00:00:05,190 --> 00:00:03,760
houston please call station for a voice

3
00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:05,200
check

4
00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:14,950
station

5
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:24,150
uh okay marcia you're a little bit

6
00:00:27,670 --> 00:00:26,160
broken

7
00:00:29,669 --> 00:00:27,680
well i'll

8
00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:29,679
get started i have an echo in my ear as

9
00:00:33,190 --> 00:00:30,720
well

10
00:00:34,709 --> 00:00:33,200
uh greetings gentlemen from the kenned

11
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:34,719
space center

12
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:36,880
i'd like to start off with a progress

13
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:39,840
update how optimistic are you that the

14
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:42,960
progress can be self at this point

15
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:45,120
and is it unfortunately a goner in your

16
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:53,110
well we were both told recently uh by

17
00:00:57,029 --> 00:00:55,760
both the u.s and russian flight control

18
00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:57,039
centers that

19
00:01:02,150 --> 00:00:59,039
uh rus cosmos announced that the

20
00:01:03,349 --> 00:01:02,160
progress will not be docking uh and will

21
00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:03,359
re-enter

22
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:05,840
the earth's atmosphere here some uh some

23
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:07,680
days in the future to be determined but

24
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:09,760
the progress is not coming to this

25
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:11,200
progress is not coming to the space

26
00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:13,119
station

27
00:01:16,950 --> 00:01:15,040
well now tell me

28
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:16,960
what kind of an impact do you expect on

29
00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:19,040
your day-to-day life up there and was

30
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:21,040
there something in particular you had

31
00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:28,390
well we have a a lot of redundancy on

32
00:01:32,469 --> 00:01:30,799
board the space station we we uh you

33
00:01:33,749 --> 00:01:32,479
know the the program plans for these

34
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:33,759
kind of things to happen they're very

35
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:36,000
unfortunate when they do but we do have

36
00:01:40,149 --> 00:01:37,200
um

37
00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:40,159
we do have supplies on board and

38
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:41,280
you know

39
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:42,960
one of the great things about the this

40
00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:44,640
international partnership is that we do

41
00:01:48,789 --> 00:01:46,880
have other vehicles that can resupply

42
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:48,799
the space station you know when we had

43
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:50,560
the columbia accident we were fortunate

44
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:52,880
to have the soyuz to be able to keep the

45
00:01:58,550 --> 00:01:54,960
space station manned and and we have

46
00:02:00,870 --> 00:01:58,560
other vehicles uh now uh spacex htv and

47
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:00,880
hopefully orbital soon that can continue

48
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:04,000
to resupply us so uh we should be okay

49
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:07,360
long-term impact uh you know the both

50
00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:10,319
programs are looking at that right now

51
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:11,840
but i think we're going to be in good

52
00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:23,030
partial liking to like an inclination i

53
00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:24,720
should say was there anything in

54
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:27,040
particular that you'd you're really

55
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:28,959
sorry that you're not going to get at

56
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:36,630
well i'm not familiar with everything

57
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:38,800
that was on the vehicle i know uh the

58
00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:40,800
stuff that was on the

59
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:43,920
the manifested for the u.s operational

60
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:46,560
segment which was a lot of uh clothing

61
00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:50,000
for uh chell uh lindgren and

62
00:02:54,309 --> 00:02:51,599
kimia ue

63
00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:54,319
also some eba hardware

64
00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:55,120
but

65
00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:56,879
you know the important thing is hardware

66
00:03:01,350 --> 00:02:59,360
can be replaced and we'll replace all

67
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:01,360
that hardware and

68
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:03,280
we'll continue to operate the space

69
00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:05,040
station

70
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:06,720
all right well moving on to other

71
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:09,200
matters you're one month into a one year

72
00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:11,120
mission uh what's been the hardest and

73
00:03:20,309 --> 00:03:13,519
easiest thing to get used to so far i'll

74
00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:23,110
well for for me uh nothing's been hard

75
00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:25,519
to get used to

76
00:04:10,789 --> 00:03:26,480
i

77
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:10,799
so

78
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:11,840
good

79
00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:13,120
team

80
00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:15,200
i have don't worry

81
00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:16,639
about anything

82
00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:19,680
of course progress is a

83
00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:21,280
big concern

84
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,629
noise

85
00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:31,830
it slightly changes our plans but as

86
00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:33,440
scott said

87
00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:34,800
we are

88
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:35,840
quiet

89
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:37,120
and we

90
00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:39,840
are 100 percent confident that we will

91
00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:42,560
be living and working very productively

92
00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:45,199
on board of the international space and

93
00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:47,520
up until the time when the next cargo

94
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:49,440
vehicle is going to come

95
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:52,160
and we don't have any problems we have

96
00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:54,320
outstanding psychological support and

97
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,400
everything is fine with the

98
00:05:01,189 --> 00:04:58,800
slight exception of the progress

99
00:05:02,070 --> 00:05:01,199
situation

100
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:02,080
oh

101
00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:03,600
thank you uh what are some of the

102
00:05:12,070 --> 00:05:05,199
biggest changes up there that you've

103
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:12,950
um

104
00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:14,960
when i was here last we had just gotten

105
00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:17,919
the pmm on board the space station and

106
00:05:20,629 --> 00:05:19,199
uh

107
00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:20,639
you know now

108
00:05:26,310 --> 00:05:24,080
we're using it for a lot of our

109
00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:26,320
stowage so that's cleared up a lot of

110
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:27,759
other areas

111
00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:30,080
on board the space station so that's one

112
00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:32,560
change it makes working uh easier when

113
00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:34,960
you don't have as much stuff

114
00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:36,479
you know in your way

115
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:38,479
in the in the working modules so that's

116
00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:39,360
nice

117
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:40,960
we have four space to ground channels

118
00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:42,560
now that's very helpful

119
00:05:47,029 --> 00:05:45,280
um that kind of smooths out operations

120
00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:47,039
with regards to our ability to

121
00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:48,720
communicate with the ground

122
00:05:53,029 --> 00:05:51,520
um we also have ipads that we use for

123
00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:53,039
some procedures and that gives you a

124
00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:55,520
little bit more flexibility on uh

125
00:06:02,629 --> 00:05:59,039
on you know working in uh you know tight

126
00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:02,639
or awkward locations on board and uh you

127
00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:04,160
know having the procedure right there

128
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:06,639
with you so that's uh

129
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:10,240
some of the changes positive changes all

130
00:06:14,309 --> 00:06:12,160
otherwise the space station really looks

131
00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:14,319
a lot like it did

132
00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:16,160
uh you know for me

133
00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:18,400
uh four years ago which is a good sign i

134
00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:20,479
think it's you know great material

135
00:06:24,629 --> 00:06:23,199
condition here on board and

136
00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:24,639
we should be able to continue to do

137
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:27,039
great work here for many many years to

138
00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:33,590
well you mentioned ipads i also heard a

139
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:36,160
noted that you've got a big screen tv so

140
00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:39,680
to speak for uh updates for trainings

141
00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:41,440
for movies

142
00:06:45,749 --> 00:06:43,440
tell me more about that

143
00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:45,759
how you're putting it to use and how

144
00:06:56,870 --> 00:06:54,790
well currently or prior to getting the

145
00:06:58,469 --> 00:06:56,880
hd projector

146
00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:58,479
we

147
00:07:02,230 --> 00:07:00,720
use the laptops and

148
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:02,240
when you're doing a video conference on

149
00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:04,000
the laptops you know the people on the

150
00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:06,080
other end are small if you want to show

151
00:07:10,070 --> 00:07:07,440
us hardware

152
00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:10,080
or you know write on a whiteboard for

153
00:07:13,589 --> 00:07:11,919
instance that kind of thing doing it on

154
00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:13,599
the laptop makes it a little bit more

155
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:15,759
challenging

156
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:18,160
also we have some software that we

157
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:20,720
often use for training on the laptop

158
00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:23,120
and sometimes like for

159
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:26,080
eva procedure reviews you might all get

160
00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:28,080
around one laptop

161
00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:31,120
and you know talk about translation pass

162
00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:32,960
and work sites

163
00:07:36,469 --> 00:07:34,639
on this hardware that are in the

164
00:07:38,629 --> 00:07:36,479
software that we use to

165
00:07:41,029 --> 00:07:38,639
display the outside of the space station

166
00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:41,039
now we can do it on a much bigger

167
00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:42,400
bigger screen

168
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:44,639
and we can also use it to watch

169
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:47,520
television and and watch movies so

170
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:49,120
you know it serves a work purpose it

171
00:07:53,990 --> 00:07:51,440
also serves an entertainment purpose

172
00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:54,000
and it's really a welcome improvement on

173
00:07:57,990 --> 00:07:55,680
board

174
00:08:02,390 --> 00:07:58,000
how big is that screen how many inches

175
00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:04,550
it's pretty the screen itself

176
00:08:09,430 --> 00:08:06,800
we have a screen we put up is pretty big

177
00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:09,440
um but you know it's

178
00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:10,960
we don't leave it up all the time we've

179
00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:13,120
only used it twice to watch

180
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:15,599
a couple of movies it's probably about

181
00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:19,440
i'd say 60 inches maybe 65 inches

182
00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:21,520
but we put it away immediately like i

183
00:08:24,790 --> 00:08:23,440
said it's big it gets in the way but we

184
00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:24,800
also

185
00:08:30,390 --> 00:08:27,280
project this the uh the projector

186
00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:30,400
projects also on a smaller

187
00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:32,560
makeshift screen that we use some fire

188
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:34,159
retardant uh

189
00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:36,000
what's called a ctb

190
00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:38,240
dividers that we have out all the time

191
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:41,120
so the the projector is used more

192
00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:42,880
for other things you know watching the

193
00:08:46,710 --> 00:08:44,720
news and like i said the video

194
00:08:49,590 --> 00:08:46,720
conferences the software where we don't

195
00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:49,600
use the screen itself so um the screen's

196
00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:52,720
great for movies but it's uh not out

197
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:54,720
hardly at all

198
00:08:59,030 --> 00:08:56,880
well my last question

199
00:09:01,430 --> 00:08:59,040
how cool is it to watch a space movie in

200
00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:01,440
space i can't help but ask that have you

201
00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:03,680
tried the espresso yet and

202
00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:05,200
signing off from

203
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:07,279
kennedy space center godspeed and good

204
00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:12,630
thanks marcia yeah we uh we have not

205
00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:14,320
used the espresso machine yet it's in

206
00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:16,320
the process samantha's in the process of

207
00:09:18,630 --> 00:09:17,680
setting it up

208
00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:18,640
and

209
00:09:23,590 --> 00:09:21,440
yeah it's cool to watch movies in space

210
00:09:25,670 --> 00:09:23,600
interesting watching uh you know a movie

211
00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:25,680
about the space station in space

212
00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:28,240
uh really uh impressed at how realistic

213
00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:30,240
uh the the inside and outside of the

214
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:32,720
space station looked we've all seen that

215
00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:34,720
movie before so it wasn't new but it was

216
00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:36,880
uh interesting to see it from this

217
00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:45,110
station this is houston acr that

218
00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:47,279
concludes the associated press portion

219
00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:49,600
of the event please stand by for a voice

220
00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:55,990
station this is westwood one how do you

221
00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:03,190
westwood one we hear you loud and clear

222
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:05,600
great

223
00:10:09,269 --> 00:10:07,360
joining us from the international space

224
00:10:11,590 --> 00:10:09,279
station astronaut scott kelly and

225
00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:11,600
cosmonaut mikhail kornienko crew members

226
00:10:16,870 --> 00:10:14,560
with a one-year mission aboard the iss

227
00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:16,880
the most comprehensive test yet of long

228
00:10:26,389 --> 00:10:19,360
duration space flight and zero gravity

229
00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:27,910
scott good morning good morning to you

230
00:10:31,990 --> 00:10:29,760
i'm not sure where you are you might

231
00:10:34,389 --> 00:10:32,000
be in los angeles but greetings to you

232
00:10:37,829 --> 00:10:34,399
there in uh in the u.s

233
00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:39,670
you've both been in space for a month

234
00:10:44,949 --> 00:10:41,839
now and won't return to earth until the

235
00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:44,959
spring of 2016. how far away does that

236
00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:52,310
well i'm trying not to think about how

237
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,399
far away that is because it is pretty it

238
00:10:58,069 --> 00:10:56,399
is pretty far um

239
00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:58,079
you know i'm kind of taking this uh one

240
00:11:02,710 --> 00:11:00,880
day at a time looking ahead uh you know

241
00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:02,720
a little bit into the future for work

242
00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:05,279
related and planning purposes but trying

243
00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:07,839
not to you know count down the days

244
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:09,040
um

245
00:11:12,389 --> 00:11:10,480
you know to

246
00:11:13,829 --> 00:11:12,399
when i get home you know a friend of

247
00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:13,839
mine suggested maybe it's better to

248
00:11:17,829 --> 00:11:16,320
count the days count up versus counting

249
00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:17,839
down haven't started doing that yet

250
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:20,720
either but uh you know a year is a long

251
00:11:25,430 --> 00:11:23,760
time this is close to a year here um but

252
00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:25,440
i haven't started thinking about you

253
00:11:29,190 --> 00:11:27,040
know the end of it yet

254
00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:29,200
your physiological changes are gonna be

255
00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:31,040
compared to twin brother retired

256
00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:34,079
astronaut mark kelly back on earth so uh

257
00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:36,240
you get the glory here scott puts a new

258
00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:44,470
my brother's uh really happy that he can

259
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:47,440
still participate uh with our program

260
00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:50,000
with the space program in nasa uh in

261
00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:51,600
this study so

262
00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:53,360
uh you know he retired a number of years

263
00:11:58,710 --> 00:11:56,000
ago had a very uh you know productive

264
00:12:00,710 --> 00:11:58,720
and uh successful career at nasa so he's

265
00:12:02,949 --> 00:12:00,720
just happy to be a part of it and uh i

266
00:12:04,949 --> 00:12:02,959
am too you know we just

267
00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:04,959
you know often in life you serve in

268
00:12:08,069 --> 00:12:06,240
different roles and this is these are

269
00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:08,079
the roles we have right now

270
00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:14,870
uh

271
00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:17,040
neither

272
00:12:30,629 --> 00:12:22,550
is that is there ever a question scott

273
00:12:33,430 --> 00:12:31,509
well

274
00:12:35,190 --> 00:12:33,440
you know i wouldn't say board because

275
00:12:37,269 --> 00:12:35,200
it's a you know very interesting

276
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:37,279
environment there's a lot of work to do

277
00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:38,639
here

278
00:12:41,269 --> 00:12:40,160
we do a lot of

279
00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:41,279
great

280
00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:45,110
but

281
00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:47,920
you do never leave you never get to

282
00:12:51,910 --> 00:12:49,920
leave your place of work so that makes

283
00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:51,920
it somewhat of a somewhat of a mental

284
00:12:56,069 --> 00:12:53,920
challenge there where you you're kind of

285
00:12:59,030 --> 00:12:56,079
always on you always feel like

286
00:13:00,949 --> 00:12:59,040
you can never relax completely so i

287
00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:00,959
would never say the place gets boring

288
00:13:04,790 --> 00:13:02,000
but

289
00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:04,800
you know you do never get to leave

290
00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:06,800
how is the exercise equipment we

291
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:08,480
understand you spend a good deal of time

292
00:13:13,829 --> 00:13:10,880
on both the arid the advanced resistive

293
00:13:18,310 --> 00:13:13,839
exercise device and the treadmill named

294
00:13:21,670 --> 00:13:19,829
the exercise you know we have that

295
00:13:23,590 --> 00:13:21,680
exercise equipment we also have exercise

296
00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:23,600
equipment in the uh russian segment that

297
00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:25,600
the cosmonauts use they have a treadmill

298
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:26,480
and a

299
00:13:30,470 --> 00:13:28,320
cycle ergometer and we have a cycle

300
00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:30,480
ergometer here as well

301
00:13:35,990 --> 00:13:33,120
um the exercise equipment's great uh

302
00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:36,000
this particularly the resistive exercise

303
00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:37,360
device we have

304
00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:39,839
um it makes it seem like you're lifting

305
00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:42,399
real weight in space and often when you

306
00:13:47,509 --> 00:13:44,560
have a you know weightlifting device on

307
00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:47,519
earth and it's not uh you know something

308
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:48,959
or something that doesn't use real

309
00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:51,360
weight you can all often tell this feels

310
00:13:55,829 --> 00:13:52,880
like the real thing which is really a

311
00:13:57,269 --> 00:13:55,839
testament to the the great uh team that

312
00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:57,279
built this

313
00:14:02,069 --> 00:13:59,920
what's called a red advanced resistive

314
00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:02,079
exercise device that you know we all

315
00:14:04,629 --> 00:14:03,440
come to love up here on the space

316
00:14:06,790 --> 00:14:04,639
station

317
00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:06,800
do you think the changes in your body

318
00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:08,800
over this period of time will be

319
00:14:22,150 --> 00:14:18,870
you know there's uh a lot we know

320
00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:22,160
already about the the changes that occur

321
00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:25,519
um over time in space we know we lose uh

322
00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:28,399
bone mass and we you know exercise a lot

323
00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:30,480
to mitigate that we lose

324
00:14:35,829 --> 00:14:32,399
we can lose muscle mass but also the

325
00:14:37,269 --> 00:14:35,839
exercise prevents that we have

326
00:14:39,269 --> 00:14:37,279
you know recently discovered a

327
00:14:41,269 --> 00:14:39,279
phenomenon with people's vision and

328
00:14:43,030 --> 00:14:41,279
swelling of the optic nerve and other

329
00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:43,040
structural changes that occur within the

330
00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:45,440
eye and that's something that we're you

331
00:14:49,110 --> 00:14:46,480
know

332
00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:49,120
very hard at work investigating uh

333
00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:50,720
trying to learn more about it to come up

334
00:14:54,230 --> 00:14:52,320
with countermeasures so

335
00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:54,240
uh with regards to that i don't know

336
00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:56,639
what the results will be if it's uh you

337
00:15:00,550 --> 00:14:58,800
know we're gonna see similar things to a

338
00:15:03,509 --> 00:15:00,560
six-month flight or if there's some

339
00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:03,519
increase or you know potentially that

340
00:15:08,069 --> 00:15:06,560
um those changes level off at a certain

341
00:15:08,949 --> 00:15:08,079
point that's something we're looking at

342
00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:08,959
also

343
00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:10,560
you know the effect of uh you know

344
00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:12,480
radiation in the space environment on

345
00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:15,600
our on us on a genetic uh level with

346
00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:17,839
regards to you know our rna and dna

347
00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:19,680
that's something that this study with my

348
00:15:23,030 --> 00:15:21,920
brother is looking at so

349
00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:23,040
you know i think

350
00:15:26,389 --> 00:15:24,240
some of the things will probably be

351
00:15:28,389 --> 00:15:26,399
similar to the six-month flight and some

352
00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:28,399
may be very much different and that's

353
00:15:33,829 --> 00:15:31,199
why we're here uh investigating these

354
00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:33,839
things to find out and find ways that we

355
00:15:39,269 --> 00:15:36,959
can mitigate these negative effects

356
00:15:41,110 --> 00:15:39,279
scott you watched the movie gravity this

357
00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:41,120
week isn't that kind of like a deep sea

358
00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:49,350
meg it kind of is you know we had all

359
00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:50,959
seen the movie before i thought it'd be

360
00:15:55,749 --> 00:15:52,480
interesting to watch it

361
00:15:57,990 --> 00:15:55,759
up here because it is pretty fascinating

362
00:16:00,790 --> 00:15:58,000
the level of detail that they uh they

363
00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:00,800
were able to recreate in the movie and

364
00:16:04,389 --> 00:16:02,720
how it a lot of it does look very

365
00:16:06,710 --> 00:16:04,399
similar to the space station so it was a

366
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:06,720
lot of fun to be able to watch that

367
00:16:11,749 --> 00:16:09,360
movie on the space station

368
00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:11,759
so many great exploits in

369
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:14,480
space starting with yuri gagarin 54

370
00:16:18,790 --> 00:16:17,519
years ago neil armstrong and buzz aldrin

371
00:16:21,990 --> 00:16:18,800
uh

372
00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:22,000
46 years ago nearly 17 years since the

373
00:16:27,030 --> 00:16:24,560
iss was launched what do you suppose

374
00:16:33,189 --> 00:16:27,040
will be the next giant leap for mankind

375
00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:36,389
well you know i i don't know what it'll

376
00:16:43,350 --> 00:16:37,600
be

377
00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:43,360
some time in my lifetime going to uh

378
00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:44,800
you know having people

379
00:16:50,550 --> 00:16:47,600
step foot on mars i think that's a a

380
00:16:52,550 --> 00:16:50,560
great destination and goal for us i hope

381
00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:52,560
that this space station and the research

382
00:16:58,230 --> 00:16:56,639
we do here will help make that happen um

383
00:17:00,230 --> 00:16:58,240
you know this is a great facility for

384
00:17:02,629 --> 00:17:00,240
doing all kinds of research

385
00:17:04,470 --> 00:17:02,639
you know i think one of the the best

386
00:17:05,990 --> 00:17:04,480
experiments about the space station is

387
00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:06,000
the space station itself you know

388
00:17:09,350 --> 00:17:07,120
building a

389
00:17:11,350 --> 00:17:09,360
facility that allows us to live and work

390
00:17:13,590 --> 00:17:11,360
for long periods of time

391
00:17:16,549 --> 00:17:13,600
in this very harsh environment whether

392
00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:16,559
it's producing water from our urine and

393
00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:19,760
using that water to produce oxygen and

394
00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:22,160
use it for us to consume to sustain our

395
00:17:27,909 --> 00:17:24,400
lives to scrubbing the atmosphere of

396
00:17:32,549 --> 00:17:30,789
producing electricity from the solar

397
00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:32,559
arrays and keeping all these systems

398
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:35,120
operating uh you know

399
00:17:41,590 --> 00:17:38,400
24 7 365 days a year like you said for

400
00:17:42,630 --> 00:17:41,600
17 years is an amazing engineering feat

401
00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:42,640
and something that's going to be

402
00:17:46,789 --> 00:17:44,000
critical to us

403
00:17:48,549 --> 00:17:46,799
uh you know going further from earth uh

404
00:17:50,390 --> 00:17:48,559
earth someday

405
00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:50,400
a lot of us would like to be up there

406
00:17:56,150 --> 00:17:53,039
with you scott uh do you think space

407
00:18:00,470 --> 00:17:56,160
tourism uh will actually happen in our

408
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:02,549
well it's been happening for for many

409
00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:05,360
years now we uh the russian space agency

410
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:08,160
ruskosmos has been flying tourists here

411
00:18:12,390 --> 00:18:09,760
aboard the uh

412
00:18:14,310 --> 00:18:12,400
space station i'm not exactly sure what

413
00:18:15,510 --> 00:18:14,320
number we would be up to yet seven or

414
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:15,520
eight

415
00:18:25,909 --> 00:18:23,280
we've been doing it i'd i'd love for it

416
00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:25,919
to be more frequent

417
00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:28,480
to have people be able to come to this

418
00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:29,600
you know

419
00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:33,280
a harsh environment but a pretty amazing

420
00:18:36,310 --> 00:18:35,440
place and

421
00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:36,320
you know

422
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:38,080
it'd be great if some of these

423
00:18:41,510 --> 00:18:40,000
commercial companies get off the ground

424
00:18:44,070 --> 00:18:41,520
and hopefully they'll be doing that soon

425
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:44,080
where we can have more paying customers

426
00:18:48,230 --> 00:18:45,760
fly

427
00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:48,240
in into suborbital space but also into

428
00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:50,160
low earth orbit someday

429
00:18:53,669 --> 00:18:51,760
scott and mikhail we send our best

430
00:18:55,270 --> 00:18:53,679
wishes for the duration of your mission

431
00:19:13,510 --> 00:18:55,280
and uh look forward to talking to you

432
00:19:17,430 --> 00:19:15,190
thank you very much for this interview

433
00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:17,440
thank you for your kind words
