252 00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:31,920 an unusual event 253 00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:35,040 can you hear me yes i have not had any 254 00:12:40,470 --> 00:12:37,360 space tourists on board the iss during 255 00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:40,480 my previous flight but i believe that it 256 00:12:46,069 --> 00:12:43,600 will be a great experience 257 00:12:47,190 --> 00:12:46,079 and i understand that she does not

00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:53,279 weightlessness 262 00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:56,480 but we will help her and we will 263 00:13:01,030 --> 00:12:58,320 be supporting her as much as we can we 264

00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:08,639 new crews on board the iss thank you for 268 00:13:14,310 --> 00:13:10,160 your question 269 00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:16,470 robnavius with nasa television i have a 270 00:13:21,350 --> 00:13:18,800 question for scott and a follow-up scott 271 00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:21,360 the range of human emotions never leaves 272 00:13:24,949 --> 00:13:22,880 any of us for very long whether you're 273 00:13:27,590 --> 00:13:24,959 on the planet or off the planet 274 00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:27,600 uh there's obviously particular interest 275 00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:29,760 in how you believe your emotions may 276 00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:31,920 fluctuate over the course of a year in 277 00:13:36,389 --> 00:13:34,160 space and what you plan to do to try to 278 00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:36,399 keep yourself on an even keel over that 279 00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:38,160 period of time 280 00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:39,680 well it's uh rob it's definitely 281 00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:41,920 something i've thought about and you 282 00:13:46,150 --> 00:13:44,480 know fortunately i have the previous uh 283 00:14:02,470 --> 00:13:46,160 experience of being on the space station 284 00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:04,069 so you know having that previous 285 00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:06,560 experience i uh you know understand that 286 00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:08,560 i need to pace myself and my you know 287 00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:10,000 level of work 288 00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:12,320 needs to be uh you know such that i can 289 00:14:17,110 --> 00:14:13,920 get to the end with hopefully as much 290 00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:17,120 energy as i have in the very beginning 291 00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:18,560 and scott how important from an 292 00:14:22,870 --> 00:14:19,760 operational 293 00:14:24,949 --> 00:14:22,880 scientific and a symbolic standpoint is 294 00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:24,959 the fact that you and mikhail uh will be 295 00:14:28,230 --> 00:14:26,320 together for a year and what that 296 00:14:29,590 --> 00:14:28,240 represents for the future of deep space 297 00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:29,600 exploration 298 00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:31,440 well i think most people in this room 299 00:14:36,389 --> 00:14:33,760 realize that this is not russia's first 300 00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:36,399 uh venture into having people stay in 301 00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:48,870 i see 302 00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:51,829 um but the big difference with this uh 303 00:14:55,829 --> 00:14:53,920 flight is this is the first time we're 304 00:14:58,629 --> 00:14:55,839 doing it as an international partnership 305 00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:58,639 which is one of the most uh 306 00:15:01,670 --> 00:15:00,720 you know what i think is one of the most 307 00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:01,680 uh 308 00:15:09,269 --> 00:15:03,279 greatest success stories of the 309 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:18,389 um 310 00:15:22,150 --> 00:15:20,710 you know furthermore although amisha 311 00:15:23,829 --> 00:15:22,160 misha and i are only 312 00:15:25,430 --> 00:15:23,839 one data point 313 00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:25,440 in this uh 314 00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:27,839 you know goal to have people live and 315 00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:30,000 work in space for longer periods with 316 00:15:53,110 --> 00:15:32,399 the hopes of of some day going perhaps 317 00:15:57,189 --> 00:15:54,629 start somewhere and uh you know i think 318 00:15:59,030 --> 00:15:57,199 this is a great start and i'm proud to 319 00:16:02,710 --> 00:15:59,040 be a part of it and i'm sure 320 00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:05,749 so what are you thinking about using 321 00:16:09,189 --> 00:16:07,040 virtual 322 00:16:13,749 --> 00:16:09,199 facilities 323 00:16:16,310 --> 00:16:13,759 for example while you're in the woods 324 00:16:18,629 --> 00:16:16,320 you can use them to find the right 325 00:16:20,550 --> 00:16:18,639 direction so what exactly will you be 326 00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:20,560 missing 327 00:16:25,269 --> 00:16:22,800 they're on orbit while you be spending 328 00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:25,279 one year on the iss you were absolutely 329 00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:27,199 correct we will be missing nature we 330 00:16:32,470 --> 00:16:30,000 will be missing landscapes woods this is 331 00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:32,480 what i missed most during my previous 332 00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:33,519 flight 333 00:16:37,269 --> 00:16:34,959 and 334 00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:37,279 last time i even asked our psychological 335 00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:39,759 support folks to send me 336 00:16:42,470 -->

researchers 375 00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:43,679 our objectives will be installation of 376 00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:45,440 hardware will be 377 00:18:50,230 --> 00:18:48,720 downlinking data back to earth 378 00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:50,240 to the specialists who will stay here 379 00:18:53,669 --> 00:18:52,559 and who will be analyzing this 380 00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:53,679 data 381 00:18:58,150 --> 00:18:56,080 and of course we do have a lot of 382 00:18:59,669 --> 00:18:58,160 experiments some experiments are 383 00:19:01,909 --> 00:18:59,679 performed 384 00:19:04,549 --> 00:19:01,919 for the benefits of 385 00:19:06,789 --> 00:19:04,559 the space itself of 386 00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:06,799 the ground for example the ionosphere 387 00:19:11,390 --> 00:19:09,120 for example some experiments 388 00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:11,400 are devoted to biological and 389 00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:13,760 biotechnological research 390 00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:16,160 while we will be 391 00:19:21,190 --> 00:19:17,760 during these experiments we will be 392 00:19:22,830 --> 00:19:21,200 studying rodents and other animals and 393 00:19:26,230 --> 00:19:22,840 insects they're 394 00:19:28,710 -->

we will be uh participating in this 398 00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:34,160 experiment together with high school 399 00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:36,320 students with university experience 400 00:19:40,150 --> 00:19:38,400 we should not go into 401 00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:40,160 details 402 00:19:44,230 --> 00:19:42,160 no please 403 00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:44,240 there is also the experiment called 404 00:19:48,950 --> 00:19:46,320 conjugation so that 405 00:19:51,110 --> 00:19:48,960 during this experiment we will be 406 00:19:53,029 --> 00:19:51,120 studying the conjugation of bacteria all 407 00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:53,039 right and right i understand 408 00:19:57,270 --> 00:19:55,120 and we also had a competition on our 409 00:19:58,310 --> 00:19:57,280 radio station when we were asking 410 00:20:00,549 --> 00:19:58,320 questions 411 00:20:01,510 --> 00:20:00,559 to our audience so one of these 412 00:20:03,590 --> 00:20:01,520 questions 413 00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:03,600 was 414

our 492 00:24:24,310 --> 00:24:20,799 mission is to 493 00:24:26,390 --> 00:24:24,320 lay some foundation for future deep 494 00:24:28,070 --> 00:24:26,400 space exploration 495 00:24:30,630 --> 00:24:28,080 i mean solar 496 00:24:34,070 --> 00:24:30,640 system destinations like 497 00:24:39,669 --> 00:24:36,630 the last time we had such a long 498 00:24:41,669 --> 00:24:39,679 duration flight was almost 20 years ago 499 00:24:43,190 --> 00:24:41,679 is that correct yes yes it was a long 500 00:24:45,990 --> 00:24:43,200 time ago 501 00:24:48,390 --> 00:24:46,000 and of course all countermeasures and 502 00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:48,400 scientific research 503 00:24:52,710 --> 00:24:49,760 techniques 504 00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:52,720 are more advanced than 20 years ago and 505 00:24:56,230 --> 00:24:54,720 right now we need to test the capability 506 00:24:57,990 --> 00:24:56,240 of a human being to perform such 507 00:25:00,630 --> 00:24:58,000 long-duration flights 508 00:25:03,110 --> 00:25:00,640 so this is the main objective of our 509 00:25:05,750 --> 00:25:03,120 flight to test ourselves 510 00:25:08,710 --> 00:25:05,760 however there are a lot of other 511 00:25:10,149 --> 00:25:08,720 experiments that are not less 512 00:25:12,230 --> 00:25:10,159 interesting for 513 00:25:15,590 --> 00:25:12,240 the medical community for 514 00:25:17,190 --> 00:25:15,600 this scientific uh researchers and so on 515 00:25:20,230 --> 00:25:17,200 thank you 516 00:25:22,149 --> 00:25:20,240 alexander wilkes from come samosa proud 517 00:25:25,830 -->

orbital 521 00:25:37,350 --> 00:25:35,840 station and 522 00:25:42,149 --> 00:25:37,360 scott kelly 523 00:25:47,990 --> 00:25:45,190 did you use any experience from mr 524 00:25:52,710 -->

course i was talking 528 00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:02,559 to mr polikkov and titov about the 529 00:26:08,310 --> 00:26:04,880 their flight some time ago 530 00:26:10,950 --> 00:26:09,430 gave me 531 00:26:12,630 --> 00:26:10,960 a photograph 532 00:26:14,070 --> 00:26:12,640 and 533 00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:14,080 he also 534 00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:16,480 uh said good luck 535 00:26:20,470 -->

00:26:28,149 --> 00:26:24,880 flight a little bit and but he's the 539 00:26:47,029 --> 00:26:28,159 only person i've spoken to 540 00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:49,830 hi uh jeffrey kluger time magazine i 541 00:26:52,710 --> 00:26:50,840 would direct 542 00:26:55,909 --> 00:26:52,720 this scott scott 543 00:26:57,830 --> 00:26:55,919 russia has been launching men and women 544 00:27:00,710 --> 00:26:57,840 for since april 545 00:27:03,350 --> 00:27:00,720 1961 and the us has been launching from 546 00:27:05,510 --> 00:27:03,360 florida for almost as long these two 547 00:27:07,590 --> 00:27:05,520 countries have a century of space flight 548 00:27:09,830 --> 00:27:07,600 between them and yet 549 00:27:11,750 --> 00:27:09,840 what you're doing and what everyone else 550 00:27:14,149 --> 00:27:11,760 in this mission is doing 551 00:27:16,549 --> 00:27:14,159 continues to inspire people continues to 552 00:27:18,310 --> 00:27:16,559 thrill people what is it about a mission 553 00:27:20,389 --> 00:27:18,320 like this and for that matter space in 554 00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:20,399 general that causes it to have that 555 00:27:24,389 --> 00:27:22,960 effect on people 556 00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:24,399 you know i think there are a lot of 557 00:27:33,029 --> 00:27:30,549 interested in in space in the space 558 00:27:34,630 --> 00:27:33,039 program and what we do here 559 00:27:35,669 --> 00:27:34,640 but occasionally you got to do something 560 00:27:36,950 --> 00:27:35,679 that's uh 561 00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:36,960 you know a little bit different and in 562 00:27:42,149 --> 00:27:40,320 this case uh expanding our 563 00:27:43,590 --> 00:27:42,159 experience base 564 00:27:45,669 --> 00:27:43,600 at least with regards to the space 565 00:27:47,510 --> 00:27:45,679 station beyond what we've done 566 00:27:49,269 --> 00:27:47,520 previously 567 00:27:50,549 --> 00:27:49,279 you know which makes it 568 00:27:53,190 --> 00:27:50,559 i think a little bit more interesting 569 00:27:55,669 --> 00:27:53,200 for people and has caught a lot of uh 570 00:27:57,669 --> 00:27:55,679 of people's attention um like i said 571 00:27:59,990 --> 00:27:57,679 earlier to rob's question you know i 572 00:28:01,830 --> 00:28:00,000 think one of the big differences here is 573 00:28:03,830 --> 00:28:01,840 uh we're doing this as an international 574 00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:03,840 partnership and if we ever go 575 00:28:09,029 --> 00:28:06,799 uh beyond low earth orbit again um 576 00:28:11,430 --> 00:28:09,039 perhaps to mars because of the cost and 577 00:28:13,430 --> 00:28:11,440 the complexity it will most likely be an 578 00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:13,440 international mission so you know i see 579 00:28:17,590 --> 00:28:16,320 this is a stepping stone to that and um 580 00:28:19,909 --> 00:28:17,600 you know a place like 581 00:28:22,630 --> 00:28:19,919 kazakhstan here in central asia is uh 582 00:28:25,269 --> 00:28:22,640 you know also an interesting place to be 583 00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:25,279 launching off the earth and it's 584 00:28:28,470 --> 00:28:26,880 you know it's so remote out here i think 585 00:28:30,470 --> 00:28:28,480 it's it would be if you're ever going to 586 00:28:32,389 --> 00:28:30,480 go to mars going from a place like this 587 00:28:55,430 --> 00:28:32,399 would be you know a step in the right 588 00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:12,470 yes 589 00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:15,830 and since we're talking about 590 00:29:20,230 --> 00:29:18,000 future already i have a question for 591 00:29:22,549 --> 00:29:20,240 everyone so what do you think will 592 00:29:24,389 --> 00:29:22,559 happen with cosmonautics in 20 years how 593 00:29:27,510 --> 00:29:24,399 do you see that development in your 594 00:29:30,149 --> 00:29:27,520 opinion thank you 595 00:29:31,669 --> 00:29:30,159 you know it's really hard to 596 00:29:34,950 --> 00:29:31,679 forecast 597 00:29:41,110 --> 00:29:36,870 i know that 598 00:29:44,389 --> 00:29:41,120 in the 80s vernafon brown had a plan to 599 00:29:47,830 --> 00:29:44,399 land on mars right now we are living in 600 00:29:48,950 --> 00:29:47,840 2015 and we're only approaching that 601 00:29:51,669 --> 00:29:48,960 mission 602 00:29:53,510 --> 00:29:51,679 but yes i believe that by 603 00:29:55,669 --> 00:29:53,520 2030 604 00:29:57,430 --> 00:29:55,679 uh mission to mars will be possible 605 00:30:05,029 --> 00:29:57,440 thank you 606 00:30:09,430 --> 00:30:07,990 afternoon peter scott from russia today 607 00:30:13,510 --> 00:30:09,440 good evening

00:30:20,080 missions is to 612 00:30:26,710 --> 00:30:22,960 lay the foundations for future flies to 613 00:30:30,630 --> 00:30:28,310 can we say that these missions will be 614 00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:30,640 possible within the next 10 years or 20 615 00:30:35,269 --> 00:30:32,640 years or are they 616 00:30:38,149 --> 00:30:35,279 impossible well we have just answered 617 00:30:43,750 -->
