1
00:00:04,710 --> 00:00:02,710
ktrk tv this is mission control houston

2
00:00:07,190 --> 00:00:04,720
please call station for a voice check

3
00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:07,200
station this is ktrk tv how do you hear

4
00:00:15,509 --> 00:00:13,110
we hear you loud and clear tom how do

5
00:00:17,269 --> 00:00:15,519
you hear us i hear you just great scott

6
00:00:18,790 --> 00:00:17,279
it is really great to talk to you once

7
00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:18,800
again i just have to ask you after all

8
00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:20,640
this time how are you holding up up

9
00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:28,070
yeah we're holding up uh pretty good

10
00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:30,000
both misha and i we're hanging in there

11
00:00:34,389 --> 00:00:32,399
you know a year's a long time and uh

12
00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:34,399
feels like uh at least for me that i've

13
00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:36,320
lived my whole life up here sometimes

14
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:37,600
and uh

15
00:00:40,869 --> 00:00:38,800
but it's not like we're climbing the

16
00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:40,879
walls or anything to uh to get out of

17
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:42,640
here we're still doing uh productive

18
00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:44,399
work and we still have a pretty uh

19
00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:46,960
pretty high energy level so all all's

20
00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:47,840
good

21
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:50,079
this trip has obviously or will be more

22
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:52,399
than double your last one can you tell

23
00:01:03,349 --> 00:01:00,709
you know a lot of the effects on of

24
00:01:04,710 --> 00:01:03,359
microgravity on our physiology are

25
00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:04,720
things we can't see there are the

26
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:07,200
effects on our our bone

27
00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:09,200
mass

28
00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:11,439
you know some muscles i mean i could

29
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:13,439
tell a little bit where you you know due

30
00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,000
to exercise you get more muscles

31
00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:18,560
some places and less somewhere else

32
00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:20,240
specifically in your calves because we

33
00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:21,920
don't walk a lot you know they get

34
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:23,280
pretty small

35
00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:25,520
but uh you know also there's a little

36
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:27,759
bit of effects on on vision but i

37
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:29,840
haven't seen any changes there and then

38
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:31,360
there are the effects on your immune

39
00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:33,200
system and uh

40
00:01:36,789 --> 00:01:35,360
the effects of radiation on our on us at

41
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:36,799
a genetic level which are things we

42
00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:38,720
don't see but hopefully you know we'll

43
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:40,960
learn about those and when the the

44
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:43,520
ground analyzes all the data and writes

45
00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:45,920
uh you know papers on this and does uh

46
00:01:50,069 --> 00:01:47,920
you know the post-flight research we'll

47
00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:50,079
uh we'll come to know a lot more about

48
00:01:54,069 --> 00:01:52,399
being in space for a really long time

49
00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:54,079
you and i talked a lot before you left

50
00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:55,840
about what you'd miss up there so what

51
00:02:01,030 --> 00:01:57,520
do you miss most besides family and

52
00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:04,310
well besides that um going outside the

53
00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:05,119
uh

54
00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:07,119
you know the sun the

55
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:10,720
wind the rain of course um

56
00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:13,760
also the uh you know the freedom to do

57
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:15,599
the things you want to do when you want

58
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:17,760
to want to do them we have a very very

59
00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:19,840
constrained schedule up here that we we

60
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:22,400
follow very closely for much of the week

61
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:23,360
and

62
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:25,680
it'll be nice not to have to do that for

63
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:29,200
uh for a little while once i get home

64
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:31,120
what have you learned in your year about

65
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:40,949
well you know i think uh i i i think

66
00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:43,840
that uh i've learned a little bit more

67
00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:44,800
about

68
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:48,000
um you know how i can deal with being in

69
00:03:03,270 --> 00:02:48,640
a

70
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:03,280
just the

71
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:04,800
the uh

72
00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:07,440
you know the the power of our ability to

73
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:09,680
to dream big and do great things i mean

74
00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:12,000
i am always amazed

75
00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:13,519
at the uh

76
00:03:19,270 --> 00:03:15,760
you know the scope and capacity of the

77
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:19,280
space station we built and uh you know

78
00:03:23,589 --> 00:03:21,120
the more time i'm here the more

79
00:03:25,990 --> 00:03:23,599
impressed i am by it and the more faith

80
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:26,000
i have in our ability

81
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:28,400
if we want to if we decide to do great

82
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:31,040
things that we can achieve them

83
00:03:34,070 --> 00:03:32,400
what's the first thing you'll do when

84
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:34,080
you come back to earth besides hug your

85
00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:35,920
family and friends what what do you want

86
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:43,030
you know uh my daughter samantha asked

87
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:44,560
me that last night

88
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:47,120
that very question and you know the food

89
00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:50,480
uh although you miss like fresh food

90
00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:52,000
um

91
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:52,959
is not

92
00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:55,120
as important as the experience of just

93
00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:57,120
sitting down and relaxing and you know

94
00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:58,879
where your stuff

95
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:00,799
uh your utensils everything doesn't

96
00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:03,040
float away so i miss uh you know the

97
00:04:06,869 --> 00:04:04,879
experience more than what what we

98
00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:06,879
actually get to eat but misha and i

99
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:09,120
whose misha is right next to me here we

100
00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:11,840
actually have a uh a pretty common thing

101
00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:14,319
that we uh we both desire to do and

102
00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:16,720
that's like jump into some water

103
00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:18,400
and you know we don't take a shower up

104
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:20,880
here or a bath and we both crave like

105
00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:23,680
jumping into a pool

106
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:25,199
well i can understand that let me ask

107
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:27,440
you this do you dream differently up

108
00:04:35,990 --> 00:04:34,230
yes

109
00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,000
you know when i was here last time

110
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:38,479
people asked me if i like dreamt if i

111
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:40,960
had space dreams or earth dreams and i

112
00:04:46,150 --> 00:04:42,800
couldn't remember so this time i made a

113
00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:46,160
made a point to uh to write them down

114
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:47,919
and uh what i

115
00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:50,320
learned is in the beginning i dreamt

116
00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:52,639
mostly of earth and then kind of you

117
00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:54,639
know more space streams throughout the

118
00:04:59,030 --> 00:04:56,560
middle and now i'm kind of dreaming more

119
00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:59,040
about the earth again and uh but the

120
00:05:02,070 --> 00:05:00,479
interesting thing is by writing them

121
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:02,080
down a lot especially in the beginning

122
00:05:05,590 --> 00:05:04,080
it kind of taught me how to remember

123
00:05:07,909 --> 00:05:05,600
them and i uh

124
00:05:08,629 --> 00:05:07,919
so you know it's kind of like a skill

125
00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:08,639
that

126
00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:10,479
you can develop i guess

127
00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:12,479
the two of you really have risked it all

128
00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:15,039
i mean not only physically but

129
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:17,360
you know some life experiences all of

130
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:28,790
well um you know for me it's more about

131
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:31,759
doing something that i believe in and

132
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:34,880
important uh you know i believe in

133
00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:36,320
in uh

134
00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:38,160
space flight and why we do this and the

135
00:05:42,469 --> 00:05:40,880
benefits it has to humanity

136
00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:42,479
so it's more about that than doing

137
00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:43,919
something you know exciting and

138
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:46,720
challenging on a personal level so uh

139
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:47,600
yeah i

140
00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:49,440
i do it because i think it's important

141
00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:52,479
for us as a species to con continue to

142
00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:53,280
press

143
00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:54,800
you know the limits of what we're

144
00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:56,880
capable of doing and uh you know i'm

145
00:06:00,710 --> 00:05:59,039
just privileged to be a part of it

146
00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:00,720
now this is really quite an opportunity

147
00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:02,400
with you and your brother mark to study

148
00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:04,319
two guys one in space one on earth same

149
00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:08,319
dna what what do you think they'll find

150
00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:10,560
do you have any questions

151
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:13,680
i don't you know like a lot of the uh

152
00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:15,919
the experiments we do

153
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:17,440
um

154
00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:18,639
you know

155
00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:20,319
experiments in general you generally

156
00:06:25,029 --> 00:06:23,280
take a lot of a lot of uh samples to get

157
00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:25,039
statistically significant data in the

158
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:27,039
case of my brother and i obviously

159
00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:28,400
there's just one

160
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:30,880
you know it's one sample it's uh you

161
00:06:34,629 --> 00:06:32,720
know one experiment

162
00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:34,639
uh one group

163
00:06:40,309 --> 00:06:38,080
you know the two of us so anything any

164
00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:40,319
conclusions we make are gonna have to be

165
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:42,560
you know pretty pretty broad ins in

166
00:06:45,830 --> 00:06:44,800
scope and not very specific but

167
00:06:48,390 --> 00:06:45,840
hopefully

168
00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:48,400
uh by having you know two people that

169
00:06:53,909 --> 00:06:51,039
are genetically almost identical we can

170
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:53,919
learn areas where we need to look deeper

171
00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:56,400
and do more research into what the

172
00:07:01,749 --> 00:07:00,240
effects are on a genetic level um

173
00:07:03,749 --> 00:07:01,759
from long duration space flight we get a

174
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:03,759
lot of radiation up here

175
00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:05,520
uh there's a lot of other you know

176
00:07:09,510 --> 00:07:07,840
potential effects due to the this this

177
00:07:11,589 --> 00:07:09,520
environment that we live in this harsh

178
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:11,599
environment and by looking at two people

179
00:07:16,390 --> 00:07:14,319
that are very very close together in in

180
00:07:18,550 --> 00:07:16,400
a lot of ways there's a there's a lot of

181
00:07:20,870 --> 00:07:18,560
things we can learn about that we need

182
00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:20,880
to then go and investigate further well

183
00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:22,080
i actually do have a question for you

184
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:23,440
and mikhail scott and that is given what

185
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:24,800
the two of you have been through did the

186
00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:27,280
two of you ever want to go on a trip to

187
00:07:43,350 --> 00:07:40,950
yeah i would actually uh i would

188
00:07:46,230 --> 00:07:43,360
actually do that but it would you know

189
00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:46,240
clearly depend on the timing and uh

190
00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:48,240
you know exactly what the mission was

191
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:49,840
what kind of hardware

192
00:07:53,830 --> 00:07:51,440
we're flying uh

193
00:07:56,629 --> 00:07:53,840
you know i'm certainly not the uh

194
00:07:57,589 --> 00:07:56,639
a proponent of a one-way one-way trip to

195
00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:57,599
mars

196
00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:00,240
i'll leave that to some more adventurous

197
00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:02,080
adventurous people

198
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:04,319
but uh yeah i would i would i would go

199
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:07,120
if the timing was right okay well uh

200
00:08:18,309 --> 00:08:08,800
it's been great talking to you we will

201
00:08:22,390 --> 00:08:19,909
if you think about the time that we have

202
00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:22,400
spent on station now we just got to get

203
00:08:25,430 --> 00:08:24,240
back home from mars

204
00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:25,440
to the ground

205
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:28,639
i'm just kidding that's a joke

206
00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:29,520
if you

207
00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:31,039
think about it seriously i agree with

208
00:08:37,990 --> 00:08:37,110
yeah it would make sense to take a break

209
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:38,000
and then

210
00:08:41,829 --> 00:08:40,000
if there was such an opportunity yes i

211
00:08:43,990 --> 00:08:41,839
would want to go

212
00:08:45,670 --> 00:08:44,000
together

213
00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:45,680
and how much are the two of you

214
00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:48,240
exercising to maintain the bone mass and

215
00:08:59,110 --> 00:08:56,310
yeah you know it varies individually um

216
00:09:02,070 --> 00:08:59,120
but uh generally about 30 minutes a day

217
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:02,080
of aerobic exercise and about an hour a

218
00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:03,920
day of uh

219
00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:07,120
um on the resistive exercise machine and

220
00:09:10,630 --> 00:09:08,959
that's about six days a week but

221
00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:10,640
everyone has a little bit different uh

222
00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:12,080
routine

223
00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:14,320
scott mchale thank you to so much scott

224
00:09:20,550 --> 00:09:15,920
we miss you down here we'll miss you at

225
00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:21,990
yeah i wish i was going to be there with

226
00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:23,120
you guys

227
00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:30,870
station this is houston acr that

228
00:09:35,269 --> 00:09:33,279
concludes the ktrk tv portion of the

229
00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:35,279
event please stand by for a voice check

230
00:09:39,269 --> 00:09:37,440
from time magazine

231
00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:39,279
it moves more slowly in space than it

232
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:41,120
does on earth

233
00:09:45,990 --> 00:09:44,160
our conversation is a part of our

234
00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:46,000
long-term coverage

235
00:09:50,070 --> 00:09:48,000
later this month we'll release two more

236
00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:50,080
episodes we'll show you what it's like

237
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:53,760
for scott and mikhail to return to earth

238
00:10:00,230 --> 00:09:56,640
station this is time magazine how do you

239
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:08,310
we hear you loud and clear jeff

240
00:10:12,790 --> 00:10:10,949
so scott what's the count how many days

241
00:10:17,269 --> 00:10:12,800
have you been up there how many days are

242
00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:19,590
you know for a long time i was counting

243
00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:21,760
up so i could have told you how many

244
00:10:28,389 --> 00:10:24,640
days we've been here it's definitely uh

245
00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:28,399
over 300 um but i can't tell you exactly

246
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:31,040
i can tell you there are 26 days left

247
00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:32,640
but that's mostly because my friend

248
00:10:43,269 --> 00:10:34,480
misha here keeps reminding me how many

249
00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:45,190
are you guys counting down the days

250
00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:46,959
until you return is this the kind of

251
00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:49,120
thing that you mark a hash mark off on

252
00:10:58,150 --> 00:10:55,350
yeah i take a peek at it every once in a

253
00:10:59,910 --> 00:10:58,160
while i uh i'm not counting days i'm

254
00:11:02,230 --> 00:10:59,920
counting percentages and we have like

255
00:11:04,069 --> 00:11:02,240
eight percent left but uh

256
00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:04,079
i got some good advice when i first got

257
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:05,920
up here and it was count up don't count

258
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:08,160
down and i did that for a long time but

259
00:11:12,310 --> 00:11:10,320
uh i think about probably you know once

260
00:11:15,430 --> 00:11:12,320
we got into february

261
00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:15,440
um i i definitely look at the schedule

262
00:11:18,389 --> 00:11:17,120
and and one of the reasons i look at the

263
00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:18,399
schedule is you could kind of have to

264
00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:20,959
think about hey what am i doing doing in

265
00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:22,800
a month what does my schedule look like

266
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:24,800
in a month so

267
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:26,880
um you know previously

268
00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:28,560
you know the month look ahead schedule i

269
00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:29,920
was here now i'm going to be on earth

270
00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:31,040
and i have to think about those things

271
00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:32,320
so something that's kind of hard to

272
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:42,069
well are you ready to come home how do

273
00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:44,480
you pack up after leaving uh after

274
00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:46,160
spending a year in space i know you're

275
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:47,680
not traveling with all that much but

276
00:11:55,670 --> 00:11:53,750
yeah we can bring a little bit of stuff

277
00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:55,680
home on the soyuz and

278
00:11:59,190 --> 00:11:57,760
you know about a kilogram and a half

279
00:12:00,949 --> 00:11:59,200
worth of stuff

280
00:12:02,389 --> 00:12:00,959
and then we can bring

281
00:12:05,670 --> 00:12:02,399
the stuff that would probably be

282
00:12:06,550 --> 00:12:05,680
equivalent to a a carry-on bag

283
00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:06,560
and

284
00:12:12,550 --> 00:12:09,680
i have a lot more stuff up here

285
00:12:14,629 --> 00:12:12,560
mostly you know nasa provided equipment

286
00:12:15,829 --> 00:12:14,639
and actually a lot of clothing that i

287
00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:15,839
didn't use

288
00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:18,240
and that stuff will all get thrown away

289
00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:20,160
so the way you pack is

290
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:22,000
you throw most of your stuff away and

291
00:12:26,629 --> 00:12:24,000
then you pack up a little bit that will

292
00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:26,639
go with you on the soyuz and then some

293
00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:27,760
that will go

294
00:12:40,389 --> 00:12:38,870
scott when you close the hatch it may be

295
00:12:42,389 --> 00:12:40,399
for the last time you've been on the

296
00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:42,399
station once before you've now put

297
00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:44,000
together about a year and a half in

298
00:12:48,389 --> 00:12:46,240
space what does that feel like are you

299
00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:48,399
ending a chapter do you look forward to

300
00:12:58,389 --> 00:12:56,629
you know i think um

301
00:13:01,110 --> 00:12:58,399
a lot of people that have had the

302
00:13:02,550 --> 00:13:01,120
privilege to fly in space maybe never

303
00:13:04,790 --> 00:13:02,560
even give up

304
00:13:06,629 --> 00:13:04,800
give it up after they

305
00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:06,639
you know after they feel like it's their

306
00:13:09,829 --> 00:13:09,040
maybe their last flight and uh i think

307
00:13:13,030 --> 00:13:09,839
my

308
00:13:15,030 --> 00:13:13,040
and i think he still holds out the

309
00:13:17,110 --> 00:13:15,040
possibility that maybe he would actually

310
00:13:17,829 --> 00:13:17,120
be able to fly in space again someday

311
00:13:21,990 --> 00:13:17,839
and

312
00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:22,000
vehicle

313
00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:23,920
um and i think a lot of astronauts do

314
00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:24,880
that so

315
00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:27,120
if this uh does wind up being my last

316
00:13:31,190 --> 00:13:28,560
flight i

317
00:13:34,310 --> 00:13:31,200
i don't necessarily know that when i

318
00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:34,320
close the hatch i will you know with 100

319
00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:35,360
certainty

320
00:13:51,269 --> 00:13:46,310
a year in space or a year on earth

321
00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:51,279
there's still 360 days or thereabouts

322
00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:53,920
but does it move more slowly in space

323
00:14:02,629 --> 00:13:56,079
does the experience of the passage of

324
00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:05,829
yeah i think uh it does at times i feel

325
00:14:10,470 --> 00:14:07,680
like i've lived my whole life up here

326
00:14:14,069 --> 00:14:10,480
and i've forgotten what it uh what it

327
00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:14,079
feels like to be on earth so

328
00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:16,560
you know every day although our schedule

329
00:14:20,310 --> 00:14:18,720
is somewhat varied you know the scenery

330
00:14:23,350 --> 00:14:20,320
doesn't change

331
00:14:24,790 --> 00:14:23,360
um the environmental conditions don't

332
00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:24,800
change much

333
00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:26,800
the schedule you know when you get up

334
00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:29,279
when you go to sleep doesn't change much

335
00:14:32,949 --> 00:14:31,440
the company changes pretty infrequently

336
00:14:34,870 --> 00:14:32,959
i mean even though these are great guys

337
00:14:36,790 --> 00:14:34,880
i mean they'll be friends for life

338
00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:36,800
uh you know they're

339
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:38,160
you know for the most part even though

340
00:14:43,269 --> 00:14:40,240
we've had people come and go you know

341
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:43,279
you see the same people every day so it

342
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:44,560
does uh

343
00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:47,120
time does seem to drag on

344
00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:49,360
a little bit slowly the days actually go

345
00:14:54,069 --> 00:14:51,440
by very quickly

346
00:15:01,910 --> 00:14:54,079
but the uh the weeks and the months go

347
00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:03,269
misha

348
00:15:06,870 --> 00:15:05,040
you're going to have a lot to miss about

349
00:15:09,110 --> 00:15:06,880
this space experience when you come home

350
00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:09,120
it all seems like a grand adventure but

351
00:15:11,509 --> 00:15:10,720
what will you miss the most will it be

352
00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:11,519
the

353
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:34,310
is

354
00:15:38,829 --> 00:15:36,790
it's hard to think of just one thing

355
00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:38,839
yeah i do like

356
00:15:43,350 --> 00:15:41,279
microgravity unfortunately you have to

357
00:15:45,030 --> 00:15:43,360
pay for the consequences of that when

358
00:15:48,949 --> 00:15:45,040
you return on earth

359
00:15:51,110 --> 00:15:48,959
but i think i'll miss the crew the most

360
00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:51,120
mr work

361
00:15:53,749 --> 00:15:52,240
on the orbit

362
00:15:55,990 --> 00:15:53,759
working with the crew again that's

363
00:16:03,670 --> 00:15:56,000
important we have a really great team

364
00:16:07,590 --> 00:16:06,230
and here's a question from both guys

365
00:16:08,389 --> 00:16:07,600
what is the

366
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:08,399
thing

367
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:10,480
that's been the most exciting experience

368
00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:12,399
you've had aboard the station this time

369
00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:14,160
and what was the most boring thing you

370
00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:25,829
seriously

371
00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:28,230
you know i always say that

372
00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:30,480
and i'll give you a specific here but i

373
00:16:34,550 --> 00:16:32,720
i do always say that what i like about

374
00:16:35,749 --> 00:16:34,560
this is the the challenge of something

375
00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:35,759
doing very

376
00:16:41,030 --> 00:16:38,399
something doing something very difficult

377
00:16:43,269 --> 00:16:41,040
working hard at it and being successful

378
00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:43,279
um hopefully um

379
00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:46,480
and and i really enjoy that

380
00:16:51,269 --> 00:16:48,560
and it's kind of the little little

381
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:51,279
things uh some not so little like

382
00:16:57,910 --> 00:16:53,920
yesterday we fixed the carbon dioxide

383
00:16:59,350 --> 00:16:57,920
removal system in one day which uh

384
00:17:02,150 --> 00:16:59,360
you know we felt like we needed to get

385
00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:02,160
it up and running again and

386
00:17:06,309 --> 00:17:04,240
doing that in one day was some very

387
00:17:08,470 --> 00:17:06,319
challenging and rewarding work and i

388
00:17:10,390 --> 00:17:08,480
really enjoyed doing that type of stuff

389
00:17:13,429 --> 00:17:10,400
but i had never done a spacewalk before

390
00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:13,439
so if i had to i had to pick one thing i

391
00:17:19,189 --> 00:17:16,000
would say you know going outside for the

392
00:17:22,549 --> 00:17:19,199
first second and third time would be for

393
00:17:25,029 --> 00:17:22,559

394
00:17:28,309 --> 00:17:25,039
and the uh

395
00:17:30,390 --> 00:17:28,319

398
00:17:35,909 --> 00:17:33,440
myself

399
00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:35,919

that's for the boring days

417

418
00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:44,320
after we do a lot of intense work

419
00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:46,640

00:18:50,470 --> 00:18:47,679
days
