another day of your space out of fee
join with me r we're ready to row before
Houston thanks very much for the
inspirational music we sort of feel like
we're a movie up here it's so wonderful
and all ready to go two thousand and one
percent I think you've been running at

Atlantis Houston West lot clearer and
we're two minutes into the test watching
and we'll all get when you're complete
thank you will give you a call

but
thanks Chris
krista xia will be the perfect place
project
we're working it
but again you dear come on Yuri and
Palestine where's Thomas
we're very happy to be with you gonna
put the poker after our line operation
here in Houston and Moscow University
Malaga we've already done a lot in my
opinion if a bit more do you had not
found fee to install the module in the
station of congenital anomaly and
together transferred many kilograms of
cargo now we'd like to officially and
unofficially and personal gifts this is
350 is symbolic plaque of the
International Space Station and of mirin
shuffle there is Blum's of NASA the
Russian space agency esa and canada
like it greatly thank you very much and
thanks to the crew of the shuttle this
is a very beautiful and memorable gift
it will absolutely remind us of our
joint work in our training for this
flight and we will treasure it with
great gratitude
he least I said leave it or both what do
you think we worked on the first phase
the International Space Station as you
see the entire shuttle crew are now
wearing
with football gta5 the football a
footballing emblem what about to leave
me esta and I would like for us while
we're working together who masters of
Sevilla sneak a few to have a joint
uniform so here are you are here the
heart
so here are some some t-shirts for first
phase well these will this phase of the
flight will continue there's a second
and third and onward back to this course
and we on the damn sister oh that our
friendship and cooperation between our
peoples will develop a fruitful rate of
wrong with the unstructured account of
the International Space Station
I the shalini document the official kia
the kia official documentation nasa from
now 75 and the first phase
kure these special plaques have flown
already it's written the crew of mere 18
sts 71 near 20 and so on
and Houston Atlantis will we have a to
tax one in English and one in Russian
commemorating the phase one US Russia
program as like petals and a flower
surrounding the phase one emblem spaces
for the crews of each of these lights
near and shuttle we're participating in
phase one leading to accomplishing all
the objectives that we need in order to
build the International Space Station in
today's do we come pecans
and now isn't as important as official
commemorative gifts between programs
between nations are we also think that
it's very important to mark an occasion
with personal gifts that have
significance for the crews that are
they're actually flying and the crew of
SPS 74 has a presentation item that we
think will be significant for the crews
of mere now and in the future
I am training together we had the
opportunity to both trained officially
and unofficially of socializing and one
of the social events was sitting and
playing guitar together and thinking of
the long time that these gentlemen get
to spend of its space we thought what
might be a useful gift to pass the hours
when there isn't a lot of work to do
with the evenings and on weekends is to
have a guitar to play and so I would
like to present to the fair 20 crew and
all the subsequent crews biscuits are on
behalf of the mere 74 clue
just fortunate that he s my good
daughter watch it this is a very
interesting guitar
Houston is much already know part of the
advantages are part of the environment
we live in it its faces digs around 50 G
fans pumps and mechanical devices that
make trouble acoustic instruments
difficult to appreciate this particular
guitar is designed to operate with
headphones that makes the solo
experience of playing guitar one that
can be enjoyed even in a noisy
environment we hope that the crew mirror
enjoys this and will find that this is a
good memory of the fellowship that
exists between space travelers of all
countries
I think that is really an excellent
instrument to have on board not only the
fear and subtle station but also
something for the future space station
where of course also i hope will be some
time for the cruise tomorrow spend on
spare time and i think in view of this
future when we open now the area of
space music
I would like to say several words in
russian see a part that you can't see on
this screen I'll just turn the guitar a
little this guitar can be folded in half
even as you know station on which we are
working now the international space dock
station and mirror is not the first one
that has been working in orbit and many
things that are on this station were
brought from the other station which was
also operating in space and I'd like to
say that the future station which will
be built in several years and will be
hosting both Russian American German
European another specialist from other
nations that this will also take its
honored place in the musical orchestra
that will be on the future station thank
you very much you all very welcome we'll
be looking forward to a concert soon in
the future and as I'm sure everybody on
the crew and also in Houston is aware
the language is that we all seek from
coming from different countries can
sometimes be a problem we've had learn
to work together and overcome a language
barrier and we feel that one
international language is the language
of music and we hope that when i'll
bring it together does the station
yuriai have one more thing for your crew
not not everyone on the space station or
a space shuttle is musically talented
enough to be able to play a musical
instrument so therefore i bought some
tape music for you to enjoy it's country
music and countries from from tejas and
i think i saw a very large collection of
tapes back in the core module I hope to
kill and add this one to that question
was it but you might expect rightly
approved for the cassette we like
country music and it will remind us of
the time when we were in Houston
training thank you again
what the better get it in yep dear
friends we would like to give you the
crew of SS sts 74 atlantis to give you a
memento of our joint preparation flight

also the emblems we have the flag of the
ESA it's the absolutely latest flag a
metal that was issued by the Russian
space agency I think also regarding the
cooperation of Russia and NASA in space
you
it was it what this is the question
before the video yeah small
identification card for each member of
the crew it's a device that's issued by
the government of the Russia and is
given so that the life would be better
and there would be more order so we took
a few extra these documents and created
these documents for you
here are some lapel pins for you and the
absolutely most important a memory of
our joint work and here are some
radiograms and how we how we should work

nature so the same things in each
package for all members of the group
beauty circuit Yuri and Sarah Gadon
Thomas thank you very much on behalf of
the crew I mean yet the leak and on God
and personally I would like to say
thought that this flight for him
yesterday and today has been like a
dream for me boom oh I never thought
good on as I 23 years ago that it would
be possible to fly to station chef Allah
to dock the shuttle it was it was a
fantasy what I am very grateful to you
and I would also like to thank the gate
not all the people on the ground go
about it who are working stubbly we're
not split apart more to make it possible
for us to have this historic light
you look like thank you very much
but the subjects emotions that was did
something
I'd like to reach you and congratulate
you with a successful conduct of this
complex operation in orbit second for
the second time the American American
spacecraft has joined with the orbital
complex mirror and now mounted a docking
module so that now all future lights
will be able see me up to talk with the
MIR station orbital complex can now be
spoken of as international we are very
pleased to see this assembled crew are
there are present the entire geography
of the world Russia United States Canada
Europe and we anticipate new new crews
I'd like to greet the rookies and ask
how do you feel in orbit all I would
like to send my heartfelt readings to
all the crew members and to congratulate
you all on these successful and very
complicated operations in space this is
the first time that the America us
shuttle Atlantis has done with
affordable mean station and it has
brought a docking module which would be
used for further stockings or five
with a new station the orbital near
station understand the last person the
last question deals with the state of
mind of the rookies up here we would
like to answer this question at first
thank you for your kind comments and we
are in agreement that our station is
true progress for the future for all
peoples as concerns are the way we feel
we feel normal we have prepared we have
conducted a great deal of preparatory

mirror is being continued till februari
96 1996
which is sending my name I certificate
of a very bad year everyone what does
prettiest mother before the senator from
issue 3 Chris will now say something
about his mood here in space
it's true it's my very first flight
estate lucky to be with such an
experienced group of astronauts and I'm
also the first Canadian to have a chance
to come aboard here and the whole thing
is a thrill in an honor as a human being
and as a Canadian to be able to
participate in a mission like this one
thanks very much for allowing me to come
up and do this and we're all working
hard to make sure it's a successful
mission
she
basically your opinion I congratulate
you all with all my heart and wish you a
good flight successful flight both to
professionals who've all professionals
and newcomers who have been in space
John manly I'm talking to you from
Hamilton Roberta Bondar and julie
payette are watching you from the studio
in toronto we wanted to say
congratulations to you and to the rest
of the crew on behalf of all Canadians
who are just thrilled with the success
of the mission so far Julie we're having
a tremendous time up here we getting a
lot of work done and we're just as
pleased as we can be with the success of
all of the experiments and that
installation of the backing module and
the rendezvous an actual docking with
their it's been a marvelous experience
and things are going very well Chris I
watched the launch in florida on sunday
morning Julie was the one of the
spectators there with me I think I
suspect rather that she was even a
little more envious than I was when you
went off but I can tell you that for me
it was a very thrilling experience to
hear the sound and to see the image of
your launch I just like to know what was
going through your mind those seconds
while we were watching you lift off from
the Earth's gravity accessory day the
day before that we couldn't go because
of the weather in Spain and Africa but
I'm not morning on the Sunday morning
you had a sense that it might happen and
when we came to five minutes and we got
good weather everywhere we had a clear
clearance to go to smile on my face just
started getting bigger and bigger and
that continued to grow the whole time
through the launch it was just a
tremendous feeling to do actually doing
something that I dreamed about for 30
years so it wasn't just
tremendous relief and rush of excitement
and and cut a load on the body to the
last couple minutes of 3gs these guys
are the test is not an easy thing to put
up it it really squishes you down well
I'll tell you the grins on earth as we
stood around watching you were just as
wide and just as excited Chris so we're
going to use this link to pass a few
questions on to you that the discovery
channel has collected from young people
across Canada so I'm just going to be a
relay for some of the questions the
first one is from Melanie Hartness from
wavering Saskatchewan she's asked this
question after training so hard and to
be finally part of the first step of
assembling the space station would you
want to live on the space station
instead of Earth I'll jump at the chance
to live on a space station after seeing
that Sergei that the life that he has
appeared a chance to see the entire
earth every 90 minutes to do something
that a lot of people dream about and
very few people get to do it would be
just a tremendous experience that of all
the things to do with your life what an
amazing thing to be able to do tell us a
little bit about the effect that that
has on the human body being in space for
a for a prolonged period of time so
Sergei has been up for a two-month
sanity and as you can see he looks very
fit they they exercised a couple hours a
day well they're up here and it changes
the body subnet the fluids don't play on
your legs due to gravity so you own a
bit of fluid shift up your upper body
and then you end up actually losing some
fluid so you lose a mass and your legs
also as you can see we can sit anywhere
you want to learn microgravity so the
hare sense an up-and-down changes and it
really doesn't matter which lays up it's
just becomes arbitrary and it's amazing
how quick you adapt to that that's the
body adapt very quickly it's kind of
surprising really you wouldn't think
after millions of years of evolution
there'd be any reason for the body to
adapt to microgravity better to that's
very well
