1
00:02:00,800 --> 00:01:42,940
you

2
00:02:05,410 --> 00:02:00,810
for that great wakeup music I happen to

3
00:02:09,740 --> 00:02:07,670
good morning Katie thank you very much

4
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:09,750
pleasure to be with you here thanks so

5
00:02:13,610 --> 00:02:11,310
much for joining us this is really a

6
00:02:16,090 --> 00:02:13,620
thrill doctor you of course have

7
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:16,100
been in space rather than another

8
00:02:25,550 --> 00:02:23,180
physically I feel fine I think

9
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:25,560
emotionally and psychologically I'm

10
00:02:29,290 --> 00:02:27,510
probably ready to go home but over all

11
00:02:33,530 --> 00:02:29,300
right today we all fared pretty well

12
00:02:35,630 --> 00:02:33,540
we're all healthy and now it's just a

13
00:02:39,050 --> 00:02:35,640
question to get back and get back into a

14
00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:39,060
our usual earthbound routine I'd like to

15
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:40,560
talk with you about the staggered a

16
00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:42,570
little bit about the emotional and

17
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:45,540
psychological effects are being in space

18
00:02:50,270 --> 00:02:48,239
and of this entire mission you've talked

19
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:50,280
a little bit about cultural isolation

20
00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:53,010
you say that physiologically you're fine

21
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:55,650
but the cultural isolation was a little

22
00:03:02,960 --> 00:02:57,810
tough to deal with can you explain that

23
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:02,970
to us well actually I would say and I

24
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:04,530
think I can honestly say I had no

25
00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:06,780
serious difficulties I worry really more

26
00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:08,910
about longer flights I knew going in and

27
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:10,800
I've said this before I can do anything

28
00:03:15,410 --> 00:03:13,110
for three months and that was exactly

29
00:03:17,090 --> 00:03:15,420
the case and on board we got along fine

30
00:03:19,790 --> 00:03:17,100
and we're great friends now and probably

31
00:03:22,009 --> 00:03:19,800
will be for the rest of our lives still

32
00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:22,019
in all year long American on a Russian

33
00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:24,239
spacecraft no one else really speaks

34
00:03:28,130 --> 00:03:26,070
English and there were times when I went

35
00:03:30,590 --> 00:03:28,140
days without talking to our folks in the

36
00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:30,600
Mission Control Center in Moscow all of

37
00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:32,070
which adds up to a fair amount of

38
00:03:38,090 --> 00:03:34,470
isolation three months was no problem I

39
00:03:41,660 --> 00:03:38,100
i I'm probably as crazy as I was but no

40
00:03:44,270 --> 00:03:41,670
more so now than when I before I flew

41
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:44,280
and I was our big problem for me but

42
00:03:48,890 --> 00:03:45,930
it's something we'll have to look at for

43
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:48,900
longer flights Josiah how is being in

44
00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:51,090
space with Russians how does it compare

45
00:03:55,550 --> 00:03:53,190
to being in space with American

46
00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:55,560
in terms of how they do business up

47
00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:00,720
there as you might expect because it's

48
00:04:05,510 --> 00:04:03,420
the same business and they're really not

49
00:04:07,430 --> 00:04:05,520
very many good ways to do it the

50
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:07,440
similarities are more striking than the

51
00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:11,010
differences the fact that they were were

52
00:04:17,509 --> 00:04:14,640
Russians did didn't seem to play a large

53
00:04:19,940 --> 00:04:17,519
role in what I saw going on and I'll say

54
00:04:21,860 --> 00:04:19,950
again there were really no problems from

55
00:04:23,750 --> 00:04:21,870
a crew in a relation standpoint all that

56
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:23,760
work probably even better than most of

57
00:04:29,660 --> 00:04:26,370
us expected but the American who will be

58
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:29,670
one person with two Russians and dealing

59
00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:32,130
with a mission control center in which

60
00:04:37,580 --> 00:04:34,800
everyone speaks Russian will add up to a

61
00:04:40,370 --> 00:04:37,590
fair amount of isolation commander

62
00:04:43,730 --> 00:04:40,380
Gibson hoot I just like to say that name

63
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:43,740
who'd tell me why you think this mission

64
00:04:52,820 --> 00:04:46,770
was so crucial to the United States

65
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:52,830
space program locatie if we're serious

66
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:54,930
about doing an international space

67
00:05:00,350 --> 00:04:56,370
station and building an international

68
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:00,360
space station and we are this flight is

69
00:05:05,390 --> 00:05:03,690
a carbon copy of what we're going to be

70
00:05:07,060 --> 00:05:05,400
doing with the International Space

71
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:07,070
Station we're going to have

72
00:05:12,170 --> 00:05:10,110
multinational cruise we're going to fly

73
00:05:14,210 --> 00:05:12,180
the sort of maneuvers with space shuttle

74
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:14,220
that we flew for the first time on this

75
00:05:18,950 --> 00:05:17,010
mission we're going to be transferring

76
00:05:21,290 --> 00:05:18,960
equipment we're going to be transferring

77
00:05:23,180 --> 00:05:21,300
people in short we're going to be doing

78
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:23,190
all the sorts of things that we did on

79
00:05:29,180 --> 00:05:26,160
sds 71 with international space station

80
00:05:31,190 --> 00:05:29,190
and so this has been a real proving

81
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:31,200
ground for us and it was something that

82
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:34,260
we needed to do correctly and and I

83
00:05:39,230 --> 00:05:36,530
believe we haven't and I hope we have

84
00:05:41,390 --> 00:05:39,240
sorry now that the clinical part of your

85
00:05:43,940 --> 00:05:41,400
mission is over but will you all be

86
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:43,950
doing on the way home is Right seen what

87
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:46,710
kind of things will you be busy getting

88
00:05:57,230 --> 00:05:54,350
ok we have been running pretty fast and

89
00:05:59,810 --> 00:05:57,240
hard for the last how many days has it

90
00:06:01,010 --> 00:05:59,820
been down further for the last stage of

91
00:06:03,650 --> 00:06:01,020
the mission that the whole time that

92
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:03,660
we've been up here and we've had very

93
00:06:06,770 --> 00:06:05,310
little time to look out the window hours

94
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:06,780
observation folks are going to be

95
00:06:09,950 --> 00:06:08,370
unhappy with us because we haven't shot

96
00:06:11,390 --> 00:06:09,960
very many pictures of the earth just

97
00:06:13,010 --> 00:06:11,400
because we've been running so hard to

98
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:13,020
get all the things done that we had to

99
00:06:19,010 --> 00:06:16,170
do and that we want it to get done we

100
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:19,020
are going to be continuing with with

101
00:06:24,860 --> 00:06:22,170
medical data getting situation medical

102
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:24,870
data on on our test subjects which are

103
00:06:29,330 --> 00:06:27,930
the mere 18 crew and and getting the

104
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:29,340
orbiter generally ready to come back

105
00:06:32,570 --> 00:06:31,110
home we do have a little bit more

106
00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:32,580
breathing room in the next couple of

107
00:06:36,770 --> 00:06:34,080
days to get everything ready to come

108
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:36,780
back so that's the first thing you're

109
00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:38,370
going to do when they just that space

110
00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:46,710
suit and get back on on earth try to do

111
00:06:51,140 --> 00:06:49,440
is stand up if I'm able to head then

112
00:06:52,910 --> 00:06:51,150
after that I hope my family will be

113
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:52,920
there and I'd like to give out of my

114
00:06:57,050 --> 00:06:55,050

00:07:17,630 --> 00:07:15,419
Experimental Aircraft Association which

120
00:07:20,510 --> 00:07:17,640
is an outfit out of Oshkosh Wisconsin

121
00:07:23,690 --> 00:07:20,520
and before we launched couple of us are

122
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:23,700
already were members and lake before we

123
00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:25,440
wash all of the whole entire crew became

124
00:07:30,770 --> 00:07:28,160
ever so that's kind of our group I guess

125
00:07:32,780 --> 00:07:30,780
where that's the kind of that money

126
00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:32,790
can't buy gentlemen thank you so much

173
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:41,680
help we're complete with 16 and we'll

174
00:10:49,050 --> 00:10:46,410
get started on kpa up we've got 24

175
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:49,060
pictures to set down to you in the first

176
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:50,529
batch and then we'll have some more

177
00:10:55,759 --> 00:10:53,649
after that as well I was thinking that

178
00:10:58,259 --> 00:10:55,769
if we could get some down like time

179
00:11:00,960 --> 00:10:58,269
earlier in the day that we do is get in

180
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:00,970

181
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:05,050
