1
00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:14,070
so today

2
00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:17,039
we have already

3
00:00:22,790 --> 00:00:19,680
undergone the agency committee

4
00:00:25,509 --> 00:00:22,800
that determines crew readiness

5
00:00:26,630 --> 00:00:25,519
at the end of past week on thursday the

6
00:00:29,349 --> 00:00:26,640
crew

7
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:29,359
has undergone integrated

8
00:00:32,069 --> 00:00:30,400
sims

9
00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:32,079
i understand that many of you were

10
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:34,880
present in those simulations and

11
00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:36,960
i know that the crew has passed all the

12
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:37,920
tests

13
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:40,320
uh the grade is excellent

14
00:00:44,229 --> 00:00:41,440
and for

15
00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:44,239
today's procedure for the agency where

16
00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:46,239
there are various representatives

17
00:00:50,389 --> 00:00:48,559
present of various agencies and

18
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:50,399
organizations

19
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:53,280
everybody had signed the protocols

20
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:54,960
and

21
00:01:00,549 --> 00:00:58,559
concluded that or stated that the crew

22
00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:00,559
has completed their training

23
00:01:04,469 --> 00:01:03,039
and the crew is admitted to the

24
00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:04,479
completion

25
00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:07,280
of training

26
00:01:10,469 --> 00:01:09,360
and introductory

27
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:10,479
word

28
00:01:14,469 --> 00:01:12,000
that's enough for introduction if

29
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:14,479
anybody has any questions or if no

30
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:16,400
questions let's get started

31
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:18,880
uh who has questions

32
00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:21,360
were you able to train for all the

33
00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:23,759
contingency situations when you were

34
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:24,840
taking your

35
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:27,600
tests during our

36
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:40,469
we normally practice during erasums

37
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:43,680
we practice actions

38
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:47,840
in design contingency situations

39
00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:49,360
which means that

40
00:01:53,109 --> 00:01:51,920
we train for what has been discovered on

41
00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:53,119
the ground

42
00:01:59,510 --> 00:01:57,119
and so those are the anomalies that we

43
00:02:01,510 --> 00:01:59,520
simulate of course the off nominal

44
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:01,520
situations that are inadvertent

45
00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:03,759
unpredictable are impossible to train

46
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:04,560
for

47
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:06,240
um

48
00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:09,920
so we could say that if we did

49
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:12,160
train for them it was not completely

50
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:14,080
when we were applying our expedition

51
00:02:16,869 --> 00:02:15,680
three years ago

52
00:02:18,949 --> 00:02:16,879
then

53
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:18,959
there was a pump that failed and that

54
00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,080
was not a design contingency situation

55
00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:24,319
and um

56
00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:26,640
the bathroom the restaurant failed and

57
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:28,720
we were without the restroom for quite

58
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:31,040
for about a month no don't tell them

59
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:32,879
that because they'll say that they were

60
00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:40,470
here usually how do we deal with that

61
00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:42,959
usually we use our smarts and we use

62
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:46,480
whatever is available to us at least

63
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:52,070
uh we had

64
00:02:59,110 --> 00:02:53,200
already

65
00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:01,430
i'm going to add a little bit sergey

66
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:03,360
that although the training goes

67
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:06,560
according to the nominal program and the

68
00:03:12,390 --> 00:03:09,360
design contingency situations but some

69
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:12,400
of nominal situations are also

70
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:15,040
being simulated and at the

71
00:03:20,309 --> 00:03:17,760
stage of training the crew is thinking

72
00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:20,319
about what might happen

73
00:03:24,949 --> 00:03:22,800
if you look at the program of training

74
00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:24,959
and we have analyzed that

75
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:27,440
program the preparation for that

76
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:30,720
nominal program takes about 20 percent

77
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:33,440
of the training and 80 percent

78
00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:36,159
realistically it takes

79
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:38,159
to train for what is to be done if

80
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:39,920
something goes wrong so as far as the

81
00:03:43,270 --> 00:03:41,040
design

82
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:43,280
situations or of nominal situations are

83
00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:45,280
concerned that are not design situations

84
00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:48,239
the crew must be ready

85
00:03:54,869 --> 00:03:51,280
to mitigate those situations

86
00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:54,879
and also i remember now that of course

87
00:03:58,830 --> 00:03:57,120
during the space walk

88
00:04:01,429 --> 00:03:58,840
of our first

89
00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:01,439
colleague we

90
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:04,640
had to disassemble parabolas of our

91
00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:06,640
soyuz

92
00:04:11,429 --> 00:04:09,519
and nobody could have ever thought

93
00:04:12,830 --> 00:04:11,439
that the crew

94
00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:12,840
would have to go

95
00:04:16,789 --> 00:04:14,959
out and

96
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:16,799
work on our own

97
00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:18,560
vehicle

98
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:21,040
without coming back to the earth

99
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:23,680
so we have to do some modifications in

100
00:04:29,909 --> 00:04:26,560
order to get back safely to earth

101
00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:31,909
it's hard to work in space anyway

102
00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:38,790
and

103
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:40,400
in flight

104
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:42,960
and also sergey konstantinovich

105
00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:44,560
visited

106
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:50,230
deputy general designer

107
00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:51,440
visited

108
00:05:03,749 --> 00:04:52,400
and

109
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:03,759
as training is concerned

110
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:04,880
those are

111
00:05:10,150 --> 00:05:06,800
questions which people are not ready to

112
00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:10,160
ask speaking of training

113
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:12,400
certain skills are formed

114
00:05:17,189 --> 00:05:16,080
it's it's not just that applied program

115
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:17,199
is

116
00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:20,400
simulated but during the training

117
00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:22,240
the skill

118
00:05:28,469 --> 00:05:24,960
that is formed can also be used for

119
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:30,950
not necessarily for

120
00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:33,360
nominal flight itself and last time what

121
00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:35,840
we had to do

122
00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:38,639
the skill that has been created the

123
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:40,639
overall generic skill

124
00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:42,960
with working with the station

125
00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:45,919
came in very handy

126
00:05:50,390 --> 00:05:48,160
more questions

127
00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:50,400
mr foster michael can you compare

128
00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:53,600
preparation to use flight uh

129
00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:55,680
with the shuttle preparation uh the

130
00:06:01,029 --> 00:05:57,600
first question the question to mr

131
00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:01,039
furukawa are can you please

132
00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:04,800
your medical specialist does it help you

133
00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:06,479
in your scientific program and what is

134
00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:08,960
your scientific program on board the

135
00:06:14,309 --> 00:06:11,039
international space station so you can

136
00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:14,319
answer that okay i'll start out the the

137
00:06:17,189 --> 00:06:16,160
preparation for a space shuttle mission

138
00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:17,199
is about

139
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:18,720
a year

140
00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:24,560
for about eight months we were assigned

141
00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:26,160
to this flight

142
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:28,240
about two and a half years

143
00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:30,000
before i was assigned two and a half

144
00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:33,120
years before it's a much longer road and

145
00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:34,880
you're traveling around the world

146
00:06:36,629 --> 00:06:35,919
training

147
00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:36,639
in

148
00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:38,000
the us

149
00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:41,120
in russia a lot in japan

150
00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:44,720
in germany in canada and so it's it's a

151
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:47,360
long road it's a it's a great

152
00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:49,919
uh great thing though to to work with

153
00:06:54,629 --> 00:06:52,720
the some of the finest people

154
00:06:58,469 --> 00:06:54,639
around the world in the space program

155
00:07:01,589 --> 00:06:58,479
and it's been a great experience for me

156
00:07:06,550 --> 00:07:01,599
okay as a medical doctor i am interested

157
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:07,749
is it okay

158
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:08,800
okay

159
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:11,440
and uh i would like to explain

160
00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:14,319
and inform the uh importance and the

161
00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:17,680
significance of experiments on board the

162
00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:19,360
station

163
00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:20,960
during our mission

164
00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:23,520
uh i'm

165
00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:26,639
doing conducting a plant experiment

166
00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:28,400
using cucumbers

167
00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:29,360
and that

168
00:07:37,909 --> 00:07:36,080
its distribution affects the uh

169
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:37,919
generation

170
00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:41,440
of and the growth of plants

171
00:07:45,430 --> 00:07:44,240
and in this experiment we concentrate on

172
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:45,440
the

173
00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:54,720
works

174
00:07:58,550 --> 00:07:57,039
and it will benefit people all over the

175
00:08:01,510 --> 00:07:58,560
world for example

176
00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:01,520
in the future uh space plant

177
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:04,080
and uh as a medical doctor

178
00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:05,360
uh if

179
00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:07,680
some something medical emergency happens

180
00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:09,199
on board the station

181
00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:12,160
i'd be happy to i hope that kind of

182
00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:13,120
thing

183
00:08:16,469 --> 00:08:15,520
does not happen but that if it does

184
00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:16,479
happen

185
00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:19,199
uh i'd be happy to help

186
00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:22,240
our fellow crew members

187
00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:27,440
what kind of talisman or good luck charm

188
00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:29,360
are you going to have

189
00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:35,829
a major portion of experiments that is

190
00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:41,269
is a continuation of the scientific

191
00:08:47,829 --> 00:08:43,760
program that we have started three that

192
00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:50,150
during our

193
00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:50,959
uh

194
00:09:00,310 --> 00:08:58,870
maintain communication we're going to do

195
00:09:02,949 --> 00:09:00,320
the appropriate

196
00:09:05,430 --> 00:09:02,959
work with that hardware

197
00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:05,440
and if everything is successful

198
00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:09,360
uh it will allow us to process a large

199
00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:12,160
volumes of information unfortunately we

200
00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:12,959
can

201
00:09:17,829 --> 00:09:15,200
do it now

202
00:09:26,870 --> 00:09:17,839
otherwise naturally there will be

203
00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:29,430
to decipher those experiments probably

204
00:09:34,070 --> 00:09:30,959
doesn't make any sense because it will

205
00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:34,080
take a long time

206
00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:36,959
to so we're going to continue our

207
00:09:42,310 --> 00:09:41,279
experiments senior hurricane oregon

208
00:09:43,590 --> 00:09:42,320
and

209
00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:43,600
also

210
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:46,560
experiments devote to the studies of the

211
00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:48,560
waters of the

212
00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:51,839
world ocean and those will be

213
00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:54,160
experiments directed towards uh

214
00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:56,240
mitigating or

215
00:10:01,430 --> 00:09:59,600
fighting the elemental disasters

216
00:10:03,190 --> 00:10:01,440
also

217
00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:03,200
there will be studies atmospheric

218
00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:05,040
studies and maybe we'll do a certain

219
00:10:10,870 --> 00:10:08,000
analysis which will improve

220
00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:10,880
the ability to forecast elemental

221
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:13,680
disasters all of those regions are

222
00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:16,000
photographed are studied

223
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:17,440
and

224
00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:20,160
senior that is

225
00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:21,920
to aid our

226
00:10:26,150 --> 00:10:24,160
fleet so that we could always have fresh

227
00:10:29,030 --> 00:10:26,160
fish

228
00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:29,040
also the experiments are continuing

229
00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:31,360
uh on the studies of radiation

230
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:33,600
background around the earth

231
00:10:37,269 --> 00:10:35,680
and the effect of radiation

232
00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:37,279
both solar

233
00:10:42,069 --> 00:10:39,600
radiation and other radiation both on

234
00:10:44,389 --> 00:10:42,079
the people that are on the station and

235
00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:44,399
also on the station itself

236
00:10:53,110 --> 00:10:50,710
alexander and i are going to install a

237
00:10:55,829 --> 00:10:53,120
new series of specimens

238
00:10:57,269 --> 00:10:55,839
which will be exposed on the surface of

239
00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:57,279
the station

240
00:11:04,630 --> 00:10:59,839
so these are the major experiments that

241
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:07,350
this last time i had a little dogeno i

242
00:11:11,030 --> 00:11:10,320
had a bat a soft bat flying last time

243
00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:11,040
and

244
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:17,110
as a child

245
00:11:21,590 --> 00:11:19,760
he watches movies and

246
00:11:23,590 --> 00:11:21,600
so he's interested in the popular

247
00:11:26,790 --> 00:11:23,600
characters of

248
00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:26,800
modern cartoons

249
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:39,750
a character from a cartoon

250
00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:42,710
you have undergone successful

251
00:11:46,630 --> 00:11:44,160
training

252
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:46,640
and you have passed all the tests

253
00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:49,040
with the great excellent

254
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:51,040
what is your mood

255
00:12:07,670 --> 00:11:53,680
what is your feeling when uh

256
00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:09,829
because of my excellent

257
00:12:15,269 --> 00:12:11,680
instructors

258
00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:19,750
and i am proud

259
00:12:25,190 --> 00:12:21,990
that i am a member of a wonderful

260
00:12:29,030 --> 00:12:25,200
international crew

261
00:12:31,990 --> 00:12:29,040
and this is a great honor for me

262
00:12:34,310 --> 00:12:32,000
space flight is

263
00:12:49,509 --> 00:12:34,320
and especially because it's close to the

264
00:12:55,110 --> 00:12:53,190
the international cooperation will grow

265
00:12:57,750 --> 00:12:55,120
questions

266
00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:57,760
what is your updated information to have

267
00:13:02,550 --> 00:12:59,920
a conversation with different topic

268
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:02,560
throughout your aspect

269
00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:04,560
which date it can be what kind of

270
00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:12,069
okay

271
00:13:15,990 --> 00:13:14,079
uh

272
00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:16,000
i requested

273
00:13:20,389 --> 00:13:18,800
that i have some

274
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:20,399
meeting

275
00:13:27,030 --> 00:13:23,680
uh with those that suffered from uh

276
00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:27,040
earthquake in tohoku area and it is

277
00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:30,079
still under uh coordination

278
00:13:35,269 --> 00:13:32,000
so uh

279
00:13:37,590 --> 00:13:35,279
at this point i cannot uh

280
00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:37,600
clarify the date stephanie stole his

281
00:13:41,110 --> 00:13:39,440
massive tv for mike

282
00:13:42,710 --> 00:13:41,120
what is your level of excitement as you

283
00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:42,720
head into your final months of training

284
00:13:49,590 --> 00:13:47,350
hey stephanie that's a great question

285
00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:49,600
it's been a long road getting here uh

286
00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:51,760
and it's been a hard road getting here

287
00:13:55,990 --> 00:13:53,600
we've gone through a lot we've trained

288
00:13:58,629 --> 00:13:56,000
really hard together i've become like

289
00:14:01,430 --> 00:13:58,639
brothers with my crewmates and uh it's

290
00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:01,440
an exciting thing so we're ready for

291
00:14:05,590 --> 00:14:03,440
for the next step as we uh we've

292
00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:05,600
completed our training in star city with

293
00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:07,600
the commissions last week

294
00:14:11,269 --> 00:14:10,079
uh that was a great step and now we move

295
00:14:14,389 --> 00:14:11,279
forward to

296
00:14:15,990 --> 00:14:14,399
uh to baikonur in next week where we

297
00:14:18,069 --> 00:14:16,000
complete the final fit checks and

298
00:14:19,829 --> 00:14:18,079
preparations and trainings there so

299
00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:19,839
we're excited about it's a long road but

300
00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:21,760
now most of that hard work is on the

301
00:14:28,949 --> 00:14:23,760
ground is behind us and we're looking

302
00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:30,710
work on space shuttle endeavor do you

303
00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:33,839
have any thoughts as we head into that

304
00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:36,160
we're keeping track of endeavors uh in

305
00:14:39,910 --> 00:14:38,240
progress uh through the countdown and

306
00:14:42,230 --> 00:14:39,920
and uh the progress through the night as

307
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:42,240
they begin you know the the rotation and

308
00:14:46,230 --> 00:14:44,560
the fueling and everything so we're

309
00:14:48,150 --> 00:14:46,240
we're keeping track of the guys and

310
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:48,160
we're cheering them on and i've flown

311
00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:50,399
twice with mark and i can't believe he's

312
00:14:54,870 --> 00:14:52,720
going to space without me i gave him a

313
00:14:55,829 --> 00:14:54,880
hard time and told him if he waited too

314
00:14:59,829 --> 00:14:55,839
long

315
00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:03,829
a question to continue the subject of

316
00:15:09,829 --> 00:15:07,600
earthquake is there such a

317
00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:09,839
a special program

318
00:15:15,189 --> 00:15:12,800
of japanese russian

319
00:15:20,629 --> 00:15:15,199
astronauts and cosmonauts

320
00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:23,750
maybe there are capabilities to see what

321
00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:25,760
happens

322
00:15:30,949 --> 00:15:29,040
in japan from onboard the iss is it

323
00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:30,959
possible to forecast

324
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,269
okay

325
00:15:44,629 --> 00:15:41,910
there is uh

326
00:15:47,189 --> 00:15:44,639
of course from uh international space

327
00:15:49,430 --> 00:15:47,199
station astronauts and cosmonauts can

328
00:15:50,470 --> 00:15:49,440
observe the earth

329
00:15:51,749 --> 00:15:50,480
and that

330
00:15:53,590 --> 00:15:51,759
can

331
00:15:55,189 --> 00:15:53,600
take photographs

332
00:15:57,110 --> 00:15:55,199
of the

333
00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:57,120
area

334
00:16:02,949 --> 00:15:58,079
and

335
00:16:13,110 --> 00:16:05,269
there is no

336
00:16:15,670 --> 00:16:14,550
i'm going to add

337
00:16:17,670 --> 00:16:15,680
in

338
00:16:21,030 --> 00:16:17,680
right now there is no program to

339
00:16:21,910 --> 00:16:21,040
forecast earthquakes or track down

340
00:16:23,910 --> 00:16:21,920
the

341
00:16:25,189 --> 00:16:23,920
movement of tsunami

342
00:16:27,829 --> 00:16:25,199
and

343
00:16:30,069 --> 00:16:27,839
unfortunately earthquakes

344
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:30,079
to what we could help

345
00:16:34,150 --> 00:16:31,600
with is to

346
00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:34,160
do photographs and of course photographs

347
00:16:39,189 --> 00:16:36,160
are a consequence

348
00:16:42,550 --> 00:16:39,199
and if there is a good resolution and a

349
00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:42,560
good area could be covered

350
00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:45,040
unfortunately nowadays or in this

351
00:16:49,030 --> 00:16:46,480
particular case

352
00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:49,040
we work with the evaluation of the

353
00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:50,399
results

354
00:16:54,389 --> 00:16:52,320
of the consequences but unfortunately

355
00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:54,399
we're unable to forecast

356
00:16:58,629 --> 00:16:56,959
extreme situations i would like to add

357
00:17:00,629 --> 00:16:58,639
also

358
00:17:02,230 --> 00:17:00,639
indeed you can take pictures of what has

359
00:17:05,029 --> 00:17:02,240
already happened

360
00:17:08,230 --> 00:17:05,039
so to speak of the fact that the picture

361
00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:08,240
may help forecast it's not quite correct

362
00:17:13,429 --> 00:17:10,720
um and uh during my

363
00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:13,439
previous flight there was katrina

364
00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:15,520
hurricane

365
00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:17,280
which has

366
00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:19,600
done serious damage in the south of the

367
00:17:23,909 --> 00:17:22,160
united states the new early new orleans

368
00:17:25,510 --> 00:17:23,919
the city of new orleans

369
00:17:26,549 --> 00:17:25,520
suffered greatly

370
00:17:29,110 --> 00:17:26,559
um

371
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:29,120
we saw a huge cloud

372
00:17:33,590 --> 00:17:30,960
and

373
00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:33,600
meteorological satellites

374
00:17:37,110 --> 00:17:35,760
may show photography with greater

375
00:17:39,110 --> 00:17:37,120
resolution

376
00:17:41,669 --> 00:17:39,120
uh but the results that we have if we

377
00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:41,679
were to talk about earthquakes then if

378
00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:43,280
you were to

379
00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:45,120
look at it from

380
00:17:51,110 --> 00:17:48,320
onboard the iss you can't really see

381
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:51,120
much but indirectly one might be able to

382
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:52,480
predict

383
00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:55,200
the signs the symptoms of

384
00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:57,919
an earthquake

385
00:18:03,029 --> 00:17:59,200
not

386
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:03,039
development of

387
00:18:07,029 --> 00:18:05,360
earthquake or tsunami because it may be

388
00:18:08,789 --> 00:18:07,039
in quite a different

389
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:08,799
area it may be conditioned by the

390
00:18:13,590 --> 00:18:11,200
geomagnetic properties of the earth of

391
00:18:17,190 --> 00:18:15,110
right now there are scientific

392
00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:17,200
experiments that are ongoing on that

393
00:18:19,830 --> 00:18:18,240
subject

394
00:18:22,390 --> 00:18:19,840
and uh

395
00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:22,400
data collection is ongoing and it's not

396
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:24,720
about

397
00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:26,240
forecasting

398
00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:30,870
the only

399
00:18:36,549 --> 00:18:33,840
thing where we could participate in

400
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:36,559
forecasting catastrophes

401
00:18:43,029 --> 00:18:40,000
is that the ice caps are photographed

402
00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:45,270
if you remember

403
00:18:52,390 --> 00:18:46,960
there were pictures

404
00:18:57,029 --> 00:18:54,230
five days

405
00:18:59,190 --> 00:18:57,039
ahead of time where the scientists were

406
00:19:01,590 --> 00:18:59,200
able to see that the ice cap was going

407
00:19:05,029 --> 00:19:02,710
descend

408
00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:07,750
right now

409
00:19:12,950 --> 00:19:11,350
it's clear that it happened unexpectedly

410
00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:12,960
because of the

411
00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:14,320
procedural

412
00:19:18,950 --> 00:19:17,760
complications but right now you can see

413
00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:18,960
our main

414
00:19:25,350 --> 00:19:22,240
task is photography of ice caps and

415
00:19:27,190 --> 00:19:25,360
monitoring that is continuing uh the

416
00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:27,200
coca ice cap

417
00:19:33,510 --> 00:19:28,160
and

418
00:19:35,430 --> 00:19:33,520
tracking down the motion of the ice caps

419
00:19:39,909 --> 00:19:35,440
this is all

420
00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:41,190
also

421
00:19:45,390 --> 00:19:42,799
as far as a

422
00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:45,400
as a blog is concerned uh we're

423
00:19:49,150 --> 00:19:46,960
communicating

424
00:19:51,270 --> 00:19:49,160
about the blog with ross cosmos

425
00:19:53,029 --> 00:19:51,280
representatives and you're probably

426
00:19:55,029 --> 00:19:53,039
aware of that right now we're just in

427
00:19:57,510 --> 00:19:55,039
the process of analyzing

428
00:19:58,710 --> 00:19:57,520
what which is what is more interesting

429
00:20:01,350 --> 00:19:58,720
perhaps

430
00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:01,360
and maybe not cost

431
00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:04,559
too costly as far as uh work hours are

432
00:20:09,590 --> 00:20:07,200
concerned so

433
00:20:13,990 --> 00:20:09,600
we will have something for sure

434
00:20:18,149 --> 00:20:16,470
what is the easiest way to learn what

435
00:20:20,390 --> 00:20:18,159
you're going to go through before flight

436
00:20:24,149 --> 00:20:20,400
is to ask your colleagues to consult

437
00:20:24,159 --> 00:20:30,470
opinions

438
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:47,590
sergey is an outstanding commander

439
00:20:54,230 --> 00:20:52,310
i think that the variety is important

440
00:20:57,669 --> 00:20:54,240
both as far as international

441
00:20:58,870 --> 00:20:57,679
representation and experience

442
00:21:00,870 --> 00:20:58,880
and

443
00:21:02,870 --> 00:21:00,880
we are that

444
00:21:05,510 --> 00:21:02,880
way both

445
00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:05,520
as a crew and also

446
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:15,350
we are well synchronized as the crew

447
00:21:19,909 --> 00:21:17,909
and i'm in the process of studying it

448
00:21:23,110 --> 00:21:19,919
uh further we're working together very

449
00:21:29,990 --> 00:21:23,120
well to share their experience with you

450
00:21:33,510 --> 00:21:32,549
yes yes for example uh what was

451
00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:33,520
different

452
00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:36,080
from what you thought from taking

453
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,190
well i

454
00:21:47,590 --> 00:21:45,350
i asked a question what were the

455
00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:47,600
difference between the training on the

456
00:21:56,549 --> 00:21:53,270
the thing is that

457
00:21:58,710 --> 00:21:56,559
as soon as we're together

458
00:22:00,149 --> 00:21:58,720
sooner or later

459
00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:00,159
of course we

460
00:22:05,430 --> 00:22:03,440
we don't always talk uh about work we

461
00:22:06,789 --> 00:22:05,440
have other topics to discuss but as a

462
00:22:10,310 --> 00:22:06,799
rule

463
00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:10,320
uh the analysis of any simulation

464
00:22:14,149 --> 00:22:12,480
during the deep breath we

465
00:22:16,549 --> 00:22:14,159
always

466
00:22:19,669 --> 00:22:16,559
pay attention at those things which are

467
00:22:22,390 --> 00:22:19,679
impossible to simulate

468
00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:22,400
so the data exchange is ongoing

469
00:22:27,750 --> 00:22:25,840
continuously uninterruptedly

470
00:22:29,909 --> 00:22:27,760
it's not just the main crew but the

471
00:22:32,710 --> 00:22:29,919
backup crew

472
00:22:35,510 --> 00:22:32,720
participates and

473
00:22:39,190 --> 00:22:35,520
satoshi is worried about over

474
00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:42,230
we have very good relationships

475
00:22:50,710 --> 00:22:47,830
usually

476
00:22:53,909 --> 00:22:50,720
as a rule there are certain fine points

477
00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:53,919
that come up which you can't remember

478
00:22:58,070 --> 00:22:55,679
immediately

479
00:23:00,390 --> 00:22:58,080
and the process of

480
00:23:02,870 --> 00:23:00,400
formation of

481
00:23:03,909 --> 00:23:02,880
information exchange

482
00:23:07,110 --> 00:23:03,919
as

483
00:23:09,990 --> 00:23:07,120
it happened 10 years ago

484
00:23:12,070 --> 00:23:10,000
where my commander shared his experience

485
00:23:13,430 --> 00:23:12,080
with me not only during training but

486
00:23:23,029 --> 00:23:13,440
also during

487
00:23:26,149 --> 00:23:24,710
so

488
00:23:26,870 --> 00:23:26,159
what about

489
00:23:29,430 --> 00:23:26,880
the

490
00:23:31,909 --> 00:23:29,440
everyday life moments that you cannot

491
00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:31,919
simulate

492
00:23:35,110 --> 00:23:32,880
this is

493
00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:35,120
the main thing of course

494
00:23:39,430 --> 00:23:38,320
because during the work on the station

495
00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:39,440
uh

496
00:23:48,830 --> 00:23:45,840
houston but the quincy and details that

497
00:23:50,630 --> 00:23:48,840
are easier to bear

498
00:23:52,310 --> 00:23:50,640
um

499
00:23:56,470 --> 00:23:52,320
are less costly

500
00:24:02,870 --> 00:23:59,190
the simplest one is

501
00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:04,470
there's certain details let's say how do

502
00:24:13,590 --> 00:24:10,549
what sort of things are

503
00:24:15,750 --> 00:24:13,600
you going to encounter

504
00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:15,760
any travel any trip

505
00:24:20,470 --> 00:24:18,640
any communication or any storytelling

506
00:24:22,149 --> 00:24:20,480
when the cosmonauts and astronauts get

507
00:24:25,029 --> 00:24:22,159
together and they

508
00:24:27,750 --> 00:24:25,039
uh reminisce about their flies

509
00:24:30,149 --> 00:24:27,760
and so this sort of thing even though

510
00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:30,159
it's not a formal lesson but

511
00:24:35,590 --> 00:24:32,640
such history session for such exchange

512
00:24:36,390 --> 00:24:35,600
of information is extremely useful

513
00:24:38,950 --> 00:24:36,400
uh

514
00:24:41,830 --> 00:24:38,960
especially because it has been heard

515
00:24:44,470 --> 00:24:41,840
not as a part of an official lesson but

516
00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:44,480
because you you've heard it from a real

517
00:24:48,630 --> 00:24:45,600
person

518
00:24:51,029 --> 00:24:48,640
to whom it occurred um in reality a

519
00:24:52,710 --> 00:24:51,039
couple of years ago in flight and so

520
00:24:55,430 --> 00:24:52,720
i've been telling such things to sergey

521
00:24:58,149 --> 00:24:55,440
i'm sure sergey does the same

522
00:25:01,029 --> 00:24:58,159
also when we were training for flight

523
00:25:03,590 --> 00:25:01,039
with oleg and during the traditional

524
00:25:06,549 --> 00:25:03,600
uh meeting with the medical

525
00:25:08,789 --> 00:25:06,559
specialists who participate also in

526
00:25:13,510 --> 00:25:08,799
planning uh as far as training is

527
00:25:16,789 --> 00:25:14,870
let's say

528
00:25:19,590 --> 00:25:16,799
i didn't have this information that i

529
00:25:22,630 --> 00:25:19,600
had to wait after eating a certain

530
00:25:24,789 --> 00:25:22,640
time before i do some physical training

531
00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:24,799
and on board

532
00:25:30,470 --> 00:25:27,600
it it turned out that it was not quite

533
00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:30,480
comfortable or convenient

534
00:25:36,149 --> 00:25:34,240
to do the physical exercise right away

535
00:25:42,230 --> 00:25:36,159
after

536
00:25:56,549 --> 00:25:43,590
you

537
00:26:07,669 --> 00:25:56,559
so these are those little things which

538
00:26:12,630 --> 00:26:08,710
you

539
00:26:13,909 --> 00:26:12,640
are a student of the russian academy

540
00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:13,919
and

541
00:26:19,990 --> 00:26:16,480
are you planning on

542
00:26:22,789 --> 00:26:20,000
taking an exam as a part of your study

543
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:22,799
yes i don't want to miss the exams that

544
00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:25,760
are at viewed and i believe that i will

545
00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:28,400
make sure that i'll take the necessary

546
00:26:32,789 --> 00:26:31,200
tests i already have a plan a curriculum

547
00:26:35,029 --> 00:26:32,799
of the next

548
00:26:37,190 --> 00:26:35,039
set of exams that i have to pass i got

549
00:26:39,590 --> 00:26:37,200
the email

550
00:26:46,149 --> 00:26:39,600
so it will take me a long time to answer

551
00:26:52,789 --> 00:26:49,669
sergey a question for you

552
00:26:56,870 --> 00:26:52,799
and the crew

553
00:27:03,510 --> 00:26:59,830
that you will be responsible for in

554
00:27:06,390 --> 00:27:05,269
if those are

555
00:27:07,750 --> 00:27:06,400
minor

556
00:27:11,430 --> 00:27:07,760
days

557
00:27:14,070 --> 00:27:11,440
minor events if the ground doesn't

558
00:27:15,190 --> 00:27:14,080
remind us

559
00:27:17,430 --> 00:27:15,200
then

560
00:27:20,310 --> 00:27:17,440
we won't be able to celebrate them but

561
00:27:23,430 --> 00:27:20,320
let's say

562
00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:23,440
remind us that today's been 50 days or

563
00:27:27,350 --> 00:27:25,120
or next time it's going to be 100 days

564
00:27:29,909 --> 00:27:27,360
if the ground sends us reminders then we

565
00:27:30,870 --> 00:27:29,919
will be celebrating certain minor events

566
00:27:34,310 --> 00:27:30,880
but

567
00:27:38,549 --> 00:27:36,149
we're only going to have three

568
00:27:42,149 --> 00:27:38,559
additional state holidays

569
00:27:43,669 --> 00:27:42,159
one of them is a russian holiday june

570
00:27:45,750 --> 00:27:43,679
12th and

571
00:27:47,750 --> 00:27:45,760
fourth of july is the american holiday

572
00:27:50,149 --> 00:27:47,760
and in september there is a there is a

573
00:27:51,990 --> 00:27:50,159
certain holiday as well

574
00:27:53,430 --> 00:27:52,000
and the final question

575
00:27:54,870 --> 00:27:53,440
this time

576
00:27:57,430 --> 00:27:54,880
i mean one of the things we will

577
00:27:59,830 --> 00:27:57,440
celebrate during this flight is the uh

578
00:28:01,830 --> 00:27:59,840
we will be there for the final

579
00:28:03,110 --> 00:28:01,840
space shuttle flight of

580
00:28:05,510 --> 00:28:03,120
the atlantis

581
00:28:07,909 --> 00:28:05,520
on sts-135

582
00:28:09,830 --> 00:28:07,919
we look forward to seeing chris ferguson

583
00:28:12,470 --> 00:28:09,840
and his crew

584
00:28:14,470 --> 00:28:12,480
it will be a an exciting time it will

585
00:28:18,549 --> 00:28:14,480
also be a sad time as the shuttle

586
00:28:21,110 --> 00:28:18,559
completes its 30 years of mission

587
00:28:25,350 --> 00:28:22,630
sergei

588
00:28:31,430 --> 00:28:28,149
it happened so that your first flight

589
00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:31,440
coincided with our anniversary

590
00:28:38,470 --> 00:28:32,480
and

591
00:28:41,350 --> 00:28:40,230
is also

592
00:28:42,950 --> 00:28:41,360
happens

593
00:28:46,789 --> 00:28:42,960
to be also

594
00:28:48,389 --> 00:28:46,799
coincides with the anniversary so um

595
00:28:50,470 --> 00:28:48,399
if you have

596
00:29:04,870 --> 00:28:50,480
any other questions for the backup crew

597
00:29:08,789 --> 00:29:07,269
my signal is eridan which is a

598
00:29:10,950 --> 00:29:08,799
constellation

599
00:29:18,230 --> 00:29:10,960
which starts in the north

600
00:29:22,789 --> 00:29:20,630
our signal is antares

601
00:29:26,710 --> 00:29:22,799
because

602
00:29:29,990 --> 00:29:27,909
from the

603
00:29:33,110 --> 00:29:30,000
constellation of bright

604
00:29:36,549 --> 00:29:33,990
and

605
00:29:38,830 --> 00:29:36,559
my children's names start with the

606
00:29:42,389 --> 00:29:38,840
letter a that's

607
00:29:45,350 --> 00:29:42,399
why i have chosen the brightest

608
00:30:01,830 --> 00:29:45,360
constellation it's orange it's called

609
00:30:08,950 --> 00:30:04,310
the question was did you call and ask

610
00:30:12,950 --> 00:30:11,269
because

611
00:30:14,950 --> 00:30:12,960
of him

612
00:30:16,549 --> 00:30:14,960
i have experienced

613
00:30:19,510 --> 00:30:16,559
cosmonauts

614
00:30:23,909 --> 00:30:19,520
vladimir tobe and sergey leona

615
00:30:25,269 --> 00:30:23,919
and of course sergey krikalov

616
00:30:27,190 --> 00:30:25,279
and

617
00:30:29,350 --> 00:30:27,200
nevertheless i called him as my

618
00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:29,360
commander and instructor

619
00:30:35,590 --> 00:30:32,320
and i called my father yes

620
00:30:38,950 --> 00:30:35,600
i told him what goes on on board

621
00:30:41,190 --> 00:30:38,960
what is expected on board and i

622
00:30:42,149 --> 00:30:41,200
and then he would tell me

623
00:30:43,510 --> 00:30:42,159
that

624
00:30:46,389 --> 00:30:43,520
i don't work

625
00:30:49,669 --> 00:30:46,399
hard enough that i have to work better

626
00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:49,679
so he was trying to fish me as a

627
00:30:55,750 --> 00:30:52,720
professional would teach his

628
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,269
and

629
00:31:03,190 --> 00:31:00,950
i took advantage of the fact that i know

630
00:31:06,230 --> 00:31:03,200
sergei perish personally i have called

631
00:31:08,710 --> 00:31:06,240
him and it was

632
00:31:10,310 --> 00:31:08,720
great to talk to him and

633
00:31:13,269 --> 00:31:10,320
i shared

634
00:31:15,110 --> 00:31:13,279
my observations with him

635
00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:15,120
which were very useful

636
00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:16,960
in terms of how the information is

637
00:31:20,230 --> 00:31:18,640
transmitted

638
00:31:21,430 --> 00:31:20,240
and

639
00:31:26,310 --> 00:31:21,440
it was

640
00:31:32,230 --> 00:31:29,190
that he knows exactly what to recommend

641
00:31:35,430 --> 00:31:32,240
what advice to give

642
00:31:37,830 --> 00:31:35,440
and what did you ask your father

643
00:31:41,350 --> 00:31:37,840
at first i complained to him how hard it

644
00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:41,360
is to do physical exercises on board

645
00:31:44,950 --> 00:31:43,679
and he said it was hard for him

646
00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:44,960
as well

647
00:31:49,669 --> 00:31:46,960
and that he was forced

648
00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:49,679
to do that and this is how he was able

649
00:31:53,669 --> 00:31:52,080
to maintain his health

650
00:31:56,149 --> 00:31:53,679
and so

651
00:31:57,750 --> 00:31:56,159
that was one of the first discoveries

652
00:32:00,230 --> 00:31:57,760
that we were talking about earlier how

653
00:32:02,789 --> 00:32:00,240
hard it was to do physical exercises on

654
00:32:05,350 --> 00:32:02,799
board it was a great press conference

655
00:32:08,149 --> 00:32:05,360
thank you everyone for your questions

656
00:32:10,230 --> 00:32:08,159
uh i think it was interesting for to

657
00:32:12,789 --> 00:32:10,240
everyone

658
00:32:14,470 --> 00:32:12,799

ahead

662
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:58,149
okay

663
00:33:01,669 --> 00:33:00,149
there's a lot of traditions associated

664
00:33:03,430 --> 00:33:01,679
with the russian program

665
00:33:04,950 --> 00:33:03,440
and stuff so we finished our the big

666
00:33:07,110 --> 00:33:04,960

667
00:33:08,789 --> 00:33:07,120
friday really big deal we come in and we

668
00:33:10,389 --> 00:33:08,799
stand at attention in front of the board

669
00:33:11,350 --> 00:33:10,399
of the commission and we reported in the

670
00:33:13,350 --> 00:33:11,360
morning

671
00:33:15,350 --> 00:33:13,360
and i did that the first day of

672
00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:15,360
the commander for the space station

673
00:33:18,470 --> 00:33:16,880
and then we go through the full day of

674
00:33:20,070 --> 00:33:18,480
going jumping through the hoops and

675
00:33:21,669 --> 00:33:20,080
running the systems and handling the

676
00:33:23,269 --> 00:33:21,679
emergencies and stuff

677
00:33:24,710 --> 00:33:23,279
and at the end of the day we sit down

678
00:33:26,470 --> 00:33:24,720
with the commission and they've been

679
00:33:28,389 --> 00:33:26,480
watching every detail of what we've been

680
00:33:30,389 --> 00:33:28,399

681
00:33:32,149 --> 00:33:30,399

691
00:33:50,710 --> 00:33:49,200

00:33:52,549 --> 00:33:50,720

00:38:22,950 --> 00:38:16,240
part of

00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:22,960
the progression that we have as we move

00:38:30,790 --> 00:38:24,800
closer and closer to launch to take part

764
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:44,310
that's
