1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,000 Downloaded from YTS.MX 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000 Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX 3 00:10:51,692 --> 00:10:53,778 When I was really young, 4 00:10:53,861 --> 00:10:56,364 my dreams were more down to earth; 5 00:10:56,489 --> 00:10:58,783 however, they were always about technology. 6 00:10:58,908 --> 00:11:01,702 I liked machinery. Big, complicated machinery. 7 00:11:05,498 --> 00:11:09,710 As I headed towards my high-school graduation, 8 00:11:09,835 --> 00:11:15,466 I read quite a lot of quality sci-fi and thought 9 00:11:15,549 --> 00:11:20,429 it would be great to work in the space industry if I were lucky. 10 00:12:24,535 --> 00:12:27,955 Like all boys, we'd look up into the sky, 11 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,417 we'd read books, including the ones about space travel. 12 00:12:31,542 --> 00:12:35,546 I was old enough by that moment to realize that the odds 13 00:12:35,671 --> 00:12:39,508 of me becoming a cosmonaut weren't that high. 14 00:12:43,721 --> 00:12:47,558 My name is Sergei Krikalev and I'm a cosmonaut. 15 00:12:53,772 --> 00:12:56,150 The first crew started to come together, 16 00:12:56,275 --> 00:13:00,154 and as I had experience of working on both Mir and the shuttle, 17 00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:02,323 I was selected for that first crew. 18 00:13:02,448 --> 00:13:06,368 At first Bill Shepherd and I were the only ones there. 19 00:13:06,494 --> 00:13:12,458 Shortly afterwards, Yuri Gidzenko was added to our crew, 20 00:13:12,583 --> 00:13:14,293 and that was the crew. 21 00:13:14,376 --> 00:13:16,420 Bill Shepherd, Yuri Gidzenko and myself, 22 00:13:16,545 --> 00:13:20,966 that trained for nearly four years for that first long-term mission. 23 00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:29,822 The training was intense and unusual, even by modern standards. 24 00:16:29,947 --> 00:16:35,369 The level of our training was well above average, 25 00:16:35,494 --> 00:16:37,371 because we studied a lot of things 26 00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:40,457 just in case there's an emergency we cannot predict. 27 00:16:41,875 --> 00:16:45,921 We trained both in Houston and here in Star City. 28 00:16:46,046 --> 00:16:49,967 It was a very interesting and friendly 29 00:16:50,092 --> 00:16:52,720 experience exchange, information exchange, 30 00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:55,389 emotional exchange, impressions exchange, 31 00:16:55,514 --> 00:16:59,685 because everyone could learn something new. 32 00:22:32,809 --> 00:22:36,104 Yes! We've arrived! We've arrived! 33 00:22:36,229 --> 00:22:38,857 We've finally arrived! 34 00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:53,265 The first time! 35 00:23:53,348 --> 00:23:56,226 The new station. The new International Space Station. 36 00:24:29,092 --> 00:24:31,761 Somebody has to turn on the lights. 37 00:24:33,054 --> 00:24:35,599 I remember knowing by touch, entering in the dark, 38 00:24:35,724 --> 00:24:36,850 where the switches were, 39 00:24:36,933 --> 00:24:40,562 so we switched on the lights, and it was kind of a seminal event. 40 00:25:00,290 --> 00:25:04,669 Well, I think looking back, we can see it was an historic moment. 41 00:25:04,753 --> 00:25:08,757 But back then, we were completely immersed in our work. 42 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,761 We realized that we had reached a station that was in a dormant mode, 43 00:25:12,844 --> 00:25:17,432 and none of the systems could really support the crew's functions, 44 00:25:17,515 --> 00:25:22,812 so we had ahead of us a rather important and rather urgent work 45 00:25:22,938 --> 00:25:26,399 to activate all of the station systems 46 00:25:26,524 --> 00:25:31,571 for it to begin to work as it should, supporting the crew's lives. 47 00:33:05,358 --> 00:33:08,236 I'm Sergey Volkov, a Russian pilot and cosmonaut. 48 00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:14,784 My father, Alexander Volkov, also went to space, to the Mir station. 49 00:33:14,909 --> 00:33:21,833 I was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, when my father was an instructor pilot. 50 00:33:25,336 --> 00:33:28,131 Then he was selected to join a cosmonaut group 51 00:33:28,256 --> 00:33:34,178 and our family moved to Star City in 1978. 52 00:33:35,304 --> 00:33:37,056 I was four at the time, 53 00:33:37,181 --> 00:33:40,435 so it feels like I've lived my whole life in Star City. 54 00:33:44,772 --> 00:33:46,983 Because my father was a cosmonaut, 55 00:33:47,108 --> 00:33:54,032 I was seeing not just the public side of the profession. 56 00:33:55,033 --> 00:33:56,576 I saw it from the inside, 57 00:33:56,701 --> 00:34:00,538 and maybe that's why I didn't dream of becoming a cosmonaut as a child. 58 00:34:00,663 --> 00:34:07,587 This profession seemed so heroic and so difficult to me. 59 00:34:09,589 --> 00:34:14,010 When I grew up, I made the conscious decision 60 00:34:14,135 --> 00:34:19,057 to take on the responsibility and accept the risks. 61 00:34:25,605 --> 00:34:27,607 It was strange 62 00:34:27,690 --> 00:34:32,070 because my father was the Commanding Officer 63 00:34:32,153 --> 00:34:39,077 and he learned about me joining by looking through case files 64 00:34:39,535 --> 00:34:43,331 of the candidates selected for the physical. 65 00:34:43,456 --> 00:34:45,291 So he came home one night with a question, 66 00:34:45,416 --> 00:34:48,419 "Have you decided to become a cosmonaut?" 67 00:34:48,503 --> 00:34:51,380 So we talked, and that's when my mother learned 68 00:34:51,506 --> 00:34:53,591 about me wanting to be a cosmonaut. 69 00:34:53,716 --> 00:34:59,972 Of course, it came as a surprise for them, to put it mildly. 70 00:35:03,392 --> 00:35:06,020 He came to all three of my take-offs. 71 00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:10,775 It's a complicated mix of feelings, but of positive feelings, 72 00:35:10,858 --> 00:35:17,782 because you train very hard, for a long time. 73 00:35:17,949 --> 00:35:19,700 It took me ten years. 74 00:35:19,784 --> 00:35:22,578 My father led me to the rocket. 75 00:35:22,703 --> 00:35:26,290 We walked together, he supported me, 76 00:35:26,415 --> 00:35:31,129 we walked from the bus across the take-off pad, 77 00:35:31,254 --> 00:35:36,217 and he walked with me to the lift. 78 00:35:42,765 --> 00:35:48,354 Then when we were lifted up inside the rocket, 79 00:35:48,479 --> 00:35:50,773 into our own spaceship, 80 00:35:50,898 --> 00:35:56,529 we were closed in, and you hear the rocket come alive. 81 00:35:56,654 --> 00:36:03,578 Valves open, fuel moves, the liquids, 82 00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:11,085 you're inside, you're one with it, and when the launch actually starts, 83 00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:16,257 and you hear the engines work down there, 84 00:36:16,382 --> 00:36:19,468 this calm vibration, the right kind. 85 00:36:26,934 --> 00:36:33,274 The second the rocket goes, that first overload, 86 00:36:33,357 --> 00:36:39,113 these three people, not just me, but the whole crew, 87 00:36:39,780 --> 00:36:42,283 are the happiest people on Earth. 88 00:59:54,549 --> 00:59:56,342 Hello, Mr. Wakata. 89 00:59:57,343 --> 01:00:02,765 Pleased to meet you, first talking robot in space. 90 01:00:06,936 --> 01:00:10,356 Pleased to meet you, first Japanese commander of the ISS. 91 02:02:37,641 --> 02:02:42,813 Space exploration is important because it's a way to expand our world. 92 02:02:42,938 --> 02:02:45,399 The fact that we've now learned to go higher than the atmosphere 93 02:02:45,524 --> 02:02:51,530 is probably a step as crucial as learning to cross the sea. 94 02:03:01,415 --> 02:03:05,419 Sooner or later we must find some settlements on the moon, 95 02:03:05,544 --> 02:03:09,256 then maybe on Mars's satellites, on Mars itself, 96 02:03:09,382 --> 02:03:13,844 so these are the first steps to making our civilization multi-planetary. 97 02:03:17,640 --> 02:03:19,225 We do realize we've just started on this path 98 02:03:19,350 --> 02:03:22,728 and maybe walking it is slower 99 02:03:22,853 --> 02:03:26,357 than sci-fi writers thought 30 or 40 years ago, 100 02:03:26,482 --> 02:03:29,235 but we still have to take steps now 101 02:03:29,360 --> 02:03:31,987 to finally arrive where our destiny lies.
