[ Background noise ]

2
00:03:40,850 --> 00:03:44,190
>> We are just exactly four
weeks from launch day, the --

3
00:03:44,190 --> 00:03:46,500
we're planning to launch
on the 23rd of October.

4
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:47,900
And today, this morning
we started

5
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,070
out with our State Commission,

6
00:03:49,070 --> 00:03:52,020
which is the official
certification of our flight

7
00:03:52,020 --> 00:03:53,740
and always, all member --

8
00:03:53,740 --> 00:03:55,940
the State Department
Commission comes in

9
00:03:55,940 --> 00:03:57,940
and signs us off
and clears us to go.

10
00:03:57,940 --> 00:04:00,930
So a very special day for
us today, it's a big step

11
00:04:00,930 --> 00:04:04,370
on the journey and then after
that, we spent a little time

12
00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:07,470
in Sri City, we visited a
museum and signed some books

13
00:04:07,470 --> 00:04:10,750
and saw the Library
of [Foreign name]

14
00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:12,760
and then made the
journey downtown here,

15
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,720
we're in the Kremlin right
now, right near Red Square

16
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,660
and we placed some flowers at
the gravesites of [Foreign name]

17
00:04:19,660 --> 00:04:23,560
and [Foreign name] to kind of
pay our reverences to those

18
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,540
who have gone before us
and of course a big part

19
00:04:26,540 --> 00:04:29,280
of our history is those
people, the early pioneers

20
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:31,380
of our spaceflight,
that's what allows us

21
00:04:31,380 --> 00:04:32,600
to continue the program

22
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,480
on the International
Space Station today.

23
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,400
When I do that, I of course
think of the people in the --

24
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,020
all over the world
and especially though

25
00:04:39,020 --> 00:04:41,630
in our U.S. Space Program that
laid the foundation for us

26
00:04:41,630 --> 00:04:43,260
to do what we're doing as well.

27
00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:47,460
So very, very significant
for us and after that,

28
00:04:47,460 --> 00:04:48,740
we just took a little
tour around,

29
00:04:48,740 --> 00:04:51,690
got to see the Czar's
Bell and the cannon inside

30
00:04:51,690 --> 00:04:54,350
and to have just a little
time inside the Kremlin,
