1
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:44,549
go back

2
00:00:44,559 --> 00:01:20,230
programs

3
00:01:20,240 --> 00:02:02,310
oops

4
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:23,510
okay

5
00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:25,110
how does it feel to be away from your

6
00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:27,040
launch less than a month from now

7
00:02:29,910 --> 00:02:28,560
we're pretty excited i have to say it

8
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:29,920
feels a little bit different as prime

9
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:32,080
crew than it did at backup we know that

10
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:34,080
launch is coming very soon

11
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:35,760
but i'm extremely confident that our

12
00:02:41,350 --> 00:02:38,080
crew is well prepared we've had years of

13
00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:41,360
training by instructors at both nasa jsc

14
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:43,920
as well as gctc here

15
00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:45,840
in russia and

16
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:47,920
our international partners at jackson

17
00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:51,040
esa as well and csa

18
00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:52,319
you just finished your final

19
00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:54,400
qualification exams and your you've

20
00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:56,959
trained in both the soyuz tma series and

21
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,879
of course your own ms series vehicle

22
00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:00,720
that you'll be flying what were some of

23
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:02,480
the challenges that you faced during

24
00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:04,480
your qual exams and during your overall

25
00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:05,760
training

26
00:03:11,589 --> 00:03:09,280
we've switched vehicles between the

27
00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:11,599
backup and the prime launches but it's

28
00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:13,280
actually been really a great chance to

29
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:15,280
see the teams pull together put the

30
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:17,760
procedures together and watch everybody

31
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:19,760
really quickly transition to this new

32
00:03:24,309 --> 00:03:21,760
vehicle so it's been a great process

33
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:24,319
going through final exams and and seeing

34
00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:26,560
our trainers the ground personnel and

35
00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:28,159
our crew really work together on all of

36
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:29,680

37
00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:31,680
