long duration mission that is not

160
00:24:05,330 --> 00:24:03,539
something that we take lightly we have a

161
00:24:07,370 --> 00:24:05,340
big team of over 100 people working

162
00:24:09,710 --> 00:24:07,380
behind the scenes to make sure that

163
00:24:11,630 --> 00:24:09,720
everything that the uae's part has to do

164
00:24:13,310 --> 00:24:11,640
with this mission is successful as well

165
00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:13,320

00:25:32,390 --> 00:25:30,059
launches I was on so uh it's incredible

195
00:25:34,010 --> 00:25:32,400
to see the excitement growing and uh to

196
00:25:36,110 --> 00:25:34,020
still be a part of all of this

197
00:25:37,490 --> 00:25:36,120
I've had the privilege over the past

198
00:25:40,549 --> 00:25:37,500
couple years of training with an

199
00:25:44,450 --> 00:25:40,559
incredible crew they are just the most

200
00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:44,460
amazing people and it's a

201
00:25:47,810 --> 00:25:46,080
it's just an incredible honor to be here

202
00:25:49,070 --> 00:25:47,820
and we're really looking forward to our

203
00:25:51,649 --> 00:25:49,080
mission it's going to be incredibly

204
00:25:54,409 --> 00:25:51,659
exciting and um

205
00:25:57,110 --> 00:25:54,419
I'm going to pass it on to Woody so he

206
00:25:58,549 --> 00:25:57,120
can introduce himself and

207
00:26:00,470 --> 00:25:58,559
go ahead Woody

208
00:26:02,210 --> 00:26:00,480
all right thanks Steve yeah as Steve

209
00:26:03,950 --> 00:26:02,220
said it's it's super exciting to be here

210
00:26:06,590 --> 00:26:03,960
when my class the turtles showed up at

211
00:26:08,630 --> 00:26:06,600
Nasa a little over five years ago that

212
00:26:10,549 --> 00:26:08,640
was three years before demo two so

213
00:26:11,990 --> 00:26:10,559
thinking about that you know it's

214
00:26:14,510 --> 00:26:12,000
amazing how far we've come in the

215
00:26:16,070 --> 00:26:14,520
commercial crew program we weren't

216
00:26:17,930 --> 00:26:16,080
launching from Florida when I showed up

217
00:26:19,490 --> 00:26:17,940
at Nasa and now here we are on a

218
00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:19,500
beautiful day arriving in Florida we

219
00:26:24,529 --> 00:26:21,600
just flew over our pad and it's just

220
00:26:27,350 --> 00:26:24,539
such an exciting special moment amazing

221
00:26:30,110 --> 00:26:27,360
crew we have an amazing team throughout

222
00:26:32,269 --> 00:26:30,120
NASA and our industry Partners

223
00:26:34,070 --> 00:26:32,279
supporting us and it's just a real honor

224
00:26:36,110 --> 00:26:34,080
to be part of this crew we know we have

225
00:26:39,409 --> 00:26:36,120
a lot of work ahead of us on the ISS and

226
00:26:44,529 --> 00:26:39,419
we are excited and ready to get to work

227
00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:46,190
again

228
00:26:50,890 --> 00:26:47,760
um it's it's a great honor to be here

229
00:26:53,090 --> 00:26:50,900
today uh it's actually

230
00:26:55,909 --> 00:26:53,100
a privilege

231
00:26:58,730 --> 00:26:55,919
um and as Solomon mentioned that this is

232
00:27:01,909 --> 00:26:58,740
going to be a second mission to the UAE

233
00:27:04,070 --> 00:27:01,919
but the first long duration and it's

234
00:27:06,169 --> 00:27:04,080
hard to believe that this is really

235
00:27:09,470 --> 00:27:06,179
happening and we only realize that when

236
00:27:12,529 --> 00:27:09,480
we fly by the the launch pad and we saw

237
00:27:16,669 --> 00:27:12,539
the preparation going it's it's it's

238
00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:16,679
becoming to to to be real so we can't

239
00:27:21,289 --> 00:27:18,720
thank enough everybody that helped and

240
00:27:24,710 --> 00:27:21,299
preparing us for this Mission we thank

241
00:27:27,649 --> 00:27:24,720
our families our trainers throughout the

242
00:27:30,830 --> 00:27:27,659
agencies and uh

243
00:27:35,210 --> 00:27:30,840
um I thank my my colleague my teams I

244
00:27:39,289 --> 00:27:35,220
think we have a great team I can't thank

245
00:27:41,210 --> 00:27:39,299
for uh I mean I can't ask for more of a

246
00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:41,220
team I think we are ready physically

247
00:27:46,610 --> 00:27:44,340
mentally and technically and and we

248
00:27:53,149 --> 00:27:46,620
can't wait to uh to launch the space and

249
00:27:53,159 --> 00:28:04,330
foreign

250
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:08,630

first long duration flight

first UAE astronaut who's going to spend

273
00:30:04,850 --> 00:30:01,679
so much time in space

274
00:30:08,330 --> 00:30:04,860
um what customers are Traditions from

275
00:30:11,330 --> 00:30:08,340
your Homeland do you expect to observe

00:30:13,190 --> 00:30:11,340
in orbit and any special things from

277
00:30:15,889 --> 00:30:13,200
your country that you're taking thank

278
00:30:23,330 --> 00:30:20,029
okay it's just yet to be announced or

279
00:30:26,450 --> 00:30:23,340
maybe shown I can't play all my cards at

280
00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:26,460
one time but definitely we have a lot of

281
00:30:31,549 --> 00:30:29,760
uh stuff going on I want to share uh

282
00:30:33,710 --> 00:30:31,559
probably some of the immorality food

283
00:30:38,330 --> 00:30:33,720
that we have on board

284
00:30:41,090 --> 00:30:38,340
um I'm a Jujitsu practitioner I trained

285
00:30:43,730 --> 00:30:41,100
doing Jiu Jitsu so I have a kimono that

286
00:30:46,730 --> 00:30:43,740
I'm gonna wear on board and probably do

287
00:30:49,970 --> 00:30:46,740
some moves but overall I think we share

288
00:30:52,370 --> 00:30:49,980
the same goal we all trained to go and

289
00:30:54,529 --> 00:30:52,380
conduct science we all we want to share

290
00:30:56,590 --> 00:30:54,539
this experience with everybody I mean

291
00:30:59,450 --> 00:30:56,600
spreading the enthusiasm with everybody

292
00:31:01,789 --> 00:30:59,460
uh share the knowledge that we

293
00:31:06,289 --> 00:31:01,799
experience on board the station it's the

294
00:31:10,850 --> 00:31:08,930
welcome to Florida I'm Gene Wright from

295
00:31:13,130 --> 00:31:10,860
space up close and my question is for

296
00:31:16,070 --> 00:31:13,140
Commander Bowen go Bruins

297
00:31:17,810 --> 00:31:16,080
anyway as a former Submariner wife and

298
00:31:20,330 --> 00:31:17,820
you being the first submarine officer

299
00:31:22,430 --> 00:31:20,340
that was selected as an ascan

300
00:31:23,630 --> 00:31:22,440
we both know the unique challenges in

301
00:31:25,730 --> 00:31:23,640
the small quarters that are on

302
00:31:27,710 --> 00:31:25,740
submarines and and with your all rookie

303
00:31:29,149 --> 00:31:27,720
crew I was curious if you had any tips

304
00:31:31,430 --> 00:31:29,159
or pointers how you survived being on

305
00:31:33,889 --> 00:31:31,440
submarines and plus being in a small

306
00:31:35,570 --> 00:31:33,899
capsule did you order have any tips for

307
00:31:37,130 --> 00:31:35,580
them to survive being in such small

308
00:31:40,549 --> 00:31:37,140
quarters thank you

309
00:31:41,930 --> 00:31:40,559
uh and you know it's interesting when I

310
00:31:44,269 --> 00:31:41,940
first got to the space station on my

311
00:31:46,850 --> 00:31:44,279
first flight it very much reminded me of

312
00:31:49,549 --> 00:31:46,860
a submarine which uh the Close Quarters

313
00:31:51,889 --> 00:31:49,559
even the odor and not necessarily a good

314
00:31:54,769 --> 00:31:51,899
thing was very submarine like uh and

315
00:31:57,350 --> 00:31:54,779
looking at what we're about to do uh one

316
00:31:59,570 --> 00:31:57,360
of the big concerns that we have or I

317
00:32:01,430 --> 00:31:59,580
have uh with the capsule itself is

318
00:32:04,549 --> 00:32:01,440
making it stowed for seed you know

319
00:32:06,649 --> 00:32:04,559
keeping your vehicle uh cleaned up ready

320
00:32:08,870 --> 00:32:06,659
to operate at all times you don't have

321
00:32:11,870 --> 00:32:08,880
extra stuff floating around so those

322
00:32:14,149 --> 00:32:11,880
skills we learn uh obviously on a

323
00:32:16,370 --> 00:32:14,159
submarine but also we trained that at

324
00:32:19,789 --> 00:32:16,380
Nasa so I think over the years it's been

325
00:32:21,590 --> 00:32:19,799
really interesting to watch and see how

326
00:32:23,630 --> 00:32:21,600
they develop skills for people that

327
00:32:25,730 --> 00:32:23,640
don't necessarily bring them with them

328
00:32:27,769 --> 00:32:25,740
they train them so I feel highly

329
00:32:29,090 --> 00:32:27,779
confident and if they have any questions

330
00:32:31,789 --> 00:32:29,100
I'm sure they'll ask and I'll make up

331
00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:31,799
some answer for them but it's a it's

332
00:32:40,909 --> 00:32:38,510
thank you uh Scott Hadler wished to NBC

333
00:32:41,510 --> 00:32:40,919
Orlando again for Commander Bowen

334
00:32:44,149 --> 00:32:41,520
um

335
00:32:45,950 --> 00:32:44,159
Earthly politics how do you is there a

336
00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:45,960
conscious effort throughout the training

337
00:32:50,510 --> 00:32:48,000
the years of training

338
00:32:52,310 --> 00:32:50,520
um to keep that out of the mix is that

339
00:32:53,990 --> 00:32:52,320
are the rules are there guidelines or is

340
00:32:56,029 --> 00:32:54,000
it just kind of a natural part of the

341
00:32:58,549 --> 00:32:56,039
workflow in the camaraderie you know

342
00:32:59,930 --> 00:32:58,559
we're all professionals and uh you kind

343
00:33:01,669 --> 00:32:59,940
of you focus on what you're doing you

344
00:33:03,230 --> 00:33:01,679
focus on your training you know it's

345
00:33:06,110 --> 00:33:03,240
like almost any other environment I've

346
00:33:07,850 --> 00:33:06,120
ever been up it's rare that these issues

347
00:33:10,850 --> 00:33:07,860
come up in natural conversation it's

348
00:33:12,529 --> 00:33:10,860
weird if they do anywhere so uh you know

349
00:33:14,330 --> 00:33:12,539
our professionalism and we keep focused

350
00:33:16,730 --> 00:33:14,340
on the mission itself and that's

351
00:33:18,289 --> 00:33:16,740
uh it's always been a great relationship

352
00:33:20,269 --> 00:33:18,299
we've had with cosmonauts once we get to

353
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:20,279
space and so you know we're all in the

354
00:33:23,990 --> 00:33:22,260
same vehicle we're all operating the

355
00:33:26,990 --> 00:33:24,000
same way working toward the same goals

356
00:33:30,049 --> 00:33:27,000
and uh you know it's been amazing to

357
00:33:34,190 --> 00:33:32,210
hi server from the national uh my

358
00:33:35,870 --> 00:33:34,200
question is for Stephen Bowen if you

359
00:33:37,970 --> 00:33:35,880
could talk about what it's been like

360
00:33:39,830 --> 00:33:37,980
training with Sultan al-niadi being from

361
00:33:41,750 --> 00:33:39,840
different cultures what did you learn

362
00:33:42,830 --> 00:33:41,760
from him and each other and how do you

363
00:33:44,750 --> 00:33:42,840
think that's going to sort of translate

364
00:33:46,250 --> 00:33:44,760
on the ISS

365
00:33:48,230 --> 00:33:46,260
um and my second question is for Dr

366
00:33:49,909 --> 00:33:48,240
al-nayadi if you could talk about how

367
00:33:51,649 --> 00:33:49,919
you're feeling but maybe in speaking

368
00:33:53,810 --> 00:33:51,659
Arabic just for our Middle East viewers

369
00:33:57,169 --> 00:33:53,820
thank you

370
00:33:58,909 --> 00:33:57,179
now actually it's uh I met Sultan and

371
00:34:02,630 --> 00:33:58,919
huzzah back in Star City when I was

372
00:34:06,110 --> 00:34:02,640
training for a soyuz launch in 2018 not

373
00:34:07,130 --> 00:34:06,120
when we crossed past about 2018. so uh I

374
00:34:09,409 --> 00:34:07,140
had already met them and I've always

375
00:34:11,990 --> 00:34:09,419
been impressed uh

376
00:34:13,669 --> 00:34:12,000
with the individuals and then the

377
00:34:16,070 --> 00:34:13,679
culture they bring to it as well I'm

378
00:34:17,450 --> 00:34:16,080
incredibly excited to to learn new

379
00:34:18,649 --> 00:34:17,460
cultures as I you know when I first

380
00:34:21,349 --> 00:34:18,659
started trading with the Russians 20

381
00:34:24,409 --> 00:34:21,359
years ago it's just exciting to me to

382
00:34:27,169 --> 00:34:24,419
see that and see what people bring uh to

383
00:34:30,290 --> 00:34:27,179
the conversations and uh looking forward

384
00:34:32,629 --> 00:34:30,300
to operating with Sultan on orbit and

385
00:34:34,730 --> 00:34:32,639
having the opportunity to experience

386
00:34:36,470 --> 00:34:34,740
actually through everybody's eyes that's

387
00:34:41,869 --> 00:34:36,480
it's just so cool to watch people on

388
00:34:46,369 --> 00:34:44,869
so uh I'm gonna speak in Arabic I'm not

389
00:34:48,770 --> 00:34:46,379
going to play a joke with our

390
00:34:50,210 --> 00:34:48,780
interpreter one time I spoke in Arabic

391
00:34:54,050 --> 00:34:50,220
and I looked at the Russian interpreter

392
00:35:11,750 --> 00:34:54,060
and they were confused so I'll play both

393
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:41,870
[Music]

394
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:54,829
foreign

395
00:35:59,630 --> 00:35:57,530
so uh I just saying exactly what I said

396
00:36:02,329 --> 00:35:59,640
in English we're really happy to be here

397
00:36:06,710 --> 00:36:02,339
today in this historic place the place

398
00:36:08,630 --> 00:36:06,720
where uh the first man uh who landed on

399
00:36:10,970 --> 00:36:08,640
the moon was was flown from from this

400
00:36:14,690 --> 00:36:10,980
place it's a great honor a great

401
00:36:17,150 --> 00:36:14,700
privilege and after the very successful

402
00:36:19,550 --> 00:36:17,160
mission of the the first UA mission to

403
00:36:23,450 --> 00:36:19,560
the International Space Station 2019

404
00:36:26,450 --> 00:36:23,460
when my colleague hazal masuri flew uh

405
00:36:30,890 --> 00:36:26,460
everybody uh was happy everybody was

406
00:36:33,589 --> 00:36:30,900
excited we felt a boost in the space

407
00:36:36,050 --> 00:36:33,599
enthusiasm all over the the region

408
00:36:38,390 --> 00:36:36,060
specifically in the UAE so this mission

409
00:36:40,010 --> 00:36:38,400
is a continuation

410
00:36:43,370 --> 00:36:40,020
um this time it's going to be six months

411
00:36:46,730 --> 00:36:43,380
we hope to uh conduct the mission with

412
00:36:49,849 --> 00:36:46,740
the this awesome crew and come back with

413
00:36:56,630 --> 00:36:49,859
the uh the the aims or the goals that

414
00:37:01,250 --> 00:36:59,150
is he Spaceport

415
00:37:03,109 --> 00:37:01,260
a little bit of what you said but um we

416
00:37:05,210 --> 00:37:03,119
do understand that you are grateful for

417
00:37:06,829 --> 00:37:05,220
being here and this is a historic

418
00:37:09,230 --> 00:37:06,839
mission for you all

419
00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:09,240
um we do have about

420
00:37:13,730 --> 00:37:12,240
about 10 more minutes uh left for Q a if

421
00:37:15,530 --> 00:37:13,740
you still have questions for the crew

422
00:37:16,790 --> 00:37:15,540
please step up to the mic on your right

423
00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:16,800
hand side

424
00:37:20,089 --> 00:37:18,240
um and you can go ahead and ask your

425
00:37:22,730 --> 00:37:20,099
question Marcia done AP again for Dr

426
00:37:26,630 --> 00:37:22,740
aniadi um during your mission you will

427
00:37:29,210 --> 00:37:26,640
have two Saudi astronauts joining you

428
00:37:31,250 --> 00:37:29,220
um with the Axiom crew you know that'll

429
00:37:33,410 --> 00:37:31,260
be the three of three from the Arab

430
00:37:35,450 --> 00:37:33,420
world on board at one time how exciting

431
00:37:37,010 --> 00:37:35,460
important is that for you and could you

432
00:37:40,510 --> 00:37:37,020
give a little quick rundown on your

433
00:37:43,190 --> 00:37:40,520
emirati menu in space thank you

434
00:37:45,650 --> 00:37:43,200
well uh I think it's going to be uh

435
00:37:48,109 --> 00:37:45,660
really exciting really interesting uh

436
00:37:51,650 --> 00:37:48,119
the first Arab astronaut ever was a

437
00:37:54,109 --> 00:37:51,660
prince Sultana Salman he flew in 85 and

438
00:37:56,410 --> 00:37:54,119
then he was followed by a Assyrian

439
00:38:00,170 --> 00:37:56,420
astronaut in uh

440
00:38:02,089 --> 00:38:00,180
87 I believe uh Hazard was at the the

441
00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:02,099
third I'm gonna be the fourth and then

442
00:38:06,950 --> 00:38:05,040
having two additional guys meeting in

443
00:38:08,870 --> 00:38:06,960
space for for the first time I think

444
00:38:10,970 --> 00:38:08,880
it's going to be really interesting

445
00:38:14,150 --> 00:38:10,980
um again it's it's a for the sake of

446
00:38:16,910 --> 00:38:14,160
science for the sake of uh spreading the

447
00:38:20,510 --> 00:38:16,920
knowledge about how important is to fly

448
00:38:23,390 --> 00:38:20,520
and uh to push the boundaries of

449
00:38:26,150 --> 00:38:23,400
exploration not only in the leading

450
00:38:29,530 --> 00:38:26,160
countries our region is also thirsty to

451
00:38:31,910 --> 00:38:29,540
learn more and I think we will be uh

452
00:38:34,630 --> 00:38:31,920
ambassadors in these missions hopefully

453
00:38:37,010 --> 00:38:34,640
we can come back with knowledge and

454
00:38:39,170 --> 00:38:37,020
share whatever we learn with everybody

455
00:38:42,170 --> 00:38:39,180
and in terms of the food I can only

456
00:38:44,089 --> 00:38:42,180
probably say dates I love dates I'm

457
00:38:47,210 --> 00:38:44,099
gonna take dates and hopefully I'm gonna

458
00:38:49,790 --> 00:38:47,220
share uh days with everybody especially

459
00:38:51,890 --> 00:38:49,800
in Ramadan this is a request from the

460
00:38:55,190 --> 00:38:51,900
commander and I cannot say no to my

461
00:38:59,870 --> 00:38:57,530
hi Ken Kramer space up close following

462
00:39:01,430 --> 00:38:59,880
on that uh good luck I'm a scientist so

463
00:39:04,010 --> 00:39:01,440
I'd like to ask each of you could you

464
00:39:05,569 --> 00:39:04,020
please describe uh your top science one

465
00:39:07,430 --> 00:39:05,579
or two science experiments you're gonna

466
00:39:16,370 --> 00:39:07,440
you're gonna be doing on the ISS over

467
00:39:20,990 --> 00:39:18,349
I'll start with the easy ones which are

468
00:39:23,450 --> 00:39:21,000
the ones we're the subjects of

469
00:39:25,910 --> 00:39:23,460
um you know uh part of being an

470
00:39:28,190 --> 00:39:25,920
astronaut it's you know it's awesome to

471
00:39:30,650 --> 00:39:28,200
fly in space it's awesome to be a part

472
00:39:33,530 --> 00:39:30,660
of the research and the science but

473
00:39:37,609 --> 00:39:33,540
we're also the subjects as well and so

474
00:39:39,530 --> 00:39:37,619
having that opportunity to to contribute

475
00:39:42,349 --> 00:39:39,540
you know what what we learn about

476
00:39:43,550 --> 00:39:42,359
ourselves uh on orbit is really the most

477
00:39:46,190 --> 00:39:43,560
exciting something I think he tried to

478
00:39:48,290 --> 00:39:46,200
volunteer for every one of the projects

479
00:39:49,370 --> 00:39:48,300
that we could uh they went back and they

480
00:39:53,569 --> 00:39:49,380
filtered out and they figured out what

481
00:39:55,550 --> 00:39:53,579
you can do in orbit so I've got uh

482
00:39:57,950 --> 00:39:55,560
can't even remember how to all of them

483
00:40:01,089 --> 00:39:57,960
but there's diet

484
00:40:03,890 --> 00:40:01,099
studies there's uh blood studies there's

485
00:40:05,510 --> 00:40:03,900
just an amazing number of genetic

486
00:40:07,310 --> 00:40:05,520
studies so that's that's the exciting

487
00:40:11,329 --> 00:40:07,320
part just being the subject and being

488
00:40:15,589 --> 00:40:13,609
as Steve said it's fun to be a subject

489
00:40:17,510 --> 00:40:15,599
in the scientific studies ourselves I'll

490
00:40:19,190 --> 00:40:17,520
be eating a modified diet

491
00:40:21,950 --> 00:40:19,200
um I'll be eating more fish than usual

492
00:40:24,710 --> 00:40:21,960
and some extra lycopene and doing some

493
00:40:27,050 --> 00:40:24,720
research on diet in space aside from

494
00:40:28,790 --> 00:40:27,060
that like Steve said we are involved in

495
00:40:31,730 --> 00:40:28,800
hundreds of scientific research studies

496
00:40:33,950 --> 00:40:31,740
at any given time one that's that I'm

497
00:40:36,349 --> 00:40:33,960
pretty excited about is we may late in

498
00:40:39,349 --> 00:40:36,359
our mission potentially if we go outside

499
00:40:41,450 --> 00:40:39,359
Eva we may actually do some sampling on

500
00:40:44,270 --> 00:40:41,460
the outside of the space station and

501
00:40:47,030 --> 00:40:44,280
start trying to characterize the like

502
00:40:48,470 --> 00:40:47,040
microbi any biologic samples that are

503
00:40:50,870 --> 00:40:48,480
that exist outside the space station

504
00:40:53,210 --> 00:40:50,880
that is relevant to our planetary

505
00:40:54,950 --> 00:40:53,220
protection mission that at Nasa we take

506
00:40:57,290 --> 00:40:54,960
very seriously as we think forward to

507
00:41:00,950 --> 00:40:57,300
exploration so just as we've been doing

508
00:41:03,470 --> 00:41:00,960
for over 20 years now using the ISS as a

509
00:41:09,890 --> 00:41:03,480
platform to inform the engineering and

510
00:41:15,829 --> 00:41:13,190
so uh during our uh preparation but the

511
00:41:18,410 --> 00:41:15,839
mission we get to train on uh Cutting

512
00:41:21,470 --> 00:41:18,420
Edge Technologies we are all trained to

513
00:41:23,870 --> 00:41:21,480
uh conduct a lot of Science and will be

514
00:41:26,510 --> 00:41:23,880
the hands the eyes the ears of of the

515
00:41:29,510 --> 00:41:26,520
scientists who are working uh for years

516
00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:29,520
for a specific uh experiment some of the

517
00:41:33,710 --> 00:41:31,040
experiments are

518
00:41:36,530 --> 00:41:33,720
ongoing some of them are ending soon and

519
00:41:38,750 --> 00:41:36,540
some of them are just starting so one

520
00:41:41,150 --> 00:41:38,760
very interesting uh experiment that I'm

521
00:41:44,690 --> 00:41:41,160
looking really to see is seeing the

522
00:41:46,790 --> 00:41:44,700
heart tissue beating in in space so this

523
00:41:50,270 --> 00:41:46,800
is something uh like a Cutting Edge

524
00:41:53,230 --> 00:41:50,280
technology that one day we can when we

525
00:41:56,510 --> 00:41:53,240
start 3D printing

526
00:41:58,370 --> 00:41:56,520
organs this is really important to see

527
00:42:00,650 --> 00:41:58,380
how the structure is built in

528
00:42:04,310 --> 00:42:00,660
microgravity so this can give us a

529
00:42:06,530 --> 00:42:04,320
really good Insight how these uh tissues

530
00:42:09,050 --> 00:42:06,540
are built so one of them is testing

531
00:42:10,870 --> 00:42:09,060
heart tissues we have a lot of Material

532
00:42:13,310 --> 00:42:10,880
Science as well we're going to test

533
00:42:16,010 --> 00:42:13,320
fluidics we're going to test the

534
00:42:18,650 --> 00:42:16,020
materials and how they burn in space and

535
00:42:21,770 --> 00:42:18,660
this is for the future missions when we

536
00:42:23,870 --> 00:42:21,780
go into the lunar service again or going

537
00:42:25,970 --> 00:42:23,880
into another planet so we need to test

538
00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:25,980
materials and how they react in

539
00:42:31,010 --> 00:42:28,800
microgravity and different atmospheres

540
00:42:32,990 --> 00:42:31,020
let's say on on Mars for example so a

541
00:42:34,370 --> 00:42:33,000
lot of the excitement I'm really excited

542
00:42:37,190 --> 00:42:34,380
to conduct a lot of Science and

543
00:42:44,089 --> 00:42:37,200
communicate what whatever we have back

544
00:42:44,099 --> 00:42:48,890
uh

545
00:42:48,900 --> 00:43:14,540
um

546
00:43:19,010 --> 00:43:17,690
[Music]

547
00:43:33,109 --> 00:43:19,020
uh

548
00:43:36,410 --> 00:43:33,119
the Russian segment and we also have

549
00:43:38,870 --> 00:43:36,420
joint experiments and as I have already

550
00:43:41,569 --> 00:43:38,880
mentioned we have more or less uh the

551
00:43:43,730 --> 00:43:41,579
same scientific program and the

552
00:43:46,790 --> 00:43:43,740
experiments that we conduct on the

553
00:43:50,510 --> 00:43:46,800
Russian segment could be divided into

554
00:43:52,730 --> 00:43:50,520
several groups basically we study how

555
00:43:54,829 --> 00:43:52,740
the space environment affects human

556
00:43:59,150 --> 00:43:54,839
beings how it affects different

557
00:44:03,829 --> 00:43:59,160
materials in space and also we do earth

558
00:44:08,270 --> 00:44:03,839
studies and studies of the space itself

559
00:44:12,710 --> 00:44:08,280
and this is more or less it

560
00:44:16,970 --> 00:44:14,750
alrighty we have time for about one more

561
00:44:19,910 --> 00:44:16,980
question you can step up and ask the

562
00:44:20,690 --> 00:44:19,920
final question Scott heidler West 2 NBC

563
00:44:22,309 --> 00:44:20,700
Orlando

564
00:44:24,770 --> 00:44:22,319
um for pilot Hobart

565
00:44:26,210 --> 00:44:24,780
um now that we're seeing the the seventh

566
00:44:28,790 --> 00:44:26,220
Drew

567
00:44:30,470 --> 00:44:28,800
um Dragon crew capsule being used the

568
00:44:31,490 --> 00:44:30,480
seventh time I should say do you get

569
00:44:33,109 --> 00:44:31,500
briefing notes or do you have

570
00:44:36,770 --> 00:44:33,119
conversations with the previous pilots

571
00:44:38,150 --> 00:44:36,780
and is that specific to each capsule or

572
00:44:39,890 --> 00:44:38,160
is that kind of General how they

573
00:44:41,569 --> 00:44:39,900
maneuver in other words like I would

574
00:44:43,069 --> 00:44:41,579
imagine that Pilots for airplanes they

575
00:44:44,750 --> 00:44:43,079
talk about this certain aircraft versus

576
00:44:47,150 --> 00:44:44,760
that certain aircraft

577
00:44:49,670 --> 00:44:47,160
yeah absolutely um that's been one of

578
00:44:53,510 --> 00:44:49,680
the coolest parts of all our training

579
00:44:55,370 --> 00:44:53,520
um we actually our capsule Endeavor this

580
00:44:57,410 --> 00:44:55,380
will be the fourth crude flight of

581
00:44:59,990 --> 00:44:57,420
endeavor so Endeavor flew on demo two

582
00:45:02,270 --> 00:45:00,000
flew on Crew 2 the Axiom One mission and

583
00:45:03,950 --> 00:45:02,280
then will be the fourth crude flight but

584
00:45:05,809 --> 00:45:03,960
to get to your question

585
00:45:07,609 --> 00:45:05,819
um we have a chance to talk with

586
00:45:08,930 --> 00:45:07,619
previous Crews that have flown dragon

587
00:45:10,630 --> 00:45:08,940
and it doesn't really matter which

588
00:45:14,270 --> 00:45:10,640
capsule we flew on they're all

589
00:45:15,950 --> 00:45:14,280
operationally quite similar and I think

590
00:45:17,690 --> 00:45:15,960
it's really interesting because you know

591
00:45:19,730 --> 00:45:17,700
within the crew we come up with our own

592
00:45:21,890 --> 00:45:19,740
what we call crms crew resource

593
00:45:24,589 --> 00:45:21,900
management and kind of figure out what

594
00:45:26,349 --> 00:45:24,599
works for us as a crew and that's you

595
00:45:28,849 --> 00:45:26,359
know myself and Steve but then also

596
00:45:31,550 --> 00:45:28,859
Sultan and Andre are a huge part of that

597
00:45:34,849 --> 00:45:31,560
so when we train for example emergencies

598
00:45:37,250 --> 00:45:34,859
out at Hawthorne the whole crew all four

599
00:45:38,750 --> 00:45:37,260
of us come together to organize the

600
00:45:40,130 --> 00:45:38,760
capsule and for example if we're

601
00:45:43,010 --> 00:45:40,140
training for something like an emergency

602
00:45:45,530 --> 00:45:43,020
deorbit everybody has a really big part

603
00:45:47,270 --> 00:45:45,540
role in pulling that together each crew

604
00:45:49,190 --> 00:45:47,280
is slightly different in how we choose

605
00:45:51,230 --> 00:45:49,200
to manage that but the conversations

606
00:45:53,270 --> 00:45:51,240
with previous NASA Crews have been

607
00:45:54,950 --> 00:45:53,280
really informative for helping to

608
00:45:59,329 --> 00:45:54,960
establish that CRM and figure out what

609
00:46:03,589 --> 00:46:01,069
thank you and that's going to conclude

610
00:46:05,329 --> 00:46:03,599
the Q a portion for media I will tell

611
00:46:07,010 --> 00:46:05,339
the crew I want you guys to stick around

612
00:46:08,750 --> 00:46:07,020
for a photo op after this and I'm going

613
00:46:10,370 --> 00:46:08,760
to turn it back over to the deputy

614
00:46:16,430 --> 00:46:10,380
director of the Kennedy Space Center Uh

615
00:46:22,370 --> 00:46:19,130

616
00:46:25,790 --> 00:46:22,380

618
00:46:29,690 --> 00:46:27,900
