yes there are different highlights high

16
00:01:17,499 --> 00:01:13,819
points I think the biggest one still has

17
00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:17,509
to come but so far there have been

18
00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:20,030
several one moment that the state with

19
00:01:26,350 --> 00:01:23,270
me is that up tonight when Ike the

20
00:01:29,169 --> 00:01:26,360
copula where I can look outside and i

21
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:29,179
went in there without any cameras so

22
00:01:35,469 --> 00:01:32,330
just by myself and then I was flying

23
00:01:38,499 --> 00:01:35,479
over Europe at night over Italy but I

24
00:01:41,919 --> 00:01:38,509
could still see the Netherlands and down

25
00:01:44,770 --> 00:01:41,929
below I could even see Cairo and so

26
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:44,780
there was a Norway Morocco all of Europe

27
00:01:53,109 --> 00:01:48,110
I could see all cities all the lights it

28
00:01:55,029 --> 00:01:53,119
was a beautiful moment epic hail fell

29
00:01:57,759 --> 00:01:55,039
more in front and you also took a lot of

30
00:02:00,160 --> 00:01:57,769
beautiful pictures yesterday we saw one

31
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:00,170
on Twitter of a Venus what is the most

32
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:01,610
beautiful picture or the most special

33
00:02:07,059 --> 00:02:05,450
picture you've taken so far jared is

34
00:02:08,619 --> 00:02:07,069
locked oh well that's kind of difficult

35
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:08,629
to say because there's so many beautiful

36
00:02:15,490 --> 00:02:10,250
things to see down on earth but also

37
00:02:20,050 --> 00:02:15,500
stars what is also very special theory

38
00:02:22,270 --> 00:02:20,060
is a glow of the atmosphere and that is

39
00:02:25,899 --> 00:02:22,280
probably to me the northern light or the

40
00:02:30,610 --> 00:02:25,909
sudden light is very special to me son

41
00:02:33,580 --> 00:02:30,620
twice at southern lighten so that's a

42
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:33,590
very special and it's almost like a

43
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:39,650
fairy tale now is it if you compare the

44
00:02:45,580 --> 00:02:41,690
human ah well you know it's very special

45
00:02:48,910 --> 00:02:45,590
that you are in space now which vacation

46
00:02:52,670 --> 00:02:48,920
can can top this after this

47
00:02:55,970 --> 00:02:52,680
goddess well uh earth is just beautiful

48
00:02:58,940 --> 00:02:55,980
planet Earth and actually all the things

49
00:03:02,240 --> 00:02:58,950
you see down below you really feel like

50
00:03:04,729 --> 00:03:02,250
going there the most beautiful spot on

51
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:04,739
the earth when you look at it from space

52
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:06,780
is the Bahamas or the beautiful

53
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:09,450
turquoise water in a plan on going there

54
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:12,650
after my space trip so I want to go

55
00:03:18,979 --> 00:03:16,530
diving their scuba diving and also the

56
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:18,989
area around the Sahara Australia these

57
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:22,049
are such beautiful space places and then

58
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:24,690
you really think to yourself I really

59
00:03:32,660 --> 00:03:30,930
have to go visit hope you do for you and

60
00:03:34,250 --> 00:03:32,670
nautical he'll have evaded what I also

61
00:03:35,839 --> 00:03:34,260
would like to know what is the first

62
00:03:39,649 --> 00:03:35,849
thing you're going to drink when you're

63
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:39,659
back on earth sure look that's a nice

64
00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:43,290
question food wise uh it's a

65
00:03:49,309 --> 00:03:45,599
freeze-dried so you just have to add a

66
00:03:53,689 --> 00:03:49,319
little water these are green beans with

67
00:03:57,250 --> 00:03:53,699
mushrooms and beverages is saw in these

68
00:04:00,890 --> 00:03:57,260
pouches it's nice you can play with them

69
00:04:04,189 --> 00:04:00,900
I'll give you a brief demonstration how

70
00:04:05,809 --> 00:04:04,199
it looks like so you have to be careful

71
00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:05,819
of course because everything floats

72
00:04:12,649 --> 00:04:10,049
around and that's something I will be

73
00:04:15,229 --> 00:04:12,659
missing but a regular meals are not from

74
00:04:17,330 --> 00:04:15,239
a pouch will also be nice thing to have

75
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:17,340
back so i think i'm just going to have

76
00:04:25,339 --> 00:04:21,449
an end in diverse to when i get back on

77
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:25,349
earth maybe so just nice at home regular

78
00:04:32,779 --> 00:04:27,710
a home cooked food cooked by your wife

79
00:04:35,330 --> 00:04:32,789
it isn't like yes you did it enjoy it we

80
00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:35,340
also understand entree that you are a

81
00:04:40,010 --> 00:04:37,409
big fan of the dutch national soccer

82
00:04:43,969 --> 00:04:40,020
team and i will you be able to see the

83
00:04:47,450 --> 00:04:43,979
dutch soccer games from space I'm not

84
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:47,460
directly but not right now but they're

85
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:49,889
working on its heart there are engineers

86
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:53,010
that are working on it that we on

87
00:04:58,450 --> 00:04:55,650
setting this up and so we can see all

88
00:05:01,129 --> 00:04:58,460
kind of shows from down below and

89
00:05:02,719 --> 00:05:01,139
they're also working on allowing me to

90
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:02,729
watch the games from a

91
00:05:08,420 --> 00:05:05,370
here but i'm looking i'm definitely

92
00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:08,430
looking forward to it I do have a soccer

93
00:05:15,579 --> 00:05:11,969
ball here on board so maybe that'll have

94
00:05:20,209 --> 00:05:15,589
to do okay and all right the new and and

95
00:05:22,610 --> 00:05:20,219
so do you have a orange shirt or outfit

96
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:22,620
with you maybe an orange cap for the

97
00:05:30,860 --> 00:05:25,050
dutch national soccer team yes i do have

98
00:05:33,499 --> 00:05:30,870
orange shirts with me with a logo and i

99
00:05:37,339 --> 00:05:33,509
have worn those so i do have the

100
00:05:39,529 --> 00:05:37,349
necessary outfit up here now do you on

101
00:05:41,149 --> 00:05:39,539
board he'll feel very applicable you're

102
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:41,159
doing a lot of scientific research on

103
00:05:50,379 --> 00:05:45,089
board and what can we notice or

104
00:05:55,579 --> 00:05:53,510
scientific research up here in space is

105
00:05:59,059 --> 00:05:55,589
of course that it's the variety of

106
00:06:04,299 --> 00:05:59,069
things there are engineers down on earth

107
00:06:06,559 --> 00:06:04,309
who work on these projects and they

108
00:06:08,899 --> 00:06:06,569
appear we can do it without the

109
00:06:12,290 --> 00:06:08,909
influence of gravity without being

110
00:06:13,939 --> 00:06:12,300
impacted by that so that is the big

111
00:06:17,089 --> 00:06:13,949
advantage that we have here so the

112
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:17,099
things that our research here can be for

113
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:19,610
example the behavior of flames

114
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:27,790
physiological research the behavior of

115
00:06:35,869 --> 00:06:31,110
fluids or liquids and all these things

116
00:06:38,449 --> 00:06:35,879
can be applied to issues on earth so

117
00:06:42,739 --> 00:06:38,459
it's really applied science applied

118
00:06:46,010 --> 00:06:42,749
research so its first of all it's

119
00:06:51,589 --> 00:06:46,020
applied to space and then it's brought

120
00:06:56,029 --> 00:06:51,599
back to earth I'm a hopeful oppa so has

121
00:06:59,540 --> 00:06:56,039
everything gone well correlation slope I

122
00:07:01,699 --> 00:06:59,550
can hear only gone well I assume that

123
00:07:04,459 --> 00:07:01,709
you're referring to the mission well I

124
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:04,469
had a great time here I'm still going to

125
00:07:11,540 --> 00:07:05,610
be here for another three and a half

126
00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:11,550
weeks so I've been very busy today we've

127
00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:16,409
been working on research of liquids

128
00:07:23,799 --> 00:07:19,409
and another research we've been working

129
00:07:26,809 --> 00:07:23,809
on today's the eye socket so

130
00:07:28,669 --> 00:07:26,819
everything's come well so far we haven't

131
00:07:34,429 --> 00:07:28,679
experienced or encountered any major

132
00:07:37,939 --> 00:07:34,439
problems so both work wise and spare

133
00:07:40,369 --> 00:07:37,949
time wise i'm very satisfied and finally

134
00:07:42,799 --> 00:07:40,379
andre you still have a message from

135
00:07:47,029 --> 00:07:42,809
space for our heart of the netherlands

136
00:07:50,629 --> 00:07:47,039
television program viewers i hope

137
00:07:54,679 --> 00:07:50,639
everybody has a enjoyed the fact that i

138
00:07:57,649 --> 00:07:54,689
had the opportunity to take pictures for

139
00:08:01,819 --> 00:07:57,659
everybody for that down below and also

140
00:08:06,379 --> 00:08:01,829
shoot video images and that i was able

141
00:08:08,409 --> 00:08:06,389
to share those with you i hope that it

142
00:08:11,719 --> 00:08:08,419
is important to be able to show you

143
00:08:14,179 --> 00:08:11,729
what's been going on here and also that

144
00:08:16,339 --> 00:08:14,189
Earth is very vulnerable and that I was

145
00:08:22,699 --> 00:08:16,349
also able to show the work we are doing

146
00:08:25,730 --> 00:08:22,709
up here space journey seemed still seems

147
00:08:28,549 --> 00:08:25,740
to be something special but actually

148
00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:28,559
we're working here every day and all

149
00:08:32,209 --> 00:08:29,759
these satellites that we have up here

150
00:08:35,420 --> 00:08:32,219
for example are very useful for

151
00:08:39,079 --> 00:08:35,430
meteorology down here so space flight

152
00:08:42,469 --> 00:08:39,089
has been become part of our regular life

153
00:08:45,139 --> 00:08:42,479
and I hope your viewers have been able

154
00:08:47,449 --> 00:08:45,149
to enjoy that okay thank you very much

155
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:47,459

00:09:54,170 --> 00:09:48,180
Discovery Network benelux with some

166
00:09:56,210 --> 00:09:54,180
questions for you Andre hello I'm ready

167
00:09:58,730 --> 00:09:56,220
hello Andre this is esther Julie for

168
00:10:01,250 --> 00:09:58,740
Discovery Network thank you very much

169
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:01,260
for your time mahanama dear i will start

170
00:10:06,890 --> 00:10:03,210
with the first question which is in how

171
00:10:08,810 --> 00:10:06,900
far has the possibility for mankind to

172
00:10:13,130 --> 00:10:08,820
fly has and how far has he taught us

173
00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:13,140
things about universe skillman things

174
00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:15,000
that I think there's two different

175
00:10:23,510 --> 00:10:19,110
things on which have something in common

176
00:10:27,620 --> 00:10:23,520
on one side curiosity of mankind to go

177
00:10:29,710 --> 00:10:27,630
to places that we are actually not made

178
00:10:32,090 --> 00:10:29,720
for so for example used to do that for

179
00:10:38,540 --> 00:10:32,100
by going to the desert and at one point

180
00:10:40,750 --> 00:10:38,550
that we ventured out into space and of

181
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:40,760
course the technical developments in the

182
00:10:48,590 --> 00:10:44,970
space flight are very important to get a

183
00:10:54,650 --> 00:10:48,600
hit everything is stopped but I think

184
00:10:56,060 --> 00:10:54,660
the first steps to fly in the air well

185
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:56,070
they don't have that much to do anymore

186
00:11:03,490 --> 00:10:58,410
with what we're doing now in a space but

187
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:06,440
thank you velvet fastening to very much

188
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:08,970
what fascinates you most about a space

189
00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:14,610
travel I'm still digging that several

190
00:11:22,270 --> 00:11:18,270
things fascinate me about space it is

191
00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:22,280
the stupid offices third at something

192
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:27,600
excited exciting like space aliens and

193
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:30,250
then I saw the

194
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:34,330
videos are the amex films and then I saw

195
00:11:41,130 --> 00:11:37,810
the beauty of that and so I got involved

196
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:41,140
in that and I saw the use of it so that

197
00:11:47,150 --> 00:11:43,650
combination is very fascinating to me

198
00:11:50,670 --> 00:11:47,160
mankind just like this predator on earth

199
00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:50,680
they will also spread out in space it's

200
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:52,720
a very long process which requires a lot

201
00:11:57,690 --> 00:11:54,610
of new technology we haven't thought

202
00:12:00,990 --> 00:11:57,700
about that's all required to get ahead

203
00:12:05,670 --> 00:12:01,000
to other solar systems maybe nothing's

204
00:12:07,710 --> 00:12:05,680
impossible so I expect this to be just a

205
00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:07,720
first step and I think it's fascinating

206
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:12,880
to be part of this first step and to see

207
00:12:17,490 --> 00:12:15,010
where it is going there's so much to

208
00:12:23,250 --> 00:12:17,500
explore but millions and millions of

209
00:12:26,580 --> 00:12:23,260
stars and planets and I think we will be

210
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:26,590
getting a lot of important things out of

211
00:12:32,940 --> 00:12:30,760
space journey the of what have yahoo or

212
00:12:37,470 --> 00:12:32,950
what inspired you to become an astronaut

213
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:37,480
I think it occurs recommend oh I think I

214
00:12:44,610 --> 00:12:41,170
could say my grandmother she bought the

215
00:12:48,510 --> 00:12:44,620
science fiction uh bookie booklets for

216
00:12:50,910 --> 00:12:48,520
me for one Gilder and that was a whole

217
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:50,920
series of booklets magazines and I

218
00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:54,310
started reading them when you're out the

219
00:13:00,329 --> 00:12:56,800
fact and that actually brought me to a

220
00:13:04,710 --> 00:13:00,339
space travel getting interested in it so

221
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:04,720
I saw the moon cars and I also read

222
00:13:09,930 --> 00:13:07,570
popular scientific magazines and there

223
00:13:16,140 --> 00:13:09,940
they show these are space stations and I

224
00:13:17,940 --> 00:13:16,150
was sold who called was focused on the

225
00:13:20,310 --> 00:13:17,950
ears to flip on how big an

226
00:13:23,060 --> 00:13:20,320
accomplishment in your opinion was the

227
00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:23,070
first flight of the Wright brothers

228
00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:25,839
elders over the fact it was a quite a

229
00:13:31,950 --> 00:13:29,920
big accomplishment several peor quite a

230
00:13:36,090 --> 00:13:31,960
few people were involved in it or

231
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:36,100
working on it it is special because they

232
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:39,850
were so persistent it had to work and I

233
00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:42,250
think that is typical for people who

234
00:13:46,270 --> 00:13:43,760
have a dream

235
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:46,280
you need treat things to get ahead you

236
00:13:52,060 --> 00:13:49,130
need a dream someone who comes up with

237
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:52,070
the idea for doing certain thing and

238
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:54,530
then you have to work it out on paper to

239
00:14:01,120 --> 00:13:56,450
calculate to see if it's possible and

240
00:14:04,450 --> 00:14:01,130
then thirdly you need the technicians to

241
00:14:08,740 --> 00:14:04,460
build it right so these things to the

242
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:08,750
Wright brothers all had those things and

243
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:10,970
were able to accomplish that and that's

244
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:13,250
the kind of people you need to make

245
00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:18,110
these first impossible steps thank you

246
00:14:23,050 --> 00:14:20,480
very thank you very much Andre we still

247
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:23,060
have a few minutes left before I proceed

248
00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:24,890
could you please clap in your hands so

249
00:14:40,139 --> 00:14:37,769
thank you thank you very much they need

250
00:14:43,079 --> 00:14:40,149
a belay a question that's a not on the

251
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:43,089
list what is the most important camac

252
00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:45,370
phone call you ever made with a cell

253
00:14:53,610 --> 00:14:50,889
phone the same software that's a very

254
00:15:00,769 --> 00:14:53,620
interesting question most important

255
00:15:07,230 --> 00:15:04,470
well many calls are important i have no

256
00:15:12,420 --> 00:15:07,240
idea i really wouldn't know i would

257
00:15:14,460 --> 00:15:12,430
really have to make up something safe

258
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:14,470
need open our daram doesn't matter

259
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:17,110
you're also from space you said please

260
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:19,810
in how far has mobile communication i

261
00:15:31,470 --> 00:15:27,490
changed the world great part many people

262
00:15:34,199 --> 00:15:31,480
who weren't able to communicate way back

263
00:15:38,250 --> 00:15:34,209
when aren't able to do so now for

264
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:38,260
example in third world people are much

265
00:15:42,630 --> 00:15:40,690
better able to communicate also in the

266
00:15:46,019 --> 00:15:42,640
areas where it used to be very difficult

267
00:15:49,050 --> 00:15:46,029
before and i also think it made the

268
00:15:52,199 --> 00:15:49,060
world a lot smaller because you can be

269
00:15:56,250 --> 00:15:52,209
in contact with people anywhere i think

270
00:15:58,800 --> 00:15:56,260
it offers great advantages then again it

271
00:16:00,720 --> 00:15:58,810
also have disadvantages for example

272
00:16:03,090 --> 00:16:00,730
people who are addicted to their cell

273
00:16:08,910 --> 00:16:03,100
phone and also have to be able to be

274
00:16:11,490 --> 00:16:08,920
reached thank you velvet mood i thank

275
00:16:16,139 --> 00:16:11,500
you very much unfortunately we have to

276
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:16,149
shut down oh no we have one question

277
00:16:21,389 --> 00:16:18,730
left ma'am I mean how far was a

278
00:16:23,220 --> 00:16:21,399
moonlighting of Apollo 11 a great

279
00:16:26,850 --> 00:16:23,230
accomplishment and why is it important

280
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:26,860
for mankind to explore space is I think

281
00:16:31,470 --> 00:16:29,529
over 50 from a glorious follow-up well

282
00:16:34,129 --> 00:16:31,480
the flight that was important to me was

283
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:34,139
Apollo 8 that was the first time that

284
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:38,800
people went flood flow around the moon

285
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:43,690
and could see earth as a small round

286
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:45,970
object and I think it was important for

287
00:16:50,369 --> 00:16:47,410
mankind

288
00:16:54,869 --> 00:16:50,379
to realize what a small planet we are in

289
00:16:57,119 --> 00:16:54,879
the endless universe so I think it was

290
00:16:59,819 --> 00:16:57,129
very important it was quite an enormous

291
00:17:02,340 --> 00:16:59,829
achievement to land on the moon too but

292
00:17:05,730 --> 00:17:02,350
flying out there there was something

293
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:05,740
very special crosman front I think the

294
00:17:11,220 --> 00:17:08,650
greatest moment it was definitely the

295
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:11,230
greatest moment of last earth so the

296
00:17:18,539 --> 00:17:14,890
Apollo flights leaving our planet were

297
00:17:20,460 --> 00:17:18,549
very important Thank You Val cannot

298
00:17:23,779 --> 00:17:20,470
thank you very much we're going to close

299
00:17:31,630 --> 00:17:23,789
it off the best of luck and thank you
