1 00:00:02,149 --> 00:00:00,230 [Music] 2 00:00:04,470 --> 00:00:02,159 i'm victor glover nasa astronaut navy 3 00:00:06,869 --> 00:00:04,480 commander i'm dr shannon walker nasa 4 00:00:09,030 --> 00:00:06,879 astronaut my name is soichi noguchi from 5 00:00:10,709 --> 00:00:09,040 japan hi i'm colonel mike hopkins united 6 00:00:12,070 --> 00:00:10,719 states air force and nasa astronaut i 7 00:00:13,589 --> 00:00:12,080 will be the commander on nasa and 8 00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:13,599 spacex's crew 1 mission to the 9 00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:28,710 [Music] 10 00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:31,669 crew one is the designator for the first 11 00:00:35,590 --> 00:00:34,000 operational mission of the spacex crew 12 00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:35,600 dragon so it's a new vehicle we are 13 00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:38,640 starting the phase where we are flying 14 00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:41,120 astronauts nasa is flying astronauts to 15 00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:43,040 the international space station on 16 00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:44,480 commercial crew vehicles we're going to 17 00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:45,680 go up and we're going to stay for the 18 00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:47,440 full long duration 19 00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:49,760 from six to seven months long one thing 20 00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:51,600 that's very different about our flight 21 00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:53,360 versus doug and bob's is we'll have four 22 00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:54,239 people 23 00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:58,640 such a vehicle we want to get our crew 24 00:01:03,189 --> 00:01:00,719 dragon spacecraft to the space station 25 00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:03,199 and home safely flying the spaceship is 26 00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:04,879 one piece there's also the very 27 00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:06,720 important mission of being on the 28 00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:08,159 international space station and of 29 00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:09,760 course once i arrive on the space 30 00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:11,840 station i'll be a board engineer and do 31 00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:14,159 lots of science and maintenance and 32 00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:17,200 spacewalks robotics all kinds of work 33 00:01:21,990 --> 00:01:18,880 and then at the end of our mission our 34 00:01:24,630 --> 00:01:22,000 stay on iss i'll command the vehicle and 35 00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:24,640 bring us back home and land and and then 36 00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:26,479 at that point it's all done well 37 00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:28,240 actually it's not all done once you get 38 00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:30,880 back from the mission uh you you have a 39 00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:37,190 you know you you go through the 40 00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:38,720 day-to-day training the day-to-day 41 00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:41,200 operations to get ready for it there's 42 00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:42,960 the basic competencies i guess flying 43 00:01:47,109 --> 00:01:45,119 t-38s uh the high-performance jet flying 44 00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:47,119 that we do the nbl training the diving 45 00:01:50,789 --> 00:01:48,560 in the full pressure suit the spacesuit 46 00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:50,799 to train for spacewalks robotics 47 00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:52,399 training i'm still taking rushing 48 00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:55,520 classes the science payloads and also 49 00:01:59,990 --> 00:01:57,600 the maintenance tasks and also some of 50 00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:00,000 the assembly tasks remain on the space 51 00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:02,000 station how to handle emergencies on the 52 00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:04,000 space station to how you fly the crew 53 00:02:09,270 --> 00:02:06,880 dragon spacecraft we've been going out 54 00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:09,280 to spacex and working with them 55 00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:11,200 from a training standpoint as well as 56 00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:12,879 from a development and verification and 57 00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:15,120 testing standpoint also in many ways 58 00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:17,680 having trained in spacecraft and for 59 00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:19,440 space flight all over the world training 60 00:02:22,949 --> 00:02:20,959 is training and it's all about the same 61 00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:22,959 you start off with theoretical work and 62 00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:25,280 then you move into the practical insider 63 00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:33,509 you know it is a it's a great honor 64 00:02:37,509 --> 00:02:36,000 first and foremost and looking at all 65 00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:37,519 their experience it makes me one 66 00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:39,280 comfortable that there's so much 67 00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:41,440 experience and so many ways that i can 68 00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:43,840 learn from them but at the same time i 69 00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:46,239 want to be ready and able to contribute 70 00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:48,720 my my kids my wife have said you don't 71 00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:50,800 go to work anymore do you it's like it's 72 00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:52,560 like you go and just play all day and 73 00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:53,920 and that's what it feels like when you 74 00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:56,000 when you come here to jsc and you get to 75 00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:56,879 train 76 00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:58,239 and it's it's much more serious than 77 00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:00,959 that right it has real consequences 78 00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,440 but at the same time you know i just 79 00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:05,360 absolutely love it to be able to fly a 80 00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:08,080 new spacecraft to our home of almost two 81 00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:10,239 decades in low earth orbit is just an 82 00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:12,239 amazing accomplishment americans are 83 00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:13,680 really should be proud of this 84 00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:16,720 achievement but for the rest of the 85 00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:18,879 7.4 billion people 86 00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:20,800 i will open the door for you this is 87 00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:23,360 international corporation and all the 88 00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:25,280 other people around the world have a 89 00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:28,799 chance to ride on this screwdriver so 90 00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:31,519 this is a new era i think it is just 91 00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:34,000 tremendously exciting and fascinating to 92 00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:37,040 know that kids are growing up today that 93 00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:39,680 have always had people living in space 94 00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:41,360 and always had the countries working 95 00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:43,920 together for science and engineering 96 00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:45,040 objectives 97 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:46,400 all for one 98 00:03:58,060 --> 00:03:55,350 [Music] 99 00:04:04,149 --> 00:03:58,070 subscribe
