00:00at the launch pad.
00:04And here they come.
00:05Crew 10 taking their first steps outside as they prepare for their journey to the International
00:11Space Station.
00:15From left to right, Kirill Peskov, Nicole Ayers, Anne McClain, and Takuya Onishi.
00:27Well, this is the second time they've done this, so when you do something a second time,
00:35does it have the same feeling?
00:36Yeah, you know, I think it's actually probably a little bit better for them, because some
00:40of those have kind of gone through it already the first time, and so I think they're probably
00:44a little bit more relaxed, but still feeling all of that excitement and exhilaration for
00:49launch day.
00:50Back live now at the launch pad as your commander and pilot walk towards the elevator after
01:02taking a look at their rocket for the second time, heading up the launch tower.
01:12Getting into that special elevator, and I'm not sure, I'm guessing maybe Anne will get
01:15to push that button, but it's the best button in the elevator, because it says space.
01:24That seal that you were talking about, of course, incredibly important.
01:27That's just simply orbital mechanics, depends on the time that you're launching, where the
01:32space station is relative to you, and all of these factors, so it could be a very short
01:37flight and could be longer.
01:39Yeah, absolutely, I know that they are all so proud of her today.
01:44So excited for her.
01:45I never forget that first moment when you see your first, all of the other astronauts
01:51and cosmonauts that are flying, and every launch, of course, is very special when it's
01:55one of your friends or colleagues, but it's a little bit special.
01:58Inside the astronaut office that so much attention has been given to their return.
02:04Yeah, definitely a lot of attention, that is what we live for, and that's really our
02:09main intent of being astronauts, is to go to space and to do science and to do vehicles,
02:14and all different aspects of the space station program.
02:16So we know, we accept the mission, knowing what the plan is, but tracking a roughly less
02:21than 5% chance of violation at our target liftoff time of 7.03 p.m.
02:26Ignition, and liftoff, go SpaceX, go NASA crew.
02:33We're continuing to get good call-outs on the first stage performance so far.
02:44Despite the vehicles traveling just under 4,000 miles per hour.
02:55We're just about 20 seconds away from those events that.
02:59Copy, two alpha.
03:03Great call-outs and incredible views there on your left-hand screen, on your left-hand
03:08screen you can see a view from stage one.
03:13And there we have our first images of the crew inside the Dragon spacecraft as they
03:17make their way into orbit.
03:20Awesome views.
03:21And on the right-hand side of your screen, you can see that lone Merlin vacuum engine
03:25of the second stage.
03:26We're continuing to get good performance.
03:32There's that landing burn, let's watch as Falcon 9 touches down on landing zone one.
03:39Choose cooperation and believe in the inherent goodness of all people across the world.
03:53To my family and friends, without you, I would not be here.
