thoughts were focused on what. could he ever think that his life's work would cost him his last. one happened in those few seconds. and what secret season sealed barrels still. you're ignoring. oh you're watching r t the headlines for you now that's terror attack in the very heart of the father russian father who was killed twelve and injured one hundred twenty a powerful blast rocked the metro in the minutes the peak of the. trains emerged that coalition forces have been forming and may be able to continue raining which causes cancer and tensions later denies the allegations of continuing

warheads have previously been used by the u.s. one day doesn't. run the world is marking half a century of space travel i think for twelve months and sixty one the russian cosmonaut who can govern it became the first man to reach out to the stars by being propelled into orbit. never asks the two russian cosmonauts how much space travel the change in the last part i think it's. right or not that's next. hello again and welcome to spotlight the interview show on our feet i'll bring up to date we're having guests from outer space it's because today the world is celebrating fifty years since he got in first went into the specs in russia after the event is called causing all of its day and the rest of the world knows it as he

here it is night but whatever the name this day is a milestone for mankind that proves it can make dreams come true so has traced travel changed much these five decades we're joined by kauffman off and here of all the soviet union alexander prevention here on earth and the come on expedition twenty seven today i assess that if he talks to us from the international space station. during your guns words let's go when taken off a space where a signal to the world is a door into orbit and was opened on the day away bill twelfth nine hundred sixty one the people of the world were united and political systems for religious beliefs and skin color didn't matter it was a time of romantics who dreamed about the unimaginable possibilities of this great step brought. us is the early seventy's space has been kept populated

first it was so obvious cosmonauts later they were joined by their colleagues from other countries and now those in order to even work together and the international space station a joint project sponsored by sixteen governments. xander thank you for coming to our studio today and we also welcome mitri can drop ship who is joining us from the international space station log good wishes. first of all i would like to say that we are celebrating because mardi gras day to day they were serial the first man to fly to space there was a russian person yuri gagarin in this forest i remember the first words the earth heard from the arbiter the words of good guy who said i see the earth is beautiful but have a question for me has it become a common thing for you to see the earth from outer space do you feel when looking at our planet he said it could be chilled view out the window for you just like say

shop across the street is for us right here. and then he calls an old say you can't get enough of looking at this and i completely agree with them because the three linux amazing from space it's very different every time in daylight at dusk and then there is a mystery conditions and various regions of the earth is very beautiful it's a breathtaking sight just telling good enough of it. as. alexander do you remember april it's wealth of finance in sixty one so when you're a guitar influencer space there's of course i remember very well i was a third year student at the most. on that day when i heard the news on the radio the russian space. well i called the russian people rejoiced and this tour never left me throughout my life and i'm very happy in my own way should have chosen my

profession of a cosmonaut. with my own eyes i've seen the beauty of the earth which can go unspoken of which we are talking now so is it an unforgettable sight for you. yes of course. the earth which we normally do we go from here at least as a replacement for such things as television theatre and other entertainments if you want a kid because when you look at the earth you're always amazed it was placed you say where. abusee of those places. things from one another. thanks in your memory. while you are talking to your colleagues the cosmonauts as we can see continue working after what is the current focus of your work at the i assess some serious research for want to put you on are what is the most important thing is this act of being in space or summary you can every day work maybe if. you

work you. could say they international space station is a huge research complex. there are international crews. and there's a lot amount of scientific equipment. today just like every other day cosmonauts and astronauts are conducting quite a number of experiments. it's a law it's an important job. as neapolitan of the big terrestrial team that's works to enable experiments and i'll just space. certainly confers considerable responsibility on the cosmonauts. and it is for this reason that they're focused on their experiments so i their aim is to make everything with maximum accuracy and in due time. so as to playing the necessary scientific results that people back on earth expect that. they need to be you keep a blog of your own while in orbit that is not just also part of your job search as

part of your is simon from the earth or just a hobby and a way to relax maybe. you. know like all people of the earth cosmonauts and old it have an opportunity to communicate with others through social networks to keep blogs it's also one of my hubby's i'm doing it socially on the voluntary basis in order to have a chance to tell other people about it. and also. beautiful fluids from space. people on earth should understand but a cosmonaut seeks to do all he can to use his time in all of it as efficiently as possible. this is why my blog describes positive our everyday work like our space walks the scientific experiments and how we spend our free time that is it covers all the aspects of life on board the station alexander you repeatedly gauged in space walks and mitri said it so much just now is it in absolutely different

sensation what you feel inside the craft and engine role does it feel scary i'd like to make a small correction and say our stars are known spaceflights back in the soviet union it was in mine since seventy eight thirty years ago in fact i really happened to do some walks announces pace. total of two hours fifteen minutes. we should get the impression i got the companies me for all of my life. was received from inside the station i think metro will agree which is that the earth is really spiritual. you see the oriole but it's a closed view and the impression is as though you were looking at it from across a post hole from a high altitude which was a pretty well when you step outside you see that the earth is an enormous fear. when you come to feel the speed when you as a whole over it and work about thirty immense planet who are so you get

a feeling of speed on top of that. this particular perceptible on the night side when you see the cities gliding by and what's the proximate speed of the station seven point eight kilometers per second sounds absolutely on a real here in earth that's the usual speed otherwise you won't keep the over it's usually. of the same feeling just plain also want to ask you whether it's scary to be no other species. when there's actually just one thread tying you to civilization. really grew with alexander i have the same feelings when you're inside the station you have an impression that you're inside some premises like inside. an alternate bills some other vehicle and there's a feeling that the border separates you from eldest space when you get into your space suit open the hatch and walk out if you lola one on one with outer space it's just you space and the earth and the earth is huge and beautiful can really see the

jewels and sunsets it's a pretty old feeling it's inexplicable. well as for my impressions from my first walk on celsus place and whether it was scary for us to walk and sells his pace from my own experiences i can say that the first minutes when you walk carlson say this abyss around you when you feel a bit strange because. when you fix your glance at the station you start feeling as if you are part of the station where you work. and the old feeling goes away. you look at the shin you well also that you start working normally and calmly. i think that the guys feel pretty much the same and can confirm that. i was telling center i'm now looking at me train looks totally different from the way cosmonauts seen or twenty or thirty years ago that you would do and think that he's in space

it seems that he's somewhere in a room that story in another television studio me these are the conditions at the station different and you have to really become easier and more homelike when you know i wouldn't say that they've become easier. but if you look at the miter. i can tell you that he's always had a good health and has always been strong enough let's take you. live in his organism has to fight its use and adapt to the conditions of zero gravity. it was he was without a berth of the sea bass parts will always remain this big secret so this is the specifics of working in space and they won't agree that it has become easier. the thing is that not all space stations have more free space for the web your script will upon completion the r.s.s. will have a volume of twelve hundred fifty cubic meters and you see it and i used to work at a station with a volume of just sixty to break news servers would be skipped that makes a world of difference. codes dates twenty times more. when the first

flights to the i assess took place a lot more said about the psychological compatibility receiver you managed to achieve full psychological compatibility with foreign astronauts or you still have to get used to each other and maybe tolerate each other sometimes. just like in any other team there are various people working at the station they come from different countries and speak various languages. the main thing that unites them is that they're professionals and what they do and when professionals toss communicating with each other they develop a whole new level of understanding they know the business and their work is well coordinated but the fact that the people are all their friends makes it more interesting to work with them face to that life in iowa says is not boring crew members are all different each has his own interests we share experience and

information with each other. and the fact that all of us are different makes life in the station more interesting. say alexander invention cosmological hero of the soviet union and me to come back to the commander expedition twenty seven to i assess spotlight will be back shortly after a break so stay with us we'll continue. chosen from among many. he was given a clear cut mission. a mission he successfully accomplished. and became the first ever man in outer space. hero of the soviet union one of the best known persons in the whole world. all his thoughts

were focused on so much. could he ever think that his life work would cost him his life. what happened in those few seconds. and what sea could sneeze and seal the barrels still. keurig are any. place on our team wealthy british scientists scientists. on the type of. market finance can. find out what's really happening to the global economy which might stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report. when the news is not enough. and when it's something

really crucial. when you want to get down to brass tacks we bring you special coverage years of research and construction goal to hear the famous. for the first human blasting off into space. and returning as the hero. of. the first question more on the odyssey. welcome back to spotlight i'll be just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is alexander of cosmonaut and here are the soviet union and. they come under expedition twenty seven so the international space station. mr ivanchuk of it's been

a long time since you flew charter space and then worked in the consumation our space exploration program the last has changed since than what you were dreaming off and towards what you were making the first steps and you have made a lot of first steps here is that coming true today are your dreams coming true. amazed when i see the i s s today cruise workers are going to hell it accommodates up to thirteen people at once on shuttles talk so it peculiar and i'm amazed that they miles of work are rebels and that the capabilities of the hardware when they did you know they have internet there these days if we couldn't dream of that in mars time. you can say and leave them in a way that we're looking at my friends working there now because among all the states of the altar equipment i think that they're very lucky to work on spacecraft like this approach that you don't think you can well they say the road to space is a never ending one. so i think that there will always be new spacecraft in those

working conditions you show a future cruise and who should missions when people look at you cosmonauts i mean the dream of flying into b.c.c. that soon there will be teams in with hundreds of spacecraft taking off and just peace and that people will soon fly to remote limits and that after all the future of mankind license peace as for you your situation is quite opposite now as you're in space looking down at the earth today what do you think just the future of mankind belong to outer space or humanity will continue to live where it was born on the earth. from space to earth looks like home and most of the hill mankind and so the future lou. different from here. is the future of mankind just one big society which grows and develops and learns from its mistakes. from up here the future of mankind looks united and happy.

i just hope that mankind able to solve all of its problems eventually as in time will come when people will to live freely and happily all across the planet. i said alexander if you think that national space programs that link up only there should be preserved for you me would be better to set up an international space agency so that mankind could explore outer space as a single entity of carrying out exploration by individual countries. well before answering this question who should first of all determine the purpose of doing what you're talking about what i mean is peaceful exploration naturally we're not talking about space weapons of course not. because you've just asked a question about mankind and all planet earth means for it. i agree with mystery that for mankind the earth will always be

a common one for all people. there's a direct threat that humanity is going to lose its home. there's a huge belt of asteroids around jupiter and mars. as frauds have always been a hazard that hasn't disappeared nowadays and people are becoming aware of that city due to the asteroids fall in the earth every one hundred years on average for the siberian natural rights for it was the last asteroid that hit the earth in nineteen zero eight we think. of that phenomenon in two thousand and eight. hundred years have passed and another asteroid may be on its way to strike the earth any time. now our american colleagues are thinking about reorients and their national programs to research asteroids the probability of their division from trajectories and subsequent falls on earth under these circumstances only pulled in

to preserve the earth for mankind but also to have some reserve planet as an alternative this is why scientists and other. turn in their eyes from mars conditions of habitation are in a way similar to the ones that we have on earth. that is why it's possible to turn this planet and serve home for earthmen. of our military here in the commander of an international crew so do you think we will eventually have an international space agency or it would be better to conquer space through national programs and the forseeable future because in five or ten years say you will be a decision maker in this country. today the international space station is a good example of effective space cooperation. fifteen countries are taking part in the international space program and. they could parade in the east all the

efficiently creating a big scientific complex. the international space station is a good example that proves the future space exploration is not just possible. it would be great if only for a few nights consoles exploring into space all together. center what will be the future means of delivery of cosmonauts to space you were one of the designers of the space craft and you saw the charcoal he americans are currently using are rockets to be because they have temporarily suspended their shuttle program and still does the future why would space shuttles iraq it's what do you think it's. you know originally this idea of shuttles was based on an assumption that it would be possible to create a reusable to live or a vehicle. it will be cheaper and operational but it turns out that space shuttles can only be cheaper if the demand for them is great and if launches take place

every week usual sort of your numbers will interfere with our current situation is far from that and today our american colleagues are returning to the old polo model . where do you need you to understand that if you launch is actually taking place which is a more expedient search turned to the old motor vehicle so you can actually get kids and asked what is going to happen next because well what's on the development of cosmonauts next will show how things will go clearly thought his approach. to the old perhaps some revolutionary solutions will appear in the future he's here with us today if we proceed from the need to use jet engines here when it's modern understanding it would propel you through the possibility of praising any other types of spacecraft and means of delivery is nowhere in sight. in the treaty have any dreams related to your work to you for your flights me.

of course you know you can always dream of something. i would like to make more flights to be useful to do something that a human being has never done before and of course it's really very interesting to take calls in some new space programs we should make it possible to fly even further. to the moon to mars maybe tell the planets strikes i mean the path of humanity in space is endless that's why it would be a great pleasure for me to participate in future space programs out where they're going where would you like to go the tree you were talking about new floods for example if you mention that you will get a chance to participate in a flight to some planet or maybe it's for those who are school students to be to do this last year work. well today the possible nations to mars is still too far away . that's why i think that today's high school was possibly college students

would be able to do just that to colonize new planets and travel further than their parents like my grandparents did. who i had the yes and i think that once someone does go to mourners that i hope that our program spoke like will still be on here you know hope you'll come to our studio it will have a live program with a martian space crew i have always going to explore and i have one worked western for alexander ivanchuk off alexander you were there first cause michael took a guitar to the space station and you sang there. what did you sing we spotted on siri member what it was. well yes sure i did. the very first song i played there was the film by waltz. and it produced this song is very popular among hikers and backpackers. with it with and we had a video conference at that time with its authors. that's an answer again it's and

it was great. to see you mean your plane to guitar was transmitted to earth yes we i think so this means you're officially the first space performer seems like. what we saw in the fifth element concerts in space it was actually you who invented all that. and we have also i think katherine coleman the member of the crew in the current that's tradition to the international space station she has a flute right and she intends to organize a concert with musicians here on earth that retreat tell us more about the project as a play. indeed katherine coleman intends to organize a concert together with some popular musicians on earth and they will play music together nothing of this sort has ever happened before it's a very interesting event and it's very unusual from the musical technological and organizational points of here. that's why i think it would be interesting for

everyone for all members of the crew and for the participants on earth. i consider this event to be very interesting and i hope it will happen soon. well i would like to suggest something to you would be tree and to your life sander i think that in this future concert you have to include alexander ivanchuk caught in that group which is headed by katherine coleman and which will be a joint space center estoril orchestra playing music in the future this is my idea that i do to you and i think that alexander won through your performance my dear friends thank you a lot thank you both of you for taking part in our telecast i wish all the best to you dmitri and to you and santer on their occasion of the holiday thank you just to remind you that my guest today alexander. and hero of the soviet union and we. i think come to see if they come on down expedition twenty seven today i assets

and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to add your sales bob might point someone in march you think i should do next time to drop me a line of alderman or have a party see the attorneys and let's keep spotlight interactive movie business with more frequent comments on what's going on in and outside pressure until then stay on r.t. and take it. to cut. cut cut cut cut cut cut. cut .

most. of the latest in science and technology from around flushing. we've dumped a few jerks coverage.
