

393
00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:30,800
we will uh eat fluid load

394
00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:33,680
go through suit up and then work our way

395
00:15:37,189 --> 00:15:34,880
into the uh

396
00:15:40,629 --> 00:15:37,199
entry portion of the flight and then the

397
00:15:43,749 --> 00:15:40,639
deer burn or deer but burn that entry so

398
00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:43,759
we'll be fairly busy when we're awake uh

399
00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:45,360
throughout the whole process and and

400
00:15:48,949 --> 00:15:47,279
then those last uh

401
00:15:51,590 --> 00:15:48,959
probably two and a half to three hours

402
00:15:53,110 --> 00:15:51,600
will be very busy as we get suited up

403
00:15:55,189 --> 00:15:53,120
strapped into our seats and then we'll

404
00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:55,199
be monitoring all the different systems

405
00:15:57,749 --> 00:15:56,399
of the vehicle

406
00:15:59,350 --> 00:15:57,759
ensuring that it's doing what it's

407
00:16:00,310 --> 00:15:59,360
supposed to be doing as we work our way

408
00:16:04,069 --> 00:16:00,320
back towards

409
00:16:05,670 --> 00:16:04,079
florida and then it it carries on

410
00:16:07,430 --> 00:16:05,680
all the way down through splashdown

411
00:16:07,990 --> 00:16:07,440
they're very key milestones that we have

412
00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:08,000
to go through

413
00:16:12,550 --> 00:16:10,240
that have to happen in sequence and in

414
00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:12,560
order and on time in order

415
00:16:16,949 --> 00:16:14,320
for everything to go the way it's

416
00:16:20,310 --> 00:16:16,959
supposed to and if if not we

417
00:16:22,230 --> 00:16:20,320
we along with the mission control out in

418
00:16:23,910 --> 00:16:22,240
hawthorne california the spacex mission

419
00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:23,920
control will be there to assist

420
00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:25,839
or to intervene if they need to do as

421
00:16:28,790 --> 00:16:27,120
well so there's

422
00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:28,800
it will be very busy there won't be a

423
00:16:33,829 --> 00:16:30,399
lot of looking out the window

424
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:33,839
certainly at that point where we sit

425
00:16:37,829 --> 00:16:35,680
in the vehicle we can see through those

426
00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:37,839
forward windows somewhat but

427
00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:39,759
mostly we'll be focused on the displays

428
00:16:51,189 --> 00:16:47,430
we'll go to gio benitez

429
00:16:53,189 --> 00:16:51,199
from abc news

430
00:16:55,189 --> 00:16:53,199
bob doug chris great to speak with you

431
00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:55,199
again and see that you're doing well

432
00:16:59,590 --> 00:16:57,600
i have two quick questions the first

433
00:17:01,990 --> 00:16:59,600
we're all looking at that forecast are

434
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:02,000
you at all concerned that this storm

435
00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:04,400
may be too close for comfort and and the

436
00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:05,199
second one

437
00:17:08,789 --> 00:17:07,039
bob we hear your wife megan she's going

438
00:17:10,949 --> 00:17:08,799
to be going up this spring this is going

439
00:17:17,669 --> 00:17:10,959
to be her first dragon flight

440
00:17:21,110 --> 00:17:20,390
well i think from a weather perspective

441
00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:21,120
just like

442
00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:23,280
everybody else on the nasa and spacex

443
00:17:26,630 --> 00:17:25,120
team we look forward to the

444
00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:26,640
the weather forecasts that are coming

445
00:17:29,669 --> 00:17:28,400
out daily at this point and they'll even

446
00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:29,679
get more frequent

447
00:17:34,150 --> 00:17:32,080
as we get closer to the actual

448
00:17:36,310 --> 00:17:34,160
splashdown i think on launch

449
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:36,320
the departure day we'll start to get you

450
00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:38,400
know every six hours we'll get another

451
00:17:42,070 --> 00:17:40,080
forecast sort of an update

452
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:42,080
so we're watching those closely mostly

453
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:43,120
to maintain

454
00:17:47,270 --> 00:17:45,200
awareness and see the trends and

455
00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:47,280
understand what the timeline would be

456
00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:49,360
if our recovery out of the water for

457
00:17:53,270 --> 00:17:51,360
example was delayed a little bit

458
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:53,280
but we have confidence that the teams on

459
00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:55,200
the ground are of course watching that

460
00:17:59,669 --> 00:17:58,080
much more closely than we are and we

461
00:18:01,590 --> 00:17:59,679
won't leave the space station without

462
00:18:02,310 --> 00:18:01,600
some good landing opportunities in front

463
00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:02,320
of us

464
00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:06,160
and so

465
00:18:09,590 --> 00:18:07,520
they're keeping us informed but the

466
00:18:09,990 --> 00:18:09,600
lion's share that work happens on their

467
00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:10,000
end

468
00:18:13,590 --> 00:18:11,919
we don't control the weather and we know

469
00:18:13,990 --> 00:18:13,600
we can stay up here longer there's more

470
00:18:15,750 --> 00:18:14,000
chow

471
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:15,760
and uh i know the space station

472
00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:17,440
program's got more work that we can do

473
00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:18,320
for those uh

474
00:18:22,630 --> 00:18:21,200
uh the pis and other folks that have

475
00:18:23,590 --> 00:18:22,640
sent science up here to the space

476
00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:23,600
station

477
00:18:27,029 --> 00:18:26,160
as far as my wife goes uh she's super

478
00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:27,039
excited

479
00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:30,720
and to be assigned to a spacex mission

480
00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:32,640
right on the spacex capsule up here to

481
00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:34,640
the international space station

482
00:18:38,630 --> 00:18:36,240
and of course i'll have a lot of tips

483
00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:38,640
for her a lot of them will be about

484
00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:40,960
how life on space station goes i think

485
00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:43,200
that's been the thing that's been more

486
00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:45,120
unique rather than the the capsule

487
00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:46,480
itself i think that's probably where

488
00:18:50,070 --> 00:18:47,440
i'll have the most

489
00:18:51,350 --> 00:18:50,080
to share with her but uh i'll definitely

490
00:18:53,909 --> 00:18:51,360
have some advice about

491
00:18:55,350 --> 00:18:53,919
living inside of dragon and where best

492
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:55,360
to pack

493
00:18:59,590 --> 00:18:57,280
all your personal items so that you can

494
00:19:01,510 --> 00:18:59,600
get to them conveniently

495
00:19:03,029 --> 00:19:01,520
because if you just like any trip that

496
00:19:05,430 --> 00:19:03,039
you make if you if you pack things

497
00:19:05,990 --> 00:19:05,440
appropriately it can be a very fun trip

498
00:19:08,710 --> 00:19:06,000
if you

499
00:19:10,310 --> 00:19:08,720
pack everything at the the bottom of the

500
00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:10,320
big van that you take when you go on

501
00:19:13,029 --> 00:19:10,960
vacation

502
00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:13,039
you got to get it all out one item at a

503
00:19:17,430 --> 00:19:15,360
time at various times it can be uh

504
00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:17,440
it can be tiring and can and eat into

505
00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:18,640
your enjoyment on the trip

506
00:19:22,950 --> 00:19:20,400
and so i'll definitely have some tips

507
00:19:24,470 --> 00:19:22,960
for but it'll be hard to

508
00:19:25,990 --> 00:19:24,480
tamping out all the excitement that she

509
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:26,000
has with any

510
00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:33,510
all right now we have joey roulette

511
00:19:41,270 --> 00:19:39,190
for doing this um what what about the

512
00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:41,280
process of returning you you and

513
00:19:45,270 --> 00:19:42,799
the spacex team wish you had more

514
00:19:46,870 --> 00:19:45,280
information on and um earlier it was

515
00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:46,880
said that you'll have the appropriate

516
00:19:50,950 --> 00:19:49,360
hardware ready in case you guys get sick

517
00:19:51,510 --> 00:19:50,960
is that something as simple as a paper

518
00:19:53,990 --> 00:19:51,520
bag or

519
00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:54,000
does crew dragon have like or for the

520
00:19:56,710 --> 00:19:55,440
flight suits do they have some kind of

521
00:20:04,470 --> 00:19:56,720
actual hardware for

522
00:20:08,390 --> 00:20:06,549
uh i didn't get your first question but

523
00:20:09,190 --> 00:20:08,400
i i certainly can answer your second one

524
00:20:12,070 --> 00:20:09,200
um

525
00:20:13,590 --> 00:20:12,080
yeah the the appropriate hardware uh

526
00:20:16,870 --> 00:20:13,600
just like on an airliner

527
00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:16,880
uh there are bags if you need them

528
00:20:19,990 --> 00:20:18,320
and we'll have those handy we'll

529
00:20:23,510 --> 00:20:20,000
probably have some towels handy as

530
00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:23,520
well and you know if that needs to

531
00:20:25,350 --> 00:20:24,000
happen

532
00:20:26,870 --> 00:20:25,360
it certainly wouldn't be the first time

533
00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:26,880
that that's happened in a space vehicle

534
00:20:29,830 --> 00:20:28,240
it will be the first time in this

535
00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:29,840
particular vehicle if we do

536
00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:33,360
but uh not not not the first time by any

537
00:20:36,070 --> 00:20:34,000
stretch

538
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:36,080
as folks at flying space know that

539
00:20:41,270 --> 00:20:38,080
sometimes going uphill can be

540
00:20:43,590 --> 00:20:41,280
a little bit uh have an effect on your

541
00:20:44,870 --> 00:20:43,600
system and sometimes coming downhill is

542
00:20:46,149 --> 00:20:44,880
the same way so

543
00:20:47,990 --> 00:20:46,159
we'll just have to see how it goes and

544
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:48,000
we'll certainly let you know

545
00:20:52,390 --> 00:20:50,960
what was your first question again the

546
00:20:53,990 --> 00:20:52,400
first question was what about the

547
00:20:55,830 --> 00:20:54,000
process of returning do you

548
00:21:01,350 --> 00:20:55,840
and the spacex team wish you had more

549
00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:03,990
yeah i think uh you know the biggest

550
00:21:06,549 --> 00:21:04,559
challenge

551
00:21:08,470 --> 00:21:06,559
and it was that way with shuttle is just

552
00:21:11,110 --> 00:21:08,480
the weather that we need in order to

553
00:21:11,750 --> 00:21:11,120
uh return home you know shuttle had some

554
00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:11,760
fairly

555
00:21:15,029 --> 00:21:14,000
uh significant uh weather criteria

556
00:21:17,830 --> 00:21:15,039
relative to

557
00:21:19,430 --> 00:21:17,840
dragon or capsule vehicle but it was but

558
00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:19,440
but we still have weather to deal with

559
00:21:22,789 --> 00:21:20,559
and of course

560
00:21:24,549 --> 00:21:22,799
anybody who's lived on the gulf coast or

561
00:21:26,310 --> 00:21:24,559
anywhere

562
00:21:27,909 --> 00:21:26,320
in in the south along the coast in the

563
00:21:29,990 --> 00:21:27,919
united states knows that

564
00:21:31,430 --> 00:21:30,000
august and september tough months to

565
00:21:34,310 --> 00:21:31,440
deal with with the hurricanes

566
00:21:36,549 --> 00:21:34,320
that always tend to crop up and 2020

567
00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:36,559
seems to be a pretty active year by all

568
00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:38,720
by all accounts so i think the biggest

569
00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:40,720
thing we'd all like to know is just

570
00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:42,880
the weather but you know as with any

571
00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:44,480
tropical system there

572
00:21:48,710 --> 00:21:46,400
even with today's technology somewhat

573
00:21:51,990 --> 00:21:48,720
unpredictable they wobble they move

574
00:21:53,750 --> 00:21:52,000
the center moves you know and you have

575
00:21:56,630 --> 00:21:53,760
fronts that affect them and where they

576
00:21:59,270 --> 00:21:56,640
go and that obviously has an effect on

577
00:22:00,630 --> 00:21:59,280
our landing areas so if anything just

578
00:22:01,909 --> 00:22:00,640
we'd like to be able to predict the

579
00:22:02,789 --> 00:22:01,919
weather a little bit better than we can

580
00:22:05,350 --> 00:22:02,799
but we have

581
00:22:07,350 --> 00:22:05,360
some of the best people in the business

582
00:22:09,750 --> 00:22:07,360
working on this for us and

583
00:22:11,669 --> 00:22:09,760
if the weather is not good we we won't

584
00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:11,679
try to leave tomorrow we'll leave on a

585
00:22:19,669 --> 00:22:17,430
let's go to marcia dunn from the

586
00:22:21,909 --> 00:22:19,679
associated press

587
00:22:23,590 --> 00:22:21,919
yes hi um for bob i'm wondering if you

588
00:22:24,549 --> 00:22:23,600
had a hunch before your flight that

589
00:22:27,270 --> 00:22:24,559
megan would be

590
00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:27,280
writing your same dragon to orbit so

591
00:22:32,070 --> 00:22:28,960
soon after your flight

592
00:22:34,230 --> 00:22:32,080
and and secondly um have you or doug

593
00:22:36,390 --> 00:22:34,240
been in touch directly with elon musk

594
00:22:37,029 --> 00:22:36,400
during the flight and if so what's he

595
00:22:39,990 --> 00:22:37,039
telling you

596
00:22:47,110 --> 00:22:40,000
what's he asking is he being reassuring

597
00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:49,909
of course i think marcia we all have

598
00:22:53,830 --> 00:22:51,360
inklings or hints that

599
00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:53,840
things might be in work as we go forward

600
00:22:57,590 --> 00:22:54,400
but uh

601
00:22:59,270 --> 00:22:57,600
as anyone who's will tell you who's been

602
00:23:01,430 --> 00:22:59,280
a part of the flight assignment process

603
00:23:02,710 --> 00:23:01,440
before i know chris and i have both

604
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:02,720
assigned people to that

605
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:04,960
uh that role and you know really the

606
00:23:09,350 --> 00:23:07,360
decisions are kind of made and final

607
00:23:10,789 --> 00:23:09,360
really towards the very end of it and so

608
00:23:12,149 --> 00:23:10,799
while there are hints of what might

609
00:23:13,830 --> 00:23:12,159
happen in the future

610
00:23:15,350 --> 00:23:13,840
you know we don't uh we don't count our

611
00:23:17,190 --> 00:23:15,360
chickens until they're hashed so to

612
00:23:18,789 --> 00:23:17,200
speak with respect to uh

613
00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:18,799
flight assignments so while i had a hint

614
00:23:22,470 --> 00:23:20,480
uh you know we always wait for the

615
00:23:24,149 --> 00:23:22,480
the final data before we go forward with

616
00:23:26,630 --> 00:23:24,159
it as far as

617
00:23:28,149 --> 00:23:26,640
elon goes we did spend some time with

618
00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:28,159
him uh pre-launch

619
00:23:32,149 --> 00:23:30,080
and of course with the demo one mission

620
00:23:32,950 --> 00:23:32,159
we were able to spend some time with him

621
00:23:34,950 --> 00:23:32,960
as well

622
00:23:37,110 --> 00:23:34,960
uh once we've gotten on orbit we have

623
00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:37,120
heard from the the management team uh at

624
00:23:41,269 --> 00:23:38,480
spacex i i know

625
00:23:42,230 --> 00:23:41,279
we've gwen reached out to us and uh hans

626
00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:42,240
reached out to us

627
00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:44,880
and of course uh lee rosen uh and then

628
00:23:47,990 --> 00:23:46,720
their ops team lead chris young

629
00:23:50,789 --> 00:23:48,000
so we've we've definitely been in

630
00:23:53,830 --> 00:23:50,799
contact with the entire spectrum of

631
00:23:55,430 --> 00:23:53,840
folks on the spacex side and

632
00:23:57,029 --> 00:23:55,440
they've all been you know it's not

633
00:23:58,470 --> 00:23:57,039
reassuring is the wrong word

634
00:24:01,029 --> 00:23:58,480
but you know they certainly have

635
00:24:02,310 --> 00:24:01,039
confidence in the equipment and the plan

636
00:24:03,909 --> 00:24:02,320
that we have in front of us

637
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:03,919
and they continue to tweak and make

638
00:24:07,110 --> 00:24:05,520
updates to make it as best as it

639
00:24:09,110 --> 00:24:07,120
possibly can

640
00:24:10,470 --> 00:24:09,120
be for the splashdown that uh we're

641
00:24:12,549 --> 00:24:10,480
going to go through here in

642
00:24:14,070 --> 00:24:12,559
just a couple of days and so i think

643
00:24:16,149 --> 00:24:14,080
that's probably the thing that

644
00:24:18,549 --> 00:24:16,159
really is most impressive about that

645
00:24:20,310 --> 00:24:18,559
team is that willingness to continue

646
00:24:21,750 --> 00:24:20,320
to improve to continue to make

647
00:24:22,710 --> 00:24:21,760
corrections there are things that have

648
00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:22,720
changed

649
00:24:26,789 --> 00:24:25,520
uh minor things but things that they've

650
00:24:30,070 --> 00:24:26,799
thought a lot more about

651
00:24:32,149 --> 00:24:30,080
and tested on the ground prior to

652
00:24:33,909 --> 00:24:32,159
our splashdown but since we've launched

653
00:24:34,950 --> 00:24:33,919
and we've gotten some updates on those

654
00:24:36,310 --> 00:24:34,960
things and it's a

655
00:24:37,990 --> 00:24:36,320
it's the mark of a good team that

656
00:24:40,549 --> 00:24:38,000
continues to strive to

657
00:24:46,789 --> 00:24:40,559
make the product make the event as

658
00:24:50,070 --> 00:24:46,799
successful as it can possibly be

659
00:24:53,110 --> 00:24:50,080
now we have robert perlman from collect

660
00:24:57,190 --> 00:24:55,750
hi guys um the first spaceship named

661
00:24:59,909 --> 00:24:57,200
endeavour splashed down

662
00:25:01,269 --> 00:24:59,919
on the apollo 15 mission on august 7

663
00:25:03,510 --> 00:25:01,279
1971

664
00:25:05,110 --> 00:25:03,520
just a few days and 49 years after your

665
00:25:06,310 --> 00:25:05,120
expected splashdown

666
00:25:08,630 --> 00:25:06,320
can you reflect a little bit on the

667
00:25:10,870 --> 00:25:08,640
legacy of spaceships named endeavor

668
00:25:12,149 --> 00:25:10,880
including your own and do you intend or

669
00:25:14,710 --> 00:25:12,159
hope for crew 2

670
00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:14,720
to continue to use the name or was that

671
00:25:22,310 --> 00:25:16,480
a call sign just for

672
00:25:27,990 --> 00:25:25,750
well the name endeavor of that we used

673
00:25:30,310 --> 00:25:28,000
was specifically just for this vehicle

674
00:25:33,110 --> 00:25:30,320
uh you know it was kind of a tradition

675
00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:33,120
where the the soyuz crews named their

676
00:25:37,029 --> 00:25:34,320
vehicles

677
00:25:38,149 --> 00:25:37,039
and apollo crews gemini crews mercury

678
00:25:40,390 --> 00:25:38,159
crews named their vehicles

679
00:25:42,549 --> 00:25:40,400
and a lot of folks thought that it would

680
00:25:45,029 --> 00:25:42,559
be a good tradition to continue

681
00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:45,039
um so that's that's what we did and it

682
00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:45,679
was

683
00:25:49,029 --> 00:25:47,440
probably a little more personal for bob

684
00:25:52,070 --> 00:25:49,039
and i since our first flights

685
00:25:55,269 --> 00:25:52,080
along with chris uh also

686
00:25:57,190 --> 00:25:55,279
uh was on endeavor shuttle endeavor and

687
00:25:58,789 --> 00:25:57,200
that's kind of where it started with us

688
00:26:00,710 --> 00:25:58,799
and we just thought that that was

689
00:26:02,310 --> 00:26:00,720
appropriate but it's it's neat that it

690
00:26:03,430 --> 00:26:02,320
has a legacy that goes all the way back

691
00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:03,440
to apollo

692
00:26:07,110 --> 00:26:06,080
and uh honestly i didn't i didn't

693
00:26:09,430 --> 00:26:07,120
realize the

694
00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:09,440
significance as far as how close it was

695
00:26:12,470 --> 00:26:11,200
to splashdown as as what

696
00:26:14,470 --> 00:26:12,480
hopefully we'll be doing here in a

697
00:26:16,710 --> 00:26:14,480
couple days so that's kind of

698
00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:16,720
also just kind of icing on the cake i

699
00:26:19,909 --> 00:26:18,240
think but

700
00:26:22,390 --> 00:26:19,919
we we really thought that that name was

701
00:26:24,310 --> 00:26:22,400
a was the name to use and it and it

702
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:24,320
really means a lot personally to bob and

703
00:26:27,909 --> 00:26:25,760
i and you know

704
00:26:29,190 --> 00:26:27,919
as bob said before we really appreciate

705
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:29,200
spacex

706
00:26:33,830 --> 00:26:31,600
affording us that opportunity to name

707
00:26:36,549 --> 00:26:33,840
our capsule endeavor

708
00:26:37,190 --> 00:26:36,559
and we have time for one maybe two more

709
00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:37,200
questions

710
00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:39,840
so let's go with lauren grush from the

711
00:26:45,990 --> 00:26:44,950
hi thank you so much for taking my

712
00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:46,000
question

713
00:26:50,310 --> 00:26:48,480
when scott kelly returned from his trip

714
00:26:50,950 --> 00:26:50,320
in space he said he was looking forward

715
00:26:52,789 --> 00:26:50,960
to

716
00:26:54,789 --> 00:26:52,799
throwing himself in his pool when he got

717
00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:54,799
home i know your mission has been much

718
00:26:58,230 --> 00:26:56,000
shorter than his but

719
00:26:59,830 --> 00:26:58,240
anything in particular y'all are looking

720
00:27:05,350 --> 00:26:59,840
forward to when you get on the ground

721
00:27:09,190 --> 00:27:07,909
thanks lauren i think for me and uh

722
00:27:10,789 --> 00:27:09,200
probably for doug as well

723
00:27:12,390 --> 00:27:10,799
i think we're really excited to see our

724
00:27:14,630 --> 00:27:12,400
families um

725
00:27:16,549 --> 00:27:14,640
you know my son is six years old and i

726
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:16,559
can tell from the videos that i get and

727
00:27:21,029 --> 00:27:18,480
talking to him on the phone that uh

728
00:27:22,630 --> 00:27:21,039
he's changed a lot even in the just a

729
00:27:23,029 --> 00:27:22,640
couple of months that we've been up here

730
00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:23,039
and so

731
00:27:26,470 --> 00:27:24,320
that's the thing i'm most looking

732
00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:26,480
forward to is of of course uh

733
00:27:33,029 --> 00:27:30,720
seeing my family my wife and my son

734
00:27:35,269 --> 00:27:33,039
all right and this will be our last

735
00:27:38,070 --> 00:27:35,279
question we have

736
00:27:40,710 --> 00:27:38,080
mark caro from aviation and space

737
00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:40,720
technology

738
00:27:48,230 --> 00:27:43,840
thank you my questions for chris

739
00:27:50,310 --> 00:27:48,240
how would you assess the um

740
00:27:51,510 --> 00:27:50,320
what bob and doug brought to your

741
00:27:54,389 --> 00:27:51,520
mission in terms of

742
00:27:55,110 --> 00:27:54,399
contributions to science and technology

743
00:28:00,710 --> 00:27:55,120
development

744
00:28:03,750 --> 00:28:02,870
yeah hi mark uh it's a simple math

745
00:28:06,149 --> 00:28:03,760
equation

746
00:28:07,269 --> 00:28:06,159
there was one and then there were three

747
00:28:09,909 --> 00:28:07,279
uh so we we

748
00:28:11,029 --> 00:28:09,919
effectively tripled our ability to get

749
00:28:12,789 --> 00:28:11,039
