1 00:00:08,179 --> 00:00:03,669 station this is Houston on space grant 2 00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:11,449 we are ready for the event tech museum 3 00:00:17,679 --> 00:00:13,440 this is Mission Control in Houston 4 00:00:26,060 --> 00:00:20,480 station this is tech museum how do you 5 00:00:27,470 --> 00:00:26,070 hear me we've got we've got you loud and 6 00:00:41,899 --> 00:00:27,480 clear welcome aboard the International 7 00:00:44,660 --> 00:00:41,909 Space Station good morning commander dan 8 00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:44,670 and flight engineer Don we are proud to 9 00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:46,559 be here from the tech museum San Jose 10 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:49,920 with some special guests our students 11 00:00:54,349 --> 00:00:52,050 from fifth grade washington elementary 12 00:01:00,559 --> 00:00:54,359 school also located down the street from 13 00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:00,569 the tech museum well it's fantastic to 14 00:01:07,039 --> 00:01:02,460 be with you today and we're looking 15 00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:07,049 forward to some great questions all 16 00:01:16,220 --> 00:01:12,750 right we're ready to begin hi my name is 17 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:16,230 Esther and my question is when was an 18 00:01:25,069 --> 00:01:23,389 well the first piece of the 19 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:25,079 International Space Station was launched 20 00:01:31,639 --> 00:01:29,850 in November of 1998 so we've got over 13 21 00:01:33,499 --> 00:01:31,649 years of run time we had the first crew 22 00:01:35,359 --> 00:01:33,509 come aboard Space Station permanent crew 23 00:01:38,389 --> 00:01:35,369 that's been living here like we do right 24 00:01:39,410 --> 00:01:38,399 now in late of two thousand they towards 25 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:39,420 the end the end of the year in two 26 00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:47,490 thousand hello my name is Anna my 27 00:01:51,230 --> 00:01:49,320 question is what is the one thing you 28 00:01:58,370 --> 00:01:51,240 mr. most from Earth when you're at the 29 00:02:00,469 --> 00:01:58,380 ISS well my family is what I miss the 30 00:02:03,230 --> 00:02:00,479 most from Earth when I'm on the space 31 00:02:07,460 --> 00:02:03,240 station but my family is not a thing in 32 00:02:11,930 --> 00:02:07,470 terms of earthly earthly objects or 33 00:02:14,990 --> 00:02:11,940 pleasures you at least I don't really 34 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:15,000 miss them because the holes that are 35 00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:18,450 left when you leave Earth are filled 36 00:02:22,850 --> 00:02:20,160 with things that you can do on orbit 37 00:02:24,890 --> 00:02:22,860 that you can't do on earth like fly you 38 00:02:26,660 --> 00:02:24,900 could float up here you could see Earth 39 00:02:28,729 --> 00:02:26,670 from the windows in a way that you can 40 00:02:31,009 --> 00:02:28,739 never see Earth from Earth so so these 41 00:02:38,059 --> 00:02:31,019 Saints fill the holes that are left when 42 00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:40,429 my name is a dandy and my question is 43 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:42,480 who aspire to become an astronaut and 44 00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:50,360 I guess for me i had a lot of a lot of 45 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:52,110 folks that inspired me ultimately to do 46 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:54,810 this when I was your age though I have 47 00:02:58,100 --> 00:02:56,610 to admit I didn't I didn't at that point 48 00:02:59,930 --> 00:02:58,110 want to become an astronaut not because 49 00:03:01,010 --> 00:02:59,940 I didn't want to do it but because it 50 00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:01,020 never occurred to me that was something 51 00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:04,650 that I could do and it was probably many 52 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:07,710 teachers it was my parents it was it was 53 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:09,450 people that I work with throughout my 54 00:03:14,180 --> 00:03:12,210 career that that ultimately inspired me 55 00:03:16,340 --> 00:03:14,190 to do this but when I was your age the 56 00:03:18,350 --> 00:03:16,350 things that really got all of us fired 57 00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:18,360 up as we were growing up was watching 58 00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:21,360 the Apollo landings on the moon and from 59 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:23,040 that point on I was always interested in 60 00:03:32,010 --> 00:03:25,890 space and had no idea that someday I 61 00:03:36,930 --> 00:03:35,100 hi my name is Sofia my question is what 62 00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:36,940 is the greatest satisfaction you have 63 00:03:47,010 --> 00:03:45,290 I think some of the greatest 64 00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:47,020 satisfactions you have here is 65 00:03:51,390 --> 00:03:49,510 completing a good day's worth of work 66 00:03:53,790 --> 00:03:51,400 whether that day's worth of work is 67 00:03:56,460 --> 00:03:53,800 doing a science experiment or whether 68 00:03:58,950 --> 00:03:56,470 that day's worth of work is fixing 69 00:04:03,120 --> 00:03:58,960 something that's broken or doing a 70 00:04:05,130 --> 00:04:03,130 maintenance it it's all good and at the 71 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:05,140 end of the day you could say wow what a 72 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:16,180 hi my name is Erika my question is what 73 00:04:23,980 --> 00:04:17,930 was the worst thing that has happened to 74 00:04:29,929 --> 00:04:27,110 here that's a really tough question I I 75 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:29,939 really have a hard time thinking of too 76 00:04:33,230 --> 00:04:31,050 many bad things that have ever happened 77 00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:33,240 up here I've had it I've been able to 78 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:34,560 fly a couple times on a space shuttle 79 00:04:38,570 --> 00:04:37,050 and helping to build the space station 80 00:04:41,390 --> 00:04:38,580 and now I've been able to live here for 81 00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:41,400 for several months already and every day 82 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:43,889 is wonderful i guess one of the hard 83 00:04:47,540 --> 00:04:45,330 things to take is when it comes time to 84 00:04:50,420 --> 00:04:47,550 actually leave because it is really a 85 00:04:52,580 --> 00:04:50,430 wonderful place to be and when it when 86 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:52,590 it comes time to come home part of you 87 00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:54,810 just cannot wait to see your family part 88 00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:57,360 of you is also saying gosh i'm going to 89 00:05:00,619 --> 00:04:58,770 miss those views of earth i'm going to 90 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:00,629 miss floating around on stage I'm going 91 00:05:10,189 --> 00:05:07,650 to miss you in the science my name is 92 00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:10,199 Raja my question is after being in space 93 00:05:21,739 --> 00:05:14,639 for many days or with you feel different 94 00:05:24,679 --> 00:05:21,749 physically after to intrude when we 95 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:24,689 return to Earth at least for me it takes 96 00:05:31,550 --> 00:05:27,330 me a while to get my my earth legs back 97 00:05:33,559 --> 00:05:31,560 maybe a day or two and it's it's kind of 98 00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:33,569 like sailors getting their sea legs 99 00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:44,700 hello my name is Hema my question is do 100 00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:46,390 you have a minute in space and can you 101 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:55,120 take your ipod sir I pass to face well 102 00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:57,010 Hannah I don't know I pay an ipad yet 103 00:06:00,510 --> 00:05:58,720 and I certainly don't have one up here 104 00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:00,520 at some point I think that would be a 105 00:06:04,380 --> 00:06:02,110 really good tool to have up here because 106 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:04,390 it would be a lot easier to have a 107 00:06:09,390 --> 00:06:07,090 single tablet a single screen to take 108 00:06:11,370 --> 00:06:09,400 with you to do procedures and to do 109 00:06:13,980 --> 00:06:11,380 science experiments instead of having a 110 00:06:16,620 --> 00:06:13,990 big laptop with you we have iPods up 111 00:06:19,140 --> 00:06:16,630 here so so NASA Andros cosmos and 112 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:19,150 European Space Agency we've got the 113 00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:21,130 ipods we can actually uplink all the 114 00:06:30,330 --> 00:06:23,620 music that we like to hear and so we do 115 00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:30,340 have that I might sent from my name is 116 00:06:40,590 --> 00:06:33,670 Oscar and my question is what is the 117 00:06:42,750 --> 00:06:40,600 temperature like and is it oh that the 118 00:06:46,050 --> 00:06:42,760 temperature in space station I happen to 119 00:06:50,340 --> 00:06:46,060 have a machine right here which measures 120 00:06:59,780 --> 00:06:50,350 the temperature and it shows it's 22 121 00:07:05,310 --> 00:07:02,310 hi my name is Samantha and my question 122 00:07:11,130 --> 00:07:05,320 is how do you communicate with their 123 00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:11,140 families when you are in space Samantha 124 00:07:16,590 --> 00:07:14,310 we can use email we can talk to them 125 00:07:18,540 --> 00:07:16,600 almost like you would on to tell with a 126 00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:18,550 telephone or cell phone we do that 127 00:07:23,340 --> 00:07:20,110 actually with our laptop computers and 128 00:07:25,650 --> 00:07:23,350 so we can call home and talk to our 129 00:07:27,410 --> 00:07:25,660 families maybe a couple of times a day 130 00:07:30,780 --> 00:07:27,420 if we have if we have enough free time 131 00:07:32,820 --> 00:07:30,790 we can also talk to them and see them at 132 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:32,830 the same time at least one once a week 133 00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:35,170 so we can actually get a picture of them 134 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:37,510 on a laptop screen and they can have a 135 00:07:41,550 --> 00:07:39,730 picture of us and and we can actually 136 00:07:42,780 --> 00:07:41,560 take them on a virtual tour fly through 137 00:07:46,590 --> 00:07:42,790 the space station and bring that laptop 138 00:07:48,510 --> 00:07:46,600 with us and but but it's it's it's not 139 00:07:53,159 --> 00:07:48,520 like being home but it's still pretty 140 00:08:02,680 --> 00:07:56,740 my name is Daniel and holla when does 141 00:08:05,710 --> 00:08:02,690 the ISS come back to her Oh space 142 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:05,720 station is made to never come back to 143 00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:08,330 earth at least in one piece what's going 144 00:08:14,140 --> 00:08:10,190 to happen is space station we can 145 00:08:17,409 --> 00:08:14,150 continue to maintain it occupy it repair 146 00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:17,419 it and refurbish it and when it's time 147 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:22,310 to to move on to the next phase of our 148 00:08:28,150 --> 00:08:25,370 space program Space Station as a whole 149 00:08:31,270 --> 00:08:28,160 will be deorbited and it will burn up in 150 00:08:38,140 --> 00:08:31,280 the atmosphere some we're probably over 151 00:08:41,769 --> 00:08:38,150 the Pacific Ocean hello my name is 152 00:08:43,659 --> 00:08:41,779 Francisco and well my question is is 153 00:08:50,940 --> 00:08:43,669 going to the bathroom or taking a shower 154 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:54,310 well it for one thing just to be clear 155 00:09:00,670 --> 00:08:57,290 we don't get to take a shower up here we 156 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:00,680 actually make do with towels with soap 157 00:09:05,230 --> 00:09:03,890 and water and we stay up here for six 158 00:09:07,090 --> 00:09:05,240 months and that's okay it's a little bit 159 00:09:10,329 --> 00:09:07,100 like being on a camping trip for a long 160 00:09:11,860 --> 00:09:10,339 time it's really difficult there used to 161 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:11,870 be a shower on an old space station that 162 00:09:15,670 --> 00:09:13,490 the United States heads called Skylab a 163 00:09:17,259 --> 00:09:15,680 long time ago it's really hard to manage 164 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:17,269 all that water those droplets of water 165 00:09:22,269 --> 00:09:19,250 which would just float around so for us 166 00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:22,279 it's very easy to do it that way and we 167 00:09:29,620 --> 00:09:25,100 have a toilet that works great and we 168 00:09:32,019 --> 00:09:29,630 use air flow to take the to help in the 169 00:09:40,569 --> 00:09:32,029 way that gravity helps on planet earth 170 00:09:43,449 --> 00:09:40,579 and another that it works quite nice hi 171 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:43,459 my name is Eduardo scummy and my 172 00:09:53,980 --> 00:09:46,250 question is one me to decide to become 173 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:53,990 an astronaut oh I was younger than you 174 00:10:01,360 --> 00:09:57,170 are I was around six years old when John 175 00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:01,370 Glenn flu and when I saw John Glenn fly 176 00:10:06,340 --> 00:10:03,649 I thought to myself that's something 177 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:06,350 that I would like to do and then I sort 178 00:10:13,090 --> 00:10:09,890 of forgot about that until I graduated 179 00:10:16,060 --> 00:10:13,100 from college after having taken math and 180 00:10:18,670 --> 00:10:16,070 science and engineering these hard 181 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:18,680 subjects that that allow you to go in a 182 00:10:24,069 --> 00:10:20,810 technology-rich environment like a 183 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:24,079 spacecraft and operate and after after I 184 00:10:30,190 --> 00:10:27,290 had a math and science and engineering 185 00:10:32,110 --> 00:10:30,200 then I realized I'm qualified to be an 186 00:10:37,970 --> 00:10:32,120 astronaut and so I put in an application 187 00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:41,430 hi my name is Ivan and my question is 188 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:44,320 when you were training was it hard did 189 00:10:51,470 --> 00:10:46,450 you ever feel like giving up because it 190 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:54,500

--> 00:10:58,889 quite go as well as you like you're 194 00:11:03,230 --> 00:11:00,810 you're practicing to do a spacewalk in 195 00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:03,240 the pool and maybe you're having trouble 196 00:11:07,550 --> 00:11:04,889 with the tools or the space suit or 197 00:11:10,579 --> 00:11:07,560 you're learning how to fly the airplanes 198 00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:10,589 that we we trained in t-38 sand maybe 199 00:11:14,629 --> 00:11:12,000 you don't fly quite as well as you'd 200 00:11:16,430 --> 00:11:14,639 like to on a particular day I would not 201 00:11:18,889 --> 00:11:16,440 say that there was every time I didn't I 202 00:11:20,689 --> 00:11:18,899 wanted to give up though all the things 203 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:20,699 we do and there's such a wide variety of 204 00:11:26,090 --> 00:11:23,730 things are so much fun that I just feel 205 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:26,100 privileged and so lucky every day that I 206 00:11:39,810 --> 00:11:34,389 hello my name is Brian I'm a question is 207 00:11:45,490 --> 00:11:42,840 floating around in space is wonderful 208 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:45,500 dan is going to illustrate some things 209 00:11:52,689 --> 00:11:48,170 that are really hard to do when you're 210 00:11:56,079 --> 00:11:52,699 on earth and and it's it's a it's a 211 00:12:00,490 --> 00:11:56,089 wonderful experience to be able to be 212 00:12:12,410 --> 00:12:00,500 truly weightless and and move around 213 00:12:23,629 --> 00:12:15,860 hi my name is antenna and the cretan is 214 00:12:24,860 --> 00:12:23,639 how do you exercise in space that's 215 00:12:28,819 --> 00:12:24,870 really important for us to do exercise 216 00:12:30,819 --> 00:12:28,829 in space when we're here in space we're 217 00:12:33,079 --> 00:12:30,829 essentially weightless that is our the 218 00:12:34,819 --> 00:12:33,089 weight that we'd ordinarily feel if 219 00:12:37,069 --> 00:12:34,829 we're standing on planet Earth is offset 220 00:12:38,329 --> 00:12:37,079 by the orbital motion that we and the 221 00:12:41,389 --> 00:12:38,339 space station and all the things around 222 00:12:43,310 --> 00:12:41,399 us have so that forces counterbalance so 223 00:12:45,319 --> 00:12:43,320 we're essentially free floating and what 224 00:12:46,670 --> 00:12:45,329 that means is our muscles don't have to 225 00:12:48,199 --> 00:12:46,680 be strong our bones don't have to be 226 00:12:50,420 --> 00:12:48,209 strong our hearts don't have to pump a 227 00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:50,430 lot of blood to do the things we do up 228 00:12:55,250 --> 00:12:52,889 here which means if we just let things 229 00:12:57,650 --> 00:12:55,260 be our bodies would adapt to this and it 230 00:12:58,970 --> 00:12:57,660 would be very difficult to be strong 231 00:13:01,730 --> 00:12:58,980 enough to be healthy when you came back 232 00:13:03,500 --> 00:13:01,740 to earth so for us we exercise almost 233 00:13:06,439 --> 00:13:03,510 two and a half hours every day we do 234 00:13:08,509 --> 00:13:06,449 running on a treadmill or bicycling on a 235 00:13:10,579 --> 00:13:08,519 bicycle that's right here in this this 236 00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:10,589 laboratory with us and we also do weight 237 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:12,240 training using a special machine that 238 00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:16,410 uses vacuum big big pneumatic or air 239 00:13:20,930 --> 00:13:19,110 powered cylinders that actually make it 240 00:13:24,910 --> 00:13:20,940 feel like lifting weights would be there 241 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,960 you 242 00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:30,240 hi my name is one and who or what 243 00:13:41,220 --> 00:13:37,769 inspired you to become an astronaut up 244 00:13:45,329 --> 00:13:41,230 for me I think it was self motivation 245 00:13:47,429 --> 00:13:45,339 after watching a John Glenn fly in space 246 00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:47,439 and then the other astronauts that 247 00:13:53,189 --> 00:13:49,839 followed John Glenn watching the lunar 248 00:13:55,499 --> 00:13:53,199 program when I saw that it made me say 249 00:13:59,610 --> 00:13:55,509 wow this is a really cool thing to do 250 00:14:02,999 --> 00:13:59,620 and then I took math and science and 251 00:14:05,999 --> 00:14:03,009 engineering in college and did well in 252 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:06,009 that and that's the key to doing 253 00:14:11,309 --> 00:14:09,250 everything cool in life and it was also 254 00:14:16,580 --> 00:14:11,319 the key that opened up the door for me 255 00:14:21,890 --> 00:14:19,370 hi my name is Lisa and my question is 256 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:21,900 when you were a kid was becoming an 257 00:14:31,610 --> 00:14:28,770 astronaut one of your dreams I think 258 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:31,620 when I was a kid I wanted to be an 259 00:14:36,620 --> 00:14:33,810 astronomer the space related thing that 260 00:14:40,490 --> 00:14:36,630 I was interested in was astronomy and I 261 00:14:42,830 --> 00:14:40,500 wanted to be I also wanted to be a Coast 262 00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:42,840 Guard person who went out on small boats 263 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:45,750 Coast Guard small cutters and rescued 264 00:14:49,580 --> 00:14:47,610 people on stormy nights and things like 265 00:14:57,140 --> 00:14:49,590 that and I was very lucky to get a 266 00:15:00,140 --> 00:14:57,150 chance to do both of those things my 267 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:00,150 mate hello my name is Samantha and my 268 00:15:10,430 --> 00:15:02,250 question is what is your mission up in 269 00:15:13,490 --> 00:15:10,440 space our mission is to learn how to 270 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:13,500 live and work in space and expand human 271 00:15:19,970 --> 00:15:16,290 knowledge on living and working in space 272 00:15:23,180 --> 00:15:19,980 and at the same time we do science 273 00:15:30,970 --> 00:15:23,190 experiments that can only be done up 274 00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:34,840 hello my name is Marilyn my question is 275 00:15:44,319 --> 00:15:37,279 if it is what it what do they like to be 276 00:15:46,930 --> 00:15:44,329 in space it's amazing to be in space it 277 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:46,940 is wonderful we get to wake up in the 278 00:15:53,650 --> 00:15:50,930 morning and fly like Superman down this 279 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:53,660 you know 100 feet down the space station 280 00:15:59,949 --> 00:15:56,570 make breakfast we get to float over to a 281 00:16:01,689 --> 00:15:59,959 window where we can actually float up 282 00:16:03,430 --> 00:16:01,699 into actually it's almost like a glass 283 00:16:06,910 --> 00:16:03,440 bubble where we can see the earth going 284 00:16:09,430 --> 00:16:06,920 by and we can see from Horizon to 285 00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:09,440 horizon 360 degrees all around us 286 00:16:14,650 --> 00:16:12,529 thousands of miles we get to chance to 287 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:14,660 do incredibly science experiments with 288 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:16,970 really really smart people all around 289 00:16:21,370 --> 00:16:19,130 the world that are helping to what to do 290 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:21,380 the research we do here we get to work 291 00:16:26,110 --> 00:16:23,690 on things and in repair things when 292 00:16:27,879 --> 00:16:26,120 things don't quite go as well as we'd 293 00:16:30,069 --> 00:16:27,889 like hardware wise we get to do space 294 00:16:34,060 --> 00:16:30,079 walks sometimes we get to do robotics 295 00:16:36,329 --> 00:16:34,070 operations sometimes in short every day 296 00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:36,339 is different every day is wonderful and 297 00:16:43,330 --> 00:16:38,720 it's one of the neatest parts about 298 00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:45,580 hi my name is Jonathan do you get to 299 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:51,710 cook your favorite food in space we 300 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:54,290 really don't cook our food we have food 301 00:16:59,260 --> 00:16:57,410 that's more like camp and food and so it 302 00:17:01,870 --> 00:16:59,270 comes in pouches and it comes in 303 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:01,880 envelopes that are freeze-dried then we 304 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:04,730 either inject hot water into it or room 305 00:17:09,070 --> 00:17:07,250 temperature water or we put it in a food 306 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:09,080 warmer which looks a little bit like a 307 00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:12,290 suitcase and just warm it up and then we 308 00:17:23,950 --> 00:17:19,910 rip open the package and chow down hi my 309 00:17:33,780 --> 00:17:23,960 name is Maura my question is what does 310 00:17:38,790 --> 00:17:35,730 I think the question was what the space 311 00:17:49,380 --> 00:17:38,800 smell like and correct me if I got that 312 00:17:51,570 --> 00:17:49,390 wrong that's correct what does yes yeah 313 00:17:53,730 --> 00:17:51,580 okay that is correct okay good good 314 00:17:55,710 --> 00:17:53,740 that's an interesting question and and 315 00:17:56,940 --> 00:17:55,720 it's it's something that I think a lot 316 00:17:59,250 --> 00:17:56,950 of people that have flown here before 317 00:18:01,380 --> 00:17:59,260 have noticed and that is after you doc a 318 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:01,390 space shuttle or Soyuz spacecraft to 319 00:18:04,350 --> 00:18:02,770 space station after you go outside and 320 00:18:08,910 --> 00:18:04,360 do a spacewalk or somebody goes outside 321 00:18:12,030 --> 00:18:08,920 and comes back in and you equalize the 322 00:18:13,830 --> 00:18:12,040 the pressure difference between outside 323 00:18:16,020 --> 00:18:13,840 which is nearly zero and inside which is 324 00:18:17,910 --> 00:18:16,030 like it is on planet Earth you get a 325 00:18:20,550 --> 00:18:17,920 chance to smell something that's that's 326 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:20,560 a little bit metallic smelling a little 327 00:18:25,940 --> 00:18:24,010 bit oily smelling maybe and there's some 328 00:18:29,550 --> 00:18:25,950 theories on what that actually is and 329 00:18:31,170 --> 00:18:29,560 although we're flying in essentially the 330 00:18:33,090 --> 00:18:31,180 vacuum of space where there's very very 331 00:18:35,070 --> 00:18:33,100 little matter up here there's still a 332 00:18:37,260 --> 00:18:35,080 little bit and some of it is charged and 333 00:18:39,030 --> 00:18:37,270 some of it actually causes potentially 334 00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:39,040 some reactions on the various materials 335 00:18:45,390 --> 00:18:41,710 that are outside so our theory is that 336 00:18:48,060 --> 00:18:45,400 the smell of space this this oily 337 00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:48,070 metallic sort of smell is probably 338 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:49,660 associated with that but it's very 339 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:51,490 distinctive and it's very repeatable and 340 00:18:55,170 --> 00:18:53,050 it doesn't matter whether you're in a 341 00:18:56,940 --> 00:18:55,180 shuttle doing a spacewalk or coming on 342 00:19:01,770 --> 00:18:56,950 the Soyuz it's always pretty much the 343 00:19:08,590 --> 00:19:05,380 hi my name is Eileen and my question is 344 00:19:14,110 --> 00:19:08,600 when you return to Earth what is it what 345 00:19:17,010 --> 00:19:14,120 are you planning to do next when I 346 00:19:20,050 --> 00:19:17,020 return to Earth we're going to have a 347 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:20,060 fairly extensive period a month or two 348 00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:22,850 of rehabilitation and that and that's 349 00:19:27,070 --> 00:19:24,740 just getting your muscles and your 350 00:19:30,130 --> 00:19:27,080 cardiovascular system your heart pumping 351 00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:30,140 blood so it's used to being back on 352 00:19:33,580 --> 00:19:32,240 earth again so that's the first thing 353 00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:33,590 I'm going to do when I get back to earth 354 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:36,320 and actually the first thing I'm going 355 00:19:49,630 --> 00:19:38,690 to do when I get back to Houston is give 356 00:19:51,580 --> 00:19:49,640 my family a big hug thank you everybody 357 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:51,590 for participating in this event I'd 358 00:19:55,930 --> 00:19:53,930 really like to thank commander dan 359 00:19:57,940 --> 00:19:55,940 burbank and flight engineer Don Pettit 360 00:20:00,850 --> 00:19:57,950 it's been an amazing experience for here 361 00:20:15,020 --> 00:20:00,860 at the tech museum in san jose and it's 362 00:20:21,180 --> 00:20:18,030 station this is Houston ACR thank you 363 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:21,190 that concludes the event and thank you 364 00:20:25,860 --> 00:20:23,890 everybody at the tech museum station we
