00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:20,630
congratulations

2
00:00:24,870 --> 00:00:23,029
i got a question from trevor from malta

3
00:00:26,790 --> 00:00:24,880
loma california

4
00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:26,800
he says greg did your time on aquarius

5
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:28,480
help prepare you for the time you spent

6
00:00:31,349 --> 00:00:30,400
on the space station or is it totally

7
00:00:32,870 --> 00:00:31,359
different

8
00:00:34,229 --> 00:00:32,880
also since your crew mates are russian

9
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:34,239
do you have to speak russian to them or

10
00:00:38,310 --> 00:00:35,920
do they speak english or is it a

11
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:38,320
combination of both

12
00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:40,239
aquarius is an underwater research

13
00:00:43,750 --> 00:00:42,640
habitat that's located off the coast of

14
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:43,760
florida

15
00:00:47,029 --> 00:00:45,600
near key largo

16
00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:47,039
it's only a place like in the world

17
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:48,320
right now

18
00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:49,840
and

19
00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:52,320
nasa has a program there called nemo

20
00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:53,920
which is

21
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:55,600
nasa extreme environment mission

22
00:00:59,670 --> 00:00:58,399
operations and the idea of nemo was to

23
00:01:01,189 --> 00:00:59,680
have a

24
00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:01,199
something under water which kind of

25
00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:02,879
parallels

26
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:04,640
the kinds of things we do in a space

27
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:08,320
mission and use it as an analog training

28
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:11,200
scenario it's actually great

29
00:01:15,429 --> 00:01:13,760
um experience and

30
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,439
and you know i think of it as a mission

31
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:17,520
in itself and not not just training

32
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:20,080
first for space station or space flight

33
00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:21,520
but you know there's a lot of great

34
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:24,080
analogs um you're in a fresh in an

35
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:25,520
environment that's got to be you know

36
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:27,439
pressure controlled or dependent on life

37
00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:30,320
support systems for everything

38
00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:33,280
especially going outside you know it's a

39
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:34,880
space walk and

40
00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:36,640
going out with specialized equipment

41
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:39,040
from a underwater habitat you know a lot

42
00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:41,119
of similarities there we did more than

43
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:43,119
that though we also tried to make it uh

44
00:01:46,389 --> 00:01:44,960
make our operations there work very much

45
00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:46,399
like the way we work on the shuttle

46
00:01:52,550 --> 00:01:50,000
following a timeline having different

47
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:52,560
science tasks or other tasks

48
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:54,560
to do and working with mission control

49
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:56,000
in real time and

50
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:57,360
uh

51
00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:58,880
trying to pass information back and

52
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:01,119
forth from mission control uh to and

53
00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:03,600
from the you know the station or that

54
00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:05,040
case the habitat

55
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:06,479
and um

56
00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:08,640
so anyway i think it it's a really great

57
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:11,200
analog experience for i think you know

58
00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:14,319
habitat on the moon uh the space station

59
00:02:19,110 --> 00:02:16,720
or any place where you're really

60
00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:19,120
depending on

61
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:22,560
your own management of

62
00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:25,200
self a self contained life support

63
00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:26,480
environment

64
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:28,800
for conducting a mission

65
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:30,720
so the other question was about speaking

66
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:31,760
russian

67
00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:33,920
of course those guys have had to learn

68
00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:36,720
english and i've had to learn russian

69
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:38,720
and their english is i think better than

70
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:40,640
my certainly the commander's english is

71
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:46,070
with with the other flight engineer oleg

72
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:47,760
kononenko

73
00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:49,680
we kind of have a mixture since there's

74
00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:51,360
two of them and one of me i try to speak

75
00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:54,080
russian as much as possible and we you

76
00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:55,840
know we speak russian

77
00:03:02,149 --> 00:02:58,640
over dinner and

78
00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:02,159
you know and what as necessary

79
00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:03,840
unfortunately sergey knows enough

80
00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:05,920
english to bridge any gaps so it's

81
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:07,680
actually a really fun

82
00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:09,599
experience up here kind of
