I'm NASA's Dan Huot and I am taking you

2
00:00:08,750 --> 00:00:06,480
behind the scenes of a Soyuz landing

3
00:00:12,110 --> 00:00:08,760
that's a spaceship it was just in space

4
00:00:12,530 --> 00:00:12,120
like 20 minutes ago let's go check it

5
00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:12,540
out

6
00:00:32,690 --> 00:00:29,330
so we are at Ellington field right now

7
00:00:35,210 --> 00:00:32,700
it's about 6:00 a.m. and it's departure

8
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:35,220
day getting ready to go pick up Tim

9
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:37,530
copra from Kazakhstan right after he

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:40,290
comes back from space and in less than

11
00:00:43,820 --> 00:00:42,210
24 hours I'm gonna be on the other side

12
00:00:45,530 --> 00:00:43,830
of the planet ready to pick up an

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:45,540
astronaut in the middle of the desert so

14
00:01:08,220 --> 00:00:47,489
pretty exciting I'm gonna bring you guys

15
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:14,280
in Houston

16
00:01:19,420 --> 00:01:17,710
Shannon's here freezin with me so we'll

17
00:01:21,940 --> 00:01:19,430
be here for just a little bit we're

18
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:21,950
gonna fuel back up and then I sounded

19
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:29,090
Norway so right now we're flying over

20
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:31,130
Greenland and it is absolutely stunning

21
00:01:48,050 --> 00:01:45,830
it is currently 1:45 in the morning here

22
00:01:50,090 --> 00:01:48,060
in Norway that looks like 4:00 in the

23
00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:50,100
afternoon to me so it's kind of crazy

24
00:02:10,040 --> 00:01:53,340
for us right now but we're almost a

25
00:02:17,340 --> 00:02:15,000
after just about 19 hours of travel two

26
00:02:20,430 --> 00:02:17,350
stops in other countries I don't even

27
00:02:21,420 --> 00:02:20,440
know how many time zones we are now in

28
00:02:24,330 --> 00:02:21,430
Kazakhstan

29
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:24,340
yes now we just gotta wait for the crew

30
00:02:45,130 --> 00:02:41,770
and this is where jet lag really starts

31
00:02:48,570 --> 00:02:45,140
to hitch if it's landing day and I'm up

32
00:02:51,130 --> 00:02:48,580
and it's just after 4:30 in the morning

33
00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:51,140
probably about 4 hours before I should

34
00:02:56,380 --> 00:02:54,080
be waking up right now I have up way too

35
00:02:58,660 --> 00:02:56,390
early so it's gonna be a bit of a long

36
00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:58,670
day but it's gonna be really exciting

37
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:01,040
and a couple hours we're gonna head out

38
00:03:09,699 --> 00:03:03,410
to the airport get on the helicopters

39
00:03:27,010 --> 00:03:09,709
and go watch a spaceship come down come

40
00:03:30,490 --> 00:03:27,020
on ready we are now back at the Kerr

41
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:30,500
agonda Airport about half of the NASA

42
00:03:35,170 --> 00:03:33,170
team came here about two hours before us

43
00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:35,180
they loaded up they went out in the

44
00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:37,430
first wave we're gonna go get on ours

45
00:03:41,710 --> 00:03:39,830
and be right behind them a couple of

46
00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:41,720
bare necessities that you have to have

47
00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:44,799
for every one of these trips water

48
00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:47,870
earplugs those things are loud and

49
00:03:52,810 --> 00:03:50,959
lastly the satellite phone when I say we

50
00:03:55,150 --> 00:03:52,820
land in the middle of nowhere we land in

51
00:04:12,880 --> 00:03:55,160
the middle of nowhere no cellphones no

52
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:31,630
you

53
00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:39,930
why we land in Kazakhstan wet and empty

54
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:42,320
first Farsi I can see

55
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:44,330
not to worry about hitting anything

56
00:04:52,210 --> 00:04:46,710
landing in somebody's backyard or

57
00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:52,220
anything fun like that there is a

58
00:05:00,920 --> 00:04:55,590
non-trivial amount of what I can only

59
00:05:08,620 --> 00:05:00,930
assume is worth boat hating my way very

60
00:05:16,250 --> 00:05:08,630
carefully yep here's the pile all right

61
00:05:22,940 --> 00:05:16,260

so they're gonna head off to the medical

73
00:06:36,310 --> 00:06:34,700
tent in just a little while and

74
00:06:38,530 --> 00:06:36,320
basically they'll just get a chance to

75
00:06:40,210 --> 00:06:38,540
acclimate a little bit more change out

76
00:06:41,890 --> 00:06:40,220

gonna touch it as you can see I've

86
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:21,830
changed into my very fashionable blue

87
00:07:25,870 --> 00:07:24,170
NASA flight suit always makes me feel

88
00:07:27,670 --> 00:07:25,880
like an astronaut whatever I get to wear

89
00:07:29,170 --> 00:07:27,680
this everybody in the helicopters wears

90
00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:29,180
one not always the most comfortable

91
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:31,520
thing in the world but definitely very

92
00:07:36,850 --> 00:07:33,830
cool to wear more pockets than you could

00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:36,860
ever ever kind of want I usually find

94
00:07:41,250 --> 00:07:39,260
