What's the scariest thing you've ever done? Or another way to say it is, what's the most dangerous thing that you've ever done? And why did you do it? I know what the most dangerous thing is that I've ever done because NASA does the math. You look back to the first five shuttle launches, the odds of a catastrophic event during the first five shuttle launches was one in nine. And even when I first flew in the shuttle back in 1995, 74 shuttle flight, the odds were still now that we look back about one in 38 or so -- one in 35, one in 40. Not great odds, so it's a really interesting day when you wake up at the Kennedy Space Center and you're going to go to space that day because you realize by the end of the day you're either going to be floating effortlessly, gloriously in space, or you'll be dead. You go into, at the Kennedy Space Center, the suit-up room, the same room that our childhood heroes got dressed in, that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin got suited in to go ride the Apollo rocket to the moon. And I got my pressure suit built around me and rode down outside in the van heading out to the launchpad -- in the Astro van -- heading out to the launchpad, and as you come around the corner at the Kennedy Space Center, it's normally predawn, and in the distance, lit up by the huge xenon lights, is your spaceship -- the vehicle that is going to take you off the planet. The crew is sitting in the Astro van sort of hushed, almost holding hands, looking at that as it gets bigger and bigger. We ride the elevator up and we crawl in, on your hands and knees into the spaceship, one at a time, and you worm your way up into your chair and plunk yourself down on your back. And the hatch is closed, and suddenly, what has been a lifetime of both dreams and denial is becoming real, something that I dreamed about, in fact, that I chose to do when I was nine years old, is now suddenly within not too many minutes of actually happening. In the astronaut business -- the shuttle is a very complicated vehicle; it's the most complicated flying machine ever built. And in the astronaut business, we have a saying, which is, there is no problem so bad that you can't make it worse. (Laughter) And so you're very conscious in the cockpit; you're thinking about all of the things that you might have to do, all the switches and all the wickets you have to go through. And as the time gets closer and closer, this excitement is building. And then about three and a half minutes before launch, the huge nozzles on the back, like the size of big church bells, swing back and forth and the mass of them is such that it sways the whole vehicle, like the vehicle is alive underneath you, like an elephant getting up off its knees or something. And then about 30 seconds before launch, the vehicle is completely alive -- it is ready to go -- the APUs are running, the computers are all self-contained, it's ready to leave the planet. And 15 seconds before launch, this happens: (Video) Voice: 12, 11, 10, nine, eight, seven, six -- (Space shuttle preparing for takeoff) -- start, two, one, booster ignition, and liftoff of the space shuttle Discovery, returning to the space station, paving the way ... (Space shuttle taking off)
Apa hal paling menakutkan yang pernah Anda lakukan? Atau dengan kata lain, apa hal paling berbahaya yang pernah Anda lakukan? Mengapa Anda melakukannya? Saya tahu hal paling berbahaya yang pernah saya lakukan karena NASA sudah menghitungnya. Saat peluncuran lima <i>shuttle</i> pertama, kemungkinan terjadinya peristiwa buruk selama itu adalah satu dari sembilan. Bahkan, ketika saya terbang dalam <i>shuttle</i> pada 1995, 74 penerbangan <i>shuttle</i>, kemungkinannya dahulu adalah sekitar satu dari 38, atau 35, 40. Tidak besar, hari yang menarik ketika Anda bangun di <i>Kennedy Space Center</i> dan Anda akan pergi ke luar angkasa karena Anda akhirnya sadar, entah Anda akan mengapung dengan mulia di luar angkasa, atau Anda akan tewas. Anda masuk ke <i>Kennedy Space Center</i>, ke ruang berpakaian, ruangan tempat pahlawan masa kecil kita berpakaian, tempat Neil Armstrong dan Buzz Aldrin berpakaian untuk mengendarai roket <i>Apollo</i> ke Bulan. Saya dipakaikan baju khusus tekanan, dan keluar dengan mobil van Astro -- menuju tempat peluncuran, dan ketika Anda hampir tiba di <i>Kennedy Space Center</i>, biasanya sebelum subuh, dan jauh di depan, diterangi oleh cahaya Xenon besar, adalah pesawat luar angkasa Anda -- kendaraan yang akan membawa Anda meninggalkan planet ini. Kru sedang duduk di dalam mobil van dengan tenang, hampir berpegangan tangan, melihat kapalnya yang semakin membesar. Kami menaiki lift dan merangkak masuk dengan tangan dan lutut ke dalam kapal, satu per satu, dan Anda merayap menuju kursi dan duduk di sana. Dan pintu palka ditutup, dan tiba-tiba, mimpi dan penyangkalan seumur hidup menjadi nyata, mimpi saya sejak berumur sembilan tahun, sekarang akan terjadi dalam beberapa menit. Dalam bidang astronaut, <i>Shuttle</i> adalah kendaraan yang rumit; mesin terbang paling rumit yang pernah dibuat. Dan dalam bidang astronaut, kami punya pepatah, yaitu, tidak ada masalah yang sangat buruk yang tidak bisa diperburuk lagi. (Tawa) Jadi, Anda benar-benar sadar di dalam kokpit. Anda berpikir tentang semua hal yang harus dilakukan, semua tombol dan pintu yang harus Anda lewati. Seiring waktu semakin dekat, kegembiraannya membesar. Sekitar tiga menit sebelum peluncuran, ujung pipa besar di belakang, seukuran bel gereja besar, mengayun-ayun hingga massanya menggoyahkan kapalnya, seakan-akan kapalnya hidup di bawah Anda, seperti seekor gajah yang berusaha bangun. Kemudian, 30 detik sebelum peluncuran, kendaraannya sepenuhnya hidup dan siap untuk berangkat. APU-nya bekerja, komputernya bekerja sendiri, dan siap berangkat. 15 detik sebelum peluncuran, ini terjadi: (Video) Suara: 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 Space shuttle bersiap untuk berangkat, mulai, 2 1 penyalaan pendorong, dan peluncuran <i>Space Shuttle Discovery</i>, kembali ke Stasiun Luar Angkasa, membuka jalan ... (<i>Space Shuttle</i> lepas landas)
Chris Hadfield: It is incredibly powerful to be on board one of these things. You are in the grip of something that is vastly more powerful than yourself. It's shaking you so hard you can't focus on the instruments in front of you. It's like you're in the jaws of some enormous dog and there's a foot in the small of your back pushing you into space, accelerating wildly straight up, shouldering your way through the air, and you're in a very complex place -- paying attention, watching the vehicle go through each one of its wickets with a steadily increasing smile on your face. After two minutes, those solid rockets explode off and then you just have the liquid engines, the hydrogen and oxygen, and it's as if you're in a dragster with your foot to the floor and accelerating like you've never accelerated. You get lighter and lighter, the force gets on us heavier and heavier. It feels like someone's pouring cement on you or something. Until finally, after about eight minutes and 40 seconds or so, we are finally at exactly the right altitude, exactly the right speed, the right direction, the engine shut off, and we're weightless. And we're alive.
Chris Hadfield: Ini sungguh luar biasa untuk berada di dalam kapal ini. Anda sedang digenggam oleh sesuatu yang jauh lebih kuat. Ini mengguncang Anda sehingga tidak bisa fokus pada instrumen di depan Anda. Seperti berada di dalam rahang anjing besar, dan ada kaki di punggung bawah Anda yang mendorong ke luar angkasa, melesat dengan cepat ke atas, membelah udara dengan bahu Anda, dan Anda berada di tempat yang sangat kompleks. memperhatikan, melihat kapalnya melampaui tantangannya sementara senyum Anda semakin merekah. Setelah dua menit, roket-roket padat itu lepas dan menyisakan mesin cair, hidrogen dan oksigen, dan ini seperti balap <i>drag</i>, kaki di lantai, dan Anda melaju dengan sangat cepat. Anda menjadi ringan, dan tekanannya menjadi semakin besar. Rasanya seperti seseorang menuang semen pada Anda. Sampai akhirnya, setelah 8 menit 40 detik, kami berada di ketinggian dan kecepatan yang tepat, arah yang benar, mesinnya mati, dan kami mengapung. Dan kami masih hidup. Ini pengalaman luar biasa.
It's an amazing experience. But why would we take that risk? Why would you do something that dangerous?
Tapi, mengapa kami mengambil risiko tersebut? Mengapa Anda mau melakukan hal yang berbahaya itu?
In my case the answer is fairly straightforward. I was inspired as a youngster that this was what I wanted to do. I watched the first people walk on the moon and to me, it was just an obvious thing -- I want to somehow turn myself into that. But the real question is, how do you deal with the danger of it and the fear that comes from it? How do you deal with fear versus danger? And having the goal in mind, thinking about where it might lead, directed me to a life of looking at all of the small details to allow this to become possible, to be able to launch and go help build a space station where you are on board a million-pound creation that's going around the world at five miles a second, eight kilometers a second, around the world 16 times a day, with experiments on board that are teaching us what the substance of the universe is made of and running 200 experiments inside. But maybe even more importantly, allowing us to see the world in a way that is impossible through any other means, to be able to look down and have -- if your jaw could drop, it would -- the jaw-dropping gorgeousness of the turning orb like a self-propelled art gallery of fantastic, constantly changing beauty that is the world itself. And you see, because of the speed, a sunrise or a sunset every 45 minutes for half a year. And the most magnificent part of all that is to go outside on a spacewalk. You are in a one-person spaceship that is your spacesuit, and you're going through space with the world. It's an entirely different perspective, you're not looking up at the universe, you and the Earth are going through the universe together. And you're holding on with one hand, looking at the world turn beside you. It's roaring silently with color and texture as it pours by mesmerizingly next to you. And if you can tear your eyes away from that and you look under your arm down at the rest of everything, it's unfathomable blackness, with a texture you feel like you could stick your hand into. and you are holding on with one hand, one link to the other seven billion people. And I was outside on my first spacewalk
Bagi saya, jawabannya jelas. Saya terinspirasi sebagai kaum muda bahwa ini yang ingin saya lakukan. Saya menonton orang pertama berjalan di bulan dan bagi saya, ini hal yang jelas -- Entah mengapa, saya ingin menjadi seperti itu. Tapi, pertanyaannya, bagaimana Anda menghadapi bahaya dan ketakutan yang datang dengan itu? Bagaimana Anda menghadapi ketakutan dan bahaya? Dengan memikirkan tujuannya dan kemungkinan hasilnya, saya memperhatikan detail-detailnya untuk memungkinkan kejadian ini, agar bisa meluncurkan dan membangun stasiun luar angkasa, tempat Anda menaiki kreasi sejuta <i>poundsterling</i> yang kecepatannya 5 mil per detik, 8 kilometer per detik, mengelilingi dunia 16 kali dalam sehari, dengan eksperimen di dalamnya yang mengajari kita tentang zat yang menyusun alam semesta dan menjalankan 200 eksperimen di dalamnya. Tapi, mungkin, lebih pentingnya, memungkinkan kita untuk melihat dunia lewat cara satu-satunya, untuk bisa melihat ke bawah dan terkesima melihat kecantikan bola yang berputar seperti galeri seni fantastis yang melaju dengan sendirinya, kecantikan yang terus berubah, yaitu dunia kita. Karena kecepatannya, matahari terbit dan terbenam setiap 45 menit selama setengah tahun. Dan bagian yang paling agung adalah saat keluar untuk berjalan di luar angkasa. Anda berada di kapal luar angkasa untuk satu orang, yaitu kostum astronaut Anda, dan mengarungi luar angkasa bersama Bumi. Perspektif ini sangat berbeda, alam semesta bukan di atas, Anda dan Bumi mengarungi alam semesta bersama-sama. Anda berpegangan dengan satu tangan, melihat dunia berputar di samping Anda. Dunia ini diam-diam menuangkan warna dan tekstur dengan indah di samping Anda. Jika Anda bisa berpaling dari situ, dan melihat ke bawah lengan Anda, terdapat kegelapan yang sangat luas yang teksturnya yang Anda kira bisa disentuh. Dan Anda berpegangan dengan satu tangan, satu penghubung kepada tujuh miliar orang lainnya. Saat saya berjalan di luar angkasa, mata kiri saya buta,
when my left eye went blind, and I didn't know why. Suddenly my left eye slammed shut in great pain and I couldn't figure out why my eye wasn't working. I was thinking, what do I do next? I thought, well maybe that's why we have two eyes, so I kept working. But unfortunately, without gravity, tears don't fall. So you just get a bigger and bigger ball of whatever that is mixed with your tears on your eye until eventually, the ball becomes so big that the surface tension takes it across the bridge of your nose like a tiny little waterfall and goes "goosh" into your other eye, and now I was completely blind outside the spaceship.
dan saya tidak tahu mengapa. Tiba-tiba, mata kiri saya menutup dan sakit, dan saya tidak tahu mengapa mata saya tidak berfungsi. Apa yang akan saya lakukan? Saya kira, itulah gunanya dua mata, jadi saya terus bekerja. Tapi, sayangnya, tanpa gravitasi, air mata tidak menetes. Jadi, ada bola membesar yang tercampur dengan air mata di mata Anda, hingga bolanya menjadi sangat besar, hingga tekanannya membawanya ke pangkal hidung Anda seperti air terjun kecil, dan memasuki mata satunya, dan sekarang saya sepenuhnya buta di luar kapal luar angkasa. Apa hal menakutkan yang pernah Anda lakukan?
So what's the scariest thing you've ever done? (Laughter) Maybe it's spiders. A lot of people are afraid of spiders. I think you should be afraid of spiders -- spiders are creepy and they've got long, hairy legs, and spiders like this one, the brown recluse -- it's horrible. If a brown recluse bites you, you end with one of these horrible, big necrotic things on your leg and there might be one right now sitting on the chair behind you, in fact. And how do you know? And so a spider lands on you, and you go through this great, spasmy attack because spiders are scary. But then you could say, well is there a brown recluse sitting on the chair beside me or not? I don't know. Are there brown recluses here? So if you actually do the research, you find out that in the world there are about 50,000 different types of spiders, and there are about two dozen that are venomous out of 50,000. And if you're in Canada, because of the cold winters here in B.C., there's about 720, 730 different types of spiders and there's one -- one -- that is venomous, and its venom isn't even fatal, it's just kind of like a nasty sting. And that spider -- not only that, but that spider has beautiful markings on it, it's like "I'm dangerous. I got a big radiation symbol on my back, it's the black widow." So, if you're even slightly careful you can avoid running into the one spider -- and it lives close the ground, you're walking along, you are never going to go through a spider web where a black widow bites you. Spider webs like this, it doesn't build those, it builds them down in the corners. And its a black widow because the female spider eats the male; it doesn't care about you. So in fact, the next time you walk into a spiderweb, you don't need to panic and go with your caveman reaction. The danger is entirely different than the fear.
(Tawa) Mungkin itu laba-laba. Banyak orang takut akan itu. Saya kira Anda perlu menakutinya -- mereka menakutkan dan kakinya panjang dan berbulu, dan laba-laba ini, <i>brown recluse</i> -- ini buruk sekali. Jika ini menggigit Anda, luka mengerikan ini akan muncul di kaki Anda, dan mungkin sekarang ada di kursi di belakang Anda. Bagaimana Anda tahu? Ketika laba-laba hinggap, Anda langsung refleks menyerang karena laba-laba menakutkan. Lalu, Anda pikir, apakah ada <i>brown recluse</i> di kursi sebelah saya? Saya tidak tahu, adakah? Jika Anda mencari tahunya, di dunia, ada 50.000 tipe laba-laba, dan hanya dua lusin dari itu yang berbisa. Di Kanada, karena musim dingin, ada sekitar 720-730 tipe laba-laba, dan hanya satu yang berbisa, dan bisa nya pun tidak fatal, hanya sengatan yang menyakitkan. Dan laba-laba itu juga punya tampilan yang cantik, seperti "Saya bahaya, saya ada simbol radiasi di punggung saya," ini <i>black widow</i>. Dengan sedikit waspada, Anda bisa menghindari laba-laba ini -- dan ini hidup dekat tanah. Saat berjalan, Anda tidak mungkin menabrak jaring <i>black widow</i>. Jaring ini bukan miliknya, laba-laba ini membangunnya di pojok. Namanya <i>black widow</i> karena betinanya memakan jantannya; ini tidak peduli dengan Anda. Faktanya, jika nanti Anda menabrak jaring laba-laba, jangan panik dan bereaksi seperti orang gila. Bahayanya berbeda dari ketakutannya.
How do you get around it, though? How do you change your behavior? Well, next time you see a spiderweb, have a good look, make sure it's not a black widow spider, and then walk into it. And then you see another spiderweb and walk into that one. It's just a little bit of fluffy stuff. It's not a big deal. And the spider that may come out is no more threat to you than a lady bug or a butterfly. And then I guarantee you if you walk through 100 spiderwebs you will have changed your fundamental human behavior, your caveman reaction, and you will now be able to walk in the park in the morning and not worry about that spiderweb -- or into your grandma's attic or whatever, into your own basement. And you can apply this to anything.
Bagaimana cara mengubah sikap Anda? Kala nanti melihat jaring laba-laba, pastikan itu bukan <i>black widow</i>, dan tabrakkan diri Anda ke itu. Lalu, Anda melihat jaring lain, dan tabrak itu juga. Itu hanya benda halus, bukan masalah besar. Laba-laba yang keluar bukan ancaman yang lebih besar dari kumbang kepik atau kupu-kupu. Dan saya jamin, setelah menabrak 100 jaring, Sikap dasar dan reaksi gila Anda sudah berubah, dan sekarang Anda bisa jalan di taman pada pagi hari tanpa mencemaskan jaring itu -- atau naik ke loteng nenek, atau ke basemen Anda. Anda bisa menerapkan ini ke apa pun. Jika Anda berjalan di luar angkasa dan menjadi buta,
If you're outside on a spacewalk and you're blinded, your natural reaction would be to panic, I think. It would make you nervous and worried. But we had considered all the venom, and we had practiced with a whole variety of different spiderwebs. We knew everything there is to know about the spacesuit and we trained underwater thousands of times. And we don't just practice things going right, we practice things going wrong all the time, so that you are constantly walking through those spiderwebs. And not just underwater, but also in virtual reality labs with the helmet and the gloves so you feel like it's realistic. So when you finally actually get outside on a spacewalk, it feels much different than it would if you just went out first time. And even if you're blinded, your natural, panicky reaction doesn't happen. Instead you kind of look around and go, "Okay, I can't see, but I can hear, I can talk, Scott Parazynski is out here with me. He could come over and help me." We actually practiced incapacitated crew rescue, so he could float me like a blimp and stuff me into the airlock if he had to. I could find my own way back. It's not nearly as big a deal. And actually, if you keep on crying for a while, whatever that gunk was that's in your eye starts to dilute and you can start to see again, and Houston, if you negotiate with them, they will let you then keep working. We finished everything on the spacewalk and when we came back inside, Jeff got some cotton batting and took the crusty stuff around my eyes, and it turned out it was just the anti-fog, sort of a mixture of oil and soap, that got in my eye. And now we use Johnson's No More Tears, which we probably should've been using right from the very beginning. (Laughter)
reaksi alami Anda mungkin akan panik. Ini akan membuat gugup dan khawatir. Tapi, kita telah mempertimbangkan semua bisa ularnya, dan kita telah berlatih dengan banyak jaring laba-laba. Kami telah tahu semuanya tentang kostum astronautnya dan kami sudah banyak berlatih di bawah air. Dan kami juga sudah melatih rencana cadangannya, Anda sudah menabrakkan jaring laba-laba tersebut. Tidak hanya di bawah air, tapi juga di lab <i>virtual reality</i> dengan helm dan sarung tangan agar ini terasa realistis. Jadi, ketika Anda akhirnya berjalan di luar angkasa, rasanya sangat berbeda jika baru pertama kali. Dan bahkan jika buta, reaksi panik alami Anda tidak muncul. Anda menoleh dan berpikir, "OK, saya tidak bisa melihat, tapi saya bisa mendengar dan berbicara, Scott P. sedang bersama saya. dia bisa membantu saya." Kami juga berlatih menyelamatkan kru yang lumpuh, jadi dia bisa mengapungkan dan memasukkan saya ke ruang <i>airlock</i> jika perlu. Saya bisa kembali sendiri. Ini tidak sulit. Sebenarnya, jika Anda terus menangis, kotoran yang ada di dalam mata akan larut dan Anda bisa melihat lagi, dan dengan negosiasi, Houston akan mengizinkan Anda bekerja. Setelah menyelesaikan semuanya, kami kembali ke dalam, Jeff memakai kapas untuk mengambil kotoran di sekitar mata saya, dan ternyata itu cairan anti-kabut, campuran minyak dan sabun yang memasuki mata saya. Dan sekarang, kami memakai <i>Johnson's No More Tears</i>, yang mungkin seharusnya kami pakai dari awal. (Tawa)
But the key to that is by looking at the difference between perceived danger and actual danger, where is the real risk? What is the real thing that you should be afraid of? Not just a generic fear of bad things happening. You can fundamentally change your reaction to things so that it allows you to go places and see things and do things that otherwise would be completely denied to you ...
Namun, kuncinya adalah membedakan antara rasa bahaya dan bahaya sebenarnya, di mana risiko nyatanya? Apa hal yang harusnya Anda takutkan? Bukan ketakutan biasa akan terjadinya hal buruk. Anda bisa mengubah reaksi Anda terhadap sesuatu agar Anda bisa bergerak maju dan melakukan sesuatu yang biasanya tidak mungkin.
where you could see the hardpan south of the Sahara, or you can see New York City in a way that is almost dreamlike, or the unconscious gingham of Eastern Europe fields or the Great Lakes as a collection of small puddles. You can see the fault lines of San Francisco and the way the water pours out under the bridge, just entirely different than any other way that you could have if you had not found a way to conquer your fear. You see a beauty that otherwise never would have happened.
Di sini, Anda bisa melihat ujung selatan Sahara, atau melihat New York City seperti dalam mimpi, atau pola kotak-kotak milik ladang Eropa Timur, atau <i>Great Lakes</i> yang terlihat seperti kumpulan kubangan kecil. Anda bisa lihat garis patah-patah San Francisco dan air yang mengalir di bawah jembatannya, sepenuhnya berbeda dari cara lainnya apabila Anda tidak menaklukkan ketakutan Anda. Anda melihat kecantikan yang tidak terlihat dengan cara lain.
It's time to come home at the end. This is our spaceship, the Soyuz, that little one. Three of us climb in, and then this spaceship detaches from the station and falls into the atmosphere. These two parts here actually melt, we jettison them and they burn up in the atmosphere. The only part that survives is the little bullet that we're riding in, and it falls into the atmosphere, and in essence you are riding a meteorite home, and riding meteorites is scary, and it ought to be. But instead of riding into the atmosphere just screaming, like you would if suddenly you found yourself riding a meteorite back to Earth -- (Laughter) -- instead, 20 years previously we had started studying Russian, and then once you learn Russian, then we learned orbital mechanics in Russian, and then we learned vehicle control theory, and then we got into the simulator and practiced over and over and over again. And in fact, you can fly this meteorite and steer it and land in about a 15-kilometer circle anywhere on the Earth. So in fact, when our crew was coming back into the atmosphere inside the Soyuz, we weren't screaming, we were laughing; it was fun. And when the great big parachute opened, we knew that if it didn't open there's a second parachute, and it runs on a nice little clockwork mechanism. So we came back, we came thundering back to Earth and this is what it looked like to land in a Soyuz, in Kazakhstan. (Video) Reporter: And you can see one of those search and recovery helicopters, once again that helicopter part of dozen such Russian Mi-8 helicopters. Touchdown -- 3:14 and 48 seconds, a.m. Central Time. CH: And you roll to a stop as if someone threw your spaceship at the ground and it tumbles end over end, but you're ready for it you're in a custom-built seat, you know how the shock absorber works. And then eventually the Russians reach in, drag you out, plunk you into a chair, and you can now look back at what was an incredible experience. You have taken the dreams of that nine-year-old boy, which were impossible and dauntingly scary, dauntingly terrifying, and put them into practice, and figured out a way to reprogram yourself, to change your primal fear so that it allowed you to come back with a set of experiences and a level of inspiration for other people that never could have been possible otherwise. Just to finish, they asked me to play that guitar. I know this song, and it's really a tribute to the genius of David Bowie himself, but it's also, I think, a reflection of the fact that we are not machines exploring the universe, we are people, and we're taking that ability to adapt and that ability to understand and the ability to take our own self-perception into a new place.

Sekarang waktunya pulang. Ini kapal kami, <i>Soyuz</i>, yang kecil. Kami bertiga masuk, dan kapal ini lepas dari stasiunnya dan memasuki atmosfer. Kedua bagian ini sebenarnya meleleh, kami buang dan mereka terbakar. Bagian yang selamat hanyalah peluru yang kami kendarai ini, dan ini memasuki atmosfer. Intinya, Anda pulang menaiki meteorit, dan itu menakutkan, sudah seharusnya. Tapi, alih-alih memasuki atmosfer sambil berteriak seperti Anda ketika menaiki meteorit ke Bumi, (Tawa) 20 tahun sebelumnya, kami mulai mempelajari bahasa Rusia, dan juga mempelajari mekanika orbit dalam bahasa Rusia, lalu kami mempelajari teori mengendalikan kendaraan, dan memasuki simulator untuk berlatih terus menerus. Nyatanya, meteorit ini bisa diatur untuk mendarat di daerah 15 kilometer di mana pun di Bumi. Bahkan, ketika kru kami memasuki atmosfer dalam <i>Soyuz</i>, kami tidak berteriak, kami tertawa; itu asik. Jika parasut besarnya gagal terbuka, akan ada parasut kedua, dan mekanisme kerjanya seperti mesin jam. Jadi, kami kembali ke Bumi dengan keras, dan ini rasanya untuk mendarat dalam <i>Soyuz</i> di Kazakhstan. (Video) Reporter: Anda bisa lihat salah satu helikopter SAR, bagian dari selusin helikopter Mi-8 Rusia. Pendaratan -- 3:14 dan 48 detik, pagi hari, waktu sentral. CH: Anda berguling sampai berhenti, seakan-akan Anda dibanting ke tanah, tapi Anda sudah siap di kursi khusus peredam goncangan. Dan akhirnya, orang Rusia datang dan menarik Anda, memberi Anda tempat duduk, dan Anda berpikir betapa kerennya pengalaman itu. Anda membawa mimpi anak sembilan tahun tadi, yang dulunya tidak mungkin dan sangat mengerikan, dan mempraktikkannya, dan menemukan cara untuk mengubah diri Anda, mengubah ketakutan primitif Anda agar bisa memperoleh pengalaman dan inspirasi bagi orang lain yang dahulu tidak mungkin. Terakhir, mereka menyuruh saya memainkan gitar itu. Saya tahu lagu ini, ini adalah sebuah penghormatan bagi sang jenius, David Bowie, tapi ini juga refleksi bahwa kita bukan mesin yang menjelajahi alam semesta, kita adalah manusia, dan kita membawa kemampuan beradaptasi, memahami, dan kemampuan membawa persepsi kita ke tempat yang baru.
