you guys are busy all the 49 00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:33,110 well every day is different and we are 50 00:02:38,229 --> 00:02:34,720 busy all the time we have a general 51 00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,239 working day same as time as you gmt um 52 00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:40,480 but we usually get up around six and try 53 00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:42,239 to go to sleep around ten but every day 54 00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:43,440 is different we're doing science 55 00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:45,840 experiments we're exercising we're out 56 00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:47,760 doing space walks we're doing robotic 57 00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:51,120 stuff we just launched h or 58 00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:53,440 htv the japanese module that was up here 59 00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:55,519 left us yesterday so it's one thing 60 00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:57,040 after another every day is a little bit 61 00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:59,760 different it's awesome 62 00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:01,040 now 63 00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:04,800 spacewalks launching japanese modules 64 00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:05,920 uh 65 00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:07,440 making scientific discoveries that's 66 00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:09,360 routine but you have any other stuff you 67 00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:11,680 have to do like the laundry and dishes 68 00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:20,070 well luckily enough most of our food is 69 00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:23,280 um in containers and then we throw it 70 00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:25,519 away so we don't really have dishes up 71 00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,959 here if you think about it dishes aren't 72 00:03:30,869 --> 00:03:28,480 going to work up in space so we just 73 00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:30,879 sort of eat our food out of different 74 00:03:34,229 --> 00:03:33,120 types of containers so we don't have to 75 00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:34,239 do that 76 00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,760 and 77 00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:37,280 there's not a lot of dirt up here so 78 00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:39,200 your clothes don't get dirty 79 00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:45,030 what sort of food do you get to eat up 80 00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:50,309 we have a wide 81 00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:52,000 variety of food which is really great 82 00:03:59,830 --> 00:03:56,710 in this little packet i have beef 83 00:04:01,190 --> 00:03:59,840 fajitas which we usually with tortillas 84 00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:01,200 because bread is a little crummy and 85 00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:02,799 then it makes a mess and gets in your 86 00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:04,319 hair and stuff 87 00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:06,080 a lot of freeze-dried stuff or 88 00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:08,319 dehydrated stuff i should say and we 89 00:04:14,070 --> 00:04:11,040 have a hydrator right above me this is 90 00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:14,080 cauliflower and also spinach in here 91 00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:15,840 because my mom's probably watching and 92 00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:17,759 wants to know i'm eating my vegetables 93 00:04:19,990 --> 00:04:19,199 and then of course there's things in the 94 00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:20,000 can 95 00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:22,400 and of course we have 96 00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:24,000 candy and 97 00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:25,680 other things like that which are you 98 00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:32,070 it does look like 99 00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:34,320 it does look delicious but how about the 100 00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:35,919 experiments can you show us the 101 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,310 oh 102 00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:46,070 certainly i think 103 00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:47,440 i think you're thinking about 104 00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:49,680 experiments that uh these guys sent up 105 00:04:53,909 --> 00:04:52,080 right um's experiments and dorothy and 106 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:53,919 sarah's experiments 107 00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:56,800 and they're right here with me so i have 108 00:05:00,150 --> 00:04:58,560 them here in space 109 00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:00,160 this is a gap this is dorothy and 110 00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:01,680 sarah's 111 00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:03,039 and it shows 112 00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:04,720 a little bit change of color from when 113 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,160 you remember it launched it was before 114 00:05:13,189 --> 00:05:10,400 a little bit more red and then we 115 00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:13,199 combined them in the gap experiment 116 00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:15,520 and so now obviously with the dye 117 00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:17,440 they've changed which means uh there's 118 00:05:21,430 --> 00:05:19,199 some definitely some indication of some 119 00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:21,440 growth but we'll have to see how that 120 00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:23,120 goes when they get returned to earth on 121 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:30,629 so this is where there's a dye that 122 00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:33,919 changes with the acidity and so as the 123 00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:36,479 bacteria metabolize whoa 124 00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:38,720 they metabolize and change its color 125 00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:43,909 exactly 126 00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:45,600 in the other experiment 127 00:05:52,870 --> 00:05:51,430 sorry 128 00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:52,880 the other experiment which i think you 129 00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:54,720 guys want to take a look at if we can 130 00:06:00,150 --> 00:05:57,520 get it the camera to focus 131 00:06:01,670 --> 00:06:00,160 is uh of course our little nefertiti 132 00:06:03,670 --> 00:06:01,680 here 133 00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:03,680 let's see if she can get in focus hold 134 00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:06,560 on can you see her 135 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:17,749 i see a lot of uh she's a little scary 136 00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:24,469 i think she's been eating well 137 00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:27,270 so uh uh um do you have a question about 138 00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:33,990 uh yeah i'll shoot a question so i i see 139 00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:35,600 there are a lot of dead slides hanging 140 00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:36,800 around in the 141 00:06:39,990 --> 00:06:38,160 silk threads 142 00:06:43,510 --> 00:06:40,000 did you get to see her actually do the 143 00:06:49,749 --> 00:06:47,590 oh yeah you know she was in the cgba i 144 00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:49,759 mean i'm sorry the uh 145 00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:54,240 in in her habitat there and then also 146 00:06:58,469 --> 00:06:56,080 in the locker where the 147 00:06:59,990 --> 00:06:58,479 payload folks were able to see her with 148 00:07:02,309 --> 00:07:00,000 the camera and that was that's what this 149 00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:02,319 is contained right here but every now 150 00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:04,080 and then of course i took her and 151 00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:06,720 cleopatra out and fed them you know by 152 00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:09,680 opening the plungers and opening so more 153 00:07:13,430 --> 00:07:11,520 fruit flies would come out 154 00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:13,440 and one day i was doing that i had the 155 00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:16,479 light on like this because as you know 156 00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:18,960 they hunt in the daytime and i wanted to 157 00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:21,280 take a look and see if i could see her 158 00:07:26,150 --> 00:07:23,919 and my gosh i saw her stalking a fruit 159 00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:26,160 fly unbeknownst to that poor little 160 00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:28,319 fruit fly and she was looking at it and 161 00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:30,000 she was going real close and all sudden 162 00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:30,800 she 163 00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:33,440 jumped right on her so it was amazing 164 00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:36,800 and so i think the spiders absolutely 165 00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:38,880 adapted to space it was incredible to 166 00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:44,309 wow i mean i'm watching you you're very 167 00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:46,319 impressed it's really no that's very 168 00:07:50,550 --> 00:07:48,240 cool so they were the spiders able to 169 00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:50,560 adapt just as you predicted on 170 00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:53,039 so uh sarah dorothy do you have a 171 00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:56,800 question for sunny yeah hi 172 00:08:01,110 --> 00:07:58,479 we're wondering can you see any 173 00:08:02,469 --> 00:08:01,120 differences in like how yellow each test 174 00:08:04,469 --> 00:08:02,479 tube is to show 175 00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:04,479 the levels perhaps that our bacteria has 176 00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:12,710 i'm sorry can you repeat your question 177 00:08:19,510 --> 00:08:18,150 are there like different um levels of 178 00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:19,520 yellow like can you see the different 179 00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:21,520 color changes or are they all the same 180 00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:26,869 no they're all they're all different 181 00:08:30,790 --> 00:08:28,639 actually this one came i 182 00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:30,800 just randomly picked number five i'm you 183 00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:32,320 know but they all have a slightly 184 00:08:36,389 --> 00:08:34,640 different color this one is uh really 185 00:08:38,949 --> 00:08:36,399 nice and orange but some are a lighter 186 00:08:40,389 --> 00:08:38,959 color and some are a darker color of red 187 00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:40,399 so yeah they all have a little bit 188 00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:42,880 different so um you know i didn't get 189 00:08:46,790 --> 00:08:44,720 the i was wondering about all the data 190 00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,800 points that you guys picked because i 191 00:08:50,389 --> 00:08:48,480 was wondering why they were all the 192 00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:50,399 different colors and i noticed it pretty 193 00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:53,200 much the first time i i took them out 194 00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:54,880 and looked at them when i was taking the 195 00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:56,240 pictures that they were definitely 196 00:09:00,310 --> 00:08:58,800 different ones had different colors so 197 00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:00,320 you're going to see some interesting 198 00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:02,320 results when you get these back and you 199 00:09:06,070 --> 00:09:03,600 know right now we're keeping them at 200 00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:06,080 four degrees in this chamber so 201 00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:08,959 it should maintain its uh 202 00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:10,480 you know where it is until it gets back 203 00:09:17,829 --> 00:09:15,670 that sounds great so that's what you 204 00:09:20,230 --> 00:09:17,839 guys predicted yeah yeah 205 00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:20,240 that's not bad people look at you both 206 00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:22,880 of you both experiments came out pretty 207 00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:24,720 much the way you predicted 208 00:09:28,949 --> 00:09:26,800 and sunny you are an 209 00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:28,959 extraordinary part of this and we very 210 00:09:32,230 --> 00:09:30,959 much appreciate it yeah thank you so 211 00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:32,240 much 212 00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:34,800 so it's not just that these guys here 213 00:09:37,990 --> 00:09:36,399 have been hoping to ask you questions 214 00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:38,000 and thank you for answering but we have 215 00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:39,360 some questions 216 00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:42,240 from uh their classmates in michigan in 217 00:09:45,829 --> 00:09:44,000 the united states 218 00:09:47,910 --> 00:09:45,839 here we go 219 00:09:49,910 --> 00:09:47,920 hey dorothy and sarah and everyone in 220 00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:49,920 the studio we're back here in troy 221 00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:52,480 michigan and we also have a question for 222 00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:54,480 sunny the astronaut obviously the 223 00:09:57,670 --> 00:09:55,920 olympics for this summer but we were 224 00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:57,680 wondering how international relations 225 00:10:03,509 --> 00:09:59,200 changed after we found out who got the 226 00:10:07,910 --> 00:10:06,550 very interesting question um we actually 227 00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:07,920 you know we have 228 00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:10,720 a little bit delayed tv up here if we 229 00:10:16,230 --> 00:10:14,000 get streaming video uh it's called ku 230 00:10:18,550 --> 00:10:16,240 and so during the olympics we would get 231 00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:18,560 ku and get all of the highlights of the 232 00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:21,120 olympics at dinner time which was great 233 00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:22,800 as a group we would gather around the 234 00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:24,720 table and watch the olympics and i 235 00:10:28,550 --> 00:10:26,320 thought it was more of a bonding 236 00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:28,560 experience between all of us as we were 237 00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:30,959 cheering for each other's teams 238 00:10:34,389 --> 00:10:33,040 like when japan would win and when 239 00:10:36,310 --> 00:10:34,399 russia would win we'd all be like 240 00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:36,320 psyched for each other and i think that 241 00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:39,200 that's really good for um international 242 00:10:43,269 --> 00:10:41,519 relations it was not uh you know on 243 00:10:46,150 --> 00:10:43,279 anything bad it was more like we're 244 00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:46,160 supporting each other and you know got 245 00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:48,000 to know each other's athletes through 246 00:10:51,509 --> 00:10:49,200 through the other the knowledge of the 247 00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:51,519 other uh crewmate on board so it was 248 00:10:58,310 --> 00:10:57,430 that's very good news very good news 249 00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:58,320 because 250 00:11:01,829 --> 00:11:00,480 our next question comes from an olympic 251 00:11:04,310 --> 00:11:01,839 gold medalist 252 00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:04,320 the guy who competing with spiders uh 253 00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:06,399 was the long jumper who won greg 254 00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:08,240 rutherford greg 255 00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:10,480 hi greg rutherford here just gonna ask 256 00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:11,920 you a quick question 257 00:11:15,269 --> 00:11:13,760 if armed spider was my size she could 258 00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:15,279 out jump me on earth but could she 259 00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:23,910 well i think just by mass i think you 260 00:11:32,630 --> 00:11:30,949 good that's good 261 00:11:34,790 --> 00:11:32,640 it's good to know 262 00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:34,800 our next question comes from the flight 263 00:11:42,310 --> 00:11:37,519 director of the mars curiosity rover 264 00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:42,320 mission babasi the mohawk man go back 265 00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:44,480 here at the jet propulsion lab we work 266 00:11:48,069 --> 00:11:46,240 on robotic missions what we'd like to 267 00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:48,079 know is how can we further improve 268 00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:49,279 robotic missions to help human 269 00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:55,190 that's you know a really great question 270 00:11:58,629 --> 00:11:56,959 because some people sometimes think that 271 00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:58,639 robotics and human space flight are a 272 00:12:02,069 --> 00:12:00,160 little bit you know back and forth 273 00:12:04,550 --> 00:12:02,079 there's some type of competition there 274 00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:04,560 but i think robotics are awesome because 275 00:12:08,870 --> 00:12:06,720 they'll take the first step where we 276 00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:08,880 haven't had the technology developed 277 00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:11,440 quite yet for humans to go and then the 278 00:12:16,550 --> 00:12:13,360 second thing they can do 279 00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:16,560 once humans get there they can take on 280 00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:19,200 repetitive tasks and do repetitive tasks 281 00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:20,880 such that the humans can take then the 282 00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:23,200 next step in exploration so i think 283 00:12:27,190 --> 00:12:25,440 robotics and humans can step by step and 284 00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:27,200 leapfrog each other so we get further 285 00:12:31,110 --> 00:12:29,279 and further and understand more about 286 00:12:32,870 --> 00:12:31,120 our universe so i think robotics and 287 00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:32,880 human space flight together are an 288 00:12:42,389 --> 00:12:40,550 that's fantastic you know as the 289 00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:42,399 ceo of the planetary society this is 290 00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:44,240 something we advocate i'm delighted you 291 00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:46,240 feel that way sonny it's just it's great 292 00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:47,839 let's change the world so 293 00:12:52,069 --> 00:12:49,600 this is good but we've got tons of 294 00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:52,079 questions from our live stream viewers 295 00:12:56,230 --> 00:12:53,920 from all over the world 296 00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:56,240 so we're going to start with pekka ooh 297 00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:57,360 lala 298 00:13:01,269 --> 00:12:59,200 what is the most beautiful thing you've 299 00:13:06,230 --> 00:13:01,279 seen in space what is the biggest 300 00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:08,470 well like i tell you what really is 301 00:13:12,389 --> 00:13:10,480 humbling is when you look out the window 302 00:13:15,030 --> 00:13:12,399 and you see something like the aurora 303 00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:15,040 borealis uh or the you know the the 304 00:13:19,430 --> 00:13:17,200 lights in the southern hemisphere also 305 00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:19,440 it's just amazing because it really puts 306 00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:21,600 us in our place that we're 307 00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:23,760 you know the energy around us and in the 308 00:13:27,590 --> 00:13:25,839 universe is overwhelming and more than 309 00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:27,600 we can even imagine with our minds and 310 00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:29,600 there's there's more and more for us to 311 00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:31,920 discover out there and then of course 312 00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:34,720 looking at our planet it's just pretty i 313 00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:36,880 mean it's blue it's green it's purple 314 00:13:41,269 --> 00:13:38,480 the clouds are forming the ice is 315 00:13:42,550 --> 00:13:41,279 forming it is just spectacular and i've 316 00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:42,560 said it a number of times i wish 317 00:13:46,069 --> 00:13:44,480 everybody would be able to take a lap 318 00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:46,079 around the planet and then they'd have a 319 00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:48,800 much better appreciation for it and the 320 00:13:54,389 --> 00:13:50,639 people who live there and it's it's just 321 00:13:59,030 --> 00:13:56,550 that's great you are our ambassador you 322 00:14:01,030 --> 00:13:59,040 are our woman in space thank you uh we 323 00:14:03,350 --> 00:14:01,040 have another question this one from 324 00:14:05,509 --> 00:14:03,360 cotton or kaden kuchira 325 00:14:08,230 --> 00:14:05,519 does it ever bother you 326 00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:08,240 to be in such a small area in such a 327 00:14:17,910 --> 00:14:16,150 oh gosh no you know this place is is 328 00:14:19,509 --> 00:14:17,920 great and i was here when it was a 329 00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:19,519 little bit small and we only had three 330 00:14:24,310 --> 00:14:21,519 people and now we have six 331 00:14:25,829 --> 00:14:24,320 but we have you know over 10 modules and 332 00:14:27,430 --> 00:14:25,839 you know it goes different directions 333 00:14:29,110 --> 00:14:27,440 from the front of the spacecraft all the 334 00:14:30,949 --> 00:14:29,120 way back to the you know the russian 335 00:14:33,269 --> 00:14:30,959 segment back there it's like a 336 00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:33,279 five-story house there's windows to look 337 00:14:38,389 --> 00:14:35,760 out of um you know everything in space 338 00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:38,399 is more fun cleaning is fun so you don't 339 00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:40,399 get tired of being inside because 340 00:14:43,269 --> 00:14:41,600 there's always 341 00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:43,279 a lot of things to do 342 00:14:46,230 --> 00:14:44,800 and every now and then you get to go 343 00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:46,240 outside too 344 00:14:50,230 --> 00:14:48,480 so that's a lot of fun as well so no i 345 00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:50,240 never get tired of being inside here 346 00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:54,949 that's cool 347 00:14:58,710 --> 00:14:57,040 we have another question from brianna 348 00:15:00,470 --> 00:14:58,720 paige henderson 349 00:15:02,310 --> 00:15:00,480 about how long is your training how long 350 00:15:03,189 --> 00:15:02,320 did you work to get ready for this and 351 00:15:04,629 --> 00:15:03,199 uh 352 00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:04,639 what are some of the things you had to 353 00:15:12,629 --> 00:15:10,389 you know that's a great question i think 354 00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:12,639 people don't realize that it um you know 355 00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:14,480 the space station like i said is big and 356 00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:16,079 there are a lot of things you know we 357 00:15:21,829 --> 00:15:18,880 don't have uh electricians and plumbers 358 00:15:24,310 --> 00:15:21,839 and com computer you know i.t folks up 359 00:15:25,509 --> 00:15:24,320 here uh we do it all ourselves and so 360 00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:25,519 the training 361 00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:27,839 can is about two and a half years and it 362 00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:29,600 consists of learning about the u.s 363 00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:32,399 segments modules the japanese the 364 00:15:36,790 --> 00:15:34,639 european the russians so that means a 365 00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:36,800 lot of travel around the world uh 366 00:15:40,470 --> 00:15:38,560 learning the russian language also 367 00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:40,480 because we fly up in a russian soyuz 368 00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:41,440 vehicle 369 00:15:46,949 --> 00:15:44,079 we learn about how that spacecraft works 370 00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:46,959 and so the training is pretty extensive 371 00:15:50,870 --> 00:15:49,040 on skills base so we can be able to do 372 00:15:53,189 --> 00:15:50,880 all that plumbing 373 00:15:55,910 --> 00:15:53,199 electrical stuff water stuff science 374 00:15:57,670 --> 00:15:55,920 stuff so it's a lot of skill space but 375 00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:57,680 it's about two and a half years and it's 376 00:16:00,710 --> 00:15:59,199 it's a lot of fun that's when you get to 377 00:16:03,910 --> 00:16:00,720 know your crew because we all train 378 00:16:08,310 --> 00:16:05,910 now speaking of getting getting to know 379 00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:08,320 you're through we i think none of us 380 00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:10,240 could miss somebody went flying over 381 00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:17,189 so that was aki 382 00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:18,959 you know of course he represents the 383 00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:22,079 japanese space agency here uh him and 384 00:16:25,749 --> 00:16:24,000 myself and yuri malenchenko from the 385 00:16:28,629 --> 00:16:25,759 russian space agency flew up on the 386 00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:28,639 soyuz but also who's up here on a 387 00:16:32,389 --> 00:16:30,000 different so who's getting ready to go 388 00:16:34,230 --> 00:16:32,399 home on sunday is joe acaba another 389 00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:34,240 american and then two russians gennady 390 00:16:38,949 --> 00:16:36,880 padalka sergei revin so we've got a 391 00:16:41,590 --> 00:16:38,959 sorted a sundry of people and 392 00:16:43,350 --> 00:16:41,600 in another month or so another soyuz 393 00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:43,360 will come up with another american and 394 00:16:47,910 --> 00:16:46,079 two russians so it's pretty busy up here 395 00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:47,920 with spacecraft coming and going and 396 00:16:51,749 --> 00:16:49,920 people flying in flying out this is a 397 00:16:56,150 --> 00:16:51,759 laboratory we're working here so you're 398 00:16:59,269 --> 00:16:57,910 but they move around an extraordinary 399 00:17:01,110 --> 00:16:59,279 way 400 00:17:01,990 --> 00:17:01,120 i mean they're all flying it's pretty 401 00:17:04,309 --> 00:17:02,000 cool 402 00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:04,319 so we have another question from our uh 403 00:17:08,230 --> 00:17:05,839 our social media 404 00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:08,240 this is from douglas martin 405 00:17:12,549 --> 00:17:10,720 what does sirius look like uh when 406 00:17:14,789 --> 00:17:12,559 you're up there when you're closer to 407 00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:14,799 the star series as a star or what does 408 00:17:25,350 --> 00:17:21,270 so it's an interesting question in a you 409 00:17:27,350 --> 00:17:25,360 know we're only about you know 250 miles 410 00:17:29,430 --> 00:17:27,360 you know 400 kilometers above the earth 411 00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:29,440 so we're when you're thinking relatively 412 00:17:33,669 --> 00:17:32,240 that's not very far from the surface of 413 00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:33,679 the earth when you're thinking about how 414 00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:36,400 far other planets are and stars are so 415 00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:38,880 size is about the same as you would see 416 00:17:44,789 --> 00:17:41,760 from earth however without any 417 00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:44,799 atmosphere the universe is crystal clear 418 00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:47,120 you can really see the 3d 419 00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:49,360 of the darkness that's going out there i 420 00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:51,039 mean it doesn't look like a black sheet 421 00:17:56,310 --> 00:17:53,120 it's like it just goes on and on 422 00:17:58,630 --> 00:17:56,320 likewise stars are crystal clear and 423 00:18:00,470 --> 00:17:58,640 they're bright and so you see definitely 424 00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:00,480 different sizes just like you do on 425 00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:02,640 earth of stars that some are smaller and 426 00:18:06,789 --> 00:18:04,480 some are bigger but they are just 427 00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:06,799 crystal clear and at night it's you know 428 00:18:10,630 --> 00:18:08,720 it's like millions and millions of stars 429 00:18:12,150 --> 00:18:10,640 you know it's in some place you've been 430 00:18:13,909 --> 00:18:12,160 where there's no light pollution and 431 00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:13,919 it's just a crystal clear day it's 432 00:18:21,990 --> 00:18:19,830 that's cool 433 00:18:24,230 --> 00:18:22,000 so you guys do you have any other 434 00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:24,240 questions you got it right here right 435 00:18:29,029 --> 00:18:26,240 there i have a question uh how many 436 00:18:30,950 --> 00:18:29,039 sunrises do you see in a day in a 24 437 00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:30,960 hour 438 00:18:38,549 --> 00:18:36,880 earth 16 times so you'll see 16 sunrises 439 00:18:40,230 --> 00:18:38,559 and sunsets 440 00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:40,240 here in the laboratory we've got a 441 00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:42,080 window below us but it's taking some 442 00:18:45,510 --> 00:18:43,360 really 443 00:18:47,190 --> 00:18:45,520 nice pictures and so we have it covered 444 00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:47,200 up with a black cover so the pictures 445 00:18:51,909 --> 00:18:49,760 will come out real well the cupola is 446 00:18:53,669 --> 00:18:51,919 around the corner and you can sometimes 447 00:18:55,590 --> 00:18:53,679 it's right where the gym is and so when 448 00:18:57,590 --> 00:18:55,600 you're lifting and working out 449 00:18:58,710 --> 00:18:57,600 you can see the sunrise and sunset right 450 00:19:01,270 --> 00:18:58,720 above you 451 00:19:03,430 --> 00:19:01,280 but i tell you when we're on a spacewalk 452 00:19:05,190 --> 00:19:03,440 you can really tell the difference 453 00:19:06,870 --> 00:19:05,200 the heat just the heating and cooling 454 00:19:08,549 --> 00:19:06,880 from the time when the sun is up and 455 00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:08,559 when this time and that it's dark is 456 00:19:13,430 --> 00:19:10,559 unbelievable before the sun even shines 457 00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:13,440 on you you can feel the heat start to 458 00:19:17,510 --> 00:19:15,360 generate around your body 459 00:19:19,270 --> 00:19:17,520 so it's impressive 460 00:19:20,789 --> 00:19:19,280 the vacuum of space how much heating and 461 00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:20,799 cooling goes on out there and how much 462 00:19:27,190 --> 00:19:24,720 sun changes things 463 00:19:29,430 --> 00:19:27,200 that's fantastic and i remind you 464 00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:29,440 it's not magic it's science 465 00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:31,120 that's pretty cool sonny thank you so 466 00:19:34,789 --> 00:19:33,360 much i'm afraid we're about to lose you 467 00:19:36,789 --> 00:19:34,799 uh our satellites are going to lose 468 00:19:39,270 --> 00:19:36,799 touch with you but do you have any final 469 00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:39,280 words for the winners for dorothy sarah 470 00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:45,350 well of course congratulations to you 471 00:19:48,789 --> 00:19:46,960

--> 00:19:54,160 contest or this i think more of a 475 00:19:58,390 --> 00:19:56,240 gathering of scientific minds of our 476 00:20:00,710 --> 00:19:58,400 future so thanks to everybody who 477 00:20:03,029 --> 00:20:00,720 participated you guys all made the 478 00:20:07,990 --> 00:20:03,039 contest awesome we're just honored to 479 00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:09,990 thank you sonny that's just
