1
00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:04,630
main engine start six engines up and

2
00:00:08,070 --> 00:00:06,160
running

3
00:00:09,830 --> 00:00:08,080
and lift off

4
00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:09,840
liftoff of the proton rocket of the

5
00:00:14,549 --> 00:00:12,160
zarya control module international space

6
00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:14,559
station is underway

7
00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:16,080
hi i'm chris ferguson the commander of

8
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:18,400
the space shuttle endeavor

9
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:19,760
and i'm mike fink commander of the

10
00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:22,000
international space station and today is

11
00:00:25,429 --> 00:00:23,680
a special day aboard the space station

12
00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:25,439
we're celebrating the 10th anniversary

13
00:00:29,669 --> 00:00:27,599
of the first launch of the first module

14
00:00:31,029 --> 00:00:29,679
of the international space station

15
00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:31,039
ten years ago from the steps of

16
00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:33,840
kazakhstan was launched the first module

17
00:00:39,670 --> 00:00:36,480
zarya on a proton rocket it was met a

18
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:39,680
few weeks later in orbit by endeavor

19
00:00:44,709 --> 00:00:42,160
which carried the unity module and since

20
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:44,719
then our space station has gotten larger

21
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:47,200
and larger we've traveled 51 000 times

22
00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:49,360
around the planet which is more than

23
00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:51,920
many many trips to the moon and back and

24
00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:53,680
along the way we've learned how to live

25
00:00:56,630 --> 00:00:55,280
in space for a long time and we've

26
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,640
learned how to act

27
00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:58,559
and work together as international

28
00:01:02,549 --> 00:01:00,879
partners and i know myself and my crew

29
00:01:05,109 --> 00:01:02,559
are really proud to be here on this

30
00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:05,119
special date

31
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:06,960
speaking as a space shuttle pilot and

32
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:08,960
commander i've only had the opportunity

33
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:10,720
to visit the space station and not stay

34
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:13,200
for a long duration but it's extremely

35
00:01:17,350 --> 00:01:15,280
interesting as you conduct any one of a

36
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:17,360
number of orbital burns to approach the

37
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:19,680
space station and see it even from 40

38
00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:21,600
miles away you can tell the beauty in

39
00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:23,280
the grandeur and the enormity of this

40
00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:25,840
vehicle as you get closer it only gets

41
00:01:30,069 --> 00:01:28,240
larger post docking when we are able to

42
00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:30,079
come inside and explore the expanse of

43
00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:32,159
the vehicle it's overwhelming the size

44
00:01:38,789 --> 00:01:35,680
and the enormity of this ship in space

45
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:38,799
this crew this fine crew and its cargo

46
00:01:43,830 --> 00:01:40,720
will enable the space station to plus up

47
00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:43,840
to a crew of six people living full time

48
00:01:49,030 --> 00:01:45,759
international partners working hand in

49
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:49,040
hand for years on end after ten years we

50
00:01:53,429 --> 00:01:50,720
wish the international space station a

51
00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:53,439
happy birthday and we hope to see many
