pool table prior to flight this is the

93
00:23:55,430 --> 00:23:54,559

it used to be that the 10

97
00:24:16,830 --> 00:24:14,799
days of adjustment after landing where

98
00:24:20,549 --> 00:24:16,840
the gusman stayed at

99
00:24:24,710 --> 00:24:20,559
baikonur this is the mock-up of the

100
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,269
this is the landing strip for burun

101
00:24:35,029 --> 00:24:31,110
right now this is a

102
00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:36,950
we're watching all the launches on the

103
00:24:42,070 --> 00:24:39,120
second floor from the window

104
00:24:44,470 --> 00:24:42,080
it is very close

105
00:24:46,390 --> 00:24:44,480

we're going to have this as part of our

113
00:26:39,590 --> 00:26:37,360
museum we're going to reduce it in size

114
00:26:44,789 --> 00:26:39,600

122
00:28:46,399 --> 00:29:44,789
foreign

00:29:44,799 --> 00:30:14,470
oh

00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:34,830

00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:15,509
foreign

00:32:15,519 --> 00:33:44,230
okay

129
00:33:44,240 --> 00:34:15,990
lunch for school

130
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:25,669
there's

131
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:59,430
so

132
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:21,430
okay

133
00:35:25,109 --> 00:35:22,630
peggy

134
00:35:26,470 --> 00:35:25,119
another soyuz rocket ready to launch on

135
00:35:28,870 --> 00:35:26,480
friday

136
00:35:30,870 --> 00:35:28,880
you've had a chance to meet with tracy

137
00:35:32,870 --> 00:35:30,880
what's her state of readiness to begin

138
00:35:35,910 --> 00:35:32,880
her six months in space

139
00:35:38,230 --> 00:35:35,920
they're all very excited to go very

140
00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:38,240
concentrated and focused on what their

141
00:35:43,349 --> 00:35:40,240
tasks are going to be it's going to

142
00:35:45,109 --> 00:35:43,359
start off really busy with the arrival

143
00:35:47,589 --> 00:35:45,119
of the shuttle hopefully launching on

144
00:35:49,910 --> 00:35:47,599
the fifth and arriving two days later so

145
00:35:52,310 --> 00:35:49,920
they'll be jumping in almost immediately

146
00:35:54,230 --> 00:35:52,320
with very complicated operations joint

147
00:35:55,030 --> 00:35:54,240
operations with the shuttle

148
00:35:57,430 --> 00:35:55,040
so

149
00:35:59,430 --> 00:35:57,440
they're all thinking about their tasks

150
00:36:00,950 --> 00:35:59,440
that they will be doing in the next few

151
00:36:02,790 --> 00:36:00,960
weeks because it's going to be very

152
00:36:04,470 --> 00:36:02,800
concentrated effort

153
00:36:07,270 --> 00:36:04,480
to get started

154
00:36:09,510 --> 00:36:07,280
usually an arriving station crew has an

155
00:36:10,870 --> 00:36:09,520
opportunity for some days worth of

156
00:36:13,430 --> 00:36:10,880
orientation

157
00:36:14,870 --> 00:36:13,440
as you said tracy and her crewmates uh

158
00:36:15,990 --> 00:36:14,880
moving right into a joint shuttle

159
00:36:18,390 --> 00:36:16,000
mission

160
00:36:19,670 --> 00:36:18,400
any impacts there or are they just fully

161
00:36:21,589 --> 00:36:19,680
prepared for that

162
00:36:23,349 --> 00:36:21,599
well they've trained for it but it'll

163
00:36:25,670 --> 00:36:23,359
obviously be a little more complicated

164
00:36:27,430 --> 00:36:25,680
than usual because you do have to start

165
00:36:29,349 --> 00:36:27,440
off running

166
00:36:31,430 --> 00:36:29,359
usually in the first couple of weeks on

167
00:36:33,589 --> 00:36:31,440
board station we allow the crew members

168
00:36:35,190 --> 00:36:33,599
a little more orientation time just to

169
00:36:37,670 --> 00:36:35,200
figure out where everything's located

170
00:36:40,069 --> 00:36:37,680
and be able to find things easily

171
00:36:46,630 --> 00:36:40,079
and they won't have that luxury so

172
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:51,950
ready to go space shuttle on the

173
00:36:57,589 --> 00:36:54,390
manhattan operations that lie ahead over

174
00:36:59,349 --> 00:36:57,599
the next week it's an amazing time for

175
00:37:01,589 --> 00:36:59,359
us to see the activity behind me here

176
00:37:03,589 --> 00:37:01,599
with the soyuz and watch the team get

177
00:37:05,030 --> 00:37:03,599
the rocket ready to go fly

178
00:37:06,950 --> 00:37:05,040
watch the guys start to make the

179
00:37:09,109 --> 00:37:06,960
umbilicals and get the rocket ready at

180
00:37:11,670 --> 00:37:09,119
the same time i have my blackberry here

181
00:37:13,030 --> 00:37:11,680
i get sasses from florida i see what the

182
00:37:15,270 --> 00:37:13,040
team's doing in florida getting the

183
00:37:16,710 --> 00:37:15,280
vehicle ready and they've just done some

184
00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:16,720
loading down in florida a little too

185
00:37:19,430 --> 00:37:18,240
cool to load some propellant and they'll

186
00:37:21,589 --> 00:37:19,440
do a little bit later and they'll get

187
00:37:23,670 --> 00:37:21,599
that taken care of but again it's neat

188
00:37:25,349 --> 00:37:23,680
seeing kind of in two different worlds

189
00:37:27,270 --> 00:37:25,359
two rockets getting ready to go to the

190
00:37:29,750 --> 00:37:27,280
same space station it's a pretty amazing

191
00:37:32,150 --> 00:37:29,760
time for us how complicated will tracy

192
00:37:35,109 --> 00:37:32,160
caldwell dyson's increment be she'll be

193
00:37:37,510 --> 00:37:35,119
very busy with lots of activities the

194
00:37:39,990 --> 00:37:37,520
russian modules coming up again you'll

195
00:37:41,190 --> 00:37:40,000
also see in this mplm some science racks

196
00:37:43,030 --> 00:37:41,200
that we're carrying up we're carrying

197
00:37:45,510 --> 00:37:43,040
out the window observation facility a

198
00:37:46,950 --> 00:37:45,520
new minus 80 degree freezer so we're not

199
00:37:48,310 --> 00:37:46,960
only bringing the spares up but we're

200
00:37:49,910 --> 00:37:48,320
starting to bring a lot of the research

201
00:37:51,829 --> 00:37:49,920
equipment up to kind of finish the

202
00:37:52,790 --> 00:37:51,839
outside of the research side of station

203
00:37:54,550 --> 00:37:52,800
so

204
00:37:56,390 --> 00:37:54,560
again it's neat seeing not only the

205
00:37:57,990 --> 00:37:56,400
station to get assembled but then seeing

206
00:37:59,589 --> 00:37:58,000
the final touches get put on the

207
00:38:01,030 --> 00:37:59,599
research equipment

208
00:38:03,589 --> 00:38:01,040
and finally bill

209
00:38:05,910 --> 00:38:03,599
this launch on friday begins

210
00:38:08,790 --> 00:38:05,920
the final year of shuttle operations

211
00:38:09,910 --> 00:38:08,800
soyuz kicking off this busy year

212
00:38:11,910 --> 00:38:09,920
but

213
00:38:13,910 --> 00:38:11,920
for everyone associated with the shuttle

214
00:38:16,550 --> 00:38:13,920
program a bittersweet

215
00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:16,560
time to contemplate what lies ahead your

216
00:38:21,910 --> 00:38:19,040
thoughts as we begin this uh this

217
00:38:23,829 --> 00:38:21,920
very busy year and historic year

218
00:38:25,430 --> 00:38:23,839
yeah i think you know we're kind of you

219
00:38:27,349 --> 00:38:25,440
know reminded we know that the shuttle

220
00:38:29,109 --> 00:38:27,359
program is going to come to an end and

221
00:38:31,510 --> 00:38:29,119
and what we need to do is just take each

222
00:38:33,670 --> 00:38:31,520
flight one at a time work at our utmost

223
00:38:35,910 --> 00:38:33,680
be prepared be ready to go do what we

224
00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:35,920
need to do space flight's unforgiving we

225
00:38:39,910 --> 00:38:38,160
need to be prepared do our work but then

226
00:38:41,349 --> 00:38:39,920
also take a moment every once in a while

227
00:38:43,030 --> 00:38:41,359
to just cherish what we're doing and

228
00:38:45,270 --> 00:38:43,040
think about how it fits in a big scheme

229
00:38:46,870 --> 00:38:45,280
of things how this fits in doing

230
00:38:49,270 --> 00:38:46,880
research and really setting us up for

231
00:38:51,270 --> 00:38:49,280
the future so this is a unique time for

232
00:38:54,870 --> 00:38:51,280
us i think we'll look back on this time

233
00:38:56,069 --> 00:38:54,880
in a special way but as we do that

234
00:38:57,430 --> 00:38:56,079
we need to take each one of these

235
00:38:59,349 --> 00:38:57,440
flights and really think about what it

236
00:39:01,109 --> 00:38:59,359
means in a bigger context but but stay

237
00:39:02,710 --> 00:39:01,119
focused on their job do the work like we

238
00:39:05,109 --> 00:39:02,720
need to do be professionals and move

239
00:39:06,870 --> 00:39:05,119
forward so again i see a tremendously

240
00:39:08,790 --> 00:39:06,880
professional team here getting the soyuz

241
00:39:11,190 --> 00:39:08,800
ready the same spirit that drives the

242
00:39:12,710 --> 00:39:11,200
team here drives a team in florida and

243
00:39:15,349 --> 00:39:12,720
we'll be ready to go fly when it's time

244
00:39:16,310 --> 00:39:15,359
to go fly

245
00:39:18,790 --> 00:39:16,320
kirk

246
00:39:20,870 --> 00:39:18,800
so use on the pad as we head into the

247
00:39:22,710 --> 00:39:20,880
month of april which of course is always

248
00:39:24,470 --> 00:39:22,720
an historic time here at the baikonur

249
00:39:26,550 --> 00:39:24,480
cosmodrome your thoughts

250
00:39:28,230 --> 00:39:26,560
as the soyuz prepares to visit the

251
00:39:29,910 --> 00:39:28,240
international space station well like

252
00:39:31,430 --> 00:39:29,920
you said it's a very exciting time it's

253
00:39:33,589 --> 00:39:31,440
uh it's near the anniversary of yuri

254
00:39:35,589 --> 00:39:33,599
gagarin's first flight and uh and you

255
00:39:37,990 --> 00:39:35,599
can't help but think about the history

256
00:39:40,150 --> 00:39:38,000
of a human space flight

257
00:39:41,829 --> 00:39:40,160
when you're out here at baikonur it's

258
00:39:43,270 --> 00:39:41,839
really a busy time for international

259
00:39:44,230 --> 00:39:43,280
space station with this flight and the

260
00:39:46,470 --> 00:39:44,240
upcoming

261
00:39:48,790 --> 00:39:46,480
shuttle flight 19a in a few days as well

262
00:39:50,950 --> 00:39:48,800
so a really exciting time it's a great

263
00:39:52,630 --> 00:39:50,960
uh it's great opportunity to be here

264
00:39:54,230 --> 00:39:52,640
you almost need a traffic cop up the

265
00:39:55,910 --> 00:39:54,240
international space station to figure

266
00:39:57,990 --> 00:39:55,920
out the traffic pattern that's about to

267
00:40:00,870 --> 00:39:58,000
unfold over the next few days

268
00:40:02,710 --> 00:40:00,880
how how complex is this integrated

269
00:40:03,510 --> 00:40:02,720
arrival of the soyuz with a brand new

270
00:40:04,309 --> 00:40:03,520
crew

271
00:40:05,829 --> 00:40:04,319
and

272
00:40:08,150 --> 00:40:05,839
the arrival of the shuttle next week

273
00:40:09,910 --> 00:40:08,160
with all those critical uh components

274
00:40:11,829 --> 00:40:09,920
and cargo onboard sure it's a little

275
00:40:13,510 --> 00:40:11,839
it's a little complicated but but uh

276
00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:13,520
having gone to six person crew on board

277
00:40:16,870 --> 00:40:14,800
the international space station last

278
00:40:17,670 --> 00:40:16,880
year makes a big difference so

279
00:40:20,069 --> 00:40:17,680
uh

280
00:40:21,990 --> 00:40:20,079
when alexander and mchale and tracy get

281
00:40:23,670 --> 00:40:22,000
up to the space station uh they'll be

282
00:40:24,870 --> 00:40:23,680
new just like the shuttle crew will be

283
00:40:26,470 --> 00:40:24,880
new when they arrive there but we'll

284
00:40:29,190 --> 00:40:26,480
have three veterans who've been on board

285
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:29,200
for sever for several months and so uh

286
00:40:31,670 --> 00:40:30,480
the fact that we have six people and

287
00:40:33,910 --> 00:40:31,680
three people who've been up there for

288
00:40:35,109 --> 00:40:33,920
quite a while that'll ease this whole uh

289
00:40:37,430 --> 00:40:35,119
this whole period and make it very

290
00:40:38,950 --> 00:40:37,440
productive so i'm confident that these

291
00:40:42,069 --> 00:40:38,960
two missions arriving very close

292
00:40:43,589 --> 00:40:42,079
together will work out very well

293
00:40:45,349 --> 00:40:43,599
now you're going to be re-upping to a

294
00:40:47,109 --> 00:40:45,359
six-person crew for the first time since

295
00:40:49,829 --> 00:40:47,119
last november and that's going to be the

296
00:40:51,910 --> 00:40:49,839
pattern from now on how important will

297
00:40:54,630 --> 00:40:51,920
the next several months be how complex

298
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:54,640
is this expedition upcoming in terms of

299
00:40:59,430 --> 00:40:56,640
integrating the shuttle visits as well

300
00:41:01,349 --> 00:40:59,440
as uh getting us back to a full eclipse

301
00:41:03,670 --> 00:41:01,359
capability and all of that sure this

302
00:41:08,390 --> 00:41:03,680
expedition expedition 23 and

303
00:41:10,150 --> 00:41:08,400
24 will have 128 different scientific

304
00:41:12,710 --> 00:41:10,160
investigations that will support over

305
00:41:15,109 --> 00:41:12,720
400 scientists around the world and so

306
00:41:16,309 --> 00:41:15,119
it's a very robust science program the

307
00:41:18,550 --> 00:41:16,319
shuttle that's going to launch here in a

308
00:41:20,950 --> 00:41:18,560
few days is going to carry over 6 700

309
00:41:22,790 --> 00:41:20,960
pounds of research materials including

310
00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:22,800
four research facilities

311
00:41:27,829 --> 00:41:25,920
and and also scientific experiments mix

312
00:41:29,510 --> 00:41:27,839
that with this crew will see three

313
00:41:31,109 --> 00:41:29,520
different shuttles fly up to the

314
00:41:33,510 --> 00:41:31,119
international space station so not only

315
00:41:36,230 --> 00:41:33,520
they have a robust science program

316
00:41:37,510 --> 00:41:36,240
an education program but they'll also be

317
00:41:39,510 --> 00:41:37,520
finishing up the assembly of the

318
00:41:42,069 --> 00:41:39,520
international space station so very a

319
00:41:43,990 --> 00:41:42,079
very exciting time a very busy time but
