A lot of these things will fly in later forms on the space station themselves, or a later form of that research will, once they kind of find out some of the basics from flying it on shuttle. — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
It's really a good feeling to know that we put this up there, that it's working, that all these people's plans that worked so hard came together and things fit and we've got a real space station. — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
We didn't use the shuttle robot arm before, so this has been a training flow to get ready for that. — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
The training comes to us with the benefit of what has gone before. — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
I did grow up with a really big interest in math and science; I liked it. — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
Our shuttle crew is four people, because we're going to transfer a crew up to station, so all the jobs are divided between four… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
It definitely helps to have been through the arm training flow before and to have used the arm on orbit, and it also gives… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
We launch when we're kind of in the same orbit that they are in terms of being matched up in inclination in space, and… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
As always, we prepare for all sorts of contingencies. And the first few days of the flight up until docking on Day 3 are… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image

It's really kind of a challenge to keep coordinated with the two station crews that we'll be interacting with. And of course one of… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
We're on the same radius from the Earth, and then we start to swing around to where we're ahead of them on the velocity… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
UF is Utilization Flight. That got put in the manifest quite some time ago. — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
We still have a lot of international partner modules that need to get up there to make it truly the international structure that it… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
