the next three members of the

2
00:00:08,390 --> 00:00:05,839
international space station crew include

3
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:08,400
an air force pilot and law student a

4
00:00:12,629 --> 00:00:10,000

russian air force colonel alexander

9
00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:20,320
skvortsov was born in shelkov near

10
00:00:25,029 --> 00:00:22,560
moscow because his father's job had

11
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:25,039
brought the family to star city a town

12
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:27,760
with no hospital

13
00:00:32,709 --> 00:00:29,039
my father

14
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:32,719
was a member of the cosmonaut corps not

15
00:00:36,549 --> 00:00:35,040
for too long because he had health

16
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:36,559
issues but

17
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:38,719
still i heard many good things

18
00:00:42,310 --> 00:00:40,160
about it

19
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:42,320
and the

20
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:44,399
the idea of space has always been very

21
00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:45,760
strong and

22
00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:47,600
strongly present in our

23
00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:48,719
families

24
00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:51,520
skvortsov's ambition to fly was nurtured

25
00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:53,520
growing up in a military family that

26
00:00:58,229 --> 00:00:55,920
moved from city to city and led to what

27
00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:58,239
he calls a pretty standard educational

28
00:01:01,189 --> 00:00:59,199
path

29
00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:01,199
after high school in morshansk he

30
00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:03,120
completed study at the stavropol air

31
00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:05,439
force pilot and navigator school

32
00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:07,360
spent seven years in the national air

33
00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:08,720
defense force

34
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:10,799
then studied at the military red banner

35
00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:12,640
air defense academy

36
00:01:17,350 --> 00:01:15,759
scorchoff graduated the academy in 1997

37
00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:17,360
the same year he was selected for the

38
00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:19,759
cosmonaut corps and started training to

39
00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:24,830
people who

40
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:26,400
have

41
00:01:31,429 --> 00:01:29,520
this spirit that makes them strive for

42
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:31,439
discoveries for research and to go

43
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:33,520
higher to go deeper that is something

44
00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:35,280
that allows us to do

45
00:01:40,149 --> 00:01:37,119
new things achieve new

46
00:01:43,749 --> 00:01:41,590
this is

47
00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:43,759
what humanity is all about

48
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:45,680
in the years he's been preparing for

49
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:48,560
this first space flight skv's also been

50
00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:50,560
studying at the russian academy of civil

51
00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:00,230
coincide with the fact that i will have

52
00:02:04,630 --> 00:02:02,640
to find space so i'll have to take a

53
00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:04,640
short break and i guess graduate the

54
00:02:08,869 --> 00:02:06,719
year after that when we did inspections

55
00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:08,879
every night tracy caldwell dyson was

56
00:02:13,270 --> 00:02:11,520
born in arcadia california and thinks of

57
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:13,280
all of southern california as her

58
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:14,560
hometown

59
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:16,480
she remembers dreaming about space as a

60
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:18,560
young girl but she first thought of it

61
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:20,560
as a career when she was a high school

62
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:22,720
student who saw a teacher christa

63
00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:25,440
mcauliffe prepare for her space flight

64
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,200
you start to realize that i've got

65
00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:29,280
something in common with this person and

66
00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:31,519
a teacher has the right stuff and a

67
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:33,200
teacher is teaching me

68
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:34,720
all day long i spend more time with my

69
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:37,440
teachers than i do my parents

70
00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:39,440
then it became very

71
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:41,040
interesting to me

72
00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:43,280
nearing graduation and unsure of what

73
00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:44,560
she wanted to be

74
00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:46,640
dyson took her parents advice and made a

75
00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:48,480
list of things she liked

76
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:51,440
being athletic studying science working

77
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:53,599
with tools learning languages and

78
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:54,640
cultures

79
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:56,160
when i looked at that list and then i

80
00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:58,080
looked at what astronauts were were

81
00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:59,440
doing

82
00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:01,200
this seemed like a pretty good match and

83
00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:02,480
that was the

84
00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:04,640
diving board that i sprang from into

85
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:07,040
college and graduate school and

86
00:03:10,630 --> 00:03:08,879
the path that i took

87
00:03:13,030 --> 00:03:10,640
dyson earned her bachelor's degree in

88
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:13,040
chemistry at california state university

89
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:15,040
at fullerton where she was a sprinter

90
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:17,120
and long jumper on the track team while

91
00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:18,800
working as an electrician for her

92
00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:20,720
father's contracting company

93
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:22,879
she completed her doctorate in chemistry

94
00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:25,280
at the university of california at davis

95
00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:27,280
and won a postdoctoral fellowship in

96
00:03:32,309 --> 00:03:29,280
environmental science before being

97
00:03:34,149 --> 00:03:32,319
selected as an astronaut in 1998.

98
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:34,159
she made her first space flight on the

99
00:03:38,309 --> 00:03:36,159
shuttle mission that delivered the s5

100
00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:38,319
truss to the international space station

101
00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:40,080
and thinks the planet would be in better

102
00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:41,920
shape if more people could make that

103
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:42,959
trip

104
00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:45,040
you know you take the firmest believer

105
00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:46,799
in

106
00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:50,720
launch them and you tick them

107
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:52,239
take them right in front of a window and

108
00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:55,040
have them look at that beautiful plump

109
00:03:58,390 --> 00:03:56,560
pink and blue planet

110
00:04:02,070 --> 00:03:58,400
as it turns from

111
00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:02,080
sunrise to sunset and

112
00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:05,200
they they'll change their mind

113
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:07,280
mikhail kornienko was born in the city

114
00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:09,760
of sijran on the volga river in western

115
00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:12,480
samara just a year before yuri gagarin

116
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:15,280
space flight changed the world

117
00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:17,919
and then the space exploration was only

118
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:19,120
starting

119
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:20,400
and every

120
00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:22,639
young boy was dreaming of being a

121
00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:23,919
cosmonaut

122
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:26,000
and i was not an exception

123
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:29,120
especially because my father

124
00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:32,720
was a rescue helicopter pilot

125
00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:34,720
his father's military job took the

126
00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:37,040
family to yusuno yurolsk and when

127
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:39,440
kornienko was six his father died in a

128
00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:42,080
helicopter crash during a rescue the

129
00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:43,840
young boy lived with his grandmother for

130
00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:46,080
a few years and then joined his mother

131
00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:47,759

132
00:04:51,749 --> 00:04:49,840
started the seventh grade one year

133
00:05:08,310 --> 00:04:51,759
before he was old enough to enroll at

134
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:11,189
young adults and we were studying

135
00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:17,510
and also we were allowed to

136
00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:20,240
do some parachute jumping

137
00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:22,240
after high school kornienko worked in a

138
00:05:27,670 --> 00:05:24,560
radio equipment plant before joining the

139
00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:27,680
soviet army and serving as a paratrooper

140
00:05:31,430 --> 00:05:29,600
then he joined the moscow militia or

141
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:31,440
police force while studying at the

142
00:05:36,390 --> 00:05:34,240
moscow aviation institute he worked as a

143
00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:36,400
mechanical engineering designer before

144
00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:38,479
getting on at the baikonur cosmodrome as

145
00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:40,720
a launch equipment specialist where for

146
00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:43,039
a time he led the team responsible for

147
00:05:47,350 --> 00:05:45,680
servicing the buron spacecraft

148
00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:47,360
kornienko joined the rocket space

149
00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:49,600
corporation in nergia as an engineer in

150
00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:52,560
1995. he was selected for the cosmonaut

151
00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:55,759
corps in 1998 and has worked as an eva

152
00:06:01,909 --> 00:05:58,080
specialist while preparing for his first

153
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:19,590
and of course we are going to colonize

154
00:06:25,909 --> 00:06:22,469
is that we do have to continue the space
