00:01:19,180 --> 00:01:17,810
tomorrow a little on the website if

26
00:01:21,850 --> 00:01:19,190
you're going to do any biking from

27
00:01:22,990 --> 00:01:21,860
Pittsburgh to Syracuse into Boston okay

28
00:01:24,999 --> 00:01:23,000
so here's a look at where we could see

29
00:01:27,010 --> 00:01:25,009
record highs on Sunday ranging from the

30
00:01:28,749 --> 00:01:27,020
north east islip rich Virginia all the

31
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:28,759
way down into the south we're talking

32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:31,250
90s potentially in richmond and Raleigh

33
00:01:34,660 --> 00:01:33,050
that's right and you can see

34
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:34,670
Philadelphia's and thunderstorms by

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:37,729
Sunday showers on Saturday morning all

36
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:39,050
right come take a look at this we got a

37
00:01:43,630 --> 00:01:41,360
pretty cool space I view of typhoon

38
00:01:46,150 --> 00:01:43,640
Newell as it approaches the Philippines

39
00:01:48,730 --> 00:01:46,160
right as it passes over the Sulu Sea and

40
00:01:49,930 --> 00:01:48,740
this is posted by astronaut terry virts

41
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:49,940
from aboard the International Space

42
00:01:53,740 --> 00:01:51,830
Station he's made it serious habit of

43
00:01:57,430 --> 00:01:53,750
posting some pretty awesome pictures and

44
00:02:00,340 --> 00:01:57,440
videos and speaking of that's right

45
00:02:02,859 --> 00:02:00,350
speaking of terry virts and scott kelly

46
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:02,869
they are our guests we are so thrilled

47
00:02:06,999 --> 00:02:04,610
to have them they're traveling about

48
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:07,009
1,700 miles per hour orbiting the earth

49
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:11,090
every 92 minutes on the ISS thank you so

50
00:02:14,410 --> 00:02:12,530
much room with us this morning you guys

51
00:02:16,090 --> 00:02:14,420
and you really become kind of rock stars

52
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:16,100
with all these pickups pictures that

53
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:17,510
you're posting Terry how do you choose

54
00:02:21,130 --> 00:02:19,250
which ones that you're going to post

55
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:21,140
because you have to have just millions

56
00:02:27,010 --> 00:02:25,550
of incredible shots well good morning

57
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:27,020
Stephanie and Al and all the listeners

58
00:02:31,150 --> 00:02:28,910
on the Weather Channel it is tough to

59
00:02:33,850 --> 00:02:31,160
pick because like you said the views

60
00:02:35,650 --> 00:02:33,860
from here pretty spectacular of course

61
00:02:37,210 --> 00:02:35,660
the weather we see with typhoons and

62
00:02:38,770 --> 00:02:37,220
different thunderstorms we just passed

63
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:38,780
over Texas where there was an amazing

64
00:02:42,220 --> 00:02:40,130
amount of lightning so it's hard to pick

65
00:02:47,770 --> 00:02:42,230
there's so many there's so many good

66
00:02:53,449 --> 00:02:50,960
mr. Scott you just got up there and it

67
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:53,459
just in time to see tropical storm Ana

68
00:03:00,320 --> 00:02:56,250
what was that like looking at a tropical

69
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:00,330
storm moving onshore I love it you just

70
00:03:09,470 --> 00:03:07,530
drip the bike over well it was pretty

71
00:03:10,940 --> 00:03:09,480
spectacular view out the window I you

72
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:10,950
know what I found interesting about that

73
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:14,489
was a tropical storm so early in our

74
00:03:19,539 --> 00:03:17,250
season so somewhat surprising to see it

75
00:03:22,339 --> 00:03:19,549
I understand that's not an indication of

76
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:22,349
you know what kind of tropical systems

77
00:03:26,330 --> 00:03:24,930
will have four for the entire season I

78
00:03:27,890 --> 00:03:26,340
learned that from you guys on the

79
00:03:30,890 --> 00:03:27,900
Weather Channel watching it up here the

80
00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:30,900
other day but a pretty spectacular sight

81
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:38,400
nonetheless Scott what type of research

82
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:40,230
are you going to be conducting over the

83
00:03:49,580 --> 00:03:46,910
next year we do all kinds of research

84
00:03:52,069 --> 00:03:49,590
while I'm here for for a year there's

85
00:03:54,830 --> 00:03:52,079
over 400 different scientific

86
00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:54,840
investigations going on and they're in

87
00:04:00,319 --> 00:03:56,310
different categories you know some of

88
00:04:03,020 --> 00:04:00,329
them look at exploration and how we fly

89
00:04:05,059 --> 00:04:03,030
further from our planet than we've done

90
00:04:08,150 --> 00:04:05,069
previously and those investigations are

91
00:04:10,610 --> 00:04:08,160
in human physiology a lot but some of

92
00:04:13,819 --> 00:04:10,620
them are investigations and you know how

93
00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:13,829
we we can perform up here or cognitive

94
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:16,560
abilities excuse me but also you know

95
00:04:20,659 --> 00:04:18,810
having systems that can maintain our

96
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:20,669
lives for long periods of time and then

97
00:04:24,770 --> 00:04:22,530
the other investigations are more

98
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:24,780
earth-based how to improve life on Earth

99
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:25,850
and those are in all different

100
00:04:31,129 --> 00:04:28,050
categories whether it's you know

101
00:04:33,730 --> 00:04:31,139
medicine and and producing scientific

102
00:04:37,339 --> 00:04:33,740
results that will help us treat diseases

103
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:37,349
material science basic research physics

104
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:46,150
and Terry your original return dates

105
00:04:51,219 --> 00:04:48,650
been extended to june early June how

106
00:04:52,990 --> 00:04:51,229
come and when you get on ground what's

107
00:04:59,260 --> 00:04:53,000
the first what's the weather you're most

108
00:05:03,909 --> 00:04:59,270
looking forward to enjoying well the we

109
00:05:05,589 --> 00:05:03,919
had a the second answer is I keep on

110
00:05:07,809 --> 00:05:05,599
hearing we land in Kazakhstan which is

111
00:05:08,980 --> 00:05:07,819
in the middle of Asia the Central Asian

112
00:05:10,749 --> 00:05:08,990
step and i keep on here and how

113
00:05:12,339 --> 00:05:10,759
wonderful the weather is there in june i

114
00:05:14,589 --> 00:05:12,349
was there last May and it was pretty

115
00:05:15,820 --> 00:05:14,599
great so I'm looking forward to to the

116
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:15,830
weather when i land and i think the

117
00:05:19,570 --> 00:05:17,930
smells of the desert is something that

118
00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:19,580
we don't have that up here it's been

119
00:05:23,529 --> 00:05:21,889
almost it'll be over six months since i

120
00:05:26,170 --> 00:05:23,539
last smelled earth so that that's going

121
00:05:27,490 --> 00:05:26,180
to be definitely and i think an

122
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:27,500
overwhelming experience i'm looking

123
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:29,810
forward to but our mission got extended

124
00:05:35,740 --> 00:05:32,120
because we had a failure recently of a

125
00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:35,750
progress a Russian cargo ship and when

126
00:05:41,290 --> 00:05:38,630
that happened the launch of the next

127
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:41,300

131
00:05:58,899 --> 00:05:56,719
weather channel portion of the event

132
00:06:02,680 --> 00:05:58,909
please stand by for a voice check from

133
00:06:07,180 --> 00:06:02,690

to see you can you tell me a little bit

137
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:16,639

now and know what your day has been like

139
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:24,620
so far good morning Jeff we are in the

airlock right now this is where we get

141
00:06:31,089 --> 00:06:28,819
ready for and do our space walks these

142
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:31,099
are our spacesuits right here so right

143
00:06:35,469 --> 00:06:33,289
now Scott and I are not planned to do

144
00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:35,479
one I did one on the last part of my

145
00:06:39,070 --> 00:06:37,039
mission with butch wilmore and Scott's

146
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:39,080
going to do several here in a few months

147
00:06:43,059 --> 00:06:41,090
but we get the equipment the spacesuits

148
00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:43,069
ready here in that part of the airlock

149
00:06:46,719 --> 00:06:45,199
right there we close the hatch depress

150
00:06:50,529 --> 00:06:46,729
all the air out of it and go out in

151
00:06:55,650 --> 00:06:50,539
space from there where are we in your in

152
00:07:03,969 --> 00:06:58,330
hey good morning Jeff good to talk to

153
00:07:07,659 --> 00:07:03,979
you it is 1046 in the morning and we are

154
00:07:09,939 --> 00:07:07,669
on gmt so we get up around 6am our

155
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:09,949
workday starts generally about sometime

156
00:07:15,490 --> 00:07:13,310
between seven and seven-thirty all of us

157
00:07:18,460 --> 00:07:15,500
are kind of on do different activities

158
00:07:20,590 --> 00:07:18,470
sometimes together but a lot of times

159
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:20,600
separately so far today for me

160
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:23,810
personally I had some exercise my first

161
00:07:29,290 --> 00:07:25,850
of two exercise sessions running on the

162
00:07:35,650 --> 00:07:29,300
treadmill for about 30 minutes and then

163
00:07:38,740 --> 00:07:35,660
I did some some research this experiment

164
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:38,750
called fine motor skills as a cognitive

165
00:07:43,719 --> 00:07:41,090
experiment to investigate how our

166
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:43,729
cognitive abilities change over the long

167
00:07:46,779 --> 00:07:45,530
term and a few other little odds and

168
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:46,789
ends activities that probably aren't

169
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:48,530
worth going into but that are very

170
00:07:55,450 --> 00:07:52,910
important for you know maintaining the

171
00:07:59,890 --> 00:07:55,460
space station and maintaining our lives

172
00:08:02,100 --> 00:07:59,900
up here now you were expecting the

173
00:08:05,529 --> 00:08:02,110
docking of the russian progress ship

174
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:05,539
just a couple of a week or so ago how

175
00:08:09,339 --> 00:08:07,910
big a problem if at all is it that the

176
00:08:11,020 --> 00:08:09,349
ship didn't arrive and was there

177
00:08:12,730 --> 00:08:11,030
anything aboard that you guys were

178
00:08:18,810 --> 00:08:12,740
especially looking forward to any

179
00:08:21,310 --> 00:08:18,820
personal items well actually this is a

180
00:08:24,310 --> 00:08:21,320
testament to how well stocked the space

181
00:08:26,020 --> 00:08:24,320
station is we did lose the resupply ship

182
00:08:28,570 --> 00:08:26,030
but we have enough supplies on board to

183
00:08:31,330 --> 00:08:28,580
stay here for many months food and water

184
00:08:32,740 --> 00:08:31,340
and clothes and that kind of stuff we're

185
00:08:35,649 --> 00:08:32,750
still able to do all of our scientific

186
00:08:38,050 --> 00:08:35,659
experiments so it was a loss and of

187
00:08:39,909 --> 00:08:38,060
course it it's going to affect the

188
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:39,919
future but we were able to cope with it

189
00:08:43,329 --> 00:08:41,330
and like i said there's a lot plenty of

190
00:08:46,269 --> 00:08:43,339
margin on board so there's no immediate

191
00:08:47,910 --> 00:08:46,279
danger that was a Russian ship so our

192
00:08:51,130 --> 00:08:47,920
cosmonaut friends we have a crew of six

193
00:08:52,690 --> 00:08:51,140
three of them are russian cosmonauts so

194
00:08:53,949 --> 00:08:52,700
most of the equipment was for them most

195
00:08:56,260 --> 00:08:53,959
of the food was for them so we've been

196
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:56,270
sharing as much as we can and we've had

197
00:08:58,990 --> 00:08:57,770
failures in the past of American

198
00:09:01,030 --> 00:08:59,000
vehicles and of course they share with

199
00:09:04,810 --> 00:09:01,040
us it's a pretty cool partnership to be

200
00:09:07,150 --> 00:09:04,820
able to work together like that Scott

201
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:07,160
you're only two months in less than two

202
00:09:09,860 --> 00:09:08,130
months in out of year

203
00:09:12,530 --> 00:09:09,870
your year in space but can you tell us

204
00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:12,540
anything about any of the biomedical

205
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:14,520
experiments you've done and any of them

206
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:21,810
that that involved marked so you know

207
00:09:26,660 --> 00:09:23,330
there's a lot of research that is

208
00:09:29,180 --> 00:09:26,670
involved in my stay up here you know

209
00:09:30,860 --> 00:09:29,190
like I was said to the weather channel

210
00:09:32,780 --> 00:09:30,870
I'll know if you're listed in over 400

211
00:09:34,850 --> 00:09:32,790
different experiments throughout the

212
00:09:38,450 --> 00:09:34,860
period of time here in various

213
00:09:42,410 --> 00:09:38,460
disciplines for me personally there's

214
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:42,420
the one-year research which has a lot of

215
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:46,110
imaging associated with it ultrasound of

216
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:48,210
various parts of my body my heart

217
00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:50,490
arteries in my neck and brain and

218
00:09:57,020 --> 00:09:53,760
muscles and some of that is related to

219
00:09:59,240 --> 00:09:57,030
the the science or involves the science

220
00:10:02,960 --> 00:09:59,250
that's being done with my brother and I

221
00:10:04,850 --> 00:10:02,970
the comparative science which is most

222
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:04,860
cases genetic-based so it's samples

223
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:07,710
blood urine other samples that we our

224
00:10:14,210 --> 00:10:10,890
bodies give off and I've done those

225
00:10:18,530 --> 00:10:14,220
collections twice and done a bunch of

226
00:10:20,660 --> 00:10:18,540
the ultrasound tests also a lot of tests

227
00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:20,670
on my eyes in my vision but the stuff

228
00:10:25,310 --> 00:10:22,560
that involves my brother is some of the

229
00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:25,320
ultrasound work and a lot of the human

230
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:28,800
samples and those don't always sound

231
00:10:33,340 --> 00:10:31,290
like fun so what do you guys do for fun

232
00:10:40,820 --> 00:10:33,350
what's the most enjoyable recreation

233
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:40,830
recreational part of your day well you

234
00:10:45,050 --> 00:10:42,450
know unfortunately there's not a whole

235
00:10:47,450 --> 00:10:45,060
lot of time for fun we have a pretty

236
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:47,460
good work schedule you know I don't

237
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:49,650
think people realize you know how hard

238
00:10:56,140 --> 00:10:52,530
we work up here then we basically work

239
00:10:59,270 --> 00:10:56,150
at least I do from the time I get up

240
00:11:01,100 --> 00:10:59,280
until about an hour or so before I go to

241
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:01,110
sleep and you know these other two guys

242
00:11:08,420 --> 00:11:05,850
work harder than I do so yeah not a lot

243
00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:08,430
of free time for fun but we you know we

244
00:11:13,450 --> 00:11:10,380
have a chance to you know watch the

245
00:11:15,860 --> 00:11:13,460
movies too you certainly enjoy the view

246
00:11:18,580 --> 00:11:15,870
to read although I haven't read anything

247
00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:18,590
yet book wise i need to start that

248
00:11:25,570 --> 00:11:22,160
and you know a lot of time is spent

249
00:11:27,580 --> 00:11:25,580
communicating with folks on earth and

250
00:11:29,650 --> 00:11:27,590
Terry how do you recalibrate your

251
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:29,660
emotions when you were just a week or so

252
00:11:34,030 --> 00:11:31,490
away from going home and now the delays

253
00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:34,040
mean it'll probably be at least another

254
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:39,500
month or so yeah that's always a tough

255
00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:41,930
one for military folks on deployment

256
00:11:46,810 --> 00:11:44,240
whenever a deployment gets extended at

257
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:46,820
the last minute that can be tough the

258
00:11:52,690 --> 00:11:50,000
hardest hit people are my family back on

259
00:11:55,270 --> 00:11:52,700
earth it's it's really tough on them for

260
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:55,280
me I just kind of I'm here I'm doing my

261
00:11:59,230 --> 00:11:57,890
job it's more the same it's only going

262
00:12:02,260 --> 00:11:59,240
to be a few more weeks you know we'll be

263
00:12:04,450 --> 00:12:02,270
back in June and so I just try not to

264
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:04,460
think about it and just press on with my

265
00:12:08,290 --> 00:12:06,530
daily activities and keep on going the

266
00:12:12,910 --> 00:12:08,300
hardest like I said the hardest i think

267
00:12:15,550 --> 00:12:12,920
is for the folks on earth uh there aside

268
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:15,560
from family family and friends what do

269
00:12:19,420 --> 00:12:17,930
you guys miss most about Earth if you

270
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:19,430
think about what you what's going on

271
00:12:27,070 --> 00:12:20,750
down there is there one particular thing

272
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:27,080
that pops to mind you know whether we do

273
00:12:32,350 --> 00:12:29,290
not have weather up here it's uh it's

274
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:32,360
sunny and low humidity and 75 every day

275
00:12:38,620 --> 00:12:35,330
and so just this the sounds and smell of

276
00:12:40,510 --> 00:12:38,630
rain or snow or a sunny warm day you

277
00:12:42,610 --> 00:12:40,520
know we don't get that it's an

278
00:12:44,190 --> 00:12:42,620
interesting thing but a lot of ways I've

279
00:12:46,450 --> 00:12:44,200
forgotten what weather's like and I've

280
00:12:49,270 --> 00:12:46,460
really forgotten what gravity feels like

281
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:49,280
I'll be reintroduced to that here in a

282
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:55,130
few weeks got the UN Misha see get to

283
00:12:58,690 --> 00:12:56,810
see a great deal of each other do you

284
00:13:00,010 --> 00:12:58,700
get to work together on the one-year

285
00:13:01,780 --> 00:13:00,020
experiment I know there are two

286
00:13:03,850 --> 00:13:01,790
different wings of the station but you

287
00:13:08,980 --> 00:13:03,860
guys are both in the in the one year

288
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:08,990
study you know we we do consider

289
00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:13,970
ourselves 11 individual crew and you

290
00:13:17,650 --> 00:13:15,440
know for a lot of reasons you know we

291
00:13:20,110 --> 00:13:17,660
have to respond in an emergency together

292
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:20,120
as a unified team we you know fly

293
00:13:24,490 --> 00:13:22,880
together in the Soyuz but a lot of our

294
00:13:27,780 --> 00:13:24,500
activities are done separately it's

295
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:27,790
almost like you know two organizations

296
00:13:31,550 --> 00:13:29,810
sharing two different wings of a

297
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:31,560
laboratory let's say so

298
00:13:37,010 --> 00:13:34,410
Oh Misha sleeps in the in the u.s.

299
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:37,020
segment and the cosmonauts do some

300
00:13:41,630 --> 00:13:38,610
activities down here but for the most

301
00:13:43,250 --> 00:13:41,640
part you know their work day is spent in

302
00:13:45,110 --> 00:13:43,260
the Russian segment and our work day

303
00:13:47,450 --> 00:13:45,120
spent in what's considered the u.s.

304
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:47,460
operational segment which is not only

305
00:13:53,630 --> 00:13:50,130
the u.s. modules but the European Space

306
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:53,640
Agency module and the two Japanese

307
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:56,370
modules we have up here so you know we

308
00:13:59,900 --> 00:13:58,050
do see each other a lot but a lot of

309
00:14:02,870 --> 00:13:59,910
times it's just seeing him in passing as

310
00:14:05,210 --> 00:14:02,880
he's coming going to and from work in

311
00:14:07,070 --> 00:14:05,220
the morning and in the evening and the

312
00:14:08,570 --> 00:14:07,080
other times a day he comes down to his

313
00:14:10,610 --> 00:14:08,580
crew quarters to maybe get on the

314
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:10,620
computer or make a phone call or take a

315
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:12,210
little break from his work day so it's

316
00:14:16,570 --> 00:14:13,410
almost like you know we just kind of

317
00:14:19,010 --> 00:14:16,580
wave in passing a lot of the times

318
00:14:21,590 --> 00:14:19,020
another unplanned development in this

319
00:14:23,510 --> 00:14:21,600
trip was the the scrubbing of sarah

320
00:14:24,980 --> 00:14:23,520
brightman trip to the station how big a

321
00:14:27,290 --> 00:14:24,990
disappointment was this you guys were

322
00:14:34,450 --> 00:14:27,300
about to get a an international star up

323
00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:37,930
well I wouldn't say I was disappointed

324
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:40,160
for me I was kind of disappointed for

325
00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:44,090
her you know because I had grown to be

326
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:46,160
friendly with her and you know I know

327
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:48,610
how much she was looking forward to this

328
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:51,650
it's great to get visitors up here you

329
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:53,450
know you you like the people you're

330
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:55,070
flying with but you also would like to

331
00:15:00,900 --> 00:14:57,770
see new faces and we're not sure who's

332
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:00,910
going to be put in that in that seat

333
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:03,650
when the Soyuz launches here in the

334
00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:06,110
September no was the original plan but

335
00:15:10,570 --> 00:15:08,510
whoever it is we will welcome them just

336
00:15:12,820 --> 00:15:10,580
as much as we would welcome Sarah

337
00:15:14,950 --> 00:15:12,830
Brightman so you know on one hand it's a

338
00:15:16,420 --> 00:15:14,960
you know I'm sorry that she's not going

339
00:15:17,890 --> 00:15:16,430
to make it and fulfill her dream of

340
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:17,900
flying in space but on the other hand

341
00:15:23,370 --> 00:15:20,210
you know someone else someone else will

342
00:15:25,740 --> 00:15:23,380
and that's that's a great thing for them

343
00:15:28,690 --> 00:15:25,750
Terry where are there any additional

344
00:15:29,770 --> 00:15:28,700
projects you've picked up given that

345
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:29,780
you're going to be there for another

346
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:31,850
month or is the workload such that

347
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:33,650
there's and there's you never have to

348
00:15:40,390 --> 00:15:38,510
worry about busying yourself well yes

349
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:40,400
for sure like Scott was saying earlier

350
00:15:45,250 --> 00:15:42,530
work day is pretty much all day every

351
00:15:46,540 --> 00:15:45,260
day but I think we're in this phase now

352
00:15:48,130 --> 00:15:46,550
we used to be and what we called the

353
00:15:50,110 --> 00:15:48,140
assembly phase of station then we're in

354
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:50,120
utilization I kind of look at this as a

355
00:15:54,340 --> 00:15:52,610
reconfiguration phase we're moving some

356
00:15:55,630 --> 00:15:54,350
modules around the spacewalks that I did

357
00:15:57,130 --> 00:15:55,640
and the spacewalks that Scott are going

358
00:15:59,350 --> 00:15:57,140
to do are getting ready for future

359
00:16:01,060 --> 00:15:59,360
vehicles and so one of the big projects

360
00:16:03,130 --> 00:16:01,070
is to move what's called a pmm module

361
00:16:06,940 --> 00:16:03,140
which is just below the camera and move

362
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:06,950
it to modules / basically and and that

363
00:16:10,510 --> 00:16:08,510
may be something that we do in this time

364
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:10,520
that we have off we've picked up some

365
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:12,530
big maintenance on our on our life

366
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:14,810
support and recycling systems so we're

367
00:16:17,860 --> 00:16:16,490
trying to get ahead on some of the tasks

368
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:17,870
are going to be required for the next

369
00:16:22,090 --> 00:16:20,240
year relocating that pmm module if it

370
00:16:26,230 --> 00:16:22,100
ends up happening is going to be a kind

371
00:16:29,020 --> 00:16:26,240
of a really big task Scott you're set to

372
00:16:31,750 --> 00:16:29,030
take your first spacewalk of your career

373
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:31,760
when is that happening and how much more

374
00:16:38,950 --> 00:16:34,010
training or preparation do you have a

375
00:16:42,220 --> 00:16:38,960
head for that well right now it's a

376
00:16:44,530 --> 00:16:42,230
little bit TBD because the first plan

377
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:44,540
spacewalk was for chelle lindgren and

378
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:48,170
myself and its associated with the nays

379
00:16:54,579 --> 00:16:52,850
SpaceX so the next SpaceX has a hardware

380
00:16:57,250 --> 00:16:54,589
component on it that allows commercial

381
00:16:59,139 --> 00:16:57,260
vehicles to dock US commercial vehicles

382
00:17:02,410 --> 00:16:59,149
the dock to the International Space

383
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:02,420
Station and when the SpaceX gets here

384
00:17:07,590 --> 00:17:04,850
we'll pull that piece of hardware out of

385
00:17:11,409 --> 00:17:07,600
out of space exits in the unpressurized

386
00:17:14,020 --> 00:17:11,419
portion of the the vehicle and then as

387
00:17:15,699 --> 00:17:14,030
soon as chelle gets up here some number

388
00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:15,709
of days after we're not sure which

389
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:17,329
because he was supposed to be here

390
00:17:20,549 --> 00:17:19,010
already when that arrived but now

391
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:20,559
they're that his launch is being delayed

392
00:17:25,090 --> 00:17:22,970
we're going to have to replan that so

393
00:17:29,020 --> 00:17:25,100
I'm not sure it's probably some time I

394
00:17:31,419 --> 00:17:29,030
would suspect in in August they're

395
00:17:34,419 --> 00:17:31,429
supposed to get here towards the end of

396
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:34,429
July of course you know Terry and I

397
00:17:38,289 --> 00:17:36,410
could always go out and do an unplanned

398
00:17:39,820 --> 00:17:38,299
spacewalk if something list a break on

399
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:39,830
the space station so you know you have

400
00:17:44,350 --> 00:17:41,570
to be prepared for that as far as

401
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:44,360
training there is some onboard training

402
00:17:48,010 --> 00:17:46,130
you do there's certainly a lot of study

403
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:48,020
and preparation and I'm sure Terry can

404
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:50,090
attest it at doing three spacewalks in a

405
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:53,450
row so training never stops we do

406
00:17:56,289 --> 00:17:54,890
onboard training you know you trained

407
00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:56,299
for this your whole life and then you

408
00:18:00,549 --> 00:17:58,730
continue to train and it's a you know

409
00:18:02,169 --> 00:18:00,559
you almost think maybe when you get home

410
00:18:06,180 --> 00:18:02,179
you'll still be doing training because

411
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:09,970
do you feel you've got I guess ten and a

412
00:18:15,460 --> 00:18:12,890
half months 10 months and a week how are

413
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:15,470
you pacing yourself does that feel like

414
00:18:23,289 --> 00:18:18,410
a long haul or are you sort of a getting

415
00:18:27,430 --> 00:18:23,299
fully in the rhythm it's one thing I

416
00:18:29,890 --> 00:18:27,440
think about every single day is that you

417
00:18:32,260 --> 00:18:29,900
know I fortunately I had the experience

418
00:18:34,210 --> 00:18:32,270
of being up here previously and I think

419
00:18:36,310 --> 00:18:34,220
most people that have been here for six

420
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:36,320
months can tell you that a year is a

421
00:18:42,310 --> 00:18:39,110
very long time to live here where you

422
00:18:47,260 --> 00:18:42,320
can't leave a very closed environment a

423
00:18:50,169 --> 00:18:47,270
very heavy workload and so I think about

424
00:18:52,270 --> 00:18:50,179
it all the time like I said earlier you

425
00:18:53,740 --> 00:18:52,280
know we i work from basically the time i

426
00:18:56,740 --> 00:18:53,750
get up until right before i go to sleep

427
00:18:59,100 --> 00:18:56,750
so me pacing myself is you know one of

428
00:19:02,140 --> 00:18:59,110
the most critical things i do because i

429
00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:02,150
need to have you know the same a bill

430
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:04,310
and energy and focus and attention to

431
00:19:10,540 --> 00:19:06,710
detail at the end of this mission that I

432
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:10,550
do right now and you know because you

433
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:12,290
know at any time we need to be able to

434
00:19:15,850 --> 00:19:14,210
respond to an emergency to stay up very

435
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:15,860
long hours if we have to go outside and

436
00:19:20,980 --> 00:19:17,900
do it an emergency spacewalk for

437
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:20,990
instance so you know it's the the number

438
00:19:25,900 --> 00:19:23,330
one thing actually safety is first and

439
00:19:29,940 --> 00:19:25,910
the number two thing in my mind is is

440
00:19:35,380 --> 00:19:33,130
wonderful gentleman thank you so much

00:19:40,380 --> 00:19:35,390
