so

32
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:51,510
it's

station to see what i can do to make our

42
00:06:31,749 --> 00:06:10,560
dream

43
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:56,870
the balls

44
00:07:28,950 --> 00:06:58,629
he doesn't know how to write yet so

45
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:57,270
all right

46
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:14,710
this

47
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:29,110
so

48
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:41,990
ah

49
00:08:42,000 --> 00:09:17,350
wow

50
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:25,350
sure

51
00:09:25,360 --> 00:10:15,990
okay

52
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:18,710
you should be

53
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:58,150
um

54
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:13,110
is

55
00:12:27,190 --> 00:11:14,190
at all

56
00:13:19,670 --> 00:12:41,910
so

57
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:34,470
yes

58
00:13:34,480 --> 00:14:07,430
uh

59
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:21,910
so

60
00:14:44,160 --> 00:15:10,470
uh

61
00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:12,389
i see

62
00:15:39,440 --> 00:16:27,990
is

63
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:42,230
what's up

64
00:18:14,710 --> 00:17:52,710
so

65
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:35,590
what happened

66
00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:38,230
peggy whitson nasa chief astronaut peggy

67
00:18:43,990 --> 00:18:41,440
the tma20 about to be hoisted on the pad

68
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:44,000
multinational crew ready to launch how

69
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:45,760
is katie doing what is her level of

70
00:18:50,230 --> 00:18:47,840
readiness for a complex mission

71
00:18:51,909 --> 00:18:50,240
katie is very excited about going

72
00:18:54,549 --> 00:18:51,919
they got to say

73
00:18:56,230 --> 00:18:54,559
their goodbyes to their family yesterday

74
00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:56,240
and actually i think they'll get to see

75
00:18:59,669 --> 00:18:58,320
them once again today but they're all

76
00:19:01,750 --> 00:18:59,679
prepared to go

77
00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:01,760
this is uh going to be an incredibly

78
00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:03,520
complex increment

79
00:19:07,029 --> 00:19:05,280
multiple vehicles you almost need a

80
00:19:09,029 --> 00:19:07,039
traffic cop at the international space

81
00:19:11,190 --> 00:19:09,039
station how is it going to be for five

82
00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:11,200
months for she and paolo and dimitri

83
00:19:14,549 --> 00:19:12,880
well it's going to be a very busy time

84
00:19:16,870 --> 00:19:14,559
for all of them they'll be joining the

85
00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:16,880
crew of three up there already

86
00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:18,640
but it's going to be i think a very

87
00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:20,400
exciting time because there are so many

88
00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:22,400
vehicles with the european automated

89
00:19:27,750 --> 00:19:25,200
transfer vehicle the japanese htv two

90
00:19:29,510 --> 00:19:27,760
progresses a couple of shuttles we hope

91
00:19:31,029 --> 00:19:29,520
and it'll keep them entertained very

92
00:19:33,669 --> 00:19:31,039
much so

93
00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:33,679
the uh launch pad we are just a few

94
00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:35,120
months away from

95
00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:37,919
50 and 50 years since yuri gagarin

96
00:19:41,830 --> 00:19:40,080
launched from this pad uh you've been

97
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:41,840
here multiple times and we were just

98
00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:43,760
here a couple of months ago but

99
00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:45,840
your sense of history as you watch the

100
00:19:50,950 --> 00:19:48,240
soyuz being hoisted vertically

101
00:19:54,070 --> 00:19:50,960
well it's really special i think to be a

102
00:19:56,070 --> 00:19:54,080
part of a launch here because the the

103
00:19:59,190 --> 00:19:56,080
first human in space launched from this

104
00:20:02,470 --> 00:19:59,200
pad and so i think that's a very special

105
00:20:05,110 --> 00:20:02,480
aspect of launching from here for at

106
00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:05,120
least it was for me anyway

107
00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:07,120
so i'm sure that everyone understands

108
00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:26,549
mike lopez alegria assistant to the

109
00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:28,320
director of flight crew operations for

110
00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:30,880
international space station mike

111
00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:33,360
i know the soyuz ready for launch in a

112
00:20:36,870 --> 00:20:35,520
couple of days here in baikonur

113
00:20:38,950 --> 00:20:36,880
um

114
00:20:41,350 --> 00:20:38,960
you've met with katie and paolo and

115
00:20:43,190 --> 00:20:41,360
dimitri how is their level of readiness

116
00:20:44,950 --> 00:20:43,200
how is katie doing as she prepares to

117
00:20:46,710 --> 00:20:44,960
fly in the soil

118
00:20:49,190 --> 00:20:46,720
everyone's great they can't wait i'm

119
00:20:51,029 --> 00:20:49,200
sure they're uh they got a couple more

120
00:20:53,430 --> 00:20:51,039
days of formal things to do press

121
00:20:55,430 --> 00:20:53,440
conference the state commission etc a

122
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:55,440
couple visits with their families uh but

123
00:20:59,590 --> 00:20:57,600
i'm sure they're chomping at the bit

124
00:21:03,990 --> 00:20:59,600
you flew with katie coleman a little

125
00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:04,000
over 15 years ago on the sts-73 mission

126
00:21:07,909 --> 00:21:05,760
what does katie bring to the table and

127
00:21:08,710 --> 00:21:07,919
what's shaping up to be a very complex

128
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:08,720
input

129
00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:11,280
profile kay is a scientist by training

130
00:21:15,110 --> 00:21:13,120
but she has some operational background

131
00:21:17,669 --> 00:21:15,120
as a member of the air force so she's a

132
00:21:19,270 --> 00:21:17,679
little bit of a jack of all trades

133
00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:19,280
i think for this crew she'll be an

134
00:21:24,470 --> 00:21:21,760
interesting balance between um

135
00:21:26,470 --> 00:21:24,480
dima her commander and also scott kelly

136
00:21:27,909 --> 00:21:26,480
who will be the station commander when

137
00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:27,919
they get on board

138
00:21:32,789 --> 00:21:29,760
and the rest of the crew so i i think

139
00:21:35,990 --> 00:21:32,799
it's a very well-rounded well um spread

140
00:21:37,029 --> 00:21:36,000
out in terms of talent and personality

141
00:21:38,789 --> 00:21:37,039
crew

142
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:38,799
the shuttle launch schedule still has to

143
00:21:41,190 --> 00:21:39,520
be

144
00:21:43,430 --> 00:21:41,200
firmed up pending testing on the

145
00:21:45,990 --> 00:21:43,440
external fuel tanks

146
00:21:47,669 --> 00:21:46,000
but it's shaping up to be a rapid fire

147
00:21:49,830 --> 00:21:47,679
succession of vehicles to the space

148
00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:49,840
station over the next three months or so

149
00:21:53,350 --> 00:21:51,200
your thoughts on that

150
00:21:55,669 --> 00:21:53,360
well it's interesting that

151
00:21:57,830 --> 00:21:55,679
the vehicle traffic model is is fast

152
00:21:59,430 --> 00:21:57,840
becoming the most complex issue that we

153
00:22:02,470 --> 00:21:59,440
have to work so

154
00:22:04,070 --> 00:22:02,480
not only does a technical aspect and the

155
00:22:05,669 --> 00:22:04,080
weather have to cooperate but now we've

156
00:22:08,230 --> 00:22:05,679
got to fit those

157
00:22:11,029 --> 00:22:08,240
events into certain slots based on all

158
00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:11,039
the htv the atv pretty soon will be the

159
00:22:15,190 --> 00:22:12,559
commercial

160
00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:15,200
cargo supply ship so it's going to be a

161
00:22:35,110 --> 00:22:17,200
real juggling act over the next well i

162
00:22:39,830 --> 00:22:37,430
kirk streierman the iss deputy program

163
00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:39,840
manager kirk back here at the vancouver

164
00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:41,120
cosmodrome

165
00:22:46,070 --> 00:22:44,000
tma-20 on the launch pad ready to go

166
00:22:48,870 --> 00:22:46,080
uh your thoughts as you saw the vehicle

167
00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:48,880
uh being hoisted vertically and uh

168
00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:50,480
in the early morning and freezing

169
00:22:54,630 --> 00:22:52,480
temperatures here uh

170
00:22:55,909 --> 00:22:54,640
how did it go for you it was wonderful

171
00:22:57,669 --> 00:22:55,919
it was a little chilly this morning and

172
00:23:00,149 --> 00:22:57,679
of course the sun this time of year

173
00:23:01,990 --> 00:23:00,159
doesn't come up till late but uh it is a

174
00:23:03,669 --> 00:23:02,000
beautiful sunrise it's great to see the

175
00:23:05,590 --> 00:23:03,679
rocket and uh

176
00:23:07,110 --> 00:23:05,600
and it'll be a great expedition so we're

177
00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:07,120
really looking forward to these guys

178
00:23:10,470 --> 00:23:09,120
going up in space and and working in a

179
00:23:12,549 --> 00:23:10,480
busy expedition

180
00:23:13,669 --> 00:23:12,559
you go back to a six-person crew later

181
00:23:15,909 --> 00:23:13,679
this week

182
00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:15,919
but this increment is shaping up to be

183
00:23:19,990 --> 00:23:18,240
one vehicle after another after another

184
00:23:21,909 --> 00:23:20,000
after another almost rapid fire

185
00:23:24,710 --> 00:23:21,919
succession how complicated will

186
00:23:26,470 --> 00:23:24,720
expedition 2627 be well the yeah the

187
00:23:27,750 --> 00:23:26,480
real complication of this expedition is

188
00:23:30,149 --> 00:23:27,760
going to be all that like you say all

189
00:23:32,070 --> 00:23:30,159
the vehicle traffic and the choreography

190
00:23:35,270 --> 00:23:32,080
choreography between the uh

191
00:23:37,510 --> 00:23:35,280
the japanese htv the european atv uh

192
00:23:39,029 --> 00:23:37,520
russian progress vehicles and and of

193
00:23:41,510 --> 00:23:39,039
course the the shuttle flights will be

194
00:23:43,350 --> 00:23:41,520
coming up in february and april so uh

195
00:23:44,950 --> 00:23:43,360
it's really going to be a quite a

196
00:23:47,269 --> 00:23:44,960
choreography plus there's two russian

197
00:23:49,190 --> 00:23:47,279
evas so making sure the vehicles are all

198
00:23:52,710 --> 00:23:49,200
spaced right that there's time for the

199
00:23:54,310 --> 00:23:52,720
crew to offload one vehicle uh and and

200
00:23:56,390 --> 00:23:54,320
and then prepare for a departure of

201
00:23:57,990 --> 00:23:56,400
those vehicles it's going to be quite

202
00:24:00,230 --> 00:23:58,000
quite complicated but these guys are

203
00:24:02,470 --> 00:24:00,240
ready to go and our ground teams who are

204
00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:02,480
preparing all the plans are ready to go

205
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:03,600
so i believe we'll have a very

206
00:24:07,669 --> 00:24:05,520
successful expedition the word

207
00:24:09,269 --> 00:24:07,679
international really comes into play for

208
00:24:11,430 --> 00:24:09,279
the international space station over the

209
00:24:14,070 --> 00:24:11,440
next few months

210
00:24:15,269 --> 00:24:14,080
in this second decade of permanent human

211
00:24:17,029 --> 00:24:15,279
occupancy

212
00:24:18,870 --> 00:24:17,039
how has it all come together so it's

213
00:24:20,310 --> 00:24:18,880
it's been great and like you said uh

214
00:24:22,149 --> 00:24:20,320
it's it's wonderful to have all the

215
00:24:24,230 --> 00:24:22,159
cooperation between the various

216
00:24:26,230 --> 00:24:24,240
countries and there's nothing like like

217
00:24:28,310 --> 00:24:26,240
this expedition that shows it with uh

218
00:24:30,149 --> 00:24:28,320
like i said the japanese and european

219
00:24:32,470 --> 00:24:30,159
vehicles together with russian vehicles

220
00:24:34,870 --> 00:24:32,480
and us vehicles all cutting up in this

221
00:24:36,789 --> 00:24:34,880
short time frame so a great partnership

222
00:24:39,029 --> 00:24:36,799
a great teamwork and we'll get to see it

223
00:24:41,029 --> 00:24:39,039
unfold over the next six months

224
00:24:43,510 --> 00:24:41,039
can't get away without thinking just

225
00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:43,520
four months shy now the 50th anniversary

226
00:24:47,430 --> 00:24:45,600
of the launch of yuri gagarin

227
00:24:49,590 --> 00:24:47,440
from the same launch pad

228
00:24:52,230 --> 00:24:49,600
always an impressive thought it is it's

229
00:24:53,909 --> 00:24:52,240
amazing and and the operation here is

230
00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:53,919
truly fascinating every time i come and

231
00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:55,520
watch the fact that they bring this

232
00:24:58,630 --> 00:24:57,120
rocket out horizontal in just a few

233
00:25:00,070 --> 00:24:58,640
minutes it's vertical

234
00:25:01,430 --> 00:25:00,080
and that's only a couple of days before

235
00:25:03,750 --> 00:25:01,440
they actually launched into space so

236
00:25:05,430 --> 00:25:03,760
it's a fantastic operation these guys

237
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:05,440
have been doing it for for many many

238
00:25:09,269 --> 00:25:08,080
years and uh and successfully and we

239
00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:09,279
look forward to

240
00:25:29,430 --> 00:25:11,120

josh katie's ticket to ride behind you

243
00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:36,480
here on the launch pad at the baikonur

244
00:25:40,950 --> 00:25:38,880
cosmodrome your thoughts as you saw this

245
00:25:43,269 --> 00:25:40,960
whole process of the vehicle rolling out

246
00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:43,279
being erected vertically

247
00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:46,000
amazing for you just a whole cast

248
00:25:52,870 --> 00:25:48,640
cascade of thoughts really um that this

249
00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:52,880
is for katie the culmination of a dream

250
00:25:58,310 --> 00:25:55,440
a lifetime of preparation

251
00:26:00,470 --> 00:25:58,320
and actually three years of intense

252
00:26:03,110 --> 00:26:00,480
preparation now

253
00:26:05,830 --> 00:26:03,120
i actually thought as the train went by

254
00:26:09,269 --> 00:26:05,840
earlier today of how her meeting with

255
00:26:10,950 --> 00:26:09,279
sally ride years ago

256
00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:10,960
got her interested in the space program

257
00:26:16,310 --> 00:26:13,600
to begin with and how only last week she

258
00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:16,320
got to meet with valentina taraskova

259
00:26:23,350 --> 00:26:20,080
and and how what a history

260
00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:23,360
50 years of space flight and and she's

261
00:26:26,470 --> 00:26:25,360
about to ride this rocket it's just

262
00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:26,480
amazing

263
00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:28,400
same launch pad from which you're going

264
00:26:32,950 --> 00:26:30,480
to launched almost 50 years ago just

265
00:26:35,029 --> 00:26:32,960
four months shy of that anniversary

266
00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:35,039
well how struck are you by the history

267
00:26:38,870 --> 00:26:36,480
of this place

268
00:26:40,310 --> 00:26:38,880
well it's amazing because uh of course

269
00:26:41,669 --> 00:26:40,320
kennedy space center is the same way

270
00:26:43,430 --> 00:26:41,679
there's a great deal of history there

271
00:26:45,269 --> 00:26:43,440
there are many launch pads but that this

272
00:26:47,830 --> 00:26:45,279
is the spot

273
00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:47,840
where yuri gagarin left from and where

274
00:26:52,310 --> 00:26:49,520
sputnik left from

275
00:26:55,909 --> 00:26:52,320
and where my sweetheart is going to go

276
00:26:59,750 --> 00:26:55,919
as it's very significant it's uh it's

277
00:27:01,750 --> 00:26:59,760
and as i said it's it's utterly um

278
00:27:04,070 --> 00:27:01,760
it's been katie's goal to do a long

279
00:27:06,230 --> 00:27:04,080
duration mission for years

280
00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:06,240

she's really in the last

291
00:27:29,590 --> 00:27:27,919
i mean there's so many details there's

292
00:27:31,750 --> 00:27:29,600
so many things that you have to figure

293
00:27:33,510 --> 00:27:31,760
out and make sure that you've got right

294
00:27:36,230 --> 00:27:33,520
along with

295
00:27:38,630 --> 00:27:36,240
years of training and i i think she's

296
00:27:40,710 --> 00:27:38,640
ready although knowing my wife she'll be
