Life on earth, and. Also for some sports and physical education events, of course, it becomes less there are, lets say, a lot of skills that are suitable, those that we dont even control absolutely here, well , theres bipedalism, just taking and sitting from a standing position, for example, something that we dont even think about here, all this is not used in space , and accordingly neural connections, they both arise and are destroyed, which is why control. Of the body , of course, suffers, as for muscle structures, yes, they are partially lost, especially those that are not used, which is why, in fact, we run, jump, do weights, so that our cartilaginous tissues were pumped, and the bone did not lose much calcium, well, that is, everything that is on board is still intended to stop the negative factors of space flight, but of course they cannot be completely avoided, i think you also remember very well, our feelings, we in addition to dropping indicators, for example, weight, yes, what weight we lift , frequency, approaches, we record a video about once, i dont know, a month of how we perform certain exercises, specialists, in general, we are correct whether we do them, so there is always control, and the most important thing is that it does not cause harm, does not get injured, which is, in principle , theoretically possible, so your task is to save us, well, more or less, so that when we return to earth, we would be well recovered as quickly as possible, so we talked about baikanur, about your first trip, but you were lucky, you have already been to more than one cosmodrome, not only to baikandur, you were not so long ago, this is when your wife, anna kikina, was the first russian to fly on an american ship, that is, for her no one did this, and naturally it was she who accompanied her to houston, then to florida, the start itself, yes, that is, before the start she also continued to study. Under your sensitive leadership, as well as probably with the okp, she was always in my group, then i also accompanied this crew, initially this the crew of the iss68, this is crew training with commander sergei prokopyev, who is now in space, dmitry pitelin, a flight engineer, also, who is in space with us, but then there was a reshuffle and anna went to dragoni, now with the guys there, but also the support of physical training remained with me, we also had contact while she was in space, just like with all the astronauts, and when you were rotating, you met her, yes, yes, yes, i met her, at the Johnson Space center, that is , i no longer, yes, yes, yes, it was in houston, here, this is a cosmonaut training center, only american, astronauts, or rather, yes, its correct to say, i have met. she was there, well, you met her as a husband or, well, as a husband, of course, im not going anywhere, but your task was to meet her as a specialist, then you were on a business trip, yes, of course, you too they sent you not just to meet her, but to help her, because she didnt immediately fly to russia, how long she was there , i dont know, a couple of weeks exactly, yes, 10 days, 10 days she recovered, after that she was able to fly , fly to moscow with these. Yes, with one transfer, we got to russia, to moscow, we already met her here and continued rehabilitation measures, you say that you only met in houston, and she landed in florida, yes, why didnt you end up in that place, i know the doctor was with her, our doctor, the center for sweating astronauts, her marriage, why were you not there, you are both a husband and a senior trainerteacher, you were specially sent there to meet her and restore her as quickly as possible, but you didnt ended up on that ship, but so it happens, i was just part of the task force, in the task force everyone has, as it were, their own. Purpose, their place, their role, and of course, we adhere to all of this, so the doctor is mandatory, this is the first one who meets you, the crew doctor, and definitely looks at your condition, if necessary, takes measures, that is , during her return landing, well, splashdown, yes it turned out, you were already in houston, waiting, yes, i was in houston , i was waiting at the Johnson Space center. But since i had a role a little mixed, all the families went to the airport where the plane arrived, uh, on which the crew was brought, so i also left for this airport, i boarded this plane, we were already together with rusana serebryakova, this is the crew doctor, yes, we are together they were already taking anya out, they put her in the car, then they were moving. To the place of our rehabilitation. What were your emotions . Do you remember when you saw her, oh, after her sixmonth flight, here she is back, a real cosmonaut, you know, i think that here probably, uh, such heres the range of emotions, uh, its like, youre put together like a specialist, but at the same time, of course, youre just happy like, well, i dont know, like a child, when you dont see a loved one for a very long time and. You meet him, and i didnt renovate, so i let her go to the station for six months, no, other astronauts, cosmonauts, astronauts, cosmonauts, well, we have very warm friendly relations, in fact, everyone does, so somehow, i dont know, even the question is somehow here well, it did nt arise, but here i dont know, well, you know, there is work, and the team with which we we work, he is probably more, he is really very warm and quite familiar, and there are absolutely different relationships, the most incomprehensible in this world, the fact that it is comprehensible, a burning desire to see the true and most complete picture, this is the reason for a persons desire for new knowledge, and if you collect all the available facts, then you can explain any phenomenon in the universe, on the path. Understanding the world, it is very important to continue asking questions and finding answers to them, as they have been doing for many years in the intellectual club, what, where, when, the autumn series of games, on sunday on the first and always on one tv. Ru. So, we talked about returning, then our rehabilitation begins. So there should also be the same trainer, a personal trainer, whom the crew has as a doctor, tell us about this stage after returning, and after returning, what do we see, we are used to seeing that the cosmonauts do not walk on their own, they are literally taken out of there capsules, it doesnt matter if its dragon or our union, they carry them out right in their arms, sit them on chairs, and then we dont see them practically walking, if they walk, then they are necessarily supported by either a coach or a doctor, yes, yes, yes, thats true, in fact , the cosmonaut may be in quite. Good physical condition, that is, muscles and so on, muscles, but at the same time he cannot walk maybe for sure, but for the reason that he is simply unaccustomed, his body has forgotten how to do it automatically, that is, the neural connections have not yet been restored to this action and it has not yet turned into automatism, and constantly keeping everything under control, especially after the flight, lets say so, from the station to the ground, the descent is quite a difficult thing, energetic, yes, lets call it that. So, of course, at first you just need to give support, support to the person, so that his vestibular system comes into harmony, he remembered, got used to it, i remember, uh, even after the fourth flight there, yes, but its like experience, i recovered quickly, that is, it seemed to me that i didnt need support, but all the time i felt the elbow of my doctor and the trainer nearby, it turned out like this, if you walk up the steps, yes, i see the step and. I raise my leg and walk, if i start to get distracted and talk to someone , yes, i seem to raise my leg, well, automatically the steps, that there are 14 cm or whatever it is according to the model, but i forget during these six months that there are theres still gravity and im missing a little bit, as soon as i turned away, i started talking lalala to someone, you make sure to cling to this step with your toe, i remember this exactly after every flight, it seems normal, whats wrong with climbing three or four steps to the dispensary, well, i wore it from time to time, so, of course, we always need a trainer, yes, yes, well, our rehabilitation is divided into two large stages, yes, this is an acute period, when the astronaut has just descended, fresh, he still. Smells of space so stellar this 3 weeks approximately, yes, thats 21 days, as a rule, at this stage we dont put a lot of stress on the musculoskeletal system , that is, we need to strengthen it, every day, yes, definitely, the pool, which is heated specifically for the astronaut, is normal, but here here is 50 of success, lets say, its easier to recover in water, well, just starting to, i dont know, walk, probably not run, walk, right . Yes, of course, the calf is already the second stage, the stage after 21 days, the crew, again with a trainer and a doctor, fly out to, well, some kind of sanatorium, in principle, usually the astronauts themselves choose where they want, exactly, good , when its summer, the sea, yes, sometimes its winter, but in winter we dont go skiing right away, and where did you have rehabilitation now, now as rehabilitation is in pyatigorsk, we were there in a sanatorium, yes, yes, yes, in our fmmba, well, its good there, to walk, in pyatiggorsk, to the mountains, from the mountains, that is, what you need, the very thing, water, of course, yes, mineral, it, i, literally, for several , i dont know, weeks there, was just in this sanatorium , this year, before your rehabilitation, that is, i went there myself, drank some water, yes, thats what they told us, yes. He told me that the pros and cons of this particular place, im just starting to remember, the first time i went through rehabilitation in karloh vavarach, well, its an old one, well, not soviet, but a sovietera resort, where i always go our workers went, well, like abroad, after all, its abroad , and then i was in greece twice, to crete, and i, too, once with the First Official crew, we also went to. Crete in greece, probably too there, because astronauts , they always share experiences with each other, where is good, where is good, like sensations, like emotions, like a state, so we are already following in your footsteps, it turns out, we also went with the forty seventh, for you this is a vacation , so i know for sure that for me this is rest, well, rehabilitation, then yes, i worked in space for six months with a clear conscience, i eat, they give me a massage, i drink water, i walk, thats it, but this is not a vacation for you. It turns out that this is not a vacation for me, its a job for me, but since i do what i love, i never have to work, i just always do what i love, i really like my work, my profession, so i can say yes, that i m also on vacation, i just have a number of other interesting, wonderful things to do, you love your work so much, but we talked about when anya applied. You tried to join the cosmonaut corps, well, maybe later, but yes, if you have such a thought now , the thought is there, we have open recruitments, yes, now they have been made open, so its very cool that we are now taking up space, yes, i tried to pass, and where, where did they catch you, me, well, obviously not in physical education, no, not in physical education, oddly enough , they caught me in the teeth, you can cure, yes, yes, yes, i think you have already cured, everything is being done , yes , now absolutely, there are chances, well, great, chances, yes, all the chances, selection is an interesting thing, i think that if there is opportunity, you definitely need to participate, yes, so that later you dont, dont regret that you didnt participate, we continue the conversation with the coach, alexander serdyak, tell me what you remember most from the trip to america, from the trip to america, i went there with. And i think that the most striking event for me, of course, was the start of dragon cru5, with your colleagues, american, i mean coaches, have you met, have you communicated . Yes, we know each other, we talked, i saw them, how they prepare their astronauts, precisely the training itself, no, its different in some way, something they are better, the difference, yes, most likely there is a difference, i heard from the astronauts that there is a difference, well, because we still communicate, and what kind of ones are in the process of work. Do they have anything good that can be adopted from them . Good things that can be adopted, i think that there is always something to learn from foreign teams, these are some crossfit things, very interesting, they have a lot of work on team building, its also interesting when they are in teams, its the astronauts who compete with each other , well, this is such a competition more, probably, gamerelated, not exactly the kind that need to be won, but of course they are also divided into teams from time to time in different ways, but this is very cool, this is very Interesting Team work and is associated with physical activity, i think that this is very possible. It will also become more widespread here, we just said that you have a desire, plans in the future, to join the cosmonaut corps, and perhaps you will be the first space family to appear on the iss, there are such plans, you you are discussing with anya, the plan is a thing, of course, anya is here, she was here , she told us this, it would be very, very cool, it would be very cool, that this is just such a plan, just like that. Unfortunately, that is, well, i dont know what the Training Plan is, well, two cosmopts in the family is cool, i think, yes, i think it would be very cool, but how you met, its not about space, of course, on an abstract topic, yes, ill tell you, we met at a competition, well , somewhere else we could have met, but where else are we we could get acquainted, there were rafting competitions, rafting is rafting, on mountain rivers, on inflatables. Well, they are called rafts, that is, its not who swam to whom, especially since i understand that womens teams and mens, or its somehow mixed, and the teams have separate mens categories, separately womens ones, well, how in all of them you didnt fight among each other, no, we werent direct competitors, were just from different cities, so somehow it turned out that we came for these competitions, such a city, the city of gornoaltaisk, is the capital and separately from it there are locations on the katun river, there is the ilgumensky rapids, where the russian cup, the russian championship takes place, that is , its not easy, its good, enough, ratings, we have to tell you what she was doing, she wasnt just in this boat , yes, of course, she was an athlete in this boat, as far as i remember, she was even the captain, well, for some time, yes, yes, she was the captain of the novosibirsk team, for a moment she sat in a different composition, well, also like athletes from time to time they go there and well , you won something from club to club, no, neither you nor she, about anyas team, to be honest, i dont think so either, for some reason you didnt earn gold medals then, but at least you met, but at least i think that on these competitions, probably each of us received the most important prize, yes, we met, we. continued our acquaintance, communication , and subsequently we seem to do some very interesting things together. Tell those people who also want to join the cosmonaut corps, what should they do now, what exercises would you recommend, well, not just run, what would you advise , so that they come prepared, well, of course, we are there to do 12 pullups, we need to run, swim, if possible, than thats what you would say Pay Attention to. Pay more attention, pay more attention specifically to physical, i think that any athlete , even of some narrowly focused specialization, is already 50 ready, of course, to take a diversified approach to his physical training, that is, if there are any swimming skills , then questions or ill run there, all these standards are presented in open access, you can easily go to the cpca website. Yes, when the recruitment is announced, there will be a document, even now, now you can already look, i dont think that they will undergo any major changes, so you can easily rely on what has already been before, test yourself, test there too , where there are some shortcomings, of course, try to strengthen them, it is better to work with trainers , after all, teachers, because professionals, yes, professional ones, because no matter how not every person can prepare himself, but if well. To be honest to the end, then the coachteacher will always prepare the athlete better than he himself, otherwise the olympic champions would not have coaches, they would prepare themselves and elevate them to national standards, here you are, sasha, youve been working for a long time in the space industry, you understand perfectly well what risk is, space flight, i mean, you were at anyas launch, you saw this huge rocket, yes, you saw the launch itself, were you afraid, did you have any feeling at this moment at the moment of start . Space rocket, uh, maybe you can call it more excitement, yes, excitement, worry, but probably no fear as such, very interesting, also our experience literally the day before the launch of the rocket, exactly seven astronauts were brought to it, our cosmonaut, they showed us the rocket, practically, thats even so, yes, thats how i see you, that is, i stood near the rocket and. I could look at it, it was on the launch pad, where it was already, and its launch was postponed, and yes, there was a postponement, one due to weather conditions, well , its not critical, theres literally a window there again in just a couple of days, everythings fine, very, very its cool that you could go up to the rocket, look at it together, that yes, indeed, here it is, it exists, then we saw the excitement already at the launch, yes, of course, from the very beginning, when people come out, wave, sit in the car and they go to their launch pad, to their rocket and until the moment. Of entering the station, of course, all this is in such an emotional mixture, lets say, this is joy, of course, because this is a journey of 10 years, this is this, this is a lot , yes, 10 years, this is just such a period of life, lets say, well, do you remember her first call from the station, from space, yes, of course, and when it happened, it happened, i mean from the moment of launch, they probably flew for about a day, right . A little more, yeah, they flew for a little more than a day, and then when anna called me, you were still in america, she said that yes, everything is great, everything is great, yes, well, you remembered this phone number, theres a special one telephone, no, well, you cant call it there, no, no, at least youll know, missed, that they called now, but i dont know, it seems to me that you cant confuse it with anything, just when, yes, you see a number that starts with plus one, its not quite. Common at least for russia and you understand that someone is in space, then youre unlikely to reset it, but really, very good, come on lets fantasize, as you think, as a professional, coach, teacher, what a person will do in space in 50 years, uh, considering that we celebrated 60, well, our space era, thats about the same leap forward, considering how they are developing now technology, which in genera
