this -- Newsround. Hello, I'm Hayley and I'm live | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
for you in Moscow, Russia. That's about 2000 miles away | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
from where you are now. The reason I'm here is to meet | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
the first British astronaut to rocket to the International Space | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
Station, Major Tim Peake, before he goes on a mission that no | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
other Brit has ever done before. But before we get to that, | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
here's more about Tim Just 33 days to go before | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
Major Tim Peake sets off to space, The International Space Station, | :00:46. | :00:55. | |
or ISS, circling earth It's the largest man-made structure | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
in space, measuring roughly You can sometimes even see it | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
from Earth. For 15 years it's been | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
an important place to monitor our planet, carry out tests and research | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
and help with future space missions The crew, who are from lots | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
of different countries, have even And now we'll have our very | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
own British person on board. But living in space takes a lot | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
of preparation. Back here on Earth, | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
Tim Peake has been training hard for months already - exploring caves | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
underground, working underwater and But the reward for all his hard | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
work will be a view like this one. Tim is currently training for his | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
mission here in Moscow at Star City. It's where almost every astronaut | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
that has ever orbited the earth It's very rare to see inside, | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
but yesterday I got to go and see what it's like | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
and to meet Tim Peake himself. First training exercise of the day, | :02:11. | :02:27. | |
Tim get suited up and is joined by his crew members. They spent years | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
training and now blast offers only a few weeks away. Tim, it is your last | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
day of training, what are you doing? Are you prepared? The job today is | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
undocking from the space station and re-entry back to Earth. We have | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
prepared well for it. Tim goes to the should all to test his | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
capabilities. They're going through similar relation to see what it is | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
like to remove themselves from the space station and return to it, so | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
whatever he is going through now will be what he does in space. In | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
between, Tim did get time to speak to us. Tim, I've been in the replica | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
space station which is cramped. How do you deal with it? The space | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
station feels cramped, you get used to it. This is only... Less than | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
half the space station. How do you think this will change your life? It | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
is a wonderful experience and my ambition is to share it with as many | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
people as possible. And also to use it to contribute to the future | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
programmes. We are looking at going to the Moon and Mars. That is | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
exciting. Tell me, what is the deal with your weekends. You get weekends | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
in space? We do get weekends, Saturday morning we have deep clean | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
the house. We have to get the vacuum cleaner outcome all the filters, | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
they sucking in all the dirt. Nothing falls, dust doesn't fall | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
like your nerve. We have to vacuum all those grills out. I've seen some | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
of the training Tim has been doing here, but he is told been none of it | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
compared to how he will actually feel when he is living in outer | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
space. That first time you get a look back on Earth from the small | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
window will be the most wonderful experience, I'm sure. | :04:33. | :04:33. | |
