31
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,381
WHERE ARE YOU FLYING NOW, AND

32
00:01:55,381 --> 00:02:04,257
CAN YOU SEE THE I.S.S. NOW?

33
00:02:04,257 --> 00:02:07,494
>> THANK YOU, SHOKO.

00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:17,303
EAST ON THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.

38
00:02:17,303 --> 00:02:23,309
WE CAN SEE THE EARTH VERY

39
00:02:23,309 --> 00:02:24,677
CLEARLY FROM THE STATION.

40
00:02:24,677 --> 00:02:33,219
>> HELLO, DOCTOR.

>> HELLO, YUI-SAN.

45
00:02:47,433 --> 00:02:51,638
VERY GLAD TO HAVE YOUR SUPPORT.

46
00:02:51,638 --> 00:02:53,840
VERY GOOD TO TALK TO YOU.

47
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,909
>> THE TWO ASTRONAUTS ARE

48
00:02:55,909 --> 00:02:56,976
TALKING TO EACH OTHER.

49
00:02:56,976 --> 00:03:00,246
SO LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.

50
00:03:00,246 --> 00:03:02,081
WELL, DR. WAKATA, YOU DIDN'T

51
00:03:02,081 --> 00:03:06,986
HAVE A CHANCE TO DO E.D.A.

52
00:03:06,986 --> 00:03:11,691
BEFORE, BUT THIS TIME, YOU HAD A

53
00:03:11,691 --> 00:03:14,561
CHANCE TO DO E.D.A. TWICE.

54
00:03:14,561 --> 00:03:26,406
WHAT'S YOUR OPINION OF THOSE

55
00:03:26,406 --> 00:03:26,706
ACTIVITIES?

56
00:03:26,706 --> 00:03:33,012
>> YES, THE E.V.A. WAS A LONG

57
00:03:33,012 --> 00:03:35,748
TIME DREAM OF MINE AS AN

58
00:03:35,748 --> 00:03:36,015
ASTRONAUT.

59
00:03:36,015 --> 00:03:38,718
ON MY EXTENDED STAY ON THE

60
00:03:38,718 --> 00:03:42,522
I.S.S., I WAS FULLY TRAINED FOR

61
00:03:42,522 --> 00:03:47,160
E.V.A. AND FULLY PREPARED FOR

62
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:47,360
E.V.A.

63
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,464
SIMPLY, THE E.V.A. WAS NOT

64
00:03:51,464 --> 00:03:52,865
PLANNED IN THE PREVIOUS FLIGHT,

65
00:03:52,865 --> 00:03:59,606
BUT THIS TIME, I HAD AN E.V.A.

66
00:03:59,606 --> 00:04:04,210
FOR 14 HOURS WITH NICOLE MANN,

67
00:04:04,210 --> 00:04:08,781
AND THE PLAN WAS TO INSTALL A

68
00:04:08,781 --> 00:04:13,620
NEW IROSA SOLAR ARRAY AS THE

69
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:17,090
PLAN IS TO USE THE I.S.S. UNTIL

70
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:19,726
2030, AND I'M VERY PROUD TO BE

71
00:04:19,726 --> 00:04:21,794
ALLOWED TO PERFORM MY E.V.A.

72
00:04:21,794 --> 00:04:22,662
THIS TIME.

73
00:04:22,662 --> 00:04:26,366
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

74
00:04:26,366 --> 00:04:27,300
IN ADDITION TO SUCH IMPORTANT

75
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:28,801
MISSION, YOU ARE PERFORMING

76
00:04:28,801 --> 00:04:33,473
VARIOUS MISSIONS ON THE I.S.S.,

77
00:04:33,473 --> 00:04:38,311
AND THAT MAY INCLUDE TECHNOLOGY

78
00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:42,548
DETERMINATION EXPERIMENTS FOR

79
00:04:42,548 --> 00:04:50,423
LUNAR AND MARS MISSIONS THAT THE

80
00:04:50,423 --> 00:04:52,392
AGENCY MAY BE CONDUCTING.

81
00:04:52,392 --> 00:04:53,993
WHAT EXPERIMENTS ARE YOU

82
00:04:53,993 --> 00:04:54,293
CONDUCTING?

83
00:04:54,293 --> 00:04:57,830
>> WE ARE CONDUCTING VARIOUS

84
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:58,131
EXPERIMENTS.

85
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:02,402
FOR EXAMPLE, EXTENDED GENERATION

86
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,605
PLANS, HUMAN SCIENCE ROVERS, AND

87
00:05:05,605 --> 00:05:07,373
WE ARE DOING EXPERIMENTS THAT

88
00:05:07,373 --> 00:05:10,476
REQUIRE TECHNICAL DATA FOR THAT.

89
00:05:10,476 --> 00:05:12,111
FOR EXAMPLE, WE ARE

90
00:05:12,111 --> 00:05:15,948
INVESTIGATING LIQUID BEHAVIOR IN

91
00:05:15,948 --> 00:05:17,884
PARTIAL G ENVIRONMENT AND ALSO

92
00:05:17,884 --> 00:05:20,720
KNOWN GRAVITY, ZERO GRAVITY ON

93
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,388
THE EARTH, WHAT KIND OF A

94
00:05:22,388 --> 00:05:28,227
DIFFERENCE WE CAN SEE IN THE

95
00:05:28,227 --> 00:05:39,539
COMBUSTION, SO ARTEMIS ONE WAS

96
00:05:39,539 --> 00:05:42,141
LAUNCHED DURING OUR DAY ON THE

97
00:05:42,141 --> 00:05:42,775
I.S.S.

98
00:05:42,775 --> 00:05:45,111
WE FEEL THE TIME TO FLY TO THE

99
00:05:45,111 --> 00:05:46,512
MOON IS APPROACHING, JUST AROUND

100
00:05:46,512 --> 00:05:47,747
THE CORNER.

101
00:05:47,747 --> 00:05:51,250
THE I.S.S. IS A PLACE AND VERY

102
00:05:51,250 --> 00:05:53,252
IMPORTANT TEST BED FOR

103
00:05:53,252 --> 00:05:54,287
CONDUCTING VERY IMPORTANT

104
00:05:54,287 --> 00:05:57,924
EXPERIMENTS FOR LUNAR AND MARS

105
00:05:57,924 --> 00:05:59,492
EXPLORATIONS, SO YOU ARE ALSO

106
00:05:59,492 --> 00:06:02,895
CONDUCTING AN EXPERIMENT FOR

107
00:06:02,895 --> 00:06:04,797
TOILETS, TO IMPROVE TOILETS, AND

108
00:06:04,797 --> 00:06:07,233
THE ASTRONAUT SELECTION TEST IS

109
00:06:07,233 --> 00:06:11,671
NOW IN THE FINAL PHASE.

110
00:06:11,671 --> 00:06:13,740
WHAT KIND OF TESTS DO YOU

111
00:06:13,740 --> 00:06:16,743
ACTUALLY HAVE FOR THE CANDIDATES

112
00:06:16,743 --> 00:06:20,379
THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE TEST 30

113
00:06:20,379 --> 00:06:20,847
YEARS AGO.

114
00:06:20,847 --> 00:06:23,616
>> OH, SO IT WAS 30 YEARS AGO.

115
00:06:23,616 --> 00:06:31,624
I HAVE MANY MEMORIES ABOUT THAT.

116
00:06:31,624 --> 00:06:35,962
I'VE LEARNS A LOT FROM THOSE WHO

117
00:06:35,962 --> 00:06:36,963
TOOK PART IN THE EXAMINATION

118
00:06:36,963 --> 00:06:38,364
TEST, AND SOME OF THE THINGS

119
00:06:38,364 --> 00:06:38,931
WERE SURPRISING.

120
00:06:38,931 --> 00:06:44,370
FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAD TO PLAN TO

121
00:06:44,370 --> 00:06:55,448
FLEE FROM STAPRISON, AND WE HAD

122
00:06:55,448 --> 00:07:00,153
FORM A CONSENSUS OF FOUR OR FIVE

123
00:07:00,153 --> 00:07:00,419
PEOPLE.

124
00:07:00,419 --> 00:07:04,590
I CAME TO KNOW A WONDERFUL

125
00:07:04,590 --> 00:07:06,559
COLLEAGUE OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT

126
00:07:06,559 --> 00:07:07,527
THE PROCESS.

127
00:07:07,527 --> 00:07:08,728
I DON'T KNOW WHY I WAS SELECTED

128
00:07:08,728 --> 00:07:12,498
AS AN ASTRONAUT, BUT I HAVE

129
00:07:12,498 --> 00:07:15,301
ALWAYS BEEN TRYING TO TEST MY

130
00:07:15,301 --> 00:07:17,003
LIMIT, AND I HAVE BEEN DOING

131
00:07:17,003 --> 00:07:19,138
THAT FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS.

132
00:07:19,138 --> 00:07:21,240
SO YOU ARE TRYING TO TEST YOUR

133
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,709
LIMIT.

134
00:07:23,709 --> 00:07:26,279
THAT SOUNDS VERY COOL, BUT WHY

135
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:28,214
DO YOU THINK YOU WERE CHOSEN?

136
00:07:28,214 --> 00:07:37,089
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR STRENGTHS

137
00:07:37,089 --> 00:07:37,390
ARE?

138
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:45,932
>> IT'S HARD TO SAY IT MYSELF.

139
00:07:45,932 --> 00:07:49,936
IT'S A MYSTERY TO ME, BUT MAYBE

140
00:07:49,936 --> 00:07:55,374
I WAS FORTUNATE AND LUCKY, AND I

141
00:07:55,374 --> 00:07:57,343
WAS SO FORTUNATE TO DO SUCH

142
00:07:57,343 --> 00:08:02,181
WORK, SO I WOULD LIKE TO DO MY

143
00:08:02,181 --> 00:08:04,150
BEST, AND I HAVE BEEN DOING MY

144
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:08,621
BEST TO ACHIEVE RESULTS.

145
00:08:08,621 --> 00:08:12,625
YOU WENT TO SPACE FIVE TIMES AND

146
00:08:12,625 --> 00:08:14,694
YOU HAVE BEEN MAKING GREAT

147
00:08:14,694 --> 00:08:14,994
SUCCESS.

148
00:08:14,994 --> 00:08:17,630
THE FIRST MISSION WAS JUST FOR A

149
00:08:17,630 --> 00:08:18,531
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IN THE

150
00:08:18,531 --> 00:08:23,769
SPACE SHUTTING WITHOUT THE

151
00:08:23,769 --> 00:08:24,737
I.S.S., THINKING THE

152
00:08:24,737 --> 00:08:28,074
CONSTRUCTION

153
00:08:28,074 --> 00:08:30,877
CONSTRUCTION -- THEN IN THE

154
00:08:30,877 --> 00:08:35,147
CONSTRUCTION OF THE I.S.S. FOR

155
00:08:35,147 --> 00:08:38,384
EXTENDED TIMES, AND EXPLORATION

156
00:08:38,384 --> 00:08:41,287
TO THE MOON IS BECOMING A

157
00:08:41,287 --> 00:08:43,356
REALITY, AND JAPANESE ASTRONAUTS

158
00:08:43,356 --> 00:08:44,891
MAY BE LANDING ON THE MOON IN

159
00:08:44,891 --> 00:08:47,493
THE FUTURE, SO WHAT DO YOU FEEL

160
00:08:47,493 --> 00:08:59,205
ABOUT THE ARTEMIS MISSION?

161
00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:04,010
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION,

162
00:09:04,010 --> 00:09:04,410
YUI-SAN.

163
00:09:04,410 --> 00:09:11,417
LAST YEAR, WE CELEBRATED THE 30

164
00:09:11,417 --> 00:09:16,589
ANNIVERSARY SINCE DR. MORI WENT

165
00:09:16,589 --> 00:09:18,958
TO SPACE.

166
00:09:18,958 --> 00:09:23,663
HE AND OTHERS STARTED THE SPACE

167
00:09:23,663 --> 00:09:24,297
EXPERIMENTS, AND HE PARTICIPATED

168
00:09:24,297 --> 00:09:29,802
IN THE I.S.S. PROJECT, AND ALSO,

169
00:09:29,802 --> 00:09:36,709
WE CREATED THE KOBE MODULE, AND

170
00:09:36,709 --> 00:09:39,045
JAPAN HAS BECOME A VERY RELIABLE

171
00:09:39,045 --> 00:09:41,314
PARTNER IN THE I.S.S. PROJECT,

172
00:09:41,314 --> 00:09:55,728
AND SO WE HOPE THAT THE JAPAN

173
00:09:55,728 --> 00:10:00,866
WILL TAKE A MAJOR ROLE IN THE

174
00:10:00,866 --> 00:10:01,600
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT.

175
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,405
SO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE MOON,

176
00:10:06,405 --> 00:10:21,053
DON'T YOU?

177
00:10:21,053 --> 00:10:22,154
OF COURSE.

178
00:10:22,154 --> 00:10:24,323
IT'S A DREAM FOR ALL ASTRONAUTS

179
00:10:24,323 --> 00:10:26,959
GOING TO THE MOON, SO I WOULD

180
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:32,498
LIKE TO AIM FOR SUCH

181
00:10:32,498 --> 00:10:34,166
OPPORTUNITY, BUT WHEN I WAS FIVE

182
00:10:34,166 --> 00:10:36,769
YEARS OLD, APOLLO LANDED ON THE

183
00:10:36,769 --> 00:10:49,315
MOON, AND I HAD A DREAM -- THAT

184
00:10:49,315 --> 00:11:01,427
WAS WHEN I FIRST HAD A DREAM OF

185
00:11:01,427 --> 00:11:07,433
GOING TO THE MOON.

186
00:11:07,433 --> 00:11:08,401
I'M

187
00:11:08,401 --> 00:11:12,838
I'M QUITE ENVIOUS OF THE FUTURE

OF INTEREST AMONG THE JAPANESE

206
00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:08,661
PUBLIC IN SPACE.

00:12:08,661 --> 00:12:11,931
AND JAPAN PARTICIPATES IN THE

00:12:11,931 --> 00:12:15,968
ARTEMIS PROCESS, AND I'M PROUD

209
00:12:15,968 --> 00:12:17,703
OF THAT.

210
00:12:17,703 --> 00:12:20,072
JAPAN IS GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN

00:12:20,072 --> 00:12:25,911
THE COLLABORATION FOR LUNAR AND

212
00:12:25,911 --> 00:12:27,847
MARS EXPLORATION, AND I WOULD

213
00:12:27,847 --> 00:12:28,981
LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THAT

214
00:12:28,981 --> 00:12:32,485
EFFORT.

215
00:12:32,485 --> 00:12:40,493
AND I HAVE MY EXPERIENCE IN

216
00:12:40,493 --> 00:12:44,396
TRAINING AND PAST TRAINING, BUT

217
00:12:44,396 --> 00:12:45,598
I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SEE

218
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:47,299
EXPERIENCE FOR THE NEXT

219
00:12:47,299 --> 00:12:50,236
GENERATION, SO WE'D LIKE TO GROW

220
00:12:50,236 --> 00:12:52,004
TOGETHER WITH THE NEW

221
00:12:52,004 --> 00:12:52,304
ASTRONAUTS.

WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON.

225
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:09,221
WHAT IS YOUR EXPECTATION FOR THE

226
00:13:09,221 --> 00:13:17,163
ARTEMIS GENERATION OF

227
00:13:17,163 --> 00:13:19,365
ASTRONAUTS?

228
00:13:19,365 --> 00:13:23,636
THE BASIC ABILITY FOR THE

229
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:25,171
ASTRONAUT REMAINS UNCHANGED, BUT

230
00:13:25,171 --> 00:13:28,774
IN THE FUTURE, THE ABILITY TO

231
00:13:28,774 --> 00:13:29,942
EXPRESS ONESELF OR COMMUNICATE

232
00:13:29,942 --> 00:13:35,915
TO OTHERS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR

233
00:13:35,915 --> 00:13:38,951
THE FUTURE GENERALRATION OF

234
00:13:38,951 --> 00:13:42,421
ASTRONAUTS AS WE GO FOR THE

235
00:13:42,421 --> 00:13:44,657
INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION OF

236
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:48,160
SPACE EXPLORATION.

237
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,362
I AGREE THAT SUCH ABILITY TO

238
00:13:50,362 --> 00:13:51,797
EXPRESS ONESELF AND COMMUNICATE

239
00:13:51,797 --> 00:13:57,603
TO OTHERS WILL BE QUITE

240
00:13:57,603 --> 00:13:59,572
NECESSARY, NECESSARY QUALITIES.

241
00:13:59,572 --> 00:14:02,608
SO SUCH QUALITIES, I HOPE THEY

242
00:14:02,608 --> 00:14:09,949
WILL IMPROVE AND GROW SUCH

243
00:14:09,949 --> 00:14:10,416
QUALITIES.

244
00:14:10,416 --> 00:14:12,218
ON THE OTHER HAND, WHAT WILL

245
00:14:12,218 --> 00:14:13,752
REMAIN TO BE IMPORTANT FOR

246
00:14:13,752 --> 00:14:15,120
FUTURE ASTRONAUTS?

247
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:30,169
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

248
00:14:30,169 --> 00:14:33,138
>> INCLUDING EMERGENCIES IN ANY

249
00:14:33,138 --> 00:14:37,376
CIRCUMSTANCES, THEY NEED TO

250
00:14:37,376 --> 00:14:40,980
GRASP THE SITUATION AND TAKE

251
00:14:40,980 --> 00:14:43,082
NECESSARY ACTION, SO THEY NEED

252
00:14:43,082 --> 00:14:45,484
TO BE CALM, EVEN IN CRISIS, AND

253
00:14:45,484 --> 00:14:47,353
ALSO, TEAM MEMBERS.

254
00:14:47,353 --> 00:14:49,188
THERE'S VERY LITTLE THINGS THAT

255
00:14:49,188 --> 00:14:51,590
ONLY ONE ASTRONAUT CAN DO,

256
00:14:51,590 --> 00:15:00,466
BECAUSE THEY'RE SUPPORTED BY THE

257
00:15:00,466 --> 00:15:04,870
TEAM ON THE GROUND, SO THEY ARE

258
00:15:04,870 --> 00:15:07,673
EXPECTED TO ACHIEVE RESULTS AND

259
00:15:07,673 --> 00:15:09,775
SUCCESS AS A WHOLE TEAM, AS AN

260
00:15:09,775 --> 00:15:15,447
ENTIRE TEAM, AND TEAM WORK WILL

261
00:15:15,447 --> 00:15:17,549
BE QUITE IMPORTANT.

262
00:15:17,549 --> 00:15:21,153
WELL, WE'D LIKE TO ASK MORE

263
00:15:21,153 --> 00:15:23,355
QUESTIONS DR. WAKATA, BUT WE'RE

264
00:15:23,355 --> 00:15:25,591
RUNNING OUT OF TIME, SO WOULD

265
00:15:25,591 --> 00:15:28,227
YOU GIVE A MESSAGE TO THE NEXT

266
00:15:28,227 --> 00:15:32,264
GENERATION OF ASTRONAUTS?

267
00:15:32,264 --> 00:15:34,800
TO THE NEXT GENERATION OF

268
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,902
ASTRONAUT CANDIDATES, I'M

269
00:15:36,902 --> 00:15:40,472
LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING THEM

270
00:15:40,472 --> 00:15:40,806
SOON.

271
00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:44,777
WHEN I LOOK BACK UPON MY LIFE, I

272
00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:46,912
SOMETIMES STRUGGLED WITH MANY

273
00:15:46,912 --> 00:16:01,060
THINGS WHEN I WAS YOUNG, BUT

274
00:16:01,060 --> 00:16:02,795
THAT WAS BECAUSE I WAS SERIOUS

275
00:16:02,795 --> 00:16:04,963
ABOUT ACHIEVING MY DREAM.

276
00:16:04,963 --> 00:16:07,099
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO THE NEXT

277
00:16:07,099 --> 00:16:09,768
GENERATION OF ASTRONAUTS NEVER

278
00:16:09,768 --> 00:16:15,874
GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM AND STAY

279
00:16:15,874 --> 00:16:16,408
STRONG.

280
00:16:16,408 --> 00:16:19,111
AND NEVER GIVE UP AND KEEP UP

281
00:16:19,111 --> 00:16:19,645
YOUR ACTIVITIES.

282
00:16:19,645 --> 00:16:23,415
THE NEXT GENERATION OF LUNAR AND

283
00:16:23,415 --> 00:16:24,717
MARS EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES IS

284
00:16:24,717 --> 00:16:27,486
JUST AROUND THE CORNER, AND I

285
00:16:27,486 --> 00:16:28,554
THINK THAT SPACE DEVELOPMENT

286
00:16:28,554 --> 00:16:30,155
WILL BECOME MORE AND MORE

287
00:16:30,155 --> 00:16:30,456
INTERESTING.

288
00:16:30,456 --> 00:16:33,726
IN THAT SENSE, THOSE OF YOU WHO

289
00:16:33,726 --> 00:16:36,562
WILL BECOME ASTRONAUTS IN THE

290
00:16:36,562 --> 00:16:39,264
FUTURE ARE VERY FORTUNATE, AND I

291
00:16:39,264 --> 00:16:42,401
HOPE TO SUPPORT THEM, AS WELL.

292
00:16:42,401 --> 00:16:44,570
AFTER GOING BACK TO EARTH, I'M

293
00:16:44,570 --> 00:16:47,539
HOPING TO MEET THEM, AND FOR THE

294
00:16:47,539 --> 00:16:49,141
DEVELOPMENT OF THE GLOBAL SPACE

295
00:16:49,141 --> 00:16:52,945
EXPLORATION, I HOPE THAT JAPAN

296
00:16:52,945 --> 00:16:56,348
WILL PLAY ITS ROLE AND MAKE

297
00:16:56,348 --> 00:16:56,682
CONTRIBUTION.

298
00:16:56,682 --> 00:16:58,684
DR. WAKATA, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

299
00:16:58,684 --> 00:16:59,351
FOR YOUR TIME.

300
00:16:59,351 --> 00:17:01,754
>> STATION, THIS IS HOUSTON

301
00:17:01,754 --> 00:17:02,755
A.C.R., AND THAT CONCLUDES THE
