00:26.023 --> 00:26.856

00:32.150 --> 00:35.210
Activates tank one and then you just add

00:35.210 --> 00:36.826
or subtract using this little dial.

00:36.826 --> 00:38.680
And then you got to tank two.

00:38.680 --> 00:39.583
That's left ox.

01:00.459 --> 01:03.209

02:32.687 --> 02:33.895

02:33.895 --> 02:37.423
(drowned out by engine noise)

02:37.423 --> 02:38.590
- That's good.

02:48.010 --> 02:51.843

Hey cubby.

03:43.490 --> 03:45.593
Pull the, I still have some,

03:45.593 --> 03:47.953
wrapped around like in a U shape.

04:24.218 --> 04:25.385
- Right there.

04:26.330 --> 04:27.897
- Uh push it back up?

04:27.897 --> 04:28.730
Push it.

04:32.210 --> 04:34.367
Yeah every time you push it back.

04:38.540 --> 04:42.373
- Right in here, over
in there, over in there.

04:44.758 --> 04:48.758
- Yeah, see, um, see the
line up front of this?

04:51.519 --> 04:52.352
- Okay.

05:14.310 --> 05:19.140
- One load, you do it, three
alternating half hitches

05:19.140 --> 05:20.890
through the roof, two down.

05:20.890 --> 05:22.140
- Yeah, I've never like.

05:22.140 --> 05:25.507
- What I wanna do is actually
like put it just a, you know,

05:25.507 --> 05:27.230
a hook, like a wire hook?

05:27.230 --> 05:28.293
- That's what we're gonna do.

05:29.503 --> 05:30.901
- Attach it right there
to the 540 exited off.

05:30.901 --> 05:32.984
May as well take it down.

05:55.471 --> 06:00.471

noise) in like 38 days is like.

06:12.260 --> 06:13.093
- Let me know if they need anything.

06:13.093 --> 06:13.950
Shoot me a text.

06:13.950 --> 06:15.350
I didn't get your first one.

06:27.698 --> 06:30.281

07:03.420 --> 07:07.700

07:15.253 --> 07:16.223
- 71st rescue squadron.

07:17.324 --> 07:19.220
A little bit about me.

07:19.220 --> 07:20.880
I'm a Airman First Class John Wheeler.

07:20.880 --> 07:22.510
I'm from Maryville, Tennessee.

07:22.510 --> 07:23.807
I'm part of the 71rst Rescue Squadron.

07:23.807 --> 07:26.710
A little bit about, about
what we're doing out here.

07:26.710 --> 07:30.680
I'm the load master in support
of the human space flight.

07:30.680 --> 07:32.103
Part of taskforce 45.

07:33.188 --> 07:34.021
- [Interviewer] Historical moment.

07:34.021 --> 07:36.492
- How it feels to be a part
of it? It feels amazing.

07:36.492 --> 07:38.480
NASA and space has always been one

07:38.480 --> 07:40.370
of my huge interests in life

07:40.370 --> 07:43.160
and it feels amazing
being able to be out here

07:43.160 --> 07:44.860
and help with that

07:44.860 --> 07:48.093
and give those astronauts that
good, warm, fuzzy feeling.

07:48.093 --> 07:48.926
- [Interviewer] Awesome.

07:48.926 --> 07:51.590
- I've prepared for
months, honestly, for this.

07:51.590 --> 07:54.310
This is what a lot of my
training's been leading up to.

07:54.310 --> 07:56.535
It's my first real world
mission, so I'm very excited.

07:56.535 --> 07:58.854
- So first and last.

07:58.854 --> 08:03.300
Okay, so first name
Brandon, B-R-A-N-D-O-N.

08:03.300 --> 08:07.380
Last name Ranenell, R-A-V-E-N-E-L-L.

08:07.380 --> 08:11.004
Duty title is HC one 30 J Loadmaster.

08:11.004 --> 08:11.837
- [Interviewer] All right and your rank?

08:11.837 --> 08:13.423
- Staff Sergeant, E five.

08:14.660 --> 08:16.740
How does it feel to be a part
of this historical moment?

08:16.740 --> 08:18.550
It's actually really cool.

08:18.550 --> 08:20.903
I have never seen one in person.

08:21.880 --> 08:24.030
So not only being able to see
one but actually be a part of

08:24.030 --> 08:26.680
it, actually support
it, I think is really,

08:26.680 --> 08:27.593
for me, at least and my family, of course,

08:27.593 --> 08:30.122
they all know I'm down here, hi mom,

08:30.122 --> 08:33.120
knowing that I'm going to be
down here supporting something

08:33.120 --> 08:36.693
that could potentially be
a catalyst for the future.

08:37.840 --> 08:38.990
How confident do I feel about

08:38.990 --> 08:40.360
our guys being able to respond?

08:40.360 --> 08:42.290
I feel very confident.

08:42.290 --> 08:44.710
We train for this kind of
stuff all the time, day in,

08:44.710 --> 08:46.460
day out every week.

08:46.460 --> 08:49.240
That's I would say 95% of the,
the stuff that we do actually

08:49.240 --> 08:50.860
at home station is train.

08:50.860 --> 08:54.210
So airdrops, search and rescue,

08:54.210 --> 08:56.680
dropping different types
of materials in the water

08:56.680 --> 08:58.870
or on land in order to
identify personnel that

08:58.870 --> 09:00.810
are stranded or, you know,

09:00.810 --> 09:02.770
unable to contact, you
know, someone to come

09:02.770 --> 09:04.400
and rescue them.

09:04.400 --> 09:05.690
So that's our primary mission.

09:05.690 --> 09:07.670
So actually coming out here
and being able to do something

09:07.670 --> 09:09.320
like real life.

09:09.320 --> 09:11.060
You know, hoping and praying
that everything goes according

09:11.060 --> 09:13.770
to plan but if it doesn't knowing
that we have the expertise

09:13.770 --> 09:15.800
on the aircraft in order
to complete the mission.

09:15.800 --> 09:19.170
We're actually gonna be backup
coverage in case something

09:20.265 --> 09:21.098
happens to go wrong.

09:21.098 --> 09:21.931
Preferably it doesn't.

09:21.931 --> 09:24.300
If it does our job is to
make sure that we come in

09:24.300 --> 09:27.207
and assess situation and make sure that we

09:27.207 --> 09:29.723
handle the mission as
it needs to be handled.

09:31.080 --> 09:33.590
Part of our job is making
sure that if one of our crews

09:33.590 --> 09:35.180
actually goes down,

09:35.180 --> 09:38.587
we can fulfill that requirement
to do airdrops, personnel,

09:38.587 --> 09:41.220
heavy equipment, making
sure that the boats

09:41.220 --> 09:44.370
and everything to rescue
the actual astronauts

09:44.370 --> 09:45.220
is taken care of.
