your first ever

7
00:00:24,230 --> 00:00:22,560
space walk so huge congratulations on

8
00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:24,240
that you left the space station to get

9
00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:25,920
some maintenance chores done you had a

10
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:27,840
long laundry list if you're going to

11
00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:29,840
call it that of things to do seven hours

12
00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:31,599
over seven hours but did you did you

13
00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:33,440
take a moment before having to knock all

14
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:36,480
those out to kind of soak it all in and

15
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:38,800
really realize how exhilarating

16
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:46,150
yeah there were certain uh

17
00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:48,480
times when there was a little down time

18
00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:50,480
that i could appreciate the view one was

19
00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:52,239
when when i opened we opened up the

20
00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:53,920
hatch and uh

21
00:00:59,110 --> 00:00:56,719
um it took us a little while longer to

22
00:01:01,750 --> 00:00:59,120
get outside so i had the view of the

23
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:01,760
earth down below and uh that was pretty

24
00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:03,840
spectacular um

25
00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:05,439
you know it's really it's kind of hard

26
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:07,360
to describe the difference in the view

27
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:09,200
when you're just looking through the the

28
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,080
thin

29
00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:12,400
pane of glass of the helmet versus

30
00:01:17,350 --> 00:01:14,640
three panes of glass here uh through the

31
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:17,360
window of the space station or the or

32
00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:18,720
the space shuttle it's pretty

33
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:24,230
and with all the extraordinary things

34
00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:25,680
that you do on a daily basis do you

35
00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:27,920
still have those pinch yourself moments

36
00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:29,439
where you kind of sit back maybe at that

37
00:01:36,789 --> 00:01:31,119
time and kind of go you know what this

38
00:01:40,789 --> 00:01:38,870
you know i sometimes i think just when

39
00:01:42,789 --> 00:01:40,799
i'm doing my everyday work here and you

40
00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:42,799
know floating from one place to another

41
00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:44,880
and and doing all the important things

42
00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:47,759
we do i find it hard to believe that i'm

43
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:48,880
actually

44
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:50,560
you know living on the space station and

45
00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:52,720
i've been here since march

46
00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:54,159
and you know that's been the case with

47
00:01:56,469 --> 00:01:55,439
all my flights this is really a

48
00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:56,479
privilege

49
00:02:00,630 --> 00:01:58,799
uh to be able to do this and i think uh

50
00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:00,640
you know the the most of the folks

51
00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:02,560
anyway that that have a chance to do

52
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:09,029
before you laugh you said probably the

53
00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:10,800
toughest part or what you'll miss most

54
00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:13,200
is the human interaction the contact

55
00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:15,360
with others you've been in orbit for 216

56
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:17,520
consecutive days with limited human

57
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,640
contact

58
00:02:22,150 --> 00:02:20,720
uh now that you're at this point is it

59
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:22,160
tougher than you thought it would be

60
00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:30,309
that's uh you know it's hard to say when

61
00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:32,400
you you think back to you know what your

62
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:35,040
expectations were of of i think anything

63
00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:36,800
in life um

64
00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:39,280
i definitely feel like i've been up here

65
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:42,560
for a long time um almost like i have

66
00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:45,760
forgotten what it's like to live on

67
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:46,720
earth

68
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:48,800
and do you know certain

69
00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:50,560
you know all the stuff we get to

70
00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:53,519
experience on earth and i do recognize

71
00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:55,280
that i have a long time

72
00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:57,280
ahead of me you know but having said

73
00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:58,239
that i

74
00:03:02,309 --> 00:02:59,920
i i think i'm pretty sure i'm going to

75
00:03:06,309 --> 00:03:02,319
get through it without much of a

76
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:07,750
how is that for you knowing you're

77
00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:09,360
literally worlds away and there's the

78
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:11,360
detachment and you hear and see all the

79
00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:12,720
things that are happening here on earth

80
00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:14,959
world events news events presidential

81
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:16,720
politics and the race for president we

82
00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:18,800
saw your instagram picture about

83
00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:21,200
hurricane patricia but knowing

84
00:03:24,949 --> 00:03:23,200
that there is that detachment that you

85
00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:24,959
can't be part of is that is that tough

86
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:31,190
you know that's a good question i think

87
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:33,840
i think in some ways you you

88
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:37,200
have a different uh a sense

89
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:41,040
of being you know an audience

90
00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:44,239
for the things that happen on earth

91
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:47,360
and you feel detached from it and i

92
00:03:51,589 --> 00:03:49,360
think as a result you pay

93
00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:51,599
more attention to it with kind of a

94
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,720
different

95
00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:54,640
level of attention

96
00:03:59,670 --> 00:03:58,720
um maybe you know more empathy more

97
00:04:04,470 --> 00:03:59,680
uh

98
00:04:06,789 --> 00:04:04,480
certain things happen and why we are the

99
00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:06,799
way we are and do things that we do

100
00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:08,000
you know it's it's definitely a

101
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:10,400
different perspective that uh

102
00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:13,760
you know i feel like like i have and

103
00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:15,920
you know and i think it's because of we

104
00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:22,469
well it's fascinating your view and how

105
00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:24,800

00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:38,560
uh in that as well so uh you know it's

114
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:39,840
funny that you kind of have your sense

115
00:04:49,510 --> 00:04:47,510
you know i think uh

116
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:49,520
you know we have an obligation to to

117
00:04:55,749 --> 00:04:53,120
share um you know what we do here

118
00:04:58,629 --> 00:04:55,759
and you know certain things like the

119
00:05:01,510 --> 00:04:58,639
incredible view and you know certain

120
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:01,520
like daily life activities i think

121
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:03,600
you know that you know people

122
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:06,000
appreciate so you know i try to do that

123
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:08,800
as much as i i can and as much as my

124
00:05:15,110 --> 00:05:10,720
spare time allows and it's you know

125
00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:16,469
and how about the space burger was it

126
00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:18,320
good and and if not what are you looking

127
00:05:26,790 --> 00:05:19,759
forward to the most when you get back as

128
00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:29,189
well you know his

129
00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:31,199
space burger was not a

130
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:33,919
earth burger so it definitely wasn't as

131
00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:34,720
good

132
00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:39,520
um but as far as you know stuff

133
00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:42,160
stuff to do um

134
00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:43,840
you know i'm definitely looking forward

135
00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:46,639
to the the freedom that that we have and

136
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:48,800
i think i think i appreciate my my

137
00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:50,560
freedom now more than i've been up there

138
00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:52,240
this long you know the ability to just

139
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:54,960
walk outside the ability to decide you

140
00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:56,240
know what you're going to do on a

141
00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:58,639
certain day you know our schedule is

142
00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:00,479
pretty much planned out for us you know

143
00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:02,800
minute by minute most of the days and

144
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:04,319
you know there's a reason for that and

145
00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:06,960
it it makes sense but it still i think

146
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:09,120
causes you to really appreciate the

147
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:10,880
freedom you have to choose what you're

148
00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:12,800
going to do when you're going to do it

149
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:14,880
uh that most people

150
00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:17,039
you know free people on earth enjoy at

151
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:18,720
least which you know we are a part of

152
00:06:22,629 --> 00:06:21,600
that in the united states so

153
00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:22,639
you know something i definitely don't

154
00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:25,440
take for granted take for granted

155
00:06:31,749 --> 00:06:27,680
maybe as much as i did before doing this

156
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:33,350
now like watching the presidential

157
00:06:38,309 --> 00:06:34,800
debate last night we were able to catch

158
00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:40,070
you know we were pretty tired after that

159
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:42,400
eva but i did see some of it on on the

160
00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:45,120
news here that we have uh we have

161
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:47,120
tv news running so i saw some of the

162
00:06:55,029 --> 00:06:52,790

00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:47,199
take me back to that moment where the

182
00:07:54,550 --> 00:07:49,599
hatch opens and it all reveals and it

183
00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:56,390
you know i actually we were we were

184
00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:57,520
early

185
00:08:01,510 --> 00:07:59,759
so i actually wasn't sure whether we

186
00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:01,520
were going to open up the hatch in

187
00:08:05,749 --> 00:08:04,000
daylight or darkness i wasn't quite sure

188
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:05,759
what time of day it was the hatch

189
00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:08,560
doesn't have a window in it so when i

190
00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:10,560
you know cranked it open and it you know

191
00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:12,160
started coming up to see the sunlight

192
00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:13,759
come in was uh

193
00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:15,360
you know it was pretty uh pretty

194
00:08:20,550 --> 00:08:17,680
spectacular and then to have the hatch

195
00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:20,560
open and and uh you know for the time we

196
00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:22,879
did before we went outside and you know

197
00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:25,280
just look at the earth it's uh

198
00:08:28,469 --> 00:08:27,120
you know it's really hard to describe i

199
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:28,479
it was

200
00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:30,160
more um

201
00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:32,800
more impressive more brilliant uh

202
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:34,880
looking through the the helmet than i

203
00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:36,560
expected it to be

204
00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:40,880
so uh yeah it was pretty spectacular

205
00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:43,760
after hundreds of hours of training uh

206
00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:45,519
and years i guess of anticipation for

207
00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:46,880
the first one

208
00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:49,279
how different is it than being in the

209
00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:56,870
you know the other thing i was actually

210
00:09:01,750 --> 00:08:59,279
surprised about which i wasn't expecting

211
00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:01,760
was how similar it is to the pool

212
00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:03,200
um

213
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:07,200
you know most of the the stuff is is uh

214
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:10,560
uh very much the same how you uh you

215
00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:12,320
know how you work how you manage your

216
00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:15,279
your tethers how uh how you feel in the

217
00:09:20,550 --> 00:09:17,279
suit how the gloves feel

218
00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:20,560
um you know the difference with this is

219
00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:22,480
you know the fact that you're you know

220
00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:25,040
250 miles above the earth flying around

221
00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:30,000
at 17 500 miles an hour in a in a vacuum

222
00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:33,120
and you know extremes of of temperatures

223
00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:34,560
and

224
00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:35,680
you know the

225
00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:36,880
all the other things that that

226
00:09:40,310 --> 00:09:38,720
environment brings and

227
00:09:42,470 --> 00:09:40,320
you know if you put that part of it out

228
00:09:44,949 --> 00:09:42,480
of your mind it's actually you know

229
00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:44,959
really quite similar to to working in

230
00:09:48,829 --> 00:09:47,200
the pool that pulls a great environment

231
00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:48,839
uh for training

232
00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:51,680
us one thing scott that's different is

233
00:09:56,949 --> 00:09:54,080
we were here in houston watching every

234
00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:56,959
moment and i was worried for you it's uh

235
00:10:02,389 --> 00:09:59,600
it's real after seven hours how

236
00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:02,399
relieved and how tired were you getting

237
00:10:11,509 --> 00:10:10,710
yeah so you know we're pretty tired it's

238
00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:11,519
uh

239
00:10:17,829 --> 00:10:15,519
you know physically it's it's

240
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:17,839
tough in in some ways especially on your

241
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:19,040
hands

242
00:10:22,870 --> 00:10:20,880
um you know it's

243
00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:22,880
i think most of the fatigue comes from

244
00:10:27,350 --> 00:10:24,640
the you know the amount of attention

245
00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:27,360
you're paying to what you're doing and

246
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:28,800
you know trying to have a hundred

247
00:10:32,790 --> 00:10:31,120
percent focus for

248
00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:32,800
you know not only the seven and a half

249
00:10:38,310 --> 00:10:35,440
hours or so we were outside but you know

250
00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:38,320
our day started at uh 6 a.m and we got

251
00:10:42,949 --> 00:10:40,560
right into the uh the activities for

252
00:10:44,710 --> 00:10:42,959
getting into the suit

253
00:10:47,509 --> 00:10:44,720
by the time we got outside i think it

254
00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:47,519
was about you know 12

255
00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:49,839
p.m our time and then you know seven

256
00:10:53,910 --> 00:10:51,360
hours later by the time we were out of

257
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:53,920
the suits it was uh and cleaning up it

258
00:10:59,350 --> 00:10:56,399
was nine o'clock at night of you know

259
00:11:03,350 --> 00:10:59,360
100 focus so i think that part of it is

260
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:05,430
moving on scott um

261
00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:08,160
nasa discovered water on mars and

262
00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:09,279
announced

263
00:11:14,230 --> 00:11:12,000
that not long ago while you're up there

264
00:11:16,630 --> 00:11:14,240
how much did that affect you your one

265
00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:16,640
year mission is also part of the push to

266
00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:18,560
get to mars was it personal was it

267
00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:20,720
special or was it different to receive

268
00:11:29,350 --> 00:11:28,150
well you know i think it's it's exciting

269
00:11:31,829 --> 00:11:29,360
to uh

270
00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:31,839
to find a discovery-like discovery like

271
00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:33,680
that that uh there is liquid water on

272
00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:35,519
mars we knew there was you know frozen

273
00:11:40,310 --> 00:11:38,480
water um you know water is obviously

274
00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:40,320
very important to life and

275
00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:42,480
you know when we go to mars we'll need

276
00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:43,760
water and it'll be great if we don't

277
00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:46,000
have to bring it with us uh you know

278
00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:48,160
weight is very expensive to orbit and if

279
00:11:51,829 --> 00:11:49,200
we can

280
00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:51,839
you know tank up while we're there uh

281
00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:53,040
you know that'll

282
00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:55,120
you know drive the cost down for getting

283
00:11:59,190 --> 00:11:57,200
to mars and maybe hopefully make it a

284
00:12:01,269 --> 00:11:59,200
lot closer you know we follow a lot of

285
00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:01,279
the news up here and the the space news

286
00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:04,639
the you know the flyby of uh of pluto

287
00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:08,160
um water on mars uh you know other

288
00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:11,040
things like that are very exciting to us

289
00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:13,519
especially those that put us closer one

290
00:12:18,629 --> 00:12:15,200
day like you know i hope this mission

291
00:12:20,389 --> 00:12:18,639
does to to sending people to mars

292
00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:20,399
i know you love what you do and it's

293
00:12:24,230 --> 00:12:22,160
amazing um

294
00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:24,240
can you tell me though one day or one

295
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:26,320
moment where you really said god i wish

296
00:12:36,470 --> 00:12:34,069
yeah you know there are those those

297
00:12:38,949 --> 00:12:36,480
moments um you know they're mostly

298
00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:38,959
personal personal in nature that i

299
00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:40,800
probably wouldn't share here but i think

300
00:12:45,509 --> 00:12:43,200
i think we all have them

301
00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:45,519
at times

302
00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:47,839
but for me i do feel like this is a

303
00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:49,360
privilege

304
00:12:52,949 --> 00:12:51,760
you know not only to be here for a whole

305
00:12:54,550 --> 00:12:52,959
year but

306
00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:54,560
you know just to have the have the

307
00:13:00,310 --> 00:12:57,120
chance to fly in space in general and

308
00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:00,320
you know represent my my country uh

309
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:02,000
you know formerly when i was in the navy

310
00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:04,560
represent the navy as a as an astronaut

311
00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:07,040
working at a in a program that's you

312
00:13:12,870 --> 00:13:10,240
know very important uh for us our our

313
00:13:14,389 --> 00:13:12,880
future you know and and an international

314
00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:14,399
program which has really been one of the

315
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:16,240
highlights of this

316
00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:19,600
you know space station partnership

317
00:13:24,949 --> 00:13:21,920
since you left i find myself often

318
00:13:26,949 --> 00:13:24,959
tracking the iss app and kind of looking

319
00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:26,959
for you to make a pass i i feel

320
00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:29,519
connected i look at the space station

321
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:30,800
um

322
00:13:34,870 --> 00:13:32,800
on the flip side do you guys ever up

323
00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:34,880
there kind of feel like you're looking

324
00:13:39,269 --> 00:13:37,040
at earth as your whole life is up there

325
00:13:43,509 --> 00:13:39,279
and we're like the spaceship or does

326
00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:45,990
yeah absolutely you know you definitely

327
00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:48,000
feel like

328
00:13:51,509 --> 00:13:49,839
you know there's a window right here

329
00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:51,519
that looks right down on the on the

330
00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:53,120
earth it's so actually open now it's

331
00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:55,920
dark not sure exactly where we are but

332
00:13:59,509 --> 00:13:57,920
you definitely feel like you're

333
00:14:02,069 --> 00:13:59,519
you know you're here and everyone else

334
00:14:05,030 --> 00:14:02,079
and everything that you care about and

335
00:14:07,110 --> 00:14:05,040
love and you know is important to you is

336
00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:07,120
down there and i think it gives you a

337
00:14:12,069 --> 00:14:08,800
different you know different perspective

338
00:14:15,829 --> 00:14:13,829
you know i find myself like following

339
00:14:18,870 --> 00:14:15,839
the news and things that go on earth

340
00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:18,880
more closely and it actually has a more

341
00:14:22,949 --> 00:14:21,440
of a personal feeling to it i guess you

342
00:14:23,910 --> 00:14:22,959
know i said in the previous interview a

343
00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:23,920
little bit more

344
00:14:26,470 --> 00:14:25,519
empathy i think and

345
00:14:28,069 --> 00:14:26,480
and

346
00:14:30,949 --> 00:14:28,079
you know just because you realize

347
00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:30,959
everything else is is over there and

348
00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:32,160
just gives a little bit different

349
00:14:39,509 --> 00:14:33,839
perspective

350
00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:42,550
um no i wouldn't say you know i wouldn't

351
00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:45,360
say lonely um

352
00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:48,399
you know we have the ability to to

353
00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:51,760
interact um you know electronically to

354
00:14:55,509 --> 00:14:53,360
uh

355
00:14:57,189 --> 00:14:55,519
talk on the phone so

356
00:14:58,470 --> 00:14:57,199
um

357
00:15:00,470 --> 00:14:58,480
you know that

358
00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:00,480
provides an outlet for

359
00:15:04,389 --> 00:15:02,560
for those kind of feelings

360
00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:04,399
you know we get along great as a crew

361
00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:06,240
and uh you know i really appreciate the

362
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:08,800
time i you know get to spend with my

363
00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:10,480
other crew members here but at the same

364
00:15:14,389 --> 00:15:12,480
time you know you do miss you know

365
00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:14,399
people on earth that are important to

366
00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:15,360
you and

367
00:15:18,389 --> 00:15:17,120
you know more of a variety of

368
00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:18,399
interaction but i wouldn't call it

369
00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:23,670
you are obviously doing the one year

370
00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:26,560
mission was misha how is your

371
00:15:31,749 --> 00:15:29,279
relationship with him kind of

372
00:15:36,629 --> 00:15:31,759
unraveling itself as time goes by as the

373
00:15:41,189 --> 00:15:38,230
i wouldn't use the word unraveling i

374
00:15:44,470 --> 00:15:41,199
would use you know more of uh

375
00:15:46,389 --> 00:15:44,480
you know our our bond is is stronger you

376
00:15:48,629 --> 00:15:46,399

377
00:15:50,629 --> 00:15:48,639
this together and uh

378
00:15:53,350 --> 00:15:50,639
you know we call each other brother my

379
00:15:55,749 --> 00:15:53,360
space my one year space brother misha so

380
00:15:57,990 --> 00:15:55,759
he's uh he's doing great and i couldn't

381
00:16:00,550 --> 00:15:58,000
be up here with a with a better

382
00:16:02,230 --> 00:16:00,560
better person to do this with

383
00:16:04,710 --> 00:16:02,240
what's one of the greatest moments

384
00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:04,720
you've had up there something if you can

385
00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:06,639
describe a moment a moment that you just

386
00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:08,560
said wow this is still amazing i love

387
00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:14,949
you know the uh

388
00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:16,480
well certainly you know doing a

389
00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:19,040
spacewalk is the highlight but it's not

390
00:16:23,110 --> 00:16:21,120
or one of the highlights i'll tell you

391
00:16:26,069 --> 00:16:23,120
what the other one is here in a second

392
00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:26,079
but it's it's not like this fun kind of

393
00:16:29,110 --> 00:16:27,920
thing you know that you would you would

394
00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:29,120
think it is

395
00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:30,959
you know it's very uh

396
00:16:37,269 --> 00:16:32,720
challenging you know

397
00:16:39,269 --> 00:16:37,279
mentally somewhat physically it's uh

398
00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:39,279
you know it's hard work and i think it's

399
00:16:43,189 --> 00:16:41,279
that type of that type two kind of fun

400
00:16:44,710 --> 00:16:43,199
that you say oh that you know a few

401
00:16:46,389 --> 00:16:44,720
weeks later or a few months later you

402
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:46,399
said you know that thing that i did

403
00:16:50,550 --> 00:16:48,240
really hard like you know climbing mount

404
00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:50,560
everest that was a lot of fun but you

405
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:51,920
don't think it's kind of fun when you're

406
00:16:56,790 --> 00:16:53,920
doing it it's definitely you know an

407
00:16:57,670 --> 00:16:56,800
experience to remember but uh

408
00:16:59,670 --> 00:16:57,680
um

409
00:17:01,509 --> 00:16:59,680
you know not like what a lot of people

410
00:17:03,829 --> 00:17:01,519
would think it would be like

411
00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:03,839
but the you know the other highlight is

412
00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:05,439
you know just being able to participate

413
00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:07,280
in this and you know do it with a great

414
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:08,160
team

415
00:17:12,069 --> 00:17:10,240
uh not only the folks here but uh not

416
00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:12,079
only my crewmates but all the people on

417
00:17:15,110 --> 00:17:13,520
the ground that make these missions

418
00:17:18,230 --> 00:17:15,120
happen that's that's really the

419
00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:18,240
highlight for me

420
00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:20,880
you've uh been there for 215 days you're

421
00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:22,319
about to break the record for the

422
00:17:26,630 --> 00:17:24,880
longest american uh

423
00:17:28,789 --> 00:17:26,640
continuous flight

424
00:17:31,430 --> 00:17:28,799
how you're holding up and

425
00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:31,440
how does it feel kind of being

426
00:17:38,710 --> 00:17:33,200
so long away

427
00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:41,270
yeah so uh you know

428
00:17:45,350 --> 00:17:43,760
what's earth i kind of forgot what

429
00:17:46,710 --> 00:17:45,360
what it's like to live down there it

430
00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:46,720

431
00:17:50,789 --> 00:17:48,720
um

432
00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:50,799
yeah and i'm being sincere you know

433
00:17:55,430 --> 00:17:53,039

434
00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:55,440
that i'm like wow that seems like so so

435
00:17:59,270 --> 00:17:56,799
long ago

436
00:18:02,789 --> 00:17:59,280
and you know i also look at it like i

437
00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:02,799
have a long uh ways ahead of me too

438
00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:04,880
um you know the other day we figured out

439
00:18:08,789 --> 00:18:06,160
i was like

440
00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:08,799
we actually the the other crew that's up

441
00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:10,880
here with us chell kimmy and oleg we

442
00:18:16,870 --> 00:18:14,400
kind of crossed over at we both had 61

443
00:18:18,390 --> 00:18:16,880
percent left and that was a few days you

444
00:18:20,950 --> 00:18:18,400
know like last week

445
00:18:23,510 --> 00:18:20,960

00:18:25,669 --> 00:18:23,520
uh percentage left than than i do that

447
00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:25,679
