00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.000
Rick Sturckow/STS-128 Commander: Alright, well, with the crew of STS-128,

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.000
the space shuttle Discovery, we're very happy to be back on land here in California.

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.000
We wish we could have gone to Florida today, gotten to see our families down there,

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.000
but it just didn't work out with the weather.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.000
The crew is doing great, you can see them there behind me.

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.000
Tim Kopra, unfortunately, could not join us on this walk around.

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:39.000
He's doing some medical science experiments, so he's participating in those right at this time.

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.000
Discovery was a really great vehicle on this mission,

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:47.000
it performed flawlessly. Thanks to all the folks at the Kennedy Space Center who

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:52.000
prepared that vehicle. Also thanks to all of our instructors in Houston

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.000
who trained us to do this mission, and to all the folks working

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.000
in the Mission Control Center in Houston. It was a great mission,

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:03.000
we're looking forward to getting back to Houston for the debriefs.

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.000
And we just want to thank everybody for their support. Thank you.

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.000
