1 00:00:06,860 --> 00:00:03,649 hello I'm Sonny Williams I'm up here on 2 00:00:08,810 --> 00:00:06,870 the International Space Station no want 3 00:00:11,810 --> 00:00:08,820 to say where we are so right now we're 4 00:00:13,820 --> 00:00:11,820 in the Japanese laboratory it's one 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:13,830 laboratory out of many here on the 6 00:00:18,290 --> 00:00:15,570 International Space Station it's 7 00:00:19,790 --> 00:00:18,300 actually on the left-hand side if I was 8 00:00:22,099 --> 00:00:19,800 International Space Station and I was 9 00:00:23,540 --> 00:00:22,109 flying through space like this my left 10 00:00:35,150 --> 00:00:23,550 hand would be where the Japanese 11 00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:35,160 laboratory is so now again we're on the 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:36,960 right hand side all the way on the right 13 00:00:41,780 --> 00:00:38,850 of the International Space Station this 14 00:00:43,970 --> 00:00:41,790 is Columbus the European module it has 15 00:00:46,010 --> 00:00:43,980 science experiments all over you can see 16 00:00:53,189 --> 00:00:46,020 it looks a little bit crowded and here 17 00:00:57,930 --> 00:00:56,400 here we are in the u.s. laboratory again 18 00:01:00,750 --> 00:00:57,940 this is a laboratory with science 19 00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:00,760 experience on all of the walls here all 20 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:03,280 sorts of stuff that we do and one of the 21 00:01:07,499 --> 00:01:05,530 things we also do is we exercise we have 22 00:01:10,499 --> 00:01:07,509 some exercise equipment on board the 23 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:10,509 space station we need to do that because 24 00:01:15,870 --> 00:01:13,690 we lose bone density and muscle mass 25 00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:15,880 while we're up here and that's a result 26 00:01:21,899 --> 00:01:18,330 of not having to fight against gravity 27 00:01:24,029 --> 00:01:21,909 so how we keep ourselves in shape are 28 00:01:26,399 --> 00:01:24,039 with a bike a treadmill and a 29 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:26,409 weightlifting machine this is the bike 30 00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:29,170 you notice the clip the pedals so all 31 00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:30,670 you need to do is actually clip your 32 00:01:35,820 --> 00:01:33,119 feet in and then you can start pedaling 33 00:01:38,130 --> 00:01:35,830 you don't need a seat because you don't 34 00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:38,140 sit down actually I haven't sat down for 35 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:40,240 six months now so you don't need any any 36 00:01:43,889 --> 00:01:41,530 type of seat just make sure you're 37 00:01:45,449 --> 00:01:43,899 you're held in with your pedals you 38 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:45,459 probably see that the bike bounces 39 00:01:50,850 --> 00:01:47,530 around a little bit as I move it it's 40 00:01:54,930 --> 00:01:50,860 not steady and held to the wall firmly 41 00:01:56,609 --> 00:01:54,940 and the reason for that is the space 42 00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:56,619 station is pretty big you saw that 43 00:02:00,630 --> 00:01:58,240 there's also solar arrays on the space 44 00:02:02,099 --> 00:02:00,640 station if we start putting any forces 45 00:02:04,050 --> 00:02:02,109 into the space station it's going to 46 00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:04,060 make those solar arrays bounce around a 47 00:02:08,910 --> 00:02:06,969 little bit so to prevent that the 48 00:02:10,410 --> 00:02:08,920 machines bounce around a little bit move 49 00:02:13,229 --> 00:02:10,420 around a little bit and that way we 50 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:13,239 don't put any forces on to the structure 51 00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:15,010 of the spacecraft out to the solar 52 00:02:24,740 --> 00:02:18,400 arrays alright a little farther on come 53 00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:28,470 I'm here with my two buddies in the 54 00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:30,340 airlock actually these are two 55 00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:33,580 spacesuits that are ready primed up to 56 00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:36,160 go outside as we call it to go do a 57 00:02:40,110 --> 00:02:37,840 spacewalk in case we have to do any 58 00:02:42,450 --> 00:02:40,120 thing outside some of the things we do 59 00:02:45,660 --> 00:02:42,460 Outsiders just like inside repairs we 60 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:45,670 have a lot of electrical boxes and 61 00:02:49,860 --> 00:02:48,010 machinery and solar arrays in fact that 62 00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:49,870 I talked about earlier that are outside 63 00:02:55,710 --> 00:02:52,480 and sometimes they don't work quite 64 00:02:58,140 --> 00:02:55,720 right remember space is really cold and 65 00:03:00,480 --> 00:02:58,150 really hot and it's also the vacuum of 66 00:03:02,430 --> 00:03:00,490 space with no pressure and so some of 67 00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:02,440 the equipment doesn't work well all the 68 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:04,870 time so we might have to go out and do a 69 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:07,090 spacewalk right behind me is actually 70 00:03:11,790 --> 00:03:10,210 the hatch that you go out into space and 71 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:11,800 right now we have it filled up with a 72 00:03:16,290 --> 00:03:13,210 couple other spacesuits because we've 73 00:03:18,330 --> 00:03:16,300 got four of them up here and some of our 74 00:03:20,460 --> 00:03:18,340 tools but right behind here is the hatch 75 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:20,470 in which you actually go right outside 76 00:03:25,470 --> 00:03:23,770 into the vacuum of space the spacesuit 77 00:03:28,230 --> 00:03:25,480 is pretty big as you can see it's like 78 00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:28,240 being a football player part of the 79 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:30,310 reason it's so big and bulky is because 80 00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:32,530 of this backside of this backpack it's 81 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:34,630 like going on a hike with a backpack but 82 00:03:39,150 --> 00:03:36,370 the backpack and the suit weighs about 83 00:03:40,980 --> 00:03:39,160 300 pounds luckily in space 84 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:40,990 nothing really weighs anything so you 85 00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:43,330 don't feel that it's so heavy but we 86 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:45,040 need to have such a big suit because 87 00:03:50,699 --> 00:03:48,130 that guy back there is essentially the 88 00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:50,709 heart of the space craft this I call 89 00:03:55,260 --> 00:03:53,200 this actually a spacecraft it has all 90 00:03:57,630 --> 00:03:55,270 the oxygen for you it has all the carbon 91 00:04:00,120 --> 00:03:57,640 dioxide removal system for you it also 92 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:00,130 has a heating and cooling system to make 93 00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:01,930 sure regulate our body temperatures 94 00:04:07,170 --> 00:04:04,239 while we're outside it also has a 95 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:07,180 computer so it tells you on a display 96 00:04:10,590 --> 00:04:09,010 here if there's anything that is going 97 00:04:12,180 --> 00:04:10,600 wrong with the suit if we're running out 98 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:12,190 of oxygen if we have too much carbon 99 00:04:17,970 --> 00:04:15,250 dioxide or any type of electrical 100 00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:17,980 problem so it's a pretty awesome little 101 00:04:22,950 --> 00:04:20,320 spacecraft and actually got to go out 102 00:04:24,650 --> 00:04:22,960 use my spacecraft little spacecraft a 103 00:04:29,330 --> 00:04:24,660 couple times and it worked like a charm 104 00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:31,500 you might want to see what the helmet 105 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:34,000 looks like it's pretty cool too we don't 106 00:04:38,030 --> 00:04:35,050 usually go out like this 107 00:04:42,740 --> 00:04:38,040 so usually conceived in the helmets open 108 00:04:44,820 --> 00:04:42,750 so you can see what it looks like inside 109 00:04:47,190 --> 00:04:44,830 somebody's little head would be inside 110 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:47,200 of here so you can see you can turn your 111 00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:48,730 head all the way around while you're 112 00:04:54,150 --> 00:04:50,290 inside of there but the helmet stays 113 00:04:57,150 --> 00:04:54,160 still so that's determined your how far 114 00:04:58,770 --> 00:04:57,160 you could see and it's usually pretty 115 00:05:00,960 --> 00:04:58,780 sunny out there so we have to wear our 116 00:05:03,090 --> 00:05:00,970 sunglasses and this is our sunglasses
