What I learned from going blind in space | Chris Hadfield | TED

Translator: Ivana Kopisova Reviewer: Martina Salyova

What's the scariest thing you've ever done?

Čo je najdesivejšia vec, akú ste kedy urobili?

Or another way to say it is,

Alebo inak...

what's the most dangerous thing that you've ever done?

Čo je najnebezpečnejšia vec, akú ste kedy urobili?

And why did you do it?

A prečo ste to urobili?

I know what the most dangerous thing is

Viem, čo najnebezpečnejšie

that I've ever done

som spravil ja,

because NASA does the math.

pretože v NASA to vypočítali.

You look back to the first five shuttle launches,

Stačí sa pozrieť na prvých päť štartov raketoplánov.

the odds of a catastrophic event

Pravdepodobnosť, že pri niektorom z nich

during the first five shuttle launches

dôjde ku katastrofe,

was one in nine.

bola jedna k deviatim.

And even when I first flew in the shuttle

Dokonca aj pri mojom prvom štarte raketoplánu

back in 1995, 74 shuttle flight,

v roku 1995, bol to let č. 74,

the odds were still now that we look back

bola pravdepodobnosť, keď ju spätne vypočítame,

about one in 38 or so -- one in 35, one in 40.

zhruba 1 k 38... možno 1 k 35 alebo 1 k 40.

Nie sú to skvelé čísla, takže je to veľmi zaujímavý deň,

Not great odds, so it's a really interesting day

when you wake up at the Kennedy Space Center

keď sa zobudíte v Kennedyho vesmírnom stredisku

and you're going to go to space that day

a viete, že dnes pôjdete do vesmíru,

because you realize by the end of the day

pretože si uvedomíte, že kým deň skončí,

you're either going to be floating effortlessly, gloriously in space,

buď sa budete bez námahy elegantne vznášať vo vesmíre,

or you'll be dead.

alebo budete mŕtvi.

You go into, at the Kennedy Space Center,

V Kennedyho vesmírnom stredisku idete

the suit-up room,

najprv do šatne,

the same room that our childhood heroes

tej istej miestnosti, v ktorej sa obliekali

got dressed in,

hrdinovia nášho detstva,

that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin got suited in

Neil Armstrong a Buzz Aldrin,

to go ride the Apollo rocket to the moon.

pred cestou na Mesiac v rakete Apollo.

And I got my pressure suit built around me

Obliekli ma teda do tlakového obleku

and rode down outside in the van

a v dodávke Astro

heading out to the launchpad --

som sa odviezol

in the Astro van -- heading out to the launchpad,

na miesto štartu.

and as you come around the corner

Keď zatáčate za roh

at the Kennedy Space Center,

v Kennedyho vesmírnom stredisku,

it's normally predawn, and in the distance,

zvyčajne je pred svitaním a v diaľke

lit up by the huge xenon lights,

vidíte, ako veľké xenónové svetlá

is your spaceship --

osvetľujú vašu vesmírnu loď –

the vehicle that is going to take you off the planet.

vozidlo, ktoré vás odvezie z tejto planéty.

The crew is sitting in the Astro van

Posádka sedí v dodávke Astro,

sort of hushed, almost holding hands,

potichu, takmer sa držia za ruky,

looking at that as it gets bigger and bigger.

pozerajú na loď ako sa stále viac a viac zväčšuje.

We ride the elevator up

Výťahom sa vyvezieme hore

and we crawl in, on your hands and knees

a po štyroch prelezieme

into the spaceship, one at a time,

po jednom do vesmírnej lode,

and you worm your way up

potom sa ako červík preplazíte

into your chair and plunk yourself down

na sedadlo a zvalíte sa

on your back.

na chrbát.

And the hatch is closed,

Poklop sa zavrie

and suddenly,

a zrazu sa to,

what has been a lifetime of both dreams and denial

čo pre vás celý život bolo snom i pochybnosťou,

is becoming real,

stáva skutočnosťou.

something that I dreamed about,

Môj sen, niečo,

in fact, that I chose to do when I was nine years old,

čo som chcel robiť, už keď som mal 9 rokov,

is now suddenly within not too many minutes

je zrazu vzdialené len

of actually happening.

pár minút.

In the astronaut business --

Medzi astronautmi je

the shuttle is a very complicated vehicle;

raketoplán veľmi komplikovaným vozidlom,

it's the most complicated flying machine ever built.

je to najkomplikovanejší lietajúci stroj, aký bol kedy postavený.

And in the astronaut business, we have a saying, which is,

A medzi astronautmi máme také príslovie, že

there is no problem so bad

žiadny problém nie je taký zlý,

that you can't make it worse.

aby si ho nemohol ešte zhoršiť.

(Laughter)

(smiech)

And so you're very conscious in the cockpit;

Takže v kokpite ste v pozore,

you're thinking about all of the things

myslíte na všetky veci,

that you might have to do,

ktoré budete musieť urobiť,

all the switches and all the wickets you have to go through.

na všetky vypínače a klapky, ktoré máte skontrolovať.

And as the time gets closer and closer,

A ako sa ten okamih blíži,

this excitement is building.

vzrušenie narastá.

And then about three and a half minutes before launch,

A potom asi tri a pol minúty pred štartom

the huge nozzles on the back,

veľké trysky vzadu,

like the size of big church bells,

ktoré sú veľké ako kostolné zvony,

swing back and forth

sa pohnú dopredu a dozadu

and the mass of them is such

a sú také obrovské,

that it sways the whole vehicle,

že rozkolísajú celú loď,

like the vehicle is alive underneath you,

ako keby pod vami žila.

like an elephant getting up off its knees or something.

Je to ako keď sa slon snaží zdvihnúť z kľaku.

And then about 30 seconds before launch,

A asi 30 sekúnd pred štartom

the vehicle is completely alive --

je už loď úplne živá

it is ready to go --

a pripravená na cestu –

the APUs are running,

jednotky APU sú spustené,

the computers are all self-contained,

počítače vedia, čo robiť,

it's ready to leave the planet.

loď je pripravená opustiť planétu.

And 15 seconds before launch, this happens:

15 sekúnd pred štartom sa stane toto:

(Video) Voice: 12, 11, 10,

(video) Hlas: 12, 11, 10,

nine, eight, seven, six --

9, 8, 7, 6 –

(Space shuttle preparing for takeoff)

(raketoplán sa pripravuje na štart)

-- start, two, one,

– štart, 2, 1,

booster ignition, and liftoff of the space shuttle Discovery,

štartuje prídavný raketový motor a vzlet raketoplánu Discovery,

returning to the space station, paving the way ...

ktorý sa vracia na vesmírnu stanicu...

(Space shuttle taking off)

(vzlet raketoplánu)

Chris Hadfield: It is incredibly powerful

Chris Hadfield: Je to neskutočne silný zážitok,

to be on board one of these things.

byť na palube takéhoto vozidla.

You are in the grip of something

Zviera vás niečo,

that is vastly more powerful than yourself.

čo je omnoho mocnejšie, ako vy sami.

It's shaking you so hard you can't focus

Trasie vás to tak silno, že je veľmi ťažké sústrediť sa

on the instruments in front of you.

na všetky nástroje pred vami.

It's like you're in the jaws of some enormous dog

Akoby vás hrýzol obrovský pes

and there's a foot in the small of your back

a veľká noha sa vám zapiera do krížov

pushing you into space,

a tlačí vás do vesmíru,

accelerating wildly straight up,

rýchlosť šialene stúpa a smerujete hore,

shouldering your way through the air,

prebíjate sa cez vzduch

and you're in a very complex place --

a ste pritom na veľmi komplexnom mieste –

paying attention, watching the vehicle

musíte dávať pozor, sledovať loď,

go through each one of its wickets

prejsť všetkými klapkami

with a steadily increasing smile on your face.

so stále širším úsmevom na tvári.

After two minutes, those solid rockets explode off

Po dvoch minútach sa pevné rakety odpália

and then you just have the liquid engines,

a ostanú vám len kvapalné motory,

the hydrogen and oxygen,

vodík a kyslík,

and it's as if you're in a dragster

cítite sa ako v monoposte

with your foot to the floor

s nohou na podlahe

and accelerating like you've never accelerated.

a pridávate tak, ako nikdy v živote.

You get lighter and lighter,

Ste stále ľahší a ľahší

the force gets on us heavier and heavier.

a sila, ktorá sa na vás vyvíja, je väčšia a väčšia.

It feels like

Je to akoby

someone's pouring cement on you or something.

na vás niekto lial cement.

Until finally,

A keď sa

after about eight minutes and 40 seconds or so,

asi po 8 minútach a 40 sekundách

we are finally at exactly the right altitude,

dostaneme do tej správnej výšky,

exactly the right speed,

máme tú správnu rýchlosť

the right direction, the engine shut off,

a správny smer, motory sa vypnú

and we're weightless.

a sme v beztiažovom stave.

And we're alive.

A nažive.

It's an amazing experience.

Je to úžasný zážitok.

But why would we take that risk?

Ale prečo to riskovať?

Why would you do something that dangerous?

Prečo robiť niečo také nebezpečné?

In my case the answer is fairly straightforward.

V mojom prípade je odpoveď jasná.

I was inspired as a youngster

Už odmalička som po tom túžil,

that this was what I wanted to do.

vedel som, že toto chcem robiť.

I watched the first people walk on the moon

Sledoval som prvých ľudí na Mesiaci

and to me, it was just an obvious thing --

a pre mňa to vtedy bolo jasné –

I want to somehow turn myself into that.

chcel som sa stať nimi.

But the real question is,

Ale skutočná otázka je,

how do you deal with the danger of it

ako sa vyrovnáte s nebezpečenstvom

and the fear that comes from it?

a strachom, ktorý to prináša?

How do you deal with fear versus danger?

Ako sa vyrovnáte so strachom a ako s nebezpečenstvom?

And having the goal in mind, thinking about where it might lead,

To, že som stále myslel na svoj cieľ a na to, kam zrejme povedie,

directed me to a life of

ma nasmerovalo, aby som v živote

looking at all of the small details to allow

sledoval aj tie najmenšie detaily,

this to become possible,

ktoré mi umožnia naplniť,

to be able to launch and go help build a space station

aby som mohol odštartovať a pomáhať na stavbe vesmírnej

where you are on board a million-pound creation

stanice, ktorej stavba stála milióny libier

that's going around the world at five miles a second,

a ktorá sa točí okolo sveta rýchlosťou 5 míľ za sekundu,

eight kilometers a second,

teda 8 km za sekundu,

around the world 16 times a day,

takže Zem obíde 16-krát za deň

with experiments on board that are teaching us

a na palube robíme experimenty,

what the substance of the universe is made of

vďaka ktorým zisťujeme viac o zložení vesmíru,

and running 200 experiments inside.

takže vnútri prebieha 200 experimentov.

But maybe even more importantly,

Ale ešte dôležitejšia je zrejme možnosť

allowing us to see the world in a way

vidieť svet tak,

that is impossible through any other means,

ako nám žiadne iné okolnosti neumožňujú.

to be able to look down

Možnosť pozrieť sa dole

and have -- if your jaw could drop, it would --

a, keby vám mohla spadnúť sánka, tak spadne,

the jaw-dropping gorgeousness of the turning orb

vidieť dych vyrážajúcu nádheru točiacej sa zemegule,

like a self-propelled art gallery of fantastic,

ako galéria s vlastným pohonom plná úžasnej, stále sa meniacej nádhery,

constantly changing beauty that is the world itself.

ktorou je svet samotný.

And you see, because of the speed,

A vďaka tej rýchlosti

a sunrise or a sunset every 45 minutes

vidíte východ alebo západ slnka každých 45 minút

for half a year.

počas celého polroka.

And the most magnificent part of all that

Najúžasnejším zážitkom

is to go outside on a spacewalk.

je opustiť kozmickú loď a vyjsť do vesmíru.

You are in a one-person spaceship

Ste v kozmickej lodi pre jedného

that is your spacesuit,

– v skafandri –

and you're going through space with the world.

a vesmírom idete so svetom.

It's an entirely different perspective,

Je to úplne iná perspektíva.

you're not looking up at the universe,

Nepozeráte sa na vesmír,

you and the Earth are going through the universe together.

ale vesmírom idete spolu so Zemou.

And you're holding on with one hand,

Držíte sa jednou rukou

looking at the world turn beside you.

a sledujete, ako sa svet točí s vami.

It's roaring silently

Nečujne kričí

with color and texture as it pours by

farbami a textúrami

mesmerizingly next to you.

a očarujúco sa popri vás prelieva.

And if you can tear your eyes away from that

Ak od toho dokážete odtrhnúť zrak

and you look under your arm

a pozriete sa na druhú stranu

down at the rest of everything,

na všetko ostatné,

it's unfathomable blackness,

uvidíte nepreniknuteľnú čierňavu

with a texture you feel like you could stick your hand into.

s takou štruktúrou, až máte pocit, že do nej môžete strčiť ruku

and you are holding on with one hand,

a držíte sa len jednou rukou,

one link to the other seven billion people.

jediné spojenie s ostatnými siedmimi miliardami ľudí.

And I was outside on my first spacewalk

Keď som prvýkrát opustil vesmírnu loď,

when my left eye went blind,

oslepol som na ľavé oko

and I didn't know why.

a nevedel som prečo.

Suddenly my left eye slammed shut

Zrazu sa mi ľavé oko zavrelo

in great pain

a cítil som obrovskú bolesť,

and I couldn't figure out why my eye wasn't working.

ale netušil som prečo.

I was thinking, what do I do next?

Rozmýšľal som, čo spraviť.

I thought, well maybe that's why we have two eyes,

Povedal som si, že asi preto máme dve oči,

so I kept working.

a pokračoval som v práci.

But unfortunately, without gravity,

Ale bez gravitácie, žiaľ,

tears don't fall.

slzy nepadajú.

So you just get a bigger and bigger ball of whatever that is

Takže sa vám na oku tvorí len stále väčšia a väčšia kvapka

mixed with your tears on your eye

toho, čo spôsobuje problém, a sĺz,

until eventually, the ball becomes so big

až kým je zrazu priveľká,

that the surface tension takes it across the bridge of your nose

a povrchové napätie ju prenesie cez nos

like a tiny little waterfall

ako malý vodopád,

and goes "goosh" into your other eye,

ktorý vám zaplaví aj druhé oko.

and now I was completely blind

Potom som už bol slepý úplne

outside the spaceship.

a mimo vesmírnej lode.

So what's the scariest thing you've ever done?

Čo je teda najdesivejšia vec, akú ste kedy urobili?

(Laughter)

(smiech)

Maybe it's spiders.

Možno sú to pavúky.

A lot of people are afraid of spiders.

Veľa ľudí sa bojí pavúkov.

I think you should be afraid of spiders --

A myslím, že by ste sa ich mali báť –

spiders are creepy and they've got long, hairy legs,

sú desivé, majú dlhé, chlpaté nohy

and spiders like this one, the brown recluse --

a pavúky ako tento, hnedý samotár –

it's horrible. If a brown recluse bites you,

sú hrozné. Ak vás takýto pavúk uhryzne,

you end with one of these horrible, big necrotic things

na nohe vám vznikne takáto hrozná

on your leg

odumretá vec

and there might be one right now

a taký pavúk môže práve teraz

sitting on the chair behind you, in fact.

sedieť na sedadle za vami.

And how do you know?

A vy to ani neviete,

And so a spider lands on you,

takže ak na vás dopadne pavúk,

and you go through this great, spasmy attack

prejdete kŕčovitým záchvatom,

because spiders are scary.

pretože pavúky sú desivé.

But then you could say, well is there a brown recluse

Ale môžete sa však spýtať, či je na sedadle za vami

sitting on the chair beside me or not?

naozaj jedovatý pavúk?

I don't know. Are there brown recluses here?

Neviem. Žijú tu vôbec hnedí samotári?

So if you actually do the research, you find out that

Ak si spravíte výskum, zistíte,

in the world there are about 50,000 different types of spiders,

že na svete žije okolo 50 000 rôznych druhov pavúkov

and there are about two dozen that are venomous

a asi dva tucty z nich sú jedovaté.

out of 50,000.

Dva tucty z 50 000.

And if you're in Canada, because of the cold winters

Ak ste v Kanade, kvôli chladným zimám tu

here in B.C., there's about 720, 730 different types of spiders

v Britskej Kolumbii žije asi 720 až 730 rôznych druhov pavúkov.

and there's one -- one --

A z nich jeden – jeden –

that is venomous,

je jedovatý

and its venom isn't even fatal,

a jeho jed ani nie je smrtiaci,

it's just kind of like a nasty sting.

je to len nepríjemné bodnutie.

And that spider -- not only that,

A navyše – tento pavúk

but that spider has beautiful markings on it,

má na tele nádherné značky, ktoré akoby kričali

it's like "I'm dangerous. I got a big radiation symbol on my back, it's the black widow."

„Som nebezpečný. Mám na chrbte veľký symbol radiácie.“ Je to čierna vdova.

So, if you're even slightly careful

Takže si stačí dávať trochu pozor

you can avoid running into the one spider --

a môžete sa vyhnúť tomu jedinému pavúkovi –

and it lives close the ground,

navyše žije blízko pri zemi,

you're walking along, you are never going to go through

takže keď len tak idete, nikdy neprejdete cez

a spider web where a black widow bites you.

pavučinu s čiernou vdovou, ktorá vás uhryzne.

Spider webs like this, it doesn't build those,

Takéto pavučiny netvorí,

it builds them down in the corners.

robí si ich dole a v rohoch.

And its a black widow because

Volá sa čierna vdova,

the female spider eats the male;

lebo samička zožerie samčeka

it doesn't care about you.

a vy ju nezaujímate.

So in fact,

Takže nabudúce,

the next time you walk into a spiderweb,

keď prejdete cez pavučinu,

you don't need to panic and go with your caveman reaction.

nemusíte panikáriť a poslúchať svoj primárny inštinkt.

The danger is entirely different than the fear.

Nebezpečenstvo nemá so strachom nič spoločné.

How do you get around it, though?

Ako ho však prekonať?

How do you change your behavior?

Ako zmeniť svoje správanie?

Well, next time you see a spiderweb,

Keď nabudúce uvidíte pavučinu,

have a good look, make sure it's not a black widow spider,

dobre si ju obzrite, presvedčte sa, že to nie je pavučina

and then walk into it.

čiernej vody a potom cez ňu prejdite.

And then you see another spiderweb

A keď uvidíte ďalšiu pavučinu,

and walk into that one.

prejdite aj cez tú.

It's just a little bit of fluffy stuff. It's not a big deal.

Je to len páperovitá sieť, o nič nejde.

And the spider that may come out is no more threat to you than a lady bug

A pavúk, ktorý by na nej mohol byť, vám neublíži viac ako lienka

or a butterfly.

alebo motýľ.

And then I guarantee you if you walk through 100 spiderwebs

A garantujem vám, že keď prejdete 100 pavučinami,

you will have changed

zmeníte svoje

your fundamental human behavior,

vžité správanie,

your caveman reaction,

váš primárny inštinkt

and you will now be able to walk in the park in the morning

a budete sa môcť ráno prejsť v parku

and not worry about that spiderweb --

bez strachu z pavučín

or into your grandma's attic or whatever,

alebo vojsť na povalu v babkinom dome

into your own basement.

alebo do vlastnej pivnice.

And you can apply this to anything.

Tento postup môžete aplikovať na všetko.

If you're outside on a spacewalk and you're blinded,

Ak ste mimo vesmírnej lode a nevidíte,

your natural reaction would be to panic, I think.

prirodzenou reakciou je zrejme panika.

It would make you nervous and worried.

Boli by ste nervózni a mali by ste obavy.

But we had considered all the venom,

Ale my sme už zvážili všetky druhy jedov

and we had practiced with a whole variety of different spiderwebs.

a trénovali sme s celým radom rôznych pavučín.

We knew everything there is to know

Vedeli sme všetko, čo sa vedieť dá

about the spacesuit

o skafandri

and we trained underwater thousands of times.

a tisíckrát sme trénovali pod vodou.

And we don't just practice things going right,

Netrénujeme, čo robiť, keď všetko funguje,

we practice things going wrong all the time,

vždy trénujeme, čo robiť, keď sa všetko pokazí,

so that you are constantly walking through those spiderwebs.

takže cez pavučiny prechádzame stále.

And not just underwater, but also in virtual reality labs

A to nielen pod vodou, ale aj vo virtuálnej realite

with the helmet and the gloves

s helmou a rukavicami, takže

so you feel like it's realistic.

všetko sa javí ako reálne.

So when you finally actually get outside on a spacewalk,

Keď sa konečne dostanete mimo vesmírnej lode,

it feels much different than it would

je to úplne iný pocit, ako by bol,

if you just went out first time.

keby ste v takej situácii boli prvýkrát.

And even if you're blinded,

Takže aj ak ste oslepení,

your natural, panicky reaction doesn't happen.

vaša prirodzená panika sa nedostaví.

Instead you kind of look around and go,

Namiesto toho si len poviete:

"Okay, I can't see,

„OK, nevidím,

but I can hear, I can talk,

ale počujem, môžem hovoriť,

Scott Parazynski is out here with me.

je tu so mnou Scott Parazynski.

He could come over and help me."

Môže mi pomôcť.“

We actually practiced incapacitated crew rescue,

Dokonca sme trénovali aj záchranu nevládneho člena posádky,

so he could float me like a blimp

takže by ma dokázal presunúť ako aerostat

and stuff me into the airlock if he had to.

a napchať do pretlakovej komory, ak by bolo treba.

I could find my own way back.

Aj sám by som vedel nájsť cestu späť.

It's not nearly as big a deal.

Nič také sa vlastne nedeje.

And actually, if you keep on crying for a while,

Vlastne, ak ešte chvíľu plačete,

whatever that gunk was that's in your eye starts to dilute

to svinstvo vo vašom oku sa začne riediť

and you can start to see again,

a budete znovu vidieť.

and Houston, if you negotiate with them,

A ak budete vyjednávať s Houstonom,

they will let you then keep working.

dovolia vám pokračovať v práci.

We finished everything on the spacewalk

Takže sme prácu dokončili,

and when we came back inside,

vrátili sme sa späť dnu

Jeff got some cotton batting and took the crusty stuff around my eyes,

a Jeff mi bavlnenou vatou odstránil zoschnutú látku okolo očí.

and it turned out it was just the anti-fog,

V oku som nakoniec mal len

sort of a mixture of oil and soap, that got in my eye.

tekutinu proti zahmlievaniu, zmes oleja a mydla.

And now we use Johnson's No More Tears,

Teraz používame šampón Jonhson's No More Tears (Už žiadne slzy),

which we probably should've been using

asi sme ho mali používať

right from the very beginning. (Laughter)

už od začiatku. (smiech)

But the key to that is

Kľúčom je zvážiť si,

by looking at the difference

aký je rozdiel medzi

between perceived danger and actual danger,

vnímaným a skutočným nebezpečenstvom,

where is the real risk?

a čo je skutočným rizikom.

What is the real thing that you should be afraid of?

Čoho sa skutočne musíte obávať?

Not just a generic fear of bad things happening.

Nielen všeobecný strach, že sa stane niečo zlé.

You can fundamentally change your reaction to things

Svoju reakciu môžete zmeniť od základu,

so that it allows you to go places

aby ste sa mohli dostať na miesta

and see things and do things

a vidieť a robiť veci,

that otherwise would be completely denied to you ...

ktoré by pre vás inak boli nemožné...

where you could see the hardpan south of the Sahara,

Môžete vidieť drsnú južnú Saharu

or you can see New York City

alebo New York,

in a way that is almost dreamlike,

ktorý vyzerá skoro ako zo sna,

or the unconscious gingham of Eastern Europe fields

alebo vzorované polia východnej Európy

or the Great Lakes

či Veľké jazerá

as a collection of small puddles.

ako pár mláčok.

You can see the fault lines of San Francisco

Uvidíte zlomy San Francisca

and the way the water pours out under the bridge,

a prúdenie vody popod most

just entirely different

z úplne inej perspektívy,

than any other way that you could have

ako by ste mohli,

if you had not found a way to conquer your fear.

keby ste neprekonali svoj strach.

You see a beauty that otherwise

Uvidíte krásu,

never would have happened.

ktorú by ste inak nikdy nevideli.

It's time to come home at the end.

Nakoniec je čas ísť domov.

This is our spaceship,

Toto je naša kozmická loď,

the Soyuz, that little one.

Sojuz, tá maličká.

Three of us climb in,

Všetci traja do nej vlezieme,

and then this spaceship detaches from the station

potom sa loď odpojí od stanice

and falls into the atmosphere.

a spadne do atmosféry.

These two parts here

Tieto dve časti

actually melt, we jettison them and they burn up

sa roztopia, zhodíme ich a zhoria

in the atmosphere.

v atmosfére.

The only part that survives is the little bullet

Prežije iba tento malý náboj,

that we're riding in,

v ktorom sa vezieme.

and it falls into the atmosphere,

Ten padá do atmosféry

and in essence

a v podstate

you are riding a meteorite home,

je to ako viesť sa domov na meteorite.

and riding meteorites is scary,

A voziť sa na meteoritoch je desivé,

and it ought to be.

a aj by malo byť.

But instead of riding into the atmosphere

Ale namiesto toho, aby sme prešli atmosférou

just screaming, like you would

a jačali ako každý,

if suddenly you found yourself riding a meteorite

kto by sedel na meteorite

back to Earth -- (Laughter) --

naspäť na Zem – (smiech) –

instead, 20 years previously

sme sa pred 20 rokmi

we had started studying Russian,

začali učiť po rusky.

and then once you learn Russian, then we

A keď sme sa naučili po rusky,

learned orbital mechanics in Russian,

naučili sme sa o orbitálnej mechanike v ruštine

and then we learned vehicle control theory,

a potom sme sa naučili teóriu ovládania vozidla.

and then we got into the simulator

Potom sme šli na simulátor

and practiced over and over and over again.

a trénovali sme to stále dokola.

And in fact, you can fly this meteorite

A na tomto meteorite môžete letieť

and steer it and land in about a 15-kilometer circle

a kormidlovať ho a pristáť s ním v okruhu 15 km

anywhere on the Earth.

kdekoľvek na Zemi.

So in fact, when our crew was coming back

Takže, keď sa naša posádka

into the atmosphere inside the Soyuz,

na Sojuze vracala do atmosféry,

we weren't screaming, we were laughing;

nekričali sme – smiali sme sa,

it was fun.

bola to zábava.

And when the great big parachute opened,

A keď sa otvoril náš veľký padák,

we knew that if it didn't open

vedeli sme, že keby sa aj neotvoril,

there's a second parachute,

mali sme druhý padák

and it runs on a nice little clockwork mechanism.

a oba fungujú na skvelom presnom mechanizme.

So we came back, we came thundering back

Takže keď sme sa vracali späť, rútili sme sa

to Earth and this is what it looked like

na Zem a takto to vyzeralo,

to land in a Soyuz, in Kazakhstan.

keď náš Sojuz pristál v Kazachstane.

(Video) Reporter: And you can see one of those

(video) Reportér: Tu vidíte jednu

search and recovery helicopters, once again

z vyhľadávacích a záchranných helikoptér,

that helicopter part of dozen such Russian

je to jedna z tuctu takýchto ruských

Mi-8 helicopters.

helikoptér Mi-8.

Touchdown -- 3:14 and 48 seconds,

Pristátie – 3:14 a 48 sekúnd

a.m. Central Time.

centrálneho času.

CH: And you roll to a stop

CH: Kotúľate sa, kým zastanete,

as if someone threw your spaceship at the ground

akoby niekto hodil vašu loď na zem

and it tumbles end over end,

a tá robí premety, ale vy

but you're ready for it

ste na to pripravení,

you're in a custom-built seat,

ste v špeciálnom sedadle,

you know how the shock absorber works.

viete, ako funguje tlmič otrasov.

And then eventually the Russians reach in,

Nakoniec prídu Rusi,

drag you out,

vytiahnu vás von,

plunk you into a chair,

posadia na stoličku

and you can now look back at

a vy už môžete spomínať

what was an incredible experience.

na nezabudnuteľný zážitok.

You have taken the dreams of that

Sny

nine-year-old boy,

9-ročného chlapca,

which were impossible

ktoré boli nemožné

and dauntingly scary,

a skľučujúco desivé

dauntingly terrifying,

a hrozivé,

and put them into practice,

ste premenili na skutočnosť

and figured out a way to reprogram yourself,

a našli ste spôsob, ako preprogramovať seba samého,

to change your primal fear

zmeniť svoj primárny strach tak,

so that it allowed you to come back

aby vám umožnil vrátiť sa

with a set of experiences and a level of inspiration

so zážitkami a inšpiráciami

for other people

aj pre iných ľudí,

that never could have been possible otherwise.

ktoré by ste inak nikdy nezískali.

Just to finish, they asked me to play that guitar.

Požiadali ma, aby som na záver zahral na gitaru.

I know this song,

Poznám jednu pieseň,

and it's really a tribute to the genius

ktorú zahrám na počesť génia

of David Bowie himself,

Davida Bowieho.

but it's also, I think,

A myslím, že je aj

a reflection of the fact that we are not machines

pripomenutím, že nie sme len strojmi,

exploring the universe,

ktoré skúmajú vesmír,

we are people,

ale sme ľudia

and we're taking

a musíme našu schopnosť

that ability to adapt

prispôsobiť sa

and that ability to understand

a schopnosť pochopiť

and the ability to take

a preniesť vnímanie samého

our own self-perception into a new place.

seba na úplne novú úroveň.
