00:03:36,290 --> 00:03:34,080
spacecraft on top of a Falcon 9 rocket

7
00:03:38,270 --> 00:03:36,300
set to launch three astronauts and one

8
00:03:40,729 --> 00:03:38,280
Cosmonaut to the International Space

9
00:03:42,530 --> 00:03:40,739
Station in a little more than three

10
00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:42,540
hours

11
00:03:46,369 --> 00:03:44,640
it's a beautiful sight outside beautiful

Doug Hurley were the first astronauts to

18
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,879
fly crew Dragon into space Bob it's

19
00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:04,560
great to have you here you're part of

20
00:04:08,270 --> 00:04:06,480
that historic flight and now here you

21
00:04:09,890 --> 00:04:08,280
are back helping us with our launch

22
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:09,900
commentary for today's Mission well

23
00:04:13,970 --> 00:04:11,760
thank you Daryl I'm super excited to be

24
00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:13,980
here a beautiful day to relive my launch

25
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:15,840
experience looking forward to it you

26
00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:17,400
certainly will remember this experience

27
00:04:22,250 --> 00:04:19,919
well we've got video recorded from just

28
00:04:24,830 --> 00:04:22,260
a less than an hour ago of crew 5

29
00:04:26,210 --> 00:04:24,840
getting suited up in that historic suit

30
00:04:29,150 --> 00:04:26,220
up room and there you see them

31
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:29,160
everything went smoothly you can see the

32
00:04:34,969 --> 00:04:31,680
astronauts there in their spacesuits

33
00:04:37,249 --> 00:04:34,979
after getting them fitted and tested and

34
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:37,259
those minus three hours and 23 minutes

35
00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:39,840
the displays are configured for crew

36
00:04:43,850 --> 00:04:42,479
Ingress on schedule that's our law

37
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:43,860
launch audio we're going to pause

38
00:04:47,210 --> 00:04:45,840
whenever that comes up but tell me a

39
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:47,220
little bit about those custom flight

40
00:04:51,650 --> 00:04:49,199
suits Bob well Daryl I've heard those

41
00:04:53,810 --> 00:04:51,660
suits referred to as space Tuxedos by

42
00:04:56,210 --> 00:04:53,820
some of the SpaceX team and they are

43
00:04:57,469 --> 00:04:56,220
custom fit and they they are you know

44
00:04:59,330 --> 00:04:57,479
what the crew needs to wear in case

45
00:05:01,490 --> 00:04:59,340
there was any sort of an issue inside of

46
00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:01,500
the capsule they uh they're custom fit

47
00:05:04,909 --> 00:05:03,060
and they'll be ready to wear them when

48
00:05:06,409 --> 00:05:04,919
they head into space not designed to go

49
00:05:07,790 --> 00:05:06,419
outside the capsule but certainly

50
00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:07,800
something would happen inside the

51
00:05:11,810 --> 00:05:09,840
capsule they pressurize and that keeps

52
00:05:14,450 --> 00:05:11,820
them safe now we want to invite you

53
00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:14,460
folks who are watching to participate in

54
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:16,320
our broadcast today if you would like to

55
00:05:21,350 --> 00:05:18,720
ask Bob a question over the next three

56
00:05:24,350 --> 00:05:21,360
hours you can jump on any number of our

57
00:05:26,330 --> 00:05:24,360
social media handles uh one of the ones

58
00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:26,340
that we're looking at is the hashtag ask

59
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:29,280
NASA handle on Twitter send us that

60
00:05:34,850 --> 00:05:31,680
tweet with a question and the hashtag

61
00:05:37,010 --> 00:05:34,860
asknasa and we will get to it now in

62
00:05:39,170 --> 00:05:37,020
addition to Bob's analysis we have teams

63
00:05:41,210 --> 00:05:39,180
across the country covering the action

64
00:05:43,490 --> 00:05:41,220
and there they are we'll get updates

65
00:05:45,189 --> 00:05:43,500
from SpaceX headquarters given us away

66
00:05:48,110 --> 00:05:45,199
from out there in Hawthorne California

67
00:05:50,510 --> 00:05:48,120
and Houston Texas the mission control

68
00:05:52,370 --> 00:05:50,520
center hello to you as well and of

69
00:05:54,590 --> 00:05:52,380

70
00:05:56,450 --> 00:05:54,600
our interviewees standing by now let's

71
00:05:58,189 --> 00:05:56,460
check in with our team monitoring

72
00:05:59,629 --> 00:05:58,199
preparations for launch at SpaceX

73
00:06:03,950 --> 00:05:59,639
headquarters in Hawthorne California

74
00:06:09,469 --> 00:06:07,129
hi I'm NASA Sandra Jones with NASA

75
00:06:11,210 --> 00:06:09,479
Communications and I'm Jesse Anderson a

76
00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:11,220
production engineering manager here at

77
00:06:16,370 --> 00:06:13,680
SpaceX as we count down to liftoff

78
00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:16,380
welcome to Mission Control this is where

79
00:06:20,450 --> 00:06:18,240
our teams are staffed around the clocks

80
00:06:22,249 --> 00:06:20,460
monitor dragon and the mission on

81
00:06:24,409 --> 00:06:22,259
Console or headset in Mission Control

82
00:06:26,930 --> 00:06:24,419
are six key positions the mission

83
00:06:28,670 --> 00:06:26,940
director is in charge of the room and

84
00:06:31,010 --> 00:06:28,680
tasked with making real-time decisions

85
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:31,020
to ensure Mission success the person

86
00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:32,400
that you'll hear talking to the

87
00:06:36,529 --> 00:06:34,560
astronauts is the crew operations and

88
00:06:38,090 --> 00:06:36,539
resources engineer who you'll hear us

89
00:06:39,529 --> 00:06:38,100
refer to as the core throughout the

90
00:06:41,809 --> 00:06:39,539
broadcast and there you can see them on

91
00:06:43,850 --> 00:06:41,819
the screen the additional positions are

92
00:06:46,370 --> 00:06:43,860
focused on Vehicle Systems including

93
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:46,380
avionics navigation and Control software

94
00:06:50,270 --> 00:06:48,000
propulsion life support and

95
00:06:53,390 --> 00:06:50,280
communication with ground support teams

96
00:06:55,129 --> 00:06:53,400
and NASA has its own team members in

97
00:06:56,990 --> 00:06:55,139
Mission Control Houston where they've

98
00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:57,000
been preparing the space station for

99
00:07:01,010 --> 00:06:59,280
dragon's arrival we'll meet several of

100
00:07:03,650 --> 00:07:01,020
the key players later when we check in

101
00:07:05,629 --> 00:07:03,660
with them and upon liftoff today's ride

102
00:07:08,809 --> 00:07:05,639
to the International Space Station will

103
00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:08,819
take about 29 hours with dragon flying

104
00:07:13,790 --> 00:07:11,759
autonomously the entire way and just

105
00:07:16,249 --> 00:07:13,800
like autopilot on a commercial aircraft

106
00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:16,259
the crew always has the option or the

107
00:07:21,469 --> 00:07:18,960
ability to take manual control of the

108
00:07:23,390 --> 00:07:21,479
spacecraft if needed so let's head back

109
00:07:25,730 --> 00:07:23,400
over to Florida as we await the cruise

110
00:07:28,010 --> 00:07:25,740
departure for the launch pad Daryl

111
00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:28,020
Sandra and Jesse thank you very much and

112
00:07:33,350 --> 00:07:31,199
here they come true five are

113
00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:33,360
are they're ready for crew arrival and

114
00:07:38,749 --> 00:07:35,340
crew are walking out of the onc room now

115
00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:38,759
on schedule indeed they are and there

116
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:40,560
they are

117
00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:42,840
the astronauts of crew 5 taking their

118
00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:44,639
first steps outside as they head to the

119
00:07:47,629 --> 00:07:45,840
pad

120
00:07:51,409 --> 00:07:47,639
from left to right

121
00:08:02,290 --> 00:07:51,419
Cosmonaut Anna kikuna Josh Casada

122
00:08:07,610 --> 00:08:05,450
so that was a pose for a picture

123
00:08:08,450 --> 00:08:07,620
and here they go to their ride out to

124
00:08:11,029 --> 00:08:08,460
the pad

125
00:08:13,370 --> 00:08:11,039
three Teslas all lined up in queue along

126
00:08:14,809 --> 00:08:13,380
with a full security escort and the

127
00:08:17,450 --> 00:08:14,819
folks you see there

128
00:08:19,969 --> 00:08:17,460
family loved ones

129
00:08:22,309 --> 00:08:19,979
this is a moment to have

130
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:22,319
an exchange Mom it is it's an

131
00:08:26,029 --> 00:08:24,180
opportunity for the crew if you will to

132
00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:26,039
take a little bit of a break from the

133
00:08:29,029 --> 00:08:27,360
technical briefs that they've been

134
00:08:30,350 --> 00:08:29,039
having this morning as they got suited

135
00:08:32,810 --> 00:08:30,360
up and understood what the weather

136
00:08:35,089 --> 00:08:32,820
conditions were they get a chance to say

137
00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:35,099
goodbye to their families uh see some

138
00:08:38,930 --> 00:08:37,200
smiling faces again have a little bit of

139
00:08:40,730 --> 00:08:38,940
a relaxing moment with their families

140
00:08:43,010 --> 00:08:40,740
before they get serious again and head

141
00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:43,020
out to the launch pad and they keep a

142
00:08:46,730 --> 00:08:44,700
certain distance away you can see the

143
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,740
stanchions you can see the family that

144
00:08:50,090 --> 00:08:48,480
are gathered there and of course that's

145
00:08:52,250 --> 00:08:50,100
in the interest of the astronaut's

146
00:08:53,810 --> 00:08:52,260
Health that's absolutely true Daryl you

147
00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:53,820
know the crew has been in a quarantine

148
00:08:57,410 --> 00:08:56,160
State for the last several days you know

149
00:08:59,329 --> 00:08:57,420
they don't want to bring anything to

150
00:09:01,009 --> 00:08:59,339
space station that we don't have you

151
00:09:02,870 --> 00:09:01,019
know really tight control of and so

152
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:02,880
they'll stay back from folks but they'll

153
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:04,860
give some air hugs and some waves all

154
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:16,130
thank you

155
00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:26,950
come on

156
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:34,150
[Music]

157
00:09:38,269 --> 00:09:36,710
I can't make out exactly what's being

158
00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:38,279
said but we know

159
00:09:44,269 --> 00:09:41,279
from your experience Bob that

160
00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:44,279
it can be an emotional moment absolutely

161
00:09:48,350 --> 00:09:46,320
you know for the demo 2 mission my son

162
00:09:50,509 --> 00:09:48,360
was super excited to yell launch America

163
00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:50,519
so that was the one thing that you could

164
00:09:55,009 --> 00:09:53,040
absolutely hear even inside the the suit

165
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:55,019
with our deep insert earplugs you could

166
00:09:58,250 --> 00:09:56,940
hear that launch America tune when he uh

167
00:10:00,769 --> 00:09:58,260
sang it out

168
00:10:03,769 --> 00:10:00,779
your wife said the same thing that uh

169
00:10:05,870 --> 00:10:03,779
you could hear him shouting out and

170
00:10:08,750 --> 00:10:05,880
and that's something actually particular

171
00:10:10,370 --> 00:10:08,760
to astronauts with young family members

172
00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:10,380
with young children

173
00:10:13,910 --> 00:10:12,240
that you have to prepare them for I was

174
00:10:16,490 --> 00:10:13,920
watching a documentary

175
00:10:18,530 --> 00:10:16,500
um your son wasn't exactly on board at

176
00:10:20,509 --> 00:10:18,540
the beginning absolutely at the

177
00:10:22,070 --> 00:10:20,519
beginning of the idea of a parent

178
00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:22,080
launching into space was something he

179
00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:24,240
was unfamiliar with a little bit scared

180
00:10:27,949 --> 00:10:25,680
of but we brought him down here to

181
00:10:30,410 --> 00:10:27,959
Kennedy got him a chance to see a cargo

182
00:10:32,030 --> 00:10:30,420
launch into space and then by the end of

183
00:10:34,130 --> 00:10:32,040
that experience he was ready for me to

184
00:10:36,230 --> 00:10:34,140
go first Mommy to go second and he said

185
00:10:37,790 --> 00:10:36,240
he was going third so we'll wait to see

186
00:10:39,889 --> 00:10:37,800
if that happens

187
00:10:43,070 --> 00:10:39,899
and then we'll have him on for the crew

188
00:10:45,829 --> 00:10:43,080
37 show now he thinks probably crew 16.

189
00:10:49,069 --> 00:10:45,839
okay earlier schedule yeah I like him

190
00:10:54,290 --> 00:10:51,170
look at that license plate I was just

191
00:10:56,269 --> 00:10:54,300
noticing that blast off

192
00:10:58,009 --> 00:10:56,279
yeah there the SpaceX team has been

193
00:10:59,569 --> 00:10:58,019
creative with those license plates it's

194
00:11:01,310 --> 00:10:59,579
always cool to see what they add to the

195
00:11:03,470 --> 00:11:01,320
Teslas to make the experience just a

196
00:11:05,630 --> 00:11:03,480
little bit personalized

197
00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:05,640
it's a nice touch

198
00:11:08,930 --> 00:11:06,959
you can see the media in the background

199
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:08,940
positioning themselves for a good shot

200
00:11:16,130 --> 00:11:12,240
as the Teslas roll out with a full

201
00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:16,140
security escort on a 20-minute drive to

202
00:11:25,490 --> 00:11:22,550
and they're queuing up a playlist right

203
00:11:27,650 --> 00:11:25,500
now Bob with some tunes in fact I've got

204
00:11:29,449 --> 00:11:27,660
the playlist to one of the vehicles I

205
00:11:30,769 --> 00:11:29,459
believe it's the lead astronaut vehicle

206
00:11:31,610 --> 00:11:30,779
which would be the second one in this

207
00:11:32,569 --> 00:11:31,620
line

208
00:11:34,490 --> 00:11:32,579
here's what they're going to be

209
00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:34,500
listening to

210
00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:36,320
oh yeah by yellow

211
00:11:43,730 --> 00:11:40,560
Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins Stronger by

212
00:11:46,009 --> 00:11:43,740
the score Slow Ride fog hat everybody

213
00:11:49,069 --> 00:11:46,019
got their something by Nikki Costa

214
00:11:51,829 --> 00:11:49,079
sabotaged by the Beastie Boys mainstream

215
00:11:54,290 --> 00:11:51,839
kid by Brandy Carlisle and Don't Stop

216
00:11:56,090 --> 00:11:54,300
Believing by Journey it's a nice list

217
00:11:57,590 --> 00:11:56,100
right there it's a wonderful mix there's

218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:11:57,600
a little bit of a slow and react

219
00:12:01,670 --> 00:11:59,880
relaxing portion of it as well as

220
00:12:04,069 --> 00:12:01,680
something with a little bit of emotion

221
00:12:05,509 --> 00:12:04,079
as they head out to the launch pad

222
00:12:07,730 --> 00:12:05,519
you know when Doug and I headed out to

223
00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:07,740
the launch pad we had some tunes as well

224
00:12:11,930 --> 00:12:09,839
and we took the experience to capture

225
00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:11,940
kind of the same things the excitements

226
00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:13,920
of launching into space Back in Black

227
00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:16,320
was one of the songs we selected from AC

228
00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:18,240
DC since we were both headed back into

229
00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:20,880
into space again and uh it was it was an

230
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:22,560
exciting time for us

231
00:12:26,750 --> 00:12:24,120
and that was followed I Believe by a

232
00:12:29,090 --> 00:12:26,760
Girl from Ipanema which was very much a

233
00:12:30,949 --> 00:12:29,100
contrast and it was Daryl you know this

234
00:12:32,870 --> 00:12:30,959
is a 20-minute ride out to the launch

235
00:12:34,850 --> 00:12:32,880
pad the crew's been on a very tight

236
00:12:36,710 --> 00:12:34,860
schedule as they uh worked their way to

237
00:12:39,110 --> 00:12:36,720
get to this point but now's the time to

238
00:12:41,509 --> 00:12:39,120
sit back and wind your watch and and

239
00:12:43,370 --> 00:12:41,519
wait for the actual launch event so that

240
00:12:45,769 --> 00:12:43,380
that waiting music came from The Blues

241
00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:45,779
Brothers movie and and Doug and I knew

242
00:12:49,009 --> 00:12:47,040
there was just going to be a time where

243
00:12:51,410 --> 00:12:49,019
we had to wait our turn to launch on

244
00:12:53,150 --> 00:12:51,420
that rocket windows are open now on the

245
00:12:55,250 --> 00:12:53,160
Teslas and family members just now

246
00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:55,260
retreating back from the vehicles but

247
00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:57,120
then also getting another moment up

248
00:13:07,870 --> 00:12:58,320
there next to the car which just

249
00:13:15,110 --> 00:13:11,290
there they go

250
00:13:16,850 --> 00:13:15,120
on countdown P minus three hours and 15

251
00:13:18,769 --> 00:13:16,860
minutes crew are beginning their

252
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:18,779
transport from the onc room to the pad

253
00:13:21,290 --> 00:13:19,890
right on schedule

254
00:13:23,329 --> 00:13:21,300
[Applause]

255
00:13:24,949 --> 00:13:23,339
call out from the SpaceX team the crew

256
00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:24,959
now departing the Neil Armstrong

257
00:13:31,670 --> 00:13:28,560
operations and checkout building

258
00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:33,710
as they make a shot available for all of

259
00:13:37,790 --> 00:13:36,240
the media and photographers down there

260
00:13:40,250 --> 00:13:37,800
they're beginning their 20-minute drive

261
00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:40,260
with a full security escort across

262
00:13:45,410 --> 00:13:42,240
NASA's Kennedy Space Center

263
00:13:47,329 --> 00:13:45,420
and out to launch pad 39a the track

264
00:13:49,550 --> 00:13:47,339
they're taking goes through the

265
00:13:52,490 --> 00:13:49,560
industrial area

266
00:13:57,829 --> 00:13:52,500
and then gets out to the NASA Causeway

267
00:14:02,870 --> 00:14:00,530
and Bob as we were watching that moment

268
00:14:04,790 --> 00:14:02,880
there I want to put a piece of tape that

269
00:14:07,310 --> 00:14:04,800
we have from your wife Megan talking

270
00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:07,320
about those moments leading up to launch

271
00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:09,120
we're also going to see footage of uh

272
00:14:13,310 --> 00:14:10,860
that historic mission that you

273
00:14:15,470 --> 00:14:13,320
participated in demo two we'll also see

274
00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:15,480
hers and we'll get to see the goodbyes

275
00:14:20,090 --> 00:14:17,040
from either one let's take a look at

276
00:14:23,150 --> 00:14:21,530
we want to give you a little flashback

277
00:14:26,210 --> 00:14:23,160
take a look at the screen now you might

278
00:14:28,490 --> 00:14:26,220
remember this demo 2 and there you are

279
00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:28,500
in the light blue with your son saying

280
00:14:32,210 --> 00:14:30,240
goodbye to your husband Bob bacon on

281
00:14:34,430 --> 00:14:32,220
that historic flight that's right that

282
00:14:36,889 --> 00:14:34,440
was a really special moment and it was

283
00:14:38,750 --> 00:14:36,899
great to see how excited my son was to

284
00:14:41,870 --> 00:14:38,760
see his father there were no tears it

285
00:14:43,490 --> 00:14:41,880
was all smiles and cheering my son I

286
00:14:45,949 --> 00:14:43,500
think was determined to say launch

287
00:14:47,569 --> 00:14:45,959
America First and loudest and so that's

288
00:14:49,790 --> 00:14:47,579

289
00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:49,800
great job and then in April crew two

290
00:14:53,569 --> 00:14:51,839
this was your launch and now the roll

291
00:14:55,069 --> 00:14:53,579
was reversed you were in the astronaut

292
00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:55,079
suit getting ready to go out and launch

293
00:14:58,850 --> 00:14:57,120
and your husband was there with your son

294
00:15:01,730 --> 00:14:58,860

00:15:03,170 --> 00:15:01,740
that for that launch America and I sure

296
00:15:07,310 --> 00:15:03,180
enough I could hear it from probably 20

297
00:15:09,650 --> 00:15:07,320
feet away that was a wonderful moment

298
00:15:11,389 --> 00:15:09,660
your wife Megan McArthur who flew on

299
00:15:13,430 --> 00:15:11,399
Crew 2 to the International Space

300
00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:13,440
Station following up your certification

301
00:15:17,449 --> 00:15:16,079
Mission yeah it was a a moment that we

302
00:15:19,250 --> 00:15:17,459
wanted our son to have a positive

303
00:15:22,189 --> 00:15:19,260
experience with and he certainly did

304
00:15:23,870 --> 00:15:22,199
again smiles and hugs and cheering and

305
00:15:25,850 --> 00:15:23,880
while we didn't hear the voices of the

306
00:15:27,530 --> 00:15:25,860
crew's uh families and guests as they

307
00:15:29,449 --> 00:15:27,540
walked out we did definitely hear that

308
00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:29,459
cheering when they got their chance to

309
00:15:32,449 --> 00:15:30,480
drive away

310
00:15:34,189 --> 00:15:32,459
and we continue to follow the Convoy

311
00:15:36,650 --> 00:15:34,199
from high above our flight operations

312
00:15:38,750 --> 00:15:36,660
team the helicopter crew getting a good

313
00:15:42,410 --> 00:15:38,760

00:16:00,050 --> 00:15:58,019
quality systems engineering manager here

320
00:16:01,670 --> 00:16:00,060
at SpaceX and I'm going to be bringing

321
00:16:04,069 --> 00:16:01,680
you live status updates from the launch

322
00:16:05,509 --> 00:16:04,079
teams uh this morning now for those

323
00:16:07,550 --> 00:16:05,519
following along with our launch

324
00:16:09,170 --> 00:16:07,560
preparations over the last week you'll

325
00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:09,180
know that we had a successful dress

326
00:16:13,850 --> 00:16:11,880
rehearsal a couple days ago that of our

327
00:16:16,490 --> 00:16:13,860
launch operations on October 2nd

328
00:16:19,189 --> 00:16:16,500
followed by a successful static fire of

329
00:16:21,410 --> 00:16:19,199
our nine Merlin 1D engines now fast

330
00:16:23,689 --> 00:16:21,420
forward a bit to this morning and we're

331
00:16:26,389 --> 00:16:23,699
coming up on there it is the T-minus 3

332
00:16:29,329 --> 00:16:26,399
hour and 12 minute Mark and so far all

333
00:16:31,250 --> 00:16:29,339
is going well for launch earlier in the

334
00:16:34,490 --> 00:16:31,260
night the team began clearing the hazard

335
00:16:37,490 --> 00:16:34,500
area and buildings around pad 39a known

336
00:16:39,889 --> 00:16:37,500
as the blast danger area or BDA as you

337
00:16:42,110 --> 00:16:39,899
might hear it called out today at T

338
00:16:44,449 --> 00:16:42,120
minus four hours there was a briefing by

339
00:16:46,249 --> 00:16:44,459
the SpaceX launch director and good news

340
00:16:48,829 --> 00:16:46,259
there is nothing significant to report

341
00:16:50,810 --> 00:16:48,839
on the rocket at this time the advanced

342
00:16:53,210 --> 00:16:50,820
team was also cleared to enter the pad

343
00:16:54,829 --> 00:16:53,220
and start prepping the vehicle for the

344
00:16:57,110 --> 00:16:54,839
crew's arrival which we're tracking

345
00:16:59,629 --> 00:16:57,120
there on screen and we're expecting them

346
00:17:03,230 --> 00:16:59,639
to arrive at about T minus two hours and

347
00:17:06,289 --> 00:17:03,240
55 minutes so just shortly coming up

348
00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:06,299
so uh the only people remaining on the

349
00:17:11,150 --> 00:17:08,160
pad at this point in time are those

350
00:17:13,069 --> 00:17:11,160
needed for Ingress of the astronauts at

351
00:17:15,289 --> 00:17:13,079
the launch pad Falcon 9 is powered on

352
00:17:17,809 --> 00:17:15,299
and we're currently monitoring Telemetry

353
00:17:19,909 --> 00:17:17,819
and pressurizing gas gas storage vessels

354
00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:19,919
engine and Stage checkouts were

355
00:17:23,870 --> 00:17:22,319
performed several hours ago on top of

356
00:17:26,210 --> 00:17:23,880
Falcon 9 of course we have the dragon

357
00:17:28,250 --> 00:17:26,220
spacecraft and it is ready for the crew

358
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:28,260
functional checkouts were performed and

359
00:17:32,030 --> 00:17:30,059
most recently the dragon propellant

360
00:17:34,370 --> 00:17:32,040
system was pressurized to final flight

361
00:17:36,590 --> 00:17:34,380
pressure and the side hatch has been

362
00:17:38,510 --> 00:17:36,600
opened by the advanced team so at this

363
00:17:41,450 --> 00:17:38,520
point in time I can report that all

364
00:17:43,789 --> 00:17:41,460
spacecraft systems are go and as for the

365
00:17:46,909 --> 00:17:43,799
range launch range is ready to support

366
00:17:49,010 --> 00:17:46,919
and working no issues at this time and

367
00:17:50,990 --> 00:17:49,020
as you have probably been following

368
00:17:53,150 --> 00:17:51,000
along we have been tracking the weather

369
00:17:55,070 --> 00:17:53,160
conditions carefully over the last week

370
00:17:57,409 --> 00:17:55,080
as we've dealt with the remnants of

371
00:17:59,930 --> 00:17:57,419
Hurricane Ian as you can see on your

372
00:18:01,909 --> 00:17:59,940
screen it's a gorgeous morning out there

373
00:18:04,070 --> 00:18:01,919
at Kennedy Space Center the weather the

374
00:18:06,850 --> 00:18:04,080
weather is cooperating as we count down

375
00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:06,860
to liftoff we have been tracking

376
00:18:13,970 --> 00:18:11,280
downed range winds that had been no go

377
00:18:16,310 --> 00:18:13,980
overnight but as of the T-minus six hour

378
00:18:18,590 --> 00:18:16,320
weather brief this morning it cleared

379
00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:18,600
and we were green there so everything is

380
00:18:22,789 --> 00:18:20,160
looking good for weather at this point

381
00:18:24,350 --> 00:18:22,799
but we will continue to monitor now with

382
00:18:27,409 --> 00:18:24,360
all that being said let's head back over

383
00:18:29,450 --> 00:18:27,419
to Daryl and Bob for another check-in

384
00:18:31,970 --> 00:18:29,460
from Kennedy all right thank you Kate

385
00:18:33,470 --> 00:18:31,980
and yes the weather here at Kennedy is

386
00:18:35,630 --> 00:18:33,480
nearly perfect for launch let's

387
00:18:37,250 --> 00:18:35,640
introduce you now to today's crew we

388
00:18:39,169 --> 00:18:37,260
begin with Nicole Mann the California

389
00:18:41,270 --> 00:18:39,179
Native holds a master of science in

390
00:18:42,890 --> 00:18:41,280
mechanical engineering and is a colonel

391
00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:42,900
in the Marine Corps the goal was

392
00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:45,600
selected by NASA in June 2013 and today

393
00:18:50,390 --> 00:18:47,760
the crew 5 Commander will be flying into

394
00:18:52,250 --> 00:18:50,400
space for the first time and once she

395
00:18:54,289 --> 00:18:52,260
reaches the space station she'll be the

396
00:18:57,350 --> 00:18:54,299
first Native of a Native American woman

397
00:18:59,990 --> 00:18:57,360
to stay on station sitting next to

398
00:19:02,090 --> 00:19:00,000
Nicole is Josh cassida he grew up in

399
00:19:05,150 --> 00:19:02,100
Bear Lake Minnesota the physicist and

400
00:19:07,250 --> 00:19:05,160
U.S Navy test pilot it flew 23 combat

401
00:19:09,650 --> 00:19:07,260
missions he later became an instructor

402
00:19:11,570 --> 00:19:09,660
at the U.S naval test pilot school and

403
00:19:13,070 --> 00:19:11,580
more recently he served as the capsule

404
00:19:16,190 --> 00:19:13,080
Communicator in mission control but

405
00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:16,200
today he's the pilot aboard dragon

406
00:19:20,330 --> 00:19:17,760
in the role of mission specialist is

407
00:19:23,150 --> 00:19:20,340
veteran Japanese astronaut koichi wakata

408
00:19:26,150 --> 00:19:23,160
altogether koichi flew four space

409
00:19:27,950 --> 00:19:26,160
shuttle missions a Ross Cosmos soyuz and

410
00:19:29,930 --> 00:19:27,960
was on a long duration stay aboard the

411
00:19:33,830 --> 00:19:29,940
International Space Station altogether

412
00:19:36,169 --> 00:19:33,840
koichi has spent 11 months in Space the

413
00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:36,179
veteran and the and the fourth member

414
00:19:41,029 --> 00:19:38,400
the second mission specialist is Ross

415
00:19:43,370 --> 00:19:41,039
Cosmos Cosmonaut Anna kikuna she

416
00:19:46,610 --> 00:19:43,380
graduated from the Nova sabersk State

417
00:19:48,830 --> 00:19:46,620
Academy of water transport in 2006. in

418
00:19:51,529 --> 00:19:48,840
2012 Anna officially became a candidate

419
00:19:53,330 --> 00:19:51,539
for the position of Tess Cosmonaut crew

420
00:19:55,250 --> 00:19:53,340
5 will be on his first flight into space

421
00:19:56,930 --> 00:19:55,260
as part of the recent resumption of

422
00:19:59,330 --> 00:19:56,940
integrated Crews on U.S Cruise

423
00:20:01,250 --> 00:19:59,340
spacecraft and the soyuz with the

424
00:20:03,830 --> 00:20:01,260
Russian State space Corporation Ross

425
00:20:08,630 --> 00:20:05,810
as part of integrated crew a week and a

426
00:20:10,850 --> 00:20:08,640
half ago NASA astronaut Frank Rubio flew

427
00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:10,860
to the ISS the board of soyuz flying

428
00:20:15,770 --> 00:20:13,440
integrated Crews ensures operational

429
00:20:17,570 --> 00:20:15,780
safety crew members on station are

430
00:20:19,310 --> 00:20:17,580
trained to do maintenance and spacewalks

431
00:20:22,370 --> 00:20:19,320
it also protects against contingencies

432
00:20:24,830 --> 00:20:22,380
such as problems that could arise on on

433
00:20:26,090 --> 00:20:24,840
the station serious medical issues or an

434
00:20:28,610 --> 00:20:26,100
emergency aboard the station that

435
00:20:30,590 --> 00:20:28,620
requires a crew and vehicle that they

436
00:20:32,630 --> 00:20:30,600
are assigned to return to Earth sooner

437
00:20:34,370 --> 00:20:32,640
than planned

438
00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:34,380
all right the crew taking a turn onto

439
00:20:38,090 --> 00:20:36,240
the Saturn Causeway

440
00:20:42,770 --> 00:20:38,100
and this is the road that leads to the

441
00:20:47,930 --> 00:20:44,990
which is notable Bob

442
00:20:51,529 --> 00:20:47,940
because the astronauts right now

443
00:20:53,510 --> 00:20:51,539
taking a similar path to Hurricane Ian

444
00:20:55,789 --> 00:20:53,520
as it crossed the state and came over

445
00:20:57,289 --> 00:20:55,799
our area

446
00:20:59,870 --> 00:20:57,299
that's the operations and support

447
00:21:01,310 --> 00:20:59,880
building behind it but then behind that

448
00:21:03,049 --> 00:21:01,320
going through here is the Vehicle

449
00:21:05,450 --> 00:21:03,059
Assembly Building and

450
00:21:07,549 --> 00:21:05,460
after studying studying the data we

451
00:21:10,789 --> 00:21:07,559
learned the storm took uh that similar

452
00:21:14,570 --> 00:21:10,799
path and as we widen out the view here

453
00:21:16,190 --> 00:21:14,580
you can see there it is the Artemis logo

454
00:21:17,570 --> 00:21:16,200
and a great shot of that Vehicle

455
00:21:22,370 --> 00:21:17,580
Assembly Building where the crew going

456
00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:24,529
now the crew 5 launch was delayed

457
00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:26,400
several days due to Hurricane Ian taking

458
00:21:30,710 --> 00:21:28,799
aim at Florida

459
00:21:33,529 --> 00:21:30,720
and after studying the data here's the

460
00:21:36,669 --> 00:21:33,539
path that we found it took take a look

461
00:21:39,710 --> 00:21:36,679
at this graphic put together by

462
00:21:42,289 --> 00:21:39,720
meteorologists with satellite data

463
00:21:43,850 --> 00:21:42,299
it shows the track through the state you

464
00:21:45,649 --> 00:21:43,860
can see the center of circulation of

465
00:21:47,450 --> 00:21:45,659
course the devastating impacts to the

466
00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:47,460
Fort Myers Beach area more than 100

467
00:21:50,810 --> 00:21:48,960
people killed

468
00:21:52,730 --> 00:21:50,820
and complete Devastation by the time

469
00:21:56,090 --> 00:21:52,740
across our area right there you can see

470
00:21:59,390 --> 00:21:56,100
it came out the other side on Florida

471
00:22:02,090 --> 00:21:59,400
between pad 39a and 39b

472
00:22:05,390 --> 00:22:02,100
and 39b is where we had our moon rocket

473
00:22:07,130 --> 00:22:05,400
the SLS and Orion spacecraft

474
00:22:10,190 --> 00:22:07,140
but officials here at Nasa and the

475
00:22:13,130 --> 00:22:10,200
launch team with SLS made the decision

476
00:22:17,149 --> 00:22:13,140
to move the SLS indoors and this is

477
00:22:19,549 --> 00:22:17,159
video from that day three days prior

478
00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:19,559
the mighty SLS and Orion spacecraft

479
00:22:24,110 --> 00:22:21,600
going into the shelter of the Vehicle

480
00:22:26,270 --> 00:22:24,120
Assembly Building as hurricane Ian

481
00:22:29,450 --> 00:22:26,280
passed overhead it's a Four Mile ten

482
00:22:33,470 --> 00:22:29,460
hour Trek it was that day

483
00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:33,480
and we got winds Bob over 96 knots at

484
00:22:37,909 --> 00:22:35,760
the top of one of the lightning Towers

485
00:22:39,169 --> 00:22:37,919
out at pad 39b so certainly the winds

486
00:22:42,289 --> 00:22:39,179
were whipping

487
00:22:44,270 --> 00:22:42,299
up high and down below around 60 knots

488
00:22:46,490 --> 00:22:44,280
it was a good move to put that rocket in

489
00:22:48,649 --> 00:22:46,500
the shelter yes it's just remarkable to

490
00:22:50,210 --> 00:22:48,659
kind of have seen the pack track of the

491
00:22:52,070 --> 00:22:50,220
storm have it come right through the

492
00:22:53,510 --> 00:22:52,080
Kennedy Space Center and to be sitting

493
00:23:01,490 --> 00:22:53,520
here just a couple of days later getting

494
00:23:06,470 --> 00:23:04,190
so now we await a new launch date for

495
00:23:11,810 --> 00:23:06,480
Artemis which we know is going to be

496
00:23:16,669 --> 00:23:14,390
and the astronauts just passing the

497
00:23:18,049 --> 00:23:16,679
Vehicle Assembly Building crew 4 when

498
00:23:20,210 --> 00:23:18,059
they were here the rocket was out on the

499
00:23:21,470 --> 00:23:20,220
pad and they got to actually go out and

500
00:23:22,730 --> 00:23:21,480
get a tour

501
00:23:24,710 --> 00:23:22,740
this team

502
00:23:26,750 --> 00:23:24,720
getting to drive by that rocket and

503
00:23:28,130 --> 00:23:26,760
certainly astronauts must be thinking

504
00:23:31,669 --> 00:23:28,140
about

505
00:23:34,070 --> 00:23:31,679
that mission right Artemis one two and

506
00:23:36,590 --> 00:23:34,080
three going on a test flight out to the

507
00:23:38,270 --> 00:23:36,600
moon and then ultimately Landing back on

508
00:23:39,890 --> 00:23:38,280
the moon to establish

509
00:23:42,350 --> 00:23:39,900
more of a permanent presence there

510
00:23:44,690 --> 00:23:42,360
absolutely Daryl it's a super exciting

511
00:23:46,130 --> 00:23:44,700
time from an astronaut perspective as

512
00:23:47,330 --> 00:23:46,140
you know we still have missions headed

513
00:23:50,029 --> 00:23:47,340
to the International Space Station

514
00:23:52,370 --> 00:23:50,039
taking Crews up both on the soyuz rocket

515
00:23:54,230 --> 00:23:52,380
and on the the Falcon 9 and the dragon

516
00:23:56,390 --> 00:23:54,240
at this time we look forward to seeing

517
00:23:57,830 --> 00:23:56,400
the Starliner vehicle make its arrival

518
00:24:00,529 --> 00:23:57,840
on board the International Space Station

519
00:24:02,270 --> 00:24:00,539
as well but Orion with the Artemis

520
00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:02,280
missions that are upcoming is just an

521
00:24:07,909 --> 00:24:04,320
exciting time returning to the Moon is

522
00:24:13,130 --> 00:24:09,470
and there they are making the right hand

523
00:24:17,210 --> 00:24:13,140
turn to go towards pad 39a

524
00:24:20,690 --> 00:24:19,070
as well as

525
00:24:24,350 --> 00:24:20,700
the launch Tower

526
00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:28,130
a brand new booster

527
00:24:31,970 --> 00:24:30,289
and the Good Ship endurance as you would

528
00:24:33,770 --> 00:24:31,980
say Bob

529
00:24:35,570 --> 00:24:33,780
on its second flight on its second

530
00:24:38,029 --> 00:24:35,580
flight you know this is the time for

531
00:24:39,890 --> 00:24:38,039
that uh that slow ride song probably to

532
00:24:41,750 --> 00:24:39,900
kind of play back for the crew you know

533
00:24:44,090 --> 00:24:41,760
Doug and I had our waiting room music

534
00:24:46,970 --> 00:24:44,100
our elevator music to kind of pass the

535
00:24:48,409 --> 00:24:46,980
time uh the crew's of course excited for

536
00:24:50,149 --> 00:24:48,419
the mission in front of them but they've

537
00:24:51,770 --> 00:24:50,159
got to wait for the actual time to

538
00:24:54,289 --> 00:24:51,780
launch into space

539
00:24:57,289 --> 00:24:54,299
and this is a great shot uh point of

540
00:24:58,909 --> 00:24:57,299
view camera from the lead Tesla looking

541
00:25:01,010 --> 00:24:58,919
at the security vehicle in the front you

542
00:25:04,909 --> 00:25:01,020
can see there the launch pad to the left

543
00:25:07,970 --> 00:25:04,919
as that rocket gets closer and closer

544
00:25:10,190 --> 00:25:07,980
and I wonder Bob at what point do you

545
00:25:11,630 --> 00:25:10,200
do you start to feel some nerves kick in

546
00:25:13,430 --> 00:25:11,640
because there's this excitement as

547
00:25:15,409 --> 00:25:13,440
you've described but then also

548
00:25:16,970 --> 00:25:15,419
especially for your flight being the

549
00:25:18,830 --> 00:25:16,980
first one there must have been some

550
00:25:20,570 --> 00:25:18,840
nerves you know there's definitely some

551
00:25:22,789 --> 00:25:20,580
nervousness associated with launching

552
00:25:25,070 --> 00:25:22,799
into space the crew gets a lot of

553
00:25:26,750 --> 00:25:25,080
training and and and it from an

554
00:25:28,909 --> 00:25:26,760
experienced perspective they try to

555
00:25:31,010 --> 00:25:28,919
check off as many blocks as they can so

556
00:25:32,750 --> 00:25:31,020
that uh that nervousness is something at

557
00:25:34,610 --> 00:25:32,760
least that they're familiar with and so

558
00:25:37,250 --> 00:25:34,620
for Doug and I you know we had made this

559
00:25:38,810 --> 00:25:37,260
ride before as a shuttle crew members we

560
00:25:40,610 --> 00:25:38,820
climbed up to the launch pad as shuttle

561
00:25:42,529 --> 00:25:40,620
crew members that wasn't new it was

562
00:25:44,450 --> 00:25:42,539
really the fueling operation for us

563
00:25:46,370 --> 00:25:44,460
where we really felt like we were doing

564
00:25:48,789 --> 00:25:46,380
something new and that nervousness

565
00:25:51,890 --> 00:25:48,799
started to kick in

566
00:25:55,010 --> 00:25:51,900
interesting because yes that's a

567
00:25:57,169 --> 00:25:55,020
an operation unique to SpaceX

568
00:25:59,149 --> 00:25:57,179
yes the fueling of the rocket with the

569
00:26:01,610 --> 00:25:59,159
crew on board is something that was new

570
00:26:02,990 --> 00:26:01,620
with the Falcon 9 rocket and it's a new

571
00:26:04,970 --> 00:26:03,000
from a crew from an astronaut

572
00:26:07,130 --> 00:26:04,980
perspective from our experience base but

573
00:26:08,930 --> 00:26:07,140
uh they've managed to accomplish it uh

574
00:26:10,549 --> 00:26:08,940
super successfully

575
00:26:12,649 --> 00:26:10,559
there you see the security vehicle

576
00:26:15,470 --> 00:26:12,659
pauses comes off to the side and the

577
00:26:17,870 --> 00:26:15,480
Tesla vehicles roll on along with the

578
00:26:20,690 --> 00:26:17,880
mrap in tow

579
00:26:23,930 --> 00:26:20,700
and this Begins the part of a really

580
00:26:26,269 --> 00:26:23,940
neat experience going up the slow grade

581
00:26:28,490 --> 00:26:26,279
as they pass the security checkpoint and

582
00:26:31,850 --> 00:26:28,500
into the blast danger area this is area

583
00:26:35,029 --> 00:26:31,860
only for the astronauts and the advanced

584
00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:35,039
team as well as the closeout crew it's a

585
00:26:38,990 --> 00:26:36,240
restricted area

586
00:26:40,970 --> 00:26:39,000
and you go up that slow Hill and you're

587
00:26:42,710 --> 00:26:40,980
looking right at that rocket you know

588
00:26:45,289 --> 00:26:42,720
Daryl as you make your way to the launch

589
00:26:47,390 --> 00:26:45,299
pad you kind of go through layers if you

590
00:26:48,590 --> 00:26:47,400
will of people that can be near you so

591
00:26:50,269 --> 00:26:48,600
whether that's your family and your

592
00:26:52,490 --> 00:26:50,279
guests when you're back at the onc

593
00:26:54,169 --> 00:26:52,500
building but as you make your way to the

594
00:26:55,909 --> 00:26:54,179
pad surface there are these Milestones

595
00:26:58,310 --> 00:26:55,919
that you get past where you become more

596
00:27:00,470 --> 00:26:58,320
and more alone on your ride into orbit

597
00:27:02,390 --> 00:27:00,480
and so heading up this hill to the

598
00:27:04,490 --> 00:27:02,400
launch pad surface it's definitely a

599
00:27:07,909 --> 00:27:04,500
smaller group and that group continues

600
00:27:10,610 --> 00:27:07,919
to shrink all the way to hatch closure

601
00:27:13,310 --> 00:27:10,620
and in your case until it was just you

602
00:27:16,430 --> 00:27:13,320
and Doug Hurley that's true it was just

603
00:27:18,110 --> 00:27:16,440
a Doug and I and of course all the

604
00:27:20,450 --> 00:27:18,120
support team that's reaching out to you

605
00:27:21,590 --> 00:27:20,460
via the radio to make sure that they're

606
00:27:23,390 --> 00:27:21,600
watching over and making sure that

607
00:27:25,130 --> 00:27:23,400
you're ready to head off into space but

608
00:27:28,370 --> 00:27:25,140
it was definitely Doug and I alone with

609
00:27:33,409 --> 00:27:30,950
these four crew 5 astronauts now

610
00:27:35,269 --> 00:27:33,419
actually on the pad surface as you can

611
00:27:37,190 --> 00:27:35,279
see them driving onto it there's a track

612
00:27:39,950 --> 00:27:37,200
that they just came over that goes

613
00:27:42,649 --> 00:27:39,960
around the launch pad that's a

614
00:27:44,390 --> 00:27:42,659
A Relic from the space shuttle era as

615
00:27:46,430 --> 00:27:44,400
well as the Apollo

616
00:27:48,350 --> 00:27:46,440
there's the base of the rocket and get

617
00:27:50,630 --> 00:27:48,360
ahead the elevators to the launch tower

618
00:27:53,269 --> 00:27:50,640
that will take them up to the top of the

619
00:27:54,529 --> 00:27:53,279
crew access arm and allow them to make

620
00:28:02,090 --> 00:27:54,539
entryway

621
00:28:06,350 --> 00:28:04,250
and at T minus two hours and 55 minutes

622
00:28:08,210 --> 00:28:06,360
we'll get that announcement

623
00:28:12,350 --> 00:28:08,220
if the crew has arrived so they're a

624
00:28:15,890 --> 00:28:14,090
it's always best to be a little bit

625
00:28:18,169 --> 00:28:15,900
early if you can for each of these major

626
00:28:20,029 --> 00:28:18,179
events of course and so for them to

627
00:28:23,870 --> 00:28:20,039
arrive when they're supposed to be there

628
00:28:28,789 --> 00:28:23,880
is of course T minus three hours a crew

629
00:28:31,970 --> 00:28:30,890
and so the crews arrived at the pad of

630
00:28:33,769 --> 00:28:31,980
course they'll have a couple of

631
00:28:35,330 --> 00:28:33,779
opportunities to pause as they make

632
00:28:37,970 --> 00:28:35,340
their way up there'll be some photo

633
00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:37,980
opportunities for them to take a mental

634
00:28:42,289 --> 00:28:40,320
picture of the rocket itself look up

635
00:28:44,090 --> 00:28:42,299
from below before they climb into the

636
00:28:46,490 --> 00:28:44,100
capsule

637
00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:46,500
now crew 5 is NASA and spacex's fifth

638
00:28:50,510 --> 00:28:48,240
crew rotation to the International Space

639
00:28:52,250 --> 00:28:50,520
Station since 2020

640
00:28:54,649 --> 00:28:52,260
the successful NASA program is called

641
00:28:56,990 --> 00:28:54,659
commercial crew it's based right here at

642
00:28:59,690 --> 00:28:57,000
the Kennedy Space Center

643
00:29:01,909 --> 00:28:59,700
time now to join Megan Cruz she is live

644
00:29:04,010 --> 00:29:01,919
on top of the operations and support

645
00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:04,020
building number two

646
00:29:08,690 --> 00:29:06,000
was one of the leaders of this program

647
00:29:10,730 --> 00:29:08,700
Megan Daryl thank you so much yes we are

648
00:29:12,830 --> 00:29:10,740
here with Phil McAllister director of

649
00:29:14,390 --> 00:29:12,840
NASA's commercial space division fell

650
00:29:16,310 --> 00:29:14,400
we're so happy to have you here thank

651
00:29:18,049 --> 00:29:16,320
you happy to be here well today you know

652
00:29:20,750 --> 00:29:18,059
we just saw the crew arrive at the pad

653
00:29:23,210 --> 00:29:20,760
this is NASA's crew five

654
00:29:24,769 --> 00:29:23,220
um uh with SpaceX how has working with

655
00:29:25,789 --> 00:29:24,779
these commercial companies benefited

656
00:29:27,830 --> 00:29:25,799
NASA

657
00:29:30,049 --> 00:29:27,840
so we both benefit I think that's what's

658
00:29:32,269 --> 00:29:30,059
key with these Partnerships obviously

659
00:29:33,889 --> 00:29:32,279
SpaceX benefits from our 50 years of

660
00:29:35,450 --> 00:29:33,899
human space flight experience but we

661
00:29:38,210 --> 00:29:35,460
also benefit by seeing these commercial

662
00:29:40,970 --> 00:29:38,220
companies and how they do business and

663
00:29:42,529 --> 00:29:40,980
how Innovative they can be and we find

664
00:29:44,750 --> 00:29:42,539
there's new ways of doing things that

665
00:29:46,730 --> 00:29:44,760
maybe we haven't thought of so I I see

666
00:29:48,529 --> 00:29:46,740
the partnership as benefit benefiting

667
00:29:50,049 --> 00:29:48,539
both groups it's kind of like when we

668
00:29:52,250 --> 00:29:50,059
first started working with the Russians

669
00:29:54,289 --> 00:29:52,260
they had a very different way of doing

670
00:29:56,630 --> 00:29:54,299
business and I think both programs

671
00:29:57,950 --> 00:29:56,640
benefited from that experience right but

672
00:30:00,710 --> 00:29:57,960
it's not just the commercial crew

673
00:30:02,870 --> 00:30:00,720
program how else have we fostered

674
00:30:05,210 --> 00:30:02,880
commercial space and sending more people

675
00:30:06,289 --> 00:30:05,220
and science to low earth orbit well I

676
00:30:09,970 --> 00:30:06,299
think it all started with the commercial

677
00:30:12,710 --> 00:30:09,980
cargo program in 2005 that was the first

678
00:30:13,970 --> 00:30:12,720
I think real commercial partnership that

679
00:30:15,889 --> 00:30:13,980
we had certainly on the human space

680
00:30:18,350 --> 00:30:15,899
flight side so then we had this cargo

681
00:30:20,870 --> 00:30:18,360
capability and then we Advanced that to

682
00:30:22,310 --> 00:30:20,880
crew and now we can launch people to low

683
00:30:23,630 --> 00:30:22,320
earth orbit and the International Space

684
00:30:24,889 --> 00:30:23,640
Station and the thing that we have on

685
00:30:27,529 --> 00:30:24,899
our Horizon the thing that I'm working

686
00:30:29,149 --> 00:30:27,539
on right now is destinations or

687
00:30:30,649 --> 00:30:29,159
commercial space stations we know the

688
00:30:33,710 --> 00:30:30,659
space station the International Space

689
00:30:36,169 --> 00:30:33,720
Station is going to be retired in 2030.

690
00:30:38,450 --> 00:30:36,179
we need to have continuous access to

691
00:30:40,549 --> 00:30:38,460
space and a destination to go to so now

692
00:30:41,990 --> 00:30:40,559
we want commercial companies to build a

693
00:30:44,149 --> 00:30:42,000
private space station where we can just

694
00:30:45,950 --> 00:30:44,159
be one of many customers yeah and to

695
00:30:48,409 --> 00:30:45,960
that end what are we doing to encourage

696
00:30:51,190 --> 00:30:48,419
that we have four agreements and

697
00:30:53,930 --> 00:30:51,200
contracts with companies now Axiom space

698
00:30:55,909 --> 00:30:53,940
nanoracks blue origin and Northrop

699
00:30:58,250 --> 00:30:55,919
Grumman they all have different concepts

700
00:31:00,350 --> 00:30:58,260
and they all have different

701
00:31:01,970 --> 00:31:00,360
Transportation modes and they all are

702
00:31:03,769 --> 00:31:01,980
kind of targeting different markets so

703
00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:03,779
it's really interesting this is sort of

704
00:31:07,549 --> 00:31:05,760
the early development time and I think

705
00:31:09,889 --> 00:31:07,559
things will shake out I don't think

706
00:31:13,370 --> 00:31:09,899
we'll have a big enough market to keep

707
00:31:15,409 --> 00:31:13,380
four space stations on orbit so this is

708
00:31:17,630 --> 00:31:15,419
the time when they innovate and they're

709
00:31:19,310 --> 00:31:17,640
competing and it's kind of cool to see

710
00:31:21,409 --> 00:31:19,320
each one of these stations and how they

711
00:31:23,630 --> 00:31:21,419
develop and again why is this important

712
00:31:25,310 --> 00:31:23,640
to us why do we want to be one of many

713
00:31:27,230 --> 00:31:25,320
customers in low Earth so I think

714
00:31:28,909 --> 00:31:27,240
there's lots of reasons number one when

715
00:31:30,289 --> 00:31:28,919
we first still started building the

716
00:31:32,269 --> 00:31:30,299
International Space Station there wasn't

717
00:31:34,610 --> 00:31:32,279
any other space stations that we could

718
00:31:37,070 --> 00:31:34,620
use at that time so NASA had to build it

719
00:31:39,409 --> 00:31:37,080
but today we can leverage private sector

720
00:31:41,210 --> 00:31:39,419
Investments because there are other

721
00:31:43,010 --> 00:31:41,220
customers other than NASA who want to go

722
00:31:45,409 --> 00:31:43,020
to low earth orbit and either for

723
00:31:47,810 --> 00:31:45,419
science or just to look out the window

724
00:31:49,250 --> 00:31:47,820
or whatever for whatever reason so we

725
00:31:51,769 --> 00:31:49,260
can take advantage of that we don't have

726
00:31:53,990 --> 00:31:51,779
to pay for the entire infrastructure we

727
00:31:57,169 --> 00:31:54,000
can just be a customer and just pay our

728
00:31:58,909 --> 00:31:57,179
own sort of uh fare for what we do and

729
00:32:00,830 --> 00:31:58,919
so it's more beneficial for NASA and

730
00:32:03,470 --> 00:32:00,840
then we can take that savings and put it

731
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:03,480
in into our moon Mars initiative I

732
00:32:08,330 --> 00:32:06,779
really feel like the Artemis Mission the

733
00:32:10,070 --> 00:32:08,340
SLS and the Orion that was on the pad

734
00:32:11,930 --> 00:32:10,080
and we will hopefully launch next month

735
00:32:13,909 --> 00:32:11,940
I don't think it would be as far along

736
00:32:15,230 --> 00:32:13,919
as it is today if it weren't for our

737
00:32:17,510 --> 00:32:15,240
commercial Partnerships because they

738
00:32:19,130 --> 00:32:17,520
helped save us money and we could take

739
00:32:20,930 --> 00:32:19,140
that savings and put it into our deep

740
00:32:22,250 --> 00:32:20,940
space exploration program yeah and you

741
00:32:23,870 --> 00:32:22,260
said personally this is what you've been

742
00:32:25,430 --> 00:32:23,880
working on for years now how does it

743
00:32:27,470 --> 00:32:25,440
make you feel knowing that as you just

744
00:32:29,330 --> 00:32:27,480
said you know the the success we've had

745
00:32:31,070 --> 00:32:29,340
with commercial space is really fueling

746
00:32:33,830 --> 00:32:31,080
what what we will see in the future with

747
00:32:35,210 --> 00:32:33,840
NASA it's been very gratifying I have to

748
00:32:38,269 --> 00:32:35,220
say you know when we were first starting

749
00:32:39,970 --> 00:32:38,279
out I had to say I think this will work

750
00:32:43,010 --> 00:32:39,980
I think this is going to be a better way

751
00:32:45,110 --> 00:32:43,020
to do this particular Mission but I

752
00:32:46,970 --> 00:32:45,120
didn't have any proof but then in 2012

753
00:32:48,169 --> 00:32:46,980
we launched the first Falcon to the

754
00:32:50,450 --> 00:32:48,179
International Space Station for the

755
00:32:53,149 --> 00:32:50,460
cargo program that showed that the model

756
00:32:54,889 --> 00:32:53,159
could work and then in 2020 we had Bob

757
00:32:56,389 --> 00:32:54,899
and Doug who flew on the demo 2 mission

758
00:32:59,450 --> 00:32:56,399
went to the International Space Station

759
00:33:01,310 --> 00:32:59,460
that was just uh it was just an amazing

760
00:33:03,049 --> 00:33:01,320
Mission it was great yeah yeah and Bob

761
00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:03,059
we have he's co-hosting the show today

762
00:33:06,649 --> 00:33:04,559
so that's full circle how we're coming

763
00:33:09,049 --> 00:33:06,659
here can you imagine it's crew five and

764
00:33:10,909 --> 00:33:09,059
just uh a couple of years ago we had Bob

765
00:33:12,350 --> 00:33:10,919
flying for the first time with Doug I

766
00:33:13,850 --> 00:33:12,360
know it is amazing I was just telling

767
00:33:14,990 --> 00:33:13,860
some of my relatives I was like oh this

768
00:33:17,570 --> 00:33:15,000
is the fifth one and they're like what

769
00:33:20,029 --> 00:33:17,580
how did it happen so fast and we go

770
00:33:21,649 --> 00:33:20,039
every six months and so we tend to

771
00:33:23,090 --> 00:33:21,659
accumulate missions and so we're putting

772
00:33:24,409 --> 00:33:23,100
the plaques on the wall outside my

773
00:33:25,610 --> 00:33:24,419
office and it's getting pretty full and

774
00:33:26,990 --> 00:33:25,620
that's pretty nice to see that's

775
00:33:28,190 --> 00:33:27,000
absolutely great thank you so much Phil

776
00:33:30,529 --> 00:33:28,200
for being here and I can't wait to watch

777
00:33:32,269 --> 00:33:30,539
the launch of you thanks so much back to

778
00:33:34,070 --> 00:33:32,279
you guys thank you Megan T-minus two

779
00:33:36,110 --> 00:33:34,080
hours and 54 minutes and Counting and

780
00:33:38,450 --> 00:33:36,120
you must hear that a lot Bob but the

781
00:33:40,789 --> 00:33:38,460
people who so many people were watching

782
00:33:42,889 --> 00:33:40,799
and following uh your mission since it

783
00:33:45,409 --> 00:33:42,899
was a historic first and kind of feel an

784
00:33:47,630 --> 00:33:45,419
attachment uh to what you did that day

785
00:33:49,250 --> 00:33:47,640
yeah it was an exciting time of course I

786
00:33:51,590 --> 00:33:49,260
think it was a little bit strained with

787
00:33:53,269 --> 00:33:51,600
the covid situation and folks kind of at

788
00:33:55,370 --> 00:33:53,279
home watching kind of electronically

789
00:33:57,889 --> 00:33:55,380
rather than in person here at the

790
00:33:59,330 --> 00:33:57,899
causeway potentially and so uh a lot

791
00:34:01,370 --> 00:33:59,340
folk a lot of folks watch the mission

792
00:34:03,110 --> 00:34:01,380
and with the Bob and the Doug and space

793
00:34:04,669 --> 00:34:03,120
dads I think they made a connection and

794
00:34:06,889 --> 00:34:04,679
and they appreciated you know just being

795
00:34:09,349 --> 00:34:06,899
a part of it Doug and Bob and Bob and

796
00:34:10,970 --> 00:34:09,359
Doug and their Excellent Adventure I

797
00:34:12,349 --> 00:34:10,980
don't know about all that but we had a

798
00:34:13,970 --> 00:34:12,359
wonderful experience on board the

799
00:34:16,490 --> 00:34:13,980
International Space Station and it was

800
00:34:19,550 --> 00:34:16,500
wonderful to watch and Chronicle as you

801
00:34:22,070 --> 00:34:19,560
guys went along got to the space station

802
00:34:23,810 --> 00:34:22,080
and came back safely

803
00:34:26,149 --> 00:34:23,820
and we see some beautiful shots from

804
00:34:27,829 --> 00:34:26,159
high above the weather

805
00:34:30,169 --> 00:34:27,839
I mentioned at the beginning less than

806
00:34:33,230 --> 00:34:30,179
uh 10 chance of violating we've got

807
00:34:34,369 --> 00:34:33,240
onshore breezes here that are kicking up

808
00:34:36,829 --> 00:34:34,379
some waves

809
00:34:39,109 --> 00:34:36,839
that's some rough surf conditions that

810
00:34:40,849 --> 00:34:39,119
of course no impact to the launch today

811
00:34:43,669 --> 00:34:40,859
but uh

812
00:34:45,109 --> 00:34:43,679
you can see the flags flying and the

813
00:34:46,669 --> 00:34:45,119
clock ticking down

814
00:34:49,250 --> 00:34:46,679
if you're just joining us you're

815
00:34:51,889 --> 00:34:49,260
watching live coverage of SpaceX Mission

816
00:34:54,050 --> 00:34:51,899
known as crew 5. as we watch the first

817
00:34:55,490 --> 00:34:54,060
two astronauts walk out onto the pad

818
00:34:57,589 --> 00:34:55,500
surface

819
00:34:59,630 --> 00:34:57,599
getting ready to do

820
00:35:01,690 --> 00:34:59,640
what and I have to admit this is I have

821
00:35:04,730 --> 00:35:01,700
to attribute this the rocket recline

822
00:35:06,829 --> 00:35:04,740
there it is I like the way they did it

823
00:35:07,970 --> 00:35:06,839
kind of in coordination as well I think

824
00:35:09,950 --> 00:35:07,980
that was something that Doug and I

825
00:35:12,290 --> 00:35:09,960
didn't quite nail on the demo II Mission

826
00:35:14,390 --> 00:35:12,300
but I appreciate them getting it sorted

827
00:35:16,970 --> 00:35:14,400
out by crew five that was commander

828
00:35:18,349 --> 00:35:16,980
Nicole Mann and pilot Josh cassida that

829
00:35:21,710 --> 00:35:18,359
just took that look up and I mentioned

830
00:35:23,630 --> 00:35:21,720
the attribution that was uh our voice of

831
00:35:25,310 --> 00:35:23,640
Mission Control Rob navius came up with

832
00:35:27,230 --> 00:35:25,320
that phrase so got to give him credit

833
00:35:28,790 --> 00:35:27,240
for that the rocket recline we'll get

834
00:35:30,650 --> 00:35:28,800
the next two Mission Specialists who

835
00:35:32,569 --> 00:35:30,660
will do the same move but for now

836
00:35:35,329 --> 00:35:32,579
they'll go into the elevator the same

837
00:35:37,910 --> 00:35:35,339
elevator Bob that you rode on two

838
00:35:39,109 --> 00:35:37,920
missions aboard the space shuttle and

839
00:35:41,569 --> 00:35:39,119
crew dragon

840
00:35:44,810 --> 00:35:41,579
that's true Daryl that that elevator

841
00:35:46,970 --> 00:35:44,820
there on the 39 Alpha launch pad is just

842
00:35:48,710 --> 00:35:46,980
a a wonderful experience to kind of be

843
00:35:51,589 --> 00:35:48,720
able to bring it back into the game and

844
00:35:53,630 --> 00:35:51,599
be able to fly kind of if you will uh

845
00:35:56,089 --> 00:35:53,640
slowly up to the pad surface before

846
00:35:57,470 --> 00:35:56,099
making a Stairway walk up to the actual

847
00:35:59,030 --> 00:35:57,480
location where you walk out to the

848
00:36:01,069 --> 00:35:59,040
Dragon capsule

849
00:36:03,050 --> 00:36:01,079
and there we see the

850
00:36:05,630 --> 00:36:03,060
top of the elevators well where they'll

851
00:36:07,310 --> 00:36:05,640
walk out and uh this is something that

852
00:36:09,290 --> 00:36:07,320
they have rehearsed a few times

853
00:36:10,730 --> 00:36:09,300
certainly we were here when they

854
00:36:14,569 --> 00:36:10,740
rehearsed it the other day during what's

855
00:36:17,990 --> 00:36:16,190
yeah the crew has been through this

856
00:36:19,970 --> 00:36:18,000
before and like I mentioned a little bit

857
00:36:21,650 --> 00:36:19,980
earlier it is really important to kind

858
00:36:24,109 --> 00:36:21,660
of get the nervousness out to have done

859
00:36:26,630 --> 00:36:24,119
these operations uh once before we can

860
00:36:27,710 --> 00:36:26,640
see uh Nicole and and Josh there as

861
00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:27,720
they've made their way out of the

862
00:36:31,609 --> 00:36:29,280
elevator they'll walk around the back

863
00:36:33,650 --> 00:36:31,619
and make their way up the stairs to the

864
00:36:35,210 --> 00:36:33,660
actual walkout area where they'll

865
00:36:37,130 --> 00:36:35,220
potentially have a chance to make a

866
00:36:39,410 --> 00:36:37,140
phone call reach out to their family one

867
00:36:41,150 --> 00:36:39,420
more time before heading out to the

868
00:36:42,050 --> 00:36:41,160
white room itself and climbing into the

869
00:36:44,390 --> 00:36:42,060
ship

870
00:36:46,609 --> 00:36:44,400
and the closeout team right behind him

871
00:36:48,109 --> 00:36:46,619
from SpaceX as they greet some of the

872
00:36:50,510 --> 00:36:48,119
members of that team with some fist

873
00:36:53,089 --> 00:36:50,520
bumps

874
00:36:55,670 --> 00:36:53,099
the telephone you mentioned Bob is there

875
00:36:59,150 --> 00:36:55,680
on the right hand side of that uh that

876
00:37:01,010 --> 00:36:59,160
hallway there but uh what I notice is

877
00:37:03,470 --> 00:37:01,020
the astronauts tend to pause right about

878
00:37:06,170 --> 00:37:03,480
here because it looks like that is a

879
00:37:07,670 --> 00:37:06,180
spectacular view it is still it is their

880
00:37:08,990 --> 00:37:07,680
chance of course you know that you've

881
00:37:10,430 --> 00:37:09,000
mentioned the rocket recline where

882
00:37:12,170 --> 00:37:10,440
they're able to look up at the rocket

883
00:37:13,550 --> 00:37:12,180
they're kind of co-level with the

884
00:37:15,829 --> 00:37:13,560
vehicle at this point they're able to

885
00:37:18,770 --> 00:37:15,839
look out see the ocean see the rocket

886
00:37:20,630 --> 00:37:18,780
see the capsule itself before

887
00:37:23,089 --> 00:37:20,640
getting ready to kind of take that next

888
00:37:25,370 --> 00:37:23,099
step and head into the vehicle and there

889
00:37:27,349 --> 00:37:25,380
you see one of the astronauts doing just

890
00:37:31,310 --> 00:37:27,359
that

891
00:37:33,950 --> 00:37:31,320
to the right they are looking out over

892
00:37:36,230 --> 00:37:33,960
launch complex 39a and the Space Coast

893
00:37:37,670 --> 00:37:36,240
no doubt having a view that is similar

894
00:37:40,910 --> 00:37:37,680
to this

895
00:37:44,690 --> 00:37:40,920
from our flight Ops Team here at Kennedy

896
00:37:47,930 --> 00:37:46,609
on the left on the left there you've got

897
00:37:49,910 --> 00:37:47,940
the launch Tower

898
00:37:52,430 --> 00:37:49,920
and that is the crew access arm that

899
00:37:56,569 --> 00:37:52,440
Bridges the gap between the launch Tower

900
00:38:00,530 --> 00:37:58,730
and you can see Daryl the second two

901
00:38:02,390 --> 00:38:00,540
crew members getting ready to do their

902
00:38:04,550 --> 00:38:02,400
rocket recline if you will and get a

903
00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:04,560
chance to look up at the vehicle I know

904
00:38:08,329 --> 00:38:06,240
they're excited to get their chance to

905
00:38:11,150 --> 00:38:08,339
climb in and strap down not quite as

906
00:38:13,010 --> 00:38:11,160
perfect and in sync as uh as Josh and

907
00:38:16,069 --> 00:38:13,020
Nicole were but they did a great job

908
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:16,079
again better than Bob and Doug so

909
00:38:20,450 --> 00:38:18,180
better than Bob and Doug

910
00:38:23,510 --> 00:38:20,460
but not quitely as tightly choreographed

911
00:38:26,270 --> 00:38:23,520
as Nicole and Josh they nailed him

912
00:38:28,250 --> 00:38:26,280
nonetheless they get a great View

913
00:38:30,349 --> 00:38:28,260
right before they make their way into

914
00:38:31,849 --> 00:38:30,359
their spacecraft

915
00:38:34,190 --> 00:38:31,859
that will ultimately take them into

916
00:38:35,810 --> 00:38:34,200
space we've got a split screen now the

917
00:38:37,970 --> 00:38:35,820
two Mission Specialists on the left and

918
00:38:44,470 --> 00:38:37,980
to the right we're tracking our pilot

919
00:38:49,970 --> 00:38:47,750
now they stagger the astronauts

920
00:38:51,470 --> 00:38:49,980
in this fashion

921
00:38:55,069 --> 00:38:51,480
because everything is highly

922
00:38:57,470 --> 00:38:55,079
proceduralized right as they go through

923
00:39:00,050 --> 00:38:57,480
the lines check off the the mission

924
00:39:01,670 --> 00:39:00,060
milestones and then also it's carefully

925
00:39:04,069 --> 00:39:01,680
choreographed because you want to have

926
00:39:06,050 --> 00:39:04,079
everybody being orderly as they get into

927
00:39:08,270 --> 00:39:06,060
the spacecraft absolutely Daryl there's

928
00:39:10,849 --> 00:39:08,280
a well choreographed checklist that the

929
00:39:12,650 --> 00:39:10,859
SpaceX team has on their tablets as they

930
00:39:14,630 --> 00:39:12,660
follow along with the crew accomplishing

931
00:39:16,670 --> 00:39:14,640
the steps in front of them but remember

932
00:39:18,410 --> 00:39:16,680
there's just a single hatchway and they

933
00:39:20,030 --> 00:39:18,420
need to go in in sequence and it

934
00:39:22,490 --> 00:39:20,040
wouldn't be helpful for all four of them

935
00:39:24,290 --> 00:39:22,500
to be there at the same time so we do

936
00:39:26,030 --> 00:39:24,300
bring them in in sequence and Nicole

937
00:39:28,310 --> 00:39:26,040
boarding first followed by the rest of

938
00:39:31,609 --> 00:39:28,320
the crew looking at the launch Tower

939
00:39:34,130 --> 00:39:31,619
there pad 39a Bob this is the same

940
00:39:36,530 --> 00:39:34,140
launch tower that launched the space

941
00:39:38,329 --> 00:39:36,540
shuttle it's been of course renovated by

942
00:39:40,069 --> 00:39:38,339
SpaceX they've made a lot of

943
00:39:42,950 --> 00:39:40,079
improvements in order to accommodate the

944
00:39:45,410 --> 00:39:42,960
Falcon 9 but it also has some throwback

945
00:39:48,050 --> 00:39:45,420
to the shuttle era and there's part of

946
00:39:50,089 --> 00:39:48,060
the the fixed service structure that's

947
00:39:53,210 --> 00:39:50,099
still a part of that structure today

948
00:39:55,430 --> 00:39:53,220
that's true Daryl the 39 Alpha launch

949
00:39:58,250 --> 00:39:55,440
complex was modified to be able to to

950
00:39:59,750 --> 00:39:58,260
handle the Falcon 9 rocket and Doug and

951
00:40:01,910 --> 00:39:59,760
I were super excited to launch again

952
00:40:03,770 --> 00:40:01,920
from the exact same location there are

953
00:40:06,470 --> 00:40:03,780
remnants of the shuttle program that are

954
00:40:08,329 --> 00:40:06,480
still kind of out there there's a series

955
00:40:10,849 --> 00:40:08,339
of Chevrons you can kind of see them in

956
00:40:12,770 --> 00:40:10,859
the in the image there the kind of the

957
00:40:14,930 --> 00:40:12,780
yellow pathway if you will the crews go

958
00:40:16,730 --> 00:40:14,940
in the opposite direction there those

959
00:40:18,410 --> 00:40:16,740
Chevrons Point towards the slide wire

960
00:40:20,510 --> 00:40:18,420
baskets that they would use if they

961
00:40:22,730 --> 00:40:20,520
needed to do an emergency egress off the

962
00:40:24,410 --> 00:40:22,740
pad surface those slide wire baskets are

963
00:40:27,290 --> 00:40:24,420
a legacy item from the shuttle program

964
00:40:29,089 --> 00:40:27,300
and here we go the first two astronauts

965
00:40:31,190 --> 00:40:29,099
to board crew dragon

966
00:40:34,370 --> 00:40:31,200
on the left Josh cassida and on the

967
00:40:36,589 --> 00:40:34,380
right Commander Nicole Mann

968
00:40:40,730 --> 00:40:36,599
all smiles as they make their way down

969
00:40:44,089 --> 00:40:42,290
you can see the fist pumps they're

970
00:40:48,230 --> 00:40:44,099
definitely getting excited now as they

971
00:40:56,030 --> 00:40:49,790
and they make their way into What's

972
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,569
do a photo op there

973
00:41:04,849 --> 00:41:02,030
core on countdown and you can see this

974
00:41:06,470 --> 00:41:04,859
face and 47 minutes crew have arrived at

975
00:41:08,150 --> 00:41:06,480
the white room just a little bit ahead

976
00:41:10,609 --> 00:41:08,160
of schedule

977
00:41:12,589 --> 00:41:10,619
there's the announcement and uh you can

978
00:41:16,010 --> 00:41:12,599
see one of the SpaceX techs handed

979
00:41:17,270 --> 00:41:16,020
Nicole Mann and Josh a Sharpie which

980
00:41:19,370 --> 00:41:17,280
this is something that's actually on

981
00:41:22,370 --> 00:41:19,380
their to-do list for launch operations

982
00:41:25,310 --> 00:41:22,380
and what they're going to do now is sign

983
00:41:26,870 --> 00:41:25,320
their signature onto the NASA meatball

984
00:41:29,990 --> 00:41:26,880
or right there around it

985
00:41:32,930 --> 00:41:30,000
that NASA meatball is

986
00:41:35,870 --> 00:41:32,940
encircled with signatures from all the

987
00:41:37,790 --> 00:41:35,880
previous NASA Crews that have gone up to

988
00:41:40,310 --> 00:41:37,800
the International Space Station that

989
00:41:42,710 --> 00:41:40,320
signature would include yours Bob as

990
00:41:44,210 --> 00:41:42,720
well as your wife Megan MacArthur yes

991
00:41:46,550 --> 00:41:44,220
Joe that's a nice tradition that the

992
00:41:48,710 --> 00:41:46,560
SpaceX team added and allowed kind of

993
00:41:50,450 --> 00:41:48,720
Doug and I to get started and uh it's

994
00:41:52,910 --> 00:41:50,460
pretty neat to get your name added to

995
00:41:54,470 --> 00:41:52,920
the wall there the white room wall that

996
00:41:56,510 --> 00:41:54,480
leads to the dragon capsules that head

997
00:41:59,150 --> 00:41:56,520
to space station

998
00:42:02,390 --> 00:41:59,160
and there you see her

999
00:42:05,930 --> 00:42:02,400
putting her signature

1000
00:42:07,970 --> 00:42:05,940
making the way around the NASA meatball

1001
00:42:10,250 --> 00:42:07,980
handing off the PIN to Josh and to the

1002
00:42:12,109 --> 00:42:10,260
right you see the SpaceX logo for their

1003
00:42:14,510 --> 00:42:12,119
commercial missions they're also

1004
00:42:16,250 --> 00:42:14,520
starting a set of signatures which is a

1005
00:42:19,130 --> 00:42:16,260
great sign

1006
00:42:20,690 --> 00:42:19,140
about starting to establish that economy

1007
00:42:23,390 --> 00:42:20,700
and low earth orbit the

1008
00:42:25,670 --> 00:42:23,400
commercialization of low earth organ

1009
00:42:27,829 --> 00:42:25,680
it's it's exciting to see the the

1010
00:42:30,050 --> 00:42:27,839
economy and low earth orbit continue to

1011
00:42:32,329 --> 00:42:30,060
grow Daryl it's also exciting to see the

1012
00:42:34,910 --> 00:42:32,339
Cadre of astronauts continue to grow and

1013
00:42:37,130 --> 00:42:34,920
and view that group as as our partners

1014
00:42:39,290 --> 00:42:37,140
of folks who've been to low earth orbit

1015
00:42:40,910 --> 00:42:39,300
who've been into the black of space and

1016
00:42:44,210 --> 00:42:40,920
uh it's just exciting to see that group

1017
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:46,609
as the astronauts prepare to go inside

1018
00:42:50,630 --> 00:42:48,480
the first two the commander and pilot

1019
00:42:52,970 --> 00:42:50,640
we've got the mission specialist on the

1020
00:42:54,710 --> 00:42:52,980
left hand side of your screen

1021
00:42:57,410 --> 00:42:54,720
making their way

1022
00:42:59,329 --> 00:42:57,420
towards the crew access arm

1023
00:43:01,190 --> 00:42:59,339
the white room was a term first used

1024
00:43:03,290 --> 00:43:01,200
during the Gemini era

1025
00:43:05,630 --> 00:43:03,300
literally describing the color of the

1026
00:43:08,809 --> 00:43:05,640
room which is painted white you can see

1027
00:43:10,190 --> 00:43:08,819
an inflatable seal which is black

1028
00:43:13,849 --> 00:43:10,200
colored

1029
00:43:16,370 --> 00:43:13,859
connected to the spacecraft and

1030
00:43:17,450 --> 00:43:16,380
it inflates to create that environmental

1031
00:43:20,150 --> 00:43:17,460
seal

1032
00:43:22,730 --> 00:43:20,160
around the side of the spacecraft

1033
00:43:25,010 --> 00:43:22,740
connecting it with the white room

1034
00:43:26,809 --> 00:43:25,020
it does trail that seal you know of

1035
00:43:28,370 --> 00:43:26,819
course would protect if there was a kind

1036
00:43:29,809 --> 00:43:28,380
of rain or anything else kind of going

1037
00:43:32,329 --> 00:43:29,819
on in the area we don't have that today

1038
00:43:34,309 --> 00:43:32,339
we have beautiful weather but it does

1039
00:43:37,130 --> 00:43:34,319
ensure that the elements of Florida

1040
00:43:38,990 --> 00:43:37,140
don't make too far of a way into the

1041
00:43:40,970 --> 00:43:39,000
capsule itself so you don't want any

1042
00:43:42,950 --> 00:43:40,980
mosquitoes or anything uh headed into

1043
00:43:43,790 --> 00:43:42,960
orbit with you and so that seal does its

1044
00:43:45,530 --> 00:43:43,800
job

1045
00:43:47,930 --> 00:43:45,540
does indeed there's a lot of humidity

1046
00:43:49,849 --> 00:43:47,940
and mosquitoes out here in Florida

1047
00:43:53,329 --> 00:43:49,859
fortunately today

1048
00:43:56,030 --> 00:43:53,339
got a nice little breeze that's keeping

1049
00:43:57,950 --> 00:43:56,040
it off us here at the desk which is nice

1050
00:44:00,890 --> 00:43:57,960
and kept it off the astronauts and crew

1051
00:44:04,490 --> 00:44:00,900
when they were getting in their vehicles

1052
00:44:06,170 --> 00:44:04,500
running about a 10 knot onshore Breeze

1053
00:44:09,050 --> 00:44:06,180
which should help push the clouds around

1054
00:44:10,730 --> 00:44:09,060
we've got a few of them out overhead

1055
00:44:12,650 --> 00:44:10,740
our launch weather officer for today

1056
00:44:16,130 --> 00:44:12,660
Ryan sizek

1057
00:44:18,170 --> 00:44:16,140
for the 45th space wing

1058
00:44:20,270 --> 00:44:18,180
telling us that we've got a nice high

1059
00:44:22,970 --> 00:44:20,280
pressure system in the area Bob that's

1060
00:44:25,370 --> 00:44:22,980
uh keeping everything clear as the first

1061
00:44:28,670 --> 00:44:25,380
astronaut climbed before the core on

1062
00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:28,680
countdown at T minus two hours and 44

1063
00:44:36,890 --> 00:44:30,720
minutes crew have begun ingressing

1064
00:44:40,849 --> 00:44:38,510
you gotta be careful to not bump your

1065
00:44:42,410 --> 00:44:40,859
head it looks like you absolutely Daryl

1066
00:44:44,750 --> 00:44:42,420
need to be careful as you climb through

1067
00:44:47,030 --> 00:44:44,760
that hatchway there's a pressure seal

1068
00:44:48,710 --> 00:44:47,040
that needs to be kind of maintained in

1069
00:44:50,630 --> 00:44:48,720
pristine condition so when the time

1070
00:44:52,849 --> 00:44:50,640
comes to close the hatch you'll actually

1071
00:44:55,550 --> 00:44:52,859
get a good seal with that hatch closure

1072
00:44:57,170 --> 00:44:55,560
operation and so the crew is a keenly

1073
00:44:58,849 --> 00:44:57,180
aware that they need to protect that

1074
00:45:02,150 --> 00:44:58,859
environment and they climb into the

1075
00:45:06,650 --> 00:45:04,670
carefully stepping over that seal that

1076
00:45:09,109 --> 00:45:06,660
uh

1077
00:45:10,550 --> 00:45:09,119
that's important and later we'll see the

1078
00:45:13,069 --> 00:45:10,560
closeout team

1079
00:45:14,809 --> 00:45:13,079
closely inspecting that seal

1080
00:45:17,030 --> 00:45:14,819
just to make sure

1081
00:45:19,970 --> 00:45:17,040
that there's no debris

1082
00:45:22,730 --> 00:45:19,980
know what they call fod for an object

1083
00:45:24,410 --> 00:45:22,740
debris which could compromise the seal

1084
00:45:26,930 --> 00:45:24,420
something you want to make sure you keep

1085
00:45:28,309 --> 00:45:26,940
the environment on the inside and space

1086
00:45:30,950 --> 00:45:28,319
on the outside

1087
00:45:32,450 --> 00:45:30,960
now that's absolutely true that team of

1088
00:45:34,910 --> 00:45:32,460
course it's a little bit difficult in

1089
00:45:36,109 --> 00:45:34,920
the suit itself to be able to Monitor

1090
00:45:37,730 --> 00:45:36,119
and make sure that you don't bump

1091
00:45:41,150 --> 00:45:37,740
anything that you're not supposed to

1092
00:45:43,190 --> 00:45:41,160
bump into but that team of SpaceX folks

1093
00:45:45,170 --> 00:45:43,200
just does a great job with assisting the

1094
00:45:47,270 --> 00:45:45,180
crew letting them do as much as they

1095
00:45:49,010 --> 00:45:47,280
they would like to do on their own but

1096
00:45:51,530 --> 00:45:49,020
also ensuring that everything's done

1097
00:45:53,690 --> 00:45:51,540
perfectly so that nothing has to be

1098
00:45:55,730 --> 00:45:53,700
redone in the time critical situation

1099
00:45:57,470 --> 00:45:55,740
for launch and here come our second two

1100
00:46:00,410 --> 00:45:57,480
astronauts Mission specialists

1101
00:46:06,890 --> 00:46:00,420
koichiwakata

1102
00:46:12,290 --> 00:46:08,630
they're next up in the white room big

1103
00:46:18,770 --> 00:46:15,349
he's the veteran of this uh group uh Bob

1104
00:46:20,690 --> 00:46:18,780
we've got three first-time Flyers

1105
00:46:23,150 --> 00:46:20,700
and a guy that has a lot of experience

1106
00:46:25,550 --> 00:46:23,160
in space that's true Daryl you know

1107
00:46:28,190 --> 00:46:25,560
koichi was in the astronaut office when

1108
00:46:30,410 --> 00:46:28,200
I arrived a couple decades ago you know

1109
00:46:32,329 --> 00:46:30,420
just having joined and trained as a

1110
00:46:34,430 --> 00:46:32,339
shuttle astronaut getting the

1111
00:46:36,470 --> 00:46:34,440
opportunity to fly on his third space

1112
00:46:38,210 --> 00:46:36,480
vehicle kind of going forward here it's

1113
00:46:40,010 --> 00:46:38,220
got to be exciting for him to try on a

1114
00:46:47,809 --> 00:46:40,020
new spaceship

1115
00:46:51,910 --> 00:46:49,730
got the green light flashing above and

1116
00:46:54,170 --> 00:46:51,920
I'm going to take that as green as go

1117
00:47:05,270 --> 00:46:54,180
certainly better than a red flashing

1118
00:47:09,349 --> 00:47:07,550
so it does take a relatively large team

1119
00:47:10,849 --> 00:47:09,359
it does seem like uh you know the crew

1120
00:47:13,069 --> 00:47:10,859
being able to head out to the launch pad

1121
00:47:15,230 --> 00:47:13,079
and climb in almost by themselves would

1122
00:47:16,730 --> 00:47:15,240
be a be a thing but in order to make

1123
00:47:19,130 --> 00:47:16,740
sure that things are all done perfectly

1124
00:47:20,750 --> 00:47:19,140
that team of SpaceX folks follow us

1125
00:47:22,730 --> 00:47:20,760
along very carefully with the procedure

1126
00:47:27,650 --> 00:47:22,740
to just to make sure everything's done

1127
00:47:31,730 --> 00:47:29,690
and our mission Specialists will now put

1128
00:47:34,609 --> 00:47:31,740
their signatures on the white room

1129
00:47:37,430 --> 00:47:34,619
as the Commander in Pilot

1130
00:47:41,089 --> 00:47:37,440
finish up securing their five-point

1131
00:47:43,250 --> 00:47:41,099
harness into their seat getting a snug

1132
00:47:45,710 --> 00:47:43,260
fit as you can see there Josh casana

1133
00:47:47,690 --> 00:47:45,720
making sure everything

1134
00:47:50,750 --> 00:47:47,700
is lined up correctly

1135
00:47:52,490 --> 00:47:50,760
looks like he's got four hands those are

1136
00:47:54,530 --> 00:47:52,500
his gloves I'm sure an extra set of

1137
00:47:56,390 --> 00:47:54,540
hands couldn't hurt yeah no he just has

1138
00:47:58,069 --> 00:47:56,400
the two hands just like the rest of us

1139
00:47:59,870 --> 00:47:58,079
but he does have the the gloves there

1140
00:48:02,690 --> 00:47:59,880
kind of taken off to kind of give him

1141
00:48:04,490 --> 00:48:02,700
some additional dexterity as he tries to

1142
00:48:06,290 --> 00:48:04,500
work through getting all the strap in

1143
00:48:08,150 --> 00:48:06,300
process completed you mentioned the

1144
00:48:10,430 --> 00:48:08,160
five-point harness much like a racing

1145
00:48:13,250 --> 00:48:10,440
harness that the astronauts strap in

1146
00:48:15,109 --> 00:48:13,260
with likely they won't need all of the

1147
00:48:17,630 --> 00:48:15,119
capability of that harness as they head

1148
00:48:19,430 --> 00:48:17,640
into orbit and take their ride but it

1149
00:48:22,250 --> 00:48:19,440
does have a provide some capability

1150
00:48:24,170 --> 00:48:22,260
should the emergency escape system be

1151
00:48:26,870 --> 00:48:24,180
activated to really keep them strapped

1152
00:48:28,030 --> 00:48:26,880
tightly into their seats seats that are

1153
00:48:32,630 --> 00:48:28,040
also

1154
00:48:34,730 --> 00:48:32,640
sized to your proportions right and uh

1155
00:48:36,230 --> 00:48:34,740
a suit is custom but the seat I believe

1156
00:48:38,329 --> 00:48:36,240
has three different sizes I believe

1157
00:48:40,490 --> 00:48:38,339
small medium and large the seat has some

1158
00:48:42,230 --> 00:48:40,500
different sizes the armrests have some

1159
00:48:43,490 --> 00:48:42,240
different lengths and the fit rest have

1160
00:48:45,650 --> 00:48:43,500
some different lengths so there are

1161
00:48:49,309 --> 00:48:45,660
several adjustments that can be made not

1162
00:48:50,630 --> 00:48:49,319
quite completely custom but uh it does I

1163
00:48:52,250 --> 00:48:50,640
guess with you look it all the way up to

1164
00:48:54,470 --> 00:48:52,260
crew five we probably haven't exercised

1165
00:48:56,630 --> 00:48:54,480
all the options that are out there but

1166
00:48:58,790 --> 00:48:56,640
uh definitely have some flexibility in

1167
00:49:00,349 --> 00:48:58,800
customizing the seat to make it fit the

1168
00:49:02,630 --> 00:49:00,359
astronaut

1169
00:49:05,870 --> 00:49:02,640
and interesting note about

1170
00:49:08,930 --> 00:49:05,880
the spacecraft endurance that uh SpaceX

1171
00:49:11,530 --> 00:49:08,940
and NASA recently uh hitting a really uh

1172
00:49:13,970 --> 00:49:11,540
incredible joint Milestone crew 5 is

1173
00:49:16,670 --> 00:49:13,980
SpaceX of course is eighth crude Mission

1174
00:49:20,450 --> 00:49:16,680
since May of 2020 but as of this Mission

1175
00:49:23,990 --> 00:49:20,460
Bob dragon is now certified for five

1176
00:49:26,030 --> 00:49:24,000
times reuse prior to that it was one

1177
00:49:29,510 --> 00:49:26,040
time reuse but they've gone through the

1178
00:49:31,730 --> 00:49:29,520
process with NASA and accomplished that

1179
00:49:33,470 --> 00:49:31,740
uh reuse Milestone which

1180
00:49:34,550 --> 00:49:33,480
that's impressive we'll see more flights

1181
00:49:36,829 --> 00:49:34,560
from endurance

1182
00:49:38,690 --> 00:49:36,839
that's true Daryl it is really critical

1183
00:49:41,150 --> 00:49:38,700
that these commercial vehicles kind of

1184
00:49:42,829 --> 00:49:41,160
meet their reuse Milestones you know so

1185
00:49:44,450 --> 00:49:42,839
that we can continue servicing the

1186
00:49:46,609 --> 00:49:44,460
International Space Station by rotating

1187
00:49:48,890 --> 00:49:46,619
Crews and so it's a huge accomplishment

1188
00:49:50,690 --> 00:49:48,900
to get that behind folks so that we can

1189
00:49:53,030 --> 00:49:50,700
continue planning for you know the

1190
00:49:55,790 --> 00:49:53,040
duration of Space Station's lifetime of

1191
00:49:57,650 --> 00:49:55,800
being accessible by the Dragon capsule

1192
00:49:59,569 --> 00:49:57,660
we continue to watch the action live in

1193
00:50:04,069 --> 00:49:59,579
the meantime let's toss it out back to

1194
00:50:09,050 --> 00:50:06,770
thanks Daryl this is always an exciting

1195
00:50:12,050 --> 00:50:09,060
moment watching the crew climb aboard

1196
00:50:14,750 --> 00:50:12,060
Dragon this phase of the mission is also

1197
00:50:16,849 --> 00:50:14,760
referred to as crew Ingress and that

1198
00:50:19,430 --> 00:50:16,859
term Ingress is used when crew members

1199
00:50:22,250 --> 00:50:19,440
are getting into a spacecraft or airlock

1200
00:50:24,829 --> 00:50:22,260
while egress means the exact opposite

1201
00:50:26,990 --> 00:50:24,839
they're exiting so prior to getting on

1202
00:50:30,050 --> 00:50:27,000
board the crew completed a foreign

1203
00:50:31,910 --> 00:50:30,060
object debris check or fod check and

1204
00:50:34,670 --> 00:50:31,920
that means they themselves have to be

1205
00:50:36,530 --> 00:50:34,680
inspected for any substances or debris

1206
00:50:38,569 --> 00:50:36,540
that isn't supposed to be on them or

1207
00:50:41,329 --> 00:50:38,579
their spacesuits because this could

1208
00:50:42,829 --> 00:50:41,339
potentially cause damage to dragon and

1209
00:50:44,870 --> 00:50:42,839
that's also why the crew is wearing

1210
00:50:47,329 --> 00:50:44,880
covers on their boots and on the

1211
00:50:49,309 --> 00:50:47,339
umbilical Port of their spacesuits those

1212
00:50:50,870 --> 00:50:49,319
covers get removed before they enter the

1213
00:50:52,609 --> 00:50:50,880
spacecraft

1214
00:50:55,130 --> 00:50:52,619
foreign object debris prevention

1215
00:50:57,230 --> 00:50:55,140
actually begins right here in Hawthorne

1216
00:50:59,270 --> 00:50:57,240
before the spacecraft leaves SpaceX

1217
00:51:00,770 --> 00:50:59,280
headquarters and is carefully controlled

1218
00:51:03,470 --> 00:51:00,780
all the way through launch day until

1219
00:51:05,329 --> 00:51:03,480
dragon's hatch is closed they are now

1220
00:51:07,430 --> 00:51:05,339
getting buckled in and attaching their

1221
00:51:09,349 --> 00:51:07,440
umbilicals to their suits and you can

1222
00:51:12,170 --> 00:51:09,359
see these suit techs or close out texts

1223
00:51:14,210 --> 00:51:12,180
are present helping them out as needed

1224
00:51:16,250 --> 00:51:14,220
the umbilicals allow the crew to have

1225
00:51:18,049 --> 00:51:16,260
calms through their suit air to help

1226
00:51:20,150 --> 00:51:18,059
keep them cool as well as delivers

1227
00:51:21,710 --> 00:51:20,160
nitrox for soup pressurization as we

1228
00:51:23,809 --> 00:51:21,720
mentioned earlier in the broadcast the

1229
00:51:25,250 --> 00:51:23,819
suit's primary function is to protect

1230
00:51:26,990 --> 00:51:25,260
the crew in the event of a cabin

1231
00:51:29,809 --> 00:51:27,000
depressurization

1232
00:51:32,329 --> 00:51:29,819
and there are four seats configured

1233
00:51:34,549 --> 00:51:32,339
right now inside of dragon and are

1234
00:51:37,069 --> 00:51:34,559
numbered one to four from right to left

1235
00:51:39,589 --> 00:51:37,079
when looking at the seats from the hatch

1236
00:51:41,210 --> 00:51:39,599
Anna kikuno will be in seat one on the

1237
00:51:43,210 --> 00:51:41,220
very far left and you see she just

1238
00:51:47,089 --> 00:51:43,220
climbed in a couple of moments ago

1239
00:51:48,290 --> 00:51:47,099
Nicole Nicole Mann will be Josh cassida

1240
00:51:50,990 --> 00:51:48,300
will be in seat two where the

1241
00:51:53,809 --> 00:51:51,000
Commander's uh seat and Josh cassida

1242
00:51:56,270 --> 00:51:53,819
will be beside her in the pilot seat and

1243
00:51:57,890 --> 00:51:56,280
then on the very end is koichiwakata who

1244
00:51:59,930 --> 00:51:57,900
is in seat four all the way to the right

1245
00:52:01,130 --> 00:51:59,940
who just climbed aboard just a moment

1246
00:52:03,349 --> 00:52:01,140
ago as well

1247
00:52:05,750 --> 00:52:03,359
and directly in front of the crew

1248
00:52:07,370 --> 00:52:05,760
members are three displays which they'll

1249
00:52:10,130 --> 00:52:07,380
use throughout the flight getting

1250
00:52:12,890 --> 00:52:10,140
insight into dragons systems seeing any

1251
00:52:14,930 --> 00:52:12,900
alerts or issues with the vehicle and if

1252
00:52:16,790 --> 00:52:14,940
required taking control and manually

1253
00:52:20,210 --> 00:52:16,800
flying dragon

1254
00:52:23,030 --> 00:52:20,220
now if the crew is all settled in coming

1255
00:52:24,710 --> 00:52:23,040
up will be a Comm check and that will be

1256
00:52:27,589 --> 00:52:24,720
to make sure that they can communicate

1257
00:52:29,390 --> 00:52:27,599
with mission control and then once

1258
00:52:33,589 --> 00:52:29,400
that's complete their suit their seats

1259
00:52:35,690 --> 00:52:33,599
will be rotated in position for launch

1260
00:52:37,970 --> 00:52:35,700
so very exciting watching them getting

1261
00:52:41,809 --> 00:52:37,980
settled in we've got this awesome view

1262
00:52:43,670 --> 00:52:41,819
of the Falcon 9 with dragon on top crew

1263
00:52:46,730 --> 00:52:43,680
on board already

1264
00:52:48,470 --> 00:52:46,740
we have been watching the crew since

1265
00:52:50,690 --> 00:52:48,480
this morning make their way to the

1266
00:52:53,030 --> 00:52:50,700
launch pad climb up the fixed service

1267
00:52:54,890 --> 00:52:53,040
structure walk across that beautiful

1268
00:52:58,370 --> 00:52:54,900
crew arm that you see there on your

1269
00:53:01,549 --> 00:52:58,380
screen and now they are getting settled

1270
00:53:03,710 --> 00:53:01,559
into each one of their seats and there

1271
00:53:05,329 --> 00:53:03,720
is the crew 5 crew there on your right

1272
00:53:07,609 --> 00:53:05,339
hand screen

1273
00:53:09,950 --> 00:53:07,619
and the crew will remain in these

1274
00:53:11,930 --> 00:53:09,960
spacesuits through the ascent portion of

1275
00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:11,940
today's flight we'll be able to get out

1276
00:53:16,790 --> 00:53:13,200
of their suits and get a little more

1277
00:53:19,190 --> 00:53:16,800
comfortable short shortly after liftoff

1278
00:53:20,990 --> 00:53:19,200
but for the portion that is the most

1279
00:53:23,510 --> 00:53:21,000
dynamic portion of the flight they will

1280
00:53:25,490 --> 00:53:23,520
remain in those spacesuits and the

1281
00:53:27,549 --> 00:53:25,500
primary function of the spacesuits is to

1282
00:53:30,290 --> 00:53:27,559
protect the crew in an event of a cabin

1283
00:53:32,210 --> 00:53:30,300
depressurization and if that would occur

1284
00:53:34,549 --> 00:53:32,220
the suit could inflate to provide a

1285
00:53:37,069 --> 00:53:34,559
habitable habitable environment long

1286
00:53:39,530 --> 00:53:37,079
enough for the crew to return home but

1287
00:53:41,809 --> 00:53:39,540
with the crew now inside of the Dragon

1288
00:53:44,270 --> 00:53:41,819
vehicle let's go ahead and check in with

1289
00:53:45,530 --> 00:53:44,280
Kate Tice for the latest how's it going

1290
00:53:47,630 --> 00:53:45,540
Kate

1291
00:53:50,089 --> 00:53:47,640
I've been following along with the

1292
00:53:52,130 --> 00:53:50,099
launch teams and they continue to work

1293
00:53:54,890 --> 00:53:52,140
through the countdown currently no

1294
00:53:57,710 --> 00:53:54,900
issues are in work and we are awaiting

1295
00:54:00,349 --> 00:53:57,720
the context uh with the crew inside

1296
00:54:02,569 --> 00:54:00,359
Dragon which you seated there the first

1297
00:54:04,430 --> 00:54:02,579
check that we will hear is to check the

1298
00:54:06,710 --> 00:54:04,440
umbilical which is the harness that is

1299
00:54:09,109 --> 00:54:06,720
attached from each spacesuit to the

1300
00:54:12,290 --> 00:54:09,119
vehicle itself you can actually see the

1301
00:54:14,809 --> 00:54:12,300
umbilical Port there on the right thigh

1302
00:54:16,670 --> 00:54:14,819
it's that little black box that's the

1303
00:54:19,790 --> 00:54:16,680
umbilical Port that connects the

1304
00:54:21,710 --> 00:54:19,800
spacesuit to their seat the second check

1305
00:54:24,530 --> 00:54:21,720
that we'll hear will check the ground

1306
00:54:27,109 --> 00:54:24,540
stations which as the name suggests are

1307
00:54:29,150 --> 00:54:27,119
the ground-based support staff here on

1308
00:54:31,370 --> 00:54:29,160
Earth and then the third contact that

1309
00:54:34,309 --> 00:54:31,380
we'll hear will be for tedris or the

1310
00:54:36,710 --> 00:54:34,319
tracking and data relay satellites and

1311
00:54:38,630 --> 00:54:36,720
those are that's a constellation of 10

1312
00:54:42,049 --> 00:54:38,640
geosynchronous satellites that help us

1313
00:54:44,109 --> 00:54:42,059
maintain contact around the globe as of

1314
00:54:47,329 --> 00:54:44,119
right now the dragon Lawn Shop team

1315
00:54:49,970 --> 00:54:47,339
tracking no issue shoes I was listening

1316
00:54:51,710 --> 00:54:49,980
in throughout the webcast on their Nets

1317
00:54:53,630 --> 00:54:51,720
and it sounds like that we are running

1318
00:54:56,210 --> 00:54:53,640
perfectly on time and just a little bit

1319
00:54:57,829 --> 00:54:56,220
early we have plenty of margins so if

1320
00:54:59,510 --> 00:54:57,839
for you know whatever reason something

1321
00:55:02,390 --> 00:54:59,520
arises and we need a little bit extra

1322
00:55:04,910 --> 00:55:02,400
time to work through an issue we we've

1323
00:55:06,829 --> 00:55:04,920
got it in the countdown for those that

1324
00:55:09,049 --> 00:55:06,839
are new to our launch webcasts of course

1325
00:55:12,410 --> 00:55:09,059
our countdown is the framework that

1326
00:55:15,950 --> 00:55:12,420
helps to sync all of our teams up so we

1327
00:55:18,470 --> 00:55:15,960
build margin into each step that we walk

1328
00:55:19,849 --> 00:55:18,480
through or proceed through on the

1329
00:55:21,650 --> 00:55:19,859
countdown to make sure that we have

1330
00:55:24,410 --> 00:55:21,660
plenty of time to work any issues that

1331
00:55:26,270 --> 00:55:24,420
might arise so with all that being said

1332
00:55:30,049 --> 00:55:26,280
everything is looking good on the dragon

1333
00:55:32,870 --> 00:55:30,059
side as for the Falcon 9 team they are

1334
00:55:34,970 --> 00:55:32,880
located in firing room four in the

1335
00:55:37,010 --> 00:55:34,980
launch control center at Kennedy Space

1336
00:55:39,650 --> 00:55:37,020
Center which you see there on your

1337
00:55:41,990 --> 00:55:39,660
screen those folks are settling in for

1338
00:55:44,870 --> 00:55:42,000
final checkouts propellant loading and

1339
00:55:47,210 --> 00:55:44,880
launch the Falcon 9 team will undergo

1340
00:55:50,270 --> 00:55:47,220
their own contracts with the crew at

1341
00:55:52,190 --> 00:55:50,280
about the T-minus two hour mark As for

1342
00:55:53,630 --> 00:55:52,200
the range they continue to report no

1343
00:55:56,809 --> 00:55:53,640
issues and the weather forecast

1344
00:55:58,910 --> 00:55:56,819
continues to be acceptable we had a less

1345
00:56:00,349 --> 00:55:58,920
than 10 percent chance of violation of

1346
00:56:02,390 --> 00:56:00,359
our weather conditions and as you can

1347
00:56:04,549 --> 00:56:02,400
see on your screen it's a beautiful

1348
00:56:06,470 --> 00:56:04,559
morning there at Kennedy Space Center

1349
00:56:08,510 --> 00:56:06,480
now of course we are looking at whether

1350
00:56:10,730 --> 00:56:08,520
not only at the launch site but around

1351
00:56:12,950 --> 00:56:10,740
the world we need to make sure that

1352
00:56:15,530 --> 00:56:12,960
conditions are acceptable if dragon has

1353
00:56:17,809 --> 00:56:15,540
to splash down in the in the Atlantic in

1354
00:56:20,150 --> 00:56:17,819
case of an escape we're also monitoring

1355
00:56:22,130 --> 00:56:20,160
contingency Splashdown locations if the

1356
00:56:24,710 --> 00:56:22,140
crew had to come back to earth before

1357
00:56:26,690 --> 00:56:24,720
docking with the space station now if

1358
00:56:28,549 --> 00:56:26,700
that were to happen SpaceX and NASA

1359
00:56:30,950 --> 00:56:28,559
would coordinate with the U.S Coast

1360
00:56:33,410 --> 00:56:30,960
Guard to ensure safety upon Splashdown

1361
00:56:35,390 --> 00:56:33,420
including extra ships and air assets to

1362
00:56:37,849 --> 00:56:35,400
patrol the 10 nautical mile keep out

1363
00:56:39,530 --> 00:56:37,859
Zone that's of course to help mitigate

1364
00:56:41,690 --> 00:56:39,540
safety concerns for any boaters

1365
00:56:43,730 --> 00:56:41,700
approaching the landing area and of

1366
00:56:45,950 --> 00:56:43,740
course we've also been monitoring down

1367
00:56:49,010 --> 00:56:45,960
range weather which as I reported

1368
00:56:50,809 --> 00:56:49,020
earlier was no go yesterday but at the T

1369
00:56:54,349 --> 00:56:50,819
minus six hour weather brief turned to

1370
00:56:56,329 --> 00:56:54,359
Green so we're proceeding but keeping an

1371
00:56:59,030 --> 00:56:56,339
eye on those down range wind conditions

1372
00:57:01,609 --> 00:56:59,040
so as the clock continues to tick we're

1373
00:57:04,490 --> 00:57:01,619
approaching the T-minus 2 hour and 31

1374
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:04,500
minute Mark all systems to continue to

1375
00:57:08,809 --> 00:57:06,900
be go for launch let's head back over to

1376
00:57:12,650 --> 00:57:08,819
Jesse who's actually here in Hawthorne

1377
00:57:17,630 --> 00:57:14,569
thanks Kate

1378
00:57:19,970 --> 00:57:17,640
not only is today an exciting day

1379
00:57:22,309 --> 00:57:19,980
because it's launch day but it's also a

1380
00:57:24,470 --> 00:57:22,319
pretty exciting year as this year marks

1381
00:57:26,930 --> 00:57:24,480
dragon's 10th year in operational flight

1382
00:57:28,790 --> 00:57:26,940
it took a lot of love and dedication to

1383
00:57:31,370 --> 00:57:28,800
get here today and we are still learning

1384
00:57:32,630 --> 00:57:31,380
and innovating from each launch from the

1385
00:57:35,390 --> 00:57:32,640
beginning Dragon was designed to

1386
00:57:37,010 --> 00:57:35,400
eventually fly people the dragon hanging

1387
00:57:39,770 --> 00:57:37,020
from the ceiling next to us was

1388
00:57:41,930 --> 00:57:39,780
initially flown to certify SpaceX for

1389
00:57:45,650 --> 00:57:41,940
cargo missions to the space station over

1390
00:57:47,930 --> 00:57:45,660
10 years ago which flew in 2010 yet a

1391
00:57:50,510 --> 00:57:47,940
window was added to hint at our plans

1392
00:57:53,030 --> 00:57:50,520
for flying crew in the near future

1393
00:57:54,650 --> 00:57:53,040
now of course the dragon behind us and

1394
00:57:57,349 --> 00:57:54,660
the dragon supporting today's Mission

1395
00:57:59,510 --> 00:57:57,359
taking crew 5 to the space station are

1396
00:58:00,710 --> 00:57:59,520
very different a testament to how far

1397
00:58:02,270 --> 00:58:00,720
we've come

1398
00:58:05,329 --> 00:58:02,280
it's been a little over two years since

1399
00:58:08,150 --> 00:58:05,339
we flew demo 2 which was on May 30th of

1400
00:58:10,609 --> 00:58:08,160
2020 and since then SpaceX has been

1401
00:58:11,990 --> 00:58:10,619
regularly flying crew missions for NASA

1402
00:58:14,450 --> 00:58:12,000
to and from the International Space

1403
00:58:17,690 --> 00:58:14,460
Station at an average Cadence of one

1404
00:58:20,870 --> 00:58:17,700
flight every six months since crew one

1405
00:58:23,329 --> 00:58:20,880
crew 5 marks spacex's sixth crude space

1406
00:58:25,370 --> 00:58:23,339
flight for NASA and our eighth human

1407
00:58:27,530 --> 00:58:25,380
space flight Mission overall including

1408
00:58:29,569 --> 00:58:27,540
private passenger missions inspiration 4

1409
00:58:32,990 --> 00:58:29,579
and Axiom 1.

1410
00:58:34,849 --> 00:58:33,000
now speaking of inspiration 4 you may

1411
00:58:36,470 --> 00:58:34,859
remember Jared isaacman who served as

1412
00:58:38,930 --> 00:58:36,480
Commander for the inspiration for a

1413
00:58:40,730 --> 00:58:38,940
mission Jared is planning to return to

1414
00:58:43,130 --> 00:58:40,740
space with us under the Polaris program

1415
00:58:45,170 --> 00:58:43,140
now through this program Jared along

1416
00:58:47,450 --> 00:58:45,180
with his crew will embark on three human

1417
00:58:49,490 --> 00:58:47,460
space flight missions culminating in the

1418
00:58:53,270 --> 00:58:49,500
inaugural flight of spacex's Starship

1419
00:58:55,490 --> 00:58:53,280
with humans on board the crew for the

1420
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:55,500
first mission Polaris Don has been busy

1421
00:58:59,150 --> 00:58:57,119
preparing for their flight which is

1422
00:59:02,329 --> 00:58:59,160
currently targeted for no earlier than

1423
00:59:04,730 --> 00:59:02,339
March 2023. in addition to Jared

1424
00:59:07,569 --> 00:59:04,740
isaacman the Polaris Dawn crew consists

1425
00:59:09,650 --> 00:59:07,579
of Scott Kidd Poteet the missions pilot

1426
00:59:12,589 --> 00:59:09,660
spacex's Sarah Gillis as Mission

1427
00:59:14,210 --> 00:59:12,599
specialist and spacex's Anna Menon the

1428
00:59:16,190 --> 00:59:14,220
second mission specialist and medical

1429
00:59:18,410 --> 00:59:16,200
officer and there you can see them on

1430
00:59:20,630 --> 00:59:18,420
the screen the Polaris Dawn Mission will

1431
00:59:23,329 --> 00:59:20,640
endeavor to fly higher than any other

1432
00:59:25,789 --> 00:59:23,339
dragon mission to date the crew will

1433
00:59:28,190 --> 00:59:25,799
also be attempting the world's first

1434
00:59:31,430 --> 00:59:28,200
ever commercial spacewalk using our

1435
00:59:34,010 --> 00:59:31,440
newly designed Eva suits and our

1436
00:59:37,010 --> 00:59:34,020
progress with humanspace exploration

1437
00:59:39,109 --> 00:59:37,020
does not stop there as you can see we've

1438
00:59:41,690 --> 00:59:39,119
started construction on a new starship

1439
00:59:44,089 --> 00:59:41,700
pad at Kennedy Space Center the same pad

1440
00:59:47,089 --> 00:59:44,099
that will take NASA's human space Lander

1441
00:59:50,329 --> 00:59:47,099
system to the Moon

1442
00:59:52,309 --> 00:59:50,339
Jessie NASA's efforts particularly with

1443
00:59:55,130 --> 00:59:52,319
the commercial crew program and the

1444
00:59:57,650 --> 00:59:55,140
certification of the SpaceX Dragon are

1445
01:00:00,890 --> 00:59:57,660
aiding in building the foundation for a

1446
01:00:03,530 --> 01:00:00,900
robust U.S led commercial economy in low

1447
01:00:06,289 --> 01:00:03,540
earth orbit commercial transportation to

1448
01:00:09,109 --> 01:00:06,299
space is but one element of NASA's

1449
01:00:10,549 --> 01:00:09,119
larger plan for commercialization and

1450
01:00:12,710 --> 01:00:10,559
we're enabling the development of

1451
01:00:15,349 --> 01:00:12,720
commercial space stations private

1452
01:00:19,190 --> 01:00:15,359
astronaut missions to station demand for

1453
01:00:21,710 --> 01:00:19,200
in-space manufacturing and much more and

1454
01:00:24,109 --> 01:00:21,720
soon the agency will launch Artemis to

1455
01:00:26,750 --> 01:00:24,119
the moon and Beyond as part of a test

1456
01:00:30,770 --> 01:00:26,760
flight of the space launch system rocket

1457
01:00:37,490 --> 01:00:33,589
copy Dragon standby for umbilical

1458
01:00:42,670 --> 01:00:40,010
and we did just hear those words that

1459
01:00:45,770 --> 01:00:42,680
comchecks will be starting here shortly

1460
01:00:47,930 --> 01:00:45,780
so the Orion spacecraft and all of its

1461
01:00:50,930 --> 01:00:47,940
components will be tested from end to

1462
01:00:53,450 --> 01:00:50,940
end in this uncrewed test flight this is

1463
01:00:56,030 --> 01:00:53,460
a key Milestone before we fly humans on

1464
01:00:59,270 --> 01:00:56,040
board as part of Artemis 2 and then have

1465
01:01:01,430 --> 01:00:59,280
humans land on the moon on Artemis 3.

1466
01:01:04,069 --> 01:01:01,440
now on your screen you're seeing some

1467
01:01:06,230 --> 01:01:04,079
waves some thumbs up some goodbyes to

1468
01:01:12,470 --> 01:01:06,240
the team on the ground once they close

1469
01:01:21,230 --> 01:01:16,069
ton PDR has you loud and clear

1470
01:01:26,630 --> 01:01:23,030
unclear

1471
01:01:31,549 --> 01:01:29,089
core loud and clear

1472
01:01:40,430 --> 01:01:31,559
umbilical Comcheck is complete standby

1473
01:01:44,630 --> 01:01:42,770
and those calm checks have begun we're

1474
01:01:46,789 --> 01:01:44,640
going to hear a series of those

1475
01:01:48,410 --> 01:01:46,799
communication checks to make sure that

1476
01:01:50,690 --> 01:01:48,420
the crew can hear the folks on the

1477
01:01:52,910 --> 01:01:50,700
ground and vice versa

1478
01:01:56,750 --> 01:01:52,920
and looks like the crew is very excited

1479
01:01:58,789 --> 01:01:56,760
waving at the camera to the world

1480
01:02:01,970 --> 01:01:58,799
maybe some poses for some photos there

1481
01:02:03,829 --> 01:02:01,980
as well yeah absolutely and as I was

1482
01:02:05,569 --> 01:02:03,839
saying right before the comchecks

1483
01:02:06,950 --> 01:02:05,579
started once they closed this hatch

1484
01:02:09,230 --> 01:02:06,960
that's the last human being they're

1485
01:02:22,789 --> 01:02:09,240
gonna see on Earth until they splash

1486
01:02:28,609 --> 01:02:25,609
you can also see the crew uh with their

1487
01:02:30,890 --> 01:02:28,619
iPads on their their tablets on their

1488
01:02:34,130 --> 01:02:30,900
legs there they have a variety of

1489
01:02:36,650 --> 01:02:34,140
different procedures and reference

1490
01:02:38,390 --> 01:02:36,660
materials that they can view during the

1491
01:02:40,730 --> 01:02:38,400
mission as well you'll see them getting

1492
01:02:45,230 --> 01:02:40,740
that configured and ready for launch now

1493
01:02:50,270 --> 01:02:48,049
and these procedures are very very

1494
01:02:53,210 --> 01:02:50,280
specific they are following them all the

1495
01:02:54,829 --> 01:02:53,220
way step by step all the way through

1496
01:02:57,470 --> 01:02:54,839
this does include if you're just now

1497
01:02:59,930 --> 01:02:57,480
joining us we are

1498
01:03:01,490 --> 01:02:59,940
awaiting some comchecks which they have

1499
01:03:03,069 --> 01:03:01,500
begun

1500
01:03:05,809 --> 01:03:03,079
and they will be stepping through

1501
01:03:08,329 --> 01:03:05,819
several different Comm checks to make

1502
01:03:10,849 --> 01:03:08,339
sure that the crew can hear and

1503
01:03:13,250 --> 01:03:10,859
communicate with the ground teams here

1504
01:03:15,650 --> 01:03:13,260
in Mission Control

1505
01:03:17,870 --> 01:03:15,660
and we will do those calm checks through

1506
01:03:20,089 --> 01:03:17,880
multiple paths to Dragon including

1507
01:03:21,589 --> 01:03:20,099
tedris and ground stations which you'll

1508
01:03:24,230 --> 01:03:21,599
hear coming up throughout the

1509
01:03:25,970 --> 01:03:24,240
continuation of these Comm checks the

1510
01:03:28,430 --> 01:03:25,980
ground of course refers to the different

1511
01:03:30,829 --> 01:03:28,440
ground stations and SpaceX has ground

1512
01:03:34,730 --> 01:03:30,839
stations all around the globe and then

1513
01:03:36,829 --> 01:03:34,740
you'll also hear from core MD and LD the

1514
01:03:40,370 --> 01:03:36,839
core in Hawthorne is the crew operations

1515
01:03:41,930 --> 01:03:40,380
and resource engineer the LD is the

1516
01:03:45,230 --> 01:03:41,940
launch director down in Florida and

1517
01:03:47,390 --> 01:03:45,240
oversees the space the countdown Ops and

1518
01:03:49,730 --> 01:03:47,400
then MD is the mission director here in

1519
01:03:53,870 --> 01:03:49,740
Hawthorne is who is the overall flight

1520
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,240
foreign

1521
01:04:00,950 --> 01:03:58,609
[Laughter]

1522
01:04:03,049 --> 01:04:00,960
and this is a pretty cool view inside of

1523
01:04:04,670 --> 01:04:03,059
dragon you can see the four seats for

1524
01:04:06,410 --> 01:04:04,680
the four crew members but dragon's

1525
01:04:09,410 --> 01:04:06,420
actually designed to have up to seven

1526
01:04:10,910 --> 01:04:09,420
crew members so right below this row of

1527
01:04:16,190 --> 01:04:10,920
seats

1528
01:04:18,230 --> 01:04:16,200
today since we only have four crew

1529
01:04:20,630 --> 01:04:18,240
members below the crew that you see on

1530
01:04:23,270 --> 01:04:20,640
your screen is actually cargo stowed

1531

1567
01:08:09,529 --> 01:08:07,619
Houston a team of flight controllers

1568
01:08:11,990 --> 01:08:09,539
behind me is actively monitoring the

1569
01:08:14,089 --> 01:08:12,000
space station as we speak the crew in

1570
01:08:16,729 --> 01:08:14,099
orbit has completed a number of tests to

1571
01:08:18,890 --> 01:08:16,739
prepare for prepare the station for crew

1572
01:08:21,169 --> 01:08:18,900

launched on a previous cargo resupply

1577
01:08:30,590 --> 01:08:28,080
mission

1578
01:08:32,689 --> 01:08:30,600
back here in Houston flight director

1579
01:08:34,430 --> 01:08:32,699
Greg Whitney and his team are in

1580
01:08:36,709 --> 01:08:34,440
constant communication with the SpaceX

Mission director for crew 5's launch to

1582
01:08:40,910 --> 01:08:38,819
the space station once we get into

1583
01:08:42,769 --> 01:08:40,920
integrated operations the NASA flight

1584
01:08:45,229 --> 01:08:42,779
director will be conducting a series of

1585
01:08:47,570 --> 01:08:45,239
go no-go polls at the predetermined

1586
01:08:49,370 --> 01:08:47,580
checkpoints for dragon's approach for

1587
01:08:51,110 --> 01:08:49,380
now we'll continue to follow along from

1588
01:08:53,030 --> 01:08:51,120
here in Mission Control Houston so I'll

1589
01:08:55,430 --> 01:08:53,040
send it back down to the team in Kennedy

1590
01:08:56,930 --> 01:08:55,440
over to you Daryl all right thank you

1591
01:08:59,570 --> 01:08:56,940
Shaniqua and if you're just joining us

1592
01:09:02,630 --> 01:08:59,580
it is T minus two hours and 19 minutes

1593
01:09:05,090 --> 01:09:02,640
until crew 5 launches as part of the

1594
01:09:07,249 --> 01:09:05,100
NASA commercial crew program we've got

1595
01:09:09,709 --> 01:09:07,259
Commander Nicole Mann pilot Josh cassida

1596
01:09:11,749 --> 01:09:09,719
and Mission specialist koichiwakata and

1597
01:09:13,910 --> 01:09:11,759
Anna kikuna they are strapped into their

1598
01:09:15,769 --> 01:09:13,920
seats inside Dragon endurance I'm Daryl

1599
01:09:18,289 --> 01:09:15,779
nail and this is Bob binkin history

1600
01:09:20,410 --> 01:09:18,299
making astronaut here if you want to get

1601
01:09:23,870 --> 01:09:20,420
a question in to Bob live on the show

1602
01:09:25,669 --> 01:09:23,880
just hop on to a social media platform

1603
01:09:27,650 --> 01:09:25,679
any of the following Twitter Youtube and

1604
01:09:30,650 --> 01:09:27,660
twitch we're streaming on Facebook as

1605
01:09:33,470 --> 01:09:30,660
well use the hashtag asknasa and we will

1606
01:09:35,990 --> 01:09:33,480
take your question live on the air to

1607
01:09:37,789 --> 01:09:36,000
Bob binkin now the commercial crew

1608
01:09:39,950 --> 01:09:37,799
program has hundreds of super smart

1609
01:09:42,349 --> 01:09:39,960
engineers and technicians doing amazing

1610
01:09:45,650 --> 01:09:42,359
work to get us up to the station and

1611
01:09:47,570 --> 01:09:45,660
Megan Cruz is with one of them Megan yes

1612
01:09:50,030 --> 01:09:47,580
I do have a super smart engineer with me

1613
01:09:51,829 --> 01:09:50,040
this is Crystal Jones she's with ccp's

1614
01:09:53,570 --> 01:09:51,839
grounds and Mission operations office

1615
01:09:56,150 --> 01:09:53,580
Crystal can you tell everyone what that

1616
01:09:59,510 --> 01:09:56,160
office is in charge of sure yeah we have

1617
01:10:01,970 --> 01:09:59,520
a right wide range of functions that we

1618
01:10:05,689 --> 01:10:01,980
do for the commercial crew program one

1619
01:10:08,150 --> 01:10:05,699
is assessing ground systems for crew

1620
01:10:11,030 --> 01:10:08,160
safety for both launch Ops and Recovery

1621
01:10:12,890 --> 01:10:11,040
an example of a ground system is the

1622
01:10:15,290 --> 01:10:12,900
crew access arm which we just saw the

1623
01:10:16,910 --> 01:10:15,300
crew walk through to get to the

1624
01:10:19,729 --> 01:10:16,920
spacecraft and Ingress the spacecraft

1625
01:10:21,709 --> 01:10:19,739
that arm has to swing away from the

1626
01:10:23,270 --> 01:10:21,719
vehicle for launch but if there were

1627
01:10:24,649 --> 01:10:23,280
some sort of emergency and the

1628
01:10:26,930 --> 01:10:24,659
astronauts needed to get out of the

1629
01:10:29,689 --> 01:10:26,940
spacecraft that arm needs to come back

1630
01:10:31,370 --> 01:10:29,699
really quickly to allow the astronauts

1631
01:10:32,930 --> 01:10:31,380
to egress

1632
01:10:34,490 --> 01:10:32,940
um so you're responsible for just making

1633
01:10:35,750 --> 01:10:34,500
sure that everything is operating the

1634
01:10:37,850 --> 01:10:35,760
way that it should be if that were to

1635
01:10:39,410 --> 01:10:37,860
happen yes correct okay and then right

1636
01:10:41,149 --> 01:10:39,420
after this you're also going to go to

1637
01:10:42,590 --> 01:10:41,159
the nearby Cape Canaveral space force

1638
01:10:44,090 --> 01:10:42,600
station you're going to be inside a room

1639
01:10:45,649 --> 01:10:44,100
there and I believe we have a live shot

1640
01:10:48,410 --> 01:10:45,659
of that room and you're going to go

1641
01:10:50,330 --> 01:10:48,420
there so that you can serve as ccp's

1642
01:10:53,149 --> 01:10:50,340
mishap manager right this is the room

1643
01:10:56,570 --> 01:10:53,159
right here yes that's correct and I have

1644
01:11:00,110 --> 01:10:56,580
my FAA and NTSB colleagues uh they're

1645
01:11:02,390 --> 01:11:00,120
with me as well since this is a an FAA

1646
01:11:04,930 --> 01:11:02,400
commercially licensed Mission they have

1647
01:11:07,430 --> 01:11:04,940
mishap jurisdiction for some of the

1648
01:11:09,950 --> 01:11:07,440
phases of flight and so we all work

1649
01:11:11,810 --> 01:11:09,960
together if an incident were to occur I

1650
01:11:14,270 --> 01:11:11,820
don't expect anything to happen I have

1651
01:11:16,250 --> 01:11:14,280
full confidence in The Joint Nasa and

1652
01:11:17,990 --> 01:11:16,260
SpaceX team you have such an important

1653
01:11:19,850 --> 01:11:18,000
role here like you said a wide variety

1654
01:11:22,610 --> 01:11:19,860
of things that you're overseeing you've

1655
01:11:24,169 --> 01:11:22,620
been here at Nasa for almost 15 years I

1656
01:11:25,550 --> 01:11:24,179
mean did you know that you always wanted

1657
01:11:26,330 --> 01:11:25,560
to work here and how did you make it

1658
01:11:29,390 --> 01:11:26,340
happen

1659
01:11:31,550 --> 01:11:29,400
yes I did always know that I wanted to

1660
01:11:34,270 --> 01:11:31,560
work at NASA ever since I was a very

1661
01:11:38,090 --> 01:11:34,280
young girl I dreamed of working for NASA

1662
01:11:41,870 --> 01:11:38,100
unfortunately when I was about 10 11 12

1663
01:11:44,330 --> 01:11:41,880
my parents drug and alcohol use began to

1664
01:11:47,090 --> 01:11:44,340
impact our lives in a severe way

1665
01:11:49,370 --> 01:11:47,100
we ended up homeless I had to stay in an

1666
01:11:51,830 --> 01:11:49,380
abandoned bus and eventually

1667
01:11:54,189 --> 01:11:51,840
transitioned to a homeless shelter wow

1668
01:11:56,810 --> 01:11:54,199
after that time

1669
01:11:59,930 --> 01:11:56,820
it we never seemed to be able to recover

1670
01:12:02,870 --> 01:11:59,940
as a family we lived in extreme poverty

1671
01:12:06,169 --> 01:12:02,880
in a bad neighborhood but it didn't stop

1672
01:12:08,709 --> 01:12:06,179
me from trying to reach my goals I still

1673
01:12:11,510 --> 01:12:08,719
had that dream so

1674
01:12:13,370 --> 01:12:11,520
in high school I've learned how to use a

1675
01:12:15,050 --> 01:12:13,380
computer no one in my area had a

1676
01:12:16,570 --> 01:12:15,060
computer I didn't have one didn't know

1677
01:12:19,910 --> 01:12:16,580
so learn how to use a computer

1678
01:12:22,310 --> 01:12:19,920
researched colleges how to apply how to

1679
01:12:25,490 --> 01:12:22,320
get applications the whole financial aid

1680
01:12:27,169 --> 01:12:25,500
process and I was accepted into Florida

1686
01:12:40,669 --> 01:12:37,920
long road ahead of you but but I hope

1687
01:12:42,410 --> 01:12:40,679
that people learn to to take away from

1688
01:12:44,450 --> 01:12:42,420
your story that really you can just

1689
01:12:45,950 --> 01:12:44,460

talking about our commander for the day

1724
01:14:12,350 --> 01:14:09,060
as they pull down their visors she is

1725
01:14:14,689 --> 01:14:12,360

01:14:41,990 --> 01:14:39,659
Artemis program today the crew 5

1738
01:14:45,290 --> 01:14:42,000

01:14:50,930 --> 01:14:47,640
launches she will be the first Native

1741
01:14:52,850 --> 01:14:50,940
American woman to go to space which is a

1742
01:14:55,130 --> 01:14:52,860
wonderful accomplishment

1743
01:14:56,450 --> 01:14:55,140
absolutely Nicole joined the astronaut

1744
01:14:58,490 --> 01:14:56,460
office when I was the chief of the

1745
01:15:00,350 --> 01:14:58,500
astronaut office I'm just super excited

1746
01:15:02,330 --> 01:15:00,360
to see a colonel in the Marine Corps

1747
01:15:03,950 --> 01:15:02,340
head to the International Space Station

1748
01:15:05,870 --> 01:15:03,960
from that Commander sheet just like we

1749
01:15:08,330 --> 01:15:05,880
had for demo 2.

1750
01:15:11,090 --> 01:15:08,340
and you being a colonel in the Air Force

1751
01:15:13,610 --> 01:15:11,100
I'm sure you appreciate the military

1752
01:15:15,649 --> 01:15:13,620
discipline that she brings to that role

1753
01:15:17,570 --> 01:15:15,659
just like your partner Doug Hurley

1754
01:15:20,270 --> 01:15:17,580
brought a little bit of that

1755
01:15:23,090 --> 01:15:20,280
sitting next to Nicole is Josh cassida

1756
01:15:25,550 --> 01:15:23,100
he grew up in Bear Lake Minnesota the

1757
01:15:28,250 --> 01:15:25,560
physicist and U.S Navy test pilot flew

1758
01:15:31,570 --> 01:15:28,260
23 combat missions he later became an

1759
01:15:34,370 --> 01:15:31,580

1760
01:15:36,950 --> 01:15:34,380
care complete and complete the section

1761
01:15:41,209 --> 01:15:39,110

1762
01:15:43,610 --> 01:15:41,219
checks have been completed

1763
01:15:46,070 --> 01:15:43,620
good sign as we move forward I believe

1764
01:15:48,350 --> 01:15:46,080
that was Josh castle that came over the

1765
01:15:50,450 --> 01:15:48,360
line there who we are talking about copy

1766
01:15:52,430 --> 01:15:50,460
that Dragon you are go for section four

1767
01:15:54,110 --> 01:15:52,440
suit leak check

1768
01:15:58,209 --> 01:15:54,120
that was a confirmation rather that they

1769
01:15:58,219 --> 01:16:02,450
I want to correct that

1770
01:16:05,330 --> 01:16:03,950
cassida

1771
01:16:07,490 --> 01:16:05,340

1772
01:16:09,649 --> 01:16:07,500
graduates who became astronauts going

1773
01:16:11,330 --> 01:16:09,659
back to the Mercury program more

1774
01:16:14,149 --> 01:16:11,340
recently he served as capsule

1775
01:16:16,790 --> 01:16:14,159
Communicator in Mission Control

1776
01:16:18,410 --> 01:16:16,800
but Bob today he's in the position of

1777
01:16:20,390 --> 01:16:18,420

1778
01:16:22,910 --> 01:16:20,400
position you know well

1779
01:16:24,890 --> 01:16:22,920

in that seat you know as all of our

1781
01:16:29,209 --> 01:16:27,060
astronauts who come into the program he

1782
01:16:31,669 --> 01:16:29,219
brings a balance of operational and and

1783
01:16:35,270 --> 01:16:31,679
scientific expertise kind of to the

1784
01:16:39,530 --> 01:16:36,950

01:18:12,470 --> 01:18:10,860
remaining in that leap check there will

1823
01:18:14,330 --> 01:18:12,480
be another communication check with the

1824
01:18:17,270 --> 01:18:14,340
Falcon 9 launch Team and the crew that

1825
01:18:19,189 --> 01:18:17,280
comes up at about T minus two hours so

1826
01:18:21,950 --> 01:18:19,199
at this point we were in the leak check

1827
01:18:24,470 --> 01:18:21,960
uh less than a minute remaining and

1828
01:18:26,510 --> 01:18:24,480
after that we'll be able to say the

1829
01:18:28,430 --> 01:18:26,520
checks are hopefully good and at that

1830
01:18:30,229 --> 01:18:28,440
point the closeout lead will then verify

1831
01:18:32,570 --> 01:18:30,239
that the cabin environment's inside

1832
01:18:34,910 --> 01:18:32,580
Dragon are good to go and then begin

1833
01:18:37,189 --> 01:18:34,920
procedures to close the side hatch of

1834
01:18:39,530 --> 01:18:37,199
the dragon spacecraft so that's always

1835
01:18:41,450 --> 01:18:39,540
an exciting moment of course the

1836
01:18:43,790 --> 01:18:41,460
closeout team will perform the final

1837
01:18:45,890 --> 01:18:43,800
leak check on the hatch and then once

1838
01:18:48,470 --> 01:18:45,900
that is finished the team will begin all

1839
01:18:51,050 --> 01:18:48,480
their steps to ready the crew access arm

1840
01:18:53,930 --> 01:18:51,060
for retraction and then the closeout

1841
01:18:55,910 --> 01:18:53,940
team will leave the pad at about T minus

1842
01:18:58,550 --> 01:18:55,920
one hour and we'll hear that called out

1843
01:19:01,130 --> 01:18:58,560
on the Nets that the team has Departed

1844
01:19:03,950 --> 01:19:01,140
the pad and at that point in time only

1845
01:19:07,370 --> 01:19:03,960
our crew 5 astronauts will remain on the

1846
01:19:09,590 --> 01:19:07,380
pad now as for Falcon 9 that team is on

1847
01:19:12,649 --> 01:19:09,600
console and firing room four they are

1848
01:19:15,470 --> 01:19:12,659
preparing for their communication checks

1849
01:19:18,110 --> 01:19:15,480
which will occur at T minus one hour and

1850
01:19:19,850 --> 01:19:18,120
55 minutes SpaceX Engineers have

1851
01:19:22,370 --> 01:19:19,860
pressurized the launch vehicle gas

1852
01:19:25,310 --> 01:19:22,380
storage bottles those are composite over

1853
01:19:26,930 --> 01:19:25,320
wrap pressure vessels or copvs they

1854
01:19:41,830 --> 01:19:26,940
contain gases that are used to fill

1855
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:57,890
long term and then for uh next actions

1856
01:20:01,850 --> 01:19:59,870
so as the propellant is drained out of

1857
01:20:04,310 --> 01:20:01,860
the first and second stages uh we'll top

1858
01:20:06,890 --> 01:20:04,320
those off in the last half hour so uh

1859
01:20:09,110 --> 01:20:06,900
before lift off those copds now we also

1860
01:20:11,090 --> 01:20:09,120
use pressurized gases to spin the Merlin

1861
01:20:13,430 --> 01:20:11,100
engine turbo pump when we start an

1862
01:20:15,169 --> 01:20:13,440
engine in Space the second stage and

1863
01:20:17,510 --> 01:20:15,179
back engine starts up after the first

1864
01:20:19,850 --> 01:20:17,520
stage separates and then the first stage

1865
01:20:22,550 --> 01:20:19,860
engines need to be restarted for that

1866
01:20:25,130 --> 01:20:22,560
Landing sequence the gases are also used

1867
01:20:27,830 --> 01:20:25,140
for attitude Control Systems which help

1868
01:20:30,950 --> 01:20:27,840
the with the help the vehicle with its

1869
01:20:32,930 --> 01:20:30,960
orientation for deploying the grid fins

1870
01:20:34,729 --> 01:20:32,940
and Landing lights

1871
01:20:36,770 --> 01:20:34,739
now of course we're continuing to keep

1872
01:20:40,310 --> 01:20:36,780
an eye on the weather you can see it

1873
01:20:42,410 --> 01:20:40,320
remains a beautiful day at pad 39a we

1874
01:20:44,030 --> 01:20:42,420
are watching watching weather at the

1875
01:20:46,910 --> 01:20:44,040
launch site as well as around the world

1876
01:20:49,330 --> 01:20:46,920
uh for contingency abort and Landing

1877
01:20:53,870 --> 01:20:51,590
and it sounds like we're going to get

1878
01:20:55,790 --> 01:20:53,880
confirmation with leak checks now go

1879
01:20:58,070 --> 01:20:55,800
ahead SpaceX

1880
01:20:59,390 --> 01:20:58,080
all right Josh we saw you come in a

1881
01:21:01,430 --> 01:20:59,400
little bit lower than you did on dry

1882
01:21:03,050 --> 01:21:01,440
dress so just as a measure of precaution

1883
01:21:04,430 --> 01:21:03,060
we're going to have a close-up we need

1884
01:21:05,689 --> 01:21:04,440
to come in and just take a quick look

1885
01:21:07,610 --> 01:21:05,699
and double check that everything is

1886
01:21:11,450 --> 01:21:07,620
looking secure for zippers and

1887
01:21:18,770 --> 01:21:13,669
we copy and we were thinking the same

1888
01:21:24,410 --> 01:21:20,930
all right so it sounds like pilot Josh

1889
01:21:25,910 --> 01:21:24,420
cassida um his pre his suit pressure is

1890
01:21:28,070 --> 01:21:25,920
a little bit lower than what we read

1891
01:21:29,450 --> 01:21:28,080
during the dry dress which was the

1892
01:21:32,510 --> 01:21:29,460
basically dress rehearsal that we

1893
01:21:34,370 --> 01:21:32,520
performed early on Sunday October 2nd so

1894
01:21:36,050 --> 01:21:34,380
the team the closeout team is going to

1895
01:21:38,450 --> 01:21:36,060
come back in and just make sure that all

1896
01:21:40,250 --> 01:21:38,460
the zippers on this face suit are zipped

1897
01:21:42,050 --> 01:21:40,260
up to the appropriate height just make

1898
01:21:44,750 --> 01:21:42,060
sure that everything is locked into

1899
01:21:47,270 --> 01:21:44,760
place so um we have plenty of margin in

1900
01:21:49,250 --> 01:21:47,280
the launch countdown uh the countdown is

1901
01:21:51,110 --> 01:21:49,260
uh to make sure that all the teams are

1902
01:21:53,209 --> 01:21:51,120
working toward t0 in a coordinated

1903
01:21:55,910 --> 01:21:53,219
fashion and we have lots of margin uh

1904
01:21:58,250 --> 01:21:55,920
built in so we are okay to go in and

1905
01:22:01,490 --> 01:21:58,260
recheck that and re-perform that suit

1906
01:22:03,890 --> 01:22:01,500
that suit the check on Josh so at this

1907
01:22:05,630 --> 01:22:03,900
point in time everything continues to be

1908
01:22:08,270 --> 01:22:05,640
acceptable for launch we're coming up to

1909
01:22:09,950 --> 01:22:08,280
T minus two hours and six minutes so I'm

1910
01:22:11,750 --> 01:22:09,960
gonna toss it back to Daryl over at

1911
01:22:13,250 --> 01:22:11,760
Kennedy Space Center all right thank you

1912
01:22:16,850 --> 01:22:13,260
Kate and I'm here with Bob binkin

1913
01:22:18,709 --> 01:22:16,860
astronaut from demo two and uh NASA's

1914
01:22:21,169 --> 01:22:18,719
first mission and we want to talk a

1915
01:22:23,209 --> 01:22:21,179
little bit about that leak check Bob you

1916
01:22:26,990 --> 01:22:23,219
were following along as they were doing

1917
01:22:29,270 --> 01:22:27,000
the checks a crew now going inside to

1918
01:22:30,590 --> 01:22:29,280
double check Josh Cassidy's suit what's

1919
01:22:32,030 --> 01:22:30,600
that all about yeah that's that's

1920
01:22:34,070 --> 01:22:32,040
correct Daryl you know we heard the

1921
01:22:35,930 --> 01:22:34,080
words from the SpaceX team what they saw

1922
01:22:38,330 --> 01:22:35,940
was a slightly different indication than

1923
01:22:39,770 --> 01:22:38,340
they saw during Josh's last leak check

1924
01:22:41,330 --> 01:22:39,780
and the team is just going to double

1925
01:22:43,550 --> 01:22:41,340
check that to make sure that they don't

1926
01:22:45,470 --> 01:22:43,560
see anything awry just a abundance of

1927
01:22:46,970 --> 01:22:45,480
caution as you heard the crew reported

1928
01:22:48,770 --> 01:22:46,980
that they had a good leak check and so

1929
01:22:50,450 --> 01:22:48,780
the team's just using again an abundance

1930
01:22:52,430 --> 01:22:50,460
of caution and a little bit of air

1931
01:22:54,110 --> 01:22:52,440
obviously comes through that suit and

1932
01:22:55,310 --> 01:22:54,120
goes out the suit right so this is a

1933
01:22:57,590 --> 01:22:55,320
level that would be maybe a little

1934
01:23:00,110 --> 01:22:57,600
higher than than what they normally see

1935
01:23:01,910 --> 01:23:00,120
that's correct all right very good well

1936
01:23:03,410 --> 01:23:01,920
we're back here at Kennedy and the

1937
01:23:04,910 --> 01:23:03,420
weather is beautiful launch As We Stand

1938
01:23:08,030 --> 01:23:04,920
By and there you can see the suit Tech

1939
01:23:12,890 --> 01:23:08,040
in there examining the zippers and the

1940
01:23:17,570 --> 01:23:14,810
so they uh

1941
01:23:19,370 --> 01:23:17,580
they hadn't shut the hatch yet so that

1942
01:23:20,090 --> 01:23:19,380
was an easy entry for that Tech to go in

1943
01:23:25,669 --> 01:23:20,100
there

1944
01:23:28,970 --> 01:23:27,350
yeah so they'll check each of the places

1945
01:23:31,010 --> 01:23:28,980
where there could possibly be a league

1946
01:23:32,450 --> 01:23:31,020
one of the places is that umbilical that

1947
01:23:33,830 --> 01:23:32,460
you've seen them a disconnect and

1948
01:23:35,689 --> 01:23:33,840
they're now reattaching after they

1949
01:23:37,250 --> 01:23:35,699
checked the seal that was there they'll

1950
01:23:39,110 --> 01:23:37,260
verify the zippers that are on the suit

1951
01:23:41,870 --> 01:23:39,120
to make sure that those are all closed

1952
01:23:43,790 --> 01:23:41,880
all the way to the very end and I know

1953
01:23:45,890 --> 01:23:43,800
that for the crew these sorts of

1954
01:23:47,750 --> 01:23:45,900
situations can be a little bit uh

1955
01:23:49,310 --> 01:23:47,760
frustrating they can kind of break the

1956
01:23:50,930 --> 01:23:49,320
the sequence of events but I know

1957
01:23:52,610 --> 01:23:50,940
they'll get right back on track here and

1958
01:23:54,709 --> 01:23:52,620
uh continue

1959
01:23:56,689 --> 01:23:54,719
right these are highly trained

1960
01:23:58,550 --> 01:23:56,699
astronauts that have been getting ready

1961
01:23:59,630 --> 01:23:58,560
for this moment uh for the past couple

1962
01:24:01,970 --> 01:23:59,640
of years

1963
01:24:04,610 --> 01:24:01,980
certainly ready for all situations that

1964
01:24:07,790 --> 01:24:04,620
uh they may come up against

1965
01:24:10,010 --> 01:24:07,800
and these suits Bob Carey

1966
01:24:14,270 --> 01:24:10,020
a lot right into the spacecraft dragon

1967
01:24:19,490 --> 01:24:16,189
I'll pause P3 I've got you five by five

1968
01:24:19,500 --> 01:24:24,890
got you the same thank you

1969
01:24:29,750 --> 01:24:26,689
so I don't I don't want to speculate too

1970
01:24:31,250 --> 01:24:29,760
much but when you pull the

1971
01:24:33,110 --> 01:24:31,260
umbilical way you know there's an

1972
01:24:34,970 --> 01:24:33,120
opportunity for the calm system to just

1973
01:24:36,350 --> 01:24:34,980
need to be re-verified so we heard Josh

1974
01:24:37,910 --> 01:24:36,360
check back in

1975
01:24:40,010 --> 01:24:37,920
those connection points are grouped

1976
01:24:41,930 --> 01:24:40,020
together right you've got calm and air

1977
01:24:46,130 --> 01:24:41,940
flowing into the suit at the same

1978
01:24:52,250 --> 01:24:50,030
also giving a check to honest

1979
01:24:56,330 --> 01:24:52,260
or maybe just doing some

1980
01:24:56,340 --> 01:25:10,910
rechecking

1981
01:25:15,229 --> 01:25:13,130
we've had uh some social media questions

1982
01:25:18,290 --> 01:25:15,239
coming in we've asked you to participate

1983
01:25:21,050 --> 01:25:18,300
and we want to do that right now by

1984
01:25:26,330 --> 01:25:21,060
asking questions of our expert astronaut

1985
01:25:31,550 --> 01:25:28,570
of course you can hit us up at hashtag

1986
01:25:35,870 --> 01:25:31,560
asknasa on Facebook Twitter Youtube and

1987
01:25:41,510 --> 01:25:38,209
coming in from Andy hughes01

1988
01:25:44,450 --> 01:25:41,520
why do the new spacesuits involve long

1989
01:25:46,130 --> 01:25:44,460
rubber boots those are high boots

1990
01:25:48,470 --> 01:25:46,140
you know that's a it's a it's a great

1991
01:25:50,510 --> 01:25:48,480
question Daryl as to why uh you know the

1992
01:25:52,610 --> 01:25:50,520
SpaceX suit looks the way that it does

1993
01:25:54,290 --> 01:25:52,620
of course as a commercial company they

1994
01:25:56,450 --> 01:25:54,300
were free to come up with a suit that

1995
01:25:58,790 --> 01:25:56,460
really then had to be assessed whether

1996
01:26:01,370 --> 01:25:58,800
it actually accomplished the mission of

1997
01:26:03,229 --> 01:26:01,380
protecting the crew and uh in those

1998
01:26:06,470 --> 01:26:03,239
unlikely cases where there might need to

1999
01:26:07,669 --> 01:26:06,480
be an atmosphere of their own because

2000
01:26:10,370 --> 01:26:07,679
there was something wrong with the one

2001
01:26:12,649 --> 01:26:10,380
inside of the spaceship and so SpaceX

2002
01:26:14,810 --> 01:26:12,659
chose the the high boot configuration

2003
01:26:16,610 --> 01:26:14,820
there but it's a met the mission needs

2004
01:26:28,129 --> 01:26:16,620
and so you know the NASA team was able

2005
01:26:32,209 --> 01:26:29,570
all right we'll keep an eye on the

2006
01:26:34,310 --> 01:26:32,219
action inside crew Dragon endurance and

2007
01:26:38,629 --> 01:26:34,320
our four our three astronauts and one

2008
01:26:42,250 --> 01:26:38,639
cosmonaut who are standing by the uh

2009
01:26:44,689 --> 01:26:42,260
member of the closeout crew has eggs

2010
01:26:46,910 --> 01:26:44,699
we got a report from the closeout lead

2011
01:26:48,350 --> 01:26:46,920
about verifying all the zippers and

2012
01:26:49,550 --> 01:26:48,360
umbilicals we're just chatting with a

2013
01:26:50,870 --> 01:26:49,560
few more folks to see if there's any

2014
01:26:52,970 --> 01:26:50,880
other actions we want to take at this

2015
01:26:57,790 --> 01:26:52,980
time we do have 15 minutes remaining in

2016
01:27:02,990 --> 01:27:00,649
thank you

2017
01:27:05,930 --> 01:27:03,000
all right there you heard the discussion

2018
01:27:08,689 --> 01:27:05,940
between SpaceX and the NASA astronauts

2019
01:27:11,090 --> 01:27:08,699
and so although going into space is not

2020
01:27:13,070 --> 01:27:11,100
child's play every Dragon astronaut crew

2021
01:27:15,530 --> 01:27:13,080
brings a stuffed toy with them and

2022
01:27:17,689 --> 01:27:15,540
there's one inside the capsule right now

2023
01:27:19,729 --> 01:27:17,699
we're gonna you know step away from this

2024
01:27:21,169 --> 01:27:19,739
part of the uh the operation of course

2025
01:27:23,570 --> 01:27:21,179
we'll keep an eye on it make sure we

2026
01:27:24,950 --> 01:27:23,580
that nothing uh that nothing happens

2027
01:27:26,510 --> 01:27:24,960
that we don't make you aware of while

2028
01:27:27,950 --> 01:27:26,520
they're working on that but we want to

2029
01:27:31,370 --> 01:27:27,960
take a little lighter moment right and

2030
01:27:33,890 --> 01:27:31,380
uh look at the stuffed toys that are

2031
01:27:35,810 --> 01:27:33,900
inside the crew we don't know what the

2032
01:27:39,350 --> 01:27:35,820
uh or at least most people don't know

2033
01:27:42,110 --> 01:27:39,360
what's inside uh crew fives uh capsule

2034
01:27:44,149 --> 01:27:42,120
at the moment but it has a purpose when

2035
01:27:46,669 --> 01:27:44,159
the toy starts floating the strapped in

2036
01:27:49,310 --> 01:27:46,679
crew has confirmation they've reached

2037
01:27:51,470 --> 01:27:49,320
microgravity the toy is called a zero g

2038
01:27:54,590 --> 01:27:51,480
indicator and there's been a half dozen

2039
01:27:56,870 --> 01:27:54,600
or so on Dragon so far starting with

2040
01:27:59,390 --> 01:27:56,880
this little guy who can forget plush

2041
01:28:01,910 --> 01:27:59,400
Earth floating around by himself on the

2042
01:28:03,590 --> 01:28:01,920
first uncrewed test flight in 2017

2043
01:28:05,510 --> 01:28:03,600
called demo one

2044
01:28:06,770 --> 01:28:05,520
and that's Adam McLean there she was the

2045
01:28:08,450 --> 01:28:06,780
one that received it and that was

2046
01:28:10,490 --> 01:28:08,460
followed up by a sequin bedazzled

2047
01:28:12,770 --> 01:28:10,500
dinosaur named Tremor picked out by

2048
01:28:15,470 --> 01:28:12,780
those fellows right there Bob and Doug

2049
01:28:18,590 --> 01:28:15,480
Doug Hurley's son jack

2050
01:28:23,209 --> 01:28:18,600
and Bob's son Theo crew one then took a

2051
01:28:25,490 --> 01:28:23,219
toy baby grogu with them to the uh first

2052
01:28:28,070 --> 01:28:25,500
four-person crew when they reached space

2053
01:28:30,649 --> 01:28:28,080
but since then well it's been all

2054
01:28:33,950 --> 01:28:30,659
stuffed animals a penguin for crew two

2055
01:28:36,770 --> 01:28:33,960
and a turtle for crew three and a turtle

2056
01:28:37,729 --> 01:28:36,780
and a chimp for crew four as you can see

2057
01:28:40,550 --> 01:28:37,739
there

2058
01:28:42,649 --> 01:28:40,560
and so right here on set Bob was kind

2059
01:28:45,830 --> 01:28:42,659
enough to bring Tremor with him that you

2060
01:28:47,990 --> 01:28:45,840
saw floating around in his uh capsule uh

2061
01:28:49,850 --> 01:28:48,000
this is actually Tremor the one that

2062
01:28:51,590 --> 01:28:49,860
went up into space that's true Dale this

2063
01:28:54,169 --> 01:28:51,600
is the actual trimmer it's got the

2064
01:28:55,970 --> 01:28:54,179
tether still installed if you will that

2065
01:28:57,530 --> 01:28:55,980
we use to keep track of it so that it

2066
01:29:00,290 --> 01:28:57,540
didn't get lost on board the space

2067
01:29:02,209 --> 01:29:00,300
station or float too far away basics for

2068
01:29:03,649 --> 01:29:02,219
suit leak checks

2069
01:29:07,129 --> 01:29:03,659
there they go starting up the Super

2070
01:29:08,990 --> 01:29:07,139
League checks again go ahead Mike

2071
01:29:10,430 --> 01:29:09,000
all right Josh that completes the

2072
01:29:12,110 --> 01:29:10,440
troubleshooting actions we wanted to

2073
01:29:13,729 --> 01:29:12,120
take so we verified that your umbilical

2074
01:29:15,890 --> 01:29:13,739
has been reseeded and your zippers are

2075
01:29:18,229 --> 01:29:15,900
closed given that we are recommending

2076
01:29:21,410 --> 01:29:18,239
that we are that we that you proceed

2077
01:29:22,910 --> 01:29:21,420
back to section three of 4.100 and

2078
01:29:24,709 --> 01:29:22,920
re-perform the suit leak check

2079
01:29:27,709 --> 01:29:24,719
preparation and suit leak checks how

2080
01:29:32,689 --> 01:29:29,930
okay Dragon copies we're gonna step into

2081
01:29:34,490 --> 01:29:32,699
section three of 4.100 and we'll let you

2082
01:29:36,950 --> 01:29:34,500
know when we're ready to re-perform the

2083
01:29:39,590 --> 01:29:36,960
suit leak chest

2084
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:39,600
good read back

2085
01:29:43,490 --> 01:29:41,760
all right so they're gonna recheck those

2086
01:29:45,709 --> 01:29:43,500
suits and while they do that really

2087
01:29:49,790 --> 01:29:45,719
quickly how did how did your son choose

2088
01:29:51,590 --> 01:29:49,800
a bedazzled sequined uh dinosaur for

2089
01:29:53,149 --> 01:29:51,600
well Daryl you know you're never no

2090
01:29:55,430 --> 01:29:53,159
telling what goes through the minds of

2091
01:29:58,610 --> 01:29:55,440
two uh Young Elementary School boys uh

2092
01:30:00,410 --> 01:29:58,620
my son Theo and Doug's son jack but they

2093
01:30:02,149 --> 01:30:00,420
had a collection and dinosaurs were near

2094
01:30:03,649 --> 01:30:02,159
and dear to their hearts they went

2095
01:30:04,610 --> 01:30:03,659
through the collections that they had in

2096
01:30:07,070 --> 01:30:04,620
front of them and they picked the

2097
01:30:08,390 --> 01:30:07,080
Apatosaurus trimmer and so I'm glad that

2098
01:30:10,129 --> 01:30:08,400
some other folks have been able to

2099
01:30:12,050 --> 01:30:10,139
follow along with that tradition and be

2100
01:30:14,149 --> 01:30:12,060
able to excite a couple of kids if you

2101
01:30:16,189 --> 01:30:14,159
will about you know flying in space even

2102
01:30:18,110 --> 01:30:16,199
if it's for a stuffed animal it's great

2103
01:30:19,610 --> 01:30:18,120
to inspire the younger Generations about

2104
01:30:21,229 --> 01:30:19,620
space with something that they can

2105
01:30:23,330 --> 01:30:21,239
access and can you confirm that all the

2106
01:30:25,310 --> 01:30:23,340
sequins are still there I I can't

2107
01:30:27,169 --> 01:30:25,320
confirm and I do know that the teams

2108
01:30:28,970 --> 01:30:27,179
look really closely at each of the zero

2109
01:30:31,310 --> 01:30:28,980
g indicators to make sure they're

2110
01:30:33,530 --> 01:30:31,320
compatible with the SpaceX crew dragons

2111
01:30:35,510 --> 01:30:33,540
environment as well as the space station

2112
01:30:37,370 --> 01:30:35,520
environment and so we got approval and

2113
01:30:40,189 --> 01:30:37,380
we were able to take the Apatosaurus

2114
01:30:42,590 --> 01:30:40,199
trimmer with us into space I said and it

2115
01:30:44,510 --> 01:30:42,600
lives now in the Lincoln household crew

2116
01:30:47,629 --> 01:30:44,520
5 is the latest launch by Kennedy's

2117
01:30:53,870 --> 01:30:47,639
commercial crew program and there is

2118
01:30:59,030 --> 01:30:56,090
copy that Dragon you are go for section

2119
01:31:04,250 --> 01:30:59,040
four suit League check

2120
01:31:07,669 --> 01:31:05,810
the communication confirming they're

2121
01:31:09,890 --> 01:31:07,679
going to restart the suit League check

2122
01:31:12,410 --> 01:31:09,900
Bob Ben can tell me that the suits

2123
01:31:14,570 --> 01:31:12,420
inflate just a little bit

2124
01:31:16,310 --> 01:31:14,580
as they make that check

2125
01:31:18,050 --> 01:31:16,320
in the meantime we'll take an interview

2126
01:31:19,910 --> 01:31:18,060
now and

2127
01:31:22,910 --> 01:31:19,920
check in with Kennedy's commercial crew

2128
01:31:24,590 --> 01:31:22,920
program it was created in 2011. and has

2129
01:31:26,510 --> 01:31:24,600
been flying astronauts from American

2130
01:31:28,729 --> 01:31:26,520
soil to the International Space Station

2131
01:31:31,070 --> 01:31:28,739
for the last two years let's bring in

2132
01:31:33,590 --> 01:31:31,080
NASA's Megan Cruz who's with Kennedy

2133
01:31:35,030 --> 01:31:33,600
Center Director Janet Petro hi I'm Daryl

2134
01:31:36,530 --> 01:31:35,040
thank you so much Janet it's always so

2135
01:31:38,149 --> 01:31:36,540
great to have you here especially for a

2136
01:31:41,209 --> 01:31:38,159
day like today you know we're about to

2137
01:31:42,950 --> 01:31:41,219
launch this new crew to the ISS how do

2138
01:31:45,050 --> 01:31:42,960
you feel about Kennedy again playing

2139
01:31:47,209 --> 01:31:45,060
this important role in continuing what

2140
01:31:49,189 --> 01:31:47,219
we do on the space Oh well thank you so

2141
01:31:51,290 --> 01:31:49,199
much Megan for the question and as you

2142
01:31:53,090 --> 01:31:51,300
know you know Kennedy has a very long

2143
01:31:55,189 --> 01:31:53,100
history of doing really some incredible

2144
01:31:57,470 --> 01:31:55,199
things and of course we were established

2145
01:31:59,930 --> 01:31:57,480
60 years ago to do the incredible

2146
01:32:02,390 --> 01:31:59,940
mission of Landing a man on the moon and

2147
01:32:05,270 --> 01:32:02,400
then returning him safely and in the six

2148
01:32:07,189 --> 01:32:05,280
decades since then we've been doing an

2149
01:32:08,870 --> 01:32:07,199
incredible amount of impactful missions

2150
01:32:11,629 --> 01:32:08,880
and a lot of those missions have really

2151
01:32:15,229 --> 01:32:11,639
helped what we do here on Earth and for

2152
01:32:17,090 --> 01:32:15,239
the benefit of mankind here on Earth you

2153
01:32:18,649 --> 01:32:17,100
know that on orbiting laboratory that we

2154
01:32:20,990 --> 01:32:18,659
have out there up there is doing

2155
01:32:22,669 --> 01:32:21,000
incredible science and technology and

2156
01:32:24,590 --> 01:32:22,679
research that's really benefit getting

2157
01:32:26,330 --> 01:32:24,600
humankind here yeah yeah talk to us

2158
01:32:28,370 --> 01:32:26,340
about some of the things that that we've

2159
01:32:29,990 --> 01:32:28,380
been able to change and impact here on

2160
01:32:31,250 --> 01:32:30,000
Earth because we are launching and

2161
01:32:33,290 --> 01:32:31,260
because of what we're doing here at

2162
01:32:35,450 --> 01:32:33,300
candidates yeah so

2163
01:32:38,570 --> 01:32:35,460
um it's incredible to think that 24

2164
01:32:39,890 --> 01:32:38,580
years ago was the first uh section the

2165
01:32:42,290 --> 01:32:39,900
module of the International Space

2166
01:32:44,810 --> 01:32:42,300
Station called Unity which was launched

2167
01:32:47,689 --> 01:32:44,820
and in that time since then we've had

2168
01:32:49,370 --> 01:32:47,699
more than 20 years of a human continuous

2169
01:32:51,709 --> 01:32:49,380
presence on the International Space

2170
01:32:53,750 --> 01:32:51,719
Station and every single time we launch

2171
01:32:56,870 --> 01:32:53,760
a vehicle whether it's a cargo or crew

2172
01:32:59,270 --> 01:32:56,880
we send up science and cargo and

2173
01:33:01,310 --> 01:32:59,280
payloads where we do science research

2174
01:33:03,350 --> 01:33:01,320
and Technology development and that and

2175
01:33:04,810 --> 01:33:03,360
all of that not only benefits what we do

2176
01:33:07,910 --> 01:33:04,820
here on Earth

2177
01:33:10,189 --> 01:33:07,920
promoting technology and and bettering

2178
01:33:11,810 --> 01:33:10,199
our life here but also helps us to look

2179
01:33:14,270 --> 01:33:11,820
forward to when we go back to the moon

2180
01:33:16,669 --> 01:33:14,280
and then on to Mars I'll talk about a

2181
01:33:18,770 --> 01:33:16,679
few projects that we do here at Kennedy

2182
01:33:20,629 --> 01:33:18,780
that I'm really proud of one is the m

2183
01:33:23,390 --> 01:33:20,639
solo it's a commercial off-the-shelf

2184
01:33:26,330 --> 01:33:23,400
Mass spectrometer um that'll help us

2185
01:33:30,050 --> 01:33:26,340
seek out and search for ice on the lunar

2186
01:33:32,030 --> 01:33:30,060
surface and then of course we do we have

2187
01:33:34,129 --> 01:33:32,040
the experts resident here at Kennedy for

2188
01:33:35,570 --> 01:33:34,139
plant biology and as we're going to be

2189
01:33:38,270 --> 01:33:35,580
sending our astronauts further and

2190
01:33:39,530 --> 01:33:38,280
further into space uh to the moon and uh

2191
01:33:40,910 --> 01:33:39,540
and then on to Mars you know they're

2192
01:33:42,709 --> 01:33:40,920
going to want some fresh food and so

2193
01:33:45,890 --> 01:33:42,719
that plant research is really going to

2194
01:33:47,450 --> 01:33:45,900
help enable that to happen yeah and of

2195
01:33:48,890 --> 01:33:47,460
course we're alluding to Artemis one you

2196
01:33:50,750 --> 01:33:48,900
know right behind us is the iconic

2197
01:33:53,030 --> 01:33:50,760
Vehicle Assembly Building inside there

2198
01:33:55,129 --> 01:33:53,040
is our Artemis one Moon rocket how

2199
01:33:56,990 --> 01:33:55,139
excited are you for a launch later this

2200
01:33:59,149 --> 01:33:57,000
year and just excited for for again

2201
01:34:01,669 --> 01:33:59,159
Kennedy's role in deep space exploration

2202
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:01,679
yeah it's it's an incredible honor to be

2203
01:34:05,990 --> 01:34:04,020
here leading the center for that really

2204
01:34:08,030 --> 01:34:06,000
really historic Mission coming up and of

2205
01:34:09,410 --> 01:34:08,040
course Ian threw us a curve ball and so

2206
01:34:13,370 --> 01:34:09,420
we had you know we made the right

2207
01:34:15,830 --> 01:34:13,380
decision and went back into the VAB but

2208
01:34:17,689 --> 01:34:15,840
the energy around the center and even

2209
01:34:19,430 --> 01:34:17,699
across the whole Space Case is still

2210
01:34:21,470 --> 01:34:19,440
very palpable

2211
01:34:23,270 --> 01:34:21,480
um looking forward to that launch and

2212
01:34:25,850 --> 01:34:23,280
when it goes boy it's going to really

2213
01:34:27,830 --> 01:34:25,860
rock the entire Space Coast and as I

2214
01:34:33,070 --> 01:34:27,840
said and copy that Dragon we saw the

2215
01:34:37,430 --> 01:34:35,990
and then on to Mars Janet thank you so

2216
01:34:40,010 --> 01:34:37,440
much I mean actually just heard a call

2217
01:34:43,370 --> 01:34:40,020
out there we are going to proceed with

2218
01:34:45,890 --> 01:34:43,380
the count uh and move into section five

2219
01:34:47,330 --> 01:34:45,900
of four side hash closure And Delay any

2220
01:34:52,310 --> 01:34:47,340
other troubleshooting steps until we get

2221
01:34:57,110 --> 01:34:55,010
okay that's great news dragons copy and

2222
01:35:00,470 --> 01:34:57,120
we are going to continue into section

2223
01:35:04,129 --> 01:35:00,480
three of 4.100.

2224
01:35:05,930 --> 01:35:04,139
sometimes it's inside of 4.100

2225
01:35:07,850 --> 01:35:05,940
. Jenna thank you so much so sorry about

2226
01:35:09,110 --> 01:35:07,860
that we did want to take a pause so that

2227
01:35:10,490 --> 01:35:09,120
people can hear again the operational

2228
01:35:12,229 --> 01:35:10,500
Loops that we're listening into but

2229
01:35:14,390 --> 01:35:12,239
thank you so much I hope to be watching

2230
01:35:16,669 --> 01:35:14,400
Artemis one with you soon thank you very

2231
01:35:18,169 --> 01:35:16,679
much Megan and go crew five perfect

2232
01:35:20,209 --> 01:35:18,179
Jenna thank you so much back to you

2233
01:35:23,390 --> 01:35:20,219
Daryl and Bob bye-bye thank you Megan

2234
01:35:25,430 --> 01:35:23,400
and Janet and as we were watching uh the

2235
01:35:27,950 --> 01:35:25,440
crew there we saw their suits inflate we

2236
01:35:30,770 --> 01:35:27,960
saw that uh that pressurization happen

2237
01:35:32,090 --> 01:35:30,780
and then you heard a report out and if

2238
01:35:34,129 --> 01:35:32,100
you could just recap that for me Bob

2239
01:35:36,470 --> 01:35:34,139
yeah I think the team saw similar

2240
01:35:38,030 --> 01:35:36,480
indications but uh it was uh four good

2241
01:35:39,830 --> 01:35:38,040
leak checks with similar performance

2242
01:35:41,330 --> 01:35:39,840
from all three suits uh that are all

2243
01:35:42,950 --> 01:35:41,340
four suits that they saw during that

2244
01:35:45,290 --> 01:35:42,960
first leak check that they accomplished

2245
01:35:47,629 --> 01:35:45,300
today inside the capsule

2246
01:35:48,890 --> 01:35:47,639
so they're going to continue with the

2247
01:35:50,450 --> 01:35:48,900
launch count and any further

2248
01:35:52,129 --> 01:35:50,460
troubleshooting will be delayed until

2249
01:35:55,370 --> 01:35:52,139
they're on orbit so we're ready to

2250
01:36:00,950 --> 01:35:57,950
and so up next you can see there is the

2251
01:36:02,750 --> 01:36:00,960
closure of the hatch

2252
01:36:06,709 --> 01:36:02,760
and the closeout team will begin

2253
01:36:10,250 --> 01:36:06,719
performing that there they are

2254
01:36:12,649 --> 01:36:10,260
the hatch is above the entryway

2255
01:36:15,229 --> 01:36:12,659
into dragon

2256
01:36:19,010 --> 01:36:15,239
they'll remove the environmental

2257
01:36:25,129 --> 01:36:21,830
they'll document that seal

2258
01:36:27,110 --> 01:36:25,139
and put that on their mobile pads

2259
01:36:29,450 --> 01:36:27,120
and move through

2260
01:36:30,830 --> 01:36:29,460
the process

2261
01:36:32,990 --> 01:36:30,840
you know I always think of things like

2262
01:36:35,390 --> 01:36:33,000
hatch closure as closing the door and

2263
01:36:37,129 --> 01:36:35,400
it's done in an instant but the closure

2264
01:36:39,470 --> 01:36:37,139
of the hatch on a spacecraft is done

2265
01:36:41,390 --> 01:36:39,480
very carefully with a lot of meticulous

2266
01:36:44,030 --> 01:36:41,400
steps to ensure that that environmental

2267
01:36:45,229 --> 01:36:44,040
seal is uh just pristine and they are

2268
01:36:46,490 --> 01:36:45,239
going to get a good seal when they close

2269
01:36:48,770 --> 01:36:46,500
it up

2270
01:36:50,570 --> 01:36:48,780
you had the tech go over it and in back

2271
01:36:53,390 --> 01:36:50,580
into the spacecraft so

2272
01:36:56,330 --> 01:36:53,400
double check on that

2273
01:36:58,010 --> 01:36:56,340
they also document the seal

2274
01:37:00,110 --> 01:36:58,020
you'll see one of the texts take

2275
01:37:06,709 --> 01:37:00,120
pictures all the way around

2276
01:37:11,209 --> 01:37:08,750
and we can think some about that hatch

2277
01:37:13,010 --> 01:37:11,219
being closed and then it'll be reopened

2278
01:37:15,950 --> 01:37:13,020
when they come back at the end of their

2279
01:37:17,390 --> 01:37:15,960
mission after Splashdown and when the

2280
01:37:19,370 --> 01:37:17,400
when the vehicle is brought on board the

2281
01:37:20,870 --> 01:37:19,380
ship so it's going to stay close for a

2282
01:37:22,550 --> 01:37:20,880
long time if after they get it closed

2283
01:37:24,470 --> 01:37:22,560
for the spacecraft launch that's a great

2284
01:37:30,470 --> 01:37:24,480
point

2285
01:37:34,669 --> 01:37:32,750
Dragon closeout team is taking final

2286
01:37:36,950 --> 01:37:34,679
steps in preparation for side hatch

2287
01:37:39,290 --> 01:37:36,960
closure standby for transition to Pat

2288
01:37:41,990 --> 01:37:39,300
hatch closed ensure that all items are

2289
01:37:43,550 --> 01:37:42,000
secure from now through launch

2290
01:37:46,490 --> 01:37:43,560
and what is that Bob

2291
01:37:48,709 --> 01:37:46,500
it's just a protective piece of dragon

2292
01:37:51,100 --> 01:37:48,719
copy to make sure no fun or anything

2293
01:37:54,709 --> 01:37:51,110
falls down into that area

2294
01:37:57,709 --> 01:37:54,719
[Music]

2295
01:38:02,930 --> 01:38:00,649
so in some protective equipment for the

2296
01:38:04,490 --> 01:38:02,940
seal there on the on the spacecraft all

2297
01:38:06,890 --> 01:38:04,500
right very good we'll keep watching the

2298
01:38:08,750 --> 01:38:06,900
action and tracking the progress as we

2299
01:38:11,330 --> 01:38:08,760
head down towards launch T minus one

2300
01:38:12,770 --> 01:38:11,340
hour and 50 minutes until liftoff of

2301
01:38:14,930 --> 01:38:12,780
crew five

2302
01:38:17,030 --> 01:38:14,940
I want to head on out to Megan Cruz who

2303
01:38:18,709 --> 01:38:17,040
is with our NASA administrator Bill

2304
01:38:20,090 --> 01:38:18,719
Nelson

2305
01:38:22,370 --> 01:38:20,100
yes our honor to have you here

2306
01:38:23,750 --> 01:38:22,380
administrator thank you so much I want

2307
01:38:26,030 --> 01:38:23,760
to talk to you about how we've had this

2308
01:38:27,790 --> 01:38:26,040
continued presence on the ISS for 22

2309
01:38:32,270 --> 01:38:27,800
years what do you think of that Legacy

2310
01:38:34,970 --> 01:38:32,280
isn't that something uh think of the 3

2311
01:38:36,770 --> 01:38:34,980
000 investigations that we have done

2312
01:38:39,649 --> 01:38:36,780
scientific

2313
01:38:42,770 --> 01:38:39,659
uh things and and the innumerable things

2314
01:38:44,330 --> 01:38:42,780
that we've actually discovered doing all

2315
01:38:45,950 --> 01:38:44,340
of this science on the International

2316
01:38:48,410 --> 01:38:45,960
Space Station

2317
01:38:52,010 --> 01:38:48,420
of course it helps us train our

2318
01:38:54,649 --> 01:38:52,020
astronauts as we get ready to go fly to

2319
01:38:57,110 --> 01:38:54,659
the moon and then we're going to go to

2320
01:38:58,790 --> 01:38:57,120
Mars yeah it's such a unique and awesome

2321
01:39:00,770 --> 01:38:58,800
platform so yeah the fact that we can

2322
01:39:01,790 --> 01:39:00,780
have this continued presence is so so

2323
01:39:03,290 --> 01:39:01,800
great

2324
01:39:06,050 --> 01:39:03,300
um and you know crew 5 is this first

2325
01:39:08,090 --> 01:39:06,060
mission to resume integrated uh crew

2326
01:39:10,370 --> 01:39:08,100
flights to the space station with Ross

2327
01:39:11,990 --> 01:39:10,380
Cosmos integrated Crews have always been

2328
01:39:14,570 --> 01:39:12,000
the norm on the space station right

2329
01:39:16,030 --> 01:39:14,580
that's right because we built the Space

2330
01:39:19,629 --> 01:39:16,040
Station together

2331
01:39:22,129 --> 01:39:19,639
now with 15 Nations

2332
01:39:24,729 --> 01:39:22,139
particularly uh with the Russians

2333
01:39:29,209 --> 01:39:24,739
there's a Russian segment on the station

2334
01:39:33,169 --> 01:39:29,219
they provide the propulsion we the U.S

2335
01:39:37,010 --> 01:39:33,179
provides the electricity so for the

2336
01:39:40,010 --> 01:39:37,020
safety of all the crew as well as the

2337
01:39:42,770 --> 01:39:40,020
operation of the station we need both

2338
01:39:46,790 --> 01:39:42,780
there now particularly with regard to

2339
01:39:50,990 --> 01:39:46,800
safety uh if there were a problem for

2340
01:39:53,390 --> 01:39:51,000
example with one of our uh ability to

2341
01:39:56,689 --> 01:39:53,400
get to earth say we had a medical

2342
01:40:00,169 --> 01:39:56,699
emergency and had to get somebody to

2343
01:40:03,649 --> 01:40:00,179
Earth you need that integrated crew so

2344
01:40:06,530 --> 01:40:03,659
we can still operate both parts of the

2345
01:40:09,050 --> 01:40:06,540
space station so safety is a big reason

2346
01:40:11,450 --> 01:40:09,060
for us yeah and you know we are

2347
01:40:14,209 --> 01:40:11,460
launching uh today with the help of

2348
01:40:16,250 --> 01:40:14,219
SpaceX what do you think about uh the

2349
01:40:18,169 --> 01:40:16,260
fact that we've had such a wonderful uh

2350
01:40:19,490 --> 01:40:18,179
Cadence with SpaceX these last two years

2351
01:40:22,310 --> 01:40:19,500
with the with the commercial crew

2352
01:40:24,350 --> 01:40:22,320
program well SpaceX has been excellent

2353
01:40:26,990 --> 01:40:24,360
to work with and the proof's in the

2354
01:40:28,490 --> 01:40:27,000
pudding as a matter of fact what's

2355
01:40:30,709 --> 01:40:28,500
happening at the cape is just

2356
01:40:33,470 --> 01:40:30,719
unbelievable last night there was an

2357
01:40:36,169 --> 01:40:33,480
atlas launch today we're launching crew

2358
01:40:38,750 --> 01:40:36,179
to the station uh tomorrow they're going

2359
01:40:43,250 --> 01:40:38,760
to launch two communication satellites

2360
01:40:45,830 --> 01:40:43,260
all within the span of three days so

2361
01:40:48,890 --> 01:40:45,840
it's incredible but but SpaceX has

2362
01:40:52,129 --> 01:40:48,900
really been inventive creative they've

2363
01:40:55,270 --> 01:40:52,139
been a good partner for NASA and it it

2364
01:40:57,590 --> 01:40:55,280
shows that this commercial

2365
01:41:00,290 --> 01:40:57,600
public-private partnership is actually

2366
01:41:02,390 --> 01:41:00,300
working yeah and now as we're under two

2367
01:41:03,830 --> 01:41:02,400
minutes uh it's a launch of of crew five

2368
01:41:05,030 --> 01:41:03,840
what do you have to say to the crew any

2369
01:41:06,770 --> 01:41:05,040
message for them

2370
01:41:07,310 --> 01:41:06,780
well not only

2371
01:41:13,129 --> 01:41:07,320
um

2372
01:41:14,570 --> 01:41:13,139
go dragon Go NASA but godspeed and two

2373
01:41:17,510 --> 01:41:14,580
hours to launch I misspoke I'm too

2374
01:41:18,830 --> 01:41:17,520
excited you are administrator thank you

2375
01:41:21,649 --> 01:41:18,840
so much I appreciate you being here

2376
01:41:27,430 --> 01:41:21,659
again check it back in with our partners

2377
01:41:32,030 --> 01:41:30,770
thanks Megan and when crew 5 arrives at

2378
01:41:34,430 --> 01:41:32,040
the space station tomorrow evening

2379
01:41:36,830 --> 01:41:34,440
they'll officially become Expedition 68

2380
01:41:38,750 --> 01:41:36,840
flight Engineers once on board they'll

2381
01:41:41,270 --> 01:41:38,760
do something known as a direct Handover

2382
01:41:42,890 --> 01:41:41,280
basically saying that crew 4 and crew 5

2383
01:41:46,010 --> 01:41:42,900
will be on board the station together

2384
01:41:48,410 --> 01:41:46,020
until crew 4 comes home next week

2385
01:41:49,910 --> 01:41:48,420
crew 4 will be able to give crew 5 and

2386
01:41:52,189 --> 01:41:49,920
orientation and show them the ropes

2387
01:41:55,070 --> 01:41:52,199
which will be particularly helpful for

2388
01:41:58,490 --> 01:41:55,080
first-time space Flyers Nicole Mann Josh

2389
01:42:00,649 --> 01:41:58,500
cassida and Anna kikuna

2390
01:42:02,570 --> 01:42:00,659
a direct Handover also helps ensure

2391
01:42:05,450 --> 01:42:02,580
continuous U.S presence on the space

2392
01:42:07,790 --> 01:42:05,460
station a record we've held almost 22

2393
01:42:10,010 --> 01:42:07,800
years the space station is an orbiting

2394
01:42:12,350 --> 01:42:10,020
laboratory and they will jump right into

2395
01:42:15,470 --> 01:42:12,360
research and investigations

2396
01:42:17,450 --> 01:42:15,480
now I'll toss it over to Daryl at the

2397
01:42:19,850 --> 01:42:17,460
Kennedy Space Center

2398
01:42:22,910 --> 01:42:19,860
with a little bit more of that science

2399
01:42:26,629 --> 01:42:22,920
Daryl absolutely thank you very much

2400
01:42:30,950 --> 01:42:28,790
and we continue to monitor the closure

2401
01:42:34,669 --> 01:42:30,960
of the hatch on the crew dragon

2402
01:42:38,570 --> 01:42:36,590
want to take a closer look now at some

2403
01:42:40,729 --> 01:42:38,580
of the life-changing science astronauts

2404
01:42:43,550 --> 01:42:40,739
are performing aboard the International

2405
01:42:47,750 --> 01:42:45,709
the International Space Station is a

2406
01:42:49,790 --> 01:42:47,760
state-of-the-art microgravity laboratory

2407
01:42:51,950 --> 01:42:49,800
that is unlocking discoveries not

2408
01:42:54,830 --> 01:42:51,960
possible on Earth and helping us push

2409
01:42:57,290 --> 01:42:54,840
farther into deep space every single day

2410
01:42:59,510 --> 01:42:57,300
we are answering big questions about

2411
01:43:00,830 --> 01:42:59,520
Earth and about space about where we

2412
01:43:02,689 --> 01:43:00,840
came from and about where we're going

2413
01:43:05,689 --> 01:43:02,699
but the other thing that we're doing is

2414
01:43:06,430 --> 01:43:05,699
we're learning more questions to ask

2415
01:43:08,629 --> 01:43:06,440
foreign

2416
01:43:11,030 --> 01:43:08,639
[Music]

2417
01:43:13,970 --> 01:43:11,040
microgravity turns almost everything we

2418
01:43:15,530 --> 01:43:13,980
know upside down liquids behave

2419
01:43:18,189 --> 01:43:15,540
completely differently

2420
01:43:20,930 --> 01:43:18,199
Fire Burns in New Waves

2421
01:43:22,850 --> 01:43:20,940
biological systems reveal surprises

2422
01:43:24,770 --> 01:43:22,860
there's a few things that may have made

2423
01:43:26,270 --> 01:43:24,780
me gasp out loud at bombard space

2424
01:43:28,729 --> 01:43:26,280
station watching heart cells actually

2425
01:43:30,890 --> 01:43:28,739
beat has been a pretty big one

2426
01:43:32,149 --> 01:43:30,900
we're studying ways to grow food in

2427
01:43:35,149 --> 01:43:32,159
microgravity

2428
01:43:37,609 --> 01:43:35,159
I gotta tell you these uh

2429
01:43:40,669 --> 01:43:37,619
these are pretty amazing we're learning

2430
01:43:42,590 --> 01:43:40,679
how human bodies react to life in space

2431
01:43:44,629 --> 01:43:42,600
and how to keep crew members safe and

2432
01:43:47,149 --> 01:43:44,639
strong on long duration exploration

2433
01:43:50,450 --> 01:43:47,159
missions deadlifts are awesome on Earth

2434
01:43:52,550 --> 01:43:50,460
they're also awesome in zero gravity

2435
01:43:54,590 --> 01:43:52,560
we're testing technologies that will be

2436
01:43:57,590 --> 01:43:54,600
critical to our return to the moon and

2437
01:43:59,750 --> 01:43:57,600
great leap to Mars

2438
01:44:01,810 --> 01:43:59,760
our research has contributed to medical

2439
01:44:04,550 --> 01:44:01,820
and social benefits on our home planet

2440
01:44:06,830 --> 01:44:04,560
allowing us to find new ways to combat

2441
01:44:09,169 --> 01:44:06,840
disease back on Earth and develop

2442
01:44:13,070 --> 01:44:09,179
Technologies to deliver clean water to

2443
01:44:18,109 --> 01:44:15,470
spectacular vantage point of more than

2444
01:44:20,209 --> 01:44:18,119
200 miles above our planet supports our

2445
01:44:23,390 --> 01:44:20,219
monitoring of Earth's climate natural

2446
01:44:25,430 --> 01:44:23,400
disasters and plant life the orbital

2447
01:44:27,410 --> 01:44:25,440
perspective that we have here on the ISS

2448
01:44:29,050 --> 01:44:27,420
is just absolutely amazing earth is

2449
01:44:32,390 --> 01:44:29,060
gorgeous

2450
01:44:34,850 --> 01:44:32,400
the growing new space economy so vital

2451
01:44:38,450 --> 01:44:34,860
to our continued progress in space is

2452
01:44:41,450 --> 01:44:38,460
flourishing in lower aborted

2453
01:44:43,250 --> 01:44:41,460
we're inspiring future Generations from

2454
01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:43,260
a platform that is one of the largest

2455
01:44:47,330 --> 01:44:45,770
International collaborations of our time

2456
01:44:51,229 --> 01:44:47,340
[Music]

2457
01:44:52,189 --> 01:44:51,239
we're doing science at 17 500 miles per

2458
01:44:55,070 --> 01:44:52,199
hour

2459
01:44:57,530 --> 01:44:55,080
I'm along for the ride

2460
01:45:00,590 --> 01:44:57,540
[Music]

2461
01:45:03,649 --> 01:45:00,600
so much about what these missions are

2462
01:45:06,169 --> 01:45:03,659
about is the science and even though Bob

2463
01:45:07,910 --> 01:45:06,179
you were telling me test flight

2464
01:45:10,070 --> 01:45:07,920
um of course it was historic at the time

2465
01:45:11,990 --> 01:45:10,080
that was reestablishing America's

2466
01:45:13,850 --> 01:45:12,000
presence to launch from American soil

2467
01:45:15,890 --> 01:45:13,860
get to the space station it didn't have

2468
01:45:17,689 --> 01:45:15,900
a lot of science on your flight but when

2469
01:45:19,129 --> 01:45:17,699
you got up there there was a lot of

2470
01:45:21,530 --> 01:45:19,139
science to do right even a backlog

2471
01:45:23,149 --> 01:45:21,540
absolutely Daryl you know for my guest

2472
01:45:24,649 --> 01:45:23,159
for my launch guest even though it was a

2473
01:45:26,330 --> 01:45:24,659
test flight that we were headed to the

2474
01:45:29,689 --> 01:45:26,340
space station to check out a new vehicle

2475
01:45:31,729 --> 01:45:29,699
my t-shirt said because science and that

2476
01:45:33,649 --> 01:45:31,739
was the reason that we were going and I

2477
01:45:35,629 --> 01:45:33,659
was proud to be a part of the when I

2478
01:45:37,609 --> 01:45:35,639
arrived at space station of the science

2479
01:45:38,810 --> 01:45:37,619
that we were able to accomplish as you

2480
01:45:41,570 --> 01:45:38,820
mentioned there was a bit of a backlog

2481
01:45:44,330 --> 01:45:41,580
we had a single U.S crew member and Doug

2482
01:45:46,250 --> 01:45:44,340
and I were put into a service right away

2483
01:45:48,649 --> 01:45:46,260
trying to support getting the science

2484
01:45:50,629 --> 01:45:48,659
program back up and running and back at

2485
01:45:52,850 --> 01:45:50,639
full speed working hard on that science

2486
01:45:53,810 --> 01:45:52,860
just like our next guest who is joining

2487
01:45:55,609 --> 01:45:53,820
us now

2488
01:45:57,790 --> 01:45:55,619
we have Mike Roberts here with us he is

2489
01:46:00,350 --> 01:45:57,800
the chief scientist for the ISS National

2490
01:46:02,149 --> 01:46:00,360
Laboratory Mike thank you so much for

2491
01:46:04,010 --> 01:46:02,159
being here with us today it's a

2492
01:46:05,629 --> 01:46:04,020
beautiful day to launch and a good day

2493
01:46:07,189 --> 01:46:05,639
to talk about some of the science that's

2494
01:46:10,209 --> 01:46:07,199
on board you've got currently as I

2495
01:46:13,189 --> 01:46:10,219
understand 235 investigations on board

2496
01:46:14,870 --> 01:46:13,199
76 of them are new and you got a little

2497
01:46:16,910 --> 01:46:14,880
bit of them flying right on this rocket

2498
01:46:18,470 --> 01:46:16,920
here behind us yeah it certainly is a

2499
01:46:20,149 --> 01:46:18,480
beautiful day here today and we look

2500
01:46:22,910 --> 01:46:20,159
forward to getting the science off the

2501
01:46:24,709 --> 01:46:22,920
ground as Bob indicated it's a very busy

2502
01:46:27,709 --> 01:46:24,719
time up in orbit for the crew because

2503
01:46:30,470 --> 01:46:27,719
they are very busy not only maintaining

2504
01:46:33,290 --> 01:46:30,480
the science portfolio of of NASA so that

2505
01:46:34,970 --> 01:46:33,300
we can continue to live and operate in

2506
01:46:37,850 --> 01:46:34,980
space they're also conducting Science

2507
01:46:39,649 --> 01:46:37,860
and Space that benefits benefits us here

2508
01:46:41,510 --> 01:46:39,659
directly on Earth and that's an

2509
01:46:43,729 --> 01:46:41,520
important part of why the ISS National

2510
01:46:45,590 --> 01:46:43,739
Laboratory exists what are some of the

2511
01:46:48,890 --> 01:46:45,600
signs the crew 5 is working on

2512
01:46:50,510 --> 01:46:48,900
so as the crew goes up today and and uh

2513
01:46:52,430 --> 01:46:50,520
docks the station they're going to be

2514
01:46:55,250 --> 01:46:52,440
engaged in a lot of research that

2515
01:46:57,050 --> 01:46:55,260
addresses medical needs here on Earth we

2516
01:46:58,970 --> 01:46:57,060
have Partnerships with the National

2517
01:47:00,109 --> 01:46:58,980
Institutes of Health through the

2518
01:47:02,450 --> 01:47:00,119
national Center for advancing

2519
01:47:04,070 --> 01:47:02,460
translational Sciences which is doing

2520
01:47:05,810 --> 01:47:04,080
some very important research that

2521
01:47:08,810 --> 01:47:05,820
leverages the access to persistent

2522
01:47:10,550 --> 01:47:08,820
microgravity debt environment as Bob I'm

2523
01:47:12,709 --> 01:47:10,560
sure experienced the microgravity

2524
01:47:14,570 --> 01:47:12,719
environment your body's physiology

2525
01:47:17,629 --> 01:47:14,580
adapts to that environment in different

2526
01:47:20,570 --> 01:47:17,639
ways and in some cases those effects of

2527
01:47:22,250 --> 01:47:20,580
microgravity on the body mimic the onset

2528
01:47:24,350 --> 01:47:22,260
and progression of disease and aging

2529
01:47:26,270 --> 01:47:24,360
here on Earth so the National Institutes

2530
01:47:29,390 --> 01:47:26,280
of Health is taking advantage of that by

2531
01:47:31,189 --> 01:47:29,400
sending small cells in tiny bioreactors

2532
01:47:33,649 --> 01:47:31,199
up to space to understand how those

2533
01:47:36,350 --> 01:47:33,659
individual systems respond to that

2534
01:47:38,270 --> 01:47:36,360
environment so that we can design more

2535
01:47:40,910 --> 01:47:38,280
effective Therapeutics for use here on

2536
01:47:42,770 --> 01:47:40,920
Earth we also have experiments launching

2537
01:47:45,290 --> 01:47:42,780
on crew 5 going up with the crew today

2538
01:47:47,930 --> 01:47:45,300
that are going to explore the effects of

2539
01:47:52,129 --> 01:47:47,940
microgravity on the gut microbiome

2540
01:47:53,629 --> 01:47:52,139
a company is uh involved with Los Alamos

2541
01:47:56,629 --> 01:47:53,639
National Laboratory so it's another

2542
01:47:59,390 --> 01:47:56,639
collaboration between ISS National Lab

2543
01:48:01,310 --> 01:47:59,400
Los Alamos National Lab and its Partners

2544
01:48:04,250 --> 01:48:01,320
to better understand how microgravity

2545
01:48:05,149 --> 01:48:04,260
impacts the gut microbiome and the human

2546
01:48:07,189 --> 01:48:05,159
body

2547
01:48:08,990 --> 01:48:07,199
microgravity certainly an impact on

2548
01:48:10,850 --> 01:48:09,000
astronauts the entire time they're out

2549
01:48:12,590 --> 01:48:10,860
there we've been studying this for so

2550
01:48:14,510 --> 01:48:12,600
long and it's great to see a study

2551
01:48:16,370 --> 01:48:14,520
that's uh looking at those internal

2552
01:48:19,370 --> 01:48:16,380
functions of the gut it'd be fascinating

2553
01:48:22,250 --> 01:48:19,380
to see what comes of that as we truck

2554
01:48:25,129 --> 01:48:22,260
along here I understand that we now have

2555
01:48:26,510 --> 01:48:25,139
science on board the actual crew 5

2556
01:48:28,609 --> 01:48:26,520
vehicle that's not something that's

2557
01:48:31,729 --> 01:48:28,619
always been capable of uh happening

2558
01:48:33,410 --> 01:48:31,739
right we do for ISS National Lab and all

2559
01:48:35,810 --> 01:48:33,420
of the sponsors the International Space

2560
01:48:38,149 --> 01:48:35,820
Station the availability of extra crew

2561
01:48:39,890 --> 01:48:38,159
members going up on Commercial crew has

2562
01:48:41,450 --> 01:48:39,900
been a significant Advantage we've

2563
01:48:43,070 --> 01:48:41,460
doubled the amount of time that's

2564
01:48:45,770 --> 01:48:43,080
available for crew to conduct science

2565
01:48:47,750 --> 01:48:45,780
but also we have the ability to utilize

2566
01:48:49,910 --> 01:48:47,760
the crew vehicles to get some science up

2567
01:48:52,609 --> 01:48:49,920
there that can fit within the confines

2568
01:48:54,830 --> 01:48:52,619
that's not occupied by the crew so while

2569
01:48:56,510 --> 01:48:54,840
most of our science and supplies still

2570
01:48:59,450 --> 01:48:56,520
go up on the commercial resupply

2571
01:49:01,070 --> 01:48:59,460
vehicles we're also able to utilize the

2572
01:49:02,990 --> 01:49:01,080
vehicles themselves that are taking the

2573
01:49:04,490 --> 01:49:03,000
crew up to get some expedited science up

2574
01:49:07,310 --> 01:49:04,500
and get it back and we're looking at

2575
01:49:08,750 --> 01:49:07,320
some video now of Lambda Vision if you

2576
01:49:11,109 --> 01:49:08,760
can tell me a little bit about that

2577
01:49:13,609 --> 01:49:11,119
another very important

2578
01:49:15,169 --> 01:49:13,619
development in space is the utilization

2579
01:49:17,750 --> 01:49:15,179
of space and access for commercial

2580
01:49:20,090 --> 01:49:17,760
companies so land division is a small

2581
01:49:23,090 --> 01:49:20,100
Sparta startup biotechnology company

2582
01:49:25,910 --> 01:49:23,100
that is pioneering the use of bacteria

2583
01:49:28,129 --> 01:49:25,920
rhodopsin a protein from bacteria that

2584
01:49:31,189 --> 01:49:28,139
can be used to manufacture artificial

2585
01:49:33,229 --> 01:49:31,199
retinas so lambdivision is utilizing the

2586
01:49:34,970 --> 01:49:33,239
absence of microgravity to improve their

2587
01:49:37,189 --> 01:49:34,980
ability to manufacture these artificial

2588
01:49:39,709 --> 01:49:37,199
retinas in space these artificial

2589
01:49:42,169 --> 01:49:39,719
retinas when they're approved for use by

2590
01:49:44,810 --> 01:49:42,179
the FDA will enable lamb division to

2591
01:49:47,330 --> 01:49:44,820
offer the availability to recover from

2592
01:49:49,310 --> 01:49:47,340
retinitis Pigmentosa and macular

2593
01:49:51,050 --> 01:49:49,320
degeneration here on Earth currently

2594
01:49:52,729 --> 01:49:51,060
there are no effective therapies for

2595
01:49:55,070 --> 01:49:52,739
that that recover full site or full

2596
01:49:56,090 --> 01:49:55,080
vision this technology offers that

2597
01:49:58,490 --> 01:49:56,100
advantage

2598
01:50:01,010 --> 01:49:58,500
offering a lot of Hope for people who

2599
01:50:02,270 --> 01:50:01,020
suffer from those diseases and so be

2600
01:50:04,729 --> 01:50:02,280
exciting to see what kind of results

2601
01:50:06,350 --> 01:50:04,739
come from that experiment it is and land

2602
01:50:09,590 --> 01:50:06,360
divisions had the opportunity through

2603
01:50:12,109 --> 01:50:09,600
ISS National Lab and and NASA to operate

2604
01:50:15,470 --> 01:50:12,119
four different experiments in space so

2605
01:50:17,270 --> 01:50:15,480
this new era of easy access to space for

2606
01:50:20,030 --> 01:50:17,280
supportive science that benefits here on

2607
01:50:22,490 --> 01:50:20,040
Earth is really turning into some new

2608
01:50:24,410 --> 01:50:22,500
great dividends for people on earth Mike

2609
01:50:25,729 --> 01:50:24,420
Roberts Chief scientist for the ISS

2610
01:50:27,350 --> 01:50:25,739
National Laboratory thanks for being

2611
01:50:29,629 --> 01:50:27,360
here and sharing your knowledge about

2612
01:50:32,149 --> 01:50:29,639
the science on board the ISS thanks

2613
01:50:34,430 --> 01:50:32,159
Daryl all right as we continue to watch

2614
01:50:37,550 --> 01:50:34,440
the operation and our team check through

2615
01:50:38,990 --> 01:50:37,560
the Milestones here we will toss it back

2616
01:50:40,490 --> 01:50:39,000
out to Houston

2617
01:50:43,189 --> 01:50:40,500
actually we're going to throw it to

2618
01:50:47,450 --> 01:50:43,199
California and Hawthorne where Sandra

2619
01:50:52,430 --> 01:50:49,970
thanks dear Daryl earlier we did talk

2620
01:50:54,770 --> 01:50:52,440
about the progress that both NASA and

2621
01:50:56,870 --> 01:50:54,780
SpaceX have made in human space flight

2622
01:50:59,930 --> 01:50:56,880
since we first started flying dragon

2623
01:51:02,030 --> 01:50:59,940
regularly over 10 years ago so to

2624
01:51:04,370 --> 01:51:02,040
support our increasing number of human

2625
01:51:07,669 --> 01:51:04,380
space flight missions your spacesuit

2626
01:51:09,830 --> 01:51:07,679
team has been busy at work Jesse yes we

2627
01:51:12,050 --> 01:51:09,840
have you might be surprised to know that

2628
01:51:15,050 --> 01:51:12,060
the completion of the crew 5 suits Mark

2629
01:51:17,570 --> 01:51:15,060
spacex's 50th completed Iva or

2630
01:51:19,250 --> 01:51:17,580
intrapahicular activity suit including

2631
01:51:22,189 --> 01:51:19,260
development training and qualification

2632
01:51:24,350 --> 01:51:22,199
suits 30 of those suits were created for

2633
01:51:26,450 --> 01:51:24,360
flight this number is inclusive of the

2634
01:51:29,270 --> 01:51:26,460
suits that the crew 5 astronauts are

2635
01:51:30,830 --> 01:51:29,280
wearing today 17 of the 50 were built

2636
01:51:32,810 --> 01:51:30,840
and used for development and training

2637
01:51:35,270 --> 01:51:32,820
one was used to get our suit qualified

2638
01:51:36,950 --> 01:51:35,280
for space and we produce suits to

2639
01:51:39,350 --> 01:51:36,960
support the passengers for a couple

2640
01:51:41,930 --> 01:51:39,360
demonstration missions as well you may

2641
01:51:44,629 --> 01:51:41,940
recall Starman and Ripley

2642
01:51:48,109 --> 01:51:44,639
Starman flew on our first Falcon heavy

2643
01:51:51,229 --> 01:51:48,119
fight flight in 2018 and is still flying

2644
01:51:53,570 --> 01:51:51,239
around out in space and Ripley was the

2645
01:51:55,910 --> 01:51:53,580
anthropomorphic test device that flew on

2646
01:51:58,790 --> 01:51:55,920
demo 1 to help us collect lots of data

2647
01:52:01,609 --> 01:51:58,800
before flying Bob and Doug

2648
01:52:03,410 --> 01:52:01,619
and as a reminder this spacesuit that

2649
01:52:05,750 --> 01:52:03,420
you've seen the crew wearing throughout

2650
01:52:08,390 --> 01:52:05,760
operations today is an intra vehicular

2651
01:52:11,149 --> 01:52:08,400
activity suit designed for use inside

2652
01:52:12,890 --> 01:52:11,159
Dragon its primary function is to

2653
01:52:15,410 --> 01:52:12,900
protect the crew and the event of a

2654
01:52:16,970 --> 01:52:15,420
cabin depressurization now when the

2655
01:52:19,669 --> 01:52:16,980
astronauts move onto the International

2656
01:52:22,370 --> 01:52:19,679
Space Station following docking the

2657
01:52:24,590 --> 01:52:22,380
spacesuits will stay on board Dragon the

2658
01:52:27,770 --> 01:52:24,600
astronauts will then use NASA's extra

2659
01:52:29,450 --> 01:52:27,780
vehicular activity or Eva suit when

2660
01:52:32,270 --> 01:52:29,460
outside of the International Space

2661
01:52:34,790 --> 01:52:32,280
Station performing space rocks the suit

2662
01:52:36,470 --> 01:52:34,800
teams work tirelessly to make sure all

2663
01:52:38,209 --> 01:52:36,480
of our astronauts have a positive

2664
01:52:40,310 --> 01:52:38,219
experience while wearing our spacesuits

2665
01:52:42,169 --> 01:52:40,320
and ensures the highest level of safety

2666
01:52:44,030 --> 01:52:42,179
now similar to how we innovate and

2667
01:52:46,310 --> 01:52:44,040
further develop our launch vehicles with

2668
01:52:48,050 --> 01:52:46,320
each tester Mission our spacesuits have

2669
01:52:49,970 --> 01:52:48,060
continued to evolve since NASA

2670
01:52:52,430 --> 01:52:49,980
astronauts Bob benkin and Doug Hurley

2671
01:52:54,229 --> 01:52:52,440
first Don them for demo 2. some

2672
01:52:56,870 --> 01:52:54,239
improvements include the patterning

2673
01:52:58,550 --> 01:52:56,880
process for better fit patterns are the

2674
01:53:01,010 --> 01:52:58,560
individual pieces of fabric that go

2675
01:53:02,629 --> 01:53:01,020
together to create the suit our process

2676
01:53:04,850 --> 01:53:02,639
involves taking measurements generating

2677
01:53:06,350 --> 01:53:04,860
patterns based on those measurements for

2678
01:53:08,090 --> 01:53:06,360
each layer of the suit and then

2679
01:53:10,189 --> 01:53:08,100
performing fit checks where we put

2680
01:53:12,109 --> 01:53:10,199
together non-flight quick versions of

2681
01:53:13,850 --> 01:53:12,119
the different layers of the suit to make

2682
01:53:15,890 --> 01:53:13,860
sure that they fit correctly before

2683
01:53:18,109 --> 01:53:15,900
making the flight suit

2684
01:53:19,669 --> 01:53:18,119
and we've also continued custom patterns

2685
01:53:21,890 --> 01:53:19,679
for each crew member and have made

2686
01:53:23,450 --> 01:53:21,900
significant reliability upgrades in the

2687
01:53:26,030 --> 01:53:23,460
spacesuits

2688
01:53:28,490 --> 01:53:26,040
and while the suit is a single piece

2689
01:53:31,910 --> 01:53:28,500
which means the helmet gloves and boots

2690
01:53:36,410 --> 01:53:31,920
all remain attached as one piece with us

2691
01:53:38,450 --> 01:53:36,420
today is a SpaceX helmet lent To Us by

2692
01:53:41,030 --> 01:53:38,460
the spacesuit team and you can see it

2693
01:53:43,850 --> 01:53:41,040
here on the table right now that's right

2694
01:53:46,370 --> 01:53:43,860
Sandra this helmet is made from 3D

2695
01:53:48,890 --> 01:53:46,380
printed nylon and has a virus visor that

2696
01:53:54,850 --> 01:53:48,900
pivots open and Dragon SpaceX for side

2697
01:54:01,669 --> 01:53:59,030
okay Josh uh we identified a potential

2698
01:54:03,649 --> 01:54:01,679
piece of thought on the side hatch seal

2699
01:54:05,870 --> 01:54:03,659
when we were inspecting everything so

2700
01:54:08,390 --> 01:54:05,880
the closeout team is proceeding to open

2701
01:54:10,669 --> 01:54:08,400
the hatch to address that before closing

2702
01:54:13,310 --> 01:54:10,679
and re-performing the leak check

2703
01:54:16,490 --> 01:54:13,320
for Big Picture awareness we still have

2704
01:54:18,350 --> 01:54:16,500
approximately uh 12 minutes remaining in

2705
01:54:20,629 --> 01:54:18,360
the margin for this timer to perform

2706
01:54:22,250 --> 01:54:20,639
this action so we'll be able to run

2707
01:54:26,030 --> 01:54:22,260
through everything with uh out issue

2708
01:54:30,229 --> 01:54:28,550
okay Dragon copies will be opened up to

2709
01:54:32,149 --> 01:54:30,239
the side hatch and take a look at the

2710
01:54:34,970 --> 01:54:32,159
quad and we've got 12 minutes of Mark

2711
01:54:34,980 --> 01:54:38,570
good feedback

2712
01:54:43,550 --> 01:54:41,270
so we just got an update we were closing

2713
01:54:45,910 --> 01:54:43,560
the hatch it sounds like they do need to

2714
01:54:48,530 --> 01:54:45,920
do another inspection reopen the hatch

2715
01:54:50,870 --> 01:54:48,540
reinspect uh the hatch lining make sure

2716
01:54:53,930 --> 01:54:50,880
that there's no fod caught in there and

2717
01:54:56,330 --> 01:54:53,940
then perform the procedure to reclose

2718
01:54:57,830 --> 01:54:56,340
the hatch one more time and it sounds

2719
01:54:59,990 --> 01:54:57,840
like we do have some margin

2720
01:55:02,450 --> 01:55:00,000
um 12 minutes of margin so we are still

2721
01:55:05,270 --> 01:55:02,460
on track for liftoff today

2722
01:55:08,030 --> 01:55:05,280
uh but as we were mentioning the helmet

2723
01:55:09,890 --> 01:55:08,040
is made from 3D printed nylon and has a

2724
01:55:11,689 --> 01:55:09,900
visor that pivots open it's also

2725
01:55:13,609 --> 01:55:11,699
equipped with a microphone which is

2726
01:55:15,169 --> 01:55:13,619
embedded into the helmet which allows

2727
01:55:17,270 --> 01:55:15,179
the crew to communicate with the mission

2728
01:55:19,189 --> 01:55:17,280
operators while suited and seated in

2729
01:55:20,870 --> 01:55:19,199
Dragon that's right and those

2730
01:55:23,209 --> 01:55:20,880
communication systems that you were

2731
01:55:25,609 --> 01:55:23,219
talking about you can see inside there

2732
01:55:26,990 --> 01:55:25,619
not inside this helmet because it's not

2733
01:55:29,510 --> 01:55:27,000
going to be used throughout the mission

2734
01:55:32,149 --> 01:55:29,520
but the crew does have the ability to

2735
01:55:35,209 --> 01:55:32,159
hear via the helmet and you can see the

2736
01:55:36,350 --> 01:55:35,219
slots right there for for that

2737
01:55:38,689 --> 01:55:36,360
capability

2738
01:55:40,609 --> 01:55:38,699
yeah

2739
01:55:42,770 --> 01:55:40,619
um and so now we're gonna check in with

2740
01:55:45,530 --> 01:55:42,780
Kate while the team is working on the

2741
01:55:47,689 --> 01:55:45,540
hatch so Kate how's it going over there

2742
01:55:49,970 --> 01:55:47,699
thanks Jesse yeah it's super cool to see

2743
01:55:52,310 --> 01:55:49,980
that helmet up close uh now turning our

2744
01:55:54,470 --> 01:55:52,320
attention back to the progress with the

2745
01:55:58,070 --> 01:55:54,480
integrated launch teams uh we are coming

2746
01:56:00,050 --> 01:55:58,080
up on T minus one hour and 32 minutes as

2747
01:56:03,050 --> 01:56:00,060
we just heard a couple of moments ago

2748
01:56:06,229 --> 01:56:03,060
the closeout team identified a little

2749
01:56:08,810 --> 01:56:06,239
bit of fod in that hatch seal so

2750
01:56:10,790 --> 01:56:08,820
basically the process is we close the

2751
01:56:14,030 --> 01:56:10,800
side hatch we inflate the seal around

2752
01:56:15,830 --> 01:56:14,040
the hatch to a certain pressure and then

2753
01:56:18,709 --> 01:56:15,840
we hold that pressure to see if there's

2754
01:56:20,090 --> 01:56:18,719
any Decay or leak and if there is that's

2755
01:56:21,709 --> 01:56:20,100
an indication that something is in the

2756
01:56:23,750 --> 01:56:21,719
seal and that's what occurred today so

2757
01:56:25,729 --> 01:56:23,760
the team is in the process of reopening

2758
01:56:27,649 --> 01:56:25,739
the hatch they'll clean the seal Out

2759
01:56:31,129 --> 01:56:27,659
close it and inflate the seal and

2760
01:56:32,810 --> 01:56:31,139
re-perform that leak check so normal as

2761
01:56:34,970 --> 01:56:32,820
we heard mentioned we do have 12 minutes

2762
01:56:37,129 --> 01:56:34,980
of margin in the launch countdown as

2763
01:56:39,290 --> 01:56:37,139
I've mentioned before the countdown is

2764
01:56:41,990 --> 01:56:39,300
to make sure that everybody is all the

2765
01:56:43,669 --> 01:56:42,000
integrated launch teams are aligned and

2766
01:56:45,290 --> 01:56:43,679
we do build margin in in order to make

2767
01:56:47,629 --> 01:56:45,300
sure that we can deal with things like

2768
01:56:51,109 --> 01:56:47,639
this as they come up similar to whenever

2769
01:56:53,209 --> 01:56:51,119
uh pilot Josh cassida had a little bit

2770
01:56:56,570 --> 01:56:53,219
of Decay or excuse me not Decay a lower

2771
01:56:58,790 --> 01:56:56,580
pressure value red on his suit so we

2772
01:57:02,030 --> 01:56:58,800
rechecked the uh the suit pressure there

2773
01:57:04,430 --> 01:57:02,040
as well so working through those uh no

2774
01:57:06,770 --> 01:57:04,440
issues we're still tracking for an on uh

2775
01:57:09,169 --> 01:57:06,780
for launch today and as you can see the

2776
01:57:10,850 --> 01:57:09,179
crew seated there comfortably in the

2777
01:57:14,270 --> 01:57:10,860
capsule it looks like Anna might be

2778
01:57:15,709 --> 01:57:14,280
taking a little uh pre-launch nap uh I

2779
01:57:17,750 --> 01:57:15,719
don't know if I personally would be able

2780
01:57:20,709 --> 01:57:17,760
to pull that off so I really admire the

2781
01:57:24,169 --> 01:57:20,719
calmness that she's demonstrating today

2782
01:57:27,350 --> 01:57:24,179
so once that hatch is closed back up and

2783
01:57:29,089 --> 01:57:27,360
we successfully uh leak check on that uh

2784
01:57:31,729 --> 01:57:29,099
we should be good to go uh we see some

2785
01:57:34,310 --> 01:57:31,739
movement there she's not napping as for

2786
01:57:36,589 --> 01:57:34,320
the launch Engineers they are located in

2787
01:57:38,510 --> 01:57:36,599
firing room four in the NASA launch

2788
01:57:40,729 --> 01:57:38,520
control center at Kennedy Space Center

2789
01:57:43,310 --> 01:57:40,739
they have a view through their large

2790
01:57:45,410 --> 01:57:43,320
Windows of pad 39a which is located just

2791
01:57:48,290 --> 01:57:45,420
five kilometers east of them uh

2792
01:57:50,450 --> 01:57:48,300
currently the Falcon 9 team is loading

2793
01:57:52,669 --> 01:57:50,460
helium and nitrogen gas into storage

2794
01:57:55,430 --> 01:57:52,679
bottles on the launch vehicle you see on

2795
01:57:57,649 --> 01:57:55,440
your screen firing room for there now RF

2796
01:57:59,709 --> 01:57:57,659
checkouts are now also complete and the

2797
01:58:02,870 --> 01:57:59,719
final review of vehicle testing

2798
01:58:05,870 --> 01:58:02,880
performed earlier today is underway so

2799
01:58:08,689 --> 01:58:05,880
the SpaceX chief engineer who for this

2800
01:58:11,030 --> 01:58:08,699
mission is Dan Alex he will check in

2801
01:58:13,609 --> 01:58:11,040
with the team at T minus 80 minutes to

2802
01:58:15,709 --> 01:58:13,619
verify that we are good to continue with

2803
01:58:18,770 --> 01:58:15,719
the countdown now the next major

2804
01:58:21,470 --> 01:58:18,780
activity we will flow a small amount of

2805
01:58:24,589 --> 01:58:21,480
fuel into the first stage to prime those

2806
01:58:26,450 --> 01:58:24,599
Merlin 1D engines for ignition the team

2807
01:58:28,669 --> 01:58:26,460
is also monitoring Fuel and liquid

2808
01:58:30,169 --> 01:58:28,679
oxygen loading preparations ensuring

2809
01:58:33,050 --> 01:58:30,179
that the propellants in the ground takes

2810
01:58:35,149 --> 01:58:33,060
are correctly chilled to fire loading

2811
01:58:38,030 --> 01:58:35,159
prior to loading them onto Falcon 9.

2812
01:58:41,390 --> 01:58:38,040
propellant mode will begin at T minus 35

2813
01:58:43,070 --> 01:58:41,400
minutes now at just under T minus one

2814
01:58:45,290 --> 01:58:43,080
hour and 30 minutes ourselves the

2815
01:58:47,930 --> 01:58:45,300
weather continues to be green as you can

2816
01:58:50,750 --> 01:58:47,940
see see beautiful clear day at Pad 39a

2817
01:58:53,330 --> 01:58:50,760
but we are of course monitoring whether

2818
01:58:56,149 --> 01:58:53,340
at downrange as well and that continues

2819
01:58:58,970 --> 01:58:56,159
to look good and the range remains green

2820
01:59:00,890 --> 01:58:58,980
and ready to support so all that being

2821
01:59:03,290 --> 01:59:00,900
said we are on track to launch in under

2822
01:59:05,030 --> 01:59:03,300
an hour and a half from now uh and we

2823
01:59:07,070 --> 01:59:05,040
are certainly getting excited here in

2824
01:59:09,470 --> 01:59:07,080
Hawthorne uh with that let's turn it

2825
01:59:10,729 --> 01:59:09,480
back over to Daryl and Bob at Kennedy

2826
01:59:12,229 --> 01:59:10,739
Space Center how's it going over there

2827
01:59:14,270 --> 01:59:12,239
guys all right thank you very much Kate

2828
01:59:16,450 --> 01:59:14,280
and we continue to monitor the work that

2829
01:59:20,450 --> 01:59:16,460
the closeout team is doing right there

2830
01:59:22,370 --> 01:59:20,460
checking rechecking the seal

2831
01:59:25,250 --> 01:59:22,380
to dragon

2832
01:59:27,290 --> 01:59:25,260
between the hatch and the spacecraft and

2833
01:59:29,030 --> 01:59:27,300
there you see the text making that

2834
01:59:32,330 --> 01:59:29,040
inspection now taking a light around it

2835
01:59:36,950 --> 01:59:32,340
they had the hatch closed but reopened

2836
01:59:38,270 --> 01:59:36,960
it after doing the side hatch leak check

2837
01:59:40,310 --> 01:59:38,280
and Bob it was interesting we were

2838
01:59:43,010 --> 01:59:40,320
talking about this just briefly before

2839
01:59:45,050 --> 01:59:43,020
uh Kate threw to us and there's a way

2840
01:59:47,510 --> 01:59:45,060
they can check that seal to see if

2841
01:59:50,209 --> 01:59:47,520
there's any fod in it I thought it was

2842
01:59:52,609 --> 01:59:50,219
interesting how they do that well yes uh

2843
01:59:54,709 --> 01:59:52,619
Daryl Kate gave a great explanation of

2844
01:59:56,330 --> 01:59:54,719
that process just a couple minutes ago

2845
01:59:58,250 --> 01:59:56,340
but what they do is they they need to

2846
01:59:59,990 --> 01:59:58,260
find a way of course before you get into

2847
02:00:02,570 --> 02:00:00,000
space to make sure that the Integrity of

2848
02:00:04,910 --> 02:00:02,580
that seal is good and so what they do is

2849
02:00:07,310 --> 02:00:04,920
they're able to inflate a small portion

2850
02:00:09,530 --> 02:00:07,320
a small volume to ensure that they do

2851
02:00:12,050 --> 02:00:09,540
have a good pressurization on the sides

2852
02:00:14,089 --> 02:00:12,060
of that seal and if they do have a leak

2853
02:00:15,890 --> 02:00:14,099
or or some indication that things aren't

2854
02:00:17,930 --> 02:00:15,900
exactly right you know the most likely

2855
02:00:20,030 --> 02:00:17,940
culprit is some sort of foreign object

2856
02:00:22,010 --> 02:00:20,040
that's kind of captured in that ceiling

2857
02:00:25,310 --> 02:00:22,020
surface and so the team goes back in

2858
02:00:26,870 --> 02:00:25,320
cleans that area out and then we'll kind

2859
02:00:28,970 --> 02:00:26,880
of re-accomplish that leak check to make

2860
02:00:30,410 --> 02:00:28,980
sure that it's good before the crew gets

2861
02:00:31,729 --> 02:00:30,420
into the vacuum of space with the

2862
02:00:33,709 --> 02:00:31,739
spacecraft

2863
02:00:35,930 --> 02:00:33,719
and you can see they've wrapped up that

2864
02:00:38,030 --> 02:00:35,940
process of inspecting cleaning and

2865
02:00:40,189 --> 02:00:38,040
documenting the seal and now they've

2866
02:00:43,669 --> 02:00:40,199
reclosed the side hatch to crew dragon

2867
02:00:48,109 --> 02:00:43,679
with our crew 5 astronauts inside and

2868
02:00:53,570 --> 02:00:50,930
we'll keep monitoring the action

2869
02:00:55,970 --> 02:00:53,580
and let you know what's going on a quick

2870
02:00:58,850 --> 02:00:55,980
update the closeout team was able to

2871
02:01:01,010 --> 02:00:58,860
open the side hatch and remove the uh

2872
02:01:02,629 --> 02:01:01,020
hair that they identified as fod they've

2873
02:01:05,030 --> 02:01:02,639
closed behind the side hash and they're

2874
02:01:07,430 --> 02:01:05,040
stepping into their leak checks right

2875
02:01:11,270 --> 02:01:07,440
now we are right on schedule for launch

2876
02:01:15,169 --> 02:01:13,250
construction copies that's great news

2877
02:01:17,089 --> 02:01:15,179
and we're standing by for that week

2878
02:01:18,530 --> 02:01:17,099
thank you

2879
02:01:20,270 --> 02:01:18,540
okay well there you heard confirmation

2880
02:01:21,770 --> 02:01:20,280
that they found what it was and real

2881
02:01:23,830 --> 02:01:21,780
quick bomb before we throw it to in the

2882
02:01:26,030 --> 02:01:23,840
interview a hair was identified

2883
02:01:28,850 --> 02:01:26,040
fascinating to me that something as

2884
02:01:31,070 --> 02:01:28,860
small as hair can actually compromise a

2885
02:01:33,050 --> 02:01:31,080
seal yes it's a it's really important

2886
02:01:34,550 --> 02:01:33,060
that that area is super pristine and

2887
02:01:35,930 --> 02:01:34,560
like we talked about a little bit

2888
02:01:37,970 --> 02:01:35,940
earlier you know that hatch is going to

2889
02:01:39,890 --> 02:01:37,980
be closed for six months as they make

2890
02:01:41,390 --> 02:01:39,900
their way into orbit and then won't get

2891
02:01:43,010 --> 02:01:41,400
open until they come back and are on

2892
02:01:44,870 --> 02:01:43,020
aboard the ground is going to be

2893
02:01:47,330 --> 02:01:44,880
commencing a health check for a launch

2894
02:01:48,830 --> 02:01:47,340
Escape system a second time expect a

2895
02:01:50,870 --> 02:01:48,840
momentary flight computer State change

2896
02:02:00,709 --> 02:01:50,880
followed by that transition back to pad

2897
02:02:00,719 --> 02:02:07,310
good read back

2898
02:02:10,970 --> 02:02:09,229
we will keep monitoring the action here

2899
02:02:13,729 --> 02:02:10,980
outside the dragon spacecraft you heard

2900
02:02:15,410 --> 02:02:13,739
the launch Escape system checks are

2901
02:02:18,229 --> 02:02:15,420
coming up momentarily as they continue

2902
02:02:20,689 --> 02:02:18,239

the commercial launch number two

2915
02:02:53,750 --> 02:02:51,020
always just love to see how large

2916
02:02:56,450 --> 02:02:53,760

yeah yeah I mean does being here does it

2918
02:02:59,629 --> 02:02:58,260
make you kind of reminisce on on those

2919
02:03:01,910 --> 02:02:59,639
four missions you've had you know you're

2920
02:03:03,950 --> 02:03:01,920
a part of the Gemini and Apollo programs

2921
02:03:05,750 --> 02:03:03,960
and we actually have some some pictures

2922
02:03:07,010 --> 02:03:05,760
of you from those missions that we'd

2923
02:03:08,649 --> 02:03:07,020
love to share with everyone can you talk

2924
02:03:12,530 --> 02:03:08,659
us through with this oh yeah

2925
02:03:16,089 --> 02:03:12,540
here we are right after we've landed on

2926
02:03:20,030 --> 02:03:16,099
Gemini nine that was in June 6

2927
02:03:21,709 --> 02:03:20,040
1966. there's Gene cernan my pilot he's

2928
02:03:24,589 --> 02:03:21,719
the first one to walk in space

2929
02:03:27,050 --> 02:03:24,599
completely around the world we did three

2930
02:03:29,750 --> 02:03:27,060
different Rendezvous right now and we

2931
02:03:32,750 --> 02:03:29,760
also touched down closer than any

2932
02:03:34,250 --> 02:03:32,760
Germany or Apollo wow and then we have

2933
02:03:36,229 --> 02:03:34,260
another pitcher actually this one's from

2934
02:03:39,229 --> 02:03:36,239
Apollo 10 right that's you the second

2935
02:03:42,530 --> 02:03:39,239
astronaut farthest from the transport

2936
02:03:48,169 --> 02:03:44,750
yeah that was a great Mission it was the

2937
02:03:50,330 --> 02:03:48,179
first lunar module to the moon and I did

2938
02:03:52,010 --> 02:03:50,340
the first we were too heavy to land or

2939
02:03:55,310 --> 02:03:52,020
we might have had a chance to be the

2940
02:03:56,930 --> 02:03:55,320
first ones to land on the moon but we're

2941
02:03:59,450 --> 02:03:56,940
two different land but we're down to

2942
02:04:03,229 --> 02:03:59,460
nine miles above the lunar surface photo

2943
02:04:05,750 --> 02:04:03,239
map radar map and Visually map picked

2944
02:04:08,689 --> 02:04:05,760
out on our lips and had three potential

2945
02:04:12,109 --> 02:04:08,699
Landing sites he did that twice and came

2946
02:04:14,149 --> 02:04:12,119
up and did the first Rendezvous yeah and

2947
02:04:17,390 --> 02:04:14,159
then on the way back set the all-time

2948
02:04:18,950 --> 02:04:17,400
world speed record this picture is a

2949
02:04:23,390 --> 02:04:18,960
little blurry but it's on

2950
02:04:28,370 --> 02:04:25,310
in here right we're on our way to the

2951
02:04:31,490 --> 02:04:28,380
move we're walking to walking slow to

2952
02:04:32,530 --> 02:04:31,500
the transfer event but then on the way

2953
02:04:34,570 --> 02:04:32,540
back

2954
02:04:38,330 --> 02:04:34,580
about 24

2955
02:04:41,330 --> 02:04:38,340
791 miles an hour or third block 36

2956
02:04:44,870 --> 02:04:41,340
miles per second Mega seven miles a

2957
02:04:47,149 --> 02:04:44,880
second wow wow that record still stands

2958
02:04:49,490 --> 02:04:47,159

by launch control

2981
02:05:39,169 --> 02:05:34,800
Dragon launch control on countdown one

2982
02:05:45,410 --> 02:05:43,310

listening in

2986
02:05:59,870 --> 02:05:57,780
CE Dragon loud and clear

2987
02:06:02,930 --> 02:05:59,880
see you unclear also this completes the

2988
02:06:10,790 --> 02:06:02,940
Falcon 9 responsible engineer contracts

2989
02:06:14,570 --> 02:06:12,169
establishing

2990
02:06:15,649 --> 02:06:14,580
a number of communication paths to the

2991
02:06:20,270 --> 02:06:15,659
crew

2992
02:06:24,649 --> 02:06:21,950
want to just uh update you really quick

2993
02:06:26,930 --> 02:06:24,659

again a good

2995
02:06:31,430 --> 02:06:30,179
side hatch leak check after some fod was

2996
02:06:34,010 --> 02:06:31,440
found

2997
02:06:35,330 --> 02:06:34,020
that compromised it following the first

2998
02:06:37,850 --> 02:06:35,340
closure

2999
02:06:40,010 --> 02:06:37,860
teams went back in opened the hatch

3000
02:06:43,430 --> 02:06:40,020
cleaned off the seal

3001
02:06:45,890 --> 02:06:43,440

3002
02:06:48,350 --> 02:06:45,900
and we are good to go

3003
02:06:50,450 --> 02:06:48,360
again good side leak side hatch League

3004
02:06:53,750 --> 02:06:50,460
check and we're moving forward now with

3005
02:06:58,609 --> 02:06:56,990
the SpaceX team working quickly had 12

3006
02:07:01,490 --> 02:06:58,619
minutes of margin

3007
02:07:04,370 --> 02:07:01,500
and Whittle that down to

3008
02:07:07,250 --> 02:07:04,380
about three or four minutes

3009
02:07:09,169 --> 02:07:07,260
and so great job by them

3010
02:07:13,010 --> 02:07:09,179
tackling that issue that can pop up is

3011
02:07:18,109 --> 02:07:13,020
your preparing to launch a spacecraft

3012
02:07:22,070 --> 02:07:20,089
there's the Falcon 9 rocket on the pad

3013
02:07:24,649 --> 02:07:22,080
with the dragon spacecraft to top we've

3014
02:07:28,609 --> 02:07:24,659
got a beautiful day

3015
02:07:32,570 --> 02:07:30,410
take a little moment to

3016
02:07:34,609 --> 02:07:32,580
listen to a special message now from

3017
02:07:37,310 --> 02:07:34,619
somebody who's familiar to both of us

3018
02:07:40,129 --> 02:07:37,320
more him than me our previous co-host

3019
02:07:42,050 --> 02:07:40,139
from the last crew mission crew 4 and

3020
02:07:43,669 --> 02:07:42,060
the launch broadcast a very special

3021
02:07:45,709 --> 02:07:43,679
person to all of us here let's take a

3022
02:07:47,270 --> 02:07:45,719
listen

3023
02:07:49,070 --> 02:07:47,280
hello husband it looks like you're doing

3024
02:07:51,229 --> 02:07:49,080
a great job with the launch commentary

3025
02:07:52,729 --> 02:07:51,239
keep up the great work seems like all

3026
02:07:54,830 --> 02:07:52,739
those tips that I gave you are paying

3027
02:07:56,689 --> 02:07:54,840
off a couple of things I forgot to

3028
02:07:58,250 --> 02:07:56,699
mention though you should probably share

3029
02:07:59,870 --> 02:07:58,260
some of your snacks with Daryl because

3030
02:08:01,850 --> 02:07:59,880
he does get a little hangry if he

3031
02:08:03,229 --> 02:08:01,860
doesn't get enough to eat and also it's

3032
02:08:05,030 --> 02:08:03,239
important as the co-host to make sure

3033
02:08:07,010 --> 02:08:05,040
you laugh and smile at all of his jokes

3034
02:08:08,030 --> 02:08:07,020
makes him feel really good

3035
02:08:09,350 --> 02:08:08,040
um actually there's a couple other

3036
02:08:10,790 --> 02:08:09,360
people in the family that want to say

3037
02:08:15,310 --> 02:08:10,800
hello to you as well just give me just

3038
02:08:22,310 --> 02:08:19,370
do a good job daddy or else I will find

3039
02:08:25,550 --> 02:08:22,320
new ways to motivate you

3040
02:08:28,129 --> 02:08:25,560
in all seriousness though Nicole and

3041
02:08:29,510 --> 02:08:28,139

02:08:37,129 --> 02:08:35,280
International Space Station I cannot

02:08:53,990 --> 02:08:51,960
of myself I've got my food here but uh

3055
02:08:55,729 --> 02:08:54,000

our family after we uh returned from the

3060
02:09:11,149 --> 02:09:06,080
demo 2 mission you know my son requested

3061
02:09:11,159 --> 02:09:15,709
my son requested a approval

3062
02:09:19,250 --> 02:09:17,689
to have a dog when uh the mission was

3063
02:09:20,990 --> 02:09:19,260
accomplished and so that was pretty cool

3064
02:09:22,490 --> 02:09:21,000
to have the dog included and of course

3065
02:09:24,290 --> 02:09:22,500
that Darth Vader making a guest

3066
02:09:26,270 --> 02:09:24,300
appearance and not something that I

3067
02:09:28,609 --> 02:09:26,280
expected but that costume has a little

3068
02:09:30,470 --> 02:09:28,619
bit of History we surprised Megan during

3069
02:09:32,870 --> 02:09:30,480
the mission on board the her time on

3070
02:09:34,490 --> 02:09:32,880
space station with that costume and uh

3071
02:09:36,229 --> 02:09:34,500
surprisingly she found one on board

3072
02:09:39,050 --> 02:09:36,239
space station to surprise us right back

3073
02:09:41,450 --> 02:09:39,060
oh about that

3074
02:09:43,189 --> 02:09:41,460
and uh

3075
02:09:45,649 --> 02:09:43,199
he's using the dark side of the force at

3076
02:09:47,810 --> 02:09:45,659
the moment motivated an answer out of

3077
02:09:50,209 --> 02:09:47,820
you he may have heard that line uh from

side hatch and that was removed the

3087
02:10:14,689 --> 02:10:13,020
SpaceX team working quickly to get that

3088
02:10:18,169 --> 02:10:14,699
removed and cleared they resealed the

3089
02:10:20,450 --> 02:10:18,179
hatch and repressurized it and we have a

3090
02:10:23,930 --> 02:10:20,460
confirmation just heard minutes ago of a

3091
02:10:26,330 --> 02:10:23,940
good side Glee catch check and so uh the

3092
02:10:28,850 --> 02:10:26,340
team is preferreding

3093
02:10:31,250 --> 02:10:28,860
a team is moving forward

3094
02:10:33,109 --> 02:10:31,260
with a beautiful shot of there of dragon

3095
02:10:34,850 --> 02:10:33,119
as we look out over the Atlantic we've

3096
02:10:37,010 --> 02:10:34,860
got some social media questions and we

3097
02:10:38,089 --> 02:10:37,020
asked you to submit them we've had a

3098
02:10:39,410 --> 02:10:38,099
little action that we've been dealing

3099
02:10:40,850 --> 02:10:39,420
with this morning so I haven't been able

3100
02:10:42,470 --> 02:10:40,860
to do a whole lot of questions but we're

3101
02:10:45,709 --> 02:10:42,480
going to start getting to them now and

3102
02:10:48,470 --> 02:10:45,719
at Khan asks what kind of personal items

3103
02:10:50,270 --> 02:10:48,480
can the crew take with them to the

3104
02:10:52,129 --> 02:10:50,280
International Space Station

3105
02:10:53,930 --> 02:10:52,139
it's a great question and one that we

3106
02:10:55,750 --> 02:10:53,940
get asked often uh what kind of personal

3107
02:10:58,430 --> 02:10:55,760
items can the crew take with them

3108
02:11:00,229 --> 02:10:58,440
usually it's something small is probably

3109
02:11:02,870 --> 02:11:00,239
the best answer to that question but

3110
02:11:05,930 --> 02:11:02,880
they're items that are personal mementos

3111
02:11:07,970 --> 02:11:05,940
of family members or otherwise you saw

3112
02:11:10,970 --> 02:11:07,980
my son earlier in the Darth Vader

3113
02:11:13,189 --> 02:11:10,980
costume as you can tell Star Wars has a

3114
02:11:15,290 --> 02:11:13,199
special place in our family and so we

3115
02:11:16,970 --> 02:11:15,300
were able to glue together a small Lego

3116
02:11:19,550 --> 02:11:16,980
ship and have my wife take that into

3117
02:11:20,990 --> 02:11:19,560
space I took one during during my

3118
02:11:22,490 --> 02:11:21,000
mission as well so that we would have

3119
02:11:24,109 --> 02:11:22,500
something that he could connect with

3120
02:11:25,850 --> 02:11:24,119
that was part of our family something to

3121
02:11:28,669 --> 02:11:25,860
talk about you know during our our

3122
02:11:30,470 --> 02:11:28,679
family conferences there are many small

3123
02:11:32,149 --> 02:11:30,480
items with individuals that you want to

3124
02:11:33,830 --> 02:11:32,159
make a personal connections with at the

3125
02:11:35,390 --> 02:11:33,840
typically the the crew will take with

3126
02:11:37,250 --> 02:11:35,400
them they also make take something

3127
02:11:39,530 --> 02:11:37,260
that's special to them that allows them

3128
02:11:40,850 --> 02:11:39,540
to either remember Earth or take

3129
02:11:43,669 --> 02:11:40,860
advantage of a hobby that they have

3130
02:11:45,950 --> 02:11:43,679
whether it's a guitar or other musical

3131
02:11:47,510 --> 02:11:45,960
instrument uh small items like that it

3132
02:11:50,209 --> 02:11:47,520
must be nice to have that connection

3133
02:11:52,790 --> 02:11:50,219
back to Earth and your family

3134
02:11:54,050 --> 02:11:52,800
because of uh you know you're up in

3135
02:11:55,669 --> 02:11:54,060
there in space and especially now with

3136
02:11:58,310 --> 02:11:55,679
these long duration space missions

3137
02:12:00,950 --> 02:11:58,320
lasting six months and it's interesting

3138
02:12:03,169 --> 02:12:00,960
you mentioned the small effects

3139
02:12:05,209 --> 02:12:03,179
Commander Nicole Mann

3140
02:12:07,430 --> 02:12:05,219
um taking her wedding rings but also

3141
02:12:08,209 --> 02:12:07,440
some surprise special gifts for her

3142
02:12:11,089 --> 02:12:08,219
family

3143
02:12:13,310 --> 02:12:11,099
and a dream catcher that her mother made

3144
02:12:15,589 --> 02:12:13,320
for her when she was a child that's a

3145
02:12:18,589 --> 02:12:15,599
board her personal effects which you get

3146
02:12:22,070 --> 02:12:18,599
about 3.3 pounds of personal effects as

3147
02:12:24,350 --> 02:12:22,080
you mentioned so a nice cultural Memento

3148
02:12:26,030 --> 02:12:24,360
part of her Heritage as a Native

3149
02:12:30,890 --> 02:12:26,040
American the first Native American woman

3150
02:12:34,790 --> 02:12:32,750
let's check uh back now with California

3151
02:12:39,109 --> 02:12:34,800
and toss it out to Hawthorne with Sandra

3152
02:12:46,010 --> 02:12:43,250
thanks Daryl we are just one hour and a

3153
02:12:47,750 --> 02:12:46,020
little over 15 minutes from launch and

3154
02:12:50,390 --> 02:12:47,760
it is getting more and more exciting as

3155
02:12:52,250 --> 02:12:50,400
we get to that t0 the crew has already

3156
02:12:54,290 --> 02:12:52,260
ingressed the dragon vehicle they were

3157
02:12:56,390 --> 02:12:54,300
helped out by our closeout team

3158
02:12:58,490 --> 02:12:56,400
umbilicals were attached uh to their

3159
02:13:00,950 --> 02:12:58,500
suits which provides breathing air and

3160
02:13:02,810 --> 02:13:00,960
calms to Dragon suit leak treks were

3161
02:13:04,729 --> 02:13:02,820
completed as well as comms checks

3162
02:13:12,410 --> 02:13:04,739
completed with the core and the launch

3163
02:13:12,420 --> 02:13:19,209
foreign

3164
02:13:24,470 --> 02:13:22,069
checks the closeout team was able to

3165
02:13:26,330 --> 02:13:24,480
close and seal the hatch we just got

3166
02:13:29,689 --> 02:13:26,340
confirmation that we did have a good

3167
02:13:32,089 --> 02:13:29,699
leak check during the first round of

3168
02:13:34,069 --> 02:13:32,099
closing the hatch they did find a piece

3169
02:13:35,689 --> 02:13:34,079
of fod it was a piece of hair we were

3170
02:13:38,569 --> 02:13:35,699
able to open it back up remove the fod

3171
02:13:41,520 --> 02:13:38,579
and close the hatch and then completed

3172
02:13:42,229 --> 02:13:41,530

[Music]

3177
02:13:52,250 --> 02:13:48,380
the closeout team is just wrapping up

3178
02:13:56,450 --> 02:13:52,260
and once they wrap up uh in that white

3179
02:13:58,609 --> 02:13:56,460
room they will depart the white room and

3180
02:14:00,830 --> 02:13:58,619
those final weather checks will be

3181
02:14:04,729 --> 02:14:00,840
coming up soon which will be necessary

3182
02:14:06,530 --> 02:14:04,739
before a final go no go

3183
02:14:09,530 --> 02:14:06,540
and there you can see the closeout team

3184
02:14:13,490 --> 02:14:09,540
there on your screen again just wrapping

3185
02:14:18,890 --> 02:14:13,500
up the final procedures for hatch

3186
02:14:23,810 --> 02:14:21,950
so let's check back in with Houston for

3187
02:14:25,550 --> 02:14:23,820
a status on the team supporting the

3188
02:14:30,470 --> 02:14:25,560
space station on their Readiness for

3189
02:14:34,129 --> 02:14:32,209
thanks Jesse the team here in Mission

3190
02:14:35,750 --> 02:14:34,139
Control Houston has polled that they are

3191
02:14:38,330 --> 02:14:35,760
go for the launch the International

3192
02:14:40,370 --> 02:14:38,340
Space Station and its on-board crew are

3193
02:14:42,709 --> 02:14:40,380
ready for crew 5 astronauts to lift off

3194
02:14:44,089 --> 02:14:42,719
when Flight director Greg Whitney pulled

3195
02:14:45,830 --> 02:14:44,099
his team he was asking the flight

3196
02:14:47,569 --> 02:14:45,840
controllers who work on all the

3197
02:14:49,609 --> 02:14:47,579
different systems on board the space

3198
02:14:52,189 --> 02:14:49,619
station if their focus areas were online

3199
02:14:53,930 --> 02:14:52,199
and working properly this includes life

3200
02:14:56,209 --> 02:14:53,940
support systems proper communication

3201
02:14:58,129 --> 02:14:56,219
links computers that allow us to command

3202
02:15:00,830 --> 02:14:58,139
the station on board and their

3203
02:15:02,629 --> 02:15:00,840
subsystems and our ability to maneuver

3204
02:15:05,330 --> 02:15:02,639
the space station are fully functional

3205
02:15:07,129 --> 02:15:05,340
the crew in orbit is awake and just

3206
02:15:09,109 --> 02:15:07,139
finished their midday meals they will

3207
02:15:10,850 --> 02:15:09,119
start crew arrival preparation shortly

3208
02:15:12,890 --> 02:15:10,860
making sure they are ready to receive

3209
02:15:14,810 --> 02:15:12,900
the new crew tomorrow Mission Control

3210
02:15:16,669 --> 02:15:14,820
Houston will continue monitoring the

3211
02:15:19,069 --> 02:15:16,679
mission as we check off milestones for

3212
02:15:20,569 --> 02:15:19,079
today's flight in the meantime I'll send

3213
02:15:22,490 --> 02:15:20,579
it back over to Hawthorne the

3214
02:15:27,129 --> 02:15:22,500
International Space Station flight

3215
02:15:33,109 --> 02:15:29,990
thank thanks Shaniqua that's great news

3216
02:15:34,850 --> 02:15:33,119
and while crew 5 is launching today just

3217
02:15:36,890 --> 02:15:34,860
a few months ago we were launching

3218
02:15:39,890 --> 02:15:36,900
another crew to the International Space

3219
02:15:41,870 --> 02:15:39,900
Station that is of course crew 4 who

3220
02:15:43,850 --> 02:15:41,880
launched in April the crew for

3221
02:15:45,950 --> 02:15:43,860
astronauts currently on board the

3222
02:15:48,470 --> 02:15:45,960

3223
02:15:51,109 --> 02:15:48,480
nearly six months conducting scientific

3224
02:15:53,689 --> 02:15:51,119
research in areas such as Material

3225
02:15:56,089 --> 02:15:53,699
Science Health Technologies and plant

3226
02:15:58,790 --> 02:15:56,099
science to prepare for human exploration

3227
02:16:02,089 --> 02:15:58,800
Beyond low earth orbit and to benefit

3228
02:16:04,550 --> 02:16:02,099
life on Earth such research also lays

3229
02:16:07,189 --> 02:16:04,560
the groundwork for future exploration of

3230
02:16:09,589 --> 02:16:07,199
the Moon and Mars starting with the

3231
02:16:13,550 --> 02:16:09,599

3296
02:18:55,669 --> 02:18:53,760
Dragon stayed on station for a little

3297
02:18:57,349 --> 02:18:55,679
over a month before being packed with

3298
02:18:59,570 --> 02:18:57,359
critical research and Hardware to be

3299
02:19:02,389 --> 02:18:59,580
analyzed after a safe Splashdown off the

3300
02:19:04,429 --> 02:19:02,399
coast of Florida on August 20th now

3301
02:19:06,049 --> 02:19:04,439
let's head over to Daryl at Kennedy

02:19:28,129 --> 02:19:25,800
launch into space it is a big day

3311
02:19:30,049 --> 02:19:28,139
and especially here at the Kennedy Space

3312
02:19:33,049 --> 02:19:30,059
Center where we have just been cranking

3313
02:19:35,330 --> 02:19:33,059
out the launches Bob three launches in

3314
02:19:37,310 --> 02:19:35,340
three days from three different paths we

3315
02:19:39,950 --> 02:19:37,320
had the atlas five going off from 40

3316
02:19:42,049 --> 02:19:39,960
yesterday we've got crew five of course

3317
02:19:44,030 --> 02:19:42,059
from launch complex 39a today and then

3318
02:19:46,810 --> 02:19:44,040
tomorrow SpaceX launching from their

3319
02:19:49,310 --> 02:19:46,820
other launch pad pad 41. it's hopping

3320
02:19:50,929 --> 02:19:49,320
outstanding to see all that action down

3321
02:19:52,370 --> 02:19:50,939
here at the Kennedy Space Center and

3322
02:19:54,410 --> 02:19:52,380
again it's a beautiful day I'm looking

3323
02:19:57,050 --> 02:19:54,420
forward to seeing the crew five uh folks

3324
02:19:59,810 --> 02:19:57,060
uh get into orbit indeed and liftoff

3325
02:20:03,110 --> 02:19:59,820
time is still holding for noon eastern

3326
02:20:04,910 --> 02:20:03,120

be right on the second

3328
02:20:09,349 --> 02:20:07,380
we're also tracking no issues at the

3329
02:20:11,630 --> 02:20:09,359
moment with Falcon 9 or Dragon we did

3330
02:20:14,150 --> 02:20:11,640
have additional suit leak check that we

3331
02:20:16,550 --> 02:20:14,160
performed as well as a spacecraft leak

3332
02:20:19,070 --> 02:20:16,560
check those are good to go

3333
02:20:21,290 --> 02:20:19,080
dragon now good to go the range is green

3334
02:20:23,330 --> 02:20:21,300
and of course the weather is doing

3335
02:20:25,429 --> 02:20:23,340
fabulous here at the Kennedy Space

3336
02:20:28,849 --> 02:20:25,439
Center downrange they're watching some

3337
02:20:30,770 --> 02:20:28,859
wins in the uh the abort Corridor but

3338
02:20:34,250 --> 02:20:30,780
they're looking good right now

3339
02:20:36,110 --> 02:20:34,260
and so the crew of crew five

3340
02:20:38,630 --> 02:20:36,120
talking about Commander Nicole Mann

3341
02:20:39,830 --> 02:20:38,640
pilot Josh cassida and Mission

3342
02:20:42,110 --> 02:20:39,840
specialists

3343
02:20:44,030 --> 02:20:42,120
koichiwakada

3344
02:20:46,250 --> 02:20:44,040
oh they Don their spacesuits in the

3345
02:20:48,830 --> 02:20:46,260
historic crew quarter suit up room this

3346
02:20:51,290 --> 02:20:48,840
morning they woke up around 4 30 A.M

3347
02:20:53,990 --> 02:20:51,300
those suits around 7 A.M they walked out

3348
02:20:56,570 --> 02:20:54,000
of the crew quarters building as every

3349
02:20:58,490 --> 02:20:56,580
NASA astronaut has done

3350
02:21:01,190 --> 02:20:58,500
since Apollo 7

3351
02:21:03,830 --> 02:21:01,200
and then they were transported to the

3352
02:21:06,710 --> 02:21:03,840
pad where they climbed inside the SpaceX

3353
02:21:09,530 --> 02:21:06,720
Dragon endurance for its second flight

3354
02:21:12,590 --> 02:21:09,540
now we are seeing them live while they

3355
02:21:15,950 --> 02:21:14,330
Bob you live this with your fellow

3356
02:21:17,630 --> 02:21:15,960
astronaut Doug Hurley

3357
02:21:19,670 --> 02:21:17,640
what is the crew doing right now at this

3358
02:21:21,110 --> 02:21:19,680
moment you know Daryl it's a it's a good

3359
02:21:22,910 --> 02:21:21,120
question at this point I think you can

3360
02:21:24,710 --> 02:21:22,920
see on the camera that what the crews

3361
02:21:26,809 --> 02:21:24,720
really focused on right now is uh

3362
02:21:28,910 --> 02:21:26,819
relaxing you know they've had a hectic

3363
02:21:31,130 --> 02:21:28,920
morning if you will one that's very well

3364
02:21:33,469 --> 02:21:31,140
scripted one that's very well controlled

3365
02:21:35,210 --> 02:21:33,479
but one that causes them to need to be

3366
02:21:37,309 --> 02:21:35,220
on schedule through all the individual

3367
02:21:38,870 --> 02:21:37,319
Milestones leading up to launch that

3368
02:21:40,849 --> 02:21:38,880
part's behind them now and they're

3369
02:21:43,070 --> 02:21:40,859
taking a chance to relax and catch their

3370
02:21:46,670 --> 02:21:43,080
breath before the tanking operations

3371
02:21:49,250 --> 02:21:46,680
begin here in just a few minutes

3372
02:21:51,830 --> 02:21:49,260
indeed tanking coming up as well as the

3373
02:21:55,490 --> 02:21:51,840
launch Escape system check out and the

3374
02:22:01,849 --> 02:21:58,790
the rocket is on the pad

3375
02:22:03,770 --> 02:22:01,859
ready to go and over the next hour we

3376
02:22:05,389 --> 02:22:03,780
will conduct a series of polls to get

3377
02:22:07,550 --> 02:22:05,399
ready for launch

3378
02:22:09,230 --> 02:22:07,560
the crew will also as I mentioned will

3379
02:22:12,530 --> 02:22:09,240
be arming that launch Escape system and

3380
02:22:14,090 --> 02:22:12,540
then the fueling the Falcon 9 will begin

3381
02:22:16,309 --> 02:22:14,100
let's talk a little bit about the

3382
02:22:18,650 --> 02:22:16,319
details of today's flight

3383
02:22:22,370 --> 02:22:18,660
watch of course as we mentioned

3384
02:22:24,590 --> 02:22:22,380
set for just a few seconds after noon

3385
02:22:26,809 --> 02:22:24,600
a little more than an hour from now and

3386
02:22:29,809 --> 02:22:26,819
then crew 5 astronauts will race towards

3387
02:22:32,750 --> 02:22:29,819
space reaching orbit in about 12 minutes

3388
02:22:34,490 --> 02:22:32,760
that's followed by roughly 29 hour

3389
02:22:37,190 --> 02:22:34,500
flight to dock with the International

3390
02:22:39,950 --> 02:22:37,200
Space Station one of the longer transit

3391
02:22:43,250 --> 02:22:39,960
times to the ISS and then that docking

3392
02:22:44,630 --> 02:22:43,260
will happen at 4 57 PM eastern time

3393
02:22:49,490 --> 02:22:44,640
tomorrow and of course we'll have

3394
02:22:53,990 --> 02:22:51,230
a quick history of NASA's commercial

3395
02:22:56,770 --> 02:22:54,000
crew program it all began with the first

3396
02:22:59,809 --> 02:22:56,780
successful and historic test flight

3397
02:23:02,389 --> 02:22:59,819
the closeout team has Departed the crew

3398
02:23:04,849 --> 02:23:02,399
arm and with that ground is going to

3399
02:23:10,370 --> 02:23:04,859
cycle the orbit tank isolation valves to

3400
02:23:10,380 --> 02:23:14,210
dragon attack

3401
02:23:18,590 --> 02:23:15,950
all right they're cycling the valve

3402
02:23:23,330 --> 02:23:18,600
there and as well closeout team is now

3403
02:23:25,010 --> 02:23:23,340
departing that location that you see 39a

3404
02:23:27,590 --> 02:23:25,020
they'll be making their way off the pad

3405
02:23:29,809 --> 02:23:27,600
and that will lead us into getting ready

3406
02:23:31,130 --> 02:23:29,819
to fuel the rocket

3407
02:23:32,690 --> 02:23:31,140
of course I was talking about the

3408
02:23:35,630 --> 02:23:32,700
historic test flight

3409
02:23:38,210 --> 02:23:35,640
for my partner here and co-host Bob

3410
02:23:42,469 --> 02:23:40,429
his crewmate Doug Hurley

3411
02:23:45,650 --> 02:23:42,479
together they flew the mission that was

3412
02:23:48,530 --> 02:23:45,660
called demo two and after Bob and Doug

3413
02:23:50,510 --> 02:23:48,540
returned of course NASA was certified uh

3414
02:23:52,309 --> 02:23:50,520
with SpaceX to fly astronauts regularly

3415
02:23:54,410 --> 02:23:52,319
to and from the International Space

3416
02:23:56,389 --> 02:23:54,420
Station and of course that led to the

3417
02:23:59,510 --> 02:23:56,399
regular rotational missions that we see

3418
02:24:05,929 --> 02:23:59,520
today the fifth rotational mission to

3419
02:24:13,370 --> 02:24:08,150
let's check in now with Kate Tice in

3420
02:24:18,469 --> 02:24:16,190
thanks Daryl a quick status update for

3421
02:24:21,410 --> 02:24:18,479
those that have recently tuned in we've

3422
02:24:23,270 --> 02:24:21,420
had a smooth countdown so far today that

3423
02:24:26,510 --> 02:24:23,280
you can see there on your screen are

3424
02:24:28,250 --> 02:24:26,520
four crew 5 astronauts have Ingress they

3425
02:24:32,210 --> 02:24:28,260
are in their seats their five-point

3426
02:24:34,910 --> 02:24:32,220
safety harnesses buckled in and they are

3427
02:24:37,490 --> 02:24:34,920
looking relaxed and ready to go they

3428
02:24:40,130 --> 02:24:37,500
ingressed about an hour and 45 minutes

3429
02:24:42,349 --> 02:24:40,140
ago and the teams have completed the

3430
02:24:44,929 --> 02:24:42,359
required comp checks the suit leak

3431
02:24:47,210 --> 02:24:44,939
checks the side hatch closure and its

3432
02:24:50,030 --> 02:24:47,220
Associated big check we did have to redo

3433
02:24:52,190 --> 02:24:50,040
that leak check as a piece of fod was

3434
02:24:55,309 --> 02:24:52,200
found in the seal so we opened the hatch

3435
02:24:57,710 --> 02:24:55,319
back up cleared out the seal cleaned it

3436
02:24:59,330 --> 02:24:57,720
and then uh closed the hatch again and

3437
02:25:02,030 --> 02:24:59,340
re-performed that leak check and we got

3438
02:25:04,190 --> 02:25:02,040
good lead check there and we heard just

3439
02:25:07,130 --> 02:25:04,200
moments ago that the closeout team is

3440
02:25:09,110 --> 02:25:07,140
beginning to depart the pad and at that

3441
02:25:11,210 --> 02:25:09,120
point in time it'll just be the crew 5

3442
02:25:14,090 --> 02:25:11,220
astronauts left on the pad once the

3443
02:25:15,530 --> 02:25:14,100
closeout team departs the BDA at this

3444
02:25:17,809 --> 02:25:15,540
point in time I'm happy to report that

3445
02:25:19,550 --> 02:25:17,819
the SpaceX team is working no issues and

3446
02:25:22,730 --> 02:25:19,560
the pace is certainly beginning to pick

3447
02:25:24,650 --> 02:25:22,740
up as for Falcon 9 our two-stage

3448
02:25:26,450 --> 02:25:24,660
reusable rocket final propulsion

3449
02:25:28,910 --> 02:25:26,460
checkouts of the first and second stages

3450
02:25:30,830 --> 02:25:28,920
and the engine began a few minutes ago

3451
02:25:33,530 --> 02:25:30,840
in preparation for propellant loading

3452
02:25:36,230 --> 02:25:33,540
this involves testing and cycling Valves

3453
02:25:39,290 --> 02:25:36,240
and engine pneumatics pressurization at

3454
02:25:41,330 --> 02:25:39,300
t40 at T minus 45 minutes the team will

3455
02:25:44,929 --> 02:25:41,340
report their Readiness for prop load

3456
02:25:47,090 --> 02:25:44,939
with a final electronic go no-go poll

3457
02:25:50,210 --> 02:25:47,100
again that prop load will begin at T

3458
02:25:52,130 --> 02:25:50,220
minus 35 minutes as for Dragon before we

3459
02:25:54,710 --> 02:25:52,140
can start loading propellant on Falcon 9

3460
02:25:57,530 --> 02:25:54,720
we still have a few Dragon related tasks

3461
02:25:59,929 --> 02:25:57,540
to perform first we need to retract the

3462
02:26:02,690 --> 02:25:59,939
crew access arm away from the Dragon

3463
02:26:05,510 --> 02:26:02,700
capsule we can see it there uh currently

3464
02:26:07,790 --> 02:26:05,520
connecting the crew Tower to the capsule

3465
02:26:10,610 --> 02:26:07,800
we will need to retract that access arm

3466
02:26:14,510 --> 02:26:10,620
away to its launch position uh that will

3467
02:26:17,030 --> 02:26:14,520
happen between T minus 44 and 42 minutes

3468
02:26:18,650 --> 02:26:17,040
so shortly coming up that will be the

3469
02:26:23,270 --> 02:26:18,660
back that will be the last physical

3470
02:26:25,010 --> 02:26:23,280
change to the crew Tower with the access

3471
02:26:28,370 --> 02:26:25,020
arm out of the way the launch Escape

3472
02:26:30,830 --> 02:26:28,380
system will then be armed once those two

3473
02:26:34,070 --> 02:26:30,840
events are complete Dragon will be ready

3474
02:26:36,889 --> 02:26:34,080
for uh Falcon propellant loading we did

3475
02:26:39,530 --> 02:26:36,899
hear earlier uh in one of the pre-launch

3476
02:26:42,230 --> 02:26:39,540
briefs that once the launch Escape

3477
02:26:44,870 --> 02:26:42,240
system is armed we will not have the

3478
02:26:47,389 --> 02:26:44,880
ability to recycle so we are basically

3479
02:26:49,550 --> 02:26:47,399
locked in for launch today as soon as we

3480
02:26:51,170 --> 02:26:49,560
have that launch system

3481
02:26:53,990 --> 02:26:51,180
um art

3482
02:26:56,150 --> 02:26:54,000
as for weather we will also verify with

3483
02:26:57,950 --> 02:26:56,160
the launch weather officer that all the

3484
02:27:00,290 --> 02:26:57,960
weather meets all of the associated

3485
02:27:03,309 --> 02:27:00,300
constraints including items such as wind

3486
02:27:06,530 --> 02:27:03,319
speed lightning and precipitation

3487
02:27:09,410 --> 02:27:06,540
looks like with those beautiful blue sky

3488
02:27:11,090 --> 02:27:09,420
behind Falcon and barely any clouds we

3489
02:27:13,510 --> 02:27:11,100
don't think rain is going to be an issue

3490
02:27:15,889 --> 02:27:13,520
nor lightning now we do expect

3491
02:27:18,170 --> 02:27:15,899
acceptable weather conditions for launch

3492
02:27:20,150 --> 02:27:18,180
both at surface level and upper

3493
02:27:22,070 --> 02:27:20,160
altitudes as I mentioned earlier we have

3494
02:27:24,590 --> 02:27:22,080
been watching those downrange wins and

3495
02:27:26,809 --> 02:27:24,600
they continue to Trend favorably so

3496
02:27:29,270 --> 02:27:26,819
everything green there as for the range

3497
02:27:32,270 --> 02:27:29,280
currently clear for launch from historic

3498
02:27:34,190 --> 02:27:32,280
launch pads 39a the worldwide network of

3499
02:27:36,469 --> 02:27:34,200
ground stations and the tracking and

3500
02:27:39,590 --> 02:27:36,479
data relay satellites or tdras as you

3501
02:27:41,990 --> 02:27:39,600
hear us refer refer to it as those are

3502
02:27:44,809 --> 02:27:42,000
ready to support dragon as it heads into

3503
02:27:47,929 --> 02:27:44,819
orbit today we have an instantaneous

3504
02:27:50,330 --> 02:27:47,939
launch window at 12 pm Eastern noon on

3505
02:27:52,849 --> 02:27:50,340
the dot once we begin loading propellant

3506
02:27:55,610 --> 02:27:52,859
there is no opportunity to change that

3507
02:27:57,710 --> 02:27:55,620
t0 the timing for Dragon to Rendezvous

3508
02:27:59,630 --> 02:27:57,720
with the International Space Station is

3509
02:28:02,570 --> 02:27:59,640
incredibly precise down to the very

3510
02:28:05,929 --> 02:28:02,580
second so we only get one chance at it

3511
02:28:09,770 --> 02:28:05,939
today but at good news at T minus one

3512
02:28:14,030 --> 02:28:09,780
hour uh on the dot and Counting we are

3513
02:28:20,450 --> 02:28:16,790
and we are now less than one hour until

3514
02:28:26,730 --> 02:28:20,460
liftoff this day you are go for Section

3515
02:28:30,550 --> 02:28:28,000
[Applause]

3516
02:28:35,210 --> 02:28:30,560
[Music]

3517
02:28:35,220 --> 02:28:38,570
good read back

3518
02:28:43,309 --> 02:28:40,849
so again we are now a less than one hour

3519
02:28:45,710 --> 02:28:43,319
until liftoff and this day is the

3520
02:28:48,290 --> 02:28:45,720
continuation of regular crew flights to

3521
02:28:50,809 --> 02:28:48,300
this space station from U.S soil

3522
02:28:53,150 --> 02:28:50,819
spacex's crew 5 Mission will be the

3523
02:28:55,490 --> 02:28:53,160
company's sixth crude space flight for

3524
02:28:57,889 --> 02:28:55,500
NASA following the crude test flight

3525
02:28:59,570 --> 02:28:57,899
demo 2 and four previous operational

3526
02:29:02,630 --> 02:28:59,580
crude missions to the International

3527
02:29:04,429 --> 02:29:02,640
Space Station it will also be spacex's

3528
02:29:06,410 --> 02:29:04,439
eighth crude space flight overall

3529
02:29:08,270 --> 02:29:06,420
including the private orbital Mission

3530
02:29:10,969 --> 02:29:08,280
inspiration 4.

3531
02:29:13,309 --> 02:29:10,979
today our crew is flying on board Dragon

3532
02:29:15,469 --> 02:29:13,319
endurance it will be the second flight

3533
02:29:18,530 --> 02:29:15,479
for this capsule and it will be taking a

3534
02:29:20,630 --> 02:29:18,540
ride on a brand new Falcon 9. now it's

3535
02:29:23,270 --> 02:29:20,640
been a great countdown so far weather as

3536
02:29:25,730 --> 02:29:23,280
Kate has been updating us with is still

3537
02:29:28,130 --> 02:29:25,740
good for t0 so the excitement just

3538
02:29:30,290 --> 02:29:28,140
continues to pick up here as we get

3539
02:29:32,690 --> 02:29:30,300
closer to that's easier dragon in

3540
02:29:41,090 --> 02:29:32,700
section six six through five is go for

3541
02:29:46,790 --> 02:29:44,030
and you just heard it yourself crew 5 is

3542
02:29:49,190 --> 02:29:46,800
go for launch another exciting Milestone

3543
02:29:51,110 --> 02:29:49,200
we did start our coverage earlier today

3544
02:29:53,990 --> 02:29:51,120
with the crew heading to the launch pad

3545
02:29:55,969 --> 02:29:54,000
and prior to that the SpaceX team did

3546
02:29:58,610 --> 02:29:55,979
help the crew put on their spacesuits

3547
02:30:01,309 --> 02:29:58,620
and conduct initial checkouts before

3548
02:30:04,670 --> 02:30:01,319
crew walkout crew walkout was where

3549
02:30:07,429 --> 02:30:04,680
Nicole Mann Josh cassida kuichiwakata

3550
02:30:09,830 --> 02:30:07,439
and Anya kikuna gave final goodbyes with

3551
02:30:11,990 --> 02:30:09,840
friends and family gathered outside the

3552
02:30:14,330 --> 02:30:12,000
operations and checkout building before

3553
02:30:16,429 --> 02:30:14,340
they began that roughly 20-minute ride

3554
02:30:19,070 --> 02:30:16,439
to pad 39a

3555
02:30:21,290 --> 02:30:19,080
and we were able to watch the crew as

3556
02:30:23,270 --> 02:30:21,300
they boarded their Teslas and headed

3557
02:30:25,610 --> 02:30:23,280
down the NASA Causeway headed towards

3558
02:30:27,530 --> 02:30:25,620
the launch pad and once they arrived at

3559
02:30:29,690 --> 02:30:27,540
the pad the crew took a moment to enjoy

3560
02:30:32,030 --> 02:30:29,700
the view of the vehicle as that they

3561
02:30:34,370 --> 02:30:32,040
will be taking flight on uh this

3562
02:30:35,929 --> 02:30:34,380
afternoon and then headed up the fixed

3563
02:30:38,030 --> 02:30:35,939
service structure to begin a process

3564
02:30:39,770 --> 02:30:38,040
known as crew Ingress where the

3565
02:30:42,170 --> 02:30:39,780
astronauts entered the dragon spacecraft

3566
02:30:44,389 --> 02:30:42,180
the SpaceX team then performed a series

3567
02:30:45,770 --> 02:30:44,399
of checks to ensure the suits seats and

3568
02:30:47,450 --> 02:30:45,780
vehicle interactions were all

3569
02:30:50,929 --> 02:30:47,460
functioning properly

3570
02:30:53,150 --> 02:30:50,939
and a short time a short time ago the

3571
02:30:56,330 --> 02:30:53,160
team did close out dragon's hatch and

3572
02:30:58,490 --> 02:30:56,340
the crew is safely inside so with less

3573
02:31:00,650 --> 02:30:58,500
than an hour to go until liftoff things

3574
02:31:03,290 --> 02:31:00,660
will continue to pick up as we get close

3575
02:31:05,270 --> 02:31:03,300
to the go no go Pole to arm the launch

3576
02:31:06,170 --> 02:31:05,280
Escape system and begin propellant

3577
02:31:08,090 --> 02:31:06,180
loading

3578
02:31:10,790 --> 02:31:08,100
the crew pull for Readiness was

3579
02:31:13,910 --> 02:31:10,800
completed at the T minus 60 Minute Mark

3580
02:31:16,130 --> 02:31:13,920
and the dragon pull for prop load is

3581
02:31:19,070 --> 02:31:16,140
coming up here at T minus 55 minutes

3582
02:31:20,750 --> 02:31:19,080
after that at 2 minus 45 minutes will be

3583
02:31:22,429 --> 02:31:20,760
an internal Mission Control Hawthorne

3584
02:31:24,530 --> 02:31:22,439
pole and then the launch director's Poll

3585
02:31:26,450 --> 02:31:24,540
for propellant loading when we get to

3586
02:31:28,370 --> 02:31:26,460
about T minus 40 minutes the crew access

3587
02:31:30,290 --> 02:31:28,380
arm will retract and the crew will get

3588
02:31:32,750 --> 02:31:30,300
the call to close their visors and to

3589
02:31:34,670 --> 02:31:32,760
arm the launch Escape system now this is

3590
02:31:36,410 --> 02:31:34,680
the automated safety system in place

3591
02:31:39,170 --> 02:31:36,420
that can fire the eight super Draco

3592
02:31:41,210 --> 02:31:39,180
thrusters on Dragon to quickly separate

3593
02:31:42,710 --> 02:31:41,220
the crew from the rocket either on the

3594
02:31:43,730 --> 02:31:42,720
pad or during the flight on the ride

3595
02:31:47,210 --> 02:31:43,740
uphill

3596
02:31:49,070 --> 02:31:47,220
and then once we reach about T minus 35

3597
02:31:59,450 --> 02:31:49,080
minutes propellant loading for the

3598
02:32:05,870 --> 02:32:03,050
so we did hear that the crew is go for

3599
02:32:08,389 --> 02:32:05,880
launch great news so with that let's

3600
02:32:10,670 --> 02:32:08,399
send it back to the team in Florida

3601
02:32:12,889 --> 02:32:10,680
Megan

3602
02:32:14,929 --> 02:32:12,899
great news guys so yeah now I'm joined

3603
02:32:16,250 --> 02:32:14,939
with uh Brian onyate but I'm gonna have

3604
02:32:17,690 --> 02:32:16,260
him say his title because I think I'm

3605
02:32:19,790 --> 02:32:17,700
gonna mess it up so you say what you are

3606
02:32:21,170 --> 02:32:19,800
sure good morning yeah I'm the chief of

3607
02:32:22,670 --> 02:32:21,180
utilization and Life Sciences office

3608
02:32:24,050 --> 02:32:22,680
here at Kennedy Space Center it was a

3609
02:32:25,730 --> 02:32:24,060
little long I was like I'm gonna have

3610
02:32:27,050 --> 02:32:25,740
him say it yeah long title so I wanted

3611
02:32:28,790 --> 02:32:27,060
to talk to you about how NASA has been

3612
02:32:30,530 --> 02:32:28,800
studying plant growth and microgravity

3613
02:32:32,330 --> 02:32:30,540
for many years now so tell us about the

3614
02:32:33,469 --> 02:32:32,340
two experiments that crew 5 is going to

3615
02:32:35,690 --> 02:32:33,479
be working on while they're on station

3616
02:32:36,950 --> 02:32:35,700
sure we have two uh experiments going up

3617
02:32:39,349 --> 02:32:36,960
one is more of a plant research

3618
02:32:41,510 --> 02:32:39,359
experiment we call it plant habitat O3

3619
02:32:43,550 --> 02:32:41,520
it will be going into the advanced plant

3620
02:32:45,770 --> 02:32:43,560
habitat and actually that plant

3621
02:32:47,870 --> 02:32:45,780
experiment is doing a generational study

3622
02:32:49,849 --> 02:32:47,880
so as you can see that's the advanced

3623
02:32:50,809 --> 02:32:49,859
plan habitat and those uh the plant that

3624
02:32:53,929 --> 02:32:50,819
is growing in there is called

3625
02:32:55,849 --> 02:32:53,939
arabidopsis it's our model plant and uh

3626
02:32:58,670 --> 02:32:55,859
basically we're going to grow that and

3627
02:33:00,290 --> 02:32:58,680
get it all the way to seed and the study

3628
02:33:02,630 --> 02:33:00,300
is basically getting those seeds

3629
02:33:04,130 --> 02:33:02,640
bringing them back and then re-flying

3630
02:33:05,750 --> 02:33:04,140
those seeds to see what happens so

3631
02:33:07,309 --> 02:33:05,760
what's interesting is and the second

3632
02:33:09,290 --> 02:33:07,319
picture right that we have that's how

3633
02:33:10,370 --> 02:33:09,300
you capture the seeds yeah that's how we

3634
02:33:12,290 --> 02:33:10,380
capture seeds what's interesting about

3635
02:33:13,610 --> 02:33:12,300
those seats they're actually the size of

3636
02:33:16,010 --> 02:33:13,620
pepper so imagine the pepper that you

3637
02:33:17,809 --> 02:33:16,020
put on your food very tiny very small so

3638
02:33:20,030 --> 02:33:17,819
we had to actually develop these capture

3639
02:33:21,889 --> 02:33:20,040
bags to grab those seeds so what we're

3640
02:33:24,410 --> 02:33:21,899
noticing is in the previous experiment

3641
02:33:26,150 --> 02:33:24,420
the DNA of the plant actually changed

3642
02:33:28,250 --> 02:33:26,160
and it almost seemed like it was trying

3643
02:33:30,170 --> 02:33:28,260
to protect itself from the environment

3644
02:33:32,750 --> 02:33:30,180
of space the harsh environment that's up

3645
02:33:35,630 --> 02:33:32,760
there so what we want to study is can we

3646
02:33:37,250 --> 02:33:35,640
actually grab those seeds and will those

3647
02:33:39,349 --> 02:33:37,260
seeds remember that environment so when

3648
02:33:40,670 --> 02:33:39,359
we fly the second generation well they

3649
02:33:42,349 --> 02:33:40,680
kind of have a leg up well they go

3650
02:33:44,090 --> 02:33:42,359
already kind of pre-programmed to

3651
02:33:45,349 --> 02:33:44,100
protect themselves so that way the

3652
02:33:47,030 --> 02:33:45,359
plants will thrive in space that's

3653
02:33:48,950 --> 02:33:47,040
interesting why is that something that

3654
02:33:51,110 --> 02:33:48,960
you wanted to see what can we learn from

3655
02:33:53,450 --> 02:33:51,120
that or use yeah so what we can do is

3656
02:33:54,950 --> 02:33:53,460
for exploration with NASA obviously we

3657
02:33:56,630 --> 02:33:54,960
want to get to the orbiting station

3658
02:33:58,790 --> 02:33:56,640
around the Moon one day or the surface

3659
02:34:00,710 --> 02:33:58,800
or the transit vehicle or Mars how can

3660
02:34:02,270 --> 02:34:00,720
we better prepare the plants that we

3661
02:34:04,190 --> 02:34:02,280
send or the crops that we send up there

3662
02:34:05,870 --> 02:34:04,200
so that they actually are ready to go

3663
02:34:07,550 --> 02:34:05,880
they'll Thrive and we understand what's

3664
02:34:09,290 --> 02:34:07,560
happening so that the crew can actually

3665
02:34:11,650 --> 02:34:09,300
consume something great always Forward

3666
02:34:13,370 --> 02:34:11,660
Thinking here

3667
02:34:15,590 --> 02:34:13,380
well let's talk about the second

3668
02:34:17,210 --> 02:34:15,600
experiment that one's called veg 05 and

3669
02:34:18,710 --> 02:34:17,220
we have some props here to kind of walk

3670
02:34:20,690 --> 02:34:18,720
people through that yeah we do yeah so

3671
02:34:23,389 --> 02:34:20,700
bedroom five it's actually

3672
02:34:25,309 --> 02:34:23,399
um we're growing dwarf tomato plants

3673
02:34:27,410 --> 02:34:25,319
um and we're gonna put them in this uh

3674
02:34:28,610 --> 02:34:27,420
what we call here is a plant pillow

3675
02:34:30,710 --> 02:34:28,620
um it's what's interesting it's actually

3676
02:34:32,690 --> 02:34:30,720
made out of Kevlar so exactly what

3677
02:34:34,849 --> 02:34:32,700
Police use in the police vest so I guess

3678
02:34:36,349 --> 02:34:34,859
they might be bulletproof um my pillows

3679
02:34:38,389 --> 02:34:36,359
but yeah so these plant pillows it's

3680
02:34:40,070 --> 02:34:38,399
just basically how do we hold the soil

3681
02:34:42,230 --> 02:34:40,080
how do we put the fertilizer and the

3682
02:34:43,370 --> 02:34:42,240
seed in there in order for us to um grow

3683
02:34:44,690 --> 02:34:43,380
the plants because they would just fly

3684
02:34:46,070 --> 02:34:44,700
around on the spaces they would just fly

3685
02:34:47,270 --> 02:34:46,080
around on the space station so we have a

3686
02:34:49,250 --> 02:34:47,280
little what we call a quick disconnect

3687
02:34:51,469 --> 02:34:49,260
here this is where we apply the water so

3688
02:34:53,030 --> 02:34:51,479
once we apply the water in there we have

3689
02:34:55,250 --> 02:34:53,040
to keep watering it like here on Earth

3690
02:34:57,290 --> 02:34:55,260
and just let the plants grow and let

3691
02:34:59,210 --> 02:34:57,300
them thrive in space so you mentioned

3692
02:35:01,190 --> 02:34:59,220
the fertilizer yep the fertilizer and

3693
02:35:03,590 --> 02:35:01,200
the arsenite so what you see there on on

3694
02:35:05,750 --> 02:35:03,600
the right there is the um arsolite which

3695
02:35:07,790 --> 02:35:05,760
is actually clay chips right it's the

3696
02:35:09,410 --> 02:35:07,800
soil that basically allows the water to

3697
02:35:10,969 --> 02:35:09,420
be absorbed and allows the plants the

3698
02:35:13,010 --> 02:35:10,979
roots to kind of grow in their grab

3699
02:35:14,750 --> 02:35:13,020
water and nutrients I'm the second there

3700
02:35:16,730 --> 02:35:14,760
that you see there is a fertilizer and

3701
02:35:18,290 --> 02:35:16,740
it's a slow release fertilizer so when

3702
02:35:19,490 --> 02:35:18,300
we add water into it it kind of

3703
02:35:20,929 --> 02:35:19,500
dissolves little by little and it

3704
02:35:23,450 --> 02:35:20,939
provides the food that the plants need

3705
02:35:26,450 --> 02:35:23,460
so that they can grow okay so why is

3706
02:35:27,889 --> 02:35:26,460
this important for us on space but also

3707
02:35:29,990 --> 02:35:27,899
here on Earth to learn about this

3708
02:35:31,730 --> 02:35:30,000
particular experiment sure um both of

3709
02:35:34,550 --> 02:35:31,740
these experiments are important one is

3710
02:35:35,809 --> 02:35:34,560
obviously for exploration we want to

3711
02:35:37,550 --> 02:35:35,819
make sure that the seeds that we send

3712
02:35:39,710 --> 02:35:37,560
the plants that we grow will Thrive

3713
02:35:42,170 --> 02:35:39,720
right so what how can we make them excel

3714
02:35:44,030 --> 02:35:42,180
in space right and the second piece with

3715
02:35:46,070 --> 02:35:44,040
Federal 5 which we find interesting is

3716
02:35:49,070 --> 02:35:46,080
how can we actually get food for the

3717
02:35:50,630 --> 02:35:49,080
crew so you don't orbit right so healthy

3718
02:35:53,030 --> 02:35:50,640
nutritious food this is actually going

3719
02:35:55,250 --> 02:35:53,040
to be our second flowering plant that we

3720
02:35:56,690 --> 02:35:55,260
grow in space which is awesome so

3721
02:35:58,670 --> 02:35:56,700
they'll grow up there they'll have to

3722
02:36:00,530 --> 02:35:58,680
pollinate you know and the crew members

3723
02:36:01,849 --> 02:36:00,540
might have to be our space bees you know

3724
02:36:03,230 --> 02:36:01,859
we don't have bees up there to help us

3725
02:36:05,450 --> 02:36:03,240
pollinate so they might have to you know

3726
02:36:06,889 --> 02:36:05,460
help with pollination they'll grow and

3727
02:36:09,110 --> 02:36:06,899
then hopefully they'll get some

3728
02:36:11,030 --> 02:36:09,120
nutritious fresh food up there and the

3729
02:36:12,650 --> 02:36:11,040
benefit what I find interesting in here

3730
02:36:14,809 --> 02:36:12,660
for Earth is there's a lot of things

3731
02:36:17,090 --> 02:36:14,819
that we learn with ISS ISS is basically

3732
02:36:19,070 --> 02:36:17,100
a laboratory or another test tool so we

3733
02:36:21,290 --> 02:36:19,080
really want to see what data Can We

3734
02:36:22,910 --> 02:36:21,300
Gather from growing up there so when we

3735
02:36:24,230 --> 02:36:22,920
bring it down to earth if we're in a

3736
02:36:26,210 --> 02:36:24,240
stressful environment or another

3737
02:36:27,830 --> 02:36:26,220
environment that is challenging sure

3738
02:36:29,450 --> 02:36:27,840
what did we learn up there so we can

3739
02:36:30,710 --> 02:36:29,460
actually grow better better crops here

3740
02:36:32,030 --> 02:36:30,720
on Earth I love hearing about the

3741
02:36:33,469 --> 02:36:32,040
science Brian thank you so much for

3742
02:36:35,150 --> 02:36:33,479
sharing that no problem sounds great

3743
02:36:37,250 --> 02:36:35,160
we'll send it back to you guys

3744
02:36:39,650 --> 02:36:37,260
thank you Megan Brian and throughout the

3745
02:36:42,170 --> 02:36:39,660
show we've been taking your hashtag ask

3746
02:36:44,090 --> 02:36:42,180
NASA questions from social media we have

3747
02:36:45,410 --> 02:36:44,100
time for a few more that have been

3748
02:36:46,790 --> 02:36:45,420
coming in and we appreciate those

3749
02:36:49,190 --> 02:36:46,800
questions coming if you want to submit

3750
02:36:50,990 --> 02:36:49,200
one it's hashtag asknasa on our

3751
02:36:53,330 --> 02:36:51,000
streaming channels NASA Facebook Twitter

3752
02:36:56,030 --> 02:36:53,340
Youtube and twitch the question is from

3753
02:36:57,710 --> 02:36:56,040
a DD on YouTube he asked Bob binkin how

3754
02:36:59,990 --> 02:36:57,720
was the launch experience different on

3755
02:37:02,150 --> 02:37:00,000
Space Shuttle and crew Dragon was one

3756
02:37:04,190 --> 02:37:02,160
better than the other no it's a great

3757
02:37:06,050 --> 02:37:04,200
question Daryl we often get asked which

3758
02:37:07,969 --> 02:37:06,060
vehicle is better uh which one we love

3759
02:37:09,230 --> 02:37:07,979
the most and from my perspective I love

3760
02:37:11,450 --> 02:37:09,240
them both you know I had a great

3761
02:37:13,190 --> 02:37:11,460
opportunity to fly and build space

3762
02:37:14,809 --> 02:37:13,200
station with a space shuttle but then

3763
02:37:16,849 --> 02:37:14,819
rotate as a crew member with the dragon

3764
02:37:18,650 --> 02:37:16,859
on a modern spacecraft you know that was

3765
02:37:20,570 --> 02:37:18,660
a really neat aspect to see something

3766
02:37:22,250 --> 02:37:20,580
that was kind of built in the 21st

3767
02:37:24,830 --> 02:37:22,260
century versus something that was built

3768
02:37:26,150 --> 02:37:24,840
you know almost the middle of the 20th

3769
02:37:27,650 --> 02:37:26,160
century if you look back at the

3770
02:37:29,389 --> 02:37:27,660
technology that was on board the shuttle

3771
02:37:30,950 --> 02:37:29,399
just super excited to have an

3772
02:37:32,750 --> 02:37:30,960
opportunity to fly on such a cool modern

3773
02:37:36,650 --> 02:37:32,760
new ship

3774
02:37:38,030 --> 02:37:36,660
and now next question at Mike Mangano I

3775
02:37:40,190 --> 02:37:38,040
hope I'm pronouncing that correctly

3776
02:37:41,630 --> 02:37:40,200
asked and this is a fitting question for

3777
02:37:43,730 --> 02:37:41,640
you Bob

3778
02:37:46,670 --> 02:37:43,740
did the NASA astronauts who fly the

3779
02:37:49,730 --> 02:37:46,680
Dragon capsule help in the design of the

3780
02:37:51,710 --> 02:37:49,740
capsule why yes they did you know it's a

3781
02:37:53,570 --> 02:37:51,720
it was an interesting experience I think

3782
02:37:55,490 --> 02:37:53,580
for both Doug and I to have the

3783
02:37:57,530 --> 02:37:55,500
opportunity to not only fly on a new

3784
02:37:59,690 --> 02:37:57,540
spacecraft but be a part of shaping It

3785
02:38:01,490 --> 02:37:59,700
For Crews to come forward and I think as

3786
02:38:03,530 --> 02:38:01,500
we went through that process the SpaceX

3787
02:38:05,030 --> 02:38:03,540
team really learned how to work with us

3788
02:38:06,710 --> 02:38:05,040
and how to take our inputs and

3789
02:38:08,750 --> 02:38:06,720
incorporate them into design whenever

3790
02:38:10,010 --> 02:38:08,760
they could and explain to us when they

3791
02:38:12,230 --> 02:38:10,020
couldn't because everything that we

3792
02:38:13,910 --> 02:38:12,240
wanted they couldn't necessarily do but

3793
02:38:15,950 --> 02:38:13,920
we were able to compromise and come up

3794
02:38:18,170 --> 02:38:15,960
with good Solutions so that years later

3795
02:38:19,849 --> 02:38:18,180
maybe in crew 5's case you know they

3796
02:38:21,770 --> 02:38:19,859
wouldn't be cursing Bob and Doug's name

3797
02:38:23,929 --> 02:38:21,780
as to what they had agreed to or said

3798
02:38:25,790 --> 02:38:23,939
was acceptable when the time came we

3799
02:38:27,889 --> 02:38:25,800
wanted to have opportunities for them to

3800
02:38:29,690 --> 02:38:27,899
have choices we included the opportunity

3801
02:38:31,550 --> 02:38:29,700
to write on paper but also to have a

3802
02:38:32,929 --> 02:38:31,560
tablet you know so that Cruz as they

3803
02:38:34,910 --> 02:38:32,939
went forward with their missions would

3804
02:38:36,349 --> 02:38:34,920
be able to find the place that you know

3805
02:38:38,510 --> 02:38:36,359
helped them be as successful as they

3806
02:38:40,130 --> 02:38:38,520
could be and so I'm hopeful that there

3807
02:38:41,570 --> 02:38:40,140
just aren't too many curses associated

3808
02:38:44,210 --> 02:38:41,580
with the Bob and Doug and it's most

3809
02:38:46,130 --> 02:38:44,220
honestly you know hey those guys uh they

3810
02:38:48,410 --> 02:38:46,140
were thinking when they did this so and

3811
02:38:51,469 --> 02:38:48,420
we've had good results so far with uh

3812
02:38:53,870 --> 02:38:51,479
four launches in the fifth today our

3813
02:38:56,210 --> 02:38:53,880
next question comes from atmorearts.com

3814
02:38:58,130 --> 02:38:56,220
if the astronaut schedule shifts during

3815
02:39:00,469 --> 02:38:58,140
docking activities does their schedule

3816
02:39:02,690 --> 02:39:00,479
shift later in the day or the next

3817
02:39:04,670 --> 02:39:02,700
morning you know we do know that the the

3818
02:39:06,410 --> 02:39:04,680
ISS crew is sleep shifting in order to

3819
02:39:08,389 --> 02:39:06,420
accommodate this crew

3820
02:39:09,650 --> 02:39:08,399
it's true Daryl that the the crew

3821
02:39:11,750 --> 02:39:09,660
actually has to sleep shift to

3822
02:39:13,370 --> 02:39:11,760
accommodate the schedules of the vehicle

3823
02:39:15,050 --> 02:39:13,380
traffic that arrives on board the space

3824
02:39:16,790 --> 02:39:15,060
station there are even times when the

3825
02:39:18,170 --> 02:39:16,800
vehicle arrives a few minutes earlier a

3826
02:39:20,450 --> 02:39:18,180
few minutes late and the crew needs to

3827
02:39:22,370 --> 02:39:20,460
be ready for that as well and so the

3828
02:39:24,230 --> 02:39:22,380
crew does shift their day around to

3829
02:39:26,450 --> 02:39:24,240
support all the operational activities

3830
02:39:28,910 --> 02:39:26,460
not only vehicle traffic and arrivals

3831
02:39:30,950 --> 02:39:28,920
but a spacewalk may impact things or

3832
02:39:32,510 --> 02:39:30,960
other activities that are happening on

3833
02:39:34,550 --> 02:39:32,520
the ground for example might drive is

3834
02:39:36,410 --> 02:39:34,560
scheduled to be specific as well but the

3835
02:39:39,110 --> 02:39:36,420
crew's given time to recover after each

3836
02:39:40,550 --> 02:39:39,120
of those sleep shifts very good and for

3837
02:39:43,130 --> 02:39:40,560
those watching if you want to ask a

3838
02:39:44,870 --> 02:39:43,140
question of Bob binkin just follow us on

3839
02:39:47,809 --> 02:39:44,880
Twitter at Nasa social or check us out

3840
02:39:49,969 --> 02:39:47,819
on the web at nasa.gov forward slash

3841
02:39:51,590 --> 02:39:49,979
social thanks for asking or answering

3842
02:39:53,990 --> 02:39:51,600
those questions Bob great job let's send

3843
02:39:57,590 --> 02:39:54,000
it now back out to Kate at SpaceX for an

3844
02:40:02,150 --> 02:40:00,170
always love hearing those responses from

3845
02:40:06,170 --> 02:40:02,160
any astronaut but especially Bob because

3846
02:40:08,750 --> 02:40:06,180
he flew uh on our dm2 mission a couple

3847
02:40:10,969 --> 02:40:08,760
years ago so at this point in time we're

3848
02:40:13,790 --> 02:40:10,979
now under an hour we're at T minus 48

3849
02:40:15,770 --> 02:40:13,800
minutes and the SpaceX launch Team uh is

3850
02:40:18,110 --> 02:40:15,780
finishing the final review of data from

3851
02:40:21,110 --> 02:40:18,120
checkouts of Falcon 9 over the last hour

3852
02:40:23,030 --> 02:40:21,120
the launch director has verified with

3853
02:40:25,250 --> 02:40:23,040
the launch weather officer that weather

3854
02:40:27,050 --> 02:40:25,260
meets propellant loading constraints so

3855
02:40:29,870 --> 02:40:27,060
next up will be to pull the team for

3856
02:40:32,090 --> 02:40:29,880
Readiness both for propellant load and

3857
02:40:34,550 --> 02:40:32,100
for launch this will be the last poll

3858
02:40:37,030 --> 02:40:34,560
before liftoff the seven SpaceX

3859
02:40:39,410 --> 02:40:37,040
responsible Engineers often called res

3860
02:40:41,270 --> 02:40:39,420
indicate that they are go by

3861
02:40:43,730 --> 02:40:41,280
electronically voting on the online

3862
02:40:46,250 --> 02:40:43,740
countdown procedure the launch director

3863
02:40:47,990 --> 02:40:46,260
or LD as you hear it called on the Nets

3864
02:40:50,750 --> 02:40:48,000
also checks with the dragon mission

3865
02:40:52,790 --> 02:40:50,760
director or MD and the NASA launch

3866
02:40:53,750 --> 02:40:52,800
manager to make sure that they are also

3867
02:40:55,849 --> 02:40:53,760
ready

3868
02:40:58,370 --> 02:40:55,859
earlier you saw the Vehicle Assembly

3869
02:41:01,309 --> 02:40:58,380
Building called the VAB the Falcon and

3870
02:41:03,170 --> 02:41:01,319
Dragon launch team as well as key NASA

3871
02:41:05,990 --> 02:41:03,180
launch members are in the launch control

3872
02:41:08,270 --> 02:41:06,000
center adjacent to the VAV they have a

3873
02:41:11,210 --> 02:41:08,280
view straight toward pad 39a through the

3874
02:41:12,830 --> 02:41:11,220
large Windows of firing room 4. now

3875
02:41:15,170 --> 02:41:12,840
they're on screen you can see the Dragon

3876
02:41:17,270 --> 02:41:15,180
capsule on the right hand side the crew

3877
02:41:19,969 --> 02:41:17,280
access arm is still in the service

3878
02:41:22,550 --> 02:41:19,979
position I've recently heard that the

3879
02:41:24,290 --> 02:41:22,560
closeout team has Departed the tower and

3880
02:41:27,290 --> 02:41:24,300
they are in the process of departing the

3881
02:41:29,630 --> 02:41:27,300
blast danger area now with the crew

3882
02:41:32,090 --> 02:41:29,640
onboard Dragon waiting for next

3883
02:41:34,030 --> 02:41:32,100
instructions which will be to Stow the

3884
02:41:38,030 --> 02:41:34,040
crew arm for launch

3885
02:41:40,190 --> 02:41:38,040
and the crew arm sequence will be armed

3886
02:41:43,010 --> 02:41:40,200
and initiated we should get a good view

3887
02:41:44,270 --> 02:41:43,020
of the axis arm as it squares on

3888
02:41:47,210 --> 02:41:44,280
countdown

3889
02:41:50,870 --> 02:41:47,220
polling is complete the team has pulled

3890
02:41:53,929 --> 02:41:50,880
go for crew access arm retract Les arm

3891
02:41:56,630 --> 02:41:53,939
account load and launch

3892
02:41:58,849 --> 02:41:56,640
for all operators in mccx and firing or

3893
02:42:01,190 --> 02:41:58,859
both control rooms that go into lockdown

3894
02:42:02,690 --> 02:42:01,200
18 minus 45 minutes and remain in that

3895
02:42:04,969 --> 02:42:02,700
state until launch Escape system is

3896
02:42:06,349 --> 02:42:04,979
disarmed all operators are to remain at

3897
02:42:08,750 --> 02:42:06,359
their console and maintain a sterile

3898
02:42:10,190 --> 02:42:08,760
cockpit until MD confirms successful

3899
02:42:12,830 --> 02:42:10,200
disarming of the large scale system

3900
02:42:15,770 --> 02:42:12,840
following orbit insertion or propellant

3901
02:42:18,349 --> 02:42:15,780
offload the event of a scrub

3902
02:42:20,450 --> 02:42:18,359
for non-urgent no-go conditions brief

3903
02:42:21,710 --> 02:42:20,460
the CE or LD and they will approve a

3904
02:42:23,389 --> 02:42:21,720
boarding the countdown

3905
02:42:25,190 --> 02:42:23,399
virgin issues affecting the safety of

3906
02:42:27,469 --> 02:42:25,200
the operation operators shall call hold

3907
02:42:29,450 --> 02:42:27,479
hold hold hold hold account.net plus

3908
02:42:31,490 --> 02:42:29,460
total will afford to launch Auto

3909
02:42:33,050 --> 02:42:31,500
sequence and immediately proceed into

3910
02:42:34,730 --> 02:42:33,060
launch report

3911
02:42:36,530 --> 02:42:34,740
the D minus 10 seconds launch control

3912
02:42:38,450 --> 02:42:36,540
will be hands off relying on automated

3913
02:42:39,530 --> 02:42:38,460
support criteria for the remainder of

3914
02:42:40,969 --> 02:42:39,540
the count

3915
02:42:42,469 --> 02:42:40,979
operators advise the law instructor

3916
02:42:44,270 --> 02:42:42,479
whether structural breakup or fires

3917
02:42:46,250 --> 02:42:44,280
eminent or occurring for Dragon manual

3918
02:42:48,410 --> 02:42:46,260
Escape flight rules

3919
02:42:52,070 --> 02:42:48,420
launch troll at this time we proceed

3920
02:42:54,230 --> 02:42:52,080
with arming the crew armor for movement

3921
02:42:59,090 --> 02:42:54,240
lost control of copies proceeding to arm

3922
02:43:02,870 --> 02:43:01,670
all right quick recap there all really

3923
02:43:05,870 --> 02:43:02,880
good news

3924
02:43:07,730 --> 02:43:05,880
um it sounds like the final poll has

3925
02:43:11,389 --> 02:43:07,740
been conducted and all of the

3926
02:43:13,309 --> 02:43:11,399
responsible Engineers hold go as well as

3927
02:43:17,090 --> 02:43:13,319
the range they pulled ready for launch

3928
02:43:19,910 --> 02:43:17,100
and the NASA team for LA the NASA launch

3929
02:43:22,010 --> 02:43:19,920
team is also ready for launch so

3930
02:43:23,870 --> 02:43:22,020
everything continuing to look good we

3931
02:43:26,210 --> 02:43:23,880
just heard there that the crew arm

3932
02:43:28,429 --> 02:43:26,220
excuse me the crew access arm will be

3933
02:43:30,710 --> 02:43:28,439
armed for retraction meaning it will

3934
02:43:32,090 --> 02:43:30,720
move away from the driver arm retraction

3935
02:43:34,010 --> 02:43:32,100
started

3936
02:43:36,650 --> 02:43:34,020
all right and there we should get a view

3937
02:43:38,990 --> 02:43:36,660
of that crew access arm now moving away

3938
02:43:41,389 --> 02:43:39,000
from Dragon capsule again this will

3939
02:43:43,910 --> 02:43:41,399
swing out into its launch position this

3940
02:43:46,610 --> 02:43:43,920
is the final change to the crew access

3941
02:43:48,889 --> 02:43:46,620
arm excuse me to the crew Tower

3942
02:43:52,070 --> 02:43:48,899
um of course the transporter erector

3943
02:43:53,750 --> 02:43:52,080
will move away from the rocket as it

3944
02:43:55,730 --> 02:43:53,760
lifts off and just shortly before

3945
02:43:57,830 --> 02:43:55,740
liftoff so that in fact will be the last

3946
02:44:00,469 --> 02:43:57,840
major physical change that we see to the

3947
02:44:03,469 --> 02:44:00,479
pad but this crew access arm retraction

3948
02:44:08,030 --> 02:44:03,479
is the final uh will be the final State

3949
02:44:13,490 --> 02:44:10,610
this retraction should take about a

3950
02:44:16,010 --> 02:44:13,500
minute to complete now as I mentioned

3951
02:44:17,750 --> 02:44:16,020
before the range continues to be go for

3952
02:44:20,510 --> 02:44:17,760
launch monitoring the clearance area

3953
02:44:23,450 --> 02:44:20,520
around the launch pad as well as air and

3954
02:44:25,849 --> 02:44:23,460
sea space around the flight Corridor and

3955
02:44:27,889 --> 02:44:25,859
of course uh here at Kennedy Space

3956
02:44:30,110 --> 02:44:27,899
Center as you see on your screen the

3957
02:44:32,150 --> 02:44:30,120
conditions are gorgeous everything

3958
02:44:34,550 --> 02:44:32,160
continues to be acceptable for launch

3959
02:44:38,090 --> 02:44:34,560
many things go into considerations such

3960
02:44:39,830 --> 02:44:38,100
as round wins any rain that might be in

3961
02:44:41,929 --> 02:44:39,840
the area as well as potential for

3962
02:44:44,090 --> 02:44:41,939
lightning any thick clouds and of course

3963
02:44:46,490 --> 02:44:44,100
as I mentioned before downrange landing

3964
02:44:47,870 --> 02:44:46,500
zones we have mentioned before that

3965
02:44:51,170 --> 02:44:47,880
we've been tracking those but everything

3966
02:44:53,090 --> 02:44:51,180
continues to look green for launch at

3967
02:44:56,570 --> 02:44:53,100
this point in time everything is looking

3968
02:44:58,610 --> 02:44:56,580
on time for our lift off at noon Eastern

3969
02:45:01,250 --> 02:44:58,620
we can see that crew access arm

3970
02:45:02,990 --> 02:45:01,260
continuing to retract pretty cool shot

3971
02:45:04,730 --> 02:45:03,000
there from inside the arm on the right

3972
02:45:08,389 --> 02:45:04,740
hand side of your screen as we see

3973
02:45:10,190 --> 02:45:08,399
Dragon slowly move out of the frame so

3974
02:45:13,250 --> 02:45:10,200
with all that being said the teams are

3975
02:45:17,510 --> 02:45:13,260
ready we will begin the propellant load

3976
02:45:20,090 --> 02:45:17,520
at T minus 35 minutes and we are getting

3977
02:45:21,530 --> 02:45:20,100
excited here at SpaceX headquarters the

3978
02:45:24,349 --> 02:45:21,540
energy is definitely starting to pick up

3979
02:45:26,809 --> 02:45:24,359
outside of Mission Control but with that

3980
02:45:29,030 --> 02:45:26,819
let's hand it off to Daryl to check in

3981
02:45:31,670 --> 02:45:29,040
back over there at Kennedy Space Center

3982
02:45:34,429 --> 02:45:31,680
all right thank you Kate and uh back

3983
02:45:36,290 --> 02:45:34,439
here on the lawn and the host desk

3984
02:45:39,349 --> 02:45:36,300
looking out at uh what one of my

3985
02:45:41,809 --> 02:45:39,359
co-workers called a picnic Vibe with the

3986
02:45:45,230 --> 02:45:41,819
media and NASA social folks all joined

3987
02:45:48,050 --> 02:45:45,240
here to watch crew 5 launch and just

3988
02:45:49,969 --> 02:45:48,060
backfit arm retraction complete and

3989
02:45:53,389 --> 02:45:49,979
there you heard confirmation that that

3990
02:45:56,210 --> 02:45:53,399
crew access arm has fully retracted from

3991
02:45:58,190 --> 02:45:56,220
the rocket a gorgeous shot there from

3992
02:45:59,630 --> 02:45:58,200
our flight operations team here at the

3993
02:46:01,910 --> 02:45:59,640
Kennedy Space Center a helicopter

3994
02:46:03,290 --> 02:46:01,920
encircling the pad right now to give you

3995
02:46:05,630 --> 02:46:03,300
that view

3996
02:46:08,630 --> 02:46:05,640
great job fellas

3997
02:46:12,950 --> 02:46:08,640
T-minus 42 minutes and Counting

3998
02:46:14,510 --> 02:46:12,960
as we zip around launch complex 39a

3999
02:46:17,030 --> 02:46:14,520
the background

4000
02:46:17,990 --> 02:46:17,040
the launch tower for Dragon and in the

4001
02:46:20,150 --> 02:46:18,000
foreground

4002
02:46:21,710 --> 02:46:20,160
a Starship launch tower under

4003
02:46:23,510 --> 02:46:21,720
construction

4004
02:46:25,969 --> 02:46:23,520
up next we're looking at the launch

4005
02:46:28,070 --> 02:46:25,979
Escape system getting ready to arm and

4006
02:46:30,230 --> 02:46:28,080
of course that comes right before we

4007
02:46:31,969 --> 02:46:30,240
start loading propellant

4008
02:46:34,790 --> 02:46:31,979
we're expecting to hear those call outs

4009
02:46:41,809 --> 02:46:38,630
on a beautiful Bluebird day

4010
02:46:45,349 --> 02:46:41,819
at the Kennedy Space Center

4011
02:46:47,090 --> 02:46:45,359
our crew crew 5 is in their seats at the

4012
02:46:49,429 --> 02:46:47,100
very top of that rocket inside the

4013
02:46:51,469 --> 02:46:49,439
capsule endurance making its second

4014
02:46:53,090 --> 02:46:51,479
flight

4015
02:46:56,270 --> 02:46:53,100
there they are

4016
02:47:01,190 --> 02:46:59,270
cosmonaut anakikina

4017
02:47:02,870 --> 02:47:01,200
Josh cassida

4018
02:47:06,889 --> 02:47:02,880
Nicole Mann

4019
02:47:11,150 --> 02:47:08,929
and Daryl getting into position to begin

4020
02:47:12,889 --> 02:47:11,160
their procedure that'll have them arming

4021
02:47:15,230 --> 02:47:12,899
that launch Escape system that you

4022
02:47:17,510 --> 02:47:15,240
mentioned they'll be able to hear some

4023
02:47:19,250 --> 02:47:17,520
clicking of valves and follow along on

4024
02:47:21,230 --> 02:47:19,260
their display screen as once they've

4025
02:47:23,270 --> 02:47:21,240
kicked off that procedure as the the

4026
02:47:25,309 --> 02:47:23,280
vehicle kind of catches up and completes

4027
02:47:28,969 --> 02:47:25,319
that arming sequence and as you know

4028
02:47:30,710 --> 02:47:28,979
once the fueling operations begin the

4029
02:47:33,230 --> 02:47:30,720
crew has to be ready to potentially

4030
02:47:34,670 --> 02:47:33,240
launch us somewhere if there was sort of

4031
02:47:36,950 --> 02:47:34,680
some sort of a problem and so that

4032
02:47:39,110 --> 02:47:36,960
launches Eight system needs to be in

4033
02:47:42,710 --> 02:47:39,120
place and armed in preparation for that

4034
02:47:47,270 --> 02:47:45,170
that system will stay armed throughout

4035
02:47:49,670 --> 02:47:47,280
the ascent phase until the crew is

4036
02:47:51,650 --> 02:47:49,680
actually safely in orbit allowing them a

4037
02:47:53,750 --> 02:47:51,660
safe way to escape from the Falcon 9

4038
02:47:56,990 --> 02:47:53,760
rocket should there be any sort of a a

4039
02:47:58,250 --> 02:47:57,000
problem with the vehicle

4040
02:48:00,349 --> 02:47:58,260
and we're expecting to see the

4041
02:48:02,090 --> 02:48:00,359
astronauts close their visors and arm

4042
02:48:03,530 --> 02:48:02,100
the launch Escape system that you just

4043
02:48:06,410 --> 02:48:03,540
talked about Bob

4044
02:48:08,990 --> 02:48:06,420
here in a little over a minute

4045
02:48:12,290 --> 02:48:09,000
we'll get the call out

4046
02:48:16,610 --> 02:48:14,389
you'll also see them ensure that their

4047
02:48:19,190 --> 02:48:16,620
feet are in the appropriate locked in

4048
02:48:21,110 --> 02:48:19,200
position their straps are tight because

4049
02:48:23,389 --> 02:48:21,120
again should that system be required

4050
02:48:25,969 --> 02:48:23,399
they might be going for a pretty

4051
02:48:28,309 --> 02:48:25,979
significant Dynamic ride but of course

4052
02:48:30,469 --> 02:48:28,319
we don't expect that to happen today but

4053
02:48:31,969 --> 02:48:30,479
they'll have that system in place just

4054
02:48:33,770 --> 02:48:31,979
in case does the appropriate safety

4055
02:48:36,110 --> 02:48:33,780
measure now Bob that launch Escape

4056
02:48:38,090 --> 02:48:36,120
system powered by super Draco engines

4057
02:48:41,150 --> 02:48:38,100
capable of moving Dragon a half a mile

4058
02:48:43,790 --> 02:48:41,160
in just seven and a half seconds which

4059
02:48:45,590 --> 02:48:43,800
is equivalent to a peak velocity of 436

4060
02:48:47,389 --> 02:48:45,600
miles per hour I know you know this

4061
02:48:49,849 --> 02:48:47,399
system well you were very much like

4062
02:48:50,990 --> 02:48:49,859
briefed and very aware of its

4063
02:48:52,790 --> 02:48:51,000
capabilities

4064
02:48:54,830 --> 02:48:52,800
you want to be able to not only get off

4065
02:48:56,690 --> 02:48:54,840
the launch pad but also get off the

4066
02:48:59,450 --> 02:48:56,700
rocket while in flight so it's got to

4067
02:49:01,429 --> 02:48:59,460
move fast absolutely Daryl and for

4068
02:49:03,110 --> 02:49:01,439
shuttle systems you know the crew would

4069
02:49:05,570 --> 02:49:03,120
really have to do a lot of manual

4070
02:49:07,730 --> 02:49:05,580
activities to to steer the vehicle uh

4071
02:49:09,950 --> 02:49:07,740
through the uh appropriate Escape or

4072
02:49:12,230 --> 02:49:09,960
abort scenarios as we talked about them

4073
02:49:14,330 --> 02:49:12,240
in those days but this system is highly

4074
02:49:16,849 --> 02:49:14,340
automated and the crew primarily follows

4075
02:49:20,690 --> 02:49:16,859
along with its operations

4076
02:49:23,270 --> 02:49:20,700
Dragon you are gopher section 7 of 4.100

4077
02:49:34,330 --> 02:49:23,280
to close visors and arm the launch

4078
02:49:40,190 --> 02:49:36,830
SpaceX Dragon copies stepping into

4079
02:49:42,110 --> 02:49:40,200
section seven All crew advisors are

4080
02:49:45,230 --> 02:49:42,120
closed we are arming the launch Escape

4081
02:49:49,969 --> 02:49:47,389
he's all

4082
02:49:53,389 --> 02:49:49,979
it's Commander Nicole Mann reporting

4083
02:49:57,950 --> 02:49:55,610
their visors are closed

4084
02:50:03,050 --> 02:49:57,960
they are ready to arm the launch Escape

4085
02:50:06,710 --> 02:50:04,790
and you can see the crew members are

4086
02:50:08,270 --> 02:50:06,720
pulling their straps and ensuring that

4087
02:50:10,969 --> 02:50:08,280
they are they are buckled in because

4088
02:50:12,830 --> 02:50:10,979
from a crew perspective that relaxation

4089
02:50:16,370 --> 02:50:12,840
period that I talked about earlier is

4090
02:50:18,590 --> 02:50:16,380
now over yeah it's all business now I

4091
02:50:21,290 --> 02:50:18,600
want to make sure that you're in your

4092
02:50:25,190 --> 02:50:21,300
seat firm and tight

4093
02:50:28,550 --> 02:50:26,990
this is also the part of the operation

4094
02:50:30,410 --> 02:50:28,560
that starts to be a little bit different

4095
02:50:33,490 --> 02:50:30,420
than training you know you really can't

4096
02:50:40,130 --> 02:50:33,500
uh capture the

4097
02:50:44,990 --> 02:50:41,990
all right we got the verification of the

4098
02:50:46,849 --> 02:50:45,000
Armed Escape system

4099
02:50:48,590 --> 02:50:46,859
so from a training perspective the

4100
02:50:50,330 --> 02:50:48,600
sounds and and things that the crew will

4101
02:50:51,590 --> 02:50:50,340
hear during the loading operation are

4102
02:50:53,450 --> 02:50:51,600
just different than they're able to

4103
02:50:55,370 --> 02:50:53,460
capture from a training perspective and

4104
02:50:56,389 --> 02:50:55,380
so now is when it starts to again be a

4105
02:50:57,469 --> 02:50:56,399
little bit different from a crew

4106
02:50:59,870 --> 02:50:57,479
perspective

4107
02:51:01,370 --> 02:50:59,880
there's no simulating that system you

4108
02:51:03,410 --> 02:51:01,380
know there is some Acoustics that they

4109
02:51:05,090 --> 02:51:03,420
tried to capture nine tanks will

4110
02:51:08,510 --> 02:51:05,100
be venting for the start of prop load

4111
02:51:14,030 --> 02:51:10,730
that they tried to capture with the demo

4112
02:51:15,889 --> 02:51:14,040
one uh audio if you will but as you

4113
02:51:17,630 --> 02:51:15,899
heard in the the com that just came

4114
02:51:19,730 --> 02:51:17,640
through there you know do you need to

4115
02:51:21,349 --> 02:51:19,740
get reminded to expect loud venting

4116
02:51:22,730 --> 02:51:21,359
during some of the operations and these

4117
02:51:24,770 --> 02:51:22,740
are new things from a crew perspective

4118
02:51:25,849 --> 02:51:24,780
that uh you've been briefed on but now

4119
02:51:26,690 --> 02:51:25,859
you're going to hear them for the first

4120
02:51:29,389 --> 02:51:26,700
time

4121
02:51:31,429 --> 02:51:29,399
three of the four crew members inside

4122
02:51:33,170 --> 02:51:31,439
that capsule right now have never flown

4123
02:51:35,389 --> 02:51:33,180
to space before they are first time

4124
02:51:38,630 --> 02:51:35,399
Flyers

4125
02:51:40,429 --> 02:51:38,640
the loan exception koichiwakata

4126
02:51:42,710 --> 02:51:40,439
was a veteran

4127
02:51:44,690 --> 02:51:42,720
with jaxa

4128
02:51:50,210 --> 02:51:44,700
and he's getting ready to embark on his

4129
02:51:50,220 --> 02:51:56,809
and as we wait for the next mark

4130
02:52:00,950 --> 02:51:58,670
you know the crew's experience whether

4131
02:52:04,130 --> 02:52:00,960
it's a space shuttle or a soyuz or the

4132
02:52:06,170 --> 02:52:04,140
dragon vehicle or Starliner or artemisa

4133
02:52:07,849 --> 02:52:06,180
as we move towards that these

4134
02:52:10,490 --> 02:52:07,859
experiences are all slightly different

4135
02:52:12,230 --> 02:52:10,500
and so I'm excited to hear you know

4136
02:52:14,330 --> 02:52:12,240
koichi's discussion as he tries to

4137
02:52:15,950 --> 02:52:14,340
balance and describe all three of them

4138
02:52:18,410 --> 02:52:15,960
side by side when he gets back from this

4139
02:52:21,950 --> 02:52:20,450
would love to hear him talk about the

4140
02:52:24,710 --> 02:52:21,960
comparisons

4141
02:52:26,750 --> 02:52:24,720
there's only a few of a few astronauts

4142
02:52:30,110 --> 02:52:26,760
like him right that have been able to

4143
02:52:32,210 --> 02:52:30,120
fly on all three vehicles yes and and as

4144
02:52:34,190 --> 02:52:32,220
we go forward here with the Artemis

4145
02:52:36,830 --> 02:52:34,200
missions coming forward I'm excited to

4146
02:52:39,170 --> 02:52:36,840
have folks compare and contrast uh their

4147
02:52:41,750 --> 02:52:39,180
Orion experience their SLS experience

4148
02:52:45,050 --> 02:52:41,760
with a falcon 9 or our other Rockets

4149
02:52:49,550 --> 02:52:47,330
just a few seconds now and

4150
02:52:52,610 --> 02:52:49,560
we're awaiting the confirmation

4151
02:52:55,429 --> 02:52:52,620
to the beginning of loading propellant

4152
02:52:57,170 --> 02:52:55,439
into the Falcon 9 rocket

4153
02:53:07,130 --> 02:52:57,180
with a beautiful shot there as we

4154
02:53:20,210 --> 02:53:09,110
just a few more seconds until that call

4155
02:53:20,220 --> 02:53:27,590
propellant loading has started

4156
02:53:33,050 --> 02:53:30,290
And So It Begins the loading of

4157
02:53:38,630 --> 02:53:33,060
propellant aboard the Falcon 9 rocket

4158
02:53:44,450 --> 02:53:41,990
got your propellant and your oxidizer

4159
02:53:46,790 --> 02:53:44,460
which Blended together

4160
02:53:49,190 --> 02:53:46,800
make quite the combustion

4161
02:53:50,809 --> 02:53:49,200
millions of pounds of thrust to get crew

4162
02:53:52,370 --> 02:53:50,819
5 into space

4163
02:53:54,469 --> 02:53:52,380
now there are a lot of details to that

4164
02:53:56,929 --> 02:53:54,479
operation Daryl with the each of the

4165
02:53:58,969 --> 02:53:56,939
stages and as you mentioned the oxidizer

4166
02:54:00,889 --> 02:53:58,979
and the fuel both need to be loaded and

4167
02:54:03,170 --> 02:54:00,899
so the crew will follow along with that

4168
02:54:05,570 --> 02:54:03,180
carefully as the loading operation

4169
02:54:08,330 --> 02:54:05,580
commences uh if there was any reason for

4170
02:54:10,910 --> 02:54:08,340
them to need to stop that operation the

4171
02:54:13,610 --> 02:54:10,920
the crew would expect that that

4172
02:54:15,290 --> 02:54:13,620
propellant loading to kind of be backed

4173
02:54:17,090 --> 02:54:15,300
out and reversed and so they'll want to

4174
02:54:19,010 --> 02:54:17,100
understand the state of that fueling

4175
02:54:20,929 --> 02:54:19,020
operation going forward just in case

4176
02:54:22,969 --> 02:54:20,939
they had to back out of it

4177
02:54:26,150 --> 02:54:22,979
and we got a social question now from

4178
02:54:28,070 --> 02:54:26,160
add Grant b117

4179
02:54:30,110 --> 02:54:28,080
who asks how long does it take to

4180
02:54:31,790 --> 02:54:30,120
complete the fueling operations

4181
02:54:34,370 --> 02:54:31,800
you know it's a great question Daryl and

4182
02:54:36,590 --> 02:54:34,380
they started it at 35 minutes because

4183
02:54:38,389 --> 02:54:36,600
that's really a prior to liftoff because

4184
02:54:40,190 --> 02:54:38,399
that's how really how long it takes for

4185
02:54:43,309 --> 02:54:40,200
the loading operations to kind of get

4186
02:54:45,590 --> 02:54:43,319
executed the the crew goes through the

4187
02:54:47,750 --> 02:54:45,600
process the ground team of loading that

4188
02:54:50,510 --> 02:54:47,760
propellant ensuring that they get the

4189
02:54:52,550 --> 02:54:50,520
proper Commodities on board the actual

4190
02:54:55,130 --> 02:54:52,560
sequencing of things might be affected a

4191
02:54:57,410 --> 02:54:55,140
little bit by the temperature on a given

4192
02:54:59,570 --> 02:54:57,420
day but they have that that process well

4193
02:55:02,210 --> 02:54:59,580
monitored and they begin at 35 minutes

4194
02:55:04,429 --> 02:55:02,220
because that's how long it takes to to

4195
02:55:06,650 --> 02:55:04,439
get the rocket all fueled up thank you

4196
02:55:09,110 --> 02:55:06,660
for asking for answering those questions

4197
02:55:10,990 --> 02:55:09,120
and to you out there for asking the

4198
02:55:13,969 --> 02:55:11,000
questions keep them coming

4199
02:55:16,550 --> 02:55:13,979
#ask NASA on our various social

4200
02:55:18,290 --> 02:55:16,560
platforms and again now that fueling for

4201
02:55:20,330 --> 02:55:18,300
Falcon 9 has started that means the

4202
02:55:23,030 --> 02:55:20,340
eight super Draco engines inside crew

4203
02:55:25,730 --> 02:55:23,040
Dragon are ready if needed to launch the

4204
02:55:27,590 --> 02:55:25,740
capsule away from Falcon 9 in an instant

4205
02:55:29,929 --> 02:55:27,600
should there be any kind of emergency

4206
02:55:32,090 --> 02:55:29,939
associated with the rocket or the pad

4207
02:55:34,429 --> 02:55:32,100
the NASA and SpaceX teams have trained

4208
02:55:36,469 --> 02:55:34,439
extensively for exactly that type of

4209
02:55:38,690 --> 02:55:36,479
contingency

4210
02:55:40,790 --> 02:55:38,700
and so now let's go over to Kate Tice at

4211
02:55:45,110 --> 02:55:40,800
SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne for

4212
02:55:49,610 --> 02:55:47,690
thanks Daryl you can probably tell by

4213
02:55:51,110 --> 02:55:49,620
the background noise that uh things are

4214
02:55:53,389 --> 02:55:51,120
starting to get more exciting now that

4215
02:55:55,910 --> 02:55:53,399
we're just practically 30 minutes away

4216
02:55:57,889 --> 02:55:55,920
from launch of crew 5 certainly counting

4217
02:56:00,590 --> 02:55:57,899
down the final minutes everything's

4218
02:56:03,110 --> 02:56:00,600
still looking good for Falcon 9 and

4219
02:56:05,570 --> 02:56:03,120
dragon with that launch Escape system

4220
02:56:08,510 --> 02:56:05,580
now armed we are heading for an on-time

4221
02:56:11,030 --> 02:56:08,520
launch uh just 32 minutes from now as

4222
02:56:14,150 --> 02:56:11,040
you saw Falcon 9 propellant load began

4223
02:56:16,309 --> 02:56:14,160
right on time at T minus 35 minutes the

4224
02:56:18,230 --> 02:56:16,319
first and second stages of Falcon 9 are

4225
02:56:20,389 --> 02:56:18,240
each loaded with two liquid propellants

4226
02:56:22,429 --> 02:56:20,399
one is fuel which is loaded into a tank

4227
02:56:24,230 --> 02:56:22,439
at the bottom of each stage and the

4228
02:56:26,990 --> 02:56:24,240
other is an oxidizer and that's loaded

4229
02:56:28,670 --> 02:56:27,000
into a tank at the top of each stage the

4230
02:56:31,190 --> 02:56:28,680
fuel that we use to power the Merlin

4231
02:56:35,210 --> 02:56:31,200
engines is a refined kerosene referred

4232
02:56:37,429 --> 02:56:35,220
to as rp1 or rocket propellant one the

4233
02:56:39,590 --> 02:56:37,439
oxidizer loaded on each stage is a

4234
02:56:41,570 --> 02:56:39,600
densified liquid oxygen or loss

4235
02:56:43,730 --> 02:56:41,580
densified means that it's kept much

4236
02:56:46,309 --> 02:56:43,740
colder than typical for launch vehicles

4237
02:56:48,349 --> 02:56:46,319
and it takes up less volume and as such

4238
02:56:50,150 --> 02:56:48,359
this allows for more oxidizer to be

4239
02:56:53,030 --> 02:56:50,160
loaded into the first and second stages

4240
02:56:55,070 --> 02:56:53,040
now to ignite the fuel and oxidizer in

4241
02:56:57,830 --> 02:56:55,080
the Merlin rocket engine we use an

4242
02:57:00,290 --> 02:56:57,840
ignition fluid called t-tep when t-tep

4243
02:57:02,990 --> 02:57:00,300
comes into contact with oxygen it burns

4244
02:57:04,670 --> 02:57:03,000
giving off a green colored flame once we

4245
02:57:06,950 --> 02:57:04,680
have that flame going we add in the

4246
02:57:09,170 --> 02:57:06,960
kerosene fuel to the Merlin chamber and

4247
02:57:10,670 --> 02:57:09,180
the engine ramps up to full power you

4248
02:57:12,950 --> 02:57:10,680
might actually be able to see that green

4249
02:57:15,889 --> 02:57:12,960
flash just as the second stage engine

4250
02:57:17,929 --> 02:57:15,899
ignites following stage separation which

4251
02:57:20,510 --> 02:57:17,939
is expected to happen about 2 minutes

4252
02:57:22,670 --> 02:57:20,520
and 48 seconds into play

4253
02:57:25,610 --> 02:57:22,680
right now we're topping off helium into

4254
02:57:27,950 --> 02:57:25,620
pressure vessels on both stages this is

4255
02:57:29,870 --> 02:57:27,960
used to pressurize tanks in flight AS

4256
02:57:32,690 --> 02:57:29,880
propellant is pulled out of those tanks

4257
02:57:34,250 --> 02:57:32,700
by the Merlin turbo pumps now on board

4258
02:57:36,469 --> 02:57:34,260
the spacecraft the astronauts are

4259
02:57:40,429 --> 02:57:36,479
monitoring systems from their crew

4260
02:57:44,630 --> 02:57:41,870
all right there we just heard that the

4261
02:57:46,550 --> 02:57:44,640
cryo helium load has begun again that is

4262
02:57:48,590 --> 02:57:46,560
going into those uh pressure vessels

4263
02:57:51,230 --> 02:57:48,600
that I mentioned earlier now the crew

4264
02:57:53,990 --> 02:57:51,240
training simulator has included playback

4265
02:57:56,450 --> 02:57:54,000
of the sounds that uh were recorded in a

4266
02:57:58,730 --> 02:57:56,460
previous Dragon capsule during recent

4267
02:58:01,670 --> 02:57:58,740
flights so all of the pops and the

4268
02:58:03,830 --> 02:58:01,680
hisses that the vehicle puts out all the

4269
02:58:05,870 --> 02:58:03,840
crew has heard those before though not

4270
02:58:07,370 --> 02:58:05,880
live so they are prepared for all the

4271
02:58:10,130 --> 02:58:07,380
noises the extra noises that they're now

4272
02:58:12,290 --> 02:58:10,140
hearing as for the range continues to

4273
02:58:14,870 --> 02:58:12,300
report no problems they are go to

4274
02:58:16,250 --> 02:58:14,880
support launch weather also clearly

4275
02:58:18,469 --> 02:58:16,260
looking great I think we're actually

4276
02:58:21,650 --> 02:58:18,479
seeing even fewer clouds than we were

4277
02:58:24,110 --> 02:58:21,660
about 20 minutes ago we had a less than

4278
02:58:26,269 --> 02:58:24,120
10 percent chance or probability of

4279
02:58:28,969 --> 02:58:26,279
violation of our weather constraints

4280
02:58:32,389 --> 02:58:28,979
also known as a POV so that's really

4281
02:58:34,370 --> 02:58:32,399
good that is for the launch site

4282
02:58:36,530 --> 02:58:34,380
conditions we are also tracking down

4283
02:58:39,170 --> 02:58:36,540
range weather conditions as well as

4284
02:58:42,290 --> 02:58:39,180
launch sites around the world in the

4285
02:58:44,330 --> 02:58:42,300
unlikely event that dragon to escape now

4286
02:58:45,950 --> 02:58:44,340
as a reminder today we have an

4287
02:58:47,090 --> 02:58:45,960
instantaneous launch time because we're

4288
02:58:49,670 --> 02:58:47,100
heading to the International Space

4289
02:58:52,010 --> 02:58:49,680
Station so at this point in time if we

4290
02:58:53,809 --> 02:58:52,020
hear a hold for any reason we will have

4291
02:58:55,670 --> 02:58:53,819
to stand down and Target our backup

4292
02:58:58,730 --> 02:58:55,680
launch opportunity which is tomorrow

4293
02:59:01,309 --> 02:58:58,740
just under 24 hours from today's planned

4294
02:59:03,410 --> 02:59:01,319
launch at this point in time at just

4295
02:59:05,330 --> 02:59:03,420
under T minus 30 minutes till launch

4296
02:59:07,490 --> 02:59:05,340
let's turn it back over to Jesse and

4297
02:59:10,670 --> 02:59:07,500
Sandra for an overview of what's to come

4298
02:59:14,990 --> 02:59:12,950
great thanks Kate always great to hear

4299
02:59:18,050 --> 02:59:15,000
that we've got good weather and it looks

4300
02:59:19,849 --> 02:59:18,060
beautiful over there at KSC for crew 5

4301
02:59:22,250 --> 02:59:19,859
the astronauts flight to station will

4302
02:59:26,210 --> 02:59:22,260
take about 29 hours

4303
02:59:28,309 --> 02:59:26,220
and as we await t0 in just about 28

4304
02:59:31,429 --> 02:59:28,319
minutes from now the ground operations

4305
02:59:33,830 --> 02:59:31,439
team is doing a series of system checks

4306
02:59:36,230 --> 02:59:33,840
to make sure both dragon and Falcon 9

4307
02:59:38,929 --> 02:59:36,240
are ready for launch you're looking at a

4308
02:59:41,210 --> 02:59:38,939
live view of our teams at the cape as

4309
02:59:43,309 --> 02:59:41,220
they prepare for liftoff and as we wait

4310
02:59:45,170 --> 02:59:43,319
for the launch clock to hit zero we want

4311
02:59:46,969 --> 02:59:45,180
to give you an overview of what the

4312
02:59:47,809 --> 02:59:46,979
ascent portion of the mission will look

4313
02:59:50,630 --> 02:59:47,819
like

4314
02:59:53,269 --> 02:59:50,640
now once we hit t0 and a successful

4315
02:59:55,790 --> 02:59:53,279
launch occurs we will watch Falcon 9 and

4316
02:59:58,190 --> 02:59:55,800
dragon lift off from historic launch pad

4317
03:00:01,010 --> 02:59:58,200
39a and make their ascent

4318
03:00:03,650 --> 03:00:01,020
about 50 seconds into flight Falcons

4319
03:00:05,570 --> 03:00:03,660
nine engines will Throttle Down to half

4320
03:00:07,969 --> 03:00:05,580
to help pass through the period of a

4321
03:00:10,969 --> 03:00:07,979
maximum Dynamic pressure on the rocket

4322
03:00:13,490 --> 03:00:10,979
or what we typically refer to as Max Q

4323
03:00:15,650 --> 03:00:13,500
at this point in time the vehicle will

4324
03:00:17,330 --> 03:00:15,660
be going supersonic

4325
03:00:19,130 --> 03:00:17,340
once we're through the period of Maximum

4326
03:00:23,150 --> 03:00:19,140
Dynamic pressure we can throttle up our

4327
03:00:27,830 --> 03:00:25,010
a series of three events that will

4328
03:00:30,950 --> 03:00:27,840
happen in Rapid succession the first is

4329
03:00:33,830 --> 03:00:30,960
Mikko or main engine cutoff and this is

4330
03:00:36,349 --> 03:00:33,840
where all nine Merlin 1D engines shut

4331
03:00:39,410 --> 03:00:36,359
off in preparation for stage separation

4332
03:00:41,809 --> 03:00:39,420
which is of course our second event this

4333
03:00:43,849 --> 03:00:41,819
is where the first stage detaches from

4334
03:00:45,590 --> 03:00:43,859
the second stage and the first stage

4335
03:00:47,929 --> 03:00:45,600
will make its way back to Earth for

4336
03:00:49,790 --> 03:00:47,939
landing while the second stage continues

4337
03:00:53,450 --> 03:00:49,800
on its Journey with the third event

4338
03:00:55,849 --> 03:00:53,460
which is ses1 or second stage engine

4339
03:00:58,670 --> 03:00:55,859
start number one and this is where the

4340
03:01:00,590 --> 03:00:58,680
mvac engine lights up and propels the

4341
03:01:02,450 --> 03:01:00,600
second stage along with our crew 5

4342
03:01:04,910 --> 03:01:02,460
astronauts to orbit

4343
03:01:06,950 --> 03:01:04,920
as stage two head towards its targeted

4344
03:01:09,110 --> 03:01:06,960
drop-off orbit stage one will execute

4345
03:01:11,510 --> 03:01:09,120
two Burns in order to make its way back

4346
03:01:13,370 --> 03:01:11,520
down to earth the first is the entry

4347
03:01:15,290 --> 03:01:13,380
burn and that's where three of the nine

4348
03:01:17,090 --> 03:01:15,300
and windy engines will reignite and shut

4349
03:01:18,830 --> 03:01:17,100
down and this helps to slow the stage

4350
03:01:20,450 --> 03:01:18,840
down in preparation for entry back into

4351
03:01:22,610 --> 03:01:20,460
the Earth's atmosphere

4352
03:01:25,070 --> 03:01:22,620
while the first stage is heading back to

4353
03:01:27,170 --> 03:01:25,080
Earth the second stage will cut off its

4354
03:01:29,570 --> 03:01:27,180
one Merlin engine that was ignited right

4355
03:01:31,790 --> 03:01:29,580
after stage separation once this happens

4356
03:01:34,730 --> 03:01:31,800
we will wait for confirmation of a good

4357
03:01:37,550 --> 03:01:34,740
orbital insertion about 90 seconds after

4358
03:01:39,830 --> 03:01:37,560
Dragon gets into orbit Falcon 9 will

4359
03:01:41,450 --> 03:01:39,840
land back on Earth The Landing burn is

4360
03:01:43,250 --> 03:01:41,460
just a single engine burn powerful

4361
03:01:45,410 --> 03:01:43,260
enough to bring the vehicle's speed down

4362
03:01:46,849 --> 03:01:45,420
rapidly in order to touchdown on the

4363
03:01:48,469 --> 03:01:46,859
Drone ship at about nine and a half

4364
03:01:51,050 --> 03:01:48,479
minutes into the mission

4365
03:01:53,330 --> 03:01:51,060
while Falcon 9's first Sage is landing

4366
03:01:55,490 --> 03:01:53,340
dragon is preparing to separate from the

4367
03:01:57,650 --> 03:01:55,500
second stage about three minutes after

4368
03:01:59,750 --> 03:01:57,660
the second stage gets into orbit we

4369
03:02:02,450 --> 03:01:59,760
should have a great view of dragon with

4370
03:02:05,150 --> 03:02:02,460
its four-person crew drifting away from

4371
03:02:07,250 --> 03:02:05,160
the second stage once dragon is a short

4372
03:02:10,070 --> 03:02:07,260
distance away it will begin checking out

4373
03:02:12,050 --> 03:02:10,080
its Draco maneuvering thrusters to make

4374
03:02:14,150 --> 03:02:12,060
sure Dragon continues to increase

4375
03:02:16,790 --> 03:02:14,160
separation distance from the second

4376
03:02:18,769 --> 03:02:16,800
stage and it is worth noting that these

4377
03:02:21,590 --> 03:02:18,779
are not the Super Draco engines that

4378
03:02:23,809 --> 03:02:21,600
would be used during an abort scenario

4379
03:02:25,910 --> 03:02:23,819
about 40 seconds after separation

4380
03:02:28,010 --> 03:02:25,920
dragon's nosecon deploy sequence will

4381
03:02:29,929 --> 03:02:28,020
begin it will take roughly four minutes

4382
03:02:31,969 --> 03:02:29,939
for the nose Cone Heads to unlatch and

4383
03:02:33,530 --> 03:02:31,979
open exposing its guidance navigation

4384
03:02:36,769 --> 03:02:33,540
controls that will help dragon

4385
03:02:39,230 --> 03:02:36,779
autonomously fly to the space station

4386
03:02:41,570 --> 03:02:39,240
and lastly once the nose cone is

4387
03:02:44,030 --> 03:02:41,580
deployed the remaining Draco thrusters

4388
03:02:46,490 --> 03:02:44,040
on the forward bulkhead will be checked

4389
03:02:49,670 --> 03:02:46,500
from there over the next cryo helium

4390
03:02:54,830 --> 03:02:52,790
from there over the next 29 hours Dragon

4391
03:02:57,349 --> 03:02:54,840
will be in its Rendezvous and approach

4392
03:02:59,150 --> 03:02:57,359
phases undergoing a number of phasing

4393
03:03:01,490 --> 03:02:59,160
Burns as it makes its way back to

4394
03:03:03,889 --> 03:03:01,500
station all that will be coming up soon

4395
03:03:05,630 --> 03:03:03,899
but for now let's check back in with

4396
03:03:09,889 --> 03:03:05,640
Shaniqua in Mission Control Houston

4397
03:03:13,790 --> 03:03:12,050
thanks Sandra the flight control is here

4398
03:03:16,010 --> 03:03:13,800
and Mission Control Houston are laser

4399
03:03:17,809 --> 03:03:16,020
focused on the onboard systems of the

4400
03:03:20,630 --> 03:03:17,819
space station making sure it is ready to

4401
03:03:22,429 --> 03:03:20,640
receive Dragon vehicle tomorrow they're

4402
03:03:24,290 --> 03:03:22,439
also making sure communication links

4403
03:03:26,150 --> 03:03:24,300
between the station dragon and the

4404
03:03:28,010 --> 03:03:26,160
ground are working properly the

4405
03:03:30,230 --> 03:03:28,020
consensus right now is that everything

4406
03:03:31,969 --> 03:03:30,240
is proceeding nominally teams here in

4407
03:03:33,950 --> 03:03:31,979
Mission Control Houston the teams in

4408
03:03:35,870 --> 03:03:33,960
Hawthorne and the astronauts aboard the

4409
03:03:37,190 --> 03:03:35,880
space station will monitor the

4410
03:03:39,590 --> 03:03:37,200
autonomous docking of the Dragon

4411
03:03:41,389 --> 03:03:39,600
spacecraft tomorrow evening they'll

4412
03:03:43,490 --> 03:03:41,399
perform a series of leaked chicks then

4413
03:03:45,349 --> 03:03:43,500
work to open the hatches both on the

4414
03:03:47,870 --> 03:03:45,359
dragon side and inside the Space

4415
03:03:49,610 --> 03:03:47,880
Station's pressurized mating adapter we

4416
03:03:52,130 --> 03:03:49,620
expect hatch opening to take a place

4417
03:03:54,290 --> 03:03:52,140
around an hour and a half after docking

4418
03:03:56,090 --> 03:03:54,300
and once aboard the astronauts will be

4419
03:03:58,309 --> 03:03:56,100
greeted by station Commander Samantha

4420
03:04:01,190 --> 03:03:58,319
Christopher ready and then the whole

4421
03:04:04,309 --> 03:04:01,200
station will station crew will join in

4422
03:04:06,710 --> 03:04:04,319
from for welcoming remarks to the new

4423
03:04:08,990 --> 03:04:06,720
crew members now due to critical science

4424
03:04:13,670 --> 03:04:09,000
this welcoming remarks will be about 90

4425
03:04:17,450 --> 03:04:15,830
once on board the crew members will no

4426
03:04:19,490 --> 03:04:17,460
longer be referred to as crew 5 but

4427
03:04:21,349 --> 03:04:19,500
rather as flight Engineers of the

4428
03:04:23,389 --> 03:04:21,359
International Space Station

4429
03:04:26,030 --> 03:04:23,399
here in mission control flight director

4430
03:04:28,370 --> 03:04:26,040
Greg Whitney is on Console overseeing

4431
03:04:30,889 --> 03:04:28,380
the team for launch and he will be back

4432
03:04:32,809 --> 03:04:30,899
tomorrow for docking we'll be on air

4433
03:04:35,330 --> 03:04:32,819
continuously through crew 5's arrival

4434
03:04:37,910 --> 03:04:35,340
but live coverage of docking is expected

4435
03:04:40,490 --> 03:04:37,920
tomorrow around 4 57 PM eastern time

4436
03:04:42,349 --> 03:04:40,500
that's it from now from Mission Control

4437
03:04:44,870 --> 03:04:42,359
Houston I'll toss it back to the team in

4438
03:04:46,730 --> 03:04:44,880
Florida Daryl how's it looking well it's

4439
03:04:49,370 --> 03:04:46,740
wonderful out here Shaniqua wish you

4440
03:04:50,870 --> 03:04:49,380
could be here we got picnic weather out

4441
03:04:54,170 --> 03:04:50,880
here at the Press site and launch

4442
03:04:56,750 --> 03:04:54,180
complex 39 where we are looking out for

4443
03:04:59,450 --> 03:04:56,760
the launch of crew 5 from historic

4444
03:05:01,309 --> 03:04:59,460
launch complex 39a a beautiful sweeping

4445
03:05:04,130 --> 03:05:01,319
shot of the lawn where we have our

4446
03:05:06,110 --> 03:05:04,140
special guests the media are here we've

4447
03:05:08,990 --> 03:05:06,120
got NASA social folks who are out on the

4448
03:05:11,389 --> 03:05:09,000
lawn and of course me and Bob

4449
03:05:13,190 --> 03:05:11,399
Bob's riding shotgun here as we take our

4450
03:05:16,490 --> 03:05:13,200
coverage to the next level at the final

4451
03:05:18,469 --> 03:05:16,500
23 minutes of liftoff now from the

4452
03:05:20,389 --> 03:05:18,479
countdown rather uh we are just seconds

4453
03:05:21,710 --> 03:05:20,399
away from the fifth astronaut rotation

4454
03:05:23,750 --> 03:05:21,720
mission to the International Space

4455
03:05:26,510 --> 03:05:23,760
Station under NASA's commercial crew

4456
03:05:28,330 --> 03:05:26,520
program Commander Nicole Mann pilot Josh

4457
03:05:30,950 --> 03:05:28,340
cassida and Mission specialist

4458
03:05:33,170 --> 03:05:30,960
koichiwakata and Anna kikuna are

4459
03:05:34,910 --> 03:05:33,180
strapped into their seats inside the

4460
03:05:38,150 --> 03:05:34,920
dragon endurance at the very top of this

4461
03:05:39,710 --> 03:05:38,160
rocket here we can uh we are listening

4462
03:05:43,309 --> 03:05:39,720
into the communications as they talk

4463
03:05:46,490 --> 03:05:43,319
live to the Falcon 9 team the rocket is

4464
03:05:49,190 --> 03:05:46,500
fueling the operation is doing well

4465
03:05:50,809 --> 03:05:49,200
and the launch Escape system is armed of

4466
03:05:52,670 --> 03:05:50,819
course that means dragon is prepared to

4467
03:05:55,250 --> 03:05:52,680
launch itself away from the Falcon 9

4468
03:05:57,290 --> 03:05:55,260
rocket in case of an emergency on the

4469
03:05:59,750 --> 03:05:57,300
pad or after liftoff

4470
03:06:02,389 --> 03:05:59,760
so far operations looking and sounding

4471
03:06:07,370 --> 03:06:02,399
as expected and we are counting down to

4472
03:06:11,269 --> 03:06:07,380
our liftoff at just afternoon 12 p.m and

4473
03:06:13,250 --> 03:06:11,279
57 seconds after the hour eastern time

4474
03:06:15,889 --> 03:06:13,260
there was a one second adjustment that's

4475
03:06:19,190 --> 03:06:15,899
pretty typical as happens when we get to

4476
03:06:21,110 --> 03:06:19,200
this stage of the mission

4477
03:06:22,910 --> 03:06:21,120
the mission is the continuation of

4478
03:06:25,130 --> 03:06:22,920
rotational crew flights to the

4479
03:06:27,349 --> 03:06:25,140
International Space Station from U.S

4480
03:06:29,269 --> 03:06:27,359
soil on private rockets and spacecraft

4481
03:06:31,849 --> 03:06:29,279
of course this would not have been

4482
03:06:35,150 --> 03:06:31,859
possible without the success of the NASA

4483
03:06:36,530 --> 03:06:35,160
SpaceX demo 2 test flight now two years

4484
03:06:38,150 --> 03:06:36,540
ago

4485
03:06:41,210 --> 03:06:38,160
and of course the safe delivery and

4486
03:06:43,849 --> 03:06:41,220
return of cruise one two

4487
03:06:45,830 --> 03:06:43,859
three and eventually here in about a

4488
03:06:49,010 --> 03:06:45,840
week crew four of course we're happy to

4489
03:06:50,809 --> 03:06:49,020
have the pilot from uh demo 2 and that's

4490
03:06:53,150 --> 03:06:50,819
Bob binkin appreciate you being here be

4491
03:06:54,410 --> 03:06:53,160
giving us some great thoughts and

4492
03:06:56,150 --> 03:06:54,420
explanations about everything that's

4493
03:06:58,309 --> 03:06:56,160
been happening well thank you Daryl I'm

4494
03:07:00,110 --> 03:06:58,319
super excited to be here for crew 5 and

4495
03:07:02,570 --> 03:07:00,120
get a chance to relive my experience

4496
03:07:04,130 --> 03:07:02,580
during the demo 2 mission and it's been

4497
03:07:06,469 --> 03:07:04,140
a great one so far we've watched the

4498
03:07:08,210 --> 03:07:06,479
crew get into the capsule we've watched

4499
03:07:09,830 --> 03:07:08,220
uh they've worked through a couple of

4500
03:07:13,370 --> 03:07:09,840
issues early on but those have been

4501
03:07:15,650 --> 03:07:13,380
cleared a suit leak check and a hatch

4502
03:07:18,170 --> 03:07:15,660
leak check that had to be double checked

4503
03:07:20,809 --> 03:07:18,180
now we're rolling along and moving

4504
03:07:26,150 --> 03:07:20,819
towards liftoff a couple things that are

4505
03:07:29,990 --> 03:07:28,429
we're going to have stage 2 rp1 load

4506
03:07:32,929 --> 03:07:30,000
complete

4507
03:07:34,790 --> 03:07:32,939
that's in 20 seconds

4508
03:07:36,769 --> 03:07:34,800
a few seconds later we'll get strong

4509
03:07:38,630 --> 03:07:36,779
back chill

4510
03:07:41,269 --> 03:07:38,640
that will begin in order to set the

4511
03:07:41,279 --> 03:07:59,030
for the stage 2 liquid oxygen load

4512
03:07:59,040 --> 03:08:02,690
of course propellants load

4513
03:08:06,830 --> 03:08:04,969
is not an exact science

4514
03:08:08,870 --> 03:08:06,840
but once it completes we'll hear that

4515
03:08:14,030 --> 03:08:08,880
call out

4516
03:08:18,469 --> 03:08:16,250
and there you heard it

4517
03:08:20,690 --> 03:08:18,479
let's talk a little bit about the crew

4518
03:08:22,429 --> 03:08:20,700
if you're just joining us we have a

4519
03:08:24,230 --> 03:08:22,439
four-person crew

4520
03:08:27,050 --> 03:08:24,240
that we call crew five and it's

4521
03:08:28,309 --> 03:08:27,060
commanded by Nicole Mann she owns a

4522
03:08:30,230 --> 03:08:28,319
master of science in mechanical

4523
03:08:33,290 --> 03:08:30,240
engineering and is a colonel in the

4524
03:08:35,510 --> 03:08:33,300
Marine Corps she was an fa-18 Hornet and

4525
03:08:37,190 --> 03:08:35,520
Super Hornet test pilot and deployed

4526
03:08:39,950 --> 03:08:37,200
twice aboard aircraft carriers in

4527
03:08:42,590 --> 03:08:39,960
support of combat operations in Iraq and

4528
03:08:44,990 --> 03:08:42,600
Afghanistan Nicole was selected by NASA

4529
03:08:47,330 --> 03:08:45,000
in June of 2013 and in the years that

4530
03:08:49,910 --> 03:08:47,340
followed led the astronaut Corps in the

4531
03:08:52,250 --> 03:08:49,920
development of hardware for our Artemis

4532
03:08:54,290 --> 03:08:52,260
program today the crucified Commander

4533
03:08:57,710 --> 03:08:54,300
will be flying into space for the first

4534
03:09:00,050 --> 03:08:57,720
time and once she reaches space she will

4535
03:09:02,510 --> 03:09:00,060
be the first Native American woman to

4536
03:09:04,790 --> 03:09:02,520
stay on station a historic verse for

4537
03:09:07,250 --> 03:09:04,800
NASA and for her absolutely Daryl the

4538
03:09:09,530 --> 03:09:07,260
astronaut core is a widely diverse and

4539
03:09:10,849 --> 03:09:09,540
I'm just proud to see Nicole join that

4540
03:09:11,690 --> 03:09:10,859
crew onboard the International Space

4541
03:09:14,030 --> 03:09:11,700
Station

4542
03:09:16,429 --> 03:09:14,040
with her is pilot Josh Cassidy he grew

4543
03:09:19,790 --> 03:09:16,439
up in Bear Lake Minnesota the physicist

4544
03:09:21,230 --> 03:09:19,800
and U.S Navy test pilot flew the p3c and

4545
03:09:24,710 --> 03:09:21,240
the p8a

4546
03:09:26,570 --> 03:09:24,720
as well as 23 combat missions he later

4547
03:09:28,730 --> 03:09:26,580
became an instructor at the U.S naval

4548
03:09:31,610 --> 03:09:28,740
test pilot school which is a path to

4549
03:09:33,710 --> 03:09:31,620
NASA for Military Officers cassida is

4550
03:09:35,570 --> 03:09:33,720
one of more than a hundred graduates who

4551
03:09:37,670 --> 03:09:35,580
have become astronauts going all the way

4552
03:09:39,469 --> 03:09:37,680
back to the Mercury program more

4553
03:09:41,510 --> 03:09:39,479
recently he served as capsule

4554
03:09:44,690 --> 03:09:41,520
communicator and Mission Control but

4555
03:09:46,550 --> 03:09:44,700
today he is the pilot aboard Dragon it's

4556
03:09:48,290 --> 03:09:46,560
a seed I know well and I look forward to

4557
03:09:49,670 --> 03:09:48,300
seeing Josh support Nicole and the rest

4558
03:09:51,650 --> 03:09:49,680
of the crew on their way towards the

4559
03:09:55,370 --> 03:09:51,660
International Space Station

4560
03:09:58,010 --> 03:09:55,380
the mission specialist now koichiwakata

4561
03:09:59,750 --> 03:09:58,020
he's the veteran a Japanese astronaut

4562
03:10:01,010 --> 03:09:59,760
who has a doctorate in aerospace

4563
03:10:03,469 --> 03:10:01,020
engineering

4564
03:10:05,570 --> 03:10:03,479
in 1996 he became the first Japanese

4565
03:10:09,170 --> 03:10:05,580
Mission specialist aboard the Space

4566
03:10:11,630 --> 03:10:09,180
Shuttle Endeavor for sts-72 altogether

4567
03:10:14,510 --> 03:10:11,640
koichi flew four space shuttle missions

4568
03:10:16,070 --> 03:10:14,520
a Ross Cosmos soyuz and was on a long

4569
03:10:18,650 --> 03:10:16,080
duration stay aboard the International

4570
03:10:21,110 --> 03:10:18,660
Space Station during his two-decade

4571
03:10:23,450 --> 03:10:21,120
career as an astronaut koichi has spent

4572
03:10:25,429 --> 03:10:23,460
11 months in space

4573
03:10:26,990 --> 03:10:25,439
Bob you spent a fair amount of time in

4574
03:10:28,849 --> 03:10:27,000
space yourself

4575
03:10:31,429 --> 03:10:28,859
it's great to have a veteran aboard it

4576
03:10:33,170 --> 03:10:31,439
absolutely is and in addition to being a

4577
03:10:35,809 --> 03:10:33,180
veteran koichi just has a wonderful

4578
03:10:37,550 --> 03:10:35,819
personality that I know is just a it's

4579
03:10:40,550 --> 03:10:37,560
key to kind of success on board the

4580
03:10:45,290 --> 03:10:42,590
our second mission specialist is Ross

4581
03:10:47,389 --> 03:10:45,300
Cosmos Cosmonaut on akikuna she

4582
03:10:50,690 --> 03:10:47,399
graduated from the Nova sabirsk State

4583
03:10:53,150 --> 03:10:50,700
Academy of water transport in 2006. in

4584
03:10:56,090 --> 03:10:53,160
2012 Anna officially became a candidate

4585
03:10:58,790 --> 03:10:56,100
for the position of test cosmonaut crew

4586
03:11:01,490 --> 03:10:58,800
5 will be Anna's first flight into space

4587
03:11:02,990 --> 03:11:01,500
along with two of her other fellow

4588
03:11:05,090 --> 03:11:03,000
astronauts

4589
03:11:08,269 --> 03:11:05,100
now each of these four crew members will

4590
03:11:10,070 --> 03:11:08,279
be part of expedition 68 once they

4591
03:11:12,110 --> 03:11:10,080
arrive at the International Space

4592
03:11:15,050 --> 03:11:12,120
Station and there you see them there

4593
03:11:19,309 --> 03:11:15,060
inside crew Dragon endurance a second

4594
03:11:21,650 --> 03:11:20,630
I want to let you know if you're here

4595
03:11:24,110 --> 03:11:21,660
locally

4596
03:11:26,750 --> 03:11:24,120
you want to step outside and enjoy the

4597
03:11:30,550 --> 03:11:26,760
launch get a small radio you can pick us

4598
03:11:34,010 --> 03:11:30,560
up on VHF radio frequency

4599
03:11:37,990 --> 03:11:34,020
146.940 on the megahertz scale

4600
03:11:41,690 --> 03:11:38,000
and on UHF radio frequency

4601
03:11:43,730 --> 03:11:41,700
444.925 megahertz FM bone you can hear

4602
03:11:49,849 --> 03:11:43,740
that all within Brevard County

4603
03:11:54,710 --> 03:11:52,130
and you can see the stage 2 locks load

4604
03:11:58,790 --> 03:11:56,450
just got the call out that the stage 2

4605
03:12:00,950 --> 03:11:58,800
locks load has started

4606
03:12:08,809 --> 03:12:00,960
putting that liquid propellant

4607
03:12:15,349 --> 03:12:10,670
let's check back in with Kate Tice and

4608
03:12:20,269 --> 03:12:18,710
thanks Daryl we are T-minus 16 minutes

4609
03:12:23,330 --> 03:12:20,279
away from launch and everything

4610
03:12:26,450 --> 03:12:23,340
continues to look great for Falcon 9 and

4611
03:12:28,550 --> 03:12:26,460
dragon uh Falcon 9 began prop load at T

4612
03:12:31,790 --> 03:12:28,560
minus 35 minutes

4613
03:12:35,150 --> 03:12:31,800
um the loading of rp1 fuel on the second

4614
03:12:37,370 --> 03:12:35,160
stage is complete uh that finished at T

4615
03:12:41,030 --> 03:12:37,380
minus 20 minutes fuel loading continues

4616
03:12:42,230 --> 03:12:41,040
on the first stage it is almost complete

4617
03:12:44,330 --> 03:12:42,240
that should be wrapping up here

4618
03:12:45,710 --> 03:12:44,340
momentarily

4619
03:12:48,230 --> 03:12:45,720
um

4620
03:12:50,330 --> 03:12:48,240
densified liquid oxygen loading is

4621
03:12:55,490 --> 03:12:50,340
underway on both the first and second

4622
03:13:01,910 --> 03:12:59,150
about 80 percent on the first stage and

4623
03:13:04,190 --> 03:13:01,920
has only just recently begun on the

4624
03:13:06,590 --> 03:13:04,200
second stage so not much there yet that

4625
03:13:08,389 --> 03:13:06,600
will that will wrap up at T minus three

4626
03:13:11,389 --> 03:13:08,399
minutes and T minus two minutes

4627
03:13:14,389 --> 03:13:11,399
respectively now as for checkouts of

4628
03:13:17,750 --> 03:13:14,399
thrust Vector controllers uh what we

4629
03:13:20,090 --> 03:13:17,760
call TVC Wiggles those are coming up we

4630
03:13:22,370 --> 03:13:20,100
basically check to make sure that the

4631
03:13:25,610 --> 03:13:22,380
thrust Vector controllers are able to

4632
03:13:27,650 --> 03:13:25,620
actuate the engines themselves they

4633
03:13:30,650 --> 03:13:27,660
that's what that's what helps create

4634
03:13:32,450 --> 03:13:30,660
gimbal for those engines and gimbal

4635
03:13:35,510 --> 03:13:32,460
images actually how Falcon 9 steers

4636
03:13:38,809 --> 03:13:35,520
itself so those are coming up along with

4637
03:13:40,969 --> 03:13:38,819
throttle valve checkouts on engines the

4638
03:13:42,950 --> 03:13:40,979
dragon mission director and team are

4639
03:13:44,570 --> 03:13:42,960
currently reporting no issues so really

4640
03:13:46,730 --> 03:13:44,580
good on that front communication

4641
03:13:49,370 --> 03:13:46,740
checkouts are complete the crew access

4642
03:13:51,950 --> 03:13:49,380
arm is retracted as we can see there and

4643
03:13:53,870 --> 03:13:51,960
the crew is strapped in and ready to go

4644
03:13:55,849 --> 03:13:53,880
as you can see there on the right hand

4645
03:13:58,130 --> 03:13:55,859
side of your screen everybody can

4646
03:14:00,710 --> 03:13:58,140
monitor pop load there on their crew

4647
03:14:03,410 --> 03:14:00,720
monitors now final instructions to the

4648
03:14:04,790 --> 03:14:03,420
crew come at T minus 10 minutes at that

4649
03:14:06,530 --> 03:14:04,800
point their crew displays will be

4650
03:14:08,750 --> 03:14:06,540
configured for launch this setup gives

4651
03:14:11,210 --> 03:14:08,760
the crew insight into how the launch is

4652
03:14:13,910 --> 03:14:11,220
proceeding and provides constant updates

4653
03:14:15,830 --> 03:14:13,920
on Vehicle Health at T minus five

4654
03:14:17,929 --> 03:14:15,840
minutes we'll hear the call out that

4655
03:14:20,389 --> 03:14:17,939
will be in terminal count and at that

4656
03:14:23,150 --> 03:14:20,399
point Dragon will transition to internal

4657
03:14:25,610 --> 03:14:23,160
power we'll hear continued call outs on

4658
03:14:28,790 --> 03:14:25,620
the countdown Nets as we get closer to

4659
03:14:31,190 --> 03:14:28,800
liftoff as for range they continue to be

4660
03:14:34,190 --> 03:14:31,200
go continuing to monitor the launch

4661
03:14:36,050 --> 03:14:34,200
Corridor and everything remains green as

4662
03:14:39,170 --> 03:14:36,060
for weather we're looking at seven mile

4663
03:14:41,570 --> 03:14:39,180
per hour winds at the launch site and as

4664
03:14:43,550 --> 03:14:41,580
I said before as the countdown continues

4665
03:14:45,889 --> 03:14:43,560
we are seeing fewer and fewer clouds

4666
03:14:48,050 --> 03:14:45,899
just an absolutely stunning day there at

4667
03:14:50,150 --> 03:14:48,060
Kennedy Space Center let's check back in

4668
03:14:51,889 --> 03:14:50,160
with Daryl to see the last couple

4669
03:14:53,870 --> 03:14:51,899
minutes prior to liftoff

4670
03:14:55,790 --> 03:14:53,880
thanks Kate and it really couldn't be

4671
03:14:57,950 --> 03:14:55,800
more perfect out here weather-wise for a

4672
03:14:59,690 --> 03:14:57,960
launch how about that Bob it just looks

4673
03:15:02,389 --> 03:14:59,700
uh absolutely stunning to look out and

4674
03:15:04,130 --> 03:15:02,399
see the the vehicle ready to go the crew

4675
03:15:05,510 --> 03:15:04,140
on board strapped in I'm just super

4676
03:15:07,130 --> 03:15:05,520
excited for them

4677
03:15:09,590 --> 03:15:07,140
there's a view of the countdown clock

4678
03:15:11,389 --> 03:15:09,600
and the historic American flag that has

4679
03:15:14,030 --> 03:15:11,399
been standing there

4680
03:15:16,190 --> 03:15:14,040
since the space shuttle program now

4681
03:15:18,950 --> 03:15:16,200
you're looking at a pic of uh crew five

4682
03:15:20,870 --> 03:15:18,960
crew 5 Flying aboard the Dragon capsule

4683
03:15:22,969 --> 03:15:20,880
endurance and the booster that you see

4684
03:15:24,530 --> 03:15:22,979
behind them that they're posing with is

4685
03:15:26,870 --> 03:15:24,540
a brand new one

4686
03:15:29,210 --> 03:15:26,880
actually was damaged in transit from

4687
03:15:31,610 --> 03:15:29,220
California to Texas but it was fixed

4688
03:15:34,550 --> 03:15:31,620
repaired crew did a great job the SpaceX

4689
03:15:37,250 --> 03:15:34,560
team and getting it all ready

4690
03:15:40,190 --> 03:15:37,260
and at the time that Falcon 9 launches

4691
03:15:41,870 --> 03:15:40,200
Dragon to space

4692
03:15:47,330 --> 03:15:41,880
the International Space Station will be

4693
03:15:50,330 --> 03:15:47,340
260 statute miles over Australia

4694
03:15:52,250 --> 03:15:50,340
crew 5 will then spend the next 21 hours

4695
03:15:54,349 --> 03:15:52,260
with Mission Control team that you see

4696
03:15:56,389 --> 03:15:54,359
there in Houston standing by getting

4697
03:15:59,090 --> 03:15:56,399
ready

4698
03:16:01,790 --> 03:15:59,100
for the beginning of this mission

4699
03:16:03,650 --> 03:16:01,800
they'll spend 21 or 29 hours rather

4700
03:16:06,889 --> 03:16:03,660
chasing down the International Space

4701
03:16:09,410 --> 03:16:06,899
Station for a rendezvous at 4 57 PM

4702
03:16:11,870 --> 03:16:09,420
eastern time tomorrow evening one of the

4703
03:16:14,450 --> 03:16:11,880
longer transits Bob it's true it's a

4704
03:16:16,550 --> 03:16:14,460
little bit longer than usual or average

4705
03:16:18,590 --> 03:16:16,560
I would say as we work towards crew 5

4706
03:16:19,910 --> 03:16:18,600
but as the launch date shift around that

4707
03:16:21,889 --> 03:16:19,920
changes the time that you can actually

4708
03:16:23,990 --> 03:16:21,899
arrive on Space Station they've got

4709
03:16:26,570 --> 03:16:24,000
plenty of consumables so it should be

4710
03:16:28,250 --> 03:16:26,580
fun to have some time and space

4711
03:16:31,130 --> 03:16:28,260
and when they arrive tomorrow evening

4712
03:16:33,710 --> 03:16:31,140
we'll have live coverage on NASA TV of

4713
03:16:38,269 --> 03:16:33,720
docking as well as the crew 5 welcome

4714
03:16:42,170 --> 03:16:38,279
ceremony at 8 15 PM Eastern Time 7 15

4715
03:16:46,510 --> 03:16:44,150
and some final thoughts Bob as we get

4716
03:16:49,370 --> 03:16:46,520
ready to watch crew 5 launch into space

4717
03:16:51,530 --> 03:16:49,380
you know I my opportunity to sit here

4718
03:16:53,450 --> 03:16:51,540
and watch crew 5 go has just been uh

4719
03:16:54,889 --> 03:16:53,460
inspiring again to see another vehicle

4720
03:16:57,530 --> 03:16:54,899
head towards the International Space

4721
03:17:00,650 --> 03:16:57,540
Station again I'm excited for them and

4722
03:17:02,990 --> 03:17:00,660
uh just hopeful that Nicole joshuichi

4723
03:17:04,190 --> 03:17:03,000
and Anna have just a wonderful Mission I

4724
03:17:06,110 --> 03:17:04,200
know that they've got a wonderful launch

4725
03:17:08,330 --> 03:17:06,120
in front of them absolutely and that's

4726
03:17:10,790 --> 03:17:08,340
what we're rooting for here and so with

4727
03:17:12,230 --> 03:17:10,800
T-minus 11 minutes and Counting we're

4728
03:17:14,090 --> 03:17:12,240
we're going to spin our chairs around

4729
03:17:16,250 --> 03:17:14,100
and watch the launch but we're going to

4730
03:17:17,809 --> 03:17:16,260
let Pat Kate and the team focus on the

4731
03:17:20,030 --> 03:17:17,819
pad as we proceed through the final

4732
03:17:21,889 --> 03:17:20,040
stretch of the countdown we'll turn it

4733
03:17:24,530 --> 03:17:21,899
over to Kate Tice at SpaceX headquarters

4734
03:17:27,769 --> 03:17:24,540
in California take us through take it

4735
03:17:31,730 --> 03:17:30,110
thanks Daryl as you can probably tell by

4736
03:17:33,830 --> 03:17:31,740
the background noise the crowd is

4737
03:17:35,889 --> 03:17:33,840
definitely growing here at SpaceX

4738
03:17:38,510 --> 03:17:35,899
headquarters in Hawthorne California

4739
03:17:41,210 --> 03:17:38,520
certainly one of our company Traditions

4740
03:17:42,830 --> 03:17:41,220
is to watch the launch itself from

4741
03:17:45,469 --> 03:17:42,840
behind mission control which you see

4742
03:17:47,570 --> 03:17:45,479
there on your screen uh you can see this

4743
03:17:50,809 --> 03:17:47,580
is Mission Control Hawthorne or as you

4744
03:17:52,790 --> 03:17:50,819
sometimes hear referred to as mccx and

4745
03:17:55,490 --> 03:17:52,800
then of course a crowd of employees

4746
03:17:57,290 --> 03:17:55,500
watching from behind I personally also

4747
03:17:59,809 --> 03:17:57,300
stand there if I'm not doing the webcast

4748
03:18:02,570 --> 03:17:59,819
so I can confirm it's a great spot to

4749
03:18:04,730 --> 03:18:02,580
watch launch like I said as you can see

4750
03:18:07,250 --> 03:18:04,740
the the energy is certainly starting to

4751
03:18:09,410 --> 03:18:07,260
grow now that we're about to hit T minus

4752
03:18:11,630 --> 03:18:09,420
10 minutes beautiful view there of

4753
03:18:17,030 --> 03:18:11,640
Falcon 9 and dragon on the pad you're

4754
03:18:25,790 --> 03:18:20,330
we did discuss the SpaceX confirmed crew

4755
03:18:30,710 --> 03:18:28,610
welcome we would like to give a huge

4756
03:18:33,290 --> 03:18:30,720
thanks to their names from NASA and

4757
03:18:35,510 --> 03:18:33,300
state 16 to thousands of people for

4758
03:18:37,910 --> 03:18:35,520
their development preparation and

4759
03:18:40,490 --> 03:18:37,920
training been getting endurance and true

4760
03:18:42,410 --> 03:18:40,500
fire to the launch pad today and your

4761
03:18:44,870 --> 03:18:42,420
continued support in helping to make

4762
03:18:47,090 --> 03:18:44,880
this a successful Mission we look

4763
03:18:49,849 --> 03:18:47,100
forward to joining the rest of our

4764
03:18:51,710 --> 03:18:49,859
Expedition 68 crew members aboard the

4765
03:18:54,349 --> 03:18:51,720
International Space Station

4766
03:18:57,650 --> 03:18:54,359
and a sort of fish on behalf of all the

4767
03:19:00,050 --> 03:18:57,660
crew to our family and friends it is

4768
03:19:03,230 --> 03:19:00,060
your love and support to help make

4769
03:19:05,929 --> 03:19:03,240
dreams come true now let's do this

4770
03:19:09,830 --> 03:19:05,939
preside displays of configured for

4771
03:19:16,190 --> 03:19:13,969
coffee and Nicole Josh koichi and Anna

4772
03:19:20,710 --> 03:19:16,200
on behalf of the entire team at SpaceX

4773
03:19:24,650 --> 03:19:20,720
good luck godspeed and enjoy the ride

4774
03:19:27,590 --> 03:19:24,660
and those words from Nicole Mann the

4775
03:19:29,510 --> 03:19:27,600
first female commander of a dragon as

4776
03:19:31,910 --> 03:19:29,520
she thanked the many folks that have

4777
03:19:34,429 --> 03:19:31,920
helped get them to this point we're now

4778
03:19:37,429 --> 03:19:34,439
less than nine minutes away from launch

4779
03:19:39,469 --> 03:19:37,439
today upon liftoff you'll hear a number

4780
03:19:41,929 --> 03:19:39,479
and letter combinations which Mark

4781
03:19:44,630 --> 03:19:41,939
different abort zones throughout the

4782
03:19:47,809 --> 03:19:44,640
flight as well as some performance calls

4783
03:19:50,630 --> 03:19:47,819
the first two are 1A and 1B and those

4784
03:19:53,150 --> 03:19:50,640
signify the first stage and will last up

4785
03:19:56,450 --> 03:19:53,160
to the very North tip of North Carolina

4786
03:19:58,309 --> 03:19:56,460
the next are 2A through 2E and those

4787
03:20:00,950 --> 03:19:58,319
will come into play once the second

4788
03:20:02,990 --> 03:20:00,960
stage kicks in lasting from the top of

4789
03:20:05,570 --> 03:20:03,000
North Carolina all the way to the tip of

4790
03:20:07,670 --> 03:20:05,580
Newfoundland into Northern Atlantic

4791
03:20:10,429 --> 03:20:07,680
you'll also hear a spot that is to be

4792
03:20:12,410 --> 03:20:10,439
avoided and you might hear Shannon or

4793
03:20:14,750 --> 03:20:12,420
forward to Shannon and that actually

4794
03:20:16,550 --> 03:20:14,760
refers to Shannon Ireland meaning they

4795
03:20:18,590 --> 03:20:16,560
would Target off the east coast of

4796
03:20:21,110 --> 03:20:18,600
Ireland if they were later in that

4797
03:20:22,429 --> 03:20:21,120
second stage and did need to abort for

4798
03:20:24,349 --> 03:20:22,439
some reason

4799
03:20:26,389 --> 03:20:24,359
so the next major Milestone that we're

4800
03:20:28,429 --> 03:20:26,399
looking towards will come just seconds

4801
03:20:31,010 --> 03:20:28,439
from now and that will be when Engine

4802
03:20:31,969 --> 03:20:31,020
chill begins on the first stage of the

4803
03:20:36,110 --> 03:20:31,979
engine

4804
03:20:38,150 --> 03:20:36,120
basically when we take a little bit of

4805
03:20:40,730 --> 03:20:38,160
that super chilled densified liquid

4806
03:20:44,030 --> 03:20:40,740
oxygen and we flow it through the turbo

4807
03:20:46,670 --> 03:20:44,040
pumps of the Merlin m1d engines on the

4808
03:20:49,370 --> 03:20:46,680
first stage this helps to prepare the

4809
03:20:51,530 --> 03:20:49,380
turbo pumps and avoid any thermal shock

4810
03:20:53,330 --> 03:20:51,540
to the hardware when they see the full

4811
03:20:56,990 --> 03:20:53,340
flow of liquid oxygen during the

4812
03:20:58,910 --> 03:20:57,000
ignition we're also expecting the uh

4813
03:21:00,950 --> 03:20:58,920
conclusion of

4814
03:21:04,429 --> 03:21:00,960
uh prop load

4815
03:21:07,309 --> 03:21:04,439
um for the rp1 on first stage to wrap up

4816
03:21:09,170 --> 03:21:07,319
at T minus six minutes lox load

4817
03:21:11,809 --> 03:21:09,180
continues to be underway on both first

4818
03:21:14,570 --> 03:21:11,819
and second stages again wrapping those

4819
03:21:16,429 --> 03:21:14,580
uh at T minus three minutes and two

4820
03:21:18,590 --> 03:21:16,439
minutes

4821
03:21:21,050 --> 03:21:18,600
and after that we'll hear a number of

4822
03:21:23,290 --> 03:21:21,060
call outs related to dragon's flight

4823
03:21:25,040 --> 03:21:23,300
computer

4824
03:21:27,110 --> 03:21:25,050
has started

4825
03:21:29,210 --> 03:21:27,120
[Music]

4826
03:21:34,610 --> 03:21:29,220
and you did just hear that call out that

4827
03:21:40,130 --> 03:21:37,670
coming up in just about 45 seconds we

4828
03:21:43,190 --> 03:21:40,140
should expect to hear that rp1 load is

4829
03:21:45,410 --> 03:21:43,200
complete our P1 load is that densified

4830
03:21:48,230 --> 03:21:45,420
kerosene or Rocket Fuel that will help

4831
03:21:51,230 --> 03:21:48,240
Propel the crew into orbit

4832
03:21:53,510 --> 03:21:51,240
all of that rp1 is loaded into the first

4833
03:21:55,969 --> 03:21:53,520
stage and we are standing by to hear

4834
03:21:58,969 --> 03:21:55,979
that it was uh loaded into the second

4835
03:22:04,130 --> 03:22:01,610
again we expect that to wrap at T minus

4836
03:22:06,469 --> 03:22:04,140
six minutes uh the venting that you see

4837
03:22:09,650 --> 03:22:06,479
on screen is totally normal that is just

4838
03:22:12,050 --> 03:22:09,660
some page one rp1 load is complete

4839
03:22:14,090 --> 03:22:12,060
great news there that rp1 mode is now

4840
03:22:15,650 --> 03:22:14,100
finished as I was saying the venting

4841
03:22:17,690 --> 03:22:15,660
that you see on the vehicle is totally

4842
03:22:20,870 --> 03:22:17,700
normal that's just some of the super

4843
03:22:22,910 --> 03:22:20,880
chill densified liquid oxygen uh just

4844
03:22:25,309 --> 03:22:22,920
vaporizing as it comes into contact and

4845
03:22:27,769 --> 03:22:25,319
vents from the beach

4846
03:22:30,290 --> 03:22:27,779
and coming up we'll also hear the call

4847
03:22:32,570 --> 03:22:30,300
for Dragon to configure for terminal

4848
03:22:34,969 --> 03:22:32,580
count and then it will be transferred

4849
03:22:37,250 --> 03:22:34,979
over to internal power and then we'll

4850
03:22:39,769 --> 03:22:37,260
hear that propellant tanks on Falcon 9

4851
03:22:42,110 --> 03:22:39,779
are getting ready to pressurize which

4852
03:22:43,550 --> 03:22:42,120
helps add some additional rigidity and

4853
03:22:50,870 --> 03:22:43,560
structural support

4854
03:22:54,950 --> 03:22:53,090
that strong back will retract a couple

4855
03:22:57,290 --> 03:22:54,960
of degrees at first

4856
03:23:00,889 --> 03:22:57,300
and you'll see it swing open completely

4857
03:23:02,389 --> 03:23:00,899
uh just shortly or at the moment tanks

4858
03:23:04,490 --> 03:23:02,399
will be pressurizing for strong back

4859
03:23:06,230 --> 03:23:04,500
retract

4860
03:23:07,610 --> 03:23:06,240
and there's that indication that we are

4861
03:23:12,170 --> 03:23:07,620
preparing for that strong back

4862
03:23:15,889 --> 03:23:14,150
coming up in just a few seconds we

4863
03:23:20,090 --> 03:23:15,899
should hear that dragon is in terminal

4864
03:23:25,610 --> 03:23:22,250
the dragon is in configured for terminal

4865
03:23:31,309 --> 03:23:28,849
all right there we heard that call

4866
03:23:33,530 --> 03:23:31,319
dragon on board computers have now taken

4867
03:23:36,290 --> 03:23:33,540
control of the vehicle

4868
03:23:38,090 --> 03:23:36,300
as I mentioned before first stage locks

4869
03:23:40,309 --> 03:23:38,100
were liquid oxygen loading is underway

4870
03:23:41,929 --> 03:23:40,319
and we'll wrap up at T minus three

4871
03:23:43,849 --> 03:23:41,939
minutes

4872
03:23:46,250 --> 03:23:43,859
so I can see if we wrap its locks load

4873
03:23:48,170 --> 03:23:46,260
at T minus two minutes

4874
03:23:50,750 --> 03:23:48,180
longest teams continue to report no

4875
03:23:55,490 --> 03:23:50,760
issues and everything remains green and

4876
03:23:55,500 --> 03:23:59,650
foreign

4877
03:24:04,849 --> 03:24:02,090
just a couple seconds you might be able

4878
03:24:07,309 --> 03:24:04,859
to see the strong back arm as it does

4879
03:24:10,389 --> 03:24:07,319
begin to retract as Kate said it will

4880
03:24:19,480 --> 03:24:14,030
we can just barely make out the clamp on

4881
03:24:19,490 --> 03:24:26,090
[Music]

4882
03:24:30,050 --> 03:24:27,950
all right now that this clamp arm's

4883
03:24:33,110 --> 03:24:30,060
removed as you just said this will

4884
03:24:34,849 --> 03:24:33,120
retract by two degrees and then at lifts

4885
03:24:38,929 --> 03:24:34,859
off the strong back will retract another

4886
03:24:40,510 --> 03:24:38,939
to 45 degrees uh allowing Falcon 9 to

4887
03:24:42,830 --> 03:24:40,520
clear

4888
03:24:45,050 --> 03:24:42,840
this drop back is part of the

4889
03:24:48,170 --> 03:24:45,060
transporter erector and the transporter

4890
03:24:49,969 --> 03:24:48,180
erector is what provides the liquid the

4891
03:24:51,710 --> 03:24:49,979
gasoline electrical connections to the

4892
03:24:53,929 --> 03:24:51,720
vehicle it's also what we use to

4893
03:24:55,309 --> 03:24:53,939
integrate the vehicle in its horizontal

4894
03:24:57,100 --> 03:24:55,319
position and you can see that two

4895
03:25:00,610 --> 03:24:57,110
degrees of Attraction just now

4896
03:25:02,830 --> 03:25:00,620
[Applause]

4897
03:25:05,389 --> 03:25:02,840
foreign

4898
03:25:08,210 --> 03:25:05,399
that we should hear in about 20 seconds

4899
03:25:12,300 --> 03:25:08,220
is that the first stage locks load is

4900
03:25:12,310 --> 03:25:15,550
[Applause]

4901
03:25:21,469 --> 03:25:19,070
stage one locks load is complete and

4902
03:25:24,229 --> 03:25:21,479
there we go all of the oxidizer loaded

4903
03:25:27,050 --> 03:25:24,239
on stage one

4904
03:25:29,510 --> 03:25:27,060
soon we'll hear that stage two locks

4905
03:25:31,429 --> 03:25:29,520
load is complete and that will be the

4906
03:25:34,070 --> 03:25:31,439
last propellant call out we'll hear

4907
03:25:35,690 --> 03:25:34,080
today now less than three minutes until

4908
03:25:37,849 --> 03:25:35,700
launch

4909
03:25:41,030 --> 03:25:37,859
dragon is in terminal count and is on

4910
03:25:44,630 --> 03:25:42,590
all right there we heard the good news

4911
03:25:46,790 --> 03:25:44,640
the dragon is now on internal power

4912
03:25:49,010 --> 03:25:46,800
again the white clouds that you see

4913
03:25:51,650 --> 03:25:49,020
there at the base of the Dragon trunk

4914
03:25:54,710 --> 03:25:51,660
totally normal that's just the vapor uh

4915
03:25:58,550 --> 03:25:54,720
from the liquid oxygen again second

4916
03:26:00,170 --> 03:25:58,560
stage now wrapping up its lost load

4917
03:26:01,729 --> 03:26:00,180
excuse me first stage wrapping up it's

4918
03:26:03,830 --> 03:26:01,739
locked load

4919
03:26:06,349 --> 03:26:03,840
um just a few minutes ago and now moving

4920
03:26:07,969 --> 03:26:06,359
toward wrap up a second stage locks load

4921
03:26:09,769 --> 03:26:07,979
which will complete at T minus two

4922
03:26:14,929 --> 03:26:09,779
minutes

4923
03:26:20,020 --> 03:26:14,939
standing by for word that stage two

4924
03:26:20,030 --> 03:26:35,150
[Applause]

4925
03:26:40,309 --> 03:26:37,370
dragon is in Auto Idol

4926
03:26:42,469 --> 03:26:40,319
stage two locks load is complete there

4927
03:26:45,110 --> 03:26:42,479
we heard the call out Falcon 9 is now

4928
03:26:48,889 --> 03:26:45,120
completely fueled wow all of its

4929
03:26:50,630 --> 03:26:48,899
propellants are starting effects

4930
03:26:53,750 --> 03:26:50,640
all of its propellants and we can see

4931
03:26:56,809 --> 03:26:53,760
that leftover liquid oxygen uh now being

4932
03:26:59,210 --> 03:26:56,819
vented or released uh now flowing

4933
03:27:02,030 --> 03:26:59,220
further away from the vehicle so nearly

4934
03:27:05,389 --> 03:27:02,040
one million pounds of liquid oxygen in

4935
03:27:07,849 --> 03:27:05,399
rp1 now on board Falcon 9. it is fully

4936
03:27:10,309 --> 03:27:07,859
loaded and ready for lunch

4937
03:27:12,610 --> 03:27:10,319
and coming up at T minus one minute

4938
03:27:14,870 --> 03:27:12,620
we'll hear that dragon is in countdown

4939
03:27:16,610 --> 03:27:14,880
its flight computer will switch to

4940
03:27:20,889 --> 03:27:16,620
countdown mode and we'll hear that the

4941
03:27:23,750 --> 03:27:20,899
flight termination system on Falcon 9 is

4942
03:27:25,849 --> 03:27:23,760
startup and is now controlling and there

4943
03:27:28,070 --> 03:27:25,859
you heard it dragons countdown Dragon

4944
03:27:32,630 --> 03:27:28,080
Supply computer in Countdown the flight

4945
03:27:38,269 --> 03:27:34,969
to get the final go for launch from

4946
03:27:38,279 --> 03:27:43,250
godspeed go for launch

4947
03:27:43,260 --> 03:27:48,790
SpaceX dragon go for launch

4948
03:27:57,950 --> 03:27:53,090
SpaceX Let's Go Crew reports go 30

4949
03:27:57,960 --> 03:28:13,900
foreign

4950
03:28:36,050 --> 03:28:15,870

4952
03:28:45,110 --> 03:28:42,769
stage one propulsion vehicle is pitching

4953
03:28:53,450 --> 03:28:45,120
down range stage one propulsion is

4954
03:28:58,969 --> 03:28:56,809
we're now at t plus 35 seconds into the

4955
03:29:07,729 --> 03:28:58,979
fifth rotational crew mission on board

4956
03:29:07,739 --> 03:29:13,130
out for stage one Throttle Down

4957
03:29:17,870 --> 03:29:15,830
Falcon 9 engines throttling down to help

4958
03:29:20,630 --> 03:29:17,880
pass through the

4959
03:29:23,450 --> 03:29:20,640
through the dynamic pressure

4960
03:29:24,429 --> 03:29:23,460
this period is known as Max q and what's

4961
03:29:26,450 --> 03:29:24,439
the field

4962
03:29:28,250 --> 03:29:26,460
there we just heard that the vehicles

4963
03:29:30,710 --> 03:29:28,260
now traveling faster than the speed of

4964
03:29:37,080 --> 03:29:30,720
sound once through Max Q will throttle

4965
03:29:37,090 --> 03:29:42,550
[Music]

4966
03:29:48,290 --> 03:29:46,130
copy one Bravo that call out for one

4967
03:29:50,510 --> 03:29:48,300
Bravo means we're in the second and

4968
03:29:53,330 --> 03:29:50,520
final abort mode for the first stage

4969
03:29:56,630 --> 03:29:53,340
continuing to get good performance the

4970
03:29:58,969 --> 03:29:56,640
crew is already pulling over two G's

4971
03:30:02,210 --> 03:29:58,979
and next up is going to be a couple of

4972
03:30:04,370 --> 03:30:02,220
events in Rapid succession first will be

4973
03:30:06,950 --> 03:30:04,380
engine Chill on the second stage and

4974
03:30:09,469 --> 03:30:06,960
back engine and there you heard that

4975
03:30:11,630 --> 03:30:09,479
call out and then we'll have Mikko or

4976
03:30:13,969 --> 03:30:11,640
main engine cut off where the nine

4977
03:30:18,410 --> 03:30:13,979
engines igniting will cut off in

4978
03:30:23,750 --> 03:30:21,290
then we'll see the single Merlin vacuum

4979
03:30:25,849 --> 03:30:23,760
engine on the second stage ignite and

4980
03:30:28,490 --> 03:30:25,859
continue to carry the crew 5 astronauts

4981
03:30:33,830 --> 03:30:30,650
just like we did on first stage that

4982
03:30:36,050 --> 03:30:33,840
mvac chill is intended to help pre-chill

4983
03:30:39,110 --> 03:30:36,060
the hardware prior to the full flow of

4984
03:30:41,330 --> 03:30:39,120
that densified liquid oxygen

4985
03:30:43,610 --> 03:30:41,340
one problem

4986
03:30:45,590 --> 03:30:43,620
at this point in time those nine Merlin

4987
03:30:48,170 --> 03:30:45,600
engines are beginning to Throttle Down

4988
03:30:54,650 --> 03:30:48,180
in preparation for Miko or main engine

4989
03:30:54,660 --> 03:31:02,870
standing by for Mikko

4990
03:31:07,670 --> 03:31:05,510
hear me stage separation confirmed copy

4991
03:31:09,950 --> 03:31:07,680
to Alpha

4992
03:31:12,530 --> 03:31:09,960
there we should see that second engine

4993
03:31:16,849 --> 03:31:12,540
begin to ignite now

4994
03:31:26,349 --> 03:31:16,859
[Applause]

4995
03:31:32,809 --> 03:31:29,510
second stage is lit and continuing to

4996
03:31:34,670 --> 03:31:32,819
carry the crew 5 astronauts into orbit

4997
03:31:37,550 --> 03:31:34,680
we're now getting a view of the first

4998
03:31:39,290 --> 03:31:37,560
stage after that stage separation the

4999
03:31:41,750 --> 03:31:39,300
second stage is still being illuminated

5000
03:31:43,190 --> 03:31:41,760
by that single Merlin vacuum engine and

5001
03:31:45,530 --> 03:31:43,200
that's on the right hand side of your

5002
03:31:47,450 --> 03:31:45,540
screen first stage on the left hand side

5003
03:31:49,490 --> 03:31:47,460
of your screen making its way back to

5004
03:31:52,490 --> 03:31:49,500
Earth we will be attempting to land it

5005
03:31:55,130 --> 03:31:52,500
on our drone ship which today we're

5006
03:31:59,280 --> 03:31:55,140
using just read the instructions they

5007
03:32:03,830 --> 03:32:01,190
[Music]

5008
03:32:07,550 --> 03:32:03,840
and we did hear that acquisition of the

5009
03:32:11,450 --> 03:32:09,410
the first stage is continuing to make

5010
03:32:13,849 --> 03:32:11,460
its way back to Earth and the second

5011
03:32:14,990 --> 03:32:13,859
stage is going to continue trajectory

5012
03:32:20,750 --> 03:32:15,000
nominal

5013
03:32:24,469 --> 03:32:22,910
confirmation there from Commander Nicole

5014
03:32:27,650 --> 03:32:24,479
Mann

5015
03:32:29,510 --> 03:32:27,660
you can also sort of see the the Space

5016
03:32:31,190 --> 03:32:29,520
Coast there in the background of the

5017
03:32:33,290 --> 03:32:31,200
first stage on the left hand side of

5018
03:32:36,950 --> 03:32:33,300
your screen it also looks like you can

5019
03:32:38,870 --> 03:32:36,960
actually see the thrust plume uh created

5020
03:32:44,450 --> 03:32:38,880
by the first stage as it's now rotating

5021
03:32:49,550 --> 03:32:47,210
second stage is going to continue firing

5022
03:32:51,769 --> 03:32:49,560
until a little over eight minutes into

5023
03:32:56,330 --> 03:32:51,779
the flight really doing the heavy

5024
03:33:00,830 --> 03:32:58,429
everything continues to look nominal on

5025
03:33:02,929 --> 03:33:00,840
both first and second stages as I

5026
03:33:05,870 --> 03:33:02,939
mentioned before the first stage will be

5027
03:33:07,610 --> 03:33:05,880
making a landing on one of our drone

5028
03:33:09,410 --> 03:33:07,620
ships which is currently parked a couple

5029
03:33:12,229 --> 03:33:09,420
hundred miles off the coast of Florida

5030
03:33:16,610 --> 03:33:12,239
in the Atlantic Ocean so we can see now

5031
03:33:23,570 --> 03:33:18,349
good confirmation there that we have a

5032
03:33:31,849 --> 03:33:26,630
the second stage now traveling over 5

5033
03:33:36,170 --> 03:33:34,130
crew is pulling a little more than one G

5034
03:33:38,690 --> 03:33:36,180
right now that's going to continue to

5035
03:33:40,729 --> 03:33:38,700
ramp up peaking just before we get to

5036
03:33:41,490 --> 03:33:40,739
Second Stage cut off here in just a few

5037
03:33:47,510 --> 03:33:41,500
minutes from now

5038
03:33:52,790 --> 03:33:49,729
first stage will be performing two

5039
03:33:55,550 --> 03:33:52,800
separate Burns a re-entry burn where we

5040
03:33:57,710 --> 03:33:55,560
reignite three of the Merlin back excuse

5041
03:34:00,170 --> 03:33:57,720
me the Merlin m1d engines on the first

5042
03:34:02,510 --> 03:34:00,180
stage we ignite the center engine into

5043
03:34:04,370 --> 03:34:02,520
radial engines to help slow it down as

5044
03:34:06,950 --> 03:34:04,380
it re-enters the Earth's atmosphere and

5045
03:34:10,790 --> 03:34:06,960
then the second final burn and that will

5046
03:34:13,190 --> 03:34:10,800
be the landing burn on our drone ship

5047
03:34:17,030 --> 03:34:13,200
and the single M back engine that you

5048
03:34:21,349 --> 03:34:19,670
the single and back

5049
03:34:23,570 --> 03:34:21,359
see on the right of your screen is

5050
03:34:26,330 --> 03:34:23,580
continuing to fire we did hear another

5051
03:34:28,190 --> 03:34:26,340
call out that trajectory is nominal

5052
03:34:33,410 --> 03:34:28,200
crew heading in the direction that they

5053
03:34:38,870 --> 03:34:36,889
this single engine can produce over 220

5054
03:34:42,110 --> 03:34:38,880
000 pounds of thrust in the vacuum of

5055
03:34:46,670 --> 03:34:42,120
space now over 200 kilometers in

5056
03:34:51,290 --> 03:34:49,309
we will start to hit events now in a

5057
03:34:53,090 --> 03:34:51,300
rapid succession as the first stage

5058
03:34:55,370 --> 03:34:53,100
continues to make its way back to Earth

5059
03:34:59,030 --> 03:34:55,380
and the second stage continues its burn

5060
03:35:01,010 --> 03:34:59,040
just a couple minutes left in that burn

5061
03:35:04,309 --> 03:35:01,020
for those of you just joining us just

5062
03:35:06,710 --> 03:35:04,319
over six and a half minutes ago are four

5063
03:35:09,110 --> 03:35:06,720
crew 5 astronauts launched from Kennedy

5064
03:35:11,450 --> 03:35:09,120
Space Center in Florida and they are now

5065
03:35:13,969 --> 03:35:11,460
making their way into orbit on the

5066
03:35:15,349 --> 03:35:13,979
second stage inside

5067
03:35:17,210 --> 03:35:15,359
help

5068
03:35:19,010 --> 03:35:17,220
which we're hearing that the trajectory

5069
03:35:19,990 --> 03:35:19,020
on that is nominal

5070
03:35:23,150 --> 03:35:20,000
um

5071
03:35:25,130 --> 03:35:23,160
they are in safe inside uh dragon

5072
03:35:27,349 --> 03:35:25,140
endurance whereas the first stage on the

5073
03:35:29,130 --> 03:35:27,359
left hand side of your screen is making

5074
03:35:30,410 --> 03:35:29,140
its way back to Earth

5075
03:35:34,309 --> 03:35:30,420
[Applause]

5076
03:35:36,349 --> 03:35:34,319
we are coming up to the re-entry burn

5077
03:35:38,809 --> 03:35:36,359
which as I said before we ignite three

5078
03:35:40,910 --> 03:35:38,819
of the nine Merlin engines

5079
03:35:42,830 --> 03:35:40,920
to help slow the booster down as it

5080
03:35:46,010 --> 03:35:42,840
re-enters the Death part of the Earth's

5081
03:35:51,370 --> 03:35:47,870
as the entry burn completes we'll be in

5082
03:36:02,690 --> 03:35:53,389
you can either see it on your screen

5083
03:36:08,389 --> 03:36:06,050
and as that entry burn completes will be

5084
03:36:10,490 --> 03:36:08,399
in the final

5085
03:36:12,889 --> 03:36:10,500
um different abort phases here shortly

5086
03:36:15,590 --> 03:36:12,899
which essentially correspond to areas

5087
03:36:16,630 --> 03:36:15,600
along the very Northeastern Seaboard of

5088
03:36:19,729 --> 03:36:16,640
the U.S

5089
03:36:24,889 --> 03:36:19,739
shut down

5090
03:36:26,929 --> 03:36:24,899
and then those last all the way across

5091
03:36:33,530 --> 03:36:26,939
the Atlantic Ocean Atlantic off the

5092
03:36:33,540 --> 03:36:37,330
foreign

5093
03:36:47,269 --> 03:36:39,889
continues to look nominal for both the

5094
03:36:53,690 --> 03:36:50,990
and the crew with the second stage still

5095
03:36:56,090 --> 03:36:53,700
attached is now traveling over 13

5096
03:36:59,990 --> 03:36:56,100
000 miles per hour

5097
03:37:03,910 --> 03:37:00,000
for about 10 seconds away from Seco one

5098
03:37:09,170 --> 03:37:06,229
that call out for Shannon Ireland

5099
03:37:11,690 --> 03:37:09,180
indicative of our final abort Zone after

5100
03:37:13,490 --> 03:37:11,700
this we'll see second stage shut off and

5101
03:37:15,650 --> 03:37:13,500
we'll be listening for confirmation of a

5102
03:37:21,469 --> 03:37:15,660
good orbit which tells us the crew and

5103
03:37:28,190 --> 03:37:24,190
there we had confirmation

5104
03:37:32,510 --> 03:37:28,200
has shut down simultaneously uh the

5105
03:37:36,830 --> 03:37:34,610
and you heard that call for a good

5106
03:37:38,330 --> 03:37:36,840
insertion we will Coast for a few

5107
03:37:40,670 --> 03:37:38,340
minutes

5108
03:37:43,790 --> 03:37:40,680
there we can see the Drone ship coming

5109
03:37:45,769 --> 03:37:43,800
into view as Falcon 9 attempts the stage

5110
03:37:47,150 --> 03:37:45,779
one Landing light deploy

5111
03:37:52,429 --> 03:37:47,160
and see those Landing lights have now

5112
03:38:02,510 --> 03:37:55,030
and

5113
03:38:04,550 --> 03:38:02,520
on our drone ship just with the

5114
03:38:08,929 --> 03:38:04,560
instructions for toss the coast of

5115
03:38:13,969 --> 03:38:12,410
and again that second stage separation

5116
03:38:16,070 --> 03:38:13,979
will be coming up just a couple of

5117
03:38:16,809 --> 03:38:16,080
minutes now we do Coast for a few

5118
03:38:20,330 --> 03:38:16,819
minutes

5119
03:38:23,570 --> 03:38:20,340
after second engine cutoff to allow any

5120
03:38:26,269 --> 03:38:23,580
rates to our emotions that dampen out

5121
03:38:30,950 --> 03:38:28,070
and looks like we're gonna get a view of

5122
03:38:35,330 --> 03:38:30,960
the second stage as it separates here

5123
03:38:49,969 --> 03:38:37,309
we did hear that the crew has been

5124
03:39:04,370 --> 03:38:52,190
again the crew is still attached to the

5125
03:39:08,990 --> 03:39:06,590
we are expecting stage separation to

5126
03:39:11,870 --> 03:39:09,000
occur and just over a minute from now

5127
03:39:15,349 --> 03:39:11,880
about one minute and eight seconds

5128
03:39:17,750 --> 03:39:15,359
and that's when the uh excuse me when

5129
03:39:21,410 --> 03:39:17,760
the second stage will separate from the

5130
03:39:27,229 --> 03:39:23,750
Dragon trunk is the part of Hardware

5131
03:39:29,269 --> 03:39:27,239
where we are able to house the cargo

5132
03:39:32,030 --> 03:39:29,279
that is able to be exposed to the vacuum

5133
03:39:40,969 --> 03:39:34,250
as well as the solar panels which help

5134
03:39:45,710 --> 03:39:42,769
again that stage separation is now

5135
03:39:48,170 --> 03:39:45,720
coming up in about 30 seconds

5136
03:39:50,870 --> 03:39:48,180
after stage separation we will have nose

5137
03:39:53,150 --> 03:39:50,880
cone deployment now that dragon is in

5138
03:39:54,889 --> 03:39:53,160
the vacuum of space we're able to we

5139
03:39:57,349 --> 03:39:54,899
will be able to open the nose cone and

5140
03:40:00,050 --> 03:39:57,359
expose that forward hatch which is what

5141
03:40:02,750 --> 03:40:00,060
is utilized to dock autonomously with

5142
03:40:05,330 --> 03:40:02,760
the International Space Station

5143
03:40:07,729 --> 03:40:05,340
and that nose cone does stay closed for

5144
03:40:09,650 --> 03:40:07,739
the flight uphill to help protect all of

5145
03:40:12,410 --> 03:40:09,660
the guidance navigation and control

5146
03:40:27,410 --> 03:40:15,410
we are standing by for second stage

5147
03:40:27,420 --> 03:40:38,390
foreign

5148
03:40:38,400 --> 03:40:52,870
[Applause]

5149
03:40:56,269 --> 03:40:55,130
a pleasure to be a part of this Mission

5150
03:40:58,849 --> 03:40:56,279
with you

5151
03:40:59,809 --> 03:40:58,859
and while October 3rd May belong to the

5152
03:41:02,090 --> 03:40:59,819
Mean Girls

5153
03:41:09,130 --> 03:41:02,100

03:41:19,729 --> 03:41:18,120
he's got three rookies that are pretty

5157
03:41:22,490 --> 03:41:19,739
happy to be floating in space right now

5158
03:41:24,410 --> 03:41:22,500
and one veteran astronaut who's pretty

5159
03:41:27,110 --> 03:41:24,420
happy to be back as well let's see what

5160
03:41:29,870 --> 03:41:27,120
you got to say creatures

5161
03:41:33,110 --> 03:41:29,880
soccer team man know it was a smooth

5162
03:41:36,110 --> 03:41:33,120
ride and I see all the three happy faces

5163
03:41:38,570 --> 03:41:36,120
here is back in zero Z

5164
03:41:40,790 --> 03:41:38,580
I appreciate all the helps to give us a

5165
03:41:43,480 --> 03:41:40,800
smooth ride and training and thank you

5166
03:41:53,950 --> 03:41:43,580
[Applause]

5167
03:41:53,960 --> 03:42:04,450
thank you for your support

5168
03:42:09,769 --> 03:42:07,670
exactly for uh giving us this

5169
03:42:12,590 --> 03:42:09,779
opportunity we saw the way to do it

5170
03:42:13,630 --> 03:42:12,600
together and thank you for everybody for

5171
03:42:33,170 --> 03:42:13,640
people

5172
03:42:38,990 --> 03:42:35,450
some really nice words there from the

5173
03:42:41,510 --> 03:42:39,000
crew 5 crew as well as dragons thanks

5174
03:42:46,190 --> 03:42:41,520
for the words uh I had a great ride have

5175
03:42:50,690 --> 03:42:48,349
uh wonderful Mean Girls reference there

5176
03:42:52,610 --> 03:42:50,700
by launch director uh Mark soltis and

5177
03:42:57,229 --> 03:42:52,620
then we just heard from

5178
03:42:57,239 --> 03:43:04,630
we just heard our first quindar town

5179
03:43:04,640 --> 03:43:10,370
New Hampshire

5180
03:43:14,090 --> 03:43:12,229
and Kate it did look like we were

5181
03:43:16,969 --> 03:43:14,100
getting our first views of that

5182
03:43:21,170 --> 03:43:16,979
microgravity indicator I did see that as

5183
03:43:26,150 --> 03:43:23,690
and we're getting views now of the crew

5184
03:43:28,070 --> 03:43:26,160
on orbit three of them for the first

5185
03:43:31,070 --> 03:43:28,080
time ever

5186
03:43:42,290 --> 03:43:31,080
we saw some cheers some high fives looks

5187
03:43:46,969 --> 03:43:44,210
hopefully we can see that zero g

5188
03:43:48,650 --> 03:43:46,979
indicator float back into view and

5189
03:43:50,150 --> 03:43:48,660
hopefully get a better shot of it I

5190
03:43:52,070 --> 03:43:50,160
couldn't quite tell what it was although

5191
03:43:54,530 --> 03:43:52,080
it kind of looked like it may have been

5192
03:43:55,969 --> 03:43:54,540
an Einstein doll that's just kind of

5193
03:43:58,190 --> 03:43:55,979
what it looked like from the the back

5194
03:44:03,469 --> 03:43:58,200
side I think you're right okay it looked

5195
03:44:15,830 --> 03:44:05,690
so the next Milestone that we're looking

5196
03:44:22,010 --> 03:44:18,710
if you've just joined us joined us we

5197
03:44:26,450 --> 03:44:22,020
had a successful liftoff uh exactly 16

5198
03:44:29,389 --> 03:44:26,460
minutes ago of the crew 5 Mission uh

5199
03:44:32,210 --> 03:44:29,399
they had an on-time liftoff from Kennedy

5200
03:44:35,269 --> 03:44:32,220
Space Center at noon eastern time they

5201
03:44:37,550 --> 03:44:35,279
had a smooth ride up to orbit the first

5202
03:44:40,490 --> 03:44:37,560
stage landed successfully on our drone

5203
03:44:42,590 --> 03:44:40,500
ship just read the instructions and

5204
03:44:45,290 --> 03:44:42,600
everything has been looking good so far

5205
03:44:48,170 --> 03:44:45,300
we are hoping to get another view on

5206
03:44:51,050 --> 03:44:48,180
board Dragon once we're able to get that

5207
03:44:53,269 --> 03:44:51,060
camera back but so far uh you know

5208
03:44:55,429 --> 03:44:53,279
everything leading up to this point in

5209
03:44:57,710 --> 03:44:55,439
time we got a shot there of the mvac

5210
03:45:00,710 --> 03:44:57,720
engine which is no longer firing it is

5211
03:45:02,570 --> 03:45:00,720
uh hosting um but that's attached to the

5212
03:45:03,950 --> 03:45:02,580
second stage which has been separated

5213
03:45:05,690 --> 03:45:03,960
from Dragon

5214
03:45:07,969 --> 03:45:05,700
um yeah so everything was super smooth

5215
03:45:11,030 --> 03:45:07,979
this morning uh starting all the way

5216
03:45:13,790 --> 03:45:11,040
back I think we got here around C minus

5217
03:45:15,830 --> 03:45:13,800
four hours and a super smooth countdown

5218
03:45:18,170 --> 03:45:15,840
beautiful day from Kennedy Space Center

5219
03:45:20,750 --> 03:45:18,180
it looked like a gorgeous view from

5220
03:45:23,809 --> 03:45:20,760
where Daryl and Bob were sitting but

5221
03:45:25,670 --> 03:45:23,819
yeah we are standing by for the nose

5222
03:45:27,950 --> 03:45:25,680
cone opening now that the dragon

5223
03:45:28,690 --> 03:45:27,960
spacecraft is in space we are able to

5224
03:45:31,790 --> 03:45:28,700
Target

5225
03:45:33,650 --> 03:45:31,800
we are able to open up that uh dose cone

5226
03:45:36,590 --> 03:45:33,660
and expose the forward hatch which is

5227
03:45:38,330 --> 03:45:36,600
what is utilized to autonomously dock

5228
03:45:40,610 --> 03:45:38,340
with the International Space Station but

5229
03:45:41,809 --> 03:45:40,620
of course to protect that Hardware as

5230
03:45:48,170 --> 03:45:41,819
well

5231
03:45:50,570 --> 03:45:48,180
and navigation control Hardware we keep

5232
03:45:52,550 --> 03:45:50,580
that nose cone closed during launch

5233
03:45:55,150 --> 03:45:52,560
preparations and during the ascent

5234
03:45:59,210 --> 03:45:55,160
portion so as you can see saw there

5235
03:46:01,309 --> 03:45:59,220
momentarily uh dragon is in space and uh

5236
03:46:04,729 --> 03:46:01,319
the crew 4 or excuse me the crew five

5237
03:46:07,550 --> 03:46:04,739
astronauts all four of them are floating

5238
03:46:10,370 --> 03:46:07,560
or they will be able to float soon uh

5239
03:46:12,170 --> 03:46:10,380
we're hoping to get another view of that

5240
03:46:15,410 --> 03:46:12,180
zero g indicator once we're able to

5241
03:46:18,530 --> 03:46:15,420
bring cabin on board cabin views back to

5242
03:46:21,349 --> 03:46:18,540
you of the crew 5 crew we always like to

5243
03:46:23,510 --> 03:46:21,359
see what the uh with the zero g gravity

5244
03:46:27,710 --> 03:46:23,520
indicator is as you saw earlier in the

5245
03:46:30,590 --> 03:46:27,720
web webcast uh Bob actually brought the

5246
03:46:34,070 --> 03:46:30,600
zero g indicator that he and Doug used

5247
03:46:36,349 --> 03:46:34,080
on the demo 2 mission a lovely sequin

5248
03:46:38,389 --> 03:46:36,359
dinosaur which I also have one at my

5249
03:46:40,729 --> 03:46:38,399
desk not the Bob obviously has the one

5250
03:46:42,590 --> 03:46:40,739
that went to space mine is a replica but

5251
03:46:45,710 --> 03:46:42,600
we love seeing these zero g indicators

5252
03:46:48,110 --> 03:46:45,720
it's a really nice way to connect those

5253
03:46:50,929 --> 03:46:48,120
of us on ground with the folks up in

5254
03:46:53,269 --> 03:46:50,939
space so as I said before we are

5255
03:46:55,490 --> 03:46:53,279
anticipating a nose cone deployment

5256
03:46:58,190 --> 03:46:55,500
shortly uh just you can do a quick

5257
03:46:59,870 --> 03:46:58,200
check-in and oh there we can see now uh

5258
03:47:01,250 --> 03:46:59,880
the nose cone the hooks have been

5259
03:47:11,200 --> 03:47:01,260
released and we see that nose cone

5260
03:47:16,070 --> 03:47:13,150
[Applause]

5261
03:47:17,950 --> 03:47:16,080
we're continuing to see that nose cone

5262
03:47:20,870 --> 03:47:17,960
open and yeah

5263
03:47:22,610 --> 03:47:20,880
as we've mentioned this does uncover a

5264
03:47:24,469 --> 03:47:22,620
number of critical systems for the

5265
03:47:29,929 --> 03:47:24,479
flight up to the space station that will

5266
03:47:33,830 --> 03:47:32,090
there are six hooks that hold the nose

5267
03:47:36,110 --> 03:47:33,840
cone in place during the launch and

5268
03:47:38,450 --> 03:47:36,120
Ascent portions those have begun to

5269
03:47:46,610 --> 03:47:38,460
retract and the nose cone is beginning

5270
03:47:50,929 --> 03:47:48,950
the nose cone is about two-thirds of the

5271
03:48:01,570 --> 03:47:50,939
way open at this time so we do expect it

5272
03:48:06,530 --> 03:48:04,490
shortly after nose cone deployment the

5273
03:48:08,929 --> 03:48:06,540
crew will be able to get their visors

5274
03:48:10,910 --> 03:48:08,939
open and they'll be given the okay to

5275
03:48:13,429 --> 03:48:10,920
get out of their suits and that will

5276
03:48:16,010 --> 03:48:13,439
allow them to settle in for their ride

5277
03:48:18,110 --> 03:48:16,020
to the International Space Station

5278
03:48:21,410 --> 03:48:18,120
all right

5279
03:48:23,750 --> 03:48:21,420
it is about a 29 hour Journey for the

5280
03:48:25,849 --> 03:48:23,760
crew from launch to docking to the space

5281
03:48:26,929 --> 03:48:25,859
station but as you said they'll be able

5282
03:48:29,210 --> 03:48:26,939
to get out of their suits get

5283
03:48:31,130 --> 03:48:29,220
comfortable get some rest and just enjoy

5284
03:48:33,650 --> 03:48:31,140
being in the microgravity environment of

5285
03:48:36,530 --> 03:48:33,660
space again we have three first-time

5286
03:48:39,110 --> 03:48:36,540
flyers and one veteran on today's flight

5287
03:48:40,910 --> 03:48:39,120
but I'm sure it was an exciting moment

5288
03:48:42,830 --> 03:48:40,920
no matter how many times you've been to

5289
03:48:43,870 --> 03:48:42,840
space I can't imagine that it ever gets

5290
03:48:47,150 --> 03:48:43,880
old

5291
03:48:50,269 --> 03:48:47,160
I would probably agree with that I would

5292
03:48:53,630 --> 03:48:50,279
also imagine that the three first-time

5293
03:48:55,429 --> 03:48:53,640
space goers will have a brief period of

5294
03:48:57,650 --> 03:48:55,439
acclimation to gravity I know I

5295
03:48:59,389 --> 03:48:57,660
certainly would and I also recognize

5296
03:49:01,969 --> 03:48:59,399
that my period probably wouldn't be very

5297
03:49:03,469 --> 03:49:01,979
brief in order to get acclimated to that

5298
03:49:06,110 --> 03:49:03,479
lack of gravity

5299
03:49:07,750 --> 03:49:06,120
um but yeah this is something that um

5300
03:49:10,729 --> 03:49:07,760
the veteran

5301
03:49:13,370 --> 03:49:10,739
astronauts on board station uh are you

5302
03:49:16,670 --> 03:49:13,380
know always happy to help really

5303
03:49:19,250 --> 03:49:16,680
introduce the the new space goers uh to

5304
03:49:21,830 --> 03:49:19,260
the new environment

5305
03:49:24,050 --> 03:49:21,840
absolutely and we did also hear that

5306
03:49:26,510 --> 03:49:24,060
there was good service section at Draco

5307
03:49:28,429 --> 03:49:26,520
checkouts that took place we are

5308
03:49:30,290 --> 03:49:28,439
standing by for that nose cone to be

5309
03:49:38,450 --> 03:49:30,300
fully deployed but it should be coming

5310
03:49:42,229 --> 03:49:40,370
Dragon we see a nominal nose cone

5311
03:49:47,210 --> 03:49:42,239
opening TCS and forward bulkhead Draco

5312
03:49:47,220 --> 03:49:53,630
Dragon copies

5313
03:50:01,550 --> 03:49:57,110
X burn is a the upcoming phase burn per

5314
03:50:17,929 --> 03:50:04,080
we see the phase burn in 28 minutes

5315
03:50:23,510 --> 03:50:20,510
so you heard it there the nose cone has

5316
03:50:25,190 --> 03:50:23,520
fully been opened successfully we had

5317
03:50:28,309 --> 03:50:25,200
some good checkouts

5318
03:50:30,410 --> 03:50:28,319
on the Draco thrusters

5319
03:50:31,550 --> 03:50:30,420
on the service section Draco thrusters

5320
03:50:34,610 --> 03:50:31,560
rather

5321
03:50:39,650 --> 03:50:34,620
and we also had nominal forward bulkhead

5322
03:50:44,570 --> 03:50:42,229
that's right and the astronauts should

5323
03:50:46,969 --> 03:50:44,580
be getting the okay to doff or remove

5324
03:50:50,210 --> 03:50:46,979
their suits uh in about six or seven

5325
03:50:52,429 --> 03:50:50,220
minutes I would imagine that um as

5326
03:50:54,830 --> 03:50:52,439
Sandra mentioned before we do have three

5327
03:50:55,910 --> 03:50:54,840
space newbies on board today I would

5328
03:50:58,070 --> 03:50:55,920
imagine that they would be pretty

5329
03:51:00,769 --> 03:50:58,080
excited to get out of their seats

5330
03:51:03,830 --> 03:51:00,779
they've been in uh in these seats for a

5331
03:51:06,229 --> 03:51:03,840
while the crew ingressed hours ago and

5332
03:51:08,630 --> 03:51:06,239
uh if I would imagine that the three

5333
03:51:10,910 --> 03:51:08,640
folks and even the veteran everybody

5334
03:51:12,469 --> 03:51:10,920
would be excited to get out and be able

5335
03:51:16,309 --> 03:51:12,479
to float around a little bit for the

5336
03:51:21,769 --> 03:51:18,950
yes absolutely and you do see the crew

5337
03:51:23,750 --> 03:51:21,779
working through some procedures there on

5338
03:51:25,130 --> 03:51:23,760
the touch pads that they do have in

5339
03:51:27,710 --> 03:51:25,140
front of them they'll continue to have

5340
03:51:29,510 --> 03:51:27,720
those available for them throughout

5341
03:51:32,690 --> 03:51:29,520
their flight uphill again this is going

5342
03:51:39,590 --> 03:51:32,700
to be about a 29 hour launch to docking

5343
03:51:46,670 --> 03:51:42,110
it seems as though that zero g indicator

5344
03:51:52,309 --> 03:51:46,680
may have floated out of view perhaps up

5345
03:51:57,889 --> 03:51:54,889
we can see that the visors are up

5346
03:52:00,469 --> 03:51:57,899
Dragon SpaceX environments are looking

5347
03:52:02,929 --> 03:52:00,479
good for suit Doffing

5348
03:52:04,849 --> 03:52:02,939
for today we can leave the camera

5349
03:52:07,150 --> 03:52:04,859
configured for a little while longer but

5350
03:52:11,750 --> 03:52:07,160
at this time you are go for

5351
03:52:13,849 --> 03:52:11,760
4.012 and 4.300 as a reminder please

5352
03:52:18,830 --> 03:52:13,859
Stow the suits with the visors closed

5353
03:52:24,170 --> 03:52:21,650
okay Dragon copies we are go for four

5354
03:52:25,910 --> 03:52:24,180
decimal of zero one two and four decimal

5355
03:52:27,889 --> 03:52:25,920
of 300 we're going to keep the cameras

5356
03:52:29,920 --> 03:52:27,899
configured and then restore the suit

5357
03:52:32,150 --> 03:52:29,930
we'll do it with the advisors

5358
03:52:35,150 --> 03:52:32,160
[Applause]

5359
03:52:36,650 --> 03:52:35,160
good repack at this time you're also

5360
03:52:38,750 --> 03:52:36,660
going to tell the world a little bit

5361
03:52:44,990 --> 03:52:38,760
about that stowaway we saw shortly after

5362
03:52:45,000 --> 03:52:54,290
[Applause]

5363
03:52:59,809 --> 03:52:57,590
so we're standing by from a few words

5364
03:53:00,830 --> 03:52:59,819
standing by for a few words from the

5365
03:53:05,929 --> 03:53:00,840
crew

5366
03:53:23,530 --> 03:53:08,210
foreign

5367
03:53:29,750 --> 03:53:25,330
the last part of your trip

5368
03:53:33,410 --> 03:53:31,550
and no worries repeating my last one

5369
03:53:35,389 --> 03:53:33,420
there I was going to uh have you all

5370
03:53:37,370 --> 03:53:35,399
talk a little bit about your zero g

5371
03:53:40,070 --> 03:53:37,380
indicator uh but we could hold that up

5372
03:53:42,469 --> 03:53:40,080
for the next uh ground station pass here

5373
03:53:44,330 --> 03:53:42,479
for Dubai at this time what I'll do is

5374
03:53:46,070 --> 03:53:44,340
I'll take the cameras external or suit

5375
03:53:53,830 --> 03:53:46,080
nothing and then uh you let me know when

5376
03:53:56,990 --> 03:53:54,440
[Applause]

5377
03:53:57,480 --> 03:53:57,000
[Music]

5378
03:53:59,410 --> 03:53:57,490
[Applause]

5379
03:54:02,150 --> 03:53:59,420
[Music]

5380
03:54:06,469 --> 03:54:02,160
I guess

5381
03:54:11,990 --> 03:54:09,290
and it does sound like we are in a brief

5382
03:54:13,969 --> 03:54:12,000
expected loss of signal with the crew

5383
03:54:16,370 --> 03:54:13,979
this does happen from time to time when

5384
03:54:18,229 --> 03:54:16,380
we're in between our satellites but we

5385
03:54:20,450 --> 03:54:18,239
will have views and communication back

5386
03:54:23,330 --> 03:54:20,460
with them here shortly and we're looking

5387
03:54:25,910 --> 03:54:23,340
forward to hearing their words on their

5388
03:54:29,410 --> 03:54:25,920
stowaway and what that special meaning

5389
03:54:32,630 --> 03:54:29,420
is for the crew so with crew 5 now

5390
03:54:35,030 --> 03:54:32,640
successfully on orbit let's head over to

5391
03:54:39,170 --> 03:54:35,040
our counterparts at Kennedy Space Center

5392
03:54:41,630 --> 03:54:39,180
in Florida Daryl it was spectacular to

5393
03:54:43,130 --> 03:54:41,640
watch this launch from here in Hawthorne

5394
03:54:44,170 --> 03:54:43,140
but tell me what was it like to see it

5395
03:54:48,229 --> 03:54:44,180
on the ground

5396
03:54:51,050 --> 03:54:48,239
it was amazing first of all we got an

5397
03:54:52,610 --> 03:54:51,060
idyllic day right here uh on the Space

5398
03:54:54,950 --> 03:54:52,620
Coast I mean the temperatures are like

5399
03:54:57,889 --> 03:54:54,960
uh you know mid 70s there's a cool

5400
03:55:00,170 --> 03:54:57,899
breeze phenomenal launch Bob I want to

5401
03:55:02,990 --> 03:55:00,180
get your thoughts you've flown you've

5402
03:55:04,969 --> 03:55:03,000
watched this is pretty perfect no this

5403
03:55:06,410 --> 03:55:04,979
was just outstanding it was picturesque

5404
03:55:08,809 --> 03:55:06,420
you know with the blue sky the blue back

5405
03:55:11,269 --> 03:55:08,819
Crown a beautiful day here in Florida

5406
03:55:12,889 --> 03:55:11,279
the only thing I I wish was that I was

5407
03:55:14,809 --> 03:55:12,899
there with them because that is the one

5408
03:55:16,670 --> 03:55:14,819
place that is better to watch a launch

5409
03:55:18,650 --> 03:55:16,680
from uh than right here at the Kennedy

5410
03:55:21,170 --> 03:55:18,660
Space Center is on board the rocket ship

5411
03:55:22,729 --> 03:55:21,180
I gotta believe that and uh though we

5412
03:55:24,469 --> 03:55:22,739
weren't on board we did get to watch The

5413
03:55:26,929 --> 03:55:24,479
Views as we were going up and saw them

5414
03:55:29,809 --> 03:55:26,939
land the booster which by the way that

5415
03:55:33,110 --> 03:55:29,819
booster also going to be spacex's and

5416
03:55:35,030 --> 03:55:33,120
NASA's crew 6 booster so more the ReUse

5417
03:55:37,309 --> 03:55:35,040
NASA taking advantage of that as well

5418
03:55:39,950 --> 03:55:37,319
absolutely every chance that we get to

5419
03:55:41,929 --> 03:55:39,960
reuse a a capsule or reuse a booster

5420
03:55:43,969 --> 03:55:41,939
kind of drives down costs and uh

5421
03:55:46,189 --> 03:55:43,979
increases the opportunity for more folks

5422
03:55:48,830 --> 03:55:46,199
to fly in space now I'm headed out to

5423
03:55:51,229 --> 03:55:48,840
take a swim right yeah I mean this is

5424
03:55:53,030 --> 03:55:51,239
just perfect out here Bob thank you for

5425
03:55:54,889 --> 03:55:53,040
your thoughts um and now we're going to

5426
03:55:57,229 --> 03:55:54,899
move on we've got an interview here with

5427
03:55:59,389 --> 03:55:57,239
uh Robin gaytons the director of the

5428
03:56:01,250 --> 03:55:59,399
International Space Station who also

5429
03:56:03,469 --> 03:56:01,260
joins us here and you got to experience

5430
03:56:05,809 --> 03:56:03,479
the launch from right here uh outside

5431
03:56:08,090 --> 03:56:05,819
the the Press site and I want to ask you

5432
03:56:09,889 --> 03:56:08,100
how did you enjoy it well it's always

5433
03:56:11,389 --> 03:56:09,899
exciting to see launch to the

5434
03:56:14,689 --> 03:56:11,399
International Space Station I've seen

5435
03:56:17,210 --> 03:56:14,699
many but especially uh to see a new

5436
03:56:19,370 --> 03:56:17,220
international crew uh headed to the

5437
03:56:21,530 --> 03:56:19,380
International Space Station was was very

5438
03:56:24,110 --> 03:56:21,540
exciting and of course you nailed a

5439
03:56:25,849 --> 03:56:24,120
beautiful day really glad we we got this

5440
03:56:28,370 --> 03:56:25,859
one off today absolutely and they'll

5441
03:56:30,229 --> 03:56:28,380
make that 29-hour transit to the space

5442
03:56:31,729 --> 03:56:30,239
station you're the director of the

5443
03:56:33,710 --> 03:56:31,739
International Space Station so I want to

5444
03:56:37,130 --> 03:56:33,720
ask you I I heard there's a book coming

5445
03:56:38,389 --> 03:56:37,140
out uh that's uh there have been books

5446
03:56:40,490 --> 03:56:38,399
before about the International Space

5447
03:56:41,990 --> 03:56:40,500
Station but a new one's coming out tell

5448
03:56:44,630 --> 03:56:42,000
me a little bit about that yeah it's

5449
03:56:46,910 --> 03:56:44,640
called our benefits to humanity it is a

5450
03:56:48,950 --> 03:56:46,920
publication we have put out before and

5451
03:56:52,309 --> 03:56:48,960
we actually released it in July so it's

5452
03:56:55,189 --> 03:56:52,319
out uh it's both in print format as well

5453
03:56:57,349 --> 03:56:55,199
as online so people can just search on

5454
03:57:00,050 --> 03:56:57,359
benefits for Humanity International

5455
03:57:02,809 --> 03:57:00,060
Space Station and find that book and it

5456
03:57:04,910 --> 03:57:02,819
highlights all of the wonderful research

5457
03:57:07,790 --> 03:57:04,920
that's going on on the space station

5458
03:57:10,130 --> 03:57:07,800
This Crew will be doing doing over 200

5459
03:57:12,550 --> 03:57:10,140
experiments during their time on the

5460
03:57:16,309 --> 03:57:12,560
International Space Station ranging from

5461
03:57:19,790 --> 03:57:16,319
medical kinds of research that that will

5462
03:57:22,550 --> 03:57:19,800
help treat diseases and produce new new

5463
03:57:25,630 --> 03:57:22,560
drugs here on Earth regenerative

5464
03:57:29,150 --> 03:57:25,640
medicine one day we might even print

5465
03:57:31,670 --> 03:57:29,160
organs for transplant on Earth we have

5466
03:57:35,050 --> 03:57:31,680
earth science going on on Space Station

5467
03:57:38,030 --> 03:57:35,060
number of climate instruments to help us

5468
03:57:40,969 --> 03:57:38,040
understand earth's climate really

5469
03:57:43,309 --> 03:57:40,979
exciting results this is truly what we

5470
03:57:45,950 --> 03:57:43,319
call the decade of results on the

5471
03:57:49,969 --> 03:57:45,960
International Space Station where we're

5472
03:57:53,389 --> 03:57:49,979
we're building on past lessons and

5473
03:57:54,889 --> 03:57:53,399
capabilities to just compound the

5474
03:57:56,150 --> 03:57:54,899
results that we're able to get out of

5475
03:58:01,490 --> 03:57:56,160
the space station

5476
03:58:03,950 --> 03:58:01,500
and 235 investigations 76 new ones and

5477
03:58:05,330 --> 03:58:03,960
you mentioned the decade two decades

5478
03:58:08,269 --> 03:58:05,340
more than two decades the International

5479
03:58:10,309 --> 03:58:08,279
Space Station has been operating you

5480
03:58:11,450 --> 03:58:10,319
mentioned some of the science that

5481
03:58:13,070 --> 03:58:11,460
they're going to be doing I'm wondering

5482
03:58:14,929 --> 03:58:13,080
if you have a favorite that you've kind

5483
03:58:17,090 --> 03:58:14,939
of identified like oh I can't wait to

5484
03:58:18,769 --> 03:58:17,100
find out the results of that well I've

5485
03:58:20,389 --> 03:58:18,779
been tracking a lot of them

5486
03:58:23,030 --> 03:58:20,399
um I'm really excited about some of the

5487
03:58:26,330 --> 03:58:23,040
medical uh things uh we're flying again

5488
03:58:29,150 --> 03:58:26,340
a uh a payload by a company called Lam

5489
03:58:31,809 --> 03:58:29,160
Division and they're producing uh

5490
03:58:36,550 --> 03:58:31,819
retinal implants that could be used to

5491
03:58:38,990 --> 03:58:36,560
help patients with ocular degeneration

5492
03:58:41,809 --> 03:58:39,000
so that's really exciting I'm excited

5493
03:58:44,269 --> 03:58:41,819
about what we're learning

5494
03:58:46,070 --> 03:58:44,279
um you know with respect to the climate

5495
03:58:47,590 --> 03:58:46,080
we got brand new climate instruments up

5496
03:58:50,090 --> 03:58:47,600
on board

5497
03:58:52,429 --> 03:58:50,100
we've got companies learning how to make

5498
03:58:56,630 --> 03:58:52,439
better products through their research

5499
03:58:59,110 --> 03:58:56,640
on through the issn National Lab and

5500
03:59:01,729 --> 03:58:59,120
their their work on the space station so

5501
03:59:03,650 --> 03:59:01,739
I'm also excited about plant research

5502
03:59:05,150 --> 03:59:03,660
going on on Space Station I think that's

5503
03:59:08,510 --> 03:59:05,160
not only important for future

5504
03:59:11,210 --> 03:59:08,520
exploration missions but also to help us

5505
03:59:15,229 --> 03:59:11,220
grow plants in harsh environments small

5506
03:59:17,450 --> 03:59:15,239
spaces here on Earth and also NASA while

5507
03:59:20,450 --> 03:59:17,460
doing all of that is continuing to work

5508
03:59:22,490 --> 03:59:20,460
towards its ultimate goal of uh getting

5509
03:59:24,590 --> 03:59:22,500
to the moon going back to the moon and

5510
03:59:27,650 --> 03:59:24,600
sustaining our presence there a lot of

5511
03:59:29,269 --> 03:59:27,660
Technology at the station that works

5512
03:59:31,610 --> 03:59:29,279
towards that end we want to actually

5513
03:59:33,110 --> 03:59:31,620
pause though for one second because we

5514
03:59:36,590 --> 03:59:33,120
understand that one of the astronauts

5515
03:59:40,370 --> 03:59:36,600
Josh cassida has a statement that he is

5516
03:59:43,969 --> 03:59:40,380
going to make uh it uh it is relatively

5517
03:59:46,729 --> 03:59:43,979
about uh his zero g indicator which if

5518
03:59:48,290 --> 03:59:46,739
you saw on the coverage it was uh I

5519
03:59:50,150 --> 03:59:48,300
don't know if it was a baby Einstein Bob

5520
03:59:51,769 --> 03:59:50,160
but it was a little Einstein it

5521
03:59:53,210 --> 03:59:51,779
definitely looked like a small Einstein

5522
04:00:00,650 --> 03:59:53,220
but we'll listen to Josh and hear

5523
04:00:00,660 --> 04:00:10,250
let's listen in

5524
04:00:16,130 --> 04:00:13,790
again waiting for astronaut Josh cassida

5525
04:00:34,010 --> 04:00:16,140
with a special message

5526
04:00:39,469 --> 04:00:36,469
Dragon copies we are internal with the

5527
04:00:42,290 --> 04:00:39,479
weight bands off and stand by for the

5528
04:00:44,450 --> 04:00:42,300
cabin mic chain

5529
04:00:52,670 --> 04:00:44,460
did you see koichi wakada is out of his

5530
04:00:52,680 --> 04:00:56,570
the cabin mic contact

5531
04:01:04,670 --> 04:00:59,330
and koichi I've got you five by five how

5532
04:01:04,680 --> 04:01:08,809
would be loud and clear also

5533
04:01:12,769 --> 04:01:10,370
great news and we're also getting some

5534
04:01:14,269 --> 04:01:12,779
great views inside the capsule here so

5535
04:01:16,250 --> 04:01:14,279
if you all want to get a chance to talk

5536
04:01:22,370 --> 04:01:16,260
about your indicator we'd all love to

5537
04:01:27,290 --> 04:01:24,070
absolutely Mike

5538
04:01:30,110 --> 04:01:27,300
a couple years after

5539
04:01:31,910 --> 04:01:30,120
come up with his groundbreaking theory

5540
04:01:34,189 --> 04:01:31,920
of special relativity

5541
04:01:36,410 --> 04:01:34,199
Albert Einstein in his mind still had a

5542
04:01:38,570 --> 04:01:36,420
couple loose ends to tie up

5543
04:01:40,849 --> 04:01:38,580
while he was sitting in the patent

5544
04:01:42,889 --> 04:01:40,859
office because he wasn't famous yet

5545
04:01:45,410 --> 04:01:42,899
definitely should have been

5546
04:01:49,130 --> 04:01:45,420
he had

5547
04:01:51,050 --> 04:01:49,140
his happiest thought of his entire life

5548
04:01:53,269 --> 04:01:51,060
I thought was

5549
04:01:55,849 --> 04:01:53,279
person in free fall

5550
04:01:58,309 --> 04:01:55,859
doesn't feel their own weight

5551
04:01:59,929 --> 04:01:58,319
that thought along with the mothers that

5552
04:02:02,090 --> 04:01:59,939
he built upon

5553
04:02:04,189 --> 04:02:02,100
led to general relativity and our

5554
04:02:08,510 --> 04:02:04,199
understanding of gravitation and

5555
04:02:13,250 --> 04:02:11,150
we're experiencing Einstein's happiest

5556
04:02:15,050 --> 04:02:13,260
thoughts continuously

5557
04:02:19,670 --> 04:02:15,060
at the International Space Station has

5558
04:02:23,689 --> 04:02:21,710
on true five

5559
04:02:24,889 --> 04:02:23,699
all this little guy our free ball

5560
04:02:26,809 --> 04:02:24,899
indicator

5561
04:02:28,790 --> 04:02:26,819
we're here to tell you there's plenty of

5562
04:02:31,250 --> 04:02:28,800
gravity up here in fact that's what's

5563
04:02:32,990 --> 04:02:31,260
keeping us in orbit right now and

5564
04:02:35,450 --> 04:02:33,000
preventing this trip on a crew dragon

5565
04:02:37,910 --> 04:02:35,460
from being a one-way trip

5566
04:02:39,950 --> 04:02:37,920
a little bit like life

5567
04:02:41,870 --> 04:02:39,960
we live in the same world we live in the

5568
04:02:44,090 --> 04:02:41,880
same universe

5569
04:02:46,729 --> 04:02:44,100
sometimes we experience it in a very

5570
04:02:49,070 --> 04:02:46,739
different way from our neighbors

5571
04:02:51,410 --> 04:02:49,080
we can all keep that in mind

5572
04:02:53,269 --> 04:02:51,420
employees can all continue to do an

5573
04:03:00,460 --> 04:02:53,279
absolutely amazing thing

5574
04:03:00,470 --> 04:03:03,769
[Music]

5575
04:03:07,130 --> 04:03:05,330
well that was excellent Josh we

5576
04:03:08,210 --> 04:03:07,140
appreciate you all taking the chance to

5577
04:03:10,010 --> 04:03:08,220
share with us some of those special

5578
04:03:16,070 --> 04:03:10,020
words and some of the meanings to you

5579
04:03:19,130 --> 04:03:17,570
I'll tell you my crewmates are just

5580
04:03:23,110 --> 04:03:19,140
happy that we didn't break out a dry

5581
04:03:30,410 --> 04:03:24,290
[Music]

5582
04:03:35,870 --> 04:03:33,110
absolutely

5583
04:03:39,290 --> 04:03:35,880
a message from me at the time astronaut

5584
04:03:42,110 --> 04:03:39,300
Josh cassida a pilot of crew five and

5585
04:03:44,030 --> 04:03:42,120
his fellow astronauts and cosmonaut

5586
04:03:45,650 --> 04:03:44,040
floating in space high above the Earth

5587
04:03:48,110 --> 04:03:45,660
as they head to the International Space

5588
04:03:52,670 --> 04:03:48,120
Station with a special message about

5589
04:03:55,010 --> 04:03:52,680
Albert Einstein who is represented there

5590
04:03:57,590 --> 04:03:55,020
floating around space as the zero g

5591
04:04:00,469 --> 04:03:57,600
indicator but then also a nod to his

5592
04:04:03,050 --> 04:04:00,479
theory of relativity E equals m c

5593
04:04:04,670 --> 04:04:03,060
squared I believe Bob well there are a

5594
04:04:07,010 --> 04:04:04,680
lot of great things that Einstein was

5595
04:04:09,170 --> 04:04:07,020
responsible for and I would just say

5596
04:04:11,809 --> 04:04:09,180
that maybe there are five folks

5597
04:04:13,870 --> 04:04:11,819
experiencing his uh happiest thought on

5598
04:04:16,610 --> 04:04:13,880
board the Dragon capsule just right now

5599
04:04:19,070 --> 04:04:16,620
absolutely and NASA is looking to return

5600
04:04:20,809 --> 04:04:19,080
humans to the surface of the Moon and

5601
04:04:22,370 --> 04:04:20,819
this is part of it going to the

5602
04:04:24,950 --> 04:04:22,380
International Space Station we mentioned

5603
04:04:26,330 --> 04:04:24,960
some of the efforts in uh in going up

5604
04:04:28,130 --> 04:04:26,340
there and of course the science that's

5605
04:04:30,469 --> 04:04:28,140
going to be done by crew five we're

5606
04:04:32,269 --> 04:04:30,479
looking forward to that as well some

5607
04:04:33,050 --> 04:04:32,279
final thoughts uh Bob about the day

5608
04:04:34,910 --> 04:04:33,060
today

5609
04:04:36,769 --> 04:04:34,920
well it was just a wonderful day a

5610
04:04:38,750 --> 04:04:36,779
chance for me to relive the launch

5611
04:04:40,790 --> 04:04:38,760
experience with the Falcon 9 and the

5612
04:04:43,790 --> 04:04:40,800
Dragon capsule and I'm just super

5613
04:04:46,550 --> 04:04:43,800
excited for the uh the crew 5 and Little

5614
04:04:47,269 --> 04:04:46,560
Einstein on board and in free fall right

5615
04:04:49,189 --> 04:04:47,279
now

5616
04:04:50,990 --> 04:04:49,199
a very special moment indeed before we

5617
04:04:52,790 --> 04:04:51,000
wrap up I want to send it over to Megan

5618
04:04:55,429 --> 04:04:52,800
Cruz who is with Deputy Administrator

5619
04:04:56,929 --> 04:04:55,439
and former space shuttle astronaut Pam

5620
04:04:58,610 --> 04:04:56,939
melroy

5621
04:05:00,469 --> 04:04:58,620
I am Pam and I've just been chatting

5622
04:05:03,290 --> 04:05:00,479
about how wonderful of a day this was

5623
04:05:05,689 --> 04:05:03,300
for a launch oh it's a gorgeous day here

5624
04:05:07,610 --> 04:05:05,699
at the historic Kennedy Space Center for

5625
04:05:09,349 --> 04:05:07,620
me to see the next generation of launch

5626
04:05:11,030 --> 04:05:09,359
Vehicles launching to the space station

5627
04:05:13,070 --> 04:05:11,040
was thrilling and also the next

5628
04:05:14,750 --> 04:05:13,080
generation of young explorers you know

5629
04:05:17,990 --> 04:05:14,760
you and I were talking about a young boy

5630
04:05:20,510 --> 04:05:18,000
here guys that bought a a space suit an

5631
04:05:22,429 --> 04:05:20,520
astronaut suit from downstairs at our uh

5632
04:05:23,870 --> 04:05:22,439
our store and was wearing it around and

5633
04:05:25,670 --> 04:05:23,880
running around how cute was that to see

5634
04:05:27,530 --> 04:05:25,680
him so excited well I found it pretty

5635
04:05:29,330 --> 04:05:27,540
cute to see the three rookies who were

5636
04:05:31,849 --> 04:05:29,340
on the flight as well as my very dear

5637
04:05:35,630 --> 04:05:31,859
personal friend koichiwakata who I flew

5638
04:05:37,550 --> 04:05:35,640
with in 2000 to the space station so I'm

5639
04:05:39,229 --> 04:05:37,560
inspired by both The Young and the

5640
04:05:40,910 --> 04:05:39,239
experienced and speak to me about that

5641
04:05:42,769 --> 04:05:40,920
that like you said you you've flown on

5642
04:05:44,570 --> 04:05:42,779
the space shuttle three times talk to me

5643
04:05:45,849 --> 04:05:44,580
about that Ascent how it must feel as

5644
04:05:48,889 --> 04:05:45,859
they're going up through the atmosphere

5645
04:05:50,809 --> 04:05:48,899
it's absolutely a remarkable experience

5646
04:05:53,269 --> 04:05:50,819
and I found myself thinking as I was

5647
04:05:56,150 --> 04:05:53,279
looking at the the schedule for this

5648
04:05:58,849 --> 04:05:56,160
rocket how physics drives so much of

5649
04:06:00,189 --> 04:05:58,859
what we do so it's very similar in the

5650
04:06:02,870 --> 04:06:00,199
timing of everything

5651
04:06:04,849 --> 04:06:02,880
but the space shuttle was a little bit

5652
04:06:06,530 --> 04:06:04,859
of a wild ride I have to say it had a

5653
04:06:08,750 --> 04:06:06,540
lot of vibration particularly the first

5654
04:06:10,429 --> 04:06:08,760
two minutes but you know it's a very

5655
04:06:13,189 --> 04:06:10,439
different experience when you're here on

5656
04:06:15,290 --> 04:06:13,199
the ground it always brings tears to my

5657
04:06:18,170 --> 04:06:15,300
eyes I pray for the crew when you're

5658
04:06:19,550 --> 04:06:18,180
inside the vehicle you're having a blast

5659
04:06:21,469 --> 04:06:19,560
so I'm glad to hear that they were

5660
04:06:23,090 --> 04:06:21,479
having a blast talk to me about why

5661
04:06:25,309 --> 04:06:23,100
these commercial crew missions are so

5662
04:06:28,070 --> 04:06:25,319
important well they're really important

5663
04:06:30,889 --> 04:06:28,080
to us for a lot of different reasons the

5664
04:06:32,750 --> 04:06:30,899
whole value that NASA brings to the

5665
04:06:34,510 --> 04:06:32,760
American people and in fact to humanity

5666
04:06:37,790 --> 04:06:34,520
is around science

5667
04:06:41,389 --> 04:06:37,800
a strong Science and Technology posture

5668
04:06:42,889 --> 04:06:41,399
for the country and inspiration and we

5669
04:06:45,590 --> 04:06:42,899
see that all wrapped up in commercial

5670
04:06:47,389 --> 04:06:45,600
crew because we see the ability to do

5671
04:06:49,910 --> 04:06:47,399
more science on orbit because we can

5672
04:06:51,830 --> 04:06:49,920
carry more crew members we see the

5673
04:06:53,809 --> 04:06:51,840
advancements that have been made through

5674
04:06:56,809 --> 04:06:53,819
NASA investments in commercial crew and

5675
04:06:58,969 --> 04:06:56,819
Commercial cargo that are lifting our

5676
04:07:00,590 --> 04:06:58,979
entire space industry and of course

5677
04:07:02,510 --> 04:07:00,600
there's nothing better than seeing an

5678
04:07:05,030 --> 04:07:02,520
astronaut fly to space for inspiration

5679
04:07:06,530 --> 04:07:05,040
sure and what's next for NASA you know

5680
04:07:08,689 --> 04:07:06,540
right behind us we have the Vehicle

5681
04:07:10,969 --> 04:07:08,699
Assembly Building inside is NASA's

5682
04:07:13,550 --> 04:07:10,979
Artemis one rocket are you excited for

5683
04:07:15,349 --> 04:07:13,560
that oh I'm I'm very excited I'll tell

5684
04:07:18,110 --> 04:07:15,359
you it's a big deal when a new rocket

5685
04:07:21,050 --> 04:07:18,120
flies for the first time and we have

5686
04:07:23,150 --> 04:07:21,060
learned a lot we we have a lot to learn

5687
04:07:25,189 --> 04:07:23,160
just like I was a test pilot so when we

5688
04:07:26,929 --> 04:07:25,199
flew airplanes we never actually

5689
04:07:29,269 --> 04:07:26,939
launched the first try usually we just

5690
04:07:30,830 --> 04:07:29,279
taxied down the runway so we've we've

5691
04:07:33,349 --> 04:07:30,840
taken her out to the runway a couple of

5692
04:07:35,269 --> 04:07:33,359
times now and we've learned a lot and I

5693
04:07:38,210 --> 04:07:35,279
cannot wait to see the most powerful

5694
04:07:39,469 --> 04:07:38,220
rocket in the world launch going to the

5695
04:07:41,090 --> 04:07:39,479
Moon yeah we're doing a lot of great

5696
04:07:43,189 --> 04:07:41,100
stuff here and we're so happy to bring

5697
04:07:45,590 --> 04:07:43,199
viewers on the ride with us right you

5698
04:07:47,210 --> 04:07:45,600
bet that's the whole idea NASA shares

5699
04:07:48,830 --> 04:07:47,220
and inspires perfect Pam thank you so

5700
04:07:49,910 --> 04:07:48,840

prior to docking and though our coverage

5715
04:08:24,290 --> 04:08:22,380
here at Kennedy is coming to a close we

5716
04:08:26,990 --> 04:08:24,300
will turn it over to the team in Houston

5717
04:08:29,030 --> 04:08:27,000
to take us through the next phases of

5718
04:08:31,429 --> 04:08:29,040
the crew 5 Mission all the way through

5719
04:08:33,110 --> 04:08:31,439

Building looking forward to seeing that

5763
04:10:12,710 --> 04:10:10,560
back out on pad and getting her launch

5764
04:10:16,010 --> 04:10:12,720
later this year coming to a launch pad

5765
04:10:17,809 --> 04:10:16,020
soon mid-november we all hope and we're

5766
04:10:20,389 --> 04:10:17,819
looking forward to that as well

are the highlights from the journey we

5771
04:10:31,189 --> 04:10:29,160
took today and just a reminder from here

5772
04:10:38,269 --> 04:10:31,199
at the Kennedy Space Center to keep

5773
04:10:43,189 --> 04:10:40,790
they're getting suited up inside that

5774
04:10:46,450 --> 04:10:43,199
historic Suit Up Room everything going

5775
04:10:51,050 --> 04:10:48,710
