uh congratulations

31
00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:54,720
rick mastracchio welcome home uh an

32
00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:56,319
amazing six months aboard the

33
00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:58,720
international space station i was struck

34
00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:00,720
by the fact that um

35
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,400
four trips to the station during your

36
00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:04,080
career one long duration flight

37
00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:05,519
obviously this one

38
00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:08,319
you watched this station grow and mature

39
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:09,920
over the course of your whole career

40
00:04:14,789 --> 00:04:12,080
practically what were your thoughts when

41
00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:14,799
you and your crewmates departed

42
00:04:18,150 --> 00:04:16,639
in your soyuz vehicle headed back to

43
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:18,160
earth and took a look back at what had

44
00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:20,560
been your home for the past six months

45
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:21,919
well looking back at the expedition

46
00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:23,680
overall excuse me i feel like we

47
00:04:27,670 --> 00:04:25,040
accomplished a lot of things we did a

48
00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:27,680
lot of science we did several evas and

49
00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:29,440
spacewalks to

50
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:31,919
repair the space station and of course

51
00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:33,280
we had a couple of visiting vehicles

52
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,479
while we were there so i think we

53
00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:36,080
accomplished everything the program

54
00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:37,440
asked us to do and maybe a little bit

55
00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:40,479
more so i felt good about it

56
00:04:45,749 --> 00:04:43,680
the ride downhill on soyuz uh everybody

57
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:45,759
calls it the e-ticket at disneyland uh

58
00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:46,960
what were your thoughts what was the

59
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:48,960
most thrilling part of it all yeah it's

60
00:04:53,749 --> 00:04:51,440
uh the words of my mind were wild ride

61
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:53,759
you know and it was wild

62
00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:55,600
first of all just getting yourself as

63
00:04:58,469 --> 00:04:57,199
tight as you can in that seat is a

64
00:05:00,870 --> 00:04:58,479
challenge

65
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:00,880
and then once the uh once you go through

66
00:05:04,629 --> 00:05:03,280
entry pulling about five g's that wasn't

67
00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:04,639
actually too bad but then it really

68
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:06,080
starts when the parachute deployment

69
00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:07,440
sequence starts and you get tossed

70
00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:09,680
around quite a bit then of course the

71
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:11,360
the final impact with the good old

72
00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:13,360
planet earth was a lot harder than i

73
00:05:17,189 --> 00:05:15,440
expected it to be but i feel great i

74
00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:17,199
felt good through the whole thing i felt

75
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:19,039
great after landing and it was uh

76
00:05:24,150 --> 00:05:21,840
everything worked out perfectly

77
00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:24,160
your thoughts your impressions as you

78
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:25,840
took a breath of fresh air for the first

79
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:28,000
time in six months and

80
00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:30,320
saw this crowd around you and smelled

81
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:31,520
the earth

82
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:33,120
some of the sensory thoughts that went

83
00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:34,800
through your mind

84
00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:36,800
yeah

85
00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:38,639
first of all the good the cold air the

86
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:40,880
cool air coming in was fantastic you

87
00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:42,639
know you breathe the space station air

88
00:05:46,790 --> 00:05:45,039
which is is very clean of course but

89
00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:46,800
it's nothing like the air we have here

90
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:48,320
on earth and so that was the first

91
00:05:50,710 --> 00:05:49,440
impression

92
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:50,720
uh you know the other thing i was

93
00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:52,400
thinking before we landed i was thinking

94
00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:54,240
well there has to be

95
00:05:57,990 --> 00:05:55,759
about a hundred different miracles have

96
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:58,000
to happen between undocking and landing

97
00:06:02,070 --> 00:05:59,600
and every one of them worked perfectly

98
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:02,080
and uh i was just overjoyed to be on the

99
00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:04,000
ground and when they opened up the hatch

100
00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:06,800
i was very very happy rick when you have

101
00:06:11,749 --> 00:06:09,360
an opportunity uh weeks or months from

102
00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:11,759
now to look back and think about what

103
00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:13,039
you've accomplished during this

104
00:06:18,469 --> 00:06:15,280
particular flight and all the the major

105
00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:18,479
milestones of expedition 38 and 39

106
00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:20,319
what do you think if you were writing

107
00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:22,880
the legacy of this pair of increments

108
00:06:27,909 --> 00:06:26,560
would be uh uh outstanding in your mind

109
00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:27,919
well of course we had the uh the

110
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:29,520
spacewalks those are always very

111
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:32,400
dramatic and uh very important of course

112
00:06:37,270 --> 00:06:34,800
the visiting vehicles of course we had a

113
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:37,280
one of the cygnus and a spacex

114
00:06:41,189 --> 00:06:39,680
but i tell you i think uh after spacex

115
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:41,199
arrived you know when after cygnus and

116
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:42,960
spacex arrived this amazing amount of

117
00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:44,880
science that we do up there and that's

118
00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:47,039
when really uh it's that's when the fun

119
00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:48,880
begins in my opinion that's when we

120
00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:50,160
start to get out these really good

121
00:06:53,189 --> 00:06:51,520
experiments and we work on them for a

122
00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:53,199
few days and we collect the samples and

123
00:06:56,790 --> 00:06:55,360
then pack them up and get them ready to

124
00:06:58,150 --> 00:06:56,800
return to earth and those were the days

125
00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:58,160
that i enjoyed the most we're really

126
00:07:01,189 --> 00:06:59,199
doing a lot of science because that's

127
00:07:03,670 --> 00:07:01,199
the reason we're up there

128
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:03,680
and the international flavor of your

129
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:05,840
crew and your crew mates and the close

130
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,240
bond that you struck with them uh offer

131
00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:10,400
a few thoughts about what the

132
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:12,160
international space station means in

133
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:15,520
terms of uh a global village up in orbit

134
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:16,880
yeah of course all my crew mates were

135
00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:19,199
great we got along fantastic and i

136
00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:20,639
always tell folks you know yeah even

137
00:07:24,629 --> 00:07:22,800
though we had astronauts from japan in

138
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:24,639
the united states we had cosmonauts from

139
00:07:28,629 --> 00:07:26,880
russia i don't look at those

140
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:28,639
as my crewmates as from being from

141
00:07:31,749 --> 00:07:30,160
russia or from japan or from different

142
00:07:33,749 --> 00:07:31,759
places i look at them as just my friends

143
00:07:36,469 --> 00:07:33,759
and my crewmates and that's a great way

144
00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:36,479
to in any endeavor i think that's a

145
00:07:42,150 --> 00:07:37,840
great way to think about folks is just

146
00:07:44,070 --> 00:07:42,160
as as friends and as as people
