1
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,360
[man] Good morning, Shelley.
How are you?
2
00:00:12,387 --> 00:00:15,098
- [woman] Hey, good morning.
- [Sian] Good morning.
3
00:00:15,181 --> 00:00:16,266
[Hayley] Good morning.
4
00:00:16,349 --> 00:00:19,060
- Hi, guys!
- [Chris] Good morning.
5
00:00:19,144 --> 00:00:20,454
[Jared] Briefing objectives today:
6
00:00:20,478 --> 00:00:22,480
familiarization with the
Inspiration4 mission,
7
00:00:22,564 --> 00:00:24,315
uh... understand training commitments
8
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:27,110
and timelines to the best
that I can communicate them.
9
00:00:27,652 --> 00:00:29,654
Okay, so, mission overview here.
10
00:00:29,738 --> 00:00:33,825
We're planning to launch on
a dawn launch and a dawn recovery
11
00:00:33,908 --> 00:00:35,285
for three days.
12
00:00:35,368 --> 00:00:38,288
[Hayley] I was a little intimidated
to be the youngest member of the crew.
13
00:00:38,329 --> 00:00:43,376
You know, I know the least about space,
and I just... I didn't want to be weak.
14
00:00:43,460 --> 00:00:44,586
But it's really cool.
15
00:00:44,669 --> 00:00:47,964
You know, all four of us are basically
in a different decade of our lives,
16
00:00:48,047 --> 00:00:52,594
but we click so well that
I don't often feel like I'm the young one.
17
00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:55,096
So we're probably gonna go
into Chris's neck of the woods
18
00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:58,266
for our wilderness
team-building training event,
19
00:00:58,349 --> 00:01:01,186
somewhere in the Cascades,
likely Mount Rainier.
20
00:01:01,269 --> 00:01:04,397
We're gonna be in some intentionally
uncomfortable situations
21
00:01:05,148 --> 00:01:07,525
and, to see how we do as a team.
22
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:09,152
Here's where it gets serious again.
23
00:01:09,903 --> 00:01:12,072
Our mission to space is not guaranteed.
24
00:01:12,155 --> 00:01:13,406
This is not Top Gun.
25
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:16,201
We are not the best of the best
being sent to space here.
26
00:01:16,284 --> 00:01:18,536
We still have to take this super serious.
27
00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:21,831
There are a number of ways
that any individual, or the mission,
28
00:01:21,915 --> 00:01:22,999
could be shut down.
29
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:26,503
If it looks like anything is going to be,
you know, unsafe,
30
00:01:26,586 --> 00:01:28,266
it could be delayed, it could be canceled.
31
00:01:28,296 --> 00:01:30,590
You can fail in training.
32
00:01:30,673 --> 00:01:33,486
Are we willing to accept going up
to space if, you know, three crew members
33
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:37,847
are really laser focused,
and one's in, you know, Vegas,
34
00:01:37,931 --> 00:01:39,742
like, gambling and drinking
every single night,
35
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:41,684
and obviously, not coming in prepared...
36
00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:42,953
- I'm, like... Yeah.
- [Chris] That isn't us.
37
00:01:42,977 --> 00:01:44,854
I'm not looking at you, Chris,
but seriously...
38
00:01:44,938 --> 00:01:46,022
[Sian] Come on!
39
00:01:46,856 --> 00:01:49,150
He just has that look.
40
00:01:50,527 --> 00:01:53,404
[Jared] This is the honeymoon period.
Everybody's excited.
41
00:01:53,488 --> 00:01:55,490
But there will be some sort of problems.
42
00:01:56,741 --> 00:02:00,286
People die getting to space,
and people die coming home from space.
43
00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:03,414
And we need to be really focused
on making sure that that is not us.
44
00:02:03,498 --> 00:02:06,751
And that means, like, training it,
and earning it every single day
45
00:02:06,835 --> 00:02:10,797
from here forward,
and acting like we do belong here.
46
00:02:12,382 --> 00:02:15,760
[theme music]
47
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:47,959
[Jeffrey] Inspiration4 is going to space
48
00:02:48,042 --> 00:02:51,838
in a spacecraft that is capable
of sustaining a crew
49
00:02:51,921 --> 00:02:54,257
for days, or weeks, or months.
50
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,096
This is not buying a car
and piling into it with four people
51
00:03:00,179 --> 00:03:01,639
for a road trip.
52
00:03:02,265 --> 00:03:05,310
They will be equipped
and trained to intervene
53
00:03:05,393 --> 00:03:07,020
in the event of an emergency.
54
00:03:07,103 --> 00:03:09,689
They will be able to fly their spacecraft.
55
00:03:10,523 --> 00:03:11,441
Cool.
56
00:03:11,524 --> 00:03:13,484
[Jared] Sarah Gillis is our lead trainer,
57
00:03:13,568 --> 00:03:16,613
so she's the one responsible
for our entire education
58
00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:18,031
to be prepared for safe flight.
59
00:03:18,114 --> 00:03:20,241
She's ultimately the one
that signs us off,
60
00:03:20,325 --> 00:03:23,953
and the burden of, you know,
will we execute well or not
61
00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:25,747
will really fall on her.
62
00:03:26,664 --> 00:03:28,917
So the first action with the suit
63
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,711
is that you're gonna be
preparing all the openings on the suit.
64
00:03:31,794 --> 00:03:34,213
So what this means is
making sure the visor's open.
65
00:03:34,756 --> 00:03:35,756
There we go.
66
00:03:36,341 --> 00:03:38,968
My name is Sarah Gillis, and I'm 27,
67
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:42,347
and my job title
is Lead Space Operations Engineer.
68
00:03:42,430 --> 00:03:45,058
I lead our astronaut training program.
69
00:03:45,642 --> 00:03:46,476
This is a great opportunity.
70
00:03:46,559 --> 00:03:48,204
Let's try donning
and doffing your earpieces.
71
00:03:48,228 --> 00:03:51,898
It is gonna be red in your right ear,
blue in your left.
72
00:03:55,026 --> 00:03:56,736
Still not fully in.
73
00:03:56,819 --> 00:03:58,619
We can keep practicing
in just a minute, okay?
74
00:03:58,655 --> 00:03:59,739
[Hayley] Okay.
75
00:04:00,698 --> 00:04:02,742
I want you guys to swim all the way in
76
00:04:02,825 --> 00:04:05,703
and get your hands all the way
through the openings in the sleeves.
77
00:04:07,664 --> 00:04:10,625
I probably knew an embarrassingly
little amount about space
78
00:04:10,708 --> 00:04:13,127
by the time I actually
started to study engineering.
79
00:04:13,211 --> 00:04:15,171
I am a classically trained violinist.
80
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:19,300
My mother was a professional violinist
and started me when I was two.
81
00:04:19,884 --> 00:04:22,637
Um, she certainly did not raise me
to be an engineer,
82
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,097
she raised me to be a violinist.
83
00:04:24,180 --> 00:04:27,558
So, I played for many,
many years, but it was not...
84
00:04:29,352 --> 00:04:31,229
it was never what I was passionate about.
85
00:04:32,897 --> 00:04:35,191
I had a mentor in high school
86
00:04:35,275 --> 00:04:38,528
who set me on the course
to study aerospace engineering.
87
00:04:38,611 --> 00:04:40,321
He was a former astronaut,
88
00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:41,799
and he encouraged me
to apply for engineering.
89
00:04:41,823 --> 00:04:43,343
I had never considered it before that.
90
00:04:43,825 --> 00:04:46,911
You each get one of them to play with.
91
00:04:48,329 --> 00:04:50,331
[Jared] She knows how to be our friend...
92
00:04:50,415 --> 00:04:52,709
[Sarah] Three steps to disconnect
the fire extinguisher.
93
00:04:52,792 --> 00:04:55,271
[Jared] ...because there are times
when that's exactly what we need.
94
00:04:55,295 --> 00:04:56,838
There you go.
95
00:04:56,921 --> 00:04:59,801
And she knows how to keep us in line,
like when we're veering off-course.
96
00:05:02,719 --> 00:05:04,679
[Sian] She's really smart,
97
00:05:04,762 --> 00:05:09,600
and knows the Dragon capsule
and systems inside and out.
98
00:05:09,684 --> 00:05:12,770
I love the fact that she's a woman,
99
00:05:12,854 --> 00:05:15,565
and I love the fact
that she's freaking kick-ass.
100
00:05:15,648 --> 00:05:19,402
[Chris] SpaceX Dragon,
we're ready for a suit-leak check.
101
00:05:19,944 --> 00:05:22,947
[Sarah] Copy, Dragon, you have a go
to initiate the suit-leak check.
102
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:25,575
[Jared] She's also our core.
103
00:05:25,658 --> 00:05:28,995
The core is like
the NASA equivalent of CapCom.
104
00:05:29,495 --> 00:05:33,041
So she's the voice we're gonna hear
during the actual spaceflight.
105
00:05:33,124 --> 00:05:34,364
[Sarah] Awesome work, you guys.
106
00:05:34,792 --> 00:05:36,586
How you feeling?
Ready to get out of there?
107
00:05:37,628 --> 00:05:40,465
There's two hats that you have
to wear to be successful at that.
108
00:05:40,548 --> 00:05:45,178
One is the operational hat
where you need to understand
109
00:05:45,261 --> 00:05:47,722
exactly what actions you need
to take to keep them safe.
110
00:05:47,805 --> 00:05:50,558
On the other aspect, I care very deeply
111
00:05:50,641 --> 00:05:52,602
about every single one
of these people now.
112
00:05:52,685 --> 00:05:54,812
I'm emotionally invested in it and...
113
00:05:55,313 --> 00:05:58,483
you have to separate that out
to be effective at what you do
114
00:05:58,566 --> 00:06:00,443
when you need to wear
your operational hat.
115
00:06:04,322 --> 00:06:06,282
Dragon SpaceX comm check.
116
00:06:08,117 --> 00:06:11,913
For our Crew-2 mission five months ago,
I was on console.
117
00:06:11,996 --> 00:06:14,707
[astronaut] SpaceX Endeavor,
and I hear you loud and clear.
118
00:06:15,917 --> 00:06:19,420
- How you doing, Sarah?
- Copy that, I'm doing well.
119
00:06:19,504 --> 00:06:21,264
Looking forward
to supporting you guys today.
120
00:06:22,924 --> 00:06:26,719
And there was a very late notice,
possible conjunction, so...
121
00:06:27,553 --> 00:06:29,680
um, we got word
that there might be an object
122
00:06:29,764 --> 00:06:31,307
that could come very close to Dragon.
123
00:06:31,390 --> 00:06:35,603
For awareness, we have identified
a late-breaking possible conjunction
124
00:06:35,686 --> 00:06:39,023
with a fairly close
miss-distance to Dragon.
125
00:06:39,107 --> 00:06:42,777
We had very little time
and had to respond very quickly.
126
00:06:43,361 --> 00:06:46,572
We do need you to immediately
proceed with suit donning
127
00:06:47,198 --> 00:06:48,825
and securing yourselves in seats.
128
00:06:50,576 --> 00:06:51,887
They were fully configured for sleep.
129
00:06:51,911 --> 00:06:53,751
They need to rapidly
get into their spacesuits,
130
00:06:54,705 --> 00:06:57,250
because in the event
of a depressurization,
131
00:06:57,333 --> 00:07:00,545
where an object punctured
a hole in the spacecraft,
132
00:07:00,628 --> 00:07:03,798
it means that all of the breathable air
inside the cabin
133
00:07:03,881 --> 00:07:07,301
could potentially leave the cabin,
and leave them in a vacuum,
134
00:07:07,385 --> 00:07:11,514
which means they'll get in suits,
100% oxygen will be fed to the suits,
135
00:07:11,597 --> 00:07:12,723
and they'll pressurize.
136
00:07:12,807 --> 00:07:16,436
Suits are little spaceships
that keep them safe
137
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:18,319
in the event
that their atmosphere disappears.
138
00:07:21,065 --> 00:07:27,029
The time of closest approach
for this event is at 17:43.
139
00:07:27,113 --> 00:07:30,199
And then, there's a time
of closest approach,
140
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:33,286
exactly when we think the object
would be closest to the capsule.
141
00:07:33,369 --> 00:07:37,957
Please ensure visors are closed
and zippers are closed prior to TCA
142
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,417
in approximately 20 seconds.
143
00:07:44,422 --> 00:07:47,133
[astronaut] SpaceX Endeavour,
we are visors closed and zipped up.
144
00:07:52,889 --> 00:07:56,642
[Sarah] And after that time,
nothing happened.
145
00:07:56,726 --> 00:08:00,938
Dragon SpaceX, we have passed TCA impact.
146
00:08:04,066 --> 00:08:07,987
[Megan] Sarah, I think you said that
we passed the object. Is that correct?
147
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:11,240
Affirm, Megan.
148
00:08:11,824 --> 00:08:17,872
Immediately, there's this massive weight
that's lifted off your chest.
149
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:22,084
Um, but it's...
150
00:08:27,131 --> 00:08:30,426
That was probably the hardest thing
stepping off console that day,
151
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:34,096
was the panic for my friends in space.
152
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:36,891
You can't process it when you're
in the moment, you can't...
153
00:08:39,644 --> 00:08:41,844
You can't think about it,
or else you can't do your job,
154
00:08:41,896 --> 00:08:43,416
but as soon as you step off console...
155
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:50,571
you care so deeply about those people
156
00:08:50,655 --> 00:08:55,993
that it... it is overwhelming
to think back on what just happened.
157
00:08:58,412 --> 00:09:00,414
I probably still need therapy,
let's be honest.
158
00:09:03,084 --> 00:09:06,212
For Inspiration4, it's a unique situation.
159
00:09:06,295 --> 00:09:08,256
It's our first commercial crew.
160
00:09:09,173 --> 00:09:11,717
The Dragon vehicle is largely
an autonomous vehicle.
161
00:09:11,801 --> 00:09:15,221
The software takes care
of what the vehicle needs to do.
162
00:09:15,846 --> 00:09:18,724
So from that perspective,
what crew get trained on
163
00:09:18,808 --> 00:09:21,936
are the ways in which
they can backup the automation.
164
00:09:22,478 --> 00:09:25,638
There are capabilities that are provided
to them that they need to be trained on
165
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:27,900
to backup the systems, but...
166
00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:30,361
it's a very smart and capable vehicle.
167
00:09:30,444 --> 00:09:34,073
Not only do we need to train them
how to live in Dragon
168
00:09:34,156 --> 00:09:36,867
and be successful in Dragon,
we also need to provide...
169
00:09:36,951 --> 00:09:40,663
background on what it's like
to live in space,
170
00:09:40,746 --> 00:09:42,248
how you move in space,
171
00:09:42,331 --> 00:09:43,891
what the space environment actually is.
172
00:09:48,004 --> 00:09:50,047
[Chris] In the very early days
of spaceflight,
173
00:09:50,131 --> 00:09:52,133
when we had much less experience
174
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:54,552
as a nation, it was quite challenging.
175
00:09:55,136 --> 00:09:59,140
Simulators in those early days
were actual flying machines.

Fast forward to today's day and age
182
00:10:26,542 --> 00:10:28,669
when we have the experience
of all those decades,
183
00:10:29,337 --> 00:10:31,547
we really do know how
to prepare people for spaceflight.
184
00:10:33,049 --> 00:10:35,611
[Jared] The biggest differences
in our training versus a normal astronaut
185
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:37,345
is that we're not going to Space Station,
186
00:10:37,428 --> 00:10:39,221
we're also not doing a space walk,
187
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:41,349
but outside of that,
it's all going to be the same.
188
00:10:41,432 --> 00:10:45,561
We have a spacecraft we need
to take through a lot of phases of flight.
189
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:49,690
It's hard, but I absolutely thought,
with my background, like,
190
00:10:49,774 --> 00:10:53,194
I know what to expect, and I got it wrong.

00:11:00,785 --> 00:11:03,537

get stacks of stuff.

leaving at 7:00 p.m.
197
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:14,507
There's no gaps in the schedule at all.
198
00:11:14,590 --> 00:11:16,592
You're just taking down
as much coffee as you can,
199
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:19,196
and then you're coming back
and studying and doing it the next day.
200
00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:22,390
[Sarah] A lot of the training focuses
on operating the Dragon,
201
00:11:23,099 --> 00:11:28,104
knowing how to access cargo,
how to get out equipment.
202
00:11:28,187 --> 00:11:31,315
They're going to have to go
through emergency response.
203
00:11:35,152 --> 00:11:36,404
Ooh!
204
00:11:36,487 --> 00:11:38,155
[Sarah] What food they're gonna eat,
205
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:40,639
they're gonna have to go
through a selection of food options.
206
00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:43,452
[laughs]
207
00:11:44,787 --> 00:11:46,705
I'm thinking I probably
won't eat much in space.
208
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:49,500
[Chris] They put us through the wringer
pretty quick.
209
00:11:49,583 --> 00:11:53,379

[Chris] What makes an effective
crew member on a spacecraft?
218
00:12:26,871 --> 00:12:28,998
The nuts and bolts
of keeping yourself safe,
219
00:12:29,081 --> 00:12:32,293
the nuts and bolts of knowing
how to push buttons and when,
220
00:12:32,376 --> 00:12:34,628
and reading a checklist
is pretty trainable.
221
00:12:34,712 --> 00:12:36,189
The interesting thing about spaceflight
222
00:12:36,213 --> 00:12:38,716
is you can't go to space
to train for space.
223
00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:43,304
You have to train
in Earth-environment simulators,
224
00:12:43,387 --> 00:12:46,056
situations that are
analogous to spaceflight.
225
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:50,394
And then in your brain,
integrate all of that into a neat package
226
00:12:50,478 --> 00:12:54,190
that prepares you mentally
for what you're getting into.
227
00:12:58,527 --> 00:13:02,823
[Jeffrey] You have to be well-trained
to fly a SpaceX spacecraft.
228
00:13:03,699 --> 00:13:05,951
- Good luck, Commander.
- [Jared] Thank you.
229
00:13:06,035 --> 00:13:07,203
[man] Don't suck!
230
00:13:07,786 --> 00:13:11,832
You have to be brave
to fly a SpaceX spacecraft.
231
00:13:16,795 --> 00:13:20,466
You have to be able
to tolerate a centrifuge.
232
00:13:22,718 --> 00:13:25,304
You have to be able to tolerate G-forces.
233
00:13:25,888 --> 00:13:30,017
Okay, Jared, confirm your location
of that door-release handle, you...
234
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,686
- [Jared] Lower right.
- Get back there. Got it, good.
235
00:13:32,770 --> 00:13:35,731
[Jeffrey] You have to be able to
overcome your fear.
236
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:40,361
[Sarah] Ten, nine, eight, seven,
237
00:13:40,444 --> 00:13:47,034
six, five, four, three, two, one. Liftoff.
238
00:13:51,830 --> 00:13:53,510
[Jeffrey] If you go through your training,
239
00:13:53,958 --> 00:13:57,127
maybe you're gonna learn
that you're not qualified to go.
240
00:14:05,886 --> 00:14:08,055
[Sian] Look at him smiling.
He's having a good time.
241
00:14:08,138 --> 00:14:09,431
[laughs]
242
00:14:13,018 --> 00:14:16,355
[Chris] The centrifuge was
where you get the experience
243
00:14:16,438 --> 00:14:18,857
of what it's going to be like
when you launch in the rocket
244
00:14:18,941 --> 00:14:21,777
and what it's gonna be like
when you come back through the atmosphere.
245
00:14:21,860 --> 00:14:24,196
You're going to be experiencing
four-and-a-half times
246
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,322
your own body weight.
247
00:14:29,869 --> 00:14:33,330
It's like a couple of your largest buddies
sitting on your chest, you know,
248
00:14:33,414 --> 00:14:34,999
pushing you into your seat...
249
00:14:40,212 --> 00:14:42,590
feeling that for several minutes in a row.
250
00:14:43,507 --> 00:14:45,347
[Hayley] Have you ever done anything
like this?
251
00:14:46,051 --> 00:14:48,178
[Chris] Not this... no, not really.
252
00:14:48,262 --> 00:14:51,765
I mean there's just that little one
at space camp they had, you know?
253
00:14:51,849 --> 00:14:54,244
That's not the same, they show
you're flying through these mountains,
254
00:14:54,268 --> 00:14:55,871
and really, you're like,
"Why are they showing me something
255
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:57,135
that's gonna make me throw up?"
256
00:14:58,063 --> 00:14:59,690
No, but this is cool.
257
00:15:01,066 --> 00:15:03,694
- I think.
- [Hayley] Mm-hmm.
258
00:15:08,407 --> 00:15:10,993
SpaceX Dragon, I think we have splashdown.
259
00:15:12,536 --> 00:15:15,831
And the worst part of this
is that we can't ask him anything.
260
00:15:16,957 --> 00:15:18,792
[Jared] When we did
our centrifuge training,
261
00:15:18,876 --> 00:15:21,879
they separated us after we completed it
because they didn't want us
262
00:15:21,962 --> 00:15:25,674
to tell the next crew member
going up that they had some...
263
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:28,093
some things in store in the centrifuge.
264
00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:35,476
- Do you want your emesis bag?
- Oh, sure, I'll stick one by my leg here.
265
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,694
[door slams]
266
00:15:46,654 --> 00:15:47,988
Well, that's intense.
267
00:15:48,697 --> 00:15:49,865
Do you have any questions?
268
00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:52,534
- No questions.
- [Sarah] Copy that.
269
00:15:53,702 --> 00:15:54,703
Copy.
270
00:15:55,788 --> 00:15:56,788
One G.
271
00:16:01,627 --> 00:16:02,753
And three G.
272
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:08,342
Now climbing to six Gs.
273
00:16:15,099 --> 00:16:17,434
[alarm blares]
274
00:16:17,518 --> 00:16:19,245
[Jared] Right when everything
was supposed to be normal,
275
00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:21,689
you had this super loud horn going off,
276
00:16:21,772 --> 00:16:23,732
which is exactly the alarm that happens
277
00:16:23,816 --> 00:16:26,068
in Dragon when an emergency triggers off.
278
00:16:27,111 --> 00:16:28,737
Do you want me to silence that?
279
00:16:28,821 --> 00:16:30,906
[alarm blares]
280
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:34,410
And then some violent shaking.
281
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:41,875
And ultimately it became a launch escape,
282
00:16:41,959 --> 00:16:44,461
where, you know, the Falcon
became unstable in launch
283
00:16:44,545 --> 00:16:46,505
and Dragon had to separate and come back.
284
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,051
[Sarah] Splashdown.
285
00:16:54,013 --> 00:16:56,015
Dragon SpaceX splashdown.
286
00:16:57,850 --> 00:17:00,644
Copy that. I had nausea here,
by the way, just so you know.
287
00:17:03,355 --> 00:17:06,191
- [man] All right, breathing difficulty?
- None.
288
00:17:06,275 --> 00:17:08,986
- Chest pressure or discomfort?
- None.
289
00:17:09,069 --> 00:17:10,069
- Cough?
- None.
290
00:17:10,112 --> 00:17:12,990
- All right, how about the nausea?
- Um, moderate.
291
00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:18,120
Okay, I'm on my way down to take you out.
292
00:17:18,203 --> 00:17:19,203
[man 2] You okay?
293
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:26,712
Feel free to use the bag if you need it.
294
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:37,928
[man] Hey, Chris,
do you have your bag at the ready?
295
00:17:39,641 --> 00:17:41,477
- [retches]
- [Sian] Oh, no...
296
00:17:47,816 --> 00:17:49,526
[laughs]
297
00:17:49,610 --> 00:17:51,320
Oh, he's a trooper.
298
00:17:52,696 --> 00:17:55,074
[Chris] At the end we simulated
splashdown in the ocean,
299
00:17:55,824 --> 00:17:58,744
and the boat got a little rocky.
300
00:17:58,827 --> 00:18:01,663
- How are you feeling?
- A little sick after that.
301
00:18:02,539 --> 00:18:04,379
Have you ever thrown up
from being motion sick?
302
00:18:04,458 --> 00:18:07,002
Yeah, I get sick on small boats.
303
00:18:07,086 --> 00:18:08,086
All right.
304
00:18:08,128 --> 00:18:09,505
- You ready?
- No. Yeah.
305
00:18:10,547 --> 00:18:12,216
- [Hayley] Yes, you are.
- I'm ready.
306
00:18:15,344 --> 00:18:18,263
- Hey there, how you doing?
- Just letting the medicine do its thing.
307
00:18:18,931 --> 00:18:20,808
Hopefully, this won't happen in space.
308
00:18:22,684 --> 00:18:25,229
[Sarah] Dragon SpaceX,
nominal trajectory.
309
00:18:25,312 --> 00:18:27,064
Copy nominal trajectory.
310
00:18:27,773 --> 00:18:31,443
Chris forged the way before me,
and so I've gotten to be like,
311
00:18:31,527 --> 00:18:34,571
"Oh, Chris threw up, okay,
I need to think about this."
312
00:18:36,865 --> 00:18:39,201
[man] Did you have any reactions
that surprised you?
313
00:18:39,284 --> 00:18:40,869
A little bit of nausea.
314
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:45,582
I was this close to being
just right there next to him.
315
00:18:45,666 --> 00:18:49,962
I'm gonna definitely take the docs up
on their offers of anti-nausea medicine
316
00:18:50,045 --> 00:18:51,296
when it comes time.
317
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:52,297
[interviewer] That's an option?
318
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:55,551
It is absolutely an option
to take anti-nausea medicine.
319
00:18:55,634 --> 00:18:57,636
I've heard that most astronauts do so.
320
00:18:57,719 --> 00:19:00,305
[Sarah] Six Gs... four seconds.
321
00:19:00,389 --> 00:19:03,976
The total profile duration
is approximately a minute and a half.
322
00:19:06,103 --> 00:19:08,939
[man] Hayley, I need you
to keep your eyes open, please.
323
00:19:11,608 --> 00:19:13,318
[Jared] They had flight psychiatrists
there
324
00:19:13,402 --> 00:19:14,945
that were evaluating us on the screens
325
00:19:15,028 --> 00:19:17,948
while it was taking place,
and then afterwards during an interview.
326
00:19:18,031 --> 00:19:19,783
This has implications as us,
327
00:19:19,867 --> 00:19:22,053
as four, you know, human beings
going in a spacecraft, right?
328
00:19:22,077 --> 00:19:25,038
This has implications to SpaceX.
What if this goes wrong?
329
00:19:25,873 --> 00:19:27,207
[Sian] Hayley's doing great.
330
00:19:27,291 --> 00:19:28,542
She's doing great.
331
00:19:28,625 --> 00:19:30,711
- She's just rock solid in there.
- [Sian] She is.
332
00:19:31,503 --> 00:19:34,047
[Sarah] Three, two, one.
333
00:19:34,131 --> 00:19:37,426
[Jared] You know, they have obviously
as much interest as we do
334
00:19:37,509 --> 00:19:39,529
to making sure this is safe
and that the crew that they're sending up
335
00:19:39,553 --> 00:19:43,390
can competently handle, you know,
some pretty difficult circumstances.
336
00:19:44,057 --> 00:19:45,517
That's great.
337
00:19:45,601 --> 00:19:48,770
Coming out of it, everybody was smiling,
everybody was super excited,
338
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:51,457
everybody was like, "All right,
when do we start the rest of our training?
339
00:19:51,481 --> 00:19:53,442
- Let's get going!"
- That was fun!
340
00:19:53,525 --> 00:19:55,068
Good. Yeah.
341
00:19:55,152 --> 00:19:57,433
And that was kind of the moment
where I was like, "Okay...
342
00:19:57,863 --> 00:20:00,115
I think we can get through
probably anything."
343
00:20:00,199 --> 00:20:02,284
[applause]
344
00:20:04,661 --> 00:20:07,122
And for somebody
who's never done this before,
345
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:09,249
pretty doggone good.
346
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:13,003
I'm gonna... when you guys launch,
I'm gonna come to Florida and watch that.
347
00:20:13,086 --> 00:20:15,839
- Thank you, Glenn.
- I'll be cheering you on, "Go, go!"
348
00:20:33,565 --> 00:20:36,985
- Hello!
- [Colleen] Hey!
349
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:38,362
Hi.
350
00:20:38,445 --> 00:20:40,781
I can't wait to tell you
all about the day.
351
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:44,576
The day I got back to St. Jude
after my big announcement
352
00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:47,913
that I was going to space,
I was stopped by this mother and daughter,
353
00:20:47,996 --> 00:20:50,540
and the mom came up to me,
and she had tears in her eyes.
354
00:20:50,624 --> 00:20:54,419
And she said, "I just wanted
to thank you for what you're doing.
355
00:20:54,503 --> 00:20:56,964
This mission is giving my daughter
so much hope."
356
00:20:58,173 --> 00:21:00,634
I asked the little girl, I said,
"What's been going on?"
357
00:21:01,218 --> 00:21:03,428
And she said she was feeling discouraged
358
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:07,224
because she can't run
or jump like her siblings can.
359
00:21:07,307 --> 00:21:08,350
And I told her, you know,
360
00:21:08,433 --> 00:21:11,561
I can't run or jump
like my little brother either.
361
00:21:11,645 --> 00:21:14,106
But I said, "It's not stopping me
from going to space."
362
00:21:14,189 --> 00:21:17,025
She can do this too.
If I can do it, she can do it.
363
00:21:17,109 --> 00:21:21,196
And you don't need to run
or jump to accomplish dreams.
364
00:21:21,863 --> 00:21:25,701
[Colleen] Are you more excited,
or more afraid?
365
00:21:25,784 --> 00:21:27,744
I'm not scared at all right now.
366
00:21:27,828 --> 00:21:28,828
[Colleen] Good.
367
00:21:29,538 --> 00:21:32,165
After that, I was walking back
to my office with tears in my eyes
368
00:21:32,249 --> 00:21:35,585
because I was like,
this is why we're going on this mission.
369
00:21:36,253 --> 00:21:38,797
[Colleen] Okay. Well, text me.
You didn't text at all today.
370
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,716
Okay. I will.
371
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:42,801
- [Colleen] All right?
- All right.
372
00:21:42,884 --> 00:21:43,802
- I love you!
- Good talking to you.
373
00:21:43,885 --> 00:21:45,905
- I know, I'm glad we got to catch up.
- [Colleen] I'm so excited for you still.
374
00:21:45,929 --> 00:21:48,015
I know! I'm so excited.
375
00:21:48,098 --> 00:21:49,308
[Colleen] Text me everything.
376
00:21:49,391 --> 00:21:50,684
- Okay?
- Okay, I will.
377
00:21:50,767 --> 00:21:52,495
- All right. Bye.
- Talk to you later. Love y'all!
378
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:54,104
- Bye, Hay.
- Bye!
379
00:21:56,606 --> 00:21:57,606
Okay.
380
00:22:01,903 --> 00:22:04,489
[Spanish reggaeton music]
381
00:22:07,534 --> 00:22:12,456
My favorite music genres are, like,
indie music, kind of hipster,
382
00:22:12,539 --> 00:22:14,249
and '80s pop,
383
00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:17,461
and Spanish reggaeton.
384
00:22:17,961 --> 00:22:20,881
[Spanish reggaeton music]
385
00:22:21,423 --> 00:22:24,134
I was a Spanish major throughout college,
386
00:22:24,217 --> 00:22:26,345
and then I spent some time
in South America,
387
00:22:26,428 --> 00:22:29,639
and that's when I really fell in love
with, like, the whole genre of reggaeton.
388
00:22:29,723 --> 00:22:31,058
That's my pump-up music.
389
00:22:31,141 --> 00:22:35,812
The music I listen to if I'm nervous,
or just, like, need some encouragement.
390
00:22:35,896 --> 00:22:39,858
Somehow, it just, like,
fills me with all the good vibes.
391
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,153
[Spanish reggaeton music]
392
00:22:43,236 --> 00:22:45,530
My life aspirations absolutely changed
393
00:22:45,614 --> 00:22:47,294
in that year I was going
through treatment.
394
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:49,034
Ultimately, entering college,
395
00:22:49,117 --> 00:22:51,244
I decided I wanted to be
a physician assistant.
396
00:22:51,787 --> 00:22:54,331
And that's why I decided
to major in Spanish
397
00:22:54,414 --> 00:22:57,000
to work with the many
Spanish-speaking patients at St. Jude,
398
00:22:57,084 --> 00:22:58,877
and then also
through their global program.
399
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,421
They have many clinics
they're affiliated with
400
00:23:01,505 --> 00:23:03,340
throughout Central and South America,
401
00:23:03,423 --> 00:23:07,469
and I wanted to work
and help kids there live.
402
00:23:07,552 --> 00:23:10,222
[Spanish reggaeton music]
403
00:23:11,181 --> 00:23:12,933
[Colleen] We do have an arrangement
404
00:23:13,016 --> 00:23:16,061
for when she does
all this international travel
405
00:23:16,144 --> 00:23:18,814
that she doesn't tell me
the stories till she gets home
406
00:23:18,897 --> 00:23:19,940
and I know she's safe,
407
00:23:20,023 --> 00:23:22,734
and then, she tells me
about all these wild adventures.
408
00:23:22,818 --> 00:23:27,405
If I let my mom anxiety
influence her life,
409
00:23:27,489 --> 00:23:30,325
she wouldn't do nearly
the things that she's doing.
410
00:23:30,408 --> 00:23:33,328
She wouldn't live in a big city,
411
00:23:33,411 --> 00:23:35,080
she wouldn't travel the world,
412
00:23:35,163 --> 00:23:38,625
but I wouldn't stop her
from doing any of that.
413
00:23:41,628 --> 00:23:43,964
[Hayley] I honestly come from
the best family ever.
414
00:23:44,047 --> 00:23:47,384
Probably, other people think that too,
but I firmly believe it.
415
00:23:50,637 --> 00:23:53,056
I always knew I was so loved,
and so supported,
416
00:23:53,140 --> 00:23:54,933
and my family is really strong.
417
00:23:57,352 --> 00:24:00,981
We've been through a lot together.
And it's really bonded us.
418
00:24:02,607 --> 00:24:04,151
My dad and I were so close.
419
00:24:04,651 --> 00:24:07,362
He and I were the most alike
in the family.
420
00:24:08,613 --> 00:24:12,325
He was actually the journalist
for the newspaper in our small town,
421
00:24:12,409 --> 00:24:15,662
and he loved these sweet,
little heartwarming stories,
422
00:24:15,745 --> 00:24:19,541
and just kind of see the beauty in things
that maybe everyone didn't see.
423
00:24:21,293 --> 00:24:22,878
When I was going through treatment,
424
00:24:22,961 --> 00:24:25,505
he was actually
still working in Baton Rouge,
425
00:24:25,589 --> 00:24:28,592
and he and my brother
would drive up every weekend.
426
00:24:28,675 --> 00:24:30,051
It was a six-hour drive.
427
00:24:30,135 --> 00:24:33,597
And whenever I knew
they were coming on a Friday night,
428
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,267
I would sit on the couch
and just stare out the window for hours.
429
00:24:38,643 --> 00:24:41,354
And when I saw his car pull up,
I was so excited.
430
00:24:45,901 --> 00:24:49,070
He definitely taught me a lot
of appreciating other cultures
431
00:24:49,154 --> 00:24:51,364
and going out of my comfort zone.
432
00:24:54,659 --> 00:24:56,953
I thought he had cancer
before he was diagnosed.
433
00:24:59,372 --> 00:25:01,499
He was having all this upper back pain,
434
00:25:01,583 --> 00:25:03,126
like, in his spine,
435
00:25:03,210 --> 00:25:05,503
and he was losing weight really rapidly.
436
00:25:06,546 --> 00:25:10,467
I just felt sick.
I knew something was really wrong.
437
00:25:14,012 --> 00:25:17,682
We found out
that he had metastatic disease
438
00:25:18,183 --> 00:25:19,517
in his thoracic spine.
439
00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:22,103
We knew it was really bad,
440
00:25:22,187 --> 00:25:24,564
and I knew that he was going to die.
441
00:25:29,277 --> 00:25:31,655
We thought he had more time than he did.
442
00:25:31,738 --> 00:25:33,156
But he was so sick.
443
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,034
And they tried a couple different things,
but I mean...
444
00:25:36,868 --> 00:25:39,204
it didn't give him the time
that we were hoping.
445
00:25:41,581 --> 00:25:46,586
He was such a supportive and proud father,
446
00:25:46,670 --> 00:25:51,091
and I think he would be more proud of me
for going out of my comfort zone
447
00:25:51,174 --> 00:25:52,676
than for actually going to space.
448
00:25:55,679 --> 00:25:56,972
I wish he was here,
449
00:25:57,055 --> 00:25:59,891
because he would be
absolutely loving this,
450
00:25:59,975 --> 00:26:01,434
but you know...
451
00:26:04,854 --> 00:26:05,854
he's not.
452
00:26:08,316 --> 00:26:11,695
[Colleen] My husband would be
out-of-this-world excited.
453
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:14,030
He would be thrilled,
454
00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:16,866
but, you know,
I think that he's thrilled now.
455
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:18,243
I think he knows.
456
00:26:18,326 --> 00:26:21,496
I think he's going to have
a very unique perspective
457
00:26:21,579 --> 00:26:23,206
on her mission.
458
00:26:40,849 --> 00:26:43,268
[Sian] My title is mission pilot,
459
00:26:43,351 --> 00:26:47,147
and Jared is also a pilot,
but his title is the commander.
460
00:26:47,230 --> 00:26:50,025
Jared's role really is
to make the decisions
461
00:26:50,108 --> 00:26:52,819
about the capsule and the crew,
462
00:26:52,902 --> 00:26:56,740
and my job as the pilot
is to back him up on that.
463
00:26:58,033 --> 00:27:02,912
So in just a bit, Dr. Proctor,
who is the pilot on Inspiration4,
464
00:27:02,996 --> 00:27:04,664
is going to show up here,
465
00:27:04,748 --> 00:27:07,625
and we're gonna just
reorient her with flying.
466
00:27:09,127 --> 00:27:12,339
These are Aermacchi MB-339s.
So, Italian jets.
467
00:27:12,422 --> 00:27:14,799
And then, obviously,
that's a Douglas A-4 Skyhawks,
468
00:27:14,883 --> 00:27:15,925
if you ever saw Top Gun.
469
00:27:16,009 --> 00:27:17,927
Did you fly a Spitfire?
470
00:27:18,011 --> 00:27:21,556
- [Jared] I didn't, it was just a gift.
- [Sian laughs]
471
00:27:26,019 --> 00:27:29,814
[Sian] I got my pilot's license
in 2007, technically.
472
00:27:29,898 --> 00:27:31,441
When I was 36,
473
00:27:32,150 --> 00:27:36,571
but I'd always just loved
making model airplanes,
474
00:27:36,654 --> 00:27:38,698
and wanting to fly jets
and stuff like that.
475
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,784
- [Jared] Well, you get to.
- I know!
476
00:27:40,867 --> 00:27:42,035
I can't even think...
477
00:27:42,118 --> 00:27:45,538
I gotta say, that's one
of the highlights of everything.
478
00:27:45,622 --> 00:27:46,849
[Jared] It's a good opportunity,
479
00:27:46,873 --> 00:27:49,209
since she's been
out of the cockpit for a little bit,
480
00:27:49,292 --> 00:27:52,212
to get familiar
with checklist drills and radio work
481
00:27:52,295 --> 00:27:56,091
which is all, like, carries over perfectly
to Dragon and the spacecraft.
482
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,886
So, once you get into the Dragon systems,
and how many, you know,
483
00:27:59,969 --> 00:28:01,638
flight computers and strings they have...
484
00:28:01,721 --> 00:28:06,226
[Sian] The Dragon capsule
is designed to be autonomous
485
00:28:06,309 --> 00:28:08,103
so it can go up into space,
486
00:28:08,186 --> 00:28:11,523
and then come back
through its flight computer.
487
00:28:11,606 --> 00:28:15,360
However, there are contingencies,
and things that could happen,
488
00:28:15,443 --> 00:28:19,197
and that's where me as the pilot
and Jared as the commander,
489
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,116
we really have to understand the systems.
490
00:28:22,450 --> 00:28:24,077
It's going to be windy!
491
00:28:24,744 --> 00:28:29,582
[Jared] When things go wrong,
Dragon is designed for the crew,
492
00:28:29,666 --> 00:28:32,085
specifically myself and Dr. Proctor,
493
00:28:32,168 --> 00:28:34,879
to take control and be able
to come home safely.
494
00:28:40,051 --> 00:28:42,345
- Air source select.
- [Jared] We are on both.
495
00:28:42,429 --> 00:28:44,115
- Cleared, ready for take-off.
- [Jared] Okay.
496
00:28:44,139 --> 00:28:46,099
What could possibly go wrong?
497
00:28:46,182 --> 00:28:47,559
There's B-1. Rotate.
498
00:28:48,268 --> 00:28:51,229
Ever lose your Wi-Fi connection
in your house or your hotel?
499
00:28:51,730 --> 00:28:54,441
If we can't have, like,
100% perfect internet,
500
00:28:54,524 --> 00:28:58,778
you know, in your home, believe me,
you don't have 100% perfect comms
501
00:28:58,862 --> 00:29:00,822
in communication in space.
502
00:29:00,905 --> 00:29:02,866
So I had gear down. Three green, no red,
503
00:29:02,949 --> 00:29:05,952
full flaps, down and indicating
engine sync is off, igniters are on.
504
00:29:06,035 --> 00:29:06,953
- Yaw damper's off...
- [computer] Altitude.
505
00:29:07,036 --> 00:29:09,014
...and we're clear for the option.
That's the final checklist.
506
00:29:09,038 --> 00:29:11,791
There are actually parts
of our mission just based in the orbit
507
00:29:11,875 --> 00:29:13,543
where we will have no contact,
508
00:29:13,626 --> 00:29:17,005
because it's still based largely
on ground stations and satellites
509
00:29:17,088 --> 00:29:18,923
that were put up in the '80s and '90s,
510
00:29:19,007 --> 00:29:22,761
in which case, then, the responsibility
shifts and swings significantly
511
00:29:22,844 --> 00:29:25,930
over to us as the crew
to take care of ourselves.
512
00:29:28,057 --> 00:29:31,269
So, totally get the writing down
what they're telling you,
513
00:29:31,352 --> 00:29:35,064
but in terms of some of your responses,
'cause you were already past 7,000
514
00:29:35,148 --> 00:29:36,941
when you said you were six here.
515
00:29:37,025 --> 00:29:40,737
- Okay, so my situational awareness to...
- Right.
516
00:29:40,820 --> 00:29:42,965
[Chris] What is unique about this mission
is that, you know,
517
00:29:42,989 --> 00:29:46,242
we're taking, you know,
more or less ordinary people, right?
518
00:29:46,326 --> 00:29:49,746
Now you're going to tell them
you're on the RNAV 1-7 approach.
519
00:29:50,705 --> 00:29:52,582
[Chris] Jared's taken on
so much more work,
520
00:29:52,665 --> 00:29:55,168
so much more labor,
so much more complexity.
521
00:29:55,251 --> 00:29:57,796
Hello, tower, this is
November Nine Eight Yankee.
522
00:29:58,379 --> 00:30:00,507
[man] He's not only got to
take care of himself,
523
00:30:00,590 --> 00:30:05,470
but he's got, you know, three other men
and women that we need to take care of.
524
00:30:05,553 --> 00:30:06,553
Uh...
525
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:09,239
[Jared] You wanna be more in the moment.
526
00:30:09,265 --> 00:30:12,477
When you're giving them information,
when you're, you know,
527
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,939
"Hey, I'm 17-5 for flight level 2-3-0..."
528
00:30:16,022 --> 00:30:18,342
Just use the information
that's in front of you to do that.
529
00:30:18,399 --> 00:30:20,568
Go the ILS, 2-4, Yankee Papa.
530
00:30:20,652 --> 00:30:21,652
Nice.
531
00:30:22,362 --> 00:30:24,447
- You're doing great, Sian.
- [laughs]
532
00:30:24,531 --> 00:30:26,491
This is kind of fun, I got to admit.
533
00:30:27,158 --> 00:30:32,372
Every time I get to hang out with Jared,
I learn to appreciate him more and more.
534
00:30:32,455 --> 00:30:35,416
He's a fast thinker, and I like that,
535
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:37,585
but he's also encouraging and supportive.
536
00:30:37,669 --> 00:30:42,507
So when I think about myself
and the leader that I want to be,
537
00:30:42,590 --> 00:30:44,342
he inspires me.
538
00:30:44,425 --> 00:30:45,653
[Jared] Yours is gonna be yellow.
539
00:30:45,677 --> 00:30:49,681
We will earn this very,
very unique opportunity in life
540
00:30:49,764 --> 00:30:53,685
to go and see our world from a perspective
that only 600 other people
541
00:30:53,768 --> 00:30:55,648
throughout history
have ever had a chance to do.
542
00:30:56,688 --> 00:31:00,149
So I think that's kind of fulfilling
my leadership role on this.
543
00:31:00,233 --> 00:31:02,110
[Sian] Cleared to land, Yankee Papa.
544
00:31:07,782 --> 00:31:09,701
- [Sian] Yay!
- Nice work!
545
00:31:11,369 --> 00:31:12,495
Good job.
546
00:31:24,257 --> 00:31:26,759
Really early on
in our conversations with SpaceX,
547
00:31:26,843 --> 00:31:29,888
we got a look at what
the training plan would entail,
548
00:31:29,971 --> 00:31:33,516
and it was a lot of academics,
it was a lot of simulator training,
549
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,728
but also, like, we need to get together
and try and accomplish something
550
00:31:36,811 --> 00:31:39,522
as a team in a challenging
physical environment.
551
00:31:39,606 --> 00:31:42,358
This is a good opportunity
for getting out and hitting the mountain,
552
00:31:42,442 --> 00:31:45,320
which is why we picked
a climbing endeavor on Mount Rainier.
553
00:31:51,326 --> 00:31:53,286
Now, this is not dissimilar
to what NASA does.
554
00:31:53,369 --> 00:31:57,081
I mean, they want
to put crews in challenging
555
00:31:57,165 --> 00:31:59,042
but achievable circumstances,
556
00:31:59,125 --> 00:32:01,270
like, let's set a really hard goal
and try and get it done,
557
00:32:01,294 --> 00:32:02,921
and let's try and help people get,
558
00:32:03,004 --> 00:32:04,644
you know, comfortable
being uncomfortable.
559
00:32:18,728 --> 00:32:20,146
I think, no matter what
560
00:32:20,229 --> 00:32:22,190
we're gonna see some...
it's gonna look beautiful.
561
00:32:22,774 --> 00:32:24,734
Whatever happens,
we get out there, just know,
562
00:32:24,817 --> 00:32:28,446
anyone else who attempts this mountain,
it's not a 100% success rate.
563
00:32:28,529 --> 00:32:31,449
Every trip I've been on,
people are coming back down.
564
00:32:31,532 --> 00:32:36,537
They train for six months, like, so...
you guys had a month's notice, really.
565
00:32:39,749 --> 00:32:42,269
[Hayley] When I first heard
that we were gonna climb a mountain,
566
00:32:42,752 --> 00:32:46,089
I was kind of like, "Jared is crazy,
like, why is he doing this?"
567
00:32:47,173 --> 00:32:50,885
Pretty much every NASA crew has done
something like this for the last 50 years.
568
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:54,263
I definitely like replicating what
has worked for others on their missions.
569
00:32:55,139 --> 00:32:57,767
All this and more is gonna fit
into that little backpack.
570
00:32:58,559 --> 00:33:01,646
Already this is uncomfortable
learning how to pack a pack
571
00:33:01,729 --> 00:33:05,483
and try not to show too many people
my undergarments, you know.
572
00:33:06,275 --> 00:33:08,236
"What color is he wearing?"
That's not important.
573
00:33:09,070 --> 00:33:11,072
You want 'em mostly unzipped.
574
00:33:11,572 --> 00:33:14,367
Last thing you want to do is be fiddling
575
00:33:15,159 --> 00:33:18,413
in the cold, wet snow with zippers.
576
00:33:18,496 --> 00:33:20,248
[Jared] There are things
that are unexpected
577
00:33:20,331 --> 00:33:22,375
that happen on every single mission.
578
00:33:22,458 --> 00:33:25,020
So I think it's good to, like,
work and build on some of those skills
579
00:33:25,044 --> 00:33:28,464
here on Earth before we experience it
either in orbit or coming back.
580
00:33:29,048 --> 00:33:30,550
- So I'm a hiker.
- Yeah.
581
00:33:30,633 --> 00:33:36,472
And so, doing 15 miles, I'm a rabbit,
where I will... I can't pace myself.
582
00:33:37,306 --> 00:33:40,494
[Jared] We don't need to see, you know,
who can move the fastest up the mountain,
583
00:33:40,518 --> 00:33:42,729
we don't need to see
who can carry the most weight.
584
00:33:42,812 --> 00:33:45,440
We're gonna set a goal
that's difficult but achievable,
585
00:33:45,523 --> 00:33:47,525
which I think is gonna have
a lot of parallels
586
00:33:47,608 --> 00:33:51,320
to being in a Dragon spacecraft
for a couple days.
587
00:33:51,404 --> 00:33:52,697
I'm ready to go.
588
00:33:53,948 --> 00:33:55,783
Let's do it. [laughs]
589
00:33:56,367 --> 00:33:57,452
Yes!
590
00:34:00,163 --> 00:34:03,041
So, this is a picture of Camp Muir, right?
This is our goal.
591
00:34:03,124 --> 00:34:07,837
Camp Muir sits on a ridgeline
that separates the Muir snowfield
592
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,338
from the Cowlitz Glacier.
593
00:34:09,839 --> 00:34:12,967
In the mountains, we don't measure
things in horizontal distances,
594
00:34:13,051 --> 00:34:14,969
the reason being, it's pretty deceptive.
595
00:34:15,053 --> 00:34:19,766
Tomorrow is gonna be
a 4,400-foot vertical day.
596
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:23,996
[Hayley] My biggest fear is that
something is going to happen,
597
00:34:24,020 --> 00:34:26,022
and I'm not going
to be able to go to space.
598
00:34:26,105 --> 00:34:28,566
The rod in my leg
has actually broken twice,
599
00:34:28,649 --> 00:34:30,234
like, pretty out of the blue,
600
00:34:30,318 --> 00:34:33,478
and I just keep thinking, like, every time
I have a little pain in my leg, like,
601
00:34:33,529 --> 00:34:35,114
it can't break.
602
00:34:35,198 --> 00:34:37,366
When it was snowing,
I didn't even go outside.
603
00:34:37,450 --> 00:34:39,261
I was like, I'll slip,
and I can't go to space.
604
00:34:39,285 --> 00:34:44,248
If this opportunity was taken away,
I would be so devastated.
605
00:34:45,166 --> 00:34:46,366
[Jared] How's it feel, Hayley?
606
00:34:46,959 --> 00:34:47,960
So far, fine.
607
00:34:48,044 --> 00:34:51,130
I think I'm more fearful
of her going up Mt. Rainier
608
00:34:51,881 --> 00:34:54,217
than the space mission.
609
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:56,052
What if something happens to her leg
610
00:34:56,594 --> 00:34:57,970
and she can't go?
611
00:34:58,054 --> 00:35:02,767
And that's just the reality of being
a childhood cancer survivor
612
00:35:02,850 --> 00:35:07,522
that has an internal prosthetic
that has broken in the past.
613
00:35:17,031 --> 00:35:20,201
[Jared] To put you at ease,
there is zero possibility of an avalanche.
614
00:35:20,284 --> 00:35:21,119
[Hayley] Great.
615
00:35:21,202 --> 00:35:23,496
There's plenty of other shit
you should be worried about,
616
00:35:25,081 --> 00:35:27,125
but avalanche is not one of them.
617
00:35:34,298 --> 00:35:37,802
[Sian] Just making sure all my stuff
is where I want it to be.
618
00:35:37,885 --> 00:35:39,554
[Chris] Absolutely. Absolutely.
619
00:35:41,305 --> 00:35:42,449
[Jared] Does that feel a little better?
620
00:35:42,473 --> 00:35:44,076
- It feels better, yeah.
- [Jared] Okay, it was...
621
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:45,100
Thanks.
622
00:35:48,104 --> 00:35:50,940
All righty, guys,
this is our jumping-off point!
623
00:35:51,023 --> 00:35:53,359
Did everyone get a chance
to put a little sunscreen on?
624
00:35:53,943 --> 00:35:56,237
I know that seems funny right now,
buried under the cloud,
625
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,032
but there's still a lot of radiation
coming through, so sunscreen,
626
00:36:00,116 --> 00:36:02,952
lip balm, and let's go glasses
on the whole time.
627
00:36:03,035 --> 00:36:06,914
If you don't wear the glasses,
you'll end up with pretty bloodshot eyes
628
00:36:06,998 --> 00:36:08,976
and potentially even doing
some harm to yourselves.
629
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,087
Now, we're gonna work with you guys
on technique as we get going uphill
630
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:15,256
to try to save the most energy we can.
631
00:36:15,339 --> 00:36:16,799
We have a big day in front of us.
632
00:36:16,883 --> 00:36:19,510
It's manageable, but it's still
gonna be a lot of hard work.
633
00:36:19,594 --> 00:36:22,930
As you guys walk along,
give that little scuff with your boots.
634
00:36:23,014 --> 00:36:24,849
Nice, slow, steady rhythm.
635
00:36:25,850 --> 00:36:28,394
This is definitely a tortoise
and hare kind of situation.
636
00:36:29,729 --> 00:36:31,647
Hannah's gonna lead us right out of here,
637
00:36:31,731 --> 00:36:34,442
and let's stay just maybe two,
three feet between each other.
638
00:36:34,525 --> 00:36:37,653
[Hayley] So far feeling good.
This is doable.
639
00:36:38,487 --> 00:36:40,007
I think it's gonna get harder, though.
640
00:36:42,533 --> 00:36:45,828
[guide] Looking good, guys, make sure
we're taking nice, deep breaths.
641
00:36:45,912 --> 00:36:47,514
[Chris] Not really sure
where we were going,
642
00:36:47,538 --> 00:36:50,583
'cause we couldn't see
where we were headed the entire time.
643
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:52,500
[Sian] We were socked in.
644
00:36:52,543 --> 00:36:55,588
We were in this cloud bank
that kind of like enveloped us,
645
00:36:55,671 --> 00:36:58,174
so you could see the person
in front of you, and that's it.
646
00:37:02,595 --> 00:37:07,892
[Hayley] I went into it really
optimistically slash slightly naively,
647
00:37:07,975 --> 00:37:11,562
saying, "I got up to 70 minutes
on the treadmill, I will be fine."
648
00:37:11,646 --> 00:37:15,233
And really, I didn't know how long
we were gonna be hiking the first day.
649
00:37:19,487 --> 00:37:22,782
Hayley, she has a significant disadvantage
650
00:37:22,865 --> 00:37:25,868
when it comes to going uphill
on icy conditions.
651
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,790
[Sian] But she's also tough as nails,
652
00:37:31,457 --> 00:37:34,252
and she just has grit and determination,
653
00:37:34,335 --> 00:37:37,088
and I think that that's
what helped get her through
654
00:37:37,171 --> 00:37:39,757
that most trying part of her life
when she was ten years old.
655
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,050
[Jared] You all right?
656
00:37:41,133 --> 00:37:43,302
[Hayley] Yeah, I just don't know
how I'm gonna get up.
657
00:37:51,936 --> 00:37:52,936
[Jared] Good job.
658
00:37:57,900 --> 00:38:00,653
You're almost at the top
and you're... you're doing it.
659
00:38:04,532 --> 00:38:06,659
It's not easy dragging uphill.
660
00:38:06,742 --> 00:38:08,995
And the higher up you go,
the harder it's gonna get,
661
00:38:09,078 --> 00:38:11,706
'cause you're getting tired
and, you know, you've got less air.
662
00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:19,294
[Hannah] So, as we go up in altitude,
the pressure drops, so we counter that
663
00:38:20,965 --> 00:38:22,842
by throwing in those pressure breaths.
664
00:38:28,306 --> 00:38:31,058
[Chris] Three-fourths of the way up,
you know, my legs were dying.
665
00:38:33,561 --> 00:38:36,647
And then Sian's there,
and she's struggling just as hard as I am,
666
00:38:36,731 --> 00:38:37,815
if not more so.
667
00:38:47,033 --> 00:38:49,233
[Jared] This shit is hard,
but you guys are doing great.
668
00:38:49,577 --> 00:38:52,830
You know you're gonna get there. Might
take a little bit, but you will get there.
669
00:38:52,913 --> 00:38:54,790
We are almost there.
670
00:38:54,874 --> 00:38:57,501
- You've got some pack weight there.
- Yeah, this is heavy.
671
00:38:58,419 --> 00:38:59,587
[Jared] I'll take it.
672
00:39:00,379 --> 00:39:03,567
[Sian] I got to that point where I'm like,
"Oh my goodness, this is never gonna end."
673
00:39:03,591 --> 00:39:06,260
And, you know, Jared was like,
"Let's take your backpack."
674
00:39:08,054 --> 00:39:09,305
Oh, yeah!
675
00:39:12,183 --> 00:39:13,183
Let's do it.
676
00:39:14,518 --> 00:39:18,064
So when we talk about the leadership
seat, the pillar that he's in,
677
00:39:18,147 --> 00:39:19,940
he really manifests that.
678
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:23,220
- [Jared] How you feeling, Hayley?
- [Hayley] I feel great.
679
00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:25,821
I didn't feel good earlier.
680
00:39:25,905 --> 00:39:27,448
[Jared] Your footwork is rock sol...
681
00:39:27,531 --> 00:39:29,784
it's like you're getting more comfortable
for sure.
682
00:39:29,867 --> 00:39:30,868
[Hayley] Yeah.
683
00:39:35,122 --> 00:39:37,541
One last push, and we're there.
684
00:39:41,337 --> 00:39:42,505
Fifteen minutes!
685
00:39:43,047 --> 00:39:44,632
We can do anything for 15 minutes.
686
00:39:44,715 --> 00:39:46,300
Yeah, you guys ready? 15-minute push?
687
00:39:46,384 --> 00:39:49,637
So like basically, the amount of time
we're gonna get to space.
688
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:50,763
[Jared] Yeah, pretty much.
689
00:39:50,846 --> 00:39:52,223
All right, let's do it.
690
00:39:53,265 --> 00:39:56,310
One more step, one more step,
one more step.
691
00:39:56,394 --> 00:40:01,023
[Hannah] You're hitting 10,000 feet,
so altitude should be hitting you.
692
00:40:01,107 --> 00:40:03,043
Okay, now when you launch,
you'll be well above...
693
00:40:03,067 --> 00:40:05,861
Look at that. Muir is right there.
694
00:40:09,782 --> 00:40:10,908
Visualize it, guys.
695
00:40:11,534 --> 00:40:12,535
Homestretch.
696
00:40:13,244 --> 00:40:14,745
Let's do it!
697
00:40:17,331 --> 00:40:18,499
[all cheer]
698
00:40:18,582 --> 00:40:20,702
- [Hayley] We made it!
- [Jared] So proud of you guys!
699
00:40:20,751 --> 00:40:22,128
I am so proud.
700
00:40:24,463 --> 00:40:26,966
- Awesome!
- All right, guys. I want a group-hug.
701
00:40:27,049 --> 00:40:28,384
[all exclaim]
702
00:40:29,844 --> 00:40:31,387
- Awesome.
- That was so awesome!
703
00:40:31,470 --> 00:40:34,140
Everybody had one giant group hug
at the top of the mountain.
704
00:40:34,223 --> 00:40:37,518
I wanted and needed that
so bad at that moment,
705
00:40:37,601 --> 00:40:41,063
'cause I was on the verge
of just breaking down.
706
00:40:41,147 --> 00:40:42,690
[Jared] You guys crushed it.
707
00:40:43,482 --> 00:40:44,358
And you guys look great.
708
00:40:44,442 --> 00:40:46,277
What badasses.
709
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,463
[Chris] The best leaders are
the ones that are encouraging
710
00:40:48,487 --> 00:40:52,950
their team to be their best selves,
and that's exactly what Jared's doing.
711
00:40:53,617 --> 00:40:56,328
[Sian] Definitely the hardest hike
I've ever done in my life.
712
00:40:56,412 --> 00:40:57,913
Oh, my God, by far.
713
00:40:58,664 --> 00:41:01,709
If I knew that we'd be hiking
for nine-and-a-half hours,
714
00:41:01,792 --> 00:41:03,210
I would've said, "I can't do this."
715
00:41:03,294 --> 00:41:07,756
But I'm glad I didn't know,
because now I know how much I can do,
716
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,384
and I realized
I was putting a limit on myself
717
00:41:10,468 --> 00:41:12,011
that didn't need to be there.
718
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:17,183
Which tent is the warmest out of the ten?
719
00:41:17,266 --> 00:41:18,266
The one that you're in!
720
00:41:19,310 --> 00:41:23,105
You know, the lessons that I personally
learned was not being afraid
721
00:41:23,189 --> 00:41:26,859
to ask for help and show
vulnerability and weakness.
722
00:41:26,942 --> 00:41:32,865
So to have, you know, my commander come
and be able to say, "Yeah, we got you,"
723
00:41:32,948 --> 00:41:35,451
I think that that was
really powerful for me.
724
00:41:35,534 --> 00:41:39,788
I just... I don't wanna move.
I don't... I just wanna lay down
725
00:41:39,872 --> 00:41:42,166
and not have to do anything.
726
00:41:43,292 --> 00:41:47,004
I'm so happy to be in my tent.
727
00:41:48,130 --> 00:41:51,717
They did fantastic, I'm so proud.
I'm like, I can't stop smiling actually.
728
00:41:52,676 --> 00:41:54,386
I want everyone to understand
729
00:41:54,470 --> 00:41:57,389
what it's like to be very,
very uncomfortable
730
00:41:58,098 --> 00:42:01,810
and go through challenging circumstances
and push yourself in a situation
731
00:42:03,896 --> 00:42:06,148
to an outcome that
you never thought was achievable,
732
00:42:06,232 --> 00:42:10,986
and do that all here on Earth, now,
before we're faced with that situation,
733
00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:13,155
you know, up there in space.
734
00:42:24,708 --> 00:42:26,752
[telephone ringing]
735
00:42:33,717 --> 00:42:34,802
[Colleen] Hello?
736
00:42:34,885 --> 00:42:36,220
Hey, it's Hayley!
737
00:42:38,055 --> 00:42:39,974
[Colleen] Hey! Oh, my gosh.
738
00:42:40,057 --> 00:42:41,475
How are you?
739
00:42:41,559 --> 00:42:44,436
I'm good. I'm calling you on,
like, a satellite phone.
740
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,730
- [Colleen] You're safe, right?
- Yeah, no, it's...
741
00:42:46,814 --> 00:42:48,166
[Colleen] You're not in the hospital,
are you?
742
00:42:48,190 --> 00:42:51,485
I'm not at the hospital, no.
I'm at the campsite.
743
00:42:51,569 --> 00:42:54,280
We hiked up for nine
and a half hours yesterday.
744
00:42:55,698 --> 00:42:58,033
[Colleen] Oh, my gosh, how's your leg?
745
00:42:58,117 --> 00:43:00,995
Surprisingly great.
746
00:43:01,078 --> 00:43:02,496
[Colleen] Oh, my gosh.
747
00:43:03,497 --> 00:43:05,666
[Hayley] A couple years after my dad died,
748
00:43:05,749 --> 00:43:09,962
I found one of the boards
I had broken in tae kwon do.
749
00:43:10,045 --> 00:43:12,131
He wrote on there, and he said,
750
00:43:12,214 --> 00:43:14,842
"I'm more proud of you
for conquering your fear
751
00:43:14,925 --> 00:43:17,845
than for earning your brown belt.
Love, Dad."
752
00:43:19,722 --> 00:43:23,392
I looked at that board so much
before the Mount Rainier trip,
753
00:43:23,475 --> 00:43:27,062
because I was nervous
to go on Mount Rainier,
754
00:43:27,146 --> 00:43:31,358
and I knew that he would be more proud
of me for conquering my fear
755
00:43:31,442 --> 00:43:33,485
than for conquering the mountain.
756
00:43:34,194 --> 00:43:35,904
But anyway, I just wanted to call
757
00:43:35,988 --> 00:43:38,699
and let you know that I'm fine,
I'm actually doing great.
758
00:43:38,782 --> 00:43:39,992
[Colleen] I'm so glad.
759
00:43:40,075 --> 00:43:42,119
And surprisingly, I love mountaineering.
760
00:43:43,746 --> 00:43:44,826
[Colleen] Oh, that's great!
761
00:43:44,872 --> 00:43:47,333
- All right. Love you!
- Love you.
762
00:43:47,958 --> 00:43:49,793
[Colleen] Okay. Bye.
763
00:43:53,464 --> 00:43:56,925
A couple people have said, "You're
gonna be closer to your dad than ever
764
00:43:57,009 --> 00:43:58,552
when you're in space."
765
00:44:00,304 --> 00:44:01,889
It's a really nice thought,
766
00:44:03,015 --> 00:44:05,059
but I don't know if I believe that's true,
767
00:44:06,185 --> 00:44:08,854
because I believe
he's with me all the time.

[Jeffrey] Astronauts often talk about
something called "the overview effect."
774
00:44:34,004 --> 00:44:37,508
Frank Borman,
the commander of Apollo 8 said,

"This must be what God sees."
