1 00:00:05,910 --> 00:00:02,790 station this is jscpao how do you hear 2 00:00:09,589 --> 00:00:08,470 hey we have you loud and clear 3 00:00:11,509 --> 00:00:09,599 all right we'll go ahead and get it 4 00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:11,519 started off then 5 00:00:16,310 --> 00:00:13,920 uh good morning this is uh mark caro for 6 00:00:18,150 --> 00:00:16,320 aviation week i have a question for 7 00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:18,160 scott and kell 8 00:00:23,509 --> 00:00:21,279 could you give us an example of what you 9 00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:23,519 think the highest and best use of the 10 00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:26,720 space station is to enable future human 11 00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:29,039 deep space exploration thank you very 12 00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:35,590 you know we do a lot of experiments up 13 00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:37,840 here but i think the uh the most 14 00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:40,719 important experiment is the 15 00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:42,559 you know the space station 16 00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:45,680 as a you know an orbiting vehicle that 17 00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:47,920 keeps humans alive in space for long 18 00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:49,760 periods of time we have a very uh 19 00:00:54,549 --> 00:00:52,079 sophisticated life support system here 20 00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:54,559 very sophisticated electrical system 21 00:00:59,510 --> 00:00:57,120 and we you know work with the ground and 22 00:01:02,790 --> 00:00:59,520 their uh you know ability to 23 00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:02,800 to uh you know maintain uh this 24 00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:04,640 environment using a certain level of 25 00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:07,680 discipline and procedures and operations 26 00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:09,200 that is 27 00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:12,960 gonna need to explore 28 00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:14,720 space deeper into space for longer 29 00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:16,240 periods of time so i think that's the 30 00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:18,400 best uh utilization and there's other 31 00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:20,400 benefits many other benefits from the 32 00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:22,799 space station as well but as far as 33 00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:25,600 you know long-term exploration goals 34 00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:27,920 that's the the most important aspect of 35 00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:34,630 and i absolutely agree with uh with 36 00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:37,280 scott i think the the space station 37 00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:40,240 really is a bridge it's a test bed for 38 00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:42,960 the technologies that we need to 39 00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:45,200 develop and understand in order to have 40 00:01:50,149 --> 00:01:48,720 a successful trip to mars 41 00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:50,159 of course this is a this is an 42 00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:51,920 international laboratory it's a place 43 00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:53,200 where we're conducting science and 44 00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:56,000 experiments over the time that kimia 45 00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:58,320 oleg and i are up here we'll see 240 46 00:02:02,709 --> 00:02:00,399 experiments and and i think scott and 47 00:02:05,429 --> 00:02:02,719 misha um during their one year in space 48 00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:05,439 we'll see over 400 experiments and and a 49 00:02:10,150 --> 00:02:07,040 lot of those are critical again to our 50 00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:10,160 understanding of how human physiology 51 00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:11,599 adapts to 52 00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:13,599 this microgravity environment and the 53 00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:16,160 things that we need to do to protect 54 00:02:20,830 --> 00:02:17,520 human health 55 00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:20,840 for a long trip to mars with respect to 56 00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:24,239 muscle bone immune system 57 00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:25,680 health and 58 00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:33,910 i happy anniversary it's clayton sandel 59 00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:36,640 at abc news i was curious on earth a car 60 00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:39,200 that's 15 years old shows its age in 61 00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:41,120 many ways and i'm curious 62 00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:43,360 about maintenance on the station how is 63 00:02:47,589 --> 00:02:45,440 the station holding up are you doing 64 00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:47,599 more maintenance uh in as part of your 65 00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:50,239 day than than you would like 66 00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:51,760 and then second being the crystal 67 00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:53,519 anniversary have you given each other 68 00:03:02,070 --> 00:02:59,270 well 69 00:03:03,910 --> 00:03:02,080 the last time i was here was 70 00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:03,920 about five years ago four or five years 71 00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:06,560 ago and it doesn't seem to me like i'm 72 00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:08,239 doing any more maintenance on the space 73 00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:10,800 station than we did then so and that was 74 00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:12,879 a you know basically a third of the 75 00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:15,040 the lifetime ago for for human 76 00:03:20,309 --> 00:03:18,480 occupation of the the space station um i 77 00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:20,319 thought when i got on board this time 78 00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:22,640 the material condition of the space 79 00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:25,280 station was very good um but you know 80 00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:27,519 obviously as things age you know over 81 00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:29,040 time we're going to have more 82 00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,959 maintenance requirements but you know 83 00:03:34,149 --> 00:03:32,640 the good news is we plan for that we 84 00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:34,159 have a lot of spares on board spare 85 00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:36,159 parts spare parts outside 86 00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:38,000 we have uh you know plans for for 87 00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:40,319 changing those things and you know 88 00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:41,280 keeping 89 00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:43,760 this space station flying a long time 90 00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:45,120 into the future 91 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:47,920 and as far as gifts now we haven't done 92 00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:50,080 that yet 93 00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:52,640 but it is a very important anniversary 94 00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:54,959 for this this incredible facility 95 00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:01,670 hi robert perlman with collectspace.com 96 00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:03,360 a couple days ago i had a chance to talk 97 00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:05,519 to expedition one commander bill shepard 98 00:04:10,949 --> 00:04:08,080 and asked him what he would ask you 99 00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:10,959 and so he suggested 100 00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:12,640 what have we learned from the space 101 00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:15,840 station that will be carried forward 102 00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:17,919 to change the way that we do space 103 00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:19,840 exploration forever more what will be 104 00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:22,639 the lesson or lessons that we've learned 105 00:04:29,909 --> 00:04:24,720 the past 15 years that has changed the 106 00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:31,909 well you know like like i was saying uh 107 00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,320 mark caro i think one of the important 108 00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,479 things about this space station 109 00:04:40,830 --> 00:04:38,479 is it's a 110 00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:40,840 you know a long-term presence in space 111 00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:42,720 that is 112 00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:44,639 you know requires life support systems 113 00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:46,880 electrical systems but we've learned a 114 00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:48,720 lot from this uh 115 00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:50,160 you know this uh 116 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:51,520 space station 117 00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:54,479 that uh is very very important to our 118 00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:55,600 our future 119 00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:57,040 exploration 120 00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:58,720 beyond our 121 00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:01,280 you know our local environment here 122 00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:18,230 station this is houston acr that 123 00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:22,240 concludes the jsc portion of the event 124 00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:24,080 please stand by for a voice check from 125 00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:29,510 station this is ksc pao how do you hear 126 00:05:39,749 --> 00:05:35,430 we have you loud and clear now with uh 127 00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:41,270 hello this is marcia dunn of the 128 00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:43,440 associated press scott for you and 129 00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:45,440 perhaps someone else 130 00:05:50,469 --> 00:05:48,000 what i remember about 15 years ago today 131 00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:50,479 is bill shepard and 132 00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:53,680 krikalov and uh gazenko um 133 00:05:58,390 --> 00:05:56,240 choosing the name alpha as the call sign 134 00:06:00,790 --> 00:05:58,400 and it didn't stick i mean do you wish 135 00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:00,800 it had do you wish there was 136 00:06:05,909 --> 00:06:03,759 a name for this 15 year old human 137 00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:05,919 occupancy up there that could perhaps 138 00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:08,319 get more people to 139 00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:17,830 yeah i could i was around then been 140 00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:20,080 around a long time you know when that 141 00:06:23,590 --> 00:06:21,759 was going on 142 00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:23,600 i kind of thought felt like the the 143 00:06:26,629 --> 00:06:25,120 space station should have a name but 144 00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:26,639 there was never anything we could we 145 00:06:31,189 --> 00:06:28,160 could agree on between all the 146 00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:31,199 international partners as i remember it 147 00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:33,440 now you know it's the space station to 148 00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:35,840 me and i think it's a great name and i 149 00:06:41,029 --> 00:06:38,400 think uh you know the name international 150 00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:41,039 space station really represents uh 151 00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:43,759 what it is so in in some ways maybe it's 152 00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:46,479 a better name than something like 153 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:48,880 i think you know alpha is what uh 154 00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:50,720 what you mentioned and what we've 155 00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:52,319 thought about calling it back then that 156 00:07:02,629 --> 00:07:00,390 uh hi bill harwood cbs news um i just 157 00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:02,639 want to follow up a little bit on on 158 00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:04,880 what you just said uh mark scott a few 159 00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:07,280 minutes ago to mark caro i'm trying to 160 00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:09,280 understand how to view the value of the 161 00:07:12,629 --> 00:07:10,960 station in terms of 162 00:07:14,629 --> 00:07:12,639 you know it was ostensibly built for 163 00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:14,639 science obviously but it's but just 164 00:07:18,710 --> 00:07:16,240 building it was a huge achievement 165 00:07:20,870 --> 00:07:18,720 internationally um how do you assess the 166 00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:20,880 relative ranks of you know the reasons 167 00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:22,720 that went into the station which one is 168 00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:24,800 the is it exploration now that you see 169 00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:26,639 is the most important justification or 170 00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:28,800 is it some combination of all of those 171 00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:31,440 things that that justifies this this 172 00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:39,670 you know for me personally i think it's 173 00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:42,880 it's hard to to say one is is more 174 00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:43,840 important 175 00:07:47,749 --> 00:07:45,520 than the other you know we do a lot of 176 00:07:49,189 --> 00:07:47,759 science um here 177 00:07:50,869 --> 00:07:49,199 while i'm here they're going to be 400 178 00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:50,879 different science experiments so it's 179 00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:53,680 you know it's clearly a a a orbiting 180 00:07:58,150 --> 00:07:55,440 laboratory a world-class orbiting 181 00:08:00,150 --> 00:07:58,160 laboratory at that 182 00:08:02,150 --> 00:08:00,160 you know there's the exploration 183 00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:02,160 uh goals and the things we need to 184 00:08:06,469 --> 00:08:04,319 understand uh 185 00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:06,479 living in low earth orbit that will you 186 00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:08,400 know enhance our capability to to 187 00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:10,160 explore further out into the solar 188 00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:12,000 system and then there's the 189 00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:14,960 international aspect and you know that 190 00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:16,960 is very important that kind of what you 191 00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:19,199 know has really held this partnership 192 00:08:24,309 --> 00:08:21,120 together i think through some very 193 00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:24,319 trying times uh post columbia and you 194 00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:26,720 know with you know budget challenges and 195 00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:28,080 things like that i think the 196 00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:30,319 international partnership is is kind of 197 00:08:34,709 --> 00:08:32,080 the glue that binds this 198 00:08:36,790 --> 00:08:34,719 this program together so i think for me 199 00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:36,800 personally it's just hard to weigh one 200 00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:38,560 over the other i think they're all very 201 00:08:41,829 --> 00:08:40,479 important and it's uh 202 00:08:43,269 --> 00:08:41,839 you know this 203 00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:43,279 i think we're very lucky to have this 204 00:08:46,710 --> 00:08:45,120 space station in this program and to be 205 00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:46,720 able to learn the things we're learning 206 00:08:54,550 --> 00:08:53,430 good morning james dean with florida 207 00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:54,560 today 208 00:08:58,870 --> 00:08:56,640 captain kelly looking ahead 15 years 209 00:09:00,870 --> 00:08:58,880 perhaps do you envision one or more 210 00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:00,880 commercial stations continuing the work 211 00:09:04,870 --> 00:09:03,120 that iss is doing or do you think 212 00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:04,880 sustaining commercial stations the way 213 00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:06,240 you have this one might prove more 214 00:09:18,070 --> 00:09:15,829 you know to build a commercial space 215 00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:18,080 station like this space station you know 216 00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:20,160 and the cost involved will you know 217 00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:21,600 obviously you know it's gonna be really 218 00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:23,040 expensive but 219 00:09:26,949 --> 00:09:25,040 and and um i wouldn't say it's not 220 00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:26,959 possible but uh 221 00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:28,560 you know if someone 222 00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:30,320 wanted to build something like this and 223 00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:33,040 had the money and uh you know had the 224 00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:36,000 the reason behind it i think nasa and 225 00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:37,600 our international partners have proved 226 00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:39,600 that it's very doable and to keep it 227 00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:41,920 flying for long periods of time what i 228 00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:44,240 would envision that's you know probably 229 00:09:49,829 --> 00:09:46,560 the more likely cases is you know a 230 00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:49,839 smaller space station more uh maybe more 231 00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:52,240 focused on uh you know 232 00:09:55,750 --> 00:09:54,720 certain certain you know more focused 233 00:09:56,870

what exactly could you compare it to 330 00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:38,320 what uh 331 00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:39,600 a human 332 00:15:43,829 --> 00:15:42,320 is experiencing when in outer space 333 00:15:45,269 --> 00:15:43,839 because the majority of us will not 334 00:15:46,710 --> 00:15:45,279 experience it 335 00:15:49,749 --> 00:15:46,720 themselves 336 00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:49,759 and what would you say about this suit 337 00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:52,720 and the tools that you used when 338 00:16:02,389 --> 00:16:00,629 this is not the first place to walk 339 00:16:04,870 --> 00:16:02,399 forward this is number two of course 340 00:16:08,389 --> 00:16:04,880 it's not that much that many as compared 341 00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:08,399 to other cosmonauts 342 00:16:12,150 --> 00:16:10,079 and of course i was 343 00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:12,160 a bit calmer the second time i didn't 344 00:16:16,150 --> 00:16:14,560 have that many emotions as during my 345 00:16:18,150 --> 00:16:16,160 first spacewalk 346 00:16:20,629 --> 00:16:18,160 but what i can compare it to i can 347 00:16:23,189 --> 00:16:20,639 probably compare it to a parachute jump 348 00:16:26,230 --> 00:16:23,199 when you are approaching the hatch and 349 00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:26,240 just one step is left to 350 00:16:29,590 --> 00:16:27,680 go down 351 00:16:33,430 --> 00:16:29,600 into the abyss so this is just a 352 00:16:34,790 --> 00:16:33,440 comparison and i'm sorry fred 353 00:16:37,269 --> 00:16:34,800 it does remind me of a parachute 354 00:16:39,990 --> 00:16:37,279 apparatus 355 00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:42,389 you can't really fall down keep falling 356 00:16:47,509 --> 00:16:45,440 down for five or seven 357 00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:47,519 hours that it takes to perform a space 358 00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:49,680 walk so the emotions go into the 359 00:16:56,230 --> 00:16:51,680 background and you are focused on the 360 00:17:00,629 --> 00:16:58,870 now i'm being

what i have in the 424 00:20:08,549 --> 00:20:05,909 let's continue we have one more question 425 00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:08,559 from the chinese television 426 00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:16,710 hello colleagues 427 00:20:20,230 --> 00:20:17,909 could you 428 00:20:21,669 --> 00:20:20,240 send some new year greetings for the 429 00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:21,679 chinese people 430 00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:34,630 did you want to be cosmonauts when kids 431 00:20:38,630 --> 00:20:36,630 or was there something else later in 432 00:20:46,789 --> 00:20:38,640 life that prompted you to follow down 433 00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:49,510 would be happy to greet all the chinese 434 00:20:53,990 --> 00:20:52,240 people with the the new year when time 435 00:20:58,630 --> 00:20:54,000 comes 436 00:21:00,950 --> 00:20:58,640 as for our decision to become cosmonauts 437 00:21:04,870 --> 00:21:00,960 i believe the decision was made a long 438 00:21:07,590 --> 00:21:04,880 long time ago we talked about this 439 00:21:11,590 --> 00:21:07,600 and this was something 440 00:21:15,110 --> 00:21:11,600 like a dream that we that all of us had 441 00:21:17,750 --> 00:21:15,120 when children when kids this topic has 442 00:21:21,270 --> 00:21:17,760 been raised multiple times 443 00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:21,280 i wouldn't say that our path was easy 444 00:21:25,669 --> 00:21:24,400 and fast it took us a long time to 445 00:21:28,230 --> 00:21:25,679 arrive 446 00:21:30,149 --> 00:21:28,240 to to fly for the first time but right 447 00:21:32,470 --> 00:21:30,159 now we're here part of the international 448 00:21:33,510 --> 00:21:32,480 crew and this is probably 449 00:21:37,350 --> 00:21:33,520 the 450 00:21:45,430 --> 00:21:39,909 culminating question again cosmos tv 451 00:21:48,549 --> 00:21:47,830 there is again a piece of information 452 00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:48,559 that 453 00:21:54,070 --> 00:21:50,880 the head of the nasa space agency 454 00:21:57,990 --> 00:21:54,080 charles bolden suggested putting forward 455 00:21:59,110 --> 00:21:58,000 the iss as a project not as a human 456 00:22:01,590 --> 00:21:59,120 entity 457 00:22:02,710 --> 00:22:01,600 for the nobel prize of 458 00:22:04,470 --> 00:22:02,720 peace 459 00:22:06,789 --> 00:22:04,480 do you think uh do you agree with that 460 00:22:12,870 --> 00:22:06,799 do you think this definitely unifies the 461 00:22:15,350 --> 00:22:14,390 this is somewhat of an unexpected 462 00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:15,360 question 463 00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:17,840 i think he's uh right 464 00:22:24,390 --> 00:22:21,840 100 right of course a lot is being said 465 00:22:27,190 --> 00:22:24,400 about the fact that the iss is a perfect 466 00:22:29,590 --> 00:22:27,200 example of international cooperation of 467 00:22:30,870 --> 00:22:29,600 unification of efforts of 468 00:22:32,070 --> 00:22:30,880 different 469 00:22:35,029 --> 00:22:32,080 people 470 00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:35,039 a unity of unification of 471 00:22:37,590 --> 00:22:36,480 technologies 472 00:22:39,909 --> 00:22:37,600 science 473 00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:39,919 and whatnot but the main achievement in 474 00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:41,120 my opinion 475 00:22:46,630 --> 00:22:44,320 is that people on the ground sometimes 476 00:22:50,230 --> 00:22:46,640 fail to hear each other to see each 477 00:22:51,430 --> 00:22:50,240 other here in space this is impossible 478 00:22:53,669 --> 00:22:51,440 everyone 479 00:22:56,470 --> 00:22:53,679 is important here and the success of the 480 00:22:57,669 --> 00:22:56,480 program and sometimes even life depends 481 00:23:00,149 --> 00:22:57,679 on what 482 00:23:02,149 --> 00:23:00,159 each and every one of us does 483 00:23:05,190 --> 00:23:02,159 so this is a perfect example a very 484 00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:05,200 bright example of how cooperation 485 00:23:11,029 --> 00:23:07,600 can be achieved so i think we will 486 00:23:15,750 --> 00:23:13,590 station this is houston acr that 487 00:23:17,350 --> 00:23:15,760 concludes the mission control moscow 488 00:23:19,430 --> 00:23:17,360 portion of the event 489 00:23:29,110 --> 00:23:19,440 please stand by for a voice check from 490
