but this week we're celebrating a lot of

10
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:38,239
anniversaries and i'm wondering if you

11
00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:40,480
would take a minute to reflect on the

12
00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:42,879
accomplishments of the space program and

13
00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:44,559
and kind of your vision of where you

14
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:45,920
would like to see things go in the

15
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:51,590
gina thanks for the question nice

16
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:54,640
talking to you again today

17
00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:57,600
on april 12th we celebrated two great

18
00:01:02,869 --> 00:00:59,359
anniversaries

19
00:01:04,710 --> 00:01:02,879
the first was with our russian partners

20
00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:04,720
and their anniversary of yuri gagarin's

21
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:07,280
launch in 1961.

22
00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:08,479
and the second

23
00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:10,159
was of course the

24
00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:11,600
anniversary of the first launch of the

25
00:01:16,149 --> 00:01:12,799
space shuttle

26
00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:16,159
on april 12 1981 with captain john young

27
00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:19,439
and captain bob crippen aboard

28
00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:21,119
i think it's a

29
00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:23,600
great way and a great time to reflect on

30
00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:25,920
all the accomplishments of both space

31
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:27,040
programs

32
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:28,640
as well as our international partnership

33
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:30,000
together

34
00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:32,400
as you can see we have three nations

35
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:34,159
represented in this group of 13

36
00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:36,320
astronauts and cosmonauts

37
00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:38,000
and i think it's just great that we're

38
00:01:42,310 --> 00:01:39,040
up here on the international space

39
00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:44,389
with joint research and joint technology

40
00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:49,990
and doing a wonderful work for all of

41
00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:56,950
this is jill tolk with bay area houston

42
00:02:00,870 --> 00:01:59,600
magazine a question for mikhail and

43
00:02:02,709 --> 00:02:00,880
alexander

44
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:02,719
what have you enjoyed most about your

45
00:02:06,149 --> 00:02:04,240
mission so far

46
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:06,159
and what beautiful things have you seen

47
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:19,030
well cupola is a window to universe it's

48
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:20,560
very amazing

49
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:23,360
i was very impressed first time i seen

50
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:25,360
space from cupola

51
00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:38,550
and of course uh

52
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:40,720
the first impression for me it was our

53
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:42,080
launch

54
00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:43,760
by uh

55
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:46,000
sayus rocket it

56
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:48,239
it was first launch for me and for

57
00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:49,680
alexander

58
00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:52,000
and nine minutes

59
00:02:57,509 --> 00:02:54,400
for orbit it was

60
00:03:10,869 --> 00:02:57,519
like a new life for me

61
00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:13,990
thank you and i had a similar question

62
00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:16,000
for alexander

63
00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:18,400
what it was like for you to

64
00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:20,159
have your launch what have you enjoyed

65
00:03:29,589 --> 00:03:21,440
and what things have you seen through

66
00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:31,190
thank you very much for your questions

67
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:34,640
it was exciting for me and

68
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:37,680
i think it was my first experience to be

69
00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:40,000
in space and

70
00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:42,159
cupola

71
00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:48,789
hi this is robert perlman with

72
00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:50,959
collectspace.com

73
00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:52,959
for clay anderson

74
00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:55,439
one of the themes of apollo 13 which

75
00:03:59,350 --> 00:03:57,519
occurred 40 years ago this week

76
00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:59,360
was that the media and public had been

77
00:04:03,429 --> 00:04:01,120
mostly turned off to the mission until

78
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:03,439
something went wrong

79
00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:04,720
you and your crewmates have had your

80
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:06,480
share of minor glitches on this flight

81
00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,080
which have provided for some headlines

82
00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:10,239
here on earth but do you feel the public

83
00:04:18,469 --> 00:04:11,599
should be more aware of your mission

84
00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:20,550
well i think yes they should

85
00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:23,199
you know what we do here is special what

86
00:04:27,749 --> 00:04:25,520
we do here is difficult and what we do

87
00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:27,759
here is a great example of what humans

88
00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:30,000
can do if they work hard if they work

89
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:31,759
smartly and if they work together so

90
00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:33,680
yeah i'd really like to see everybody

91
00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:35,520
pay more attention when

92
00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:37,040
we're up here regardless of whether

93
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:38,479
things are going well or whether they're

94
00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:45,510
and a question for dottie metcalf

95
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:47,440
lindenberger

96
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:49,120
looking at the photographs when you

97
00:04:53,189 --> 00:04:51,360
attended space camp and thinking of the

98
00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:53,199
campers that have now followed you and

99
00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:54,720
are there now

100
00:04:57,749 --> 00:04:56,400
can you give a sense of how real space

101
00:05:00,230 --> 00:04:57,759
flight compares to what you thought it

102
00:05:01,510 --> 00:05:00,240
was it would be like at age 14 it

103
00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:01,520
certainly looks like you're having just

104
00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:09,590
well when i was at space camp i one of

105
00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:12,000
my simulations was to be

106
00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:14,800
in the lab and it was more of a space

107
00:05:18,629 --> 00:05:17,039
hab on the shuttle but

108
00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:18,639
i have actually had a chance to go

109
00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:21,120
throughout iss and see the experiments

110
00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:22,960
that are going on

111
00:05:26,390 --> 00:05:25,039
our flight we don't have time to

112
00:05:28,550 --> 00:05:26,400
participate in the experiments that's

113
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:28,560
what the iss crew is for but this is

114
00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:30,400
what i would have imagined as a 14 year

115
00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:32,720
old that a space lab looked like

116
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:33,840
and uh

117
00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:36,080
the shuttle ride was uh very exciting

118
00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:38,800
nothing that i could quite ever imagine

119
00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:40,400
but i hope that all

120
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:42,320
students out there whether you're

121
00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:45,120
attending space camp or not are

122
00:05:55,430 --> 00:05:53,029
discovery iss this is houston acr that

123
00:06:01,270 --> 00:05:55,440
concludes questions from jsc please

russia done of the associated press

127
00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,160
probably for commander poindexter i'm

128
00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:20,639
wondering if you have any plans or hopes

129
00:06:23,430 --> 00:06:21,360
of

130
00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:23,440
listening in real time to the

131
00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:26,000
presidential space policy speech that

132
00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:27,840
will be going on at kennedy space center

133
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:29,520
tomorrow afternoon

134
00:06:32,469 --> 00:06:31,120
you'll still be up it'll be close to

135
00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:32,479
bedtime but i didn't know if mission

136
00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:34,160
control is going to try to accommodate

137
00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:34,880
you

138
00:06:41,590 --> 00:06:39,440
being up there and missing um

139
00:06:47,430 --> 00:06:41,600
all the space goings on down here with

140
00:06:51,110 --> 00:06:49,110
well that's a good question uh we're

141
00:06:53,189 --> 00:06:51,120
real busy as you know on orbit uh with

142
00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:53,199
our transfer operations and tomorrow is

143
00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:55,280
a big day where we put the mplm back in

144
00:06:58,790 --> 00:06:56,639
the payload bay

145
00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:58,800
we're keeping uh abreast of all current

146
00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:00,240
news uh the

147
00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:02,720
the mission control center sends us news

148
00:07:06,550 --> 00:07:04,960
every day here on space station they

149
00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:06,560
have a lot of assets that allow us to

150
00:07:11,350 --> 00:07:08,639
get uh current news so yeah we're

151
00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:11,360
staying abreast of of most of the

152
00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:12,800
of the current news

153
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:14,080
and

154
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:18,240
as far as real time uh i i don't have uh

155
00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:20,000
don't know of any plans to tie us in for

156
00:07:27,589 --> 00:07:25,589
thank you and

157
00:07:29,589 --> 00:07:27,599
the question for any or all of the four

158
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:29,599
upside down women you look upside down

159
00:07:33,909 --> 00:07:32,560
from this point of view anyway how is it

160
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:33,919
having

161
00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:36,400
a crowd of four women in space all

162
00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:38,080
together at the same time what does it

163
00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:46,710
well it's certainly a pleasure to be

164
00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:49,360
part of a mission with that uh

165
00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:50,800
two additional women or three total

166
00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:53,280
women on the shuttle and joining uh

167
00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:54,960
tracy caldwell on the space station for

168
00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:57,440
four women in space total and it really

169
00:08:02,629 --> 00:08:00,960
is a testament to uh the hard work of uh

170
00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:02,639
women we've had

171
00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:04,400
the benefit of the mentorship of many

172
00:08:09,749 --> 00:08:06,800
women in the astronaut office that now

173
00:08:11,830 --> 00:08:09,759
reaching over having 50 women in space

174
00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:11,840
and really is a testament to the hard

175
00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:14,560
work and accomplishments of women and we

176
00:08:21,909 --> 00:08:16,800
hope to inspire young women to follow in

177
00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:23,990
have there been any advantages that you

178
00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:25,680
can see of having

179
00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:32,149
well

180
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:34,080
due to

181
00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:36,000
discipline and background we each bring

182
00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:38,080
a unique perspective and a different

183
00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:40,479
look perhaps at procedures or at

184
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:42,640
activities and so

185
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:44,800
we really just believe that we

186
00:08:49,590 --> 00:08:46,640
bring an additional

187
00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:49,600
aspect to the mission and it's just nice

188
00:08:52,389 --> 00:08:51,120
to be able to share this experience

189
00:08:57,269 --> 00:08:52,399
actually with all of the crew members

190
00:09:01,030 --> 00:08:59,350
thank you and and final question from

191
00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:01,040
here at the kennedy space center for

192
00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:04,399
either clay anderson or rick mastracchio

193
00:09:09,670 --> 00:09:06,800
um you had a struggle so much with those

194
00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:09,680
bolts over the last three space walks it

195
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:12,720
you must be pretty tuckered out

196
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:14,800
how tiring was it how tired are you

197
00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:23,670
it may have seemed like we're working

198
00:09:26,949 --> 00:09:25,360
hard but actually as we were struggling

199
00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:26,959
with those bolts we were just doing a

200
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:28,800
lot more thinking than we were actually

201
00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:29,760
working

202
00:09:33,430 --> 00:09:31,440
as we worked with mission control and

203
00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:33,440
the folks inside the space station with

204
00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:35,440
dottie and the robotics folks to try to

205
00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:37,279
figure out a plan to get that

206
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:39,519
tank in place so really physically

207
00:09:45,509 --> 00:09:42,240
wasn't too difficult

208
00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:45,519
and today uh clay and i feel fine and uh

209
00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:47,440
if necessary we'll go out for future

210
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:48,959
spacewalks but hopefully none of those

211
00:09:54,389 --> 00:09:51,920
will be required and we're enjoying our

212
00:09:55,750 --> 00:09:54,399
day off at will after this and we're

213
00:09:59,350 --> 00:09:55,760

223
00:10:40,630 --> 00:10:38,160
radio question for uh captain poindexter

224
00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:40,640
with with only three missions left i

225
00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:42,160
just wonder what your feelings are what

226
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:44,000
kind of emotions you're feeling uh

227
00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:45,680
knowing that this will be your final

228
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:47,279
shuttle mission and the program is

229
00:10:56,069 --> 00:10:54,550
thanks for your question

230
00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:56,079
i think all of us feel really really

231
00:11:01,350 --> 00:10:57,440
lucky to be here

232
00:11:03,350 --> 00:11:01,360
very honored and very proud to represent

233
00:11:05,829 --> 00:11:03,360
our countries

234
00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:05,839
and i i think it's just a lucky lucky

235
00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:07,200
experience that i wish more people could

236
00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:09,200
have

237
00:11:12,150 --> 00:11:11,279
i feel really honored to be a part of

238
00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:12,160
the

239
00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:15,839
shuttle's brought

240
00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:16,800
and

241
00:11:20,870 --> 00:11:19,920
i i we all hate to see it go

242
00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:20,880
but

243
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:23,120
as programs age and

244
00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:24,720
as vehicles age

245
00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:27,120
it comes time to say

246
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:29,040
say goodbye to those and look forward to

247
00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:32,720
others and it's time to celebrate the

248
00:11:35,829 --> 00:11:34,320
all of the

249
00:11:40,949 --> 00:11:35,839
accomplishments that the shuttle program

250
00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:42,389
with that in mind captain where do you

251
00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:51,350
i think i'll be back in houston uh with

252
00:11:58,710 --> 00:11:53,040
my hand up in line for another space

253
00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:00,710
oh hello this is nell greenfield boyce

254
00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:02,880
with national public radio this is for

255
00:12:07,509 --> 00:12:05,279
the american residents of the station do

256
00:12:10,069 --> 00:12:07,519
you feel there's any need for more crew

257
00:12:21,430 --> 00:12:10,079
emergency escape spacecraft on station

258
00:12:24,949 --> 00:12:22,790
actually we have quite a bit of

259
00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:24,959
confidence in the uh the soyuz that

260
00:12:29,030 --> 00:12:26,720
brought us here and um

261
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:29,040
there is enough room in each soyuz uh to

262
00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:31,680
bring us home in case of emergencies so

263
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:33,920
i think the one thing that we'll miss

264
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:36,880
the most about the shuttle is um

265
00:12:41,269 --> 00:12:38,639
of course the the magnificent vehicle

266
00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:41,279
that it is but the uh payload power that

267
00:12:45,910 --> 00:12:44,160
it has to bring up necessary supplies

268
00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:45,920
and spares and that will be one of the

269
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:47,040
most

270
00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:49,279
crucial things that we'll miss

271
00:12:55,030 --> 00:12:51,760
with having only soyuz

272
00:12:57,750 --> 00:12:55,040
vehicles attached but as far as

273
00:13:00,069 --> 00:12:57,760
our safety goes and and our confidence

274
00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:00,079
in needing to evacuate

275
00:13:04,069 --> 00:13:02,000
in case of an emergency i think all of

276
00:13:05,430 --> 00:13:04,079
us here and those on the ground feel

277
00:13:09,190 --> 00:13:05,440
very confident with the vehicles that we

278
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:12,069
discovery iss this is houston acr that

279
00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:13,519
concludes questions from nasa

280
00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:15,760
headquarters please stand by for a voice

281
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:18,800
check from moscow pao

282
00:13:26,790 --> 00:13:20,560
discovery it says

283
00:13:31,670 --> 00:13:29,670
and we're idiot unclear moscow

284
00:13:33,829 --> 00:13:31,680
hello to you all this is stacy bivens

285
00:13:36,389 --> 00:13:33,839
with russia today i'm wondering how does

286
00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:36,399
it feel emotionally to be in space

287
00:13:40,629 --> 00:13:38,560
living in zero gravity and seeing the

288
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:40,639
world in a perspective that most of us

289
00:13:45,430 --> 00:13:43,040
will never get to see now tj this is

290
00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:45,440
your first mission are you mesmerized

291
00:13:49,509 --> 00:13:47,440
when you look out and see the earth and

292
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:49,519
oleg and sayuchi this is your second

293
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:51,360
mission how does it compare to your

294
00:13:59,670 --> 00:13:57,269
the first thing i can share with you is

295
00:14:00,790 --> 00:13:59,680
that living in space is a wonderful

296
00:14:02,790 --> 00:14:00,800
experience

297
00:14:04,230 --> 00:14:02,800
as a kid you sometimes dream about

298
00:14:05,509 --> 00:14:04,240
flying and floating and all that kind of

299
00:14:07,990 --> 00:14:05,519
stuff we're actually living that

300
00:14:09,509 --> 00:14:08,000
experience now you've asked a very

301
00:14:11,269 --> 00:14:09,519
insightful question about looking out

302
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:11,279
and seeing the world

303
00:14:16,790 --> 00:14:14,240
it is breathtaking the cupola windows

304
00:14:18,629 --> 00:14:16,800
provide you a vista that absolutely

305
00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:18,639
stops what you're doing sometimes i was

306
00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:20,480
working out on the in on the

307
00:14:23,990 --> 00:14:22,720
weightlifting device that we use and

308
00:14:26,550 --> 00:14:24,000
while i was doing that looking through

309
00:14:27,750 --> 00:14:26,560
the window and we passed over chicago in

310
00:14:29,670 --> 00:14:27,760
a skyless

311
00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:29,680
cloudless night and it was so stunning i

312
00:14:48,150 --> 00:14:31,360
had to stop and just go take a look it

313
00:14:53,269 --> 00:14:50,949
okay and also tracy i understand that

314
00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:53,279
one of your hobbies is singing how does

315
00:14:57,350 --> 00:14:55,680
being in space affect your vocal range

316
00:15:02,310 --> 00:14:57,360
would it be possible for us to get a la

317
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,150
oh no chance of that

318
00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:08,230
my

319
00:15:14,710 --> 00:15:12,399
here with me in the front row and

320
00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:14,720
when all the cameras are turned off and

321
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:16,480
we get a moment of

322
00:15:20,230 --> 00:15:17,760
off duty

323
00:15:22,550 --> 00:15:20,240
she and i plan to crank up the tunes and

324
00:15:24,629 --> 00:15:22,560
do a little singing for our max q

325
00:15:26,069 --> 00:15:24,639
buddies back home but

326
00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:26,079
there really hasn't been a whole lot of

327
00:15:31,509 --> 00:15:28,000
opportunity to do much singing up here

328
00:15:34,069 --> 00:15:31,519
since i got here it's been

329
00:15:51,990 --> 00:15:34,079
full of adaptation and getting prepared

330
00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:00,870
foreign

331
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:02,870
you have received new crew members on

332
00:16:07,910 --> 00:16:05,600
board and did you change the

333
00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:07,920
process of work and life on board of the

334
00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:09,920
iss

335
00:16:15,509 --> 00:16:12,480
it's a very interesting question

336
00:16:17,990 --> 00:16:15,519
our schedule and procedures

337
00:16:20,470 --> 00:16:18,000
do change with the shuttle arrival

338
00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:20,480
because we have changed the

339
00:16:24,470 --> 00:16:22,800
work and rest schedule shifts need to

340
00:16:27,829 --> 00:16:24,480
accommodate shuttle we are also

341
00:16:32,629 --> 00:16:27,839
participating in shadow activities

342
00:16:37,829 --> 00:16:34,710
we're working as one crew

343
00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:37,839
it's quite intense and we're glad to

344
00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:44,389
this afternoon

345
00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:47,600
we're going to spend it um showing off

346
00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:49,519
the station to your guest thank you for

347
00:16:53,350 --> 00:16:50,880
the question i would like to ask the

348
00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:53,360
second question to the entire

349
00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:55,360
russian crim

350
00:17:00,949 --> 00:16:57,440
are you going to

351
00:17:05,029 --> 00:17:00,959
test uh interplanetary uh technologies

352
00:17:10,390 --> 00:17:07,909
i hope there will be tests

353
00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:10,400
but i don't think it will happen during

354
00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:11,199
our

355
00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:13,760
mission but i would like to see it start

356
00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:16,880
someday because it is very interesting

357
00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:20,480
the iss is a unique technological test

358
00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:21,839
space for

359
00:17:26,870 --> 00:17:24,160
future space exploration by the human

360
00:17:31,990 --> 00:17:26,880
kind good afternoon this is palliate rue

361
00:17:38,710 --> 00:17:34,150

a large uh lunch table is located in

365
00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:54,799
that module and it is a very good

366
00:17:59,029 --> 00:17:56,799
tradition for us to

and russian segment this is one station

373
00:18:23,510 --> 00:18:21,919

involved in this uh training

449
00:22:48,789 --> 00:22:47,200
and what did you think at the moment the

450
00:22:51,029 --> 00:22:48,799
very moment when the shuttle got

451
00:22:52,070 --> 00:22:51,039
launched after 11 years of harsh

452
00:22:54,710 --> 00:22:52,080
training

453
00:22:57,750 --> 00:22:54,720
i couldn't

454
00:23:01,029 --> 00:22:57,760
you are right it has been 11 years of

455
00:23:04,789 --> 00:23:01,039
harsh training and we experienced a lot

456
00:23:07,990 --> 00:23:04,799
of um a lot of things and the mission

457
00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:08,000
training has been for one year so when

458
00:23:13,110 --> 00:23:10,320
the shuttle got launched

459
00:23:15,909 --> 00:23:13,120
i really realized that

460
00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:15,919
i am going to the space and it was

461
00:23:22,789 --> 00:23:18,720
really moving and touching moment

462
00:23:26,549 --> 00:23:22,799
when i got into space space shuttle the

463
00:23:28,789 --> 00:23:26,559
uh scenery is the same as mockup and

464
00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:28,799
then i thought that this is the same as

465
00:23:31,669 --> 00:23:30,480
the mock-up but

466
00:23:34,390 --> 00:23:31,679
the next

467
00:23:37,350 --> 00:23:34,400
instance i got

468
00:23:40,470 --> 00:23:37,360
i got the movement

469
00:23:42,230 --> 00:23:40,480
my name is kikuchi from the kyodo news

470
00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:42,240
agency

471
00:23:46,070 --> 00:23:44,880
uh yesterday uh no the day before

472
00:23:48,549 --> 00:23:46,080
yesterday

473
00:23:52,630 --> 00:23:48,559
you had a communication with

474
00:23:56,470 --> 00:23:52,640
minister maihara and other children

475
00:23:59,350 --> 00:23:56,480
and you express the haiku and the arts

476
00:24:02,950 --> 00:23:59,360
flower are the children of the universe

477
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:02,960
and i heard that you were looking at the

478
00:24:06,950 --> 00:24:05,520
sky and the space uh since your

479
00:24:09,190 --> 00:24:06,960
childhood

480
00:24:11,830 --> 00:24:09,200
after you came to the space were there

481
00:24:15,590 --> 00:24:11,840
any change in your view of nature life

482
00:24:27,990 --> 00:24:15,600
and the way of thinking in general

483
00:24:33,909 --> 00:24:31,029
the universe and ourselves are the same

484
00:24:37,990 --> 00:24:33,919
so it was a touching moment too and when

485
00:24:39,430 --> 00:24:38,000
i came to the universe i really realized

486
00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:39,440
that

487
00:24:47,510 --> 00:24:43,760
we are actually the part of the universe

488
00:24:51,029 --> 00:24:47,520
i do not know how to express the view of

489
00:24:54,149 --> 00:24:51,039
the nature in the life but the um

490
00:24:57,669 --> 00:24:54,159
the us from the space was so touching

491
00:25:00,390 --> 00:24:57,679
and beautiful and spectacular and i also

492
00:25:06,149 --> 00:25:00,400
thought that the ability or or the

493
00:25:07,029 --> 00:25:06,159
potential of the human power is um spark

494
00:25:11,590 --> 00:25:07,039
it

495
00:25:14,310 --> 00:25:11,600
10 000 or more people that involved in

496
00:25:15,510 --> 00:25:14,320
this exploration the teamwork was

497
00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:15,520
beautiful

498
00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:22,070
as an astronaut wife and mother you are

499
00:25:26,870 --> 00:25:24,240
admired and supported by a lot of

500
00:25:29,830 --> 00:25:26,880
working mothers supporting the their

501
00:25:31,909 --> 00:25:29,840
families could you give them some

502
00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:31,919
message to them

503
00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:33,520

and other people surrounding you

506
00:25:43,430 --> 00:25:41,200
which is not common in the japanese

507
00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:43,440
culture it is hard for us to say

508
00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:45,679
something even if we thank them please

509
00:25:49,510 --> 00:25:47,440

there is um

514
00:26:03,190 --> 00:26:00,640
no gender difference um in the space and

515
00:26:05,110 --> 00:26:03,200
i am so happy that

516
00:26:09,909 --> 00:26:05,120
um this kind of

517
00:26:14,390 --> 00:26:09,919
universe is ex expanded uh when dr mukai

518
00:26:15,990 --> 00:26:14,400
came to the space i was very inspired so

519
00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:16,000
um

520
00:26:22,549 --> 00:26:18,880
it has been 11 years for me to come to

521
00:26:25,190 --> 00:26:22,559
the space and so please do not rush when

522
00:26:27,110 --> 00:26:25,200
the time comes um

523
00:26:30,549 --> 00:26:27,120
anybody can come too

524
00:26:34,310 --> 00:26:30,559
and um it was not only my

525
00:26:35,669 --> 00:26:34,320
my capability but my family husband

526
00:26:39,029 --> 00:26:35,679
children

527

and other people supported me and it is

528
00:26:45,029 --> 00:26:42,159
hard for me to say thank you

529
00:26:47,110 --> 00:26:45,039
but uh i do not want to forget about the

530
00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:47,120
gratitude towards the family and other

531
00:26:52,390 --> 00:26:49,520
people surrounding me

532
00:26:55,590 --> 00:26:52,400
my name is okuno from mainichi shimbun

533
00:26:58,549 --> 00:26:55,600
and this question is miss yamazaki and

534
00:27:01,909 --> 00:26:58,559
mr noguchi too

535
00:27:04,149 --> 00:27:01,919
this is a question about iss the value

536
00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:04,159
of keeping the iss

537
00:27:09,029 --> 00:27:06,720
space station is discussed in japan as

538
00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:09,039
well as in other countries

539
00:27:12,470 --> 00:27:10,320
and

540
00:27:15,350 --> 00:27:12,480
could both of you express the meaning

541
00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:15,360
and the value of it as a human being

542
00:27:23,029 --> 00:27:18,080
actually lived in a and executed the

543
00:27:29,350 --> 00:27:25,990
the international space station after i

544
00:27:32,870 --> 00:27:29,360
lived for a while is that

545
00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:32,880
i felt that the cooperation and the

546
00:27:37,830 --> 00:27:34,559
peacefulness

547
00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:37,840
of the world corporation is sparked and

548
00:27:41,909 --> 00:27:40,640
we have to communicate that one to other

549
00:27:45,190 --> 00:27:41,919
people too

550
00:27:48,149 --> 00:27:45,200
and in the science uh field as well the

551
00:27:52,549 --> 00:27:48,159
cultural field can be expanded having

552
00:27:54,789 --> 00:27:52,559
iss so international cooperation and the

553
00:27:57,190 --> 00:27:54,799
presence of japan can be expressed

554
00:28:00,470 --> 00:27:57,200
through iss i think what do you think

555
00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:05,430
station yes the iss is the miniature

556
00:28:09,909 --> 00:28:07,200
us i think

557
00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:09,919
international cooperation is there

558
00:28:12,950 --> 00:28:11,600
and

559
00:28:17,909 --> 00:28:12,960
resources

560
00:28:21,269 --> 00:28:17,919
the essence of the

561
00:28:25,430 --> 00:28:21,279
resource of the of the earth is here so

562
00:28:27,669 --> 00:28:25,440
we are recycling water and air and also

563
00:28:32,230 --> 00:28:27,679
we are doing a lot of activities over

564
00:28:34,710 --> 00:28:32,240
here so um those experience can be taken

565
00:28:37,909 --> 00:28:34,720
advantage of the activities of that of

566
00:28:41,269 --> 00:28:39,350
my name is

567
00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:41,279
nhk

568
00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:42,240
and

569
00:28:46,149 --> 00:28:44,720
it has been 11 years since you are

570
00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:46,159
adopted

571
00:28:50,789 --> 00:28:47,200
and

572
00:28:52,389 --> 00:28:50,799
was it worth waiting for these 11 years

573
00:28:55,350 --> 00:28:52,399
and um

574
00:28:57,830 --> 00:28:55,360
since there are four women over there in

575
00:29:01,909 --> 00:28:57,840
the up in the space did you do anything

576
00:29:07,430 --> 00:29:04,149
i think even if it

577
00:29:10,470 --> 00:29:07,440
takes so many years um it is worth

578
00:29:15,029 --> 00:29:10,480
coming over here the sunset and sunrise

579
00:29:17,590 --> 00:29:15,039
is so beautiful the atmosphere uh grows

580
00:29:18,630 --> 00:29:17,600
like a rainbow color and it is so

581
00:29:19,430 --> 00:29:18,640
beautiful

582
00:29:22,549 --> 00:29:19,440
um

583
00:29:29,350 --> 00:29:22,559
for four of us we are taking uh pictures

584
00:29:35,990 --> 00:29:32,389
this question is mr noguchi

585
00:29:39,590 --> 00:29:36,000
and this is the first time two japanese

588
00:29:48,630 --> 00:29:45,120

589
00:29:52,830 --> 00:29:48,640
about her and uh do you communicate in

590
00:29:54,789 --> 00:29:52,840
in japanese language when you are off

591
00:29:57,190 --> 00:29:54,799
off-duty

592
00:29:59,750 --> 00:29:57,200
i was so happy to tell you the truth

593
00:30:03,190 --> 00:29:59,760
because uh one of my colleagues came to

594
00:30:05,510 --> 00:30:03,200
the space so i was nostalgic and i was

595
00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:05,520
really happy to see her

596
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:09,600
in the off-duty time and

597
00:30:14,389 --> 00:30:12,320
on duty time too the

598
00:30:17,750 --> 00:30:14,399
loading and reloading

599
00:30:20,549 --> 00:30:17,760
activity was done together so we were

600
00:30:24,149 --> 00:30:20,559
communicating in japanese language so i

601
00:30:26,389 --> 00:30:24,159
talked a lot of japanese this time

602
00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:26,399

603
00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:29,760

604
00:30:39,669 --> 00:30:35,350
your duty was lord master and you

605
00:30:41,669 --> 00:30:39,679
manipulate it also the robotic arms and

606
00:30:44,230 --> 00:30:41,679
if you are going to come back to the

607
00:30:47,269 --> 00:30:44,240
space again what type of job would you

608
00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:51,430
in a mission

609
00:30:57,509 --> 00:30:55,190
i enjoyed um all the missions

610
00:31:00,389 --> 00:30:57,519
this time the robotic

611
00:31:01,190 --> 00:31:00,399
manipulation and the lord masters job

612
00:31:04,950 --> 00:31:01,200

613
00:31:08,230 --> 00:31:04,960
and the payload activities everything

614
00:31:10,549 --> 00:31:08,240
was so enjoyable so

615
00:31:13,190 --> 00:31:10,559

619
00:31:27,350 --> 00:31:25,350
and this is the last question to miss

620
00:31:29,830 --> 00:31:27,360
yamazaki

621
00:31:31,110 --> 00:31:29,840
this is the last japanese shuttle

622
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:31,120
mission

623
00:31:35,430 --> 00:31:33,360
and uh what would you like to

624
00:31:37,269 --> 00:31:35,440
communicate to the japanese people and

625
00:31:40,070 --> 00:31:37,279
what would you like to bring back from

626
00:31:42,950 --> 00:31:40,080
the space to the arts

627
00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:42,960
thank you very much for your question

628
00:31:50,950 --> 00:31:48,470
this might be the

629
00:31:55,110 --> 00:31:50,960
last japanese shuttle mission but the

630
00:31:56,389 --> 00:31:55,120
space exploration does not end so uh we

631
00:31:58,630 --> 00:31:56,399
have uh

632
00:32:00,789 --> 00:31:58,640
infinite potential in the space and

633
00:32:03,750 --> 00:32:00,799
there are a lot of technological

634
00:32:04,789 --> 00:32:03,760
development expected

635
00:32:07,110 --> 00:32:04,799
so

636
00:32:09,509 --> 00:32:07,120
in the kibo

637
00:32:12,789 --> 00:32:09,519
and all the operation

638
00:32:15,029 --> 00:32:12,799
of the iss can be brought back to the

639
00:32:17,990 --> 00:32:15,039
earth and then

640
00:32:19,350 --> 00:32:18,000
taking advantage of to the

641
00:32:22,310 --> 00:32:19,360
future

642
00:32:24,870 --> 00:32:22,320
space exploration and space development

643
00:32:31,430 --> 00:32:27,830
discovery iss this is houston acr thank

644
00:32:37,430 --> 00:32:34,710
