But, what we need to get out of the first EVA is to have the arm completely unfolded and powered so that they can keep the temperature under control. That will really the call of the first EVA.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We didn't use the shuttle robot arm before, so this has been a training flow to get ready for that.
You can't just drop the 82nd Airborne into Baghdad and it will all be over.
Being first outside the spacecraft would bring much more responsibility, and I really wasn't looking for that.
When this space walk will be completed, then the arm will be fully operational and ready for the next activity that will be pretty much the testing, the first flight testing of the space station arm.
My job during the EVAs, the spacewalks, is to act as the inside coordinator. I remain on the aft flight deck of the shuttle, and I act in a manner to help the gentlemen outside, my fellow crewmates, who are performing the EVA tasks.
Also we will be carrying food and clothes for the Expedition Two crew. And as well as spare parts for the EVA that will be conducted from the station in the following months.
You don't want to destroy the energy that comes out of a campaign.
We must become more energy independent. The development of ANWR will assist in this goal.
If we are to be destroyed we will do it ourselves by warfare with thermonuclear weaponry.
We enter the government essentially in a hotel that is on fire. We're throwing people from the windows into the pool to save their lives and this is the evaluation of the Olympic diving committee: Well, the splash was too big.
