Nespoli is an engineer who has 39 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:43,560 had a training in met in the medical 40 00:02:51,050 --> 00:02:49,170 field so basically if you have to 41 00:02:57,470 --> 00:02:51,060 extract a tooth you have to do it 42 00:03:03,470 --> 00:02:57,480 yourself so it seems like in this kind 43 00:03:05,899 --> 00:03:03,480 of mission you prepare yourself for for 44 00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:05,909 things that are not in your field so how 45 00:03:11,559 --> 00:03:09,120 did you prepare for this mission what 46 00:03:15,289 --> 00:03:11,569 what kind of training did you conduct 47 00:03:19,699 --> 00:03:15,299 well a disability pass basic training to 48 00:03:24,020 --> 00:03:19,709 become astronaut you compiled an usually 49 00:03:25,909 --> 00:03:24,030 lasts about two years and then there's 50 00:03:28,190 --> 00:03:25,919 there's a time where you're waiting for 51 00:03:33,009 --> 00:03:28,200 an assignment or mission and that's when 52 00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:33,019 you conduct other activities such as 53 00:03:40,430 --> 00:03:35,910 extra vehicular activities maneuvering 54 00:03:42,259 --> 00:03:40,440 the arm this activity can last five to 55 00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:42,269 seven years in my case even nine years 56 00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:45,680 and then I was assigned to this mission 57 00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:48,449 the training lasted about two and a half 58 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:52,609 years of which one year was in Russia 59 00:03:59,300 --> 00:03:55,290 since the vehicle that we took to get 60 00:04:01,729 --> 00:03:59,310 here was a Russian vehicle so we had to 61 00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:01,739 partially learn Russian and Russian 62 00:04:07,849 --> 00:04:06,000 procedures but also Space Station 63 00:04:10,819 --> 00:04:07,859 systems and all the experiments that you 64 00:04:14,330 --> 00:04:10,829 can see here so I would like to mention 65 00:04:19,039 --> 00:04:14,340 that this is the Columbus module the 66 00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:19,049 European module which is one of the 67 00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:21,120 places where we conduct experiments 68 00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:26,560 onboard hiren station and it is a baby 69 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:31,360 a notable notification a la serda Lera 70 00:04:34,740 --> 00:04:33,010 and also they told me that they had to 71 00:04:40,260 --> 00:04:34,750 modify the spacecraft to get you there 72 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:40,270 because you're too tall oh I know right 73 00:04:46,159 --> 00:04:42,850 maybe they were looking at me but 74 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:46,169 anyways they had to modify the 75 00:04:56,430 --> 00:04:49,810 spacecraft because you're an Italian 76 00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:56,440 even taller than Americans I'm also 77 00:05:00,690 --> 00:04:58,570 aware that you should be able to set a 78 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:00,700 record in this mission remind us what it 79 00:05:07,290 --> 00:05:05,410 is yes you know Lesotho facility she-ra 80 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:07,300 Court beaten I don't know I don't know 81 00:05:12,659 --> 00:05:10,690 if you're talking about the record for a 82 00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:12,669 permanence in space for any Talent it's 83 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:15,910 the only thing I can think of there have 84 00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:18,010 been five Italians that have flown to 85 00:05:27,750 --> 00:05:23,110 space so far on average 10 to 15 day 86 00:05:29,219 --> 00:05:27,760 mission so with the six-month mission in 87 00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:29,229 the future I'm sure will exceed this 88 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:31,840 record but it's this this is a record 89 00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:34,450 that's not distant to less very long 90 00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:36,880 because there will be other Italian 91 00:05:39,390 --> 00:05:38,590 astronauts in the future in the coming 92 00:05:41,940 --> 00:05:39,400 years 93 00:05:47,969 --> 00:05:41,950 so these six months this this record 94 00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:47,979 will be overridden well for the time 95 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:49,870 being it's an important record six 96 00:06:01,620 --> 00:05:56,250 months in space two Italians in space 97 00:06:04,290 --> 00:06:01,630 but this is fascinating and on the other 98 00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:04,300 hand we're wondering what you do for six 99 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:08,560 months aside from the scientific parts 100 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:10,690 and working in the lab how do you spend 101 00:06:20,340 --> 00:06:14,010 your days in an environment that's 102 00:06:22,650 --> 00:06:20,350 somewhat small it will be a lot of 103 00:06:25,980 --> 00:06:22,660 different and open so well I have to say 104 00:06:28,409 --> 00:06:25,990 that during training I kept on thinking 105 00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:28,419 when did I get myself into six months in 106 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:31,200 space how am I going to spend this time 107 00:06:36,690 --> 00:06:35,050 but instead even these 15 days that 108 00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:36,700 we've done so far 109 00:06:43,140 --> 00:06:39,280 can say that this time is going to pass 110 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:43,150 me by very far very fast they got also 111 00:06:47,730 --> 00:06:45,490 God because Mission Control in Houston 112 00:06:51,420 --> 00:06:47,740 and the European Mission Control in 113 00:06:54,210 --> 00:06:51,430 Munich they keep us very busy until 7 114 00:06:55,890 --> 00:06:54,220 p.m. at night for if we're lucky if we 115 00:07:00,720 --> 00:06:55,900 get to finish all our activities so we 116 00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:00,730 don't really get a feeling for passing 117 00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:02,710 time so yesterday for example there was 118 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:07,120 an eclipse and I didn't notice the time 119 00:07:13,470 --> 00:07:11,650 passing plus here if something breaks 120 00:07:17,030 --> 00:07:13,480 it's not like you can call the 121 00:07:20,430 --> 00:07:17,040 electrician or the plumber for example 122 00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:20,440 for example our commander right now is 123 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:23,620 dealing with a restroom which is all 124 00:07:32,990 --> 00:07:25,210 taken apart right now so there's 125 00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:35,100 well certainly it seems like there's no 126 00:07:40,950 --> 00:07:37,870 lack of activities so yeah you have also 127 00:07:43,650 --> 00:07:40,960 done many photographs which is a hobby 128 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:43,660 that you're still keeping up their own 129 00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:46,570 station and you have sent down to earth 130 00:07:53,790 --> 00:07:49,360 some beautiful photos that are being 131 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:53,800 published by magazines in Italy at night 132 00:08:03,510 --> 00:07:56,410 there's one of Italy at night without 133 00:08:06,380 --> 00:08:03,520 clouds below yeah so it seems like when 134 00:08:10,170 --> 00:08:06,390 you don't have anything to do the 135 00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:10,180 viewports give you images that very few 136 00:08:15,210 --> 00:08:13,510 people have the privilege of admiring 137 00:08:17,550 --> 00:08:15,220 beauty coolness 138 00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:17,560 yep a lover that it is true I've been 139 00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:19,990 astonished on how beautiful it is to be 140 00:08:26,340 --> 00:08:24,160 able to look down at night fat that you 141 00:08:29,250 --> 00:08:26,350 know I most of the pictures are done at 142 00:08:32,219 --> 00:08:29,260 night also because at night it's it's 143 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:32,229 easier to see the geography Italy is 144 00:08:37,950 --> 00:08:35,890 very distinguishable from space it's one 145 00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:37,960 of the few nations that's very hard to 146 00:08:44,250 --> 00:08:40,270 miss and it's truly beautiful there's 147 00:08:46,380 --> 00:08:44,260 this boot with the crown of the Alps and 148 00:08:48,810 --> 00:08:46,390 the islands they're truly truly 149 00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:48,820 beautiful and seen from up here and 150 00:08:52,050 --> 00:08:50,529 that's why I've I've wanted 151 00:08:57,210 --> 00:08:52,060 take these pictures and send them down 152 00:09:01,769 --> 00:08:57,220 so that you can see them and I see 153 00:09:04,650 --> 00:09:01,779 there's a little dome good-luck charm 154 00:09:08,489 --> 00:09:04,660 perhaps it's something that was given to 155 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:08,499 you by someone close to you hey boo but 156 00:09:14,460 --> 00:09:10,689 sit by and pick up okay - oh so this is 157 00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:14,470 a Red Riding Hood from my daughter that 158 00:09:21,299 --> 00:09:18,100 she gave me before the launch and we 159 00:09:26,340 --> 00:09:21,309 used it on on our launch spacecraft to 160 00:09:30,980 --> 00:09:26,350 indicate once we reach zero-g so once 161 00:09:39,420 --> 00:09:33,179 riding-hood just started floating so we 162 00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:39,430 could tell that we were in zero-g my 163 00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:42,160 anchor okay Conquest NOP - Viacom 164 00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:44,110 Christa West emissions of Red Riding 165 00:09:51,299 --> 00:09:48,910 Hood has is conquered by the wolf but 166 00:09:55,470 --> 00:09:51,309 she also

00:10:02,290 children astronaut is one of those 170 00:10:12,540 --> 00:10:08,860 professions that really fascinates 171 00:10:14,549 --> 00:10:12,550 children so while the wait so that they 172 00:10:16,860 --> 00:10:14,559 can become astronauts we we are aware 173 00:10:20,129 --> 00:10:16,870 that you're conducting experiments that 174 00:10:21,210 --> 00:10:20,139 involve children down here on earth what 175 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:21,220 what kind of experiments are you 176 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:24,850 conducting these are educational 177 00:10:32,429 --> 00:10:29,370 experiments it's a way to involve kids 178 00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:32,439 you mean okay I confided Ellison Thank 179 00:10:36,059 --> 00:10:33,910 You agenda legend that you support 180 00:10:36,829 --> 00:10:36,069 Yvette and show them that science can be 181 00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:36,839 fun 182 00:10:41,999 --> 00:10:39,149 so we're going to be doing an experiment 183 00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:42,009 coordinated by the European Space Agency 184 00:10:50,220 --> 00:10:46,480 we delay that will grow some plants here 185 00:10:52,470 --> 00:10:50,230 on orbit yes could I ask you if um if I 186 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:52,480 go crazy and we will distribute some 187 00:10:58,460 --> 00:10:55,210 kids throughout schools and will 188 00:11:02,820 --> 00:10:58,470 grow these plants and we'll make some 189 00:11:06,570 --> 00:11:02,830 scientific comments on on how they grow 190 00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:06,580 how much water they take and so simple 191 00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:08,260 things but they already give you an idea 192 00:11:15,180 --> 00:11:12,640 on the scientific method and and and how 193 00:11:20,010 --> 00:11:15,190 you can scientifically observe something 194 00:11:22,170 --> 00:11:20,020 simple as growing a plant equates to 195 00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:22,180 severe appearance ponder and then we'll 196 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:25,870 do some observations in 3d so that you 197 00:11:32,910 --> 00:11:28,450 can know they can also expand their 198 00:11:36,930 --> 00:11:32,920 understanding vehicle disease and so 199 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:36,940 that they can understand the the purpose 200 00:11:40,350 --> 00:11:38,650 of a place like this and they can 201 00:11:47,220 --> 00:11:40,360 concentrate on what to do when they grow 202 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:47,230 up okay so we have a lot more trivial 203 00:11:54,890 --> 00:11:53,290 questions as well so since it's not 204 00:11:59,300 --> 00:11:54,900 every day we get to talk to an astronaut 205 00:12:01,950 --> 00:11:59,310 for example what do you eat so in movies 206 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:01,960 were used to seeing things that you 207 00:12:10,410 --> 00:12:06,450 spray or that you suck on powder things 208 00:12:12,210 --> 00:12:10,420 so so what do you eat in space and do 209 00:12:15,150 --> 00:12:12,220 you lose weight or gain weight 210 00:12:16,980 --> 00:12:15,160 ah don't mind us we'll keep over because 211 00:12:19,230 --> 00:12:16,990 I found a video for fat I'm glad you 212 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:19,240 made a food question this is an 213 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:20,650 important thing so I brought a few 214 00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:23,770 typical things it depends from person to 215 00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:25,570 person some people lose weight some 216 00:12:30,180 --> 00:12:26,320 people gain weight 217 00:12:34,230 --> 00:12:30,190 it depends more or less since we 218 00:12:38,190 --> 00:12:34,240 exercise a lot more or less we tend to 219 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:38,200 stay the same way here's one of the 220 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:43,930 standard foods this is powdered so these 221 00:12:52,630 --> 00:12:45,730 are scrambled eggs ok now I'm going to 222 00:12:57,970 --> 00:12:55,199 but easily they forget you feed that 223 00:13:01,930 --> 00:12:57,980 little india so these are dehydrated 224 00:13:05,259 --> 00:13:01,940 packets that we rehydrate them we'll 225 00:13:07,329 --> 00:13:05,269 leave about 10 minutes so that they come 226 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:07,339 back and then we'll eat them with 227 00:13:12,780 --> 00:13:10,970 working knife then we have little little 228 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:12,790 tins of sardines 229 00:13:23,940 --> 00:13:16,370 we have little tins of meat we have some 230 00:13:33,850 --> 00:13:29,710 this is curry chicken and we can heat it 231 00:13:38,530 --> 00:13:33,860 up in a in the type of toaster oven and 232 00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:38,540 then we can eat it so as you can see 233 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:40,310 here in space you have to be careful 234 00:13:46,540 --> 00:13:43,010 with what you do because then you can't 235 00:13:47,769 --> 00:13:46,550 find things on earth everything falls to 236 00:13:51,810 --> 00:13:47,779 the ground here they kind of go 237 00:14:00,430 --> 00:13:55,420 thank you for the explanations in the 238 00:14:04,509 --> 00:14:00,440 meantime should tidy up for example in 239 00:14:07,389 --> 00:14:04,519 New Year's Day did you have a special 240 00:14:13,050 --> 00:14:07,399 New Year's menu or did you here did you 241 00:14:17,980 --> 00:14:13,060 eat dry eggs and sardines I didn't know 242 00:14:20,290 --> 00:14:17,990 to be honest with you we ate tins even 243 00:14:24,310 --> 00:14:20,300 that evening the Russians gave us some 244 00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:24,320 little gift packages with chocolate and 245 00:14:29,250 --> 00:14:26,000 they also brought us some lemons and 246 00:14:35,139 --> 00:14:29,260 onions I'm not sure if this qualifies as 247 00:14:36,699 --> 00:14:35,149 New Year's Day but having fresh things 248 00:14:40,019 --> 00:14:36,709 here on station is not an everyday 249 00:14:49,060 --> 00:14:40,029 occurrence agreeable 250 00:14:50,530 --> 00:14:49,070 so anyway I'm sure it was appreciated so 251 00:14:54,550 --> 00:14:50,540 talking about sleeping you have many 252 00:14:57,490 --> 00:14:54,560 dawns and many sunsets throughout the 253 00:15:03,730 --> 00:14:57,500 day since the Sun coming comes and goes 254 00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:03,740 so how do you establish the time there 255 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:05,910 must be a time that you have established 256 00:15:15,170 --> 00:15:08,850 to get up and go to bed with the rhythms 257 00:15:18,860 --> 00:15:15,180 of daylight if he no yes utilize the GMT 258 00:15:21,620 --> 00:15:18,870 time that the London time that's where 259 00:15:25,130 --> 00:15:21,630 we're synchronized with the worldwide 260 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:25,140 time which is London Greenwich Time okay 261 00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:28,050 you are gunshot don't we use a working 262 00:15:35,170 --> 00:15:32,160 rhythm that's closer to Moscow it may 263 00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:35,180 seem strange but were based on the 264 00:15:42,530 --> 00:15:40,950 Russian subway so that the Russian 265 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:42,540 Mission Control personnel can get to 266 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:46,610 work so we get up around 6:00 a.m. 7:30 267 00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:49,770 7:30 we have the first contact with 268 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:54,390 Mission Control and then we check the 269 00:15:59,930 --> 00:15:57,450 work activities for the day and then we 270 00:16:02,840 --> 00:15:59,940 work and pause for lunch and work until 271 00:16:06,230 --> 00:16:02,850 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. this is how things 272 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:06,240 work we don't look outside much so we 273 00:16:11,210 --> 00:16:09,170 don't really get a feel for this 274 00:16:11,750 --> 00:16:11,220 continues following our dawns and 275 00:16:14,780 --> 00:16:11,760 sunsets 276 00:16:17,900 --> 00:16:14,790 unless it's evening so so we go into 277 00:16:20,690 --> 00:16:17,910 cupola and look down that's the time 278 00:16:27,530 --> 00:16:20,700 where Europe is at night but the rest of 279 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:27,540 the world is in daylight without a 280 00:16:32,420 --> 00:16:29,730 person and they appear that it's not a 281 00:16:35,180 --> 00:16:32,430 critical piece of also a noise another 282 00:16:39,230 --> 00:16:35,190 fascinating activity that we only see 283 00:16:41,450 --> 00:16:39,240 movies so the the extra vehicular 284 00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:41,460 activities does it ever happen that you 285 00:16:49,730 --> 00:16:43,710 walk out of the International Space 286 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:49,740 Station or you're always in there well 287 00:16:55,220 --> 00:16:52,890 it's not like somebody can say I'm tired 288 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:55,230 tonight I'm gonna go out the station 289 00:17:01,220 --> 00:16:57,450 tonight to go watch a movie it's it's 290 00:17:03,290 --> 00:17:01,230 not that simple to do an Eevee a the the 291 00:17:05,690 --> 00:17:03,300 spacesuits are very delicate all pieces 292 00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:05,700 have a life so they can always be used a 293 00:17:10,970 --> 00:17:08,160 certain number of times so we try to 294 00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:10,980 limit the number of times that you have 295 00:17:18,699 --> 00:17:14,130 to use these spacesuits in this mission 296 00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:18,709 we do not expect to conduct any 297 00:17:24,919 --> 00:17:23,130 spacewalks unless unless there will be a 298 00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:24,929 need or an emergency or something will 299 00:17:28,999 --> 00:17:27,089 break down or something happens in that 300 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:29,009 case we'll have to go outside to go fix 301 00:17:37,850 --> 00:17:33,210 it in fact a great part of the morning I 302 00:17:41,029 --> 00:17:37,860 spent setting up my spacesuit for 303 00:17:44,180 --> 00:17:41,039 spacewalks in case of emergency in a few 304 00:17:46,879 --> 00:17:44,190 weeks at Japanese refuel vehicle will 305 00:17:48,980 --> 00:17:46,889 arrive any case there's a there's a 306 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:48,990 problem with that it'll be my and the 307 00:17:53,570 --> 00:17:51,570 commanders job to go outside and go fix 308 00:17:56,930 --> 00:17:53,580 it so we hope that it won't happen but 309 00:18:00,019 --> 00:17:56,940 if it should we're ready and I will go 310 00:18:04,310 --> 00:18:00,029 outside and gladly go outside take a 311 00:18:08,570 --> 00:18:04,320 walk certainly is it's a it's an 312 00:18:10,490 --> 00:18:08,580 extraordinary experience really 313 00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:10,500 non-zeros but so mister Nespoli I'm sure 314 00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:12,960 you have visitors because I'm sure even 315 00:18:16,820 --> 00:18:15,360 in space you can't you can't just be
