1
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,350
hello again

2
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:15,509
let's begin the breast confirmation

3
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:18,720
for the 29th expedition

4
00:00:24,230 --> 00:00:20,880
flight to the space station

5
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:24,240
first let us introduce the crew

6
00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:26,160
anton shkaplerov

7
00:00:31,269 --> 00:00:27,920
commander

8
00:00:33,670 --> 00:00:31,279
and flight engineer for the station

9
00:00:36,630 --> 00:00:33,680
on television

10
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:36,640
from the russian space station

11
00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:39,760
he will be a flight engineer on iss

12
00:01:03,189 --> 00:01:00,869
russian flight engineer

13
00:01:05,590 --> 00:01:03,199
and flight engineer for the iss

14
00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:05,600
a nasa astronaut

15
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:09,680
a flight engineer and commander

16
00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:28,469
to for the preparedness of the flight

17
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:35,510
we have already performed the commission

18
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:37,439
for the flight readiness of the crew the

19
00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:39,360
korea has already performed most of

20
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:40,560
their

21
00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:42,000
training

22
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:45,360
of the

23
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:46,320
training

24
00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:47,680
stations

25
00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:50,000
and a few days after that the commission

26
00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:52,399
is taken and the crew begins the next

27
00:01:56,870 --> 00:01:54,479
stage of training already on the

28
00:01:58,630 --> 00:01:56,880
baikonur cosmodrome now we've had a

29
00:02:02,469 --> 00:01:58,640
little bit of a hold up with the

30
00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:02,479
accident of the progress cargo vehicle

31
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:05,119
it is necessary to determine the final

32
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:07,520
causes of this accident

33
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:08,640
we've had

34
00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:10,640
i needed to have some additional time to

35
00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:13,200
make the decision about the launch

36
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:16,160
as you know the launch was slipped back

37
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:23,830
based on the results of the commission

38
00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:25,280
the crew

39
00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:27,920
is determined to be

40
00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:30,080
to have performed the first stage of

41
00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:31,519
training and the combination has been

42
00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:33,440
given to prepare the final stage of

43
00:02:37,270 --> 00:02:36,160
training on the baikonur cosmodrome as

44
00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:37,280
you will

45
00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:39,599
know cosmonauts usually arrive at the

46
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:41,920
cosmodrome and then begin

47
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:44,319
their final training for the program the

48
00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:46,560
flight program

49
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:48,080
the first stage is ready and now the

50
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:50,400
crew begins the next stage

51
00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:53,120
a few days later already on the concert

52
00:02:57,190 --> 00:02:54,720
room

53
00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:57,200
this is planned for the 31st as far as i

54
00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:58,480
understand

55
00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:00,640
uh yes the 31st they will fly to

56
00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:02,720
baikonur and just trying to answer some

57
00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:05,200
of the questions that you may have what

58
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:07,040
about what has the group been doing all

59
00:03:11,589 --> 00:03:08,720
this time

60
00:03:14,309 --> 00:03:11,599
since the launch of the vehicle has

61
00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:14,319
was slipped a little bit

62
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:15,200
and

63
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:17,040
since there was a slight extension of

64
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:19,200
the crew on board that is on board right

65
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:21,360
now but it's just a few

66
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:22,959
days just a week

67
00:03:27,830 --> 00:03:25,280
so the amount of time that the cruise

68
00:03:30,070 --> 00:03:27,840
will be together has decreased and so

69
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:30,080
we've had some

70
00:03:34,149 --> 00:03:31,360
extra time

71
00:03:35,589 --> 00:03:34,159
right now before the career rise to

72
00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:35,599
baikonur

73
00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:40,879
preparing for the handover because they

74
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:42,560
will have a little bit less time of the

75
00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:46,000
handover right on station

76
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:48,080
so as a result we've added additional

77
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:51,120
training for the handover

78
00:03:54,869 --> 00:03:53,040
they've been speaking with the crews

79
00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:54,879
that have been already on station the

80
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:57,120
previous crews that were there to get a

81
00:04:02,550 --> 00:03:58,560
better

82
00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:02,560
handover is going to happen

83
00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:05,519
but this is nothing new we've had this a

84
00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:08,000
short period of handover

85
00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:09,920
several times over the last few days and

86
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:12,159
also i participated several times in a

87
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:18,949
and so in this case the crisp and

88
00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:21,120
prepared even better

89
00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:23,280
for the handover while still on the

90
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:26,160
ground these are just some general words

91
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:27,440
if you have more specific questions

92
00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:33,110
so

93
00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:35,520
uh gentlemen first of all i want to let

94
00:04:39,749 --> 00:04:37,440
you know that i i want to congratulate

95
00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:39,759
you with this flight that you are ready

96
00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:42,880
to go

97
00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:44,639
and i know there are some changes there

98
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:46,320
are some changes and

99
00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:47,840
congratulations that everything went

100
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:48,800
well

101
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:50,800
and here's the traditional question

102
00:04:54,390 --> 00:04:53,280
about the talisman what are you taking

103
00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:54,400
with us

104
00:05:01,670 --> 00:04:56,560
and if your friends and family will be

105
00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:03,909
yes there is a tradition we're all

106
00:05:08,629 --> 00:05:06,080
taking small talismans with us

107
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:08,639
i'm taking a little toy

108
00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:11,840
that my little daughter gave me

109
00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:12,880
it is

110
00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:15,440
it will play the role of a zero gravity

111
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:23,350
in the habitation module and then after

112
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:24,400
the launch

113
00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:28,400
once we reach space in about 10 minutes

114
00:05:34,150 --> 00:05:31,600
once this little toy starts flying

115
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:34,160
uh it will tell us that we have reached

116
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:36,560
zero gravity we are in space

117
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:38,560
um this is a good luck charm to show

118
00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:40,560
that the lunch for the

119
00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:43,759
for the lunch to go safe this is a small

120
00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:45,919
a small toy

121
00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:49,680
it's like a a small little birdie

122
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:52,160
it's it's kind of a cute little thing

123
00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:54,080
the dog my daughter really loved it and

124
00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:56,080
so she asked me to take it along with me

125
00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:58,080
to space and of course to bring it back

126
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,110
and what else are you taking

127
00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:07,430
i also

128
00:06:12,469 --> 00:06:10,000
had the opportunity to take

129
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:12,479
a small icon that was given in

130
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:14,400
sevastopol

131
00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:17,120
um this is the place where there's the

132
00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:19,520
vladimir cathedral

133
00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:22,160
it's a special place because based on

134
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,870
in the orthodox faith

135
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:30,150
the ruler

136
00:06:36,469 --> 00:06:35,680
name is vladimir

137
00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:36,479
so

138
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:38,639
you can say that that was the birthplace

139
00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:48,150
the priest in charge of the

140
00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:50,560
of this cathedral he gave me personally

141
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:52,400
the icon so that

142
00:06:57,990 --> 00:06:54,880
the icon would bless our trip it would

143
00:07:14,150 --> 00:06:58,000
bless our our launch and i will also

144
00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:17,029
if we use uh

145
00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:20,639
one of if we use his zero gravity

146
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:23,440
indicator because i haven't had any

147
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:24,400
um

148
00:07:29,189 --> 00:07:27,280
toys in a while my son is pretty old

149
00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:29,199
and all the toys that he's used they're

150
00:07:33,350 --> 00:07:30,639
pretty heavy

151
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:33,360
so i won't be able to use them as for me

152
00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:34,880
i'm taking

153
00:07:39,189 --> 00:07:37,520
just some

154
00:07:44,150 --> 00:07:39,199
some pictures some images that i'll be

155
00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:46,150
i think this is a very good tradition

156
00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:48,800
that you've had

157
00:07:51,749 --> 00:07:50,720
oh we've done this on the shuttle as

158
00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:51,759
well

159
00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:53,440
i will have with me

160
00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:55,280
some photographs of my family and

161
00:07:59,510 --> 00:07:56,800
friends

162
00:08:04,230 --> 00:07:59,520
and a few flags small flags uh emblems

163
00:08:08,629 --> 00:08:05,909
i think all of these are really

164
00:08:11,589 --> 00:08:08,639
important for us to to

165
00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:11,599
to stay connected and remember um all

166
00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:13,759
the folks that are here on the earth

167
00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:14,960
that are supporting us during the

168
00:08:18,869 --> 00:08:17,360
mission it get uh it's a physical

169
00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:18,879
representation of

170
00:08:22,629 --> 00:08:21,360
those that we love and care about and

171
00:08:24,629 --> 00:08:22,639
a great place to put a lot of those

172
00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:24,639
things around the the walls of the crew

173
00:08:37,990 --> 00:08:35,589
well i just want to add that this

174
00:08:40,630 --> 00:08:38,000
this toy is not just an indicator of

175
00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:40,640
zero gravity but also of an overload

176
00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:43,120
because i don't know if you noticed

177
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,480
as the toy swings

178
00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:48,480
you can tell by the frequency of the

179
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:51,680
swings whether there's an overload

180
00:08:56,949 --> 00:08:53,519
for example between

181
00:08:58,470 --> 00:08:56,959
the switch from one stage of flight to

182
00:09:00,470 --> 00:08:58,480
the second stage

183
00:09:01,350 --> 00:09:00,480
the first information that you get is to

184
00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:01,360
see

185
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:05,040
how the vehicle is doing based on what

186
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:07,600
the motion of the little toy is telling

187
00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:10,160
you since this launch is happening a bit

188
00:09:13,269 --> 00:09:11,839
later in november the one that was

189
00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:13,279
initially planned for november will be

190
00:09:17,829 --> 00:09:15,279
happening in december

191
00:09:19,509 --> 00:09:17,839
um these gentlemen will be

192
00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:19,519
flying alone

193
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:22,800
just a three person crew until uh mid

194
00:09:25,430 --> 00:09:24,480
december when the second crew will

195
00:09:27,509 --> 00:09:25,440
arrive

196
00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:27,519
so the plan to have to return back to

197
00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:30,160
six person crew is by

198
00:09:38,230 --> 00:09:35,910
and so we've had a little bit of a slip

199
00:09:40,710 --> 00:09:38,240
and a lot of our plans but since there's

200
00:09:42,310 --> 00:09:40,720
launching a bit later

201
00:09:44,310 --> 00:09:42,320
the flight will also be a little bit

202
00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:44,320
shorter to get back to the standard

203
00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:51,590
so i have a question about the

204
00:09:57,269 --> 00:09:54,080
plans for all the science experiments

205
00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:57,279
that are planned for you

206
00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:58,560
what do you think

207
00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:00,399
is the most interesting experiment plan

208
00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:07,190
yes there are a lot of experiments

209
00:10:11,590 --> 00:10:10,800
about 50 experiments per crew member

210
00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:11,600
uh

211
00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:14,399
because there's about 200

212
00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:16,399
experiments on station i think one of

213
00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:17,920
the most interesting for me will be an

214
00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:26,870
this will be performed on the progress

215
00:10:32,389 --> 00:10:29,120
that will be docked to the station

216
00:10:37,910 --> 00:10:33,350
to

217
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:39,590
there will be

218
00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:42,480
a special container

219
00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:44,800
which will contain a satellite which is

220
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:48,800
called um which is the experiment chebus

221
00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:51,760
so after undocking

222
00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:52,880
the

223
00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:55,519
progress vehicle will be about 500

224
00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:58,480
kilometers away from station at a point

225
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:00,880
at which the

226
00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:02,880
this container with the satellite inside

227
00:11:07,509 --> 00:11:05,120
will be launched away from the shuttle

228
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:07,519
it will orbit around the earth as the

229
00:11:13,509 --> 00:11:10,560
progress moves into earth

230
00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:13,519
this is only just the second the type of

231
00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:15,360
this experiment the first experiment

232
00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:17,440
similar to this was much smaller

233
00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:18,720
so i think this would be a lot more

234
00:11:24,310 --> 00:11:20,959
interesting our task will be to install

235
00:11:26,389 --> 00:11:24,320
very carefully the experiment so that

236
00:11:29,190 --> 00:11:26,399
the docking and undocking of the

237
00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:29,200
progress would go nominally

238
00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:30,560
and we've got

239
00:11:33,190 --> 00:11:31,920
i think we've already said we've got

240
00:11:34,949 --> 00:11:33,200
several hundred experiments that'll be

241
00:11:36,069 --> 00:11:34,959
done during our time onboard space

242
00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:36,079
station

243
00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:37,920
for me some of the most interesting

244
00:11:42,230 --> 00:11:40,640
although not necessarily the most

245
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:42,240
enjoyable because often we're the

246
00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:44,320
subjects for them but some of the most

247
00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:46,240
interesting are the ones that

248
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:47,440
that study

249
00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:49,760
how human beings adapt to spaceflight

250
00:11:55,269 --> 00:11:52,880
and these experiments take a global look

251
00:11:56,870 --> 00:11:55,279
at how the human organism

252
00:11:58,629 --> 00:11:56,880
changes in space

253
00:12:00,389 --> 00:11:58,639
a lot of those changes are very similar

254
00:12:02,550 --> 00:12:00,399
to some of the changes

255
00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:02,560
that people experience here on planet

256
00:12:07,829 --> 00:12:04,880
earth during the normal aging process so

257
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:07,839
to me these represent ways that we can

258
00:12:12,069 --> 00:12:09,440
get direct benefit from the space

259
00:12:14,629 --> 00:12:12,079
station that helps people here on earth

260
00:12:15,509 --> 00:12:14,639
but uh also from the perspective

261
00:12:20,069 --> 00:12:15,519
of a

262
00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:20,079
represents a way that we can make space

263
00:12:31,110 --> 00:12:22,399
flight safer so that we can become

264
00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:33,590
for two of you

265
00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:36,160
this is your first flight all all kids

266
00:12:41,910 --> 00:12:37,360
dream of being

267
00:12:45,590 --> 00:12:41,920
you have you ever dreamed about being a

268
00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:48,150
well i i think that it is

269
00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:50,160
it's not something that i've i've

270
00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:52,240
dreamed about particularly i see it as

271
00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:54,160
an important step in our career an

272
00:13:04,389 --> 00:13:01,590
and when i look back

273
00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:04,399
i've i've been coming to this to this

274
00:13:12,949 --> 00:13:11,430
but i think that once i see earth from

275
00:13:14,790 --> 00:13:12,959
the space station for the first time

276
00:13:16,949 --> 00:13:14,800
then i will really feel this

277
00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:16,959
accomplishment i'll understand how

278
00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:18,880
important it is

279
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:20,959
as for me i don't want to disappoint

280
00:13:24,949 --> 00:13:22,880
everyone but i i have dreamed of being a

281
00:13:27,590 --> 00:13:24,959
pilot all my life

282
00:13:29,190 --> 00:13:27,600
i remember a moment when i was in about

283
00:13:32,710 --> 00:13:29,200
10th grade

284
00:13:35,269 --> 00:13:32,720
we had some uh class

285
00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:35,279
i think i think it had to do with the

286
00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:37,360
psychology of family life

287
00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:38,240
and

288
00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:39,440
there we had

289
00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:41,440
couples a boy and a girl

290
00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:45,279
and they had to develop a family

291
00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:46,480
and

292
00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:48,480
all of my

293
00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:52,560
expected and they said that they're

294
00:13:59,990 --> 00:13:54,560
going to be engineers and i said well i

295
00:14:06,069 --> 00:14:02,949
and we were very successful because as

296
00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:06,079
as my pretend family

297
00:14:11,110 --> 00:14:07,600
because i was a customer that was never

298
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,310
thank you very much

299
00:14:18,389 --> 00:14:16,310
we would like to invite mr nikolai buddy

300
00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:18,399
switch from the federation of

301
00:14:23,590 --> 00:14:20,720
cosmonautics

302
00:14:26,069 --> 00:14:23,600
he has brought two gifts for the two

303
00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:26,079
cosmonauts flying for the first time

304
00:14:32,550 --> 00:14:29,440
first of all i'd like to congratulate

305
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:32,560
you on behalf of the president of the

306
00:14:37,189 --> 00:14:33,760
federation

307
00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:37,199
of cosmonauts of russia mr kovalev

308
00:14:41,110 --> 00:14:39,120
for the completion of the training for

309
00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:41,120
the upcoming flight

310
00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:43,440
and in accordance

311
00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:46,480
with the international flight earned the

312
00:14:50,629 --> 00:14:48,639
organization field

313
00:14:51,990 --> 00:14:50,639
all crew members who are getting ready

314
00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:52,000
for their first

315
00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:54,720
flight they are to receive a special

316
00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:57,120
identification card an international

317
00:15:01,189 --> 00:14:58,800
identification card

318
00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:01,199
and these were prepared for

319
00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:02,480
the two

320
00:15:07,430 --> 00:15:04,320
uh quarterfly

321
00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:07,440
anton shkaplerov and

322
00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:09,440
antoine venetian

323
00:15:13,269 --> 00:15:11,360
these two german are getting ready for

324
00:15:13,910 --> 00:15:13,279
their first flight

325
00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:13,920
and

326
00:15:17,189 --> 00:15:15,360
so i'd like to give these two

327
00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:17,199
certifications for them

328
00:15:22,949 --> 00:15:19,680
number 135 for

329
00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:22,959
anton shkaplerov and 136

330
00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:24,240
for

331
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,150
thank you thank you so much

332
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:45,509
thank you

333
00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:48,389
they will take these ids with them

334
00:15:55,430 --> 00:15:50,560
and they will take them with them on all

335
00:15:59,509 --> 00:15:56,949
i'd like to note

336
00:16:01,910 --> 00:15:59,519
that this certification it has

337
00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:01,920
international immunity it is in five

338
00:16:07,350 --> 00:16:04,560
languages written there is a statement

339
00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:07,360
in five languages on the last page

340
00:16:11,509 --> 00:16:08,639
with a request

341
00:16:14,230 --> 00:16:11,519
to provide all sorts of support

342
00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:14,240
to the owner of the certification

343
00:16:19,590 --> 00:16:17,360
and i would just like to

344
00:16:20,949 --> 00:16:19,600
say that i will be

345
00:16:24,310 --> 00:16:20,959
supporting you

346
00:16:31,670 --> 00:16:24,320
from down here from 450 kilometers below

347
00:16:36,069 --> 00:16:33,829
and just to add on to what the crew will

348
00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:36,079
be taking with us with them this is

349
00:16:39,269 --> 00:16:37,600
actually the only

350
00:16:41,350 --> 00:16:39,279
identification

351
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:41,360
that the crew members will be taking

352
00:16:48,629 --> 00:16:44,480
with them to flight

353
00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:48,639
i also received such a certification

354
00:16:53,030 --> 00:16:50,399
a long time ago before my first flight

355
00:16:55,269 --> 00:16:53,040
and six times it's come with me so i

356
00:16:57,269 --> 00:16:55,279
hope that they will also take it along

357
00:16:58,470 --> 00:16:57,279
and there will be long history written

358
00:17:00,310 --> 00:16:58,480
up in those

359
00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:00,320
thank you next question

360
00:17:06,870 --> 00:17:04,559
to fly on this flight particularly and

361
00:17:08,470 --> 00:17:06,880
if anything the crash of the progress

362
00:17:11,829 --> 00:17:08,480
showed the

363
00:17:13,350 --> 00:17:11,839
continuing risks of flying to space why

364
00:17:17,590 --> 00:17:13,360
is it

365
00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:17,600
space faring people like you said

366
00:17:20,789 --> 00:17:19,280
i think that uh that we've learned

367
00:17:22,710 --> 00:17:20,799
something recently

368
00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:22,720
and we've relearned this lesson many

369
00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:24,160
times over the years and that is that

370
00:17:27,189 --> 00:17:26,160
space flight is very difficult

371
00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:27,199
it's one of the hardest things that

372
00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:29,600
human beings have ever tried to do

373
00:17:34,870 --> 00:17:31,280
and it's going to continue to be that

374
00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:34,880
way for for quite a long time to come

375
00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:37,360
but i really believe that that it's

376
00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:39,520
humanity's destiny to fly in space this

377
00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:40,400
is

378
00:17:45,669 --> 00:17:44,559
by overcoming the challenges that we

379
00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:45,679
have

380
00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:48,320
that the space program gets safer

381
00:17:52,150 --> 00:17:50,480
the soyuz rockets will be safer than

382
00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:52,160
they've ever been

383
00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:54,640
the space shuttle after our experiences

384
00:17:58,150 --> 00:17:56,400
with challenger and then with colombia

385
00:17:59,110 --> 00:17:58,160
became safer than they had ever been

386
00:18:01,669 --> 00:17:59,120
before

387
00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:01,679
and with each of these things we make

388
00:18:06,070 --> 00:18:04,160
space flight in general safer and

389
00:18:08,230 --> 00:18:06,080
that's a normal process

390
00:18:09,990 --> 00:18:08,240
and it's a good opportunity for us to

391
00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:10,000
work together all the partners of space

392
00:18:15,029 --> 00:18:13,120
station as as human beings in this great

393
00:18:16,150 --> 00:18:15,039
endeavor

394
00:18:18,390 --> 00:18:16,160
so in general right now i think we've

395
00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:18,400
got a great opportunity to build a whole

396
00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:20,640
host of new vehicles that'll get us to

397
00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:23,120
space in many different ways

398
00:18:26,789 --> 00:18:25,280
i believe that we'll continue to explore

399
00:18:28,549 --> 00:18:26,799
space and we'll do it better and better

400
00:18:29,430 --> 00:18:28,559
and we'll do it together

401
00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:29,440
and

402
00:18:36,630 --> 00:18:35,120
friends

403
00:18:38,789 --> 00:18:36,640
and to

404
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:38,799
to help

405
00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:40,000
continue

406
00:18:44,710 --> 00:18:42,000
the voyage that we've all set out in

407
00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:44,720
spaceflight so so human beings should do

408
00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:46,720
this we will do this we'll do it better

409
00:18:49,990 --> 00:18:48,640
and better and at the risk of being too

410
00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:50,000
long-winded here let me just say one

411
00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:52,559
thing as an example a concrete example

412
00:18:55,990 --> 00:18:54,400
about how we made how we learned from

413
00:18:57,590 --> 00:18:56,000
this lesson and actually made things

414
00:18:59,669 --> 00:18:57,600
better

415
00:19:02,390 --> 00:18:59,679
ordinarily we have two months or four

416
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:02,400
months of handover time on orbit this

417
00:19:07,029 --> 00:19:04,720
time we have maybe five days

418
00:19:09,029 --> 00:19:07,039
but in fact because of the situation

419
00:19:11,270 --> 00:19:09,039
that hand over time has already begun we

420
00:19:13,430 --> 00:19:11,280
have spent the last six weeks uh

421
00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:13,440
training working with the crew onboard

422
00:19:17,510 --> 00:19:15,360
space station through video conferences

423
00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:17,520
through phone calls through downlink

424
00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:20,080
video so we in this in essence i think

425
00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:21,919
are better prepared now than we probably

426
00:19:26,789 --> 00:19:24,240
would have been had we had the limited

427
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:26,799
time that we ordinarily have on board to

428
00:19:30,390 --> 00:19:28,720
work together we

429
00:19:33,430 --> 00:19:30,400
anton and anatoly are talking with

430
00:19:35,590 --> 00:19:33,440
sergey a couple of times a day and uh

431
00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:35,600
and i'm also working with with mike and

432
00:19:39,669 --> 00:19:38,320
satoshi learning about the us segment

433
00:19:41,590 --> 00:19:39,679
systems

434
00:19:43,430 --> 00:19:41,600
and i've got dozens of hours of

435
00:19:49,029 --> 00:19:43,440
videotape that show me just how to

436
00:19:54,070 --> 00:19:51,029
we have another question for daniel so

437
00:19:55,270 --> 00:19:54,080
you're flying on the soyuz for the first

438
00:19:57,270 --> 00:19:55,280
time

439
00:19:58,789 --> 00:19:57,280
as opposed to the shuttle what are the

440
00:20:01,110 --> 00:19:58,799
similarities and the differences between

441
00:20:02,870 --> 00:20:01,120
the shuttle and the soyuz the to me the

442
00:20:04,950 --> 00:20:02,880
soyuz is like a sports car where the

443
00:20:06,870 --> 00:20:04,960
shuttle is like a uh

444
00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:06,880
an 18-wheeler and

445
00:20:11,350 --> 00:20:08,240
i'm very much looking forward to the

446
00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:11,360
ride uphill on the soyuz and

447
00:20:16,470 --> 00:20:14,080
i think it'll be maybe

448
00:20:19,029 --> 00:20:16,480
a little bit it'll be less room to move

449
00:20:22,149 --> 00:20:19,039
about in on board

450
00:20:24,710 --> 00:20:22,159
used before we dock but uh but i have

451
00:20:28,470 --> 00:20:24,720
since i began my career with nasa i've

452
00:20:30,390 --> 00:20:28,480
always wanted to fly on a rocket uh like

453
00:20:32,710 --> 00:20:30,400
in a small vehicle like the soyuz so i'm

454
00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:32,720
very much looking forward to it and

455
00:20:36,710 --> 00:20:35,120
that hasn't changed a bit uh within

456
00:20:47,029 --> 00:20:36,720
light of recent events over the past

457
00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:49,590
during your flight on iss there will be

458
00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:52,720
a small anniversary

459
00:20:58,149 --> 00:20:56,720
the iss will have the 75th

460
00:20:59,190 --> 00:20:58,159
75

461
00:21:01,029 --> 00:20:59,200
000th

462
00:21:03,430 --> 00:21:01,039
orbit around

463
00:21:04,789 --> 00:21:03,440
earth how are you planning to celebrate

464
00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:04,799
this

465
00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:06,880
well i think we'll celebrate celebrating

466
00:21:11,510 --> 00:21:09,360
our own little space way

467
00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:11,520
maybe we'll have a family gathering

468
00:21:18,549 --> 00:21:13,120
around

469
00:21:23,430 --> 00:21:21,110
we'll open up our bonus containers have

470
00:21:28,549 --> 00:21:23,440
some special food

471
00:21:32,870 --> 00:21:30,390
and of course we'll try to

472
00:21:34,630 --> 00:21:32,880
send our hellos to those who are on the

473
00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:34,640
ground who are continuing to support

474
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:36,960
station from the ground who continue

475
00:21:41,190 --> 00:21:39,520
the cosmonaut training we'll send our

476
00:21:51,669 --> 00:21:41,200
best to the customers who've already

477
00:21:54,870 --> 00:21:53,430
you're probably wondering what has been

478
00:21:59,190 --> 00:21:54,880
going on

479
00:22:03,270 --> 00:21:59,200
this past week these past weeks

480
00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:03,280
the crew members have been in them

481
00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:07,909
customized for a long time they've been

482
00:22:14,470 --> 00:22:12,320
undergoing training for a long time

483
00:22:16,230 --> 00:22:14,480
so they are fully ready and so it is

484
00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:16,240
hard to say

485
00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:17,840
what nuance

486
00:22:24,710 --> 00:22:20,080
specifically makes

487
00:22:29,190 --> 00:22:26,870
it may be that it's the training that

488
00:22:32,070 --> 00:22:29,200
helps in flight it may be just a

489
00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:32,080
an unofficial conversation over t

490
00:22:36,149 --> 00:22:34,320
that that information ends up being more

491
00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:36,159
important on the flight

492
00:22:42,149 --> 00:22:39,600
but i want to stress that this is

493
00:22:43,909 --> 00:22:42,159
this is nominal training and they're

494
00:22:45,669 --> 00:22:43,919
fully prepared and what is going on

495
00:22:51,190 --> 00:22:45,679
right now is additional training but

496
00:22:54,789 --> 00:22:53,029
there's been a lot

497
00:22:55,590 --> 00:22:54,799
said about the crew

498
00:22:57,430 --> 00:22:55,600
who

499
00:22:59,830 --> 00:22:57,440
is on station you've been speaking a lot

500
00:23:01,029 --> 00:22:59,840
with the crew what are the advices that

501
00:23:02,070 --> 00:23:01,039
they're giving

502
00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:02,080
you

503
00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:03,760
because they've had a lot of experience

504
00:23:07,909 --> 00:23:05,760
on station

505
00:23:09,669 --> 00:23:07,919
and if you can answer the question that

506
00:23:12,710 --> 00:23:09,679
i've already asked

507
00:23:15,190 --> 00:23:12,720
why is it worth uh risking

508
00:23:20,070 --> 00:23:15,200
why is it worth having a space flight

509
00:23:23,990 --> 00:23:21,110
i just

510
00:23:25,669 --> 00:23:24,000
again want to stress that we are very

511
00:23:27,110 --> 00:23:25,679
closely training with a crew that is

512
00:23:29,350 --> 00:23:27,120
already on board

513
00:23:33,270 --> 00:23:29,360
they give us a lot of

514
00:23:34,470 --> 00:23:33,280
valuable advice

515
00:23:37,029 --> 00:23:34,480
starting

516
00:23:39,430 --> 00:23:37,039
from the very basic household

517
00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:39,440
questions like how to prepare food

518
00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:42,559
how to get used to zero gravity

519
00:23:44,950 --> 00:23:43,520
um

520
00:23:46,470 --> 00:23:44,960
and it's important to speak to them

521
00:23:47,909 --> 00:23:46,480
because they can provide this

522
00:23:50,789 --> 00:23:47,919
information since they've gone through

523
00:23:55,350 --> 00:23:50,799
it themselves

524
00:23:56,950 --> 00:23:55,360
and yes there is a lot of risk involved

525
00:24:00,070 --> 00:23:56,960
but

526
00:24:04,390 --> 00:24:02,149
uh we know that there are a lot of

527
00:24:15,110 --> 00:24:04,400
nominal situations that may occur and

528
00:24:20,310 --> 00:24:17,029
yes there are difficulties there are

529
00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:20,320
complications in what we do

530
00:24:25,750 --> 00:24:23,440
but unfortunately it's a pretty rare

531
00:24:27,830 --> 00:24:25,760
thing that happens

532
00:24:33,590 --> 00:24:27,840
and so i think we should need to we need

533
00:24:38,870 --> 00:24:35,190
and we need to do everything we can to

534
00:24:43,350 --> 00:24:40,630
yeah i'd like to thank all the people

535
00:24:44,230 --> 00:24:43,360
present for their good questions and

536
00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:44,240
uh

537
00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:46,960
the cosmonauts and astronauts for their

538
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,990
thank you so much

539
00:25:00,950 --> 00:24:55,669
okay now we can do some traditional

540
00:25:05,110 --> 00:25:02,230
okay

541
00:25:09,990 --> 00:25:05,120
hand shake as always traditional

542
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:18,950
thank you

543
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:29,510
foreign

544
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:42,230
okay thank you

545
00:25:42,240 --> 00:26:02,870
so maybe 15 minutes

546
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:21,029
um

547
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:26,390
all right

548
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:48,390
okay

549
00:26:48,400 --> 00:27:30,549
foreign

550
00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:55,669
okay

551
00:27:55,679 --> 00:28:22,389
good

552
00:29:11,110 --> 00:28:46,870
oh

553
00:29:14,950 --> 00:29:12,630
it's one of the great traditions that we

554
00:29:15,909 --> 00:29:14,960
uh we typically do before uh missions

555
00:29:17,510 --> 00:29:15,919
here

556
00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:17,520
every cosmonaut every astronaut that

557
00:29:22,310 --> 00:29:19,840
flies aboard soyuz will come here and

558
00:29:24,710 --> 00:29:22,320
visit red square and uh and basically

559
00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:24,720
just pay tribute to uh to the folks who

560
00:29:27,909 --> 00:29:26,399
kind of laid the foundations of the

561
00:29:29,190 --> 00:29:27,919
russian space program

562
00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:29,200
yuri gagarin

563
00:29:33,590 --> 00:29:32,480
um sergey korliov and the others who uh

564
00:29:34,789 --> 00:29:33,600
who kind of

565
00:29:36,710 --> 00:29:34,799
paved the way

566
00:29:38,870 --> 00:29:36,720
for the russian program here so it's a

567
00:29:40,549 --> 00:29:38,880
one of a lot of very neat traditions

568
00:29:42,389 --> 00:29:40,559
we've got many on

569
00:29:44,310 --> 00:29:42,399
that we also do

570
00:29:45,830 --> 00:29:44,320
in america in the united states

571
00:29:58,310 --> 00:29:45,840
this is kind of special a lot of history

572
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:09,830
uh

573
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:48,070
oh

574
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:59,990
is

575
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:14,310
everyone together

576
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:24,870
is

577
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:46,230
there was a big fire

578
00:31:46,240 --> 00:32:12,310
music

579
00:32:17,029 --> 00:32:14,149
so again here we are touring some famous

580
00:32:19,110 --> 00:32:17,039
sites and uh inside the kremlin uh red

581
00:32:21,110 --> 00:32:19,120
square which we were just uh at that's

582
00:32:23,430 --> 00:32:21,120
right outside the kremlin wall and now

583
00:32:25,990 --> 00:32:23,440
we're inside and

584
00:32:29,350 --> 00:32:26,000
uh this is the czar scanning and we were

585
00:32:32,710 --> 00:32:31,110
a lot of history and something that

586
00:32:34,470 --> 00:32:32,720
traditionally all the crews will come

587
00:32:35,830 --> 00:32:34,480
and visit just before

588
00:32:37,750 --> 00:32:35,840
about a week before you head down the

589
00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:37,760
lawn so

590
00:32:41,269 --> 00:32:39,840
seven days from now we plan to be on our

591
00:32:43,110 --> 00:32:41,279
way to baikonur and then shortly

592
00:32:44,950 --> 00:32:43,120
thereafter on the way to space station a

593
00:32:57,269 --> 00:32:44,960
little bit later than we planned but

594
00:32:57,279 --> 00:33:22,389
