working on building the space station ... 465 00:36:14,588 --> 00:36:19,088 ...is bringing the culture and history of each country in the space station. 466 00:36:19,593 --> 00:36:23,763 And somehow it changes, a little bit, each of us. 467 00:36:24,598 --> 00:36:27,726 HADFI ELD: It's not just an adventuresome place to Iive... 468 00:36:27,893 --> 00:36:31,855 ...but actually a pleasant and challenging and interesting place to live. 469 00:36:32,022 --> 00:36:35,608 I would really like the opportunity to spend a part of my life there. 470 00:36:37,277 --> 00:36:40,863 What struck me, though , was to watch the crew that's living there... 471 00:36:41,657 --> 00:36:46,157 ...to see them view Earth as a separate place. 472 00:36:47,413 --> 00:36:51,625 Earth is something completely separate from them. 473 00:36:55,629 --> 00:36:59,299 It's an interesting step, I think, for humans... 474 00:36:59,466 --> 00:37:02,677 ...to get to the point where you are now separated from your mother... 475 00:37:02,845 --> 00:37:07,345 ...and you are starting to view yourself as more of a single separate entity... 476 00:37:07,808 --> 00:37:11,269 ...heading off into the rest of the universe. 477 00:37:34,251 --> 00:37:38,255 J I M : If we were to have to leave the space station in the Soyuz vehicle... 478 00:37:38,422 --> 00:37:40,465 ...we'd put on the SOKOL suits. 479 00:37:40,632 --> 00:37:44,010 All the material that's in the front is where you get into the suit. 480 00:37:44,178 --> 00:37:48,599 So you gather it up and then wrap two rubber bands around it... 481 00:37:48,766 --> 00:37:52,019 ...to seal it so that it holds pressure. 482 00:37:54,188 --> 00:37:56,481 SUSAN : To get inside is a real challenge. 483 00:37:56,648 --> 00:37:59,359 It's one of these types of capsules where you've got... 484 00:37:59,526 --> 00:38:02,654 ...three humans Iaying side by side like sardines. 485 00:38:09,703 --> 00:38:13,331 The Russians, on occasion , do provide two Soyuz spacecraft... 486 00:38:13,499 --> 00:38:15,667 ...and there's usually just one prime parking spot. 487 00:38:15,834 --> 00:38:17,877 So we need to do a bit of choreography... 488 00:38:18,045 --> 00:38:21,298 ...in order to get the right Soyuz in the right place. 489 00:38:23,884 --> 00:38:28,054 All three crew members need to be in the Soyuz in the event there's a risk... 490 00:38:28,222 --> 00:38:31,225 ...of needing to make an emergency de-orbit. 491 00:38:31,391 --> 00:38:35,728 The trickiest part was the re-docking , where you go into a different port... 492 00:38:35,896 --> 00:38:40,233 ...and you've got a different point of view of the space station than you had before. 493 00:38:41,735 --> 00:38:45,196 All of us double-checked , triple-checked everything ... 494 00:38:45,364 --> 00:38:48,241 ...to make sure that when we got to the new docking port... 495 00:38:48,408 --> 00:38:51,828 ...that we were going to have the ability to get back inside. 496 00:38:51,995 --> 00:38:55,081 That, to me, was the most tense part. 497 00:38:58,752 --> 00:39:02,672 Things have been known to break on the outside of the space station. 498 00:39:03,340 --> 00:39:07,840 You have to have a way to get outside and repair the item. 499 00:39:12,182 --> 00:39:15,226 An airlock is required to be able to do that. 500 00:39:16,311 --> 00:39:19,105 The station robotic arm is what I used ... 501 00:39:19,273 --> 00:39:22,651 ...to Iift the airlock out of the shuttle's payload bay. 502 00:39:27,281 --> 00:39:31,781 J I M : The joint airlock is basically like a room that we can use to go outside. 503 00:39:32,494 --> 00:39:35,705 It's like a porch on your space station. 504 00:39:35,873 --> 00:39:39,251 And its whole function in life is to allow us to do space walks... 505 00:39:39,418 --> 00:39:42,796 ...from the space station while the shuttle is not there. 506 00:39:45,215 --> 00:39:47,717 SUSAN : At the control station where you're operating the arm ... 507 00:39:47,885 --> 00:39:52,385 ...there's no window where you can look and see the arm in motion. 508 00:39:54,266 --> 00:39:58,228 There is no automatic collision control on that robotic arm ... 509 00:39:58,395 --> 00:40:01,898 ...and all of your wits and talents are required ... 510 00:40:02,065 --> 00:40:06,319 ...in order to keep from ramming it into the side of the space station. 511 00:40:07,863 --> 00:40:12,363 Video cameras are our most trustworthy friends. 512 00:40:17,122 --> 00:40:21,000 J I M : It's remarkable to me that we've been able to build these things... 513 00:40:21,168 --> 00:40:23,587 ...thousands of miles apart in different countries... 514 00:40:23,754 --> 00:40:25,505 ...using different systems... 515 00:40:25,672 --> 00:40:29,300 ...and put them together in space, and for them to work. 516 00:40:36,558 --> 00:40:39,644 SUSAN : The robotic arm worked perfectly. 517 00:40:39,811 --> 00:40:44,148 You could not have asked for a more perfect piece of hardware. 518 00:40:51,615 --> 00:40:56,115 Inside, the crew moves the airlock's inner hatch into position. 519 00:40:57,537 --> 00:41:01,457 Now you can take a walk outside the station whenever you need to. 520 00:41:01,625 --> 00:41:04,711 But first, you have to get your body ready. 521 00:41:04,878 --> 00:41:09,048 If you don't, you get crippling pains called the bends. 522 00:41:10,509 --> 00:41:12,427 Now, I'm a diver. 523 00:41:12,594 --> 00:41:17,094 And every diver knows you don't ever wanna get the bends. 524 00:41:17,516 --> 00:41:20,560 Astronaut Mike Gernhardt is also a diver. 525 00:41:20,727 --> 00:41:24,981 Before going outside, he breathes pure oxygen while he's exercising. 526 00:41:25,148 --> 00:41:27,567 That will get the pain-causing nitrogen bubbles... 527 00:41:27,734 --> 00:41:30,653 ...out of his blood much faster. 528 00:41:38,537 --> 00:41:41,289 The front door to the station is now open. 529 00:41:41,456 --> 00:41:43,916 Its construction is ongoing. 530 00:41:44,084 --> 00:41:46,586 And soon, additions from Europe and Japan... 531 00:41:46,753 --> 00:41:51,253 ...will enhance this incredibly versatile and unique laboratory. 532 00:41:51,591 --> 00:41:56,091 Here, we can expand our knowledge of things that affect our daily lives... 533 00:41:57,264 --> 00:42:00,267 ...and learn how natural events and people... 534 00:42:00,434 --> 00:42:03,270 ...are affecting our fragile environment. 535 00:42:03,937 --> 00:42:06,439 That's worth all the risks... 536 00:42:06,606 --> 00:42:09,442 ...and something to celebrate.
