in 2014, and it is russia that attack a silver and country that is ukraine 2 years ago. funny for shar, reporting from rica, and was that we have eat reached the end of our show after the break, close at 6. you a for the international space station. really thank you so much for your company. you'll see about the video that goes in the media, me global google. i've got to be done by get, i will stop into that and i'll give you the order. would you, are you able to order that? i'm jo, media dog, currently more people than ever on worldwide in search of a did you have you ever used them in, at the accounting method of doing it like godaddy? how do you get find out about all the story in for my friends via it's as astronauts on this spaceship and calder,

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, and one of the modules were made in russia us, and you're on an old man and a comfortable. it was a new world where we could work towards a common goal. this is a promising moment. the world had come together, russia is strategic. nuclear missiles soon will no longer be pointed at the united states, nor will we point hours at them. but 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, instead of building weapons in space, russian sciences will help us to build the international space station. you go to them for her while we were preparing the johnson space center, there was a poster saying 300 days till the 1st module long checkup the band was 200 days of the module. one should east and i remember how it still seems like

a long time away, you know, 25 years of combined with, with the went by really quickly since the, this was the most valuable machine, the 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 in launch 2 weeks later, so it was a great joy in my family room that evening. as we all watched aria launch, it was quite an event. we had a great time the,

[000:00:00;00] the 3 to one. we have this through ignition and lift off the face of the ones ever with the 1st american element of the international. and 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 syria 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 with both cabanas pool, the 1st thing and, and who the 2nd to meet this when you, when we also talked about why would you move, move a futile, we look at the we entered the 1st module together. no. then we also went into the 2nd side by side for good. we have quite dealing with mr. then the whole team came up with it and you'll see that the team has coverage began beautifully today to part the the, you know, with the, the started, but i get serious. it's tradition to keep a lock the amount. but then we just sit and it was only right, so the shuttle commander wrote the 1st entry community of charlottesville. the quick, there was that piece, but that was the start of a pattern that we've been traveling together for 25 years. and if i do to lose what's better, then 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 and the whole crew assigned it. but it starts out, you know, from small beginnings, great that things and again, it talked about our, our future and, and 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, to visit thomas office back then we'd also go to the russians room. 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 nations on board. mere need on this one, some of the not so 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 and

thankfully the collaboration came together and use that soon. at the time the mirror station was the benchmarks designed outside the 1st module had gone into space and in 1986 until 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 and operating the international space station within the tube, putting the whole 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, i'm not a. so what happened was that russian experience and the american money which brought together lessons 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 of 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 the crew up there every day, continuously working together and so, and that's pretty awesome. isn't very smooth with us 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 unfamiliar technology. i knew it was confusing, i'm complex a care fee, whatever. since i spent a year on the i ss, everything in here feels really familiar. is this something you think differently about the equipment because you've worked with it for a long time. yeah. yeah. good phones also voice show even with a space station that's like him and you start to have

a sort of personal relationship about and that's really some of those are gonna go ahead and it feels a bit like being at home. that's another almost that's on the 1st piece of business on the scene. and 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 the,

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 us or not. so welcome to the cooper. 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 view of 360 degrees around and 180 degrees onto the earth. sublime is no other place on the station. is this incredible? the just minutes before we started this po event, my colleagues here actually they gave me the on the, 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 movie shirley, earth is so beautiful from above. and so it's different to what you imagine that 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 mechanize 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 that sky for me. that's what i wanted to document all of that and share it with the people down below.

the, [000:00:00;00] the one the other somersault. oops, on. 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 kinda understand

the stylus one events. and i put on the some yes, the 1st time space walk has been carried out by an old woman team. after $220.00 previous i assess space walks. nasa has finally completed one using only female astronauts that use as chris, back in march. and now christina kotch and jessica meyer had their space was cancelled at short notice, because they had nothing to wear, 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's meant a lot, especially because the suits weren't designed for women in mind and was designed for media of 2 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? 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 or 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 suit so that they do take into account the 1st bodies sizes. and it will be more inclusive for the people that will go flying

the stuff to the town on the i was allowed to mix concrete space. see what's concrete release has 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 that. so, 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 up under by to uninstall space intrusted there. 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, arriving to the and it's really historic in terms of space exploration is one of humanities greatest achievement. what is either good olson at fault,

better than mine in china and that on portion the dc. now after this, this video has a serious story behind it. when i was commander hallowell, anything around there 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 leapt there. still, he was a 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 the guess flush that you are not here to 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's for the people to fix one tiger with. as we said, food 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 when i'll come in and shut the glass on me. i brought the darth vader costume because i just had a feeling it might come in handy though. i didn't know how it was turned out to be perfect. indeed. fire flooding and my 2 colleagues were really creative by and so they can segregate, worked out a really good eldest costume. they gave a, it was, i still laugh when i think about it was the one of the 100 because when they went

to read and serena was been 90 professor, when we had a lot of fun spot the, [000:00:00;00] 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, life on earth is wonderfully illuminated by all the city lights and got back on february 24th. we were flying over europe with everything brightly lit and talked to fluid. and i just went but the suddenly we came to a dark spot right in the middle of your open window slide was so striking for at least as happened,

fit really hit us hard to do 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 straightness, the beaten native trigger. we knew it was something we had to talk about, okay, that's because up there were a little family and beyond question via isn't dead within that family and decent. we can only work together efficiently and faced the dangers and emergencies that come our way. that's one resolved if we're all pulling together to come to know my son in the and i'm still on c and then irish meeting. at some point i grabbed anton from defend his commander from on the then also po to are in his russian colleague stuff. and that was, but i wasn't able to start an in depth discussion of people that said was immediately clear that people had been given completely different information, contact info about so once 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 their strength and pins stuck in the days that followed. it was relative eyes to my i thought i'd like to be at the screen. also invision, dirty. there was some discussion in western media and the 9 cosmonaut were sending a pro ukraine message for coming to you by here. i think i can correct that here in no condition i am. yeah, for those suits, had been chosen and ordered a year before the launch on the color was pure coincidence. i see these are 5 years later i saw all like flying through the station wearing a jacket or like i said, aren't you to warm with that jacket? on him at the yeah. can 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. again, the police move forward 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 fight in some,

$200.00 wouldn't. another thing that happened was that question, credit cards were blocks from western services because of the sanctions. and i know that included the music streaming service spot of finance. and on one of several, we were able to use the pressure and the development of the so all of a sudden my russian colleagues had no music in going on with that. that has an impact on the cruise well being out. 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 mind. 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 and fun can see the, the, this is us. couldn't the quote, but there were many reasons the i ss came into being about 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 you need so for, 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 deeper into space. so the international space station has been used not just for technology pro, uh, in terms of, of facilities capabilities, but also for humans as setting how the human operates and space as well. and so with the things that we have learned that allows 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 this on 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 a theme, a comment on this, but for commercial purposes, it's just too big and expensive. to tell you, maintaining it costs far too much. so 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. all right, that's why smaller ones are being built now and see if you have a client that we've gone off with. uh yeah, yeah, contracts to help develop a commercial space station space. we're flying private astronaut missions to the international space patients, and we need that time to transition from a u. s. involvement in this huge international space station to smaller

commercial destinations in space where the u. s. 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 data parts with each heart brought into reentry individually as on the whole thing. and it's entirely you will have to be brought into re entry class to be and listen. i need to push a little 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 will happen with the current space station. this has

repairs, go up and companies won't be as interested and they'll let their space stations burn up in the atmosphere and that must be the most uh, boot up with us. we didn't from mirror, we have experience and had to bring a space station out of orbit to be the something near you, which was good. it's no easy task. technically speaking, support from a phone. it was more than a sample. do look like i'm a well end up helping my colleagues to make the necessary decisions and to deal with unexpected situations. if the arise goes to somebody or we can, stephanie said, thoughts has been able to, but i hope this isn't going to happen in the near future and you shall not even though the station has already been an orbit longer than planned to him, but lives on the escape from kate, this to nasa is already figuring out concrete scenarios for doing it from leaf model the process and they know what would happen if the space station had to come down tomorrow. you know, 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 could stay near 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've let it burn up over a specific location waters which i'm probably the south pacific, which is also where me are, came down and think on this. most of it would burn up and a few metal parts would crash into the sea. let me talk to the men to 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 isn't the home. so they're going to and that to stop by the problem in the me, well, the are really side moment the that's how we felt when the mere station was brought out of orbit because that'd be this done. so they knew that this will be especially side. yeah. the more because the i ss wasn't just a place where we weren't, and it took almost a sense a, it was also

a place where we really lived with me some of the night, the midst of got to them with n, as really is really an opportunity even like me, so i go outside and i see the space station go on over head. and 1st i think about my friends that are on board and 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 the guy from the one and just the 3 members of our species outside of it was that 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 events and you had to smile because it was such a crazy situation. and such a privilege to one out of as a customer, the really the i s s means to me, cooperation and experts know for me it was most of the teachers stations me, well, the smaller and built differently. and then what we might achieve other unique things, like going to mars literacy boot missions we're,

all of humanity comes together to achieve something even more ambitious. and the i ss of the incurs this in the city. 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. is this best advice for you? the music can be destroyed. you can try it. it's impossible. the see saw how nice, you know, so it's the, was the nazi's favorite conduct.

the 2 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 chandler play out. well, the only one i'm super lucky. music under the sun starts 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 this is aaron. he was taken to me on the under false pretences and for us to scam people online or via

the phone. we'll show you aaron story in a moment, but what exactly is scamming?
