[ Indistinct talking ]
-It makes for an exciting video, a video of us standing here.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-Able to stand in position for long periods of time.
-Smile. -[ Chuckles ]
-Being an astronaut isn't all glamour.
-Put Nancy in the middle? -Hold on.
-There we go. That would work.
-These are my posse.
-Put the black hole over his head,
and he looks like he's already sucked halfway there.
-Now we're talking.
-We could put a big "C" on your shoulder or something.
-Hey, Mike. Go ahead and come in for me.
[ Clears throat ]
-Like that?
Thank you.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Oh!
-He's impressed.
-So, how many have families coming?
-Everybody. -Everybody?
Wow. -Except me. -Minus one.
-Rick's got the cheerleaders coming.
-No such luck.
-[ Laughing ]
-[ Laughs ]
-You're observing some hits.
-Oh, no, they're going to leave it in.
[ Light laughter ]
-Here we go, crack a smile. Ready? One, two.
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
-Okay. -But that looks good, too.
-You know, that's the way it was when I got it.
-Probably shoot it and then gonna have to see how it looks.
-Yeah, I think we should shoot a few like this.
I kind of agree with you, but we'll see.
-Much better than the arm thing.
-Yeah, coming back from that.
-This was the one before.
-Scooter, you just need to go like this.
That pose, just like...
[ Laughter ]
-I think we should do one final one.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-This, these are my crew.
-Yep, I'm still short.
-Bring in your... -Yeah.
-This is it.
-I like -- I like that. -It doesn't look bad.
-Yeah. -It looks really even, doesn't it?
-As a matter of fact, it's very symmetrical.
-This one is better. -Oh, look, we're even. Yeah.
-Yeah. The shuttle ones are like, "Whoa."
-It's very symmetrical. -He looks like Lurch.
-Yeah, look at just the difference.
-Yep.
-All right. Let's go up.
Hey, did you do this before? -Once or twice.
-[ Speaks indistinctly ]
-Right.
-Put your neck ring over the top of it.
-Okay.
-Here we go.
-Just got to pull. -Yep.
-[ Speaks indistinctly ] -Yep.
-You're going to want to make sure...
Before you get up on that, you want to cinch these up.
-Okay.
-All righty.
I don't know -- -You know what you're doing?
-Are you certified to do this?
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Are we all set?
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Yeah, the head's also important.
-But then they decided to pull in the upper torso better.
-We've got thermostat.
-That's still not working? -I don't think it's the battery.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-The Sky Genies are packaged in little pouches...
The first thing you want to do is...
-Hmm? -Good.
This comes in? -You want to bend over and do like this?
-Actually, undo this a little bit.
-What's that? -Just have him sit here.
-We could just push the button and send you up now.
-Say again? -We could just push the button
and send you up now. -[ Laughs ]
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Yeah, hey! -Higher! Higher!
-Right. -And also...
-Okay, and there's your release you're going to use, okay?
Raise your helmet.
Before you get in your seat,
I want you to just kind of climb up a seat forward
and just poke your head out over the overhead.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Are there enough of these, one for everybody, or...?
-Yeah, one per person. There's seven of them.
-Right. -Okay?
This sky beam is attached to the orbiter for a cable,
so even if you toss this thing out the window, doesn't matter,
'cause you end up throwing them away.
-Y'all went upstairs to the kids, didn't you?
-Yeah, yeah, that was -- She was with the kids.
-Right, but I think what actually happened...
-Okay?
Okay, come on down.
[ Indistinct talking ]
Okay, and do your release.
Okay, go ahead and raise your visor.
Pretty simple. Isn't that slick? Very few moving parts.
-Yeah.
-Otherwise, when you're trying to connect it
while you're holding on to the rope bag,
9 times out of 10, you'll probably drop the rope bag,
and then you've got 50 feet of rope to get.
Okay, and release.
Good. Raise your visor.
-Okay.
-Ready?
-Okay, thanks.
-Just grab the rope and toss it out the window.
-Everybody has one? -Yes, there's seven altogether, okay?
That way, you've got two hands free to hook this thing up.
You don't have to worry about trying to hold on to the rope.
-Okay. -The rope will come out of its bag once you toss it.
Just throw the bag. -Throw the bag?
-Yeah. -It's attached to this already?
-Yes. -Okay.
-Actually, this is all one piece of rope here,
and this kind of passes through a bar inside this thing.
This kind of protects the backside of your hands
when you're sliding down. -But this is taking the weight? I'm not holding this?
-That's right.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-I don't think we can do anything right now.
-Can we bend these? -Yeah, I did make some comments.
-And together.
-All right? -Lower this.
-Ready? -Yeah.
-That was the greatest thing. -Okay.
-Come down, Mike.
-Okay, this is your release. Pull on this.
Pull it. Okay?
-Hey, thanks. Thank you. -It's hard walking on the foam.
Gonna get your helmet off. -Okay, great. Thanks.
-Okay. -Okay.
-As you probably recall, the Sky Genies are...
Otherwise, you're trying to hold on to the rope
while you, you know, drop.
-Right.
-Toss the rope.
[ Talking indistinctly ]
You rotate this and push it.
This is your release.
-Yep. -Man!
-Now, before you lock it down, what you'll do a lot of times...
-Mm-hmm. -...is you get it back there
and have her move her head forward.
Kind of pulls her hair out so it doesn't get stuck in the ring in the back.
-Okay.
-You have a couple more to go? -I did two.
[ Talking indistinctly ] Is that okay?
-Yeah, that's where he's supposed to be, seat five.
He's in seat five.
Yeah, we're doing ascend seat.
[ Hammering ]
[ Saw whirring ]
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Left hand here, just like that. -Okay.
-Right hand on the rope.
Tension on the rope is what keeps you from falling,
so if you forget your straps or anything,
do it with your left hand, okay? -Okay.
-Okay, release.
-It was like, "What are you trying to say?"
-I wonder if they're ready. Are they ready for me, you think?
-Annie, are you ready?
Yep. -Okay.
-Oh, it is 7:15. -Yeah.
-Oh, I guess I won't be doing that, then.
What's a little blood?
-Killing it.
[ Laughs ]
-I graduated in California, but I came back here.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-[ Chuckles ] Better get out of the way fast.
This guy's not wasting any time.
Twisted up around the side of the pocket.
-Get your paddles turned on here.
-[ Sighs ]
-Okay. -Did you have fun?
-[ Chuckles ] Yeah, that was fun.
-Did you make it through the hole okay?
-Yeah, it was all right. I think the EVA training helps.
-Yeah. -I'm always getting stuck like, "What? What?"
You know what I mean? So a little shimmy, a little struggle,
no problem.
-Go back behind this line now.
[ Clicking ]
-I'm guessing we might be a degree a little bit too far.
I'm going to do it back just...
Come across.
-Um...
It's getting pretty close.
-Oh, positive. We'll take it out.
I'm going to check our clearance real quick.
I don't even see it. I think I'll leave that up for right now
because we are driving positive.
Driving the elbow positive.
-See, and now "D" looks a little --
Looks just a little over the OTA bay.
-What do you think? I'm happy with it.
You happy?
I think we have a happy...
-Okay. -You don't think so?
-No, I do. It's just it seems like, in "A," you're right on,
and in "D," it seems like --
-But I'm looking at -- -But I think it's --
I think it's fine. Okay.
-Okay, I'm happy with that. -Okay.
-Okay, wrist pitch. -Mm-hmm, I see wrist pitch.
-Okay, we're taking it from minus 73.8 to minus 3.6,
so quite a ways, almost to 0.
-70 degrees. -Yep.
Okay, so "check wrist pitch" selected? -It is.
-Okay. What the view looks like.
-Can you see that torquer bar you're holding there?
-I can't see it. -See, it's showing up outside,
but it doesn't look so good here.
-Because most of the reference was with respect to the high gain.
Okay. -You're in business.
-Yes, and one of the fixed joints.
-Yeah. Elbow?
-Do your best.
-It looks like it's coming up toward the torquer bar.
[ Beeps ]
-You're good. 36.
Okay, then we'll bring it to 36.
-Get it?
How about 36.4?
We would be -- We would be --
[ Clicking ]
-[ Speaks indistinctly ] You see that?
-Mm-hmm.
There you are.
Where is that overlay?
-See the right one? -Yeah.
-And the camera, I'd say you're about 3 feet.
[ Clicking ]
-Definitely in.
So I'm going to auto mode.
-Okay.
-Recognizing the picture.
Mark.
-Open. -[ Speaks indistinctly ]
-Got close, got capture. Lost expanded.
-I see it.
Why would it be in a different -- It's not.
-Oh.
-Shoulder the arm away.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-That's good. Stand up. I'll get him -- get him...
Hyah!
-It's a good fit.
-Yeah, the Velcro here is pretty well blown.
We're unlikely to keep that closed.
-What was that thing about noise?
[ Indistinct talking ]
-You got what? The real one?
-Break them in for you. -Oh, cool.
-I did this 1,000 times. -Don't break anything.
-All right. I see your hand coming through the top.
-That's it.
-Bladder in the left arm
really feels bunched up getting into it today.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Shall we?
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Good God!
-I guess we should have lost a few pounds over the weekend.
Suddenly, I feel taller.
-Okay, here we go.
[ Grunts ]
-Good? Am I good?
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Now, what they were saying is...
Ready? -Yeah.
-Here, help.
-Space helmet on, Captain.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-It's all yours.
[ Indistinct talking ]
[ Hissing ]
-Good job! Yeah!
-Whoo-hoo!
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Yeah, bump it. Bump it back, Todd.
-Yeah.
-Top bolt of the -- the sixth one.
-Okay, four and a half [indistinct] are complete and...
-John could do the... -[ Speaks indistinctly ]
Does it look like it's been -- It hasn't been rotated yet.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-After John takes these connectors off,
I'm gonna have them redeployed to PDM
because that's how it would really be. -Four or five hours.
-[ Speaks indistinctly ]
-Yeah, he's right here.
-He goes up this thing.
-He holds right here, even with this.
-They should put Rick up there now.
-Well, it says between bay eight and nine.
He should be over here.
He goes up this -- Wait a minute.
Yeah, he goes up here, right, gets himself up here,
scrambles up this thing.
Then he can get to this handrail.
Then he's over here, and he waits for...
-See, the end --
See the end comes out on the side? -Yeah.
-That's gonna be more of a problem.
-Fun.
-I'm trying it on the left side today.
-Yeah.
-They got three glasses of --
They got something --
-I'm gonna need help getting up.
Thanks.
-I was like, "Hey, yours are over there."
-Don't be giving me his.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Okay. And my plenum is all screwed up in the back.
-Back?
-Once I'm in, I'm fine.
-Okay.
-[ Grunts ]
-Thanks.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Okay.
-Thank you, sir.
-Chris, if you don't mind another...
-11 it is.
-Thank you.
-Yeah, that'd be a good idea. Thanks.
Okay. If you guys can check the drink bag and the vent.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-I'm going to hold it there. Go for your IDB.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Turtle. Turtle, man.
Nose down.
-James! James!
Other James!
Other James! Newman!
-How do you feel like it is?
[ Speaks indistinctly ]
-2-5-7-3-7.
-Got it?
[ Indistinct talking ]
-What time is that supposed to end?
-I think like 8:00.
-I thought it was 7:00.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-For Mike. -Go ahead.
-[ Speaks indistinctly ]
-Does it work?
-Is that correct? -Yeah, it looks good, but...
-Okay.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Go ahead and get your ratchet. -Okay.
-It'll be counterclockwise.
-Okay.
Mike, I concur. It should be push button and foot paddle.
So it looks good. -When we get there.
So I'm not sure if that's -- -I'm watching that, too,
and I'm wondering why it's going up,
and also, I'm also trying to watch what they're doing.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-And then under "edit," "select options."
[ Speaks indistinctly ]
-Hey, Mike, if you can go ahead
and plug it into the forward latch.
As soon as you've got your hand on it,
Jim can take his tool off.
-You guys want to use them on Monday,
or should I give them...
-[ Speaks indistinctly ]
-Hey, thanks.
-Okay, I want to check that just once.
-Yeah.
-Oh, no.
-Grits. Grits today.
Grits. Life is good. -All right.
-We all have grits today.
-Okay, everybody, remember how this works --
score, my comments.
-I've already submitted my menu. -I know.
I was so excited about that. They'll do great.
-You're making us look bad. -Yeah.
-I just want to, like, get the whole taste sensation
before I do that, you know, see what else I can...
-Cleanse the palate? -You going to take a picture?
-Are they required to get food for that day
when you're not going to be in cabin,
to order it like a lunch,
or could they skip lunch if that's what their intent is?
-Thank you.
-That is your...
-Personal call, whether or not they want the food.
-That's your discretion between you and the flight surgeon.
And then, as long as your flight surgeon agrees,
you cannot stow lunch and stow dinner
for when you come back in, if you want to do that.
But I will tell you, overall,
that's not going to save that much volume.
-Okay. -It's 10 meals.
Actually, it's probably 12 meals.
-Do not stow those lunches for those days.
-What is it? -Raspberry yogurt.
-I assume we can go with that.
I mean, we'd have to get medical concurrence on that,
but we can -- -So your nominal plan going in
is everybody orders a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner
for every day, regardless of what they're doing.
-That's the nominal working plan, yeah.
-Okay. And we may debate about deviating from that...
-Mm-hmm, yeah, but the point is, you're going to stow it.
-Yeah, I guess that would be a big thing if it was --
-I mean, that would be... -If we all shared a tray.
-...a tray and a half.
-What about breakfast on those days?
-Yes, you'd have breakfast and dinner, for sure.
-You could have a big breakfast. -I guess he's not a grits fan.
-Lived in the South.
-Grits are pretty good. -It's been a long time, but I still...
-I never knew what grits were, literally.
-Used to wallpaper your house.
-Billy Bob turned out. He liked them.
-I always thought it was cream of wheat.
-So, it's not --
-[ Speaks indistinctly ]
You know, when you're camping, cook grits as...
-All right. All right. All right. Yeah, cream of wheat.
"Hey, these grits don't taste right." No, it was...
-This is a beef enchilada.
-This is the dried beef.
-Hey, the...
-The wallpaper in the orbiter needs fixed.
-Yeah?
-Exactly.
-The Out of This World jerky made SpaceNews -- big article.
-Yes.
-Is that what that is? -No, this is beef fajitas.
-Mm-hmm, well...
-This might be pretty good, too, I'm thinking.
-But what other commercial reason is there?
-This is what we've done. We're up to number eight.
-What do you mean? -Number eight already?
-But it's just funny because -- -The only reason anybody pursues
commercial benefit agreements -- -Because I'm a knucklehead.
-Which way does this go?
-But they had already had it advertised, though, you know,
as one of those products...
-Do you want to try...?
-Can you just throw them all in little pieces on?
-You good? -Whatever's available.
-Is this beef stew? -It's the beef fajita.
-Oh, okay.
-Hmm.
The beef fajita looks a little juicy.
Is that, in the pouch, sort of the way it comes?
-Is that all the liquid in the fajitas?
-Looking at the pouch.
I know I'm trying to do it, but I think I forget.
-Oh, yeah, those were beef fajitas.
-The sauce is bad.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-How about Froot Loops or Trix or Cocoa Krispies?
-Did you guys know that, by a big margin,
Cheerios is the number-one cereal in the United States?
I don't know if you remember from 103,
when I made the comment and everybody laughed,
Cheerios are a more structurally-sound cereal.
-Delicious!
-Let's laugh again.
-No. What did we just have?
-Let's get engineering on it. -I'm just asking.
-This stuff has more spice in here. -Yeah.
-Right now, for me to add items to the shuttle menu
means I have to pay USA...
Entrées and vegetables, and that's what we chose to add.
-Okay. -Yeah.
We had a limited amount of items that we could develop,
and we chose the items that we thought...
-And fresh food. It's just, it's bulky.
-You mean they would not be in a pouch with dried milk?
-We can package them for you and put them in fresh food.
[ Indistinct talking ] -Okay.
-We can do that. -Okay. We'll take you up on that.
-It's like Cheez Whiz. -Yeah, we can do that.
-It's just, right now, we cannot put it in a menu tray
because it's not a new item. -Okay.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-So when reading the box,
just remember what the ulterior motive of these MREs is.
-You don't have to do that. -Oh, you guys can do that?
-To minimize your sanitation problems. -You can replace it.
Yeah, if you're out of Velcro, you could use the Cheez Whiz.
-Oh, was that the cashew chicken that went by?
Chicken? Then I ate it and totally forgot.
-It was real spicy. Pretty good. -Yeah, it was good.
-Yes, cashew curry chicken.
-It's got rave reviews at this end of the table.
-It tasted like Cheerios to me. I don't know what was going on there.
-You have Cheerios on the brain, John.
-Power of suggestion, huh? -That was good.
-It's going to be the Cheerios for me.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-It should be back now, right? -What's that?
Oh, never mind. -Yes, it is.
-This one is totally dead.
-The top one.
[ Machine beeps ]
-And go and hit "file" and "reset."
-Reset server?
You're still zoomed in.
Okay, things are getting worse.
Okay, couldn't get much worse than that.
What did you want -- Yeah.
-Dave, can you get me the window here again?
Just about halfway done. You agree?
-Yeah.
-We can't do that.
Or after I'm done...
-You mean him fly the shuttle? -Yes.
[ Indistinct talking ]
Okay, I see it.
Let's wait for nighttime. -Yeah.
Yeah. You're about 3 inches off the pin --
pin overlap halfway down below.
-Okay.
-It's drifting.
It's in kind of a pitching mode.
-Am I rolling? -Yeah.
You're going to see it. Yeah, there's a roll.
He was MS one. He was John.
It's kind of rolling, pitching into you a little bit.
Okay. -I can't see the pitch from the right.
We can see the pitch off the spin maybe.
Start coming around.
-It's not helping.
-Can you zoom in anymore?
Okay, great, great.
How did my joining look?
-No, nothing to worry about.
-It's gonna look really sensitive
because of the screen zoom. -Yeah, because of the zoom.
You're a foot or so out.
A short pitch is coming down now.
I think your joints all look good.
You're 6 inches out. Got it.
-We need more. -Three inches.
-I think you've got it lined up.
That's looking pretty good on the other camera.
Just about to pin overlap.
Pin overlap...halfway down.
-See it?
-Go.
I'm not sure it's doing much.
I'd be guessing for a while.
[ Indistinct talking ]
-Well, the pitch is going up.
But you have room.
Hmm.
Four feet out.
-Must have been beyond.
Okay. So you guys are going to put roots on it, right,
transitional roots, and we're going to see whether...
-Doing good.
Keep coming.
-Come back? -Yeah.
Three inches.
Come on up and overlap.
Halfway down. I can't really see the pin. -Okay.
-I think you're there.
That is the one problem with this.
If it drifts like that, you're going to lose --
-Yeah, because the "A" kind of got bad.
