two cooling systems, one goes down, that s okay, we still have another one, but you want to get it back up. bill: can you fix it with a says walk? well, they re trying to figure out if that s necessary. right now there s a valve that s involved that is causing some trouble for them. if they have to replace the whole unit, they practice doing that on the ground. you ve got two very good space walkers, very experienced astronaut. mike hopkins is a rookie astronaut, but he s a great space walker. i ve been in the pool with him, so i think the space station s in good hands. if they have to replace a module, if that s necessary, they can bill: what do you mean in the pool? that s where we practice our space walks, and we do a lot of training in there to prepare for things like this. will: you can certainly relate to things they re going through right now. are they concerned? i think they re definitely concerned about it, and they re trying to work with the ground be, the control tea
