1
00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:15,509
the first of the crew members now out of

2
00:00:22,070 --> 00:00:20,470
that's the soyuz commander dimitri

3
00:00:25,029 --> 00:00:22,080
kondratyev

4
00:00:26,950 --> 00:00:25,039
home after 159 days in space and a

5
00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:26,960
flawless entry and landing on the step

6
00:00:36,229 --> 00:00:33,350
back with us josh byerly a nasa public

7
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:36,239
affairs officer at the landing side josh

8
00:00:42,069 --> 00:00:39,760
it looks like a gorgeous day out there

9
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:42,079
you actually could not ask for

10
00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:43,840
better weather or better operations i

11
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:45,840
mean this has just been uh fairly easy

12
00:00:49,029 --> 00:00:47,440
from beginning to end

13
00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:49,039
um i mean the weather's probably in the

14
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:50,800
upper 70s right now

15
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:52,160
uh you can see they're taking the

16
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:54,320
commander out now they just uh they just

17
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:55,680
got him out of the capsule you also

18
00:00:59,510 --> 00:00:57,600
notice the capsule is actually upright

19
00:01:01,029 --> 00:00:59,520
uh which doesn't happen too often i took

20
00:01:02,709 --> 00:01:01,039
a look at the bottom but it doesn't look

21
00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:02,719
like it actually bounced that much like

22
00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:04,879
there's a divot in the ground probably

23
00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:06,560
five to six feet away from it and that's

24
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:09,119
it so it's uh it's been pretty flawless

25
00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:10,320
so far

26
00:01:14,469 --> 00:01:11,840
uh from here in kazakhstan the weather

27
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:14,479
is cooperating uh the russian teams here

28
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:16,080
the search and recovery forces are

29
00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:18,960
making quick work as they always do

30
00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:21,119
of these operations and uh the entire

31
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:23,040
nasa team has now

32
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:25,280
arrived even those that came directly

33
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:27,520
from the city of karaganda this morning

34
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:29,040
as well as those of us that came in from

35
00:01:33,429 --> 00:01:30,960
jessica's gun

36
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:33,439
josh kondratyev who trained for years

37
00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:36,000
for this first flight and as commander

38
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:38,640
of expedition 27 looks none the worst

39
00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:41,520
for wear and we had a remarkable live

40
00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:44,399
video of the soyuz during its uh descent

41
00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:49,990
yeah actually you know you've done this

42
00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:51,280
several times

43
00:01:54,389 --> 00:01:53,200
just like i have it's rare when we

44
00:01:56,069 --> 00:01:54,399
actually get to see it out of the

45
00:01:58,550 --> 00:01:56,079
helicopter you know the media helicopter

46
00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:58,560
that gets here first i get to see it but

47
00:02:01,910 --> 00:02:00,079
we actually could see it on our front

48
00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:01,920
windshield uh today which is pretty

49
00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:03,520
remarkable there's katie katie is

50
00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:21,750
katie coleman a nasa astronaut

51
00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:24,560
after her third flight in space flashing

52
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:26,400
the broad smile that is

53
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:28,959
her signature

54
00:02:33,990 --> 00:02:31,760
now having logged 179 days in space on

55
00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:34,000
her three flights

56
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:40,949
yeah katie is uh smiling like she always

57
00:02:44,949 --> 00:02:43,040
does and uh they are beginning to move

58
00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:44,959
her over to the chairs

59
00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:46,480
the crowd here is now clapping for her

60
00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:47,840
and they also have some flowers we're

61
00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:50,959
about to give to her but she looks uh

62
00:02:59,990 --> 00:02:57,670
the flight control team here in the iss

63
00:03:02,149 --> 00:03:00,000
flight control room having a chuckle

64
00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:02,159
since it only took one person to carry

65
00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:04,400
katie coleman to her reclining chair

66
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:06,239
as opposed to two that were required for

67
00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:09,120
dimitri kondratiev

68
00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:10,400
yeah i've actually never seen that

69
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:12,319
before but they uh whoever the gentleman

70
00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:18,630
i must tell you joshua from what we can

71
00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:21,040
see here uh at least uh for condratiev

72
00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:22,640
and coleman

73
00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:25,040
in all the times i've been out there and

74
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,480
the times that you've been out there i

75
00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:28,480
can't recall uh two crew members who

76
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:29,280
have

77
00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:31,360
emerged from the soyuz spacecraft

78
00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:33,280
appearing at least to be in better shape

79
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:35,840
than these two

80
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:37,760
no i mean you know these soyuz landings

81
00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:39,120
are definitely not for the faint of

82
00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:40,799
heart and i think anybody you talk to

83
00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:42,239
that's ever been in one would tell you

84
00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:43,599
that

85
00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:46,480
but now this crew is is looking better

86
00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:48,720
than than most i've ever seen and i

87
00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:50,159
don't know if it's a combination of the

88
00:03:53,589 --> 00:03:52,159
flight or the fact that they've got such

89
00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:53,599
beautiful weather down here i mean you

90
00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:55,439
know sometimes as you've experienced

91
00:04:01,589 --> 00:03:57,920
last time uh this weather in california

92
00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:01,599
can be a bit uh jolting to say the least

93
00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:02,959
but i mean it's just a gorgeous day out

94
00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:05,120
here the wind is just barely blowing

95
00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:06,560
um and the crew i mean the crew just

96
00:04:10,869 --> 00:04:08,879
looks fantastic

97
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:10,879
right by katie coleman is her flight

98
00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:13,760
surgeon dr steve hart and you saw just a

99
00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:16,079
moment ago and he is appearing from time

100
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:17,759
to time in the field of view

101
00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:20,560
the deputy iss program manager kirk

102
00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:21,680
shireman

103
00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:24,560
part of the nasa team that is embedded

104
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:26,720
with the search and recovery forces for

105
00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:30,720
this return of the expedition 27 crew

106
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:32,080
we're awaiting the extraction of

107
00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:34,160
european space agency flight engineer

108
00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:36,960
paulo nespoli who was the videographer

109
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:39,600
and digital still photographer earlier

110
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:40,960
today

111
00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:44,000
during the undocking and the back away

112
00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:46,479
of the soyuz from the rassvet module

113
00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:48,880
now you can see joel montalbano next to

114
00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:50,560
katie coleman the director of human

115
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:52,639
space flight programs in russia and

116
00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:54,320
peggy whitson the chief of nasa's

117
00:05:19,590 --> 00:04:56,560
astronaut office in the upper left-hand

118
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:22,070
josh it looks like a condrative first on

119
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:24,400
the satellite phone to talk to family

120
00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:29,110
yeah and they're going to give katie the

121
00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:30,639
phone here in a little bit for her to

122
00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:32,160
talk to her family that whenever i was

123
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,919
talking to steve hart earlier today

124
00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:35,520
there's two important things that he

125
00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:37,120
said that he had one

126
00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:39,120
was the phone so you could call her

127
00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:41,440
family the second thing was of course

128
00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:43,360
her passport which is a little known

129
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:44,960
fact that these astronauts and health

130
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:46,160
nights actually do have to have

131
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:48,400
passports because technically this is

132
00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:50,160
entering the country of kazakhstan so a

133
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:51,840
little piece of trivia for you there but

134
00:05:55,189 --> 00:05:53,440
katie should be calling

135
00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:55,199
her family here shortly

136
00:06:00,070 --> 00:05:57,520
and there's a view of paulo nespoli the

137
00:06:02,309 --> 00:06:00,080
european space agency flight engineer

138
00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:02,319
who completed his second flight into
