00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:24,000
of some of you so with that let's just

31
00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:25,200
go ahead and start introducing our

36
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:33,520
expedition 37 and from the european

37
00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:34,960
space agency

38
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:36,880
luca parmitano hello thanks guys for

39
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:37,920
joining us

40
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:39,840
so let's just start by setting the stage

41
00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:41,520
for our audience

42
00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:43,119
we have a crew of three on orbit right

43
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:45,360
now we've got another crew of three

44
00:01:48,389 --> 00:01:47,040
who's already in baikonur preparing for

45
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:48,399
their launch next week to go to the

46
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:49,520
space station

47
00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:51,040
and then you guys are in your last

48
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:52,399
couple of weeks of training here in the

49
00:01:56,069 --> 00:01:54,560
united states then you'll be traveling

50
00:01:57,749 --> 00:01:56,079
overseas and getting ready for your

51
00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:57,759
launch uh just about two months from now

52
00:02:01,350 --> 00:01:59,680
on may 28th can you just start by

53
00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:01,360
telling us a little bit about what

54
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:02,560
you're doing now what your training is

55
00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:04,240
like as a crew and also on a personal

56
00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:05,600
level what types of things you're doing

57
00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:06,960
at this point now that you're two months

58
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:09,200
out from launch like you said we're

59
00:02:12,309 --> 00:02:10,800
heading out pretty soon fyodor leaves

60
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:12,319
this week this is his last time in the

61
00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:13,840
us and then luca will be leaving in a

62
00:02:17,589 --> 00:02:15,200
couple weeks and then i leave in about a

63
00:02:19,030 --> 00:02:17,599
month so we're finishing up while fiora

64
00:02:20,869 --> 00:02:19,040
is here a lot of the crew activities are

65
00:02:22,869 --> 00:02:20,879
emergency training and that type of

66
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:22,879
thing and luke and i will get in our

67
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:24,400
last nbl run

68
00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:27,120
spacewalking run on thursday and so it

69
00:02:30,309 --> 00:02:28,720
is a lot of finishing up that type of

70
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:30,319
thing and doing our

71
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:32,720
pre-launch medical exams and that type

72
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:33,599
of thing

73
00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:36,400
and for me personally um getting things

74
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:38,160
around the house in order the way that

75
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:39,680
i'm you know i'd like them to be before

76
00:02:42,790 --> 00:02:41,280
i leave although we have great contact

77
00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:42,800
with the ground and with our families

78
00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:44,640
while we're in orbit so

79
00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:46,239
but i went out and picked a preschool

80
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:47,680
for my son and things like that but

81
00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:49,680
he'll start next fall so a lot of little

82
00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:52,480
things like that that we're finishing up

83
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:53,840
and

84
00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:56,720
like karen told me then it's my session

85
00:03:01,910 --> 00:02:59,760
here it's i done with every emergency

86
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:01,920
training here i don't know what is more

87
00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:04,480
terrible emergency training or have a

88
00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:12,470
we are free and we understand about each

89
00:03:17,910 --> 00:03:15,440
emerging situation now unfortunately why

90
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:17,920
because any time when i am in houston

91
00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:20,800
it's with love in my heart

92
00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:24,000
yes it's great time here it's great

93
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:26,640
meetings with all my instructors since

94
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:27,760
my first

95
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:31,120
shuttle flight with new one and

96
00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:32,400
it's great time

97
00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:34,959
and everybody here is very warm very so

98
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:37,040
very friendly very helpful et cetera et

99
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:39,200
cetera et cetera so

100
00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:41,760
the crew i am ready with this crew and i

101
00:03:45,830 --> 00:03:43,519
hope the crew ready with me like with

102
00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:45,840
commander because i am very old and like

103
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:50,879
old man sometimes i argue with everybody

104
00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:53,680
yes but we are lucky we are on straight

105
00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:56,239
and we are primed now for me

106
00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:57,120
thank you

107
00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:58,799
and look at anything you want to add

108
00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:01,120
as karen said we uh karen and i have a

109
00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:02,879
lot of training together in this final

110
00:04:06,789 --> 00:04:05,120
session uh here in houston so

111
00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:06,799
we get to spend a lot of time training

112
00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:09,120
together uh kind of uh

113
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:11,200
refining um

114
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:14,480
the details of our operations in orbit

115
00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:16,880
and then for me there's a lot of

116
00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:18,720
medical operations

117
00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:20,880
collecting data that will be used when i

118
00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:22,400
come back

119
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:25,199
for for science and

120
00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:28,160
payloads operations

121
00:04:33,189 --> 00:04:30,639
to fix it in my mind before i go in

122
00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:33,199
space and hopefully it will help me not

123
00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:35,280
break anything which is one of my first

124
00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:36,560
goals

125
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:38,880
since i'm a rookie so

126
00:04:41,909 --> 00:04:40,800
great well thanks uh with that we're

127
00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:41,919
just going to go ahead and start taking

128
00:04:45,510 --> 00:04:43,280
some questions from the folks who are

129
00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:45,520
here we have uh media representatives as

130
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:48,000
well as some social media participants

131
00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:49,199
joining us here at the johnson space

132
00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:50,560
center today so just a reminder to

133
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:52,639
please raise your hand and state your

134
00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:54,880
name and affiliation when the mic

135
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,639
microphone comes to you i think gina

136
00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:58,800
cincer i have two questions luca you've

137
00:05:03,189 --> 00:05:01,280
got two challenging space walks on this

138
00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:03,199
mission tell me about the training and

139
00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:05,199
how prepared you are for any emergencies

140
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:07,280
that might come up i'm particularly

141
00:05:11,909 --> 00:05:09,360
interested i know spacewalks are really

142
00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:11,919
hard on your hands so what what kind of

143
00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:15,039
advice have guys given you about that

144
00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:17,280
so um personally i think that any

145
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:19,280
spacewalk is is challenging not

146
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:20,800
specifically that the two that are

147
00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:22,800
planned in my increment but

148
00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:25,120
but any just because the environment is

149
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:26,960
so so different from anything we know

150
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:28,400
here on earth

151
00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:30,800
uh chris and i have been uh training

152
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:33,759
together underwater uh preparing for uh

153
00:05:37,749 --> 00:05:36,080
the tasks that we will be will be doing

154
00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:37,759
the it

155
00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:40,639
a special challenge the fact that while

156
00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:42,320
uh previously

157
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:44,720
uh during during the shuttle times evas

158
00:05:49,110 --> 00:05:46,880
were highly choreographed so everything

159
00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:49,120
was planned and choreographed and

160
00:05:54,469 --> 00:05:51,120
trained over and over again until every

161
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:54,479
step was was perfect

162
00:05:57,270 --> 00:05:55,360
in

163
00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:57,280
on the station we don't have that luxury

164
00:06:01,830 --> 00:05:59,759
to train to change as much so we need to

165
00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:01,840
be a lot more flexible and as a matter

166
00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:03,600
of fact we will receive our procedures

167
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:04,960
while we are in orbit and then we'll

168
00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:07,120
have time to study and

169
00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:10,000
brief each other what we're going to do

170
00:06:14,469 --> 00:06:12,240
preparing for emergency to actually is

171
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:14,479
something we do all the time we we know

172
00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:16,880
our suits really well we have

173
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:19,039
simulators where we can

174
00:06:23,909 --> 00:06:21,600
see what the responses of the suit are

175
00:06:26,629 --> 00:06:23,919
into an emergency and we train to

176
00:06:29,029 --> 00:06:26,639
respond to those and just by knowing the

177
00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:29,039
systems and what they let us do

178
00:06:31,909 --> 00:06:30,319
of course the ground will be there to

179
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:31,919
support us

180
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:34,000
one of the biggest challenge for a space

181
00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:35,600
for a spacewalk one of the greatest

182
00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:37,120
emergencies would be loss of contact

183
00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:39,840
with the station so tumbling in space we

184
00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:42,479
have a virtual reality simulator that is

185
00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:43,759
a

186
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:45,280
it's very

187
00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:47,280
very realistic very challenging even

188
00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:48,720
though

189
00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:51,680
probably any of the kids of today's age

190
00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:53,759
playing with video games would find it a

191
00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:55,360
child's game but for me it's very

192
00:06:59,510 --> 00:06:57,120
challenging flying back to the station

193
00:07:01,749 --> 00:06:59,520
using the safer system

194
00:07:02,629 --> 00:07:01,759
but we have the capability to train for

195
00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:02,639
those

196
00:07:07,749 --> 00:07:04,720
and uh finally

197
00:07:10,550 --> 00:07:07,759
um i've been training uh underwater i've

198
00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:10,560
done in excess of 20 dives in the suit i

199
00:07:16,150 --> 00:07:12,560
think and yes it is it is very

200
00:07:18,550 --> 00:07:16,160
physically demanding uh my my only

201
00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:18,560
suggestion to anybody who is uh trying

202
00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:20,560
to to be assigned or would like to

203
00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:23,680
perform in the suit is to to work out to

204
00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:26,000
do to prepare physically

205
00:07:30,230 --> 00:07:28,479
by going to the gym and upper body

206
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:30,240
strength of course we have to combine

207
00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:33,280
that with our uh

208
00:07:37,350 --> 00:07:35,120
strength capabilities and and also

209
00:07:40,070 --> 00:07:37,360
stamina so it means you have to train

210
00:07:42,550 --> 00:07:40,080
for long-running long-duration running

211
00:07:43,350 --> 00:07:42,560
and also for upper body strength so it's

212
00:07:45,749 --> 00:07:43,360
a very

213
00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:45,759
uh all-around training that we do in the

214
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:48,800
gym okay quick follow-up um karen chris

215
00:07:53,350 --> 00:07:51,280
hadfield has pretty much set twitter

216
00:07:54,869 --> 00:07:53,360
fire while he's on the space station

217
00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:54,879
what are you going to do to follow up or

218
00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:57,039
to join in on what he's doing up there

219
00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:58,720
yeah what he's been doing is fantastic

220
00:08:02,629 --> 00:08:00,240
and reaching people around the world

221
00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:02,639
it's absolutely amazing

222
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:04,000
i haven't decided yet whether i'll do

223
00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:06,400
twitter but i am

224
00:08:09,909 --> 00:08:08,160
i've been using pinterest for a couple

225
00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:09,919
years and absolutely love it because of

226
00:08:13,029 --> 00:08:11,520
my other hobbies and

227
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,039
have actually started on my own personal

228
00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:15,440
account adding some space things and i

229
00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:17,120
think would be kind of neat to actually

230
00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:18,720
add on to that

231
00:08:21,990 --> 00:08:20,080
while i'm there

232
00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:22,000
if i can

233
00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:23,280
yeah and definitely we're going to do as

234
00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:25,360
much as we can to share to share what

235
00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:26,720
we're doing up there with the rest of

236
00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:31,270
get down with the german space agency

237
00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:33,680
and space exp association question for

238
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:35,839
karen you flew already on a 14 day

239
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:37,360
shuttle mission what are you looking for

240
00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:39,279
most on the long duration flight of

241
00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:41,120
almost six months

242
00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:43,440
i'm very much looking forward to living

243
00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:44,159
there

244
00:08:52,230 --> 00:08:50,800
it's a sprint your go go go constantly

245
00:08:54,070 --> 00:08:52,240
and you don't have a lot of time to

246
00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:54,080
reflect on on what you're doing as

247
00:08:57,590 --> 00:08:56,160
you're doing it in fact there's a lot of

248
00:08:59,509 --> 00:08:57,600
that mission that i don't really

249
00:09:01,430 --> 00:08:59,519
remember and i look at pictures and i'm

250
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:01,440
like oh yeah we did that and so i think

251
00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:03,519
with the longer period of time i'll have

252
00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:05,120
time to actually get it ingrained in my

253
00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:07,360
brain of where i am and what i'm doing

254
00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:08,959
and i won't need to go back and look at

255
00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:10,959
those pictures to remember what it is

256
00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:12,959
that i've done

257
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:14,640
question for luca you already talked

258
00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:16,800
about the two evas what are the major

259
00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:19,040
tasks on these evas

260
00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:20,160
so we have

261
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:22,800
we have several tasks um

262
00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:24,880
making a list here would be kind of long

263
00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:25,760
but

264
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:28,080
i can say that one of the major one for

265
00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:30,480
the first tva would be setting the space

266
00:09:35,350 --> 00:09:33,120
station for the arrival of the russian

267
00:09:38,470 --> 00:09:35,360
module mlm and naoka

268
00:09:41,030 --> 00:09:38,480
uh i would describe that

269
00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:41,040
creating the environment for the mlm to

270
00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:42,959
be connected with power and data from

271
00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:45,360
the rest of the station in a way it's

272
00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:47,040
increasing the capability of the space

273
00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:51,670
we will be also um

274
00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:53,200
collecting retrieving some of the

275
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:55,600
experiments that are outside right now

276
00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:57,440
they've been outside we will bring them

277
00:10:01,350 --> 00:10:00,000
inside so that they can uh

278
00:10:03,430 --> 00:10:01,360
be

279
00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:03,440
brought back to to earth and studied by

280
00:10:08,230 --> 00:10:05,600
engineers and scientists

281
00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:08,240
so again part everybody knows part of

282
00:10:11,509 --> 00:10:10,000
the station is uh

283
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:11,519
one of the main job of the space station

284
00:10:15,910 --> 00:10:13,360
is create science so this is uh what

285
00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:15,920
we're doing we're going to do and then

286
00:10:21,269 --> 00:10:19,200
we will also be replacing substituting

287
00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:21,279
performing some maintenance to increase

288
00:10:26,630 --> 00:10:23,519
the longevity of the space station space

289
00:10:28,389 --> 00:10:26,640
is an incredibly harsh environment so

290
00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:28,399
we need to periodically

291
00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:30,959
perform maintenance activity to to make

292
00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:33,600
it better including installing a blanket

293
00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:35,519
thermal blankets in some specific parts

294
00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:38,880
of the station to protect it

295
00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:39,680
okay

296
00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:41,279
i have two questions first a general

297
00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:43,440
question for for anyone it's expected

298
00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:45,600
within the next couple weeks that

299
00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:46,959
a paper is going to be published with

300
00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:48,560
the initial results from the alpha

301
00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:50,320
magnetic spectrometer

302
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:52,079
luca i know you mentioned it's important

303
00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:54,720
for the iss to be doing science i was

304
00:10:58,790 --> 00:10:56,480
hoping that someone might discuss the

305
00:11:00,790 --> 00:10:58,800
significance of that in terms of showing

306
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:00,800
that the iss is doing good science

307
00:11:04,069 --> 00:11:02,320
because those results are expected to be

308
00:11:08,949 --> 00:11:04,079
pretty significant with respect to dark

309
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:10,630
i think that

310
00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:12,240
when we think about the space station we

311
00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:14,720
need to focus on on three

312
00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:16,480
three main aspects of what we do in

313
00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:17,519
space

314
00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:20,079
science is certainly a huge part of what

315
00:11:23,990 --> 00:11:21,680
we do on the space station technology

316
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:24,000
and exploration are the other two

317
00:11:28,150 --> 00:11:26,320
i personally uh from my personal point

318
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:28,160
of view is exploration is incredibly

319
00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:31,600
exciting uh technology is obvious we we

320
00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:33,920
always

321
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:35,600
experiment and test new technology on

322
00:11:40,069 --> 00:11:37,440
the space station in orbit science

323
00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:40,079
sometimes because of its nature

324
00:11:44,949 --> 00:11:42,959
can be overlooked and we shouldn't on

325
00:11:47,269 --> 00:11:44,959
the space station every week our

326
00:11:49,590 --> 00:11:47,279
astronauts perform over 30 weeks 30

327
00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:49,600
hours of science per week and out of

328
00:11:56,870 --> 00:11:55,910
thousands of papers and scientists are

329
00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:56,880
working

330
00:12:02,069 --> 00:11:59,360
constantly generating a new knowledge

331
00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:02,079
and now the ams is a is a unique uh

332
00:12:07,190 --> 00:12:04,880
unique machine and it's looking into the

333
00:12:09,590 --> 00:12:07,200
past if

334
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:09,600
if you wanna if you want to think about

335
00:12:14,069 --> 00:12:12,160
it that way it's looking so far away uh

336
00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:14,079
collecting the very first

337
00:12:19,509 --> 00:12:16,800
particles that are that were generated

338
00:12:22,069 --> 00:12:19,519
and letting letting us understand how

339
00:12:25,190 --> 00:12:22,079
the universe is made up

340
00:12:29,190 --> 00:12:25,200
uh dark matters is one of the uh of the

341
00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:29,200
greatest mystery of uh of science and

342
00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:31,040
it's part of it's a frontier for

343
00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:32,800
scientists so if we can break into that

344
00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:34,800
frontier uh the

345
00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:36,800
results for our understanding will be

346
00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:38,480
are still unimaginable because we just

347
00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:40,160
don't know what's happening

348
00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:42,800
uh in that sense if i don't think i i

349
00:12:45,910 --> 00:12:44,720
can highlight or stress enough the

350
00:12:48,069 --> 00:12:45,920
importance of

351
00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:48,079
the breaks that in science and in

352
00:12:50,829 --> 00:12:49,440
science and knowledge that come from

353
00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:50,839
what we do on the space

354
00:12:55,269 --> 00:12:53,600
station and a question for karen uh

355
00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:55,279
dennis tito recently announced a plan to

356
00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:57,200
send a married couple to mars is that

357
00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:58,320
something you've discussed with your

358
00:13:03,430 --> 00:12:59,920
husband and is it something you two

359
00:13:07,430 --> 00:13:05,350
no we haven't discussed it

360
00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:07,440
per se

361
00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:09,680
obviously we have a son so

362
00:13:13,350 --> 00:13:11,440
if he couldn't go then there would be

363
00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:13,360
absolutely no way in the world

364
00:13:21,269 --> 00:13:18,829
and my

365
00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:21,279
friends you know a question like that is

366
00:13:25,110 --> 00:13:23,360
hard to answer until until the

367
00:13:28,150 --> 00:13:25,120
possibility you know is absolutely there

368
00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:28,160
to do it and so uh you know

369
00:13:31,190 --> 00:13:29,440
right now i'd have to say no i don't

370
00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:31,200
think we would do it but you never know

371
00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:33,360
when it gets down to the

372
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:35,200
down to it and and people are actually

373
00:13:38,389 --> 00:13:36,480
doing it

374
00:13:40,150 --> 00:13:38,399
and depending on who can go with me

375
00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:40,160
it would make a big difference

376
00:13:43,269 --> 00:13:41,440
okay we're going to switch just for a

377
00:13:44,629 --> 00:13:43,279
moment we've had the invitation for

378
00:13:47,350 --> 00:13:44,639
people to be able to submit questions

379
00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:47,360
via twitter using the hashtag asknasa

380
00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:48,880
and amico carter i think he's got a

381
00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:50,320
question for us

382
00:13:55,670 --> 00:13:52,560
yes okay so we have a question here um

383
00:13:57,990 --> 00:13:55,680
comes to us on twitter from anthony what

384
00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:58,000
is the most common problem on an earth

385
00:14:07,670 --> 00:13:59,839
orbiting space station that astronauts

386
00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:09,590
the most common problem is what happens

387
00:14:13,110 --> 00:14:12,320
to our bodies with the lack of gravity

388
00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:13,120
and

389
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:14,800
the fact that we

390
00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:16,720
lose bone mass and our hearts don't have

391
00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:18,320
to work quite as hard

392
00:14:22,949 --> 00:14:19,440
and

393
00:14:24,629 --> 00:14:22,959
the training then would be physical

394
00:14:26,710 --> 00:14:24,639
because we need to keep our bodies

395
00:14:29,350 --> 00:14:26,720
moving and make our body our bodies are

396
00:14:30,949 --> 00:14:29,360
very smart and as soon as the body

397
00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:30,959
realizes that we don't need those bones

398
00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:32,160
to hold us up

399
00:14:36,790 --> 00:14:34,320
the bones start to degrade and so we

400
00:14:39,189 --> 00:14:36,800
need to use artificial means of

401
00:14:41,110 --> 00:14:39,199
well not artificial but exercising where

402
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:41,120
we don't necessarily need to to survive

403
00:14:45,189 --> 00:14:43,760
on the station but to come back so i

404
00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:45,199
would say that's probably the most

405
00:14:49,509 --> 00:14:47,279
important that i see

406
00:14:50,949 --> 00:14:49,519
okay and one more question via twitter

407
00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:50,959
yeah we have another great one this one

408
00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:52,240
comes to us

409
00:14:57,350 --> 00:14:55,440
on a facebook it comes from c neues at

410
00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:57,360
any time the space station is staffed by

411
00:15:01,430 --> 00:14:59,600
citizens of several different countries

412
00:15:06,470 --> 00:15:01,440
how do you deal with each other's

413
00:15:10,150 --> 00:15:08,230
i think i could answer that since i'm a

414
00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:10,160
citizens of a different country living

415
00:15:14,710 --> 00:15:12,720
in a different country

416
00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:14,720
it's uh i think that

417
00:15:19,189 --> 00:15:17,040
uh the way we are selected and the way

418
00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:19,199
the program is moving forward

419
00:15:22,389 --> 00:15:20,880
we are

420
00:15:24,069 --> 00:15:22,399
we we just

421
00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:24,079
don't even think about those differences

422
00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:26,560
we are all we have a common back

423
00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:28,320
background and but mostly we have a

424
00:15:32,069 --> 00:15:31,120
common focus and and uh and goal

425
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:32,079
we

426
00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:35,360
uh

427
00:15:41,829 --> 00:15:36,160
don't

428
00:15:43,829 --> 00:15:41,839
problems because we we realize that uh

429
00:15:45,590 --> 00:15:43,839
working and living together is is part

430
00:15:49,269 --> 00:15:45,600
of the environment and i think we were

431
00:15:50,470 --> 00:15:49,279
selected uh in our and and trained to

432
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:50,480
work in

433
00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:52,560
in a multinational environment

434
00:15:55,670 --> 00:15:54,320
and

435
00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:55,680
i think we are the world champions of

436
00:15:59,269 --> 00:15:58,079
corporations when it comes to that

437
00:16:01,269 --> 00:15:59,279
all right and i believe

438
00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:01,279
i think the

439
00:16:05,509 --> 00:16:04,000
main role for crew international crew

440
00:16:07,829 --> 00:16:05,519
then the crew

441
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:07,839
for me for example like commander which

442
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:10,480
is station commander it's we don't have

443
00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:12,399
americans we don't have russians we

444
00:16:16,949 --> 00:16:14,560
don't have italians we have luka we have

445
00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:16,959
current we have further we have one crew

446
00:16:21,509 --> 00:16:19,279
member it's the first second one

447
00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:21,519
sometimes we use the language what kind

448
00:16:26,470 --> 00:16:24,000
of language we used and it's astronauts

449
00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:26,480
cosmonauts joke it's we used english and

450
00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:27,920
really what is their english it's

451
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:30,240
russian and english it's mixed it's very

452
00:16:35,189 --> 00:16:32,560
terrible mixed very funny when we have

453
00:16:37,269 --> 00:16:35,199
for example t time it's t time on

454
00:16:39,829 --> 00:16:37,279
station it's very important that all

455
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:39,839
crew are together and we may talk about

456
00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:43,680
our family about our daughters sons etc

457
00:16:51,829 --> 00:16:47,680
etc etc about news from station and it's

458
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:51,839
very funny to hear like american

459
00:16:57,110 --> 00:16:53,920
used russian language and all russian

460
00:16:59,030 --> 00:16:57,120
news english languages we have one

461
00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:59,040
italian now and

462
00:17:02,829 --> 00:17:01,759
i hope after flight we may use italy

463
00:17:06,309 --> 00:17:02,839
thank

464
00:17:07,909 --> 00:17:06,319
back to this room and we have another

465
00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:07,919
question hi you spoke about the

466
00:17:12,549 --> 00:17:09,600
challenges of the things that happen in

467
00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:12,559
your bodies while you're in flight and i

468
00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:13,760
was wondering if you could talk a little

469
00:17:16,949 --> 00:17:16,000
bit about the experiments that you have

470
00:17:18,630 --> 00:17:16,959
chosen

471
00:17:20,949 --> 00:17:18,640
to participate in

472
00:17:23,189 --> 00:17:20,959
where you're monitoring in some way

473
00:17:25,829 --> 00:17:23,199
you're going to be sending some feedback

474
00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:25,839
on some of those changes

475
00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:27,520
one of the important things right now

476
00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:28,720
that we've discovered you've probably

477
00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:30,720
heard is we've seen a lot of astronauts

478
00:17:34,710 --> 00:17:33,760
come back with blurred eyesight

479
00:17:36,230 --> 00:17:34,720
and

480
00:17:38,789 --> 00:17:36,240
i've volunteered they're doing a new

481
00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:38,799
study now to really look deep into that

482
00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:40,080
and so

483
00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:41,760
i volunteered to to get into that

484
00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:43,039
because i think that's very important

485
00:17:47,669 --> 00:17:45,280
especially as we start traveling further

486
00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:47,679
out and spending more time away we we

487
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:49,440
really can't afford to have the

488
00:17:53,669 --> 00:17:51,520
astronauts or the crew members come back

489
00:17:55,110 --> 00:17:53,679
with their eyesight decades so they're

490
00:17:56,870 --> 00:17:55,120
doing a lot of studying now to try and

491
00:17:58,230 --> 00:17:56,880
figure out what is the problem why

492
00:18:00,390 --> 00:17:58,240
that's happening and so we can figure

493
00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:00,400
out how to mitigate it we're also

494
00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:04,640
looking at i'm taking part as in a

495
00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:06,720
hip bone study where we're looking at

496
00:18:10,470 --> 00:18:08,480
this is like a preliminary one to look

497
00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:10,480
at if we can see how we can see

498
00:18:14,310 --> 00:18:12,480
structural changes in bones not just

499
00:18:16,789 --> 00:18:14,320
density changes but actual structural

500
00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:16,799
changes we know that we lose density but

501
00:18:20,230 --> 00:18:18,880
we don't know if there's something

502
00:18:21,669 --> 00:18:20,240
happening in the bone where the bone

503
00:18:22,950 --> 00:18:21,679
actually looks different when we come

504
00:18:23,990 --> 00:18:22,960
back and so that's another one that

505
00:18:26,470 --> 00:18:24,000
we're doing so i think those are a

506
00:18:27,510 --> 00:18:26,480
couple of really important ones

507
00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:27,520
all right and i think we'll have another

508
00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:29,120
question here

509
00:18:33,669 --> 00:18:31,520
i'm jim oberg for nbc news

510
00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:33,679
and one of the purposes of course of the

511
00:18:39,029 --> 00:18:36,400
station also is to go beyond it can you

512
00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:39,039
comment to us relative to this 500-day

513
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:41,440
mars mission proposal and other ideas

514
00:18:46,870 --> 00:18:43,760
what will be going on on the station in

515
00:18:49,029 --> 00:18:46,880
terms of life support system reliability

516
00:18:51,669 --> 00:18:49,039
that will contribute to someday

517
00:18:54,870 --> 00:18:51,679
being able to go 500 days or more

518
00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:54,880
without repair or without resupply into

519
00:18:58,549 --> 00:18:56,480
deep space so what are things going to

520
00:19:00,310 --> 00:18:58,559
be happening on your mission that will

521
00:19:01,830 --> 00:19:00,320
advance the day when we can finally

522
00:19:07,029 --> 00:19:01,840
decide we can

523
00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:08,070
now

524
00:19:14,150 --> 00:19:10,960
the historical we began uh with this

525
00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:14,160
station in iss station like isis station

526
00:19:19,990 --> 00:19:17,360
it's the maybe in 93 95 like this we had

527
00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:20,000
decision about build the station and we

528
00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:22,240
had experience with mr station and we

529
00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:25,200
continued this meal station to check how

530
00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:27,840
long the station can walk like this

531
00:19:32,070 --> 00:19:30,080
design worked in space and which station

532
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:32,080
had 15 years

533
00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:35,520
continued now fgb for example the

534
00:19:41,590 --> 00:19:38,960
fgb is 15 years old

535
00:19:43,909 --> 00:19:41,600
it should be 50 yen years old and in my

536
00:19:46,150 --> 00:19:43,919
eva for example i should change with

537
00:19:47,990 --> 00:19:46,160
missouri can change the pump thermo

538
00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:48,000
control system pump

539
00:19:52,390 --> 00:19:50,480
because it's 15 years old now but it

540
00:19:56,870 --> 00:19:52,400
works perfect

541
00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:56,880
we should continue the iss and now every

542
00:20:03,029 --> 00:19:59,280
designers are sure that me we may

543
00:20:06,149 --> 00:20:03,039
continue the iss station 10 yes more

544
00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:06,159
so each data from each sensors each data

545
00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:08,799
from each computers each data from each

546
00:20:13,669 --> 00:20:11,120
equipment on station we have this data

547
00:20:16,310 --> 00:20:13,679
designers anytime check this

548
00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:16,320
the controllers anytime have this data

549
00:20:20,630 --> 00:20:18,320
and this experience look i told you

550
00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:20,640
about technological experience one

551
00:20:27,830 --> 00:20:23,760
off-road it's one off-road in station

552
00:20:30,310 --> 00:20:27,840
what what kind of data station gives us

553
00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:30,320
about oxygen and water recycling systems

554
00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:33,200
and carbon dioxide recycling

555
00:20:37,029 --> 00:20:35,120
are you going to be implementing any new

556
00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:37,039
hardware or just testing the stuff

557
00:20:39,830 --> 00:20:38,480
that's there already

558
00:20:41,909 --> 00:20:39,840
in our increment i think we'll just be

559
00:20:44,870 --> 00:20:41,919
continuing to use the systems that we

560
00:20:47,350 --> 00:20:44,880
have where we are recycling the water we

561
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:47,360
are producing the oxygen um

562
00:20:50,789 --> 00:20:49,520
and those systems have been working very

563
00:20:52,390 --> 00:20:50,799
well and i'm sure there's going to be

564
00:20:53,909 --> 00:20:52,400
times when they break down and that's

565
00:20:54,950 --> 00:20:53,919
what when we learn

566
00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:54,960
and

567
00:20:58,230 --> 00:20:56,240
you know continue to study how to

568
00:21:00,470 --> 00:20:58,240
optimize them because certainly we need

569
00:21:03,190 --> 00:21:00,480
to be able to not you know be able to

570
00:21:05,190 --> 00:21:03,200
recycle and eventually bring in plants

571
00:21:06,789 --> 00:21:05,200
so we can absorb carbon dioxide produce

572
00:21:09,029 --> 00:21:06,799
oxygen that way as well for the long

573
00:21:11,510 --> 00:21:09,039
term so yeah and you should understand

574
00:21:13,909 --> 00:21:11,520
that we now have russian and american

575
00:21:15,350 --> 00:21:13,919
systems and we have backup system for

576
00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:15,360
each site too

577
00:21:19,669 --> 00:21:18,240
so it's three four times it's safe

578
00:21:21,190 --> 00:21:19,679
there is one piece of equipment that's

579
00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:21,200
coming up on the station with us and

580
00:21:26,230 --> 00:21:24,159
it's an o2 sensors for oxygen

581
00:21:29,270 --> 00:21:26,240
um that one will be

582
00:21:31,270 --> 00:21:29,280
will be used from now on so it's a new

583
00:21:32,710 --> 00:21:31,280
equipment it's an evolution of of all

584
00:21:35,510 --> 00:21:32,720
the equipment that we had on the station

585
00:21:37,350 --> 00:21:35,520
so the idea is that yes we we keep we

586
00:21:39,430 --> 00:21:37,360
keep testing and we keep evolving in our

587
00:21:41,029 --> 00:21:39,440
knowledge and in our equipment and one

588
00:21:42,549 --> 00:21:41,039
of the experiments that that will be on

589
00:21:45,029 --> 00:21:42,559
the station while we're up as a matter

590
00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:45,039
of fact is a is also another

591
00:21:48,070 --> 00:21:47,039
sensor for the control of the quality of

592
00:21:50,149 --> 00:21:48,080
the air

593
00:21:51,430 --> 00:21:50,159
and this specific sensor

594
00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:51,440
i'm talking about it because it's an

595
00:21:54,950 --> 00:21:53,600
italian experiment but

596
00:21:56,390 --> 00:21:54,960
it just

597
00:21:59,669 --> 00:21:56,400
happened to be on the station when i'm

598
00:22:01,350 --> 00:21:59,679
up and what it is it analyzes particles

599
00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:01,360
uh in order to understand what is the

600
00:22:05,510 --> 00:22:03,440
quality of the air repercussions are

601
00:22:07,029 --> 00:22:05,520
both for the space station where

602
00:22:09,029 --> 00:22:07,039
obviously to work in a healthy

603
00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:09,039
environment is important for astronauts

604
00:22:13,029 --> 00:22:11,440
especially for a long duration but even

605
00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:13,039
on the ground we could use

606
00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:15,120
the repercussion is that a small

607
00:22:18,310 --> 00:22:16,320
instrument that

608
00:22:19,430 --> 00:22:18,320
monitors the quality of the air is

609
00:22:21,510 --> 00:22:19,440
useful

610
00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:21,520
for control of environment even on the

611
00:22:23,830 --> 00:22:22,320
earth

612
00:22:25,270 --> 00:22:23,840
okay with that we're going to take a

613
00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:25,280
quick break from johnson space center

614
00:22:27,830 --> 00:22:26,640
and switch over to our friends at

615
00:22:31,110 --> 00:22:27,840
kennedy space center where they also

616
00:22:36,310 --> 00:22:33,669
um hi this is uh todd halverson of

617
00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:36,320
florida today and i have a question and

618
00:22:41,669 --> 00:22:38,320
then a follow if i could the first

619
00:22:43,909 --> 00:22:41,679
question is for fyodor and luca i am

620
00:22:47,750 --> 00:22:43,919
wondering if you could describe for us

621
00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:47,760
karen and her personality and what she

622
00:22:56,390 --> 00:22:49,679
is like to work with and then i have a

623
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:02,230
nobody else could be

624
00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:04,470
i can start

625
00:23:08,950 --> 00:23:05,760
and

626
00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:08,960
met since the very first day that i that

627
00:23:12,870 --> 00:23:11,200
i moved here to johnson space center for

628
00:23:14,710 --> 00:23:12,880
the from the european astronaut center

629
00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:14,720
and we've been training together ever

630
00:23:16,549 --> 00:23:15,600
since

631
00:23:19,029 --> 00:23:16,559
and

632
00:23:21,430 --> 00:23:19,039
ever since the beginning uh karen is a

633
00:23:23,669 --> 00:23:21,440
flown astronaut a wonderful experience

634
00:23:24,630 --> 00:23:23,679
and the relationship between us is that

635
00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:24,640
of uh

636
00:23:28,789 --> 00:23:26,720
for me she's like a big sister the cool

637
00:23:31,590 --> 00:23:28,799
big sister that has done done it before

638
00:23:32,549 --> 00:23:31,600
and can uh teach me how to how to do it

639
00:23:35,110 --> 00:23:32,559
myself

640
00:23:36,950 --> 00:23:35,120
and um

641
00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:36,960
and it it feels like that we train

642
00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:39,520
together but also outside of the

643
00:23:42,230 --> 00:23:40,640
of the

644
00:23:43,830 --> 00:23:42,240
space training environment we we go

645
00:23:45,029 --> 00:23:43,840
running out together we go to the gym

646
00:23:46,789 --> 00:23:45,039
together and

647
00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:46,799
we share our experience she's a mother

648
00:23:50,630 --> 00:23:48,640
i'm a father we talk about our kids who

649
00:23:52,149 --> 00:23:50,640
happen to have the same to be the same

650
00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:52,159
age so uh

651
00:23:56,310 --> 00:23:54,000
it really it really is like that it's uh

652
00:23:58,310 --> 00:23:56,320
karen is the the cool big sister that

653
00:24:02,710 --> 00:23:58,320
every every guy would have would love to

654
00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:04,870
and we do have a follow-up

655
00:24:10,310 --> 00:24:08,000
yeah yeah i did thanks um this is uh for

656
00:24:12,950 --> 00:24:10,320
karen you're an avid runner and an

657
00:24:15,110 --> 00:24:12,960
accomplished uh marathoner i'm i'm

658
00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:15,120
wondering if you can uh tell me how you

659
00:24:18,549 --> 00:24:16,000
think

660
00:24:22,230 --> 00:24:18,559
that experience might serve you during

661
00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:22,240
your tour on the space station thanks

662
00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:23,840
yes i

663
00:24:29,110 --> 00:24:27,440
haven't run marathons recently but uh

664
00:24:31,909 --> 00:24:29,120
when i was not a mother and training for

665
00:24:33,430 --> 00:24:31,919
space flight i i did quite frequently

666
00:24:35,830 --> 00:24:33,440
and

667
00:24:37,190 --> 00:24:35,840
i think one thing marathons teach you is

668
00:24:38,630 --> 00:24:37,200
invariably when you're in the middle of

669
00:24:42,470 --> 00:24:38,640
a marathon usually around somewhere

670
00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:42,480
between mile 15 and 25

671
00:24:46,149 --> 00:24:44,559
there comes a point when you just

672
00:24:48,149 --> 00:24:46,159
you just can't stand it anymore and you

673
00:24:49,669 --> 00:24:48,159
want to quit really bad

674
00:24:52,070 --> 00:24:49,679
and uh

675
00:24:53,430 --> 00:24:52,080
i think uh and you find a way to power

676
00:24:55,590 --> 00:24:53,440
through it and in the end it turns out

677
00:24:57,029 --> 00:24:55,600
that you're so happy you didn't

678
00:24:58,950 --> 00:24:57,039
and there were a number of times where

679
00:25:01,269 --> 00:24:58,960
i'd walk at a water station drinking my

680
00:25:02,950 --> 00:25:01,279
water and i'm like i can't make one foot

681
00:25:05,110 --> 00:25:02,960
go in front of the other again you know

682
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:05,120
but i did and i can imagine that when

683
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:06,640
you're on space station for such a long

684
00:25:09,269 --> 00:25:08,080
period of time and you miss your family

685
00:25:10,149 --> 00:25:09,279
dearly

686
00:25:12,470 --> 00:25:10,159
that

687
00:25:13,990 --> 00:25:12,480
at times you probably wonder

688
00:25:15,350 --> 00:25:14,000
how in the world am i going to make it

689
00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:15,360
till tomorrow i want to give my son a

690
00:25:19,669 --> 00:25:17,760
hug you know but you'll power through it

691
00:25:21,990 --> 00:25:19,679
and i think that um

692
00:25:23,269 --> 00:25:22,000
i think that kind of correlates well and

693
00:25:25,990 --> 00:25:23,279
you find the strength to do what you

694
00:25:27,669 --> 00:25:26,000
need to do to get the job done

695
00:25:29,669 --> 00:25:27,679
really good words with that we're going

696
00:25:31,350 --> 00:25:29,679
to switch over now to the european space

697
00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:31,360
agency which also has some questions for

698
00:25:40,789 --> 00:25:38,549
hello this is julie here from the

699
00:25:42,870 --> 00:25:40,799
european astronaut center

700
00:25:44,549 --> 00:25:42,880
we have a few questions from luca that

701
00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:44,559
we have uh

702
00:25:49,510 --> 00:25:47,760
gathered on the social media

703
00:25:51,269 --> 00:25:49,520
the first one is from the irish space

704
00:25:54,070 --> 00:25:51,279
blog

705
00:25:56,630 --> 00:25:54,080
asking luca what are the main goals of

706
00:26:00,230 --> 00:25:56,640
your mission

707
00:26:01,350 --> 00:26:00,240
oh wow uh main goals so was that as i

708
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:01,360
said before

709
00:26:07,110 --> 00:26:04,640
um we we i like to think that in my

710
00:26:09,269 --> 00:26:07,120
expedition we actually do

711
00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:09,279
that we do work on the three objectives

712
00:26:14,710 --> 00:26:12,960
of of technology science and exploration

713
00:26:16,630 --> 00:26:14,720
for technology

714
00:26:18,070 --> 00:26:16,640
we will be working

715
00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:18,080
for

716
00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:20,080
one of the very first times on the on

717
00:26:25,029 --> 00:26:23,520
the quick rendezvous same day rendezvous

718
00:26:26,870 --> 00:26:25,039
it's a new development it's something

719
00:26:29,430 --> 00:26:26,880
that until now it has not been done it

720
00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:29,440
will be done one time before we do but

721
00:26:32,310 --> 00:26:30,480
fiore and i will be the first

722
00:26:33,269 --> 00:26:32,320
international crew to work on it so i'd

723
00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:33,279
like to

724
00:26:36,390 --> 00:26:34,960
uh to think that that's a small

725
00:26:39,029 --> 00:26:36,400
contribution and it's one of the

726
00:26:40,470 --> 00:26:39,039
objectives i'd like to accomplish

727
00:26:41,990 --> 00:26:40,480
of course i'm looking forward to

728
00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:42,000
complete

729
00:26:47,269 --> 00:26:44,480
uh to perform all the tasks in my in my

730
00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:47,279
ebas that are planned now

731
00:26:50,950 --> 00:26:49,520
and uh certainly

732
00:26:53,110 --> 00:26:50,960
there is a there is something that's

733
00:26:56,870 --> 00:26:53,120
really this very much of my mind

734
00:26:58,870 --> 00:26:56,880
uh thirdly i would like to uh

735
00:27:01,830 --> 00:26:58,880
to comply with the with the requirements

736
00:27:03,269 --> 00:27:01,840
of the space station for uh the science

737
00:27:05,190 --> 00:27:03,279
that we do and

738
00:27:06,950 --> 00:27:05,200
again possibly not break any of the

739
00:27:08,549 --> 00:27:06,960
experiments

740
00:27:11,110 --> 00:27:08,559
and in the end probably

741
00:27:14,149 --> 00:27:11,120
the uh the biggest objective i have is

742
00:27:15,990 --> 00:27:14,159
to have fun and what i mean is that um

743
00:27:17,430 --> 00:27:16,000
coming from an operational environment

744
00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:17,440
that was a fighter pilot then a test

745
00:27:20,549 --> 00:27:18,720
pilot

746
00:27:23,269 --> 00:27:20,559
we do very cool jobs but sometimes we

747
00:27:25,510 --> 00:27:23,279
need to stop for five seconds and think

748
00:27:28,070 --> 00:27:25,520
what i'm doing is really is really great

749
00:27:29,909 --> 00:27:28,080
and it's a lot of fun and even even when

750
00:27:31,110 --> 00:27:29,919
it's hard we need to realize that there

751
00:27:33,029 --> 00:27:31,120
are a lot of people that would like to

752
00:27:38,310 --> 00:27:33,039
win our places and so

753
00:27:43,909 --> 00:27:41,510
another question from kierkos mimikos

754
00:27:47,510 --> 00:27:43,919
about how many experiments will you

755
00:27:49,750 --> 00:27:47,520
conduct during the your mission

756
00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:49,760
uh so at any time on the space station

757
00:27:54,070 --> 00:27:50,880
we have

758
00:27:56,310 --> 00:27:54,080
between 130 and 150 experiments that are

759
00:27:58,070 --> 00:27:56,320
that are running uh now the astronauts

760
00:27:59,590 --> 00:27:58,080
don't interact with all of them we

761
00:28:00,389 --> 00:27:59,600
interact about with two-thirds of them

762
00:28:03,909 --> 00:28:00,399
so

763
00:28:05,590 --> 00:28:03,919
probably about 100 experiments uh we

764
00:28:07,430 --> 00:28:05,600
uh

765
00:28:09,350 --> 00:28:07,440
with some experiments we we have a lot

766
00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:09,360
of interaction where we install them and

767
00:28:13,830 --> 00:28:11,520
control them and start them others we

768
00:28:16,789 --> 00:28:13,840
just uh make sure that the the power is

769
00:28:20,149 --> 00:28:16,799
running and so on and

770
00:28:21,990 --> 00:28:20,159
there are i volunteered in in all

771
00:28:24,789 --> 00:28:22,000
all of the physiology experiments in my

772
00:28:26,310 --> 00:28:24,799
increment i think there is in excess of

773
00:28:28,389 --> 00:28:26,320
10 or 15

774
00:28:30,230 --> 00:28:28,399
and those obviously require a lot of

775
00:28:32,389 --> 00:28:30,240
interaction from my part because i would

776
00:28:34,149 --> 00:28:32,399
be the the subject of the of the

777
00:28:35,590 --> 00:28:34,159
experiments so

778
00:28:38,230 --> 00:28:35,600
um

779
00:28:39,750 --> 00:28:38,240
that i would say that uh that completely

780
00:28:41,510 --> 00:28:39,760
answered the question so about 20 where

781
00:28:44,230 --> 00:28:41,520
i'm deeply involved about 100 that i

782
00:28:45,669 --> 00:28:44,240
will be interacting with and about 150

783
00:28:49,990 --> 00:28:45,679
that are running currently on the

784
00:28:54,230 --> 00:28:52,549
and about that anna kell is curious to

785
00:28:57,350 --> 00:28:54,240
know if you will be the if you will do

786
00:28:59,190 --> 00:28:57,360
the experiment with the fire

787
00:29:00,310 --> 00:28:59,200
with fire

788
00:29:02,389 --> 00:29:00,320
um

789
00:29:04,870 --> 00:29:02,399
hopefully uh

790
00:29:06,470 --> 00:29:04,880
hopefully we are talking about

791
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:06,480
i think we are talking about combustion

792
00:29:10,230 --> 00:29:08,720
and yes there is a there is a combustion

793
00:29:11,590 --> 00:29:10,240
experiment that we're doing on the spec

794
00:29:12,470 --> 00:29:11,600
on the space station it's called green

795
00:29:13,750 --> 00:29:12,480
air

796
00:29:15,669 --> 00:29:13,760
and

797
00:29:17,190 --> 00:29:15,679
the it's not really fire what we're

798
00:29:18,549 --> 00:29:17,200
doing is we are

799
00:29:20,389 --> 00:29:18,559
studying

800
00:29:22,310 --> 00:29:20,399
how biofuels

801
00:29:25,269 --> 00:29:22,320
work

802
00:29:27,269 --> 00:29:25,279
and how we can decrease the amount of

803
00:29:29,750 --> 00:29:27,279
toxic substances that are generated

804
00:29:32,870 --> 00:29:29,760
during a combustion so the idea is to to

805
00:29:34,549 --> 00:29:32,880
have a simplified environment because we

806
00:29:36,870 --> 00:29:34,559
don't have the effect of the gravity on

807
00:29:39,029 --> 00:29:36,880
the on the space station and so

808
00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:39,039
yes we will be playing with fire

809
00:29:49,430 --> 00:29:47,590
another question from reiner krasken

810
00:29:51,430 --> 00:29:49,440
what are for you the pros and cons of

811
00:29:53,029 --> 00:29:51,440
the fast launch to docking procedure and

812
00:29:59,110 --> 00:29:53,039
that's also maybe a question to the

813
00:30:04,870 --> 00:30:01,830
but i think the question is about the

814
00:30:07,510 --> 00:30:04,880
short rendezvous one for orbits and

815
00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:07,520
longer than they were days yes and

816
00:30:12,710 --> 00:30:10,240
for me because it's now the uh the first

817
00:30:15,190 --> 00:30:12,720
of all it's the pavel screw

818
00:30:17,830 --> 00:30:15,200
bible vinogradov the launch it should be

819
00:30:20,549 --> 00:30:17,840
in end of march is the first

820
00:30:23,029 --> 00:30:20,559
this is the first uh flight when we

821
00:30:26,310 --> 00:30:23,039
should use the short rendezvous for

822
00:30:28,789 --> 00:30:26,320
robits for me it's more for crew it's

823
00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:28,799
more easier to do it and more helpful

824
00:30:34,630 --> 00:30:32,080
for crew because it's not two days in

825
00:30:37,269 --> 00:30:34,640
soyuz spacecraft because of spacecraft

826
00:30:39,269 --> 00:30:37,279
the volume it's not so big for it's it's

827
00:30:42,149 --> 00:30:39,279
enough for three people but the station

828
00:30:46,549 --> 00:30:42,159
it's more biggest more comfortable uh

829
00:30:49,110 --> 00:30:46,559
the three guys on the station will

830
00:30:51,990 --> 00:30:49,120
would like to meet us and have a news

831
00:30:56,230 --> 00:30:52,000
for us have something else for us yeah

832
00:30:58,789 --> 00:30:56,240
and uh for us now we wait uh pavel's

833
00:31:00,549 --> 00:30:58,799
flight and after fly our pavel slide we

834
00:31:02,870 --> 00:31:00,559
will have russian side will have

835
00:31:04,389 --> 00:31:02,880
decision about about

836
00:31:07,750 --> 00:31:04,399
our crew

837
00:31:10,070 --> 00:31:07,760
are ready for

838
00:31:12,789 --> 00:31:10,080
both of dockings

839
00:31:15,190 --> 00:31:12,799
we want it all together have a short

840
00:31:18,470 --> 00:31:15,200
flight rendezvous i asked karen the

841
00:31:21,830 --> 00:31:18,480
first and i asked luca when we began

842
00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:21,840
discussion about this i told about the

843
00:31:26,149 --> 00:31:24,960
plus and minus for both of these and

844
00:31:29,110 --> 00:31:26,159
after

845
00:31:31,669 --> 00:31:29,120
several trainings now in star city we

846
00:31:33,029 --> 00:31:31,679
understood each of us understood very

847
00:31:35,830 --> 00:31:33,039
nice the

848
00:31:39,269 --> 00:31:35,840
task everybody's task for a short flight

849
00:31:41,110 --> 00:31:39,279
and short run they will so for orbits i

850
00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:41,120
wanted to have a four bits because it

851
00:31:46,710 --> 00:31:43,679
will be the first time when the two

852
00:31:49,990 --> 00:31:46,720
foreign astronauts in the crew and we

853
00:31:52,549 --> 00:31:50,000
can do it this i am sure about luka like

854
00:31:54,549 --> 00:31:52,559
flight engineer i am very sure about

855
00:31:57,669 --> 00:31:54,559
karen and i would like to use current

856
00:32:00,950 --> 00:31:57,679
space experience in this time because i

857
00:32:03,029 --> 00:32:00,960
give just a little more options for here

858
00:32:05,909 --> 00:32:03,039
not like on procedure

859
00:32:13,750 --> 00:32:05,919
so we want it but the decision again

860
00:32:18,470 --> 00:32:16,230
another question from simon proud

861
00:32:20,950 --> 00:32:18,480
um obviously the um one important place

862
00:32:23,029 --> 00:32:20,960
on the space station is the cupola and

863
00:32:24,870 --> 00:32:23,039
uh luca is there a place on earth that

864
00:32:28,630 --> 00:32:24,880
you particularly look forward to to

865
00:32:32,710 --> 00:32:30,789
i've been uh i've been lucky enough in

866
00:32:34,149 --> 00:32:32,720
my in my work experience and my

867
00:32:35,990 --> 00:32:34,159
professional experience to live in many

868
00:32:37,190 --> 00:32:36,000
different places i was born in sicily

869
00:32:38,230 --> 00:32:37,200
but then i

870
00:32:45,990 --> 00:32:38,240
i

871
00:32:48,549 --> 00:32:46,000
um

872
00:32:51,430 --> 00:32:48,559
i moved to naples for the academy

873
00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:51,440
i went to wichita falls for

874
00:32:54,630 --> 00:32:53,440
battle training then back to italy near

875
00:32:55,350 --> 00:32:54,640
forja for

876
00:32:56,950 --> 00:32:55,360
my

877
00:32:59,430 --> 00:32:56,960
college experience

878
00:33:02,710 --> 00:32:59,440
and then rome has a test pilot friends

879
00:33:04,950 --> 00:33:02,720
for school germany now in houston so

880
00:33:08,310 --> 00:33:04,960
i have a list of places where i lived

881
00:33:09,909 --> 00:33:08,320
that that i've i'm attached

882
00:33:11,909 --> 00:33:09,919
because i lived there and i have a

883
00:33:13,990 --> 00:33:11,919
special relationship with each and every

884
00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:14,000
of those places so i would like to i

885
00:33:17,350 --> 00:33:15,760
would like to have a good site from from

886
00:33:23,190 --> 00:33:17,360
space on and

887
00:33:28,789 --> 00:33:26,070
another question from robert souza

888
00:33:30,870 --> 00:33:28,799
about there's been so many flights now

889
00:33:31,830 --> 00:33:30,880
it's uh you're flying every three months

890
00:33:33,830 --> 00:33:31,840
and

891
00:33:36,230 --> 00:33:33,840
for you luca do you consider your flight

892
00:33:37,590 --> 00:33:36,240
as a routine operation

893
00:33:39,110 --> 00:33:37,600
routine

894
00:33:40,789 --> 00:33:39,120
that's a that's an interesting point of

895
00:33:42,789 --> 00:33:40,799
view i i don't think there is anything

896
00:33:43,669 --> 00:33:42,799
routine about space

897
00:33:48,789 --> 00:33:43,679
that

898
00:33:50,630 --> 00:33:48,799
are very are very good and they they

899
00:33:53,269 --> 00:33:50,640
make something extremely complicated

900
00:33:55,190 --> 00:33:53,279
like space flight look easy

901
00:33:56,950 --> 00:33:55,200
but that doesn't make it easy they make

902
00:33:58,470 --> 00:33:56,960
it look easy so

903
00:34:01,029 --> 00:33:58,480
there's nothing routine about space

904
00:34:03,269 --> 00:34:01,039
flight every every every every launch is

905
00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:03,279
a is a test is an experiment

906
00:34:07,909 --> 00:34:05,760
every every day is a challenge

907
00:34:10,149 --> 00:34:07,919
every every day on the space station we

908
00:34:13,109 --> 00:34:10,159
need to support the life of six people

909
00:34:14,470 --> 00:34:13,119
uh completely isolated from from earth

910
00:34:16,230 --> 00:34:14,480
so

911
00:34:20,950 --> 00:34:16,240
quickly no there's nothing routine about

912
00:34:25,750 --> 00:34:22,629
thank you and the last question from

913
00:34:27,589 --> 00:34:25,760
from isa from joachim batist on your

914
00:34:29,349 --> 00:34:27,599
personal side on the personal side do

915
00:34:31,190 --> 00:34:29,359
you have specific goals

916
00:34:32,950 --> 00:34:31,200
that you want to achieve during your

917
00:34:35,990 --> 00:34:32,960
mission

918
00:34:36,869 --> 00:34:36,000
a specific goal um well

919
00:34:38,869 --> 00:34:36,879
uh

920
00:34:40,230 --> 00:34:38,879
i i didn't put down the numbers of what

921
00:34:41,829 --> 00:34:40,240
i want to do but

922
00:34:43,349 --> 00:34:41,839
uh if there's one thing that i would

923
00:34:45,909 --> 00:34:43,359
like to do that i think

924
00:34:48,790 --> 00:34:45,919
is not done enough is to bring people

925
00:34:51,349 --> 00:34:48,800
inside the space station and what i mean

926
00:34:53,750 --> 00:34:51,359
with that is that i think we have a lot

927
00:34:56,069 --> 00:34:53,760
of wonderful pictures from orbit of

928
00:34:58,069 --> 00:34:56,079
places on the ground beautiful pictures

929
00:35:00,230 --> 00:34:58,079
i would like to to take more pictures of

930
00:35:03,030 --> 00:35:00,240
what we do on the space station and

931
00:35:05,349 --> 00:35:03,040
and let people fly with us on the space

932
00:35:07,990 --> 00:35:05,359
station and share that experience i

933
00:35:10,470 --> 00:35:08,000
i i always say that one of the best

934
00:35:11,670 --> 00:35:10,480
parts of my job is the people and we

935
00:35:13,349 --> 00:35:11,680
would like to bring all those people

936
00:35:15,670 --> 00:35:13,359
that work for us and with us on the

937
00:35:17,349 --> 00:35:15,680
station but we can't so maybe

938
00:35:19,190 --> 00:35:17,359
there will be a little bit of space for

939
00:35:21,270 --> 00:35:19,200
them

940
00:35:24,710 --> 00:35:21,280
through pictures and through videos of

941
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:26,310
okay and i believe that was our last

942
00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:27,760
question from the european space agency

943
00:35:31,430 --> 00:35:29,520
thanks we're going to switch back here

944
00:35:33,109 --> 00:35:31,440
to the johnson space center and take

945
00:35:35,190 --> 00:35:33,119
questions from the audience again if you

946
00:35:36,310 --> 00:35:35,200
have a question please raise your hand i

947
00:35:37,750 --> 00:35:36,320
believe we have one in the back if you

948
00:35:41,589 --> 00:35:37,760
can just wait for the microphone to get

949
00:35:47,589 --> 00:35:45,750
hi um i had a question um i'm i'm

950
00:35:51,030 --> 00:35:47,599
very curious about

951
00:35:52,550 --> 00:35:51,040
when like you actually go up into space

952
00:35:54,950 --> 00:35:52,560
what's the one thing that like you

953
00:35:56,470 --> 00:35:54,960
remember from your training

954
00:35:58,950 --> 00:35:56,480
where like you really say well i'm

955
00:36:00,150 --> 00:35:58,960
really i'm really glad that

956
00:36:01,829 --> 00:36:00,160
that like i

957
00:36:05,270 --> 00:36:01,839
i went

958
00:36:07,109 --> 00:36:05,280
through that in the training

959
00:36:09,030 --> 00:36:07,119
i think

960
00:36:11,030 --> 00:36:09,040
when that comes into play is a time we

961
00:36:13,270 --> 00:36:11,040
don't want to happen

962
00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:13,280
for emergencies

963
00:36:16,470 --> 00:36:14,560
if we have there are three main

964
00:36:18,069 --> 00:36:16,480
emergencies we can have that are pretty

965
00:36:19,670 --> 00:36:18,079
bad that could result in us going in our

966
00:36:22,230 --> 00:36:19,680
soyuz and coming home and that's a

967
00:36:24,550 --> 00:36:22,240
depress of a space station or a bad fire

968
00:36:27,430 --> 00:36:24,560
or um ammonia leak from the external

969
00:36:29,349 --> 00:36:27,440
radio that is on the u.s side and

970
00:36:32,069 --> 00:36:29,359
we train a lot for that because that is

971
00:36:34,550 --> 00:36:32,079
a case where if something happens

972
00:36:37,190 --> 00:36:34,560
we need to be able to react very very

973
00:36:38,550 --> 00:36:37,200
quickly and

974
00:36:39,990 --> 00:36:38,560
you know we don't obviously don't expect

975
00:36:40,710 --> 00:36:40,000
that to happen and we hope it doesn't

976
00:36:42,870 --> 00:36:40,720
but

977
00:36:44,150 --> 00:36:42,880
if someday in the future something like

978
00:36:45,589 --> 00:36:44,160
that happened i think that would be the

979
00:36:48,150 --> 00:36:45,599
point where people would be saying i'm

980
00:36:51,270 --> 00:36:48,160
really glad we spent the time on this

981
00:36:53,030 --> 00:36:51,280
and learned how to do this on the ground

982
00:36:55,510 --> 00:36:53,040
okay i believe we have another question

983
00:36:57,430 --> 00:36:55,520
over here yes hi i'm one of the social

984
00:36:58,710 --> 00:36:57,440
media people that was invited to come to

985
00:37:00,390 --> 00:36:58,720
the social thing and i want to thank

986
00:37:02,230 --> 00:37:00,400
nasa for that opportunity and i also

987
00:37:04,870 --> 00:37:02,240
want to explain that i found out about

988
00:37:07,190 --> 00:37:04,880
this through third rock radio which is a

989
00:37:08,390 --> 00:37:07,200
great internet radio station that is

990
00:37:09,589 --> 00:37:08,400
powered by nasa

991
00:37:10,790 --> 00:37:09,599
my question for you is sort of a

992
00:37:12,630 --> 00:37:10,800
personal one

993
00:37:15,030 --> 00:37:12,640
in the sense that all the people here

994
00:37:16,630 --> 00:37:15,040
consider y'all just complete heroes to

995
00:37:18,550 --> 00:37:16,640
us i mean we're in awe of what you do

996
00:37:29,190 --> 00:37:18,560
and what you have already accomplished

997
00:37:35,109 --> 00:37:31,349
the question it's very easy because for

998
00:37:36,310 --> 00:37:35,119
me the hero number one for each time

999
00:37:39,349 --> 00:37:36,320
any year

1000
00:37:41,430 --> 00:37:39,359
any century it's yuri gagarin first man

1001
00:37:44,230 --> 00:37:41,440
who flown to space for what reason

1002
00:37:47,349 --> 00:37:44,240
because when i grow when i was

1003
00:37:49,910 --> 00:37:47,359
a young boy since this time i hear only

1004
00:37:52,390 --> 00:37:49,920
gagarin gagarin gagarin about this in

1005
00:37:54,550 --> 00:37:52,400
when we played to them and who somebody

1006
00:37:57,510 --> 00:37:54,560
win it was gagarin and when i was too

1007
00:37:59,430 --> 00:37:57,520
small boy the i thought the gagarin is

1008
00:38:01,829 --> 00:37:59,440
like title

1009
00:38:03,750 --> 00:38:01,839
it's not the name only in school i

1010
00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:03,760
understand it's real no not in school

1011
00:38:07,750 --> 00:38:05,359
maybe before the elementary school

1012
00:38:10,470 --> 00:38:07,760
understand this is real men who flown

1013
00:38:12,310 --> 00:38:10,480
the space and then uh since these years

1014
00:38:15,910 --> 00:38:12,320
are interesting about

1015
00:38:18,310 --> 00:38:15,920
space program of course tito second one

1016
00:38:19,990 --> 00:38:18,320
leona for the first moment tirisco one

1017
00:38:23,190 --> 00:38:20,000
nail armstrong

1018
00:38:24,710 --> 00:38:23,200
great is the the program apollo program

1019
00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:24,720
and the walking

1020
00:38:28,710 --> 00:38:27,440
on the moon etc etc etc so since my

1021
00:38:32,310 --> 00:38:28,720
youngest

1022
00:38:35,510 --> 00:38:32,320
age the all astronauts cosmonauts it was

1023
00:38:38,310 --> 00:38:35,520
my hero but number one it was gagarin

1024
00:38:40,310 --> 00:38:38,320
and i am very lucky boy because the

1025
00:38:42,790 --> 00:38:40,320
dream is done and dream my dream is

1026
00:38:44,870 --> 00:38:42,800
continued thank you

1027
00:38:48,230 --> 00:38:44,880
all right look i can

1028
00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:48,240
i certainly don't feel like a hero and

1029
00:38:54,470 --> 00:38:50,880
i think that yes sorry yes of course i

1030
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,750
sorry about this

1031
00:39:03,430 --> 00:38:58,829
thank

1032
00:39:06,390 --> 00:39:04,470
so

1033
00:39:08,950 --> 00:39:06,400
to answer the question uh

1034
00:39:10,630 --> 00:39:08,960
quite the opposite i i would like to to

1035
00:39:11,430 --> 00:39:10,640
to send this message to all the people

1036
00:39:16,950 --> 00:39:11,440
there

1037
00:39:18,950 --> 00:39:16,960
the future generations that astronauts

1038
00:39:20,790 --> 00:39:18,960
in my again humble opinion are very

1039
00:39:22,550 --> 00:39:20,800
normal people i consider myself a very

1040
00:39:24,470 --> 00:39:22,560
very normal person

1041
00:39:26,470 --> 00:39:24,480
now what what we do happen to be

1042
00:39:28,630 --> 00:39:26,480
extraordinary and there's no doubt about

1043
00:39:32,630 --> 00:39:28,640
that i feel privileged

1044
00:39:35,270 --> 00:39:34,069
and i think they were asking who your

1045
00:39:37,990 --> 00:39:35,280
hero is

1046
00:39:43,589 --> 00:39:40,870
if i had to to mention one person i'd

1047
00:39:45,670 --> 00:39:43,599
probably think about my dad

1048
00:39:48,150 --> 00:39:45,680
he

1049
00:39:51,349 --> 00:39:48,160
or my parents just not one person but my

1050
00:39:53,750 --> 00:39:51,359
parents uh because

1051
00:39:56,310 --> 00:39:53,760
if they if i'm here today it's through

1052
00:39:58,310 --> 00:39:56,320
all through all day and they taught me

1053
00:39:59,589 --> 00:39:58,320
uh when i was a kid and so

1054
00:40:01,750 --> 00:39:59,599
uh i

1055
00:40:04,230 --> 00:40:01,760
it's a very good italian i stay with my

1056
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:11,990
my hair is luca parmitano

1057
00:40:15,670 --> 00:40:13,750
yes

1058
00:40:17,349 --> 00:40:15,680
a lot a lot of people like

1059
00:40:19,109 --> 00:40:17,359
um

1060
00:40:21,589 --> 00:40:19,119
growing up

1061
00:40:22,710 --> 00:40:21,599
i think i've i grew up in a stage in an

1062
00:40:24,390 --> 00:40:22,720
age where

1063
00:40:25,910 --> 00:40:24,400
being a girl wasn't

1064
00:40:27,670 --> 00:40:25,920
it was okay to do anything you wanted to

1065
00:40:29,349 --> 00:40:27,680
as a girl but i know before that it was

1066
00:40:31,270 --> 00:40:29,359
not necessarily

1067
00:40:33,030 --> 00:40:31,280
and a lot of the

1068
00:40:35,589 --> 00:40:33,040
the scientists and engineers and

1069
00:40:37,990 --> 00:40:35,599
astronaut females that came before me

1070
00:40:40,150 --> 00:40:38,000
that set the stage for it being a

1071
00:40:41,990 --> 00:40:40,160
possibility for me

1072
00:40:43,750 --> 00:40:42,000
it's pretty incredible

1073
00:40:45,990 --> 00:40:43,760
what some of those women probably had to

1074
00:40:47,109 --> 00:40:46,000
go through to make it make it easy and

1075
00:40:51,030 --> 00:40:47,119
make it

1076
00:40:54,390 --> 00:40:51,040
no question that i was able to do it

1077
00:40:56,550 --> 00:40:54,400
but i may answer this excuse me about uh

1078
00:41:00,950 --> 00:40:56,560
karen's hero unfortunately it's not

1079
00:41:04,950 --> 00:41:02,309
his son

1080
00:41:09,109 --> 00:41:04,960
only he may argue with him with karen

1081
00:41:12,710 --> 00:41:09,119
and karen don't have any time argue for

1082
00:41:16,470 --> 00:41:14,069
okay we have another question from the

1083
00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:16,480
back hi i'm michelle lewis i was curious

1084
00:41:19,990 --> 00:41:18,319
since you can take all of your

1085
00:41:21,829 --> 00:41:20,000
personal items like all of your music

1086
00:41:23,750 --> 00:41:21,839
and your photos and any books you want

1087
00:41:25,670 --> 00:41:23,760
to read on a phone

1088
00:41:27,109 --> 00:41:25,680
um are there any personal items that you

1089
00:41:29,430 --> 00:41:27,119

1090
00:41:32,630 --> 00:41:29,440

00:43:10,230 --> 00:43:07,920

share my experience with okay in the few

1139
00:43:15,910 --> 00:43:14,560
minutes that we have left we're going to

1140
00:43:17,750 --> 00:43:15,920
switch over to the phone bridge where we

1141
00:43:21,670 --> 00:43:17,760
have a couple of other reporters tying

1142
00:43:23,510 --> 00:43:21,680
in uh kevin with wday tv in fargo north

1143
00:43:25,910 --> 00:43:23,520
dakota

1144
00:43:27,430 --> 00:43:25,920
hi a question for karen and a lot of

1145
00:43:29,430 --> 00:43:27,440
astronauts have to do this but how

1146
00:43:32,950 --> 00:43:29,440
mentally do you prepare yourself to just

1147
00:43:34,870 --> 00:43:32,960
be away from your family and um also in

1148
00:43:36,710 --> 00:43:34,880
case i don't get to ask um are you

1149
00:43:38,630 --> 00:43:36,720
actually bringing anything for your

1150
00:43:41,349 --> 00:43:38,640
crafting and quilting hobby

1151
00:43:42,870 --> 00:43:41,359
hey kevin how are you um

1152
00:43:44,309 --> 00:43:42,880
i don't know if you can really mentally

1153
00:43:47,190 --> 00:43:44,319
prepare yourself to be away from your

1154
00:43:48,230 --> 00:43:47,200
family i think it it you just go with

1155
00:43:49,349 --> 00:43:48,240
the flow

1156
00:43:51,589 --> 00:43:49,359
and

1157
00:43:53,589 --> 00:43:51,599
make sure that things are in the order

1158
00:43:54,790 --> 00:43:53,599
that you would like things to be when

1159
00:43:56,550 --> 00:43:54,800
you leave and

1160
00:43:58,710 --> 00:43:56,560
and then

1161
00:44:00,309 --> 00:43:58,720
uh just do it and

1162
00:44:01,510 --> 00:44:00,319
keep in communication with them when

1163
00:44:03,190 --> 00:44:01,520
you're gone

1164
00:44:05,349 --> 00:44:03,200
so i honestly don't think you can

1165
00:44:07,430 --> 00:44:05,359
mentally prepare yourself for that

1166
00:44:08,870 --> 00:44:07,440
and so i mean i'll do what i can but

1167
00:44:09,910 --> 00:44:08,880
it's it's going to be hard when the time

1168
00:44:11,430 --> 00:44:09,920
comes and it's going to be hard to be

1169
00:44:12,790 --> 00:44:11,440
away from them but i'm not sure you can

1170
00:44:16,390 --> 00:44:12,800
prepare yourself

1171
00:44:18,150 --> 00:44:16,400
i am taking some things um i do like um

1172
00:44:19,109 --> 00:44:18,160
in my downtime i don't watch a lot of

1173
00:44:21,589 --> 00:44:19,119
movies

1174
00:44:22,710 --> 00:44:21,599
um or things like that when i

1175
00:44:27,670 --> 00:44:22,720
to

1176
00:44:29,270 --> 00:44:27,680
draw and do things like that and so i

1177
00:44:30,630 --> 00:44:29,280
brought a sketch pad some pencils that i

1178
00:44:33,109 --> 00:44:30,640
can hopefully do a little bit of

1179
00:44:34,630 --> 00:44:33,119
sketching and i brought a little bit of

1180
00:44:35,829 --> 00:44:34,640
fabric and needle and thread and i have

1181
00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:35,839
no clue yet what i'm going to do with it

1182
00:44:39,510 --> 00:44:37,440
but i'll come up with something

1183
00:44:41,270 --> 00:44:39,520
hopefully and it'll in my downtime i

1184
00:44:42,309 --> 00:44:41,280
mean a lot of the downtime you know i'm

1185
00:44:43,670 --> 00:44:42,319
going to want to spend looking out the

1186
00:44:45,510 --> 00:44:43,680
window and taking pictures and things

1187
00:44:47,589 --> 00:44:45,520
like that but i'm sure there will be

1188
00:44:49,910 --> 00:44:47,599
quiet evenings where i just kind of want

1189
00:44:51,990 --> 00:44:49,920
to be by myself and do and do things

1190
00:44:54,390 --> 00:44:52,000
that are comfortable with me of

1191
00:44:56,550 --> 00:44:54,400
types of things i do here on earth

1192
00:45:02,630 --> 00:44:56,560
okay next is hannah james with the daily

1193
00:45:07,270 --> 00:45:04,870
hi there karen uh i have a question for

1194
00:45:09,030 --> 00:45:07,280
you um especially regarding um

1195
00:45:10,950 --> 00:45:09,040
university of texas um i'm from the

1196
00:45:13,270 --> 00:45:10,960
daily tech at ut and i was kind of

1197
00:45:14,710 --> 00:45:13,280
curious as to how your experiences in

1198
00:45:18,069 --> 00:45:14,720
graduate school

1199
00:45:20,470 --> 00:45:18,079
affected your career as an astronaut

1200
00:45:21,990 --> 00:45:20,480
yes i spent four years at the university

1201
00:45:24,230 --> 00:45:22,000
of texas at austin doing graduate work

1202
00:45:25,349 --> 00:45:24,240
and i actually worked on

1203
00:46:21,990 --> 00:45:25,359
a

1204
00:46:23,589 --> 00:46:22,000
picture of my hometown i'm not sure

1205
00:46:25,190 --> 00:46:23,599
we'll actually see my hometown but

1206
00:46:27,430 --> 00:46:25,200
hopefully we'll see the lakes around it

1207
00:46:28,950 --> 00:46:27,440
it's a very small town in minnesota and

1208
00:46:31,030 --> 00:46:28,960
on my shuttle flight there were a couple

1209
00:46:32,950 --> 00:46:31,040
opportunities where i wasn't busy and we

1210
00:46:34,069 --> 00:46:32,960
were happen to be flying over the town

1211
00:46:35,990 --> 00:46:34,079
in the middle of the day but then it was

1212
00:46:38,230 --> 00:46:36,000
cloudy and so i'm hoping over a

1213
00:46:41,589 --> 00:46:38,240
six-month period of time i'll be able to

1214
00:46:43,750 --> 00:46:41,599
get a couple pictures of that area

1215
00:46:44,870 --> 00:46:43,760
you know so the people in that area can

1216
00:46:46,790 --> 00:46:44,880
can see

1217
00:46:48,309 --> 00:46:46,800
from uh from space and i think it'll be

1218
00:46:49,349 --> 00:46:48,319
special for me to get some pictures of

1219
00:46:50,790 --> 00:46:49,359
that

1220
00:46:53,430 --> 00:46:50,800
and for me

1221
00:46:56,069 --> 00:46:53,440
the first of all i am russian so sorry

1222
00:46:58,630 --> 00:46:56,079
uh for for karen because karen cannot be

1223
00:47:01,670 --> 00:46:58,640
the veteran

1224
00:47:04,069 --> 00:47:01,680
it's impossible yes very experienced

1225
00:47:05,190 --> 00:47:04,079
woman but it's not better

1226
00:47:08,390 --> 00:47:05,200
okay

1227
00:47:10,630 --> 00:47:08,400
it's it's possible to me and for me

1228
00:47:13,589 --> 00:47:10,640
this is very interesting

1229
00:47:14,470 --> 00:47:13,599
uh after so many times in space what

1230
00:47:17,349 --> 00:47:14,480
else

1231
00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:17,359
the uh look i told you than each

1232
00:47:22,150 --> 00:47:19,280
space flight it's a new each space

1233
00:47:24,069 --> 00:47:22,160
flight cannot be routine space lights

1234
00:47:26,470 --> 00:47:24,079
for me

1235
00:47:28,390 --> 00:47:26,480
i hope we will have

1236
00:47:30,950 --> 00:47:28,400
we don't have we would not have of

1237
00:47:33,910 --> 00:47:30,960
nominal situation on space and for me

1238
00:47:36,150 --> 00:47:33,920
the very important now it's three way in

1239
00:47:38,230 --> 00:47:36,160
my role it's exactly three

1240
00:47:40,390 --> 00:47:38,240
it should it could be the possibility

1241
00:47:43,990 --> 00:47:40,400
it's one or two more

1242
00:47:46,710 --> 00:47:44,000
so i am ready for this va i wanted to

1243
00:47:49,670 --> 00:47:46,720
have the time and uh

1244
00:47:53,190 --> 00:47:49,680
check how the f planet again looks with

1245
00:47:55,910 --> 00:47:53,200
open eyes through helm not through

1246
00:47:57,589 --> 00:47:55,920
eliminator it's great time for me many

1247
00:48:00,150 --> 00:47:57,599
interesting because i take a lot of

1248
00:48:03,190 --> 00:48:00,160
pictures and have so many photo

1249
00:48:04,710 --> 00:48:03,200
exhibitions but i never

1250
00:48:07,349 --> 00:48:04,720
take the

1251
00:48:09,349 --> 00:48:07,359
for example the great wall because any

1252
00:48:12,549 --> 00:48:09,359
time in my flights in all three flights

1253
00:48:14,710 --> 00:48:12,559
it was the clouds in this place i only

1254
00:48:16,870 --> 00:48:14,720
once take the picture with machu picchu

1255
00:48:20,309 --> 00:48:16,880
for example this is my rule because i

1256
00:48:22,470 --> 00:48:20,319
have so many pictures and one more what

1257
00:48:25,430 --> 00:48:22,480
i would

1258
00:48:27,030 --> 00:48:25,440
would like to have from each flight

1259
00:48:30,870 --> 00:48:27,040
after flights

1260
00:48:33,510 --> 00:48:30,880

great we're going to switch back to uh

1268
00:48:53,030 --> 00:48:50,960
taking a few more questions via twitter

1269
00:48:54,470 --> 00:48:53,040
again that was the hashtag ask nasa and

1270
00:48:55,990 --> 00:48:54,480

yeah we have a good uh follow-on

1272
00:49:00,950 --> 00:48:58,079
question to the uh the question about

1273
00:49:03,510 --> 00:49:00,960
photos of the earth this one comes on

1274
00:49:05,589 --> 00:49:03,520
twitter from sif what are the specs on

1275
00:49:08,150 --> 00:49:05,599
the cameras that you will use to capture

1276
00:49:15,430 --> 00:49:08,160
the earth and talk a little about your

1277
00:49:20,950 --> 00:49:17,829
yeah training thank you very much

1278
00:49:24,309 --> 00:49:20,960
i have great great great crew it's

1279
00:49:28,150 --> 00:49:24,319
brilliant luca smart current

1280
00:49:31,190 --> 00:49:28,160
i may answer you because most of time

1281
00:49:33,589 --> 00:49:31,200
the people ask about the cameras and

1282
00:49:36,150 --> 00:49:33,599
think the camera it's it's unique

1283
00:49:38,230 --> 00:49:36,160
cameras but only for several tests we

1284
00:49:40,150 --> 00:49:38,240
have unique camera for most of pictures

1285
00:49:42,390 --> 00:49:40,160
we use the

1286
00:49:44,390 --> 00:49:42,400
usual digital cameras it's

1287
00:49:47,670 --> 00:49:44,400
built nikon sometimes

1288
00:49:50,150 --> 00:49:47,680
different one yes now on american

1289
00:49:51,030 --> 00:49:50,160
segment we have very nice iret camera

1290
00:49:53,510 --> 00:49:51,040
and

1291
00:49:54,470 --> 00:49:53,520
i think the first crew who used this it

1292
00:49:57,430 --> 00:49:54,480
was

1293
00:50:00,069 --> 00:49:57,440
many great peoples did it by

1294
00:50:03,270 --> 00:50:00,079
don petit in this flight yes and we

1295
00:50:06,390 --> 00:50:03,280
continued we starting uh training with

1296
00:50:09,750 --> 00:50:06,400
these cameras irat digital camera and

1297
00:50:12,549 --> 00:50:09,760
usual digital cameras and the problem

1298
00:50:15,030 --> 00:50:12,559
only the one you should very fast change

1299
00:50:17,109 --> 00:50:15,040
the uh our lens because we have

1300
00:50:21,030 --> 00:50:17,119
different lengths we have from 14

1301
00:50:24,630 --> 00:50:21,040
millimeters to 100 200 100

1302
00:50:27,190 --> 00:50:24,640
12 12 1200 millimeters length

1303
00:50:29,349 --> 00:50:27,200
or you should use several cameras now

1304
00:50:31,190 --> 00:50:29,359
the cameras it's a lot of on

1305
00:50:33,829 --> 00:50:31,200
i think it's maybe

1306
00:50:36,549 --> 00:50:33,839
for both segments more than 20

1307
00:50:40,870 --> 00:50:36,559
each of us may use several cameras but

1308
00:50:41,750 --> 00:50:40,880
it's usual cameras it's not so unique

1309
00:50:43,109 --> 00:50:41,760
okay

1310
00:50:45,109 --> 00:50:43,119
we can take one more

1311
00:50:47,270 --> 00:50:45,119
we have another one this one is uh has

1312
00:50:48,390 --> 00:50:47,280
to do more with the trip to space

1313
00:50:51,030 --> 00:50:48,400
station

1314
00:50:53,430 --> 00:50:51,040
and it comes to us on twitter from whim

1315
00:50:55,670 --> 00:50:53,440
how do you feel about a possible shorter

1316
00:50:57,190 --> 00:50:55,680
six-hour flight to the iss and wouldn't

1317
00:50:59,990 --> 00:50:57,200
you prefer the scenic route over the

1318
00:51:04,630 --> 00:51:02,230
i personally would would kind of like to

1319
00:51:06,309 --> 00:51:04,640
do the short rendezvous because of the

1320
00:51:08,790 --> 00:51:06,319
reasons like fyodor said it's a small

1321
00:51:11,190 --> 00:51:08,800
vehicle and i just would like to get

1322
00:51:13,829 --> 00:51:11,200
where i'm going uh the facilities and

1323
00:51:16,470 --> 00:51:13,839
the soyuz aren't as as comfortable as as

1324
00:51:19,190 --> 00:51:16,480
what it is um on space station

1325
00:51:20,829 --> 00:51:19,200
and uh so so i'm all for for just

1326
00:51:23,510 --> 00:51:20,839
getting there and i also think

1327
00:51:25,349 --> 00:51:23,520
um you can

1328
00:51:26,790 --> 00:51:25,359
kind of accumulate fatigue over a couple

1329
00:51:28,309 --> 00:51:26,800
days even though you're mostly resting

1330
00:51:29,190 --> 00:51:28,319
you're not going to probably sleep very

1331
00:51:30,710 --> 00:51:29,200
well

1332
00:51:32,230 --> 00:51:30,720
in the soyuz the first couple nights my

1333
00:51:33,430 --> 00:51:32,240
experience on shuttle is i didn't sleep

1334
00:51:36,549 --> 00:51:33,440
very well the first couple nights it

1335
00:51:37,829 --> 00:51:36,559
took a while and so to me you know we're

1336
00:51:39,990 --> 00:51:37,839
probably going to have a pretty long

1337
00:51:42,630 --> 00:51:40,000
first day anyway so we could just as

1338
00:51:44,390 --> 00:51:42,640
well use the time when we're well rested

1339
00:51:46,230 --> 00:51:44,400
our adrenaline is high

1340
00:51:47,430 --> 00:51:46,240
and and get the job done and get there

1341
00:51:49,990 --> 00:51:47,440
and then we can

1342
00:51:51,349 --> 00:51:50,000
and relax and and if we don't sleep very

1343
00:51:53,430 --> 00:51:51,359
well the first couple nights on space

1344
00:51:55,829 --> 00:51:53,440
station well then we still don't have

1345
00:51:57,510 --> 00:51:55,839
the very dynamic phase of rendezvous um

1346
00:51:59,510 --> 00:51:57,520
left to go

1347
00:52:02,150 --> 00:51:59,520
one more one more thing that i can

1348
00:52:04,470 --> 00:52:02,160
think of is that

1349
00:52:07,190 --> 00:52:04,480
being in space in a zero in a in a zero

1350
00:52:08,950 --> 00:52:07,200
g environment requires some adaptation

1351
00:52:10,950 --> 00:52:08,960
but that attach adaptation will be

1352
00:52:12,470 --> 00:52:10,960
different inside the soyuz or inside the

1353
00:52:14,870 --> 00:52:12,480
space station because the space station

1354
00:52:16,870 --> 00:52:14,880
is a much bigger volume and it's also

1355
00:52:18,950 --> 00:52:16,880
more provocative for

1356
00:52:21,510 --> 00:52:18,960
motion sickness because of the

1357
00:52:23,190 --> 00:52:21,520
special disorientation so i much rather

1358
00:52:26,470 --> 00:52:23,200
get there as fast as i can gain those

1359
00:52:30,630 --> 00:52:26,480
again two days where i can i can adapt

1360
00:52:32,069 --> 00:52:30,640
and have a more effective space flight

1361
00:52:34,549 --> 00:52:32,079
okay that's all the time that we have

1362
00:52:36,309 --> 00:52:34,559
for today a reminder that karen will be

1363
00:52:37,510 --> 00:52:36,319
available for more questions later today

1364
00:52:39,030 --> 00:52:37,520
about some of the hobbies and crafts

1365
00:52:40,790 --> 00:52:39,040
that she's planning on orbit we'll be

1366
00:52:43,030 --> 00:52:40,800
having a tweet chat with martha stewart

1367
00:52:44,390 --> 00:52:43,040
living that's at 3 30 p.m central time

1368
00:52:46,870 --> 00:52:44,400
and you can participate in that using

1369
00:52:48,790 --> 00:52:46,880
the hashtag spacecrafts and also

1370
00:52:49,910 --> 00:52:48,800
obviously follow along with the mission

1371
