marshburn and this will be my second

30
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:03,440
space flight i'm going to be one of the

31
00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:05,280
flight engineers on both the soyuz

32
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:06,560
that's bringing us up to station and

33
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:08,479
returning us from station and i'll be a

34
00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:09,840
flight engineer onboard the space

35
00:01:14,230 --> 00:01:12,320
station as well just real quick i was

36
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:14,240
born in north carolina i

37
00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:15,920
got a physics degree at davidson college

38
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:18,159
got graduate degrees and from university

39
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:19,680
of virginia and the wake forest school

40
00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:21,680
of medicine i was an er doc for a while

41
00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:23,520
became before i became a nasa flight

42
00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:25,439
surgeon and then became an astronaut in

43
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:27,840
2004. i did have a chance to go to the

44
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:31,360
space station in 2009 spent 11 days

45
00:01:33,749 --> 00:01:32,720
docked to it

46
00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:33,759
um

47
00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:35,920
and so for the flight here i'm going to

be

49
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:38,880
hopefully doing some robotic arm

50
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:40,720
operations i'll be certified to do space

51
00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:43,040
walks if we need them but

52
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:44,799
as with most of us our main focus is

53
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:46,240
going to be conducting a lot of

54
00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:48,560
experiments on board and looking very

55
00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:50,640
much forward to after two and a half

56
00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:52,079
years of training to get our hands on

57
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:54,240
the experiments and to see what we find

58
00:02:23,910 --> 00:01:55,200
out

59
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:25,510

00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:21,840
be having a press conference with the

86
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:24,560
the history that is personified by uh by

87
00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:26,400
the recent passing of a couple space

88
00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,960
pioneers of sally ride and and neil

uh this morning

92
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:34,960
and also the recent events on space

93
00:04:39,749 --> 00:04:37,520
station uh some really critical

94
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:39,759
operations done in the last couple weeks

95
00:04:44,469 --> 00:04:42,080
overcoming some big significant hurdles

96
00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:44,479
and having the space station

97
00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:46,000
with the combination of the electrical

98
00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:48,400
repair and the evas and the complexities

99
00:04:53,909 --> 00:04:51,919
of releasing the japanese htv yesterday

100
00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:53,919
demonstrating the necessity for

101
00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:57,600
continued expertise and uh and skill

102
00:05:01,749 --> 00:04:59,680
in this thing that is space flight

103
00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:01,759
and for us to be looking forward to our

104
00:05:05,670 --> 00:05:04,000
flight today is really helps put that

105
00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:05,680
into perspective

106
00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:06,880
uh

107
00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:09,120
i'm really lucky to be flying with these

108
00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:10,560
gentlemen i'm from canada from the

109
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:12,479
canadian space agency

110
00:05:17,189 --> 00:05:14,479
i was raised on a farm not too far from

111
00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:17,199
toronto in the town of milton and two

112
00:05:20,469 --> 00:05:18,800
brothers and two sisters

113

joined the air force

114
00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:22,840
uh i flew

115
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:25,039
cf-18s i did a

116
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:26,720
training as a test pilot with the u.s

117
00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:28,639
air force and flew as an exchange test

118
00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:30,639
pilot with the united states navy and

119
00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:32,320
i've been an astronaut for a little over

120
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:33,840
20 years

121
00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:34,800
uh

122
00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:37,039
i've flown in space for 20 days and i've

123
00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:38,800
been in the astronaut program for 20

124
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:40,160
years to this point so i'm looking

125
00:05:43,990 --> 00:05:42,560
forward to the six months on orbit my

126
00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:44,000
first flight was to help build the

127
00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:45,840
russian space station mir

128
00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:48,240
and my second flight to do spacewalks

129
00:05:50,390 --> 00:05:49,199
and uh

130
00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:50,400
and to help build the international

131
00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:51,680
space station

132
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,560
i'm really looking forward to the suite

133
00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:56,160
of international experiments that on

134
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:57,840
board we've been training all around the

135
00:06:01,430 --> 00:05:59,600
world

136
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:01,440
not only be able to run that laboratory

137
00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:03,120
up there but to be able to do the

138
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:05,280
science that's on board and we

139
00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:07,120
are ready to do whatever we're asked of

140
00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:08,960
so back to you nicole

141
00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:10,080
thank you so much we're going to start

142
00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:11,360
here with questions from the johnson

143
00:06:14,309 --> 00:06:13,039
space center if you could please

144
00:06:16,390 --> 00:06:14,319
indicate if you have a question and

145
00:06:26,390 --> 00:06:16,400
state your name and affiliation

146
00:06:32,790 --> 00:06:29,909
uh the first one i i think is for

147
00:06:35,189 --> 00:06:32,800
roman romanenko i've seen some

148
00:06:38,469 --> 00:06:35,199
scheduling that shows possibly the

149
00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:38,479
russian multi-purpose

150
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:40,880
laboratory module might show up in the

151
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:43,840
spring time frame during

152
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:45,120
during your

153
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:46,960
cruise time on the space station and i

154
00:06:51,189 --> 00:06:48,960
wonder if that's if you guys are

155
00:06:59,110 --> 00:06:51,199
expecting that with i think the module

156
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:19,990
no model

157
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:21,909
actually docking of the new russian

158
00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:25,440
module is not planned until 2014 but

159
00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:27,440
certain parts of the structure will

160
00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:29,840
arrive on the russian progress vehicles

161
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:30,880
and

162
00:07:56,390 --> 00:07:32,880
will use them before the new module

163
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:05,909
a

164
00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:08,070
of course if the schedule uh

165
00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:10,560
held we probably would have a couple of

166
00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:12,720
space works planned and this was

167
00:08:15,749 --> 00:08:14,240
something would be something really good

168
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:15,759
for me because this is something that

169
00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:18,960
i've been getting ready for my entire

170
00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:21,840
space life getting ready for space works

171
00:08:27,670 --> 00:08:24,000
but unfortunately this is not probably

172
00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:30,309
thank you and i also had a question for

173
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:32,320
chris hadfield

174
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:34,240
towards the end of your stay you'll take

175
00:08:37,589 --> 00:08:36,560
command of the space station and given

176
00:08:38,949 --> 00:08:37,599
some of the

177
00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:38,959
comments you

178
00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:42,560
made as you were introducing yourself

179
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:44,959
what does this sort of mean for canada

180
00:08:49,590 --> 00:08:48,080
in a big picture sense to have

181
00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:49,600
um

182
00:10:07,590 --> 00:08:50,320
a

183
00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:07,600
to

184
00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:10,399
julie payet being the the main mission

185
00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:12,399
specialist or flight engineer on this on

186
00:10:15,910 --> 00:10:13,600
the shuttle

187
00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:15,920
bob thirst six months on station it

188
00:10:20,389 --> 00:10:18,240
almost forms if you were to plot it on a

189
00:10:23,269 --> 00:10:20,399
graph some sort of straight line of

190
00:10:24,949 --> 00:10:23,279
increased experience and responsibility

191
00:10:26,550 --> 00:10:24,959
and even though

192
00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:26,560
it's very hard to predict the future i

193
00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:28,640
think canada has done

194
00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:30,839
an admirable job of

195
00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:33,279
participating and where we can leading

196
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:35,279
in the world space program managed now

197
00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:37,680
through the canadian space agency and i

198
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:38,720
see

199
00:10:44,069 --> 00:10:41,760
this opportunity to work internationally

200
00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:44,079
to uh to help out with the best of my

201
00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:47,120
abilities as a continuation of that

202
00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:49,839
and when when neil armstrong walked on

203
00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:53,760
the moon back in 69 i was so inspired by

204
00:10:58,230 --> 00:10:56,240
this new human capability and even

205
00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:58,240
though the doors were all closed i

206
00:11:02,870 --> 00:10:59,839
thought someday

207
00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:02,880
maybe those doors will open and and a

208
00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:04,480
little canadian kid might have a chance

209
00:11:07,509 --> 00:11:06,399
to do that and and so i see what we're

210
00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:07,519
doing now

211
00:11:12,310 --> 00:11:10,640
as just a long hallway of doors that are

212
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:12,320
continuing to open

213
00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:13,760
uh to help

214
00:11:17,269 --> 00:11:14,880
both

215
00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:17,279
perhaps inspire and motivate

216
00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:19,120
young canadian kids and young kids all

217
00:11:23,269 --> 00:11:21,120
around the world in those same footsteps

218
00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:23,279
that neil and buzz put up there

219
00:11:32,949 --> 00:11:31,269
tom given your extensive medical

220
00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:32,959
background i would feel really good

221
00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:34,560
being on the space station and having

222
00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:35,600
you there

223
00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:37,200
i mean tell me how

224
00:11:41,829 --> 00:11:39,360
your medical background would translate

225
00:11:44,949 --> 00:11:41,839
on the space station what that skill set

226
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:44,959
brings to a long duration mission

227
00:11:48,389 --> 00:11:46,480
when i worked as a flight surgeon on the

228
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:48,399
mir for the mirror space station i

229
00:11:51,829 --> 00:11:49,760
wasn't on board

230
00:11:54,310 --> 00:11:51,839
but i supported the us astronauts that

231
00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:54,320
were up there i was extremely curious to

232
00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:56,480
experience what they're experiencing to

233
00:12:01,750 --> 00:11:59,279
better understand human physiology

234
00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:01,760
just to feel it on the inside there

235
00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:03,360
but

236
00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:04,480
the

237
00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:06,000
so i'm looking forward to getting back

238
00:12:08,629 --> 00:12:07,360
up there again

239
00:12:11,110 --> 00:12:08,639
to experience what it's like to be a

240
00:12:12,550 --> 00:12:11,120
human being for a long duration

241
00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:12,560
you undergo changes not just when you

242
00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:14,399
get there but for weeks and weeks and a

243
00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:17,600
month later so adding to

244
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:19,200
medical knowledge to the extent that i

245
00:12:22,629 --> 00:12:20,959
can for be able to come back as a

246
00:12:24,629 --> 00:12:22,639
physician talking to physicians who take

247
00:12:26,949 --> 00:12:24,639
care of astronauts

248
00:12:28,389 --> 00:12:26,959
and saying this is this is what

249
00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:28,399
we know by the science and this is what

250
00:12:32,389 --> 00:12:30,079
it feels like and this is the symptom

251
00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:32,399
complex of being in space i'm looking

252
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:34,800
forward to that um one thing is you know

253
00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:37,600
nasa has worked very hard on bringing

254
00:12:40,870 --> 00:12:39,839
the trauma center bringing really good

255
00:12:44,550 --> 00:12:40,880
medicine

256
00:12:45,590 --> 00:12:44,560
on the space station

257
00:12:47,590 --> 00:12:45,600
we can do that with someone with

258
00:12:49,509 --> 00:12:47,600
technology we can do it with putting

259
00:12:50,310 --> 00:12:49,519
experienced people up there

260
00:12:52,069 --> 00:12:50,320
but

261
00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:52,079
we're always looking at ways to getting

262
00:12:55,509 --> 00:12:53,920
even better medical judgment up there

263
00:12:57,269 --> 00:12:55,519
and in a small way i'm

264
00:12:58,550 --> 00:12:57,279
my medical judgment is what's going to

265
00:13:00,949 --> 00:12:58,560
add to the

266
00:13:02,629 --> 00:13:00,959
to the medical care on board so i want

267
00:13:06,069 --> 00:13:02,639
to be a part of

268
00:13:06,949 --> 00:13:06,079
getting that on board a spacecraft even

269
00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:06,959
more

270
00:13:09,990 --> 00:13:08,320
for a couple of reasons not only to

271
00:13:12,069 --> 00:13:10,000
enable

272
00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:12,079
exploration class missions

273
00:13:16,069 --> 00:13:14,079
which are not going to have the option

274
00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:16,079
of de-orbiting if a medical problem

275
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:18,240
comes up probably won't have enough

276
00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:20,880
equipment to do surgery although

277
00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:23,200
we're working on that somewhat

278
00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:25,040
but not only that but

279
00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:26,399
those kind of things were directly

280
00:13:31,670 --> 00:13:29,120
relatable to health care on earth and

281
00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:31,680
increasing health care not only to

282
00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:33,680
outposts and to

283
00:13:37,430 --> 00:13:35,360
underserved areas remote locations

284
00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:37,440
around the globe but one could consider

285
00:13:44,310 --> 00:13:38,240
a

286
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:44,320
we know to get in to see the doctor so

287
00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:47,120
all the earth benefits are huge i feel

288
00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:50,639
like and so i'm very excited about that

289
00:13:53,990 --> 00:13:52,320
you've got an extensive musical

290
00:13:55,670 --> 00:13:54,000
background and i think they're a variety

291
00:13:57,590 --> 00:13:55,680
of instruments up there in the space

292
00:13:59,030 --> 00:13:57,600
station planning anything or taking

293
00:14:00,470 --> 00:13:59,040
anything with you and

294
00:14:02,230 --> 00:14:00,480
what kind of music are you planning to

295
00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:02,240
listen to up there it turns out all

296
00:14:05,829 --> 00:14:04,000
three of us are musicians in our spare

297
00:14:08,710 --> 00:14:05,839
time uh

298
00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:08,720
most of us guitar based so and on board

299
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:09,920
space station there's a guitar a

300
00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:11,440
canadian guitar

301
00:14:15,110 --> 00:14:13,360
luckily enough made in vancouver but

302
00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:15,120
there's also a keyboard and most

303
00:14:18,389 --> 00:14:16,880
recently there's a ukulele on the space

304
00:14:19,189 --> 00:14:18,399
station so

305
00:14:21,670 --> 00:14:19,199
uh

306
00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:21,680
you know our job is is of course to work

307
00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:23,279
and keep the station healthy and get all

308
00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:24,880
the experiments done but we do have

309
00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:26,880
evenings and sometime on the weekends

310
00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:27,680
and

311
00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:30,079
just as we do on earth

312
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:31,680
astronauts have different hobbies and

313
00:14:36,389 --> 00:14:33,760
pastimes and

314
00:14:38,389 --> 00:14:36,399
mine is music and so the opportunity to

315
00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:38,399
play the songs that i know up there to

316
00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:40,639
record songs that i've written

317
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:42,560
i'm working with several musical

318
00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:44,560
organizations on earth

319
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:47,279
working nationally in canada to record a

320
00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:49,440
song along with with the band the

321
00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:51,760
barenaked ladies actually

322
00:14:57,509 --> 00:14:55,920
to uh it'll be in schools and choirs and

323
00:14:58,550 --> 00:14:57,519
high school orchestras and things all

324
00:15:02,069 --> 00:14:58,560
this year

325
00:15:03,910 --> 00:15:02,079
a song that we've written together so

326
00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:03,920
it's an extension really of

327
00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:06,639
communication we can talk in russian we

328
00:15:10,389 --> 00:15:08,000
can talk in french we can talk in

329
00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:10,399
english we can talk in music

330
00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:13,360
and it's a really fundamental human

331
00:15:18,310 --> 00:15:16,800
uh form of artistic communication and it

332
00:15:21,269 --> 00:15:18,320
touches people at a different level in a

333
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:21,279
different way and for me music is really

334
00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:23,199
important on earth and i'm

335
00:15:27,189 --> 00:15:24,880
really looking forward to the

336
00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:27,199
opportunity to float weightless by the

337
00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:28,959
huge cupola window

338
00:15:32,069 --> 00:15:31,199
uh playing and writing and recording

339
00:15:33,829 --> 00:15:32,079
music

340
00:15:36,550 --> 00:15:33,839
from that amazing new human vantage

341
00:15:40,949 --> 00:15:38,470
for for christopher tom earth

342
00:15:43,269 --> 00:15:40,959
observations i know it's a mandate on

343
00:15:45,590 --> 00:15:43,279
the space station but talk to me about

344
00:15:47,829 --> 00:15:45,600
what you will be looking for in your

345
00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:47,839
earth observations on your personal list

346
00:15:50,710 --> 00:15:49,040
and then

347
00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:50,720
what you're looking for scientifically

348
00:15:53,990 --> 00:15:52,639
as well

349
00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:54,000
i you know i

350
00:15:57,430 --> 00:15:55,839
don't want to speak for chris but he's a

351
00:15:59,110 --> 00:15:57,440
traveler and explorer on the earth as

352
00:16:00,790 --> 00:15:59,120
well as me and i would love to see a lot

353
00:16:02,470 --> 00:16:00,800
of those places i've been to uh from

354
00:16:05,110 --> 00:16:02,480
space and many places i haven't been

355
00:16:08,310 --> 00:16:05,120
which for me involves mountain ranges uh

356
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:08,320
in remote areas both at each pole as far

357
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:10,480
as our orbit will allow so i'm looking

358
00:16:13,509 --> 00:16:11,680
forward to that

359
00:16:14,790 --> 00:16:13,519
but

360
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:14,800
large

361
00:16:18,150 --> 00:16:17,120
climate events that occur i've heard

362
00:16:19,990 --> 00:16:18,160
about

363
00:16:23,030 --> 00:16:20,000
crew members being able to observe that

364
00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:23,040
photograph it to bring back

365
00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:25,839
the view to people on earth can have a

366
00:16:29,910 --> 00:16:28,160
huge impact on how people feel about the

367
00:16:31,110 --> 00:16:29,920
earth how they feel about processes that

368
00:16:32,949 --> 00:16:31,120
are occurring on the earth something you

369
00:16:35,269 --> 00:16:32,959
can't necessarily get with the with the

370
00:16:37,350 --> 00:16:35,279
satellite with the pre-planned uh

371
00:16:40,150 --> 00:16:37,360
series of photographs to be executed by

372
00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:40,160
a remote satellite so i'm

373
00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:41,680
looking forward to

374
00:16:45,110 --> 00:16:43,600
using my brain my eyes

375
00:16:47,030 --> 00:16:45,120
to see things both under the direction

376
00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:47,040
from the ground but also to

377
00:16:51,509 --> 00:16:48,560
see what i can pick out as to what's

378
00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:51,519
going on we have some wonderful

379
00:16:55,829 --> 00:16:53,759
satellites that take great earth images

380
00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:55,839
right now and google earth is as good a

381
00:17:00,550 --> 00:16:58,160
a record of that as possible

382
00:17:02,790 --> 00:17:00,560
but the the chance

383
00:17:04,309 --> 00:17:02,800
artistry that looking at the earth

384
00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:04,319
brings when you're outside on a space

385
00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:06,640
walk and you look at the earth

386
00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:08,160
it more than

387
00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:09,039
then

388
00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:12,640
your entire mind

389
00:17:18,309 --> 00:17:16,000
it is just an overwhelming beauty and

390
00:17:20,309 --> 00:17:18,319
once in a while uh some aspect of it

391
00:17:21,429 --> 00:17:20,319
we'll be able to capture with a camera

392
00:17:22,949 --> 00:17:21,439
not just

393
00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:22,959
the technical side of earth and the

394
00:17:26,789 --> 00:17:25,280
geography of earth but the the the

395
00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:26,799
beauty that comes from seeing earth

396
00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:28,480
through a different vantage point i'm

397
00:17:31,510 --> 00:17:30,720
flying a japanese experiment

398
00:17:33,029 --> 00:17:31,520
that

399
00:17:34,789 --> 00:17:33,039
mirrors their

400
00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:34,799
earthbound

401
00:17:38,789 --> 00:17:36,720
tradition of looking at the moon as a

402
00:17:41,110 --> 00:17:38,799
reflection in liquid

403
00:17:42,950 --> 00:17:41,120
through artistry and description

404
00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:42,960
and a japanese artist came up with the

405
00:17:46,070 --> 00:17:44,559
idea of looking at the world through

406
00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:46,080
reflections in liquid and i have a

407
00:17:50,630 --> 00:17:48,080
payload that will float water droplets

408
00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:50,640
and use a high definition video camera

409
00:17:54,950 --> 00:17:52,400
looking at the earth's horizon through

410
00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:54,960
the various windows of the space station

411
00:17:59,430 --> 00:17:56,080
to

412
00:18:00,390 --> 00:17:59,440
see the earth as an artistic human place

413
00:18:04,549 --> 00:18:00,400
not

414
00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:04,559
as a fact or places that have been or

415
00:18:07,350 --> 00:18:06,000
places i want to go and of course i'm

416
00:18:09,350 --> 00:18:07,360
interested in those

417
00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:09,360
but the bigger human side of it of the

418
00:18:13,270 --> 00:18:11,280
artistry and beauty of it i'm really

419
00:18:15,669 --> 00:18:13,280
looking forward to the wealth and the

420
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:15,679
privilege of time during our six months

421
00:18:22,549 --> 00:18:16,960
to see the world

422
00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:24,710
he's here at the newsroom okay with that

423
00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:31,909
i wonder if you might discuss what your

424
00:18:36,630 --> 00:18:34,000
and even the timing of the

425
00:18:40,390 --> 00:18:36,640
commercial us commercial

426
00:18:42,310 --> 00:18:40,400
cargo craft you anticipate during your

427
00:18:43,909 --> 00:18:42,320
six months

428
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:43,919
i know the schedule's changed i just

429
00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:45,760
kind of wonder how it looks now actually

430
00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:47,760
mark we just came from a meeting uh with

431
00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:49,840
our flight directors just prior to

432
00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:51,840
coming over to speak with you

433
00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:53,280
um

434
00:18:57,510 --> 00:18:55,679
of course there's a combination of the

435
00:18:59,510 --> 00:18:57,520
uh the well-proven

436
00:19:00,870 --> 00:18:59,520
uh vehicles that are coming up and then

437
00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:00,880
the newer ones

438
00:19:05,830 --> 00:19:03,600
uh we have a succession of uh

439
00:19:07,029 --> 00:19:05,840
progresses and and of course the soyuz

440
00:19:09,270 --> 00:19:07,039
is rotating

441
00:19:10,630 --> 00:19:09,280
um when we arrive all of the russian

442
00:19:13,590 --> 00:19:10,640
ports will be full there'll be two

443
00:19:16,390 --> 00:19:13,600
progresses there as well as the soyuz

444
00:19:19,510 --> 00:19:16,400
and then not too long after we arrive

445
00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:19,520
on we launched december 5th of course

446
00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:21,440
there is scheduled to have a dragon come

447
00:19:24,470 --> 00:19:22,720
up

448
00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:24,480
about in the order of six weeks after we

449
00:19:26,789 --> 00:19:25,520
get there

450
00:19:31,029 --> 00:19:26,799
and

451
00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:31,039
we're expecting an atv uh towards the

452
00:19:34,310 --> 00:19:32,400
end into april

453
00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:34,320
and then the last piece is the is the

454
00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:36,640
absolutely new commercial vehicle coming

455
00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:39,600
up which is orbital cygnus and the date

456
00:19:44,630 --> 00:19:41,360
on that of course is still in flux it's

457
00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:44,640
very hard to get to space and they're

458
00:19:48,549 --> 00:19:45,840
trying to make sure they do everything

459
00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:48,559
right and we don't know the current date

460
00:19:52,870 --> 00:19:50,400
we're looking to see it towards the end

461
00:19:55,350 --> 00:19:52,880
of our of our six months we land

462
00:19:58,150 --> 00:19:55,360
middle of may uh sometime and somewhere

463
00:20:00,630 --> 00:19:58,160
in the last uh quarter of our time we're

464
00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:00,640
expecting to see cygnus come up as well

465
00:20:03,830 --> 00:20:02,640
and the atv will be in around that same

466
00:20:05,590 --> 00:20:03,840
time frame

467
00:20:07,909 --> 00:20:05,600
so that's the signa the sequence that

468
00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:07,919
we're uh we're expecting

469
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:09,280
but it's

470
00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:10,720
it's not an airline it's it's a

471
00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:12,559
complicated uh

472
00:20:18,390 --> 00:20:15,840
step-by-step stage uh

473
00:20:20,390 --> 00:20:18,400
flow and as a result we've been trained

474
00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:20,400
all the crew members to uh to take care

475
00:20:25,270 --> 00:20:22,240
of each one of those vehicles whether

476
00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:27,110
okay with that now we will switch to

477
00:20:30,789 --> 00:20:28,799
take questions from canadian media

478
00:20:37,590 --> 00:20:30,799
located at the canadian space agency

479
00:20:41,909 --> 00:20:39,990
boschman from ctv news high uh hi chris

480
00:20:43,669 --> 00:20:41,919
hadfield i wanted to ask you when this

481
00:20:45,990 --> 00:20:43,679
was announced two years ago you talked

482
00:20:47,510 --> 00:20:46,000
about the challenges of preparing for

483
00:20:49,270 --> 00:20:47,520
emission that would be much longer than

484
00:20:52,630 --> 00:20:49,280
the missions you've done in the past

485
00:20:56,070 --> 00:20:54,630
the training uh

486
00:20:58,710 --> 00:20:56,080
is a really

487
00:21:01,669 --> 00:20:58,720
fascinating process actually

488
00:21:02,390 --> 00:21:01,679
you spent so much of it alone

489
00:21:04,070 --> 00:21:02,400
because

490
00:21:06,230 --> 00:21:04,080
the the skills that are necessary are

491
00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:06,240
skills you have to gather yourself

492
00:21:09,590 --> 00:21:07,280
you have to

493
00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:09,600
fully understand how to fix everything

494
00:21:12,549 --> 00:21:10,480
say

495
00:21:14,390 --> 00:21:12,559
inside the japanese laboratory or the

496
00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:14,400
european laboratory this morning i had a

497
00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:16,960
two hour class on refreshing all of my

498
00:21:21,350 --> 00:21:19,120
knowledge of how to fix the complex

499
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:21,360
computer and cooling and thermal control

500
00:21:24,549 --> 00:21:23,760
systems in the european laboratory

501
00:21:28,390 --> 00:21:24,559
and

502
00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:28,400
whole crew to each one of those so for

503
00:21:32,789 --> 00:21:30,480
years in advance of the flight you are

504
00:21:35,270 --> 00:21:32,799
traveling from simulator to simulator

505
00:21:36,310 --> 00:21:35,280
and classroom to classroom learning all

506
00:21:38,390 --> 00:21:36,320
of

507
00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:38,400
what what might be viewed in an olympic

508
00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:40,720
comparison as the compulsories

509
00:21:45,669 --> 00:21:42,960
before you get to any of the freestyle

510
00:21:47,590 --> 00:21:45,679
and now for the last six months or nine

511
00:21:50,230 --> 00:21:47,600
months we've really started to move in

512
00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:50,240
lock step as a crew where it makes more

513
00:21:54,390 --> 00:21:52,080
sense now that all of us have the

514
00:21:56,149 --> 00:21:54,400
requisite knowledge and proven skills

515
00:21:58,789 --> 00:21:56,159
that now we can start functioning both

516
00:22:01,669 --> 00:21:58,799
in this in the station as a crew for

517
00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:01,679
emergencies and day-to-day ops and maybe

518
00:22:05,270 --> 00:22:04,000
even more critically in the soyuz as a

519
00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:05,280
crew of three

520
00:22:08,230 --> 00:22:06,400
because

521
00:22:10,549 --> 00:22:08,240
that's the most dynamic phase of flight

522
00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:10,559
things can happen the most

523
00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:12,320
the quickest that we really have to be

524
00:22:17,029 --> 00:22:13,840
able to react to

525
00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:17,039
and it's maybe like building a pyramid

526
00:22:21,270 --> 00:22:18,960
all of those huge

527
00:22:23,430 --> 00:22:21,280
area of skills all getting focused more

528
00:22:26,710 --> 00:22:23,440
and more with the very apex of our

529
00:22:29,110 --> 00:22:26,720
training pyramid being um december 5th

530
00:22:31,510 --> 00:22:29,120
when we climb into the soyuz on the same

531
00:22:34,549 --> 00:22:31,520
launch pad that yuri gagarin climbed

532
00:22:36,630 --> 00:22:34,559
into his spaceship and the three of us

533
00:22:37,669 --> 00:22:36,640
light the fires underneath and and leave

534
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:37,679
earth

535
00:22:45,350 --> 00:22:41,840
it's it's a complicated a demanding

536
00:22:47,430 --> 00:22:45,360
uh long process but a necessary process

537
00:22:49,029 --> 00:22:47,440
and one that i think

538
00:22:50,549 --> 00:22:49,039
turns out

539
00:22:55,990 --> 00:22:50,559
a group of people that are really ready

540
00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:57,750
mr hatfield this is max harold from the

541
00:23:01,669 --> 00:22:59,520
montreal gazette i wonder if you could

542
00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:01,679
uh continuing along that line if you

543
00:23:05,669 --> 00:23:03,600
could tell us what some of the toughest

544
00:23:07,830 --> 00:23:05,679
parts of your training have been and

545
00:23:11,110 --> 00:23:07,840
what are the most riskiest scenarios you

546
00:23:15,430 --> 00:23:11,120
prepare for such as i guess a fire or

547
00:23:19,830 --> 00:23:18,390
the the toughest parts of the training

548
00:23:24,470 --> 00:23:19,840
i think

549
00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:24,480
your head over all that time

550
00:23:29,669 --> 00:23:27,600
you you go to uh cologne germany to

551
00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:29,679
study on the european part and of course

552
00:23:34,630 --> 00:23:32,880
they very ardently and and uh

553
00:23:37,110 --> 00:23:34,640
conscientiously teach you everything you

554
00:23:38,630 --> 00:23:37,120
need to know and then a year later you

555
00:23:40,070 --> 00:23:38,640
come back for a refresher and another

556
00:23:41,350 --> 00:23:40,080
year later you come back for a refresher

557
00:23:44,070 --> 00:23:41,360
and then the next time you see it you're

558
00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:44,080
in orbit and how do you filter that in

559
00:23:47,909 --> 00:23:45,840
your mind how do you keep track of the

560
00:23:49,590 --> 00:23:47,919
really critical items how do you keep

561
00:23:52,149 --> 00:23:49,600
them fresh in your head

562
00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:52,159
you know i build a one pager okay when

563
00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:53,600
i'm going to think about the columbus

564
00:23:57,269 --> 00:23:55,200
module i have this one piece of paper

565
00:23:59,269 --> 00:23:57,279
and i've tried to list all of the mental

566
00:24:00,950 --> 00:23:59,279
reminders so that i can then picture

567
00:24:02,950 --> 00:24:00,960
myself back three years ago in the

568
00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:02,960
classroom in cologne remembering all

569
00:24:06,630 --> 00:24:04,480
those things i needed to know and that's

570
00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:06,640
true for the the canadarm2 and for

571
00:24:10,230 --> 00:24:08,000
spacewalking

572
00:24:11,990 --> 00:24:10,240
trying to keep it all in your brain for

573
00:24:14,310 --> 00:24:12,000
that length of time so that when the

574
00:24:16,630 --> 00:24:14,320
moment comes

575
00:24:18,710 --> 00:24:16,640
you can remember what that instructor

576
00:24:21,750 --> 00:24:18,720
told you that day in

577
00:24:23,350 --> 00:24:21,760
sevastopol in the ukraine that makes all

578
00:24:25,110 --> 00:24:23,360
the difference between success failure

579
00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:25,120
or life or death

580
00:24:29,909 --> 00:24:27,600
and as you mentioned the the three

581
00:24:32,310 --> 00:24:29,919
leading dangers that we have

582
00:24:33,830 --> 00:24:32,320
are a depressurization

583
00:24:36,470 --> 00:24:33,840
uh a fire

584
00:24:39,990 --> 00:24:36,480
or a toxic atmosphere caused by some

585
00:24:42,789 --> 00:24:40,000
other cause and we train in in great uh

586
00:24:45,269 --> 00:24:42,799
detail as well as enough repetition that

587
00:24:47,190 --> 00:24:45,279
it becomes sort of automatic

588
00:24:49,350 --> 00:24:47,200
we train individually to understand it

589
00:24:51,350 --> 00:24:49,360
all and then we train as a crew

590
00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:51,360
and in our soyuz sims we can be sitting

591
00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:53,840
there and and the soyuz sim actually

592
00:24:57,190 --> 00:24:55,520
fills up with smoke

593
00:24:59,110 --> 00:24:57,200
we're wearing our pressure suits and

594
00:25:00,789 --> 00:24:59,120
smoke starts pouring out of our

595
00:25:01,909 --> 00:25:00,799
instrument panel on the soyuz in the

596
00:25:03,830 --> 00:25:01,919
simulator

597
00:25:05,990 --> 00:25:03,840
and you immediately of course have to

598
00:25:07,430 --> 00:25:06,000
react shut off all the power sources get

599
00:25:10,230 --> 00:25:07,440
your mask closed get on the ship's

600
00:25:11,909 --> 00:25:10,240
oxygen and you the smoke gets so thick

601
00:25:15,830 --> 00:25:11,919
you can't even see the instrument panel

602
00:25:17,430 --> 00:25:15,840
in front of you really high fidelity

603
00:25:19,350 --> 00:25:17,440
simulation so that we end up with all

604
00:25:21,430 --> 00:25:19,360
the right responses learning how to

605
00:25:22,310 --> 00:25:21,440
communicate with each other so that we

606
00:25:24,070 --> 00:25:22,320
can

607
00:25:25,830 --> 00:25:24,080
get rid of the source of the fire clear

608
00:25:27,269 --> 00:25:25,840
the atmosphere out assess the health of

609
00:25:28,870 --> 00:25:27,279
the vehicle and do the most logical

610
00:25:31,430 --> 00:25:28,880
thing that comes next

611
00:25:32,630 --> 00:25:31,440
and if you took just a regular person

612
00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:32,640
off the street and gave them the

613
00:25:36,870 --> 00:25:34,320
circumstances it would be just way too

614
00:25:39,350 --> 00:25:36,880
much to ask but after the years of

615
00:25:41,510 --> 00:25:39,360
preparation and the chance to prepare

616
00:25:42,950 --> 00:25:41,520
for it together you can then go

617
00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:42,960
confidently

618
00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:45,440
uh almost comfortably into what could be

619
00:25:49,590 --> 00:25:47,440
a pretty hairy situation

620
00:25:50,789 --> 00:25:49,600
uh with the knowledge that that you've

621
00:25:52,789 --> 00:25:50,799
gained over all these years and

622
00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:52,799
hopefully are retaining somewhere in

623
00:25:57,830 --> 00:25:55,440
your your frontal lobes so that we can

624
00:26:02,950 --> 00:25:57,840
react appropriately whether things go

625
00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:05,110
mr hatfield to me again from the gazette

626
00:26:08,549 --> 00:26:06,720
i was wondering you were being rather

627
00:26:11,669 --> 00:26:08,559
philosophical before i was wondering if

628
00:26:13,430 --> 00:26:11,679
your preparation for your mission gives

629
00:26:15,190 --> 00:26:13,440
you a different perspective on issues

630
00:26:17,669 --> 00:26:15,200
here on earth such as

631
00:26:20,470 --> 00:26:17,679
violence in libya and even separatism in

632
00:26:26,549 --> 00:26:22,630
you know when i'm when i'm looking at

633
00:26:29,830 --> 00:26:28,549
it's it's possible to get really excited

634
00:26:32,549 --> 00:26:29,840
about the things that have happened in

635
00:26:35,750 --> 00:26:32,559
the last 20 minutes or the last week or

636
00:26:39,510 --> 00:26:36,710
but

637
00:26:41,830 --> 00:26:39,520
i try and and not to overreact or to

638
00:26:43,990 --> 00:26:41,840
under react i try and look at things in

639
00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:44,000
the context of the big picture and

640
00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:45,760
that's true for

641
00:26:49,909 --> 00:26:47,600
for political events for people

642
00:26:51,510 --> 00:26:49,919
misbehaving uh doing things that people

643
00:26:52,470 --> 00:26:51,520
just shouldn't do

644
00:26:53,909 --> 00:26:52,480
um

645
00:26:56,630 --> 00:26:53,919
for uh

646
00:26:58,710 --> 00:26:56,640
natural disasters that happen for the

647
00:27:00,310 --> 00:26:58,720
wonderful achievements that happen and

648
00:27:01,430 --> 00:27:00,320
for the deaths of some of the great

649
00:27:03,110 --> 00:27:01,440
people

650
00:27:04,950 --> 00:27:03,120
at a personal and a professional level

651
00:27:08,789 --> 00:27:04,960
that that go by

652
00:27:10,950 --> 00:27:08,799
and i think one of the benefits of

653
00:27:12,549 --> 00:27:10,960
the great privilege that we have of

654
00:27:15,190 --> 00:27:12,559
leaving the earth

655
00:27:17,110 --> 00:27:15,200
and going around our entire planet

656
00:27:18,630 --> 00:27:17,120
in about the time it takes to run this

657
00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:18,640
press conference

658
00:27:22,230 --> 00:27:20,880
is that it does give you

659
00:27:24,149 --> 00:27:22,240
uh

660
00:27:26,710 --> 00:27:24,159
a different perspective

661
00:27:28,549 --> 00:27:26,720
you see the world as one place

662
00:27:30,630 --> 00:27:28,559
it's almost like looking at your family

663
00:27:31,830 --> 00:27:30,640
and you know you have some relatives

664
00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:31,840
that that

665
00:27:34,789 --> 00:27:33,120
you know you're a little embarrassed

666
00:27:36,230 --> 00:27:34,799
about her that don't behave properly or

667
00:27:38,310 --> 00:27:36,240
that have different ideas in you and

668
00:27:40,789 --> 00:27:38,320
it's a big fractious group but you're

669
00:27:42,070 --> 00:27:40,799
all the same family and you need to

670
00:27:43,990 --> 00:27:42,080
figure out how to make it all work

671
00:27:47,029 --> 00:27:44,000
together and

672
00:27:48,789 --> 00:27:47,039
so many people that that focus i mean we

673
00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:48,799
we don't do everything right on earth by

674
00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:50,080
any means

675
00:27:52,950 --> 00:27:50,799
but

676
00:27:54,549 --> 00:27:52,960
the opportunity to see it from a

677
00:27:57,430 --> 00:27:54,559
slightly removed vantage point

678
00:27:59,350 --> 00:27:57,440
physically i think has a real nice

679
00:28:01,510 --> 00:27:59,360
effect on our ability to look at it

680
00:28:04,070 --> 00:28:01,520
philosophically and with a little more

681
00:28:06,950 --> 00:28:04,080
global view and it's a perspective that

682
00:28:09,430 --> 00:28:06,960
we do our very best to to share and to

683
00:28:11,830 --> 00:28:09,440
spread and hopefully with increased

684
00:28:13,190 --> 00:28:11,840
capability to fly to space one that more

685
00:28:13,909 --> 00:28:13,200
and more people

686
00:28:20,870 --> 00:28:13,919
will

687
00:28:24,149 --> 00:28:22,630
again just one more question chris about

688
00:28:25,669 --> 00:28:24,159
you talked about the memorial for neil

689
00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:25,679
armstrong this morning just tell me

690
00:28:29,830 --> 00:28:27,600
about how much he influenced your career

691
00:28:31,909 --> 00:28:29,840
choice

692
00:28:34,950 --> 00:28:31,919
uh well i think every one of the

693
00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:34,960
astronauts even the ones born after neil

694
00:28:38,149 --> 00:28:36,880
and buzz and when mike collins was

695
00:28:39,830 --> 00:28:38,159
orbiting the moon when they made that

696
00:28:42,549 --> 00:28:39,840
historic flight

697
00:28:45,510 --> 00:28:42,559
will tell you uh that this was a

698
00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:45,520
a watershed moment in exploration and of

699
00:28:50,549 --> 00:28:48,240
course in in space exploration

700
00:28:53,269 --> 00:28:50,559
uh for me personally

701
00:28:56,149 --> 00:28:53,279
i was nine years old it was july so i

702
00:28:59,269 --> 00:28:56,159
was at a summer cottage and that that

703
00:29:00,389 --> 00:28:59,279
day that july day i was just about to

704
00:29:04,310 --> 00:29:00,399
turn 10

705
00:29:06,549 --> 00:29:04,320
becoming aware of the world and to see

706
00:29:08,310 --> 00:29:06,559
something that was not only

707
00:29:10,149 --> 00:29:08,320
really hard but something that was

708
00:29:12,149 --> 00:29:10,159
completely optional

709
00:29:14,470 --> 00:29:12,159
we weren't doing this because we were

710
00:29:17,269 --> 00:29:14,480
forced to we weren't doing this

711
00:29:18,710 --> 00:29:17,279
because it was a natural progression of

712
00:29:21,190 --> 00:29:18,720
what we were doing we were doing this

713
00:29:22,870 --> 00:29:21,200
because we just barely could for the

714
00:29:25,190 --> 00:29:22,880
very first time

715
00:29:27,350 --> 00:29:25,200
and it took us right to the limits

716
00:29:29,269 --> 00:29:27,360
brought out the very best of what people

717
00:29:31,830 --> 00:29:29,279
could do i found that hugely

718
00:29:34,870 --> 00:29:31,840
motivational and of course the fact that

719
00:29:37,990 --> 00:29:34,880
it was uh successful that that somehow

720
00:29:39,750 --> 00:29:38,000
despite the apollo one fire despite the

721
00:29:41,830 --> 00:29:39,760
problems they were having trying to do

722
00:29:42,870 --> 00:29:41,840
the same thing in the soviet union all

723
00:29:45,669 --> 00:29:42,880
of that

724
00:29:47,430 --> 00:29:45,679
somehow magically within our arbitrary

725
00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:47,440
timeline that president kennedy had

726
00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:49,840
issued of the end of the decade all

727
00:29:54,549 --> 00:29:52,000
managed to come true through great human

728
00:29:56,389 --> 00:29:54,559
ingenuity and capability was immensely

729
00:29:58,710 --> 00:29:56,399
inspiring not just

730
00:30:00,389 --> 00:29:58,720
in the united states but for me in

731
00:30:02,470 --> 00:30:00,399
southern ontario and for people all

732
00:30:04,230 --> 00:30:02,480
around the world and

733
00:30:06,310 --> 00:30:04,240
that night

734
00:30:08,389 --> 00:30:06,320
i decided boy i'm going to grow up and

735
00:30:10,710 --> 00:30:08,399
be something i want to be that

736
00:30:11,669 --> 00:30:10,720
that is a wonderful thing to be part of

737
00:30:15,590 --> 00:30:11,679
and

738
00:30:17,269 --> 00:30:15,600
walking on the moon but we are still

739
00:30:20,310 --> 00:30:17,279
doing something that is very new in the

740
00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:20,320
human experience and as astronauts and

741
00:30:25,510 --> 00:30:23,440
cosmonauts we speak with students across

742
00:30:27,350 --> 00:30:25,520
our own countries and around the world

743
00:30:30,230 --> 00:30:27,360
and that same

744
00:30:32,389 --> 00:30:30,240
uh light bulb coming on and the new

745
00:30:34,230 --> 00:30:32,399
realization that the horizons can be

746
00:30:36,149 --> 00:30:34,240
moved back and that you can do something

747
00:30:38,630 --> 00:30:36,159
that is new in the human experience

748
00:30:41,590 --> 00:30:38,640
using your own ingenuity and creativity

749
00:30:43,990 --> 00:30:41,600
for us to be able to subsequently carry

750
00:30:47,430 --> 00:30:44,000
on that that uh

751
00:30:49,590 --> 00:30:47,440
that mantle of

752
00:30:51,430 --> 00:30:49,600
inspiration is is something that really

753
00:30:55,029 --> 00:30:51,440
