00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:48,399
closer did you get closer or further

195
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:53,350
well the reboost

196
00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:54,560
is

197
00:11:59,430 --> 00:11:57,200
a nominal procedure usually we bring it

198
00:12:02,150 --> 00:11:59,440
up sometimes we lower it especially to

199
00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:02,160
support the shuttle flights but normally

200
00:12:05,590 --> 00:12:03,760
we just lift it a little bit and that's

201
00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:05,600
a normal procedure

202
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:06,720
nothing

203
00:12:18,790 --> 00:12:16,310
rob mavis with nasa television two

204
00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:18,800
questions for don um first of all you

205
00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:20,160
and your crewmates will begin the new

206
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:22,000
year as a crew presiding

207
00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:24,000
over a transition for the international

208
00:12:28,629 --> 00:12:26,320
space station and the post shuttle era

209
00:12:30,389 --> 00:12:28,639
how complex will your half year in orbit

210
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:30,399
be with the arrival for the first time

211
00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:31,760
of new commercial

212
00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:33,519
supply vehicles and all of the other

213
00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:35,760
work that you and your crewmates face in

214
00:12:49,509 --> 00:12:38,720
this post-shuttle time frame

215
00:12:49,519 --> 00:13:04,629
you're coming

216
00:13:31,430 --> 00:13:13,750
a

217
00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:31,440
htv

218
00:13:37,269 --> 00:13:34,399
and atv these vehicles also represent a

219
00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:37,279
fair amount of work as well as keeping

220
00:13:42,150 --> 00:13:39,440
all the mechanisms on space station

221
00:13:43,350 --> 00:13:42,160
operating and then of course we have the

222
00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:43,360
real work

223
00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:46,399
of space station which is doing the

224
00:13:51,430 --> 00:13:48,720
scientific experiments and the

225
00:13:53,509 --> 00:13:51,440
engineering research as well

226
00:13:55,509 --> 00:13:53,519
as the follow-up this will be the second

227
00:13:57,829 --> 00:13:55,519
time in your career you'll be spending

228
00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:57,839
christmas in orbit

229
00:14:00,710 --> 00:13:59,199
what plans do you and your crewmates

230
00:14:03,030 --> 00:14:00,720
have to celebrate the holidays with the

231
00:14:05,509 --> 00:14:03,040
trio already on the station

232
00:14:07,990 --> 00:14:05,519
we've been so busy preparing for the

233
00:14:09,509 --> 00:14:08,000
mission it's hard to think too much

234
00:14:11,590 --> 00:14:09,519
about christmas

235
00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:11,600
however

236
00:14:15,590 --> 00:14:14,000
our commander on station

237
00:14:18,389 --> 00:14:15,600
dan burbank

238
00:14:20,949 --> 00:14:18,399
will probably have the the

239
00:14:23,590 --> 00:14:20,959
christmas hats and the wreaths and the

240
00:14:25,269 --> 00:14:23,600
stockings hung with care

241
00:14:26,710 --> 00:14:25,279
uh this is kisha hexer for dutch

242
00:14:27,910 --> 00:14:26,720
television with a question for mr

243
00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:27,920
calpers

244
00:14:31,509 --> 00:14:29,279
i think the dutch public would like to

245
00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:31,519
know uh very much what you are looking

246
00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:45,430
um

247
00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:50,320
to to living in space

248
00:14:54,870 --> 00:14:52,240
my first flight was uh

249
00:14:56,870 --> 00:14:54,880
was relatively short and

250
00:14:58,389 --> 00:14:56,880
when i had to leave i thought well i

251
00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:58,399
finally feel a bit at home and now i

252
00:15:01,829 --> 00:14:59,600
have to go

253
00:15:03,990 --> 00:15:01,839
so this time i can really

254
00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:04,000
live in space and make it my home

255
00:15:07,509 --> 00:15:05,600
and that's what i'm looking forward to

256
00:15:09,189 --> 00:15:07,519
it will take some time i hear from my

257
00:15:10,949 --> 00:15:09,199
colleagues that it takes considerably

258
00:15:13,910 --> 00:15:10,959
more than a short flight

259
00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:13,920
to get uh to feel at home but

260
00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:16,320
after a while i i'm afraid that at the

261
00:15:18,629 --> 00:15:17,600
end of the mission i don't want to go

262
00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:18,639
anymore

263
00:15:52,639 --> 00:16:15,670
um

264
00:16:19,509 --> 00:16:17,829
thank you very much then uh is there

265
00:16:21,350 --> 00:16:19,519
something you are going to do different

266
00:16:35,509 --> 00:16:21,360
from the last time seven years ago that

267
00:16:39,829 --> 00:16:37,910
um well things i'm going to do different

268
00:16:42,870 --> 00:16:39,839
uh

269
00:16:45,110 --> 00:16:42,880
not so much but i i can do more things

270
00:16:47,910 --> 00:16:45,120
uh i can do more things and at the

271
00:16:49,990 --> 00:16:47,920
quieter pace i mean i have more time to

272
00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:50,000
to look at all the place i want to look

273
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:51,680
and do there's different things i want

274
00:16:56,550 --> 00:16:53,920
to do with with weightlessness

275
00:16:58,949 --> 00:16:56,560
so i think it will be

276
00:17:00,790 --> 00:16:58,959
more more relaxed

277
00:17:43,190 --> 00:17:00,800
and

278
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:52,230
foreign

279
00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:54,549
daily newspaper id

280
00:17:59,270 --> 00:17:57,200
first of all how are you feeling that

281
00:18:01,830 --> 00:17:59,280
and can you give us a brief description

282
00:18:04,230 --> 00:18:01,840
what you how you are living to the

283
00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:04,240
the launch

284
00:18:07,990 --> 00:18:05,600
and

285
00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:08,000
what will you miss the most

286
00:18:23,919 --> 00:18:28,230
um

287
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,549
well

288
00:18:34,150 --> 00:18:31,909
of course this is a very interesting

289
00:18:36,150 --> 00:18:34,160
period going to the flight you have a

290
00:18:37,029 --> 00:18:36,160
lot of things that you you still want to

291
00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:37,039
do

292
00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:39,600
but more and more things drop off

293
00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:42,080
your your procedures are delivered to

294
00:18:47,029 --> 00:18:44,880
the to the vehicle

295
00:18:49,110 --> 00:18:47,039
personal things are delivered so

296
00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:49,120
more and more there is

297
00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:51,200
just some kind of freedom

298
00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:52,799
and in the end

299
00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:54,960
there's nothing left and you just put on

300
00:18:59,830 --> 00:18:57,120
your spacesuit and go to the spacecraft

301
00:19:01,990 --> 00:18:59,840
so actually it's a

302
00:19:06,310 --> 00:19:02,000
more and more relaxing period towards

303
00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:08,789
what i will miss the most

304
00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:12,000
i always say a warm shower probably but

305
00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:14,080
in some cases i probably think that i

306
00:19:18,710 --> 00:19:15,520
miss

307
00:19:19,510 --> 00:19:18,720
weight the most gravity uh because

308
00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:19,520
uh

309
00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:21,440
in some cases it can be very annoying

310
00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:23,440
that everything floats away so i guess

311
00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:24,720
in some cases i would like to have a

312
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:25,760
switch

313
00:20:59,909 --> 00:19:50,630
um

314
00:20:59,919 --> 00:21:08,630
right

315
00:21:12,870 --> 00:21:11,510
dear friends please ask questions

316
00:21:26,789 --> 00:21:12,880
address your questions to other crew

317
00:21:31,909 --> 00:21:29,590
did you have a chance to become friends

318
00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:31,919
and also i with your fellow crew members

319
00:21:35,750 --> 00:21:33,280
and also i know that you have your

320
00:21:37,029 --> 00:21:35,760
children here how did you tell them

321
00:21:39,830 --> 00:21:37,039
where you're flying and what was their

322
00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:41,350
we have been training together for a

323
00:21:46,070 --> 00:21:45,360
long time practically two years

324
00:21:48,149 --> 00:21:46,080
so

325
00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:48,159
we have completed a full training

326
00:21:52,310 --> 00:21:50,880
schedule as a backup troop

327
00:21:54,390 --> 00:21:52,320
to the crew that has just come back

328
00:21:56,390 --> 00:21:54,400
sergey welcome mike

329
00:21:58,710 --> 00:21:56,400
and satoshi for calva

330
00:22:01,830 --> 00:21:58,720
so we are good friends we know each

331
00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:01,840
other very well we can take each other's

332
00:22:04,630 --> 00:22:02,880
place

333
00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:04,640
we know all our weaknesses and all our

334
00:22:13,110 --> 00:22:11,029
well developed crew and now for my

335
00:22:14,549 --> 00:22:13,120
children

336
00:22:16,230 --> 00:22:14,559
i flew for the first time they were four

337
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:16,240
and a half years old so they know what

338
00:22:19,830 --> 00:22:18,080
it's like to have their dad missing from

339
00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:19,840
home for a long time so they know what

340
00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:22,080
to expect and i'm sure they will be

341
00:22:58,310 --> 00:22:35,990
what will be your

342
00:23:01,510 --> 00:22:59,750
of our

343
00:23:03,909 --> 00:23:01,520
presence on board we will be expedition

344
00:23:06,950 --> 00:23:03,919
30 and the other half will be expedition

345
00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:06,960
31 for expedition 30 i'll have 35

346
00:23:12,310 --> 00:23:09,840
experiments for expedition 30 uh

347
00:23:13,830 --> 00:23:12,320
one i have 36 experiments so 71

348
00:23:16,549 --> 00:23:13,840
experiments total

349
00:23:18,870 --> 00:23:16,559
from different science disciplines

350
00:23:19,990 --> 00:23:18,880
and as was mentioned earlier it is

351
00:23:22,310 --> 00:23:20,000
possible that we will have two

352
00:23:24,950 --> 00:23:22,320
commercial vehicles arriving to the iss

353
00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:24,960
plus two progress vehicles and one atv

354
00:23:30,630 --> 00:23:27,600
vehicle on february 14th uh we are

355
00:23:33,990 --> 00:23:30,640
expected to perform an extra vehicular

356
00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:34,000
activity with mr shkaplerov so it's a

357
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:41,669
hello i'm larry um you will be doing a

358
00:23:46,470 --> 00:23:44,400
lot of experiments in space but also

359
00:24:02,789 --> 00:23:46,480
with some school kids in the netherlands

360
00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:07,110
foreign

361
00:24:11,990 --> 00:24:08,390
um well

362
00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:12,000
of course children are the future and um

363
00:24:17,510 --> 00:24:13,760
well for me personally and i think for

364
00:24:20,230 --> 00:24:17,520
for a lot of us uh we are inspired by by

365
00:24:22,390 --> 00:24:20,240
something by technology by science when

366
00:24:23,669 --> 00:24:22,400
we are children and i think it's very

367
00:24:26,230 --> 00:24:23,679
important

368
00:24:28,149 --> 00:24:26,240
to use space flight to show that science

369
00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:28,159
and technology are not something boring

370
00:24:33,190 --> 00:24:30,880
but very interesting and adventurous

371
00:24:35,990 --> 00:24:33,200
and i think uh specialized is a very

372
00:24:37,510 --> 00:24:36,000
good tool for that so therefore

373
00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:37,520
one of the most important things of the

374
00:24:41,990 --> 00:24:39,520
things we do in space is

375
00:24:45,190 --> 00:24:42,000
an educational program

376
00:24:47,430 --> 00:24:45,200
that way i'm sure we will inspire some

377
00:24:49,269 --> 00:24:47,440
children who will do great things in the

378
00:24:58,789 --> 00:24:49,279
future and maybe that is the biggest

379
00:24:58,799 --> 00:25:10,149
um

380
00:25:10,159 --> 00:25:26,870
foreign

381
00:25:31,510 --> 00:25:29,110
television channel my question for mr

382
00:25:32,950 --> 00:25:31,520
kononenko you mentioned that it is

383
00:25:34,630 --> 00:25:32,960
possible that you will perform an

384
00:25:37,510 --> 00:25:34,640
extravehicular activity what is the

385
00:25:39,510 --> 00:25:37,520
purpose of it and also i'm sorry but the

386
00:25:41,669 --> 00:25:39,520
question is for andre

387
00:25:43,909 --> 00:25:41,679
i read that

388
00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:43,919
they have prepared cheese for you

389
00:25:47,909 --> 00:25:46,080
on orbit is that true and are you

390
00:25:51,190 --> 00:25:47,919
planning to share this cheese with other

391
00:25:57,669 --> 00:25:53,909
it is not possible it is definite

392
00:25:59,830 --> 00:25:57,679
that i will be uh performing in eva

393
00:26:01,350 --> 00:25:59,840
i said possibly

394
00:26:02,789 --> 00:26:01,360
when i was referring to the date

395
00:26:06,149 --> 00:26:02,799
february 14th

396
00:26:11,750 --> 00:26:06,159
now the main objective uh for the uh

397
00:26:15,990 --> 00:26:13,269
it's a very

398
00:26:17,590 --> 00:26:16,000
labor intensive difficult

399
00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:17,600
task and another

400
00:26:24,789 --> 00:26:21,840
significant task is the mmod shield

401
00:26:26,149 --> 00:26:24,799
installation there are five of them and

402
00:26:27,750 --> 00:26:26,159
we want to install them on the small

403
00:26:29,750 --> 00:26:27,760
diameter of the service module to

404
00:26:31,830 --> 00:26:29,760
protect the module from various

405
00:26:33,269 --> 00:26:31,840
particles and possible meteorite

406
00:26:37,510 --> 00:26:33,279
collisions

407
00:26:41,110 --> 00:26:39,510
experiment so we will install an

408
00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:41,120
external platform

409
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,669
also our scientists want to see

410
00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:54,149
there is any life or bacteria or

411
00:26:58,149 --> 00:26:56,080
anything that can survive outside the

412
00:26:59,669 --> 00:26:58,159
station and also

413
00:27:02,310 --> 00:26:59,679
permitting

414
00:27:04,870 --> 00:27:02,320
that we will be

415
00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:04,880
installing the special devices that will

416
00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:07,840
uh secure the eva ladder and to assist

417
00:27:11,350 --> 00:27:09,279
us in future

418
00:27:12,710 --> 00:27:11,360
work outside of the station

419
00:27:14,710 --> 00:27:12,720
thank you very much

420
00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:14,720
any more questions

421
00:27:26,310 --> 00:27:18,830
no

422
00:27:30,310 --> 00:27:27,990
cheese very

423
00:27:31,990 --> 00:27:30,320
tasty and a lot of it

424
00:27:32,789 --> 00:27:32,000
and my colleagues love this cheese so i

425
00:27:37,350 --> 00:27:32,799
thought

426
00:27:42,630 --> 00:27:39,510
i could share this cheese with my crew

427
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:42,640
members on board and that's not easy

428
00:27:49,350 --> 00:27:47,510
suggests now the best bacteria the food

429
00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:49,360
items are very special that we have on

430
00:27:53,909 --> 00:27:51,600
board to ensure that there's no bacteria

431
00:27:55,990 --> 00:27:53,919
and things like this but one is food so

432
00:27:57,590 --> 00:27:56,000
i'm allowed to have a bonus food

433
00:28:04,149 --> 00:27:57,600
container

434
00:28:05,750 --> 00:28:04,159
here so of course i will have our cheese

435
00:28:09,830 --> 00:28:05,760
in it

436
00:28:13,750 --> 00:28:12,710
this is your third question and i think

437
00:28:16,149 --> 00:28:13,760
we'll

438
00:28:19,269 --> 00:28:16,159
call it a day for now rob navy is from

439
00:28:21,110 --> 00:28:19,279
nasa tv one more for don um don when you

440
00:28:22,710 --> 00:28:21,120
first launched on your first mission it

441
00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:22,720
was on the shuttle

442
00:28:27,110 --> 00:28:24,240
you were one of the first two americans

443
00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:27,120
to land in the soyuz in may of 2003 due

444
00:28:31,110 --> 00:28:29,200
to the columbia accident what are you

445
00:28:33,669 --> 00:28:31,120
looking forward to the most

446
00:28:35,510 --> 00:28:33,679
on wednesday night in launching on the

447
00:28:42,389 --> 00:28:35,520
soyuz and the two-day trip to the

448
00:28:42,399 --> 00:29:04,549
super

449
00:29:09,750 --> 00:29:07,190
the launch for the shuttle is known to

450
00:29:12,710 --> 00:29:09,760
be a relatively rough

451
00:29:15,669 --> 00:29:12,720
the launch for soyuz is smooth

452
00:29:18,710 --> 00:29:15,679
and the landings are just the reverse

453
00:29:24,230 --> 00:29:18,720
so on my first flight i did everything

454
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:50,310
started

455
00:29:50,320 --> 00:30:01,029
foreign

456
00:30:05,590 --> 00:30:03,750
hey mr kuipers this is dutch radio

457
00:30:08,389 --> 00:30:05,600
i know tomorrow you can smuggle

458
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:08,399
something in your suit do you already

459
00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:13,669
i guess that's a mistake we don't

460
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:31,110
up

461
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:39,110
foreign

462
00:30:43,190 --> 00:30:40,310
daily news

463
00:30:44,870 --> 00:30:43,200
my question is for allah we read that

464
00:30:45,669 --> 00:30:44,880
you are bringing a

465
00:30:48,070 --> 00:30:45,679
focus

466
00:30:51,510 --> 00:30:48,080
musical instrument from yakutia is this

467
00:30:53,990 --> 00:30:51,520
true and why do you need it and also my

468
00:30:56,310 --> 00:30:54,000
second question among the experiments

469
00:30:58,870 --> 00:30:56,320
in your list i see the experiment that

470
00:31:00,630 --> 00:30:58,880
is titled great beginnings

471
00:31:02,630 --> 00:31:00,640
what is this experiment about and how

472
00:31:04,630 --> 00:31:02,640
are you going to do it

473
00:31:07,110 --> 00:31:04,640
no

474
00:31:09,269 --> 00:31:07,120
it is true that i am instrumental i'm

475
00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:09,279
bringing a musical instrument and i'll

476
00:31:14,070 --> 00:31:11,760
actually attempt playing it because next

477
00:31:18,470 --> 00:31:16,470
it will be an anniversary since that um

478
00:31:20,389 --> 00:31:18,480
instrument was created i was

479
00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:20,399
trained to play this instrument and

480
00:31:23,350 --> 00:31:22,640
we'll see what i can squeeze out of it

481
00:31:25,590 --> 00:31:23,360
now

482
00:31:26,789 --> 00:31:25,600

483
00:31:27,909 --> 00:31:26,799

now

488
00:31:39,990 --> 00:31:37,519
the great beginnings experiment i

489
00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:40,000

490
00:31:44,389 --> 00:31:40,880
and

491
00:31:47,830 --> 00:31:44,399
to be honest with you i don't remember

492
00:31:50,470 --> 00:31:47,840
the title do you know any other names

493
00:31:52,310 --> 00:31:50,480
for this experiment uh what what does it

494
00:31:54,870 --> 00:31:52,320
mean well it says that you will be

495
00:31:57,269 --> 00:31:54,880
spreading the knowledge on space flight

496
00:32:00,310 --> 00:31:57,279
okay i'm not sure what this experiment

497
00:32:02,549 --> 00:32:00,320
is you know i'm sure when i see it in my

498
00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:02,559
timeline i'll know what it is i mean i'm

499
00:32:06,710 --> 00:32:04,399
sure great beginnings will come from the

500
00:32:09,430 --> 00:32:06,720
iss

501
00:32:11,909 --> 00:32:09,440
with the question from andre kuipers

502
00:32:13,590 --> 00:32:11,919
mr kuipers when do you anticipate you

503
00:32:15,430 --> 00:32:13,600
have your first bit of free time on the

504
00:32:27,350 --> 00:32:15,440
space station and what are you going to

505
00:32:32,870 --> 00:32:29,990
um well we have a lot of work to do

506
00:32:34,630 --> 00:32:32,880
straight away uh there's uh some

507
00:32:37,269 --> 00:32:34,640
important tasks to be done with the

508
00:32:40,149 --> 00:32:37,279
computers on board uh so that means that

509
00:32:41,590 --> 00:32:40,159
we we won't have much free time in uh

510
00:32:43,830 --> 00:32:41,600
in the first weeks but of course there's

511
00:32:44,710 --> 00:32:43,840
also christmas holidays so i guess there

512
00:32:47,669 --> 00:32:44,720
is

513
00:32:49,750 --> 00:32:47,679
some free time in those weeks and yeah

514
00:32:52,950 --> 00:32:49,760
i'm looking forward of course to the

515
00:32:54,310 --> 00:32:52,960
great view i mean we have now

516
00:32:57,509 --> 00:32:54,320
the cupola

517
00:32:59,830 --> 00:32:57,519
which is a great place uh to uh to enjoy

518
00:33:01,350 --> 00:32:59,840
our planet and uh i think that will be

519
00:33:02,950 --> 00:33:01,360
one of the first uh

520
00:33:41,590 --> 00:33:02,960
first places where i'll spend my free

521
00:33:46,870 --> 00:33:43,509
my question for the primary for the main

522
00:34:04,870 --> 00:33:46,880
crew what do you think is the purpose of

523
00:34:08,230 --> 00:34:06,630
saying that

524
00:34:10,310 --> 00:34:08,240
any profession

525
00:34:13,430 --> 00:34:10,320
can be subjected to the same question

526
00:34:15,990 --> 00:34:13,440
why do we need to have videographers or

527
00:34:18,069 --> 00:34:16,000
journalists or filmmakers

528
00:34:20,629 --> 00:34:18,079
cosmonautics is important space flight

529
00:34:22,550 --> 00:34:20,639
helps humanity develop

530
00:34:24,710 --> 00:34:22,560
this is the industry or the huma the

531
00:34:27,750 --> 00:34:24,720
type of human activity where we

532
00:34:29,430 --> 00:34:27,760
concentrate the

533
00:34:32,470 --> 00:34:29,440
most advanced technologies where we're

534
00:34:33,270 --> 00:34:32,480
trying to gain a new knowledge to launch

535
00:34:35,990 --> 00:34:33,280
new

536
00:34:40,470 --> 00:34:36,000
apparatuses or vehicles in space and so

537
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:42,389
over here

538
00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:45,760
um andre this is your last evening how

539
00:34:54,069 --> 00:34:47,520
are you going to spend the last evening

540
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:58,790
period

541
00:35:03,190 --> 00:35:00,550
yes the last evening and i spend it with

542
00:35:05,990 --> 00:35:03,200
you apparently yeah and

543
00:35:09,750 --> 00:35:08,150
but after this we have our famous

544
00:35:11,670 --> 00:35:09,760
traditional film

545
00:35:15,270 --> 00:35:11,680
the white sun of the desert which all

546
00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:15,280
the cosmonauts since 1967 or something

547
00:35:19,589 --> 00:35:17,760
are watching i've seen it several times

548
00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:19,599
but it's a very nice way to relax the

549
00:35:23,030 --> 00:35:20,880
last evening

550
00:35:25,349 --> 00:35:23,040
and luckily

551
00:35:27,510 --> 00:35:25,359
we have an evening start so we have a

552
00:35:29,270 --> 00:35:27,520
pretty normal day we can wake up in

553
00:35:31,190 --> 00:35:29,280
normal time

554
00:35:33,270 --> 00:35:31,200
and actually

555
00:35:35,190 --> 00:35:33,280
i'm pretty relaxed everything is done

556
00:35:37,829 --> 00:35:35,200
actually before this meeting uh the

557
00:35:39,270 --> 00:35:37,839
commission agreed that we are ready to

558
00:36:04,069 --> 00:35:39,280
go so

559
00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:22,150
um

560
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:30,550
foreign

561
00:36:35,030 --> 00:36:33,109
i would like to ask everybody to

562
00:36:36,630 --> 00:36:35,040
keep quiet here because it's getting

563
00:36:39,190 --> 00:36:36,640
noisy

564
00:36:42,950 --> 00:36:39,990
paper is

565
00:36:45,670 --> 00:36:42,960
question for andre once again

566
00:36:47,109 --> 00:36:45,680
a lot of people are thinking uh

567
00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:47,119
you're like a hero you're a superman

568
00:36:50,870 --> 00:36:48,800
because you belong to a select group of

569
00:36:53,349 --> 00:36:50,880
people which are going to space you do

570
00:36:55,910 --> 00:36:53,359
all kinds of medical and physical tests

571
00:36:57,430 --> 00:36:55,920
do you agree that you are kind of a

572
00:37:00,230 --> 00:36:57,440
superman sorry

573
00:37:55,349 --> 00:37:00,240
or just an ordinary guy which has as

574
00:37:59,190 --> 00:37:57,510
sorry i'm speaking dutch now which was

575
00:38:00,710 --> 00:37:59,200
not the idea

576
00:38:01,430 --> 00:38:00,720
uh

577
00:38:03,589 --> 00:38:01,440
so

578
00:38:05,430 --> 00:38:03,599
i'm just a normal being

584
00:38:18,790 --> 00:38:16,400

585
00:38:21,109 --> 00:38:18,800

last question

623
00:41:49,270 --> 00:41:45,910
scorpio constellation and three crew

624
00:41:53,430 --> 00:41:51,190
designed and i know that your call sign

625
00:41:55,109 --> 00:41:53,440
is andares which is

626
00:41:56,309 --> 00:41:55,119
which is the brightest star in the

627
00:41:58,630 --> 00:41:56,319
scorpio

628
00:42:01,349 --> 00:41:58,640
constellation

629
00:42:05,270 --> 00:42:01,359
did you coordinate it or was it the

630
00:42:07,030 --> 00:42:05,280
coincidence why did you select antares

631
00:42:08,870 --> 00:42:07,040
well you've pretty much told the whole

632
00:42:12,230 --> 00:42:08,880
story

633
00:42:14,309 --> 00:42:12,240
you know that cosmonauts like to

634
00:42:16,630 --> 00:42:14,319
choose

635
00:42:18,390 --> 00:42:16,640
call signs that are names of the stars

636
00:42:19,829 --> 00:42:18,400
or constellations except for yuri who

637
00:42:22,150 --> 00:42:19,839
picked a god

638
00:42:26,150 --> 00:42:22,160
which is not a star constellation and i

639
00:42:30,390 --> 00:42:27,430
i wanted to

640
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:30,400
pick a constellation that starts with

641
00:42:34,790 --> 00:42:32,560
the letter a because my kids names are

642
00:42:36,950 --> 00:42:34,800
andre and alisa

643
00:42:38,710 --> 00:42:36,960
so i picked this one and it's an orange

644
00:42:42,870 --> 00:42:38,720
star which is

645
00:42:44,790 --> 00:42:42,880
practically the national color of um

646
00:42:46,550 --> 00:42:44,800
and it's pronounced the same in both

647
00:42:50,230 --> 00:42:46,560
languages so i think it's a good call

648
00:42:52,390 --> 00:42:50,240
sign it will be easy for us to pronounce

649
00:42:55,190 --> 00:42:52,400
and i really didn't have any uh other

650
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:01,589
okay thank you very much dear friends

651
00:43:05,990 --> 00:43:04,069
give a round of applause to our crew

652
00:43:09,190 --> 00:43:06,000

653
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:16,870

654
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:51,670
