1
00:00:05,590 --> 00:00:02,790
and now we're going

2
00:00:07,269 --> 00:00:05,600
right up 400 kilometers uh into space to

3
00:00:09,190 --> 00:00:07,279
meet with tim peake good evening thank

4
00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:09,200
you for being with us for almost two

5
00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:10,480
months now you've been at the

6
00:00:14,709 --> 00:00:12,320
international space station first

7
00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:14,719
question do you spend a lot of time

8
00:00:25,109 --> 00:00:17,039
looking out the window looking at the

9
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:26,790
international

10
00:00:31,349 --> 00:00:28,640
yes the answer to your question is of

11
00:00:33,190 --> 00:00:31,359
course we spend almost every free moment

12
00:00:35,510 --> 00:00:33,200
that we have looking out the window and

13
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:35,520
taking photographs we're kept very busy

14
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:36,880
during the day of course but in the

15
00:00:42,069 --> 00:00:39,120
evenings we get some free time and the

16
00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:42,079
view of planet earth is just spectacular

17
00:00:56,229 --> 00:00:44,960
day night auroras thunderstorms it's

18
00:00:59,990 --> 00:00:57,110
what

19
00:01:02,709 --> 00:01:00,000
has amazed you the most struck you the

20
00:01:07,429 --> 00:01:02,719
most in this show you see from of the

21
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:09,190
there are a couple of things that have

22
00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:12,880
really struck me first is just how thin

23
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:15,759
our atmosphere is and i kind of knew

24
00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:17,600
that from seeing photographs of other

25
00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:19,520
astronauts but to actually see it

26
00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:22,240
yourself and especially at sunrise and

27
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:23,600
at sunset

28
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:25,280
and of course we orbit the earth 16

29
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:27,520
times a day so we get plenty of sunrises

30
00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:30,000
and sunsets and you can see that tiny

31
00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:32,560
tiny band of which our atmosphere is

32
00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:34,560
contained in and how fragile our

33
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:36,079
atmosphere is

34
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:37,840
that was really quite incredible to see

35
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:50,710
talk briefly about your daily life i

36
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:52,720
think you've put aside for us one of

37
00:02:01,270 --> 00:01:55,600
your meals one of the meals you'll be uh

38
00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:03,030
yes well actually just i just got a

39
00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:05,119
drink to show you but this is an example

40
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:07,840
of how we eat and drink our food it's

41
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:09,920
all contained in pouches of course to

42
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:12,080
stop it from floating away

43
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:14,160
and we simply drink our food through

44
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:16,800
straws and also we can have soup for

45
00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:18,640
example through that as well

46
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:21,280
everything else comes up in cans of food

47
00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:23,680
or we rehydrate it just add hot water

48
00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:26,480
and eat it out of packets but our daily

49
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:28,800
routine is really working from about

50
00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:31,040
seven in the morning till seven at night

51
00:02:44,869 --> 00:02:33,200
and it's mainly scientific activities

52
00:02:50,150 --> 00:02:47,750
you sleep in a sleeping bag we saw this

53
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:50,160
but you're not strapped in anyhow

54
00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:53,040
tethered is it easy to sleep floating

55
00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:00,070
it takes a little bit of getting used to

56
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:02,720
at first it felt quite strange and it's

57
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:04,800
hard to switch off at the end of the day

58
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,560
and kind of tell your body to go to

59
00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:08,640
sleep because you don't rest your head

60
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:10,800
on a pillow and lie in a bed you're kind

61
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:12,480
of floating all day long and then at

62
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:14,080
night time you're still floating but you

63
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:16,480
have to tell your body to go to sleep

64
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:18,560
but it only takes a couple of weeks and

65
00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:20,400
then you end up sleeping quite well up

66
00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:31,430
tim

67
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:33,599
have you already done a space walk have

68
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:41,190
yes i was very fortunate to do a space

69
00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:43,840
walk about uh three weeks ago with my

70
00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:46,640
crewmate tim copra from nasa and we had

71
00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:49,040
to go and repair an electrical component

72
00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:50,720
right at the very edge of the space

73
00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:52,720
station the furthest part of the space

74
00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:54,480
station and that was absolutely

75
00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:57,040
incredible we had to repair it during

76
00:04:01,350 --> 00:03:59,200
the eclipse because the power from the

77
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:01,360
uh from the sun obviously coming through

78
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:03,040
the solar panels we had to make sure we

79
00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,560
were in the shadow before we could

80
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:06,319
repair that component

81
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:08,080
and we got an opportunity to wait for

82
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:09,840
the sun to go down and to take some

83
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:11,840
photographs and enjoy the view of planet

84
00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:14,400
earth the most incredible experience of

85
00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:16,560
my life being outside the space station

86
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:30,390
was it scary

87
00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:32,960
was it just scary to be out in that void

88
00:04:41,830 --> 00:04:39,670
you know before i went on the space walk

89
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:41,840
i was i was probably more apprehensive

90
00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:44,160
because i did not know what to expect

91
00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:46,000
but as soon as the hatch opened and i

92
00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:47,759
saw the sunlight flooding into the

93
00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:50,560
airlock i was just very happy very happy

94
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:52,639
to get outside the space station very

95
00:04:57,749 --> 00:04:55,360
comfortable outside and and it also it

96
00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:57,759
felt quite peaceful it felt quite calm

97
00:05:09,670 --> 00:04:59,840
working out there it was really a great

98
00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:11,350
tim lastly

99
00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:13,039
would you have a message

100
00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:16,800
that you'd like to give us to us

101
00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:20,000
7 billion earthlings watching you so far

102
00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:27,029
do you know i've been trying to share

103
00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:29,280
this mission as much as much as possible

104
00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:30,880
with everybody back on earth i think

105
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:32,800
it's our responsibility as astronauts to

106
00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:35,520
do that i just wish that i could bring

107
00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:38,160
everybody up on board here to look at

108
00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:40,320
planet earth and to see it through our

109
00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:41,280
eyes

110
00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:43,759
and really it's just the most beautiful

111
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:44,639
place

112
00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:46,880
i can imagine and it really brings it

113
00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:49,199
home how we need to look after each

114
00:06:01,830 --> 00:05:50,880
