00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:29,190
the name of his special mission is

182
00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:30,560
principia

183
00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:31,920
related to

184
00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:34,560
isaac newton and at the same time to

185
00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:37,200
albert einstein who wrote his theory of

186
00:11:55,670 --> 00:11:39,839
gravitation just one hundred years ago

187
00:12:01,030 --> 00:11:59,430

isaac newton

189
00:12:27,509 --> 00:12:04,000
was a very specialized person and it

190
00:12:36,629 --> 00:12:29,750
we built too many walls and not enough

191
00:12:41,269 --> 00:12:38,629
second one i can calculate the emotion

00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:41,279
of heavenly bodies but not the madness

193
00:12:55,030 --> 00:12:52,550
now one for rocket technology

194

fifth flight to the iss i would like to

296
00:18:59,270 --> 00:18:58,080
ask you what are you expecting to see

297
00:19:00,390 --> 00:18:59,280
new

298
00:19:05,190 --> 00:19:00,400

i would like to say that each flight

301
00:19:14,549 --> 00:19:08,840
it

302
00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:14,559
way and there is always a program

303
00:19:18,470 --> 00:19:16,320
that is different from the previous ones

304
00:19:22,549 --> 00:19:18,480
and the station is changing

305
00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:22,559
inside it's been equipped and outfitted

306
00:19:27,990 --> 00:19:25,440
so all on every time you will see

307
00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:28,000
something you see for the first time

308
00:19:31,190 --> 00:19:29,120
and also

309
00:19:34,950 --> 00:19:31,200
for results of the dynamic operations

310
00:19:40,150 --> 00:19:39,190
two russian vehicles and for

311
00:19:42,549 --> 00:19:40,160
uh

312
00:19:44,390 --> 00:19:42,559
partner vehicles they will be looking

313
00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:44,400
very interesting interesting to work

314
00:19:47,909 --> 00:19:46,640
with all of that so we're hoping to see

315
00:19:50,830 --> 00:19:47,919
all of it

316
00:19:53,510 --> 00:19:50,840
thank you and my second question for

317
00:19:56,549 --> 00:19:53,520
timothy congratulations it's your first

318
00:19:59,029 --> 00:19:56,559
space flight congratulations on it

319
00:20:00,950 --> 00:19:59,039
see my chris

320
00:20:07,750 --> 00:20:00,960
my question is i know that

321
00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:11,029
and isaac newton is the theme of the

322
00:20:16,310 --> 00:20:12,960
mission

323
00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:16,320
is your science program going to allow

324
00:20:22,149 --> 00:20:19,840
you to get so deeply involved in science

325
00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:22,159
as isaac newton did

326
00:20:36,470 --> 00:20:33,990
the the wonderful thing about this uh

327
00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:36,480
mission is that i'm able to actually

328
00:20:53,590 --> 00:20:39,200
conduct some of the experiments that sir

329
00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:55,430
the point of the international space

330
00:21:00,310 --> 00:20:57,360
station is that we do science in

331
00:21:02,390 --> 00:21:00,320
microgravity that's why it's there and

332
00:21:04,230 --> 00:21:02,400
newton of course uh was one of the the

333
00:21:10,710 --> 00:21:04,240
founding fathers in understanding

334
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,710
experiments

335
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,909
come

336
00:21:22,870 --> 00:21:19,590
so i'm delighted we have a very busy

337
00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:22,880
program ahead of us uh over 265

338
00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:25,280
experiments during the six month mission

339
00:21:29,430 --> 00:21:27,600
coming up so it'll be a busy time and i

340
00:21:39,190 --> 00:21:29,440
think now we're just ready to

341
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:46,789
experience

342
00:21:51,270 --> 00:21:49,029
thank you please next

343
00:21:53,830 --> 00:21:51,280
rob navy is from nasa television i have

344
00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:53,840
two questions first for tim copra tim

345
00:21:57,510 --> 00:21:55,360
you and your crewmates

346
00:21:59,190 --> 00:21:57,520
will arrive on station in what arguably

347
00:22:00,950 --> 00:21:59,200
will be one of the busiest periods in

348
00:22:01,909 --> 00:22:00,960
station history

349
00:22:04,149 --> 00:22:01,919
how will

350
00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:04,159
how complex will it be for you guys to

351
00:22:07,669 --> 00:22:06,400
orient yourself right off the bat hit

352
00:22:09,750 --> 00:22:07,679
the ground running

353
00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:09,760
and yet blend in with the home stretch

354
00:22:13,669 --> 00:22:11,520
of the one-year mission visiting vehicle

355
00:22:15,990 --> 00:22:13,679
operations a spacewalk in the offing in

356
00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:16,000
january and all the rest

357
00:22:19,909 --> 00:22:17,679
you know space station has always been

358
00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:19,919
very busy and one thing i can say is

359
00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:21,840
that i've seen the progress of both our

360
00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:23,360
training and the operations onboard

361
00:22:28,149 --> 00:22:25,840
station improve over time and so really

362
00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:28,159
in in our opinion the hardest job is the

363
00:22:31,990 --> 00:22:29,679
the grounds job to coordinate all the

364
00:22:33,590 --> 00:22:32,000
activities but we're going into a great

365
00:22:35,430 --> 00:22:33,600
place because scott kelly has been there

366
00:22:37,430 --> 00:22:35,440
for nine months now he's a very

367
00:22:40,310 --> 00:22:37,440
competent and calm commander and we're

368
00:22:42,789 --> 00:22:40,320
looking forward to working with him

369
00:22:45,029 --> 00:22:42,799
and for tim and tim the inevitable

370
00:22:46,630 --> 00:22:45,039
question how do you guys plan to spend

371
00:22:48,070 --> 00:22:46,640
christmas on board the international

372
00:22:51,909 --> 00:22:48,080
space station and what are your thoughts

373
00:22:53,590 --> 00:22:51,919
on being away from home for the holidays

374
00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:53,600
you know we've been so busy focused on

375
00:22:57,190 --> 00:22:55,679
this mission um that i kind of forgot

376
00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:57,200
christmas is just over a week away

377
00:23:01,590 --> 00:22:59,520
actually um and so of course we'll be

378
00:23:03,669 --> 00:23:01,600
fairly new on board the space station

379
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:03,679
and for myself my first time i'll still

380
00:23:09,270 --> 00:23:07,360
be adapting to zero gravity

381
00:23:11,830 --> 00:23:09,280
but of course we'll be enjoying the

382
00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:11,840
fantastic view of planet earth and our

383
00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:14,080
thoughts will be with everybody on earth

384

enjoying uh christmas and with our

385
00:23:19,190 --> 00:23:17,200
friends and family of course and we'll

00:23:21,110 --> 00:23:19,200
thankfully be able to give them a call

387
00:23:22,630 --> 00:23:21,120
on christmas day

388
00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:22,640
i also heard that the christmas pudding

389
00:23:26,070 --> 00:23:24,880
went up and opened before so some treats

390
00:23:28,789 --> 00:23:26,080
as well

391
00:23:31,270 --> 00:23:28,799
hi dallas campbell bbc tv for stargazing

392
00:23:33,350 --> 00:23:31,280
live a question for tim peake tim for

393
00:23:35,590 --> 00:23:33,360
months now you've been uh

394
00:23:37,190 --> 00:23:35,600
answering thousands and thousands of

395
00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:37,200
questions from people all up and down

396
00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:38,960
the uk from young

397
00:23:42,630 --> 00:23:40,720
young people especially there are young

398
00:23:44,230 --> 00:23:42,640
girls and boys who could probably write

399
00:23:46,549 --> 00:23:44,240
doctoral theses

400
00:23:47,909 --> 00:23:46,559
on uh going to the bathroom

401
00:23:49,669 --> 00:23:47,919
in space

402
00:23:50,950 --> 00:23:49,679
i just want to say when you leave

403
00:23:53,909 --> 00:23:50,960
tomorrow

404
00:23:56,630 --> 00:23:53,919
you will be taking the pride and

405
00:23:59,110 --> 00:23:56,640
excitement of everybody back home so

406
00:24:01,110 --> 00:23:59,120
much so you probably won't need any fuel

407
00:24:03,430 --> 00:24:01,120
to get into orbit i think that'll

408
00:24:04,870 --> 00:24:03,440
probably do it but i just wanted to just

409
00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:04,880
sort of check with you that you will

410
00:24:09,669 --> 00:24:07,840
have time to pause and just reflect on

411
00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:09,679
all that good will that's uh that's

412
00:24:12,950 --> 00:24:11,520
that's that's going there with you and

413
00:24:14,870 --> 00:24:12,960
have a little bit of a bit of time to

414
00:24:16,830 --> 00:24:14,880
relax too

415
00:24:21,190 --> 00:24:16,840
that's

416
00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:21,200
of advice i've been given by many

417
00:24:26,310 --> 00:24:22,880
astronauts and cosmonauts who have flown

418
00:24:28,390 --> 00:24:26,320
before is to make sure you get time to

419
00:24:30,230 --> 00:24:28,400
look out the window not for taking a

420
00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:30,240
photograph but just to enjoy it for your

421
00:24:35,590 --> 00:24:32,640
own benefit and thankfully in a six

422
00:24:37,269 --> 00:24:35,600
month mission 173 days on orbit i hope

423
00:24:45,190 --> 00:24:37,279
to get plenty of opportunities to do

424
00:24:49,110 --> 00:24:47,510
center space the question is to

425
00:24:51,750 --> 00:24:49,120
cosmetics and astronauts who already

426
00:24:53,269 --> 00:24:51,760
have some spaceflight experience

427
00:24:55,830 --> 00:24:53,279
a question

428
00:24:58,710 --> 00:24:55,840
what things that you are used to in your

429
00:25:09,830 --> 00:24:58,720
regular life do you miss in space most

430
00:25:16,070 --> 00:25:12,310
personally i always

431
00:25:20,950 --> 00:25:18,310
emotional communication that people

432
00:25:22,070 --> 00:25:20,960
experience on earth with

433
00:25:26,630 --> 00:25:22,080
your

434
00:25:28,470 --> 00:25:26,640
coworkers you usually work with the

435
00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:28,480
orange

436
00:25:32,230 --> 00:25:30,559
number of people this is something we

437
00:25:34,870 --> 00:25:32,240
lack in space

438
00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:34,880
and it is very noticeable however right

439
00:25:41,269 --> 00:25:38,080
now on board there are six people

440
00:25:43,110 --> 00:25:41,279
on board of the iss it is a

441
00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:43,120
tight-knit community and i'm looking

442
00:25:47,510 --> 00:25:44,880
forward to this flight

443
00:25:49,269 --> 00:25:47,520
miss our friends and our family but

444
00:25:51,350 --> 00:25:49,279
we have a great crew on board and we

445
00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:51,360
have the means to connect with them via

446
00:25:55,110 --> 00:25:53,440
technology so we can call our friends

447
00:25:56,390 --> 00:25:55,120
and family as well as have video

448
00:26:00,390 --> 00:25:56,400
conferences those are probably the

449
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:02,230
channel 1

450
00:26:07,430 --> 00:26:04,640
of a question for all of uh customers

451
00:26:10,070 --> 00:26:07,440
and astronauts of prime crew

452
00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:10,080
the ava program that you're going to

453
00:26:14,710 --> 00:26:11,520
have

454
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:14,720
what are their goals what was your

455
00:26:19,269 --> 00:26:16,960
special training about

456
00:26:22,149 --> 00:26:19,279
and if it's going to be someone's first

457
00:26:23,590 --> 00:26:22,159
cva what can you compare it to

458
00:26:25,510 --> 00:26:23,600
on

459
00:26:27,510 --> 00:26:25,520
the ground here when we experience

460
00:26:30,149 --> 00:26:27,520
something unusual we're saying it's like

461
00:26:31,990 --> 00:26:30,159
outer space what can you compare

462
00:26:32,950 --> 00:26:32,000
your ava with

463
00:26:35,430 --> 00:26:32,960
thank you

464
00:26:37,590 --> 00:26:35,440
so we have uh one u.s spacewalk that's

465
00:26:40,390 --> 00:26:37,600
currently being coordinated the primary

466
00:26:41,909 --> 00:26:40,400
activity for this eva will be to replace

467
00:26:43,669 --> 00:26:41,919
a box that helps

468
00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:43,679
work with the electrical control system

469
00:26:47,909 --> 00:26:46,240
on board and so uh that needs to get

470
00:26:49,590 --> 00:26:47,919
repaired it's on the very end of space

471
00:27:17,830 --> 00:26:49,600
station and so that'll be a very

472
00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:20,630
in the secondary large task is to lay

473
00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:22,960
some cables along the the pressurized

474
00:27:27,909 --> 00:27:25,120
volumes of space station and so i think

475
00:27:32,310 --> 00:27:27,919
we'll have a full day if we end up doing

476
00:27:37,510 --> 00:27:35,190
and the secondary large task is to lay

477
00:27:39,590 --> 00:27:37,520
some cables along the the pressurized

478
00:27:42,470 --> 00:27:39,600
volumes of space station and so i think

479
00:27:49,750 --> 00:27:42,480
we'll have a full day if we end up doing

480
00:27:55,190 --> 00:27:52,789
i have a question uh you probably

481
00:27:57,669 --> 00:27:55,200
know the star wars are going to hit the

482
00:27:59,669 --> 00:27:57,679
screens in a week

483
00:28:02,710 --> 00:27:59,679
teenagers and everyone does looking

484
00:28:04,389 --> 00:28:02,720
forward to watching the movie um guys

485
00:28:05,430 --> 00:28:04,399
like space

486
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:05,440
movies

487
00:28:12,389 --> 00:28:10,240
you planning to take any videos during

488
00:28:26,630 --> 00:28:12,399
your expedition maybe some educational

489
00:28:30,789 --> 00:28:28,870
that is not being studied right now do

490
00:28:32,630 --> 00:28:30,799
you think it needs to be returned into

491
00:28:34,710 --> 00:28:32,640
the high school program question for

492
00:28:37,830 --> 00:28:34,720
yuri i think it should be returned into

493
00:28:42,310 --> 00:28:38,789
i know

494
00:28:46,870 --> 00:28:44,950
are introducing that subject

495
00:28:49,110 --> 00:28:46,880
as part of their own initiative even

496
00:28:52,549 --> 00:28:49,120
though it's not in the mandatory school

497
00:28:54,789 --> 00:28:52,559
program and children are interested in

498
00:29:03,590 --> 00:28:54,799
our solar system before they started to

499
00:29:07,350 --> 00:29:05,029
the russian

500
00:29:10,470 --> 00:29:07,360
expedition program

501
00:29:13,510 --> 00:29:10,480
has a number of experiments and a number

502
00:29:16,389 --> 00:29:13,520
of educational

503
00:29:18,389 --> 00:29:16,399
events that we're going to conduct as

504
00:29:21,269 --> 00:29:18,399
part of

505
00:29:24,950 --> 00:29:21,279
making popular our activities in space

506
00:29:27,510 --> 00:29:24,960
and attracting the young generation and

507
00:29:30,310 --> 00:29:27,520
inspiring their interests to

508
00:29:34,870 --> 00:29:30,320
make sure they're able

509
00:29:37,430 --> 00:29:34,880
to dedicate their life to a number of um

510
00:29:44,870 --> 00:29:37,440
space exploration related professions

511
00:29:49,269 --> 00:29:47,430
in the future thank you good afternoon

512
00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:49,279
alina

513
00:29:55,990 --> 00:29:53,440
winner of the roscosmos competition my

514
00:29:58,070 --> 00:29:56,000
question is for yuri ivanovic as we all

515
00:29:59,350 --> 00:29:58,080
know at present hour senator gays

516
00:30:02,789 --> 00:29:59,360
working

517
00:30:06,789 --> 00:30:04,710
question are you pointing to flying the

518
00:30:13,029 --> 00:30:06,799
space on this

519
00:30:18,630 --> 00:30:15,590
it's hard to plan so far

520
00:30:21,669 --> 00:30:18,640
into the future tomorrow there will be a

521
00:30:23,590 --> 00:30:21,679
launch and six months of intense work

522
00:30:26,149 --> 00:30:23,600
and this is what i'm currently focused

523
00:30:26,950 --> 00:30:26,159
on as to the new vehicle

524
00:30:29,909 --> 00:30:26,960
we

525
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:29,919
are hoping that six months from now and

526
00:30:35,110 --> 00:30:31,840
the most likely

527
00:30:36,870 --> 00:30:35,120
crew who would be launching on that

528
00:30:39,110 --> 00:30:36,880
this would be

529
00:30:41,669 --> 00:30:39,120
uh the crew

530
00:30:43,510 --> 00:30:41,679
who are going to start training within

531
00:30:45,990 --> 00:30:43,520
the next several days in order to be

532
00:30:47,669 --> 00:30:46,000
able to launch on that new vehicle thank

533
00:30:50,789 --> 00:30:47,679
you

534
00:30:52,870 --> 00:30:50,799
palab gosh bbc news

535
00:30:53,669 --> 00:30:52,880
first of all good luck tim

536
00:30:55,510 --> 00:30:53,679
um

537
00:30:58,549 --> 00:30:55,520
what is the thing you most want this

538
00:31:00,470 --> 00:30:58,559
mission to achieve and secondly what is

539
00:31:02,549 --> 00:31:00,480
the thing you're most looking forward to

540
00:31:06,310 --> 00:31:02,559
personally once you're on board the

541
00:31:10,870 --> 00:31:08,310
uh with regards to the first part of the

542
00:31:13,430 --> 00:31:10,880
question um i think it's really an

543
00:31:15,750 --> 00:31:13,440
important step that great britain is now

544
00:31:18,230 --> 00:31:15,760
part of the international space station

545
00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:18,240
program within the european space agency

546
00:31:22,549 --> 00:31:20,320
so i'm delighted that that's occurred

547
00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:22,559
and uh to some extent i i think the

548
00:31:26,710 --> 00:31:24,960
first part has already achieved

549
00:31:28,789 --> 00:31:26,720
in terms of what i hope for this mission

550
00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:28,799
and that's educational outreach i think

551
00:31:32,549 --> 00:31:30,880
it's a wonderful opportunity to inspire

552
00:31:34,389 --> 00:31:32,559
a new generation of scientists and

553
00:31:35,830 --> 00:31:34,399
engineers and

554
00:31:38,149 --> 00:31:35,840
we certainly have i think the most

555
00:31:40,470 --> 00:31:38,159
ambitious educational programme with

556
00:31:42,710 --> 00:31:40,480
this mission of any european space

557
00:31:44,710 --> 00:31:42,720
mission so i'm delighted with that and i

558
00:31:46,310 --> 00:31:44,720
i thoroughly look forward to following

559
00:31:47,350 --> 00:31:46,320
that program throughout the next six

560
00:31:49,029 --> 00:31:47,360
months

561
00:31:50,070 --> 00:31:49,039
and i'll be enjoying that as well some

562
00:31:51,990 --> 00:31:50,080
of the experiments we'll be doing on

563
00:31:54,310 --> 00:31:52,000
board the space station will be

564
00:31:56,470 --> 00:31:54,320
a lot of fun with the kids and the

565
00:31:58,789 --> 00:31:56,480
second part of the question

566
00:32:01,509 --> 00:31:58,799
it really has to be the view of planet

567
00:32:03,750 --> 00:32:01,519
earth and as much as i've spoken to flow

568
00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:03,760
nationals and as much advice as they

569
00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:06,000
have given me i don't think anything can

570
00:32:10,950 --> 00:32:08,240
truly prepare you for that moment and

571
00:32:13,029 --> 00:32:10,960
that will occur in the soyuz spacecraft

572
00:32:15,590 --> 00:32:13,039
once we get injected into orbit and i'll

573
00:32:17,029 --> 00:32:15,600
be able to look out the the right window

574
00:32:21,590 --> 00:32:17,039
and see that wonderful view of planet

575
00:32:24,789 --> 00:32:22,950
tim peake

576
00:32:26,630 --> 00:32:24,799
six years of training will have prepared

577
00:32:29,269 --> 00:32:26,640
you very well technically for this

578
00:32:32,230 --> 00:32:29,279
mission you are a human being though

579
00:32:34,070 --> 00:32:32,240
how will you prepare emotionally for the

580
00:32:39,190 --> 00:32:34,080
ride of your life

581
00:32:43,590 --> 00:32:41,430
that that is a good question and the the

582
00:32:45,350 --> 00:32:43,600
space agencies do a great job in

583
00:32:47,269 --> 00:32:45,360
preparing us both physically and

584
00:32:48,870 --> 00:32:47,279
psychologically a couple of training

585
00:32:50,950 --> 00:32:48,880
events i've taken part in that have

586
00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:50,960
helped have been the european space

587
00:32:55,110 --> 00:32:53,440
agency caves mission seven days living

588
00:32:57,750 --> 00:32:55,120
down a cave with international

589
00:33:00,149 --> 00:32:57,760
astronauts and of course the nasa's nemo

590
00:33:02,389 --> 00:33:00,159
mission as well 12 days underwater and

591
00:33:04,950 --> 00:33:02,399
these missions really are space analogs

592
00:33:06,549 --> 00:33:04,960
and they help us to prepare for space

593
00:33:08,149 --> 00:33:06,559
missions and the psychological elements

594
00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:08,159
of flying into space

595
00:33:13,669 --> 00:33:10,240
but i think more importantly than that

596
00:33:15,110 --> 00:33:13,679
it's the informal casual discussions

597
00:33:17,110 --> 00:33:15,120
with your friends and colleagues who've

598
00:33:19,830 --> 00:33:17,120
flown in space that's what truly

599
00:33:22,549 --> 00:33:19,840
prepares you for what's to come

600
00:33:25,669 --> 00:33:22,559
um dan rivers from itv news you seem

601
00:33:26,710 --> 00:33:25,679
absolutely cool as a cucumber about this

602
00:33:29,750 --> 00:33:26,720
mission

603
00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:29,760
but what words of reassurance do you use

604
00:33:32,870 --> 00:33:31,440
for your family particularly your two

605
00:33:35,190 --> 00:33:32,880
young boys the head of this mission and

606
00:33:38,710 --> 00:33:35,200
the long separation as well that's going

607
00:33:43,029 --> 00:33:40,549
yeah that's another good question and i

608
00:33:45,509 --> 00:33:43,039
think that that process has been ongoing

609
00:33:47,830 --> 00:33:45,519
over two and a half years as well um my

610
00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:47,840
family have been living in houston and

611
00:33:52,230 --> 00:33:50,080
i've made sure that we've spoken about

612
00:33:54,070 --> 00:33:52,240
the training they've been to see me at

613
00:33:55,430 --> 00:33:54,080
johnson space center

614
00:33:57,029 --> 00:33:55,440
through the space station mock-up

615
00:33:58,389 --> 00:33:57,039
facilities they've seen where i'm going

616
00:33:59,669 --> 00:33:58,399
to eat where i'm going to sleep where

617
00:34:02,149 --> 00:33:59,679
i'm going to use the loo which is the

618
00:34:03,830 --> 00:34:02,159
most exciting part for them

619
00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:03,840
and they've also been to watch me go

620
00:34:07,750 --> 00:34:05,760
underwater in the neutral buoyancy

621
00:34:10,069 --> 00:34:07,760
facility and practice for eva

622
00:34:12,950 --> 00:34:10,079
spacewalking so that's all really helped

623
00:34:14,869 --> 00:34:12,960
them to appreciate what is coming up

624
00:34:17,190 --> 00:34:14,879
also i think this process of coming to

625
00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:17,200
view the launch coming to see a part of

626
00:34:21,990 --> 00:34:19,520
our life of what we train for

627
00:34:23,510 --> 00:34:22,000
i think that all helps in to prepare the

628
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:23,520
family and the friends for what's to

629
00:34:28,550 --> 00:34:26,240
come over the next six months

630
00:34:30,950 --> 00:34:28,560
good morning my name is maria from

631
00:34:32,629 --> 00:34:30,960

for timothy pique

633
00:34:37,669 --> 00:34:35,040
and you say that you have to choose

634
00:34:38,470 --> 00:34:37,679
three songs to listen before the lunch

635
00:34:41,270 --> 00:34:38,480

643
00:34:59,990 --> 00:34:57,839
which i thought was very appropriate

00:35:10,069 --> 00:35:08,400
for the other crewmates but i won't tell

649
00:35:11,750 --> 00:35:10,079
you about it just yet

650
00:35:13,510 --> 00:35:11,760
hey there william whiteman russia today

651
00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:13,520
as well um my question is for tim peake

652
00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:15,440
as well first let me say good luck as

653
00:35:20,310 --> 00:35:18,000
well obviously as a fellow brit um

654
00:35:21,670 --> 00:35:20,320
you've um i saw on twitter that you said

655
00:35:23,270 --> 00:35:21,680
that uh even though you're gonna be up

656
00:35:25,510 --> 00:35:23,280
in space you're not gonna miss out on

657
00:35:26,950 --> 00:35:25,520
seeing the new star wars film can you uh

658
00:35:30,390 --> 00:35:26,960
fill us in on how exactly this is gonna

659
00:35:33,750 --> 00:35:32,069
we're very fortunate on board the space

660
00:35:35,510 --> 00:35:33,760
station to have great communication

661
00:35:37,109 --> 00:35:35,520
these days um and we've already

662
00:35:39,109 --> 00:35:37,119
mentioned about the ability to phone

663
00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:39,119
friends and family um from the space

664
00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:40,800
station once a week we get a private

665
00:35:44,790 --> 00:35:42,880
video conference with family as well but

666
00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:44,800
in addition to that our crew support

667
00:35:50,150 --> 00:35:46,880
guys on the ground who do a fantastic

668
00:35:53,109 --> 00:35:50,160
job can also upload the occasional movie

669
00:35:54,710 --> 00:35:53,119
or tv program for us to watch so uh we

670
00:35:56,790 --> 00:35:54,720
will have access to that and on board

671
00:35:58,470 --> 00:35:56,800
the space station earlier this year

672
00:36:01,430 --> 00:35:58,480
scott kelly was the first person to

673
00:36:03,990 --> 00:36:01,440
deploy a projector and a a flat screen

674
00:36:05,349 --> 00:36:04,000
as well um a white projector screen so

675
00:36:08,550 --> 00:36:05,359
we'll be able to watch star wars up on

676
00:36:10,870 --> 00:36:08,560
board the space station at some point

677
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:10,880
hey tim take a question for some big

678
00:36:14,390 --> 00:36:12,480
game from bbc

679
00:36:16,230 --> 00:36:14,400
uh i'm curious how do you plan on

680
00:36:19,750 --> 00:36:16,240
spending your last night for now on

681
00:36:24,069 --> 00:36:21,750
well the last night on earth

682
00:36:26,150 --> 00:36:24,079
is traditionally spent with the family

683
00:36:27,910 --> 00:36:26,160
watching the the russian movie white sun

684
00:36:30,390 --> 00:36:27,920
in the desert so that's what we'll be

685
00:36:32,069 --> 00:36:30,400
doing later on today and then getting a

686
00:36:33,829 --> 00:36:32,079
good night's sleep ready for tomorrow's

687
00:36:35,670 --> 00:36:33,839
launch

688
00:36:37,510 --> 00:36:35,680
hello rory challenge from al jazeera

689
00:36:39,829 --> 00:36:37,520
english news um i've heard that

690
00:36:43,030 --> 00:36:39,839
astronauts and cosmonauts are suspicious

691
00:36:46,230 --> 00:36:44,550
believe in certain rituals and things

692
00:36:47,990 --> 00:36:46,240
like that that they do before the before

693
00:36:50,310 --> 00:36:48,000
the launch can you tell us what you're

694
00:36:51,910 --> 00:36:50,320
going to be doing uh and any little

695
00:36:53,430 --> 00:36:51,920
lucky charms or anything like that that

696
00:37:00,390 --> 00:36:53,440
you've you're going to be taking with

697
00:37:04,230 --> 00:37:02,230
i'm not sure that uh that astronauts and

698
00:37:06,630 --> 00:37:04,240
cosmonauts are any more

699
00:37:08,950 --> 00:37:06,640
superstitious than your average pilot so

700
00:37:10,790 --> 00:37:08,960
maybe we are a little bit superstitious

701
00:37:12,390 --> 00:37:10,800
but one symbol that we have on board

702
00:37:14,550 --> 00:37:12,400
that i think will be very meaningful is

703
00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:14,560
a zero g indicator and the zero g

704
00:37:19,030 --> 00:37:16,160
indicator will be

705
00:37:21,109 --> 00:37:19,040
a commemoration to the 55th anniversary

706
00:37:24,069 --> 00:37:21,119
of your gagarin's launch in april of

707
00:37:26,710 --> 00:37:24,079
1961 so it'll be a little medallion and

708
00:37:33,750 --> 00:37:26,720
a rocket and so once we hit zero gravity

709
00:37:37,990 --> 00:37:36,230
i'd like to add that tim

710
00:37:41,109 --> 00:37:38,000
remembered about the indicator of zero

711
00:37:42,950 --> 00:37:41,119
gravity a very good coincidence we're

712
00:37:46,069 --> 00:37:42,960
going to celebrate

713
00:37:49,030 --> 00:37:46,079
the 55th anniversary of the flight of

714
00:37:52,870 --> 00:37:49,040
the first um

715
00:37:55,829 --> 00:37:52,880
flight of the cosmetics

716
00:37:58,950 --> 00:37:55,839
and it's going to be a valentine's

717
00:38:01,990 --> 00:37:58,960
uh gagarin will be celebrating 80th

718
00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:02,000
anniversary we're going to be

719
00:38:08,230 --> 00:38:05,040
mentally sending our congratulations

720
00:38:11,109 --> 00:38:08,240
uh we're glad that these such very good

721
00:38:12,069 --> 00:38:11,119
events fall into the time frame of our

722
00:38:13,750 --> 00:38:12,079
fight

723
00:38:15,829 --> 00:38:13,760
my name is monica grady i'm from the

724
00:38:17,990 --> 00:38:15,839
open university and i'm also here for

725
00:38:19,990 --> 00:38:18,000
the royal institution christmas lectures

726
00:38:21,990 --> 00:38:20,000
kevin fong is going to be talking about

727
00:38:24,950 --> 00:38:22,000
living and working in space

728
00:38:27,990 --> 00:38:24,960
can you give us a bit of a

729
00:38:28,710 --> 00:38:28,000
clue about how you think you're going to

730
00:38:31,750 --> 00:38:28,720
be

731
00:38:33,829 --> 00:38:31,760
working in terms of the dedication that

732
00:38:37,109 --> 00:38:33,839
you need what have you been through to

733
00:38:39,270 --> 00:38:37,119
get get to this point

734
00:38:43,349 --> 00:38:39,280
what bit did you enjoy most of your

735
00:38:47,190 --> 00:38:45,589
well monica yes it is six years since i

736
00:38:48,710 --> 00:38:47,200
joined the space agency in two and a

737
00:38:51,030 --> 00:38:48,720
half years since i've been assigned to

738
00:38:53,349 --> 00:38:51,040
this flight so there is an awful lot of

739
00:38:55,510 --> 00:38:53,359
training that goes on in preparation for

740
00:38:58,470 --> 00:38:55,520
a six-month mission to the international

741
00:39:00,390 --> 00:38:58,480
space station and uh it's very hard to

742
00:39:02,150 --> 00:39:00,400
sort of narrow it down to just one thing

743
00:39:04,230 --> 00:39:02,160
that you've enjoyed the most but a

744
00:39:06,630 --> 00:39:04,240
couple of the highlights of the training

745
00:39:09,030 --> 00:39:06,640
have been experiencing weightlessness

746
00:39:12,069 --> 00:39:09,040
albeit just for 30 seconds at the time

747
00:39:14,950 --> 00:39:12,079
during the parabolic flights that we do

748
00:39:16,390 --> 00:39:14,960
and also for me eva training um wearing

749
00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:16,400
the pressurized suit and going

750
00:39:20,790 --> 00:39:18,560
underwater doing six hours of of

751
00:39:22,470 --> 00:39:20,800
training for a spacewalk that's been a

752
00:39:24,950 --> 00:39:22,480
real highlight as well

753
00:39:27,190 --> 00:39:24,960
um and of course i think the fact that

754
00:39:28,390 --> 00:39:27,200
uh you know we're here we're ready to go

755
00:39:30,150 --> 00:39:28,400
for the mission

756
00:39:32,870 --> 00:39:30,160
to fly to space tomorrow it's just

757
00:39:35,030 --> 00:39:32,880
thanks to the hundreds of people who

758
00:39:35,750 --> 00:39:35,040
have trained us over the last six years

759
00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:35,760
and

760
00:39:43,670 --> 00:39:39,520
who actually support the station

761
00:39:48,950 --> 00:39:45,829
rob navy is nasa television for tim

762
00:39:50,710 --> 00:39:48,960
cobra speaking of anniversaries

763
00:39:52,550 --> 00:39:50,720
you'll be launching on the 50th

764
00:39:55,990 --> 00:39:52,560
anniversary of the first rendezvous in

765
00:39:58,390 --> 00:39:56,000
space gemini 6 gemini 7 in 1965 flying

766
00:40:00,230 --> 00:39:58,400
within a foot of each other

767
00:40:02,150 --> 00:40:00,240
as you settle up to the international

768
00:40:04,710 --> 00:40:02,160
space station for docking will your

769
00:40:06,790 --> 00:40:04,720
thoughts harken back a bit to how far

770
00:40:08,790 --> 00:40:06,800
we've come in human space flight in a

771
00:40:11,430 --> 00:40:08,800
half century

772
00:40:14,470 --> 00:40:11,440
it's a great uh question rob because i

773
00:40:16,309 --> 00:40:14,480
think uh all of us are really humbled by

774
00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:16,319
the effort that's been put into building

775
00:40:23,430 --> 00:40:21,670
and

776
00:40:25,190 --> 00:40:23,440
to continue on that

777
00:40:26,790 --> 00:40:25,200
i think that the thing that uh that we

778
00:40:29,829 --> 00:40:26,800
can take from that is the fact that it's

779
00:40:31,109 --> 00:40:29,839
really been an evolutionary uh path for

780
00:40:33,510 --> 00:40:31,119
us to be able to build this space

781
00:40:37,829 --> 00:40:35,829
and and then one final word word on that

782
00:40:39,270 --> 00:40:37,839
is the fact that i think all of us

783
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:39,280
really look at those

784
00:40:44,630 --> 00:40:42,240
those predecessors to us as our heroes

785
00:40:47,510 --> 00:40:44,640
just as they are to many people in the

786
00:40:48,950 --> 00:40:47,520
american and international public

787
00:40:50,790 --> 00:40:48,960
um first of all you've been quoted

788
00:40:52,710 --> 00:40:50,800
saying that the most difficult part of

789
00:40:54,390 --> 00:40:52,720
doing any of this was learning russian

790
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:54,400
and i just want to say i have immense

791
00:40:57,670 --> 00:40:56,640
sympathy for you with that i was

792
00:40:59,349 --> 00:40:57,680
wondering if you could say a couple of

793
00:41:01,270 --> 00:40:59,359
words of that secondly a question no

794
00:41:04,950 --> 00:41:01,280
one's asked just how irritating have

795
00:41:07,349 --> 00:41:04,960
references to david bowie been

796
00:41:09,030 --> 00:41:07,359
and thirdly really a crew for a question

797
00:41:10,550 --> 00:41:09,040
for everybody

798
00:41:13,190 --> 00:41:10,560
where do you see the future of manned

799
00:41:15,349 --> 00:41:13,200
space flight going can you see a time in

800
00:41:17,430 --> 00:41:15,359
the foreseeable future when we perhaps

801
00:41:19,829 --> 00:41:17,440
return to the moon or maybe even carry

802
00:41:21,990 --> 00:41:19,839
on to mars

803
00:41:24,390 --> 00:41:22,000
so yes the first part of the question uh

804
00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:24,400
very difficult it's been a struggle but

805
00:41:27,589 --> 00:41:26,160
it's a very different experience

806
00:41:29,990 --> 00:41:27,599
conversational russian versus the

807
00:41:32,069 --> 00:41:30,000
technical russian and for me i find that

808
00:41:33,910 --> 00:41:32,079
once we get in the the spacecraft and we

809
00:41:35,270 --> 00:41:33,920
open up the flight documentation and we

810
00:41:36,069 --> 00:41:35,280
start working through our procedures

811
00:41:38,069 --> 00:41:36,079
then

812
00:41:40,230 --> 00:41:38,079
we work extremely well as a crew

813
00:41:43,109 --> 00:41:40,240
together and everything flows very

814
00:41:45,430 --> 00:41:43,119
smoothly and a lot of thanks to to yuri

815
00:41:46,470 --> 00:41:45,440
for helping out um in that respect as

816
00:41:50,550 --> 00:41:46,480
well

817
00:41:52,550 --> 00:41:50,560
a great job and i think he really opened

818
00:41:54,790 --> 00:41:52,560
up human space flight to many people

819
00:41:57,270 --> 00:41:54,800
around the world who wouldn't otherwise

820
00:41:58,950 --> 00:41:57,280
have looked at it so um i won't be

821
00:42:00,630 --> 00:41:58,960
playing the guitar or singing any songs

822
00:42:02,390 --> 00:42:00,640
but uh we'll certainly be having as much

823
00:42:04,950 --> 00:42:02,400
fun as we can during the mission

824
00:42:07,990 --> 00:42:04,960
and more seriously the the future of

825
00:42:09,589 --> 00:42:08,000
human space flight is very exciting

826
00:42:11,589 --> 00:42:09,599
we're in a phase now with the

827
00:42:14,230 --> 00:42:11,599
international space station where we've

828
00:42:17,030 --> 00:42:14,240
spent 10 years building it we're now

829
00:42:19,430 --> 00:42:17,040
firmly into the operational phase where

830
00:42:21,030 --> 00:42:19,440
we're running science experiments on a

831
00:42:23,430 --> 00:42:21,040
daily basis the number of hours of

832
00:42:25,910 --> 00:42:23,440
science we do each week goes up and up

833
00:42:27,910 --> 00:42:25,920
and we're working of course science for

834
00:42:29,750 --> 00:42:27,920
the future of space exploration but also

835
00:42:32,710 --> 00:42:29,760
science for the benefit of people back

836
00:42:34,550 --> 00:42:32,720
on earth and we have a very firm program

837
00:42:36,710 --> 00:42:34,560
within the european space agency to go

838
00:42:39,190 --> 00:42:36,720
to the moon as a stepping stone to going

839
00:42:41,190 --> 00:42:39,200
to mars and this is not a one-off visit

840
00:42:43,670 --> 00:42:41,200
this is human exploration of the solar

841
00:42:45,990 --> 00:42:43,680
system to to remain there and to do

842
00:42:47,670 --> 00:42:46,000
further scientific research dear ladies

843
00:42:49,670 --> 00:42:47,680
and gentlemen we are ending our

844
00:42:52,390 --> 00:42:49,680
conference so thank you for interesting

845
00:42:54,790 --> 00:42:52,400
questions and uh i think that it's uh

846
00:42:56,870 --> 00:42:54,800
the time to see and to wish good luck to

847
00:42:59,510 --> 00:42:56,880
our crew and

848
00:43:15,430 --> 00:42:59,520
those and please crew backup and prime

849
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:18,390
thank you very much please um
