little bit 29 00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:31,749 the tree was planted by 30 00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:32,960 garen 31 00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:43,749 so it's i think it's a wonderful 32 00:05:50,790 --> 00:05:45,520 tradition and it's a great honor to be a 33 00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:53,590 why this space program is not integrated 34 00:05:57,909 --> 00:05:55,840 why we are we aren't able to work 35 00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:57,919 together for one uh 36 00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:00,400 one goal well we are an integrated space 37 00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:03,360 program but each nation has to fund its 38 00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:04,160 own 39 00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:07,600 parts of the space program so each each 40 00:06:12,309 --> 00:06:09,840 partner in our international partnership 41 00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:12,319 has to answer to their own people their 42 00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:14,080 own government so 43 00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:15,840 that part of it is separate because 44 00:06:18,469 --> 00:06:17,440 that's where the money comes from but 45 00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:18,479 together 46 00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:20,000 is you know we are building the space 47 00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:21,520 station we are conducting the research 48 00:06:25,029 --> 00:06:22,560 and the science onboard the space 49 00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:25,039 station so the program itself is all 50 00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:27,039 integrated in together it's just where 51 00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:29,120 the funding comes uh from different 52 00:06:37,350 --> 00:06:31,440 places that require us to have separate 53 00:06:42,070 --> 00:06:40,710 and i think that we are very very close 54 00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:42,080 to this 55 00:06:48,390 --> 00:06:45,440 thrilling moment and the next step 56 00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:48,400 would be actually getting into our seats 57 00:07:21,430 --> 00:06:49,840 and 58 00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:21,440 you will be on board of the iss 59 00:07:26,230 --> 00:07:23,759 among one 60 00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:26,240 of the most well-known 61 00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:27,759 um 62 00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:28,960 people 63 00:07:33,909 --> 00:07:30,880 who actually flew 64 00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:33,919 into space and there will be one very 65 00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:35,759 memorable date 66 00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:39,440 the flight of yuri gagarin into space 67 00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:42,240 and what do you think about it and how 68 00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:44,400 do you feel about flying on such an 69 00:07:48,629 --> 00:07:45,840 important date 70 00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:48,639 and the name of gagarin is a legend it's 71 00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:51,120 not only a legend of the soviet nation 72 00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:54,400 but the legend of the whole 73 00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:55,440 world 74 00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:56,720 this man 75 00:08:03,589 --> 00:08:00,479 shows to all of us the way into space 76 00:08:07,589 --> 00:08:03,599 that we had not known before 77 00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:10,390 some parts of our 78 00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:13,120 after some time we will lose 79 00:08:18,629 --> 00:08:16,080 the names of generals and presidents 80 00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:18,639 will be wiped off the boards of history 81 00:08:21,909 --> 00:08:19,360 but 82 00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:21,919 gagarin will be there 83 00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:26,400 uh the launch of gagarin was a very 84 00:08:33,269 --> 00:08:28,879 bold step for 85 00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:33,279 coral of constructor and scientists so 86 00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:35,039 was it risky 87 00:08:40,949 --> 00:08:36,560 as far as i know 88 00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:40,959 sergey korolev was an enthusiast of his 89 00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:43,680 uh job and he 90 00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:46,160 required a lot from the people who 91 00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:48,080 worked with him 92 00:08:58,389 --> 00:08:49,360 and 93 00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:58,399 so i think it was a great deed for him 94 00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:01,279 and we know how difficult it was for him 95 00:09:09,509 --> 00:09:07,590 and 96 00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:09,519 it was 97 00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:12,480 done for the first time 98 00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:14,640 the launch of yuri gagarin happened 99 00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:17,040 during the cold war between the soviet 100 00:09:21,110 --> 00:09:20,160 union and the united states of america 101 00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:21,120 so 102 00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:23,839 it actually opened a way to the 103 00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:25,600 international partnership partnership 104 00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:27,360 what do you think about that 105 00:09:32,389 --> 00:09:28,720 i wouldn't 106 00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:32,399 call it the cold war use it now 107 00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:35,680 i would probably call it in a more 108 00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:38,720 simpler way it was competition 109 00:09:45,030 --> 00:09:42,080 and it's a more modern word 110 00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:45,040 and i think that the notion of the cold 111 00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:48,959 war in a way actually gave a push 112 00:09:54,389 --> 00:09:50,560 to 113 00:09:59,030 --> 00:09:56,870 human space exploration not only in the 114 00:10:01,190 --> 00:09:59,040 united states but also in the soviet 115 00:10:01,990 --> 00:10:01,200 union and around the world 116 00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:02,000 so 117 00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:03,600 have you ever 118 00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:04,640 dreamt 119 00:10:09,430 --> 00:10:07,120 that russia and the united states are 120 00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:09,440 going to be working shoulder to shoulder 121 00:10:14,949 --> 00:10:11,360 as it is happening now within the 122 00:10:17,509 --> 00:10:14,959 framework of partnership on this program 123 00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:17,519 well i think sooner or later everybody 124 00:10:24,069 --> 00:10:18,959 becomes 125 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:24,079 sometimes like neighbors but now we are 126 00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:25,360 working 127 00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:28,480 perfectly together and our american 128 00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:30,160 colleagues and us 129 00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:33,200 we feel oh no at ease 130 00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:35,760 at nasa ground grounds with nasa 131 00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:38,160 instructors and i hope the same works 132 00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:41,360 for our colleagues from the states 133 00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:45,200 yuri gagarin is praised as a national 134 00:10:52,949 --> 00:10:50,470 in russia 135 00:10:55,910 --> 00:10:52,959 is that so 136 00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:55,920 i think that yuri gagarin is our 137 00:11:01,590 --> 00:10:58,480 countryman and every 138 00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:01,600 boy is proud of 139 00:11:06,710 --> 00:11:05,120 him being the first man in space and 140 00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:06,720 that he was 141 00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:09,920 a soviet citizen and came from a simple 142 00:11:16,949 --> 00:11:12,880 russian village for americans 143 00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:16,959 john glenn and neil armstrong uh were 144 00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:20,160 their heroes was yuri gagarin was a hero 145 00:11:26,949 --> 00:11:23,440 when you were training for this mission 146 00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:30,310 i would say that my parents 147 00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:33,120 are the ones who told me about yuri 148 00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:37,839 gagarin because i was born much later 149 00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:41,200 after the flight but my parents told me 150 00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:44,160 about that and they would just walk 151 00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:46,079 in the on the street 152 00:11:50,470 --> 00:11:48,240 and listen to 153 00:11:52,550 --> 00:11:50,480 the radio news 154 00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:52,560 that were handing on 155 00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:54,560 telephone poles 156 00:12:01,670 --> 00:11:58,800 or on tv when um the news readers were 157 00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:01,680 telling us about uh this man 158 00:12:08,069 --> 00:12:05,040 and that's how he became part of every 159 00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:08,079 family in our country 160 00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:11,360 and probably that was my inspiration and 161 00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:14,480 i think i felt the same as my parents 162 00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:16,399 did 163 00:12:22,949 --> 00:12:19,360 so you will be crammed in a small 164 00:12:25,350 -->

222 00:15:27,509 --> 00:15:25,920 it's a new epoch in space exploration 223 00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:27,519 looking back 224 00:15:32,629 --> 00:15:29,199 uh on how 225 00:15:35,269 --> 00:15:32,639 difficult and audacious this step was 226 00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:35,279 for space exploration how difficult it 227 00:15:39,829 --> 00:15:38,079 was for kara love and how much it 228 00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:39,839 influenced the development of the space 229 00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:41,440 program and the soviet union what do you 230 00:15:45,910 --> 00:15:42,720 think about that 231 00:15:49,509 --> 00:15:45,920 i think at that moment every single 232 00:15:52,389 --> 00:15:49,519 launch was a challenge for korolov and 233 00:15:53,590 --> 00:15:52,399 launching gagarin into space was one of 234 00:15:57,189 --> 00:15:53,600 them 235 00:16:04,629 --> 00:16:00,870 when gagarin was launched neither sergey 236 00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:04,639 korolev nor the people among working 237 00:16:09,670 --> 00:16:05,759 with him 238 00:16:11,590 --> 00:16:09,680 never thought of what a great effect it 239 00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:11,600 would have on 240 00:16:17,269 --> 00:16:13,360 the history of space exploration for 241 00:16:19,509 --> 00:16:17,279 them it was just an ordinary mission 242 00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:19,519 so gagarin 243 00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:21,279 was sent a space 244 00:16:25,189 --> 00:16:22,480 right in the 245 00:16:29,509 --> 00:16:25,199 midst of the cold war between the soviet 246 00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:29,519 union and the usa so what do you think 247 00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:31,839 happened to actually make our 248 00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:34,720 international cooperation possible well 249 00:16:41,189 --> 00:16:38,800 i wouldn't say that the cold war and um 250 00:16:44,710 --> 00:16:41,199 began 251 00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:44,720 when they when gagarin was launched 252 00:16:53,350 --> 00:16:50,790 i would say that it was just um 253 00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:53,360 one step in the development of space 254 00:16:59,350 --> 00:16:55,360 exploration 255 00:17:02,230 --> 00:16:59,360 why is gagarin so respected and also 256 00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:02,240 praised as the national hero and symbol 257 00:17:05,990 --> 00:17:03,199 of 258 00:17:12,549 --> 00:17:09,029 i think that uh sending the first human 259 00:17:15,029 --> 00:17:13,669 thrilling 260 00:17:18,470 --> 00:17:15,039 and 261 00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:18,480 it was just the same as the victory day 262 00:17:22,549 --> 00:17:20,880 in the second world war for the civil 263 00:17:24,949 --> 00:17:22,559 soviets 264 00:17:27,669 --> 00:17:24,959 and that's why it had 265 00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:27,679 such a great influence on the soviet 266 00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:32,390 and not only you there but all around 267 00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:33,520 the world 268 00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:36,799 so i wouldn't say that 269 00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:39,760 yuri alex sage is 270 00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:43,360 anything less than a historic symbol of 271 00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:45,280 our country 272 00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:48,880 so you will be crammed in a little uh 273 00:17:54,310 --> 00:17:52,960 vehicle uh living with six other people 274 00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:54,320 um 275 00:18:01,029 --> 00:17:57,200 could anybody predict that gagarin's 276 00:18:02,470 --> 00:18:01,039 flight would actually lead to this 277 00:18:06,390 --> 00:18:02,480 uh 278 00:18:09,350 --> 00:18:06,400 cooperation to the creation of the iss 279 00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:09,360 well after the launch of uh yuri gaga uh 280 00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:11,760 of gagarin 281 00:18:16,310 --> 00:18:14,400 uh korolov said that 282 00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:16,320 in a couple of 283 00:18:20,710 --> 00:18:17,760 years 284 00:18:23,510 --> 00:18:20,720 people would be able to buy tours into 285 00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:23,520 space so 286 00:18:26,630 --> 00:18:24,880 you will be 287 00:18:29,990 --> 00:18:26,640 on orbit 288 00:18:32,470 --> 00:18:30,000 in orbit uh during the commemora uh 289 00:18:35,669 --> 00:18:32,480 during the festivities links linked to 290 00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:35,679 the 50-year anniversary of gagarin's 291 00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:38,000 flight what do you think about that well 292 00:18:41,350 --> 00:18:39,600 it's kind of difficult to say what i'm 293 00:18:43,430 --> 00:18:41,360 going to feel about 294 00:18:46,390 --> 00:18:43,440 this 295 00:18:48,870 --> 00:18:46,400 moment because it hasn't come yet but 296 00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:48,880 now i feel great responsibility for 297 00:18:52,150 --> 00:18:50,640 carrying out 298 00:18:57,430 --> 00:18:52,160 all 299 00:18:58,390 --> 00:18:57,440 tasks that were given to me and get an a 300 00:19:01,510 --> 00:18:58,400 well 301 00:19:05,430 --> 00:19:01,520 the launch of your vehicle 302 00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:05,440 is going to take place as 303 00:19:07,270 -->

--> 00:19:13,600 as gagarin's uh 308 00:19:18,070 --> 00:19:14,640 vigo 309 00:19:21,990 --> 00:19:18,080 do you feel how close to the history you 310 00:19:24,150 --> 00:19:22,000 are and how inspiring is is it 311 00:19:25,909 --> 00:19:24,160 of course everything at baikonur is 312 00:19:28,390 --> 00:19:25,919 linked with the history of space 313 00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:28,400 exploration and it's hard not to feel 314 00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:30,000 this connection 315 00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:32,799 thank you you're most welcome 316 00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:34,640 ron you'll be on board the international 317 00:19:37,990 --> 00:19:36,080 space station for some of the most 318 00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:38,000 widely recognized and celebrated 319 00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:40,320 anniversaries in space flight history 320 00:19:44,070 --> 00:19:42,480 most notable will be on april 12th the 321 00:19:46,789 --> 00:19:44,080 50th anniversary of the launching of 322 00:19:48,950 --> 00:19:46,799 yuri gagarin aboard vostok one as the 323 00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:48,960 first human in space 324 00:19:52,470 --> 00:19:50,640 your thoughts on the significance of the 325 00:19:54,470 --> 00:19:52,480 garen's flight and what it meant meant 326 00:19:57,190 --> 00:19:54,480 as a historic moment that enabled us to 327 00:19:59,350 --> 00:19:57,200 leave our planet yeah um 328 00:20:01,190 --> 00:19:59,360 well that was that was a very very 329 00:20:03,190 --> 00:20:01,200 historic moment 330 00:20:05,669 --> 00:20:03,200 you know i think on that day 331 00:20:07,830 --> 00:20:05,679 the day that yuri launched into space we 332 00:20:10,230 --> 00:20:07,840 became a different species you know we 333 00:20:11,990 --> 00:20:10,240 were a species that you know made this 334 00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:12,000 giant leap in evolution where we were no 335 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:14,720 longer confined to the to the boundaries 336 00:20:20,950 --> 00:20:17,760 of our planet and you know we we at that 337 00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:20,960 on that day we became a species who 338 00:20:25,350 --> 00:20:23,440 um you know did not need to be a single 339 00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:25,360 planet species anymore so that really 340 00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:26,320 changed 341 00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:28,080 change and i think it was you know a 342 00:20:32,390 --> 00:20:30,880 very very historic moment and really you 343 00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:32,400 know set the stage for a lot of things 344 00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:34,480 to come 345 00:20:38,230 --> 00:20:36,240 so in retrospect how bold and 346 00:20:39,830 --> 00:20:38,240 challenging do you think it was must 347 00:20:42,310 --> 00:20:39,840 have been for sergey korla the great 348 00:20:43,990 --> 00:20:42,320 designer to launch gagarin knowing the 349 00:20:45,990 --> 00:20:44,000 prestige of the soviet union wrote on 350 00:20:48,710 --> 00:20:46,000 that rocket success or failure yeah i 351 00:20:50,470 --> 00:20:48,720 think it was big i think uh you know um 352 00:20:52,870 --> 00:20:50,480 sergey karl had a very very interesting 353 00:20:55,270 --> 00:20:52,880 story you know he he spent six years in 354 00:20:57,110 --> 00:20:55,280 prison and and um you know labor camps 355 00:21:00,470 --> 00:20:57,120 and then for something he didn't do and 356 00:21:02,549 --> 00:21:00,480 was was later cleared for from and um 357 00:21:04,630 --> 00:21:02,559 you know he he he was secret that his 358 00:21:06,630 --> 00:21:04,640 very name was secret for many many years 359 00:21:09,110 --> 00:21:06,640 and you know that 360 00:21:10,789 --> 00:21:09,120 you know the whole idea of you know 361 00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:10,799 sending a first a satellite into orbit 362 00:21:14,310 --> 00:21:12,240 then a dog and then then you know 363 00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:14,320 finally a man that was you know that was 364 00:21:17,750 --> 00:21:16,080 that all came from him from this from 365 00:21:20,149 --> 00:21:17,760 this man i mean he had a whole big team 366 00:21:22,149 --> 00:21:20,159 of people but he was the genius behind 367 00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:22,159 that he was the visionary behind that 368 00:21:26,310 --> 00:21:24,159 and so it was a it was a very very bold 369 00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:26,320 move and you know that really set the 370 00:21:31,430 --> 00:21:28,799 stage for everything to come and it was 371 00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:31,440 you know you know we we owe a lot to him 372 00:21:34,950 --> 00:21:32,960 and you know if you think about it 373 00:21:36,230 --> 00:21:34,960 though you know those rockets started 374 00:21:39,190 --> 00:21:36,240 out you know 375 00:21:41,830 --> 00:21:39,200 being designed for military purposes and 376 00:21:44,310 --> 00:21:41,840 um you know through this first step of 377 00:21:45,669 --> 00:21:44,320 sending a human into space we saw that 378 00:21:47,669 --> 00:21:45,679 those they could be used for peaceful 379 00:21:49,830 --> 00:21:47,679 purposes as well and so it was the fir 380 00:21:53,190 --> 00:21:49,840 it was really the first use of these 381 00:21:54,549 --> 00:21:53,200 rockets for for peaceful purposes 382 00:21:56,070 --> 00:21:54,559 the guerin's launch occurred at the 383 00:21:58,470 --> 00:21:56,080 height of the cold war between the u.s 384 00:22:00,390 --> 00:21:58,480 and the soviet union what impact did 385 00:22:02,149 --> 00:22:00,400 that happen forging the space race and 386 00:22:03,669 --> 00:22:02,159 ultimately providing the path that led 387 00:22:06,070 --> 00:22:03,679 to the international cooperation and 388 00:22:07,590 --> 00:22:06,080 space we are conducting today 389 00:22:09,190 --> 00:22:07,600 yeah that's a that's an interesting 390 00:22:11,110 --> 00:22:09,200 question you know um 391 00:22:14,149 --> 00:22:11,120 you know 50 years ago 392 00:22:16,149 --> 00:22:14,159 one nation launched one man into space 393 00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:16,159 and it was for the pride of that nation 394 00:22:20,870 --> 00:22:18,880 and you know our crew you know today 395 00:22:22,390 --> 00:22:20,880 uh you know we represent the whole 396 00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:22,400 partnership of nations that make up the 397 00:22:26,950 --> 00:22:24,640 international space station and so you 398 00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:26,960 know it's a great honor to to 399 00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:30,240 be a part of that transition from being 400 00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:32,320 a competition uh you know an 401 00:22:38,230 --> 00:22:36,480 antagonistic competition uh to this this 402 00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:38,240 cooperation and i think it's it's a 403 00:22:42,390 --> 00:22:40,640 really uh it enables us to do much much 404 00:22:44,470 --> 00:22:42,400 more than we would be able to do 405 00:22:46,870 --> 00:22:44,480 on our own you know if we think back 406 00:22:48,870 --> 00:22:46,880 to the columbia tragedy you know all the 407 00:22:51,110 --> 00:22:48,880 the partners stood by us the russians 408 00:22:52,549 --> 00:22:51,120 stood by us everybody stood by us and 409 00:22:54,310 --> 00:22:52,559 that's what the strength of the 410 00:22:56,470 --> 00:22:54,320 international partnership is is that we 411 00:22:57,830 --> 00:22:56,480 are with each other we we support each 412 00:23:00,789 --> 00:22:57,840 other in the good times and the bad 413 00:23:02,789 --> 00:23:00,799 times and now you know we all stand with 414 00:23:05,190 --> 00:23:02,799 our international partners and stand 415 00:23:06,789 --> 00:23:05,200 with our partners from japan while while 416 00:23:08,710 --> 00:23:06,799 they deal with the tragedy that they're 417 00:23:10,230 --> 00:23:08,720 dealing with uh during during the 418 00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:10,240 earthquake which affected a lot of the 419 00:23:14,710 --> 00:23:12,400 space operations there so you know i 420 00:23:16,390 --> 00:23:14,720 think uh we can accomplish much much 421 00:23:18,390 --> 00:23:16,400 more working together than any nation 422 00:23:20,310 --> 00:23:18,400 can do on its own and i say you know i 423 00:23:21,990 --> 00:23:20,320 think that transition has been really 424 00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:22,000 important that's really you know i'm 425 00:23:24,789 --> 00:23:23,600 really proud and honored to be a part of 426 00:23:27,270 --> 00:23:24,799 it 427 00:23:28,710 --> 00:23:27,280 now as a retired air force colonel 428 00:23:30,310 --> 00:23:28,720 could you have ever envisioned the us 429 00:23:33,270 --> 00:23:30,320 and russia working hand-in-hand as we 430 00:23:34,950 --> 00:23:33,280 are today on the iss a partnership born 431 00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:34,960 out of gagarin's launch 432 00:23:39,190 --> 00:23:37,280 yeah that you know it is still a little 433 00:23:41,269 --> 00:23:39,200 surrealistic to you know to be sitting 434 00:23:42,710 --> 00:23:41,279 here in this in this place that was once 435 00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:42,720 you know top secret and wasn't even on 436 00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:43,600 the map 437 00:23:49,269 --> 00:23:46,640 um you know to to where we are today and 438 00:23:50,789 --> 00:23:49,279 and to you know see this rocket that's 439 00:23:52,390 --> 00:23:50,799 being you know that's honoring yuri 440 00:23:53,909 --> 00:23:52,400 gagarin and honoring this first launch 441 00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:53,919 with his picture and his name on the 442 00:23:57,909 --> 00:23:55,919 rocket and then to see a russian flag an 443 00:23:59,909 --> 00:23:57,919 american flag on the same rocket you 444 00:24:02,710 --> 00:23:59,919 know it's it's really amazing and it 445 00:24:05,350 --> 00:24:02,720 really um you know it it warms my heart 446 00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:05,360 i mean i i think this is 447 00:24:09,269 --> 00:24:07,360 something that you know i didn't think 448 00:24:10,630 --> 00:24:09,279 i mean i hoped would happen someday but 449 00:24:12,310 --> 00:24:10,640 i never really thought it would happen 450 00:24:15,510 --> 00:24:12,320 as fast as it happened and i think it's 451 00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:17,350 why is gagarin not only honored but 452 00:24:22,390 --> 00:24:19,840 revered in russia 50 years later later 453 00:24:23,190 --> 00:24:22,400 as a national hero and an icon 454 00:24:24,549 --> 00:24:23,200 well 455 00:24:26,310 --> 00:24:24,559 you know like 456 00:24:28,149 --> 00:24:26,320 all great explorers you know he did 457 00:24:29,510 --> 00:24:28,159 something that had never been done 458 00:24:31,990 --> 00:24:29,520 before 459 00:24:33,430 --> 00:24:32,000 and i'm pretty sure that he didn't know 460 00:24:36,710 --> 00:24:33,440 if he was going to be successful and he 461 00:24:38,390 --> 00:24:36,720 would be returning back alive um and so 462 00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:38,400 you know he made 463 00:24:42,710 --> 00:24:40,640 you know a very very big sacrifice he 464 00:24:44,789 --> 00:24:42,720 took a very very big risk and he did it 465 00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:44,799 because i'm sure he thought that there 466 00:24:48,710 --> 00:24:46,480 was going to be you know a big benefit 467 00:24:51,750 --> 00:24:48,720 for doing that a benefit for all mankind 468 00:24:53,029 --> 00:24:51,760 and so you know he rightly is viewed as 469 00:24:55,269 --> 00:24:53,039 as a hero 470 00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:55,279 and not he's not just a hero for russia 471 00:24:59,269 --> 00:24:57,120 he's a hero for the whole world because 472 00:25:00,789 --> 00:24:59,279 you know what he did enabled the you 473 00:25:02,789 --> 00:25:00,799 know all of us to do what we're doing 474 00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:02,799 today 475 00:25:06,230 --> 00:25:04,320 so from one orbit of the earth in a 476 00:25:08,470 --> 00:25:06,240 small capsule to a half a dozen people 477 00:25:10,310 --> 00:25:08,480 living and working in space aboard the 478 00:25:12,470 --> 00:25:10,320 international space station could anyone 479 00:25:14,470 --> 00:25:12,480 have forecast how the guerin's flight 480 00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:14,480 would have led just eight years later to 481 00:25:18,149 --> 00:25:16,559 americans like walking on the moon and 482 00:25:20,549 --> 00:25:18,159 then to the day in the research and 483 00:25:21,590 --> 00:25:20,559 science being conducted on the iss yeah 484 00:25:23,590 --> 00:25:21,600 um 485 00:25:25,669 --> 00:25:23,600 you know i looking back 486 00:25:28,310 --> 00:25:25,679 you know you know sending 487 00:25:29,909 --> 00:25:28,320 men to the moon as fast as we did i i to 488 00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:29,919 this day i don't know how they did it 489 00:25:34,390 --> 00:25:32,000 those guys that whole team of people 490 00:25:35,750 --> 00:25:34,400 that that did that in that program were 491 00:25:37,669 --> 00:25:35,760 giants and 492 00:25:40,549 --> 00:25:37,679 what they did i think 493 00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:40,559 is prove that you know we can do 494 00:25:43,990 --> 00:25:42,480 whatever we set our mind to as long as 495 00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:44,000 we are committed to do it we're 496 00:25:47,190 --> 00:25:45,679 determined we're motivated we can do 497 00:25:49,029 --> 00:25:47,200 whatever we have the ability to do 498 00:25:51,029 --> 00:25:49,039 whatever we set our mind to and so you 499 00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:51,039 know i think that's really a motivating 500 00:25:55,029 --> 00:25:53,440 thing for me and what that has led to as 501 00:25:56,310 --> 00:25:55,039 you said is six people you know from 502 00:25:57,669 --> 00:25:56,320 different nations living on board the 503 00:25:59,350 --> 00:25:57,679 space station we've had a continuous 504 00:26:02,230 --> 00:25:59,360 presence on the international space 505 00:26:04,230 --> 00:26:02,240 station since the year 2000 and you know 506 00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:04,240 now that the station is is 507 00:26:08,310 --> 00:26:06,640 you know 99 built and it's being 508 00:26:10,230 --> 00:26:08,320 utilized for what it was designed for 509 00:26:11,590 --> 00:26:10,240 and that's an orbiting laboratory we're 510 00:26:13,510 --> 00:26:11,600 starting to see some of the payback on 511 00:26:14,470 --> 00:26:13,520 our investment we're starting to see a 512 00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:14,480 lot of the science a lot of the 513 00:26:17,830 --> 00:26:15,760 discoveries that are being made and 514 00:26:20,950 --> 00:26:17,840 these discoveries and this research is 515 00:26:22,789 --> 00:26:20,960 not just to help us to go further in 516 00:26:25,190 --> 00:26:22,799 space exploration we are doing 517 00:26:26,789 --> 00:26:25,200 significant research to help things help 518 00:26:29,029 --> 00:26:26,799 problems help challenges help solve 519 00:26:30,870 --> 00:26:29,039 challenges and problems that we face on 520 00:26:33,510 --> 00:26:30,880 the earth and it's really uh very 521 00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:33,520 rewarding to be a part of that research 522 00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:35,120 so ryan what will it be like for you 523 00:26:39,110 --> 00:26:37,360 personally to be on orbit on the 50th 524 00:26:40,630 --> 00:26:39,120 anniversary of gagarin's achievement 525 00:26:41,669 --> 00:26:40,640 yeah it's gonna 526 00:26:44,710 --> 00:26:41,679 it's gonna be interesting you know when 527 00:26:46,549 --> 00:26:44,720 i when i was a kid um i had an interest 528 00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:46,559 not only in the u.s space program i had 529 00:26:50,710 --> 00:26:48,480 an interest in the russian space program 530 00:26:53,190 --> 00:26:50,720 as well and and the reason for that 531 00:26:54,870 --> 00:26:53,200 is um because of a story that my 532 00:26:57,190 --> 00:26:54,880 grandfather would tell us when we were 533 00:26:59,110 --> 00:26:57,200 kids and i'm i'm 534 00:27:00,630 --> 00:26:59,120 pretty sure i'm almost positive that 535 00:27:02,710 --> 00:27:00,640 this story is not true 536 00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:02,720 but as a kid you know i really believe 537 00:27:07,590 --> 00:27:05,600 that it was true and so the story is is 538 00:27:09,110 --> 00:27:07,600 that when my when 539 00:27:11,669 --> 00:27:09,120 when my grandfather's father my 540 00:27:13,909 --> 00:27:11,679 great-grandfather immigrated to the u.s 541 00:27:16,630 --> 00:27:13,919 from russia and it was at ellis island 542 00:27:17,830 --> 00:27:16,640 um you know his his name was yvonne 543 00:27:20,470 --> 00:27:17,840 gagarin 544 00:27:22,470 --> 00:27:20,480 and that he thought that didn't sound 545 00:27:23,430 --> 00:27:22,480 american enough so he changed it to john 546 00:27:25,430 --> 00:27:23,440 garan 547 00:27:27,029 --> 00:27:25,440 and um 548 00:27:28,549 --> 00:27:27,039 then the story goes on you know my 549 00:27:29,350 --> 00:27:28,559 grandfather went on to say and we're of 550 00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:29,360 course 551 00:27:33,269 --> 00:27:31,360 related to yuri gagarin so i really 552 00:27:35,110 --> 00:27:33,279 thought as a kid that there was some 553 00:27:36,950 --> 00:27:35,120 kind of family connection with yuri 554 00:27:38,549 --> 00:27:36,960 gagarin i've never i mean it's not true 555 00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:38,559 i'm sure it's not true it's it's just a 556 00:27:41,990 --> 00:27:40,640 story but you know i had that interest 557 00:27:43,990 --> 00:27:42,000 as a little kid 558 00:27:45,110 --> 00:27:44,000 and it's funny because alexander 559 00:27:46,710 --> 00:27:45,120 samakota 560 00:27:49,029 --> 00:27:46,720 you know growing up was called little 561 00:27:51,510 --> 00:27:49,039 yuri too and you know now he's the 562 00:27:53,190 --> 00:27:51,520 commander of a soyuz on the you know 563 00:27:55,029 --> 00:27:53,200 pretty close to the 50th anniversary so 564 00:27:57,830 --> 00:27:55,039 it's a it's pretty interesting 565 00:28:00,070 --> 00:27:57,840 experience um so it'll be you know 566 00:28:03,510 --> 00:28:00,080 obviously it'll be a great honor to be 567 00:28:04,950 --> 00:28:03,520 celebrating uh in space during that 568 00:28:06,230 --> 00:28:04,960 anniversary it's a very significant 569 00:28:09,029 --> 00:28:06,240 event and i can't think of a better 570 00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:09,039 place to celebrate it than on orbit 571 00:28:13,750 --> 00:28:10,799 i'm sure ron rob would probably come up 572 00:28:17,190 --> 00:28:13,760 with a second question based on that 573 00:28:21,190 --> 00:28:19,029 um 574 00:28:23,110 --> 00:28:21,200 just three weeks after gagarin's flight 575 00:28:24,789 --> 00:28:23,120 a navy test pilot named alan shepard 576 00:28:25,990 --> 00:28:24,799 became the first american to fly in 577 00:28:27,510 --> 00:28:26,000 space 578 00:28:29,430 --> 00:28:27,520 what significance do you believe the 579 00:28:31,669 --> 00:28:29,440 launch of freedom 7 and shepard head and 580 00:28:33,190 --> 00:28:31,679 getting the us back in the game 581 00:28:35,590 --> 00:28:33,200 as project mercury in this nation's 582 00:28:37,029 --> 00:28:35,600 human space flight program began yeah um 583 00:28:39,350 --> 00:28:37,039 well that's another anniversary that 584 00:28:41,350 --> 00:28:39,360 we're going to get to celebrate um and 585 00:28:43,350 --> 00:28:41,360 that was a big step for for our nation i 586 00:28:44,950 --> 00:28:43,360 mean that obviously was our first step 587 00:28:47,750 --> 00:28:44,960 into space and 588 00:28:49,990 --> 00:28:47,760 you know that's that first step set the 589 00:28:51,430 --> 00:28:50,000 stage for everything that happened after 590 00:28:54,149 --> 00:28:51,440 which included going you know going to 591 00:28:56,230 --> 00:28:54,159 the moon landing on the moon and then 592 00:28:58,310 --> 00:28:56,240 then now the space station and so you 593 00:29:00,549 --> 00:28:58,320 know that was a big step um and one that 594 00:29:02,789 --> 00:29:00,559 we should celebrate 595 00:29:04,470 --> 00:29:02,799 so coincidentally twenty years to the 596 00:29:05,750 --> 00:29:04,480 day after gagarin's lines came the 597 00:29:07,669 --> 00:29:05,760 maiden fight of the space shuttle 598 00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:07,679 columbia to inaugurate the space shuttle 599 00:29:10,470 --> 00:29:08,720 era 600 00:29:11,909 --> 00:29:10,480 discuss the impact the shuttle has had 601 00:29:13,750 --> 00:29:11,919 on human space flight through this 602 00:29:15,830 --> 00:29:13,760 year's and your thoughts on the 603 00:29:17,029 --> 00:29:15,840 retirement of the shuttle and the impact 604 00:29:18,470 --> 00:29:17,039 that we'll have 605 00:29:21,110 --> 00:29:18,480 in the near future yeah i mean that was 606 00:29:22,710 --> 00:29:21,120 a very very bold mission uh a very 607 00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:22,720 daring mission and you know we talked 608 00:29:26,070 --> 00:29:24,320 about it first that was another first 609 00:29:27,830 --> 00:29:26,080 and you know john young and bob cribben 610 00:29:31,190 --> 00:29:27,840 flying that that mission was just 611 00:29:32,870 --> 00:29:31,200 amazing and you know the the 612 00:29:35,830 --> 00:29:32,880 the history of the space shuttle since 613 00:29:37,750 --> 00:29:35,840 then has been absolutely remarkable and 614 00:29:39,430 --> 00:29:37,760 i you know unfortunately i think it's 615 00:29:41,269 --> 00:29:39,440 going to be many many 616 00:29:43,430 --> 00:29:41,279 hopefully not that many but it's going 617 00:29:45,269 --> 00:29:43,440 to be a while you know probably a few 618 00:29:46,789 --> 00:29:45,279 decades at least before we have the 619 00:29:48,630 --> 00:29:46,799 capability that the space shuttle 620 00:29:50,710 --> 00:29:48,640 provided us and 621 00:29:52,789 --> 00:29:50,720 you know the amount of 622 00:29:54,389 --> 00:29:52,799 things that the space shuttle had put in 623 00:29:56,789 --> 00:29:54,399 orbit the construction of the space 624 00:29:58,230 --> 00:29:56,799 station uh you know the hubble space 625 00:30:00,630 --> 00:29:58,240 telescope servicing the hubble space 626 00:30:02,149 --> 00:30:00,640 telescope all those things would not be 627 00:30:03,350 --> 00:30:02,159 possible if we didn't have the space 628 00:30:06,070 --> 00:30:03,360 shuttle and 629
