00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:31,519
no problem

8
00:01:00,229 --> 00:00:33,840
we'll be talking

9
00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:02,229
and the main thing for how long am i

10
00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:05,519
supposed to press the button after well

11
00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:07,280
i have been explaining for a long time

12
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:19,510
so please have a seat and we are going

13
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:43,270
okay

14
00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:45,590
several minutes and the media are going

15
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:06,230
do something

16
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,869
divine

17
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:14,470
stephanie please go ahead this is going

18
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:17,040
to be your first launch aboard the soyuz

19
00:02:20,229 --> 00:02:18,560
what kind of challenges does this

20
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:20,239
training for this launch have versus

21
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:32,309
for me probably the biggest challenge is

22
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:33,920
the russian language

23
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:36,400
it's been a challenge for me

24
00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:38,080
learning the language

25
00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:39,519
hopefully i've learned it to a point

26
00:02:42,790 --> 00:02:40,720
where i can be an efficient and

27
00:03:03,030 --> 00:02:42,800
effective crew member and do all the

28
00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:04,790
yeah

29
00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:06,800
i could add that she certainly overcame

30
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:08,800
the challenge of the russian language

31
00:03:16,149 --> 00:03:14,390
what language are going to use to

32
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:16,159
communicate

33
00:03:21,509 --> 00:03:18,720
today we're going to use english

34
00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:21,519
this is our unofficial language

35
00:03:26,309 --> 00:03:24,239
of the iss program

36
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:26,319
it's called english it's a blend of

37
00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:33,430
i have a question for you

38
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:36,080
the profile of rendezvous docking has

39
00:03:41,509 --> 00:03:39,120
changed and uh the exam profile has

40
00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:41,519
changed too they are now training

41
00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:43,920
four days instead of two what do you

42
00:03:49,589 --> 00:03:46,879
think any improvements well four against

43
00:03:52,789 --> 00:03:49,599
two what would you say

44
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:52,799
in fact we do understand that this is uh

45
00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:56,000
as we hope a transitionary stage

46
00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:58,319
and we understand that we

47
00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:00,560
go in for it because we believe that the

48
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:06,869
and our crew as well as the crew of a

49
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:08,720
power venogradov

50
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:11,920
we hope that in the future we'll go back

51
00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:13,680
to

52
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:15,840
our usual routine

53
00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:17,919
and we take this

54
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:19,120
four day

55
00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:22,320
exam run as a necessity

56
00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:23,919
and we don't think this is something out

57
00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:26,240
of ordinary it's a necessity of today's

58
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:34,150
are getting ready for a fourth flight

59
00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:36,720
luka will have his first one karen has

60
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:38,880
had some experience

61
00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:42,160
so comparing your crew members

62
00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:44,720
you believe that all of them are ready

63
00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:46,000
what do you think

64
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:47,360
they're done with their training so

65
00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:48,479
they're ready

66
00:04:51,749 --> 00:04:50,560
well you can have different answers if

67
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:51,759
they were not ready they wouldn't be

68
00:04:55,909 --> 00:04:54,000
sitting here and neither would i

69
00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:55,919
the number of flies does not determine

70
00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:58,320
one's redness for a flight

71
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:00,000
awareness for a flight is determined by

72
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:02,400
one's wish

73
00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:04,240
and i cannot say that karen does not

74
00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,720
wish it i know there is a

75
00:05:11,189 --> 00:05:08,720
one guy whose

76
00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:11,199
unofficial name is mr no and he doesn't

77
00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:13,759
wish his mother to fly

78
00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:14,639
when

79
00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:17,759
we were being photographed during the

80
00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:19,360
very first evening when he saw his

81
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:21,600
mother in a space suit he said no no to

82
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:22,800
the exams

83
00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:24,400
no to the flight

84
00:05:29,189 --> 00:05:26,960
and as far as luca goes i can say that

85
00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:29,199
he represents our psychological support

86
00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:32,550
and

87
00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:35,360
luca took karen's son

88
00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:39,120
into his arms and we had a little talk

89
00:05:43,990 --> 00:05:41,039
and i know that luca

90
00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:44,000
dreams of flying this is his aim and for

91
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:46,400
karen it's a new stage

92
00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:50,160
new long-term expedition

93
00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:52,960
besides karen has another person who

94
00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:55,520
provides support it's her husband who is

95
00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:58,800
a very experienced nasa astronaut who

96
00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:00,400
also has

97
00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:03,759
experience of flying to the iss

98
00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:06,240
so we're looking forward to this flight

99
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:08,080
i cannot say this is just one more

100
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:21,270
is further a strict commander

101
00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:23,510
is a very very good commander he's not

102
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:30,710
when it's necessary he's a friend on its

103
00:06:34,629 --> 00:06:32,720
nursery he's an instructor when it's

104
00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:34,639
necessary he's a strict

105
00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:36,560
just the way a commander is supposed to

106
00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:38,960
do and it's a great honor for me to fly

107
00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:39,919
with him

108
00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:42,560
so one's talking about the commander in

109
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:44,639
a good way or one's not talking about a

110
00:06:47,430 --> 00:06:46,000
commander at all

111
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:47,440
thank you guys thank you that you said

112
00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:51,990
do you have any more questions

113
00:06:56,469 --> 00:06:54,319
for luca parmitano for both nasa and for

114
00:06:58,550 --> 00:06:56,479
isa uh you've flown in many different

115
00:06:59,990 --> 00:06:58,560
kinds of aircraft as a test pilot what

116
00:07:01,830 --> 00:07:00,000
are you looking forward to the most for

117
00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:01,840
flying for the first time in the soyuz

118
00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:03,599
vehicle if you could answer please in

119
00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:05,360
both english and italian

120
00:07:09,029 --> 00:07:06,800
absolutely where

121
00:07:10,790 --> 00:07:09,039
well the answer is in in the question

122
00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:10,800
already it's the first time that i'm

123
00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:11,759
flying

124
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:13,680
in a real spacecraft so

125
00:07:18,710 --> 00:07:16,800
uh as a test pilot it's always a

126
00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:18,720
great emotion to fly for the first time

127
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:20,080
in a new machine

128
00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:22,560
so i'm just looking forward to

129
00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:25,520
to see how the machine performs in

130
00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:27,759
real life and the real flight after

131
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:57,189
foreign

132
00:08:06,629 --> 00:07:59,350
in french as well no that's not thank

133
00:08:09,749 --> 00:08:08,230
have a

134
00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:09,759
good training

135
00:08:13,589 --> 00:08:11,199
and i'm saying this

136
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,599
as we're approaching our labor day

137
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:15,440
thank you very much and we'll be seeing

138
00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:17,840
each other soon well first at our press

139
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:53,670
look out the hatch is open

140
00:09:20,630 --> 00:08:56,949
the indicator is not lit not lit i

141
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,110
do you think the crew are ready

142
00:09:28,870 --> 00:09:27,269
after we're done with this training

143
00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:28,880
we'll be able to say whether they're

144
00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:31,760
ready or not but i hope that everything

145
00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:37,829
and uh we have brilliant information

146
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:39,120
that the crew

147
00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:41,200
have all the necessary knowledge and we

148
00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:42,560
don't expect

149
00:09:46,470 --> 00:09:44,240
anything unusual

150
00:09:48,829 --> 00:09:46,480
coming from this training and besides

151
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:48,839
this is integrated

152
00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:52,160
training which means that this exam

153
00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:54,240
itself is a

154
00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:55,920
type of training

155
00:10:01,990 --> 00:09:58,399
on its own and uh certain things will

156
00:10:04,150 --> 00:10:02,000
come up and even if this is uh something

157
00:10:08,630 --> 00:10:04,160
with the crew are not very well prepared

158
00:10:15,430 --> 00:10:11,350
so what about this increased volume in

159
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:16,870
this is true

160
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:19,040
because this fast rendezvous and

161
00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:21,360
darkened profile is uh

162
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:27,910
so this will be more like a

163
00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:30,640
transitionary a backup plan in case

164
00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:32,880
there are certain off normal situations

165
00:10:39,269 --> 00:10:36,560
and we can always move to the regular

166
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:39,279
profile of rendezvous undocking so this

167
00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:41,760
is more preparation to offload

168
00:10:45,829 --> 00:10:43,440
situations

169
00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:45,839
and emergencies which will not indeed

170
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:47,120
take place

171
00:10:51,269 --> 00:10:49,519
so this is we're talking here more in

172
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:51,279
terms of preparation but the overall

173
00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:52,720
volume of preparation stays

174
00:10:56,150 --> 00:10:54,399
approximately the same

175
00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:56,160
what's more difficult to do a fast

176
00:10:59,990 --> 00:10:57,839
profile or a

177
00:11:01,990 --> 00:11:00,000
regular profile so it's it's an

178
00:11:03,670 --> 00:11:02,000
additional thing the crew needs to

179
00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:03,680
prepare too

180
00:11:08,069 --> 00:11:06,000
so even if we move to the first profile

181
00:11:10,230 --> 00:11:08,079
the long profile will still be there it

182
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:10,240
will just not be so

183
00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:11,920
much

184
00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:14,560
underscored by training

185
00:11:19,670 --> 00:11:17,519
but now we have both options in training

186
00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:19,680
and we'll keep looking for

187
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:22,160
options that will help to

188
00:11:26,069 --> 00:11:24,720
minimize the overall volume so that we

189
00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:26,079
can move

190
00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:28,800
move more smoothly to
