mission here aboard the international

31
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:42,080
space station i want to first

32
00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:43,680
congratulate you

33
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:46,319
on the 150th anniversary of the

00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:49,360
university unification of italy

35
00:03:52,789 --> 00:03:52,000
our mission is largely about science and

36
00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:52,799
our

37
00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:56,959
payload is the as you probably know the

38
00:04:01,429 --> 00:03:59,200
alpha magnetic spectrometer

39
00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:01,439
my crew member roberto vittori our

40
00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:03,360
italian astronaut was instrumental in

41
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:05,040
getting that installed on the space

42
00:04:09,270 --> 00:04:07,760
station and as we understand it's doing

43
00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:09,280
really really well it's already

44
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:12,319
collected over 50 million particles and

45
00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:13,280
90

46
00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:15,680
gigabytes of data so we're really really

47
00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:17,359
happy about that

48
00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:19,120
gima and i are going to turn this over

49
00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:21,600
to paulo nispoli and roberto vittori for

50
00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:24,160
the remainder of the event but thanks

51
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:26,240
for inviting gima and i to speak with

52
00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:45,670
mr president it's a pleasure to hear

53
00:04:52,080 --> 00:05:08,629
good day mr nespoli how are you

54
00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:11,189
it's been a very intense time very

55
00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:14,400
interesting we've done many things

56
00:05:19,510 --> 00:05:17,440
we've flown the colors of italy high

57
00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:19,520
once again and for me it's been a unique

58
00:05:31,029 --> 00:05:22,400
experience i've seen the planet in a way

59
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:35,110
good day colonel vittori

60
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:44,469
good day

61
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:46,550
and most of all i found the space

62
00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:51,990
and the thing that i'd like to be able

63
00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:54,400
to tell you is that our contribution

64
00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:56,560
our italian contribution

65
00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:58,639
from the european space and city

66
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:00,400
is fundamental

67
00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:02,639
last time i saw the space station was in

68
00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:06,240
2005 which was my second mission since

69
00:06:10,629 --> 00:06:08,000
then many things

70
00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:10,639
have changed the station has more than

71
00:06:14,309 --> 00:06:12,240
doubled

72
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:14,319
all the modules

73
00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:15,440
they have

74
00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:17,840
gone through the italian and european

75
00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:18,880
industry

76
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:21,759
the cupola is particularly beautiful

77
00:06:26,469 --> 00:06:24,560
paolo has had the opportunity to admire

78
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:26,479
the earth

79
00:06:30,150 --> 00:06:28,400
from the cupola

80
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:30,160
i did it myself for the first time in

81
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:32,400
these past few days

82
00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:35,280
and today i had the first opportunity to

83
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:41,990
and our italy was completely free of

84
00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:44,240
clouds so it was beautiful and it was

85
00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:03,110
if you're listening

86
00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:06,000
very little

87
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:28,629
i speak and i understand

88
00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:30,390
and it's a pleasure to hear you speak

89
00:07:38,469 --> 00:07:36,230
but uh

90
00:07:41,189 --> 00:07:38,479
essentially what i wanted to say i did

91
00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:44,230
for the celebrations of our 150th

92
00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:45,840
anniversary

93
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:48,400
of the unity of italy we are surrounded

94
00:07:52,469 --> 00:07:50,000
by

95
00:07:55,589 --> 00:07:52,479
the attention of the entire world

96
00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:55,599
in a few days in rome on june 2nd we're

97
00:07:59,909 --> 00:07:58,720
going to have the heads of state of 42

98
00:08:02,309 --> 00:07:59,919
countries

99
00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:02,319
and among those

100
00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:04,800
we are going to have

101
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:07,039
the russian president

102
00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:08,800
and the vice president of the united

103
00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:22,070
particularly colonel vittori who was in

104
00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:24,240
italy until a few days ago he has been

105
00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:25,520
able to see

106
00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:27,759
how many things have been

107
00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:31,039
done for this anniversary

108
00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:32,880
and how we've been able to manifest a

109
00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:33,839
new

110
00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:41,909
the thing that interests me the most and

111
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:46,160
what i have the honor and the duty to

112
00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:50,870
and in this sense the flag that colonel

113
00:09:06,790 --> 00:08:52,880
vitoria flew

114
00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:08,949
wonderful emotion of january 7th in

115
00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:10,320
modena

116
00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:16,949
for the celebration of the 150 years of

117
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:31,190
and the photo

118
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:32,710
is one of the pictures i care about the

119
00:09:43,030 --> 00:09:40,230
with your permission i will now give the

120
00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:43,040
flag to my friend paulo so that he may

121
00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:45,360
bring it back down to earth

122
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:50,389
came to marina

123
00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:52,720
flew on the shuttle on board

124
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:55,120
the international space station then

125
00:09:58,710 --> 00:09:57,440
we'll go to paolo and we'll come back

126
00:10:01,750 --> 00:09:58,720
through the

127
00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:01,760
russian space scraft soyuz

128
00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:22,710
i don't know if you can hear the

129
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:24,640
applause

130
00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:27,440
it's a little hard to make the flag

131
00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:28,720
fly

132
00:10:33,829 --> 00:10:30,839
in absence of

133
00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:33,839
gravity so right now

134
00:10:38,949 --> 00:10:36,560
our flag is flying very high it's a

135
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:38,959
symbol of italy

136
00:10:44,389 --> 00:10:41,760
and where the italians can arrive when

137
00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:47,430
we're a country of poets

138
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:48,800
travelers

139
00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:51,760
discoverers and we must continue to do

140
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:53,040
these things

141
00:10:58,550 --> 00:10:55,120
and these are the things that make us

142
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:06,230
first of

143
00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:08,710
with which you go up and down

144
00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:11,120
who comes up and stays who comes up and

145
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:17,509
it's as though i was taking the train to

146
00:11:23,509 --> 00:11:19,760
go from rome to florence

147
00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:23,519
the same ease with which you reached the

148
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:26,480
international space station in space

149
00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:27,200
and

150
00:11:40,949 --> 00:11:39,120
would like to be here i would

151
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:40,959
love to be able to see him as i've done

152
00:11:51,509 --> 00:11:49,110
participation but more in general the

153
00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:51,519
italian participation

154
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:54,480
in space missions

155
00:12:03,670 --> 00:11:59,670
with the cooperation of our

156
00:12:05,509 --> 00:12:03,680
industrial system and academic system

157
00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:05,519
gives more meaning to

158
00:12:20,069 --> 00:12:18,230
and this definitely lives up to the

159
00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:20,079
tradition that we've

160
00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:21,200
built

161
00:12:28,949 --> 00:12:22,399
upon

162
00:12:33,829 --> 00:12:31,110
we must echo your words

163
00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:33,839
surely italy is a beautiful country seen

164
00:12:37,110 --> 00:12:35,360
from a pier from the cupola it's

165
00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:37,120
absolutely beautiful

166
00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:39,360
it sticks out in the blue out of the

167
00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:40,720
mediterranean

168
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:42,560
with the chain of the alps

169
00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:44,240
that look like a crown

170
00:12:50,829 --> 00:12:49,269
as a country

171
00:12:52,710 --> 00:12:50,839
from a geographical

172
00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:52,720
standpoint we're lucky

173
00:12:57,750 --> 00:12:54,720
because we have

174
00:13:00,389 --> 00:12:57,760
a strong historical identity

175
00:13:03,030 --> 00:13:00,399
and we must continue with that

176
00:13:17,670 --> 00:13:03,040
continuing the future through technology

177
00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:19,509
the research that you're currently

178
00:13:27,030 --> 00:13:24,470
does it have anything to do with the

179
00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:27,040
research that's going on at the cern in

180
00:13:30,959 --> 00:13:37,430
onboard the space shuttle mr president

181
00:13:43,509 --> 00:13:40,870
the ams alpha magnetic spectrometer

182
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:43,519
which is a giant experiment surely the

183
00:13:47,829 --> 00:13:46,320
the largest ever installed probably the

184
00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:47,839
largest that will ever be installed

185
00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:50,880
aboard the international space station

186
00:13:55,110 --> 00:13:52,320
and it was built

187
00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:57,430
through a collaboration of 16 countries

188
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:04,629
it's role opportunity for research

189
00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:13,430
it's an opportunity for physics

190
00:14:17,430 --> 00:14:14,880
for all those who are trying to

191
00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:17,440
understand who we are where we're going

192
00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:19,120
where we come from

193
00:14:22,949 --> 00:14:21,120
we're we're always talking about

194
00:14:24,949 --> 00:14:22,959
dark matter

195
00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:24,959
and ams has the potential of being able

196
00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:30,790
to understand who we are

197
00:14:37,829 --> 00:14:32,399
where we're coming from and what our

198
00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:39,910
little more than two months ago i was in

199
00:14:44,629 --> 00:14:42,639
geneva visiting cern

200
00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:44,639
where they're working on the great

201
00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:47,440
themes of the origin of the universe

202
00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:50,000
and i found many young italians

203
00:14:59,030 --> 00:14:53,680
out of 1300 researchers at cern

204
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,430
it's young women researchers

205
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,590
with an extraordinary enthusiasm

206
00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:09,030
and i believe

207
00:15:30,389 --> 00:15:27,189
throughout the world but even in italy

208
00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:30,399
i've i see this interest technology for

209
00:15:34,550 --> 00:15:32,480
all things technological this this

210
00:15:36,310 --> 00:15:34,560
interest in wanting to learn

211
00:15:53,110 --> 00:15:36,320
this attention

212
00:15:56,949 --> 00:15:54,790
did you also see the gondolas in the

213
00:15:59,990 --> 00:15:56,959
grand canal of venice or is that a

214
00:16:03,910 --> 00:16:00,000
little too much to ask

215
00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:03,920
president i have taken some photos with

216
00:16:08,069 --> 00:16:06,399
the zoom

217
00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:08,079
we do have zooms that are pretty strong

218
00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:10,240
and i have been able to take some photos

219
00:16:14,790 --> 00:16:12,720
of venice and we can see fairies

220
00:16:18,069 --> 00:16:14,800
but uh gondolas maybe is a little too

221
00:16:23,110 --> 00:16:20,310
but it's beautiful this this

222
00:16:25,110 --> 00:16:23,120
shot that we are able to get

223
00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:25,120
looking from the cupola we're able to

224
00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:27,680
appreciate details like

225
00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:30,399
pyramids in egypt the great wall of

226
00:16:33,430 --> 00:16:32,240
china venice

227
00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:33,440
all these

228
00:16:42,790 --> 00:16:41,279
places in italy in the world but there's

229
00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:42,800
this general view

230
00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:44,399
that allows us to see this beautiful

231
00:16:50,949 --> 00:16:48,470
but also

232
00:16:53,269 --> 00:16:50,959
from another side it looks fragile

233
00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:53,279
this this really thin layer of

234
00:16:57,670 --> 00:16:55,360
atmosphere which is the one thing that

235
00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:57,680
differentiates us from other planets

236
00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:59,199
like mars and the moon

237
00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:01,759
we must be careful to what we do and how

238
00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:09,829
yes

239
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:16,829
that comes from these

240
00:17:21,990 --> 00:17:20,309
areas the impulse of taking care of the

241
00:17:24,230 --> 00:17:22,000
environment

242
00:17:26,549 --> 00:17:24,240
and this is a goal that it's that is

243
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:26,559
indivisible and it's something that can

244
00:17:31,029 --> 00:17:28,640
only be sought

245
00:17:33,590 --> 00:17:31,039
on a planetary scale it doesn't it's not

246
00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:33,600
enough to have one single country

247
00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:35,039
putting in the effort

248
00:17:40,630 --> 00:17:37,360
and so maybe even seeing italy from

249
00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:44,070
aside from being able to understand

250
00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:47,120
it's beautiful natural shape and

251
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,310
and the creation of man

252
00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:57,190
i think you can also get a very strong

253
00:17:59,350 --> 00:17:58,080
feel

254
00:18:01,590 --> 00:17:59,360
for how

255
00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:01,600
we are a part of the planet a part of

256
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:09,750
that can keep going and progress

257
00:18:13,669 --> 00:18:11,600
as long as it can contribute with the

258
00:18:16,230 --> 00:18:13,679
rest

259
00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:16,240
only as an active member

260
00:18:20,870 --> 00:18:18,640
of the international community and

261
00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:20,880
especially the european community only

262
00:18:29,029 --> 00:18:24,720
then italy can grow and contribute

263
00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:29,039
to the bettering of human civilization

264
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:37,430
i agree with 100

265
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:39,110
i'd like to remember the first

266
00:18:45,830 --> 00:18:40,880
impression

267
00:18:49,350 --> 00:18:48,310
i arrived to space on board the russian

268
00:18:54,789 --> 00:18:49,360
soyuz

269
00:18:59,750 --> 00:18:58,150
the thing that struck me the most

270
00:19:02,950 --> 00:18:59,760
always stayed with me was this

271
00:19:06,789 --> 00:19:02,960
incredible beauty of the planet blue

272
00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:06,799
a very strong three-dimensional feel

273
00:19:13,669 --> 00:19:09,200
captivating beautiful that captures your

274
00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:16,390
and then flying over italy

275
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:19,120
europe and the continents there are no

276
00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:23,520
boundaries no borders everything's won

277
00:19:28,070 --> 00:19:25,840
everything's one that an astronaut can

278
00:19:29,430 --> 00:19:28,080
just embrace by just being able to look

279
00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:29,440
out the window

280
00:19:34,710 --> 00:19:31,280
and the other thing that is very

281
00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:34,720
striking is how thin the atmosphere is

282
00:19:44,630 --> 00:19:42,870
and so it appears that way to the

283
00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:44,640
astronaut who has a privilege of looking

284
00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:45,840
at the window

285
00:19:51,350 --> 00:19:48,080
and this is a great reminder

286
00:19:52,549 --> 00:19:51,360
that we must make a common effort

287
00:19:54,070 --> 00:19:52,559
to protect

288
00:19:56,870 --> 00:19:54,080
our system

289
00:20:09,029 --> 00:19:56,880
our atmosphere for our children and for

290
00:20:16,789 --> 00:20:11,590
iss this is houston acr that concludes
