 I'll be Houston, Simon on air to ground one and two when you're ready. Roger, Jim, the MMT had all players in on the meeting right through from the factory and the consensus is they just do not understand the behavior of fuel cell two even though your folks efforts have done a good job towards stabilizing the problem. It's significantly out of family and so it will shorten the mission and we're looking at a TIG on Tuesday for us down here that's in an MET of 3214 and of course we're looking at the various types of entries looking at procedures to reduce the load loss of one fuel cell type procedures and we'll be discussing those over the next couple hours. Exactly right if you could continue with the nominal timeline for now for completing as much science as possible and we've pretty much worked up the procedure to reduce the load and looking at potentially eventually safe in a fuel cell but we haven't made that decision yet we'll have words for you shortly. If you would like a face-to-face with some of the players down here we can easily set up an OCA video conference. We're probably helpful maybe your procedures and work out your plan and then we can have a face-to-face. Okay we'll pick a time in the next little while here. For you hello from Ronford among the experiments you're conducting your lighting as many as 200 small fires to study planes in space does this make you nervous at all? Safe we have a safety panel and both at Kelly's Space Center we have safety troops we have safety folks at Johnson Space Center they all work very hard to make sure all of our payloads are safe. The combustion experiments on this flight of course got extra attention it's one of the reasons why it's taken this long to fly rack-sized combustion experiments because in order to give the science investigators the access they need to run experiments yet still have the experiments be safe was a very difficult design issue and we've been involved in the last stage of that process and know that they work very hard and feel completely safe with the experiments we have on board. Thank you Roger Crouch you have managed missions from the ground but never been on a flight as we show our viewers some pictures of yesterday's launch describe for us what it felt like and was it what you expected? It wasn't quite what I expected I expected the first two minutes to be real real take a real long time because the solid rocket boosters were the things that really gave you a lot of thrust in fact though the first two minutes were over in about like 20 seconds it seemed to me like we were all on the middeck down below uh doing high fives and shaking hands with each other and after we got to the 50 mile limit the commander announced that we were truly in space from an astronaut point of view and we were just so elated it was like I get a little child maybe just screaming and all and about the first really great thing that ever done in their life I felt really super about it. Canada many of our viewers would like to know what it's like to be weightless in space describe for us what that's like and what problems it can pose for you. Flying with rookies like Roger and Greglyn Terrace other pair that's specialist is they say all the things that you remember happened on the first flight both Roger and Greg had been talking about how they feel like they're hanging upside down all the time which is true because the fluid shift causes the liquid that's normally pulled in your feet to shift up into your head and it feels like you're hanging upside down all the time there's a lot of things like that that sort of catch you by surprise but we've flown a lot of missions now we're the A3 third space shuttle mission and we've had a lot of experience with how to counteract those sentences and how to prepare yourself pre-flight and in-flight like drinking lots of fluids and eating lots of high fiber foods or taking other fiber supplements etc so we've got a pretty good plan for how to make sure that we can perform its full efficiency while we're up here. I guess the other thing that you feel to measure is just fun to float around in space it's just fun everything you do is tremendously enjoyable because you're completely free to float it's like you're a little kid in some kind of Peter Pan movie or something like that. The comments help off of course is drawing a lot of attention are you getting a good look at it right now this is for any one of you. We of course get to see it every time we have a sunset and we've been real busy the first couple days as you can imagine but Don Thomas and I got a good look at it with the binoculars just a few hours ago and it's it's really incredible to see it and to imagine that the last time human eyes saw that comet was when they were building the great permits 4,000 years ago and it really makes us feel special to be orbiting the earth in a spaceship looking at the earth and the comet in the same glance it also makes you wonder what human civilization will be like the next time the comet visits us and I think all of us here feel quite certain that that'll involve colonization of space and we're real proud to be part of the baby steps we're taking in that direction. We're wondering you know with with seeing you go up in space more often and seeing you on television do you think Americans still the same enthusiasm for this they had years ago? Well one of the things that I was privileged to do during the training was to go to a lot of elementary schools and talk to the children there and I do believe that there's a certain lethargy in a lot of the adults in America about the interest in the space program but when you talk to kids and you talk to them about space and their minds start to expand you can just see the energy within the room and it's an incredible energy that these kids generate just in their thought process is about going to space and about the space program so I think there's a lot of enthusiasm there and maybe people just are at a younger age when they're really feeling it so much the people in the older age maybe have other worries too much right now. Good heads up and I'll give you uh status as I push through these steps. Okay Don you can follow through with F02 Steep Alpha to repower on the EXP unit. Copy F02 Steep Alpha here to repower. Okay when you've completed those steps I'll give you an experiment command we would like for you to enter. Part 7 of F05 has been completed moving on to Steep Delta dot one. Sure is reading 0.00. How do we copy that zero decimal zero zero items here? Yeah space but when I remove the dust cover from the DCE experiment I can see here gas going into the chamber I can't put the dust cover back on although if I press harder I probably can. Columbia Houston for Jim. She's coming up. We're looking at that and we don't have any steps for you right now we're checking into a couple of things we may be calling you to a mile later. What we'd like for you to now do now though is we've made the decision down here to go ahead and space fuel cell 2. First however we have a number of power down steps that will involve both orbiter and payload equipment for you to perform and we've come up with some priorities so we're just going to talk it talk you through a few steps at a time and we'll be watching the you know the power levels as we power down each of the equipment so we know when we're below a good level.
