i understand

52
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:27,120
this is probably

53
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:30,239
a personal expectation you're asking for

54
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:32,080
because we can talk about official

55
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:39,910
my

00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:42,480
personal expectations are the upcoming

the space station three times already

61
00:02:58,149 --> 00:02:56,640
but uh each time was only for a very

62
00:02:59,589 --> 00:02:58,159
short duration only two weeks to help

63
00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:59,599
build the space station so i'm most

64
00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:01,440
looking forward to on this

65
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:03,680

and we saw that you had an olympic fire

80
00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:30,400
torch

81
00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:32,080

is planned to be done and how you're

okay i'll take the floor first

87
00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:51,909
you know

88
00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:52,800
the

89
00:04:58,070 --> 00:04:55,120
fire torches right here

90
00:04:59,189 --> 00:04:58,080
next to us on the table

91
00:05:01,590 --> 00:04:59,199
and

92
00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:01,600
we actually brought it specifically it's

93
00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:03,440
preparation because we knew that

94
00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:05,039
there'll be questions

95
00:05:09,270 --> 00:05:07,520
we wanted to talk about it and show it

96
00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:09,280
to you

97
00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:12,800
as far as the upcoming program related

98
00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:14,880
to the

99
00:05:21,189 --> 00:05:18,000
fire relay there is a special script

100
00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:21,199
there are a lot of events associated

101
00:05:28,230 --> 00:05:25,280
with the fire torch transfer

102
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:28,240
etc everything looks beautiful

103
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:30,320
and very symbolic

104
00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:32,240
i don't want to

105
00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:35,680
narrate all the events because you

106
00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:38,479
will see that and that will be a live

107
00:05:47,029 --> 00:05:44,230
with feelings

108
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:50,469
every person is trying to do it in an

109
00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:52,400
informal way

110
00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:56,000
and as far as our sentiments related to

111
00:06:02,070 --> 00:05:58,639
that it's difficult to express those we

112
00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:02,080
can talk about thoughts

113
00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:05,039
but not about feelings

114
00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:07,360
well i wanted to

115
00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:12,870
it's really interesting and it's a great

116
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:14,560
pleasure for us that

117
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:17,120
we were the ones chosen

118
00:06:21,909 --> 00:06:20,720
to participate in it

119
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:21,919
and

120
00:06:26,469 --> 00:06:25,199
this is a great idea of the olympic

121
00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:26,479
games

122
00:06:29,909 --> 00:06:27,759
and

123
00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:29,919
the whole olympic movement we see a

124
00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:32,000
parallel between the olympic movement

125
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:33,120
and the

126
00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:34,960
space exploration

127
00:06:41,029 --> 00:06:37,840
that involves everybody

128
00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:41,039
maybe somebody wants to add something

129
00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:41,919
well

130
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:43,440
we were told

131
00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:44,800
that the

132
00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:47,199
fire torch will be delivered to baikon

133
00:06:53,189 --> 00:06:49,840
on monday which means yesterday so this

134
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:53,199
is not the original torch you have

135
00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:54,880
well

136
00:07:00,870 --> 00:06:59,680
let me maybe redirect your question

137
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:00,880
the thing is

138
00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:03,120
there's not only one torch that

139
00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:06,000
participates in this relay

140
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:08,960
there are quite a number of them

141
00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:10,000
and

142
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:12,240
as an engineer i want you to say this is

143
00:07:17,510 --> 00:07:14,400
just a means a tool

144
00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:17,520
but not one unique object

145
00:07:24,070 --> 00:07:21,360
therefore each torch is an olympic torch

146
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,080
but it's not the only one

147
00:07:28,629 --> 00:07:26,319
and i have my own believe it or not

148
00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:28,639
because i participated in this relay in

149
00:07:32,309 --> 00:07:29,680
the past

150
00:07:34,309 --> 00:07:32,319
so i have it could you please tell us in

151
00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:34,319
a more detail

152
00:07:36,469 --> 00:07:35,440
because

153
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:36,479
there were

154
00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:38,720
questions because other cosmonauts were

155
00:07:43,350 --> 00:07:41,360
writing and participating in the relay

156
00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:43,360
so what were they carrying

157
00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:46,319
one when this relay march started

158
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:52,629
there were

159
00:07:56,629 --> 00:07:54,400
many participants

160
00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:56,639
in fact i

161
00:08:01,350 --> 00:08:00,479
ran in my hometown city of colomna

162
00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:01,360
and

163
00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:04,240
so i carried one there

164
00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:06,080
in order to

165
00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:09,520
understand i wanted to say that there is

166
00:08:19,830 --> 00:08:10,879
a

167
00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:20,869
so

168
00:08:23,909 --> 00:08:22,879
it was used

169
00:08:26,469 --> 00:08:23,919
to

170
00:08:27,670 --> 00:08:26,479
train the space walk

171
00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:27,680
with this

172
00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:30,319
olympic torch

173
00:08:36,070 --> 00:08:32,800
so could you please

174
00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:36,080
let us know that on the space station on

175
00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:47,750
yes so this is also symbolic we will

176
00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:49,360
deliver the

177
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:50,480
fire

178
00:08:56,070 --> 00:08:52,000
onto the

179
00:08:59,430 --> 00:08:56,080
iss and then the

180
00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:00,470
go

181
00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:02,480
outside for a spacewalk and then the

182
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:04,720
next crew will deliver it back on the

183
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:07,600
ground so we'll have our own relay in

184
00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:11,750
yes it's

185
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:13,440
actually a very

186
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:14,480
tight

187
00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:17,600
timeline so we'll be

188
00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:20,160
with the fire for quite a while on the

189
00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:23,360
space station so and probably will be

190
00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:25,760
involved in other events

191
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:28,800
associated with the olympic games

192
00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:30,560
so i understand the olympic games

193
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:32,480
related questions are done

194
00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:34,240
so let's look at something else ria

195
00:09:38,470 --> 00:09:36,560
novosti alexander

196
00:09:41,030 --> 00:09:38,480
i have a question for the japanese crew

197
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:41,040
member koichi wakata

198
00:09:45,590 --> 00:09:43,360
first of all i wanted to congratulate

199
00:09:48,389 --> 00:09:45,600
you as the first japanese astronaut who

200
00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:48,399
will become the commander of the iss

201
00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:49,360
crew

202
00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:53,200
and that's really a remarkable event

203
00:09:58,310 --> 00:09:55,920
and i wanted to ask you what

204
00:10:01,030 --> 00:09:58,320
which japanese traditions will be

205
00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:01,040
included or maybe you'll introduce

206
00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:04,399
onboard the iss as a commander maybe

207
00:10:09,430 --> 00:10:06,320
you'll bring something with you maybe a

208
00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:09,440
small bottle of sake and maybe you'll be

209
00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:13,120
heating it up on the olympic flame or

210
00:10:19,829 --> 00:10:16,959
anything else could you please elaborate

211
00:10:21,990 --> 00:10:19,839
on some unusual

212
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:22,000
uh japanese experiments that you will be

213
00:10:26,550 --> 00:10:24,720
involved in as well

214
00:10:30,069 --> 00:10:26,560
okay uh

215
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:30,079
there is no specific tradition uh

216
00:10:33,829 --> 00:10:31,680
that i'm planning to do as a commander

217
00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:33,839
of the space station but the uh

218
00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:36,399
communication is the key to the success

219
00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:38,399
of space flight so

220
00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:40,800
i would like to make sure that

221
00:10:45,829 --> 00:10:43,200
we have good the teamwork communication

222
00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:45,839
between the crew members and also with

223
00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:47,760
the ground support

224
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:49,680
and also i have a lot of good the

225
00:10:56,069 --> 00:10:52,720
japanese space food that was launched on

226
00:10:58,790 --> 00:10:56,079
a japanese cargo ship htv so

227
00:11:03,829 --> 00:10:58,800
i look forward to sharing my good

228
00:11:09,350 --> 00:11:07,509
and if i may i'd like to elaborate

229
00:11:11,509 --> 00:11:09,360
koichi is right

230
00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:11,519
saying by saying that

231
00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:13,360
it's not necessary to bring anything

232
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:15,839
specific on board the iss

233
00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:19,760
but also i wanted to remind all of us

234
00:11:24,389 --> 00:11:21,120
and ourselves

235
00:11:27,670 --> 00:11:24,399
that our international space station

236
00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:27,680
is not only a unique technical creation

237
00:11:33,350 --> 00:11:30,640
but it's also a unique laboratory

238
00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:33,360
intercultural into psychological

239
00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:36,320
communication wise the way we talk to

240
00:11:40,230 --> 00:11:37,920
each other the way we communicate the

241
00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:40,240
way we try to learn from each other

242
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:41,360
including

243
00:11:53,509 --> 00:11:49,430
the most effective method

244
00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:53,519
of exchange is doing something together

245
00:11:58,629 --> 00:11:55,920
and that's exactly what we are planning

246
00:12:00,710 --> 00:11:58,639
to do onboard the iss and i hope will be

247
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:00,720
successful in terms of creating

248
00:12:07,030 --> 00:12:05,430
and i also

249
00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:07,040
would like to mention

250
00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:08,000
one

251
00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:10,959
expedition crew will arrive on board the

252
00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:12,000
iss

253
00:12:15,269 --> 00:12:14,320
or we'll have nasa

254
00:12:18,829 --> 00:12:15,279
premier

255
00:12:28,069 --> 00:12:18,839
rs rsa and jax

256
00:12:32,629 --> 00:12:29,750
allow me to ask

257
00:12:50,310 --> 00:12:32,639
a question in japanese so one answer in

258
00:12:50,320 --> 00:13:05,190
foreign

259
00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:08,629
what are your feelings

260
00:13:12,389 --> 00:13:11,200
and sentiments

261
00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:12,399
being

262
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:29,030
my

263
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:31,110
we had the chance to work together on

264
00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:38,389
and

265
00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:40,560
i believe that the

266
00:14:45,189 --> 00:14:41,920
foundation

267
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:45,199
of a successful mission is communication

268
00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:47,120
and training and we're a very

269
00:14:51,509 --> 00:14:49,920
experienced crew

270
00:14:52,389 --> 00:14:51,519
and i'm sure

271
00:14:55,990 --> 00:14:52,399
that

272
00:15:01,269 --> 00:14:59,110
in an integrated way as an integrated

273
00:15:03,189 --> 00:15:01,279
team

274
00:15:04,870 --> 00:15:03,199
and we will

275
00:15:08,150 --> 00:15:04,880
use the

276
00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:08,160
great qualities of each other

277
00:15:21,829 --> 00:15:19,670
that by using such an excellent russian

278
00:15:25,269 --> 00:15:21,839
language that mikhail is

279
00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:27,509
okay another question please

280
00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:28,959
i'm going to

281
00:15:59,670 --> 00:15:56,310
looking at you behind the glass of the

282
00:16:01,509 --> 00:15:59,680
monitors so what has happened during the

283
00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:01,519
exam which

284
00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:03,199
glass do you mean

285
00:16:10,790 --> 00:16:06,320
the monitor which exam

286
00:16:16,629 --> 00:16:12,710
you know

287
00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:16,639
the training process is

288
00:16:21,509 --> 00:16:18,480
well developed it has been in

289
00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:21,519
development for many years and so

290
00:16:27,030 --> 00:16:23,519
the every crew

291
00:16:27,990 --> 00:16:27,040
undergoes a series of exams

292
00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:28,000
of course

293
00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:29,199
the prime

294
00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:30,240
crew

295
00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:33,600
passed the exams better than we had

296
00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:34,959
because they're the prime they had

297
00:16:39,430 --> 00:16:37,680
better training

298
00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:39,440
and the backup

299
00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:42,870
should

300
00:16:47,829 --> 00:16:46,240
take the exams in such a way that the

301
00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:47,839
prime crew wouldn't think that the

302
00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:51,120
backup crew can come and replace them

303
00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:52,800
so everybody

304
00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:53,759
took

305
00:16:57,910 --> 00:16:55,600
exams but the prime crew passed the

306
00:17:02,790 --> 00:16:57,920
exams much better than we did

307
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:08,150
vladimir

308
00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:10,630
let us know if you plan to perform any

309
00:17:15,590 --> 00:17:13,679
evas and what the activities you'll be

310
00:17:18,949 --> 00:17:15,600
doing

311
00:17:21,590 --> 00:17:18,959
the answer is very simple

312
00:17:25,350 --> 00:17:21,600
a per the current

313
00:17:29,110 --> 00:17:25,360
program there is no eva planned

314
00:17:30,830 --> 00:17:29,120
although who knows what might happen

315
00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:30,840
but

316
00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:34,000
officially i can say that because

317
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:36,799
i actually had to go twice outside

318
00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:38,400
performing eva

319
00:17:43,590 --> 00:17:40,080
without

320
00:17:45,430 --> 00:17:43,600
prior planning but just the situation

321
00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:45,440
was such that

322
00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:48,320
we had to do it then not only we didn't

323
00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:50,080
have a training for that on the ground

324
00:17:54,870 --> 00:17:52,960
specifically for that ava but

325
00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:54,880
we didn't know what to

326
00:17:58,950 --> 00:17:57,200
expect well i also wanted to draw your

327
00:18:01,190 --> 00:17:58,960
attention that

328
00:18:03,909 --> 00:18:01,200
this upcoming expedition crew is

329
00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:03,919
probably one of the most experienced one

330
00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:08,080
uh mikhail turin went uh

331
00:18:16,230 --> 00:18:11,280
spacewalk several times so he's

332
00:18:19,909 --> 00:18:17,430
could you

333
00:18:22,630 --> 00:18:19,919
please let us know about what we call a

334
00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:22,640
tuning of a spaced vehicle and also any

335
00:18:35,190 --> 00:18:24,320
specific decorations you're going to

336
00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:38,710
this is probably one of the components

337
00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:52,630
so some of the elements

338
00:18:58,470 --> 00:18:56,080
that make part of the whole picture

339
00:19:01,190 --> 00:18:58,480
actually are not publicized yet

340
00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:01,200
so the public would not lose the

341
00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:03,120
interest but will we see it of course

342
00:19:07,990 --> 00:19:04,880
you will see it on tv we'll show you

343
00:19:11,430 --> 00:19:08,000
everything from the iss

344
00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:11,440
it's highly symbolic

345
00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:12,320
the

346
00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:17,350
that

347
00:19:21,590 --> 00:19:19,760
and the 50 year anniversary of the

348
00:19:22,789 --> 00:19:21,600
first

349
00:19:24,549 --> 00:19:22,799
flight

350
00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:24,559
of a human space

351
00:19:28,789 --> 00:19:27,360
coincided with your stay on the iss and

352
00:19:30,390 --> 00:19:28,799
you used a lot of

353
00:19:36,150 --> 00:19:30,400
symbology

354
00:19:41,830 --> 00:19:38,630
another question

355
00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:44,070
is your country

356
00:19:52,230 --> 00:19:49,510
happy that you will be participating

357
00:19:54,630 --> 00:19:52,240
with the olympic flame activity or is it

358
00:19:56,470 --> 00:19:54,640
just only our country russia is

359
00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:56,480
so excited

360
00:20:05,270 --> 00:19:57,840
since i've been out of the country for

361
00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:07,430
but i do know that all the folks back in

362
00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:09,440
the united states will be watching the

363
00:20:25,350 --> 00:20:11,200
launch closely and they're very excited

364
00:20:29,029 --> 00:20:27,029
it's the same in japan

365
00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:29,039
but there will be a lot of

366
00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:31,120
i think a tv program that will be

367
00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:33,760
broadcasting our launch so hopefully we

368
00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:35,600
will be able to show this beautiful

369
00:20:52,470 --> 00:20:50,070
another question is for the crew

370
00:20:55,029 --> 00:20:52,480
what are you going to do on orbit in

371
00:20:57,430 --> 00:20:55,039
your free time

372
00:20:59,350 --> 00:20:57,440
maybe you'll do some specific sports

373
00:21:00,630 --> 00:20:59,360
because sports is a very important part

374
00:21:05,669 --> 00:21:00,640
of a day

375
00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:08,149
you know i'll be frank with you

376
00:21:12,630 --> 00:21:11,039
we don't have any specific plans for

377
00:21:13,510 --> 00:21:12,640
sports

378
00:21:18,149 --> 00:21:13,520
or

379
00:21:21,350 --> 00:21:18,159
on the ground

380
00:21:24,310 --> 00:21:21,360
these are long duration flights

381
00:21:26,070 --> 00:21:24,320
so if it were a two-week mission then we

382
00:21:27,190 --> 00:21:26,080
could plan but how can you plan every

383
00:21:29,110 --> 00:21:27,200
day for

384
00:21:31,110 --> 00:21:29,120
six months so as

385
00:21:34,549 --> 00:21:31,120
in everyday life we have our own

386
00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:37,350
what about you personally

387
00:21:41,830 --> 00:21:38,880
i like

388
00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:41,840
communicating with people

389
00:21:48,630 --> 00:21:43,520
because a human

390
00:21:54,470 --> 00:21:51,270
and you it's really fathomless you can

391
00:21:55,750 --> 00:21:54,480
learn about any humans

392
00:21:56,710 --> 00:21:55,760
for a long time

393
00:21:59,669 --> 00:21:56,720
and

394
00:22:00,789 --> 00:21:59,679
i want maybe i'll open a little mystery

395
00:22:02,549 --> 00:22:00,799
but we

396
00:22:04,710 --> 00:22:02,559
have a guitar

397
00:22:07,110 --> 00:22:04,720
on board this station and

398
00:22:10,310 --> 00:22:07,120
michael is a good player

399
00:22:13,190 --> 00:22:10,320
well we'll find things to do in orbit

400
00:22:17,430 --> 00:22:13,200
if we have free time

401
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:25,510
which songs do you sing

402
00:22:29,190 --> 00:22:26,549
you know

403
00:22:32,630 --> 00:22:29,200
depends on our mood

404
00:22:36,310 --> 00:22:32,640
i'm not a performer

405
00:22:37,909 --> 00:22:36,320
and i don't have a repetoire

406
00:22:40,710 --> 00:22:37,919
but do you

407
00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:40,720
seeing russian once or international

408
00:22:45,190 --> 00:22:43,520
different ones depending on our own mode

409
00:22:47,830 --> 00:22:45,200
on my own mood

410
00:22:49,350 --> 00:22:47,840
i don't do it as a performer for a show

411
00:22:51,750 --> 00:22:49,360
because it's for me

412
00:22:54,070 --> 00:22:51,760
depending on my mood it's difficult to

413
00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:54,080
say

414
00:22:59,190 --> 00:22:57,120
but do you have any songs you can play

415
00:23:01,190 --> 00:22:59,200
you can sing

416
00:23:05,669 --> 00:23:01,200
together as an international team yes we

417
00:23:09,590 --> 00:23:07,110
what are you planning to do in your free

418
00:23:11,430 --> 00:23:09,600
time much of my free time will be spent

419
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:11,440
looking out the window at the beautiful

420
00:23:27,430 --> 00:23:25,669
but i'm sure that during the olympics

421
00:23:30,149 --> 00:23:27,440
we'll be spending some time hopefully

422
00:23:42,470 --> 00:23:30,159
watching some of the events on orbit and

423
00:23:47,269 --> 00:23:45,110
yes i will be doing very similar things

424
00:23:49,990 --> 00:23:47,279
but to what eric said that i'll be

425
00:23:52,630 --> 00:23:50,000
taking a lot of pictures of the earth

426
00:23:54,230 --> 00:23:52,640
and as a matter of fact in a few weeks

427
00:23:58,230 --> 00:23:54,240
at the end of this november there will

428
00:24:00,149 --> 00:23:58,240
be a comet ison that will be passing by

429
00:24:02,149 --> 00:24:00,159
earth and also the sun

430
00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:02,159
so i look forward to taking good

431
00:24:07,110 --> 00:24:03,600
pictures of

432
00:24:10,390 --> 00:24:07,120
combat ison also japan launched a

433
00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:10,400
high definition tv camera of 4k camera

434
00:24:16,390 --> 00:24:13,520
on the konatori spacecraft in august so

435
00:24:18,549 --> 00:24:16,400
i will do my best to utilize this

436
00:24:20,630 --> 00:24:18,559
high-definition camera's capacity

437
00:24:21,909 --> 00:24:20,640
to take beautiful pictures of common

438
00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:21,919
iceland that's what i would like to

439
00:24:31,029 --> 00:24:28,310
maybe we'll ask another question

440
00:24:34,230 --> 00:24:31,039
you will be celebrating new year during

441
00:24:36,149 --> 00:24:34,240
your expedition flight

442
00:24:38,549 --> 00:24:36,159
and given that you have such an

443
00:24:45,430 --> 00:24:38,559
international presence how many times

444
00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:47,990
are you planning to bring some gifts for

445
00:24:53,590 --> 00:24:49,840
the crew that is waiting for you in

446
00:24:58,789 --> 00:24:56,149
so many questions and one

447
00:25:00,870 --> 00:24:58,799
let me try to untangle it and

448
00:25:03,350 --> 00:25:00,880
answer one by one

449
00:25:04,470 --> 00:25:03,360
i think we'll be celebrating new year 16

450
00:25:06,950 --> 00:25:04,480
times

451
00:25:11,029 --> 00:25:06,960
because that's how nature works

452
00:25:14,390 --> 00:25:13,430
incredible opportunities

453
00:25:15,510 --> 00:25:14,400
not

454
00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:15,520
only

455
00:25:28,549 --> 00:25:16,559
to

456
00:25:30,310 --> 00:25:28,559
opportunity

457
00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:30,320
gifts of course we're going to carry

458
00:25:33,269 --> 00:25:31,200
them

459
00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:33,279
we actually came up with a few ideas but

460
00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:35,120
we're not going to voice them

461
00:25:39,990 --> 00:25:38,080
because a new year gift

462
00:25:42,230 --> 00:25:40,000
is a bit of a surprise and it should

463
00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:42,240
stay this way

464
00:25:47,269 --> 00:25:45,679
so have i answered all your questions

465
00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:47,279
and what about costumes they'll have

466
00:25:50,630 --> 00:25:48,880
their own costumes and we understand you

467
00:25:52,710 --> 00:25:50,640
have a christmas tree

468
00:25:54,310 --> 00:25:52,720
of course as any

469
00:25:56,470 --> 00:25:54,320
home

470
00:25:58,470 --> 00:25:56,480
space station is not just this

471
00:26:00,870 --> 00:25:58,480
scientific laboratory but it's also a

472
00:26:02,149 --> 00:26:00,880
home to people who stay there and live

473
00:26:06,230 --> 00:26:02,159
and work

474
00:26:09,190 --> 00:26:06,240
and we have opportunities to celebrate

475
00:26:13,510 --> 00:26:09,200
some holidays and things like that

476
00:26:15,430 --> 00:26:13,520
therefore as in any normal household we

477
00:26:16,789 --> 00:26:15,440
have a christmas tree we have christmas

478
00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:16,799
decorations

479
00:26:26,630 --> 00:26:24,549
all alexander

480
00:26:27,830 --> 00:26:26,640
one question

481
00:26:29,669 --> 00:26:27,840
uh this is

482
00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:29,679
a traditional

483
00:26:35,190 --> 00:26:31,760
uh question about the

484
00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:35,200
gravity indicator we know each crew

485
00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:36,480
brings

486
00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:39,840
a toy that shows gravity so what are you

487
00:26:43,669 --> 00:26:41,520
planning to carry

488
00:26:50,549 --> 00:26:43,679
and second are you planning to take some

489
00:26:55,350 --> 00:26:52,390
which events

490
00:26:57,750 --> 00:26:55,360
maybe the opening of the olympic games

491
00:26:59,029 --> 00:26:57,760
of course naturally

492
00:27:00,789 --> 00:26:59,039
if

493
00:27:05,269 --> 00:27:00,799
the

494
00:27:09,110 --> 00:27:05,279
allows us to do that because

495
00:27:10,870 --> 00:27:09,120
it's not easy to take a clear photo of

496
00:27:12,070 --> 00:27:10,880
things on the ground

497
00:27:14,950 --> 00:27:12,080
when

498
00:27:15,830 --> 00:27:14,960
the weather conditions are not ideal but

499
00:27:19,269 --> 00:27:15,840
will

500
00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:19,279
make every effort to take those photos

501
00:27:22,710 --> 00:27:20,960
of the opening of the olympic games and

502
00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:22,720
that's actually of great interest to us

503
00:27:26,630 --> 00:27:25,360
as well as humans to see

504
00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:26,640
what's

505
00:27:33,269 --> 00:27:30,720
happening and to show it to other people

506
00:27:35,190 --> 00:27:33,279
as far as the gravity

507
00:27:36,870 --> 00:27:35,200
indicator maybe

508
00:27:38,149 --> 00:27:36,880
it'll be a boring

509
00:27:39,350 --> 00:27:38,159
answer

510
00:27:42,710 --> 00:27:39,360
for you

511
00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:42,720
i look at it as a utilitarian object

512
00:27:46,950 --> 00:27:43,840
just to

513
00:27:49,269 --> 00:27:46,960
indicate gravity but it's not a specific

514
00:27:50,549 --> 00:27:49,279
symbol or anything else so just be a

515
00:27:51,990 --> 00:27:50,559
little object

516
00:27:53,269 --> 00:27:52,000
without any

517
00:27:54,470 --> 00:27:53,279
deep meaning

518
00:27:56,549 --> 00:27:54,480
and

519
00:27:58,630 --> 00:27:56,559
it'll just be an object that'll be

520
00:28:00,149 --> 00:27:58,640
gravitating

521
00:28:03,909 --> 00:28:00,159
do you know which one i don't know i

522
00:28:08,470 --> 00:28:05,830
maybe the crew members have something

523
00:28:12,230 --> 00:28:08,480
well we'll discuss it

524
00:28:29,029 --> 00:28:12,240
yes we have just a few days left before

525
00:28:33,029 --> 00:28:30,389
a question to

526
00:28:35,590 --> 00:28:33,039
mr wakata

527
00:28:40,549 --> 00:28:35,600
because for the japanese nation it's a

528
00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:43,590
tell

529
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,110
in us

530
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,750
detail

531
00:28:52,149 --> 00:28:49,430
about your

532
00:28:57,269 --> 00:28:54,789
tasks in space

533
00:29:01,590 --> 00:29:00,230
we probably think you'll have a chance

534
00:29:04,630 --> 00:29:01,600
to see the

535
00:29:06,389 --> 00:29:04,640
olympic games from orbit

536
00:29:11,110 --> 00:29:06,399
could you please tell us how you plan to

537
00:29:16,070 --> 00:29:13,830
now the answer in english

538
00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:16,080
i hope we can see the activities in

539
00:29:21,029 --> 00:29:17,840
sochi and

540
00:29:23,590 --> 00:29:21,039
the fact that the olympic torch is

541
00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:23,600
going to fly to the space station

542
00:29:34,070 --> 00:29:24,320
is

543
00:29:36,870 --> 00:29:34,080
the world get together in one place and

544
00:29:38,149 --> 00:29:36,880
then through sports we expand or extend

545
00:29:41,830 --> 00:29:38,159
our friendship

546
00:29:43,590 --> 00:29:41,840
and iss is also a place where people

547
00:29:46,389 --> 00:29:43,600
from all over the world

548
00:29:49,190 --> 00:29:46,399
get together in space and build a

549
00:29:51,830 --> 00:29:49,200
outstanding facility to expand our

550
00:29:54,870 --> 00:29:51,840
frontier uh in space so it really

551
00:29:58,470 --> 00:29:54,880
matches the vision of

552
00:30:01,430 --> 00:29:58,480
space exploration so i'm very glad that

553
00:30:04,149 --> 00:30:01,440
i am participating in this olympic torch

554
00:30:07,590 --> 00:30:04,159
relay and i hope we can take some good

555
00:30:09,990 --> 00:30:07,600
pictures of sochi from the space station

556
00:30:11,590 --> 00:30:10,000
for nasa tv for rick mastracchio this is

557
00:30:13,269 --> 00:30:11,600
going to be your first long duration

558
00:30:15,110 --> 00:30:13,279
mission to the space station

559
00:30:16,789 --> 00:30:15,120
specifically what scientific and

560
00:30:19,510 --> 00:30:16,799
research experiments do you think you're

561
00:30:21,750 --> 00:30:19,520
looking forward to performing the most

562
00:30:31,510 --> 00:30:21,760
we train on many different types of

563
00:30:35,990 --> 00:30:33,990
some of the experiments we are the

564
00:30:37,590 --> 00:30:36,000
we are the experiment our bodies are the

565
00:30:39,110 --> 00:30:37,600
experiment some experiments were

566
00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:39,120
actually working on the experiments for

567
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:52,789
experimental materials

568
00:30:56,549 --> 00:30:55,029
i don't have any specific favorites but

569
00:30:58,230 --> 00:30:56,559
i i really am going to enjoy the

570
00:30:59,669 --> 00:30:58,240
experiments where i will be working

571
00:31:01,190 --> 00:30:59,679
closely with the scientists on the

572
00:31:03,350 --> 00:31:01,200
ground to further their research i

573
00:31:05,110 --> 00:31:03,360
really look forward to working with them

574
00:31:07,830 --> 00:31:05,120
and again for nasa tv this one's

575
00:31:09,909 --> 00:31:07,840
actually for the uh two uh first time

576
00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:09,919
flying back up crew members for reid

577
00:31:14,549 --> 00:31:12,880
wiseman and for alex gerst uh you're

578
00:31:16,789 --> 00:31:14,559
less than a half a year away from your

579
00:31:18,470 --> 00:31:16,799
mission to the space station and for

580
00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:18,480
both of you how are you feeling about

581
00:31:22,310 --> 00:31:20,320
your training as you get closer to your

582
00:31:27,669 --> 00:31:22,320
first flight and for alex if you could

583
00:31:31,750 --> 00:31:29,190

584
00:31:33,029 --> 00:31:31,760
nearly two years two and a half years

585
00:31:35,430 --> 00:31:33,039
and

586
00:31:36,710 --> 00:31:35,440
that's been some of the best

587
00:31:40,310 --> 00:31:36,720
professional

588
00:31:42,630 --> 00:31:40,320
days and training of my life to date so

589
00:31:44,789 --> 00:31:42,640
really every day is like a new adventure

590
00:31:46,870 --> 00:31:44,799
the next day is better than the previous

591
00:31:49,430 --> 00:31:46,880
and here we stand six months from our

592
00:31:50,710 --> 00:31:49,440
first flight together and i think that's

593
00:31:54,470 --> 00:31:50,720
the adventure that's the one we're

594
00:31:56,950 --> 00:31:54,480
waiting for and we're excited

595
00:31:59,830 --> 00:31:56,960

596
00:32:02,149 --> 00:31:59,840

597
00:32:04,549 --> 00:32:02,159
interesting time for me as a somebody

598
00:32:06,950 --> 00:32:04,559
who's going through that first time so

599
00:32:09,269 --> 00:32:06,960
one of the interesting most interesting

600
00:32:10,789 --> 00:32:09,279
things that i noticed was how we came

601
00:32:12,870 --> 00:32:10,799
together in the beginning as as

602
00:32:14,710 --> 00:32:12,880
colleagues as acquaintances we started

603
00:32:17,190 --> 00:32:14,720
working together and then became a

604
00:32:19,669 --> 00:32:17,200
really good group of friends and uh that

605
00:32:21,430 --> 00:32:19,679

607
00:32:25,830 --> 00:32:23,519
team flies into space

608
00:32:27,430 --> 00:32:25,840
