Katie today marks the 120 second
consecutive day in space for us
astronaut john blaha but his long stay
will soon be over that's because his
ride back home has arrived at the
Russian space station Mir along with his
replacement dr. jerry linenger both
astronauts are joined this morning by
shuttle commander michael Baker and the
crews of both the space shuttle atlantis
and of mere good morning everyone mr.
Blaha let me start with you you have
been in space for 122 consecutive days
how anxious are you to get your feet
back on solid ground can I ask you this
you will be performing a spacewalk as
part of your four months aboard mir how
anxious are you about that event ght 30
minutes of liberto stance a nearby booty
to provide III hood with the spa
religious about them American training
in three spacewalks and so I'm really
looking forward to doing it and that's
gonna be one of the higher to make
therapy on there John when you land next
week you will have spent 120 eight days
in space as you reflect on this mission
what's the most important lesson you've
learned about long-duration spaceflight
and working with the Russians privilege
of course most advanced it was him he
Kakui a sloth neuro quiz likly esta Copa
de Genovia bhavani of course mr.
which is a vehicle they have a together
Russians and Americans in space on a
joint international space station
station and a head start on how to work
together in space and in this mission
which we have just known as the third in
a series that have now been phone and
Jerry here starting the fourth one we
are learning how to work together the
Russians and Americans and holding that
is absolutely incredible and a fantastic
benefit to every all the six billion
human beings living on planet earth
thanks in a question for mere flight
engineer alexander kaleri john blaha has
been replaced aboard mir by jerry
linenger of course and i'm wondering
what your advices to jerry linenger on
how to make the best of his stay aboard
the MIR station / fabrice vahida john
blaha woods dominion jerry linenger on
our Beach a cocoon Vasilyev lagera
kikuchi shiho austral sandbar to stinson
adapter robinson
I think that the best way the best
advice is to listen to john blaha as
advice which they have been doing for
the last two days and we haven't seen
them much John has spent a good flight
and he understands all the problems
aboard the station and he has learned to
live and work here and he also
understands the problems which Jerry
will encounter even better than we do
and he will be a better person to ask
for advice and we will help him adapt
one to Mike Baker real quick commander
you made that docking with mere look
pretty easy the other night and I'm
wondering how valuable these joint
missions are as a stepping stone to
building the International Space Station
leadership approach commands aruba crew
rushes takeoff cabela's immediately
prekrasno rabota the Yankee Jesuit
naskolko Varginha entered orbit they are
Buddhist mrs. Costanzo I think they're
invaluable to us what you saw yesterday
was the result of a lot of teamwork that
got us to a nice smooth docking and of
course that's teamwork with not only my
crew is but with the crew on board near
and so this is an unavoidable step
towards the International Space Station
which is one that we have to make in
order to get to a viable International
Space Station
