00:16:12,079 because that's the space shuttle that i 212 00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:14,320 got to fly on so for me it's a familiar 213 00:16:18,069 --> 00:16:15,920 term to a spacecraft so i'm really 214 00:16:22,150 --> 00:16:18,079 excited to fly on this crew dragon 215 00:16:28,310 --> 00:16:24,550 all right how about mary liz bender with 216 00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:30,389 yeah thank you for taking my question 217 00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:32,160 megan you talked about the 218 00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:33,680 intense training that you've gone 219 00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:34,959 through in the last couple months and 220 00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:36,639 that's not something that we usually get 221 00:16:40,389 --> 00:16:37,680 to hear 222 00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:40,399 a lot about and you know you just you 223 00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:41,839 all just touched on the fact that this 224 00:16:45,670 --> 00:16:44,480 is a brand new vehicle so can you talk a 225 00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:45,680 little bit about some of the most 226 00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:47,600 intense parts of that training and then 227 00:16:52,710 --> 00:16:49,600 whatever it is that you have to do prior 228 00:16:54,629 --> 00:16:52,720 to launch from now until then 229 00:16:56,389 --> 00:16:54,639 sure really the most the thing that 230 00:16:58,790 --> 00:16:56,399 makes the training intense is just the 231 00:17:00,710 --> 00:16:58,800 volume and variety of the things that we 232 00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:00,720 have to cram into our brains before we 233 00:17:04,710 --> 00:17:03,120 get ready to launch so we're not only 234 00:17:06,549 --> 00:17:04,720 learning a brand new vehicle that we're 235 00:17:08,549 --> 00:17:06,559 going to launch in and how to monitor 236 00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:08,559 and operate in that vehicle but we're 237 00:17:12,549 --> 00:17:11,199 also uh learning all of the things that 238 00:17:14,630 --> 00:17:12,559 we're going to be expected to do while 239 00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:14,640 living aboard the space station and so 240 00:17:17,510 --> 00:17:16,160 that's not only caring for the space 241 00:17:19,909 --> 00:17:17,520 station but it's also conducting a 242 00:17:21,669 --> 00:17:19,919 variety of different science experiments 243 00:17:22,710 --> 00:17:21,679 that's really the goal of our being up 244 00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:22,720 there we'll be doing hundreds of 245 00:17:26,230 --> 00:17:24,400 different science experiments in the six 246 00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:26,240 months that were there so we can't train 247 00:17:29,350 --> 00:17:27,760 for every specific thing that we're 248 00:17:31,510 --> 00:17:29,360 going to be doing so we take a 249 00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:31,520 skills-based approach to our training 250 00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:33,760 and try to learn sort of broad based as 251 00:17:37,270 --> 00:17:35,280 much as we can across all of these 252 00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:37,280 different areas so that we can tackle 253 00:17:40,870 --> 00:17:38,480 all of the different things that come 254 00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:40,880 our way 255 00:17:46,789 --> 00:17:43,280 okay the next question is from mark caro 256 00:17:49,750 --> 00:17:46,799 with aviation week and space technology 257 00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:49,760 thank you very much mine's for shane and 258 00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:53,200 megan you're you're flying with a um 259 00:17:57,430 --> 00:17:54,240 represent 260 00:17:59,909 --> 00:17:57,440 an international crew that sort of to me 261 00:18:02,150 --> 00:17:59,919 looks a little bit out to do what things 262 00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:02,160 might be like for artemis and i'm just 263 00:18:06,470 --> 00:18:04,799 wondering if you if you have any sort of 264 00:18:09,029 --> 00:18:06,480 sense 265 00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:09,039 of how that experience of flying 266 00:18:12,549 --> 00:18:10,880 internationally with 267 00:18:14,230 --> 00:18:12,559 partners 268 00:18:16,390 --> 00:18:14,240 that are uh 269 00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:16,400 joining nasa for artemis 270 00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:17,280 um 271 00:18:21,510 --> 00:18:19,120 how does that sort of feed into the 272 00:18:23,350 --> 00:18:21,520 future 273 00:18:25,190 --> 00:18:23,360 thanks mark we've been you know doing 274 00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:25,200 this playing with international partners 275 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,960 for many decades now which has been 276 00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:28,480 fantastic it makes 277 00:18:33,430 --> 00:18:31,280 you know all of our agencies stronger it 278 00:18:35,350 --> 00:18:33,440 makes our crews longer and we're excited 279 00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:35,360 to have a very diverse crew if you look 280 00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:38,320 at issa and jaxa and nasa together 281 00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:39,360 and 282 00:18:42,150 --> 00:18:40,480 of course like you mentioned it's going 283 00:18:43,510 --> 00:18:42,160 to be part of the artemis program as 284 00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:43,520 well we hope 285 00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:45,120 more partners will join that as we go 286 00:18:49,029 --> 00:18:46,960 forward but really looking forward to 287 00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:49,039 our crew flying together and experience 288 00:18:54,070 --> 00:18:52,320 in this this international crew 289 00:18:55,830 --> 00:18:54,080 mark you've said that i myself are going 290 00:18:57,190 --> 00:18:55,840 to fly to the moon on an artemis flight 291 00:18:58,789 --> 00:18:57,200 that's why that's what i get from your 292 00:19:00,070 --> 00:18:58,799 question so i'm happy that you're 293 00:19:02,789 --> 00:19:00,080 pointing that out 294 00:19:04,390 --> 00:19:02,799 [Laughter] 295 00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:04,400 that's awesome i'm sure he wishes he 296 00:19:07,990 --> 00:19:05,919 could make the rules 297 00:19:10,789 --> 00:19:08,000 um let's go to trevor cesnik with 298 00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:10,799 everyday astronaut 299 00:19:15,110 --> 00:19:13,280 uh yes hello 300 00:19:16,950 --> 00:19:15,120 i was wondering if megan or shane could 301 00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:16,960 talk about the big adventures from the 302 00:19:21,510 --> 00:19:19,840 shuttle iva suit to the spacex iba suit 303 00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:21,520 and then if anything that you guys are 304 00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:22,720 going to miss 305 00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:29,110 go ahead megan sure so i i think your 306 00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:31,440 question is asking us to compare the 307 00:19:35,350 --> 00:19:34,000 suit that we wear during ask an entry on 308 00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:35,360 the space shuttle to the suit that we 309 00:19:39,190 --> 00:19:37,360 wear for ascent and entry 310 00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:39,200 for the spacex vehicle so i'm going to 311 00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:41,200 address that question um we have spent a 312 00:19:44,549 --> 00:19:42,799 lot of time very recently actually 313 00:19:47,350 --> 00:19:44,559 working with the suit design teams at 314 00:19:49,190 --> 00:19:47,360 spacex to really customize our suits 315 00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:49,200 they're very fitted in a way that our 316 00:19:53,270 --> 00:19:51,200 space our space shuttle suits were not 317 00:19:55,830 --> 00:19:53,280 the space shuttle suits were designed 318 00:19:58,310 --> 00:19:55,840 more generically to fit a wider group of 319 00:20:00,310 --> 00:19:58,320 people and so they're looser and which 320 00:20:03,190 --> 00:20:00,320 makes them sort of easier to move around 321 00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:03,200 and easier to get on and off um the 322 00:20:08,549 --> 00:20:06,320 spacex suits are definitely more uh more 323 00:20:10,149 --> 00:20:08,559 custom fit more tailored and so that 324 00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:10,159 does present some challenges when 325 00:20:13,669 --> 00:20:11,679 getting in and out of the suits but the 326 00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:13,679 suits are highly capable most important 327 00:20:17,830 --> 00:20:15,520 thing about any spacesuit is that it 328 00:20:20,390 --> 00:20:17,840 keeps you safe in any emergency 329 00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:20,400 situation and it doesn't impede your 330 00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:22,240 normal activities that you do to operate 331 00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:24,080 the spaceship and so i would say that 332 00:20:28,470 --> 00:20:26,320 both both of the suits both for shuttle 333 00:20:31,750 --> 00:20:28,480 and for the crew dragon are able to meet 334 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:38,230 okay the next question is from nhk 335 00:20:41,909 --> 00:20:40,310 i think you will take my question 336 00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:41,919 well i have a question for jack pastor 337 00:20:46,390 --> 00:20:44,320 another hoshide sound here uh so this is 338 00:20:47,830 --> 00:20:46,400 the third flight to space and uh what is 339 00:20:49,029 --> 00:20:47,840 the application for the flight then have 340 00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:49,039 one question 341 00:20:53,350 --> 00:20:50,400 and you'll be the second japanese 342 00:20:54,549 --> 00:20:53,360 commander expedition 65 so can i have 343 00:20:58,230 --> 00:20:54,559 your thoughts on how you're going to 344 00:21:00,630 --> 00:20:58,240 lead this diverse crew as a commander 345 00:21:02,549 --> 00:21:00,640 sure um i didn't get your first question 346 00:21:05,909 --> 00:21:02,559 because you repeat that 347 00:21:08,549 --> 00:21:05,919 oh sure uh so this is uh this is uh 348 00:21:10,789 --> 00:21:08,559 third flight to space and so i'd like to 349 00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:10,799 hear his uh 350 00:21:16,549 --> 00:21:14,240 anticipation for the flight 351 00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:16,559 okay yeah it's uh it's my third flight 352 00:21:22,390 --> 00:21:19,120 so uh you know and especially third 353 00:21:25,430 --> 00:21:22,400 flight to station so i know what it's 354 00:21:26,310 --> 00:21:25,440 like to live and uh work there 355 00:21:28,149 --> 00:21:26,320 um 356 00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:28,159 of course uh there's been a lot of 357 00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:30,960 upgrades since i've flown uh almost ten 358 00:21:37,350 --> 00:21:34,080 years ago nine years ago um 359 00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:37,360 but uh with this crew and uh the crew on 360 00:21:41,190 --> 00:21:39,760 board it will be a lot of fun a lot of 361 00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:41,200 uh you know 362 00:21:44,630 --> 00:21:42,880 different activities different 363 00:21:46,549 --> 00:21:44,640 experiments and i'm looking forward to 364 00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:46,559 that and uh 365 00:21:50,149 --> 00:21:48,880 with respect to being the commander of 366 00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:50,159 the station 367 00:21:53,430 --> 00:21:52,080 we don't know just yet when that's going 368 00:21:56,470 --> 00:21:53,440 to happen but 369 00:22:00,390 --> 00:21:56,480 i'm looking forward to just working with 370 00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:02,310 all right let's take a question from 371 00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:09,350 hi thanks for doing this um this 372 00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:11,440 question is for all of you just taking a 373 00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:12,799 step back and knowing that you're 374 00:22:16,630 --> 00:22:14,720 getting close to launch what are you 375 00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:16,640 most anxious or nervous about what if 376 00:22:19,990 --> 00:22:18,640 anything is keeping you up at night or 377 00:22:23,270 --> 00:22:20,000 giving you the jitters when you think 378 00:22:27,270 --> 00:22:25,270 come by you want to go yeah i can take 379 00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:27,280 that um there's i don't think there's 380 00:22:31,590 --> 00:22:29,520 anything really keep him keeping us at 381 00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:31,600 night because if you i mean if you worry 382 00:22:35,510 --> 00:22:34,000 too much in that in that line of work uh 383 00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:35,520 you're not gonna last very long so i 384 00:22:40,870 --> 00:22:38,320 think everybody's pretty relaxed um very 385 00:22:43,270 --> 00:22:40,880 professional but also relaxed uh i think 386 00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:43,280 we trust the system and nasa's put a 387 00:22:47,190 --> 00:22:45,120 system in work spacex as a system 388 00:22:49,029 --> 00:22:47,200 everybody's contributing everybody's 389 00:22:51,430 --> 00:22:49,039 doing part of the job and we have a lot 390 00:22:54,789 --> 00:22:51,440 of trust into that 391 00:22:56,310 --> 00:22:54,799 so nothing keeps us awake at night 392 00:22:57,990 --> 00:22:56,320 on the other hand like shane pointed out 393 00:22:58,950 --> 00:22:58,000 before it's a new vehicle so it's the 394 00:23:02,870 --> 00:22:58,960 third 395 00:23:04,549 --> 00:23:02,880 operational flight after the initial 396 00:23:06,870 --> 00:23:04,559 test flight 397 00:23:09,029 --> 00:23:06,880 so we need more data we need a lot of 398 00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:09,039 launchers we want this to become you 399 00:23:12,549 --> 00:23:11,200 know right away to get to the space 400 00:23:14,870 --> 00:23:12,559 station which means i don't know down 401 00:23:16,470 --> 00:23:14,880 the line hundreds of launchers maybe but 402 00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:16,480 we don't have this data yet we don't 403 00:23:20,390 --> 00:23:18,240 have the statistics so we're being maybe 404 00:23:22,470 --> 00:23:20,400 a little bit more cautious 405 00:23:24,230 --> 00:23:22,480 and we tend to double check everything 406 00:23:25,830 --> 00:23:24,240 and i think with that 407 00:23:28,149 --> 00:23:25,840 uh and the fact that everybody is doing 408 00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:28,159 their jobs uh it's gonna be flawless at 409 00:23:32,550 --> 00:23:30,720 least that's what i think about when i 410 00:23:33,750 --> 00:23:32,560 go to bed at night 411 00:23:35,029 --> 00:23:33,760 [Music] 412 00:23:36,870 --> 00:23:35,039 fantastic 413 00:23:40,230 --> 00:23:36,880 okay let's take a question from ken 414 00:23:42,149 --> 00:23:40,240 creamer with space up close 415 00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:42,159 hi thank you for taking my question and 416 00:23:46,950 --> 00:23:44,400 uh good luck to all four of you uh my 417 00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:46,960 question is for thomas pasquad you issa 418 00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:48,480 will be um 419 00:23:52,310 --> 00:23:50,400 having its first astronaut selection in 420 00:23:54,710 --> 00:23:52,320 about 11 years so i wonder if you could 421 00:23:55,830 --> 00:23:54,720 talk about uh what is your advice to 422 00:23:57,830 --> 00:23:55,840 them 423 00:23:59,590 --> 00:23:57,840 and uh also they're going to be a power 424 00:24:01,750 --> 00:23:59,600 astronaut could you comment about that 425 00:24:03,909 --> 00:24:01,760 and how often also do you think there 426 00:24:05,990 --> 00:24:03,919 will be flight opportunities for esa 427 00:24:08,789 --> 00:24:06,000 astronauts thank you 428 00:24:10,149 --> 00:24:08,799 that's a good question thanks um and uh 429 00:24:12,549 --> 00:24:10,159 indeed we don't have 430 00:24:13,669 --> 00:24:12,559 selections as frequently as nasa does 431 00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:13,679 because we 432 00:24:17,350 --> 00:24:15,360 simply have fewer flight opportunities 433 00:24:19,590 --> 00:24:17,360 to the space station 434 00:24:21,190 --> 00:24:19,600 but it was time i think to hire a new 435 00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:21,200 portion a new generation we've been 436 00:24:25,350 --> 00:24:23,760 around for 12 years already 437 00:24:28,470 --> 00:24:25,360 and so we're looking forward to having 438 00:24:30,390 --> 00:24:28,480 uh fresh blood and new talents 439 00:24:31,830 --> 00:24:30,400 now we're moving into a different era of 440 00:24:34,470 --> 00:24:31,840 human space flight we're going forward 441 00:24:36,310 --> 00:24:34,480 to the moon and uh hopefully it's gonna 442 00:24:39,029 --> 00:24:36,320 keep my generation busy in the years to 443 00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:39,039 come but we still have we still the iss 444 00:24:42,549 --> 00:24:40,640 um and all the flights that are 445 00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:42,559 associated to the with the iss in low 446 00:24:45,669 --> 00:24:44,159 earth orbit so hopefully those guys were 447 00:24:47,830 --> 00:24:45,679 gonna be there 448 00:24:49,669 --> 00:24:47,840 to start to start taking that part of 449 00:24:51,669 --> 00:24:49,679 the job um 450 00:24:53,350 --> 00:24:51,679 my advice to them you know you need 451 00:24:55,590 --> 00:24:53,360 three things i think to be a national 452 00:24:57,269 --> 00:24:55,600 adolescent you need to be to have some 453 00:24:58,950 --> 00:24:57,279 academic background because we're living 454 00:25:00,390 --> 00:24:58,960 in a technical scientific environment 455 00:25:01,590 --> 00:25:00,400 you need to have some operational 456 00:25:02,789 --> 00:25:01,600 experience 457 00:25:04,549 --> 00:25:02,799 because you're also in a dangerous 458 00:25:06,310 --> 00:25:04,559 environment and your decisions have 459 00:25:07,750 --> 00:25:06,320 consequences 460 00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:07,760 and you need to be international with 461 00:25:11,669 --> 00:25:09,520 the european space agency we speak all 462 00:25:14,070 --> 00:25:11,679 languages and look at us with japanese 463 00:25:15,590 --> 00:25:14,080 american russians and tomorrow maybe 464 00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:15,600 other nationalities onboard the space 465 00:25:19,909 --> 00:25:17,760 station so those are the things that 466 00:25:20,950 --> 00:25:19,919 those guys should have uh last part of 467 00:25:23,669 --> 00:25:20,960 your question 468 00:25:25,830 --> 00:25:23,679 we look at what it would take to send a 469 00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:25,840 handicapped person into because we're 470 00:25:31,669 --> 00:25:27,840 talking about inclusive we want to 471 00:25:33,269 --> 00:25:31,679 achieve that in every sector of society 472 00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:33,279 and so we're starting that project we 473 00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:35,440 don't really know how it's going to go 474 00:25:40,310 --> 00:25:37,440 we're going to study 475 00:25:41,909 --> 00:25:40,320 somebody hired during selection to help 476 00:25:43,430 --> 00:25:41,919 and then we'll talk to all the partners 477 00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:43,440 and we'll try to make it happen and 478 00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:44,880 that's going to be very exciting and uh 479 00:25:55,029 --> 00:25:50,470 all right let's take the next question 480 00:26:00,789 --> 00:25:58,789 hello my question concerns all the crew 481 00:26:03,190 --> 00:26:00,799 i was wondering if you are helping the 482 00:26:04,710 --> 00:26:03,200 russians with the naoka module and later 483 00:26:08,390 --> 00:26:04,720 we're shooting the film of director 484 00:26:12,789 --> 00:26:11,110 uh this is shane i'll start um 485 00:26:15,190 --> 00:26:12,799 yeah we haven't not been trained on that 486 00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:15,200 at all and we've just heard just a few 487 00:26:19,430 --> 00:26:16,480 things probably through the media like 488 00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:19,440 you have about the potential film but uh 489 00:26:24,230 --> 00:26:21,120 right now currently anyway we're not 490 00:26:26,549 --> 00:26:24,240 trained to help them out 491 00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:26,559 all right let's go okay 492 00:26:30,549 --> 00:26:28,640 i can jump on the on the european 493 00:26:33,510 --> 00:26:30,559 robotic arm there's a european arm that 494 00:26:36,710 --> 00:26:33,520 that comes up on that uh on that module 495 00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:36,720 um and i might have some tasks to to 496 00:26:40,789 --> 00:26:38,720 to perform with that european robotic 497 00:26:42,070 --> 00:26:40,799 arm so i've had some training but 498 00:26:45,350 --> 00:26:42,080 there's still some uncertainties in 499 00:26:46,870 --> 00:26:45,360 schedule so we'll we'll see what happens 500 00:26:49,269 --> 00:26:46,880 okay thank you 501 00:26:52,149 --> 00:26:49,279 the next question is from manuel masanti 502 00:26:54,310 --> 00:26:52,159 with debate 503 00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:54,320 so much and congratulations to the four 504 00:26:59,190 --> 00:26:56,080 of you for your upcoming mission and 505 00:27:03,029 --> 00:26:59,200 this is a question for aki um 506 00:27:05,350 --> 00:27:03,039 when q2 launches uh you will be on a 507 00:27:07,590 --> 00:27:05,360 very exclusive list of astronauts that 508 00:27:09,990 --> 00:27:07,600 has flown had a chance to to fly in 509 00:27:12,870 --> 00:27:10,000 three different spacecrafts along with 510 00:27:15,830 --> 00:27:12,880 uh with the chain as well uh but out of 511 00:27:18,149 --> 00:27:15,840 that least two are from japanese uh 512 00:27:20,549 --> 00:27:18,159 which is uh pretty remarkable what do 513 00:27:21,669 --> 00:27:20,559 you think about that 514 00:27:26,149 --> 00:27:21,679 so 515 00:27:29,029 --> 00:27:26,159 noguchi who flew on crew one and 516 00:27:31,750 --> 00:27:29,039 actually uh spending some time on iss 517 00:27:34,870 --> 00:27:31,760 right now i'll be the second japanese to 518 00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:34,880 fly on three vehicles um but 519 00:27:39,590 --> 00:27:37,760 that's for now and and for the future i 520 00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:39,600 think uh everyone's gonna be you know 521 00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:41,840 flying on different vehicles um 522 00:27:45,590 --> 00:27:43,840 you know either the commercial crew 523 00:27:48,389 --> 00:27:45,600 program vehicles or 524 00:27:50,710 --> 00:27:48,399 uh maybe going to moon and mars so i 525 00:27:53,669 --> 00:27:50,720 think it's uh it's a 526 00:27:57,510 --> 00:27:53,679 an honor for now but i hope everyone 527 00:27:59,990 --> 00:27:57,520 else will get a chance to do that too 528 00:28:02,389 --> 00:28:00,000 very exciting times thank you 529 00:28:05,669 --> 00:28:02,399 let's go to ulrike ebner with slug 530 00:28:11,350 --> 00:28:08,950 hi um the question is to all of you 531 00:28:13,750 --> 00:28:11,360 could you give us a brief overview on 532 00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:13,760 the vehicle training for example how 533 00:28:17,669 --> 00:28:15,600 long does it take to be familiar with 534 00:28:21,190 --> 00:28:17,679 the crew dragon and where does the 535 00:28:25,590 --> 00:28:23,590 hey thanks for your question um i'll try 536 00:28:27,350 --> 00:28:25,600 to start that megan and to monarchy can 537 00:28:29,110 --> 00:28:27,360 jump in if they need to 538 00:28:30,310 --> 00:28:29,120 most of our training for the spacex 539 00:28:32,389 --> 00:28:30,320 vehicle i think that's what you're 540 00:28:34,070 --> 00:28:32,399 talking about mainly is done in 541 00:28:36,070 --> 00:28:34,080 hawthorne california 542 00:28:37,590 --> 00:28:36,080 we do have we do have some weeks here in 543 00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:37,600 houston where we train because they have 544 00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:39,520 a simulator here as well 545 00:28:42,549 --> 00:28:40,720 i mean the way the training kind of 546 00:28:43,909 --> 00:28:42,559 lines up the first maybe month or two 547 00:28:46,230 --> 00:28:43,919 that you're in the training flow you're 548 00:28:48,630 --> 00:28:46,240 doing a lot of academic classes learning 549 00:28:50,070 --> 00:28:48,640 all their systems and then you progress 550 00:28:52,389 --> 00:28:50,080 into the simulator where you're just 551 00:28:54,149 --> 00:28:52,399 doing kind of standalone simulations 552 00:28:56,310 --> 00:28:54,159 which is you and your crewmates or maybe 553 00:28:57,430 --> 00:28:56,320 just in our case megan and i as pilot 554 00:28:59,110 --> 00:28:57,440 and commander 555 00:29:00,789 --> 00:28:59,120 and then eventually you'll get into the 556 00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:00,799 simulation campaign with the mission 557 00:29:04,630 --> 00:29:03,200 control teams from spacex and nasa and 558 00:29:06,549 --> 00:29:04,640 that's where we're kind of in that phase 559 00:29:08,149 --> 00:29:06,559 right now and kind of ramping that up 560 00:29:13,269 --> 00:29:08,159 with only a couple more weeks of that to 561 00:29:19,909 --> 00:29:15,350 okay let's take a question from marcia 562 00:29:23,350 --> 00:29:21,430 uh thanks so much 563 00:29:25,269 --> 00:29:23,360 i'm not quite sure who can best address 564 00:29:27,110 --> 00:29:25,279 this but my question basically has to do 565 00:29:27,990 --> 00:29:27,120 with how busy the space station has 566 00:29:29,590 --> 00:29:28,000 gotten 567 00:29:32,070 --> 00:29:29,600 there are so many vehicles coming and 568 00:29:34,470 --> 00:29:32,080 going and spacewalks and all of this 569 00:29:36,870 --> 00:29:34,480 and the advantage that you hear about by 570 00:29:39,510 --> 00:29:36,880 having so many of you crew aboard is 571 00:29:42,389 --> 00:29:39,520 that now you can do more science but i'm 572 00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:42,399 wondering how disruptive it is to have 573 00:29:46,389 --> 00:29:44,960 all of this activity going on because 574 00:29:48,630 --> 00:29:46,399 certainly when you're having dockings 575 00:29:50,070 --> 00:29:48,640 and departures and things that must 576 00:29:51,669 --> 00:29:50,080 interfere with the scientific 577 00:29:53,190 --> 00:29:51,679 experiments so 578 00:29:55,110 --> 00:29:53,200 could one of you who spent a lot of time 579 00:29:57,830 --> 00:29:55,120 on space station already sort of talk 580 00:29:59,750 --> 00:29:57,840 about how you weave in the scientific 581 00:30:02,710 --> 00:29:59,760 experiments amongst all this other 582 00:30:05,590 --> 00:30:02,720 activity that goes on on space station 583 00:30:07,590 --> 00:30:05,600 i can i can try that if you guys want um 584 00:30:09,190 --> 00:30:07,600 i think that's there's a part that is 585 00:30:11,350 --> 00:30:09,200 incompressible of the work we do on 586 00:30:13,029 --> 00:30:11,360 space station is just to to be able to 587 00:30:14,950 --> 00:30:13,039 live and work on the space station which 588 00:30:17,350 --> 00:30:14,960 is you know sleep eat 589 00:30:19,269 --> 00:30:17,360 exercise take care of your health and 590 00:30:20,630 --> 00:30:19,279 also manage the logistics so this you'll 591 00:30:22,549 --> 00:30:20,640 always have to do and you have to do it 592 00:30:25,029 --> 00:30:22,559 on the ground as well except you don't 593 00:30:27,269 --> 00:30:25,039 really notice it but so that that part 594 00:30:28,950 --> 00:30:27,279 takes i would say it's just my guess 595 00:30:30,950 --> 00:30:28,960 it's not official numbers but i would 596 00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:30,960 say take three people 597 00:30:34,149 --> 00:30:32,320 full time 598 00:30:36,710 --> 00:30:34,159 you're accrue six you're pretty much 599 00:30:38,950 --> 00:30:36,720 doing 50 of your time which is like the 600 00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:38,960 hard science which doesn't sound much 601 00:30:42,870 --> 00:30:40,320 but it's actually huge and if you're 602 00:30:45,750 --> 00:30:42,880 going to a base in antarctica it's less 603 00:30:48,149 --> 00:30:45,760 um but so we're in that sweet spot so if 604 00:30:50,389 --> 00:30:48,159 you if you start adding crew members 605 00:30:52,230 --> 00:30:50,399 then initially you get more return and 606 00:30:53,990 --> 00:30:52,240 then there must be a sweet spot 607 00:30:55,350 --> 00:30:54,000 somewhere where the curves intersect 608 00:30:57,269 --> 00:30:55,360 right we don't know where it is right 609 00:30:59,430 --> 00:30:57,279 now because we've never been more than 610 00:31:01,110 --> 00:30:59,440 three or four on the u.s west side but 611 00:31:04,070 --> 00:31:01,120 we're looking forward to figuring that 612 00:31:06,549 --> 00:31:04,080 out and we'll see um do we do we need 613 00:31:08,789 --> 00:31:06,559 seven eight do we need just six is it 614 00:31:10,549 --> 00:31:08,799 five i don't know but what i know is 615 00:31:11,909 --> 00:31:10,559 that people are looking at it very 616 00:31:13,990 --> 00:31:11,919 closely and there's very competent 617 00:31:16,149 --> 00:31:14,000 people on the ground that track every 618 00:31:18,070 --> 00:31:16,159 minute of our work on space station they 619 00:31:20,950 --> 00:31:18,080 try they track everything we do the 620 00:31:22,470 --> 00:31:20,960 output uh the work uh and in the 621 00:31:24,149 --> 00:31:22,480 different categories was it logistics 622 00:31:25,669 --> 00:31:24,159 was it science was it et cetera and they 623 00:31:27,350 --> 00:31:25,679 put together the statistics and then 624 00:31:29,590 --> 00:31:27,360 they made the decision because it's fed 625 00:31:31,110 --> 00:31:29,600 back into the system um so there's a 626 00:31:36,710 --> 00:31:31,120 sweet spot somewhere i don't know where 627 00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:38,389 all right great 628 00:31:44,470 --> 00:31:40,880 next question

00:33:21,440 debrief with crew one a little bit right 663 00:33:24,389 --> 00:33:23,120 after they got on orbit so it was really 664 00:33:25,909 --> 00:33:24,399 fresh in their mind after the launch 665 00:33:26,950 --> 00:33:25,919 experience and that was very helpful to 666 00:33:29,430 --> 00:33:26,960 us 667 00:33:30,950 --> 00:33:29,440 they're a lot of great advice on 668 00:33:33,029 -->

uphill um from 674 00:33:45,750 --> 00:33:43,039 bob and doug and from crew one um was 675 00:33:47,110 --> 00:33:45,760 really great um you know it's there's 676 00:33:49,190 --> 00:33:47,120 parts

00:33:53,039 in some ways to the other vehicles that 680 00:33:56,789 --> 00:33:55,279 we've launched on uh but i'm sure it's 681 00:33:58,230 --> 00:33:56,799 gonna be a bit different um with a 682 00:34:00,310 --> 00:33:58,240 couple stages of them here and i'm 683 00:34:03,029 --> 00:34:00,320 looking forward to 684 00:34:04,470 --> 00:34:03,039 feeling this the second stage light 685 00:34:06,950 --> 00:34:04,480 and give us a little boost as we head up 686 00:34:08,629 --> 00:34:06,960 to orbit 687 00:34:10,230 --> 00:34:08,639 and i'll i'll chime in with some more 688 00:34:11,669 --> 00:34:10,240 specifics one of the specific things 689 00:34:13,349 --> 00:34:11,679 that bob and i have talked about you 690 00:34:15,190 --> 00:34:13,359 know you look at photographs

heidi where your items 694 00:34:23,909 --> 00:34:22,079 are packed away and so um making sure 695 00:34:26,470 --> 00:34:23,919 that that's done very carefully in a way 696 00:34:28,470 --> 00:34:26,480 that the crew can 697 00:34:29,990 --> 00:34:28,480 get to without unpacking everything is 698 00:34:32,629 --> 00:34:30,000 something that they i know have talked a 699 00:34:34,230 --> 00:34:32,639 lot about with the with the spacex team 700 00:34:36,470 --> 00:34:34,240 and the team has made a lot of 701 00:34:38,389 --> 00:34:36,480 improvements in ages and have been 702

know not something that's super 708 00:34:52,550 --> 00:34:50,879 exciting but it can be really really 709 00:34:56,470 --> 00:34:52,560 important especially for people living 710 00:35:01,109 -->

00:38:20,720 thanks for taking my call um human space 800 00:38:24,550 --> 00:38:22,800 exploration is growing remarkably fast 801 00:38:26,150 --> 00:38:24,560 and this international mission with the 802 00:38:28,310 --> 00:38:26,160 refurbished spacecraft is a great 803 00:38:29,510 --> 00:38:28,320 example of that uh this is for anyone 804 00:38:31,910 --> 00:38:29,520 how do you hope this

just our actions and the 811 00:38:53,910 --> 00:38:51,520 way we we're professional and the way we 812 00:38:55,829 --> 00:38:53,920 have a good time as well um that'll just 813 00:38:57,510 --> 00:38:55,839 translate into some kind of inspiration 814 00:38:59,589 --> 00:38:57,520 for somebody i don't know 815 00:39:01,190 --> 00:38:59,599 who's out there that's watching but as 816 00:39:02,950 --> 00:39:01,200 you mentioned it's an international crew 817 00:39:04,790 --> 00:39:02,960 so that in itself 818 00:39:07,030 --> 00:39:04,800 can just show the possibilities that are 819 00:39:08,470 --> 00:39:07,040 out there and uh 820 00:39:12,230 --> 00:39:08,480 i don't know if anybody else wants to 821 00:39:15,750 --> 00:39:13,430 i think it's great i think the fact that 822 00:39:17,829 --> 00:39:15,760 that megan is our pilot and she's 823 00:39:19,589 --> 00:39:17,839 awesome should inspire a lot of girls as 824 00:39:21,430 --> 00:39:19,599 well and we're trying to have we're 825 00:39:23,510 --> 00:39:21,440 trying to reach 50 826 00:39:24,870 --> 00:39:23,520 you know in in uh in the application 827 00:39:27,270 --> 00:39:24,880 selection for the astronaut selection 828 00:39:29,910 --> 00:39:27,280 this is difficult but i think the the 829 00:39:32,069 --> 00:39:29,920 fact that we have megan and uh is 830 00:39:33,910 --> 00:39:32,079 certainly helping the cause and i'm 831 00:39:37,190 --> 00:39:33,920 hoping next astronaut selection for 832 00:39:40,069 --> 00:39:37,200 eastside is going to be 50 male 50 women 833 00:39:44,470 --> 00:39:42,950 all right awesome um let's 834 00:39:46,390 --> 00:39:44,480 switch over to a couple of questions 835 00:39:48,069 --> 00:39:46,400 that have come in on social media a 836 00:39:50,470 --> 00:39:48,079 reminder to all the media you can still 837 00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:50,480 ask questions using star one or withdraw 838 00:39:55,190 --> 00:39:53,280 your question using star two and you can 839 00:39:57,270 --> 00:39:55,200 ask questions on social media using the 840 00:40:00,230 --> 00:39:57,280 hashtag asknasa 841 00:40:02,069 --> 00:40:00,240 so um for from deanna on facebook she 842 00:40:04,470 --> 00:40:02,079 wants to know how 843 00:40:07,030 --> 00:40:04,480 will your particular science discipline 844 00:40:11,190 --> 00:40:07,040 be used and and advanced during this 845 00:40:15,190 --> 00:40:13,109 that's a great question oh sorry go 846 00:40:18,470 --> 00:40:15,200 ahead shane is there a scientist among 847 00:40:21,589 --> 00:40:19,990 well what i was going to say is one of 848 00:40:23,670 --> 00:40:21,599 the things that's really wonderful about 849 00:40:25,750 --> 00:40:23,680 the job that we get to do is we all have 850 00:40:28,230 --> 00:40:25,760 training as scientists and engineers but 851 00:40:30,550 --> 00:40:28,240 the research that we do on orbit is not 852 00:40:32,150 --> 00:40:30,560 necessarily directly related to our 853 00:40:34,309 --> 00:40:32,160 individual discipline that we came 854 00:40:36,630 --> 00:40:34,319 through for example in graduate school 855 00:40:38,470 --> 00:40:36,640 so you know we get very general training 856 00:40:39,270 --> 00:40:38,480 and as a scientist and an engineer you 857 00:40:40,710 --> 00:40:39,280 get 858 00:40:43,430 --> 00:40:40,720 training across 859 00:40:46,470 --> 00:40:43,440 you know basic concepts physics biology 860 00:40:48,150 --> 00:40:46,480 chemistry mathematics mechanics and 861 00:40:49,910 --> 00:40:48,160 you're using all of this knowledge that 862 00:40:51,589 --> 00:40:49,920 you've gained throughout your education 863 00:40:53,430 --> 00:40:51,599 bringing that with you to nasa where you 864 00:40:55,589 --> 00:40:53,440 get some more specific training and how 865 00:40:57,510 --> 00:40:55,599 we conduct experiments but really you're 866 00:41:00,069 --> 00:40:57,520 relying on this generalized training 867 00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:00,079 that you've gotten and then the expert 868 00:41:04,630 --> 00:41:02,560 procedures that have been developed to 869 00:41:07,030 --> 00:41:04,640 to and and the well-designed experiments 870 00:41:08,390 --> 00:41:07,040 basically to enable success for the for 871 00:41:10,309 --> 00:41:08,400 the research that we're doing on space 872 00:41:11,910 --> 00:41:10,319 station um of course i haven't been to 873 00:41:13,750 --> 00:41:11,920 space station yet this was this will be 874 00:41:15,430 --> 00:41:13,760 my first long-duration mission i'm super 875 00:41:16,710 --> 00:41:15,440 excited about it and so probably one of 876 00:41:18,630 --> 00:41:16,720 these guys can tell you a little bit 877 00:41:23,589 --> 00:41:18,640 more about how their own background 878 00:41:27,750 --> 00:41:25,190 yeah so the part for me i came from an 879 00:41:29,589 --> 00:41:27,760 operational background and you know that 880 00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:29,599 definitely came in handy to alluded to 881 00:41:32,710 --> 00:41:31,040 it earlier but when we're running 882 00:41:34,550 --> 00:41:32,720 procedures and we're you know working 883 00:41:37,030 --> 00:41:34,560 with equipment uh that's very 884 00:41:38,710 --> 00:41:37,040 operationally oriented so for me that's 885 00:41:39,910 --> 00:41:38,720 that's one of my strong suits i think 886 00:41:42,150 --> 00:41:39,920 and it definitely played out on the 887 00:41:43,990 --> 00:41:42,160 space station 888 00:41:46,309 --> 00:41:44,000 it's a it's a it's a complete team 889 00:41:48,550 --> 00:41:46,319 effort i want to say we're just kind of 890 00:41:49,829 --> 00:41:48,560 the tip of the spear but the people 891 00:41:51,109 --> 00:41:49,839 running the experiments are on the 892 00:41:52,390 --> 00:41:51,119 ground and they're just telling us what 893 00:41:54,230 --> 00:41:52,400 to do they write the procedure they 894 00:41:55,910 --> 00:41:54,240 design the hardware so you could be 895 00:41:58,470 --> 00:41:55,920 doing some medical experiment i have 896 00:41:59,990 --> 00:41:58,480 zero background uh in medicine i mean we 897 00:42:01,430 --> 00:42:00,000 get some training here but obviously 898 00:42:04,870 --> 00:42:01,440 it's not enough to be 899 00:42:06,390 --> 00:42:04,880 an md or a phd obviously far from it but 900 00:42:07,990 --> 00:42:06,400 there'll be some very very smart people 901 00:42:09,589 --> 00:42:08,000 on the ground kind of directing us and 902 00:42:11,190 --> 00:42:09,599 telling us what to do we're being there 903 00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:11,200 to answer our question 904 00:42:14,470 --> 00:42:13,040 um and that's what makes the science 905 00:42:17,349 --> 00:42:14,480 efficient is that we we're doing our 906 00:42:19,270 --> 00:42:17,359 best but we have a lot of help 907 00:42:21,109 --> 00:42:19,280 that's great yeah we'll have thousands 908 00:42:23,030 --> 00:42:21,119 of researchers from across the world 909 00:42:24,790 --> 00:42:23,040 really that are the ones behind these 910 00:42:26,470 --> 00:42:24,800 experiments you'll be doing 911 00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:26,480 um let's take another question from 912 00:42:33,109 --> 00:42:28,800 facebook what will you miss most while 913 00:42:38,150 --> 00:42:35,430 no because it's only the space station 914 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,349 you guys 915 00:42:45,750 --> 00:42:43,510 okay i'll jump in um 916 00:42:47,910 --> 00:42:45,760 i think you know apart from food we have 917 00:42:50,710 --> 00:42:47,920 a lot of variety on the space station 918 00:42:53,270 --> 00:42:50,720 now in terms of food so um it's good 919 00:42:55,109 --> 00:42:53,280 that we have the varieties because 920 00:42:57,670 --> 00:42:55,119 sometimes you 921 00:42:59,990 --> 00:42:57,680 eat one thing and you wish you have 922 00:43:02,309 --> 00:43:00,000 something else now we have a lot of 923 00:43:04,550 --> 00:43:02,319 variety so that's good um 924 00:43:06,790 --> 00:43:04,560 what i'm on my last 925 00:43:09,750 --> 00:43:06,800 long duration mission what i missed most 926 00:43:13,990 --> 00:43:09,760 was like fresh food which nowadays you 927 00:43:16,150 --> 00:43:14,000 get uh every time we get a cargo ship uh 928 00:43:18,950 --> 00:43:16,160 docked to the space station so that's 929 00:43:21,829 --> 00:43:18,960 good um the other thing was nature um 930 00:43:23,990 --> 00:43:21,839 like just the wind blowing in your face 931 00:43:27,910 --> 00:43:24,000 or you know the smell of trees that's 932 00:43:30,950 --> 00:43:27,920 something that i noticed after i came 933 00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:30,960 back that i missed most 934 00:43:34,630 --> 00:43:32,880 i think there's also sometimes the 935 00:43:36,230 --> 00:43:34,640 freedom to be able to you know do what 936 00:43:39,109 --> 00:43:36,240 you want and 937 00:43:41,030 --> 00:43:39,119 people you want which obviously you 938 00:43:42,309 --> 00:43:41,040 cannot do on the space station 939 00:43:43,750 --> 00:43:42,319 but the funny thing is actually not 940 00:43:45,270 --> 00:43:43,760 funny at all but is that now i think 941 00:43:47,270 --> 00:43:45,280 people can relate to this a little bit 942 00:43:49,270 --> 00:43:47,280 with what happened in 2020 people have 943 00:43:51,349 --> 00:43:49,280 experienced what it is to be kind of 944 00:43:52,710 --> 00:43:51,359 locked in one place and deprived of the 945 00:43:54,950 --> 00:43:52,720 the freedom to 946 00:43:56,390 --> 00:43:54,960 you know travel or go see the people you 947 00:43:57,670 --> 00:43:56,400 want to see and 948 00:43:59,109 --> 00:43:57,680 and so 949 00:44:00,870 --> 00:43:59,119 that's going to happen to us for six 950 00:44:02,710 --> 00:44:00,880 months again 951 00:44:04,150 --> 00:44:02,720 so i guess this is also something that 952 00:44:06,630 --> 00:44:04,160 when you come back to art you're very 953 00:44:07,910 --> 00:44:06,640 happy to uh to get that freedom to do 954 00:44:09,750 --> 00:44:07,920 whatever you want and go wherever you 955 00:44:10,870 --> 00:44:09,760 want again 956 00:44:12,710 --> 00:44:10,880 and of course we're all going to miss 957 00:44:14,470 --> 00:44:12,720 our families that's that's a given i 958 00:44:15,430 --> 00:44:14,480 think that's the hard part for a lot of 959 00:44:16,790 --> 00:44:15,440 us 960 00:44:18,470 --> 00:44:16,800 but for me i'm going to miss a hot 961 00:44:20,069 --> 00:44:18,480 shower we don't have showers on 962 00:44:21,190 --> 00:44:20,079 playstation which surprises a lot of 963 00:44:22,870 --> 00:44:21,200 people but 964 00:44:25,430 --> 00:44:22,880 i will definitely miss that and adam 965 00:44:27,670 --> 00:44:25,440 walaki was saying just nature itself and 966 00:44:29,589 --> 00:44:27,680 you know weather and wind and 967 00:44:31,190 --> 00:44:29,599 smells of of earth 968 00:44:33,670 --> 00:44:31,200 will be greatly missed after a month or 969 00:44:34,870 --> 00:44:33,680 two have been up there 970 00:44:36,630 --> 00:44:34,880 all right for me 971 00:44:38,390 --> 00:44:36,640 to all of those things i think one of 972 00:44:40,390 --> 00:44:38,400 the things that i'll miss is the act of 973 00:44:42,870 --> 00:44:40,400 preparing a meal from scratch so 974 00:44:44,390 --> 00:44:42,880 preparing food and and getting to to 975 00:44:46,710 --> 00:44:44,400 share that we'll of course have some 976 00:44:48,309 --> 00:44:46,720 meal times together but you know i think 977 00:44:50,230 --> 00:44:48,319 it will be different cutting open a 978 00:44:51,589 --> 00:44:50,240 pre-prepared meal versus being able to 979 00:44:53,589 --> 00:44:51,599 create that yourself in your kitchen 980 00:44:55,510 --> 00:44:53,599 that's something that i'll miss 981 00:44:58,950 --> 00:44:55,520 it's my type of cooking opening up a 982 00:45:02,309 --> 00:45:00,309 we'll be excited to see what you can 983 00:45:04,390 --> 00:45:02,319 come up with up there 984 00:45:06,230 --> 00:45:04,400 all right from jacqueline irving on 985 00:45:08,069 --> 00:45:06,240 twitter what is the biggest difference 986 00:45:12,630 --> 00:45:08,079 between dragon training and shuttle 987 00:45:16,470 --> 00:45:15,270 um i'll start with that um 988 00:45:18,069 --> 00:45:16,480 so there's a you know is there some 989 00:45:20,150 --> 00:45:18,079 similarities and that the training for 990 00:45:21,829 --> 00:45:20,160 us will be about a year a little less 991 00:45:23,430 --> 00:45:21,839 than a year for some of us but the 992 00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:23,440 shuttle training is about a year to a 993 00:45:27,589 --> 00:45:25,440 year and a half so that's similar 994 00:45:29,109 --> 00:45:27,599 um the difference and one big one is 995 00:45:30,550 --> 00:45:29,119 that you go to california for most of 996 00:45:33,030 --> 00:45:30,560 your training and instead of staying in 997 00:45:35,190 --> 00:45:33,040 houston and we went to florida a lot 998 00:45:37,270 --> 00:45:35,200 more in the shuttle train than we do now 999 00:45:39,030 --> 00:45:37,280 for crew dragons so there's there's some 1000 00:45:40,710 --> 00:45:39,040 differences there you know they're both 1001 00:45:42,390 --> 00:45:40,720 space vehicles there's systems that you 1002 00:45:44,550 --> 00:45:42,400 have to learn there's very certain a lot 1003 00:45:46,390 --> 00:45:44,560 very similar kind of academic training 1004 00:45:47,510 --> 00:45:46,400 and simulator training that we're going 1005 00:45:49,109 --> 00:45:47,520 through so 1006 00:45:50,630 --> 00:45:49,119 um those are probably the biggest ones 1007 00:45:51,750 --> 00:45:50,640 obviously it's a different rocket that 1008 00:45:53,349 --> 00:45:51,760 we're launching on it's a different 1009 00:45:55,349 --> 00:45:53,359 spacecraft 1010 00:45:57,670 --> 00:45:55,359 but you know the flow in general um 1011 00:46:00,150 --> 00:45:57,680 about a year long and a lot of the same 1012 00:46:01,270 --> 00:46:00,160 kind of i guess the template is is 1013 00:46:04,069 --> 00:46:01,280 pretty similar where you're going to be 1014 00:46:05,990 --> 00:46:04,079 academics and then simulators and then 1015 00:46:07,270 --> 00:46:06,000 kind of go to the launch pad so looking 1016 00:46:08,470 --> 00:46:07,280 forward to hopefully being somewhat 1017 00:46:10,390 --> 00:46:08,480 similar another ride will be a little 1018 00:46:13,109 --> 00:46:10,400 bit different uh we hope that helps 1019 00:46:14,390 --> 00:46:13,119 answer your question 1020 00:46:16,790 --> 00:46:14,400 yep thanks 1021 00:46:18,470 --> 00:46:16,800 um let's take a question from rebecca on 1022 00:46:29,750 --> 00:46:18,480 facebook what are you most looking 1023 00:46:32,309 --> 00:46:31,109 so i think the thing that one of the 1024 00:46:33,430 --> 00:46:32,319 things you know we're looking forward to 1025 00:46:35,270 --> 00:46:33,440 at this point obviously is getting 1026 00:46:37,190 --> 00:46:35,280 started we've been like i said really 1027 00:46:39,750 --> 00:46:37,200 intensively training for about a year 1028 00:46:41,109 --> 00:46:39,760 together and and individually and you 1029 00:46:42,950 --> 00:46:41,119 know really looking forward to that 1030 00:46:44,790 --> 00:46:42,960 moment where the mission actually begins 1031 00:46:46,710 --> 00:46:44,800 and and we get to try out all of the 1032 00:46:48,790 --> 00:46:46,720 things that we've been been preparing 1033 00:46:50,550 --> 00:46:48,800 for for the last year 1034 00:46:52,470 --> 00:46:50,560 i agree 1035 00:46:54,630 --> 00:46:52,480 all right thank you 1036 00:46:56,470 --> 00:46:54,640 um from jacqueline on twitter what part 1037 00:46:58,710 --> 00:46:56,480 of your mission are you relieved is 1038 00:47:03,109 --> 00:46:58,720 automated and which parts do you wish 1039 00:47:07,430 --> 00:47:05,109 wow i mean spacecraft is it's a 1040 00:47:09,829 --> 00:47:07,440 futuristic spacecraft and it pretty much 1041 00:47:12,150 --> 00:47:09,839 can do it all like even soyuz and 1042 00:47:13,750 --> 00:47:12,160 shuttle were automated and you only 1043 00:47:15,349 --> 00:47:13,760 interacted with it 1044 00:47:17,190 --> 00:47:15,359 if something went wrong in general and 1045 00:47:19,030 --> 00:47:17,200 flew the thing manually so this is no 1046 00:47:20,870 --> 00:47:19,040 different than that it's the technology 1047 00:47:22,390 --> 00:47:20,880 is much different of course 1048 00:47:23,990 --> 00:47:22,400 i mean we're doing touch screens instead 1049 00:47:25,829 --> 00:47:24,000 of like a joystick in your hand to fly 1050 00:47:28,390 --> 00:47:25,839 the thing so that's pretty exciting 1051 00:47:30,710 --> 00:47:28,400 and uh but we're making an ir train to 1052 00:47:33,030 --> 00:47:30,720 take over manually um during any phase 1053 00:47:34,470 --> 00:47:33,040 of the flight if need be but hopefully 1054 00:47:36,870 --> 00:47:34,480 we'll just be along for the ride and get 1055 00:47:38,790 --> 00:47:36,880 to enjoy 1056 00:47:40,710 --> 00:47:38,800 there's one part that that i wish was 1057 00:47:42,630 --> 00:47:40,720 automated is on space station just to 1058 00:47:45,109 --> 00:47:42,640 find the items that you need to find to 1059 00:47:47,190 --> 00:47:45,119 do your work because there's so much 1060 00:47:49,190 --> 00:47:47,200 things up there because it's lots of 1061 00:47:51,589 --> 00:47:49,200 different experiments lots of equipment 1062 00:47:53,190 --> 00:47:51,599 station x grown big over the years lots 1063 00:47:55,030 --> 00:47:53,200 of modules 1064 00:47:55,990 --> 00:47:55,040 and so it takes some time to to find the 1065 00:47:57,430 --> 00:47:56,000 things you're looking for there are 1066 00:47:59,990 --> 00:47:57,440 thousands of items that are being 1067 00:48:01,750 --> 00:48:00,000 tracked from the ground track from you 1068 00:48:03,670 --> 00:48:01,760 know database onboard the space station 1069 00:48:05,990 --> 00:48:03,680 so if you could just press a button and 1070 00:48:07,670 --> 00:48:06,000 everything is going to show up to you 1071 00:48:09,270 --> 00:48:07,680 and you could do your work that would 1072 00:48:12,470 --> 00:48:09,280 that would be brilliant but i don't 1073 00:48:16,870 --> 00:48:14,710 all right we'll add it to the wish list 1074 00:48:20,790 --> 00:48:16,880 we'll take another question from ulrike 1075 00:48:24,950 --> 00:48:20,800 ebner with slug review 1076 00:48:26,950 --> 00:48:24,960 hi um this is a question for truma 1077 00:48:30,549 --> 00:48:26,960 as it is your second flight are there 1078 00:48:32,630 --> 00:48:30,559 any things you intend to do differently 1079 00:48:35,349 --> 00:48:32,640 from the first one 1080 00:48:38,069 --> 00:48:35,359 for example looking out of the window 1081 00:48:40,309 --> 00:48:38,079 more often or enjoying the sound of the 1082 00:48:43,030 --> 00:48:40,319 lounge i don't know if there's anything 1083 00:48:45,030 --> 00:48:43,040 you wish to do differently 1084 00:48:47,430 --> 00:48:45,040 yes 1085 00:48:49,430 --> 00:48:47,440 i wish to do any everything better than 1086 00:48:50,630 --> 00:48:49,440 the first time first of all hopefully 1087 00:48:52,470 --> 00:48:50,640 because with a little bit more 1088 00:48:54,630 --> 00:48:52,480 experience more training and any 1089 00:48:55,990 --> 00:48:54,640 experience of the first flight hopefully 1090 00:48:57,349 --> 00:48:56,000 less mistakes everything should be 1091 00:48:58,549 --> 00:48:57,359 better i hope 1092 00:49:00,230 --> 00:48:58,559 um 1093 00:49:02,390 --> 00:49:00,240 but then yeah the my first flight was 1094 00:49:04,230 --> 00:49:02,400 really i was so excited i was so i had 1095 00:49:06,230 --> 00:49:04,240 prepared i had waited for a long time i 1096 00:49:08,390 --> 00:49:06,240 had a lot of things that i wanted to do 1097 00:49:10,630 --> 00:49:08,400 a lot of projects 1098 00:49:13,349 --> 00:49:10,640 and i was always constantly constantly 1099 00:49:14,870 --> 00:49:13,359 busy busy with with things to do with 1100 00:49:16,790 --> 00:49:14,880 you know 1101 00:49:17,910 --> 00:49:16,800 small videos that i wanted to make uh 1102 00:49:20,230 --> 00:49:17,920 pictures 1103 00:49:21,510 --> 00:49:20,240 a journal calling friends i was i was 1104 00:49:23,270 --> 00:49:21,520 going to make sure i'm going to call all 1105 00:49:24,790 --> 00:49:23,280 my friends because i you never know 1106 00:49:26,630 --> 00:49:24,800 maybe it was going to be my only flight 1107 00:49:27,990 --> 00:49:26,640 so every single minute of every single 1108 00:49:29,270 --> 00:49:28,000 day i had something to do i had 1109 00:49:31,670 --> 00:49:29,280 something in the back of my mind 1110 00:49:33,349 --> 00:49:31,680 constantly constantly constantly 1111 00:49:36,069 --> 00:49:33,359 you know sunday's evening doesn't matter 1112 00:49:38,150 --> 00:49:36,079 that that just never stops um 1113 00:49:39,670 --> 00:49:38,160 so now for the second flight i think i 1114 00:49:41,270 --> 00:49:39,680 think i don't want this to happen 1115 00:49:43,030 --> 00:49:41,280 because it kind of prevented me from 1116 00:49:44,309 --> 00:49:43,040 enjoying it a little bit 1117 00:49:46,069 --> 00:49:44,319 so i think i'm going to take some time 1118 00:49:47,910 --> 00:49:46,079 just for myself with nothing to do which 1119 00:49:50,230 --> 00:49:47,920 i know is unbelievable but just 15 1120 00:49:53,190 --> 00:49:50,240 minutes for yourself with nothing to do 1121 00:49:55,190 --> 00:49:53,200 just drink a coffee look out the window 1122 00:49:56,470 --> 00:49:55,200 and just just soak it in don't take a 1123 00:49:57,510 --> 00:49:56,480 picture because if you take a picture 1124 00:49:59,829 --> 00:49:57,520 you have a picture but you don't have a 1125 00:50:01,990 --> 00:49:59,839 memory so instead of taking a picture 1126 00:50:03,910 --> 00:50:02,000 make yourself a memory drink the coffee 1127 00:50:05,750 --> 00:50:03,920 spend time with the people 1128 00:50:08,390 --> 00:50:05,760 and that's what i'm going to try to do 1129 00:50:10,950 --> 00:50:08,400 for that second flight 1130 00:50:15,589 --> 00:50:10,960 all right thank you let's go to randy 1131 00:50:17,990 --> 00:50:15,599 seagal with wstu radio 1132 00:50:20,390 --> 00:50:18,000 good afternoon quick question for you 1133 00:50:22,549 --> 00:50:20,400 guys the south n9 apparently has been 1134 00:50:25,750 --> 00:50:22,559 having some problems lately 1135 00:50:27,510 --> 00:50:25,760 does that cause you any thanks and also 1136 00:50:29,349 --> 00:50:27,520 as a second question is there any 1137 00:50:34,870 --> 00:50:29,359 surprises megan 1138 00:50:38,549 --> 00:50:36,470 well i can answer the second question i 1139 00:50:40,150 --> 00:50:38,559 don't know um or i guess it wouldn't be 1140 00:50:42,710 --> 00:50:40,160 a surprise so i'll find out when i get 1141 00:50:44,069 --> 00:50:42,720 there i think 1142 00:50:45,670 --> 00:50:44,079 and your first question about the 1143 00:50:47,190 --> 00:50:45,680 falkline 1144 00:50:49,030 --> 00:50:47,200 yeah there have been a few issues i know 1145 00:50:50,790 --> 00:50:49,040 the teams are working very hard to work 1146 00:50:53,190 --> 00:50:50,800 through those we've been briefed about 1147 00:50:55,589 --> 00:50:53,200 every month on the updates of the of our 1148 00:50:57,109 --> 00:50:55,599 spacecraft as well as the rocket so 1149 00:50:59,670 --> 00:50:57,119 we're very confident that they're going 1150 00:51:01,349 --> 00:50:59,680 to figure out whatever's going wrong and 1151 00:51:02,790 --> 00:51:01,359 it's just been a few little things on a 1152 00:51:04,630 --> 00:51:02,800 few of these rockets they're launching 1153 00:51:05,910 --> 00:51:04,640 almost once a week so when you're 1154 00:51:07,190 --> 00:51:05,920 launching that often you're going to 1155 00:51:09,750 --> 00:51:07,200 everything's not going to go perfectly 1156 00:51:11,910 --> 00:51:09,760 so there's nothing major or catastrophic 1157 00:51:13,109 --> 00:51:11,920 that's happening it's just a few things 1158 00:51:16,309 --> 00:51:13,119 on the rocket that i know they're going 1159 00:51:18,230 --> 00:51:16,319 to get worked out before our flight 1160 00:51:20,829 --> 00:51:18,240 what about sleeping quarters when you 1161 00:51:23,510 --> 00:51:20,839 first get up to the 1162 00:51:25,510 --> 00:51:23,520 station that is the magic question i 1163 00:51:29,190 --> 00:51:25,520 think sleeping quarters so it's going to 1164 00:51:31,030 --> 00:51:29,200 be crazy with um if we do erect handover 1165 00:51:32,549 --> 00:51:31,040 which means crew one and and ourselves 1166 00:51:34,150 --> 00:51:32,559 will be up there along with the soyuz 1167 00:51:36,470 --> 00:51:34,160 crew so that's a lot of people on the 1168 00:51:38,549 --> 00:51:36,480 space station right now there's only six 1169 00:51:40,470 --> 00:51:38,559 sleep stations on board the entire space 1170 00:51:42,309 --> 00:51:40,480 station two on the russian side and four 1171 00:51:43,910 --> 00:51:42,319 on the u.s side 1172 00:51:45,829 --> 00:51:43,920 we hope to have one more installed 1173 00:51:47,910 --> 00:51:45,839 before we get there which would give us 1174 00:51:49,750 --> 00:51:47,920 a little bit of flexibility 1175 00:51:51,430 --> 00:51:49,760 but really for the handover time if we 1176 00:51:53,589 --> 00:51:51,440 hand over say about a week or so with 1177 00:51:55,430 --> 00:51:53,599 crew one uh we're going to be kind of i 1178 00:51:56,630 --> 00:51:55,440 think in a camp out mode or one of one 1179 00:51:58,630 --> 00:51:56,640 of the crews will be in the camp out 1180 00:52:01,270 --> 00:51:58,640 mode where we find a place to you know 1181 00:52:03,030 --> 00:52:01,280 to sleep on a wall somewhere or ceiling 1182 00:52:04,790 --> 00:52:03,040 it doesn't matter up there and then the 1183 00:52:06,790 --> 00:52:04,800 other crew will be in the sleep station 1184 00:52:08,309 --> 00:52:06,800 so we haven't worked out which crew is 1185 00:52:09,670 --> 00:52:08,319 going to do what yet but uh we're 1186 00:52:11,829 --> 00:52:09,680 looking forward to it again it's just 1187 00:52:13,829 --> 00:52:11,839 going to be a short you know time a week 1188 00:52:16,230 --> 00:52:13,839 or less that uh we'll be potentially 1189 00:52:18,549 --> 00:52:16,240 handing over with them and uh sleeping 1190 00:52:19,990 --> 00:52:18,559 will be although it's important it's a 1191 00:52:21,750 --> 00:52:20,000 pretty short time so i think we can all 1192 00:52:24,549 --> 00:52:21,760 handle a camping out trip for about a 1193 00:52:27,670 --> 00:52:26,549 definitely okay let's take a question 1194 00:52:31,270 --> 00:52:27,680 from martin 1195 00:52:35,829 --> 00:52:33,589 i would like to follow with the comment 1196 00:52:36,950 --> 00:52:35,839 of my basket about so many things on a 1197 00:52:41,589 --> 00:52:36,960 station 1198 00:52:44,470 --> 00:52:43,589 how do you not bump into something you 1199 00:52:46,470 --> 00:52:44,480 well 1200 00:52:48,950 --> 00:52:46,480 don't tell nasa or research but we 1201 00:52:50,309 --> 00:52:48,960 sometimes come in two things um 1202 00:52:51,670 --> 00:52:50,319 especially at the beginning we're trying 1203 00:52:53,829 --> 00:52:51,680 to be very careful but like you said 1204 00:52:55,510 --> 00:52:53,839 there's cables there's there's equipment 1205 00:52:57,349 --> 00:52:55,520 uh the equipment is designed so that 1206 00:52:59,750 --> 00:52:57,359 it's not you know so fragile that you 1207 00:53:02,230 --> 00:52:59,760 cannot even touch it or if it is then 1208 00:53:04,069 --> 00:53:02,240 it's put behind a rack uh behind a wall 1209 00:53:05,829 --> 00:53:04,079 it's protected because everything is is 1210 00:53:07,829 --> 00:53:05,839 designed and engineered for a space 1211 00:53:09,990 --> 00:53:07,839 flight but i think you you get used to 1212 00:53:11,990 --> 00:53:10,000 it initially the first few days or 1213 00:53:14,069 --> 00:53:12,000 depends on the on the astronauts can 1214 00:53:16,390 --> 00:53:14,079 take longer can be shorter but you have 1215 00:53:19,270 --> 00:53:16,400 to figure out a new way to move your 1216 00:53:21,510 --> 00:53:19,280 brains to rewire you know it's different 1217 00:53:23,589 --> 00:53:21,520 sensors and and provide you with a with 1218 00:53:25,109 --> 00:53:23,599 a good um a good understanding of your 1219 00:53:26,549 --> 00:53:25,119 environment so sometimes you bomb 1220 00:53:28,069 --> 00:53:26,559 sometimes you go too fast you want to 1221 00:53:29,510 --> 00:53:28,079 take a turn you miss the turn and if you 1222 00:53:31,510 --> 00:53:29,520 miss the turn on space station you go 1223 00:53:33,589 --> 00:53:31,520 straight and whatever is in front of you 1224 00:53:36,549 --> 00:53:33,599 you're going to bump into it so we're 1225 00:53:38,790 --> 00:53:36,559 going to try to minimize those events 1226 00:53:39,910 --> 00:53:38,800 but knowing that that that it might 1227 00:53:43,510 --> 00:53:39,920 happen 1228 00:53:45,589 --> 00:53:43,520 big deal but you just have to be very 1229 00:53:47,750 --> 00:53:45,599 careful very cautious very methodical at 1230 00:53:50,390 --> 00:53:47,760 the beginning and then not get too over 1231 00:53:55,030 --> 00:53:50,400 confident as as you learn how to fly 1232 00:53:59,910 --> 00:53:57,910 okay a question from lucy auberg with 1233 00:54:02,950 --> 00:53:59,920 asp 1234 00:54:04,950 --> 00:54:02,960 hi thanks for taking my question and i'm 1235 00:54:08,230 --> 00:54:04,960 sure you probably all 1236 00:54:09,510 --> 00:54:08,240 watched perseverance landing on mars 1237 00:54:11,589 --> 00:54:09,520 last month 1238 00:54:14,069 --> 00:54:11,599 and i know you're very much concentrated 1239 00:54:17,030 --> 00:54:14,079 on your current mission but are you all 1240 00:54:19,670 --> 00:54:17,040 dreaming about going to the to the moon 1241 00:54:22,390 --> 00:54:19,680 and then um to mars especially now that 1242 00:54:23,750 --> 00:54:22,400 you'll be flying with spacex the company 1243 00:54:25,910 --> 00:54:23,760 created with 1244 00:54:28,549 --> 00:54:25,920 the goal of going to mars does it seem 1245 00:54:36,870 --> 00:54:28,559 more and more tangible and are you all 1246 00:54:42,630 --> 00:54:39,829 although i just pointed at myself no no 1247 00:54:46,950 --> 00:54:44,870 shane you want to start with that 1248 00:54:49,270 --> 00:54:46,960 i had the chance to watch the landing 1249 00:54:50,870 --> 00:54:49,280 together actually out at spacex 1250 00:54:53,430 --> 00:54:50,880 that was pretty neat obviously a 1251 00:54:54,870 --> 00:54:53,440 historic moment and we were very excited 1252 00:54:57,109 --> 00:54:54,880 for all the teams involved especially 1253 00:54:59,589 --> 00:54:57,119 the folks at jpl that worked so hard on 1254 00:55:01,829 --> 00:54:59,599 on landing perseverance on mars that was 1255 00:55:03,109 --> 00:55:01,839 really special 1256 00:55:04,950 --> 00:55:03,119 i know i'm not going to be going to the 1257 00:55:06,150 --> 00:55:04,960 moon in mars but my colleagues here much 1258 00:55:07,829 --> 00:55:06,160 younger than me might have that 1259 00:55:09,910 --> 00:55:07,839 opportunity so even though i would love 1260 00:55:13,670 --> 00:55:09,920 to do that i think my flying days will 1261 00:55:16,870 --> 00:55:15,270 for ikea myself who've just been 1262 00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:16,880 assigned to if not i'm going to stop 1263 00:55:20,150 --> 00:55:18,160 saying this because i better get in 1264 00:55:21,829 --> 00:55:20,160 trouble with issa but i think what's 1265 00:55:24,230 --> 00:55:21,839 important is we if you're watching 1266 00:55:25,750 --> 00:55:24,240 robotic exploration is to understand 1267 00:55:27,430 --> 00:55:25,760 that those are just two branches of the 1268 00:55:29,109 --> 00:55:27,440 the exact same thing we're trying to 1269 00:55:30,950 --> 00:55:29,119 explore we're trying to get further into 1270 00:55:32,789 --> 00:55:30,960 the cosmos uh those are not two 1271 00:55:34,309 --> 00:55:32,799 competing activities and people like to 1272 00:55:35,829 --> 00:55:34,319 see it that way sometimes which bothers 1273 00:55:37,910 --> 00:55:35,839 me because when you talk to the 1274 00:55:38,870 --> 00:55:37,920 scientists you know being 1275 00:55:40,710 --> 00:55:38,880 behind 1276 00:55:42,789 --> 00:55:40,720 the rovers and all the interplanetary 1277 00:55:44,870 --> 00:55:42,799 missions they say we can't we can't wait 1278 00:55:46,630 --> 00:55:44,880 for the human for humans to be on the 1279 00:55:48,710 --> 00:55:46,640 surface because the return scientific 1280 00:55:50,549 --> 00:55:48,720 return is going to be so much it's going 1281 00:55:52,150 --> 00:55:50,559 to be 100 volts or maybe a thousand 1282 00:55:53,349 --> 00:55:52,160 folds but obviously it's more 1283 00:55:54,789 --> 00:55:53,359 complicated obviously it's more 1284 00:55:56,870 --> 00:55:54,799 dangerous and that's why we need those 1285 00:55:58,950 --> 00:55:56,880 precursor missions that's what we need 1286 00:56:01,190 --> 00:55:58,960 all the tasks that can be carried out by 1287 00:56:03,670 --> 00:56:01,200 by robots and rovers for sure please 1288 00:56:06,069 --> 00:56:03,680 absolutely they have to do it uh they 1289 00:56:08,069 --> 00:56:06,079 need to have budget as well and it's 1290 00:56:09,670 --> 00:56:08,079 those are not two competing activities 1291 00:56:11,430 --> 00:56:09,680 so those are two brushes of the same 1292 00:56:12,789 --> 00:56:11,440 activity and i think we work as a team 1293 00:56:15,829 --> 00:56:12,799 and there'll be scenarios in the future 1294 00:56:17,829 --> 00:56:15,839 when we work even more closely together 1295 00:56:19,270 --> 00:56:17,839 thank you well we're so excited to see 1296 00:56:21,670 --> 00:56:19,280 you up on the international space 1297 00:56:23,990 --> 00:56:21,680 station doing research that will help us 1298 00:56:26,309 --> 00:56:24,000 get people to the moon and mars and then 1299 00:56:28,630 --> 00:56:26,319 to see you or maybe your colleagues on 1300 00:56:30,390 --> 00:56:28,640 the moon and then eventually on mars and 1301 00:56:32,150 --> 00:56:30,400 i think that's a good place to wrap up 1302 00:56:34,230 --> 00:56:32,160 so thank you everyone for joining us 1303 00:56:36,150 --> 00:56:34,240 today thank you to the crew for 1304 00:56:38,390 --> 00:56:36,160 answering questions 1305 00:56:42,309 --> 00:56:38,400 and be sure to watch this crew launch 1306 00:56:44,630 --> 00:56:42,319 live online at nasa.gov on nasa tv or by 1307 00:56:46,950 --> 00:56:44,640 following nasa on social media you can 1308 00:56:48,549 --> 00:56:46,960 also follow all four of these people on 1309 00:56:50,710 --> 00:56:48,559 twitter and keep up with them throughout 1310 00:56:52,789 --> 00:56:50,720 the mission and be sure to check those 1311 00:56:54,630 --> 00:56:52,799 sites for updates and follow along on 1312 00:57:11,430 --> 00:56:54,640 their whole mission thank you everyone
