[Music]

2
00:00:16,230 --> 00:00:14,400
chris welcome back oh man great to see

3
00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:16,240
you man i can't believe it was less than

4
00:00:20,390 --> 00:00:18,400
a week ago you were in space i can't

5
00:00:21,910 --> 00:00:20,400
either you know it all happened so fast

6
00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:21,920
it's so cool and next thing you know

7
00:00:25,589 --> 00:00:23,760
you're seeing your friends and

8
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:25,599
a week ago you're in space take me

9
00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:27,760
through a little bit of the rehab so far

10
00:00:32,069 --> 00:00:29,439
like how do you feel right now less than

11
00:00:34,549 --> 00:00:32,079
a week out i feel really good i think

12
00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:34,559
that our bodies are like amazing because

13
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:38,399
getting there to space i had almost zero

14
00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:39,760
adaptation

15
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:41,120
opening the hatch and floating in my

16
00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:42,719
body just knew how to do it and i feel

17
00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:46,239
like it was better coming back this time

18
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:48,719
than last time as well i mean really

19
00:00:53,029 --> 00:00:50,640
little

20
00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:53,039
dizziness or anything like that and so

21
00:00:57,029 --> 00:00:55,120
rehab has been

22
00:00:59,510 --> 00:00:57,039
you know at the gym and we're focusing

23
00:01:02,229 --> 00:00:59,520
on balance and changing direction and

24
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:02,239
that sort of thing but it hasn't been

25
00:01:06,230 --> 00:01:04,159
vomit inducing or anything like that

26
00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:06,240
it's been not so bad i saw the photos of

27
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:08,080
you smiling right after landing it looks

28
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:09,600
like you're just right at home you know

29
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:11,520
i was smiling because i finally got to

30
00:01:16,469 --> 00:01:14,080
stretch my knees out like oh my god my

31
00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:16,479
knees you know you talked about adapting

32
00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:19,439
uh we obviously see videos of you down

33
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:21,119
here in mission control and you just

34
00:01:25,749 --> 00:01:22,880
look like you're completely comfortable

35
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,759
you're really good at moving in zero g

36
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:27,600
in weightlessness does it take three

37
00:01:31,990 --> 00:01:29,920
missions to get that way it doesn't take

38
00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:32,000
three missions but it takes a good chunk

39
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:34,159
of a couple weeks or a month maybe

40
00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:35,280
longer

41
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:37,280
everybody's different but for instance

42
00:01:41,590 --> 00:01:39,200
what i really enjoyed was

43
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:41,600
we got to space anatoly had been there

44
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:43,200
multiple times i'd been there a couple

45
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:45,200
times but yvonne hadn't

46
00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:46,720
and watching him

47
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:48,720
gangle his way through the hatch and the

48
00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:51,360
first couple days kind of move around

49
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:53,840
with extreme uncertainty and

50
00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:55,680
even inside looking for the next place

51
00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:57,119
to put his hand

52
00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:59,360
and then slowly watching his comfort

53
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:01,759
level and man towards halfway through

54
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:03,600
and the rest of the mission he was just

55
00:02:08,469 --> 00:02:06,000
zipping around just like he'd been there

56
00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:08,479
a million years so again your bodies and

57
00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:10,879
your brains just sort of adapt to it and

58
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:13,360
the other thing is you get used to not

59
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:15,840
needing your hands to do stuff and your

60
00:02:19,110 --> 00:02:16,800
feet

61
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:19,120
just start instinctively

62
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:20,400
grabbing

63
00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,640
handrails and handrails but

64
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:24,319
your feet just find it

65
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:26,319
and in fact there was a few times where

66
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:28,640
i needed to move a handrail for some

67
00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:30,640
science reason or payload had to go

68
00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:31,599
there

69
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:33,680
and my foot would naturally swoop in

70
00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:35,120
that location and there would be no

71
00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:36,640
handrail there and i realized well

72
00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:39,280
that's pretty crazy my like without even

73
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:41,120
thinking my foot knew that that's where

74
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:42,720
the handrails should be to grab but it

75
00:02:47,589 --> 00:02:44,720
wasn't there being your third mission

76
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:47,599
did it come back you know a minute in an

77
00:02:52,229 --> 00:02:50,560
hour in minutes minutes minutes yeah

78
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:52,239
like really fast

79
00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:53,200
and

80
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:54,879
when i was a shuttle guy

81
00:03:00,309 --> 00:02:56,800
i came to the space station but my

82
00:03:01,750 --> 00:03:00,319
analogy is like a vacation rental like

83
00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:01,760
you're enjoying the house you're

84
00:03:04,869 --> 00:03:03,519
enjoying the facilities but you don't

85
00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:04,879
care

86
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:05,680
how

87
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:08,000
the vcr and cable wiring is you don't

88
00:03:11,430 --> 00:03:09,599
care how the sprinkler system works you

89
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:11,440
don't care the nuance on the thermostat

90
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:13,120
everything should work and if it doesn't

91
00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:14,800
you call the landlord and say fix this

92
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:17,200
thing that's like a shuttle visiting

93
00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:18,959
person for just two weeks

94
00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:20,720
but my last mission

95
00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:22,640
and again this one now it's not a

96
00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:24,799
vacation rental it's your house and you

97
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,640
care about how the wiring on the tv

98
00:03:30,869 --> 00:03:28,480
system is you care about the sprinkler

99
00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:30,879
system not going on time and you care

100
00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:34,400
about trash day and all those things and

101
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:35,760
it's your home

102
00:03:39,589 --> 00:03:37,680
and you have like this real ownership of

103
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:39,599
it and i remember thinking how cool that

104
00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:40,560
was

105
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:42,959
last time when i got to that point and

106
00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:45,280
this time it was right away because i

107
00:03:49,589 --> 00:03:46,959
only overlapped with drew and jessica

108
00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:49,599
for a week maybe nine days

109
00:03:52,869 --> 00:03:51,280
and then i was on my own but it was no

110
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:52,879
big deal because i had already had that

111
00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:55,040
feeling of of ownership and the space

112
00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:56,879
station had changed but it really hadn't

113
00:04:01,660 --> 00:03:59,200
changed a ton so i felt really quite at

114
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:01,670
home yeah it was a neat feeling
