00:00:07,829 --> 00:00:05,759
check

5
00:00:15,270 --> 00:00:13,990
hey p hello we have you loud and clear

6
00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:15,280
welcome aboard the international space

7
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:16,480
station

8
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:18,480
well hello everybody and a happy new

9
00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:20,800
year to you all i'm speaking to you from

10
00:00:23,509 --> 00:00:22,560
the kennedy space center in florida

11
00:00:25,189 --> 00:00:23,519
today

12
00:00:26,790 --> 00:00:25,199
uh it looks like you're gonna have to

13
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:26,800
wait a little longer for your next

14
00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:28,800
grocery delivery i'm wondering if you

15
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:30,960
were watching the launch countdown live

16
00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:32,960
this morning and how disappointed are

17
00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:39,910
oh yes we were watching and certainly

18
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:41,280
there's a little bit of disappointment

19
00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:42,719
because it had

20
00:00:45,029 --> 00:00:43,920
you know fresh fruit and those type of

21
00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:45,039
things that we're all interested in

22
00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:46,719
getting and other things of course but

23
00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:48,559
uh they'll get off the ground here in a

24
00:00:53,189 --> 00:00:51,440
couple of days and it'll all be great

25
00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:53,199
i'm assuming you all have christmas

26
00:01:01,750 --> 00:00:55,600
presents on board the dragon

27
00:01:05,590 --> 00:01:03,830
yes we do have christmas presents on

28
00:01:06,870 --> 00:01:05,600
board but i don't know what they are

29
00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:06,880
because we have to wait to open them up

30
00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:10,159
so i'll let you know here in a few days

31
00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:13,680
well wonderful um i'm for each of you i

32
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:15,759
suppose i i'd like to hear your thoughts

33
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:18,320
on the upcoming one-year mission um by

34
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:20,880
scott kelly and mikhail kornienko

35
00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:22,960
how difficult do you think it'll be for

36
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:25,439
them to spend a solid year in space and

37
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:36,069
well terry and i have arrived here about

38
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:38,720
oh it's probably six weeks now

39
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:40,720
and uh i can tell you i've loved every

40
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:42,720
moment of it so far i'm i'm not

41
00:01:48,069 --> 00:01:44,720
necessarily uh looking forward to go

42
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:48,079
back um so from my perspective right now

43
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:48,960
um

44
00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:50,240
i think it's great to spend a lot of

45
00:01:54,389 --> 00:01:52,320
time up here um of course as time

46
00:01:56,870 --> 00:01:54,399
progresses it might become challenging

47
00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:56,880
to be away from home and and of course i

48
00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:59,360
i'm i wish them strength in that sense

49
00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:01,119
and of course i wish them to to be able

50
00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:02,960
to stay healthy for for a whole year i

51
00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:04,719
think that's going to be a an important

52
00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:06,399
challenge and that's why one of the

53
00:02:09,109 --> 00:02:08,239
reasons why they're doing that to see

54
00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:09,119
how

55
00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:10,720
the human body reacts to such a

56
00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:12,560
prolonged exposure to microgravity and

57
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:18,309
perhaps i think one of the biggest

58
00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:24,150
go ahead a little delay there we keep

59
00:02:26,949 --> 00:02:25,599
stepping on each other a little bit yes

60
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:26,959
i was just going to say that i think one

61
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:29,280
of the biggest challenges is maintaining

62
00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:31,040
a focus because

63
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:34,160
every single step of every single task

64
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:36,080
is very important everything that we do

65
00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:37,760
and it's a wide variety of things that

66
00:02:43,110 --> 00:02:41,040
we do and to maintain that mental focus

67
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:43,120
for six months is difficult and and to

68
00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:45,040
do it for an entire year i've just got

69
00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:46,239
to think it's got to be even more

70
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:48,480
difficult because what we do is very

71
00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:49,760
important you don't want to make any

72
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:51,599
mistakes mistakes are inevitable we're

73
00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:53,680
human so you want to minimize those so

74
00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:54,959
maintaining that

75
00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:57,040
mental excuse me mental focus i think

76
00:02:59,830 --> 00:02:58,400
will be challenging so maybe a couple of

77
00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:59,840
three day weekends those type of things

78
00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:01,200
to let their brain kind of relax a

79
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:07,830
well thank you for for that ins site we

80
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:09,200
learned at

81
00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:11,680
the the news conference yesterday that

82
00:03:16,949 --> 00:03:14,879
nasa and the other station partners are

83
00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:16,959
hoping to fly maybe 12 one-year crew

84
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:19,120
members all together to get more sample

85
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:22,560
subjects for the life science people

86
00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:24,720
what's your take on how easy it might be

87
00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:27,440
to wrestle up more crewmates

88
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:29,360
willing to spend a solid year in space

89
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:31,680
and would you guys be interested

90
00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:40,470
the

91
00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:42,239
doing a one-year flight is actually a

92
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:44,159
pretty significant challenge for our

93
00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:45,760
office because of

94
00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:46,959
the number of flight assignments that

95
00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:48,400
are available is pretty small and so

96
00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:51,360
that takes up two flight assignments but

97
00:03:54,869 --> 00:03:52,319
i'm sure that we'll have enough

98
00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:54,879
volunteers that won't be a problem

99
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:56,319
and of course the science folks know

100
00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:57,760
what science objectives they're looking

101
00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:59,120
for and they can

102
00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:00,799
determine what's necessary what we need

103
00:04:05,429 --> 00:04:02,319
to do

104
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:05,439
for those flights in the future

105
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:07,760
well how how necessary do you think it

106
00:04:19,749 --> 00:04:10,560
is to to do these when your stints if if

107
00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:21,909
it's um

108
00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:24,400
i think the the question for mars is how

109
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:25,680
we're gonna get there if we take a

110
00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:27,280
conventional rocket it takes about six

111
00:04:29,749 --> 00:04:28,639
to nine months to get there before

112
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:29,759
you're on the surface and the same

113
00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:31,600
amount of time to get back and if you

114
00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:33,360
take uh electric propulsion if we

115
00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:34,880
develop a new system you could get there

116
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:36,960
in only a couple months so the the

117
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:39,040
question for mars is really

118
00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:40,160
how are we going to get there when it

119
00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:42,880
comes to the propulsion and

120
00:04:45,749 --> 00:04:44,400
but i want to echo what samantha said

121
00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:45,759
earlier we've been here this is our

122
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:47,759
seventh week now in space and i'm

123
00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:49,199
already thinking man there's not enough

124
00:04:51,830 --> 00:04:50,639
time there's a lot more

125
00:04:53,030 --> 00:04:51,840
that i want to do i don't know if i'm

126
00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:53,040
gonna have enough time to get it done in

127
00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:54,479
six months so

128
00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:56,400
and i know scott real well he's he's

129
00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:57,680
going to handle it he's going to handle

130
00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:59,440
it very well and my goal on expedition

131
00:05:03,189 --> 00:05:01,280
43 is to make sure we get him off on the

132
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:03,199
on the right foot for his one-year

133
00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:05,440
flight and uh i i'm sure he's going to

134
00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:07,520
do great

135
00:05:12,150 --> 00:05:09,919
uh for captain christa ferretti

136
00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:12,160
my question for you specifically is how

137
00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:14,880
is the space station coffee

138
00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:16,800
and do you still expect to see the

139
00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:19,199
italian espresso machine fly up on your

140
00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:27,830
well the space station coffee is not bad

141
00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:29,280
um it could be it could be a lot of

142
00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:30,960
worse um

143
00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:33,680
so i'm not complaining in any way but uh

144
00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:36,000
i am indeed looking forward to uh to the

145
00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:38,240
espresso machine and

146
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:39,840
of course there is some some challenges

147
00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:42,560
with the resupply now as we know but

148
00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:44,800
i have heard good news and uh there is

149
00:05:49,510 --> 00:05:46,720
actually still a pretty good likelihood

150
00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:49,520
that it will be up here before i leave

151
00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:51,600
and so i'm really looking forward to try

152
00:05:59,430 --> 00:05:57,590
well wonderful i'm assuming that it

153
00:06:01,510 --> 00:05:59,440
might be on the follow-on dragon mission

154
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:01,520
then or might a progress take it up at

155
00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:08,870
well as far as i understand progress is

156
00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:11,039
not an option but there is an open

157
00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:13,440
option for the next dragon so that is my

158
00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:15,199
hope right now

159
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:17,680
and and have you brought up any other

160
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:20,240
italian food specialties to enjoy with

161
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:21,680
your crew or maybe you've already

162
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:23,520
gobbled all that up for the new year's

163
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:31,430
i have brought up some food that was

164
00:06:37,749 --> 00:06:34,000
made special especially based on my

165
00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:37,759
preferences i did not focus so much on

166
00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:40,960
traditional italian cuisine but i um i

167
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:43,759
focused on recipes that is um that

168
00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:46,000
employ a very very nutritious

169
00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:47,600
ingredients i thought it was very

170
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:49,440
important to bring up food that would

171
00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:51,280
help me to stay healthy in this very

172
00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:53,360
challenging environment and so i have

173
00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:55,919
some pouches with the ready-made meals

174
00:06:59,749 --> 00:06:57,919
that are just just very very good for

175
00:07:01,510 --> 00:06:59,759
your health

176
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:01,520
and just to give you an example i have a

177
00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:03,360
quinoa salad with

178
00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:04,479
mackerel

179
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:06,000
and i have

180
00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:10,000
some curry chicken with mushrooms and

181
00:07:14,870 --> 00:07:12,800
some some muesli with plenty of

182
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:14,880
you know really healthy nuts and fruits

183
00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:16,800
for breakfast and so it's it's been

184
00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:19,280
great to have that on board

185
00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:25,270
tell me

186
00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:27,440
two of your big experiments robonaut in

187
00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:30,080
the 3d printer how's robonaut doing with

188
00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:32,000
its new legs i haven't heard too much

189
00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:34,639
about it lately and have you made

190
00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:36,560
anything functional yet with that 3d

191
00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:37,840
printer that you're you're actually

192
00:07:44,950 --> 00:07:43,589
well i'll talk about robonaut he's

193
00:07:46,869 --> 00:07:44,960
actually

194
00:07:48,629 --> 00:07:46,879
right there right behind me and um we

195
00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:48,639
had him out uh probably about two weeks

196
00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:49,680
ago

197
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:52,800
uh and got him powered up and and we ran

198
00:07:56,469 --> 00:07:54,720
out of time we weren't able to get a lot

199
00:07:57,990 --> 00:07:56,479
of motion out of him but uh that's

200
00:07:59,029 --> 00:07:58,000
coming in the near future so yes he's

201
00:08:00,710 --> 00:07:59,039
been out

202
00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:00,720
um we woke him up but he's back

203
00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:02,080
hibernating again i'll let butch talk

204
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:03,840
about the 3d printer that which is right

205
00:08:11,670 --> 00:08:08,950
yeah the 3d printer was pretty amazing

206
00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:11,680
watched some items print out we made a

207
00:08:16,469 --> 00:08:14,800
what i called a honey jar and just a cap

208
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:16,479
in the in the jar itself fit together

209
00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:18,240
perfectly though they printed separately

210
00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:20,000
which i thought was very intriguing very

211
00:08:22,629 --> 00:08:21,360
interesting of course they wouldn't let

212
00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:22,639
me put honey in it because they have to

213
00:08:25,749 --> 00:08:24,560
take it back to earth and assess how it

214
00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:25,759
all came out

215
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:28,000
also a ratchet wrench we made a ratchet

216
00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:30,080
wrench of course again they wouldn't let

217
00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:32,000
me use it though i wanted to

218
00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:33,680
because they'll have to send it back and

219
00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:35,839
like i said assess it so anyway it's

220
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:37,200
pretty pretty intriguing pretty neat

221
00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:39,279
pretty neat science

222
00:08:44,070 --> 00:08:40,880
well i'm wondering if you could share

223
00:08:46,230 --> 00:08:44,080
your new year new year's resolutions um

224
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,240
from space um

225
00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:48,480
what are they

226
00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:49,920
and and how was your new year's eve

227
00:08:55,670 --> 00:08:51,760
celebration i should say how was ringing

228
00:08:59,430 --> 00:08:57,110
new year's was great going around the

229
00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:59,440
earth 16 times we got to cross you know

230
00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:01,200
midnight somewhere on earth 16 times

231
00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:02,720
that was a lot of fun unfortunately we

232
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:04,399
were almost always over the ocean so we

233
00:09:07,430 --> 00:09:05,760
didn't get a chance to look and see if

234
00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:07,440
we could see fireworks you know over

235
00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:10,000
london or washington or new york or

236
00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:11,600
moscow or any place like that but it was

237
00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:13,680
a lot of fun so i've resolved to spend

238
00:09:16,949 --> 00:09:15,200
more time on the ceiling this year in

239
00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:16,959
2014 i spent way too much time on the

240
00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:18,480
floor so i'm going to try and get up

241
00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:19,680
there on the ceiling that's one of my

242
00:09:28,949 --> 00:09:27,269
yeah i guess my new year's resolution is

243
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:28,959
to start doing more and more video here

244
00:09:32,870 --> 00:09:30,640
on board of the space station just to to

245
00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:32,880
document the the amazing life and work

246
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:34,959
that we do up here a little bit more and

247
00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:37,680
as far as our new year's celebrations go

248
00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:39,440
um

249
00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:40,640
i'd like to mention that we actually

250
00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:42,640
danced i didn't i didn't quite know if

251
00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:44,399
it would be possible to dance in in

252
00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:46,320
weightlessness but uh we gave it a try

253
00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:48,320
it was fun i i'm not sure that it looked

254
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:50,480
like dancing from the outside but we

255
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:52,080
felt like we were dancing and so that's

256
00:10:00,470 --> 00:09:58,710
well well i didn't make any new year's

257
00:10:03,509 --> 00:10:00,480
resolutions but i like terry so i'm

258
00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:03,519
going to spend some time on the ceiling

259
00:10:08,069 --> 00:10:05,920
well listen all all of you all all three

260
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:08,079

portion of the event please stand by for

268
00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:41,670
space station this is kgo how do you

269
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:46,389
loud and clear

270
00:10:51,910 --> 00:10:48,320

00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:53,760
thank you for making time for us this is

273
00:10:59,670 --> 00:10:57,519
san francisco calling um

274
00:11:01,509 --> 00:10:59,680
can you tell me about today's launch and

275
00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:01,519
how you guys feel about it or it didn't

276
00:11:08,949 --> 00:11:07,269
that's right we were we were actually

277
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:08,959
watching mission control in houston was

278
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:09,839
able to

279
00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:11,920
send up some live video and we knew the

280
00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:13,440
weather was a little bit iffy today so

281
00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:15,040
it wasn't a big surprise

282
00:11:18,630 --> 00:11:16,480
we'll just wait a few days and and

283
00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:18,640
they'll launch when they're ready to go

284
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:20,399
we're definitely looking forward to the

285
00:11:24,069 --> 00:11:22,720
cargo that spacex 5 will be bringing up

286
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:24,079
to us

287
00:11:26,949 --> 00:11:25,760
personally we all have food and some

288
00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:26,959
christmas presents on there that we're

289
00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:28,480
looking forward to but more importantly

290
00:11:31,350 --> 00:11:29,279
there's

291
00:11:32,949 --> 00:11:31,360
some good science and some equipment

292
00:11:34,949 --> 00:11:32,959
that we'll need for future spacewalks on

293
00:11:36,069 --> 00:11:34,959
there so it's an important resupply

294
00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:36,079
mission just like they're all very

295
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:37,760
important resupply missions to the space

296
00:11:44,389 --> 00:11:42,550
other than the christmas presents from

297
00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:44,399
your loved ones what's the one thing

298
00:11:48,310 --> 00:11:46,240
that you really

299
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:48,320
looking forward to personally on the

300
00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:57,190
well i hate to i'll be honest and i'll

301
00:12:00,949 --> 00:11:59,279
just tell you you know uh when you come

302
00:12:02,389 --> 00:12:00,959
up here your tastes change a little bit

303
00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:02,399
a lot of people probably don't know that

304
00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:04,800
but you like spicy food and and there's

305
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:06,240
not a lot of spicy we ran out of

306
00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:08,320
condiments about a month and a half ago

307
00:12:12,629 --> 00:12:10,000
so i'm looking forward to getting some

308
00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:12,639
yellow mustard and make this food just a

309
00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:19,750
can you talk about the importance of

310
00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:22,560
this rocket this particular one and the

311
00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:31,350
i think you're referring to the they're

312
00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:33,040
going to try to land on a barge which

313
00:12:37,110 --> 00:12:35,360
will be pretty amazing and

314
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:37,120
the real benefit there is an economic

315
00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:38,639
one if you can reuse the boosters i

316
00:12:42,310 --> 00:12:40,320
think that's going to reduce the cost of

317
00:12:43,829 --> 00:12:42,320
launching to space which of course is

318
00:12:45,590 --> 00:12:43,839
important it's the biggest limiting

319
00:12:47,110 --> 00:12:45,600
factor we have in getting to space is

320
00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:47,120
the cost and so

321
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:48,720
if they're successful in being able to

322
00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:50,880
reuse the first stage booster that'll

323
00:12:59,990 --> 00:12:57,750
can you talk about as an astronaut as

324
00:13:01,590 --> 00:13:00,000
far as reusing this

325
00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:01,600
equipment and

326
00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:10,870
well i think the greatest example is the

327
00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:12,560
space shuttle which we just retired you

328
00:13:17,590 --> 00:13:14,480
know just a couple of years ago uh the

329
00:13:19,430 --> 00:13:17,600
reusable uh as we reused it to gosh 135

330
00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:19,440
flights we did on on the space shuttle

331
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:22,160
with reusable engines reusable avionics

332
00:13:25,350 --> 00:13:23,680
everything of course which brought the

333
00:13:27,269 --> 00:13:25,360
cost down substantially over what it

334
00:13:28,790 --> 00:13:27,279
would cost to build a new one every time

335
00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:28,800
so obviously there's there's the

336
00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:35,829
and um for our viewers here the bay area

337
00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:38,480
in san francisco there's some kids in

338
00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:40,800
oakland i believe that have experiments

339
00:13:45,430 --> 00:13:43,120
on this cargo talk about

340
00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:45,440
the experience

341
00:13:49,750 --> 00:13:47,760
experiments that are going to you and

342
00:13:58,310 --> 00:13:49,760
how do you communicate with these people

343
00:14:04,629 --> 00:14:00,550
i think one of you like to twitter

344
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:06,069
now we are

345
00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:07,440
of course looking forward to the science

346
00:14:12,150 --> 00:14:10,079
that is coming up um

347
00:14:14,710 --> 00:14:12,160
i am uh in particular looking forward of

348
00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:14,720
course as an uh is an astronaut to some

349
00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:16,880
esa and as italian space agency

350
00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:18,959
experiments that are coming up on

351
00:14:24,069 --> 00:14:21,519
a dragon which include for example

352
00:14:25,829 --> 00:14:24,079
airway monitoring or triple looks or

353
00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:25,839
some hardware that was actually lost on

354
00:14:30,949 --> 00:14:28,399
the unfortunate mishap earlier or

355
00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:30,959
last year and that is being replaced um

356
00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:34,720
for experiments studying uh venus of

357
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:37,760
blood circulation and and sleep and uh

358
00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:39,680
as far as uh doing stuff with kids

359
00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:41,600
that's of course always very exciting i

360
00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:43,680
actually look forward to in a couple of

361
00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:46,000
weeks i believe or even less uh with

362
00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:48,560
yelena my russian crewmate

363
00:14:52,629 --> 00:14:50,560
we're going to be supporting the

364
00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:52,639
finals of the competition zero robotics

365
00:14:57,189 --> 00:14:55,279
up here so we have this three spheres

366
00:14:59,269 --> 00:14:57,199
that actually can be controlled inside

367
00:15:01,189 --> 00:14:59,279
the cabin and we will run software

368
00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:01,199
developed by students throughout the

369
00:15:05,110 --> 00:15:03,279
world and they will actually compete

370
00:15:07,030 --> 00:15:05,120
here on board we will run that software

371
00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:07,040
and those spheres will fly in the

372
00:15:14,949 --> 00:15:09,760
japanese modules and we'll see who wins

373
00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:17,269
and do you communicate with them via

374
00:15:25,829 --> 00:15:23,590
we do actually we all

375
00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:25,839
use twitter i'm astro terry she's astro

376
00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:29,040
samantha and butch's astro butch and

377
00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:30,720
that's probably one of the best ways to

378
00:15:33,829 --> 00:15:32,399
communicate with folks we love sending

379
00:15:35,829 --> 00:15:33,839
out the pictures that we take the views

380
00:15:38,230 --> 00:15:35,839
here are just unbelievable sometimes

381
00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:38,240
we'll post pictures of us inside doing

382
00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:39,920
the things that astronauts do on a daily

383
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:41,680
basis it's a really easy way for the

384
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:43,519
public to see what we do

385
00:15:46,790 --> 00:15:45,120
and uh to share in the adventure that

386
00:15:48,629 --> 00:15:46,800
we're having

387
00:15:52,310 --> 00:15:48,639
in a small way or actually in a big way

388
00:16:02,710 --> 00:15:53,749
is there any other form of

389
00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:04,389
well i i

390
00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:06,560
make an effort to write a daily

391
00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:08,639
logbook so a short account of what

392
00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:10,079
happened during the day and my

393
00:16:12,949 --> 00:16:11,440
perspective

394
00:16:14,629 --> 00:16:12,959
of course the stuff that we do in terms

395
00:16:17,269 --> 00:16:14,639
of science and maintenance but also just

396
00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:17,279
my observations in terms of adapting to

397
00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:19,120
the life on the space station and and

398
00:16:23,189 --> 00:16:21,600
little things that surprise me

399
00:16:25,110 --> 00:16:23,199

400
00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:25,120

402
00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:29,440

00:16:34,790 --> 00:16:31,040
