00:00:04,610 --> 00:00:02,210
hi I'm Jeff Williams I'm here with a TJ

2
00:00:07,550 --> 00:00:04,620
creamer and sweetie noguchi and all of

3
00:00:09,860 --> 00:00:07,560
us are twittering from space and all of

4
00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:09,870
us I believe twittered pre-flight as

5
00:00:16,220 --> 00:00:12,990
well we have recognized over the last

6
00:00:18,109 --> 00:00:16,230
year or so that it's a great way to get

7
00:00:20,689 --> 00:00:18,119
the word out to the general public as to

8
00:00:22,099 --> 00:00:20,699
what we're doing in the space program

9
00:00:23,980 --> 00:00:22,109
because the space program obviously

10
00:00:27,410 --> 00:00:23,990
belongs to the people and the people

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:27,420
need to know what we're doing in TJ I

12
00:00:31,849 --> 00:00:29,330
know you've been Twitter and as as well

13
00:00:33,709 --> 00:00:31,859
preflight and a little bit in flip so

14
00:00:36,290 --> 00:00:33,719
tell us a little bit about your

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:36,300
experience a couple of things that I was

16
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:37,770
trying to do while we were twittering

17
00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:41,250
pre-flight was to give the sense of our

18
00:00:46,729 --> 00:00:44,129
activities our pace our interests in a

19
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:46,739
little bit of the unknown aspect of what

20
00:00:50,990 --> 00:00:48,450
we do on a daily basis to the

21
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Twitterverse and I opened up questions

22
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:53,010
to to the people who are following me

23
00:00:56,689 --> 00:00:54,570
and asked them that ask me the questions

24
00:00:59,180 --> 00:00:56,699
they wanted me to address and we spent

25
00:01:01,099 --> 00:00:59,190
several days back-to-back answering the

26
00:01:03,130 --> 00:01:01,109
questions and giving picture tours of

27
00:01:05,140 --> 00:01:03,140
baikonur picture tours of Star City and

28
00:01:07,250 --> 00:01:05,150
since we've been up on the space station

29
00:01:08,810 --> 00:01:07,260
the twittering pace has slowed down just

30
00:01:12,410 --> 00:01:08,820
a little bit because we've lost our

31
00:01:13,969 --> 00:01:12,420
ability to tweet real time but that is a

32
00:01:16,340 --> 00:01:13,979
project that Jeff and I are working on

33
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:16,350
near and dear to our hearts to to make

34
00:01:21,710 --> 00:01:18,720
lifetime tweeting so we can communicate

35
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:21,720
with you real time and get those

36
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:23,850
questions get that interest back up and

37
00:01:28,030 --> 00:01:26,130
share with you all what we are doing

38
00:01:30,530 --> 00:01:28,040
which we think is so interesting up here

39
00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:30,540
Thanks and sweetie you've also been

40
00:01:36,620 --> 00:01:33,360
twittering it tell us a little bit about

41
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:36,630
your experience yeah be happy to just a

42
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:39,360
two example I'll be twittering from

43
00:01:43,310 --> 00:01:41,369
space and there's a two responses that I

44
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:43,320
remember one from the high school kids

45
00:01:49,130 --> 00:01:45,810
in Japan that he has no interest in

46
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:49,140
space so so far but just listening or

47
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:51,090
the reading my Twitter he's just

48
00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:52,890
starting to follow the oldest space news

49
00:01:59,209 --> 00:01:54,720
that's one good thing the other thing is

50
00:02:02,359 --> 00:01:59,219
I had a one-on-one the VIP call with the

51
00:02:04,999 --> 00:02:02,369
Prime Minister Hatoyama and I wrote

52
00:02:07,550 --> 00:02:05,009
about the conversation on my Twitter and

53
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:07,560
the next day surprise surprise mr. huh

54
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:10,530
trauma replied on the Twitter so rting

55
00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:11,450
to me

56
00:02:18,729 --> 00:02:14,030
via Twitter so someday we do all the

57
00:02:20,110 --> 00:02:18,739
beep calls via Twitter and actually a

58
00:02:22,290 --> 00:02:20,120
few months ago I didn't know what

59
00:02:25,210 --> 00:02:22,300
Twitter was so I'm relatively new at it

60
00:02:28,750 --> 00:02:25,220
and I haven't been twittering as much as

61
00:02:30,670 --> 00:02:28,760
I intended to in-flight but as TJ

62
00:02:32,770 --> 00:02:30,680
mentioned we're working on internet

63
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:32,780
access real-time internet access up here

64
00:02:37,780 --> 00:02:34,640
we're all excited to get that turns out

65
00:02:40,270 --> 00:02:37,790
it's not quite as simple as as we had

66
00:02:42,670 --> 00:02:40,280
hoped so we're troubleshooting it the

67
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:42,680
team on the ground has been working on

68
00:02:47,740 --> 00:02:46,130
it extensively over the last several

69
00:02:51,220 --> 00:02:47,750
weeks trying to troubleshoot the

70
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:51,230
problems but like everything that has to

71
00:02:55,569 --> 00:02:54,170
do with space exploration nothing even

72
00:02:57,550 --> 00:02:55,579
the things that we take for granted on

73
00:02:59,440 --> 00:02:57,560
the earth nothing comes easy hopefully

74
00:03:02,559 --> 00:02:59,450
we'll get it soon and we'll get that

75
00:03:07,390 --> 00:03:02,569
those direct tweets as I guess you call

76
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:07,400
them from space to earth anyway good
