being caught up with you throughout the morning here to make sure that everything goes smoothly here to give everyone posted on this special coverage show analogy international. you mentioned pet, a sealed panko as well. you know, these are 2 parents. i've had a field has 2 daughters. sure. panko has 3 children as well. at 7 o'clock in the morning. now you've got to imagine they're probably wearing pajamas, a bit nervous watching that parents, you know, come down from all, but it's going to be a pretty tend to time, but very exciting. nonetheless with, you know, we'll catch up with you very soon. please. well correspond to the quarter teen or rush, coffee's in context on right now to cover the landing as it happens now, the 2 hours ahead of most good time. so it's about 9 in the morning now because it's done and by can all. but earlier he did brief us about the preparations on the ground. the

me me, me off with the point to his left clue ship.

and then the bureau i she, she knew the blue shirt girls, girls i should be spin, although she agreed that's the number of arrest your issue. they asked the rushing him up the shirts. assume you are going use for me still and reduce issue with the great that's know if i was, if you would you less and that's for just a little you know. sure, sure. see me the procedure mother, there's a yes

it should have been so much portion you can see in the 4th i'm going to get something about the position of i'm sort of, i mean you got

a little bit more vision of you so much to wrestle with him emotional support, mostly we look at sounds about it. that's a couple of really generally in most cases. so much can you do problems with junior and we're going to go over them with you. when you look at your panko and parasol during this pre flight training, of course it was an expedited 4 month course, but they all went through all i guess you could say the checks and balances that are required for a cause, middleton training. they all part with flying colors, but when you see them experimenting, they're in 0 gravity, and it looks a bit of a bumpy right. to be honest with you, but let's take

a look now and what set to be the 1st ever feature film made in space. now the movies working title is out of the challenge. it is a joint project by russia is a state space agency that of ross cosmos, a channel one and the yellow black and white film studio. now it tells the story of a surgeon played by pet a sealed who is sent to the international space station to perform life saving heart surgery on a customer or is actually played by real life commander or defeat ski, who is, as we speak, guiding the film proved back home. now there were 3000 applicants for his lead role, and not all of them were professional actresses at all. now we did ask a customer service done sky, who conducted at least 4 space walks totaling 28 hours just how realistic the plot is. of the challenge

this letter envelopes, he does teaching them that much more than they said, but i actually am not at printer screen. everything is good. i would have just to use my sensor. i love those more but i wouldn't but get to of cool cool. but most of them is new stuff and not from the introduced circus. one of the store to deal with it goes to the local plus. when you pull chain cool, 9, they got a pi deal clip over at my desk. me to you because you know, sounds, boom, boom a little you keep me in the sky. you want to put out super wide. you still lose you over the civil cherry. it's yet another one financial yes it which is for the wasn't for moody got a fuel. so give us much more than i suppose to give us

a better idea for us to reassure. at least you know, she needs for pretty good. sure. the scream, when you can buy start with that, i mean, but at the boys, but it's a more they tried to speak to him by you know, yesterday with him tonight and watch football. putting that if that's about a thoughtful petroleum, there was more than a full estimate. should i fancy music of little political for nash israel because my nasty watching me what i what i like motion that we knew. so mr. because danny would fit into newton working at the building and that will be plenty of moves. now let them do that. i personally like was more so than you're stuck when you're watching

horton 1st, which was kind of silly writing shuttle notes here. defeating the letter of them was sealed to lose you so much of what i did and they billed me if i could do as many. but i live in a, into the year and i had more summer storm which is system that so fortunately i see what the, where the defeating the mortal coke had ocean new property. it is that you want to keep opening that's going to be written in to a value name she's doing it will show us well, we're really getting down to the wire right now because in precisely 90 seconds from now b m. s 18 capsule with a 3 occupants inside will then boost off an empty module. it'll burn up in the

atmosphere and in approximately now in 3 minutes and 30 seconds, they will start their re entry procedure. so the challenge filled up there to film at the i says it may be the 1st feature length movie made in space, but it's certainly not the 1st artistic experiment shot up there and over it. now you may well remember the canadian, after all chris hatfield, he recorded a music video during his last mission on board, the international space station. his cover of david bowie's space oddity is one of the i says most iconic moments in is point by possibly the world's most popular space song. now hatfield was also the 1st canadian to walk in space is pretty famous, pretty well darn guy. he's got a big presence on social media and so on. and so for he's written a few books as well. he spent 166 days away from us and now he's on another mission, as i said, writing best selling books, which might be a bit of a comfort for those who think what comes off the space where there is life after space. and we had a chance to ask them about the challenges of filming in 0 gravity.

i are very demanding place to try and get a good quality video and audio production. it's a noisy environment. lighting is really complicated because you're going at 8 kilometers a 2nd. so the angle between the earth and the sun and you is changing rapidly. you can watch the shadows, walk across the room, you know, and you, you have to basically close all of the windows because if there's any hint of the sun coming in and out, and you get a sunrise and sunset every 46 minutes, then it will disrupt the lighting of your shot, so it's noisy, it's very confined, it has fluorescent lighting and the sun is a rude intruder scratch. it's just a difficult place to make good quality video but, but these are professionals and hopefully they have all of the skills between the 2 of them that they'll need in order to, to get the product that they want. oh,

well, everything is fun. in weightlessness, i mean shift except maybe go into the bathroom. i mean it, it is a blast. if you're what you know, you can fly, they, they won't have to hold their cameras up, you know, and, and so it's very joyful and, and delightful to be weightless. you can just take a camera and just let go of it and let the camera float and fly. so we work so hard with image stabilization and things on earth when you're not fighting gravity, some of the mechanics of filming, i think, become easier, a lot less tiresome anyway. ah, just like the movie crew up there right now. one day i floated around trying to set up the lighting as best i could and, and videoed myself, singing along with myself up there, the light from the earth. it's really hard to get the camera set right where your face is in dark. so if you watch that video closely, you'll see there's one super bright light right here. and another super when right

here, just so there was enough light on my face. and when the movie team made the movie are interstellar with matt and honey he, they actually used that clip that i had made floating in a couple of the space station. they use that in order to figure out how to light mat mahovski's face in the movie interstellar with which i thought was, was pretty funny. you know me playing a bowie tune that then a movie could use to see how they should light an actor back here on our i think people understand space flight at a more sort of intuitive, visceral level feeling sort of the piece and the grace of the weightlessness that i tried to share during that music video and i run into people all around the world. hundreds of millions of people have seen that video just because there's sort of a hypnotic nature to weightlessness. and i really hope that you really unclean

managed to capture the difference of weightlessness, not just pretend weightlessness, like in the movies, but the actual difference of being there. so i'm looking forward to seeing, you know, how they interpret the space flight experience. you know, i've written for books and written music album and, and done things ever since it with, with great, worldwide a claim that made several television series just to try and do the same sort of thing that the 2 of them are doing. hopefully they'll be better position than i ever was to really help share the magic and the wonder of the space flight experience with people everywhere. i know i love space, it's very much who i am and what i think about and in a, in, in infiltrates all of my choices. you know, the, the books that i've written and the companies that i helped lead in the master class that i did. and university where i teach and, and even the music that i write,

it's all infused the experiences of my life. i don't miss them. i live them. that's who i am. mm. it's thriller fiction set in space called the apollo murders, a said in 1973 with the soviet space station, all mas and luna hood, they are on the surface of the moon. and the cosmonaut said the astronauts, and it's about 95 percent of the book is real. and over half the characters the russian in the american characters are real people. so it's this twisted, intertwined alternative history and, and the world right. reaction has been graded. just launch recently, i'm really proud of the apollo martyrs and i think people are going to learn a little more about space flight from this and who knows? maybe some day this also will be a movie. oh, it's good, happy with us as we continue our special cover, a chair and ottoman international law from moscow and what an historic day for this 1st of a film crew to be returning from the international space station. i should tell you

right now as i look at the clock, it's exactly a 125 seconds ago that they started the re entry procedure into the of atmosphere. so obviously there's that pretty nail biting moment. not just for the crew aboard the mit capsule, but of course for the family as well. so let's cross live down to autism within a culture of the mission control here in moscow. hello again to you. it looks like you might have some family or friends with that other mission control had gotten, obviously a bit of a tense moment as well. how was everybody doing the machine? well, you're so right. very, it is a very tense moment over here at the mission control center. as we are looking very closely at the screen now behind me. and we're looking how the return capsule is approaching earth at the moment and wearing speech i expecting to hear. i news about their safe return as well any time as we speak. and yes, of course, there is a lot of, well growing anticipation tension over here. and of course, a lot of excitement. i can tell you that

a lot of people are here. are filming crews, many, many journalists, and of course, family members of those at the actress unit pretty sealed, and to film director and film producer cream. she panko their family members and friends are also here supporting them their return, watching closely up for them to return back to earth safely and am here joined life by the yacht, mother, mother of clean, as well as his sister. thank you so much for being here. with us, i'm scary to me by chance that he has not received. could you please call me my security practice long time you spent a night here. would you feel dilate? how are you food if you're probably really tired. good. one, city. a normal starts with a little too soon. we will study so much. oh, well, we've been tired even before they win. so to space, because emotionally, it's very challenging to so definitely it's the last minutes and we've been

supporting them. we can see whatever's happening to them on the screen. so suca, jo, we just happen in size and we send them more positive energy so that they can withstand everything and come back and i just expect to see them burst into motions because i'm sure it's good. they're going to be excited and we're going to be excited to we just wanted to touch down, you know, when you see them with the, i mean each of them. so we will get a hug each other, a good idea. but i heard you had an opportunity to tell it an expedient you can use . yes, that was an absolutely amazing experience. we got a call from the i says, got a call from space. it's like a base sy fy movie. but that was an amazing experience. yes, a bull listen choice situation, these 12 days, training for 6 months before the flight for our family,

it was an incredible event for our family. it's a rare occasion to say in the sub with, this is definitely a huge event. to say yes as to what i needed, and i know you've had that off in for quite some time when they were training. you can see how much time. well, we met on the summary occasions you said leave the training session. we came over but very rarely we did see each other and we also went to by can or to see them off . we talk to little bit, we didn't hug each other, you know? yeah. but we still saw the entire family was there. we saw them off with we weren't too nervous for the 6 months, but during this 12 days we were a little bit tense, you know, go with you had a lot of interviews with my colleagues here with the same questions about

i was really interested in one of your answers, you said it is true, mostly other people tend to leave to say, could you please do your tax credit, which didn't match to just such an organizational discourse. here are so many that i've got to place on the line, and there are so many hasten post 2 different stories, but i did you move you to prison. again, you need to be aware of the ultimate purpose. i believe us to learn more to cation e. with particularly for children, that's a role model for them. but with long term when the claims son said he father died, you're my hero. that is usually important to me to keep with that boy will also have these great love she goes in their lives. and so, you know, share it with the stereotype. hugely important that helps to move humanity forwards

. that's what we're seeing right now. right in front of it lies very, very constructive, ph. so we are quite policy will not nervous and those who in to space are these, or least a few people have done a great job and the heroes the was boy, thank you very much for time. thank you. and then you practice giving you a which people are coming down. i was rushing, you will see the return shipment. thank you very much for time. ok, so i just sat now we are expecting the return of the landing capsule to take place and i'm 9 feet behind me. there is a map of what is happening right now. life and this is indeed also the, a life coverage we're coming to life from the russian mission control center. what, where are we?

everyone right now is really excited as i understand that the landing is going to happen as we speak. so we will new more information. sounds great and wonderful, wonderful atmosphere there with a family of clemency. panko as well as, as you were saying. so for the part, just stay with me. him a dinner cuz for the past 6 minutes now, the cops fuel has been coming down through the atmosphere. it goes through what they call a 3 minute block out where all calm is it destroyed essentially because it's going through. it's surrounded by a plasma energy bubble with ferocious temperatures. so typically communications are very, very difficult to maintain between headquarters and the capsule as well. however, it is now 721 moscow time 921 in biking, which means at this moment they are now deploying the parachute for a 19 minute drift down to the launching pads. that's fantastic news. so far. medina stay with us. we'll see you in just a moment. thanks for that. yes. are you? you are. you are 100 percent, right. as you can see there on the screen,

we see it's all in russian. but it said there is that the parish shouldn't perish. landing has just begun, so yes, we are expected to hear the news that they have landed safely anytime soon and it should be the landing should be in precisely 14 minutes. so stand by medina. we'll see you. well obviously space travel can be a very risky business back in 2018. that was a soluble rocket failure that happened right off the lift off. luckily the crew kept their cool and they came away unscathed after an emergency landing. as we understand that have been no accidents since. now, one of the trickiest aspects of space travel is not of a landing. and a here is how that is done. oh, whoa. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. whoa, whoa whoa,

whoa, whoa. well, let's good. have you with us for our special coverage here were naughty international, the caps you will be landing in about 12 minutes from now. now odds, he also has its stake in the space film industry is we actually made our very own documentary from the international space station. now we didn't send a film crew up there though. rather, we, after russian cosmonaut under a, bought a cinco to be our host and guide at that project was a joint initiative by r t. o dos, cosmo santa and okey dokey and space corporation to the manufacturer of the soyuz rocket. it's available this in a 6 languages. however, it's worth noting, not everything went entirely to plan because, well, that's thanks to 0. gravity was just a slave, isn't it? more than a felony rose any more? it seemed to settle mercy,

plenty of a school with a bite, with blue. he cheerful enough. williams with a temporary, if bought a sang car right now, he has rushes, 110 cosmos and a 500 and 19th in the world. now,

of course anchor took part in 2 missions. he's actually spent a 337 days in space. he experienced the 1st time that making films in or about space is no easy feat. perhaps that's why script writers often get it so wrong about the realities of space, but i guess fair to say you can hardly blame them given that only around 600 people have so far even been into orbit. so here at r t, we actually off, but i think to review some popular space movies for us and, and tell us whether or not they can pass the reality test. because i can tell you right now that the majority of these big blockbuster films, about space and the cosmos, when it comes to a reality check, most of them fail miserably. whether he had a book, i mean, get it to think he got it. mm. see what

we can buy from a person or what the call real permission slip issue with this it should be, but i want the notion rational, but just can't believe it wasn't for alleged to it that would she or change a lot of the other pieces that you so much to agree with that saying no, you're right. oh just wait a minute. okay. i think we have some gentlemen him to have her go get a brand. yeah. bella luce yeah. like big lamps, a lot. but other than me, those assistant daughter, least with

i need to bring with filane riley if he ski with one of the movie movie, it could have been a huge and then you stick a black fin with will not to model the old that i forgot. i let's bring his life pictures for you right now as we continue, continue. i special coverage on the international. what we're looking at here is the b m. s 18 space capsule. the parachute in full display for you. now they went through essentially about a 10 minute burn coming down to the atmosphere at a higher altitude. however, this capture was getting rocks by heavily. heavy westerly winds from the high altitude levels, though, as it is come down,

is getting buffeted by easterly women's and they're coming down. sure. brown temperature plus 5 celsius when they hit the ground. of course they'll be hitting it very gently. that is with the help of this parachute as well worth noting. it's been a bumpy ride on the way down with a westerly and easily winds. buffeting the caps. you will. it certainly has been bumpy. at one point they were reaching fi, geez, that's 5 times the normal feel of gravity that so while talk about an exciting ride coming all the way down, let's see how it's going at mission control. now medina, coaching about that with a family of japan, go and all the officials as well who are, who are, who are also involved. we'll catch up with a very, very soon in fact. and there is one of the big helicopters, hey, because this is a, a massive, massive event. now, when it comes down to land, there will be so many there are $200.00 professional vehicles that to be helping with this. there are a helicopter to private jets to whiskey the actual way the cosmo away the on ship panko the director as well. so they're nearly, they're inside. they should be touching down on terra firma inside the next 4

minutes or so. and you've got to imagine off the 12 days in space of the international space station that they've got to be feeling a bit of relief right now. because at this point, they know they've been through the most dangerous part of the trip. they successfully flew up to the i assess, successfully spent 12 days there opening at 17 and a half 1000 kilometers per hour. where with very difficult issues with the gravity they made, i guess the 1st feature filled in space can't wait to see the editing job. when they come back down to terra firma. so here we have the caps, you will now finally coming down and you've got to imagine pettus feel the actress and she panko as well. they've children here. 2 pedo field has 2 daughters, panko has 3 children. they've got to be watching their parents coming down now. probably still wearing their pajamas at half past 7 to hear moscow time, and certainly enough as time for all. but as i said, a very optimistic time now because it looks like everything is turning out perfectly here. we continue on special coverage on,

on the international half past 7 to here on the russian capital half past 9.
