1
00:00:12,230 --> 00:00:09,910
the second umbilical now separating from

2
00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:12,240
the tower marking less than 15 seconds

3
00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:25,589
and liftoff the year in space starts now

4
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:28,320
kelly kornyenko and padalka on their way

5
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:40,549
getting good first stage performance the

6
00:00:45,029 --> 00:00:43,520
soyuz delivering about 930 000 pounds of

7
00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:45,039
thrust through its four strap-on

8
00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:47,120
boosters and single engines

9
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:52,630
get in reports nominal operation the

10
00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:54,879
first stage measuring 68 feet in length

11
00:00:59,110 --> 00:00:57,360
and 24 feet in diameter burning liquid

12
00:01:03,029 --> 00:00:59,120
fuel for the first two minutes and six

13
00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:03,039
seconds into the flight regularly copy

14
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:06,479
40 seconds into the flight stabilization

15
00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:14,789
continuing to get views from the cabin

16
00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:17,200
inside as you heard nasa astronaut reed

17
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:19,439
wiseman a fairly smooth flight into

18
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:27,590
60 seconds

19
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:29,429
the crew looking good inside again

20
00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:31,520
padalka in the center corner on the top

21
00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:32,640
of your screen

22
00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:34,640
getting a look now at nasa astronaut

23
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:42,710
giving a big thumbs up

24
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:45,200
200 seconds into the flight the

25
00:01:49,749 --> 00:01:47,040
thrusters of the second stage are

26
00:02:33,190 --> 00:01:49,759
functioning nominally copy everything is

27
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:41,830
that's a good sign for them

28
00:02:41,840 --> 00:03:00,229
2016

29
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:05,830
all right

30
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:35,750
is

31
00:03:35,760 --> 00:04:11,670
us

32
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:53,990
i got something for you

33
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:19,830
hey charlotte you want to be live

34
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:45,350
give him a high five

35
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:59,189
oh

36
00:06:47,430 --> 00:06:11,749
foreign

37
00:06:47,440 --> 00:07:19,909
what

38
00:07:19,919 --> 00:08:57,990
okay

39
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:21,190
um

40
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:37,030
every day

41
00:09:37,040 --> 00:10:11,430
three of you guys

42
00:10:11,440 --> 00:11:12,870
foreign

43
00:11:12,880 --> 00:12:08,150
one

44
00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:09,990
we're excited about the flight he and i

45
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:11,760
actually had a long conversation last

46
00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:13,200
night and she says

47
00:12:16,949 --> 00:12:14,880
our intent is to be here whenever you

48
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:16,959
need us

49
00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:18,320
you know

50
00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:20,880
you and scott the world is excited about

51
00:12:26,069 --> 00:12:23,839
your mission it's the beginning of a new

52
00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:26,079
phase of exploration between our two

53
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:27,760
countries for one thing

54
00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:30,160
and uh takes us a little bit farther on

55
00:12:48,870 --> 00:12:32,240
the journey to mars so that's really

56
00:12:52,629 --> 00:12:50,710
it is great to see you

57
00:13:43,269 --> 00:12:52,639
enjoy space station and take good care

58
00:13:43,279 --> 00:14:27,189
this is

59
00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:33,910
oh

60
00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:54,550
foreign

61
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:34,230
tonight

62
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:41,350
what is it

63
00:16:15,509 --> 00:15:54,069
foreign

64
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:43,030
oh

65
00:16:47,990 --> 00:16:45,269
mike stefferdini iss program manager

66
00:16:50,069 --> 00:16:48,000
mike a year in space underway for scott

67
00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:50,079
kelly and mikhail kornenko your reaction

68
00:16:54,629 --> 00:16:52,240
to the launch well as always the launch

69
00:16:56,470 --> 00:16:54,639
is fantastic to watch even with the

70
00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:56,480
cloud cover it makes the whole pad glow

71
00:17:00,389 --> 00:16:58,160
so at night time it's a spectacular

72
00:17:01,990 --> 00:17:00,399
sight but i think

73
00:17:04,870 --> 00:17:02,000
on the international space station we

74
00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:04,880
have been working for some time to do

75
00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:07,280
the necessary studies to to convince

76
00:17:11,110 --> 00:17:09,039
ourselves we know how to mitigate the

77
00:17:13,909 --> 00:17:11,120
deleterious effects of space

78
00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:13,919
and i think this is the most overt

79
00:17:18,230 --> 00:17:16,880
uh step that we've taken where everybody

80
00:17:19,829 --> 00:17:18,240
can kind of think about the fact this is

81
00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:19,839
a year in space we're kind of taking a

82
00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:22,160
step six months to a year and then a

83
00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:23,839
year to year and a half we're making our

84
00:17:27,829 --> 00:17:25,760
steps towards how long we have to be in

85
00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:27,839
space to go to mars and so

86
00:17:33,590 --> 00:17:30,000
of course this is a major step for us a

87
00:17:35,990 --> 00:17:33,600
major moment but it really highlights

88
00:17:37,510 --> 00:17:36,000
that space station is a necessary step

89
00:17:39,029 --> 00:17:37,520
towards exploration the first step

90
00:17:40,710 --> 00:17:39,039
towards exploration

91
00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:40,720
mike much has been made over the last

92
00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:42,480
weeks and months about

93
00:17:47,590 --> 00:17:45,280
kelly and kornenko how will they make it

94
00:17:49,750 --> 00:17:47,600
marathon versus a sprint but from a

95
00:17:52,150 --> 00:17:49,760
programmatic standpoint how do you as

96
00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:52,160
the program manager manage all of the

97
00:17:56,470 --> 00:17:54,240
traffic all of the science that they'll

98
00:17:58,630 --> 00:17:56,480
encounter over the next year well that

99
00:18:01,990 --> 00:17:58,640
is a challenge not only you're doing one

100
00:18:03,990 --> 00:18:02,000
year experiments on these two gentlemen

101
00:18:06,549 --> 00:18:04,000
but we also have our full suite of six

102
00:18:08,310 --> 00:18:06,559
months experiments going as well in

103
00:18:09,909 --> 00:18:08,320
addition to that for this particular

104
00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:09,919
period of time we're reconfiguring the

105
00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:11,919
international space station for docking

106
00:18:15,029 --> 00:18:13,760
of the commercial crew vehicles which is

107
00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:15,039
a major change we're moving some

108
00:18:21,110 --> 00:18:17,520
elements around adding docking ports uh

109
00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:21,120
and so it's uh it's a busy time the crew

110
00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:23,679
time is very constrained and so really

111
00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:25,440
the job of the program is to balance all

112
00:18:29,350 --> 00:18:27,200
those priorities while we continue to do

113
00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:29,360
the critical research we do and still

114
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:32,160
get the the uh the reconfiguration done

115
00:18:35,590 --> 00:18:33,760
so it's it's a balancing act but it's

116
00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:35,600
one we're very familiar with

117
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:38,080
and mike uh a significant time for the

118
00:18:41,270 --> 00:18:40,000
international space station

119
00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:41,280
these two guys are going to be flying

120
00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:42,960
over the 40th anniversary of apollo

121
00:18:47,590 --> 00:18:45,200
soyuz and the 15th anniversary of a

122
00:18:50,549 --> 00:18:47,600
permanent human occupancy on the station

123
00:18:52,630 --> 00:18:50,559
how significant is that for the program

124
00:18:54,710 --> 00:18:52,640
and the steps that lie ahead

125
00:18:56,630 --> 00:18:54,720
well when you think about apollo soyuz

126
00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:56,640
it really was the first step in our

127
00:19:01,510 --> 00:18:58,960
cooperation with our russian colleagues

128
00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:01,520
and which laid the foundation for

129
00:19:06,150 --> 00:19:04,080
cooperation amongst many partners so to

130
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:06,160
me the 40th anniversary is important the

131
00:19:09,750 --> 00:19:07,760
15th anniversary is not only the

132
00:19:12,230 --> 00:19:09,760
anniversary of 15 years of human

133
00:19:15,669 --> 00:19:12,240
presence on iss but i think it

134
00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:15,679
punctuates the apollo soyuz first step

135
00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:17,760
and so i look at a sort of a step

136
00:19:22,789 --> 00:19:20,080
towards our final destination the idea

137
00:19:24,789 --> 00:19:22,799
that that went from apollo soyuz to the

138
00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:24,799
international space station today the

139
00:19:27,990 --> 00:19:26,320
international space station is really

140
00:19:30,789 --> 00:19:28,000
the first step in human exploration

141
00:19:33,430 --> 00:19:30,799
beyond low earth orbit and so we've got

142
00:19:35,350 --> 00:19:33,440
at least 15 more years of iss and then

143
00:19:37,029 --> 00:19:35,360
the whole

144
00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:37,039
international partnership a

145
00:19:40,870 --> 00:19:38,960
international partnership

146
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:40,880
will start moving forward and this to me

147
00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:43,360
not only highlights our past and what

148
00:19:48,390 --> 00:19:45,520
we've done to date but it smiles

149
00:19:51,270 --> 00:19:48,400
brightly on our our future going beyond

150
00:19:54,870 --> 00:19:53,029
bill gerstenmaier nasa's associate

151
00:19:57,270 --> 00:19:54,880
administrator for human exploration

152
00:19:58,870 --> 00:19:57,280
operations bill um thunderous launch to

153
00:20:00,789 --> 00:19:58,880
begin a year in space your thoughts

154
00:20:02,149 --> 00:20:00,799
about uh the start of this marathon

155
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:02,159
mission

156
00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:04,880
again just an amazing launch here but

157
00:20:09,110 --> 00:20:07,280
then when i think about the year ahead i

158
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:09,120
think of it in a very different way you

159
00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:10,720
know we kind of got used to the six

160
00:20:14,390 --> 00:20:12,559
month periods but now to see this one

161
00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:14,400
year and to think about all the work

162
00:20:17,830 --> 00:20:15,840
that's gone into planning for the

163
00:20:20,230 --> 00:20:17,840
research the activities that the crew

164
00:20:21,990 --> 00:20:20,240
has planned on orbit is just exciting to

165
00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:22,000
to see that get kicked off and see the

166
00:20:25,909 --> 00:20:23,840
teams get to execute all these plans

167
00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:25,919
they put together

168
00:20:30,630 --> 00:20:28,240
what will be in your opinion the most

169
00:20:32,789 --> 00:20:30,640
challenging aspect of these two guys

170
00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:32,799
spending a year together and doing all

171
00:20:36,470 --> 00:20:34,720
the work that lies ahead

172
00:20:38,950 --> 00:20:36,480
again i think if i just look at the

173
00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:38,960
activities there's just a tremendous

174
00:20:42,710 --> 00:20:40,880
amount of work planned for this year you

175
00:20:44,470 --> 00:20:42,720
know some of the investigations are very

176
00:20:46,310 --> 00:20:44,480
complicated where they're done partially

177
00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:46,320
on the u.s segment and they move over to

178
00:20:49,590 --> 00:20:48,080
the russian segment for a portion of the

179
00:20:51,909 --> 00:20:49,600
activities and then they come back to

180
00:20:54,070 --> 00:20:51,919
the u.s segment

181
00:20:55,430 --> 00:20:54,080
it's just uh amazing to see how much

182
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:55,440
work they're going to have to do during

183
00:20:59,909 --> 00:20:57,600
this year expedition so i think the

184
00:21:01,510 --> 00:20:59,919
thing is we used to think about 180 days

185
00:21:03,590 --> 00:21:01,520
being a marathon and we had to really

186
00:21:05,510 --> 00:21:03,600
pace ourselves when i think about this

187
00:21:07,029 --> 00:21:05,520
year expedition we really need to pace

188
00:21:09,190 --> 00:21:07,039
ourselves and just make sure we're in it

189
00:21:10,870 --> 00:21:09,200
for the long haul and we can do things

190
00:21:12,630 --> 00:21:10,880
and move out at the right pace but

191
00:21:14,470 --> 00:21:12,640
tremendous number of investigations

192
00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:14,480
it'll be exciting to see them kind of

193
00:21:18,870 --> 00:21:16,320
get ticked off and to see the changes in

194
00:21:20,710 --> 00:21:18,880
the crew throughout the year

195
00:21:22,390 --> 00:21:20,720
nasa administrator charles bolden in

196
00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:22,400
baikonur uh sir

197
00:21:25,909 --> 00:21:23,280
the

198
00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:25,919
one-year mission embarking with great

199
00:21:29,350 --> 00:21:27,600
interest around the world

200
00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:29,360
an important mission and intriguing

201
00:21:33,350 --> 00:21:30,480
flight

202
00:21:35,590 --> 00:21:33,360
what is it that is inspirational and

203
00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:35,600
what is it that is so intriguing about

204
00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:37,120
an american and a russian flying

205
00:21:41,029 --> 00:21:38,880
together for a year in space

206
00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:41,039
i think anytime you get an american and

207
00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:42,960
a russian doing something

208
00:21:46,710 --> 00:21:45,200
to the successful extent that we have

209
00:21:48,470 --> 00:21:46,720
been doing now for more than 14 years

210
00:21:50,630 --> 00:21:48,480
with the international space station it

211
00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:50,640
should be big news it unfortunately is

212
00:21:54,549 --> 00:21:52,880
not the news it should be

213
00:21:56,470 --> 00:21:54,559
but the critical importance of this

214
00:21:59,350 --> 00:21:56,480
particular mission with scott and

215
00:22:01,510 --> 00:21:59,360
mikhail as a team it will be to show

216
00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:01,520
once again that when people come

217
00:22:05,270 --> 00:22:03,600
together with a common goal and a common

218
00:22:07,590 --> 00:22:05,280
objective and this time it's to gather

219
00:22:10,149 --> 00:22:07,600
more information about the human body to

220
00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:10,159
help us on our path to mars

221
00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:12,799
when that happens um there is no

222
00:22:16,230 --> 00:22:14,720
limitation to what we can accomplish so

223
00:22:18,710 --> 00:22:16,240
that's the lesson

224
00:22:20,789 --> 00:22:18,720
of this crew in this mission

225
00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:20,799
the soyuz crew patch

226
00:22:25,750 --> 00:22:23,360
for the crew shows marathon runners

227
00:22:29,110 --> 00:22:25,760
so not only for the crew itself but for

228
00:22:31,590 --> 00:22:29,120
the entire nasa and roscosmos family

229
00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:31,600
working together how grueling is this

230
00:22:36,070 --> 00:22:34,000
going to be to sustain

231
00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:36,080
the capabilities for a year to make this

232
00:22:42,549 --> 00:22:39,440
a successful mission well this is it's

233
00:22:44,070 --> 00:22:42,559
the marathon is is a superb example or a

234
00:22:45,830 --> 00:22:44,080
superb description

235
00:22:47,590 --> 00:22:45,840
of this flight because that's exactly

236
00:22:49,909 --> 00:22:47,600
what the mission to mars is it's not a

237
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:49,919
sprint uh it is unlike anything we've

238
00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:53,120
done before a lot of us have been

239
00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:55,280
not worrying but but thinking for quite

240
00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:57,120
some time about what are the what are

241
00:23:01,029 --> 00:22:59,520
the the human challenges of a mission

242
00:23:03,350 --> 00:23:01,039
like this and one of the ones that we've

243
00:23:06,310 --> 00:23:03,360
spent very little time doing anything

244
00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:06,320
with is what's the psychological impact

245
00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:07,600
this will be the first time that we've

246
00:23:12,950 --> 00:23:10,320
had an american stay on orbit for a year

247
00:23:14,549 --> 00:23:12,960
uh may not sound like a lot uh to some

248
00:23:16,870 --> 00:23:14,559
people but let me tell you as a person

249
00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:16,880
who who did nothing but camping trips

250
00:23:21,190 --> 00:23:18,720
during my time in shuttle

251
00:23:23,510 --> 00:23:21,200
this is significant and to move from six

252
00:23:25,110 --> 00:23:23,520
months to one year we're going to see

253
00:23:26,870 --> 00:23:25,120
all kinds of things that are going to

254
00:23:28,630 --> 00:23:26,880
help us understand what the challenges

255
00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:28,640
are going to be for our crews as they

256
00:23:31,909 --> 00:23:30,480
venture off to mars so and people should

257
00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:31,919
not lose sight of that fact the

258
00:23:35,270 --> 00:23:33,840
international space station is our

259
00:23:36,710 --> 00:23:35,280
critical toe hole to the rest of the

260
00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:36,720
solar system

261
00:23:41,430 --> 00:23:39,120
it is in fact our stepping stone

262
00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:41,440
to deep space exploration for humans and

263
00:23:45,669 --> 00:23:43,440
it's the only facility that we have

264
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:45,679
right now that gets us away from earth

265
00:23:49,909 --> 00:23:47,600
gets us into an environment where we can

266
00:23:51,590 --> 00:23:49,919
really see what the human body

267
00:23:53,110 --> 00:23:51,600
undergoes in the microgravity

268
00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:53,120
environment of space

269
00:23:57,590 --> 00:23:55,919
where we can see what semi-isolation is

270
00:23:59,669 --> 00:23:57,600
like on the human

271
00:24:01,830 --> 00:23:59,679
for long periods of time and a year is a

272
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:01,840
long period of time so it's a very

273
00:24:06,789 --> 00:24:05,520
important mission for us

274
00:24:08,710 --> 00:24:06,799
mark kelly

275
00:24:10,710 --> 00:24:08,720
contrary to public belief this really is

276
00:24:11,830 --> 00:24:10,720
mark kelly not scott kelly without the

277
00:24:13,430 --> 00:24:11,840
mustache

278
00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:13,440
mark

279
00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:16,320
your brother scott embarks on

280
00:24:21,269 --> 00:24:18,640
a mission like no other astronaut for

281
00:24:22,950 --> 00:24:21,279
the united states has ever embarked on

282
00:24:24,950 --> 00:24:22,960
what do you think

283
00:24:27,110 --> 00:24:24,960
his state of mind is as he begins the

284
00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:27,120
flight and

285
00:24:31,909 --> 00:24:30,000
why is he the right guy for this job

286
00:24:33,590 --> 00:24:31,919
you know i at the press conference the

287
00:24:35,830 --> 00:24:33,600
other day with all the crew members my

288
00:24:37,029 --> 00:24:35,840
brothers you know the the crew the prime

289
00:24:38,789 --> 00:24:37,039
crew and the backup crew i thought

290
00:24:40,470 --> 00:24:38,799
gennady padalka said something

291
00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:40,480
interesting and he said when he's in

292
00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:42,240
space he wants to be home and he was at

293
00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:43,840
when he's at home he wants to be in

294
00:24:48,149 --> 00:24:45,600
space and i talked to my brother a

295
00:24:50,149 --> 00:24:48,159
little bit about that afterwards and you

296
00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:50,159
know that's kind of the situation he

297
00:24:53,909 --> 00:24:52,000
feels he will fall into i mean right now

298
00:24:56,470 --> 00:24:53,919
he's really excited about this flight he

299
00:24:58,230 --> 00:24:56,480
does realize that a year is a pretty

300
00:24:59,990 --> 00:24:58,240
substantial commitment it's twice as

301
00:25:01,430 --> 00:25:00,000
long as what he's his other long

302
00:25:03,590 --> 00:25:01,440
duration flight

303
00:25:05,909 --> 00:25:03,600
but you know this is a marathon and not

304
00:25:08,149 --> 00:25:05,919
a sprint but i imagine at some point

305
00:25:09,990 --> 00:25:08,159
during the flight he's gonna he's gonna

306
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:10,000
think about coming home and you know he

307
00:25:14,070 --> 00:25:11,520
doesn't know when that if that's gonna

308
00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:14,080
be at four months or eight months or you

309
00:25:17,029 --> 00:25:15,760
know he can make it all the way to the

310
00:25:18,950 --> 00:25:17,039
end without

311
00:25:20,710 --> 00:25:18,960
you know that that long longing for

312
00:25:22,070 --> 00:25:20,720
getting back

313
00:25:23,510 --> 00:25:22,080
nobody knows him better than you

314
00:25:25,990 --> 00:25:23,520
obviously

315
00:25:28,549 --> 00:25:26,000
your military guys

316
00:25:31,269 --> 00:25:28,559
so you're used to long stays away from

317
00:25:34,070 --> 00:25:31,279
home obviously this has got to help but

318
00:25:35,830 --> 00:25:34,080
this is a particularly uh significant

319
00:25:37,669 --> 00:25:35,840
flight in terms of

320
00:25:39,590 --> 00:25:37,679
what it's going the toll it could take

321
00:25:41,269 --> 00:25:39,600
psychologically as well as physically

322
00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:41,279
how do you think he's going to respond

323
00:25:45,830 --> 00:25:43,200
to that you know not only you know being

324
00:25:47,990 --> 00:25:45,840
away from home for a long time and i

325
00:25:49,029 --> 00:25:48,000
you know there's an aspect of that that

326
00:25:50,950 --> 00:25:49,039
makes him

327
00:25:53,269 --> 00:25:50,960
somewhat suitable for this but i think

328
00:25:54,470 --> 00:25:53,279
it's also focusing on a mission and an

329
00:25:56,230 --> 00:25:54,480
objective

330
00:25:58,789 --> 00:25:56,240
and understanding that there are things

331
00:26:00,789 --> 00:25:58,799
more important than you as an individual

332
00:26:02,390 --> 00:26:00,799
so he certainly has that mindset that's

333
00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:02,400
why he's doing this why that's why he's

334
00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:03,840
volunteered for

335
00:26:08,390 --> 00:26:06,080
you know some science stuff that maybe

336
00:26:09,669 --> 00:26:08,400
everybody would not have volunteered for

337
00:26:10,470 --> 00:26:09,679
not that all that stuff is going to be

338
00:26:12,310 --> 00:26:10,480
done

339
00:26:14,149 --> 00:26:12,320
during this mission but you know he's in

340
00:26:16,630 --> 00:26:14,159
this he's committed to it

341
00:26:19,510 --> 00:26:16,640
and you know we expect that it's going

342
00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:19,520
to return some pretty significant

343
00:26:24,470 --> 00:26:21,840
advances in how we understand human

344
00:26:26,630 --> 00:26:24,480
physiology and space flight

345
00:26:28,870 --> 00:26:26,640
and you're part of that the twin study

346
00:26:30,870 --> 00:26:28,880
if you will uh much has been made about

347
00:26:32,310 --> 00:26:30,880
this what do you expect uh will be

348
00:26:33,990 --> 00:26:32,320
expected of you

349
00:26:35,669 --> 00:26:34,000
in terms of a ground-based subject if

350
00:26:37,669 --> 00:26:35,679
you will to compare to your identical

351
00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:37,679
twin brother well i've already started

352
00:26:42,230 --> 00:26:39,840
started doing some of this you know the

353
00:26:45,029 --> 00:26:42,240
my the expectations that are on me and

354
00:26:46,630 --> 00:26:45,039
uh even last year i'd gone you know i

355
00:26:49,430 --> 00:26:46,640
made my first trip to houston i made

356
00:26:51,350 --> 00:26:49,440
another one here in 2015. i'll do others

357
00:26:54,630 --> 00:26:51,360
while he is in space and then after he

358
00:26:56,149 --> 00:26:54,640
gets back and what nasa does for me i i

359
00:26:59,190 --> 00:26:56,159
just give them a lot of data you know

360
00:27:02,789 --> 00:26:59,200
whether it's an mri or an ultrasound or

361
00:27:05,430 --> 00:27:02,799
20 tubes of blood or some other form of

362
00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:05,440
sample without going into detail

363
00:27:09,669 --> 00:27:07,840
so i provide the data there's about 10

364
00:27:11,269 --> 00:27:09,679
different studies from a bunch of

365
00:27:13,190 --> 00:27:11,279
different universities so you know this

366
00:27:15,909 --> 00:27:13,200
is pretty serious research when you have

367
00:27:18,310 --> 00:27:15,919
harvard medical school involved stanford

368
00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:18,320
university of pennsylvania johns hopkins

369
00:27:22,630 --> 00:27:20,880
and others so i just i just provide the

370
00:27:23,750 --> 00:27:22,640
data and they tell me where i need to be

371
00:27:26,070 --> 00:27:23,760
and when

372
00:27:29,590 --> 00:27:26,080
finally mark the key to a successful

373
00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:29,600
flight pacing being stoic

374
00:27:32,870 --> 00:27:31,360
