so 72 00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:00,320 administrator for human exploration 73 00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:03,039 operations bill sunday morning a 74 00:21:07,029 --> 00:21:05,120 thunderous start to a new increment on 75 00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:07,039 the international space station and an 76 00:21:11,350 --> 00:21:08,880 unprecedented amount of work ahead for 77 00:21:13,190 --> 00:21:11,360 this crew your impressions of today's 78 00:21:14,149 --> 00:21:13,200 launch and what lies ahead over the next 79 00:21:16,230 --> 00:21:14,159 few weeks 80 00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:16,240 again the launch was just tremendous 81 00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:18,480 today to to see that rocket roar into 82 00:21:22,630 --> 00:21:20,880 space and to hear the noise and and 83 00:21:24,230 --> 00:21:22,640 think of all the thousands of hours of 84 00:21:26,070 --> 00:21:24,240 work that went into that rocket the 85 00:21:28,390 --> 00:21:26,080 training for the crews to get ready both 86 00:21:30,870 --> 00:21:28,400 the ground crews the flight crews the 87 00:21:32,470 --> 00:21:30,880 teams on board in houston that got the 88 00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:32,480 space station ready to receive this 89 00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:34,720 soyuz capsule just a tremendous amount 90 00:21:39,029 --> 00:21:36,880 of effort to see all that come to this 91 00:21:41,029 --> 00:21:39,039 culmination today and see that rocket 92 00:21:42,710 --> 00:21:41,039 rise out here and and just what a 93 00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:42,720 beautiful beautiful launch today as i 94 00:21:46,789 --> 00:21:45,200 got to see that the launch and they 95 00:21:48,630 --> 00:21:46,799 never get old each launch is very 96 00:21:49,909 --> 00:21:48,640 different and this one was special in 97 00:21:51,590 --> 00:21:49,919 its own way 98 00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:51,600 before we look ahead let's take a look 99 00:21:56,549 --> 00:21:54,240 back 37 years ago today 100 00:21:58,149 --> 00:21:56,559 apollo soyuz began that historic mission 101 00:22:00,549 --> 00:21:58,159 that opened the avenue of international 102 00:22:02,950 --> 00:22:00,559 cooperation that we saw perpetuated here 103 00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:02,960 with this launch today 104 00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:05,760 37 years is it amazing that this 105 00:22:09,510 --> 00:22:07,440 international cooperation that first 106 00:22:11,110 --> 00:22:09,520 handshake in space has yielded such a 107 00:22:13,510 --> 00:22:11,120 project in orbit 108 00:22:15,669 --> 00:22:13,520 it's absolutely amazing when when i 109 00:22:18,390 --> 00:22:15,679 think about what occurred to make apollo 110 00:22:20,470 --> 00:22:18,400 soyuz happen and and to bring these two 111 00:22:22,549 --> 00:22:20,480 countries together to get the technology 112 00:22:24,149 --> 00:22:22,559 to have the understanding to go to make 113 00:22:26,390 --> 00:22:24,159 happen apollo soyuz to have that 114 00:22:29,190 --> 00:22:26,400 handshake and the exchange of the coins 115 00:22:31,029 --> 00:22:29,200 in space it was a tremendous effort and 116 00:22:33,590 --> 00:22:31,039 engineering effort but then i fast 117 00:22:35,350 --> 00:22:33,600 forward to today 37 years later and i 118 00:22:37,590 --> 00:22:35,360 look at what we're doing and the level 119 00:22:39,830 --> 00:22:37,600 of cooperation the level of dependence 120 00:22:41,750 --> 00:22:39,840 between our two countries is so much 121 00:22:44,470 --> 00:22:41,760 more than it ever was back in apollo 122 00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:44,480 soyuz in apollo soyuz we had to work 123 00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:46,720 together but we didn't really we weren't 124 00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:49,200 dependent upon each other today both of 125 00:22:53,590 --> 00:22:51,280 our programs depend 126 00:22:55,590 --> 00:22:53,600 100 on the other program delivering so 127 00:22:57,909 --> 00:22:55,600 the the knowledge the sharing the level 128 00:22:59,590 --> 00:22:57,919 of cooperation that we do today 37 years 129 00:23:01,110 --> 00:22:59,600 after that wonderful event is just 130 00:23:02,950 --> 00:23:01,120 dramatically different than it was 131 00:23:05,190 --> 00:23:02,960 before and and you don't get to this 132 00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:05,200 level of cooperation immediately you get 133 00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:07,280 to it over a period of time and over a 134 00:23:11,510 --> 00:23:09,440 period of steps you learn to trust your 135 00:23:12,950 --> 00:23:11,520 partner you learn to work together and 136 00:23:14,870 --> 00:23:12,960 that's what we've done over these years 137 00:23:17,029 --> 00:23:14,880 and this space station today is not just 138 00:23:18,630 --> 00:23:17,039 a russian u.s space station it's a true 139 00:23:21,430 --> 00:23:18,640 international space station with the 140 00:23:23,669 --> 00:23:21,440 japanese flying on this rocket today the 141 00:23:26,149 --> 00:23:23,679 international cooperation the htv 142 00:23:28,149 --> 00:23:26,159 getting ready to launch in a couple days 143 00:23:30,149 --> 00:23:28,159 what an event and what an amazing thing 144 00:23:31,830 --> 00:23:30,159 is occurring in space and i can't stress 145 00:23:33,750 --> 00:23:31,840 enough to our populations here on the 146 00:23:35,190 --> 00:23:33,760 earth to take a look to get up in the 147 00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:35,200 morning or the evening and watch that 148 00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:37,600 little white dot fly across overhead and 149 00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:38,720 think about the international 150 00:23:42,710 --> 00:23:40,720 cooperation think about the thousands of 151 00:23:44,549 --> 00:23:42,720 hours of work around the world that made 152 00:23:45,669 --> 00:23:44,559 this beautiful research facility 153 00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:45,679 possible 154 00:23:50,230 --> 00:23:47,600 what a what a humbling 155 00:23:51,990 --> 00:23:50,240 experience it is to be here today 156 00:23:53,750 --> 00:23:52,000 following on the footsteps of apollo 157 00:23:56,230 --> 00:23:53,760 soil use as you've discussed 158 00:23:58,310 --> 00:23:56,240 you mentioned the htv uh that uh is the 159 00:23:59,669 --> 00:23:58,320 japanese cargo ship being prepared even 160 00:24:01,029 --> 00:23:59,679 as we speak for launch out of 161 00:24:02,470 --> 00:24:01,039 tanagashima 162 00:24:05,110 --> 00:24:02,480 next weekend 163 00:24:07,669 --> 00:24:05,120 that kicks off nine visiting vehicle 164 00:24:10,630 --> 00:24:07,679 operations between japanese and russian 165 00:24:12,789 --> 00:24:10,640 vehicles over the next 17 days with two 166 00:24:14,870 --> 00:24:12,799 spacewalks by this crew yet to come in 167 00:24:17,190 --> 00:24:14,880 the weeks ahead in august 168 00:24:19,669 --> 00:24:17,200 it's almost a daunting thought to 169 00:24:21,669 --> 00:24:19,679 consider how much work lies ahead yeah 170 00:24:23,669 --> 00:24:21,679 it's it's another dynamic time we 171 00:24:25,430 --> 00:24:23,679 thought when assembly was done and we 172 00:24:26,630 --> 00:24:25,440 were done building this magnificent 173 00:24:28,630 --> 00:24:26,640 structure 174 00:24:30,630 --> 00:24:28,640 things would slow down but no the 175 00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:30,640 ability to just stay in space and keep 176 00:24:34,789 --> 00:24:32,640 this vehicle resupplied to bring up 177 00:24:36,950 --> 00:24:34,799 quality research to return research 178 00:24:39,269 --> 00:24:36,960 requires all this logistics and this 179 00:24:40,950 --> 00:24:39,279 carried you know the hardware from japan 180 00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:40,960 the progress vehicles all those 181 00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:44,159 activities are very difficult to happen 182 00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:46,480 and make occur and for these teams to 183 00:24:49,350 --> 00:24:48,080 stay focused and make this happen is 184 00:24:51,029 --> 00:24:49,360 just amazing 185 00:24:53,029 --> 00:24:51,039 and one final question 186 00:24:55,669 --> 00:24:53,039 veteran crew 187 00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:55,679 rising to orbit today they will join a 188 00:24:58,630 --> 00:24:57,120 crew that's been on orbit for the past 189 00:25:00,470 --> 00:24:58,640 couple of months including gennady 190 00:25:03,029 --> 00:25:00,480 padalka first three-time station 191 00:25:05,110 --> 00:25:03,039 commander uh your thoughts about uh the 192 00:25:06,710 --> 00:25:05,120 complexion of this crew 193 00:25:08,870 --> 00:25:06,720 against the volume of work that lies 194 00:25:10,710 --> 00:25:08,880 ahead for them again i think we've we've 195 00:25:13,750 --> 00:25:10,720 done an extremely good job of putting 196 00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:13,760 together a really phenomenal crew i know 197 00:25:17,909 --> 00:25:15,440 this crew individually i've seen them 198 00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:17,919 fly many times before as a team we've 199 00:25:21,510 --> 00:25:19,440 got the right team going up the team 200 00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:21,520 that's on orbit is also very strong so 201 00:25:25,830 --> 00:25:24,240 again with these two really strong teams 202 00:25:28,710 --> 00:25:25,840 and a good support from the ground both 203 00:25:30,310 --> 00:25:28,720 here in russia and in in houston 204 00:25:32,070 --> 00:25:30,320 and throughout the world they can 205 00:25:33,750 --> 00:25:32,080 accomplish this task in front of them so 206 00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:33,760 she's talked about these nine critical 207 00:25:36,549 --> 00:25:35,120 events that are going to be occurring 208 00:25:38,950 --> 00:25:36,559 they're going to be doing research at 209 00:25:41,190 --> 00:25:38,960 the same time but but this experience of 210 00:25:42,630 --> 00:25:41,200 this crew will get tested over the next 211 00:25:44,950 --> 00:25:42,640 several months as they do all these 212 00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:44,960 activities but i have no no doubt about 213 00:25:48,710 --> 00:25:46,720 what this these crews can accomplish 214 00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:48,720 they are really the ultimate and 215 00:25:52,870 --> 00:25:50,400 experienced crews and i can't think of a
