1
00:00:07,990 --> 00:00:05,349
for generations we dreamed about a place

2
00:00:10,230 --> 00:00:08,000
to live and work in space

3
00:00:12,629 --> 00:00:10,240
a place where life up there would

4
00:00:15,669 --> 00:00:12,639
benefit life down here

5
00:00:17,590 --> 00:00:15,679
today that dream has come true

6
00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:17,600
research on the international space

7
00:00:21,349 --> 00:00:20,480
station improves lives all over the

8
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:21,359
world

9
00:00:25,589 --> 00:00:24,400
the station's benefits for humanity grow

10
00:00:28,150 --> 00:00:25,599
every day

11
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:28,160
and they can be told by the lives that

12
00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:40,630
is that two

13
00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:43,280
you say two

14
00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:45,840
i found a big lump in the side of my

15
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:48,559
face and i kept going to doctor after

16
00:01:00,150 --> 00:00:56,869
and i was in so much pain at that time i

17
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:00,160
was like dying in bed

18
00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:02,239
it hurts so bad i've never been in so

19
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:08,230
i went for my first mri and then it

20
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:10,720
showed up with like hundreds of tumors

21
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:13,200
all over

22
00:01:17,749 --> 00:01:15,360
and then they sent me to

23
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:17,759
not dr sutherland but someone who works

24
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:19,360
in his office

25
00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:20,400
and

26
00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:21,200
he

27
00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:23,759
thought it was near fibromatosis which i

28
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:25,200
have

29
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:27,520
we didn't even realize what that was

30
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:29,600
we'd always heard it called the elephant

31
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:31,280
man disease

32
00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:33,040
there's different uh

33
00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:35,360
types of neurofibromatosis one of them

34
00:01:39,749 --> 00:01:37,680
the tumors grow on the outside of your

35
00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:39,759
skin the other one the tumors grow on

36
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:48,310
a long time ago when we were thinking

37
00:01:53,429 --> 00:01:51,040
about this we approached mcdonald det

38
00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:53,439
welder associates it's a company that

39
00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:55,520
happens to be located in canada

40
00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:56,640
that built

41
00:02:01,590 --> 00:01:59,280
uh robots for space they built what

42
00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:01,600
canadians call canadarm

43
00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:04,479
and then they constructed the special

44
00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:06,320
purpose dexterous manipulator for the

45
00:02:11,029 --> 00:02:08,800
international space station

46
00:02:14,229 --> 00:02:11,039
and the idea was

47
00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:14,239
if they could build such complex robots

48
00:02:18,229 --> 00:02:16,319
perhaps in collaboration with medicine

49
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:18,239
we could build a robot that could

50
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:26,309
we did not realize that it was

51
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:28,400
built on the same

52
00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:32,080
material as the space arm and

53
00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:34,400
we're quite amazed that that's what he

54
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:36,480
had made it out of but it's the

55
00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,640
multi-dexterity of the robot

56
00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:40,480
and that that robot

57
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:43,360
could perform tasks that made us

58
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:45,760
become increasingly confident that we

59
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:47,760
could overcome the challenges related to

60
00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:49,120
building a robot

61
00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:51,599
that could operate inside an mr machine

62
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:53,280
with the precision the accuracy and the

63
00:02:59,030 --> 00:02:56,800
dexterity of a neurosurgeon

64
00:03:01,670 --> 00:02:59,040
it just so happened that the first

65
00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:01,680
individual was a young woman

66
00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,840
and the young woman harbored a fairly

67
00:03:08,949 --> 00:03:05,360
complex tumor

68
00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:08,959
underneath the front part of her brain

69
00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:11,200
a machine like neuron

70
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:13,280
can manipulate tools

71
00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:16,239
at an accuracy of 50 microns that is

72
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:19,040
overwhelmingly superior to what the best

73
00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:21,360
surgeon might be able to do

74
00:03:24,309 --> 00:03:22,720
i think it's

75
00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:24,319
fabulous and

76
00:03:30,309 --> 00:03:28,239
to me it's actually mind-boggling that

77
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,319
someone can take that material and put

78
00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:32,640
it into

79
00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:35,760
a life-saving device

80
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:37,040
that

81
00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:38,640
can help

82
00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:45,110
i honestly think that right now i'd be

83
00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:47,200
bedridden i would not be able to get out

84
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:50,080
of bed if it's not for my doctors

85
00:03:58,390 --> 00:03:51,680
my parents would be taking care of my

86
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:00,949
i guess like i'm glad that it hopefully

87
00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:03,120
helped people who have my disease and i

88
00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:05,200
hope that it helps people

89
00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:06,159
who

90
00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:07,040
need

91
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:10,000
surgery in the future

92
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:11,920
if they're ever propositioned with a
