a part of this with him, he brings you in and you are truly like his teamatee. he is not the type of actor to show up, do you stop and go back to his trailer. that is not his thing. he s incredibly dedicated to making a film and if you get to work with him, you get a masterclass in so many different aspects of it. including flying planes. you know, i was telling the producers and i was saying, i don t want to be tom. let tom do. i am a land actor. i don t need to go up in the air. what the hell? good morning, aviators. this is your captain speaking. the obvious question, and i know this has been talked about quite a bit, as you are injets and the forces and everything that s going on. the g forces. you know your stuff. how was the stomach? i felt like i was going to throw up every time we got up there. so you are wearing a g suit,
two hundred and fifty miles up above us and then a crew up there right now there s seven people up there. they are waiting and going to be given a big welcome once this fourth person crew arrives there in roughly the 20 hours from now. the nasa nasa astronauts are cajal lindgren, robert hines, jessica watkins and italy s samantha cristoforetti of the european space agency. colorado s jessica watkins will be making history on this six month trip living and doing research on low earth orbit. she is serving as the mission specialist and she will become the first black woman to join the isis for a long duration. stay roughly six months and here is a little tidbit at stanford. she played on the national champion women s rugby team. so you know, she s a tough cookie and she can handle the g forces. she s about to experience. all right. we re about two and a half minutes away. this is going to be a great
