let me tell you a little bit about them

49
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:33,520
before i get talking about our mission

50
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:36,320
if that's okay um sergey to my immediate

51
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:38,720
right is a pilot i was a pilot in the

52
00:01:45,510 --> 00:01:43,280
russian air force flew mig-29s and l-39s

53
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:45,520
in the russian air force very decorated

54
00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:48,159
of course in his military career

55
00:01:52,830 --> 00:01:50,000
he was chosen as an astronaut or

56
00:01:56,469 --> 00:01:52,840
cosmonaut candidate back in

57
00:01:59,510 --> 00:01:56,479
2006. in the class 14 for the cosmonauts

58
00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:59,520
and he finished his training around 2009

59
00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:01,119
and has been waiting for this space

60
00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:02,960
flight for a few years so he's ready to

61
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:05,600
go we're excited to see his reaction to

62
00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:07,360
microgravity the first time he gets to

63
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:08,720
experience it

64
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:11,599
to sergey's right is andre borisenko as

65
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:14,319
was mentioned a veteran space flier

66
00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:16,800
he is an engineer by trade

67
00:02:20,869 --> 00:02:18,160
he actually worked in the mission

68
00:02:22,869 --> 00:02:20,879
control center in moscow for many years

69
00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:22,879
he worked on the motion control system

70
00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:24,959
for the mir space station

71
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:26,640
and then he ended up being a flight

72
00:02:29,910 --> 00:02:28,480
director for mir and the international

73
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:29,920
space station so really unique

74
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:31,440
background

75
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:33,280
super super smart person i'm looking

76
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:35,120
forward to learning from him

77
00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:36,560
throughout our whole mission

78
00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:40,480
he did fly on expedition 27 and 28 back

79
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:42,560
in 2011.

80
00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:44,080
he started out as a flight engineer on

81
00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:45,280
that mission but then became the

82
00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:46,720
commander of the international space

83
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:48,959
station so again i look to gain his

84
00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:50,560
draw from his experience

85
00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:52,400
so we're going to add both as we enter

86
00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:54,400
our new home here in september

87
00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:56,080
our mission is slated to be about five

88
00:02:58,710 --> 00:02:57,440
months long

89
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,720
we're going to come home towards the end

90
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:00,720
of february is the plan right now we

91
00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:02,560
have a busy five months as you might

92
00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:03,840
imagine

93
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:05,120
as soon as we get there it's going to

94
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:07,360
get really busy because a japanese

95
00:03:12,149 --> 00:03:09,200
vehicle is going to show up a really big

96
00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:12,159
resupply vehicle called htv will show up

97
00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:14,959
about a week or so after we arrive

98
00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:17,200
and in that has a lot of science and

99
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:19,360
research of course but also has a lot of

100
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:20,800
things that we're going to be dealing

101
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:22,959
with during our spacewalks

102
00:03:27,990 --> 00:03:25,440
right now the plan is for takuya onishi

103
00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:28,000
the japanese astronaut and myself to go

104
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:28,959
outside

105
00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:31,040
and do two spacewalks

106
00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:32,799
to replace batteries on the outside of

107
00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:34,959
the space station so those big batteries

108
00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:37,120
are actually inside the the japanese

109
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:38,480
vehicle that's coming up so we look

110
00:03:41,509 --> 00:03:40,000
forward to getting them out and getting

111
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:41,519
them ready to go

112
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:43,360
for our spacewalks

113
00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:45,440
as the plan stands right now

114
00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:48,239
takuya anatoly and

115
00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:49,680
kate are supposed to come home towards

116
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:51,280
the end of october so after we finish

117
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:53,280
our spacewalks we'll be busy getting

118
00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:56,000
them ready to depart the space station

119
00:03:59,910 --> 00:03:57,519
and getting them back on their way back

120
00:04:01,509 --> 00:03:59,920
to earth and then we'll be alone for

121
00:04:03,670 --> 00:04:01,519
anywhere from up to one or two weeks the

122
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:03,680
three of us will be on the space station

123
00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:05,920
um until the next crew arrives which

124
00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:08,959
will be peggy whitson tomorrow pesquet

125
00:04:12,229 --> 00:04:10,400
and oleg novitskiy so we're looking

126
00:04:13,509 --> 00:04:12,239
forward to that as well so once november

127
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:13,519
december time frame hits we're going to

128
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:16,320
be doing a lot of science and research

129
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:18,880
as well into the new year in january and

130
00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:20,560
february kind of starts winding things

131
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:22,720
down for us as we get ready to head back

132
00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:23,680
home

133
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:24,800
during our five months we're going to

134
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:26,479
have several visiting vehicles so

135
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:29,040
vehicles that only carry equipment or

136
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:30,240
cargo

137
00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:32,240
visit visit us while we're there we're

138
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,000
going to have several u.s vehicles the

139
00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:36,479
japanese vehicle i mentioned earlier

140
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:38,560
and you know those launches are all

141
00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:40,160
always up in the air but we look forward

142
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:42,560
to all those vehicles arriving and us

143
00:04:46,150 --> 00:04:44,080
then grabbing most of those sticking

144
00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:46,160
them on the space station and it's kind

145
00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:47,680
of like christmas every time one shows

146
00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:49,360
up because there's a bunch of fresh food

147
00:04:53,030 --> 00:04:51,199
and new clothes and

148
00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:53,040
new equipment for us to work on so we're

149
00:04:56,710 --> 00:04:55,440
really excited about our mission

150
00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:56,720
fantastic

151
00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:58,320
we'll now take some questions from the

152
00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:00,080
audience we'll start with the media here

153
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:02,240
at johnson space center then we'll go to

154
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:04,320
the other nasa centers reporters on the

155
00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:06,160
phone bridge and then we'll take some

156
00:05:10,150 --> 00:05:08,000
questions from social media

157
00:05:11,590 --> 00:05:10,160
we also have a some guests in the

158
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:11,600
audience today from the boys and girls

159
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:13,280
club of greater houston so we'll take

160
00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:16,080
some questions from them too

161
00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:18,000
if you have a question for social media

162
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:21,520
please use the hashtag asknasa

163
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:22,800
and if you are on the phone bridge if

164
00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:24,240
you have a question please remember to

165
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:25,680
press star 1

166
00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:28,400
and press star 2 if your question has

167
00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:29,520
already been asked and you need to

168
00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:31,520
withdraw it so with that any questions

169
00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:33,919
from here yes mark

170
00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:40,710
this is for shane kimbrough i believe

171
00:05:45,749 --> 00:05:43,039
these batteries go on p6 the oldest of

172
00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:45,759
the solar power modules if i'm right

173
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:47,759
if that's correct can you talk about

174
00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:50,000
some of the challenges of i guess you're

175
00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:51,919
going to take all of mob and replace all

176
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:52,960
of them

177
00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:56,240
it sounds like a big toy yeah so

178
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:57,759
really it comes down to it's a shell

179
00:06:00,950 --> 00:05:59,600
game we have a lot of big boxes that

180
00:06:03,670 --> 00:06:00,960
we're having to move around and then

181
00:06:05,590 --> 00:06:03,680
replace them with newer smaller boxes so

182
00:06:07,749 --> 00:06:05,600
technology just like here on earth has

183
00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:07,759
gotten things a lot smaller so

184
00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:09,759
really about the size of two batteries

185
00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:11,360
the old batteries will now be replaced

186
00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:13,039
with just one of those

187
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:14,560
so we're going to have some empty space

188
00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:16,319
so to speak and in those spaces we're

189
00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:17,600
going to put things called adapter

190
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:19,600
plates and then these new batteries on

191
00:06:22,469 --> 00:06:20,880
top so

192
00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:22,479
it just comes down to a shell game it's

193
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:24,880
very choreographed uh we've been

194
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:26,800
practicing this in the nbl in the pool

195
00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:29,120
for for the last year now not just our

196
00:06:33,189 --> 00:06:31,360
crew but other other crews as well so

197
00:06:35,029 --> 00:06:33,199
we're really making sure the procedures

198
00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:35,039
are well thought out and the team that's

199
00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:36,880
working on that pretty much has it all

200
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:43,350
i'm also interested in what

201
00:06:46,550 --> 00:06:44,880
what

202
00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:46,560
your expedition

203
00:06:51,189 --> 00:06:48,880
would be or might be prepared to do in

204
00:06:53,189 --> 00:06:51,199
terms of of advancing the commercial

205
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:53,199
crew

206
00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:55,840
objectives either with eba or

207
00:06:59,589 --> 00:06:57,599
inside activity

208
00:07:01,029 --> 00:06:59,599
a good question mark

209
00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:01,039
prior to us getting there if everything

210
00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:03,520
goes well the crew in front of us will

211
00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:04,720
install the international docking

212
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:07,280
adapter the ida on the very front of the

213
00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:09,440
space station that'll obviously allow

214
00:07:12,870 --> 00:07:11,199
commercial vehicles to dock there

215
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:12,880
that'll be a huge thing

216
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:14,319
along with that is you know routing

217
00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:16,800
cables and connecting things that kate

218
00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:18,400
and jeff williams are scheduled to do

219
00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:20,240
right now

220
00:07:25,350 --> 00:07:23,840
so hopefully that'll all be done if not

221
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:25,360
then that potentially could be something

222
00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:26,880
that our crews would go out and do as

223
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:29,360
well so that could be either me and kate

224
00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:33,280
or me and tokuyo or kaden tokuya so

225
00:07:36,309 --> 00:07:34,639
that's certainly a big help to the

226
00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:36,319
station for commercial crew

227
00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:38,080
we have a lot of research of course that

228
00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:39,280
we're doing that's going to advance

229
00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:41,360
commercial crew as well as

230
00:07:44,869 --> 00:07:42,880
the further exploration of the solar

231
00:07:47,909 --> 00:07:44,879
system down the road so we're excited

232
00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:47,919
about those kind of things of course

233
00:07:53,749 --> 00:07:48,879
robert

234
00:07:56,469 --> 00:07:53,759
regarding yesterday's launch

235
00:07:59,670 --> 00:07:56,479
uh how closely are

236
00:08:01,110 --> 00:07:59,680
or how dependent of a smooth flight of

237
00:08:01,909 --> 00:08:01,120
mso1

238
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:01,919
um

239
00:08:07,270 --> 00:08:05,360
affects your flight of mso2 uh

240
00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:07,280
is there any chance that uh the i

241
00:08:11,029 --> 00:08:08,960
believe you're planning for a two-day

242
00:08:14,150 --> 00:08:11,039
rendezvous would that be shortened to

243
00:08:16,150 --> 00:08:14,160
the 34 to the four but if this flight

244
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:16,160
goes completely

245
00:08:19,029 --> 00:08:18,160
uh i think the answer is unfortunately

246
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:19,039
no

247
00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:24,080
planned for 34 orbit because we actually

248
00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:25,360
have test objectives we're going to meet

249
00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:27,039
during those couple days

250
00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:29,280
before we get to the space station

251
00:08:34,949 --> 00:08:31,039
and we're not doing specifically the

252
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:34,959
same test that ms-1 is doing now so

253
00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:36,560
they're different test objectives that

254
00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:37,760
the engineers and scientists on the

255
00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:39,680
ground in russia want to see

256
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:41,760
so we'll have a different profile some

257
00:08:44,470 --> 00:08:42,880
of the tests will be similar but in

258
00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:44,480
general they're different profiles that

259
00:08:47,910 --> 00:08:46,000
we're going to to do and during those

260
00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:47,920
two days to make sure that that vehicle

261
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:49,360
gets really

262
00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:51,040
you know tested like it should before we

263
00:08:55,750 --> 00:08:53,600
start this four orbit rendezvous

264
00:08:58,150 --> 00:08:55,760
if i can ask a follow-up

265
00:09:00,870 --> 00:08:58,160
given the new satellite relay system

266
00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:00,880
does that allow for any type of

267
00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:02,720
live broadcast from the soyuz itself

268
00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:04,480
during that two-day rendezvous that's a

269
00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:06,000
good question i'm not sure the answer to

270
00:09:09,269 --> 00:09:07,279
that i may have to defer to the

271
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:09,279
cosmonauts um i know it's going to be a

272
00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:10,800
nice capability i don't think we have

273
00:09:14,949 --> 00:09:12,880
all the the things in place to make that

274
00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:14,959
happen now but it would be great if we

275
00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:16,880
could have some telemetry and live video

276
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:25,750
yes so usms include a new

277
00:09:30,790 --> 00:09:29,760
tv system digital and it

278
00:09:33,350 --> 00:09:30,800
allows

279
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:34,790
get

280
00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:37,600
according cover satellite coverage

281
00:09:45,269 --> 00:09:39,600
uh data from

282
00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:46,630
haley do we have any social media

283
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:49,360
questions yeah um we have one from ben

284
00:09:54,550 --> 00:09:52,080
evans on twitter and he is wondering how

285
00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:54,560
does the training of an iss commander

286
00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:56,320
differ from the training of a flight

287
00:10:00,870 --> 00:09:58,640
engineer um are there any additional

288
00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:00,880
tasks that a commander transport

289
00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:03,040
uh yeah good question in general it's

290
00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:05,200
the same training depending um when

291
00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:06,640
we're in the soyuz it's different i

292
00:10:10,150 --> 00:10:08,160
think he's talking about space station

293
00:10:11,829 --> 00:10:10,160
so on the space station we do have a

294
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:11,839
little bit of a different commander flow

295
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:13,360
i think in russia when i go over there i

296
00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:16,560
get an extra 10 or 12 hours of specific

297
00:10:20,389 --> 00:10:18,320
commander training that i wouldn't have

298
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:20,399
gotten if i was a flight engineer

299
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:21,839
here in the u.s it's i don't know what

300
00:10:26,069 --> 00:10:23,760
the hour number is but there's kind of a

301
00:10:28,069 --> 00:10:26,079
small delta i guess of ours that i'll

302
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:28,079
get here because i'm the commander

303
00:10:35,829 --> 00:10:33,990
we happen to have another one yeah um so

304
00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:35,839
we have another one from mariana on

305
00:10:40,710 --> 00:10:38,160
twitter and she is wondering do you plan

306
00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:40,720
to take any photographs to share with us

307
00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:42,560
i would love to see some auroras and

308
00:10:46,069 --> 00:10:44,160
storms

309
00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:46,079
well of course um i think taking

310
00:10:49,990 --> 00:10:48,160
pictures becomes our natural hobby up

311
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:50,000
there and our downtime

312
00:10:53,190 --> 00:10:51,760
and i look forward to sharing those and

313
00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:53,200
hopefully you'll follow us on social

314
00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:56,480
media and be able to follow my accounts

315
00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:58,480
and get to see some some pictures i know

316
00:11:02,150 --> 00:10:59,839
some folks have sent some really nice

317
00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:02,160
things down i will self admit i'm not

318
00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:04,000
the greatest photographer so hopefully

319
00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:06,240
i'll step up my game and be able to send

320
00:11:10,230 --> 00:11:08,240
some beautiful shots of auroras like you

321
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:10,240
mentioned and maybe storms and other

322
00:11:15,269 --> 00:11:13,760
things that the earth is experiencing

323
00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:15,279
is there anything in particular anyone

324
00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:16,800
you guys wants to take pictures of while

325
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:24,150
houston

326
00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:26,880
good answer

327
00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:29,760
yeah anything sergey

328
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:31,519
a lot of things

329
00:11:35,670 --> 00:11:32,720
i still

330
00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:35,680
doesn't finish a whole list of my

331
00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:40,710
yeah i want to take pictures of

332
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:42,880
certainly places i've lived and maybe

333
00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:44,480
universities or schools i've been

334
00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:46,079
involved with

335
00:11:48,949 --> 00:11:47,440
i'm going to do something unique and try

336
00:11:50,629 --> 00:11:48,959
to take a bunch of pictures of golf

337
00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:50,639
courses around the world because i don't

338
00:11:52,550 --> 00:11:51,760
think that's something anybody's done

339
00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:52,560
before

340
00:12:01,750 --> 00:12:00,389
yes ma'am hi sophie sanchez with uh

341
00:12:03,269 --> 00:12:01,760
chicago

342
00:12:05,910 --> 00:12:03,279
i made a question for shane there's a

343
00:12:07,829 --> 00:12:05,920
lot of resident student-based programs

344
00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:07,839
uh happening right now on the iss we

345
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:09,120
have several students here today is

346
00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:10,480
there any program

347
00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:12,000
specifically that you're looking forward

348
00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:13,600
to communicating with students here on

349
00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:15,040
earth

350
00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:16,240
i know there's a handful maybe that

351
00:12:19,430 --> 00:12:17,680
we'll get to do that with and i'm not

352
00:12:21,350 --> 00:12:19,440
sure which ones they are except for one

353
00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:21,360
called spheres i know that's something

354
00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:23,600
that has been used almost every year the

355
00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:25,760
last several years with students on the

356
00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:27,600
ground and they actually are controlling

357
00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:28,880
them so it's going to be really neat to

358
00:12:31,269 --> 00:12:30,000
interact with them and see their

359
00:12:32,550 --> 00:12:31,279
excitement

360
00:12:35,110 --> 00:12:32,560
i know there's a handful of others

361
00:12:36,389 --> 00:12:35,120
that'll involve students as well all of

362
00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:36,399
those are going to be really exciting

363
00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:38,399
for me i love working with students

364
00:12:43,269 --> 00:12:40,639
i used to be a former professor and

365
00:12:45,350 --> 00:12:43,279
teacher so i really enjoy seeing them

366
00:12:49,670 --> 00:12:45,360
get excited about in this case math and

367
00:12:52,550 --> 00:12:51,190
speaking of students we have a few in

368
00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:52,560
the audience do any of you guys have any

369
00:12:55,269 --> 00:12:54,160
questions

370
00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:55,279
yes sir

371
00:12:59,269 --> 00:12:57,200
one or two for you guys

372
00:13:01,590 --> 00:12:59,279
can you tell the climate change of earth

373
00:13:03,269 --> 00:13:01,600
from space

374
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:03,279
can you tell the climate change of earth

375
00:13:07,430 --> 00:13:05,920
from space so while we're in space

376
00:13:09,190 --> 00:13:07,440
we're kind of in an environment like

377
00:13:11,030 --> 00:13:09,200
you're sitting in right now so we're on

378
00:13:13,030 --> 00:13:11,040
the space station it's kind of a closed

379
00:13:14,550 --> 00:13:13,040
environment it's it's controlled with

380
00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:14,560
air conditioning just like we are in

381
00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:16,800
this room so in that sense you don't

382
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:19,200
feel it at all you know if you really

383
00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:20,560
went outside

384
00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:22,079
you'd see a big change so when we go out

385
00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:23,920
for spacewalks you actually do sense

386
00:13:28,150 --> 00:13:25,920
some of these uh the big climate

387
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:28,160
differences in space and earth

388
00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:30,320
when you go outside to do a spacewalk or

389
00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:32,480
if in general when you if anybody went

390
00:13:35,910 --> 00:13:34,800
outside it's about 200 degrees when the

391
00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:35,920
sun's out

392
00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:37,680
and it's about minus 200 when the sun

393
00:13:41,110 --> 00:13:39,440
goes away so

394
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:41,120
really big temperature differences which

395
00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:43,040
we don't experience you know that range

396
00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:45,279
of temperatures on earth so that's one

397
00:13:47,829 --> 00:13:46,560
thing of course there's no air to

398
00:13:49,430 --> 00:13:47,839
breathe up there if you went outside

399
00:13:50,710 --> 00:13:49,440
without your spacesuit on so that's a

400
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:50,720
huge difference

401
00:13:56,550 --> 00:13:53,839
like humans cannot survive in in the

402
00:13:57,990 --> 00:13:56,560
environment of space without protection

403
00:13:59,670 --> 00:13:58,000
unlike here on earth we're lucky enough

404
00:14:01,430 --> 00:13:59,680
we can walk around and we have air to

405
00:14:02,949 --> 00:14:01,440
breathe and we can survive so there's

406
00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:02,959
those are some of the differences i

407
00:14:05,430 --> 00:14:04,160
guess hopefully that answered your

408
00:14:07,269 --> 00:14:05,440
question

409
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:07,279
thank you

410
00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:10,160
young lady all the way in the back

411
00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:12,240
sorry gentlemen all the way in the back

412
00:14:17,269 --> 00:14:15,920
yes does building in space make me dizzy

413
00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:17,279
does floating make you dizzy is that

414
00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:18,959
what yes floating in space make you

415
00:14:22,230 --> 00:14:20,880
dizzy no it's just the coolest thing in

416
00:14:25,110 --> 00:14:22,240
the world you you would love it

417
00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:25,120
everybody loves it flying around is

418
00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:26,800
something i think most of us dreamed of

419
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:28,399
since we were younger than you than you

420
00:14:32,790 --> 00:14:30,880
folks that are here and getting to do it

421
00:14:35,829 --> 00:14:32,800
for real and and really not being in

422
00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:35,839
control is kind of interesting at first

423
00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:37,360
and then you really learn how to fly

424
00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:40,160
around and be efficient and not break

425
00:14:43,910 --> 00:14:42,160
things and not run into things

426
00:14:45,509 --> 00:14:43,920
so that's kind of fun and it'll be neat

427
00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:45,519
watching sergey for the first time

428
00:14:47,910 --> 00:14:46,880
learning how to fly

429
00:14:49,509 --> 00:14:47,920
and uh

430
00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:49,519
andre and i could be laughing at them

431
00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:51,760
now it'll take us a few days to get back

432
00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:54,000
into flying mode as well but in general

433
00:14:57,189 --> 00:14:55,680
it doesn't make you dizzy you may have

434
00:14:58,629 --> 00:14:57,199
seen astronauts before do a bunch of

435
00:15:00,790 --> 00:14:58,639
somersaults

436
00:15:02,790 --> 00:15:00,800
on tv or something and if you do a lot

437
00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:02,800
of those yeah you can make yourself

438
00:15:06,069 --> 00:15:04,079
dizzy but in general just floating

439
00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:06,079
around is not

440
00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:07,120
so we're going to get to watch you guys

441
00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:08,320
do a lot of those and make yourselves

442
00:15:14,310 --> 00:15:12,320
dizzy yeah we'll try we'll see

443
00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:14,320
any other questions from you guys

444
00:15:18,230 --> 00:15:16,800
yes ma'am right here in the blue glasses

445
00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:18,240
if you could stand up when you ask a

446
00:15:22,150 --> 00:15:20,160
question that would be easier for us to

447
00:15:24,389 --> 00:15:22,160
hear what are the qualifications to be

448
00:15:26,949 --> 00:15:24,399
an astronaut what are the qualifications

449
00:15:28,069 --> 00:15:26,959
to be an astronaut wow good question

450
00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:28,079
we're actually having an astronaut

451
00:15:32,310 --> 00:15:29,920
selection right now so it's somewhat

452
00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:32,320
fresh in everybody's mind around here

453
00:15:36,550 --> 00:15:34,240
there are several basic qualifications

454
00:15:38,150 --> 00:15:36,560
and mainly including education that you

455
00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:38,160
need you need a background in math

456
00:15:41,910 --> 00:15:40,160
science or engineering

457
00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:41,920
and that's a

458
00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:44,079
an undergraduate degree is kind of the

459
00:15:47,509 --> 00:15:45,680
baseline of course if you have a

460
00:15:49,829 --> 00:15:47,519
graduate degree in one of those fields

461
00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:49,839
it only helps your application so most

462
00:15:54,550 --> 00:15:52,240
folks these days have a master's degree

463
00:15:56,949 --> 00:15:54,560
or a phd or a doctorate degree

464
00:15:58,550 --> 00:15:56,959
in a math science or engineering field

465
00:16:00,230 --> 00:15:58,560
they also look for people with unique

466
00:16:02,150 --> 00:16:00,240
backgrounds

467
00:16:04,710 --> 00:16:02,160
whether that's scientists or military

468
00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:04,720
officers or pilots or people maybe that

469
00:16:07,749 --> 00:16:06,160
jumped out of airplanes or climb

470
00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:07,759
mountains and those kind of unique

471
00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:10,000
things that a lot of people don't do and

472
00:16:13,430 --> 00:16:11,440
i think what they're kind of looking for

473
00:16:15,670 --> 00:16:13,440
there maybe is just people that can

474
00:16:17,269 --> 00:16:15,680
operate in kind of really strange

475
00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:17,279
environments and environments that that

476
00:16:21,350 --> 00:16:19,120
you don't have a whole lot of things

477
00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:21,360
like here on earth we're pretty blessed

478
00:16:25,269 --> 00:16:23,519
in general with with

479
00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:25,279
some pretty nice stuff so if you can

480
00:16:28,790 --> 00:16:27,120
find someone that can live kind of

481
00:16:30,069 --> 00:16:28,800
without all that stuff that's one of the

482
00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:30,079
traits i think they look for in

483
00:16:34,150 --> 00:16:32,320
astronauts

484
00:16:37,269 --> 00:16:34,160
and we have a call on the phone bridge

485
00:16:43,110 --> 00:16:37,279
sarah lewin

486
00:16:45,350 --> 00:16:43,120
was curious uh

487
00:16:47,189 --> 00:16:45,360
sorry i'm hearing a little feedback um i

488
00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:47,199
was curious whether you could describe

489
00:16:51,829 --> 00:16:48,880
how the three of you work together as a

490
00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:51,839
team thanks sarah good question we've

491
00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:53,759
been training now for a little over two

492
00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:55,680
years together

493
00:16:59,350 --> 00:16:57,440
i think i took my first trip to russia

494
00:17:01,030 --> 00:16:59,360
about two years ago

495
00:17:02,870 --> 00:17:01,040
and they started coming over to the us

496
00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:02,880
shortly after that

497
00:17:06,069 --> 00:17:04,559
so we've obviously grown over these last

498
00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:06,079
couple years we didn't know each other

499
00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:08,000
or i didn't know them at all previously

500
00:17:10,870 --> 00:17:09,600
um i'm sure they knew each other but i

501
00:17:13,429 --> 00:17:10,880
didn't know them

502
00:17:15,110 --> 00:17:13,439
and so really our first training session

503
00:17:16,630 --> 00:17:15,120
together i met them

504
00:17:17,669 --> 00:17:16,640
one day and three or four days later

505
00:17:20,069 --> 00:17:17,679
they threw us out in the middle of the

506
00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:20,079
woods for winter survival training

507
00:17:24,230 --> 00:17:21,839
in the middle of russia so

508
00:17:26,870 --> 00:17:24,240
it was you know eight feet deep deep of

509
00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:26,880
snow and freezing cold and

510
00:17:29,909 --> 00:17:28,480
we survived for three or four days

511
00:17:31,590 --> 00:17:29,919
together and that's how we got to know

512
00:17:33,110 --> 00:17:31,600
each other initially

513
00:17:34,789 --> 00:17:33,120
so we needed some skills we needed to

514
00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:34,799
learn how to use teamwork uh

515
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:36,400
communication

516
00:17:39,430 --> 00:17:38,000
and all those things which transfer over

517
00:17:40,630 --> 00:17:39,440
obviously to making a good crew for

518
00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:40,640
space flight and that's why we do

519
00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:42,240
training like that

520
00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:44,320
then we eventually got into the soyuz

521
00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:46,000
and started training together as a crew

522
00:17:49,190 --> 00:17:47,120
in the vehicle

523
00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:49,200
the russian vehicle which is

524
00:17:53,350 --> 00:17:51,360
which was really great training for me

525
00:17:54,950 --> 00:17:53,360
and our crew together just to to see how

526
00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:54,960
each other works and and trying to

527
00:18:00,390 --> 00:17:57,120
figure out everybody's responsibilities

528
00:18:01,750 --> 00:18:00,400
and roles before we take off for space

529
00:18:04,070 --> 00:18:01,760
what else have we done we've done water

530
00:18:06,549 --> 00:18:04,080
survival training together as well

531
00:18:07,590 --> 00:18:06,559
last summer we did that in russia

532
00:18:09,909 --> 00:18:07,600
where they throw you out in the middle

533
00:18:11,350 --> 00:18:09,919
of a lake and a capsule and you kind of

534
00:18:13,029 --> 00:18:11,360
survive and

535
00:18:14,630 --> 00:18:13,039
see if you can use all the equipment and

536
00:18:16,549 --> 00:18:14,640
get out safely so we learned how to do

537
00:18:18,390 --> 00:18:16,559
that in case we actually land in the

538
00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:18,400
water which which doesn't happen very

539
00:18:22,230 --> 00:18:20,400
often thank goodness but uh

540
00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:22,240
if so we'll be ready to go but in

541
00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:24,400
general i think our crew is we're really

542
00:18:29,190 --> 00:18:26,960
coming together we had our we had final

543
00:18:31,190 --> 00:18:29,200
exams as a backup crew in in february

544
00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:31,200
and march and i think at that point we

545
00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:33,120
really started coming together

546
00:18:38,470 --> 00:18:36,400
um as a crew i really saw it

547
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:38,480
as kind of gelling and really performing

548
00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:40,000
well and we did really well in the final

549
00:18:43,270 --> 00:18:42,000
exams and hopefully we'll do the same

550
00:18:46,789 --> 00:18:43,280
here in a few months and we go back to

551
00:18:48,789 --> 00:18:46,799
russia for our prime flow final exams

552
00:18:50,950 --> 00:18:48,799
andre what's it like been to be training

553
00:18:52,390 --> 00:18:50,960
for your second time up in space station

554
00:19:07,669 --> 00:18:52,400
what's been different what's been the

555
00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:21,029
um

556
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:22,470
of course the training was very

557
00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:23,520
different

558
00:19:27,270 --> 00:19:25,200
first of all when i was training the

559
00:19:29,909 --> 00:19:27,280
second time everything was more like a

560
00:19:31,350 --> 00:19:29,919
repeat and so it was good to have a

561
00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:31,360
refresher and everything that i learned

562
00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:47,830
on the other hand i think i have a

563
00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:49,520
better understanding than those who are

564
00:19:53,190 --> 00:19:51,760
flying for the first time to really know

565
00:19:55,669 --> 00:19:53,200
what is important

566
00:20:04,470 --> 00:19:55,679
for station and what you can just take

567
00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:07,110
special police but there is no such

568
00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:09,280
thing as extra knowledge or too much

569
00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:11,679
knowledge for a crew member the more you

570
00:20:15,029 --> 00:20:13,760
know the better you are off as a crew

571
00:20:18,870 --> 00:20:15,039
member

572
00:20:22,870 --> 00:20:20,149
any other questions from the media in

573
00:20:27,270 --> 00:20:23,990
robert

574
00:20:29,110 --> 00:20:27,280
um

575
00:20:31,750 --> 00:20:29,120
when you get up there beam will have

576
00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:31,760
been uh the bigelow expandable activity

577
00:20:36,149 --> 00:20:34,400
module will have been uh inflated and

578
00:20:38,230 --> 00:20:36,159
deployed for some time

579
00:20:41,029 --> 00:20:38,240
um has there been any further talk about

580
00:20:42,710 --> 00:20:41,039
utilization there was some hint at

581
00:20:45,669 --> 00:20:42,720
maybe some commercial utilization on

582
00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:45,679
board or what activities you might um

583
00:20:49,270 --> 00:20:47,200
how you'd interact with it or is it

584
00:20:51,110 --> 00:20:49,280
still just inspections

585
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:51,120
from what i've been trained on it's just

586
00:20:55,830 --> 00:20:53,280
inspections um so every

587
00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:55,840
five to six months we'll go inside

588
00:20:59,029 --> 00:20:57,280
get some readings from all the sensors

589
00:21:00,870 --> 00:20:59,039
inside send them down to the ground and

590
00:21:02,149 --> 00:21:00,880
then close the hatch so there's not

591
00:21:03,669 --> 00:21:02,159
going to be a whole lot of activity at

592
00:21:05,029 --> 00:21:03,679
least during our mission i think that's

593
00:21:06,789 --> 00:21:05,039
the case for the next couple of years at

594
00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:06,799
least that's the plan right now

595
00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:08,880
that could obviously change as time goes

596
00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:12,320
on but that's a plan for us

597
00:21:15,669 --> 00:21:13,760
all right i saw some other young hands

598
00:21:17,990 --> 00:21:15,679
go up who else has a question

599
00:21:19,350 --> 00:21:18,000
young lady with the blue bows

600
00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:19,360
do you want to stand up and ask a

601
00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:21,600
question thank you what are the do nots

602
00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:23,280
of space

603
00:21:31,830 --> 00:21:26,960
shouldn't you do in space shouldn't you

604
00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:33,830
obviously safety of the crew is the

605
00:21:38,390 --> 00:21:36,080
really the primary mission for all of us

606
00:21:40,070 --> 00:21:38,400
to make sure we all stay safe and so

607
00:21:42,149 --> 00:21:40,080
anything that's gonna

608
00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:42,159
to be unsafe for us whether it's an

609
00:21:44,789 --> 00:21:43,679
activity we're doing we're not doing it

610
00:21:46,549 --> 00:21:44,799
correctly

611
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:46,559
those kind of things you just really got

612
00:21:51,110 --> 00:21:49,360
to be sure that you're going to be safe

613
00:21:53,110 --> 00:21:51,120
and we can you know there's of course

614
00:21:54,549 --> 00:21:53,120
emergencies can happen just like they do

615
00:21:56,630 --> 00:21:54,559
here on earth and we've got to be ready

616
00:21:57,669 --> 00:21:56,640
to to handle those

617
00:21:58,870 --> 00:21:57,679
so we don't want to do anything that

618
00:22:01,190 --> 00:21:58,880
maybe would cause one of those

619
00:22:03,510 --> 00:22:01,200
emergencies that would be very bad

620
00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:03,520
um but in general we're trained very

621
00:22:08,310 --> 00:22:06,400
well to know the the dangers and know

622
00:22:10,870 --> 00:22:08,320
kind of what we need to do and not do

623
00:22:12,390 --> 00:22:10,880
procedures we use procedures

624
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:12,400
religiously so that we don't make

625
00:22:16,870 --> 00:22:14,960
mistakes that may cause one of these bad

626
00:22:18,549 --> 00:22:16,880
things to happen so

627
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:18,559
we want to make sure we're helping each

628
00:22:22,230 --> 00:22:20,640
other out so as a crew if you have time

629
00:22:23,750 --> 00:22:22,240
to get somebody else to help you that's

630
00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:23,760
always a benefit

631
00:22:26,950 --> 00:22:25,200
so that you're not maybe doing something

632
00:22:29,350 --> 00:22:26,960
on your own and you might skip a step in

633
00:22:30,710 --> 00:22:29,360
the procedure unintentionally but you

634
00:22:32,470 --> 00:22:30,720
still may skip it but you have somebody

635
00:22:34,710 --> 00:22:32,480
else helping you and looking at it that

636
00:22:35,990 --> 00:22:34,720
usually doesn't happen so

637
00:22:37,029 --> 00:22:36,000
i don't know how else to answer that

638
00:22:38,230 --> 00:22:37,039
question

639
00:22:40,230 --> 00:22:38,240
you don't want to you don't want to

640
00:22:42,149 --> 00:22:40,240
steal your buddy's food so that's

641
00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:42,159
probably one thing you don't want to do

642
00:22:45,909 --> 00:22:44,320
because they get mad

643
00:22:48,149 --> 00:22:45,919
but it's okay to trade lunches we can

644
00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:48,159
trade yes we'll do some good trades i'll

645
00:22:52,789 --> 00:22:50,000
get to eat some great russian food and

646
00:22:53,750 --> 00:22:52,799
we'll share our american food with them

647
00:22:55,350 --> 00:22:53,760
and that kind of thing but you don't

648
00:22:57,909 --> 00:22:55,360
want to go stealing all of their food

649
00:22:59,990 --> 00:22:57,919
because they get angry when that happens

650
00:23:02,149 --> 00:23:00,000
and i would as well so that's probably

651
00:23:04,549 --> 00:23:02,159
the biggest do not uh when you're up

652
00:23:06,390 --> 00:23:04,559
there but also is you know we're living

653
00:23:08,070 --> 00:23:06,400
in a small area in general so you just

654
00:23:09,909 --> 00:23:08,080
have to kind of maintain your own things

655
00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:09,919
don't be a don't be a slob don't have

656
00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:11,360
your stuff all over the place because it

657
00:23:15,350 --> 00:23:13,760
gets in everybody else's way

658
00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:15,360
so that's maybe good training for all of

659
00:23:18,789 --> 00:23:17,440
us here on the ground as well

660
00:23:21,029 --> 00:23:18,799
so you got to clean your room every week

661
00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:21,039
you got to clean your room every day so

662
00:23:24,789 --> 00:23:22,720
yeah

663
00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:24,799
sergey as a first time flyer what's been

664
00:23:31,430 --> 00:23:26,720
the best piece of advice you've been

665
00:23:35,350 --> 00:23:34,230
i hope my best advice is

666
00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:35,360
i'll get

667
00:23:37,909 --> 00:23:36,640
on board

668
00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:37,919
because i have

669
00:23:40,470 --> 00:23:38,720
to

670
00:23:43,830 --> 00:23:40,480
as i call them

671
00:23:46,390 --> 00:23:43,840
the not ip the ep very experienced

672
00:23:51,590 --> 00:23:49,190
and i hope everything will in the future

673
00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:51,600
i'm sure you'll do wonderfully

674
00:23:56,710 --> 00:23:53,600
any other questions from the

675
00:24:00,549 --> 00:23:59,029
how do you adapt in outer space

676
00:24:01,909 --> 00:24:00,559
how do you adapt an abstract that's a

677
00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:01,919
good question your body is pretty

678
00:24:06,630 --> 00:24:04,720
amazing and that it really adapts after

679
00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:06,640
you know three or four days

680
00:24:10,789 --> 00:24:08,400
it adapts really well to this really

681
00:24:12,310 --> 00:24:10,799
strange environment that you're in

682
00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:12,320
if you can imagine you're floating

683
00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:13,760
around but also everything inside your

684
00:24:17,830 --> 00:24:15,360
body is floating around in different

685
00:24:19,190 --> 00:24:17,840
places and it's used to being so

686
00:24:20,789 --> 00:24:19,200
your body kind of reacts to that

687
00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:20,799
initially but then after a couple days

688
00:24:25,190 --> 00:24:23,440
it settles out really nicely and

689
00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:25,200
we have this thing called a fluid shift

690
00:24:29,750 --> 00:24:27,600
so a lot of the water and fluid in your

691
00:24:31,830 --> 00:24:29,760
body kind of shifts up towards your head

692
00:24:33,510 --> 00:24:31,840
and so you may notice we'll watch if

693
00:24:35,269 --> 00:24:33,520
you're watching saturday or sunday after

694
00:24:37,350 --> 00:24:35,279
you see the crew dock to the space

695
00:24:39,350 --> 00:24:37,360
station you may see their faces kind of

696
00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:39,360
all very full looking

697
00:24:42,070 --> 00:24:40,640
and that's because the fluid is kind of

698
00:24:43,909 --> 00:24:42,080
shifted up towards their head and that's

699
00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:43,919
very common

700
00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:45,600
and so your body sometimes it stays

701
00:24:48,789 --> 00:24:47,120
there sometimes it goes away everybody's

702
00:24:50,710 --> 00:24:48,799
a little bit different but in general

703
00:24:52,070 --> 00:24:50,720
your body adapts really well and you get

704
00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:52,080
used to

705
00:24:55,750 --> 00:24:53,840
being in a place where guess what up

706
00:24:57,590 --> 00:24:55,760
there's no upside down there's no up or

707
00:24:59,590 --> 00:24:57,600
down you can be upside down talking to

708
00:25:00,390 --> 00:24:59,600
me and it's not weird it's totally

709
00:25:02,149 --> 00:25:00,400
normal

710
00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:02,159
all right so it's for humans on earth

711
00:25:05,669 --> 00:25:03,679
it's very tough to kind of get your

712
00:25:07,110 --> 00:25:05,679
brain around that but after a few days

713
00:25:08,549 --> 00:25:07,120
when you see somebody hanging upside

714
00:25:09,909 --> 00:25:08,559
down talking to you you're like well

715
00:25:12,230 --> 00:25:09,919
that's kind of cool

716
00:25:14,230 --> 00:25:12,240
and it's just normal so your body reacts

717
00:25:15,990 --> 00:25:14,240
really well

718
00:25:18,470 --> 00:25:16,000
do we have any social media questions

719
00:25:20,870 --> 00:25:18,480
yeah um we have one from elisa on

720
00:25:22,950 --> 00:25:20,880
twitter and she is wondering along with

721
00:25:24,549 --> 00:25:22,960
new experiments are there any ongoing

722
00:25:26,630 --> 00:25:24,559
experiments that you will get to either

723
00:25:28,630 --> 00:25:26,640
continue or wrap up from

724
00:25:30,470 --> 00:25:28,640
something the last crew set up

725
00:25:32,070 --> 00:25:30,480
ah let me think about that i know

726
00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:32,080
there's plenty that

727
00:25:35,190 --> 00:25:34,000
will be ongoing fluid shifts is one of

728
00:25:36,950 --> 00:25:35,200
them that i kind of mentioned a minute

729
00:25:39,510 --> 00:25:36,960
ago but it's an experiment where we're

730
00:25:41,190 --> 00:25:39,520
trying to quantify why this phenomenon

731
00:25:42,710 --> 00:25:41,200
happens and what it's actually doing to

732
00:25:44,950 --> 00:25:42,720
our bodies

733
00:25:47,909 --> 00:25:44,960
i will be helping out sergei in this

734
00:25:49,990 --> 00:25:47,919
fluid shifts experiments um the russians

735
00:25:51,990 --> 00:25:50,000
and and and all the other astronauts are

736
00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:52,000
using this um so we do some of the

737
00:25:56,149 --> 00:25:53,360
activities on the russian side of the

738
00:25:58,149 --> 00:25:56,159
space station and some on the u.s side

739
00:25:59,430 --> 00:25:58,159
also peggy whitson

740
00:26:00,950 --> 00:25:59,440
and kate rubins are doing that

741
00:26:03,669 --> 00:26:00,960
experiment so i will hopefully get to

742
00:26:05,269 --> 00:26:03,679
help them out as well

743
00:26:07,029 --> 00:26:05,279
there are what are other ones i'm

744
00:26:08,710 --> 00:26:07,039
thinking of

745
00:26:11,350 --> 00:26:08,720
there's plenty that have to do with bone

746
00:26:12,789 --> 00:26:11,360
loss and muscle loss that most of us

747
00:26:15,110 --> 00:26:12,799
have signed up to

748
00:26:16,789 --> 00:26:15,120
participate in so those will i will

749
00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:16,799
learn obviously from the folks when i

750
00:26:20,310 --> 00:26:18,880
get there how to do these things and

751
00:26:22,230 --> 00:26:20,320
it'll carry on to me and then i'll pass

752
00:26:24,149 --> 00:26:22,240
them along to the next folks so that we

753
00:26:26,549 --> 00:26:24,159
can hopefully try to quantify you know

754
00:26:28,710 --> 00:26:26,559
why we're losing bone bone loss or bone

755
00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:28,720
mass excuse me or in bone density and be

756
00:26:34,230 --> 00:26:30,480
able to help folks as we try to get out

757
00:26:38,149 --> 00:26:35,990
awesome and we have another one from

758
00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:38,159
mariana on twitter and she's wondering

759
00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:40,000
what the two day rendezvous is like for

760
00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:41,520
you do you have to be strapped into your

761
00:26:44,789 --> 00:26:42,960
seat the whole time or can you get up

762
00:26:46,870 --> 00:26:44,799
and move around what is that like yeah

763
00:26:48,070 --> 00:26:46,880
that's a great question so we're like

764
00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:48,080
like you mentioned we're gonna get to

765
00:26:52,950 --> 00:26:50,400
experience this two-day rendezvous in a

766
00:26:54,070 --> 00:26:52,960
very small volume um so it'll be really

767
00:26:55,269 --> 00:26:54,080
interesting

768
00:26:56,710 --> 00:26:55,279
um

769
00:26:59,110 --> 00:26:56,720
what you do get to get out of your seat

770
00:27:01,510 --> 00:26:59,120
to answer your question um so after

771
00:27:03,510 --> 00:27:01,520
several hours you get into space

772
00:27:04,950 --> 00:27:03,520
you get things all set up on the vehicle

773
00:27:06,470 --> 00:27:04,960
you run through your checklist and then

774
00:27:08,149 --> 00:27:06,480
you get to get out and get out of your

775
00:27:09,909 --> 00:27:08,159
spacesuit actually too

776
00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:09,919
which will be nice after being in that

777
00:27:13,430 --> 00:27:11,840
for several hours so we'll get out of

778
00:27:14,950 --> 00:27:13,440
that we'll get comfortable and like

779
00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:14,960
shorts and a t-shirt and we'll kind of

780
00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:17,200
hang out and those clothes for the

781
00:27:20,470 --> 00:27:18,960
couple days that we're doing these other

782
00:27:22,630 --> 00:27:20,480
tests on the vehicle

783
00:27:23,990 --> 00:27:22,640
and while we're orbiting the earth

784
00:27:26,149 --> 00:27:24,000
just prior to getting to the space

785
00:27:28,149 --> 00:27:26,159
station we'll get back in our spacesuits

786
00:27:29,350 --> 00:27:28,159
and get back in our seats

787
00:27:31,669 --> 00:27:29,360
strapped in

788
00:27:32,950 --> 00:27:31,679
just like we were at launch

789
00:27:34,470 --> 00:27:32,960
and that's to protect us in case

790
00:27:36,070 --> 00:27:34,480
something happens is we're going to dock

791
00:27:38,470 --> 00:27:36,080
to the space station

792
00:27:39,830 --> 00:27:38,480
so once we get there of course then

793
00:27:42,389 --> 00:27:39,840
it takes a while for all the pressures

794
00:27:44,149 --> 00:27:42,399
to equalize we get out of our spacesuits

795
00:27:45,590 --> 00:27:44,159
get into a nice looking flight suit

796
00:27:47,110 --> 00:27:45,600
because we'll get to

797
00:27:48,870 --> 00:27:47,120
come across the hatch and have a little

798
00:27:50,470 --> 00:27:48,880
video conference with our family shortly

799
00:27:51,750 --> 00:27:50,480
after that so that's how that's going to

800
00:27:53,350 --> 00:27:51,760
work

801
00:27:54,950 --> 00:27:53,360
awesome and we have one more fun one

802
00:27:56,389 --> 00:27:54,960
that i think uh

803
00:27:58,710 --> 00:27:56,399
shane you might be interested in we have

804
00:27:59,830 --> 00:27:58,720
a question from kelly on twitter

805
00:28:01,510 --> 00:27:59,840
and you mentioned you're going to be

806
00:28:03,430 --> 00:28:01,520
taking pictures of golf courses from

807
00:28:05,909 --> 00:28:03,440
space are there any other live sporting

808
00:28:07,909 --> 00:28:05,919
events you plan to tune into from space

809
00:28:11,029 --> 00:28:07,919
while you're up there i plan yeah as

810
00:28:12,630 --> 00:28:11,039
many as possible i'm a big sports fan

811
00:28:14,149 --> 00:28:12,640
so obviously we'll be up there in

812
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:14,159
college football season and the pro

813
00:28:18,710 --> 00:28:16,320
football season so i look forward to

814
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:18,720
watching um as many games as i can we

815
00:28:21,029 --> 00:28:20,000
don't have a lot of free time by the way

816
00:28:22,710 --> 00:28:21,039
but

817
00:28:24,389 --> 00:28:22,720
they can stream up games to us which

818
00:28:26,710 --> 00:28:24,399
will be nice to kind of catch maybe 10

819
00:28:28,149 --> 00:28:26,720
15 minutes at a time of a game but

820
00:28:30,310 --> 00:28:28,159
just to stay connected i think that will

821
00:28:31,830 --> 00:28:30,320
help me stay connected with the earth

822
00:28:34,070 --> 00:28:31,840
the world series is going on i'm a

823
00:28:35,430 --> 00:28:34,080
baseball fan as well so

824
00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:35,440
they will be tied into that and of

825
00:28:38,630 --> 00:28:36,880
course the super bowl next year will be

826
00:28:39,990 --> 00:28:38,640
in houston so we're going to have a lot

827
00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:40,000
of events maybe

828
00:28:46,070 --> 00:28:42,480
tied into the super bowl to be able to

829
00:28:49,909 --> 00:28:47,990
any other questions in the room yes

830
00:28:50,950 --> 00:28:49,919
ma'am hi sophie sanchez with captain

831
00:28:53,669 --> 00:28:50,960
chicago

832
00:28:55,190 --> 00:28:53,679
um shane uh building on the science

833
00:28:57,430 --> 00:28:55,200
experiments question that was asked

834
00:28:59,110 --> 00:28:57,440
earlier uh your first stay on the

835
00:29:00,950 --> 00:28:59,120
station was more of a

836
00:29:02,789 --> 00:29:00,960
maintenance and building experience and

837
00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:02,799
this is going to be very science-heavy

838
00:29:06,950 --> 00:29:05,520
um do you find the training and the

839
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:06,960
process for that more or less

840
00:29:10,789 --> 00:29:08,720
challenging

841
00:29:12,389 --> 00:29:10,799
um i would say it's equally as

842
00:29:13,830 --> 00:29:12,399
challenging and this is really going to

843
00:29:15,909 --> 00:29:13,840
get i'm going to get the best of both

844
00:29:17,430 --> 00:29:15,919
worlds because really my first month

845
00:29:19,590 --> 00:29:17,440
like i mentioned is all about doing

846
00:29:21,029 --> 00:29:19,600
space walks and it's very similar to my

847
00:29:22,549 --> 00:29:21,039
shuttle mission and we went out there

848
00:29:24,070 --> 00:29:22,559
and just went outside and did you know

849
00:29:26,789 --> 00:29:24,080
repaired some things put some new things

850
00:29:28,630 --> 00:29:26,799
in and that'll be very very similar

851
00:29:30,149 --> 00:29:28,640
but once november december january

852
00:29:31,909 --> 00:29:30,159
february it will be very science

853
00:29:33,669 --> 00:29:31,919
intensive like you mentioned

854
00:29:35,830 --> 00:29:33,679
it's been i'm not a scientist by trade

855
00:29:36,870 --> 00:29:35,840
so it's been really interesting to me to

856
00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:36,880
kind of learn about all these

857
00:29:41,190 --> 00:29:38,240
experiments and meet some of the

858
00:29:43,669 --> 00:29:41,200
scientists that have really dedicated a

859
00:29:45,909 --> 00:29:43,679
huge chunk of their careers to a certain

860
00:29:47,350 --> 00:29:45,919
experiment we're going to work on so we

861
00:29:49,110 --> 00:29:47,360
have a lot of responsibility to make

862
00:29:51,029 --> 00:29:49,120
sure we do it correctly for that

863
00:29:52,310 --> 00:29:51,039
scientist and they're from all around

864
00:29:53,990 --> 00:29:52,320
the world so it's kind of neat to be

865
00:29:56,310 --> 00:29:54,000
able to work with all these folks from

866
00:29:58,149 --> 00:29:56,320
from all around the world and you know

867
00:29:59,750 --> 00:29:58,159
five ten years from now i think all this

868
00:30:00,789 --> 00:29:59,760
whatever the science that we do now will

869
00:30:02,870 --> 00:30:00,799
actually be

870
00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:02,880
getting published and and realized and

871
00:30:06,070 --> 00:30:04,480
helping people back here on earth so

872
00:30:09,510 --> 00:30:06,080
that's kind of an exciting thing for me

873
00:30:12,149 --> 00:30:09,520
to be part of that

874
00:30:16,630 --> 00:30:12,159
any other questions

875
00:30:19,909 --> 00:30:18,549
how do you control the robots who uses

876
00:30:21,430 --> 00:30:19,919
space

877
00:30:22,630 --> 00:30:21,440
how do we control the robots is that the

878
00:30:24,549 --> 00:30:22,640
question yes sir

879
00:30:25,909 --> 00:30:24,559
so we have a robotic arm that we use

880
00:30:27,510 --> 00:30:25,919
that's on the outside of the space

881
00:30:29,190 --> 00:30:27,520
station so we control that from the

882
00:30:31,430 --> 00:30:29,200
inside with hand controllers very

883
00:30:33,510 --> 00:30:31,440
similar to like a fighter jet or a

884
00:30:36,470 --> 00:30:33,520
helicopter maybe or the simulators that

885
00:30:38,389 --> 00:30:36,480
you guys may have on video games so we

886
00:30:39,590 --> 00:30:38,399
control it with that and we have cameras

887
00:30:41,510 --> 00:30:39,600
all over the outside of the space

888
00:30:43,990 --> 00:30:41,520
station as well as on the robotic

889
00:30:45,190 --> 00:30:44,000
robotic arm itself which help us to make

890
00:30:46,549 --> 00:30:45,200
sure we're not going to run into

891
00:30:48,630 --> 00:30:46,559
anything so that's very important of

892
00:30:50,470 --> 00:30:48,640
course but we use that to move things

893
00:30:51,830 --> 00:30:50,480
around we move people around sometimes

894
00:30:53,510 --> 00:30:51,840
on the end of that and we move equipment

895
00:30:55,269 --> 00:30:53,520
around as well

896
00:30:57,190 --> 00:30:55,279
we have some other we have a couple of

897
00:30:59,350 --> 00:30:57,200
those arms one from canada on the

898
00:31:01,110 --> 00:30:59,360
outside and the japanese also have a

899
00:31:02,630 --> 00:31:01,120
kind of a smaller robotic arm that we

900
00:31:04,789 --> 00:31:02,640
use sometimes

901
00:31:06,470 --> 00:31:04,799
to do similar things

902
00:31:08,389 --> 00:31:06,480
the robots on board you may have heard

903
00:31:10,310 --> 00:31:08,399
of a thing called robonauts that's one

904
00:31:12,310 --> 00:31:10,320
of the the experiments we'll get to mess

905
00:31:14,630 --> 00:31:12,320
around with while we're up there but it

906
00:31:16,870 --> 00:31:14,640
looks like uh kind of looks like a a

907
00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:16,880
space spacey astronaut

908
00:31:21,350 --> 00:31:18,799
that may be out of a movie

909
00:31:24,310 --> 00:31:21,360
but we we get to to do some neat tasks

910
00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:24,320
with that um repair it when it breaks so

911
00:31:27,990 --> 00:31:25,760
sometimes it doesn't feel so good so we

912
00:31:29,830 --> 00:31:28,000
have to help it out and repair it but

913
00:31:32,070 --> 00:31:29,840
otherwise it'll be doing some tasks and

914
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:32,080
all that technology is is kind of fun

915
00:31:35,350 --> 00:31:33,360
right now but it's going to be things

916
00:31:37,909 --> 00:31:35,360
that we'll use down the road as we get

917
00:31:42,389 --> 00:31:37,919
into going into out of low earth orbit

918
00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:44,470
i saw a few more hands going up i think

919
00:31:49,430 --> 00:31:46,480
yes ma'am

920
00:31:51,669 --> 00:31:49,440
how long before a man reaches mars how

921
00:31:54,070 --> 00:31:51,679
long before a man reaches mars that's a

922
00:31:56,149 --> 00:31:54,080
great question um of course i don't have

923
00:31:58,070 --> 00:31:56,159
the exact answer but my guess would be i

924
00:32:00,789 --> 00:31:58,080
don't know maybe 20 years from now so

925
00:32:02,149 --> 00:32:00,799
when you when you kids are you know old

926
00:32:03,909 --> 00:32:02,159
like us

927
00:32:06,149 --> 00:32:03,919
we'll hopefully be sending people to

928
00:32:08,470 --> 00:32:06,159
mars it'll be your generation that

929
00:32:10,070 --> 00:32:08,480
actually sends the first person to mars

930
00:32:11,269 --> 00:32:10,080
so that's kind of cool if you guys are

931
00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:11,279
interested in that kind of thing maybe

932
00:32:13,909 --> 00:32:12,720
it'll be you

933
00:32:17,750 --> 00:32:13,919
i don't know would anyone have you three

934
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,590
we'll leave that to you guys

935
00:32:25,830 --> 00:32:23,110
and you look

936
00:32:28,149 --> 00:32:25,840
all the way in the back second one in

937
00:32:31,669 --> 00:32:28,159
yes sir

938
00:32:34,230 --> 00:32:31,679
does every asthma have an opportunity to

939
00:32:36,310 --> 00:32:34,240
go into space does every astronaut have

940
00:32:38,630 --> 00:32:36,320
an opportunity to go to space very good

941
00:32:39,750 --> 00:32:38,640
question um i would say in general yes

942
00:32:42,230 --> 00:32:39,760
every now and then there's something

943
00:32:44,070 --> 00:32:42,240
that happens maybe medically that it

944
00:32:45,110 --> 00:32:44,080
won't allow them to go to space but in

945
00:32:47,029 --> 00:32:45,120
general

946
00:32:48,470 --> 00:32:47,039
you come as an astronaut candidate you

947
00:32:50,389 --> 00:32:48,480
go through training

948
00:32:52,789 --> 00:32:50,399
once you pass all of those exams then

949
00:32:53,669 --> 00:32:52,799
you're ready to be assigned to a mission

950
00:32:56,310 --> 00:32:53,679
and

951
00:32:57,430 --> 00:32:56,320
i think in general most cases that's

952
00:33:01,110 --> 00:32:57,440
you'll get assigned to a mission and

953
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:08,149
i think i saw another handbag yes sir

954
00:33:12,630 --> 00:33:10,230
what's the name of the rocket used to go

955
00:33:18,149 --> 00:33:12,640
to space

956
00:33:22,230 --> 00:33:19,669
the rocket has

957
00:33:25,110 --> 00:33:22,240
the same name as a

958
00:33:27,830 --> 00:33:25,120
vehicle as i use but a different uh

959
00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:27,840
additional part a rocket has uh so

960
00:33:34,950 --> 00:33:31,440
useful and the vehicle is i use ms

961
00:33:37,509 --> 00:33:34,960
it depends on some technical nuances

962
00:33:40,230 --> 00:33:37,519
so the soyuz is the way we americans say

963
00:33:42,149 --> 00:33:40,240
it um it's called sius in russian like

964
00:33:44,149 --> 00:33:42,159
sergey mentioned so if you ever hear

965
00:33:45,669 --> 00:33:44,159
soyuz it could be talking about the

966
00:33:47,830 --> 00:33:45,679
rocket or it could be talking about the

967
00:33:48,870 --> 00:33:47,840
spacecraft and like you mentioned

968
00:33:50,870 --> 00:33:48,880
they're sitting at you know the

969
00:33:53,509 --> 00:33:50,880
spacecraft sits on top of the rocket and

970
00:33:55,350 --> 00:33:53,519
they just have a little a couple letters

971
00:33:57,509 --> 00:33:55,360
at the end of the soyuz that make it

972
00:33:59,830 --> 00:33:57,519
different so the ms if you see ms that

973
00:34:05,350 --> 00:33:59,840
means that's the spacecraft we're on if

974
00:34:09,109 --> 00:34:06,789
yes sir

975
00:34:11,030 --> 00:34:09,119
how long do you stay in space

976
00:34:12,710 --> 00:34:11,040
so we're gonna all the missions are a

977
00:34:14,389 --> 00:34:12,720
little bit different in general we say

978
00:34:16,389 --> 00:34:14,399
six months but it usually ends up being

979
00:34:18,069 --> 00:34:16,399
about five and a half months and our

980
00:34:19,909 --> 00:34:18,079
mission will end up being if it stays

981
00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:19,919
the way it's planned right now it'll be

982
00:34:25,909 --> 00:34:24,790
long time

983
00:34:27,190 --> 00:34:25,919
you guys would probably stay a little

984
00:34:29,589 --> 00:34:27,200
longer if you could

985
00:34:30,710 --> 00:34:29,599
yeah we'll see

986
00:34:32,230 --> 00:34:30,720
we'll see

987
00:34:35,669 --> 00:34:32,240
it's always fun but i think we're always

988
00:34:37,190 --> 00:34:35,679
ready to come home

989
00:34:38,550 --> 00:34:37,200
what will you miss most when you're in

990
00:34:40,149 --> 00:34:38,560
orbit

991
00:34:41,829 --> 00:34:40,159
i'll certainly miss my family and

992
00:34:43,829 --> 00:34:41,839
friends and uh

993
00:34:45,109 --> 00:34:43,839
just being with them

994
00:34:46,950 --> 00:34:45,119
we've got some

995
00:34:47,909 --> 00:34:46,960
a lot of dynamics going on in our family

996
00:34:49,349 --> 00:34:47,919
with

997
00:34:51,829 --> 00:34:49,359
kids going to college and things so i

998
00:34:53,589 --> 00:34:51,839
kind of miss those first experiences for

999
00:34:55,270 --> 00:34:53,599
my daughters but

1000
00:34:57,829 --> 00:34:55,280
i get to be in touch obviously but just

1001
00:35:00,150 --> 00:34:57,839
not here present physically so

1002
00:35:03,030 --> 00:35:00,160
that's what i'll miss the most

1003
00:35:05,190 --> 00:35:03,040
what will you guys miss about earth

1004
00:35:08,069 --> 00:35:05,200
of course my son my parents

1005
00:35:10,950 --> 00:35:08,079
my relatives um

1006
00:35:14,829 --> 00:35:10,960
but i think uh

1007
00:35:16,630 --> 00:35:14,839
stay in between the sky yeah i mean

1008
00:35:18,870 --> 00:35:16,640
space and

1009
00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:18,880
earth

1010
00:35:23,109 --> 00:35:20,880
great opportunity to feel

1011
00:35:24,710 --> 00:35:23,119
that they're

1012
00:35:26,950 --> 00:35:24,720
near them near me

1013
00:35:35,589 --> 00:35:26,960
and then

1014
00:35:40,710 --> 00:35:38,230
family friends and something from earth

1015
00:35:43,430 --> 00:35:41,829
very good

1016
00:35:47,270 --> 00:35:43,440
yeah there's no pizza in space for you

1017
00:35:52,310 --> 00:35:49,829
any other questions

1018
00:35:54,630 --> 00:35:52,320
oh fantastic that's um somewhat related

1019
00:35:56,310 --> 00:35:54,640
to that topic elisa wants to know how do

1020
00:35:57,589 --> 00:35:56,320
you communicate with your families when

1021
00:35:59,349 --> 00:35:57,599
you're in space

1022
00:36:01,910 --> 00:35:59,359
we have several ways to communicate

1023
00:36:03,270 --> 00:36:01,920
email is is now almost like it is here

1024
00:36:05,270 --> 00:36:03,280
on earth so it's

1025
00:36:06,710 --> 00:36:05,280
it's pretty instantaneous sometimes we

1026
00:36:09,190 --> 00:36:06,720
have issues but in general it's

1027
00:36:10,790 --> 00:36:09,200
instantaneous email so that's nice

1028
00:36:12,950 --> 00:36:10,800
we have a phone that we can use to call

1029
00:36:14,790 --> 00:36:12,960
home as well they can't call us but we

1030
00:36:16,950 --> 00:36:14,800
can call them

1031
00:36:18,870 --> 00:36:16,960
so it's kind of a one-way deal

1032
00:36:20,870 --> 00:36:18,880
and once a week we'll get to do a video

1033
00:36:22,790 --> 00:36:20,880
conference with our families usually

1034
00:36:24,550 --> 00:36:22,800
schedule on the weekend during our down

1035
00:36:26,069 --> 00:36:24,560
time so that will be a nice

1036
00:36:27,430 --> 00:36:26,079
nice thing to not just be able to talk

1037
00:36:28,790 --> 00:36:27,440
to them but to see them and see what's

1038
00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:28,800
going on

1039
00:36:31,829 --> 00:36:30,480
and now it's it's so nice because you

1040
00:36:33,510 --> 00:36:31,839
can do it on an ipad or they could be

1041
00:36:35,109 --> 00:36:33,520
anywhere they don't have to be here at

1042
00:36:36,950 --> 00:36:35,119
johnson space center

1043
00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:36,960
like they used to be

1044
00:36:42,870 --> 00:36:40,480
what other ways can we communicate uh i

1045
00:36:44,630 --> 00:36:42,880
think that's about it in general so

1046
00:36:46,470 --> 00:36:44,640
thanks

1047
00:36:48,950 --> 00:36:46,480
and we have a call on the phone bridge

1048
00:36:54,470 --> 00:36:51,990
hi um i was curious what

1049
00:36:56,790 --> 00:36:54,480
the most complicated experiment each of

1050
00:37:00,150 --> 00:36:56,800
you has trained to do is or you know an

1051
00:37:04,550 --> 00:37:01,750
good question i'm trying to think

1052
00:37:07,829 --> 00:37:04,560
they're all complicated for me so clear

1053
00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:07,839
now it's all of them actually are

1054
00:37:11,829 --> 00:37:09,760
even with very limited background in

1055
00:37:13,430 --> 00:37:11,839
science like myself

1056
00:37:15,270 --> 00:37:13,440
their procedures are so well laid out

1057
00:37:17,190 --> 00:37:15,280
and in the history and the background of

1058
00:37:18,550 --> 00:37:17,200
the experiment that we get

1059
00:37:20,710 --> 00:37:18,560
with the kind of a packet of the

1060
00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:20,720
procedures is so well done

1061
00:37:23,589 --> 00:37:22,000
and that's done by a lot of people here

1062
00:37:26,790 --> 00:37:23,599
on the ground to make sure that we can

1063
00:37:28,390 --> 00:37:26,800
all just perform the experiment without

1064
00:37:30,150 --> 00:37:28,400
maybe messing up the data or the

1065
00:37:32,790 --> 00:37:30,160
research so

1066
00:37:35,510 --> 00:37:32,800
i don't really consider any of them

1067
00:37:36,950 --> 00:37:35,520
any more difficult than the others

1068
00:37:39,750 --> 00:37:36,960
maybe i'll have a different answer when

1069
00:37:41,990 --> 00:37:39,760
i get home but as for now

1070
00:37:44,950 --> 00:37:42,000
that's what i think

1071
00:37:47,670 --> 00:37:44,960
i think the most complicated experiment

1072
00:37:52,630 --> 00:37:48,630
expect

1073
00:37:53,829 --> 00:37:52,640
on board we'll circle up it's a is a

1074
00:37:57,589 --> 00:37:53,839
experiment

1075
00:37:58,870 --> 00:37:57,599
using mario's equipment

1076
00:38:00,310 --> 00:37:58,880
moscow

1077
00:38:02,710 --> 00:38:00,320
atrophy

1078
00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:02,720
research experiment system something

1079
00:38:05,589 --> 00:38:04,400
like that and

1080
00:38:09,109 --> 00:38:05,599
it

1081
00:38:12,230 --> 00:38:09,119
takes

1082
00:38:13,750 --> 00:38:12,240
a half of module columbus european

1083
00:38:16,829 --> 00:38:13,760
and a lot of

1084
00:38:19,589 --> 00:38:16,839
equipment a lot of laptop

1085
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:19,599
cables and

1086
00:38:29,359 --> 00:38:46,870
experience

1087
00:38:52,069 --> 00:38:49,589
the entire space flight is like one big

1088
00:38:54,069 --> 00:38:52,079
experiment not just ours but everyone's

1089
00:38:55,910 --> 00:38:54,079
it has many parts for example we're

1090
00:38:58,230 --> 00:38:55,920
testing new technology

1091
00:38:59,829 --> 00:38:58,240
there's a scientific component

1092
00:39:01,910 --> 00:38:59,839
we'll do experiments on the mice that

1093
00:39:03,510 --> 00:39:01,920
will fly along with us and the crew

1094
00:39:12,069 --> 00:39:03,520
itself is

1095
00:39:12,079 --> 00:39:27,270
partner

1096
00:39:31,750 --> 00:39:29,270
and the results of this big experiment

1097
00:39:33,670 --> 00:39:31,760
that is called our space flight

1098
00:39:35,109 --> 00:39:33,680
hopefully will be useful for the

1099
00:39:37,829 --> 00:39:35,119
children that are sitting right here in

1100
00:39:42,390 --> 00:39:37,839
front of us in their life and also in

1101
00:39:48,950 --> 00:39:43,589
do you have any other questions in the

1102
00:39:52,950 --> 00:39:50,870
do you have any social media yeah we i

1103
00:39:54,950 --> 00:39:52,960
think this one is uh a good one to be

1104
00:39:56,550 --> 00:39:54,960
related to uh preparing for space and

1105
00:39:57,750 --> 00:39:56,560
doing some of the complicated things you

1106
00:40:01,750 --> 00:39:57,760
do there

1107
00:40:03,910 --> 00:40:01,760
so tom on twitter is uh wondering how

1108
00:40:06,630 --> 00:40:03,920
realistic the pool work in the in the

1109
00:40:08,870 --> 00:40:06,640
mbl is to actually doing the work in

1110
00:40:11,349 --> 00:40:08,880
space is that a good preparation for you

1111
00:40:13,829 --> 00:40:11,359
yeah the pool the nbl neutral buoyancy

1112
00:40:15,589 --> 00:40:13,839
lab is an amazing training facility

1113
00:40:18,069 --> 00:40:15,599
it's not perfect of course because guess

1114
00:40:21,670 --> 00:40:18,079
what the pool still has gravity

1115
00:40:23,670 --> 00:40:21,680
but in general it's a really nice analog

1116
00:40:25,990 --> 00:40:23,680
so that when we get in the pool we have

1117
00:40:27,829 --> 00:40:26,000
divers that kind of move weights around

1118
00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:27,839
our suit to to make us float so when

1119
00:40:31,030 --> 00:40:29,680
they let go of us you don't sink or

1120
00:40:33,510 --> 00:40:31,040
float that's why they call it neutrally

1121
00:40:35,910 --> 00:40:33,520
buoyant and so that's kind of simulates

1122
00:40:37,349 --> 00:40:35,920
space right but

1123
00:40:39,589 --> 00:40:37,359
if you go upside down in the pool guess

1124
00:40:41,190 --> 00:40:39,599
what the blood still rushes to your head

1125
00:40:42,790 --> 00:40:41,200
the weight of the spacesuit is on your

1126
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:42,800
shoulders so

1127
00:40:46,710 --> 00:40:45,119
that's not realistic in space you can go

1128
00:40:48,710 --> 00:40:46,720
in any orientation in space and you're

1129
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:48,720
going to feel exactly the same

1130
00:40:52,150 --> 00:40:50,160
so that's the biggest difference but in

1131
00:40:54,309 --> 00:40:52,160
general with the space station the whole

1132
00:40:55,670 --> 00:40:54,319
space station pretty much in the water

1133
00:40:57,030 --> 00:40:55,680
everything just like it is on the

1134
00:40:59,190 --> 00:40:57,040
outside the space station it's an

1135
00:41:01,349 --> 00:40:59,200
incredible trainer for knowing where you

1136
00:41:03,190 --> 00:41:01,359
are and then knowing how to do the tasks

1137
00:41:05,349 --> 00:41:03,200
that we're being trained to do

1138
00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:05,359
and then some potentially that

1139
00:41:07,990 --> 00:41:06,640
you know we don't really get trained on

1140
00:41:09,510 --> 00:41:08,000
but if something breaks we have to go

1141
00:41:11,670 --> 00:41:09,520
fix it just having that knowledge of

1142
00:41:13,349 --> 00:41:11,680
where things are and how to take you

1143
00:41:15,030 --> 00:41:13,359
know certain equipment in and out and

1144
00:41:16,550 --> 00:41:15,040
put new ones in and out

1145
00:41:19,109 --> 00:41:16,560
that's all incredible training that we

1146
00:41:20,950 --> 00:41:19,119
get at the nbl

1147
00:41:24,309 --> 00:41:20,960
what's been the most challenging

1148
00:41:26,870 --> 00:41:24,319
part of uh training for each one of you

1149
00:41:28,950 --> 00:41:26,880
um for me it's probably the travel

1150
00:41:30,550 --> 00:41:28,960
there's a lot of travel involved um over

1151
00:41:32,390 --> 00:41:30,560
these couple years you're probably gone

1152
00:41:34,390 --> 00:41:32,400
about half the time i would say uh and

1153
00:41:36,309 --> 00:41:34,400
we get to train it's really a unique

1154
00:41:39,109 --> 00:41:36,319
experience we get to train

1155
00:41:41,109 --> 00:41:39,119
in russia and japan and in germany where

1156
00:41:43,829 --> 00:41:41,119
the european astronaut training center

1157
00:41:45,829 --> 00:41:43,839
is so that's that's really unique um

1158
00:41:47,109 --> 00:41:45,839
because all those countries have modules

1159
00:41:48,790 --> 00:41:47,119
on the space station so they want to

1160
00:41:51,190 --> 00:41:48,800
make sure we're trained on their modules

1161
00:41:54,069 --> 00:41:51,200
as well as many of uh experiments that

1162
00:41:56,150 --> 00:41:54,079
those countries specifically want us to

1163
00:41:58,230 --> 00:41:56,160
perform while we're up in space

1164
00:42:00,470 --> 00:41:58,240
most of our time for for us is spinning

1165
00:42:03,109 --> 00:42:00,480
russia now because the vehicle we fly on

1166
00:42:05,270 --> 00:42:03,119
is russian all right the soyuz vehicle

1167
00:42:07,589 --> 00:42:05,280
obviously is is made in russia and we

1168
00:42:08,950 --> 00:42:07,599
train on it in star city russia

1169
00:42:10,630 --> 00:42:08,960
so that's where i see these gentlemen

1170
00:42:11,829 --> 00:42:10,640
most often

1171
00:42:13,829 --> 00:42:11,839
but that's probably been the hardest

1172
00:42:16,470 --> 00:42:13,839
thing just doing that and missing

1173
00:42:19,510 --> 00:42:16,480
events of my kids and missing my wife

1174
00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:19,520
and other family things

1175
00:42:24,950 --> 00:42:22,800
i agree with shane about

1176
00:42:27,270 --> 00:42:24,960
sayu's training because it's

1177
00:42:31,910 --> 00:42:27,280
i think the most complicated

1178
00:42:35,109 --> 00:42:31,920
most difficult part of our preparation

1179
00:42:39,030 --> 00:42:35,119
but about traveling for me it's

1180
00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:41,589
different perspective

1181
00:42:49,990 --> 00:42:48,150
how to get over jet lag let us know yeah

1182
00:42:52,069 --> 00:42:50,000
it's kind of a i was talking to my

1183
00:42:53,750 --> 00:42:52,079
colleague jeff williams and speaking of

1184
00:42:55,349 --> 00:42:53,760
the jet lag thing you're over these last

1185
00:42:57,589 --> 00:42:55,359
couple years we're kind of always in

1186
00:42:59,270 --> 00:42:57,599
this jet lag state he says that's the

1187
00:43:01,109 --> 00:42:59,280
best preparations for space flight you

1188
00:43:03,430 --> 00:43:01,119
can ever have because when you're up in

1189
00:43:05,750 --> 00:43:03,440
space you feel okay but you never feel

1190
00:43:07,589 --> 00:43:05,760
quite a hundred percent uh and it's just

1191
00:43:09,030 --> 00:43:07,599
you're kind of operating and doing

1192
00:43:11,430 --> 00:43:09,040
pretty challenging things and you're

1193
00:43:13,109 --> 00:43:11,440
just not 100 so it's this jet lag

1194
00:43:15,190 --> 00:43:13,119
recovery is a pretty good training for

1195
00:43:17,829 --> 00:43:15,200
space flight apparently

1196
00:43:19,990 --> 00:43:17,839
we're all training for space flight yeah

1197
00:43:22,470 --> 00:43:20,000
do you have another one haley yeah so we

1198
00:43:24,309 --> 00:43:22,480
have linda hughes on facebook and she's

1199
00:43:25,670 --> 00:43:24,319
wondering um from your previous mission

1200
00:43:27,430 --> 00:43:25,680
is there anything you're looking forward

1201
00:43:30,150 --> 00:43:27,440
to experiencing again or is it going to

1202
00:43:32,309 --> 00:43:30,160
be different on spa on space station any

1203
00:43:34,390 --> 00:43:32,319
um thing that you're looking forward to

1204
00:43:36,230 --> 00:43:34,400
for this mission yeah it's a lot

1205
00:43:37,750 --> 00:43:36,240
different um up there this time than it

1206
00:43:39,270 --> 00:43:37,760
was my last trip so i'm really looking

1207
00:43:40,870 --> 00:43:39,280
forward to some of the things that we

1208
00:43:42,390 --> 00:43:40,880
brought up there on that mission but we

1209
00:43:45,030 --> 00:43:42,400
didn't get a chance to set up before we

1210
00:43:45,990 --> 00:43:45,040
left the new exercise equipment called a

1211
00:43:48,390 --> 00:43:46,000
red

1212
00:43:50,470 --> 00:43:48,400
advanced resistive exercise device

1213
00:43:51,430 --> 00:43:50,480
uh we got to bring that up in 2008 and

1214
00:43:53,030 --> 00:43:51,440
it's been

1215
00:43:55,510 --> 00:43:53,040
working really well for all of our

1216
00:43:56,870 --> 00:43:55,520
astronauts and cosmonauts keeping our

1217
00:43:58,630 --> 00:43:56,880
bones and

1218
00:44:00,550 --> 00:43:58,640
muscles healthy so it'll be neat to see

1219
00:44:02,069 --> 00:44:00,560
that actually use it

1220
00:44:05,990 --> 00:44:02,079
and the thing called the cupola which is

1221
00:44:08,150 --> 00:44:06,000
kind of a 360 degree window

1222
00:44:09,430 --> 00:44:08,160
little module i guess that's looks at

1223
00:44:11,750 --> 00:44:09,440
the earth all the time that was not

1224
00:44:13,510 --> 00:44:11,760
there last time i was there so

1225
00:44:15,190 --> 00:44:13,520
i'm really looking forward to hopping in

1226
00:44:16,309 --> 00:44:15,200
there and spending some time taking

1227
00:44:20,470 --> 00:44:16,319
pictures

1228
00:44:33,910 --> 00:44:20,480
um i guess that's about it for me thanks

1229
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:46,309
um

1230
00:44:51,109 --> 00:44:48,390
well the last time i was there the six

1231
00:44:52,630 --> 00:44:51,119
months flew by as fast as six weeks and

1232
00:44:53,750 --> 00:44:52,640
i think for this time it will be the

1233
00:44:55,829 --> 00:44:53,760
same thing

1234
00:44:57,430 --> 00:44:55,839
because the experiences that you have on

1235
00:45:00,309 --> 00:44:57,440
board the station

1236
00:45:05,030 --> 00:45:00,319
you absorb them very easily but then it

1237
00:45:07,510 --> 00:45:06,470
do we have any other questions within

1238
00:45:08,710 --> 00:45:07,520
the audience

1239
00:45:12,630 --> 00:45:08,720
mark

1240
00:45:14,390 --> 00:45:12,640
uh for aviation space technology again

1241
00:45:16,470 --> 00:45:14,400
can you sort of explain where you are in

1242
00:45:18,390 --> 00:45:16,480
your overall training flow are you kind

1243
00:45:21,270 --> 00:45:18,400
of at the end of the session here in the

1244
00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:21,280
us at johnson and what happens to y'all

1245
00:45:25,990 --> 00:45:24,480
but that's kind of close but all perhaps

1246
00:45:28,630 --> 00:45:26,000
yeah so we're kind of winding down is

1247
00:45:30,150 --> 00:45:28,640
the the best way to put it um sergey and

1248
00:45:31,750 --> 00:45:30,160
andre have another

1249
00:45:34,069 --> 00:45:31,760
three or four more days here in the u.s

1250
00:45:35,430 --> 00:45:34,079
we'll have a big uh kind of our final

1251
00:45:37,910 --> 00:45:35,440
exam if you want to call it that

1252
00:45:40,550 --> 00:45:37,920
emergency training event with the

1253
00:45:41,829 --> 00:45:40,560
crew that's following us so peggy thomas

1254
00:45:43,589 --> 00:45:41,839
and oleg

1255
00:45:45,190 --> 00:45:43,599
they'll return from baikonur they were

1256
00:45:46,950 --> 00:45:45,200
the backup crew for the launch yesterday

1257
00:45:49,349 --> 00:45:46,960
they come in this weekend we'll have

1258
00:45:50,710 --> 00:45:49,359
that training with them on monday

1259
00:45:52,630 --> 00:45:50,720
and then these gentlemen will head back

1260
00:45:54,309 --> 00:45:52,640
to russia

1261
00:45:56,150 --> 00:45:54,319
for a little time off i think as well as

1262
00:45:58,309 --> 00:45:56,160
some more training

1263
00:45:59,910 --> 00:45:58,319
for me myself i get a little bit of time

1264
00:46:02,550 --> 00:45:59,920
off coming up and then i have a trip to

1265
00:46:04,309 --> 00:46:02,560
japan left towards the end of july where

1266
00:46:07,030 --> 00:46:04,319
i'll go get finally trained on some

1267
00:46:08,550 --> 00:46:07,040
experiments and their modules the htv

1268
00:46:11,589 --> 00:46:08,560
that's coming up i'll get specifically

1269
00:46:13,349 --> 00:46:11,599
trained on that a little more

1270
00:46:14,790 --> 00:46:13,359
then i'll come back for another week of

1271
00:46:16,870 --> 00:46:14,800
work here in the first week of august

1272
00:46:18,069 --> 00:46:16,880
and then i head out mid-august

1273
00:46:19,990 --> 00:46:18,079
to russia

1274
00:46:21,990 --> 00:46:20,000
about six weeks before launch is pretty

1275
00:46:24,870 --> 00:46:22,000
normal for the right seater like myself

1276
00:46:27,190 --> 00:46:24,880
to to show up in star city for us to get

1277
00:46:28,309 --> 00:46:27,200
ready for our final exams

1278
00:46:30,550 --> 00:46:28,319
go through that and then several

1279
00:46:31,829 --> 00:46:30,560
ceremonies over in in star city and in

1280
00:46:34,470 --> 00:46:31,839
moscow

1281
00:46:35,910 --> 00:46:34,480
prior to us leaving for baikonur usually

1282
00:46:38,150 --> 00:46:35,920
two or three weeks prior to launch we'll

1283
00:46:42,390 --> 00:46:38,160
head down there and be in quarantine

1284
00:46:45,270 --> 00:46:44,150
any other questions here

1285
00:46:48,150 --> 00:46:45,280
yes sir

1286
00:46:50,790 --> 00:46:48,160
um this is a question for mr shane uh

1287
00:46:52,790 --> 00:46:50,800
what's your favorite part of your job

1288
00:46:54,309 --> 00:46:52,800
wow good question and i i tell you i

1289
00:46:56,150 --> 00:46:54,319
could say that right now or i could say

1290
00:46:58,710 --> 00:46:56,160
it in my previous job as well in the

1291
00:47:00,550 --> 00:46:58,720
army and it's it's all about the people

1292
00:47:02,790 --> 00:47:00,560
i get to i've gotten to work with

1293
00:47:04,870 --> 00:47:02,800
incredible people very diverse people

1294
00:47:06,470 --> 00:47:04,880
very different backgrounds

1295
00:47:08,230 --> 00:47:06,480
but everybody brings something to the

1296
00:47:09,589 --> 00:47:08,240
table that's what i've really learned

1297
00:47:11,910 --> 00:47:09,599
through my experience in the army as

1298
00:47:13,510 --> 00:47:11,920
well as here at nasa

1299
00:47:15,589 --> 00:47:13,520
everybody has something to add to the

1300
00:47:16,710 --> 00:47:15,599
team and we're all part of a team even

1301
00:47:18,390 --> 00:47:16,720
though the three of us are going to

1302
00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:18,400
launch on this spacecraft here in a few

1303
00:47:20,950 --> 00:47:19,280
months

1304
00:47:22,390 --> 00:47:20,960
we really have a team of thousands of

1305
00:47:24,710 --> 00:47:22,400
people that have trained us that have

1306
00:47:26,230 --> 00:47:24,720
gotten the spacecraft ready

1307
00:47:28,230 --> 00:47:26,240
that will be working our missions from

1308
00:47:29,829 --> 00:47:28,240
mission controls all around the world

1309
00:47:31,829 --> 00:47:29,839
while we're up there and they're all

1310
00:47:33,190 --> 00:47:31,839
part of the team just like we are

1311
00:47:35,910 --> 00:47:33,200
and everybody i've gotten to work with

1312
00:47:37,510 --> 00:47:35,920
is extremely motivated and dedicated to

1313
00:47:38,549 --> 00:47:37,520
making our mission successful so it's

1314
00:47:40,150 --> 00:47:38,559
pretty neat when you work in an

1315
00:47:41,750 --> 00:47:40,160
environment like that

1316
00:47:44,069 --> 00:47:41,760
that everybody is kind of making sure

1317
00:47:45,430 --> 00:47:44,079
that we're going to get back home safely

1318
00:47:47,430 --> 00:47:45,440
to our families

1319
00:47:49,510 --> 00:47:47,440
and friends and everybody's kind of

1320
00:47:51,270 --> 00:47:49,520
dedicated to mission success so i've

1321
00:47:52,630 --> 00:47:51,280
been very lucky to work with amazing

1322
00:47:54,069 --> 00:47:52,640
people

1323
00:47:55,030 --> 00:47:54,079
i absolutely agree with

1324
00:47:57,990 --> 00:47:55,040
shane

1325
00:47:59,990 --> 00:47:58,000
to work with different people in

1326
00:48:01,270 --> 00:48:00,000
several countries it's a very exciting

1327
00:48:03,589 --> 00:48:01,280
opportunity

1328
00:48:06,950 --> 00:48:03,599
and also for me

1329
00:48:08,710 --> 00:48:06,960
because i never have fluent space and

1330
00:48:11,270 --> 00:48:08,720
flown

1331
00:48:14,870 --> 00:48:12,630
i never flew

1332
00:48:17,430 --> 00:48:14,880
faster than

1333
00:48:22,630 --> 00:48:19,510
20 kilometers

1334
00:48:25,270 --> 00:48:22,640
and it's a great opportunity to

1335
00:48:25,990 --> 00:48:25,280
to payload a vehicle

1336
00:48:36,069 --> 00:48:26,000
to

1337
00:48:41,109 --> 00:48:36,079
okay it's controlled by me

1338
00:48:41,119 --> 00:48:44,870
with my crew members

1339
00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:46,390
i think we have time for a couple more

1340
00:48:54,150 --> 00:48:52,390
do we have any on social media haley

1341
00:48:55,990 --> 00:48:54,160
yeah so this is a very general one but i

1342
00:48:57,589 --> 00:48:56,000
think it's good obviously there's a lot

1343
00:49:00,230 --> 00:48:57,599
of training that goes into being an

1344
00:49:02,390 --> 00:49:00,240
astronaut and even back from uh this

1345
00:49:04,309 --> 00:49:02,400
person is really interested um how did

1346
00:49:05,750 --> 00:49:04,319
you motivate yourself to get through

1347
00:49:07,829 --> 00:49:05,760
school and all the classes you were

1348
00:49:09,990 --> 00:49:07,839
taking in college um did you have the

1349
00:49:12,230 --> 00:49:10,000
astronaut career in mind was that part

1350
00:49:14,710 --> 00:49:12,240
of what motivated you um

1351
00:49:16,549 --> 00:49:14,720
with all the classes you took in college

1352
00:49:18,390 --> 00:49:16,559
well i did want to be an astronaut since

1353
00:49:19,750 --> 00:49:18,400
i was a little kid um i can't say that

1354
00:49:22,390 --> 00:49:19,760
all through my schooling i was thinking

1355
00:49:26,150 --> 00:49:24,309
so i made the decision to go to west

1356
00:49:28,790 --> 00:49:26,160
point uh the united states military

1357
00:49:30,870 --> 00:49:28,800
academy at west point to be an engineer

1358
00:49:31,910 --> 00:49:30,880
there so when i made that decision even

1359
00:49:33,910 --> 00:49:31,920
though i wanted to be an astronaut my

1360
00:49:35,589 --> 00:49:33,920
whole life i thought that that dream was

1361
00:49:37,030 --> 00:49:35,599
kind of gone at that point because i was

1362
00:49:38,790 --> 00:49:37,040
like you have to go in the army and

1363
00:49:40,230 --> 00:49:38,800
serve in the army and that was fine i

1364
00:49:41,430 --> 00:49:40,240
was fine with it

1365
00:49:43,349 --> 00:49:41,440
little did i know you could be in the

1366
00:49:44,790 --> 00:49:43,359
army and be an astronaut so

1367
00:49:47,430 --> 00:49:44,800
i did realize that

1368
00:49:49,270 --> 00:49:47,440
after graduating from college and

1369
00:49:50,790 --> 00:49:49,280
then the kind of that dream came back of

1370
00:49:52,790 --> 00:49:50,800
all right let me see if i can can do

1371
00:49:54,710 --> 00:49:52,800
this i needed some more education and

1372
00:49:55,750 --> 00:49:54,720
the army was generous enough to provide

1373
00:49:57,750 --> 00:49:55,760
me

1374
00:49:59,109 --> 00:49:57,760
with all my education with the masters

1375
00:50:00,950 --> 00:49:59,119
and bachelor's degree engineering

1376
00:50:03,109 --> 00:50:00,960
degrees and

1377
00:50:04,630 --> 00:50:03,119
that all played into helping me be a

1378
00:50:05,670 --> 00:50:04,640
viable candidate for the astronaut

1379
00:50:11,670 --> 00:50:05,680
program

1380
00:50:17,829 --> 00:50:14,150
of selected the ground helps us

1381
00:50:22,790 --> 00:50:20,069
also

1382
00:50:29,670 --> 00:50:24,950
experience from our life because on

1383
00:50:31,589 --> 00:50:29,680
board we are going to be not only um

1384
00:50:35,349 --> 00:50:31,599
researchers and

1385
00:50:35,359 --> 00:50:38,069
electricians

1386
00:50:38,079 --> 00:50:52,150
and

1387
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:58,710
um

1388
00:51:03,990 --> 00:51:00,950
in terms of my education i'm an engineer

1389
00:51:05,670 --> 00:51:04,000
specializing in rocket building so all

1390
00:51:18,870 --> 00:51:05,680
of the knowledge that

1391
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:34,630
um

1392
00:51:38,549 --> 00:51:36,630
and on top of that the experience that i

1393
00:51:40,309 --> 00:51:38,559
gained at the mission control center

1394
00:51:42,630 --> 00:51:40,319
allows me to better understand what is

1395
00:51:44,950 --> 00:51:42,640
happening at the space vehicle or the

1396
00:51:46,710 --> 00:51:44,960
space station which helps in turn to

1397
00:51:48,549 --> 00:51:46,720
make the right decision

1398
00:51:49,910 --> 00:51:48,559
in an urgent situation

1399
00:51:51,670 --> 00:51:49,920
and to follow up a little bit i think

1400
00:51:53,430 --> 00:51:51,680
they're i don't know what the they were

1401
00:51:55,990 --> 00:51:53,440
getting at with the question but

1402
00:51:57,430 --> 00:51:56,000
um i'll just add this in case it's part

1403
00:51:59,190 --> 00:51:57,440
of it um

1404
00:52:00,870 --> 00:51:59,200
you know all of us did engineering but

1405
00:52:02,710 --> 00:52:00,880
had an engineering or science or math

1406
00:52:04,870 --> 00:52:02,720
backgrounds and that's true for all the

1407
00:52:06,630 --> 00:52:04,880
astronauts and cosmonauts

1408
00:52:08,950 --> 00:52:06,640
but we're not folks that just got

1409
00:52:11,670 --> 00:52:08,960
average grades okay you had to do really

1410
00:52:13,109 --> 00:52:11,680
well in whatever field you were pursuing

1411
00:52:14,710 --> 00:52:13,119
and that wasn't just in the classroom

1412
00:52:16,549 --> 00:52:14,720
it's also in your jobs when it went out

1413
00:52:17,589 --> 00:52:16,559
into the workplace so

1414
00:52:19,190 --> 00:52:17,599
if you're interested in this kind of

1415
00:52:21,589 --> 00:52:19,200
line of work you need to be doing really

1416
00:52:23,270 --> 00:52:21,599
well yeah and doing your best so that

1417
00:52:26,150 --> 00:52:23,280
others can see that and potentially

1418
00:52:29,910 --> 00:52:28,710
we have maybe one more from social media

1419
00:52:32,150 --> 00:52:29,920
yeah um

1420
00:52:34,150 --> 00:52:32,160
so this one is very specific but they've

1421
00:52:36,150 --> 00:52:34,160
heard a lot of astronauts mention it are

1422
00:52:37,829 --> 00:52:36,160
there certain smells you will miss about

1423
00:52:39,589 --> 00:52:37,839
the planet earth while you're in space

1424
00:52:40,950 --> 00:52:39,599
that's a good question yeah and i

1425
00:52:42,549 --> 00:52:40,960
thought about mentioning that earlier

1426
00:52:43,349 --> 00:52:42,559
when when jenny asked what i'm going to

1427
00:52:45,510 --> 00:52:43,359
miss

1428
00:52:46,390 --> 00:52:45,520
but yeah just the smells of earth and

1429
00:52:49,430 --> 00:52:46,400
kind of

1430
00:52:50,950 --> 00:52:49,440
fresh cut grass which i love and

1431
00:52:53,109 --> 00:52:50,960
you kind of miss that even being in the

1432
00:52:54,309 --> 00:52:53,119
mountains and smelling the mountain air

1433
00:52:56,230 --> 00:52:54,319
which we don't have around here but we

1434
00:52:58,870 --> 00:52:56,240
have that in the us and other places

1435
00:53:01,109 --> 00:52:58,880
around the earth but now i do think i'll

1436
00:53:02,710 --> 00:53:01,119
miss that um greatly because you're kind

1437
00:53:04,309 --> 00:53:02,720
of in a closed environment even though

1438
00:53:06,309 --> 00:53:04,319
we have a nice air conditioning system

1439
00:53:08,309 --> 00:53:06,319
and circulation system it's kind of

1440
00:53:10,309 --> 00:53:08,319
smells like a gem all the time you know

1441
00:53:17,190 --> 00:53:10,319
instead of fresh smells like you're used

1442
00:53:20,069 --> 00:53:19,030
i really looking forward

1443
00:53:21,750 --> 00:53:20,079
for

1444
00:53:24,150 --> 00:53:21,760
cockpit smells

1445
00:53:25,349 --> 00:53:24,160
vehicle smells

1446
00:53:49,510 --> 00:53:25,359
i'm rookie and

1447
00:53:53,670 --> 00:53:52,230
when we last returned on the soyuz and

1448
00:53:54,790 --> 00:53:53,680
we opened the hatch of the descent

1449
00:53:57,670 --> 00:53:54,800
module

1450
00:53:59,510 --> 00:53:57,680
i felt the smell of the step the warm

1451
00:54:03,030 --> 00:53:59,520
grass and then i realized that that's

1452
00:54:04,549 --> 00:54:03,040
probably the smell that i missed most

1453
00:54:06,390 --> 00:54:04,559
well thank you gentlemen for being here

1454
00:54:08,870 --> 00:54:06,400
