00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:10,019
talking about destination station which

7
00:00:13,249 --> 00:00:11,490
some of you may or may not have heard

8
00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:13,259
about so Tammy first of all let's talk

9
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:15,150
about what it actually is kind of a way

10
00:00:18,980 --> 00:00:17,369
for the public to get to interact with

11
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:18,990
the space station absolutely absolutely

12
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:21,090
so destination station is a program that

13
00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:23,310
was created by the International Space

14
00:00:26,599 --> 00:00:25,350
Station in order to kind of educate the

15
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:26,609
public about the wonders of

16
00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:28,289
International Space Station and things

17
00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:30,689
that are happening aboard the station

18
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:33,360
every day they get to see like not only

19
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:35,130
how the crew lives but also the science

20
00:00:38,090 --> 00:00:36,570
that's taking place on board too right

21
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:38,100
absolutely they'll get to actually see

22
00:00:40,850 --> 00:00:39,450
how the crew looks they'll get to see

23
00:00:42,590 --> 00:00:40,860
some of the science research and they'll

24
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:42,600
actually be able to do some interactive

25
00:00:47,690 --> 00:00:44,910
games and displays to be able to see

26
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:47,700
kind of up close and personal how things

27
00:00:50,990 --> 00:00:49,710
actually go aboard the station I me

28
00:00:53,299 --> 00:00:51,000
because we don't know we're here on the

29
00:00:54,619 --> 00:00:53,309
ground yeah yeah so let's talk about Los

30
00:00:55,639 --> 00:00:54,629
Angeles the swords going to be so let's

31
00:00:56,660 --> 00:00:55,649
talk about the dates and where it's

32
00:00:59,689 --> 00:00:56,670
going to be and where people can go

33
00:01:04,579 --> 00:00:59,699
absolutely so it will be in Los Angeles

34
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:04,589
through the 26th of februari people can

35
00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:06,930
actually go starting tomorrow to the Los

36
00:01:12,170 --> 00:01:10,380
Angeles Walk of Fame it'll be located in

37
00:01:14,330 --> 00:01:12,180
front of the chinese theater yeah the

38
00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:14,340
famous China Sea yes so it'll be really

39
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:15,960
neat and there'll be a moon rock so

40
00:01:19,249 --> 00:01:17,369
people can actually go and touch the

41
00:01:20,810 --> 00:01:19,259
moon rock and check out all the displays

42
00:01:24,260 --> 00:01:20,820
about the International Space Station

43
00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:24,270
our trailer is brand-new retrofitted and

44
00:01:27,890 --> 00:01:26,369
it has all interactive displays so

45
00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:27,900
people can actually touch those screens

46
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:29,759
and find out all the information they

47
00:01:32,569 --> 00:01:30,960
need about the International Space

48
00:01:33,679 --> 00:01:32,579
Station she mentioned the moon rock is

49
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:33,689
kind of cool because you don't really

50
00:01:36,289 --> 00:01:35,130
ever get to touch these fences I think

51
00:01:37,370 --> 00:01:36,299
there's likes only seven or eight in the

52
00:01:38,749 --> 00:01:37,380
world you can actually touch yeah

53
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:38,759
there's only a in the world that you can

54
00:01:42,679 --> 00:01:41,040
actually touch and I mean it's pretty

55
00:01:44,749 --> 00:01:42,689
neat to come in contact with something

56
00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:44,759
that's from so far away that I mean in

57
00:01:50,569 --> 00:01:47,070
our lifetime we probably never or we'll

58
00:01:52,370 --> 00:01:50,579
never get to see so and it's there and

59
00:01:54,139 --> 00:01:52,380
it's open and you're able to ask

60
00:01:55,789 --> 00:01:54,149
questions and come in contact with

61
00:01:58,100 --> 00:01:55,799
people who could educate you about it

62
00:01:59,240 --> 00:01:58,110
how that was actually received so that's

63
00:02:00,859 --> 00:01:59,250
cool what are some of the other events

64
00:02:02,149 --> 00:02:00,869

65
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:02,159

66
00:02:05,539 --> 00:02:03,450
that have gone to previous cities

67
00:02:07,789 --> 00:02:05,549

people can go through and kind of

91
00:02:56,170 --> 00:02:54,620
measure their physical fitness against

92
00:02:59,050 --> 00:02:56,180
Peggy Whitson switch you'll probably

93
00:03:01,390 --> 00:02:59,060
lose yeah I heard she's really really

94
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:01,400
fit and she's gonna be signing

95
00:03:04,990 --> 00:03:03,530

96
00:03:07,630 --> 00:03:05,000
you're in Lyon like how'd you get so fit

97
00:03:09,009 --> 00:03:07,640
Peggy yeah so what you've been to a lot

98
00:03:10,119 --> 00:03:09,019
of these in any other cities what's

99
00:03:11,289 --> 00:03:10,129
what's usually the reaction from the

100
00:03:12,699 --> 00:03:11,299
public wonder they finally get to kind

101
00:03:14,259 --> 00:03:12,709
of see what the space station really is

102
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:14,269
about I really like when I go to the

103
00:03:17,559 --> 00:03:15,530
other cities and get to meet with the

104
00:03:19,210 --> 00:03:17,569
public because it reminds us of the

105
00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:19,220
wonderful things we do here I think

106
00:03:24,610 --> 00:03:22,400
people are still in awe of what goes on

107
00:03:26,770 --> 00:03:24,620
here and we're so immune we see it every

108
00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:26,780
day we touch it every day but but they

109
00:03:30,430 --> 00:03:28,790
don't and so it's nice to go out and

110
00:03:31,780 --> 00:03:30,440
interact with the public and let them

111
00:03:33,610 --> 00:03:31,790
know that we're here and we're doing

112
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:33,620
great things and kind of bring them up

113
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:35,510
to speed with where things stand for

114
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:37,760
NASA so so California Science Center is

115
00:03:40,509 --> 00:03:38,690
also going to be the home of some of

116
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:40,519

00:03:45,339 --> 00:03:43,699
shuttle Endeavour is a kept the

119
00:03:46,750 --> 00:03:45,349
California Science Center and we're

120
00:03:51,250 --> 00:03:46,760
actually gonna have activities all there

121
00:03:52,809 --> 00:03:51,260
