O’Brien and Jim cover Mir’s fall to Earth
Jim: “Well, the Mir that's around me now,
this model is full of ghosts of people who really pioneered
the kind of things we need to do to get beyond earth
orbit and into planetary flight. Now this whole spacecraft
itself is a ghost, and maybe in that form, it'll travel
much farther than even it did in real life, because
it's going to be reminding us what can be done, what
can be overcome, when it comes to facing the challenges
of space.”
The transcript ends before, in the final seconds of
Mir’s existence, Jim describes its
creaking, growing deceleration, wrap-around orange glow,
internal water sloshing, and initial breakup –
and concludes, “It would be a good time to beam
me off, Mr. O’Brien.”
