together on the world's only

5
00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:21,760
international space station

00:00:27,109 --> 00:00:24,480
u.s navy captain barry wilmore grew up

7
00:00:29,589 --> 00:00:27,119
in mount juliet tennessee a suburb of

8
00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:29,599
nashville it's a place and time he

9
00:00:34,389 --> 00:00:31,840
remembers for great friends and a great

10
00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:34,399
school program that nurtured his natural

11
00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:37,120
impulses my parents my mom specifically

12
00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:39,600
told me that my first word was not mama

13
00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:43,040
or daddy it was why i've always always

14
00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:44,559
been inquisitive

15
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:46,719
and you know what's out there how's that

16
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:48,960
work and those type of type of thoughts

17
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:50,960
have always been within me

18
00:00:55,029 --> 00:00:53,360
after high school in mount julia wilmore

19
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:55,039
walked on to the football team at

20
00:01:00,150 --> 00:00:57,280
tennessee technological university

21
00:01:01,910 --> 00:01:00,160
despite being what he describes as slow

22
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:01,920
small and weak

23
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:04,400
but his urge to know why kicked in and

24
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:06,000
he earned a bachelor's degree in

25
00:01:10,469 --> 00:01:07,680
electrical engineering

26
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:10,479
then what he calls a patriotic tug

27
00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:12,880
pulled him to the navy after finishing

28
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:14,799
flight school and picking up the call

29
00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:17,680
sign butch wilmore made two deployments

30
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:19,759
during operation desert storm

31
00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:22,080
then went to the navy test pilot school

32
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:24,479
and later earned two master's degrees

33
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:26,320
one in aviation systems from the

34
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:28,560
university of tennessee and the other in

35
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:31,360
electrical engineering from ttu before

36
00:01:36,789 --> 00:01:34,400
making two more overseas deployments

37
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:36,799
then he taught at the navies and the air

38
00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:39,200
force's test pilot schools before being

39
00:01:44,149 --> 00:01:42,079
selected as an astronaut in 2000

40
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:44,159
wilmore made his first space flight as

41
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:45,920
the pilot on a space shuttle mission

42
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:47,680
that delivered express logistics

43
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:49,520
carriers and other parts to the

44
00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:52,880
international space station in late 2009

45
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:54,640
this mission gives him the chance to

46
00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:56,960
push the boundaries of human knowledge

47
00:02:01,350 --> 00:01:59,600
we do science and various things

48
00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:01,360
hopefully for the betterment of mankind

49
00:02:05,749 --> 00:02:03,520
that's why the station exists so we can

50
00:02:08,869 --> 00:02:05,759
turn around what we learned there and

51
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:08,879
and and and use it here on earth that's

52
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:10,000
our purpose

53
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:12,080
and to to go and and have the

54
00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:14,640
opportunity to do that like i said is is

55
00:02:19,110 --> 00:02:16,640
very very humbling

56
00:02:22,229 --> 00:02:19,120
alexander samokutyaev was born and

57
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:22,239
raised in penza southeast of moscow as a

58
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:25,040
boy he loved science and ice hockey

59
00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:27,120
but he had no real doubt about what he

60
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:28,879
would do with his life

61
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:30,720
a lot of children when you ask them who

62
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:32,080
they want to be

63
00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:34,640
sometimes it's hard for them to answer

64
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:36,959
as long as i remember myself it was

65
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:39,680
never a difficult question for me

66
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:42,239
who do you want to be i always knew i

67
00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:43,760

be a pilot

69
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:48,080
maybe a little bit later i realized i

70
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:50,640
wanted to be in military pilot

71
00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:52,800
semakutiya made his first flight as a

72
00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:55,280

00:03:19,509 --> 00:03:17,360
start cosmonaut training himself in 2003

82
00:03:22,149 --> 00:03:19,519
he completed one spacewalk on his first

russian government service academy but

90
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:38,000
he's eager to continue the exploration

91
00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:39,360
of space

92
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:42,720
and with the prospect of flying to

93
00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:44,879
distance planets maybe out into the

94
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:47,360
solar system right now we're laying the

95
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:50,640
foundation the stepping stone that we

96
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:53,680
can do and can implement as part of the

97
00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:55,360
isis project

98
00:04:01,270 --> 00:03:57,920
elena sarova the fourth russian woman to

99
00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:01,280
go to space and the first since 1997 was

100

stationed with the soviet military

103
00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:10,080
there she learned to love the

104
00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:12,319
star-filled sky and developed an

105
00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:14,720
appreciation for flight on trips with

106
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:16,639
her father to the airfield

107
00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:18,639
as a young student she was influenced by

108
00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:20,720
the writings of constantine siokovsky

109
00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:23,280
the russian father of rocketry and by

110
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:25,199
the leading personalities of the early

111
00:04:28,870 --> 00:04:27,440
soviet space program

112
00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:28,880
when i was in school

113
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:31,120
my first teacher

114
00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:34,160
told us about different achievements in

115
00:04:38,230 --> 00:04:35,600
cosmonautics

116
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:38,240
and i was very much impressed by those

117
00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:40,960
first flights from svetlana savitzka in

118
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:43,440
particular who was the first woman

119
00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:44,560
performing

120
00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:46,080
a space walk

121
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:49,360
she was an amazing individual

122
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:51,440
sorova spent part of her teens in

123
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:53,280
germany when her father was transferred

124
00:04:57,510 --> 00:04:55,360
there but she returned to moscow when it

125
00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:57,520
was time for college she pursued her

126
00:05:01,909 --> 00:04:59,440
interest in space and engineering at the

127
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:01,919
moscow aviation institute graduating

128
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:04,240
from its aerospace department and then

129
00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,160
going to work as a test engineer at the

130
00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:08,720
rocket space corporation inergia while

131
00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:10,960
also earning a postgraduate degree in

132
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:13,120

133
00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:15,360
machinery and informatics she was

134
00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:17,280
selected for russia's cosmonaut corps in

135
00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:20,560
2006 and is eager for the opportunity to

136
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:24,639
go to space and improve life on earth

137
00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:26,720
we don't do it for ourselves we do it

138
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:30,000
for others for future generations

139
00:05:34,469 --> 00:05:32,400
so that

140
00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:34,479
people on earth live better

141
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:38,800
they have better opportunities they have

142
00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:39,680
better

143
00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:42,800
conditions of life on earth

144
00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:44,880
so that's what we do when we take the

145
00:05:48,469 --> 00:05:46,560
risk

146
00:05:50,390 --> 00:05:48,479

his parents worked at nasa and astronaut

150
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:57,680
was his goal since he was a little kid

151
00:06:01,510 --> 00:05:59,600
and there's something about me naturally

152
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:01,520
that i just love flying in space when i

153
00:06:04,629 --> 00:06:02,720
was a kid i had

154

planet

184
00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:06,800
there's a lot that we can learn from

185
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,400
robotics and it's a it's a great

186
00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:10,400
partnership and they can do things that

187
00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:11,919
people can't do but people can do things

that they can't do

189
00:07:17,189 --> 00:07:15,520
and ultimately it's about

190
00:07:18,790 --> 00:07:17,199
us being there and living there and if

191
00:07:21,029 --> 00:07:18,800
we're going to do that we have to

192
00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:21,039
go there and live there

193
00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:23,520
anton shkaplerov was born and raised in

194
00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:25,520
sevastopol the home of the russian

195
00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:28,160

196
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:30,639
worked on a submarine shkaplerov became

197
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:32,880
fascinated with space flight as a boy

198
00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:34,880
and felt that the air force was the best

199
00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:41,670
when i was 15 in the eighth grade

200
00:07:43,909 --> 00:07:43,199
i joined

201
00:07:45,909 --> 00:07:43,919

in sivastoppel i flew small planes

204
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:53,520
and so when i turned 16 i got my pilot's

205
00:07:59,029 --> 00:07:55,919
license and i started flying

206
00:08:00,790 --> 00:07:59,039
aircrafts on my own after high school

207
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:00,800
shkaplerov went to the kaczynsk air

208
00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:02,960
force pilot school in volgograd and

209
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:05,680
graduated as a pilot engineer he flew

210
00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:08,080
mig-29s while attending the zukovsky air

211
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:10,800
force engineering school then spent six

212
00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:13,440
years as a pilot instructor while also

213
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:16,080
flying as a member of the sky hussars a

214
00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:18,160
flight demonstration squadron

215
00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:20,160
shkaplerov was selected as a cosmonaut

216
00:08:24,869 --> 00:08:22,879
in 2003 and made his first trip to the

217
00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:24,879
international space station as a flight

218
00:08:31,189 --> 00:08:27,759
engineer on expeditions 29 and 30 in

219
00:08:33,029 --> 00:08:31,199
2011 and 2012. he retired from the

220
00:08:35,269 --> 00:08:33,039
russian air force as a colonel after

221
00:08:37,589 --> 00:08:35,279
that flight and earned a phd in

222
00:08:40,949 --> 00:08:37,599
aerodynamics from russia's military

223
00:08:42,790 --> 00:08:40,959
aviation engineering academy in 2014

224
00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:42,800
while finishing the training for this

225
00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:45,440
flight which he feels is blazing a trail

226
00:08:57,509 --> 00:08:54,389
i'm ready to take all these risks

227
00:09:00,150 --> 00:08:57,519
um to get this shot of adrenaline

228
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:00,160
because i know that every day on board

229
00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:07,430
when i am on board the international

230
00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:09,920
space station i am

231
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:11,519
at the forefront

232
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:14,800
of space exploration

233
00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:16,800
italian air force captain samantha

234
00:09:21,990 --> 00:09:19,440
christoferetti is a native of milan but

235
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:22,000
she grew up in the italian alps in a

236
00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:24,240
small tourist town of mali where her

237
00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:26,080
parents ran a hotel

238
00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:28,240
she doesn't remember a time that she

239
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:31,360
didn't love adventure or want to explore

240
00:09:34,630 --> 00:09:33,040
space

241
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:34,640
i was very fortunate to enjoy a

242
00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:36,720
childhood in which you can roam around

243
00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:38,560
as a child you know unsupervised you

244
00:09:41,750 --> 00:09:40,240
don't have adults with you all the time

245
00:09:43,430 --> 00:09:41,760
and maybe that's what i got that taste

246
00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:43,440
for adventure that i think is very much

247
00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:44,399
part of

248
00:09:49,829 --> 00:09:47,519
that desire i always had to go to space

249
00:09:51,990 --> 00:09:49,839
her adventurous nature persisted as she

250
00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:52,000
grew up she spent her junior year of

251
00:09:56,550 --> 00:09:54,160
high school abroad in saint paul

252
00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:56,560
minnesota because it was in the country

253
00:10:01,190 --> 00:09:59,440
that had the most exciting space program

254
00:10:02,790 --> 00:10:01,200
then she earned a degree in mechanical

255
00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:02,800
engineering from the university of

256
00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:04,959
munich which included research in

257
00:10:10,870 --> 00:10:08,000
aerodynamics done in toulouse and in

258
00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:10,880
solid rocket propellants in moscow

259
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:12,720
next she joined italy's air force

260
00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:14,800
academy just as the country first

261
00:10:19,829 --> 00:10:17,120
allowed voluntary military service by

262
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:19,839
women while also completing a bachelor's

263
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:22,160
degree in aeronautical sciences at the

264
00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:24,000
university of naples

265
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:26,000
then it was flight training at the nato

266
00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:27,680
school at shepherd air force base in

267
00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:30,560
texas followed by fighter training and

268
00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:32,480
when one of the infrequent astronaut

269
00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:34,720
selections by the european space agency

270
00:10:38,949 --> 00:10:37,200
came up she applied for the program even

271
00:10:41,430 --> 00:10:38,959
though she was doing her operational

272
00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:41,440
conversion to the amx ground attack

273
00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:43,519
fighter she was selected for isis

274
00:10:49,030 --> 00:10:46,640
astronaut corps in 2009 and is now eager

275
00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:49,040
to contribute to making a reality out of

276
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:52,640
her dream imagine humanity in 500 years

277
00:10:57,269 --> 00:10:54,720
do you imagine humanity being still

278
00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:57,279
earthbound like we still are not able to

279
00:11:01,350 --> 00:10:58,880
go anywhere else

280
00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:01,360
to me is being part of the you know the

281
00:11:08,310 --> 00:11:05,040
first step towards that future that is
