00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:30,720 would imagine um 40 00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:32,799 samantha tell us 41 00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:34,960 is it possible to paint a picture of 42 00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:37,439 where you are precisely now and what do 43 00:01:46,469 --> 00:01:44,789 you know i don't have awareness right 44 00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:46,479 now of where we are in this precise 45 00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:48,960 moment but i can tell you that these 46 00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:51,360 are very special days for us 47 00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:53,920 sometime this morning we have seen our 48 00:01:59,109 --> 00:01:57,280 last sunset for several days 49 00:02:02,310 --> 00:01:59,119 you probably heard that normally here on 50 00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:02,320 board the space station we see 15 to 16 51 00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:05,040 sunsets and sunrises every day but now 52 00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:07,119 we're going into a very special period 53 00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:09,440 in which we basically track along what 54 00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:11,360 we call the terminator which is the line 55 00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:13,200 between daylight and 56 00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:15,200 night on on the ground and so we're 57 00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:17,680 basically for four or five days we'll be 58 00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:19,440 in this permanent twilight condition 59 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:21,040 where it's never night and it's never 60 00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:22,800 really day and it makes for for 61 00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:25,360 beautiful views out the window 62 00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:27,680 what does that feel like experiencing 63 00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:29,440 something like that that you know we can 64 00:02:34,949 --> 00:02:31,440 only imagine about when we're down here 65 00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:37,190 honestly it is very difficult to put 66 00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:39,760 into words because the colors are so 67 00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:41,680 vivid i mean to look and see 68 00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:43,760 mountaintops mountain ranges the entire 69 00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:45,280 himalayan mountains including mount 70 00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:46,800 everest and all the other beauty of 71 00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:49,120 those mountains and the sierra nevadas 72 00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:50,959 in the united states the alps in europe 73 00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:53,040 i mean it's just mesmerizing the colors 74 00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:54,560 of the waters the various colors the 75 00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:55,920 greens that are in some of the waters 76 00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:58,239 the aqua the deep blue 77 00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:59,920 it's hard to put into words other than 78 00:03:02,790 --> 00:03:01,440 other than to say it's just absolutely 79 00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:02,800

00:04:50,469 --> 00:04:48,560 far the hardest job i kid you not it is 128 00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:50,479 the hardest job and that's what samantha 129 00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:52,320 will be doing for us 130 00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:54,880 okay a few a few quick fire questions 131 00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:56,479 for you uh from our listeners in 132 00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:58,720 particular who you know forgive us we 133 00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:00,479 don't know much about how you guys 134 00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:02,400 operate on a day-to-day basis so maybe 135 00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:04,560 you can give us an insight first of all 136 00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:14,469 first of all i have to say i sleep great 137 00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:16,400 up here it's the best sleep i've ever 138 00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:18,160 had in my life i've had it up here on 139 00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:20,560 the space station um we basically sleep 140 00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:22,400 floating well it depends uh people have 141 00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:24,560 different preferences but personally i 142 00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:27,039 just love to sleep in a sleeping bag we 143 00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:29,120 all have our sleeping bag and i just 144 00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:31,520 love to leave it floating each of us has 145 00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:34,240 a little cabin it's about the size of of 146 00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:36,080 the old phone boots for those who are 147 00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:38,479 old enough to remember those 148 00:05:42,469 --> 00:05:40,320 and and i just let myself float in there 149 00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:42,479 and i don't float far and i guess i 150 00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:44,400 probably bounce off the walls a few 151 00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:46,479 times during the night but it's a very 152 00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:48,880 gentle bouncing it does not wake me up 153 00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:51,120 at all and that feeling of just having 154 00:05:55,430 --> 00:05:53,360 my body completely relaxed and no 155 00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:55,440 pressure on any side of my body is just 156 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:05,029 and what do you eat 157 00:06:08,469 --> 00:06:06,870 absolutely

three times what it 161 00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:15,840 is on earth and they actually cut back 162 00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:17,360 our rations a little bit because we have 163 00:06:21,110 -->

my 212 00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:17,120 new year's resolution is to try to pay 213 00:08:22,309 --> 00:08:18,960 better attention to every step of every 214 00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:22,319 procedure so we get it all right 215 00:08:32,709 --> 00:08:30,710 yeah i was trying to think and uh 216 00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:32,719 i guess i have i have been here on board 217 00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:35,599 for uh for about a month now and uh i 218 00:08:38,709 --> 00:08:37,039 guess there are some things that at the 219 00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:38,719 beginning you kind of put off because 220 00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:40,000 you've just arrived and you need to 221 00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:42,000 adjust and you'll need to learn how to 222 00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:44,560 live as a as an extraterrestrial life 223 00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:46,080 form here on board of the international 224 00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:49,200 space station um and so i guess one of 225 00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:50,959 the things that i have been putting off 226 00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:52,560 and that i definitely want to start is 227 00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:54,399 to do a little bit more video 228 00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:57,040 documenting of what i um have been doing 229 00:09:01,670 --> 00:08:59,279 or i'm doing here on board so that i can 230 00:09:03,269 --> 00:09:01,680 share it uh with the public i've been 231 00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:03,279 doing quite a bit of photos but i 232 00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:04,480 haven't been 233 00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:07,040 into video a lot yet and that's probably 234 00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:09,920 my my new year's resolution right now 235 00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:11,600 well thanks uh you know you guys both 236 00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:13,360 have a spacex launch coming up in a week 237 00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:14,640 or so and i'm sure you'll find a few 238 00:09:18,630 --> 00:09:17,040 belated christmas presents on board but 239 00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:18,640 more important this is the first u.s 240 00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:20,399 cargo ship to reach the station since 241 00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:22,880 the antares failure back in october 242 00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:25,120 uh butch how important is it for spacex 243 00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:27,120 to maintain a steady cadence of supply 244 00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:29,680 ship uh launches since obviously orbital 245 00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:31,600 sciences antares is probably down for 246 00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:39,750 well spacex certainly has a a does a lot 247 00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:42,000 for us uh every time they come up they 248 00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:43,920 bring a great deal of cargo obviously 249 00:09:47,110 --> 00:09:45,680 and a great deal of experiments in 250 00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:47,120 science that we're 251 00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:48,959 very keen on accomplishing 252 00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:51,120 as we you know every single day we also 253 00:09:55,509 --> 00:09:52,640 have russian progress vehicles that 254 00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:55,519 bring us cargo so spacex does their part 255 00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:57,519 the russians do their part eventually 256 00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:59,200 orbital get it back to 257 00:10:01,670 --> 00:10:00,399 launching again and they'll be uh 258 00:10:02,829 --> 00:10:01,680 supplying us and so we're looking 259 00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:02,839 forward to those 260 00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:05,360 days for both of you you know scott 261 00:10:08,630 --> 00:10:06,880 kelly and mikhail kornienko are 262 00:10:10,150 --> 00:10:08,640 preparing for launch here in march or so 263 00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:10,160 to begin a year-long stay aboard the 264 00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:12,399 station but based on your experience 265 00:10:16,150 --> 00:10:14,240 what do you see as the major challenges 266 00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:16,160 those guys will face for a year-long 267 00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:23,590 i think the obvious obvious one is this 268 00:10:26,790 --> 00:10:24,720 that will definitely be this is a 269 00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:26,800 marathon six months is a long time and a 270 00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:28,320 year is even more so so it's like a 271 00:10:31,910 --> 00:10:29,839 double marathon and you got to pace 272 00:10:33,350 --> 00:10:31,920 yourself i mean you could literally you 273 00:10:34,949 --> 00:10:33,360 know work yourself to death there's so 274 00:10:36,630 --> 00:10:34,959 much you can work 24 hours a day and 275 00:10:37,910 --> 00:10:36,640 never get everything done so you 276 00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:37,920 definitely have to think ahead pace 277 00:10:40,470 --> 00:10:39,120 yourself maybe a couple of three-day 278 00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:40,480 weekends thrown in there will be nice 279 00:10:43,750 --> 00:10:42,480 for those guys that'll be up here for so 280 00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:43,760 long 281 00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:45,200 samantha what are your thoughts about a 282 00:10:48,389 --> 00:10:47,120 year-long mission i think you know most 283 00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:48,399 people on the ground would think being 284 00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:50,160 cooped up in a confined space for that 285 00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:52,560 long would be difficult regardless of 286 00:11:02,069 --> 00:11:00,310 no i i don't think so i wouldn't see 287 00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:02,079 that as a problem the space station is 288 00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:04,640 actually um an amazing i like to call it 289 00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:08,000 the humanities outpost in space and 290 00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:10,000 um and i hope that conveys a little bit 291 00:11:14,949 --> 00:11:11,760 the fact that it's a it's a it's a 292 00:11:17,269 --> 00:11:14,959 complex big grand huge facility and we 293 00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:17,279 have plenty of space up here so um you 294 00:11:21,350 --> 00:11:19,200 know we're obviously very respectful of 295 00:11:24,069 --> 00:11:21,360 each other's private space and there is 296 00:11:26,389 --> 00:11:24,079 enough space here to to to find your own 297 00:11:27,910 --> 00:11:26,399 your own private space if you need it so 298 00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:27,920 i wouldn't be concerned about that what 299 00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:28,720 i 300 00:11:41,509 --> 00:11:39,040 a long term and of course uh 301 00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:41,519 uh i think that's not only gonna there's 302 00:11:45,430 --> 00:11:43,120 there has only been one person who has 303 00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:45,440 been in space that long so far uh so we 304 00:11:48,949 --> 00:11:47,120 don't have a lot of experience uh yet 305 00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:48,959 and that's the whole point um and i 306 00:11:52,550 --> 00:11:50,880 think it it would be uh it might be a 307 00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:52,560 challenge for them to to really stay at 308 00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:54,000 the top of their health for a whole year 309 00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:55,360 and so that's my best wish for them just 310 00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:57,200 to stay healthy 311 00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:58,480 samantha you've been in orbit for a 312 00:12:02,230 --> 00:11:59,920 little over one month now i was 313 00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:02,240 wondering how reality compares with your 314 00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:04,480 pre-launch expectations in other words 315 00:12:12,629 --> 00:12:06,000 is there anything about the experience 316 00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:14,470 um 317 00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:16,240 you know lots of people tell you about 318 00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:18,240 how wonderful it is to view earth from 319 00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:20,480 the window and it is and that has been a 320 00:12:23,430 --> 00:12:22,000 confirmation i would not say that that 321 00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:23,440 has been a surprise because i was 322 00:12:27,110 --> 00:12:24,399 expecting 323 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:27,120 it to be magnificent i guess what i did 324 00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:31,440 not expect is how much i enjoy floating 325 00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:32,720 i mean 326 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:33,600 i 327 00:12:44,949 --> 00:12:42,720 my my body completely relax to be able 328 00:12:47,670 --> 00:12:44,959 to have dinner on the ceiling if i want 329 00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:47,680 and work on a wall or a bounce off 330 00:12:51,910 --> 00:12:49,440 you know another wall 331 00:12:54,550 --> 00:12:51,920 so i never expected that to be so 332 00:12:56,230 --> 00:12:54,560 incredibly enjoyable 333 00:12:57,910 --> 00:12:56,240 you know i noticed in your biography you 334 00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:57,920 said you enjoyed yoga and i never 335 00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:59,200 thought about it before but i was 336 00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:00,720 wondering if that was even possible in 337 00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:07,269 well i haven't tried yet but i i think 338 00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:08,959 the whole principle of yoga is you know 339 00:13:12,629 --> 00:13:10,240 is about your body weight and your 340 00:13:15,110 --> 00:13:12,639 alignment and really align your body 341 00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:15,120 along gravity so probably in space is 342 00:13:18,629 --> 00:13:16,800 kind of difficult but i would be really 343 00:13:20,069 --> 00:13:18,639 interested to hear the opinion and maybe 344 00:13:22,629 --> 00:13:20,079 the experience of somebody who's more 345 00:13:25,509 --> 00:13:22,639 experienced than me in yoga it'd be 346 00:13:27,350 --> 00:13:25,519 interesting to see what they think 347 00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:27,360 all right guys i got to wrap it up butch 348 00:13:29,910 -->
