00:00:15,589 --> 00:00:13,110
houston this is station we're ready

4
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:15,599
fox news this is mission control houston

5
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:26,630
station this is fine

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,110

michael you as well scott i want to

10
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:39,760
start with you i watched a short

11
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:41,760
documentary of your preparation for

12
00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:43,840
leaving it was very emotional i want to

13
00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:45,840
check in with you you're four months in

14
00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:47,760
in addition to emotionally but

15
00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:49,920
physically how are you doing and have

16
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:52,239
you done any analysis in comparing your

17
00:00:59,110 --> 00:00:54,960
body now physically to your brother here

18
00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:02,549
yeah so i'm uh i'm doing well uh

19
00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:05,519
you know both uh mentally and and

20
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:07,040
physically

21
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:08,400
um

22
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:12,400
a lot of the experiments we do are

23
00:01:17,109 --> 00:01:14,880
you know the the it's data that's

24
00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:17,119
collected in various ways whether it's a

25
00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:19,840
blood sample in our dna and

26
00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:22,400
proteins and things that we can measure

27
00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:25,200
that way our bone mass

28
00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:27,200
muscle mass

29
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:29,360
and some of this stuff is analyzed over

30
00:01:32,469 --> 00:01:30,960
periods of time and

31
00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:32,479
and collected on the ground when i get

32
00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:34,560
back so there's no real active

33
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:37,759
comparison between my brother and i

34
00:01:42,789 --> 00:01:40,000
uh while i'm in space or anything that

35
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:42,799
we can really uh you know see and and

36
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:45,600
and you know point to as significant

37
00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:47,680
changes but you know that's why we're

38
00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:48,880
doing this and i'm sure there'll be a

39
00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:49,840
lot of

40
00:02:02,389 --> 00:01:59,510
absolutely and i want to talk to a

41
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:02,399
little bit about uh you know the

42
00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:04,320
just physically being away from your

43
00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:06,960
family how often are you able to talk to

44
00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:09,599
them on a daily basis tell me about

45
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:11,840
you know any access to social media i

46
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:20,869
yeah it is a long time and

47
00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:23,440
you know we're uh one-third of the way

48
00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:25,520
into this and i think misha would agree

49
00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:27,520
we both feel like we've been up here for

50
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:30,080
a really long time like you said uh and

51
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:32,319
we got two-thirds in front of us

52
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:34,720
um but we have a a very good capability

53
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:38,640
to to connect with friends and family

54
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:41,280
at home via a telephone that works

55
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:43,840
pretty good and it's available about

56
00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:46,560
you know about 75-80 percent of the time

57
00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:48,959
um you know in the course of a you know

58
00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:51,360
an hour we may have 50 minutes sometimes

59
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:54,000
a full hour of availability there's also

60
00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:56,160
email and it's uh you know it's

61
00:03:01,110 --> 00:02:58,480
connected real time the email is as long

62
00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:01,120
as we have this uh

63
00:03:04,869 --> 00:03:03,519
ku band antenna capability that provides

64
00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:04,879
us with the phone and we also have

65
00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:06,480
internet connection

66
00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:08,800
even though it's slow it uh it still

67
00:03:12,949 --> 00:03:11,200
allows us to get on the internet and

68
00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:12,959
you know maybe look at our ground email

69
00:03:17,589 --> 00:03:15,280
accounts or you know various social

70
00:03:19,509 --> 00:03:17,599
media things we can interact with with

71
00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:19,519
ourselves from the space station so it's

72
00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:21,440
a it's a pretty good capability we have

73
00:03:32,309 --> 00:03:30,470
beautiful and i had another question for

74
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:32,319
i have a question for michaela if that's

75
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:34,720
okay now michael i know you were raised

76
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:37,280
in a military family so uh you're

77
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:39,280
probably used to moving around quite a

78
00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:42,000
bit so i want to ask you what is a daily

79
00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:44,640
day like for you obviously as well as

80
00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:46,640
scott but is it hard for you not to be

81
00:04:11,429 --> 00:03:50,159
able to move around and go outside

82
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:13,429
you're absolutely right i'm a military

83
00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:26,070
well i disagree that i'm not getting

84
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:28,240
outside the threshold because we are

85
00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:30,800
going to have an eva soon

86
00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:33,840
so i will be out airing myself out for

87
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:36,800
about seven hours

88
00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:40,240
and every day we go around the world so

89
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:42,639
i can't complain everything's wonderful

90
00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:51,670
okay i'm going to follow up with that

91
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:53,600
mikhail just one more tell me more about

92
00:05:08,629 --> 00:04:54,800
your spacewalk that's going to be

93
00:05:13,189 --> 00:05:12,310
absolutely correct the eva is on august

94
00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:13,199
10th

95
00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:15,520
it will be about six and a half to seven

96
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:17,520
hours as i said before

97
00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:20,160
and we will have about 10 tasks

98
00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:22,960
we will have to swap some hardware that

99
00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:29,909
we will have to take some

100
00:05:35,749 --> 00:05:33,280
samples of station surfaces

101
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:35,759
so we will have technical and

102
00:05:41,189 --> 00:05:39,440
biological tasks

103
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:41,199
and we are about

104
00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:44,080
half ready for the eva we'll have to

105
00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:45,919
check out our suits

106
00:05:49,110 --> 00:05:47,840
and do the leak checks but we do know

107
00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:49,120
what to do

108
00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:51,120
how to prepare for the eva and we're

109
00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:00,230
great thank you scott i have another

110
00:06:04,469 --> 00:06:02,240
question for you we've been following

111
00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:04,479
your career as well as your brothers how

112
00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:07,039
does this mission differ from missions

113
00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:09,120
in years past and can you give me and

114
00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:11,440
our viewers a little details about the

115
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:18,230
you know

116
00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:20,400
all my flights have been been different

117
00:06:23,909 --> 00:06:22,160
the first three a lot each of them was a

118
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:23,919
lot different i was a pilot on a space

119
00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:25,680
shuttle mission to the hubble space

120
00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:27,280
telescope and then i was the commander

121
00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:28,800
of the space shuttle

122
00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:30,960
to a uh to the space station this space

123
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:33,280
station obviously for a

124
00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:35,360
space station assembly flight and then

125
00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:37,120
my last flight was a long duration

126
00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:39,840
flight on the space station where i was

127
00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:43,280
uh up here for 159 days and then you

128
00:06:46,550 --> 00:06:45,199
know this one in in a lot of ways is

129
00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:46,560
similar but

130
00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:49,360
in uh in very one very significant way

131
00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:50,960
it's it's much different and that is

132
00:06:54,550 --> 00:06:52,960
it's over twice uh

133
00:06:56,469 --> 00:06:54,560
twice as long

134
00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:56,479
uh as the last time

135
00:06:58,870 --> 00:06:57,599
and uh

136
00:07:00,150 --> 00:06:58,880
you know that's

137
00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:00,160
like you know you know a lot of people

138
00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:02,400
realize that that makes it uh somewhat

139
00:07:07,189 --> 00:07:05,039
of a challenge and i recognize that too

140
00:07:08,870 --> 00:07:07,199
um but one interesting thing

141
00:07:10,710 --> 00:07:08,880
and that's part of your the next part of

142
00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:10,720
your question is it allows me to be up

143
00:07:13,029 --> 00:07:12,160
here with a bunch of different people we

144
00:07:16,309 --> 00:07:13,039
had

145
00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:16,319
uh three uh crew members that left uh

146
00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:19,440
home now um almost uh

147
00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:20,960
you know about a little over two months

148
00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:24,160
ago and uh and it was a great experience

149
00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:26,400
being up here with them uh

150
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:28,960
samantha christopher reddy from east uh

151
00:07:34,390 --> 00:07:31,360
terry verts from nasa and anton

152
00:07:37,430 --> 00:07:34,400
shkaplerov and and uh just recently

153
00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:37,440
about a week ago we got three new crew

154
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:40,000
members that replaced them

155
00:07:46,629 --> 00:07:43,039
uh kimia yui from jaxa chell lingard

156
00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:46,639
from nasa and oleg kononenko from uh the

157
00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:48,479
russian space agency

158
00:07:52,629 --> 00:07:51,120
and in uh about a month we're gonna have

159
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:52,639
three more people come up here and we'll

160
00:07:56,469 --> 00:07:54,720
have a crew of nine and then eventually

161
00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:56,479
the three guys that got up here will

162
00:08:00,390 --> 00:07:58,319
leave after their six-month stint is

163
00:08:01,189 --> 00:08:00,400
over and we'll get uh more crew members

164
00:08:02,710 --> 00:08:01,199
so

165
00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:02,720
you know but the whole time we're here

166
00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:04,240
misha and i'll be up here with 13

167
00:08:07,749 --> 00:08:06,080
different people um

168
00:08:09,909 --> 00:08:07,759
which makes it uh

169
00:08:12,070 --> 00:08:09,919
you know a much richer experience being

170
00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:12,080
able to share this great space station

171
00:08:20,550 --> 00:08:14,560
with so many uh very people from a bunch

172
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:22,710
right and and you're not lonely and i

173
00:08:25,749 --> 00:08:24,080
know we only have about a minute left

174
00:08:28,390 --> 00:08:25,759
and i know your time is very valuable

175
00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:28,400
but i do want to ask you about the young

176
00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:30,319
people today growing up you know i

177
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:31,840
remember it was the best time of year

178
00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:33,440
when we held a science fair and we

179
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:35,120
learned so much about space and the

180
00:08:39,829 --> 00:08:37,440
planets do you think that your mission

181
00:08:41,509 --> 00:08:39,839
this year up there is going to reignite

182
00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:41,519
the passion of young people especially

183
00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:43,039
with the release of the new photos of

184
00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:49,829
well you know i i hope uh you know not

185
00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:52,080
only what misha and i are doing here but

186
00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:54,480
you know our entire program the

187
00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:56,320
international space station program as

188
00:08:59,350 --> 00:08:58,000
well as the other thing like you know

189
00:09:02,710 --> 00:08:59,360
you mentioned the

190
00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:02,720
the uh science mission to pluto uh what

191
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:05,200
we do is very very challenging and it's

192
00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:06,880
uh you know it's got

193
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:08,399
you know it's got some risk it's got

194
00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:10,160
great rewards

195
00:09:15,829 --> 00:09:12,560
and i hope you know people look at this

196
00:09:17,509 --> 00:09:15,839
flight and you know nasa's experience uh

197
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:17,519
in general with the international

198
00:09:21,509 --> 00:09:19,600
partnership as something to motivate

199
00:09:23,509 --> 00:09:21,519
kids to do things that are challenging

200
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:23,519
and hard and then be successful at them

201
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:32,710
well i know your time is very

202
00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:34,720
very valuable scott

enjoyed talking to you today

208
00:09:56,150 --> 00:09:54,230
station this is houston acr that

209
00:09:58,310 --> 00:09:56,160
concludes the fox news portion of the

210
00:10:01,030 --> 00:09:58,320
event please stand by for a voice check

211
00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:01,040
from reuters tv

uh we have you loud and clear welcome

214
00:10:12,069 --> 00:10:09,920
aboard the international space station

215
00:10:14,069 --> 00:10:12,079
it's a real honor thank you so much we

216
00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:14,079
really appreciate it so um scott i'd

217
00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:15,519
like to start with you you're about a

218
00:10:19,509 --> 00:10:17,440
third of the way through this mission

219
00:10:25,829 --> 00:10:19,519
how are you feeling at this point and

220
00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:28,790
um i'm i'm feeling great i think misha

221
00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:30,560
is feeling great as well i think we you

222
00:10:35,110 --> 00:10:32,880
know we still have a lot of energy uh

223
00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:35,120
left in the tank so to speak

224
00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:37,040
and uh you know

225
00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:39,120
the i guess the only surprise was when i

226
00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:41,600
first got up here how i felt like uh

227
00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:43,120
you know i'd kind of picked up where i

228
00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:44,880
left off and it's kind of amazing how

229
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:46,800
your your body and your

230
00:10:50,389 --> 00:10:48,240
you know your ability to work in this

231
00:10:52,470 --> 00:10:50,399
environment remembers uh what it was

232
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:52,480
like the last time so uh that's really

233
00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:54,720
the only surprise i've had

234
00:10:59,110 --> 00:10:56,640
okay it's really fun to watch you guys

235
00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:59,120
just do a somersault there are you used

236
00:11:02,949 --> 00:11:01,200
to the microgravity environment does it

237
00:11:05,190 --> 00:11:02,959
still thrill you are you just accustomed

238
00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:05,200
to it and can you do another somersault

239
00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:10,310
you know i don't

240
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:14,079
you know it never really gets old for me

241
00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:17,200
and you get much better at it

242
00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:19,920
flipping around

243
00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:23,040
you know in some ways though it it

244
00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:25,519
it does become somewhat transparent to

245
00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:29,040
you at times which then when you when

246
00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:30,800
you kind of recognize when it's becoming

247
00:11:34,230 --> 00:11:32,320
sort of a transparent thing you think

248
00:11:35,829 --> 00:11:34,240
wow this is really weird that i'm living

249
00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:35,839
up here where everything floats and i'm

250
00:11:40,949 --> 00:11:38,880
in uh space for so long

251
00:11:42,310 --> 00:11:40,959
it's awesome to see can you tell us a

252
00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:42,320
little bit about how you're feeling in

253
00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:43,920
terms of staying in touch with family

254
00:11:47,509 --> 00:11:45,360
and friends how do you keep up with

255
00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:47,519
current events and you're making a real

256
00:11:51,269 --> 00:11:49,279
splash on social media with all those

257
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:51,279
pictures you know the nile and the

258
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:53,680
sunsets they're just extraordinary were

259
00:11:56,629 --> 00:11:54,959
you planning that does it happen

260
00:12:01,110 --> 00:11:56,639
organically and how connected do you

261
00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:03,350
well we have a really good capability to

262
00:12:07,829 --> 00:12:05,120
stay connected with

263
00:12:10,069 --> 00:12:07,839
our telephone we have that's available

264
00:12:12,389 --> 00:12:10,079
you know most of the time probably about

265
00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:12,399
75 80 percent of the time

266
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:15,040
uh we have email it's uh you know kind

267
00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:18,320
of real time synced up the our inboxes

268
00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:19,360
are

269
00:12:22,870 --> 00:12:20,880
and then we have a

270
00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:22,880
capability to access the internet and

271
00:12:27,509 --> 00:12:25,760
that's kind of how i post things on uh

272
00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:27,519
on twitter

273
00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:32,790
so we we do have a good capability to

274
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:35,680
stay connected which is great

275
00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:38,000
and as far as the the pictures and stuff

276
00:12:41,110 --> 00:12:40,160
i post it's it's fun for me and i think

277
00:12:41,990 --> 00:12:41,120
uh

278
00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:42,000
people

279
00:12:46,790 --> 00:12:44,399
um you know they they connect with with

280
00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:46,800
things that uh you know with the earth

281
00:12:50,310 --> 00:12:48,480
and things that they can see and things

282
00:12:52,150 --> 00:12:50,320
that are beautiful and we have you know

283
00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:52,160
the earth's passing down right now we're

284
00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:54,320
over the pacific ocean we can look down

285
00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:56,800
250 miles and it's always uh an

286
00:13:01,590 --> 00:12:59,519
incredible view

287
00:13:03,110 --> 00:13:01,600
i can only imagine uh real quickly

288
00:13:04,629 --> 00:13:03,120
before i move on to mikhail can tell me

289
00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:04,639
about the science and the research how's

290
00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:07,120
it going the twin study

291
00:13:15,829 --> 00:13:13,190
yeah so we have you know this is an

292
00:13:17,990 --> 00:13:15,839
incredible laboratory we have over 400

293
00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:18,000
different experiments going on

294
00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:20,160
over the course of the year that misha

295
00:13:24,629 --> 00:13:22,079
and i are here and they're in all

296
00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:24,639
different types of disciplines there are

297
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:26,320
you know they're basically broken up

298
00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:28,320
into you know three different categories

299
00:13:33,269 --> 00:13:30,240
there's the the international science

300
00:13:35,269 --> 00:13:33,279
that's it's a pretty large range of

301
00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:35,279
scientific disciplines and then the nasa

302
00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:36,160
stuff

303
00:13:42,150 --> 00:13:39,440
is uh is devoted to

304
00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:42,160
things that allow us to understand

305
00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:44,480
better about our you know systems on the

306
00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:46,480
space station but then us also us

307
00:13:50,949 --> 00:13:48,800
physically so we can travel further away

308
00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:50,959
from space exploration

309
00:13:55,590 --> 00:13:53,120
based uh science and then there's a

310
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:55,600
stuff that is uh you know more earth

311
00:13:59,670 --> 00:13:57,680
looking whether it's actually you know

312
00:14:01,829 --> 00:13:59,680
sensors and and monitoring the earth's

313
00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:01,839
environment but also ways to improve

314
00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:04,399
life on earth whether it's uh you know

315
00:14:08,710 --> 00:14:06,160
with a medical type experiment

316
00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:08,720
developing new treatments or drugs for

317
00:14:13,189 --> 00:14:11,920
certain ailments or whether they're uh

318
00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:13,199
experiments that look at certain

319
00:14:18,790 --> 00:14:15,040
physical properties so maybe we can make

320
00:14:21,269 --> 00:14:18,800
a better more fuel-efficient engine

321
00:14:23,350 --> 00:14:21,279
so uh it's basically along those lines

322
00:14:25,350 --> 00:14:23,360
and as far as the experiment with my

323
00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:25,360
brother and i that's you know one part

324
00:14:29,990 --> 00:14:26,800
of

325
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:30,000
the the science that's exploration based

326
00:14:34,629 --> 00:14:31,760
but a lot of those samples are stuff

327
00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:34,639
that are analyzed later and you know

328
00:14:38,629 --> 00:14:36,240
even the ones that were returned on the

329
00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:38,639
soyuz for instance my understanding is

330
00:14:43,189 --> 00:14:40,560
they've gotten great data

331
00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:43,199
now as far as analyzing that data and

332
00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:45,440
comparing you know how my dna has

333
00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:46,880
changed in the course of the time i've

334
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:48,480
been here compared to my brother i

335
00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:50,160
haven't heard any results on that and i

336
00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:51,760
don't expect to until

337
00:14:56,150 --> 00:14:54,000
after i get home one more quick question

338
00:14:57,829 --> 00:14:56,160
for you how is life aboard the space

339
00:15:02,310 --> 00:14:57,839
station now that you're up to the full

340
00:15:05,670 --> 00:15:04,550
you know it's great having company um

341
00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:05,680
it's uh

342
00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:07,760
and you know the other interesting thing

343
00:15:11,509 --> 00:15:10,079
about that is great sharing the the

344
00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:11,519
experience with

345
00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:12,880
two people that have never flown in

346
00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:15,760
space before uh chell lindgren from nasa

347
00:15:22,470 --> 00:15:19,360
and kimia yui from the japanese

348
00:15:24,550 --> 00:15:22,480
space agency it's great seeing this

349
00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:24,560
place a little bit through their eyes

350
00:15:29,670 --> 00:15:28,320
and and how magical a place it is and

351
00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:29,680
you know they've been on board a week

352
00:15:33,590 --> 00:15:31,360
now and they're doing absolutely great

353
00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:33,600
uh you know performing like veterans

354
00:15:38,150 --> 00:15:36,160
feeling great and it's great to share

355
00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:38,160
this experience with them

356
00:15:41,829 --> 00:15:40,160
thank you uh mikhail what is the status

357
00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:41,839
of spacewalk's plan to prepare the

358
00:15:45,829 --> 00:15:44,000
station for upcoming u.s commercial crew

359
00:16:04,790 --> 00:15:45,839
vehicles especially following the loss

360
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:19,430
foreign

361
00:16:25,990 --> 00:16:22,550
and there will be a lot of tasks and

362
00:16:28,389 --> 00:16:26,000
of course one of them is

363
00:16:29,910 --> 00:16:28,399
what you mentioned and also we have to

364
00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:29,920
do some work on

365
00:16:35,269 --> 00:16:32,320
science hardware

366
00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:35,279
and to do some work with the

367
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:44,230
and to prepare for commercial vehicles

368
00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:46,069
and as to the loss of

369
00:16:53,269 --> 00:16:47,680
one of the vehicles

370
00:17:06,630 --> 00:16:55,430
so we are going to

371
00:17:11,350 --> 00:17:08,549
i think that others

372
00:17:13,909 --> 00:17:11,360
who are not doing the eva are a bit

373
00:17:16,069 --> 00:17:13,919
envious but okay they will be their turn

374
00:17:18,549 --> 00:17:16,079
able to send a supply stip ship or

375
00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:18,559
supply ship in july what impacts have

376
00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:20,160
you felt from the back-to-back losses of

377
00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:31,350
well from a uh a supply standpoint we're

378
00:17:35,190 --> 00:17:33,520
we're in uh we're in fine shape on board

379
00:17:37,029 --> 00:17:35,200
the space station and

380
00:17:39,110 --> 00:17:37,039
we'll continue to be you know we need

381
00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:39,120
htv to get up here or we we start

382
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:41,280
running low on things but we have uh

383
00:17:45,350 --> 00:17:44,240
every expectation that that will happen

384
00:17:46,710 --> 00:17:45,360
um

385
00:17:48,230 --> 00:17:46,720
we were gonna i think what you were

386
00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:48,240
alluding to in the in the previous

387
00:17:52,230 --> 00:17:50,080
question about the you know the

388
00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:52,240
commercial vehicles and the eva were

389
00:17:56,950 --> 00:17:54,720
some evas we had upcoming here on the

390
00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:56,960
the us segment of the space station

391
00:18:02,310 --> 00:17:59,760
and and some of that hardware was lost

392
00:18:04,549 --> 00:18:02,320
but we'll recover from it we have

393
00:18:05,909 --> 00:18:04,559
some other capability on the ground that

394
00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:05,919
we can

395
00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:08,160
you know prepare and then launch

396
00:18:14,950 --> 00:18:11,840
and uh and have the commercial vehicle

397
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:14,960
capability ready for when it's required

398
00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:16,640
so um

399
00:18:19,830 --> 00:18:17,840
you know any

400
00:18:21,990 --> 00:18:19,840
things that we lost on those two

401
00:18:23,029 --> 00:18:22,000
vehicles has been somewhat transparent

402
00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:23,039
to us

403
00:18:26,549 --> 00:18:24,320
you know with the exception of we're not

404
00:18:28,870 --> 00:18:26,559
preparing for those u.s evas that we're

405
00:18:30,789 --> 00:18:28,880
going to be doing a little bit sooner

406
00:18:32,470 --> 00:18:30,799
okay and one more question here just in

407
00:18:34,870 --> 00:18:32,480
terms of daily life i think people are

408
00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:34,880
fascinated on what it's like up there

409
00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:36,240
are you feeling cooped up are you

410
00:18:40,390 --> 00:18:38,080
feeling claustrophobic do you miss

411
00:18:42,230 --> 00:18:40,400
nature is there anything you miss or are

412
00:18:44,230 --> 00:18:42,240
you still

413
00:18:49,110 --> 00:18:44,240
really excited and

414
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:50,470
that's you know it's an interesting

415
00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:51,440
question

416
00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:54,400
i personally don't feel like

417
00:18:58,789 --> 00:18:56,160
claustrophobic

418
00:19:02,230 --> 00:18:58,799
but i do recognize there's a sense of

419
00:19:04,150 --> 00:19:02,240
like a loss of freedom to kind of do

420
00:19:06,789 --> 00:19:04,160
you know what you choose you have a very

421
00:19:09,669 --> 00:19:06,799
structured schedule and you follow that

422
00:19:10,470 --> 00:19:09,679
schedule uh you know very closely

423
00:19:12,549 --> 00:19:10,480
and

424
00:19:14,789 --> 00:19:12,559
you know if you wanted to deviate from

425
00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:14,799
it you really don't have that capability

426
00:19:18,870 --> 00:19:17,280
um and i also get the sense that you

427
00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:18,880
don't have the capability to like go

428
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:20,880
outside and take a walk and put your

429
00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:23,520
feet in the grass and you know

430
00:19:27,270 --> 00:19:25,760
go swimming jump in you know take a

431
00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:27,280
shower things like that that's

432
00:19:31,990 --> 00:19:29,120
definitely recognized so there's there

433
00:19:32,950 --> 00:19:32,000
are some hardships uh that we live with

434
00:19:33,909 --> 00:19:32,960
up here

435
00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:33,919
but

436
00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:35,840
on the other hand it's it's an amazing

437
00:19:40,630 --> 00:19:38,640
place it's fascinating and

438
00:19:41,510 --> 00:19:40,640
you know it's a it's a great experience

439
00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:41,520
so

440
00:19:45,110 --> 00:19:43,200
you know i don't think claustrophobic is

441
00:19:46,549 --> 00:19:45,120
the right word but you definitely get a

442
00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:46,559
sense that you know you're here and

443
00:19:51,110 --> 00:19:49,760
you're not leaving for a long time

444
00:19:52,950 --> 00:19:51,120
well it's fascinating to be able to do

445
00:19:55,190 --> 00:19:52,960
