so just extremely 210 00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:13,120 busy december and uh and we're really 211 00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:15,600 glad to uh glad to be underway 212 00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:17,600 kirk the partnership putting this all 213 00:19:21,110 --> 00:19:20,160 together a landing just days ago now a 214 00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:21,120 launch 215 00:19:25,669 --> 00:19:22,880 the crew heading back to its full 216 00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:25,679 complement of six research abounding how 217 00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:27,600 important has uh the coalition of the 218 00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:28,720 partnership the strength of the 219 00:19:33,510 --> 00:19:31,440 partnership been to keep station uh not 220 00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:33,520 only thriving but pressing ahead in the 221 00:19:36,230 --> 00:19:34,480 future 222 00:19:37,430 --> 00:19:36,240 yeah of course it's been a great year to 223 00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:37,440 illustrate that we've had some 224 00:19:40,870 --> 00:19:38,960 difficulties the russians actually had 225 00:19:42,950 --> 00:19:40,880 some difficulties and we've been able to 226 00:19:44,549 --> 00:19:42,960 pull together and share resources and 227 00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:44,559 still have a robust research program 228 00:19:48,870 --> 00:19:46,320 going on on orbit and then of course we 229 00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:48,880 just launched today with isa astronaut a 230 00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:50,480 us astronaut of course and a russian 231 00:19:54,150 --> 00:19:52,720 cosmonaut and so it really shows the 232 00:19:56,549 --> 00:19:54,160 strength of the partnership and how that 233 00:19:58,710 --> 00:19:56,559 partnership can thrive uh even when 234 00:20:01,110 --> 00:19:58,720 we've had difficulties so uh the station 235 00:20:02,789 --> 00:20:01,120 is as strong as ever and we'll be back 236 00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:02,799 up to a complement of six crew here in a 237 00:20:07,830 --> 00:20:04,720 few hours and and be ready to hit the 238 00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:07,840 ground running coming into the new year 239 00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:09,919 jan werner you're the director general 240 00:20:14,149 --> 00:20:12,400 visa what is your feeling while seeing 241 00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:14,159 this beautiful launch i have two 242 00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:16,240 feelings at the same time one feeling is 243 00:20:21,270 --> 00:20:18,720 international cooperation in space 244 00:20:23,029 --> 00:20:21,280 is really working number one 245 00:20:24,630 --> 00:20:23,039 the second feeling is 246 00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:24,640 you see these 247 00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:26,640 astronauts european astronauts of 248 00:20:31,190 --> 00:20:28,799 whatever nationality in this very 249 00:20:33,510 --> 00:20:31,200 special it's a british nationality 250 00:20:35,830 --> 00:20:33,520 they are close to my heart they are my 251 00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:35,840 children so to say my kids and i'm a 252 00:20:39,110 --> 00:20:37,280 little bit afraid at the beginning of 253 00:20:40,630 --> 00:20:39,120 the launch but now i'm relaxed and i'm 254 00:20:42,870 --> 00:20:40,640 very very happy 255 00:20:45,190 --> 00:20:42,880 so we are talking about a mixture called 256 00:20:47,350 --> 00:20:45,200 principia this is gravity we had the 257 00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:47,360 launch about gravity with either 258 00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:49,440 pathfinder so we're really working in 259 00:20:55,909 --> 00:20:51,360 this interesting and scientific field 260 00:20:59,190 --> 00:20:55,919 yeah principia is the logo also as a of 261 00:21:01,830 --> 00:20:59,200 our dear colleague comrade astronaut tim 262 00:21:03,750 --> 00:21:01,840 peake and principia is looking back to 263 00:21:05,350 --> 00:21:03,760 all the fundamentals of gravity you're 264 00:21:06,789 --> 00:21:05,360 right with lisa pass thunder we are 265 00:21:09,990 --> 00:21:06,799 looking especially to gravitational 266 00:21:12,549 --> 00:21:10,000 waves in the universe and here and this 267 00:21:14,549 --> 00:21:12,559 launch you can see what goes up must 268 00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:14,559 come down so we will have a full mission 269 00:21:18,549 --> 00:21:16,880 also with a landing but timothy peak 270 00:21:20,390 --> 00:21:18,559 will also do fundamental research on 271 00:21:22,549 --> 00:21:20,400 board the iss and therefore we have the 272 00:21:25,110 --> 00:21:22,559 relation between newton 273 00:21:27,110 --> 00:21:25,120 einstein and to today's research 274 00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:27,120 and all this research is done in 275 00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:29,200 international cooperation this is really 276 00:21:33,430 --> 00:21:31,200 important today yeah isaac needs to work 277 00:21:35,110 --> 00:21:33,440 with the others yeah for either for us 278 00:21:37,669 --> 00:21:35,120 international activities are more or 279 00:21:39,830 --> 00:21:37,679 less day-to-day work because we have 22 280 00:21:41,909 --> 00:21:39,840 plus one member state but to work 281 00:21:44,070 --> 00:21:41,919 together also with east and west meaning 282 00:21:46,310 --> 00:21:44,080 with the united states of america and 283 00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:46,320 with russia at the same time even in 284 00:21:51,510 --> 00:21:48,960 times of crisis i think this shows the 285 00:21:54,149 --> 00:21:51,520 real value of space beyond all the 286 00:21:56,789 --> 00:21:54,159 science and exploration subjects so here 287 00:22:14,710 --> 00:21:56,799 international activities can be realized 288 00:22:14,720 --> 00:23:13,270 oh 289 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:24,149 so 290 00:23:24,159 --> 00:23:36,470 is 291 00:23:36,480 --> 00:24:51,909 um 292 00:24:51,919 --> 00:25:02,630 so
