oh, it's not the evil robert moses wanted to program my mind. it was for maximum movement and movies and it has tide pools and contemplation. it's about moving money and when you start looking at your world that way, it becomes much more open to our reengineering. i may sound a little bit like buckminister fuller. these are not problems of design and i did a book life, inc., it's about money. money was programmed in about 12 or 1300 with monarchs with a very particular bias. those guys are dead. the money is still functioning the way we want. it's not servicing anyone and we're trapped. and you program new monies to do other things. so that's the -- that kind of insight is literacy in the 21st century. that's -- to have what used to be called just being able to read and write in the 20th century to understand the narrative of human history is composed by people, right, that there was a bible, there's marxism, there's capitalism. we understand all that because we're litterate and we have to understand what programming is even though we can't prog

question for bill and mike moses. the 134 crew seems to get a lot accomplished on orbit and especially it being a fairly long mission. i wonder where that placed the station program for the postshuttle years and where it lays for the groundwork for the 135? >> i think the extension days helped the station crews get ahead on some tasks they needed to get down. we wanted to get the oxygen generation system set up with the device that actually conditions the water to keep the p.h. level corrected and the oxygen system rate and that was able to be accomplished. the carbon dioxide removal system, we wanted to get that bed changed out and returned and the crews were able to get that done and ahead. we have the life support system fully functional. the backup to the russian system, which is really good, and also we'll run the system which will generate some water for us from a station standpoint. so there are extra hours on orbit really helped a lot and the power converter that takes the station power and then allows us to p
