i gotta say this whole effort to

38
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:45,440
commercialize low-earth orbit this is

39
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:47,760
just a giant step in making that happen

40
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:49,360
and we're going to continue the with

41
00:11:52,389 --> 00:11:51,120
that and i want to introduce somebody

42
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:52,399
who's been a real advocate for the

43
00:12:03,190 --> 00:11:54,560
commercialization of low-earth orbit our

44
00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:06,949
we welcome these four astronauts

45
00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:09,680
they are the best america and japan have

46
00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:12,000
to offer

47
00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:14,320
we're bringing free nations together to

48
00:12:18,870 --> 00:12:16,320
advance the human condition

49
00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:18,880
for all mankind

50
00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:20,480
and we're doing so with american

51
00:12:25,190 --> 00:12:22,839
ingenuity and

52
00:12:26,230 --> 00:12:25,200
innovation we're talking reusable

53
00:12:28,710 --> 00:12:26,240
rockets

54
00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:28,720
and reusable space capsules and we're

55
00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:30,079
going to the space station that's

56
00:12:34,470 --> 00:12:33,040
allowed us to do research there for 20

57
00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:34,480
years

58
00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:36,560
as well as keep a human presence there

59
00:12:41,670 --> 00:12:39,040
which we need to continue

60
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:41,680
20 years 22 years ago

61
00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:44,240
bob cabana

62
00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:45,120
was

63
00:12:49,670 --> 00:12:47,440
commanded the first international space

64
00:12:50,829 --> 00:12:49,680
station assembly mission where the

65
00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:50,839
station was

66
00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:54,160
activated and entered by our astronauts

67
00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:55,440
so today

68
00:12:59,269 --> 00:12:57,440
we have the beginning

69
00:13:00,790 --> 00:12:59,279
and we have our future

70
00:13:02,710 --> 00:13:00,800
and i'm so proud

71
00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:02,720

00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:28,880
kennedy space center welcome to our

80
00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:30,160
astronauts

81
00:13:34,470 --> 00:13:32,480
uh before we start talking about and

82
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:34,480
talking to our astronauts i want to

83
00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:36,720
recognize what's happened here at the

84
00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:38,480
kennedy space center

85
00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:40,000
transformational

86
00:13:44,150 --> 00:13:41,680
activities that have resulted in this

87
00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:44,160
being a multi-user spaceport

88
00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:46,480
and colonel bob cabana has been leading

89
00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:47,760
this effort

90
00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:50,160
for for over a decade now and it's been

91
00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:52,240
it's been amazing and the the partners

92
00:13:56,550 --> 00:13:54,240
that we have with spacex and boeing as

93
00:13:58,310 --> 00:13:56,560
it relates to our commercial launches uh

94
00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:58,320
bob we're we're so grateful for all of

95
00:14:02,230 --> 00:14:00,639
your service and of course jim morahard

96
00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:02,240
thank you for the introduction i will

97
00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:03,440
tell you

98
00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:05,279
right now nasa has the highest budget

99
00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:07,680
it's ever had in nominal dollars

100
00:14:10,550 --> 00:14:09,120
it doesn't hurt to have a deputy

101
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:10,560
administrator who comes from the

102
00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:12,720
legislative arena who has worked in the

103
00:14:16,790 --> 00:14:14,880
senate and who can help us accomplish

104
00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:16,800
these big things so thank you to jim

105
00:14:20,790 --> 00:14:18,320
moreheart as well

106
00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:20,800
so today we are we are we are

107
00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:23,440
taking another big leap in this

108
00:14:26,550 --> 00:14:25,519
transformation and how we do human space

109
00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:26,560
flight

110
00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:28,800
and and what we're talking about here is

111
00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:30,480
the commercialization of space where

112
00:14:35,269 --> 00:14:33,120
nasa is one customer of many customers

113
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:35,279
in a very robust commercial marketplace

114
00:14:38,470 --> 00:14:36,720
in low earth orbit

115
00:14:40,710 --> 00:14:38,480
what we're doing is we're transitioning

116
00:14:43,269 --> 00:14:40,720
from a test flight to operational

117
00:14:44,949 --> 00:14:43,279
flights make no mistake every flight is

118
00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:44,959
a test flight when it comes to space

119
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:47,360
travel but it's also true that we need

120
00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:49,440
to routinely be able to go to the

121
00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:51,839
international space station and so we're

122
00:14:55,030 --> 00:14:53,600
grateful once again to our partners from

123
00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:55,040
spacex for

124
00:14:59,509 --> 00:14:57,120
the falcon 9 rocket and the crew dragon

125
00:15:00,870 --> 00:14:59,519
we're also grateful to the nasa team

126
00:15:02,870 --> 00:15:00,880
that has worked so hard to get our

127
00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:02,880
astronauts ready and of course we're

128
00:15:05,990 --> 00:15:04,720
exceptionally grateful to our astronauts

129
00:15:08,470 --> 00:15:06,000
themselves

130
00:15:10,150 --> 00:15:08,480
it's important to note that

131
00:15:11,509 --> 00:15:10,160
back in 2012

132
00:15:13,110 --> 00:15:11,519
when you think about the commercial

133
00:15:15,509 --> 00:15:13,120
launch industry

134
00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:15,519
the united states of america had

135
00:15:20,069 --> 00:15:18,000
zero percent of the global market share

136
00:15:21,990 --> 00:15:20,079
in commercial space launch because of

137
00:15:24,629 --> 00:15:22,000
the investments of nasa

138
00:15:26,389 --> 00:15:24,639
uh for the the last you know 10 years

139
00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:26,399
because of these investments commercial

140
00:15:31,509 --> 00:15:29,279
resupply and now commercial crew

141
00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:31,519
70 over 70 percent of the commercial

142
00:15:36,389 --> 00:15:34,399
launch market is american this is really

143
00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:36,399
about launching america

144
00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:37,600
and doing it in a way that is

145
00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:39,440
competitive where we can get the

146
00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:41,680
absolute best value for every dollar

147
00:15:45,509 --> 00:15:44,000
that the american taxpayer gives us so

148
00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:45,519
this is the transformation that's

149
00:15:48,629 --> 00:15:47,279
happening and and we are extremely

150
00:15:50,629 --> 00:15:48,639
excited about it

151
00:15:52,150 --> 00:15:50,639
i will say um

152
00:15:53,990 --> 00:15:52,160
we're here today to recognize the

153
00:15:55,670 --> 00:15:54,000
astronauts who are of course in

154
00:15:57,749 --> 00:15:55,680
quarantine

155
00:16:00,150 --> 00:15:57,759
and getting ready for what will be

156
00:16:01,430 --> 00:16:00,160
another historic flight

157
00:16:03,509 --> 00:16:01,440
i'm going to introduce the mission

158
00:16:04,790 --> 00:16:03,519

160
00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:06,959
an air force test flight engineer by

161
00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:09,600
trade he's also an aerospace engineer

162

kind of fine-tuning

186
00:17:08,789 --> 00:17:07,760
our training and we've also had an

187
00:17:10,949 --> 00:17:08,799
opportunity to spend a little bit of

188
00:17:13,990 --> 00:17:10,959
time at home with our families

said we're starting this new era where

192
00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:21,120
we're going to rotate crews to the

before we do that

316
00:22:45,029 --> 00:22:43,360
we have one other person to introduce

317
00:22:46,310 --> 00:22:45,039
when we think about our partners in

318
00:22:49,590 --> 00:22:46,320
japan

319
00:22:51,750 --> 00:22:49,600
uh there there isn't a better partner

320
00:22:54,310 --> 00:22:51,760
when it comes to space exploration than

321
00:22:57,029 --> 00:22:54,320
the nation of japan and we are grateful

322
00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:57,039
for all of the activities the astronauts

323
00:23:02,310 --> 00:22:59,520
the capabilities uh that japan has

324
00:23:04,390 --> 00:23:02,320
produced uh really for the community of

325
00:23:06,870 --> 00:23:04,400
nations that has that has been exploring

326
00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:06,880
space now for decades

327
00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:09,120
and i want to introduce uh somebody

328
00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:11,200
that's very important to nasa

329
00:23:15,270 --> 00:23:13,280
but i want to start by saying this

330
00:23:17,110 --> 00:23:15,280
when we look at the the budget for the

331
00:23:18,950 --> 00:23:17,120
united states as it relates to space

332
00:23:21,190 --> 00:23:18,960
exploration as i said before it is

333
00:23:22,390 --> 00:23:21,200
higher now in nominal dollars than it's

334
00:23:24,470 --> 00:23:22,400
ever been it's been on the right

335
00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:24,480
trajectory going up

336
00:23:27,909 --> 00:23:26,720
and that's also true in another nation

337
00:23:29,510 --> 00:23:27,919
japan

338
00:23:30,789 --> 00:23:29,520
who has been an amazing partner and

339
00:23:32,470 --> 00:23:30,799
they've seen what we're trying to

340
00:23:34,070 --> 00:23:32,480
accomplish with artemis they're

341
00:23:36,149 --> 00:23:34,080
committed to it and of course we've seen

342
00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:36,159
a budget request in japan that has

343
00:23:41,430 --> 00:23:38,320
increased their budget by about 50

344
00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:41,440
percent which is amazing so we are so

345
00:23:45,510 --> 00:23:43,520

marcia dunn associated press for

399
00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:18,640
commander hopkins um when you chose the

400
00:26:22,470 --> 00:26:20,240
name resilience

401
00:26:25,029 --> 00:26:22,480
i know you primarily were thinking

402
00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:25,039
pandemic but now your flight is coming

403
00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:27,679
on the heels of a drawn out into a very

404
00:26:32,789 --> 00:26:30,480
difficult campaign and election so your

405
00:26:34,470 --> 00:26:32,799
name has double duty in a way could you

406
00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:34,480
talk about what message you want to send

407
00:26:39,269 --> 00:26:36,480
with the name of your capsule resilience

408
00:26:41,990 --> 00:26:39,279
especially in light of current events

409
00:26:43,350 --> 00:26:42,000
certainly uh thank you very much uh you

410
00:26:44,789 --> 00:26:43,360
know we

411
00:26:47,350 --> 00:26:44,799
we spent uh

412
00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:47,360
a good afternoon talking about

413
00:26:51,750 --> 00:26:49,520
what name we wanted for for this vehicle

414
00:26:54,390 --> 00:26:51,760
and there were a lot of really really

415
00:26:56,149 --> 00:26:54,400
good options

416
00:26:58,070 --> 00:26:56,159
but i'll i guess i'll uh i'll kind of

417
00:27:00,710 --> 00:26:58,080
equate it to when

418
00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:00,720
my wife and i named our second son

419
00:27:07,510 --> 00:27:04,000
and we had a couple of names picked out

420
00:27:09,750 --> 00:27:07,520
and we didn't know um until he was born

421
00:27:12,470 --> 00:27:09,760
what what his name would be and uh when

422
00:27:14,470 --> 00:27:12,480
he came out it was like this is lucas

423
00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:14,480
and and so it was the same thing for us

424
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:17,200
as we were going through these names um

425
00:27:20,549 --> 00:27:18,480
and we had them all written out on a

426
00:27:22,710 --> 00:27:20,559
whiteboard and and did all kinds of

427
00:27:23,750 --> 00:27:22,720
voting and this and that but but at the

428
00:27:26,389 --> 00:27:23,760
end

429
00:27:27,510 --> 00:27:26,399
it just felt right and it felt right

430
00:27:29,190 --> 00:27:27,520
because

431
00:27:30,549 --> 00:27:29,200
as you mentioned this has been a tough

432
00:27:31,669 --> 00:27:30,559
year it's been a tough year for

433
00:27:35,430 --> 00:27:31,679
everybody

434
00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:35,440
for a lot of different reasons and

435
00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:36,640
we felt like

436
00:27:41,190 --> 00:27:39,200
if the name of our vehicle

437
00:27:42,389 --> 00:27:41,200
could give a little hope a little

438
00:27:44,950 --> 00:27:42,399
inspiration

439
00:27:46,630 --> 00:27:44,960
put a smile on people's face

440
00:27:48,230 --> 00:27:46,640
then that is definitely what we wanted

441
00:27:50,310 --> 00:27:48,240
to do and we felt like resilience was

442
00:27:52,310 --> 00:27:50,320
the name that did that and so it's not

443
00:27:54,630 --> 00:27:52,320
something just for us

444
00:27:56,389 --> 00:27:54,640
um as a crew but we thought that uh it

445
00:27:57,590 --> 00:27:56,399
also would resonate with with everybody

446
00:28:00,149 --> 00:27:57,600
not only

447
00:28:02,310 --> 00:28:00,159
in that follow space but everybody in

448
00:28:07,510 --> 00:28:02,320
the country everybody around the world

449
00:28:11,830 --> 00:28:10,389
hi i'm irene klotz with aviation week

450
00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:11,840
it's question i think is maybe for

451
00:28:17,110 --> 00:28:14,640
suichi since you've gone through

452
00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:17,120
now training on three different vehicles

453
00:28:21,430 --> 00:28:19,360
to get to the iss

454
00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:21,440
what do you think's been like some of

455
00:28:27,750 --> 00:28:22,480
the most

456
00:28:29,909 --> 00:28:27,760
aspects of now being part of this spacex

457
00:28:37,990 --> 00:28:29,919
commercial crew era compared to what

458
00:28:42,310 --> 00:28:39,909
thank you very much for questions and uh

459
00:28:44,870 --> 00:28:42,320
yes i was very fortunate enough to

460
00:28:48,310 --> 00:28:44,880
experience space shuttle like colonel uh

461
00:28:49,269 --> 00:28:48,320
cabana and soyuz like uh hopper and the

462
00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:49,279
shannon

463
00:28:53,350 --> 00:28:51,600
and this is uh the great experience

464
00:28:55,110 --> 00:28:53,360
actually believe me uh the spacex has

465
00:28:56,149 --> 00:28:55,120
been a great partner i was really a

466
00:28:59,990 --> 00:28:56,159
surprise

467
00:29:01,590 --> 00:29:00,000
way they handle the training and the

468
00:29:03,750 --> 00:29:01,600
preparation for the flight so i have a

469
00:29:06,950 --> 00:29:03,760
full confidence continue with the rest

470
00:29:09,990 --> 00:29:06,960
of the mission and our crew is obviously

471
00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:10,000
a very nice crew

472
00:29:14,070 --> 00:29:12,320
the hopper is a great leader and ike

473
00:29:16,230 --> 00:29:14,080
knows uh very good i have a good

474
00:29:18,470 --> 00:29:16,240
experience with his test flight

475
00:29:21,190 --> 00:29:18,480
background and shannon we spent a long

476
00:29:23,430 --> 00:29:21,200
time we're the uh columbia survivor so

477
00:29:26,149 --> 00:29:23,440
uh all four of us have a great history

478
00:29:30,330 --> 00:29:26,159
on the space flight and our crew is

479
00:29:35,909 --> 00:29:32,789
[Applause]

480
00:29:38,470 --> 00:29:35,919
uh sam suzuki with nhk for mr noguchi

481
00:29:38,480 --> 00:30:33,190
i'll be asking the question in japanese

482
00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:35,350
hello steven clark from space flight now

483
00:30:39,269 --> 00:30:38,080
my question is for shannon walker

484
00:30:40,389 --> 00:30:39,279
since you've launched from baikonur

485
00:30:42,389 --> 00:30:40,399
before i just wanted to get your

486
00:30:44,710 --> 00:30:42,399
thoughts um on the differences maybe

487
00:30:46,950 --> 00:30:44,720
different feelings different emotions

488
00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:46,960
coming down to uh the space coast to

489
00:30:51,269 --> 00:30:49,440
launch from american soil compared to

490
00:30:52,870 --> 00:30:51,279
your experience launching from baikonur

491
00:30:54,630 --> 00:30:52,880
thank you

492
00:30:55,590 --> 00:30:54,640
yeah thanks um

493
00:30:56,950 --> 00:30:55,600
you know

494
00:30:58,470 --> 00:30:56,960
it's really interesting because i've

495
00:31:00,789 --> 00:30:58,480
been involved in the international space

496
00:31:03,590 --> 00:31:00,799
station program for so many years and

497
00:31:07,029 --> 00:31:03,600
have had the privilege of of training

498
00:31:08,710 --> 00:31:07,039
and working with our partners um in all

499
00:31:10,710 --> 00:31:08,720
the countries that are part of the

500
00:31:14,230 --> 00:31:10,720
partnership and and while there may be

501
00:31:15,909 --> 00:31:14,240
some subtle differences um basically

502
00:31:18,710 --> 00:31:15,919
underneath it all it's all about the

503
00:31:20,870 --> 00:31:18,720
same and so going to baikonur yep you're

504
00:31:23,190 --> 00:31:20,880
going to a desert somewhere

505
00:31:25,909 --> 00:31:23,200
they've got their traditions on

506
00:31:28,389 --> 00:31:25,919
launch preparations and coming here to

507
00:31:30,389 --> 00:31:28,399
florida in a lot of ways it's very

508
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:30,399
familiar it's the same we do things a

509
00:31:35,110 --> 00:31:33,360
little bit different

510
00:31:37,430 --> 00:31:35,120
it's certainly different

511
00:31:39,830 --> 00:31:37,440
countryside but um and it's in english

512
00:31:41,990 --> 00:31:39,840
which is a nice bonus for me

513
00:31:43,509 --> 00:31:42,000
but but really the the preparation

514
00:31:45,430 --> 00:31:43,519
leading up to launch is the same it's

515
00:31:46,789 --> 00:31:45,440
the same excitement it's the same focus

516
00:31:48,470 --> 00:31:46,799
it's the same

517
00:31:50,230 --> 00:31:48,480
dedication by the teams getting you

518
00:31:51,590 --> 00:31:50,240
ready to go so

519
00:31:57,269 --> 00:31:51,600
i would say there's more similarities

520
00:32:01,269 --> 00:31:59,269
hi emory kelly with with florida today

521
00:32:03,750 --> 00:32:01,279
perhaps this is for uh commander hopkins

522
00:32:06,149 --> 00:32:03,760
or mr bridenstine i'm wondering compared

523
00:32:07,830 --> 00:32:06,159
to two crew versus four

524
00:32:10,070 --> 00:32:07,840
how the quarantine procedures are

525
00:32:11,909 --> 00:32:10,080
different with double

526
00:32:13,909 --> 00:32:11,919
uh the crew members and and basically

527
00:32:15,590 --> 00:32:13,919
how that's been going so far for you

528
00:32:19,190 --> 00:32:15,600
thank you

529
00:32:22,149 --> 00:32:19,200
i don't think it's really been that much

530
00:32:23,509 --> 00:32:22,159
different um the certainly with with the

531
00:32:25,750 --> 00:32:23,519
pandemic

532
00:32:27,669 --> 00:32:25,760
it's it's changed things a little bit we

533
00:32:29,190 --> 00:32:27,679
really went into a quarantine status at

534
00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:29,200
about the three week

535
00:32:33,269 --> 00:32:31,120
point versus uh maybe in the past we

536
00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:33,279
would have done it at two weeks uh but

537
00:32:37,669 --> 00:32:36,240
in general um for the four of us uh it's

538
00:32:39,430 --> 00:32:37,679
you know we've like i said we've had an

539
00:32:40,710 --> 00:32:39,440
opportunity to spend a little time with

540
00:32:42,470 --> 00:32:40,720
our families our families went into

541
00:32:44,310 --> 00:32:42,480
quarantine as well with us

542
00:32:46,070 --> 00:32:44,320
which i also think has has been maybe a

543
00:32:48,470 --> 00:32:46,080
little bit different than than in the

544
00:32:49,909 --> 00:32:48,480
past but but overall it's worked out

545
00:32:51,029 --> 00:32:49,919
pretty well

546
00:32:53,350 --> 00:32:51,039
and i will say i'll take this

547
00:32:55,990 --> 00:32:53,360
opportunity to just

548
00:32:57,430 --> 00:32:56,000
thank the from nasa and the spacex part

549
00:32:59,190 --> 00:32:57,440
you know we've been doing our training

550
00:33:01,430 --> 00:32:59,200
now in fact shannon and suici have been

551
00:33:03,669 --> 00:33:01,440
with us basically they came on board

552
00:33:05,269 --> 00:33:03,679
about the time the pandemic started and

553
00:33:08,389 --> 00:33:05,279
so the training flow that we've done

554
00:33:10,549 --> 00:33:08,399
over the past six seven eight months has

555
00:33:13,269 --> 00:33:10,559
been in that environment and i can't say

556
00:33:16,230 --> 00:33:13,279
enough about what nasa and what spacex

557
00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:16,240
has done to keep us safe to to keep our

558
00:33:19,909 --> 00:33:17,760
families safe throughout throughout the

559
00:33:22,070 --> 00:33:19,919
whole training process so it's it hasn't

560
00:33:23,350 --> 00:33:22,080
really just been the last three weeks i

561
00:33:24,789 --> 00:33:23,360
i really gotta say it's been the last

562
00:33:26,389 --> 00:33:24,799
eight months it's it's been pretty

563
00:33:30,470 --> 00:33:26,399
incredible to see

564
00:33:34,149 --> 00:33:31,990

584
00:34:14,310 --> 00:34:12,720

hard to put into words so i'm really

589
00:34:38,790 --> 00:34:36,310
marcia done ap again i'm just wondering

590
00:34:40,470 --> 00:34:38,800
um this upcoming week um

591
00:34:43,349 --> 00:34:40,480
how much attention are you going to be

592
00:34:44,230 --> 00:34:43,359
playing paying to storms weather

593
00:34:46,069 --> 00:34:44,240
and

594
00:34:48,389 --> 00:34:46,079
do you have any new traditions you might

595
00:34:53,829 --> 00:34:48,399
be starting this week for uh for this

596
00:34:57,030 --> 00:34:55,750
uh yeah from the from the weather

597
00:34:58,790 --> 00:34:57,040
standpoint yes we're going to be

598
00:35:01,430 --> 00:34:58,800
following it very closely

599
00:35:03,510 --> 00:35:01,440
i think we've already started

600
00:35:05,910 --> 00:35:03,520
several days ago actually getting the

601
00:35:08,310 --> 00:35:05,920
weather briefs on on what we thought

602
00:35:10,310 --> 00:35:08,320
it's going to look like next weekend

603
00:35:12,470 --> 00:35:10,320
clearly that it's potentially going to

604
00:35:14,790 --> 00:35:12,480
have an impact i think we've moved the

605
00:35:17,670 --> 00:35:14,800
static fire from tomorrow to the next

606
00:35:20,150 --> 00:35:17,680
day because of the weather conditions so

607
00:35:21,829 --> 00:35:20,160
we'll adapt we'll adjust and uh and

608
00:35:23,589 --> 00:35:21,839
we'll be ready to go when the red when

609
00:35:25,750 --> 00:35:23,599
the weather is ready as well

610
00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:25,760
as far as traditions you know shannon

611
00:35:29,030 --> 00:35:27,680
mentioned it when you launch with the

612
00:35:30,390 --> 00:35:29,040
soyuz

613
00:35:32,069 --> 00:35:30,400
there are a lot of traditions that

614
00:35:34,150 --> 00:35:32,079
they've they've been doing for a lot of

615
00:35:36,630 --> 00:35:34,160
years going all the way back to when

616
00:35:38,710 --> 00:35:36,640
yuri gagarin first launched

617
00:35:42,069 --> 00:35:38,720
we did have an opportunity this morning

618
00:35:43,349 --> 00:35:42,079
to uh to start a new tradition for us

619
00:35:45,030 --> 00:35:43,359
we actually took it a little bit from

620
00:35:46,550 --> 00:35:45,040
the russian side and we had a departure

621
00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:46,560
breakfast with all of our family and the

622
00:35:49,589 --> 00:35:47,760
folks that have been in quarantine that

623
00:35:51,589 --> 00:35:49,599
are going to be with us and and that was

624
00:35:52,710 --> 00:35:51,599
really the first time that we've had a

625
00:35:55,430 --> 00:35:52,720
chance as

626
00:35:57,589 --> 00:35:55,440
as a family and the leadership

627
00:35:59,270 --> 00:35:57,599
and the support folks to come together

628
00:36:00,790 --> 00:35:59,280
and be together in fact it might be the

629
00:36:02,470 --> 00:36:00,800
only chance we have because once we get

630
00:36:04,150 --> 00:36:02,480
into this week we're all going to be

631
00:36:06,069 --> 00:36:04,160
going in a lot of different in different

632
00:36:07,990 --> 00:36:06,079
directions and so that was a nice

633
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:08,000
opportunity just to

634
00:36:13,190 --> 00:36:10,720
to say hi and thank you and and see each

635
00:36:16,630 --> 00:36:13,200
other one last time before uh before we

636
00:36:19,910 --> 00:36:16,640
rock it out of here thanks

637
00:36:21,750 --> 00:36:19,920
time for two more two more questions

638
00:36:23,750 --> 00:36:21,760
hi stephen clark space flight now again

639
00:36:25,589 --> 00:36:23,760
for commander hopkins um i think you're

640
00:36:27,510 --> 00:36:25,599
going to be sworn into the space force

641
00:36:28,710 --> 00:36:27,520
while you're on the space station and i

642
00:36:30,310 --> 00:36:28,720
wanted to get your thoughts on the

643
00:36:32,710 --> 00:36:30,320
significance of being the first space

644
00:36:35,109 --> 00:36:32,720
force astronaut and also just some

645
00:36:36,630 --> 00:36:35,119
background on how the process uh went uh

646
00:36:38,550 --> 00:36:36,640
did you request to be transferred to the

647
00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:38,560
space force or did that come down from

648
00:36:41,670 --> 00:36:40,480
the top thank you

649
00:36:43,030 --> 00:36:41,680
no it it

650
00:36:45,910 --> 00:36:43,040
so i'll start with that one it

651
00:36:47,589 --> 00:36:45,920
definitely was a request um

652
00:36:49,430 --> 00:36:47,599
you know we've we've had a long

653
00:36:51,589 --> 00:36:49,440
relationship uh nasa has had a long

654
00:36:53,589 --> 00:36:51,599
relationship with the dod

655
00:36:55,910 --> 00:36:53,599
and and so this is just going to be a

656
00:36:58,470 --> 00:36:55,920
continuation of that relationship as

657
00:37:01,829 --> 00:36:58,480
we've added a new service a new military

658
00:37:04,390 --> 00:37:01,839
service to to the ranks and and so uh um

659
00:37:07,589 --> 00:37:04,400
as i've had an opportunity to to work

660
00:37:09,510 --> 00:37:07,599
what uh what was air force space command

661
00:37:12,150 --> 00:37:09,520
that transitioned into now the space

662
00:37:13,829 --> 00:37:12,160
force and and so i was already uh

663
00:37:16,950 --> 00:37:13,839
working with and talking with the folks

664
00:37:19,190 --> 00:37:16,960
in that in that group and and so

665
00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:19,200
when the space force stood up it was a

666
00:37:23,190 --> 00:37:21,040
it was a natural question to ask of what

667
00:37:26,069 --> 00:37:23,200
are the opportunities to come over

668
00:37:27,990 --> 00:37:26,079
i feel very honored to to get to have

669
00:37:29,190 --> 00:37:28,000
that opportunity to do the transition

670
00:37:32,069 --> 00:37:29,200
while i am

671
00:37:33,990 --> 00:37:32,079
up on orbit but again i think that just

672
00:37:36,390 --> 00:37:34,000
recognizes this strong relationship that

673
00:37:37,990 --> 00:37:36,400
we have with with nasa and the military

674
00:37:39,990 --> 00:37:38,000
and i think it's a pretty special one

675
00:37:42,950 --> 00:37:40,000
thank you
