1
00:00:09,589 --> 00:00:07,269
okay well welcome to the 3334 change of

2
00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:09,599
command ceremony today here on the good

3
00:00:13,270 --> 00:00:10,480
ship

4
00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:13,280
international space station

5
00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:15,360
we're going to hand over today a command

6
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:17,920
from myself to kevin ford

7
00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:20,800
i just wanted to reflect a couple things

8
00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:22,960
about our time up here and just time in

9
00:00:26,230 --> 00:00:24,480
history

10
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:26,240
sort of was brought to our attention on

11
00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:29,039
the 55th anniversary of sputnik that

12
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:30,960
that was sort of a cool event

13
00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:32,960
that we actually launched satellites

14
00:00:36,630 --> 00:00:34,480
from the japanese portion of the space

15
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:36,640
station on that day so i got to thinking

16
00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:39,120
about what's been going on in the last

17
00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:40,800
couple years

18
00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:42,879
about 100 years ago the girl scouts were

19
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:45,280
founded oreos were founded

20
00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:46,640
so those are significant events and a

21
00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:48,320
lot of other really cool things happened

22
00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:50,320
all over the world at that point in time

23
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:51,760
as well

24
00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:53,840
national parks were founded

25
00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:55,840
a lot of great things all over the world

26
00:01:02,790 --> 00:00:58,640
including aviation started too

27
00:01:04,789 --> 00:01:02,800
50 years ago i mentioned already sputnik

28
00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:04,799
was pretty major event for all of us

29
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:07,040
that got us here today

30
00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:08,960
25 years ago

31
00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:11,600
aki just graduated from high school

32
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:14,159
yuri was flying airplanes and i in the

33
00:01:18,789 --> 00:01:16,560
united states became legal drinking age

34
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:18,799
so a bunch of interesting half things

35
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:21,280
happened 25 years ago

36
00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:24,000
10 years ago a little over 10 years ago

37
00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:25,439
people became living on this

38
00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:27,200
international space station

39
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:29,439
for a permanent presence

40
00:01:34,069 --> 00:01:31,280
and um

41
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:34,079
we are honored to be uh fulfilling that

42
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:37,439
dream and living that dream right now

43
00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:38,159
so

44
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:40,560
i just wonder what is going to happen

45
00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:42,560
or what our future is

46
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:45,360
lies in store for us 10 years 25 years

47
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:51,429
i think we've left the ship in good

48
00:01:55,270 --> 00:01:52,240
shape

49
00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:55,280
and i'm honored to hand it over to kevin

50
00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:57,920
although he's an air force guy so we

51
00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:59,280
have to make him a little more navy

52
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:00,799
because it is a ship

53
00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:03,360
so i have a little present for him first

54
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:04,479
to

55
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:06,240
this is a navy pennant

56
00:02:11,029 --> 00:02:08,640
that if you hold this for a second flies

57
00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:11,039
over uh navy ships

58
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:12,879
when the commander is on board

59
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:14,640

60
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:17,360

63
00:02:27,430 --> 00:02:25,840
a uh idea from eugene's daughter and

64
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:27,440
there's four of us living here in node

65
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:28,959

66
00:02:34,309 --> 00:02:31,920
gibberdom is not lonely but with two of

67
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:34,319

80
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:17,270

yeah thank you very much i i hope you

82
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:20,879
heard all of sunny's words they were

83
00:03:25,190 --> 00:03:22,560
they were very nice words and we do

84
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:25,200
appreciate the gifts uh we appreciate

85
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:27,680
also the great handover we've gotten

86
00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:30,000
from you guys it's been uh relatively

87
00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:33,360
short not as some some have been shorter

88
00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:34,799
but three weeks is a pretty short

89
00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:37,840
handover and between oleg you have

90
00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:39,760
guinea and i we have

91
00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:41,200
all together if you combine all of our

92
00:03:45,830 --> 00:03:42,959
space time we have about three months

93
00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:45,840
total time and space so far and if you

94
00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:47,680
combine the time of sunny and aki and

95
00:03:52,789 --> 00:03:50,319
yuri they have three years

96
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:52,799
of total time and space living in space

97
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:55,040
so they really had a lot to offer us we

98
00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:56,480
learned a tremendous amount from them

99
00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:57,920
and they were really really good about

100
00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:59,040
sharing it

101
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:00,959
we're not really ready to see them go to

102
00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:03,040
be honest but but it's time for them to

103
00:04:06,869 --> 00:04:05,200
get home they need to land at a time

104
00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:06,879
when the

105
00:04:10,949 --> 00:04:09,120
rescue forces can get to them and find

106
00:04:12,390 --> 00:04:10,959
them easily and get them safely back to

107
00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:12,400
their families

108
00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:14,000
it's been a pleasure serving with them

109
00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:15,840
sonny said she hopes she's left the

110
00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:17,440
station in great shape and they have the

111
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:19,919

112
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:21,440
