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)
Cila eshte gjeja me e frikshme qe keni bere ndonjehere? Ose nje menyre tjeter per te thene kete eshte, cila eshte gjeja me e rrezikshme qe keni bere ndonjehere? Dhe perse e bete ate? Une, e di se cila esht gjeja me e rrezikshme qe qe kam bere ndonjehere sepse NASA i ka bere llogaritjet. Shikoni pas tek pese leshimet e para te anijeve kozmike, gjasat qe te ndodhte nje ngjarje katastrofike gjate pese leshimeve te para ishin nje ne nente. Madje edhe kur une fluturova per here te pare me anije kozmike ne 1995, fluturimi i 74 me anije kozmike, gjasat ishin, tani qe ne shohim pas, rreth nje ne 38, nje ne 35, nje ne 40 Jo nje rastesi e madhe, keshtu qe eshte nje dite shume interesante kur zgjohesh ne Qendren Hapesinore Kenedi dhe ti e kupton se do shkosh ne hapesire ate dite sepse nga fundi i saj ti kupton se do te jesh ose duke fluturuar, lehtesisht dhe triumfues ne hapesire, ose do te vdesesh. Ti shkon, ne Qendren Hapesinore Kenedi, ne dhomen e kostumeve, ne te njejten dhome ku heronjte e tu te femijerise visheshin, aty ku jane veshur dhe Neil Armstrong dhe Buzz Aldrin per te shkuar ne Hene me anijen Apollo. Dhe kam rreth meje kostumin e presionit dhe dal jashte me furgon e i drejtohem vendit te nisjes-- ne furgonin Astro -- duke u drejtuar drejt vendit te nisjes, dhe teksa kthehesh ne kthinen e Qendres Hapesinore Kenedi, eshte normalisht para agimit, dhe ne distance, ndricuar nga drita te stermedha neoni, eshte anija jote kozmike -- mjeti qe do te largoje nga planeti. Ekuipazhi eshte ulur ne furgonin Astro te heshtur, pothuaj te kapur perdore duke pare ate qe po behet gjithmone e me e madhe ne ngjitemi siper me ashensor dhe perkulemi, kembadorazi drejt anijes kozmike, njeri pas tjetrit, dhe zhvendosesh drejt karriges tende dhe perthyhesh mbrapa. Dhe kapanxha eshte mbyllur, dhe papritmas, ajo qe ka qene gjate gjithe jetes enderra dhe refuzime po behet realitet, dicka per te cilen une kam enderruar, ne fakt, ajo qe une zgjodha te bej kur isha nente vjec, tani papritmas per disa minuta do te ndodhe ne te vertete. Ne biznesin e astronauteve-- anija kozmike eshte nje mjet shume i komplikuar; eshte makina fluturuese me e komplikuar e ndertuar ndonjehere. Ne biznesin e astronauteve, ne kemi nje thenie, e cila eshte, nuk ka problem kaq te keq qe ti nuk mund ta besh edhe me keq. (Te qeshura) Dhe keshtu jeni i ndergjegjshem ne kabine; po mendoni per te gjitha gjerat qe do te beni, te gjtha celesat dhe hapat qe duhet te kaloni. Dhe nderkohe qe koha afrohet emocionet shtohen. Dhe tre minuta e gjysem perpara leshimit, hunda e madhe ne pjesen e pasme, me permasat e zileve te medha te kishave, lekundet para dhe mbrapa dhe masa e tyre eshte kaq e madhe sa lekund te gjithe mjetin, sikur mjeti te ishte gjalle poshte teje, ashtu si nje elefant qe ngrihet ne gjunje. Dhe me pas, 30 sekonda perpara leshimit, anija eshte plotesisht e gjalle -- gati per tu nisur -- APU po punojne, kompjuterat jane vete-funksionues gati per tu larguar nga planeti. Dhe 15 sekonda perpara leshimit ndodh kjo: (Video) Zeri: 12, 11, 10, nente, tete, shtate, gjashte -- (Anija kozmike pergatitet per t'u ngritur) -- fillo, dy, nje, ndizen motoret, dhe ngrihet anija kozmike Discovery, duke u kthyer tek stacioni hapesinor, duke hapur rrugen (Anija kozmike po ngrihet)
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.
CH: Eshte pabesueshmerisht e fuqishme te jesh ne bord te njeres prej ketyre gjerave. Ju jeni ne kthetrat e dickaje qe eshte me e fuqishme sesa ju. Po te lekund kaq fort saqe nuk mund te fokusohesh tek instrumentat perpara teje. Eshte sikur te jesh tek nofullat e nje qeni shume te madh dhe eshte nje kembe mbrapa kurrizit tend qe te shtyn drejt hapesires, e cila e shton shpejtesine drejt, duke te shtyre drejt ajrit, dhe ti je ne nje vend shume kompleks-- duke i kushtuar vemendje, duke pare mjetin duke kaluar nje e nga nje secilen prej tyre me nje buzeqeshje gjithmone e ne rritje ne fytyren tende. Pas dy minutash, ato raketa te qendrueshme shperthejne dhe me pas ke vetem motoret e lengshem, hidrogjenin dhe oksigjenin, eshte sikur te jeni ne nje pershpejtues me kembet ne dysheme dhe duke e rritur shpejtesine pa e perdorur pershpejtuesin. Behesh gjithmone e me i lehte, forcat behen gjithmone e me te forta. Ndjehet sikur dikush po hedh cimento mbi ty ose dicka te ngjashme. Dhe ne fund, pas rreth tete minutash e 40 seconda ne jemi me ne fund ne lartesine ekzakte, me shpejtesine ekzakte, ne drejtimin e duhur, motoret jane fikur, dhe ne jemi te papeshe. Dhe ne jemi gjalle.
It's an amazing experience. But why would we take that risk? Why would you do something that dangerous?
Eshte nje ekperience e pabesueshme. Por perse do ta ndermerrnim nje risk te tille? Pse do ta benit nje gje kaq te rrezikshme?
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
Ne rastin tim pergjigja eshte e drejteperdrejte. Une jam inspiruar qe ne femijeri se kjo ishte ajo qe doja te beja. Shikoja njerezit e pare qe shkuan ne hene dhe per mua ishte nje gje e qarte -- Doja qe ne njefare menyre te kthehesha ne dicka te tille. Por pyetja reale eshte, sesi e perballon nje rrezik te tille dhe friken qe vjen me te? Sesi perballesh me friken kunder rrezikut? Dhe te kesh nje qellim ne koke, te mendosh se ku do te te coje kjo, me ka drejtuar mua ne nje jete qe e shikoja te gjitha detajet e vogla qe te lejoja qe kjo te behej e mundur, te mund te leshohesha e te shkoja te ndihmoj ne ndertimin e stacionit hapesinor kudo ku je ne bordin e nje krijimi me nje peshe prej 450 mije kg qe shkon perrreth botes me nje shpejtesi 5 milje ne sekonde, tete kilometra ne sekonde perreth botes 16 here ne dite, me eksperimente ne borde te cilet na mesojne se nga cfare substancash eshte i perbere universi dhe te realizosh 200 ekperimente brenda. Por ajo qe ka edhe me shume rendesi, e cila na lejon ne te shikojme boten ne nje menyre qe eshte e pamundur nepermjet menyrave te tjera, te jemi ne gjendje te shohim poshte dhe te kemi--nese nofullat tuaja mund te binin, do te binin-- renia e nofullave ne orbiten rrotulluese magjepese si nje galeri fantasike arti vetelevizese, e cila ne menyre konstante ndryshon bukurine qe eshte vete bota. Dhe per shkak te shpejtesise, ju shikoni nje lindje dhe nje perendim dielli cdo 45 minuta per gjysme e vitit. Dhe pjesa me magjike e gjithe kesaj eshte te shkosh jashte per nje ecje ne hapesire. Je ne nje anije kozmike per nje person qe eshte kostumi yt, dhe po shkon rreth hapesires bashke me boten. Eshte nje perspektive plotesisht ndryshe, ti nuk po shikon universin, ti dhe Toka po shkoni drejt universit se bashku. Dhe je duke u mbajtur me nje dore, duke veshtruar boten e cila rrotullohet prane teje. Eshte nje zhurme e shurdhet me ngjyra dhe tekstura te cilat derdhen duke te te hipnotizuar. Dhe nese mundesh te largosh syte nga kjo dhe sheh poshte krahut tend poshte gjithckaje, eshte nje erresire e padepertueshme, me nje teksture te cilen e ndjen sikur mund te vendosesh duart ne te. dhe ti po mbahesh me nje dore, dhe tjetra te lidh me shtate miliard njerez. Une isha jashte ne shetitjen time te pare ne hapesire
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.
kur u verbova ne syrin tim te majte, dhe nuk e dija pse. Papritmas syri im i majte u erresua ne dhimbje te medha dhe nuk mund te zbuloja se pse syri im nuk po punonte. Po mendoja, cfare te bej tani? Mendova, prandaj kemi dy sy, keshtu qe vazhdova te punoja. Por fatkeqesisht, pa gravitet, lotet nuk bien. Keshtu qe merr nje top gjithmone e me te madh apo cfaredo qe eshte te perzier me lotet e tu derisa rrjedhimisht, topi behet gjithmone e me i madh saqe tensioni i siperfaqjes e con ate drejt hundes tende si nje ujvare te vogel dhe shkon "drejt" ne syrin tjeter, dhe tani isha komplet i verbuar jashte anijes kozmike.
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.
E pra, cila eshte gjeja me e frikshme qe keni bere ndonjehere? (Te qeshura) Ndoshta jane merimangat. Shume njerez kane frike nga merimangat. Une mendoj se duhet te keni frike nga merimangat -- merimangat jane te frikshme dhe kane kembe te gjata, me push dhe merimanga si kjo, merimanga violine -- eshte e tmerrshme. Nese nje merimange e tille ju pickon, perfundon me ndonje nga keto gjerat nekrotike te tmerrshme ne kemben tuaj dhe mund te jete njera tani e ulur ne karrigen mbrapa jush ne fakt. Dhe si e dini? Keshtu qe nje merimange te pickon dhe ti shkon drejt kesaj gjeje fantastike, nje atak spazme sepse merimangat jane te frikshme. Pastaj ju mund te thoni, eshte nje merimange violine e ulur ne karrigen pas meje apo jo? Nuk e di. A ka merimanga violine ketu? Nese beni kerkim, do te zbuloni se ne bote ka rreth 50 mije lloje te ndryshme merimangash, dhe ka rreth dy dyzina te cilat jane helmuese nga 50 mije. Dhe nese je ne Kanada, per shkak te dimrave te ftohte perpara lindjes se Krishtit, ishin rreth 720, 730 tipe te ndryshme merimangash dhe ja ku eshte nje -- nje -- qe eshte helmuese, dhe helmi i saj nuk eshte fatal, eshte thjesht nje shpim i shpifur. Dhe ajo merimange -- jo vetem kaq, po merimanga ka shenja te bukura, eshte si "une jam e rrezikshme, kam nje simbol te madh rrrezatimi ne shpine, eshte vejusha e zeze." Keshtu qe nese je pak i kujdesshem mund te shmangesh te ndeshesh me nje merimange -- ajo ndodhet ne dysheme, ti po ecen aty, ti nuk do te ndeshesh kurre me nje rrjete merimange kur nje merimange e zeze te pickon. Rrjeta te tilla te merimangave, nuk i nderton ato siper, i nderton ato poshte neper cepa. Dhe eshte merimange e zeze sepse merimanga e zeze ha merimangen mashkull; nuk interesohet per ty. Keshtu ne fakt, heren tjeter qe do te ecesh ne nje rrjet merimange, nuk duhet te shkosh ne panik dhe te reagosh si nje njeri shpelle. Rreziku eshte totalisht i ndryshem nga frika,
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.
Si sillesh ti, pavaresisht? Si e ndryshon sjelljen tende? Heren tjeter qe ndeshesh me nje rrjete merimange, shikoje mire, sigurohu qe nuk eshte nje merimange e zeze, dhe me pas ec mbi te. Dhe me pas shikon nje rrjete tjeter merimange dhe ecen mbi te perseri. Eshte thjesht nje gje me gezof. Nuk eshte nje gje kushedi cfare. Dhe merimanga qe mund te dale prej saj nuk eshte nje kercenim per ty sesa c'eshte nje buburrec apo nje flutur. Dhe me pas une ju garantoj se nese ecni drejt 100 rrjeta merimangash ti do te kesh ndryshuar sjelljen tende themelore njerezore, reagimin tend si njeri shpelle, dhe tani do te jesh ne gjendje te ecesh ne park ne mengjes dhe te mos shqetesohesh nga rrjetat e merimangave -- apo ne qilarin e gjyshes apo kudo, ne bodrumin tend. Dhe mund ta perdoresh kete kudo.
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)
Nese ecen ne hapesire dhe je i verber, reagimi yt me natyror do te jete paniku, mendoj. Do te te bej ty nervoz dhe do te te shqetesoje. Por ne kemi marre ne konsiderate te gjithe helmin, dhe jemi praktikuar me lloje te ndryshme dhe te shumellojshme rrjete merimangash. Ne dime gjithcka qe eshte per tu ditur per kostumet hapesinore dhe jemi trajnuar nen uje me mijera here. dhe ne nuk praktikohemi me gjerat qe shkojne mire, ne praktikohemi me gjera qe shkojne keq gjate gjithe kohes, keshtu qe jeni gjate gjithe kohes duke ecur mbi keto rrjeta merimangash Dhe jo vetem nen uje, por edhe ne laboratore me nje realitet virtual me helmeta dhe me dorashka keshtu qe ju e ndjeni qe eshte reale. Keshtu qe kur me ne fund del me te vertete ne hapesire, do te ndjehej shume here me ndryshe sesa do te ndjehej nese shkon per here te pare. dhe nese ti je i verber, reagimi yt natyror, paniku nuk ndodh. Ne te kundert ti shikon rreth e rrotull dhe e le kete, "Mire, une nuk mund te shoh, por mund te degjoj, mund te eci, Scott Parazynski eshte atje jashte me mua. Ai mund te vije dhe te me ndihmoje." Ne te vertete kemi praktikuar shpetim ekuipazhi te paafte keshtu qe ai mund te vinte tek une si nje aeroplan dhe te me conte ne kabine nese duhej. Ose mund te gjeja rrugen time te kthimit. Nuk ishte dhe aq shume e veshtire. Dhe ne te vertete, nese vazhdon te qash per pak kohe, cfaredo mase qe ishte tek syri yt fillon te tretet dhe ti fillon te shikosh perseri, dhe Houston, nese mund te negociosh me ta, ata mund te te lejojne te vazhdosh te punosh. Ne perfunduam cdo gje ne hapesire dhe me pas kur u kthyem brenda, Jeff mori disa kunja me pambuk dhe hoqi ate gjene e forte nga syri im, dhe doli se ishte vetem kunder-mjegull, nje perzierje vaji dhe sapuni, qe shkoi tek syri im. Dhe tani perdorim Johnson Pa Lot, te cilet duhet ta kishim perdorur qe nga fillimi. (Te qeshura)
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 ...
Por celesi i kesaj eshte duke pare diferencen ndermjet rrezikut te perceptuar dhe atij te vertete, cili eshte rreziku i vertete? Cila eshte gjeja e vertete nga e cila duhet te kesh frike? Jo vetem nje frike e pergjithshme e gjerave te keqinja qe mund te ndodhin. Ne menyre rrenjesore mund te ndryshosh reagimin tend ndaj gjerave keshtu qe te lejon te shkosh ne vende dhe te besh dhe te shikosh gjera qe ne te kundertetn do te ishin komplet te ndaluara per ty
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.
ku mund te shikosh token e Jugut te Saharase, mund te shikosh New York City ne nje menyre qe eshte pothuaj enderr, ose fushat me kuadrate te Evropes Lindore ose Liqenet e Medha si nje koleksion pellgjesh te vogla. Mund te shikosh linjat e gureve ne San Francisco dhe menyra sesi uji rrjedh nen ure, pothuaj ne menyre te ndryshme sesa cdo menyre tjeter qe ti mund nese ti nuk do te kishe gjetur nje menyre per te pushtuar frikat e tua. Mund te shikosh nje bukuri qe ne te kundertetn nuk do te kishte ndodhur kurre.
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. (Music) ♫ This is Major Tom to ground control ♫ ♫ I've left forevermore ♫ ♫ And I'm floating in a most peculiar way ♫ ♫ And the stars look very different today ♫ ♫ For here am I floating in the tin can ♫ ♫ A last glimpse of the world ♫ ♫ Planet Earth is blue and there's so much left to do ♫ (Music) Fear not. (Applause) That's very nice of you. Thank you very much. Thank you.
Eshte koha per tu kthyer ne shtepi me ne fund. Kjo eshte anija jone kozmike, Soyuz, ajo e vogla. Tre nga ne ngjiten ne te, dhe me pas kjo anije kozmike largohet nga stacioni dhe bie ne atmosfere. Keto dy pjese ketu ne te vertete shkrihen, ne i hedhim ato dhe me pas i djegim ne atmosfere. E vetmja pjese qe mbijeton eshte plumbi i vogel qe ne kemi hipur, dhe bie ne atmosfere, dhe ne esence ne i kemi hipur nje meteoriti per ne shtepi, dhe te hipesh mbi meteorite eshte e frikshme, si duhet te jete. Por ne te kundert nga fluturimi ne atmosfere duke uleritur, si do te beje paprimtas e gjen veten duke fluturuar mbi nje meteorit drejt tokes -- (Te qeshura) -- ne vend te kesaj, 20 vjet me pare ne kemi filluar te studiojme rusisht, dhe pasi mesuam rusishten, mesuam mekaniken orbitale ne rusisht, dhe me pas mesuam teorine e kontrollit te pajisjeve, dhe me pas shkuam tek stimuluesi dhe u praktikuam perseri e perseri me rradhe. Dhe ne fakt mund te fluturosh kete meteorit dhe e drejton dhe ulesh me nje rreze prej 15 kilometrash kudo ne toke. Keshtu ne fakt, nderkohe qe ekuipazhi yt po vinte prape ne atmosferen brenda ne Soyuz, ne nuk po bertisnim, po qeshnim ishte qejf. Dhe kur parashuta e madhe u hap, ne e dinim se nese nuk hapej atehere ishte nje parashute e dyte, qe do te hapej ne nje mekanizem te vogel ore. Keshtu qe ne erdhem, ne erdhem perseri ne Toke dhe keshtu ishte te ulesh ne Soyuz, ne Kazakistan. (Video) Reporteri: Dhe ti mund te shikosh nje nga ato helikopteret e kerkimit, edhe njehere nje helikopter pjese e nje dyzine si helikopteret Mi-8 ruse. Ulja -- 3:14 dhe 48 sekonda, paradite, Central Time. CH: Dhe ti shkon tek nje ndalese sikur ndonjeri e hodhi anijen tone ne toke dhe ajo rrokulliset, por ti je gati per kete ti je ne nje sedilje te ndertuar per ty, ti e di sesi punon absorbuesi. Dhe kur me ne fund vijne ruset, te nxjerrin jashte, te vendosin ne nje karrige, dhe tani ti mund te shikosh pas tek ajo eksperience e paimagjinueshme. Ti ke marre enderrat e atij djali nente vjecar, te cilat ishin te pamunduara dhe te frikshme, tmerrruese, dhe i vendose ne praktike, dhe gjete nje menyre sesi ta riprogramoje veten, te ndryshoje friken tende primare qe te lejonte te ktheheshe pas me nje sere eksperiencash dhe nje nivel inspirimi per njerezit e tjere qe nuk do te ishte e mundur ndryshe. Per ta mbyllur, me kerkuan te luaj me kitare. Une e di kete kenge. dhe ajo i ben homazh gjenialitetit te vete David Bowie, por gjithashtu, mendoj, eshte nje reflektim i atij fakti se ne nuk jemi makina qe eksplorojne universin, ne jemi njerez, dhe ne po cojme aftesine per tu adaptuar dhe aftesine per te kuptuar dhe aftesine per te kapur veteperceptimin tone ne nje vend te ri. (Muzike) ♫ Ketu eshte Major Tom ne kullen e kontrollit ♫ ♫ jam larguar pergjithmone ♫ ♫ dhe po fluturoj ne nje nga menyrat me te vecanta ♫ ♫ dhe yjet duken shume ndryshe sot ♫ ♫ ketu jam duke fluturuar ne nje kanace konservash ♫ ♫ nje veshtrim te fundit botes ♫ ♫ Toka eshte blu dhe nuk ka shume gjera per te bere ♫ (Muzike) Mos kini frike. (Duartrokitje) Ishte shume e kendshme nga ana juaj. Shume faleminderit. Ju faleminderit.
