00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:25,510
is an example of

4
00:01:30,069 --> 00:01:28,159
how we can resolve all the economic

5
00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:30,079
issues

6
00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:34,799
congratulations on successful return

7
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:36,079

um

17
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:12,470
the earth to which

18
00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:14,869
surprisingly and she made drawings for

19
00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,750
congratulations to everyone who's

20
00:03:35,589 --> 00:03:33,519
supported

21
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,599
your landing

22
00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:37,280
and again congratulations on the

23
00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:39,519
completion of your goals

uh

25
00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:52,710
and congratulations on completion of

26
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:01,830
work in space is outstanding and the

27
00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:03,760
goals that you have met

28
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:06,239
are amazing um

29
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:07,920
enormous the most important thing is

30
00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:09,840
that you have returned to

31
00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:12,000
earth successfully

32
00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:13,920
from the bottom of my heart i would like

33
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:17,759
to say my thanks to the kim of the city

34
00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:18,880
and

35
00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:21,919
to those people who participated in

36
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:24,880
assuring your landing the meteorological

37
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:29,040
conditions were very complicated

38
00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:30,880
i am not going to take your

39
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:31,919
time

40
00:04:35,189 --> 00:04:32,960
and

41
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:35,199
according to the tradition

42
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:36,400
we are giving you the gift of

43
00:04:42,960 --> 00:05:02,550
thank you

44
00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:05,990
may i ask a question yes go ahead

45
00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:13,110
i'm am i very bad speaking in english

46
00:05:18,550 --> 00:05:16,240
but i have some questions

47
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:18,560
speak me please about

48
00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:22,080
how in cosmos and do you like your

49
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:31,830
of course for all of us this has been

50
00:05:37,189 --> 00:05:34,240
our dream for many years it takes

51
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:37,199
the road to space is a very long one

52
00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:39,440
with the help of many people also for

53
00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:40,160
the

54
00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:41,840
excellent training that we receive in

55
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:43,759
many places around the world

56
00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:46,320
but there's nothing that can compare to

57
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:47,280
living

58
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:50,960
in space and working for half of a year

59
00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:54,080
it's a magnificent the work is

60
00:06:00,629 --> 00:05:55,120
very good

61
00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:03,270
fully successful

62
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:05,680
we accomplished many scientific

63
00:06:09,909 --> 00:06:06,960
experiments

64
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:09,919
for example from medical point of view

65
00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:11,840
we created

66
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:15,280
protein crystallization of cancer remedy

67
00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:17,120
treated protein

68
00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:19,520
because under microgravity

69
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:22,880
you have better quality

70
00:06:28,629 --> 00:06:25,520
protein crystallization and on the other

71
00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:28,639
hand when cancer cells grow

72
00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:30,560
you cancer

73
00:06:36,629 --> 00:06:33,120
feeding vessels

74
00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:36,639
grow around the cancer cell so if you

75
00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:39,360
inhibit the growth of the

76
00:06:43,029 --> 00:06:41,360
these vessels

77
00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:43,039
it may lead to

78
00:06:48,390 --> 00:06:47,680
cancer energy so we created that

79
00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:48,400
and

80
00:06:53,909 --> 00:06:51,039
that's called angiogenesis angiogenesis

81
00:06:56,870 --> 00:06:53,919
inhibition related protein and it is

82
00:07:10,230 --> 00:06:59,430
investigation of 3d structure on the

83
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:17,830
thank you

84
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:19,589
all right mike welcome back uh just give

85
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:20,720
us some first impressions of what it

86
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:22,160
feels like to finally be back after five

87
00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:23,280
and a half months

88
00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:24,880
oh gravity's rough

89
00:07:28,629 --> 00:07:26,639
yeah it really is it's such a big

90
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:28,639
difference the ride home

91
00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:30,960
was uh so amazing it was very different

92
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:33,440
from my previous experience on with

93
00:07:37,589 --> 00:07:34,960
space shuttle flights

94
00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:37,599
it's a very uh very efficient

95
00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:40,160
vehicle that means it's really tight it

96
00:07:46,629 --> 00:07:43,199
fits three three guys perfectly and not

97
00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:46,639
much extra room but coming home was you

98
00:07:50,390 --> 00:07:48,240
know is everything i expected they can't

99
00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:50,400
train you for some of this but i i did

100
00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:51,840
spend a lot of time talking to some of

101
00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:52,560
the

102
00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:54,240
most recent crews to come home in a

103
00:07:57,589 --> 00:07:56,560
soyuz to you know get a really good

104
00:07:58,950 --> 00:07:57,599
understanding of what it was going to be

105
00:08:01,350 --> 00:07:58,960
like and i'm glad because it's it's

106
00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:01,360
different at times it's violent

107
00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:03,440
uh coming as we do the atmospheric

108
00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:04,879
reentry

109
00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:07,360
it's kind of like you're inside a roman

110
00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:10,160
candle because you see these

111
00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:12,240
it's an ablative heat shield which means

112
00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:14,560
it burns away and it comes off in pieces

113
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:16,720
that are flaming glowing

114
00:08:21,670 --> 00:08:19,759
just just incandescent orange and

115
00:08:24,309 --> 00:08:21,680
they're coming by the window right by

116
00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:24,319
the window and if you feel that

117
00:08:27,510 --> 00:08:25,680
this is

118
00:08:29,909 --> 00:08:27,520
amazing

119
00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:29,919
so you just finished up about what four

120
00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:31,520
or five days of handing over with dan

121
00:08:34,949 --> 00:08:33,360
burbank pretty short compared to what we

122
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:34,959
typically have whenever one crew hands

123
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:36,240
over to another talk about kind of what

124
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:37,440
you guys talked about and how you were

125
00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:39,279
able to really get all that done

126
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:40,880
within just a really short amount of

127
00:08:45,030 --> 00:08:41,680
time

128
00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:45,040
we started dan's handover about two and

129
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,880
a half months ago when we knew that he

130
00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:48,480
was going to be delayed and we started

131
00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:50,080
doing videos on board i started doing

132
00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:52,320
his handover before he arrived

133
00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:54,399
so i would be doing a certain task and

134
00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:56,399
said let's set up the video recorder get

135
00:08:59,430 --> 00:08:58,240
microphone on me and then let's just

136
00:09:00,630 --> 00:08:59,440
talk through it hey dan here's what

137
00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:00,640
here's how you do this that kind of

138
00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:02,320
thing and so he's had the chance to

139
00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:04,399
study that and in some ways maybe better

140
00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:06,720
prepared because if he didn't understand

141
00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:09,760
it all the first time he just rewinds

142
00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:11,839
hits it again and

143
00:09:15,670 --> 00:09:14,000
you know and then he watched these until

144
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:15,680
he really understood it and so they hit

145
00:09:19,110 --> 00:09:17,200
the ground running you know it's well

146
00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:19,120
it's just one american coming up there

147
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:21,440
and he's you know he's well prepared but

148
00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:23,839
we used every waking minute and we took

149
00:09:27,829 --> 00:09:26,240
some away from sleep to

150
00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:27,839
you know to just go through because

151
00:09:32,949 --> 00:09:30,000
there's a lot to learn uh the

152
00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:32,959
us os or the uh you know the american

153
00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:34,480
side of the station which does include

154
00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:36,959
the japanese and european modules but

155
00:09:41,509 --> 00:09:39,040
it's it's very large and people have

156
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:41,519
been living in it for years uh you know

157
00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:43,360
the central part of the station over 11

158
00:09:46,389 --> 00:09:44,480
years now

159
00:09:48,470 --> 00:09:46,399
and so there's there's a lot of things

160
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:48,480
that have just been passed on from crew

161
00:09:53,829 --> 00:09:51,600
to crew where things are stowed how you

162
00:09:55,750 --> 00:09:53,839
really hook it together what the

163
00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:55,760
procedure you know will eventually say

164
00:09:58,790 --> 00:09:57,519
but it doesn't yet because they haven't

165
00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:58,800
updated it

166
00:10:02,150 --> 00:10:00,000
though all those kind of things take a

167
00:10:04,069 --> 00:10:02,160
lot of time and you know it was it was

168
00:10:05,990 --> 00:10:04,079
very busy and they're going to be very

169
00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:06,000
busy and i intend to get over to the

170
00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:08,399
mission control center you know to uh to

171
00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:10,399
talk to him you know as soon as we get

172
00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:12,480
home in the next few days to

173
00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:13,839
and uh you know he has my cell phone

174
00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:16,399
number and so i expect you know i expect

175
00:10:19,269 --> 00:10:17,600
to hear from him and that's that's

176
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:19,279
totally fair we wanted to you know we

177
00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:20,480
wanted more time but we did what we

178
00:10:22,870 --> 00:10:21,519
could

179
00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:22,880
okay so mike you were up there during

180
00:10:26,069 --> 00:10:23,920
the last shuttle mission you said

181
00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:26,079
farewell to atlantis uh it's a huge

182
00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:28,240
event for nasa uh talk a little bit

183
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:29,760
about you know whatever you'll reflect

184
00:10:34,949 --> 00:10:32,640
back on that what that was like it was a

185
00:10:37,430 --> 00:10:34,959
i mean being there for the last flight

186
00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:37,440
of the space shuttle program was

187
00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:39,680
was huge there was it was it was

188
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:42,240
emotional for all of us i have the first

189
00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:44,560
shuttle mission that i worked was sts-3

190
00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:46,800
back in 1982 when i was loaned over from

191
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:48,560
the air force to nasa i have a long

192
00:10:52,470 --> 00:10:50,240
history of the shuttle program i saw it

193
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:52,480
you know back in the very early days and

194
00:10:56,870 --> 00:10:55,120
and we've grown up you know with us a

195
00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:56,880
very successful program

196
00:11:00,630 --> 00:10:58,640
we've learned some hard lessons uh

197
00:11:01,750 --> 00:11:00,640
through her but you know for for you

198
00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:01,760
know

199
00:11:07,670 --> 00:11:06,160
that fly space shuttles on a fairly

200
00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:07,680
routine basis

201
00:11:12,069 --> 00:11:10,000
and so to be part of that historic last

202
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:12,079
mission it was huge it was a wonderful

203
00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:13,760
crew they were so great they

204
00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:15,200
short-handed they just had four people

205
00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:17,120
but they hit the ground running and did

206
00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:19,200
so much they were so effective and we

207
00:11:22,470 --> 00:11:20,959
had a great time with them and uh they

208
00:11:24,069 --> 00:11:22,480
did i mean we all did great work

209
00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:24,079
together and

210
00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:25,519
you know i'm just just

211
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:27,279
lucky to be there

212
00:11:30,069 --> 00:11:28,560
last question whenever you look back at

213
00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:30,079
your expedition you guys are extremely

214
00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:31,920
busy i had a lot of milestones what will

215
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:34,079
you remember the most the top one or two

216
00:11:36,630 --> 00:11:35,120
things you'll remember the most about

217
00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:36,640
your time up there

218
00:11:40,310 --> 00:11:38,800
yeah i i i kind of make a joke we're

219
00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:40,320
proud that we fixed more than we broke

220
00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:42,480
and we found more than we lost

221
00:11:45,590 --> 00:11:44,240
and that's you know one way to measure

222
00:11:46,710 --> 00:11:45,600
your effectiveness

223
00:11:50,230 --> 00:11:46,720
when we

224
00:11:51,990 --> 00:11:50,240
we we changed from the the shuttle

225
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:52,000
well the shuttle era which was really to

226
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:53,680
find define the space station

227
00:11:58,629 --> 00:11:56,160
construction era we went from assembly

228
00:12:01,509 --> 00:11:58,639
to kicking up the science program into

229
00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:01,519
full gear and we did so we were we were

230
00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:04,399
meeting and exceeding our science goals

231
00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:06,480
every week including when we went down

232
00:12:09,910 --> 00:12:08,160
to a three-person crew

233
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:09,920
and we kept up we we still made the

234
00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:12,160
science numbers it's we're proud of that

235
00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:14,399
my most memorable moment

236
00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:16,800
was probably when i

237
00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:19,200
was able to capture you know to see the

238
00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:22,399
aurora as it really blossomed and that's

239
00:12:25,269 --> 00:12:23,839
the only way to describe it i've seen it

240
00:12:27,269 --> 00:12:25,279
before on my previous space shuttle

241
00:12:28,389 --> 00:12:27,279
flights i've seen it on the ground many

242
00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:28,399
years ago

243
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:29,279
uh

244
00:12:33,430 --> 00:12:31,680
a very good display on the ground but in

245
00:12:36,829 --> 00:12:33,440
the shuttle shuttle flights when the sun

246
00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:36,839
is at a low level of like low level of

247
00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:39,440
activity is a little green on the

248
00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:40,639
horizon

249
00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:42,800
this was amazing

250
00:12:46,629 --> 00:12:45,120
because you could see the auroras the

251
00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:46,639
northern and southern auroras come in

252
00:12:50,629 --> 00:12:48,320
and they formed kind of a donut around

253
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:50,639
the magnetic hole

254
00:12:55,910 --> 00:12:53,760
or poles and and and that's where it

255
00:12:58,550 --> 00:12:55,920
comes during this energy the particles

256
00:13:00,470 --> 00:12:58,560
come streaming in to set up this glow

257
00:13:03,590 --> 00:13:00,480
and you can see it and then you could

258
00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:03,600
see enough of it to understand the the i

259
00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:05,600
mean the three-dimensional shape of it

260
00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:08,160
and at times and i'm not sure exactly

261
00:13:12,870 --> 00:13:10,160
what makes this happen but it spread far

262
00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:12,880
enough that we flew through it

263
00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:14,720
and

264
00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:17,360
i'm in the you know i'm in the cupola

265
00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:19,519
with the cameras you know clicking away

266
00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:20,480
and

267
00:13:23,430 --> 00:13:22,240
wow we're we're really getting close

268
00:13:25,350 --> 00:13:23,440
this time and i realized we're going

269
00:13:27,190 --> 00:13:25,360
through it and it's not a solid thing it

270
00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:27,200
looks like it in the pictures but as you

271
00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:29,120
get up close it's more ethereal you're

272
00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:30,160
it's

273
00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:32,399
but you you are enveloped and you know

274
00:13:37,990 --> 00:13:35,200
that and not just the green but the reds

275
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:38,000
and even blues i caught some blue aurora

276
00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:39,680
which is the same color blue as our

277
00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:40,800
flight suits

278
00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:44,240
and that was just amazing amazing well

279
00:13:46,870 --> 00:13:45,760
it's good to have you back fine

280
00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:46,880
and you know what i liked about the

281
00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:48,480
aurora too and i could gush on that all

282
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:51,120
day but i i managed to capture on on the

283
00:13:55,590 --> 00:13:53,839
cameras to share it because i mean i

284
00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:55,600
loved seeing it for myself but i think

285
00:13:59,350 --> 00:13:57,360
it to me it was really

286
00:14:00,870 --> 00:13:59,360
a huge thing to be able to capture that

287
00:14:03,030 --> 00:14:00,880
so that i could share that with people

288
00:14:05,829 --> 00:14:03,040
in and i i had such a response from

289
00:14:08,710 --> 00:14:05,839
folks that enjoyed you know those images

290
00:14:09,750 --> 00:14:08,720
uh and uh and so i'm proud of that that

291
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:09,760
and it had

292
00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:11,440
nothing to do with our official mission

293
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:13,440
that was the stuff i was doing at night

294
00:14:15,990 --> 00:14:14,480
you know trying to figure out how to

295
00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:16,000
capture those images

296
00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:17,680
and things like that so

297
00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:18,720
you know so

298
00:14:23,910 --> 00:14:21,760
we kept the station going we you know

299
00:14:26,069 --> 00:14:23,920
handed over to the next crew

300
00:14:28,069 --> 00:14:26,079
and we you know did some good work and

301
00:15:02,230 --> 00:14:28,079
had some fun along the way

302
00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:04,710
arrived no issues in flight we're all

303
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:22,069
congratulations thank you

304
00:15:22,079 --> 00:15:37,749
hello

305
00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:43,110
thank you
