the, the name is the calls back said wow, thank you so much for joining and welcome to don't hold a bad a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. next, would it be nosy bay? like good everyone to king. check out the award winning called com. so hold back via it's as astronaut, it's on this spaceship called or we can only overcome challenge just by working

with each other rather than fighting from that way. this was the start of a new era ever months. what are the modules were made with russia us and you're on an old man and a comfortable it was a new world come, but we could work towards a common goal. this is a promising moment to the world had come together. russia strategic nuclear missiles soon will no longer be pointed at the united states, nor will we point hours at them by the only thing i'm given the current geo political situation. it's hard to imagine and such a huge project coming together again, we're looking at some, some of the cost of building weapons in space. russian scientists will help us to build the international space station e cause them for her. while we were preparing at the johnson space center, there was a post are saying 300 days till the 1st module long. she took up the bend was $200.00 days. so the module on shreekstail, i remember how it still seems like

a long time away because it was like 25 years of combined with what that went by really quickly. this was the most valuable machine human kind is ever built. and also the most unlikely one we've ever built. the indian home thought a new era in the space travel today. a russian rocket launch the 1st module of the plant international space station homesteads, one inside and on the launch. it was november 20th of 1998 the entire crew over to my house for

a watch party. and so we headed on tv and we were watching uh is pro time rocket live, sorry. it took 4 of it in it successfully made it to orbit and we knew that now we were going to have a mission. we were going to launch 2 weeks later. so it was a great joy in my family room that evening. as we all watched aria launch, it was uh, quite an event. we had a great time, the

3 to one. we have a booster ignition and lift off of the space shuttle endeavor with the 1st american element of international. then when it came time to actually entered the space station for the 1st time as we opened the hatch and got it open, i said sir, a come here. and i pulled him up alongside me and the whole crew went inside. but if you look at how we entered sir again, i entered through the hatch side by side. i felt that really important if we're going to have an international space station we have to enter is an international across. so it's to, it's a trick question i asked people i always say, who is the 1st person enter the space station and there was no 1st person i had the

privilege of being the 1st american. and sir gave us the 1st russian. but we entered side by side, you see the solution with that because of the for opening the hatch, we decided was both cabanas pool, the 1st thing and, and who'd be 2nd to meet this when you, when we also talked about why are we which you move move you feel we look at the we entered the 1st module together or no. when we also went into the 2nd side by side for good, we have quite deals with mr. then the whole team came up pretty soon. you'll see the team as coverage began to deal with the later part of the, you know, with the, the started but i did serious it's tradition to keep a lock the amount. but then we just moved and it was only right. so the shuttle commander wrote the 1st entry community of charlottesville, the quick that was, that is for them, it was the start of a pattern that we've been traveling together for 25 years. and i do to with what's better than i. i'd like to think i captured it somewhat in the 1st log entry for the international space patient. if you read that log book and pre in the whole

crew assigned it. but it starts out, you know, from small beginnings, great things come. and again, it talked about our, our future in, in what we expected to working together. and i truly believe that's been the case the we can solve our dreams to distance stars living and working in space for peaceful, economic and scientific game. tonight i am directing nations to develop a permanently man space station, and to do it within a decade, the

vision thomas office back then, we'd also go to the russian just a little. we flew straight to moscow and said, hey, you've got your mir space station. let's do some research there together and they said sure, come join us. and within a few years we had actually managed to carry out several emissions on board mere need on this one, some of the months ago. yeah, hold on for the same many respects. the ninety's was an ideal time to lay the groundwork for these kinds of partnerships. so the soviet union had broken up the idea to create a successor to mir was in the air. and the americans also wanted to build a space station, as all those factors alone were good signs. few these of and thankfully the collaboration came together and

use that soon. at the time the mirror station was the benchmarks design upside. the 1st module had gone into space and in 1986 on. so the experience that the russians had had with the sell you had station and then with me or was extremely valuable when it came to designing the instructing for and operating the international space station within the team. putting all folder and, and that's not an option, not sonya mama says also, russia had always been a proud nation and they were good at space travel. they were experienced this month if they had, they're still use rockets for decades. they built space stations, but they had a lot of experience with a young young ball. then the americans came along and said, we don't have the experience, but we do have the money america. so what happened was that russian experience and the american money were brought together and this was for the benefit of both falling behind another kind investigate that was the situation back then under that side almost just reply to, you know, when i looked at the partnership to the international space station is truly

amazing when you consider in russia the united states, japan, canada, the european space agency in all its partners. we are all working together on this is one, you know, 250, some not equal miles of, of the year with a crew up there every day, continuously working together and so, and that's pretty awesome. isn't granting some what really does. now when i come into a training module like this one, it feels completely different. i think that's on a blick, before i flew to the i ss, this was all on familiar technology. it was confusing, i'm complex a care for me. but ever since i spent a year on the, i assess everything in here feels really familiar. is there something you think differently about the equipment because you've worked with it for a long time? yeah. yeah. good phones, also toys show even with a space station that's like everything you start to have a sort of personal relationship about and that's really from the get go ahead and

it feels a bit like being at home it's and as long as that's on the street the some business on the scene and a couple it was like the most special and we felt as a crew that we were really lucky because it had just been brought up by the crew before us and attached. and all the space walks done to take the covers. ok. so now we were that were able to look down on earth and we didn't have the robotic arm station in there. they, it was like nothing in there. you can just go slow and,

and look at hers and it was amazing and it's, it's really hard to tear astronaut to welcome to the cooper and it's about to get really bright in here. that's the hallmark of the cool below . when you come in from the space station and it's light outside and then suddenly it's dazzling. your eyes have to adjust. without this module, we wouldn't have this one of a kind of unit, 360 degrees around and 180 degrees onto the earth. sublime is no other place on the station. is this incredible? so the, the just minutes before we started this po event, my colleagues here actually they gave me the, on an opening, the group, the shutters, and just, that's an amazing view. it's the view that i was dreaming about. 4 years

old moving surely. earth is so beautiful from above. and so it's different to what you imagine, what it does. it's nice. it's not like when you zoom in on a satellite image where everything always looks the same zoomed and see this other thing we memorize all the space station is moving this to view, the solar panels are moving. this is space ships, doc, it and on. i don't, and we use the robotic arm to grab the guy from this what i wanted to document all of that and share it with the people down below the,

the, the one, the other somersault. oops. now i broken something to speak to the cameras flooding . okay. i got it on the phone. and 1st it took me awhile to control my body and cup . i was constantly bumping into things, are colliding with the other crew again, it was quite funny at 1st. but by now you're expecting to be able to control your own body and not be constantly knocking things off the walls and kind of extend the stylus one in minutes and i put on the

some yes, the 1st time a space walk has been carried out by an old woman team. after 220 previous i assess space walks, nasa has finally completed one using only female astronaut use as back in march. and now christina kotch and jessica meyer had their space was cancelled at short notice. because they had nothing to where he dumb mix of sophistication, robotic or i think that it is actually important to talk about it as women. we also celebrated that space walk. it meant a lot, especially because the suits weren't designed for women in mind and was designed for a medium to extra large male bodies which also left out you know, smaller male astronauts as well. not just women station. this is president donald trump. do you hear me the,

i just want to congratulate you. what you do is incredible it. so you're very brave people. i don't think i want to do it. i must tell you that a but you are amazing people. they're conducting the 1st ever female space. walk to replace the exterior part of the space station. so i think it was really good that we pointed it out and then we're changing the new space so that they do take into account diverse bodies sizes. and they will be more inclusive for the people that will go flying the stuff to the town on the i was allowed to mix the concrete space to it's concrete

release is more c, o 2 around the world and then the entire aerospace industry. so if we can examine this traditional material under very specific conditions and space in the end, put our results into a computer model with us who and then we can optimize concrete to them and hopefully make a major contribution to combat in climate change, right? it's about getting them clean, move on to buy, to uninstall space into off the data. when science is wanted to build satellites. the i assess was always seen as a huge thing that costs too much the thoughts offers. but if you look at it, sides of the research that's being done there, and the international community that is coming together around it all the and it's really historic house in terms of space exploration is one of humanity's greatest achievement is either good or as an at fault better than mine in china, and that on portion the

the, the scene out that has this video has a serious story behind it. when i with commander, how willing to take around the is come on the spy at home to i guess as crew members have survived the board launch of their russian carrier rocket. landing unharmed didn't cause ex, done by the they're still use the capsule had to make an emergency landing after a major propulsion failure, northland us. astronaut nick, hague, and russian cosmonaut alexi of t mean had been due to join the crew of the international space station onto i lied to him for alex on that guess flushed out new york. not if you ever come. i understood that i was now commanding a crew of 3 on the space station. ones is printed and i realized our mission might take a lot longer than we anticipated the slides or falls, cuz they're not in the trip. i said to my crew, because they're going to ask us how long we can stay up here and con,

setting that i mean, i asked them if they were ready and how long they were prepared to stay the number to do black. on their answer was item as long as it takes to protect this valuable station that for the he could for fits. dogger guthrie says, who done this month. it was part of my task to keep the crew spirits up a mid that uncertainty by knowing that this one too much, but maintaining motivation and a sense of togetherness. sorry, so that nobody got frustrated. and of course that's what i'll call you. as i said, the last one, i dropped the darth vader costume because i just had a feeling it might come in handy. though i didn't know how it turned out to be perfect in deify products and my 2 colleagues were really creative. i'm leaving the sergey worked out a really good elvis costume they gave uh it was, i still laugh when i think about it with us on the honey because when they went to read and serena was the 90 professor when we had a lot of fun spot the

this, the i would expect it was by far the status day of my 6 months in space. and when you were up there it could. you can see signs of life during the day independence, but at night to life on earth is wonderfully illuminated by all the city lights and got back on february 24th. and we were flying over europe with everything brightly lit. talk a little bit on this one, but the suddenly we came to a dark spot right in the middle of the year when the flight was so striking, for at least as has been said, really hit us hard to something that happened in that country. indeed, the whole country had gone dark. that's not what's only the capital keys still visible helps that the key of everything else was blocked out. so as not to reveal

targets for the russian air strikes the beaten native trigger. we knew it was something we had to talk about. okay, that's because up there were a little family violence isn't dead within that family at once and do so. if we can only work together efficiently and face the dangers and emergencies that come our way. that's one resolve if we're all pulling together to kind of know my sending the i'm just one thing and then obviously, you know, at some point i grabbed anton from defend his commander rolanda then also appealed to her in his russian colleague stuff. and that was, but i wasn't able to start an in depth discussion to people that this, it was immediately clear that people had been given completely different information, contact info, my thoughts, the argument was being made and that they had to fight terrorists in the country. i've been listening to the listening to come, well that's how it was on the $24.00 as the restaurant in pennsylvania in the days that followed. it was relative, eyes to my my, to the tv of the

screen. also in addition to the, there was some discussion in western media and the 9 cosmonaut were sending a pro ukraine message for me. people here, i think i can correct that here. and now condition i the for those suits, had been chosen and ordered a year before the launch. one for the color was pure coincidence. i see these are 5 years later i saw all like flying through the station wearing a jacket. and like i said, aren't you to warm with that jacket on him at that? yeah. could you beat around the bush for a bit? and then he said, we only have yellow sweaters and we're not allowed to wear yellow anymore. kevin police, my part is from ground control advisory board or and i gave him my blue sweater on so that he wouldn't have to go around the station wearing his jacket if that's the only thing was to if i didn't some to one and whatnot. another thing that happened was that question, credit cards with blocks from western services because of the sanctions. and i know that included the music streaming service spot of finance or like one of several we

were able to use the sheet that they've opened notes. and so all of a sudden my russian colleagues had no music going on, and we think that that has an impact on the cruise wellbeing now. so we let them use our log and once they hit the thing which isn't entirely legal, i'm all because act yeah, and that's fine. but it was really important that they could listen to music and relax up there. yeah, just like we could even come to open on that. that's yeah. or you can also respond country via the this is us. couldn't the quote, but there were many reasons the i assess came into being the most important was cooperation void. there's still a huge demand for experiments and technologies from and experimenting on to here looking. we're doing more experiments on board the i ss than ever before. has me

a experiment as he needs before. and we have more researchers than ever applying to carry out experiments with us, despite all that, the fact is, there isn't going to be a successor to the i ss as we know it today. and it's making that we've been able to use the international space station to test out the capabilities that will be needing to go with the parental space. so the international space station has been use not just for technology pro, uh, in terms of of facilities capabilities. but also for humans as setting how the human operates in space as well. and so with the things that we have learned that will allow us to us to be able to know that we have the right systems going forward to the moon. and we're learning what we need to go to ours. yeah. offsets on the sean because the space station is the massive entity instructor who gets well suited to large scale scientific experiments. so now you can do all sorts of things

with it. didn't come out on this, but for commercial purposes, it's just too big and expensive to play, maintaining it costs far too much. that's why private companies now want small but sophisticated space stations and noticeable they don't need thousands of square meters of living space. i would flush, you just 2 or 300 would be enough. right. that's why smaller ones are being built. now once you get to the recliner, we've gone out with the. yeah. yeah. contracts to help develop a commercial space station space. we're flying private as not missions to the international space station. and we need that time to transition from a u. s. involvement in this huge international space station to smaller commercial destinations and space where the us is one of many customers, not primarily responsible. so we can focus on that job of exploring the on planet

or the sort taishan ish bringing it down will be much more technically challenging than ending the operation of the mirror station that's on the yes. as the i ss has a mass of around 420 tons. good. so i'm going to send as things stand today, it won't be dismantled. the parts with each part brought into reentry individually and it's on the whole thing and it's entirely you will have to be brought into a re entry class to be and listen. i need to push and let the typical lives span of a space station is about 30 years. it's like a car after 15 years and it needs more and more repairs. and you start to think about getting something out just obviously it's by the yet. see, and that's what i think. what happened with the current space station. this has repairs go up to companies won't be as interested, and they'll let their space stations burn up in the atmosphere. that must be the

most uh, boot up with us. we didn't from mir and but we have experience and had to bring a space station out of orbit. it'd be the something meter e which was good. it's no easy task. technically speaking to play football, he was more than the sample do because i'm a will end up helping my colleagues to make the necessary decisions. and to deal with unexpected situations. i guess the arise, the company, or we can, stephanie's had thoughts, has been able to. but i hope this isn't going to happen in the near future. our new show, even though the station has already been an orbit longer than planned to him, but was on the escape truck. ok. this to nasa is already figuring out concrete scenarios for doing at the, from late model, the process and they know what would happen if the space station had to come down tomorrow, get all the americans would know exactly how to do it. and it can also be if it needs to be t orbited, it will probably also be one of those types of like experiments or like, safely done where, you know, it's done in a way that we learn from it gets dana, this one. and there are plans to build a vehicle,

send it up and have it push the i ss out of its orbit. i'm cheap, else i'll do a bond cheap. i'm done. then they'd let it burn up over a specific location waters which are probably the south pacific, which is also where me are, came down. the one thing on this, most of it would burn up and a few metal parts with crash into the sea. metallic them into done though. that's a complex operation so that you can't just do it to excel, but it needs a great deal of precise planning email. so the space agencies will definitely be involved on them on to the cynthia homes that are going to and have to stop by the problem. and i got a minute to move me. well, be a really sad moment the that's how we felt when the mir station was brought out of orbit to disclose. that'd be the stance they knew. but this will be especially said the other more because the i ss wasn't just a place where we weren't in the, to the most sense to. it was also a place where we really live to me assembly. i moved to north the midst of cut them with as really is really an opportunity. give me a give me. so i go outside and i see the space station go on overhead. and 1st i

think about my friends that are on board. and i wonder what they're doing, how they're doing, got the moment and why not. uh, yeah, there were times during my mission when the 3 of us on the space station realized that at that exact moment, there were 7000000000 people on our home planet. and with an iphone and just 3 members of our species outside of it. and that's what you felt like a sheep separated from the, her office from the attic. it's kind of would've done mostly kind of like it in some and you had to smile because it was such a crazy situation. a and such a privilege that someone as, as a customer to be the, the i s s means to me, cooperation and experts know only it was most of the teachers stations may well be smaller and built differently than what we might achieve. other unique things like going to mars literacy boot missions we're, all of commodity comes together to achieve something even more ambitious than the i ss of them. yeah. and because it doesn't let us with it, we all know that we can only solve the world's major challenges by working together

. and the i ss was the best proof that that's possible. yes, this is best advice for you. the music can be destroyed. you can try, so it's impossible to see how nice, you know, sweets, the nazis, the to musicians who lives in the savannah office. i assume about the sounds of power

and inspiring story about the vital signs to music. fetch the channels to play out . well was the only one i'm super lucky. music under the swastika stuff may 25th on dw, the wait, am i reading this right? i can follow social media accounts and make over $260.00 in a day. well, it's a scam of course, but scans like this, a huge global business, and many scam us, even victims themselves. what topic on ship? this is aaron. he was taken to me. i'm under false pretences and forced to scam people online or via the phone. we'll show you aaron story in a moment, but what exactly is scamming to essentially things coming in a general form is, is really a way of deception right on this coming. anything in particular phones coming or on

lines coming is.
