expedition

3
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:21,439
crew members and soyuz crew already here

4
00:00:26,550 --> 00:00:23,920
and present

5
00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:26,560
to take final examinations uh commander

6
00:00:28,950 --> 00:00:28,000
your chicken

7
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:28,960
flight

8
00:01:01,990 --> 00:00:59,990
oh i love it it's it's my second home

9
00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:02,000
you know i spent most of the last three

10
00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:04,559
years three years here and we have a

11
00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:06,640
nice little cottages that we live in

12
00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:09,680
just about 400 yards that way

13
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:11,439
people are great and the training's been

14
00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:17,510
jack can you talk for a second about the

15
00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:19,439
complexity of the training throughout

16
00:01:23,429 --> 00:01:21,040
this whole flow and your level of

17
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:23,439
preparedness

18
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:25,520
well hopefully we'll demonstrate that

19
00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:28,159
today uh i think that we've had an

20
00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:30,159
incredible amount of training and on

21
00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:32,640
this station you do so many different

22
00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:35,680
activities that you can't be

23
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:37,520
a master of all of those you have to

24
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:40,000
just have the general skills to uh do

25
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:42,000
all the activities on the station as far

26
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:43,439
as the soyuz

27
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:45,600
you know it's people say well it's only

28
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:47,840
six hours up and three or four hours

29
00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:50,560
down and it's most of our training

30
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:52,640
because it's the most important six

31
00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:54,560
hours and four hours that that most

32
00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:57,119
things can go wrong and this is an

33
00:02:01,670 --> 00:01:59,600
incredibly reliable

34
00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:01,680
spacecraft and that means it's

35
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:05,280
incredibly complex so we train for years

36
00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:06,640
to make sure that we know all those

37
00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:08,959
systems that we know the indications of

38
00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:11,360
problems and that we can switch things

39
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:13,040
over when we need to

40
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:15,280
so we can safely get to the station and

41
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:18,000
safely get home i hope we're ready we'll

42
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:23,350
thank you very much colleagues a

[Music]

46
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:55,190
is closed

47
00:03:05,589 --> 00:02:56,710
we have arrived

48
00:03:16,149 --> 00:03:08,309
you can take all of them all at once

49
00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:17,830
minus

50
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:28,550
well you're probably used to the markers

51
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:30,720
you see the conclusion depends on which

52
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:33,440
side of the table you're standing

53
00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:46,470
may we ask you a question

54
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:48,000
jack

55
00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:49,440
you're a seasoned

56
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:51,360
air force test pilot uh you've been in

57
00:03:54,869 --> 00:03:53,360
training for this for quite a while what

58
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:54,879
are your thoughts as you head into the

59
00:04:00,149 --> 00:03:57,280
home stretch now prior to launch

60
00:04:01,990 --> 00:04:00,159
oh we're just we're really excited about

61
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:02,000
getting down to baikonur and actually

62
00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:03,760
doing this for real i think we've been

63
00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:05,599
training for so long

64
00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:07,439
we work great as a team

65
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:08,799
hopefully you'll see that over the next

66
00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:09,840
two days

67
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:12,319
as we work through our final exams but

68
00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:14,400
mostly it's just excitement i'm i'm

69
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:16,239
really excited to get there and and to

70
00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:18,639
go with someone as experienced as kyoto

71
00:04:21,749 --> 00:04:20,959
nikolaevich it's it's a huge honor for

72
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:21,759
me

73
00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:24,080
i continually learn things from him and

74
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:25,919
i can't wait to be in the soyuz floating

75
00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:27,440
around and learning all the other tricks

76
00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:29,440
that he has up his sleeve for me and

77
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:31,440
speaking of the soyuz

78
00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:32,880
what are some of the most interesting

79
00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:34,800
things you've learned about this vehicle

80
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:36,240
during the training and some of the

81
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:37,520
challenges

82
00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:39,040
you know it's just

83
00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:41,280
the most reliable spacecraft we've

84
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:43,440
really ever had it's it's got so many

85
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:45,680
systems and backup systems which is what

86
00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:47,600
makes our training so complex because

87
00:04:52,469 --> 00:04:49,840
you have to understand which of those

88
00:04:55,189 --> 00:04:52,479
systems are working and be able to

89
00:04:58,070 --> 00:04:55,199
transition when there is a problem

90
00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:58,080
it's incredibly reliable it's become our

91
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:00,560
second home and we're just excited to
