1
00:00:05,660 --> 00:00:03,889
the three men headed to the

2
00:00:08,629 --> 00:00:05,670
International Space Station to join

3
00:00:10,190 --> 00:00:08,639
expedition 25 start their mission with

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:10,200
more than a year and a half of

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:12,690
spaceflight experience among them even

6
00:00:18,010 --> 00:00:14,730
though one is a first-time flyer and

7
00:00:21,410 --> 00:00:18,020
another has spent three weeks on orbit

8
00:00:23,810 --> 00:00:21,420
US Navy captain Scott Kelly was born in

9
00:00:26,810 --> 00:00:23,820
Orange New Jersey a year before the

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:26,820
first Gemini mission as a boy growing up

11
00:00:31,070 --> 00:00:29,130
in nearby West Orange he remembered the

12
00:00:33,170 --> 00:00:31,080
first moon landing but being an

13
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:33,180
astronaut wasn't exactly high on his

14
00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:36,510
agenda when I was a kid I was interested

15
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:38,760
in being an astronaut like a lot of kids

16
00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:40,710
are interested in being an astronaut

17
00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:42,420
because it seems like an exciting job

18
00:00:46,910 --> 00:00:43,950
you know it was also interested in

19
00:00:50,930 --> 00:00:46,920
playing baseball for the Mets and you

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:50,940
know racecar driver and other more

21
00:00:56,450 --> 00:00:53,489
realistic things I think is I got older

22
00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:56,460
the realistic occupation that eventually

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:00:59,039
grabbed Kelly's attention was flying for

24
00:01:04,429 --> 00:01:01,530
the military and not just any old

25
00:01:05,810 --> 00:01:04,439
fighter pilot job would do I chose the

26
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:05,820
Navy over the Air Force because I

27
00:01:09,469 --> 00:01:07,619
thought landing on the ship would be

28
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:09,479
harder than and more challenging than

29
00:01:14,690 --> 00:01:12,000
landing on a runway and I was right so

30
00:01:16,940 --> 00:01:14,700
he joined the naval ROTC at the State

31
00:01:18,980 --> 00:01:16,950
University of New York maritime college

32
00:01:21,260 --> 00:01:18,990
and earned a Bachelor of Science in

33
00:01:23,149 --> 00:01:21,270
electrical engineering after pilot

34
00:01:25,490 --> 00:01:23,159
training and a few years of overseas

35
00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:25,500
deployment in a Fighter Squadron Kelly

36
00:01:29,390 --> 00:01:27,030
was selected for the Navy test pilot

37
00:01:31,580 --> 00:01:29,400
school and then earned a master's in

38
00:01:34,850 --> 00:01:31,590
aviation systems from the University of

39
00:01:37,460 --> 00:01:34,860
Tennessee in 1996 the same year he was

40
00:01:40,819 --> 00:01:37,470
selected as an astronaut in the same

41
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:40,829
class with his twin brother Mark Kelly

42
00:01:46,039 --> 00:01:43,530
was the pilot on the 1999 Hubble Space

43
00:01:48,350 --> 00:01:46,049
Telescope servicing mission commanded

44
00:01:50,660 --> 00:01:48,360
the 2007 shuttle flight that delivered

45
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:50,670
the International Space Station's S 5

46
00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:53,490
truss segment and sees this flight as

47
00:01:57,620 --> 00:01:56,159
the next challenge basically we fly in

48
00:01:59,359 --> 00:01:57,630
space to see if we can fly in space

49
00:02:00,740 --> 00:01:59,369
longer and if we want to venture away

50
00:02:02,899 --> 00:02:00,750
from our planet we need to know how to

51
00:02:05,330 --> 00:02:02,909
do that but then there's also the you

52
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:05,340
know the medical research we can do

53
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:09,170
onboard the material science the

54
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:13,130
you know other types of basic science

55
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:15,680
that are equally in my opinion important

56
00:02:20,860 --> 00:02:18,890
flight engineer alexander kaleri is one

57
00:02:23,170 --> 00:02:20,870
of the most experienced space travelers

58
00:02:25,930 --> 00:02:23,180
in history and should finish this flight

59
00:02:28,450 --> 00:02:25,940
ranked second for the most time spent on

60
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:28,460
orbit he was born and raised in your

61
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:31,040
mala a seaside town near the capital of

62
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:33,770
Latvia and Yuri Gagarin space flight is

63
00:02:40,450 --> 00:02:37,010
the only one he doesn't remember in

64
00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:40,460
August of 1961 then chairman Tito flew

65
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:43,030
it was the second flight one day flight

66
00:02:50,650 --> 00:02:46,910
and Bert was talked to so I can remember

67
00:02:54,790 --> 00:02:50,660
this flight very well and I was five and

68
00:02:58,150 --> 00:02:54,800
I can say that then I was seven or eight

69
00:03:01,450 --> 00:02:58,160
I have no doubts and I will be a

70
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:01,460
cosmonaut cullera was influenced by his

71
00:03:05,950 --> 00:03:03,860
father a navigator and paratrooper who

72
00:03:08,350 --> 00:03:05,960
became an engineer in civilian life and

73
00:03:11,020 --> 00:03:08,360
counseled his son that it might be more

74
00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:11,030
interesting to design spacecraft and fly

75
00:03:16,660 --> 00:03:14,209
them rather than just be a pilot at the

76
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:16,670
end of high school I looked through the

77
00:03:26,110 --> 00:03:19,310
list of Institute's in the Soviet Union

78
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:26,120
a thick book and I saw one Institute in

79
00:03:30,190 --> 00:03:28,190
Moscow Moscow Institute on physics and

80
00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:30,200
technology and one of the part of

81
00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:33,200
departments was called Department of air

82
00:03:39,310 --> 00:03:37,430
physics and Space Research they thought

83
00:03:41,890 --> 00:03:39,320
oh it's for me

84
00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:41,900
Oh Larry finished his degree at the

85
00:03:46,210 --> 00:03:43,910
Institute on a project with the Coryell

86
00:03:48,310 --> 00:03:46,220
of design bureau the forerunner of the

87
00:03:51,370 --> 00:03:48,320
spacecraft designer now known as the

88
00:03:52,780 --> 00:03:51,380
rocket space corporation Energia he went

89
00:03:55,090 --> 00:03:52,790
to work for anarchy a right out of

90
00:03:56,890 --> 00:03:55,100
college developing design and test

91
00:03:59,500 --> 00:03:56,900
documentation for the MIR space station

92
00:04:03,009 --> 00:03:59,510
and was selected as a cosmonaut of an

93
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:03,019
area in 1984 he made his first trip to

94
00:04:08,890 --> 00:04:05,690
space as flight engineer on Mir 11

95
00:04:11,020 --> 00:04:08,900
during Mir 22 he was a crew mate to

96
00:04:13,540 --> 00:04:11,030
three American astronauts during the

97
00:04:15,370 --> 00:04:13,550
shuttle Mir program and was on board to

98
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:15,380
fight the fire on that station in

99
00:04:21,250 --> 00:04:19,310
February 1997 calorie was on the MIR 28

100
00:04:22,420 --> 00:04:21,260
crew that prepared the Russian station

101
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:22,430
for deorbiting

102
00:04:25,659 --> 00:04:24,110
and was flight engineer on the

103
00:04:31,779 --> 00:04:25,669
International Space Station's expedition

104
00:04:34,060 --> 00:04:31,789
8 crew in 2003 and 2004 compiling 610

105
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:34,070
days on orbit on those four space

106
00:04:42,159 --> 00:04:38,210
flights why does he do what he does how

107
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:42,169
to explain the necessity of going behind

108
00:04:50,890 --> 00:04:46,490
the horizon it's very human quality so

109
00:04:54,159 --> 00:04:50,900
it's a maybe most valuable frontier from

110
00:04:59,010 --> 00:04:54,169
human for humankind space flights and

111
00:05:03,249 --> 00:04:59,020
going into space and the wheel off of

112
00:05:05,950 --> 00:05:03,259
orbit and in to the deep space flight

113
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:05,960
engineer Oleg skripochka was born in the

114
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:08,210
city of Nevin no misc in the Stavropol

115
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:10,370
region in the North Caucasus his

116
00:05:15,370 --> 00:05:12,770
father's military career meant moves to

117
00:05:17,830 --> 00:05:15,380
many locations including Russia's Far

118
00:05:19,570 --> 00:05:17,840
Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula before

119
00:05:22,749 --> 00:05:19,580
finally settling in the city of

120
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:22,759
Zaporozhye in southeastern Ukraine as a

121
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:24,770
young boy skripochka wanted to be an

122
00:05:29,939 --> 00:05:28,880
officer like his father when my plans

123
00:05:33,490 --> 00:05:29,949
changed

124
00:05:36,939 --> 00:05:33,500
and then probably in the ninth grade I

125
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:36,949
was about 15 years old I happened to

126
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:40,310
hear from a classmate that we do have an

127
00:05:45,159 --> 00:05:42,560
organization that prepares future

128
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:45,169
cosmonauts skripochka talked his way

129
00:05:50,710 --> 00:05:47,930
into this young cosmonaut school where

130
00:05:55,930 --> 00:05:50,720
lessons in skydiving and scuba were just

131
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:55,940
a part of the curriculum classes on

132
00:06:00,430 --> 00:05:58,370
cosmonautics on the hardware and

133
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:00,440
technologies that is used in space also

134
00:06:05,140 --> 00:06:03,289
just general philosophical issues such

135
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:05,150
as why we're doing this and where we

136
00:06:09,999 --> 00:06:07,970
want to go from here when he travelled

137
00:06:12,370 --> 00:06:10,009
to Moscow as part of the school's team

138
00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:12,380
for the coil of reading competition he

139
00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:14,240
was introduced to the Bauman Moscow

140
00:06:19,060 --> 00:06:16,639
State Technical University and cemented

141
00:06:21,129 --> 00:06:19,070
his choice of college skripochka earned

142
00:06:23,890 --> 00:06:21,139
his degree in mechanical engineering at

143
00:06:26,770 --> 00:06:23,900
Bauman while working at RSC Energia as a

144
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:26,780
metal worker and technician he became a

145
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:29,690
design engineer after graduation and was

146
00:06:35,330 --> 00:06:32,110
selected as an inert 'ya cosmonaut in

147
00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:35,340
1997 so I think that it's

148
00:06:42,350 --> 00:06:37,199
just an inherent nature of a human being

149
00:06:46,070 --> 00:06:42,360
to expand to research earth is the

150
00:06:47,659 --> 00:06:46,080
cradle of our civilization but it is

151
00:06:49,939 --> 00:06:47,669
possible right now it's not the best

152
00:06:53,150 --> 00:06:49,949
time for us but I think it's temporary

153
00:06:55,460 --> 00:06:53,160
and we will move forward and move beyond
