I hear about the only person around it doesn't have TV coverage of the face and
then they got the black up now you're gonna be the one getting a TV picture is
still yet we are getting a TV picture
10
dialing
yeah
ok here we are at the back of the ATV we're at the very back end of the space
station
we're going 18,000 miles an hour in this direction and so I'm going to kick off
and we'll do a quick fly through the stack of the International Space Station
no pass one things on the way
yeah
over
their table get got back
and adults especially with max is here
yeah
through the FTB like we got a nice nice and light path here should be able to
make you
right now the note1 station no problem what do I do
footbag mckellar on roll
the lab in the ball court
a little spin and 102 / alex crew quarters and here we are at the very
front end of the International Space Station still going 18,000 miles an hour
yeah
how embarrassed with the now Richards son
ok he asks do they planted the orbit space station you know what are you
gonna do about that their goalie orbit space station that at the end of its
life whenever that is and in concept we can keep up flying for a long long time
we have airplanes that were designed and built in the mid-fifties 4038 that we
are creating we probably shouldn't he resigned 15 built in the sixties and you
just keep rebuilding airframe rebuilding engines upgraded avionics you can fly
these Saints basically tell you run out of gas at a concept we could do that
with station and we could keep the station running for as long as we like
basically up until we reach the end point of the structural elements on
station and and when that time does come we will have to do your bidding
we're going to leave so 2024 yeah we're we're going to show it like with Hubble
what we did in our mission as we put a docking ring on the bottom of the
telescope was one of we want to ensure a guided entry when the thing is done i'm
going to send maybe 20-30 years from now me it made sites may be done hopefully
we have a lot more science with Hubble but even if it the science stops the
spaceship can still continue to orbit right yeah romantic adventures going to
come in so we have a document on the bottom of double for a rocket motor no
one has to be there to be an automated thing doc with it and guide it so it
doesn't get any more on the way down
so what if they have anything like that for stickers that's a big thing ya know
how when it D orbital it's going to be a controlled the ordinary and control
deorbit will use a russian progress vehicle
and instead of reboost good you should your your . by rocket thrusters the
other way it slow down your looks like android shown that the current drag
while she take a little and they'll probably do so they'll probably do that
so that the major part 3 and going over the ocean it focuses on a specific is a
really big ocean that would be the right place to put it
so in case anything survives coming out so you're not going to recover anything
know from space over and notice and it's another
yeah
I'll come up right yeah this is niall this is not a good green one
so you get a great shot of the Nile
clear beautiful day today
so there we get we got coming up on the rabbits the Red Sea

soon
there's grease
and a good friend from Greece growing up
excellent food
most of Europe is excellent
yeah that'll be the bay area that if you can't just this San Francisco is that
rite of trajectory not subject to drive every is a great shot of San Francisco
yeah
so interesting enough right there is edwards air force base that's another
place where i lived see the big dry lakebeds that's also were Palmdale and
Lancaster our energy to a weird space shuttle prank or station was built was
built down there
yeah
ok
beast
we get in the camera like a beautiful day and just talk to my wife at home
just 15 minutes ago she said the weather is beautiful down there
there is used in Texas
ok
Chicago yeah at the bottom of Lake Michigan

let's look a lot of snow now everything is clear day probably very cold
long island there's Connecticut
my home state my hometown of water very little that it's not even you can't even
see that so small
in New York City more close-up in new york city new york are you ready for
your close-up from the International Space Station good enjoy your Friday
night Friday night in New York
it's the end of January soon i'll be getting ready to leave
came up here last september's six weeks before Ricky so my time is nearly up
it's gonna be good to see my wife Julie the boys right Lucas we are exactly six
weeks away from mike will be landing here back in houston
not that I'm counting starting to become real nice to be home food so excited
about that here before launch I coach the middle across and hockey me
yep sure can where's Lucas playing I can tell he and Jeremy freedom I pinal
fortunately we have a video link so I've been able to keep track of their games
and be there in spirit if not in person
now that's alright keep fighting but it was really fun because my son had to
take a penalty shot and actually scored so that was fun for mikey is really kind
little bit more connected to the kids going it's hard I know you miss of that

yeah well that time we get over sure if we're gonna make it out today looks like
we're going to rent out your place real soon don't worry about me out .
inspection
you get excited Rick you gonna copy and NASA astronaut giving you a quick wave
farewell there
here's one from Peter man like you would a balloon pop in space so this is
interesting wouldn't even be able to lock and load el station because I've
done now because I process the balloons for my birthday celebration and all that
actually popped one and an eco pain and trouble for your kids complain about
that
no they know about it and you know that but anyways dad doing his best to have a
birthday party in spacing by mistake one balloon goes and yeah the ruin the whole
part ya up open about it temple balloon up in like makeup are cool
yeah that's all you professor propulsion their things differently than what
you're having
underground oh yeah because it doesn't have the effects of gravity doesn't
always being there Pollock our children and they're just stops and the fact that
it's great so it doesn't fall to the ground
yeah that's alright got all but in the vacuum of space like I wondering and
wondering if that's what he means that because you have less and less pressure
yeah well i think that would happen would be if we just keep expanding and
expanding expanding and then it would rupture on its own right i think similar
like what like a bag of potato chips in an airplane yeah you go on an airplane
out less pressure the bag becomes inflated yeah well quit how quick you
think it would happen i think what I think I have a plan
you know you want to get a hair lock day in space in the vacuum and yet
so quickly okay let's see
only person around it doesn't have TV coverage of the things and then they got
the black up now you're gonna be getting a TV picture now failure three are gay
Victor
one all
on my way
