Live footage of a preflight interview with Mission Commander Terrence W. Wilcutt is seen. The interview addresses many different questions including why Wilcutt became an astronaut, the events that led to his interest, and his career both as a High School Mathematics Teacher and as a member of the US Marine Corps. Other interesting information that this one-on-one interview discusses are his responsibilities during docking and undocking of the spacecraft, and possible shorter time frame turnarounds for missions. Wilcutt also mentions the scheduled installation and transfer of equipment into the new International Space Station (ISS).
