jet awesome welcome to the kennedy space

18
00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:24,399
room how great is it to have the crew 2

19
00:12:30,470 --> 00:12:28,240
crew here for the third launch of humans

20
00:12:32,069 --> 00:12:30,480
to space in less than a year

21
00:12:34,310 --> 00:12:32,079
i mean what an exciting time for our

22
00:12:36,710 --> 00:12:34,320
nation's human space flight program

23
00:12:38,310 --> 00:12:36,720
put these guys in that crew dragon on a

24
00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:38,320
falcon 9

25
00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:41,200
and this is really cool the crew dragon

26
00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:44,079
that they are flying on is the same one

27
00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:46,240
that flew bob and doug so megan gets to

28
00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:47,839
fly on the same

29
00:12:53,430 --> 00:12:51,760
vehicle that bob flew on last may

30
00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:53,440
in this rocket that they're riding on

31
00:12:57,990 --> 00:12:56,480
the falcon 9 it's the same falcon 9 that

32
00:12:59,030 --> 00:12:58,000
took the crew one to orbit that we're

33
00:13:02,230 --> 00:12:59,040
going to bring home here at the end of

34
00:13:03,030 --> 00:13:02,240

center and jody singer the team at

71
00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:25,760
marshall space flight center for their

72
00:14:30,710 --> 00:14:28,560
hard work in getting to certification

73
00:14:33,430 --> 00:14:30,720
flight certification for the crew crew 2

74
00:14:35,189 --> 00:14:33,440
launch a lot of hard work and of course

75
00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:35,199
i want to thank spacex and the spacex

76
00:14:38,470 --> 00:14:36,240
team

77
00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:38,480
they have been incredible partners

78
00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:40,639
for enabling nasa's

79
00:14:43,829 --> 00:14:42,800
vision for commercial space flight

80
00:14:55,030 --> 00:14:43,839
and

81
00:14:57,269 --> 00:14:55,040
crew 2 again marks the third

82
00:14:58,710 --> 00:14:57,279
crude commercial space flight mission to

83
00:15:00,389 --> 00:14:58,720
the iss

84
00:15:02,389 --> 00:15:00,399
but there's a whole lot of firsts with

85
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:02,399
this mission some of which bob has

86
00:15:06,150 --> 00:15:04,480
already mentioned um

87
00:15:07,829 --> 00:15:06,160
for crew dragon and falcon line for this

88
00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:07,839
mission uh like bob mentioned crew

89
00:15:14,069 --> 00:15:10,560
dragon endeavor flew on the historic

90
00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:14,079
demo 2 mission um less than a year ago

91
00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:15,120
today

92
00:15:19,829 --> 00:15:18,560
and the falcon 9 um flew the crew one

93
00:15:23,269 --> 00:15:19,839
astronauts

94
00:15:26,389 --> 00:15:23,279
to iss this past november

95
00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:26,399
so reuse is really important and it was

96
00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:29,199
a challenge for the nasa spacex team

97
00:15:34,790 --> 00:15:32,399
to certify both the spacecraft and the

98
00:15:36,550 --> 00:15:34,800
launch vehicle for for flight for this

99
00:15:38,629 --> 00:15:36,560
mission but they were more than up to

100
00:15:40,470 --> 00:15:38,639
the challenge and we had a very

101
00:15:42,389 --> 00:15:40,480
successful flight readiness review

102
00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:42,399
yesterday it's the first commercial

103
00:15:46,069 --> 00:15:44,079
mission flying two of our international

104
00:15:48,069 --> 00:15:46,079
partners to the station and returning

105
00:15:50,710 --> 00:15:48,079
them home it's the first commercial crew

106
00:15:52,949 --> 00:15:50,720
handover on the iss and it's the first

107
00:15:55,509 --> 00:15:52,959
time two commercial crew spacecraft will

108
00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:55,519
be docked to the station so just an

109
00:15:59,430 --> 00:15:58,320
incredibly exciting uh mission

110
00:16:02,470 --> 00:15:59,440
um

111
00:16:03,509 --> 00:16:02,480
and it's just a coincidence that

112
00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:03,519
the

113
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:07,040
day

114
00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:09,360
and it reminds us that of nasa's core

115
00:16:11,030 --> 00:16:10,240
mission

116
00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:11,040
to

117
00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:12,720
study the earth

118
00:16:17,269 --> 00:16:14,880
and conduct earth science research

119
00:16:20,550 --> 00:16:17,279
using remote sensing satellites

120
00:16:23,030 --> 00:16:20,560
so nasa's ascent this work is essential

121
00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:23,040
for the nation in the world in dealing

122
00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:24,720
with climate change

123
00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:27,120
and we're we not only we also

124
00:16:31,189 --> 00:16:28,959
collaborate internationally on just

125
00:16:33,189 --> 00:16:31,199
about all our science missions including

126
00:16:35,030 --> 00:16:33,199
our earth sciences mission so it's it's

127
00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:35,040
a not only an effort in the us but

128
00:16:38,470 --> 00:16:37,680
across the globe

129
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:38,480
we

130
00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:44,480
to study the earth from the oceans to

131
00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:46,959
the atmospheres and really try to study

132
00:16:51,269 --> 00:16:49,680
and model the earth as a system

133
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:51,279
and try to induce

134
00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:53,440
and try to determine

135
00:16:58,230 --> 00:16:56,880
how how the planet is evolving including

136
00:17:00,710 --> 00:16:58,240
climate change

137
00:17:02,790 --> 00:17:00,720
and uh then iss plays a unique role

138
00:17:04,870 --> 00:17:02,800
because of the orbit that it's in

139
00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:04,880
most of our earth orbiting satellites

140
00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:05,600
are

141
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:09,280
the poles

142
00:17:14,069 --> 00:17:11,760
and we can image the earth and oceans as

143
00:17:17,110 --> 00:17:14,079
the earth rotates under the satellite

144
00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:17,120
iss is in an inclined orbit so for some

145
00:17:22,710 --> 00:17:19,600
uh remote sensing uh instruments and and

146
00:17:25,029 --> 00:17:22,720
observations that iss provides a unique

147
00:17:27,270 --> 00:17:25,039
platform um to get those measurements

148
00:17:29,909 --> 00:17:27,280
and to do earth science research so it's

149
00:17:33,029 --> 00:17:29,919
a it's becoming more and more a part of

150
00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:33,039
the iss mission and of course commercial

151
00:17:37,510 --> 00:17:35,039
crews enabling an asset have crew

152
00:17:38,710 --> 00:17:37,520
members on the internet national station

153
00:17:41,510 --> 00:17:38,720
space station

154
00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:41,520
uh not only to maintain and do those

155
00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:43,360
earth observations but also do the

156
00:17:47,830 --> 00:17:44,960
critical research and technology

157
00:17:50,150 --> 00:17:47,840
development for our commercial partners

158
00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:50,160
and um and to enable

159
00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:52,799
our artemis missions our uh crude

160
00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:54,799
missions to the moon and eventually

161
00:18:00,150 --> 00:17:58,320
our uh our human mission to mars

162
00:18:02,470 --> 00:18:00,160
so i'm proud today to be joined by

163
00:18:04,070 --> 00:18:02,480
representatives from jackson and esa to

164
00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:04,080
agencies that have contributed to much

165
00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:06,720
of our exploration of space

166
00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:09,520
um so i want a thank you to uh junichi

167
00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:13,120

177
00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:39,520
fly

178
00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:42,480
on the u.s commercial crew vehicle i

179
00:18:46,070 --> 00:18:44,320
would like to thank all the partners

180
00:18:48,870 --> 00:18:46,080
that made this possible

181
00:18:50,470 --> 00:18:48,880
nasa of course but also spacex and

182
00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:50,480
all the other partners from the

183
00:18:54,470 --> 00:18:52,559
international space station

184
00:18:58,470 --> 00:18:54,480
because this is of course only possible

185
00:19:00,870 --> 00:18:58,480
when we all continue to work uh together

186
00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:00,880
uh it's a number of firsts as steve

187
00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:03,120
mentioned it's also the first for us

188
00:19:08,630 --> 00:19:05,919
of course to fly an esa astronaut on

189
00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:08,640
on a crew dragon vehicle our team has

190
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:11,360
worked alongside the nasa teams and the

191
00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:13,280
spacex teams to make sure that we can do

192
00:19:17,029 --> 00:19:15,600
this in all safety and as steve

193
00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:17,039
mentioned yesterday we had a very

194
00:19:22,150 --> 00:19:20,320
successful fr so we are ready to fly and

195
00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:22,160
we are ready to go

196
00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:24,240
it's also important for us that we see

197
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:26,720
that uh with uh the commercial crew we

198
00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:29,679
will now have four usos astronauts on

199
00:19:34,150 --> 00:19:32,480
orbit uh not only with uh this flight it

200
00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:34,160
started of course with the crew one but

201
00:19:38,150 --> 00:19:36,080
crew two and also with the coming

202
00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:38,160
flights that will come up because that

203
00:19:43,909 --> 00:19:40,720
significantly increases the time for

204
00:19:47,029 --> 00:19:43,919
utilization uh in the european uh in the

205
00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:47,039
iss and of course uh utilization is for

206
00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:50,000
isa one of the main drivers why we fly

207
00:19:54,630 --> 00:19:52,000
and why we participate in the

208
00:19:56,150 --> 00:19:54,640
international space station so thanks to

209
00:19:58,390 --> 00:19:56,160
all these crew members now and we will

210
00:20:01,350 --> 00:19:58,400
not only have four we will have five

211
00:20:03,590 --> 00:20:01,360
because uh we launched uh just a couple

212
00:20:05,510 --> 00:20:03,600
of days ago

213
00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:05,520
also on the soyuz you will have five

214
00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:07,200
usos crew members so you will have

215
00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:09,919
plenty of time to do uh to do science on

216
00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:11,760
on board of the space station

217
00:20:15,750 --> 00:20:13,760
uh last but not least

218
00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:15,760
this is a flight in the number of series

219
00:20:21,029 --> 00:20:17,760
tomorrow will be the first one but

220
00:20:22,789 --> 00:20:21,039
matthias motor will fly already in fall

221
00:20:25,270 --> 00:20:22,799
this year and after matthias we will

222
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:25,280
have samantha flying as well so for the

223
00:20:29,669 --> 00:20:27,520
first time three flights in a row for a

224
00:20:31,029 --> 00:20:29,679
year and a half we will have european

225
00:20:33,510 --> 00:20:31,039
astronauts on board of the the

226
00:20:35,990 --> 00:20:33,520
international space station so that also

227
00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:36,000
shows that isa is growing and is

228
00:20:41,590 --> 00:20:38,880
continuing to invest more in exploration

229
00:20:43,830 --> 00:20:41,600
and in human space flight which is

230
00:20:45,510 --> 00:20:43,840
great alongside with our

231
00:20:47,750 --> 00:20:45,520
other partners

232
00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:47,760
we will also see the mlm launch during

233
00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:50,240
this uh this flight with our russian

234
00:20:54,390 --> 00:20:51,840
colleagues and on board of that we will

235
00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:54,400
have the european robotic arm uh

236
00:20:58,470 --> 00:20:56,240
something that we have been looking very

237
00:21:01,590 --> 00:20:58,480
much forward for to to have on orbit and

238
00:21:04,149 --> 00:21:01,600
tomorrow will also be involved uh in the

239
00:21:06,789 --> 00:21:04,159
uh first checkouts of the european uh

240
00:21:08,630 --> 00:21:06,799
robotic arm uh tommaso great for that

241
00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:08,640
and so last but not least at the end of

242
00:21:12,870 --> 00:21:10,320
the mission tomah will be the commander

243
00:21:14,870 --> 00:21:12,880
to receive also matthias and and that's

244
00:21:17,350 --> 00:21:14,880
for europe is a big sign that we will

245
00:21:18,870 --> 00:21:17,360
have a european commander together with

246
00:21:20,470 --> 00:21:18,880
two european astronauts on the

247
00:21:21,430 --> 00:21:20,480
international space station so once

248
00:21:24,310 --> 00:21:21,440
again

249
00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:24,320

00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:23,360
hard for crew to launch operations our

271
00:22:31,190 --> 00:22:27,600
launch preparations and continuing iss

272
00:22:33,110 --> 00:22:31,200
operation under such a tough copy 90

273
00:22:35,350 --> 00:22:33,120

international partners

282
00:22:56,230 --> 00:22:54,080
i had to believe that

283
00:22:58,149 --> 00:22:56,240
the close relationship and the

284
00:22:59,909 --> 00:22:58,159
partnership between the

00:23:05,590 --> 00:23:02,240
especially nasa

287
00:23:11,430 --> 00:23:06,549

00:23:19,270 --> 00:23:15,919
the tokyo olympic and paralympic is

290
00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:19,280
being held on the ground maybe

291
00:23:26,230 --> 00:23:22,720
now i believe

292
00:23:32,950 --> 00:23:27,830
will lead

293
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:32,960
expedition 65 missions as a commander

294
00:23:41,510 --> 00:23:37,280
and succeed in the missions was supreme

295
00:23:43,110 --> 00:23:41,520
nasa and issa korea astronaut

296
00:23:45,430 --> 00:23:43,120

and frank said you know when the plane

313
00:24:26,470 --> 00:24:23,840
lands at the launch site that's when you

314
00:24:27,990 --> 00:24:26,480
realize it's getting real and it's

315
00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:28,000
certainly getting real for this crew and

316
00:24:32,070 --> 00:24:30,880
it's my extreme pleasure to introduce to

317
00:24:34,149 --> 00:24:32,080

bringing us closer to flight

378
00:27:28,630 --> 00:27:27,039
and it feels more real um but it doesn't

379
00:27:30,950 --> 00:27:28,640
just happen like this it takes a lot of

380
00:27:32,710 --> 00:27:30,960
hard work and uh nasa and the partners

381
00:27:34,470 --> 00:27:32,720
make it seem routine but it's not we

382
00:27:35,990 --> 00:27:34,480
know it's not uh we know there's a lot

383
00:27:38,389 --> 00:27:36,000
of work that goes into it so we'd like

384
00:27:40,149 --> 00:27:38,399
to thank all those people involved uh we

385
00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:40,159
take them in our hearts and we'll bring

386
00:27:44,389 --> 00:27:42,880
a bit of them uh together with us on the

387
00:27:46,149 --> 00:27:44,399
on the space station

388
00:28:11,350 --> 00:27:46,159
um i wanna say a few words in french as

389
00:28:14,230 --> 00:28:12,630
and because i'm speaking last i don't

390
00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:14,240
get to introduce anybody i think that's

391
00:28:17,990 --> 00:28:15,600
unfair

392
00:28:19,830 --> 00:28:18,000
so instead of introducing anybody i'll

393
00:28:21,430 --> 00:28:19,840
ask you to notice megan's shoes if you

394
00:28:22,549 --> 00:28:21,440
haven't done so yet

395
00:28:24,389 --> 00:28:22,559
because they're pretty awesome and

396
00:28:25,909 --> 00:28:24,399
there's talk of us all wearing the same

397
00:28:34,630 --> 00:28:25,919
shoes but for some reason she was

398
00:28:37,990 --> 00:28:36,310
okay hey i'm kyle hearing with nasa

399
00:28:39,350 --> 00:28:38,000
public affairs here at the kennedy space

400
00:28:41,190 --> 00:28:39,360
center um

401
00:28:42,789 --> 00:28:41,200
we only have about 10 minutes with this

402
00:28:44,470 --> 00:28:42,799
crew

403
00:28:45,830 --> 00:28:44,480
based on the launch time you guys can

404
00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:45,840
probably imagine they're going to be

405
00:28:50,710 --> 00:28:48,240
doing some pretty significant

406
00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:50,720
sleep shifting and their bedtime i think

407
00:28:55,990 --> 00:28:53,200
is about 6 p.m and they've got a bunch

408
00:28:57,750 --> 00:28:56,000
of stuff to do before that so

409
00:28:59,190 --> 00:28:57,760
if you don't mind ask one question and

410
00:29:01,430 --> 00:28:59,200
we'll see how many we can get through

411
00:29:03,110 --> 00:29:01,440
before i run out of time and we'll start

412
00:29:04,789 --> 00:29:03,120
with you marcia go ahead

413
00:29:06,789 --> 00:29:04,799
marcia done associated press for

414
00:29:07,590 --> 00:29:06,799
commander kimbrough probably

415
00:29:09,750 --> 00:29:07,600
um

416
00:29:12,149 --> 00:29:09,760
this still fills news spacex crew

417
00:29:14,470 --> 00:29:12,159
flights there's only been two do you see

418
00:29:16,630 --> 00:29:14,480
this as a test flight in part at least

419
00:29:19,750 --> 00:29:16,640
for your crew do you feel like test

420
00:29:22,230 --> 00:29:19,760
pilots and especially considering that

421
00:29:24,470 --> 00:29:22,240
the first time that reused rockets and

422
00:29:26,070 --> 00:29:24,480
capsules will be used for the astronauts

423
00:29:27,590 --> 00:29:26,080
yeah we're excited thanks marcia we're

424
00:29:30,230 --> 00:29:27,600
excited to fly on these flight proven

425
00:29:31,669 --> 00:29:30,240
vehicles um that you mentioned um you

426
00:29:33,269 --> 00:29:31,679
know certainly i think all of them until

427
00:29:35,590 --> 00:29:33,279
we get several years under our belt

428
00:29:37,350 --> 00:29:35,600
should be considered test flights um to

429
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:37,360
answer your questions so we're very

430
00:29:40,549 --> 00:29:39,120
confident in the team that got us ready

431
00:29:42,149 --> 00:29:40,559
that are working on the vehicles we

432
00:29:44,149 --> 00:29:42,159
don't have any issues with that

433
00:29:46,070 --> 00:29:44,159
and we're ready to fly here in like

434
00:29:48,870 --> 00:29:46,080
about five and a half days i think now

435
00:30:21,160 --> 00:29:51,029
hi i'm ted sarah so here from nhk japan

436
00:30:21,170 --> 00:31:03,350
[Music]

437
00:31:09,190 --> 00:31:06,149
let's see what was that

438
00:31:11,590 --> 00:31:09,200
so i'm i'm very fortunate to have a very

439
00:31:13,590 --> 00:31:11,600
uh experienced crew members onboard the

440
00:31:15,909 --> 00:31:13,600
space station when i'm uh the commander

441
00:31:17,029 --> 00:31:15,919
of the increment 65

442
00:31:18,950 --> 00:31:17,039
and

443
00:31:21,190 --> 00:31:18,960
it's it's gonna be a lot of fun uh we're

444
00:31:24,310 --> 00:31:21,200
gonna have a great mission i'm sure

445
00:31:26,710 --> 00:31:24,320
about that and in terms of uh olympics

446
00:31:29,190 --> 00:31:26,720
uh and the special olympics uh we'll be

447
00:31:32,070 --> 00:31:29,200
up there during that time frame so we'll

448
00:31:34,389 --> 00:31:32,080
enjoy and root for every single athlete

449
00:31:35,750 --> 00:31:34,399
that competes in that and we'll have our

450
00:31:39,269 --> 00:31:35,760
own olympics

451
00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:41,029
hi stephen clark from space flight now

452
00:31:44,230 --> 00:31:43,200
my question is for megan macarthur this

453
00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:44,240
will be your first trip to the

454
00:31:49,110 --> 00:31:46,080
international space station your first

455
00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:49,120
flight in over a decade and a new type

456
00:31:54,070 --> 00:31:52,080
of rocket a new type of spacecraft

457
00:31:56,149 --> 00:31:54,080
what about all that excites you most and

458
00:31:57,830 --> 00:31:56,159
what are you most looking forward to

459
00:32:00,230 --> 00:31:57,840
well the whole thing of course is

460
00:32:01,350 --> 00:32:00,240
exciting getting to fly on a new vehicle

461
00:32:03,750 --> 00:32:01,360
getting to

462
00:32:05,830 --> 00:32:03,760
stay in space long duration is something

463
00:32:07,509 --> 00:32:05,840
obviously completely new for me i think

464
00:32:09,430 --> 00:32:07,519
it's going to be like the difference

465
00:32:10,950 --> 00:32:09,440
between visiting a country for a

466
00:32:12,549 --> 00:32:10,960
business trip and then maybe moving

467
00:32:13,750 --> 00:32:12,559
there for you know longer term so i'm

468
00:32:16,230 --> 00:32:13,760
looking forward to seeing what those

469
00:32:18,389 --> 00:32:16,240
differences are and i'm very lucky to

470
00:32:20,630 --> 00:32:18,399
have three very experienced crewmates uh

471
00:32:21,909 --> 00:32:20,640
actually probably five very experienced

472
00:32:23,430 --> 00:32:21,919
crewmates who are gonna really be able

473
00:32:25,509 --> 00:32:23,440
to show me the ropes so i think it's

474
00:32:26,549 --> 00:32:25,519
gonna be a lot of fun and i i just am

475
00:32:30,870 --> 00:32:26,559
really looking forward to the whole

476
00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:33,909
matt trezza fox 35 news orlando we have

477
00:32:38,470 --> 00:32:36,240
an international crew here right now the

478
00:32:40,389 --> 00:32:38,480
planet is dealing with a global pandemic

479
00:32:42,230 --> 00:32:40,399
what's it been like preparing and

480
00:32:43,909 --> 00:32:42,240
training for this mission under these

481
00:32:49,750 --> 00:32:43,919
circumstances under these conditions and

482
00:32:52,470 --> 00:32:50,870
hey thanks for the question it's

483
00:32:53,830 --> 00:32:52,480
definitely played into our training as

484
00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:53,840
you might imagine

485
00:32:57,350 --> 00:32:55,440
it's really a testament to the training

486
00:32:59,990 --> 00:32:57,360
teams at all the centers around the

487
00:33:02,470 --> 00:33:00,000
world that have adapted and been able to

488
00:33:04,310 --> 00:33:02,480
train us uh even just getting traveled

489
00:33:06,070 --> 00:33:04,320
between the different countries has been

490
00:33:08,149 --> 00:33:06,080
a challenge but it uh it's all worked

491
00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:08,159
out and we've been very blessed to to

492
00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:09,039
you know

493
00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:10,240
spent a lot of time with these folks

494
00:33:13,269 --> 00:33:11,600
behind me and we've gotten to be really

495
00:33:15,350 --> 00:33:13,279
really good friends which is only going

496
00:33:16,950 --> 00:33:15,360
to play out further um on the space

497
00:33:18,389 --> 00:33:16,960
station and that's really only because

498
00:33:20,389 --> 00:33:18,399
of the pandemic so there's some silver

499
00:33:21,990 --> 00:33:20,399
linings believe it or not to it and we

500
00:33:23,590 --> 00:33:22,000
saw that through our training so the

501
00:33:25,669 --> 00:33:23,600
training didn't you know miss a beat

502
00:33:27,430 --> 00:33:25,679
honestly we had to make some adjustments

503
00:33:32,630 --> 00:33:27,440
but the teams did a fabulous job getting

504
00:33:37,029 --> 00:33:34,789
hi irene klotz with aviation week in

505
00:33:38,789 --> 00:33:37,039
space technology for shane

506
00:33:41,269 --> 00:33:38,799
if plants hold you're going to be on

507
00:33:43,110 --> 00:33:41,279
board when spacex flies a private

508
00:33:45,430 --> 00:33:43,120
mission did you have any special

509
00:33:47,590 --> 00:33:45,440
training to accommodate not just one but

510
00:33:49,750 --> 00:33:47,600
four guests and do you have any concerns

511
00:33:51,990 --> 00:33:49,760
about that many non-professional

512
00:33:53,110 --> 00:33:52,000
astronauts being on the station so early

513
00:33:55,190 --> 00:33:53,120
in the program

514
00:33:56,710 --> 00:33:55,200
thanks yeah we didn't get any special

515
00:33:58,470 --> 00:33:56,720
training of course we know that uh

516
00:33:59,669 --> 00:33:58,480
inspiration for emissions is really

517
00:34:01,269 --> 00:33:59,679
exciting and it's going to come up

518
00:34:02,789 --> 00:34:01,279
hopefully in the fall

519
00:34:04,630 --> 00:34:02,799
if we're lucky we'll get a chance to see

520
00:34:10,389 --> 00:34:04,640
it but if not then crew 3 will get the

521
00:34:13,270 --> 00:34:11,750
hello uh

522
00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:13,280
i'm a reporter from the french national

523
00:34:18,550 --> 00:34:15,440
tv may i ask a question in french to to

524
00:35:47,280 --> 00:34:18,560
to thomas for the european media

525
00:35:47,290 --> 00:35:56,790
[Music]

526
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:28,550
um

527
00:36:32,230 --> 00:36:30,870
is there a short english translation to

528
00:36:34,870 --> 00:36:32,240
that

529
00:36:36,870 --> 00:36:34,880
very short english is is uh i'm excited

530
00:36:38,150 --> 00:36:36,880
to be here at ksc because i haven't been

531
00:36:40,150 --> 00:36:38,160
here before i've been an astronaut for

532
00:36:42,150 --> 00:36:40,160
more than 10 years uh so kind of a

533
00:36:43,510 --> 00:36:42,160
veteran and and yet i'm i'm i'm

534
00:36:45,349 --> 00:36:43,520
discovering everything here this is all

535
00:36:47,030 --> 00:36:45,359
new to me the the place and the people

536
00:36:49,349 --> 00:36:47,040
who've made the space shuttle program go

537
00:36:50,870 --> 00:36:49,359
so i'm very honored to uh to be in that

538
00:36:52,550 --> 00:36:50,880
position and the rest of the question

539
00:36:54,710 --> 00:36:52,560
was about a new era of human space

540
00:36:56,069 --> 00:36:54,720
flight with private public partnership

541
00:36:57,430 --> 00:36:56,079
and i think we're living in the golden

542
00:36:59,750 --> 00:36:57,440
age of human spaceflight there's never

543
00:37:01,510 --> 00:36:59,760
been that many ways to go into space it

544
00:37:03,589 --> 00:37:01,520
looks like everybody every country has a

545
00:37:05,670 --> 00:37:03,599
project or a spacecraft that's

546
00:37:07,670 --> 00:37:05,680
capable of flying or will as well for

547
00:37:08,950 --> 00:37:07,680
the public because we're doing this for

548
00:37:10,950 --> 00:37:08,960
them we're hoping that what we're

549
00:37:14,470 --> 00:37:10,960
achieving in space uh benefits to

550
00:37:15,910 --> 00:37:14,480
everyone so follow the journey

551
00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:15,920
and hi i'm melanie cowan from the

552
00:37:20,390 --> 00:37:18,240
european space agency a question for

553
00:37:22,310 --> 00:37:20,400
tomah after following in the footsteps

554
00:37:24,310 --> 00:37:22,320
of gagarian for your first launch could

555
00:37:26,150 --> 00:37:24,320
you give us your thoughts about looking

556
00:37:27,990 --> 00:37:26,160
out the window seeing your vehicle

557
00:37:29,670 --> 00:37:28,000
getting prepared knowing that you're

558
00:37:31,990 --> 00:37:29,680
going to be following in the footsteps

559
00:37:33,670 --> 00:37:32,000
of the apollo astronauts and if you

560
00:37:35,190 --> 00:37:33,680
could say a few words about the work

561
00:37:37,510 --> 00:37:35,200
you're doing on board the international

562
00:37:39,349 --> 00:37:37,520
space station that will enable the next

563
00:37:41,670 --> 00:37:39,359
generation of esa astronauts to go

564
00:37:43,030 --> 00:37:41,680
forward to the moon and beyond

565
00:37:44,950 --> 00:37:43,040
that's uh thanks melanie it's good to

566
00:37:47,990 --> 00:37:44,960
see you here um that's a lot of

567
00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:48,000
footsteps to to follow in uh but we're

568
00:37:50,870 --> 00:37:49,520
doing our best

569
00:37:52,150 --> 00:37:50,880
like i said there's a lot of history

570
00:37:54,310 --> 00:37:52,160
here there was a lot of history in

571
00:37:56,150 --> 00:37:54,320
baikonur there's a lot of tradition but

572
00:37:58,150 --> 00:37:56,160
we're actually really lucky because now

573
00:37:59,829 --> 00:37:58,160
with with spacex with what spacex is

574
00:38:01,750 --> 00:37:59,839
doing with nasa and crew dragon we get

575
00:38:03,910 --> 00:38:01,760
to come up with our own new traditions

576
00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:03,920
which is pretty awesome

577
00:38:07,030 --> 00:38:05,760
so we're honored we're really doing our

578
00:38:09,190 --> 00:38:07,040
best

579
00:38:10,550 --> 00:38:09,200
and what we'll be doing on board

580
00:38:13,349 --> 00:38:10,560
actually onboard the space station is

581
00:38:15,109 --> 00:38:13,359
232 experiment i think for increment 65

582
00:38:17,109 --> 00:38:15,119
which is unbelievable it feels like

583
00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:17,119
every week we're we're just topping the

584
00:38:22,150 --> 00:38:19,040
the record of science that we've done

585
00:38:24,950 --> 00:38:22,160
before um there's 40 coming from isa

586
00:38:26,230 --> 00:38:24,960
12 run by kness directly

587
00:38:28,310 --> 00:38:26,240
and i think that's what's all this

588
00:38:29,910 --> 00:38:28,320
research that we're constantly feeding

589
00:38:31,430 --> 00:38:29,920
on the space state to the space station

590
00:38:34,150 --> 00:38:31,440
is what enables us

591
00:38:35,990 --> 00:38:34,160
to keep going as a research agency for

592
00:38:37,510 --> 00:38:36,000
esa so we have all those goals for the

593
00:38:39,990 --> 00:38:37,520
mission there's operational goals

594
00:38:42,230 --> 00:38:40,000
research goals uh very packed schedule

595
00:38:44,390 --> 00:38:42,240
we'll try to do our best and then hand

596
00:38:45,829 --> 00:38:44,400

597
00:38:47,109 --> 00:38:45,839

00:39:02,230 --> 00:39:00,000
after iss and that's and that's the

605
00:39:04,790 --> 00:39:02,240
artemis program so we're trying to

606
00:39:06,230 --> 00:39:04,800
lay the foundations for this um and it

607
00:39:07,510 --> 00:39:06,240
starts from doing a good job on board

608
00:39:09,990 --> 00:39:07,520
the iss

609
00:39:13,670 --> 00:39:11,670
