00:02:22.133,00:02:26.267
-Good morning, Houston.
We got a bunch of logs up here.

00:02:26.267,00:02:27.834
-Good morning, Endeavour.

00:02:27.834,00:02:30.367
I hope that you
slept well tonight.

00:02:35.000,00:02:36.701
-Absolutely.

00:02:42.934,00:02:44.267
-This is Mission
Control Houston.

00:02:44.267,00:02:47.534
We now have live television
from the cameras

00:02:47.534,00:02:50.033
in Endeavour's cargo bay.

00:02:50.033,00:02:52.167
Endeavour currently above
the Southern Pacific Ocean

00:02:52.167,00:02:53.634
on a track
that will have it

00:02:53.634,00:02:59.067
to make landfall
above Central America.

00:02:59.067,00:03:01.801
This view showing
the solar panels,

00:03:01.801,00:03:05.067
the new solar arrays
that were installed by the crew

00:03:05.067,00:03:07.367
on the second space
walk of the mission

00:03:07.367,00:03:09.434
and that were
unfurled yesterday.

00:03:29.167,00:03:31.601
-Endeavour, Houston
on the big picture.

00:03:36.267,00:03:38.734
-All right, Houston,
go ahead.

00:03:38.734,00:03:41.000
-Covey, we'd like you
to go ahead

00:03:41.000,00:03:42.968
and now perform the maneuver

00:03:42.968,00:03:44.767
that you've got loaded up
for 18:00,

00:03:44.767,00:03:46.934
and I'll tell you why.

00:03:46.934,00:03:50.868
We have been spending a lot of
time looking at DIU-2 telemetry,

00:03:50.868,00:03:55.267
and we now conclude
that we do see more

00:03:55.267,00:03:57.734
than just data dropouts
in that telemetry.

00:03:57.734,00:04:00.601
We're looking at the signature
of the power control unit,

00:04:00.601,00:04:04.634
and it is indicating that
there is some troubleshooting

00:04:04.634,00:04:09.033
that is worthwhile to perform
before we deploy this thing,

00:04:09.033,00:04:13.300
primarily having to do
with the A side of the DIU.

00:04:13.300,00:04:15.133
So what we want to do is spend

00:04:15.133,00:04:19.400
the next two to three revs doing
this troubleshooting.

00:04:19.400,00:04:21.667
It involves going to
internal power

00:04:21.667,00:04:24.534
once we get to our next sunset

00:04:24.534,00:04:28.868
and then swapping
to the B side of that DIU.

00:04:28.868,00:04:30.601
And in addition to that,
we're also checking out

00:04:30.601,00:04:35.634
the functionality of
the battery charge relays.

00:04:35.634,00:04:40.000
All of this is going to take
at least two revs to accomplish,

00:04:40.000,00:04:41.367
and because of that,

00:04:41.367,00:04:46.167
we are definitely going to delay
to deploy by two revs.

00:04:46.167,00:04:48.300
During the next couple hours,
we're going to be looking at

00:04:48.300,00:04:50.200
all of this
troubleshooting information,

00:04:50.200,00:04:55.100
and by MET of 20 hours,
we hope to have a decision

00:04:55.100,00:04:57.801
of whether or not
we will actually deploy today.

00:04:57.801,00:05:00.300
This will, of course,
depend on what we see

00:05:00.300,00:05:02.567
over the next couple revs.

00:05:02.567,00:05:05.868
In the meantime,
we'd like you guys to sit tight.

00:05:05.868,00:05:07.200
Don't perform any maneuvers.

00:05:07.200,00:05:09.033
We like the attitude
we're in right now.

00:05:09.033,00:05:12.334
We will give you a call
for the internal power steps,

00:05:12.334,00:05:14.000
and we want you
to just relax for a while

00:05:14.000,00:05:16.100
and then bask in the glow
of all the great work

00:05:16.100,00:05:17.968
you've been doing the last week.

00:05:23.834,00:05:26.534
-Okay.
Well, we understand, Susan,

00:05:26.534,00:05:30.834
and we've got plenty of work
to do other than the deploy,

00:05:30.834,00:05:33.100
and we're taking care
of that stuff now,

00:05:33.100,00:05:36.067
getting tools put back
together and stowed,

00:05:36.067,00:05:38.734
and we'll continue
working those things.

00:05:38.734,00:05:40.934
My understanding is there's
nothing in the flight plan

00:05:40.934,00:05:44.601
that you want us to do then
until you give us a call.

00:05:48.300,00:05:49.634
-That's correct, Covey.

00:05:49.634,00:05:51.200
If we decide that we need
to put you to work

00:05:51.200,00:05:53.667
on something else in order
to make our time more efficient

00:05:53.667,00:05:55.968
for the next couple days,
we will call you.

00:07:32.267,00:07:33.701
-This is
Mission Control Houston.

00:07:33.701,00:07:38.300
This view from Discovery
shows the other cargo on board

00:07:38.300,00:07:39.868
other than
the Hubble Space Telescope

00:07:39.868,00:07:43.467
servicing equipment,
an IMAX camera,

00:07:43.467,00:07:46.634
which has been filming
the work by the crew

00:07:46.634,00:07:48.868
for an upcoming IMAX movie.

00:08:56.934,00:08:59.567
This is the Space Telescope
Operations Control Center

00:08:59.567,00:09:03.601
at the Goddard Space Flight
Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

00:09:03.601,00:09:06.000
At present, the analysis
is continuing.

00:09:06.000,00:09:08.767
Again, the problem is with one
of the Data Interface Units.

00:09:08.767,00:09:12.167
It was a problem that appeared
earlier this afternoon

00:09:12.167,00:09:14.601
and is not related
to a computer problem,

00:09:14.601,00:09:16.334
which was being analyzed
last night.

00:09:16.334,00:09:17.934
That computer problem
was cleared up

00:09:17.934,00:09:21.167
and found to be related
to poor communications,

00:09:21.167,00:09:22.734
basically just
radio interference

00:09:22.734,00:09:26.033
in the communications
between the ground and the

00:09:26.033,00:09:30.100
orbiter that were causing
basically glitches in the data

00:09:30.100,00:09:32.033
that was being received
on the ground.

00:09:32.033,00:09:33.367
Again, it's been confirmed

00:09:33.367,00:09:35.567
that the onboard computer
for the telescope

00:09:35.567,00:09:37.534
and the coprocessor
that was added to it

00:09:37.534,00:09:39.667
by astronauts
is in excellent health.

00:09:39.667,00:09:43.901
That was confirmed by telescope
controllers yesterday

00:09:43.901,00:09:45.634
or early this morning.

00:09:48.534,00:09:51.701
Current problem is with one
of four Data Interface Units

00:09:51.701,00:09:56.501
on the telescope, this one,
Data Interface Unit number two.

00:09:56.501,00:09:59.534
All of the Data Interface
Units have backup equipment.

00:09:59.534,00:10:02.300
In each Data Interface Unit
are two circuit cards,

00:10:02.300,00:10:04.667
and on each circuit card
are two sides,

00:10:04.667,00:10:06.467
two completely identical sides

00:10:06.467,00:10:09.501
that perform backup functions
for one another.

00:10:09.501,00:10:11.467
The current problem
is on -- believed to be on

00:10:11.467,00:10:12.801
one of the circuit cards

00:10:12.801,00:10:15.267
for Data Interface Unit
number two

00:10:15.267,00:10:17.601
on one side of the circuit card,

00:10:17.601,00:10:21.567
on side A of that circuit card.

00:10:21.567,00:10:23.501
And the focus of
the current analysis

00:10:23.501,00:10:26.434
is to ensure that the telescope
is in good health

00:10:26.434,00:10:29.000
with the backup equipment
and analyze

00:10:29.000,00:10:30.767
the exact nature
of the current problem

00:10:30.767,00:10:34.667
that's been seen on that circuit
card to see if indeed

00:10:34.667,00:10:38.067
it can be corrected from the
ground as well as to ascertain

00:10:38.067,00:10:40.100
that if there is anything
that can be done onboard

00:10:40.100,00:10:44.267
Endeavour to ensure that nothing
can be done onboard

00:10:44.267,00:10:46.968
to correct the problem
and if there is something

00:10:46.968,00:10:50.834
that can be done onboard
what it might be.

00:10:50.834,00:10:54.701
Again, the main belief is that
there is not a problem

00:10:54.701,00:10:59.133
in deploying the telescope
in its current state

00:10:59.133,00:11:00.934
but just that more insight
is needed

00:11:00.934,00:11:02.667
on the exact nature
of the problem,

00:11:02.667,00:11:08.033
as well as to ensure that the
backup equipment is working well

00:11:08.033,00:11:12.033
and that any corrective actions
that could be made

00:11:12.033,00:11:15.000
with it in the shuttle's
cargo bay

00:11:15.000,00:11:17.267
will be attempted
before it's deployed.

00:11:21.667,00:11:23.033
-Houston, Endeavour.

00:11:23.033,00:11:25.801
Step 2 -- Transferred
internal power at 7 days,

00:11:25.801,00:11:29.367
one-niner hours, 8:30.

00:11:29.367,00:11:31.067
-Copy.

00:11:45.100,00:11:48.934
-This is the Space Telescope
Operations Control Center

00:11:48.934,00:11:52.133
at the Goddard Space Flight
Center in Greenbelt, Maryland,

00:11:52.133,00:11:54.434
with that call from mission
specialist Kathy Thornton

00:11:54.434,00:11:56.501
confirming
that the space telescope

00:11:56.501,00:11:58.868
has now been switched to its own
internal power sources,

00:11:58.868,00:12:02.267
the next step in this
troubleshooting procedure

00:12:02.267,00:12:03.667
during this night pass.

00:12:03.667,00:12:05.434
Endeavour now is on
the nighttime side of Earth

00:12:05.434,00:12:09.167
with about -- a little
under 33 minutes left to go

00:12:09.167,00:12:12.701
before sunrise comes again
for the spacecraft.

00:12:12.701,00:12:15.434
The next step is disconnection
of the umbilical

00:12:15.434,00:12:18.467
through which electrical power
has been fed to the telescope

00:12:18.467,00:12:21.534
throughout its stay
in the cargo bay

00:12:21.534,00:12:23.634
and the space telescope

00:12:23.634,00:12:27.234
now already operating off of
its own battery power onboard.

00:14:34.968,00:14:36.834
-Endeavour, Houston with
the final chapter

00:14:36.834,00:14:38.534
of the big picture.

00:14:44.167,00:14:45.501
-Final chapter, sounds good.

00:14:45.501,00:14:46.934
Go ahead, Susan.

00:14:46.934,00:14:48.868
-Well, Covey,
I've got good news.

00:14:48.868,00:14:51.234
We have taken a look
at that data from the B side,

00:14:51.234,00:14:53.033
and it all checks out.

00:14:53.033,00:14:56.167
The HST project would like
to deploy today,

00:14:56.167,00:15:01.033
and so we are going to go ahead
and press toward a release.

00:15:01.033,00:15:04.467
We are going to uplink to you
a new replanned flight plan

00:15:04.467,00:15:06.033
that has moved
all of your activities

00:15:06.033,00:15:08.667
for that Rev 121 deploy,

00:15:08.667,00:15:10.300
and we just want to let you know
that right now,

00:15:10.300,00:15:14.234
there's no activity required
from you until about 21 hours

00:15:14.234,00:15:17.901
even when we'll be talking
about a Group B power-up.

00:15:17.901,00:15:20.934
We are hoping to get the uplink
through TIPS

00:15:20.934,00:15:23.834
of your new flight plan
within the next half hour.

00:15:26.701,00:15:31.534
-State that...to us,
and understand

00:15:31.534,00:15:35.167
that until 21:00 hours,
which will be the...

00:15:39.000,00:15:41.334
We'll have no scheduled
activity.

00:15:41.334,00:15:42.634
-And we're ZOE.
That's good.

00:15:42.634,00:15:44.334
Copy.

00:15:49.300,00:15:52.000
-This is television from
Endeavour's payload bay cameras

This view from the camera
at the end of the arm is...

00:17:19.701,00:17:22.100
The fixture is lined up.

00:17:44.801,00:17:47.100
And the payload deploy and
retrieval systems officer here,

00:17:47.100,00:17:50.400
the position with responsibility
for the mechanical arm,

00:17:50.400,00:17:53.434
reports that telescope
is now securely captured.

00:17:53.434,00:17:55.434
-Endeavour, that was
a beautiful grapple.

00:17:59.667,00:18:02.767
-Yeah, we were all commenting to
Claude what we thought about it.

00:18:15.601,00:18:17.667
-The crew is now opening
the latches,

00:18:17.667,00:18:19.501
three latches to be opened.

00:18:19.501,00:18:21.334
One of them is opened so far.

00:18:52.334,00:18:54.133
Latches continue to open.

00:18:58.767,00:19:00.067
Again, once all the latches
are open,

00:19:00.067,00:19:02.834
the next step will be
for Claude Nicollier

00:19:02.834,00:19:06.367
to lift the telescope
from its platform to position

00:19:06.367,00:19:10.267
just above the cargo bay,
position called low hover.

00:19:16.400,00:19:19.167
This is a view from a camera
mounted on the work platform

00:19:19.167,00:19:21.767
underneath the Hubble
that's there for a guidance

00:19:21.767,00:19:25.133
as the telescope
is lifted off the platform.

00:19:27.200,00:19:28.968
The alignment diagrams
are on the bottom

00:19:28.968,00:19:30.667
of the space telescope.

00:20:11.267,00:20:12.901
Now the payload deployer
retrieval systems

00:20:12.901,00:20:14.267
officer reports --

00:20:14.267,00:20:17.567
telescope is now about 2 feet up
above the platform

00:20:17.567,00:20:19.868
as Nicollier continues
to slowly raise it up

00:20:19.868,00:20:24.667
to first a position paused above
the cargo bay at low hover.

00:21:43.200,00:21:45.400
-Endeavour, it sure
is a pretty sight.

00:21:45.400,00:21:48.300
We're going to go ahead and put
the stop commands in work.

00:21:52.400,00:21:54.634
-Roger, Houston, and at this
very moment,

00:21:54.634,00:21:56.501
we're going right overhead
Houston,

00:21:56.501,00:22:00.634
looking at Houston
right between the solar arrays.

00:22:00.634,00:22:02.467
-Boy, that's got
to be some view.

00:22:09.601,00:22:12.367
-Endeavour, 30 seconds
to motion of the aperture door.

00:22:15.701,00:22:18.000
-Roger.
We're all eyes.

00:22:18.000,00:22:19.300
-Commands are being sent now

00:22:19.300,00:22:22.467
to open the
telescope's aperture door

00:22:22.467,00:22:25.534
and to activate
the mechanism's control unit

00:22:25.534,00:22:27.901
for the door emergency closure.

00:23:08.734,00:23:11.300
-Very nice.

00:23:11.300,00:23:13.868
-And we saw that.

00:23:23.400,00:23:26.267
-The snares that are
holding the telescope

00:23:26.267,00:23:28.534
to the end effector
have been released.

00:23:37.133,00:23:39.133
-Houston, we have
a good release.

00:23:39.133,00:23:43.901
TIG of SEP was 1 hour,
0 minutes, 22 seconds.

00:23:45.934,00:23:48.000
-Copy.
One hour, 0 minutes,

00:23:48.000,00:23:50.501
22 seconds, Covey,

00:23:50.501,00:23:52.701
and we have to say that
through your superb efforts,

00:23:52.701,00:23:55.267
you have really shown
that NASA can do all that

00:23:55.267,00:23:58.634
we promised to do and more,
and we very much appreciate it.

00:24:03.267,00:24:04.968
-Thanks.

00:24:11.200,00:24:14.100
-The sentiments of the payload
community,

00:24:14.100,00:24:17.701
and in fact all of
the flight control team,

00:24:17.701,00:24:21.400
expressed on the model in front
of the flight director console,

00:24:21.400,00:24:23.968
HST reopened for business,
completely renovated

00:24:23.968,00:24:32.734
now that the telescope is locked
onto the tracking and data

00:24:32.734,00:24:36.501
relay satellite,
transmitting data on its own.

00:24:44.534,00:24:48.400
-And we have a good end
effector view now.

00:24:48.400,00:24:50.100
-Okay.

00:25:26.801,00:25:29.934
-Do you like this, Houston?

00:25:29.934,00:25:31.634
-Oh, it's not bad.

00:27:11.601,00:27:14.267
-Houston, we're going to stop
this tape and put in a tape

00:27:14.267,00:27:16.868
of the D camera for you.

00:27:16.868,00:27:18.567
-Roger that, Covey.

00:27:25.834,00:27:28.534
-Houston, you should have
a view now.

00:27:28.534,00:27:32.934
-We've got a great
camera-delta shot.

00:27:32.934,00:27:34.634
-Okay.

00:27:39.000,00:27:43.667
-These being sent to us
from the crew are playbacks

00:27:43.667,00:27:45.901
of the actual release
of the telescope,

00:27:45.901,00:27:50.367
which occurred at 4:26
this morning, Central Time.

00:27:50.367,00:27:52.400
As soon as it was released
from the robot arm,

00:27:52.400,00:27:54.734
the Space Telescope
Operations Control Center

00:27:54.734,00:27:59.567
folks reported that it
immediately required the sun

00:27:59.567,00:28:02.234
or captured the sun
on the solar arrays.

00:29:36.701,00:29:40.033
-Hannah, I got to tell you,
these views are so spectacular

00:29:40.033,00:29:42.434
that over the course
of the last week,

00:29:42.434,00:29:44.968
we've seen so many
spectacular views

00:29:44.968,00:29:47.067
that you almost get numb to it.

00:29:47.067,00:29:51.801
They're still incredible though.

00:29:51.801,00:29:54.234
-We know what you mean.

00:29:58.901,00:30:01.367
It's hard to top the one
from the day before.

00:30:04.067,00:30:05.767
-You are right about that.

00:30:49.300,00:30:50.901
-Say, "Hello."

00:30:50.901,00:30:53.100
-Hello!

00:30:53.100,00:30:55.234
-Hello, sir.

00:30:57.467,00:31:00.167
-Can you hear us?

00:31:00.167,00:31:01.434
-Yes, sir.

00:31:01.434,00:31:04.000
I can hear you loud and clear.

00:31:04.000,00:31:07.067
-Well, the vice president
and I wanted to call you

00:31:07.067,00:31:09.234
and congratulate you
on one of the most spectacular

00:31:09.234,00:31:10.601
space missions in our history.

00:31:10.601,00:31:12.067
We're all so proud of you,

00:31:12.067,00:31:14.567
and we've been able to see you
do all those things.

00:31:14.567,00:31:17.667
It's just been wonderful,
and I want to thank each

00:31:17.667,00:31:19.868
and every one of you
for what you have done.

00:31:22.200,00:31:23.701
You made it look easy.

00:31:23.701,00:31:27.000
-Well, we appreciate the thanks
and congratulations, sir.

00:31:27.000,00:31:30.667
That's nice,
particularly coming from you.

00:31:30.667,00:31:34.167
As you know, great adventures
are once-in-a-lifetime

00:31:34.167,00:31:36.000
opportunities,
and the seven of us,

00:31:36.000,00:31:39.767
we're lucky to be able to be
part of this great adventure.

00:31:42.400,00:31:45.634
-I know that you know this,
but you have really both

00:31:45.634,00:31:49.634
educated and inspired people
all over the world.

00:31:49.634,00:31:53.434
I don't think any of us
will ever forget the image of KT

00:31:53.434,00:31:56.801
lifting the damaged solar panel
over her head

00:31:56.801,00:31:57.801
and then letting it go.

00:31:57.801,00:31:59.200
That was a moment of high drama.

00:31:59.200,00:32:01.868
Maybe you should come down here
and help us stage

00:32:01.868,00:32:04.400
our events on Earth.
[Chuckles]

00:32:08.334,00:32:10.934
-I think it's easier to throw
away solar panels.

00:32:10.934,00:32:14.100
[Laughter]

00:32:14.100,00:32:20.901
-I'm glad the press corp
heard you say that.

00:32:20.901,00:32:23.000
-This is Vice President Al Gore.

00:32:23.000,00:32:26.000
I want to also congratulate
all of you.

00:32:26.000,00:32:30.267
It was a fantastic mission
and still is,

00:32:30.267,00:32:36.934
and I think that most Americans
see your success not only

00:32:36.934,00:32:41.968
in terms of the specific mission
you have successfully performed

00:32:41.968,00:32:47.501
but also as a symbol of NASA
on the way back

00:32:47.501,00:32:53.567
and NASA being restored
to its place in our country,

00:32:53.567,00:32:55.667
inspiring future generations,

00:32:55.667,00:32:59.300
inspiring people
with the can-do spirit

00:32:59.300,00:33:04.133
that we associated NASA
with during most of its history,

00:33:04.133,00:33:09.100
and I think you can be proud
of that accomplishment as well.

00:33:09.100,00:33:13.033
I know that the spirit
of your mission

00:33:13.033,00:33:16.267
and the whole feeling
of the team on the ground

00:33:16.267,00:33:17.801
and everybody in NASA,

00:33:17.801,00:33:20.934
including Dan Goldin who is here
with the president and me,

00:33:20.934,00:33:26.167
has been just remarkable
and has symbolized NASA

00:33:26.167,00:33:30.000
turning the corner, if you will,
and coming back strong.

00:33:37.000,00:33:40.067
-Story Musgrave, sir, I'm
one of the EVA group members.

00:33:40.067,00:33:42.834
As you can see, we got come
different colors here.

00:33:42.834,00:33:44.300
The magenta,
I guess you call it,

00:33:44.300,00:33:45.834
are the spacewalkers,

00:33:45.834,00:33:51.767
and the ones in up front
there in navy blue,

00:33:51.767,00:33:55.334
they're the ones that took care
of us and launched us,

00:33:55.334,00:33:56.934
took care of us
during the space walks

00:33:56.934,00:33:58.834
and will bring us back home.

00:33:58.834,00:34:03.300
But what you say, what it took
was incredible attention

00:34:03.300,00:34:05.434
to detail and an incredible
amount of energy

00:34:05.434,00:34:08.601
to identify what surprises
might come up

00:34:08.601,00:34:11.267
and try to ensure
that we would get the job done,

00:34:11.267,00:34:13.300
an immense amount of training,
but I think it did.

00:34:13.300,00:34:16.567
The challenge was a very,
very ambitious mission

00:34:16.567,00:34:18.033
to restore Hubble,

00:34:18.033,00:34:22.367
or to fix the circle aberration
to restore Hubble

00:34:22.367,00:34:25.934
so it will be good for many,
many more years of science.

00:34:25.934,00:34:27.267
A very ambitious mission,

00:34:27.267,00:34:29.901
but it did take
the kind of stuff that we have,

00:34:29.901,00:34:33.434
and it's mostly attention
to detail, identify surprises,

00:34:33.434,00:34:35.133
turn over every stone,

00:34:35.133,00:34:37.033
and give it all
the energy we got.

00:34:39.067,00:34:40.534
-It also took at least
one person

00:34:40.534,00:34:45.667
who was making
his fifth journey into space.

00:34:45.667,00:34:46.901
I was looking,
and you can't imagine

00:34:46.901,00:34:49.534
what a wonderful picture
you are there.

00:34:49.534,00:34:51.133
You and the two men behind you
prove

00:34:51.133,00:34:54.234
that you can walk in space
with or without facial hair.

00:34:54.234,00:34:58.934
[Laughter]

00:34:58.934,00:35:06.300
I tell you...
Yeah, well, and he's both.

00:35:06.300,00:35:09.634
Another thing that you did,
I believe, to follow up

00:35:09.634,00:35:11.701
on what the vice president
was saying,

00:35:11.701,00:35:13.334
I think you gave
an immense boost

00:35:13.334,00:35:14.801
to the space program in general

00:35:14.801,00:35:19.534
and to America's
continuing venture in space.

00:35:19.534,00:35:21.834
In this last session
of Congress,

00:35:21.834,00:35:26.367
we had quite a struggle
to preserve the space station

00:35:26.367,00:35:28.400
and an adequate
ongoing budget for NASA

00:35:28.400,00:35:30.234
because we were cutting
so much else,

00:35:30.234,00:35:33.067
and I'm really gratified
that we were able to do it,

00:35:33.067,00:35:36.767
and I hope that
this stunning example

00:35:36.767,00:35:39.534
of what can be accomplished

00:35:39.534,00:35:45.434
will really reinforce
the support for America in space

00:35:45.434,00:35:47.000
both in the Congress
and in the country.

00:35:47.000,00:35:48.234
I think it will.

00:35:48.234,00:35:51.701
All of you were just
absolutely wonderful.

00:35:51.701,00:35:54.467
-We want to also add
a special welcome

00:35:54.467,00:35:57.267
to the Swiss member of your team

00:35:57.267,00:36:02.601
because it's really symbolic
to have an American shuttle

00:36:02.601,00:36:07.801
with a Canadian robotic device
operated by a Swiss astronaut.

00:36:07.801,00:36:11.234
It's symbolic of
the international nature

00:36:11.234,00:36:13.634
of the space program now,

00:36:13.634,00:36:17.234
and as we look forward
to even closer cooperation

00:36:17.234,00:36:21.000
and collaboration with Europe
and Canada and Japan

00:36:21.000,00:36:23.434
and now Russia,

00:36:23.434,00:36:28.601
the whole world will see
the space program once again

00:36:28.601,00:36:32.501
as a symbol of the highest
aspirations of humankind.

00:36:32.501,00:36:34.200
It's been a wonderful mission.

00:36:37.634,00:36:40.734
-Well, I feel very privileged
to have been selected

00:36:40.734,00:36:43.067
for this mission

00:36:43.067,00:36:45.534
as a representative
of the European Space Agency.

00:36:45.534,00:36:48.934
As you know, the European
nations participated

00:36:48.934,00:36:51.400
in this program in the design,
in the manufacturing,

00:36:51.400,00:36:53.901
and the exploitation
of the scientific results,

00:36:53.901,00:36:56.067
and I feel really
very privileged

00:36:56.067,00:36:58.100
and happy to have been selected
as a crew member,

00:36:58.100,00:37:00.200
as the foreign crew member
of this mission.

00:37:04.901,00:37:07.200
-Let's see.
Who have we not heard from?

00:37:07.200,00:37:08.567
The rest of you have to talk.

00:37:08.567,00:37:10.501
There's somebody back home
looking for you.

00:37:12.667,00:37:14.300
-Well, I was a little bit
remiss, sir,

00:37:14.300,00:37:16.567
and I didn't introduce
all of the crew.

00:37:16.567,00:37:20.534
Of course, you just heard
from Claude Nicollier.

00:37:20.534,00:37:22.367
The other member of
the orbiter crew

00:37:22.367,00:37:25.901
who did a lot of the mechanical
arm flying along with Claude

00:37:25.901,00:37:32.467
was my copilot, Ken Bowersox,
on my right here.

00:37:32.467,00:37:36.601
And the other EVA crew members
besides KT and Story

00:37:36.601,00:37:43.267
are Tom Akers on my far left
and Jeff Hoffman behind me.

00:37:43.267,00:37:46.067
I'm sure they would all like
to make a statement,

00:37:46.067,00:37:50.000
and I'll let Sox start off.

00:37:50.000,00:37:52.367
-Well, sir, I just want to say
I'm proud to be from a country

00:37:52.367,00:37:54.467
that supports efforts like this.

00:37:54.467,00:37:57.033
I think space exploration
reflects

00:37:57.033,00:38:00.200
continuing pioneering spirits
of the American people,

00:38:00.200,00:38:02.701
and I think it's something
we can all be proud of.

00:38:06.901,00:38:08.467
-Hello, Mr. President.

00:38:08.467,00:38:10.667
Thanks for your congratulations.

00:38:10.667,00:38:13.300
Of course, for every one of us
seven up here,

00:38:13.300,00:38:16.934
there are literally hundreds
of people on the ground

00:38:16.934,00:38:18.300
on the ground team

00:38:18.300,00:38:22.133
who have put just as much effort
and energy and talent

00:38:22.133,00:38:25.734
into this mission to make it as
a success as we have,

00:38:25.734,00:38:28.634
and they not only deserve
the credit for it,

00:38:28.634,00:38:30.968
but we sure wish
they could be up here with us.

00:38:35.000,00:38:39.801
-Mr. President, I think
that this mission is unique

00:38:39.801,00:38:42.501
in another way,
and that is that

00:38:42.501,00:38:46.234
it has really combined two
aspects of space exploration.

00:38:46.234,00:38:52.033
It has joined the use of space
for scientific exploration,

00:38:52.033,00:38:54.634
which the Hubble Telescope
is so exciting,

00:38:54.634,00:38:57.467
and everyone in
the astronomical community

00:38:57.467,00:39:00.934
and all over the world
is waiting to see the results

00:39:00.934,00:39:03.300
now of the newly
refurbished Hubble,

00:39:03.300,00:39:07.934
and it's joined that
with the human space program.

00:39:07.934,00:39:09.267
And this is very exciting,

00:39:09.267,00:39:12.801
and I think it is only
the first part of showing

00:39:12.801,00:39:16.501
what people and machines
and scientific exploration

00:39:16.501,00:39:20.367
and human ingenuity can do
in the environment of space.

00:39:25.767,00:39:28.000
-Well, thank you all.

00:39:28.000,00:39:32.501
Let me just say again
that we are all so proud of you,

00:39:32.501,00:39:37.167
and I appreciate what each
and every one of you have said.

00:39:37.167,00:39:39.534
It's a real clear message

00:39:39.534,00:39:41.901
about not only
your incredible abilities

00:39:41.901,00:39:45.167
and your courage and the support
you got from all those

00:39:45.167,00:39:47.000
hundreds of people
helping you back down here,

00:39:47.000,00:39:50.734
but of the profound importance
of our country

00:39:50.734,00:39:55.133
continuing
its adventures in space,

00:39:55.133,00:39:58.534
we depend on it down here for
so much scientific knowledge,

00:39:58.534,00:40:00.667
and we're going to do
what we can to support you

00:40:00.667,00:40:03.968
and to support NASA and to
support the space program,

00:40:03.968,00:40:08.501
and you have taken
an enormous step forward

00:40:08.501,00:40:10.968
for building that kind of
support not just in the minds

00:40:10.968,00:40:13.367
but in the hearts and the
spirits of the American people,

00:40:13.367,00:40:16.167
and you've done it
with great, good humor,

00:40:16.167,00:40:18.801
and we thank you so much.

00:40:18.801,00:40:19.934
Vice president?

00:40:19.934,00:40:20.934
-Thank you.

00:40:20.934,00:40:23.534
A wonderful,
inspiring success story.

00:40:25.968,00:40:27.934
-Well, we truly appreciate
those words,

00:40:27.934,00:40:32.400
and we thank you for taking
the time to talk with us now

00:40:32.400,00:40:35.100
and also for taking the time

00:40:35.100,00:40:38.834
to be supportive of
our nation's space programs.

00:40:38.834,00:40:42.300
It's very important to us,
and I can't tell you how proud

00:40:42.300,00:40:45.033
we are to be able
to represent those programs

00:40:45.033,00:40:48.767
and to be able to help
bring NASA back

00:40:48.767,00:40:52.968
to new heights
if we can do that.

00:40:52.968,00:40:54.734
-You already have.
Thanks.

00:40:56.767,00:40:58.400
-Thank you.

00:40:58.400,00:41:00.133
-Good luck.
