1 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:02,600 station Houston are you ready for the 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:09,570 event we are ready for the event CBS 3 00:00:13,610 --> 00:00:11,010 Radio Network this is Mission Control 4 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:13,620 Houston please call the station for a 5 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:22,890 voice check how do you hear me have you 6 00:00:27,109 --> 00:00:25,410 loud and clear now well Scott and 7 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:27,119 Mikhail good morning it's peter king 8 00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:30,410 with Bill Harwood CBS network radio and 9 00:00:34,670 --> 00:00:32,550 glad to be speaking with you this 10 00:00:36,319 --> 00:00:34,680 morning you know this is the second stay 11 00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:36,329 for each of you on board the 12 00:00:40,069 --> 00:00:38,160 International Space Station Scott and 13 00:00:41,930 --> 00:00:40,079 some of your pre-flight interviews you 14 00:00:44,569 --> 00:00:41,940 spoke about hitting the wall after about 15 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:44,579 four months the last time you're more 16 00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:46,770 than two months in here and for both of 17 00:00:54,139 --> 00:00:48,750 you are you even close to hitting the 18 00:00:55,930 --> 00:00:54,149 wall right now well uh good afternoon 19 00:01:00,830 --> 00:00:55,940 Peter and Bill great to talk to you guys 20 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:00,840 I don't know it was so much of a wall as 21 00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:03,210 it was just kind of getting a sense that 22 00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:05,129 you've accomplished everything you're 23 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:06,720 you know you got a little bit of a 24 00:01:11,810 --> 00:01:09,570 fatigue level and you're looking forward 25 00:01:13,730 --> 00:01:11,820 to coming home and that was you know the 26 00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:13,740 last time I was up here you know this 27 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:14,970 time I have it a little bit different 28 00:01:21,679 --> 00:01:18,210 perspective I feel like I'm I've moved 29 00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:21,689 to the space station going to be here 30 00:01:25,070 --> 00:01:23,310 for a long time I'm not sure when i'm 31 00:01:27,950 --> 00:01:25,080 coming home although you know i dunno 32 00:01:28,969 --> 00:01:27,960 it'll be sometime in march and but i'm 33 00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:28,979 not thinking about that I'm thinking 34 00:01:35,539 --> 00:01:31,560 about pacing myself you know and having 35 00:01:39,289 --> 00:01:35,549 a good balance between rest and work and 36 00:01:42,109 --> 00:01:39,299 the Kyle same question uh and have have 37 00:02:14,260 --> 00:01:42,119 you settled in and are you feeling the 38 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:17,710 young emo goose Gossage to Jason ettore 39 00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:21,210 I'm not saying it's a resort it's a 40 00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:23,430 workplace and all depends on how well 41 00:02:28,340 --> 00:02:25,920 you will manage to convince yourself 42 00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:28,350 that you have got to be there you gotta 43 00:02:33,890 --> 00:02:31,260 be doing productive work and we have 44 00:02:38,420 --> 00:02:33,900 convinced ourselves both myself and 45 00:02:40,670 --> 00:02:38,430 Scott is that we know what we expect and 46 00:02:43,610 --> 00:02:40,680 at this time I don't even think about it 47 00:02:46,490 --> 00:02:43,620 I know it's not going to happen too soon 48 00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:46,500 Buddha okay and we will be expecting 49 00:02:56,780 --> 00:02:55,340 thanks a lot hey Scott mikkel vs bill 50 00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:56,790 Harwood at the Kennedy Space Center 51 00:03:00,800 --> 00:02:58,560 we've been following the progress 52 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:00,810 misshapen its impact on you guys not so 53 00:03:05,090 --> 00:03:02,970 much from a supply standpoint but how 54 00:03:06,170 --> 00:03:05,100 it's affected the schedule Scott I was 55 00:03:08,870 --> 00:03:06,180 wondering if you've got any updates 56 00:03:10,730 --> 00:03:08,880 about crew rotation or Anton Terry and 57 00:03:16,310 --> 00:03:10,740 Samantha coming home next thurs here is 58 00:03:19,009 --> 00:03:16,320 that still up in the air you know I 59 00:03:21,650 --> 00:03:19,019 think they had a tentative date of next 60 00:03:25,550 --> 00:03:21,660 thursday i haven't heard of any official 61 00:03:26,930 --> 00:03:25,560 announcement I think Russ cosmos Russian 62 00:03:28,699 --> 00:03:26,940 space agency is going to come out with 63 00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:28,709 something here probably pretty soon 64 00:03:33,410 --> 00:03:31,650 maybe maybe today and I think next 65 00:03:35,780 --> 00:03:33,420 tuesday is when we're going to hear 66 00:03:39,050 --> 00:03:35,790 about the the future launches i think 67 00:03:40,430 --> 00:03:39,060 they're planning to announce some launch 68 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:40,440 dates or i don't know if they'll be 69 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:42,570 tentative or firm but I think we're 70 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:45,450 expecting to hear that next Tuesday well 71 00:03:48,380 --> 00:03:47,010 you know however it plays out you guys 72 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:48,390 are obviously going to be a bit 73 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:50,250 short-handed there longer than you 74 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:52,290 originally planned until the next toy 75 00:03:57,710 --> 00:03:55,170 flies what impact if any will that have 76 00:04:02,500 --> 00:03:57,720 on research in general and on the 77 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:06,259 but we do a lot of research on board the 78 00:04:10,460 --> 00:04:07,890 space station there's a lot of work to 79 00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:10,470 do you know not only the science but 80 00:04:15,949 --> 00:04:12,959 maintaining the the facilities up here 81 00:04:18,469 --> 00:04:15,959 so when you go down from a crew of six 82 00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:18,479 to a crew of three obviously you know 83 00:04:20,750 --> 00:04:20,070 you've lost half of your crew time 84 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:20,760 available 85 00:04:26,030 --> 00:04:23,130 so it does have an impact but it's an 86 00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:26,040 impact we plan for and you know as you 87 00:04:29,630 --> 00:04:27,630 know we used to have a crew of three 88 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:29,640 onboard the space station and even at 89 00:04:35,060 --> 00:04:31,770 one time a crew of two people so it's 90 00:04:38,810 --> 00:04:35,070 something we can adjust to and will will 91 00:04:41,810 --> 00:04:38,820 do just that I think the science that is 92 00:04:44,170 --> 00:04:41,820 related to misha and I is a a pretty 93 00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:44,180 high priority but we just finished today 94 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:48,000 one of the first data takes of this 95 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:50,130 fluid ships experiment which is a pretty 96 00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:53,610 interesting and an important experiment 97 00:04:57,410 --> 00:04:55,680 where we're in this lower lower body 98 00:04:58,700 --> 00:04:57,420 negative pressure device in the Russian 99 00:05:02,240 --> 00:04:58,710 segment doing a bunch of scans 100 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:02,250 ultrasounds and stuff and other scans on 101 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:04,320 our eyes and the vessels in our heads 102 00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:06,450 and we don't have another one of those 103 00:05:10,970 --> 00:05:09,270 until August so you know I think we'll 104 00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:10,980 continue to do science on board but 105 00:05:15,860 --> 00:05:14,310 certainly and at a reduced rate Scott 106 00:05:18,490 --> 00:05:15,870 it's Peter again and you're getting 107 00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:18,500 ready to do some major modifications and 108 00:05:23,420 --> 00:05:21,840 moving around for the new Commercial 109 00:05:25,970 --> 00:05:23,430 Crew vehicles do up there in a couple 110 00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:25,980 years readers digest version what have 111 00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:27,360 you got coming up ahead in the coming 112 00:05:35,810 --> 00:05:32,400 weeks and months well we we just 113 00:05:38,450 --> 00:05:35,820 actually finished moving the pmm which 114 00:05:40,820 --> 00:05:38,460 is a pressurized multi-purpose module 115 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:40,830 it's what used to be called the MPL em 116 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:43,050 but it stays onboard the station space 117 00:05:49,610 --> 00:05:47,090 station it's a big closet storage 118 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:49,620 facility that is very important actually 119 00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:51,810 it really changed their operations up 120 00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:53,880 here from when I was here last time just 121 00:05:57,530 --> 00:05:55,710 having more volume to stow our hardware 122 00:05:59,090 --> 00:05:57,540 it makes things a lot easier but that 123 00:06:01,850 --> 00:05:59,100 was on the bottom of the space station 124 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:01,860 on the bottom of node 1 and we just 125 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:04,650 moved it to the front of node 3 so it's 126 00:06:08,180 --> 00:06:06,330 kind of in plane with the rest of the 127 00:06:11,060 --> 00:06:08,190 space station I kind of like it there 128 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:11,070 it's kind of like you're you know closet 129 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:12,570 or garage so it's a little bit out of 130 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:15,090 the way you know I like it a little 131 00:06:18,980 --> 00:06:16,770 better that it's kind of in plane you're 132 00:06:21,020 --> 00:06:18,990 not you know going out of plane when you 133 00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:21,030 get into it although it is upside down 134 00:06:26,780 --> 00:06:23,520 so you have to turn 180 degrees around 135 00:06:29,090 --> 00:06:26,790 so we did that and that opens up a 136 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:29,100 docking port on the bottom of node 1 so 137 00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:31,050 we can have redundant docking ports for 138 00:06:34,670 --> 00:06:33,750 cargo vehicles so we can have to docking 139 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:34,680 ports for crude v 140 00:06:38,830 --> 00:06:36,090 and hopefully in the next two years 141 00:06:41,150 --> 00:06:38,840 we're going to we're going to use those 142 00:06:43,010 --> 00:06:41,160 but to have that docking part in node 143 00:06:46,779 --> 00:06:43,020 one we're going to have to rewire the 144 00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:46,789 space station to get it ready to have a 145 00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:49,680 docking port there and we're also moving 146 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:52,710 some of our our equipment that's in the 147 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:55,650 lab the that'll be for a galley into 148 00:06:59,330 --> 00:06:57,210 node one so there's a lot of work to be 149 00:07:01,430 --> 00:06:59,340 done in that area too so we are doing 150 00:07:03,409 --> 00:07:01,440 somewhat of a reconfiguration of space 151 00:07:04,820 --> 00:07:03,419 station we did we got some of the work 152 00:07:08,330 --> 00:07:04,830 done already but we still have a lot 153 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:08,340 more to come this summer yeah it's got 154 00:07:11,689 --> 00:07:10,050 this is bill you know all that reconfig 155 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:11,699 work and uh you know the docking 156 00:07:14,629 --> 00:07:13,050 adapters you guys are going to install I 157 00:07:16,219 --> 00:07:14,639 guess you're going to move p.m. a3 and 158 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:16,229 all of that let's all that internal 159 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:18,210 wiring that all assumes those spacecraft 160 00:07:21,409 --> 00:07:20,370 are going to come up there in 2017 you 161 00:07:23,719 --> 00:07:21,419 know one of the things that struck me 162 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:23,729 down here is Congress has never fully 163 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:25,410 funded Commercial Crew and it's looking 164 00:07:29,659 --> 00:07:27,210 like it might not get fully funded this 165 00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:29,669 year I realized it asking an astronaut 166 00:07:33,650 --> 00:07:31,289 in space about politics is always tricky 167 00:07:35,180 --> 00:07:33,660 but what do you say to people about the 168 00:07:40,330 --> 00:07:35,190 Commercial Crew and the importance of 169 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:42,980 well you know it's really important to 170 00:07:47,659 --> 00:07:44,490 us I think it's really important to our 171 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:47,669 nation you know we do the best with what 172 00:07:52,460 --> 00:07:50,370 we have and I'm not familiar with you 173 00:07:54,860 --> 00:07:52,470 know the details of our budget but you 174 00:07:57,770 --> 00:07:54,870 know I hope commercial crew gets funded 175 00:08:00,409 --> 00:07:57,780 at a level that we can work with and 176 00:08:03,290 --> 00:08:00,419 keep to our schedule but again I don't 177 00:08:06,020 --> 00:08:03,300 know the details as far as the work that 178 00:08:07,850 --> 00:08:06,030 needs to be conducted I think will press 179 00:08:11,540 --> 00:08:07,860 ahead is if those vehicles will show up 180 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:11,550 in 2017 as scheduled and you know if 181 00:08:16,310 --> 00:08:13,530 they do get delayed at least the space 182 00:08:18,529 --> 00:08:16,320 station will be prepared for its Peter 183 00:08:21,230 --> 00:08:18,539 again and for both of you you know 184 00:08:23,330 --> 00:08:21,240 you're up there for almost a year you do 185 00:08:25,219 --> 00:08:23,340 the work day in and day out you exercise 186 00:08:26,899 --> 00:08:25,229 hard every day and you do the things to 187 00:08:28,790 --> 00:08:26,909 keep the space station running and 188 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:28,800 getting you and and get into a routine 189 00:08:40,069 --> 00:08:32,010 what keeps this fresh and new every day 190 00:08:42,380 --> 00:08:40,079 for both of you you know I think anyone 191 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:42,390 who's in the you know the same building 192 00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:44,130 or the same place for a really long 193 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:48,000 period of time uh you know some parts of 194 00:08:51,170 --> 00:08:48,930 it become routine 195 00:08:55,070 --> 00:08:51,180 but this is a really big space station 196 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:55,080 we do a lot of varied various kinds of 197 00:09:00,380 --> 00:08:58,050 work here different kinds of science 198 00:09:02,570 --> 00:09:00,390 experiments we have over 400 different 199 00:09:05,449 --> 00:09:02,580 experiments going on at any one time in 200 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:05,459 different areas from you know basic kind 201 00:09:10,970 --> 00:09:08,010 of physics or basic science research to 202 00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:10,980 to medical technology that will you know 203 00:09:15,079 --> 00:09:13,200 has and hopefully will benefit more 204 00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:15,089 people on earth we've done a bunch of 205 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:17,279 experiments with the with the rodents 206 00:09:25,070 --> 00:09:19,770 recently that that is in in kind of that 207 00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:25,080 discipline so the work you know although 208 00:09:29,150 --> 00:09:26,399 you're in the same place the work 209 00:09:30,740 --> 00:09:29,160 doesn't really get routine you know as 210 00:09:32,990 --> 00:09:30,750 an example this week we've done a lot of 211 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:33,000 human research like I said Misha and I 212 00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:35,130 in the Russian segment using some 213 00:09:40,070 --> 00:09:36,690 hardware that's never been used there 214 00:09:41,870 --> 00:09:40,080 before in this lower body negative 215 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:41,880 pressure device it's really a 216 00:09:45,650 --> 00:09:44,370 fascinating experiments experiment this 217 00:09:48,740 --> 00:09:45,660 sunday we're going to be doing the 218 00:09:51,610 --> 00:09:48,750 working with the rodents again Terry and 219 00:09:54,170 --> 00:09:51,620 Samantha just finished changing out a 220 00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:54,180 fan pump separator on one of our 221 00:09:58,850 --> 00:09:56,940 spacesuits that needed fixing we have a 222 00:10:03,050 --> 00:09:58,860 lot of packing to do before the Soyuz 223 00:10:05,630 --> 00:10:03,060 goes home recently got rid of SpaceX so 224 00:10:07,250 --> 00:10:05,640 as you can see you know we have a lot of 225 00:10:10,460 --> 00:10:07,260 varied activities so it really doesn't 226 00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:10,470 get routine that's one of the great 227 00:10:15,710 --> 00:10:12,720 things about the being here and working 228 00:10:17,510 --> 00:10:15,720 in this program Scott I wish we had more 229 00:10:19,820 --> 00:10:17,520 time but we're told to wrap it up thank 230 00:10:23,470 --> 00:10:19,830 you both so much and safe mission we 231 00:10:31,790 --> 00:10:25,850 yeah pleasure talking to you Peter and 232 00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:31,800 bill station

--> 00:12:21,040 glorious ride around planet earth 261 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:23,440 astronaut scott kelly and russian Kozma 262 00:12:28,710 --> 00:12:26,650 miccail Kornienko selected to spend a 263 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:28,720 year in space on board the International 264 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:31,330 Space Station the test saying how far 265 00:12:36,510 --> 00:12:33,610 the human body can go in such an extreme 266 00:12:38,490 --> 00:12:36,520 environment hello I'm Tyra nandez in New 267 00:12:41,250 --> 00:12:38,500 York and now joining us live from the 268 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:41,260 ISS astronaut scott Kelly and cosmonaut 269 00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:43,570 Mikhail Kornienko good morning to you 270 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:45,910 both Scott you were both selected as 271 00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:47,530 flight engineers for this expedition 272 00:12:51,330 --> 00:12:49,150 we're going to start with you though how 273 00:12:53,490 --> 00:12:51,340 has it been living and working in space 274 00:12:58,830 --> 00:12:53,500 for the past three months what's the 275 00:13:01,260 --> 00:12:58,840 biggest challenge well I you know the 276 00:13:03,060 --> 00:13:01,270 biggest challenge is you know being in 277 00:13:04,590 --> 00:13:03,070 the same place for for such a long 278 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:04,600 period of time and having a pretty 279 00:13:09,090 --> 00:13:07,090 pretty heavy work schedule but you know 280 00:13:11,130 --> 00:13:09,100 a lot of people do that and you know we 281 00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:11,140 get to work in this important program 282 00:13:15,630 --> 00:13:13,510 and you know get to live in this 283 00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:15,640 incredible environment with the 284 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:18,100 microgravity and the views of the earth 285 00:13:24,180 --> 00:13:21,490 we have outside so you know it really is 286 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:24,190 is a privilege I think we both feel 287 00:13:29,190 --> 00:13:27,250 privileged to be here and do this the 288 00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:29,200 advantage with us is we had both been 289 00:13:34,770 --> 00:13:32,560 here before so it's it's not new and you 290 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:34,780 know it's something that that we really 291 00:13:38,820 --> 00:13:36,490 enjoy and we look forward to continuing 292 00:13:43,980 --> 00:13:38,830 throughout the next the rest of the year 293 00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:43,990 and next year and Mikhail what are your 294 00:14:03,600 --> 00:13:59,190 no prints tissue a conditional first off 295 00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:03,610 I expect that we will come up with 296 00:14:11,470 --> 00:14:07,570 actual helmet or ability which would go 297 00:14:13,870 --> 00:14:11,480 towards future generation new astronauts 298 00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:13,880 and cosmonauts who will fly to Mars into 299 00:14:19,540 --> 00:14:16,160 the moon and that's what we're trying to 300 00:14:23,829 --> 00:14:19,550 accomplish we are trying to better 301 00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:23,839 understand the specifics the nuances and 302 00:14:30,820 --> 00:14:27,680 subtleties which we have progressed 303 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:30,830 tremendously a change and we these days 304 00:14:39,730 --> 00:14:35,450 can very thoroughly examine the reaction 305 00:14:41,860 --> 00:14:39,740 of human body to a lengthy spaceflight 306 00:14:44,079 --> 00:14:41,870 no social no problem and that's the 307 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:44,089 focus of our flight this is not the only 308 00:14:51,010 --> 00:14:45,770 thing we're trying to accomplish but 309 00:14:52,990 --> 00:14:51,020 that's the main thing cosmic l just 310 00:14:55,180 --> 00:14:53,000 mentioned you are performing a lot of 311 00:14:57,220 --> 00:14:55,190 research on the mission but you are also 312 00:14:59,530 --> 00:14:57,230 a living breathing experiment to see how 313 00:15:01,930 --> 00:14:59,540 astronauts might fare on a long trip to 314 00:15:03,460 --> 00:15:01,940 Mars say is it true they're going to 315 00:15:04,990 --> 00:15:03,470 compare you with your twin brother when 316 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:05,000 you return to Earth to see how the 317 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:10,130 mission has affected you physically well 318 00:15:14,769 --> 00:15:12,050 like you said there's a lot of research 319 00:15:16,930 --> 00:15:14,779 that goes on board here about 400 320 00:15:18,910 --> 00:15:16,940 different experiments in all different 321 00:15:21,579 --> 00:15:18,920 kinds of disciplines some of our related 322 00:15:24,010 --> 00:15:21,589 to exploration and that's the one year 323 00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:24,020 science that misha and i are doing you 324 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:26,510 know how does the body adapt for longer 325 00:15:29,949 --> 00:15:28,250 periods of time and and what do we need 326 00:15:34,210 --> 00:15:29,959 to do to protect it so we can go further 327 00:15:36,670 --> 00:15:34,220 from our home planet someday and the 328 00:15:38,530 --> 00:15:36,680 research with my brother is is a small 329 00:15:41,079 --> 00:15:38,540 part of that somewhat related and that's 330 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:41,089 kind of in the in the genetic realm of 331 00:15:46,090 --> 00:15:43,490 how does this environment affect us on a 332 00:15:49,210 --> 00:15:46,100 genetic scale so they're collecting data 333 00:15:51,220 --> 00:15:49,220 from my brother and samples certain 334 00:15:53,860 --> 00:15:51,230 types of scans cat-scans of different 335 00:15:56,199 --> 00:15:53,870 parts of his body they'll do the same on 336 00:15:59,199 --> 00:15:56,209 me after the flight and we do get 337 00:16:01,870 --> 00:15:59,209 samples up here as well so you know that 338 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:01,880 twin study is one small part of a much 339 00:16:08,169 --> 00:16:04,250 larger science program we have here on 340 00:16:12,919 --> 00:16:10,849 mikkel there are so many children who 341 00:16:15,710 --> 00:16:12,929 will be tomorrow's astronauts to become 342 00:16:17,389 --> 00:16:15,720 fascinated by what you do by the small 343 00:16:19,549 --> 00:16:17,399 detail so what can you tell us about 344 00:16:46,179 --> 00:16:19,559 daily life in a microgravity environment 345 00:16:49,819 --> 00:16:46,189 what is that like most on Long 346 00:16:53,439 --> 00:16:49,829 Marceline's estate is expedia do inside 347 00:16:56,539 --> 00:16:53,449 a notional station is a huge science lab 348 00:16:59,989 --> 00:16:56,549 robot MZ we are working here for the 349 00:17:06,470 --> 00:16:59,999 benefit of this science we start our day 350 00:17:09,139 --> 00:17:06,480 at 6am we wake up DPC have some 351 00:17:11,539 --> 00:17:09,149 breakfast and we're on a daily planning 352 00:17:15,409 --> 00:17:11,549 conference and after that we start 353 00:17:19,369 --> 00:17:15,419 working and finish everything up by 6pm 354 00:17:21,679 --> 00:17:19,379 and by all means during the day we're 355 00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:21,689 running physical exercises this is 356 00:17:27,980 --> 00:17:25,049 almost a must it's either a velo or 357 00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:27,990 treadmill or a red which turned out to 358 00:17:33,619 --> 00:17:31,110 be outstanding device which helps us out 359 00:17:36,350 --> 00:17:33,629 with the variety of different things 360 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:36,360 that help us to stay fit we'll simply 361 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:39,090 perform hygienic procedures and it's 362 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:42,570 very similar to how we live on the 363 00:17:48,169 --> 00:17:45,330 ground it's a wake up in the morning its 364 00:17:50,749 --> 00:17:48,179 work meals and the other thing we're 365 00:17:57,169 --> 00:17:50,759 lacking is a swimming pool that we don't 366 00:17:58,639 --> 00:17:57,179 have this luxury up on the station well 367 00:18:00,350 --> 00:17:58,649 here it's like living in a swimming pool 368 00:18:02,659 --> 00:18:00,360 so hopefully you don't miss it too much 369 00:18:05,299 --> 00:18:02,669 Scott I hear that you watched the movie 370 00:18:07,369 --> 00:18:05,309 gravity while on the ISS that actually I 371 00:18:09,169 --> 00:18:07,379 wonder if that's true and also made me 372 00:18:10,700 --> 00:18:09,179 think about what you do in your down 373 00:18:13,249 --> 00:18:10,710 time I mean Mikhail just gave us a good 374 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:13,259 sense of your daily schedule but I mean 375 00:18:16,009 --> 00:18:14,490 did you bring your kindle what 376 00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:16,019 personally did you bring to make this 377 00:18:26,549 --> 00:18:22,560 yeah so we did watch the movie gravity 378 00:18:30,030 --> 00:18:26,559 we recently got a projector HD projector 379 00:18:32,010 --> 00:18:30,040 up here not only for entertainment but 380 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:32,020 also from some work-related things we 381 00:18:36,780 --> 00:18:34,570 could do the video conferences on it we 382 00:18:38,790 --> 00:18:36,790 can run some software that's important 383 00:18:43,170 --> 00:18:38,800 to planning for spacewalks for instance 384 00:18:45,570 --> 00:18:43,180 but you know I read we have a ipad with 385 00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:45,580 the some software on it you can read 386 00:18:53,730 --> 00:18:51,130 books you we have videos and movies we 387 00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:53,740 can watch on our laptops and on the ipad 388 00:18:58,530 --> 00:18:56,320 so TV shows we exercise we have a phone 389 00:19:02,669 --> 00:18:58,540 we can call people call friends and 390 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:02,679 family email we actually have internet 391 00:19:06,690 --> 00:19:04,330 connection which is slow it's kind of 392 00:19:08,549 --> 00:19:06,700 like dial-up but it is it does allow us 393 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:08,559 to do some things and of course you know 394 00:19:13,860 --> 00:19:09,970 you look out the window a lot the earth 395 00:19:15,630 --> 00:19:13,870 is a very beautiful place and it's you 396 00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:15,640 know we spent spend time looking out the 397 00:19:23,669 --> 00:19:20,710 window and taking pictures well I want 398 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:23,679 to thank you both so much truly cool to 399 00:19:26,730 --> 00:19:25,090 speak you guys while you're in the 400 00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:26,740 International Space Station Scott Kelly 401 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:29,470 Mikhail Kornienko onboard the ISS thank
