[ MUSIC ]

2
00:00:09,801 --> 00:00:10,218
>> RIGHT NOW,

3
00:00:10,218 --> 00:00:11,386
AN AMERICAN ASTRONAUT,

4
00:00:11,386 --> 00:00:12,637
A JAPANESE ASTRONAUT,

5
00:00:12,637 --> 00:00:14,055
AND A RUSSIAN COSMONAUT

6
00:00:14,055 --> 00:00:15,306
ARE STRAPPED INSIDE

7
00:00:15,306 --> 00:00:17,308
OF A SOYUZ SPACECRAFT.

8
00:00:17,308 --> 00:00:18,435
>> THERE'S ALWAYS THE, UH,

9
00:00:18,435 --> 00:00:19,728
WHY DID YOU CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN?

10
00:00:19,728 --> 00:00:21,271
BECAUSE IT'S THERE.

11
00:00:21,271 --> 00:00:22,731
WE ALL TRAVEL DOWN THE STREET,

12
00:00:22,731 --> 00:00:23,481
WE LOOK OUT THE WINDOW,

13
00:00:23,481 --> 00:00:24,524
WE'RE IN THE BACKYARD,

14
00:00:24,524 --> 00:00:25,900
THE MOON'S OUT THERE.

15
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:26,735
YOU CAN'T MISS IT,

16
00:00:26,735 --> 00:00:27,694
IT'S BEAUTIFUL,

17
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:29,654
IT'S THERE EVERY DAY.

18
00:00:29,654 --> 00:00:30,321
WHY WOULD WE NOT

19
00:00:30,321 --> 00:00:31,448
WANT TO GO THERE?

20
00:00:31,448 --> 00:00:32,907
WE NEED TO GO THERE.

21
00:00:32,907 --> 00:00:34,284
>> ONE MINUTE TEN SECONDS

22
00:00:34,284 --> 00:00:35,952
AWAY FROM LIFTOFF.

23
00:00:35,952 --> 00:00:37,620
>> I WAS IN, UH, JUNIOR HIGH.

24
00:00:37,620 --> 00:00:38,329
THE TEACHER ASKED,

25
00:00:38,329 --> 00:00:38,788
"WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE

26
00:00:38,788 --> 00:00:39,789
WHEN YOU GROW UP?"

27
00:00:39,789 --> 00:00:40,874
AND EVERYONE WAS SAYING,

28
00:00:40,874 --> 00:00:42,125
"I WANT TO BE A PLUMBER,

29
00:00:42,125 --> 00:00:43,042
I WANT TO BE AN ARCHITECT,

30
00:00:43,042 --> 00:00:44,252
I WANT TO BE AN ACCOUNTANT."

31
00:00:44,252 --> 00:00:45,462
AND I SAID,

32
00:00:45,462 --> 00:00:47,046
"I WANT TO BE AN ASTRONAUT."

33
00:00:47,046 --> 00:00:47,589
AND LITERALLY,

34
00:00:47,589 --> 00:00:49,966
EVERYONE IN THE CLASS LAUGHED.

35
00:00:49,966 --> 00:00:50,425
BUT THEN, THE TEACHER

36
00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:52,093
LOOKED AT ME AND SAID,

37
00:00:52,093 --> 00:00:53,428
"RIGHT ON."

38
00:00:53,428 --> 00:00:55,221
>> AND LIFTOFF.

39
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:55,972
SCOTT TINGLE,

40
00:00:55,972 --> 00:00:57,182
ANTON SHKAPLEROV,

41
00:00:57,182 --> 00:00:58,558
AND NORISHIGE KANAI

42
00:00:58,558 --> 00:00:59,225
ON THEIR WAY TO

43
00:00:59,225 --> 00:01:01,519
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.

44
00:01:01,519 --> 00:01:02,771
>> LOOK, THIS IS, UH, EVOLUTION.

45
00:01:02,771 --> 00:01:03,521
WE DIDN'T ALWAYS

46
00:01:03,521 --> 00:01:04,355
HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY

47
00:01:04,355 --> 00:01:05,190
AND THE CAPABILITY

48
00:01:05,190 --> 00:01:06,316
THAT WE HAVE TODAY.

49
00:01:06,316 --> 00:01:06,858
WE DIDN'T ALWAYS

50
00:01:06,858 --> 00:01:07,859
HAVE AUTOMOBILES,

51
00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:08,735
WE WEREN'T ALWAYS ABLE

52
00:01:08,735 --> 00:01:10,570
TO JUST JUMP IN A VEHICLE

53
00:01:10,570 --> 00:01:12,071
AND TRAVEL FOR 16 HOURS

54
00:01:12,071 --> 00:01:12,614
AND GET TO THE OTHER

55
00:01:12,614 --> 00:01:13,865
SIDE OF THE COUNTRY.

56
00:01:13,865 --> 00:01:15,408
SO THIS IS THE NEXT STEP

57
00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:16,701
IN EVOLUTION,

58
00:01:16,701 --> 00:01:18,661
TO BE ABLE TO TAKE SYSTEMS

59
00:01:18,661 --> 00:01:20,288
AND HONE OUR PROCESSES

60
00:01:20,288 --> 00:01:21,498
AND GET OUR OPERATIONS DOWN

61
00:01:21,498 --> 00:01:22,999
SO THAT WE CAN SET UP CAMP

62
00:01:22,999 --> 00:01:24,000
ON A PLACE THAT'S DIFFERENT

63
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,460
FROM EARTH SO THAT WE CAN

64
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:26,461
CONDUCT SCIENCE THAT'LL

65
00:01:26,461 --> 00:01:28,630
BETTER HUMAN KIND.

66
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:29,756
THIS WAS JUST A DREAM WHEN I--

67
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:31,216
WHEN I FIRST MET MY WIFE.

68
00:01:31,216 --> 00:01:32,383
YOU KNOW, WAS IT GONNA HAPPEN,

69
00:01:32,383 --> 00:01:33,343
WAS IT NOT GONNA HAPPEN?

70
00:01:33,343 --> 00:01:34,010
WHO KNOWS?

71
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:34,803
BUT WE'RE HERE,

72
00:01:34,803 --> 00:01:36,471
AND WE'RE DOING IT,

73
00:01:36,471 --> 00:01:38,473
AND EVERY STEP WE TAKE

74
00:01:38,473 --> 00:01:39,933
IS BOTH A CHALLENGE

75
00:01:39,933 --> 00:01:41,142
AND A REWARD.

76
00:01:41,142 --> 00:01:43,102
AND TO BE ABLE TO LIVE THAT LIFE

77
00:01:43,102 --> 00:01:44,604
AND-AND LOOK BACK AT THE TRACK

78
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:46,523
THAT WE USED TO GET HERE

79
00:01:46,523 --> 00:01:48,900
IS, UH, IS JUST AMAZING.

80
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:49,818
LIFE IS PRETTY BUSY

81
00:01:49,818 --> 00:01:50,819
WHEN YOU HAVE LOFTY GOALS

82
00:01:50,819 --> 00:01:52,362
AND YOU'RE CONSTANTLY FOCUSED,

83
00:01:52,362 --> 00:01:53,488
YOU'RE CONSTANTLY WORKING

84
00:01:53,488 --> 00:01:55,031
TO GET POSITIVE RESULTS.

85
00:01:55,031 --> 00:01:56,282
BUT THAT MOMENT FOR ME

86
00:01:56,282 --> 00:01:57,909
WAS COMING OUT OF THE SOYUZ

87
00:01:57,909 --> 00:01:59,577
ON MY FIRST SPACEFLIGHT

88
00:01:59,577 --> 00:02:00,495
AND STANDING ON THE GROUND

89
00:02:00,495 --> 00:02:02,205
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SIX MONTHS

90
00:02:02,205 --> 00:02:05,124
AND REALIZING THAT I DID IT.

91
00:02:12,715 --> 00:02:14,008
>> IF YOU ENJOYED THIS VIDEO

92
00:02:14,008 --> 00:02:14,551
