school who just got his radio license 25 00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:34,159 for this kentucky he's going to speak on 26 00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:36,720 behalf of all students are you ready for 27 00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:38,880 the first question that over 28 00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:41,840 absolutely i am ready 29 00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:44,320 hello to friends speaking 30 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:46,720 uh question question number one by 31 00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:49,200 valentine how did you feel during your 32 00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:51,920 first day in space over 33 00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:53,920 this answer for valentine my first day 34 00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:56,560 in space was in september of 2000 the 35 00:02:01,030 --> 00:01:58,880 board of space shuttle mission and it 36 00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:01,040 was absolutely wonderful 37 00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:01,840 and 38 00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:04,560 my second day in space my second trip to 39 00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:07,920 space was equally so and when i launched 40 00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:09,440 about a month and a half ago to return 41 00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:12,000 to space station exactly the same uh 42 00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:13,520 this is uh 43 00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:16,160 from a physical standpoint um i both 44 00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:17,760 flying in space and i love flying in 45 00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:19,599 space from the minute the rockets the 46 00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:22,080 rocket then should start this is uh this 47 00:02:26,949 --> 00:02:24,400 is really one of my uh what am i like 48 00:02:32,229 --> 00:02:29,510 question number two by mati 49 00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:32,239 was becoming an astrologer children 50 00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:35,519 did someone inspire you like a war model 51 00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:40,309 and i have to say as a child 52 00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:42,160 when i watch the apollo vicious shortly 53 00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:44,000 before my eighth birthday that is what 54 00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:45,920 got me interested in space it got me 55 00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:48,400 interested in astronomy but i did not at 56 00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:50,640 that age not and not until i was already 57 00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:52,720 an adult actually think about becoming 58 00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:54,400 an astronaut to me it didn't seem 59 00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:57,120 something possible and i think that's an 60 00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:00,480 important lesson for kids today is to 61 00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:03,680 dream big and to see those dreams to 62 00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:06,560 fruition if at all possible and for me 63 00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:08,239 it wasn't until i was already a pilot 64 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,400 the coast guard and a colleague of mine 65 00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:12,640 became you know uh was selected for the 66 00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:14,080 astronaut program that i think about 67 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:16,239 doing this before 68 00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:19,200 question number three by marco reb 69 00:03:26,149 --> 00:03:21,280 how do you cope with cultural 70 00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,159 differences between astronauts over 71 00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:28,480 i have never seen it be an issue with 72 00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:30,400 cultural differences between astronauts 73 00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,680 at board space 74 00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:33,519 uh nor during our training everybody 75 00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:36,000 that does this does it because of a real 76 00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:38,159 uh love for space flight a love for 77 00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:40,720 exploration and the cultural differences 78 00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:43,360 in our opinion i think are such a minor 79 00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:45,280 part we are all humans we're all human 80 00:03:49,589 --> 00:03:48,640 space explorers and we'd love to exist 81 00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:49,599 thanks 82 00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:51,760 question number four 83 00:03:55,509 --> 00:03:52,959 by luca 84 00:03:58,229 --> 00:03:55,519 have you ever done funny experiments in 85 00:04:01,270 --> 00:03:58,239 space could you give us some examples 86 00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:03,190 one of the experiments that we did just 87 00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:05,519 yesterday just uh you know 88 00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:08,319 not official by any means but you can uh 89 00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:09,840 through a conservation of angular 90 00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:12,319 momentum you can change the attitude of 91 00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:14,400 the orientation that you are in relative 92 00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:17,040 to inertial space well relative to the 93 00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:18,400 the surrounding structure and space 94 00:04:22,950 --> 00:04:20,959 station for example if i just stand in 95 00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:22,960 for i just float in the body of open 96 00:04:26,870 --> 00:04:25,199 buying the space station and if i tell 97 00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:26,880 my legs like i would if i were on a 98 00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:29,440 bicycle if i pedal those legs forward my 99 00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:31,360 body will go backwards if i pedal my 100 00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:33,680 legs backwards my body will go forward i 101 00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:35,919 can do the same thing and jaw with my 102 00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:38,320 legs rotating counterclockwise beneath 103 00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:41,120 me and my upper body will turn clockwise 104 00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:42,479 you can do it with your arms or your 105 00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:45,199 legs it looks very funny but it has 106 00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:47,680 perhaps interesting implications for how 107 00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:50,080 we might control attitude in the in the 108 00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:56,550 question number five girlfriend we have 109 00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:00,639 taken pictures of the iss with telescope 110 00:05:05,749 --> 00:05:03,759 have you also got the kind of equipment 111 00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:05,759 and do you have time to observe the 112 00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:10,469 we don't have enough time to clear the 113 00:05:14,550 --> 00:05:12,960 stars onboard space station uh our days 114 00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:14,560 are very busy at the end of the day so 115 00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:16,000 we'll have a chance to do that we have 116 00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:18,320 wonderful cameras with wonderful long 117 00:05:24,150 --> 00:05:21,680 lenses on the order of 1 600 millimeters 118 00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:24,160 and we can also be our cameras allow us 119 00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:27,840 to take uh relatively fast exposures um 120 00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:29,360 even at deep space so we've taken 121 00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:31,199 pictures of comets of stars and all 122 00:05:35,189 --> 00:05:33,120 kinds of other things myself i'm an 123 00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:35,199 amateur astronomer i have telescopes 124 00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:37,680 that i use a lot on planet earth 125 00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:39,280 i've never actually imaged the space 126 00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:41,600 station i'm not trying to do that but uh 127 00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:44,639 i've done uh image stars and uh 128 00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:47,759 galaxies and nebula before 129 00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:50,880 thanks question number six by coming 130 00:05:56,309 --> 00:05:53,440 have you already experienced 131 00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:56,319 extravehicular activity over 132 00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:57,840 again 133 00:06:02,070 --> 00:05:59,759 this was a couple of years ago at sps 134 00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:02,080 115 we did one i did one of the 135 00:06:05,909 --> 00:06:03,600 spacewalks to help 136 00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:05,919 build the international space station uh 137 00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:08,000 electrical power system to put some of 138 00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:10,240 the large solar rays that we have on the 139 00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:12,960 us segment of space station and uh as 140 00:06:18,469 --> 00:06:15,520 much fun as space flight is relative to 141 00:06:19,909 --> 00:06:18,479 uh to life on earth a space walk is that 142 00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:19,919 much more fun 143 00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:20,720 than 144 00:06:23,430 --> 00:06:22,319 even working aboard the space station to 145 00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:23,440 see if you're 146 00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:25,360 independent of anything around you to 147 00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:26,960 see the earth through very thin 148 00:06:32,469 --> 00:06:28,960 polycarbonate lens of the 149 00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:32,479 of the uh the space advisors is just a 150 00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:40,790 does your water recovery system filter 151 00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:43,680 over the water and is it really 152 00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:49,589 probably on the overall of about 70 of 153 00:06:53,589 --> 00:06:52,080 the wastewater and it greatly reduces 154 00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:53,599 our 155 00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:57,440 ground that is important we want to go 156 00:07:01,270 --> 00:06:59,199 to mars we want to go to the boat and 157 00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:01,280 stay there we have to be able to use 158 00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:04,080 almost everything that we have 159 00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:07,039 question number eight by vermont 160 00:07:12,070 --> 00:07:09,120 have you already got the first results 161 00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:12,080 of the alpha magnet 162 00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:14,960 spectrometer experiment 163 00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:16,479 and over 164 00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:18,479 we have not yet got that i know of 165 00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:20,080 preliminary results from the alpha 166 00:07:24,629 --> 00:07:22,319 magnetic spectrometer it has already 167 00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:24,639 discovered and captured uh 168 00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:27,360 millions i believe at this point of 169 00:07:31,830 --> 00:07:29,840 both battery antibiotic particles so 170 00:07:33,189 --> 00:07:31,840 that data is still being analyzed in the 171 00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:33,199 ground and it will be this is a 172 00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:35,120 long-term experiment to actually find 173 00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:36,160 the things 174 00:07:39,749 --> 00:07:37,759 the information out that we want about 175 00:07:41,749 --> 00:07:39,759 dark matter dark energy is going to take 176 00:07:43,589 --> 00:07:41,759 a lot of time and a lot of computational 177 00:07:46,869 --> 00:07:43,599 work 178 00:07:49,189 --> 00:07:46,879 thanks christopher 9 by murray what has 179 00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:49,199 been the most exciting experiment for 180 00:07:53,589 --> 00:07:52,160 you so far over 181 00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:53,599 i think one of the most exciting 182 00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:56,080 experiments that has a tremendous amount 183 00:07:59,909 --> 00:07:58,319 of potential for life on earth is the 184 00:08:01,830 --> 00:07:59,919 experiment that we're doing in a 185 00:08:03,270 --> 00:08:01,840 combustion integrated rack this rack 186 00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:03,280 allows us to 187 00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:05,840 suspend small droplets of various 188 00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:07,680 different fuels in all different kinds 189 00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:11,199 of environments and very precisely study 190 00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:13,360 in a controlled session absent gravity 191 00:08:18,869 --> 00:08:15,680 absent to the gravity-infused convection 192 00:08:21,029 --> 00:08:18,879 exactly how the fuel is combusted and 193 00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:21,039 through doing that we can improve the 194 00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:22,720 fuel efficiency of cars on earth 195 00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:24,720 intellectual power generation plans we 196 00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:28,319 can also improve flight safety for a 197 00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:30,319 space environment design better fuel 198 00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:32,320 systems and better fire suppression 199 00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:34,560 systems for spacecraft and future 200 00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:36,240 spacecraft over time 201 00:08:40,630 --> 00:08:37,760 roger many things 202 00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:40,640 then this is compact only one you left 203 00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:42,560 this is a great day for all of us it 204 00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:44,640 concludes it concludes more than a year 205 00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:46,880 of close collaboration between school 206 00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:49,279 and our radio club we are quite happy to 207 00:08:54,070 --> 00:08:52,160
