00:00:04,150 --> 00:00:02,310
station this is houston acr please stand

2
00:00:05,910 --> 00:00:04,160
by for a voice check from the johnson

3
00:00:08,629 --> 00:00:05,920
space center

4
00:00:12,629 --> 00:00:08,639
station this is jscpao how do you hear

5
00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:17,109
jcpao we've got you loud and clear

6
00:00:21,910 --> 00:00:19,680
good morning and congratulations

7
00:00:23,830 --> 00:00:21,920
this is mark caro representing aviation

8
00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:23,840
week and space technology and i have a

9
00:00:28,390 --> 00:00:26,080
couple questions for you

10
00:00:30,870 --> 00:00:28,400
what in what in your minds is most

11
00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:30,880
remarkable about the achievement

12
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:33,440
of 10 years of continuous habitation in

13
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:41,510
well i think what you said in itself is

14
00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:44,399
as a remarkable achievement 10 years of

15
00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:45,280
constant

16
00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:48,239
habitation in space is an amazing

17
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:50,480
achievement in itself and

18
00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:52,640
i think along with that just assembling

19
00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:54,239
the space station while we're living in

20
00:01:00,389 --> 00:00:56,719
it is a remarkable remarkable

21
00:01:04,789 --> 00:01:03,029
thanks i wonder if you might uh

22
00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:04,799
maybe a couple of you kind of look in

23
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:08,080
your crystal ball and uh

24
00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:10,000
and explain what sort of rings out to

25
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:11,280
you

26
00:01:14,230 --> 00:01:13,040
might be the biggest challenges to

27
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:14,240
sustaining

28
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:16,080
your continuous presence on the space

29
00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:19,200
station what's what's out there that

30
00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:20,960
that really

31
00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:23,119
could upset this

32
00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:32,710
well i think with the uh you know the

33
00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:34,560
imminent uh retirement of the space

34
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:36,960
shuttle logistics is uh certainly a

35
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:39,200
challenge it's uh i think a challenge we

36
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:42,000
will meet but uh you know clearly when

37
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:44,720
we lose the capability to to fly the

38
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:47,280
amount of mass up and down uh

39
00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:49,680
that the space shuttle provides we've uh

40
00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:51,439
you know lost a significant capability

41
00:01:56,789 --> 00:01:54,880
but i do think we will be able to

42
00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:56,799
you know continue

43
00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:58,719
uh supporting the space station but

44
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:00,399
certainly it will be difficult without

45
00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:06,069
station this is houston acr please stand

46
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:07,680
by for a voice check from the kennedy

47
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:14,150
station this is kscpao how do you hear

48
00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:19,430
kennedy space center we have you loud

49
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:20,959
and clear welcome aboard the space

50
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:23,520
station

51
00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:25,040
hi this is robert perlman with

52
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:26,879
collectspace.com

53
00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:29,280
ten years ago bill shepard initiated the

54
00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:32,160
space station's ship's log

55
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:33,440
i wonder if

56
00:02:38,470 --> 00:02:35,280
if you've noted the passing of the first

57
00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:38,480
decade in that log or if you will and if

58
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:51,509
written uh that's a good question robert

59
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:53,920
yes the ship's log is here it's uh it's

60
00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:55,760
actually near the bell that was uh that

61
00:03:00,869 --> 00:02:58,400
was brought up as well to ring uh to

62
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:00,879
bring new uh visiting vehicles aboard

63
00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:03,280
and uh and to sound their departure as

64
00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:06,640
well and um i've read uh some of the uh

65
00:03:10,149 --> 00:03:08,480
things in there i have not written uh my

66
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:10,159
piece in there yet uh i've been thinking

67
00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:12,480
about it and probably will do so in the

68
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:14,959
next couple of weeks probably we'll wait

69
00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:18,000
till uh uh the crew of discovery uh uh

70
00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:20,159
land safely back home and then

71
00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:21,440
sort of put my thoughts in there but

72
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:23,360
it's it's fun to read and

73
00:03:28,869 --> 00:03:24,560
and to look at other people's

74
00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:32,149
and in uh preparation for uh first

75
00:03:36,309 --> 00:03:34,000
marking today i spent a little bit of

76
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:36,319
time flipping through photos um from the

77
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:38,640
past decade and and noticed that there

78
00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:40,560
were there were personal items left

79
00:03:42,869 --> 00:03:42,080
behind by uh

80
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:42,879
by

81
00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:45,280
prior crews penance and and even action

82
00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:47,040
figures i wonder how often you come

83
00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:48,560
across these and are reminded of the

84
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:50,080
prior crews that have come through the

85
00:04:04,470 --> 00:03:51,120
station

86
00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:06,550
scott scott's holding up a little robo

87
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:08,959
guy that's left there that uh

88
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:10,560
that someone had brought as a little

89
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:13,280
mascot for their robotic operations and

90
00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:16,000
we do see these uh these small uh uh

91
00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:18,239
things that uh we're unable to take home

92
00:04:21,509 --> 00:04:19,359
with us for

93
00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:21,519
whatever reason or they're left here uh

94
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:25,360
as a as a sort of a token or a mascot

95
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:28,800
for those that come come after but we do

96
00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:31,600
uh often run across uh

97
00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:34,720
things left uh you know notes left uh by

98
00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:35,520
uh

99
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:37,919
former crews and that's it's kind of

100
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:38,960
neat to get

101
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:42,160
um the crew that left left us left us a

102
00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:44,160
nice note in the cupola

103
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:46,320
and i think it's more

104
00:04:52,230 --> 00:04:48,160
it's more thoughts and very small

105
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:53,909
yeah robert if i could uh just add

106
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:55,600
something you know some of the some of

107
00:04:58,870 --> 00:04:57,280
the things are left intentionally like

108
00:05:02,469 --> 00:04:58,880
like doug was saying

109
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:02,479
uh some you run across are unintentional

110
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:06,160
sometimes useful sometimes not

111
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:08,160
tracy caldwell left me her spoon which

112
00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:16,950
hi this is denise chao representing

113
00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:20,320
space.com first of all congratulations

114
00:05:24,790 --> 00:05:22,720
my question is uh if the space station

115
00:05:26,469 --> 00:05:24,800
program has extended you know through

116
00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:26,479
2020 and beyond

117
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:28,320
for the next 10 years how do you

118
00:05:32,469 --> 00:05:30,400
envision that living and working aboard

119
00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:32,479
the space station will be different and

120
00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:40,870
well i think

121
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:42,240
for the next

122
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:44,320
many years however however many it is

123
00:05:48,629 --> 00:05:46,880
that the space station is is going uh

124
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:48,639
life for six crew on board is going to

125
00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:49,759
be very similar to what we're

126
00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:51,840
experiencing now

127
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:54,000
we have to maintain the station we have

128
00:05:57,670 --> 00:05:56,240
our science experiments to do and that

129
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:57,680
certainly will all continue in the

130
00:06:02,309 --> 00:05:59,600
future so i think we'll get into a nice

131
00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:02,319
steady state pattern of of living and

132
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:09,830
and how have each of you individually

133
00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:11,840
helped to make the station a home for

134
00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:24,150
well you know we have um i i haven't

135
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:25,840
been here very long less than a month

136
00:06:30,629 --> 00:06:28,400
but we have these uh crew quarters uh

137
00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:30,639
that we sleep in that are kind of

138
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:32,560
you know somewhat personalized with uh

139
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:34,960
you know personal items pictures uh

140
00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:37,680
things you you bring you know on a

141
00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:39,360
personal level so

142
00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:41,520
that makes it uh you know having those

143
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:43,120
those kind of items there makes it

144
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,400
somewhat uh

145
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:46,479
you know more like home i guess you

146
00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:52,469
hi everyone it's bill harwood with cbs

147
00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:53,759
news and uh

148
00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:55,599
i'd like to ask alexander kaleri if i

149
00:06:58,950 --> 00:06:57,919
could a little bit uh to mark the 10th

150
00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:58,960
anniversary you're one of the most

151
00:07:02,309 --> 00:07:00,960
veteran cosmonauts around and i'm i'm

152
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:02,319
wondering what your impressions are of

153
00:07:05,430 --> 00:07:04,000
the lab now versus when you were there

154
00:07:07,189 --> 00:07:05,440
before and and

155
00:07:10,469 --> 00:07:07,199
and how you think the station can be

156
00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:10,479
sustained after the shuttle uh stops

157
00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:24,550
lap is very similar to the

158
00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:25,520
to

159
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:26,639
that

160
00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:30,560
war seven years ago than i was here with

161
00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:33,440
mike fall in expedition 8

162
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:38,000
but there are some new modules and

163
00:07:41,189 --> 00:07:39,680
it's amazing and

164
00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:41,199
it's good

165
00:07:45,029 --> 00:07:43,120
it's well known from

166
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:45,039
ground simulators

167
00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:49,120
but weightlessness is beautiful here

168
00:07:59,350 --> 00:07:55,430
shuttle stopping i think that

169
00:08:02,550 --> 00:07:59,360
it's not a real problem to supply

170
00:08:04,469 --> 00:08:02,560
the station and with consumables and

171
00:08:08,469 --> 00:08:04,479
some

172
00:08:11,029 --> 00:08:08,479
but i think it's real cheering real

173
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:11,039
problem to deliver the

174
00:08:14,150 --> 00:08:12,400
results

175
00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:14,160
now we can

176
00:08:21,909 --> 00:08:17,919
deliver only data digital data

177
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:21,919
but some sometimes it's necessary to

178
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:22,720
to

179
00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:24,080
bring back

180
00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:27,120
some physical items like biotechnology

181
00:08:30,550 --> 00:08:29,360
biology and

182
00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:30,560
so on

183
00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:32,959
so it's a problem but i think it will be

184
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:37,829
thanks and and and uh scott if i could

185
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:40,000
ask you a similar question

186
00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:41,440
we were we were told at the pre-fight

187
00:08:43,909 --> 00:08:42,719
briefing john shannon was saying you

188
00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:43,919
know if they didn't get permission to

189
00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:46,959
fly 135 that in 2012 the station would

190
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:48,959
really be in a crunch logistically uh if

191
00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:50,560
some of the commercial guys don't step

192
00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:52,560
up and get their vehicles flying

193
00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:54,399
he was implying that there might be some

194
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:55,600
chance you have to go back down to a

195
00:08:58,870 --> 00:08:57,120
crew size of three

196
00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:58,880
if the commercial guys didn't step up

197
00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:00,959
how big of an impact would that be if

198
00:09:04,630 --> 00:09:02,560
that happens down the road and you have

199
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:04,640
to go back down to three people and i

200
00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:06,160
guess just your confidence level that

201
00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:14,550
well it certainly have an impact on you

202
00:09:18,710 --> 00:09:16,480
know our ability to to do what we're

203
00:09:20,949 --> 00:09:18,720
doing now the science maintaining the

204
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:20,959
space station

205
00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:23,760
we as a crew of six are all of us are

206
00:09:28,949 --> 00:09:26,240
busy practically all the time so

207
00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:28,959
uh clearly there's an impact and and uh

208
00:09:31,670 --> 00:09:30,720
you know how

209
00:09:33,829 --> 00:09:31,680
what

210
00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:33,839
areas of station operations are impacted

211
00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:36,080
it'll have to be you know a decision the

212
00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:41,430
but clearly you know six people can do

213
00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:44,000
twice as much work as three

214
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:47,279
um my confidence on whether or not

215
00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:48,640
that'll happen

216
00:09:53,269 --> 00:09:50,640
you know that's not a really a good

217
00:09:55,269 --> 00:09:53,279
question for me to answer i'm not you

218
00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:55,279
know i'm familiar with this increment

219
00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:56,399
and

220
00:10:02,470 --> 00:09:58,640
you know what the uh

221
00:10:05,509 --> 00:10:02,480
the plan is to resupply the the station

222
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:05,519
with spares and other logistical items

223
00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:06,880
years from now

224
00:10:11,590 --> 00:10:09,760
is uh you know not something i'm i'm an

225
00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:11,600
expert on but

226
00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:13,440
you know like like sasha said i think

227
00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:15,120
it's uh you know it's

228
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:17,120
a challenge that we

229
00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:18,800
will be able to meet

230
00:10:22,069 --> 00:10:20,640
but certainly it's it's going to be a

231
00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:22,079
challenge

232
00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:23,680
thanks a lot and one last quick one for

233
00:10:27,190 --> 00:10:25,760
me it's election day down here and uh i

234
00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:27,200
know the discovery crew said they all

235
00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:28,480
voted before they flew to florida just

236
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:29,680
wondering if you guys got a chance to

237
00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:31,680
vote the americans before you before you

238
00:10:40,470 --> 00:10:37,829
yeah actually all three of us uh did

239
00:10:42,790 --> 00:10:40,480
vote um i'm not sure when doug and

240
00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:42,800
shannon voted i know they voted on board

241
00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:45,200
uh like i did i voted on uh

on sunday through a uh electronic email

243
00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:50,320
system that actually we have

244
00:10:56,069 --> 00:10:53,440
uh that i think texas actually passed a

245
00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:56,079
law uh where we could vote from space

246
00:10:59,590 --> 00:10:57,040
and uh

247
00:11:01,829 --> 00:10:59,600

248
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:01,839
an honor and a privilege to exercise our

249
00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:03,760

associated with the iss it's extremely

262
00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:38,880
impressive 10 years continuous

264
00:11:45,430 --> 00:11:43,519

our celebration actually and then we're

284
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:41,350
hello my name is saint petersburg and uh

285
00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:43,120
channel five i have a question to the

286
00:12:46,870 --> 00:12:45,040
russian cosmonauts first of all

287
00:12:50,310 --> 00:12:46,880
congratulations

288
00:12:53,509 --> 00:12:50,320
and second i do have any tradition which

289
00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:53,519
has been kept on board for 10 years

290
00:12:58,150 --> 00:12:55,440
further this is not your first time in

291
00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:58,160
flight could you tell us uh how the

292
00:13:01,430 --> 00:12:59,760
station changed

293
00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:01,440
in front of your eyes and what you were

294
00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:19,190
i would say

295
00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:21,600
it's like a baby you see a baby has been

296
00:13:27,430 --> 00:13:23,279
born and then

297
00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:27,440
the child has his 10th birthday and

298
00:13:31,750 --> 00:13:29,680
now he's intelligent and

299
00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:31,760
his wondering has questions and that's

300
00:13:37,269 --> 00:13:34,800
like the station looks it's quite big it

301
00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:37,279
has lots of volume

302
00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:40,720
and it's grown up it's it's nearly done

303
00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:42,800
as regards the traditions i would say

304
00:13:49,350 --> 00:13:44,800
that the imagination for me

305
00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:50,949
do everything they can

306
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:51,839
they

307
00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:53,839
put their heart their soul in what

308
00:13:57,590 --> 00:13:56,079
they're doing during their lush time and

309
00:13:59,670 --> 00:13:57,600
during their

310
00:14:01,590 --> 00:13:59,680
business hours and this is probably the

311
00:14:02,710 --> 00:14:01,600
main tradition then second tradition is

312
00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:02,720
that

313
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:05,360
there are no u.s citizens there are no

314
00:14:09,030 --> 00:14:07,360
japanese citizens there are no russians

315
00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:09,040
in our crew

316
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:11,920
what we have is like our crew we have

317
00:14:15,509 --> 00:14:14,480
doug we have scott we have oleg we have

318
00:14:17,269 --> 00:14:15,519
shannon

319
00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:17,279
we have alexander

320
00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:18,240
and uh

321
00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:20,720
the main tradition is that the crew

322
00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:23,040
has its crew members independent of

323
00:14:32,790 --> 00:14:28,829
hello my name

324
00:14:34,069 --> 00:14:32,800
is i'm from karalov tv

325
00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:34,079
in what manner are you going to

326
00:14:41,829 --> 00:14:35,920
celebrate the 10th anniversary and if

327
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:45,750
meet me

328
00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:48,710
but by hard labor not only

329
00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:50,880
the way it used to be in our country

330
00:14:54,389 --> 00:14:53,199
also in our countries and

331
00:14:56,389 --> 00:14:54,399
generally speaking this is the first

332
00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:56,399
time we're all together here

333
00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:58,800
are we going to have a joint dinner yes

334
00:15:03,110 --> 00:15:00,720
we're going to because that's the way we

335
00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:03,120
have it each and every day

336
00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:05,360
and probably today our dinner will take

337
00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:07,760
place so in the sm module in the service

338
00:15:12,230 --> 00:15:10,079
module the way it used to be 10 years

339
00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:12,240
ago and i hope micro members agree with

340
00:15:21,509 --> 00:15:14,240
me yes they're okay then that's the way

341
00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:25,829
hello this is a dmitry interfax

342
00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:26,560
have

343
00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:28,959
a question to fear

344
00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:31,199
i'm sorry to alexander

345
00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:32,480
what is

346
00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:34,720
your view on the uh technical abilities

347
00:15:39,749 --> 00:15:36,959
of the station can we extend its life

348
00:15:41,590 --> 00:15:39,759
beyond 2020 and what needs to be done

349
00:15:45,189 --> 00:15:41,600
for that

350
00:15:48,310 --> 00:15:45,199
and question number two to theodore

351
00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:48,320
were you disappointed because of

352
00:15:57,829 --> 00:15:50,800
two evas previously planned and now only

353
00:16:01,430 --> 00:15:59,829
well i'm probably going to talk about

354
00:16:03,509 --> 00:16:01,440
the technical aspects of the station i

355
00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:03,519
think it's for the special decide how

356
00:16:07,990 --> 00:16:06,560
exactly to extend its life beyond 2020

357
00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:08,000
because there are lots of technical

358
00:16:10,949 --> 00:16:09,040
issues

359
00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:10,959
resources and

360
00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:13,600
something to be tested and to be

361
00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:16,399
concluded by tests but if the decision

362
00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:18,240
is made i don't see why the station

363
00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:19,440
cannot

364
00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:22,399
continue its operations

365
00:16:27,829 --> 00:16:25,360
i guess the main reason is uh our target

366
00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:27,839
what for our goals our aims or what do

367
00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:30,880
we need to keep the station alive and we

368
00:16:35,350 --> 00:16:32,800
have 10 years to answer this question

369
00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:35,360
and to understand for ourselves what

370
00:16:43,189 --> 00:16:37,600
exactly we need the station for and then

371
00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:46,230
regarding my evas so not only me all

372
00:16:54,310 --> 00:16:52,629
when we launched we thought there were

373
00:16:56,150 --> 00:16:54,320
going to be three events now we have

374
00:16:59,110 --> 00:16:56,160
only two and

375
00:17:01,829 --> 00:16:59,120
this very eva depends very much on what

376
00:17:04,150 --> 00:17:01,839
a program the orbiter will have and i

377
00:17:05,990 --> 00:17:04,160
hope the shuttle will launch and the eva

378
00:17:07,750 --> 00:17:06,000
will take place of course three is

379
00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:07,760
better than two but two is better than

380
00:17:20,710 --> 00:17:16,390
alexander kovalev from a renovation news

381
00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:20,720
agency a question to alexander kaleri

382
00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:27,510
you happen to

383
00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:29,840
work as a

384
00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:32,480
as a specialist to dock the progress

385
00:17:40,870 --> 00:17:38,789
could you tell us what exactly happened

386
00:17:51,669 --> 00:17:40,880
and why did you have to

387
00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:53,669
ground specialists they're the ones who

388
00:17:56,950 --> 00:17:55,600
analyze the situation who provide

389
00:17:59,510 --> 00:17:56,960
conclusions

390
00:18:02,150 --> 00:17:59,520
i was told to switch to

391
00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:02,160
manual docking and what was the reason

392
00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:04,640
for that i think you have to ask

393
00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:28,390
you uh took part in the uh

394
00:18:32,789 --> 00:18:31,280
questionnaire on the board station

395
00:18:34,789 --> 00:18:32,799
and is there something else that you

396
00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:34,799
have to do when you're up there what

397
00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:49,909
we celebrated uh by uh we had a progress

398
00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:52,720
vehicle that came aboard and so uh

399
00:18:57,830 --> 00:18:55,760
um in in in the states we celebrate uh

400
00:18:59,750 --> 00:18:57,840
by uh dressing up and uh

401
00:19:03,190 --> 00:18:59,760
and going from uh home to home

402
00:19:05,830 --> 00:19:03,200
trick-or-treating uh for candy and uh

403
00:19:08,710 --> 00:19:05,840
so uh we had a progress vehicle that uh

404
00:19:11,590 --> 00:19:08,720
that came aboard on on saturday and so

405
00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:11,600
on halloween we were able to get our

406
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:14,480
our crew care packages from home

407
00:19:19,029 --> 00:19:16,799
and so we had uh we had lots of treats

408
00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:19,039
in there so and we celebrated just as a

409
00:19:33,909 --> 00:19:31,750
if oleg and i had had our eva prior to

410
00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:33,919
halloween we would have taken orange

411
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:36,720
paint and we would have painted per or

412
00:19:55,350 --> 00:19:53,029
could you let us know what scientific

413
00:20:06,789 --> 00:19:55,360
experiments are taking place as of now

414
00:20:10,149 --> 00:20:08,070
there's a wide range of experiments

415
00:20:12,630 --> 00:20:10,159
taking place

416
00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:12,640
this is a fluid behavior in the

417
00:20:20,710 --> 00:20:16,950
then uh

418
00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:20,720
crystal growing protein crystal growing

419
00:20:24,870 --> 00:20:23,760
and if our eva does take place we're

420
00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:24,880
going to

421
00:20:30,470 --> 00:20:28,320
mount certain hardware let's say a rock

422
00:20:32,470 --> 00:20:30,480
station for mountain new scientific

423
00:20:34,789 --> 00:20:32,480
hardware

424
00:20:37,430 --> 00:20:34,799
yeah what's this to it in addition we're

425
00:20:38,789 --> 00:20:37,440
going to have some research

426
00:20:42,149 --> 00:20:38,799
looking into

427
00:20:45,190 --> 00:20:42,159
how a mission a space flight

428
00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:45,200
impacts the outer shell of the station

429
00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:48,080
etc etc etc i'd like to add something

430
00:20:56,149 --> 00:20:53,990
experiment the scientific program

431
00:20:58,630 --> 00:20:56,159
started 10 years ago with experiment a

432
00:21:04,230 --> 00:20:58,640
plasma crystal and now we started a new

433
00:21:09,190 --> 00:21:06,549
station this is houston acr that

434
00:21:10,789 --> 00:21:09,200
concludes questions from mccm

435
00:21:13,669 --> 00:21:10,799
please stand by for a voice check from

436
00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:13,679
jackson pao

437
00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:22,630
jaxa pao we have you loud and clear

438
00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:24,159
welcome aboard the international space

439
00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:42,870
the congratulations to you on the 10th

440
00:21:46,070 --> 00:21:44,880
anniversary

441
00:21:48,230 --> 00:21:46,080
last year

442
00:21:49,110 --> 00:21:48,240
kibo was complete

443
00:21:50,070 --> 00:21:49,120
and

444
00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:50,080
from

445
00:21:54,470 --> 00:21:52,880
the earth we are really amazed that the

446
00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:54,480
kibo

447
00:21:58,230 --> 00:21:55,280
is

448
00:21:59,270 --> 00:21:58,240
working really well and the how do you

449
00:22:02,470 --> 00:21:59,280
feel

450
00:22:04,950 --> 00:22:02,480
about it do you think that kibo is

451
00:22:08,070 --> 00:22:04,960
functioning well and have experienced

452
00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:08,080
any problem or trouble or communicating

453
00:22:19,669 --> 00:22:17,590
i think the kibo laboratory is is an

454
00:22:22,390 --> 00:22:19,679
extremely nice facility to have up here

455
00:22:23,590 --> 00:22:22,400
it's one of my favorite places to be on

456
00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:23,600
the station

457
00:22:28,070 --> 00:22:25,520
all the equipment functions very well

458
00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:28,080
and every experiment that i have worked

459
00:22:33,590 --> 00:22:29,520
on

460
00:22:52,789 --> 00:22:33,600
very well so i'm i'm

461
00:22:59,190 --> 00:22:55,830
a tough looking vehicle so what do you

462
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:08,870
r2 is a robot i mean

463
00:23:12,470 --> 00:23:10,630
well we're we're going to be glad to

464
00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:12,480
welcome robonaut aboard we're not we

465
00:23:15,909 --> 00:23:14,320
don't know too much about him so we're

466
00:23:18,630 --> 00:23:15,919
going to be a little apprehensive i

467
00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:18,640
think getting to know the new robot uh

468
00:23:23,270 --> 00:23:21,520
but i know there's a lot of uh uh

469
00:23:25,750 --> 00:23:23,280
just really sharp engineers that have

470
00:23:28,149 --> 00:23:25,760
worked on this project and we're we're

471
00:23:30,950 --> 00:23:28,159
very excited to add that to um

472
00:23:33,350 --> 00:23:30,960
to the technology that's on board and uh

473
00:23:35,830 --> 00:23:33,360
and actually get some data for them to

474
00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:35,840
be able to to expand a little bit on

475
00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:38,720
this robotic technology

476
00:24:02,710 --> 00:23:40,720
to assist us in the future both inside

477
00:24:06,470 --> 00:24:04,789
you are really veterans

478
00:24:10,230 --> 00:24:06,480
would you please hear us your

479
00:24:13,029 --> 00:24:10,240
observation about how this food on

480
00:24:15,430 --> 00:24:13,039
spaceship has changed over the last 10

481
00:24:25,350 --> 00:24:15,440
years and also i appreciate your comment

482
00:24:29,190 --> 00:24:27,110
well one of the great things about this

483
00:24:29,909 --> 00:24:29,200
being an international program is that

484
00:24:32,310 --> 00:24:29,919
we

485
00:24:35,269 --> 00:24:32,320
now have an international menu unlike on

486
00:24:37,510 --> 00:24:35,279
my my first flight which was a mission

487
00:24:40,070 --> 00:24:37,520
to the hubble space telescope hubble

488
00:24:41,909 --> 00:24:40,080
repair mission we only had the u.s menu

489
00:24:43,990 --> 00:24:41,919
and when you're in space for a really

490
00:24:46,070 --> 00:24:44,000
long time variety and

491
00:24:48,630 --> 00:24:46,080
in many things but particularly food is

492
00:24:49,510 --> 00:24:48,640
important so it's uh great to have the

493
00:24:52,070 --> 00:24:49,520
option

494
00:24:54,789 --> 00:24:52,080
of having the menu choices that this

495
00:25:06,789 --> 00:24:54,799
international partnership brings and

496
00:25:12,390 --> 00:25:09,190
my name is hayashi free writer i have a

497
00:25:25,430 --> 00:25:12,400
question for alexander kaleri you were

498
00:25:29,990 --> 00:25:27,750
space station to operate another 10

499
00:25:58,789 --> 00:25:30,000
years what is the most important thing

500
00:26:03,909 --> 00:26:02,070
i guess so there is no crisis right now

501
00:26:06,230 --> 00:26:03,919
at least that's our point of view the

502
00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:06,240
cruise point of view we work together we

503
00:26:09,510 --> 00:26:07,360
perform

504
00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:09,520
the activities where we're supposed to

505
00:26:13,669 --> 00:26:11,520
be formed so i guess if we continue to

506
00:26:32,470 --> 00:26:13,679
work together there is no way we might

507
00:26:36,950 --> 00:26:33,830
red shirts

508
00:26:41,669 --> 00:26:36,960
i wonder whether we can buy

509
00:26:49,590 --> 00:26:41,679
your shirts at nasa shops or nasa

510
00:26:53,029 --> 00:26:52,149
yes actually our cruise our crew shirts

511
00:26:55,110 --> 00:26:53,039
are

512
00:26:58,710 --> 00:26:55,120
we get them from a company in the us but

513
00:27:01,350 --> 00:26:58,720
uh they are available the the logo for

514
00:27:03,669 --> 00:27:01,360
for our mission is available as well and

515
00:27:05,669 --> 00:27:03,679
so they're avail available for purchase

516
00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:05,679
in any type of style or color that you'd

517
00:27:16,870 --> 00:27:11,669
station this is houston acr and um

518
00:27:21,750 --> 00:27:18,310
that concludes the event thank you all

519
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,430
okay thank you guys

520
00:27:30,070 --> 00:27:27,750
thank you to nasa administrator bolden

521
00:27:33,269 --> 00:27:30,080
