commander 222 00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:28,880 barry wilmore will conduct three 223 00:13:35,030 --> 00:13:31,600 spacewalks late january early february 224 00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:35,040 to begin this critical work to prepare 225 00:13:39,030 --> 00:13:36,880 for this reconfiguration what is the 226 00:13:40,470 --> 00:13:39,040 point of those three spacewalks how 227 00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:40,480 critical are they to the future of 228 00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:42,320 station operations 229 00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:44,399 the first two spacewalks we do will be 230 00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:47,440 getting ready to install a docking 231 00:13:50,470 --> 00:13:48,399 adapter 232 00:13:53,350 --> 00:13:50,480 that the future american 233 00:13:55,110 --> 00:13:53,360 manned vehicles will be able to dock to 234 00:14:12,150 --> 00:13:55,120 and the main goal there will be laying 235 00:14:15,590 --> 00:14:13,670 and the third space walk will be 236 00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:15,600 primarily getting ready 237 00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:18,240 a communications box called c2v2 that's 238 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:37,990 uh 239 00:14:41,350 --> 00:14:39,350 and then finally we're doing some 240 00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:41,360 mechanical work on the arm 241 00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:42,880 to keep it in good shape just like you 242 00:14:46,629 --> 00:14:44,480 need to change the oil in your car we 243 00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:46,639 need to work on the arm every few years 244 00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:48,399 to keep the station robotic arm in good 245 00:14:52,560 --> 00:15:03,670 is 246 00:15:07,189 --> 00:15:05,110 and finally these spacewalks are 247 00:15:08,710 --> 00:15:07,199 critical without these spacewalks uh we 248 00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:08,720 would not be able to move the station 249 00:15:15,030 --> 00:15:10,480 into the future so it's very important 250 00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:16,550 thank you very much 251 00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:23,110 hello this is oleg from roscosmos the 252 00:15:28,389 --> 00:15:25,760 question is for samantha christopheretti 253 00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:28,399 you were training in the united states 254 00:15:32,870 --> 00:15:31,120 and in russia what is the difference in 255 00:15:34,550 --> 00:15:32,880 the training for cosmonauts and 256 00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:34,560 astronauts 257 00:15:37,430 --> 00:15:35,519 because 258 00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:37,440 in russia in 259 00:15:41,110 --> 00:15:39,360 baikonur there are a lot of traditions 260 00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:41,120 is there something comparable in the 261 00:15:51,509 --> 00:15:48,949 i think there are there and 262 00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:51,519 the differences are very slight 263 00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:53,279 in the training for 264 00:15:57,269 --> 00:15:56,320 the crew members 265 00:15:59,110 --> 00:15:57,279 and 266 00:16:01,030 --> 00:15:59,120 the training is very 267 00:16:03,430 --> 00:16:01,040 thorough 268 00:16:06,949 --> 00:16:03,440 it's very important 269 00:16:11,110 --> 00:16:06,959 the main difference in the united states 270 00:16:13,749 --> 00:16:11,120 they use english and in this star city 271 00:16:15,269 --> 00:16:13,759 they speak russian 272 00:16:21,350 --> 00:16:15,279 and so 273 00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:24,629 you have your soyuz training 274 00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:25,920 sessions 275 00:16:31,110 --> 00:16:28,480 hands-on training practical training not 276 00:16:32,990 --> 00:16:31,120 just theoretical lectures 277 00:16:36,389 --> 00:16:33,000 for us 278 00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:36,399 non-russian crew members 279 00:16:42,150 --> 00:16:39,759 the difference is pretty big 280 00:16:43,749 --> 00:16:42,160 because you are training for 281 00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:43,759 uh the flight 282 00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:45,440 to the station and 283 00:16:49,350 --> 00:16:46,959 for the return 284 00:16:51,269 --> 00:16:49,360 but in the united states in japan and 285 00:16:53,509 --> 00:16:51,279 europe we are being trained for the 286 00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:53,519 operations on board the international 287 00:16:58,949 --> 00:16:56,880 space station as for the traditions it's 288 00:17:00,550 --> 00:16:58,959 better to ask 289 00:17:01,990 --> 00:17:00,560 terry 290 00:17:04,309 --> 00:17:02,000 and 291 00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:04,319 i think he will be 292 00:17:08,949 --> 00:17:06,640 able to 293 00:17:10,789 --> 00:17:08,959 answer this question better because i am 294 00:17:15,429 --> 00:17:10,799 sure they had some 295 00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:15,439 traditions during the shuttle times 296 00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:17,280 and let me answer the question in 297 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:30,310 um 298 00:17:30,320 --> 00:18:07,350 europe in canada 299 00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:21,110 my 300 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:23,750 ladies and gentlemen who has any other 301 00:18:32,789 --> 00:18:30,710 thank you uh anna giulia scofrey i 302 00:18:34,150 --> 00:18:32,799

that as an italian it is for me 306 00:18:42,150 --> 00:18:40,240 an honor and i feel very privileged to 307 00:18:44,549 --> 00:18:42,160 know that you will will be going on this 308 00:18:46,230 --> 00:18:44,559 mission to space so i would like to ask 309 00:18:49,669 --> 00:18:46,240 you how does it feel to be the first 310 00:18:51,909 --> 00:18:49,679 female astronaut of italy to go to space 311 00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:51,919 and also um could you tell us a little 312 00:18:55,909 --> 00:18:53,280 bit more about the experiment that you 313 00:19:00,710 --> 00:18:55,919 will be doing uh on uh the influence of 314 00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:01,590 um 315 00:19:05,750 --> 00:19:04,000 i think one needs to distinguish what 316 00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:05,760 the significance is for for something 317 00:19:09,830 --> 00:19:07,520 that you might do for the outside world 318 00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:09,840 that is watching for yourself i mean i i 319 00:19:13,430 --> 00:19:12,000 know for myself that there i have done 320 00:19:15,190 --> 00:19:13,440 nothing special to be the first italian 321 00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:15,200 moment to fly to space i just wanted to 322 00:19:18,870 --> 00:19:17,280 fly to space and i happened to be the 323 00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:18,880 first so there's 324 00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:20,880 you know if i had done everything the 325 00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:23,440 same if i if i had worked as hard and 326 00:19:27,909 --> 00:19:25,520 i've had had the chance of becoming an 327 00:19:29,350 --> 00:19:27,919 astronaut and if i had been the second 328 00:19:30,310 --> 00:19:29,360 well so what for me it would have been 329 00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:30,320 the same 330 00:19:34,789 --> 00:19:32,559 and i understand of course that this 331 00:19:35,590 --> 00:19:34,799 has and may well have a significance for 332 00:19:37,029 --> 00:19:35,600 for 333 00:19:38,789 --> 00:19:37,039 people who see this and if this can be 334 00:19:40,630 --> 00:19:38,799 an inspiration for for women in italy 335 00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:40,640 and in europe i'm obviously very happy 336 00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:46,870 thank you 337 00:19:49,830 --> 00:19:48,320 part of the questions about the dreams 338 00:19:51,110 --> 00:19:49,840 and that's gonna be really short there i 339 00:19:52,950 --> 00:19:51,120 don't think there is an experiment about 340 00:19:55,190 --> 00:19:52,960 dreams but there is an experiment of the 341 00:19:57,510 --> 00:19:55,200 italian space agency about sleep and the 342 00:20:00,390 --> 00:19:57,520 quality of sleep and 343 00:20:01,909 --> 00:20:00,400 the testing of a hypothesis about why 344 00:20:04,070 --> 00:20:01,919 sleep or the sleep quality in 345 00:20:05,990 --> 00:20:04,080 microgravity is not 346 00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:06,000 usually not as good as on earth so that 347 00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:08,240 is uh what it's going to be about and i 348 00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:09,919 believe very

in my training as an 482 00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:06,799 as an astronaut and in getting ready for 483 00:32:10,789 --> 00:32:09,120 the space flight and i 484 00:32:12,789 --> 00:32:10,799 um i really feel when you when you get 485 00:32:14,630 --> 00:32:12,799 to this point like on the day before the 486 00:32:16,230 --> 00:32:14,640 launch i think you realize that you're 487 00:32:18,310 --> 00:32:16,240 you're going to space with all of 488 00:32:19,590 --> 00:32:18,320 yourself with uh everything you've 489 00:32:21,669 --> 00:32:19,600 learned in your life with all of your 490 00:32:24,710 --> 00:32:21,679 experiences all of your background and 491 00:32:26,710 --> 00:32:24,720 for me of course a big part is um my my 492 00:32:27,909 --> 00:32:26,720 background as a military pilot uh even 493 00:32:29,029 --> 00:32:27,919 if i 494 00:32:31,669 --> 00:32:29,039 wasn't 495 00:32:33,269 --> 00:32:31,679 for a long time i didn't i didn't 496 00:32:35,029 --> 00:32:33,279 fly as a military pilot for a long time 497 00:32:37,269 --> 00:32:35,039 but even just simply the fact of having 498 00:32:39,430 --> 00:32:37,279 been trained as a combat pilot 499 00:32:41,029 --> 00:32:39,440 has given me a lot of skills and the 500 00:32:43,509 --> 00:32:41,039 right mindset and the attention to 501 00:32:45,430 --> 00:32:43,519 detail and even the confidence in myself 502 00:32:50,310 --> 00:32:45,440 that i think has helped me a lot in in 503 00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:52,310 my name is michina yana i'm from 504 00:32:57,750 --> 00:32:55,440 yaketerenburg

00:38:17,270 --> 00:38:15,109 so during the process of launch the most 602 00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:17,280 important thing for the crew 603 00:38:21,349 --> 00:38:19,200 is to monitor 604 00:38:23,829 --> 00:38:21,359 all the procedures and steps that that 605 00:38:27,190 --> 00:38:23,839 happen during launch so that we're ready 606 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,630 in case there's a problem 607 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:47,109 process 608 00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:49,430 immediately after that it's 609 00:38:53,190 --> 00:38:50,880 important to realize that all of a 610 00:38:54,710 --> 00:38:53,200 sudden you're in space you're weightless 611 00:38:56,310 --> 00:38:54,720 and you're in a completely alien 612 00:38:57,349 --> 00:38:56,320 environment and it happens immediately 613 00:38:59,430 --> 00:38:57,359 there's no 614 00:39:01,750 --> 00:38:59,440 transition period so you have to be 615 00:39:04,470 --> 00:39:01,760 ready for that immediate transition from 616 00:39:06,390 --> 00:39:04,480 gravity to weightlessness it's a it's a 617 00:39:07,829 --> 00:39:06,400 big change that you just 618 00:39:09,270 --> 00:39:07,839 have never experienced in your life 619 00:39:12,710 --> 00:39:09,280 before 620 00:39:14,790 --> 00:39:12,720 rob navy is nasa tv once again for terry 621 00:39:17,990 --> 00:39:14,800 a year from now the station is going to 622

over a decade and a half on this 628 00:39:33,750 --> 00:39:32,079 facility 629 00:39:36,230 --> 00:39:33,760 well first of all congratulations on the 630 00:39:39,190 --> 00:39:36,240 100th

00:39:51,750 --> 00:39:49,680 i think that 100 years from now 500 635 00:39:54,390 --> 00:39:51,760 years from now people will look back on 636 00:39:56,550 --> 00:39:54,400 this as the initial baby steps that we 637 00:39:58,069 --> 00:39:56,560 took going into the solar system 638 00:40:00,470 --> 00:39:58,079 and the same way that we look back on 639 00:40:02,310 --> 00:40:00,480 columbus and the other explorers 500 640 00:40:21,510 --> 00:40:02,320 years ago this is the way people will 641 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:27,750 um 642 00:40:30,309 --> 00:40:29,510 and and the second part of the question 643 00:40:32,230 --> 00:40:30,319 rob 644 00:40:34,069 --> 00:40:32,240 um as far as the accomplishments 645 00:40:36,950 --> 00:40:34,079 technologically the space station is 646 00:40:38,470 --> 00:40:36,960 amazing um in its size complexity and 647 00:40:40,710 --> 00:40:38,480 what it's able to do 648 00:40:41,670 --> 00:40:40,720 but more important than that 649 00:40:43,990 --> 00:40:41,680 the 650 00:40:45,910 --> 00:40:44,000 international relations that we've built 651 00:40:48,950 --> 00:40:45,920 and sustained and the cooperation that 652 00:40:51,270 --> 00:40:48,960 we've shown i think will ultimately be 653 00:40:52,710 --> 00:40:51,280 the best 654 00:40:53,829 --> 00:40:52,720 accomplishment it's the most amazing 655 00:40:55,750 --> 00:40:53,839 accomplishment of the international 656 00:40:59,589 --> 00:40:55,760 space station is our the friendship that 657 00:40:59,599 --> 00:41:23,510 done 658 00:41:29,670 --> 00:41:26,790
