 Passengers down here on console would like to wish the maritime members of the crew smooth sailing for endeavor for the rest of the day as you maneuver in proximity to Pam stew. Mark and Andy, we're with you in space have. Good morning. Space have Park, endeavor. Good morning. Good morning, Andy. Space have Park with you. When you're burning the midnight oil, I guess. I'm ready to give you the status brief anytime you're ready to copy. I'm ready anytime, Andy. We copy. Sounds great. It looks like it has a bit of a tip off right after it left the field of view. I'll pan the camera up so you can see it. See the stew exit towards the left and this view looks pretty close to the big one for this. We'll pass that on. We got a nice stable picture with no line. For Houston, that's a super zoomed in image now. That's really helping us out. Thank you. Give you another view that we took from the flight deck here. Copy. We're getting that other view now and we have about another 30 seconds or so of Mila. This is Mission Control Houston. This television is live from endeavor. Looking at the attitude measurement system for Pam stew in the cargo bay. Again, pointed toward the Pam stew satellite as endeavor crosses over the Midwest United States. Houston, if you still have downlink, the downlink you're getting now is from the hub and it is live. Thanks. That's great. This is Mission Control Houston. This television is live shot of the Pam stew satellite. This view taken by camera pointed out the window of the space have module. Pam stew satellite about 2,200 feet from endeavor. And endeavor Houston, we're ready for your downlink at this time. This is John Manley in Montreal. Do we have you endeavor? This is John Casper, commander of the spaceship endeavor. We're talking the Pacific Ocean. If I could just give you a little recap of what we've done the last few days. And we've had a very productive and busy four days in our space flight to date. And that went very well. And then yesterday we run the boot and Mark did just an absolutely superb flight, rather. And we were just amazed at how easy he made that look with the Canadian arms. We had another busy day today with our crew. With that went very well about six days of productive effort here on this science technology and microgravity science and technology demonstration flight. Mark, perhaps you could pick up on some of the comments that the commander made and tell us a bit about the Canadian scientific experiments that you're carrying with you and how you expect to see these carried out in the next few days. I'm presenting a good part of my time on an experiment which is a joint Canadian, U.S. and German experiment. It's Canadian land. It's called the commercial float zone furnace. And basically it involves processing some semiconductor materials, heating them up in a furnace and then melting them. In particular case we have the advantage of doing what we call containerless processing. In other words, the heating up and the melting, the material itself does not make contact with the container. Also because we're in microgravity, we don't have the usual convective effects that are due to gravity. So we have the opportunity of melting and then reforming a material with a better crystal structure and with greater purity. And that furnace has been working pretty well since the beginning of the flight and will continue to do so until the end of the flight. And there are scientists in Canada from Ottawa and from Halifax who have samples on board that we are processing and hopefully we will be able to come back with some materials that have a crystal structure that is better than anything that has ever been produced. I'm also doing an experiment called the Aquatic Research Facility. In fact it's right beside me by my right knee. And it contains again a Canadian experiment in this case. It contains sea urchins which are part of an American contribution as well as star shells and blue clams. And what we're doing here is looking at what effect the absence of gravity has on the development, the very early embryonic development of these marine aquatic species. What we're trying to do is to understand whether gravity plays a major role in the formation of these species which as you know are primarily, their outer shells are primarily formed of minerals. And what we learn here could have been telling us more about what is important in bone formation and indirectly possibly help us know more about things like osteoporosis which affect older people. So those are two of the main experiments from Canada. And there are also two other experiments in the cargo bay in getaway special canisters that both have to do with processing materials, semiconductor materials and thin organic films. And they are from the University of Toronto and from the University of Moncton. So Canada is well represented on this flight. Mark let me say to you and to your colleagues there are at least several million Canadians who are watching you and who are longing to have the experience that you're having. One of them happens to be the minister of industry but I know there are lots of others as well. What would you say? You've been up twice, would you like to go again? Job that I would prefer to do than the one that I'm doing right now. I also am very conscious of the fact that I'm very fortunate person. I know a lot of people who would like to go into space and possibly sometime in the future it will be commonplace and unfortunately at this time it's still the early days of the space program but it's a far cry from what it was 25 or 30 years ago when I was a teenager. So things have changed dramatically and I'm sure they will change in the future and for those who do want to become astronauts that possibility does exist. It requires a lot of hard work and determination and a lot of focus but it is something that is accessible. Well let me say to you, back to all of you on behalf of the government of Canada how enormously proud that we are that we are sharing in this great international experiment that Mark you're there as our representative as Canadians. We envy you but we also admire you and you are a source of great pride to us. We wish you a very successful voyage of safe returned Earth and I know the Prime Minister had hoped Mark that he could do this particular uplink with you and we weren't able to coordinate it with his schedule in western Canada but I extend to you and to your fellow crew members the Prime Minister's greetings and best wishes and we're looking forward to seeing you on your return. Thank you very much Minister Manley on behalf of all of us. It was a pleasure talking to you and to Canadians. Thank you. Endeavour Houston as usual another superb job by the Endeavour crew. We certainly enjoyed that and we're just very pleased to hear from Minister Manley and the best wishes from Canada. Change of image here. Listen words just escape me when I see a picture like this one. Really from this point of view we'd like to be looking in through this window but that's not to be at the moment so we'll just take a look out as the sun comes up. The crisis on the Space Shuttle Endeavour will close out this busy work day and say good evening.
