megan

64
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:09,360
uh first i just want to thank everyone

65
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:11,920
that's joining us today and i'd like to

66
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:13,680
just start off with a few thoughts uh

67
00:03:16,149 --> 00:03:14,720
first

68
00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:16,159
crew one is ready

69
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:18,080
uh you know we've didn't become a full

70
00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:20,400
crew until actually uh late february

71
00:03:26,149 --> 00:03:24,000
early march and uh and and since that

72
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,159
time the crew and the entire training

73
00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:28,480
team has done an amazing job of getting

74
00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:30,480
us ready and to this point

75
00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:32,560
uh it certainly helps when you when you

76
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:34,400
uh have a short timeline like this that

77
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:36,159
you add experienced crew members and and

78
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:39,280
certainly uh suici and shannon they fall

79
00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:41,760
into that into that category uh so i'm

80
00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:43,920
very excited to be sitting here next to

81
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:46,400
victor shannon and suici we've had a lot

82
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:49,360
of fun in our training and uh and not

83
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:51,120
only are they great astronauts but

84
00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:53,280
they're they're also great people

85
00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:55,439
second i'd like to thank our families

86
00:04:00,070 --> 00:03:57,360
space flight training for space flight

87
00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:00,080
can be uh very difficult challenging uh

88
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,799
for for the families and this year has

89
00:04:06,869 --> 00:04:04,560
has added a few extra challenges if you

90
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:06,879
will and our families have done a great

91
00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,720
job they've been

92
00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:10,239
very supportive throughout all of this

93
00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:11,599
and so i think all of us are very

94
00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:14,000
grateful to get to share this experience

95
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:15,920
with with our families

96
00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:17,919
third you heard megan mentioned that our

97
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:21,280
launch is now on the 31st of october and

98
00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:23,040
so that is a slip of a little over a

99
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:25,919
week since uh from the 23rd of october

100
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:27,440
you know the crew actually doesn't have

101
00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:29,120
a lot of control over the launch dates

102
00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:31,360
uh but what we do have a control on is

103
00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:33,600
is our readiness and so we're going to

104
00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:35,600
uh work very closely with our training

105
00:04:39,749 --> 00:04:37,440
team with our with our leadership team

106
00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:39,759
and make sure uh we're maintaining our

107
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:41,680
readiness uh as we as we work through

108
00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:44,160
these slips to to the launch date

109
00:04:48,070 --> 00:04:46,479
and then finally i just wanted to uh to

110
00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:48,080
say thank you thank you to all the

111
00:04:52,469 --> 00:04:51,120
people at spacex at nasa around this

112
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:52,479
country and around the world that have

113
00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:54,320
helped us get to this point it's it is

114
00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:58,000
very exciting to be a part of a new era

115
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:00,639
in the human space flight program where

116
00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:02,560
we're using commercial companies now to

117
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:04,479
get us to the international space

118
00:05:08,950 --> 00:05:06,800
station i think for all of us we feel

119
00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:08,960
very privileged and very humbled to play

120
00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:12,000
a small part in that victor yeah and

121
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:13,520
before we get started i just wanted to

122
00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:16,160
briefly just also express some gratitude

123
00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:17,520

their love and support and for all of

126
00:05:23,909 --> 00:05:22,560
the nasa and spacex folks and to our

127
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:23,919
partners all over the globe that have

128
00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:26,160
gotten us to this point uh amidst this

129
00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:28,320
global pandemic uh thank you so much for

130
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:29,919
for all that you've done

00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:31,680
with that i'll hand it off to suicide

00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:34,960
i'm very happy to be here as a part of

134
00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:36,000
this

135
00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:40,160
flight for the operation to the

136
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:43,280
returners and space station and my my

137
00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:45,120
heart's off to the all the nasa team

138
00:05:50,790 --> 00:05:47,919
manchester team and the spacex team to

139
00:06:05,430 --> 00:05:50,800
make this mission successful

140
00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:07,590
um so

141
00:06:11,110 --> 00:06:09,280
again i just want to echo my crewmates

142
00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:11,120
and saying thank you to all the people

143
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:13,919
that have made this flight possible um

144
00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:15,520
as mike said we joined a little bit

145
00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:17,360
later soichi and i so it's been a very

146
00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:20,000
intense six months worth of training but

147
00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:22,240
we are ready and i am very excited to

148
00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:25,120
get back to the space station

149
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:27,280
thanks everyone all right let's go back

150
00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:29,120
to mike i think you have a special

151
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:30,479
update for us

152
00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:32,720
that's right megan so

153
00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:34,080
you know before we get started with the

154
00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:35,440
questions we did have one more

155
00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:37,919
announcement that we wanted to make so

156
00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:39,600
as most of you are probably aware

157
00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:41,440
shortly after getting on orbit for the

158
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,639
dm2 mission uh doug and bob

159
00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:46,479
announced the name of their vehicle

160
00:06:51,350 --> 00:06:49,280
endeavor and so we think that's a a

161
00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:51,360
great tradition and we're uh we're

162
00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:52,960
excited about the opportunity to name

163
00:06:57,270 --> 00:06:55,599
our vehicle however uh rather than wait

164
00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:57,280
until we got on orbit we thought we

165
00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:00,080
would share that with you today

166
00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:02,400
so without further ado the the crew one

167
00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:05,039
dragon capsule number two zero seven

168
00:07:07,749 --> 00:07:06,800
will henceforth be known by the call

169
00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:07,759
sign

170
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:09,120
resilience

171
00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:11,520
uh so as you look at the definition of

172
00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:14,000
resilience uh you know that means uh

173
00:07:18,790 --> 00:07:16,639
functioning well in times of stress or

174
00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:18,800
overcoming adverse events and and so i

175
00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:21,440
think all of us can agree that 2020 has

176
00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:23,919
certainly been a a challenging year

177
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:27,520
global pandemic economic hardships

178
00:07:31,909 --> 00:07:30,720
civil unrest isolation and despite all

179
00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:31,919
of that

180
00:07:37,110 --> 00:07:35,120
spacex nasa has kept the production line

181
00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:37,120
open and finished this amazing vehicle

182
00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:39,120
that's getting ready to go on its maiden

183
00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:40,720
flight to the international space

184
00:07:46,230 --> 00:07:43,199
station and so the name resilience

185
00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:46,240
is is really in honor of the spacex and

186
00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:48,800
the nasa teams and quite frankly it's in

187
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:50,720
honor of our families of our colleagues

188
00:07:54,869 --> 00:07:53,120
of our fellow citizens of uh our

189
00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:54,879
international partners and our leaders

190
00:07:58,230 --> 00:07:56,080
that have all

191
00:08:00,150 --> 00:07:58,240
shown that same that same quality same

192
00:08:01,430 --> 00:08:00,160
characteristics through these difficult

193
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:01,440
times

194
00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:02,960
if if you look at our patch you'll

195
00:08:07,189 --> 00:08:05,280
notice that um on the border there's no

196
00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:07,199
names there's no flags and that was by

197
00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:09,520
design because that patch it doesn't

198
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:11,360
just represent the four of us but it

199
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,440
really represents the countless people

200
00:08:17,270 --> 00:08:15,440
that have contributed to to getting the

201
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:17,280
vehicle ready and getting us ready for

202
00:08:21,990 --> 00:08:18,800
this mission and so

203
00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:22,000
uh the that same theme applies to the

204
00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:24,240
the name of this vehicle resilience it

205
00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:26,800
is not just a connection for the four of

206
00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:29,360
us but we really feel like it is a a

207
00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:32,320
connection to all of you to everybody uh

208
00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:34,560
we hope that it brings a smile to your

209
00:08:38,949 --> 00:08:37,120
face i hope we hope that it uh provides

210
00:08:40,310 --> 00:08:38,959
something positive in your lives and

211
00:08:41,829 --> 00:08:40,320
quite frankly we hope that it's an

212
00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:41,839
inspiration

213
00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:43,839
that uh that it shows

214
00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:46,000
uh when you work together uh there's no

215
00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:48,320
limit to what you can achieve so uh with

216
00:08:52,470 --> 00:08:50,720
that uh the name brazilians we're all

217
00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:52,480
very excited about but uh we're ready

218
00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:55,120
for questions good words

219
00:08:59,030 --> 00:08:56,720
that's awesome thank you so much for

220
00:09:01,350 --> 00:08:59,040
sharing that um now we'll get on to some

221
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:01,360
questions let's start with marcia dunn

222
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:03,920
with associated press

223
00:09:08,150 --> 00:09:06,160
yes hi i suppose this question's for one

224
00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:08,160
of the two pilots

225
00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:10,080
do you consider i know this is the first

226
00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:11,839
operational mission but do you also see

227
00:09:16,150 --> 00:09:13,839
it as sort of a a

228
00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:16,160
truncated test flight if you will since

229
00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:18,240
you're only the second flight and by

230
00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:20,399
operational do you think that implies

231
00:09:25,269 --> 00:09:23,360
that this is becoming routine a dragon's

232
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:25,279
flying cruise and talk a little bit

233
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:27,760
about some of the safety upgrades made

234
00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:29,760
from the first mission et cetera thanks

235
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:31,040
so much

236
00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:33,040
yeah you bet i'll start off and i'll let

237
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:35,600
ike uh uh time in as well but you know

238
00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:37,920
with space flight unfortunately there's

239
00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:40,480
usually nothing routine about it um

240
00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:42,080
you know you do sometimes get into a

241
00:09:45,829 --> 00:09:43,920
rhythm with it but it's always a very

242
00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:45,839
dangerous business and

243
00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:47,440
and so uh you know you always have to

244
00:09:53,269 --> 00:09:50,399
take that very seriously uh certainly um

245
00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:53,279
you know the dm2 mission was the the

246
00:09:58,150 --> 00:09:55,600
official demonstration uh test flight of

247
00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:58,160
this vehicle however we are going to see

248
00:10:01,829 --> 00:10:00,000
a lot of firsts uh when we get up there

249
00:10:03,829 --> 00:10:01,839
and fly uh it's the first time we're

250
00:10:06,550 --> 00:10:03,839
taking four crew on board and so that

251
00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:06,560
puts uh more challenges on the

252
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:08,800
environmental control systems and and

253
00:10:12,790 --> 00:10:10,640
things of that nature it's going to stay

254
00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:12,800
up there for six months versus two

255
00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:14,160
months and and so we're still going to

256
00:10:18,470 --> 00:10:16,640
be learning about things

257
00:10:20,949 --> 00:10:18,480
regarding time and space and the impacts

258
00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:20,959
of that that environment and so we

259
00:10:24,310 --> 00:10:22,720
recognize that it is

260
00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:24,320
a certified vehicle but we also

261
00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:26,320
recognize that there's going to be

262
00:10:29,910 --> 00:10:28,320
some new features and i'll let ike talk

263
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:29,920
about some of those new capabilities

264
00:10:32,790 --> 00:10:30,640
that

265
00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:32,800
we will potentially be demonstrating

266
00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:34,800
while we're on board absolutely so our

267
00:10:39,030 --> 00:10:37,120
vehicle has new hardware uh for example

268
00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:39,040
we are a little more robust to uh the

269
00:10:42,949 --> 00:10:41,040
loads that splashdown we also have new

270
00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:42,959
software that enables us to undock from

271
00:10:47,190 --> 00:10:44,880
one docking port say the forward docking

272
00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:47,200
port and then reposition to the zenith

273
00:10:51,190 --> 00:10:49,440
the one that's on top um we also have

274
00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:51,200
floor crew as mike mentioned earlier all

275
00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:53,440
of those things are our features that we

276
00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:55,440
will be exercising for the first time

277
00:10:58,069 --> 00:10:56,959
um but also

278
00:10:59,110 --> 00:10:58,079
um

279
00:11:05,829 --> 00:10:59,120
the

280
00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:05,839
test mission our mission is like an

281
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:07,760
operational test mission so as soon as

282
00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:09,839
we hit day 64 that's going to be the

283
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:11,279
first time a crew dragon at the space

284
00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:12,640
station has reached that milestone and

285
00:11:18,069 --> 00:11:14,560
then every day after that will be will

286
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:20,389
question let's go to lauren gresh with

287
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:25,910
hi thank you so much uh this my question

288
00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:28,240
is for the american astronauts uh you're

289
00:11:33,269 --> 00:11:30,480
currently slated to fly right before a

290
00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:33,279
very big election and uh your fellow

291
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:35,200
astronaut kate rubin says she plans to

292
00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:37,040
vote from space i'm curious if you'll be

293
00:11:41,990 --> 00:11:39,120
doing the same or if you will be early

294
00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:42,000
voting just in case

295
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:42,880
um

296
00:11:46,949 --> 00:11:44,480
all of us are planning on voting from

297
00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:46,959
space uh nasa works very well with the

298
00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:49,440
different election um

299
00:11:52,550 --> 00:11:50,880
organizations because we're all voting

300
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:52,560
in different from different counties but

301
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:54,959
uh it was easiest for us just to say we

302
00:11:58,629 --> 00:11:56,160
were going to vote for space so that's

303
00:12:00,790 --> 00:11:58,639
what we're going to do

304
00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:00,800
all right let's go to michael sheets

305
00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:07,190
hi all i you all come from very very

306
00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:09,120
different backgrounds both in terms of

307
00:12:13,030 --> 00:12:10,959
your experiences

308
00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:13,040
with space flights some you know

309
00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:15,920
victories your first uh

310
00:12:19,509 --> 00:12:17,279
your third

311
00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:19,519
i'm curious as you guys have gotten to

312
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:21,279
jail as a team what what is that

313
00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:24,000
experience like uh getting no one in one

314
00:12:29,430 --> 00:12:25,760
another in the last few months as well

315
00:12:31,829 --> 00:12:29,440
as uh wrapping up your training together

316
00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:31,839
you know i'll start off with that um and

317
00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:34,000
then maybe i'll let the uh the guy

318
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:35,440
that's uh getting ready for his third

319
00:12:41,590 --> 00:12:38,880
space flight add to it but uh you know

320
00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:41,600
that has been what's made this this crew

321
00:12:45,910 --> 00:12:44,079
i think so special uh you know you look

322
00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:45,920
at victor and and yeah this is his first

323
00:12:49,509 --> 00:12:47,839
flight but he brings a wealth of

324
00:12:52,389 --> 00:12:49,519
experience operational experience with

325
00:12:54,069 --> 00:12:52,399
the navy to the table and and so you

326
00:12:56,069 --> 00:12:54,079
know it doesn't matter that he's as a

327
00:12:56,949 --> 00:12:56,079
rookie from space flight perspective he

328
00:13:01,670 --> 00:12:56,959
he

329
00:13:03,670 --> 00:13:01,680
i really rely on his advice uh you know

330
00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:03,680
shannon has has flown before she's been

331
00:13:07,269 --> 00:13:05,040
around nasa

332
00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:07,279
for uh for quite a while here at johnson

333
00:13:10,389 --> 00:13:08,480
space center

334
00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:10,399
and it's the same kind of thing right

335
00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:12,320
that that bringing that experience to

336
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:14,880
the table uh both she and suici have

337
00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:17,440
trained as a left seat flyer on the

338
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:19,200
soyuz and so even though in this

339
00:13:22,710 --> 00:13:20,880
particular capsule

340
00:13:24,550 --> 00:13:22,720
they don't have access to all of the

341
00:13:25,990 --> 00:13:24,560
controls all the displays like victor

342
00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:26,000
and i do

343
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:27,680
we still take advantage of their

344
00:13:30,629 --> 00:13:29,360
experience of their advice of the you

345
00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:30,639
know sometimes they're sitting there and

346
00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:32,000
they see things

347
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:34,000
that victor and i may not see because

348
00:13:38,949 --> 00:13:36,480
we're we're busy on the displays and so

349
00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:38,959
uh the the opportunity to to take

350
00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:41,519
advantage of that experience has has

351
00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:43,120
really been helpful and then you know

352
00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:44,800
the last thing i would say

353
00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:46,560
is that

354
00:13:50,389 --> 00:13:48,399
you know one of the advantages i think

355
00:13:53,430 --> 00:13:50,399
of of this pandemic and how we've been

356
00:13:55,189 --> 00:13:53,440
training is when we go out to to spacex

357
00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:55,199
for example and train out there we have

358
00:14:00,470 --> 00:13:59,199
been together um for for 24 hours a day

359
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:00,480
and uh

360
00:14:03,750 --> 00:14:02,560
and that gives you they're so they're

361
00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:03,760
laughing but that gives you an

362
00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:04,880
opportunity

363
00:14:08,470 --> 00:14:06,720
um to get to know each other outside of

364
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:08,480
the workplace too and so we've shared a

365
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:10,160
lot of nights sitting around the dinner

366
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:12,720
table and talking about uh things other

367
00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:14,240
than space flight and and that's been

368
00:14:17,829 --> 00:14:16,639
very helpful as well yeah switch i don't

369
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:17,839
know if you want to add anything in

370
00:14:22,150 --> 00:14:20,000
terms of uh your third space flight yeah

371
00:14:25,269 --> 00:14:22,160
actually uh you know for this training

372
00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:25,279
flow both uh hopper and ike started like

373
00:14:29,750 --> 00:14:26,880
two years ago they didn't know the

374
00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:29,760
spacex system inside out and shannon and

375
00:14:35,269 --> 00:14:32,480
i joined like last february march so

376
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:35,279
it's relatively short but the the

377
00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:37,120
important thing is all of us kind of

378
00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:39,120
contribute to this wonderful team

379
00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:40,639
everybody's bringing something to the

380
00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:44,720
table and shannon and i have a luxury of

381
00:14:50,470 --> 00:14:48,000
flying and soyuz and hopper as well and

382
00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:50,480
also cherished ike's test pilot

383
00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:53,199
background we really expect his input so

384
00:14:58,389 --> 00:14:55,279
all of us this diversity definitely

385
00:15:00,470 --> 00:14:58,399
brings the team's resilience as well so

386
00:15:02,790 --> 00:15:00,480
uh this is the one for all four one

387
00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:02,800
that's come from shanna but definitely

388
00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:04,320
the four of us contributed to the

389
00:15:07,910 --> 00:15:06,560
wonderful team of this school one you

390
00:15:10,150 --> 00:15:07,920
know and if i could add one little short

391
00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:10,160
thing we have i think captured the best

392
00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:12,399
of the training from the soyuz uh

393
00:15:16,870 --> 00:15:14,560
training flow and the the shuttle flow

394
00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:16,880
where you had a bigger crew and and to

395
00:15:20,790 --> 00:15:18,560
really see the best of both worlds i

396
00:15:23,350 --> 00:15:20,800
think is made it special and we have a a

397
00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:23,360
ton of fun training together

398
00:15:29,430 --> 00:15:26,000
awesome okay let's go to bill harwood

399
00:15:32,870 --> 00:15:31,269
hey thank you this is for shannon would

400
00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:32,880
you uh we've heard this in earlier

401
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:35,120
briefings but from the crew talk about

402
00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:37,680
the value of having at least four

403
00:15:41,910 --> 00:15:40,000
us os crew members on board the iss at

404
00:15:43,749 --> 00:15:41,920
the same time in terms of increasing

405
00:15:45,030 --> 00:15:43,759
scientific productivity how big of a

406
00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:45,040
milestone

407
00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:47,279
uh is that to the research community and

408
00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:49,040
then a second really quick question can

409
00:15:55,670 --> 00:15:52,720
someone explain ike's nickname thanks

410
00:15:57,670 --> 00:15:55,680
well we'll let ike explain his nickname

411
00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:57,680
um but in terms of having more people in

412
00:16:00,629 --> 00:15:59,199
the station so by the time we get up

413
00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:00,639
there kate will already be there so

414
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:03,600
we'll have five uh people on the usos

415
00:16:07,509 --> 00:16:05,600
side as as uh we call our half of the

416
00:16:10,150 --> 00:16:07,519
space station and so it is huge the

417
00:16:11,590 --> 00:16:10,160
amount of research that we can get done

418
00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:11,600
and the science that we can get done

419
00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:14,320
with just uh one or two more people

420
00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:16,399
is is more than just one or two more

421
00:16:20,949 --> 00:16:18,720
people's worth of of science and you

422
00:16:23,590 --> 00:16:20,959
also have the luxury of

423
00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:23,600
a regular-sized crew say a crew of three

424
00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:25,680
which may only be two us os or three

425
00:16:29,910 --> 00:16:28,720
usos people uh still work on science

426
00:16:31,910 --> 00:16:29,920
while you're doing other things with the

427
00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:31,920
space station be it maintenance or or

428
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:33,680
other items that need to be taken care

429
00:16:37,829 --> 00:16:35,920
of and so the ability for us to

430
00:16:40,389 --> 00:16:37,839
accomplish whatever needs to be

431
00:16:44,629 --> 00:16:40,399
accomplished goes way high with more

432
00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:46,710
okay so it's an acronym it stands for i

433
00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:49,680
know everything and the short story is

434
00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:52,079
it is a reminder to never pass up an

435
00:16:55,749 --> 00:16:53,759
opportunity to keep my mouth shut and

436
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:55,759
i'll start now

437
00:16:59,030 --> 00:16:57,170
and he knows everything about it

438
00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:59,040
[Laughter]

439
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:01,759
very nice all right let's go on to david

440
00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:05,839
curley with discovery channel

441
00:17:12,309 --> 00:17:08,160
thanks for taking the call everybody uh

442
00:17:14,150 --> 00:17:12,319
to mike and victor ike go mustangs uh

443
00:17:16,470 --> 00:17:14,160
can you talk to us a little bit about

444
00:17:18,870 --> 00:17:16,480
the issue with the

445
00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:18,880
heat shield and the tiles and are you

446
00:17:22,549 --> 00:17:21,039
comfortable with the fix that everyone

447
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:22,559
else seems to be comfortable with thank

448
00:17:26,789 --> 00:17:23,520
you

449
00:17:29,190 --> 00:17:26,799
so actually

450
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:29,200
all four of us have have been following

451
00:17:33,270 --> 00:17:31,760
very closely the the issues with the

452
00:17:36,470 --> 00:17:33,280
heat shield that were discovered during

453
00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:36,480
the dm2 mission uh and and again we've

454
00:17:40,150 --> 00:17:38,080
we've hit on this earlier but i would

455
00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:40,160
say this is another example of why the

456
00:17:43,190 --> 00:17:42,240
experience that we bring to this uh this

457
00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:43,200
crew

458
00:17:47,350 --> 00:17:45,280
uh and and not i can i in this

459
00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:47,360
particular case but you know suici was

460
00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:49,440
on the the return to flight shuttle

461
00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:51,440
mission after after columbia shannon's

462
00:17:57,029 --> 00:17:54,080
husband was was on that mission as well

463
00:17:59,909 --> 00:17:57,039
and and so they have brought um a lot to

464
00:18:02,230 --> 00:17:59,919
the table um having lived through that

465
00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:02,240
after after columbia so i would i would

466
00:18:07,590 --> 00:18:04,799
say yes we are following it very closely

467
00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:07,600
but i would also say uh there is an

468
00:18:11,669 --> 00:18:08,960
amazing team that has been brought

469
00:18:13,830 --> 00:18:11,679
together to work this issue and we are

470
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:13,840
confident in this team and and their

471
00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:16,640
ability to find the the right solutions

472
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:18,320
yeah

473
00:18:26,710 --> 00:18:21,360
thanks let's go to marina coron with the

474
00:18:30,950 --> 00:18:29,029
um so there's a sense of ceremony around

475
00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:30,960
breakfast on launch day and a public

476
00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:32,559
interest in that tradition that goes

477
00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:34,960
back to the apollo days have you thought

478
00:18:38,549 --> 00:18:36,400
yet about what you'd like to eat for

479
00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:38,559
breakfast that day which i guess now is

480
00:18:44,789 --> 00:18:40,840
actually going to be more of a midnight

481
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:49,029
i'm not sure that's a good idea

482
00:18:53,430 --> 00:18:51,669
you know actually we we had a one of our

483
00:18:54,870 --> 00:18:53,440
first meetings today just on what that

484
00:18:57,350 --> 00:18:54,880
schedule was going to look like and so a

485
00:19:00,310 --> 00:18:57,360
lot of those little details uh in terms

486
00:19:02,070 --> 00:19:00,320
of what we're going to eat and and when

487
00:19:03,669 --> 00:19:02,080
we're going to have that meal

488
00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:03,679
we're still we're still working through

489
00:19:06,789 --> 00:19:05,520
those but

490
00:19:10,310 --> 00:19:06,799
i have no doubt that we're going to be

491
00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:10,320
well fed the team down at at ksc in fact

492
00:19:13,350 --> 00:19:12,320
actually the team here at johnson space

493
00:19:15,909 --> 00:19:13,360
center because we'll go into a

494
00:19:18,710 --> 00:19:15,919
quarantine period uh before we even even

495
00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:18,720
leave for the cape and and so uh the the

496
00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:20,160
meals that we'll have here and the meals

497
00:19:24,150 --> 00:19:21,919
that we have down there i know are going

498
00:19:26,150 --> 00:19:24,160
to be absolutely fantastic one thing i

499
00:19:28,630 --> 00:19:26,160
can quickly add is uh ike earlier i

500
00:19:30,390 --> 00:19:28,640
mentioned we are taking the good piece

501
00:19:32,310 --> 00:19:30,400
from the shadow side and the russian

502
00:19:34,710 --> 00:19:32,320
soyuz side we're picking a

503
00:19:37,029 --> 00:19:34,720
good tradition the breakfast is one

504
00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:37,039
thing we're starting to talk about the

505
00:19:41,750 --> 00:19:39,600
last final two weeks on the ground and

506
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:41,760
we're starting to pick some of the good

507
00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:44,160
tradition we like from the soyuz side

508
00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:46,400
and we're trying to keep the other good

509
00:19:49,909 --> 00:19:48,240
side from the shuttle side so we can

510
00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:49,919
enjoy the best

511
00:19:54,950 --> 00:19:52,720
side of those two walls and we can start

512
00:19:56,070 --> 00:19:54,960
a new transition

513
00:19:58,150 --> 00:19:56,080
awesome

514
00:20:01,990 --> 00:19:58,160
okay let's go to

515
00:20:05,990 --> 00:20:03,909
hi thanks so much

516
00:20:08,870 --> 00:20:06,000
to my questions for the three american

517
00:20:10,870 --> 00:20:08,880
astronauts uh so y'all are flying to

518
00:20:12,710 --> 00:20:10,880
space at a somewhat fraught time with

519
00:20:14,870 --> 00:20:12,720
the ongoing pandemic and protests around

520
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:14,880
the country like you mentioned like um

521
00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:17,360
i'm curious what you you all see as your

522
00:20:23,110 --> 00:20:19,840
role as astronauts within that broader

523
00:20:25,270 --> 00:20:23,120
context thanks very much

524
00:20:26,390 --> 00:20:25,280
uh you all start i mean i think i think

525
00:20:28,390 --> 00:20:26,400
uh

526
00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:28,400
i think what we can show or demonstrate

527
00:20:32,630 --> 00:20:30,880
actually all four of us is uh just the

528
00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:32,640
the unity and

529
00:20:36,630 --> 00:20:34,480
and the fact that it doesn't matter

530
00:20:38,789 --> 00:20:36,640
what background you come from but when

531
00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:38,799
you all work together uh again as i

532
00:20:41,110 --> 00:20:40,000
mentioned not only in the name of

533
00:20:43,110 --> 00:20:41,120
resilience but when you all come

534
00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:43,120
together you can uh you can do some

535
00:20:47,029 --> 00:20:45,120
amazing things and so i do find it

536
00:20:49,190 --> 00:20:47,039
interesting you know we've all started

537
00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:49,200
at different places across this country

538
00:20:53,110 --> 00:20:50,880
we've all had

539
00:20:54,870 --> 00:20:53,120
slightly different uh paths that have

540
00:20:55,830 --> 00:20:54,880
taken us here but when you really look

541
00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:55,840
at them

542
00:20:59,990 --> 00:20:57,360
there's there's a lot of similarities

543
00:21:01,990 --> 00:21:00,000
there as well so

544
00:21:04,149 --> 00:21:02,000
i think we we do bring a lot to the

545
00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:04,159
table and and and the four of us

546
00:21:10,390 --> 00:21:06,880
actually together is a much stronger

547
00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:12,710
all right let's go to sullen barber with

548
00:21:21,350 --> 00:21:19,110
mike this is a question for you how

549
00:21:23,430 --> 00:21:21,360
excited are you to have this honor of

550
00:21:25,669 --> 00:21:23,440
not only returning to space

551
00:21:29,110 --> 00:21:25,679
but being the commander of this historic

552
00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:29,120
mission launching from riverd launch pad

553
00:21:34,310 --> 00:21:32,000
39a and then also follow up how has your

554
00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:34,320
training you know changed from your

555
00:21:39,830 --> 00:21:36,960
previous mission thank you

556
00:21:42,149 --> 00:21:39,840
yeah thanks elena you know the

557
00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:42,159
as a commander as you can imagine it's

558
00:21:46,549 --> 00:21:44,400
quite an honor

559
00:21:48,230 --> 00:21:46,559
you know as a as a flight test engineer

560
00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:48,240
as a

561
00:21:53,669 --> 00:21:51,760
aviation world i i don't have that

562
00:21:57,190 --> 00:21:53,679
opportunity to command

563
00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:57,200
i think uh that that these new vehicles

564
00:22:00,070 --> 00:21:58,400
uh moving forward

565
00:22:01,110 --> 00:22:00,080
they show the opportunities that are out

566
00:22:03,350 --> 00:22:01,120
there

567
00:22:04,870 --> 00:22:03,360
for four other folks

568
00:22:06,470 --> 00:22:04,880
that don't necessarily have the same

569
00:22:08,149 --> 00:22:06,480
background as say victor in this

570
00:22:10,630 --> 00:22:08,159
particular case

571
00:22:13,110 --> 00:22:10,640
so so it is it is an honor and i'm

572
00:22:14,549 --> 00:22:13,120
humbled by it but i will also tell you

573
00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:14,559
that um

574
00:22:17,909 --> 00:22:16,480
there is a lot of value in the

575
00:22:19,270 --> 00:22:17,919
experience for example that victor

576
00:22:21,510 --> 00:22:19,280
brings to the table with all of his

577
00:22:24,070 --> 00:22:21,520
operational hours in the

578
00:22:25,669 --> 00:22:24,080
in the f-18 with with the navy and and

579
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:25,679
so i certainly don't want to underplay

580
00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:26,480
that

581
00:22:35,990 --> 00:22:34,000
earlier as well you know both shannon

582
00:22:37,990 --> 00:22:36,000
and suici have trained as a as a

583
00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:38,000
left-seeder

584
00:22:41,909 --> 00:22:39,760
in the soyuz which means they were

585
00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:41,919
second in command they they uh would

586
00:22:45,350 --> 00:22:43,520
have been called on to take command and

587
00:22:47,350 --> 00:22:45,360
so it's it's kind of funny i'm sitting

588
00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:47,360
here as the commander but in reality i

589
00:22:51,590 --> 00:22:49,200
probably had the least experience of of

590
00:22:53,350 --> 00:22:51,600
any of these three in terms of being a

591
00:22:55,590 --> 00:22:53,360
commander and so i have

592
00:22:57,270 --> 00:22:55,600
i've relied very heavily on them uh

593
00:22:58,630 --> 00:22:57,280
throughout this training training flow

594
00:23:01,510 --> 00:22:58,640
and i'm going to continue to rely on

595
00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:01,520
them as as we go uphill and and get on

596
00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:03,760
board the international space station so

597
00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:05,760
uh i i think i forgot what the the

598
00:23:10,070 --> 00:23:08,400
second part of the question was but um

599
00:23:12,230 --> 00:23:10,080
you know i guess the the difference is

600
00:23:14,870 --> 00:23:12,240
oh yeah i'm sorry thank you victor i see

601
00:23:20,070 --> 00:23:17,590
so uh um you know the difference is uh

602
00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:20,080
clearly there there has been a um

603
00:23:24,710 --> 00:23:22,720
a lot of big differences uh between

604
00:23:26,870 --> 00:23:24,720
training over in russia you know some of

605
00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:26,880
them are are logistics

606
00:23:29,909 --> 00:23:28,320
associated you know when you go over and

607
00:23:32,549 --> 00:23:29,919
train in russia you're going for three

608
00:23:34,549 --> 00:23:32,559
four five six weeks at a time before you

609
00:23:36,950 --> 00:23:34,559
get to come home whereas here

610
00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:36,960
we go out to spacex we spend a week in

611
00:23:39,830 --> 00:23:38,320
hawthorne and then we get to come home

612
00:23:40,870 --> 00:23:39,840
and be with our families on on the

613
00:23:43,110 --> 00:23:40,880
weekends

614
00:23:46,549 --> 00:23:43,120
and and so i can't say enough about the

615
00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:46,559
you know how that um that piece is

616
00:23:50,230 --> 00:23:48,480
uh it's nice it's nice to be able to see

617
00:23:52,549 --> 00:23:50,240
your family your loved ones on the

618
00:23:53,909 --> 00:23:52,559
weekends and so hats go off to our our

619
00:23:56,390 --> 00:23:53,919
colleagues and our crewmates that are

620
00:23:58,710 --> 00:23:56,400
continuing to to go through the russian

621
00:24:01,029 --> 00:23:58,720
training flow because uh it does present

622
00:24:02,710 --> 00:24:01,039
a few more challenges associated with it

623
00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:02,720
uh the other thing i would say

624
00:24:05,590 --> 00:24:04,320
that's a little bit different is this is

625
00:24:08,470 --> 00:24:05,600
new

626
00:24:10,630 --> 00:24:08,480
the the soyuz is a well proven program

627
00:24:11,909 --> 00:24:10,640
and the training program is the same you

628
00:24:13,830 --> 00:24:11,919
know the crews have been going through

629
00:24:16,710 --> 00:24:13,840
that and i would say uh one of the

630
00:24:19,029 --> 00:24:16,720
things that i remember one of my

631
00:24:21,909 --> 00:24:19,039
fellow astronauts joe acaba

632
00:24:23,190 --> 00:24:21,919
before my last flight on the soyuz as i

633
00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:23,200
was getting ready to go over for the

634
00:24:28,710 --> 00:24:25,279
final qual exams and all of that i

635
00:24:30,070 --> 00:24:28,720
didn't feel like i was ready and and i

636
00:24:31,990 --> 00:24:30,080
mentioned this to joe and he said mike

637
00:24:35,029 --> 00:24:32,000
trust the system by the time you're

638
00:24:37,350 --> 00:24:35,039
ready to launch you're going to be ready

639
00:24:38,950 --> 00:24:37,360
we didn't yes i'm

640
00:24:41,510 --> 00:24:38,960
fortunate enough to experience three

641
00:24:44,310 --> 00:24:41,520
different spacecraft training this one

642
00:24:46,230 --> 00:24:44,320
obviously most of the training for the

643
00:24:47,269 --> 00:24:46,240
clear dragon side is done by spacex

644
00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:47,279
itself

645
00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:49,760
and their approach is slightly different

646
00:24:53,430 --> 00:24:52,000
but i would say it is very effective

647
00:24:55,590 --> 00:24:53,440
and

648
00:24:57,430 --> 00:24:55,600
as i told you earlier we have that

649
00:25:00,390 --> 00:24:57,440
channel and i have like a very condensed

650
00:25:03,269 --> 00:25:00,400
flow about six months from the scratch

651
00:25:06,549 --> 00:25:03,279
to the launchpad and actually worked out

652
00:25:08,710 --> 00:25:06,559
great and uh again this is our four of

653
00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:08,720
us joined together to come up with the

654
00:25:13,990 --> 00:25:11,120
right way of operating a spacecraft so

655
00:25:16,310 --> 00:25:14,000
it's not just spacex spacex is great but

656
00:25:18,870 --> 00:25:16,320
we also as a team come up with the right

657
00:25:21,590 --> 00:25:18,880
approach and i'm pretty sure that though

658
00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:21,600
uh like like my commander said we are

659
00:25:26,310 --> 00:25:23,760
ready to fly

660
00:25:32,149 --> 00:25:26,320
all right from jackie on facebook what

661
00:25:35,909 --> 00:25:34,070
you know i think uh the three things i

662
00:25:37,669 --> 00:25:35,919
generally say when i get the privilege

663
00:25:40,149 --> 00:25:37,679
to go talk to young folks is to be

664
00:25:41,669 --> 00:25:40,159
gritty g-r-i-t-t-y it means to to

665
00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:41,679
persevere and to not be afraid to work

666
00:25:45,110 --> 00:25:42,480
hard

667
00:25:48,549 --> 00:25:45,120
to be a lifelong learner inside and

668
00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:48,559
outside the classroom and to to

669
00:25:52,070 --> 00:25:50,400
uh work very hard at being a good

670
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:52,080
teammate and that last one is very tough

671
00:25:54,710 --> 00:25:53,520
because at the end of the day it's not

672
00:25:56,390 --> 00:25:54,720
up to you it's up to the people to your

673
00:25:58,149 --> 00:25:56,400
left and to your right so to be greedy

674
00:25:59,909 --> 00:25:58,159
to be a lifelong learner and to be a

675
00:26:01,029 --> 00:25:59,919
good teammate

676
00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:01,039
right

677
00:26:05,590 --> 00:26:03,840
from ellenberger on twitter how

678
00:26:07,510 --> 00:26:05,600
comfortable do you all feel in the

679
00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:07,520
mock-ups of the capsule being four

680
00:26:13,669 --> 00:26:13,029
i'll take that

681
00:26:29,269 --> 00:26:13,679
i

682
00:26:30,950 --> 00:26:29,279
so your stowage and your people are all

683
00:26:33,990 --> 00:26:30,960
together but it makes it feel a little

684
00:26:35,990 --> 00:26:34,000
more spacious space space-ish space-ish

685
00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:36,000
that's hard to say um

686
00:26:40,310 --> 00:26:38,720
but it's nice it's comfortable

687
00:26:42,230 --> 00:26:40,320
all right let's go back to the phone

688
00:26:48,390 --> 00:26:42,240
bridge for some more media questions

689
00:26:52,149 --> 00:26:50,470
hi thank you um

690
00:26:53,669 --> 00:26:52,159
for all four of you what is the

691
00:26:55,909 --> 00:26:53,679
milestone of reaching 20 years of

692
00:26:57,990 --> 00:26:55,919
continuous human occupancy on the iss

693
00:26:59,510 --> 00:26:58,000
mean to you each personally and what

694
00:27:01,269 --> 00:26:59,520
does it say about the overall state of

695
00:27:03,510 --> 00:27:01,279
human space exploration when you

696
00:27:05,830 --> 00:27:03,520
consider that over the last two decades

697
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:05,840
and 240 people there have been less than

698
00:27:09,830 --> 00:27:08,000
two dozen women less than 20 people who

699
00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:09,840
are from countries other than the us and

700
00:27:14,630 --> 00:27:13,120
russia and only now with victor you're

701
00:27:16,070 --> 00:27:14,640
becoming the first african-american

702
00:27:19,990 --> 00:27:16,080
astronaut to become a space station

703
00:27:24,389 --> 00:27:22,549
well i'll start at the ability to fly in

704
00:27:26,389 --> 00:27:24,399
space period is a privilege and so to be

705
00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:26,399
able to fly on this amazing vehicle that

706
00:27:30,389 --> 00:27:28,480
was made in california like i was that

707
00:27:31,830 --> 00:27:30,399
is a privilege it is icing on the cake

708
00:27:34,149 --> 00:27:31,840
to be able to live on the space station

709
00:27:36,070 --> 00:27:34,159
for six months and and during that time

710
00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:36,080
to to to be there for the 20th

711
00:27:40,230 --> 00:27:37,760
anniversary of human presence on that

712
00:27:41,990 --> 00:27:40,240
station and to potentially launch on the

713
00:27:43,430 --> 00:27:42,000
20th anniversary of the launch of

714
00:27:45,269 --> 00:27:43,440
expedition 1

715
00:27:47,110 --> 00:27:45,279
is just special and and

716
00:27:49,350 --> 00:27:47,120
relates to something mike said earlier

717
00:27:51,269 --> 00:27:49,360
that you know the power of teamwork when

718
00:27:52,549 --> 00:27:51,279
we come together to work on the same

719
00:27:57,510 --> 00:27:52,559
thing that there's no limit to what we

720
00:28:03,430 --> 00:27:59,590
all right now let's go to chelsea gold

721
00:28:08,549 --> 00:28:06,310
good afternoon um so kind of on a on a

722
00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:08,559
similar note uh this is a question for

723
00:28:13,269 --> 00:28:11,200
victor as robert mentioned you will be

724
00:28:14,870 --> 00:28:13,279
the first black astronaut to ever be

725
00:28:16,549 --> 00:28:14,880
part of a crew for a long duration

726
00:28:18,950 --> 00:28:16,559
mission on the space station

727
00:28:22,149 --> 00:28:18,960
um this seems like a long time coming

728
00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:22,159
and i'm curious as also a first-time

729
00:28:27,269 --> 00:28:24,880
astronaut how you feel about embarking

730
00:28:28,549 --> 00:28:27,279
on your first mission while also making

731
00:28:30,470 --> 00:28:28,559
this history

732
00:28:31,909 --> 00:28:30,480
well i actually try very hard not to

733
00:28:33,510 --> 00:28:31,919
think a lot about it i want to go up

734
00:28:34,870 --> 00:28:33,520
there and i want to do my job very well

735
00:28:36,710 --> 00:28:34,880
and and i want to come back and talk to

736
00:28:38,950 --> 00:28:36,720
you about that after i get back home to

737
00:28:40,950 --> 00:28:38,960
my family safely so i would say let us

738
00:28:42,950 --> 00:28:40,960
accomplish that first and then we have

739
00:28:44,470 --> 00:28:42,960
something to celebrate it's bittersweet

740
00:28:46,389 --> 00:28:44,480
and i can't tell you why it's taken us

741
00:28:47,909 --> 00:28:46,399
this long but uh again i hope to go up

742
00:28:49,510 --> 00:28:47,919
there and do my job to the best of my

743
00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:49,520
ability and and i would love to come

744
00:28:53,990 --> 00:28:51,840
back and tell you stories afterward

745
00:28:56,630 --> 00:28:54,000
all right let's go to joey roulette with

746
00:29:01,990 --> 00:28:59,669
hey uh i was wondering what the process

747
00:29:03,990 --> 00:29:02,000
of casting a ballot from space is like

748
00:29:07,510 --> 00:29:04,000
do you guys send some kind of digital

749
00:29:09,110 --> 00:29:07,520
ballot down to houston um and also i

750
00:29:10,870 --> 00:29:09,120
would love to hear any kind of good tips

751
00:29:12,630 --> 00:29:10,880
that you guys could share from bob and

752
00:29:14,789 --> 00:29:12,640
doug that they may have passed along

753
00:29:16,950 --> 00:29:14,799
from their mission thanks so much

754
00:29:18,630 --> 00:29:16,960
well i can talk about casting a ballot

755
00:29:20,470 --> 00:29:18,640
from space since i did it last time i

756
00:29:23,669 --> 00:29:20,480
was on the space station

757
00:29:26,710 --> 00:29:23,679
they basically send you an electronic uh

758
00:29:29,350 --> 00:29:26,720
file it's a pdf and you mark your

759
00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:29,360
choices and then you email it back to

760
00:29:32,870 --> 00:29:31,279
the um

761
00:29:35,590 --> 00:29:32,880
i forget the title of the person but the

762
00:29:37,830 --> 00:29:35,600
person who's in charge of the election

763
00:29:39,430 --> 00:29:37,840
for the county and so then that gets

764
00:29:40,789 --> 00:29:39,440
counted into

765
00:29:41,750 --> 00:29:40,799
all the ballots that are are brought

766
00:29:43,830 --> 00:29:41,760
back

767
00:29:46,549 --> 00:29:43,840
it's very simple very straightforward

768
00:29:47,990 --> 00:29:46,559
and then i'll uh jump in in terms of uh

769
00:29:49,990 --> 00:29:48,000
from bob and doug

770
00:29:51,510 --> 00:29:50,000
we were very fortunate after they got on

771
00:29:53,190 --> 00:29:51,520
orbit probably about a week after i

772
00:29:54,950 --> 00:29:53,200
think we had a chance to to have a

773
00:29:56,710 --> 00:29:54,960
conference with them

774
00:29:58,549 --> 00:29:56,720
and then once they returned to earth the

775
00:30:00,470 --> 00:29:58,559
same thing we had an opportunity to

776
00:30:02,549 --> 00:30:00,480
speak with them and and one of the the

777
00:30:04,549 --> 00:30:02,559
great things about that is you get to

778
00:30:06,870 --> 00:30:04,559
hear sometimes the little details that

779
00:30:09,430 --> 00:30:06,880
that don't show up in a training

780
00:30:10,630 --> 00:30:09,440
training program or a training lesson

781
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:10,640
and some of those things are simple some

782
00:30:14,470 --> 00:30:12,320
of those may not seem like a lot but

783
00:30:15,830 --> 00:30:14,480
they can be very important for example

784
00:30:18,149 --> 00:30:15,840
they talked a lot about some of the

785
00:30:20,230 --> 00:30:18,159
sounds that occurred during the fueling

786
00:30:22,950 --> 00:30:20,240
process you know this is something that

787
00:30:25,110 --> 00:30:22,960
we haven't done um in the past and so

788
00:30:27,029 --> 00:30:25,120
having having astronauts in the capsule

789
00:30:28,389 --> 00:30:27,039
on the rocket as you're feeling it up is

790
00:30:30,710 --> 00:30:28,399
is a little bit different and so

791
00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:30,720
listening to them uh describes some of

792
00:30:34,710 --> 00:30:32,320
those sounds is very helpful because

793
00:30:37,669 --> 00:30:34,720
then when we hear them uh during that

794
00:30:39,110 --> 00:30:37,679
process uh you're expecting it and it's

795
00:30:40,549 --> 00:30:39,120
not as big of a surprise and you're not

796
00:30:42,549 --> 00:30:40,559
sitting there looking at each other was

797
00:30:44,149 --> 00:30:42,559
or you know we're supposed to hear that

798
00:30:46,070 --> 00:30:44,159
uh the other thing is not just the

799
00:30:47,669 --> 00:30:46,080
sounds but the feelings and and so they

800
00:30:49,190 --> 00:30:47,679
talked a little bit about that and when

801
00:30:50,789 --> 00:30:49,200
i say feelings i mean what the vehicle

802
00:30:52,070 --> 00:30:50,799
is doing you're feeling the vehicle as

803
00:30:53,909 --> 00:30:52,080
it's coming in the atmosphere for

804
00:30:56,789 --> 00:30:53,919
example and they described a little bit

805
00:30:58,230 --> 00:30:56,799
about that and again it helps set those

806
00:31:01,350 --> 00:30:58,240
expectations

807
00:31:02,830 --> 00:31:01,360
and uh and and helps you prepare uh for

808
00:31:04,549 --> 00:31:02,840
those for those

809
00:31:07,029 --> 00:31:04,559
events

810
00:31:11,029 --> 00:31:07,039
all right let's go to paul rivera with

811
00:31:16,470 --> 00:31:13,430
thanks for taking my call my questions

812
00:31:18,710 --> 00:31:16,480
this is to everyone when it comes to

813
00:31:21,110 --> 00:31:18,720
the diversity of the crew and this sort

814
00:31:23,509 --> 00:31:21,120
of pegs off of an earlier question

815
00:31:24,389 --> 00:31:23,519
how important is this diversity of the

816
00:31:26,950 --> 00:31:24,399
crew

817
00:31:28,230 --> 00:31:26,960
to future space explorers that look to

818
00:31:30,710 --> 00:31:28,240
you and say

819
00:31:32,149 --> 00:31:30,720
this person is in these shoes doing this

820
00:31:35,269 --> 00:31:32,159
i might be able to do this moving

821
00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:35,279
forward because they took that step

822
00:31:38,789 --> 00:31:36,640
now i think

823
00:31:39,669 --> 00:31:38,799
your question actually is is a great uh

824
00:31:40,630 --> 00:31:39,679
answer

825
00:31:42,149 --> 00:31:40,640
as well

826
00:31:44,470 --> 00:31:42,159
um you know i think that is one of the

827
00:31:46,549 --> 00:31:44,480
nice things about this crew is

828
00:31:49,350 --> 00:31:46,559
as people out there can can take a look

829
00:31:52,470 --> 00:31:49,360
at it and and find something similar

830
00:31:54,149 --> 00:31:52,480
um uh familiar to them and and uh we

831
00:31:55,990 --> 00:31:54,159
hope that that can be an inspiration to

832
00:31:57,830 --> 00:31:56,000
them uh but i i mentioned this a little

833
00:31:59,190 --> 00:31:57,840
bit earlier and i would and i'll mention

834
00:32:00,470 --> 00:31:59,200
it again when you really look at our

835
00:32:03,029 --> 00:32:00,480
backgrounds

836
00:32:05,350 --> 00:32:03,039
there's a lot of similarities there and

837
00:32:07,029 --> 00:32:05,360
and so um you know i just i you know

838
00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:07,039
focusing on those similarities i think

839
00:32:11,509 --> 00:32:09,120
is is is pretty important as well but

840
00:32:13,509 --> 00:32:11,519
also celebrating um our differences and

841
00:32:15,669 --> 00:32:13,519
and hoping that that can inspire folks

842
00:32:18,389 --> 00:32:15,679
from all across the country in the world

843
00:32:20,710 --> 00:32:18,399
i i think is a great thing

844
00:32:25,430 --> 00:32:20,720
all right let's go to gina sensari with

845
00:32:29,509 --> 00:32:27,110
shannon you've got considerable

846
00:32:31,350 --> 00:32:29,519
experience already on the space station

847
00:32:34,470 --> 00:32:31,360
what are you bringing forward from your

848
00:32:35,269 --> 00:32:34,480
last segment to your last expedition to

849
00:32:39,669 --> 00:32:35,279
this

850
00:32:41,029 --> 00:32:39,679
for you

851
00:32:42,470 --> 00:32:41,039
that's a that's a good question i

852
00:32:44,630 --> 00:32:42,480
haven't thought too much about that i

853
00:32:46,310 --> 00:32:44,640
think one of the things that i will

854
00:32:48,310 --> 00:32:46,320
bring

855
00:32:50,950 --> 00:32:48,320
is my experience which doesn't sound

856
00:32:52,470 --> 00:32:50,960
like a very concrete answer but my

857
00:32:54,310 --> 00:32:52,480
experience of having already lived and

858
00:32:56,070 --> 00:32:54,320
worked there will give me a huge head

859
00:32:58,549 --> 00:32:56,080
start and make me much more efficient

860
00:33:00,230 --> 00:32:58,559
this time around than i was uh last time

861
00:33:01,830 --> 00:33:00,240
i flew so

862
00:33:03,990 --> 00:33:01,840
knowing how the station is laid out

863
00:33:05,830 --> 00:33:04,000
knowing how it's packed knowing how the

864
00:33:08,870 --> 00:33:05,840
ground works with the crew on the

865
00:33:11,350 --> 00:33:08,880
station um how it all fits together will

866
00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:11,360
make me a just a better crew member

867
00:33:15,990 --> 00:33:13,760
overall

868
00:33:19,110 --> 00:33:16,000
okay let's go to dave mosher with

869
00:33:22,549 --> 00:33:21,029
hi all i kind of want to spring off an

870
00:33:24,310 --> 00:33:22,559
earlier question

871
00:33:26,389 --> 00:33:24,320
and this is for anyone who's most

872
00:33:28,630 --> 00:33:26,399
excited to answer it what is the the

873
00:33:30,789 --> 00:33:28,640
most interesting comment or tip that

874
00:33:33,190 --> 00:33:30,799
bobber doug told you about riding the

875
00:33:34,789 --> 00:33:33,200
dragon and i mean that in terms of

876
00:33:36,710 --> 00:33:34,799
preparing you for the mission i think

877
00:33:38,070 --> 00:33:36,720
mike you mentioned the sounds but maybe

878
00:33:40,870 --> 00:33:38,080
there's something else that they said

879
00:33:42,789 --> 00:33:40,880
that has really stuck with you and and

880
00:33:44,710 --> 00:33:42,799
you can share with us what what that is

881
00:33:46,389 --> 00:33:44,720
thank you yeah i've got i've got one

882
00:33:48,389 --> 00:33:46,399
that i'll share and if somebody else has

883
00:33:49,750 --> 00:33:48,399
one as well i hope they have an

884
00:33:51,669 --> 00:33:49,760
opportunity to share that too but i

885
00:33:53,909 --> 00:33:51,679
would say

886
00:33:55,029 --> 00:33:53,919
i remember talking to to doug about

887
00:33:56,470 --> 00:33:55,039
entry

888
00:33:58,710 --> 00:33:56,480
and

889
00:34:01,509 --> 00:33:58,720
his comment about entry was that it it

890
00:34:03,110 --> 00:34:01,519
happens fast from the time the

891
00:34:06,789 --> 00:34:03,120
the

892
00:34:09,190 --> 00:34:06,799
sequence starts to

893
00:34:11,909 --> 00:34:09,200
to when you touch down is is very fast

894
00:34:12,869 --> 00:34:11,919
and so his his comment was

895
00:34:14,550 --> 00:34:12,879
um

896
00:34:16,629 --> 00:34:14,560
even though it's happening fast he said

897
00:34:18,950 --> 00:34:16,639
he felt like he was ahead of the vehicle

898
00:34:21,349 --> 00:34:18,960
and and so uh for

899
00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:21,359
for people uh in the aviation world or

900
00:34:25,829 --> 00:34:23,280
flying world like this that that has a

901
00:34:28,629 --> 00:34:25,839
certain meaning to it and and that

902
00:34:30,629 --> 00:34:28,639
for me that means i need to make sure

903
00:34:32,629 --> 00:34:30,639
that we as a crew are ready for that

904
00:34:35,829 --> 00:34:32,639
moment because again when things happen

905
00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:35,839
fast you need to to uh be anticipating

906
00:34:39,909 --> 00:34:37,760
and be ready to go and so that that

907
00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:39,919
really stood out to me yeah and another

908
00:34:43,349 --> 00:34:41,760
thing that they mentioned was uh that

909
00:34:45,270 --> 00:34:43,359
after their manual piloting demo that

910
00:34:47,190 --> 00:34:45,280
the vehicle flew like the synth and that

911
00:34:49,030 --> 00:34:47,200
is as comforting and it is also a

912
00:34:51,909 --> 00:34:49,040
testament to spacex and the product that

913
00:34:57,990 --> 00:34:55,109
okay let's go to meredith garafollo with

914
00:35:01,030 --> 00:34:59,589
thank you guys all so much i really

915
00:35:03,109 --> 00:35:01,040
appreciate your time now we've had

916
00:35:06,390 --> 00:35:03,119
decades of different accomplishments of

917
00:35:08,230 --> 00:35:06,400
space exploration and why is this one

918
00:35:09,750 --> 00:35:08,240
important to you and for our future

919
00:35:11,589 --> 00:35:09,760
generations

920
00:35:17,190 --> 00:35:11,599
what do you hope they always remember

921
00:35:21,270 --> 00:35:19,270
so i would hope that uh coming out of

922
00:35:22,550 --> 00:35:21,280
this is uh i mentioned it earlier as

923
00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:22,560
well that it's kind of the start of a

924
00:35:27,829 --> 00:35:25,680
new era in in human space flight um i i

925
00:35:29,430 --> 00:35:27,839
think in terms of you know using the

926
00:35:31,510 --> 00:35:29,440
commercial companies to give us access

927
00:35:33,030 --> 00:35:31,520
to the international space station

928
00:35:34,390 --> 00:35:33,040
i think there's another piece that's

929
00:35:36,230 --> 00:35:34,400
happening and that is opening up low

930
00:35:39,030 --> 00:35:36,240
earth orbit to more people

931
00:35:40,950 --> 00:35:39,040
to uh potentially not just nasa

932
00:35:42,310 --> 00:35:40,960
astronauts and jax astronauts and

933
00:35:45,349 --> 00:35:42,320
cosmonauts

934
00:35:47,030 --> 00:35:45,359
but to to uh civilians that are out

935
00:35:50,069 --> 00:35:47,040
there and so i think

936
00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:50,079
um if this is the start of that i think

937
00:35:53,829 --> 00:35:51,760
that's a great thing and i hope they can

938
00:35:55,910 --> 00:35:53,839
take that from it

939
00:36:02,150 --> 00:35:55,920
all right let's go to stephen clark with

940
00:36:05,109 --> 00:36:04,390
hi thank you um i was wondering which of

941
00:36:08,790 --> 00:36:05,119
you

942
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:08,800
expected to go outside for

943
00:36:13,910 --> 00:36:10,720
an eva at least which of you received

944
00:36:15,589 --> 00:36:13,920
the epa training and uh i i understand

945
00:36:17,030 --> 00:36:15,599
your eva training is complete your drag

946
00:36:18,550 --> 00:36:17,040
in training at space actually is

947
00:36:20,790 --> 00:36:18,560
complete so what are your schedules like

948
00:36:22,470 --> 00:36:20,800
over the next month leading up to launch

949
00:36:23,829 --> 00:36:22,480
do you have additional sims or are you

950
00:36:24,950 --> 00:36:23,839
going to take that extra week to do some

951
00:36:26,230 --> 00:36:24,960
more training

952
00:36:29,030 --> 00:36:26,240
and what else are you doing to prepare

953
00:36:31,750 --> 00:36:29,040
for the mission thank you

954
00:36:35,030 --> 00:36:31,760
i'll start with the eva piece um

955
00:36:37,589 --> 00:36:35,040
so in terms of training for eva actually

956
00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:37,599
all four of us are are trained for eva

957
00:36:42,710 --> 00:36:40,480
in terms of going out the door uh victor

958
00:36:45,910 --> 00:36:42,720
myself and and suici we'll go out the

959
00:36:48,390 --> 00:36:45,920
door but kate and kate thank you um but

960
00:36:49,750 --> 00:36:48,400
then shannon has i would actually say

961
00:36:51,910 --> 00:36:49,760
probably the more difficult role and

962
00:36:54,310 --> 00:36:51,920
that's getting us out the door

963
00:36:56,310 --> 00:36:54,320
that is a very compressed timeline

964
00:36:57,589 --> 00:36:56,320
there's a lot going on on a lot of

965
00:37:00,950 --> 00:36:57,599
different procedures that have to be

966
00:37:02,870 --> 00:37:00,960
tracked and and it's critical and and so

967
00:37:05,270 --> 00:37:02,880
um all four of us

968
00:37:07,510 --> 00:37:05,280
in terms of uh including kate are

969
00:37:09,109 --> 00:37:07,520
prepared to go out the door and uh and

970
00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:09,119
shannon is just as important part of

971
00:37:13,430 --> 00:37:11,280
that of that role in terms of making the

972
00:37:14,630 --> 00:37:13,440
evas happen

973
00:37:16,230 --> 00:37:14,640
and in terms of what we're going to be

974
00:37:18,390 --> 00:37:16,240
doing i don't know if anybody else wants

975
00:37:20,390 --> 00:37:18,400
to chime in on that one

976
00:37:22,710 --> 00:37:20,400
we do a little bit of refresher training

977
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:22,720
our the bulk of our training is complete

978
00:37:27,349 --> 00:37:24,800
but there will probably be a sim or two

979
00:37:29,510 --> 00:37:27,359
in there to make sure that our skills

980
00:37:30,950 --> 00:37:29,520
are tip-top when we're ready to go but

981
00:37:33,109 --> 00:37:30,960
we do also get the opportunity to take

982
00:37:34,550 --> 00:37:33,119
some time off and so we'll have about a

983
00:37:35,510 --> 00:37:34,560
week where we can

984
00:37:36,870 --> 00:37:35,520
um

985
00:37:39,030 --> 00:37:36,880
spend time with our families and wrap

986
00:37:42,550 --> 00:37:39,040
things up at home before we go away

987
00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:42,560
that's going our time on orbits um you

988
00:37:46,310 --> 00:37:44,480
know across a major holiday season we'll

989
00:37:48,150 --> 00:37:46,320
be home after tax season there may be

990
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:48,160
things that we need to take care of

991
00:37:52,390 --> 00:37:49,130
before we go yeah

992
00:37:53,829 --> 00:37:52,400
[Laughter]

993
00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:53,839
and then and then we'll be right into

994
00:37:57,190 --> 00:37:55,440
quarantine um

995
00:37:59,910 --> 00:37:57,200
getting ready to go

996
00:38:02,710 --> 00:37:59,920
all right let's go to frida juarez with

997
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:02,720
l universal

998
00:38:05,910 --> 00:38:04,960
hi everybody thank you for taking my

999
00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:05,920
question

1000
00:38:10,069 --> 00:38:07,520
i was wondering

1001
00:38:13,270 --> 00:38:10,079
this one is for everybody how does the

1002
00:38:14,950 --> 00:38:13,280
pandemic change your perspective from

1003
00:38:17,589 --> 00:38:14,960
space and

1004
00:38:21,589 --> 00:38:17,599
your perspective about being an

1005
00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:24,069
well can i say that i was joking and

1006
00:38:27,829 --> 00:38:26,480
describing this time with my family that

1007
00:38:29,430 --> 00:38:27,839
you know they get to experience a little

1008
00:38:31,430 --> 00:38:29,440
bit what it's going to be like to live

1009
00:38:33,430 --> 00:38:31,440
on the space station with the increase

1010
00:38:35,190 --> 00:38:33,440
in isolation and having to find new ways

1011
00:38:36,550 --> 00:38:35,200
to communicate virtually doing their

1012
00:38:38,950 --> 00:38:36,560
schoolwork our kids are doing school

1013
00:38:40,870 --> 00:38:38,960
work online and so i think that's one

1014
00:38:42,390 --> 00:38:40,880
you know like maybe a positive spin you

1015
00:38:43,510 --> 00:38:42,400
could put on this is the the entire

1016
00:38:45,349 --> 00:38:43,520
planet is in one way or another

1017
00:38:47,030 --> 00:38:45,359
experiencing you know the austerity that

1018
00:38:49,190 --> 00:38:47,040
that comes with living on the

1019
00:38:51,190 --> 00:38:49,200
international space station um but i

1020
00:38:53,109 --> 00:38:51,200
will also say that the perspective piece

1021
00:38:55,030 --> 00:38:53,119
for me it has given me an a greater

1022
00:38:56,390 --> 00:38:55,040
sense of respect for for the people that

1023
00:38:57,990 --> 00:38:56,400
have had to go out and continue to keep

1024
00:38:59,349 --> 00:38:58,000
our communities clean the folks that are

1025
00:39:00,950 --> 00:38:59,359
picking up the trash and making sure

1026
00:39:02,230 --> 00:39:00,960
that our facilities are clean and the

1027
00:39:03,589 --> 00:39:02,240
folks that have to continue to come in

1028
00:39:05,829 --> 00:39:03,599
and help us to train and be ready for

1029
00:39:07,510 --> 00:39:05,839
this mission and that created and built

1030
00:39:10,390 --> 00:39:07,520
this vehicle or are still building this

1031
00:39:12,230 --> 00:39:10,400
vehicle and so i i thought i was already

1032
00:39:13,670 --> 00:39:12,240
grateful but i am i am

1033
00:39:15,990 --> 00:39:13,680
increasingly grateful for all of their

1034
00:39:20,230 --> 00:39:16,000
hard work

1035
00:39:23,030 --> 00:39:20,240
all right irene klotz with aviation week

1036
00:39:24,630 --> 00:39:23,040
thanks uh this is for uh mike or uh

1037
00:39:26,310 --> 00:39:24,640
victor or shannon

1038
00:39:28,230 --> 00:39:26,320
uh you know nasa

1039
00:39:31,430 --> 00:39:28,240
has gone through this route of trying to

1040
00:39:33,510 --> 00:39:31,440
open up leo previously and shortly after

1041
00:39:36,069 --> 00:39:33,520
shuttle started flying with blind

1042
00:39:38,950 --> 00:39:36,079
politicians and school teacher and so

1043
00:39:40,790 --> 00:39:38,960
forth and we know how that worked out

1044
00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:40,800
what do you think can you give me a

1045
00:39:47,109 --> 00:39:43,520
couple of examples specifically about

1046
00:39:48,710 --> 00:39:47,119
how the risk assessment has changed from

1047
00:39:51,270 --> 00:39:48,720
shuttle era

1048
00:39:54,230 --> 00:39:51,280
to what you all are working now with

1049
00:39:57,349 --> 00:39:54,240
some spacex and boeing in the commercial

1050
00:40:00,870 --> 00:39:57,359
crew program

1051
00:40:02,630 --> 00:40:00,880
well i i think first of all it starts um

1052
00:40:05,589 --> 00:40:02,640
just with the design of the vehicle and

1053
00:40:08,069 --> 00:40:05,599
what uh what they each were made for

1054
00:40:10,710 --> 00:40:08,079
when you look at the space shuttle uh it

1055
00:40:12,550 --> 00:40:10,720
was it was made for a

1056
00:40:14,069 --> 00:40:12,560
kind of a different purpose in terms of

1057
00:40:15,910 --> 00:40:14,079
it was made to build to help build the

1058
00:40:18,630 --> 00:40:15,920
space station for example

1059
00:40:21,589 --> 00:40:18,640
and and so based on that uh how it was

1060
00:40:23,510 --> 00:40:21,599
built and and and all that uh

1061
00:40:25,349 --> 00:40:23,520
put different risks i would say with

1062
00:40:27,670 --> 00:40:25,359
with flying on the space shuttle uh

1063
00:40:29,030 --> 00:40:27,680
versus with with these vehicles uh the

1064
00:40:30,630 --> 00:40:29,040
you know what you see with spacex what

1065
00:40:32,950 --> 00:40:30,640
you see being developed for boeing they

1066
00:40:33,910 --> 00:40:32,960
have a much smaller mission set if you

1067
00:40:35,910 --> 00:40:33,920
will

1068
00:40:37,510 --> 00:40:35,920
they are are being made to take uh

1069
00:40:39,030 --> 00:40:37,520
people to low earth orbit to the

1070
00:40:40,950 --> 00:40:39,040
international space station and bring

1071
00:40:42,790 --> 00:40:40,960
them back and and so they're not they're

1072
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:42,800
not being asked to do

1073
00:40:47,349 --> 00:40:45,119
uh the same types of things that the

1074
00:40:48,950 --> 00:40:47,359
space shuttle was asked to do and so

1075
00:40:51,510 --> 00:40:48,960
because of that i think you'll you'll

1076
00:40:53,589 --> 00:40:51,520
find that uh the the risk

1077
00:40:54,950 --> 00:40:53,599
is a little bit different and i would

1078
00:40:56,950 --> 00:40:54,960
also say

1079
00:41:00,069 --> 00:40:56,960
that you know we've got the advantage of

1080
00:41:01,349 --> 00:41:00,079
uh what 40 years 50 years since the the

1081
00:41:03,349 --> 00:41:01,359
designs of the space shuttle and so

1082
00:41:05,190 --> 00:41:03,359
obviously we've learned

1083
00:41:07,670 --> 00:41:05,200
a lot from the space shuttle experience

1084
00:41:09,430 --> 00:41:07,680
and we've applied those uh to

1085
00:41:10,790 --> 00:41:09,440
to these vehicles and and you can see it

1086
00:41:13,109 --> 00:41:10,800
you know earlier we got asked about the

1087
00:41:15,030 --> 00:41:13,119
tps issue all of that experience from

1088
00:41:16,630 --> 00:41:15,040
the shuttle is being applied right now

1089
00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:16,640
uh to this vehicle and we're taking

1090
00:41:20,790 --> 00:41:18,720
advantage of that and so that's not only

1091
00:41:23,349 --> 00:41:20,800
making it safer for us but

1092
00:41:24,630 --> 00:41:23,359
as we as we look at uh potentially other

1093
00:41:26,069 --> 00:41:24,640
folks being able to fly on these

1094
00:41:28,309 --> 00:41:26,079
vehicles it's making it safer for them

1095
00:41:29,750 --> 00:41:28,319
as well and having the the 20 years of

1096
00:41:31,190 --> 00:41:29,760
human presence in low earth orbit has

1097
00:41:33,670 --> 00:41:31,200
given us the time to work out the

1098
00:41:35,349 --> 00:41:33,680
operations the technology and and and

1099
00:41:37,510 --> 00:41:35,359
the teamwork really the partnership the

1100
00:41:38,630 --> 00:41:37,520
15 to 18 nations that that make it

1101
00:41:40,309 --> 00:41:38,640
possible for us to have this

1102
00:41:43,030 --> 00:41:40,319
international space station so that's

1103
00:41:45,270 --> 00:41:43,040
also grown our abilities to to work and

1104
00:41:47,430 --> 00:41:45,280
live in space

1105
00:41:51,030 --> 00:41:47,440
all right let's go to mary lou bender

1106
00:41:55,990 --> 00:41:53,750
hi thank you this is mary liz

1107
00:41:58,390 --> 00:41:56,000
so lately i've been talking to retired

1108
00:41:59,910 --> 00:41:58,400
astronaut nicole stott about a subject

1109
00:42:01,910 --> 00:41:59,920
near and dear to her

1110
00:42:04,870 --> 00:42:01,920
she says that she's always so grateful

1111
00:42:07,670 --> 00:42:04,880
that someone insisted that she take her

1112
00:42:10,150 --> 00:42:07,680
humanity with her on her human space

1113
00:42:12,230 --> 00:42:10,160
flight and for her that meant painting

1114
00:42:14,470 --> 00:42:12,240
in space and i'm curious what this might

1115
00:42:16,630 --> 00:42:14,480
mean for you all have you decided to

1116
00:42:18,150 --> 00:42:16,640
bring something special in your personal

1117
00:42:22,870 --> 00:42:18,160
effects or have you thought about how

1118
00:42:27,430 --> 00:42:26,630
good question for me yes yes

1119
00:42:30,710 --> 00:42:27,440
and

1120
00:42:32,630 --> 00:42:30,720
unfortunately i don't have the same

1121
00:42:35,270 --> 00:42:32,640
talents as she has when it comes to art

1122
00:42:37,589 --> 00:42:35,280
so i that is not something i will

1123
00:42:41,349 --> 00:42:37,599
probably be doing very much of in space

1124
00:42:43,109 --> 00:42:41,359
um i think a lot of my time will

1125
00:42:45,510 --> 00:42:43,119
be similar to what it was before when i

1126
00:42:47,109 --> 00:42:45,520
had free time looking out the window and

1127
00:42:49,670 --> 00:42:47,119
enjoying the perspectives of space and

1128
00:42:51,270 --> 00:42:49,680
then thinking of ways that we can

1129
00:42:52,950 --> 00:42:51,280
communicate that to the rest of the

1130
00:42:54,470 --> 00:42:52,960
world because communicating what we're

1131
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:54,480
doing in our experiences up there is

1132
00:42:56,829 --> 00:42:55,130
hugely

1133
00:42:59,750 --> 00:42:56,839
[Music]

1134
00:43:03,750 --> 00:42:59,760
important all right let's go to frida

1135
00:43:08,870 --> 00:43:07,589
yeah uh i also wanted to ask

1136
00:43:11,109 --> 00:43:08,880
um

1137
00:43:15,270 --> 00:43:11,119
sorry she's kind of nervous

1138
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,750
so

1139
00:43:22,230 --> 00:43:20,550
which is mainly how different it was

1140
00:43:23,190 --> 00:43:22,240
working

1141
00:43:26,069 --> 00:43:23,200
you

1142
00:43:28,390 --> 00:43:26,079
except from victor have experienced

1143
00:43:30,630 --> 00:43:28,400
working at national

1144
00:43:31,910 --> 00:43:30,640
but how does the collaboration within

1145
00:43:36,150 --> 00:43:31,920
spacex

1146
00:43:39,990 --> 00:43:38,710
so working i think you're asking how

1147
00:43:41,829 --> 00:43:40,000
the experience has been working with

1148
00:43:45,510 --> 00:43:41,839
spacex different from maybe working at

1149
00:43:49,430 --> 00:43:47,510
yeah you know that team is is really

1150
00:43:51,430 --> 00:43:49,440
amazing and i i can't give them enough

1151
00:43:54,230 --> 00:43:51,440
kudos

1152
00:43:55,829 --> 00:43:54,240
it has made me appreciate how hard they

1153
00:43:57,829 --> 00:43:55,839
work and and how talented their

1154
00:44:00,150 --> 00:43:57,839
workforce really is every time we go

1155
00:44:02,230 --> 00:44:00,160
there i learn a ton

1156
00:44:05,030 --> 00:44:02,240
and but i also have fun i will get back

1157
00:44:06,870 --> 00:44:05,040
to to our house in the evening and just

1158
00:44:08,470 --> 00:44:06,880
be mentally exhausted maybe physically

1159
00:44:10,069 --> 00:44:08,480
exhausted and then we'll sit around

1160
00:44:12,230 --> 00:44:10,079
dinner talking about how much we learn

1161
00:44:14,390 --> 00:44:12,240
but we'll all have smiles on our faces

1162
00:44:16,470 --> 00:44:14,400
and i think the the nasa culture has

1163
00:44:18,470 --> 00:44:16,480
been improved by working with spacex and

1164
00:44:20,630 --> 00:44:18,480
i think spacex's culture has been

1165
00:44:22,230 --> 00:44:20,640
improved by working with nasa they

1166
00:44:23,910 --> 00:44:22,240
appreciate different things about us

1167
00:44:25,589 --> 00:44:23,920
having all of that experience mike and

1168
00:44:27,750 --> 00:44:25,599
shannon talked about earlier and we

1169
00:44:30,550 --> 00:44:27,760
appreciate their talent and their their

1170
00:44:32,550 --> 00:44:30,560
uh operations tempo uh they move pretty

1171
00:44:34,630 --> 00:44:32,560
fast and so they do things that are that

1172
00:44:36,150 --> 00:44:34,640
seem to us to be pretty amazing uh but

1173
00:44:37,829 --> 00:44:36,160
they they they do that with a lot of

1174
00:44:40,150 --> 00:44:37,839
talent and professionalism

1175
00:44:41,670 --> 00:44:40,160
and i i would add to that that it's

1176
00:44:42,950 --> 00:44:41,680
in some ways it's very interesting and

1177
00:44:45,109 --> 00:44:42,960
similar to

1178
00:44:47,030 --> 00:44:45,119
um our international partnership when we

1179
00:44:48,470 --> 00:44:47,040
first started our our international

1180
00:44:50,790 --> 00:44:48,480
partners all came with their own

1181
00:44:52,950 --> 00:44:50,800
experiences and approaches and ways of

1182
00:44:55,349 --> 00:44:52,960
doing business and we've all come

1183
00:44:57,349 --> 00:44:55,359
together sort of in the center of having

1184
00:44:58,790 --> 00:44:57,359
one very functional group working

1185
00:45:01,030 --> 00:44:58,800
together and so now we're bringing

1186
00:45:02,870 --> 00:45:01,040
spacex into the team and we're learning

1187
00:45:04,470 --> 00:45:02,880
from spacex and spacex is learning from

1188
00:45:06,790 --> 00:45:04,480
the partnership so it's a very

1189
00:45:09,030 --> 00:45:06,800
interesting process

1190
00:45:12,069 --> 00:45:09,040
all right let's go back to c lynn barber

1191
00:45:14,309 --> 00:45:12,079
with gannett publications

1192
00:45:15,750 --> 00:45:14,319
great thank you so much megan um i

1193
00:45:18,309 --> 00:45:15,760
haven't heard as much about the

1194
00:45:20,309 --> 00:45:18,319
scientific experiment that you might be

1195
00:45:23,109 --> 00:45:20,319
maintaining or

1196
00:45:24,710 --> 00:45:23,119
are conducting while upon the iss would

1197
00:45:26,309 --> 00:45:24,720
any of you like to share

1198
00:45:28,150 --> 00:45:26,319
what science experiments you're going to

1199
00:45:29,109 --> 00:45:28,160
be working on

1200
00:45:30,550 --> 00:45:29,119
well

1201
00:45:32,230 --> 00:45:30,560
so i think a part of that is with the

1202
00:45:33,829 --> 00:45:32,240
the flexibility we've had to maintain

1203
00:45:35,030 --> 00:45:33,839
for launch dates it means that the the

1204
00:45:37,109 --> 00:45:35,040
experiments that are going to be up

1205
00:45:39,190 --> 00:45:37,119
there while we're there uh could vary

1206
00:45:41,430 --> 00:45:39,200
and so we've had to train on a variety

1207
00:45:44,069 --> 00:45:41,440
of them and one that i'm really looking

1208
00:45:45,349 --> 00:45:44,079
forward to is food physiology

1209
00:45:46,630 --> 00:45:45,359
because i love to eat and it's going to

1210
00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:46,640
allow me to eat more fruits and

1211
00:45:49,270 --> 00:45:47,760
vegetables

1212
00:45:51,589 --> 00:45:49,280
as they try to you know increase the

1213
00:45:53,270 --> 00:45:51,599
amount of omega fatty acids and lycopene

1214
00:45:55,030 --> 00:45:53,280
and flavonoids to see how it affects

1215
00:45:56,790 --> 00:45:55,040
your your your gut health and your

1216
00:45:58,550 --> 00:45:56,800
immune system and your overall nutrition

1217
00:46:03,589 --> 00:45:58,560
so i'm looking forward to food

1218
00:46:07,349 --> 00:46:05,190
all right anyone else on science

1219
00:46:08,550 --> 00:46:07,359
experiments well i got maybe out some

1220
00:46:10,550 --> 00:46:08,560
obviously

1221
00:46:12,870 --> 00:46:10,560
we have a variety of a science

1222
00:46:15,190 --> 00:46:12,880
experiment which didn't exist 10 years

1223
00:46:17,349 --> 00:46:15,200
ago when shannon and i flew so uh right

1224
00:46:19,910 --> 00:46:17,359
now we have a lot of new uh

1225
00:46:21,829 --> 00:46:19,920
new teams like biotechnology and gene

1226
00:46:25,109 --> 00:46:21,839
technology and also we are doing a lot

1227
00:46:27,589 --> 00:46:25,119
of microsoft deployment we are using our

1228
00:46:29,589 --> 00:46:27,599
kibo airlock which did not exist 10

1229
00:46:32,069 --> 00:46:29,599
years ago so with a lot of

1230
00:46:33,190 --> 00:46:32,079
new ways to explore the science these

1231
00:46:36,069 --> 00:46:33,200
days

1232
00:46:37,670 --> 00:46:36,079
all right thanks great question um just

1233
00:46:39,430 --> 00:46:37,680
a reminder if you have a question on the

1234
00:46:41,829 --> 00:46:39,440
phone you can press star one to ask your

1235
00:46:42,790 --> 00:46:41,839
question or star to to withdraw your

1236
00:46:44,630 --> 00:46:42,800
question

1237
00:46:46,630 --> 00:46:44,640
all right let's take a couple of more

1238
00:46:48,710 --> 00:46:46,640
questions from social media

1239
00:46:50,550 --> 00:46:48,720
margaret on facebook wants to know about

1240
00:46:53,109 --> 00:46:50,560
your patch what are the symbols in the

1241
00:46:55,670 --> 00:46:53,119
patch what does it stand for

1242
00:46:57,829 --> 00:46:55,680
so the symbols on the on the bottom of

1243
00:46:59,829 --> 00:46:57,839
the patch on that border that are that

1244
00:47:02,150 --> 00:46:59,839
are kind of the shadow symbols uh they

1245
00:47:04,390 --> 00:47:02,160
represent the previous u.s launch

1246
00:47:05,910 --> 00:47:04,400
vehicles and so that's the the mercury

1247
00:47:07,750 --> 00:47:05,920
the gemini the apollo and then you'll

1248
00:47:09,829 --> 00:47:07,760
see the shuttle symbol there and of

1249
00:47:12,790 --> 00:47:09,839
course that's then flowing into the crew

1250
00:47:14,710 --> 00:47:12,800
dragon and if you look above the head of

1251
00:47:16,390 --> 00:47:14,720
the of the dragon in the background

1252
00:47:17,910 --> 00:47:16,400
you'll see the the outline of the

1253
00:47:20,630 --> 00:47:17,920
international space station which is our

1254
00:47:22,390 --> 00:47:20,640
destination right now

1255
00:47:24,710 --> 00:47:22,400
all right another question from the

1256
00:47:26,630 --> 00:47:24,720
spacex reddit group on twitter can

1257
00:47:29,349 --> 00:47:26,640
astronauts customize their suit and

1258
00:47:33,030 --> 00:47:29,359
helmet colors so ichinoguchi had a cool

1259
00:47:38,150 --> 00:47:35,990
well the short answer is we wish but not

1260
00:47:40,150 --> 00:47:38,160
actually guys of the yeah i actually

1261
00:47:42,470 --> 00:47:40,160
like those the black helmets i put it on

1262
00:47:45,910 --> 00:47:42,480
my twitter but that's not the official

1263
00:47:48,390 --> 00:47:45,920
flight helmet the spacex has a nice uh

1264
00:47:50,790 --> 00:47:48,400
nice design scheme and it's really

1265
00:47:52,950 --> 00:47:50,800
actually nice a white helmet and i don't

1266
00:47:56,630 --> 00:47:52,960
think we have luxury of changing the

1267
00:47:59,349 --> 00:47:56,640
spacesuit in any of the shuttle soyuz

1268
00:48:01,589 --> 00:47:59,359
and uh but the spacesuit actually looks

1269
00:48:02,630 --> 00:48:01,599
really fantastic

1270
00:48:05,589 --> 00:48:02,640
all right

1271
00:48:07,990 --> 00:48:05,599
um let's go to jeff on facebook are

1272
00:48:10,150 --> 00:48:08,000
there any fun easter eggs on crew dragon

1273
00:48:12,549 --> 00:48:10,160
that you know of or fun features people

1274
00:48:13,990 --> 00:48:12,559
might not know about

1275
00:48:15,829 --> 00:48:14,000
we would we would love to know if

1276
00:48:17,910 --> 00:48:15,839
there's some fun easter eggs out there

1277
00:48:19,829 --> 00:48:17,920
uh i don't i don't i don't know i'm not

1278
00:48:23,030 --> 00:48:19,839
aware of

1279
00:48:27,030 --> 00:48:23,040
going to share them right now oh man

1280
00:48:30,870 --> 00:48:27,990
all right

1281
00:48:32,950 --> 00:48:30,880
and for our final question for today um

1282
00:48:35,430 --> 00:48:32,960
let's go to

1283
00:48:38,069 --> 00:48:35,440
mary on twitter what do you as

1284
00:48:39,829 --> 00:48:38,079
astronauts consider a personal goal

1285
00:48:41,109 --> 00:48:39,839
during the crew one mission maybe each

1286
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:41,119
of you can

1287
00:48:45,030 --> 00:48:42,520
give a brief answer here

1288
00:48:45,829 --> 00:48:45,040
[Music]

1289
00:48:50,870 --> 00:48:45,839
so

1290
00:48:52,549 --> 00:48:50,880
this one is is probably fairly obvious

1291
00:48:54,630 --> 00:48:52,559
but for all of us it's to land safely

1292
00:48:57,510 --> 00:48:54,640
and return to our families um and and

1293
00:49:00,870 --> 00:48:57,520
that's kind of first first and foremost

1294
00:49:02,390 --> 00:49:00,880
i i think one of my other goals is

1295
00:49:04,950 --> 00:49:02,400
i'm very excited to

1296
00:49:08,069 --> 00:49:04,960
fly with with victor on his on his first

1297
00:49:10,630 --> 00:49:08,079
flight and um you know part of that goal

1298
00:49:12,950 --> 00:49:10,640
then is is looking forward to

1299
00:49:14,390 --> 00:49:12,960
uh seeing what he does uh on his next

1300
00:49:16,710 --> 00:49:14,400
flight

1301
00:49:19,109 --> 00:49:16,720
you know i've listened to the advice of

1302
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:19,119
of my colleagues and good friends and

1303
00:49:23,030 --> 00:49:21,280
and i'm going to make a point to try and

1304
00:49:24,790 --> 00:49:23,040
capture the moments take a lot of

1305
00:49:26,549 --> 00:49:24,800
pictures of the things that we do inside

1306
00:49:28,390 --> 00:49:26,559
not just our beautiful planet but but

1307
00:49:30,390 --> 00:49:28,400
also of my crewmates as well to try and

1308
00:49:34,309 --> 00:49:30,400
really capture that experience but also

1309
00:49:37,190 --> 00:49:34,319
just to experience it itself

1310
00:49:38,150 --> 00:49:37,200
victor's goal is very similar to my goal

1311
00:49:39,829 --> 00:49:38,160
um

1312
00:49:42,069 --> 00:49:39,839
you know we've we've

1313
00:49:44,150 --> 00:49:42,079

1314
00:49:46,069 --> 00:49:44,160
we know we've got a lot of hard work

1315
00:49:48,630 --> 00:49:46,079

1316
00:49:51,270 --> 00:49:48,640
