guys during your period on orbit

41
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:14,720
we have the normal logistics traffic

42
00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:17,040

43
00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:19,360

44
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:21,280
logistics vehicle and the cygnus that

45
00:02:24,869 --> 00:02:23,200
should show up while you're there and

46
00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:24,879
and with all that you still have to

47
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:27,200
squeeze in the time for utilization and

48
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:28,480

colleagues of the italian space agency

00:03:02,790 --> 00:02:59,200

78
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:31,920
partners of the space station which

79
00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:33,440
makes this

80
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:36,879
this flight possible and in particular

81
00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:39,920
obviously our russian partner ras cosmos

82
00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:41,920
and russian industry

83
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:44,319
to make the overall infrastructure ready

84
00:03:48,309 --> 00:03:47,120
for for launch and further operations so

85
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:48,319
the

86
00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:51,680
international space station is certainly

87
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:53,840
the partnership because i am sure that

88
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:55,760
the partnership will last much longer

89
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:57,280

dear friends before we will start asking

152
00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:07,360
questions

153
00:08:16,469 --> 00:08:12,000
in english and russian we have two

154
00:08:16,479 --> 00:08:20,629
first question please

155
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:24,550
subscribe

156
00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:26,790
i have a question for the prime crew

157
00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:29,199
it is well known that

158
00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:32,159
your flight will not take two days it

159
00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:35,599
will take only six hours or four orbits

160
00:08:41,829 --> 00:08:38,080
and i know that the crew your crew

161
00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:41,839
insisted on this rendezvous scheme so

162
00:08:49,829 --> 00:08:43,839
how did that affect your

163
00:08:55,509 --> 00:08:53,670
i would say that this

164
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:55,519
scheme is already a traditional one

165
00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:58,560
because pavel vinogradov proved this

166
00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:01,279
scheme as a successful one

167
00:09:05,829 --> 00:09:03,040
and we

168
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:05,839
also understood that

169
00:09:09,269 --> 00:09:07,600
we had

170
00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:09,279
yeast

171
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:11,519
some chances

172
00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:14,880
to fly to the station and dark only in

173
00:09:19,829 --> 00:09:16,880
for orbits however we understood that

174
00:09:25,670 --> 00:09:19,839
maybe our management would like to take

175
00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:28,310
take our own initiative and we went to

176
00:09:31,990 --> 00:09:30,240
our management

177
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:32,000
and

178
00:09:38,790 --> 00:09:34,720
we voiced our

179
00:09:43,829 --> 00:09:41,430
and only after three to four weeks after

180
00:09:48,790 --> 00:09:43,839
pablo vinogradov proved that this scheme

181
00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:50,949
initiative was supported and the

182
00:09:59,110 --> 00:09:56,790
actually approved this scheme for our

183
00:10:01,269 --> 00:09:59,120
docking this did not affect our training

184
00:10:03,350 --> 00:10:01,279
flow anyhow however we polished a couple

185
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:03,360
of moments with our instructors thank

186
00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:09,829
rob nabius nasa television two questions

187
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:11,360
for karen

188
00:10:14,949 --> 00:10:13,360
karen after training for several years

189
00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:14,959
now for this flight you're finally on

190
00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:16,640
the eve of launch

191
00:10:20,550 --> 00:10:18,399
how do you maintain the right frame of

192
00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:20,560
mind and demeanor

193
00:10:24,389 --> 00:10:22,480
knowing you're about to leave the planet

194
00:10:26,150 --> 00:10:24,399
in your family for a half year it's very

195
00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:26,160
interesting actually because it seems as

196
00:10:30,069 --> 00:10:28,480
though time just kind of goes by and

197
00:10:32,949 --> 00:10:30,079
we're just going through the flow of

198
00:10:35,190 --> 00:10:32,959
what we're doing and it's hard to really

199
00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:35,200
imagine that tomorrow we will be

200
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:37,040
launching into space

201
00:10:41,110 --> 00:10:38,560
i felt the same thing with my shuttle

202
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:41,120
flight it it just kind of uh went day by

203
00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:42,480
day and the next thing you know i was in

204
00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:44,000
orbit and then the next thing you know

205
00:10:47,030 --> 00:10:45,600
after that i was back on the ground this

206
00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:47,040
of course is very different since i'll

207
00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:48,000
be gone

208
00:10:51,829 --> 00:10:50,480
for six months but i think uh at this

209
00:10:54,550 --> 00:10:51,839
point we're just very focused on what

210
00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:54,560
we're doing and um and dealing with it

211
00:10:58,389 --> 00:10:56,240
as we go and i think it's going to be

212
00:11:01,509 --> 00:10:58,399
november before you know it and we'll be

213
00:11:03,509 --> 00:11:01,519
back on earth and karen your mission

214
00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:03,519
really looks like a handbook of human

215
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:05,760
space flight every resupply vehicle

216
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:08,160
known uh the debut of a new commercial

217
00:11:12,389 --> 00:11:09,839
cargo craft up to a half dozen

218
00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:12,399
spacewalks by your crewmates and a

219
00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:14,880
wealth of scientific research

220
00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:17,600
how will you pace yourself on this a

221
00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:20,000
marathon flight compared to your sprint

222
00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:22,800
on the shuttle several years ago

223
00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:24,160
i think that's one of the keys is that

224
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:26,000
we pace ourselves we have to realize

225
00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:27,200
that um

226
00:11:32,069 --> 00:11:30,240
we will be working there for a long time

227
00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:32,079
and we have to stay rested i think it's

228
00:11:36,550 --> 00:11:33,519
important that we understand when the

229
00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:36,560
day is done we need to stop our work and

230
00:11:40,389 --> 00:11:39,040
and rest and be prepared for

231
00:11:41,829 --> 00:11:40,399
an unknown you never know when there's

232
00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:41,839
going to be something unknown that comes

233
00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:44,160
up like an extra eva or some type of an

234
00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:45,680
alarm that we need to take care of so we

235
00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:47,120
need to be well arrested for that so i

236
00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:49,120
think that is that is the key it is

237
00:11:52,949 --> 00:11:51,040
going to be a very busy mission but i

238
00:11:54,790 --> 00:11:52,959
think we all need to um

239
00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:54,800
to understand that we need to pace

240
00:11:57,990 --> 00:11:56,399
ourselves this is more of a marathon and

241
00:12:02,470 --> 00:11:58,000
not the sprint of the shuttle that we

242
00:12:06,550 --> 00:12:04,230
thank you very much next question please

243
00:12:08,870 --> 00:12:06,560
dominique is a tv on behalf of the

244
00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:08,880
european media we could not make it here

245
00:12:13,430 --> 00:12:10,959
and for luca if you can also translate

246
00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:13,440
afterwards in italian please so

247
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:15,040

you seem to always happy always smiling

249
00:12:36,629 --> 00:12:19,519
you've got a secret could you tell us

then i'll i'll send something in italian

252
00:12:42,389 --> 00:12:41,120
for uh

is a tv

254
00:12:46,870 --> 00:12:44,720
well it's it's very simple and it just

255
00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:46,880
goes with what i always tell people that

256
00:12:50,069 --> 00:12:47,839
ask me

257
00:12:51,829 --> 00:12:50,079
um how did you become an astronaut what

258
00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:51,839
what does it take to become an astronaut

259
00:12:55,509 --> 00:12:53,600
and always say well

260
00:12:57,509 --> 00:12:55,519
if you if you do what you love and you

261
00:12:59,670 --> 00:12:57,519
love what you do then

262
00:13:01,350 --> 00:12:59,680
everything everything will happen and i

263
00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:01,360
just happen to be doing exactly what i

264
00:13:06,710 --> 00:13:03,920
love to do and i love what i'm doing and

265
00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:06,720
i would rather be nowhere else right now

266
00:13:10,710 --> 00:13:08,959
even even though i'm behind this this

267
00:13:12,949 --> 00:13:10,720
class and i'm really happy to be here

268
00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:12,959
because it's just the next step

269
00:13:17,509 --> 00:13:15,600
until i can uh i can fly up and realize

270
00:13:20,310 --> 00:13:17,519
a dream that's been with me uh since i

271
00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:20,320
can remember so that that's how i can be

272
00:13:24,790 --> 00:13:22,560
i can be really happy

273
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:24,800
okay uh another one though

274
00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:26,880
you apart from you from italy or europe

275
00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:29,120
what are you bringing up there

276
00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:31,600
what type of thing element

277
00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:33,120
it's uh it's

278
00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:34,720
it's well known that we don't have a lot

279
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:37,519
of space in our in our spacecraft it's

280
00:13:40,470 --> 00:13:38,720
it's kind of silly that we don't have

281
00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:40,480
space in space but we only we're only

282
00:13:45,590 --> 00:13:42,399
allowed about uh one and a half

283
00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:45,600
kilograms of personal items with us and

284
00:13:48,629 --> 00:13:46,560
uh

285
00:13:50,710 --> 00:13:48,639
it may seem a lot but in the end it's

286
00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:50,720
it's really not and um

287
00:13:55,269 --> 00:13:52,880
it seems that all the space uh got

288
00:13:57,829 --> 00:13:55,279
filled up very very quickly but

289
00:13:59,670 --> 00:13:57,839
i was able to put uh some souvenirs from

290
00:14:02,949 --> 00:13:59,680
for my friends and families i i don't

291
00:14:04,710 --> 00:14:02,959
collect anything so i plan to to give as

292
00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:04,720
a gift everything that i that i take up

293
00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:05,680
with me

294
00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:06,720
and

295
00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:08,800
the most personal things that i'm taking

296
00:14:13,590 --> 00:14:11,680
are my my wedding band and my wives

297
00:14:16,389 --> 00:14:13,600

wear those next to my heart the whole

304
00:14:34,069 --> 00:14:31,670
thank you next question

305
00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:35,430
usually space

306
00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:37,760
center first of all i would like to

307
00:14:42,310 --> 00:14:40,959
wish you a successful flight and nominal

308
00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:42,320
mission

309
00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:44,480
on may 25th

310
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:46,720
uh we were celebrating the last school

311
00:14:54,230 --> 00:14:50,399
day of this year so what would you like

312
00:14:54,240 --> 00:15:00,629
who are graduating this year

313
00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:04,629
my last flight was three years ago and

314
00:15:09,829 --> 00:15:06,560
my daughter was graduating three years

315
00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:09,839
ago that is why she could not be here

316
00:15:15,990 --> 00:15:12,720
at the baikonur cosmodrome i would like

317
00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:16,000
to wish these young people good luck

318
00:15:21,030 --> 00:15:18,160
which is very important in life

319
00:15:22,629 --> 00:15:21,040
second i would like to wish them to set

320
00:15:24,949 --> 00:15:22,639
really big goals

321
00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:24,959
uh don't want them to be afraid of these

322
00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:27,120
goals and please remember that your life

323
00:15:31,829 --> 00:15:29,120
is in your hands

324
00:15:33,749 --> 00:15:31,839
a lot in this life depends on the choice

325
00:15:35,430 --> 00:15:33,759
and the choices that you make

326
00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:35,440
the bolder the choice the better your

327
00:15:41,350 --> 00:15:36,959
life begins

328
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:42,629
next question please

329
00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:43,519
um

330
00:15:47,189 --> 00:15:45,680
my name is jonas barrigal i'm directing

331
00:16:03,189 --> 00:15:47,199
a

332
00:16:03,199 --> 00:16:11,670
um

333
00:16:16,150 --> 00:16:13,030
i think

334
00:16:18,550 --> 00:16:16,160
of course that's a problem for all of us

335
00:16:20,069 --> 00:16:18,560
all of us have children and

336
00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:20,079
all of us our children are very

337
00:16:22,949 --> 00:16:21,279
important to us

338
00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:22,959
and so i think it's hard for anybody

339
00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:24,720
that has to leave their family for a

340
00:16:28,790 --> 00:16:26,880
long time and we have a lot of people

341
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:28,800
that do that military people who leave

342
00:16:33,829 --> 00:16:31,600
their families for a long time and it i

343
00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:33,839
think it's just a challenge um

344
00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:36,160
just to to know you know my son is three

345
00:16:39,509 --> 00:16:37,680
and he's gonna do a lot of growing in

346
00:16:41,749 --> 00:16:39,519
six months and but i'm gonna see a lot

347
00:16:43,509 --> 00:16:41,759
of video of him and i think we'll be

348
00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:43,519
very well connected and and he'll be

349
00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:46,320
home with his daddy so i think um

350
00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:47,759
but like i said i you know it's a

351
00:16:51,189 --> 00:16:49,120
challenge that all of us have to deal

352
00:16:54,150 --> 00:16:51,199
with luca has young young daughters and

353
00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:54,160
voter has has daughters and so so it's

354
00:16:57,110 --> 00:16:55,600
something that we and we can support

355
00:17:00,470 --> 00:16:57,120
each other knowing that we have families

356
00:17:04,470 --> 00:17:03,269
i would like to add a couple of words

357
00:17:06,870 --> 00:17:04,480
it's a very

358
00:17:09,189 --> 00:17:06,880
complicated situation when cosmonauts

359
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:09,199
fly for such a long period of time when

360
00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:12,000
i was preparing for my first flight the

361
00:17:24,069 --> 00:17:14,319
little lena

362
00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:25,669
my whole family

363
00:17:28,230 --> 00:17:27,520
was seeing me off

364
00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:28,240
and

365
00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:31,120
later when my daughter was asked

366
00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:33,200
where is your father she was showing

367
00:17:37,190 --> 00:17:35,039
pointing at the tv and she was calling

368
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:37,200
me some unknown uncle

369
00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:39,760
only one year old when i

370
00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:43,039
got to space and when i returned

371
00:17:46,150 --> 00:17:44,320
and then

372
00:17:47,669 --> 00:17:46,160
she was asked the question where's your

373
00:17:54,549 --> 00:17:47,679
daddy she was

374
00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:56,549
one question more

375
00:18:09,909 --> 00:17:59,200
shall you take any special items to this

376
00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:11,750
i did pack a couple little toys that he

377
00:18:16,070 --> 00:18:14,720
likes and pictures are the main the main

378
00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:16,080
item i'll have pictures of him in my

379
00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:17,760
little my little sleeping station that i

380
00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:22,870
next question please

381
00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:24,880
yes hi thank you this is andrew kramer

382
00:18:28,549 --> 00:18:26,000
with the new york times i also have a

383
00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:28,559
question for uh karen on the same

384
00:18:32,390 --> 00:18:30,080
topic

385
00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:32,400
i've seen some of your discussions about

386
00:18:36,630 --> 00:18:34,320
leaving your son how does he understand

387
00:18:39,110 --> 00:18:36,640
where you're going and what advice would

388
00:18:41,669 --> 00:18:39,120
you offer to women who for their work

389
00:18:49,990 --> 00:18:41,679
have to separate from their children

390
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:56,390
um

391
00:19:00,070 --> 00:18:57,830
it's really hard to under to know

392
00:19:01,990 --> 00:19:00,080
exactly what a child understands at that

393
00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:02,000
age um sometimes he says things that

394
00:19:06,549 --> 00:19:04,080
make you feel as though he understands

395
00:19:19,990 --> 00:19:06,559
more than you would expect and sometimes

396
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:26,230
um

397
00:19:29,830 --> 00:19:28,070
he knows he knows i'm uh going to the

398
00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:29,840
space station and he knows what that is

399
00:19:34,070 --> 00:19:31,840
when he sees a picture of it and he he

400
00:19:36,150 --> 00:19:34,080
knows that uh there is no gravity there

401
00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:36,160
and things will float and

402
00:19:40,789 --> 00:19:38,400
that might be the simplest the level he

403
00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:40,799
understands it at but um i think it'll

404
00:19:45,430 --> 00:19:43,200
be very fun for him to see to see video

405
00:19:49,270 --> 00:19:45,440
of me and communicate with me when he

406
00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:51,669
okay next question

407
00:19:54,549 --> 00:19:53,440
good evening everybody

408
00:19:57,110 --> 00:19:54,559
my name is gunderberger from the

409
00:19:59,430 --> 00:19:57,120
european space agency we have come

410
00:20:01,110 --> 00:19:59,440
together here with 15 young people to

411
00:20:03,350 --> 00:20:01,120
witness for us this very important

412
00:20:05,669 --> 00:20:03,360
moment that we have

413
00:20:07,669 --> 00:20:05,679
the first issa astronaut from our own

414
00:20:10,070 --> 00:20:07,679
generation being launched so we are very

415
00:20:13,029 --> 00:20:10,080
excited to be here

416
00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:13,039
mr palmitano luca may i ask you what is

417
00:20:17,830 --> 00:20:15,360
your dominant feeling at this moment

418
00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:17,840
thank you well first of all welcome to

419
00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:19,520
baikonur thank you for coming i was

420
00:20:23,669 --> 00:20:21,440
wondering what all these issa apollo's

421
00:20:25,990 --> 00:20:23,679
shirts were

422
00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:26,000
that's all that's fantastic

423
00:20:31,270 --> 00:20:28,240
welcome and and thank you for calling me

424
00:20:34,630 --> 00:20:31,280
a young astronaut of your generation

425
00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:34,640
i don't get to hear that very often but

426
00:20:38,230 --> 00:20:36,240
that is probably the hardest question to

427
00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:38,240
answer as a matter of fact

428
00:20:45,270 --> 00:20:41,760
it's um it's just a it's a mixed

429
00:20:48,230 --> 00:20:45,280
emotion uh there's certainly excitement

430
00:20:49,350 --> 00:20:48,240
i am very excited i mean in less than 24

431
00:20:50,630 --> 00:20:49,360
hours

432
00:20:54,149 --> 00:20:50,640
i would be

433
00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:54,159
and

434
00:20:58,789 --> 00:20:56,720
then after that i would be strapping now

435
00:21:01,190 --> 00:20:58,799
into into my state to be to blast off

436
00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:01,200
into space that doesn't happen every day

437
00:21:06,230 --> 00:21:03,360
and for me it's the first time so i'm

438
00:21:08,310 --> 00:21:06,240
certainly excited but at the same time

439
00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:08,320
i'm focused because

440
00:21:10,950 --> 00:21:09,360
uh

441
00:21:12,710 --> 00:21:10,960
i i feel

442
00:21:16,230 --> 00:21:12,720
i feel that

443
00:21:17,909 --> 00:21:16,240
the importance of of performing well for

444
00:21:19,990 --> 00:21:17,919
all those people that that have been

445
00:21:22,390 --> 00:21:20,000
working with me through all the years of

446
00:21:24,789 --> 00:21:22,400
training to to get me to this point and

447
00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:24,799
i feel the responsibility of doing the

448
00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:26,960
job correctly for all those that expect

449
00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:28,799
results during the six months around the

450
00:21:32,549 --> 00:21:30,480
station

451
00:21:34,230 --> 00:21:32,559
those things are are not they're not

452
00:21:35,350 --> 00:21:34,240
negative feelings quite the opposite

453
00:21:38,070 --> 00:21:35,360
it's um

454
00:21:40,789 --> 00:21:38,080
it's a it's a challenge and it's uh very

455
00:21:43,350 --> 00:21:40,799
motivating for me uh all these feelings

456
00:21:45,990 --> 00:21:43,360
get get into me and and maybe you see

457
00:21:47,590 --> 00:21:46,000
this uh calm the manner

458
00:21:49,590 --> 00:21:47,600
and i feel that way

459
00:21:51,510 --> 00:21:49,600
there is a book that i read couple of

460
00:21:52,710 --> 00:21:51,520
years ago it's by an italian author his

461
00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:52,720
name is

462
00:21:56,950 --> 00:21:55,200
veronesi and he wrote a book called uh

463
00:21:58,789 --> 00:21:56,960
account cows

464
00:22:00,390 --> 00:21:58,799
and and i think that that's a very cool

465
00:22:02,470 --> 00:22:00,400
description of what i what i feel right

466
00:22:04,310 --> 00:22:02,480
now it's very chaotic all these all

467
00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:04,320
these things going through my head but i

468
00:22:08,149 --> 00:22:06,400
feel calm because the training

469
00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:08,159
does that to you you feel confident you

470
00:22:11,190 --> 00:22:09,600
know that you can do a job you've been

471
00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:11,200
trained and all these people have

472
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:14,320
confidence in you so um that

473
00:22:18,390 --> 00:22:16,720
i i just want to make sure that that con

474
00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:18,400
that confidence is

475
00:22:22,149 --> 00:22:20,080
is it the right is resting in the right

476
00:22:23,590 --> 00:22:22,159
place and in the right hands thank you

477
00:22:25,750 --> 00:22:23,600
for the question thank you thank you for

478
00:22:28,310 --> 00:22:25,760
coming again

479
00:22:30,630 --> 00:22:28,320
thank you very much next question

480
00:22:32,149 --> 00:22:30,640
from russia today television my question

481
00:22:35,029 --> 00:22:32,159
is actually for

482
00:22:36,789 --> 00:22:35,039
the main crew for the three of you i

483
00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:36,799
believe that this is baikonur is a

484
00:22:40,950 --> 00:22:39,440
special place for the three of you just

485
00:22:42,950 --> 00:22:40,960
for obvious reasons because you're this

486
00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:42,960
is the place where you're launching from

487
00:22:46,630 --> 00:22:44,240
but uh

488
00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:46,640
from a from an astronaut's point of view

489
00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:49,679
or cosmonauts point of view what makes

490
00:22:58,310 --> 00:22:50,960
baikonur

491
00:23:03,510 --> 00:23:01,029
you can review your past experiences you

492
00:23:06,230 --> 00:23:03,520
can review history

493
00:23:09,270 --> 00:23:06,240
and have different

494
00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:09,280
opinions but two

495
00:23:13,510 --> 00:23:11,360
dates are very important in the history

496
00:23:16,750 --> 00:23:13,520
of baikonur the launch

497
00:23:18,630 --> 00:23:16,760
of the first satellite on october 4th

498
00:23:21,270 --> 00:23:18,640
1957

499
00:23:24,350 --> 00:23:21,280
but the second date that is even more

500
00:23:26,149 --> 00:23:24,360
important for us is april 12

501
00:23:28,710 --> 00:23:26,159
1961

502
00:23:31,669 --> 00:23:28,720
the first flight of

503
00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:31,679
a human being to space

504
00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:33,840
so these two dates are the milestones in

505
00:23:37,830 --> 00:23:36,400
the history of baikonur this is

506
00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:37,840
what i feel

507
00:23:42,149 --> 00:23:40,640
at the baikonur cosmodrome and that is

508
00:23:45,029 --> 00:23:42,159
why it's so important to launch from the

509
00:23:46,549 --> 00:23:45,039
gagarin launch pad

510
00:23:48,390 --> 00:23:46,559
my answer is maybe a little more

511
00:23:51,510 --> 00:23:48,400
personal

512
00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:51,520
what makes us any any place special is

513
00:23:55,990 --> 00:23:54,000
what memories are attached to it

514
00:23:58,310 --> 00:23:56,000
and i think that

515
00:24:01,350 --> 00:23:58,320
what makes this place special for me is

516
00:24:03,350 --> 00:24:01,360
that there are only positive memories

517
00:24:04,390 --> 00:24:03,360
related to this place six weeks six

518
00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:04,400
months ago

519
00:24:11,669 --> 00:24:08,000
i was here in the middle of winter

520
00:24:13,269 --> 00:24:11,679
as the backup of uh expedition 34

521
00:24:14,470 --> 00:24:13,279
and even though i remember really well

522
00:24:17,510 --> 00:24:14,480
that i was

523
00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:17,520
basically frozen uh and you know i'm i'm

524
00:24:22,070 --> 00:24:19,760
i'm italian from southern italy from

525
00:24:25,110 --> 00:24:22,080
sicily i freeze at when the temperature

526
00:24:25,990 --> 00:24:25,120
goes below 10 degrees above zero

527
00:24:27,830 --> 00:24:26,000
um

528
00:24:30,630 --> 00:24:27,840
but even

529
00:24:32,870 --> 00:24:30,640
or thirtieth shorter says but um even

530
00:24:35,990 --> 00:24:32,880
though even though it was really cold uh

531
00:24:38,149 --> 00:24:36,000
the atmosphere was uh so festive and

532
00:24:41,190 --> 00:24:38,159
uh it was such a great pleasure working

533
00:24:43,350 --> 00:24:41,200
with uh with the with the team here and

534
00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:43,360
and my crewmates and

535
00:24:48,390 --> 00:24:46,960
the the main crew and

536
00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:48,400
being part of such an incredible

537
00:24:53,590 --> 00:24:49,760
experience

538
00:24:54,870 --> 00:24:53,600
magical and and incredible good memories

539
00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:54,880
and now

540
00:24:59,510 --> 00:24:57,120
you can you can imagine yourself how how

541
00:25:01,110 --> 00:24:59,520
positive an experience and what amazing

542
00:25:03,350 --> 00:25:01,120
memories i will have of the past two

543
00:25:05,350 --> 00:25:03,360
weeks here in wagoner

544
00:25:07,990 --> 00:25:05,360
baikonur is certainly a place that is

545
00:25:08,950 --> 00:25:08,000
rich in history though it it is recent

546
00:25:11,190 --> 00:25:08,960
history

547
00:25:13,750 --> 00:25:11,200
um but it's also very rich in tradition

548
00:25:15,669 --> 00:25:13,760
and i think it's um it's very neat to

549
00:25:17,909 --> 00:25:15,679
see you feel that in everybody you see

550
00:25:19,510 --> 00:25:17,919
that everywhere here and i'm honored to

551
00:25:20,950 --> 00:25:19,520
be a part of that tradition

552
00:25:23,110 --> 00:25:20,960
and history

553
00:25:27,350 --> 00:25:23,120
and having said that what is that that

554
00:25:33,110 --> 00:25:28,390
once you get

555
00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:34,710
what are we looking forward to the most

556
00:25:39,029 --> 00:25:36,480
in space

557
00:25:41,350 --> 00:25:39,039
um actually i'm looking forward the most

558
00:25:44,549 --> 00:25:41,360
to living there rather than

559
00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:44,559
having the quick shuttle flight and um

560
00:25:48,789 --> 00:25:46,720
a shuttle flight is go go go from the

561
00:25:50,950 --> 00:25:48,799
second you launch

562
00:25:52,789 --> 00:25:50,960
i'm looking forward to having time on

563
00:25:55,190 --> 00:25:52,799
the weekends for a little reflection and

564
00:25:56,630 --> 00:25:55,200
doing some own personal things and uh

565
00:26:01,110 --> 00:25:56,640
just kind of stamping the memory of the

566
00:26:07,750 --> 00:26:02,950
thank you

567
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,470
are you scared of flying to space

568
00:26:20,549 --> 00:26:16,390
interiors no we are very excited to fly

569
00:26:25,110 --> 00:26:22,549
okay i see

570
00:26:27,909 --> 00:26:25,120
any other questions for the crews

571
00:26:29,029 --> 00:26:27,919
sergey pavlovich

572
00:26:29,909 --> 00:26:29,039
please

573
00:26:41,669 --> 00:26:29,919
give it

574
00:26:46,470 --> 00:26:43,510
first i would like to congratulate

575
00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:46,480
everyone with the upcoming mission and

576
00:26:50,870 --> 00:26:48,480
wish you good luck

577
00:26:56,789 --> 00:26:50,880
i have two questions for you

578
00:27:01,590 --> 00:26:59,269
a lot of experiments are planned and

579
00:27:02,789 --> 00:27:01,600
you'll be running a lot of

580
00:27:08,230 --> 00:27:02,799
experiments

581
00:27:10,549 --> 00:27:08,240
for you and what will be your major

582
00:27:12,390 --> 00:27:10,559
focus medical experiments or any other

583
00:27:14,950 --> 00:27:12,400
experiments

584
00:27:16,070 --> 00:27:14,960
and the second question is for footer

585
00:27:18,830 --> 00:27:16,080
during

586
00:27:21,110 --> 00:27:18,840
your flight it is

587
00:27:24,230 --> 00:27:21,120
planned perform

588
00:27:26,710 --> 00:27:24,240
a few evas on the russian segment how

589
00:27:29,750 --> 00:27:26,720
many events in total will be performed

590
00:27:31,669 --> 00:27:29,760
when will the first eva take place

591
00:27:33,669 --> 00:27:31,679
and which major task will be performed

592
00:27:39,269 --> 00:27:33,679
during that first eva

593
00:27:43,590 --> 00:27:41,430
i'll try to answer a question

594
00:27:45,750 --> 00:27:43,600
in russian if it doesn't work i will try

595
00:27:49,350 --> 00:27:45,760
to answer it in english

596
00:27:51,190 --> 00:27:49,360
it's very difficult to explain

597
00:27:53,110 --> 00:27:51,200
what we are going to do in the three

598
00:27:58,549 --> 00:27:53,120
minutes

599
00:28:04,710 --> 00:28:01,990
there are more than 150 experiments

600
00:28:07,350 --> 00:28:04,720
currently being run on board the station

601
00:28:10,070 --> 00:28:07,360
however there is some experiments that

602
00:28:12,149 --> 00:28:10,080
you start as an expedition and i think

603
00:28:13,350 --> 00:28:12,159
they are very interesting i'm an italian

604
00:28:14,870 --> 00:28:13,360
astronaut

605
00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:14,880
and i will be performing italian

606
00:28:20,389 --> 00:28:17,760
experiments

607
00:28:22,230 --> 00:28:20,399
and one of the experiment is called

608
00:28:23,350 --> 00:28:22,240
green air

609
00:28:26,950 --> 00:28:23,360
i think

610
00:28:28,630 --> 00:28:26,960
it's an interesting experiment we are

611
00:28:30,470 --> 00:28:28,640
trying to

612
00:28:31,990 --> 00:28:30,480
learn how

613
00:28:33,510 --> 00:28:32,000
combustion of

614
00:28:34,549 --> 00:28:33,520
biological

615
00:28:37,590 --> 00:28:34,559
fuel

616
00:28:40,549 --> 00:28:37,600
is going to happen in space it's very

617
00:28:42,950 --> 00:28:40,559
important from a scientific standpoint

618
00:28:48,710 --> 00:28:42,960
because we can use the results right

619
00:28:52,470 --> 00:28:49,830
we

620
00:29:00,789 --> 00:28:52,480
are trying to find

621
00:29:05,750 --> 00:29:03,590
what fuel has best uh combustion

622
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:05,760
properties without having ecological

623
00:29:11,190 --> 00:29:08,720
food footprint

624
00:29:12,710 --> 00:29:11,200
ultrasound machine and then

625
00:29:13,990 --> 00:29:12,720
another

626
00:29:15,669 --> 00:29:14,000
experiment

627
00:29:18,549 --> 00:29:15,679
is when we are

628
00:29:20,470 --> 00:29:18,559
using ultra

629
00:29:22,630 --> 00:29:20,480
sound to

630
00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:22,640
perform this experiment in order to

631
00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:24,320
forecast

632
00:29:28,789 --> 00:29:25,360
some

633
00:29:31,110 --> 00:29:28,799
problems with your back in space

634
00:29:39,430 --> 00:29:31,120
mri

635
00:29:42,230 --> 00:29:39,440
to do it on earth but these

636
00:29:44,470 --> 00:29:42,240
uh this hardware is really huge and it's

637
00:29:48,149 --> 00:29:44,480
very

638
00:29:49,750 --> 00:29:48,159
cost effective

639
00:29:54,950 --> 00:29:49,760
so we are

640
00:29:59,990 --> 00:29:57,909
so these experiments are very important

641
00:30:03,430 --> 00:30:00,000
and the third experiment that is called

642
00:30:07,029 --> 00:30:05,590
when running this experiment we will try

643
00:30:10,149 --> 00:30:07,039
to see

644
00:30:12,710 --> 00:30:11,990
improve

645
00:30:14,549 --> 00:30:12,720
or

646
00:30:18,710 --> 00:30:14,559
rather

647
00:30:21,430 --> 00:30:18,720
lessen calcium losses from bones of

648
00:30:23,669 --> 00:30:21,440
astronauts and cosmonauts as you know

649
00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:23,679
this process is very dangerous for

650
00:30:30,149 --> 00:30:25,600
health

651
00:30:32,549 --> 00:30:30,159
and we will try to learn how to minimize

652
00:30:34,630 --> 00:30:32,559
that loss of course we will be able to

653
00:30:35,510 --> 00:30:34,640
use the results

654
00:30:37,269 --> 00:30:35,520
of

655
00:30:39,909 --> 00:30:37,279
this experiment on earth as you know

656
00:30:42,389 --> 00:30:39,919
osteoporosis is one of the major threats

657
00:30:46,149 --> 00:30:42,399
to human health all over the world

658
00:30:47,590 --> 00:30:46,159
and i hope we will try to save people's

659
00:30:49,830 --> 00:30:47,600
lives

660
00:30:52,070 --> 00:30:49,840
who are suffering from this disease

661
00:30:55,590 --> 00:30:52,080
without using a lot of medication thank

662
00:31:00,070 --> 00:30:57,909
as of today the program

663
00:31:03,269 --> 00:31:00,080
uh eva program on the russian segment

664
00:31:06,389 --> 00:31:03,279
includes four evas i'm participating in

665
00:31:08,070 --> 00:31:06,399
three evas scheduled

666
00:31:09,590 --> 00:31:08,080
the first eva

667
00:31:12,549 --> 00:31:09,600
will include

668
00:31:14,710 --> 00:31:12,559
troubleshooting of the thermal

669
00:31:22,789 --> 00:31:14,720
control unit

670
00:31:26,630 --> 00:31:23,909
the other

671
00:31:29,509 --> 00:31:26,640
two experiments uh will be mostly

672
00:31:30,830 --> 00:31:29,519
focused on routing cables for the new

673
00:31:34,149 --> 00:31:30,840
russian module

674
00:31:35,590 --> 00:31:34,159
mlm and a couple of other

675
00:31:38,230 --> 00:31:35,600
experiments

676
00:31:39,590 --> 00:31:38,240
on the outside of the station

677
00:31:41,909 --> 00:31:39,600
unfortunately i won't be able to

678
00:31:43,909 --> 00:31:41,919
participate in the fourth eva that just

679
00:31:45,110 --> 00:31:43,919
scheduled at the very end of the

680
00:31:48,389 --> 00:31:45,120
expedition

681
00:31:51,269 --> 00:31:48,399
however by that eva we will see our

682
00:31:53,190 --> 00:31:51,279
backup crew on orbit already we will see

683
00:31:56,149 --> 00:31:53,200
each other for a very short period of

684
00:31:57,350 --> 00:31:56,159
time four days only we will be together

685
00:32:02,870 --> 00:31:57,360
in space

686
00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:05,110
the first eva uh is scheduled for

687
00:32:08,950 --> 00:32:06,320
mid-june

688
00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:08,960
thank you next question

689
00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:11,200
rob navies again with nasa television i

690
00:32:14,950 --> 00:32:12,720
can't let this moment get away without a

691
00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:14,960
question about the olympic torch

692
00:32:18,950 --> 00:32:16,640
we have the relay team right in front of

693
00:32:20,789 --> 00:32:18,960
us here with rick mchale and koichi

694
00:32:22,870 --> 00:32:20,799
bringing it up in november

695
00:32:24,789 --> 00:32:22,880
and handing it off to uh

696
00:32:27,029 --> 00:32:24,799
somewhat reluctantly as you can see to

697
00:32:28,389 --> 00:32:27,039
luca fyodor and karen to bring it home a

698
00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:28,399
few days later

699
00:32:34,149 --> 00:32:31,120
can perhaps for karen or rick

700
00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:34,159
can you tell us what that symbolizes

701
00:32:38,470 --> 00:32:36,240
and what it symbolizes in relation to

702
00:32:39,750 --> 00:32:38,480
the international space station

703
00:32:42,630 --> 00:32:39,760
and what it represents for the

704
00:32:43,909 --> 00:32:42,640
unification of nations in orbit

705
00:32:45,990 --> 00:32:43,919
of course the international space

706
00:32:47,590 --> 00:32:46,000
station is a great achievement

707
00:32:50,149 --> 00:32:47,600
and a great accomplishment by many

708
00:32:51,110 --> 00:32:50,159
countries around the world in my opinion

709
00:32:53,990 --> 00:32:51,120
may be one of the greatest

710
00:33:05,509 --> 00:32:54,000
accomplishments this world has ever seen

711
00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:06,470
and

712
00:33:09,509 --> 00:33:08,080
the olympics i think represent that

713
00:33:12,549 --> 00:33:09,519
exact uh

714
00:33:13,909 --> 00:33:12,559
idea many countries getting together

715
00:33:18,310 --> 00:33:13,919
to

716
00:33:20,230 --> 00:33:18,320
in peaceful times and show how we can

717
00:33:21,350 --> 00:33:20,240
get along on this planet so i think it's

718
00:33:24,950 --> 00:33:21,360
a great

719
00:33:26,310 --> 00:33:24,960
for us to bring up the olympic torch and

720
00:33:28,149 --> 00:33:26,320
and represent

721
00:33:29,590 --> 00:33:28,159
all the countries

722
00:33:30,950 --> 00:33:29,600
on earth that are participating in the

723
00:33:32,230 --> 00:33:30,960
olympics and it's going to be very

724
00:33:33,190 --> 00:33:32,240
interesting we're going to carry up the

725
00:33:37,029 --> 00:33:33,200
torch

726
00:33:39,269 --> 00:33:37,039
and we're going to have the expedition

727
00:33:40,710 --> 00:33:39,279
oleg sergey and mike hopkins we're gonna

728
00:33:43,269 --> 00:33:40,720
hand it off to them they'll then hand it

729
00:33:44,549 --> 00:33:43,279
off to uh fyodor luca and karen who will

730
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:44,559
return to earth so we'll have our own

731
00:33:55,669 --> 00:33:54,149
ladies and gentlemen any other questions

732
00:34:01,990 --> 00:33:55,679
yes sergey polish i can see one more

733
00:34:05,509 --> 00:34:03,430
hello

734
00:34:07,990 --> 00:34:05,519
cosmonauts and astronauts

735
00:34:09,990 --> 00:34:08,000
first of course i would like to wish you

736
00:34:12,149 --> 00:34:10,000
a successful flight

737
00:34:14,550 --> 00:34:12,159
and completion of the program

738
00:34:15,909 --> 00:34:14,560
maybe it's a layman question that i'm

739
00:34:17,909 --> 00:34:15,919
going to ask

740
00:34:20,069 --> 00:34:17,919
but i'm really interested in what's

741
00:34:22,470 --> 00:34:20,079
going on in space right now if we're

742
00:34:23,909 --> 00:34:22,480
looking at the cosmonautics development

743
00:34:25,669 --> 00:34:23,919
and history

744
00:34:27,829 --> 00:34:25,679
uh we will see

745
00:34:30,310 --> 00:34:27,839
that professional life of cosmonauts

746
00:34:32,710 --> 00:34:30,320
some time ago some 20 years ago was

747
00:34:33,589 --> 00:34:32,720
really short like professional athletes

748
00:34:35,990 --> 00:34:33,599
life

749
00:34:36,869 --> 00:34:36,000
so right now we see an absolutely

750
00:34:38,950 --> 00:34:36,879
different

751
00:34:40,310 --> 00:34:38,960
trend

752
00:34:42,149 --> 00:34:40,320
right now the professional life of a

753
00:34:43,270 --> 00:34:42,159
cosmonaut and astronaut is really long

754
00:35:00,390 --> 00:34:43,280
so

755
00:35:10,710 --> 00:35:03,270
but this question is not for us probably

756
00:35:14,950 --> 00:35:12,550
maybe if we look back

757
00:35:17,829 --> 00:35:14,960
20 years ago we will see that the

758
00:35:20,230 --> 00:35:17,839
experiments then were really simple

759
00:35:22,550 --> 00:35:20,240
so our medical community has more

760
00:35:25,190 --> 00:35:22,560
practice has more statistics

761
00:35:29,430 --> 00:35:25,200
and they can use that information to

762
00:35:32,310 --> 00:35:29,440
forecast the behavior of our bodies

763
00:35:35,670 --> 00:35:32,320
in some time in space

764
00:35:38,069 --> 00:35:35,680
but if you look a couple of

765
00:35:40,150 --> 00:35:38,079
decades and even centuries ago you'll

766
00:35:43,109 --> 00:35:40,160
see that the average uh

767
00:35:45,829 --> 00:35:43,119
life of a human being was really short

768
00:35:49,430 --> 00:35:45,839
so i think this is a very logical trend

769
00:35:52,870 --> 00:35:49,440
that right now we're

770
00:35:55,270 --> 00:35:52,880
living professionally much more longer

771
00:35:57,510 --> 00:35:55,280
so the retirement

772
00:35:59,510 --> 00:35:57,520
age is going to be raised in russia soon

773
00:36:01,990 --> 00:35:59,520
for example pavel vinogradov is going to

774
00:36:03,829 --> 00:36:02,000
celebrate his 60th anniversary in space

775
00:36:06,310 --> 00:36:03,839
in a couple of months

776
00:36:10,550 --> 00:36:06,320
we have a brilliant example of john

777
00:36:15,349 --> 00:36:10,560
glenn second flight 78 the

778
00:36:21,030 --> 00:36:18,150
he was 78 and 80

779
00:36:23,190 --> 00:36:21,040
years old michael and i are

780
00:36:25,270 --> 00:36:23,200
very young compared to him

781
00:36:27,670 --> 00:36:25,280
luca is a teenager

782
00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:27,680
so i think we're looking forward to more

783
00:36:30,550 --> 00:36:29,280
flights in future thank you for your

784
00:36:32,870 --> 00:36:30,560
question

785
00:36:35,589 --> 00:36:32,880

790
00:36:57,349 --> 00:36:55,599
can see a lot of children here it's

791
00:36:58,790 --> 00:36:57,359
really bad that they didn't have a

792
00:37:01,990 --> 00:36:58,800
chance to ask

793
00:37:03,829 --> 00:37:02,000

794
00:37:15,430 --> 00:37:03,839
