bill as they say 53 00:19:11,830 --> 00:19:10,080 if that doesn't get your blood flowing 54 00:19:13,510 --> 00:19:11,840 uh you don't understand human space 55 00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:13,520 flight your reaction to this morning's 56 00:19:17,430 --> 00:19:14,720 launch 57 00:19:19,350 --> 00:19:17,440 again just absolutely amazing to to see 58 00:19:21,029 --> 00:19:19,360 the rocket launch 59 00:19:23,270 --> 00:19:21,039 it was even special today we got to see 60 00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:23,280 space station fly overhead just a couple 61 00:19:27,909 --> 00:19:25,440 minutes before launch so to see the 62 00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:27,919 space station moving downrange and then 63 00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:29,760 four minutes later to see the soyuz lift 64 00:19:34,070 --> 00:19:31,840 off the launch pad chasing that little 65 00:19:36,230 --> 00:19:34,080 star with the crew on board was just 66 00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:36,240 absolutely amazing today so to see 67 00:19:40,630 --> 00:19:37,919 orbital mechanics and work and actually 68 00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:40,640 to get here in baikonur and see that it 69 00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:42,799 was just a special event today so it was 70 00:19:47,510 --> 00:19:45,360 just a tremendous launch everyone is 71 00:19:49,270 --> 00:19:47,520 unique everyone is different 72 00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:49,280 each one i see different things that i 73 00:19:53,669 --> 00:19:51,600 never saw before and and again just was 74 00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:53,679 just phenomenal the teams here did a 75 00:19:57,190 --> 00:19:55,440 tremendous job getting ready getting the 76 00:19:59,590 --> 00:19:57,200 rocket ready the preparation at the 77 00:20:01,270 --> 00:19:59,600 launch pad was absolutely outstanding 78 00:20:03,350 --> 00:20:01,280 the weather was good today and just a 79 00:20:05,190 --> 00:20:03,360 just a super super launch i'm looking 80 00:20:08,390 --> 00:20:05,200 forward to this expedition 81 00:20:10,310 --> 00:20:08,400 many activities coming up evas dockings 82 00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:10,320 all kinds of things during this this 83 00:20:14,549 --> 00:20:12,320 increment so it will be exciting and it 84 00:20:16,630 --> 00:20:14,559 would say what great start this morning 85 00:20:18,549 --> 00:20:16,640 we can't help but be impressed 86 00:20:20,230 --> 00:20:18,559 about the choreography of how these 87 00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:20,240 launches fold together to make the 88 00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:22,480 station happen and perpetuate it and 89 00:20:26,870 --> 00:20:24,240 this expedition as you mentioned is 90 00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:26,880 truly a handbook of human space flight 91 00:20:31,350 --> 00:20:28,799 yeah it's pretty exciting you know next 92 00:20:33,029 --> 00:20:31,360 week we'll see the atv launch from peru 93 00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:33,039 and i was talking to our european 94 00:20:36,630 --> 00:20:35,120 colleagues and and they're all ready to 95 00:20:38,149 --> 00:20:36,640 get ready to go to kuru and get that 96 00:20:40,549 --> 00:20:38,159 launch vehicle ready we're talking to 97 00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:40,559 the japanese about the htv launch coming 98 00:20:44,950 --> 00:20:42,480 later in the summer we're working with 99 00:20:46,710 --> 00:20:44,960 orbital at the wallops flight facility 100 00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:46,720 getting that rocket and then cygnus 101 00:20:51,430 --> 00:20:49,120 vehicle prepared so just a tremendous 102 00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:51,440 amount of work heading forward 103 00:20:56,149 --> 00:20:54,320 bill speaking of the expedition uh 104 00:20:58,470 --> 00:20:56,159 it is truly a handbook of human 105 00:20:59,750 --> 00:20:58,480 spaceflight almost a daunting challenge 106 00:21:01,190 --> 00:20:59,760 for these three crew members for the 107 00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:01,200 next six months 108 00:21:05,270 --> 00:21:03,280 your thoughts on how all of this is 109 00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:05,280 going to unfold to continue to 110 00:21:08,630 --> 00:21:07,120 perpetuate the space station 111 00:21:10,230 --> 00:21:08,640 again the teams have done a tremendous 112 00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:10,240 job of getting things prepared and 113 00:21:14,549 --> 00:21:12,480 getting ready um the atv launch coming 114 00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:14,559 up is is pretty exciting and we've got 115 00:21:18,549 --> 00:21:16,480 the htv launch we've got 116 00:21:19,430 --> 00:21:18,559 orbital flight coming up potentially 117 00:21:21,430 --> 00:21:19,440 later 118 00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:21,440 and the evas coming up this summer just 119 00:21:24,789 --> 00:21:23,280 a tremendous amount of work by the teams 120 00:21:26,549 --> 00:21:24,799 getting prepared for any kind of 121 00:21:28,710 --> 00:21:26,559 contingency any kind of planning and 122 00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:28,720 that's what's remarkable to me is 123 00:21:32,870 --> 00:21:30,640 they take this complex ballet of 124 00:21:34,549 --> 00:21:32,880 vehicles and work and the teams in 125 00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:34,559 houston along with their team friends in 126 00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:36,880 moscow and in europe and in japan they 127 00:21:40,549 --> 00:21:38,240 figure out a way to put all this 128 00:21:42,549 --> 00:21:40,559 together to just make this look easy 129 00:21:44,230 --> 00:21:42,559 make it look smooth and still get a 130 00:21:46,149 --> 00:21:44,240 bunch of research and science done on 131 00:21:47,830 --> 00:21:46,159 board station at the same time so i 132 00:21:49,750 --> 00:21:47,840 can't say enough about the teams that do 133 00:21:51,830 --> 00:21:49,760 that preparation they make it look easy 134 00:21:53,990 --> 00:21:51,840 but it doesn't occur easily it comes 135 00:21:56,789 --> 00:21:54,000 just through hard work and preparation 136 00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:56,799 and then those teams get to celebrate 137 00:21:59,830 --> 00:21:58,400 those results and get to see the 138 00:22:01,430 --> 00:21:59,840 excitement of their hard work coming 139 00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:01,440 together and i think that's what we got 140 00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:03,440 to see today we got to see the russian 141 00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:05,120 team prepare this vehicle and to see 142 00:22:08,149 --> 00:22:06,400 this launch 143 00:22:09,990 --> 00:22:08,159 you can't help but get excited when you 144 00:22:11,750 --> 00:22:10,000 share the joy you see the joy in their 145 00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:11,760 eyes of what this wonderful vehicle has 146 00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:13,840 done to see the appendages come out and 147 00:22:17,990 --> 00:22:15,760 see it headed towards a four orbit 148 00:22:31,430 --> 00:22:18,000 rendezvous with iss just a tremendous 149 00:22:35,909 --> 00:22:33,190 mike stefardini international space 150 00:22:37,350 --> 00:22:35,919 station program manager mike another 151 00:22:39,110 --> 00:22:37,360 morning in which the ground shook here 152 00:22:40,710 --> 00:22:39,120 in baikonur sending 153 00:22:42,390 --> 00:22:40,720 three more crew members toward the 154 00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:42,400 international space station your 155 00:22:46,149 --> 00:22:44,000 reaction to the launch and your thoughts 156 00:22:47,830 --> 00:22:46,159 about this climb to orbit today 157 00:22:49,750 --> 00:22:47,840 well you can't help but be emotional 158 00:22:51,590 --> 00:22:49,760 when uh when you can feel the launch in 159 00:22:53,029 --> 00:22:51,600 your body and when the environment's 160 00:22:55,350 --> 00:22:53,039 just right 161 00:22:57,909 --> 00:22:55,360 the sound waves and the vibrations and 162 00:23:00,070 --> 00:22:57,919 everything really envelop you and uh and 163 00:23:01,669 --> 00:23:00,080 this was one of those days so 164 00:23:04,230 --> 00:23:01,679 not only is it a 165 00:23:06,070 --> 00:23:04,240 an outstanding flight to have a russian 166 00:23:07,029 --> 00:23:06,080 an american and a european all flying 167 00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:07,039 together 168 00:23:11,909 --> 00:23:09,840 up the station to meet their their three 169 00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:11,919 crewmates on orbit but they're heading 170 00:23:15,190 --> 00:23:13,280 towards a really 171 00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:15,200 exciting increment a very busy increment 172 00:23:19,430 --> 00:23:17,520 as we prepare for the for the last of 173 00:23:21,029 --> 00:23:19,440 the major laboratories 174 00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:21,039 which will help fulfill the dream that 175 00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:22,720 we've always 176 00:23:26,549 --> 00:23:24,880 imagined for iss to be a full-up 177 00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:26,559 research facility 178 00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:28,320 not just a full schedule it appears to 179 00:23:31,669 --> 00:23:30,000 be almost a daunting schedule half a 180 00:23:33,430 --> 00:23:31,679 dozen spacewalks over the next six 181 00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:33,440 months by russian and 182 00:23:36,310 --> 00:23:34,240 u.s 183 00:23:37,830 --> 00:23:36,320 segment crew members and all of the 184 00:23:39,750 --> 00:23:37,840 scientific research and almost every 185 00:23:42,310 --> 00:23:39,760 visiting vehicle that you have in your 186 00:23:44,630 --> 00:23:42,320 fleet uh how is this going to unfold as 187 00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:44,640 the next half year rolls around well i 188 00:23:47,990 --> 00:23:46,640 think you said it it's uh it's a big big 189 00:23:50,310 --> 00:23:48,000 challenge it's been a while since we 190 00:23:51,669 --> 00:23:50,320 have this much activity not only that of 191 00:23:53,750 --> 00:23:51,679 course we're going to have the new 192 00:23:56,070 --> 00:23:53,760 orbital cygnus vehicle as planned to 193 00:23:57,590 --> 00:23:56,080 come up during this period 194 00:23:58,950 --> 00:23:57,600 and we're in the middle as i said 195 00:24:01,350 --> 00:23:58,960 earlier of all of our preparations to 196 00:24:03,029 --> 00:24:01,360 get ready for the arrival of the 197 00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:03,039 multi-purpose laboratory module that our 198 00:24:06,789 --> 00:24:04,640 russian friends are bringing up to to 199 00:24:09,110 --> 00:24:06,799 conduct their research a laboratory i'm 200 00:24:09,909 --> 00:24:09,120 sorry a module dedicated to research and 201 00:24:14,630 --> 00:24:09,919 so 202 00:24:16,070 --> 00:24:14,640 of them going to be outside more than 203 00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:16,080 inside i think this time with all the 204 00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:18,400 eva activity we have so we'll be busy 205 00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:19,919 with all that and meanwhile we have a 206 00:24:23,350 --> 00:24:21,600 commitment for the amount of hours we'll 207 00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:23,360 dedicate to research we intend to honor 208 00:24:27,110 --> 00:24:25,279 that during this period as well so it's 209 00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:27,120 a be a very very challenging increment 210 00:24:50,470 --> 00:24:47,430 it's important for isa this type of 211 00:24:53,430 --> 00:24:50,480 event oh yes first it's a great moment 212 00:24:55,350 --> 00:24:53,440 of emotion i must say that to have 213 00:24:56,390 --> 00:24:55,360 three persons going to space and 214 00:24:58,549 --> 00:24:56,400 especially 215 00:25:00,870 --> 00:24:58,559 one russian one american 216 00:25:02,789 --> 00:25:00,880 one european going together in space 217 00:25:04,870 --> 00:25:02,799 it's a great moment and 218 00:25:07,830 --> 00:25:04,880 but obviously it's a very it's a great 219 00:25:10,710 --> 00:25:07,840 moment for uh for isa but also for italy 220 00:25:13,110 --> 00:25:10,720 because this is a flight uh 221 00:25:14,789 --> 00:25:13,120 thanks to to the italian space agency 222 00:25:19,590 --> 00:25:14,799 but 223 00:25:21,430 --> 00:25:19,600 the most striking uh part is the fact 224 00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:21,440 that this is the first of the young 225 00:25:25,830 --> 00:25:23,440 generation of astronauts so we are 226 00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:25,840 changing of generation and that is 227 00:25:28,789 --> 00:25:27,840 certainly something important for isa 228 00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:28,799 because 229 00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:31,039 we we are preparing the future with this 230 00:25:34,470 --> 00:25:32,000 new 231 00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:34,480 class of astronauts we saw young 232 00:25:37,350 --> 00:25:36,480 engineers on vega young astronauts this 233 00:25:42,070 --> 00:25:37,360 is 234 00:25:44,789 --> 00:25:42,080 the same time yes i think that 235 00:25:46,789 --> 00:25:44,799 this is the cooperation between the uh 236 00:25:49,590 --> 00:25:46,799 the experienced people 237 00:25:51,669 --> 00:25:49,600 what i am and uh and this new generation 238 00:25:54,630 --> 00:25:51,679 this is the best way i think that to 239 00:25:56,470 --> 00:25:54,640 prepare the future is to transmit our 240 00:25:58,549 --> 00:25:56,480 experience and knowledge but they will 241 00:25:59,750 --> 00:25:58,559 bring new ideas they will bring new 242 00:26:01,430 --> 00:25:59,760 things and 243 00:26:03,590 --> 00:26:01,440 i am glad to
