00:00:06,710 --> 00:00:03,840
i truly believe that we all have in us

3
00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:06,720
an innate desire to go explore and see

4
00:00:11,669 --> 00:00:09,280
new things and we have this phenomenal

5
00:00:13,749 --> 00:00:11,679
creation that we've been placed in to

6
00:00:15,509 --> 00:00:13,759
learn about how it works we have a very

7
00:00:17,189 --> 00:00:15,519
unique position in our solar system and

8
00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:17,199
our galaxy to be able to look out there

9
00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:20,640
and to step out and continue to explore

10
00:00:24,870 --> 00:00:22,720
my name is bob hines i'm the pilot for

11
00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:24,880
nasa's spacex crew 4 mission to the

12
00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:27,199
international space station

13
00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:29,119
i was born in fayetteville north

14
00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:30,960
carolina my father was in the army we

15
00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:33,280
were stationed at fort bragg and we

16
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:34,800
moved around a whole bunch the longest

17
00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:36,960
we ever lived anywhere was about two to

18
00:00:40,389 --> 00:00:38,399
two and a half years i got really

19
00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:40,399
comfortable showing up in new places and

20
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:42,879
being able to make friends

21
00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:45,760
when i was a kid i 100 wanted to be a

22
00:00:49,670 --> 00:00:47,600
pilot for as long as i can remember i

23
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:49,680
was just always fascinated not only that

24
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:52,399
something that big could fly and do some

25
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:54,320
amazing things but also just the

26
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:56,960
opportunity to go and see things that

27
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:58,800
not many people have had a chance to do

28
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:00,640
being able to fly and see the earth from

29
00:01:04,789 --> 00:01:02,640
a new perspective has really been just a

30
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:04,799
real driver for me and getting hired as

31
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:07,840
an astronaut has been the ultimate call

32
00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:09,600
contrary to popular belief being a test

33
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:11,760
pilot is not about flying by the seat of

34
00:01:14,469 --> 00:01:13,119
your pants and going out there and just

35
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:14,479
pushing the edge of the envelope all the

36
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:16,560
time it is a much more scientific and

37
00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:18,960
methodical process where we plan out

38
00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:20,799
every mission and all the tasks on every

39
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,400
mission and we're constantly mitigating

40
00:01:26,950 --> 00:01:24,400
the risks that are associated with that

41
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:26,960
mission that seems to really dovetail

42
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:29,040
very well with space flight because

43
00:01:33,749 --> 00:01:31,360
that's a lot of what we do

44
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,759
my experience as a test pilot and as a

45
00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:35,600
pilot and an instructor i think have all

46
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:37,520
kind of led me to this point when i got

47
00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:39,520
the phone call offering me the position

48
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:42,079
of the pilot on the crew 4 mission it

49
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:43,439
was absolutely amazing it was actually

50
00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:45,040
the day after my birthday when i got the

51
00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:46,079
phone call

52
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,759
and i just couldn't believe it when i

53
00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:49,200
told my wife she couldn't believe it

54
00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:50,640
either

55
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:53,759
i've flown over 3 500 hours in more than

56
00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:55,759
50 different kinds of airplanes and that

57
00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:58,479
ranges from gliders all the way to

58
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:00,079
different kinds of fighter airplanes or

59
00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:03,360
large transport category airplanes

60
00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:05,119
i can't wait to pilot this vehicle it is

61
00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:06,960
an incredible honor and something that i

62
00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:08,800
never in my wildest dreams thought would

63
00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:10,720
be a possibility and so to get a chance

64
00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:12,800
to pilot one of the newest vehicles on

65
00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:18,869
with chell as our commander and samantha

66
00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:20,640
and jessica as our mission specialists

67
00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:21,840
it's just going to continue to be an

68
00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:24,080
amazing crew and an amazing experience i

69
00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:25,599
am really looking forward to the

70
00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:27,360
camaraderie and the time that we'll get

71
00:02:30,309 --> 00:02:28,800
to spend together as a crew the

72
00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:30,319
friendships that we'll develop and so i

73
00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:32,400
think continuing that process is one of

74
00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:33,840
the things that i'm looking most forward

75
00:02:37,509 --> 00:02:35,040
to

76
00:02:38,949 --> 00:02:37,519
on launch day i am 100 most looking

77
00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:38,959
forward to the kick in the pants when

78
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:40,560
those rocket motors light and we are

79
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:42,480
heading off the launch pad it is going

80
00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:44,080
to be the culmination of a life hood

81
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:46,480
dream something that just spend your

82
00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:48,800
entire life looking for and not ever

83
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:50,080
sure that you're actually going to

84
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:52,160
achieve it our newest astronaut bob

85
00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:53,920
hines being an astronaut is an

86
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:56,000
incredible responsibility as well as an

87
00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:57,760
incredible honor every astronaut

88
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,440
recognizes the honor that comes with

89
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:01,280
that but also the responsibility that

90
00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:03,040
comes with representing not only our

91
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:05,200
respective countries but also the world

92
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:06,560
and one of the things that we hope to

93
00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:08,239
show is that regardless of our

94
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,319
nationalities or our backgrounds when we

95
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:12,640
put our mind to a single mission and we
