1 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:46,950 one second please 2 00:00:46,960 --> 00:01:08,550 okay 3 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:33,109 thank you 4 00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:51,910 first the prime crew 5 00:01:51,920 --> 00:02:13,270 even dancing 6 00:02:13,280 --> 00:03:10,630 is 7 00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:22,869 give it a quick 8 00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:44,710 so 9 00:03:44,720 --> 00:04:00,630 shut up 10 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:14,070 next 11 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:54,150 so far 12 00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:56,150 you know we spent uh over two years 13 00:05:00,310 --> 00:04:58,560 getting ready for this mission and uh 14 00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:00,320 it's both a sense of excitement and 15 00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:02,320 relief when you finish all of the exams 16 00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:04,720 and the commission here in russia it's a 17 00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:06,320 it's a very high bar for training they 18 00:05:10,629 --> 00:05:08,400 expect a lot of the cosmonauts and the 19 00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:10,639 astronauts for us to go to space so 20 00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:12,639 we're just really excited and today has 21 00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:15,280 really been a day of ceremony and uh 22 00:05:17,909 -->

also i think it's very special that 26 00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:23,680 we have such a positive international 27 00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:25,680 cooperation with all of our partners and 28 00:05:28,710 -->

been a little bit over six years since 32 00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:34,639 you've been to the space station so some 33 00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:36,000 things have changed 34 00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:37,440 you have a window now a big window the 35 00:05:42,469 --> 00:05:40,080 cupola wasn't there last time what are 36 00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:42,479 some things you're excited to do again 37 00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:43,919 and what are some things you're looking 38 00:05:48,469 --> 00:05:45,840 forward to doing for the first time 39 00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:48,479 absolutely you know i am very excited 40 00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:49,440 about being able to look through the 41 00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:52,240 cupola all of uh my colleagues who have 42 00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:54,560 been there on board with the cupola just 43 00:05:58,230 --> 00:05:56,400 talk about what an amazing view you have 44 00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:58,240 of our planet so i'm very excited about 45 00:06:01,430 --> 00:05:59,919 that and uh 46 00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:01,440 one of the things that that i want to be 47 00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:03,199 able to repeat which is 48 00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:04,960 really just a standard portion of our 49 00:06:08,469 --> 00:06:06,639 job there is being able to share the 50 00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:08,479 experience with our friends and family 51 00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:10,240 back home we have an internet protocol 52 00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:12,080 telephone and 53 00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:13,840 on occasion we have video conferences 54 00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:16,080 with family so it's a really great way 55 00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:19,360 for us to share our experience 56 00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:21,120 tim peake this is going to be your first 57 00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:22,880 trip to the international space station 58 00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:24,800 you've just finished all these uh hard 59 00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:26,080 years of training they kind of 60 00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:27,840 culminated today what are your feelings 61 00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:29,280 as you're about to leave for baikonur in 62 00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:30,240 a week 63 00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:32,080 i'm really excited you know it's the 64 00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:33,840 culmination of two and a half years of 65 00:06:38,230 --> 00:06:35,919 assigned crew training everything for me 66 00:06:40,390 --> 00:06:38,240 has been a new experience 67 00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:40,400 and so going down to biker baikonur now 68 00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:42,560 as prime crew it's just a wonderful part 69 00:06:46,870 --> 00:06:45,039 of this incredible journey into space 70 00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:46,880 and any experiments that you're excited 71 00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:48,800 about working on on your first trip to 72 00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:50,160 space 73 00:06:54,150 --> 00:06:52,319 sure i mean there's you know over 250 74 00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:54,160 experiments there's loads to choose from 75 00:06:58,950 --> 00:06:56,639 some of the interesting ones um i love 76 00:07:00,390 --> 00:06:58,960 the electromagnetic levitator you know 77 00:07:02,309 --> 00:07:00,400 it's a great experiment and what it's 78 00:07:03,830 --> 00:07:02,319 capable of and and coming from a 79 00:07:05,909 --> 00:07:03,840 background of engineering and test 80 00:07:07,670 --> 00:07:05,919 piloting i think that some of the the 81 00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:07,680 metal alloys that we're researching on 82 00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:10,000 that experiment are very exciting um 83 00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:12,000 protein crystals in the japanese 84 00:07:15,830 --> 00:07:14,000 laboratory again a very exciting 85 00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:15,840 experiment i think has got huge 86 00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:18,160 potential for medical benefits for 87 00:07:21,749 --> 00:07:20,240 people back here on earth and the human 88 00:07:23,029 --> 00:07:21,759 physiology experiments obviously i'm 89 00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:23,039 particularly interested in because 90 00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:25,280 they're being done on my own body 91 00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:27,520 and some of those the research into the
