and you'll begin your long-duration

55
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:22,560
mission doing a lot of science

56
00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:25,200
experiments yourselves and uh so with

57
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:26,720
that mike this is going to be your first

58
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:28,480
mission likewise for sergey can you tell

59
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:30,239
us just start start by telling us what

60
00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:31,200
you're doing and what it's like

61
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:33,120
preparing for this this first mission

62
00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:36,000
yeah so the uh the training flow for uh

63
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:38,400
going up into space on the expeditions

64
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:40,160
uh on the international space station is

65
00:02:44,229 --> 00:02:42,080
a two and a half year training flow

66
00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:44,239
and so it's uh it's been a long two and

67
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:45,599
a half years but it's also been a fast

68
00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:47,040
two and a half years if that makes any

69
00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:48,959
sense uh fortunately we've been doing

70
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:51,200
this uh training crews to go to the

71
00:02:54,790 --> 00:02:53,200
space station now for over 10 years and

72
00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:54,800
so they've really fine-tuned that

73
00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:57,360
process and and also i'm very fortunate

74
00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:59,280
because i backed up

75
00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:01,440
chris cassidy who was a very experienced

76
00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:04,400
space flier and i have uh steve swanson

77
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:07,120
is backing me up as well as a as an

78
00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:08,560
experienced guy he's flown twice on the

79
00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:10,080
shuttle and then of course my commander

80
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:12,800
oleg kotov so having those folks around

81
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:13,760
you as you're going through this

82
00:03:16,869 --> 00:03:15,840
training flow is has just been fantastic

83
00:03:18,149 --> 00:03:16,879
because

84
00:03:19,990 --> 00:03:18,159
they're always able to give you those

85
00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:20,000
little bit of nuggets that oftentimes

86
00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:21,680
you don't hear in the classroom

87
00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:23,040
and so that's that's made it very

88
00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:25,120
enjoyable

89
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:27,360
anything else you want to add on that

90
00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:28,480
i think that

91
00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:30,640
training as a cosmonaut

92
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:34,000
is the most fun thing that person can do

93
00:03:38,309 --> 00:03:36,400
in his life

94
00:03:39,589 --> 00:03:38,319
i think most of us agree here

95
00:03:40,949 --> 00:03:39,599
so with that we've got a room full of

96
00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:40,959
folks here anxious to talk with you so

97
00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:42,239
we're going to go ahead and start with

98
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:43,440
some questions here so if you'll just

99
00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:45,280
raise your hand state your name and

100
00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:46,959
affiliation if you're with a media

101
00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:49,040
organization and we'll try to get to as

102
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:51,280
many of you as we can go ahead

103
00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:53,680
jim oberge with nbc news i want to ask

104
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:54,959
the two

105
00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:57,760
currently two rookies i want to ask the

106
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:00,799
two new flyers what kinds of secrets of

107
00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:03,040
space adaptation and space long space

108
00:04:06,949 --> 00:04:04,640
flight have you learned from your

109
00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:06,959
experience commander one in in the dark

110
00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:09,439
or at the bar afterwards what kinds of

111
00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:11,280
secrets has he shared with you to make

112
00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:14,879
your flights your first flights easier

113
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:16,079
yeah so i'll go ahead and start off on

114
00:04:19,990 --> 00:04:18,079
that um you know i think one of the

115
00:04:21,509 --> 00:04:20,000
secrets that you learn is that it's

116
00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:21,519
different for everybody and you're not

117
00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:24,160
really sure how you're going to react

118
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:26,720
once you get up into space and

119
00:04:30,950 --> 00:04:28,160
and so i think we're going to be a

120
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:30,960
little bit of wait and see um there are

121
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:32,720
a few little nuggets here and there but

122
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:34,240
for the most part i think it's really

123
00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:40,390
maybe

124
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:42,560
the main secret is

125
00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:45,440
to be calm and patient

126
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:47,360
so this is

127
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:49,680
how

128
00:04:54,390 --> 00:04:52,880
most people deal with all this

129
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:54,400
stress

130
00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:55,360
to be

131
00:05:01,909 --> 00:04:58,160
first time flyer

132
00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:01,919
this is how they adapt themselves to

133
00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:04,000
specific environment

134
00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:05,039
so

135
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:07,120
looking forward to this one

136
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:08,160
thank you

137
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:10,720
okay next go ahead oh and wait for the

138
00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:17,350
hi robert perlman with collectspace.com

139
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:19,759
um i'm wondering how real-time events in

140
00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:20,800
space

141
00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:22,560
affect your training at this point for

142
00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:25,120
example yesterday's space walk and

143
00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:27,840
um and it's being curtailed does that

144
00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:30,000
have will that have or has that already

145
00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:32,720
had any impact in terms of planning for

146
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:35,919
your own uh stay in space

147
00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:37,680
yeah so uh yesterday obviously was a

148
00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:40,000
very exciting day for the folks up on

149
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:41,600
space station and the folks here on the

150
00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:44,400
ground um but uh uh you know i think the

151
00:05:48,550 --> 00:05:45,919
big thing from yesterday is that

152
00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:48,560
everybody is uh back inside and safe and

153
00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:49,919
uh and the station's in a safe

154
00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:52,080
configuration and works on going i will

155
00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:53,280
say at this point

156
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:54,960
the the issues that they did have

157
00:05:58,230 --> 00:05:56,720
yesterday with the emu

158
00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:58,240
troubleshooting is ongoing we still

159
00:06:01,430 --> 00:06:00,560
don't know what happened and so in terms

160
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:01,440
of

161
00:06:04,710 --> 00:06:03,440
how that's going to impact our flight we

162
00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:04,720
still don't know

163
00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:07,039
but i also say that we're all trained uh

164
00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:08,960
to do uh any and all missions that we

165
00:06:12,469 --> 00:06:10,960
might have up there and so we'll uh

166
00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:12,479
we'll wait and see and and i think we're

167
00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:13,919
ready for for whatever might get thrown

168
00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:15,840
our way

169
00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:17,840
okay um

170
00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:20,800
distribute just a minute

171
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:23,840
hi i'm selyn barber from mike's hometown

172
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:26,720
uh gatehouse media and a magazine in

173
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:28,400
this regional national

174
00:06:31,749 --> 00:06:30,000
um what lessons have you learned from

175
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:31,759
the lake that you're taking up in space

176
00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:34,000
or and or for your towns also that

177
00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:35,440
you're taking up to this particular

178
00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:37,520
mission

179
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:39,280
so what what lessons have we learned

180
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:42,000
from from growing up and yeah so uh you

181
00:06:45,670 --> 00:06:43,840
know i grew up where we're from as a

182
00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:45,680
small community in missouri

183
00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:48,880
and i think there's a lot of benefits

184
00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:50,160
from from growing up in that small

185
00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:52,400
community because you do tend to know a

186
00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:55,599
lot of people um and and you have this

187
00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:57,759
very close-knit feeling and we're

188
00:07:01,589 --> 00:06:59,680
obviously going to be a close-knit group

189
00:07:02,950 --> 00:07:01,599
up there as well with just six of us on

190
00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:02,960
board so

191
00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:04,880
i think that sense of community

192
00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:06,720
sharing with each other helping each

193
00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:07,840
other out

194
00:07:10,550 --> 00:07:09,120
i think that's all important and those

195
00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:10,560
are things that i learned where i grew

196
00:07:18,629 --> 00:07:16,230
i grew up in

197
00:07:21,589 --> 00:07:18,639
the capital of russia moscow is

198
00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:21,599
something really similar to new york

199
00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:23,919
really crazy and crowded

200
00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:24,880
and

201
00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:27,360
also it gives really lots of

202
00:07:30,390 --> 00:07:28,800
possibilities for

203
00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:30,400
small kid to

204
00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:31,280
learn

205
00:07:34,710 --> 00:07:33,520
to study where to go

206
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:34,720
and

207
00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:35,840
so

208
00:07:39,350 --> 00:07:37,680
maybe this is

209
00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:39,360
the main experience that i'm always

210
00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:42,319
looking for something new something

211
00:07:50,309 --> 00:07:46,720
with uh great approaches with a

212
00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:50,319
really new thing uh for myself

213
00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:53,830
like did you want to mention anything

214
00:07:59,589 --> 00:07:56,080
though you know i'm from the military

215
00:08:01,430 --> 00:07:59,599
family so that's i grew up in many

216
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:01,440
cities and towns

217
00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:03,120
so but

218
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:04,879
i get used uh

219
00:08:09,029 --> 00:08:07,120
just

220
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:09,039
enjoying the looking from the window and

221
00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:10,240
so that's

222
00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:12,960
the the best opportunities to do it from

223
00:08:21,909 --> 00:08:19,749
i'm uh nolan peterson with runner's

224
00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:21,919
world and eic tv

225
00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:23,440
and can you explain how some of the

226
00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:26,240
techniques that you use in space to slow

227
00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:28,639
down the decline of the body

228
00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:30,319
could be used for people back on earth

229
00:08:35,750 --> 00:08:32,880
to maybe slow the aging process or

230
00:08:37,909 --> 00:08:35,760
rehab an injury

231
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:37,919
i guess i'll start with that so yeah

232
00:08:42,790 --> 00:08:39,760
you're right when we are in space we do

233
00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:42,800
have uh um some negative effects of that

234
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:44,880
uh zero gravity environment so our

235
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:46,640
muscles will get weaker we can have bone

236
00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:48,880
loss and so the ways that we uh try and

237
00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:50,880
counteract that one of the main ways

238
00:08:55,509 --> 00:08:52,880
is through exercise and so we actually

239
00:08:58,310 --> 00:08:55,519
get quite a bit of time every day to to

240
00:09:00,710 --> 00:08:58,320
exercise and we have three main pieces

241
00:09:02,870 --> 00:09:00,720
of hardware that we use uh during during

242
00:09:05,269 --> 00:09:02,880
that exercise uh the first is arad which

243
00:09:07,910 --> 00:09:05,279
is an adaptive resistive exercise device

244
00:09:09,509 --> 00:09:07,920
that's basically our squat rack and it

245
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:09,519
looks a little bit different

246
00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:10,399
it

247
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:12,399
but in the end the way we're able to to

248
00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:14,480
do lifts very similar to what we do here

249
00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:17,120
on earth squats deadlifts bench press

250
00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:18,480
things like that we're able to do with

251
00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:19,279
it

252
00:09:25,829 --> 00:09:22,399
and then we also have

253
00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:25,839
a treadmill that we use and we also have

254
00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:29,200
a exercise bike and so both of those as

255
00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:30,160
well

256
00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:31,360
we'll have

257
00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:32,720
we can change the loads change the

258
00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:34,560
speeds on those so we can not only

259
00:09:40,550 --> 00:09:36,080
exercise our muscles but our heart and

260
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:44,710
okay

261
00:09:48,389 --> 00:09:46,550
hi i'm carla sanchez i'm a personal

262
00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:48,399
trainer and metabolic nutritionist from

263
00:09:52,310 --> 00:09:51,360
denver colorado my question is what type

264
00:09:54,949 --> 00:09:52,320
of

265
00:09:56,949 --> 00:09:54,959
specific nutritional and or supplemental

266
00:09:58,949 --> 00:09:56,959
strategies do you use

267
00:10:02,550 --> 00:09:58,959
preparing for flight and then in flight

268
00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:02,560
for example whey protein creatine

269
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:05,040
other supplements calcium vitamin d

270
00:10:08,870 --> 00:10:06,880
that's it's a great question we actually

271
00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:08,880
we're very fortunate here at nasa we

272
00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:12,480
have a food lab where they focus

273
00:10:16,470 --> 00:10:14,640
obviously on our diet and we have an

274
00:10:18,630 --> 00:10:16,480
incredible menu up there actually a wide

275
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:18,640
variety menu that doesn't repeat itself

276
00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:20,880
until every eight nine days or so and so

277
00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:22,480
we have a lot of different types of food

278
00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:23,519
that we're

279
00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:25,680
able to enjoy up there and then we also

280
00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:27,120
have some experiments that we're doing

281
00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:29,200
that are focused on

282
00:10:32,949 --> 00:10:30,959
our nutrition and how we might be able

283
00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:32,959
to use that for countermeasures so for

284
00:10:37,509 --> 00:10:35,600
example there's a a pro k experiment

285
00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:37,519
where we're looking at the ratios of

286
00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:39,600
animal proteins to potassium because

287
00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:41,519
there's indications that that ratio

288
00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:44,480
could impact our bone loss and so by

289
00:10:49,030 --> 00:10:46,880
doing something as simple as uh

290
00:10:51,430 --> 00:10:49,040
our nutrition and what we eat we might

291
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:51,440
be able to counteract some of these

292
00:10:54,790 --> 00:10:52,720
negative effects and all that then

293
00:10:55,990 --> 00:10:54,800
there's some benefits to that uh on

294
00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:56,000
earth as well right because if we can

295
00:10:59,030 --> 00:10:57,440
just change our nutrition as we get

296
00:11:02,230 --> 00:10:59,040
older we might also be able to

297
00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:02,240
counteract some of those same impacts

298
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:10,790
during the social media we were just

299
00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:13,600
told live that you were launching a

300
00:11:18,389 --> 00:11:15,839
train like mike hashtag would you like

301
00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:18,399
to elaborate on that twitter

302
00:11:22,069 --> 00:11:19,920
possibility that all the nation in the

303
00:11:24,949 --> 00:11:22,079
world can also interact with and become

304
00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:24,959
more physically fit yeah

305
00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:26,560
yeah so the train like an astronaut

306
00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:28,480
program is one that's been ongoing now

307
00:11:33,430 --> 00:11:30,880
for several years and the focus of that

308
00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:33,440
program is to encourage

309
00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:36,320
kids to get out and exercise increase

310
00:11:40,389 --> 00:11:37,920
their fitness

311
00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:40,399
and so fitness has been a very big part

312
00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:43,920
of my life growing up and and even now

313
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:46,800
and so i'm kind of joining along with

314
00:11:51,269 --> 00:11:49,760
that looking forward to

315
00:11:54,069 --> 00:11:51,279
participating with it and actually

316
00:11:56,629 --> 00:11:54,079
inviting people to uh to join me um in

317
00:11:57,910 --> 00:11:56,639
the last few months of my time on earth

318
00:12:00,230 --> 00:11:57,920
before we launch

319
00:12:02,310 --> 00:12:00,240
and then once i'm on board as well so

320
00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:02,320
hopefully we can follow along with my

321
00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:03,760
exercise program

322
00:12:07,670 --> 00:12:05,279
what i'm doing on board with some video

323
00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:07,680
clips and things like that and

324
00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:10,320
and then also when i land and seeing

325
00:12:13,829 --> 00:12:12,240
what it what happens to us once we get

326
00:12:15,509 --> 00:12:13,839
back down on earth so

327
00:12:17,910 --> 00:12:15,519
we're trying to combine those two things

328
00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:17,920
and very excited to help promote that

329
00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:20,240
and hopefully

330
00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:22,399
show my passion for

331
00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:25,040
fitness to to uh everybody around the

332
00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:26,800
world hopefully get them excited about

333
00:12:29,430 --> 00:12:28,160
in the same time get them excited about

334
00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:29,440
space

335
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:30,880
okay i think we have another question

336
00:12:36,069 --> 00:12:32,480
down here

337
00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:36,079
um hi i'm leah crane no affiliation um

338
00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:38,399
and a very general question um i'm

339
00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:40,800
wondering what you would say was your

340
00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:42,720
most important step

341
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:44,880
towards getting here and getting to

342
00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:56,550
i still haven't decided which is the

343
00:13:01,670 --> 00:12:59,200
main step you know because uh

344
00:13:03,030 --> 00:13:01,680
every step is very important when you

345
00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:03,040
step over

346
00:13:06,629 --> 00:13:04,959
first time to be a cosmonaut or

347
00:13:08,389 --> 00:13:06,639
astronaut this is very

348
00:13:09,829 --> 00:13:08,399
important milestone in your life when

349
00:13:11,269 --> 00:13:09,839
you're uh

350
00:13:12,629 --> 00:13:11,279
assigned

351
00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:12,639
to the uh

352
00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:13,920
and crew

353
00:13:19,110 --> 00:13:16,240
it's also very important that that's

354
00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:19,120
very big responsibility and again of

355
00:13:24,629 --> 00:13:21,920
course our next milestone is uh going to

356
00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:24,639
be our launch in the end of september

357
00:13:27,590 --> 00:13:25,920
and uh

358
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:27,600
we're really expecting

359
00:13:32,949 --> 00:13:30,320
expecting have a very nice and smooth

360
00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:32,959
mission up there so that's

361
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:35,120
that's my opinion about this question

362
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:36,720
okay

363
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:37,760
all right sergey you want to add

364
00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:38,720
anything

365
00:13:44,150 --> 00:13:41,440
i think that everything that we are we

366
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:44,160
were doing in our lives a small

367
00:13:48,629 --> 00:13:47,120
milestone like i really ex i really

368
00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:48,639
respect

369
00:13:55,670 --> 00:13:52,240
some of my teachers that gave me

370
00:13:55,680 --> 00:14:00,550
direction forward some push

371
00:14:06,069 --> 00:14:03,990
and also they they opened me

372
00:14:08,069 --> 00:14:06,079
uh science field

373
00:14:10,470 --> 00:14:08,079
that's why i uh

374
00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:10,480
dreamed to become a scientist

375
00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:12,320
they described how

376
00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:15,040
great is space industry and

377
00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:16,639
that is

378
00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:20,160
every new technology is coming from this

379
00:14:24,790 --> 00:14:21,440
frontier

380
00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:24,800
so i was really proud to start doing

381
00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:28,000
science in space industry so all these

382
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:30,399
small steps are really

383
00:14:39,030 --> 00:14:35,189
i think we have one more question over

384
00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:41,670
thank you um tarek malek with space.com

385
00:14:44,389 --> 00:14:43,519

386
00:14:47,189 --> 00:14:44,399

mike you're the first of the 09 class to

388
00:14:50,629 --> 00:14:48,800
fly in space i'm wondering

389
00:14:52,470 --> 00:14:50,639
if there's a lot of envy going along

390
00:14:54,069 --> 00:14:52,480
with your classmates or if if they're

391
00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:54,079
all giving you you know

392
00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:57,120
uh monday quarterback tips uh

393
00:15:02,150 --> 00:14:59,600
for it and uh for sergey i'm curious how

394
00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:02,160
your experience uh with the the mars

395
00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:04,160
simulation mission has prepared you for

396
00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:06,639
the flight thanks

397
00:15:13,110 --> 00:15:10,880
okay um so my class of 14 there was 14

398
00:15:15,670 --> 00:15:13,120
of us in the class of 2009 and they have

399
00:15:16,870 --> 00:15:15,680
all been absolutely fantastic uh very

400
00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:16,880
supportive

401
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:20,000
um you know i think everybody that's not

402
00:15:23,269 --> 00:15:21,680
assigned wants to be assigned everybody

403
00:15:25,509 --> 00:15:23,279
that's

404
00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:25,519
is watching somebody else launch whether

405
00:15:28,550 --> 00:15:26,880
it's my class or any of the other

406
00:15:30,949 --> 00:15:28,560
astronauts are wishing they were in that

407
00:15:33,030 --> 00:15:30,959
seat as well because that's uh that's

408
00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:33,040
what we do that's what we love to do and

409
00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:35,040
so i think we all would

410
00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:36,880
probably soon after we landed want to be

411
00:15:39,829 --> 00:15:38,560
launching again

412
00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:39,839
as far as the classical you know

413
00:15:43,350 --> 00:15:41,680
somebody has to be first uh i was

414
00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:43,360
fortunate enough to get picked to to be

415
00:15:46,790 --> 00:15:45,360
the first one that doesn't uh that only

416
00:15:48,629 --> 00:15:46,800
means on the first it doesn't mean i'm

417
00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:48,639
the best or i won't be the last in the

418
00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:50,959
class and so i can't wait to uh to see

419
00:15:54,629 --> 00:15:53,279
the rest of my classmates sitting here

420
00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:54,639
going through their preface conference

421
00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:56,720
before they're launching

422
00:16:05,110 --> 00:16:02,310
mars project is something different

423
00:16:06,230 --> 00:16:05,120
from what we will have on iss mars

424
00:16:09,430 --> 00:16:06,240
project

425
00:16:12,870 --> 00:16:09,440
is mainly psychological

426
00:16:16,150 --> 00:16:12,880
it's extreme isolation from normal life

427
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:16,160
uh but maybe the most important thing

428
00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:17,120
that i

429
00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:18,959
got there

430
00:16:21,670 --> 00:16:19,920
is

431
00:16:24,949 --> 00:16:21,680
how hard

432
00:16:27,030 --> 00:16:24,959
is being commander

433
00:16:29,829 --> 00:16:27,040
to have all this

434
00:16:34,550 --> 00:16:29,839
responsibility for the crew

435
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:34,560
to work as a high manager psychologist

436
00:16:36,389 --> 00:16:35,680
teacher

437
00:16:40,310 --> 00:16:36,399
and

438
00:16:43,350 --> 00:16:40,320
so

439
00:16:45,670 --> 00:16:43,360
that's why i really understand

440
00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:45,680
the hard work of my commander after that

441
00:16:49,189 --> 00:16:47,759
experiment

442
00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:49,199
okay we're going to take a quick break

443
00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:50,880
here and switch over to kennedy space

444
00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:52,800
center where i believe we have at least

445
00:17:02,310 --> 00:17:00,069
dan billow from wesh tv

446
00:17:03,910 --> 00:17:02,320
kind of a two-part question here

447
00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:03,920
forgive me if you've addressed the first

448
00:17:07,590 --> 00:17:05,360
part but would you talk a little bit

449
00:17:10,630 --> 00:17:07,600
about any evas that you have scheduled

450
00:17:12,150 --> 00:17:10,640
on the expedition if any and tell me how

451
00:17:13,590 --> 00:17:12,160
closely you'll be following how

452
00:17:16,829 --> 00:17:13,600
concerned are you about the

453
00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:16,839
investigation into what happened

454
00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:19,760
yesterday so from the u.s side of the

455
00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:22,319
house currently we don't have any um

456
00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:25,120
planned evas during during my increments

457
00:17:30,070 --> 00:17:27,760
expeditions 37 and 38. i'll let oleg

458
00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:30,080
address from the russian side of the

459
00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:32,480
house as far as the investigation

460
00:17:36,950 --> 00:17:35,120
is concerned you're certainly concerned

461
00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:36,960
about what happened yesterday but again

462
00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:39,360
i did mention earlier

463
00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:42,240
the the key is that the teams both on

464
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:44,960
board and on the ground reacted uh very

465
00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:47,200
quickly appropriately and we're able to

466
00:17:51,590 --> 00:17:49,360
get everybody in safe and i have all the

467
00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:51,600
confidence in the world that whatever

468
00:17:55,669 --> 00:17:53,520
caused the issues yesterday they're

469
00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:55,679
going to find out and before

470
00:17:59,510 --> 00:17:57,280
before they send anybody else out the

471
00:18:01,590 --> 00:17:59,520
door at least from the usos side

472
00:18:03,110 --> 00:18:01,600
that they'll have that solved and

473
00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:03,120
and i'm confident then that we can do it

474
00:18:06,630 --> 00:18:04,799
safely

475
00:18:08,549 --> 00:18:06,640
and again from the russian side we are

476
00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:08,559
currently are scheduled to perform seven

477
00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:10,720
years mostly related on the

478
00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:13,360
new russian research model module

479
00:18:16,150 --> 00:18:14,720
arriving

480
00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:16,160
so the master

481
00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:17,360
all of these

482
00:18:22,230 --> 00:18:20,400
evas are pointed to

483
00:18:25,350 --> 00:18:22,240
adaptations in your module to the

484
00:18:28,549 --> 00:18:25,360
station so so far we still planning to

485
00:18:32,870 --> 00:18:30,390
okay um with that we're going to switch

486
00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:32,880

with daily nightline

490
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:42,400
um

491
00:18:48,950 --> 00:18:47,840
undergrad

492
00:18:53,669 --> 00:18:48,960
um

493
00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:53,679
first question is more personal for mike

494
00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:55,679
as a former player do you have any do

495
00:18:59,909 --> 00:18:57,120
you um

496
00:19:01,750 --> 00:18:59,919
want to venture any i guess

497
00:19:04,789 --> 00:19:01,760
um predictions for the football season

498
00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:04,799
this year for the illini

499
00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:06,640
and the second part of the questions for

500
00:19:10,470 --> 00:19:09,120
the other um for sergey and oleg who

501
00:19:11,510 --> 00:19:10,480
have been out of space

502
00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:11,520
what do you

503
00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:14,960
biggest uh

504
00:19:17,909 --> 00:19:16,160
i guess

505
00:19:20,710 --> 00:19:17,919
what do you miss the most when you are

506
00:19:26,150 --> 00:19:23,590
good question yeah so um

507
00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:26,160
yeah obviously uh the illini uh

508
00:19:32,150 --> 00:19:27,600
university of illinois and the illini

509
00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:32,160
are very uh um dear to me um i i had the

510
00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:34,480
fortune of playing football there for

511
00:19:40,150 --> 00:19:37,600
four years and so i'm very excited about

512
00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:40,160
the upcoming season um it'll be coach

513
00:19:44,630 --> 00:19:42,799
beckman's second season and so

514
00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:44,640
as far as predictions i think we're

515
00:19:48,390 --> 00:19:45,840
going to see

516
00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:48,400
a winning season and hopefully a bowl

517
00:19:55,510 --> 00:19:50,799
game and so i expect very good things

518
00:20:00,230 --> 00:19:57,909
okay and our next caller is kimberly

519
00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:00,240
shofield with w

520
00:20:07,990 --> 00:20:06,549
maybe we will miss the most important

521
00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:08,000
unusual things

522
00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:09,679
uh our families

523
00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:12,320
uh our friends and spending time with

524
00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:13,280
them

525
00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:14,080
so

526
00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:16,240
we're not really different from normal

527
00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:17,280
people

528
00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:18,240
that are

529
00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:24,149
i feel better about this point because i

530
00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:28,080
am exactly know what i'll missed okay

531
00:20:32,390 --> 00:20:28,960
again

532
00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:32,400
of course it's our lovers but

533
00:20:37,510 --> 00:20:35,520
it's most important for us now but also

534
00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:37,520
i really will miss the bath

535
00:20:43,830 --> 00:20:42,950
thank you

536
00:20:44,630 --> 00:20:43,840
okay

537
00:20:46,549 --> 00:20:44,640
um

538
00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:46,559
let's see our next caller again kimberly

539
00:20:52,549 --> 00:20:50,240
shofield with wdws radio

540
00:20:55,190 --> 00:20:52,559
my question is also for mike i'm in

541
00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:55,200
champaign illinois and i was wondering

542
00:20:58,710 --> 00:20:57,280
my first question is how does it feel to

543
00:21:02,789 --> 00:20:58,720
be one of the first from the graduating

544
00:21:04,230 --> 00:21:02,799
class of 2009 to be going into space

545
00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:04,240
yeah so it

546
00:21:07,750 --> 00:21:05,760
feels amazing

547
00:21:10,789 --> 00:21:07,760
but in many respects sometimes it

548
00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:10,799
doesn't it doesn't seem real too

549
00:21:14,310 --> 00:21:13,280
you know you you spend all this time

550
00:21:16,149 --> 00:21:14,320
training

551
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:16,159
and every day there's uh there's a new

552
00:21:20,230 --> 00:21:18,720
class there's a new uh uh trainer that

553
00:21:21,830 --> 00:21:20,240
you have to go through or simulation

554
00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:21,840
that you go through and

555
00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:24,080
and uh sometimes it's it's easy to lose

556
00:21:27,909 --> 00:21:25,760
sight that at the end of this uh you're

557
00:21:29,029 --> 00:21:27,919
actually gonna be up in space and so i

558
00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:29,039
know for

559
00:21:32,549 --> 00:21:30,960
for uh someone that's been there before

560
00:21:34,950 --> 00:21:32,559
um he has a good sense of what it's

561
00:21:36,149 --> 00:21:34,960
going to feel like but again for me it's

562
00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:36,159
it's sometimes it's a little hard to

563
00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:37,120
imagine

564
00:21:41,029 --> 00:21:39,760
and so i expect the reality will hit

565
00:21:42,710 --> 00:21:41,039
about the time

566
00:21:45,750 --> 00:21:42,720
the countdown hits zero in the rocket

567
00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:45,760
lights and we start to go

568
00:21:49,029 --> 00:21:47,039
okay and

569
00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:49,039
then how did your time at the university

570
00:21:52,149 --> 00:21:50,880
of illinois affect what you were doing

571
00:22:01,029 --> 00:21:52,159
today

572
00:22:05,909 --> 00:22:04,390
i didn't miss the question i'm sorry

573
00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:05,919
how did your time at the university of

574
00:22:08,549 --> 00:22:07,440
illinois impact what you were doing

575
00:22:10,950 --> 00:22:08,559
today

576
00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:10,960
uh yeah so how did

577
00:22:14,149 --> 00:22:12,720
my time in illinois impact uh what i'm

578
00:22:15,350 --> 00:22:14,159
doing today well

579
00:22:17,430 --> 00:22:15,360
the the first thing i'm going to say

580
00:22:19,750 --> 00:22:17,440
that had a huge impact is i met my wife

581
00:22:22,789 --> 00:22:19,760
there and

582
00:22:26,149 --> 00:22:22,799
and so she has been a huge part of uh

583
00:22:28,070 --> 00:22:26,159
this adventure that we've been on and so

584
00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:28,080
i'd say that's probably first and

585
00:22:32,870 --> 00:22:29,520
foremost the biggest impact that i've

586
00:22:34,789 --> 00:22:32,880
had from illinois and then second is as

587
00:22:36,789 --> 00:22:34,799
sergey was kind of alluding to earlier i

588
00:22:39,350 --> 00:22:36,799
mean everything that we've we've gone

589
00:22:40,950 --> 00:22:39,360
through and done has had an impact as to

590
00:22:42,549 --> 00:22:40,960
why we're here or what's given us the

591
00:22:44,630 --> 00:22:42,559
opportunity to be here today and

592
00:22:46,549 --> 00:22:44,640
illinois is certainly

593
00:22:47,990 --> 00:22:46,559
no different from that i learned an

594
00:22:50,230 --> 00:22:48,000
amazing

595
00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:50,240
amount just from not only the school

596
00:22:55,190 --> 00:22:52,480
aspects of things and as part of the

597
00:22:56,630 --> 00:22:55,200
aeroastro program but also from being on

598
00:22:58,630 --> 00:22:56,640
the football team from being a part of

599
00:23:00,950 --> 00:22:58,640
rotc and being in a fraternity and so

600
00:23:02,950 --> 00:23:00,960
you make lifelong friendships uh you

601
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:02,960
learn how to to be a part of a team and

602
00:23:06,710 --> 00:23:04,960
of a community and

603
00:23:10,230 --> 00:23:06,720
and so all of that has just had huge

604
00:23:11,830 --> 00:23:10,240
impacts on on my opportunity to be here

605
00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:11,840
okay we've had folks following along

606
00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:14,080
with this online and be been accepting

607
00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:15,600
some questions via twitter so i think

608
00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:17,600
amico has a couple questions for us go

609
00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:19,760
ahead so we have a few questions on

610
00:23:22,789 --> 00:23:21,600
social media as nicole mentioned not

611
00:23:24,310 --> 00:23:22,799
everybody could attend today's

612
00:23:25,750 --> 00:23:24,320
activities but they are following along

613
00:23:27,909 --> 00:23:25,760
and so we do have a few questions for

614
00:23:29,750 --> 00:23:27,919
you the first one is how much breathable

615
00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:29,760
air does the space station store and how

616
00:23:41,750 --> 00:23:38,630
it's very difficult to count all air you

617
00:23:43,990 --> 00:23:41,760
can find the stage but uh usually the

618
00:23:46,149 --> 00:23:44,000
oxygen is

619
00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:46,159
produced on the station from the water

620
00:23:52,310 --> 00:23:48,480
it's a chemical

621
00:23:54,789 --> 00:23:52,320
process and uh also we need some air

622
00:23:56,870 --> 00:23:54,799
which will deliver it by the

623
00:23:59,110 --> 00:23:56,880
cargo vehicles

624
00:24:03,430 --> 00:23:59,120
uh and also you know we need to remove

625
00:24:06,230 --> 00:24:03,440
co2 so that's like life and close volume

626
00:24:08,870 --> 00:24:07,590
to have

627
00:24:10,310 --> 00:24:08,880
here

628
00:24:12,230 --> 00:24:10,320
yeah so we do have a couple of

629
00:24:14,710 --> 00:24:12,240
components on onboard space station both

630
00:24:17,590 --> 00:24:14,720
down in the russian segment in the u.s

631
00:24:19,590 --> 00:24:17,600
segment that both generate oxygen and

632
00:24:21,190 --> 00:24:19,600
get rid of the co2 out of the systems

633
00:24:22,950 --> 00:24:21,200
and

634
00:24:24,710 --> 00:24:22,960
so we're in some sense we're

635
00:24:26,630 --> 00:24:24,720
self-generating we

636
00:24:28,230 --> 00:24:26,640
we generate what we need

637
00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:28,240
from an oxygen standpoint from an air

638
00:24:31,590 --> 00:24:30,000
standpoint and we also help clean that

639
00:24:33,590 --> 00:24:31,600
but then occasionally the the cargo

640
00:24:36,230 --> 00:24:33,600
vehicles when they do come up are able

641
00:24:37,669 --> 00:24:36,240
to uh to bring up any uh

642
00:24:40,390 --> 00:24:37,679
extra that we may need that we're not

643
00:24:42,390 --> 00:24:40,400
able to generate ourselves

644
00:24:44,230 --> 00:24:42,400
good deal thank you so we have another

645
00:24:47,029 --> 00:24:44,240
question here and hopefully this is not

646
00:24:49,350 --> 00:24:47,039
a curveball for you we are talking about

647
00:24:52,149 --> 00:24:49,360
sports after all right so could the crew

648
00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:52,159
tell us about the new mlm and how

649
00:24:58,789 --> 00:24:53,840
important it will be in terms of the

650
00:25:05,510 --> 00:25:01,110
uh mlm

651
00:25:07,269 --> 00:25:05,520
means a multi-functional lab module

652
00:25:12,070 --> 00:25:07,279
it's

653
00:25:13,029 --> 00:25:12,080
main science lab on the russian segment

654
00:25:15,669 --> 00:25:13,039
many

655
00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:15,679
new absolutely new

656
00:25:19,590 --> 00:25:17,360
science equipment

657
00:25:22,789 --> 00:25:19,600
is planned to come

658
00:25:24,789 --> 00:25:22,799
many new experiments are planned to be

659
00:25:28,789 --> 00:25:24,799
there

660
00:25:29,990 --> 00:25:28,799
from science point of view is a really

661
00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:30,000
amazing

662
00:25:37,350 --> 00:25:34,240
lab modern and interesting

663
00:25:40,710 --> 00:25:37,360
so we're looking forward to have it on

664
00:25:45,750 --> 00:25:40,720
board hopefully it will be on our crew

665
00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:45,760
if not then it will be later but

666
00:25:50,230 --> 00:25:48,640
it will be really great to see this

667
00:25:52,390 --> 00:25:50,240
senseless

668
00:25:54,830 --> 00:25:52,400
let me to add a couple words because

669
00:25:57,669 --> 00:25:54,840
also this module provide

670
00:26:01,190 --> 00:25:57,679
extra power for our life support system

671
00:26:03,590 --> 00:26:01,200
because we also will be a few

672
00:26:05,110 --> 00:26:03,600
life support system

673
00:26:07,990 --> 00:26:05,120
for example the same

674
00:26:09,669 --> 00:26:08,000
oxygen generator another one for russian

675
00:26:12,870 --> 00:26:09,679
segments it means

676
00:26:16,070 --> 00:26:12,880
for whole station and also suppose uh

677
00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:16,080
you're gonna be there the crew quarter

678
00:26:20,710 --> 00:26:18,880
so for third russian crew member

679
00:26:22,710 --> 00:26:20,720
and

680
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:22,720
it's another very important component is

681
00:26:27,510 --> 00:26:25,760
uh two elliot here

682
00:26:29,269 --> 00:26:27,520
whc so that

683
00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:29,279
it's again it's very important stuff for

684
00:26:32,710 --> 00:26:31,200
station so that's really

685
00:26:34,789 --> 00:26:32,720
going to be a very

686
00:26:37,750 --> 00:26:34,799
a huge improvement for russian segment

687
00:26:39,190 --> 00:26:37,760
and also for a whole station

688
00:26:43,430 --> 00:26:39,200
thank you

689
00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:43,440
that new addition to the space station

690
00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:45,760
one last question um from the verse what

691
00:26:51,269 --> 00:26:47,760
types of biological experiments will be

692
00:26:54,070 --> 00:26:51,279
going on aboard the space station

693
00:26:55,750 --> 00:26:54,080
and so uh we do have a variety of

694
00:26:57,029 --> 00:26:55,760
biological experiments where you're

695
00:27:05,510 --> 00:26:57,039
looking at

696
00:27:07,029 --> 00:27:05,520
or plants and so we do have some like

697
00:27:08,950 --> 00:27:07,039
uh two is an experiment that we'll be

698
00:27:11,190 --> 00:27:08,960
doing that's looking at the impacts on

699
00:27:13,669 --> 00:27:11,200
acceleration on the root growth and and

700
00:27:15,590 --> 00:27:13,679
uh how it uh impacts the direction of

701
00:27:16,630 --> 00:27:15,600
that root growth

702
00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:16,640
and

703
00:27:19,590 --> 00:27:18,240
there's a possibility that while we're

704
00:27:20,389 --> 00:27:19,600
up there we could have some ants coming

705
00:27:23,110 --> 00:27:20,399
on board

706
00:27:25,269 --> 00:27:23,120
as well so that could be very exciting

707
00:27:27,110 --> 00:27:25,279
to to have some pets

708
00:27:29,190 --> 00:27:27,120
for a little while

709
00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:29,200
so there's a wide range of biology

710
00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:30,720
experiments that are that are being

711
00:27:33,669 --> 00:27:32,080
executed

712
00:27:35,350 --> 00:27:33,679
okay great and so just a quick reminder

713
00:27:37,190 --> 00:27:35,360
that people can still submit questions

714
00:27:38,789 --> 00:27:37,200
using the hashtag ask nasa and we can

715
00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:38,799
weave those in so with that we're

716
00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:40,640
returning back here to johnson's space

717
00:27:44,549 --> 00:27:42,320
owners for some more questions from the

718
00:27:50,389 --> 00:27:44,559
group anybody okay i think we just hold

719
00:27:53,830 --> 00:27:52,470
hi i'm niala wright i'm a publicist and

720
00:27:55,269 --> 00:27:53,840
event producer

721
00:27:57,669 --> 00:27:55,279
and we didn't get an answer to the

722
00:28:02,389 --> 00:27:57,679
question about what the cosmonauts miss

723
00:28:06,870 --> 00:28:04,230
i believe that was the question from the

724
00:28:09,190 --> 00:28:06,880
gentleman from um illinois he asked what

725
00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:09,200
what our veterans miss the most

726
00:28:13,590 --> 00:28:10,799
about being in space when they're on

727
00:28:29,029 --> 00:28:14,630
so

728
00:28:35,430 --> 00:28:32,310
since yeah that's that's great and to me

729
00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:35,440
uh view from the windows again that's

730
00:28:43,350 --> 00:28:36,880
probably the best

731
00:28:46,870 --> 00:28:45,110
okay any other questions from our

732
00:28:49,669 --> 00:28:46,880
visitors or media here in the room okay

733
00:28:52,789 --> 00:28:51,350
thanks uh tarek malk again from

734
00:28:55,750 --> 00:28:52,799
space.com i think i have a just a

735
00:28:58,149 --> 00:28:55,760
follow-up for for mike uh you mentioned

736
00:28:59,669 --> 00:28:58,159
your your twitter handle the hashtag and

737
00:29:01,350 --> 00:28:59,679
and whatnot we've seen

738
00:29:04,389 --> 00:29:01,360
many examples in the last couple years

739
00:29:06,230 --> 00:29:04,399
of uh astronauts embracing social media

740
00:29:07,430 --> 00:29:06,240
in space i'm wondering what your plans

741
00:29:10,070 --> 00:29:07,440
are going to be for that how you'll

742
00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:10,080
continue your your your training

743
00:29:12,870 --> 00:29:12,080
uh meme when you get into space thank

744
00:29:15,830 --> 00:29:12,880
you

745
00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:15,840
yeah so i have to admit i'm uh new to

746
00:29:20,389 --> 00:29:18,880
the social media scene and uh and to the

747
00:29:23,029 --> 00:29:20,399
twitter scene so

748
00:29:24,389 --> 00:29:23,039
um i can credit nasa for for getting me

749
00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:24,399
on board with that

750
00:29:28,070 --> 00:29:25,360
um

751
00:29:29,909 --> 00:29:28,080
and so what i've tried to do uh over the

752
00:29:33,269 --> 00:29:29,919
past two years two and a half years of

753
00:29:34,549 --> 00:29:33,279
the of my training flow is to uh is to

754
00:29:36,789 --> 00:29:34,559
share some of the pictures and some of

755
00:29:39,350 --> 00:29:36,799
the events that that i've experienced on

756
00:29:40,870 --> 00:29:39,360
a daily basis and uh and so i'd like to

757
00:29:42,870 --> 00:29:40,880
try and continue that once i get up on

758
00:29:45,510 --> 00:29:42,880
orbit and i think you've already seen

759
00:29:46,870 --> 00:29:45,520
some of that um whether they're pictures

760
00:29:49,269 --> 00:29:46,880
of the earth or whether the pictures of

761
00:29:51,430 --> 00:29:49,279
some of the work that's going on inside

762
00:29:53,190 --> 00:29:51,440
i'd like to try and continue and share

763
00:29:55,110 --> 00:29:53,200
that with with people all around the

764
00:29:56,630 --> 00:29:55,120
world

765
00:29:58,950 --> 00:29:56,640
okay and i think we have a question here

766
00:30:01,909 --> 00:29:58,960
at the back hi kevin charles with news

767
00:30:03,430 --> 00:30:01,919
92 fm here in houston and it's as much a

768
00:30:06,230 --> 00:30:03,440
comet as it is a question but i'd like

769
00:30:08,470 --> 00:30:06,240
your your feelings on this when we were

770
00:30:09,990 --> 00:30:08,480
going to the moon however many years ago

771
00:30:11,430 --> 00:30:10,000
this week

772
00:30:13,190 --> 00:30:11,440
russians and the americans were

773
00:30:15,430 --> 00:30:13,200
basically racing to see who could go the

774
00:30:16,950 --> 00:30:15,440
best in space who could do the best job

775
00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:16,960
now here we are flying together you're

776
00:30:20,710 --> 00:30:18,960
here in houston training and then we go

777
00:30:22,230 --> 00:30:20,720
back to russia to fly

778
00:30:23,510 --> 00:30:22,240
how does that make you feel now from

779
00:30:26,870 --> 00:30:23,520
both sides of the country from both

780
00:30:30,789 --> 00:30:29,190
well i'll start off

781
00:30:32,549 --> 00:30:30,799
the international aspects of this as

782
00:30:36,389 --> 00:30:32,559
you're absolutely right

783
00:30:38,149 --> 00:30:36,399
apollo soyuz uh was going on uh um

784
00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:38,159
i think on these days not

785
00:30:42,149 --> 00:30:39,760
how many years ago i i don't know the

786
00:30:44,710 --> 00:30:42,159
exact number but uh um so that was kind

787
00:30:47,909 --> 00:30:44,720
of the start of that cooperation and uh

788
00:30:49,190 --> 00:30:47,919
i think uh it's grown and the the

789
00:30:52,230 --> 00:30:49,200
international space station as a

790
00:30:54,070 --> 00:30:52,240
testament to that cooperation

791
00:30:55,669 --> 00:30:54,080
to that working together on an

792
00:30:58,630 --> 00:30:55,679
international scale and i think it's

793
00:31:00,789 --> 00:30:58,640
absolutely fantastic one of the joys of

794
00:31:03,190 --> 00:31:00,799
the past two and a half years is the

795
00:31:06,630 --> 00:31:03,200
international aspect of it you get to

796
00:31:08,710 --> 00:31:06,640
experience and see and learn

797
00:31:11,509 --> 00:31:08,720
from your international colleagues your

798
00:31:14,470 --> 00:31:11,519
russian colleagues but also from

799
00:31:17,190 --> 00:31:14,480
europe from japan from canada

800
00:31:19,669 --> 00:31:17,200
it's all just been a wonderful piece of

801
00:31:21,350 --> 00:31:19,679
it and i think that's what's allowed us

802
00:31:22,710 --> 00:31:21,360
to accomplish what we have with the

803
00:31:24,310 --> 00:31:22,720
international space station and i think

804
00:31:27,430 --> 00:31:24,320
that's what's going to allow us to go uh

805
00:31:28,389 --> 00:31:27,440
beyond low earth orbit someday

806
00:31:31,509 --> 00:31:28,399
okay

807
00:31:33,830 --> 00:31:31,519
any other do you want to add anything

808
00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:33,840
i'm just i'd like to add a couple words

809
00:31:39,590 --> 00:31:36,640
about that you know that's

810
00:31:42,070 --> 00:31:39,600
i think a current step of

811
00:31:42,950 --> 00:31:42,080
interaction between two countries as a

812
00:31:46,389 --> 00:31:42,960
good

813
00:31:48,310 --> 00:31:46,399
example how to improve mankind flight

814
00:31:50,630 --> 00:31:48,320
and space because before as you

815
00:31:52,389 --> 00:31:50,640
mentioned it was racing now it's a

816
00:31:53,990 --> 00:31:52,399
different kind of racing because we work

817
00:31:57,590 --> 00:31:54,000
together but we're still racing between

818
00:32:02,470 --> 00:31:57,600
us to do our job better and

819
00:32:05,750 --> 00:32:02,480
that's again it's very important but our

820
00:32:10,789 --> 00:32:08,549
experience to work together uh fly

821
00:32:13,590 --> 00:32:10,799
together it's very important for both

822
00:32:14,549 --> 00:32:13,600
countries thank you

823
00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:14,559
okay

824
00:32:18,070 --> 00:32:16,080
other questions here from the room we've

825
00:32:21,669 --> 00:32:18,080
got some more time okay

826
00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:23,509
what are you most excited about on this

827
00:32:31,350 --> 00:32:29,750
so i i think for me as a as a first-time

828
00:32:33,029 --> 00:32:31,360
flyer the thing i'm most excited about

829
00:32:34,789 --> 00:32:33,039
is actually getting there and being

830
00:32:37,509 --> 00:32:34,799
there um like i mentioned earlier it's

831
00:32:39,430 --> 00:32:37,519
hard for me to imagine so i'm i'm very

832
00:32:41,269 --> 00:32:39,440
excited about uh

833
00:32:45,110 --> 00:32:41,279
waking up one morning and realizing holy

834
00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:46,549
okay i think we have another question up

835
00:32:55,110 --> 00:32:52,549
my name is anna fulbright and i'm just a

836
00:32:57,269 --> 00:32:55,120
lifetime nasa lover i grew up in houston

837
00:32:58,870 --> 00:32:57,279
and when you first thing when i got to

838
00:33:01,190 --> 00:32:58,880
nasa i noticed the history is so rich

839
00:33:02,870 --> 00:33:01,200
and diverse here what do each of you

840
00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:02,880
hope that your place in nasa history

841
00:33:17,430 --> 00:33:10,470
it depends on our

842
00:33:21,590 --> 00:33:19,269
no i think uh

843
00:33:24,070 --> 00:33:21,600
you know we're we're just a small piece

844
00:33:27,350 --> 00:33:24,080
of uh of nasa as you mentioned it's

845
00:33:29,669 --> 00:33:27,360
already obviously uh both uh here and in

846
00:33:31,590 --> 00:33:29,679
russia there's a there's a lot of

847
00:33:32,389 --> 00:33:31,600
history a lot of rich history a lot of

848
00:33:34,389 --> 00:33:32,399
uh

849
00:33:37,110 --> 00:33:34,399
people that have contributed to that and

850
00:33:39,509 --> 00:33:37,120
so if we're able just to

851
00:33:41,110 --> 00:33:39,519
to add a little bit to it and i think

852
00:33:43,509 --> 00:33:41,120
most importantly have a safe mission and

853
00:33:45,269 --> 00:33:43,519
a successful mission uh i think i'll

854
00:33:48,950 --> 00:33:45,279
certainly feel satisfied and i suspect

855
00:33:56,870 --> 00:33:48,960
my my crewmates will as well

856
00:34:00,870 --> 00:33:59,029
hi i'm carrie fieble houston public

857
00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:00,880
radio can you be a little bit more

858
00:34:05,350 --> 00:34:03,760
specific about how the work along

859
00:34:06,470 --> 00:34:05,360
workout along with you is going to work

860
00:34:09,030 --> 00:34:06,480
are you going to do

861
00:34:10,950 --> 00:34:09,040
a daily workout that people can

862
00:34:12,790 --> 00:34:10,960
copy move for move

863
00:34:14,710 --> 00:34:12,800
on the web or is it going to be a

864
00:34:17,430 --> 00:34:14,720
journal entry or how is it going to work

865
00:34:19,109 --> 00:34:17,440
that you would get people involved so

866
00:34:21,109 --> 00:34:19,119
i'll uh i'll answer a piece of that and

867
00:34:23,109 --> 00:34:21,119
i'm going to actually let nicole answer

868
00:34:24,790 --> 00:34:23,119
a little bit of that as well so

869
00:34:26,149 --> 00:34:24,800
as far as working out

870
00:34:28,790 --> 00:34:26,159
and i think we mentioned it earlier is

871
00:34:31,270 --> 00:34:28,800
we do that every day on station we have

872
00:34:33,190 --> 00:34:31,280
about two hours a day that's dedicated

873
00:34:34,790 --> 00:34:33,200
um to working out whether it's lifting

874
00:34:37,190 --> 00:34:34,800
weights or running on the treadmill or

875
00:34:38,790 --> 00:34:37,200
riding that bike and that's because of

876
00:34:40,710 --> 00:34:38,800
these negative impacts that that we

877
00:34:43,109 --> 00:34:40,720
mentioned earlier from the bone loss the

878
00:34:44,710 --> 00:34:43,119
muscle loss and just the conditioning

879
00:34:47,430 --> 00:34:44,720
and so

880
00:34:50,230 --> 00:34:47,440
we have a team here on the ground

881
00:34:52,310 --> 00:34:50,240
fitness experts that

882
00:34:54,790 --> 00:34:52,320
put together a program for us

883
00:34:57,190 --> 00:34:54,800
on on all of those pieces of hardware

884
00:34:58,870 --> 00:34:57,200
and so we try to follow those sometimes

885
00:35:00,950 --> 00:34:58,880
they get a little tough

886
00:35:02,310 --> 00:35:00,960
and you have to scale back which i think

887
00:35:03,910 --> 00:35:02,320
most of you that do work out know that

888
00:35:05,670 --> 00:35:03,920
some days are better than others and

889
00:35:09,510 --> 00:35:05,680
you're not able to achieve all that but

890
00:35:11,430 --> 00:35:09,520
what i'm hoping to do is actually

891
00:35:13,030 --> 00:35:11,440
not necessarily every day but some days

892
00:35:15,190 --> 00:35:13,040
be able to videotape my workouts and

893
00:35:17,270 --> 00:35:15,200
share those on the web

894
00:35:18,790 --> 00:35:17,280
what i'd also like to see is the the

895
00:35:20,790 --> 00:35:18,800
posting of my workout so people can

896
00:35:22,950 --> 00:35:20,800
follow along what's mike doing today on

897
00:35:25,270 --> 00:35:22,960
on station is he is he doing squats is

898
00:35:28,310 --> 00:35:25,280
he running on the treadmill is he uh is

899
00:35:30,230 --> 00:35:28,320
he on that sevis um the the exercise

900
00:35:31,990 --> 00:35:30,240
bike but i'm going to turn it over to

901
00:35:33,510 --> 00:35:32,000
nicole and and she may be able to to

902
00:35:35,109 --> 00:35:33,520
give a little bit more of those details

903
00:35:36,950 --> 00:35:35,119
on and where you can find information

904
00:35:38,390 --> 00:35:36,960
for them sure so the train like an

905
00:35:40,470 --> 00:35:38,400
astronaut facebook page is going to be

906
00:35:41,990 --> 00:35:40,480
the primary platform for everything um

907
00:35:44,390 --> 00:35:42,000
you should start seeing it today already

908
00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:44,400
with an introductory video from mike

909
00:35:47,990 --> 00:35:45,920
which is just the tip of the iceberg but

910
00:35:49,510 --> 00:35:48,000
as he mentioned at least weekly we'll be

911
00:35:51,829 --> 00:35:49,520
posting some fresh things either from

912
00:35:53,670 --> 00:35:51,839
mike or even his his trainers or the

913
00:35:56,310 --> 00:35:53,680
space food lab experts talking about the

914
00:35:58,150 --> 00:35:56,320
nutrition so all those types of nuggets

915
00:35:59,030 --> 00:35:58,160
and behind the scenes tidbits will be on

916
00:36:01,109 --> 00:35:59,040
there

917
00:36:03,109 --> 00:36:01,119
all the way through through his mission

918
00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:03,119
and even most importantly once he's

919
00:36:06,870 --> 00:36:05,040
landed and returned which is actually

920
00:36:08,550 --> 00:36:06,880
when some of the most critical rehab and

921
00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:08,560
strength and conditioning happen so

922
00:36:11,589 --> 00:36:09,760
we're going to carry it all the way

923
00:36:13,270 --> 00:36:11,599
through the best way is for people to

924
00:36:15,910 --> 00:36:13,280
like that train like an astronaut um

925
00:36:17,829 --> 00:36:15,920
facebook page um like he said we're

926
00:36:19,270 --> 00:36:17,839
encouraging people to commit and post

927
00:36:21,430 --> 00:36:19,280
their own workouts and kind of share

928
00:36:23,030 --> 00:36:21,440

00:36:35,190 --> 00:36:32,480
sewing i'm with the houston chronicle

935
00:36:37,349 --> 00:36:35,200
and i want to ask about how much part of

936
00:36:40,150 --> 00:36:37,359
stretching is a part of your routine you

937
00:36:42,390 --> 00:36:40,160
talked about the treadmill and weights

938
00:36:43,750 --> 00:36:42,400
and everything but trust me

939
00:36:45,430 --> 00:36:43,760
that's a great question i'm finding

940
00:36:48,950 --> 00:36:45,440
stretching is becoming more part of my

941
00:36:52,390 --> 00:36:50,550
it used to be that i could just go out

942
00:36:54,790 --> 00:36:52,400
and exercise and

943
00:36:57,430 --> 00:36:54,800
and even after the the workout uh just

944
00:36:59,829 --> 00:36:57,440
you know go take a shower and go on um

945
00:37:01,990 --> 00:36:59,839
but i'm finding that as i've i've gotten

946
00:37:03,270 --> 00:37:02,000
older that uh you know the muscles the

947
00:37:05,030 --> 00:37:03,280
the body's behaving a little bit

948
00:37:07,190 --> 00:37:05,040
differently i need that extra time to

949
00:37:09,510 --> 00:37:07,200
stretch out and so i probably spend 15

950
00:37:12,470 --> 00:37:09,520
minutes in the mornings stretching

951
00:37:15,270 --> 00:37:12,480
before i do any of my workouts and

952
00:37:17,589 --> 00:37:15,280
and then also one of the ones that

953
00:37:19,670 --> 00:37:17,599
miss the most is that after workout

954
00:37:21,829 --> 00:37:19,680
stretch which is also critical but

955
00:37:23,190 --> 00:37:21,839
oftentimes i know we uh

956
00:37:24,630 --> 00:37:23,200
we're in a hurry we need to get to a

957
00:37:26,950 --> 00:37:24,640
meeting or we need to get to a class and

958
00:37:28,630 --> 00:37:26,960
we skip that and and uh need to try and

959
00:37:30,630 --> 00:37:28,640
and not do that so on station i'm not

960
00:37:31,670 --> 00:37:30,640
quite sure how i'll be able to stretch

961
00:37:33,750 --> 00:37:31,680
up there

962
00:37:35,990 --> 00:37:33,760
obviously without the gravity and

963
00:37:37,349 --> 00:37:36,000
floating around it there's going to be

964
00:37:42,150 --> 00:37:37,359
some

965
00:37:43,430 --> 00:37:42,160
going to have to sort that out

966
00:37:46,550 --> 00:37:43,440
okay i think we had another one right

967
00:37:50,069 --> 00:37:48,310
and talking about sports can you tell us

968
00:37:52,069 --> 00:37:50,079
what role you're going to play in

969
00:37:53,589 --> 00:37:52,079
bringing the olympic torch into orbit

970
00:37:55,510 --> 00:37:53,599
and back

971
00:37:57,750 --> 00:37:55,520
and what how you will be involved in

972
00:38:00,310 --> 00:37:57,760
doing that

973
00:38:02,550 --> 00:38:00,320
i appreciate it yes i have that

974
00:38:04,790 --> 00:38:02,560
okay i'm so story about olympic church

975
00:38:06,550 --> 00:38:04,800
is a part of our mission but you know

976
00:38:08,950 --> 00:38:06,560
the the next crew is supposed to bring

977
00:38:12,230 --> 00:38:08,960
it up to the station and we

978
00:38:13,990 --> 00:38:12,240
uh me and sergey we're going to take uh

979
00:38:15,349 --> 00:38:14,000
it with us out

980
00:38:18,390 --> 00:38:15,359
from this

981
00:38:21,109 --> 00:38:18,400
station uh to outer space to

982
00:38:23,430 --> 00:38:21,119
take the olympic torch with us

983
00:38:24,710 --> 00:38:23,440
during our first eva

984
00:38:29,750 --> 00:38:24,720
and

985
00:38:33,430 --> 00:38:29,760
downlink them to the grounds

986
00:38:34,230 --> 00:38:33,440
so maybe we will have some activity

987
00:38:35,589 --> 00:38:34,240
uh

988
00:38:41,430 --> 00:38:35,599
in

989
00:38:42,950 --> 00:38:41,440
uh also with olympic church so that's

990
00:38:45,589 --> 00:38:42,960
our plans

991
00:38:47,510 --> 00:38:45,599
and just to add to that so um

992
00:38:48,470 --> 00:38:47,520
the next crew will bring it up and then

993
00:38:49,910 --> 00:38:48,480
uh

994
00:38:50,950 --> 00:38:49,920
the interesting part of this is during

995
00:38:52,870 --> 00:38:50,960
that period we're actually going to have

996
00:38:53,589 --> 00:38:52,880
nine crew members on board the station

997
00:38:55,670 --> 00:38:53,599
so

998
00:38:57,910 --> 00:38:55,680
uh fyodor luca and karen are actually

999
00:38:59,349 --> 00:38:57,920
going to stick around or actually rick

1000
00:39:01,750 --> 00:38:59,359
koichi and

1001
00:39:04,470 --> 00:39:01,760
mikhail are moving up their launch so

1002
00:39:06,710 --> 00:39:04,480
that they can be there with uh fyodor

1003
00:39:08,230 --> 00:39:06,720
luca and karen and once the i think it's

1004
00:39:10,069 --> 00:39:08,240
about five days

1005
00:39:12,550 --> 00:39:10,079
that we'll be all together and then

1006
00:39:14,150 --> 00:39:12,560
they'll bring the torch back

1007
00:39:17,109 --> 00:39:14,160
so it'll it'll be up there for about

1008
00:39:19,510 --> 00:39:17,119
five days or so with us

1009
00:39:22,710 --> 00:39:19,520
hi i had a question about what you guys

1010
00:39:25,270 --> 00:39:22,720
did as kids that prepared you to become

1011
00:39:26,950 --> 00:39:25,280
astronauts and cosmonauts and how this

1012
00:39:30,710 --> 00:39:26,960
next generation what they should be

1013
00:39:32,550 --> 00:39:30,720
doing in order to become one and also

1014
00:39:34,950 --> 00:39:32,560
wanted to find out do you guys take

1015
00:39:39,190 --> 00:39:34,960
anything special up into space with you

1016
00:39:43,190 --> 00:39:41,270
so i'll uh yeah i'll i guess i'll start

1017
00:39:45,030 --> 00:39:43,200
off

1018
00:39:47,190 --> 00:39:45,040
the first part is my my definition of

1019
00:39:49,270 --> 00:39:47,200
kids is is changing as i've gotten older

1020
00:39:51,510 --> 00:39:49,280
too it seems like uh

1021
00:39:53,910 --> 00:39:51,520
when i was 20 kids was

1022
00:39:56,150 --> 00:39:53,920
a teenager and and now as i'm 40 i'd say

1023
00:39:57,349 --> 00:39:56,160
a 20 year old still a kid

1024
00:39:59,990 --> 00:39:57,359
so

1025
00:40:01,349 --> 00:40:00,000
what i did as a as a kid

1026
00:40:03,109 --> 00:40:01,359
you know obviously

1027
00:40:04,950 --> 00:40:03,119
i was very involved in in sports

1028
00:40:07,670 --> 00:40:04,960
athletics as well as school and all of

1029
00:40:10,230 --> 00:40:07,680
those things have helped get me to to

1030
00:40:11,829 --> 00:40:10,240
this point today

1031
00:40:13,270 --> 00:40:11,839
i think probably the most important part

1032
00:40:15,829 --> 00:40:13,280
is though in all of those things i was

1033
00:40:17,910 --> 00:40:15,839
very passionate about i was very excited

1034
00:40:20,230 --> 00:40:17,920
about doing those things and finding

1035
00:40:22,150 --> 00:40:20,240
something that you love to do is has has

1036
00:40:23,750 --> 00:40:22,160
been a part of that as i've as i've

1037
00:40:25,430 --> 00:40:23,760
grown up and that's probably one of the

1038
00:40:27,750 --> 00:40:25,440
big contributors for

1039
00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:27,760
for getting here

1040
00:40:32,069 --> 00:40:29,680
i agree with mike that

1041
00:40:33,190 --> 00:40:32,079
sport from my childhood

1042
00:40:35,910 --> 00:40:33,200
of course my

1043
00:40:40,230 --> 00:40:35,920
both parents are professional

1044
00:40:41,190 --> 00:40:40,240
sport people so with my sister we

1045
00:40:43,030 --> 00:40:41,200
were

1046
00:40:45,270 --> 00:40:43,040
growing up between

1047
00:40:48,069 --> 00:40:45,280
competitions with visiting different

1048
00:40:49,030 --> 00:40:48,079
countries and our parents were taking

1049
00:40:52,870 --> 00:40:49,040
kids

1050
00:40:53,990 --> 00:40:52,880
with them so sport a lot but also

1051
00:40:59,190 --> 00:40:54,000
studying

1052
00:41:01,349 --> 00:40:59,200
little kids especially for kids that was

1053
00:41:03,990 --> 00:41:01,359
dreaming about science was very

1054
00:41:06,950 --> 00:41:04,000
important so i was always participating

1055
00:41:10,309 --> 00:41:06,960
in different biological biochemistry

1056
00:41:14,390 --> 00:41:10,319
kids activities that we had in schools

1057
00:41:15,589 --> 00:41:14,400
so that was a respect and will to do

1058
00:41:17,670 --> 00:41:15,599
science

1059
00:41:18,950 --> 00:41:17,680
so that was maybe the most important

1060
00:41:21,430 --> 00:41:18,960
things that

1061
00:41:24,630 --> 00:41:21,440
helped

1062
00:41:27,190 --> 00:41:24,640
uh what about what we will bring

1063
00:41:30,870 --> 00:41:27,200
with us i don't know

1064
00:41:35,109 --> 00:41:30,880
we all are planning to take

1065
00:41:41,990 --> 00:41:36,230
it's

1066
00:41:46,950 --> 00:41:42,000
you but you can take your favorite

1067
00:41:50,470 --> 00:41:48,950
what important thing i brought from my

1068
00:41:52,790 --> 00:41:50,480
childhood

1069
00:41:55,910 --> 00:41:52,800
probably is to

1070
00:41:58,950 --> 00:41:55,920
to meet all new things uh

1071
00:42:01,430 --> 00:41:58,960
world with open eyes and open mind

1072
00:42:03,349 --> 00:42:01,440
so i try to keep the same approach for

1073
00:42:07,270 --> 00:42:03,359
everything and

1074
00:42:09,670 --> 00:42:07,280
you know i'm going to take uh our mascot

1075
00:42:11,829 --> 00:42:09,680
you know that's uh it's a black cat it's

1076
00:42:12,870 --> 00:42:11,839
supposed to fly third time into the

1077
00:42:14,550 --> 00:42:12,880
space

1078
00:42:18,309 --> 00:42:14,560
and

1079
00:42:20,309 --> 00:42:18,319
it named uh by my kids uh

1080
00:42:23,190 --> 00:42:20,319
jim lehrer it's uh

1081
00:42:24,309 --> 00:42:23,200
from dima and cleared the names of my

1082
00:42:28,150 --> 00:42:24,319
uh

1083
00:42:31,670 --> 00:42:28,160
children so that's what i'll have

1084
00:42:33,510 --> 00:42:31,680
up there with me the whole flight

1085
00:42:35,510 --> 00:42:33,520
and actually i'll just add to that so if

1086
00:42:37,510 --> 00:42:35,520
you do watch the launch and you get

1087
00:42:40,150 --> 00:42:37,520
those images inside the soyuz that's

1088
00:42:42,950 --> 00:42:40,160
what you'll see hanging down there

1089
00:42:44,710 --> 00:42:42,960
and and that's once we get up into space

1090
00:42:46,550 --> 00:42:44,720
and in the microgravity environment that

1091
00:42:48,550 --> 00:42:46,560
gives us an indication as well that that

1092
00:42:50,790 --> 00:42:48,560
we're there

1093
00:42:52,710 --> 00:42:50,800
officially named indicator

1094
00:42:54,710 --> 00:42:52,720
business yeah

1095
00:42:56,230 --> 00:42:54,720
also why it is cat

1096
00:42:59,430 --> 00:42:56,240
because

1097
00:43:02,309 --> 00:42:59,440
alex's last name caught off court is cat

1098
00:43:05,349 --> 00:43:03,430
okay with that we're going to have to

1099
00:43:06,630 --> 00:43:05,359
wrap it up thank you so much for

1100
00:43:08,069 --> 00:43:06,640
everybody for joining us all the great

1101
00:43:09,349 --> 00:43:08,079
