00:00:12,230 --> 00:00:10,549
dear colleagues

2
00:00:14,709 --> 00:00:12,240
today

3
00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:14,719
we are meeting here

4
00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:23,029
and we need to state that the training

5
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:25,680
has been accomplished fully

6
00:00:52,709 --> 00:00:49,270
vehicle and fe of the station

7
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:52,719
mr kimiya yui representing japanese

8
00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:57,670
another

9
00:01:02,709 --> 00:00:59,760
board engineer

10
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:02,719
is chad lindgren the united states of

11
00:01:06,230 --> 00:01:04,159
america

12
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:06,240
the backup crew consists of the

13
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,190
as well as timothy cobra

14
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:19,510
and representing the uh nasa and timothy

15
00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:22,560
peake representing european space agency

16
00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:31,030
congratulations to you for completing

17
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:35,590
uh we wanted to ask mr

18
00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:37,439
kononenko

19
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:41,200
it's going to be your third expedition

20
00:01:43,749 --> 00:01:43,040
what are

21
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:43,759
the

22
00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:45,200
plans

23
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:47,759
for the third mission maybe you will

24
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:50,399
pursue some tasks that you set for

25
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:53,520
yourself during the second expedition

26
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:55,040
and what

27
00:02:02,950 --> 00:01:57,360
would you use as the

28
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:04,469
you're quite right this is going to be

29
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:17,910
but for the third time i flying for the

30
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:24,869
although

31
00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:28,160
twice for instance i have gotten on the

32
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:32,640
station using the uh expedited for orbit

33
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:34,239
rendezvous and docking now it's going to

34
00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:36,800
be different so which is to say that

35
00:02:41,589 --> 00:02:39,120
every every time you fly something is

36
00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:41,599
different so i have put together a

37
00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:44,000
certain plan for myself we have a very

38
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:45,680
sophisticated

39
00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:48,160
very well designed program

40
00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:54,470
and then to some extent it's going to be

41
00:03:02,470 --> 00:02:56,879
the continuation of what we have started

42
00:03:06,309 --> 00:03:04,949
this whole situation is developing in

43
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:06,319
light of the

44
00:03:10,949 --> 00:03:08,560
mishap that we have experienced

45
00:03:13,030 --> 00:03:10,959
previously with the progress vehicle and

46
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:13,040
we do have some obstacles and

47
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:16,560
shortcomings associated with this mishab

48
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:19,200
relative to our ability to continue the

49
00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:21,360
implementation of the space programs

50
00:03:25,670 --> 00:03:24,879
particularly russian space program

51
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:25,680
but

52
00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:27,680
in any event

53
00:03:30,869 --> 00:03:28,560
i'm

54
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:30,879
very much interested i'd like to refer

55
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:33,760
your attention to the booklet that

56
00:03:41,509 --> 00:03:36,480
outlines the set of experiments that i

57
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:43,990
so we i'd like to draw your attention to

58
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:45,200
the joint

59
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,990
which would allow us

60
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:54,949
to

61
00:04:01,750 --> 00:03:57,280
further develop the internet

62
00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:01,760
capabilities so i would like to

63
00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:03,840
be involved in this experiment and i

64
00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:06,400
will have a chance to go and test

65
00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:08,799
the efficiency of the resources that we

66
00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:11,680
will have on the station as far as our

67
00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:15,680
ability to uh use the resources of

68
00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:16,959
internet

69
00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:18,720
another experiment has to do with the

70
00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:21,359
capabilities of the manipulator of the

71
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:24,320
robotics arm which is also very

72
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:25,440
important

73
00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:27,280
some other experiments

74
00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:29,680
will be dedicated to

75
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:31,919
work out the ability to

76
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,240
remotely control

77
00:04:39,749 --> 00:04:36,479
the functionality of the international

78
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:39,759
station or a station or any other

79
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:42,080
spacecraft for that matter plasma

80
00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:45,120
crystal will be continued on orbit which

81
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:53,189
which is basically a investigation of

82
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:55,600
the behavior crystals

83
00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:57,840
under different circumstances and

84
00:05:01,590 --> 00:04:59,440
different conditions

85
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:01,600
this is interesting for me personally

86
00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:03,600
also uragan

87
00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,639
which is something that i'm a very big

88
00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:08,720
fan of

89
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:12,320
this experiment allows us to further

90
00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:14,240
improve our understanding of the

91
00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:16,400
mechanisms of

92
00:05:22,830 --> 00:05:19,199
all kinds of catastrophes that happen

93
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:22,840
on the ground the earthquakes

94
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:31,350
so there will be a number of new

95
00:05:34,469 --> 00:05:33,360
experiments

96
00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:34,479
and

97
00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:38,639
we all know that in the zero g

98
00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:42,080
the way the blood is distributed inside

99
00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:43,840
of a human

100
00:05:46,790 --> 00:05:45,280
body

101
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:46,800
becomes different

102
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:49,360
it becomes a little more chaotic

103
00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:50,080
and

104
00:05:57,990 --> 00:05:55,120
we are in a position here to further

105
00:06:00,309 --> 00:05:58,000
improve our understanding of how to

106
00:06:03,909 --> 00:06:00,319
control this development

107
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:03,919
and how to for instance

108
00:06:09,189 --> 00:06:07,120
help crew members with

109
00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:09,199
any kind of medicine that a crew member

110
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:18,870
also experiment bar i would like to

111
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:25,029
we this experiment is going to allow us

112
00:06:29,670 --> 00:06:26,720
to actually find

113
00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:29,680
all kinds of minimal leakages that may

114
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:32,000
occur on this station

115
00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:35,600
and i'm planning to use my spare time

116
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:37,120
in order to

117
00:06:40,390 --> 00:06:38,800
conduct uh

118
00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:40,400
several experiments that have been

119
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:42,479
suggested by the youth

120
00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:44,800
of the russian federation students

121
00:06:49,189 --> 00:06:47,199
school boys and girls and also students

122
00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:49,199
of the universities of the russian

123
00:06:56,309 --> 00:06:50,560
federation

124
00:07:01,589 --> 00:06:58,870
and some of those are rather simplistic

125
00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:01,599
experiments but anyway i'd be more than

126
00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:02,400
happy

127
00:07:08,150 --> 00:07:05,280
to allocate some time to help

128
00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:08,160
the russian youth to get some results on

129
00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:13,510
thank you very much

130
00:07:25,189 --> 00:07:22,790
gave us a very interesting story on the

131
00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:25,199
experiments that will be implemented on

132
00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:28,390
but

133
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:31,199
we would like to uh

134
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:33,280
listen to what the

135
00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:35,840
rest of the crew

136
00:07:46,469 --> 00:07:44,150
what exactly do you have in mind when it

137
00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:46,479
comes to your participation in the

138
00:08:09,510 --> 00:07:54,390
i understand it's very interesting to to

139
00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:10,710
assist

140
00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:16,550
but i will

141
00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:18,400
attempt

142
00:08:23,029 --> 00:08:21,280
to actually conduct some research

143
00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:23,039
relative to

144
00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:24,720
improving and furthering the

145
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:27,039
capabilities of the

146
00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:29,520
japanese

147
00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:32,640
spacecraft called htv

148
00:08:38,389 --> 00:08:35,599
and i'm hoping that we will

149
00:08:42,469 --> 00:08:38,399
use our common resources and conduct

150
00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:45,430
i'm very much looking forward to our

151
00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:48,160
future experimental activities on board

152
00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:50,320
i'm sure i will get as much help as i

153
00:09:00,710 --> 00:08:58,389
and i'm very glad that i'm having this

154
00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:00,720
opportunity

155
00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:02,240
and i uh

156
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:03,600
i would

157
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:05,760
pretty much echo the commander and say

158
00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:07,600
that we're very fond of what we are

159
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:12,870
you may have seen

160
00:09:16,150 --> 00:09:14,080
in the

161
00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:16,160
internet the

162
00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:18,880
information

163
00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:21,760
which is dedicated to expedition 45 and

164
00:09:25,829 --> 00:09:24,080
what we're doing there we're just

165
00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:25,839
trying to uh

166
00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:28,320
impersonate the uh characters of star

167
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:30,320
wars

168
00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:36,949
so what is it to be

169
00:09:41,030 --> 00:09:39,360
so so as always said uh we had we made

170
00:09:52,310 --> 00:09:41,040
the star wars pusher

171
00:09:57,269 --> 00:09:54,310
and many of the

172
00:10:08,230 --> 00:09:57,279
spaceships in the movie have an r2d2

173
00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:09,910
and so i was talking with my kids and we

174
00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:12,720
decided that we should have an r2d2 in

175
00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:38,389
you've been trying to get ready for this

176
00:10:51,509 --> 00:10:41,519
flight both at gctc in russia and at

177
00:10:55,990 --> 00:10:53,750
compare the level

178
00:10:58,710 --> 00:10:56,000
of readiness that you have acquired at

179
00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:58,720
both space centers

180
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:01,200
and what was uh peculiar about the way

181
00:11:08,790 --> 00:11:03,440
you've been trained at both training

182
00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:10,710
if you want us

183
00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:17,190
it's equally difficult to get trained at

184
00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:23,350
but

185
00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:26,240
it's equally pleasant as well

186
00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:29,040
because we deal with very reliable

187
00:11:40,389 --> 00:11:36,470
and we get just a completely sufficient

188
00:11:45,750 --> 00:11:43,430
and it's a great honor actually to to

189
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:45,760
have a chance to go and get trained at

190
00:11:52,069 --> 00:11:49,360
those two famous facilities

191
00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:52,079
and we'll do everything we can in order

192
00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:54,480
to produce

193
00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:56,800
reasonable meaningful results during the

194
00:11:59,590 --> 00:11:57,760
flight

195
00:12:02,150 --> 00:11:59,600
and

196
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:02,160
get ready for our future endeavors in

197
00:12:14,710 --> 00:12:11,750
so we have done a lot of berlin work at

198
00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:14,720
jsc while trying to better understand

199
00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:16,800
the specifics of the

200
00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:22,870
and we were trying to get ready to go

201
00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:25,360
and perform eva tasks which is an

202
00:12:34,069 --> 00:12:28,240
essential part of our

203
00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:35,269
so it's

204
00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:37,360
as you know eva is always a very

205
00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:40,639
beautiful and very magnificent event and

206
00:12:45,269 --> 00:12:43,600
we have got to be prepared to actually

207
00:12:48,069 --> 00:12:45,279
perform those

208
00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:48,079
in the most appropriate way

209
00:13:00,629 --> 00:12:57,829
so of course the biggest difference

210
00:13:01,750 --> 00:13:00,639
between training here and in america and

211
00:13:03,670 --> 00:13:01,760
the other training sites is the

212
00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:03,680
equipment that we're training on

213
00:13:07,269 --> 00:13:05,120
in america of course we train on the

214
00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:07,279
american segment of the u.s segment of

215
00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:08,880
the space station and here we're

216
00:13:13,590 --> 00:13:10,959
training on the russian segment as well

217
00:13:15,910 --> 00:13:13,600
as in the soyuz uh in america also we

218
00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:15,920
train uh using the american system for

219
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:18,880
spacewalks as well as using the robotic

220
00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:20,880
arm to

221
00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:23,120
accomplish tasks and capture the

222
00:13:26,550 --> 00:13:25,040
visiting vehicles

223
00:13:29,030 --> 00:13:26,560
and so while the training is different

224
00:13:31,670 --> 00:13:29,040
uh there are some similarities and of

225
00:13:33,509 --> 00:13:31,680
course at both sides and around the

226
00:13:34,870 --> 00:13:33,519
world of all of our training sites we

227
00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:34,880
get to work with

228
00:13:39,509 --> 00:13:37,200
some of the smartest and most dedicated

229
00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:39,519
professionals and trainers

230
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:41,360
in the world and so we're very grateful

231
00:14:07,509 --> 00:13:42,320
to

232
00:14:12,389 --> 00:14:09,269
uh find out

233
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:12,399
what is your take on the way on the gear

234
00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:14,240
that you're going to be wearing during

235
00:14:22,069 --> 00:14:16,480
the actual flight compared to what the

236
00:14:25,829 --> 00:14:24,150
yeah i've seen some materials some

237
00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:25,839
footage relative to

238
00:14:32,629 --> 00:14:30,079
the upcoming star wars project

239
00:14:34,949 --> 00:14:32,639
and every time i see anything like that

240
00:14:37,030 --> 00:14:34,959
i get so much inspired i cannot even

241
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:37,040
express it

242
00:14:41,670 --> 00:14:40,240
just a magnificent effort it's just so

243
00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:41,680
breathtaking

244
00:14:45,829 --> 00:14:42,639
uh

245
00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:45,839
activities and

246
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:48,639
events that are going to be depicted

247
00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:50,160
during this

248
00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:51,920
movie just

249
00:15:00,949 --> 00:14:58,550
of course i am a big fan of the star

250
00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:00,959
wars movie and looking forward to seeing

251
00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:03,279
the the martian movie and what

252
00:15:18,230 --> 00:15:05,040
technology they are using uh in that

253
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:20,550
but that is science fiction and while it

254
00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:23,199
helps us to dream of what is possible

255
00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:26,160
what is reality is that 40 years ago we

256
00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:27,920
had the partnership

257
00:15:33,189 --> 00:15:31,360
of apollo and soyuz and that docking

258
00:15:35,269 --> 00:15:33,199
which really opened the door to set the

259
00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:35,279
foundation for what we were doing today

260
00:15:49,430 --> 00:15:36,720
as an international partnership on the

261
00:15:49,440 --> 00:16:02,629
foreign

262
00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:04,629
i hope that 40 years from now we can

263
00:16:08,870 --> 00:16:06,160
look back at what we are doing on the

264
00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:08,880
international space station and see this

265
00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:11,440
as the foundation for an incredible

266
00:16:25,269 --> 00:16:13,360
future partnership that maybe actually

267
00:16:29,749 --> 00:16:27,910
you have the first experience to fly a

268
00:16:31,749 --> 00:16:29,759
trust opportunity to fly what do you

269
00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:31,759
expect from this flight well of course

270
00:16:35,829 --> 00:16:33,680
so we have been preparing for for many

271
00:16:37,990 --> 00:16:35,839
years for this flight together we've

272
00:16:39,590 --> 00:16:38,000
been preparing for two and a half years

273
00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:39,600
and i'm very excited for this

274
00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:40,720
opportunity

275
00:17:01,990 --> 00:16:59,269
there are two things that i'm

276
00:17:03,269 --> 00:17:02,000
particularly looking forward to one is

277
00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:03,279
looking through the window and looking

278
00:17:08,630 --> 00:17:05,360
back at our beautiful home planet

279
00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:08,640
looking at the earth and the second is

280
00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:11,199
just learning how to truly live and work

281
00:17:14,710 --> 00:17:12,880
in space

282
00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:14,720
it's wonderful to

283
00:17:17,510 --> 00:17:16,160
to get the opportunity to be up there

284
00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:17,520
for five months

285
00:17:48,230 --> 00:17:19,280
and to truly adapt to the weightless

286
00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:49,990
this is the third

287
00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:53,120
flight that you're going to be flying

288
00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:56,400
how difficult is it to part

289
00:17:58,870 --> 00:17:57,200
from

290
00:18:02,150 --> 00:17:58,880
the

291
00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:02,160
earth from your family from everything

292
00:18:11,990 --> 00:18:09,669
well we have a job to do and this is

293
00:18:15,990 --> 00:18:12,000
something that i concentrate on

294
00:18:18,470 --> 00:18:16,000
for my family it's also always difficult

295
00:18:20,950 --> 00:18:18,480
not to see me for such a long time i do

296
00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:20,960
have two kids small kids

297
00:18:25,590 --> 00:18:22,880
of mine and

298
00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:25,600
i mean nobody there's nobody who would

299
00:18:31,669 --> 00:18:28,960
go and play soccer with them nobody who

300
00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:31,679
would go and stay close to them and take

301
00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:33,840
care of them while i'm flying but this

302
00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:35,840
is something that comes along

303
00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:38,240
with the responsibility of flying in the

304
00:18:50,390 --> 00:18:48,630
when it comes to what i plan i would

305
00:18:53,190 --> 00:18:50,400
like to uh

306
00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:53,200
conduct a lot of uh picture taking on

307
00:19:00,470 --> 00:18:58,310
i'd like to

308
00:19:02,870 --> 00:19:00,480
use this opportunity to express my

309
00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:02,880
gratefulness to all those who

310
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:46,150
um

311
00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:48,150
it's inaudible the

312
00:19:52,789 --> 00:19:49,760
heavy accent

313
00:20:03,669 --> 00:19:52,799
i cannot understand what the person is

314
00:20:08,470 --> 00:20:06,390
so like we said before we are going to

315
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:08,480
conduct a lot of experiments those

316
00:20:13,669 --> 00:20:10,720
experiments are prioritized and i will

317
00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:13,679
concentrate on on being able to

318
00:20:18,870 --> 00:20:15,840
perform everything i can to make this

319
00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:18,880
happen and this is going to be done

320
00:20:23,909 --> 00:20:21,840
in the weightless environment which will

321
00:20:27,430 --> 00:20:23,919
add

322
00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:27,440
compound actually complexity to the

323
00:20:40,950 --> 00:20:37,909
the usage of the tablet is planned for

324
00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:40,960
the second time only

325
00:20:44,470 --> 00:20:42,480
i'm going to be doing it for the second

326
00:20:47,350 --> 00:20:44,480
time like i said

327
00:20:48,789 --> 00:20:47,360
so in the future

328
00:20:52,070 --> 00:20:48,799
i think

329
00:20:54,710 --> 00:20:52,080
there are plans in place to adapt the

330
00:20:58,230 --> 00:20:54,720
tablet to the actual environment which

331
00:21:00,470 --> 00:20:58,240
has not been done as yet

332
00:21:01,590 --> 00:21:00,480
but in the meantime we're going to have

333
00:21:06,149 --> 00:21:01,600
to

334
00:21:08,470 --> 00:21:06,159
the way it is right now we know that

335
00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:08,480
electronics generally is developing very

336
00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:12,240
quickly and we will hope that

337
00:21:16,390 --> 00:21:13,840
very soon

338
00:21:18,310 --> 00:21:16,400
this is going to happen but as a backup

339
00:21:36,710 --> 00:21:18,320
option we will use the tablet the way it

340
00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:38,710
shared with us his desire to look

341
00:21:45,510 --> 00:21:40,320
through the window take a look at the

342
00:21:52,230 --> 00:21:47,830
but what particular region

343
00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:55,750
and do you have any particular ways of

344
00:22:03,430 --> 00:21:58,960
enhancing your capabilities to

345
00:22:18,310 --> 00:22:05,029
and whether or not this is going to

346
00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:21,350
about a year ago i came to know about

347
00:22:25,430 --> 00:22:23,360
the geographic society of the russian

348
00:22:27,029 --> 00:22:25,440
federation they do have a lot of

349
00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:27,039
interesting projects a lot of

350
00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:28,960
interesting materials

351
00:22:32,950 --> 00:22:29,679
and

352
00:22:34,789 --> 00:22:32,960
i actually read about the contest

353
00:22:37,430 --> 00:22:34,799
which actually

354
00:22:41,590 --> 00:22:37,440
gives an opportunity to depict russia

355
00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:41,600
the most beautiful parts of russia

356
00:22:46,310 --> 00:22:44,000
and i'm not planning to participate in

357
00:22:49,270 --> 00:22:46,320
this contest but i have decided for

358
00:22:51,110 --> 00:22:49,280
myself that during my flight i will be

359
00:22:53,350 --> 00:22:51,120
trying to put together a gallery of

360
00:22:56,789 --> 00:22:53,360
different snapshots of my

361
00:23:03,350 --> 00:22:59,750
we have an excellent commander

362
00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:03,360
so all i have is just to follow

363
00:23:08,710 --> 00:23:05,360
here in his steps

364
00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:08,720
and do this try to do the same thing

365
00:23:12,789 --> 00:23:10,640
as far as my

366
00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:12,799
country goes

367
00:23:15,750 --> 00:23:14,320
but

368
00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:15,760
there is also

369
00:23:20,830 --> 00:23:17,520
a common goal

370
00:23:23,190 --> 00:23:20,840
it is very important for

371
00:23:24,630 --> 00:23:23,200
us uh

372
00:23:29,029 --> 00:23:24,640
be engaged

373
00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:33,909
and make it successful

374
00:23:39,270 --> 00:23:36,789
so people on the both on the ground and

375
00:23:42,310 --> 00:23:39,280
on the station would be able to share

376
00:23:44,230 --> 00:23:42,320
the results of our joint work

377
00:23:58,710 --> 00:23:44,240
it is very important that we help each

378
00:24:02,230 --> 00:24:00,710
i think that the

379
00:24:03,990 --> 00:24:02,240
thing that helps us to communicate

380
00:24:05,590 --> 00:24:04,000
communicate the most is the fact that

381
00:24:19,110 --> 00:24:05,600
we've spent two and a half years

382
00:24:25,350 --> 00:24:22,710
we rely on our commanders of tremendous

383
00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:25,360
experience and leadership and i feel

384
00:24:31,190 --> 00:24:27,440
very fortunate to get to fly with kimia

385
00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:31,200
who is a classmate of mine we started

386
00:24:33,990 --> 00:24:32,640
started astronaut candidate training at

387
00:24:36,149 --> 00:24:34,000
the same time and i've gotten to work

388
00:25:00,390 --> 00:24:36,159
with him extensively extensively over

389
00:25:05,590 --> 00:25:02,950
so i think having that time spending uh

390
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:05,600
spending time training together uh we

391
00:25:10,470 --> 00:25:08,080
come to know each other's uh reactions

392
00:25:11,590 --> 00:25:10,480
to situations um how we use the

393
00:25:14,310 --> 00:25:11,600
procedures

394
00:25:15,909 --> 00:25:14,320
and uh and how we work and i know that

395
00:25:17,430 --> 00:25:15,919
my crewmates are very hard workers and

396
00:25:41,110 --> 00:25:17,440
so i look forward to working with them

397
00:25:47,029 --> 00:25:44,230
so to continue this discussion please

398
00:25:48,149 --> 00:25:47,039
tell us what professional qualities of

399
00:25:50,630 --> 00:25:48,159
each other

400
00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:50,640
you are prepared to indicate at this

401
00:26:01,669 --> 00:25:58,870
tell us what the actual quality of the

402
00:26:06,149 --> 00:26:01,679
crew of the international station is

403
00:26:11,029 --> 00:26:06,159
which will spend many months on on orbit

404
00:26:17,990 --> 00:26:14,310
we are very similar emotionally

405
00:26:22,830 --> 00:26:21,590
just the mindset that is uh almost

406
00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:22,840
the

407
00:26:36,789 --> 00:26:32,400
and interesting ideas

408
00:26:38,950 --> 00:26:36,799
as to how to how to organize our work on

409
00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:38,960
orbit

410
00:26:43,430 --> 00:26:41,760
and when we were in training in a soyuz

411
00:26:46,710 --> 00:26:43,440
vehicle on the russian segment on the

412
00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:48,870
crew members used to come up with all

413
00:26:52,549 --> 00:26:50,840
kinds of

414
00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:52,559
non-standard

415
00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:53,520
uh

416
00:27:01,590 --> 00:26:56,000
approaches to how this training should

417
00:27:08,390 --> 00:27:04,830
we also have a very good sense of humor

418
00:27:10,149 --> 00:27:08,400
which comes in very handy during our

419
00:27:12,789 --> 00:27:10,159
tough

420
00:27:15,430 --> 00:27:12,799
training and preparation so the ability

421
00:27:17,830 --> 00:27:15,440
to find the right word and to address

422
00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:17,840
each other is a great quality that we

423
00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:20,720
all share

424
00:27:26,549 --> 00:27:24,320
um well uh again like i said before i

425
00:27:28,310 --> 00:27:26,559
feel very fortunate to get to fly up his

426
00:27:29,350 --> 00:27:28,320
tremendous experience

427
00:27:31,590 --> 00:27:29,360
um

428
00:27:46,830 --> 00:27:31,600
with his previous flights and with his

429
00:27:49,990 --> 00:27:48,630
um i think that he is find that he's

430
00:27:52,470 --> 00:27:50,000
very calm

431
00:27:55,510 --> 00:27:52,480
very good at making decisions as well as

432
00:27:57,190 --> 00:27:55,520
delegating um work to kenya and i so

433
00:28:15,350 --> 00:27:57,200
that we work effect we work effectively

434
00:28:20,070 --> 00:28:18,230
since uh 2009 so over five years almost

435
00:28:22,230 --> 00:28:20,080
six years now

436
00:28:23,590 --> 00:28:22,240
we trained together

437
00:28:34,389 --> 00:28:23,600
quite a bit when we were astronaut

438
00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:36,230
he always has a positive attitude and

439
00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:39,520
he's a very hard worker uh and i know uh

440
00:28:44,630 --> 00:28:42,640
that we are very fortunate to have

441
00:29:10,149 --> 00:28:44,640
um i'm very fortunate to have both of

442
00:29:10,159 --> 00:29:14,870
our commander is very experienced

443
00:29:17,590 --> 00:29:16,549
and

444
00:29:19,190 --> 00:29:17,600
always

445
00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:19,200
knowledgeable

446
00:29:22,549 --> 00:29:21,760
about what we're trying to accomplish

447
00:29:25,190 --> 00:29:22,559
so

448
00:29:29,750 --> 00:29:25,200
he leads us always he tells us what we

449
00:29:34,549 --> 00:29:31,990
and he's very calm

450
00:29:36,710 --> 00:29:34,559
which is very important

451
00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:36,720
it is important to fly in space being

452
00:29:42,549 --> 00:29:38,240
calm

453
00:29:45,669 --> 00:29:43,510
to

454
00:29:49,190 --> 00:29:45,679
become the member of this particular

455
00:29:54,549 --> 00:29:51,029
because

456
00:30:00,950 --> 00:29:54,559
if we work hand in hand together we will

457
00:30:05,750 --> 00:30:03,110
it's very easy

458
00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:05,760
to find the common

459
00:30:13,269 --> 00:30:09,600
uh grounds with my crewmates and i'm

460
00:30:17,990 --> 00:30:13,279
sure would be able to do a nice job on

461
00:30:22,310 --> 00:30:19,990
one more question for you

462
00:30:27,110 --> 00:30:22,320
you're an engineer so i'd like to ask

463
00:30:30,549 --> 00:30:28,870
there were two failures of the progress

464
00:30:32,710 --> 00:30:30,559
vehicle over the course of the last four

465
00:30:35,590 --> 00:30:32,720
years

466
00:30:37,350 --> 00:30:36,070
do you engineer

467
00:30:40,230 --> 00:30:37,360
any fears

468
00:30:45,830 --> 00:30:40,240
before the actual flight associated with

469
00:30:51,909 --> 00:30:49,110
i don't have a fear a

470
00:30:53,110 --> 00:30:51,919
natural kind of wild fear everybody

471
00:30:57,269 --> 00:30:53,120
fears

472
00:30:59,830 --> 00:30:57,279
even if you are using the most reliable

473
00:31:02,710 --> 00:30:59,840
systems you still

474
00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:02,720
will fear and should probably fear

475
00:31:08,870 --> 00:31:05,760
we have a sophisticated escape system

476
00:31:11,110 --> 00:31:08,880
that will help us if anything goes goes

477
00:31:13,029 --> 00:31:11,120
wrong but

478
00:31:16,149 --> 00:31:13,039
otherwise

479
00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:16,159
it's not fear it's maybe just a concern

480
00:31:19,669 --> 00:31:18,640
we are and i am personally concerned

481
00:31:21,350 --> 00:31:19,679
that we

482
00:31:26,470 --> 00:31:21,360
should do a lot of work in order to

483
00:31:28,630 --> 00:31:27,909
as for

484
00:31:31,110 --> 00:31:28,640
the

485
00:31:34,950 --> 00:31:31,120
technology

486
00:31:38,310 --> 00:31:34,960
that rsc energy uh demonstrates we

487
00:31:40,470 --> 00:31:38,320
totally rely on our people and on their

488
00:32:04,630 --> 00:31:40,480
capability to come up with a fine

489
00:32:09,590 --> 00:32:07,029
you have spent more than any other

490
00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:09,600
japanese cosmonauts or astronauts in

491
00:32:20,070 --> 00:32:18,070
and also

492
00:32:25,830 --> 00:32:20,080
that you have been helped very much

493
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:30,870
i i love russia dearly

494
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,470
and this is true what you said

495
00:32:39,269 --> 00:32:37,350
uh people here are very kind

496
00:32:40,070 --> 00:32:39,279
and during the training

497
00:32:46,230 --> 00:32:40,080
i

498
00:32:47,830 --> 00:32:46,240
a lot of people

499
00:32:51,190 --> 00:32:47,840
treated me

500
00:32:57,190 --> 00:32:51,200
in the best way possible they're very

501
00:32:59,669 --> 00:32:57,990
and

502
00:33:00,630 --> 00:32:59,679
i always

503
00:33:01,830 --> 00:33:00,640
felt

504
00:33:03,350 --> 00:33:01,840
here

505
00:33:05,909 --> 00:33:03,360
at home

506
00:33:22,389 --> 00:33:05,919
it helps very much

507
00:33:28,549 --> 00:33:24,789
i i have visited the united states of

508
00:33:30,310 --> 00:33:28,559
america as well and i like uh america

509
00:33:40,710 --> 00:33:30,320
as well

510
00:33:47,190 --> 00:33:43,909
and i i have a

511
00:33:48,710 --> 00:33:47,200
prominent career as a

512
00:33:51,509 --> 00:33:48,720
as a

513
00:33:55,750 --> 00:33:54,870
and this helped me tremendously in order

514
00:34:06,310 --> 00:33:55,760
to

515
00:34:09,750 --> 00:34:08,869
your launch has been postponed because

516
00:34:10,869 --> 00:34:09,760
of the

517
00:34:46,310 --> 00:34:10,879
progress

518
00:34:48,950 --> 00:34:47,109
but

519
00:34:50,869 --> 00:34:48,960
of course we're confident in the

520
00:34:52,950 --> 00:34:50,879
engineers professionalism of the russian

521
00:34:55,109 --> 00:34:52,960
space program uh to identify the

522
00:34:56,950 --> 00:34:55,119
problems and to ensure that

523
00:35:08,870 --> 00:34:56,960
that problem does not exist with our

524
00:35:13,910 --> 00:35:11,510
the time that we had during the delay

525
00:35:15,990 --> 00:35:13,920
has given us additional time for

526
00:35:31,349 --> 00:35:16,000
some refresher training to spend time

527
00:35:54,950 --> 00:35:35,430
and so i think now we are ready to fly

528
00:35:54,960 --> 00:36:01,030
um

529
00:36:05,109 --> 00:36:03,030
what something happened and there must

530
00:36:07,510 --> 00:36:05,119
be a reason for that i know and the

531
00:36:16,950 --> 00:36:07,520
people will go and investigate the root

532
00:36:19,990 --> 00:36:18,470
as far as

533
00:36:20,710 --> 00:36:20,000
i'm concerned

534
00:37:10,630 --> 00:36:20,720
i

535
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:23,510
um

536
00:37:28,150 --> 00:37:26,310
what is the most difficult part uh for

537
00:37:30,870 --> 00:37:28,160
you to be on the international space

538
00:37:36,710 --> 00:37:34,069
well it's a matter of getting adjusted

539
00:37:38,470 --> 00:37:36,720
now there are small things like hygiene

540
00:37:41,030 --> 00:37:38,480
for instance that you still have to

541
00:37:43,510 --> 00:37:41,040
adjust yourself to because

542
00:37:44,310 --> 00:37:43,520
uh there's no water but you still have

543
00:37:46,550 --> 00:37:44,320
to

544
00:37:47,829 --> 00:37:46,560
uh abide by certain

545
00:37:48,710 --> 00:37:47,839
rules and

546
00:37:55,589 --> 00:37:48,720
to

547
00:37:59,030 --> 00:37:57,030
you all have

548
00:38:01,270 --> 00:37:59,040
many kids

549
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:01,280
what do your children know about the

550
00:38:07,910 --> 00:38:04,960
profession of their fathers

551
00:38:10,390 --> 00:38:07,920
how many details do they have do they

552
00:38:12,069 --> 00:38:10,400
know about the way your training was

553
00:38:17,510 --> 00:38:12,079
done

554
00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:21,109
they will be uh seeing me off

555
00:38:27,670 --> 00:38:23,680
and will be expecting me on the ground

556
00:38:33,270 --> 00:38:30,310
the launch is a very emotional scene

557
00:38:37,829 --> 00:38:33,280
emotional event

558
00:38:41,589 --> 00:38:39,670
they were

559
00:38:44,790 --> 00:38:41,599
actually scared

560
00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:44,800
and and the the launch of the rocket

561
00:38:50,470 --> 00:38:47,760
did have an impact on them now they're a

562
00:38:52,710 --> 00:38:50,480
little bit older so hopefully the effect

563
00:38:55,510 --> 00:38:52,720
is not going to be nearly as severe as

564
00:38:57,750 --> 00:38:55,520
it used to be i got the

565
00:39:12,950 --> 00:38:57,760
opportunity to bring my wife and

566
00:39:16,630 --> 00:39:15,190
got to see training here at star city

567
00:39:29,910 --> 00:39:16,640
and we'll be coming out to watch the

568
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:32,390
i'm very grateful for their support and

569
00:39:56,950 --> 00:39:34,800
uh and grateful that i get to share this

570
00:40:01,829 --> 00:39:59,670
i think my kids do understand who i am

571
00:40:02,950 --> 00:40:01,839
and what i'm expected to

572
00:40:04,390 --> 00:40:02,960
uh

573
00:40:09,030 --> 00:40:04,400
will be doing

574
00:40:12,470 --> 00:40:09,910
and

575
00:40:15,589 --> 00:40:12,480
i miss my family because i have to

576
00:40:17,750 --> 00:40:15,599
travel extensively

577
00:40:20,790 --> 00:40:17,760
it's difficult

578
00:40:22,870 --> 00:40:20,800
but my family does understand

579
00:40:25,349 --> 00:40:22,880
the specifics of

580
00:40:27,589 --> 00:40:25,359
being involved in international space

581
00:40:30,390 --> 00:40:27,599
station activities and i'm very much

582
00:40:31,910 --> 00:40:30,400
grateful to my family for that

583
00:40:35,109 --> 00:40:31,920
and i hope

584
00:40:37,750 --> 00:40:35,119
that when they will be watching

585
00:40:39,349 --> 00:40:37,760
the launch they will have very positive

586
00:41:32,870 --> 00:40:39,359
feelings about that

587
00:41:55,109 --> 00:41:46,870
foreign

588
00:42:08,710 --> 00:41:57,190
so the question was how do you feel

589
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:10,550
was that there is a lot of people in

590
00:42:15,030 --> 00:42:13,040
japan who are very much interested and

591
00:42:17,190 --> 00:42:15,040
they are keeping an eye on the

592
00:42:19,750 --> 00:42:17,200
developments of this preparation for

593
00:42:20,950 --> 00:42:19,760
this flight

594
00:42:23,750 --> 00:42:20,960
and i'm sure

595
00:42:26,069 --> 00:42:23,760
this is all done this delay

596
00:42:27,109 --> 00:42:26,079
happens because of the safety concerns

597
00:42:29,109 --> 00:42:27,119
and

598
00:42:33,190 --> 00:42:29,119
there will be no other

599
00:42:41,990 --> 00:42:35,750
the press conference is almost over let

600
00:42:45,670 --> 00:42:43,750
what are your plans as far as seeing

601
00:42:47,750 --> 00:42:45,680
your colleagues off

602
00:42:56,390 --> 00:42:47,760
uh we know you're going to be

603
00:43:03,510 --> 00:42:57,829
we know that uh they're very well

604
00:43:08,550 --> 00:43:05,510
and uh i think they're all aware

605
00:43:17,109 --> 00:43:10,710
how special the opportunity is to fly in

606
00:43:39,030 --> 00:43:19,750
so i guess my advice is to treasure each

607
00:43:45,510 --> 00:43:43,030
obviously and our goal is to

608
00:43:48,309 --> 00:43:45,520
stand by the primary crew

609
00:43:51,990 --> 00:43:48,319
and to help them out in every aspect of

610
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:57,190
so we will be supporting the prime crew

611
00:44:02,309 --> 00:43:59,349
and at least we will try not to cause

612
00:44:07,750 --> 00:44:04,550
so everything gets done

613
00:44:09,990 --> 00:44:07,760
strictly in accordance with the schedule

614
00:44:14,870 --> 00:44:10,000
and hopefully the launch is going to be

615
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:20,710
do you have any wishes and voices

616
00:44:24,630 --> 00:44:22,550
i just to reiterate what tim and jury

617
00:44:27,030 --> 00:44:24,640
have said really and uh i wish them a

618
00:44:29,349 --> 00:44:27,040
very safe and successful mission

619
00:44:31,430 --> 00:44:29,359
and uh i look forward to the prospect of

620
00:44:33,990 --> 00:44:31,440
actually sharing some time on board the

621
00:44:36,550 --> 00:44:34,000
space station with the flying crew when

622
00:44:38,230 --> 00:44:36,560
we do our handover in december and

623
00:44:39,910 --> 00:44:38,240
there's a new astronaut flying to the

624
00:44:41,670 --> 00:44:39,920
space station for the first time i

625
00:44:43,829 --> 00:44:41,680
certainly look forward to learning from

626
00:44:48,550 --> 00:44:43,839
their experiences over the next five to

627
00:44:53,109 --> 00:44:51,270
and our goal is the prime crew not only

628
00:44:54,630 --> 00:44:53,119
to accomplish everything that has been

629
00:44:57,910 --> 00:44:54,640
planned

630
00:45:01,349 --> 00:44:57,920
but uh set up the stage for the crew of

631
00:45:05,349 --> 00:45:01,359
yuri malenchenko to come to the station

632
00:45:07,829 --> 00:45:05,359
later on and do a fine job in in their

633
00:45:11,270 --> 00:45:10,230
thank you very much

634
00:45:13,990 --> 00:45:11,280

635
00:45:15,270 --> 00:45:14,000
colleagues we would like to state that

636
00:45:18,550 --> 00:45:15,280
uh the

637
00:45:19,670 --> 00:45:18,560
crews will wrap up their training on

638
00:45:20,870 --> 00:45:19,680
july

639
00:45:23,190 --> 00:45:20,880
the 10th

640

and then the crews will be traveling
