00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.000


00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
CHRIS CASSIDY: Right now we're looking at Pilot Charlie Hobaugh getting suited up.

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:12.000
You can see him putting his gloves on and adjusting the palm bars for a comfortable fit.

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:16.000
Alvin Drew on his first spaceflight, big old smile there as

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:21.000
I'm sure I will be whenever I get the chance to do the very same thing.

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:28.000
Here's Tracy Caldwell. She'll be mission specialist number one riding in the flight deck today.

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.000
And there's astronaut Barb Morgan, the educator astronaut

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.000
that'll be flying her first mission.

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:44.000
Canadian astronaut Dave Williams looking particularly relaxed and ready to go flying.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:50.000
You can see right now, Rick Mastracchio is undergoing a pressure check as we speak.

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.000
There is Scott Kelly's twin brother, Mark Kelly, just went through on

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.000
the right side taking a picture of his brother, the commander,

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:03.000
Scott, who looks like he's getting ready to begin his pressure check, as well.

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.000
And George, here we have the crew walking down the hallway of crew quarters,

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.000
Scott and Charlie leading the way as they approach

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:30.000
the elevator and say goodbye to the great personnel and the crew quarters staff.

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.000
GEORGE DILLER: So who are the other crew members or the other people

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.000
going on the Astrovan with them now?

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.000
CASSIDY: The other non-flight crew astronauts were

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.000
Steve Lindsey, Mark Polansky (who, as you mentioned,

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.000
will be flying the Shuttle Training Aircraft), and Gary Ross,

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.000
who coordinates all the pre- and post-launch activities.

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.000
