12 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:51,269 okay 13 00:09:51,279 --> 00:10:21,509 i think 14 00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:35,269 yes 15 00:10:35,279 --> 00:11:48,069 uh 16 00:13:44,230 --> 00:12:43,590 so 17 00:13:44,240 --> 00:14:11,189 right now 18 00:14:11,199 --> 00:14:24,790 oh 19 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:50,150 yes 20 00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:52,710 bill here in baikonur on a sunday 21 00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:55,440 uh this pad has not seen a manned soyuz 22 00:15:00,310 --> 00:14:58,320 launch for 28 years today a beehive of 23 00:15:01,750 --> 00:15:00,320 activity your reaction to the rollout 24 00:15:03,990 --> 00:15:01,760 and what lies ahead over the next two 25 00:15:05,829 --> 00:15:04,000 days it's been an absolutely beautiful 26 00:15:08,069 --> 00:15:05,839 day for the roll out today the weather 27 00:15:10,389 --> 00:15:08,079 is just perfect 28 00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:10,399 watching the sunrise here on the rocket 29 00:15:14,310 --> 00:15:12,800 is just phenomenal to see this 30 00:15:15,990 --> 00:15:14,320 i look at the launch pad i look at the 31 00:15:17,430 --> 00:15:16,000 preparation i look at the teams here 32 00:15:19,110 --> 00:15:17,440 that are getting ready to go launch this 33 00:15:20,710 --> 00:15:19,120 rocket and i just have the utmost 34 00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:20,720 respect for them and the work they're 35 00:15:24,389 --> 00:15:22,240 they're doing to get this rocket ready 36 00:15:27,670 --> 00:15:24,399 to go to the space station 37 00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:27,680 two pads now in working in tandem for uh 38 00:15:32,230 --> 00:15:30,000 not only manned soyuz operations but uh 39 00:15:35,829 --> 00:15:32,240 progress launches and other launches 40 00:15:37,350 --> 00:15:35,839 that rose cosmos has on its docket um 41 00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:37,360 how about the workload you've talked to 42 00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:39,440 the russians how are they handling them 43 00:15:43,430 --> 00:15:41,440 i mean they're doing very good it's a 44 00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:43,440 busy time we've got this launch here and 45 00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:45,360 then we'll have the progress launch and 46 00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:47,600 then follow that with another soyuz 47 00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:50,160 launch and a landing in there and an eva 48 00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:52,240 so if you look at this this time frame 49 00:15:55,189 --> 00:15:53,440 on board space station it's a pretty 50 00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:55,199 pretty busy time 51 00:15:58,870 --> 00:15:56,800 again the teams have done a tremendous 52 00:16:00,790 --> 00:15:58,880 job of sorting through things to figure 53 00:16:02,870 --> 00:16:00,800 out how to work in the eva we've got the 54 00:16:05,990 --> 00:16:02,880 dragon undocking also during this time 55 00:16:08,949 --> 00:16:06,000 frame and the dragon return as well as 56 00:16:10,389 --> 00:16:08,959 this launch so it's a dynamic time but 57 00:16:12,150 --> 00:16:10,399 but space station is still doing a 58 00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:12,160 tremendous amount of research lots of 59 00:16:16,069 --> 00:16:14,320 investigations going on you know on this 60 00:16:18,550 --> 00:16:16,079 soyuz here that sits on the launch pad 61 00:16:20,629 --> 00:16:18,560 there'll be some madoka fish launched up 62 00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:20,639 to the space station and those will 63 00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:22,639 they'll be housed in an aquarium on 64 00:16:26,949 --> 00:16:24,560 board the space station and they'll give 65 00:16:28,790 --> 00:16:26,959 us another chance to see another animal 66 00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:28,800 operate in the microgravity environment 67 00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:30,399 and see what we can learn from that from 68 00:16:34,629 --> 00:16:32,720 a research standpoint so busy time 69 00:16:36,389 --> 00:16:34,639 operationally lots of stuff going on but 70 00:16:38,150 --> 00:16:36,399 also lots of great research being done 71 00:16:39,670 --> 00:16:38,160 on board the space station that final 72 00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:39,680 question bill 73 00:16:43,350 --> 00:16:41,680 adding this eva for sonny williams and 74 00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:43,360 aki hoshide up on the station on 75 00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:45,040 november 1st to 76 00:16:48,949 --> 00:16:47,600 basically re-perform the cooling channel 77 00:16:50,790 --> 00:16:48,959 on the station 78 00:16:52,389 --> 00:16:50,800 in addition to all this visiting vehicle 79 00:16:54,710 --> 00:16:52,399 traffic that is just almost like an air 80 00:16:55,829 --> 00:16:54,720 traffic controller at an airport would 81 00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:55,839 face 82 00:16:58,629 --> 00:16:57,600 is this the new normal for the space 83 00:17:00,389 --> 00:16:58,639 station 84 00:17:02,310 --> 00:17:00,399 you know again i think in space you got 85 00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:02,320 to be prepared you got to be flexible to 86 00:17:06,390 --> 00:17:04,559 deal with what what you get you know 87 00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:06,400 it's a tribute to the team they saw this 88 00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:08,000 problem in the cooling system and they 89 00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:10,559 worked out a very effective way to go 90 00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:12,400 start troubleshooting and isolating that 91 00:17:15,750 --> 00:17:14,480 potential problem with a cooling system 92 00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:15,760 you know we didn't have to do it right 93 00:17:18,949 --> 00:17:17,199 now we had some time we could do it 94 00:17:20,549 --> 00:17:18,959 later but this is probably the right 95 00:17:22,710 --> 00:17:20,559 time to get it done to make sure that we 96 00:17:25,029 --> 00:17:22,720 keep station functional so again the 97 00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:25,039 teams balance a lot of objectives a lot 98 00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:26,959 of different things they figure out the 99 00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:28,720 right thing to do at the right time and 100 00:17:33,669 --> 00:17:31,200 put it in place the planners in houston 101 00:17:35,350 --> 00:17:33,679 the support people here in russia you 102 00:17:37,270 --> 00:17:35,360 know they look at this as an integrated 103 00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:37,280 activity and they find the best way to 104 00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:38,960 put things together and move forward so 105 00:17:43,190 --> 00:17:41,360 again i think as you see us learning to 106 00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:43,200 really live and operate in space this is 107 00:17:48,630 --> 00:17:44,559 probably the way it's going to be in the 108 00:17:54,310 --> 00:17:51,270 bob banking nasa's chief astronaut bob 109 00:17:55,830 --> 00:17:54,320 uh here in baikonur um soyuz ready to go 110 00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:55,840 ready to take kevin and his russian 111 00:17:59,669 --> 00:17:57,760 crewmates to orbit certainly uh you've 112 00:18:01,830 --> 00:17:59,679 talked to kevin over the last several 113 00:18:03,430 --> 00:18:01,840 days how is he doing how is the final 114 00:18:06,630 --> 00:18:03,440 stage of training 115 00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:06,640 entire cruise going on just excellent 116 00:18:11,029 --> 00:18:08,720 that we spent yesterday morning going 117 00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:11,039 over the final search and rescue plan as 118 00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:12,880 well as the ballistic profile so that 119 00:18:17,190 --> 00:18:15,120 the crew had all the final information 120 00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:17,200 and they had no questions and everything 121 00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:19,120 proceeded well so kevin's doing well i 122 00:18:23,830 --> 00:18:21,200 spent a couple hours discussing the 123 00:18:25,590 --> 00:18:23,840 mission itself and his role as he gets 124 00:18:27,430 --> 00:18:25,600 on board space station and potentially 125 00:18:29,350 --> 00:18:27,440 prepares for both a spacewalk and the 126 00:18:31,029 --> 00:18:29,360 release of the dragon spacecraft so he's 127 00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:31,039 looking forward to it i thought it was 128 00:18:35,190 --> 00:18:32,640 going to be my next question launching 129 00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:35,200 into one of the busiest weeks first 130 00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:38,080 weeks for a new expedition crew member 131 00:18:40,789 --> 00:18:40,080 that we've seen 132 00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:40,799 how 133 00:18:45,510 --> 00:18:43,120 can the time possibly be balanced to get 134 00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:45,520 kevin prepared to tackle this right 135 00:18:49,669 --> 00:18:47,679 right out of the box we've done several 136 00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:49,679 special things to try to get kevin as 137 00:18:54,630 --> 00:18:52,000 prepared as possible we had joe acaba 138 00:18:56,789 --> 00:18:54,640 the most recently returning soyuz space 139 00:18:59,190 --> 00:18:56,799 station crew member spend some time with 140 00:19:01,510 --> 00:18:59,200 kevin in star city when he came back for 141 00:19:03,430 --> 00:19:01,520 his landing ceremony his post flight 142 00:19:05,190 --> 00:19:03,440 ceremony that was really good for kevin 143 00:19:07,270 --> 00:19:05,200 to get some of the handover activities 144 00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:07,280 handled between him and joe on the 145 00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:08,960 ground prior to arriving on space 146 00:19:13,669 --> 00:19:11,360 station kevin's got a series of 147 00:19:15,669 --> 00:19:13,679 procedures in his hands to review in 148 00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:15,679 preparation for a potential upcoming 149 00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:17,200 spacewalk so that's another thing that 150 00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:19,440 we've done to try to best prepare him to 151 00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:21,919 jump into this very busy time so 152 00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:24,400 the combination of that and the uh the 153 00:19:27,190 --> 00:19:26,320 change in the uh return date for the 154 00:19:29,510 --> 00:19:27,200 crew 155 00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:29,520 for sunny anaki and uh and yuri when 156 00:19:33,669 --> 00:19:31,760 they return on the 19th of november i 157 00:19:35,669 --> 00:19:33,679 believe is what's up per the schedule 158 00:19:37,270 --> 00:19:35,679 right now all that has put us in a
