00:00:11,990 --> 00:00:09,679
see you hey uh welcome aboard everybody

3
00:00:12,789 --> 00:00:12,000
uh welcome to our little zero g fantasy

4
00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:12,799
land

5
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:14,400
and it's great to have you guys in

6
00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:15,759
mission control

7
00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:17,039
yeah we understand you're going to

8
00:00:20,950 --> 00:00:18,400
provide us some entertainment this

9
00:00:23,349 --> 00:00:20,960
evening you know nasa flight break made

10
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:23,359
us close our windows today we can't even

11
00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:26,160
look out the windows all night so yeah

12
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:28,480

00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:51,750
we have uh we don't have rubs but we

22
00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:54,320
have drums stick and we have things to

23
00:00:56,869 --> 00:00:55,840
bang on but i can't tell you what they

24
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:56,879
are because the flight director's

25
00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:58,399
sitting next to you again

26
00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:00,800
but uh we do have musical talent on

27
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:03,120
board chris chris is like

28
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:05,280
he has almost a living as a musician as

29
00:01:10,469 --> 00:01:08,560
a second wife i i would love to have the

30
00:01:12,550 --> 00:01:10,479
talent to do that but i don't have it

31
00:01:15,109 --> 00:01:12,560
and tom has it

32
00:01:17,350 --> 00:01:15,119
but uh we uh we all we all share the

33
00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:17,360
love of it and uh we like seeing you on

34
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:19,520
the ground i'm gonna let you guys talk

35
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:20,880
because it's such a pleasure to have you

36
00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:22,640
on board hopefully we'll get to spend

37
00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:24,479
just a little time and maybe the kids

38
00:01:27,990 --> 00:01:25,920
can have some questions or something if

39
00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:28,000
they want to

40
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:30,560
i can see it's uh jimi hendrix eats your

41
00:01:56,389 --> 00:01:48,630
there you go playing your song way up

42
00:02:11,270 --> 00:01:58,069
i'm playing it in d hopefully you played

43
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:14,390
hello

44
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:36,470
um

45
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:39,509
a very nervous boy here

46
00:02:49,589 --> 00:02:47,750
oh that's okay

47
00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:49,599
it's not it's not every day you have to

48
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:51,440
talk with people on tv but it's really

49
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:53,680
nice most of the time we don't get back

50
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:55,200
in mission control so it's really nice

51
00:02:59,110 --> 00:02:57,120
to see you guys there today and i see

52
00:03:00,869 --> 00:02:59,120
you've got a lot of followers you know

53
00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:00,879
usually special guests only have one

54
00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:02,640
astronaut to escort them but i've seen

55
00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:05,200
multiple astronauts in there today so

56
00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:07,200
this uh they must want to pay special

57
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:09,920
attention and uh of course uh of course

58
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:12,000
it's it's great always great to have

59
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:13,920
people come visit mission control we

60
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:15,680
know you come come kind of from a

61
00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:17,280
different world and

62
00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:20,080
we in the technical world and at nasa

63
00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:20,959
really

64
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:22,800
even even though uh

65
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:24,560
even though we spent most of our time in

66
00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:26,560
technical pursuits we do appreciate uh

67
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:28,080
what you're all about and what you do

68
00:03:31,589 --> 00:03:30,239
well we really appreciate what you guys

69
00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:31,599
are doing and

70
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:34,560
it's it's very exciting for us

71
00:03:46,149 --> 00:03:44,390
yes you bet we can do some astronaut

72
00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:46,159
tricks for you and you guys could do

73
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:47,680
some tricks there stand up on top of the

74
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:49,280
console and do a backflip do something

75
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,550
very cool

76
00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:03,030
uh and we gather yeah you recorded a

77
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:05,360
song up there too

78
00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:13,670
actually uh yeah a couple um

79
00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:15,519
my brother and i wrote a a space

80
00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:17,120
christmas carol called jewel in the

81
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:19,600
night and it was uh released just before

82
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:21,440
christmas and then

83
00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:23,440
with the canadian band

84
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:25,120
uh called the bare naked ladies we

85
00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:27,440
recorded a school a song that's being

86
00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:29,520
used in schools all across canada with

87
00:04:35,110 --> 00:04:31,759
the coalition for music education

88
00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:35,120
a song called iss is somebody singing

89
00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:36,560
and it came out really nice it was just

90
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:38,880
released i think last week and uh we're

91
00:04:40,870 --> 00:04:40,160
really proud of it

92
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:40,880
it's

93
00:04:44,950 --> 00:04:43,600
lovely to be able to tie the newness of

94
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:44,960
this experience

95
00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:46,720
with the the long tradition and love of

96
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:48,960
music on earth and it's just natural but

97
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:51,040
it's really beautiful when it happens

98
00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:53,120
sounds fantastic i look forward to

99
00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:02,150
all right well they're treating you well

100
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:04,479
down there uh what else you got oh yeah

101
00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:06,960
no uh we have to keep the youngest of

102
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:11,759
our uh clan here uh well fed but uh

103
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:13,360
he's doing very well and we've we've

104
00:05:16,629 --> 00:05:15,199
been fed and

105
00:05:18,629 --> 00:05:16,639
i think luke's just showing off what

106
00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:18,639
we're eating but uh

107
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:34,950
now we just wanted to ask i think if

108
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:36,639
people were interested in scuba diving

109
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:39,440
before you did your training

110
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:42,639
if you had any any divers

111
00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:44,479
interested in

112
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:46,400
in diving in marine life before you did

113
00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:52,469
as a matter of fact uh yes you know we

114
00:05:56,469 --> 00:05:54,320
love exploration we love going places

115
00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:56,479
where humans don't usually go and it

116
00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:58,639
takes a little bit of technology and a

117
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:00,400
little special training to go there as a

118
00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:02,639
matter of fact uh catfield and i when we

119
00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:04,160
started training for this mission two

120
00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:06,479
and a half almost three years ago

121
00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:07,919
we started off

122
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:09,840
on a scuba trip we lived under water in

123
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:11,520
a laboratory on the bottom of the ocean

124
00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:12,880
for two weeks

125
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:15,199
and we left the habitat with our deep

126
00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:17,280
sea

127
00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:18,400
suits on

128
00:06:23,110 --> 00:06:20,479
and did some research and did some

129
00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:23,120
exploration down there so uh

130
00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:24,880
the the two are very similar in a lot of

131
00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:26,880
ways uh living in little modules and

132
00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:28,720
tight spaces but seeing absolutely

133
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:30,560
incredible and beautiful things that are

134
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:33,600
very rare to have a chance to see so

135
00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:35,680
yeah i think for most astronauts scuba

136
00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:38,160
diving is very much a part of their past

137
00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:39,440
and is a

138
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:45,909
fantastic

139
00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:50,150
and fort wayne is that kevin

140
00:06:54,629 --> 00:06:52,240
because no i used to spend quite a long

141
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:54,639
time in full win and

142
00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:57,360
we had a promoter from fort wayne and so

143
00:07:05,510 --> 00:06:59,360
um i think they would book us when no

144
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,309
well the truth is i just got off of uh

145
00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:10,400
talking to a school in fort wayne

146
00:07:15,189 --> 00:07:12,800
tonight and my sister lives there and

147
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:15,199
she supplied me with this shirt so i i

148
00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:16,479
knew i would be in trouble when i went

149
00:07:19,909 --> 00:07:18,479
back to the planet if i didn't show up

150
00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:19,919
or at least part of the event in this

151
00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:22,240
four way and t-shirts and uh so we just

152
00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:23,520
finished that and we were just having a

153
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:24,880
bite when we got the call that you were

154
00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:27,280
in mission control so uh that's why we

155
00:07:31,670 --> 00:07:30,080
just didn't we we usually dress up just

156
00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:31,680
a little bit more for the events tonight

157
00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:33,120
we're kind of uh

158
00:07:36,710 --> 00:07:35,199
heading toward bed in about an hour uh

159
00:07:38,309 --> 00:07:36,720
we turn in and everything has to be

160
00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:38,319
quite on the space station tonight for a

161
00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:40,720
very special experiment going on where

162
00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:43,120
we have to be really careful so uh we're

163
00:07:47,990 --> 00:07:46,160
just kind of uh in our wine down there

164
00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:48,000
yeah this is uh this is called space

165
00:07:51,909 --> 00:07:49,759
station casual right here

166
00:07:59,189 --> 00:07:51,919
it's very elegant what's the uh what's

167
00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:01,270
it's called marangoni and what it is

168
00:08:06,309 --> 00:08:03,440
actually is a liquid bridge

169
00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:06,319
so what they do is uh actually make a

170
00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:08,400
tube like structure made of liquid

171
00:08:11,430 --> 00:08:10,080
something you absolutely cannot do on

172
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:11,440
the ground

173
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,440
you need a very

174
00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:15,440
very fine zero gravity to do it and then

175
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:17,360
they apply a temperature gradient across

176
00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:19,280
it so basically what this is doing is

177
00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:21,360
looking at fluid physics things you can

178
00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:23,840
only talk about in a physics textbook

179
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:25,199
they're actually

180
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:28,240
looking at it and studying it and able

181
00:08:32,389 --> 00:08:30,160
to determine exactly how the fluid and

182
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:32,399
the temperature differences behave and

183
00:08:35,750 --> 00:08:34,000
in some ways you know discovering new

184
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:35,760
physical principles based on that you

185
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:36,959
know we don't have to guess anymore they

186
00:08:54,230 --> 00:08:38,880
can actually find out what it's like up

187
00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:56,470
