later on at T minus one hour we will

41
00:27:07,610 --> 00:27:05,700
welcome in SpaceX live from Hawthorne

42
00:27:09,890 --> 00:27:07,620
California but let's begin quickly with

43
00:27:11,930 --> 00:27:09,900
a recap of the first launch attempt

44
00:27:13,909 --> 00:27:11,940
early Sunday morning the day started

45
00:27:15,769 --> 00:27:13,919
here with the crew signing the mission

46
00:27:17,210 --> 00:27:15,779
patch inside crew Quarters at the Neil

47
00:27:18,890 --> 00:27:17,220
Armstrong operations and checkout

48
00:27:20,810 --> 00:27:18,900
building they went through the entire

49
00:27:23,510 --> 00:27:20,820
process of suit up and transport to the

50
00:27:25,789 --> 00:27:23,520
pad where they ingressed into the Dragon

51
00:27:29,029 --> 00:27:25,799
capsule the countdown moved along

52
00:27:31,430 --> 00:27:29,039
smoothly until reduced flow in an engine

53
00:27:33,590 --> 00:27:31,440
ignition fluid line was detected by the

54
00:27:35,510 --> 00:27:33,600
launch Team the launch was scrubbed with

55
00:27:37,730 --> 00:27:35,520
less than three minutes in the count the

56
00:27:40,909 --> 00:27:37,740
astronauts remained in the capsule until

57
00:27:42,590 --> 00:27:40,919
the rocket was completely detanked a

58
00:27:44,269 --> 00:27:42,600
disappointing moment for the astronauts

59
00:27:46,250 --> 00:27:44,279
certainly Raja yeah I mean I think

60
00:27:47,930 --> 00:27:46,260
they're obviously like an instantaneous

61
00:27:49,070 --> 00:27:47,940
uh you know instead of a little bit of

62
00:27:51,350 --> 00:27:49,080
disappointment but obviously the right

63
00:27:52,970 --> 00:27:51,360
safe thing to do and the team all knows

64
00:27:54,649 --> 00:27:52,980
that and so they're ready to Ray to do

65
00:27:56,269 --> 00:27:54,659
it again today and have learned from all

66
00:27:57,769 --> 00:27:56,279
that and some great lessons learned and

67
00:27:59,269 --> 00:27:57,779
now we want to focus on the front doors

68
00:28:01,010 --> 00:27:59,279
of the astronaut crew quarters where

69
00:28:03,049 --> 00:28:01,020
those astronauts are ready to walk out

70
00:28:04,669 --> 00:28:03,059
we saw him briefly in the window and

71
00:28:08,090 --> 00:28:04,679
they are ready to go

72
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:13,430
be doing it for a second time

73
00:28:16,789 --> 00:28:15,230
yep and we see the uh the stickers

74
00:28:18,049 --> 00:28:16,799
around the outside so they got a chance

75
00:28:20,149 --> 00:28:18,059
when they came back from the scrub to

76
00:28:21,830 --> 00:28:20,159
smack their crew six sticker on the way

77
00:28:26,930 --> 00:28:21,840
in so some extra luck for tonight

78
00:28:29,930 --> 00:28:28,310
and we're going to try and give them

79
00:28:37,130 --> 00:28:29,940
some more good luck along the way we'll

80
00:28:42,590 --> 00:28:39,529
you see the sign above them with the

81
00:28:45,950 --> 00:28:44,330
now and one of the reasons we didn't

82
00:28:48,950 --> 00:28:45,960
show some earlier suit up tonight was uh

83
00:28:54,409 --> 00:28:52,490
and here they come crew six

84
00:28:56,269 --> 00:28:54,419
walking outside of astronaut crew

85
00:28:59,269 --> 00:28:56,279
quarters for the second time

86
00:29:01,490 --> 00:28:59,279
hoping to make the flight happen

87
00:29:02,289 --> 00:29:01,500
all right countdown left to right Chris

88
00:29:04,789 --> 00:29:02,299
please

89
00:29:07,909 --> 00:29:04,799
Andre fedayev

90
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:07,919
Woody hoberg Stephen Bowen and sultan

91
00:29:11,330 --> 00:29:10,510
olneyadi

92
00:29:18,830 --> 00:29:11,340
[Music]

93
00:29:20,830 --> 00:29:18,840
[Applause]

94
00:29:35,950 --> 00:29:20,840
Ator yeah

95
00:29:40,130 --> 00:29:38,269
you can see in the background there the

96
00:29:41,269 --> 00:29:40,140
the SpaceX Personnel getting ready to

97
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:41,279
take them out in their Teslas they're

98
00:29:48,370 --> 00:29:43,500
pre-positioning their cooling packs

99
00:29:53,210 --> 00:29:50,930
sounds like our microphone is close to

100
00:29:54,889 --> 00:29:53,220
Mission Specialists it is yep close to

101
00:29:56,810 --> 00:29:54,899
the UAE area

102
00:30:01,010 --> 00:29:56,820
and looking at uh

103
00:30:05,210 --> 00:30:03,409
there's Andre so a great chance for the

104
00:30:07,310 --> 00:30:05,220
the friends family loved ones to come

105
00:30:09,470 --> 00:30:07,320
out and say say uh

106
00:30:10,669 --> 00:30:09,480
good luck and see you later to the

107
00:30:12,470 --> 00:30:10,679
astronauts you saw the administrator

108
00:30:14,330 --> 00:30:12,480
Nelson and Pam wildroyd out at the end

109
00:30:16,610 --> 00:30:14,340
there

110
00:30:19,990 --> 00:30:16,620
the back of her head and then the

111
00:30:24,769 --> 00:30:22,850
they're doing this what's the kind of

112
00:30:27,470 --> 00:30:24,779
the mindset now is as you see your

113
00:30:28,909 --> 00:30:27,480
family now for the second time it's

114
00:30:30,409 --> 00:30:28,919
actually kind of nice because you get a

115
00:30:32,510 --> 00:30:30,419
little bit of time in between that scrub

116
00:30:33,769 --> 00:30:32,520
and this time to have you know you know

117
00:30:35,090 --> 00:30:33,779
you build up to a lot of it thinking

118
00:30:36,110 --> 00:30:35,100
you're not going to have a whole lot of

119
00:30:37,250 --> 00:30:36,120
time then you get a little bit of extra

120
00:30:38,510 --> 00:30:37,260
time with your family I'm sorry I

121
00:30:40,250 --> 00:30:38,520
misspoke that wasn't Pat Miller there's

122
00:30:43,010 --> 00:30:40,260
Katie Maynard down there but yeah it's

123
00:30:44,330 --> 00:30:43,020
it's actually uh it's definitely busy so

124
00:30:45,830 --> 00:30:44,340
inside career course we talk about that

125
00:30:47,630 --> 00:30:45,840
later there's there's plenty of Sims in

126
00:30:53,090 --> 00:30:47,640
there but it's a nice chance to have a

127
00:30:56,389 --> 00:30:54,830
and you were able to have some

128
00:30:58,430 --> 00:30:56,399
communication with the commander during

129
00:31:00,409 --> 00:30:58,440
the down time what uh what did he say

130
00:31:02,630 --> 00:31:00,419
about kind of their mindset well so

131
00:31:04,669 --> 00:31:02,640
Steve uh commented that this is you know

132
00:31:05,810 --> 00:31:04,679
essentially all in today's life uh Woody

133
00:31:07,490 --> 00:31:05,820
pointed out that this is almost like a

134
00:31:08,630 --> 00:31:07,500
free training SIM for him so and that's

135
00:31:09,889 --> 00:31:08,640
kind of one of the reasons we saw them

136
00:31:11,330 --> 00:31:09,899
ahead of timeline tonight in the suit up

137
00:31:12,950 --> 00:31:11,340
room is they've done it all before so a

138
00:31:14,450 --> 00:31:12,960
lot of uh doing something the second

139
00:31:15,889 --> 00:31:14,460
time makes it a lot easier so they

140
00:31:17,990 --> 00:31:15,899
essentially had another another free

141
00:31:20,690 --> 00:31:18,000
dress rehearsal to practice it all

142
00:31:25,370 --> 00:31:20,700
there's Woody hoberg

143
00:31:30,289 --> 00:31:26,810
you can see there's a sense of

144
00:31:31,610 --> 00:31:30,299
familiarity as they get into the Teslas

145
00:31:34,610 --> 00:31:31,620
yep and now you can see administer

146
00:31:36,710 --> 00:31:34,620
Nelson there uh the bottom right and

147
00:31:38,810 --> 00:31:36,720
then Bob caban is just to his right and

148
00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:38,820
I think that's Calvin Manning to his

149
00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:43,200
right the deputy Kennedy Center Director

150
00:31:47,090 --> 00:31:45,360
so definitely a sign of the importance

151
00:31:48,350 --> 00:31:47,100
of this mission to have all the

152
00:31:50,149 --> 00:31:48,360
headquarters folks come down here stay

153
00:31:51,409 --> 00:31:50,159
down here the crew's not the only ones

154
00:31:54,110 --> 00:31:51,419
that stays down here between scrubs they

155
00:31:55,970 --> 00:31:54,120
do too so it's a all hands on deck so

156
00:31:58,190 --> 00:31:55,980
the second Tesla the doors are closed

157
00:32:00,049 --> 00:31:58,200
for the commander and the pilot for the

158
00:32:02,930 --> 00:32:00,059
mission and behind them the admission

159
00:32:04,549 --> 00:32:02,940
Specialists and that second Tesla they

160
00:32:06,950 --> 00:32:04,559
also include the flight surgeon They

161
00:32:08,990 --> 00:32:06,960
Ride Along and then in the third Tesla

162
00:32:11,630 --> 00:32:09,000
those astronauts are with a second

163
00:32:13,909 --> 00:32:11,640
closeout lead they take some of the

164
00:32:15,049 --> 00:32:13,919
closeout team with them on the way to

165
00:32:17,690 --> 00:32:15,059
the pad and take a look at the license

166
00:32:19,909 --> 00:32:17,700
plate we saw this last time crew dragon

167
00:32:21,830 --> 00:32:19,919
with a number six

168
00:32:23,750 --> 00:32:21,840
for the G

169
00:32:25,010 --> 00:32:23,760
yeah and this time I know so last time I

170
00:32:26,750 --> 00:32:25,020
was surprised to find out that it

171
00:32:28,130 --> 00:32:26,760
changes his time I was thought that it

172
00:32:29,330 --> 00:32:28,140
always said send it with a three but it

173
00:32:32,269 --> 00:32:29,340
turns out that was only for crew three

174
00:32:33,950 --> 00:32:32,279
so crew 3 was a special edition maybe

175
00:32:35,090 --> 00:32:33,960
not special enough for to put it on

176
00:32:35,730 --> 00:32:35,100
everything maybe I've been watching that

177
00:32:39,710 --> 00:32:35,740
video too much

178
00:32:43,370 --> 00:32:41,690
you see uh Nora is at the back of that

179
00:32:46,430 --> 00:32:43,380
third car she's uh in the new class of

180
00:32:48,049 --> 00:32:46,440
astronaut candidates from the UAE

181
00:32:50,990 --> 00:32:48,059
training with who we call the Flies

182
00:32:54,169 --> 00:32:51,000
which is the 2021 class

183
00:32:59,149 --> 00:32:56,630
new partnership with the UAE for

184
00:33:01,250 --> 00:32:59,159
commercial crew and now the families get

185
00:33:02,930 --> 00:33:01,260
to go up to the window

186
00:33:04,370 --> 00:33:02,940
yeah man you just saw huzzah leave the

187
00:33:06,769 --> 00:33:04,380
frame who was the first astronaut from

188
00:33:07,909 --> 00:33:06,779
the UAE to go into space and then he and

189
00:33:09,649 --> 00:33:07,919
Sultan actually trained together in

190
00:33:11,810 --> 00:33:09,659
Russia and then huzzah has been Sultan's

191
00:33:13,009 --> 00:33:11,820
back up here in the U.S so uh a long

192
00:33:14,690 --> 00:33:13,019
partnership between the two of them

193
00:33:17,269 --> 00:33:14,700
training together both in Russia and

194
00:33:19,610 --> 00:33:17,279
here and we'll hear from Hassan a little

195
00:33:21,889 --> 00:33:19,620
bit later on in the show our own Jasmine

196
00:33:23,210 --> 00:33:21,899
Hopkins is uh going to be interviewing

197
00:33:25,490 --> 00:33:23,220
him again tonight

198
00:33:26,810 --> 00:33:25,500
look forward to getting the words from

199
00:33:29,570 --> 00:33:26,820
him and find out

200
00:33:37,509 --> 00:33:29,580
he was able to catch up with Sultan and

201
00:33:41,389 --> 00:33:40,070
so the final chance here so when they

202
00:33:43,310 --> 00:33:41,399
get in the Tesla's there they actually

203
00:33:44,509 --> 00:33:43,320
hook them up to cooling boxes so I

204
00:33:46,250 --> 00:33:44,519
mentioned before you saw the SpaceX

205
00:33:47,570 --> 00:33:46,260
people kind of going behind the scenes

206
00:33:49,070 --> 00:33:47,580
they get those positions in the Teslas

207
00:33:50,330 --> 00:33:49,080
so that's why there's some more time and

208
00:33:51,529 --> 00:33:50,340
they use every second they can to talk

209
00:33:52,850 --> 00:33:51,539
to the families which is why they have

210
00:33:54,649 --> 00:33:52,860
the windows down still chatting with

211
00:33:56,450 --> 00:33:54,659
them while the flight docs connect their

212
00:33:59,090 --> 00:33:56,460
suit umbilicals to those cooling boxes

213
00:34:00,950 --> 00:33:59,100
and essentially this pumps cool air into

214
00:34:02,930 --> 00:34:00,960
the suit is in the warm humid Florida

215
00:34:04,070 --> 00:34:02,940
whether it can get somewhat sweaty in

216
00:34:05,509 --> 00:34:04,080
there if you don't have some cool air

217
00:34:11,510 --> 00:34:05,519
flowing through it right especially in

218
00:34:15,829 --> 00:34:13,490
did you roll down your window when uh

219
00:34:17,930 --> 00:34:15,839
you were riding out I saw during demo

220
00:34:19,970 --> 00:34:17,940
two Bob and Doug rolled down the window

221
00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:19,980
briefly we did initially but that put

222
00:34:24,950 --> 00:34:23,040
him up uh once we got going and here we

223
00:34:26,690 --> 00:34:24,960
go with the crew departing the Neil

224
00:34:29,210 --> 00:34:26,700

00:34:38,750 --> 00:34:36,839

229
00:34:40,909 --> 00:34:38,760

right now Raj as you know

231
00:34:45,710 --> 00:34:43,560
in that first car if you want to look up

232
00:34:47,869 --> 00:34:45,720

233
00:34:50,450 --> 00:34:47,879
they're listening to well Stephen and

234

Walker Spaceman by Harry Nielsen

241
00:35:15,410 --> 00:35:13,609
they got quite a playlist as well yes

242
00:35:17,089 --> 00:35:15,420
what did you listen to so this is a

243
00:35:18,530 --> 00:35:17,099
collaborate it was a collaboration so uh

244
00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:18,540
Tom and I were in the first car and then

245
00:35:23,089 --> 00:35:20,640
Kayla and Matthias had a mix of uh us

246
00:35:24,589 --> 00:35:23,099
and German songs uh so there was it was

247
00:35:26,630 --> 00:35:24,599
it's like you said it's kind of the

248
00:35:28,849 --> 00:35:26,640
emotional setup for the ride I think the

249
00:35:30,770 --> 00:35:28,859
other benefit of a scrub uh was we had

250
00:35:32,930 --> 00:35:30,780
the benefit of having uh multiple trips

251
00:35:35,510 --> 00:35:32,940
out there is that the person uh who's

252
00:35:37,910 --> 00:35:35,520
your DJ has the chance to actually zero

253
00:35:39,470 --> 00:35:37,920
in the songs and so uh Melissa who's our

254
00:35:41,150 --> 00:35:39,480
chief trainer at SpaceX actually took

255
00:35:44,510 --> 00:35:41,160
the time while we were in quarantine to

256
00:35:46,430 --> 00:35:44,520
like mix together like a a 2021 version

257
00:35:49,670 --> 00:35:46,440
of a mixtape um so that we could just

play it on on uh on the iPod they had in

259
00:35:52,609 --> 00:35:51,240
there and time it so that exactly as we

00:37:59,390 --> 00:37:57,060
trip

318
00:38:02,030 --> 00:37:59,400
sitting next to Stephen is pilot Warren

319
00:38:04,250 --> 00:38:02,040
Woody hoberg the 37-year-old is from

320
00:38:06,410 --> 00:38:04,260
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania he studied

321
00:38:08,690 --> 00:38:06,420
Aeronautics and astronautics from MIT

322
00:38:10,670 --> 00:38:08,700
before getting a doctorate in electrical

323
00:38:12,770 --> 00:38:10,680
engineering and computer science from

324
00:38:15,470 --> 00:38:12,780
the University of California Berkeley

325
00:38:17,810 --> 00:38:15,480
during grad school hoberg worked as an

326
00:38:20,030 --> 00:38:17,820
EMT with the Yosemite search and rescue

327
00:38:21,950 --> 00:38:20,040
crew 6 will be hoberg's first flight

328
00:38:24,530 --> 00:38:21,960
since NASA selected him to be an

329
00:38:26,750 --> 00:38:24,540
astronaut in 2017. he is also a

330
00:38:29,089 --> 00:38:26,760
commercial pilot with instrument single

331
00:38:30,589 --> 00:38:29,099
engine and multi-engine ratings as pilot

332
00:38:33,349 --> 00:38:30,599
for cruise six he will be responsible

333
00:38:35,930 --> 00:38:33,359
for spacecraft systems and performance

334
00:38:39,290 --> 00:38:35,940
aboard the station he will serve as an

335
00:38:40,849 --> 00:38:39,300
expedition 68 and 69 flight engineer and

336
00:38:42,349 --> 00:38:40,859
his and most important rule is to

337
00:38:44,990 --> 00:38:42,359
continue the presence of turtles on the

338
00:38:46,550 --> 00:38:45,000
space station so what he also commonly

339
00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:46,560
refer to as the smartest Turtle but also

340
00:38:51,370 --> 00:38:47,760
the most humble one you wouldn't know

341
00:38:55,190 --> 00:38:53,510
you just heard the core call for a

342
00:38:56,329 --> 00:38:55,200
countdown uh comment for the career

343
00:38:58,550 --> 00:38:56,339
arrival but yeah all those things what

344
00:39:00,470 --> 00:38:58,560
he's done by themselves would be amazing

345
00:39:02,329 --> 00:39:00,480
let alone in combination

346
00:39:05,150 --> 00:39:02,339
in the role of mission specialist is

347
00:39:07,250 --> 00:39:05,160
astronaut Sultan al-niadi he was chosen

348
00:39:09,950 --> 00:39:07,260
by the Mohammed bin Rasheed space center

349
00:39:13,310 --> 00:39:09,960
of the United Arab Emirates to be part

350
00:39:15,890 --> 00:39:13,320
of expedition 6869 the father of five

351
00:39:18,710 --> 00:39:15,900
spent most of his life in Alain and Abu

352
00:39:21,290 --> 00:39:18,720
Dhabi but in 2020 traded that in for

353
00:39:23,569 --> 00:39:21,300
Astronaut training in Houston at NASA's

354
00:39:25,849 --> 00:39:23,579
Johnson Space Center this will be his

355
00:39:28,550 --> 00:39:25,859
first trip to space you're familiar with

356
00:39:30,950 --> 00:39:28,560
flying with a bunch of rookies exactly

357
00:39:33,349 --> 00:39:30,960
and uh can't under State how important

358
00:39:35,569 --> 00:39:33,359
this is the first UAE astronaut going up

359
00:39:37,730 --> 00:39:35,579
on a U.S commercial vehicle to the U.S

360
00:39:39,710 --> 00:39:37,740
segment of the station this is amazing

361
00:39:41,930 --> 00:39:39,720
uh the fruit you know coming to fruition

362
00:39:43,970 --> 00:39:41,940
of a long partnership and a lot of work

363
00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:43,980
to get us here we saw a shot of the

364
00:39:48,650 --> 00:39:46,560
Vehicle Assembly Building dead ahead and

365
00:39:51,589 --> 00:39:48,660
they'll get up make that right hand turn

366
00:39:53,450 --> 00:39:51,599
and go right by it talking about the

367
00:39:55,790 --> 00:39:53,460
mission Specialists it's also the first

368
00:39:58,550 --> 00:39:55,800
trip to space for the second mission

369
00:40:01,790 --> 00:39:58,560
specialist Ross Cosmos Cosmonaut Andre

370
00:40:04,310 --> 00:40:01,800
fedev Andre was elected as a cosmonaut

371
00:40:05,930 --> 00:40:04,320
back in 2012 he will be working to

372
00:40:08,210 --> 00:40:05,940
monitor the spacecraft during the

373
00:40:10,790 --> 00:40:08,220
dynamic launch and re-entry phases of

374
00:40:13,310 --> 00:40:10,800
flight and once on board station he will

375
00:40:16,010 --> 00:40:13,320
be a flight engineer for expeditions 68

376
00:40:17,569 --> 00:40:16,020
and 69. yeah and great to have Andre on

377
00:40:19,010 --> 00:40:17,579
board I flew out here and back with

378
00:40:20,630 --> 00:40:19,020
Christina cook for the first launch

379
00:40:22,250 --> 00:40:20,640
attempt and she knows him and just says

380
00:40:23,569 --> 00:40:22,260
just an amazingly big heart and it's

381
00:40:25,790 --> 00:40:23,579
going to be a joy to work with on the

382
00:40:28,730 --> 00:40:25,800
space station missed getting into space

383
00:40:30,650 --> 00:40:28,740
on his 42nd birthday the other day but

384
00:40:34,609 --> 00:40:30,660
I'm sure he'll take a belated birthday

385
00:40:36,290 --> 00:40:34,619
present in the form of a launch tonight

386
00:40:45,650 --> 00:40:36,300
I'm sure they had some extra cake back

387
00:40:48,349 --> 00:40:47,390
so we also got to break in we mentioned

388
00:40:49,910 --> 00:40:48,359
last time it's the first time they're

389
00:40:52,849 --> 00:40:49,920
using the black Teslas versus the white

390
00:40:54,650 --> 00:40:52,859
Teslas so not sure if maybe Cruise 6 May

391
00:40:57,349 --> 00:40:54,660
maybe have Zapped the windshields an

392
00:40:58,849 --> 00:40:57,359
extra time to cop for their second trip

393
00:41:00,410 --> 00:40:58,859
out there so there's definitely some

394
00:41:02,750 --> 00:41:00,420
room to be filled on these wind chills

395
00:41:04,910 --> 00:41:02,760
and maybe hide some stickers a few

396
00:41:07,370 --> 00:41:04,920
places where they find after the fact

397
00:41:09,230 --> 00:41:07,380
yeah those stickers will uh you know get

398
00:41:11,870 --> 00:41:09,240
to go on those Teslas for the first time

399
00:41:14,510 --> 00:41:11,880
since SpaceX told us they're expanding

400
00:41:15,530 --> 00:41:14,520
their Fleet of ride out Vehicles we know

401
00:41:17,810 --> 00:41:15,540
they're getting close because I can hear

402
00:41:19,970 --> 00:41:17,820
the helicopter There It Is Passing

403
00:41:23,810 --> 00:41:19,980
overhead as they pass in front of the

404
00:41:27,290 --> 00:41:23,820
Kennedy Space Center uh VAB and just a

405
00:41:29,690 --> 00:41:27,300
few feet away from the turn basin

406
00:41:33,710 --> 00:41:29,700
and while we're looking at the VAB the

407
00:41:35,810 --> 00:41:33,720
home of the Artemis One mission and all

408
00:41:37,609 --> 00:41:35,820
Artemis missions

409
00:41:39,109 --> 00:41:37,619
it's a good time to talk about what

410
00:41:40,730 --> 00:41:39,119
happened at the turn Basin the other day

411
00:41:42,950 --> 00:41:40,740
they're getting ready to pass by that

412
00:41:47,210 --> 00:41:42,960
body of water as we see some folks

413
00:41:49,490 --> 00:41:47,220
waving at those cars as they go by

414
00:41:51,410 --> 00:41:49,500
several weeks ago NASA's recovery team

415
00:41:53,870 --> 00:41:51,420
was in the water

416
00:41:56,690 --> 00:41:53,880
training to return NASA astronauts after

417
00:41:58,849 --> 00:41:56,700
a flight back from the Moon

418
00:42:00,650 --> 00:41:58,859
so as they get ready to pass this part

419
00:42:02,210 --> 00:42:00,660
of the Kennedy Space Center

420
00:42:08,589 --> 00:42:02,220
let's get an update about what happened

421
00:42:14,150 --> 00:42:11,329
right now NASA scientists and Engineers

422
00:42:15,950 --> 00:42:14,160
are preparing for Artemis 2. the mission

423
00:42:18,829 --> 00:42:15,960
will send four astronauts on a trip

424
00:42:21,230 --> 00:42:18,839
around the moon in 2024 but before that

425
00:42:23,089 --> 00:42:21,240
happens test crews are practicing how to

426
00:42:25,430 --> 00:42:23,099
recover astronauts from the Orion

427
00:42:26,930 --> 00:42:25,440
spacecraft after splashing down in the

428
00:42:29,569 --> 00:42:26,940
Pacific Ocean

429
00:42:32,210 --> 00:42:29,579
this black full-scale replica capsule

430
00:42:35,089 --> 00:42:32,220
named Vader stands for vehicle advance

431
00:42:36,589 --> 00:42:35,099
demonstrator for emergency rescue it

432
00:42:38,210 --> 00:42:36,599
spent the last couple of weeks in the

433
00:42:41,810 --> 00:42:38,220
turn Basin here at the Kennedy Space

434
00:42:44,569 --> 00:42:41,820
Center where it was floated on the water

435
00:42:46,910 --> 00:42:44,579
and tested

436
00:42:49,490 --> 00:42:46,920
Crews practice opening the hatch and

437
00:42:51,050 --> 00:42:49,500
installing an inflatable porch an

438
00:42:53,210 --> 00:42:51,060
important piece of equipment to make

439
00:42:56,510 --> 00:42:53,220
sure astronauts can be recovered safely

440
00:42:58,130 --> 00:42:56,520
if needed adjustments will be made and

441
00:43:00,470 --> 00:42:58,140
then it will be shipped to San Diego

442
00:43:05,450 --> 00:43:00,480
where NASA and the Navy can perform

443
00:43:10,550 --> 00:43:08,150
and for more Artemis updates check out

444
00:43:13,130 --> 00:43:10,560
the QR code on your screen we're going

445
00:43:16,190 --> 00:43:13,140
to pop it up right there

446
00:43:17,990 --> 00:43:16,200
just scan that with your smartphone and

447
00:43:20,109 --> 00:43:18,000
you'll get updates from our official

448
00:43:25,609 --> 00:43:20,119
blog

449
00:43:28,609 --> 00:43:25,619
we're always updating it with frequent

450
00:43:33,890 --> 00:43:31,130
as we gear up for Artemis 2. it's nice

451
00:43:35,690 --> 00:43:33,900
to see them out there already working on

452
00:43:38,030 --> 00:43:35,700
the next mission yeah it's been a long

453
00:43:39,950 --> 00:43:38,040
Pro long iteration and since uh Artemis

454
00:43:41,450 --> 00:43:39,960
just Orion just as part of the Artemis

455
00:43:43,069 --> 00:43:41,460
just likes the dragon lands in the water

456
00:43:47,270 --> 00:43:43,079
a lot of training goes into making sure

457
00:43:52,430 --> 00:43:49,130
we talked about the mission specialist

458
00:43:54,530 --> 00:43:52,440
Raj and how we've got the UAE we've got

459
00:43:56,569 --> 00:43:54,540
Ross Cosmos

460
00:43:58,490 --> 00:43:56,579
it's all a part of flying integrated

461
00:44:01,130 --> 00:43:58,500
Crews

462
00:44:03,530 --> 00:44:01,140
and for NASA this ensures operational

463
00:44:05,510 --> 00:44:03,540
safety crew members on station are

464
00:44:07,069 --> 00:44:05,520
trained to do maintenance and spacewalks

465
00:44:09,589 --> 00:44:07,079
and it also protects against

466
00:44:12,109 --> 00:44:09,599
contingencies such as a problem with any

467
00:44:14,450 --> 00:44:12,119
crew spacecraft serious crew medical

468
00:44:16,190 --> 00:44:14,460
issues or an emergency aboard the

469
00:44:18,410 --> 00:44:16,200
station that requires a crew and the

470
00:44:21,770 --> 00:44:18,420
vehicle that they are assigned to to

471
00:44:23,809 --> 00:44:21,780
return to Earth sooner than planned

472
00:44:25,130 --> 00:44:23,819
we had an issue with the spacecraft on

473
00:44:28,010 --> 00:44:25,140
station

474
00:44:30,770 --> 00:44:28,020
a backup spacecraft the soyuz was flown

475
00:44:33,050 --> 00:44:30,780
up there but in the interim NASA always

476
00:44:36,290 --> 00:44:33,060
has a backup plan and so the astronaut

477
00:44:38,630 --> 00:44:36,300
that flew up on the soyuz had a ride to

478
00:44:40,370 --> 00:44:38,640
go home if it was needed that's right

479
00:44:41,750 --> 00:44:40,380
yeah so we're always uh we always talk

480
00:44:43,490 --> 00:44:41,760
about the next worst failure when we're

481
00:44:45,530 --> 00:44:43,500
looking as kind of the mindset we have

482
00:44:47,569 --> 00:44:45,540
at Johnson Space Center and in the

483
00:44:49,010 --> 00:44:47,579
astronaut core and so yeah exactly you

484
00:44:50,510 --> 00:44:49,020
know always thinking about what could go

485
00:44:51,950 --> 00:44:50,520
wrong and having a plan to deal with

486
00:44:53,930 --> 00:44:51,960
that and that's exactly the case we're

487
00:44:55,430 --> 00:44:53,940
in uh now have another soyuz up there

488
00:44:56,990 --> 00:44:55,440
and so now back to what I would call

489
00:44:59,809 --> 00:44:57,000
more nominal Ops

490
00:45:03,770 --> 00:44:59,819
as the Caravan passes the security gate

491
00:45:05,089 --> 00:45:03,780
at the launch complex 39. let's check in

492
00:45:07,790 --> 00:45:05,099
now for the first time with Johnson

493
00:45:09,890 --> 00:45:07,800
Space Center in Houston Texas and that's

494
00:45:11,390 --> 00:45:09,900
where we find Courtney Beasley with an

495
00:45:14,990 --> 00:45:11,400
update from Mission Control good evening

496
00:45:19,250 --> 00:45:17,630
good evening thanks Daryl and welcome to

497
00:45:21,530 --> 00:45:19,260
the International Space Station flight

498
00:45:23,930 --> 00:45:21,540
control room at NASA's Johnson Space

499
00:45:25,910 --> 00:45:23,940
Center in Houston Texas mission control

500
00:45:27,290 --> 00:45:25,920
is essentially the nerve center for

501
00:45:29,270 --> 00:45:27,300
operating the International Space

502
00:45:31,069 --> 00:45:29,280
Station working in tandem with our

503
00:45:32,990 --> 00:45:31,079
partner agencies and providers around

504
00:45:34,990 --> 00:45:33,000
the globe together we've ensured the

505
00:45:37,309 --> 00:45:35,000
station is ready to welcome Cruise six

506
00:45:39,290 --> 00:45:37,319
leading the team inside the room right

507
00:45:41,990 --> 00:45:39,300
now is flight director Judd freeling he

508
00:45:43,790 --> 00:45:42,000
will also lead the Joint Nasa SpaceX go

509
00:45:45,829 --> 00:45:43,800
no-go polls once we're in integrated

510
00:45:48,349 --> 00:45:45,839
operations with Mission controls here in

511
00:45:50,270 --> 00:45:48,359
Houston and at SpaceX in Hawthorne

512
00:45:53,089 --> 00:45:50,280
working together to bring crew Dragon to

513
00:45:54,770 --> 00:45:53,099
its new home in space meanwhile the crew

514
00:45:56,510 --> 00:45:54,780
aboard the space station is currently in

515
00:45:59,089 --> 00:45:56,520
a sleep period set to wake up around

516
00:46:00,950 --> 00:45:59,099
midnight central time when we check back

517
00:46:02,450 --> 00:46:00,960
in later we'll talk a little more about

518
00:46:04,609 --> 00:46:02,460
what the crew on the International Space

519
00:46:06,710 --> 00:46:04,619
Station has been doing to prepare for

520
00:46:09,470 --> 00:46:06,720
cruise 6. but for now we'll send it back

521
00:46:11,030 --> 00:46:09,480
to the team over at Kennedy Daryl all

522
00:46:13,430 --> 00:46:11,040
right thank you very much Courtney and

523
00:46:15,470 --> 00:46:13,440
Mission Control ready to go

524
00:46:18,050 --> 00:46:15,480
back here

525
00:46:21,530 --> 00:46:18,060
at America's Spaceport

526
00:46:24,050 --> 00:46:21,540
for watching the Teslas with four or

527
00:46:26,870 --> 00:46:24,060
three astronauts and one Cosmonaut going

528
00:46:30,050 --> 00:46:26,880
through the security gate at launch

529
00:46:32,569 --> 00:46:30,060
complex 39a so this is inside the pad

530
00:46:34,849 --> 00:46:32,579
perimeter it's inside the blast danger

531
00:46:36,470 --> 00:46:34,859
area yep and you see them going by

532
00:46:37,730 --> 00:46:36,480
what's called The Horizon horizontal

533
00:46:39,710 --> 00:46:37,740
integration facility so you saw him

534
00:46:41,150 --> 00:46:39,720
drive by the VAB which is the vertical

535
00:46:43,550 --> 00:46:41,160
Assembly Building we use for Artemis

536
00:46:45,589 --> 00:46:43,560
SpaceX actually integrates their vehicle

537
00:46:46,849 --> 00:46:45,599
horizontally uh and then that rolls out

538
00:46:48,650 --> 00:46:46,859
you see those railroad tracks there

539
00:46:50,690 --> 00:46:48,660
that's how it goes out on the The

540
00:46:53,329 --> 00:46:50,700
Transporter Rector launcher there that

541
00:46:55,130 --> 00:46:53,339
Patel so they actually stacked the

542
00:46:56,569 --> 00:46:55,140
capsule and the trunk inside that

543
00:46:58,670 --> 00:46:56,579
vehicle and rolled it up the tracks

544
00:47:00,890 --> 00:46:58,680
there and then the towel lifts it up

545
00:47:02,510 --> 00:47:00,900
into position on the pad and a cool view

546
00:47:04,430 --> 00:47:02,520
there from the lead Tesla with that out

547
00:47:05,870 --> 00:47:04,440
the window view as they're coming up you

548
00:47:09,170 --> 00:47:05,880
gotta love that it was worth looking at

549
00:47:12,410 --> 00:47:09,180
the base of the rocket and

550
00:47:14,450 --> 00:47:12,420
you know recapping again the issue from

551
00:47:17,390 --> 00:47:14,460
Sunday night

552
00:47:20,809 --> 00:47:17,400
there was a a problem

553
00:47:22,790 --> 00:47:20,819
with uh actually a crawl a clogged drain

554
00:47:25,910 --> 00:47:22,800
line

555
00:47:28,309 --> 00:47:25,920
for the t-tab system this is the engine

556
00:47:30,890 --> 00:47:28,319
ignition fluid that fills the bottom

557
00:47:32,690 --> 00:47:30,900
there the base of the rocket to make

558
00:47:34,670 --> 00:47:32,700
sure that each

559
00:47:36,530 --> 00:47:34,680
each of the engines of the Falcon 9

560
00:47:39,710 --> 00:47:36,540
lights up

561
00:47:41,150 --> 00:47:39,720
they found out about it and uh

562
00:47:43,490 --> 00:47:41,160
didn't have the confidence that they

563
00:47:46,190 --> 00:47:43,500
would have enough engine ignition fluid

564
00:47:49,069 --> 00:47:46,200
to light those engines so they scrubbed

565
00:47:50,690 --> 00:47:49,079
rosley later found out that there was a

566
00:47:53,630 --> 00:47:50,700
clogged filter in one of the engine

567
00:47:57,230 --> 00:47:53,640
lines and so they changed the filter

568
00:47:58,430 --> 00:47:57,240
they blew out the lines with gaseous

569
00:48:00,109 --> 00:47:58,440
nitrogen

570
00:48:02,510 --> 00:48:00,119
cleaned them all out

571
00:48:04,430 --> 00:48:02,520
and now it's up and running great yeah

572
00:48:05,930 --> 00:48:04,440
so it's great news so yeah the t-tab in

573
00:48:07,670 --> 00:48:05,940
super simple terms is kind of like the

574
00:48:08,990 --> 00:48:07,680
spark plug of an engine so we'll talk

575
00:48:11,270 --> 00:48:09,000
later tonight as they're loading prop

576
00:48:13,370 --> 00:48:11,280
you know there's Fuel and oxidizer that

577
00:48:15,530 --> 00:48:13,380
feeds the engines but that initial spark

578
00:48:17,390 --> 00:48:15,540
comes from the t-tab that you know sort

579
00:48:18,410 --> 00:48:17,400
of like lighting a gas grill and you

580
00:48:20,030 --> 00:48:18,420
know reaching in there with that wand

581
00:48:22,550 --> 00:48:20,040
and clicking it on so that's basically

582
00:48:23,870 --> 00:48:22,560
what was was going on uh whenever you

583
00:48:25,309 --> 00:48:23,880
see signals like that initially it's

584
00:48:27,829 --> 00:48:25,319
like well is it actually a problem or is

585
00:48:28,849 --> 00:48:27,839
it just bad Telemetry and that's why you

586
00:48:30,530 --> 00:48:28,859
know they talk about it through Mission

587
00:48:32,569 --> 00:48:30,540
Control try to look for alternate sensor

588
00:48:34,010 --> 00:48:32,579
readings But ultimately the safe and

589
00:48:36,170 --> 00:48:34,020
that has proved out the right thing to

590
00:48:38,270 --> 00:48:36,180
do is to to call the launch

591
00:48:42,190 --> 00:48:38,280
um and and do what's absolutely safest

592
00:48:46,730 --> 00:48:44,510
core call that to the team that the

593
00:48:48,349 --> 00:48:46,740
crews on the pad and that word goes out

594
00:48:50,809 --> 00:48:48,359
so the closeout crew and the folks who

595
00:48:52,550 --> 00:48:50,819
are setting up displays uh who don't are

596
00:48:53,630 --> 00:48:52,560
watching the 4K stream know what's going

597
00:48:56,230 --> 00:48:53,640
on

598
00:48:58,250 --> 00:48:56,240
um that's right but uh yeah so that's it

599
00:48:59,750 --> 00:48:58,260
exactly hopefully they're not watching

600
00:49:02,990 --> 00:48:59,760
right

601
00:49:04,370 --> 00:49:03,000
um but uh yeah so the t-tab again uh if

602
00:49:06,170 --> 00:49:04,380
there's ever a doubt you know we do have

603
00:49:07,670 --> 00:49:06,180
protocols for like is it a bad Telemetry

604
00:49:09,230 --> 00:49:07,680
or just one bad sensor but in this case

605
00:49:10,370 --> 00:49:09,240
there's a few indications that there was

606
00:49:12,890 --> 00:49:10,380
something wrong

607
00:49:14,690 --> 00:49:12,900
um and uh they made the right call to

608
00:49:16,490 --> 00:49:14,700
stand down and as you said found an

609
00:49:18,410 --> 00:49:16,500
actual clog and fixed that and so the

610
00:49:20,510 --> 00:49:18,420
good news is we're back on track

611
00:49:23,930 --> 00:49:20,520
that's a great point about the Telemetry

612
00:49:26,450 --> 00:49:23,940
versus you know the problem it can look

613
00:49:27,710 --> 00:49:26,460
one way and you could find out there's a

614
00:49:29,690 --> 00:49:27,720
problem with a sensor like you mentioned

615
00:49:31,309 --> 00:49:29,700
but in this case it literally was an

616
00:49:35,210 --> 00:49:31,319
issue that they were able to identify

617
00:49:37,790 --> 00:49:35,220
and then uh quickly correct and so

618
00:49:40,970 --> 00:49:37,800
we're excited to light them up tonight

619
00:49:42,410 --> 00:49:40,980
crew six and NASA and SpaceX this is our

620
00:49:45,470 --> 00:49:42,420
sixth crew rotation to the International

621
00:49:47,150 --> 00:49:45,480
Space Station since 2020 this successful

622
00:49:49,130 --> 00:49:47,160
NASA program is called commercial crew

623
00:49:51,650 --> 00:49:49,140
and it's based right here at the Kennedy

624
00:49:53,809 --> 00:49:51,660
Space Center Jasmine Hopkins now joins

625
00:49:56,870 --> 00:49:53,819
us live with one of the leaders of this

626
00:49:58,970 --> 00:49:56,880
program program Jasmine thank you so

627
00:50:00,650 --> 00:49:58,980
much Daryl we are back tonight on the

628
00:50:02,690 --> 00:50:00,660
balcony of the operation support

629
00:50:04,370 --> 00:50:02,700
building number two here at Kennedy

630
00:50:06,050 --> 00:50:04,380
Space Center and right now we're so glad

631
00:50:08,030 --> 00:50:06,060
to be joined by Kathy leaders the

632
00:50:10,130 --> 00:50:08,040
associate administrator for NASA's space

633
00:50:13,010 --> 00:50:10,140
operations Mission directorate good

634
00:50:15,170 --> 00:50:13,020
evening Kathy good evening so happy to

635
00:50:17,329 --> 00:50:15,180
be here of course we are happy to have

636
00:50:19,130 --> 00:50:17,339
you this is round two as we said earlier

637
00:50:20,510 --> 00:50:19,140
you know a second time's the charm but

638
00:50:22,849 --> 00:50:20,520
really let's talk about that seriously

639
00:50:24,230 --> 00:50:22,859
that we prioritize safety here at Nasa

640
00:50:27,890 --> 00:50:24,240
we only launch when we're ready right

641
00:50:29,750 --> 00:50:27,900
yes and you know there's a it kind of

642
00:50:31,970 --> 00:50:29,760
seems like a cliche because we say it

643
00:50:34,609 --> 00:50:31,980
over and over you know space flight's

644
00:50:36,770 --> 00:50:34,619
hard we say it's really really hard and

645
00:50:38,930 --> 00:50:36,780
but when you look at all the things that

646
00:50:41,990 --> 00:50:38,940
have to be done perfectly to make sure

647
00:50:44,809 --> 00:50:42,000
we're flying safely it is hard and and

648
00:50:47,750 --> 00:50:44,819
it's that attention to detail that makes

649
00:50:50,030 --> 00:50:47,760
us ensure that we're flying our crews

650
00:50:52,190 --> 00:50:50,040
safely and so you just got to step

651
00:50:55,010 --> 00:50:52,200
through it carefully you know and I tell

652
00:50:59,089 --> 00:50:55,020
the team one step at a time and you know

653
00:51:02,089 --> 00:50:59,099
sometimes you can be almost at that you

654
00:51:03,650 --> 00:51:02,099
know that five yard line seeing the goal

655
00:51:04,930 --> 00:51:03,660
in sight like we were you know early

656
00:51:07,849 --> 00:51:04,940
Monday morning

657
00:51:10,430 --> 00:51:07,859
and you can have a clog filter and you

658
00:51:13,010 --> 00:51:10,440
just gotta stop and say okay we're not

659
00:51:16,549 --> 00:51:13,020
ready to go fly today and we're gonna

660
00:51:21,170 --> 00:51:16,559
stop take our time get ready to go and

661
00:51:23,150 --> 00:51:21,180
reset up again and but it it is really

662
00:51:24,650 --> 00:51:23,160
I'm very proud of the team because the

663
00:51:26,210 --> 00:51:24,660
way they work through that problem and

664
00:51:28,549 --> 00:51:26,220
the way they said

665
00:51:31,549 --> 00:51:28,559
hey we aren't ready right now to be able

666
00:51:33,530 --> 00:51:31,559
to say we're safe and so we're gonna

667
00:51:35,450 --> 00:51:33,540
stop and make sure we've got this all

668
00:51:37,730 --> 00:51:35,460
figured out and then come back and fly

669
00:51:39,890 --> 00:51:37,740
again I think it gives a real testimony

670
00:51:41,930 --> 00:51:39,900
to the team it really is Kathy and as

671
00:51:43,549 --> 00:51:41,940
you said space flight is hard but we

672
00:51:45,170 --> 00:51:43,559
have been just pushing forward with the

673
00:51:47,390 --> 00:51:45,180
commercial crew program as Daryl said

674
00:51:49,490 --> 00:51:47,400
earlier this is the sixth crew rotation

675
00:51:50,930 --> 00:51:49,500
flight from NASA and SpaceX to the space

676
00:51:52,510 --> 00:51:50,940
station what do you think of that

677
00:51:55,190 --> 00:51:52,520
Cadence from the commercial crew program

678
00:51:57,710 --> 00:51:55,200
well you know this is near and dear to

679
00:52:00,650 --> 00:51:57,720
my heart and so obviously you know as

680
00:52:03,609 --> 00:52:00,660
the ex commercial crew program manager

681
00:52:07,130 --> 00:52:03,619
I'm awfully proud of the way the team

682
00:52:09,410 --> 00:52:07,140
has you know and not only the six crew

683
00:52:11,510 --> 00:52:09,420
rotation Mission but you know really the

684
00:52:14,630 --> 00:52:11,520
seventh Mission with also doing demo two

685
00:52:16,250 --> 00:52:14,640
you know in March of 2020 as we were

686
00:52:18,109 --> 00:52:16,260
kind of in our campaign getting ready

687
00:52:18,829 --> 00:52:18,119
for the demo flight

688
00:52:21,470 --> 00:52:18,839
um

689
00:52:23,569 --> 00:52:21,480
I would have dreamed this would have

690
00:52:25,309 --> 00:52:23,579
been like the the greatest dream for me

691
00:52:26,990 --> 00:52:25,319
that we would be here you know three

692
00:52:29,630 --> 00:52:27,000
years later less than three years later

693
00:52:31,910 --> 00:52:29,640
and have maintained this Cadence of

694
00:52:34,309 --> 00:52:31,920
safely being able to rotate or Cruise so

695
00:52:36,109 --> 00:52:34,319
extremely proud of the team yeah and it

696
00:52:37,910 --> 00:52:36,119
really does seem like almost surreal

697
00:52:39,710 --> 00:52:37,920
that we've come this far and of course

698
00:52:41,630 --> 00:52:39,720
we're working very closely with SpaceX

699
00:52:43,130 --> 00:52:41,640
on this Mission but we're adding more

700
00:52:45,290 --> 00:52:43,140
Partners to this what are we doing for

701
00:52:48,890 --> 00:52:45,300
the commercialization of low earth orbit

702
00:52:51,470 --> 00:52:48,900
well this next you know four or five

703
00:52:53,329 --> 00:52:51,480
months is just going to be incredible

704
00:52:56,750 --> 00:52:53,339
for the International Space Station I

705
00:52:59,569 --> 00:52:56,760
mean it's a really busy port for a lot

706
00:53:02,329 --> 00:52:59,579
of vehicles coming up so obviously we've

707
00:53:04,190 --> 00:53:02,339
got you know crew Six coming up but then

708
00:53:06,349 --> 00:53:04,200
we've got another SpaceX cargo Mission

709
00:53:09,730 --> 00:53:06,359
also coming up in the March time frame

710
00:53:12,410 --> 00:53:09,740
and that's Paving the way for our Boeing

711
00:53:14,809 --> 00:53:12,420
first crude flight test vehicle that

712
00:53:17,569 --> 00:53:14,819
will be coming up in end of April and

713
00:53:20,750 --> 00:53:17,579
then we have Axiom 2 our second private

714
00:53:22,730 --> 00:53:20,760
astronaut Mission and and following that

715
00:53:24,890 --> 00:53:22,740
two more cargo vehicles in the next four

716
00:53:26,930 --> 00:53:24,900
or five months so there's no rest for

717
00:53:28,549 --> 00:53:26,940
the wicked and these people must be very

718
00:53:31,250 --> 00:53:28,559
Wicked because

719
00:53:33,410 --> 00:53:31,260
they're not getting a break or not much

720
00:53:36,650 --> 00:53:33,420
of a break in here but honestly this is

721
00:53:38,569 --> 00:53:36,660
this is what we dreamed that the space

722
00:53:40,370 --> 00:53:38,579
station program would be doing at this

723
00:53:42,470 --> 00:53:40,380
stage you know we dreamed that we'd be

724
00:53:45,290 --> 00:53:42,480
having cargo vehicles and crew Vehicles

725
00:53:48,049 --> 00:53:45,300
because this is when we get to maximize

726
00:53:49,970 --> 00:53:48,059
the use and the science that's created

727
00:53:51,950 --> 00:53:49,980
on the International Space Station right

728
00:53:53,930 --> 00:53:51,960
we really are living the dream it's a

729
00:53:55,730 --> 00:53:53,940
dream to be at Nasa at this time and

730
00:53:57,410 --> 00:53:55,740
we've been at this for a very long time

731
00:54:00,230 --> 00:53:57,420
actually the space station is going into

732
00:54:02,150 --> 00:54:00,240
its 22nd year what do you think of

733
00:54:04,790 --> 00:54:02,160
America's continuous presence on the

734
00:54:07,130 --> 00:54:04,800
space station well we always talk about

735
00:54:09,470 --> 00:54:07,140
not only staying on the space station

736
00:54:12,650 --> 00:54:09,480
but not giving up our presence in low

737
00:54:16,250 --> 00:54:12,660
earth orbit and so you know not only are

738
00:54:18,530 --> 00:54:16,260
we preparing for the next eight to ten

739
00:54:20,690 --> 00:54:18,540
years with the space station but we're

740
00:54:22,370 --> 00:54:20,700
also preparing for our continued

741
00:54:25,910 --> 00:54:22,380
presence in low earth orbit with our

742
00:54:28,130 --> 00:54:25,920
commercial Leo destinations and so we

743
00:54:30,410 --> 00:54:28,140
have a lot of work that we have planned

744
00:54:31,970 --> 00:54:30,420
to do on on the space station but we

745
00:54:33,650 --> 00:54:31,980
also have a lot of work that we need to

746
00:54:36,470 --> 00:54:33,660
continue to do on our commercial Leo

747
00:54:39,170 --> 00:54:36,480
destinations to get us ready to buy down

748
00:54:41,569 --> 00:54:39,180
the human risks that we have for our

749
00:54:44,809 --> 00:54:41,579
expiration missions there's really no

750
00:54:48,890 --> 00:54:44,819
other place except for Leo to really be

751
00:54:51,290 --> 00:54:48,900
buying down those crew risks and and we

752
00:54:53,210 --> 00:54:51,300
need to have those who are spot down for

753
00:54:55,490 --> 00:54:53,220
us to really be able to do another long

754
00:54:57,230 --> 00:54:55,500
duration flight like a mission to Mars

755
00:54:58,970 --> 00:54:57,240
will be exactly we're just looking

756
00:55:00,230 --> 00:54:58,980
forward to the Moon forward on to Mars

757
00:55:02,690 --> 00:55:00,240
Kathy thank you so much for being here

758
00:55:04,910 --> 00:55:02,700
tonight oh thank you of course Daryl

00:55:07,609 --> 00:55:04,920
back to you thank you Jasmine and great

760
00:55:09,290 --> 00:55:07,619
words from Kathy leaders there if you're

761
00:55:11,870 --> 00:55:09,300
just joining us well you're watching

762
00:55:14,690 --> 00:55:11,880
live coverage of NASA's and spacex's

763
00:55:16,609 --> 00:55:14,700
Mission known as Cruise six good evening

764
00:55:18,710 --> 00:55:16,619
and welcome to Kennedy Space Center in

765
00:55:21,950 --> 00:55:18,720
Florida I'm Daryl nail along with a

766
00:55:25,309 --> 00:55:21,960
recent flyer on a SpaceX dragon and that

767
00:55:26,450 --> 00:55:25,319
is crew 3 Commander rajachary I

768
00:55:27,770 --> 00:55:26,460
appreciate you being here thanks they're

769
00:55:30,170 --> 00:55:27,780
all happy to be back and get another

770
00:55:31,309 --> 00:55:30,180
chance to hopefully get the crew sticks

771
00:55:32,750 --> 00:55:31,319
off the ground

772
00:55:34,490 --> 00:55:32,760
um we're getting to see uh right now

773
00:55:36,650 --> 00:55:34,500
that them showing up to take a look at

774
00:55:38,329 --> 00:55:36,660
the look up the rocket we talked about

775
00:55:39,950 --> 00:55:38,339
last time the reason they have to Crane

776
00:55:42,170 --> 00:55:39,960
back like that is the way that the suit

777
00:55:44,089 --> 00:55:42,180
constrains you and it's it's meant it's

778
00:55:45,589 --> 00:55:44,099
built to be pressurized but when it's

779
00:55:46,910 --> 00:55:45,599
not pressurized and it kind of pushes

780
00:55:48,829 --> 00:55:46,920
down on your head and neck just a little

781
00:55:50,329 --> 00:55:48,839
bit so taking one more look at the

782
00:55:52,130 --> 00:55:50,339
rocket before they they head into the

783
00:55:54,230 --> 00:55:52,140
elevator and I did hear from Woody that

784
00:55:56,630 --> 00:55:54,240
uh they did in fact change the labels on

785
00:55:58,549 --> 00:55:56,640
the button pad inside that so it does

786
00:56:00,829 --> 00:55:58,559
actually say space on the top button and

787
00:56:03,650 --> 00:56:00,839
Earth on the bottom button the elevator

788
00:56:05,089 --> 00:56:03,660
buttons inside yes if uh folks you

789
00:56:07,250 --> 00:56:05,099
haven't seen that Meme floating around

790
00:56:09,770 --> 00:56:07,260
there's a picture that shows all the

791
00:56:12,410 --> 00:56:09,780
buttons inside this elevator and they're

792
00:56:15,470 --> 00:56:12,420
marked out by the foot level the top

793
00:56:17,930 --> 00:56:15,480
used to be the 255 foot level but

794
00:56:19,970 --> 00:56:17,940
apparently it now says modified to say

795
00:56:22,849 --> 00:56:19,980
space which is appropriate uh this this

796
00:56:24,770 --> 00:56:22,859
the 39 complex is historic we've been

797
00:56:26,750 --> 00:56:24,780
using it since the early days of the

798
00:56:29,510 --> 00:56:26,760
Space Age and you know continuing to

799
00:56:31,270 --> 00:56:29,520
upgrade uh even the labels how cool was

800
00:56:33,710 --> 00:56:31,280
that to reach over and press space

801
00:56:35,270 --> 00:56:33,720
that's yeah that's the awesome awesome

802
00:56:37,130 --> 00:56:35,280
to be able to hit the destination that

803
00:56:38,390 --> 00:56:37,140
you're going to yeah

804
00:56:39,710 --> 00:56:38,400
this is the view at the top of the

805
00:56:41,690 --> 00:56:39,720
elevator so they pop out here and they

806
00:56:43,970 --> 00:56:41,700
walk up a floor uh you can see there's

807
00:56:45,770 --> 00:56:43,980
the graded floors or for if in the event

808
00:56:46,910 --> 00:56:45,780
of an emergency egress they douse this

809
00:56:48,410 --> 00:56:46,920
whole thing with a whole bunch of water

810
00:56:50,150 --> 00:56:48,420
so you don't have to get slippery so

811
00:56:56,210 --> 00:56:50,160
that's why they're grated floors so the

812
00:57:03,650 --> 00:57:00,170
and you see astronaut Nick Hague is with

813
00:57:08,870 --> 00:57:06,049
see him turning the corner there this is

814
00:57:11,569 --> 00:57:08,880
the astronaut's support person and Nick

815
00:57:14,270 --> 00:57:11,579
Hague of course an experienced astronaut

816
00:57:16,730 --> 00:57:14,280
been up to space station uh been through

817
00:57:19,130 --> 00:57:16,740
in a launch abort himself

818
00:57:21,230 --> 00:57:19,140
great resource to the astronauts yeah

819
00:57:22,430 --> 00:57:21,240
it's amazing uh Reed Wiseman who's the

820
00:57:23,990 --> 00:57:22,440
the former Chief of the office likes to

821
00:57:26,329 --> 00:57:24,000
say that Nick is a unicorn he's pretty

822
00:57:28,190 --> 00:57:26,339
much the only person uh you know right

823
00:57:29,870 --> 00:57:28,200
now that's well he's been to space twice

824
00:57:30,950 --> 00:57:29,880
even though he only won one mission is

825
00:57:32,510 --> 00:57:30,960
the first time they aborted they

826
00:57:35,390 --> 00:57:32,520
actually ballistically went into orbit

827
00:57:37,309 --> 00:57:35,400
so he counts at us too rightfully so uh

828
00:57:38,630 --> 00:57:37,319
but yeah that's really really unusual

829
00:57:39,710 --> 00:57:38,640
there's I don't think there's anyone

830
00:57:41,510 --> 00:57:39,720
else in the office that's been through a

831
00:57:42,829 --> 00:57:41,520
launch abort um which as we know the

832
00:57:43,849 --> 00:57:42,839
commercial crew program has that as a

833
00:57:45,890 --> 00:57:43,859
requirements so we've got that system

834
00:57:48,650 --> 00:57:45,900
now with both dragon and Starliner but

835
00:57:50,690 --> 00:57:48,660
to actually have done that as a way it's

836
00:57:52,910 --> 00:57:50,700
pretty extreme you see Sultan and Andre

837
00:57:54,530 --> 00:57:52,920
heading up the elevator uh you notice

838
00:57:55,849 --> 00:57:54,540
tonight everything's going faster which

839
00:57:57,049 --> 00:57:55,859
is a testament to the fact that we've

840
00:57:58,730 --> 00:57:57,059
practiced this once

841
00:58:01,069 --> 00:57:58,740
um so they're you know now this is the

842
00:58:02,390 --> 00:58:01,079
second time the team's doing this uh and

843
00:58:03,710 --> 00:58:02,400
you know Woody himself commented there's

844
00:58:05,809 --> 00:58:03,720
almost like a free Sim that they got to

845
00:58:08,690 --> 00:58:05,819
do the other day

846
00:58:10,609 --> 00:58:08,700
things are going a lot faster certainly

847
00:58:12,890 --> 00:58:10,619
notice that just to fill finish the

848
00:58:14,890 --> 00:58:12,900
thought on the launcher board that was a

849
00:58:19,849 --> 00:58:14,900
soyuz in 2018

850
00:58:24,049 --> 00:58:21,589
waiting for the mission Specialists and

851
00:58:25,430 --> 00:58:24,059
here they come

852
00:58:26,750 --> 00:58:25,440
so they'll head up the stairs as well

853
00:58:27,890 --> 00:58:26,760
you saw Woody and Steve were just

854
00:58:29,809 --> 00:58:27,900
starting to make their phone calls we

855
00:58:31,130 --> 00:58:29,819
talked the last time that one of the

856
00:58:32,210 --> 00:58:31,140
other jobs so Nick Hague as the

857
00:58:34,490 --> 00:58:32,220
astronaut sport person one of the things

858
00:58:36,170 --> 00:58:34,500
they're doing is uh like items like

859
00:58:37,789 --> 00:58:36,180
glasses watches things like that that

860
00:58:39,289 --> 00:58:37,799
have to be carried that they don't have

861
00:58:42,230 --> 00:58:39,299
room for in their pockets he's kind of

862
00:58:44,210 --> 00:58:42,240
handling that Logistics he's also the

863
00:58:45,829 --> 00:58:44,220
one who dials the numbers which is not a

864
00:58:49,370 --> 00:58:45,839
trivial task calling on a government

865
00:58:50,990 --> 00:58:49,380
phone to the UAE or to Russia so you got

866
00:58:52,730 --> 00:58:51,000
to figure out yeah the country codes the

867
00:58:55,510 --> 00:58:52,740
do I have dial plus nine or plus nine

868
00:58:57,530 --> 00:58:55,520
plus one but yeah

869
00:58:58,970 --> 00:58:57,540
exactly which number gets you the

870
00:59:00,049 --> 00:58:58,980
international make sure you've done that

871
00:59:01,789 --> 00:59:00,059
and you want to make sure the person

872
00:59:03,349 --> 00:59:01,799
who's going to get the call knows that

873
00:59:04,309 --> 00:59:03,359
it's not a Spam call so you need to make

874
00:59:06,589 --> 00:59:04,319
sure you give them that number in

875
00:59:08,930 --> 00:59:06,599
advance the Chevrons on the ground there

876
00:59:10,190 --> 00:59:08,940
they're going to be uh when they go onto

877
00:59:11,750 --> 00:59:10,200
the spacecraft they're walking against

878
00:59:14,329 --> 00:59:11,760
the Chevrons but those Chevrons are

879
00:59:15,770 --> 00:59:14,339
meant for in a low visibility egress

880
00:59:17,390 --> 00:59:15,780
because I make a mention the water

881
00:59:18,890 --> 00:59:17,400
system is on so you would be getting

882
00:59:20,569 --> 00:59:18,900
doused with water so you can look down

883
00:59:22,730 --> 00:59:20,579
and that's pointing you to the egress

884
00:59:24,349 --> 00:59:22,740
baskets which on the far left side of

885
00:59:26,030 --> 00:59:24,359
the screen just kind of went out of view

886
00:59:28,430 --> 00:59:26,040
but you can see where these slide wires

887
00:59:29,510 --> 00:59:28,440
are at and that's how you would get down

888
00:59:31,309 --> 00:59:29,520
to the ground now you can just see them

889
00:59:33,530 --> 00:59:31,319
on the left side they're like a super

890
00:59:35,870 --> 00:59:33,540
fun zip line ride that you would get

891
00:59:37,190 --> 00:59:35,880
into a basket and then go down to the

892
00:59:39,770 --> 00:59:37,200
bottom of the pad and there's a

893
00:59:42,049 --> 00:59:39,780
loudspeaker system up there and so as

894
00:59:43,970 --> 00:59:42,059
you're egressing the launch director

895
00:59:45,410 --> 00:59:43,980
would be giving you instructions most

896
00:59:47,329 --> 00:59:45,420
key like how many people are still on

897
00:59:49,130 --> 00:59:47,339
the pad because as the crew if it's just

898
00:59:50,809 --> 00:59:49,140
four of you that's relatively easy but

899
00:59:52,010 --> 00:59:50,819
if the closeout crew is there you got to

900
00:59:53,390 --> 00:59:52,020
make sure you count baskets and people

901
00:59:54,950 --> 00:59:53,400
to make sure everyone gets down to the

902
00:59:56,630 --> 00:59:54,960
ground want to have a full head count

903
00:59:58,970 --> 00:59:56,640
everybody who don't want to leave anyone

904
01:00:00,349 --> 00:59:58,980
up there right

905
01:00:02,569 --> 01:00:00,359
so it looks like they're cycling through

906
01:00:04,910 --> 01:00:02,579
the phone calls now

907
01:00:07,430 --> 01:00:04,920
this is the view looking towards the

908
01:00:10,130 --> 01:00:07,440
crew access arm it is behind the black

909
01:00:12,410 --> 01:00:10,140
door so when they wrap up their call

910
01:00:15,890 --> 01:00:12,420
there they'll be headed through the door

911
01:00:19,130 --> 01:00:15,900
and we'll get ready to see our

912
01:00:21,170 --> 01:00:19,140
first two astronauts make their way

913
01:00:24,890 --> 01:00:21,180
from the launch Tower

914
01:00:28,370 --> 01:00:24,900
across the crew access arm and begin to

915
01:00:29,809 --> 01:00:28,380
Ingress to the dragon spacecraft and and

916
01:00:30,950 --> 01:00:29,819
besides the fact they've done this twice

917
01:00:32,990 --> 01:00:30,960
the other reason things go a little

918
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:33,000
quicker is all the little Traditions are

919
01:00:35,630 --> 01:00:34,140
kind of already done so they've already

920
01:00:36,890 --> 01:00:35,640
signed the patch in crew quarters

921
01:00:39,410 --> 01:00:36,900
they'll have already signed the meatball

922
01:00:40,609 --> 01:00:39,420
here so some of those things that take a

923
01:00:43,910 --> 01:00:40,619
little bit of time that are that are

924
01:00:45,470 --> 01:00:43,920
baked into the uh the timeline don't

925
01:00:46,910 --> 01:00:45,480
have to be redone so you can see Woody

926
01:00:49,549 --> 01:00:46,920
and Steve just starting to head out on

927
01:00:51,470 --> 01:00:49,559
the career access arm now

928
01:00:54,230 --> 01:00:51,480
and there they are coming through the

929
01:00:56,450 --> 01:00:54,240
crew access arm the commander and pilot

930
01:01:00,410 --> 01:00:56,460
Stephen and Woody

931
01:01:06,230 --> 01:01:00,420
making their way inside dragon

932
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:12,109
they're hoping today is the day

933
01:01:15,109 --> 01:01:14,089
core on countdown crew are in the white

934
01:01:17,630 --> 01:01:15,119
room

935
01:01:19,849 --> 01:01:17,640
you see uh Arthur is the core at SpaceX

936
01:01:20,450 --> 01:01:19,859
so they keep the shifts the same so

937
01:01:21,829 --> 01:01:20,460
um

938
01:01:23,329 --> 01:01:21,839
again we kind of talked a little bit

939
01:01:24,890 --> 01:01:23,339
about last time but the importance of

940
01:01:26,750 --> 01:01:24,900
all the Sims leading up to this or the

941
01:01:28,730 --> 01:01:26,760
same voices so they'll you know through

942
01:01:30,530 --> 01:01:28,740
the slip and through the scrub re-timing

943
01:01:32,270 --> 01:01:30,540
all the shifts at SpaceX and Houston

944
01:01:34,549 --> 01:01:32,280
actually all stayed on the same timeline

945
01:01:36,829 --> 01:01:34,559
so they could be all the same people

946
01:01:39,890 --> 01:01:36,839
that's Arthur burial the

947
01:01:41,030 --> 01:01:39,900
crew operations resource engineer with

948
01:01:43,250 --> 01:01:41,040
SpaceX

949
01:01:45,049 --> 01:01:43,260
it's his voice coming over you can see

950
01:01:46,430 --> 01:01:45,059
the ninjas helping get there those are

951
01:01:50,870 --> 01:01:46,440
the shoe protects of the boot guards

952
01:01:54,289 --> 01:01:53,210
so protects for two things fod in the

953
01:01:55,609 --> 01:01:54,299
capsule is one thing but the other thing

954
01:01:57,770 --> 01:01:55,619
is there's slots in the bottom of those

955
01:01:59,329 --> 01:01:57,780
heels and that's what actually when you

956
01:02:00,770 --> 01:01:59,339
see them get in you'll see them put

957
01:02:02,750 --> 01:02:00,780
their foot up and then down almost like

958
01:02:04,549 --> 01:02:02,760
putting on a like a ski boot type thing

959
01:02:07,190 --> 01:02:04,559
where it locks in and that's what keeps

960
01:02:09,650 --> 01:02:07,200
your feet restrained under the launch

961
01:02:11,270 --> 01:02:09,660
loads and re-entry loads which is why

962
01:02:13,010 --> 01:02:11,280
you'll also see them sometimes if not

963
01:02:13,970 --> 01:02:13,020
during long before they are on the

964
01:02:16,370 --> 01:02:13,980
launch Escape system you'll see them

965
01:02:18,650 --> 01:02:16,380
lock them in but that also protects the

966
01:02:20,990 --> 01:02:18,660
channel from any Knicks or dings on the

967
01:02:23,450 --> 01:02:21,000
bottom side of that

968
01:02:25,910 --> 01:02:23,460
all right we've got a question that's

969
01:02:29,390 --> 01:02:25,920
coming in from social media as the

970
01:02:32,809 --> 01:02:29,400
astronauts Christmas started

971
01:02:36,289 --> 01:02:32,819
Arthur calling the Ingress has started

972
01:02:38,210 --> 01:02:36,299
which we can see on our screen so here's

973
01:02:43,730 --> 01:02:38,220
the question space Brandon on Twitter

974
01:02:50,089 --> 01:02:46,010
what is it like to take in this view

975
01:02:52,970 --> 01:02:50,099
loud and clear seat two help me

976
01:02:54,770 --> 01:02:52,980
uh C2 how's your loud and clear as well

977
01:02:56,630 --> 01:02:54,780
so I'll tell you it's a it's awesome the

978
01:02:58,430 --> 01:02:56,640
The View out the dragon window you don't

979
01:03:00,109 --> 01:02:58,440
really see getting in because you're as

980
01:03:02,569 --> 01:03:00,119
you saw as they crawl in their head is

981
01:03:04,370 --> 01:03:02,579
towards the seats and then when they we

982
01:03:05,930 --> 01:03:04,380
flip around you can see the white room

983
01:03:07,309 --> 01:03:05,940
and that crew access arm kind of blocks

984
01:03:09,049 --> 01:03:07,319
The View out the two windows there which

985
01:03:10,549 --> 01:03:09,059
you can see uh if you look at ninja 10

986
01:03:12,470 --> 01:03:10,559
to their right and left you can see the

987
01:03:13,970 --> 01:03:12,480
dragon windows The View you do have is

988
01:03:20,690 --> 01:03:13,980
before you walk across the crew access

989
01:03:25,609 --> 01:03:22,970
wait for Arthur loud and clear C3 help

990
01:03:29,210 --> 01:03:27,650
good evening Arthur I have you the same

991
01:03:30,470 --> 01:03:29,220
yeah so the view from where good evening

992
01:03:32,930 --> 01:03:30,480
Woody and Steve good to hear from you

993
01:03:34,490 --> 01:03:32,940
Sultan and Andre are standing is awesome

994
01:03:35,329 --> 01:03:34,500
and you got the water especially on a

995
01:03:36,829 --> 01:03:35,339
clear night

996
01:03:38,210 --> 01:03:36,839
um when you do this during dry dress you

997
01:03:39,470 --> 01:03:38,220
come up here and take in the view but

998
01:03:40,849 --> 01:03:39,480
seeing yeah I think he's talking about

999
01:03:43,010 --> 01:03:40,859
taking in the view right there so you

1000
01:03:44,809 --> 01:03:43,020
can go to the corner uh to the where

1001
01:03:47,809 --> 01:03:44,819
that kind of White Post is kind of where

1002
01:03:49,309 --> 01:03:47,819
ninja 14 is at and you can kind of hang

1003
01:03:52,910 --> 01:03:49,319
off the edge don't don't do it too far

1004
01:03:55,130 --> 01:03:52,920
but yeah it is it's pretty amazing and

1005
01:03:56,089 --> 01:03:55,140
the seeing the clouds in the water I

1006
01:03:58,309 --> 01:03:56,099
think is what's most distinctly

1007
01:04:00,170 --> 01:03:58,319
different so on Earth you can see the

1008
01:04:02,210 --> 01:04:00,180
actual individual waves and the clouds

1009
01:04:04,190 --> 01:04:02,220
moving in from space uh you definitely

1010
01:04:05,690 --> 01:04:04,200
can't see that level of detail um so

1011
01:04:06,829 --> 01:04:05,700
yeah try to take all that in I don't

1012
01:04:08,750 --> 01:04:06,839
think you really appreciate it until you

1013
01:04:11,630 --> 01:04:08,760
come back and see that same thing and we

1014
01:04:13,910 --> 01:04:11,640
can see Nick Hague now taking uh cell

1015
01:04:14,809 --> 01:04:13,920
phone shots of Sultan as he's on the

1016
01:04:18,710 --> 01:04:14,819
phone

1017
01:04:20,329 --> 01:04:18,720
it's a good fellow astronaut does

1018
01:04:21,710 --> 01:04:20,339
and you heard uh Woody and Steve

1019
01:04:24,349 --> 01:04:21,720
checking in with Arthur those are just

1020
01:04:25,670 --> 01:04:24,359
the initial Comm checks will do much

1021
01:04:26,809 --> 01:04:25,680
more intensive ones later but that's

1022
01:04:29,450 --> 01:04:26,819
just to make sure that when they connect

1023
01:04:30,890 --> 01:04:29,460
their umbilical that it's fully seated

1024
01:04:32,990 --> 01:04:30,900
and so if you get a good com check you

1025
01:04:34,250 --> 01:04:33,000
know the little pins that connect that

1026
01:04:37,069 --> 01:04:34,260
Loop are good

1027
01:04:40,730 --> 01:04:37,079
our mission specialist now getting ready

1028
01:04:44,630 --> 01:04:40,740
to board Dragon Sultan and Andre with a

1029
01:04:49,849 --> 01:04:47,270
beautiful shot from high above looking

1030
01:04:55,789 --> 01:04:49,859
into the crew access arm as they make

1031
01:05:00,530 --> 01:04:58,250
and while we're watching the mission

1032
01:05:03,710 --> 01:05:00,540
specialists in action let's take another

1033
01:05:05,329 --> 01:05:03,720
social question which is relevant and if

1034
01:05:08,870 --> 01:05:05,339
we showing off showing you know getting

1035
01:05:10,130 --> 01:05:08,880
the space Texas yeah so it is so they we

1036
01:05:12,349 --> 01:05:10,140
talked about last time they grabbed the

1037
01:05:13,970 --> 01:05:12,359
the ninjas name tags to take with them

1038
01:05:15,049 --> 01:05:13,980
and they distribute those amongst the

1039
01:05:17,030 --> 01:05:15,059
crew so they can fit them in their

1040
01:05:18,650 --> 01:05:17,040
pockets and satchels and the question

1041
01:05:20,270 --> 01:05:18,660
there looks like

1042
01:05:21,890 --> 01:05:20,280
what's the mobility like on the pressure

1043
01:05:23,870 --> 01:05:21,900
suit while walking around it's actually

1044
01:05:25,609 --> 01:05:23,880
fine it's just a little a little bit of

1045
01:05:27,950 --> 01:05:25,619
pressure on the top of your head pulling

1046
01:05:29,450 --> 01:05:27,960
down and as you saw that's kind of why

1047
01:05:31,490 --> 01:05:29,460
they arched their back to look up you

1048
01:05:33,410 --> 01:05:31,500
can't tilt your neck backwards and

1049
01:05:35,510 --> 01:05:33,420
obviously if you turn your head side to

1050
01:05:37,490 --> 01:05:35,520
side your head is kind of turning inside

1051
01:05:38,750 --> 01:05:37,500
the the helmet as opposed to the entire

1052
01:05:40,910 --> 01:05:38,760
helmet moving

1053
01:05:42,530 --> 01:05:40,920
um so it's just more a matter of not

1054
01:05:45,049 --> 01:05:42,540
straining your neck

1055
01:05:47,329 --> 01:05:45,059
it's like traction almost yeah it's just

1056
01:05:48,710 --> 01:05:47,339
a mild traction yeah and and it can get

1057
01:05:51,170 --> 01:05:48,720
hot so you don't do a whole lot of

1058
01:05:53,089 --> 01:05:51,180
action uh unless you have cooling

1059
01:05:54,289 --> 01:05:53,099
attached to you especially with the the

1060
01:05:55,970 --> 01:05:54,299
weather here

1061
01:05:58,549 --> 01:05:55,980
um but compared again this is a in

1062
01:06:01,190 --> 01:05:58,559
what's called an IV in vehicle suit Iva

1063
01:06:03,230 --> 01:06:01,200
suit not a EV or extra vehicular suit so

1064
01:06:05,150 --> 01:06:03,240
way different than if you were trying to

1065
01:06:06,770 --> 01:06:05,160
walk around in an emu which is what we

1066
01:06:08,450 --> 01:06:06,780
use for spacewalks that would be a way

1067
01:06:11,270 --> 01:06:08,460
different story and you probably would

1068
01:06:13,670 --> 01:06:11,280
not be able to walk uh in on Earth

1069
01:06:16,370 --> 01:06:13,680
gravity as it weighs upward of three 400

1070
01:06:18,410 --> 01:06:16,380
pounds whereas this one is is meant to

1071
01:06:19,970 --> 01:06:18,420
be able to move around when it is

1072
01:06:22,370 --> 01:06:19,980
inflated it's meant to be in the seat so

1073
01:06:24,529 --> 01:06:22,380
if if it was pressurized it's not meant

1074
01:06:26,150 --> 01:06:24,539
to be moving around in the cabin with it

1075
01:06:28,309 --> 01:06:26,160
because you can't you don't really have

1076
01:06:30,349 --> 01:06:28,319
a joint Mobility so it's meant to be

1077
01:06:32,870 --> 01:06:30,359
restrained by the straps and in the

1078
01:06:34,370 --> 01:06:32,880
seats to to be fully functional in a

1079
01:06:37,549 --> 01:06:34,380
deep rest scenario

1080
01:06:39,950 --> 01:06:37,559
there go R2 Mission Specialists with the

1081
01:06:42,049 --> 01:06:39,960
duck as they cross the hatch being very

1082
01:06:44,990 --> 01:06:42,059
careful not to

1083
01:06:47,390 --> 01:06:45,000
touch or hit the edges of that hatch

1084
01:06:50,029 --> 01:06:47,400
because that seal is so very important

1085
01:06:51,770 --> 01:06:50,039
to maintaining

1086
01:06:53,990 --> 01:06:51,780
a good seal

1087
01:06:59,150 --> 01:06:54,000
when they pressurize the cabin in space

1088
01:07:02,390 --> 01:07:00,650
or wait

1089
01:07:04,190 --> 01:07:02,400
so those are the those are the crew

1090
01:07:05,450 --> 01:07:04,200
satchels you saw those uh white bags

1091
01:07:07,549 --> 01:07:05,460
Woody and Steve's are already on their

1092
01:07:10,069 --> 01:07:07,559
leg there's a little Loop under there uh

1093
01:07:13,430 --> 01:07:10,079
that the ground techs help connect for

1094
01:07:17,329 --> 01:07:15,710
see Sultan and Andre hook it in there

1095
01:07:18,829 --> 01:07:17,339
umbilicals so expect shortly they'll do

1096
01:07:21,650 --> 01:07:18,839
their comp checks with Arthur and the

1097
01:07:26,150 --> 01:07:23,450
and it's worth noting

1098
01:07:28,190 --> 01:07:26,160
for those who follow very closely

1099
01:07:30,410 --> 01:07:28,200
that SpaceX is now doing some of their

1100
01:07:32,569 --> 01:07:30,420
checks and operations in parallel rather

1101
01:07:34,849 --> 01:07:32,579
than sequentially it could end up

1102
01:07:37,549 --> 01:07:34,859
sequentially but they're aiming for

1103
01:07:38,930 --> 01:07:37,559
parallel and that will reduce the total

1104
01:07:41,210 --> 01:07:38,940
time of

1105
01:07:44,260 --> 01:07:41,220
the operation starting right now by

1106
01:07:44,270 --> 01:07:48,589
[Music]

1107
01:07:52,549 --> 01:07:50,510
doing com checks even as they're getting

1108
01:07:54,890 --> 01:07:52,559
seated loud and clear from seat four how

1109
01:07:54,900 --> 01:07:58,569
years

1110
01:08:04,190 --> 01:08:02,210
ms-1 Comcheck

1111
01:08:06,289 --> 01:08:04,200
and loud and clear ms-1 from seat one

1112
01:08:09,410 --> 01:08:06,299
help me

1113
01:08:11,930 --> 01:08:09,420
I got a loud and clear

1114
01:08:14,150 --> 01:08:11,940
and a great view of Andre's Buckle there

1115
01:08:16,189 --> 01:08:14,160
so it's a five-point harness

1116
01:08:18,110 --> 01:08:16,199
um the crew can totally do it on their

1117
01:08:19,729 --> 01:08:18,120
own but just to save wear and tear on

1118
01:08:22,070 --> 01:08:19,739
the suits a lot of times the ground crew

1119
01:08:23,450 --> 01:08:22,080
will will help with doing that and that

1120
01:08:26,269 --> 01:08:23,460
way it makes sure it's really cinched

1121
01:08:28,189 --> 01:08:26,279
down so the way each on that circular

1122
01:08:29,990 --> 01:08:28,199
harness around his waist each of the

1123
01:08:31,430 --> 01:08:30,000
waist straps and then the leg and the

1124
01:08:33,169 --> 01:08:31,440
shoulders connected into a slot and then

1125
01:08:34,970 --> 01:08:33,179
to get out you rotate it

1126
01:08:36,349 --> 01:08:34,980
counterclockwise or clockwise and all

1127
01:08:39,829 --> 01:08:36,359
five pop out

1128
01:08:41,209 --> 01:08:39,839
similar to a harness in a Jet right it's

1129
01:08:43,849 --> 01:08:41,219
actually very similar to like an F-35

1130
01:08:45,890 --> 01:08:43,859
harness yep same kind of design

1131
01:08:49,269 --> 01:08:45,900
and there's of course you flew the F-35

1132
01:08:53,110 --> 01:08:49,279
and the F-16

1133
01:08:59,269 --> 01:08:56,990
15E and then F-35 F35 okay don't worry

1134
01:09:05,269 --> 01:08:59,279
it's okay for people who fly the F-16 I

1135
01:09:09,950 --> 01:09:07,789
well the F-35 certainly the tip of the

1136
01:09:11,390 --> 01:09:09,960
spear when it comes to the Air Force and

1137
01:09:13,430 --> 01:09:11,400
you were involved that program for a

1138
01:09:14,749 --> 01:09:13,440
while I was yep I think the only job I

1139
01:09:16,010 --> 01:09:14,759
would have left that job for was this

1140
01:09:18,050 --> 01:09:16,020
job

1141
01:09:20,209 --> 01:09:18,060
we're glad you're here

1142
01:09:21,349 --> 01:09:20,219
had an incredibly successful crew 3

1143
01:09:23,090 --> 01:09:21,359
mission

1144
01:09:26,030 --> 01:09:23,100
you were the commander of and you had

1145
01:09:28,669 --> 01:09:26,040
some great astronauts along with you

1146
01:09:30,590 --> 01:09:28,679
yeah so flew with a Tom marshburn uh was

1147
01:09:32,269 --> 01:09:30,600
our our pilot he had been on that he had

1148
01:09:34,070 --> 01:09:32,279
been on a shuttle on a soyuz so just a

1149
01:09:36,769 --> 01:09:34,080
great asset to have some some wide

1150
01:09:39,410 --> 01:09:36,779
breadth Kayla Baron classmate of mine uh

1151
01:09:42,169 --> 01:09:39,420
also yeah fellow Turtle uh submarine or

1152
01:09:44,390 --> 01:09:42,179
uh yeah and so following and Steve's

1153
01:09:47,150 --> 01:09:44,400
footsteps and uh and then Matthias

1154
01:09:49,130 --> 01:09:47,160
Maurer uh from Issa the German astronaut

1155
01:09:50,510 --> 01:09:49,140
his first space flight as well and just

1156
01:09:52,910 --> 01:09:50,520
awesome to get to work with all of them

1157
01:09:54,890 --> 01:09:52,920
it was uh yeah it was a time of our life

1158
01:09:57,169 --> 01:09:54,900
up there honestly

1159
01:09:59,689 --> 01:09:57,179
and for those who wonder about what you

1160
01:10:01,790 --> 01:09:59,699
mean when you talk about the turtles

1161
01:10:04,550 --> 01:10:01,800
it's a class of turtles right when you

1162
01:10:06,169 --> 01:10:04,560
graduated uh into being an astronaut

1163
01:10:07,689 --> 01:10:06,179
right so a bale of turtles is the

1164
01:10:10,430 --> 01:10:07,699
technical term

1165
01:10:11,930 --> 01:10:10,440
of turtles if you will yeah so the the

1166
01:10:14,150 --> 01:10:11,940
tradition in the astronaut office is the

1167
01:10:16,970 --> 01:10:14,160
previous class names the incoming class

1168
01:10:18,350 --> 01:10:16,980
so we were named the turtles by the 2013

1169
01:10:22,090 --> 01:10:18,360
class

1170
01:10:24,590 --> 01:10:22,100
um somewhat as a uh

1171
01:10:26,330 --> 01:10:24,600
I think slightly derogatory meant to be

1172
01:10:27,709 --> 01:10:26,340
slow but we took it it's quite the

1173
01:10:30,770 --> 01:10:27,719
compliment so when the the vice

1174
01:10:32,450 --> 01:10:30,780
president announced our class in 2017 he

1175
01:10:34,070 --> 01:10:32,460
made the analogy that when he grew up if

1176
01:10:36,050 --> 01:10:34,080
you saw a turtle on a fence post you

1177
01:10:38,090 --> 01:10:36,060
knew it didn't get there by itself so we

1178
01:10:39,709 --> 01:10:38,100
take it as a definite nod to all the

1179
01:10:41,090 --> 01:10:39,719
people that got us here was

1180
01:10:43,130 --> 01:10:41,100
um the reality is whether it's family

1181
01:10:45,950 --> 01:10:43,140
friends the trainers at the different

1182
01:10:47,270 --> 01:10:45,960
centers uh we are just the doers the

1183
01:10:48,770 --> 01:10:47,280
eyes and the ears for the mission

1184
01:10:51,229 --> 01:10:48,780
control the flight controllers the

1185
01:10:52,070 --> 01:10:51,239
scientists and our families to to do the

1186
01:10:53,450 --> 01:10:52,080
work

1187
01:10:55,550 --> 01:10:53,460
um so yeah we definitely did not get

1188
01:10:57,649 --> 01:10:55,560
here by ourselves and so we we love the

1189
01:10:59,810 --> 01:10:57,659
the turtle term and proud to be sending

1190
01:11:01,370 --> 01:10:59,820
Woody up there to continue the Kathy

1191
01:11:03,470 --> 01:11:01,380
mentioned a continuous U.S presence in

1192
01:11:04,729 --> 01:11:03,480
space since for 22 years we've had a

1193
01:11:07,010 --> 01:11:04,739
continuous Turtle presence in space

1194
01:11:09,229 --> 01:11:07,020
since 2021

1195
01:11:11,510 --> 01:11:09,239
which is of course worth mentioning

1196
01:11:14,390 --> 01:11:11,520
um but most the more important stack

1197
01:11:16,189 --> 01:11:14,400
and I had also heard that you know

1198
01:11:19,010 --> 01:11:16,199
poignantly

1199
01:11:22,370 --> 01:11:19,020
um Turtles was fitting because when you

1200
01:11:24,410 --> 01:11:22,380
uh graduated it was uh hurricane Harvey

1201
01:11:25,850 --> 01:11:24,420
that's right yeah when we showed up put

1202
01:11:28,189 --> 01:11:25,860
a lot of water down in the Houston area

1203
01:11:29,390 --> 01:11:28,199
that was also a big part of it yep you

1204
01:11:30,410 --> 01:11:29,400
can see they're doing zipper checks

1205
01:11:32,810 --> 01:11:30,420
right now

1206
01:11:34,850 --> 01:11:32,820
um so there's a each of the there's

1207
01:11:36,890 --> 01:11:34,860
three main zippers one that goes from

1208
01:11:39,350 --> 01:11:36,900
one leg to the other and then one on

1209
01:11:41,390 --> 01:11:39,360
each arm uh and on each of those there's

1210
01:11:42,590 --> 01:11:41,400
an inner bladder layer which is the

1211
01:11:44,030 --> 01:11:42,600
actual pressure garment and then the

1212
01:11:45,590 --> 01:11:44,040
outer layer is the restraint layer and

1213
01:11:48,950 --> 01:11:45,600
then down on the boots they actually

1214
01:11:50,990 --> 01:11:48,960
have a boot zipper on top of that but in

1215
01:11:52,130 --> 01:11:51,000
each case on the three main zippers

1216
01:11:53,209 --> 01:11:52,140
there's a white tooth that they're

1217
01:11:54,890 --> 01:11:53,219
looking for and you get a two-person

1218
01:11:56,689 --> 01:11:54,900
check so the person that does it looks

1219
01:11:58,669 --> 01:11:56,699
for it and then someone else visually

1220
01:12:00,350 --> 01:11:58,679
verifies that white tooth is visible

1221
01:12:03,229 --> 01:12:00,360
that which guarantees that the pressure

1222
01:12:06,649 --> 01:12:03,239
uh the pressure garment is sealed

1223
01:12:09,590 --> 01:12:06,659
get that good seal critical safety

1224
01:12:11,990 --> 01:12:09,600
component for these suits got another

1225
01:12:15,050 --> 01:12:12,000
social question Raja and this one is

1226
01:12:17,090 --> 01:12:15,060
about one of your fellow astronauts

1227
01:12:19,729 --> 01:12:17,100
at Ian banecken

1228
01:12:22,729 --> 01:12:19,739
asks do you miss your German space

1229
01:12:24,530 --> 01:12:22,739
brother Astro Matias and did he teach

1230
01:12:26,570 --> 01:12:24,540
you something in German during your six

1231
01:12:28,070 --> 01:12:26,580
months in space Oh yeah we definitely

1232
01:12:30,830 --> 01:12:28,080
missed Matthias one of the weird things

1233
01:12:32,570 --> 01:12:30,840
when you come back is so uh we you spend

1234
01:12:34,310 --> 01:12:32,580
you know your work day together and your

1235
01:12:36,229 --> 01:12:34,320
down time together for six months and

1236
01:12:37,850 --> 01:12:36,239
then when we came back uh you take a

1237
01:12:40,490 --> 01:12:37,860
Gulf Stream back

1238
01:12:41,870 --> 01:12:40,500
um to JSC or to Ellington and then JSC

1239
01:12:43,189 --> 01:12:41,880
and then he gets whised away so after

1240
01:12:45,709 --> 01:12:43,199
seeing him for six months all of a

1241
01:12:47,570 --> 01:12:45,719
sudden he's gone uh so it was almost

1242
01:12:49,729 --> 01:12:47,580
like having someone in her family ripped

1243
01:12:50,870 --> 01:12:49,739
out of the house a very uh yeah we

1244
01:12:52,130 --> 01:12:50,880
definitely missed Matthias it's good

1245
01:12:54,050 --> 01:12:52,140
whenever he gets back to visit us in

1246
01:12:55,729 --> 01:12:54,060
terms of learning German I think there's

1247
01:12:57,410 --> 01:12:55,739
I think he had his birthday up there so

1248
01:12:58,970 --> 01:12:57,420
we definitely learned that and honestly

1249
01:13:00,229 --> 01:12:58,980
after happy birthday in Germany honestly

1250
01:13:01,250 --> 01:13:00,239
I forgot that

1251
01:13:02,630 --> 01:13:01,260
um I'm supposed to know how to speak

1252
01:13:06,169 --> 01:13:02,640
Russian as well because we learned that

1253
01:13:09,070 --> 01:13:06,179
as part of our training and I yeah it's

1254
01:13:11,810 --> 01:13:09,080
you were working on the Russian playlist

1255
01:13:13,669 --> 01:13:11,820
I was able to read the the songs that

1256
01:13:15,470 --> 01:13:13,679
Andre had on his list like I have a

1257
01:13:18,070 --> 01:13:15,480
little bit but by German his Escape me

1258
01:13:20,750 --> 01:13:18,080
oh well

1259
01:13:23,149 --> 01:13:20,760
don't use it but exactly yeah Matthias

1260
01:13:28,010 --> 01:13:23,159
would be disappointing but

1261
01:13:32,090 --> 01:13:30,169
so again way ahead of schedule here so

1262
01:13:35,090 --> 01:13:32,100
normally on the the timeline the crew is

1263
01:13:36,290 --> 01:13:35,100
using about about 235 prior launch would

1264
01:13:37,669 --> 01:13:36,300
be crew Ingress and you can see they're

1265
01:13:40,310 --> 01:13:37,679
already much pretty pretty much there

1266
01:13:44,810 --> 01:13:43,189
uh so kind of doing some more checks

1267
01:13:46,310 --> 01:13:44,820
here so they're basically having the

1268
01:13:48,830 --> 01:13:46,320
crew make sure that so you can see those

1269
01:13:50,390 --> 01:13:48,840
white loops on their straps they're

1270
01:13:52,010 --> 01:13:50,400
meant so that the crew can find those

1271
01:13:54,110 --> 01:13:52,020
and pull them tight so that gives them

1272
01:13:55,729 --> 01:13:54,120
leverage to pull down and tighten the

1273
01:13:57,229 --> 01:13:55,739
restraints and so there's four of them

1274
01:13:58,550 --> 01:13:57,239
two for their shoulders and you can see

1275
01:14:00,290 --> 01:13:58,560
like Woody you can see a little bit of

1276
01:14:01,910 --> 01:14:00,300
example about underneath his hands you

1277
01:14:03,410 --> 01:14:01,920
can see there's kind of a grouping of

1278
01:14:05,270 --> 01:14:03,420
four of them so two for his shoulders

1279
01:14:06,830 --> 01:14:05,280
two for the legs and there's also toe

1280
01:14:08,689 --> 01:14:06,840
Loops which you can kind of see on

1281
01:14:11,330 --> 01:14:08,699
Steve's you can see them up near like

1282
01:14:13,130 --> 01:14:11,340
where the uh like the top of his foot

1283
01:14:15,169 --> 01:14:13,140
and that and those we talked about

1284
01:14:16,669 --> 01:14:15,179
sliding your foot into that restraint

1285
01:14:18,470 --> 01:14:16,679
and then the loop goes over that that

1286
01:14:19,970 --> 01:14:18,480
you then tighten with those straps so

1287
01:14:21,649 --> 01:14:19,980
that's basically what they're doing now

1288
01:14:24,110 --> 01:14:21,659
is checking each one of those four on

1289
01:14:25,729 --> 01:14:24,120
all four crew and making sure that

1290
01:14:28,370 --> 01:14:25,739
they're not too tight especially for

1291
01:14:30,169 --> 01:14:28,380
their feet and completely restrained on

1292
01:14:33,050 --> 01:14:30,179
their shoulders that was a great shot we

1293
01:14:35,510 --> 01:14:33,060
just saw by the SpaceX camera team that

1294
01:14:38,450 --> 01:14:35,520
showed one of their closeout crew

1295
01:14:41,030 --> 01:14:38,460
members exiting the spacecraft you gotta

1296
01:14:46,910 --> 01:14:41,040
feel as he went through it just how

1297
01:14:50,390 --> 01:14:49,010
we've been following the launch teams as

1298
01:14:51,410 --> 01:14:50,400
they continue working through the

1299
01:14:54,169 --> 01:14:51,420
countdown

1300
01:14:56,990 --> 01:14:54,179
currently no issues are in work at the

1301
01:15:00,050 --> 01:14:57,000
moment earlier this evening around 7 PM

1302
01:15:03,050 --> 01:15:00,060
eastern time there was a hydraulic leak

1303
01:15:06,010 --> 01:15:03,060
detected out at the pad but it was a

1304
01:15:09,050 --> 01:15:06,020
minor one one they were able to get

1305
01:15:11,330 --> 01:15:09,060
repaired pretty quickly

1306
01:15:14,870 --> 01:15:11,340
and didn't disturb the count as we see

1307
01:15:17,450 --> 01:15:14,880
our crew waving goodbye

1308
01:15:19,970 --> 01:15:17,460
before the SpaceX cameraman

1309
01:15:22,070 --> 01:15:19,980
exits the capsule

1310
01:15:23,870 --> 01:15:22,080
you see over Woody's right shoulder the

1311
01:15:25,610 --> 01:15:23,880
three previous stickers of the crews

1312
01:15:27,169 --> 01:15:25,620
that have flown and Endeavor so once

1313
01:15:29,450 --> 01:15:27,179
they get on orbits I'm sure they've got

1314
01:15:32,090 --> 01:15:29,460
a sticker in one of their pockets to add

1315
01:15:34,310 --> 01:15:32,100
to that that bulkhead back there it's a

1316
01:15:38,450 --> 01:15:34,320
great uh observation there Raja because

1317
01:15:43,250 --> 01:15:40,790
the fourth flight for the dragon

1318
01:15:46,010 --> 01:15:43,260
Endeavor SpaceX copies stand by for

1319
01:15:49,130 --> 01:15:46,020
umbilical Comcheck

1320
01:15:51,890 --> 01:15:49,140
the first three were demo two Crew 2 and

1321
01:15:53,330 --> 01:15:51,900
Axiom one which was up at station when

1322
01:15:55,970 --> 01:15:53,340
you were there they were which the first

1323
01:15:57,470 --> 01:15:55,980
uh private mission to the U.S segments

1324
01:15:59,149 --> 01:15:57,480
uh first time we've launched private

1325
01:16:01,130 --> 01:15:59,159
astronauts from the US so yeah a pretty

1326
01:16:02,330 --> 01:16:01,140
historic Mission and and just the start

1327
01:16:03,590 --> 01:16:02,340
of things to come you heard Kathy

1328
01:16:05,390 --> 01:16:03,600
leaders mentioned Axiom 2 will be

1329
01:16:08,030 --> 01:16:05,400
launching in the near future so we're

1330
01:16:09,229 --> 01:16:08,040
definitely uh take incorporating the

1331
01:16:11,390 --> 01:16:09,239
lessons learned and then moving forward

1332
01:16:13,669 --> 01:16:11,400
yeah what was that like you've got you

1333
01:16:15,830 --> 01:16:13,679
know your NASA job to do up in space and

1334
01:16:17,689 --> 01:16:15,840
then you're also helping private

1335
01:16:19,729 --> 01:16:17,699
astronauts yeah we enjoyed it I think

1336
01:16:21,649 --> 01:16:19,739
that the key is partnering on the

1337
01:16:23,450 --> 01:16:21,659
science so they bring I think the

1338
01:16:24,610 --> 01:16:23,460
interesting thing is you've got uh

1339
01:16:38,750 --> 01:16:24,620
private

1340
01:16:45,050 --> 01:16:41,810
Commander loud and clear

1341
01:16:52,430 --> 01:16:47,930
pilot loud and clear

1342
01:16:52,440 --> 01:16:57,590
ms1 loud and clear

1343
01:17:04,490 --> 01:17:01,669
um MS2 got volunteer

1344
01:17:06,050 --> 01:17:04,500
MS2 loud and clear

1345
01:17:15,050 --> 01:17:06,060
umbilical com checks are complete report

1346
01:17:19,910 --> 01:17:17,149
as we get ready for the seat rotation

1347
01:17:22,310 --> 01:17:19,920
watching all four articulate upwards so

1348
01:17:24,050 --> 01:17:22,320
they can get into launch position

1349
01:17:26,209 --> 01:17:24,060
I want to make a correction it's a

1350
01:17:28,790 --> 01:17:26,219
camera woman with SpaceX who's getting

1351
01:17:31,610 --> 01:17:28,800
those fabulous shots

1352
01:17:34,310 --> 01:17:31,620
relying on her to give us SpaceX Dragon

1353
01:17:36,590 --> 01:17:34,320
the crew is ready for sleep rotation

1354
01:17:39,890 --> 01:17:36,600
these great views that we see

1355
01:17:41,689 --> 01:17:39,900
and this view right here in fact she's

1356
01:17:47,390 --> 01:17:41,699
shooting it right now

1357
01:17:51,950 --> 01:17:49,669
I'm sure it's a challenge to

1358
01:17:53,689 --> 01:17:51,960
not only maintain that steady shot in

1359
01:17:55,130 --> 01:17:53,699
that very small hatch but she also has

1360
01:17:56,630 --> 01:17:55,140
to maneuver around the team making sure

1361
01:17:59,090 --> 01:17:56,640
that she doesn't interfere with the

1362
01:18:00,410 --> 01:17:59,100
operations exactly yeah so there you can

1363
01:18:02,870 --> 01:18:00,420
see the seats moving so they're in

1364
01:18:04,550 --> 01:18:02,880
procedure 4.100 on the display so that's

1365
01:18:06,830 --> 01:18:04,560
what Woody was interacting with there a

1366
01:18:08,209 --> 01:18:06,840
second ago that Comcheck they did before

1367
01:18:10,010 --> 01:18:08,219
was just checking the Hardline

1368
01:18:11,689 --> 01:18:10,020
Communications so their umbilicals

1369
01:18:13,149 --> 01:18:11,699
through the spacecraft through the

1370
01:18:16,130 --> 01:18:13,159
umbilical to the ground

1371
01:18:17,870 --> 01:18:16,140
then they are now in 4.100 for seat

1372
01:18:19,189 --> 01:18:17,880
rotation so you saw him talking before

1373
01:18:21,709 --> 01:18:19,199
Steve said they're ready that was just

1374
01:18:23,689 --> 01:18:21,719
making sure they verified visually that

1375
01:18:25,490 --> 01:18:23,699
all their arms and everything was clear

1376
01:18:27,110 --> 01:18:25,500
of the translation path of the seats you

1377
01:18:28,970 --> 01:18:27,120
don't want anything getting pinched

1378
01:18:30,169 --> 01:18:28,980
and then what they're watching now on

1379
01:18:32,030 --> 01:18:30,179
the displays is What's called the attack

1380
01:18:34,250 --> 01:18:32,040
count which is the motor that's running

1381
01:18:35,270 --> 01:18:34,260
the seats to see if anything is out of

1382
01:18:36,890 --> 01:18:35,280
limits

1383
01:18:37,910 --> 01:18:36,900
looks like was a good rotation and

1384
01:18:41,090 --> 01:18:37,920
they'll probably report that here

1385
01:18:43,669 --> 01:18:41,100
shortly from the core

1386
01:18:45,050 --> 01:18:43,679
and you can see make a cool motor you

1387
01:18:48,050 --> 01:18:45,060
can't actually hear it you know you can

1388
01:18:51,470 --> 01:18:48,060
it's more like Dragon SpaceX seats in

1389
01:18:51,480 --> 01:18:55,430
SpaceX tracking copies

1390
01:18:58,430 --> 01:18:57,050
now you can see a great view underneath

1391
01:18:59,570 --> 01:18:58,440
their seats of what else they're taking

1392
01:19:01,910 --> 01:18:59,580
up to the space station with them so

1393
01:19:04,070 --> 01:19:01,920
those Central ones there those are cold

1394
01:19:06,410 --> 01:19:04,080
lockers so definitely some kind of

1395
01:19:07,729 --> 01:19:06,420
Science in there that that has to be

1396
01:19:11,149 --> 01:19:07,739
preserved at a particular temperature

1397
01:19:12,590 --> 01:19:11,159
the left side uh the F2 look like it's

1398
01:19:14,090 --> 01:19:12,600
some kind of cargo with a forward two

1399
01:19:16,130 --> 01:19:14,100
which we can't quite see it's Survival

1400
01:19:19,490 --> 01:19:16,140
equipment that'd be the red and then the

1401
01:19:21,350 --> 01:19:19,500
right side looks like uh the semi larger

1402
01:19:24,229 --> 01:19:21,360
piece of cargo we call all those things

1403
01:19:26,209 --> 01:19:24,239
ctbs uh those containers

1404
01:19:29,209 --> 01:19:26,219
um and they are referred to by the size

1405
01:19:40,010 --> 01:19:29,219
your gopher section two suit leak check

1406
01:19:44,570 --> 01:19:42,470
so that bag is red for a reason right so

1407
01:19:47,090 --> 01:19:44,580
the easy spot exactly

1408
01:19:48,770 --> 01:19:47,100
so uh spot that real quick the timeline

1409
01:19:49,669 --> 01:19:48,780
so they have two displays up well three

1410
01:19:51,770 --> 01:19:49,679
displays but the two they're probably

1411
01:19:54,350 --> 01:19:51,780
looking at uh there's one's called a a

1412
01:19:56,510 --> 01:19:54,360
timeline or event details we call it um

1413
01:19:58,490 --> 01:19:56,520
normally start be ready for suit leak

1414
01:20:00,709 --> 01:19:58,500
checks about 214 from launch so again

1415
01:20:02,510 --> 01:20:00,719
running ahead which is good uh you heard

1416
01:20:04,010 --> 01:20:02,520
Arthur ask him or the core asked him to

1417
01:20:05,330 --> 01:20:04,020
get ready for the suit League check so

1418
01:20:07,669 --> 01:20:05,340
you saw him just pull their visors down

1419
01:20:10,189 --> 01:20:07,679
uh Steve's talking to him right now

1420
01:20:12,050 --> 01:20:10,199
about the reminder and remains still

1421
01:20:13,729 --> 01:20:12,060
um there is a way for the crew to stop a

1422
01:20:14,990 --> 01:20:13,739
leak check and the reason you would do

1423
01:20:16,610 --> 01:20:15,000
that because as it's pressurizing let's

1424
01:20:18,110 --> 01:20:16,620
say you got a hot spot in the suit that

1425
01:20:20,270 --> 01:20:18,120
pressure bladder for you know there's

1426
01:20:21,649 --> 01:20:20,280
folds and that so as it inflates it

1427
01:20:23,330 --> 01:20:21,659
could poke into the back of your knee

1428
01:20:26,209 --> 01:20:23,340
elbow a joint and so there is the

1429
01:20:28,970 --> 01:20:26,219
ability for the the crew to stop that uh

1430
01:20:30,470 --> 01:20:28,980
to if someone's experiencing pain

1431
01:20:32,209 --> 01:20:30,480
come in there and make the adjustment

1432
01:20:34,550 --> 01:20:32,219
exactly yep

1433
01:20:36,590 --> 01:20:34,560
and so they'll leave the door open right

1434
01:20:39,470 --> 01:20:36,600
reason yep

1435
01:20:40,669 --> 01:20:39,480
yeah and also if they're the suit fails

1436
01:20:42,290 --> 01:20:40,679
the league check they've got some

1437
01:20:43,370 --> 01:20:42,300
components up in the white room there

1438
01:20:45,950 --> 01:20:43,380
where they could come try to fix

1439
01:20:47,570 --> 01:20:45,960
something but the reason they did SpaceX

1440
01:20:52,550 --> 01:20:47,580
dragons hair is complete and you're

1441
01:20:57,590 --> 01:20:54,890
SpaceX copies you are go for section

1442
01:20:59,810 --> 01:20:57,600
three suit League check

1443
01:21:01,430 --> 01:20:59,820
and we are go for section three suit

1444
01:21:02,810 --> 01:21:01,440
League checked that's in work

1445
01:21:04,729 --> 01:21:02,820
so the whole reason they do the leak

1446
01:21:07,189 --> 01:21:04,739
checks in the suit room is to find any

1447
01:21:08,570 --> 01:21:07,199
gross malfunction uh and know that the

1448
01:21:10,610 --> 01:21:08,580
suit is fine so if there were something

1449
01:21:12,110 --> 01:21:10,620
between the suit ribbon now you would

1450
01:21:13,729 --> 01:21:12,120
suspect it was probably a zipper just

1451
01:21:18,110 --> 01:21:13,739
not being fully sealed versus something

1452
01:21:22,010 --> 01:21:19,970
so right now we're seeing those suits

1453
01:21:23,209 --> 01:21:22,020
inflate uh not quite yet so we'll see

1454
01:21:24,410 --> 01:21:23,219
them yeah the way you'll know is you'll

1455
01:21:25,910 --> 01:21:24,420
see their arms kind of go out like

1456
01:21:27,290 --> 01:21:25,920
zombies eventually which they're just

1457
01:21:29,810 --> 01:21:27,300
kind of they're stretching out right now

1458
01:21:31,970 --> 01:21:29,820
they're looking at what's called a suit

1459
01:21:32,990 --> 01:21:31,980
transducer so they have they're wanting

1460
01:21:51,950 --> 01:21:33,000
to make sure it's in zero you'll hear

1461
01:21:56,149 --> 01:21:54,530
yep and now it looks like based on where

1462
01:21:58,130 --> 01:21:56,159
Andre's head is at in the helmet looks

1463
01:22:00,590 --> 01:21:58,140
like it is inflating now as you can see

1464
01:22:02,990 --> 01:22:00,600
here you can see that the neck ring kind

1465
01:22:05,149 --> 01:22:03,000
of expanding which is why on the ground

1466
01:22:06,709 --> 01:22:05,159
uh you see that helmet down on the top

1467
01:22:08,870 --> 01:22:06,719
of their head but now once inflated you

1468
01:22:10,130 --> 01:22:08,880
can see why the suit is built that way

1469
01:22:11,930 --> 01:22:10,140
in restrained as you can see now you can

1470
01:22:14,030 --> 01:22:11,940
see his nose before he can see his mouth

1471
01:22:15,770 --> 01:22:14,040
so it pushes the helmet up a little bit

1472
01:22:18,590 --> 01:22:15,780
right yep

1473
01:22:19,729 --> 01:22:18,600
and you can see Woody and Andre's hands

1474
01:22:28,430 --> 01:22:19,739
kind of you can see their knees look way

1475
01:22:32,750 --> 01:22:31,010
and so they have an indication of what

1476
01:22:34,970 --> 01:22:32,760
the suit pressure in each seat is at by

1477
01:22:38,149 --> 01:22:34,980
by individual and they're waiting to see

1478
01:22:39,950 --> 01:22:38,159
if it holds steady at full pressure

1479
01:22:41,270 --> 01:22:39,960
and you can see at this point the last

1480
01:22:42,649 --> 01:22:41,280
basically 30 seconds are kind of

1481
01:22:44,330 --> 01:22:42,659
critical you try not to move is if you

1482
01:22:45,470 --> 01:22:44,340
move that can actually throw off the

1483
01:22:47,270 --> 01:22:45,480
reading

1484
01:22:49,910 --> 01:22:47,280
and so at the same time that they're

1485
01:22:51,350 --> 01:22:49,920
performing these suit leak checks new

1486
01:22:54,770 --> 01:22:51,360
for this mission

1487
01:22:57,350 --> 01:22:54,780
SpaceX is also right now performing the

1488
01:23:00,050 --> 01:22:57,360
side hatch inspection this is part of

1489
01:23:02,390 --> 01:23:00,060
them doing those operations in parallel

1490
01:23:05,450 --> 01:23:02,400
that I mentioned earlier which will save

1491
01:23:07,070 --> 01:23:05,460
them time and build time into the margin

1492
01:23:08,870 --> 01:23:07,080
exactly just in case they need it yeah

1493
01:23:10,490 --> 01:23:08,880
wherever you can buy margin because

1494
01:23:12,649 --> 01:23:10,500
these are all instantaneous launch

1495
01:23:13,910 --> 01:23:12,659
Windows meaning if there are problems

1496
01:23:15,530 --> 01:23:13,920
you know unlike a shuttle launch where

1497
01:23:17,630 --> 01:23:15,540
there's built-in holes this one is a

1498
01:23:19,910 --> 01:23:17,640
continuously running clock so anytime

1499
01:23:22,310 --> 01:23:19,920
you can buy yourself margin for having

1500
01:23:34,729 --> 01:23:22,320
problems that that's great our t0

1501
01:23:39,890 --> 01:23:37,370
the range continues to report no issues

1502
01:23:42,470 --> 01:23:39,900
so we're looking good there also Raja

1503
01:23:45,229 --> 01:23:42,480
the weather forecast continues to be

1504
01:23:48,110 --> 01:23:45,239
acceptable take a look at this just like

1505
01:23:50,990 --> 01:23:48,120
on Sunday only a five percent chance of

1506
01:23:53,330 --> 01:23:51,000
violation for weather the only concern

1507
01:23:56,209 --> 01:23:53,340
would be a flight through precipitation

1508
01:23:59,570 --> 01:23:56,219
which would come in the form of a cloud

1509
01:24:01,370 --> 01:23:59,580
next dragon four nominal suits

1510
01:24:03,590 --> 01:24:01,380
well there you had the four good suit

1511
01:24:05,330 --> 01:24:03,600
League checks SpaceX copies and curse

1512
01:24:07,490 --> 01:24:05,340
closeout team will now perform final

1513
01:24:09,950 --> 01:24:07,500
closeout steps and exit the capsule

1514
01:24:11,870 --> 01:24:09,960
proceed to section four

1515
01:24:14,510 --> 01:24:11,880
side hatch close and Report when ready

1516
01:24:19,070 --> 01:24:14,520
to close the hatch additionally stand by

1517
01:24:24,169 --> 01:24:22,790
hopping for section four Assad hash

1518
01:24:26,270 --> 01:24:24,179
it's good to hear the good suits and

1519
01:24:29,270 --> 01:24:26,280
there we see them already well underway

1520
01:24:31,070 --> 01:24:29,280
with that side hatch inspection

1521
01:24:34,189 --> 01:24:31,080
if so I'd expect the crew will pop their

1522
01:24:36,530 --> 01:24:34,199
advisors back open here shortly

1523
01:24:37,850 --> 01:24:36,540
and then uh the core mentions you can

1524
01:24:39,229 --> 01:24:37,860
see I'm opening now and you can

1525
01:24:40,850 --> 01:24:39,239
definitely see it's a good example there

1526
01:24:42,229 --> 01:24:40,860
now you can see Andre with the way his

1527
01:24:43,490 --> 01:24:42,239
helmet sits when it's depressurized you

1528
01:24:45,110 --> 01:24:43,500
can see all the way down to his chins

1529
01:24:46,669 --> 01:24:45,120
you can see how that the suit expands

1530
01:24:48,770 --> 01:24:46,679
when it's inflated

1531
01:24:51,110 --> 01:24:48,780
want to wrap up the weather

1532
01:24:53,689 --> 01:24:51,120
before we get too far away from it only

1533
01:24:57,169 --> 01:24:53,699
a five percent chance of violation for

1534
01:25:01,130 --> 01:24:57,179
launch from here and SpaceX Dragon crew

1535
01:25:05,330 --> 01:25:02,990
so the crew's ready for the side hatch

1536
01:25:07,430 --> 01:25:05,340
to be closed but the closeout crew

1537
01:25:11,390 --> 01:25:07,440
continues to inspect and document SpaceX

1538
01:25:15,890 --> 01:25:13,550
the launch Team still monitoring the

1539
01:25:18,169 --> 01:25:15,900
weather in the ascent corridor

1540
01:25:22,370 --> 01:25:18,179
and I understand from our team at JSC

1541
01:25:27,410 --> 01:25:24,890
we're green to go at the moment but they

1542
01:25:29,630 --> 01:25:27,420
are monitoring that closely of course

1543
01:25:32,689 --> 01:25:29,640
this is the winds and the Sea States

1544
01:25:35,510 --> 01:25:32,699
along the ascent Corridor should

1545
01:25:37,550 --> 01:25:35,520
now for some reason Dragon need to abort

1546
01:25:40,430 --> 01:25:37,560
off the top of the Falcon 9 it would

1547
01:25:42,470 --> 01:25:40,440
need to splash down somewhere along the

1548
01:25:44,570 --> 01:25:42,480
Eastern Seaboard and you got to have

1549
01:25:46,550 --> 01:25:44,580
good weather conditions because those

1550
01:25:48,709 --> 01:25:46,560
astronauts will be landing in the ocean

1551
01:25:51,350 --> 01:25:48,719
in the case of emergency and they could

1552
01:25:53,750 --> 01:25:51,360
be there for an hour or two before they

1553
01:25:55,550 --> 01:25:53,760
are rescued from the capsule and you

1554
01:25:57,410 --> 01:25:55,560
want to have good sea States for any

1555
01:25:59,030 --> 01:25:57,420
kind of rescue to happen exactly yeah so

1556
01:26:01,010 --> 01:25:59,040
that's the key thing and they can

1557
01:26:03,470 --> 01:26:01,020
somewhat sometimes be frustrating if the

1558
01:26:05,149 --> 01:26:03,480
weather is beautiful here but uh bad

1559
01:26:06,649 --> 01:26:05,159
along the Eastern Seaboard and it's not

1560
01:26:08,870 --> 01:26:06,659
just unique to Dragon actually when I

1561
01:26:11,270 --> 01:26:08,880
was talking to Steve about this scrub he

1562
01:26:13,729 --> 01:26:11,280
so you mentioned he flew on sts-126 and

1563
01:26:15,290 --> 01:26:13,739
that's just yes 127 which is the

1564
01:26:17,390 --> 01:26:15,300
following shuttle flight he was the lead

1565
01:26:18,770 --> 01:26:17,400
astronaut closeout crew and they had six

1566
01:26:21,410 --> 01:26:18,780
scrubs and two of those where the

1567
01:26:23,990 --> 01:26:21,420
weather was beautiful here but not along

1568
01:26:25,729 --> 01:26:24,000
not along the ascent Corridor but yeah

1569
01:26:27,350 --> 01:26:25,739
it's a very it's important for both the

1570
01:26:29,450 --> 01:26:27,360
capsule and for the recovery teams as

1571
01:26:30,950 --> 01:26:29,460
well so if the the winds and waves are

1572
01:26:32,030 --> 01:26:30,960
out of limits that can be a problem for

1573
01:26:33,770 --> 01:26:32,040
the capsule Landing in the water

1574
01:26:36,169 --> 01:26:33,780
specifically the What's called the back

1575
01:26:37,310 --> 01:26:36,179
shell or the bottom of the capsule and

1576
01:26:39,770 --> 01:26:37,320
then the other problem is yeah actually

1577
01:26:41,090 --> 01:26:39,780
getting a recovery team to them if

1578
01:26:43,010 --> 01:26:41,100
you've got really bad weather conditions

1579
01:26:44,810 --> 01:26:43,020
it's dangerous for them as well so we

1580
01:26:46,970 --> 01:26:44,820
try to protect you need to protect for

1581
01:26:49,970 --> 01:26:46,980
that entire case and that whole Corridor

1582
01:26:52,430 --> 01:26:49,980
and we also protect for uh some

1583
01:26:54,229 --> 01:26:52,440
trajectory deviations if you will so

1584
01:26:56,209 --> 01:26:54,239
um you know usually things are pretty

1585
01:26:58,790 --> 01:26:56,219
much right down the middle but we also

1586
01:27:00,530 --> 01:26:58,800
build in errors to that trajectory so

1587
01:27:02,750 --> 01:27:00,540
you actually have to build out a Zone

1588
01:27:05,030 --> 01:27:02,760
along the ascent Corridor it's not just

1589
01:27:06,169 --> 01:27:05,040
a straight line and so that adds even

1590
01:27:08,510 --> 01:27:06,179
more surface area and when you're

1591
01:27:09,770 --> 01:27:08,520
talking the ocean there's a lot of a lot

1592
01:27:12,110 --> 01:27:09,780
of weather there's a lot of ocean out

1593
01:27:15,229 --> 01:27:12,120
there yeah it is a large area of weather

1594
01:27:17,629 --> 01:27:15,239
that you need to be good to go before

1595
01:27:19,430 --> 01:27:17,639
you launch which is much different than

1596
01:27:21,530 --> 01:27:19,440
uncrewed launches and you're not

1597
01:27:23,570 --> 01:27:21,540
launching people you don't have to

1598
01:27:25,790 --> 01:27:23,580
monitor the weather to the extent that

1599
01:27:28,610 --> 01:27:25,800
you do on a night like tonight anytime

1600
01:27:32,390 --> 01:27:28,620
you're launching astronauts so it is a

1601
01:27:34,310 --> 01:27:32,400
it is a tighter needle to thread

1602
01:27:36,290 --> 01:27:34,320
yeah it is an impressive array of

1603
01:27:38,990 --> 01:27:36,300
recovery forces that are pre-positioned

1604
01:27:41,450 --> 01:27:39,000
uh to support this and so there's Navy

1605
01:27:43,729 --> 01:27:41,460
ships there's Air Force assets uh pair

1606
01:27:45,169 --> 01:27:43,739
rescue Personnel basically not just

1607
01:27:46,970 --> 01:27:45,179
along the east coast but on the west

1608
01:27:49,310 --> 01:27:46,980
coast out of Hickam Air Force Base in

1609
01:27:51,410 --> 01:27:49,320
Hawaii there's C-17 so pretty much it's

1610
01:27:54,169 --> 01:27:51,420
a worldwide posture other nations

1611
01:27:56,689 --> 01:27:54,179
volunteer to help so uh when you when

1612
01:27:58,430 --> 01:27:56,699
you hear them talk about the abort calls

1613
01:28:00,530 --> 01:27:58,440
on the way up they'll call Shannon which

1614
01:28:03,830 --> 01:28:00,540
is actually in Ireland so we have help

1615
01:28:06,950 --> 01:28:03,840
even from European Partners so it is

1616
01:28:08,510 --> 01:28:06,960
quite the choreographed effort to make

1617
01:28:10,729 --> 01:28:08,520
sure that they're safe all along the

1618
01:28:13,189 --> 01:28:10,739
ascent trajectory Shannon's a good Irish

1619
01:28:17,629 --> 01:28:13,199
name right for uh well yeah so on crew

1620
01:28:22,910 --> 01:28:19,669
and there's the Good Ship Shannon as

1621
01:28:28,189 --> 01:28:24,770
so you can see uh they're taking a look

1622
01:28:29,390 --> 01:28:28,199
at the hatch seals on the hatch side so

1623
01:28:30,709 --> 01:28:29,400
they already looked at the spacecraft

1624
01:28:32,450 --> 01:28:30,719
side while they're getting in that's why

1625
01:28:33,709 --> 01:28:32,460
you see Ninja 35 kind of holding in

1626
01:28:35,390 --> 01:28:33,719
position and someone tucked behind there

1627
01:28:36,830 --> 01:28:35,400
they're looking at the hatch side seals

1628
01:28:38,330 --> 01:28:36,840
as part of the inspection before they

1629
01:28:40,610 --> 01:28:38,340
close it up

1630
01:28:41,570 --> 01:28:40,620
and while they take a look at that we

1631
01:28:44,390 --> 01:28:41,580
want to

1632
01:28:46,430 --> 01:28:44,400
talk a little bit about the beginning of

1633
01:28:48,770 --> 01:28:46,440
this program and the history that was

1634
01:28:51,290 --> 01:28:48,780
made as well as

1635
01:28:54,530 --> 01:28:51,300
quite the honor that was bestowed on

1636
01:28:56,030 --> 01:28:54,540
raja's fellow astronauts we're launching

1637
01:28:58,370 --> 01:28:56,040
of course American astronauts on

1638
01:29:00,890 --> 01:28:58,380
American Rockets from American soil and

1639
01:29:02,810 --> 01:29:00,900
it all began with those two Trailblazers

1640
01:29:05,510 --> 01:29:02,820
of the commercial crew program Bob and

1641
01:29:07,790 --> 01:29:05,520
Doug who recently received the highest

1642
01:29:10,430 --> 01:29:07,800
civilian honor and Astronaut Kennedy

1643
01:29:12,110 --> 01:29:10,440
Dragon SpaceX closeout team is taking

1644
01:29:14,209 --> 01:29:12,120
final steps in prep for side hatch

1645
01:29:17,030 --> 01:29:14,219
closure standby for transition to pad

1646
01:29:22,010 --> 01:29:17,040
hatch closed and please ensure that all

1647
01:29:26,030 --> 01:29:23,750
it's my great honor

1648
01:29:29,870 --> 01:29:26,040
to award you both the Congressional

1649
01:29:31,669 --> 01:29:29,880
space Medal of Honor in January vice

1650
01:29:33,950 --> 01:29:31,679
president Kamala Harris spoke to a

1651
01:29:35,990 --> 01:29:33,960
packed room at the White House about the

1652
01:29:39,229 --> 01:29:36,000
dedication of NASA astronauts Doug

1653
01:29:41,270 --> 01:29:39,239
Hurley and Bob binkin Bob and Doug

1654
01:29:43,669 --> 01:29:41,280
represent the best of our nation

1655
01:29:45,709 --> 01:29:43,679
there's no question about it NASA

1656
01:29:48,290 --> 01:29:45,719
selected both men to be astronauts for

1657
01:29:50,209 --> 01:29:48,300
the space shuttle program in 2000 but

1658
01:29:53,390 --> 01:29:50,219
when the shuttle program ended 11 years

1659
01:29:55,790 --> 01:29:53,400
later Doug and Bob's work did not

1660
01:29:58,070 --> 01:29:55,800
NASA collaborated with the private

1661
01:30:01,070 --> 01:29:58,080
sector to build the next generation of

1662
01:30:03,350 --> 01:30:01,080
spacecraft every part of the capsule

1663
01:30:07,070 --> 01:30:03,360
from flight controls and emergency

1664
01:30:10,669 --> 01:30:07,080
procedures to computer displays and

1665
01:30:14,030 --> 01:30:10,679
cockpit layout all of that shaped by Bob

1666
01:30:17,030 --> 01:30:14,040
and Doug's Decades of know-how

1667
01:30:19,610 --> 01:30:17,040
and in May of 2020 the SpaceX crew

1668
01:30:22,729 --> 01:30:19,620
Dragon was ready to soar

1669
01:30:24,590 --> 01:30:22,739
Bob and Doug returned to the Kennedy

1670
01:30:26,629 --> 01:30:24,600
Space Center

1671
01:30:29,689 --> 01:30:26,639
they suited up

1672
01:30:32,870 --> 01:30:29,699
they waved to their families

1673
01:30:34,669 --> 01:30:32,880
and they rode an elevator up nearly 20

1674
01:30:37,669 --> 01:30:34,679
stories

1675
01:30:40,970 --> 01:30:37,679
they strapped in to their seats and

1676
01:30:43,610 --> 01:30:40,980
waited as the tanks beneath them filled

1677
01:30:45,649 --> 01:30:43,620
with tens of thousands of gallons of

1678
01:30:46,729 --> 01:30:45,659
fuel and then

1679
01:30:51,890 --> 01:30:46,739
three

1680
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:51,900
two one zero ignition liftoff of the

1681
01:30:59,570 --> 01:30:55,370
Falcon line and crew dragons dog

1682
01:31:04,610 --> 01:31:02,149
demo 2 was the first crude flight for

1683
01:31:08,090 --> 01:31:04,620
NASA's commercial crew program ushering

1684
01:31:10,970 --> 01:31:08,100
in a new era of human space flight

1685
01:31:13,550 --> 01:31:10,980
and now the names Doug Hurley and Bob

1686
01:31:16,070 --> 01:31:13,560
binkin have been added to an elite list

1687
01:31:18,169 --> 01:31:16,080
prior to the ceremony the Congressional

1688
01:31:20,629 --> 01:31:18,179
space Medal of Honor had only been given

1689
01:31:23,629 --> 01:31:20,639
to 28 people astronauts like Neil

1690
01:31:26,090 --> 01:31:23,639
Armstrong and John Glenn

1691
01:31:28,010 --> 01:31:26,100
we're following in their footsteps and

1692
01:31:30,470 --> 01:31:28,020
you know so it's just an incredible

1693
01:31:32,209 --> 01:31:30,480
incredible incredible honor it was

1694
01:31:34,250 --> 01:31:32,219
humbling to be a part of the mission you

1695
01:31:36,470 --> 01:31:34,260
know we got to be the smiling faces on

1696
01:31:39,410 --> 01:31:36,480
the pointy end of a rocket ship because

1697
01:31:41,510 --> 01:31:39,420
of their bravery missions like crew six

1698
01:31:44,450 --> 01:31:41,520
are happening today

1699
01:31:47,570 --> 01:31:44,460
Bob and Doug together

1700
01:31:49,669 --> 01:31:47,580
have written the first page

1701
01:31:51,290 --> 01:31:49,679
of a new chapter

1702
01:31:59,870 --> 01:31:51,300
in the history

1703
01:32:03,530 --> 01:32:02,330
well congratulations to both Bob and

1704
01:32:06,530 --> 01:32:03,540
Doug and

1705
01:32:09,290 --> 01:32:06,540
a well-deserved honor Doug Hurley

1706
01:32:11,090 --> 01:32:09,300
recently retiring from the astronaut

1707
01:32:13,490 --> 01:32:11,100
Corps Bob benkin

1708
01:32:16,129 --> 01:32:13,500
still cranking along in fact he came out

1709
01:32:19,490 --> 01:32:16,139
and was an astronaut co-host sitting in

1710
01:32:22,070 --> 01:32:19,500
your seat Raja for crew five

1711
01:32:23,990 --> 01:32:22,080
and it's a

1712
01:32:25,310 --> 01:32:24,000
it's a great contribution I like the

1713
01:32:27,169 --> 01:32:25,320
sound bite where he said you know the

1714
01:32:29,510 --> 01:32:27,179
smiling faces on the pointy end of a

1715
01:32:31,370 --> 01:32:29,520
rocket ship but they often you know gave

1716
01:32:35,030 --> 01:32:31,380
a lot of credit to

1717
01:32:37,090 --> 01:32:35,040
those around them who helped build

1718
01:32:40,010 --> 01:32:37,100
build the rocket build the spacecraft

1719
01:32:42,290 --> 01:32:40,020
train them get them

1720
01:32:45,110 --> 01:32:42,300
to where they needed to be in order to

1721
01:32:46,790 --> 01:32:45,120
have the confidence to ride a space

1722
01:32:48,649 --> 01:32:46,800
vehicle for the very first time and make

1723
01:32:50,090 --> 01:32:48,659
that historic flight yeah they were they

1724
01:32:53,209 --> 01:32:50,100
were really leaders of the team there's

1725
01:32:55,189 --> 01:32:53,219
no doubt about that and I I can't repeat

1726
01:32:57,050 --> 01:32:55,199
enough what the vice president said like

1727
01:32:58,970 --> 01:32:57,060
it literally is a new era of space

1728
01:33:00,830 --> 01:32:58,980
flight I mean you know Kathy leaders

1729
01:33:02,870 --> 01:33:00,840
mentioned like here we are on cruise six

1730
01:33:05,629 --> 01:33:02,880
who would have thought that then I mean

1731
01:33:07,430 --> 01:33:05,639
and just the way they designed that team

1732
01:33:09,770 --> 01:33:07,440
they're still things in training it's

1733
01:33:11,330 --> 01:33:09,780
very common to hear even as we talk

1734
01:33:12,830 --> 01:33:11,340
about Starship design stuff like that

1735
01:33:14,330 --> 01:33:12,840
for lunar lander with SpaceX but

1736
01:33:16,729 --> 01:33:14,340
definitely during dragon training flows

1737
01:33:17,870 --> 01:33:16,739
of like why is the display this way or

1738
01:33:19,250 --> 01:33:17,880
how you know this seems like a great

1739
01:33:23,030 --> 01:33:19,260
solution how do we come up with that

1740
01:33:25,610 --> 01:33:23,040
like oh Bob and Doug and they were uh so

1741
01:33:27,169 --> 01:33:25,620
inclusive on the in training as well I

1742
01:33:29,030 --> 01:33:27,179
distinctly remember getting to come out

1743
01:33:30,530 --> 01:33:29,040
on some trips and and Doug and Bob

1744
01:33:32,450 --> 01:33:30,540
having me sit in the capsule with them

1745
01:33:33,950 --> 01:33:32,460
and them taking the time not only

1746
01:33:35,870 --> 01:33:33,960
they're doing the sin but also showing

1747
01:33:37,370 --> 01:33:35,880
me like you know this is what this means

1748
01:33:39,470 --> 01:33:37,380
and this is why this display is doing

1749
01:33:42,050 --> 01:33:39,480
that so I mean they brought everyone one

1750
01:33:44,390 --> 01:33:42,060
along with them um and so I yeah it

1751
01:33:46,070 --> 01:33:44,400
wasn't there being very humble saying

1752
01:33:48,590 --> 01:33:46,080
yeah they they are riding the rocket but

1753
01:33:51,129 --> 01:33:48,600
they they brought that team along and um

1754
01:33:53,810 --> 01:33:51,139
they spent many many years before demo 2

1755
01:33:55,850 --> 01:33:53,820
developing the work working with SpaceX

1756
01:33:57,950 --> 01:33:55,860
working with the NASA teams I mean over

1757
01:34:00,530 --> 01:33:57,960
a decade of work to get to where they

1758
01:34:02,330 --> 01:34:00,540
were and so very well deserved and and

1759
01:34:04,430 --> 01:34:02,340
couldn't be prouder of them and they

1760
01:34:06,410 --> 01:34:04,440
have left a lasting mark on the

1761
01:34:08,870 --> 01:34:06,420
astronaut office on the agency and

1762
01:34:10,610 --> 01:34:08,880
really on the nation I mean we have now

1763
01:34:12,229 --> 01:34:10,620
an entire industry that that didn't

1764
01:34:15,050 --> 01:34:12,239
exist you know before this commercial

1765
01:34:17,450 --> 01:34:15,060
crew program I mean it's it's quite

1766
01:34:19,250 --> 01:34:17,460
amazing when you look at uh like going

1767
01:34:20,510 --> 01:34:19,260
to SpaceX going to Boeing going these

1768
01:34:22,310 --> 01:34:20,520
places they're doing these programs and

1769
01:34:24,290 --> 01:34:22,320
seeing all these Engineers that have a

1770
01:34:26,870 --> 01:34:24,300
place that they're proud to go to after

1771
01:34:29,030 --> 01:34:26,880
college and want to go to it's inspiring

1772
01:34:30,890 --> 01:34:29,040
um and yeah it's it is an exciting time

1773
01:34:32,629 --> 01:34:30,900
coming down here to the cape you just

1774
01:34:35,510 --> 01:34:32,639
see the buzz down here there's so much

1775
01:34:37,669 --> 01:34:35,520
going on and they kicked all this off it

1776
01:34:40,070 --> 01:34:37,679
there is a launch now every six days

1777
01:34:42,530 --> 01:34:40,080
here at America's Spaceport and you're

1778
01:34:43,850 --> 01:34:42,540
you're absolutely right Raja you know

1779
01:34:47,209 --> 01:34:43,860
it's a

1780
01:34:49,070 --> 01:34:47,219
we've had never been this busy yeah

1781
01:34:51,350 --> 01:34:49,080
um you know aiming for more than a

1782
01:34:53,990 --> 01:34:51,360
hundred launches this year just SpaceX

1783
01:34:56,750 --> 01:34:54,000
alone so

1784
01:34:59,149 --> 01:34:56,760
an incredible amount of activity I like

1785
01:35:00,649 --> 01:34:59,159
from the story that you just told that

1786
01:35:02,930 --> 01:35:00,659
they took the time with you the

1787
01:35:05,330 --> 01:35:02,940
commander for crew 3 even though your

1788
01:35:07,370 --> 01:35:05,340
mission was three missions away from

1789
01:35:08,570 --> 01:35:07,380
where there their theirs was right well

1790
01:35:11,090 --> 01:35:08,580
there might have been an ulterior motive

1791
01:35:12,590 --> 01:35:11,100
so so well I don't know Doug probably

1792
01:35:14,450 --> 01:35:12,600
doesn't want me to tell you this but so

1793
01:35:17,030 --> 01:35:14,460
I was I had by he's not here he's not

1794
01:35:20,030 --> 01:35:17,040
here so my phone fell out of my pocket

1795
01:35:22,129 --> 01:35:20,040
while I was in the capsule uh okay yeah

1796
01:35:23,570 --> 01:35:22,139
and so I then owed some adult beverages

1797
01:35:25,850 --> 01:35:23,580
to the crew that had to fish that thing

1798
01:35:27,470 --> 01:35:25,860
out but and so I got quite a bit of hard

1799
01:35:29,930 --> 01:35:27,480
time come to find out later that that

1800
01:35:32,030 --> 01:35:29,940
had happened to one Doug Hurley a little

1801
01:35:33,830 --> 01:35:32,040
while earlier so I think maybe he was

1802
01:35:35,770 --> 01:35:33,840
just trying to Swig that Spotlight to me

1803
01:35:37,910 --> 01:35:35,780
so hey that's my theory

1804
01:35:40,910 --> 01:35:37,920
he didn't give you an extra hard time

1805
01:35:43,129 --> 01:35:40,920
did he uh he might have oh

1806
01:35:44,629 --> 01:35:43,139
yeah but yeah it was awesome though I

1807
01:35:46,070 --> 01:35:44,639
mean it just it was uh and you're

1808
01:35:49,610 --> 01:35:46,080
exactly right that that kind of

1809
01:35:51,410 --> 01:35:49,620
mentorship is exactly uh what we lean on

1810
01:35:52,910 --> 01:35:51,420
in our office we have a term called IAS

1811
01:35:54,470 --> 01:35:52,920
which are instructor astronauts and and

1812
01:35:56,810 --> 01:35:54,480
those two epitomize that bringing

1813
01:35:59,330 --> 01:35:56,820
bringing the whole core along with them

1814
01:36:01,430 --> 01:35:59,340
and and they had the lessons from

1815
01:36:02,629 --> 01:36:01,440
shuttle and you know what worked what

1816
01:36:05,570 --> 01:36:02,639
didn't work

1817
01:36:07,010 --> 01:36:05,580
um they'd seen soyuz over the years so I

1818
01:36:09,229 --> 01:36:07,020
mean they had such a wide breadth of

1819
01:36:12,050 --> 01:36:09,239
experience to to pull into what SpaceX

1820
01:36:14,090 --> 01:36:12,060
and NASA designed and while we're

1821
01:36:16,189 --> 01:36:14,100
speaking about Honors that come out of

1822
01:36:17,570 --> 01:36:16,199
the White House Raja you were nominated

1823
01:36:19,790 --> 01:36:17,580

so yeah excited to get to do that here

1832
01:36:37,729 --> 01:36:35,699
at Nasa NASA's military astronauts we

1833
01:36:39,649 --> 01:36:37,739
have a number of them here you being one

1834
01:36:42,830 --> 01:36:39,659
of them

1835
01:36:45,890 --> 01:36:42,840
very proud to have you both serving our

1836
01:36:49,850 --> 01:36:45,900
country and helping us explore space and

1837
01:36:54,470 --> 01:36:51,890
and I can see why this is an exciting

1838
01:36:56,810 --> 01:36:54,480
time certainly we talked about that and

1839
01:36:59,750 --> 01:36:56,820
we're taking a long look at uh the hatch

1840
01:37:03,050 --> 01:36:59,760
at the moment probably making some final

1841
01:37:03,950 --> 01:37:03,060
uploads of the seal there and as we do

1842
01:37:06,110 --> 01:37:03,960
that

1843
01:37:08,450 --> 01:37:06,120
let's check back in with our Courtney

1844
01:37:12,890 --> 01:37:08,460
Beasley at the Johnson Space Center in

1845
01:37:17,270 --> 01:37:15,470
thanks Daryl as we said earlier the team

1846
01:37:18,830 --> 01:37:17,280
here in Mission Control Houston is

1847
01:37:21,229 --> 01:37:18,840
actively monitoring the International

1848
01:37:22,729 --> 01:37:21,239
Space Station as they await dragon's

1849
01:37:24,169 --> 01:37:22,739
arrival the crew aboard the

1850
01:37:25,970 --> 01:37:24,179
International Space Station is currently

1851
01:37:28,490 --> 01:37:25,980
in a sleep period and they are scheduled

1852
01:37:30,110 --> 01:37:28,500
to wake up at midnight central time they

1853
01:37:31,790 --> 01:37:30,120
have completed a number of tasks to

1854
01:37:33,530 --> 01:37:31,800
prepare the station for crew 6 like

1855
01:37:36,050 --> 01:37:33,540
setting up tools to monitor dragon's

1856
01:37:38,090 --> 01:37:36,060
arrival and prepping the Sleep stations

1857
01:37:39,770 --> 01:37:38,100
for the new residents many of their

1858
01:37:41,990 --> 01:37:39,780
clothes and other belongings launched on

1859
01:37:43,189 --> 01:37:42,000
a previous cargo resupply Mission and

1860
01:37:45,050 --> 01:37:43,199
then back here in Mission Control

1861
01:37:46,729 --> 01:37:45,060
Houston flight director Judd freeling

1862
01:37:48,410 --> 01:37:46,739
and his team are in constant

1863
01:37:50,810 --> 01:37:48,420
communication with the SpaceX Mission

1864
01:37:52,610 --> 01:37:50,820
director for crew 6's launch to the

1865
01:37:54,709 --> 01:37:52,620
space station once we get into

1866
01:37:56,390 --> 01:37:54,719
integrated operations the NASA flight

1867
01:37:58,610 --> 01:37:56,400
director will be conducting this series

1868
01:38:01,070 --> 01:37:58,620
of go no-go polls at the predetermined

1869
01:38:03,290 --> 01:38:01,080
checkpoints for dragon's approach we'll

1870
01:38:05,570 --> 01:38:03,300
continue to follow along from here in

1871
01:38:06,950 --> 01:38:05,580
Mission Control Houston and during our

1872
01:38:09,050 --> 01:38:06,960
launch coverage we like to highlight

1873
01:38:10,970 --> 01:38:09,060
employees in the commercial crew program

1874
01:38:12,890 --> 01:38:10,980
who are working behind the scenes to

1875
01:38:14,930 --> 01:38:12,900
make today's Mission possible earlier

1876
01:38:17,330 --> 01:38:14,940
this week Kennedy's Jasmine Hopkins

1877
01:38:20,030 --> 01:38:17,340
spoke to NASA's recovery director for

1878
01:38:22,910 --> 01:38:20,040
crew 5. let's take a look

1879
01:38:25,370 --> 01:38:22,920
joining us now is NASA recovery director

1880
01:38:27,410 --> 01:38:25,380
Brian Berry thanks for being here of

1881
01:38:28,850 --> 01:38:27,420
course thank you of course so Brian we

1882
01:38:30,770 --> 01:38:28,860
understand that you are the NASA

1883
01:38:32,750 --> 01:38:30,780
recovery director for crew 5 but you've

1884
01:38:34,010 --> 01:38:32,760
actually done a lot of things for human

1885
01:38:35,870 --> 01:38:34,020
space flight can you tell us more about

1886
01:38:37,729 --> 01:38:35,880
that sure yeah that's right so I started

1887
01:38:40,669 --> 01:38:37,739
my career as a flight controller for the

1888
01:38:42,709 --> 01:38:40,679
ISS program my team was responsible for

1889
01:38:44,750 --> 01:38:42,719
maintenance on the space station so I

1890
01:38:47,330 --> 01:38:44,760
had the opportunity to work directly

1891
01:38:49,490 --> 01:38:47,340
with the astronauts train them on tools

1892
01:38:51,169 --> 01:38:49,500
and repair procedures so that was a lot

1893
01:38:52,610 --> 01:38:51,179
of fun and something I never thought I

1894
01:38:56,330 --> 01:38:52,620
would do when I was studying to be an

1895
01:38:58,430 --> 01:38:56,340
engineer after that I moved over to the

1896
01:39:00,830 --> 01:38:58,440
safety team and I was our safety rep for

1897
01:39:03,590 --> 01:39:00,840
the commercial crew program safety panel

1898
01:39:05,570 --> 01:39:03,600
so that was my first exposure to CCP and

1899
01:39:08,629 --> 01:39:05,580
I would go review the hazard reports for

1900
01:39:09,709 --> 01:39:08,639
Dragon and Starliner

1901
01:39:11,330 --> 01:39:09,719
um that was a pretty neat experience

1902
01:39:13,729 --> 01:39:11,340
also because I was able to work with Bob

1903
01:39:15,110 --> 01:39:13,739
and Doug prior to demo 2 and just kind

1904
01:39:16,910 --> 01:39:15,120
of work with them on the hazard reports

1905
01:39:19,970 --> 01:39:16,920
and get their perspective on on the risk

1906
01:39:22,970 --> 01:39:19,980
and the mission overall after that in

1907
01:39:24,649 --> 01:39:22,980
2020 I came out to commercial crew and I

1908
01:39:25,970 --> 01:39:24,659
worked for them directly now and I've

1909
01:39:29,410 --> 01:39:25,980
been doing launch and Recovery

1910
01:39:32,629 --> 01:39:29,420
operations since then on the launch Team

1911
01:39:35,510 --> 01:39:32,639
my role is to lead the rescue effort if

1912
01:39:38,209 --> 01:39:35,520
we need to if there's a pad emergency

1913
01:39:39,770 --> 01:39:38,219
egress or a paddle board the launch

1914
01:39:41,629 --> 01:39:39,780
rescue director calls in the rescue

1915
01:39:44,270 --> 01:39:41,639
forces so that's what I did for crew 5

1916
01:39:46,550 --> 01:39:44,280
launch last year and then as the

1917
01:39:47,930 --> 01:39:46,560
recovery director I lead the NASA

1918
01:39:50,390 --> 01:39:47,940
portion of the team that goes out on the

1919
01:39:52,010 --> 01:39:50,400
ship with SpaceX we bring out our flight

1920
01:39:53,510 --> 01:39:52,020
surgeons and we check out the crew and

1921
01:39:57,709 --> 01:39:53,520
we load them up on the helicopter and

1922
01:40:01,070 --> 01:39:59,390
how did your work as a flight controller

1923
01:40:02,270 --> 01:40:01,080
in Houston prepare you to be a NASA

1924
01:40:04,850 --> 01:40:02,280
recovery director

1925
01:40:06,649 --> 01:40:04,860
well in Houston work in the ISS

1926
01:40:08,450 --> 01:40:06,659
operations you know you see day in and

1927
01:40:10,010 --> 01:40:08,460
day out in the control center you get

1928
01:40:12,169 --> 01:40:10,020
the full feel of the six-month Mission

1929
01:40:14,810 --> 01:40:12,179
so you understand what the crew is going

1930
01:40:16,070 --> 01:40:14,820
through for that long of a mission and I

1931
01:40:18,890 --> 01:40:16,080
think I just kind of bring that crew

1932
01:40:21,229 --> 01:40:18,900
perspective of the ISS side to the CCP

1933
01:40:23,689 --> 01:40:21,239
program and so when it's time to bring

1934
01:40:26,030 --> 01:40:23,699
the crew home you know we we know we owe

1935
01:40:27,830 --> 01:40:26,040
them a smooth and speedy recovery so

1936
01:40:29,629 --> 01:40:27,840
that's our priority and our objective

1937
01:40:30,890 --> 01:40:29,639
right right Brian it's great that you

1938
01:40:32,390 --> 01:40:30,900
have that personal relationship with

1939
01:40:33,770 --> 01:40:32,400
them what challenges do you and the

1940
01:40:36,169 --> 01:40:33,780
recovery team have to be prepared for

1941
01:40:38,330 --> 01:40:36,179
well the biggest challenge for recovery

1942
01:40:41,090 --> 01:40:38,340
for for Dragon is definitely the weather

1943
01:40:43,250 --> 01:40:41,100
we have to find a landing site where the

1944
01:40:46,010 --> 01:40:43,260
winds are low and the waves are low

1945
01:40:47,270 --> 01:40:46,020
um so SpaceX has several Landing sites

1946
01:40:49,669 --> 01:40:47,280
around the State of Florida that we can

1947
01:40:50,390 --> 01:40:49,679
look at and choose the best weather

1948
01:40:52,189 --> 01:40:50,400
um

1949
01:40:53,870 --> 01:40:52,199
beyond that you know we start looking at

1950
01:40:55,790 --> 01:40:53,880
things like contingencies if the crew is

1951
01:40:58,729 --> 01:40:55,800
injured and we've got helicopters on

1952
01:41:00,229 --> 01:40:58,739
standby for a Medevac if we need to

1953
01:41:02,330 --> 01:41:00,239
um and then you know there's also just

1954
01:41:04,729 --> 01:41:02,340
built-in redundancy on the ship and and

1955
01:41:05,689 --> 01:41:04,739
throughout the vehicle so but yeah

1956
01:41:09,770 --> 01:41:05,699
weather is definitely the biggest

1957
01:41:14,570 --> 01:41:12,590
after a crew five returns Brian you're

1958
01:41:16,430 --> 01:41:14,580
going to transition to a new role in the

1959
01:41:17,629 --> 01:41:16,440
commercial crew program Mission manager

1960
01:41:19,430 --> 01:41:17,639
for crew eight can you tell us how

1961
01:41:21,290 --> 01:41:19,440
you're preparing for that that role

1962
01:41:22,970 --> 01:41:21,300
begins 18 months out so for crew eight

1963
01:41:24,410 --> 01:41:22,980
which launches launches a year from now

1964
01:41:26,870 --> 01:41:24,420
we've already begun those meetings with

1965
01:41:28,689 --> 01:41:26,880
SpaceX and so it's pretty exciting to be

1966
01:41:31,910 --> 01:41:28,699
a part of that that early in the mission

1967
01:41:39,109 --> 01:41:31,920
and uh yeah I'm just honored and proud

1968
01:41:44,510 --> 01:41:41,870
will thank you Jasmine and

1969
01:41:46,729 --> 01:41:44,520
we are currently now two hours and seven

1970
01:41:49,790 --> 01:41:46,739
minutes and Counting as we watch the

1971
01:41:52,250 --> 01:41:49,800
SpaceX closeout crew close the hatch to

1972
01:41:55,729 --> 01:41:52,260
the Dragon capsule

1973
01:41:57,709 --> 01:41:55,739
Dragon Endeavor the flight leader in uh

1974
01:42:01,669 --> 01:41:57,719
spacex's Fleet

1975
01:42:04,370 --> 01:42:01,679
with flight number four today hopefully

1976
01:42:06,169 --> 01:42:04,380
get off the pad and Notch another flight

1977
01:42:08,030 --> 01:42:06,179
under its belt

1978
01:42:08,930 --> 01:42:08,040
countdown is proceeding nominally at

1979
01:42:11,149 --> 01:42:08,940
this point

1980
01:42:13,070 --> 01:42:11,159
on board Dragon spacecraft Endeavor

1981
01:42:15,109 --> 01:42:13,080
we've heard the communication checks

1982
01:42:17,570 --> 01:42:15,119
between the dragon team and the crew

1983
01:42:19,609 --> 01:42:17,580
the astronauts you can see them

1984
01:42:20,689 --> 01:42:19,619
seated they were rotated into flight

1985
01:42:23,330 --> 01:42:20,699
position

1986
01:42:28,250 --> 01:42:23,340
we had their suit leak checks

1987
01:42:32,390 --> 01:42:30,290
yep and you heard the call from the core

1988
01:42:33,649 --> 01:42:32,400
prior to the hatch closing about making

1989
01:42:34,850 --> 01:42:33,659
sure that all their loose items were

1990
01:42:36,050 --> 01:42:34,860
stowed that's kind of key because once

1991
01:42:38,830 --> 01:42:36,060
that hatch is closed if you drop

1992
01:42:40,910 --> 01:42:38,840
anything that's a that's a problem

1993
01:42:43,430 --> 01:42:40,920
so you can see right now they're

1994
01:42:44,870 --> 01:42:43,440
probably updating their notes uh the

1995
01:42:46,550 --> 01:42:44,880
hatch is closed you'll probably hear at

1996
01:42:48,290 --> 01:42:46,560
some point SpaceX confirmed the hatches

1997
01:42:49,669 --> 01:42:48,300
closed they're watching on the bottom of

1998
01:42:51,470 --> 01:42:49,679
each of their displays it always shows

1999
01:42:53,870 --> 01:42:51,480
the flight computer State and what that

2000
01:42:57,169 --> 01:42:53,880
state tells you is it's sort of major

2001
01:42:58,790 --> 01:42:57,179
phases of the vehicle is are is in and

2002
01:43:00,649 --> 01:42:58,800
then it's important to the crew there's

2003
01:43:03,050 --> 01:43:00,659
only certain commands are available in a

2004
01:43:04,550 --> 01:43:03,060
particular state so once hatch is closed

2005
01:43:05,689 --> 01:43:04,560
and that kicks off the next sequence of

2006
01:43:07,010 --> 01:43:05,699
events

2007
01:43:08,450 --> 01:43:07,020
I thought it was interesting you

2008
01:43:10,669 --> 01:43:08,460
mentioned this uh during our first

2009
01:43:12,649 --> 01:43:10,679
launch attempt there's a state that you

2010
01:43:15,350 --> 01:43:12,659
move into where

2011
01:43:19,550 --> 01:43:15,360
you have the emergency handles SpaceX

2012
01:43:23,510 --> 01:43:21,950
that's one of those States correct next

2013
01:43:26,209 --> 01:43:23,520
dragon have you loud and clear over the

2014
01:43:28,310 --> 01:43:26,219
ground station but it's not active in

2015
01:43:29,990 --> 01:43:28,320
all the states leading up so certainly a

2016
01:43:30,890 --> 01:43:30,000
very definitive Point score has you loud

2017
01:43:32,510 --> 01:43:30,900
and clear

2018
01:43:35,090 --> 01:43:32,520
ground station contract is complete

2019
01:43:40,430 --> 01:43:35,100
stand by for T dress contract

2020
01:43:44,510 --> 01:43:41,950
these are with the different uh

2021
01:43:46,609 --> 01:43:44,520
different paths so we object via the

2022
01:43:49,070 --> 01:43:46,619
Hardline communication now the hatch is

2023
01:43:50,450 --> 01:43:49,080
closed so it's a

2024
01:43:52,310 --> 01:43:50,460
the first one here was the ground out

2025
01:43:53,990 --> 01:43:52,320
through teachers which is the s-band

2026
01:43:56,270 --> 01:43:54,000
communication system

2027
01:43:57,530 --> 01:43:56,280
so basically through satellites

2028
01:44:00,290 --> 01:43:57,540
and that's important because once it

2029
01:44:01,189 --> 01:44:00,300
gets off the pad line of sight will work

2030
01:44:02,090 --> 01:44:01,199
for a certain amount of time but

2031
01:44:03,109 --> 01:44:02,100
eventually you're gonna have to rely on

2032
01:44:04,790 --> 01:44:03,119
satellite communication so they're

2033
01:44:07,490 --> 01:44:04,800
checking that out before they get to

2034
01:44:12,050 --> 01:44:09,950
afterwards the SpaceX closeout team will

2035
01:44:14,629 --> 01:44:12,060
be performing the final leaked check on

2036
01:44:24,890 --> 01:44:17,149
and then once that is finished

2037
01:44:33,109 --> 01:44:27,229
the team will begin steps to ready the

2038
01:44:39,109 --> 01:44:36,709
SpaceX dragon have you loud and clear

2039
01:44:41,390 --> 01:44:39,119
core loud and clear teachers come check

2040
01:44:47,629 --> 01:44:41,400
is complete stand by for comchecks with

2041
01:44:50,990 --> 01:44:49,189
and so what they're checking now the MD

2042
01:44:57,169 --> 01:44:51,000
is Mission director ld's launch director

2043
01:45:02,149 --> 01:44:58,970
this is not going to have you allowed to

2044
01:45:08,209 --> 01:45:04,970
DC loud and clear standby for comchecks

2045
01:45:12,530 --> 01:45:10,370
and while this is happening MD on

2046
01:45:14,629 --> 01:45:12,540
countdown one Comcheck the closeout team

2047
01:45:17,990 --> 01:45:14,639
will leave the pad at T minus one hour

2048
01:45:22,490 --> 01:45:19,250
they'll be with him for the next hour

2049
01:45:28,430 --> 01:45:22,500
and then leave stand by for Comcheck

2050
01:45:28,440 --> 01:45:33,890
Dragon MD on drag on the ground Comcheck

2051
01:45:38,990 --> 01:45:35,930
MD dragon have you live and clear over

2052
01:45:43,250 --> 01:45:41,390
MD loud and clear standby for com checks

2053
01:45:48,649 --> 01:45:43,260
with LD

2054
01:45:54,410 --> 01:45:52,129
LD dragon have you land clearance on one

2055
01:45:57,410 --> 01:45:54,420
LD loud and clear standby for comp check

2056
01:45:57,420 --> 01:46:02,629
Dragon LD on Dragon to ground Comcheck

2057
01:46:06,290 --> 01:46:04,609
oh the dragon have a lot of players were

2058
01:46:12,109 --> 01:46:06,300
dragging the ground

2059
01:46:18,470 --> 01:46:14,330
Dragon SpaceX launch configuration

2060
01:46:23,270 --> 01:46:21,169
SpaceX Dragon top

2061
01:46:25,669 --> 01:46:23,280
and so those two Nets you heard him talk

2062
01:46:27,830 --> 01:46:25,679
about uh as you can imagine in in both

2063
01:46:29,990 --> 01:46:27,840
mission control mccx which is in

2064
01:46:31,609 --> 01:46:30,000
Hawthorne and then MCC Houston uh each

2065
01:46:32,810 --> 01:46:31,619
of the flight controllers has a whole

2066
01:46:34,609 --> 01:46:32,820
bunch of different channels they can be

2067
01:46:36,770 --> 01:46:34,619
on so dragging to ground is what the

2068
01:46:38,750 --> 01:46:36,780
crew is typically talking on and there's

2069
01:46:40,129 --> 01:46:38,760
a whole lot of other comms going on the

2070
01:46:42,470 --> 01:46:40,139
crew doesn't need to hear but those key

2071
01:46:44,450 --> 01:46:42,480
people uh have a net that does talk

2072
01:46:45,709 --> 01:46:44,460
directly to the crew that's not dragging

2073
01:46:47,810 --> 01:46:45,719
the ground countdown one is what they're

2074
01:46:49,550 --> 01:46:47,820
talking on and so for the launch they

2075
01:46:51,770 --> 01:46:49,560
tie those two Nets together for the

2076
01:46:53,750 --> 01:46:51,780
period of launch itself specifically to

2077
01:46:55,609 --> 01:46:53,760
be able to tell the crew to initiate a

2078
01:46:56,930 --> 01:46:55,619
launch escape and to your point Daryl

2079
01:46:59,209 --> 01:46:56,940
you're exactly right the handle that's

2080
01:47:00,770 --> 01:46:59,219
between Woody and Steve that you can't

2081
01:47:02,510 --> 01:47:00,780
see in this view it's up by the displays

2082
01:47:04,250 --> 01:47:02,520
it's essentially like an ejection handle

2083
01:47:05,810 --> 01:47:04,260
so you can pull that and it'll initiate

2084
01:47:06,950 --> 01:47:05,820
a launch Escape but exactly like I said

2085
01:47:08,870 --> 01:47:06,960
it wouldn't do it right now you could

2086
01:47:11,030 --> 01:47:08,880
pull the handle nothing would happen so

2087
01:47:13,070 --> 01:47:11,040
it is only armed and that's we'll hear

2088
01:47:14,689 --> 01:47:13,080
that later in the in the account when

2089
01:47:16,609 --> 01:47:14,699
they say Les armed and that's why that's

2090
01:47:18,530 --> 01:47:16,619
such a key thing is that handle is hot

2091
01:47:20,270 --> 01:47:18,540
which is the manual initiation what that

2092
01:47:22,070 --> 01:47:20,280
also means is the automated system is

2093
01:47:23,930 --> 01:47:22,080
hot meaning if the vehicle detected

2094
01:47:27,290 --> 01:47:23,940
something it would also automatically

2095
01:47:29,450 --> 01:47:27,300
initiate a launch Escape

2096
01:47:32,270 --> 01:47:29,460
um but the reason they tie all those

2097
01:47:34,790 --> 01:47:32,280
people together uh is especially during

2098
01:47:36,530 --> 01:47:34,800
a sense you want the quickest words of

2099
01:47:38,390 --> 01:47:36,540
the crew if there's something that would

2100
01:47:39,890 --> 01:47:38,400
tell them they should manually initiate

2101
01:47:41,930 --> 01:47:39,900
escape and that's why they make sure

2102
01:47:43,250 --> 01:47:41,940
that those uh those Loops are properly

2103
01:47:44,689 --> 01:47:43,260
divided so it's on the ground that

2104
01:47:46,790 --> 01:47:44,699
they're doing that it's pretty much

2105
01:47:48,830 --> 01:47:46,800
basically commencing health check for

2106
01:47:50,930 --> 01:47:48,840
launch Escape system expect momentary

2107
01:47:52,609 --> 01:47:50,940
flight computer State change followed by

2108
01:47:54,350 --> 01:47:52,619
transition back to pad hatch closed

2109
01:47:56,390 --> 01:47:54,360
there's that state changer we were

2110
01:47:58,370 --> 01:47:56,400
talking about right

2111
01:48:00,709 --> 01:47:58,380
we'll be watching thank you

2112
01:48:01,669 --> 01:48:00,719
and so why that's so they're not arming

2113
01:48:03,229 --> 01:48:01,679
it yet but what they're doing is

2114
01:48:05,570 --> 01:48:03,239
checking the automated parameters so

2115
01:48:07,189 --> 01:48:05,580
they put it into a mode to look at the

2116
01:48:08,330 --> 01:48:07,199
automated triggers to make sure none of

2117
01:48:10,189 --> 01:48:08,340
them are showing out of limits because

2118
01:48:12,530 --> 01:48:10,199
right now sitting on the pad looks it

2119
01:48:14,570 --> 01:48:12,540
should be fine so if there was something

2120
01:48:17,030 --> 01:48:14,580
that's a bad sensor or bad Telemetry

2121
01:48:18,709 --> 01:48:17,040
you'd want to know that now before you

2122
01:48:20,270 --> 01:48:18,719
put into automated mode and then

2123
01:48:22,129 --> 01:48:20,280
inadvertently trigger an escape so

2124
01:48:23,990 --> 01:48:22,139
that's what they're checking

2125
01:48:25,790 --> 01:48:24,000
so just like we talked earlier in the

2126
01:48:27,950 --> 01:48:25,800
broadcast about the t-tab you know is it

2127
01:48:29,450 --> 01:48:27,960
a bad sensor is it actually a bad thing

2128
01:48:31,790 --> 01:48:29,460
that's what they're checking now just to

2129
01:48:33,050 --> 01:48:31,800
make sure there's no bad sensors in uh

2130
01:48:35,570 --> 01:48:33,060
the system that would initiate a launch

2131
01:48:37,790 --> 01:48:35,580
Escape curious in your training Raj what

2132
01:48:39,530 --> 01:48:37,800
what would constitute a moment where you

2133
01:48:44,030 --> 01:48:39,540
would pull that handle versus it going

2134
01:48:47,090 --> 01:48:44,040
off automatically uh B for like a

2135
01:48:49,609 --> 01:48:47,100
something where so there are there could

2136
01:48:51,470 --> 01:48:49,619
be some situations where the rate is low

2137
01:48:53,510 --> 01:48:51,480
enough that you they you know you know

2138
01:48:56,149 --> 01:48:53,520
something's wrong but it hasn't hit the

2139
01:48:58,129 --> 01:48:56,159
threshold yet to trigger it so waiting

2140
01:48:59,689 --> 01:48:58,139
for the automatic system is just taking

2141
01:49:01,370 --> 01:48:59,699
extra time so you might as well manually

2142
01:49:03,290 --> 01:49:01,380
initiate there could be some cases of

2143
01:49:05,629 --> 01:49:03,300
fires where you would do it where you

2144
01:49:06,770 --> 01:49:05,639
recognize it before so especially like a

2145
01:49:08,109 --> 01:49:06,780
fire that might not trigger the

2146
01:49:10,970 --> 01:49:08,119
automated system

2147
01:49:13,609 --> 01:49:10,980
or you can clearly exactly or if there's

2148
01:49:15,109 --> 01:49:13,619
a failure of the this the communications

2149
01:49:16,970 --> 01:49:15,119
not the communication like talking

2150
01:49:19,250 --> 01:49:16,980
system but basically the communication

2151
01:49:22,010 --> 01:49:19,260
path the interface between the vehicles

2152
01:49:23,390 --> 01:49:22,020
where essentially it eliminates the

2153
01:49:26,209 --> 01:49:23,400
Automation and then you would manually

2154
01:49:29,270 --> 01:49:26,219
do it so there's a few cases you would

2155
01:49:30,649 --> 01:49:29,280
be very hesitant to do it you'd want to

2156
01:49:34,870 --> 01:49:30,659
be very confident right because it's a

2157
01:49:38,209 --> 01:49:34,880
it is a uh a partially significant event

2158
01:49:40,609 --> 01:49:38,219
both from uh you know the it is um

2159
01:49:43,970 --> 01:49:40,619
physically physically yes yeah it is a

2160
01:49:47,570 --> 01:49:43,980
lot of G's very fast and

2161
01:49:48,590 --> 01:49:47,580
uh yeah so it's gonna rock and roll you

2162
01:49:50,689 --> 01:49:48,600
quite a bit

2163
01:49:52,970 --> 01:49:50,699
um so you don't want to do it uh if

2164
01:49:54,770 --> 01:49:52,980
you're not positive but uh you

2165
01:49:56,270 --> 01:49:54,780
definitely want to use it it's a great

2166
01:49:57,649 --> 01:49:56,280
feature to have

2167
01:50:00,470 --> 01:49:57,659
um and definitely one of the the lessons

2168
01:50:02,870 --> 01:50:00,480
we've learned is we've evolved our space

2169
01:50:05,990 --> 01:50:02,880
and launch vehicle Technologies you

2170
01:50:08,149 --> 01:50:06,000
mentioned speed 436 miles per hour that

2171
01:50:11,629 --> 01:50:08,159
system can get up and go take it two and

2172
01:50:13,310 --> 01:50:11,639
a half miles off the coast of uh you

2173
01:50:17,570 --> 01:50:13,320
know Florida here into the Atlantic

2174
01:50:20,030 --> 01:50:17,580
Ocean and uh it could be a lifesaver if

2175
01:50:21,470 --> 01:50:20,040
the situation were to arrive so this is

2176
01:50:23,629 --> 01:50:21,480
certainly not child's play we're talking

2177
01:50:26,209 --> 01:50:23,639
about here this is uh this is Big Time

2178
01:50:29,570 --> 01:50:26,219
stuff uh when it comes to space flight

2179
01:50:32,450 --> 01:50:29,580
but you know every Dragon astronaut crew

2180
01:50:34,270 --> 01:50:32,460
even though it's not child's play it

2181
01:50:38,770 --> 01:50:34,280
does bring a stuffed toy with them

2182
01:50:41,450 --> 01:50:38,780
making a tough transition here well done

2183
01:50:43,669 --> 01:50:41,460
the purpose of that stuff toy though it

2184
01:50:45,709 --> 01:50:43,679
it has a purpose when the toy starts

2185
01:50:47,870 --> 01:50:45,719
floating the strapped in crew has

2186
01:50:50,930 --> 01:50:47,880
confirmation that they've reached

2187
01:50:53,810 --> 01:50:50,940
microgravity and the name of it is a

2188
01:50:55,490 --> 01:50:53,820
zero g indicator there's been seven on

2189
01:50:57,830 --> 01:50:55,500
Dragon so far and let's take a look at

2190
01:51:00,229 --> 01:50:57,840
them all who can forget this one a

2191
01:51:02,270 --> 01:51:00,239
little guy plush Earth floating around

2192
01:51:05,510 --> 01:51:02,280
by himself on the first uncrewed flight

2193
01:51:07,850 --> 01:51:05,520
test in 2017 called demo one which four

2194
01:51:08,810 --> 01:51:07,860
years ago today Raja oh wow it was

2195
01:51:10,970 --> 01:51:08,820
launched

2196
01:51:13,189 --> 01:51:10,980
that was followed up by a sequin

2197
01:51:14,990 --> 01:51:13,199
bedazzled dinosaur named Tremor picked

2198
01:51:17,330 --> 01:51:15,000
out by Bob benkin's son Theo and

2199
01:51:19,370 --> 01:51:17,340
crewmate Doug Hurley's son jack we just

2200
01:51:21,290 --> 01:51:19,380
talked about Dragon SpaceX good side

2201
01:51:22,850 --> 01:51:21,300
hatch League check crew one took a toy

2202
01:51:25,970 --> 01:51:22,860
baby Yoda with them to the first

2203
01:51:29,450 --> 01:51:25,980
four-person crew

2204
01:51:32,330 --> 01:51:29,460
and then since then it's been all

2205
01:51:35,149 --> 01:51:32,340
stuffed animals a penguin for crew two a

2206
01:51:37,430 --> 01:51:35,159
turtle your turtle for crew three

2207
01:51:39,590 --> 01:51:37,440
and then for uh crew four it was a

2208
01:51:40,609 --> 01:51:39,600
turtle and a chimp double Turtle double

2209
01:51:42,530 --> 01:51:40,619
turtle

2210
01:51:45,649 --> 01:51:42,540
and then for the last mission

2211
01:51:50,570 --> 01:51:45,659
the first humanoid the little Albert

2212
01:51:53,810 --> 01:51:52,609
and so we didn't get to find out in our

2213
01:51:56,149 --> 01:51:53,820
first attempt

2214
01:52:00,470 --> 01:51:56,159
what crew six is doing

2215
01:52:02,510 --> 01:52:00,480
well I'll be honest I know but we're

2216
01:52:04,310 --> 01:52:02,520
saving it until they get up into space

2217
01:52:06,290 --> 01:52:04,320
and we should see it you know once they

2218
01:52:07,729 --> 01:52:06,300
get up exactly yeah and the history of

2219
01:52:09,050 --> 01:52:07,739
it is that as you notice in some of

2220
01:52:11,090 --> 01:52:09,060
those pictures the crew was already out

2221
01:52:12,770 --> 01:52:11,100
of their seats but in reality the when

2222
01:52:14,510 --> 01:52:12,780
you first see it deploy they're still

2223
01:52:16,490 --> 01:52:14,520
strapped in and so even though you and

2224
01:52:17,990 --> 01:52:16,500
your stomach have that feeling of being

2225
01:52:19,729 --> 01:52:18,000
in a roller coaster and you're falling

2226
01:52:21,709 --> 01:52:19,739
you aren't actually moving you're still

2227
01:52:23,930 --> 01:52:21,719
fully strapped in so the way you can

2228
01:52:26,510 --> 01:52:23,940
check your senses is your zero g

2229
01:52:29,149 --> 01:52:26,520
indicator starts to starts to float and

2230
01:52:30,950 --> 01:52:29,159
so our case uh our turtle was named foul

2231
01:52:33,950 --> 01:52:30,960
which was a nod to Matthias since that's

2232
01:52:35,689 --> 01:52:33,960
uh German uh it was also specifically a

2233
01:52:38,390 --> 01:52:35,699
peacock Turtle because Tom marshburn is

2234
01:52:41,209 --> 01:52:38,400
a class in the peacock so it was a a

2235
01:52:42,410 --> 01:52:41,219
conglomiter of effort to have a zero g

2236
01:52:44,270 --> 01:52:42,420
indicator that represented the whole

2237
01:52:45,830 --> 01:52:44,280
crew you heard Arthur call the side

2238
01:52:47,209 --> 01:52:45,840
hatch leak checks are good which is a

2239
01:52:49,609 --> 01:52:47,219
great sign

2240
01:52:50,870 --> 01:52:49,619
um and uh this it's going to take a

2241
01:52:52,550 --> 01:52:50,880
while now for the closeout crew to

2242
01:52:54,229 --> 01:52:52,560
actually clean out the white room

2243
01:52:55,250 --> 01:52:54,239
there's a whole bunch of work they're

2244
01:52:57,169 --> 01:52:55,260
doing

2245
01:52:59,270 --> 01:52:57,179
um as they start to to do that but it

2246
01:53:01,010 --> 01:52:59,280
looks like everything's on track

2247
01:53:03,169 --> 01:53:01,020
yeah we've had the com checks the seat

2248
01:53:05,270 --> 01:53:03,179
rotation suit League checks they're

2249
01:53:08,090 --> 01:53:05,280
complete and so now we're just

2250
01:53:10,010 --> 01:53:08,100
tightening up that hatch

2251
01:53:12,109 --> 01:53:10,020
and while we look at this shot we can

2252
01:53:13,850 --> 01:53:12,119
look to the right we see the NASA

2253
01:53:16,790 --> 01:53:13,860
meatball with all the signatures around

2254
01:53:19,490 --> 01:53:16,800
them along with the SpaceX logo

2255
01:53:22,010 --> 01:53:19,500
every human who goes into space

2256
01:53:23,930 --> 01:53:22,020
gets to put their signature on the wall

2257
01:53:26,390 --> 01:53:23,940
there and Raja of course yours is there

2258
01:53:27,890 --> 01:53:26,400
along with your crew three crewmates but

2259
01:53:30,830 --> 01:53:27,900
you know for the second attempt status

2260
01:53:34,729 --> 01:53:30,840
update they didn't have to do it

2261
01:53:37,250 --> 01:53:34,739
so that helped save as well go ahead

2262
01:53:39,649 --> 01:53:37,260
all right uh we are going to repeat the

2263
01:53:40,790 --> 01:53:39,659
ground station Comcheck just to do it

2264
01:53:43,010 --> 01:53:40,800
one more time on our end and make sure

2265
01:53:44,689 --> 01:53:43,020
that we're properly configured uh

2266
01:53:46,490 --> 01:53:44,699
following the ground station com check

2267
01:53:49,850 --> 01:53:46,500
I'll step into the post Ingress crew

2268
01:53:55,129 --> 01:53:49,860
briefing and after that we'll step into

2269
01:53:59,870 --> 01:53:57,350
okay thanks for talking copies I

2270
01:54:02,390 --> 01:53:59,880
understand it all thank you

2271
01:54:03,590 --> 01:54:02,400
gonna run the uh comp checks again yep

2272
01:54:05,149 --> 01:54:03,600
so probably maybe they had to

2273
01:54:07,669 --> 01:54:05,159
reconfigure something uh or maybe

2274
01:54:08,870 --> 01:54:07,679
someone wasn't on the or didn't hear it

2275
01:54:10,609 --> 01:54:08,880
maybe so they want to miss make sure

2276
01:54:12,229 --> 01:54:10,619
everyone's tied in and then you heard

2277
01:54:13,729 --> 01:54:12,239
the on operator contracts after

2278
01:54:14,570 --> 01:54:13,739
that which we haven't done and that will

2279
01:54:17,390 --> 01:54:14,580
be when you hear the different

2280
01:54:18,890 --> 01:54:17,400
subsystems for each of the Falcon 9 and

2281
01:54:20,510 --> 01:54:18,900
the main parts that they're monitoring

2282
01:54:22,550 --> 01:54:20,520
that could lead to a launch Escape

2283
01:54:23,570 --> 01:54:22,560
they'll all chime in and again so for

2284
01:54:25,609 --> 01:54:23,580
the same reason I described before

2285
01:54:28,010 --> 01:54:25,619
making sure normally those people

2286
01:54:30,890 --> 01:54:28,020
wouldn't talk directly to the crew but

2287
01:54:32,750 --> 01:54:30,900
if you had so you know one of those

2288
01:54:33,890 --> 01:54:32,760
systems that give that that was your

2289
01:54:35,689 --> 01:54:33,900
question like hey when would you do it

2290
01:54:37,310 --> 01:54:35,699
like well that would be a time like if

2291
01:54:40,490 --> 01:54:37,320
the GNC which is guidance navigation

2292
01:54:42,229 --> 01:54:40,500
controlled hat see something off

2293
01:54:43,430 --> 01:54:42,239
um that they think is dangerous they can

2294
01:54:44,990 --> 01:54:43,440
have the ability to call the crew

2295
01:54:47,590 --> 01:54:45,000
directly and tell them to initiate a

2296
01:54:49,669 --> 01:54:47,600
launch Escape okay

2297
01:54:50,750 --> 01:54:49,679
it'd be like a trend they're seeing you

2298
01:54:51,709 --> 01:54:50,760
know maybe it hasn't hit the automated

2299
01:54:53,270 --> 01:54:51,719
limit

2300
01:54:54,890 --> 01:54:53,280
um but they know it's going to and so if

2301
01:54:56,810 --> 01:54:54,900
it buys you a second or two then it's

2302
01:54:58,609 --> 01:54:56,820
worth worth it might be faster than the

2303
01:55:01,490 --> 01:54:58,619
automated system right

2304
01:55:04,250 --> 01:55:01,500
and that's why they're consolidating the

2305
01:55:07,850 --> 01:55:04,260
communications to the crew as Raja has

2306
01:55:16,070 --> 01:55:12,470
we have a an hour and 53 minutes

2307
01:55:18,530 --> 01:55:16,080
until liftoff at 12 34 a.m eastern time

2308
01:55:22,010 --> 01:55:18,540
here from the Kennedy Space Center in

2309
01:55:24,229 --> 01:55:22,020
Florida America's Spaceport

2310
01:55:27,709 --> 01:55:24,239
now as the pad team wraps up its final

2311
01:55:29,209 --> 01:55:27,719
checks and clears the white room

2312
01:55:31,310 --> 01:55:29,219
that's when the action will start to

2313
01:55:33,830 --> 01:55:31,320
pick up

2314
01:55:36,590 --> 01:55:33,840
we're looking forward a little bit crew

2315
01:55:39,050 --> 01:55:36,600
access arm we'll retract we'd have the

2316
01:55:41,870 --> 01:55:39,060
army of the launch Escape system and

2317
01:55:43,850 --> 01:55:41,880
then of course prop load

2318
01:55:45,950 --> 01:55:43,860
so we will keep this live view of the

2319
01:55:49,310 --> 01:55:45,960
crew here as they're sitting tight

2320
01:55:53,330 --> 01:55:52,010
rajachary doing a great job of keeping

2321
01:55:56,090 --> 01:55:53,340
us

2322
01:55:57,169 --> 01:55:56,100
informed about what's happening as we

2323
01:55:59,870 --> 01:55:57,179
watch it

2324
01:56:02,030 --> 01:55:59,880
and if you want to ask him a question

2325
01:56:03,830 --> 01:56:02,040
we're taking them just head on over to

2326
01:56:05,629 --> 01:56:03,840
social media

2327
01:56:07,790 --> 01:56:05,639
oh great question actually on there so

2328
01:56:09,470 --> 01:56:07,800
so actually the ones that one's not a

2329
01:56:12,470 --> 01:56:09,480
question was a shout out from Steve

2330
01:56:14,390 --> 01:56:12,480
Bowen's uh fellow submariners some

2331
01:56:15,470 --> 01:56:14,400
Mariners

2332
01:56:18,649 --> 01:56:15,480
um

2333
01:56:22,910 --> 01:56:18,659
looks like we've got one here that uh

2334
01:56:24,590 --> 01:56:22,920
from at Danny scarra okay what happens

2335
01:56:25,910 --> 01:56:24,600
after you're strapped in and waiting to

2336
01:56:28,070 --> 01:56:25,920
launch and you have to use the bathroom

2337
01:56:30,350 --> 01:56:28,080
so we get really good at using diapers

2338
01:56:32,149 --> 01:56:30,360
they're called mags what are they called

2339
01:56:33,830 --> 01:56:32,159
mags which is the acronym for maximum

2340
01:56:35,570 --> 01:56:33,840
absorbency garbant but it's basically a

2341
01:56:38,629 --> 01:56:35,580
diaper it's just that way you don't have

2342
01:56:41,030 --> 01:56:38,639
to say the word diaper wrist diaper

2343
01:56:42,470 --> 01:56:41,040
giving us some great insight there well

2344
01:56:43,729 --> 01:56:42,480
actually if you want the people at home

2345
01:56:44,990 --> 01:56:43,739
don't try this if you're watching The

2346
01:56:45,890 --> 01:56:45,000
Cosmic way because there's fire ants but

2347
01:56:47,750 --> 01:56:45,900
if you're at home and you want to know

2348
01:56:50,209 --> 01:56:47,760
it's like just get on your back put your

2349
01:56:52,010 --> 01:56:50,219
feet up on your couch and lay on your

2350
01:56:53,930 --> 01:56:52,020
back and watch this broadcast and do it

2351
01:56:55,910 --> 01:56:53,940
for the next two hours and even if you

2352
01:56:57,770 --> 01:56:55,920
haven't drank a lot of water sitting

2353
01:56:59,450 --> 01:56:57,780
like that it's hard to do it's no way

2354
01:57:01,609 --> 01:56:59,460
it's hard to do and it makes you have to

2355
01:57:04,070 --> 01:57:01,619
go to the bathroom oh so you definitely

2356
01:57:05,570 --> 01:57:04,080
uh that's one of the reasons that crew

2357
01:57:07,729 --> 01:57:05,580
we call it crew time on back is a big

2358
01:57:10,070 --> 01:57:07,739
deal in Trying to minimize that because

2359
01:57:12,830 --> 01:57:10,080
you can get cramps this is definitely

2360
01:57:15,410 --> 01:57:12,840
more roomy than uh like a soyuz where

2361
01:57:18,169 --> 01:57:15,420
your knees are in your chest but yeah it

2362
01:57:20,870 --> 01:57:18,179
is uh it is less than comfortable

2363
01:57:23,229 --> 01:57:20,880
um and so you have to overcome the

2364
01:57:25,609 --> 01:57:23,239
mental block of peeing your own pants

2365
01:57:28,189 --> 01:57:25,619
because it's actually harder than you

2366
01:57:29,930 --> 01:57:28,199
would think but we get uh we get

2367
01:57:32,089 --> 01:57:29,940
practice doing that in NBL run so busier

2368
01:57:33,589 --> 01:57:32,099
in the pool for like practice yeah well

2369
01:57:36,350 --> 01:57:33,599
you're when you're doing NBL runs you're

2370
01:57:38,149 --> 01:57:36,360
in that suit for like eight hours in a

2371
01:57:39,169 --> 01:57:38,159
MAG also so that's kind of where you

2372
01:57:41,629 --> 01:57:39,179
start and

2373
01:57:42,950 --> 01:57:41,639
then actually when you're in training uh

2374
01:57:44,450 --> 01:57:42,960
you'd be called like Day in the Life

2375
01:57:47,089 --> 01:57:44,460
Sims when you do like a whole day in the

2376
01:57:48,709 --> 01:57:47,099
dragon and so yeah you're you get used

2377
01:57:50,570 --> 01:57:48,719
to using it but that's exactly what you

2378
01:57:51,770 --> 01:57:50,580
do you saw the reason we cut away when

2379
01:57:53,810 --> 01:57:51,780
they pulled up to the pad is there's

2380
01:57:55,430 --> 01:57:53,820
actually a trailer behind the launch pad

2381
01:57:58,129 --> 01:57:55,440
where they can use the bathroom one more

2382
01:58:00,709 --> 01:57:58,139
time before they go up the elevator and

2383
01:58:03,649 --> 01:58:00,719
you try to never leave a bathroom or

2384
01:58:05,390 --> 01:58:03,659
Runway behind you uh if you're flying uh

2385
01:58:07,370 --> 01:58:05,400
never leave never pass up the chance to

2386
01:58:08,570 --> 01:58:07,380
use a bathroom but yeah so it's a fine

2387
01:58:10,070 --> 01:58:08,580
balance because you want to be hydrated

2388
01:58:11,810 --> 01:58:10,080
especially into space because you tend

2389
01:58:14,390 --> 01:58:11,820
to get dehydrated so you want a fluid

2390
01:58:15,589 --> 01:58:14,400
load but the downside is that especially

2391
01:58:18,350 --> 01:58:15,599
when you're on your back with your knees

2392
01:58:19,430 --> 01:58:18,360
in your chest it tends to give you the

2393
01:58:20,870 --> 01:58:19,440
Sensation that you have to go to the

2394
01:58:22,910 --> 01:58:20,880
bathroom

2395
01:58:24,830 --> 01:58:22,920
this is an incredible Insight here uh

2396
01:58:26,810 --> 01:58:24,840
Raj and I imagine you've created

2397
01:58:28,669 --> 01:58:26,820
probably a little bit of stir on social

2398
01:58:30,530 --> 01:58:28,679
media right now as people are abandoning

2399
01:58:32,209 --> 01:58:30,540
about the answers and the Insight that

2400
01:58:34,430 --> 01:58:32,219
you just gave but I will say this in my

2401
01:58:36,470 --> 01:58:34,440
time in being around astronauts the

2402
01:58:38,030 --> 01:58:36,480
whole bathroom and space uh combination

2403
01:58:39,649 --> 01:58:38,040
is one of the most consistently asked

2404
01:58:41,570 --> 01:58:39,659
questions yeah but it's actually a

2405
01:58:43,910 --> 01:58:41,580
pretty big deal it is I mean as we look

2406
01:58:45,890 --> 01:58:43,920
at Orion design and Artemis design I

2407
01:58:47,689 --> 01:58:45,900
mean if the toilet breaks I mean you're

2408
01:58:49,729 --> 01:58:47,699
coming home I mean you

2409
01:58:52,189 --> 01:58:49,739
um right if you get into orbit on the

2410
01:58:53,629 --> 01:58:52,199
Iran checkout and the toilets malfunc I

2411
01:58:55,490 --> 01:58:53,639
mean it's a big deal that's a big deal

2412
01:58:57,530 --> 01:58:55,500
yeah it is a big deal

2413
01:58:59,870 --> 01:58:57,540
um I mean it's if you look at on the

2414
01:59:01,129 --> 01:58:59,880
space station that's one of the you know

2415
01:59:02,990 --> 01:59:01,139
if the toilet goes down that is all

2416
01:59:04,729 --> 01:59:03,000
hands on deck to fix it because that is

2417
01:59:06,310 --> 01:59:04,739
a big deal I mean if you've got seven

2418
01:59:08,750 --> 01:59:06,320
people that can't go to the bathroom

2419
01:59:12,109 --> 01:59:08,760
things are you only have so many diapers

2420
01:59:15,290 --> 01:59:12,119
I Can Only Imagine

2421
01:59:17,510 --> 01:59:15,300
well with that let's head over now to

2422
01:59:19,609 --> 01:59:17,520
Houston for a closer look at what the

2423
01:59:21,589 --> 01:59:19,619
crew will be doing when they reach their

2424
01:59:26,149 --> 01:59:21,599
destination and that's where we turn to

2425
01:59:30,530 --> 01:59:29,089
thanks Daryl once crew 6 arrives at the

2426
01:59:32,810 --> 01:59:30,540
International Space Station they'll

2427
01:59:34,790 --> 01:59:32,820
officially become Expedition 68 flight

2428
01:59:36,410 --> 01:59:34,800
Engineers once on board they'll do

2429
01:59:38,629 --> 01:59:36,420
something known as a direct Handover

2430
01:59:40,070 --> 01:59:38,639
basically saying that crew 5 and crew 6

2431
01:59:43,189 --> 01:59:40,080
will be aboard the space station

2432
01:59:44,870 --> 01:59:43,199
altogether until crew 5 comes home crew

2433
01:59:46,550 --> 01:59:44,880
5 will be able to give crew 6 an

2434
01:59:48,950 --> 01:59:46,560
orientation and show them the ropes

2435
01:59:50,810 --> 01:59:48,960
which might be particularly helpful for

2436
01:59:53,330 --> 01:59:50,820
the three first-time space flyers on

2437
01:59:55,729 --> 01:59:53,340
this flight NASA's Woody hoberg UAE

2438
01:59:58,430 --> 01:59:55,739
astronaut Sultan alniadi and Rose Cosmos

2439
02:00:00,589 --> 01:59:58,440
Cosmonaut Andre fidelv a direct Handover

2440
02:00:03,229 --> 02:00:00,599
also helps ensure a continuous U.S

2441
02:00:05,149 --> 02:00:03,239
presence on the space station which is a

2442
02:00:07,550 --> 02:00:05,159
record we've held for more than 22 years

2443
02:00:09,530 --> 02:00:07,560
now and as the station is first and

2444
02:00:11,930 --> 02:00:09,540
foremost a laboratory the crew will jump

2445
02:00:13,970 --> 02:00:11,940
right into conducting experiments with

2446
02:00:16,370 --> 02:00:13,980
new research still to be delivered on

2447
02:00:18,410 --> 02:00:16,380
upcoming cargo flights but for now we'll

2448
02:00:20,030 --> 02:00:18,420
toss it back over to Jasmine Hopkins

2449
02:00:22,010 --> 02:00:20,040
who's with NASA administrator Bill

2450
02:00:23,930 --> 02:00:22,020
Nelson Jasmine

2451
02:00:25,729 --> 02:00:23,940
thank you so much Courtney yes we're

2452
02:00:27,770 --> 02:00:25,739
back here at Kennedy on the balcony of

2453
02:00:29,689 --> 02:00:27,780
osb2 and right now so honored to be

2454
02:00:31,729 --> 02:00:29,699
joined by administrator Bill Nelson

2455
02:00:33,109 --> 02:00:31,739
thank you for being here it's another

2456
02:00:35,030 --> 02:00:33,119
pleasure

2457
02:00:37,189 --> 02:00:35,040
of course we're always glad to have you

2458
02:00:38,390 --> 02:00:37,199
back at Kennedy and Bill right before we

2459
02:00:39,589 --> 02:00:38,400
were tossed to you actually just

2460
02:00:41,030 --> 02:00:39,599
mentioned that you have been in the

2461
02:00:42,709 --> 02:00:41,040
shoes of these astronauts before that

2462
02:00:44,689 --> 02:00:42,719
when you were flying on shuttle you

2463
02:00:46,790 --> 02:00:44,699
scrubbed it scrubbed four times so do

2464
02:00:48,169 --> 02:00:46,800
you have any words of wisdom any words

2465
02:00:49,609 --> 02:00:48,179
of encouragement for the astronauts

2466
02:00:50,290 --> 02:00:49,619
tonight well

2467
02:00:53,450 --> 02:00:50,300
um

2468
02:00:56,330 --> 02:00:53,460
words of encouragement enjoy yourself

2469
02:00:59,330 --> 02:00:56,340
while you're laying there strapped in on

2470
02:01:00,410 --> 02:00:59,340
your back trying to get off the face of

2471
02:01:03,470 --> 02:01:00,420
the Earth

2472
02:01:08,209 --> 02:01:03,480
but the serious words of encouragement

2473
02:01:10,970 --> 02:01:08,219
is we don't fly until we think it's safe

2474
02:01:12,609 --> 02:01:10,980
and that was what was important about

2475
02:01:16,609 --> 02:01:12,619
the first scrub

2476
02:01:20,530 --> 02:01:16,619
because it just didn't feel right and

2477
02:01:24,589 --> 02:01:20,540
NASA made the call it was the right call

2478
02:01:27,589 --> 02:01:24,599
everything's looking good uh the

2479
02:01:31,189 --> 02:01:27,599
supposed problems that they had before

2480
02:01:32,750 --> 02:01:31,199
have all been fixed and so I expect

2481
02:01:34,550 --> 02:01:32,760
we're going to see a launch tonight

2482
02:01:36,290 --> 02:01:34,560
right we're all looking forward to

2483
02:01:37,850 --> 02:01:36,300
seeing that launch tonight Bill and all

2484
02:01:39,530 --> 02:01:37,860
the work that we're doing in low earth

2485
02:01:41,810 --> 02:01:39,540
orbit on the space station is really

2486
02:01:43,550 --> 02:01:41,820
Paving the way for deep space so what is

2487
02:01:47,649 --> 02:01:43,560
next for Artemis

2488
02:01:50,510 --> 02:01:47,659
well we have just this unbelievable

2489
02:01:53,450 --> 02:01:50,520
opportunity now to go back to the moon

2490
02:01:55,550 --> 02:01:53,460
but this time it's different

2491
02:01:58,729 --> 02:01:55,560
first of all we're going to a different

2492
02:02:01,189 --> 02:01:58,739
place on the moon it's the South Pole

2493
02:02:05,570 --> 02:02:01,199
and that's where we think the water is

2494
02:02:07,370 --> 02:02:05,580
and if you get to harvest water all of a

2495
02:02:09,609 --> 02:02:07,380
sudden you have hydrogen and oxygen

2496
02:02:13,189 --> 02:02:09,619
you've got rocket fuel

2497
02:02:15,770 --> 02:02:13,199
uh we're also going back for a different

2498
02:02:19,070 --> 02:02:15,780
reason we're going to stay there we're

2499
02:02:22,790 --> 02:02:19,080
going to learn to live to work there

2500
02:02:25,490 --> 02:02:22,800
to invent to create all for the purpose

2501
02:02:28,609 --> 02:02:25,500
that we're going to Mars

2502
02:02:33,290 --> 02:02:28,619
and you know the moon's just a few days

2503
02:02:36,709 --> 02:02:33,300
away Mars is months and months away

2504
02:02:39,169 --> 02:02:36,719
and so that's why this is so important

2505
02:02:40,669 --> 02:02:39,179
for us to get back to the Moon it really

2506
02:02:43,250 --> 02:02:40,679
is important and right now we're also

2507
02:02:44,510 --> 02:02:43,260
focusing on going together and the

2508
02:02:45,770 --> 02:02:44,520
commercial crew program this is the

2509
02:02:47,930 --> 02:02:45,780
second time that we've partnered with

2510
02:02:50,390 --> 02:02:47,940
Ross Cosmos but the first time that we

2511
02:02:52,010 --> 02:02:50,400
have a UAE astronaut on board can you

2512
02:02:54,189 --> 02:02:52,020
talk about how these International

2513
02:02:57,410 --> 02:02:54,199
Partnerships really help NASA's Mission

2514
02:02:59,570 --> 02:02:57,420
uh it's a different Mission you pointed

2515
02:03:01,370 --> 02:02:59,580
it out not only by the way with our

2516
02:03:03,950 --> 02:03:01,380
International Partners but with our

2517
02:03:07,729 --> 02:03:03,960
commercial partners because when we go

2518
02:03:09,589 --> 02:03:07,739
to the Moon with the NASA rocket we're

2519
02:03:13,609 --> 02:03:09,599
going to go into lunar orbit and we're

2520
02:03:17,030 --> 02:03:13,619
going to join up with a SpaceX Lander

2521
02:03:19,070 --> 02:03:17,040
and then our crew will then go down to

2522
02:03:21,649 --> 02:03:19,080
the surface for six days

2523
02:03:24,470 --> 02:03:21,659
uh so it's it's a whole new kind of

2524
02:03:27,709 --> 02:03:24,480
program now internationally this has

2525
02:03:29,810 --> 02:03:27,719
become a big deal you just can't imagine

2526
02:03:32,149 --> 02:03:29,820
the enthusiasm

2527
02:03:35,450 --> 02:03:32,159
around this globe

2528
02:03:39,109 --> 02:03:35,460
with our foreign friends how popular

2529
02:03:41,870 --> 02:03:39,119
NASA is and they all want to be a part

2530
02:03:46,129 --> 02:03:41,880
of this program and most of them are

2531
02:03:47,930 --> 02:03:46,139
so tonight we have UAE and Russian

2532
02:03:50,450 --> 02:03:47,940
astronauts

2533
02:03:53,330 --> 02:03:50,460
but look up on the station right now

2534
02:03:56,109 --> 02:03:53,340
they're not only Russians but there are

2535
02:03:59,030 --> 02:03:56,119
is also a Japanese astronaut up there

2536
02:04:01,250 --> 02:03:59,040
and so it is a very international

2537
02:04:04,790 --> 02:04:01,260
program particularly on the space

2538
02:04:07,430 --> 02:04:04,800
station because there we've got 16

2539
02:04:09,169 --> 02:04:07,440
International Partners right it really

2540
02:04:10,669 --> 02:04:09,179
is important we go further when we go

2541
02:04:12,530 --> 02:04:10,679
together administrator Nelson thank you

2542
02:04:15,709 --> 02:04:12,540
so much for being here tonight thanks so

2543
02:04:17,930 --> 02:04:15,719
much of course Daryl back to you

2544
02:04:20,750 --> 02:04:17,940
thank you Jasmine and administrator

2545
02:04:23,930 --> 02:04:20,760
Nelson and we are now T-minus one hour

2546
02:04:26,810 --> 02:04:23,940
in 44 minutes from launch as we look at

2547
02:04:29,270 --> 02:04:26,820
the pad here dragon on top of a falcon 9

2548
02:04:31,189 --> 02:04:29,280
with a crew access arm

2549
02:04:34,250 --> 02:04:31,199
attached at the moment but getting ready

2550
02:04:37,850 --> 02:04:36,050
as we look at it now we want to also

2551
02:04:40,010 --> 02:04:37,860
take a closer look at some of the

2552
02:04:42,589 --> 02:04:40,020
life-changing science that astronauts

2553
02:04:46,750 --> 02:04:42,599
are performing aboard the destination

2554
02:04:51,470 --> 02:04:49,430
the International Space Station is a

2555
02:04:53,510 --> 02:04:51,480
state-of-the-art microgravity laboratory

2556
02:04:55,669 --> 02:04:53,520
that is unlocking discoveries not

2557
02:04:58,609 --> 02:04:55,679
possible on Earth and helping us push

2558
02:05:01,010 --> 02:04:58,619
farther into deep space every single day

2559
02:05:03,229 --> 02:05:01,020
we are answering big questions about

2560
02:05:04,609 --> 02:05:03,239
Earth and about space about where we

2561
02:05:06,410 --> 02:05:04,619
came from and about where we're going

2562
02:05:08,470 --> 02:05:06,420
but the other thing that we're doing is

2563
02:05:12,410 --> 02:05:08,480
we're learning more questions to ask

2564
02:05:14,750 --> 02:05:12,420
[Music]

2565
02:05:16,490 --> 02:05:14,760
microgravity turns almost everything we

2566
02:05:19,250 --> 02:05:16,500
know upside down

2567
02:05:22,129 --> 02:05:19,260
liquids behave completely differently

2568
02:05:24,709 --> 02:05:22,139
Fire Burns in new ways

2569
02:05:26,750 --> 02:05:24,719
biological systems reveal surprises

2570
02:05:28,669 --> 02:05:26,760
there's a few things that have made me

2571
02:05:30,709 --> 02:05:28,679
gasp out loud at bombard space station

2572
02:05:32,510 --> 02:05:30,719
watching heart cells actually beat has

2573
02:05:34,609 --> 02:05:32,520
been a pretty big one

2574
02:05:35,930 --> 02:05:34,619
we're studying ways to grow food in

2575
02:05:38,870 --> 02:05:35,940
microgravity

2576
02:05:41,330 --> 02:05:38,880
I got to tell you these

2577
02:05:44,390 --> 02:05:41,340
these are pretty amazing we're learning

2578
02:05:46,550 --> 02:05:44,400
how human bodies react to life in space

2579
02:05:49,430 --> 02:05:46,560
how to keep crew members safe and strong

2580
02:05:54,169 --> 02:05:49,440
on long duration exploration missions

2581
02:05:58,310 --> 02:05:56,270
we're testing technologies that will be

2582
02:06:01,250 --> 02:05:58,320
critical to our return to the moon and

2583
02:06:03,350 --> 02:06:01,260
great leap to Mars

2584
02:06:05,470 --> 02:06:03,360
our research has contributed to medical

2585
02:06:08,209 --> 02:06:05,480
and social benefits on our home planet

2586
02:06:10,550 --> 02:06:08,219
allowing us to find new ways to combat

2587
02:06:12,830 --> 02:06:10,560
disease back on Earth and develop

2588
02:06:16,790 --> 02:06:12,840
Technologies to deliver clean water to

2589
02:06:21,830 --> 02:06:19,129
spectacular vantage point of more than

2590
02:06:23,870 --> 02:06:21,840
200 miles above our planet supports our

2591
02:06:27,109 --> 02:06:23,880
monitoring of Earth's climate natural

2592
02:06:29,149 --> 02:06:27,119
disasters and plant life the orbital

2593
02:06:31,129 --> 02:06:29,159
perspective that we have here on the ISS

2594
02:06:33,350 --> 02:06:31,139
is just absolutely amazing earth is

2595
02:06:36,109 --> 02:06:33,360
gorgeous

2596
02:06:38,570 --> 02:06:36,119
the growing new space economy so vital

2597
02:06:42,229 --> 02:06:38,580
to our continued progress in space is

2598
02:06:47,030 --> 02:06:45,169
we're inspiring future Generations from

2599
02:06:51,109 --> 02:06:47,040
a platform that is one of the largest

2600
02:06:54,950 --> 02:06:51,119
International collaborations of our time

2601
02:06:55,729 --> 02:06:54,960
we're doing science at 17 500 miles per

2602
02:07:01,180 --> 02:06:55,739
hour

2603
02:07:01,190 --> 02:07:06,589
[Music]

2604
02:07:12,250 --> 02:07:09,470
love the shot of the cells there the

2605
02:07:14,990 --> 02:07:12,260
heart cells beating inside

2606
02:07:17,450 --> 02:07:15,000
microgravity it's a really impressive

2607
02:07:19,550 --> 02:07:17,460
and inside this dragon

2608
02:07:21,709 --> 02:07:19,560
three astronauts and one Cosmonaut going

2609
02:07:24,830 --> 02:07:21,719
up to the International Space Station to

2610
02:07:28,910 --> 02:07:24,840
continue that important work of science

2611
02:07:31,790 --> 02:07:28,920
on our orbiting Laboratory

2612
02:07:34,250 --> 02:07:31,800
well there are astronauts in place

2613
02:07:38,510 --> 02:07:34,260
and are Cosmonaut getting ready for

2614
02:07:40,910 --> 02:07:38,520
liftoff at 12 34 a.m Eastern Time crew

2615
02:07:44,990 --> 02:07:42,649
still got a ways to go we've got to arm

2616
02:07:46,070 --> 02:07:45,000
the launch Escape system gotta fuel up

2617
02:07:48,050 --> 02:07:46,080
the rocket

2618
02:07:49,609 --> 02:07:48,060
count it down and launch it into space

2619
02:07:51,770 --> 02:07:49,619
in the meantime

2620
02:07:53,570 --> 02:07:51,780
our next guest played a key supportive

2621
02:07:55,970 --> 02:07:53,580
role in the development of the Falcon 9

2622
02:07:57,530 --> 02:07:55,980
rocket and dragon spacecraft and we

2623
02:07:59,750 --> 02:07:57,540
visited with him on the first attempt

2624
02:08:01,729 --> 02:07:59,760
and he's back his name is John Posey and

2625
02:08:03,470 --> 02:08:01,739
he's NASA's crew Dragon lead engineer

2626
02:08:05,390 --> 02:08:03,480
appreciate you having you back thanks

2627
02:08:07,790 --> 02:08:05,400
for having me back John you were on the

2628
02:08:09,350 --> 02:08:07,800
console yesterday as we counted down or

2629
02:08:10,850 --> 02:08:09,360
I'm sorry not yesterday Sunday I should

2630
02:08:13,189 --> 02:08:10,860
say overnight during the first attempt

2631
02:08:15,350 --> 02:08:13,199
and we were just talking about you know

2632
02:08:17,629 --> 02:08:15,360
how NASA and SpaceX Works through

2633
02:08:19,729 --> 02:08:17,639
something like that just to recap there

2634
02:08:21,830 --> 02:08:19,739
was a clogged filter for the engine

2635
02:08:23,570 --> 02:08:21,840
ignition fluid

2636
02:08:25,370 --> 02:08:23,580
um that they saw the data but weren't

2637
02:08:26,930 --> 02:08:25,380
exactly sure at the moment what the

2638
02:08:29,209 --> 02:08:26,940
cause was found out later what it was

2639
02:08:31,490 --> 02:08:29,219
cleared it out fixed it and here we go

2640
02:08:32,629 --> 02:08:31,500
again how does NASA and SpaceX work

2641
02:08:35,089 --> 02:08:32,639
through something like that Dragon

2642
02:08:37,370 --> 02:08:35,099
SpaceX confirm when ready for comtrex

2643
02:08:39,649 --> 02:08:37,380
with Falcon 9 operators on the loops on

2644
02:08:41,629 --> 02:08:39,659
the net talking to each other on the

2645
02:08:44,149 --> 02:08:41,639
NASA side the the mission support team

2646
02:08:45,589 --> 02:08:44,159
that my team and I report up the up the

2647
02:08:48,290 --> 02:08:45,599
loop through the chief engineer to the

2648
02:08:50,990 --> 02:08:48,300
NASA ops manager the NASA ops manager is

2649
02:08:52,609 --> 02:08:51,000
in direct contact with space X launch

2650
02:08:54,350 --> 02:08:52,619
director throughout the whole counts you

2651
02:08:56,510 --> 02:08:54,360
know keeping a prize of issues that we

2652
02:08:58,669 --> 02:08:56,520
can evaluate it as a team make sure that

2653
02:09:00,229 --> 02:08:58,679
both SpaceX and the NASA side get

2654
02:09:02,750 --> 02:09:00,239
comfortable that we're good for crew

2655
02:09:04,910 --> 02:09:02,760
launch and so like as you said with the

2656
02:09:07,430 --> 02:09:04,920
igniter fluid the t-tab the pyrophoric

2657
02:09:10,370 --> 02:09:07,440
fluid that they load into the rocket to

2658
02:09:12,950 --> 02:09:10,380
ignite the Merlin engines on Falcon 9's

2659
02:09:14,990 --> 02:09:12,960
first stage they

2660
02:09:16,850 --> 02:09:15,000
provided the supply of the fluid and

2661
02:09:18,470 --> 02:09:16,860
they were expecting to see a good bleed

2662
02:09:20,510 --> 02:09:18,480
in and start see a response in the catch

2663
02:09:23,209 --> 02:09:20,520
tank and at first they weren't seeing a

2664
02:09:24,830 --> 02:09:23,219
response did some troubleshooting and

2665
02:09:27,470 --> 02:09:24,840
started to see a little bit of response

2666
02:09:30,530 --> 02:09:27,480
but it was abnormal so you know based on

2667
02:09:32,629 --> 02:09:30,540
the the response of the catch tank and

2668
02:09:34,669 --> 02:09:32,639
how that fluid fill was not really in

2669
02:09:36,530 --> 02:09:34,679
family you know the the team talked

2670
02:09:37,910 --> 02:09:36,540
through different scenarios you know

2671
02:09:40,129 --> 02:09:37,920
what could happen if we don't have a

2672
02:09:41,810 --> 02:09:40,139
full bleed in what is the the

2673
02:09:43,669 --> 02:09:41,820
appropriate course of action so in the

2674
02:09:46,430 --> 02:09:43,679
end I think the team made a really good

2675
02:09:48,109 --> 02:09:46,440
call to to stand down that attempt and

2676
02:09:50,870 --> 02:09:48,119
then of course since then they've gone

2677
02:09:52,310 --> 02:09:50,880
into the system did find you know like

2678
02:09:55,129 --> 02:09:52,320
you said a clock filter a little bit

2679
02:09:57,229 --> 02:09:55,139
more oxidation than typical and that's

2680
02:10:00,109 --> 02:09:57,239
kind of expected over the course of that

2681
02:10:01,669 --> 02:10:00,119
system's use and SpaceX does proactively

2682
02:10:04,010 --> 02:10:01,679
go in and change that filter very

2683
02:10:06,709 --> 02:10:04,020
frequently this one got clogged a little

2684
02:10:08,149 --> 02:10:06,719
sooner than normal so uh caught us a

2685
02:10:10,609 --> 02:10:08,159
little bit by surprise after you know

2686
02:10:13,850 --> 02:10:10,619
having a good performance on static fire

2687
02:10:16,430 --> 02:10:13,860
but uh you know sometimes things like

2688
02:10:19,070 --> 02:10:16,440
that happen there's so many systems so

2689
02:10:21,410 --> 02:10:19,080
many systems that have to be just right

2690
02:10:23,209 --> 02:10:21,420
in order for a rocket launch to go off

2691
02:10:24,350 --> 02:10:23,219
so it is impressive when they have

2692
02:10:26,030 --> 02:10:24,360
something like that and work quickly

2693
02:10:28,669 --> 02:10:26,040
through it yeah that's to turn it around

2694
02:10:30,530 --> 02:10:28,679
that quickly is is like Kathy and

2695
02:10:32,290 --> 02:10:30,540
multiple said in light of this it just

2696
02:10:35,149 --> 02:10:32,300
reminds us space flight is hard

2697
02:10:37,490 --> 02:10:35,159
absolutely and so John now that you're

2698
02:10:40,609 --> 02:10:37,500
returning for launch attempt number two

2699
02:10:43,129 --> 02:10:40,619
how does the team reset for the next

2700
02:10:45,890 --> 02:10:43,139
attempt yeah you know so the team has

2701
02:10:47,570 --> 02:10:45,900
had a a couple days to rest and get uh

2702
02:10:49,669 --> 02:10:47,580
you know eyes on the data from the first

2703
02:10:50,990 --> 02:10:49,679
attempt you know very important so you

2704
02:10:53,330 --> 02:10:51,000
know we look through all the different

2705
02:10:55,010 --> 02:10:53,340
uh performance sensor blips anything

2706
02:10:57,410 --> 02:10:55,020
that there is to look at make sure that

2707
02:11:00,169 --> 02:10:57,420
we're good to go today so yeah the

2708
02:11:01,850 --> 02:11:00,179
team's on Console I talked I checked in

2709
02:11:03,830 --> 02:11:01,860
um with the folks on Console just uh

2710
02:11:05,390 --> 02:11:03,840
before coming on air and everything's

2711
02:11:07,490 --> 02:11:05,400
been going great so you know Dragon

2712
02:11:09,350 --> 02:11:07,500
looks like it's ready to go today and so

2713
02:11:10,910 --> 02:11:09,360
we'll keep monitoring right through the

2714
02:11:13,490 --> 02:11:10,920
the big phases like you said launch

2715
02:11:16,669 --> 02:11:13,500
Escape arm and then if the entire

2716
02:11:18,830 --> 02:11:16,679
vehicle is ready and and everyone's uh

2717
02:11:20,689 --> 02:11:18,840
go for flight we'll uh we'll go get this

2718
02:11:22,970 --> 02:11:20,699
off the ground today and that's great

2719
02:11:26,089 --> 02:11:22,980
news the you know everything been going

2720
02:11:28,010 --> 02:11:26,099
pretty smoothly so far our uh weather

2721
02:11:30,050 --> 02:11:28,020
and the ascent Corridor is the one thing

2722
02:11:32,510 --> 02:11:30,060
we're kind of keeping an eye on closely

2723
02:11:33,950 --> 02:11:32,520
keep an eye on a lot of things but that

2724
02:11:36,830 --> 02:11:33,960
one is the one that's kind of right on

2725
02:11:38,330 --> 02:11:36,840
the line there but so far looking like

2726
02:11:40,609 --> 02:11:38,340
we're going to go forward for an attempt

2727
02:11:43,310 --> 02:11:40,619
and that's great news we've got three

2728
02:11:46,010 --> 02:11:43,320
consecutive days right that we can do it

2729
02:11:47,870 --> 02:11:46,020
now so every 24 hours we have an

2730
02:11:50,390 --> 02:11:47,880
opportunity a little less than 24 hours

2731
02:11:52,609 --> 02:11:50,400
and why is that that we can go three

2732
02:11:54,169 --> 02:11:52,619
days in a row well you know it's how the

2733
02:11:55,850 --> 02:11:54,179
orbital mechanics work out right for

2734
02:11:57,589 --> 02:11:55,860
getting to the station you know and

2735
02:11:59,330 --> 02:11:57,599
looking at the phasing times the

2736
02:12:01,430 --> 02:11:59,340
duration is important you know some days

2737
02:12:02,810 --> 02:12:01,440
uh the phasing time to get to the

2738
02:12:04,910 --> 02:12:02,820
International Space Station would just

2739
02:12:06,410 --> 02:12:04,920
be too long for the crew to be you know

2740
02:12:07,370 --> 02:12:06,420
inside there for three four days so we

2741
02:12:09,350 --> 02:12:07,380
try to get you know shorter

2742
02:12:11,270 --> 02:12:09,360
opportunities uh of course you know

2743
02:12:14,270 --> 02:12:11,280
we're protecting for contingencies right

2744
02:12:16,850 --> 02:12:14,280
if the uh if we go on a very long

2745
02:12:19,250 --> 02:12:16,860
phasing and then had an issue docking

2746
02:12:21,109 --> 02:12:19,260
had to do rerendezvous come back had bad

2747
02:12:23,209 --> 02:12:21,119
weather you know we protect for a lot of

2748
02:12:25,669 --> 02:12:23,219
extra days of capability in the cabin as

2749
02:12:27,109 --> 02:12:25,679
uh as Raja is well aware so you know

2750
02:12:28,790 --> 02:12:27,119
just protecting for those opportunities

2751
02:12:29,930 --> 02:12:28,800
and picking the the best times to get

2752
02:12:32,330 --> 02:12:29,940
the station

2753
02:12:33,709 --> 02:12:32,340
well we hope that this is the one the

2754
02:12:35,990 --> 02:12:33,719
second attempt and we won't have to

2755
02:12:38,629 --> 02:12:36,000
visit those other two opportunities John

2756
02:12:40,850 --> 02:12:38,639
Posey crew Dragon lead engineer thanks

2757
02:12:43,070 --> 02:12:40,860
for being here for NASA and we know

2758
02:12:45,890 --> 02:12:43,080
you're now headed on Console headed over

2759
02:12:47,149 --> 02:12:45,900
there to do your job yes sir all right

and now we'll head out to our VIP

2763
02:12:56,209 --> 02:12:53,159
location where our Jasmine Hopkins is

2764
02:12:58,609 --> 02:12:56,219
with a pair of special guests Jasmine

2765
02:13:00,709 --> 02:12:58,619
thank you so much Daryl the energy is

2766
02:13:02,629 --> 02:13:00,719
picking up here at osb2 as we March

2767
02:13:04,669 --> 02:13:02,639
closer to launch right now I'm so glad

2768
02:13:06,589 --> 02:13:04,679
to be joined by Salim almari the

2769
02:13:08,870 --> 02:13:06,599
director general of the Muhammad bin

2770
02:13:11,270 --> 02:13:08,880
Rasheed Space Center as well as huzzah

2771
02:13:12,649 --> 02:13:11,280
al-mansori UAE astronaut thank you so

2772
02:13:14,390 --> 02:13:12,659
much for being here tonight thank you

2773
02:13:17,689 --> 02:13:14,400
Jasmine of course Lynn we'll start with

2774
02:13:19,550 --> 02:13:17,699
you uh Sultan is the first UAE astronaut

2775
02:13:21,350 --> 02:13:19,560
to go on a long duration mission to the

2776
02:13:23,030 --> 02:13:21,360
space station he'll be on a six-month

2777
02:13:24,950 --> 02:13:23,040
science Mission so what is the UAE

2778
02:13:26,510 --> 02:13:24,960
hoping to learn from him definitely

2779
02:13:28,189 --> 02:13:26,520
there's a lot we plan to do during this

2780
02:13:30,109 --> 02:13:28,199
Mission and learn from him and from this

2781
02:13:31,370 --> 02:13:30,119
six-month duration so there's a lot of

2782
02:13:33,530 --> 02:13:31,380
science we're going to be doing a lot of

2783
02:13:35,629 --> 02:13:33,540
human life sciences there are science

2784
02:13:36,950 --> 02:13:35,639
with over 20 different experiments with

2785
02:13:38,569 --> 02:13:36,960
UA universities and international

2786
02:13:40,609 --> 02:13:38,579
universities so that's something really

2787
02:13:43,129 --> 02:13:40,619
big for us but we also have a very

2788
02:13:44,930 --> 02:13:43,139
in-depth education program where we try

2789
02:13:46,970 --> 02:13:44,940
we will try and reach every school kid

2790
02:13:49,850 --> 02:13:46,980
in the UAE doing simple science

2791
02:13:51,589 --> 02:13:49,860
experiments simple YouTube videos and of

2792
02:13:53,330 --> 02:13:51,599
course other than that we'll do a lot of

2793
02:13:55,430 --> 02:13:53,340
Pao events where we have these live

2794
02:13:58,370 --> 02:13:55,440
chats with astronauts with the astronaut

2795
02:13:59,750 --> 02:13:58,380
from space with our kids and public so I

2796
02:14:01,729 --> 02:13:59,760
think there's we're quite excited for

2797
02:14:03,169 --> 02:14:01,739
this uh for this six-month duration

2798
02:14:08,209 --> 02:14:03,179
mission right a lot of excitement

2799
02:14:12,589 --> 02:14:10,250
you said uh Sunday or Monday's uh

2800
02:14:13,850 --> 02:14:12,599
morning attempt to now so how is he

2801
02:14:16,790 --> 02:14:13,860
feeling uh getting ready for launch

2802
02:14:18,410 --> 02:14:16,800
again uh Sultan he's super excited about

2803
02:14:21,410 --> 02:14:18,420
his lunch it's going to be his first

2804
02:14:23,689 --> 02:14:21,420
mission uh first mission for also Woody

2805
02:14:26,569 --> 02:14:23,699
and Andre Fu dive they are super excited

2806
02:14:28,669 --> 02:14:26,579
they can't wait to to experience the

2807
02:14:30,350 --> 02:14:28,679
weightlessness and to just to start

2808
02:14:32,030 --> 02:14:30,360
conducting science and to conduct

2809
02:14:34,310 --> 02:14:32,040
experiments onboard The Internship space

2810
02:14:35,870 --> 02:14:34,320
station it is a really beautiful night

2811
02:14:38,510 --> 02:14:35,880
for lunch so hopefully it's going to

2812
02:14:40,490 --> 02:14:38,520
happen today and we are looking forward

2813
02:14:42,530 --> 02:14:40,500
to see them floating within couple of

2814
02:14:43,970 --> 02:14:42,540
hours yeah we really are looking forward

2815
02:14:45,649 --> 02:14:43,980
to that it is a beautiful night for

2816
02:14:47,270 --> 02:14:45,659
launch so everybody's looking forward to

2817
02:14:48,830 --> 02:14:47,280
it thank you both so much for being here

2818
02:14:51,589 --> 02:14:48,840
tonight thank you thank you so much of

2819
02:14:53,629 --> 02:14:51,599
course Daryl back to you all right thank

2820
02:14:56,390 --> 02:14:53,639
you Jasmine and we are now T-minus one

2821
02:14:58,250 --> 02:14:56,400
hour and 33 minutes until liftoff of

2822
02:15:00,229 --> 02:14:58,260
crew six from the Kennedy Space Center

2823
02:15:04,450 --> 02:15:00,239
here in Florida you're watching live

2824
02:15:09,350 --> 02:15:07,250
monitoring the crew inside and we've had

2825
02:15:11,629 --> 02:15:09,360
some great great interviews but in the

2826
02:15:13,850 --> 02:15:11,639
interim during that time

2827
02:15:16,550 --> 02:15:13,860
we heard that we're working no issues

2828
02:15:18,709 --> 02:15:16,560
and the team is moving forward through

2829
02:15:20,390 --> 02:15:18,719
the countdown yep and we heard uh good

2830
02:15:22,430 --> 02:15:20,400
Comm checks you heard that earlier right

2831
02:15:23,689 --> 02:15:22,440
before we interviewed John that they

2832
02:15:25,010 --> 02:15:23,699
were going to redo the ground checks so

2833
02:15:29,810 --> 02:15:25,020
it sounds like those were done

2834
02:15:34,129 --> 02:15:32,330
and uh yeah as you saw it you mentioned

2835
02:15:35,750 --> 02:15:34,139
to that ISS video the science going on

2836
02:15:37,669 --> 02:15:35,760
there and you can see underneath Woody's

2837
02:15:40,790 --> 02:15:37,679
feet just some of the science

2838
02:15:42,830 --> 02:15:40,800
um so this on average each increment so

2839
02:15:44,870 --> 02:15:42,840
they'll be part of expedition 68 69 when

2840
02:15:46,430 --> 02:15:44,880
they get out there uh running about 300

2841
02:15:48,830 --> 02:15:46,440
experiments in increment which is just

2842
02:15:50,750 --> 02:15:48,840
incredible when you think about uh you

2843
02:15:52,910 --> 02:15:50,760
know what that National Lab is doing up

2844
02:15:54,890 --> 02:15:52,920
there and with having four people go up

2845
02:15:57,649 --> 02:15:54,900
at a time just allows so much more

2846
02:15:59,330 --> 02:15:57,659
bandwidth and Science and I mean I think

2847
02:16:01,450 --> 02:15:59,340
that's the reason I think most of us do

2848
02:16:03,470 --> 02:16:01,460
the job just some exciting

2849
02:16:05,390 --> 02:16:03,480
changing things I think my favorite

2850
02:16:07,609 --> 02:16:05,400
experiments we did up there I I call

2851
02:16:10,550 --> 02:16:07,619
them Dual Purpose things so uh some

2852
02:16:11,870 --> 02:16:10,560
water uh Reclamation and then carbon

2853
02:16:13,850 --> 02:16:11,880
dioxide scrubbing things and we were

2854
02:16:16,430 --> 02:16:13,860
doing those things uh because they help

2855
02:16:18,890 --> 02:16:16,440
us with exploration so if we can have 98

2856
02:16:20,870 --> 02:16:18,900
of our water reclaimed then we can meet

2857
02:16:23,569 --> 02:16:20,880
the mass margins to go to Mars and if we

2858
02:16:25,669 --> 02:16:23,579
can scrub CO2 again we can we can live

2859
02:16:27,109 --> 02:16:25,679
in on the moon and on Mars but the cool

2860
02:16:28,310 --> 02:16:27,119
thing about those Technologies is if you

2861
02:16:32,150 --> 02:16:28,320
scale them on Earth I mean think about

2862
02:16:34,009 --> 02:16:32,160
reclaiming 98 of our water and or are

2863
02:16:36,349 --> 02:16:34,019
solving our CO2 problems I mean these

2864
02:16:38,870 --> 02:16:36,359
are existential species changing

2865
02:16:40,009 --> 02:16:38,880
Technologies and just to the you know

2866
02:16:41,570 --> 02:16:40,019
that we're just starting to get in the

2867
02:16:43,370 --> 02:16:41,580
fundamentals of and if we can solve some

2868
02:16:45,589 --> 02:16:43,380
of those problems I mean the the impact

2869
02:16:47,209 --> 02:16:45,599
NASA can have just on on the world let

2870
02:16:49,250 --> 02:16:47,219
alone the solar system is is

2871
02:16:51,410 --> 02:16:49,260
mind-boggling so I think that's to me

2872
02:16:53,030 --> 02:16:51,420
why I love this job and why I think so

2873
02:16:55,129 --> 02:16:53,040
much of us love doing this and the

2874
02:16:57,469 --> 02:16:55,139
things you can discover in a micro in

2875
02:16:59,570 --> 02:16:57,479
gravity environment um even simple

2876
02:17:00,770 --> 02:16:59,580
things like we did a concrete hardening

2877
02:17:02,089 --> 02:17:00,780
experiment when I was up there I

2878
02:17:03,730 --> 02:17:02,099
remember which I thought thought at the

2879
02:17:05,990 --> 02:17:03,740
time was like

2880
02:17:07,669 --> 02:17:06,000
I'm sorry for whoever the four sides is

2881
02:17:09,650 --> 02:17:07,679
like how lame is this watch it literally

2882
02:17:11,690 --> 02:17:09,660
watching concrete Harden but Matthias

2883
02:17:13,549 --> 02:17:11,700
who's a brilliant materials scientist

2884
02:17:14,690 --> 02:17:13,559
explained to me so that the reason we

2885
02:17:16,490 --> 02:17:14,700
were doing it was to be able to use

2886
02:17:18,469 --> 02:17:16,500
regolith on the surface of the Moon to

2887
02:17:20,209 --> 02:17:18,479
build structures but the other cool

2888
02:17:22,429 --> 02:17:20,219
earth science part is apparently

2889
02:17:24,410 --> 02:17:22,439
concrete hardening releases CO2 and it's

2890
02:17:26,150 --> 02:17:24,420
a ridiculous amount of carbon we put in

2891
02:17:28,070 --> 02:17:26,160
the in the atmosphere on the earth just

2892
02:17:29,629 --> 02:17:28,080
from the process of it hardening so one

2893
02:17:31,549 --> 02:17:29,639
of the side benefits is this is figuring

2894
02:17:33,469 --> 02:17:31,559
out better ways for concrete to harden

2895
02:17:35,089 --> 02:17:33,479
and you think about all the developing

2896
02:17:36,709 --> 02:17:35,099
places in the world if we just gave them

2897
02:17:38,929 --> 02:17:36,719
a simpler concrete formulation that

2898
02:17:42,169 --> 02:17:38,939
didn't emit greenhouse gases again just

2899
02:17:44,089 --> 02:17:42,179
game changing stuff so really cool that

2900
02:17:45,469 --> 02:17:44,099
you know each increment is going to do

2901
02:17:46,969 --> 02:17:45,479
that and this National Lab is just

2902
02:17:48,410 --> 02:17:46,979
paying huge dividends besides teaching

2903
02:17:49,849 --> 02:17:48,420
us how to live and work in space and get

2904
02:17:51,950 --> 02:17:49,859
to the moon in Mars but also change in

2905
02:17:54,950 --> 02:17:51,960
our life every day there have been

2906
02:17:56,990 --> 02:17:54,960
spin-offs from space ever since you know

2907
02:17:59,509 --> 02:17:57,000
the Space Program came into existence

2908
02:18:02,750 --> 02:17:59,519
and it's amazing to hear just how many

2909
02:18:04,969 --> 02:18:02,760
continue to come and benefit not just us

2910
02:18:06,290 --> 02:18:04,979
but Humanity yeah and it's uh I mean

2911
02:18:07,190 --> 02:18:06,300
that's actually more data that we know

2912
02:18:08,750 --> 02:18:07,200
what to do with one of the common

2913
02:18:09,889 --> 02:18:08,760
problems or not problems with people are

2914
02:18:12,410 --> 02:18:09,899
like what's what's the most important

2915
02:18:14,690 --> 02:18:12,420
experiment you did like I it's hard to

2916
02:18:16,669 --> 02:18:14,700
say I mean every every day we're doing

2917
02:18:18,770 --> 02:18:16,679
someone's life's work some universities

2918
02:18:20,270 --> 02:18:18,780
you know years of research and we get to

2919
02:18:21,709 --> 02:18:20,280
be the ones that actually finish the

2920
02:18:23,990 --> 02:18:21,719
execution of it so it's just amazing

2921
02:18:25,669 --> 02:18:24,000
experience up there and what a privilege

2922
02:18:27,770 --> 02:18:25,679
to be able to do that

2923
02:18:29,690 --> 02:18:27,780
we are currently at T minus one hour and

2924
02:18:30,889 --> 02:18:29,700
30 minutes until dragon flies its next

2925
02:18:34,129 --> 02:18:30,899
four-person crew to the International

2926
02:18:36,349 --> 02:18:34,139
Space Station the astronauts as we can

2927
02:18:39,169 --> 02:18:36,359
see earlier and now as we look at the

2928
02:18:41,750 --> 02:18:39,179
spacecraft there they are

2929
02:18:44,270 --> 02:18:41,760
Commander Stephen Bowen pilot Woody

2930
02:18:47,990 --> 02:18:44,280
hoberg and Mission specialist Sultan

2931
02:18:50,870 --> 02:18:48,000
al-nayadi and Andre fedev

2932
02:18:54,770 --> 02:18:50,880
in their seats they're strapped in

2933
02:18:59,629 --> 02:18:57,049
and along our launch our launch timeline

2934
02:19:01,429 --> 02:18:59,639
at the moment

2935
02:19:03,770 --> 02:19:01,439
we're getting ready to have those launch

2936
02:19:06,709 --> 02:19:03,780
Escape system and communication checks

2937
02:19:08,990 --> 02:19:06,719
conducted by the Falcon launch Team

2938
02:19:10,549 --> 02:19:09,000
and we'll be listening in for that call

2939
02:19:14,690 --> 02:19:10,559
out

2940
02:19:17,629 --> 02:19:14,700
still working uh items there and we

2941
02:19:19,790 --> 02:19:17,639
expect around team Eisen hours when they

2942
02:19:21,410 --> 02:19:19,800
would probably start departing and then

2943
02:19:23,330 --> 02:19:21,420
that that gives them time to clear out

2944
02:19:26,509 --> 02:19:23,340
the uh what we call the hazard Zone

2945
02:19:28,370 --> 02:19:26,519
before they start working the the launch

2946
02:19:30,530 --> 02:19:28,380
Escape systems

2947
02:19:32,570 --> 02:19:30,540
each crew 6 astronaut is allowed to

2948
02:19:35,750 --> 02:19:32,580
bring a few personal items with them

2949
02:19:36,830 --> 02:19:35,760
inside the Dragon capsule there and they

2950
02:19:38,270 --> 02:19:36,840
do that

2951
02:19:41,089 --> 02:19:38,280
so they can have something for their

2952
02:19:43,070 --> 02:19:41,099
roughly six months in space you know

2953
02:19:45,349 --> 02:19:43,080
something from Earth to remind them of

2954
02:19:47,030 --> 02:19:45,359
family friends loved ones

2955
02:19:49,550 --> 02:19:47,040
something they love about planet Earth

2956
02:19:52,130 --> 02:19:49,560
and here's a few of the items that crew

2957
02:19:54,650 --> 02:19:52,140
six is taking up Sultan al-nayadi said

2958
02:19:56,450 --> 02:19:54,660
he's bringing a kimono he's he's going

2959
02:19:59,750 --> 02:19:56,460
to be throwing some moves up there some

2960
02:20:02,450 --> 02:19:59,760
Jiu Jitsu he's also bringing a small toy

2961
02:20:05,210 --> 02:20:02,460
rocket from the popular European comic

2962
02:20:07,610 --> 02:20:05,220
Tin Tin Andre fediev is taking a few

2963
02:20:09,650 --> 02:20:07,620
photos and some pins he plans on sharing

2964
02:20:11,510 --> 02:20:09,660
with his family when he gets back home

2965
02:20:13,429 --> 02:20:11,520
for NASA astronaut Woody hoberg he's

2966
02:20:18,530 --> 02:20:13,439
bringing one simple item a photograph

2967
02:20:22,790 --> 02:20:20,270
in terms of personal items mine's uh

2968
02:20:25,370 --> 02:20:22,800
simple unfortunately over the summer I I

2969
02:20:26,929 --> 02:20:25,380
lost my father and so I'm just bringing

2970
02:20:29,090 --> 02:20:26,939
a photo of him that means a lot to me

2971
02:20:32,570 --> 02:20:29,100
and I wish he could come along with me

2972
02:20:35,090 --> 02:20:32,580
but at least I'll I'll well I will be

2973
02:20:35,870 --> 02:20:35,100
bringing him along with me I'll talk

2974
02:20:40,070 --> 02:20:35,880
this

2975
02:20:42,349 --> 02:20:40,080
Raj what he says it's a picture of his

2976
02:20:44,030 --> 02:20:42,359
dad Jim hoberg finishing the Boston

2977
02:20:45,950 --> 02:20:44,040
Marathon and leaving it all in the

2978
02:20:48,230 --> 02:20:45,960
course Jim hoberg along with his wife

2979
02:20:50,750 --> 02:20:48,240
Peggy Rays Woody and his brother in

2980
02:20:53,090 --> 02:20:50,760
Pittsburgh PA he was an electrical

2981
02:20:55,010 --> 02:20:53,100
engineering professor at Carnegie Mellon

2982
02:20:57,290 --> 02:20:55,020
University where he was known for his

2983
02:21:00,889 --> 02:20:57,300
exceptional teaching when he was 75

2984
02:21:02,690 --> 02:21:00,899
years of age he passed away at 75 I

2985
02:21:06,110 --> 02:21:02,700
should say what he says he will remember

2986
02:21:08,929 --> 02:21:06,120
his father for always showing up and for

2987
02:21:10,790 --> 02:21:08,939
his Relentless Pursuit Of Truth when he

2988
02:21:13,130 --> 02:21:10,800
gets to space he's going to keep that

2989
02:21:14,870 --> 02:21:13,140
photo in his crew quarters a touching

2990
02:21:17,330 --> 02:21:14,880
tribute to his father

2991
02:21:19,370 --> 02:21:17,340
all the way up there in space yeah and I

2992
02:21:20,809 --> 02:21:19,380
think what a tribute and like we were

2993
02:21:23,570 --> 02:21:20,819
talking about before none of us got here

2994
02:21:25,550 --> 02:21:23,580
on our own someone got us here and you

2995
02:21:27,469 --> 02:21:25,560
know Woody's dad made Woody who he is

2996
02:21:30,110 --> 02:21:27,479
all of our parents made us who we are

2997
02:21:33,170 --> 02:21:30,120
the instructors at JSC the centers we

2998
02:21:35,870 --> 02:21:33,180
visit we are really just a reflection of

2999
02:21:38,030 --> 02:21:35,880
them so I uh I'm glad what he's able to

3000
02:21:40,250 --> 02:21:38,040
take his his father with him I think

3001
02:21:41,690 --> 02:21:40,260
most astronauts take things for mine

3002
02:21:43,969 --> 02:21:41,700
them with their family their loved ones

3003
02:21:46,429 --> 02:21:43,979
up with them because you are separated

3004
02:21:48,230 --> 02:21:46,439
from the from the Earth but it's right

3005
02:21:49,190 --> 02:21:48,240
there but she you can't go home at the

3006
02:21:50,870 --> 02:21:49,200
end of the night so having that to

3007
02:21:52,849 --> 02:21:50,880
remind you is very important

3008
02:21:55,309 --> 02:21:52,859
now here's what we talk about what you

3009
02:21:56,750 --> 02:21:55,319
brought up and we did this last time but

3010
02:21:59,270 --> 02:21:56,760
I changed I had to change my show and

3011
02:22:02,270 --> 02:21:59,280
tell yeah I love that you did that by

3012
02:22:04,190 --> 02:22:02,280
the way what do you have so uh last time

3013
02:22:06,530 --> 02:22:04,200
I had my Academy shirt I also had a high

3014
02:22:08,330 --> 02:22:06,540
school shirt so you brought two I had

3015
02:22:10,309 --> 02:22:08,340
two shirts yeah okay what do we have I'm

3016
02:22:12,110 --> 02:22:10,319
a sailor so from from Waterloo Iowa yeah

3017
02:22:14,210 --> 02:22:12,120
so I grew up Waterloo Iowa that's right

3018
02:22:16,969 --> 02:22:14,220
my high school shirt one thing so we

3019
02:22:19,610 --> 02:22:16,979
showed these last time yeah uh showed my

3020
02:22:21,230 --> 02:22:19,620
space for Taylor I was also not supposed

3021
02:22:23,270 --> 02:22:21,240
to bring back how can I forget

3022
02:22:24,830 --> 02:22:23,280
um so I did I showed last time we had uh

3023
02:22:26,330 --> 02:22:24,840
the rmo for our mission the other one I

3024
02:22:27,469 --> 02:22:26,340
brought up so my wife works for the

3025
02:22:29,030 --> 02:22:27,479
Department of Veterans Affairs and

3026
02:22:30,889 --> 02:22:29,040
that's obviously near and dear to my

3027
02:22:33,830 --> 02:22:30,899
heart the agency itself so I brought up

3028
02:22:35,630 --> 02:22:33,840
an rmo or a coin I'll say it out loud

3029
02:22:38,450 --> 02:22:35,640
but uh from from the Department of

3030
02:22:39,830 --> 02:22:38,460
Veterans Affairs uh the other thing we

3031
02:22:41,809 --> 02:22:39,840
bring up the last thing I saw what the

3032
02:22:43,670 --> 02:22:41,819
astronauts is a Mach 25 patch and

3033
02:22:45,170 --> 02:22:43,680
hundred day patches and then you fly

3034
02:22:47,210 --> 02:22:45,180
those and also things called Silver

3035
02:22:49,849 --> 02:22:47,220
snoopies which are pins that we give out

3036
02:22:50,870 --> 02:22:49,859
to a very small percentage of the NASA

3037
02:22:52,370 --> 02:22:50,880
Workforce so it's a really special

3038
02:22:54,170 --> 02:22:52,380
little to get one that's flown in space

3039
02:22:57,349 --> 02:22:54,180
and specifically from one that was flown

3040
02:22:59,630 --> 02:22:57,359
by an astronaut for you this is uh

3041
02:23:02,150 --> 02:22:59,640
similar not silver Snoopy but a pendant

3042
02:23:04,910 --> 02:23:02,160
with our patch on it and we flew these

3043
02:23:05,929 --> 02:23:04,920
for some of the key people so for some

3044
02:23:07,309 --> 02:23:05,939
of the folks that helped with our

3045
02:23:10,010 --> 02:23:07,319
mission planning and training so you can

3046
02:23:11,690 --> 02:23:10,020
see the three on there and so the ones

3047
02:23:13,429 --> 02:23:11,700
that are yeah ones that are flowing in

3048
02:23:19,630 --> 02:23:13,439
space are obviously highly sought offer

3049
02:23:25,130 --> 02:23:22,910
my wife is definitely my better half and

3050
02:23:26,750 --> 02:23:25,140
so I had all kinds of cards and notes

3051
02:23:28,730 --> 02:23:26,760
for my kids including look at this look

3052
02:23:31,370 --> 02:23:28,740
at what this one says right here can't

3053
02:23:33,349 --> 02:23:31,380
wait and a little Landing one in the

3054
02:23:35,630 --> 02:23:33,359

3057
02:23:42,590 --> 02:23:39,660

they're saying it's Dad coming home oh

3061
02:23:50,929 --> 02:23:49,620
my gosh and then the interesting one we

3062
02:23:54,050 --> 02:23:50,939
didn't talk about we talked about what

3063
02:23:55,790 --> 02:23:54,060
Nick Hague ninja 12 is helping uh but so

3064
02:23:58,429 --> 02:23:55,800
a lot of us fly up with glasses I don't

3065
02:24:00,530 --> 02:23:58,439
wear glasses but um people have heard

3066
02:24:02,750 --> 02:24:00,540
the term sand so your eyes your vision

3067
02:24:05,150 --> 02:24:02,760
shifts in space and so what happens it

3068
02:24:06,469 --> 02:24:05,160
shifts so what happens is the fluid in

3069
02:24:08,929 --> 02:24:06,479
your body

3070
02:24:10,070 --> 02:24:08,939
pushes up and what can happen or this is

3071
02:24:12,050 --> 02:24:10,080
the leading theory so we're actually

3072
02:24:14,210 --> 02:24:12,060
still trying to figure out exactly what

3073
02:24:15,770 --> 02:24:14,220
what happens but the leading theory is

3074
02:24:17,270 --> 02:24:15,780
that that fluid pushes against the back

3075
02:24:19,370 --> 02:24:17,280
of your cornea it changes the shape of

3076
02:24:20,870 --> 02:24:19,380
your eye and so they fly us up so I

3077
02:24:24,110 --> 02:24:20,880
actually use the glasses I had with me

3078
02:24:26,330 --> 02:24:24,120
in the dragon uh in the event that my

3079
02:24:27,950 --> 02:24:26,340
vision shifted enough that I would have

3080
02:24:29,690 --> 02:24:27,960
a hard time reading the display real

3081
02:24:30,770 --> 02:24:29,700
quick and show us what that look is I

3082
02:24:32,450 --> 02:24:30,780
think we're just trying to humiliate me

3083
02:24:33,770 --> 02:24:32,460
now now I can't see the screen though

3084
02:24:35,570 --> 02:24:33,780
the teleprompter so I'm going to take

3085
02:24:37,429 --> 02:24:35,580
them back out I can see up close really

3086
02:24:39,830 --> 02:24:37,439
well that's what it's meant for us is up

3087
02:24:41,450 --> 02:24:39,840
close vision and and the strap of course

3088
02:24:44,090 --> 02:24:41,460
to hold it on your face exactly this is

3089
02:24:46,070 --> 02:24:44,100
the space the space strap exactly well

3090
02:24:48,710 --> 02:24:46,080
space modified glasses but did you have

3091
02:24:50,630 --> 02:24:48,720
to use them uh so actually I used my my

3092
02:24:51,950 --> 02:24:50,640
near Vision did get worse but not bad

3093
02:24:53,570 --> 02:24:51,960
enough I couldn't see Dragon displays

3094
02:24:55,429 --> 02:24:53,580
but it would stress it would fatigue my

3095
02:24:57,889 --> 02:24:55,439
eyes using the laptops on stations so

3096
02:24:59,150 --> 02:24:57,899
for about the first from like I think

3097
02:25:00,650 --> 02:24:59,160
their first month I'd wear them and then

3098
02:25:02,330 --> 02:25:00,660
my eyes adjusted and I stopped wearing

3099
02:25:04,730 --> 02:25:02,340
them but for about a month I would just

3100
02:25:06,230 --> 02:25:04,740
to avoid eye fatigue and then once I got

3101
02:25:08,809 --> 02:25:06,240
back they they generally go back to

3102
02:25:10,490 --> 02:25:08,819
normal and well that's good and uh we

3103
02:25:12,590 --> 02:25:10,500
continue to work on finding out what we

3104
02:25:14,090 --> 02:25:12,600
do yeah what exactly the cause is uh

3105
02:25:15,650 --> 02:25:14,100
especially because we know that well

3106
02:25:17,030 --> 02:25:15,660
they generally go back to normal but

3107
02:25:18,349 --> 02:25:17,040
that's why we need more long-term data

3108
02:25:20,450 --> 02:25:18,359
because we don't know on a two-year

3109
02:25:21,650 --> 02:25:20,460
Mission to Mars like would it would it

3110
02:25:23,330 --> 02:25:21,660
go back to normal are we are we

3111
02:25:25,550 --> 02:25:23,340
confident what would happen there well

3112
02:25:27,950 --> 02:25:25,560
exactly that's good stuff thank you for

3113
02:25:29,450 --> 02:25:27,960
sharing the problem hopefully we'll have

3114
02:25:30,650 --> 02:25:29,460
to get to the third before that we have

3115
02:25:32,990 --> 02:25:30,660
to dig up some more stuff but we

3116
02:25:35,630 --> 02:25:33,000
appreciate your wife giving us a fresh

3117
02:25:36,830 --> 02:25:35,640
supply of stuff you took to space thank

3118
02:25:38,210 --> 02:25:36,840
you very much

3119
02:25:40,130 --> 02:25:38,220
well when they aren't launching into

3120
02:25:42,830 --> 02:25:40,140
space or working hard to prepare to go

3121
02:25:44,570 --> 02:25:42,840
into space the NASA astronaut core well

3122
02:25:47,510 --> 02:25:44,580
they try to find time to watch their

3123
02:25:50,210 --> 02:25:47,520
friends go into space and you would know

3124
02:25:52,790 --> 02:25:50,220
that yeah so even so I'm here but uh you

3125
02:25:54,290 --> 02:25:52,800

watching the launch um and we're yeah

3148
02:26:40,910 --> 02:26:39,359
you might have better ideas about what

3149
02:26:42,469 --> 02:26:40,920
they're doing uh I think you guys came

3150
02:26:43,910 --> 02:26:42,479
up with a game to kill some time while

3151
02:26:44,809 --> 02:26:43,920
you're waiting for the closeout crew to

3152
02:26:46,550 --> 02:26:44,819
leave

3153
02:26:48,290 --> 02:26:46,560
yeah well it's been it's been enough

3154
02:26:49,849 --> 02:26:48,300
time that you know when you first get in

3155
02:26:51,650 --> 02:26:49,859
of course you're all business and you go

3156
02:26:54,469 --> 02:26:51,660
through your checklist and you review

3157
02:26:56,030 --> 02:26:54,479
the nominal timeline and you you uh of

3158
02:26:57,710 --> 02:26:56,040
course review the contingency actions

3159
02:26:59,750 --> 02:26:57,720
that you might have to take but uh but

3160
02:27:01,670 --> 02:26:59,760
now you're into just the weight you're

3161
02:27:04,429 --> 02:27:01,680
just and uh you know I was lucky enough

3162
02:27:06,889 --> 02:27:04,439
to fly with a really fun and fun loving

3163
02:27:10,010 --> 02:27:06,899
crew and so um we just we said about

3164
02:27:11,570 --> 02:27:10,020
entertaining each other no we had Tomas

3165
02:27:14,030 --> 02:27:11,580
kind of our Julie the cruise director

3166
02:27:15,469 --> 02:27:14,040
and he had us playing a variety of

3167
02:27:16,849 --> 02:27:15,479
different games that I'm not sure if he

3168
02:27:18,349 --> 02:27:16,859
made them up or these are French games

3169
02:27:19,670 --> 02:27:18,359
or what but he he kept us well

3170
02:27:21,710 --> 02:27:19,680
entertained it looked like the French

3171
02:27:23,750 --> 02:27:21,720
version of rock paper scissors I'm not

3172
02:27:25,309 --> 02:27:23,760
sure if that's what it was but yeah so

3173
02:27:27,290 --> 02:27:25,319
it's called the game of thumbs and I

3174
02:27:29,450 --> 02:27:27,300
won't I won't um strain anybody by

3175
02:27:31,250 --> 02:27:29,460
trying to say that also say but uh the

3176
02:27:33,590 --> 02:27:31,260
game of thumbs and so yeah it's a little

3177
02:27:35,690 --> 02:27:33,600
bit like rock paper scissors well Megan

3178
02:27:38,690 --> 02:27:35,700

3182
02:27:47,630 --> 02:27:45,840
what's it like to to be where you are

3183
02:27:50,030 --> 02:27:47,640
kind of relaxing uh getting ready to

3184
02:27:52,429 --> 02:27:50,040
watch the astronauts go up

3185
02:27:54,950 --> 02:27:52,439
it's it's so exciting it's so much fun

3186
02:27:56,570 --> 02:27:54,960
to see your friends go into space

3187
02:27:59,210 --> 02:27:56,580
um of course Steve is a classmate of

3188
02:28:01,490 --> 02:27:59,220
mine and Woody uh was my family escort

3189
02:28:03,110 --> 02:28:01,500
actually he was with my family when I

3190
02:28:05,210 --> 02:28:03,120
was getting to launch in that in that

3191
02:28:06,830 --> 02:28:05,220
very same seat and so my son in

3192
02:28:08,450 --> 02:28:06,840
particular is very excited to get to

3193
02:28:10,250 --> 02:28:08,460
watch Woody launch so he's made me

3194
02:28:12,050 --> 02:28:10,260
promise I had to peel him away from the

3195
02:28:13,250 --> 02:28:12,060
screen to get him to go to bed

3196
02:28:14,990 --> 02:28:13,260
um with the promise that I would wake

3197
02:28:16,969 --> 02:28:15,000
him up in time to watch the launch so

3198
02:28:18,469 --> 02:28:16,979
we're excited for all four of the crew

3199
02:28:20,450 --> 02:28:18,479
members of crew six and we and we can't

3200
02:28:22,490 --> 02:28:20,460
wait to see them get started on this

3201
02:28:25,010 --> 02:28:22,500
next phase of their Adventure

02:28:27,650 --> 02:28:25,020
very cool that's awesome and you know

3203
02:28:30,050 --> 02:28:27,660
what uh we are counting down just one

3214
02:29:00,830 --> 02:28:59,520
yeah it was a test case yeah Megan was

3215
02:29:03,429 --> 02:29:00,840
nice enough to let me test out my hair

3216
02:29:06,070 --> 02:29:03,439
cutting skills on her son

3217
02:29:09,410 --> 02:29:06,080
he didn't tell me that

3218
02:29:11,510 --> 02:29:09,420
don't worry I I tried I I did on other

3219
02:29:12,950 --> 02:29:11,520
kids yeah what's the first

3220
02:29:13,849 --> 02:29:12,960
yeah you cut your hair in space remember

3221
02:29:14,929 --> 02:29:13,859
you

3222
02:29:16,190 --> 02:29:14,939
usually there's some kind of flowby

3223
02:29:17,870 --> 02:29:16,200
thing that you it's yeah it's basically

3224
02:29:19,910 --> 02:29:17,880
a floating yeah it's a very loud flobby

3225
02:29:23,030 --> 02:29:19,920
and Megan were you doing your hair in

3226
02:29:24,469 --> 02:29:23,040
space no oh no no no no I was just let

3227
02:29:26,030 --> 02:29:24,479
that grow up yeah just let it grow out

3228
02:29:28,070 --> 02:29:26,040
and I remember seeing the shot of you

3229
02:29:29,929 --> 02:29:28,080
just your hair just flowing freely and

3230
02:29:30,830 --> 02:29:29,939
uh it's a great shot of you floating

3231
02:29:32,809 --> 02:29:30,840
around

3232
02:29:34,670 --> 02:29:32,819
doing your business I also feel like my

3233
02:29:36,830 --> 02:29:34,680
hair deserves Its Own Credit you know in

3234
02:29:38,630 --> 02:29:36,840
the in the credit line like Megan and

3235
02:29:40,910 --> 02:29:38,640
Megan's hair because it's a whole entity

3236
02:29:42,170 --> 02:29:40,920

Megan we really appreciate you joining

3246
02:30:05,150 --> 02:30:02,819
us uh this evening watching the launch

3247
02:30:07,130 --> 02:30:05,160
from home uh thank you so much for being

3248
02:30:08,090 --> 02:30:07,140
on the broadcast with us thanks man I'll

3249
02:30:10,130 --> 02:30:08,100
see you back in Houston you're doing

3250
02:30:12,230 --> 02:30:10,140
awesome take care

3251
02:30:16,670 --> 02:30:12,240
all right Megan McArthur

3252
02:30:18,770 --> 02:30:16,680
crew two pilot uh and uh did a fantastic

3253
02:30:20,990 --> 02:30:18,780
job for us as a co-host

3254
02:30:23,870 --> 02:30:21,000
completed an amazing Mission she did a

3255
02:30:25,670 --> 02:30:23,880
ton of work working with kids uh

3256
02:30:28,490 --> 02:30:25,680
especially afterwards she's really

3257
02:30:31,490 --> 02:30:28,500
leading in effort in education

3258
02:30:32,750 --> 02:30:31,500
um great having her on the broadcast hey

3259
02:30:34,969 --> 02:30:32,760
take a look at the

3260
02:30:36,770 --> 02:30:34,979
look at the crew six's patch we want to

3261
02:30:39,590 --> 02:30:36,780
talk about how this came into existence

3262
02:30:43,309 --> 02:30:39,600
you know it's very unique each patch for

3263
02:30:45,710 --> 02:30:43,319
each Mission every flight has one and

3264
02:30:47,330 --> 02:30:45,720
it's designed by the crew so you can see

3265
02:30:48,650 --> 02:30:47,340
the one for crew six and what you'll

3266
02:30:50,450 --> 02:30:48,660
notice right away is the wooden dragon

3267
02:30:53,090 --> 02:30:50,460
ship with the dragon figurehead there

3268
02:30:55,010 --> 02:30:53,100
and that's because each crew six member

3269
02:30:56,690 --> 02:30:55,020
has an affinity for seafaring vessels

3270
02:30:58,309 --> 02:30:56,700
and then check out the anchor it's the

3271
02:31:00,830 --> 02:30:58,319
International Space Station

3272
02:31:02,570 --> 02:31:00,840
you see it there and then lastly the

3273
02:31:05,389 --> 02:31:02,580
sale represents the three planetary

3274
02:31:08,210 --> 02:31:05,399
bodies of Earth Moon and Mars the

3275
02:31:11,030 --> 02:31:08,220
ultimate destination of NASA's Artemis

3276
02:31:12,770 --> 02:31:11,040
program I like that call forward to

3277
02:31:14,990 --> 02:31:12,780
where we're going even though this is a

3278
02:31:16,309 --> 02:31:15,000
mission to low earth orbit yeah that's I

3279
02:31:17,570 --> 02:31:16,319
think that's a common theme in a lot of

3280
02:31:20,389 --> 02:31:17,580
the patches you'll see like a reference

3281
02:31:22,309 --> 02:31:20,399
to Moon Mars uh Orion some something

3282
02:31:24,349 --> 02:31:22,319
like that does businesses we definitely

3283
02:31:26,030 --> 02:31:24,359
see this as a stepping stone to to go

3284
02:31:27,410 --> 02:31:26,040
beyond low earth orbit I mean that's one

3285
02:31:28,969 --> 02:31:27,420
of the cool things about commercial crew

3286
02:31:30,770 --> 02:31:28,979
is we are putting Private Industry to

3287
02:31:32,389 --> 02:31:30,780
low earth orbit so that NASA can can

3288
02:31:34,130 --> 02:31:32,399
focus resources and people on

3289
02:31:36,410 --> 02:31:34,140
exploration and going Beyond low earth

3290
02:31:39,050 --> 02:31:36,420
orbit

3291
02:31:43,490 --> 02:31:39,060
that's right we're just one hour and 17

3292
02:31:45,410 --> 02:31:43,500
minutes until liftoff of crew six

3293
02:31:47,570 --> 02:31:45,420
hearing good things about the countdown

3294
02:31:49,550 --> 02:31:47,580
as we go along the way

3295
02:31:51,889 --> 02:31:49,560
the crew has ingressed helped by our

3296
02:31:53,630 --> 02:31:51,899
closeout team of course the umbilicals

3297
02:31:55,969 --> 02:31:53,640
are attached

3298
02:31:58,730 --> 02:31:55,979
they provide the breathing air and calms

3299
02:32:01,969 --> 02:31:58,740
to dragon and the astronauts

3300
02:32:04,190 --> 02:32:01,979
suit leak checks completed comms checks

3301
02:32:05,929 --> 02:32:04,200
completed with the core and the launch

3302
02:32:08,030 --> 02:32:05,939
director

3303
02:32:10,070 --> 02:32:08,040
after those suit League checks the

3304
02:32:11,330 --> 02:32:10,080
closeout team was able to close and seal

3305
02:32:14,150 --> 02:32:11,340
the hatch

3306
02:32:17,809 --> 02:32:14,160
which has its own leak Jack

3307
02:32:19,550 --> 02:32:17,819
they made sure to look for any fod that

3308
02:32:21,889 --> 02:32:19,560
might be there and fod stands for

3309
02:32:24,290 --> 02:32:21,899
foreign object debris

3310
02:32:26,210 --> 02:32:24,300
as we look in from the white room

3311
02:32:28,429 --> 02:32:26,220
the closeout team will wait another 15

3312
02:32:31,010 --> 02:32:28,439
minutes before they'll clear out of that

3313
02:32:35,090 --> 02:32:33,290
you saw those orange bags so there's no

3314
02:32:36,710 --> 02:32:35,100
the people are starting to move out of

3315
02:32:38,570 --> 02:32:36,720
there but you saw those orange packs in

3316
02:32:40,190 --> 02:32:38,580
that previous View just to the right on

3317
02:32:42,770 --> 02:32:40,200
that wall those are actually breathing

3318
02:32:44,750 --> 02:32:42,780
uh apparatus in case they have to

3319
02:32:46,250 --> 02:32:44,760
emergency egress that they can actually

3320
02:32:50,270 --> 02:32:46,260
hook into their suits and get breathing

3321
02:32:55,730 --> 02:32:52,010
so we understand that the closeout team

3322
02:32:57,469 --> 02:32:55,740
has actually Departed the pad

3323
02:32:59,929 --> 02:32:57,479
and now they're doing some final weather

3324
02:33:01,610 --> 02:32:59,939
checks

3325
02:33:04,790 --> 02:33:01,620
that'll be necessary before they give

3326
02:33:06,530 --> 02:33:04,800
that final go no go for launch

3327
02:33:08,030 --> 02:33:06,540
gonna put the balloons up into the air

3328
02:33:12,110 --> 02:33:08,040
the winds have picked up a little bit

3329
02:33:15,410 --> 02:33:14,270
yeah and a great example uh continuing

3330
02:33:17,210 --> 02:33:15,420
to run ahead of timeline and

3331
02:33:19,010 --> 02:33:17,220
specifically that closeout crew already

3332
02:33:20,870 --> 02:33:19,020
being done much earlier than last time

3333
02:33:22,370 --> 02:33:20,880
but again that's their you know you can

3334
02:33:23,750 --> 02:33:22,380
tell it's a well-oiled machine now they

3335
02:33:27,110 --> 02:33:23,760
have the practice from just doing this

3336
02:33:28,190 --> 02:33:27,120
uh two days ago and now uh doing it

3337
02:33:30,050 --> 02:33:28,200
again

3338
02:33:32,450 --> 02:33:30,060
um when I talked to Steve about you know

3339
02:33:33,770 --> 02:33:32,460
what they've been up to in between uh

3340
02:33:36,170 --> 02:33:33,780
talking about Commander Steve Commander

3341
02:33:36,950 --> 02:33:36,180
sivonia between uh now last attempt and

3342
02:33:38,510 --> 02:33:36,960
now

3343
02:33:40,910 --> 02:33:38,520
um his perspective is very similar what

3344
02:33:42,889 --> 02:33:40,920
we talked about uh the other night you

3345
02:33:44,809 --> 02:33:42,899
know basically another free training Sim

3346
02:33:46,550 --> 02:33:44,819
event and Steve

3347
02:33:49,070 --> 02:33:46,560
um actually like I mentioned before he

3348
02:33:52,429 --> 02:33:49,080
was the lead closeout person so he was

3349
02:33:55,730 --> 02:33:52,439
in that white room for sts-127 which had

3350
02:33:57,650 --> 02:33:55,740
six attempts uh and so he mentioned that

3351
02:33:59,630 --> 02:33:57,660
he act that the crew actually got sick

3352
02:34:01,670 --> 02:33:59,640
of seeing his face because he was always

3353
02:34:02,809 --> 02:34:01,680
the first person to open up the hatch on

3354
02:34:05,870 --> 02:34:02,819
the shuttle and they would see him

3355
02:34:07,730 --> 02:34:05,880
leading in but I think uh you know he

3356
02:34:10,070 --> 02:34:07,740
brought up uh similar what we talked

3357
02:34:12,770 --> 02:34:10,080
about I think everyone on the crew was

3358
02:34:15,050 --> 02:34:12,780
actually impressed by the fact that you

3359
02:34:16,370 --> 02:34:15,060
know no one had go fever no one down to

3360
02:34:17,389 --> 02:34:16,380
two minutes but no one was like oh we

3361
02:34:18,830 --> 02:34:17,399
should just go like like the

3362
02:34:20,270 --> 02:34:18,840
administrator said we go when we're

3363
02:34:23,090 --> 02:34:20,280
absolutely ready

3364
02:34:24,530 --> 02:34:23,100
um and uh you know we have an abort

3365
02:34:25,849 --> 02:34:24,540
system but you definitely launch Escape

3366
02:34:27,950 --> 02:34:25,859
system but you don't want to rely on

3367
02:34:30,110 --> 02:34:27,960
that uh you want to rely on making the

3368
02:34:32,030 --> 02:34:30,120
right engineering this decision

3369
02:34:33,830 --> 02:34:32,040
um and so he actually you know talked

3370
02:34:35,750 --> 02:34:33,840
about the fact that uh you know yes it's

3371
02:34:37,130 --> 02:34:35,760
the sixth operational career Mission but

3372
02:34:38,389 --> 02:34:37,140
every one of these missions is really a

3373
02:34:40,250 --> 02:34:38,399
test flight we're always learning new

3374
02:34:42,830 --> 02:34:40,260
things now we learned about uh you know

3375
02:34:44,510 --> 02:34:42,840
oxidation rates of t-tab right line

3376
02:34:46,610 --> 02:34:44,520
filters you know so you're always

3377
02:34:48,170 --> 02:34:46,620
learning something new we talked last

3378
02:34:49,550 --> 02:34:48,180
time about like even the the procedures

3379
02:34:52,250 --> 02:34:49,560
they're using so they're in a procedure

3380
02:34:53,690 --> 02:34:52,260
called 4.100 and just in the last launch

3381
02:34:55,090 --> 02:34:53,700
so now they've changed the section

3382
02:34:57,290 --> 02:34:55,100
numbers of that so we're always

3383
02:34:59,809 --> 02:34:57,300
iterating and improving and trying to

3384
02:35:00,950 --> 02:34:59,819
figure out ways to to do it better and

3385
02:35:02,570 --> 02:35:00,960
more efficiently like you mentioned

3386
02:35:05,270 --> 02:35:02,580
tonight we're doing things in parallel

3387
02:35:06,950 --> 02:35:05,280
which is why now we have some time so

3388
02:35:08,389 --> 02:35:06,960
um it seems like we're ahead but if we

3389
02:35:10,309 --> 02:35:08,399
had had a problem with the side hatch

3390
02:35:11,990 --> 02:35:10,319
closer or had had a problem with the

3391
02:35:14,510 --> 02:35:12,000
leak checks we this would all be time

3392
02:35:15,530 --> 02:35:14,520
that we could use now to to not be

3393
02:35:16,130 --> 02:35:15,540
rushed

3394
02:35:18,950 --> 02:35:16,140
um

3395
02:35:20,990 --> 02:35:18,960
so it's uh it's great to keep iterating

3396
02:35:22,730 --> 02:35:21,000
and practicing and learning

3397
02:35:25,670 --> 02:35:22,740
it's hard to imagine when you have a

3398
02:35:27,889 --> 02:35:25,680
launch scrubbed that so much can come

3399
02:35:31,070 --> 02:35:27,899
from it that's good talking about that

3400
02:35:32,929 --> 02:35:31,080
data we heard uh NASA's Dragon lead

3401
02:35:35,270 --> 02:35:32,939
engineer talk about how they've been

3402
02:35:37,730 --> 02:35:35,280
pouring over the data we've had a dry

3403
02:35:40,130 --> 02:35:37,740
dress essentially a wet dress in the

3404
02:35:42,349 --> 02:35:40,140
first launch attempt and uh as you

3405
02:35:43,910 --> 02:35:42,359
mentioned always iterating and always

3406
02:35:45,950 --> 02:35:43,920
learning

3407
02:35:47,990 --> 02:35:45,960
all right we want to check in now with

3408
02:35:50,210 --> 02:35:48,000
our friends in Houston Texas and the

3409
02:35:54,469 --> 02:35:50,220
Johnson Space Center Courtney Beasley is

3410
02:35:58,490 --> 02:35:56,570
thanks Daryl the team here in Mission

3411
02:36:00,469 --> 02:35:58,500
Control Houston has pulled that they are

3412
02:36:03,050 --> 02:36:00,479
go for launch the International Space

3413
02:36:05,150 --> 02:36:03,060
Station is ready for crew six astronauts

3414
02:36:07,130 --> 02:36:05,160
to lift off when Flight director Judd

3415
02:36:08,809 --> 02:36:07,140
frieling pulled his team he was asking

3416
02:36:10,910 --> 02:36:08,819
the flight controllers who work on all

3417
02:36:12,950 --> 02:36:10,920
of the Key Systems on board the station

3418
02:36:14,870 --> 02:36:12,960
if their focus areas were online and

3419
02:36:16,670 --> 02:36:14,880
working properly this includes life

3420
02:36:18,950 --> 02:36:16,680
support systems proper Communications

3421
02:36:21,469 --> 02:36:18,960
links computers that allow us to command

3422
02:36:23,450 --> 02:36:21,479
the station's onboard subsystems and our

3423
02:36:25,490 --> 02:36:23,460
ability to control and maneuver the

3424
02:36:28,070 --> 02:36:25,500
space station are all fully functional

3425
02:36:29,570 --> 02:36:28,080
the crew in orbit is currently in a

3426
02:36:32,030 --> 02:36:29,580
sleep period and they are scheduled to

3427
02:36:33,290 --> 02:36:32,040
wake up at midnight Central Time the

3428
02:36:35,630 --> 02:36:33,300
International Space Station flight

3429
02:36:37,429 --> 02:36:35,640
control team is ready for launch mission

3430
02:36:39,469 --> 02:36:37,439
control Houston will continue monitoring

3431
02:36:41,510 --> 02:36:39,479
the mission as we check off milestones

3432
02:36:43,370 --> 02:36:41,520
for today's flight in the meantime I'll

3433
02:36:46,670 --> 02:36:43,380
send it back out to the team at Kennedy

3434
02:36:51,710 --> 02:36:49,309
all right a beautiful shot from uh high

3435
02:36:54,530 --> 02:36:51,720
above the Kennedy Space Center going by

3436
02:36:57,290 --> 02:36:54,540
the VAB as we look out at launch complex

3437
02:36:59,450 --> 02:36:57,300
39a during the previous launch attempt

3438
02:37:01,370 --> 02:36:59,460
want to recall this Roger told us that

3439
02:37:03,530 --> 02:37:01,380
dragonflies during dry dress is a good

3440
02:37:06,170 --> 02:37:03,540
luck charm well after the scrub

3441
02:37:07,910 --> 02:37:06,180
I was watching the starlink launch what

3442
02:37:08,990 --> 02:37:07,920
do you see there looks like some looks

3443
02:37:11,090 --> 02:37:09,000
like an insects flying by maybe

3444
02:37:12,889 --> 02:37:11,100
dragonflies yeah I can't tell if there

3445
02:37:14,570 --> 02:37:12,899
are insects on the screen or there you

3446
02:37:16,010 --> 02:37:14,580
go there's a buzz boy they were they

3447
02:37:17,870 --> 02:37:16,020
were buzzing my phone I thought it'd be

3448
02:37:19,790 --> 02:37:17,880
a good idea to put some dragonflies in

3449
02:37:20,990 --> 02:37:19,800
the show Good Luck I like it yeah

3450
02:37:23,150 --> 02:37:21,000
is that going to bring us some good luck

3451
02:37:25,730 --> 02:37:23,160
I sure hope so

3452
02:37:27,830 --> 02:37:25,740
well let's hope so indeed one hour and

3453
02:37:30,290 --> 02:37:27,840
11 minutes uh counting until liftoff

3454
02:37:31,910 --> 02:37:30,300
let's check back in with Jasmine Hopkins

3455
02:37:34,250 --> 02:37:31,920
who has a special guest

3456
02:37:36,410 --> 02:37:34,260
thank you so much Daryl joining us now

3457
02:37:37,550 --> 02:37:36,420
is Kennedy's Space Center Director Janet

3458
02:37:39,410 --> 02:37:37,560
Petro thanks so much for being here

3459
02:37:41,510 --> 02:37:39,420
Janet thank you Jasmine for having me

3460
02:37:43,070 --> 02:37:41,520
we're always happy to have you and you

3461
02:37:44,990 --> 02:37:43,080
know right now we're preparing for take

3462
02:37:46,370 --> 02:37:45,000
two second launch attempt of cruise six

3463
02:37:48,290 --> 02:37:46,380
but this is something that the Kennedy

3464
02:37:49,969 --> 02:37:48,300
Workforce is built for really I mean

3465
02:37:53,210 --> 02:37:49,979
we're very agile can you speak to that

3466
02:37:54,410 --> 02:37:53,220
yeah sure so uh you know last year 60th

3467
02:37:57,290 --> 02:37:54,420
anniversary went through this with

3468
02:37:58,490 --> 02:37:57,300
Artemis not just uh uh two times but we

3469
02:38:00,590 --> 02:37:58,500
did it three times successfully

3470
02:38:03,290 --> 02:38:00,600
launching the third time on November I'm

3471
02:38:05,690 --> 02:38:03,300
16. so launch is hard the whole process

3472
02:38:07,309 --> 02:38:05,700
and we got to get it right you know they

3473
02:38:09,830 --> 02:38:07,319
say you know you'd rather fix a problem

3474
02:38:12,469 --> 02:38:09,840
on the ground than launch and then have

3475
02:38:14,450 --> 02:38:12,479
a problem in the air so the team you

3476
02:38:16,309 --> 02:38:14,460
know the NASA team along with the SpaceX

3477
02:38:18,889 --> 02:38:16,319
team has worked really hard we had our

3478
02:38:20,750 --> 02:38:18,899
Delta launch Readiness review late

3479
02:38:22,190 --> 02:38:20,760
yesterday evening work through the

3480
02:38:23,510 --> 02:38:22,200
issues that we experienced on the first

3481
02:38:25,190 --> 02:38:23,520
one and we're ready to go tonight

3482
02:38:26,270 --> 02:38:25,200
Jasmine that is what we want to hear

3483
02:38:28,010 --> 02:38:26,280
it's good to hear that we are looking

3484
02:38:29,990 --> 02:38:28,020
good for a launch tonight Jen and you

3485
02:38:32,270 --> 02:38:30,000
just mentioned that 60th anniversary was

3486
02:38:33,530 --> 02:38:32,280
our diamond anniversary last year year

3487
02:38:35,570 --> 02:38:33,540
to think that we've been here six

3488
02:38:38,030 --> 02:38:35,580
decades what is Kennedy doing to

3489
02:38:39,590 --> 02:38:38,040
continue growing and improving so the

3490
02:38:42,050 --> 02:38:39,600
first 60 years you know it started

3491
02:38:44,030 --> 02:38:42,060
Kennedy was with Apollo and then diamond

3492
02:38:45,650 --> 02:38:44,040
anniversary last year Artemis first

3493
02:38:47,870 --> 02:38:45,660
launch of Artemis going back to the moon

3494
02:38:50,110 --> 02:38:47,880
but you know as a Spaceport we really

3495
02:38:52,790 --> 02:38:50,120
have come into our own we've really

3496
02:38:56,929 --> 02:38:52,800
brought a lot of the commercial industry

3497
02:39:00,170 --> 02:38:56,939
here to launch 97 94 Launches on the

3498
02:39:01,790 --> 02:39:00,180
Manifest this year we had 57 last year

3499
02:39:03,950 --> 02:39:01,800
like you mentioned 31 the year before

3500
02:39:05,990 --> 02:39:03,960
that so we are growing we obviously are

3501
02:39:08,210 --> 02:39:06,000
a very popular place not just because of

3502
02:39:10,309 --> 02:39:08,220
the geography but the services that

3503
02:39:12,590 --> 02:39:10,319
we're providing at the center to our

3504
02:39:14,929 --> 02:39:12,600
commercial partners and customers we're

3505
02:39:16,550 --> 02:39:14,939
working very hard to make it easy for

3506
02:39:18,050 --> 02:39:16,560
them to launch and to provide them the

3507
02:39:20,510 --> 02:39:18,060
best services and I got to brag for a

3508
02:39:24,590 --> 02:39:20,520
moment we have a Spaceport integration

3509
02:39:27,410 --> 02:39:24,600
team they coordinate with the 45th sld

3510
02:39:30,050 --> 02:39:27,420
the space force side every single one of

3511
02:39:33,290 --> 02:39:30,060
those 90 plus launches will be supported

3512
02:39:34,849 --> 02:39:33,300
by our Kennedy um team as well as the

3513
02:39:37,010 --> 02:39:34,859
space force side we work jointly

3514
02:39:39,410 --> 02:39:37,020
together in Partnership to ensure that

3515
02:39:43,070 --> 02:39:39,420
all of those launches are successful and

3516
02:39:45,349 --> 02:39:43,080
of that 90 plus 70 79 are commercial so

3517
02:39:47,990 --> 02:39:45,359
a large large number percentage of that

3518
02:39:49,910 --> 02:39:48,000
is a commercial launches and so across

3519
02:39:51,770 --> 02:39:49,920
the board we have our NASA we have our

3520
02:39:53,570 --> 02:39:51,780
government we have our national space

3521
02:39:54,950 --> 02:39:53,580
security missions we support but we also

3522
02:39:56,750 --> 02:39:54,960
have the commercial that we have to take

3523
02:39:58,490 --> 02:39:56,760
care of also right Janet I mean those

3524
02:39:59,870 --> 02:39:58,500
numbers just really blew me away thank

3525
02:40:01,730 --> 02:39:59,880
you so much for being here tonight thank

3526
02:40:03,950 --> 02:40:01,740
you Jasmine of course always happy to

3527
02:40:06,770 --> 02:40:03,960
have you go Cruise six exactly Go Crew

3528
02:40:08,809 --> 02:40:06,780
fix Daryl back to you thank you Jasmine

3529
02:40:11,330 --> 02:40:08,819
and Janet throughout the show we've been

3530
02:40:13,910 --> 02:40:11,340
taking your hashtag ask NASA questions

3531
02:40:16,370 --> 02:40:13,920
from social media we have time for a few

3532
02:40:18,889 --> 02:40:16,380
more before Falcon 9 fueling begins at T

3533
02:40:21,710 --> 02:40:18,899
minus 35 minutes we're sitting now at

3534
02:40:23,389 --> 02:40:21,720
108 and Counting and Raja there's the

3535
02:40:24,770 --> 02:40:23,399
question it seems like astronauts work

3536
02:40:26,990 --> 02:40:24,780
on some really cool and interesting

3537
02:40:28,190 --> 02:40:27,000
things other than flying Roger can you

3538
02:40:30,590 --> 02:40:28,200
take a minute and talk about something

3539
02:40:32,690 --> 02:40:30,600
interesting that you're working on right

3540
02:40:34,750 --> 02:40:32,700
now you're not flying currently on a

3541
02:40:37,849 --> 02:40:34,760
mission obviously because you're here

3542
02:40:39,469 --> 02:40:37,859
yeah so I'd say most of our time is not

3543
02:40:41,030 --> 02:40:39,479
actually flying in space so we do

3544
02:40:43,490 --> 02:40:41,040
maintain the training for that whether

3545
02:40:45,950 --> 02:40:43,500
it's NBL which is the neutral buoyancy

3546
02:40:47,750 --> 02:40:45,960
lab and so doing uh practice space walks

3547
02:40:50,570 --> 02:40:47,760
in there uh whether it's working on the

3548
02:40:52,190 --> 02:40:50,580
ISS systems working on different

3549
02:40:54,469 --> 02:40:52,200
experiments getting smart on geology

3550
02:40:56,150 --> 02:40:54,479
biology but we also all work on

3551
02:40:57,710 --> 02:40:56,160
different projects in the office on the

3552
02:40:59,210 --> 02:40:57,720
engineering and development program so

3553
02:41:01,190 --> 02:40:59,220
specifically there's a whole lot of work

3554
02:41:02,510 --> 02:41:01,200
going on in Artemis right now the

3555
02:41:05,090 --> 02:41:02,520
administrator talked about Artemis that

3556
02:41:06,830 --> 02:41:05,100
is that is the goal of the agency to get

3557
02:41:09,050 --> 02:41:06,840
us back to the Moon to stay and go on to

3558
02:41:10,849 --> 02:41:09,060
Mars so there's the SLS which is the

3559
02:41:13,010 --> 02:41:10,859
rocket there's the Orion which is the

3560
02:41:14,750 --> 02:41:13,020
capsule there's the Gateway which is in

3561
02:41:16,670 --> 02:41:14,760
their space station and then there's the

3562
02:41:18,530 --> 02:41:16,680
hls the human Landing system which is

3563
02:41:20,389 --> 02:41:18,540
the Lander so that's my particular job

3564
02:41:22,910 --> 02:41:20,399
right now is helping with lunar lander

3565
02:41:25,309 --> 02:41:22,920
development and testing and so I I love

3566
02:41:27,050 --> 02:41:25,319
my job I love I love to fly his face but

3567
02:41:29,150 --> 02:41:27,060
I also love my my day job and so that's

3568
02:41:30,950 --> 02:41:29,160
uh you know we're doing all different

3569
02:41:32,570 --> 02:41:30,960
kinds of things there's uh folks working

3570
02:41:34,309 --> 02:41:32,580
on the lunar exploration suits so those

3571
02:41:35,750 --> 02:41:34,319
are the spacesuits for the surface so we

3572
02:41:37,429 --> 02:41:35,760
we're not going to use you know we

3573
02:41:39,590 --> 02:41:37,439
talked about there's IV suits which are

3574
02:41:40,550 --> 02:41:39,600
for in the vehicle there's Eva suits

3575
02:41:42,530 --> 02:41:40,560
which is what we use on the stage

3576
02:41:44,330 --> 02:41:42,540
station and we are working on lunar

3577
02:41:46,250 --> 02:41:44,340
suits because those are that's different

3578
02:41:47,750 --> 02:41:46,260
than either of the ones we have and so

3579
02:41:49,670 --> 02:41:47,760
if we get to the moon we're going there

3580
02:41:51,050 --> 02:41:49,680
to do science and so we need to get out

3581
02:41:52,910 --> 02:41:51,060
there and go do the science so that's

3582
02:41:53,870 --> 02:41:52,920
another big project that people are

3583
02:41:56,270 --> 02:41:53,880
working on

3584
02:41:58,670 --> 02:41:56,280
um and yeah so it's uh we're spread all

3585
02:42:00,590 --> 02:41:58,680
over the place uh training and working

3586
02:42:03,110 --> 02:42:00,600
with all these development teams yeah

3587
02:42:05,330 --> 02:42:03,120
and it seems like there's a similarity

3588
02:42:06,710 --> 02:42:05,340
there to when you know Bob and Doug were

3589
02:42:08,690 --> 02:42:06,720
working in the commercial crew program

3590
02:42:11,389 --> 02:42:08,700
early on developing these vehicles

3591
02:42:14,210 --> 02:42:11,399
you're very early on in the hls system

3592
02:42:15,710 --> 02:42:14,220
so you know it's uh it's got to be kind

3593
02:42:16,790 --> 02:42:15,720
of exciting to be working on the next

3594
02:42:18,110 --> 02:42:16,800
thing that's going to land on the moon

3595
02:42:19,849 --> 02:42:18,120
yeah I think all of us enjoy that's why

3596
02:42:22,130 --> 02:42:19,859
it's fun to do these things you know and

3597
02:42:23,870 --> 02:42:22,140
our job is is in the office is to fly in

3598
02:42:25,370 --> 02:42:23,880
space but also to bring the crew's

3599
02:42:28,910 --> 02:42:25,380
perspective the operational perspective

3600
02:42:30,830 --> 02:42:28,920
to all these programs and to to these

3601
02:42:32,570 --> 02:42:30,840
efforts to make sure that we're you know

3602
02:42:34,550 --> 02:42:32,580
the the human is the important part of

3603
02:42:35,990 --> 02:42:34,560
human space flight and so keeping that

3604
02:42:37,370 --> 02:42:36,000
in mind and keeping that at the

3605
02:42:38,990 --> 02:42:37,380
Forefront is always really important and

3606
02:42:40,969 --> 02:42:39,000
that's why it's important to have us

3607
02:42:42,830 --> 02:42:40,979
tied into those programs and for those

3608
02:42:44,809 --> 02:42:42,840
of us uh for those of you who are

3609
02:42:47,450 --> 02:42:44,819
watching and for those of us who are

3610
02:42:49,849 --> 02:42:47,460
enjoying watching if you want in on the

slash social

3615
02:43:04,190 --> 02:43:00,420
hey this is a really quick question a

3616
02:43:06,410 --> 02:43:04,200
really easy one at slow asks Raja what

3617
02:43:08,990 --> 02:43:06,420
inspires you what inspires me I think

3618
02:43:11,450 --> 02:43:09,000
the idea of exploring is what inspires

3619
02:43:13,010 --> 02:43:11,460
me the dived of new discoveries and I

3620
02:43:14,690 --> 02:43:13,020
think I kind of alluded to why I'm so

3621
02:43:16,370 --> 02:43:14,700
excited about science before solving

3622
02:43:18,770 --> 02:43:16,380
problems here on Earth so I'd I would

3623
02:43:20,630 --> 02:43:18,780
love to see Humanity go and explore like

3624
02:43:22,550 --> 02:43:20,640
live on the moon go to the next planet

3625
02:43:24,290 --> 02:43:22,560
but I also am inspired by the fact that

3626
02:43:25,730 --> 02:43:24,300
we're we're finding solutions for

3627
02:43:27,410 --> 02:43:25,740
problems here on Earth right now so

3628
02:43:29,690 --> 02:43:27,420
that's uh that's what inspires me to

3629
02:43:33,290 --> 02:43:29,700
work here and it must be rewarding as

3630
02:43:35,090 --> 02:43:33,300
well it's amazing yeah I so I think what

3631
02:43:37,130 --> 02:43:35,100
inspires me is inspiring others too so I

3632
02:43:39,650 --> 02:43:37,140
think one of the coolest parts of our

3633
02:43:41,750 --> 02:43:39,660
jobs it takes time and effort because

3634
02:43:44,090 --> 02:43:41,760
it's your traveling but going to talk to

3635
02:43:46,429 --> 02:43:44,100
like school kids that's

3636
02:43:49,190 --> 02:43:46,439
hands down one of my the most my most

3637
02:43:51,290 --> 02:43:49,200
favorite things to go do and just yeah

3638
02:43:51,889 --> 02:43:51,300
and seeing their excitement

3639
02:43:54,469 --> 02:43:51,899
um

3640
02:43:57,349 --> 02:43:54,479
just when an astronaut walks in the door

3641
02:43:59,210 --> 02:43:57,359
it's just so fun you know and um you

3642
02:44:01,670 --> 02:43:59,220
know whether it's Elementary answering

3643
02:44:02,650 --> 02:44:01,680
bathroom questions because I've heard

3644
02:44:04,969 --> 02:44:02,660
plenty

3645
02:44:07,010 --> 02:44:04,979
all the way to you know talking to

3646
02:44:08,389 --> 02:44:07,020
University students uh or who have

3647
02:44:10,190 --> 02:44:08,399
questions like you know how like where

3648
02:44:12,590 --> 02:44:10,200
do I go and like what kind of degrees

3649
02:44:13,670 --> 02:44:12,600
and you know so it's it is uh is really

3650
02:44:17,690 --> 02:44:13,680
cool

3651
02:44:19,610 --> 02:44:17,700
um and it inspires me to be even a

3652
02:44:22,490 --> 02:44:19,620
potential inspiration or to potentially

3653
02:44:23,570 --> 02:44:22,500
help or set a spark maybe in someone's

3654
02:44:26,510 --> 02:44:23,580
mind or give them the idea of what's

3655
02:44:28,490 --> 02:44:26,520
possible deep curiosity as well we are

3656
02:44:29,990 --> 02:44:28,500
one hour in four minutes and Counting

3657
02:44:32,270 --> 02:44:30,000
until liftoff

3658
02:44:34,429 --> 02:44:32,280
this day is the continuation of regular

3659
02:44:35,990 --> 02:44:34,439
flights to the space station from U.S

3660
02:44:38,690 --> 02:44:36,000
soil

3661
02:44:41,809 --> 02:44:38,700
crew six and the mission will be the

3662
02:44:44,090 --> 02:44:41,819
company's sixth crude space flight

3663
02:44:45,650 --> 02:44:44,100
this is for of course SpaceX

3664
02:44:47,690 --> 02:44:45,660
and NASA

3665
02:44:50,270 --> 02:44:47,700
following the crude test flight demo two

3666
02:44:52,730 --> 02:44:50,280
and four previous operational crude

3667
02:44:55,010 --> 02:44:52,740
missions to the space station

3668
02:44:57,710 --> 02:44:55,020
it will also be spacex's eighth crude

3669
02:45:00,710 --> 02:44:57,720
space flight overall including the

3670
02:45:03,349 --> 02:45:00,720
private orbital Mission inspiration 4.

3671
02:45:05,630 --> 02:45:03,359
today our crew is flying on board Dragon

3672
02:45:07,309 --> 02:45:05,640
Endeavor and this will be the fourth

3673
02:45:09,290 --> 02:45:07,319
flight for this capsule

3674
02:45:11,690 --> 02:45:09,300
it'll be taking a ride on a brand new

3675
02:45:13,849 --> 02:45:11,700
Falcon 9 rocket

3676
02:45:16,490 --> 02:45:13,859
the dragon is the flight this particular

3677
02:45:17,570 --> 02:45:16,500
Dragon Endeavors the flight leader in

3678
02:45:19,670 --> 02:45:17,580
the fleet

3679
02:45:24,349 --> 02:45:19,680
it's Fourth flight

3680
02:45:26,270 --> 02:45:24,359
which includes demo 2 Axiom one

3681
02:45:27,590 --> 02:45:26,280
it's been a great countdown so far one

3682
02:45:30,950 --> 02:45:27,600
hour and three minutes and Counting

3683
02:45:33,050 --> 02:45:30,960
weather is fantastic here at the Kennedy

3684
02:45:37,010 --> 02:45:33,060
Space Center only a five percent chance

3685
02:45:38,990 --> 02:45:37,020
of violation that means 95 percent go

3686
02:45:40,969 --> 02:45:39,000
doing some math here getting inspired by

3687
02:45:42,650 --> 02:45:40,979
my fellow astronaut here really advanced

3688
02:45:44,929 --> 02:45:42,660
stuff avoid math in public that's my

3689
02:45:46,610 --> 02:45:44,939
rule that's a good idea

3690
02:45:51,590 --> 02:45:46,620
excitement is picking up though as we

3691
02:45:55,250 --> 02:45:53,870
and so with roughly about an hour sorry

3692
02:45:58,130 --> 02:45:55,260
no go ahead

3693
02:46:00,110 --> 02:45:58,140
about an hour to go until liftoff things

3694
02:46:03,050 --> 02:46:00,120
are going to start picking up

3695
02:46:05,210 --> 02:46:03,060
we get close to the go no go Pole to arm

3696
02:46:06,889 --> 02:46:05,220
the launch Escape system and begin the

3697
02:46:08,990 --> 02:46:06,899
propellant loading

3698
02:46:11,750 --> 02:46:09,000
the crew Poll for Readiness that will

3699
02:46:14,150 --> 02:46:11,760
happen right at T minus 60 minutes and

3700
02:46:16,010 --> 02:46:14,160
then the dragon pole for prop load is at

3701
02:46:18,889 --> 02:46:16,020
T minus 55 minutes

3702
02:46:20,630 --> 02:46:18,899
from there at T minus 45 minutes there

3703
02:46:22,849 --> 02:46:20,640
will be an internal Mission Control

3704
02:46:24,830 --> 02:46:22,859
Hawthorne pole and then the launch

3705
02:46:26,090 --> 02:46:24,840
director's Poll for propellant loading

3706
02:46:28,010 --> 02:46:26,100
will follow

3707
02:46:30,830 --> 02:46:28,020
when we get to about T minus 40 minutes

3708
02:46:32,630 --> 02:46:30,840
the crew access arm will retract and the

3709
02:46:34,849 --> 02:46:32,640
crew will get the call to close their

3710
02:46:36,469 --> 02:46:34,859
visors and to arm the launch Escape

3711
02:46:37,610 --> 02:46:36,479
system we're going to walk you all the

3712
02:46:39,410 --> 02:46:37,620
way through it

3713
02:46:41,450 --> 02:46:39,420
this is the automated safety system

3714
02:46:43,910 --> 02:46:41,460
that's in place that can fire the eight

3715
02:46:45,410 --> 02:46:43,920
super Draco thrusters on Dragon to

3716
02:46:47,809 --> 02:46:45,420
quickly separate the crew from the

3717
02:46:50,570 --> 02:46:47,819
rocket either on the pad or during a

3718
02:46:52,429 --> 02:46:50,580
flight on the ride uphill and then once

3719
02:46:55,490 --> 02:46:52,439
we reach about T minus 35 minutes

3720
02:47:40,610 --> 02:46:55,500
propellant loading for the Falcon 9

3721
02:47:44,450 --> 02:47:42,650
thanks for tuning in you're watching

3722
02:47:47,270 --> 02:47:44,460
live launch coverage of NASA and

3723
02:47:49,670 --> 02:47:47,280
spacex's sixth rotational flight of

3724
02:47:51,410 --> 02:47:49,680
astronauts and one Cosmonaut to the

3725
02:47:54,110 --> 02:47:51,420
International Space Station we are

3726
02:47:56,570 --> 02:47:54,120
T-minus one hour and Counting until

3727
02:47:59,389 --> 02:47:56,580
liftoff and with us today is NASA

3728
02:48:00,830 --> 02:47:59,399
astronaut Raja Chari Raja thanks for

3729
02:48:03,349 --> 02:48:00,840
coming back yeah glad to be back hoping

3730
02:48:04,309 --> 02:48:03,359
to see my first launch indeed and if you

3731
02:48:06,469 --> 02:48:04,319
didn't know

3732
02:48:09,110 --> 02:48:06,479
Raja is getting ready to witness his

3733
02:48:10,670 --> 02:48:09,120
first launch he rode on a rocket as we

3734
02:48:13,130 --> 02:48:10,680
turn the corner from the Vehicle

3735
02:48:14,990 --> 02:48:13,140
Assembly Building to show off the launch

3736
02:48:15,830 --> 02:48:15,000
pad just beyond it oh this is a great

3737
02:48:17,870 --> 02:48:15,840
shot

3738
02:48:20,330 --> 02:48:17,880
with the big reveal look at that it

3739
02:48:24,290 --> 02:48:20,340
certainly is cool there it is the launch

3740
02:48:28,849 --> 02:48:24,300
complex 39a holding for a 12 34 a.m

3741
02:48:33,170 --> 02:48:30,889
and so right now the crew is uh going

3742
02:48:34,670 --> 02:48:33,180
through kind of mentally uh you know

3743
02:48:36,550 --> 02:48:34,680
probably looking at forward to the

3744
02:48:39,170 --> 02:48:36,560
proper timeline

3745
02:48:47,450 --> 02:48:39,180
isolation valves to equalize low flow

3746
02:48:51,110 --> 02:48:49,250
quickly explain what that is so give

3747
02:48:52,190 --> 02:48:51,120
them that call so uh a lot of times

3748
02:48:54,050 --> 02:48:52,200
whenever they're going to do something

3749
02:48:55,670 --> 02:48:54,060
with any prop loading or valves they'll

3750
02:48:57,590 --> 02:48:55,680
give the crew a heads up so if they hear

3751
02:48:59,270 --> 02:48:57,600
the sound or feel the vibration that

3752
02:49:00,889 --> 02:48:59,280
they know that that's planned so they

3753
02:49:01,849 --> 02:49:00,899
usually give them a call prior you

3754
02:49:03,530 --> 02:49:01,859
mentioned that it's about to get a lot

3755
02:49:05,570 --> 02:49:03,540
busier on the loops as they start going

3756
02:49:07,670 --> 02:49:05,580
through some go no-go polls and talking

3757
02:49:09,230 --> 02:49:07,680
to the crew and so they are looking

3758
02:49:10,730 --> 02:49:09,240
ahead in What's called the event details

3759
02:49:12,410 --> 02:49:10,740
and they have probably two displays up

3760
02:49:15,349 --> 02:49:12,420
one that's event details one that's in

3761
02:49:17,450 --> 02:49:15,359
procedure 4.100 they're sitting in 4.100

3762
02:49:19,130 --> 02:49:17,460
waiting for the poll to say that they

3763
02:49:20,929 --> 02:49:19,140
can arm the Les the launch Escape system

3764
02:49:23,030 --> 02:49:20,939
and on the timeline they're probably

3765
02:49:25,070 --> 02:49:23,040
looking at what the prop loading steps

3766
02:49:26,990 --> 02:49:25,080
are and just kind of anticipating what's

3767
02:49:28,610 --> 02:49:27,000
coming up next probably scrolling ahead

3768
02:49:29,990 --> 02:49:28,620
to kind of talk through the launch

3769
02:49:32,929 --> 02:49:30,000
sequence and using this time to

3770
02:49:36,290 --> 02:49:32,939
basically what we call chair fly uh talk

3771
02:49:42,050 --> 02:49:36,300
through SpaceX your go for Section Five

3772
02:49:50,809 --> 02:49:44,270
all right picking up sections five

3773
02:49:54,710 --> 02:49:52,130
all right

3774
02:49:56,570 --> 02:49:54,720
great insight into what's happening in

3775
02:49:59,090 --> 02:49:56,580
crew Dragon right now but we want to

3776
02:50:01,910 --> 02:49:59,100
recap the last three hours our crew of

3777
02:50:04,610 --> 02:50:01,920
Stephen Bowen Woody hoberg Sultan

3778
02:50:06,650 --> 02:50:04,620
olneyadi and Andre fediev have been

3779
02:50:09,410 --> 02:50:06,660
getting ready to launch into space after

3780
02:50:11,330 --> 02:50:09,420
waking up and having a meal SpaceX help

3781
02:50:13,730 --> 02:50:11,340
the astronauts into their suits and then

3782
02:50:16,610 --> 02:50:13,740
you see them here walking out the

3783
02:50:19,250 --> 02:50:16,620
historic crew quarters

3784
02:50:21,889 --> 02:50:19,260
walking the same path that every NASA

3785
02:50:23,630 --> 02:50:21,899
astronaut has done since Apollo 7 waving

3786
02:50:25,130 --> 02:50:23,640
to family and loved ones as well as to

3787
02:50:27,349 --> 02:50:25,140
the cameras there to document their

3788
02:50:30,170 --> 02:50:27,359
Journey then you see them here inside

3789
02:50:32,090 --> 02:50:30,180
their Teslas joined in a caravan as they

3790
02:50:34,010 --> 02:50:32,100
went down the road led by Center

3791
02:50:35,809 --> 02:50:34,020
security

3792
02:50:39,469 --> 02:50:35,819
until they arrive here at launch complex

3793
02:50:41,270 --> 02:50:39,479
39a they did the rocket recline went up

3794
02:50:44,210 --> 02:50:41,280
the tower and walked down the crew

3795
02:50:48,230 --> 02:50:44,220
access arm here Woody hoberg and Stephen

3796
02:50:51,050 --> 02:50:48,240
Bowen crawling into crew dragon

3797
02:50:53,870 --> 02:50:51,060
and then once inside

3798
02:50:56,690 --> 02:50:53,880
they got strapped in got their suits

3799
02:50:58,849 --> 02:50:56,700
checked com checks

3800
02:51:01,849 --> 02:50:58,859
and now we watch

3801
02:51:03,770 --> 02:51:01,859
as the dragon spacecraft sits on top of

3802
02:51:06,889 --> 02:51:03,780
the Falcon 9 rocket

3803
02:51:09,469 --> 02:51:06,899
getting ready for fueling and arming of

3804
02:51:11,210 --> 02:51:09,479
the launch Escape system

3805
02:51:12,410 --> 02:51:11,220
at this time we are expanding our

3806
02:51:15,170 --> 02:51:12,420
coverage and would like to welcome

3807
02:51:17,090 --> 02:51:15,180
SpaceX and NASA commentators who are

3808
02:51:20,210 --> 02:51:17,100
joining us live from Hawthorne

3809
02:51:22,670 --> 02:51:20,220
California welcome to you both

3810
02:51:24,770 --> 02:51:22,680
hey thank you so much Daryl and hello to

Gary Jordan with NASA's Communications

3813
02:51:31,250 --> 02:51:28,620
and I'm Jesse Anderson a production and

3814
02:51:33,530 --> 02:51:31,260
engineering manager here at

3815
02:51:35,090 --> 02:51:33,540
I are joining you today from our

3816
02:51:38,210 --> 02:51:35,100
headquarters in Hawthorne California

3817
02:51:39,889 --> 02:51:38,220
while Cruise 6 marks spacex's sixth

3818
02:51:41,510 --> 02:51:39,899
operational mission for NASA it's

3819
02:51:42,950 --> 02:51:41,520
actually our eighth human space flight

3820
02:51:45,590 --> 02:51:42,960
mission to the International Space

3821
02:51:47,750 --> 02:51:45,600
Station and overall 34th dragon mission

3822
02:51:49,309 --> 02:51:47,760
to the orbiting laboratory and the

3823
02:51:51,110 --> 02:51:49,319
dragon supporting tonight's Mission will

3824
02:51:53,330 --> 02:51:51,120
be making its fourth visit to the

3825
02:51:56,510 --> 02:51:53,340
station having previously supported demo

3826
02:51:58,490 --> 02:51:56,520
2 Crew 2 and Axiom mission one and

3827
02:52:01,070 --> 02:51:58,500
speaking of demo 2 the spacecraft was

3828
02:52:03,410 --> 02:52:01,080
named Dragon Endeavor by Bob and Doug

3829
02:52:05,870 --> 02:52:03,420
during its inaugural flight in May of

3830
02:52:08,269 --> 02:52:05,880
2020 and yet another fun fact tonight's

3831
02:52:10,550 --> 02:52:08,279
launch marks our four-year anniversary

3832
02:52:12,410 --> 02:52:10,560
of the demo One mission which launched

3833
02:52:14,809 --> 02:52:12,420
on the same day just a couple of hours

3834
02:52:16,670 --> 02:52:14,819
later than we're launching today which

3835
02:52:19,130 --> 02:52:16,680
served as an end-to-end test flight of

3836
02:52:21,530 --> 02:52:19,140
dragon's capabilities since crew won in

3837
02:52:23,389 --> 02:52:21,540
November of 2020 SpaceX has been

3838
02:52:25,130 --> 02:52:23,399
regularly flying commercial crew

3839
02:52:26,750 --> 02:52:25,140
missions for NASA to and from the

3840
02:52:28,190 --> 02:52:26,760
International Space Station add an

3841
02:52:29,630 --> 02:52:28,200
average Cadence of about one flight

3842
02:52:32,450 --> 02:52:29,640
every six months

3843
02:52:34,550 --> 02:52:32,460
it took a lot of love and dedication to

3844
02:52:37,010 --> 02:52:34,560
get here today and we are still learning

3845
02:52:38,510 --> 02:52:37,020
and innovating from every launch from

3846
02:52:40,670 --> 02:52:38,520
the beginning Dragon was designed to

3847
02:52:42,670 --> 02:52:40,680
eventually fly people to help further

3848
02:52:45,349 --> 02:52:42,680
our ultimate goal of making life

3849
02:52:46,969 --> 02:52:45,359
multi-planetary the dragon hanging from

3850
02:52:49,130 --> 02:52:46,979
the ceiling behind us was initially

3851
02:52:51,469 --> 02:52:49,140
flown to certify SpaceX for cargo

3852
02:52:54,290 --> 02:52:51,479
missions to the space station over 10

3853
02:52:56,269 --> 02:52:54,300
years ago it flew back in 2010 but it

3854
02:52:58,309 --> 02:52:56,279
included a window because the vehicle

3855
02:53:00,530 --> 02:52:58,319
had been designed from the beginning to

3856
02:53:02,570 --> 02:53:00,540
fly crew we always knew that this was

3857
02:53:04,550 --> 02:53:02,580
the direction that we wanted to go in

3858
02:53:06,349 --> 02:53:04,560
as we continue the countdown to liftoff

3859
02:53:09,170 --> 02:53:06,359
we'd like to welcome you

3860
02:53:10,910 --> 02:53:09,180
to SpaceX Mission Control in Hawthorne

3861
02:53:13,070 --> 02:53:10,920
this is where our teams are staffed

3862
02:53:15,230 --> 02:53:13,080
around the clock to monitor dragon and

3863
02:53:17,210 --> 02:53:15,240
the mission overall on Console or

3864
02:53:18,769 --> 02:53:17,220
headset in Mission Control are six key

3865
02:53:20,750 --> 02:53:18,779
positions

3866
02:53:22,250 --> 02:53:20,760
the mission director is in charge of the

3867
02:53:24,830 --> 02:53:22,260
room and tasked with making real-time

3868
02:53:26,809 --> 02:53:24,840
decisions to ensure Mission success the

3869
02:53:28,790 --> 02:53:26,819
person that you may hear talking to the

3870
02:53:30,889 --> 02:53:28,800
astronauts is the crew operations and

3871
02:53:32,630 --> 02:53:30,899
resources engineer who you'll hear us

3872
02:53:34,969 --> 02:53:32,640
refer to as the core throughout the

3873
02:53:37,070 --> 02:53:34,979
broadcast and the four additional team

3874
02:53:39,110 --> 02:53:37,080
members are focused on Vehicle Systems

3875
02:53:41,750 --> 02:53:39,120
including avionics navigation and

3876
02:53:43,370 --> 02:53:41,760
Control software propulsion life support

3877
02:53:44,510 --> 02:53:43,380
and communication with ground support

3878
02:53:47,030 --> 02:53:44,520
teams

3879
02:53:49,190 --> 02:53:47,040
apart from Mission Control our Falcon 9

3880
02:53:51,469 --> 02:53:49,200
team is currently located in firing room

3881
02:53:53,929 --> 02:53:51,479
4 in the launch control center at

3882
02:53:55,849 --> 02:53:53,939
Kennedy Space Center in Florida now with

3883
02:53:57,290 --> 02:53:55,859
less than an hour until launch they are

3884
02:53:59,510 --> 02:53:57,300
settling in for final checkouts

3885
02:54:01,309 --> 02:53:59,520
propellant loading and for launch and

3886
02:54:03,230 --> 02:54:01,319
then of course NASA has its own team

3887
02:54:05,269 --> 02:54:03,240
members at NASA's Mission Control Center

3888
02:54:07,309 --> 02:54:05,279
in Houston Texas who have been preparing

3889
02:54:09,110 --> 02:54:07,319
the space station for dragon's arrival

3890
02:54:11,150 --> 02:54:09,120
and they recently gave their go for

3891
02:54:13,910 --> 02:54:11,160
launch saying that the station is ready

3892
02:54:15,710 --> 02:54:13,920
to receive the new crew upon liftoff

3893
02:54:18,110 --> 02:54:15,720
today's ride to the space station will

3894
02:54:20,330 --> 02:54:18,120
take about 24 and a half hours with

3895
02:54:22,490 --> 02:54:20,340
dragon flying autonomously the entire

3896
02:54:24,290 --> 02:54:22,500
way and just like autopilot on a

3897
02:54:26,210 --> 02:54:24,300
commercial aircraft the crew always has

3898
02:54:28,370 --> 02:54:26,220
the ability to take manual control of

3899
02:54:31,910 --> 02:54:28,380
the spacecraft if needed

3900
02:54:34,070 --> 02:54:31,920
now at under T minus 55 minutes we are

3901
02:54:36,290 --> 02:54:34,080
looking good for an on-time liftoff and

3902
02:54:37,670 --> 02:54:36,300
our very own incredible Kate Tice has

3903
02:54:39,769 --> 02:54:37,680
been monitoring the progress of the

3904
02:54:42,530 --> 02:54:39,779
countdown how's it going so far Kate

3905
02:54:44,269 --> 02:54:42,540
thanks Jesse I'm Kate Tice SpaceX

3906
02:54:46,309 --> 02:54:44,279

3907
02:54:48,110 --> 02:54:46,319
bringing you vehicle status updates this

3908
02:54:50,929 --> 02:54:48,120
evening it's been a pretty smooth

3909
02:54:53,330 --> 02:54:50,939
countdown so far the crew six astronauts

3910
02:54:56,150 --> 02:54:53,340
wrapped up in Grass at 2 minus two hours

3911
02:54:58,370 --> 02:54:56,160
and 34 minutes since then the teams

3912
02:55:01,070 --> 02:54:58,380
completed the required com checks suit

3913
02:55:03,769 --> 02:55:01,080
leak checks and side hatch closure as

3914
02:55:06,230 --> 02:55:03,779
well as side hatch leak check the

3915
02:55:09,349 --> 02:55:06,240
closeout team has Departed the BDA and

3916
02:55:11,330 --> 02:55:09,359
the pad is clear now as for Falcon 9 our

3917
02:55:13,130 --> 02:55:11,340
two-stage reusable rocket that you see

3918
02:55:14,990 --> 02:55:13,140
there on your screen final propulsion

3919
02:55:17,150 --> 02:55:15,000
checkout of first and second stages

3920
02:55:19,370 --> 02:55:17,160
begin a few minutes ago in preparation

3921
02:55:21,170 --> 02:55:19,380
for propellant loading this involves

3922
02:55:23,510 --> 02:55:21,180
testing Valves and engine pneumatic

3923
02:55:26,030 --> 02:55:23,520
pressurization now as you might be able

3924
02:55:28,130 --> 02:55:26,040
to guess from the lack of re-entry soot

3925
02:55:30,110 --> 02:55:28,140
on Falcon 9's first stage which is the

3926
02:55:32,210 --> 02:55:30,120
low or two-thirds of the vehicle there

3927
02:55:35,150 --> 02:55:32,220
that booster will be flying for the

3928
02:55:36,889 --> 02:55:35,160
first time tonight now at tmine is 45

3929
02:55:38,870 --> 02:55:36,899
minutes less than 10 minutes from now

3930
02:55:41,630 --> 02:55:38,880
the team will report their Readiness for

3931
02:55:44,150 --> 02:55:41,640
prop load with a final electronic go

3932
02:55:46,309 --> 02:55:44,160
no-go poll before we can begin

3933
02:55:49,070 --> 02:55:46,319
propellant loading on Falcon 9 we still

3934
02:55:51,410 --> 02:55:49,080
have a couple tasks to perform first the

3935
02:55:53,269 --> 02:55:51,420
crew access arm will be moved out of its

3936
02:55:55,190 --> 02:55:53,279
service position as you see it in now

3937
02:55:57,170 --> 02:55:55,200
and it will rotate away from the Dragon

3938
02:56:00,590 --> 02:55:57,180
capsule and over to its launch position

3939
02:56:02,870 --> 02:56:00,600
that will happen between T minus 44 and

3940
02:56:05,030 --> 02:56:02,880
42 minutes almost immediately after the

3941
02:56:06,349 --> 02:56:05,040
T minus 45 minute launch director's

3942
02:56:08,150 --> 02:56:06,359
briefing

3943
02:56:10,490 --> 02:56:08,160
access arm out of the way the launch

3944
02:56:12,050 --> 02:56:10,500
Escape system will then be armed once

3945
02:56:13,969 --> 02:56:12,060
those two events are complete Dragon

3946
02:56:16,550 --> 02:56:13,979
will be ready for Falcon propellant

3947
02:56:18,590 --> 02:56:16,560
loading as for weather we will also

3948
02:56:20,570 --> 02:56:18,600
verify with the launch weather officer

3949
02:56:22,610 --> 02:56:20,580
that all of the weather conditions meet

3950
02:56:25,250 --> 02:56:22,620
are launch constraints those include

3951
02:56:27,410 --> 02:56:25,260
items such as wind speed lightning and

3952
02:56:31,370 --> 02:56:27,420
precipitation in the area surrounding

3953
02:56:33,110 --> 02:56:31,380
Pad 39a but tonight we're expecting uh

3954
02:56:34,969 --> 02:56:33,120
acceptable weather conditions for launch

3955
02:56:38,690 --> 02:56:34,979
both at surface level and upper

3956
02:56:40,429 --> 02:56:38,700
altitudes once again our probability of

3957
02:56:42,590 --> 02:56:40,439
violation of those conditions is only

3958
02:56:44,450 --> 02:56:42,600
five percent so looking good

3959
02:56:46,670 --> 02:56:44,460
the range is currently clear for launch

3960
02:56:48,769 --> 02:56:46,680
a worldwide network of ground stations

3961
02:56:51,349 --> 02:56:48,779
and tracking and data relay satellites

3962
02:56:53,210 --> 02:56:51,359
or tdris are ready to support and those

3963
02:56:55,309 --> 02:56:53,220
are what help us get live views and data

3964
02:56:57,290 --> 02:56:55,319
as dragon heads into orbit

3965
02:57:00,710 --> 02:56:57,300
today we have an instantaneous launch

3966
02:57:02,750 --> 02:57:00,720
window at 12 34 a.m Eastern as I've said

3967
02:57:05,150 --> 02:57:02,760
before once we begin propellant load

3968
02:57:07,550 --> 02:57:05,160
there is no opportunity to change the t0

3969
02:57:09,290 --> 02:57:07,560
the timing for Dragon to Rendezvous with

3970
02:57:11,809 --> 02:57:09,300
the International Space Station is down

3971
02:57:14,690 --> 02:57:11,819
to the exact second so today we only get

3972
02:57:17,990 --> 02:57:14,700
one chance but the good news at T minus

3973
02:57:21,950 --> 02:57:18,000
51 minutes and 32 seconds a Wii and

3974
02:57:24,769 --> 02:57:21,960
Counting uh we are go for launch

3975
02:57:27,230 --> 02:57:24,779
great news thanks Kate today's launch

3976
02:57:29,330 --> 02:57:27,240
marks the sixth time a rotational crew

3977
02:57:30,769 --> 02:57:29,340
will fly on a commercial spacecraft and

3978
02:57:32,870 --> 02:57:30,779
much like our previous Cruise today's

3979
02:57:34,490 --> 02:57:32,880
crew has been training with our teams at

3980
02:57:35,870 --> 02:57:34,500
SpaceX for the last several months

3981
02:57:37,849 --> 02:57:35,880
running nominal and emergency

3982
02:57:39,710 --> 02:57:37,859
simulations of what the full mission

3983
02:57:42,230 --> 02:57:39,720
will look like while seated inside of

3984
02:57:44,809 --> 02:57:42,240
dragon and as with every Mission each

3985
02:57:46,490 --> 02:57:44,819
one of our crew members brings a diverse

3986
02:57:48,290 --> 02:57:46,500
set of experience to today's flight

3987
02:57:50,870 --> 02:57:48,300
that's right and let's start with the

3988
02:57:53,269 --> 02:57:50,880
missions Commander Steve Bowen was born

3989
02:57:54,830 --> 02:57:53,279

2000 Boeing became the first submarine

3997
02:58:12,410 --> 02:58:10,439
officer selected as an astronaut by NASA

3998
02:58:14,570 --> 02:58:12,420
this will be Bowen's fourth trip into

3999
02:58:18,710 --> 02:58:14,580
space as a veteran of three space

4000
02:58:23,030 --> 02:58:18,720

4025
02:59:16,730 --> 02:59:15,300
as a mission specialist working to

4026
02:59:18,950 --> 02:59:16,740
monitor the spacecraft during the

4027
02:59:20,990 --> 02:59:18,960
dynamic launch and re-entry phases of

4028
02:59:22,849 --> 02:59:21,000
flight he spent time in the UAE military

4029
02:59:25,550 --> 02:59:22,859
prior to becoming one of the first two

4030
02:59:27,349 --> 02:59:25,560
individuals selected by his country when

4031
02:59:29,990 --> 02:59:27,359
they started their space program just a

4032
02:59:32,690 --> 02:59:30,000
few years ago in 2017. on the Audi will

4033
02:59:34,550 --> 02:59:32,700
be the first UAE astronaut to fly on a

4034
02:59:37,610 --> 02:59:34,560
commercial spacecraft

4035
02:59:40,429 --> 02:59:37,620
Andre fed yayev will be making his first

4036
02:59:42,050 --> 02:59:40,439
trip to space and will also serve as a

4037
02:59:43,849 --> 02:59:42,060
mission specialist monitoring the

4038
02:59:45,950 --> 02:59:43,859
spacecraft during the dynamic launch and

4039
02:59:48,349 --> 02:59:45,960
re-entry phases of flight he was

4040
02:59:50,510 --> 02:59:48,359
selected as a cosmonaut in 2012 and will

4041
02:59:53,030 --> 02:59:50,520
be the second Cosmonaut to fly aboard a

4042
02:59:55,490 --> 02:59:53,040
SpaceX Dragon each of these crew members

4043
02:59:57,050 --> 02:59:55,500
will be a part of expedition 68 upon

4044
02:59:58,370 --> 02:59:57,060
their arrival to the International Space

4045
03:00:00,170 --> 02:59:58,380
Station

4046
03:00:02,090 --> 03:00:00,180
now let's head over to Kate's Heist for

4047
03:00:03,889 --> 03:00:02,100
another status update on the countdown

4048
03:00:06,889 --> 03:00:03,899
how's it going Kate

4049
03:00:09,170 --> 03:00:06,899
thanks Jesse we're coming up to T-minus

4050
03:00:11,030 --> 03:00:09,180
48 minutes and 40 seconds the SpaceX

4051
03:00:13,250 --> 03:00:11,040
launch teams are finishing final review

4052
03:00:15,650 --> 03:00:13,260
of data from all the checkouts of Falcon

4053
03:00:17,090 --> 03:00:15,660
9 over the last hour the launch director

4054
03:00:18,769 --> 03:00:17,100
has confirmed with the launch weather

4055
03:00:20,809 --> 03:00:18,779
officer that weather meets propellant

4056
03:00:23,330 --> 03:00:20,819
loading constraints so up next will be

4057
03:00:26,210 --> 03:00:23,340
to pull the team for Readiness both to

4058
03:00:29,210 --> 03:00:26,220
load propellant and to launch that will

4059
03:00:31,550 --> 03:00:29,220
be the final poll prior to liftoff the

4060
03:00:34,130 --> 03:00:31,560
seven SpaceX responsible Engineers often

4061
03:00:36,530 --> 03:00:34,140
called res indicate that they are a go

4062
03:00:38,870 --> 03:00:36,540
by electronically voting on the online

4063
03:00:41,809 --> 03:00:38,880
countdown procedure the launch director

4064
03:00:45,050 --> 03:00:41,819
or LD also checks with the dragon

4065
03:00:48,290 --> 03:00:45,060
mission director MD and the NASA launch

4066
03:00:50,210 --> 03:00:48,300
manager to make sure they are ready

4067
03:00:53,030 --> 03:00:50,220
earlier you saw the Vehicle Assembly

4068
03:00:55,969 --> 03:00:53,040
Building called the VAB the Falcon and

4069
03:00:57,590 --> 03:00:55,979
Dragon launch team as well as key NASA

4070
03:01:00,170 --> 03:00:57,600
launch members are in the launch control

4071
03:01:01,910 --> 03:01:00,180
center adjacent to the VAB you can

4072
03:01:03,469 --> 03:01:01,920
actually see where they are right now on

4073
03:01:05,750 --> 03:01:03,479
the right hand side of your screen they

4074
03:01:08,090 --> 03:01:05,760
have a view straight towards pad 39a

4075
03:01:10,429 --> 03:01:08,100
through those large Windows of firing

4076
03:01:12,469 --> 03:01:10,439
room four

4077
03:01:14,750 --> 03:01:12,479
on your screen you see there the Dragon

4078
03:01:17,330 --> 03:01:14,760
capsule with the crew access arms still

4079
03:01:18,650 --> 03:01:17,340
in the service position the crew is on

4080
03:01:20,389 --> 03:01:18,660
board Dragon waiting for the next

4081
03:01:22,910 --> 03:01:20,399
instructions which will be to Stow the

4082
03:01:25,190 --> 03:01:22,920
crew on for launch and to arm the launch

4083
03:01:26,929 --> 03:01:25,200
Escape system once they launch director

4084
03:01:29,269 --> 03:01:26,939
gives the final instructions to the

4085
03:01:31,969 --> 03:01:29,279
launch Team in that T-minus 45 minute

4086
03:01:34,070 --> 03:01:31,979
briefing immediately afterward the crew

4087
03:01:35,750 --> 03:01:34,080
armed sequence uh excuse me the crew

4088
03:01:37,969 --> 03:01:35,760
access arm sequence will be armed and

4089
03:01:39,889 --> 03:01:37,979
initiated we should get a good view of

4090
03:01:41,570 --> 03:01:39,899
that access arm as it swings away from

4091
03:01:43,790 --> 03:01:41,580
the capsule that will take about two

4092
03:01:45,230 --> 03:01:43,800
minutes to complete its rotation to move

4093
03:01:47,870 --> 03:01:45,240
out of the way

4094
03:01:50,570 --> 03:01:47,880
the range continues to be go for launch

4095
03:01:52,730 --> 03:01:50,580
they continue to monitor the clearance

4096
03:01:54,889 --> 03:01:52,740
area around the launch pad as well as

4097
03:01:59,330 --> 03:01:54,899
the air and sea space around that

4098
03:02:02,269 --> 03:01:59,340
downward upstream or the flight Corridor

4099
03:02:03,650 --> 03:02:02,279
Downstream from a launch pad as we

4100
03:02:05,990 --> 03:02:03,660
mentioned before we have to make sure

4101
03:02:09,170 --> 03:02:06,000
that all areas are secure and the

4102
03:02:10,910 --> 03:02:09,180
unlikely event of a an abort

4103
03:02:12,530 --> 03:02:10,920
there at Kennedy Space Center the

4104
03:02:16,070 --> 03:02:12,540
conditions are predicted to be

4105
03:02:17,929 --> 03:02:16,080
acceptable for launch but you can if we

4106
03:02:20,870 --> 03:02:17,939
had daylight you'd be able to see that

4107
03:02:22,550 --> 03:02:20,880
conditions are pretty calm there's a 13

4108
03:02:26,750 --> 03:02:22,560
mile per hour winds from the South

4109
03:02:28,429 --> 03:02:26,760
Southwest so pretty mild all in all

4110
03:02:31,849 --> 03:02:28,439
The downrange Landing zones as I

4111
03:02:34,969 --> 03:02:31,859
mentioned before are also within the

4112
03:02:37,190 --> 03:02:34,979
conditions as needed if needed for an

4113
03:02:39,469 --> 03:02:37,200
escape so everything also looking go

4114
03:02:42,710 --> 03:02:39,479
down range

4115
03:02:46,130 --> 03:02:42,720
now in about a minute we will hear the

4116
03:02:49,309 --> 03:02:46,140
uh briefing from the launch director

4117
03:02:54,349 --> 03:02:49,319
as I mentioned before the Readiness poll

4118
03:02:57,769 --> 03:02:54,359
that is underway is the final go for

4119
03:02:59,990 --> 03:02:57,779
propellant load and for launch

4120
03:03:02,809 --> 03:03:00,000
they're on screen you can see the four

4121
03:03:06,170 --> 03:03:02,819
crew members of crew six waiting

4122
03:03:11,090 --> 03:03:08,210
not much for them to do at this moment

4123
03:03:21,830 --> 03:03:11,100
but wait for that LD briefing which will

4124
03:03:28,969 --> 03:03:25,070
as I mentioned before the team in

4125
03:03:31,910 --> 03:03:28,979
mission control as well as the teams in

4126
03:03:34,849 --> 03:03:31,920
firing room four they are basically

4127
03:03:37,070 --> 03:03:34,859
collectively both with NASA launch Team

4128
03:03:39,290 --> 03:03:37,080
and the Dragon launch Team and the

4129
03:03:41,330 --> 03:03:39,300
Falcon is complete and the team is ready

4130
03:03:43,250 --> 03:03:41,340
for crew access arm retract propelled

4131
03:03:45,170 --> 03:03:43,260
load and launch

4132
03:03:47,450 --> 03:03:45,180
both control arms are going to lockdown

4133
03:03:49,010 --> 03:03:47,460
at T minus 45 minutes and remain in that

4134
03:03:51,349 --> 03:03:49,020
state until the launch Escape system is

4135
03:03:52,730 --> 03:03:51,359
disarmed all operators are remain at

4136
03:03:54,650 --> 03:03:52,740
their console and maintain a sterile

4137
03:03:56,870 --> 03:03:54,660
cockpit until MD confirms successful

4138
03:03:59,030 --> 03:03:56,880
disarming the launch Escape system

4139
03:04:00,830 --> 03:03:59,040
following orbit insertion or propellant

4140
03:04:03,050 --> 03:04:00,840
offload in the event of a scrub

4141
03:04:04,849 --> 03:04:03,060
for non-urgent no-go conditions brief

4142
03:04:06,050 --> 03:04:04,859
the CE or LD and they'll approve a

4143
03:04:07,790 --> 03:04:06,060
boarding the countdown

4144
03:04:09,590 --> 03:04:07,800
for Urgent issues affecting the safety

4145
03:04:11,750 --> 03:04:09,600
of the operation operator shall call

4146
03:04:13,730 --> 03:04:11,760
hold hold hold hold hold on the

4147
03:04:15,650 --> 03:04:13,740
countdown net launch control will board

4148
03:04:17,809 --> 03:04:15,660
the launch Auto sequence immediately and

4149
03:04:19,730 --> 03:04:17,819
proceed into the launch alert sequence

4150
03:04:21,769 --> 03:04:19,740
at T minus 10 seconds launch control

4151
03:04:23,030 --> 03:04:21,779
will be hands off relying on automated

4152
03:04:24,110 --> 03:04:23,040
board criteria for their remainder of

4153
03:04:25,670 --> 03:04:24,120
the count

4154
03:04:33,410 --> 03:04:25,680
launch control you may proceed with

4155
03:04:40,730 --> 03:04:36,170
there we heard that final go for launch

4156
03:04:42,309 --> 03:04:40,740
and prop load from launch director

4157
03:04:44,389 --> 03:04:42,319
started

4158
03:04:47,150 --> 03:04:44,399
and there we just heard the call out

4159
03:04:49,670 --> 03:04:47,160
that the crew access arm retraction is

4160
03:04:52,730 --> 03:04:49,680
underway so let's head back to Daryl

4161
03:04:57,110 --> 03:04:52,740
over at Kennedy as they have a live view

4162
03:04:59,530 --> 03:04:57,120
of that retraction as it happens and uh

4163
03:05:02,150 --> 03:04:59,540
will be the major final physical

4164
03:05:05,450 --> 03:05:02,160
reconfiguration of the pad prior to

4165
03:05:07,490 --> 03:05:05,460
launch Daryl how's it going great Kate

4166
03:05:09,830 --> 03:05:07,500
and thank you very much as we watch the

4167
03:05:12,830 --> 03:05:09,840
crew access arm move quickly at first

4168
03:05:15,170 --> 03:05:12,840
and then rotate away from the dragon

4169
03:05:17,389 --> 03:05:15,180
spacecraft there's the view from inside

4170
03:05:20,389 --> 03:05:17,399
the crew access arm the white room at

4171
03:05:23,990 --> 03:05:20,399
the very end of it as we can see the

4172
03:05:28,730 --> 03:05:26,450
hitting another Milestone here Raja on

4173
03:05:30,950 --> 03:05:28,740
our way to liftoff

4174
03:05:34,070 --> 03:05:30,960
yep in the crew is definitely tracking

4175
03:05:37,190 --> 03:05:34,080
through all this on a timeline so

4176
03:05:39,110 --> 03:05:37,200
they're procedurally in 4.100 following

4177
03:05:41,450 --> 03:05:39,120
that SpaceX is retracting the crew arm

4178
03:05:42,530 --> 03:05:41,460
and then starting to prepare for the

4179
03:05:44,090 --> 03:05:42,540
next big step they'll be taking is

4180
03:05:45,769 --> 03:05:44,100
launching or sorry arming the launch

4181
03:05:48,110 --> 03:05:45,779
Escape system

4182
03:05:49,969 --> 03:05:48,120
and then looking forward on the timeline

4183
03:05:51,290 --> 03:05:49,979
to basically go through the steps for

4184
03:05:52,490 --> 03:05:51,300
the prop loading

4185
03:05:54,230 --> 03:05:52,500
so we talked a little bit about the

4186
03:05:56,450 --> 03:05:54,240
first uh the first broadcast but it's

4187
03:05:58,550 --> 03:05:56,460
kind of a key mental note here as well

4188
03:06:00,349 --> 03:05:58,560
if there was an emergency pad address

4189
03:06:01,370 --> 03:06:00,359
they probably have some crew

4190
03:06:02,750 --> 03:06:01,380
coordination of who's going to get to

4191
03:06:04,070 --> 03:06:02,760
the hatch first but you definitely want

4192
03:06:05,389 --> 03:06:04,080
to make sure the crew armor is back in

4193
03:06:07,370 --> 03:06:05,399
place so there's this period of time

4194
03:06:09,769 --> 03:06:07,380
well the crew access arm is not there

4195
03:06:12,290 --> 03:06:09,779
the launch Escape system is not armed so

4196
03:06:13,910 --> 03:06:12,300
access arm retraction complete you need

4197
03:06:15,349 --> 03:06:13,920
the arm to swing back to the capsule

4198
03:06:16,670 --> 03:06:15,359
before you can actually egress you need

4199
03:06:18,650 --> 03:06:16,680
to make sure that's there before you you

4200
03:06:20,630 --> 03:06:18,660
step out

4201
03:06:22,429 --> 03:06:20,640
critically important and we've got some

4202
03:06:25,429 --> 03:06:22,439
beautiful views from our flight

4203
03:06:28,429 --> 03:06:25,439
operations team which is not only making

4204
03:06:31,429 --> 03:06:28,439
sure that the area around the rocket is

4205
03:06:34,790 --> 03:06:31,439
safe but also giving us some spectacular

4206
03:06:37,010 --> 03:06:34,800
views of that crew access arm uh as it

4207
03:06:39,110 --> 03:06:37,020
retracted away from the rocket and there

4208
03:06:40,849 --> 03:06:39,120
it is again right there

4209
03:06:42,530 --> 03:06:40,859
yeah it's a great view where you can see

4210
03:06:44,870 --> 03:06:42,540
the the both the strong back which is

4211
03:06:47,330 --> 03:06:44,880
the structural piece uh holding the

4212
03:06:49,910 --> 03:06:47,340
rocket up there now and then the crew

4213
03:06:55,190 --> 03:06:49,920
access arm swung back

4214
03:07:00,849 --> 03:06:58,429
hopefully no dragonflies that far up and

4215
03:07:04,130 --> 03:07:00,859
we had our own dragonflies earlier

4216
03:07:06,290 --> 03:07:04,140
again we we have successfully had good

4217
03:07:07,730 --> 03:07:06,300
luck here at the launch broadcast we've

4218
03:07:09,349 --> 03:07:07,740
done our part It's feeling good we're

4219
03:07:11,389 --> 03:07:09,359
doing it exactly doing what we can

4220
03:07:12,769 --> 03:07:11,399
there's a great view too of the trunk so

4221
03:07:14,450 --> 03:07:12,779
you can see the side which is the part

4222
03:07:16,730 --> 03:07:14,460
just below the capsule that's got the

4223
03:07:18,590 --> 03:07:16,740
the avionics radiators for cooling uh

4224
03:07:20,030 --> 03:07:18,600
and then the left side that looks black

4225
03:07:21,830 --> 03:07:20,040
in the picture here is actually the

4226
03:07:24,290 --> 03:07:21,840
solar panels that generates the power

4227
03:07:26,150 --> 03:07:24,300
for the uh the capsule on orbit curious

4228
03:07:27,830 --> 03:07:26,160
it looks like we saw a Plane off there

4229
03:07:29,690 --> 03:07:27,840
in the distance and it could be pretty

4230
03:07:30,889 --> 03:07:29,700
well off given it's dark and night that

4231
03:07:33,170 --> 03:07:30,899
might have been the Helo out there

4232
03:07:35,450 --> 03:07:33,180
potentially oh very good good call

4233
03:07:38,330 --> 03:07:35,460
the countdown T minus 41 minutes and

4234
03:07:40,429 --> 03:07:38,340
Counting and uh

4235
03:07:44,269 --> 03:07:40,439
we're heading down to a launch time of

4236
03:07:47,090 --> 03:07:44,279
12 34 a.m We saw the retraction that's

4237
03:07:49,969 --> 03:07:47,100
the last major visual Milestone as we

4238
03:07:51,710 --> 03:07:49,979
prepare for liftoff shortly thereafter

4239
03:07:54,170 --> 03:07:51,720
we should hear the call out that the

4240
03:07:56,809 --> 03:07:54,180
launch Escape system is armed and then

4241
03:08:00,110 --> 03:07:56,819
from there Raja we will hear that F9

4242
03:08:01,910 --> 03:08:00,120
prop load has started

4243
03:08:04,490 --> 03:08:01,920
yep and now timeline wise I'd expect

4244
03:08:06,349 --> 03:08:04,500
probably about another minute and a half

4245
03:08:08,570 --> 03:08:06,359
or two they'll uh they'll tell the crew

4246
03:08:10,309 --> 03:08:08,580
to uh they'll tell them to go and step

4247
03:08:11,750 --> 03:08:10,319
into the arming um you'll see them

4248
03:08:13,309 --> 03:08:11,760
putting advisors down you'll probably

4249
03:08:15,349 --> 03:08:13,319
see them tugging at the restraint straps

4250
03:08:17,030 --> 03:08:15,359
just making sure everything is extra

4251
03:08:19,190 --> 03:08:17,040
tight making sure you saw like Andre

4252
03:08:20,929 --> 03:08:19,200
before was using his uh stylus to

4253
03:08:22,849 --> 03:08:20,939
probably edit some of the weather data

4254
03:08:23,990 --> 03:08:22,859
they had on their iPad they'll Stow all

4255
03:08:25,910 --> 03:08:24,000
those things and basically put

4256
03:08:27,230 --> 03:08:25,920
themselves in a posture uh where you

4257
03:08:29,570 --> 03:08:27,240
could you see them still in it right now

4258
03:08:31,370 --> 03:08:29,580
where you could be in a posture where if

4259
03:08:32,929 --> 03:08:31,380
the capsule were to initiate a launch

4260
03:08:35,389 --> 03:08:32,939
Escape you'd be prepared for that so

4261
03:08:38,630 --> 03:08:35,399
from the time that is hot you are pretty

4262
03:08:40,910 --> 03:08:38,640
much sitting on a a live set of super

4263
03:08:42,889 --> 03:08:40,920
draco's that could go off automatically

4264
03:08:44,630 --> 03:08:42,899
if the vehicle senses a malfunction once

4265
03:08:45,830 --> 03:08:44,640
the prop loading starts or it could be

4266
03:08:47,630 --> 03:08:45,840
manual issued so you always want to be

4267
03:08:49,730 --> 03:08:47,640
ready once that system's hot

4268
03:08:52,010 --> 03:08:49,740
well Roger you say it and then we see it

4269
03:08:53,990 --> 03:08:52,020
calling it out remember well from your

4270
03:08:56,990 --> 03:08:54,000
time as the commander

4271
03:08:58,730 --> 03:08:57,000
of crew 3

4272
03:09:01,190 --> 03:08:58,740
it's worth noting you just came back

4273
03:09:04,010 --> 03:09:01,200
from space it was what May of last year

4274
03:09:06,170 --> 03:09:04,020
yep yeah yeah it's good good to be back

4275
03:09:08,269 --> 03:09:06,180
I I'd go back into heartbeat but it's

4276
03:09:09,830 --> 03:09:08,279
also good to be back home but oh you're

4277
03:09:11,990 --> 03:09:09,840
watching your friends go up yeah this is

4278
03:09:13,610 --> 03:09:12,000
uh it's really surreal to have uh you

4279
03:09:15,590 --> 03:09:13,620
know friends and colleagues on the end

4280
03:09:17,389 --> 03:09:15,600
of that rocket and I think uh you know

4281
03:09:19,429 --> 03:09:17,399
just reinforces the importance you asked

4282
03:09:20,690 --> 03:09:19,439
earlier and the the question was like

4283
03:09:22,969 --> 03:09:20,700
what do we do on our normal job there's

4284
03:09:24,349 --> 03:09:22,979
also people in our office uh so Joe

4285
03:09:26,389 --> 03:09:24,359
who's the chief of the office goes to

4286
03:09:27,830 --> 03:09:26,399
the the lawn trainers reviews and you

4287
03:09:29,090 --> 03:09:27,840
know you are signing up your friends to

4288
03:09:38,410 --> 03:09:29,100
go riding this thing so we take it

4289
03:09:43,070 --> 03:09:41,929
you can see just by Andre's left leg the

4290
03:09:43,969 --> 03:09:43,080
red of that bag we were talking about

4291
03:09:46,849 --> 03:09:43,979
that earlier which you couldn't say

4292
03:09:51,050 --> 03:09:46,859
again SpaceX go for Section six close

4293
03:09:55,309 --> 03:09:52,730
all right we're picking up a second

4294
03:09:57,889 --> 03:09:55,319
click on closing the buses

4295
03:09:59,330 --> 03:09:57,899
and arming the launch the state system

4296
03:10:00,710 --> 03:09:59,340
all right so you see them reaching up to

4297
03:10:02,210 --> 03:10:00,720
the displays they're stepping to that

4298
03:10:04,250 --> 03:10:02,220
section of the procedure

4299
03:10:05,750 --> 03:10:04,260
all verbalizing now with the visors down

4300
03:10:06,889 --> 03:10:05,760
that the Vox settings are correct so

4301
03:10:48,250 --> 03:10:06,899
they can hear each other the next dragon

4302
03:10:53,630 --> 03:10:51,349
in the event of a launch Escape

4303
03:10:54,889 --> 03:10:53,640
can you hear the prompt flow as well uh

4304
03:10:57,590 --> 03:10:54,899
well hopefully you never hear that sound

4305
03:10:59,809 --> 03:10:57,600
oh no okay so it doesn't bleed in the

4306
03:11:02,510 --> 03:10:59,819
system no okay it just opens the valve

4307
03:11:04,610 --> 03:11:02,520
Escape system is verified armed

4308
03:11:08,929 --> 03:11:04,620
there's a verification of our mean of

4309
03:11:13,130 --> 03:11:11,330
right on time with our Milestones as we

4310
03:11:15,469 --> 03:11:13,140
count down and so for the crew they're

4311
03:11:17,230 --> 03:11:15,479
now closing out 4.100 which is their

4312
03:11:20,030 --> 03:11:17,240
launch preparation

4313
03:11:22,130 --> 03:11:20,040
procedure and they're now stepping ahead

4314
03:11:24,050 --> 03:11:22,140
to what's the the prop loading timeline

4315
03:11:26,630 --> 03:11:24,060
on their displays which is going to give

4316
03:11:27,889 --> 03:11:26,640
them times of what is the different

4317
03:11:29,990 --> 03:11:27,899
tanks are pressurizing and loading

4318
03:11:32,330 --> 03:11:30,000
there's no Telemetry in the dragon that

4319
03:11:34,010 --> 03:11:32,340
tells you what the F9 tanks have in them

4320
03:11:36,050 --> 03:11:34,020
in terms of amount of fuel you can see

4321
03:11:37,730 --> 03:11:36,060
what's in the dragon but not the F9 and

4322
03:11:40,130 --> 03:11:37,740
so you rely on this timeline on the

4323
03:11:42,170 --> 03:11:40,140
calls from the team to know the status

4324
03:11:43,429 --> 03:11:42,180
and that gives you an indication based

4325
03:11:46,550 --> 03:11:43,439
on the timeline you have if things are

4326
03:11:47,929 --> 03:11:46,560
behind or ahead or on timeline the team

4327
03:11:49,130 --> 03:11:47,939
on the ground can certainly yes

4328
03:12:00,170 --> 03:11:49,140
absolutely yeah the ground team can see

4329
03:12:00,180 --> 03:12:03,650
I'll start venting

4330
03:12:08,870 --> 03:12:06,110
these would be the tanks on the ground

4331
03:12:10,610 --> 03:12:08,880
right so that as they start to they have

4332
03:12:11,870 --> 03:12:10,620
what's called these giant accumulators

4333
03:12:13,670 --> 03:12:11,880
that are full of the fuel that then

4334
03:12:16,130 --> 03:12:13,680
they'll pump into the into the direct

4335
03:12:18,290 --> 03:12:16,140
into the F9 and the the two things I

4336
03:12:19,550 --> 03:12:18,300
learned on our first broadcast attempt

4337
03:12:21,290 --> 03:12:19,560
one is that the license plate changes

4338
03:12:22,790 --> 03:12:21,300
every time this is the second that I

4339
03:12:25,250 --> 03:12:22,800
also learned from you is that you can

4340
03:12:26,570 --> 03:12:25,260
tell out here how full the rocket is by

4341
03:12:28,070 --> 03:12:26,580
looking at the level that the

4342
03:12:30,349 --> 03:12:28,080
condensation comes off the outside of

4343
03:12:32,210 --> 03:12:30,359
the rocket which you uh yeah you can't

4344
03:12:33,469 --> 03:12:32,220
see that on the inside but that's a good

4345
03:12:35,030 --> 03:12:33,479
technique for if you're watching on the

4346
03:12:36,710 --> 03:12:35,040
outside and don't have the benefit of

4347
03:12:38,210 --> 03:12:36,720
having the displays the crew has or the

4348
03:12:39,590 --> 03:12:38,220
Telemetry the ground has to just get a

4349
03:12:42,050 --> 03:12:39,600
look at binoculars if you're standing

4350
03:12:43,429 --> 03:12:42,060
the causeway or on TV and know how full

4351
03:12:46,429 --> 03:12:43,439
the tank is

4352
03:12:47,750 --> 03:12:46,439
outdoor fuel gauge yeah only if you

4353
03:12:48,830 --> 03:12:47,760
launch in the humidity of Florida I

4354
03:12:51,170 --> 03:12:48,840
don't know if they'd work in the desert

4355
03:12:52,670 --> 03:12:51,180
as well well we get to one we get to see

4356
03:12:54,410 --> 03:12:52,680
launches out at Vandenberg California

4357
03:12:56,210 --> 03:12:54,420
and uh

4358
03:12:58,490 --> 03:12:56,220
it's a little drier out there it still

4359
03:13:01,309 --> 03:12:58,500
is on the coast so we have some humidity

4360
03:13:03,170 --> 03:13:01,319
but uh it is quite a sight

4361
03:13:06,290 --> 03:13:03,180
it's definite Pro tip I didn't know that

4362
03:13:07,730 --> 03:13:06,300
that oh well office for five years no no

4363
03:13:10,370 --> 03:13:07,740
one taught me that told an astronaut

4364
03:13:12,530 --> 03:13:10,380
something you know I'm feeling proud

4365
03:13:14,269 --> 03:13:12,540
but I tell you what you haven't learned

4366
03:13:17,389 --> 03:13:14,279
nearly as much as I've learned at my

4367
03:13:18,530 --> 03:13:17,399
time being in these two launch attempts

4368
03:13:24,170 --> 03:13:18,540
and

4369
03:13:26,450 --> 03:13:24,180
count this down we know our

4370
03:13:29,389 --> 03:13:26,460
astronauts all around the country are

4371
03:13:31,550 --> 03:13:29,399
watching checked in with Megan MacArthur

4372
03:13:34,190 --> 03:13:31,560
earlier had a nice little chat with her

4373
03:13:36,650 --> 03:13:34,200
she's watching

4374
03:13:38,630 --> 03:13:36,660
other astronauts from the core the

4375
03:13:40,610 --> 03:13:38,640
astronaut core is roughly about 42

4376
03:13:42,530 --> 03:13:40,620
astronauts

4377
03:13:44,389 --> 03:13:42,540
and then a new class called they're

4378
03:13:46,250 --> 03:13:44,399
named the Flies the 2021 the Flies

4379
03:13:48,050 --> 03:13:46,260
that's halfway through their training

4380
03:13:50,269 --> 03:13:48,060
yep I'm looking forward to they're

4381
03:13:51,889 --> 03:13:50,279
crushing it as you and Smith started

4382
03:13:58,849 --> 03:13:51,899
there's the call from the core yeah here

4383
03:14:03,050 --> 03:14:00,889
so at this point yeah all the closeout

4384
03:14:04,790 --> 03:14:03,060
crew is not only off the tower but

4385
03:14:06,349 --> 03:14:04,800
outside what's called the exclusion zone

4386
03:14:08,809 --> 03:14:06,359
or the hazard area or the different

4387
03:14:11,150 --> 03:14:08,819
words for basically the the radius away

4388
03:14:14,630 --> 03:14:11,160
from the launch pad since there's now

4389
03:14:19,190 --> 03:14:16,910
well T minus 34 minutes and Counting

4390
03:14:20,750 --> 03:14:19,200
until liftoff today will begin the next

4391
03:14:22,849 --> 03:14:20,760
six month rotation mission to the

4392
03:14:25,010 --> 03:14:22,859
International Space Station

4393
03:14:27,650 --> 03:14:25,020
as we've been documenting we heard the

4394
03:14:30,170 --> 03:14:27,660
launch Escape system armed

4395
03:14:31,929 --> 03:14:30,180
happened just before that propellant

4396
03:14:33,590 --> 03:14:31,939
load began

4397
03:14:35,210 --> 03:14:33,600
capsule

4398
03:14:36,710 --> 03:14:35,220
it was loaded with its propellants about

4399
03:14:38,809 --> 03:14:36,720
a week and a half ago just a few miles

4400
03:14:40,849 --> 03:14:38,819
down the road

4401
03:14:43,490 --> 03:14:40,859
in order to fly Dragon needs a fuel and

4402
03:14:45,650 --> 03:14:43,500
an oxidizer for the fuel SpaceX uses

4403
03:14:48,710 --> 03:14:45,660
monomethyl hydrazine or what they call

4404
03:14:50,870 --> 03:14:48,720
mmh and nitrogen tetroxide or nto for

4405
03:14:52,849 --> 03:14:50,880
oxidizer and together these propellants

4406
03:14:55,429 --> 03:14:52,859
feed those Draco engines that will

4407
03:14:57,889 --> 03:14:55,439
maneuver dragon on orbit

4408
03:14:59,870 --> 03:14:57,899
it also feeds those eight super Draco

4409
03:15:01,490 --> 03:14:59,880
inches you were talking about that would

4410
03:15:05,269 --> 03:15:01,500
power the launch Escape system in an

4411
03:15:09,110 --> 03:15:07,250
and so with that fueling

4412
03:15:10,790 --> 03:15:09,120
having begun

4413
03:15:13,910 --> 03:15:10,800
that means those eight super Draco

4414
03:15:14,809 --> 03:15:13,920
engines inside crew Dragon are ready we

4415
03:15:17,690 --> 03:15:14,819
heard

4416
03:15:21,170 --> 03:15:17,700
or rather Raja relayed that the

4417
03:15:24,290 --> 03:15:21,180
astronauts can hear those valves turning

4418
03:15:25,929 --> 03:15:24,300
getting that system ready to go should

4419
03:15:29,389 --> 03:15:25,939
there be any kind of emergency

4420
03:15:31,309 --> 03:15:29,399
associated with the rocket or the pad

4421
03:15:33,230 --> 03:15:31,319
of course in essence SpaceX teams they

4422
03:15:34,849 --> 03:15:33,240
train extensively for exactly that type

4423
03:15:36,650 --> 03:15:34,859
of contingency

4424
03:15:38,269 --> 03:15:36,660
and so with T-minus 33 minutes and

4425
03:15:40,670 --> 03:15:38,279
Counting let's head back over to SpaceX

4426
03:15:45,410 --> 03:15:40,680
headquarters in Hawthorne California for

4427
03:15:50,090 --> 03:15:47,750
thanks Dario Daryl I continue to follow

4428
03:15:52,429 --> 03:15:50,100
along with the final minutes of the

4429
03:15:55,510 --> 03:15:52,439
launch countdown heading for on-time

4430
03:15:57,230 --> 03:15:55,520
launch just under 33 minutes from now

4431
03:15:59,450 --> 03:15:57,240
everything's still looking good for

4432
03:16:02,330 --> 03:15:59,460
Dragon and Falcon 9. no major issues

4433
03:16:03,530 --> 03:16:02,340
reported by the teams at this time as we

4434
03:16:05,750 --> 03:16:03,540
heard on the loops the launch Escape

4435
03:16:08,690 --> 03:16:05,760
system is now armed and Falcon 9

4436
03:16:10,070 --> 03:16:08,700
propellant loading began at T minus 35

4437
03:16:11,990 --> 03:16:10,080
minutes

4438
03:16:13,610 --> 03:16:12,000
the first and second stages of Falcon 9

4439
03:16:15,830 --> 03:16:13,620
are each loaded with two liquid

4440
03:16:18,410 --> 03:16:15,840
propellants one is oxidizer loaded into

4441
03:16:20,870 --> 03:16:18,420
a tank at the top of each stage the

4442
03:16:22,910 --> 03:16:20,880
other a fuel loaded into a tank at the

4443
03:16:25,730 --> 03:16:22,920
bottom of each stage the fuel that we

4444
03:16:28,849 --> 03:16:25,740
use to power the Merlin engines is rp1

4445
03:16:32,210 --> 03:16:28,859
which is a refined kerosene the oxidizer

4446
03:16:35,510 --> 03:16:32,220
loaded on each stage is densified liquid

4447
03:16:37,790 --> 03:16:35,520
oxygen or locks densified means it is

4448
03:16:40,130 --> 03:16:37,800
kept much colder than typical for launch

4449
03:16:42,349 --> 03:16:40,140
vehicles and takes up less volume which

4450
03:16:44,929 --> 03:16:42,359
allows for more oxidizer to be loaded

4451
03:16:47,570 --> 03:16:44,939
into the first and second stages and as

4452
03:16:49,969 --> 03:16:47,580
Raja mentioned minutes ago you can tell

4453
03:16:52,070 --> 03:16:49,979
how full the tanks are based on how high

4454
03:16:54,830 --> 03:16:52,080
the condensation appears on the outside

4455
03:16:57,290 --> 03:16:54,840
of the vehicle to ignite the fuel and

4456
03:16:59,389 --> 03:16:57,300
oxidizer in the Merlin rocket engine we

4457
03:17:01,730 --> 03:16:59,399
use the ignition fluids of triethyl

4458
03:17:04,670 --> 03:17:01,740
aluminum and triathl Boron also called

4459
03:17:06,889 --> 03:17:04,680
t-tep when t-tep comes into contact with

4460
03:17:09,290 --> 03:17:06,899
oxygen it burns and produces a green

4461
03:17:11,750 --> 03:17:09,300
colored flame once we have the flame

4462
03:17:13,670 --> 03:17:11,760
going we add the kerosene fuel into the

4463
03:17:15,650 --> 03:17:13,680
Merlin chamber and the engine ramps up

4464
03:17:17,570 --> 03:17:15,660
to full power you might see the Green

4465
03:17:19,969 --> 03:17:17,580
Flash just as the second stage engine

4466
03:17:22,910 --> 03:17:19,979
ignites following stage separation 2

4467
03:17:25,130 --> 03:17:22,920
minutes and 48 seconds into flight

4468
03:17:26,809 --> 03:17:25,140
now for those of you who have been

4469
03:17:28,429 --> 03:17:26,819
following along you'll know that we

4470
03:17:31,610 --> 03:17:28,439
stood down from our initial launch

4471
03:17:34,190 --> 03:17:31,620
attempt of crew 6 on February 26th due

4472
03:17:36,650 --> 03:17:34,200
to a t-tep ground system issue it was

4473
03:17:38,690 --> 03:17:36,660
determined to be the result of a clogged

4474
03:17:41,570 --> 03:17:38,700
ground system filter that was impeding

4475
03:17:43,550 --> 03:17:41,580
the flow of t-tep SpaceX teams replaced

4476
03:17:45,950 --> 03:17:43,560
the filter Purge the t-tub lined with

4477
03:17:48,769 --> 03:17:45,960
nitrogen and verify the lines are ready

4478
03:17:51,530 --> 03:17:48,779
for launch

4479
03:17:53,630 --> 03:17:51,540
lastly we're topping helium we're

4480
03:17:56,230 --> 03:17:53,640
topping off helium into pressure vessels

4481
03:17:58,910 --> 03:17:56,240
on both the both stages

4482
03:18:01,010 --> 03:17:58,920
that is actually used to pressurize the

4483
03:18:03,230 --> 03:18:01,020
tanks in Flight as the propellant is

4484
03:18:06,230 --> 03:18:03,240
pulled out and consumed by the Merlin

4485
03:18:08,510 --> 03:18:06,240
engines it's very similar to when you're

4486
03:18:10,730 --> 03:18:08,520
drinking from a plastic helium loading

4487
03:18:12,410 --> 03:18:10,740
has started and there's that call up for

4488
03:18:13,309 --> 03:18:12,420
the cryo helium load I was just talking

4489
03:18:14,750 --> 03:18:13,319
about

4490
03:18:16,190 --> 03:18:14,760
um it's similar to drinking a plastic

4491
03:18:17,750 --> 03:18:16,200
water bottle you got to let some air

4492
03:18:18,830 --> 03:18:17,760
back into the bottle to keep it from

4493
03:18:20,450 --> 03:18:18,840
crumpling

4494
03:18:22,010 --> 03:18:20,460
now on board the spacecraft the

4495
03:18:23,630 --> 03:18:22,020
astronauts are monitoring the systems

4496
03:18:25,849 --> 03:18:23,640
while propellants are loaded into the

4497
03:18:27,530 --> 03:18:25,859
Falcon 9 below them as you can see on

4498
03:18:29,389 --> 03:18:27,540
the right hand side of your screen

4499
03:18:31,730 --> 03:18:29,399
the cruise training in the simulator

4500
03:18:33,830 --> 03:18:31,740
here at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne

4501
03:18:35,870 --> 03:18:33,840
California actually included playback of

4502
03:18:38,570 --> 03:18:35,880
sounds recorded in Dragon capsules

4503
03:18:41,330 --> 03:18:38,580
during recent flights so all of the

4504
03:18:43,070 --> 03:18:41,340
sounds that they're hearing now not only

4505
03:18:44,990 --> 03:18:43,080
did they hear before in our previous

4506
03:18:47,330 --> 03:18:45,000
launch attempt but they heard it during

4507
03:18:49,429 --> 03:18:47,340
the training simulations as well

4508
03:18:51,830 --> 03:18:49,439
as for the range they continue to report

4509
03:18:55,730 --> 03:18:51,840
no problems and they are go to support

4510
03:18:57,410 --> 03:18:55,740
launch weather also looks great as I

4511
03:18:59,630 --> 03:18:57,420
mentioned before our probability of

4512
03:19:02,090 --> 03:18:59,640
violation for the launcher constraints

4513
03:19:03,050 --> 03:19:02,100
is only five percent so really good on

4514
03:19:04,910 --> 03:19:03,060
that front

4515
03:19:07,370 --> 03:19:04,920
as a reminder today we have an

4516
03:19:09,590 --> 03:19:07,380
instantaneous launch time so at this

4517
03:19:11,750 --> 03:19:09,600
point if we hear a hold for any reason

4518
03:19:13,969 --> 03:19:11,760
we will have to stand down and Target

4519
03:19:16,490 --> 03:19:13,979
our backup launch opportunity tomorrow

4520
03:19:19,490 --> 03:19:16,500
just under 24 hours from tonight's

4521
03:19:23,150 --> 03:19:19,500
planned launch at this point in time at

4522
03:19:25,309 --> 03:19:23,160
just under T minus 29 and a half minutes

4523
03:19:27,650 --> 03:19:25,319
I'll turn it back over to Jesse and Gary

4524
03:19:29,630 --> 03:19:27,660
for an overview of events that we'll see

4525
03:19:32,450 --> 03:19:29,640
after liftoff

4526
03:19:34,010 --> 03:19:32,460
awesome thanks Kate for cruise six the

4527
03:19:36,769 --> 03:19:34,020
astronauts flight to station will take

4528
03:19:38,690 --> 03:19:36,779
about 24 and a half hours and as we wait

4529
03:19:40,429 --> 03:19:38,700
for that t-0 Mark coming up in just

4530
03:19:42,710 --> 03:19:40,439
about 29 minutes the ground operations

4531
03:19:44,389 --> 03:19:42,720
teams are doing a system series of

4532
03:19:46,550 --> 03:19:44,399
system checks to make sure that both the

4533
03:19:48,530 --> 03:19:46,560
dragon and the Falcon 9 are ready for

4534
03:19:50,450 --> 03:19:48,540
launch you're going to be looking at a

4535
03:19:52,849 --> 03:19:50,460
live view of our teams at the cape as

4536
03:19:54,769 --> 03:19:52,859
they prepare for liftoff now as we wait

4537
03:19:56,690 --> 03:19:54,779
for that launch clock to hit zero we

4538
03:19:58,490 --> 03:19:56,700
wanted to give you an overview of what

4539
03:20:00,349 --> 03:19:58,500
the ascent portion of that mission is

4540
03:20:03,170 --> 03:20:00,359
going to look like

4541
03:20:05,510 --> 03:20:03,180
once we hit t0 and a successful launch

4542
03:20:08,450 --> 03:20:05,520
occurs we will watch Falcon 9 and dragon

4543
03:20:10,730 --> 03:20:08,460
lift off from historic launch pad 39a

4544
03:20:13,370 --> 03:20:10,740
and make their ascent

4545
03:20:16,190 --> 03:20:13,380
at about 50 seconds into flight Falcon 9

4546
03:20:18,290 --> 03:20:16,200
engines will throttle down to help pass

4547
03:20:20,330 --> 03:20:18,300
through the period of Maximum Dynamic

4548
03:20:23,690 --> 03:20:20,340
pressure on the rocket or we typically

4549
03:20:25,670 --> 03:20:23,700
refer to as Max Q it's worth noting that

4550
03:20:28,130 --> 03:20:25,680
once we hit that Max cue point the

4551
03:20:29,870 --> 03:20:28,140
vehicle will be going supersonic

4552
03:20:31,790 --> 03:20:29,880
once we are through the period of

4553
03:20:34,250 --> 03:20:31,800
Maximum Dynamic pressure we can throttle

4554
03:20:35,570 --> 03:20:34,260
up our nine Merlin engines again from

4555
03:20:37,429 --> 03:20:35,580
there at about two and a half minutes

4556
03:20:38,750 --> 03:20:37,439
into flight we have a series of three

4557
03:20:40,070 --> 03:20:38,760
events that will happen in Rapid

4558
03:20:42,830 --> 03:20:40,080
succession

4559
03:20:45,530 --> 03:20:42,840
first is Mikko or main engine cutoff

4560
03:20:48,110 --> 03:20:45,540
this is where all nine Merlin 1D engines

4561
03:20:50,389 --> 03:20:48,120
shut off in preparation for stage

4562
03:20:52,670 --> 03:20:50,399
separation which is our second event

4563
03:20:54,230 --> 03:20:52,680
this is where the first stage detaches

4564
03:20:56,389 --> 03:20:54,240
from the second stage with the first

4565
03:20:59,030 --> 03:20:56,399
stage making its way back to Earth from

4566
03:21:02,090 --> 03:20:59,040
Landing as the second stage continues on

4567
03:21:04,610 --> 03:21:02,100
its Journey with the third event s ES1

4568
03:21:07,190 --> 03:21:04,620
or second stage engine start number one

4569
03:21:09,349 --> 03:21:07,200
where the mvac engine lights up and

4570
03:21:12,230 --> 03:21:09,359
Propel propels the second stage along

4571
03:21:14,929 --> 03:21:12,240
with our crew 6 astronauts into orbit

4572
03:21:17,090 --> 03:21:14,939
as stage two heads towards its targeted

4573
03:21:18,769 --> 03:21:17,100
drop-off orbit stage one will execute

4574
03:21:21,110 --> 03:21:18,779
two Burns in order to make its way back

4575
03:21:23,570 --> 03:21:21,120
down home on Earth the first is the

4576
03:21:25,250 --> 03:21:23,580
entry burn that's where three of the m1d

4577
03:21:27,469 --> 03:21:25,260
engines will reignite and then shut down

4578
03:21:29,510 --> 03:21:27,479
again now this helps to slow the stage

4579
03:21:31,490 --> 03:21:29,520
down in preparation for entry back into

4580
03:21:33,650 --> 03:21:31,500
the Earth's atmosphere and while the

4581
03:21:35,870 --> 03:21:33,660
first stage is heading back to Earth the

4582
03:21:37,429 --> 03:21:35,880
second stage will cut off its one Merlin

4583
03:21:39,769 --> 03:21:37,439
engine that was ignited right after

4584
03:21:41,510 --> 03:21:39,779
stage separation once this happens we'll

4585
03:21:43,250 --> 03:21:41,520
wait for a confirmation of a good

4586
03:21:45,469 --> 03:21:43,260
orbital insertion

4587
03:21:47,929 --> 03:21:45,479
about 90 seconds after Dragon gets into

4588
03:21:49,849 --> 03:21:47,939
orbit Falcon 9 will land back on Earth

4589
03:21:51,650 --> 03:21:49,859
The Landing bird is just a single engine

4590
03:21:54,170 --> 03:21:51,660
burn but it's powerful enough to bring

4591
03:21:56,389 --> 03:21:54,180
the vehicle speed down rapidly in order

4592
03:21:58,309 --> 03:21:56,399
to land on our drone ship at about nine

4593
03:21:59,690 --> 03:21:58,319
and a half minutes into the mission and

4594
03:22:02,090 --> 03:21:59,700
while the Falcon 9 first stage is

4595
03:22:04,190 --> 03:22:02,100
landing dragon is preparing to separate

4596
03:22:06,230 --> 03:22:04,200
from the second stage at about three

4597
03:22:08,389 --> 03:22:06,240
minutes after the second stage gets into

4598
03:22:10,190 --> 03:22:08,399
orbit we should have a great view of

4599
03:22:12,889 --> 03:22:10,200
dragon with his four-person crew

4600
03:22:14,870 --> 03:22:12,899
drifting away from the second stage once

4601
03:22:17,150 --> 03:22:14,880
dragon is a short distance away it'll

4602
03:22:19,490 --> 03:22:17,160
begin checking out its Draco maneuvering

4603
03:22:21,830 --> 03:22:19,500
thrusters to make sure Dragon continues

4604
03:22:23,570 --> 03:22:21,840
to increase separation distance from the

4605
03:22:25,309 --> 03:22:23,580
second stage it's worth noting that

4606
03:22:26,870 --> 03:22:25,319
these are not the Super Draco engines

4607
03:22:28,070 --> 03:22:26,880
that would be used during an abort

4608
03:22:29,990 --> 03:22:28,080
scenario

4609
03:22:32,210 --> 03:22:30,000
about 40 seconds after separation

4610
03:22:34,490 --> 03:22:32,220
dragon's nose cone deploy sequence will

4611
03:22:36,290 --> 03:22:34,500
begin it will take roughly four minutes

4612
03:22:38,450 --> 03:22:36,300
for the nose cone hooks to unlatch and

4613
03:22:40,130 --> 03:22:38,460
open exposing its guidance navigation

4614
03:22:42,050 --> 03:22:40,140
controls that will help dragon

4615
03:22:44,690 --> 03:22:42,060
autonomously fly to the space station

4616
03:22:46,670 --> 03:22:44,700
and lastly once the nose code is

4617
03:22:48,590 --> 03:22:46,680
deployed the remaining Draco thrusters

4618
03:22:51,050 --> 03:22:48,600
on the forward bulkhead will be checked

4619
03:22:53,269 --> 03:22:51,060
from there over the next 24-ish hours

4620
03:22:56,150 --> 03:22:53,279
Dragon will be in its Rendezvous and

4621
03:22:58,190 --> 03:22:56,160
approach phases undergoing a number of

4622
03:23:00,230 --> 03:22:58,200
phasing Burns as it makes its way to

4623
03:23:02,150 --> 03:23:00,240
station all that will be coming up soon

4624
03:23:03,830 --> 03:23:02,160
but for now let's check back in with

4625
03:23:07,010 --> 03:23:03,840
Courtney in Mission Control Houston

4626
03:23:10,910 --> 03:23:09,050
thanks Gary the flight controllers here

4627
03:23:12,830 --> 03:23:10,920
in Mission Control Houston are laser

4628
03:23:14,929 --> 03:23:12,840
focused on the onboard systems of the

4629
03:23:18,469 --> 03:23:14,939
space station ensuring it is ready to

4630
03:23:22,309 --> 03:23:20,030
they're also making sure communication

4631
03:23:24,290 --> 03:23:22,319
links between the station dragon and the

4632
03:23:25,849 --> 03:23:24,300
ground are working properly and the

4633
03:23:27,530 --> 03:23:25,859
consistency to this point is that

4634
03:23:29,570 --> 03:23:27,540
everything is proceeding right on track

4635
03:23:31,490 --> 03:23:29,580
teams here in Mission Control Houston

4636
03:23:32,990 --> 03:23:31,500
the team in Hawthorne and the astronauts

4637
03:23:34,490 --> 03:23:33,000
aboard the space station will monitor

4638
03:23:37,070 --> 03:23:34,500
the autonomous docking of the Dragon

4639
03:23:38,630 --> 03:23:37,080
spacecraft on Friday they'll perform a

4640
03:23:40,790 --> 03:23:38,640
series of leaked checks then work to

4641
03:23:42,710 --> 03:23:40,800
open the hatches on both the dragon side

4642
03:23:45,110 --> 03:23:42,720
and inside the station's pressurized

4643
03:23:46,550 --> 03:23:45,120
mating adapter we expect hatch opening

4644
03:23:48,710 --> 03:23:46,560
to take place about an hour and a half

4645
03:23:50,330 --> 03:23:48,720
after docking once on board the

4646
03:23:52,190 --> 03:23:50,340
astronauts will be greeted by the space

4647
03:23:53,929 --> 03:23:52,200
station crew and will then join in for

4648
03:23:55,849 --> 03:23:53,939
welcoming remarks for the new crew

4649
03:23:57,950 --> 03:23:55,859
members from there on out they will no

4650
03:23:59,570 --> 03:23:57,960
longer be referred to as Cruise 6 but

4651
03:24:01,130 --> 03:23:59,580
rather as flight Engineers of the

4652
03:24:03,229 --> 03:24:01,140
International Space Station until

4653
03:24:04,729 --> 03:24:03,239
they're returned back to Earth here in

4654
03:24:07,070 --> 03:24:04,739
Mission Control Houston flight director

4655
03:24:09,349 --> 03:24:07,080
Judd freeling is on Console overseeing

4656
03:24:11,150 --> 03:24:09,359
the team for launch and that's it from

4657
03:24:12,769 --> 03:24:11,160
here in Mission Control Houston so I'll

4658
03:24:15,290 --> 03:24:12,779
toss it back to the team in Florida

4659
03:24:16,969 --> 03:24:15,300
Daryl how's it looking we're looking

4660
03:24:19,309 --> 03:24:16,979
great out here Courtney and thank you

4661
03:24:21,349 --> 03:24:19,319
very much as we Cruise around the set

4662
03:24:22,370 --> 03:24:21,359
here our production team doing a great

4663
03:24:24,710 --> 03:24:22,380
job

4664
03:24:28,370 --> 03:24:24,720
showing us all the sights and the sounds

4665
03:24:31,309 --> 03:24:28,380
of the countdown of crew six liftoff is

4666
03:24:33,950 --> 03:24:31,319
at 12 34 a.m eastern time and if you're

4667
03:24:36,410 --> 03:24:33,960
just joining us well we're doing well

4668
03:24:38,929 --> 03:24:36,420
having a great countdown 24 minutes to

4669
03:24:40,550 --> 03:24:38,939
go for the sixth astronaut rotation

4670
03:24:43,070 --> 03:24:40,560
mission to the International Space

4671
03:24:46,190 --> 03:24:43,080
Station under NASA's commercial crew

4672
03:24:48,349 --> 03:24:46,200
program Commander Stephen Bowen pilot

4673
03:24:51,469 --> 03:24:48,359
Woody hoberg and Mission specialist

4674
03:24:53,389 --> 03:24:51,479
Sultan al-niadi and Andre fediev are

4675
03:24:56,929 --> 03:24:53,399
strapped into the seats as you can see

4676
03:25:00,290 --> 03:24:56,939
them here inside Dragon endeavor

4677
03:25:02,090 --> 03:25:00,300
a Falcon 9 rocket fueling operation well

4678
03:25:06,469 --> 03:25:02,100
underway

4679
03:25:08,389 --> 03:25:06,479
the launch Escape system is armed

4680
03:25:11,210 --> 03:25:08,399
that means dragon is prepared to launch

4681
03:25:16,610 --> 03:25:11,220
itself away from the Falcon 9 in case of

4682
03:25:22,250 --> 03:25:19,309
so far operations looking and sounding

4683
03:25:28,010 --> 03:25:25,309
and you can see on the rocket

4684
03:25:30,969 --> 03:25:28,020
we're filling her up

4685
03:25:34,130 --> 03:25:30,979
the condensation of the

4686
03:25:35,690 --> 03:25:34,140
warm humid Florida air down there shows

4687
03:25:39,229 --> 03:25:35,700
you that uh

4688
03:25:41,450 --> 03:25:39,239
well my guess would be about a third but

4689
03:25:43,670 --> 03:25:41,460
I have no actual

4690
03:25:45,530 --> 03:25:43,680
uh Telemetry to tell me that just going

4691
03:25:48,110 --> 03:25:45,540
by uh the condensation coming off the

4692
03:25:49,610 --> 03:25:48,120
rocket it really super chills the skin

4693
03:25:52,429 --> 03:25:49,620
on the outside of the rocket and then

4694
03:25:54,170 --> 03:25:52,439
that uh that uh you know condenses the

4695
03:25:55,309 --> 03:25:54,180
air in the atmosphere the water that's

4696
03:25:56,870 --> 03:25:55,319
in the air

4697
03:25:58,729 --> 03:25:56,880
and it really is something to look at

4698
03:26:00,050 --> 03:25:58,739
once it's ready to go all the way up and

4699
03:26:02,389 --> 03:26:00,060
down the rocket

4700
03:26:04,670 --> 03:26:02,399
and and the reason we make it they make

4701
03:26:05,990 --> 03:26:04,680
it super cold is uh you know if there's

4702
03:26:07,070 --> 03:26:06,000
probably let's see third or fourth

4703
03:26:08,210 --> 03:26:07,080
graders out there I know that's what my

4704
03:26:10,250 --> 03:26:08,220
kids are learning about it's like when

4705
03:26:11,389 --> 03:26:10,260
something's really cold it gets dense so

4706
03:26:13,370 --> 03:26:11,399
you can get more of it in there so

4707
03:26:14,929 --> 03:26:13,380
that's why it's important you every drop

4708
03:26:17,030 --> 03:26:14,939
of gas matters when you're trying to get

4709
03:26:19,370 --> 03:26:17,040
to orbit every you want as much margin

4710
03:26:21,769 --> 03:26:19,380
John was talking to them before about uh

4711
03:26:23,090 --> 03:26:21,779
why we build the timelines we do and you

4712
03:26:25,490 --> 03:26:23,100
know we always hope everything goes

4713
03:26:27,349 --> 03:26:25,500
nominally but we train for all kinds of

4714
03:26:28,309 --> 03:26:27,359
contingencies and so

4715
03:26:30,410 --> 03:26:28,319
um you know we've been talking about

4716
03:26:31,969 --> 03:26:30,420
launcher launch escapes but the the next

4717
03:26:33,950 --> 03:26:31,979
phase is Rhonda with the space station

4718
03:26:35,330 --> 03:26:33,960
so we protect for you know a problem

4719
03:26:37,309 --> 03:26:35,340
with either the station or the capsule

4720
03:26:39,769 --> 03:26:37,319
and having to you know back away and

4721
03:26:42,469 --> 03:26:39,779
come back again in 24 hours and so all

4722
03:26:44,750 --> 03:26:42,479
that requires prop and gas and the

4723
03:26:46,849 --> 03:26:44,760
further and the higher the F9 can get

4724
03:26:48,889 --> 03:26:46,859
the dragon the more options we have so

4725
03:26:50,990 --> 03:26:48,899
that's why that's why they chill the gas

4726
03:26:52,910 --> 03:26:51,000
you heard calls earlier about the cryo

4727
03:26:55,729 --> 03:26:52,920
helium um and like they talked about it

4728
03:26:58,550 --> 03:26:55,739
out at Hawthorne that means that that we

4729
03:27:00,590 --> 03:26:58,560
have enough gas to pressurize the tanks

4730
03:27:02,450 --> 03:27:00,600
and then next you'll start to here and

4731
03:27:04,969 --> 03:27:02,460
probably in about another minute they'll

4732
03:27:07,130 --> 03:27:04,979
start talking about stage two fuel being

4733
03:27:08,630 --> 03:27:07,140
loaded and so you'll hear calls you'll

4734
03:27:10,190 --> 03:27:08,640
talk hear them talk about stage two and

4735
03:27:12,170 --> 03:27:10,200
stage one this is two stage rocket so

4736
03:27:14,269 --> 03:27:12,180
there's Fuel and oxidizer for both the

4737
03:27:15,710 --> 03:27:14,279
stages the first stage like they

4738
03:27:17,269 --> 03:27:15,720
described having the nine engines and

4739
03:27:19,070 --> 03:27:17,279
the second stage having one but both of

4740
03:27:21,110 --> 03:27:19,080
those require have separate tanks for

4741
03:27:22,370 --> 03:27:21,120
the fuel and oxidizer and they'll you'll

4742
03:27:25,130 --> 03:27:22,380
hear them calling those out because

4743
03:27:26,570 --> 03:27:25,140
again the crew probably can't as much

4744
03:27:28,849 --> 03:27:26,580
hear it like the same way they hear the

4745
03:27:31,429 --> 03:27:28,859
super Draco valves but you can hear uh

4746
03:27:32,929 --> 03:27:31,439
sort of some creaking and some noises uh

4747
03:27:35,150 --> 03:27:32,939
some definitely some vibrations so

4748
03:27:36,830 --> 03:27:35,160
getting a call before that happens just

4749
03:27:38,750 --> 03:27:36,840
kind of reassures them that that sound

4750
03:27:40,309 --> 03:27:38,760
is expected and gives them a reference

4751
03:27:42,229 --> 03:27:40,319
point on the time that they're following

4752
03:27:46,610 --> 03:27:42,239
we're about 37 seconds away from

4753
03:27:48,410 --> 03:27:46,620
completing stage two rp1 load

4754
03:27:49,250 --> 03:27:48,420
in the meantime let's tell you about the

4755
03:27:53,990 --> 03:27:49,260
crew

4756
03:27:55,969 --> 03:27:54,000
Stephen G Bowen he hails from Cohasset

4757
03:27:58,429 --> 03:27:55,979
Massachusetts married with three

4758
03:28:00,889 --> 03:27:58,439
children holds the title of first U.S

4759
03:28:02,990 --> 03:28:00,899
Navy submarine officer to be selected as

4760
03:28:05,150 --> 03:28:03,000
a mission specialist by NASA Captain

4761
03:28:06,530 --> 03:28:05,160
Bowen is also a veteran of NASA space

4762
03:28:11,389 --> 03:28:06,540
flights including the space shuttle

4763
03:28:13,550 --> 03:28:11,399
flights on sts-126 132 and 133 the only

4764
03:28:16,190 --> 03:28:13,560
astronaut to ever go consecutive

4765
03:28:18,469 --> 03:28:16,200
back-to-back shuttles sitting next to

4766
03:28:21,050 --> 03:28:18,479
Stephen is pilot Warren Woody hoberg the

4767
03:28:22,910 --> 03:28:21,060
37 year old from Pittsburgh

4768
03:28:25,130 --> 03:28:22,920
he studied Aeronautics and astronautics

4769
03:28:26,630 --> 03:28:25,140
from MIT before getting a doctorate in

4770
03:28:28,910 --> 03:28:26,640
electrical engineering and a computer

4771
03:28:31,190 --> 03:28:28,920
science degree from the University of

4772
03:28:33,170 --> 03:28:31,200
California Berkeley during grad school

4773
03:28:36,110 --> 03:28:33,180
Holberg worked as an EMT with the

4774
03:28:38,630 --> 03:28:36,120
Yosemite search and rescue crew six will

4775
03:28:41,269 --> 03:28:38,640
be rp1 load complete and there's that

4776
03:28:43,610 --> 03:28:41,279
load complete stage two is in the books

4777
03:28:48,410 --> 03:28:43,620
we'll load it up and now you can see the

4778
03:28:53,210 --> 03:28:50,389
talking about hoberg

4779
03:28:55,250 --> 03:28:53,220
this flight will be his first flight

4780
03:28:57,410 --> 03:28:55,260
since NASA selected him to be an

4781
03:29:00,410 --> 03:28:57,420
astronaut along with rajachary's class

4782
03:29:02,150 --> 03:29:00,420
in 2017 the turtles

4783
03:29:04,429 --> 03:29:02,160
in the role of mission specialist is

4784
03:29:06,050 --> 03:29:04,439
astronaut sultan al-niadi

4785
03:29:07,790 --> 03:29:06,060
he was chosen by the Muhammad bin

4786
03:29:09,849 --> 03:29:07,800
Rasheed space center of the United Arab

4787
03:29:12,889 --> 03:29:09,859
Emirates to be a part of expedition's

4788
03:29:15,590 --> 03:29:12,899
6869 father of five spent most of his

4789
03:29:18,050 --> 03:29:15,600
life in Alain in Abu Dhabi but in 2020

4790
03:29:20,210 --> 03:29:18,060
traded that in for Astronaut training in

4791
03:29:23,210 --> 03:29:20,220
Houston at NASA's Johnson Space Center

4792
03:29:24,410 --> 03:29:23,220
this will be his first trip to space to

4793
03:29:26,389 --> 03:29:24,420
space

4794
03:29:29,450 --> 03:29:26,399
and it's also the first trip

4795
03:29:32,510 --> 03:29:29,460
for second mission specialist Ross

4796
03:29:34,190 --> 03:29:32,520
Cosmos Cosmonaut Andre fediev he will be

4797
03:29:36,110 --> 03:29:34,200
working to monitor the spacecraft during

4798
03:29:37,190 --> 03:29:36,120
the dynamic launch and re-entry phases

4799
03:29:39,410 --> 03:29:37,200
of flight

4800
03:29:42,650 --> 03:29:39,420
he will be a flight engineer

4801
03:29:46,010 --> 03:29:42,660
for expedition 68.

4802
03:29:48,290 --> 03:29:46,020
just turned 42 years of age each of

4803
03:29:50,269 --> 03:29:48,300
these four crew members will be part of

4804
03:29:51,950 --> 03:29:50,279
expedition 68 once they arrive at the

4805
03:29:56,990 --> 03:29:51,960
International Space Station

4806
03:29:57,000 --> 03:30:03,710
we had strong back chill that began

4807
03:30:03,720 --> 03:30:07,250
and coming up in just a few minutes

4808
03:30:15,530 --> 03:30:10,070
we'll start loading liquid oxygen onto

4809
03:30:19,429 --> 03:30:17,870
and I think a great Testament to the

4810
03:30:21,469 --> 03:30:19,439
international Partnerships of this

4811
03:30:24,410 --> 03:30:21,479
program half the crew is you know

4812
03:30:26,990 --> 03:30:24,420
International Sultan being the first uh

4813
03:30:28,610 --> 03:30:27,000
UAE astronaut to launch on a U.S vehicle

4814
03:30:30,050 --> 03:30:28,620
from the U.S to have trained at Johnson

4815
03:30:32,690 --> 03:30:30,060
Space Center

4816
03:30:33,950 --> 03:30:32,700
um an amazing uh you know completion of

4817
03:30:35,929 --> 03:30:33,960
the partnership that started several

4818
03:30:38,269 --> 03:30:35,939
years ago then taking that now all the

4819
03:30:41,389 --> 03:30:38,279
way to completion and just great to see

4820
03:30:43,849 --> 03:30:41,399
you know NASA and space exploration

4821
03:30:45,769 --> 03:30:43,859
being just this great unifier for the

4822
03:30:46,969 --> 03:30:45,779
world especially is you know there's low

4823
03:30:49,210 --> 03:30:46,979
earth orbit but then we look beyond that

4824
03:30:51,530 --> 03:30:49,220
to Artemis and Mars and just the

4825
03:30:53,150 --> 03:30:51,540
collaboration and the work to do such

4826
03:30:55,250 --> 03:30:53,160
hard things and really pulling together

4827
03:30:57,410 --> 03:30:55,260
the best of of all our all the nations

4828
03:31:00,229 --> 03:30:57,420
and the partnership of those Nations

4829
03:31:01,370 --> 03:31:00,239
rises above all else and that's uh it's

4830
03:31:03,769 --> 03:31:01,380
impressive

4831
03:31:06,290 --> 03:31:03,779
the camaraderie of the crews in space

4832
03:31:07,670 --> 03:31:06,300
with their International backgrounds

4833
03:31:09,110 --> 03:31:07,680
so that venting so we talked about

4834
03:31:11,330 --> 03:31:09,120
there's two things happening there it's

4835
03:31:12,950 --> 03:31:11,340
Basics F9 is proceeding with prop load

4836
03:31:17,750 --> 03:31:12,960
and we're tracking no issues with dragon

4837
03:31:21,170 --> 03:31:18,530
foreign

4838
03:31:22,849 --> 03:31:21,180
copies

4839
03:31:24,469 --> 03:31:22,859
so update from the core that's on track

4840
03:31:26,090 --> 03:31:24,479
so we talked about the condensation a

4841
03:31:28,070 --> 03:31:26,100
few times there's also the venting so

4842
03:31:31,610 --> 03:31:28,080
two different processes the condensation

4843
03:31:33,170 --> 03:31:31,620
is the super chilled fuel cooling these

4844
03:31:35,870 --> 03:31:33,180
the metal and the skin around it the

4845
03:31:37,610 --> 03:31:35,880
venting is because it's super cold as it

4846
03:31:39,950 --> 03:31:37,620
heats up on the inside just from the air

4847
03:31:41,750 --> 03:31:39,960
temperature you know essentially working

4848
03:31:43,910 --> 03:31:41,760
its way in there it Vents and so that's

4849
03:31:46,010 --> 03:31:43,920
just like a pot boiling and just like

4850
03:31:47,809 --> 03:31:46,020
you would you know lift the lid off a

4851
03:31:48,769 --> 03:31:47,819
tea kettle to let the pressure out uh

4852
03:31:49,849 --> 03:31:48,779
this is the same thing you're seeing

4853
03:31:50,809 --> 03:31:49,859
happen there so that's what's happening

4854
03:31:53,450 --> 03:31:50,819
kind of from the middle of the screen

4855
03:31:55,370 --> 03:31:53,460
yeah and on a calm night like tonight

4856
03:31:57,650 --> 03:31:55,380
the winds have totally died down you can

4857
03:32:00,170 --> 03:31:57,660
see it as it Cascades down like a

4858
03:32:02,269 --> 03:32:00,180
waterfall coming off the middle of uh

4859
03:32:04,729 --> 03:32:02,279
the strong back there I want to make a

4860
03:32:07,610 --> 03:32:04,739
quick note about the the radio

4861
03:32:09,769 --> 03:32:07,620
and how you can hear if you're on a

4862
03:32:11,830 --> 03:32:09,779
local amateur radio on the VHF radio

4863
03:32:14,690 --> 03:32:11,840
frequency turn into

4864
03:32:16,510 --> 03:32:14,700
146.940 megahertz and UHF radio

4865
03:32:18,950 --> 03:32:16,520
frequency

4866
03:32:24,349 --> 03:32:18,960
444.925 megahertz on the FM mode you can

4867
03:32:24,359 --> 03:32:28,969
and there goes our stage two locks load

4868
03:32:36,710 --> 03:32:31,309
on a beautiful night

4869
03:32:40,309 --> 03:32:38,510
for stage one

4870
03:32:41,809 --> 03:32:40,319
that's going to continue to load and

4871
03:32:44,150 --> 03:32:41,819
we'll see that go all the way down to T

4872
03:32:47,690 --> 03:32:44,160
minus six minutes

4873
03:32:51,469 --> 03:32:49,790
the rp1 load

4874
03:32:53,750 --> 03:32:51,479
in terms of locks that will continue

4875
03:32:56,630 --> 03:32:53,760
until about T minus three to two minutes

4876
03:33:01,969 --> 03:32:56,640
on the liquid oxygen side a lot more

4877
03:33:05,510 --> 03:33:04,010
hey let's throw up a quick social media

4878
03:33:09,590 --> 03:33:05,520
question what do you say Raj sounds good

4879
03:33:12,349 --> 03:33:09,600
what do we got here at jse Garen asks oh

4880
03:33:15,170 --> 03:33:12,359
I am nine years old and wants to know if

4881
03:33:16,969 --> 03:33:15,180
you can see airplanes on the ISS I have

4882
03:33:19,190 --> 03:33:16,979
never heard that question so actually uh

4883
03:33:20,450 --> 03:33:19,200
Megan MacArthur had a cool post where

4884
03:33:21,830 --> 03:33:20,460
she took a picture of the ground and you

4885
03:33:24,530 --> 03:33:21,840
can see the contrails of a plane so you

4886
03:33:26,450 --> 03:33:24,540
can't see a plane if it's not what we

4887
03:33:28,309 --> 03:33:26,460
call conning meaning contrails you can

4888
03:33:30,110 --> 03:33:28,319
if you can find the contrails and you

4889
03:33:31,670 --> 03:33:30,120
can follow it back to find the plane but

4890
03:33:35,030 --> 03:33:31,680
it's super hard to find an actual

4891
03:33:36,229 --> 03:33:35,040
airplane that's not in the contrails we

4892
03:33:37,429 --> 03:33:36,239
also spent some time on crew three

4893
03:33:39,590 --> 03:33:37,439
trying to see who could one-up each

4894
03:33:41,450 --> 03:33:39,600
other to find ships so you can cheat and

4895
03:33:42,769 --> 03:33:41,460
look around the Panama Canal to see if

4896
03:33:44,150 --> 03:33:42,779
you could find ships there but you need

4897
03:33:45,710 --> 03:33:44,160
binoculars to help yourself but if you

4898
03:33:47,150 --> 03:33:45,720
know where to look uh or along the

4899
03:33:48,650 --> 03:33:47,160
shipping lanes you can usually find some

4900
03:33:50,750 --> 03:33:48,660
from ships and then airplanes if you

4901
03:33:52,190 --> 03:33:50,760
look around uh like the places like over

4902
03:33:53,750 --> 03:33:52,200
the Atlantic where you can look for

4903
03:33:55,070 --> 03:33:53,760
contrails and find planes but absolutely

4904
03:33:57,050 --> 03:33:55,080
you can see them what a great answer

4905
03:34:01,309 --> 03:33:57,060
didn't know that thank you Raj let's

4906
03:34:05,570 --> 03:34:03,469
thanks Daryl everything's still looking

4907
03:34:08,269 --> 03:34:05,580
good for launch of Falcon 9 and dragon

4908
03:34:10,729 --> 03:34:08,279
Endeavor just under 15 minutes from now

4909
03:34:12,769 --> 03:34:10,739
now for those just tuning in Falcon 9

4910
03:34:15,590 --> 03:34:12,779
began propellant load at T minus 35

4911
03:34:18,530 --> 03:34:15,600
minutes around T minus 20 minutes Falcon

4912
03:34:21,349 --> 03:34:18,540
9 completed loading of rp1 fuel on the

4913
03:34:23,769 --> 03:34:21,359
second stage fuel loading on the first

4914
03:34:28,490 --> 03:34:23,779
stage remains underway

4915
03:34:30,670 --> 03:34:28,500
and it is approximately uh

4916
03:34:33,769 --> 03:34:30,680
80 percent full

4917
03:34:36,650 --> 03:34:33,779
it will finish around T minus six

4918
03:34:39,469 --> 03:34:36,660
minutes Falcon 9 is also underway with

4919
03:34:41,450 --> 03:34:39,479
loading of densified liquid oxygen and

4920
03:34:44,030 --> 03:34:41,460
that will wrap up at T minus three

4921
03:34:46,790 --> 03:34:44,040
minutes for the first stage and T minus

4922
03:34:48,650 --> 03:34:46,800
two minutes for the second stage coming

4923
03:34:50,870 --> 03:34:48,660
up we'll perform checkouts of the thrust

4924
03:34:53,990 --> 03:34:50,880
Vector controllers a procedure called

4925
03:34:55,910 --> 03:34:54,000
TVC Wiggles well command Falcon 9 to

4926
03:34:57,830 --> 03:34:55,920
activate those thrust Vector controllers

4927
03:35:00,170 --> 03:34:57,840
and actually wiggle the engines a couple

4928
03:35:02,210 --> 03:35:00,180
degrees this verifies that those engines

4929
03:35:04,309 --> 03:35:02,220
will be able to move while in Flight

4930
03:35:06,170 --> 03:35:04,319
which is how Falcon 9 steers itself

4931
03:35:07,910 --> 03:35:06,180
during the ascent phase

4932
03:35:10,010 --> 03:35:07,920
dragon mission director and team

4933
03:35:11,929 --> 03:35:10,020
reporting no issues communication

4934
03:35:14,330 --> 03:35:11,939
checkouts are complete the crew access

4935
03:35:16,729 --> 03:35:14,340
arm is retracted and the launchescape

4936
03:35:18,650 --> 03:35:16,739
system is armed and as you can see there

4937
03:35:20,870 --> 03:35:18,660
on the right hand side of your screen

4938
03:35:24,170 --> 03:35:20,880
the crew is strapped in and ready to go

4939
03:35:26,870 --> 03:35:24,180
to space everybody looks pretty calm and

4940
03:35:30,410 --> 03:35:26,880
chill uh you know given that they are

4941
03:35:32,450 --> 03:35:30,420
going to space in uh 13 minutes

4942
03:35:34,550 --> 03:35:32,460
final instructions to the crew will come

4943
03:35:36,229 --> 03:35:34,560
at T minus 10 minutes the crew displays

4944
03:35:38,630 --> 03:35:36,239
will be configured for launch which give

4945
03:35:40,610 --> 03:35:38,640
the crew insight into how the launch is

4946
03:35:42,050 --> 03:35:40,620
proceeding and provides constant updates

4947
03:35:44,630 --> 03:35:42,060
on Vehicle Health

4948
03:35:46,670 --> 03:35:44,640
at T minus five minutes will then be in

4949
03:35:49,190 --> 03:35:46,680
terminal count and dragon will

4950
03:35:50,990 --> 03:35:49,200
transition to internal power we'll hear

4951
03:35:53,030 --> 03:35:51,000
continued status call outs from SpaceX

4952
03:35:54,170 --> 03:35:53,040
mission control as we get closer to

4953
03:35:56,750 --> 03:35:54,180
liftoff

4954
03:35:59,450 --> 03:35:56,760
the ranges go all secured air and sea

4955
03:36:02,690 --> 03:35:59,460
space remain clear and as you can see

4956
03:36:05,570 --> 03:36:02,700
weather remains gorgeous and everything

4957
03:36:08,570 --> 03:36:05,580
Still Remains inbound for the launch

4958
03:36:11,330 --> 03:36:08,580
criteria so all in all Falcon 9 and

4959
03:36:14,150 --> 03:36:11,340
dragon Endeavor all systems remain go

4960
03:36:18,889 --> 03:36:14,160
for launch in just 12 minutes and 34

4961
03:36:22,370 --> 03:36:20,630
all right thank you very much Kate and

4962
03:36:24,590 --> 03:36:22,380
take a look at this picture before their

4963
03:36:25,969 --> 03:36:24,600
flight crew six got a picture with what

4964
03:36:27,769 --> 03:36:25,979
was supposed to be their booster

4965
03:36:29,990 --> 03:36:27,779
actually got swapped out for a brand new

4966
03:36:32,330 --> 03:36:30,000
booster but anytime you get that close

4967
03:36:35,269 --> 03:36:32,340
to the hardware it's a cool thing brand

4968
03:36:37,370 --> 03:36:35,279
new booster launching tonight

4969
03:36:39,710 --> 03:36:37,380
and at the time Falcon 9 and dragon

4970
03:36:41,510 --> 03:36:39,720
launches

4971
03:36:42,889 --> 03:36:41,520
the International Space Station which is

4972
03:36:43,969 --> 03:36:42,899
being tracked right here by Mission

4973
03:36:47,330 --> 03:36:43,979
Control

4974
03:36:50,090 --> 03:36:47,340
will be 260 statute miles over the

4975
03:36:53,929 --> 03:36:50,100
Bristol Channel Southwest of Cardiff

4976
03:36:58,790 --> 03:36:56,030
crew six once they get off the ground

4977
03:37:02,990 --> 03:36:58,800
we'll spend the next 25 hours chasing

4978
03:37:07,729 --> 03:37:06,050
for rendezvous at 1 11 A.M eastern time

4979
03:37:10,250 --> 03:37:07,739
tomorrow

4980
03:37:12,229 --> 03:37:10,260
be Friday

4981
03:37:14,090 --> 03:37:12,239
and we'll have live coverage on NASA TV

4982
03:37:17,750 --> 03:37:14,100
of docking and the crew 6 welcome

4983
03:37:20,090 --> 03:37:17,760
ceremony at 11 PM Eastern Time

4984
03:37:21,830 --> 03:37:20,100
tonight

4985
03:37:23,150 --> 03:37:21,840
final thoughts Raja the episode get

4986
03:37:24,650 --> 03:37:23,160
ready to lift off yeah so right here

4987
03:37:26,630 --> 03:37:24,660
they're uh 10 minutes they'll probably

4988
03:37:28,790 --> 03:37:26,640
say some thank yous to the ground a lot

4989
03:37:30,229 --> 03:37:28,800
of people got them here uh they're gonna

4990
03:37:31,849 --> 03:37:30,239
see them messing with the displays so

4991
03:37:33,170 --> 03:37:31,859
Woody and Steve will be putting up

4992
03:37:34,550 --> 03:37:33,180
what's called Ford views on the outside

4993
03:37:35,809 --> 03:37:34,560
displays for the mission Specialists can

4994
03:37:37,969 --> 03:37:35,819
monitor the parameters that's how they

4995
03:37:38,929 --> 03:37:37,979
monitor anything that would uh the

4996
03:37:40,070 --> 03:37:38,939
performance is doing in the center

4997
03:37:42,110 --> 03:37:40,080
display they'll bring up the event

4998
03:37:43,969 --> 03:37:42,120
details that show the launch and you'll

4999
03:37:45,410 --> 03:37:43,979
see them put their hands down once they

5000
03:37:46,910 --> 03:37:45,420
get closer launch and they'll have this

5001
03:37:48,229 --> 03:37:46,920
display up so they can basically watch

5002
03:37:49,370 --> 03:37:48,239
they'll have everything configured and

5003
03:37:50,389 --> 03:37:49,380
that's what they talk about configuring

5004
03:37:51,769 --> 03:37:50,399
for launch so that you don't have to

5005
03:37:53,870 --> 03:37:51,779
touch it during the launch itself

5006
03:37:55,610 --> 03:37:53,880
Colonel Charlie putting us in the seat

5007
03:37:56,990 --> 03:37:55,620
of the astronauts with exactly what

5008
03:37:58,490 --> 03:37:57,000
they're doing thank you so much

5009
03:38:00,110 --> 03:37:58,500
appreciate it and one more thing I want

5010
03:38:01,729 --> 03:38:00,120
to say I don't know Raja I have a

5011
03:38:03,530 --> 03:38:01,739
feeling there's love in the air not

5012
03:38:05,030 --> 03:38:03,540
going to give it away but this just

5013
03:38:06,110 --> 03:38:05,040
feels like there's love in there you got

5014
03:38:07,490 --> 03:38:06,120
to stay tuned to find out more about

5015
03:38:10,429 --> 03:38:07,500
that for now we'll turn it over to Gary

5016
03:38:12,229 --> 03:38:10,439
and Kate at SpaceX headquarters in

5017
03:38:17,110 --> 03:38:12,239
Hawthorne California take us through the

5018
03:38:22,130 --> 03:38:19,490
thanks Daryl that's right we're exactly

5019
03:38:25,670 --> 03:38:22,140
T minus 10 and a half minutes until

5020
03:38:28,550 --> 03:38:25,680
liftoff of crew six uh as you can see

5021
03:38:30,590 --> 03:38:28,560
there on your screen Falcon 9 is

5022
03:38:32,929 --> 03:38:30,600
underway with propellant loading as

5023
03:38:35,809 --> 03:38:32,939
indicated uh by those white clouds

5024
03:38:38,269 --> 03:38:35,819
forming around the vehicle the fuel

5025
03:38:40,969 --> 03:38:38,279
loading is complete on the second stage

5026
03:38:43,910 --> 03:38:40,979
locks load remains underway it's about

5027
03:38:46,429 --> 03:38:43,920
40 percent full on the second stage

5028
03:38:48,290 --> 03:38:46,439
locks load also underway SpaceX

5029
03:38:53,030 --> 03:38:48,300
confirmed crew displays configured for

5030
03:38:58,370 --> 03:38:55,190
SpaceX Dragon crew to slaves are

5031
03:39:02,750 --> 03:39:01,010
copy that Steve and once again on behalf

5032
03:39:04,849 --> 03:39:02,760
of the entire SpaceX team we're honored

5033
03:39:06,410 --> 03:39:04,859
to have you aboard Dragon capsule

5034
03:39:08,330 --> 03:39:06,420
Endeavor on its next trip to the

5035
03:39:10,849 --> 03:39:08,340
International Space Station we wish you

5036
03:39:16,130 --> 03:39:10,859
a great Mission good luck godspeed and

5037
03:39:19,309 --> 03:39:17,510
everyone outside

5038
03:39:24,530 --> 03:39:19,319
the

5039
03:39:26,690 --> 03:39:24,540
ready for launch

5040
03:39:28,610 --> 03:39:26,700
really want to thank everyone and

5041
03:39:30,469 --> 03:39:28,620
appreciate the great call much

5042
03:39:32,950 --> 03:39:30,479
appreciated call for the scrub the other

5043
03:39:35,090 --> 03:39:32,960
night it was a great

5044
03:39:36,590 --> 03:39:35,100
learning opportunity for the crew and I

5045
03:39:38,450 --> 03:39:36,600
think for the teams

5046
03:39:40,190 --> 03:39:38,460
and so

5047
03:39:50,510 --> 03:39:40,200
once more to the preach dear friends

5048
03:39:55,130 --> 03:39:52,849
some nice words there between the crew

5049
03:39:58,429 --> 03:39:55,140
as you see there on your screen and

5050
03:40:01,250 --> 03:39:58,439
SpaceX core located here at SpaceX

5051
03:40:03,530 --> 03:40:01,260
mission control which a live view there

5052
03:40:05,990 --> 03:40:03,540
on your screen as you can tell by

5053
03:40:08,630 --> 03:40:06,000
perhaps the the ambient noise around me

5054
03:40:11,090 --> 03:40:08,640
the energy is starting to grow in

5055
03:40:13,670 --> 03:40:11,100
anticipation for launch coming up about

5056
03:40:15,530 --> 03:40:13,680
eight and a half minutes from now

5057
03:40:18,710 --> 03:40:15,540
that's right the energy is high here

5058
03:40:21,050 --> 03:40:18,720
Kate not that T-minus 10 minute Mark we

5059
03:40:22,370 --> 03:40:21,060
heard the good luck in godspeed on the

5060
03:40:24,950 --> 03:40:22,380
teams here in Mission Control in

5061
03:40:27,830 --> 03:40:24,960
Hawthorne where that crowd is gathering

5062
03:40:29,570 --> 03:40:27,840
Meanwhile we're tracking the loading of

5063
03:40:31,670 --> 03:40:29,580
fuel and oxidizer on the first and

5064
03:40:33,290 --> 03:40:31,680
second stage second stage filled with

5065
03:40:35,510 --> 03:40:33,300
fuel right now

5066
03:40:37,790 --> 03:40:35,520
continuing to fill with oxidizer it'll

5067
03:40:40,190 --> 03:40:37,800
be the last of the tanks to fill stage

5068
03:40:41,870 --> 03:40:40,200
one continuing to be underway at the 10

5069
03:40:45,050 --> 03:40:41,880
minute Mark you heard that call for

5070
03:40:47,269 --> 03:40:45,060
configuring the uh crew displays for

5071
03:40:49,490 --> 03:40:47,279
launch that was confirmed

5072
03:40:51,170 --> 03:40:49,500
at the T-minus 10 Minute Market also is

5073
03:40:54,110 --> 03:40:51,180
a point where Falcon 9 launched commit

5074
03:40:56,150 --> 03:40:54,120
criteria gets checked by the computers

5075
03:40:57,889 --> 03:40:56,160
past that milestone

5076
03:40:59,929 --> 03:40:57,899
now we're counting down to the next

5077
03:41:02,150 --> 03:40:59,939
Milestone at T minus seven minutes which

5078
03:41:03,469 --> 03:41:02,160
is setting up for engine chill

5079
03:41:05,990 --> 03:41:03,479
that's right we should hear that call

5080
03:41:08,210 --> 03:41:06,000
out in about 44 seconds

5081
03:41:12,590 --> 03:41:08,220
P minus seven minutes we will actually

5082
03:41:14,389 --> 03:41:12,600
open up the pre-valves to the m1d

5083
03:41:17,389 --> 03:41:14,399
engines those nine engines at the base

5084
03:41:18,889 --> 03:41:17,399
of the first stage that will allow a

5085
03:41:21,950 --> 03:41:18,899
little bit of that super chilled

5086
03:41:24,769 --> 03:41:21,960
densified liquid oxygen to flow into the

5087
03:41:27,170 --> 03:41:24,779
hardware that those turbo pumps and that

5088
03:41:29,450 --> 03:41:27,180
basically helps prepare the hardware

5089
03:41:31,969 --> 03:41:29,460
from a thermal standpoint or a

5090
03:41:35,269 --> 03:41:31,979
temperature standpoint for that full

5091
03:41:38,389 --> 03:41:35,279
flow of super chilled liquid oxygen so

5092
03:41:41,450 --> 03:41:38,399
we basically open up the pre-valves and

5093
03:41:43,790 --> 03:41:41,460
a little bit of that locks Flows In

5094
03:41:45,710 --> 03:41:43,800
and helps cool the hardware down in

5095
03:41:49,910 --> 03:41:45,720
preparation for a full flow of liquid

5096
03:41:49,920 --> 03:41:54,410
oxygen engine chill has started

5097
03:41:58,130 --> 03:41:56,330
as expected there's that call out for

5098
03:42:00,530 --> 03:41:58,140
that engine chill indicating the

5099
03:42:04,670 --> 03:42:00,540
pre-valves are open and the engines are

5100
03:42:09,050 --> 03:42:07,849
now under six minutes 45 seconds from

5101
03:42:11,990 --> 03:42:09,060
launch

5102
03:42:14,630 --> 03:42:12,000
again we're continuing to fuel the

5103
03:42:16,490 --> 03:42:14,640
Falcon 9 rocket stage two filled with

5104
03:42:17,990 --> 03:42:16,500
the rp1

5105
03:42:19,969 --> 03:42:18,000
kerosene

5106
03:42:22,429 --> 03:42:19,979
at the T-minus six minute Mark we should

5107
03:42:24,290 --> 03:42:22,439
hear a call out that the stage one RP

5108
03:42:26,750 --> 03:42:24,300
load is complete they're just topping

5109
03:42:29,210 --> 03:42:26,760
that off liquid oxygen on both the first

5110
03:42:31,910 --> 03:42:29,220
and second stages come next

5111
03:42:33,590 --> 03:42:31,920
and there's that confirmation

5112
03:42:36,590 --> 03:42:33,600
we're counting down to T minus five

5113
03:42:38,269 --> 03:42:36,600
minutes at this point at T minus

5114
03:42:41,630 --> 03:42:38,279
T minus five

5115
03:42:43,910 --> 03:42:41,640
the dragon continue is configured for

5116
03:42:48,229 --> 03:42:43,920
terminal count

5117
03:42:50,090 --> 03:42:48,239
dragon is switched to internal power

5118
03:42:55,610 --> 03:42:50,100
right now receiving power from umbilical

5119
03:43:01,250 --> 03:42:58,130
also at uh just under five minutes we'll

5120
03:43:03,050 --> 03:43:01,260
be waiting for strong back retract

5121
03:43:05,570 --> 03:43:03,060
the arm that's currently propping the

5122
03:43:07,969 --> 03:43:05,580
Falcon 9 and dragon up we'll see the

5123
03:43:09,950 --> 03:43:07,979
clamp arms start to open and the strong

5124
03:43:12,170 --> 03:43:09,960
back itself will tilt about two degrees

5125
03:43:13,550 --> 03:43:12,180
off from where it is now at a 90 degree

5126
03:43:16,429 --> 03:43:13,560
position

5127
03:43:22,130 --> 03:43:16,439
just a little off and then it'll get out

5128
03:43:26,090 --> 03:43:24,650
then of course comes the uh after the

5129
03:43:28,969 --> 03:43:26,100
strong back retracts comes the

5130
03:43:30,889 --> 03:43:28,979
completion of liquid oxygen uh

5131
03:43:32,150 --> 03:43:30,899
loading on both the first and second

5132
03:43:36,229 --> 03:43:32,160
stage

5133
03:43:37,910 --> 03:43:36,239
for now T minus five minutes 15 seconds

5134
03:43:40,670 --> 03:43:37,920
we're gonna stand by for that call of

5135
03:43:43,490 --> 03:43:40,680
configuring for terminal count

5136
03:43:48,170 --> 03:43:43,500
six in their seated positions and ready

5137
03:43:53,150 --> 03:43:50,330
dragon is in configure for a terminal

5138
03:43:53,160 --> 03:43:58,969
s are pressurizing for strong baby Trek

5139
03:44:02,330 --> 03:44:00,290
all right and we heard both of those

5140
03:44:04,910 --> 03:44:02,340
calls Dragon onboard computers are going

5141
03:44:07,130 --> 03:44:04,920
to take control of the vehicle

5142
03:44:08,510 --> 03:44:07,140
should be seeing the clamp arm at the

5143
03:44:10,309 --> 03:44:08,520
very top

5144
03:44:12,110 --> 03:44:10,319
of the second stage right underneath

5145
03:44:14,690 --> 03:44:12,120
where you see the unpressurized trunk of

5146
03:44:16,849 --> 03:44:14,700
dragon which is indicated by the half

5147
03:44:18,290 --> 03:44:16,859
black and half white indicators the

5148
03:44:21,710 --> 03:44:18,300
black being the solar panels that

5149
03:44:22,910 --> 03:44:21,720
provide power to the traffic on its

5150
03:44:26,330 --> 03:44:22,920
Transit

5151
03:44:28,010 --> 03:44:26,340
to the International Space Station

5152
03:44:29,630 --> 03:44:28,020
got that confirmation of strong back

5153
03:44:31,130 --> 03:44:29,640
retract we should be able to visually

5154
03:44:34,910 --> 03:44:31,140
see

5155
03:44:42,110 --> 03:44:36,889
strong back will retract about two

5156
03:44:49,190 --> 03:44:45,590
then at lift off the strong back will

5157
03:44:51,170 --> 03:44:49,200
actually go back to 45 degrees

5158
03:44:54,349 --> 03:44:51,180
that strong back is part of the

5159
03:44:57,349 --> 03:44:54,359
transporter erector which provides the

5160
03:45:04,550 --> 03:44:57,359
liquids and gases and electrical

5161
03:45:10,190 --> 03:45:06,889
as Gary pointed out those clamp arms

5162
03:45:13,309 --> 03:45:10,200
opened up underneath the trunk just

5163
03:45:16,250 --> 03:45:13,319
above the first stage

5164
03:45:18,170 --> 03:45:16,260
see that action happening now as that

5165
03:45:25,550 --> 03:45:18,180
initial retraction just a couple degrees

5166
03:45:30,349 --> 03:45:28,070
at this point in time fueling remains

5167
03:45:34,429 --> 03:45:30,359
underway to the propellant lobe remains

5168
03:45:38,389 --> 03:45:34,439
underway all fuels are loaded that rp1

5169
03:45:39,950 --> 03:45:38,399
liquid oxygen explodes complete here we

5170
03:45:42,290 --> 03:45:39,960
just heard that call out that that is

5171
03:45:44,750 --> 03:45:42,300
all done

5172
03:45:47,090 --> 03:45:44,760
second stage locks load still underway

5173
03:45:51,229 --> 03:45:47,100
that will wrap up at about T minus two

5174
03:45:57,650 --> 03:45:53,469
now that that first stage liquid oxygen

5175
03:46:00,650 --> 03:45:57,660
load is complete we'll see some more of

5176
03:46:04,130 --> 03:46:00,660
that white gaseous Cloud forming around

5177
03:46:09,950 --> 03:46:04,140
the vehicle due to those lines dragon is

5178
03:46:15,349 --> 03:46:11,690
all right good call out there indicating

5179
03:46:17,990 --> 03:46:15,359
that dragon is running on its own power

5180
03:46:24,349 --> 03:46:18,000
we are in the terminal count now at T

5181
03:46:30,349 --> 03:46:26,690
. the crew remains comfortable there on

5182
03:46:57,410 --> 03:46:33,110
about 15 seconds remaining in stage two

5183
03:46:57,420 --> 03:47:02,510
stage two lock foot complete

5184
03:47:08,750 --> 03:47:06,050
dragon is an auto Idol

5185
03:47:12,170 --> 03:47:08,760
you heard those calls the Falcon 9 fully

5186
03:47:14,030 --> 03:47:12,180
fueled with rp1 rocket fuel as well as

5187
03:47:15,950 --> 03:47:14,040
the liquid oxygen

5188
03:47:20,330 --> 03:47:15,960
that call of dragon is an auto Idol

5189
03:47:23,929 --> 03:47:22,429
does the gas close out purging the lines

5190
03:47:26,210 --> 03:47:23,939
of the fuel that have supplied the

5191
03:47:32,150 --> 03:47:26,220
Falcon 9

5192
03:47:37,670 --> 03:47:33,950
also wait for a call of the arming of

5193
03:47:41,870 --> 03:47:39,710
dragonfly computers are configured for

5194
03:47:44,690 --> 03:47:41,880
launch flight termination system will

5195
03:47:47,389 --> 03:47:44,700
allow Falcon 9 to talk to dragon

5196
03:47:50,510 --> 03:47:47,399
on the ride uphill

5197
03:47:54,590 --> 03:47:52,610
dragon is in countdown

5198
03:47:56,389 --> 03:47:54,600
T-minus one minute and Counting dragon

5199
03:48:08,330 --> 03:47:56,399
is in countdown

5200
03:48:08,340 --> 03:48:14,030
Dragon SpaceX go for launch

5201
03:48:18,170 --> 03:48:16,429
it's like strong and copy go for lunch

5202
03:48:20,210 --> 03:48:18,180
you might have 30 seconds

5203
03:48:31,429 --> 03:48:20,220
you minus 30 seconds and counting all

5204
03:48:31,439 --> 03:48:34,790
15 seconds

5205
03:48:37,849 --> 03:48:36,469
ready for an on-time launch for the

5206
03:48:45,769 --> 03:48:37,859

03:49:26,510 --> 03:49:24,410
t plus 34 seconds into the sixth

5213
03:49:32,269 --> 03:49:26,520
rotational crew mission onboard dragon

5214
03:49:36,710 --> 03:49:34,670
stage one title down

5215
03:49:38,330 --> 03:49:36,720
we all heard the call indicating that

5216
03:49:40,309 --> 03:49:38,340
the first stage engines will begin to

5217
03:49:42,769 --> 03:49:40,319
Throttle Down in preparation for Max

5218
03:49:45,290 --> 03:49:42,779
Cube which is the moment of Maximum

5219
03:49:49,250 --> 03:49:45,300
aerodynamic pressure that the vehicle

5220
03:49:54,950 --> 03:49:52,729
vehicle is supersonic

5221
03:50:03,410 --> 03:49:54,960
call up there indicating the vehicles

5222
03:50:07,790 --> 03:50:05,929
all right now that we're past Max Q what

5223
03:50:14,389 --> 03:50:07,800
Bravo

5224
03:50:16,790 --> 03:50:14,399
abort modes that are called that allow

5225
03:50:19,550 --> 03:50:16,800
the ground teams and the crew

5226
03:50:20,870 --> 03:50:19,560
to track about the position of the

5227
03:50:24,170 --> 03:50:20,880
Falcon 9 and the dragon as they make

5228
03:50:25,910 --> 03:50:24,180
their way up the Eastern seaboard

5229
03:50:27,769 --> 03:50:25,920
in the event of an abort these different

5230
03:50:30,530 --> 03:50:27,779
abort modes would indicate about the

5231
03:50:32,929 --> 03:50:30,540
position where dragons

5232
03:50:35,450 --> 03:50:32,939
as well as indicate what series of

5233
03:50:37,070 --> 03:50:35,460
Maneuvers Dragon would indicate but so

5234
03:50:38,809 --> 03:50:37,080
far we're hearing good calls on the

5235
03:50:42,050 --> 03:50:38,819
performance of the Falcon 9

5236
03:50:50,750 --> 03:50:42,060
on his ride uphill one minute 53 seconds

5237
03:50:54,650 --> 03:50:52,969
we're about 30 seconds away from Main

5238
03:50:57,290 --> 03:50:54,660
engine cutoff

5239
03:51:00,650 --> 03:50:57,300
which will be followed quickly by stage

5240
03:51:02,510 --> 03:51:00,660
separation and second engine start

5241
03:51:11,269 --> 03:51:02,520
which is the ignition of that and back

5242
03:51:27,410 --> 03:51:13,969
now about 10 seconds away from Main

5243
03:51:27,420 --> 03:51:32,510
confirmed

5244
03:51:37,910 --> 03:51:34,190
there you can see on your screen

5245
03:51:45,950 --> 03:51:37,920
confirmation of stage separation as well

5246
03:51:50,990 --> 03:51:48,410
second stage is now carrying the crew

5247
03:51:52,610 --> 03:51:51,000
six astronauts to orbit

5248
03:51:54,170 --> 03:51:52,620
beautiful view there on the left hand

5249
03:51:55,790 --> 03:51:54,180
side of your screen coming from the

5250
03:51:57,830 --> 03:51:55,800
first stage

5251
03:51:59,929 --> 03:51:57,840
which as you can see is still gaining an

5252
03:52:02,389 --> 03:51:59,939
altitude it has not yet reached its

5253
03:52:08,690 --> 03:52:02,399
apogee a beautiful view of these Florida

5254
03:52:13,190 --> 03:52:09,950
Meanwhile we're tracking good

5255
03:52:14,990 --> 03:52:13,200
performance on that mvac engine

5256
03:52:17,030 --> 03:52:15,000
on the screen to your right we'll be

5257
03:52:20,030 --> 03:52:17,040
hearing periodic performance calls about

5258
03:52:22,190 --> 03:52:20,040
once every minute of the status of the

5259
03:52:24,950 --> 03:52:22,200
trajectory of the second stage in the

5260
03:52:26,150 --> 03:52:24,960
crew six astronauts that are inside crew

5261
03:52:28,729 --> 03:52:26,160
Dragon endeavor

5262
03:52:30,530 --> 03:52:28,739
we'll also be here

5263
03:52:32,389 --> 03:52:30,540
just like you heard just there as we

5264
03:52:37,309 --> 03:52:32,399
pass over the various ground stations

5265
03:52:37,319 --> 03:52:41,690
Dragon SpaceX nominal trajectory

5266
03:52:49,849 --> 03:52:44,210
there's that performance call out I can

5267
03:52:54,170 --> 03:52:51,590
as for the first stage there on the

5268
03:52:56,530 --> 03:52:54,180
left-hand side of your screen that first

5269
03:53:01,190 --> 03:52:56,540
stage still gaining an altitude although

5270
03:53:02,750 --> 03:53:01,200
that gain is slowing down it will be

5271
03:53:04,450 --> 03:53:02,760
making its way back down to earth

5272
03:53:07,010 --> 03:53:04,460
Landing

5273
03:53:09,110 --> 03:53:07,020
attempting a landing on our drone ship

5274
03:53:12,710 --> 03:53:09,120
just read the instructions which is

5275
03:53:21,769 --> 03:53:12,720
located off the Florida coast by a

5276
03:53:25,670 --> 03:53:24,349
the mvac engine on stage two Burns for

5277
03:53:28,250 --> 03:53:25,680
six minutes

5278
03:53:30,229 --> 03:53:28,260
after second stage ignition

5279
03:53:32,809 --> 03:53:30,239
will continue to see

5280
03:53:34,250 --> 03:53:32,819
this engine burn until about eight and a

5281
03:53:37,370 --> 03:53:34,260
half minutes

5282
03:53:42,349 --> 03:53:37,380
into today's flight

5283
03:53:42,359 --> 03:53:47,870
trajectory

5284
03:53:51,590 --> 03:53:49,429
again these performance calls happen

5285
03:53:53,929 --> 03:53:51,600
once a minute

5286
03:53:56,929 --> 03:53:53,939
flight teams continuing to track

5287
03:53:58,670 --> 03:53:56,939
falcon 9. and it's ascent

5288
03:54:00,710 --> 03:53:58,680
everything's looking good so far you'll

5289
03:54:06,229 --> 03:54:00,720
also continue to hear those check-ins of

5290
03:54:10,729 --> 03:54:08,330
at this point in time we're roughly two

5291
03:54:13,250 --> 03:54:10,739
minutes away from the next major event

5292
03:54:15,410 --> 03:54:13,260
which will be the entry burn for the

5293
03:54:19,070 --> 03:54:15,420
first stage

5294
03:54:22,250 --> 03:54:19,080
we will relight three engines uh three

5295
03:54:25,370 --> 03:54:22,260
m1d engines on that first stage to help

5296
03:54:30,889 --> 03:54:25,380
slow the vehicle down as it re-enters

5297
03:54:37,490 --> 03:54:32,929
we're approaching 200 kilometers in

5298
03:54:39,710 --> 03:54:37,500
altitude it's about 124 miles

5299
03:54:42,769 --> 03:54:39,720
meanwhile velocity SpaceX nominal

5300
03:54:45,230 --> 03:54:42,779
trajectory good trajectory calls about

5301
03:54:47,870 --> 03:54:45,240
to pass 12 000 kilometers per hour

5302
03:55:05,520 --> 03:54:47,880
[Music]

5303
03:55:09,290 --> 03:55:07,309
[Applause]

5304
03:55:11,870 --> 03:55:09,300
everything looking nominal for both

5305
03:55:14,630 --> 03:55:11,880
first and second stages

5306
03:55:21,650 --> 03:55:14,640
now coming up to t plus six and a half

5307
03:55:25,610 --> 03:55:23,090
mostly what we're hearing now are the

5308
03:55:28,969 --> 03:55:25,620
performance calls in the second stage

5309
03:55:30,710 --> 03:55:28,979
in about a minute is when we'll see uh a

5310
03:55:33,229 --> 03:55:30,720
series of events in Rapid succession

5311
03:55:34,969 --> 03:55:33,239
it's been a pretty good Pace since

5312
03:55:37,309 --> 03:55:34,979
second stage ignition

5313
03:55:39,650 --> 03:55:37,319
about uh less than a minute from now

5314
03:55:51,530 --> 03:55:39,660
we'll start to see more action nominal

5315
03:55:55,969 --> 03:55:53,030
as Gary mentioned those call outs

5316
03:55:58,969 --> 03:55:55,979
occurring about once every minute

5317
03:56:01,550 --> 03:55:58,979
now we're about 20 seconds away from the

5318
03:56:04,550 --> 03:56:01,560
first stage entry burn

5319
03:56:06,349 --> 03:56:04,560
that burn will last about 30 seconds and

5320
03:56:08,330 --> 03:56:06,359
help slow the vehicle down as it

5321
03:56:10,610 --> 03:56:08,340
re-enters back into the Earth's

5322
03:56:12,769 --> 03:56:10,620
atmosphere

5323
03:56:16,189 --> 03:56:12,779
page one entry run startup

5324
03:56:18,410 --> 03:56:16,199
and there you can see FTS has saved on

5325
03:56:19,790 --> 03:56:18,420
your screen that first stage entry burn

5326
03:56:22,070 --> 03:56:19,800
has begun

5327
03:56:24,229 --> 03:56:22,080
that booster sees High drag which

5328
03:56:26,090 --> 03:56:24,239
actually scrubs roughly 70 percent of

5329
03:56:30,889 --> 03:56:26,100
the Velocity by the time that the

5330
03:56:36,229 --> 03:56:32,929
so about another 10 seconds of this

5331
03:56:42,830 --> 03:56:39,590
again three engines relit the center and

5332
03:56:42,840 --> 03:56:49,370
and conclusion of that entry burn

5333
03:56:53,330 --> 03:56:51,050
meanwhile good performance on the second

5334
03:56:55,370 --> 03:56:53,340
stage since second stage ignition we've

5335
03:56:56,870 --> 03:56:55,380
been in a two alpha abort mode the next

5336
03:57:00,110 --> 03:56:56,880
abort modes will happen in Rapid

5337
03:57:02,570 --> 03:57:00,120
succession to Bravo to charlie delta

5338
03:57:04,250 --> 03:57:02,580
guidance

5339
03:57:06,229 --> 03:57:04,260
each indicating different series of

5340
03:57:07,729 --> 03:57:06,239
Maneuvers in the event of an abort

5341
03:57:09,110 --> 03:57:07,739
scenario but as you've been hearing

5342
03:57:10,790 --> 03:57:09,120
through the periodic checks we're seeing

5343
03:57:14,809 --> 03:57:10,800
good trajectory good performance on the

5344
03:57:21,229 --> 03:57:17,389
Seco second stage engine cutoff would be

5345
03:57:26,269 --> 03:57:21,239
coming at eight minutes 48 seconds

5346
03:57:32,630 --> 03:57:27,309
yeah

5347
03:57:32,640 --> 03:57:40,969
standing by for Seco

5348
03:57:40,979 --> 03:57:45,110
mvac shutdown

5349
03:57:49,250 --> 03:57:47,870
page one letting burn

5350
03:57:51,590 --> 03:57:49,260
and there we heard the call out

5351
03:57:55,490 --> 03:57:51,600
indicating that Landing Burns Dragon

5352
03:57:58,070 --> 03:57:55,500
SpaceX we have a nominal orbit insertion

5353
03:57:59,929 --> 03:57:58,080
great news there for just like striking

5354
03:58:02,750 --> 03:57:59,939
coffee is not an order balloon insertion

5355
03:58:05,450 --> 03:58:02,760
Great Escape system disarmed

5356
03:58:08,389 --> 03:58:05,460
for Dragon Endeavor age one landingly

5357
03:58:13,280 --> 03:58:10,490
attempting to land on our drone ship

5358
03:58:23,990 --> 03:58:13,290
just read the instructions

5359
03:58:27,650 --> 03:58:24,000
[Applause]

5360
03:58:30,469 --> 03:58:27,660
successful Landing of this booster it's

5361
03:58:33,530 --> 03:58:30,479
first trip to space and therefore it's

5362
03:58:38,330 --> 03:58:35,750
an eruption of Applause here at SpaceX

5363
03:58:40,550 --> 03:58:38,340
mission control and of course after a

5364
03:58:42,830 --> 03:58:40,560
second stage engine cut off you heard

5365
03:58:46,010 --> 03:58:42,840
that call that the crew is in Orbit

5366
03:58:47,630 --> 03:58:46,020
they're now in a coast phase the second

5367
03:58:50,450 --> 03:58:47,640
stage remains idle

5368
03:58:52,070 --> 03:58:50,460
for about three minutes before Dragon

5369
03:58:53,929 --> 03:58:52,080
separates from the second stage

5370
03:58:56,689 --> 03:58:53,939
meanwhile you can see that first stage

5371
03:58:59,150 --> 03:58:56,699
in the legs right on target

5372
03:59:01,130 --> 03:58:59,160
we're now getting views from the second

5373
03:59:03,530 --> 03:59:01,140
stage you can see this is one of the

5374
03:59:05,809 --> 03:59:03,540
cameras that's pointing up into the

5375
03:59:07,969 --> 03:59:05,819
trunk of dragon

5376
03:59:10,189 --> 03:59:07,979
of course we're continuing to get views

5377
03:59:14,809 --> 03:59:10,199
of the expansion nozzle at the end of

5378
03:59:20,090 --> 03:59:17,630
crew is in Orbit Falcon 9 has almost

5379
03:59:23,030 --> 03:59:20,100
done its job

5380
03:59:24,469 --> 03:59:23,040
it completed its job with propelling the

5381
03:59:26,210 --> 03:59:24,479
astronauts through the six minutes of

5382
03:59:27,710 --> 03:59:26,220
the second stage and of course the more

5383
03:59:29,510 --> 03:59:27,720
than two and a half minutes of the first

5384
03:59:32,870 --> 03:59:29,520
stage

5385
03:59:35,030 --> 03:59:32,880
continuing in this Coast period

5386
03:59:39,050 --> 03:59:35,040
we're heading to about the 12 minute

5387
03:59:41,210 --> 03:59:39,060
Mark after launch so we're approaching

5388
03:59:44,570 --> 03:59:41,220
11 minutes right now

5389
03:59:46,790 --> 03:59:44,580
but it's great to see the crew in orbit

5390
03:59:49,070 --> 03:59:46,800
of course we are waiting for that step

5391
03:59:51,050 --> 03:59:49,080
separation you can see this view right

5392
03:59:52,670 --> 03:59:51,060
here of the mvac engine the second stage

5393
03:59:54,469 --> 03:59:52,680
really in just an idle position really

5394
03:59:57,110 --> 03:59:54,479
just coasting not many commands being

5395
03:59:58,849 --> 03:59:57,120
issued from the Falcon 9 but of course

5396
04:00:00,650 --> 03:59:58,859
at the very end we'll actually issue the

5397
04:00:03,170 --> 04:00:00,660
command for separating the dragon from

5398
04:00:04,790 --> 04:00:03,180
the Falcon 9. you'll see a series you

5399
04:00:06,950 --> 04:00:04,800
may see a series of burns the Draco

5400
04:00:09,830 --> 04:00:06,960
engines on the service section of the

5401
04:00:11,630 --> 04:00:09,840
Draco will fire and increase uh

5402
04:00:20,210 --> 04:00:11,640
separation distance from the second

5403
04:00:24,170 --> 04:00:21,950
trunk which of course is the

5404
04:00:27,650 --> 04:00:24,180
unpressurized section

5405
04:00:30,290 --> 04:00:27,660
that goes along with the Dragon capsule

5406
04:00:33,370 --> 04:00:30,300
to the International Space Station

5407
04:00:36,650 --> 04:00:33,380
that's where we are able to store

5408
04:00:39,710 --> 04:00:36,660
basically cargo that is able to be

5409
04:00:41,990 --> 04:00:39,720
exposed to the vacuum of space

5410
04:00:44,269 --> 04:00:42,000
so a great view there looking up into

5411
04:00:46,550 --> 04:00:44,279
the trunk that will be hopefully the

5412
04:00:48,590 --> 04:00:46,560
first views that we get of that

5413
04:00:55,370 --> 04:00:48,600
separation event which we're expecting

5414
04:01:00,349 --> 04:00:57,070
there you can see on your screen

5415
04:01:06,349 --> 04:01:00,359
confirmation Dragon separation confirmed

5416
04:01:13,910 --> 04:01:10,010
Dragon Endeavor is now floating free in

5417
04:01:19,130 --> 04:01:16,490
that's right the Falcon 9 the E here

5418
04:01:21,530 --> 04:01:19,140
welcome to orbit congratulations your

5419
04:01:23,630 --> 04:01:21,540
flight is exactly four years after the

5420
04:01:25,849 --> 04:01:23,640
Flight of the demo One mission like

5421
04:01:27,469 --> 04:01:25,859
Andre said all the best things take two

5422
04:01:29,750 --> 04:01:27,479
tries happy that we could get you off

5423

sushi orders in for CRS 27. have a safe

5428
04:01:43,010 --> 04:01:41,520
ride to the space station and we look

5429
04:01:47,389 --> 04:01:43,020
forward to seeing you when you get home

5430
04:01:52,189 --> 04:01:50,150

greatly appreciated may have taken two

5436
04:02:19,490 --> 04:02:16,739
ride but a few times but it was worth

5437
04:02:23,570 --> 04:02:19,500
the trip and uh I guess we'll pass it

5438
04:02:27,710 --> 04:02:25,910
yeah SpaceX Dragon just want to say as a

5439
04:02:31,250 --> 04:02:27,720

attention to detail and focus on testing

5449
04:02:50,929 --> 04:02:49,260
I think that's what makes it all

5450
04:02:54,830 --> 04:02:50,939
possible to fly humans in States thank

everybody who trained Us and got us

5467
04:05:00,710 --> 04:04:58,380
ready for this Mission this is

5468
04:05:04,370 --> 04:05:00,720
incredible launched with Incredible

5469
04:05:06,650 --> 04:05:04,380

not least thank you NASA thank you

5471
04:05:12,530 --> 04:05:10,260
SpaceX for flying us to space the dragon

5472
04:05:16,010 --> 04:05:12,540
Go SpaceX

5473
04:05:19,309 --> 04:05:16,020
and allow me to introduce our fifth crew

5474
04:05:22,969 --> 04:05:19,319
member his name is suhail and suhail is

5475
04:05:25,309 --> 04:05:22,979
the Arabic name for the star knobos and

5476
04:05:28,130 --> 04:05:25,319
in the Middle East we anticipate the

5477
04:05:30,889 --> 04:05:28,140
appearance of cannabis because it marks

5478
04:05:33,290 --> 04:05:30,899
the end of Summer and the beginning of

5479
04:05:36,050 --> 04:05:33,300
cool time

5480
04:05:39,229 --> 04:05:36,060
and canopies is actually the second

5481
04:05:41,689 --> 04:05:39,239
brightest star in the night sky

5482
04:05:45,370 --> 04:05:41,699
and this is the second flight for uh

5483
04:05:48,410 --> 04:05:45,380
suhail because it's flew with uh

5484
04:05:51,410 --> 04:05:48,420
in 2019.

5485
04:05:54,830 --> 04:05:51,420
and many people think Sohail is an alien

5486
04:06:01,010 --> 04:05:57,349
in a space suit but with high Ambitions

5487
04:06:08,870 --> 04:06:01,020
thank you once again and talk to you

5488
04:06:14,809 --> 04:06:11,630
Dragon SpaceX we copy all those words

5489
04:06:17,630 --> 04:06:14,819
uh at this time I can provide you an

5490
04:06:18,889 --> 04:06:17,640
update that we had nominal dehumidifier

5491
04:06:21,769 --> 04:06:18,899
activation

5492
04:06:24,950 --> 04:06:21,779
and service section Draco checkouts for

5493
04:06:28,070 --> 04:06:24,960
your awareness uh on hard capture hook

5494
04:06:31,189 --> 04:06:28,080
five we did swap two backup Motors so

5495
04:06:33,290 --> 04:06:31,199
you'll see that the nose cone opening

5496
04:06:34,729 --> 04:06:33,300
did swap to backup however all hooks did

5497
04:06:42,189 --> 04:06:34,739
indicate that they were traveling and

5498
04:06:42,199 --> 04:06:50,809
we see that

5499
04:06:50,819 --> 04:06:59,030
foreign

5500
04:07:04,130 --> 04:07:01,010
very Dynamic time

5501
04:07:06,170 --> 04:07:04,140
um of course the Falcon 9 delivering the

5502
04:07:08,330 --> 04:07:06,180
crew 6 astronauts into orbit after the

5503
04:07:10,010 --> 04:07:08,340
nine minute Ascent we heard those great

5504
04:07:12,650 --> 04:07:10,020
congratulatory awards from each and

5505
04:07:15,170 --> 04:07:12,660
every member of crew six who of course

5506
04:07:18,290 --> 04:07:15,180
had a strong bond with the teams here in

5507
04:07:20,150 --> 04:07:18,300
Mission Control in SpaceX that call you

5508
04:07:22,910 --> 04:07:20,160
did here to the crew was about the nose

5509
04:07:24,710 --> 04:07:22,920
cone uh the nose cone is deploying now

5510
04:07:26,150 --> 04:07:24,720
they were troubleshooting an issue with

5511
04:07:28,189 --> 04:07:26,160
one of the hooks but switched to backup

5512
04:07:31,309 --> 04:07:28,199
Motors and we're seeing that nose cone

5513
04:07:32,809 --> 04:07:31,319
deploy now but Cruise six is now on its

5514
04:07:34,429 --> 04:07:32,819
way to the International Space Station

5515
04:07:36,229 --> 04:07:34,439
it's going to take about 24 and a half

5516
04:07:38,210 --> 04:07:36,239
hours so they'll go through a series of

5517
04:07:40,070 --> 04:07:38,220
checks a series of initial Burns and

5518
04:07:41,870 --> 04:07:40,080
then eventually have a sleep period

5519
04:07:44,330 --> 04:07:41,880
before waking up and really getting into

5520
04:07:46,010 --> 04:07:44,340
the action uh with a lot of the burns

5521
04:07:48,050 --> 04:07:46,020
that bring it closer and closer to the

5522
04:07:49,849 --> 04:07:48,060
International Space Station it'll be

5523
04:07:50,990 --> 04:07:49,859
docking to the Zenith Port we're now

5524
04:07:52,670 --> 04:07:51,000
getting

5525
04:07:55,610 --> 04:07:52,680
views

5526
04:07:58,429 --> 04:07:55,620
from the dragon and that's the nose cone

5527
04:08:04,370 --> 04:07:58,439
deploying that you're seeing right now

5528
04:08:09,530 --> 04:08:07,849
and Kate this really sets the uh crew up

5529
04:08:11,450 --> 04:08:09,540
for

5530
04:08:14,510 --> 04:08:11,460
some of the major Burns here that nose

5531
04:08:16,610 --> 04:08:14,520
cone deploying reveals the four forward

5532
04:08:18,650 --> 04:08:16,620
bulkhead dracos that do a lot of the

5533
04:08:21,710 --> 04:08:18,660
heavy lifting a lot of those significant

5534
04:08:23,750 --> 04:08:21,720
Burns that bring the crew closer to the

5535
04:08:26,570 --> 04:08:23,760
International Space Station

5536
04:08:29,929 --> 04:08:26,580
that's right the nose cone is basically

5537
04:08:32,030 --> 04:08:29,939
the pointy end at the top of dragon so

5538
04:08:35,030 --> 04:08:32,040
now with that being exposed those

5539
04:08:38,689 --> 04:08:35,040
forward bulkhead thrusters will be able

5540
04:08:40,070 --> 04:08:38,699
to do their job as Dragon Endeavor makes

5541
04:08:40,929 --> 04:08:40,080
its way to the International Space

5542
04:08:43,370 --> 04:08:40,939
Station

5543
04:08:46,490 --> 04:08:43,380
just prior to losing the ground station

5544
04:08:49,969 --> 04:08:46,500
coverage we were able to catch a quick

5545
04:08:53,570 --> 04:08:49,979
glimpse of the zero g indicator I always

5546
04:08:55,189 --> 04:08:53,580
love seeing that be revealed as it's

5547
04:08:57,410 --> 04:08:55,199
always different for each crew and it's

5548
04:08:58,670 --> 04:08:57,420
always special to the crew members so I

5549
04:09:01,070 --> 04:08:58,680
love the words that were shared around

5550
04:09:03,170 --> 04:09:01,080
that and I personally have a strong

5551
04:09:05,809 --> 04:09:03,180
connection to this capsule this was the

5552
04:09:08,150 --> 04:09:05,819
demo 2 capsule The Crew 2 capsule the

5553
04:09:11,469 --> 04:09:08,160
Axiom one capsule and now the crew six

5554
04:09:14,090 --> 04:09:11,479
capsule and so it always brings a lot of

5555
04:09:16,729 --> 04:09:14,100
pride and joy to see this particular

5556
04:09:19,070 --> 04:09:16,739
capsule fly in space safely once again

5557
04:09:22,250 --> 04:09:19,080
so with all that being said let's head

5558
04:09:25,550 --> 04:09:22,260
back over to Daryl and Raja who saw all

5559
04:09:27,710 --> 04:09:25,560
of the the liftoff action live you guys

5560
04:09:29,389 --> 04:09:27,720
I bet it was incredible having seen it

5561
04:09:31,729 --> 04:09:29,399
from the Press site myself a couple of

5562
04:09:34,090 --> 04:09:31,739
times I know you can feel it tell us how

5563
04:09:36,830 --> 04:09:34,100
it was to see This Crew lift off

5564
04:09:38,210 --> 04:09:36,840
absolutely Kate and uh thank you for the

5565
04:09:40,550 --> 04:09:38,220
toss back here to the Kennedy Space

5566
04:09:43,370 --> 04:09:40,560
Center and on that point we got to get

5567
04:09:45,590 --> 04:09:43,380
raja's reaction first because it was his

5568
04:09:47,630 --> 04:09:45,600
first launch he's been on a rocket he's

5569
04:09:49,790 --> 04:09:47,640
been to space first time watching

5570
04:09:51,590 --> 04:09:49,800
alongside that was awesome Daryl uh it

5571
04:09:54,950 --> 04:09:51,600
was better than I expected so I think

5572
04:09:57,290 --> 04:09:54,960
much a much more throaty rumbling sound

5573
04:09:59,269 --> 04:09:57,300
once it started to pitch over uh and a

5574
04:10:00,710 --> 04:09:59,279
beautiful night here so we could see the

5575
04:10:02,990 --> 04:10:00,720
second stage light we could actually see

5576
04:10:05,870 --> 04:10:03,000
the throttle down for uh from stage one

5577
04:10:07,309 --> 04:10:05,880
to Stage B which was really cool I saw

5578
04:10:08,809 --> 04:10:07,319
the separation saw the light go out when

5579
04:10:11,570 --> 04:10:08,819
the first stage separated saw the second

5580
04:10:14,030 --> 04:10:11,580
stage light and got this watch it uh

5581
04:10:15,610 --> 04:10:14,040
pretty much all the way to Bravo it was

5582
04:10:17,510 --> 04:10:15,620
it was pretty impressive

5583
04:10:19,910 --> 04:10:17,520
sorry those are those are different

5584
04:10:21,469 --> 04:10:19,920
launch Escape phases so yeah it was it

5585
04:10:23,210 --> 04:10:21,479
was awesome seeing it from the ground

5586
04:10:25,670 --> 04:10:23,220
and just kind of thinking through what

5587
04:10:28,189 --> 04:10:25,680
that ride was like a while ago but I'd

5588
04:10:29,510 --> 04:10:28,199
rather be on the inside the outside but

5589
04:10:31,370 --> 04:10:29,520
it's pretty I'm here with us but it's

5590
04:10:33,229 --> 04:10:31,380
pretty it's pretty impressive for both

5591
04:10:35,030 --> 04:10:33,239
views yeah well we're so glad to see

5592
04:10:36,229 --> 04:10:35,040
them and exciting yeah excited that

5593
04:10:37,910 --> 04:10:36,239
they're on the way to space station I'm

5594
04:10:40,610 --> 04:10:37,920
so happy for him no doubt

5595
04:10:42,349 --> 04:10:40,620
congratulations to not only the crew

5596
04:10:45,110 --> 04:10:42,359
that is getting up into space but also

5597
04:10:46,790 --> 04:10:45,120
everyone who helped make it possible it

5598
04:10:49,610 --> 04:10:46,800
takes an a tremendous number of people

5599
04:10:51,950 --> 04:10:49,620
in order to pull that off and that Roar

5600
04:10:54,469 --> 04:10:51,960
right when did you feel it in your chest

5601
04:10:56,450 --> 04:10:54,479
yeah so on the the day of the you can

5602
04:10:58,250 --> 04:10:56,460
yeah here you can feel it there and you

5603
04:11:00,769 --> 04:10:58,260
can feel it here you'd actually feel the

5604
04:11:03,110 --> 04:11:00,779
vibration that actually bodily you know

5605
04:11:04,490 --> 04:11:03,120
it's actually vibrating your body the

5606
04:11:05,750 --> 04:11:04,500
ground around you and I think just the

5607
04:11:07,550 --> 04:11:05,760
coolness of it almost it's almost

5608
04:11:09,830 --> 04:11:07,560
daytime around the launch pad when it

5609
04:11:11,150 --> 04:11:09,840
first lit just with the humidity uh the

5610
04:11:12,830 --> 04:11:11,160
temperature dew point spread right now

5611
04:11:14,269 --> 04:11:12,840
there's a lot of moisture in the air so

5612
04:11:15,590 --> 04:11:14,279
just the reflection of the light you

5613
04:11:17,630 --> 04:11:15,600
actually couldn't even see the top of

5614
04:11:20,330 --> 04:11:17,640
the rocket it was the flame the the

5615
04:11:21,950 --> 04:11:20,340
plume lit up the whole Horizon so

5616
04:11:23,389 --> 04:11:21,960
basically as far as you can see 180

5617
04:11:25,610 --> 04:11:23,399
degrees here just look like daylight for

5618
04:11:27,050 --> 04:11:25,620
the for about 20 seconds so it was

5619
04:11:29,090 --> 04:11:27,060
really really cool well your first

5620
04:11:31,130 --> 04:11:29,100
launch watching yep I'll be back again

5621
04:11:34,490 --> 04:11:31,140

04:11:40,189 --> 04:11:38,939
terminal count and Ascent I said there

5625
04:11:43,670 --> 04:11:40,199

5626
04:11:46,729 --> 04:11:43,680

viewing location

5630
04:11:57,229 --> 04:11:54,500

5631
04:12:00,290 --> 04:11:57,239

first met they had their first kiss at a

5639
04:12:22,309 --> 04:12:20,160
rocket launch and so he wanted to bring

5640
04:12:23,689 --> 04:12:22,319
her back to propose and it happened

5641
04:12:26,210 --> 04:12:23,699

balcony of osb2 we had a great view of

5650
04:12:44,389 --> 04:12:42,479
launch and the crowd around us just

5651
04:12:46,550 --> 04:12:44,399
erupted in cheers it lit up the night

5652
04:12:48,590 --> 04:12:46,560
sky joining us now is Kennedy Space

5653
04:12:49,910 --> 04:12:48,600
Center Deputy Center Director Kelvin

5654
04:12:52,130 --> 04:12:49,920

question is easy what did you think of

5658
04:13:01,070 --> 04:12:58,920
launch it was spectacular and anytime

5659
04:13:04,130 --> 04:13:01,080
we're putting people in a rocket makes

5660
04:13:05,750 --> 04:13:04,140
it even more special so we launched

5661
04:13:08,630 --> 04:13:05,760
satellites we launched all kinds of

5662
04:13:11,929 --> 04:13:08,640
things but tonight it was Steve Woody

5663
04:13:14,689 --> 04:13:11,939

them off safely onto the International

5667
04:13:22,790 --> 04:13:20,880
Space Station that's a huge

5668
04:13:24,650 --> 04:13:22,800
accomplishment it really is a huge

5669
04:13:25,910 --> 04:13:24,660

04:13:29,269 --> 04:13:27,779
proposal at a banana Creek and

5672
04:13:30,950 --> 04:13:29,279
Commercial crew is really the perfect

5673
04:13:32,269 --> 04:13:30,960
marriage of our commercial and our

5674
04:13:35,809 --> 04:13:32,279
International Partners isn't that right

5675
04:13:38,630 --> 04:13:35,819

like Star Trek you have all these people

5679
04:13:48,769 --> 04:13:47,040
from different planets and uh we're just

5680
04:13:50,990 --> 04:13:48,779
getting started here so maybe one day

5681
04:13:53,340 --> 04:13:51,000

5682
04:13:58,370 --> 04:13:56,389
[Music]

way to kick off the launches of 2023 we

5696
04:14:29,090 --> 04:14:26,819
mentioned earlier with Janet Petro that

5697
04:14:30,769 --> 04:14:29,100
we are looking at over 90 launches this

5698
04:14:33,110 --> 04:14:30,779
year so what else is going to station in

5699
04:14:37,370 --> 04:14:33,120

to station that's a huge deal and we got

5705
04:14:55,910 --> 04:14:53,220
uh another commercial Axia Mission

5706
04:14:58,490 --> 04:14:55,920
that'll go to the the space station and

5707
04:15:00,229 --> 04:14:58,500
then we'll look at crucif and to follow

5708
04:15:02,570 --> 04:15:00,239

5709
04:15:04,490 --> 04:15:02,580
wow a lot of work going on here at the

5711
04:15:07,309 --> 04:15:05,880
words of thanks that you want to give to

5712
04:15:09,410 --> 04:15:07,319

yeah it's all about the team and this is

5714
04:15:13,550 --> 04:15:11,100
America's Space Program you talked about

5715
04:15:14,809 --> 04:15:13,560
our industry Partners our other

5716
04:15:16,790 --> 04:15:14,819

we appreciate you being here tonight

5722
04:15:27,769 --> 04:15:25,680
Kelvin

5723
04:15:29,870 --> 04:15:27,779
all right thank you Daryl back to you

5724
04:15:31,250 --> 04:15:29,880
thank you so much Jasmine and you see

5725
04:15:34,670 --> 04:15:31,260
her working the love in there with the

5726
04:15:35,809 --> 04:15:34,680
CCP well done thank you very much well

5727
04:15:37,689 --> 04:15:35,819
the crew is on the way to the

5728
04:15:40,790 --> 04:15:37,699
International Space Station we did hear

5729
04:15:43,010 --> 04:15:40,800
uh from the SpaceX team that the nose

5730
04:15:45,110 --> 04:15:43,020
cone hooks at the top of the spacecraft

5731
04:15:47,090 --> 04:15:45,120
right the dragon

5732
04:15:49,429 --> 04:15:47,100
um they went to the backup Motors in

5733
04:15:50,990 --> 04:15:49,439
order to release that nose cone that's

5734
04:15:52,969 --> 04:15:51,000
pretty critical to make sure you get

5735
04:15:54,950 --> 04:15:52,979
that up great redundancy with the system

5736
04:15:56,870 --> 04:15:54,960
there but why is that so important that

5737
04:15:58,130 --> 04:15:56,880
that nose cone comes off yeah so we you

5738
04:16:00,590 --> 04:15:58,140
can't talk to the space station without

5739
04:16:01,910 --> 04:16:00,600
the nose cone so the as we saw just

5740
04:16:04,250 --> 04:16:01,920
looking at the views of the capsule

5741
04:16:05,929 --> 04:16:04,260
before uh liftoff it's closed for

5742
04:16:08,030 --> 04:16:05,939
aerodynamics because you don't want a

5743
04:16:09,590 --> 04:16:08,040
door wide open while you while you're

5744
04:16:11,210 --> 04:16:09,600
flying through the air once you're in

5745
04:16:14,870 --> 04:16:11,220
space of course there's no drag so then

5746
04:16:16,370 --> 04:16:14,880
you can open that up and that exposes

5747
04:16:17,750 --> 04:16:16,380
the camera and the sensors that allow

5748
04:16:19,309 --> 04:16:17,760
the dragon to dock with the

5749
04:16:21,110 --> 04:16:19,319
International Space Station there's a

5750
04:16:22,729 --> 04:16:21,120
whole lot of stuff going on so the crew

5751
04:16:24,110 --> 04:16:22,739
was working the comms back down to the

5752
04:16:26,570 --> 04:16:24,120
ground and monitoring a whole bunch of

5753
04:16:27,889 --> 04:16:26,580
systems so we saw the separation uh they

5754
04:16:30,349 --> 04:16:27,899
have Telemetry that gives them

5755
04:16:32,150 --> 04:16:30,359
information about that and then the next

5756
04:16:33,469 --> 04:16:32,160
step is the nose cone deploy and as you

5757
04:16:36,710 --> 04:16:33,479
heard the core mentioned all of those

5758
04:16:38,510 --> 04:16:36,720
hooks uh there's a dozen hooks uh six of

5759
04:16:40,370 --> 04:16:38,520
them are holding the nose cone there's

5760
04:16:42,410 --> 04:16:40,380
and then basically each of those hooks

5761
04:16:44,150 --> 04:16:42,420
has backup and primary motor so what you

5762
04:16:45,830 --> 04:16:44,160
heard them describe is one of those went

5763
04:16:47,990 --> 04:16:45,840
out of the backup motor to open the hook

5764
04:16:49,550 --> 04:16:48,000
which is why we have backup Motors uh

5765
04:16:51,290 --> 04:16:49,560
now with the nose cone open they should

5766
04:16:53,330 --> 04:16:51,300
be good to continue to the uh the space

5767
04:16:54,950 --> 04:16:53,340
station and next thing they'll be

5768
04:16:56,570 --> 04:16:54,960
talking about this is phasing burn so we

5769
04:16:58,370 --> 04:16:56,580
you know how they have to catch up I'm

5770
04:17:00,530 --> 04:16:58,380
sure there'll be teams looking at the

5771
04:17:01,429 --> 04:17:00,540
data from that to see if it was kind of

5772
04:17:02,689 --> 04:17:01,439
like we talked about earlier broadcast

5773
04:17:04,309 --> 04:17:02,699
was it actually a problem with the

5774
04:17:06,650 --> 04:17:04,319
primary motor or was it just a bad

5775
04:17:08,870 --> 04:17:06,660
Telemetry so the ground has some ability

5776
04:17:10,610 --> 04:17:08,880
to suss that out with some extra data

5777
04:17:12,650 --> 04:17:10,620
they have they can try resetting things

5778
04:17:14,809 --> 04:17:12,660
so my guess is when they go to actual

5779
04:17:16,070 --> 04:17:14,819
docking they may retry that primary

5780
04:17:17,570 --> 04:17:16,080
motor just to see if it's working and

5781
04:17:18,830 --> 04:17:17,580
then they have the backup motor still as

5782
04:17:20,450 --> 04:17:18,840
an option

5783
04:17:22,490 --> 04:17:20,460
um so they still have the redundancy but

5784
04:17:24,290 --> 04:17:22,500
they'll sort through maybe

5785
04:17:26,510 --> 04:17:24,300
troubleshooting that some more but I

5786
04:17:28,429 --> 04:17:26,520
don't think it should affect the hooks

5787
04:17:30,229 --> 04:17:28,439
are used when they dock right the same

5788
04:17:31,969 --> 04:17:30,239
yeah the same hooks there's a soft

5789
04:17:33,710 --> 04:17:31,979
capture and a hard capture a hard hook

5790
04:17:35,210 --> 04:17:33,720
system that attaches under the space

5791
04:17:37,550 --> 04:17:35,220
station but again as long as hard

5792
04:17:39,229 --> 04:17:37,560
capture a hard hook system that attaches

5793
04:17:40,610 --> 04:17:39,239
under the space station but again as

5794
04:17:41,809 --> 04:17:40,620
long as the backup Motors working it

5795
04:17:43,610 --> 04:17:41,819
should be fine should we get it up yeah

5796
04:17:45,590 --> 04:17:43,620
all right well we will track it all

5797
04:17:47,809 --> 04:17:45,600
along the way and we know we saw a

5798
04:17:49,189 --> 04:17:47,819
visual confirmation of the nose cone

5799
04:17:51,110 --> 04:17:49,199
coming off saw that right on the video

5800
04:17:54,889 --> 04:17:51,120
with the cameras that SpaceX has and so

5801
04:17:56,450 --> 04:17:54,899
now Stephen Woody Sultan and Andre are

5802
04:17:59,389 --> 04:17:56,460
on course to arrive at the International

5803
04:18:02,389 --> 04:17:59,399
Space Station around 1 17 a.m eastern

5804
04:18:04,610 --> 04:18:02,399
time tomorrow and of course NASA TV will

5805
04:18:07,370 --> 04:18:04,620
be wrapping up our coverage but you can

5806
04:18:09,769 --> 04:18:07,380
follow along with crew six's entire ride

5807
04:18:12,229 --> 04:18:09,779
to the station and hear real-time audio

5808
04:18:14,750 --> 04:18:12,239
from space to ground on our mission

5809
04:18:16,790 --> 04:18:14,760
audio stream on YouTube just look for

5810
04:18:18,590 --> 04:18:16,800
the link on NASA social media accounts

5811
04:18:21,170 --> 04:18:18,600
and in the description of the NASA

5812
04:18:22,969 --> 04:18:21,180
YouTube launch broadcast and though our

5813
04:18:25,309 --> 04:18:22,979
coverage here at Kennedy Space Center is

5814
04:18:27,889 --> 04:18:25,319
concluding Cruise six's Mission has only

5815
04:18:28,910 --> 04:18:27,899
just begun and you know it well Raja

5816
04:18:30,170 --> 04:18:28,920
when you go up into the International

5817
04:18:32,510 --> 04:18:30,180
Space Station

5818
04:18:34,250 --> 04:18:32,520
you really enjoyed the ride getting

5819
04:18:36,050 --> 04:18:34,260
there because that's when the work

5820
04:18:37,910 --> 04:18:36,060
starts exactly yeah so it's actually a

5821
04:18:40,309 --> 04:18:37,920
really nice period of time here you got

5822
04:18:41,990 --> 04:18:40,319
some time to look out the window uh

5823
04:18:43,969 --> 04:18:42,000
enjoy your time you spend a lot of time

5824
04:18:46,010 --> 04:18:43,979
in the Sim the dragon Sim whether it's

5825
04:18:48,710 --> 04:18:46,020
out at Hawthorne or the the ones out in

5826
04:18:51,170 --> 04:18:48,720
Houston but it's nice to actually you

5827
04:18:53,389 --> 04:18:51,180
know now enjoy the ride and take it all

5828
04:18:55,670 --> 04:18:53,399
in especially for the the three rookies

5829
04:18:58,130 --> 04:18:55,680
get used to some space adaptation moving

5830
04:18:59,330 --> 04:18:58,140
around in microgravity before you get on

5831
04:19:01,070 --> 04:18:59,340
the space station because as soon as you

5832
04:19:03,889 --> 04:19:01,080
show up in the space station man it is

5833
04:19:06,050 --> 04:19:03,899
busy it is fun but it is busy

5834
04:19:08,210 --> 04:19:06,060
time to get to work next up is our post

at nasa.gov including that link we'll

5845
04:19:38,630 --> 04:19:36,960
have it in there in the description of

5846
04:19:40,610 --> 04:19:38,640
the mission audio stream if you want to

5847
04:19:43,250 --> 04:19:40,620
stick with cruise 6 during their entire

5848
04:19:45,229 --> 04:19:43,260
Journey to the space station well before

5849
04:19:47,210 --> 04:19:45,239
we want to sign off here at Kennedy I

5850
04:19:48,469 --> 04:19:47,220
want to thank rajachary for being on the

5851
04:19:51,050 --> 04:19:48,479

04:20:18,950 --> 04:20:17,100
the human Landing system for the Artemis

5867
04:20:20,929 --> 04:20:18,960
program and people are really excited

5868
04:20:22,490 --> 04:20:20,939
about that yeah they should be it's it's

an amazing time we've we're seeing what

5870
04:20:25,490 --> 04:20:23,640
we're doing in low earth orbit and that

5871
04:20:27,410 --> 04:20:25,500
is just the first step man we are going

5872
04:20:29,349 --> 04:20:27,420
back to the Moon to stay and onto Mars

5873
04:20:31,490 --> 04:20:29,359
and it is a great time to be in space

5874
04:20:33,830 --> 04:20:31,500
congratulations on watching your first

5875
04:20:36,229 --> 04:20:33,840
launch and congratulations to the space

lovebirds out there at the Kennedy Space

5877
04:20:41,150 --> 04:20:38,460
Center who tied well at least had the

5878
04:20:42,590 --> 04:20:41,160

there go our two Mission Specialists as

5900
04:21:49,729 --> 04:21:47,340
they cross the hatch be very careful

5901
04:21:51,170 --> 04:21:49,739
five-point harness just to save wear and

5902
04:21:54,410 --> 04:21:51,180
tear on the suits a lot of times the

5903
04:21:57,170 --> 04:21:54,420
ground crew will help with doing that

5904
04:21:59,860 --> 04:21:57,180
as we watch the SpaceX closeout crew

5905
04:22:01,630 --> 04:21:59,870
