00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:10,480
at the cheltenham science festival it's

4
00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:11,440
great to be talking to you this

5
00:00:18,070 --> 00:00:14,160

00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:24,640
the times cheltenham science festival we

9
00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:27,439
are here in the space dome uh and we're

10
00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:30,080

a fantastic six months up here really

17
00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:50,480
remarkable incredible experience and uh

18
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:52,239
yes of course i'm looking forward to

19
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,760
coming home looking forward to seeing my

20
00:01:01,750 --> 00:00:55,680
friends and my family but i am going to

21
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:03,750
that's fantastic i'm going to start off

22
00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:05,760
with the siren susta

23
00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:07,520
kings hill school i want to introduce

24
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:10,880
you to hannah slack who's in year 10 and

25
00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:12,960
she's got a fantastic question for you

26
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:14,400
to get the ball rolling and then we'll

27
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:15,840
talk to the press after that so i'm

28
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:18,880
going to hand you to hannah now tim

29
00:01:22,469 --> 00:01:20,880
hi my question is do you think it will

30
00:01:26,789 --> 00:01:22,479
be hard to adapt to life back on earth

31
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:28,630
hi hannah that's a good question to ask

32
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:30,400
and one that i've been paying particular

33
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:32,720
attention to recently uh but yes it is

34
00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:34,400
going to be quite tricky to adapt it's

35
00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:36,479
probably going to take me um at least

36
00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:39,119
two or three days before i feel well and

37
00:01:43,910 --> 00:01:41,439
it will take me several months before my

38
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:43,920
my body fully recovers in terms of bone

39
00:01:46,389 --> 00:01:45,200
density

40
00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:46,399
and also be interesting to see if

41
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:48,240
there's been any lasting changes for

42
00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:51,040
example to eyesight etc but generally

43
00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:52,799
speaking after about two or three days i

44
00:02:00,550 --> 00:01:54,479
should be fairly comfortable back on

45
00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:01,990
thank you very much tim i'm going to

46
00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:03,520
hand you over to some journalists now i

47
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:05,200
know we've got a very very short amount

48
00:02:07,749 --> 00:02:06,640
of time so i'm not going to whistle on

49
00:02:09,749 --> 00:02:07,759
i'm going to hand over to the journalist

50
00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:09,759
now we're going to go round the room so

51
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:12,560
here's question number one for you

52
00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:14,319
tim it's thomas moore from sky news

53
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:16,400
hello now tell me are you i'm sure

54
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:17,920
you're very well prepared for the

55
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:20,400
physical rigors of reentry but what

56
00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:22,720
about the psychological the emotional

57
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:26,000
impact of coming home back to earth and

58
00:02:29,910 --> 00:02:28,000
seeing friends and family and other

59
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:29,920
human beings for the first time in six

60
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:35,509
yes it's a good question to ask i think

61
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:37,840
i'm i'm ready for it and and we have you

62
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:39,680
know good contact up here in the space

63
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:42,080
station of course on a daily basis with

64
00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:44,080
mission control all over the world and

65
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:46,720
our families too who i'm able to call um

66
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:48,640
so that has helped that you know keeping

67
00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:50,640
in connection with planet earth and with

68
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:51,760
everybody back on earth but i'm

69
00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:53,680
certainly looking forward to coming back

70
00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:55,120
and seeing friends and family again and

71
00:03:04,149 --> 00:02:57,040
i don't think it will be too hard to

72
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,309
hi tim uh this is tom whipple from the

73
00:03:11,509 --> 00:03:08,640
times um my question is the fact that

74
00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:11,519
you're in space at all represents a big

75
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:14,480
change in uk space policy until you came

76
00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:17,120
along uh we decided that it wasn't

77
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:18,879
worthwhile scientifically but that

78
00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:21,120
changed so my question is as you reach

79
00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:23,840
the end of your trip have you been

80
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,630
it's a very important question to ask

81
00:03:34,309 --> 00:03:32,640
and it's certainly one that i'm sure

82
00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:34,319
people will be uh paying a lot of

83
00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:36,000
attention to and researching into from

84
00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:38,000
my personal perspective of course i

85
00:03:41,670 --> 00:03:39,519
think this has been an exceptionally

86
00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:41,680
worthwhile endeavor and it's not just

87
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:43,440
about this one mission this is about the

88
00:03:47,589 --> 00:03:45,440
uk becoming involved in human space

89
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:47,599
flight hopefully for the foreseeable

90
00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:49,840
future not just for our science

91
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:52,640
community not just for our industry but

92
00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:55,200
also for the kids and for education and

93
00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:57,519
outreach and to try to inspire people to

94
00:04:01,750 --> 00:03:59,200
look at science and look at space in a

95
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:01,760
different way space is going to play an

96
00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:04,080
ever increasingly important role in our

97
00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:06,480
lives and if the uk is not in the

98
00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:08,400
forefront of that then we're missing out

99
00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:10,400
quite simply so i certainly think this

100
00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:17,830
hi tim it's still mackey from bbc radio

101
00:04:21,749 --> 00:04:19,519
5 live we've been asking five live

102
00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:21,759
listeners today um whether or not uh

103
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:23,199
they had questions for you we had lots

104
00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:24,960
of interesting ones um lots of which you

105
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:26,320
probably wouldn't want to have heard

106
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:28,320
here's one from five live listener adam

107
00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:30,800
in leoncy and he asked what have you

108
00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:32,639
learned about earth in the time that

109
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:38,870
well i've learned so much about earth

110
00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:41,040
just in terms of being able to see it

111
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:43,199
changing over over six months and really

112
00:04:48,070 --> 00:04:45,840
most of it is about how beautiful the

113
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:48,080
planet is how thin and fragile the

114
00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:50,800
atmosphere is how remarkable the weather

115
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:52,080
systems are

116
00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:54,000
that globally affect the planet the

117
00:04:59,110 --> 00:04:56,400
auroras certainly during the winter the

118
00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:59,120
aurora was absolutely magnificent

119
00:05:03,189 --> 00:05:01,120
and even now going into summer we have

120
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:03,199
little surprises like noctilucent clouds

121
00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:04,800
coming up in june

122
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:06,639
so honestly every time i go to the

123
00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:08,800
cupola window and look outside i can

124
00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:10,479
normally find something new that i

125
00:05:13,830 --> 00:05:12,000
haven't seen before and that has been

126
00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:13,840
what's been most remarkable about the

127
00:05:23,350 --> 00:05:21,430
hi tim ken goodwin from itv west country

128
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:23,360
we've got lots of young people here what

129
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:24,400
do you think

130
00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:26,880
has been the result of your trip on the

131
00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:29,120
young people that you've engaged with on

132
00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:30,960
social media and that you've managed to

133
00:05:37,990 --> 00:05:32,160
talk to

134
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:40,230
you know part of uh part of this mission

135
00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:42,560
before i uh launched was to try and

136
00:05:46,230 --> 00:05:44,720
engage with as many people as possible

137
00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:46,240
and to try and share the experience as

138
00:05:49,510 --> 00:05:48,000
much as possible it's already been

139
00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:49,520
mentioned that it's been you know a long

140
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:51,600
time since the uk actually

141
00:05:55,430 --> 00:05:53,440
enjoyed having a british astronaut helen

142
00:05:57,189 --> 00:05:55,440
sharma 25 years ago and so these

143
00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:57,199
opportunities don't come around very

144
00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:58,639
often and it's important that we make

145
00:06:01,670 --> 00:05:59,919
the most of them

146
00:06:03,670 --> 00:06:01,680
and part of that is to reach out to our

147
00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:03,680
young generation and try and let them

148
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:05,120
share the mission to try and get them

149
00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:06,960
excited about science and excited about

150
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:09,360
space and i've had such a brilliant um

151
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,520
support team on the ground who've run

152
00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:13,600
the educational outreach program and

153
00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:16,080
we've had so many competitions in a vast

154
00:06:19,830 --> 00:06:18,080
uh array of different spheres from

155
00:06:22,629 --> 00:06:19,840
things like rocket seeds to space

156
00:06:24,629 --> 00:06:22,639
dinners to the astro pie computer

157
00:06:26,629 --> 00:06:24,639
fit and healthy exercise like mission x

158
00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:26,639
and space to earth the list just goes on

159
00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:28,319
and i think we've reached over a million

160
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:30,560
children across the uk which is truly

161
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:32,720
remarkable and so i hope that certainly

162
00:06:36,469 --> 00:06:34,800
will help to have an impact in uh

163
00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:36,479
inspiring our future scientists and

164
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:46,070
tim this is david alard from bbc south

165
00:06:50,469 --> 00:06:48,000
today our viewers have loved seeing the

166
00:06:52,550 --> 00:06:50,479
photos you've tweeted of the weather

167
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:52,560
along the south coast of the sunshine of

168
00:06:59,749 --> 00:06:55,120
the storms but what do you miss most

169
00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:01,110
you know this is going to sound truly

170
00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:04,080
remarkable but i most miss the rain

171
00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:05,360
and i think perhaps because that's

172
00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:07,039
because i haven't had a shower for six

173
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:09,759
months but uh the the feeling of of nice

174
00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:11,520
cold drizzle on my face right now

175
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:14,080
actually sounds blissful uh which most

176
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:15,520
people in the uk would probably find

177
00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:24,550
this is joe durham from bbc radio

178
00:07:31,830 --> 00:07:25,840
gloucestershire what are you looking

179
00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:33,909
well uh it stands with that reason that

180
00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:35,199
the thing i'm looking forward to most is

181
00:07:40,309 --> 00:07:37,759
seeing my family again um but apart from

182
00:07:42,550 --> 00:07:40,319
that i think it's just enjoying planet

183
00:07:45,029 --> 00:07:42,560
earth uh in terms of the outdoors i love

184
00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:45,039
the outdoors i i'm cycling hiking

185

can get and uh having lived now in the

187
00:07:53,589 --> 00:07:51,520
space station which is an incredible

188
00:07:55,749 --> 00:07:53,599
place to live it's truly uh you know

189
00:07:57,909 --> 00:07:55,759
groundbreaking up here what we're doing

190
00:07:59,589 --> 00:07:57,919
but having spent six months up here i'm

191
00:08:01,029 --> 00:07:59,599
really looking forward to some fresh air

192
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:01,039
and just getting outdoors and enjoying

193
00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:09,270
hi tim it's charlotte gay here from

00:08:37,589 --> 00:08:35,990
hi tim it's tim cooper here from the

202
00:08:40,310 --> 00:08:37,599
british forces broadcasting service

203
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:40,320
forces tv you've been in space what are

204
00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:41,680
you planning to do now are you thinking

205
00:08:45,269 --> 00:08:43,440
of reinvigorating your reserve career

206
00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:45,279
with the british army reserves and do

207
00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:46,959
you hope to inspire other soldiers

208
00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:48,320
sailors and airmen to ditch their

209
00:08:58,389 --> 00:08:56,150
well now of course i'm a full-time

210
00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:58,399
employee of the european space agency

211
00:09:02,870 --> 00:09:00,000
and that's exactly what i'll go back and

212
00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:02,880
do is is to continue to represent the uk

213
00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:05,600
as a british astronaut within isa um and

214
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:07,120
there's an awful lot going on back at

215
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:08,640
the european space agency at the moment

216
00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:10,800
just my my class of shenanigans the

217
00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:13,839
class of 2009 um already alex gerst has

218
00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:16,480
been reassigned to a mission in 2019

219
00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:17,920
he'll be back on the space station for

220
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:20,000
the second time the space station has a

221
00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:22,240
life out to a 2024 maybe even a bit

222
00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:24,080
beyond that and we're already very

223
00:09:28,389 --> 00:09:25,920
actively looking at future missions to

224
00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:28,399
the moon a stepping stone onto mars and

225
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:30,240
so there's an awful lot of work to be

226
00:09:33,829 --> 00:09:32,320
done back in the european space agency

227
00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:33,839
and sorry i missed the second part of

228
00:09:45,030 --> 00:09:42,790
just came to know tim if you'd like to

229
00:09:49,750 --> 00:09:45,040
inspire other forces personnel to do

230
00:09:53,430 --> 00:09:51,670
absolutely i mean i think that what

231
00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:53,440
we're doing is very important we've got

232
00:09:57,670 --> 00:09:55,600
some um very difficult and challenging

233
00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:57,680
missions coming up in the future and the

234
00:10:02,389 --> 00:10:00,000
space sector needs as many talented uh

235
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:02,399
professional people as as it can so it's

236
00:10:06,230 --> 00:10:04,480
certainly a route that i would encourage

237
00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:06,240
people to follow from whether they come

238
00:10:12,790 --> 00:10:07,760
from a military background or any

239
00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:14,790
hi tim it's john oldham here from radio

240
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:17,040
winston uh let me just ask you tim

241
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:19,040
you've had this exciting six months

242
00:10:27,269 --> 00:10:20,480
you're not gonna come down to the ground

243
00:10:31,509 --> 00:10:29,110
no i don't think so uh there's gonna be

244
00:10:34,389 --> 00:10:31,519
an awful lot to do certainly over the

245
00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:34,399
next year in terms of uh debriefing and

246
00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:36,000
of course the medical tests so much of

247
00:10:39,030 --> 00:10:37,200
the experiments and the science that

248
00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:39,040
we've done up here is actually on my own

249
00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:40,880
body so those experiments will continue

250
00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:42,880
for the next year and as i've mentioned

251
00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:45,040
we've got a very active program of human

252
00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:46,640
space flight within european space

253
00:10:50,389 --> 00:10:48,640
agencies so the important thing is to

254
00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:50,399
try and use the information that i've

255
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:52,560
gained during this six-month mission uh

256
00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:54,240
in terms of improving how we do

257
00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:56,240
operations on board the space station

258
00:11:04,310 --> 00:10:57,519
and looking forward to how we can

259
00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:06,389
ken hi it's dallas again um i just have

260
00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:08,240
a quick question

261
00:11:12,550 --> 00:11:10,079
i was there for your launch way back in

262
00:11:14,310 --> 00:11:12,560
december and time has gone extremely

263
00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:14,320
quickly i still have a bag of laundry

264
00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:17,040
which i haven't unpacked from baikonur

265
00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:18,560
and uh when i realized that you were

266
00:11:26,069 --> 00:11:20,560
coming back it can't be six months

267
00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:28,550
you know yes time is a funny thing and

268
00:11:33,829 --> 00:11:31,519
uh it has gone very quickly um but then

269
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:33,839
again sometimes when i think back to uh

270
00:11:38,389 --> 00:11:36,480
for example when tim tim copra and scott

271
00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:38,399
kelly did that first space walk and that

272
00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:40,720
was only six days into the mission that

273
00:11:45,110 --> 00:11:42,959
does seem like a long time ago when i

274
00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:45,120
think i i celebrated christmas and new

275
00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:47,040
year up here on board the space station

276
00:11:50,629 --> 00:11:49,200
again it feels like a long time um and

277
00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:50,639
i've just been fortunate really that

278
00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:52,639
we've had so many exciting and

279
00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:54,240
interesting events during this six-month

280
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:55,760
mission and they've been nicely paced

281
00:11:59,110 --> 00:11:57,519
out so throughout the mission there's

282
00:12:00,949 --> 00:11:59,120
always been something really good to

283
00:12:02,629 --> 00:12:00,959
look forward to and that's really life

284
00:12:04,069 --> 00:12:02,639
on board the space station

285
00:12:09,190 --> 00:12:04,079
it's an incredibly exciting place to

286
00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:10,790
talking of christmas this is dallas

287
00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:13,120
still here i have a christmas question

288
00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:15,600
for you from uh somebody from uh from

289
00:12:20,069 --> 00:12:17,360
the school if you just want to introduce

290
00:12:21,750 --> 00:12:20,079
yourself and say your question to tim

291
00:12:27,509 --> 00:12:21,760
hi this is amazing and i'd like to know

292
00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:29,269
hi maisie well i think the greatest

293
00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:31,440
present i got for christmas was finding

294
00:12:34,949 --> 00:12:33,120
out that i was going to do a space walk

295
00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:34,959
and really i don't think you can top

296
00:12:36,949 --> 00:12:35,920
that

297
00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:36,959
but

298
00:12:40,470 --> 00:12:38,720
my next big present this year of course

299
00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:40,480
is going to be hopefully getting back

300
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:42,560
safely a week on saturday and seeing my

301
00:12:55,990 --> 00:12:53,430
hi my name is roxy and what advice would

302
00:13:01,430 --> 00:12:56,000
you give to someone like me to become an

303
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:03,030
i'm sorry i didn't quite get that

304
00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:04,560
question i i understood it was something

305
00:13:15,350 --> 00:13:13,430
yes because dallas here the question was

306
00:13:20,389 --> 00:13:15,360
any advice for somebody who would like

307
00:13:23,590 --> 00:13:22,230
well do you know i mean the the you've

308
00:13:25,509 --> 00:13:23,600
obviously got an interest in uh

309
00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:25,519
astronomy and the first thing is is just

310
00:13:30,389 --> 00:13:27,680
to do what i'm sure you're doing and

311
00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:30,399
enjoying as a hobby um and looking up at

312
00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:32,880
the stars um of trying to find great

313
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:34,399
places to go and view the stars where

314
00:13:38,790 --> 00:13:36,720
there isn't too much light pollution

315
00:13:40,230 --> 00:13:38,800
and just recording and documenting what

316
00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:40,240
you're doing enjoying that and if you're

317
00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:41,680
passionate about things you'll tend to

318
00:13:45,910 --> 00:13:43,120
be very good at them and that's

319
00:13:47,829 --> 00:13:45,920
certainly something that i enjoyed as a

320
00:13:50,069 --> 00:13:47,839
youngster as well was a little bit of an

321
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:50,079
astronomy and also aviation they were

322
00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:52,160
two things i was very interested in and

323
00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:54,320
uh and so i would just encourage anybody

324
00:13:57,829 --> 00:13:56,240
who's interested in that to really

325
00:14:03,590 --> 00:13:57,839
continue what you're good at and be

326
00:14:07,269 --> 00:14:05,110
hello again tim it's phil mackey again

327
00:14:08,870 --> 00:14:07,279
from radio 5 live i just wondered what

328
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:08,880
you've learned about yourself while

329
00:14:19,269 --> 00:14:16,069
um that's a good question i haven't

330
00:14:21,189 --> 00:14:19,279
really reflected on that too much and uh

331
00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:21,199
i don't really think that i i have

332
00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:23,440
probably learned an awful lot about

333
00:14:27,509 --> 00:14:25,760
myself that stands out uh maybe when i

334
00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:27,519
come back down and i'll reflect on this

335
00:14:30,710 --> 00:14:29,040
mission i'll have time to think about

336
00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:30,720
everything that's gone on

337
00:14:34,069 --> 00:14:32,480
i'll be able to kind of answer that a

338
00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:34,079
bit more fully but

339
00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:36,160
we're honestly so busy up here we just

340
00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:38,800
take every day as it comes

341
00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:40,160
obviously we're working in a quite a

342
00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:41,920
high pressure environment a stressful

343
00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:43,360
environment but then that's something i

344
00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:45,680
was used to anyway in the military spent

345
00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:48,480
16 years as a military pilot

346
00:14:52,389 --> 00:14:50,880
and so i think after a career such as

347
00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:52,399
that it's hard to learn think new things

348
00:15:01,829 --> 00:14:59,829
hi tim this is tom whipple from the

349
00:15:07,350 --> 00:15:01,839
times again um what are your views on

350
00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:09,430
well you know my views on brexit are

351
00:15:13,269 --> 00:15:11,440
personal views and uh you know i don't

352
00:15:15,670 --> 00:15:13,279
feel the need to impart them on anybody

353
00:15:17,430 --> 00:15:15,680
else but uh as well i'd like to say in

354
00:15:19,509 --> 00:15:17,440
terms of cooperation and partnership of

355
00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:19,519
course is just the fact that i'm i'm

356
00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:22,240
here floating in the most incredible

357
00:15:25,910 --> 00:15:24,480
achievement of uh not just european

358
00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:25,920
cooperation but international

359
00:15:30,310 --> 00:15:28,000
cooperation and this space station would

360
00:15:32,069 --> 00:15:30,320
not exist if it wasn't for all of the

361
00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:32,079
international partners and what they

362
00:15:36,389 --> 00:15:34,320
have managed to achieve despite their

363
00:15:38,710 --> 00:15:36,399
political differences throughout the

364
00:15:40,550 --> 00:15:38,720
years and hopefully that will continue

365
00:15:45,590 --> 00:15:40,560
into the future of space exploration as

366
00:15:49,670 --> 00:15:47,350
tim it's thomas moore from sky news

367
00:15:51,670 --> 00:15:49,680
again over the last six months almost

368
00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:51,680
every minute has been accounted for by

369
00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:54,880
the space agencies every movement

370
00:15:58,949 --> 00:15:56,800
has been closely observed by cameras on

371
00:16:01,189 --> 00:15:58,959
board the isf how much are you looking

372
00:16:02,470 --> 00:16:01,199
forward to a bit of peace and quiet it

373
00:16:07,509 --> 00:16:02,480
might have felt like you're living in a

374
00:16:10,389 --> 00:16:09,030
yes i think you've probably hit the nail

375
00:16:12,629 --> 00:16:10,399
on the head there thomas i'm certainly

376
00:16:14,710 --> 00:16:12,639
looking forward to uh just having uh

377
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:14,720
some nice time with my family some

378
00:16:18,550 --> 00:16:17,120
private time uh and some peace and quiet

379
00:16:20,550 --> 00:16:18,560
peace and quiet will probably still be

380
00:16:22,550 --> 00:16:20,560
quite hard to come by in the next couple

381
00:16:24,389 --> 00:16:22,560
of months there's so much to do in the

382
00:16:29,829 --> 00:16:24,399
post flight period but it's certainly

383
00:16:32,870 --> 00:16:31,430
ken goodwin from itv west country

384
00:16:34,790 --> 00:16:32,880
looking back over the last six months

385
00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:34,800
what's been the defining moment when you

386
00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:36,480
looked out of the window and said i've

387
00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:43,590
there was there was one moment on the

388
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:46,160
space walk when tim copper and myself

389
00:16:50,310 --> 00:16:48,240
were waiting to install an electrical

390
00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:50,320
component and we had to wait for the sun

391
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:52,000
to set because of course the sun

392
00:16:55,269 --> 00:16:53,440
striking the solar rays would have been

393
00:16:57,749 --> 00:16:55,279
dangerous for us to have changed out the

394
00:16:59,670 --> 00:16:57,759
electrical component and mission control

395
00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:59,680
in houston basically told us that we had

396
00:17:03,910 --> 00:17:01,759
about 10 minutes to hang out take

397
00:17:05,909 --> 00:17:03,920
photographs and wait for the sun to set

398
00:17:08,230 --> 00:17:05,919
and that is unheard of on a spacewalk

399
00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:08,240
where normally every minute is uh

400
00:17:12,069 --> 00:17:09,760
accounted for so

401
00:17:14,949 --> 00:17:12,079
that was truly incredible just to be

402
00:17:16,549 --> 00:17:14,959
able to uh explore you know that that

403
00:17:18,549 --> 00:17:16,559
part of the space station and look down

404
00:17:20,230 --> 00:17:18,559
on planet earth and also look behind me

405
00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:20,240
and look out into the darkness and the

406
00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:22,319
vastness of space whilst outside the

407
00:17:31,029 --> 00:17:24,400
space station i think that really is a

408
00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:34,070
uh hi my name's john and i'd like to

409
00:17:44,470 --> 00:17:41,430
hi john yeah it's really important to

410
00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:44,480
keep fit and we have three main devices

411
00:17:48,470 --> 00:17:46,240
one's a bike machine one's a running

412
00:17:50,150 --> 00:17:48,480
machine and one's a weightlifting

413
00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:50,160
machine that uses vacuum cylinders

414
00:17:54,190 --> 00:17:52,400
instead of weights and between those

415
00:17:56,549 --> 00:17:54,200
three devices we try and keep our

416
00:17:58,549 --> 00:17:56,559
cardiovascular system as healthy as

417
00:18:00,470 --> 00:17:58,559
possible and we also try and reduce the

418
00:18:02,390 --> 00:18:00,480
bone density loss and the muscle mass

419
00:18:04,390 --> 00:18:02,400
loss so we work out probably up to about

420
00:18:06,870 --> 00:18:04,400
one and a half hours to two hours every

421
00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:06,880
day to try and stop the negative effects

422
00:18:23,830 --> 00:18:16,950
um hi my name's maya could you like him

423
00:18:29,830 --> 00:18:26,630
hi maya um well the closest thing i

424
00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:29,840
think i can liken it to is scuba diving

425
00:18:33,029 --> 00:18:31,280
i don't know if you've ever tried it

426
00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:33,039
it's a lovely sport it's one i really

427
00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:34,960
enjoyed doing and i also had the

428
00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:37,520
privilege of going on a nemo mission

429
00:18:41,110 --> 00:18:39,200
which was one of nasa's exploration

430
00:18:44,470 --> 00:18:41,120
missions and living underwater for 12

431
00:18:45,990 --> 00:18:44,480
days and that's a similar an experience

432
00:18:47,909 --> 00:18:46,000
as living on board the international

433
00:18:49,350 --> 00:18:47,919
space station that i can think of

434
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:49,360
actually when you're scuba diving in

435
00:18:53,669 --> 00:18:51,440
water it feels similar to being in

436
00:18:55,830 --> 00:18:53,679
microgravity as well which is why we use

437
00:19:02,549 --> 00:18:55,840
underwater swimming pools on earth in

438
00:19:06,070 --> 00:19:03,990
tim i think we're running out of time

439
00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:06,080
sadly we've got a few more seconds left

440
00:19:10,710 --> 00:19:08,960
i just wanted to say a huge thank you

441
00:19:11,830 --> 00:19:10,720
from the space dome i wish you could be

442
00:19:13,510 --> 00:19:11,840
here in the space zone because it's

443
00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:13,520
absolutely terrific it's all blacked out

444
00:19:17,510 --> 00:19:15,440
and we've got these beautiful stars

445
00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:17,520
sparkling about above us it's about 100

446
00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:19,440
degrees outside we're all sweating and

447
00:19:23,110 --> 00:19:21,919
baking in here but um hopefully next

448
00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:23,120
year you might be able to come here in

449
00:19:27,190 --> 00:19:24,880
person that would be lovely to actually

450
00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:27,200
to get you here and and talk to you live

451
00:19:30,950 --> 00:19:29,200
if you think you've been busy

452
00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:30,960
for the last six months just wait till

453
00:19:33,909 --> 00:19:32,400
you get back to earth because i know

454
00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:33,919
there's a lot of people who who want to

455
00:19:38,230 --> 00:19:36,320
talk to you but on behalf of everyone

456
00:19:40,789 --> 00:19:38,240
here at the times cheltenham science

457
00:19:42,710 --> 00:19:40,799
festival i just want to say a huge huge

458
00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:42,720

thank you dallas and thank you to

460
00:19:54,310 --> 00:19:52,400
everybody at the cheltenham science

461
00:19:56,310 --> 00:19:54,320
festival it's been a real pleasure

462
00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:56,320
