00:01:15,109 --> 00:01:12,720
international space station the return

16
00:01:16,950 --> 00:01:15,119
comes nearly six months after the crew

17
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:16,960
members arrived at the space station and

18
00:01:22,149 --> 00:01:19,600
also marks the longest duration mission

19
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,159
of a crude american spacecraft to date

20
00:01:26,789 --> 00:01:24,400
it was also the first night splashdown

21
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:26,799
of a u.s crude spacecraft since apollo

22
00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:29,520

00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:32,960
thank you

25
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:36,240
cruin astronauts worked on a number of

26
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:39,200
experiments as part of expedition in 64

27
00:01:43,749 --> 00:01:41,840
and expedition 65 on the space station

28
00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:43,759
including tissue chips that mimic the

29
00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:46,159
structure and function of human organs

30
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:48,240
to understand the role of microgravity

31
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:50,399
on human health and diseases and

32
00:01:54,389 --> 00:01:52,240
translate those findings to improve

33
00:01:56,230 --> 00:01:54,399
human health on earth they also grew

34
00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:56,240
radishes and different types of lights

35
00:02:00,950 --> 00:01:58,399
and soils as part of the ongoing efforts

36
00:02:02,709 --> 00:02:00,960
to produce food in space and they tested

37
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:02,719
a new system to remove heat from

38
00:02:05,749 --> 00:02:04,000
spacesuits

39
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:05,759
they had significant roles to play in

40
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:07,520
five space walks outside the space

41
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:08,399
station

42
00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:10,319
victor completed his first four

43
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:12,800
spacewalks including three alongside

44
00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:16,000
mike who now has done five space walks

45
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:19,360
naguchi joined nasa's kate rubins on the

46
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:20,800
fourth spacewalk of each of their

47
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:22,800
careers during the spacewalks the

48
00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:24,400
astronauts connected cables on a

49
00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:26,640
recently installed science platform

50
00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:28,560
prepared the station for upcoming solar

51
00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:30,080
array upgrades

52
00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:31,840
serviced the station's cooling system

53
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:34,400
and completed other maintenance tasks we

54
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:36,080
are so pleased to be joined by mike

we'll give the crew a chance to make

59
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:43,920
opening remarks and then we'll take

60
00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:45,040
questions

61
00:02:49,830 --> 00:02:47,120

everyone

69
00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:04,319
you know over six months ago we were

70
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:06,720
sitting here at uh at a news conference

71
00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:08,879
and i was talking about the amazing

72
00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:10,800
teams at uh nasa

73
00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:13,200
spacex and and in the dod that had

74
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:15,200
overcome so many challenges

75
00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:17,840
uh including a pandemic to to get us to

76
00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:19,680
the point of being ready for launch to

77
00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:21,440
the international space station in fact

78
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:24,239
i i mentioned that those teams and the

79
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:25,760
tens of thousands of people all around

80
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:27,680
the world that had been working

81
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:30,239
tirelessly against covet 19 had inspired

82
00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:33,440
the the name of our crew dragon capsule

83
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:34,799
resilience

84
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:37,280
and now today we're sitting here again

85
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:39,360
at a news conference our post uh post

86
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:41,440
mission news conference and

87
00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:44,000
and i'm even more impressed um in fact

88
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:46,879
i'm in awe of of those teams because

89
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:48,879
quite frankly i i don't know how our

90
00:03:53,429 --> 00:03:51,200
mission could have gone any better

91
00:03:55,509 --> 00:03:53,439
from the launch to the rendezvous to the

92
00:03:58,149 --> 00:03:55,519
docking to joining kate and sergey and

93
00:03:59,910 --> 00:03:58,159
sergey as part of expedition 64.

94
00:04:01,589 --> 00:03:59,920
megan you mentioned the spacewalks and

95
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:01,599
the robotics operation and all of the

96
00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:03,760
science that went on board the uh

97
00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:06,080
relocating resilience from the forward

98
00:04:10,869 --> 00:04:08,400
to the zenith docking port and then last

99
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:10,879
week the undocking deorbit and

100
00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:13,680
splashdown of resilience

101
00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:15,200
you know more or less i think everything

102
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:17,440
went like clockwork uh in fact i'm not

103
00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:18,880
aware of any objectives that that

104
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:20,880
weren't accomplished for for our mission

105
00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:23,440
and so on behalf of crew one we want to

106
00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:26,080
thank all of the folks at uh at nasa at

107
00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:31,120
spacex dod isa uh jaxa csa ross cosmos

108
00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:33,440
and and all of the organizations and

109
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:35,840
companies and personnel that contributed

110
00:04:40,629 --> 00:04:39,040
to this mission um just a job well done

111
00:04:42,390 --> 00:04:40,639
i also like to thank your families

112
00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:42,400
because i know there were a lot of late

113
00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:44,240
nights there were a lot of weekends that

114
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:46,240
you spent away from home and so i think

115
00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:47,840
your families deserve some thanks as

116
00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:49,440
well and speaking of families i'd like

117
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:51,280
to thank our families

118
00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:52,880
i do believe the hardest part of space

119
00:04:55,909 --> 00:04:54,560
flight is on the families there's a lot

120
00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:55,919
of stress a lot of burden that they have

121
00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:58,240
to carry and and our families did it

122
00:05:02,150 --> 00:05:00,479
amazingly well and with a lot of grace

123
00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:02,160
and then finally i'd like to thank my

124
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:05,039
crewmates uh victor shannon suici

125
00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:06,400
they made being the commander of

126
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:08,880
resilience extremely easy and it was an

127
00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:11,120
absolute joy uh getting to live and work

128
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:13,440
with you all uh on on the space station

129
00:05:17,189 --> 00:05:15,360
so thank you very much we're happy to be

130
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:17,199
here and uh looking forward to your

131
00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:18,720
questions

132
00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:20,720
that's great to hear thanks mike

133
00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:23,039
let's start with bill harwood with cbs

134
00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:30,710
i'm interested in for the three of you

135
00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:32,720
that have experience on a soyuz could

136
00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:34,960
you maybe compare and contrast a little

137
00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:38,479
bit soyuz compared to crew dragon and

138
00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:40,400
maybe even for victor i know this was

139
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:42,320
your first entry but you know any

140
00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:44,400
thoughts you have as a veteran high

141
00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:46,639
performance aircraft pilot you know any

142
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:48,320
any insights you have into what it's

143
00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:50,000
like to come home on a crew dragon

144
00:05:57,990 --> 00:05:56,469
um i guess i can start the uh

145
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:58,000
there are there are some differences

146
00:06:02,550 --> 00:05:59,600
it's not uh

147
00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:02,560
necessarily significant um i would say

148
00:06:06,870 --> 00:06:04,800
the g loading profile that we see is

149
00:06:08,469 --> 00:06:06,880
different for each one uh neither one's

150
00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:08,479
better or worse but they're just

151
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:10,479
different and then coming home it's the

152
00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:13,360
same thing the g profile is different

153
00:06:17,189 --> 00:06:15,120
when the parachutes come out is a bit

154
00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:17,199
different and so you spend less time

155
00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:19,280
under a parachute on the dragon than you

156
00:06:23,110 --> 00:06:21,520
do under the soyuz uh landing in the

157
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:23,120
water was interesting because none of us

158
00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:25,199
really knew what to expect but i would

159
00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:27,039
say from my standpoint it felt a little

160
00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:30,479
bit softer than landing on land

161
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:32,960
and then having the rocking motion after

162
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:34,400
you land in the water

163
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:35,680
i think we got very lucky with sea

164
00:06:39,189 --> 00:06:37,440
states it could have been a lot more

165
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:39,199
dramatic than it was so

166
00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:42,000
some subtle differences but a lot of

167
00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:49,430
okay we'll take the next question from

168
00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:56,230
hi thanks uh maybe a question for mike

169
00:06:59,749 --> 00:06:57,919
since you set up camping

170
00:07:02,309 --> 00:06:59,759
in dragon but

171
00:07:04,150 --> 00:07:02,319
for any of you the next crude launch on

172
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:04,160
dragon on your dragon

173
00:07:08,150 --> 00:07:05,520
won't be going to the space station

174
00:07:10,469 --> 00:07:08,160
they'll be sending spending a few days

175
00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:10,479
uh inside um

176
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:12,560
is there any concern or would you have

177
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:14,400
any concerns about spending more time in

178
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:15,520
the dragon

179
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:18,160
um on orbit without having a destination

180
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:20,720
to go and are there any pinch points or

181
00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:22,560
anything that you think that you would

182
00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:23,919
want to have changed if you were going

183
00:07:26,790 --> 00:07:25,840
to spend all your time inside the

184
00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:26,800
capsule

185
00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:29,120
thanks yeah that's absolutely a great

186
00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:30,639
question and and i think all of us are

187
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:32,960
very excited about the the upcoming

188
00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:34,880
mission that resilience is going to have

189
00:07:40,950 --> 00:07:38,080
uh potentially later this year um it you

190
00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:40,960
know the vehicle is made to uh to go in

191
00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:42,960
for what we call free flight for you

192
00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:45,199
know around five days or so and so i

193
00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:47,360
think uh in terms of having any concerns

194
00:07:51,589 --> 00:07:49,360
with being in the vehicle uh for that

195
00:07:53,189 --> 00:07:51,599
amount of time no i i think uh the one

196
00:07:55,189 --> 00:07:53,199
thing you have to do though is be very

197
00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:55,199
prepared and and have a plan for how

198
00:07:59,830 --> 00:07:57,440
you're going to handle um just all of

199
00:08:01,110 --> 00:07:59,840
the logistics if you will in terms of

200
00:08:02,390 --> 00:08:01,120
what you're going to unpack and when

201
00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:02,400
you're going to pack it how you're going

202
00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:03,520
to pack it i guess actually that's

203
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:05,280
probably the first thing to try and do

204
00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:07,520
that in a smart way

205
00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:10,160
because the space is small and so you do

206
00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:11,759
need to take those kind of things into

207
00:08:16,869 --> 00:08:14,960
consideration um but at the same time

208
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:16,879
there there is you know there's enough

209
00:08:20,950 --> 00:08:18,160
room in there for the four of us i think

210
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:20,960
we were we're certainly comfortable and

211
00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:22,479
again if you're if you're going into it

212
00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:24,720
with that with that knowledge you can

213
00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:26,720
you can find ways to work around the the

214
00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:28,960
constraints that you that you do have uh

215
00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:31,840
given the space and so again i i think

216
00:08:36,070 --> 00:08:33,839
uh the mission is going to be extremely

217
00:08:38,389 --> 00:08:36,080
exciting i think they are going to

218
00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:38,399
find ways to make it work and uh we're

219
00:08:41,829 --> 00:08:40,240
hoping that maybe we'll have a chance to

220
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:41,839
actually chat with them a little bit

221
00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:43,360
beforehand as well and maybe we can just

222
00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:45,120
pass along some some ideas or

223
00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:50,870
okay let's take a question from

224
00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:54,880
stellenbarber with low profile

225
00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:56,399
thank you for taking my question

226
00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:58,240
congratulations on your successful

227
00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:00,080
admission

228
00:09:05,269 --> 00:09:02,480
mike as commander of resilience which

229
00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:05,279
collaborative activities are you most

230
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:08,800
proud of during your time and why thank

231
00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:10,399
you so much

232
00:09:14,949 --> 00:09:12,560
yeah celine that's that's a wonderful

233
00:09:16,710 --> 00:09:14,959
question and and i think

234
00:09:18,070 --> 00:09:16,720
well first of all i think collaborative

235
00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:18,080
activities the fact that we're here

236
00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:20,720
sitting uh uh with you today is is

237
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:22,959
probably what i'm most proud about is is

238
00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:24,480
the fact that we pulled it off and made

239
00:09:29,350 --> 00:09:26,720
it work but i really it kind of goes

240
00:09:31,829 --> 00:09:29,360
back to um when we were in training you

241
00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:31,839
know ike victor and i have been uh we

242
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:34,480
had been assigned um last i guess august

243
00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:37,600
18 2018. so we had been working quite a

244
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:40,480
while together um in our training in the

245
00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:42,240
development of the crew dragon and then

246
00:09:46,949 --> 00:09:44,720
shannon and suici joined uh quite a bit

247
00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:46,959
later actually pretty late in a training

248
00:09:49,910 --> 00:09:47,839
flow

249
00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:49,920
and there was one point in our training

250
00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:52,240
flow where we were uh coming we were

251
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:53,680
practicing docking

252
00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:56,720
and uh of course as as most sims have

253
00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:58,399
there's things that don't go quite right

254
00:10:04,550 --> 00:09:59,440
and

255
00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:04,560
something that wasn't uh was going

256
00:10:07,509 --> 00:10:06,160
wasn't going as planned

257
00:10:12,550 --> 00:10:07,519
and

258
00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:12,560
something to contribute to coming up

259
00:10:17,190 --> 00:10:14,320
with what the solution was

260
00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:17,200
and after after we successfully docked

261
00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:19,120
in that sim and and we got to go home we

262
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:20,320
were sitting around the table having

263
00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:21,839
dinner that night and and all of us were

264
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:24,880
just beaming um at that how well that

265
00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:27,680
day had gone and and uh in hindsight now

266
00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:29,200
i think that was a good precursor for

267
00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:30,560
what the mission was going to be like

268
00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:31,440
because

269
00:10:41,110 --> 00:10:37,829
all right let's go to amy thompson with

270
00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:43,670
hi thank you for taking my question

271
00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:45,360
my question is for mike and i was

272
00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:46,800
interested in

273
00:10:49,990 --> 00:10:48,079
some of the

274
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:50,000
space gardening that you did while in

275
00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:51,760
orbit i think you did some plant

276
00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:53,440
transplanting and i was just kind of

277
00:10:56,310 --> 00:10:55,519
wondering you know what that was like

278
00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:56,320
and

279
00:10:59,430 --> 00:10:57,440
how

280
00:11:01,670 --> 00:10:59,440
important it is for astronauts to have

281
00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:01,680
fresh food on orbit thank you

282
00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:03,920
yeah that's uh you know a wonderful

283
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:06,240
question and something that uh i think

284
00:11:10,710 --> 00:11:08,720
all of us actually um at some point were

285
00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:10,720
had a had a hand in in raising some of

286
00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:13,279
these crops up there and so we megan

287
00:11:17,829 --> 00:11:15,839
mentioned the radishes that we did um

288
00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:17,839
and then we also had uh there's an

289
00:11:22,870 --> 00:11:20,000
experiment called veggie and so we had

290
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:22,880
an opportunity to to do a couple of uh

291
00:11:26,389 --> 00:11:24,720
cycles if you will with the with the

292
00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:26,399
veggie experiment and in one of those

293
00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:28,800
like you said we were able to uh

294
00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:31,200
when when one of we had these pillows

295
00:11:35,269 --> 00:11:33,600
that that you would grow uh the plants

296
00:11:36,550 --> 00:11:35,279
in and and when some of them didn't

297
00:11:38,389 --> 00:11:36,560
germinate we didn't have any plants we

298
00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:38,399
were able to one that had

299
00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:39,760
a couple plants in it we were able to

300
00:11:44,069 --> 00:11:41,920
take some of those and transplant it and

301
00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:44,079
have them be successful

302
00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:46,399
and actually able to harvest

303
00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:49,200
some some food off of them later on

304
00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:51,600
so that was pretty exciting we also were

305
00:11:54,069 --> 00:11:52,720
able to

306
00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:54,079
actually grow some of the plants for a

307
00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:55,920
longer period of time and go through

308
00:12:00,470 --> 00:11:58,160
multiple harvests on them as well

309
00:12:02,310 --> 00:12:00,480
and and so i remember there was uh the

310
00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:02,320
one one time when we had completed the

311
00:12:05,910 --> 00:12:04,480
harvest and i guess that was

312
00:12:09,030 --> 00:12:05,920
how what was it was on one of the

313
00:12:10,790 --> 00:12:09,040
mustards and we created wraps lettuce

314
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:10,800
kind of like a lettuce wrap at dinner

315
00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:14,160
that night and it was amazing um

316
00:12:18,870 --> 00:12:16,399
absolutely fantastic to to have that

317
00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:18,880
fresh food and it wasn't just that

318
00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:20,240
either you know you would float into

319
00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:22,399
that module where the where the crops

320
00:12:26,550 --> 00:12:24,320
were growing and you could just smell it

321
00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:26,560
and it smelled like the fresh produce

322
00:12:31,110 --> 00:12:28,880
section of your grocery store and and

323
00:12:32,949 --> 00:12:31,120
there's i know there's something special

324
00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:32,959
about that that connection to earth that

325
00:12:36,230 --> 00:12:35,040
i think is pretty powerful and

326
00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:36,240
and the great thing is i think we're

327
00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:38,240
getting closer to where we can hopefully

328
00:12:41,509 --> 00:12:39,760
start to see

329
00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:41,519
it moving from being an experiment to

330
00:12:47,670 --> 00:12:43,760
something that's just kind of standard

331
00:12:50,310 --> 00:12:47,680
operations is having fresh food up there

332
00:13:04,710 --> 00:12:50,320
very cool okay let's go to jasmine

333
00:13:08,629 --> 00:13:06,310
jasmine you can go ahead and ask your

334
00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:08,639
question

335
00:13:11,829 --> 00:13:10,160
astronaut mike thank you so much for

336
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:11,839
taking my question what's the most

337
00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:13,519
significant moment you experienced on

338
00:13:17,990 --> 00:13:16,160
the mission and why

339
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:18,000
was that for everybody

340
00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:25,110
okay so i think what i heard was what

341
00:13:28,389 --> 00:13:26,320
was the most significant part of the

342
00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:28,399
mission and why

343
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:30,959
um that's a very hard question to answer

344
00:13:34,949 --> 00:13:32,800
because there was a lot of of

345
00:13:36,629 --> 00:13:34,959
significant moments i you know i think

346
00:13:39,189 --> 00:13:36,639
the launch itself was significant

347
00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:39,199
because this was the first time um that

348
00:13:43,350 --> 00:13:41,760
we had a full crew on board um the

349
00:13:44,150 --> 00:13:43,360
commercial vehicle and

350
00:13:46,069 --> 00:13:44,160
and

351
00:13:47,910 --> 00:13:46,079
taking us up to seven people on board

352
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:47,920
the international space station that was

353
00:13:52,069 --> 00:13:50,240
that was a huge moment um and then of

354
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:52,079
course i've got to say splashing down

355
00:13:54,870 --> 00:13:53,839
and having successful wins in the

356
00:13:57,509 --> 00:13:54,880
mission

357
00:13:59,590 --> 00:13:57,519
uh was was a huge moment as well and and

358
00:14:01,030 --> 00:13:59,600
then everything that we we had going on

359
00:14:02,870 --> 00:14:01,040
on board the space station from the

360
00:14:05,189 --> 00:14:02,880
space walks to the science

361
00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:05,199
um and then one that sticks out to me i

362
00:14:09,750 --> 00:14:06,480
think it's a

363
00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:09,760
uh was the port relocation um it was

364
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:11,680
extremely impressive to me at how

365
00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:14,240
smoothly that port relocation went when

366
00:14:19,350 --> 00:14:16,639
we took resilience and we undocked from

367
00:14:21,910 --> 00:14:19,360
the forward docking port and we moved

368
00:14:24,629 --> 00:14:21,920
around to the zenith docking port

369
00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:24,639
it i just i it really surprises me it

370
00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:26,320
doesn't surprise me but man it was just

371
00:14:31,189 --> 00:14:28,720
amazing that the first time that that

372
00:14:33,430 --> 00:14:31,199
we've done this and it went according to

373
00:14:34,949 --> 00:14:33,440
the schedule and you usually see some

374
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:34,959
changes to the schedule or you know a

375
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:36,720
little late here a little early there

376
00:14:40,870 --> 00:14:38,320
but i mean it just marched right down

377
00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:40,880
like that was it was uh written out and

378
00:14:42,710 --> 00:14:41,920
and so

379
00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:42,720
yeah

380
00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:45,040
just like us just like i said and so it

381
00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:47,440
was extremely impressive and and one of

382
00:14:51,030 --> 00:14:49,360
the reasons i say i think that is such

383
00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:51,040
an important part is because there's

384
00:14:54,949 --> 00:14:53,199
going to be a lot of vehicle traffic uh

385
00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:54,959
coming up to the international space

386
00:14:57,829 --> 00:14:56,560
station over the next

387
00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:57,839
four or five years particularly with

388
00:15:01,430 --> 00:14:59,600
these commercial capabilities coming up

389
00:15:03,509 --> 00:15:01,440
and they're gonna there's gonna be a

390
00:15:05,269 --> 00:15:03,519
need to move vehicles around and so

391
00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:05,279
having this capability i think is gonna

392
00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:06,560
be extremely important and i would

393
00:15:09,829 --> 00:15:07,600
certainly say that was one of the

394
00:15:11,269 --> 00:15:09,839
highlights of of the mission

395
00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:11,279
okay great

396
00:15:22,710 --> 00:15:19,269
hello

397
00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:24,870
can you hear me yes we can go ahead and

398
00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:27,600
ask your question oh hi okay so this is

399
00:15:31,509 --> 00:15:29,279
the third circle in hk and i have a

400
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:31,519
question for astronomers

401
00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:33,360
well it's been a second time in the

402
00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:35,120
history that there's a two japanese

403
00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:39,360
astronauts on iss on board and i wonder

404
00:15:44,389 --> 00:15:41,440
if you can tell me uh what was the

405
00:15:47,110 --> 00:15:44,399
interaction with aki hoshide another job

406
00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:47,120
disaster or not this is a

407
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:49,920
event that that has ski handover and

408
00:15:54,550 --> 00:15:52,560
also let you know at least your first

409
00:15:56,629 --> 00:15:54,560
space flight and what makes if you can

410
00:15:57,430 --> 00:15:56,639
name any particular

411
00:15:59,829 --> 00:15:57,440
uh

412
00:16:01,189 --> 00:15:59,839
event that is quite memorable it would

413
00:16:04,870 --> 00:16:01,199
be great we can just do in both

414
00:16:05,990 --> 00:16:04,880
languages and if possible

415
00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:06,000
okay uh

416
00:16:11,030 --> 00:16:08,639
so thanks for the questions uh answer

417
00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:11,040
very briefly in two languages obviously

418
00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:13,600
aki is right now uh commander of the

419
00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:16,480
space station he's doing great and uh

420
00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:18,959
it's it's purely a joy it's not just aki

421
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:21,440
but accepting a new uh

422
00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:23,360
members to the space station because

423
00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:25,839
most of the time we are five of us over

424
00:16:31,509 --> 00:16:28,720
the seven of us and then it's uh uh

425
00:16:34,550 --> 00:16:31,519
whenever the new members coming into iss

426
00:16:36,389 --> 00:16:34,560
it's a joy and it's especially fun if

427
00:16:40,069 --> 00:16:36,399
you know the person really well and i

428
00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:40,079
know aki for almost 25 years now so uh

429
00:16:44,550 --> 00:16:41,920
it's good to have him on board he

430
00:16:49,870 --> 00:16:44,560
obviously he's experienced and he's now

431
00:16:49,880 --> 00:17:02,310
[Music]

432
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,270
foreign

433
00:17:10,949 --> 00:17:08,870
thank you suici

434
00:17:13,990 --> 00:17:10,959
let's go to a question from marcia dunn

435
00:17:19,029 --> 00:17:14,000
with the associated press

436
00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:20,390
you have me

437
00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:22,240
we have you

438
00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:25,439
okay yes uh question for you mike um we

439
00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:27,120
all loved your little dance once you got

440
00:17:32,789 --> 00:17:29,840
out of the capsule

441
00:17:34,789 --> 00:17:32,799
did you go straight home um to your own

442
00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:34,799
beds that night in houston or did you

443
00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:36,080
end up spending

444
00:17:41,190 --> 00:17:38,880
having to go to crew quarters at jsc and

445
00:17:42,789 --> 00:17:41,200
how did you all feel and since the

446
00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:42,799
private crew is going to be taking

447
00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:46,240
resilience on its next orbital spin um

448
00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:47,120
would you

449
00:17:53,669 --> 00:17:50,320
handle the

450
00:17:55,110 --> 00:17:53,679
a re-entry in on a dragon or or is the

451
00:17:56,630 --> 00:17:55,120
launch more of concern when you're

452
00:17:58,789 --> 00:17:56,640
talking about regular people and what

453
00:18:00,310 --> 00:17:58,799
they can withstand thanks

454
00:18:02,310 --> 00:18:00,320
yeah thank you uh

455
00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:02,320
great question i think

456
00:18:05,669 --> 00:18:03,600
as far as my little dance i think the

457
00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:05,679
adrenaline was uh was falling pretty

458
00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:08,960
good at that point um but

459
00:18:12,710 --> 00:18:10,880
uh you know certainly

460
00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:12,720
it was interesting that the difference

461
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:15,440
uh this time versus the soyuz when we

462
00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:16,640
returned in soyuz because when you

463
00:18:21,510 --> 00:18:18,960
return on the soyuz uh you get on a

464
00:18:23,830 --> 00:18:21,520
plane and it's a basically a 24-hour

465
00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:23,840
return before you get back and i think

466
00:18:27,110 --> 00:18:26,080
we were back here in in houston within

467
00:18:28,789 --> 00:18:27,120
six hours

468
00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:28,799
six seven hours or something like that

469
00:18:33,029 --> 00:18:31,280
and and so it's amazing the amount of

470
00:18:35,669 --> 00:18:33,039
recovery that happens just within that

471
00:18:37,669 --> 00:18:35,679
first 24 hours and and so to be already

472
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:37,679
back here and and already around your

473
00:18:42,230 --> 00:18:40,000
family members and and things like and

474
00:18:43,430 --> 00:18:42,240
and just having to do more than what was

475
00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:43,440
what you normally would do when you're

476
00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:45,200
sitting on the airplane or laying on the

477
00:18:49,669 --> 00:18:47,679
airplane and getting a lot of sleep um

478
00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:49,679
and so i think that was a little bit uh

479
00:18:53,590 --> 00:18:51,760
more challenging and so for myself

480
00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:53,600
personally uh when we got to crew

481
00:18:57,510 --> 00:18:55,679
quarters um i

482
00:18:59,669 --> 00:18:57,520
you know we had to do some medical

483
00:19:02,150 --> 00:18:59,679
activities right away but uh then after

484
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:02,160
that i took a nap a nice long nap and it

485
00:19:07,110 --> 00:19:04,720
felt pretty good and and uh and so i

486
00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:07,120
ended up you know my my family joined me

487
00:19:11,270 --> 00:19:09,520
and i ended up staying that first night

488
00:19:13,590 --> 00:19:11,280
in crew quarters and i you know i i

489
00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:13,600
could have gone home and uh but i didn't

490
00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:15,520
feel that there was a need to and

491
00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:18,000
and so i i thought that uh

492
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:20,960
went pretty well and and uh in terms of

493
00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:23,520
you know what it's like uh coming down

494
00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:24,400
um

495
00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:26,640
on resilience and landing in the water

496
00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:28,320
and um you know shannon mentioned

497
00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:30,000
earlier the the g profile and the

498
00:19:34,549 --> 00:19:32,400
difference there and and i know that um

499
00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:34,559
i do believe that that the even the

500
00:19:37,190 --> 00:19:35,840
civilian crews are going to go through

501
00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:37,200
some centrifuge training and so they're

502
00:19:40,950 --> 00:19:38,960
going to get to experience

503
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:40,960
some of those g profiles and so it's not

504
00:19:45,029 --> 00:19:43,360
going to be completely unique to them

505
00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:45,039
if you if you think about it when we're

506
00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:46,400
going through all of our training it's

507
00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:48,080
in a fixed base simulator so we're not

508
00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:50,000
experiencing the g's

509
00:19:53,110 --> 00:19:51,760
and all of that as as we do most of our

510
00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:53,120
sims as well

511
00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:55,120
and and so i think uh that they're going

512
00:19:59,510 --> 00:19:57,440
to be able to handle it uh just as just

513
00:20:01,830 --> 00:19:59,520
as well i think it is going to be you

514
00:20:04,149 --> 00:20:01,840
know the the opportunities to pass along

515
00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:04,159
uh what it's like what it feels like can

516
00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:05,840
certainly be helpful and i know again

517
00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:08,240
within the soyuz world that uh that

518
00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:10,000
information that you know what we call

519
00:20:13,990 --> 00:20:12,400
gouge uh that gets passed down from crew

520
00:20:16,310 --> 00:20:14,000
to crew to crew and it's extremely

521
00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:16,320
helpful just to to know what to expect

522
00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:17,760
when you're going through those those

523
00:20:29,669 --> 00:20:24,310
all right thank you let's take a

524
00:20:33,270 --> 00:20:31,750
yes this question is for astronaut

525
00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:33,280
victor glover

526
00:20:37,669 --> 00:20:35,760
just wanted to know um and i'm based in

527
00:20:39,430 --> 00:20:37,679
north texas by the way so

528
00:20:41,590 --> 00:20:39,440
uh happy to see that you're representing

529
00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:41,600
texas well but just wanting to know how

530
00:20:45,430 --> 00:20:43,520
it feels and has it

531
00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:45,440
really sunk in for you yet being the

532
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:48,080
first black astronaut

533
00:20:52,630 --> 00:20:49,760
having done a long-term stay on the

534
00:20:54,390 --> 00:20:52,640
international space station

535
00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:54,400
well thanks for the question and i i

536
00:20:58,630 --> 00:20:56,240
think the um

537
00:21:00,549 --> 00:20:58,640
the the historic nature of this mission

538
00:21:02,310 --> 00:21:00,559
period i think some we need to unpack it

539
00:21:03,669 --> 00:21:02,320
a little bit and talk about all of the

540
00:21:05,590 --> 00:21:03,679
amazing things that we were able to

541
00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:05,600
accomplish accomplish on this mission

542
00:21:09,110 --> 00:21:07,360
but uh i will answer your questions

543
00:21:11,190 --> 00:21:09,120
specifically but uh you know it's in the

544
00:21:13,190 --> 00:21:11,200
context of a bunch of of amazing things

545
00:21:14,070 --> 00:21:13,200
that that we were able to do with this

546
00:21:16,549 --> 00:21:14,080
team

547
00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:16,559
and so to to finally have this done i

548
00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:18,240
think that's the most important part of

549
00:21:22,470 --> 00:21:19,760
it that resonates with me is that we

550
00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:22,480
finally done that so that now we can

551
00:21:25,990 --> 00:21:24,400
focus on the next person that gets to go

552
00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:26,000
and and live on the space station

553
00:21:31,510 --> 00:21:28,880
successfully so um i'm i'm glad to have

554
00:21:33,590 --> 00:21:31,520
been in this position um but it wasn't

555
00:21:35,350 --> 00:21:33,600
uh something that i chose or that i set

556
00:21:37,190 --> 00:21:35,360
up it but now that we've done it i'm

557
00:21:39,430 --> 00:21:37,200
glad that we get to celebrate and i've

558
00:21:41,430 --> 00:21:39,440
been receiving a lot of emails and and

559
00:21:43,830 --> 00:21:41,440
messages from folks that say hey my kids

560
00:21:45,750 --> 00:21:43,840
saw you and they're so excited and it's

561
00:21:47,669 --> 00:21:45,760
great to that that he can look at the

562
00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:47,679
nasa tv broadcast and see someone that

563
00:21:50,630 --> 00:21:48,960
looks like him and i think that that's

564
00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:50,640
important i think we all need to be able

565
00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:52,799
to dream in in all colors you know and

566
00:21:57,590 --> 00:21:55,200
so that's important but i think it's

567
00:22:00,149 --> 00:21:57,600
also important that nasa continues to to

568
00:22:02,230 --> 00:22:00,159
do our missions well and successfully uh

569
00:22:04,710 --> 00:22:02,240
by making sure we have the right people

570
00:22:06,310 --> 00:22:04,720
involved and so um i don't know if it's

571
00:22:08,710 --> 00:22:06,320
ever going to completely sink in i think

572
00:22:10,549 --> 00:22:08,720
there's a lot to unpack into to process

573
00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:10,559
from this mission and i'm still writing

574
00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:12,480
in my journal and and you know looking

575
00:22:17,350 --> 00:22:15,760
at all of the lessons but um i i i'm i'm

576
00:22:19,190 --> 00:22:17,360
very grateful to all of the people who

577
00:22:20,549 --> 00:22:19,200
helped to make this possible and i'm

578
00:22:22,710 --> 00:22:20,559
very happy to have done my little part

579
00:22:24,310 --> 00:22:22,720
to to move things forward so thanks for

580
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:24,320
the question

581
00:22:29,990 --> 00:22:26,480
thanks victor okay let's take a question

582
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:30,000
from lucy auberg with asp

583
00:22:33,669 --> 00:22:31,360
hi um

584
00:22:37,110 --> 00:22:33,679
thanks for taking my question so it was

585
00:22:39,510 --> 00:22:37,120
the first night time uh splashdown since

586
00:22:43,110 --> 00:22:39,520
1968.

587
00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:43,120
were you rather worried about or excited

588
00:22:46,549 --> 00:22:45,760
about that and how did it feel to come

589
00:22:49,029 --> 00:22:46,559
back

590
00:22:50,230 --> 00:22:49,039
at night can you describe it a bit was

591
00:22:53,990 --> 00:22:50,240
it

592
00:22:56,230 --> 00:22:54,000
one more challenge for you

593
00:22:58,149 --> 00:22:56,240
yeah i would say in

594
00:23:00,230 --> 00:22:58,159
really from our standpoint it

595
00:23:02,710 --> 00:23:00,240
really wasn't much of an extra challenge

596
00:23:04,630 --> 00:23:02,720
um our activities were exactly the same

597
00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:04,640
and we had lights on inside the capsule

598
00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:06,000
so it was

599
00:23:08,950 --> 00:23:07,600
it was most the time until we turned

600
00:23:11,909 --> 00:23:08,960
them out but

601
00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:11,919
um so it was no our activities

602
00:23:15,909 --> 00:23:14,080
were no different and i think the hard

603
00:23:17,750 --> 00:23:15,919
part or the harder part was on the

604
00:23:19,190 --> 00:23:17,760
search and rescue team that had to find

605
00:23:20,950 --> 00:23:19,200
us in the dark and they had practiced

606
00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:20,960
that a lot so they were very well

607
00:23:25,190 --> 00:23:23,600
prepared i i think

608
00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:25,200
if it had been daytime it would have

609
00:23:30,390 --> 00:23:28,320
been exactly the same for us

610
00:23:34,310 --> 00:23:30,400
okay thank you let's take another

611
00:23:35,830 --> 00:23:34,320
question from bill harwood with cbs news

612
00:23:37,669 --> 00:23:35,840
hey thanks much i just wanted to go back

613
00:23:40,390 --> 00:23:37,679
to my same question but to victor about

614
00:23:43,029 --> 00:23:40,400
re-entry and maybe get his uh his

615
00:23:44,549 --> 00:23:43,039
impressions of this as a as a jet pilot

616
00:23:46,390 --> 00:23:44,559
what he thought about coming down as a

617
00:23:49,669 --> 00:23:46,400
crew dragon

618
00:23:50,549 --> 00:23:49,679
well uh this is much more dynamic uh and

619
00:23:52,630 --> 00:23:50,559
much

620
00:23:54,789 --> 00:23:52,640
greater duration than you anything that

621
00:23:56,310 --> 00:23:54,799
you would get in a fighter type aircraft

622
00:23:58,870 --> 00:23:56,320
and so i think you know having that

623
00:24:00,149 --> 00:23:58,880
experience and and and being under g and

624
00:24:03,029 --> 00:24:00,159
in a dynamic

625
00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:03,039
uh environment can can get you some

626
00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:06,080
context but launching and entry are such

627
00:24:09,750 --> 00:24:07,760
unique experiences

628
00:24:11,350 --> 00:24:09,760
and then to couple that with living in

629
00:24:14,630 --> 00:24:11,360
microgravity and experiencing

630
00:24:16,230 --> 00:24:14,640
weightlessness for 167 days and then

631
00:24:18,470 --> 00:24:16,240
being subject to you know four and a

632
00:24:21,029 --> 00:24:18,480
half g's for over a minute i mean that

633
00:24:22,310 --> 00:24:21,039
is just a it's a it's it's dynamic it

634
00:24:24,390 --> 00:24:22,320
will definitely get your attention there

635
00:24:26,310 --> 00:24:24,400
was a point where i was just saying to

636
00:24:28,710 --> 00:24:26,320
myself breathe

637
00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:28,720
inhale you know because i felt really

638
00:24:32,710 --> 00:24:30,880
heavy i felt like those cartoons when

639
00:24:35,669 --> 00:24:32,720
they experience g in your face is just

640
00:24:37,269 --> 00:24:35,679
sagging down um but it was it was very

641
00:24:38,470 --> 00:24:37,279
dynamic but at the same time we had

642
00:24:40,789 --> 00:24:38,480
things to do we were monitoring

643
00:24:42,149 --> 00:24:40,799
altitudes and speeds and g loading and

644
00:24:43,350 --> 00:24:42,159
you know so that we could stay on

645
00:24:44,789 --> 00:24:43,360
schedule knowing when the seats were

646
00:24:46,710 --> 00:24:44,799
going to rotate when the shoots would

647
00:24:47,990 --> 00:24:46,720
come out and i think we were able to do

648
00:24:50,390 --> 00:24:48,000
all of those things successfully we

649
00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:50,400
stayed ahead of the spacecraft uh going

650
00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:52,320
way back to dm2 bob and doug gave us a

651
00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:55,520
lot of uh gouge about what that

652
00:24:58,549 --> 00:24:56,640
event was going to be like and that it

653
00:25:00,390 --> 00:24:58,559
would come very quickly and i think we

654
00:25:01,990 --> 00:25:00,400
expected it to come fast and so we were

655
00:25:03,830 --> 00:25:02,000
ready and and that's what i would say

656
00:25:06,070 --> 00:25:03,840
about the whole thing was i i expected

657
00:25:07,750 --> 00:25:06,080
it to be so dynamic and so challenging

658
00:25:09,190 --> 00:25:07,760
that the actual event i think was a

659
00:25:11,990 --> 00:25:09,200
little less than what i was expecting

660
00:25:14,310 --> 00:25:12,000
and so uh it was enjoyable all around

661
00:25:16,070 --> 00:25:14,320
but um yeah the high g loads it's a good

662
00:25:17,190 --> 00:25:16,080
thing the g is going sort of into your

663
00:25:20,549 --> 00:25:17,200
chest

664
00:25:21,909 --> 00:25:20,559
opposed to head to toe which is what you

665
00:25:23,590 --> 00:25:21,919
would experience in a fighter aircraft

666
00:25:25,110 --> 00:25:23,600
and that makes it hard to stay conscious

667
00:25:27,029 --> 00:25:25,120
so going into your chest makes it a

668
00:25:28,470 --> 00:25:27,039
little easier to you know keep

669
00:25:29,350 --> 00:25:28,480
situational awareness

670
00:25:31,669 --> 00:25:29,360
but

671
00:25:35,269 --> 00:25:31,679
it makes it hard to breathe so focus on

672
00:25:38,710 --> 00:25:36,549
interesting

673
00:25:40,149 --> 00:25:38,720
um if you are media on the phone and you

674
00:25:42,310 --> 00:25:40,159
have not had a chance to ask your

675
00:25:43,669 --> 00:25:42,320
question yet please press star one to

676
00:25:45,350 --> 00:25:43,679
ask a question

677
00:25:48,230 --> 00:25:45,360
we'll take another question from celyn

678
00:25:50,710 --> 00:25:48,240
barber with low profile

679
00:25:52,549 --> 00:25:50,720
wonderful so piggybacking off of bill's

680
00:25:54,870 --> 00:25:52,559
question you're talking about physical

681
00:25:56,230 --> 00:25:54,880
experiences let's transition a little

682
00:25:59,029 --> 00:25:56,240
bit more to the psychological and

683
00:26:00,630 --> 00:25:59,039
philosophical experiences

684
00:26:04,149 --> 00:26:00,640
can any of you

685
00:26:06,950 --> 00:26:04,159
choose to describe an awe inspiring

686
00:26:08,870 --> 00:26:07,830
wow

687
00:26:10,870 --> 00:26:08,880
yes i

688
00:26:12,310 --> 00:26:10,880
i'd be happy to um

689
00:26:14,070 --> 00:26:12,320
so

690
00:26:16,070 --> 00:26:14,080
you know i i was

691
00:26:17,350 --> 00:26:16,080
i was very fortunate in this in the

692
00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:17,360
sense that i

693
00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:19,840
i stayed in resilience uh the whole time

694
00:26:22,230 --> 00:26:21,120
so that was my crew quarters while we

695
00:26:24,710 --> 00:26:22,240
were up there

696
00:26:25,909 --> 00:26:24,720
and and the advantage of that was i had

697
00:26:29,110 --> 00:26:25,919
windows

698
00:26:30,070 --> 00:26:29,120
and uh and wow to to be able to

699
00:26:31,909 --> 00:26:30,080
um

700
00:26:33,269 --> 00:26:31,919
live in a crew quarters where

701
00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:33,279
just when you're sitting there and

702
00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:34,960
you're getting up in the morning you you

703
00:26:38,549 --> 00:26:36,480
get to look out the window and see the

704
00:26:41,190 --> 00:26:38,559
earth going by is is pretty incredible

705
00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:41,200
but that's not that that ah moment uh

706
00:26:45,590 --> 00:26:42,960
the ah moment happened

707
00:26:46,789 --> 00:26:45,600
uh after we had done port relocation and

708
00:26:49,269 --> 00:26:46,799
uh

709
00:26:51,190 --> 00:26:49,279
and we had had to shut down all of the

710
00:26:53,430 --> 00:26:51,200
the power and the lights in the vehicle

711
00:26:55,190 --> 00:26:53,440
because we were doing some some work in

712
00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:55,200
the node 2 which is where we were docked

713
00:26:56,870 --> 00:26:56,080
to

714
00:26:58,390 --> 00:26:56,880
um

715
00:27:00,549 --> 00:26:58,400
and so all of that had been shut down

716
00:27:02,630 --> 00:27:00,559
and so i and the work was done and i had

717
00:27:05,029 --> 00:27:02,640
floated back into resilience to power

718
00:27:07,190 --> 00:27:05,039
things back up and turn on my computer

719
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:07,200
but it was during a night pass

720
00:27:11,350 --> 00:27:08,720
and of course the window's right there

721
00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:11,360
so i glanced out the window and oh my

722
00:27:16,230 --> 00:27:12,640
gosh

723
00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:16,240
it it just took my breath away because

724
00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:18,240
right there in front of my face is the

725
00:27:23,029 --> 00:27:20,720
milky way and you're just seeing all

726
00:27:25,590 --> 00:27:23,039
these amazing stars

727
00:27:27,669 --> 00:27:25,600
and you can see the earth just kind of

728
00:27:29,909 --> 00:27:27,679
glowing in the background and and you

729
00:27:31,990 --> 00:27:29,919
can see the atmosphere just this thin

730
00:27:35,110 --> 00:27:32,000
layer of the atmosphere kind of glowing

731
00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:35,120
in the background as well uh and and

732
00:27:38,870 --> 00:27:36,640
there's no light pollution or anything

733
00:27:41,110 --> 00:27:38,880
you you are just it was amazing

734
00:27:44,710 --> 00:27:41,120
unbelievable and then fortunately after

735
00:27:46,630 --> 00:27:44,720
that uh the master uh suici came in and

736
00:27:47,990 --> 00:27:46,640
because i i immediately or shortly

737
00:27:49,909 --> 00:27:48,000
thereafter come floating out i'm like

738
00:27:52,149 --> 00:27:49,919
you guys got to come see this

739
00:27:54,389 --> 00:27:52,159
and uh suichi came in with his camera

740
00:27:55,750 --> 00:27:54,399
and uh hopefully if you haven't seen uh

741
00:27:58,149 --> 00:27:55,760
some of the pictures and particularly

742
00:28:00,230 --> 00:27:58,159
the time lapse that he took uh from

743
00:28:03,909 --> 00:28:00,240
looking out resilience at the night sky

744
00:28:05,510 --> 00:28:03,919
uh it's that's definitely worth a look

745
00:28:07,430 --> 00:28:05,520
all right thank you

746
00:28:09,430 --> 00:28:07,440
now i'll switch over to a few questions

747
00:28:12,310 --> 00:28:09,440
that have come in on social media

748
00:28:17,190 --> 00:28:12,320
michelle's fourth grade class is asking

749
00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:20,310
yes yes yes absolutely they uh we have

750
00:28:24,789 --> 00:28:22,480
people on the ground that can send up

751
00:28:25,830 --> 00:28:24,799
a tv channel to us and we get to choose

752
00:28:27,430 --> 00:28:25,840
what uh

753
00:28:28,789 --> 00:28:27,440
what we get to watch and when we want to

754
00:28:31,430 --> 00:28:28,799
watch it and if we've got the right

755
00:28:33,750 --> 00:28:31,440
satellite uh hookups then we can watch

756
00:28:36,070 --> 00:28:33,760
we can watch tv so we'll watch do we

757
00:28:38,070 --> 00:28:36,080
watch watch some sports we don't watch a

758
00:28:40,149 --> 00:28:38,080
lot of sports

759
00:28:41,669 --> 00:28:40,159
we did watch super bowl here

760
00:28:44,630 --> 00:28:41,679
all right thanks

761
00:28:46,310 --> 00:28:44,640
liam on twitter wants to ask suici did

762
00:28:48,149 --> 00:28:46,320
you notice any difference between

763
00:28:50,310 --> 00:28:48,159
dragon's re-entry compared to the

764
00:28:52,070 --> 00:28:50,320
shuttle and the soyuz which did you find

765
00:28:54,389 --> 00:28:52,080
the most enjoyable

766
00:28:56,149 --> 00:28:54,399
well shadow soyuz dragon it's a good

767
00:28:59,190 --> 00:28:56,159
question it's hard to compare of course

768
00:29:01,909 --> 00:28:59,200
for the impact wise uh the shuttle is

769
00:29:04,789 --> 00:29:01,919
hard to beat my case is colonel irene

770
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:04,799
collins kiss landing and it's very soft

771
00:29:08,389 --> 00:29:06,880
but the people tend to forget that after

772
00:29:11,350 --> 00:29:08,399
the main wheel touchdown we have a

773
00:29:13,669 --> 00:29:11,360
pretty slamming motion of the nose wheel

774
00:29:14,789 --> 00:29:13,679
down so uh that's actually uh not

775
00:29:16,789 --> 00:29:14,799
trivial

776
00:29:19,990 --> 00:29:16,799
soyuz of course it's like a crash into

777
00:29:24,789 --> 00:29:20,000
the ground for this one i would say it's

778
00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:24,799
very benign and almost a touchdown so uh

779
00:29:31,110 --> 00:29:27,760
i really like it and uh impact was very

780
00:29:33,830 --> 00:29:31,120
very minimal and right after uh

781
00:29:35,590 --> 00:29:33,840
splashdown we feel the wave motion that

782
00:29:38,630 --> 00:29:35,600
is yeah we are come back to earth yeah

783
00:29:41,029 --> 00:29:38,640
the water planet and since exactly as

784
00:29:43,110 --> 00:29:41,039
forecasted like a five-second appearance

785
00:29:45,430 --> 00:29:43,120
and i feel it so that's a great feeling

786
00:29:48,149 --> 00:29:45,440
which we don't have for the 167 days

787
00:29:52,070 --> 00:29:48,159
yeah yeah right thank you

788
00:29:53,190 --> 00:29:52,080
okay we have a question um from joseph

789
00:29:55,269 --> 00:29:53,200
on twitter

790
00:29:57,990 --> 00:29:55,279
how different is it to adapt to a new

791
00:30:01,430 --> 00:29:58,000
schedule of sleeping routines it must be

792
00:30:03,590 --> 00:30:01,440
weird to have eight sunrises per day

793
00:30:05,029 --> 00:30:03,600
we actually get 16 sunrises a day

794
00:30:07,110 --> 00:30:05,039
because we go around the earth once

795
00:30:09,190 --> 00:30:07,120
every 90 minutes

796
00:30:10,950 --> 00:30:09,200
unless you're the lucky one that gets

797
00:30:12,389 --> 00:30:10,960
the windows all the time a lot of times

798
00:30:14,470 --> 00:30:12,399
you don't notice all the sunrises and

799
00:30:16,149 --> 00:30:14,480
sunsets because we're working inside

800
00:30:18,789 --> 00:30:16,159
modules that don't always have windows

801
00:30:20,389 --> 00:30:18,799
that are open so it's uh

802
00:30:22,549 --> 00:30:20,399
we're on a schedule we're on greenwich

803
00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:22,559
meantime we sleep according to that time

804
00:30:27,269 --> 00:30:23,760
now that we're back here we're sleeping

805
00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:30,070
all right kelsea age 8 on twitter wants

806
00:30:35,170 --> 00:30:32,640
to know what was it like unbuckling for

807
00:30:38,230 --> 00:30:35,180
the first time in microgravity

808
00:30:40,470 --> 00:30:38,240
[Music]

809
00:30:42,870 --> 00:30:40,480
great question and um

810
00:30:44,389 --> 00:30:42,880
it was it was it's really challenging to

811
00:30:46,470 --> 00:30:44,399
describe you know we talk about this

812
00:30:48,070 --> 00:30:46,480
sensation of floating but it's not like

813
00:30:49,750 --> 00:30:48,080
floating in a swimming pool because you

814
00:30:51,510 --> 00:30:49,760
don't have even when you're in a pool

815
00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:51,520
you have gravity so if you flip upside

816
00:30:54,950 --> 00:30:53,360
down you're still aware that you're

817
00:30:57,190 --> 00:30:54,960
upside down and you can see the bubbles

818
00:30:59,029 --> 00:30:57,200
going toward your feet and whatnot but i

819
00:31:00,789 --> 00:30:59,039
i've started saying this it's actually

820
00:31:02,470 --> 00:31:00,799
it's like living your dreams about

821
00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:02,480
flying you know being able to actually

822
00:31:06,630 --> 00:31:04,240
be in those moments where you can push

823
00:31:09,669 --> 00:31:06,640
off and just coast down the the

824
00:31:11,190 --> 00:31:09,679
the space and so my first moment that i

825
00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:11,200
remember significantly was getting out

826
00:31:14,870 --> 00:31:12,720
of the seat to then go look out the

827
00:31:16,710 --> 00:31:14,880
window and i recorded a short video on

828
00:31:19,110 --> 00:31:16,720
my tablet and i just

829
00:31:21,509 --> 00:31:19,120
the the whole experience was just

830
00:31:23,669 --> 00:31:21,519
awe-inspiring it was so amazing to be

831
00:31:25,269 --> 00:31:23,679
floating and to see upright in the

832
00:31:27,269 --> 00:31:25,279
vehicle and then look out and see the

833
00:31:28,789 --> 00:31:27,279
earth in a whole different orientation

834
00:31:30,710 --> 00:31:28,799
and then to look back in and see my

835
00:31:32,950 --> 00:31:30,720
crewmates and the vehicle in order to it

836
00:31:34,470 --> 00:31:32,960
was just my brain was like what have you

837
00:31:37,590 --> 00:31:34,480
done where are we

838
00:31:39,549 --> 00:31:37,600
and um it was an amazing experience and

839
00:31:44,789 --> 00:31:39,559
and it did not get old for

840
00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:44,799
167 days it was amazing to float and and

841
00:31:48,310 --> 00:31:46,480
you know mark showed up and we started

842
00:31:50,789 --> 00:31:48,320
doing upside down day and to you know

843
00:31:53,190 --> 00:31:50,799
use the ceiling as the floor and and it

844
00:31:55,029 --> 00:31:53,200
just never got old and uh i do miss that

845
00:31:57,990 --> 00:31:55,039
i do miss it almost as much as i miss

846
00:31:58,950 --> 00:31:58,000
sunrise and sunset

847
00:32:01,029 --> 00:31:58,960
awesome

848
00:32:02,710 --> 00:32:01,039
all right um from twitter we have a

849
00:32:05,190 --> 00:32:02,720
question about the experiments that you

850
00:32:06,950 --> 00:32:05,200
conducted or tested in space on space

851
00:32:08,389 --> 00:32:06,960
station i know we've talked about this a

852
00:32:09,990 --> 00:32:08,399
little bit already but just from your

853
00:32:11,509 --> 00:32:10,000
perspective actually working with the

854
00:32:15,190 --> 00:32:11,519
experiments can you talk about that a

855
00:32:19,029 --> 00:32:17,350
so you know one one interesting thing i

856
00:32:20,549 --> 00:32:19,039
uh was talking in a conference about one

857
00:32:21,830 --> 00:32:20,559
of our science experiments and i said

858
00:32:23,110 --> 00:32:21,840
something that i i went and wrote it

859
00:32:25,190 --> 00:32:23,120
down later because i think it's an

860
00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:25,200
important perspective so this isn't

861
00:32:28,950 --> 00:32:27,120
about any one experiment in particular

862
00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:28,960
but just you know we we run the gamut

863
00:32:33,590 --> 00:32:31,120
from from sort of being a lab technician

864
00:32:35,990 --> 00:32:33,600
to being a researcher and i think that

865
00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:36,000
aspect of our involvement from being

866
00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:38,080
very heavily involved to sort of i just

867
00:32:41,750 --> 00:32:40,000
moved this fluid from here to here or

868
00:32:43,909 --> 00:32:41,760
move this block from here to here and

869
00:32:45,669 --> 00:32:43,919
being comfortable with that that i can

870
00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:45,679
do something that is easy to you know

871
00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:48,000
redo if i mess this up to this is this

872
00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:50,640
one opportunity to get this data for

873
00:32:54,470 --> 00:32:52,080
this person who has been researching

874
00:32:55,990 --> 00:32:54,480
this idea for a decade or more and i

875
00:32:57,669 --> 00:32:56,000
don't want to mess it up and being

876
00:32:59,909 --> 00:32:57,679
comfortable with that that breadth of

877
00:33:01,509 --> 00:32:59,919
responsibility you may be heavily

878
00:33:03,909 --> 00:33:01,519
involved in the research and you may be

879
00:33:05,750 --> 00:33:03,919
just the lab tech not that that you know

880
00:33:07,669 --> 00:33:05,760
not just as in that's not a significant

881
00:33:09,509 --> 00:33:07,679
job but you have to know those different

882
00:33:11,350 --> 00:33:09,519
responsibilities and be comfortable in

883
00:33:12,630 --> 00:33:11,360
those different roles and that's one of

884
00:33:14,470 --> 00:33:12,640
the aspects i think that really

885
00:33:16,549 --> 00:33:14,480
resonated with me in my in my

886
00:33:18,789 --> 00:33:16,559
involvement in the research is how you

887
00:33:21,110 --> 00:33:18,799
know broad our responsibilities could be

888
00:33:22,710 --> 00:33:21,120
and i'll just add one one other thing to

889
00:33:24,950 --> 00:33:22,720
it and that was you know with with us

890
00:33:27,669 --> 00:33:24,960
coming up uh bringing four

891
00:33:29,669 --> 00:33:27,679
um and so increasing on the usos side we

892
00:33:31,350 --> 00:33:29,679
had five crew members the amount of

893
00:33:33,509 --> 00:33:31,360
flexibility that gave us in terms of

894
00:33:34,710 --> 00:33:33,519
executing the science it allowed us to

895
00:33:36,310 --> 00:33:34,720
you know like there were multiple times

896
00:33:38,310 --> 00:33:36,320
where shannon and i would be working on

897
00:33:39,750 --> 00:33:38,320
the same experiments doing some of those

898
00:33:42,310 --> 00:33:39,760
different roles that victor was just

899
00:33:43,669 --> 00:33:42,320
talking about on the same day where one

900
00:33:45,830 --> 00:33:43,679
of us would do one part of it and then

901
00:33:47,509 --> 00:33:45,840
the next part of it uh you know we'd be

902
00:33:49,750 --> 00:33:47,519
looking through a microscope and seeing

903
00:33:51,430 --> 00:33:49,760
uh seeing the results of it and it was

904
00:33:53,269 --> 00:33:51,440
kind of fun because

905
00:33:55,909 --> 00:33:53,279
you know then you kind of you had an

906
00:33:57,750 --> 00:33:55,919
idea of what they were seeing and you

907
00:33:59,110 --> 00:33:57,760
could share in the excitement of it you

908
00:34:01,750 --> 00:33:59,120
could share that excitement with the

909
00:34:03,509 --> 00:34:01,760
investigators on the ground so um it is

910
00:34:05,110 --> 00:34:03,519
pretty impressive with the additional

911
00:34:07,110 --> 00:34:05,120
crew members on board how much science

912
00:34:09,190 --> 00:34:07,120
we were able to to do

913
00:34:11,589 --> 00:34:09,200
one thing i can quickly add about

914
00:34:13,030 --> 00:34:11,599
science is the science does not stop on

915
00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:13,040
the space station it actually actually

916
00:34:17,510 --> 00:34:15,440
grows on the ground side

917
00:34:20,550 --> 00:34:17,520
one of the experiment i did is growing

918
00:34:23,430 --> 00:34:20,560
the basil and again the plant

919
00:34:25,829 --> 00:34:23,440
dealing with the plant is fun that is 12

920
00:34:27,669 --> 00:34:25,839
asian pacific countries joint countries

921
00:34:29,990 --> 00:34:27,679
and regions joined together and the

922
00:34:32,310 --> 00:34:30,000
students participate on the ground side

923
00:34:34,310 --> 00:34:32,320
to do the same kind of experiments so we

924
00:34:36,310 --> 00:34:34,320

925
00:34:38,230 --> 00:34:36,320

926
00:34:40,790 --> 00:34:38,240
ground the students does the main

adventures

930
00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:46,480
thank you

931
00:34:50,230 --> 00:34:48,240
okay we have a question from nicholas on

932
00:34:52,389 --> 00:34:50,240
twitter what types of foods do you eat

933
00:34:54,550 --> 00:34:52,399
in space

934
00:34:56,389 --> 00:34:54,560
all of them necklaces all of them if

935
00:34:58,710 --> 00:34:56,399
they're there they get eaten you know we

936
00:35:00,069 --> 00:34:58,720
so we have a standard menu uh that you

937
00:35:01,430 --> 00:35:00,079
know make sure that you get the

938
00:35:03,190 --> 00:35:01,440
appropriate nutrients that you need

939
00:35:05,750 --> 00:35:03,200
there's plenty of calories we have a

940
00:35:08,550 --> 00:35:05,760
variety of drinks and but we also are

941
00:35:11,030 --> 00:35:08,560
allowed to fly up foods that we request

942
00:35:13,349 --> 00:35:11,040
um and and you know we bonus food or

943
00:35:14,870 --> 00:35:13,359
crew preference food and that can vary

944
00:35:16,390 --> 00:35:14,880
as long as it needs certain you know

945
00:35:19,270 --> 00:35:16,400
packaging requirements and has the

946
00:35:22,069 --> 00:35:19,280
appropriate shelf life we get quite good

947
00:35:24,390 --> 00:35:22,079
food up there and so i think uh i speak

948
00:35:26,069 --> 00:35:24,400
for us all there was a very popular dish

949
00:35:28,470 --> 00:35:26,079
and hopper was smart enough to fly

950
00:35:30,550 --> 00:35:28,480
refried beans and refried beans were

951
00:35:32,390 --> 00:35:30,560
popular for two reasons they were great

952
00:35:34,390 --> 00:35:32,400
they were delicious but they're also

953
00:35:36,069 --> 00:35:34,400
good at sticking other foods together so

954
00:35:37,589 --> 00:35:36,079
they were a very popular side dish

955
00:35:40,390 --> 00:35:37,599
whenever hopper would break out the

956
00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:40,400
refried beans i would also add that's

957
00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:41,920
one of the best parts about being on the

958
00:35:44,790 --> 00:35:43,200
international space station is

959
00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:44,800
international food so not just the

960
00:35:49,190 --> 00:35:46,880
refried beans but we had lots of yummy

961
00:35:51,829 --> 00:35:49,200
japanese food that soichi brought we had

962
00:35:53,829 --> 00:35:51,839
american food we had food from europe

963
00:35:56,150 --> 00:35:53,839
and then the russian food so lots of

964
00:35:57,589 --> 00:35:56,160
choices which is really nice

965
00:36:00,150 --> 00:35:57,599
that's great thanks for that great

966
00:36:02,950 --> 00:36:00,160
question nicholas glad we asked

967
00:36:04,870 --> 00:36:02,960
um okay what about this one from twitter

968
00:36:07,270 --> 00:36:04,880
which is more challenging to adjust

969
00:36:13,910 --> 00:36:07,280
yourself physically the first few days

970
00:36:17,190 --> 00:36:15,349
yes

971
00:36:19,829 --> 00:36:17,200
at least for me i've got to say coming

972
00:36:22,870 --> 00:36:19,839
back to earth is uh is definitely

973
00:36:23,910 --> 00:36:22,880
um more challenging and

974
00:36:25,990 --> 00:36:23,920
you know it's interesting because when

975
00:36:27,670 --> 00:36:26,000
we arrive in space we got to the space

976
00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:27,680
station i mean boom

977
00:36:32,310 --> 00:36:30,240
we're working and it's a full day

978
00:36:33,349 --> 00:36:32,320
and there is no way i could have done a

979
00:36:35,109 --> 00:36:33,359
full day

980
00:36:36,790 --> 00:36:35,119
the first day coming back

981
00:36:38,150 --> 00:36:36,800
down down to earth

982
00:36:39,910 --> 00:36:38,160
and i think there's a couple of things

983
00:36:41,430 --> 00:36:39,920
that that contribute to that you know

984
00:36:42,630 --> 00:36:41,440
first of all when you you know you're in

985
00:36:45,109 --> 00:36:42,640
this new environment when you get up

986
00:36:47,030 --> 00:36:45,119
into space you're floating um you're

987
00:36:48,550 --> 00:36:47,040
seeing the earth and you're pretty fired

988
00:36:50,630 --> 00:36:48,560
up i mean you're very excited to be

989
00:36:53,109 --> 00:36:50,640
there and and so there's that that

990
00:36:54,710 --> 00:36:53,119
certain um you know just

991
00:36:56,470 --> 00:36:54,720
adrenaline that's yeah that's a good way

992
00:36:57,910 --> 00:36:56,480
to describe the drilling that's blowing

993
00:37:00,550 --> 00:36:57,920
when you get back

994
00:37:02,150 --> 00:37:00,560
it's at the end of six months and and so

995
00:37:04,790 --> 00:37:02,160
there is a certain amount of exhaustion

996
00:37:08,310 --> 00:37:04,800
that builds up over a six-month mission

997
00:37:09,990 --> 00:37:08,320
where you are on duty the whole time and

998
00:37:11,430 --> 00:37:10,000
and so when you finally splash down

999
00:37:13,190 --> 00:37:11,440
there's a there's definitely a little

1000
00:37:14,630 --> 00:37:13,200
bit shannon just did it that sense of

1001
00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:14,640
that you know that's just relaxation

1002
00:37:17,910 --> 00:37:16,160
that relief that

1003
00:37:19,510 --> 00:37:17,920
that that the mission uh that you've

1004
00:37:21,190 --> 00:37:19,520
done your job and the mission has done

1005
00:37:23,349 --> 00:37:21,200
and and you can kind of relax a little

1006
00:37:25,270 --> 00:37:23,359
bit and i think that contributes to it

1007
00:37:27,030 --> 00:37:25,280
but then there's also i believe a lot of

1008
00:37:29,030 --> 00:37:27,040
physiological effects

1009
00:37:30,550 --> 00:37:29,040
you're feeling heavy

1010
00:37:32,310 --> 00:37:30,560
you're feeling wobbly

1011
00:37:34,069 --> 00:37:32,320
very very wobbly as well and so you're

1012
00:37:35,030 --> 00:37:34,079
having to deal with all of those those

1013
00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:35,040
issues

1014
00:37:38,470 --> 00:37:36,640
including the fact that hey this is at

1015
00:37:40,710 --> 00:37:38,480
the end of the six months as opposed to

1016
00:37:42,150 --> 00:37:40,720
at the beginning

1017
00:37:44,550 --> 00:37:42,160
all right thank you

1018
00:37:46,950 --> 00:37:44,560
um we'll wrap up with a final question

1019
00:37:48,790 --> 00:37:46,960
here maybe it's too soon to ask but joe

1020
00:37:50,740 --> 00:37:48,800
on twitter wants to know who's ready to

1021
00:37:56,710 --> 00:37:50,750
go again

1022
00:37:59,030 --> 00:37:56,720
[Laughter]

1023
00:38:01,270 --> 00:37:59,040
i'm gonna enjoy earth you know there was

1024
00:38:03,190 --> 00:38:01,280
a there's a letter up there on on the

1025
00:38:04,870 --> 00:38:03,200
hatch to the airlock

1026
00:38:07,589 --> 00:38:04,880
written by one of our colleagues that

1027
00:38:09,270 --> 00:38:07,599
that passed away uh in the columbia

1028
00:38:10,950 --> 00:38:09,280
accident unfortunately but one of the

1029
00:38:13,510 --> 00:38:10,960
last sentences he says if i had been

1030
00:38:15,349 --> 00:38:13,520
born in in space i would long to go to

1031
00:38:17,349 --> 00:38:15,359
earth much more than i longed to go to

1032
00:38:19,109 --> 00:38:17,359
space and i that i i thought about that

1033
00:38:20,310 --> 00:38:19,119
every day and i'm very happy to be here

1034
00:38:21,670 --> 00:38:20,320
on terra firma and i'm going to enjoy

1035
00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:21,680
this for a while

1036
00:38:25,430 --> 00:38:23,680
all right we'll take that

1037
00:38:26,950 --> 00:38:25,440
but we'll deal with that later

1038
00:38:28,390 --> 00:38:26,960
we'll ask you again later but three out
