Live footage of a preflight interview with Mission Specialist Jean-Francois Clervoy is seen. The interview addresses many different questions including why Clervoy became an astronaut, what were the events that led to his interest. Other interesting information that this one-on-one interview discusses is an explanation of the why this required mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope must take place at such an early date, replacement of the gyroscopes, transistors and computers. Also discussed is an explanation of the ESA (European Space Agency) involvement in this mission, and a brief touch on Clervoy's responsibility during any of the given four space walks scheduled for this mission.
