ugh

6
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:23,030
um

7
00:02:53,599 --> 00:03:20,149
imminently

8
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:34,149
missions

9
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:52,869
oh

10
00:03:52,879 --> 00:04:20,229
yes

you look good

12
00:05:26,950 --> 00:04:56,550
um

13
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:26,960
space

14
00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:29,440
so that makes you the first norman to

15
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:57,430
everything goes planned

16
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:39,350
one two three four

17
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:57,510
come forward turn around

18
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:14,469
okay

19
00:07:14,479 --> 00:07:31,029
mickey

20
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:56,230
okay

21
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:26,790
initiated

22
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:51,430
everything is

23
00:08:51,440 --> 00:09:03,990
copy

24
00:09:07,829 --> 00:09:05,750
nasa administrator charles bolden

25
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:07,839
charlie a thunderous start to this

26
00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:10,800
flight for whitson vasquez novitskiy

27
00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:14,000
your thoughts uh on all of this that has

28
00:09:18,070 --> 00:09:16,320
come about over the past few weeks two

29
00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:18,080
launches and a landing and the whole

30
00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:19,920
theme of international cooperation at

31
00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:21,920
this point i think this was a perfect

32
00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:22,800
evening

33
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:24,720
when we talk about the journey to mars

34
00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:26,800
and the way we're bringing nations of

35
00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:28,560
the world together

36
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:30,320
this is the epitome of that as you have

37
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:33,040
said it shows how we through cooperation

38
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:34,720
international cooperation we're able to

39
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:36,640
do things that sometimes people might

40
00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:38,880
think is next to impossible to get done

41
00:09:43,269 --> 00:09:41,680
so it's a great great night uh a great

42
00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:43,279
victory for the international space

43
00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:45,200
station and getting uh three more crew

44
00:09:48,470 --> 00:09:46,720
members up there and we're ready they're

45
00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:48,480
ready to go they're pumped

46
00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:50,640
this stocking of this crew will occur on

47
00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:52,640
the 18th anniversary of the first

48
00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:54,640
element launch of the station

49
00:09:59,509 --> 00:09:57,200
how far has this complex come from

50
00:10:01,110 --> 00:09:59,519
fledgling modules to where it is today

51
00:10:03,990 --> 00:10:01,120
well i think if you look back and you

52
00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:04,000
and i were there so uh you were you were

53
00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:05,600
in the media at the time but you will

54
00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:07,120
remember people said this couldn't be

55
00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:10,480
done that it was too eva intensive uh it

56
00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:13,440
was just too much work and over the 10

57
00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:14,880
years that it took us to complete

58
00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:17,920
station i think it says what what again

59
00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:20,800
an international team that's set on a

60
00:10:23,829 --> 00:10:21,680
mission

61
00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:23,839
can do when they when they focus on that

62
00:10:27,030 --> 00:10:25,600
mission and and when they get the kind

63
00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:27,040
of support that we've gotten through the

64
00:10:31,829 --> 00:10:30,160
years this is the 16th year now for

65
00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:31,839
people living and working off this

66
00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:32,880
planet

67
00:10:37,430 --> 00:10:35,440
no matter what's going on down here

68
00:10:40,310 --> 00:10:37,440
the crews and the flight control teams

69
00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:40,320
manage to focus on their tasks and get

70
00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:41,839
everything done and we live in a totally

71
00:10:44,829 --> 00:10:43,200
different world when we're on the

72
00:10:47,509 --> 00:10:44,839
international space

73
00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:47,519
station kirk shireman iss program

74
00:10:50,949 --> 00:10:49,279
manager kirk

75
00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:50,959
quite a start uh

76
00:10:54,790 --> 00:10:52,640
to the expansion of the station crew

77
00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:54,800
back to six people your thoughts on the

78
00:10:58,389 --> 00:10:56,800
significance of this launch and what has

79
00:11:00,150 --> 00:10:58,399
been accomplished

80
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:00,160
in support of station operations over

81
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:01,920
the past four weeks

82
00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:03,440
uh first of all it's a beautiful launch

83
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:05,600
tonight very very clear skies we could

84
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:08,000
see the the vehicle all the way through

85
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:09,839
into the third stage it's the one of the

86
00:11:13,670 --> 00:11:11,920
best i've ever seen so very exciting

87
00:11:15,670 --> 00:11:13,680
we're looking forward to having peggy

88
00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:15,680
thomas and oleg back up on the space

89
00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:19,120
station um lots of work to be done uh

90
00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:20,959
we'll be undocking a cygnus here just in

91
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:22,640
a few days and then a progress will

92
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:24,720
launch from the same uh cosmodrome here

93
00:11:29,350 --> 00:11:27,200
on december first so lots of work uh to

94
00:11:31,110 --> 00:11:29,360
be done and the amazing thing is all the

95
00:11:33,269 --> 00:11:31,120
work that's been done just in the past

96
00:11:36,630 --> 00:11:33,279
uh few days we've had a landing we've

97
00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:36,640
had uh shane and his crew went up to iss

98
00:11:40,790 --> 00:11:38,480
so a tremendous number of vehicles

99
00:11:42,389 --> 00:11:40,800
coming going to the iss and lots of work

100
00:11:44,949 --> 00:11:42,399
for these crew to do

101
00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:44,959
how about the significance of the pace

102
00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:46,079
of the work

103
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:48,800
and and what is being accomplished up on

104
00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:51,120
station during this busy time

105
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:52,720
what's amazing to me is that in the

106
00:11:55,430 --> 00:11:54,560
midst of all these vehicles coming and

107
00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:55,440
going

108
00:11:58,870 --> 00:11:57,120
doing some major repairs on the space

109
00:12:01,110 --> 00:11:58,880
station we just had an oxygen system

110
00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:01,120
that was recovered by shane

111
00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:02,880
on orbit we're still doing a tremendous

112
00:12:07,509 --> 00:12:05,040
amount of research this last crew

113
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:07,519
averaged over 45 hours a week

114
00:12:12,069 --> 00:12:08,320
of

115
00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:12,079
research and this crew has over 304

116
00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:14,480
investigations to do 89 of which have

117
00:12:18,710 --> 00:12:16,800
never been done on space station so in

118
00:12:20,069 --> 00:12:18,720
the midst of vehicles coming and going a

119
00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:20,079
tremendous amount of research still

120
00:12:27,190 --> 00:12:24,230
this is the sixth asteroid of the class

121
00:12:29,190 --> 00:12:27,200
of 2009 now in space what does it mean

122
00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:29,200
for you as a issa director for human

123
00:12:32,550 --> 00:12:30,560
spaceflight well the first thing is

124
00:12:34,389 --> 00:12:32,560
we've just witnessed an amazing night

125
00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:34,399
launch taking tomorrow pesquet up

126
00:12:38,310 --> 00:12:35,920
towards the international space station

127
00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:38,320
real dock very shortly but it's really

128
00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:40,160
important because it's the the end of

129
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:42,079
the first set of flights for this set of

130
00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:44,320
six astronauts but the beginning of the

131
00:12:48,069 --> 00:12:46,399
next period of science and technology

132
00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:48,079
aboard the space station that will

133
00:12:52,710 --> 00:12:50,160
really bring knowledge and

134
00:12:55,110 --> 00:12:52,720
skills back to planet earth but also

135
00:12:57,509 --> 00:12:55,120
prepare us for going to beyond going

136
00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:57,519
back into deep space taking us on a

137
00:13:01,430 --> 00:12:59,920
journey towards the planets and that

138
00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:01,440
combination of science and technology is

139
00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:03,360
what's so exciting about human space

140
00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:04,320
flight

141
00:13:09,350 --> 00:13:06,480
with thomas now in space and paul

142
00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:09,360
nespoli uh also a visa is going to space

143
00:13:13,670 --> 00:13:11,120
in six months that's the beginning of

144
00:13:14,949 --> 00:13:13,680
one year of presence of issa on board

145
00:13:17,110 --> 00:13:14,959
the international space station what

146
00:13:19,030 --> 00:13:17,120
does it mean for izani's ambitious

147
00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:19,040
exploration program it's really

148
00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:21,040
important to develop all the skills and

149
00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:22,959
knowledge to prepare us for our

150
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:25,040
long-term vision of space exploration

151
00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:26,720
we're going to stay in low earth orbit

152
00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:28,720
doing science and technology but the

153
00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:31,120
preparation that we need to go further

154
00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:33,680
out so it's the skills we'll gain it's
