control 4 00:00:15,509 --> 00:00:13,759 houston please call station for a voice 5 00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:15,519 check 6 00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:17,440 station this is popular science how do 7 00:00:24,790 --> 00:00:22,630 hey we have you uh loud and clear 8 00:00:27,029 --> 00:00:24,800 welcome aboard the space station 9 00:00:28,390 --> 00:00:27,039 little echo 10 00:00:30,550 --> 00:00:28,400 thank you we're delighted to be here 11 00:00:32,229 --> 00:00:30,560 with you this morning 12 00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:32,239 you received your first holiday delivery 13 00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:33,920 this morning when the cygnus spacecraft 14 00:00:38,069 --> 00:00:35,920 arrived scott i understand you and chell 15 00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:38,079 use the robotic arm to grapple with it 16 00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:45,430 yeah i was uh helping him out but he did 17 00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:47,680 most of the hard work 18 00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:50,079 if you can if you have a mic that's live 19 00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:52,079 if you can turn it off when you're not 20 00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:53,120 um 21 00:00:58,869 --> 00:00:55,440 talking that would help us with the echo 22 00:01:00,549 --> 00:00:58,879 but uh yeah he did a great job and um 23 00:01:01,670 --> 00:01:00,559 you know it's great to see a new vehicle 24 00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:01,680 up here 25 00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:04,080 um you know we've had some 26 00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:06,159 you know some difficulties so you know 27 00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:07,360 getting uh 28 00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:10,320 cygnus safely on board has been uh you 29 00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:11,360 know 30 00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:12,400 great 31 00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:17,429 scott cygnus is carrying a microsoft 32 00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:19,600 hololens how will you use augmented 33 00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:27,030 you know i actually got the uh 34 00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:31,040 opportunity to try that um out before 35 00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:32,880 i launched and uh 36 00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:34,960 you know it seems like there are certain 37 00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:37,200 capabilities that would be good for us 38 00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:39,520 on board uh the space station one would 39 00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:40,400 be 40 00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:41,920 you know right now we look at the 41 00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:44,640 computer or the an ipad to look at 42 00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:46,640 procedures and if you could have 43 00:01:49,749 --> 00:01:48,479 you know a procedure right in your field 44 00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:49,759 of view 45 00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:51,600 something that was commandable with your 46 00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:53,360 voice you know where you could scroll 47 00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:55,040 through the different steps you know 48 00:01:58,550 --> 00:01:56,640 that would be helpful it also has this 49 00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:58,560 capability where 50 00:02:01,749 --> 00:02:00,719 somebody on the ground perhaps can be 51 00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:01,759 looking at 52 00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:05,680 able to write 53 00:02:09,669 --> 00:02:07,920 in your field of view so let's say 54 00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:09,679 you're we're working on a piece of 55 00:02:12,949 --> 00:02:11,599 hardware and we're not that familiar 56 00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:12,959 with it but we have an expert on the 57 00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:15,360 ground you know that person could uh you 58 00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:17,200 know basically see what we're seeing and 59 00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:21,440 make annotations point to things 60 00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:23,680 you know and kind of lead us through a 61 00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:25,520 particular activity 62 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:27,760 um you know that's the other one of the 63 00:02:32,229 --> 00:02:30,160 one of the many capabilities of that 64 00:02:36,309 --> 00:02:32,239 that that or similar hardware that we're 65 00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,390 popular science has many makers and 66 00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:40,480 inventors among its readers 67 00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:42,959 do you have the greatest iss hack or a 68 00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:44,480 moment where you had to fix something in 69 00:03:09,030 --> 00:02:46,560 a pinch 70 00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:11,430 this is happening all the time we are 71 00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:13,440 constantly maintaining this station we 72 00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:16,000 are fixing something something breaks 73 00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:19,360 down and we have to 74 00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:21,840 fix it so this is a very complicated 75 00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:24,720 laboratory and we always are there to 76 00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:26,720 fix it of course every time we have to 77 00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:29,200 be creative sometimes to 78 00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:30,400 um 79 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:31,840 fix something but thank you very much 80 00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:33,760 for a good question it happens on a 81 00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:39,030 scott you're the subject of 12 different 82 00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:40,720 research projects for the twin study 83 00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:42,560 with your brother mark what kind of 84 00:03:51,589 --> 00:03:44,640 sampling do you do on the space station 85 00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:53,750 yeah so there's a lot of experiments a 86 00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:56,400 lot of samples just today i was 87 00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:58,879 because we have a soyuz leaving in less 88 00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:00,959 than 48 hours now with 89 00:04:03,190 --> 00:04:02,319 you know three of the crew members on 90 00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:03,200 board 91 00:04:09,270 --> 00:04:06,400 um i was doing some uh urine samples and 92 00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:09,280 saliva samples for various uh 93 00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:11,519 activities and experiments uh tomorrow 94 00:04:18,469 --> 00:04:15,519 we have uh some blood draws that'll go 95 00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:18,479 go home on the soyuz not be frozen like 96 00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:21,199 they normally are 97 00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:23,680 so there's those kind of you know bodily 98 00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:25,759 fluid samples we also collect other 99 00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:27,600 kinds of data with different imaging 100 00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:29,680 technology we have on board you know for 101 00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:31,600 instance we have an ultrasound here that 102 00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:32,960 uh 103 00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:36,320 is another way that we collect data um 104 00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:38,080 and there's other experiments that are 105 00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:38,960 more 106 00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:40,479 you know related to our cognitive 107 00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:42,639 ability so that they're they're 108 00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:45,040 computer-based uh 109 00:04:50,230 --> 00:04:48,400 you know tests of of how our you know 110 00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:50,240 cognitive 111 00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:56,550 mikhail your year in space is an 112 00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:58,560 important step towards long-term space 113 00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:01,440 exploration and eventually mars why do 114 00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:03,039 you think it's important for humans to 115 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:22,390 expeditionary 116 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:32,710 cosmos 117 00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:34,790 a great russian scientist 118 00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:37,360 who said that the earth is the cradle of 119 00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:40,320 our humanity but we cannot live in this 120 00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:43,280 cradle for our entire life we have to 121 00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:47,840 develop further we have to explore more 122 00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:50,080 of course we have to colonize mars 123 00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:52,960 because we are expanding as humanity 124 00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:55,520 it's a normal natural process 125 00:06:00,309 --> 00:05:58,080 and what we're doing here with scott 126 00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:00,319 here on board the iss are the first 127 00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:02,800 steps of our future exploration of the 128 00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:05,440 solar systems of the exploration of mars 129 00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:11,990 scott this is the second week of global 130 00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:13,840 climate talks in paris 131 00:06:18,469 --> 00:06:16,800 looking at the earth from 249 miles up 132 00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:18,479 you have the best view of global climate 133 00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:19,680 change of all 134 00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:22,319 what would you like negotiators to keep 135 00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:24,160 inspective or know about earth from your 136 00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:31,350 you know 137 00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:33,360 being up here gives us a little bit of a 138 00:06:37,749 --> 00:06:35,919 different perspective on on our planet 139 00:06:40,390 --> 00:06:37,759 you know we could see how 140 00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:40,400 uh fragile the uh and thin the 141 00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:42,400 atmosphere is it actually looks more 142 00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:43,600 like uh 143 00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:45,520 you know a thin film over the surface 144 00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:47,680 than it does this uh 145 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:49,440 you know this massive thing that you 146 00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:50,720 when you're standing on the ground and 147 00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:52,960 you look up the sky just looks enormous 148 00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:55,120 but up here it doesn't it looks uh you 149 00:06:58,710 --> 00:06:57,360 know very thin and fragile and something 150 00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:58,720 that 151 00:07:01,670 --> 00:06:59,680 you know we 152 00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:01,680 we need to protect because it's the only 153 00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:03,919 thing that's really protecting us from 154 00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:05,520 space which is 155 00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:07,440 you know not some not a place that we 156 00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:08,240 can 157 00:07:15,830 --> 00:07:13,430 you know you also see pollution in 158 00:07:18,309 --> 00:07:15,840 certain areas of the world certain parts 159 00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:18,319 of asia especially that are uh you know 160 00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:21,120 it's almost constant 161 00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:22,400 and 162 00:07:25,189 --> 00:07:23,440 you know since i've been up here 163 00:07:26,950 --> 00:07:25,199 sometimes we see 164 00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:26,960 you know weather patterns and weather 165 00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:30,560 systems in places they're unexpected so 166 00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:34,000 you know as far as the the people 167 00:07:38,469 --> 00:07:35,599 you know that are meeting in paris and 168 00:07:41,749 --> 00:07:38,479 negotiating uh 169 00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:41,759 these agreements um you know i would 170 00:07:45,430 --> 00:07:43,520 just hope that they 171 00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:45,440 they recognize and i 172 00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:47,440 think they probably do that this is 173 00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:49,759 something that's uh you know critical to 174 00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:51,280 our survival and it's something that we 175 00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:52,800 need to fix 176 00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:00,390 mikhail i have a question from a popular 177 00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:02,960 science reader are you growing any more 178

stunning pictures on social media now 215 00:11:10,790 --> 00:11:08,480 iss expedition 45 commander scott kelly 216 00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:10,800 and flight engineer mikhail kornienko 217 00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:13,040 join me live from space to talk about 218 00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:20,069 hey good morning and welcome aboard the 219 00:11:27,910 --> 00:11:25,350 thank you and of course a very busy day 220 00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:27,920 for you with the arrival of cygnus what 221 00:11:33,269 --> 00:11:30,720 did it look like from your perspective 222 00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:33,279 and is this like an early holiday gift 223 00:11:40,949 --> 00:11:39,350 yeah it's a you know incredibly 224 00:11:42,790 --> 00:11:40,959 beautiful vehicle 225 00:11:47,269 --> 00:11:42,800 we haven't had one here 226 00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:49,990 you know since we had last had a cygnus 227 00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:53,600 and uh it went launched flawlessly 228 00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:54,959 although we had some weather issues 229 00:12:00,629 --> 00:11:58,160 initially and the rendezvous and grapple 230 00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:00,639 were were flawless and 231 00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:02,720 yeah we got some christmas presents 232 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:04,720 inside but we won't be getting into 233 00:12:13,030 --> 00:12:11,030 right all right mikhail there is a lot 234 00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:13,040 of research that is conducted aboard the 235 00:12:17,829 --> 00:12:15,040 international space station what's been 236 00:12:30,949 --> 00:12:17,839 a highlight so far 237 00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:33,190 i'm afraid i cannot give you the 238 00:12:38,310 --> 00:12:35,360 highlights briefly because we are 239 00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:38,320 conducting multiple experiments both on 240 00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:40,560 the russian segment and on the us 241 00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:43,040 segment i can say that 242 00:12:48,550 --> 00:12:46,240 our mission our current flight 243 00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:48,560 is the next step uh 244 00:12:52,389 --> 00:12:49,279 for 245 00:12:53,509 --> 00:12:52,399 all of us to keep exploring 246 00:13:00,790 --> 00:12:53,519 space 247 00:13:03,590 --> 00:13:00,800 conditions what it will take for us to 248 00:13:06,949 --> 00:13:03,600 keep exploring the deep space 249 00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:06,959 we in total conduct over 60 experiments 250 00:13:11,269 --> 00:13:09,680 but in total talking about my science 251 00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:11,279 program we 252 00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:14,000 i conduct over 200 experiments so this 253 00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:19,829 incredible work scott you were up there 254 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:21,519 for a year you've done a lot of 255 00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,240 groundbreaking work day in and day out 256 00:13:32,150 --> 00:13:26,720 but tell me about a space walk it looks 257 00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:34,470 yeah it's an incredible amount of work 258 00:13:38,949 --> 00:13:36,800 um not just while you're outside but 259 00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:38,959 leading up to it it takes uh about a 260 00:13:41,829 --> 00:13:40,079 month 261 00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:41,839 of preparation 262 00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:44,399 uh studying you know preparing the suits 263 00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:45,760 all the hardware 264 00:13:49,430 --> 00:13:47,600 uh and then when you're outside it's 265 00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:49,440 it's uh it's a lot of hard work too 266 00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:51,040 you're actually in the suit we were in 267 00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:53,920 those suits for almost 12 hours 268 00:13:59,670 --> 00:13:56,320 uh even though our our time outside was 269 00:14:02,310 --> 00:13:59,680 almost eight hours um on on both of them 270 00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:02,320 and uh the view is uh better than i 271 00:14:07,189 --> 00:14:04,880 expected um looking 272 00:14:09,189 --> 00:14:07,199 you know at earth through just the visor 273 00:14:10,870 --> 00:14:09,199 of the helmet um 274 00:14:12,949 --> 00:14:10,880 but it's you know it's kind of that type 275 00:14:14,310 --> 00:14:12,959 two kind of fun where it's not really 276 00:14:16,310 --> 00:14:14,320 fun while you're doing it but it's 277 00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:16,320 really fun when you're done and very 278 00:14:20,230 --> 00:14:18,560 very rewarding experience very 279 00:14:24,710 --> 00:14:20,240 complicated work and takes a lot of 280 00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:26,470 scott you are a living science 281 00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:28,720 experiment in fact part of that research 282 00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:30,480 that's being conducted is the genetic 283 00:14:34,389 --> 00:14:32,480 study with your twin brother mark how 284 00:14:39,590 --> 00:14:34,399 are they collecting the data and what do 285 00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:40,870 well there's a lot of different 286 00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:43,360 experiments and the data collection 287 00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:46,320 consists of uh you know bodily samples 288 00:14:50,949 --> 00:14:48,560 we have a soyuz going home here in a in 289 00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:50,959 the next couple of days that'll have you 290 00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:53,600 know blood and urine and 291 00:14:56,710 --> 00:14:54,720 saliva 292 00:14:59,750 --> 00:14:56,720 uh samples on it 293 00:15:00,949 --> 00:14:59,760 um we take those samples often and and 294 00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:00,959 freeze them 295 00:15:05,189 --> 00:15:02,160 uh 296 00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:05,199 we have imaging technology that we use 297 00:15:09,590 --> 00:15:07,600 for measuring you know certain parts of 298 00:15:11,670 --> 00:15:09,600 like bones and muscles and things like 299 00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:11,680 that most of the studies with my brother 300 00:15:16,150 --> 00:15:13,680 are on the genetic 301 00:15:19,110 --> 00:15:16,160 you know genetically based so really the 302 00:15:22,069 --> 00:15:19,120 uh the bodily fluid samples are are 303 00:15:24,150 --> 00:15:22,079 what's uh analyzed mostly but also we do 304 00:15:26,389 --> 00:15:24,160 cognitive studies where we do uh you 305 00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:26,399 know mental kind of tests 306 00:15:32,069 --> 00:15:28,959 and see how my uh performance changes 307 00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:32,079 compared to his overtime and uh you know 308 00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:33,920 there's a lot to learn still about 309 00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:35,680 living in space for long periods of time 310 00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:36,959 and if we're ever going to go to mars 311 00:15:39,829 --> 00:15:38,079 someday 312 00:15:40,550 --> 00:15:39,839 you know hopefully a study like this 313 00:15:44,629 --> 00:15:40,560 will 314 00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:46,629 scott and mikhail there are many 315 00:15:52,310 --> 00:15:49,199 challenges while living up there the 316 00:16:15,590 --> 00:15:52,320 lack of various sounds smell but what's 317 00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:17,030 you know you know the environment i 318 00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:19,120 think is uh you know although the space 319 00:16:24,949 --> 00:16:22,480 station is big and it's uh you know it's 320 00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:24,959 you know pretty nice and comfortable in 321 00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:26,320 a lot of ways 322 00:16:28,870 --> 00:16:27,120 uh 323 00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:28,880 the thing that's most challenging is you 324 00:16:34,389 --> 00:16:31,440 just can't leave and 325 00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:34,399 you know and there's no 326 00:16:38,310 --> 00:16:36,480 natural light inside i mean we have a 327 00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:38,320 few windows but that doesn't provide 328 00:16:43,189 --> 00:16:40,560 natural light so it's kind of like you 329 00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:43,199 know we're at work all the time and uh 330 00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:44,880 it's kind of like living in uh you know 331 00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:46,959 an office building i guess maybe at 332 00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:48,880 someone at your job but where everything 333 00:16:58,949 --> 00:16:51,040 floats which makes you know doing just 334 00:17:04,710 --> 00:17:02,310 i will agree with scott here 335 00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:04,720 our station is very comfortable for a 336 00:17:09,189 --> 00:17:06,640 living but at the same time it's a very 337 00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:09,199 confined volume and sometimes it's 338 00:17:13,110 --> 00:17:11,760 really hard to be here we of course miss 339 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:13,120 the earth we 340 00:17:18,949 --> 00:17:15,280 meet we miss our 341 00:17:24,230 --> 00:17:21,829 the first thing i will do is that when i 342 00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:24,240 come back is i will jump in 343 00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:26,720 the pool i would love to do that right 344 00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:30,640 now of course we miss water we 345 00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:33,760 miss water that flows and not floats as 346 00:17:39,270 --> 00:17:35,440 bubbles in space so this is the most 347 00:17:42,950 --> 00:17:40,710 scott i saw a picture of the 348 00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:42,960 thanksgiving celebration with your food 349 00:17:46,150 --> 00:17:44,559 strapped down the tweet from your 350 00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:46,160 brother that said that they were missing 351 00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:48,000 you how are you going to celebrate the 352 00:17:56,150 --> 00:17:51,200 holiday season up in space any stockings 353 00:17:58,470 --> 00:17:57,190 you know we 354 00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:58,480 last time i was up here we had a 355 00:18:01,830 --> 00:17:59,760 christmas tree and i think it's still 356 00:18:04,310 --> 00:18:01,840 here so i need to go break that out 357 00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:04,320 break it out of the attic like 358 00:18:08,390 --> 00:18:06,960 we do at home sometimes i haven't found 359 00:18:09,990 --> 00:18:08,400 it yet but i'll 360 00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:10,000 i'll find it and 361 00:18:14,549 --> 00:18:12,960 i don't think we have any any stockings 362 00:18:16,390 --> 00:18:14,559 but we will have some you know small 363 00:18:18,549 --> 00:18:16,400 presents we'll likely 364 00:18:21,029 --> 00:18:18,559 give each other and probably a meal that 365 00:18:23,029 --> 00:18:21,039 would be very similar to what we had for 366 00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:23,039 thanksgiving and we also celebrate 367 00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:24,720 russian christmas which is on january 368 00:18:26,870 --> 00:18:25,760 7th so 369 00:18:28,549 --> 00:18:26,880 you know because this is an 370 00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:28,559 international space station we get to 371 00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:34,789 that's wonderful i i saw a picture last 372 00:18:39,669 --> 00:18:37,120 year of them they were velcroed onto the 373 00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:39,679 wall so whatever it takes and to both of 374 00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:42,960 you happy holidays and wonderful work 375 00:18:48,310 --> 00:18:44,960 it's been truly a pleasure to watch from 376 00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:50,230 thank you and
