MESSAGE 15: COL. BRESNIK LIVE FROM RUSSIA DURING FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR EXPEDITION 52/53 LAUNCH

Col. Bresnik takes time out of his last days of preparations to talk with Cadet Jared Turnage, who hopes to follow in Brenik’s footsteps someday. Turnage is a rising senior and physics major who is attending The Citadel on a U.S. Airforce scholarship and recently spent three weeks in pilot training learning to fly gliders.

The video signal from the Gargarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia, provided by NASA, is rough at the beginning of the conversation but clears up after the first minute.
