John Grunsfeld
Quickly are you going to be sending dispatches down
once again and I am curious about what kinds of reactions
you get by publishing in Sky and Telescope and the kinds
of things people say in the amatuer astronomy community
about all that. (1 min 21 sec) |

of John Grunsfeld and Rick Linnehan
Dana was ranking NICMOS work as the second in complexity
or challenge from an EVA perspective, not a mission
priority perspective, maybe for Rick since you will
be doing that with John on the fifth EVA characterize
the degree of difficulty snaking those tubes through
there and doing all that work. (2 min 46 sec) |

Your earlier comment about Rick inside Hubble with one
door closed intriqued me. Has he given you any guarantees,
money in the bank, or something like that to insure
that you won't close the other door and leave him in
there so you have to come back and pick him up at the
next mission. (52 sec) |

It was said earlier that Hubble has a way of suprising
you. What are the suprises you are referring to? In
your conversations with the Hubble EVA community, if
you will, what was some of the advice you got from say
the STS-61 people and all the way down. (2 min 42 sec)

of Mission Specialist 4 Richard
Linnehan
You did a tremendous job on STS-79 and especially STS-97,
but could you please explain to us what makes a veterinarian
so important to this mission. How did you sell to NASA
on taking you as a veterinarian as opposed to some other
scientist? (2 min 39 sec) Asked by Daytona Beach

Explain to us the changes in applications and control
of the arm from the very original days a decade and
half ago. How there have been many, many changes, improvements
of the standard system that Sally Ride started with.

Asked
of Mission Commander: Scott
Altman
Since this is the first shuttle going someplace other
than the station in a couple of years, do you think
that this is going to stand out to the public? Does
that weigh in your mind at all? (35 sec) Asked by

John Grunsfeld
For any spacewalkers or a couple, you've described it
as magical laying your hands on hubble. Is there an
underlying tension about this given that it is an icon,
it's priceless, is it a little daunting when you are
working with such a one of a kind expensive piece of
machinery. (2 min 22 sec) Asked by Associated Press

Hope you will forgive a really goofy question. How tall
are you people and is height a requirement. (1 min 36
