1 00:00:08,930 --> 00:00:03,860 endeavour ISS this is jay SCPA oh how do 2 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:08,940 you hear me Rob we have you loud and 3 00:00:12,589 --> 00:00:11,250 clear good to see you're on and the rest 4 00:00:16,519 --> 00:00:12,599 of the crew and we have questions here 5 00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:16,529 in Houston hi this is Robert Pearlman 6 00:00:20,689 --> 00:00:18,510 with collectspace.com with a question 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:20,699 for Mark Kelly this is of course the 8 00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:22,170 final flight of space shuttle Endeavour 9 00:00:26,269 --> 00:00:24,510 but it's coming just before the 40th 10 00:00:27,950 --> 00:00:26,279 anniversary of another spacecraft named 11 00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:27,960 endeavour flying to the moon on Apollo 12 00:00:32,089 --> 00:00:30,689 15 and while a rover Opportunity is 13 00:00:34,970 --> 00:00:32,099 making its way to a crater named 14 00:00:36,410 --> 00:00:34,980 endeavor on Mars with that in mind how 15 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:36,420 would you place your mission and the 16 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:38,010 missions of space shuttle Endeavour into 17 00:00:45,619 --> 00:00:40,530 the larger context of humanity's space 18 00:00:49,180 --> 00:00:45,629 exploration endeavors well there's also 19 00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:49,190 a ship going around Australia right now 20 00:00:53,689 --> 00:00:52,110 commemorating the ship endeavor that did 21 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:53,699 one of the first voyages to 22 00:00:58,490 --> 00:00:57,210 circumnavigate Australia so you know 23 00:01:00,229 --> 00:00:58,500 it's pretty significant the space 24 00:01:03,979 --> 00:01:00,239 shuttles been the workhorse of the u.s. 25 00:01:06,350 --> 00:01:03,989 space program for over 30 years now and 26 00:01:08,810 --> 00:01:06,360 it's been an incredible success we've 27 00:01:10,580 --> 00:01:08,820 never built anything that can do what 28 00:01:12,590 --> 00:01:10,590 the Space Shuttle can do carry that 29 00:01:16,010 --> 00:01:12,600 tremendous mass to orbit bring stuff 30 00:01:18,050 --> 00:01:16,020 back do spacewalks robotic operations I 31 00:01:21,020 --> 00:01:18,060 mean it's what built literally built the 32 00:01:22,850 --> 00:01:21,030 space station so to retire the Space 33 00:01:24,740 --> 00:01:22,860 Shuttle is pretty significant in the 34 00:01:27,050 --> 00:01:24,750 last flight you know it's it's 35 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:27,060 bittersweet but I think it's time you 36 00:01:31,730 --> 00:01:29,130 know that we move on and do something 37 00:01:35,770 --> 00:01:31,740 you know equally exciting build a new 38 00:01:42,859 --> 00:01:39,890 thanks and for Mike Fink you'll soon 39 00:01:45,679 --> 00:01:42,869 hold the record for the most time in in 40 00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:45,689 space by u.s. astronaut and but by the 41 00:01:50,660 --> 00:01:47,729 all-time list you'll still rank I 42 00:01:53,210 --> 00:01:50,670 believe 20 20th behind 19 Russian 43 00:01:54,620 --> 00:01:53,220 cosmonauts as our longest traveled space 44 00:01:56,539 --> 00:01:54,630 explorer and an experienced space 45 00:01:58,370 --> 00:01:56,549 station crew member do you feel there's 46 00:02:00,740 --> 00:01:58,380 a value to extending the length of 47 00:02:03,889 --> 00:02:00,750 individual crew members ISS expeditions 48 00:02:10,169 --> 00:02:03,899 for going in preparation for going 49 00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:10,179 further out into the solar system that 50 00:02:15,869 --> 00:02:13,120 a great question it's certainly an honor 51 00:02:17,970 --> 00:02:15,879 to get a chance to fly up in space and 52 00:02:20,309 --> 00:02:17,980 you know especially for long periods of 53 00:02:22,770 --> 00:02:20,319 time and I think any records that are 54 00:02:24,209 --> 00:02:22,780 happening now even the greatest show on 55 00:02:27,149 --> 00:02:24,219 the Russian side of eight hundred and 56 00:02:29,849 --> 00:02:27,159 four days that's all going to be long 57 00:02:31,559 --> 00:02:29,859 forgotten when humans really start to 58 00:02:33,330 --> 00:02:31,569 explore the solar system especially with 59 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:33,340 some of the new vehicles that NASA is 60 00:02:38,429 --> 00:02:36,250 going to come up with so it's it's I 61 00:02:40,530 --> 00:02:38,439 think in preparation for that you know 62 00:02:43,289 --> 00:02:40,540 six months at a time it seems to be what 63 00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:43,299 seems to be working now for the space 64 00:02:46,530 --> 00:02:45,310 station anything longer than that's 65 00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:46,540 going to be a little bit tougher but I 66 00:02:50,729 --> 00:02:48,489 think we can live up here relatively 67 00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:50,739 indefinitely yo year missions not out of 68 00:02:54,149 --> 00:02:52,030 the question aboard the space station 69 00:02:57,809 --> 00:02:54,159 would be a lot more interesting to spend 70 00:02:59,729 --> 00:02:57,819 a year going to Mars however this is 71 00:03:01,979 --> 00:02:59,739 going down with the German Space Agency 72 00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:01,989 and space explorer Association question 73 00:03:06,809 --> 00:03:04,480 for box you are the prime operator of 74 00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:06,819 the SMR RMS what was your most 75 00:03:11,099 --> 00:03:09,040 challenging robotics task and what was 76 00:03:17,729 --> 00:03:11,109 it like working at the robotic station 77 00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:17,739 in the cupola we set few to earth well 78 00:03:23,729 --> 00:03:21,280 Gerhard I'll tell you what the cupola 79 00:03:28,559 --> 00:03:23,739 was everything that I had heard from 80 00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:28,569 other people x 10 it's in a magnificent 81 00:03:35,009 --> 00:03:32,560 view you have a view of literally half 82 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:35,019 of the space station operating from the 83 00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:38,290 cupola some of the robotic ops that we 84 00:03:42,869 --> 00:03:41,470 did on EV a2 didn't even need any 85 00:03:47,849 --> 00:03:42,879 cameras you could just look out the 86 00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:47,859 window a lot of the robotics op robotic 87 00:03:51,869 --> 00:03:49,840 ops that we're doing on this mission are 88 00:03:55,219 --> 00:03:51,879 located on the other side of the station 89 00:03:59,249 --> 00:03:55,229 for example when we installed a MS&E lc3 90 00:04:00,719 --> 00:03:59,259 so the advantage of the cupola wasn't 91 00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:00,729 apparent as far as looking out the 92 00:04:06,119 --> 00:04:03,519 window but just as a place to be as a 93 00:04:08,249 --> 00:04:06,129 place to operate the robotic arm it was 94 00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:08,259 a wonderful and it is a wonderful 95 00:04:14,729 --> 00:04:12,159 wonderful place to be thank you question 96 00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:14,739 for the spacewalk s2 and mike photo 97 00:04:19,409 --> 00:04:17,409 you'll perform 3 EBA is kind of a 98 00:04:22,270 --> 00:04:19,419 surgery on the final Hubble servicing 99 00:04:23,890 --> 00:04:22,280 mission and three on this is explanation 100 00:04:26,260 --> 00:04:23,900 what are the major difference is 101 00:04:28,210 --> 00:04:26,270 executing the EVs on Hubble and the 102 00:04:33,850 --> 00:04:28,220 station and what were the most difficult 103 00:04:35,530 --> 00:04:33,860 and most exciting moments I'll get hired 104 00:04:37,409 --> 00:04:35,540 thanks that's a that's a good question a 105 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:37,419 tough one to answer I can tell you that 106 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:40,250 each of the epa's were challenging and 107 00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:42,410 and I can tell you that now after three 108 00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:44,720 days of being outside I'm pretty worn 109 00:04:49,570 --> 00:04:47,510 out and my hands my hands are very tired 110 00:04:51,370 --> 00:04:49,580 as well and and I don't know that I'd be 111 00:04:54,940 --> 00:04:51,380 ready to go out to tomorrow like Mike 112 00:04:56,409 --> 00:04:54,950 and Greg are going to but the difference 113 00:04:58,060 --> 00:04:56,419 is of course or that Hubble are very 114 00:04:59,680 --> 00:04:58,070 couple is very close to the to our 115 00:05:01,210 --> 00:04:59,690 airlock and we don't have to travel far 116 00:05:03,310 --> 00:05:01,220 on the payload Bay to reach it and 117 00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:03,320 perform the tasks and of course with 118 00:05:07,780 --> 00:05:05,120 Space Station we Traverse over long 119 00:05:09,820 --> 00:05:07,790 distances and especially in the dark 120 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:09,830 it's very easy to get a little bit 121 00:05:14,620 --> 00:05:12,320 disoriented and sometimes lost and and I 122 00:05:16,570 --> 00:05:14,630 know I went the wrong way a few times at 123 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:16,580 least briefly trying to understand 124 00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:19,490 really where I was headed so but the 125 00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:20,630 work is the work is challenging 126 00:05:24,370 --> 00:05:22,430 unfortunately the space station was 127 00:05:27,750 --> 00:05:24,380 built to be serviced by astronauts 128 00:05:30,219 --> 00:05:27,760 Hubble was not built really that way 129 00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:30,229 although we have performed as you know 130 00:05:34,270 --> 00:05:32,750 many servicing missions to it so the 131 00:05:36,580 --> 00:05:34,280 tasks are just is challenging I worked 132 00:05:38,020 --> 00:05:36,590 just as hard in fact I think harder with 133 00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:38,030 all the activities we had and we're just 134 00:05:41,710 --> 00:05:39,950 having to be done with three successful 135 00:05:45,190 --> 00:05:41,720 spacewalks and looking forward to a 136 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:45,200 fourth and for Mike you perform sick 137 00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:47,050 CBA's in the russian orlan spacesuits 138 00:05:52,210 --> 00:05:50,000 during expedition 9 and 18 on this 139 00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:52,220 mission you executed two of you three 140 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:55,310 plan TVA's in the US EMU spacesuit what 141 00:05:59,469 --> 00:05:57,050 are the advantage and disadvantage of 142 00:06:01,659 --> 00:05:59,479 each type of space suit and other task 143 00:06:07,659 --> 00:06:01,669 easier to execute in either the Russian 144 00:06:09,490 --> 00:06:07,669 of the u.s. suit that's a great question 145 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:09,500 I've had the privilege of being in the 146 00:06:14,890 --> 00:06:11,570 Russian suit and I like it very much the 147 00:06:16,330 --> 00:06:14,900 Orlan is pressurized to about 6 pounds 148 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:16,340 per square inch or point four 149 00:06:21,460 --> 00:06:19,250 atmospheres it's a very serviceable suit 150 00:06:23,980 --> 00:06:21,470 and we don't have to spend a long time 151 00:06:27,790 --> 00:06:23,990 getting ready the pre brief time is 152 00:06:30,670 --> 00:06:27,800 relatively short and the American suit 153 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:30,680 is more mobile because it runs at a 154 00:06:34,779 --> 00:06:32,450 lower pressure but that means we have a 155 00:06:35,380 --> 00:06:34,789 long pre-breathe time and takes a longer 156 00:06:37,570 --> 00:06:35,390 time to get 157 00:06:39,580 --> 00:06:37,580 ready however both suits are great for 158 00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:39,590 what they do it's great to go out in 159 00:06:43,540 --> 00:06:41,870 space and go on go on a spacewalk but I 160 00:06:46,210 --> 00:06:43,550 think every spacewalk that I've been on 161 00:06:51,070 --> 00:06:46,220 is really tough spacewalks are not easy 162 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:51,080 at all hi Denise Chow at space com a 163 00:06:54,490 --> 00:06:53,450 question for Mark Kelly um the past two 164 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:54,500 days nASA has made some big 165 00:06:58,180 --> 00:06:56,330 announcements in terms of a development 166 00:07:00,250 --> 00:06:58,190 plan for a vehicle for deep-space 167 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:00,260 exploration and a sample return mission 168 00:07:06,090 --> 00:07:02,090 to an asteroid now as curious as to what 169 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:09,340 well we didn't see when we we don't get 170 00:07:14,860 --> 00:07:11,810 a have a lot of time to look at a lot of 171 00:07:17,950 --> 00:07:14,870 news here we did get the announcement on 172 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:17,960 the multi-purpose crew vehicle that 173 00:07:22,930 --> 00:07:19,610 Lockheed Martin you know originally it 174 00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:22,940 was Orion and now it's that design is 175 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:26,000 going to be used to you know hopefully 176 00:07:29,770 --> 00:07:27,770 one day come back to the space station 177 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:29,780 and do some other things so we're pretty 178 00:07:35,730 --> 00:07:33,130 excited about it I within the space 179 00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:35,740 within the astronaut office I worked 180 00:07:41,380 --> 00:07:38,710 Orion stuff before I was assigned to 181 00:07:43,690 --> 00:07:41,390 sts-134 I think it's a good vehicle it's 182 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:43,700 a good design and you know hopefully 183 00:07:49,210 --> 00:07:45,530 folks from our office will be flying it 184 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:49,220 one day and a question for Ron Garan um 185 00:07:52,930 --> 00:07:51,050 what has it been like living on the 186 00:07:55,630 --> 00:07:52,940 space station with the construction 187 00:07:57,790 --> 00:07:55,640 pretty well complete and also before 188 00:07:59,380 --> 00:07:57,800 Dmitri Katie and Paulo left what was it 189 00:08:04,930 --> 00:07:59,390 like being in the station with a pretty 190 00:08:06,670 --> 00:08:04,940 full house well you know I was here 191 00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:06,680 three years ago and it was a big place 192 00:08:11,410 --> 00:08:08,240 then and it's a it's an even bigger 193 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:11,420 place now you know it's a it's a 194 00:08:14,770 --> 00:08:12,890 wonderful place to live and work it so 195 00:08:17,050 --> 00:08:14,780 it's a wonderful wonderful perspective 196 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:17,060 we have on the planet up here and you 197 00:08:20,770 --> 00:08:18,290 know the science that we're doing on 198 00:08:22,570 --> 00:08:20,780 board I think is really going to make a 199 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:22,580 big difference on the earth i think you 200 00:08:25,870 --> 00:08:24,410 know when I was here last time we were 201 00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:25,880 just getting the science going and it's 202 00:08:29,860 --> 00:08:27,950 really starting to ramp up now and you 203 00:08:32,770 --> 00:08:29,870 know we've got world-class laboratories 204 00:08:35,020 --> 00:08:32,780 throughout the the complex here that are 205 00:08:37,420 --> 00:08:35,030 really going to I think make some 206 00:08:39,550 --> 00:08:37,430 breakthroughs and it really you know 207 00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:39,560 it's this is a tremendous investment in 208 00:08:43,300 --> 00:08:40,880 the future of our planet in the future 209 00:08:45,610 --> 00:08:43,310 of humanity and it's really neat to be a 210 00:08:47,740 --> 00:08:45,620 part of that and to see to see all these 211 00:08:49,199 --> 00:08:47,750 years of construction finally you know 212 00:08:54,449 --> 00:08:49,209 the result of that 213 00:08:57,150 --> 00:08:54,459 come into fruition is really nice mark 214 00:08:58,980 --> 00:08:57,160 karo for aviation week and have a 215 00:09:00,540 --> 00:08:58,990 question for the shuttle crew I'm 216 00:09:05,129 --> 00:09:00,550 wondering how much Professional 217 00:09:07,379 --> 00:09:05,139 Responsibility even pressure you feel to 218 00:09:10,079 --> 00:09:07,389 do all you can to place the space 219 00:09:18,749 --> 00:09:10,089 station in the best possible footing 220 00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:18,759 before the shuttle retires that's a very 221 00:09:23,850 --> 00:09:20,649 good question and you know it very much 222 00:09:26,850 --> 00:09:23,860 is a big part of our mission I mean this 223 00:09:28,850 --> 00:09:26,860 is the last flight really before the 224 00:09:30,929 --> 00:09:28,860 station is considered assembly complete 225 00:09:32,759 --> 00:09:30,939 much of what we have up here we're 226 00:09:34,579 --> 00:09:32,769 bringing some logistics but we've 227 00:09:38,249 --> 00:09:34,589 installed some external spare equipment 228 00:09:40,049 --> 00:09:38,259 you know during this mission and you 229 00:09:41,819 --> 00:09:40,059 know and the whole point of that is to 230 00:09:43,259 --> 00:09:41,829 make sure that the there's longevity for 231 00:09:45,299 --> 00:09:43,269 the station without the shuttle for many 232 00:09:48,780 --> 00:09:45,309 years to come hopefully to 2020 and well 233 00:09:50,850 --> 00:09:48,790 beyond without the shuttle as Mark 234 00:09:52,980 --> 00:09:50,860 mentioned earlier it's very hard to 235 00:09:55,379 --> 00:09:52,990 bring bring things up that ago 236 00:09:56,489 --> 00:09:55,389 externally and bring things down and you 237 00:09:58,410 --> 00:09:56,499 know there will be the possibility to 238 00:10:01,109 --> 00:09:58,420 spacewalks of course from the airlock in 239 00:10:02,669 --> 00:10:01,119 the station but the servicing the space 240 00:10:05,069 --> 00:10:02,679 station is going to be more difficult 241 00:10:07,439 --> 00:10:05,079 and although we do have you no other 242 00:10:11,129 --> 00:10:07,449 vehicles from other countries a TV at 243 00:10:12,809 --> 00:10:11,139 HTV and progress for supply bringing 244 00:10:14,329 --> 00:10:12,819 things down the darn that are not 245 00:10:16,530 --> 00:10:14,339 working to figure out what we know with 246 00:10:18,650 --> 00:10:16,540 how to repair them or how to improve 247 00:10:20,549 --> 00:10:18,660 them will be a little more difficult but 248 00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:20,559 this is a you know this is very 249 00:10:24,629 --> 00:10:22,480 important and and it's really the point 250 00:10:25,859 --> 00:10:24,639 of everything we're doing i was trying 251 00:10:28,109 --> 00:10:25,869 to make sure the space station is well 252 00:10:30,059 --> 00:10:28,119 positioned to handle a full crew of six 253 00:10:31,829 --> 00:10:30,069 and enable it to do the science that 254 00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:31,839 it's designed to do know that will carry 255 00:10:37,079 --> 00:10:35,529 us forward hi it's bill Harwood with CBS 256 00:10:39,269 --> 00:10:37,089 News and Greg you can keep the mic I'll 257 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:39,279 ask you this question you know we were 258 00:10:43,769 --> 00:10:40,569 talking the other day about how it's 259 00:10:45,299 --> 00:10:43,779 been 27 years since the space station 260 00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:45,309 program was approved and I remember 261 00:10:49,230 --> 00:10:46,959 talking to bill Shepard in the early 90s 262 00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:49,240 about the wall of e VA and all the 263 00:10:51,929 --> 00:10:50,649 concern about doing this and you guys 264 00:10:54,689 --> 00:10:51,939 are getting ready to do the last shuttle 265 00:10:56,939 --> 00:10:54,699 e VA and all that time is assembly comes 266 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:56,949 down can somebody I don't know reflect 267 00:11:01,800 --> 00:10:57,970 on the 268 00:11:03,809 --> 00:11:01,810 how far nASA has come in developing this 269 00:11:13,829 --> 00:11:03,819 EV a capability that you've used to 270 00:11:15,499 --> 00:11:13,839 build the station well that's a that's a 271 00:11:18,329 --> 00:11:15,509 good point that you've made and 272 00:11:20,309 --> 00:11:18,339 certainly being able to perform 273 00:11:21,929 --> 00:11:20,319 spacewalks is critical to the life of 274 00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:21,939 the space station and we've seen in 275 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:24,310 every shuttle mission and many of the 276 00:11:28,439 --> 00:11:25,930 space station expeditions that have been 277 00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:28,449 here the requirement for me VA s if we 278 00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:30,910 didn't have that capability the station 279 00:11:34,619 --> 00:11:32,800 certainly would not be able to last as 280 00:11:37,619 --> 00:11:34,629 long as we we plan for it to last and 281 00:11:39,119 --> 00:11:37,629 also I think that as the capability to 282 00:11:41,009 --> 00:11:39,129 do spacewalks has something to do with 283 00:11:44,340 --> 00:11:41,019 certification longer than what original 284 00:11:46,439 --> 00:11:44,350 plans are so to be able to maintain that 285 00:11:48,059 --> 00:11:46,449 that's just a part of life to work and 286 00:11:49,710 --> 00:11:48,069 live in space we will always have to 287 00:11:51,749 --> 00:11:49,720 have the ability to go out and put our 288 00:11:53,429 --> 00:11:51,759 hands on two objects and we've certainly 289 00:11:54,869 --> 00:11:53,439 seen that and what I can reflect back on 290 00:11:57,119 --> 00:11:54,879 the Hubble Space Telescope it would 291 00:11:58,710 --> 00:11:57,129 never have lasted as long as it has nor 292 00:12:01,110 --> 00:11:58,720 would it have last will last into the 293 00:12:03,090 --> 00:12:01,120 future without the assistance of humans 294 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:03,100 in the loop with tools in their hands 295 00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:05,410 going out to perform the work because 296 00:12:09,689 --> 00:12:07,600 number one many of those tasks are 297 00:12:11,460 --> 00:12:09,699 critical and has to be performed in very 298 00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:11,470 short order and we just don't have the 299 00:12:15,299 --> 00:12:13,209 capability right now with robotics or 300 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:15,309 other devices you know any other 301 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:16,930 capability to get out there and get the 302 00:12:20,939 --> 00:12:18,850 work done so the space walking is 303 00:12:24,299 --> 00:12:20,949 critical the ability to get outside and 304 00:12:26,850 --> 00:12:24,309 do the work is important and on the last 305 00:12:29,189 --> 00:12:26,860 EV a four EV a three of course we tested 306 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:29,199 out a new protocol pre breeze protocol 307 00:12:34,590 --> 00:12:31,689 which allows us to have sort of a normal 308 00:12:37,860 --> 00:12:34,600 morning spend less time on oxygen masks 309 00:12:39,749 --> 00:12:37,870 and be able to get outside without the 310 00:12:41,999 --> 00:12:39,759 additional pre-planning that we have had 311 00:12:43,410 --> 00:12:42,009 in the past that required camping out in 312 00:12:46,129 --> 00:12:43,420 the airlock overnighted to reduce 313 00:12:48,179 --> 00:12:46,139 pressure so the capabilities are 314 00:12:51,749 --> 00:12:48,189 important for the longevity of space 315 00:12:54,389 --> 00:12:51,759 station and in folks back at the centers 316 00:12:56,970 --> 00:12:54,399 in on earth have been working to advance 317 00:12:58,710 --> 00:12:56,980 those capabilities and make an expedite 318 00:12:59,819 --> 00:12:58,720 our capability to get outside and do the 319 00:13:02,699 --> 00:12:59,829 work that we need to do when it's 320 00:13:04,650 --> 00:13:02,709 required let me ask might think a 321 00:13:06,569 --> 00:13:04,660 related question if I could on Friday 322 00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:06,579 you guys are going to go over a thousand 323 00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:09,110 hours and EV a time during assembly of 324 00:13:13,870 --> 00:13:11,600 ISS for more than 40 days which is 325 00:13:15,730 --> 00:13:13,880 either an incredibly an incredible 326 00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:15,740 milestone or maybe it's just a trivial 327 00:13:19,030 --> 00:13:16,880 milestone I don't know how do you look 328 00:13:24,730 --> 00:13:19,040 at that a thousand hours of EV a time 329 00:13:27,850 --> 00:13:24,740 thanks yeah a thousand hours that's 330 00:13:29,769 --> 00:13:27,860 that's pretty impressive in fact we had 331 00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:29,779 concerns when we were first designing 332 00:13:36,190 --> 00:13:32,510 the space station of how much time evaa 333 00:13:38,110 --> 00:13:36,200 0 geba time it would take up at that 334 00:13:41,259 --> 00:13:38,120 point we weren't really as experience 335 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:41,269 with with EV a the shuttle program paved 336 00:13:45,940 --> 00:13:43,610 the way with some of the earlier ebas 337 00:13:49,420 --> 00:13:45,950 getting our extra vehicular Mobility 338 00:13:51,940 --> 00:13:49,430 unit EMU up and running and and then 339 00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:51,950 getting it to really shine some of the 340 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:54,110 tools and techniques that came along for 341 00:13:58,420 --> 00:13:55,730 space station building are very helpful 342 00:14:00,460 --> 00:13:58,430 the the stints that we did at Hubble 343 00:14:02,079 --> 00:14:00,470 Space Telescope we still use some of 344 00:14:04,180 --> 00:14:02,089 those tools to this day for the space 345 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:04,190 station so we've really come a long way 346 00:14:07,389 --> 00:14:06,050 with space walking we've learned a lot 347 00:14:09,850 --> 00:14:07,399 from our Russian partners and they've 348 00:14:12,759 --> 00:14:09,860 learned a lot from us and the new suits 349 00:14:15,610 --> 00:14:12,769 that we have and the capabilities allow 350 00:14:18,220 --> 00:14:15,620 us to do longer spacewalks I don't think 351 00:14:20,050 --> 00:14:18,230 anybody at 10 20 30 years ago would 352 00:14:22,030 --> 00:14:20,060 imagine that we would have so many 353 00:14:25,689 --> 00:14:22,040 eight-hour spacewalks even like the one 354 00:14:27,850 --> 00:14:25,699 we had just this week it's Chris 355 00:14:29,290 --> 00:14:27,860 Baltimore with Reuters a question for 356 00:14:31,689 --> 00:14:29,300 commander Kelly or perhaps for Mike 357 00:14:33,670 --> 00:14:31,699 Garen springboarding off of Mark crows 358 00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:33,680 question about the station in the 359 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:36,560 retirement of the shuttle fleet time 360 00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:37,730 when a fleet means that we're losing 361 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:40,160 quite a bit of capability and just 362 00:14:43,210 --> 00:14:41,690 wondering what your assessment is in 363 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:43,220 terms of whether the space shuttle is 364 00:14:48,009 --> 00:14:45,290 ready to make this transition and if 365 00:14:50,380 --> 00:14:48,019 there are concerns about the kinds of 366 00:14:56,139 --> 00:14:50,390 capabilities that won't be in the 367 00:14:57,790 --> 00:14:56,149 toolbox in future years well i think you 368 00:15:00,340 --> 00:14:57,800 mean they're the retirement of the space 369 00:15:02,829 --> 00:15:00,350 shuttle and a transition to the museum 370 00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:02,839 if that's what you're referring to its 371 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:05,529 it'll be a little bit more difficult atv 372 00:15:12,009 --> 00:15:09,890 progress hdv provides you know a certain 373 00:15:14,110 --> 00:15:12,019 up mass capability it's not what the 374 00:15:18,850 --> 00:15:14,120 Space Shuttle can do it can't bring 375 00:15:21,189 --> 00:15:18,860 anything home that you can reuse so it's 376 00:15:23,049 --> 00:15:21,199 going to be it'll be a challenge it'll 377 00:15:25,089 --> 00:15:23,059 be a logistical challenge for 378 00:15:27,219 --> 00:15:25,099 the the folks that manage the space 379 00:15:30,309 --> 00:15:27,229 station program but they've planned 380 00:15:31,479 --> 00:15:30,319 ahead and we'll be able to will be able 381 00:15:34,569 --> 00:15:31,489 to handle it and we're going to have a 382 00:15:36,909 --> 00:15:34,579 very capable space station and the the 383 00:15:40,299 --> 00:15:36,919 cruise onboard are going to be able to 384 00:15:42,999 --> 00:15:40,309 contribute in a robust science program 385 00:15:52,509 --> 00:15:43,009 so it's a it's planned to work out and I 386 00:15:54,789 --> 00:15:52,519 think it will endeavor ISS this is 387 00:15:56,529 --> 00:15:54,799 Houston ACR that concludes questions 388 00:15:58,929 --> 00:15:56,539 from the Johnson Space Center please 389 00:16:05,499 --> 00:15:58,939 stand by for a voice check from KSC PA 390 00:16:09,789 --> 00:16:05,509 OH another ISS this is KSC PA oh how do 391 00:16:17,349 --> 00:16:09,799 you hear me will you got you loud and 392 00:16:19,599 --> 00:16:17,359 clear how to hear us unclear none of the 393 00:16:21,579 --> 00:16:19,609 associated press could I start with You 394 00:16:23,949 --> 00:16:21,589 commander Kelly I know you've been 395 00:16:25,119 --> 00:16:23,959 chatting by phone with your wife daily 396 00:16:28,059 --> 00:16:25,129 i'm just wondering have you had a chance 397 00:16:33,429 --> 00:16:28,069 to videocon with her yet or is that in 398 00:16:35,589 --> 00:16:33,439 what days are left of your mission yeah 399 00:16:38,439 --> 00:16:35,599 the plan is to do that tomorrow as a 400 00:16:40,629 --> 00:16:38,449 matter of fact so I plan to do it from 401 00:16:43,509 --> 00:16:40,639 the cupola get her a check give her a 402 00:16:44,829 --> 00:16:43,519 chance to look outside look at the space 403 00:16:46,509 --> 00:16:44,839 shuttle docked to the space station 404 00:16:48,789 --> 00:16:46,519 that's an incredible view to see 405 00:16:51,849 --> 00:16:48,799 endeavour sitting there with the with 406 00:16:53,819 --> 00:16:51,859 the planet just below its towel you can 407 00:16:56,079 --> 00:16:53,829 see I mean you're pretty close and 408 00:16:57,609 --> 00:16:56,089 looking forward to talking to her I've 409 00:17:00,249 --> 00:16:57,619 been speaking with her every night 410 00:17:02,559 --> 00:17:00,259 before I go to bed it's her morning but 411 00:17:04,419 --> 00:17:02,569 it'll be nice to do it via video be able 412 00:17:06,669 --> 00:17:04,429 to see how she's doing and for her to 413 00:17:11,919 --> 00:17:06,679 join us on board the space station for a 414 00:17:13,899 --> 00:17:11,929 little bit I'm how long of a session do 415 00:17:15,609 --> 00:17:13,909 you expect that to be and is it going to 416 00:17:19,239 --> 00:17:15,619 be a special treat for you to see her 417 00:17:24,970 --> 00:17:19,249 post surgery with the repairs to her 418 00:17:29,230 --> 00:17:24,980 skull well I think she sells bandages on 419 00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:29,240 so you know I haven't really thought 420 00:17:35,859 --> 00:17:33,200 about what what to expect the amount of 421 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:35,869 time is I think it's about 20 or 30 422 00:17:38,590 --> 00:17:36,530 minutes 423 00:17:41,230 --> 00:17:38,600 typically our hopefully it'll be in a 424 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:41,240 day pass so I could show her some neat 425 00:17:47,980 --> 00:17:45,650 views of the earth thank you and I'd 426 00:17:50,530 --> 00:17:47,990 like to ask a few of the shuttle crew 427 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:50,540 members there we thought their thoughts 428 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:53,450 their reflections on space shuttle 429 00:17:58,360 --> 00:17:56,690 endeavour's you know the flights almost 430 00:18:00,190 --> 00:17:58,370 over this is almost it there's just a 431 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:00,200 couple more days left for flying for 432 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:01,970 endeavor what are your thoughts when you 433 00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:04,250 take a moment to pause and think about 434 00:18:15,250 --> 00:18:13,130 that I spent quite a lot of time before 435 00:18:18,940 --> 00:18:15,260 going to sleep looking out of the cupola 436 00:18:22,330 --> 00:18:18,950 and endeavour is there waiting with the 437 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:22,340 robotic arm deployed this is my first 438 00:18:27,820 --> 00:18:24,650 opportunity to fly on the shadow and I 439 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:27,830 need to say that is a great machine it 440 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:30,650 perform extremely well and same thing 441 00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:33,890 with the robotic arm I'm very pleased 442 00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:37,520 and it's a unique has been a unique 443 00:18:49,390 --> 00:18:45,710 experience for me happy to be here todd 444 00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:49,400 halvorson of Florida today for I don't 445 00:18:55,510 --> 00:18:52,310 know one of the American guys you guys 446 00:18:59,950 --> 00:18:55,520 are on the cusp of being able to declare 447 00:19:03,580 --> 00:18:59,960 victory assembly complete on the US OS 448 00:19:06,070 --> 00:19:03,590 and and I'm wondering if you could write 449 00:19:09,580 --> 00:19:06,080 this accomplishment and where it stands 450 00:19:18,250 --> 00:19:09,590 in the history of human engineering 451 00:19:21,460 --> 00:19:18,260 achievements yes you're absolutely right 452 00:19:24,010 --> 00:19:21,470 you know we have one more EV a that's 453 00:19:25,740 --> 00:19:24,020 going to leave the the boom from the 454 00:19:27,940 --> 00:19:25,750 shuttle behind that can be used for 455 00:19:30,940 --> 00:19:27,950 helping us reach different parts of the 456 00:19:35,140 --> 00:19:30,950 space station robotically if needed 457 00:19:37,210 --> 00:19:35,150 later we've already installed a pallet 458 00:19:38,620 --> 00:19:37,220 of external spare equipment and but you 459 00:19:40,060 --> 00:19:38,630 know our the part that were we've added 460 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:40,070 that was most significant on our mission 461 00:19:44,830 --> 00:19:42,490 was the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer and 462 00:19:46,900 --> 00:19:44,840 now this is amazing scientific 463 00:19:47,940 --> 00:19:46,910 instrument that really as a possibility 464 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:47,950 of 465 00:19:52,590 --> 00:19:51,010 making some on told discoveries about 466 00:19:54,899 --> 00:19:52,600 the nature of our universe so this is a 467 00:19:57,180 --> 00:19:54,909 really fascinating and a really big 468 00:20:00,180 --> 00:19:57,190 contribution I think to the to the space 469 00:20:01,860 --> 00:20:00,190 station but the space station itself you 470 00:20:03,509 --> 00:20:01,870 know it's it's unbelievable it's it's a 471 00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:03,519 million it is a million pounds of 472 00:20:07,860 --> 00:20:05,830 modules and hardware and scientific 473 00:20:10,220 --> 00:20:07,870 equipment and laboratories and and and 474 00:20:13,529 --> 00:20:10,230 you know we've had 12 people up here 475 00:20:16,049 --> 00:20:13,539 until the last soy his crew just left 476 00:20:17,460 --> 00:20:16,059 and it's an amazing busy place with 477 00:20:20,279 --> 00:20:17,470 around the world up around the world 478 00:20:21,930 --> 00:20:20,289 operations control centers and I think 479 00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:21,940 the things that are going to be done up 480 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:23,470 here over the next several years are 481 00:20:27,539 --> 00:20:25,570 really going to push us far into the 482 00:20:29,159 --> 00:20:27,549 future it's really our doorstep to the 483 00:20:31,889 --> 00:20:29,169 future into exploring the rest of the 484 00:20:33,620 --> 00:20:31,899 solar system and beyond so I think it's 485 00:20:36,539 --> 00:20:33,630 something we really should be proud of 486 00:20:38,310 --> 00:20:36,549 not just Americans at all the Americans 487 00:20:41,220 --> 00:20:38,320 and Russians and all of Europe and in 488 00:20:44,159 --> 00:20:41,230 Canada and all our national partners 489 00:20:45,930 --> 00:20:44,169 it's really an amazing Japan a really 490 00:20:48,779 --> 00:20:45,940 amazing thing we've done together and 491 00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:48,789 it's going to be a terrific next decade 492 00:20:55,860 --> 00:20:50,110 i think all working together toward the 493 00:20:58,820 --> 00:20:55,870 future thanks very much for that I 494 00:21:02,639 --> 00:20:58,830 wanted to ask Mark Kelly about the 495 00:21:05,220 --> 00:21:02,649 upcoming atmospheric re-entry and 496 00:21:07,259 --> 00:21:05,230 landing this is going to be a night 497 00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:07,269 landing and I think it might be your 498 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:08,860 first night landing and I'm wondering 499 00:21:16,620 --> 00:21:12,850 what you think the challenges are going 500 00:21:18,419 --> 00:21:16,630 to be and if you could kind of give us 501 00:21:24,299 --> 00:21:18,429 an idea what do you think it'll be like 502 00:21:27,710 --> 00:21:24,309 Thanks well the biggest challenge is 503 00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:27,720 it's going to be dark you know that's 504 00:21:33,060 --> 00:21:31,510 you know night landings the fact that 505 00:21:34,980 --> 00:21:33,070 you don't have a horizon out the window 506 00:21:36,509 --> 00:21:34,990 could be a little bit more of a 507 00:21:38,610 --> 00:21:36,519 challenge but these are mostly 508 00:21:40,980 --> 00:21:38,620 instrument approaches I mean they really 509 00:21:43,590 --> 00:21:40,990 are i mean we fly the equivalent of what 510 00:21:46,169 --> 00:21:43,600 an ILS would be in an airplane it's a 511 00:21:47,970 --> 00:21:46,179 much steeper glide slope about 20 512 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:47,980 degrees instead of about two or three 513 00:21:54,509 --> 00:21:51,490 degrees so but we fly the approach 514 00:21:56,639 --> 00:21:54,519 exactly the same we have some very 515 00:22:00,240 --> 00:21:56,649 bright lights on the runway so once you 516 00:22:01,710 --> 00:22:00,250 get down below about 100 or 50 feet it's 517 00:22:03,210 --> 00:22:01,720 almost like daytime there 518 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:03,220 when you get get very close to the 519 00:22:08,910 --> 00:22:06,450 ground I've got a lot of night landings 520 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:08,920 over I think about a hundred on an 521 00:22:12,090 --> 00:22:10,690 aircraft carrier those are challenging 522 00:22:14,910 --> 00:22:12,100 too so I've kind of been in this 523 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:14,920 position before I'm ready for it and 524 00:22:22,890 --> 00:22:20,410 look forward to it endeavour ISS this is 525 00:22:24,690 --> 00:22:22,900 Houston ACR that concludes questions 526 00:22:26,610 --> 00:22:24,700 from the Kennedy Space Center please 527 00:22:30,630 --> 00:22:26,620 stand by for a follow-up question from 528 00:22:32,010 --> 00:22:30,640 the Johnson Space Center hi this is 529 00:22:35,670 --> 00:22:32,020 Robert Pearlman with collectspace.com 530 00:22:37,290 --> 00:22:35,680 again with a question for ron garan the 531 00:22:39,090 --> 00:22:37,300 shuttle crew brought up with them LEGO 532 00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:39,100 sets as part of an educational outreach 533 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:41,620 project and I know Katie Collman was 534 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:44,050 quote-unquote trained by her son with 535 00:22:48,510 --> 00:22:46,330 the expectation that she would be 536 00:22:50,820 --> 00:22:48,520 building them but how are your LEGO 537 00:22:52,860 --> 00:22:50,830 building skills and what do you hope 538 00:22:58,610 --> 00:22:52,870 kids watching and perhaps even building 539 00:23:03,810 --> 00:23:01,440 well I mean educate educate outreach is 540 00:23:05,460 --> 00:23:03,820 a big part of what we do at NASA I think 541 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:05,470 just the fact that we're flying in space 542 00:23:09,090 --> 00:23:06,730 and the amazing things that we're doing 543 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:09,100 in space are very inspiring I know when 544 00:23:14,100 --> 00:23:11,530 I was a kid I was inspired by the space 545 00:23:16,410 --> 00:23:14,110 program and I you know as far as the 546 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:16,420 legos go I think well I think my lego 547 00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:18,690 skills are pretty good I'll have to see 548 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:20,710 but you know that we have lots of 549 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:23,170 different methods of education outreach 550 00:23:29,220 --> 00:23:27,010 that's one of them and you know I think 551 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:29,230 that's you know one of the one of the 552 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:30,970 reasons why we have the space station is 553 00:23:36,180 --> 00:23:34,570 to inspire the next generation it's bill 554 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:36,190 hard one more time with a question for 555 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:38,410 one of the Russian guys if I can for 556 00:23:42,060 --> 00:23:40,930 commander borisenko you've been up there 557 00:23:44,220 --> 00:23:42,070 for a while I'm wondering what your 558 00:23:46,050 --> 00:23:44,230 impression of life in the space station 559 00:23:57,980 --> 00:23:46,060 is and how you're enjoying your stay so 560 00:24:08,330 --> 00:24:04,940 yeah but not the I'll be answering 561 00:24:11,390 --> 00:24:08,340 that one in Russian Stan say that our 562 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:11,400 life here on the station is the life 563 00:24:18,470 --> 00:24:14,490 that's filled with work we're on duty 24 564 00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:18,480 7 even when we're asleep we're always 565 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:22,110 ready to we're always ready to quickly 566 00:24:40,750 --> 00:24:24,690 respond to whatever situation that may 567 00:24:46,580 --> 00:24:44,169 everybody that this has been the first 568 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:46,590 space flight of such an important 569 00:24:52,490 --> 00:24:49,410 vehicle such an important vehicle that's 570 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:52,500 a space station is really hard to 571 00:25:00,290 --> 00:24:57,090 maintain by by the capabilities of just 572 00:25:01,820 --> 00:25:00,300 you know the two folks and so you know 573 00:25:04,610 --> 00:25:01,830 the folks that were waiting for us here 574 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:04,620 previous increment took us from the zero 575 00:25:11,740 --> 00:25:07,610 cycle all the way through all the 576 00:25:13,910 --> 00:25:11,750 elements of hand over and so we're not 577 00:25:17,060 --> 00:25:13,920 rookies anymore in the station has 578 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:17,070 become our home and we're here to 579 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:20,250 welcome and be happy to have any guests 580 00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:21,690 that may come and visit and we're here 581 00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:25,110 to share their experiences in also 582 00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:33,470 endeavor ISS this is Houston ACR that 583 00:25:37,310 --> 00:25:35,370 concludes questions from the Johnson 584 00:25:43,810 --> 00:25:37,320 Space Center please stand by for a voice 585 00:25:54,310 --> 00:25:47,450 ISS ISS this is either appear at the 586 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:00,860 we hear you loud and clear this is now 587 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:10,820 buongiorno bad this is kibaki's folia 588 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:14,010 the movie think we do say the moment 589 00:26:20,150 --> 00:26:17,730 that you enter in the space station is 590 00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:20,160 the first time that too two people were 591 00:26:26,180 --> 00:26:23,130 at the same time unfortunately due to 592 00:26:29,030 --> 00:26:26,190 availability we didn't have chance to 593 00:26:35,210 --> 00:26:29,040 have to see your entrance can you please 594 00:26:37,850 --> 00:26:35,220 tell us how it was leveraging the 595 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:37,860 operations Ganges and radish when we 596 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:41,730 record in the station in the probe a 597 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:44,010 very very fickle and then that no the 598 00:26:51,020 --> 00:26:47,610 proof in order to check the pressure of 599 00:26:53,870 --> 00:26:51,030 the shuttle finally portal ona we open 600 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:53,880 the big door lithonia reality building 601 00:27:01,100 --> 00:26:57,690 the fancy it happened in two phases the 602 00:27:03,980 --> 00:27:01,110 first phase is me and the Commandant we 603 00:27:06,380 --> 00:27:03,990 went to open the big door oh very you 604 00:27:09,410 --> 00:27:06,390 know the despot end to remove one of the 605 00:27:12,830 --> 00:27:09,420 most important experiences of the 606 00:27:15,650 --> 00:27:12,840 mission experiment revista when we open 607 00:27:19,490 --> 00:27:15,660 the big door I saw Paulo on the other 608 00:27:23,210 --> 00:27:19,500 side we said hi to each other then I got 609 00:27:25,490 --> 00:27:23,220 back mid trivia will expand we went it 610 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:25,500 will put on the side the experiment pero 611 00:27:30,530 --> 00:27:27,810 Agrabah Joe there was the whole 612 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:30,540 equipment inside the station Fatima 613 00:27:36,140 --> 00:27:33,090 Sandler first fi most part in the 614 00:27:38,230 --> 00:27:36,150 shelter was very particular nature and 615 00:27:41,380 -->

did they go I nested ms quarter 635 00:28:45,430 --> 00:28:42,710 journa was this theory from the since 636 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:45,440 the fourth day no vaccine adopted we did 637 00:28:52,140 --> 00:28:48,770 a double operation that's Eon to robotic 638 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:52,150 arms lega me and a colleague of mine 639 00:28:58,210 --> 00:28:54,890 Linton a little shot we were inside the

AMS SAT behind then we 643 00:29:11,710 --> 00:29:09,230 passed it to the robotic arm of the 644 00:29:14,890 --> 00:29:11,720 space Jason from sin antigen now it's 645 00:29:17,410 --> 00:29:14,900 working it's already on everything was 646 00:29:20,620 --> 00:29:17,420 perfectly and it's transmitting already 647 00:29:23,830 --> 00:29:20,630 here is you tatty and now we have great 648

00:32:19,370 --> 00:32:15,010 you are you are able to confront every 701 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:19,380 situation can you tell us some occasion 702 00:32:28,140 --> 00:32:23,890 that you have to use your knowledgeable 703 00:32:31,140 --> 00:32:28,150 your knowledge and abilities the destron 704 00:32:33,540 --> 00:32:31,150 enters yeah the training and model 705 00:32:36,870 --> 00:32:33,550 interpreter illustrates the way to 706 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:36,880 interpret the Russian experience and the 707 00:32:42,270 --> 00:32:38,890 American one systematic accomplished 708 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:42,280 it's a very systematic training in the 709 00:32:49,410 --> 00:32:46,930 specific of the mission 134 we did two 710 00:32:52,490 --> 00:32:49,420 years of training reproduce it's 711 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:52,500 impossible to reproduce the microgravity 712 00:33:00,450 --> 00:32:56,290 but it is impossible to produce in the 713 00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:00,460 land the very particulars of the way you 714 00:33:05,910 --> 00:33:03,310 work in the station outside the 715 00:33:09,030 --> 00:33:05,920 atmosphere of a structure very 716 00:33:12,210 --> 00:33:09,040 particular which is the International 717 00:33:15,420 --> 00:33:12,220 Space Station service in reality science 718 00:33:18,930 --> 00:33:15,430 they did it helps you to get to know 719 00:33:22,380 --> 00:33:18,940 under the systems but in reality tootin 720 00:33:25,980 --> 00:33:22,390 temporary Alan it's all a real time from 721 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:25,990 the moment that you turn off the engines 722 00:33:32,250 --> 00:33:28,570 is adapted to the moment that your or 723 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:32,260 your body gets adapted for what arrest 724 00:33:39,330 --> 00:33:34,690 understand all this cannot be proved 725 00:33:43,020 --> 00:33:39,340 through training on temple real and it 726 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:43,030 becomes a real time soon as proof he 727 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:46,210 wore an astronaut we can do and can 728 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:49,450 adapt to those particular conditions in 729 00:33:54,420 --> 00:33:51,490 a fashion that authority to Train also 730 00:33:58,500 --> 00:33:54,430 baidu becoming a treasure wherever you 731 00:34:01,740 --> 00:33:58,510 learn and but the spaceflight is 732 00:34:05,130 --> 00:34:01,750 something you have to adopt yourself in 733 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:05,140 the moment dead just say you're not 734 00:34:09,149 --> 00:34:06,370 allowed you know 735 00:34:11,850 --> 00:34:09,159 to train yourself there are exceptions 736 00:34:14,790 --> 00:34:11,860 regular it was like example at the start 737 00:34:18,690 --> 00:34:14,800 seeing to adopt yourself under land 738 00:34:21,659 --> 00:34:18,700 tecnica particularly with a special 739 00:34:24,649 --> 00:34:21,669 technical way in a swimming pool where 740 00:34:28,919 --> 00:34:24,659 the astronauts they use certain suits 741 00:34:33,659 --> 00:34:28,929 with a certain equipment that they float 742 00:34:36,389 --> 00:34:33,669 inside the swimming pool and estimating 743 00:34:39,060 --> 00:34:36,399 bohemian also the training in the water 744 00:34:43,290 --> 00:34:39,070 the antique alone gives you training but 745 00:34:48,090 --> 00:34:43,300 it's not identical therefore you have to 746 00:34:50,190 --> 00:34:48,100 adopt yourself in real time love Lisa 747 00:34:52,430 --> 00:34:50,200 Kelly nice Katie given to borrow it is 748 00:34:57,090 --> 00:34:52,440 Rebecca no serum I would like to know 749 00:35:02,970 --> 00:34:57,100 the emotions is there a moment that you 750 00:35:06,570 --> 00:35:02,980 might remember or not forget I've 751 00:35:09,870 --> 00:35:06,580 revoluta I would have liked I've had the 752 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:09,880 camera at the moment of the launch of 753 00:35:16,890 --> 00:35:13,930 the shuttle that's one of the most 754 00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:16,900 emotional moment of all the mission two 755 00:35:21,570 --> 00:35:19,510 years in training container wash the 756 00:35:25,020 --> 00:35:21,580 reston and also when they count down 757 00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:25,030 deland juventino the last intention the 758 00:35:32,820 --> 00:35:30,730 29 of april a la da da da croatian mr. 759 00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:32,830 Kendall and are at zero then the 760 00:35:37,890 --> 00:35:35,710 countdown went 2-0 in Quail momenta in 761 00:35:41,580 --> 00:35:37,900 the very moment I would have a therapy I 762 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:41,590 would have liked to took a picture but 763 00:35:47,940 --> 00:35:45,370 it was not possible because we are in a 764 00:35:52,110 --> 00:35:47,950 conditions there are / very extremely 765 00:35:54,780 --> 00:35:52,120 particular we are sitting vertically but 766 00:35:59,280 --> 00:35:54,790 well Don fight whatever chance we in 767 00:36:01,670 --> 00:35:59,290 that very instant you know in moment to 768 00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:01,680 the land at the moment Oregon of the 769 00:36:08,430 --> 00:36:05,110 launch of the shuttles which is 770 00:36:12,150 --> 00:36:08,440 characterized culture it's like a big 771 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:12,160 kick out silly re when the engines get 772 00:36:17,660 --> 00:36:15,930 on return team president it is also very 773 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:17,670 impressionist that 774 00:36:24,710 --> 00:36:20,970 for three minutes make a lot of big 775 00:36:28,609 --> 00:36:24,720 impression c'est pour la visibility and 776 00:36:31,970 --> 00:36:28,619 also the visibility mo Kadri because we 777 00:36:35,660 --> 00:36:31,980 are looking towards the sky if there are 778 00:36:38,990 --> 00:36:35,670 clouds lock your things vista with the 779 00:36:41,359 --> 00:36:39,000 course of a seal of the eye so China we 780 00:36:44,510 --> 00:36:41,369 are just going towards the sky but the 781 00:36:47,030 --> 00:36:44,520 other very moment very particular it was 782 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:47,040 in the space when the engines turned off 783 00:36:53,780 --> 00:36:49,490 incredible a Provost Eva and this 784 00:36:56,690 --> 00:36:53,790 progressive grace that brings you from 0 785 00:36:59,809 --> 00:36:56,700 to 25 thousand kilometres per alchemist 786 00:37:02,089 --> 00:36:59,819 it transformed you in the conjugal job 787 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:02,099 and everything around you starts to 788 00:37:07,370 --> 00:37:04,770 floating even this is one of the moment 789 00:37:09,980 --> 00:37:07,380 the makes impression finna marietta the 790 00:37:12,890 --> 00:37:09,990 moment but at the end i can tell you 791 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:12,900 moments there's many of them Geneva late 792 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:16,530 slide inside of the result reasonably 793 00:37:22,970 --> 00:37:19,890 feta he makes an incredible effect from 794 00:37:26,270 --> 00:37:22,980 how you see the land from the space when 795 00:37:33,799 --> 00:37:26,280 we are in orbit we have chance to see 796 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:33,809 backward our blue planet Pina lily 797 00:37:41,450 --> 00:37:37,290 per conto digiovanni caprara big this is 798 00:37:43,780 --> 00:37:41,460 kori rae della Sera what impression did 799 00:37:48,349 --> 00:37:43,790 it make you to celebrate in the space 800 00:37:54,309 --> 00:37:48,359 this particular fact like a hundred and 801 00:37:58,960 --> 00:37:56,900 una delle cose again one of the 802 00:38:01,849 --> 00:37:58,970 things that I do with more pleasure I 803 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:01,859 always try to do not lose the
