international space station i hear you

5
00:00:18,550 --> 00:00:16,150
well hello tim good afternoon you are

6
00:00:21,349 --> 00:00:18,560

00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:23,760
hello to them then we'll open the floor

9
00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:30,870
well to everybody in the uk poland and

10
00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:33,280
norway it's a huge pleasure and a

11
00:00:36,389 --> 00:00:34,880
privilege to be speaking to you this

12
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:36,399
afternoon from the international space

13
00:00:48,069 --> 00:00:44,310
and we're now going to the york uk for

14
00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:51,029
hello tim tom holloway hillcroft primary

15
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:54,239
school which skills or experiences have

16
00:01:02,150 --> 00:00:57,280
unexpectedly proven most useful to you

17
00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:04,549
hello tom um that's a that's a good

18
00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:06,400
question and uh one that's hard to

19
00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:08,720
answer because there's not much in the

20
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:11,280
space business that is unexpected and i

21
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:13,360
guess that's a good thing

22
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:15,280
i suppose you could say that the ability

23
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:17,600
to put together an ikea wardrobe is

24
00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:20,080
probably one of the unexpected skills

25
00:01:24,789 --> 00:01:22,799
and what i mean by that is is just the

26
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:24,799
ability really to be able to operate

27
00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:26,720
with tools and equipment to read

28
00:01:31,429 --> 00:01:29,119
procedures efficiently and effectively

29
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:31,439
that's our day-to-day operation and it's

30
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:33,040
something that we have to be good for a

31
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:36,000
good at but our training is so

32
00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:38,320
comprehensive and we spend so long we've

33
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:40,880
got such a good ground team thousands of

34
00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:43,200
people who prepare us for this mission

35
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:45,119
that in all reality there's not much

36
00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:55,830
hi tim

37
00:02:01,670 --> 00:01:58,240
karen hammond head teacher mellow

38
00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:01,680
community primary school in leicester

39
00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:04,159
what training have you received to

40
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:07,200
support the development of your creative

41
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:16,309
hi karen um that's an interesting

42
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,720
question and i think really in terms of

43
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:20,720
creative thinking and problem solving

44
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:22,720
that's something that we develop

45
00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:24,160
throughout our entire lives and

46
00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:25,920
certainly for the early part of my

47
00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:28,560
career as a military officer and 18

48
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:30,480
years as a military pilot and

49
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:32,319
subsequently as a test pilot as well

50
00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:35,200
we're constantly being taught how to be

51
00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:37,680
critical of our surroundings and uh the

52
00:02:41,589 --> 00:02:39,280
things that we're working with and how

53
00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:41,599
to improve on things and that certainly

54
00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:42,959
helps with the creative thinking and

55
00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:45,360
problem solving in terms of the training

56
00:02:49,509 --> 00:02:47,920
i've received from the space agency two

57
00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:49,519
elements stand out in particular and

58
00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:52,400
that's the european space agency's caves

59
00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:54,879
training where we live for seven days

60
00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:56,959
seven days and nights in a cave in

61
00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:58,319
sardinia

62
00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:00,959
with five or six fellow astronauts and

63
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:02,480
cosmonauts

64
00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:04,800
and we are put under pressure we're

65
00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:06,640
trying to do tasks that are similar to

66
00:03:11,430 --> 00:03:08,800
the task will be expected of us in space

67
00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:11,440
and it's a wonderful environment to do

68
00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:13,519
uh all of the site kind of psychological

69
00:03:17,589 --> 00:03:16,400
profiling and also to try and involve

70
00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:17,599
those creative thinking those

71
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:19,840
problem-solving type skills and the

72
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:21,120
second training event which was

73
00:03:25,990 --> 00:03:22,959
excellent for that as well which is a

74
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:26,000
nasa's nemo event where i spent 12 days

75
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:28,640
underwater off the coast of florida

76
00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:30,720
and again we were using that as a space

77
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:39,990
thank you tim we're now going to warsaw

78
00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:45,430
hi tim

79
00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:48,080
koji czech primary school

80
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:53,120
number 94 in warsaw my question is

81
00:04:02,149 --> 00:03:55,760
is the career of an astronaut your

82
00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:03,750
well it's great to be speaking to you in

83
00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:06,239
in warsaw this afternoon and yes i mean

84
00:04:10,949 --> 00:04:08,799
being an astronaut is certainly uh has

85
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:10,959
been a passion of mine since a very

86
00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:13,280
early age and uh that's when my interest

87
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:15,920
in space began really as a young boy but

88
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:18,880
as a teenager i became very interested

89
00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:21,120
and very passionate about flying and i

90
00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:23,120
think really that stemmed from an

91
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:25,759
involvement in a cadet force at school

92
00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,320
where i was able to fly light aircraft

93
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:30,479
from the age of kind of 14 and 15

94
00:04:35,189 --> 00:04:32,720
onwards and i decided i wanted to be a

95
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:35,199
pilot and i was just very fortunate i

96
00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:37,520
was able to fulfill that dream

97
00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:40,400
and by the age of 20 i was a military

98
00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:42,639
pilot and had a wonderful career that

99
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:45,600
led to me being a test pilot and i see

100
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:48,160
icy being an astronaut really as

101
00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:50,320
the pinnacle of a test pilot's career so

102
00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:52,720
for me it was more of a logical

103
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:54,960
progression throughout my life and i was

104
00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:57,280
very fortunate that that resulted in

105
00:05:01,029 --> 00:04:58,960
being in the right time and the right

106
00:05:03,510 --> 00:05:01,039
place i had the correct qualifications

107
00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:03,520
and i was able to apply for the european

108
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:07,039
space agency astronaut selection um and

109
00:05:11,029 --> 00:05:08,800
in 2008

110
00:05:13,990 --> 00:05:11,039
so really it was just a culmination of

111
00:05:21,749 --> 00:05:14,000
all of those years that uh began with a

112
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:24,230
hello tim wanda saha

113
00:05:27,909 --> 00:05:26,160
the autonomic middle school of support

114
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:27,919
and i wanted to ask you

115
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:30,080
which results from an experiment on the

116
00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:32,400
iss have proven to be the most

117
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:33,919
surprising to you

118
00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:36,560
and what skills do you use when

119
00:05:46,070 --> 00:05:43,909
uh great question um

120
00:05:47,350 --> 00:05:46,080
so the in terms of the results of the

121
00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:47,360
experiments you know a lot of the

122
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:49,280
experiments that we do

123
00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:52,320
run for a number of years because they

124
00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:55,600
have a small sample rate and so in order

125
00:05:59,350 --> 00:05:57,360
to have enough samples to make them

126
00:06:01,909 --> 00:05:59,360
viable they have to run for a number of

127
00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:01,919
years so we don't often get instant

128
00:06:06,070 --> 00:06:04,319
gratification in terms of the results of

129
00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:06,080
scientific experiments often we have to

130
00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:08,319
wait for a long time

131
00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:10,479
but i've certainly enjoyed a lot of the

132
00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:12,400
human physiology experiments i've been

133
00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:13,840
doing up here

134
00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:16,160
actually seeing physical changes in in

135
00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:18,080
my own body in terms of things like

136
00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:19,600
blood pressure

137
00:06:23,909 --> 00:06:22,720
ultrasounds and ocular vision testing

138
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:23,919
etc

139
00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:25,360
and also doing some of the flame

140
00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:27,280
combustion techniques those

141
00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:29,360
those experiments which are very visual

142
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:31,840
and certainly watching flame combustion

143
00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:34,000
in in zero gravity is is incredibly

144
00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:37,120
vigil visual and very exciting um i i

145
00:06:42,309 --> 00:06:39,280
really enjoyed the airway monitoring

146
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:42,319
experiment which where we used the the

147
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:44,240
international space station's airlock as

148
00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:46,400
a hyperbaric chamber for the first time

149
00:06:49,189 --> 00:06:47,600
ever

150
00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:49,199
and that will hopefully be an experiment

151
00:06:53,110 --> 00:06:50,560
that will continue for a number of years

152
00:06:54,710 --> 00:06:53,120
to investigate airway inflammation and

153
00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:54,720
will have huge benefits for people on

154
00:06:58,390 --> 00:06:56,639
earth for example those people who

155
00:07:00,390 --> 00:06:58,400
suffer from asthma

156
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:00,400
so that's just an example of some of the

157
00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:02,800
experiments we've been doing

158
00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:04,479
and in terms of the skills that we need

159
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:06,880
to perform them well obviously we're

160
00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:08,240
very interested and we're passionate

161
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:09,840
about what we're doing up here and in

162
00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:11,440
particular the science

163
00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:14,160
we need to be able to be very accurate

164
00:07:19,749 --> 00:07:16,720
in our work it's important that we don't

165
00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:19,759
lose any scientific data obviously it's

166
00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:21,440
uh it's an expensive and it's a long

167
00:07:25,749 --> 00:07:23,440
process in getting scientific payloads

168
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:25,759
into space so by the time it comes down

169
00:07:29,510 --> 00:07:27,280
to the astronauts we need to make sure

170
00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:29,520
that we work quickly and effect

171
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:31,280
effectively and efficiently but most

172
00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:33,280
importantly that we're very accurate in

173
00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:41,990
and now we go to oslo norway for their

174
00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:45,199
two questions

175
00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:48,240
hi tim i am venkaiah

176
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:49,759
teaching at

177
00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:51,280
the columbia school

178
00:07:55,589 --> 00:07:53,680
can you remember the first time you had

179
00:07:57,670 --> 00:07:55,599
an interest in space

180
00:08:02,790 --> 00:07:57,680
and how did this influence on your

181
00:08:06,869 --> 00:08:04,629
well good afternoon norway

182
00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:06,879
and what a great question the first time

183
00:08:12,629 --> 00:08:10,080
that really space had an influence on me

184
00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:12,639
i think was as a very young boy when i

185
00:08:17,749 --> 00:08:15,280
used to love looking up at the stars um

186
00:08:19,909 --> 00:08:17,759
and i always had kind of questions to my

187
00:08:22,629 --> 00:08:19,919
parents about where we are what's the

188
00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:22,639
universe made of um what are the planets

189
00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:25,199
in the solar system and i loved just

190
00:08:29,029 --> 00:08:26,960
learning about the stars and the

191
00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:29,039
universe and really that progressed

192
00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:32,159
throughout my life into a passion for

193
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:34,640
physics and as an adult i i love

194
00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:36,240
studying things like quantum physics and

195
00:08:39,909 --> 00:08:38,240
i still ask those big questions about

196
00:08:41,589 --> 00:08:39,919
our place in the universe and how

197
00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:41,599
science can help to answer those

198
00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:50,550
uh hi tim i'm seaman bagweek from

199
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:52,720
underneath school in norway

200
00:08:57,590 --> 00:08:55,360
if you had the opportunity to start your

201
00:09:03,590 --> 00:08:57,600
education again would you have done

202
00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:05,269
uh what a great question would i do

203
00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:06,800
anything differently i would i would say

204
00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:08,399
absolutely no i wouldn't do anything

205
00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:10,720
differently because i'm stood here or

206
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:12,240
floating here talking to you from the

207
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:14,800
international space station so i i'm

208
00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:16,399
exceptionally happy obviously in the way

209
00:09:21,670 --> 00:09:19,040
that my career has worked out but it

210
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:21,680
certainly was a fairly unorthodox route

211
00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:24,160
to becoming an astronaut

212
00:09:28,870 --> 00:09:26,000
if you were to say to somebody do you

213
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:28,880
think leaving school at the age of 19

214
00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:32,080
with three very average a-levels and not

215
00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:34,480
going to university but joining the army

216
00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:36,160
was a good route to becoming an

217
00:09:40,710 --> 00:09:38,320
astronaut perhaps the answer would be no

218
00:09:43,590 --> 00:09:40,720
um i was very fortunate that for me that

219
00:09:45,509 --> 00:09:43,600
meant i had a huge amount of operational

220
00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:45,519
experience in the early part of my

221
00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:47,680
career and i was very fortunate that i

222
00:09:52,870 --> 00:09:50,560
was able to do a degree later in life

223
00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:52,880
but i didn't achieve that until the age

224
00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:54,480
of 33

225
00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:56,080
where effectively i had to go back to

226
00:09:59,829 --> 00:09:57,200
school

227
00:10:01,269 --> 00:09:59,839
relearn maths to a very high level and

228
00:10:02,790 --> 00:10:01,279
then complete a degree in flight

229
00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:02,800
dynamics

230
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:04,720
so yes it was a fairly unorthodox route

231
00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:06,480
to becoming an astronaut but it worked

232
00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:14,150
well thank you so much tim this is

233
00:10:19,269 --> 00:10:16,720
melanie and aztec i've just heard we

234
00:10:21,030 --> 00:10:19,279
have no more time for questions so we'd

235
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:21,040
like to thank you for your time and give

236
00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:23,760
you a chance to say goodbye to the uk

237
00:10:32,949 --> 00:10:31,350
well to everybody that is there today

238
00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:32,959
i've it's been a real pleasure talking

239
00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:34,240
to you thank you so much for the

240
00:10:37,829 --> 00:10:36,560
brilliant questions and i wish you all a

241
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:37,839
great day from up here on the

242
00:10:51,670 --> 00:10:49,350
station this is houston acr

243
00:10:53,910 --> 00:10:51,680
that concludes the european space agency

244
00:10:58,150 --> 00:10:53,920
portion of the event please stand by for

245
00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:00,790
station this is the associated press how

246
00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:06,790
we hear you loud and clear from the

247
00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:09,200
international space station

248
00:11:13,829 --> 00:11:12,000
well good day gentlemen from the kennedy

249
00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:13,839
space center in florida this is marcia

250
00:11:17,670 --> 00:11:15,839
dunn of the ap speaking to you this

251
00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:17,680
morning

252
00:11:22,069 --> 00:11:19,920
thank you all for participating it's

253
00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:22,079
been an exciting past couple of weeks

254
00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:24,160
for commercial space

255
00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:25,680
let's start with last friday's

256
00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:27,600
successful landing of the falcon first

257
00:11:32,470 --> 00:11:30,240
stage off the coast of florida i'm sure

258
00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:32,480
you've seen some pictures and video how

259
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:34,320
do you see this is shaping the future of

260
00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:36,720
space flight bringing back rockets and

261
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:42,790
you know anytime we can make uh space

262
00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:44,880
flight more efficient and less costly

263
00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:46,800
then it's a huge step forward and i

264
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:49,279
think uh you know both uh companies that

265
00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:51,120
have achieved this amazing event to be

266
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:52,160
able to

267
00:11:56,629 --> 00:11:54,959
to land a a stage of a rocket like that

268
00:11:59,190 --> 00:11:56,639
and so that it can be reused like blue

269
00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:59,200
origin and spacex is an amazing event

270
00:12:03,509 --> 00:12:01,440
you know to me it reminds me of science

271
00:12:05,670 --> 00:12:03,519
fiction movies when we were a kid when

272
00:12:07,670 --> 00:12:05,680
all rockets landed like that and so it's

273
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:07,680
a it's really neat to see but from a

274
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:09,440
very practical standpoint and for our

275
00:12:13,990 --> 00:12:12,160
future it demonstrates that the

276
00:12:16,949 --> 00:12:14,000
commercial space industry is alive and

277
00:12:18,629 --> 00:12:16,959
well and being very productive and

278
00:12:21,509 --> 00:12:18,639
progressive in terms of the techniques

279
00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:21,519
that they plan to use in the future

280
00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:23,519
tell me were you watching the launch and

281
00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:25,760
the landing live on friday evening or

282
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:36,150
no we were not watching it marcia it

283
00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:38,000
didn't work out with our schedule so we

284
00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:40,240
saw the coverage of course afterwards we

285
00:12:45,590 --> 00:12:43,200
heard about it as soon as we got up

286
00:12:47,110 --> 00:12:45,600
but no we did not see it live

287
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:47,120
well you know there's also the bigelow

288
00:12:50,949 --> 00:12:48,800
expandable module that you've got up

289
00:12:53,509 --> 00:12:50,959
there right now and if we could talk for

290
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:53,519
that for a few minutes um how excited

291
00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:54,880
are you about getting the first

292
00:12:59,430 --> 00:12:57,360
inflatable module for astronauts and

293
00:13:01,910 --> 00:12:59,440
getting to try it out granted not for

294
00:13:03,269 --> 00:13:01,920
another month or so but

295
00:13:05,269 --> 00:13:03,279
tell me tell me your thoughts on

296
00:13:10,710 --> 00:13:05,279
expandable inflatable

297
00:13:15,509 --> 00:13:13,110
well we're excited to attach another

298
00:13:16,470 --> 00:13:15,519
vehicle essentially onto space station

299
00:13:18,949 --> 00:13:16,480
and

300
00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:18,959
again this is an example of where the

301
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:20,800
commercial space industry has really

302
00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:22,880
been innovative in their techniques and

303
00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:24,880
so this will be a great way for us to

304
00:13:28,230 --> 00:13:26,480
test out both the thermal

305
00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:28,240
characteristics of this new type of

306
00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:31,360
module and its radiation protection

307
00:13:34,870 --> 00:13:33,680
so it's going to be a neat thing to have

308
00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:34,880
on station we're not going to use it

309
00:13:38,629 --> 00:13:36,959
routinely but we'll go in to

310
00:13:41,269 --> 00:13:38,639
to add sensors and to make sure

311
00:13:42,470 --> 00:13:41,279
everything is working properly

312
00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:42,480
what kind of a role are you going to

313
00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:44,480
play in the next couple of days as it's

314
00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:47,600
detached from its from the trunk of the

315
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:50,160
dragon and put on board you're going to

316
00:13:55,670 --> 00:13:52,160
just monitor that oversee it or will you

317
00:14:01,189 --> 00:13:58,870
mostly we'll be monitoring it

318
00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:01,199
in terms of the robotic activity as you

319
00:14:04,790 --> 00:14:03,440
know over the years we started out in

320
00:14:06,790 --> 00:14:04,800
the beginning where the crew on board

321
00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:06,800
did all the robotic activity and then

322
00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:08,560
that we started developing the ability

323
00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:10,720
for the for the ground to do it and now

324
00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:13,920
they're doing virtually everything

325
00:14:17,269 --> 00:14:15,760
with just a couple exceptions like the

326
00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:17,279
track and capture of the vehicles that

327
00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:19,440
you saw the last couple of weeks

328
00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:21,360
they will move it over with the robotic

329
00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:24,880
arm and then we will grab it with the

330
00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:26,240
latches

331
00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:28,639
on the berthing mechanism and then do

332
00:14:31,990 --> 00:14:30,240
the initial bolting and then the ground

333
00:14:33,990 --> 00:14:32,000
will take over after that of course

334
00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:34,000
we'll do leak checks later on

335
00:14:37,829 --> 00:14:36,160
before we ingress it and uh instrument

336
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:37,839
it as tim mentioned

337
00:14:41,430 --> 00:14:39,680
well you know robert bigelow said just

338
00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:41,440
the other day that he'd like his first

339
00:14:46,949 --> 00:14:44,880
super big inflatable b330 to link up

340
00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:46,959
with the international space station in

341
00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:50,320
2020 what do you think about that

342
00:15:00,150 --> 00:14:51,920
might that be a

343
00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:02,230
you know i think anytime we can bring up

344
00:15:06,310 --> 00:15:04,320
new modules to space station we're going

345
00:15:08,069 --> 00:15:06,320
to be excited about that we have a big

346
00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:08,079
station here but there's room to make it

347
00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:10,000
bigger and so if we could add you know

348
00:15:14,710 --> 00:15:12,160
additional modules to test out the

349
00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:14,720
future of space exploration and

350
00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:16,320
and the way that humans are going to

351
00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:18,720
interact and and work with with modules

352
00:15:23,430 --> 00:15:21,120
i think it's a great idea

353
00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:23,440
um back to the dragon uh

354
00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:26,000
what special treats did you guys find in

355
00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:28,959
the latest delivery prizes or

356
00:15:34,550 --> 00:15:30,720
something that hit the taste buds just

357
00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:35,910
well you know one of the things that the

358
00:15:39,829 --> 00:15:38,079
crew love about visiting vehicles is

359
00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:39,839
that we get a few fresh supplies and

360
00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:42,480
certainly dragon was uh no exception to

361
00:15:47,350 --> 00:15:44,800
that we had some fresh fruit uh some

362
00:15:49,670 --> 00:15:47,360
oranges some apples on board and some

363
00:15:51,110 --> 00:15:49,680
personal items as well so uh that's some

364
00:15:53,189 --> 00:15:51,120
of the nice things that come up in the

365
00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:53,199
cargo vehicles

366
00:15:58,230 --> 00:15:55,839
um for the two tims you've been up there

367
00:15:59,910 --> 00:15:58,240
a while and and scott kelly

368
00:16:01,670 --> 00:15:59,920
being back on earth now from his one

369
00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:01,680
year mission has mentioned the

370
00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:04,160
psychological stress that you know he

371
00:16:07,749 --> 00:16:06,160
had to endure for a year in space

372
00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:07,759
granted you're only up there for six

373
00:16:12,870 --> 00:16:10,240
months but that's still a long time

374
00:16:15,189 --> 00:16:12,880
what's your take so far on psychological

375
00:16:20,629 --> 00:16:15,199
stress on long duration space flight as

376
00:16:24,470 --> 00:16:22,790
you know it's a great question and uh

377
00:16:27,430 --> 00:16:24,480
you know it was really a pleasure to be

378
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:27,440
here with with scott for his last few

379
00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:30,000
months and uh you know it's evident to

380
00:16:35,030 --> 00:16:33,120
us that you know scott had uh

381
00:16:37,509 --> 00:16:35,040
had developed this ability to just

382
00:16:39,829 --> 00:16:37,519
endure up here from all the stresses and

383
00:16:42,310 --> 00:16:39,839
strains and really had this nice steady

384
00:16:44,310 --> 00:16:42,320
approach and so you know really i think

385
00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:44,320
that we can learn from him in terms of

386
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:46,560
of what is what's necessary in order to

387
00:16:49,749 --> 00:16:48,240
sustain for a long period of time you

388
00:16:52,150 --> 00:16:49,759
know there are stresses and strains up

389
00:16:54,949 --> 00:16:52,160
here we have a very busy schedule

390
00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:54,959
and uh we work and live in the same

391
00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:56,880
place so it's not really that you can

392
00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:59,199
escape your work and and uh

393
00:17:03,350 --> 00:17:01,440
and sort of detach away from what you're

394
00:17:05,110 --> 00:17:03,360
doing every day but at the same time i

395
00:17:07,909 --> 00:17:05,120
think that you can learn to develop a

396
00:17:09,350 --> 00:17:07,919
pace where it's uh it's very easy to

397
00:17:11,350 --> 00:17:09,360
work and live up here and the other

398
00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:11,360
thing that's very vital is to have the

399
00:17:14,870 --> 00:17:12,880
right kind of people so when you have a

400
00:17:17,029 --> 00:17:14,880
great crew like we do and like we had

401
00:17:19,669 --> 00:17:17,039
when scott was here it makes life that

402
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:19,679
much better and i think you can sustain

403
00:17:22,870 --> 00:17:21,760
as long as you need to as long as we can

404
00:17:26,470 --> 00:17:22,880
break the code on some of the

405
00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:26,480
physiological aspects of zero gravity

406
00:17:30,789 --> 00:17:28,720
um for tim peake i'm wondering how the

407
00:17:32,710 --> 00:17:30,799
carbo loading is going up there in the

408
00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:32,720
training you know the london marathon is

409
00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:35,039
just another week and a half away tell

410
00:17:40,630 --> 00:17:38,080
me tell me how you anticipate doing how

411
00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:40,640
are you feeling and

412
00:17:49,190 --> 00:17:47,510
before yes i i'm really looking forward

413
00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:49,200
to this it's a it's a great challenge

414
00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:50,720
that i've set myself

415
00:17:54,150 --> 00:17:52,080
and i'm quite glad that this is

416
00:17:55,990 --> 00:17:54,160
happening later on in the mission so

417
00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:56,000
i've had plenty of time now to get used

418
00:18:00,150 --> 00:17:58,320
to the t2 treadmill and one of the

419
00:18:02,470 --> 00:18:00,160
biggest challenges is the harness system

420
00:18:04,230 --> 00:18:02,480
obviously my body weight has to be kept

421
00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:04,240
firmly attached to the treadmill by this

422
00:18:07,990 --> 00:18:06,000
harness and that can rub on the

423
00:18:09,590 --> 00:18:08,000
shoulders and around the waist

424
00:18:11,669 --> 00:18:09,600
but i've got the i've got the harness

425
00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:11,679
fitting pretty well now i'm very used to

426
00:18:15,190 --> 00:18:13,440
running i've done a few half marathons

427
00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:15,200
and a little bit longer

428
00:18:19,029 --> 00:18:17,360
and i really enjoy running up here and

429
00:18:20,789 --> 00:18:19,039
so i'm looking forward to the event next

430
00:18:22,710 --> 00:18:20,799
sunday

431
00:18:24,630 --> 00:18:22,720
well will this be your first marathon on

432
00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:24,640
earth or in space or have you run

433
00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:31,390
i actually ran the london marathon in

434
00:18:36,630 --> 00:18:34,240
1999 and i did it in uh about three

435
00:18:38,549 --> 00:18:36,640
hours and 15 minutes so i'm not gonna

436
00:18:40,390 --> 00:18:38,559
beat that time i'm sure up here but i'd

437
00:18:43,029 --> 00:18:40,400
like to do it in under four hours if i'm

438
00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:43,039
feeling really good maybe three hours 33

439
00:18:46,230 --> 00:18:44,880
hours 45.

440
00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:46,240
well that sounds good enough to get you

441
00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:48,720
to boston next year um wouldn't that be

442
00:18:53,029 --> 00:18:49,840
something

443
00:18:54,310 --> 00:18:53,039
uh for the other two

444
00:18:55,510 --> 00:18:54,320
astronauts

445
00:18:56,950 --> 00:18:55,520
could you tell me how are you going to

446
00:18:59,590 --> 00:18:56,960
be monitoring him are you going to be

447
00:19:05,830 --> 00:18:59,600
bringing him water or wiping his brow

448
00:19:09,350 --> 00:19:07,750
well depends upon the schedule when he's

449
00:19:11,270 --> 00:19:09,360
actually running it but no we'll help

450
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:11,280
him out with whatever he needs we'll

451
00:19:15,029 --> 00:19:13,280
check in on him every now and then and

452
00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:15,039
make sure he gets all the food and drink

453
00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:18,240
that that he needs to make it through it

454
00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:19,760
um jeff you're going to be breaking the

455
00:19:25,669 --> 00:19:22,400
u.s record for most cumulative time

456
00:19:28,630 --> 00:19:25,679
spent in space i guess this fall

457
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:28,640
uh how is it for you being back in space

458
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:29,679
um

459
00:19:32,870 --> 00:19:30,880
and and

460
00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:32,880
does it seem like

461
00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:34,480
you're going to have spent so much time

462
00:19:39,510 --> 00:19:37,120
in space by the end of this mission it's

463
00:19:41,110 --> 00:19:39,520
a long way even though it's split over

464
00:19:43,029 --> 00:19:41,120
several flights and

465
00:19:44,789 --> 00:19:43,039
and if that's my last question i'll say

466
00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:44,799
god speak to you right now all three of

467
00:19:50,950 --> 00:19:49,510
thank you i

468
00:19:53,029 --> 00:19:50,960
i don't really think too much about that

469
00:19:54,710 --> 00:19:53,039
i think of it more in terms of the of

470
00:19:56,789 --> 00:19:54,720
the accomplishment of the international

471
00:19:58,470 --> 00:19:56,799
space station as you know the first time

472
00:20:00,789 --> 00:19:58,480
i got here uh it was right at the

473
00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:00,799
beginning before expedition one and then

474
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:02,640
came back halfway through the the build

475
00:20:06,789 --> 00:20:04,880
and then i was here at almost assembly

476
00:20:08,630 --> 00:20:06,799
complete and now we're in full

477
00:20:10,950 --> 00:20:08,640
utilization mode so it's been an honor

478
00:20:13,029 --> 00:20:10,960
to be part of the space station program

479
00:20:16,789 --> 00:20:13,039
in that respect the day is the number of

480
00:20:21,110 --> 00:20:19,110
well thank you again all three of you

481
00:20:25,510 --> 00:20:21,120
safe travels and

482
00:20:31,669 --> 00:20:26,950
thank you so much marcia it's been nice
