from mr kriegel of the head of gctc

32
00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:42,399
we have reviewed the results of training

33
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:46,159
and the examinations that the crews took

34
00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:48,960
we made the decision

35
00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:54,149
has passed successfully all their

00:01:58,630 --> 00:01:56,719
examinations and examination

37
00:02:01,590 --> 00:01:58,640
training and simulations they have

38
00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:01,600
completed the training course for soyuz

39
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:04,399
and for the russian segment of the iss

40
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:07,360
the crew is prepared for flight and

41
00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:10,000
is cleared to continue their preparation

42
00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:12,879
for flight at baikonur this decision was

43
00:02:18,949 --> 00:02:15,440
made less than an hour ago

44
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:18,959
and the crew is scheduled to fly to

45
00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:22,640
baikonur on december 26th

46
00:02:30,309 --> 00:02:24,800
december 6.

47
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:32,710
please

48
00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:35,750
ria novosti my question is the

49
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:38,319
traditional for all crew members of the

50
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:40,080
prime crew

51
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:41,280
many

52
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,910
have flown in space

53
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:49,830
before who will be selecting your

54
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:52,160
weightlessness indicator and

55
00:02:57,990 --> 00:02:54,560
what the interesting items are you

56
00:03:02,149 --> 00:03:00,309
thank you for your question

57
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:02,159
traditionally it is true

58
00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:03,280
that the

59
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:09,430
all space crews that fly to the iss

60
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:15,670
the weightlessness indicator that they

61
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:17,120
keep in

62
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:18,560
their area

63
00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:29,509
bring a small

64
00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:32,159
toy dog from the russian television show

65
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:34,640
for children i don't imagine

66
00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:36,480
that

67
00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:38,720
there will be

68
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:42,720
objections from my fellow crew members

69
00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:45,760
to use that toy as a sweatlessness

70
00:03:54,869 --> 00:03:52,309
as far as other items are concerned we

71
00:03:58,830 --> 00:03:54,879
normally bring letters

72
00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:02,149
maybe christmas cards and small family

73
00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:12,309
any other ones no there is only one

74
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:14,640
weightlessness indicator

75
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:25,749
if you said that you're bringing letters

76
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:28,160
are they going to be paper letters or

77
00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:30,320
maybe on a memory stick

78
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:32,000
well

79
00:04:42,390 --> 00:04:39,990
and then the crew will be receiving more

80
00:04:44,950 --> 00:04:42,400
letters paper letters with other

81
00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:44,960
visiting vehicles but muskoke television

82
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,479
station my name is tatyana my

83
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:48,479
traditional question

84
00:05:02,390 --> 00:04:50,400
what do you expect from the current

85
00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:03,510
as you

86
00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:06,639
said this is not our first flight

87
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:08,880
we are very

88
00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:10,800
lucky to have flown

89
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:12,639
in space before i've

90
00:05:16,629 --> 00:05:14,720
been many years ago i flew to the mere

91
00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:16,639
space station and now i got another

92
00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:19,199
chance to fly in space

93
00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:20,960
this is

94
00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:22,400
excellent

95
00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:32,310
this time is different because this time

96
00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:34,320
we'll have

97
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:38,720
earth will have the time

98
00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:42,960
to experience new situations and

99
00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:50,310
we spent a lot of years here on earth

100
00:06:04,710 --> 00:05:58,309
and so this is new

101
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,590
that this time we'll have the chance

102
00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:11,830
to experience space

103
00:06:14,629 --> 00:06:13,840
to a greater degree

104
00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:14,639
well

105
00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:17,360
as the guys are preparing to answer this

106
00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:19,120
question i can tell you that the

107
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:20,639
difference is huge between a short

108
00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:22,560
duration flight and a long duration

109
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:24,080
flight

110
00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:26,800
so they will feel the difference and

111
00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:28,479
i'm a little jealous

112
00:06:32,150 --> 00:06:30,319
just

113
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:32,160
in a certain sense on the one hand it

114
00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:33,840
will be difficult and challenging on the

115
00:06:39,990 --> 00:06:37,199
other hand it will be very exciting

116
00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:41,990
cosmos newspaper please

117
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,720
yes you have a busy schedule

118
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:46,479
first of all

119
00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:48,960
i saw that on your schedule you have

120
00:06:53,189 --> 00:06:51,039
station outfitting what does that mean

121
00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:53,199
and also if there are any evas who will

122
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:55,360
be performing then and

123
00:06:58,870 --> 00:06:56,960
in addition to the experiments that we

124
00:07:00,830 --> 00:06:58,880
have already seen are you planning to do

125
00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:00,840
anything new

126
00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:04,400
yes during our flight we will

127
00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:07,280
be performing new experiments

128
00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:08,400
for

129
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:19,110
mostly

130
00:07:24,469 --> 00:07:22,629
taking outside the new

131
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,479
equipment

132
00:07:27,670 --> 00:07:26,319
for the scientific experiments outside

133
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:27,680
the station

134
00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:30,720
we'll put out the new antenna

135
00:07:33,749 --> 00:07:32,000
and

136
00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:33,759
we will collect the results from the

137
00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:36,160
previous experiments that have been

138
00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:38,000
exposed to space

139
00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:45,270
outside the iss

140
00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:47,120
and bring it back inside so that on the

141
00:07:51,749 --> 00:07:49,840
ground the scientists can study

142
00:07:54,150 --> 00:07:51,759
the effect of weightlessness and of

143
00:07:58,150 --> 00:07:54,160
their direct space

144
00:08:02,869 --> 00:08:00,309
and possibly the impact from the

145
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:02,879
thruster firing as well

146
00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:06,160
as far as the fundamental basic

147
00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:09,199
scientific experiments we always perform

148
00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:11,199
them

149
00:08:15,749 --> 00:08:12,960
over half is

150
00:08:18,469 --> 00:08:15,759
medical and biological experiments that

151
00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:18,479
are being conducted continuously

152
00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:23,430
study the results continuously as far as

153
00:08:29,589 --> 00:08:26,560
new experiments are concerned

154
00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:29,599
we have geophysics experiments

155
00:08:37,589 --> 00:08:35,990
which is based on an old medical

156
00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:37,599
experiment but

157
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:41,279
new and improved where we will be uh

158
00:08:45,829 --> 00:08:43,200
studying the uh

159
00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:45,839
the functionality of a human body in

160
00:08:49,829 --> 00:08:47,760
space

161
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:49,839
also there will be a number of us and

162
00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:52,000
canadian and european experiments and

163
00:09:01,670 --> 00:08:58,470
so i will not have enough time to list

164
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:20,070
maybe tom will wish to add something

165
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:25,590
together outside we have a lot of work

166
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:27,350
ahead of us in general so we'll see how

167
00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:29,760
things pan out for us

168
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:35,030
for scientific experiments we have a lot

169
00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:37,600
of them i think 130 or so i'm a

170
00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:39,440
physician so

171
00:09:43,509 --> 00:09:41,600
for me as a medical profession

172
00:09:45,910 --> 00:09:43,519
professional it's interesting

173
00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:45,920
to study blood

174
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,190
effects

175
00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:56,070
that would be very interesting for me

176
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:02,230
all the

177
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,430
thank you very much

178
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:13,670
next question

179
00:10:18,069 --> 00:10:16,560
how are you going to spend your free

180
00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:18,079
time

181
00:10:22,630 --> 00:10:20,720
and i heard that you

182
00:10:24,470 --> 00:10:22,640
are all into music

183
00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:24,480
are you bringing any musical instruments

184
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:26,320
with you

185
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:30,640
maybe a harmonica or maybe even a guitar

186
00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:31,600
well

187
00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:33,920
actually on board of the iss we already

188
00:10:44,230 --> 00:10:39,910
which allows crew members to enjoy their

189
00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:45,670
we

190
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:48,079
have this capability and that is great

191
00:10:51,110 --> 00:10:49,920
and it is true that we're all musicians

192
00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:51,120
in a sense

193
00:10:56,150 --> 00:10:54,320
and so we are hoping to enjoy music in

194
00:10:58,150 --> 00:10:56,160
our spare time

195
00:11:01,590 --> 00:10:58,160
i am bringing a harmonica

196
00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:01,600
with me and i'm hoping to learn how to

197
00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:08,150
to create a

198
00:11:12,790 --> 00:11:10,640
joyful atmosphere on board of the iss

199
00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:12,800
okay thank you very much can i add a few

200
00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:14,480
words

201
00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:16,800
one word that roman said that the guitar

202
00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:19,360
is traditionally on board well if you

203
00:11:24,230 --> 00:11:21,680
remember the traditions then the first

204
00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:24,240
time the guitar guitar was delivered

205
00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:26,000
during iss

206
00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:28,720
expedition 2.

207
00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:31,519
yuri romanenko and alexander malaveski

208
00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:34,720
that was the beginning of this second

209
00:11:40,230 --> 00:11:37,680
expedition to the mir station they were

210
00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:40,240
scheduled to be in space almost 11

211
00:11:45,110 --> 00:11:43,120
months and in order to provide

212
00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:45,120
psychological support a guitar was

213
00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:47,440
delivered it was a whole

214
00:11:51,990 --> 00:11:49,680
production as to how to deliver that the

215
00:11:54,069 --> 00:11:52,000
guitar they wanted to make sure that the

216
00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:54,079
vibration and the launch loads will not

217
00:11:59,430 --> 00:11:56,959
damage the instrument so they had to

218
00:12:01,670 --> 00:11:59,440
loosen the strings and tighten them and

219
00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:01,680
this story was very interesting because

220
00:12:05,670 --> 00:12:03,600
alexander lavagin

221
00:12:07,509 --> 00:12:05,680
was a good guitar player

222
00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:07,519
and yuri romanenko was the father of

223
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:09,760
roman romanenko and he taught him how to

224
00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:12,160
play the guitar in space and

225
00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:14,320
throughout his space flight he actually

226
00:12:21,910 --> 00:12:20,150
so even to this day when cosmonauts get

227
00:12:24,949 --> 00:12:21,920
together sometimes they play and sing

228
00:12:27,190 --> 00:12:24,959
those songs so this is a long

229
00:12:29,509 --> 00:12:27,200
tradition and so here we like to talk

230
00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:29,519
about dynasty so this is the romanenko

231
00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:39,190
yes but also i wanted to point out

232
00:12:46,629 --> 00:12:44,470
again

233
00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:46,639
from canada and i'm bringing something

234
00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:48,240
from canada

235
00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:49,760
and

236
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,910
i will show you uh

237
00:13:07,190 --> 00:13:04,069
i'm not sure how you call it how you say

238
00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:07,200
this in russian but i got something that

239
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:09,040
will

240
00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:10,800
allow me

241
00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:17,750
name of our flight i've played the

242
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:27,190
this is a big part of our life

243
00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:29,430
that is not why we're in space but this

244
00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:31,920
is a large and enjoyable part of our

245
00:13:42,550 --> 00:13:39,910
and so i am confident that we will

246
00:13:45,829 --> 00:13:42,560
make music a large part of our flight

247
00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:47,590
you've been in space with the canadians

248
00:13:59,750 --> 00:13:56,629
you know

249
00:14:01,189 --> 00:13:59,760
i'm still not sure what happened

250
00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:01,199
must be fate

251
00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:03,120
because it's true that

252
00:14:07,269 --> 00:14:04,880
i flew with a

253
00:14:09,189 --> 00:14:07,279
canadian space station represented a

254
00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:09,199
community space agency representative in

255
00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:11,040
space last time

256
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:11,920
so

257
00:14:15,590 --> 00:14:14,480
you specialize in canada

258
00:14:20,389 --> 00:14:15,600
well

259
00:14:24,069 --> 00:14:22,310
chris about an hour ago that was telling

260
00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:24,079
us

261
00:14:34,629 --> 00:14:28,870
they don't fly in space very often and i

262
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:36,790
but i have been fortunate to fly in

263
00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:38,320
space with the representatives from

264
00:14:50,069 --> 00:14:46,870
canadians are great people

265
00:14:52,790 --> 00:14:50,079
great to work with and i think it's

266
00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:52,800
very good that we are an international

267
00:14:56,870 --> 00:14:54,800
crew who will be working together on

268
00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:56,880
board of the iss

269
00:15:02,389 --> 00:14:59,600
thank you my question is for christian

270
00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:04,389
soyuz is a new vehicle for you how

271
00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:06,639
difficult was it for you to learn the

272
00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:09,040
technology

273
00:15:13,430 --> 00:15:11,440
and what can you say about

274
00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:13,440
the work of the training personnel the

275
00:15:22,310 --> 00:15:19,829
yes it is a russian vehicle so i guess

276
00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:22,320
i'll have to respond in russian and so

277
00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:23,680
the most

278
00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:28,720
was actually learning the language i

279
00:15:33,509 --> 00:15:31,199
first started a russian

280
00:15:38,150 --> 00:15:33,519
19 years ago when i started with the

281
00:15:40,389 --> 00:15:39,110
and

282
00:15:43,430 --> 00:15:40,399
to fly

283
00:15:44,629 --> 00:15:43,440
to space on soyuz in

284
00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:44,639
you have to

285
00:15:49,269 --> 00:15:46,000
know russian

286
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:58,150
uh

287
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,790
and i have flown a lot of aircraft

288
00:16:07,110 --> 00:16:05,269
so i can tell you that this is a good

289
00:16:13,110 --> 00:16:07,120
vehicle

290
00:16:29,749 --> 00:16:13,120
and i am fortunate to be a left-seater

291
00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:33,509
this is a robust vehicle it's been flown

292
00:16:43,189 --> 00:16:39,990
when i was a child

293
00:16:45,269 --> 00:16:43,199
i already read about this vehicle in

294
00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:45,279
national geographic

295
00:16:58,470 --> 00:16:46,959
and

296
00:17:02,389 --> 00:17:00,790
well again they learned a lot more than

297
00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:02,399
they read originally in national

298
00:17:13,429 --> 00:17:09,990
so you said that they composed music in

299
00:17:17,669 --> 00:17:15,350
do you think that for the

300
00:17:19,990 --> 00:17:17,679
moon and mars generation we need to have

301
00:17:23,029 --> 00:17:20,000
new music composed

302
00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:23,039
and are you planning to do so i

303
00:17:27,669 --> 00:17:25,600
i grew up listening to

304
00:17:30,470 --> 00:17:27,679
beautiful harmonies and folk music and

305
00:17:31,590 --> 00:17:30,480
music that tells a story

306
00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:31,600
and

307
00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:34,960
different types of music to me that's

308
00:17:39,029 --> 00:17:37,360
kind of the very heart of music

309
00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:39,039
and often folk music is written to

310
00:17:41,830 --> 00:17:40,480
describe something new in the human

311
00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:41,840
experience whether it's the first

312
00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:43,520
sailors that left the site of land or

313
00:17:46,710 --> 00:17:45,120
the first people that worked in a new

314
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:46,720
place or

315
00:17:49,909 --> 00:17:48,160
or someone that was experiencing

316
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:49,919
something new in the human experience

317
00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:51,520
and so for us

318
00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:53,039
to have a chance not only through

319
00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:56,080
photographs and writing but to try and

320
00:17:58,710 --> 00:17:57,200
record

321
00:18:00,230 --> 00:17:58,720
the newness of this experience the

322
00:18:02,070 --> 00:18:00,240
humanity to try and record it in a

323
00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:02,080
different art form which is music

324
00:18:06,630 --> 00:18:04,480
to me it's important

325
00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:06,640
and so i've partially written some songs

326
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:08,160
here on earth to to make sure that if

327
00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:09,760
time is short i have time to finish them

328
00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:12,320
orbit but my intent is to finish

329
00:18:17,190 --> 00:18:15,360
and record uh those songs on orbit uh

330
00:18:19,590 --> 00:18:17,200
just as we will take photographs on

331
00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:19,600
orbit and write about it but also to uh

332
00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:20,400
to

333
00:18:25,110 --> 00:18:22,480
in that amazing recording studio without

334
00:18:26,870 --> 00:18:25,120
gravity to uh to try and start to

335
00:18:28,789 --> 00:18:26,880
understand this newness of the human

336
00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:28,799
experience

337
00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:30,880
so maybe when people they go to mars or

338
00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:38,950
i hope so i'm not i'm not a professional

339
00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:40,320
songwriter i'm working with a

340
00:18:44,070 --> 00:18:42,720
professional songwriter in canada a song

341
00:18:46,310 --> 00:18:44,080
will be

342
00:18:48,950 --> 00:18:46,320
through a program called

343
00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:48,960
coalition for music education that will

344
00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:49,760
uh

345
00:18:53,909 --> 00:18:51,280
that will be in schools all across

346
00:18:55,029 --> 00:18:53,919
canada that we'll be recording on orbit

347
00:18:57,430 --> 00:18:55,039
but

348
00:18:59,270 --> 00:18:57,440
i will do my best to try and express the

349
00:19:01,190 --> 00:18:59,280
experience so that people will want to

350
00:19:03,029 --> 00:19:01,200
when we start leaving earth to go even

351
00:19:05,750 --> 00:19:03,039
further that those songs will be a

352
00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:05,760
natural way to express uh what it's like

353
00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:11,990
thank you very much again

354
00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:14,880
cosmodex news yes there's was a decision

355
00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:17,200
has been a decision made recently

356
00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:20,080
for the uh one year long

357
00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:22,240
duration flight

358
00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:24,880
thank you to the iss so my question is

359
00:19:29,510 --> 00:19:25,760
what

360
00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:29,520
such

361
00:19:33,830 --> 00:19:31,440
long flights and do you think that the

362
00:19:36,870 --> 00:19:33,840
iss is prepared

363
00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:36,880
it's a very serious question i'm not

364
00:19:40,230 --> 00:19:38,640
sure i'm the right person to ask that

365
00:19:44,310 --> 00:19:40,240
question sergey might

366
00:19:48,630 --> 00:19:46,630
since he was the one who was asked at

367
00:19:52,549 --> 00:19:48,640
some point to stay another

368
00:19:54,710 --> 00:19:52,559
expedition on board

369
00:19:56,789 --> 00:19:54,720
so

370
00:19:58,070 --> 00:19:56,799
he would probably be

371
00:19:59,430 --> 00:19:58,080
the best

372
00:20:01,909 --> 00:19:59,440
person to

373
00:20:04,789 --> 00:20:01,919
ask this question especially taking into

374
00:20:06,950 --> 00:20:04,799
account his experience on board of mir

375
00:20:09,110 --> 00:20:06,960
now as far as my personal opinion is

376
00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:09,120
concerned i would say

377
00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:11,200
that if

378
00:20:17,909 --> 00:20:13,840
we have the objective of staying on

379
00:20:21,909 --> 00:20:17,919
board for one year that is justified

380
00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:21,919
by the overall goals of the program

381
00:20:29,110 --> 00:20:24,000
then we will support i'm sure everybody

382
00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:31,110
and i know that

383
00:20:34,630 --> 00:20:33,360
our management understands all the

384
00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:34,640
implications when they make this

385
00:20:38,789 --> 00:20:37,760
decision we have flown in space

386
00:20:42,070 --> 00:20:38,799
before

387
00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:42,080
with a stay on board for one year

388
00:20:51,190 --> 00:20:50,310
tasks i know

389
00:20:54,149 --> 00:20:51,200
that

390
00:20:56,630 --> 00:20:54,159
right now they are working

391
00:20:58,310 --> 00:20:56,640
to ensure that this flight makes sense

392
00:21:02,710 --> 00:20:58,320
in terms of the duration and that we

393
00:21:04,470 --> 00:21:02,720
have enough work to occupy our time so

394
00:21:10,149 --> 00:21:04,480
again i would like to

395
00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:13,110
it is true that this decision has been

396
00:21:16,710 --> 00:21:15,200
made

397
00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:16,720
and

398
00:21:20,149 --> 00:21:18,480
there is a list of uh possible

399
00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:20,159
participants that has been published

400
00:21:23,990 --> 00:21:22,080
already

401
00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:24,000
and i would agree

402
00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:26,400
again that we have the long duration

403
00:21:47,830 --> 00:21:45,830
it was a leap year so it was an extra

404
00:21:49,909 --> 00:21:47,840
day so

405
00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:49,919
one year duration flights

406
00:21:54,630 --> 00:21:52,080
themselves have been performed before

407
00:21:56,549 --> 00:21:54,640
now of course we have more statistics

408
00:21:59,510 --> 00:21:56,559
and better equipment we understand

409
00:22:00,390 --> 00:21:59,520
better what happens to a human body

410
00:22:04,149 --> 00:22:00,400
so

411
00:22:07,669 --> 00:22:04,159
this experiment can give new data

412
00:22:10,310 --> 00:22:07,679
this flight will not occur until 2015 so

413
00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:10,320
we have time to prepare both from the

414
00:22:15,909 --> 00:22:13,760
roscosmos side and from the nasa side

415
00:22:17,990 --> 00:22:15,919
we are discussing the prospects for this

416
00:22:19,750 --> 00:22:18,000
pla flight and also the possible

417
00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:19,760
schedule for the flight

418
00:22:23,430 --> 00:22:21,840
for nasa tv thank you very much tom

419
00:22:25,270 --> 00:22:23,440
marshburn in addition to all the

420
00:22:27,350 --> 00:22:25,280
scientific experiments you'll be doing

421
00:22:28,710 --> 00:22:27,360
on board during your mission can you

422
00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:28,720
talk about some of the day-to-day

423
00:22:32,149 --> 00:22:30,559
activities you'll be doing on board for

424
00:22:34,950 --> 00:22:32,159
maintenance of the iss and what you're

425
00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:34,960
looking forward to the most

426
00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:36,480
well it would have quite a bit of

427
00:22:40,470 --> 00:22:38,400
maintenance to do however our goal is

428
00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:40,480
going to be getting that that done as

429
00:22:44,070 --> 00:22:42,080
efficiently as possible so we can spend

430
00:22:45,590 --> 00:22:44,080
as much time on the scientific

431
00:22:48,070 --> 00:22:45,600
experiments as we can

432
00:22:49,350 --> 00:22:48,080
and uh this station requires some

433
00:22:51,029 --> 00:22:49,360
maintenance so we'll be doing that we'll

434
00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:51,039
be maintaining our bodies as well a fair

435
00:22:56,870 --> 00:22:54,400
amount of time spent doing uh

436
00:22:57,909 --> 00:22:56,880
physical exercise both cardiovascular

437
00:22:59,430 --> 00:22:57,919
and muscle

438
00:23:01,909 --> 00:22:59,440
and you know the space station is the

439
00:23:05,190 --> 00:23:01,919
largest uh power

440
00:23:07,029 --> 00:23:05,200
supply that's ever been put into space

441
00:23:09,669 --> 00:23:07,039
as well as a water recycling center it's

442
00:23:11,909 --> 00:23:09,679
almost an entirely close system

443
00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:11,919
we rely on all this for our lives but

444
00:23:15,830 --> 00:23:13,280
we're also learning a lot about how to

445
00:23:17,669 --> 00:23:15,840
build a future spacecraft that can

446
00:23:19,669 --> 00:23:17,679
maintain people without resupply for a

447
00:23:21,750 --> 00:23:19,679
long period of time a lot of that

448
00:23:23,029 --> 00:23:21,760
technology has

449
00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:23,039
benefit to the earth coming down to the

450
00:23:27,190 --> 00:23:24,880
earth as well but will we maintain that

451
00:23:28,710 --> 00:23:27,200
system as well

452
00:23:31,909 --> 00:23:28,720
thank you

453
00:23:37,430 --> 00:23:34,470
television station

454
00:23:39,270 --> 00:23:37,440
television channel for the backup crew

455
00:23:41,430 --> 00:23:39,280
are you prepared to take the place of

456
00:23:50,630 --> 00:23:41,440
the prime prime

457
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:56,950
i will let my flight engineer respond

458
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:07,350
i do not

459
00:24:11,750 --> 00:24:09,669
well the commission has decided that we

460
00:24:14,230 --> 00:24:11,760
are well prepared so god forbid

461
00:24:17,510 --> 00:24:14,240
something should happen we will be

462
00:24:24,149 --> 00:24:20,310
it will be better to wait until it's our

463
00:24:30,630 --> 00:24:26,789
today is not our day

464
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:36,710
what is important is that the prime crew

465
00:24:39,269 --> 00:24:37,590
is

466
00:24:41,190 --> 00:24:39,279
ready

467
00:24:44,630 --> 00:24:41,200
we look at them as

468
00:24:45,510 --> 00:24:44,640
the shining example of preparedness

469
00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:45,520
and

470
00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:48,080
if we must we will but hopefully we

471
00:24:53,269 --> 00:24:50,640
won't have to

472
00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:53,279
i think certainly if um unfortunate

473
00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:55,520
circumstances required that we launched

474
00:24:58,470 --> 00:24:57,120
this month we would certainly be ready

475
00:25:00,149 --> 00:24:58,480
to go

476
00:25:02,870 --> 00:25:00,159
but i'm very much looking forward to

477
00:25:08,789 --> 00:25:02,880
launching on time next spring and

478
00:25:11,909 --> 00:25:10,230
you have heard our

479
00:25:14,390 --> 00:25:11,919
official

480
00:25:17,510 --> 00:25:14,400
opinion now i'll tell you

481
00:25:21,029 --> 00:25:17,520
about a small tradition that you have

482
00:25:23,909 --> 00:25:21,039
in unofficial meetings with management

483
00:25:25,269 --> 00:25:23,919
since a long time ago first generation

484
00:25:27,190 --> 00:25:25,279
cosmonauts

485
00:25:28,870 --> 00:25:27,200
we

486
00:25:31,110 --> 00:25:28,880
always say

487
00:25:32,950 --> 00:25:31,120
reporting backup crew reporting here we

488
00:25:34,549 --> 00:25:32,960
are not prepared to take the place of

489
00:25:35,669 --> 00:25:34,559
the prime crew

490
00:25:37,190 --> 00:25:35,679
so

491
00:25:41,029 --> 00:25:37,200
i would like to say that we're not

492
00:25:45,830 --> 00:25:43,190
for training everything has been done

493
00:25:46,870 --> 00:25:45,840
for the crew to be prepared to be

494
00:25:49,190 --> 00:25:46,880
trained

495
00:25:50,710 --> 00:25:49,200
and we do a lot of things to ensure that

496
00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:50,720
we don't have to

497
00:25:58,230 --> 00:25:55,990
but you know there's a tradition that at

498
00:25:59,830 --> 00:25:58,240
the final stages of the preparation the

499
00:26:02,070 --> 00:25:59,840
crews are always

500
00:26:05,990 --> 00:26:02,080
traveling separately and on different

501
00:26:08,630 --> 00:26:06,000
airplanes different vehicles so we

502
00:26:11,430 --> 00:26:08,640
take the safety measures up until the

503
00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:11,440
moment when we deliver the crew to the

504
00:26:15,669 --> 00:26:13,600
launch pad where the crews are delivered

505
00:26:17,269 --> 00:26:15,679
and different on different buses

506
00:26:19,669 --> 00:26:17,279
in case something should happen which is

507
00:26:21,350 --> 00:26:19,679
difficult to imagine my question is for

508
00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:21,360
chris field again

509
00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:23,760
a lot of time in space more than five

510
00:26:27,430 --> 00:26:25,360
months

511
00:26:30,070 --> 00:26:27,440
what will and away from everything what

512
00:26:31,350 --> 00:26:30,080
will you miss the most and also what

513
00:26:33,269 --> 00:26:31,360
have you planned for christmas in your

514
00:26:48,950 --> 00:26:33,279
easter if you can also answer in french

515
00:26:48,960 --> 00:27:00,390
um

516
00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:02,630
the first part was what are we preparing

517
00:27:05,430 --> 00:27:04,000
for christmas

518
00:27:07,909 --> 00:27:05,440
i hope the crew on board doesn't hear

519
00:27:10,470 --> 00:27:07,919
about this in the media but i'm bringing

520
00:27:11,750 --> 00:27:10,480
uh some small gifts and surprises up for

521
00:27:13,750 --> 00:27:11,760
the crew that's already up there so we

522
00:27:15,990 --> 00:27:13,760
can celebrate christmas together and of

523
00:27:18,630 --> 00:27:16,000
course we have a christmas meal planned

524
00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:18,640
it's not as good or the same as a meal

525
00:27:22,230 --> 00:27:20,640
here on orbit at christmas time but it

526
00:27:23,590 --> 00:27:22,240
is still just as important it's an

527
00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:23,600
important tradition and we will be

528
00:27:36,480 --> 00:28:07,350
um

529
00:28:12,149 --> 00:28:09,590
i understand very well that we are

530
00:28:14,710 --> 00:28:12,159
actually expedition 35 but we are not

531
00:28:16,630 --> 00:28:14,720
the only space station expedition

532
00:28:18,389 --> 00:28:16,640
and i understand the relative importance

533
00:28:19,590 --> 00:28:18,399
uh we have to do our job properly and

534
00:28:21,669 --> 00:28:19,600
has to fit into the long-term

535
00:28:24,389 --> 00:28:21,679
perspective but for us it is our

536
00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:24,399
expedition we work hard to get ready for

537
00:28:29,590 --> 00:28:27,600
it and uh we uh we will do our part as

538
00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:29,600
best we can during our five months up

539
00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:31,520
there for me personally

540
00:28:34,230 --> 00:28:32,320
um

541
00:28:37,430 --> 00:28:34,240
is of course the time that i'm going to

542
00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:37,440
be asked to command is for me personally

543
00:28:42,070 --> 00:28:40,080
a very important part of my life

544
00:28:43,990 --> 00:28:42,080
and the reason we prepared so hard and

545
00:28:46,310 --> 00:28:44,000
one of my great motivations has been to

546
00:28:47,990 --> 00:28:46,320
prepare uh to have the opportunity to

547
00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:48,000
command the space station uh during my

548
00:28:53,110 --> 00:28:49,840
oscars it's very important personally

549
00:28:56,830 --> 00:28:54,950
one more question

550
00:29:00,070 --> 00:28:56,840
for future probably

551
00:29:03,110 --> 00:29:00,080
again after a crew member returns from

552
00:29:05,669 --> 00:29:03,120
the long duration flight

553
00:29:07,990 --> 00:29:05,679
i know at first you enjoy being back on

554
00:29:09,830 --> 00:29:08,000
earth and then how long does it take for

555
00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:09,840
you to start wanting to go

556
00:29:21,909 --> 00:29:19,510
for me personally i can tell you

557
00:29:23,669 --> 00:29:21,919
that as long as you feel

558
00:29:25,510 --> 00:29:23,679
physically

559
00:29:32,310 --> 00:29:25,520
healthy and

560
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,389
for me it was actually different

561
00:29:41,590 --> 00:29:39,190
after the first flight

562
00:29:44,389 --> 00:29:41,600
even when i was still in space i didn't

563
00:29:46,389 --> 00:29:44,399
want to come back i didn't want to land

564
00:29:48,710 --> 00:29:46,399
the first question i asked my wife once

565
00:29:50,549 --> 00:29:48,720
i got back i said are you sure you were

566
00:29:52,070 --> 00:29:50,559
going to let me fly again and she said

567
00:29:54,950 --> 00:29:52,080
yes

568
00:29:57,269 --> 00:29:54,960
and after the second flight i think it

569
00:29:59,269 --> 00:29:57,279
took me a year to even

570
00:30:03,430 --> 00:29:59,279
start thinking about wanting to go back

571
00:30:07,990 --> 00:30:06,149
now for the third flight

572
00:30:10,470 --> 00:30:08,000
again the right after coming back i

573
00:30:13,269 --> 00:30:10,480
wanted to go back so i to go back in

574
00:30:14,710 --> 00:30:13,279
space i don't know

575
00:30:17,430 --> 00:30:14,720
maybe i'm

576
00:30:18,149 --> 00:30:17,440
too inconsistent i don't know

577
00:30:44,389 --> 00:30:18,159
i

578
00:30:46,230 --> 00:30:44,399
launch

579
00:30:47,029 --> 00:30:46,240
which makes it very difficult

580
00:30:49,190 --> 00:30:47,039
but

581
00:30:51,430 --> 00:30:49,200
i think in the

582
00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:51,440
grand scheme of life in the future when

583
00:30:54,710 --> 00:30:53,360
he looks back at it and can say what his

584
00:30:56,230 --> 00:30:54,720
mother did

585
00:30:57,029 --> 00:30:56,240
he will be very proud

586
00:31:01,110 --> 00:30:57,039
and

587
00:31:01,990 --> 00:31:01,120
knows exactly what i'm going through

588
00:31:07,509 --> 00:31:02,000
and

589
00:31:12,630 --> 00:31:09,750
i would like to add

590
00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:14,789
and karen they really have

591
00:31:26,549 --> 00:31:22,230
they both feel responsible for the

592
00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:32,870
jack only knows one word now

593
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:38,389
so we call him mr now at this time

594
00:31:43,509 --> 00:31:41,029
dear friends

595
00:31:46,230 --> 00:31:43,519
again i mentioned that we have a very

596
00:31:48,789 --> 00:31:46,240
busy schedule today and so let's uh

597
00:31:51,509 --> 00:31:48,799
start start wrapping up your last chance

598
00:31:53,830 --> 00:31:51,519
to ask questions for nasa tv and for the

599
00:31:55,909 --> 00:31:53,840
canadian space agency um what is your

600
00:31:57,430 --> 00:31:55,919
favorite russian tradition uh linked to

601
00:32:10,870 --> 00:31:57,440
a space flight and why if you could

602
00:32:15,190 --> 00:32:13,029
i think it's very important to celebrate

603
00:32:18,950 --> 00:32:15,200
major events we do it right across all

604
00:32:23,269 --> 00:32:18,960
societies in uh here on earth

605
00:32:26,389 --> 00:32:23,279
births and marriages and birthdays and

606
00:32:27,430 --> 00:32:26,399
historical days we celebrate them

607
00:32:29,269 --> 00:32:27,440
tradition

608
00:32:31,909 --> 00:32:29,279
and a chance to gather together and

609
00:32:34,389 --> 00:32:31,919
recognize where we are in history to me

610
00:32:36,389 --> 00:32:34,399
is an important part of understanding

611
00:32:37,350 --> 00:32:36,399
where where we are and who we are as

612
00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:37,360
people

613
00:32:41,190 --> 00:32:40,000
and therefore for me my favorite part of

614
00:32:43,430 --> 00:32:41,200
uh

615
00:32:45,029 --> 00:32:43,440
of flying in space

616
00:32:47,830 --> 00:32:45,039
are in fact the traditions the things we

617
00:32:49,269 --> 00:32:47,840
do beforehand and today

618
00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:49,279
um

619
00:32:55,909 --> 00:32:52,880
we go into uh gagarin's office and we

620
00:32:58,070 --> 00:32:55,919
here at star city a historic place and

621
00:32:59,350 --> 00:32:58,080
we we sign in a book that

622
00:33:01,110 --> 00:32:59,360
that is

623
00:33:02,789 --> 00:33:01,120
it's a tradition it's you know it's just

624
00:33:04,950 --> 00:33:02,799
something that we do but at the same

625
00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:04,960
time it marks an event

626
00:33:09,669 --> 00:33:08,080
and it is uh important i think for us to

627
00:33:12,310 --> 00:33:09,679
put things into perspective that we have

628
00:33:14,470 --> 00:33:12,320
such markers and to go into the office

629
00:33:16,630 --> 00:33:14,480
of the first human being to fly in space

630
00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:16,640
and to be part of that continuum to me

631
00:34:16,710 --> 00:33:19,600
is a very important traditional event

632
00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:28,950
thank you chris

633
00:34:35,510 --> 00:34:30,470
that will be performed on board of the

634
00:34:40,069 --> 00:34:38,069
regarding the experiments from the

635
00:34:42,470 --> 00:34:40,079
school children who send their

636
00:34:43,909 --> 00:34:42,480
experiments in space are you planning to

637
00:34:45,669 --> 00:34:43,919
do the

638
00:34:47,430 --> 00:34:45,679
students experiments children's

639
00:34:48,389 --> 00:34:47,440
experiments in space

640
00:34:51,349 --> 00:34:48,399
i know

641
00:34:55,349 --> 00:34:51,359
that from time to time

642
00:34:59,670 --> 00:34:55,359
cosmonauts perform experiments

643
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:06,550
from

644
00:35:11,510 --> 00:35:09,109
those are engineering technical

645
00:35:14,390 --> 00:35:11,520
experiments

646
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:21,349
the effect of weightlessness

647
00:35:25,109 --> 00:35:23,510
materials we have small boxes with

648
00:35:27,829 --> 00:35:25,119
samples and

649
00:35:30,310 --> 00:35:27,839
under the influence of various

650
00:35:33,430 --> 00:35:30,320
radiation and weightlessness they begin

651
00:35:38,710 --> 00:35:36,790
so this whole process is videotaped

652
00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:38,720
and then these materials come back to

653
00:35:42,790 --> 00:35:40,800
earth

654
00:35:47,270 --> 00:35:42,800
or

655
00:35:48,069 --> 00:35:47,280
just the video is received on the ground

656
00:35:53,510 --> 00:35:48,079
for

657
00:35:56,310 --> 00:35:53,520
confirmation of the fact that

658
00:36:00,150 --> 00:35:56,320
various materials behave differently in

659
00:36:07,109 --> 00:36:03,190
different from what we see on earth

660
00:36:08,790 --> 00:36:07,119
for our flight we have not uh

661
00:36:10,390 --> 00:36:08,800
no we have one

662
00:36:12,069 --> 00:36:10,400
actually that's the one i was talking

663
00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:12,079
about

664
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,190
study how this will be happening

665
00:36:22,790 --> 00:36:21,190
we are planning to expand this

666
00:36:29,670 --> 00:36:22,800
experiment a little bit and also from

667
00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:32,310
where we talk to students and school

668
00:36:36,310 --> 00:36:34,160
children it's a very important part of

669
00:36:38,950 --> 00:36:36,320
our program and it is

670
00:36:41,349 --> 00:36:38,960
exciting to see that the students are

671
00:36:46,710 --> 00:36:41,359
interested in talking to us and learning

672
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:59,670
can you turn this around please

673
00:37:04,710 --> 00:37:02,470
okay friends thank you very much for
