for us

22
00:01:02,470 --> 00:00:59,280
hi my name is sydney enos and my

23
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:02,480
question is how long does it take to get

24
00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:03,280
in

25
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:10,159
well we go from zero to 17

26
00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:13,360
500 miles an hour in just eight minutes

27
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:14,960
and 20 seconds

28
00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:17,680
and when those main engines start it's

29
00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:18,560
like

30
00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:23,040
going a thousand miles an hour

31
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:25,040
and it's incredible the amount of thrust

32
00:01:29,270 --> 00:01:26,880
and then we get into orbit pretty

33
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:29,280
quickly and we're hundreds of miles up

34
00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:32,720
into space going really really fast

35
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:34,640

space station and i could see stars i

43
00:01:55,270 --> 00:01:52,159
could see the moon but the most exciting

44
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:55,280
thing i i've seen while i was up here is

45
00:02:00,469 --> 00:01:57,680
planet earth we have such a beautiful

46
00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:00,479

00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:05,360
rivers we can even see cities and roads

49
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:07,280
it's really amazing

50
00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:09,920
hi my name is jake rocky and my question

51
00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:13,040
is do you need any type of military

52
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:15,360
training to go up in space

53
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:18,560
hi jake i'm in the united states navy

54
00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:21,520
and mike here is in the u.s air force

55
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:22,560
but

56
00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:25,040
um the rest of our crew

57
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:27,599
well we're about half about half of us

58
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:29,360
are in the military and half are not so

59
00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:30,800
to answer your question

60
00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:32,959
absolutely not you do not need to be in

61
00:02:37,509 --> 00:02:35,519
the military to be an astronaut though

62
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:37,519
in my case and in mike's that that

63
00:02:41,589 --> 00:02:38,640
worked out

64
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:41,599
well for us thank you for your question

65
00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:44,319
hello my name is ashley drake and my

66
00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:46,319
question is why do you have to wear the

67
00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:50,080
whole spacesuit not just a helmet

68
00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:53,280
all right it sounds like ashley ashley

69
00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:56,959
it turns out there's no air in space

70
00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:58,319
and

71
00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:59,920
that's why you need air to breathe but

72
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:01,760
did you know that the atmosphere also

73
00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:04,480
puts pressure on our bodies and

74
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:06,239
if we go out into space without a

75
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:08,879
spacesuit on we blow up like a balloon

76
00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:11,280
and that would not be very good for us

77
00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:13,440
so we have to wear an entire we have to

78
00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:15,280
wear an entire spacesuit when we go

79
00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:17,519
outside not just a helmet like you might

80
00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:23,430
