1
00:00:07,829 --> 00:00:03,909
excellent question all right

2
00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:09,910
what things did you have to study to be

3
00:00:13,509 --> 00:00:12,320
an astronaut

4
00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:13,519
all right that's a good question you

5
00:00:16,870 --> 00:00:15,360
guys are all extraordinarily trained

6
00:00:19,429 --> 00:00:16,880
what uh

7
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:19,439
if we've got some budding astronauts

8
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:20,880
over here what

9
00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:22,240
what should they be doing i'm assuming

10
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:24,480
they better hit the books on science and

11
00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:30,950
that's uh you got it just right the uh

12
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:32,640
one of the beautiful things about uh

13
00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:34,960
getting to work here is uh you can study

14
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:37,360
uh just about anything that uh that

15
00:00:41,910 --> 00:00:39,840
you're really interested in uh science

16
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:41,920
and math being a big part of it but we

17
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:43,520
have uh

18
00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:45,680
medical doctors

19
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:48,160
geologists

20
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:50,640
engineers and

21
00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:53,760
physicists in the group here with us

22
00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:55,920
so it's pretty much anything in the math

23
00:00:58,869 --> 00:00:57,440
and science field

24
00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:58,879
we've got a couple of school teachers

25
00:01:03,910 --> 00:01:00,719
here with us

26
00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:03,920
so studying education as well as the

27
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:05,439
math and science

28
00:01:10,469 --> 00:01:07,920
but there really is room up here for for

29
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:10,479
everybody the important part though is

30
00:01:15,109 --> 00:01:13,119
to work really hard and do well in

31
00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:15,119
school it will make a difference in your

32
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:19,429
and what about

33
00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:20,400
what about

34
00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:23,759
fitness requirements these days

35
00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:25,600
you know some of us remember watching

36
00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:27,759
the right stuff where

37
00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:29,360
oh

38
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:32,159
that's pretty impressive

39
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:34,000
uh

40
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:41,510
go ahead

41
00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:45,920
president the fitness requirements are

42
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:47,759
still uh still there

43
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:49,360
matter of fact the international space

44
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:51,360
station just recently incorporated a new

45
00:01:55,270 --> 00:01:53,520
fitness machine it's like it's a very

46
00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:55,280
very fancy

47
00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:57,520
uh workout machine you see in a gym but

48
00:02:01,590 --> 00:01:59,360
it's called the a red and we can do a

49
00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:01,600
lot of good exercise on the leg action

50
00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:03,280
strength uh training for your legs as

51
00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:05,280
well as your upper body so

52
00:02:09,270 --> 00:02:06,880
particularly for the long duration folks

53
00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:09,280
it's very important to maintain

54
00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:11,200
your muscles in good tone and help you

55
00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:12,800
read that when you get back on planet

56
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:17,430
excellent okay there's a young lady back

57
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:23,350
um when you say you exercise what do you

58
00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:32,309
well we have a couple of different uh

59
00:02:37,270 --> 00:02:34,560
exercise machines up here on the space

60
00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:37,280
shuttle we brought up it looks like a

61
00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:38,879
like a bicycle that you would find in a

62
00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:40,879
gymnasium so we can use that

63
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:42,560
and they have one here on the space

64
00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:43,680
station

65
00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:45,680
and the other machine you can do all

66
00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:48,879
kinds of stuff you can do squats

67
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:50,959
you can do curls so we have a lot we can

68
00:03:00,550 --> 00:02:53,040
do we also have a treadmill so you can

69
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:03,110
any this okay we've got another question

70
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:06,000
from a young man hold on

71
00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:08,080
do you know how many stars they are

72
00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:10,319
in the space

73
00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:14,159
asking how many stars in space

74
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:15,440
i'll be interested in hearing the answer

75
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:24,710
well

76
00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:26,959
aboard the international space station

77
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:29,120
we can look down and see our beautiful

78
00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:31,120
planet earth and we can also look up and

79
00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:33,360
see the rest of the cosmos and we can

80
00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:35,680
see that there are so many stars out

81
00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:37,599
there that it's very hard to count them

82
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:39,840
all and we can see that our earth is a

83
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:42,319
very small very small planet in such a

84
00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:44,239
big universe and it's just really

85
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:46,480
amazing because it gives us a a deep

86
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:48,640
perspective of that we have to really

87
00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:50,640
take good care of our own planet and

88
00:03:54,309 --> 00:03:52,720
that our own planet is just a is a small

89
00:03:56,710 --> 00:03:54,319
place and we have the whole rest of the

90
00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:56,720
universe to work together in an

91
00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:58,720
international sense and go go explore

92
00:04:01,589 --> 00:04:00,239
this whole universe that's in front of

93
00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:01,599
us and all the discoveries that we'll

94
00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:04,000
make together so maybe we'll someday be

95
00:04:07,509 --> 00:04:05,519
able to count how many stars that we

96
00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:07,519
have because we've we're starting to go

97
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:10,000
to the go to the stars as human beings

98
00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:11,760
together and that's what's really

99
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:13,360
exciting about serving aboard the

100
00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:15,360
international space station and flying

101
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:17,280
up and down on space shuttles is that

102
00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:18,959
we're part of that great adventure and

103
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:21,919
we need you kids to study hard because

104
00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:24,000
we we can't do it all by ourselves we

105
00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:27,120
really need you guys to to work hard and

106
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:29,360
do whatever you're supposed to do and do

107
00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:30,240
it well
