would be a cool way to take your lives. >> pretty much just happened that way. we were always interested in similar things growing up but never really talked about becoming astronauts. it wasn't until we were both in the navy and flying as test pilots it seemed possible. there are so many people that apply for this job. there's a lot of luck involved to be a successful applicant and get selected. so it really is i think luck and timing certainly preparation plays a part but you know it is pretty much a, you though, due to things outside of our control i guess you would say. >> folks if you are just messing around on the internet at work today, go to nasa and click on mark and scott kelly. your careers are just distinguished. i don't want to take away from

before mark did and you know we both had similar training and experiences, both as you know test pilots and astronauts before we actually flew. and after my first flight i tried to explain to mark what the first eight and a half minutes of the mission, was like, and to the best of my ability, and then when he got back and was getting out of the shuttle after landing and i was there to greet him. the first thing he said to me was that he no idea what the assent was going to be like. it is just that much of an impressive incredible experience to be riding the rocket behind or in front of 7.5 million pounds of thrust. >> that would qualify you for daytona 500. you would be on with that. i will tell you that is serious muscle. is there anything you guys given your space flight experience have disagreed on

where you said you are not even close on that one just brotherly conversation? >> we -- i can't think of anything. scott is coming up on a big mission more like a marathon. he is very focused on this longer training flow and a longer flight. i am focused on 13 days with my crew and we execute the mission together. we do discuss that a lot. i can't think of anything we have disagreed on yet though with regards to my flight i still have about five to six months in front of me before we launch. >> unfortunately the time is running short. good luck to both of you on your commissions. congratulations on the past success and have just a great future hanging out together and reliving serving the quite together in the navy and nasa. >> thanks. appreciate it. >> thank you. that's very, very cool. very cool in deed.
