00:00Hey, guys, I know you're busy, so I don't want to take up much of your time here, but I'm
00:04very proud of you.
00:06The world's looking up because of you.
00:08You've reminded millions of people what a crew and a mission and a shared purpose can really do.
00:17So thank you for taking and carrying the hopes of a nation beyond the horizon.
00:22Just curious, how fast are you going at EI?
00:27What kind of G-profile are you going to be on?
00:30And how sporty of a ride do you expect it to be when those chutes open?
00:34You're going to come into the atmosphere at about almost 40 times the speed of sound,
00:39and then we will slow down to a 20-mile-an-hour touchdown into the Pacific.
00:43But the G-profile will actually be very similar to what it is on launch.
00:48We'll get up into the 3 Gs, just over 3 Gs on the way down for a normal entry.
00:55But if it was a ballistic, we could get up as high as 9, 10 Gs, which is what you
01:00pull in a fighter jet.
01:01But we could be doing that for several minutes, for 8 or 9 minutes.
01:05And so the G-profile is going to be pretty sporty.
01:08But when we touch down, the heat shield and the parachutes are going to get us nice and slow so
01:14that we touch down in a,
01:15what did I say, about a 20-mile-an-hour splashdown in the Pacific.
01:19And we can't wait to see the dive team and the Navy that are going to come and pick us
01:23up.
