    "content": "9:50 AM, 4/12/10\n\nRussian President Dmitry Medvedev called the International Space Station\nearly Monday to mark the 49th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's historic flight,\nsuggesting an international space summit to discuss ongoing and future\ncooperative ventures on the high frontier.\n\n\"Space is our highest priority, regardless of how hard the economic\nsituation is in the country,\" Medvedev said in translated remarks. \"Space\nwill always remain our priority. This is not just somebody's interpretation,\nit's our official state position. I am here in my presidential office and\nwhen addressing you, I can confirm again the significance of space for the\ngovernment.\"\n\n\"We want to thank you again for today's holiday,\" station commander Oleg\nKotov replied.\n\nAll six Expedition 23 crew members - Kotov, Alexander Skvortsov, Mikhail\nKornienko, Tracy Caldwell Dyson, Timothy Creamer and Soichi Noguchi -\ngathered for the conversation in the U.S. Destiny laboratory module.\n\n\"On behalf of all of us here on the International Space Station, including\nour shuttle colleagues, we just want to wish everyone congratulations on\nthis historic day,\" Caldwell Dyson told the Russian president. \"It means as\nmuch to us for the event of Yuri's first launch as it does for all of the\npeople involved in making this space program possible. We're all filled with\ngratitude and appreciation. Congratulations to all of you.\"\n\nMedvedev told the space station crew that in the early years of the space\nprogram, \"development of cosmonautics was based on ideology and now, this is\nthe area where we should try to assist each other in creating the mechanisms\nthat will yield collective results. And this cooperation, I believe, is\nextremely important for the future, taking into account that space programs\nbecome more and more complicated, more and more costly, and the goals that\nwe set become more and more complicated.\n\n\"No country can develop space alone, we need to combine our efforts and we\nneed to talk about it more often,\" he said. \"So maybe we could have some\nsort of international meeting, maybe at the heads of governments level.\nBecause we talk about various issues, such as tackling all kinds of\nchallenges, dangers and hazards that humanity is facing these days, various\ndisarmament programs, etc., but there is a very important and positive\nfactor that unites us all. So maybe it would be good to have a summit, maybe\nat the heads of governments level, for the countries that are working in\nspace. So see, I have a very good idea on this holiday. What do you think?\nWe could invite you to participate as well.\"\n\nKotov called the International Space Station \"a great example of\ninternational cooperation where we have two completely different technical\nschools, Russian and U.S., and we combine our effort, we found the\ninterfaces not only for machines but also for humans and we've created this\nwonderful, fully functional station ... and that is something that should be\nused in the future.\n\n\"Together, we have created a single organism,\" Kotov said. \"The crew\nfunctions as one body even though it consists of representatives from\ndifferent countries. We have had a European astronaut on board, we have\nJapanese astronauts on board right now, we have American astronauts,\nRussian, and we understand each other perfectly, we don't have any conflicts\nand I hope this will be true also regarding our cooperation everywhere\nelse.\"\n\n\"Oleg, those are very good words, it's nice to hear that,\" Medvedev replied.\nThen he changed the subject, saying \"I think it will be a mistake if I don't\nask you some simple questions. How's life?\"\n\n\"Well, it's like one of the most popular questions that we're asked - what\ndo you like best in space?\" Kotov said. \"And my answer is always two things:\nweightlessness and the view out of the window. Also, just life in this three\ndimensional space, where walls and floor and ceiling become all the same.\nThat's very interesting, and it takes changing your mind the way you think\nabout your surroundings.\"\n\nMedvedev asked if the absence of gravity caused any problems for the station\ncrew.\n\n\"I can tell you honestly in my first flight, I noticed one month into the\nflight I had this feeling as though I had been living in space and\nweightlessness my entire life, it became such a natural part of my thinking\nthat I didn't have any problems,\" Kotov said.\n\n\"Everything was so natural, so pleasant, so comfortable, you get used to all\nthe minor negative details of being in weightless, you begin to enjoy the\npositives tremendously. And that's something you don't forget and your body\nremembers that. It was interesting. After I came back to Earth, I was\nuncomfortable, actually, experiencing Earth's gravitation. To me, it was\nstrange to see the people not only walking on the surface of the planet, but\nalso running. It seemed very difficult.\"\n\nMedvedev asked about the food on the International Space Station, wondering\n\"are they feeding you well?\"\n\n\"Food in space is different from the ideas people have based on what they\nknew in the 60s or 70s,\" Kotov said. \"The food becomes more and more similar\nto what we eat on Earth. We don't have any tubes. We do have cans and the\nvariety is pretty good. Because we're using the resources of all the space\nagencies, we have a very international cuisine. We have Japanese food, we\nhave American food, European style, no complaints here.\"\n\n\n\n-- \n73\nFabiano Moser CT7ABD / PY5RX\n\n\"There is no great talent without great will.
