1 00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:24,310 good morning 2 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:41,270 nice polo 3 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:49,350 good to see you 4 00:00:49,360 --> 00:01:20,149 ready to go 5 00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:28,469 you're welcome 6 00:02:14,869 --> 00:01:50,630 foreign 7 00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:26,309 a bit closer 8 00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:43,190 thank you very much dmitry alexandrovich 9 00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:45,910 there is too many people on one side 10 00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:56,869 what is the main purpose of your 11 00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:09,589 i mean some scientific research is maybe 12 00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:11,190 it's pretty hard 13 00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:14,879 to uh outline the actual goals of the 14 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:17,360 expedition 15 00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:19,680 but what exactly 16 00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:21,920 is the essence of what you will be doing 17 00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:25,040 on orbit i was talking to that during 18 00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:27,120 the press conference 19 00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:28,959 there is a lot of very interesting and 20 00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:30,640 important experiments that we are 21 00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:34,879 supposed to uh perform one orbit 22 00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:37,440 experiment dan for instance 23 00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:38,400 it's a 24 00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:39,519 study 25 00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:41,200 of the 26 00:03:44,949 --> 00:03:42,560 central 27 00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:44,959 nervous and breathing 28 00:03:49,190 --> 00:03:48,000 system of a human being of a cosmonaut 29 00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:49,200 and 30 00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:51,519 great many different 31 00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:53,760 experiments that have been done on orbit 32 00:03:56,789 --> 00:03:55,760 for quite some time for instance plasma 33 00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:56,799 crystal 34 00:04:01,589 --> 00:03:58,959 so like i said i cannot remember 35 00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:01,599 everything off the top of my head but 36 00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:03,840 it's going to be a variety of different 37 00:04:07,589 --> 00:04:06,000 interesting experiments and activities 38 00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:07,599 and we won't 39 00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:16,550 could you characterize the training 40 00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:20,639 process what did you have to go through 41 00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:23,199 well it's not an easy task to 42 00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:26,320 get trained to fly in space 43 00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:29,840 so the training is complex it's uh long 44 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,749 you are about to fly to baikonur 45 00:04:45,510 --> 00:04:41,990 you finished up all the training 46 00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:48,070 and hopefully even the way that you had 47 00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:50,320 to go through 48 00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:52,080 something that you will 49 00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:54,320 use and need 50 00:04:58,629 --> 00:04:56,320 during the flight and i hope that the 51 00:05:01,590 --> 00:04:58,639 training a lot of training that we had 52 00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:01,600 done particularly survival training is 53 00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:04,240 something that we will not have to use 54 00:05:08,830 --> 00:05:06,560 during the flight we will successfully 55 00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:08,840 land without those 56 00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:11,520 complications but on the other hand it 57 00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:13,120 adds the 58 00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:15,840 assurance that we will manage to get out 59 00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:18,880 of any difficult situation if 60 00:05:22,469 --> 00:05:20,720 this is something that will happen but 61 00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:22,479 otherwise we're thinking about this 62 00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:25,680 science mostly the research which is the 63 00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:28,160 uh most part of what we are concerned 64 00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:36,469 when you were doing last steps as part 65 00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:38,560 of your training at which point did you 66 00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:40,960 feel that you are just a team 67 00:05:45,749 --> 00:05:43,360 well we had some frictions and we had 68 00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:48,950 minutes and moments when we were trying 69 00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:52,160 to adjust to each other adapt to each 70 00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,000 other but otherwise 71 00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:56,160 chill and keemia 72 00:06:00,710 --> 00:05:58,720 uh are very similar and we very soon 73 00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:00,720 we've realized that we are very much 74 00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:03,120 similar we are very positive when it 75 00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:06,000 comes to our attitude towards life we 76 00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,189 and we are ready 77 00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:15,430 and it's just an excellent opportunity 78 00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:17,919 so we are uh so honored to be a part of 79 00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:20,720 the legacy of the apollo soyuz 80 00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:23,840 docking that occurred now 40 years ago 81 00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:25,680 we are excited to get up to the space 82 00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:28,479 station and start the research that will 83 00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:31,520 help us extend our presence in space and 84 00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:34,000 and bring benefit back to mankind here 85 00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:40,230 well my background is in physiology and 86 00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:41,840 i'm a medical doctor so i'm very 87 00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:43,600 interested in the life sciences research 88 00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:45,600 and how we adapt and and can provide 89 00:06:48,629 --> 00:06:47,360 countermeasures to the astronauts that 90 00:07:40,150 --> 00:06:48,639 are in cosmonauts that are living on the 91 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:46,950 sorry i had to do it in japanese 92 00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:48,790 how did you sleep this night prior to 93 00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:56,469 i think we are no longer nervous 94 00:08:00,869 --> 00:07:58,400 we've been waiting for 95 00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:00,879 two months and we should have been on 96 00:08:04,629 --> 00:08:03,120 orbit two months ago so we kind of 97 00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:04,639 overweighted
