celebrated the 10th anniversary of uh

21
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:50,879
human occupation of the international

22
00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:53,360
space station uh i always like to tell

23
00:00:57,910 --> 00:00:55,120
people that you all are incredible

24
00:00:59,110 --> 00:00:57,920
ambassadors as you're there representing

00:01:01,510 --> 00:00:59,120
just two

26
00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:01,520
of the many nations that are partners in

27
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:03,680
the international space station uh what

28
00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:05,040
you do

29
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:07,360
is actually a modern day star trek if

30
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:08,640
you will

31
00:01:13,510 --> 00:01:11,040
kids are excited about watching you

32
00:01:16,149 --> 00:01:13,520
i'm excited and envious about watching

33
00:01:18,789 --> 00:01:16,159
my former dps instructor shannon walker

34
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:18,799
there as she has a lots of fun and looks

35
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:19,920
giddy

36
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:25,350
more than 196 people as you all know

37
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:28,320
have occupied the station uh since its

38
00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:31,280
uh its inception back in 2000

39
00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:33,680
and when my friends

40
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:38,079
bill shepard and sergey krikalov

41
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:40,400
joined their crew member in in becoming

42
00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:42,560
the first people to occupy

43
00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:45,360
as the expedition 1 crew

44
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:47,520
we never dreamed that we would be where

45
00:01:53,109 --> 00:01:50,240
we are today more than 600 experiments

46
00:01:56,069 --> 00:01:53,119
have been conducted there uh and more

47
00:01:58,149 --> 00:01:56,079
than 15 different nations uh represented

48
00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:58,159
by all of you so

49
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:00,719
let me ask you if if you have some

50
00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:02,320

00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:20,160
everyone that's gathered there it's it's

a real treat to uh to be here on the

58
00:02:27,430 --> 00:02:24,879
space station it is like a dream come

59
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:27,440
true and it's uh every day there's uh

60
00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:29,200
there's new excitement and new adventure

61
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:31,280
as we uh as we venture out in some of

62
00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:33,280
the science uh that we're that we're

63
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:35,519
doing and of course uh being here in

64
00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:36,800
space

65
00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:38,560
never ceases to amaze us at the

66
00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:41,200
surprises it has in store for us uh of

67
00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:42,879
course we have a vehicle we need to

68
00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:45,280
maintain and uh and science we need to

69
00:02:50,150 --> 00:02:48,080
conduct and so they are busy days but uh

70
00:02:52,949 --> 00:02:50,160
very very fruitful days and rewarding

71
00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:52,959
days and uh it's certainly also just a

72
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:54,400
tremendous pleasure

73
00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:56,800
to be working with our our nasa centers

74
00:03:00,309 --> 00:02:58,400
around the world our international

75
00:03:01,350 --> 00:03:00,319
partners all the different control

76
00:03:03,110 --> 00:03:01,360
centers

77
00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:03,120
of course our russian partners and just

78
00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:05,200
it's just a thrill to watch

79
00:03:08,949 --> 00:03:06,640
these things unfold we just had a

80
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:08,959
progress docking a couple of days ago

81
00:03:13,030 --> 00:03:11,120
and uh it's just it's just magical the

82
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:13,040
way that it all comes together and

83
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:14,720
we really appreciate

84
00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:16,800
and really can't it's impossible to do

85
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:19,040
without our ground control teams

86
00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:20,800
that are working so hard and all of our

87
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:23,200
engineers on the ground and we sure

88
00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:24,720
appreciate the opportunity to talk to

89
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:28,799
you on this tremendous anniversary and

90
00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,200
and those that have gone before us and

91
00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:33,519
i wanted we paid tribute to the uh the

92
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:36,239
mir station as well uh just recently and

93
00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:38,640
and the uh and the foundational work

94
00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:41,360
that they laid for us those early crews

95
00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:43,599
and uh trying to figure out how to build

96
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:46,480
a spaceship and uh space station and

97
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:48,640
conduct science and bring that science

98
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:51,200
back to earth so our our lives will be

99
00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:53,200
better on on our planet as well thank

100
00:04:03,110 --> 00:03:59,429
doug you know you mentioned uh mir and

101
00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:03,120
in my bag of trivia uh i note that on

102
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:05,599
the 25th of october you all actually

103
00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:08,480
eclipse mir as the the longest

104
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:11,519
continuous inhabited uh

105
00:04:17,310 --> 00:04:13,200
body in space

106
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:17,320
uh at that time you went over the the

107
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:20,560
3644 day mark that had been previously

108
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:23,680
set by the crews that occupied mir and

109
00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:24,960
uh you know it's it's kind of

110
00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:26,720
mind-boggling when you stop and think

111
00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:28,240
about the fact that you've done more

112
00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:31,360
than 57 000 orbits of earth and uh and

113
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:34,880
gone 100 gone 1.5 billion miles for the

114
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:37,120
statisticians it gives them something to

115
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:38,960
think about

116
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:40,240
i guess

117
00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:42,160
you all are probably as excited as we

118
00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:43,759
are about the pending launch of

119
00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:47,280
discovery in 133 uh just to let you know

120
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:49,040
how things are going here the crew is

121
00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:50,800
doing really well

122
00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:53,600
uh i saw steve lindsay out running

123
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:56,160
yesterday and told him to be careful

124
00:05:01,189 --> 00:04:57,840
because he was out dodging the

125
00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:01,199
alligators and the the wild pigs and the

126
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:02,240
cars

127
00:05:04,629 --> 00:05:03,840
here at ksc

128
00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:04,639
but

129
00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:06,639
we've got a forecast for for good

130
00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:07,600
weather

131
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:10,960
only a 30 chance of a no-go for whether

132
00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:13,360
the crews and the and the work persons

133
00:05:17,830 --> 00:05:15,600
down here at ksc really excited about

134
00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:17,840
getting discovery off on its uh what is

135
00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:20,320
to be its its final voyage

136
00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:21,600
discovery is

137
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:23,440
pretty tightly connected to station i

138
00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:25,919
think as all of you know because it was

139
00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:27,039
after

140
00:05:31,270 --> 00:05:29,680
bill shepard and sergey and yuri gazenko

141
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:31,280
became the first occupants of the

142
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,360
international space station

143
00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:35,520
it was discovery that brought them home

144
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:37,520
so discovery has done a number of

145
00:05:41,990 --> 00:05:39,680
historic things i could brag about my

146
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:42,000
involvement with it but i won't uh

147
00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:44,080
shannon knows about that very well

148
00:05:47,350 --> 00:05:45,919
because she prepared me

149
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:47,360
so that i wouldn't screw up the

150
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:49,360
computers

151
00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:50,960
and hopefully she's proud that she did

152
00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:53,759
that as and i'm as i am as proud of her

153
00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:56,080
as uh as i know she was with me back in

154
00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:57,360
those days but

155
00:06:09,350 --> 00:05:58,560
um

156
00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:13,110
oh i think it's going perfect now

157
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:15,840
a lot of new expressions and

158
00:06:22,469 --> 00:06:20,309
i knew something from our ground

159
00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:22,479
trainings but there are a lot of new on

160
00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:32,230
can be worked out on the ground thank

161
00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:38,870
yeah i think uh sergey krikalov who's

162
00:06:43,350 --> 00:06:40,479
now running uh

163
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:43,360
uh gctc the gagarin cosmonaut training

164
00:06:48,629 --> 00:06:46,400
center and was my crew member on sts 60

165
00:06:50,469 --> 00:06:48,639
and taught me an awful lot is quite

166
00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:50,479
proud of of all of you there on the

167
00:06:54,150 --> 00:06:52,319
station i don't know whether he's had an

168
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:54,160
opportunity to call and and wish you a

00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:17,759
the accomplishments maintaining human

180
00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:19,440
presence there are mind boggling when

181
00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:21,520
you really stop and think about it and

182
00:07:27,189 --> 00:07:23,440

and all the member nations of the

185
00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:30,639
european space agency are something

186
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:32,800
about which we can all be proud uh
