great to be up here great rocket launch

4
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:15,660
to space and then the rendezvous to the

5
00:00:21,380 --> 00:00:18,720
space station it's like you know coming

6
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:21,390
to my old home yeah I know you said it

7
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:23,250

our nation as a crew member aboard this

18
00:00:55,310 --> 00:00:52,829
really wonderful space station we have

19
00:00:57,020 --> 00:00:55,320
well it's really exciting to have you

20
00:00:58,340 --> 00:00:57,030
there Scott and I think you know as we

00:01:00,500 --> 00:00:58,350
talked about a little bit when I was

22
00:01:02,510 --> 00:01:00,510
over there and cause in Kazakhstan with

23
00:01:05,149 --> 00:01:02,520
you and Mick IL I think it's really

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:05,159
really important that everybody have an

25
00:01:08,929 --> 00:01:06,570
opportunity to view the two of you

26
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:08,939
working as a team you know this is a

27
00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:10,710
really important step on our road to

28
00:01:16,219 --> 00:01:13,500
Mars you know it you speak of it far

29
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:16,229
better than I ever could so so we're

30
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:17,850
excited about having you and Mick IL

31
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:20,250
there as partners and excited about

32
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:21,360
seeing all the all the things you're

33
00:01:30,929 --> 00:01:27,960
yes sir you know one of the themes that

34
00:01:33,810 --> 00:01:30,939
we all keep harping upon is this is a

35
00:01:37,020 --> 00:01:33,820
you know one crew one space station you

36
00:01:38,190 --> 00:01:37,030
know not just me and and Misha but you

37
00:01:42,570 --> 00:01:38,200
know the three guys that have been up

38
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:42,580
here you know since you know for the

39
00:01:46,260 --> 00:01:44,710
last four months terry virts samantha

40
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:46,270
Christopher ready and anton shkaplerov

41
00:01:51,539 --> 00:01:49,360
and where you know with them and me

42
00:01:53,370 --> 00:01:51,549
Misha and gennady we consider this one

43
00:01:55,230 --> 00:01:53,380
big space station the international

44
00:01:57,029 --> 00:01:55,240
partnership is one of the things that

45
00:01:58,919 --> 00:01:57,039
has made this such a success and that's

46
00:02:01,050 --> 00:01:58,929
one of the things that's most important

47
00:02:02,609 --> 00:02:01,060
to us right now fantastic and I'd love

48
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:02,619
to sit here and talk to you forever but

49
00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:04,450
I understand there's another important

50
00:02:08,490 --> 00:02:07,030
person who's on the line and it's dr.

51
00:02:10,050 --> 00:02:08,500
John Holdren the president's science

52
00:02:12,210 --> 00:02:10,060
advisor and the director of the Office

53
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:12,220
of Science and Technology Policy so I

54
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:14,410
think dr. Holdren has a couple of words

55
00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:16,090
he wants to give you John if if you're

56
00:02:21,140 --> 00:02:18,340
there you got it I am certainly here

57
00:02:24,839 --> 00:02:21,150
Charlie and thank you for letting me

58
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:24,849
take part in this call Scott I want to

59
00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:27,910
start by congratulating you on behalf of

60
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:30,340
President Obama and Vice President Biden

61
00:02:35,250 --> 00:02:33,850
on the successful launch all of us wish

62
00:02:38,009 --> 00:02:35,260
you the best of luck in this

63
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:38,019
unprecedented year-long mission it was

64
00:02:43,590 --> 00:02:40,420
great chatting with you in anticipation

65
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:43,600
of this mission when you came to the

66
00:02:47,819 --> 00:02:44,980
president's State of the Union address

67
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:47,829
in January as a guest of the first lady

68
00:02:54,449 --> 00:02:50,890
and sat in her box now you're up there

69
00:02:58,020 --> 00:02:54,459
and we're watching you with enormous

70
00:03:00,319 --> 00:02:58,030
interest not least because this mission

71
00:03:03,330 --> 00:03:00,329
is bringing a scientific information

72
00:03:05,699 --> 00:03:03,340
that only a prolonged stay on the

73
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:05,709
international space station can provide

74
00:03:10,410 --> 00:03:07,750
and as administrator Bolden just

75
00:03:12,870 --> 00:03:10,420
mentioned and as we all know is a really

76
00:03:14,699 --> 00:03:12,880
important milestone as we work toward

77
00:03:17,460 --> 00:03:14,709
the president's goal of sending humans

78
00:03:19,289 --> 00:03:17,470
to Mars in the mid 2030s we're also very

79
00:03:21,150 --> 00:03:19,299
pleased that you took on the president's

80
00:03:23,729 --> 00:03:21,160
challenge to be active on social media

81
00:03:29,809 --> 00:03:23,739
and Instagram and we enjoyed looking at

82
00:03:37,710 --> 00:03:33,539

the State of the Union address

85
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:42,610
and talking to you about you know what

86
00:03:47,610 --> 00:03:45,010
what the goals of NASA are and the

87
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:47,620
International Space Station program and

88
00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:49,510
our future goals and we appreciate your

89
00:03:55,860 --> 00:03:52,959
support towards those ends and you know

90
00:03:59,520 --> 00:03:55,870
I also really appreciate the the first

91
00:04:02,729 --> 00:03:59,530
lady and the president's attention to to

92
00:04:04,830 --> 00:04:02,739
NASA and the space program and you know

93
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:04,840
I truly believe this is a you know one

94
00:04:10,349 --> 00:04:07,510
of the most amazing orbiting one of the

95
00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:10,359
most amazing facilities you know

96
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:13,480
scientific achievements engineering

97
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:15,250
achievements that we've accomplished and

98
00:04:20,159 --> 00:04:18,370
the amount of work in science up here we

99
00:04:21,870 --> 00:04:20,169
can get done in all different areas of

100
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:21,880
just all different kinds of disciplines

101
00:04:27,060 --> 00:04:24,930
you know whether its exploration or or

102
00:04:30,779 --> 00:04:27,070
experiments that improve life on Earth

103
00:04:32,730 --> 00:04:30,789
is you know very important to to our

104
00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:32,740
people and the you know in the US and

105
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:34,030
the international community as a whole

106
00:04:39,540 --> 00:04:36,970
and hopefully you know the current crews

107
00:04:42,330 --> 00:04:39,550
and previous crews and future cruise and

108
00:04:45,210 --> 00:04:42,340
not just Misha myself will be furthering

109
00:04:48,029 --> 00:04:45,220
our goals to put human humans on Mars

110
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:48,039
some day will you guys are all heroes up

111
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:52,050
there and we're we're depending on you

112
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:54,880
well thanks very much John for for your

113
00:04:59,550 --> 00:04:57,120
greetings to Scott and Scott there is

114
00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:59,560
there is in fact one more person down

115
00:05:03,420 --> 00:05:01,120
here with us I think he's in Tucson of

116
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:03,430
somewhere on the globe that's your twin

117
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:05,409
brother mark I don't know whether you

118
00:05:09,089 --> 00:05:07,150
knew or not well you did know because

119
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:09,099
you saw him he fooled all of us and

120
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:10,449
almost gave us a heart attack when he

121
00:05:14,490 --> 00:05:12,010
came out on launch morning with no

122
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:14,500
mustache so that's the only way I could

123
00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:18,400
tell you two apart so so mark is with us

124
00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:20,409
and Mark if if you would if you could

125
00:05:24,659 --> 00:05:22,720
talk a little bit about the the twin

126
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:24,669
study that that's going to be conducted

127
00:05:31,589 --> 00:05:27,070
with with you and Scott during the year

128
00:05:33,779 --> 00:05:31,599
that he's there yeah thanks charlie and

129
00:05:35,580 --> 00:05:33,789
thanks dr. Holdren it's uh you know was

130
00:05:37,230 --> 00:05:35,590
great first of all for me to be at the

131
00:05:39,060 --> 00:05:37,240
launch to see my brother fly into space

132
00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:39,070
one more time I also want to acknowledge

133
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:41,889
our dad you know he's been a trooper and

134
00:05:47,159 --> 00:05:44,050
he's probably he's the only parent that

135
00:05:48,750 --> 00:05:47,169
has to go through eight times watching

136
00:05:50,969 --> 00:05:48,760
one of their children launch into space

137
00:05:53,340 --> 00:05:50,979
and he handles it so well so Scott and I

138
00:05:56,370 --> 00:05:53,350
both appreciate them you know the

139
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:56,380
twin study is it's going to give us

140
00:06:01,320 --> 00:05:58,330
hopefully information on what we need to

141
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:01,330
one day go to Mars we understand a lot

142
00:06:05,490 --> 00:06:03,970
about the engineering of a Mars flight

143
00:06:07,770 --> 00:06:05,500
lake what it would take to get people

144
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:07,780
there and get them back but we don't

145
00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:09,130
understand a lot about the physiology

146
00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:13,390
and this was a unique opportunity to

147
00:06:19,950 --> 00:06:17,230
study Scott and I him in space I'm very

148
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:19,960
I feel very fortunate to be a small part

149
00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:21,970
of this mission but hopefully the data

150
00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:24,960
that the scientists and physicians

151
00:06:30,060 --> 00:06:28,240
obtained from the two of us I'll give us

152
00:06:31,950 --> 00:06:30,070
a better understanding about the

153
00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:31,960
physiology of the human body in space

154
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:34,720
you know how the unforgivable

155
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:36,850
environment of zero gravity and the

156
00:06:40,890 --> 00:06:39,250
radiation environment affects the human

157
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:40,900
condition because if we are going to

158
00:06:44,340 --> 00:06:42,730
send people to Mars one day it's not

159
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:44,350
going to be a one-year flight it'll

160
00:06:48,660 --> 00:06:47,290
probably be more than two years and

161
00:06:51,390 --> 00:06:48,670
there's a lot to learn there so I'm

162
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:51,400
thankful to be be part of this I'm

163
00:06:56,130 --> 00:06:53,770
behind my brother Scott one hundred

164
00:06:59,460 --> 00:06:56,140
percent as he spends a year in space

165
00:07:02,310 --> 00:06:59,470
that's a big big challenge that you know

166
00:07:04,140 --> 00:07:02,320
I know he didn't take lightly and I

167
00:07:06,540 --> 00:07:04,150
appreciate him doing that for our

168
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:06,550
country hey Mark thank you very much and

169
00:07:10,470 --> 00:07:08,650
Scott I also want to thank you for

170
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:10,480
taking the time to let us come in and

171
00:07:15,570 --> 00:07:13,210
intrude on your work today I know you've

172
00:07:17,820 --> 00:07:15,580
got another group of people that want to

173
00:07:20,220 --> 00:07:17,830
talk to you after we finish up here but

174
00:07:22,380 --> 00:07:20,230
but just want to let you know as I told

175
00:07:24,780 --> 00:07:22,390
you before you launched don't worry

176
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:24,790
about amico and Sam and Sara you had a

177
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:26,770
lot of folks down here who are watching

178
00:07:30,330 --> 00:07:28,630
them and making sure they stay okay let

179
00:07:32,250 --> 00:07:30,340
us know if you need anything but I

180
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:32,260
really want to thank you for taking on

181
00:07:35,730 --> 00:07:34,210
this challenge you know it really is

182
00:07:38,370 --> 00:07:35,740
important that we get it all right

183
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:38,380
