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


00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000
Cady Coleman/NASA Astronaut:  This is "C.J." (Sturckow) sending some sort of a message. I'm not

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.000
sure what it is, but I'm sure somebody appreciated it.

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.000
Mike Curie/STS-128 Launch Commentator: Absolutely.

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:08.000
Cady Coleman/NASA Astronaut:  Anyways...

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:09.000
Mike Curie/STS-128 Launch Commentator: It's code for someone...

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.000
Cady Coleman/NASA Astronaut:  He knows... these guys all know each other pretty well. And, you

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.000
know, it's a hard thing to get strapped into the vehicle, it's a hard thing to strap people in.

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:24.000
Mike Curie/STS-128 Launch Commentator: These cameras definitely provide a unique view.

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:32.000
Cady Coleman/NASA Astronaut:  There's Nicole (Stott), final message, I would imagine, to her family.

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.000
Mike Curie/STS-128 Launch Commentator: We see Pilot Kevin Ford is being assisted here in the

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:50.000
White Room by the Closeout Crew. And we see Danny Olivas is in the White Room. And Pat Forrester

00:00:50.000 --> 00:01:05.000
has entered the White Room. And Christer (Fuglesang) is being fitted, ready to board Discovery, as well.

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.000
Cady Coleman/NASA Astronaut:  Now, we see Jose (Hernandez).

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.000
Mike Curie/STS-128 Launch Commentator: Yeah, a big wave.

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.000
Cady Coleman/NASA Astronaut:  Now, to me, this is always a very funny view to see because, you

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:21.000
know, again, the orbiter is nose pointed toward the sky ready for launch.

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:32.000
Mike Curie/STS-128 Launch Commentator: See that the hatch has physically been closed.
