00:16:53,680 so i was just having i was wondering um 246 00:16:58,790 --> 00:16:56,320 going to work in the morning 247 00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:58,800 what is the more stressful commute going 248 00:17:04,069 --> 00:17:01,759 to the office in houston traffic or 249 00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:04,079 going to your other office strapped to a 250 00:17:06,949 --> 00:17:05,439 rocket 251 00:17:08,309 --> 00:17:06,959 well first of all thank you for the 252 00:17:10,789 --> 00:17:08,319 comment on my hair it was a little 253 00:17:12,710 --> 00:17:10,799 shocking when i saw how short it was but 254 00:17:14,549 --> 00:17:12,720 i'm getting used to it and it's going to 255 00:17:16,630 --> 00:17:14,559 look longer when i'm in space 256 00:17:18,150 --> 00:17:16,640 um do you set your question about what's 257 00:17:19,429 --> 00:17:18,160 a little bit more stressful i would 258 00:17:21,189 --> 00:17:19,439 definitely say 259 00:17:23,350 --> 00:17:21,199 going to work 260 00:17:26,069 --> 00:17:23,360 in houston is more stressful 261 00:17:28,069 --> 00:17:26,079 than the eight-minute rocket ride 262 00:17:29,909 --> 00:17:28,079 the the traffic in houston like i think 263 00:17:31,669 --> 00:17:29,919 everybody knows is pretty horrible and 264 00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:31,679 sometimes just a five 265 00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:33,919 mile commute can take about 15 or 20 266 00:17:37,270 --> 00:17:34,960 minutes 267 00:17:39,430 --> 00:17:37,280 and we'll be already in the rocket 268 00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:39,440 resting getting our final preparations 269 00:17:43,909 --> 00:17:41,280 done before we launch and like i 270 00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:43,919 mentioned it's only an eight minute ride 271 00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:46,400 there's no traffic jam on the way and uh 272 00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:48,000 we'll be in space before we know it 273 00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:49,440 thank you 274 00:17:54,549 --> 00:17:51,440 hello ria novosti alexey 275 00:17:55,669 --> 00:17:54,559 i have two questions uh for the prime 276 00:17:57,669 --> 00:17:55,679 crew 277 00:18:01,909 --> 00:17:57,679 first of all 278 00:18:07,990 --> 00:18:04,950 name of a gemstone in russian who 279 00:18:09,909 --> 00:18:08,000 selected it and 280 00:18:12,150 --> 00:18:09,919 my second question 281 00:18:17,190 --> 00:18:12,160 is what are you planning to do in your 282 00:18:22,070 --> 00:18:20,070 is our call signing usually what happens 283 00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:22,080 is that the soyuz commander picks the 284 00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:24,080 call sign 285 00:18:28,230 --> 00:18:25,840 it is done when the commander prepares 286 00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:28,240 for his first flight so i probably 287 00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:30,720 selected that call sign back in 1993 288 00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:33,760 when i was preparing for my first flight 289 00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:36,480 at that time there was a list of all 290 00:18:43,909 --> 00:18:39,760 signs that were available 291 00:18:46,789 --> 00:18:43,919 they were the names of gemstones and 292 00:18:48,549 --> 00:18:46,799 stars there and i saw 293 00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:48,559 this word which 294 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:59,909 stone and so i picked it 295 00:19:02,710 --> 00:19:01,750 so the second question was about free 296 00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:02,720 time 297 00:19:06,150 --> 00:19:04,640 like yuri mentioned already we're going 298 00:19:07,190 --> 00:19:06,160 to be pretty busy as soon as we get 299 00:19:08,870 --> 00:19:07,200 there 300 00:19:22,630 --> 00:19:08,880 with htv 301 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:33,190 um 302 00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:35,750 but i know one thing that all of us have 303 00:19:39,909 --> 00:19:37,919 not seen yet is the cupola so i think 304 00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:39,919 we'll probably be spending some of our 305 00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:42,240 spare time uh looking out the windows in 306 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,830 video 307 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:57,190 first 308 00:20:00,789 --> 00:19:59,430 and of course um a very significant 309 00:20:03,270 --> 00:20:00,799 event is happening while we're up there 310 00:20:18,950 --> 00:20:03,280 as the olympics um so hopefully we'll be 311 00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:20,710 and just one thought about the olympics 312 00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:22,320 i think the international space station 313 00:20:25,750 --> 00:20:24,080 and the olympics are very similar in 314 00:20:27,590 --> 00:20:25,760 that they bring together countries from 315 00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:27,600 all over the world they work together 316 00:20:31,750 --> 00:20:29,280 they compete and they bring out the best 317 00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:31,760 of each other 318 00:20:58,070 --> 00:20:55,990 thank you looks like sunny answered for 319 00:20:59,669 --> 00:20:58,080

--> 00:24:56,000 uh hopefully we'll get to do a spacewalk 377 00:25:17,830 --> 00:25:14,870 a lot of people ask if you're scared 378 00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:17,840 when you go what we call out the door 379 00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:19,840 and luckily it was night time so i 380 00:25:25,350 --> 00:25:21,279 really couldn't see a lot when i went 381 00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:37,350 um 382 00:25:42,070 -->

about doing a 389 00:26:08,950 --> 00:26:07,039 spacewalk is you can turn your head 390 00:26:11,350 --> 00:26:08,960 essentially in any direction so you can 391 00:26:13,110 --> 00:26:11,360 see out

00:29:41,990 --> 00:29:40,640 weeks but years 451 00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:42,000 and uh 452 00:29:47,029 --> 00:29:44,960 we are here to support the prime crew 453 00:29:49,510 --> 00:29:47,039 and we will be ready in uh in five 454 00:29:51,430 --> 00:29:49,520 months for our own flight and 455 00:29:53,909 --> 00:29:51,440 this is this is an important threshold 456 00:29:57,669 --> 00:29:53,919 but it's one of thousands and and so 457 00:29:59,190 --> 00:29:57,679 it's it's time moves quickly and uh we 458 00:30:01,909 --> 00:29:59,200 are happy to be able to support right 459 00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:01,919 now but uh it's really just part of the 460 00:31:16,710 --> 00:30:04,480 long process to get us ready for our own 461 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:43,990 uh 462 00:31:47,509 --> 00:31:45,669 very much as you can see our 463 00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:47,519 international crew members can speak 464 00:31:54,789 --> 00:31:53,269 i have the same question for yuri and 465

00:34:42,790 --> 00:34:32,240 what interests you the most thank you 514 00:34:49,829 --> 00:34:46,950 and i in 1994 flew in space together 515 00:34:53,430 --> 00:34:49,839 it's been 18 years since we flew and in 516 00:34:58,790 --> 00:34:56,470 accomplished two programs 517 00:34:59,510 --> 00:34:58,800 the program that was prepared by 518 00:35:03,910 --> 00:34:59,520 the 519 00:35:08,790 --> 00:35:03,920 and also we had a big 520 00:35:10,150 --> 00:35:08,800 program prepared for us by the uh 521 00:35:12,230 --> 00:35:10,160 academy 522 00:35:14,390 --> 00:35:12,240 of sciences of uh the republic of 523 00:35:19,750 --> 00:35:14,400 kazakhstan that was very interesting as 524 00:35:24,470 --> 00:35:21,349 in the end of our flight after we 525 00:35:26,630 --> 00:35:24,480 accomplished this program we were given 526 00:35:28,790 --> 00:35:26,640 the owner of the heroes of the republic 527 00:35:32,069 --> 00:35:28,800 of kazakhstan that was bestowed on us by 528 00:35:34,069 --> 00:35:32,079 the president of kazakhstan 529 00:35:35,589 --> 00:35:34,079 we keep in touch 530 00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:35,599 we talk 531 00:35:39,349 --> 00:35:37,280 regularly 532 00:35:43,109 --> 00:35:39,359 last time i saw him was actually today 533 00:35:47,349 --> 00:35:46,230 and he will be watching our launch and 534 00:35:52,069 --> 00:35:47,359 of course 535 00:35:54,150 --> 00:35:52,790 see 536 00:36:01,349 --> 00:35:54,160 representatives of kazakhstan 537 00:36:04,310 --> 00:36:03,349 and the two crew members that you 538 00:36:07,910 --> 00:36:04,320 mentioned 539 00:36:10,630 --> 00:36:07,920 were trained in star city in russia and 540 00:36:14,150 --> 00:36:10,640 they are ready to be included in a 541 00:36:16,230 --> 00:36:14,160 specific group and maybe even 542 00:36:18,390 --> 00:36:16,240 be included in specific crews and i know 543 00:36:21,109 --> 00:36:18,400 that there are negotiations going on at 544 00:36:36,069 --> 00:36:21,119 this time i'm sure 545 00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:48,470 station thank you 546 00:36:53,190 --> 00:36:50,550 today you talked a lot about your 547 00:36:55,190 --> 00:36:53,200 science experiments over 548 00:36:56,550 --> 00:36:55,200 40 experiments 549 00:36:58,790 --> 00:36:56,560 the most 550 00:37:00,710 --> 00:36:58,800 interesting ones maybe can you narrow 551 00:37:02,630 --> 00:37:00,720 down to three maybe you'll grow flowers 552 00:37:04,390 --> 00:37:02,640 on board of the iss that you will be 553 00:37:07,109 --> 00:37:04,400 growing out of seeds that you will bring 554 00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:07,119 with you or something like this 555 00:37:10,870 --> 00:37:09,760 can you mention three most interesting 556 00:37:12,950 --> 00:37:10,880 or 557 00:37:14,630 --> 00:37:12,960 most fascinating experiments do i 558 00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:14,640 understand that this question is 559 00:37:18,470 --> 00:37:16,160 correctly that this question is for all 560 00:37:20,390 --> 00:37:18,480 crew members yes 561 00:37:22,950 --> 00:37:20,400 no 562 00:37:25,990 --> 00:37:22,960 for me 563 00:37:27,990 --> 00:37:26,000 all experiments are 564 00:37:29,270 --> 00:37:28,000 always interesting i don't like to 565 00:37:31,270 --> 00:37:29,280 single out 566 00:37:33,990 --> 00:37:31,280 some of them 567 00:37:35,589 --> 00:37:34,000 any of them for example when we go 568 00:37:37,430 --> 00:37:35,599 outside of the station we will be 569 00:37:39,190 --> 00:37:37,440 collecting samples 570 00:37:41,510 --> 00:37:39,200 and this will be continuation of the 571 00:37:43,829 --> 00:37:41,520 scientific experiments that experiment 572 00:37:46,390 --> 00:37:43,839 that's been going on for years 573 00:37:49,030 --> 00:37:46,400 we will be collecting samples from the 574 00:37:50,870 --> 00:37:49,040 surface of the iss 575 00:37:52,950 --> 00:37:50,880 and 576 00:37:54,390 --> 00:37:52,960 bring them back inside the airlock 577 00:37:56,950 --> 00:37:54,400 and then 578 00:37:59,510 --> 00:37:56,960 to be subsequently returned to the 579 00:38:03,270 --> 00:38:00,870 where they will be studied and 580 00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:03,280 researched this is very research this is 581 00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:05,359 very important 582 00:38:10,790 --> 00:38:07,520 it will be important for building future 583 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,829 rockets 584 00:38:16,790 --> 00:38:15,990 another experiment that we will be doing 585 00:38:18,310 --> 00:38:16,800 is 586 00:38:20,710 --> 00:38:18,320 launching 587 00:38:23,349 --> 00:38:20,720 a small satellite by 588 00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:23,359 by jettisoning it with the help of um 589 00:38:29,829 --> 00:38:26,480 special mechanism that allows it to 590 00:38:33,510 --> 00:38:29,839 launch it in the correct direction 591 00:38:35,190 --> 00:38:33,520 it will be sort of a spring mechanism 592 00:38:37,670 --> 00:38:35,200 that will allow us to jettison it 593 00:38:43,030 --> 00:38:40,950 we will be conducting research 594 00:38:48,790 --> 00:38:43,040 to allow us to understand better the 595 00:38:54,550 --> 00:38:51,510 what angles is this trajectories assume 596 00:39:00,150 --> 00:38:54,560 etc so that is also important for us to 597 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,030 of satellites 598 00:39:09,030 --> 00:39:05,510 that becomes important even in uh 599 00:39:10,069 --> 00:39:09,040 piloting a manned spacecraft as well 600 00:39:11,589 --> 00:39:10,079 maybe 601 00:39:13,270 --> 00:39:11,599 sunny will want to talk about an 602 00:39:15,349 --> 00:39:13,280 experiment there's so many experiments 603 00:39:17,190 --> 00:39:15,359 that we'll be we're participating in and 604 00:39:19,030 --> 00:39:17,200 that will be occurring on the space 605 00:39:20,550 --> 00:39:19,040 station it's sort of hard to say which 606 00:39:22,069 --> 00:39:20,560 ones you like the best or which ones are 607 00:39:25,109 --> 00:39:22,079 the most interesting 608 00:39:25,119 --> 00:39:34,230 experience 609 00:39:39,109 --> 00:39:37,109 so i'll put it in a categories rather 610 00:39:40,550 --> 00:39:39,119 than a specific experiment if that's 611 00:39:44,950 --> 00:39:40,560 okay 612 00:39:48,790 --> 00:39:47,109 um like biological experiments that 613 00:39:51,349 --> 00:39:48,800 we'll be doing on ourselves i think are 614 00:39:53,589 --> 00:39:51,359 very important to understand what 615 00:40:13,270 --> 00:39:53,599 happens to the human body so we can go 616 00:40:18,630 --> 00:40:14,950 and those experiments involve physical 617 00:40:20,630 --> 00:40:18,640 fitness taking samples from ourselves uh 618 00:40:42,069 --> 00:40:20,640 using ultrasound 619 00:40:46,630 --> 00:40:44,470 and then there's a general category of 620 00:40:50,309 --> 00:40:46,640 education and understanding just some of 621 00:40:56,870 --> 00:40:50,319 the basic things that happen in space 622 00:41:02,150 --> 00:40:59,109 some of that is basic physics and other 623 00:41:04,309 --> 00:41:02,160 other things in that category involve an 624 00:41:15,510 --> 00:41:04,319 experiment with a jumping spider 625 00:41:20,390 --> 00:41:18,630 and the third group of experiments which 626 00:41:22,550 --> 00:41:20,400 are occurring on the space station we're 627 00:41:33,190 --> 00:41:22,560 not even part of our of course ams which 628 00:41:37,510 --> 00:41:35,589 and also ground control type of 629 00:41:39,349 --> 00:41:37,520 experiments where while we're up there 630 00:41:41,270 --> 00:41:39,359 they'll be performing a refueling 631 00:41:43,910 --> 00:41:41,280 external refueling mission 632 00:41:46,069 --> 00:41:43,920 using ground control so the station has 633 00:41:48,550 --> 00:41:46,079 all sorts of facets of science it's hard 634 00:42:01,270 --> 00:41:48,560 to actually pin down which is the 635 00:42:05,829 --> 00:42:03,270 well just like sunny said it's a very 636 00:42:14,829 --> 00:42:05,839 hard to choose one out of a many 637 00:42:20,630 --> 00:42:17,990 experiments there is however one unique 638 00:42:22,630 --> 00:42:20,640 uh uh experiment or technical experiment 639 00:42:27,109 --> 00:42:22,640 that uh we'll be doing during our 640 00:42:27,119 --> 00:42:31,349 experiment 641 00:42:36,390 --> 00:42:33,670 and that is to deploy a small satellite 642 00:42:38,950 --> 00:42:36,400 actually five of them uh uh using the 643 00:42:48,309 --> 00:42:38,960 japanese robotic arm 644 00:42:52,550 --> 00:42:50,390 in the past we either launched 645 00:42:54,870 --> 00:42:52,560 small satellites piggybacking big 646 00:42:56,470 --> 00:42:54,880 satellites or like the russian cosmos 647 00:43:10,710 --> 00:42:56,480 has been doing 648 00:43:17,750 --> 00:43:12,950 is 649 00:43:20,069 --> 00:43:17,760 first time launching it satellites in 650 00:43:22,390 --> 00:43:20,079 the htv 651 00:43:25,349 --> 00:43:22,400 spacecraft and then 652 00:43:27,270 --> 00:43:25,359 opening it up inside the space station 653 00:43:29,589 --> 00:43:27,280 using the japanese airlock to put it 654 00:43:32,150 --> 00:43:29,599 bring it outside 655 00:43:32,950 --> 00:43:32,160 grab it with a japanese robotic arm and 656 00:43:38,790 --> 00:43:32,960 then 657 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:52,950 that 658 00:43:58,870 --> 00:43:55,349 immobile 659 00:44:01,430 --> 00:43:58,880 and we hope that this will open up more 660 00:44:02,230 --> 00:44:01,440 opportunities for other users not just 661 00:44:03,430 --> 00:44:02,240 the 662 00:44:05,750 --> 00:44:03,440 users that 663 00:44:21,589 --> 00:44:05,760 exist right now but open up 664 00:44:26,950 --> 00:44:23,829 thank you very much let's 665 00:44:29,349 --> 00:44:26,960 ask questions 666 00:44:31,030 --> 00:44:29,359 specifically 667 00:44:34,069 --> 00:44:31,040 addressing them for specific crew 668 00:44:36,069 --> 00:44:34,079 members rather than an entire crew 669 00:44:38,150 --> 00:44:36,079 in the interest of time and if you could 670 00:44:40,309 --> 00:44:38,160 as well answer in french and english 671 00:44:41,910 --> 00:44:40,319 that would be wonderful 672 00:44:43,190 --> 00:44:41,920 so although 673 00:44:44,550 --> 00:44:43,200 most of you have 674 00:44:46,950 --> 00:44:44,560 come from very different cultural 675 00:44:48,470 --> 00:44:46,960 backgrounds and you have a wide range of 676 00:44:50,790 --> 00:44:48,480 expertise 677 00:44:51,829 --> 00:44:50,800 there's one common thread that ties you 678 00:44:53,829 --> 00:44:51,839 all together 679 00:44:56,790 --> 00:44:53,839 which is that you're all very strong 680 00:44:59,190 --> 00:44:56,800 leaders chris could you tell us 681 00:45:01,510 --> 00:44:59,200 if you have any advice to give the 682 00:45:03,829 --> 00:45:01,520 young students of canada 683 00:45:41,990 --> 00:45:03,839 to become stronger leaders to their 684 00:45:46,230 --> 00:45:44,230 the first step that i i have the 685 00:45:48,470 --> 00:45:46,240 opportunity and all of us do luckily to 686 00:45:50,150 --> 00:45:48,480 speak to tens of thousands of young 687 00:45:57,190 --> 00:45:50,160 people around the world it's a real 688 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:03,430 um 689 00:46:06,870 --> 00:46:05,030 the first and most important facet of 690 00:46:08,870 --> 00:46:06,880 leadership is competence 691 00:46:10,950 --> 00:46:08,880 you have to have competence whatever 692 00:46:13,190 --> 00:46:10,960 your field of leadership is in you need 693 00:46:15,589 --> 00:46:13,200 to have done the work uh prepared 694 00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:15,599 yourself so that you have the technical 695 00:46:19,190 --> 00:46:17,680 capability in order to lead the people 696 00:46:24,790 --> 00:46:19,200 that are going to follow you 697 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,470 please 698 00:46:32,390 --> 00:46:30,470 and then the second most important is 699 00:46:35,270 --> 00:46:32,400 communication you have to find out what 700 00:46:37,430 --> 00:46:35,280 people want and look for in advance you 701 00:46:40,390 --> 00:46:37,440 have to tell them real time 702 00:46:42,470 --> 00:46:40,400 uh what has to happen if it's an urgent 703 00:46:43,910 --> 00:46:42,480 moment or even a quiet moment and then 704 00:46:46,309 --> 00:46:43,920 you have to listen to what they say in 705 00:46:48,470 --> 00:46:46,319 response two-way communication is the 706 00:46:52,390 --> 00:46:48,480 other vital part of good and effective 707 00:46:52,400 --> 00:48:18,069 uh 708 00:48:23,030 --> 00:48:20,069 russia today television i have two 709 00:48:24,950 --> 00:48:23,040 questions um first one would be 710 00:48:28,309 --> 00:48:24,960 usually people when they are facing an 711 00:48:29,990 --> 00:48:28,319 important moment in their lives they 712 00:48:31,589 --> 00:48:30,000 they well they have like a soundtrack 713 00:48:33,430 --> 00:48:31,599 there's a soundtrack that 714 00:48:34,950 --> 00:48:33,440 pops up in their mind and i was 715 00:48:37,190 --> 00:48:34,960 wondering what is going to be your 716 00:48:38,870 --> 00:48:37,200 soundtrack on sunday when you are 717 00:48:45,190 --> 00:48:38,880 sitting in that so use on the way to the 718 00:48:45,200 --> 00:49:03,589 that you have 719 00:49:08,230 --> 00:49:05,670 the second question would be um if you 720 00:49:10,549 --> 00:49:08,240 have if you had to choose to pick 721 00:49:13,670 --> 00:49:10,559 one single thing that you haven't done 722 00:49:29,190 --> 00:49:13,680 in space or in the iss still what would 723 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,950 and of course that you really want to do 724 00:49:35,190 --> 00:49:33,589 it 725 00:49:38,150 --> 00:49:35,200 i'll answer the first question if that's 726 00:49:42,150 --> 00:49:39,670 because i sort of started thinking about 727 00:49:48,630 --> 00:49:42,160 this a little bit and um the black-eyed 728 00:49:52,390 --> 00:49:50,069 and if you know the song tonight's going 729 00:50:10,230 --> 00:49:52,400 to be a good time and the second one of 730 00:50:16,069 --> 00:50:12,950 so uh just to uh touch on the first 731 00:50:19,349 --> 00:50:16,079 question uh we'll see what pops up in my 732 00:50:22,150 --> 00:50:19,359 mind that day when i'm uh sitting but uh 733 00:50:24,710 --> 00:50:22,160 there is a new jaxa theme song for this 734 00:50:27,430 --> 00:50:24,720 mission so i look forward to uh 735 00:50:29,349 --> 00:50:27,440 listening to that uh well probably once 736 00:50:31,750 --> 00:50:29,359 i'm on orbit or maybe 737 00:50:48,790 --> 00:50:31,760 even earlier so we'll see about that 738 00:50:52,470 --> 00:50:50,710 and for the second question there's one 739 00:51:06,829 --> 00:50:52,480 thing that i'm looking forward to and 740 00:51:06,839 --> 00:51:11,990 um regarding the music it's an important 741 00:51:17,910 --> 00:51:14,870 moment and i don't know if i'll 742 00:51:20,630 --> 00:51:17,920 have music in my head at that time but 743 00:51:26,950 --> 00:51:20,640 if sonny has music then i can listen to 744 00:51:33,349 --> 00:51:28,870 what i look forward to on board of the 745 00:51:35,750 --> 00:51:33,359 iss uh my entire life i've been a pilot 746 00:51:39,750 --> 00:51:35,760 if i was short of the on time and could 747 00:51:41,910 --> 00:51:39,760 only do one thing i would fly around 748 00:51:44,950 --> 00:51:41,920 the station and enjoy the view because 749 00:51:47,829 --> 00:51:44,960 it's a wonderful creation of humanity 750 00:51:51,670 --> 00:51:47,839 it looks great against the background of 751 00:51:53,910 --> 00:51:51,680 the earth and it changes entirely when 752 00:51:55,910 --> 00:51:53,920 the sun rises or when the sun sets it's 753 00:51:57,750 --> 00:51:55,920 a completely different view different 754 00:51:59,030 --> 00:51:57,760 colors it's gorgeous first question i 755 00:52:01,270 --> 00:51:59,040 would say that 756 00:52:03,589 --> 00:52:01,280 i don't know what pops up in my mind 757 00:52:05,510 --> 00:52:03,599 when i will be preparing for my launch 758 00:52:07,030 --> 00:52:05,520 so i will be listening sunny's music 759 00:52:09,589 --> 00:52:07,040 that's okay for me 760 00:52:12,549 --> 00:52:09,599 and um answering the second question the 761 00:52:15,589 --> 00:52:12,559 only one thing that i would like to do 762 00:52:18,069 --> 00:52:15,599 uh is to fly around the house station 763 00:52:21,109 --> 00:52:18,079 onboard the soyuz because station is so 764 00:52:23,510 --> 00:52:21,119 huge and views are so different and 765 00:52:27,829 --> 00:52:23,520 beautiful and it's pretty nice to see 766 00:52:36,230 --> 00:52:27,839 when the sun rises and sun sets and it's 767 00:52:43,430 --> 00:52:37,829 looks like we've answered this question 768 00:52:53,030 --> 00:52:44,549 nhk 769 00:52:57,750 --> 00:52:53,829 you 770 00:53:02,390 --> 00:52:57,760 dream is to make 771 00:53:06,230 --> 00:53:04,630 to the people on earth how do you see 772 00:53:08,630 --> 00:53:06,240 you can accomplish that and also you 773 00:53:11,190 --> 00:53:08,640 mentioned their first satellite that you 774 00:53:13,030 --> 00:53:11,200 will be launching from the kibo 775 00:53:15,430 --> 00:53:13,040 module what is the message that you 776 00:53:18,150 --> 00:53:15,440 would like to send to the students and 777 00:53:19,990 --> 00:53:18,160 to the people who are working on making 778 00:53:35,670 --> 00:53:20,000 these satellites and we'll do that in 779 00:53:40,710 --> 00:53:38,069 so for the first question um 780 00:53:43,510 --> 00:53:40,720 yes uh i think uh you know right now 781 00:53:45,910 --> 00:53:43,520 there's only a handful of people 782 00:53:47,270 --> 00:53:45,920 that go up to space every year and 783 00:53:50,470 --> 00:53:47,280 that's just the cosmonauts and 784 00:53:59,349 --> 00:53:50,480 astronauts and another handful of people 785 00:54:05,030 --> 00:54:02,470 but as you can see today in this room uh 786 00:54:07,990 --> 00:54:05,040 we've all been to space we've all worked 787 00:54:14,069 --> 00:54:08,000 in space already and it's becoming a 788 00:54:14,079 --> 00:54:21,190 of course 789 00:54:24,630 --> 00:54:22,790 and i think it's our job and 790 00:54:36,230 --> 00:54:24,640 responsibility to 791 00:54:40,630 --> 00:54:37,750 and for your second question regarding 792 00:54:43,910 --> 00:54:40,640 the uh small satellites um we have five 793 00:54:46,630 --> 00:54:43,920 satellites uh they are built by uh 794 00:54:49,190 --> 00:54:46,640 university students as well as some uh 795 00:55:02,390 --> 00:54:49,200 companies in japan and uh in the united 796 00:55:05,109 --> 00:55:03,430 and 797 00:55:07,910 --> 00:55:05,119 in the past it was more for the 798 00:55:09,430 --> 00:55:07,920 university students to uh to experience 799 00:55:11,990 --> 00:55:09,440 the project 800 00:55:14,150 --> 00:55:12,000 but now it's more and more towards a 801 00:55:16,069 --> 00:55:14,160 business
