1 00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:18,470 the main crew of the expedition to the 2 00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:19,920 iss 3 00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:39,110 so questions for you the very first one 4 00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:04,310 today is the international radio day 5 00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:07,190 so there should be no mistakes in 6 00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:08,080 calm 7 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,550 questions 8 00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:22,469 maxine could you say a few things about 9 00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:29,030 what do you feel and uh how is going to 10 00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:31,360 play out 11 00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:33,680 the career always trying to get an 12 00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:36,640 excellent grade it's our job 13 00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:38,240 it's the 14 00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:40,479 showcase of our abilities of our 15 00:01:47,429 --> 00:01:44,069 but 16 00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:47,439 everything happens sometimes we get good 17 00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:49,360 grades not excellent grades sometimes 18 00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:52,240 you have to redo the exam it's an exam 19 00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:54,240 it's a complex thing a very difficult 20 00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:58,079 thing but we're always ready to go in 21 00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:01,200 and perform what we're supposed to do 22 00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:02,640 and we do 23 00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:05,680 we are eager to get good grades with uh 24 00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:09,599 no comment we'll see in the evening 25 00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:12,560 for nasa tv for read wisely 26 00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:14,480 you're an experienced fighter planet 27 00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:16,319 pilot you've had thousands of hours of 28 00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:17,840 flight time on 29 00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:19,200 multiple different airplanes how would 30 00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:21,599 you compare your training now aboard the 31 00:02:26,790 --> 00:02:23,120 soyuz for what's going to be your very 32 00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:28,869 this is far more complicated overall 33 00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:31,599 it's it's two years of training to get 34 00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:33,599 to the end result of 35 00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:35,680 one launch for nine minutes 36 00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:38,319 and so when you really look at that each 37 00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,400 flight in a navy airplane is maybe a few 38 00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:42,720 hours uh but you do it routinely and 39 00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:44,080 this is just one shot and we have to 40 00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:45,519 know everything 41 00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:47,840 on our own basically with no help so 42 00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:51,440 it's two years well spent 43 00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:54,400 and for nasa and for alexander you could 44 00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:57,040 answer in both english and in pyramid 45 00:03:00,550 --> 00:02:58,879 how do you feel about taking your final 46 00:03:02,070 --> 00:03:00,560 exams for the soy for your very first 47 00:03:04,070 --> 00:03:02,080 soyuz flight 48 00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:04,080 well today is the last day of my 49 00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:06,560 training that lasted five and a half 50 00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:08,400 years so i don't think there's 51 00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:10,080 many more words that i need to describe 52 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:31,750 yeah what is the let's 53 00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:32,789 how 54 00:03:38,309 --> 00:03:35,280 fulfilled is going to be a work in orbit 55 00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:38,319 how many tasks you are going to have how 56 00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:46,229 it's going to be pretty intensive i'd 57 00:03:49,589 --> 00:03:47,920 say that each flight 58 00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:49,599 to the station 59 00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:52,720 is different from any other flight 60 00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:53,760 and 61 00:03:58,830 --> 00:03:55,920 events are different 62 00:04:00,630 --> 00:03:58,840 but we do have an extensive scientific 63 00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:00,640 activity we have 64 00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:03,120 three us spacewalks three russian space 65 00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:05,519 walks 66 00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:08,159 progress vehicles will be docking 67 00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:11,360 new us vehicles will be docking orbital 68 00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:13,120 and spacex 69 00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:15,599 we have the atv vehicle 70 00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:17,040 from europe 71 00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:23,350 is there anything new and something 72 00:04:26,830 --> 00:04:25,040 appealing to you 73 00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:26,840 among the experiments you're going to 74 00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:29,520 conduct as for the experiments i think 75 00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:30,880 the best one 76 00:04:35,189 --> 00:04:32,960 for me will be watching my two crew 77 00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:35,199 members when they get there 78 00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:37,120 into space this will be a really 79 00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:40,400 psychologist experiment the best one 80 00:04:49,510 --> 00:04:42,880 thank you very much 81 00:05:04,550 --> 00:04:51,430 like this 82 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:19,029 what about the non-traditional way 83 00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:49,990 uh 84 00:05:50,000 --> 00:06:05,590 okay 85 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:19,990 your camera 86 00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:22,150 need to talk about this probleated by 87 00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:23,199 color 88 00:07:11,270 --> 00:06:29,990 this will be great 89 00:07:14,830 --> 00:07:12,790 state board 90 00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:14,840 the main crew to the international space 91 00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:18,160 station is ready for the integrated 92 00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:27,510 he's got a lucky hand 93 00:08:11,270 --> 00:07:28,960 we'll take a look 94 00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:12,950 absolutely prepared absolutely prepared 95 00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:15,120 it's been a long uh but enjoyable two 96 00:08:18,629 --> 00:08:16,240 years for us 97 00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:18,639 and uh today and tomorrow uh really our 98 00:08:36,790 --> 00:08:20,720 final tests uh before we head down to 99 00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:39,750 uh we do have some some books that are 100 00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:41,440 that are already up there from previous 101 00:08:45,269 --> 00:08:43,599 crews that have launched uh but really i 102 00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:45,279 think the thing we're most likely 103 00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:46,880 alex and i are most looking forward to 104 00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:48,880 the camera and the view down to earth i 105 00:08:51,829 --> 00:08:50,080 think that's where we'll spend most of 106 00:08:52,790 --> 00:08:51,839 our free time 107 00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:52,800 yeah i have 108 00:08:57,750 --> 00:08:55,279 memory items from friends and family 109 00:09:11,990 --> 00:08:57,760 with me to give me an anchor to so i 110 00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:13,750 well this is my first flight i think the 111 00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:15,279 most difficult thing is going to be 112 00:09:19,829 --> 00:09:17,279 learning how to float and keep 113 00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:19,839 everything with you and not 114 00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:21,920 let not all of your tools and your spare 115 00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:24,000 parts kind of fly away from you i think 116 00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:25,760 max has given us a lot of good advice on 117 00:09:29,509 --> 00:09:28,240 that but we don't use our legs really so 118 00:09:33,430 --> 00:09:29,519 it's going to be a whole new world to 119 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:40,070 to blog 120 00:09:44,949 --> 00:09:42,550 i think my colleagues are going to 121 00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:44,959 twitter 122 00:09:50,070 --> 00:09:47,440 we'll see probably i'll be sending down 123 00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:50,080 some short messages 124 00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:52,480 of course 125 00:09:59,670 --> 00:09:54,080 uh they'll be here this weekend my 126 00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:01,430 oh of course yeah we'll spend the 127 00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:08,470 max 128 00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:09,760 each 129 00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:12,320 group of people has unofficial roles 130 00:10:16,230 --> 00:10:14,640 somebody is the mindful person somebody 131 00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:16,240 is a gesture 132 00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:18,399 how are those roles spread out 133 00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:20,160 within your career 134 00:10:27,350 --> 00:10:21,519 he's the leader 135 00:10:31,190 --> 00:10:29,110 official and unofficial 136 00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:31,200 it's difficult to say because situations 137 00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:33,200 are different 138 00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:37,680 in my opinion our crew is well balanced 139 00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:40,560 and uh chest as it is difficult to say 140 00:10:43,750 --> 00:10:42,240 what's more important in your body the 141 00:10:46,389 --> 00:10:43,760 head or the hands 142 00:10:47,670 --> 00:10:46,399 or the lungs or the legs i think in the 143 00:10:51,269 --> 00:10:47,680 same vein 144 00:10:53,910 --> 00:10:51,279 within our crew sometimes uh reed is the 145 00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:53,920 leader if he knows best if he 146 00:10:58,389 --> 00:10:56,959 has more experience sometimes it's alex 147 00:10:59,750 --> 00:10:58,399 who is the leader 148 00:11:02,870 --> 00:10:59,760 because 149 00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:02,880 he's got a worth of experience 150 00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:04,480 for example 151 00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:05,600 in 152 00:11:23,829 --> 00:11:21,680 our crew we don't really have a 153 00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:23,839 well-pronounced leader like say in the 154 00:11:29,430 --> 00:11:26,320 military i'm the leader so follow me so 155 00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:29,440 i think we're very flexible 156 00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:31,519 flexible 157 00:11:36,150 --> 00:11:33,920 or emotional somebody is a gesture 158 00:11:39,670 --> 00:11:36,160 somebody is the mindful a very 159 00:11:43,590 --> 00:11:41,350 something like this 160 00:11:45,910 --> 00:11:43,600 i don't really know i'd say that 161 00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:45,920 the cold-blooded the mindful person is 162 00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:48,160 alex and reid and i are just military 163 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,949 more questions 164 00:11:59,750 --> 00:11:58,069 is this upcoming flight is going to be 165 00:12:02,069 --> 00:11:59,760 markedly different from the other 166 00:12:04,069 --> 00:12:02,079 flights you know each flight is 167 00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:04,079 outstanding its own way 168 00:12:09,030 --> 00:12:06,320 because they're all test flights and 169 00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:09,040 nobody rule this out 170 00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:12,480 and second each flight brings about uh 171 00:12:18,870 --> 00:12:16,320 things which are unique and 172 00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:18,880 happen probably once in the entire space 173 00:12:23,269 --> 00:12:20,880 history we expect everything to be 174 00:12:26,389 --> 00:12:23,279 smooth to be nominal that everything 175 00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:26,399 will be operational that we won't have 176 00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:29,600 many of normal situations but no one can 177 00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:31,040 predict 178 00:12:34,870 --> 00:12:33,760 but our flight is uh pretty intensive 179 00:12:37,269 --> 00:12:34,880 and 180 00:12:39,190 --> 00:12:37,279 very well cut out 181 00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:39,200 and we have lots of experiments so it's 182 00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:40,320 probably 183 00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:42,240 of a high degree 184 00:12:47,190 --> 00:12:44,399 and besides we've got space walks we've 185 00:12:49,509 --> 00:12:47,200 got three u.s space works planned 186 00:12:50,829 --> 00:12:49,519 and the russian segment is going to have 187 00:12:52,389 --> 00:12:50,839 three space 188 00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:52,399 walks 189 00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:54,800 to outer space lots of equipment is 190 00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:56,480 going to come 191 00:13:02,069 --> 00:12:58,320 such as 192 00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:02,079 new us

that can occur 220 00:15:36,389 --> 00:15:33,920 during an integrated exam 221 00:15:49,509 --> 00:15:36,399 have been thoroughly worked through you 222 00:15:54,790 --> 00:15:52,150 what's the most difficult if you occur 223 00:15:57,829 --> 00:15:54,800 enough normal situation that is 224 00:16:00,310 --> 00:15:57,839 say on the brink of life and dead 225 00:16:04,310 --> 00:16:00,320 all of the cooperation items have been 226 00:16:07,430 --> 00:16:04,320 worked through and worked out properly 227 00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:07,440 our cooperation is great and unless 228 00:16:12,310 --> 00:16:10,000 something comes up because of the 229 00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:12,320 mock-up trainer 230 00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:14,560 then uh we'll look forward to our 231 00:16:19,749 --> 00:16:17,519 instructors because uh the train is just 232 00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:19,759 a machine that can fail 233 00:16:29,829 --> 00:16:21,440 but we'll be relying on our cooperation 234 00:16:35,110 --> 00:16:32,470 if this is indeed 235 00:16:38,470 --> 00:16:35,120 so complex how much time would you spend 236 00:16:41,749 --> 00:16:38,480 on studying all of those issues i cannot 237 00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:41,759 really say that some exam issues or 238 00:16:45,350 --> 00:16:42,959 questions 239 00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:45,360 are hard some are easy 240 00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:47,759 we started our training 241 00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:49,680 a year and a half ago so that's enough 242 00:16:54,710 --> 00:16:52,000 time to get ready for the flight 243 00:16:56,470 --> 00:16:54,720 do you know each other 244 00:16:57,509 --> 00:16:56,480 did you get a chance 245 00:17:00,870 --> 00:16:57,519 to 246 00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:02,870 in english know each other very well 247 00:17:07,429 --> 00:17:04,559 over the last two years 248 00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:07,439 uh we work together very often but we 249 00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:10,240 also do things outside of work together 250 00:17:14,309

00:18:05,110 --> 00:18:01,280 you have a different crew you're going 267 00:18:10,070 --> 00:18:08,549 well yes i was a backup remember two 268 00:18:11,350 --> 00:18:10,080 times but 269 00:18:14,150 --> 00:18:11,360 i'm still 270 00:18:15,990 --> 00:18:14,160 slightly nervous because uh this is a 271 00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:16,000 new crew and this is 272 00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:16,960 another 273 00:18:22,789 --> 00:18:20,400 step and i have like a younger brother 274 00:18:25,909 --> 00:18:22,799 say samantha who is flat engineer number 275 00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:29,029 so my main task is to prepare the 276 00:18:31,909 --> 00:18:30,080 vehicle 277 00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:31,919 and to 278 00:18:36,549 --> 00:18:34,320 follow the systems uh to monitor the 279 00:18:39,029 --> 00:18:36,559 operation of the system so we're going 280 00:18:49,029 --> 00:18:39,039 to help each other it's not that simple 281 00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:52,549 well the fact that you are going to be 282 00:18:57,350 --> 00:18:54,960 here you have males and females 283 00:18:59,590 --> 00:18:57,360 government to add a certain difficulty 284 00:19:03,029 --> 00:18:59,600 to a long duration space flight there is 285 00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:03,039 no division into female or male 286 00:19:22,950 --> 00:19:22,150 what about some female type behavior 287 00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:22,960 like 288 00:19:27,110 --> 00:19:25,120 can you wake up and say i don't want to 289 00:19:30,390 --> 00:19:27,120 do it now 290 00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:30,400 or i'm a bit cranky so i'm going to cry 291

00:19:41,590 --> 00:19:39,360 maybe at school when the 295 00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:41,600 kids are small but we are grown-ups and
