1
00:00:05.380 --> 00:00:09.170
Dragon, SpaceX,
you are go to begin the media event.

2
00:00:16.540 --> 00:00:17.890
Dragon copies.

3
00:00:28.520 --> 00:00:31.350
Well, everyone, welcome aboard Dragon.

4
00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:33.076
My name is Doug.

5
00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:35.476
Next to me is Bob.

6
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:37.350
You probably know him.

7
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:44.030
We're so glad to be with you this evening
and welcome you on board Dragon.

8
00:00:44.144 --> 00:00:46.556
We've got a couple things we want to talk

9
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.916
about first before we show you around.

10
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.636
The first is kind of a tradition
we've had over the years

11
00:00:53.720 --> 00:00:57.396
with spacecraft going way back
to the Mercury era

12
00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:01.456
and then a tradition
that's been carried on ever

13
00:01:01.540 --> 00:01:05.830
since with all our space
vehicles including the Soyuz.

14
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.076
We were given the honor
to name this capsule.

15
00:01:11.160 --> 00:01:17.296
I know most of you at SpaceX
especially know it as Capsule 206,

16
00:01:17.380 --> 00:01:20.176
but I think all of us thought

17
00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:22.613
that we could maybe do better than that.

18
00:01:22.697 --> 00:01:25.916
So without further ado,

19
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.690
we would like to welcome
you aboard Capsule Endeavour.

20
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:33.536
We chose Endeavour for a few reasons.

21
00:01:33.620 --> 00:01:39.476
One, because of this incredible Endeavour,
NASA, SpaceX,

22
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:41.336
and the United States has been

23
00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:44.850
on since the end of the shuttle
program back in 2011.

24
00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:50.216
The other reason we named it Endeavour
is a little more personal to Bob and I.

25
00:01:50.300 --> 00:01:53.616
We both had our first flights
on shuttle Endeavour,

26
00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:58.616
and it just meant
so much to us to carry on that name.

27
00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:00.700
That's what we decided to go with.

28
00:02:00.784 --> 00:02:05.350
So we hope you enjoy that name,
and once again, welcome on board.

29
00:02:09.220 --> 00:02:12.716
Good evening, everybody,
and welcome aboard Endeavour,

30
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.376
the SpaceX ship headed
to the International Space Station.

31
00:02:16.460 --> 00:02:18.276
Today we made the first flight

32
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.556
off Florida's coast in a long time,

33
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:21.996
and Doug and I were

34
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.056
really proud to be part of that.

35
00:02:24.140 --> 00:02:26.516
We're doing it in a brand-new spaceship,

36
00:02:26.600 --> 00:02:30.436
A spaceship that's a lot different
than its namesake Endeavour,

37
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:31.836
the space shuttle,

38
00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:35.396
in that it has touch display screens
that allow us

39
00:02:35.480 --> 00:02:39.245
to accomplish most of the interfacing
requirements that we have.

40
00:02:39.329 --> 00:02:43.076
Doug will pan over and point
at the display in front of me.

41
00:02:43.160 --> 00:02:45.796
You can see the forward view

42
00:02:45.880 --> 00:02:49.936
that we had during the maneuvers
that we most recently did.

43
00:02:50.020 --> 00:02:51.256
Look out the window.

44
00:02:51.340 --> 00:02:53.956
The centerline camera shows little now.

45
00:02:54.040 --> 00:02:55.356
We're facing space

46
00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:57.696
so the windows see the Earth below.

47
00:02:57.780 --> 00:02:59.736
But we can interface

48
00:02:59.820 --> 00:03:01.816
with it. It's interesting.

49
00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:02.959
There's a command.

50
00:03:03.043 --> 00:03:04.036
This button here

51
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.416
is the command for our displays.

52
00:03:06.500 --> 00:03:08.556
One thing that gets lost is there

53
00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:12.616
is a extensive button panel down below
as well.

54
00:03:12.700 --> 00:03:16.836
So over on this side
we can turn the displays on and off

55
00:03:16.920 --> 00:03:20.710
as well as send some commands
for some contingency situations.

56
00:03:20.794 --> 00:03:21.853
On the other side,

57
00:03:21.937 --> 00:03:25.836
we can deploy chutes
and things like that on entry.

58
00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:27.038
So we have buttons,

59
00:03:27.122 --> 00:03:29.396
but mainly we use the displays.

60
00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:31.416
So nice, new, modern cockpit

61
00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:34.676
that we've got
for our, compared to our namesake,

62
00:03:34.760 --> 00:03:36.496
the space shuttle Endeavour.

63
00:03:36.580 --> 00:03:40.416
I'm going to migrate a little bit away
from our seats here,

64
00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:44.856
and Doug from his seat
is going to continue to try to follow me

65
00:03:44.940 --> 00:03:49.830
so you can tell what can be seen
from the seat that he sits in.

66
00:03:51.720 --> 00:03:53.316
So from his seat,

67
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.936
when he is inside the vehicle strapped in,

68
00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:00.491
this is what his view actually looks like.

69
00:04:00.575 --> 00:04:03.056
You can see a window off to the one side.

70
00:04:03.140 --> 00:04:07.552
We each have a window that we can view out
and see what's going on outside.

71
00:04:07.636 --> 00:04:09.796
Ascent was exciting, being able

72
00:04:09.880 --> 00:04:12.696
to see the arm rotate away from the pad,

73
00:04:12.780 --> 00:04:16.251
and that's when we both knew
we were going to launch today.

74
00:04:16.335 --> 00:04:17.616
That was super cool.

75
00:04:17.700 --> 00:04:21.136
I've got one on my side as well.

76
00:04:21.220 --> 00:04:24.996
The hatch that we came
in is the hatch that's right behind me.

77
00:04:25.080 --> 00:04:27.276
It's a bit tight in here,

78
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.736
but I'm going to try

79
00:04:29.820 --> 00:04:34.496
to demonstrate some of the capability

80
00:04:34.580 --> 00:04:39.976
that we have now
that we're in zero gravity.

81
00:04:40.060 --> 00:04:42.836
So I think I was requested
to do a backflip.

82
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.476
I'm going to kind of do a side spin,

83
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:49.336
which is a little bit of a permutation
on that request.

84
00:04:49.420 --> 00:04:51.538
Hopefully you can see what it's like

85
00:04:51.622 --> 00:04:53.622
to actually float in zero gravity.

86
00:04:53.706 --> 00:04:55.256
Doug and I are thrilled

87
00:04:55.340 --> 00:04:58.056
that we got to do this again today,

88
00:04:58.140 --> 00:04:59.536
before the end of May.

89
00:04:59.620 --> 00:05:01.056
So that was super cool.

90
00:05:01.140 --> 00:05:03.936
We did, it turns out,

91
00:05:04.020 --> 00:05:09.076
end up with one stowaway on board
our vehicle when we launched today.

92
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:14.756
It was not just Doug
and I who accomplished the launch here.

93
00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:17.236
We do have an Apatosaurus aboard.

94
00:05:17.320 --> 00:05:22.156
We both have two boys
who are super interested in dinosaurs,

95
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.976
and we collected up all the dinosaurs
between the two houses,

96
00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:28.656
and Tremor, the Apatosaurus,

97
00:05:28.740 --> 00:05:33.256
got the vote from the boys
to make the trip into space today with us.

98
00:05:33.340 --> 00:05:35.896
And so that was a super cool thing for us

99
00:05:35.980 --> 00:05:38.610
to get a chance to do
for both of our sons,

100
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.976
We're super excited to see
their toys floating with us on board.

101
00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:45.936
I'm sure they'd rather
be here given the chance,

102
00:05:46.020 --> 00:05:48.373
but hopefully they're proud of this too.

103
00:05:58.460 --> 00:05:59.336
Okay.

104
00:05:59.420 --> 00:06:02.996
As we work our way
towards one of the windows,

105
00:06:03.080 --> 00:06:06.116
unfortunately,
it's getting a little bit dark,

106
00:06:06.200 --> 00:06:09.076
but I don't know if Bob can pan over here.

107
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.316
Now we just passed
off of the coast of Newfoundland

108
00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:16.716
and we're headed over
to the Atlantic right now.

109
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.270
I don't know
if you can get a good picture of that.

110
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:34.616
Anyway, hopefully you enjoy
that view as we pass over the Atlantic.

111
00:06:34.700 --> 00:06:39.716
And I think
with that, we will work ourselves back

112
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:44.310
into the seats
and wrap things up for this evening.

113
00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:11.136
So Doug's there making a nice big smile
for the camera.

114
00:07:11.220 --> 00:07:14.276
I hope you enjoyed the trip today with us

115
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:18.836
on board the Dragon Capsule Endeavour
with our friend Tremor,

116
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:20.150
the Apatosaurus.

117
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:25.616
And Doug
and I, we just would like to thank SpaceX,

118
00:07:25.700 --> 00:07:27.116
we'd like to thank NASA,

119
00:07:27.200 --> 00:07:30.396
and the American people
for the opportunity today.

120
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.656
We're really proud of the entire team
that was able

121
00:07:33.740 --> 00:07:37.790
to accomplish human spaceflight again
from the Florida coast.

122
00:07:38.280 --> 00:07:40.096
Just a wonderful experience.

123
00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:41.533
Doug and I are so proud

124
00:07:41.617 --> 00:07:42.816
to be a part of it.

125
00:07:42.900 --> 00:07:46.596
We want to thank everyone
who gave us this opportunity

126
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.930
and worked
so hard to make this happen today.

127
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.676
So with that, I think it'll be good night
from Capsule Endeavour.

128
00:07:57.760 --> 00:08:00.856
Good night to everyone at NASA, at SpaceX,

129
00:08:00.940 --> 00:08:02.136
and the U.S.,

130
00:08:02.220 --> 00:08:05.338
and congratulations to the teams
who got us to orbit.

131
00:08:05.422 --> 00:08:08.196
We're looking forward
to seeing Chris Cassidy

132
00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:10.676
and his Russian colleagues

133
00:08:10.760 --> 00:08:14.550
on board the International Space Station
tomorrow morning.

134
00:08:18.500 --> 00:08:20.670
Good night, Megan and Theo.

135
00:08:20.820 --> 00:08:22.750
And Karen and Jack.
