1940s that makes people aware 60 00:03:58,300 --> 00:03:50,000 human-caused fires and how important the 61 00:04:00,759 --> 00:03:58,310 natural environment is supported shown 62 00:04:06,849 --> 00:04:00,769 this decision because I've been busy 63 00:04:08,530 --> 00:04:06,859 with an amount of things since 1994 my 64 00:04:13,449 --> 00:04:08,540 personal items that I'm going to take 65 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:13,459 with me during our expedition we're 66 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:14,930 going to celebrate at least three 67 00:04:19,690 --> 00:04:17,170 birthdays 68 00:04:21,880 -->

presents with me and I 74 00:04:46,660 --> 00:04:44,630 hope to make a puzzle surprise hope 75 00:04:51,220 --> 00:04:46,670 don't find there's a presence useful 76 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:51,230 Internet flight and also hope that 77 00:04:57,460 --> 00:04:52,970 there's presence of mind will lift our 78 00:05:03,810 --> 00:04:57,470 spirits a bit but that says it's my 79 00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:03,820 first flight I know that my comrades 80 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:06,710 take small souvenirs with them and I'm 81 00:05:14,140 --> 00:05:12,320 taking a small kangaroo and we all know 82 00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:14,150 that kangaroos they hope they jump to 83 00:05:21,180 --> 00:05:17,510 leap forward so this is kind of a leap 84 00:05:32,149 --> 00:05:21,190 forward for me that was my association 85 00:05:39,859 --> 00:05:34,829 what is reka the dense really quite 86 00:05:42,119 --> 00:05:39,869 answer the other part of the question 87 00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:42,129 okay I'm going to say for thanks about 88 00:05:47,489 --> 00:05:45,039 the flight so despite the feathers 89 00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:47,499 flight has been cut down 90 00:05:55,859 --> 00:05:51,209 it used to be 160 days now it's down to 91 00:06:01,499 --> 00:05:55,869 120 our experiment program is very 92 00:06:04,739 --> 00:06:01,509 intensive planning an extravehicular 93 00:06:09,739 --> 00:06:04,749 activity a spacewalk in order to extend 94 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:09,749 further the Russian segment in order to 95 00:06:15,719 --> 00:06:12,610 for us to receive an upcoming Russian 96 00:06:20,369 --> 00:06:15,729 module and certain sometime in the 97 00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:20,379 future also an experiment with a small 98 00:06:30,299 --> 00:06:25,089 satellite predicting its launch and its 99 00:06:36,269 --> 00:06:30,309 descent and it's all connected with the 100 00:06:41,869 --> 00:06:36,279 problem of space debris they also have 101 00:06:46,139 --> 00:06:41,879 lots of vehicle traffic Russian vehicles 102 00:06:50,429 --> 00:06:46,149 the European ATV vehicle that we are 103 00:06:52,589 --> 00:06:50,439 going to send to the ground and the 104 00:06:54,929 --> 00:06:52,599 Japanese vehicle age to be also 105 00:07:01,459 --> 00:06:54,939 expecting to receive the receiver at the 106 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:05,779 so the commander responded for everybody 107 00:07:12,779 --> 00:07:07,930 Russian cosmos have a question for 108 00:07:15,089 --> 00:07:12,789 Sergei the sifrits flight and they're 109 00:07:17,939 --> 00:07:15,099 wondering what your expectations are and 110 00:07:19,739 --> 00:07:17,949 what experiments you're interested in 111 00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:19,749 and what experiments are just physics 112 00:07:25,559 --> 00:07:21,400 paramount did you prepare for this 113 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:25,569 flight and then one more question for 114 00:07:38,429 --> 00:07:32,050 the backup crew it's what you think 115 00:07:41,369 --> 00:07:38,439 about your upcoming back up bro as 116 00:07:55,189 --> 00:07:41,379 regards experiments actually by 117 00:08:01,019 --> 00:07:55,199 education I am a physical a physicist so 118 00:08:05,459 --> 00:08:01,029 my program is quite extensive and it is 119 00:08:09,029 --> 00:08:05,469 not only physics but also weather space 120 00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:09,039 industry and the space era is there a 121 00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:16,800 huge so I chose an experiment which is 122 00:08:29,570 --> 00:08:19,509 education related and it will be called 123 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:29,580 lessons from space is an experiment 124 00:08:39,899 --> 00:08:35,610 oriented on education for five to seven 125 00:08:44,189 --> 00:08:39,909 graders and they already have a scenario 126 00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:44,199 we have methodology and we also have 127 00:08:48,990 --> 00:08:46,000 people who'll be dealing with the 128 00:08:52,350 --> 00:08:49,000 ecology Joe and Gennady they have lots 129 00:08:56,009 --> 00:08:52,360 of psychological experiment and I'm 130 00:08:59,490 --> 00:08:56,019 trying to be up to par so our lessons 131 00:09:01,590 --> 00:08:59,500 will have that ecological statement as 132 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:01,600 well 133 00:09:13,230 --> 00:09:05,170 because it and this lessons will be 134 00:09:15,569 --> 00:09:13,240 aimed at showing how our planet how 135 00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:15,579 interesting it is and that it should be 136 00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:18,100 well protected of showing and 137 00:09:25,439 --> 00:09:22,720 demonstrating all this to the kids and 138 00:09:28,499 --> 00:09:25,449 actually I did teach at school and I 139 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:28,509 tried this methodology and I can provide 140 00:09:48,090 --> 00:09:43,949 what is cashback it's the highest 141 00:09:52,249 --> 00:09:48,100 mountain and the Caucasus Mountains and 142 00:09:55,710 --> 00:09:52,259 it's altitude its it seems unattainable 143 00:10:01,400 --> 00:09:55,720 so this is something which makes sense 144 00:10:05,189 --> 00:10:01,410 when you think about space flights I 145 00:10:13,139 --> 00:10:05,199 have a question for Gennady how did the 146 00:10:15,269 --> 00:10:13,149 exams go what does it look like to be in 147 00:10:17,009 --> 00:10:15,279 space because it's really hard even 148 00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:17,019 though we are with colleagues you are 149 00:10:21,449 --> 00:10:19,360 still in there closed up environment and 150 00:10:26,150 --> 00:10:21,459 how difficult this is from the 151 00:10:31,710 --> 00:10:26,160 psychological standpoint exams went 152 00:10:39,660 --> 00:10:31,720 further both the backup and the primary 153 00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:39,670 passed exams and what is the most 154 00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:41,889 difficult thing when up in space it's 155 00:10:46,530 --> 00:10:44,800 probably not the technological part of 156 00:10:49,230 --> 00:10:46,540 it it's probably psychological part so 157 00:10:52,079 --> 00:10:49,240 it's very important to have a good crew 158 00:10:56,759 --> 00:10:52,089 and lots of things depend on the Conde 159 00:11:00,900 --> 00:10:56,769 commander and fortunately we have a very 160 00:11:04,050 --> 00:11:00,910 good international crew Russians and 161 00:11:07,820 --> 00:11:04,060 Americans were also used to have people 162 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:07,830 from other partners such as 163 00:11:14,250 --> 00:11:12,850 Canadian we had Europeans so this is 164 00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:14,260 very important and it's also very 165 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:16,480 important to work around all the issues 166 00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:26,290 and on the promise which may occur to 167 00:11:31,770 --> 00:11:28,690 make first make sure that no 168 00:11:37,410 --> 00:11:31,780 psychological things take a negative 169 00:11:39,570 --> 00:11:37,420 effect on our job also I have a question 170 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:39,580 I want to think about the transfer from 171 00:11:43,170 --> 00:11:41,290 a free member croucher six-member crew 172 00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:43,180 well it's becoming more and more 173 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:46,510 interesting and it's a very practical 174 00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:48,490 sure because the station is so big that 175 00:11:54,630 --> 00:11:51,510 you really need six crew members to 176 00:11:57,930 --> 00:11:54,640 support and to maintain the station and 177 00:12:01,500 --> 00:11:57,940 they do get a three crew crew friend of 178 00:12:04,140 --> 00:12:01,510 the crew when one of the crews depart 179 00:12:11,340 --> 00:12:04,150 and we have only three members left on 180 00:12:14,010 --> 00:12:11,350 board the station I wanted to add a few 181 00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:14,020 words but I think that Gennady told 182 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:17,910 about everything as regards difficulties 183 00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:21,250 during flight yes there are maybe 184 00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:25,600 certain psychological problems but well 185 00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:27,910 know that all people here present here 186 00:12:34,380 --> 00:12:30,880 are motivated to make the space fighter 187 00:12:38,010 --> 00:12:34,390 success and this determines a lot of 188 00:12:53,870 --> 00:12:38,020 facts and also successful also sexual 189 00:12:57,900 --> 00:12:55,980 like most of us they had the opportunity 190 00:13:00,660 --> 00:12:57,910 to flying the shuttle the missions are 191 00:13:02,579 --> 00:13:00,670 used to weeks and our time dock to the 192 00:13:05,670 --> 00:13:02,589 station was very short maybe seven days 193 00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:05,680 so I think we all look forward returning 194 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:07,510 instead of just visiting the space 195 00:13:12,180 --> 00:13:09,490 station actually having a time to live 196 00:13:14,790 --> 00:13:12,190 and work there we were there last time 197 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:14,800 we needed help where to find things it 198 00:13:19,199 --> 00:13:16,570 was just like when you go to visit 199 00:13:20,460 --> 00:13:19,209 somebody so now will be our home looking 200 00:13:22,350 --> 00:13:20,470 forward to spending a lot of time up 201 00:13:25,170 --> 00:13:22,360 there participating in all these 202 00:13:27,389 --> 00:13:25,180 experiments we've got a lot going on it 203 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:27,399 could be very historic with space legs 204 00:13:31,410 --> 00:13:29,170 going up over there so I think we're 205 00:13:35,730 --> 00:13:31,420 gonna see you live great things looking 206 00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:35,740 for that those longer experience you 207 00:13:40,139 --> 00:13:37,660 know my kids will all be in the United 208 00:13:42,569 --> 00:13:40,149 States when we have our look are 209 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:42,579 launching Baikonur but they had the 210 00:13:47,250 --> 00:13:44,170 opportunity to see me launch in Florida 211 00:13:49,860 --> 00:13:47,260 and so we think it was more of a shock 212 00:13:51,420 --> 00:13:49,870 that first time around but one thing I 213 00:13:54,030 --> 00:13:51,430 like to thank that my whole family 214 00:13:57,900 --> 00:13:54,040 because we get this opportunity to go in 215 00:14:00,210 --> 00:13:57,910 this space and for us it seems we train 216 00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:00,220 so much more that we're ready to go but 217 00:14:04,230 --> 00:14:01,690 really when the families it's much more 218 00:14:06,090 --> 00:14:04,240 stressful and they have to watch us do 219 00:14:08,850 --> 00:14:06,100 this launch so it's one of things that 220 00:14:16,050 --> 00:14:08,860 we realizing how stressful and how much 221 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:16,060 they're working for Thanks well as for 222 00:14:25,439 --> 00:14:23,050 that Nadia and I dreamed to fly together 223 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:25,449 yes Gennady is very experienced crew 224 00:14:30,180 --> 00:14:27,610 members so he has probably I did dream 225 00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:30,190 about this and I think this would be the 226 00:14:36,689 --> 00:14:33,910 same thing for all of our crew we're 227 00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:36,699 already grateful for the fact that we 228 00:14:43,069 --> 00:14:38,529 had a chance to train together during 229 00:14:47,309 --> 00:14:43,079 our training and swims and when Gennady 230 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:47,319 do things we all try to follow and his 231 00:15:01,090 --> 00:14:57,190 when is your launch it's in October 232 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:01,100 October 15 so will help everything go as 233 00:15:14,650 --> 00:15:11,570 well because I flew on sts-128 in 234 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:14,660 September of 2009 and I was the 235 00:15:20,170 --> 00:15:15,770 commander of the International Space 236 00:15:26,860 --> 00:15:20,180 Station I visited Aeronautics years they 237 00:15:31,860 --> 00:15:26,870 have a question to us astronauts to what 238 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:31,870 to think about the Russian Soyuz vehicle 239 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:35,930 what do you make of it it's a quite an 240 00:15:41,770 --> 00:15:38,810 honor to be part of this program talking 241 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:41,780 about or how lucky you are to be able to 242 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:44,930 come out here train with cosmonauts our 243 00:15:49,780 --> 00:15:47,210 training team and to learn a new 244 00:15:53,170 --> 00:15:49,790 spacecraft and the Soyuz it has a great 245 00:15:54,940 --> 00:15:53,180 history of being reliable I'm looking 246 00:15:58,990 --> 00:15:54,950 forward of course working with my 247 00:16:01,000 --> 00:15:59,000 crewmates still learning a lot of course 248 00:16:02,170 --> 00:16:01,010 the the landing will be a little bit 249 00:16:04,060 --> 00:16:02,180 different than we're used to on the 250 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:04,070 shuttle but I think we're mentally 251 00:16:12,670 --> 00:16:09,650 prepared for that for me of course the 252 00:16:14,770 --> 00:16:12,680 Soyuz has always been our our life book 253 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:14,780 if you will on space station so we've 254 00:16:18,370 --> 00:16:16,610 always had full confidence and faith in 255 00:16:21,220 --> 00:16:18,380 the the outstanding partner that 256 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:24,080 when I flew on the Space Shuttle before 257 00:16:30,380 --> 00:16:26,730 I flew in the front right see it's the 258 00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:30,390 exact same seat I have in the soil the 259 00:16:36,170 --> 00:16:32,310 way duties are a little bit different on 260 00:16:38,540 --> 00:16:36,180 this flight it's great to see well link 261 00:16:41,210 --> 00:16:38,550 you need operate the the story was in 262 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:41,220 such a professional fashion I would say 263 00:16:45,020 --> 00:16:43,170 you know the way we fill in the US 264 00:16:47,150 --> 00:16:45,030 without the space shuttle of course 265 00:16:49,370 --> 00:16:47,160 there would be no space station because 266 00:16:51,710 --> 00:16:49,380 of the very important role I play in 267 00:16:53,180 --> 00:16:51,720 construction but of course the same 268 00:16:56,450 --> 00:16:53,190 thing is true about the Soyuz because 269 00:16:58,250 --> 00:16:56,460 the critical place in the crews that let 270 00:17:00,430 --> 00:16:58,260 me can stay aboard and being transported 271 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:00,440 back and forth this is a very good 272 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:03,210 international friendly arrangement to 273 00:17:17,420 --> 00:17:05,250 operate this great international space 274 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:17,430 mission there was something about the 275 00:17:31,460 --> 00:17:30,090 new vehicle to launch a new capsule and 276 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:31,470 if everything goes well it will be 277 00:17:38,270 --> 00:17:35,490 docking to the station we mentioned 278 00:17:41,630 --> 00:17:38,280 SpaceX today and this is already being 279 00:17:50,540 --> 00:17:41,640 planned it's it's currently on Thank You 280 00:17:54,780 --> 00:17:53,850 our questions our doctor asked one of 281 00:18:04,950 --> 00:17:54,790 mine 282 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:04,960 Gennady and I have one more question for 283 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:07,810 our us colleagues what do you think 284 00:18:14,610 --> 00:18:11,170 about the differences and the 285 00:18:18,570 --> 00:18:14,620 similarities between the training 286 00:18:22,770 --> 00:18:18,580 systems in Russia and the US how does it 287 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:22,780 differ from yours what did you say I 288 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:25,570 didn't quite hear was it the Sputnik 289 00:18:32,730 --> 00:18:29,050 experiment yes it's a very small 290 00:18:36,540 --> 00:18:32,740 experiment and we're going to introduce 291 00:18:38,730 --> 00:18:36,550 a new satellite into orbit and they're 292 00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:38,740 going to monitor it from the ground so 293 00:18:51,230 --> 00:18:45,760 it's as simple as that there is other 294 00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:54,570 and also going to conduct experiments 295 00:19:01,170 --> 00:18:58,960 with the perspective and future 296 00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:01,180 technologies such as the kulonovskiy 297 00:19:10,050 --> 00:19:06,640 kristall experiment which is a helpful 298 00:19:18,180 --> 00:19:10,060 in the creating a plasma engine for the 299 00:19:24,270 --> 00:19:18,190 future and in details you can ask 300 00:19:27,770 --> 00:19:24,280 further also have a question for us 301 00:19:34,130 --> 00:19:30,980 to be training here could read history 302 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:34,140 to be part of this program and I'm very 303 00:19:39,230 --> 00:19:36,570 very impressed with the instructors that 304 00:19:42,890 --> 00:19:39,240 are here are just wonderful their 305 00:19:44,810 --> 00:19:42,900 expertise is incredible and what's been 306 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:44,820 really nice is that you know coming from 307 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:46,890 the United States of course the cultures 308 00:19:51,110 --> 00:19:48,570 are different the language is difficult 309 00:19:53,870 --> 00:19:51,120 and everyone here is very very patient 310 00:19:55,790 --> 00:19:53,880 with us and making sure that we're going 311 00:19:58,760 --> 00:19:55,800 to be ready for our flight and what's 312 00:20:00,560 --> 00:19:58,770 great is that you know I can call a lot 313 00:20:02,180 --> 00:20:00,570 of the people that work here not only 314 00:20:04,940 --> 00:20:02,190 colleagues but good friends which is 315 00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:04,950 honor to be out here and it's the 316 00:20:09,770 --> 00:20:07,200 difference with the training between the 317 00:20:11,150 --> 00:20:09,780 United States and being here is when 318 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:11,160 you're at home and have other duties 319 00:20:16,460 --> 00:20:13,050 that pull you away from the training and 320 00:20:25,220 --> 00:20:16,470 here Russia our sole focus is the 321 00:20:28,190 --> 00:20:25,230 training I agree I just like to add also 322 00:20:31,790 --> 00:20:28,200 that spacecraft are just incredibly 323 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:31,800 complicated machines and as a crew 324 00:20:35,450 --> 00:20:33,930 asking questions we we never reached the 325 00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:35,460 bottom of their depth of knowledge they 326 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:38,880 always know the answers and just in the 327 00:20:44,570 --> 00:20:42,810 USA versus here like Joe said here we we 328 00:20:47,030 --> 00:20:44,580 really concentrate and it's made a bit 329 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:47,040 more difficult of course because most of 330 00:20:50,660 --> 00:20:48,210 this presented in the Russian language 331 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:50,670 but certainly a privilege and an honor 332 00:21:03,130 --> 00:20:55,170 to be here and spend time at G CTC and 333 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:07,570 a question to the primary crew what 334 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:09,050 scent of experiments are of most 335 00:21:16,540 --> 00:21:14,570 interest here I'd say there's a 336 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:16,550 ecological experiments because I also 337 00:21:25,780 --> 00:21:20,930 deal with ecology we've have a number of 338 00:21:27,610 --> 00:21:25,790 experiments and I've been modified not 339 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:27,620 simply monitoring the Earth's surface 340 00:21:37,870 --> 00:21:32,690 but also monitoring spectra areas also 341 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:37,880 medical experiments to monitor what's 342 00:21:49,690 --> 00:21:40,010 going on with my body I have a changes 343 00:21:51,100 --> 00:21:49,700 in space experiments with future space 344 00:22:00,190 --> 00:21:51,110 technologies that I have mentioned 345 00:22:04,210 --> 00:22:00,200 already everyone would say that I'm 346 00:22:10,090 --> 00:22:04,220 interested in those activities which 347 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:10,100 require creative approach well we all 348 00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:12,890 know that all our activities on board 349 00:22:19,630 --> 00:22:17,120 are highly structured experiment starts 350 00:22:26,290 --> 00:22:19,640 experiment ends or the experiment is 351 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:26,300 going on I'm interested in such types of 352 00:22:34,780 --> 00:22:29,690 work right I can utilize my creative 353 00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:34,790 abilities I'm also interested in 354 00:22:49,470 --> 00:22:45,110 watching the Earth from space one more 355 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:49,480 area of our activity but next plane 356 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:53,810 piloted flights do influence views that 357 00:23:00,820 --> 00:22:57,290 people have on space and on human space 358 00:23:02,890 --> 00:23:00,830 flights on the ground and I'm interested 359 00:23:05,650 --> 00:23:02,900 in you may call them educational 360 00:23:10,140 --> 00:23:05,660 projects which are supported by us 361 00:23:13,380 --> 00:23:10,150 cosmos as I said lessons from space 362 00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:13,390 and learning about the station systems 363 00:23:26,670 --> 00:23:18,370 and the ground ecological Earth's 364 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:26,680 ecological systems looking at all parts 365 00:23:31,050 --> 00:23:28,810 of the body to see how the human body 366 00:23:33,150 --> 00:23:31,060 behaves in space and how we can do 367 00:23:34,710 --> 00:23:33,160 things for longer periods of time even 368 00:23:36,450 --> 00:23:34,720 though we've been going to space for 369 00:23:38,580 --> 00:23:36,460 over 50 years there's still a lot we 370 00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:38,590 don't know about how the human body 371 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:41,200 reacts in space and if we do want to get 372 00:23:46,140 --> 00:23:43,570 beyond the space station and go further 373 00:23:47,460 --> 00:23:46,150 out there are still things that we need 374 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:47,470 to learn so it's great to be part of 375 00:24:17,970 --> 00:23:48,850 that and knowing that we're contributing 376 00:24:31,060 --> 00:24:20,950 what I'm attracted by first of all it's 377 00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:31,070 my back station is much bigger have new 378 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:34,370 Russian modules to new russians modules 379 00:24:40,390 --> 00:24:38,290 who have new modules on the west segment 380 00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:40,400 take a look at the new commercial 381 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:43,130 vehicle I'm also interested in the 382 00:24:53,950 --> 00:24:46,250 scientific area and experiments as I 383 00:24:57,010 --> 00:24:53,960 already said the most attractive part I 384 00:24:59,290 --> 00:24:57,020 think it's no secret that actually the 385 00:25:11,550 --> 00:24:59,300 flight to the stage and if I bag from a 386 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:14,530 colleagues mentioned once that you could 387 00:25:27,270 --> 00:25:19,010 choose a menu say what I want for 388 00:25:35,170 --> 00:25:27,280 breakfast you are going to be a guest at 389 00:25:38,290 --> 00:25:35,180 our program when you come back we have a 390 00:25:41,410 --> 00:25:38,300 really wide and there are a few items 391 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:41,420 that you can get at the grocery store at 392 00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:45,410 an ordinal Gosha store so there are 393 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:48,480 items that I do love 394 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:51,450 I love ice cream but ice cream in space 395 00:25:59,030 --> 00:25:56,730 is not quite the ice cream wait no not 396 00:26:00,950 --> 00:25:59,040 really because we have two and a half 397 00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:00,960 hours of physical activities planned for 398 00:26:18,860 --> 00:26:14,900 don't experiment experience given the 399 00:26:23,060 --> 00:26:18,870 conditions on our planet on earth so I 400 00:26:26,510 --> 00:26:23,070 have to say what I like here on the 401 00:26:30,770 --> 00:26:26,520 ground and I do like traditional Russian 402 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:30,780 meals I like seafood I like Japanese 403 00:26:44,620 --> 00:26:35,250 food I like seafood I think it's so both 404 00:26:51,940 --> 00:26:44,630 healthy and delicious also like berries 405 00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:51,950 forest berries once the chicken gets in 406 00:26:55,700 --> 00:26:53,520 glass jars 407 00:26:59,330 --> 00:26:55,710 unfortunately country glass shares with 408 00:27:01,730 --> 00:26:59,340 you to the station but I have some 409 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:01,740 containers with me and I also like 410 00:27:13,850 --> 00:27:05,010 narrow gems and I do hope that my tastes 411 00:27:15,770 --> 00:27:13,860 won't change when I'm and Joe probably 412 00:27:27,210 --> 00:27:15,780 have never had certain of those berries 413 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:30,720 these containers that are sent up and 414 00:27:35,350 --> 00:27:33,290 these guys have really tempted me would 415 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:35,360 be Russian food so I've asked for a 416 00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:38,450 little bit of extra food Russian food so 417 00:27:50,410 --> 00:27:48,110 that I don't you take all there's what 418 00:27:53,380 --> 00:27:50,420 crewmembers I choose for themselves a 419 00:27:56,470 --> 00:27:53,390 separate meals and I'd like to say that 420 00:27:58,810 --> 00:27:56,480 it's possible to modify the standard 421 00:28:01,960 --> 00:27:58,820 menu the name that you already have you 422 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:01,970 can choose somewhat more of this and 423 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:06,050 somewhat less of that and when I flew 424 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:09,290 had a menu that's repeated every fifth 425 00:28:17,830 --> 00:28:13,970 day and then every seventh day and then 426 00:28:21,340 --> 00:28:17,840 I said items that repeat probably each 427 00:28:23,650 --> 00:28:21,350 day or nearly each day and now since we 428 00:28:26,020 --> 00:28:23,660 have this wide international cooperation 429 00:28:30,430 --> 00:28:26,030 program we can choose earth nails from 430 00:28:32,890 --> 00:28:30,440 the menus of our national partners when 431 00:28:35,530 --> 00:28:32,900 I flew we had certain French meals 432 00:28:38,530 --> 00:28:35,540 because we flew the Frenchman and now 433 00:28:41,350 --> 00:28:38,540 the geography of astronauts that take 434 00:28:44,620 --> 00:28:41,360 part in our flights is so wide that we 435 00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:44,630 have meals and they do not repeat 436 00:28:50,770 --> 00:28:48,070 themselves until the 17th the 20th day 437 00:28:58,180 --> 00:28:50,780 so now the official part taken pictures 438 00:29:09,970 --> 00:28:58,190 come on do without and please turn your 439 00:29:09,980 --> 00:29:33,150 thank you very much 440 00:29:44,279 --> 00:29:38,440 what is it birthday in January now 441 00:29:49,570 --> 00:29:44,289 the 12th there's not a mere coincidence 442 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:49,580 but using the old from Goren calendar it 443 00:30:08,770 --> 00:29:57,650 was December I need a pen the pen is 444 00:30:11,020 --> 00:30:08,780 here I'm ready so where I 445 00:32:01,070 --> 00:30:11,030 supposed
