00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:30,800
after 64 days in space completing the

17
00:04:35,110 --> 00:04:33,040
first crude flight of the spacex crew

18
00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:35,120
dragon their mission was to test the

00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:37,040
capabilities of the new commercial space

20
00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:39,040
vehicle for regular crew transportation

21
00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:41,280
to the international space station but

22
00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:43,120
they contributed a whole lot more than

23
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:45,199
that on their mission during their 62

24
00:04:48,629 --> 00:04:46,880
days aboard station they dedicated more

25
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:48,639
than 100 hours to scientific

26
00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:50,720
investigation and worked with the

27

pensacola

58
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:33,600
excited to be back we're already working

59
00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:35,600
through our

60
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:37,919
exercise rehabilitation program to kind

61
00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:40,240
of get our earth legs back

62
00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:42,240
we were lucky that we

63
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:43,759
we worked out pretty hard on space

64
00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:45,600
station and i think we've both done

65
00:06:49,589 --> 00:06:47,600
pretty well up to this point

66
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:49,599
we're also lucky in the fact that we

67
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:51,280
landed in some pretty smooth waters

68
00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:53,280
thanks to the weather folks

69
00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:56,160
and so i think that helped a lot just

70
00:07:02,469 --> 00:06:57,599
incredibly

71
00:07:05,189 --> 00:07:02,479
excited to share the uh

72
00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:05,199
mission with all of you in another way

73
00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:06,479
and uh

74
00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:09,280

teams to uh get dragon through its first

76

crude flight uh

77
00:07:18,790 --> 00:07:15,919
flawlessly uh just

78
00:07:21,189 --> 00:07:18,800
we're almost kind of speechless as

79
00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:21,199
as far as how well the vehicle did and

80
00:07:25,350 --> 00:07:23,599
how how well the mission went

81
00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:25,360
uh and all the things we did on board

82
00:07:31,830 --> 00:07:28,240

was uh for our mission and followed

86
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:39,840
along and and we hope it brings a little

87
00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:42,840
bit of brightness to a pretty tough

88
00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:45,199
2020. you doug we'll now hand it over to

89
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:46,800
bob benkin

90
00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:49,120
i think doug pretty much covered most of

91
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:50,800
the things that either one of us would

92
00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:53,120
say about the the mission itself um i

93
00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:54,960
would just add that you know it's a it's

94
00:07:59,189 --> 00:07:57,440
a humbling experience to be a part of

95
00:08:01,270 --> 00:07:59,199
what was accomplished with the spacex

96
00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:01,280
vehicle just a wonderful team on the

97
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:03,840
nasa side and the spacex side

98
00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:06,160
to pull it all off it took years in the

99
00:08:09,909 --> 00:08:08,160
making i think doug and i have been

100
00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:09,919
working at it for a good solid five

101
00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:12,319
years to to get to this point and it's

102
00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:14,720
just uh awesome to kind of see it to

103
00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:17,120
fruition i know that one of the things

104
00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:19,199
that we're most proud of is is bringing

105
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:21,520
launch capability back to the florida

106
00:08:25,909 --> 00:08:24,080
coast back to america and of course uh

107
00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:25,919
landing safely at the end of all of that

108
00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:28,960
and so uh just uh again humbled to be a

109
00:08:34,469 --> 00:08:31,840
part of such an awesome team and uh awed

110
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:34,479
by what they accomplished

111

118
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:48,800
of questions so if you find that yours

122
00:09:01,350 --> 00:08:56,399
ask nasa let's start on our phone bridge

123
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:03,430
hi bob and doug good to talk to you and

124
00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:06,880
congratulations on such a great launch

125
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:09,760
leading up to this mission the date of

126
00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:12,320
the launch was always so uncertain and

127
00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:14,399
you mentioned you would plan your life

128
00:09:19,190 --> 00:09:17,120
in increments of weeks or months at a

129
00:09:21,110 --> 00:09:19,200
time so i'm wondering how does it feel

130
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:21,120
now after all that build up now that

131
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:23,040
it's over and you have a little more

132
00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:26,800
certainty in your schedule again thanks

133
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:28,320
that's a good question that i don't know

134
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:29,760
if certainty is the right word at this

135
00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:32,080
point you know

136
00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:34,320
i think for both of us it still feels uh

137
00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:35,680
pretty surreal and i know that's a

138
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:37,200
little bit overused but i don't know how

139
00:09:40,389 --> 00:09:38,880
else to describe it you know one minute

140
00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:40,399
you're bobbing in the

141
00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:42,560
gulf of mexico and you know less than

142
00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:44,399
two days later you're

143
00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:46,800
in a news conference so

144
00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:48,000
um

145
00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:50,320
you know it's been a time to reflect and

146
00:09:53,829 --> 00:09:52,480
and and think about a lot of a lot of

147
00:09:55,509 --> 00:09:53,839
the things that went on and the lead up

148
00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:55,519
to the mission the mission itself you

149
00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:57,600
know the launch the on-orbit time the

150
00:10:03,030 --> 00:09:59,920
entry the landing

151
00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:03,040
uh but yeah at least we know

152
00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:04,959
we're done with the mission which you

153
00:10:08,630 --> 00:10:06,959
know we didn't even really know launch

154
00:10:10,150 --> 00:10:08,640
dates until just a few months before we

155
00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:10,160
launched we didn't know the duration of

156
00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:12,000
the mission until

157
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:14,640
a few weeks before we came home and

158
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:16,560
so i guess it's nice

159
00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:19,040
in that in that respect to to be back

160
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:20,320
with our family and our friends here at

161
00:10:23,590 --> 00:10:21,360
nasa

162
00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:23,600
and and working through uh the post

163
00:10:26,630 --> 00:10:25,200
flight activities that we have and

164
00:10:28,389 --> 00:10:26,640
they're pretty

165
00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:28,399
pretty well scheduled for the next few

166
00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:30,480
weeks for sure in fact there's a lot of

167
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:33,519
stuff to do over the next few weeks so

168
00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:35,680
we're hoping at some point just to take

169
00:10:40,069 --> 00:10:38,399
some time off and and share a little

170
00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:40,079
more time with our families since the

171
00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:41,279
they were the ones that really had the

172
00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:43,440
sacrifice over the as bob said over the

173
00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:45,360
last five years

174
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:47,360
because we were we were mostly in

175
00:10:53,110 --> 00:10:49,519
california and we were mostly obviously

176
00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:55,269
next we'll go to andrea leinfelder from

177
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:00,630
welcome home

178
00:11:04,389 --> 00:11:02,880
bob you gave a really great description

179
00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:04,399
of what it was like to launch in the

180
00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:06,000
crew dragon i was hoping you could give

181
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:07,920
us a similarly vivid account of what it

182
00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:10,320
was like to land thank you

183
00:11:13,670 --> 00:11:12,480
well thank you andrea you know the the

184
00:11:15,269 --> 00:11:13,680
landing was

185
00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:15,279
i would say it was more than what uh

186
00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:17,440
doug and i expected um

187
00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:19,600
things are always a pretty smooth as you

188
00:11:22,870 --> 00:11:21,200
work through a deorbit burn because of

189
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:22,880
course you're you're still in low earth

190
00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:24,720
orbit uh while you take that little bit

191
00:11:28,630 --> 00:11:26,480
of energy out that it takes to lower you

192
00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:28,640
into the atmosphere and start the trip

193
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:29,920
home

194
00:11:35,269 --> 00:11:31,600
as we kind of descended through the

195
00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:35,279
atmosphere i personally was surprised at

196
00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:37,600
just how quickly at all the events all

197
00:11:41,110 --> 00:11:39,120
transpired

198
00:11:42,710 --> 00:11:41,120
it seemed like just a couple minutes

199
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:42,720
later after the burn was complete we

200
00:11:47,350 --> 00:11:44,320
could look out the windows and see the

201
00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:47,360
clouds rushing by at a much accelerated

202
00:11:50,629 --> 00:11:48,560
rate you know one of the things we

203
00:11:52,470 --> 00:11:50,639
didn't have a lot of time to do during

204
00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:52,480
our time dock to station with how busy

205
00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:55,200
we were was to really focus on the earth

206
00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:56,959
for an extended period of time and

207
00:12:00,230 --> 00:11:58,480
during free flight and dragon we were

208
00:12:02,069 --> 00:12:00,240
able to do that and probably had a

209
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:02,079
pretty good feel for the the rate that

210
00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:03,680
the earth was moving below us and we

211
00:12:06,949 --> 00:12:05,040
could definitely tell things were

212
00:12:07,829 --> 00:12:06,959
picking up quick after we started that

213
00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:07,839
burn

214
00:12:12,550 --> 00:12:09,839
um once we descended a little bit into

215
00:12:15,750 --> 00:12:12,560
the atmosphere you know dragon really it

216
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:15,760
came alive it uh started to to fire

217
00:12:20,550 --> 00:12:17,760
thrusters and and keep us pointed in the

218
00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:20,560
appropriate direction um the atmosphere

219
00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:22,240
starts to make noise you can you can

220
00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:25,440
hear that uh rumble outside the vehicle

221
00:12:29,030 --> 00:12:27,360
and as the vehicle tries to control you

222
00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:29,040
feel a little bit of that that shimmy in

223
00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:30,560
your body and our bodies were much

224
00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:33,600
better attuned to the environment so we

225
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:35,680
could feel those small rolls and pitches

226
00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:38,000
and yaws and all those little motions

227
00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:40,079
were things that we picked up on inside

228
00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:41,200
the vehicle

229
00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:42,880
as we descended through the atmosphere

230
00:12:47,269 --> 00:12:44,880
the uh the thrusters were firing almost

231
00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:47,279
continuously and i think uh this the

232
00:12:51,910 --> 00:12:49,440
sound that that makes i did record some

233
00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:51,920
audio of it but it doesn't sound like a

234
00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:54,240
machine it sounds like an animal coming

235
00:12:58,150 --> 00:12:56,480
through the atmosphere with all that uh

236
00:12:59,990 --> 00:12:58,160
all the the puffs that are happening

237
00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:00,000
from the uh the thrusters and and the

238
00:13:03,829 --> 00:13:02,880
atmospheric noise it just continues to

239
00:13:06,150 --> 00:13:03,839
uh

240
00:13:07,430 --> 00:13:06,160
gain magnitude as you as you descend

241
00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:07,440
down through the atmosphere and i think

242
00:13:11,269 --> 00:13:09,120
we both really really noticed that

243
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:11,279
aspect of things

244
00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:13,519
all the separation events from the trunk

245
00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:16,240
separation through the parachute firings

246
00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:18,240
were very much like getting a hit in the

247
00:13:21,670 --> 00:13:20,240
back of the chair with a baseball bat

248
00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:21,680
you know just a crack

249
00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:24,000
and then you get a some sort of a motion

250
00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:25,600
associated with that usually pretty

251
00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:27,760
light for the trunk separation but with

252
00:13:31,269 --> 00:13:29,440
the parachutes it was a pretty

253
00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:31,279
significant jolt

254
00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:32,880
and a couple of jolts as you go through

255
00:13:36,550 --> 00:13:34,800
the this reefing of the parachutes as

256
00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:36,560
well and so

257
00:13:40,949 --> 00:13:38,560
all the way down uh we were talking

258
00:13:42,550 --> 00:13:40,959
about it i think uh i took a line from a

259
00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:42,560
old movie that doug and i were both

260
00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:44,399
familiar with at one point because uh

261
00:13:50,069 --> 00:13:48,480
under the g load of about 4.2 g's i said

262
00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:50,079
want to get some coffee you know much

263
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:52,240
like we had seen in an old movie that we

264
00:13:55,350 --> 00:13:53,839
had watched because that was really the

265
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:55,360
the feeling that we had had and that's

266
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:56,880
the best way to describe it if you've

267
00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:57,680
seen

268
00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:59,199
an old movie that happened to have some

269
00:14:02,870 --> 00:14:00,639
guys uh uh who had been in the

270
00:14:04,550 --> 00:14:02,880
centrifuge that's what we felt like

271
00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:04,560
when the time came to splash down i

272
00:14:08,470 --> 00:14:06,320
think we were watching the altimeter

273
00:14:10,949 --> 00:14:08,480
which is a gps altimeter so it's not

274
00:14:13,189 --> 00:14:10,959
super accurate everywhere that you're

275
00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:13,199
located and so we got to uh

276
00:14:16,949 --> 00:14:15,199
below zero for our altitude on that

277
00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:16,959
indicator which was a little bit

278
00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:18,480
surprising and then we we felt the

279
00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:20,480
splash and we saw it splash up over the

280
00:14:25,110 --> 00:14:22,720
windows it was just a

281
00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:25,120
a great relief i think for both of us at

282
00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:27,279
that point and uh i can't say enough

283
00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:29,440
about how well the spacex team trained

284
00:14:33,670 --> 00:14:31,600
us you know they provided us some audio

285
00:14:35,509 --> 00:14:33,680
clips of what what it was like inside

286
00:14:38,629 --> 00:14:35,519
the demo one vehicle so that we were

287
00:14:40,870 --> 00:14:38,639
familiar with all those sounds and uh

288
00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:40,880
reassuring is not quite the right word

289
00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:42,880
because we think of it more in technical

290
00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:44,880
technical terms as you know pilots and

291
00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:46,880
engineers riding along with that vehicle

292
00:14:51,350 --> 00:14:49,199
but uh when it performed as expected and

293
00:14:53,430 --> 00:14:51,360
we could check off those events uh we

294
00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:53,440
were really really comfortable uh coming

295
00:14:57,189 --> 00:14:55,360
through the atmosphere even though you

296
00:14:59,269 --> 00:14:57,199
know it felt like we were inside of an

297
00:15:01,509 --> 00:14:59,279
animal

298
00:15:05,189 --> 00:15:01,519
let's go to david curley from the

299
00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:07,509
oh bob what a description welcome back

300
00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:09,760
to both of you uh i have a lot of

301
00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:11,440
technical questions but let's do the fun

302
00:15:17,509 --> 00:15:12,399
question

303
00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:17,519
did you leave something for megan you

304
00:15:21,509 --> 00:15:19,440
don't have to tell me what it is will

305
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:21,519
spacex leave it there

306
00:15:26,949 --> 00:15:23,920
and doug you said you would talk about

307
00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:26,959
the historical meanings uh afterwards

308
00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:29,199
here we are big picture what does this

309
00:15:38,150 --> 00:15:35,110
well uh inside the vehicle you know it's

310
00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:38,160
it's not uh something we don't do uh is

311
00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:40,000
leave things behind we do our best to

312
00:15:43,110 --> 00:15:41,519
you know keep it in ship shape we did

313
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:43,120
leave a a patch

314
00:15:47,189 --> 00:15:45,120
uh inside the vehicle there's a demo one

315
00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:47,199
sticker that that we added and we did

316
00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:49,600
give the ship a name uh endeavor and i'm

317
00:15:52,949 --> 00:15:51,360
hopeful that they'll be able to keep

318
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:52,959
both of those things as they go forward

319
00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:54,720
and add their their

320
00:16:03,030 --> 00:16:01,749
i guess for me from the historical

321
00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:03,040
aspect that

322
00:16:05,350 --> 00:16:04,160
i think

323
00:16:08,069 --> 00:16:05,360
is certainly

324
00:16:10,790 --> 00:16:08,079
the the first u.s crude vehicle since

325
00:16:13,829 --> 00:16:10,800
the shuttle so nine years ago

326
00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:13,839
uh certainly uh personally

327
00:16:17,430 --> 00:16:16,240
it's it's significant because i was the

328
00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:17,440
last shuttle pilot and then the first

329
00:16:20,949 --> 00:16:19,120
commander dragon

330
00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:20,959
and so that that's

331
00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:22,880
it's it's neat to think about now you

332
00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:24,560
know i uh

333
00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:26,560
and i certainly maybe a year from now

334
00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:28,560
we'll we'll think a lot more about it uh

335
00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:30,399
but i i'm

336
00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:31,440
i'm

337
00:16:33,269 --> 00:16:32,240
more

338
00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:33,279
uh

339
00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:34,959
i think what's more important to me is

340
00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:37,600
that is the historical aspect for

341
00:16:42,389 --> 00:16:40,240
nasa and and certainly for spacex it's

342
00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:42,399
just for a company that's

343
00:16:47,269 --> 00:16:44,800
only been around for a decade or a

344
00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:47,279
little more than that to build a

345
00:16:53,269 --> 00:16:49,920
spaceship that takes crew

346
00:16:55,110 --> 00:16:53,279
into uh orbit and returns them safely is

347
00:16:56,389 --> 00:16:55,120
that that that part of the historical

348
00:16:58,629 --> 00:16:56,399
aspect uh

349
00:17:00,310 --> 00:16:58,639
for me is is probably most significant

350
00:17:02,150 --> 00:17:00,320
that just it's

351
00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:02,160
and to be part of that

352
00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:04,559
for me is is also

353
00:17:08,630 --> 00:17:07,039
by far the most important and one of the

354
00:17:10,870 --> 00:17:08,640
most incredible highlights that i'll

355
00:17:14,390 --> 00:17:10,880
have from a professional career

356
00:17:16,789 --> 00:17:14,400
uh just to just share in that uh that

357
00:17:20,230 --> 00:17:16,799
journey that odyssey that uh

358
00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:20,240
endeavor as we as we named our ship um

359
00:17:25,990 --> 00:17:22,319
was just uh one of the

360
00:17:29,430 --> 00:17:26,000
true honors of of my my entire life but

361
00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:31,190
will now go to marcia dunn from

362
00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:33,520
associated press

363
00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:36,400
hi i'm i'm wondering did either of you

364
00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:38,080
realize real time that you were

365
00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:40,000
surrounded by pleasure boats filled with

366
00:17:45,430 --> 00:17:43,039
gawkers uh though soon after splashdown

367
00:17:46,950 --> 00:17:45,440
and if so were you concerned and if if

368
00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:46,960
you were unaware of them were you

369
00:17:51,110 --> 00:17:49,440
surprised to find that out afterward and

370
00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:51,120
bob a real quick question when's the

371
00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:52,320
puppy arriving

372
00:17:57,510 --> 00:17:54,640
[Laughter]

373
00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:57,520
well i guess since uh bob's got a really

374
00:18:01,510 --> 00:17:59,200
important question to answer i'll talk

375
00:18:03,430 --> 00:18:01,520
about the boaters um

376
00:18:06,870 --> 00:18:03,440
you know this is something that we we

377
00:18:09,909 --> 00:18:06,880
discussed uh as a nasa spacex group

378
00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:09,919
prior to demo one actually

379
00:18:14,630 --> 00:18:12,320
and uh you know we certainly appreciate

380
00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:14,640
the folks wanting to participate in the

381
00:18:17,669 --> 00:18:15,600
event

382
00:18:19,510 --> 00:18:17,679
but uh you know there's some safety

383
00:18:20,950 --> 00:18:19,520
aspects that i think you know as the

384
00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:20,960
administrator said we'll have to take a

385
00:18:25,110 --> 00:18:23,200
look at it because it just can't can't

386
00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:25,120
happen like it did before

387
00:18:30,789 --> 00:18:27,360
but certainly we

388
00:18:33,669 --> 00:18:30,799
we were not uh and it's mostly due to

389
00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:33,679
kind of the way the windows looked after

390
00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:35,440
after splashdown so

391
00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:36,240
you know

392
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:38,080
the the re-entry

393
00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:40,880
is is a fairly dynamic event and you can

394
00:18:44,710 --> 00:18:42,880
see from you know just an overall view

395
00:18:47,350 --> 00:18:44,720
of the capsule that uh

396
00:18:49,270 --> 00:18:47,360
re-entry is a pretty demanding

397
00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:49,280
environment you know with the different

398
00:18:52,150 --> 00:18:50,160
uh

399
00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:52,160
scorches on the vehicle and the windows

400
00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:56,320
were were not spared any of that uh

401
00:19:00,230 --> 00:18:58,320
you to look out the windows you could

402
00:19:02,070 --> 00:19:00,240
basically tell that it was daylight but

403
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:02,080
very little out so we didn't really see

404
00:19:05,110 --> 00:19:04,320
anything clearly out the windows until

405
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:05,120
the

406
00:19:09,350 --> 00:19:07,760
spacex recovery crews got uh

407
00:19:11,590 --> 00:19:09,360
near us with the fast boats and then we

408
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:11,600
could see a head or two out the window

409
00:19:15,909 --> 00:19:13,760
yeah i had absolutely no awareness of

410
00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:15,919
the the other flotilla that was out

411
00:19:23,669 --> 00:19:19,760
there until we were back on board uh

412
00:19:25,350 --> 00:19:23,679
go searcher and in the medical facility

413
00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:25,360
yeah i just would add a little bit to

414
00:19:29,270 --> 00:19:27,360
that which is you know folks uh need to

415
00:19:31,350 --> 00:19:29,280
realize we were delayed with actually

416
00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:31,360
opening the hatch for an extended period

417
00:19:35,430 --> 00:19:33,760
while the teams really made sure that

418
00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:35,440
everything was clear and the the vehicle

419
00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:38,080
was safe for us to exit and for them to

420
00:19:41,590 --> 00:19:39,600
get as many people

421
00:19:44,710 --> 00:19:41,600
as required to you know perform that

422
00:19:47,110 --> 00:19:44,720
extraction for us and so just a a word

423
00:19:48,870 --> 00:19:47,120
to the wise for folks who have ideas of

424
00:19:50,230 --> 00:19:48,880
coming that close again in the future

425
00:19:53,510 --> 00:19:50,240
that you know we take extreme

426
00:19:55,270 --> 00:19:53,520
precautions to make sure it is safe and

427
00:19:56,870 --> 00:19:55,280
we do that for a reason and hopefully

428
00:19:58,630 --> 00:19:56,880
they'll appreciate that you know that's

429
00:19:59,990 --> 00:19:58,640
required really with uh spacecraft

430
00:20:02,149 --> 00:20:00,000
operations

431
00:20:04,070 --> 00:20:02,159
as far as the puppy goes we're on about

432
00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:04,080
a two-week time frame where we'll we

433
00:20:07,830 --> 00:20:05,760
need to teach my son a little bit about

434
00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:07,840
the things that are required to you know

435
00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:09,679
have a dog in the house and make sure

436
00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:11,200
he's comfortable with picking up his

437
00:20:14,950 --> 00:20:13,280
responsibilities associated with the dog

438
00:20:17,110 --> 00:20:14,960
you know i've done a lot of that with

439
00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:17,120
the ip phone from the space station over

440
00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:19,760
the last couple months but now he's got

441
00:20:24,549 --> 00:20:22,480
to put his uh put his work in to get the

442
00:20:26,149 --> 00:20:24,559
dog bed in the right location and and

443
00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:26,159
and show me that he's ready to take on

444
00:20:29,990 --> 00:20:28,240
that responsibility and you know he's

445
00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:30,000
gonna he's gonna love that that puppy

446
00:20:33,830 --> 00:20:32,080
and he's gonna he needs to bring him up

447
00:20:36,789 --> 00:20:33,840
right and so we're gonna set him up for

448
00:20:39,909 --> 00:20:36,799
success uh otherwise uh it'll be my dog

449
00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:42,149
let's go to robert perlman from collect

450
00:20:50,549 --> 00:20:47,270
hi bob and doug great to see you back on

451
00:20:52,870 --> 00:20:50,559
earth um up until now after a historic

452
00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:52,880
nasa first flight like yours it would

453
00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:54,480
almost be a given that something from

454
00:20:59,669 --> 00:20:57,360
the mission the spacecraft or the space

455
00:21:01,190 --> 00:20:59,679
dudes would be headed to the smithsonian

456
00:21:02,630 --> 00:21:01,200
but given the commercial nature of your

457
00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:02,640
flight very little of your mission's

458
00:21:06,789 --> 00:21:04,559
equipment belongs to nasa and your

459
00:21:07,669 --> 00:21:06,799
spacecraft is already slated to fly

460
00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:07,679
again

461
00:21:11,909 --> 00:21:09,360
so we're up to you

462
00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:11,919
what would you like to see spacex donate

463
00:21:16,390 --> 00:21:14,240
to the national air and space museum or

464
00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:16,400
otherwise put on public display and

465
00:21:22,470 --> 00:21:18,240
might we see your sons agree to donate

466
00:21:25,990 --> 00:21:23,750
well they uh

467
00:21:27,909 --> 00:21:26,000
they might make that agreement i'm sure

468
00:21:29,990 --> 00:21:27,919
they would request something in trade i

469
00:21:31,909 --> 00:21:30,000
don't know at least a opportunity to go

470
00:21:33,909 --> 00:21:31,919
see where tremor's a new home would

471
00:21:36,149 --> 00:21:33,919
actually be i think there's a lot of

472
00:21:37,590 --> 00:21:36,159
tremors out there as well at this point

473
00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:37,600
and so uh

474
00:21:40,390 --> 00:21:38,720
i think that

475
00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:40,400
it could be that the marketplace is

476
00:21:44,789 --> 00:21:42,880
saturated with tremors

477
00:21:46,070 --> 00:21:44,799
as far as what i'd like to see donated

478
00:21:47,990 --> 00:21:46,080
you know i still think there's an

479
00:21:50,149 --> 00:21:48,000
opportunity for the history to play out

480
00:21:52,630 --> 00:21:50,159
and this capsule to still end up in the

481
00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:52,640
smithsonian you know it can be used and

482
00:21:57,750 --> 00:21:55,120
and reused and then find that permanent

483
00:21:59,750 --> 00:21:57,760
home spacex has done a wonderful job if

484
00:22:01,750 --> 00:21:59,760
you if you've ever visited or seen

485
00:22:04,470 --> 00:22:01,760
pictures inside the facility there in

486
00:22:05,909 --> 00:22:04,480
hawthorne they do have a hardware that

487
00:22:07,990 --> 00:22:05,919
they've flown or hardware that they've

488
00:22:09,270 --> 00:22:08,000
tested and managed to put on public

489
00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:09,280
display

490
00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:12,240
right here we do have a here in houston

491
00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:14,320
at the space center houston they do have

492
00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:17,200
a first stage now that uh was used and

493
00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:18,960
it's it's nice to have that in full

494
00:22:23,750 --> 00:22:21,840
public view and i'm sure and and

495
00:22:25,590 --> 00:22:23,760
confident that they're going to share

496
00:22:27,270 --> 00:22:25,600
pieces of the hardware with the public

497
00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:27,280
at large you know if you if you go out

498
00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:29,520
to hawthorne there's a first stage uh

499
00:22:34,070 --> 00:22:31,760
sitting right there on the corner of the

500
00:22:35,669 --> 00:22:34,080
the the property line there and it's

501
00:22:37,590 --> 00:22:35,679
just awesome for people to see that

502
00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:37,600
hardware and be able to you know

503
00:22:41,669 --> 00:22:39,440
recognize it as as hardware that was

504
00:22:43,270 --> 00:22:41,679
used for for space missions and uh you

505
00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:43,280
know take a picture next to it and and

506
00:22:47,510 --> 00:22:45,440
be a part of it and so i know they'll do

507
00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:47,520
it and if it was up to me i think all

508
00:22:51,990 --> 00:22:50,000
this uh this hardware has a home

509
00:22:55,029 --> 00:22:52,000
someplace in the future when it's used

510
00:22:56,310 --> 00:22:55,039
up it's just not used up yet

511
00:22:58,549 --> 00:22:56,320
thank you we're not going to switch to

512
00:23:00,149 --> 00:22:58,559
social media for just a second first of

513
00:23:01,909 --> 00:23:00,159
all you have folks from all over the

514
00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:01,919
world on twitter and facebook saying

515
00:23:06,950 --> 00:23:04,720
hello and congratulations brazil england

516
00:23:08,710 --> 00:23:06,960
canada argentina the netherlands all

517
00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:08,720
over the u.s just to name a few but this

518
00:23:12,549 --> 00:23:10,640
seems to be a common theme this one's

519
00:23:16,149 --> 00:23:12,559
from shanika

520
00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:17,990
well i think i think we're probably

521
00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:21,600
gonna go along the lines of

522
00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:24,880
i believe it's the nhl um where the team

523
00:23:29,430 --> 00:23:27,360
that wins the stanley cup if you're

524
00:23:32,149 --> 00:23:29,440
familiar with that um

525
00:23:34,390 --> 00:23:32,159
each member of the team gets to gets to

526
00:23:36,070 --> 00:23:34,400
have the stanley cup for a day or two

527
00:23:37,830 --> 00:23:36,080
and i think we'll probably work out

528
00:23:39,350 --> 00:23:37,840
something along those lines where we

529
00:23:41,990 --> 00:23:39,360
just have a

530
00:23:43,990 --> 00:23:42,000
you know he spends some time at bob's

531
00:23:45,669 --> 00:23:44,000
place and then he spends some time at

532
00:23:47,510 --> 00:23:45,679
our place and you know i think that's

533
00:23:49,590 --> 00:23:47,520
fair and then i think

534
00:23:51,350 --> 00:23:49,600
at some point obviously the boys will

535
00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:51,360
you know they're going to grow up and

536
00:23:56,070 --> 00:23:53,520
potentially outgrow tremor and you know

537
00:23:58,310 --> 00:23:56,080
we'll figure out a good a good place for

538
00:24:00,390 --> 00:23:58,320
for tremor as well just like hopefully

539
00:24:01,909 --> 00:24:00,400
with the endeavor and our suits and

540
00:24:03,909 --> 00:24:01,919
anything else that was associated with

541
00:24:06,630 --> 00:24:03,919
this mission it's just it's just a neat

542
00:24:08,870 --> 00:24:06,640
memory for bob and i as fathers uh you

543
00:24:11,669 --> 00:24:08,880
know to share uh this type of thing with

544
00:24:13,669 --> 00:24:11,679
our sons and and uh we're just thankful

545
00:24:15,269 --> 00:24:13,679
that we were allowed to to take tremor

546
00:24:16,149 --> 00:24:15,279
with us and uh

547
00:24:18,789 --> 00:24:16,159
and it's

548
00:24:21,510 --> 00:24:18,799
frankly just amazing to see the

549
00:24:23,110 --> 00:24:21,520
the response to tremor and and how how

550
00:24:24,789 --> 00:24:23,120
much people enjoyed that part of the

551
00:24:26,710 --> 00:24:24,799
mission uh along with some of the other

552
00:24:28,470 --> 00:24:26,720
things so we really appreciate i

553
00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:28,480
appreciate that and thank and thank

554
00:24:32,549 --> 00:24:30,480
folks for understanding you know that it

555
00:24:34,549 --> 00:24:32,559
was important to us

556
00:24:36,950 --> 00:24:34,559
we'll take one more ask nasa question

557
00:24:38,789 --> 00:24:36,960
this one from leanne on facebook asking

558
00:24:40,710 --> 00:24:38,799
what's the first thing you ate after

559
00:24:42,149 --> 00:24:40,720
returning to earth

560
00:24:44,070 --> 00:24:42,159
i think for both of us the first thing

561
00:24:46,149 --> 00:24:44,080
we ate was the pizza that they had

562
00:24:49,029 --> 00:24:46,159
available on the jet that brought us

563
00:24:50,950 --> 00:24:49,039
back into houston so we had a good pizza

564
00:24:52,549 --> 00:24:50,960
we you know we've done a lot of travel

565
00:24:54,470 --> 00:24:52,559
on the

566
00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:54,480
aircraft operation

567
00:24:59,110 --> 00:24:56,640
folks here at johnson space center's

568
00:25:01,990 --> 00:24:59,120
aircraft over the last 20 years frankly

569
00:25:05,350 --> 00:25:02,000
whether it was t-38s or as we responded

570
00:25:06,950 --> 00:25:05,360
to covid and use the larger airplanes to

571
00:25:08,470 --> 00:25:06,960
help us get from place to place from a

572
00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:08,480
training perspective and they always

573
00:25:12,470 --> 00:25:10,400
have a good plan for taking care of the

574
00:25:14,470 --> 00:25:12,480
crews that are on board and

575
00:25:16,710 --> 00:25:14,480
our landing day was no different than

576
00:25:19,190 --> 00:25:16,720
the other days they had us all hooked up

577
00:25:22,310 --> 00:25:19,200
and set up and uh the pizza was waiting

578
00:25:24,070 --> 00:25:22,320
when we made it on board

579
00:25:26,870 --> 00:25:24,080
thank you we'll now return to the phone

580
00:25:29,590 --> 00:25:26,880
bridge starting with eric berger from rs

581
00:25:31,350 --> 00:25:29,600
technica

582
00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:31,360
hi guys i want to congratulate you on

583
00:25:35,190 --> 00:25:33,520
your your excellent timing houston in

584
00:25:38,950 --> 00:25:35,200
august is lovely

585
00:25:40,470 --> 00:25:38,960
um if i may ask a non-tremor question uh

586
00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:40,480
were there any surprises during the

587
00:25:44,470 --> 00:25:42,480
mission it all looked so smooth from the

588
00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:44,480
launch the landing you know to us

589
00:25:49,029 --> 00:25:46,080
watching on the ground

590
00:25:51,110 --> 00:25:49,039
and it was it really that perfect like

591
00:25:52,710 --> 00:25:51,120
did the vehicle perform that well or was

592
00:25:54,549 --> 00:25:52,720
there anything that happened

593
00:25:57,110 --> 00:25:54,559
like maybe you went in the capsule on

594
00:25:58,549 --> 00:25:57,120
orbit there was a funny odor or

595
00:26:00,149 --> 00:25:58,559
you know something that alarmed you

596
00:26:03,669 --> 00:26:00,159
during the two months you're up there or

597
00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:03,679
or was it all just that smooth thank you

598
00:26:08,390 --> 00:26:06,720
yeah frankly the the dm2 mission part of

599
00:26:11,590 --> 00:26:08,400
it uh

600
00:26:14,390 --> 00:26:11,600
as well as the uh docked iss mission

601
00:26:17,590 --> 00:26:14,400
that we participated in expedition 63

602
00:26:18,549 --> 00:26:17,600
but certainly the dm2 mission um

603
00:26:21,909 --> 00:26:18,559
i

604
00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:21,919
personally expected there to be more

605
00:26:25,510 --> 00:26:23,520
you know certainly not

606
00:26:27,350 --> 00:26:25,520
issues with the vehicle but some

607
00:26:29,430 --> 00:26:27,360
challenges or some things that were

608
00:26:30,870 --> 00:26:29,440
maybe not quite what we expected i mean

609
00:26:33,190 --> 00:26:30,880
even on our shuttle flights we had

610
00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:33,200
things that happened on both of mine and

611
00:26:36,710 --> 00:26:34,960
i know you know bob and i have talked a

612
00:26:38,870 --> 00:26:36,720
lot about his missions as well there

613
00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:38,880
were things that happened that that

614
00:26:44,710 --> 00:26:42,480
were right out of a simulator uh

615
00:26:46,149 --> 00:26:44,720
event and and something that you

616
00:26:48,390 --> 00:26:46,159
certainly wouldn't have expected in a

617
00:26:51,190 --> 00:26:48,400
real flight but but i my credit once

618
00:26:52,710 --> 00:26:51,200
again is to the the folks at spacex the

619
00:26:54,149 --> 00:26:52,720
production folks the people that put

620
00:26:55,510 --> 00:26:54,159
endeavor together

621
00:26:57,750 --> 00:26:55,520
and then

622
00:26:59,669 --> 00:26:57,760
certainly our training folks

623
00:27:01,350 --> 00:26:59,679
the mission went just like the

624
00:27:02,870 --> 00:27:01,360
simulators and

625
00:27:04,950 --> 00:27:02,880
and i

626
00:27:07,190 --> 00:27:04,960
honestly from start to finish all the

627
00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:07,200
way there was really no surprises and i

628
00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:08,480
think for me

629
00:27:14,149 --> 00:27:11,840
personally i expected the entry to

630
00:27:16,310 --> 00:27:14,159
diverge somewhat by what we saw in the

631
00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:16,320
simulator and what i mean by that is

632
00:27:21,350 --> 00:27:19,440
as as a capsule gets in the thicker air

633
00:27:23,430 --> 00:27:21,360
the atmosphere so somewhere around 20k

634
00:27:25,750 --> 00:27:23,440
down to maybe 10k

635
00:27:28,389 --> 00:27:25,760
just prior to the drogues with the

636
00:27:30,389 --> 00:27:28,399
with dragon i expected there to be some

637
00:27:32,630 --> 00:27:30,399
divergence in attitude control because

638
00:27:35,029 --> 00:27:32,640
it's it's a real tough problem for

639
00:27:38,230 --> 00:27:35,039
the ship as it gets into the thicker air

640
00:27:41,110 --> 00:27:38,240
to maintain perfect attitude and control

641
00:27:43,029 --> 00:27:41,120
and at some point and the design of this

642
00:27:44,549 --> 00:27:43,039
vehicle is for the drugs to come out

643
00:27:47,269 --> 00:27:44,559
potentially a little bit earlier than

644
00:27:48,950 --> 00:27:47,279
they normally would come out to kind of

645
00:27:52,149 --> 00:27:48,960
right the vehicle

646
00:27:54,549 --> 00:27:52,159
i i fully expected that to happen and it

647
00:27:57,269 --> 00:27:54,559
did not the vehicle was rock solid right

648
00:28:00,870 --> 00:27:57,279
up until the nominal drogue deploy

649
00:28:02,870 --> 00:28:00,880
uh altitude and and as bob described you

650
00:28:04,549 --> 00:28:02,880
could feel it you knew exactly you felt

651
00:28:05,510 --> 00:28:04,559
the d cell you knew the drugs both

652
00:28:07,110 --> 00:28:05,520
worked

653
00:28:08,789 --> 00:28:07,120
and then it was the same with the mains

654
00:28:10,310 --> 00:28:08,799
we felt the different stages of this

655
00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:10,320
reef and

656
00:28:13,590 --> 00:28:11,760
right to the

657
00:28:15,029 --> 00:28:13,600
impact in the water it was

658
00:28:17,830 --> 00:28:15,039
you know we kind of had a feeling it

659
00:28:20,870 --> 00:28:17,840
would be not as much as a soyuz

660
00:28:23,510 --> 00:28:20,880
landing as it was described to us but

661
00:28:25,510 --> 00:28:23,520
was going to be a pretty firm splashdown

662
00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:25,520
and then you know how we bobbed even how

663
00:28:28,310 --> 00:28:26,880
we bobbed in the water and how the

664
00:28:31,269 --> 00:28:28,320
vehicle

665
00:28:33,750 --> 00:28:31,279
sat in the water so

666
00:28:35,669 --> 00:28:33,760
my compliments to spacex and the

667
00:28:37,990 --> 00:28:35,679
commercial crew program the vehicle

668
00:28:39,269 --> 00:28:38,000
performed exactly how it was supposed to

669
00:28:41,190 --> 00:28:39,279
and uh

670
00:28:43,430 --> 00:28:41,200
you feel really good about

671
00:28:45,190 --> 00:28:43,440
crew one and and and what they should

672
00:28:48,070 --> 00:28:45,200
expect and what they should see when

673
00:28:50,070 --> 00:28:48,080
they fly their mission

674
00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:50,080
next is chris davenport from the

675
00:28:54,870 --> 00:28:52,640
washington post

676
00:28:57,990 --> 00:28:54,880
oh hey guys welcome back uh good to see

677
00:28:59,909 --> 00:28:58,000
you um two quick ones uh just looking

678
00:29:02,710 --> 00:28:59,919
for maybe bob a description of what it

679
00:29:05,190 --> 00:29:02,720
was like inside dragon when the heat was

680
00:29:07,669 --> 00:29:05,200
building that plasma was building uh

681
00:29:09,430 --> 00:29:07,679
which were cool what the view was like

682
00:29:11,510 --> 00:29:09,440
and then maybe uh doug if you could talk

683
00:29:15,110 --> 00:29:11,520
about how many calls you made on the sat

684
00:29:16,710 --> 00:29:15,120
phone and who you called thanks

685
00:29:18,710 --> 00:29:16,720
you know as as we came through the

686
00:29:21,350 --> 00:29:18,720
atmosphere i think we had a pretty good

687
00:29:23,350 --> 00:29:21,360
view out the window until the g started

688
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:23,360
building at least for me my focus kind

689
00:29:27,430 --> 00:29:25,440
of shifted towards the display content

690
00:29:29,510 --> 00:29:27,440
and that the windows are down by our

691
00:29:32,149 --> 00:29:29,520
feet and so being able to look at those

692
00:29:34,389 --> 00:29:32,159
requires kind of head motion and and and

693
00:29:35,990 --> 00:29:34,399
pushing your body around and so just

694
00:29:37,430 --> 00:29:36,000
didn't seem like the smartest thing to

695
00:29:39,350 --> 00:29:37,440
do you know as the vehicle was

696
00:29:41,190 --> 00:29:39,360
maneuvering and starting to put g's on

697
00:29:42,950 --> 00:29:41,200
to be uh turning our heads and trying to

698
00:29:44,549 --> 00:29:42,960
move around in the seats uh at that

699
00:29:47,110 --> 00:29:44,559
point we were trying to make sure that

700
00:29:49,110 --> 00:29:47,120
we were good and strapped in i do feel

701
00:29:50,070 --> 00:29:49,120
like i i felt some warming of the

702
00:29:52,630 --> 00:29:50,080
capsule

703
00:29:54,070 --> 00:29:52,640
on the inside and so the real notice was

704
00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:54,080
that when i did get a chance once the

705
00:29:57,029 --> 00:29:55,760
g's had come down to look out those

706
00:29:59,110 --> 00:29:57,039
windows again you know they were

707
00:30:01,430 --> 00:29:59,120
obscured as doug described earlier and

708
00:30:03,510 --> 00:30:01,440
so we kind of saw the clouds racing by

709
00:30:05,590 --> 00:30:03,520
and then the g-load started to build up

710
00:30:07,269 --> 00:30:05,600
and we focused on you know monitoring

711
00:30:08,870 --> 00:30:07,279
the vehicle and

712
00:30:10,950 --> 00:30:08,880
paying attention to those small bobbles

713
00:30:12,630 --> 00:30:10,960
that we could feel as it uh controlled

714
00:30:13,990 --> 00:30:12,640
the attitude and then

715
00:30:15,590 --> 00:30:14,000
there was not much to see out the

716
00:30:17,990 --> 00:30:15,600
windows by the time we had another

717
00:30:20,149 --> 00:30:18,000
chance to do it so

718
00:30:22,230 --> 00:30:20,159
yeah i think i'll just add i had an

719
00:30:24,710 --> 00:30:22,240
entry that was a night entry and then a

720
00:30:26,950 --> 00:30:24,720
day entry and it's it's tough with

721
00:30:28,950 --> 00:30:26,960
shuttle even to see the plasma in the

722
00:30:31,750 --> 00:30:28,960
daytime it's almost just this really

723
00:30:33,190 --> 00:30:31,760
thin pinkish hue that you could in the

724
00:30:35,990 --> 00:30:33,200
in the front seats of the shuttle you

725
00:30:37,990 --> 00:30:36,000
could pick up just very it was it was

726
00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:38,000
very difficult to see so

727
00:30:41,750 --> 00:30:39,760
i certainly didn't expect with a full

728
00:30:43,350 --> 00:30:41,760
daytime entry like we had with dragon

729
00:30:45,269 --> 00:30:43,360
and then as bob described that the

730
00:30:46,710 --> 00:30:45,279
position of the windows relative to

731
00:30:49,669 --> 00:30:46,720
where we sit

732
00:30:51,190 --> 00:30:49,679
until the seats adjust for the uh

733
00:30:53,590 --> 00:30:51,200
the uh

734
00:30:55,269 --> 00:30:53,600
basically to get our heads more vertical

735
00:30:57,190 --> 00:30:55,279
than our feet

736
00:30:59,029 --> 00:30:57,200
after we're under parachutes uh you

737
00:31:00,789 --> 00:30:59,039
really have to work pretty hard to just

738
00:31:02,149 --> 00:31:00,799
see out the windows and as far as the

739
00:31:03,029 --> 00:31:02,159
sapphone

740
00:31:05,669 --> 00:31:03,039
um

741
00:31:07,269 --> 00:31:05,679
yeah that that probably was a

742
00:31:09,509 --> 00:31:07,279
pretty funny to hear that you have

743
00:31:13,430 --> 00:31:09,519
astronauts colin whoever we can call but

744
00:31:15,350 --> 00:31:13,440
uh there there was a a real reason for

745
00:31:17,830 --> 00:31:15,360
it um you know

746
00:31:20,549 --> 00:31:17,840
nick when he had his uh

747
00:31:22,470 --> 00:31:20,559
abort on board soyuz they they also have

748
00:31:24,070 --> 00:31:22,480
a a phone where they're able to call

749
00:31:25,909 --> 00:31:24,080
folks but some of the numbers either

750
00:31:28,230 --> 00:31:25,919
weren't correct or weren't loaded

751
00:31:30,630 --> 00:31:28,240
and as i think most people know in this

752
00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:30,640
day and age we know very few phone

753
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:32,320
numbers by heart like we used to know

754
00:31:36,549 --> 00:31:34,320
many years ago and so

755
00:31:38,950 --> 00:31:36,559
we wanted to

756
00:31:40,789 --> 00:31:38,960
get a test objective uh out of the way

757
00:31:43,430 --> 00:31:40,799
which was to call the uh

758
00:31:46,149 --> 00:31:43,440
the core uh station

759
00:31:47,909 --> 00:31:46,159
at hawthorne and when we called to say

760
00:31:50,389 --> 00:31:47,919
hey we would like to do that they said

761
00:31:52,470 --> 00:31:50,399
stand by and so we decided we would

762
00:31:54,230 --> 00:31:52,480
exercise our uh

763
00:31:55,990 --> 00:31:54,240
judgment and use the phone to call some

764
00:31:58,470 --> 00:31:56,000
other folks so we called anthony i think

765
00:32:01,190 --> 00:31:58,480
at the at the capcom console here at the

766
00:32:02,710 --> 00:32:01,200
flight director console here and uh you

767
00:32:03,990 --> 00:32:02,720
know hi this is bob and doug we're in

768
00:32:07,029 --> 00:32:04,000
the ocean

769
00:32:08,470 --> 00:32:07,039
and then uh we also called our uh our

770
00:32:11,029 --> 00:32:08,480
wives who happened to be together i

771
00:32:13,110 --> 00:32:11,039
think they were here at mission control

772
00:32:14,789 --> 00:32:13,120
and of course they were excited and and

773
00:32:16,470 --> 00:32:14,799
as all folks know

774
00:32:18,630 --> 00:32:16,480
um that have gone through this as a

775
00:32:21,029 --> 00:32:18,640
family member you're kind of helpless

776
00:32:23,430 --> 00:32:21,039
uh until you hear the voice of your of

777
00:32:25,430 --> 00:32:23,440
your loved one on the other end and this

778
00:32:27,750 --> 00:32:25,440
was a great chance to reassure them that

779
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:27,760
we were in the water we were okay

780
00:32:31,509 --> 00:32:30,000
we were feeling good and then and then

781
00:32:34,070 --> 00:32:31,519
at that point we were still waiting on

782
00:32:35,909 --> 00:32:34,080
spacex and so we just decided to call a

783
00:32:37,669 --> 00:32:35,919
few other people that we knew their

784
00:32:40,149 --> 00:32:37,679
phone numbers too we got a hold of a few

785
00:32:41,750 --> 00:32:40,159
but if anybody's ever used a sap phone

786
00:32:43,909 --> 00:32:41,760
sometimes they work and sometimes they

787
00:32:45,909 --> 00:32:43,919
don't connect so it was but it was a

788
00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:45,919
very successful test and we're confident

789
00:32:51,990 --> 00:32:48,000
that future crews if they need it it's a

790
00:32:54,389 --> 00:32:52,000
good uh a good option for communication

791
00:32:58,230 --> 00:32:54,399
next is stephen clark from space flight

792
00:33:02,549 --> 00:33:00,710
hi guys congratulations on a

793
00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:02,559
successful mission and welcome back to

794
00:33:07,029 --> 00:33:04,559
earth thanks for taking my question

795
00:33:08,789 --> 00:33:07,039
um just wanted to you know this

796
00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:08,799
by all accounts was a very successful

797
00:33:12,950 --> 00:33:10,880
test flight um

798
00:33:14,630 --> 00:33:12,960
just based on your experiences can i get

799
00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:14,640
one of you to comment on if you think

800
00:33:18,950 --> 00:33:16,880
crew dragon is ready to go for

801
00:33:21,669 --> 00:33:18,960
rotation missions to the iss

802
00:33:23,190 --> 00:33:21,679
with your successful return thanks

803
00:33:25,430 --> 00:33:23,200
you know i think both of us are in

804
00:33:26,950 --> 00:33:25,440
agreement uh no questions that the crew

805
00:33:28,630 --> 00:33:26,960
dragon once they finish the

806
00:33:31,190 --> 00:33:28,640
certification process you know they do

807
00:33:33,590 --> 00:33:31,200
need to look at the data from our entry

808
00:33:36,230 --> 00:33:33,600
you know it's not just the the end users

809
00:33:38,310 --> 00:33:36,240
anecdotes of uh how well it performed

810
00:33:40,549 --> 00:33:38,320
they will do a very thorough review both

811
00:33:42,230 --> 00:33:40,559
on the spacex side of the nasa side to

812
00:33:44,310 --> 00:33:42,240
make sure that they're comfortable but

813
00:33:46,149 --> 00:33:44,320
from a crew perspective

814
00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:46,159
i think that it's a definitely ready to

815
00:33:50,310 --> 00:33:47,760
go there are things that can be improved

816
00:33:51,750 --> 00:33:50,320
just like even with the final flight of

817
00:33:52,789 --> 00:33:51,760
the space shuttle i know doug will tell

818
00:33:54,070 --> 00:33:52,799
you that there are things that could

819
00:33:57,110 --> 00:33:54,080
have been improved or would have been

820
00:33:58,470 --> 00:33:57,120
improved if we flew 136 and so there'll

821
00:34:00,549 --> 00:33:58,480
be some things that we'll have some

822
00:34:01,909 --> 00:34:00,559
ideas about how we could make better to

823
00:34:03,830 --> 00:34:01,919
make things a little bit more

824
00:34:05,669 --> 00:34:03,840
comfortable or a little bit more

825
00:34:07,909 --> 00:34:05,679
efficient inside the vehicle for those

826
00:34:09,990 --> 00:34:07,919
crews but from a crew perspective i

827
00:34:12,069 --> 00:34:10,000
think we're we're perfectly comfortable

828
00:34:14,230 --> 00:34:12,079
saying that uh crew one is ready when

829
00:34:15,589 --> 00:34:14,240
they finish the uh the engineering and

830
00:34:17,829 --> 00:34:15,599
uh analysis associated with

831
00:34:19,430 --> 00:34:17,839
certification one thing i would just

832
00:34:20,389 --> 00:34:19,440
like to add about that you know bob and

833
00:34:22,389 --> 00:34:20,399
i talked

834
00:34:25,190 --> 00:34:22,399
many times over the last couple years

835
00:34:27,669 --> 00:34:25,200
about the duration of the flight and for

836
00:34:29,510 --> 00:34:27,679
a long part of that until just

837
00:34:30,790 --> 00:34:29,520
you know these essentially the beginning

838
00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:30,800
of this year

839
00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:33,040
you know it was going to be

840
00:34:38,149 --> 00:34:35,200
the same length as the dm1 flight so

841
00:34:40,230 --> 00:34:38,159
just a few days in space and i think

842
00:34:41,909 --> 00:34:40,240
i personally feel a lot better even

843
00:34:43,750 --> 00:34:41,919
though there were some challenges

844
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:43,760
dealing with the you know the duration

845
00:34:47,349 --> 00:34:45,760
of the flight and when when all that

846
00:34:50,550 --> 00:34:47,359
would come together

847
00:34:52,389 --> 00:34:50,560
i certainly feel much better from from

848
00:34:55,030 --> 00:34:52,399
the crew one perspective and and

849
00:34:57,829 --> 00:34:55,040
subsequent flights of having dragon

850
00:34:59,589 --> 00:34:57,839
docked to station for two months

851
00:35:00,630 --> 00:34:59,599
is a much better

852
00:35:02,630 --> 00:35:00,640
outcome

853
00:35:04,870 --> 00:35:02,640
for me then if we'd just been up there a

854
00:35:07,190 --> 00:35:04,880
few days if you're asking the crew one

855
00:35:09,910 --> 00:35:07,200
folks to be up there for a full up

856
00:35:12,150 --> 00:35:09,920
six month ish type duration

857
00:35:15,750 --> 00:35:12,160
i think they should have a lot more

858
00:35:18,150 --> 00:35:15,760
confidence that the vehicle does fine

859
00:35:20,069 --> 00:35:18,160
in the quiescent mode doctor station and

860
00:35:21,990 --> 00:35:20,079
there and there wasn't anything that

861
00:35:23,510 --> 00:35:22,000
maybe wouldn't have been uncovered had

862
00:35:25,829 --> 00:35:23,520
we just been up there for just a few

863
00:35:28,150 --> 00:35:25,839
days so i thought that was a much better

864
00:35:32,230 --> 00:35:28,160
outcome

865
00:35:34,150 --> 00:35:32,240
we have gina cinceri from abc news

866
00:35:38,230 --> 00:35:34,160
what mission would be on the books for

867
00:35:42,230 --> 00:35:39,670
at least for me i think in the short

868
00:35:44,630 --> 00:35:42,240
term is i transition to a support role

869
00:35:46,710 --> 00:35:44,640
as you know my wife is assigned to a a

870
00:35:49,270 --> 00:35:46,720
spacex mission and we have a young son

871
00:35:50,870 --> 00:35:49,280
and so i'll uh definitely be focused on

872
00:35:53,190 --> 00:35:50,880
making sure that her missions as

873
00:35:55,510 --> 00:35:53,200
successful as possible and supporting

874
00:35:57,510 --> 00:35:55,520
her just as she did for me over the last

875
00:35:59,190 --> 00:35:57,520
five years with the uncertainty in our

876
00:36:00,630 --> 00:35:59,200
launch dates and uncertainty in our

877
00:36:02,950 --> 00:36:00,640
return dates

878
00:36:04,390 --> 00:36:02,960
it's it's definitely her turn to to

879
00:36:06,470 --> 00:36:04,400
focus on getting her mission

880
00:36:07,910 --> 00:36:06,480
accomplished while i take care of

881
00:36:11,750 --> 00:36:07,920
the things that need to be taken care of

882
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,150
next is elizabeth howell from space.com

883
00:36:19,510 --> 00:36:18,069
welcome home and i wanted to know what

884
00:36:21,109 --> 00:36:19,520
kind of lessons learned or kind of

885
00:36:23,829 --> 00:36:21,119
advice that you would be giving to the

886
00:36:25,430 --> 00:36:23,839
crew one when they get ready to go

887
00:36:28,069 --> 00:36:25,440
that's a great question and you know we

888
00:36:30,069 --> 00:36:28,079
have a tag up with those guys i believe

889
00:36:31,990 --> 00:36:30,079
early next week and i think we've

890
00:36:33,030 --> 00:36:32,000
mentioned before that we we talked to

891
00:36:35,030 --> 00:36:33,040
them

892
00:36:37,109 --> 00:36:35,040
shortly after launch and once we were

893
00:36:40,710 --> 00:36:37,119
docked just to kind of while it was all

894
00:36:42,710 --> 00:36:40,720
fresh in our memories a a data

895
00:36:45,910 --> 00:36:42,720
relay to all the things that we we

896
00:36:48,390 --> 00:36:45,920
noticed or saw sounds and things that

897
00:36:50,870 --> 00:36:48,400
really can't be emulated very well in a

898
00:36:52,950 --> 00:36:50,880
simulator and things that would

899
00:36:55,910 --> 00:36:52,960
that would trigger you know any of the

900
00:36:57,349 --> 00:36:55,920
other uh training objectives that

901
00:36:59,670 --> 00:36:57,359
they're going through right now as they

902
00:37:00,550 --> 00:36:59,680
wrap up their training and so

903
00:37:02,230 --> 00:37:00,560
i think

904
00:37:04,470 --> 00:37:02,240
lessons learned you know there are

905
00:37:06,790 --> 00:37:04,480
always lessons learned um you know

906
00:37:08,470 --> 00:37:06,800
things that that we did that maybe we

907
00:37:10,069 --> 00:37:08,480
could be more efficient about or that we

908
00:37:11,589 --> 00:37:10,079
learned or that we thought maybe would

909
00:37:14,150 --> 00:37:11,599
work one way or

910
00:37:16,470 --> 00:37:14,160
that maybe would work better for another

911
00:37:18,550 --> 00:37:16,480
um but generally speaking i think it's

912
00:37:20,790 --> 00:37:18,560
more just relating the experience and

913
00:37:24,870 --> 00:37:20,800
and and what we did in those particular

914
00:37:26,230 --> 00:37:24,880
situations and and and also trying to

915
00:37:27,990 --> 00:37:26,240
at least imagine what it would have been

916
00:37:29,910 --> 00:37:28,000
like to have four people in the vehicle

917
00:37:31,030 --> 00:37:29,920
rather than two we did some docked

918
00:37:33,349 --> 00:37:31,040
operation

919
00:37:35,510 --> 00:37:33,359
evaluations with four people and you

920
00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:35,520
know we had anatoly and chris act as the

921
00:37:40,390 --> 00:37:37,599
other two crew members and in their vast

922
00:37:42,310 --> 00:37:40,400
experience in in flying soyuz and space

923
00:37:44,069 --> 00:37:42,320
flight in general they had some great

924
00:37:46,790 --> 00:37:44,079
suggestions and we

925
00:37:48,630 --> 00:37:46,800
we at the time passed those things on uh

926
00:37:50,950 --> 00:37:48,640
in the debrief and we'll definitely talk

927
00:37:51,910 --> 00:37:50,960
to the crew one folks about that as well

928
00:37:53,589 --> 00:37:51,920
but

929
00:37:55,190 --> 00:37:53,599
yeah there's a very formal process and

930
00:37:56,470 --> 00:37:55,200
then an informal process and we'll just

931
00:37:58,630 --> 00:37:56,480
try to pass on everything that we

932
00:38:02,390 --> 00:37:58,640
learned and and what we think might work

933
00:38:07,990 --> 00:38:06,230
we have joey roulette from reuters

934
00:38:10,150 --> 00:38:08,000
yeah thanks for doing this and bob i

935
00:38:11,829 --> 00:38:10,160
really appreciated that um description

936
00:38:13,589 --> 00:38:11,839
of descending in crew dragon you gave

937
00:38:15,829 --> 00:38:13,599
earlier in the call and i was wondering

938
00:38:17,670 --> 00:38:15,839
do you think there's anything spacex can

939
00:38:19,829 --> 00:38:17,680
or should do to make

940
00:38:21,349 --> 00:38:19,839
crew dragon's descent calmer or is that

941
00:38:23,510 --> 00:38:21,359
the way it should be and is that what

942
00:38:25,750 --> 00:38:23,520
you expected thanks

943
00:38:27,270 --> 00:38:25,760
i think from a crew perspective you know

944
00:38:29,030 --> 00:38:27,280
really what's important is that you

945
00:38:30,950 --> 00:38:29,040
understand the events that the vehicle

946
00:38:32,710 --> 00:38:30,960
is going to go through and know what to

947
00:38:34,390 --> 00:38:32,720
expect and so

948
00:38:36,710 --> 00:38:34,400
the thing that i found most valuable

949
00:38:38,390 --> 00:38:36,720
having gone through that uh experience

950
00:38:40,870 --> 00:38:38,400
was uh something that the actually the

951
00:38:43,349 --> 00:38:40,880
launch team put together for us uh

952
00:38:44,150 --> 00:38:43,359
pulled together some asset video from

953
00:38:47,190 --> 00:38:44,160
both

954
00:38:49,270 --> 00:38:47,200
demo one and the uh abort test that they

955
00:38:51,829 --> 00:38:49,280
performed to show what the sounds and

956
00:38:53,750 --> 00:38:51,839
dragon were synced up with the video

957
00:38:56,069 --> 00:38:53,760
feed and so being able to watch that and

958
00:38:57,510 --> 00:38:56,079
hear the sounds and see what they

959
00:38:59,910 --> 00:38:57,520
corresponded to

960
00:39:01,910 --> 00:38:59,920
on the video from you know the outside

961
00:39:04,230 --> 00:39:01,920
tracking cameras that were in place was

962
00:39:05,670 --> 00:39:04,240
just invaluable from my perspective and

963
00:39:07,589 --> 00:39:05,680
really understanding what the vehicle

964
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:07,599
was going to be going through and be

965
00:39:12,069 --> 00:39:09,760
comfortable as as we went through it and

966
00:39:14,310 --> 00:39:12,079
monitor it appropriately and so you know

967
00:39:16,150 --> 00:39:14,320
both doug and i had confidence uh like

968
00:39:18,790 --> 00:39:16,160
we described earlier that you know the

969
00:39:20,870 --> 00:39:18,800
drugs had come out and that the briefing

970
00:39:22,710 --> 00:39:20,880
had uh happened according to schedule

971
00:39:24,790 --> 00:39:22,720
just based on being able to watch that

972
00:39:26,230 --> 00:39:24,800
video and hear the sounds and have it

973
00:39:27,750 --> 00:39:26,240
all synced up we just knew what to

974
00:39:29,670 --> 00:39:27,760
expect you know

975
00:39:31,510 --> 00:39:29,680
this maybe sounds a little bit boring

976
00:39:33,589 --> 00:39:31,520
and i'm going to get probably some flack

977
00:39:35,030 --> 00:39:33,599
from talking about a movie cliches again

978
00:39:36,470 --> 00:39:35,040
but uh you know there's a there's a

979
00:39:37,829 --> 00:39:36,480
movie groundhog day where they're

980
00:39:40,790 --> 00:39:37,839
sequencing through and everything is

981
00:39:43,910 --> 00:39:40,800
predictable and and for dynamic events

982
00:39:46,630 --> 00:39:43,920
like a a space flight for ascent and for

983
00:39:48,950 --> 00:39:46,640
entry it really is invaluable as you try

984
00:39:51,109 --> 00:39:48,960
to control your body and and come

985
00:39:53,829 --> 00:39:51,119
through that environment whether it's a

986
00:39:55,829 --> 00:39:53,839
g-loading or it's the dynamics of a

987
00:39:57,990 --> 00:39:55,839
pitch yawn roll moving you around inside

988
00:40:00,310 --> 00:39:58,000
the vehicle knowing what to expect

989
00:40:02,069 --> 00:40:00,320
really sets you up for success to work

990
00:40:04,390 --> 00:40:02,079
your way through it and do anything that

991
00:40:06,470 --> 00:40:04,400
you might need to do in those dynamic

992
00:40:08,150 --> 00:40:06,480
situations and i think that that video

993
00:40:10,390 --> 00:40:08,160
that the spacex team put together was

994
00:40:12,470 --> 00:40:10,400
just wonderful and uh i watched it again

995
00:40:13,589 --> 00:40:12,480
on orbit and before we came home and and

996
00:40:15,190 --> 00:40:13,599
i know

997
00:40:17,829 --> 00:40:15,200
that'll be in our list of things that we

998
00:40:19,349 --> 00:40:17,839
recommend to the crew one guys

999
00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:19,359
if they haven't already watched it that

1000
00:40:22,790 --> 00:40:20,560
that's something that they should uh

1001
00:40:26,470 --> 00:40:22,800
kind of commit to memory and consider

1002
00:40:32,470 --> 00:40:28,870
next is morgan mcfaul from business

1003
00:40:35,910 --> 00:40:34,069
hi bob and doug welcome home and thanks

1004
00:40:37,349 --> 00:40:35,920
so much for taking my question i'm

1005
00:40:39,109 --> 00:40:37,359
wondering what you would most like to

1006
00:40:41,030 --> 00:40:39,119
see for the partnership between nasa and

1007
00:40:42,790 --> 00:40:41,040
spacex going forward and what are you

1008
00:40:45,510 --> 00:40:42,800
most excited about in this new era of

1009
00:40:48,790 --> 00:40:45,520
human space flight thank you

1010
00:40:51,030 --> 00:40:48,800
well it's it's neat to see spacex is

1011
00:40:53,670 --> 00:40:51,040
in the competition to build the lunar

1012
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:53,680
lander with two other companies

1013
00:40:58,550 --> 00:40:56,640
and uh we we've had as an agency we've

1014
00:40:59,910 --> 00:40:58,560
had a wonderful partnership with spacex

1015
00:41:01,589 --> 00:40:59,920
you know from commercial cargo to

1016
00:41:02,470 --> 00:41:01,599
commercial crew and they just continue

1017
00:41:09,109 --> 00:41:02,480
to

1018
00:41:10,870 --> 00:41:09,119
and it it's it's been a great

1019
00:41:13,510 --> 00:41:10,880
relationship it's been very beneficial

1020
00:41:16,309 --> 00:41:13,520
for both spacex and for nasa

1021
00:41:17,589 --> 00:41:16,319
and and this once again the success of

1022
00:41:19,349 --> 00:41:17,599
dm2

1023
00:41:21,990 --> 00:41:19,359
proves that it should be something that

1024
00:41:25,349 --> 00:41:22,000
we should continue and i'm excited

1025
00:41:29,030 --> 00:41:25,359
uh to see that happen it was it was a it

1026
00:41:31,510 --> 00:41:29,040
was a lot of work to to get from where

1027
00:41:33,510 --> 00:41:31,520
we started five years ago to now but

1028
00:41:36,230 --> 00:41:33,520
it's just they're wonderful company to

1029
00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:36,240
work with and they have some incredibly

1030
00:41:38,790 --> 00:41:37,839
talented people

1031
00:41:41,430 --> 00:41:38,800
um

1032
00:41:43,750 --> 00:41:41,440
and and i think there there's plenty to

1033
00:41:45,829 --> 00:41:43,760
come from from the relationship that

1034
00:41:48,069 --> 00:41:45,839
nasa and spacex have

1035
00:41:49,829 --> 00:41:48,079
yeah from my perspective it really is

1036
00:41:51,589 --> 00:41:49,839
critical that we continue to try to

1037
00:41:53,829 --> 00:41:51,599
build on that relationship that doug's

1038
00:41:55,430 --> 00:41:53,839
referred to you know it won't be

1039
00:41:57,430 --> 00:41:55,440
appropriate if we take the next step

1040
00:42:00,069 --> 00:41:57,440
which is to restart with a different

1041
00:42:01,349 --> 00:42:00,079
nasa team and a different spacex team we

1042
00:42:03,910 --> 00:42:01,359
really need to leverage those

1043
00:42:05,430 --> 00:42:03,920
relationships and continue with all the

1044
00:42:07,510 --> 00:42:05,440
you know the five years of experience

1045
00:42:09,829 --> 00:42:07,520
that we have of figuring out the things

1046
00:42:12,470 --> 00:42:09,839
that nasa can best share with spacex to

1047
00:42:14,069 --> 00:42:12,480
make them as successful as quickly as

1048
00:42:16,630 --> 00:42:14,079
possible and you know that applies to

1049
00:42:18,470 --> 00:42:16,640
all the partnerships that nasa sets up

1050
00:42:20,550 --> 00:42:18,480
is figuring out the best way to

1051
00:42:22,230 --> 00:42:20,560
communicate and share information is how

1052
00:42:25,430 --> 00:42:22,240
we're going to all cooperate to get to

1053
00:42:27,750 --> 00:42:25,440
our end objective and so i just uh i'm

1054
00:42:29,750 --> 00:42:27,760
really excited as we go forward that the

1055
00:42:31,270 --> 00:42:29,760
relationships and the work that's uh the

1056
00:42:33,349 --> 00:42:31,280
groundwork that's in place is going to

1057
00:42:35,990 --> 00:42:33,359
be leveraged to accomplish even more

1058
00:42:38,150 --> 00:42:36,000
great things in the future

1059
00:42:41,190 --> 00:42:38,160
we'll take one from mark caro from

1060
00:42:45,109 --> 00:42:43,589
wondering what the primary question

1061
00:42:46,390 --> 00:42:45,119
you're getting from your astronaut

1062
00:42:48,069 --> 00:42:46,400
colleagues

1063
00:42:50,309 --> 00:42:48,079
isn't what you're telling them about the

1064
00:42:51,990 --> 00:42:50,319
experience

1065
00:42:55,430 --> 00:42:52,000
actually we we haven't had a ton of

1066
00:42:56,870 --> 00:42:55,440
interaction with anybody given that

1067
00:42:59,190 --> 00:42:56,880
you know when you get back from space

1068
00:43:01,190 --> 00:42:59,200
you have a pretty

1069
00:43:03,670 --> 00:43:01,200
compromised immune system to some degree

1070
00:43:06,630 --> 00:43:03,680
so we're taking every precaution that we

1071
00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:06,640
can to try to stay away from

1072
00:43:11,270 --> 00:43:09,680
most folks although there is a a lot of

1073
00:43:12,870 --> 00:43:11,280
medical testing and

1074
00:43:14,710 --> 00:43:12,880
rehabilitation that's going on but

1075
00:43:16,630 --> 00:43:14,720
there'll be time to do

1076
00:43:17,589 --> 00:43:16,640
uh debriefs and i think as i mentioned

1077
00:43:19,829 --> 00:43:17,599
before

1078
00:43:22,550 --> 00:43:19,839
certainly with the crew one folks

1079
00:43:24,630 --> 00:43:22,560
uh coming up here pretty shortly uh

1080
00:43:26,550 --> 00:43:24,640
but yeah we haven't seen a lot of them

1081
00:43:28,870 --> 00:43:26,560
because you know we're just in in the

1082
00:43:31,670 --> 00:43:28,880
stage of the pandemic where we're we're

1083
00:43:33,430 --> 00:43:31,680
still i think even the folks that are

1084
00:43:35,750 --> 00:43:33,440
haven't gone to space are

1085
00:43:37,190 --> 00:43:35,760
are trying to distance and we're masking

1086
00:43:38,950 --> 00:43:37,200
those kinds of things but we we

1087
00:43:40,309 --> 00:43:38,960
definitely know that there are a lot of

1088
00:43:43,030 --> 00:43:40,319
questions we've certainly gotten a lot

1089
00:43:43,910 --> 00:43:43,040
of texts and emails and uh hopefully we

1090
00:43:46,630 --> 00:43:43,920
can

1091
00:43:48,710 --> 00:43:46,640
describe everything uh from memory uh

1092
00:43:51,589 --> 00:43:48,720
that that is pertinent and as bob said

1093
00:43:55,190 --> 00:43:51,599
you know spacex will certainly have a

1094
00:43:57,030 --> 00:43:55,200
a synced up video with audio for our

1095
00:43:59,750 --> 00:43:57,040
ascent as well as our entry that that

1096
00:44:01,349 --> 00:43:59,760
will be passed on for multiple crews for

1097
00:44:02,870 --> 00:44:01,359
them to to use

1098
00:44:04,470 --> 00:44:02,880
yeah i would say we're still in the

1099
00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:04,480
phase where all of our astronaut

1100
00:44:07,349 --> 00:44:05,920
colleagues aren't asking us for

1101
00:44:08,870 --> 00:44:07,359
information

1102
00:44:10,470 --> 00:44:08,880
they know now is not the time for that

1103
00:44:12,710 --> 00:44:10,480
they're they're asking us do we need

1104
00:44:15,109 --> 00:44:12,720
anything or are families well taken care

1105
00:44:16,950 --> 00:44:15,119
of are we in good shape and so that's

1106
00:44:18,870 --> 00:44:16,960
their primary focus right now is you

1107
00:44:21,030 --> 00:44:18,880
know taking care of the team which is

1108
00:44:22,710 --> 00:44:21,040
the astronaut office and so i i all the

1109
00:44:24,630 --> 00:44:22,720
well wishes that come in

1110
00:44:26,390 --> 00:44:24,640
are do you need anything is there don't

1111
00:44:28,150 --> 00:44:26,400
climb a ladder i'll change the light at

1112
00:44:29,990 --> 00:44:28,160
your house all those sorts of things and

1113
00:44:32,069 --> 00:44:30,000
it's just been wonderful how many folks

1114
00:44:34,069 --> 00:44:32,079
have reached out to try to you know make

1115
00:44:36,069 --> 00:44:34,079
sure that we're well taken care of uh

1116
00:44:37,670 --> 00:44:36,079
after the the mission that we uh we just

1117
00:44:41,190 --> 00:44:37,680
went through and it's like that for

1118
00:44:42,790 --> 00:44:41,200
every mission when crews come back

1119
00:44:44,710 --> 00:44:42,800
we'll now go to social media for a few

1120
00:44:47,030 --> 00:44:44,720
more questions there using

1121
00:44:49,109 --> 00:44:47,040
ask nasa this one comes from natalie on

1122
00:44:51,190 --> 00:44:49,119
twitter what is the reconditioning

1123
00:44:53,430 --> 00:44:51,200
process like to get reacquainted with

1124
00:44:55,349 --> 00:44:53,440
gravity

1125
00:44:57,270 --> 00:44:55,359
well we'll spend two hours every day

1126
00:44:59,750 --> 00:44:57,280
with our

1127
00:45:02,309 --> 00:44:59,760
strength and conditioning uh specialists

1128
00:45:04,710 --> 00:45:02,319
and and it's essentially just a walk

1129
00:45:06,950 --> 00:45:04,720
before you run literally

1130
00:45:09,750 --> 00:45:06,960
tight process we do some stretching we

1131
00:45:10,870 --> 00:45:09,760
do some uh aerobic exercise we do some

1132
00:45:13,990 --> 00:45:10,880
lifting

1133
00:45:15,750 --> 00:45:14,000
and some agility drills and it's it's uh

1134
00:45:19,109 --> 00:45:15,760
you're pretty tired after the two-hour

1135
00:45:21,430 --> 00:45:19,119
process and we've just just started it

1136
00:45:23,349 --> 00:45:21,440
yesterday so on day

1137
00:45:26,550 --> 00:45:23,359
two

1138
00:45:27,349 --> 00:45:26,560
and it will continue for roughly 45 days

1139
00:45:30,630 --> 00:45:27,359
and

1140
00:45:31,430 --> 00:45:30,640
most most people really adjust in that

1141
00:45:33,829 --> 00:45:31,440
time

1142
00:45:35,829 --> 00:45:33,839
certainly before you get to 45 days but

1143
00:45:39,030 --> 00:45:35,839
it's a continuous process to get you

1144
00:45:40,630 --> 00:45:39,040
right back to where you were pre-flight

1145
00:45:43,190 --> 00:45:40,640
we'll take one more from social media

1146
00:45:45,109 --> 00:45:43,200
this one from leo on twitter what is the

1147
00:45:47,109 --> 00:45:45,119
greatest lesson that a young person can

1148
00:45:49,349 --> 00:45:47,119
learn from this mission especially in

1149
00:45:51,589 --> 00:45:49,359
these challenging times

1150
00:45:53,349 --> 00:45:51,599
i think the greatest lesson folks can

1151
00:45:55,670 --> 00:45:53,359
take from our experience is one of

1152
00:45:58,309 --> 00:45:55,680
perseverance you know doug and i didn't

1153
00:46:01,109 --> 00:45:58,319
get to this opportunity and this team

1154
00:46:03,750 --> 00:46:01,119
didn't get to this success without years

1155
00:46:06,069 --> 00:46:03,760
of hard effort you know challenges along

1156
00:46:07,990 --> 00:46:06,079
the way it doesn't build doing something

1157
00:46:10,069 --> 00:46:08,000
complicated like developing a new

1158
00:46:11,910 --> 00:46:10,079
spacecraft and launching it developing a

1159
00:46:13,750 --> 00:46:11,920
new rocket and then putting a spacecraft

1160
00:46:15,910 --> 00:46:13,760
on top of it and launching it to the

1161
00:46:17,829 --> 00:46:15,920
international space station is just a

1162
00:46:19,589 --> 00:46:17,839
it's a tremendous level of effort that's

1163
00:46:21,510 --> 00:46:19,599
required to accomplish that

1164
00:46:23,750 --> 00:46:21,520
and it's uh there are setbacks you know

1165
00:46:25,430 --> 00:46:23,760
there are there are challenges where you

1166
00:46:26,870 --> 00:46:25,440
know rocket performance isn't what you

1167
00:46:29,670 --> 00:46:26,880
expected or

1168
00:46:31,510 --> 00:46:29,680
a propulsion system on board a capsule

1169
00:46:33,510 --> 00:46:31,520
isn't exactly everything that you

1170
00:46:34,870 --> 00:46:33,520
thought it was and and you have to adapt

1171
00:46:37,109 --> 00:46:34,880
to those challenges and you have to

1172
00:46:40,069 --> 00:46:37,119
overcome them and continue forward and

1173
00:46:41,510 --> 00:46:40,079
maintain both optimism and paranoia as

1174
00:46:44,230 --> 00:46:41,520
you go through that

1175
00:46:46,150 --> 00:46:44,240
perseverance and so those are all normal

1176
00:46:48,630 --> 00:46:46,160
things as you try to accomplish you know

1177
00:46:51,270 --> 00:46:48,640
challenging tasks and so i'm hopeful

1178
00:46:53,030 --> 00:46:51,280
that uh our experience the entire spacex

1179
00:46:55,990 --> 00:46:53,040
teams experience and the nasa teams

1180
00:46:58,150 --> 00:46:56,000
experience one of just the the focused

1181
00:47:00,309 --> 00:46:58,160
effort for an extended period of time

1182
00:47:02,550 --> 00:47:00,319
you know can lead to just awesome

1183
00:47:04,870 --> 00:47:02,560
results if you if you you stay focused

1184
00:47:07,349 --> 00:47:04,880
and so that message of perseverance is

1185
00:47:09,109 --> 00:47:07,359
the one that i would want to share

1186
00:47:11,190 --> 00:47:09,119
we'll now go back to the phone bridge

1187
00:47:13,589 --> 00:47:11,200
starting with marina coren from the

1188
00:47:16,470 --> 00:47:13,599
atlantic

1189
00:47:18,309 --> 00:47:16,480
hi bob and doug welcome back what advice

1190
00:47:20,870 --> 00:47:18,319
would you give to future crew dragon

1191
00:47:23,030 --> 00:47:20,880
passengers who are not astronauts

1192
00:47:24,710 --> 00:47:23,040
and a quick second question you've been

1193
00:47:26,150 --> 00:47:24,720
close friends for years did your

1194
00:47:29,270 --> 00:47:26,160
friendship survive this historic

1195
00:47:33,270 --> 00:47:30,950
all right um

1196
00:47:34,950 --> 00:47:33,280
what advice would we give

1197
00:47:36,549 --> 00:47:34,960
the kind of the non-professional

1198
00:47:39,510 --> 00:47:36,559
astronaut when they're flying on crew

1199
00:47:42,470 --> 00:47:39,520
dragon purely that the

1200
00:47:44,630 --> 00:47:42,480
spacex and nasa collaborated to build a

1201
00:47:46,150 --> 00:47:44,640
tremendous vehicle that is very capable

1202
00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:46,160
of the mission to go to and from low

1203
00:47:50,470 --> 00:47:48,000
earth orbit safely

1204
00:47:51,510 --> 00:47:50,480
uh it's it's a it's a comfortable

1205
00:47:53,750 --> 00:47:51,520
vehicle

1206
00:47:56,309 --> 00:47:53,760
there are things that are just an

1207
00:47:58,630 --> 00:47:56,319
aspect of flying in space that i think

1208
00:48:00,309 --> 00:47:58,640
most folks don't quite realize or

1209
00:48:01,910 --> 00:48:00,319
understand

1210
00:48:04,069 --> 00:48:01,920
there are times when it's uncomfortable

1211
00:48:05,349 --> 00:48:04,079
there are times when

1212
00:48:07,670 --> 00:48:05,359
you know you of course you can't take a

1213
00:48:09,990 --> 00:48:07,680
shower uh you know going to the bathroom

1214
00:48:10,950 --> 00:48:10,000
is a challenge and but but i think in

1215
00:48:13,750 --> 00:48:10,960
general

1216
00:48:16,069 --> 00:48:13,760
uh it's an outstanding vehicle and and

1217
00:48:18,150 --> 00:48:16,079
they should be uh excited to fly on

1218
00:48:20,630 --> 00:48:18,160
board to get that experience if they're

1219
00:48:22,069 --> 00:48:20,640
lucky enough to do it and

1220
00:48:24,150 --> 00:48:22,079
i think as far as our friendship it

1221
00:48:26,069 --> 00:48:24,160
certainly survived that if anything it

1222
00:48:28,549 --> 00:48:26,079
just got stronger you know being part of

1223
00:48:30,630 --> 00:48:28,559
a crew with chris

1224
00:48:32,470 --> 00:48:30,640
anatoly and ivan

1225
00:48:33,670 --> 00:48:32,480
it was just neat to see the team

1226
00:48:34,390 --> 00:48:33,680
developed

1227
00:48:36,230 --> 00:48:34,400
you know

1228
00:48:37,270 --> 00:48:36,240
as bob had mentioned before and i'm sure

1229
00:48:39,109 --> 00:48:37,280
i did too

1230
00:48:40,069 --> 00:48:39,119
we we've known chris for a long time i

1231
00:48:42,790 --> 00:48:40,079
flew

1232
00:48:45,670 --> 00:48:42,800
uh with chris uh on our first flight

1233
00:48:46,630 --> 00:48:45,680
together and uh

1234
00:48:48,950 --> 00:48:46,640
it just

1235
00:48:52,470 --> 00:48:48,960
was really neat to see the the

1236
00:48:54,870 --> 00:48:52,480
expedition 63 crew develop and work

1237
00:48:57,109 --> 00:48:54,880
through the last few months and um it

1238
00:48:58,470 --> 00:48:57,119
was very very rewarding and i think for

1239
00:49:00,870 --> 00:48:58,480
me personally

1240
00:49:03,430 --> 00:49:00,880
i maybe i didn't appreciate

1241
00:49:05,270 --> 00:49:03,440
that aspect of it as much

1242
00:49:08,309 --> 00:49:05,280
you know going into the flight because i

1243
00:49:10,390 --> 00:49:08,319
think you know our huge

1244
00:49:12,630 --> 00:49:10,400
concern and challenge was

1245
00:49:15,109 --> 00:49:12,640
was making sure dm2

1246
00:49:17,589 --> 00:49:15,119
flew the way it ended up flying

1247
00:49:20,150 --> 00:49:17,599
successfully and so

1248
00:49:22,150 --> 00:49:20,160
it was it was neat and and it just was

1249
00:49:23,270 --> 00:49:22,160
such a huge advantage i think for bob

1250
00:49:25,990 --> 00:49:23,280
and i

1251
00:49:27,829 --> 00:49:26,000
that we are close friends that just the

1252
00:49:30,309 --> 00:49:27,839
crew coordination part of it and flying

1253
00:49:32,150 --> 00:49:30,319
dragon was almost via telepathy

1254
00:49:33,750 --> 00:49:32,160
sometimes you know we didn't even have

1255
00:49:36,630 --> 00:49:33,760
to say anything whether we were pointing

1256
00:49:38,710 --> 00:49:36,640
at something or if we just

1257
00:49:40,549 --> 00:49:38,720
at that particular moment looking at

1258
00:49:42,309 --> 00:49:40,559
that part of a display because that's

1259
00:49:46,390 --> 00:49:42,319
what we knew would be the thing that was

1260
00:49:48,390 --> 00:49:46,400
most important and i i just think that

1261
00:49:50,390 --> 00:49:48,400
you know i know that doesn't necessarily

1262
00:49:53,270 --> 00:49:50,400
always go into the selection process but

1263
00:49:54,630 --> 00:49:53,280
i think you know in this case uh

1264
00:49:56,710 --> 00:49:54,640
when we were selected to fly this

1265
00:49:59,510 --> 00:49:56,720
mission together it certainly gave us a

1266
00:50:02,470 --> 00:49:59,520
distinct advantage over some crews

1267
00:50:04,390 --> 00:50:02,480
and and and it was certainly very much

1268
00:50:06,230 --> 00:50:04,400
appreciated by me

1269
00:50:08,710 --> 00:50:06,240
just as doug said being able to add

1270
00:50:11,430 --> 00:50:08,720
chris to our friendship and uh anatoly

1271
00:50:13,910 --> 00:50:11,440
and abond is is really how expedition 63

1272
00:50:16,150 --> 00:50:13,920
worked out you know it was us focused on

1273
00:50:18,150 --> 00:50:16,160
the mission and chris as the commander

1274
00:50:20,150 --> 00:50:18,160
of the space station being able to shift

1275
00:50:22,470 --> 00:50:20,160
into the support role when it came time

1276
00:50:24,230 --> 00:50:22,480
for us to get docked and then us to

1277
00:50:26,069 --> 00:50:24,240
shift into our support roles once we

1278
00:50:27,829 --> 00:50:26,079
were on board the space station of

1279
00:50:28,870 --> 00:50:27,839
course the space walks activities have

1280
00:50:30,069 --> 00:50:28,880
various

1281
00:50:31,589 --> 00:50:30,079
uh

1282
00:50:33,510 --> 00:50:31,599
sync points where the kind of the

1283
00:50:35,510 --> 00:50:33,520
leadership kind of moves around and we

1284
00:50:36,309 --> 00:50:35,520
were able to do that very seamlessly and

1285
00:50:38,309 --> 00:50:36,319
and

1286
00:50:40,790 --> 00:50:38,319
part of that is you know related to just

1287
00:50:42,230 --> 00:50:40,800
how close and how how strong our

1288
00:50:44,630 --> 00:50:42,240
friendships were kind of across the

1289
00:50:45,910 --> 00:50:44,640
board and so and of course when we came

1290
00:50:48,309 --> 00:50:45,920
to the end of the mission and it was

1291
00:50:50,309 --> 00:50:48,319
time to undock uh chris jumped back into

1292
00:50:51,990 --> 00:50:50,319
that support role again and helped us

1293
00:50:53,750 --> 00:50:52,000
with the cargo transfer that we needed

1294
00:50:56,309 --> 00:50:53,760
to put in place some of the powered

1295
00:50:57,910 --> 00:50:56,319
payload activities we just it was all

1296
00:50:59,670 --> 00:50:57,920
very seamless folks understood what

1297
00:51:01,670 --> 00:50:59,680
their responsibilities were and we were

1298
00:51:03,750 --> 00:51:01,680
able to you know cooperate and work

1299
00:51:05,910 --> 00:51:03,760
together to to make it all happen and

1300
00:51:07,910 --> 00:51:05,920
get the mission done and so i would say

1301
00:51:09,670 --> 00:51:07,920
you know our friendship is stronger and

1302
00:51:11,670 --> 00:51:09,680
we added some folks to our circle as

1303
00:51:14,069 --> 00:51:11,680
well

1304
00:51:16,390 --> 00:51:14,079
next is mary liz bender from cosmic

1305
00:51:18,309 --> 00:51:16,400
perspective

1306
00:51:20,390 --> 00:51:18,319
welcome home bob and doug i want to

1307
00:51:22,710 --> 00:51:20,400
first thank you for sharing that wisdom

1308
00:51:25,190 --> 00:51:22,720
on perseverance

1309
00:51:27,589 --> 00:51:25,200
you shared a lot of stunning images of

1310
00:51:29,510 --> 00:51:27,599
earth while you were on the station and

1311
00:51:32,309 --> 00:51:29,520
i really enjoyed the perspective you

1312
00:51:34,950 --> 00:51:32,319
gave with the captions that you used and

1313
00:51:37,430 --> 00:51:34,960
i just wanted to ask what compelled you

1314
00:51:39,190 --> 00:51:37,440
to share so much and what was your

1315
00:51:40,630 --> 00:51:39,200
favorite location or feature to

1316
00:51:42,549 --> 00:51:40,640
photograph

1317
00:51:44,630 --> 00:51:42,559
well i think i think we can both answer

1318
00:51:46,549 --> 00:51:44,640
that one um

1319
00:51:48,230 --> 00:51:46,559
you know for me

1320
00:51:50,069 --> 00:51:48,240
i just

1321
00:51:53,349 --> 00:51:50,079
every time you look out the window of

1322
00:51:55,589 --> 00:51:53,359
the space station and and certainly

1323
00:51:57,030 --> 00:51:55,599
we didn't get the opportunity that i

1324
00:51:59,270 --> 00:51:57,040
thought we were going to get you know

1325
00:52:02,630 --> 00:51:59,280
based on the description of previous

1326
00:52:05,990 --> 00:52:02,640
crew members that we our our time was uh

1327
00:52:07,910 --> 00:52:06,000
used up a lot to to make up for the fact

1328
00:52:09,750 --> 00:52:07,920
that you know we were down to three crew

1329
00:52:11,829 --> 00:52:09,760
members on the space station

1330
00:52:13,030 --> 00:52:11,839
uh prior to us getting there

1331
00:52:15,190 --> 00:52:13,040
and uh

1332
00:52:16,790 --> 00:52:15,200
i think and and rightly so the

1333
00:52:18,630 --> 00:52:16,800
international space station program

1334
00:52:20,309 --> 00:52:18,640
needed needed us to get to work right

1335
00:52:21,589 --> 00:52:20,319
off the bat but the time that we did get

1336
00:52:23,430 --> 00:52:21,599
to do that

1337
00:52:26,069 --> 00:52:23,440
you know the perspective that you have

1338
00:52:27,030 --> 00:52:26,079
from low earth orbit of our planet is

1339
00:52:32,309 --> 00:52:27,040
just

1340
00:52:34,950 --> 00:52:32,319
first of all how beautiful the planet is

1341
00:52:36,950 --> 00:52:34,960
and and that there are no borders uh

1342
00:52:38,710 --> 00:52:36,960
that you can see from space that the

1343
00:52:40,790 --> 00:52:38,720
atmosphere is so thin

1344
00:52:42,309 --> 00:52:40,800
and then literally every time you look

1345
00:52:44,309 --> 00:52:42,319
out the window you see something

1346
00:52:45,990 --> 00:52:44,319
different and even more beautiful than

1347
00:52:47,670 --> 00:52:46,000
the last thing you saw the last time you

1348
00:52:49,270 --> 00:52:47,680
looked out the window and it's always

1349
00:52:52,870 --> 00:52:49,280
different and

1350
00:52:55,109 --> 00:52:52,880
and maybe more so this year than than in

1351
00:52:57,670 --> 00:52:55,119
past years that that astronauts have

1352
00:52:59,670 --> 00:52:57,680
taken photographs out the window

1353
00:53:01,829 --> 00:52:59,680
you know the country the country the

1354
00:53:05,349 --> 00:53:01,839
united states and the world has been

1355
00:53:08,950 --> 00:53:05,359
dealing with so much uh

1356
00:53:10,069 --> 00:53:08,960
chaos and drama and the pandemic and all

1357
00:53:11,910 --> 00:53:10,079
the things that have been going on in

1358
00:53:14,069 --> 00:53:11,920
the world and and you know

1359
00:53:15,750 --> 00:53:14,079
if it were me it would make me feel

1360
00:53:17,510 --> 00:53:15,760
better to see these pictures from space

1361
00:53:18,230 --> 00:53:17,520
and so i think we just felt like it was

1362
00:53:53,109 --> 00:53:18,240
a

1363
00:53:55,270 --> 00:53:53,119
you know i think for both of us we

1364
00:53:57,349 --> 00:53:55,280
didn't expect to have a longer duration

1365
00:53:59,030 --> 00:53:57,359
mission we expected to have just a few

1366
00:54:01,670 --> 00:53:59,040
short days which would have really

1367
00:54:03,990 --> 00:54:01,680
limited our opportunity to share the

1368
00:54:05,829 --> 00:54:04,000
station life aspects or the things that

1369
00:54:07,829 --> 00:54:05,839
you can see from low earth orbit or from

1370
00:54:10,390 --> 00:54:07,839
the space station with folks and when we

1371
00:54:12,150 --> 00:54:10,400
got the opportunity for a longer mission

1372
00:54:14,390 --> 00:54:12,160
i think we both wanted to take advantage

1373
00:54:16,870 --> 00:54:14,400
of that you know i think the earth below

1374
00:54:18,630 --> 00:54:16,880
us is a was a wonderful view just some

1375
00:54:21,510 --> 00:54:18,640
amazing things to see

1376
00:54:23,670 --> 00:54:21,520
i'm a little bit uh i'm a physics

1377
00:54:26,069 --> 00:54:23,680
trained engineer background sort of a

1378
00:54:29,270 --> 00:54:26,079
thing and so i was really interested in

1379
00:54:31,910 --> 00:54:29,280
the the things that were examples of

1380
00:54:34,230 --> 00:54:31,920
science or engineering or just physics

1381
00:54:35,750 --> 00:54:34,240
below us or above us that was happening

1382
00:54:37,349 --> 00:54:35,760
and so whether it was

1383
00:54:39,910 --> 00:54:37,359
light shimmering across the ocean's

1384
00:54:41,670 --> 00:54:39,920
surface or it was sunrises or sunset and

1385
00:54:43,829 --> 00:54:41,680
trying to figure out how to get a photo

1386
00:54:46,150 --> 00:54:43,839
and share that so that somebody else

1387
00:54:47,829 --> 00:54:46,160
could have the same wonder that we have

1388
00:54:50,309 --> 00:54:47,839
when we get a chance to see it ourselves

1389
00:54:52,789 --> 00:54:50,319
was what was really important to me we

1390
00:54:54,870 --> 00:54:52,799
had some interesting you know

1391
00:54:56,230 --> 00:54:54,880
um conditions uh during the fight we had

1392
00:54:58,230 --> 00:54:56,240
a period of time where we were in

1393
00:55:00,390 --> 00:54:58,240
continuous daylight uh we got to do a

1394
00:55:01,750 --> 00:55:00,400
spacewalk in continuous daylight which

1395
00:55:04,470 --> 00:55:01,760
was just a

1396
00:55:07,349 --> 00:55:04,480
crazy to imagine you know being outside

1397
00:55:09,030 --> 00:55:07,359
the entire time uh with with the sun up

1398
00:55:11,190 --> 00:55:09,040
the entire time was just a

1399
00:55:13,430 --> 00:55:11,200
strange thing to kind of get your mind

1400
00:55:15,829 --> 00:55:13,440
around and we got to got to have that

1401
00:55:17,670 --> 00:55:15,839
experience and so as a part of that i

1402
00:55:19,990 --> 00:55:17,680
think it took away the opportunities for

1403
00:55:22,549 --> 00:55:20,000
us to get as many shots of the the comet

1404
00:55:24,230 --> 00:55:22,559
uh neo-wise that was uh

1405
00:55:25,670 --> 00:55:24,240
rising it kind of came in that same

1406
00:55:27,750 --> 00:55:25,680
period so we had too much light to be

1407
00:55:29,430 --> 00:55:27,760
able to see it very much but

1408
00:55:31,030 --> 00:55:29,440
just all those things that you can see

1409
00:55:32,230 --> 00:55:31,040
whether it's lightning or the cities at

1410
00:55:34,390 --> 00:55:32,240
night or

1411
00:55:36,150 --> 00:55:34,400
or look out at the milky way and see the

1412
00:55:38,470 --> 00:55:36,160
stars in the in the background or just

1413
00:55:40,630 --> 00:55:38,480
see the glow of the the earth and see

1414
00:55:42,710 --> 00:55:40,640
that it is not dark even at night uh

1415
00:55:44,950 --> 00:55:42,720
compared to the darkness of space this

1416
00:55:48,390 --> 00:55:44,960
uh just imagery that we wanted to share

1417
00:55:50,230 --> 00:55:48,400
and maybe uh and spark an interest of

1418
00:55:51,829 --> 00:55:50,240
the wonder that we were able to see and

1419
00:55:54,870 --> 00:55:51,839
whether it's a child or an adult that's

1420
00:55:56,870 --> 00:55:54,880
out there so that uh in this year um and

1421
00:55:59,430 --> 00:55:56,880
and years in the future folks can look

1422
00:56:01,510 --> 00:55:59,440
at that and be inspired to have the kind

1423
00:56:03,030 --> 00:56:01,520
of careers that we've had or you know

1424
00:56:05,910 --> 00:56:03,040
chase a different dream than the one

1425
00:56:12,309 --> 00:56:09,990
next is irene klotz from aviation week

1426
00:56:15,109 --> 00:56:12,319
thank you um i realize you're still

1427
00:56:17,670 --> 00:56:15,119
digesting all of this but if you if the

1428
00:56:18,789 --> 00:56:17,680
decision were up to you about when to

1429
00:56:21,270 --> 00:56:18,799
fly

1430
00:56:22,549 --> 00:56:21,280
a friend family other non-professional

1431
00:56:24,950 --> 00:56:22,559
astronauts

1432
00:56:27,750 --> 00:56:24,960
um do you think that the system is

1433
00:56:31,829 --> 00:56:27,760
mature enough after just perhaps another

1434
00:56:34,470 --> 00:56:31,839
two flights to have that kind of mission

1435
00:56:36,789 --> 00:56:34,480
that's a good question i think um

1436
00:56:38,150 --> 00:56:36,799
if if it were me and it was a family

1437
00:56:39,990 --> 00:56:38,160
member

1438
00:56:42,630 --> 00:56:40,000
certainly as bob described there's a

1439
00:56:45,109 --> 00:56:42,640
certification process that that

1440
00:56:45,990 --> 00:56:45,119
that endeavor hasn't completed yet and

1441
00:56:47,750 --> 00:56:46,000
it'll

1442
00:56:50,789 --> 00:56:47,760
likely be weeks

1443
00:56:53,990 --> 00:56:50,799
and i think from my experience of flying

1444
00:56:56,230 --> 00:56:54,000
fighters and and testing fighters

1445
00:56:57,990 --> 00:56:56,240
you know a first flight

1446
00:56:58,870 --> 00:56:58,000
there's a lot of scrutiny on a first

1447
00:57:00,789 --> 00:56:58,880
flight

1448
00:57:02,150 --> 00:57:00,799
and there's a lot of work that goes into

1449
00:57:04,230 --> 00:57:02,160
a first flight

1450
00:57:06,309 --> 00:57:04,240
but you can't let your guard down and

1451
00:57:08,630 --> 00:57:06,319
you you got to take a look at the data

1452
00:57:10,069 --> 00:57:08,640
you've got to listen to the hardware and

1453
00:57:11,589 --> 00:57:10,079
and it's probably going to take a few

1454
00:57:14,069 --> 00:57:11,599
flights

1455
00:57:16,069 --> 00:57:14,079
because you know we certainly did our

1456
00:57:18,630 --> 00:57:16,079
best and i think the teams did their

1457
00:57:20,630 --> 00:57:18,640
best to script this flight to be a a

1458
00:57:21,750 --> 00:57:20,640
full-up test flight but there are

1459
00:57:24,390 --> 00:57:21,760
certainly

1460
00:57:25,430 --> 00:57:24,400
things on dragon that could be tested

1461
00:57:26,390 --> 00:57:25,440
more

1462
00:57:28,950 --> 00:57:26,400
and

1463
00:57:30,470 --> 00:57:28,960
there just for an example you know we

1464
00:57:32,470 --> 00:57:30,480
docked to the forward part of the space

1465
00:57:34,150 --> 00:57:32,480
station there's certainly the likelihood

1466
00:57:36,230 --> 00:57:34,160
that a dragon is going to have to dock

1467
00:57:39,510 --> 00:57:36,240
to a different docking port either the

1468
00:57:41,109 --> 00:57:39,520
zenith i think it's the zenith port that

1469
00:57:43,190 --> 00:57:41,119
is likely to be next for a commercial

1470
00:57:45,349 --> 00:57:43,200
vehicle and that may sound somewhat

1471
00:57:46,710 --> 00:57:45,359
insignificant but it but it but it isn't

1472
00:57:48,549 --> 00:57:46,720
and so

1473
00:57:51,750 --> 00:57:48,559
all the software that needs to go in to

1474
00:57:53,030 --> 00:57:51,760
the the vehicle uh trajectory analysis

1475
00:57:54,549 --> 00:57:53,040
and the things that they need to do in

1476
00:57:56,710 --> 00:57:54,559
order to make that

1477
00:57:58,230 --> 00:57:56,720
that possible and and for our flight

1478
00:57:59,990 --> 00:57:58,240
that was not possible though the

1479
00:58:03,109 --> 00:58:00,000
software hadn't been written yet to do

1480
00:58:04,309 --> 00:58:03,119
those uh to do that docking port so just

1481
00:58:05,990 --> 00:58:04,319
things like that so i think it's going

1482
00:58:09,430 --> 00:58:06,000
to take a few flights

1483
00:58:11,030 --> 00:58:09,440
before uh and i think that's prudent a

1484
00:58:12,710 --> 00:58:11,040
few flights before

1485
00:58:15,190 --> 00:58:12,720
you know we can consider this vehicle

1486
00:58:16,309 --> 00:58:15,200
completely tested and then as we all

1487
