17
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,800
(Parmitano) One of
my earliest memories

18
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,440
is being asked
what I wanted to be when I grew up,

19
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,320
and, as a child, I said: an astronaut.

20
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:42,960
I said it with the same spirit a child
today says: Superman or Batman.

21
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
It was the same idea.

22
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,560
(Parmitano) But that idea

23
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:56,360
of a job that is unique, wonderful,
fun, adventuresome,

24
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,840
has stayed with me all my life.

25
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,160
(Parmitano, child) As years passed,
I became more humble, modest,

26
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,800
but at present I am the only Italian
who has walked in space,

of Italy and Europe,

30
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,640

the reality of space technology.

31
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,640
In Sicily there are no structures

32

that connect you to the aerospace world.

33
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,200
So, I drew away from the idea.

34
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:45,600
I was brought close to the idea of flying
when I was an adolescent.

35
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,400
That's when the path began taking shape

36
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,040
which, 30 years later, led me to wear

there was one Soviet-style shopping mall

110

112
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,240
must take individual exams
before a commission

113
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,280
to show they are able
to intervene manually in the phases

114

of flight with the Soyuz
that are most complex, dangerous.

is contact with the Station, the docking,

Now my daughters study here and I work,
have worked, at NASA

169
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,320
here in Texas.

170
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,280
(Coach) Today what we're gonna do
is a quick shakeout run.

171
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,600
- What this will do is keep your body lose.
- Alright. Let's do this.

172
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:29,640
(Parmitano) To be Ironman still winning the title
is fantastic.

173
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,920
For those active in this sport,
the Ironman Triathlon is a unique event.

174
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,600
Hi, everybody!

175
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,640
- How are things?
- Fine. Hot?

176
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,080
Hoof!

177
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,320
(Parmitano, child) I decided to prepare
for Ironman while I was still in orbit, in 2013.

178
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:00,480
There's physical deterioration after a mission,
and a long rehabilitation period.

179
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,240
I wanted to show it could be done
within a year after returning to Earth.

180
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,520
(Parmitano, child) Who could have guessed
that for sport, I'd have swum 2.4 miles,

181
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,160
biked 112 miles
and ended with a marathon?

(THE CHILD SIGHS)

183
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,920
(Parmitano) Here I calculate the time
for a full race.

184
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,600
I'll describe a typical lunch.
It really is my typical lunch.

185
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,600
I don't know if other athletes do this diet.
I don't think so.

186
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,680
One measure of nuts,

187
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,640
I think they're called Brazil nuts,

188
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,520
pumpkins seeds, two measures.

189
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:57,200
I hope Italian food-lovers
and international chefs aren't aghast,

190
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,080
but this is my lunch.

191
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,600
(Parmitano, child) My eating habits have changed
through the years and will again.

192
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:25,480
(Parmitano, child) The launch is one year away,
I'm ending the theoretical part of my training,

193
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,520
now, at last, the practical part begins.

194
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:17,640
(FAINT DIALOGUES)

195
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,040
(Parmitano) A spacesuit is called an EMU,
Extravehicular Mobility Unit.

196
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,480
It's comprised of about
18 thousand parts.

197
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,440
The outside layer is puncture resistant,

198
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,240
it protects from extreme changes
in temperature, solar radiation

199
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:13,200
and micrometeorites, that travel
more than 27 miles per hour.

200
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,520
(Parmitano, child) And I'd add:
what a hole without it!

201
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,080
(Parmitano) A spacesuit is
the most expensive attire in the world,

202
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:23,840
it costs about 15 million dollars.

203
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,520
Among the materials used for the outside
are: nylon, neoprene and Gore-Tex.

204
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,280
Underneath we wear a special garment

205
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,240
that is called LCVG,
Liquid Cooling and Venting Garment,

206
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,920
covered in cooling tubes
to the length of about 300 feet.

207
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,560
And we use cooled water
to maintain a constant body temperature

208
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,560
during extra-vehicular activity,
or EVA.

209
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:59,080
A spacesuit permits
the dispersion of body heat,

210
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:02,560
the controlling of connections,
and the communications needed

211
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,520
to monitor the state of health
of the astronaut.

212
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:11,520
We also wear adult absorbent pads
to accumulate urine.

213
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,560
(Parmitano, child) I didn't wear diapers
as a child

214
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,400
but I had to wear them in space
at 42 years of age!

215
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,640
(Parmitano) The spacesuit weighs
about 308 pounds here on Earth.

216
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:41,680
Training has saved my life many times,

217
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,560
both as a pilot and during my second EVA,

218
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,520
when the spacesuit had a failure.

219
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,520
- (Woman) Action!
- (Man) Yes!

220
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,120
(Parmitano, child) Food tastes the same in space,

221
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,360
but it's the way it's eaten
that can be galactic!

222
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,440
It's like a rainbow of colors in here!

223
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,280
(Parmitano) Space food is no different
than food on Earth.

224
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,320
To take it into space,
it must be pre-cooked

225
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:22,200
or ready-to-eat, maybe adding water.

226
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,120
Ready?

227
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,880
- (Parmitano) Say it.
- (Woman) Three... two... one!

228
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,160
Oh!

229
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,400
Well, we guess we do.

230
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,240
Good morning!

231
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,440
(Parmitano) NASA trainers call them "Acers",

232
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:10,560
it's an acronym to indicate

233
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:15,080
they're both exercisers and trainers
of our physiological recovery.

234
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,280
(Parmitano, child) In space, muscles atrophy

235
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,680
and there are problems of osteoporosis
due to the lack of vitamin D

236
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,520
given the impossibility
of being in the open air.

237
00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:43,600
(Parmitano, child) All astronauts do 2.5 hours
of mandatory physical activity

238
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:48,240
to avoid muscle complications
caused by microgravity.

239
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,600
(Parmitano, child) There's also
a galactic vision... in all senses.

240
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,440
(Parmitano, child) With less gravity,
the body tends to lengthen.

241
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,640
(Parmitano) I think I lengthened almost 2 inches.

242
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,600
(Parmitano) Training in the pool
is one of my favorites.

243
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:57,760
It puts you close to space conditions
while still on Earth.

244
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:13,040
(Parmitano) Dressing seems
very complicated on Earth,

245
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,840
in orbit it is too,
but for different reasons.

246
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,440
Here, it's a problem
of gravity and dimensions.

247
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,760
In orbit it's harder to get inside

248
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,920
because we can't push ourselves
into the spacesuit,

249
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:36,080
so, in a certain sense, although it's different,
it's realistic for when we're in orbit.

250
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,480
(Parmitano, child) The pool at NASA
is one of the largest in the world.

251
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:02,080
202 feet long, 101 feet wide
and 40 feet deep.

252
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,440
Under the water is a partial replica
of the International Space Station.

253
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,720
(Parmitano) The advantage of working underwater
is that the spacesuit is,

254
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,080
as far as possible, in neutral balance.

255
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:21,680
This allows us
to get familiar with the spacesuit,

256
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,160
which would normally weigh
hundreds of pounds,

257
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,640
without the exertion
of this weight on you.

258
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,960
What we need to understand
when we work in the pool

259
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,200
is the exertion, frustration

260
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,400
of working in a very strenuous,
pressurized environment

261
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,240
in which movement is limited.

262
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:49,840
It's a full-scale, 360-degree training,
with similarities and diversities,

263
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,200
but, in general,
it's an extraordinary training.

264
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:58,600
The only type of training
that teaches the use of a spacesuit.

(Man) And you cut out a little bit...

267
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,880
(Parmitano) A spacesuit is
totally isolated, pressurized.

268
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,560
The pressurization gives
an atmosphere inside the spacesuit,

269
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,080
when in extra-vehicular activity
or underwater,

270
00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:20,520
so not to be crushed
by the pressure of the water.

271
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:26,080
From a physical standpoint, it's one
of our most complex training drills

272
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:32,160
because it's like doing endurance sport activity,
therefore, long duration.

273
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,760
We spend six hours underwater,
more than seven inside the spacesuit,

274
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,400
including pressurization,
dressing and so on.

275
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,240
It's exhausting,

276
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:48,360
we can't eat,
we have only half a quart of water

277
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,320
and all movement is extremely tiring.

278
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:57,520
My hands are white, this is due to
the pressure of the spacesuit.

279
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,080
My nails are a bit ruined
because of the pressure of the gloves.

280
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:05,520
The spacesuit
is adapted to each astronaut,

281
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:10,400
but it's not tailor-made,
so there are some constrictions.

285
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,520
We go over the checklist.

286
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,520
Okay, we're good to go.

287
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,520
(Parmitano) The Ironman Triathlon
started in Hawaii.

288
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:47,040
It was born in Honolulu
as the result of a bet.

289
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:52,760

about which sport,

290
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,720
which athlete,
had the greatest endurance.

291
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,560
"Let's have a race
in which we combine all three!"

292
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,520
One of them said: "The one who wins
will be called Ironman".

of the International Space Station.

340
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,920
(Parmitano) To know a culture,
you need to identify

(Parmitano) Kenji explained a tradition
for all those who approach the temple.

344

You're presenting yourself

with the pure water of the fountain.

So, I'd better prepare

at 62 miles from the surface.

encounters outer space at that point.

At Baikonur, many traditions
and superstitions are respected.
