Well NASA has cleared the shuttle at Lantus for landing tomorrow morning. I think it's about 6.41 despite astronauts spotting three new pieces of debris floating in space. This is one day after the discovery of two other mysterious objects can McIntyre is down at Johnson Space Center. And she hasn't updated for us. Take him. I'm Mike and Juliet. Yeah, NASA gave the astronauts a good news for landing tomorrow, but only after they did a very intense study of the shuttle's protective heats field. Now they had five people in the field. Now they had five pieces of debris floating around close to the shuttle today. NASA wanted to make sure the vehicle wanted to make sure the shuttle was intact and ready to withstand the long and dangerous journey back home. NASA says nothing stood out and was not at a place during the four and a half hour inspection of the shuttle, but mission managers in additional survey of the shuttle's protective heat shield anyway. The surveys were initially sparked by a mysterious object loading under the spacecraft yesterday. It was detected shortly after a routine check of the shuttle's steering jets. Now since Columbia, NASA developed several tools and procedures to safeguard the shuttle while in space. NASA admits they may never know exactly what the unknown objects are, but confirms the shuttle is ready to handle the 3000 degree temperature. It will meet as a re-entersy earth atmosphere. Over the years, we have traced many, many many of these things may be not much. The facility that this one has gotten and rarely have ever been able to pinpoint exactly where they came from and always finding out that it didn't pose us any hazard. The crew at Atlantis is asleep now and after 12 day mission in an intense 24 hour period, they are looking forward to coming home tomorrow at 621 Eastern time. Back to you, New York. Thanks, young. Thank you. Join us now. We are here through it. Here flew on three shuttle missions and thank you very much for being here. The audience is going to win. We're talking about this. Ask the question. Ask the question. No. My intention is, as many as 10,000, 12,000 pieces of junk up there floating around, you're going to see some of it. That's right, Mike. And probably the biggest thing you have to worry about is it in the same orbit as with you or some other orbit. If it's in the same orbit, it's not as dangerous because not going as fast. It's another orbit. And it hits you and say twice as speed you're going at, say 35,000 hours an hour because serious damage to the shuttle. So what, what could these things possibly be? A lot of people are writing in saying satellites. Could they be satellites? Could they be satellites? Peace is a satellite? Well, they're unlikely to be off a satellite because the fact that they're in the same orbit as the shuttle. They're floating along with the orbital. So more likely it's something that was maybe dropped in the payload bay during the surfacing of the shuttle and during the thruster firings and the flight control checks yesterday that they floated up out of the bay and just started to keep the flight control. But I don't recall it. I don't recall seeing this in recent missions. Is this something that happens frequently? And it's just not enough. Occasionally, on my second mission, which is the first flight of endeavor, one of these floated up about four hours after we opened the payload. I've been looking for that. It was an alien wrench. I wondered who lost it. Yeah, it was me. It's working on my tail. There's a big fine for that when you lose these things. The board of the spacecraft. Was that yours? No, it was actually dropped by a worker. I think when they're constructing the space. Oh, they look for these things but they can't find them sometimes and they just happen to float up. That's like leaving the knife and then you know insert them. I mean, I mean, that's not good. So should we be concerned? It's 641 will have coverage of course live for you. Her infox news channel. It's during Fox and the friends first. I'm a little nervous. I got to tell you. I think they've done what they need to do. They did an inspection of the orbiter. Both the underside and the payload bay. The two things you had to be concerned about again are the high speed impacts, which it doesn't look like that would be a problem right now. The second thing is it is a piece of order that's critical hardware that you need to operate, say the payload bay doors and the latch and down. I seriously doubt that's the case. So the thing is they're not going to stop trying to figure this out once you over land. You're going to come back and you'll try to figure it out. I want to jump in because Julia had a better question about how I want to jump in here. So okay, do do if there was trouble. Could it land us get back to the space station? Do they have enough fuel to do that? And if they do, the soy as is already in their parking spot. Would they have to back out and get out of there? Well, there's probably a bit about debate what to do. But certainly there's more. Sure. And the soy as may have to go to the docking port. They might just have to have the soy as close. There's more than one docking port on the station. There's more than one, but they might have to be in light position. Can't wait that. So you're not concerned about reentry. You think this is going to be a smooth. Yeah. I think it'll be a smooth entry. I mean, they've done all the things that they need to do to make sure this is going to be fine. And as always, they're trying to be very careful and very cautious and very conservative. Pierre, Felix, thank you very much for joining us today. Are you going to be heading back into space any time soon? Uh, only if they have another space cowboy's movie, you know, the retired ex, that's not going to be going to space. I'll be hoping to get one of those roles. You look like a kid. You look like a guy. It doesn't severe as a head of you. Well, like in a few years, I'll be able to do it again though. Well, we wish the best luck. Thanks a lot for joining us today. Talk to you.
