will undock and fly home and the actual

9
00:00:24,630 --> 00:00:22,240
beginning of expedition 35 will begin

10
00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:24,640
precisely at separation

11
00:00:29,509 --> 00:00:27,439
and so that we can concentrate tonight

12
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:29,519
and tomorrow on our duties and get ready

00:00:34,389 --> 00:00:32,160
to go home we will go ahead and do the

14
00:00:36,229 --> 00:00:34,399
change of command tonight and

15
00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:36,239
colonel chris hadfield here will

officially be in command of the

17
00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:39,280
international space station assuming he

18
00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:41,360
accepts the obligations tonight when i

19
00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:42,640
offer them to him

20
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:43,920
before i get started though with the

21
00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:45,680
change of command proper

22
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:47,920
i want to say just a quick thank you uh

23
00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:48,800
to

24
00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:50,320
the people on the ground who make this

25
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:52,879
all happen this space station is a as a

26
00:00:57,029 --> 00:00:54,960
ground effort it's it's tens and tens of

27
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:57,039
thousands of people that make it happen

28
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:58,800
we are very fortunate to be up here as

29
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:00,640
the crew and get to enjoy the fruits of

30
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:03,440
all that labor to uh to be at the at the

31
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:05,680
pointy end if you will and get to be

32
00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:07,840
here on the final frontier but you are

33
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:11,119
all here with us on the final frontier

34
00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:12,640
in many ways this isn't really our

35
00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:14,640
expedition it's the expedition of a

36
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:16,799
group of people on the ground um who

37
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:18,320
begin planning for this kind of thing

38
00:01:22,469 --> 00:01:20,880
many many years in advance exactly what

39
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:22,479
we'll be doing out here and when we're

40
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:25,280
here and uh i was hearing the the the

41
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:27,439
kind of the curricula uh two and a half

42
00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:29,840
three years ago and it's amazing how it

43
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:31,920
materialized and the things that we did

44
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:33,920
on board station upgrades and the

45
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:36,000
science we did matched up with what we

46
00:01:40,069 --> 00:01:38,240
plan to do and the increment manager is

47
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:40,079
the person who puts that whole strategy

48
00:01:44,069 --> 00:01:42,240
together and ours was susan brand and so

49
00:01:46,389 --> 00:01:44,079
this is really her increment and we were

50
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:46,399
very proud to serve her the person then

51
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:48,560
who takes all of that

52
00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:51,360
those tasks that's decided on by the

53
00:01:55,109 --> 00:01:52,640
station program and the incremental

54
00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:55,119
manager and makes it all happen is the

55
00:01:59,109 --> 00:01:57,520
lead flight director chris edelen and uh

56
00:02:00,950 --> 00:01:59,119
thank you so much

57
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:00,960
to to him as well when we undock

58
00:02:05,910 --> 00:02:02,880
tomorrow night his duties uh as part of

59
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:05,920
expedition 34 we'll relax a bit too we

60
00:02:09,749 --> 00:02:07,360
all have more duties

61
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:09,759
after after the expedition as they go on

62
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:11,760
but certainly uh the time of the

63
00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:13,440
expedition will come to an end for him

64
00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:15,200
too and i'm sure he'll breathe a big

65
00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:17,520
sigh of relief and be very proud about

66
00:02:22,949 --> 00:02:20,080
uh about the way the ground has executed

67
00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:22,959
it and we work together as a team

68
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:25,120
and then the one person there's one more

69
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:27,760
person i really want to thank and uh we

70
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:29,200
have to understand what it is we're

71
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:31,120
doing up here we have to understand what

72
00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:32,480
the scientists want we have to

73
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:33,680
understand

74
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:35,280
the constraints the engineering

75
00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:37,440
limitations on all this stuff

76
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:40,000
a space station is an extremely

77
00:02:43,509 --> 00:02:41,760
complicated thing

78
00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:43,519
i'm sure most of you appreciate that who

79
00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:45,360
are watching but

80
00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:47,120
the person who brings that all together

81
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:48,959
and translates it into something a crew

82
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:50,720
can understand decides what we should

83
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:52,720
train on is kathy bull she was our

84
00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:55,200
station training lead for increment 34

85
00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:57,040
and she just put it all together for us

86
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,360
she is our closest point of contact to

87
00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:01,280
all those things that we've done here so

88
00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:03,519
i really i really want to thank them i

89
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:05,920
know this has been a hugely successful

90
00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:08,239
increment for them too on the ground

91
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:10,319
working through the any of the setbacks

92
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:11,920
we've had and making new plans and

93
00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:13,760
putting together the weekly plan and the

94
00:03:17,589 --> 00:03:15,360
daily plans too it's just very

95
00:03:19,509 --> 00:03:17,599
complicated what we do inside is only a

96
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:19,519
very small part of actually what's

97
00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:21,360
happening on the space station there are

98
00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:23,440
many many things going on outside the

99
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:25,040
space station too that the crew doesn't

100
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:26,560
even interact with some of the

101
00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:28,720
constraints we have on board

102
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:30,400
come from those things that are going on

103
00:03:34,070 --> 00:03:33,040
outside too so it was really a brilliant

104
00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:34,080
piece of work putting the whole

105
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:36,239
expedition together and thank you to

106
00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:37,440
those people

107
00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:39,519
and so now i want to move on to the

108
00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:41,920
change of command and give

109
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:43,599
chris some chris some time to talk here

110
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:45,040
too

111
00:03:49,190 --> 00:03:46,720
the change of command happens four times

112
00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:49,200
a year and it's kind of a sign that uh

113
00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:50,959
that we've moved on to new objectives

114
00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:52,480
and everything and so chris is ready to

115
00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:55,280
take those on he has a vision for 35 he

116
00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:57,519
knows what's going to happen i'm not

117
00:04:00,869 --> 00:03:58,799
even trained on what what's going to

118
00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:00,879
happen in 35 probably so it's kind of

119
00:04:05,670 --> 00:04:03,360
good that uh it's time for me to to head

120
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:05,680
on home with oleg guinea and hand it on

121
00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:08,480
to these guys to chris tom and roman and

122
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,200
they can welcome on board uh sasha pavel

123
00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:13,280
and chris cassidy so that they can get

124
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:16,720
on with expedition 35 very soon

125
00:04:20,069 --> 00:04:17,840
so

126
00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:20,079
with that i'm going to

127
00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:23,120
start just talk a little bit about the

128
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:25,199
the change of command itself

129
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:28,080
as as that happens today after this like

130
00:04:32,390 --> 00:04:30,720
i said we'll we'll start relaxing and a

131
00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:32,400
little bit getting ready for the the big

132
00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:33,440
trip home

133
00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:34,960
my commander has always been as far as

134
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:37,680
the soyuz was concerned oleg and i want

135
00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:38,960
to say a word about oleg and you have

136
00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:40,320
guinea

137
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:42,560
those guys i didn't really know before i

138
00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:44,880
began the training for the expedition as

139
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,080
soon as you know who you're assigned to

140
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:48,479
fly with you start to look uh look and

141
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:50,400
find out all you can about them and we

142
00:04:55,030 --> 00:04:53,120
have cosmonauts who come and be dohs and

143
00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:55,040
get a chance to to learn about them and

144
00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:57,440
know them that way uh they they worked

145
00:05:01,749 --> 00:05:00,000
in houston with us and uh i tell you

146
00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:01,759
they're like brothers to me they they

147
00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:03,440
say they consider me like their papa

148
00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:05,199
which i'm not sure how to take that i

149
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:07,600
feel like a brother to them honestly

150
00:05:12,150 --> 00:05:10,720
so but uh we're very close and uh it's

151
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:12,160
just been an extreme pleasure to fly

152
00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:14,479
with them they're fantastic in the soyuz

153
00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:16,400
uh they they're the guys that should go

154
00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:18,880
to mars and uh i'll probably be in an

155
00:05:22,830 --> 00:05:20,000
armchair watching them because they're

156
00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:22,840
much younger than me but uh they they're

157
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:25,120
fantastic uh cosmonauts and it's been

158
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:26,720
just an extreme extreme pleasure to fly

159
00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:28,720
with them and uh the other two crewmates

160
00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:30,880
here before we get to chris ramon and

161
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:32,560
tom tom has been doing some fantastic

162
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:34,720
science up here he has a vision of what

163
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:36,880
a doctor should do in space he gives us

164
00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:38,880
advice and at night at dinner time and

165
00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:40,639
explains things to us that really makes

166
00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:43,360
it makes a big picture uh

167
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:45,280
complete for us about some of the stuff

168
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:48,400
we do up here and then roman i flew with

169
00:05:51,189 --> 00:05:49,759
actually when i flew before he was up

170
00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:51,199
here on sts

171
00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:53,680
120 when i came up for sts-128 he was

172
00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:56,400
already here he's just also a fantastic

173
00:06:00,629 --> 00:05:58,800
fantastic crewmate always uh he's very

174
00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:00,639
experienced the most experienced of us

175
00:06:05,189 --> 00:06:02,880
so he just brings a lot to the table and

176
00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:05,199
it's been a pleasure to fly with him too

177
00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:08,319
and of course chris here is uh is he

178
00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:10,800
brings also some super super special

179
00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:12,400
talents to the table and i'm not going

180
00:06:16,469 --> 00:06:13,759
to go through them all because you know

181
00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:16,479
what they are uh he he's really he's

182
00:06:21,189 --> 00:06:18,880
really a people person he's out there he

183
00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:21,199
shares things with everybody he has he

184
00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:22,880
has a way to make time for all that
