Live footage of a preflight interview with Mission Specialist Tamara E. Jernigan is seen. The interview addresses many different questions including why Jernigan became an astronaut, the events that led to her interest, and her career path. Other interesting information that this one-on-one interview discusses is the logistics and supply mission, why it is important to send equipment to the International Space Station (ISS), and the Integrated Cargo Carrier (ICC). Jernigan mentions Discovery's anticipated docking with the ISS, her scheduled space walk with Daniel T. Barry, plans for the supply and equipment transfers, and a fly-around maneuver to take pictures of the ISS.
