1
00:00:05,110 --> 00:00:03,429
uh welcome one board everybody to the

2
00:00:09,669 --> 00:00:05,120
change of command ceremony from

3
00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:09,679
expedition uh 34 to the 35 crew uh we

4
00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:11,040
have just finished up the day and

5
00:00:16,310 --> 00:00:14,400
tomorrow uh the 32s crew myself and oleg

6
00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:16,320
nyogini guinea we'll indock and fly home

7
00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:17,680
and the actual beginning of expedition

8
00:00:21,349 --> 00:00:20,160
35 will begin uh precisely at uh

9
00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:21,359
separation

10
00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:23,760
and uh so that we can concentrate

11
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:25,920
tonight and tomorrow on our duties and

12
00:00:31,189 --> 00:00:28,640
get ready to go home we will go ahead

13
00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:31,199
and do the change of command tonight and

14
00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:33,040
colonel chris hadfield here will

15
00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:34,320
officially be in command of the

16
00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:36,000
international space station assuming he

17
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:38,160
accepts the obligations tonight when i

18
00:00:42,389 --> 00:00:40,239
offer them to him before i get started

19
00:00:44,709 --> 00:00:42,399
though with the change of command proper

20
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:44,719
i want to say just a quick thank you uh

21
00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:45,600
to

22
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:47,120
the people on the ground who make this

23
00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:49,600
all happen this space station is a as a

24
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:51,760
ground effort it's it's tens and tens of

25
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:53,840
thousands of people that make it happen

26
00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:55,520
we are very fortunate to be up here as

27
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:57,360
the crew and get to enjoy the fruits of

28
00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:58,559
all that labor

29
00:01:03,189 --> 00:01:00,879
to uh to be at the at the pointy end if

30
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:03,199
you will and get to be here on the final

31
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:06,000
frontier but you are all here with us on

32
00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:07,840
the final frontier

33
00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:09,360
in many ways this isn't really our

34
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:11,360
expedition it's the expedition of a

35
00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:13,360
group of people on the ground

36
00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:14,799
who begin planning for this kind of

37
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:17,439
thing many many years in advance exactly

38
00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:19,040
what we'll be doing out here and when

39
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:21,840
we're here and uh i was hearing the the

40
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:24,000
the kind of the curricula uh two and a

41
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:26,320
half three years ago and it's amazing

42
00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:28,320
how it materialized and the things that

43
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:30,640
we did on board station upgrades and the

44
00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:32,720
science we did matched up with what we

45
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:34,880
planned to do and the increment manager

46
00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:36,320
is the person who puts that whole

47
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:38,000
strategy together and ours was susan

48
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:40,000
brand and so this is really her

49
00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:41,520
increment and we were very proud to

50
00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:44,320
serve her the person then who takes all

51
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:45,360
of that

52
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:48,159
those tasks that's decided on by the

53
00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:49,360
station program and the increment

54
00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:51,840
manager and makes it all happen is the

55
00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:54,240
lead flight director chris edelen and

56
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:55,840
thank you so much

57
00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:57,680
to to him as well when we undock

58
00:02:02,550 --> 00:01:59,600
tomorrow night his duties as part of

59
00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:02,560
expedition 34 we'll relax a bit too we

60
00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:04,159
we all have more duties

61
00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:06,479
after after the expedition as they go on

62
00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:08,560
but certainly uh the time of the

63
00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:10,239
expedition will come to an end for him

64
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:12,000
too and i'm sure he'll breathe a big

65
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:14,319
sigh of relief and be very proud about

66
00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:16,800
uh about the way the ground has executed

67
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:19,680
it and we work together as a team

68
00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:21,680
and then the one person there is one

69
00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:24,319
more person i really want to thank and

70
00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:26,000
we have to understand what it is we're

71
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,920
doing up here we have to understand what

72
00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:29,280
the scientists want we have to

73
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:31,519
understand uh the constraints the

74
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:33,280
engineering limitations on all this

75
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:34,239
stuff

76
00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:36,000
a space station is

77
00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:38,720
an extremely complicated thing uh i'm

78
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:40,400
sure most of you appreciate that who are

79
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:42,080
watching but

80
00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:43,840
the person who brings that all together

81
00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:45,680
and translates it into something a crew

82
00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:47,519
can understand decides what we should

83
00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:49,440
train on as cathy bull she was our

84
00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:51,920
station training lead for increment 34

85
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:53,760
and she just put it all together for us

86
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:56,160
she is our closest point of contact to

87
00:03:00,309 --> 00:02:58,080
all those things that we've done here so

88
00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:00,319
i really i really want to thank them i

89
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:02,640
know this has been a hugely successful

90
00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:05,040
increment for them too on the ground

91
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:07,040
working through the any of the setbacks

92
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:08,640
we've had and making new plans and

93
00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:10,560
putting together the weekly plan and the

94
00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:12,080
daily plans too it's just very

95
00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:14,400
complicated what we do inside is only a

96
00:03:18,149 --> 00:03:16,319
very small part of actually what's

97
00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:18,159
happening on the space station there are

98
00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:20,159
many many things going on outside the

99
00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:21,840
space station too that the crew doesn't

100
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:23,360
even interact with some of the

101
00:03:27,190 --> 00:03:25,440
constraints we have on board

102
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:27,200
come from those things that are going on

103
00:03:30,869 --> 00:03:29,840
outside too so it was really a brilliant

104
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:30,879
piece of work putting the whole

105
00:03:34,149 --> 00:03:33,040
expedition together and thank you to

106
00:03:36,309 --> 00:03:34,159
those people

107
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:36,319
and so now i want to move on to the the

108
00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:38,640
change of command and give

109
00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:40,400
chris some chris some time to talk here

110
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:42,959
too um the change of command happens

111
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:45,040
four times a year and it's kind of a

112
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:47,120
sign that uh that we've moved on to new

113
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:48,879
objectives and everything and so chris

114
00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:50,640
is ready to take those on he has a

115
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:52,720
vision for 35 he knows what's going to

116
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:55,200
happen i'm not even trained on what

117
00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:57,200
what's going to happen in 35 probably so

118
00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:58,720
it's kind of good that

119
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:00,720
it's time for me to to head on home with

120
00:04:05,830 --> 00:04:03,519
oleg guinea and hand it on to these guys

121
00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:05,840
to chris tom and roman and they can

122
00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,159
welcome one board uh sasha pavel and

123
00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:10,239
chris cassidy so that they can get on

124
00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:13,439
with expedition 35 very soon

125
00:04:16,789 --> 00:04:14,640
so

126
00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:16,799
with that i'm going to

127
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:19,840
start just talk a little bit about the

128
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:22,639
the change of command itself um as as

129
00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:24,960
that happens today after this like i

130
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:27,520
said we'll we'll start relaxing and a

131
00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:29,120
little bit getting ready for the the big

132
00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:30,160
trip home

133
00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:31,759
my commander has always been as far as

134
00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:34,400
the soyuz was concerned oleg and i want

135
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:35,759
to say a word about oleg and you have

136
00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:37,120
guinea

137
00:04:41,590 --> 00:04:39,360
those guys i didn't really know before i

138
00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:41,600
began the training for the expedition as

139
00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:42,880
soon as you know who you're assigned to

140
00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:45,280
fly with you start to look uh look and

141
00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:47,120
find out all you can about them and we

142
00:04:51,830 --> 00:04:49,919
have cosmonauts who come and be dohs and

143
00:04:53,189 --> 00:04:51,840
got a chance to to learn about them and

144
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:53,199
know them that way

145
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:55,600
they they worked in houston with us and

146
00:04:59,590 --> 00:04:57,840
uh i tell you they're like brothers to

147
00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:59,600
me they they say they consider me like

148
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:01,440
their papa which i'm not sure how to

149
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:03,280
take that i feel like a brother to them

150
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:04,320
honestly

151
00:05:08,950 --> 00:05:07,440
so but uh we're very close and uh it's

152
00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:08,960
just been an extreme pleasure to fly

153
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:11,680
with them they're fantastic in the soyuz

154
00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:13,280
they they're the guys that should go to

155
00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:16,000
mars and i'll probably be in an armchair

156
00:05:19,510 --> 00:05:17,039
watching them because they're much

157
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:19,520
younger than me but uh they they're

158
00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:20,800
fantastic

159
00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:22,560
cosmonauts and it's been just an extreme

160
00:05:25,990 --> 00:05:24,639
extreme pleasure to fly with them and

161
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:26,000
the other two crewmates here before we

162
00:05:30,469 --> 00:05:28,400
get to chris ramon and tom tom has been

163
00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:30,479
doing some fantastic science up here he

164
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:32,320
has a vision of what a doctor should do

165
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:34,800
in space he gives us advice and at night

166
00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:36,639
at dinner time and explains things to us

167
00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:39,120
that really makes it makes a big picture

168
00:05:41,990 --> 00:05:40,080
uh

169
00:05:45,189 --> 00:05:42,000
complete for us about some of the stuff

170
00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:45,199
we do up here and then roman i flew with

171
00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:46,560
actually when i flew before he was up

172
00:05:50,469 --> 00:05:47,919
here on sts

173
00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:50,479
120 when i came up for sts-128 he was

174
00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:53,199
already here he's just also a fantastic

175
00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:55,600
fantastic crewmate always uh he's very

176
00:05:59,670 --> 00:05:57,440
experienced the most experienced of us

177
00:06:01,990 --> 00:05:59,680
so he just brings a lot to the table and

178
00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:02,000
it's been a pleasure to fly with him too

179
00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:05,120
and of course chris here is uh is he

180
00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:07,520
brings also some super super special

181
00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:09,120
talents to the table and i'm not going

182
00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:10,479
to go through them all because you know

183
00:06:15,590 --> 00:06:13,199
what they are uh he he's really he's

184
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:15,600
really a people person he's out there he

185
00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:18,000
