needed to mean tain the international space station. >> wow. incredible. that must be really cool for them to be able to do eva walk, must be surreal to be outside of the station, and be able to see earth from outer space. >> easily. one of the highlights of everies a renow the you can ask questions of. that is highlight of the trip to space, rather. that is whether a spacewalk. spacewalks are 6.5 hours long roughly. but in that time, they are dense, packed procedures. it is really, just you got to go from one. ♪ other. one of the most sought after moment whens you have to wait for a second so sometimes for example. are thermal constraints on the outside of the international space station some need to be either hot or cold depending on if the sun is shining on them and ask them to sit back and wait for a second that this is he lie soughtafter moments that is densely packed that moment will be finally they will finally get pause and look down at the earth. >> that sounds amazing. i but it is breath take and taking the breath away in the short mom

it is going to be some time until the hatches are open between dragon and the international space station. there are still some things to configure on that side. the vestibule on the international docking adapter that separates the hatches of dragon and the international space station has been exposed to the vacuum of space and us had the sun shining on it periodically, so, when pressuring the vestibule to equal the pressure inside the space station. >> welcome to iss. we are so excited to have you aboard.

and frank, manager of the international space station program at the european space agency. each speaker will make brief remarks and we will open the lines to questions from the media. for reporters on the line, press star one to ask a question. please remember to state your name and media affiliation before you speak and address the speaker who you would like to answer your question. address one speaker at a time. you may enter again and ask additional questions. first of, we will hear from steve durer sick -- we will hear from steve. >> i want to congratulate the nasa team, space x team and our international partners. what we do is really challenging but also rewarding and we could not do it without our commercial one international partners. watching a launch from the kennedy space center never gets old for me. it is especially exciting and visually stunning, this launch was. it was a little different for me this time as the acting administrator. ministrator but then i could not be more proud of the team. it has been an incredible year for nasa, particularly for human spac

kennedy space center in florida, and successfully launched into space they will dock at the space station international space station early tomorrow morning saturday morning in about 4:30 a.m. eastern. you're watching live coverage simulcast of tv here on c-span2. megyn blows kisses -- ready for their ride to the space station. and here they come -- the crew two astronauts taking first steps outside before their journey to space. [applause] i love this moment. they have opportunity to wave good-bye -- departure on schedule. right so we just heard that announcement that the crew has departed the operations and checkout building on schedule. and we can see the astronauts inside the crew access arm. commander shane, there he is climbing inside -- crew dragon "endeavour" call this process -- crew member get buckled in as you can see side hatch is closed -- five, four, three, two, one -- liftoff.

they've been readying the international space station to welcome the four crew members of crew 2. they had to remove some in front the hatch. space is an initial at the international space station. i'm talking about figurative space here. they carefully design where to put things and move things out of the way. they also have to add padding to make sure no one bumps their head when they float on through. we're expecting at 7:45 this morning there to be a become ceremony, that's when the astronauts currently on board will welcome crew 2 and they'll do a televised event. it's also interesting to point out it's going to be pretty crowded on the international space station for the next couple of days. that's because there will be 11 astronauts on board. that is, before crew 2 says good-bye to crew 1. crew 1 is expected to leave the space station on wednesday. and splash down here on earth after they've had their six-month stay at the international space station. pretty cool they're overlapping. crew 1 and crew 2, historic journeys on crew dragon get to overlap on the international spac

international space station is a collaboration between 5 space agencies including nasa and russia as. it carries out a wide ranging research on everything from biology to astronomy and physics so we're going to be very busy during this mission. the rocket is taking off from the same site as i said where you work a garden made history 60 years ago the soviet cosmonaut became the 1st person in space on the morning of the 12th of april 961 his vostok one craft blasted off circling the earth for 108 minutes 6 decades later and here we are and gardens named still lives are. reduced did you get that in your the form of the number no doubt in yours. and i think here you could go right recognizing me and i wish i knew armstrong i'm sorry i don't know what. face recognition this feels in the wild actually your car is now if you. had a better solution. and he's promised to produce the pieces. so you do good god it is true but only to speed that jesus is coming again and that judgment to be a judgment is fairly good i mean you're getting. a few. stumbling stone out of it all i see for the last g

welcome to the international space station. >> it is awesome to see the 11 of you on station. it is incredible. congratulations crew two on an amazing launch yesterday. coming to kennedy space center and watching the lunches never gets old. seeing the predawn launch yesterday was amazing. congratulations. i also want to congratulate the nasa and spacex team for our third commercial crew mission in less than a year. a lot of firsts on this mission. including the first crew hand over of a commercial crew. it was cool to see during docking to see one dragon docked on the port and the other dragon coming in for docking. it was amazing. april has been an amazing month and a busy month for iss with mark, pietr, and oleg now preparing for crew one to come back. i am really excited for all of the research, technology, and development that will be enabled on station. it will benefit folks on earth and also prepare us for our return to the moon and eventually a mission to mars. it is an incredibly exciting time for iss. shane, megan, akihiko hoshide and thomas pesquet, we thank you for

it was the exact same booster that flew crew 1 to the international space station in november. space capsule, spacecraft endeavor has also already flown to space, that was the space capsule that brought doug hurley and bob behnken to the international space station on that historic demo 2 mission in may of 2020. what's really interesting to moat is megan mcarthur who is the nasa astronaut piloting this mission, bob behnken is her husband. she is sitting in the exact same seat that her husband did almost a year ago flying this historic flight. this is of course the third crewed mission for spacex and their crew dragon. this is all of course part of a multi-billion dollar contract with nasa to take over these ferry missions back and forth to the international space station. we've been reliant on the russians since 2011 when the space shuttle program was retired to get our astronauts back and forth to the international space station. so this has really been a historic program, the commercial crew program, relying on the commercial sector to take over for these ferry missions back

the international space station is a platform for doing work in low gravity conditions.nt to grow a very complex structure it's easier to do in space because you don't have gravity tearing things apart when you are trying to build for example, complicated crystals. also there is the human space flight element. we want to understand how people live and work in space. and indeed survive in space for long periods. because there are ultimate goals to send people back to the moon and eventually to mars. which is a long journey. it's about a two year round trip to go to mars and back again. you've got to understand how human physiology can survive that trip. and two of the humans who are now up they are eight european and a japanese astronaut. tell us why that is important. it’s japanese astronaut. tell us why that is important-— is important. it's the first time that eight _ is important. it's the first time that eight european _ is important. it's the first time that eight european or - is important. it's the first time that eight european or a - is important. it's the first

we've got all these astronauts on the international space station, 11 at the moment.ut there a lot, what will they be doing? there is a lot of work to do. there are a lot of science experiments being carried out up there all the time. the international space station is a platform for doing work in low gravity conditions. there are many things that you can't do on earth because gravity stops you from doing it. for example, if you want to grow a very complex structure it's easier to do in space because you don't have gravity tearing things apart when you are trying to build, for example, complicated crystals. also there is the human space flight element. we want to understand how people live and work in space. and indeed survive in space for long periods. because there are ultimate goals to send people back to the moon and eventually to mars, which is a long journey. it's about a two year round trip to go to mars and back again. you've got to understand how human physiology can survive that trip. and two of the humans who are now up there, a european and a japanese astr

the rendezvous phase until dragon docks with the international space station over the next 23 hours and bring you through the major burns that are happening but i am so jealous of marie and the group over there over at the kennedy space center. you actually got see the launch and probably feel it as well. marie, what was that like? >> oh, it was just spectacular! you know, the sun has not come up yelt here in florida, but you know, we were able to turn around and see the launch right behind us, and it lit up the sky just absolutely breath take. >> it was so -- it was astounding to see the colors mean not the just the usual fireball but there was pulsating to the end and you are much more eloquent describing that sequence which i appreciate you doing that. >> happy to help. >> it was so fun and knowing that those guys were enjoying the ride along with the site wes got see. of course, we were so lucky have clear weather here being able to see the re-entry burn as well. i was hoping we would catch landing burn and clouds on the horizon did flock vau and also such a treat to be able to see

it took about 40 lead missions to assemble the international space station in orbit. starting in 1999 and completing in 2011 the space station is now depicted in the gallery and a model that we have suspended an international space station is the size of a football team from insulin to end zone and sideline to sideline. that gives you a sense of this tremendous technological endeavor. to build something of that size and space. so we have been in earth orbit here for a few minutes. why don't we go to mars just outside the gallery? the first spacecraft to land on mars. here we are at viking, the first spacecraft to land on mars. actually it's one of two vikings that landed on mars. this is another thing that was in the news at the time. this museum opened in 1976. to have landed on mars after a number of trials and misses, it was very exciting. both the russians and the united states had been trying to put a craft on to the surface of mars. this was equipped as a sort of observatory and sort of laboratory. it had a scoop at the end of the long arm that was going to scoop

a viewer about the shape of the space station as a child i thought of the space station as a spinning ship because of the artificial gravity but nowadays the international space station and its predecessors are more like tree trunks when we have all the spending ones under what's your forecast. i think not soon because it depends on certain technical challenges and it's not that easy to create an operate such a station or a spinning station went to merge in orbit for the next couple of decades well i mean when the same size as the international space station but if we're talking about a small station well it may happen. and that would be at the team at the present the crucial thing is that it's unnecessary it looks cool but the international space station is 1st of all a scientific laboratory and a spinning station we can create sort of gravity but here is the opposite the goal of our flights is to avoid gravity and to reach 0 gravity so it may be that if we most of the whole science and we can somehow see such spinning stations so it would be like in the movie passengers with a swimming pool. in a cinema on the spaceship. the movie is different it show

he was on the ground when you spent a year on the international space station. what will it be like for bob and their son seeing their wife and mother in space? >> you know, what a great story this is. you know, i -- a big fan of both bob and megan, actually, both of them have been my boss at nasa before and they were -- they're great people to work with. i don't really know their son, but i would imagine that he's brilliant, you know, considering his parents, but -- yeah, and it was great seeing megan fly again, because her last and her first flight was, wow, probably more than a decade ago, the last hubble servicing mission. so, really fantastic to see her in space. >> so, bring us into what it's like to be her right now. what was it like for you to be up there for a year, away from family, for her, i believe it's six months, and then coming back to gravity on the ground? >> you know, it's challenging. i'm not sure how long megan's going to be there -- >> i think it's six months. >> yeah, six months is a long time in space. my first long flight was six months l

steve swanson is a former nasa astronaut who flew three flights to the international space station. e at the space station. it's a great moment for them, for the crews getting there, they've accomplished a lotjust to get to that point. and so, it's a really, really happy moment. the first couple of months are always pretty good, kind of like the honeymoon period, and then it starts to wane a little bit as it gets to be kind of old had that environment to me was fantastic, living in the micro gravity and a floating environment, i love that aspect of it, but then you weigh that against being away from home, being away from yourfamily and from home, being away from your family and friends and the food and all the other things you can't do back on earth, and that starts to take its toll a little bit as time goes on. it's kind of interesting and even to me at the very end though, i got happy because i knew i was going home but i was still up there in this great environment and that was the best time for me was like the last month. i think it's a great model that nasa and spacex working to

in fact, it was safely docked to the international space station. t will only be for a couple of days. crews that boarded the international space station six months ago are set to splash down on earth in a very exciting splashdown on wednesday. "crew 2" docking now. they're just beginning their journey. they will be up there six months conducting all kinds of exciting research and experiments, over 250 of them, to better life here on earth. also a big part of this is one day getting us back to the moon and mars. so a lot of the work they're doing up there is all in that effort. fred? >> all right, rachel crane, very fun, hopeful and inspiring. thank you very much. >>> coming up -- tiger woods, speaking of inspiring, on the road to recovery after surviving a car crash in california. we'll have an update next. pain doesn't care how old you are. or what color you are. pain doesn't care if you live in a small town or in the spotlight. pain has no limits. that means we need care without limits. care like a parent with a newborn. care like we took an oath.

they're going to dock at the international space station tomorrow morning at about 5:10 a.m. ce station right now. that's the most that have been on station for years. nominal trajectory. that's all great. now here's the problem, it's a minor complication. they've got three toilets now for all 11 astronauts. they don't have enough beds. so as a result, two astronauts, and maybe three. >> oh, no! >> it's a complication. two astronauts, maybe three will have to literally get into a sleeping bag and tether themselves to a wall for just about a week or so, until four astronauts that arrived last november, until they come down, probably next week. we're expecting them to reenter next wednesday. it's going to be a little crowded up there. the good news is, they did just add that third toilet. so they have three commodes for 11 people, not quite enough beds. but as the nasa chief said to me yesterday, we've got another dimension here, and that is, you can float anywhere in the station. >> i was going to say, you don't have to worry about having a comfy mattress if you're just hanging

this its second mission to the international space station. metre by metre, the gap closes. e four astronauts blasted off on friday from the kennedy space center in florida. the first to use a rocket booster recycled from a previous flight. checks complete between space station and capsule, time to meet their crewmates for the next six months. confirmation that the crew is go... making a total of 11 astronauts now on the station. it has not been this busy for years. it is really unbelievable to be here on the space station. the space station has changed quite a bit since last time i was here. i have never seen so many astronauts on board. different spacecraft on board. i think it is a tribute to how strong our programme is going. a new era in space, then. thanks in part to a recycled rocket. station, this is houston, are you ready for the event? angus crawford, bbc news. steve swanson is a former nasa astronaut who flew three flights to the international space station. i would like to be there but also it's a great moment for them, for the crews about to leave, the crews gett
