00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:35,590
you know i'm i'm ready to come home i'm

9
00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:37,520
not it's not like i'm climbing the walls

10
00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:39,040
or anything to get out of here you know

11
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:41,280
i recognize the importance of what we're

12
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:43,440
we're doing on the space station and you

13
00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:45,760
know i feel like it's a privilege but at

14
00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:47,280
the same time i've been up here for a

15
00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:48,879
really long time it'll be great to get

16
00:00:56,869 --> 00:00:54,470
long duration flight this was all about

17
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:56,879
seeing whether humans can go to mars

18
00:01:00,310 --> 00:00:58,399
i know we don't have all the data but

19
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:00,320
can we make it to mars can you do it

20
00:01:09,429 --> 00:01:08,070
you know there are some challenges but

21
00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:09,439
you know i think everything we've done

22
00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:11,439
in space proves that we can overcome

23
00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:13,840
challenges

24
00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:15,759
part of the reason being up here for for

25
00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:18,000
a year was looking at the effects on our

26
00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:20,159
physiology and like you said

27
00:01:25,109 --> 00:01:23,040
there is still data to be be analyzed

28
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:25,119
but from a you know subjective

29
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:28,159
perspective i think absolutely i feel uh

30
00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:29,680
i feel great

31
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:30,799
um

32
00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:32,400
but you know there are challenges

33
00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:34,240
especially with radiation between

34
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:35,920
between the earth and mars that we need

35
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:38,320
to uh work on overcoming but it's

36
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:40,000
something that i hope to see in in my

37
00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:44,950
you may have just answered this question

38
00:01:49,030 --> 00:01:46,880
but we talked in houston before you left

39
00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:49,040
about the radiation about what long

40
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:50,960
duration flight can do to your body i

41
00:01:58,630 --> 00:01:53,520
think i asked you it can mess you up did

42
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:00,789
you know there's some things that i i

43
00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:03,360
notice and uh of the things i noticed

44
00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:04,719
they're you know

45
00:02:07,749 --> 00:02:06,320
mostly uh

46
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:07,759
you know all

47
00:02:09,749 --> 00:02:08,399
good

48
00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:09,759
you know but

49
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:11,200
there are the things you can't see like

50
00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:13,840
bone loss uh and then any effects of

51
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:17,120
radiation on you at a a genetic level

52
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,560
and that's something

53
00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:20,720
you know we might not know about for for

54
00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:22,560
years to come how

55
00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:24,080
long term that

56
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:26,000
amount of radiation has

57
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:28,480
has affected me but uh

58
00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:30,640
you know subjectively i i feel great and

59
00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:32,560
i think it's something that uh

60
00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:34,400
going to mars and uh you know having

61
00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:37,040
people spans stay in space for much much

62
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:39,120
longer than we have before is clearly

63
00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:44,309
we talked with you and your brother in

64
00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:47,120
the twin study in houston uh tracking

65
00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:49,040
his body and your body during your time

66
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:51,440
in space at the time i said i thought

67
00:02:59,589 --> 00:02:53,200
that mark had the easy part you said you

68
00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:01,830
this is hard you know space is hard

69
00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:04,959
living up here is is it's a uh

70
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,959
you know it's a tough environment uh

71
00:03:10,869 --> 00:03:08,640
you're at work all the time you never

72
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:10,879
leave you can never go outside

73
00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:13,680
although the work is important and uh

74
00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:14,879
challenging

75
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:16,319
it is uh

76
00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:18,720
you know very similar you know day after

77
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:21,200
day for a really long time but i

78
00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:22,959
wouldn't uh trade places with him for

79
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:25,040
anything i've uh thoroughly enjoyed it

80
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:26,560
it's uh

81
00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:28,720
you know been a great challenge and it's

82
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,640
the thing the thing i like about flying

83
00:03:34,149 --> 00:03:32,640
in space is that this stuff is hard and

84
00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:34,159
it's the

85
00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:36,080
sense of satisfaction you get from from

86
00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:37,040
being

87
00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:43,910
lightning round when you get home

88
00:03:54,309 --> 00:03:51,270
i think

89
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:54,319
grass would be my my first

90
00:04:01,429 --> 00:03:57,200
choice but i'll be in kazakhstan so you

91
00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:03,830
or dust you took a lot of pictures some

92
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:06,319
amazing photographs what place on earth

93
00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:07,920
have you seen from space that you've not

94
00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:10,480
been to do you want to get to and visit

95
00:04:19,270 --> 00:04:16,870
yeah there's a lot of beautiful places

96
00:04:20,469 --> 00:04:19,280
and it's really hard to to to pick one

97
00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:20,479
out but

98
00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:22,479
you know the area on the other side of

99
00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:25,120
the himalayas from uh you know india and

100
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:28,720
and pakistan in the uh you know on the

101
00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:31,600
the north eastern side is

102
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:34,479
incredibly uh remote looking

103
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:37,360
and desolate but at the same time uh

104
00:04:41,909 --> 00:04:39,520
beautiful so i think if i had to choose

105
00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:41,919
one place i would go up in the in the

106
00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:43,440
foothills there

107
00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:44,400
on the

108
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,430
pizza or filet mignon

109
00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:57,749
you know that's an interesting question

110
00:05:01,590 --> 00:05:00,000
obviously filet mignon or not obviously

111
00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:01,600
but that's what i would choose but you

112
00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:03,759
don't really miss food that much at

113
00:05:08,950 --> 00:05:06,880
least i miss the experience more of you

114
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:08,960
know sitting at a table with friends and

115
00:05:12,710 --> 00:05:11,120
family than i do actually

116
00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:12,720
you know all the different types of food

117
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:18,710
and finally you told me you were going

118
00:05:22,629 --> 00:05:20,080
to hit a wall you knew you would hit a

119
00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:22,639
wall did you hit that wall how did you

120
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:25,199
get through it and how did you feel

121
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:26,720
about getting through it what got you

122
00:05:34,629 --> 00:05:32,070
yeah i was fortunate that i had been up

123
00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:34,639
here before for 159 days and i think i

124
00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:36,800
knew myself pretty well and what it

125
00:05:41,990 --> 00:05:39,840
would take me um with regards to like

126
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:42,000
having a good pace and uh you know

127
00:05:46,070 --> 00:05:44,320
support from people on the ground that i

128
00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:46,080
really haven't hit a wall yet i wanted

129
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:47,840
to get the end of this with uh you know

130
00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:50,160
as much uh energy enthusiasm that i

131
00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:52,240
hadn't at the beginning and that's kind

132
00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:54,400
of how i still feel so if i don't hit

133
00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:56,000
the wall in the next

134
00:06:02,230 --> 00:05:58,639
seven six seven days i think i'm i'm

135
00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:04,230
station this is houston acr that

136
00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:06,800
concludes the abc portion of the event

137
00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:08,319

commander kelly thanks so much for doing

143
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:51,189
my pleasure

144
00:06:58,550 --> 00:06:53,749
we'll get started in just a few seconds

145
00:07:04,150 --> 00:07:00,309
hey ready on pump

146
00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:06,309
astronaut scott kelly holds the record

147
00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:08,080
for the longest consecutive amount of

148
00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:09,919
time spent in space by an american he'll

149
00:07:13,430 --> 00:07:12,000
be returning to earth next week it is an

150
00:07:15,909 --> 00:07:13,440
honor to welcome back commander scott

151
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:15,919
kelly to cbsn commander let me first ask

152
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:17,280
you what are you most excited to do when

153
00:07:25,350 --> 00:07:23,909
the first thing is just being around the

154
00:07:27,589 --> 00:07:25,360
people that you miss and that are

155
00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:27,599
important to you and and spending time

156
00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:29,440
with them

157
00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:31,440
you know after that and i think i might

158
00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:32,960
jump in uh

159
00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:40,870
so but i've read in interviews that

160
00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:42,720
you're not really climbing the walls to

161
00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:44,560
leave space so what will you miss most

162
00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:51,430
you know i'm a big believer in what

163
00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:53,440
we're doing here

164
00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:56,240
i believe in the importance of flying in

165
00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:00,479
space and you know the research we do uh

166
00:08:06,629 --> 00:08:03,520
i believe in exploration and i will miss

167
00:08:09,670 --> 00:08:06,639
being on the front lines of that

168
00:08:11,029 --> 00:08:09,680
that endeavor i guess and

169
00:08:12,629 --> 00:08:11,039
you know on the one hand i look forward

170
00:08:15,029 --> 00:08:12,639
to going home but it's something that

171
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:15,039
has been a big part of my life and i'm

172
00:08:22,309 --> 00:08:19,589
yeah we're certainly gonna miss you up

173
00:08:25,430 --> 00:08:22,319
there part of what nasa was hoping to do

174
00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:25,440
is to run some tests on the human body

175
00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:27,280
while your brother mark kelly is on the

176
00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:29,199
ground and you're up in the air uh so

177
00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:30,879
how many tests do you have to do on a

178
00:08:34,310 --> 00:08:32,800
daily basis how many fluid samples do

179
00:08:36,469 --> 00:08:34,320
you have to submit like on a scale of

180
00:08:40,389 --> 00:08:36,479
one to ten describe the intensity of the

181
00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:43,509
you know it it varies from day to day uh

182
00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:45,920
day to day and like today as an example

183
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:47,519
which is a big day for those kind of

184
00:08:51,269 --> 00:08:48,560
samples

185
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:51,279
i took uh took my own blood stuck uh the

186
00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:53,120
needle in my own arm which we do it kind

187
00:08:57,269 --> 00:08:55,600
of saves crew time it's actually easier

188
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:57,279
i did

189
00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:58,560
i think

190
00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:01,200
eight blood tubes i've been collecting

191
00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:03,680
my urine all day and saliva in the

192
00:09:07,430 --> 00:09:05,120
morning

193
00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:07,440
on other days we might do ultrasound

194
00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:09,920
exams um

195
00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:10,959
uh

196
00:09:15,829 --> 00:09:13,760
psychological tests so it it it varies

197
00:09:19,509 --> 00:09:15,839
depending on you know what what week

198
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:21,190
you know may a lot of people may not

199
00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:22,880
know that you as well as your brother

200
00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:24,720
were naval fighter pilots i had a chance

201
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:26,320
to fly with the blue angels recently

202
00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:27,760
which was a thrill of my life and when

203
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:29,040
we went vertical i've never had a

204
00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:30,640
feeling like that describe what it was

205
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:32,160
like for you in a tomcat or hornet

206
00:09:42,389 --> 00:09:40,070
you know they're uh

207
00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:42,399
the f-14 that i flew i flew the f-18 a

208
00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:45,200
little bit but mostly the uh the f-14 it

209
00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:48,000
was an amazing airplane um i really

210
00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:49,360
missed flying it

211
00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:51,839
uh you know flying in space and you know

212
00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:53,680
riding a rocket into space and coming

213
00:09:57,829 --> 00:09:55,600
back to earth is kind of an extension of

214
00:09:59,350 --> 00:09:57,839
that it's a

215
00:10:01,350 --> 00:09:59,360
you know kind of like an order of

216
00:10:03,190 --> 00:10:01,360
magnitude

217
00:10:05,269 --> 00:10:03,200
more extreme

218
00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:05,279
but you don't get to do it very often

219
00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:06,959
unlike you know when i was younger

220
00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:12,870
that's pretty cool um all right so we

221
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:15,760
all saw this crazy video of you in the

222
00:10:19,990 --> 00:10:17,360
gorilla suit i think we think it's you

223
00:10:21,430 --> 00:10:20,000
um in the gorilla suit so two things uh

224
00:10:23,590 --> 00:10:21,440
did your brother put you up to it and

225
00:10:29,030 --> 00:10:23,600
you actually packed a gorilla suit in

226
00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:30,630
you know it's interesting when you

227
00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:32,720
vacuum pack something it doesn't take up

228
00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:35,279
a whole lot of room and

229
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:39,440
yeah it was his idea but uh you know i

230
00:10:44,230 --> 00:10:42,480
i embraced it because

231
00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:44,240
you know for one when you try to get

232
00:10:47,509 --> 00:10:45,600
kids attention

233
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:47,519
and and teach them about science and

234
00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:49,200
math and engineering and things like

235
00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:51,360
that the first thing you have to do is

236
00:10:55,190 --> 00:10:53,680
get their attention and nothing gets

237
00:10:58,150 --> 00:10:55,200
people's attention

238
00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:58,160
like a gorilla in space so i think it's

239
00:11:01,509 --> 00:10:59,279
going to be

240
00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:01,519
i think i'm going to use that that video

241
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:07,509
well you had the benny hill music which

242
00:11:11,829 --> 00:11:09,839
was awesome and in fact to that point uh

243
00:11:13,509 --> 00:11:11,839
my nephews gabriel and oliver are huge

244
00:11:21,910 --> 00:11:13,519
fans especially after seeing that video

245
00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:24,069
all right commander scott kelly aboard

uh thank you you look well you look

261
00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:21,519
about the same as i saw you uh last week

262
00:12:27,269 --> 00:12:23,600
i i know there's a lot of preparation a

263
00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:27,279
lot of excitement about your return home

264
00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:29,279
and um i've been doing a lot of reading

265
00:12:32,949 --> 00:12:31,519
on all that's involved coordination wise

266
00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:32,959
on the international space station and

267
00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:35,360
all the preparation you have to take can

268
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,560
you talk to me a little bit about what

269
00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:38,880
the next few days hold in terms of

270
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:47,190
so uh yesterday we did a a fit check we

271
00:12:54,069 --> 00:12:50,880
got in our sokol soyuz pressure suits

272
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:54,079
and uh we got in the soyuz and we we

273
00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:56,320
checked them to make sure that uh you

274
00:13:01,269 --> 00:12:58,320
know they were still gonna protect us if

275
00:13:02,470 --> 00:13:01,279
we if we needed to uh use them we have

276
00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:02,480
uh

277
00:13:06,389 --> 00:13:03,920
some um

278
00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:06,399
kind of like on orbit training about

279
00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:08,959
that covers the descent procedures

280
00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:11,519
uh so we're you know we're fresh with

281
00:13:14,310 --> 00:13:12,240
with

282
00:13:16,310 --> 00:13:14,320
those we talked to the specialists on

283
00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:16,320
the ground about you know the whole

284
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:18,240
operation from you know the time we

285
00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:20,880
close the hatch until we get

286
00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:23,360
pulled out of the soyuz i'm spending a

287
00:13:27,430 --> 00:13:25,680
lot of time packing items to return

288
00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:27,440
there's not a lot of volume in the soyuz

289
00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:30,079
but we do have a lot of small items we

290
00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:31,600
return so it's

291
00:13:36,389 --> 00:13:34,639
it's a pretty busy time it's important

292
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:36,399
clearly when you're when you're coming

293
00:13:41,189 --> 00:13:38,160
back from space that we get everything

294
00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:43,269
i know you're a veteran sir at doing

295
00:13:48,150 --> 00:13:45,279
this but a couple questions just just i

296
00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:48,160
guess mentally psychologically

297
00:13:53,030 --> 00:13:50,560
is this a nerve-wracking time for you

298
00:13:54,949 --> 00:13:53,040
and also you get to take some things

299
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:54,959
back you've been up there for a year i

300
00:13:58,389 --> 00:13:56,880
know there's not a lot of room but

301
00:14:00,069 --> 00:13:58,399
are there souvenirs things that have

302
00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:00,079
been become meaningful to you that

303
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:06,069
so

304
00:14:11,829 --> 00:14:07,360
you know

305
00:14:13,829 --> 00:14:11,839
is going to be tough because i'll

306
00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:13,839
probably never see it again and you know

307
00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:15,760
i don't i don't expect i will i've flown

308
00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:18,560
in space four times now and uh so it's

309
00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:22,000
gonna be hard uh in in that respect but

310
00:14:24,949 --> 00:14:23,440
you know i certainly look forward to

311
00:14:26,949 --> 00:14:24,959
going back to earth i've been up here

312
00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:26,959
for a really long time and some

313
00:14:30,710 --> 00:14:28,399
sometimes when i think about it i feel

314
00:14:32,629 --> 00:14:30,720
like i've lived my whole life up here

315
00:14:34,629 --> 00:14:32,639
and we do have the ability to bring

316
00:14:37,269 --> 00:14:34,639
stuff back generally we can bring about

317
00:14:39,509 --> 00:14:37,279
a kilogram and a half of um

318
00:14:41,829 --> 00:14:39,519
you know stuff on on the soyuz that are

319
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:41,839
personal items in some cases things that

320
00:14:46,389 --> 00:14:44,160
people have given us

321
00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:46,399
and you know for me most of the stuff i

322
00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:48,000
bring on the soyuz is

323
00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:49,680
at home is the stuff that flew up with

324
00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:52,160
me on the soyuz and then we get to bring

325
00:14:59,670 --> 00:14:55,680
some items back on spacex we actually

326
00:15:00,949 --> 00:14:59,680
return garbage on the spacex too so

327
00:15:03,189 --> 00:15:00,959
you know we got to get rid of the stuff

328
00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:03,199
on the space station somehow so we do

329
00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:05,440
have a pretty significant capability to

330
00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:07,680
bring back stuff on on spacex that you

331
00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:08,800
might not

332
00:15:18,230 --> 00:15:16,790
and and psychologically again sir when

333
00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:18,240
you're thinking about this landing again

334
00:15:21,829 --> 00:15:20,320
it's one of obviously uh there's a lot

335
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:21,839
of things that are going on at the same

336
00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:23,120
time both from your perspective as well

337
00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:25,199
as the entire emissions perspective

338
00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:27,040
mentally psychologically how are you

339
00:15:29,829 --> 00:15:28,720
doing as you start to think about that

340
00:15:34,069 --> 00:15:29,839
and get your

341
00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:36,310
you know you do uh you do think about

342
00:15:40,790 --> 00:15:38,079
the fact that like i'm looking down at

343
00:15:43,189 --> 00:15:40,800
the earth right now and it's 250 miles

344
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:43,199
below me and only a small portion of

345
00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:44,720
that is the atmosphere and when that

346
00:15:51,749 --> 00:15:49,040
soyuz hits that atmosphere going 17 500

347
00:15:54,230 --> 00:15:51,759
miles an hour a lot of things have to

348
00:15:55,910 --> 00:15:54,240
happen just right you know to make sure

349
00:15:57,910 --> 00:15:55,920
that we touch down in that that

350
00:15:59,749 --> 00:15:57,920
parachute safely so

351
00:16:02,949 --> 00:15:59,759
you know when you look at that big space

352
00:16:04,870 --> 00:16:02,959
between us and the speed involved

353
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:04,880
it's pretty serious and it's something

354
00:16:07,749 --> 00:16:05,600
that

355
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:07,759
you definitely think about and consider

356
00:16:12,069 --> 00:16:09,360
but you know this is my second time

357
00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:12,079
flying the soyuz and uh you know my

358
00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:14,320
fourth time flying in space and uh you

359
00:16:16,629 --> 00:16:16,000
know it's something i signed up to do

360
00:16:20,069 --> 00:16:16,639
and

361
00:16:23,829 --> 00:16:20,079
we'll be ready for it next uh

362
00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:25,590
well we wish you luck with that sir you

363
00:16:29,350 --> 00:16:27,199
just mentioned you're looking down at

364
00:16:31,269 --> 00:16:29,360
earth and again that view is a and the

365
00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:31,279
most spectacular view and i've seen your

366
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:32,720
pictures

367
00:16:36,550 --> 00:16:34,720
there's a drought situation happening in

368
00:16:38,949 --> 00:16:36,560
many places around the world as you may

369
00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:38,959
know and i'm just curious aquifers of

370
00:16:43,990 --> 00:16:41,120
water starting to get depleted are you

371
00:16:45,990 --> 00:16:44,000
able to get a certain perspective from

372
00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:46,000
from where you are on what's happening

373
00:16:52,870 --> 00:16:48,320
with water on our planet here in our

374
00:16:56,150 --> 00:16:54,389
you know

375
00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:56,160
this past summer definitely there were

376
00:17:01,110 --> 00:16:58,160
like you could notice uh you know the

377
00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:01,120
drought in in california clearly in the

378
00:17:05,669 --> 00:17:03,120
and the fires

379
00:17:08,309 --> 00:17:05,679
other parts of the world i didn't really

380
00:17:11,669 --> 00:17:08,319
pay too much attention to

381
00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:11,679
you know depleting water levels there

382
00:17:16,470 --> 00:17:13,760
but you do mention the environment today

383
00:17:19,429 --> 00:17:16,480
we had this incredible pass over the

384
00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:19,439
himalayas and to just see all that that

385
00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:21,360
pollution that's just kind of like

386
00:17:25,510 --> 00:17:23,280
riding up against those mountains from

387
00:17:27,350 --> 00:17:25,520
the south is just really

388
00:17:29,669 --> 00:17:27,360
really it's kind of heartbreaking to see

389
00:17:31,669 --> 00:17:29,679
that and to see that all the time just

390
00:17:34,070 --> 00:17:31,679
kind of sitting there you know on the

391
00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:34,080
whole you know indian most of the indian

392
00:17:39,190 --> 00:17:36,400
subcon continent there but just how it

393
00:17:41,110 --> 00:17:39,200
it sits up against those mountains is uh

394
00:17:44,390 --> 00:17:41,120
you know it's really uh

395
00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:46,630
yeah just final question a little bit of

396
00:17:51,590 --> 00:17:48,320
a fun one did you get a chance to see

397
00:17:52,870 --> 00:17:51,600
the martian while you're up there

398
00:17:54,950 --> 00:17:52,880
the movie

399
00:17:56,870 --> 00:17:54,960
yeah we did watch the martian yeah we

400
00:17:58,630 --> 00:17:56,880
watched the martian it was uh

401
00:18:00,549 --> 00:17:58,640
you know it was great watching it up

402
00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:00,559
here there were a lot of you know a lot

403
00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:02,640
of parallels with that movie to uh

404
00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:04,640
living in space for a long periods of

405
00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:06,960
period of time including uh you know

406
00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:08,960
growing things uh

407
00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:11,440
you know in in in an extreme environment

408
00:18:16,549 --> 00:18:13,440
which we recently recently finished up

409
00:18:19,990 --> 00:18:18,549
sir a pleasure good luck we'll be

410
00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:20,000

title for the longest american in this

421
00:19:02,310 --> 00:19:00,720

422
00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:02,320
want to ask you how do you feel on this

423
00:19:11,270 --> 00:19:09,430

stuff down there that i miss

427
00:19:18,870 --> 00:19:16,880
and

428
00:19:21,590 --> 00:19:18,880
but you know at the same time i'm gonna

429
00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:21,600
miss the space station i still have uh

430
00:19:25,350 --> 00:19:23,440
you know a good amount of energy to

431
00:19:27,990 --> 00:19:25,360
continue to do my job which is my goal

432
00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:28,000
going into this so uh you know i have

433
00:19:34,789 --> 00:19:30,000
mixed feelings but definitely looking

434
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:36,630
everybody asked what you know what you

435
00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:38,720
are looking forward to the most but i've

436
00:19:41,909 --> 00:19:40,320
watched some of your videos and i know

437
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:41,919
you said actually you you like your

438
00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:43,360
sleeping arrangements a little bit

439
00:19:47,350 --> 00:19:45,760
better in space than you do at home so i

440
00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:47,360
want to ask you what are you going to

441
00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:49,760
miss being up in zero gravity and being

442
00:19:58,630 --> 00:19:55,510
the stuff that

443
00:20:00,789 --> 00:19:58,640
that i'm going to miss is doing a

444
00:20:02,870 --> 00:20:00,799
working on a project working on things

445
00:20:05,510 --> 00:20:02,880
that i really believe in i believe very

446
00:20:07,669 --> 00:20:05,520
strongly and something that's very very

447
00:20:09,830 --> 00:20:07,679
important and working you know kind of

448
00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:09,840
on the the tip of the spear so to speak

449
00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:11,840
as the person that's operating the uh

450
00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:13,760
the space station and performing these

451
00:20:17,990 --> 00:20:16,000
experiments um

452
00:20:20,070 --> 00:20:18,000
living in an environment like this is

453
00:20:21,029 --> 00:20:20,080
very very difficult very challenging and

454
00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:21,039
then

455
00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:24,240
you know being successful um

456
00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:26,320
you know with that and the the sense of

457
00:20:30,070 --> 00:20:28,640
satisfaction you get and

458
00:20:32,390 --> 00:20:30,080
you know i think i'm gonna miss that i'm

459
00:20:34,149 --> 00:20:32,400
still gonna obviously be involved in the

460
00:20:35,669 --> 00:20:34,159
in the space program when i when i get

461
00:20:39,430 --> 00:20:35,679
back but that's the part i'm going to

462
00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:41,430
can you explain to us the science behind

463
00:20:44,870 --> 00:20:43,280
some of the tests that will be conducted

464
00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:44,880
obviously comparing you

465
00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:46,960
with your brother and what tests have

466
00:20:53,110 --> 00:20:49,440
already taken place over the past 11

467
00:20:56,549 --> 00:20:54,470
yeah so there's a bunch of different

468
00:20:58,710 --> 00:20:56,559
studies that involve me and

469
00:21:00,789 --> 00:20:58,720
me and mark

470
00:21:03,590 --> 00:21:00,799
and that's you know that's one part of

471
00:21:05,669 --> 00:21:03,600
the larger science program of 400

472
00:21:07,750 --> 00:21:05,679
different science experiments we have

473
00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:07,760
going on while i'm up here but through

474
00:21:12,149 --> 00:21:09,360
the course of this whole year actually

475
00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:12,159
even before i launched

476
00:21:17,990 --> 00:21:14,240
you know i've done i don't know how many

477
00:21:19,430 --> 00:21:18,000
cat scans mris bone scans of various

478
00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:19,440
types we do

479
00:21:23,669 --> 00:21:21,600
ultrasounds up here we're measuring our

480
00:21:27,029 --> 00:21:23,679
bone density

481
00:21:29,029 --> 00:21:27,039
changes to my muscles including my heart

482
00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:29,039
vessels

483
00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:31,600
you know in in my body effects of

484
00:21:36,230 --> 00:21:34,000
radiation on uh

485
00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:36,240
mark and i on on a genetic level

486
00:21:40,870 --> 00:21:38,720
psychological tests so a whole you know

487
00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:40,880
whole battery of different kinds of of

488
00:21:49,510 --> 00:21:43,520
science and you know those tests will

489
00:21:52,149 --> 00:21:50,710
yeah i want i thought you could

490
00:21:53,669 --> 00:21:52,159
elaborate a little bit more on the

491
00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:53,679
psychological

492
00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:55,840
you know you have a family at home

493
00:22:03,029 --> 00:21:58,320
how has this year been for you to be

494
00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:05,590
well it's tough you know when you

495
00:22:09,669 --> 00:22:07,840
have uh you know you have a family all

496
00:22:11,750 --> 00:22:09,679
families you know at times will have

497
00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:11,760
have issues where

498
00:22:14,630 --> 00:22:12,559
they

499
00:22:16,549 --> 00:22:14,640
you know could use your your help and

500
00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:16,559
your presence and uh

501
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:18,880
in person and not not just on the phone

502
00:22:22,149 --> 00:22:20,640
so you know there have been times that

503
00:22:23,830 --> 00:22:22,159
have been challenging

504
00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:23,840
my last flight was

505
00:22:27,350 --> 00:22:26,000
you know even more challenging when my

506
00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:27,360
sister-in-law

507
00:22:31,190 --> 00:22:29,679
congresswoman gabrielle giffords was was

508
00:22:33,190 --> 00:22:31,200
shot while i was up here and still had

509
00:22:35,510 --> 00:22:33,200
two months to go so uh

510
00:22:37,750 --> 00:22:35,520
yeah it can be tough at times but we've

511
00:22:39,990 --> 00:22:37,760
worked together at it and uh you know

512
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:40,000
i've supported them as best as i i could

513
00:22:43,750 --> 00:22:41,840
and they supported me and

514
00:22:48,070 --> 00:22:43,760
and you know here we are with a week

515
00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:50,070
yeah remember we remember you uh coming

516
00:22:53,990 --> 00:22:52,159
home from that mission so i do want to

517
00:22:54,870 --> 00:22:54,000
bring up another experiment you do have

518
00:23:07,430 --> 00:22:54,880
a

519
00:23:11,029 --> 00:23:07,440
lettuce over the summer so how is your

520
00:23:16,630 --> 00:23:13,590
well the lettuce we uh we harvested oh

521
00:23:18,549 --> 00:23:16,640
man it seems like it was a lifetime ago

522
00:23:20,230 --> 00:23:18,559
we harvested that lettuce i don't even

523
00:23:23,430 --> 00:23:20,240
remember what month that was but it was

524
00:23:25,669 --> 00:23:23,440
a long time ago and the flowers that we

525
00:23:27,190 --> 00:23:25,679
grew we wanted to grow some flowering

526
00:23:29,110 --> 00:23:27,200
plants

527
00:23:31,669 --> 00:23:29,120
up here to you know demonstrate our

528
00:23:34,070 --> 00:23:31,679
ability to do that and we grew

529
00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:34,080
zinnias that had some issues at first

530
00:23:38,870 --> 00:23:36,640
but i was able to get them back in good

531
00:23:41,350 --> 00:23:38,880
shape but we recently harvested them as

532
00:23:42,870 --> 00:23:41,360
well and i i did that on valentine's day

533
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:42,880
and took some pictures of the flowers

534
00:23:46,149 --> 00:23:44,400
but we're going to have some more

535
00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:46,159
i'm not sure when but we're going to

536
00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:48,480
have some more uh stuff grown up here

537
00:23:51,750 --> 00:23:50,400
and you know stuff that we can

538
00:23:54,149 --> 00:23:51,760
you know like the lettuce hopefully

539
00:23:58,630 --> 00:23:54,159
consume and learn more about growing uh

540
00:24:02,070 --> 00:24:00,310
all right we only have about 10 seconds

541
00:24:09,110 --> 00:24:02,080
left so my last question to you is

542
00:24:13,110 --> 00:24:11,750
wow you know the food is not as

543
00:24:15,029 --> 00:24:13,120
important as you would think it's more

544
00:24:17,110 --> 00:24:15,039
the experience of being with the with

545
00:24:19,110 --> 00:24:17,120
the people and

546
00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:19,120
so i haven't given that much thought

547
00:24:26,310 --> 00:24:24,310
all right thank you so much for joining

548
00:24:33,110 --> 00:24:26,320

please stand by for a voice check from

552
00:25:03,190 --> 00:24:58,630
space station this is

553
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,510
i have you loud and clear welcome aboard

554
00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:09,669
all right well scott first of all a

555
00:25:16,789 --> 00:25:11,760
belated happy birthday how did you

556
00:25:21,430 --> 00:25:19,190
you know it was a sunday which is a rest

557
00:25:25,110 --> 00:25:21,440
day for us and we really didn't do any

558
00:25:26,710 --> 00:25:25,120
uh much celebrating at all i talked with

559
00:25:29,350 --> 00:25:26,720
actually had a

560
00:25:30,950 --> 00:25:29,360
few family conferences video conferences

561
00:25:35,029 --> 00:25:30,960
but other than that it was kind of a

562
00:25:39,350 --> 00:25:37,029
when the two of us uh talked i think you

563
00:25:42,070 --> 00:25:39,360
were about two months into the mission

564
00:25:44,230 --> 00:25:42,080
back in june you said you were counting

565
00:25:46,470 --> 00:25:44,240
up not counting down now that you're

566
00:25:50,230 --> 00:25:46,480
very close has your thinking change a

567
00:25:54,710 --> 00:25:52,710
yeah it has i did a pretty good job of

568
00:25:57,350 --> 00:25:54,720
counting up and

569
00:25:59,350 --> 00:25:57,360
and i think it was a good strategy

570
00:26:02,149 --> 00:25:59,360
and i started counting down when when we

571
00:26:04,710 --> 00:26:02,159
got to 10 days left which was a few days

572
00:26:08,950 --> 00:26:04,720
ago so i didn't make it to the end

573
00:26:12,149 --> 00:26:10,630
i know there's a lot of focus right now

574
00:26:13,669 --> 00:26:12,159
the things that you have missed the

575
00:26:15,669 --> 00:26:13,679
things you're looking forward to but

576
00:26:18,070 --> 00:26:15,679
before i get to that are you a bit

577
00:26:23,110 --> 00:26:18,080
nostalgic as your time in space is

578
00:26:28,549 --> 00:26:25,669
absolutely um you know it's it's a

579
00:26:30,789 --> 00:26:28,559
bittersweet i'm a big believer in nasa

580
00:26:32,710 --> 00:26:30,799
and what we do and the science we do up

581
00:26:34,230 --> 00:26:32,720
here and uh

582
00:26:37,110 --> 00:26:34,240
you know just

583
00:26:39,110 --> 00:26:37,120
the ability to to press our limits with

584
00:26:41,190 --> 00:26:39,120
regards to expert exploration and

585
00:26:43,029 --> 00:26:41,200
discovery i think it's uh been a

586
00:26:45,590 --> 00:26:43,039
privilege of being a part of that and

587
00:26:46,950 --> 00:26:45,600
it's something that i'm gonna miss but

588
00:26:48,630 --> 00:26:46,960
you know i've been up here a lot for a

589
00:26:51,510 --> 00:26:48,640
long time and i also look forward to

590
00:26:54,789 --> 00:26:53,029
there's some terrific science here

591
00:26:56,549 --> 00:26:54,799
obviously you and your brother mark are

592
00:26:58,710 --> 00:26:56,559
being compared to see what the how the

593
00:27:00,070 --> 00:26:58,720
experiences have changed you but walk us

594
00:27:02,549 --> 00:27:00,080
through very quickly some of the more

595
00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:02,559
profound physical changes that you know

596
00:27:08,549 --> 00:27:04,400
are going to occur as a result of you

597
00:27:14,390 --> 00:27:10,950
you know i suspect i'll have

598
00:27:16,789 --> 00:27:14,400
some bone loss probably more than i had

599
00:27:17,750 --> 00:27:16,799
last time although we have exercise that

600
00:27:19,350 --> 00:27:17,760
is

601
00:27:21,830 --> 00:27:19,360
mitigates that

602
00:27:24,070 --> 00:27:21,840
you know the biggest uh unknown out

603
00:27:25,990 --> 00:27:24,080
there is the effect of the radiation

604
00:27:27,990 --> 00:27:26,000
environment and you know what that

605
00:27:30,789 --> 00:27:28,000
effect has long term and that's

606
00:27:32,549 --> 00:27:30,799
something you know maybe we'll know uh

607
00:27:35,029 --> 00:27:32,559
hopefully i'll never find out what the

608
00:27:37,669 --> 00:27:35,039
what the true effects are of that but

609
00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:37,679
of of all the concerns that's uh that's

610
00:27:41,110 --> 00:27:39,200
my biggest concern and it's something

611
00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:41,120
that you know when we go to mars we're

612
00:27:44,950 --> 00:27:42,880
going to have to have to really tackle

613
00:27:47,350 --> 00:27:44,960
because that's an even greater

614
00:27:48,870 --> 00:27:47,360
radiation environment so hopefully with

615
00:27:51,190 --> 00:27:48,880
my brother and i in this comparative

616
00:27:54,070 --> 00:27:51,200
study we'll be able to learn

617
00:27:57,750 --> 00:27:54,080
some more about that and areas we need

618
00:28:01,190 --> 00:27:59,190
talk to me about the mental and

619
00:28:02,710 --> 00:28:01,200
psychological impact of being up there

620
00:28:04,230 --> 00:28:02,720
you look out the window you see the

621
00:28:06,230 --> 00:28:04,240
world pass by

622
00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:06,240
uh you see familiar sights what does

623
00:28:14,870 --> 00:28:12,630
you know you definitely have a a

624
00:28:17,430 --> 00:28:14,880
different perspective on on the earth

625
00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:17,440
and then and things that happen down

626
00:28:22,389 --> 00:28:19,360
there i'm actually looking at it right

627
00:28:23,350 --> 00:28:22,399
now the windows open and uh

628
00:28:25,430 --> 00:28:23,360
you know you

629
00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:25,440
you do get a sense that your you and

630
00:28:30,230 --> 00:28:27,600
your crewmates are here and everyone

631
00:28:31,830 --> 00:28:30,240
else is is down there and at least for

632
00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:31,840
me it makes me a little bit more

633
00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:34,320
empathetic to you know the stuff that

634
00:28:39,830 --> 00:28:36,880
goes on down there we i follow the news

635
00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:39,840
very closely have it on during the the

636
00:28:44,310 --> 00:28:42,240
work day and in the evenings as we you

637
00:28:47,029 --> 00:28:44,320
know float through node one there and i

638
00:28:49,190 --> 00:28:47,039
you know glance at it so i keep uh

639
00:28:51,350 --> 00:28:49,200
probably more more in touch with what's

640
00:28:53,110 --> 00:28:51,360
going on on earth when i'm in space than

641
00:28:55,190 --> 00:28:53,120
when i'm actually on earth and you

642
00:28:56,950 --> 00:28:55,200
definitely have a sense of

643
00:28:59,190 --> 00:28:56,960
an enhanced sense of

644
00:29:01,750 --> 00:28:59,200
empathy and also uh

645
00:29:04,389 --> 00:29:01,760
you know notice the uh you know the

646
00:29:06,630 --> 00:29:04,399
effects of our presence on the planet

647
00:29:08,149 --> 00:29:06,640
and it makes you somewhat uh

648
00:29:10,870 --> 00:29:08,159
if you weren't already

649
00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:10,880
a environmentalist and you know

650
00:29:16,389 --> 00:29:12,080
you know definitely a feeling that we

651
00:29:20,870 --> 00:29:18,310
before we let you go we enjoyed the

652
00:29:26,789 --> 00:29:20,880
video of the gorilla suit the other day

653
00:29:31,190 --> 00:29:29,029
well you know it was my brother's idea i

654
00:29:33,029 --> 00:29:31,200
have to give him credit but uh i warmed

655
00:29:35,750 --> 00:29:33,039
up to the idea because if you're going

656
00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:35,760
to talk to kids about science and

657
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:38,240
engineering and math those

658
00:29:40,789 --> 00:29:40,080
things that are very very important to

659
00:29:43,430 --> 00:29:40,799
us

660
00:29:46,230 --> 00:29:43,440
to our to our country you need to first

661
00:29:47,990 --> 00:29:46,240
get their attention and nothing gets

662
00:29:52,549 --> 00:29:48,000
will get kids attention

663
00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:54,070
all right in the final seconds we have

664
00:29:57,510 --> 00:29:55,760
