1
00:01:00,456 --> 00:01:01,446
>> Everything's fine?

2
00:01:01,756 --> 00:01:03,186
Yeah. Hello.

3
00:01:04,396 --> 00:01:06,686
Coming over there.

4
00:01:07,516 --> 00:01:46,586
[ background conversation ]

5
00:01:47,086 --> 00:01:51,636
Cosmonauts and astronauts,
first of all,

6
00:01:51,676 --> 00:01:55,396
we would like to greet you
here on Earth in Kazakhastan

7
00:01:56,116 --> 00:02:02,156
on our multicultural land
at the international level.

8
00:02:02,156 --> 00:02:08,016
And we would like to wish
you good health and wish you,

9
00:02:08,016 --> 00:02:11,216
from Kazakhstan, and to
give you, from Kazakhstan,

10
00:02:11,366 --> 00:02:17,776
these flowers from us to you.

11
00:02:17,776 --> 00:02:21,736
We wish you good spirits,
good health, good health,

12
00:02:22,056 --> 00:02:27,556
and I hope we are
going to meet again

13
00:02:27,606 --> 00:02:31,456
and wish you all the
best here on Earth.

14
00:02:31,456 --> 00:02:34,056
This land is very welcoming.

15
00:02:34,536 --> 00:02:39,446
And we are ready to greet you,

16
00:02:39,936 --> 00:02:43,786
even when you're
coming not from space.

17
00:02:43,786 --> 00:02:48,006
Have a look at our
beautiful ladies.

18
00:02:48,066 --> 00:02:52,476
That's what they have prepared
for you, our national costume,

19
00:02:52,476 --> 00:02:57,536
and some leaflets,
some books about --

20
00:02:57,536 --> 00:03:06,996
some candy from Kostanay so
that your life is just as sweet

21
00:03:06,996 --> 00:03:11,396
as the candy and chocolate.

22
00:03:11,616 --> 00:03:17,096
Dear friends, dear cosmonauts,
dear astronauts, and I,

23
00:03:17,136 --> 00:03:23,846
as the representative of our
aviation side department,

24
00:03:25,166 --> 00:03:33,486
would like to present you with
these traditional matryoshkas

25
00:03:33,996 --> 00:03:39,766
from the Russian Federation
from Russian Aviation,

26
00:03:40,756 --> 00:03:53,156
and each of them has
your names on it.

27
00:04:04,276 --> 00:04:05,396
Thank you, thank you.

28
00:04:18,046 --> 00:04:21,926
And where is the
Japanese delegation?

29
00:04:22,146 --> 00:04:25,416
And another one.

30
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:29,816
>> So you just tell us
how you're feeling now

31
00:04:30,266 --> 00:04:30,776
that you're home.

32
00:04:31,176 --> 00:04:34,076
>> Well, I'm feeling great to
be back on Earth but feeling,

33
00:04:34,076 --> 00:04:37,406
of course, after coming back
from space for a little while,

34
00:04:37,406 --> 00:04:40,166
you feel a little woozy,
so I'm a little tired.

35
00:04:40,166 --> 00:04:43,066
It was a long day, and
feeling not my 100 percent,

36
00:04:43,066 --> 00:04:45,006
but pretty good.

37
00:04:45,486 --> 00:04:47,956
>> Okay. Let's talk about what
you guys did on the expedition.

38
00:04:47,956 --> 00:04:49,456
You had an incredibly busy time.

39
00:04:49,456 --> 00:04:50,816
You had a lot of
vehicles coming up there.

40
00:04:50,816 --> 00:04:53,726
You also had three space walks,
which were quite memorable.

41
00:04:53,726 --> 00:04:54,726
Talk about that.

42
00:04:55,336 --> 00:04:57,136
>> So, yeah, it was
pretty busy up there.

43
00:04:57,136 --> 00:04:58,616
It was sort of one
thing after another,

44
00:04:58,696 --> 00:05:00,986
and people asked how we
were going to manage,

45
00:05:00,986 --> 00:05:02,986
and I think we just
focused on one event,

46
00:05:03,216 --> 00:05:04,766
and then led to the next event.

47
00:05:05,476 --> 00:05:06,816
So it was exciting.

48
00:05:06,856 --> 00:05:08,436
There wasn't a lot of downtime,

49
00:05:08,436 --> 00:05:10,876
and whenever we did have any
downtime, we got to do a lot

50
00:05:10,876 --> 00:05:12,326
of good science, and
that's what the --

51
00:05:12,326 --> 00:05:15,226
the Space Station is now
in the utilization phase.

52
00:05:15,316 --> 00:05:18,006
So it was really rewarding.

53
00:05:18,216 --> 00:05:20,426
It was one thing, like
I said, after another,

54
00:05:20,466 --> 00:05:23,236
but it was all a lot of
fun, and I can't say enough

55
00:05:23,236 --> 00:05:24,486
about the crew that I was with.

56
00:05:24,526 --> 00:05:27,836
They were great, and we all had,
made it a lot of fun together.

57
00:05:28,596 --> 00:05:30,606
>> So when you look back at
your expedition, what's going

58
00:05:30,606 --> 00:05:32,126
to be the main thing that
you remember about it?

59
00:05:32,126 --> 00:05:34,256
>> Gosh, there's just
too many things to pick.

60
00:05:34,416 --> 00:05:35,486
It's hard to pick out one.

61
00:05:35,816 --> 00:05:39,576
The space walks were, of
course, incredible, you know,

62
00:05:39,646 --> 00:05:41,956
started off thinking it was
going to be a bolt replacement,

63
00:05:42,226 --> 00:05:45,976
essentially, and it grew into
a couple more after that.

64
00:05:46,076 --> 00:05:50,976
And particularly, the radiator
change-out was a little bit

65
00:05:50,976 --> 00:05:54,506
of a challenge, just because we
had never practiced that before,

66
00:05:54,506 --> 00:05:56,126
but it was, it went real well.

67
00:05:56,196 --> 00:05:58,886
So I guess the space walks
were probably the highlight,

68
00:06:00,106 --> 00:06:03,826
but you know, close second, I
think, is just spending time

69
00:06:03,826 --> 00:06:05,126
up there with that crew.

70
00:06:05,446 --> 00:06:06,206
>> So are you looking forward

71
00:06:06,206 --> 00:06:08,256
to getting back home
and seeing your dog?

72
00:06:08,346 --> 00:06:08,746
>> Oh, yeah.

73
00:06:10,096 --> 00:06:12,566
I've got pictures of him
on his trip to Houston.

74
00:06:12,566 --> 00:06:16,186
He was in an airplane
with my sister and my dad,

75
00:06:16,246 --> 00:06:18,526
so I think he had a little
traumatic day getting

76
00:06:18,526 --> 00:06:20,676
to Houston, and I'll have a
little traumatic day getting

77
00:06:20,676 --> 00:06:24,036
to Houston, but we'll be
happy together in our reunion.
