1 00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:35,270 hi and welcome to nasa's johnson space 2 00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:37,200 center my name is patricia moore and i 3 00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:39,599 am with nasa's digital learning network 4 00:02:43,589 --> 00:02:41,920 or dlm for short and the digital 5 00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:43,599 learning network connects students and 6 00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:45,840 educators utilizing video conferencing 7 00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:47,360 and webcasts 8 00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:49,760 to scientists engineers astronauts and 9 00:02:54,309 --> 00:02:52,800 nasa specialists here at nasa and today 10 00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:54,319 the digital learning network and the 11 00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:56,160 public affairs office at johnson space 12 00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:58,319 center is collaborating on a very 13 00:03:03,110 --> 00:03:01,440 special event that takes together music 14 00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:03,120 and the culturals of the international 15 00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:04,560 space station 16 00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:06,800 so i'd like to welcome everybody here 17 00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:08,480 today and there are many guests on the 18 00:03:12,630 -->

first school i'd like 46 00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:10,159 to introduce is pearl hall elementary in 47 00:04:14,149 --> 00:04:12,640 pasadena texas so pearl hall would you 48 00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:14,159 please emit your microphone and say 49 00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:23,189 ah well thank you pearl hall all right 50 00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:25,440 so next i'd like to introduce our second 51 00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:27,840 participant it's henry university and 52 00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:31,040 henry university was crucial in allowing 53 00:04:35,189 --> 00:04:33,040 a special japanese instrument to be 54 00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:35,199 flown to the international space station 55 00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:37,280 so tinry university please them your 56 00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:48,710 all right all right so we'll connect 57 00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:50,400 back with henry in just a moment maybe 58 00:04:55,030 --> 00:04:52,720 they may have some audio difficulty all 59 00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:55,040 right so what i'd like to do to begin 60 00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:57,120 our program is invite katie to share 61 00:05:00,150 --> 00:04:58,560 with us a little bit about the 62 00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:00,160 international space station and the 63 00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:02,240 project 64 00:05:06,469 --> 00:05:03,919 well we're here today 65 00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:06,479 basically to play music all around the 66 00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:07,360 world 67 00:05:11,029 --> 00:05:09,039 so we're here in houston we have a 68 00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:11,039 school in japan we have a school in 69 00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:13,120 houston and we have musicians from 70 00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:14,880 everywhere and we're going to celebrate 71 00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:17,360 basically the international nature of 72 00:05:22,629 --> 00:05:20,000 the space station it's built by 16 73 00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:22,639 different countries and when we're up 74 00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:24,880 there as a crew of six 75 00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:26,240 sometimes we have you know some of the 76 00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:28,400 countries represented sometimes others 77 00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:30,639 and right now we have koichi wakata from 78 00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:32,960 japan on the station with two americans 79 00:05:37,189 --> 00:05:35,360 and his three russian crewmates and so 80 00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:37,199 we're going to celebrate the music of 81 00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:38,639 russia japan 82 00:05:42,390 --> 00:05:41,360 america and whatever else comes to mind 83 00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:42,400 we'll see 84 00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:44,639 the space station itself is i just i 85 00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:46,320 like to see pictures of it it looks to 86 00:05:50,469 --> 00:05:48,080 me like it's an animation like this was 87 00:05:53,029 --> 00:05:50,479 a cartoon but that's a real place i 88 00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:53,039 lived there for six months koichi wakata 89 00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:54,400 and his crewmates have been up there for 90 00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:57,759 almost six as well and it's an amazing 91 00:06:01,029 --> 00:05:59,840 amazing place people think they feel bad 92 00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:01,039 for us because 93 00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:03,199 going to space it's it's pretty small 94 00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:05,039 but actually when we're up on that space 95 00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:07,280 station it's giant and huge it's like 96 00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:08,800 that that picture that you saw it's like 97 00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:11,440 10 train cars all together it's the size 98 00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:13,680 of a football field so it's like train 99 00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:15,759 cars with our buses without the seats in 100 00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:18,160 them and in that volume we can do 101 00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:20,479 science experiments we can we can do all 102 00:06:23,749 --> 00:06:22,880 sorts of things and we fly from place to 103 00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:23,759 place 104 00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:25,280 one of the things that 105 00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:26,960 i really like to talk about is the 106 00:06:31,189 --> 00:06:28,720 science that we do up on the space 107 00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:31,199 station and we've got a great picture of 108 00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:33,360 koichi that shows 109 00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:35,759 just why we do science we do experiments 110 00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:38,400 up there that we cannot do down here on 111 00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:41,280 the ground look at that ball of water 112 00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:42,479 down here on the ground it would be a 113 00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:43,840 puddle on the ground 114 00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:47,520 and and so up in space because it forms 115 00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:48,560 a sphere 116 00:06:52,790 --> 00:06:49,840 we get to see 117 00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:52,800 what does water really want to do 118 00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:55,599 we get to grow crystals where crystals 119 00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:57,759 are growing more perfectly we get to 120 00:07:02,469 --> 00:07:00,240 study combustion where we're looking at 121 00:07:05,189 --> 00:07:02,479 candle flames that don't look like this 122 00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:05,199 but actually are round and spherical and 123 00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:07,840 because of that it lets us study 124 00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:10,639 combustion and pollution and how things 125 00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:13,120 burn more efficiently up in space so the 126 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:15,520 reason we do experiments up in space is 127 00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:17,039 because we can do things there that we 128 00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:19,199 can we can't do down here 129 00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:21,520 and because the things that we learn up 130 00:07:25,909 --> 00:07:23,599 there in space are things that come 131 00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:25,919 right back home down here to earth i've 132 00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:28,080 got a couple more pictures to show you 133 00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:29,360 there's one one of my favorite 134 00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:30,960 experiments it looks uh 135 00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:33,840 kind of like a um it's really just a 136 00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:35,919 liquid in a container but again we're 137 00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:38,880 seeing what do liquids really want to do 138 00:07:42,550 --> 00:07:41,120 you're also seeing what does karen's 139 00:07:44,869 --> 00:07:42,560 hair want to do 140 00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:44,879 it's pretty wild 141 00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:46,720 i think it's pretty neat to see 142 00:07:51,589 --> 00:07:49,520 how these things act in microgravity and 143 00:07:53,350 --> 00:07:51,599 because the forces are so tiny down here 144 00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:53,360 on the earth they're hard to study but 145 00:07:56,469 --> 00:07:55,440 up in space it's easier and so the 146 00:07:58,629 --> 00:07:56,479 things that we're learning from the 147 00:08:01,430 --> 00:07:58,639 experiment that karen was doing was for 148 00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:01,440 example when we're on our way to mars 149 00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:03,120 i personally would like to know how much 150 00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:05,440 gas we have in our tank and if the gas 151 00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:07,039 is all floating well how are we going to 152 00:08:10,710 --> 00:08:08,960 know that well in the experiment karen 153 00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:10,720 was doing when we changed the angle of 154 00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,520 the container just by like three degrees 155 00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:15,440 so small you can't even see it 156 00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:17,520 all of that liquid all of our fuel is 157 00:08:20,950 --> 00:08:18,720 going to be in one place in the 158 00:08:22,629 --> 00:08:20,960 container that's so important to learn 159 00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:22,639 about so we're learning all sorts of 160 00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:24,240 things that we can't hear find out down 161 00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:26,080 here on the ground and we're learning 162 00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:28,879 about ourselves about our bodies and how 163 00:08:33,269 --> 00:08:31,360 people live in space up on the space 164 00:08:36,389 --> 00:08:33,279 station it's our test bed for 165 00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:36,399 exploration because we are going back to 166 00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:39,599 the moon to asteroids and onto mars and 167 00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:42,000 we're not ready we are not ready yet and 168 00:08:45,030 --> 00:08:43,360 that's why we have the space station and 169 00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:45,040 we do these experiments one of the 170 00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:46,080 things we need to find out is what 171 00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:48,240 happens to people up there you know we 172 00:08:51,910 --> 00:08:50,240 don't walk around on our feet our brains 173 00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:51,920 don't get that message that they need to 174 00:08:56,949 --> 00:08:54,640 build bone and so we actually lose a lot 175 00:08:58,630 --> 00:08:56,959 of bone and muscle while we're up there 176 00:08:59,430 --> 00:08:58,640 i think we have a picture of koichi on 177 00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:59,440 our 178 00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:01,200 exercise machine 179 00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:04,560 and by doing exercise up there it turns 180 00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:06,880 out that we don't actually lose as much 181 00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:08,560 bone and muscle and in fact i can speak 182 00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:11,519 for my own results i came back without 183 00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:14,000 losing i did lose some bone but i came 184 00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:15,760 back really with the same amount that i 185 00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:16,880 left with 186 00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:18,880 and here's the secret 187 00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:21,760 exercise yes exercise so we're learning 188 00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:24,480 all about how to keep to build uh strong 189 00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:27,120 bones for mars and at the same time we 190 00:09:31,670 --> 00:09:29,120 need strong bones down here too these 191 00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:31,680 kids need strong bones and it comes down 192 00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:33,279 to exercise and other things so the 193 00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:35,120 experiments again that we do up there 194 00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:37,120 we're getting to understand how to do 195 00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:39,360 them we're understanding more about life 196 00:09:43,829 --> 00:09:42,160 down here and last but not least i'd 197 00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:43,839 just like to show a picture of koichi 198 00:09:47,110 --> 00:09:45,200 and his crew because we're going to meet 199 00:09:49,910 --> 00:09:47,120 koichi but the other folks are probably 200 00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:49,920 pretty busy doing uh science experiments 201 00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:52,640 but um let's see uh so we've got koichi 202 00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:54,480 there you see the six of them we go up 203 00:09:58,870 --> 00:09:56,320 in groups of three 204 00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:58,880 and then when we get up there there'll 205 00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:00,959 already be three people up there 206

446 00:21:32,710 --> 00:21:29,520 you're actually 447 00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:32,720 in a space station orbiting the earth 448 00:21:36,630 --> 00:21:34,080 looking down 449 00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:36,640 seeing your country and in fact i 450 00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:38,960 studied very often in japan for my 451 00:21:43,029 --> 00:21:40,960 mission so it's very very happy to look 452 00:21:45,110 --> 00:21:43,039 down and see japan when you look down 453 00:21:46,789 --> 00:21:45,120 and you realize that everyone you know 454 00:21:48,710 --> 00:21:46,799 is down there 455 00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:48,720 it's wonderful to be up in space and at 456 00:21:53,990 --> 00:21:51,200 the same time it's it's um 457 00:21:56,710 --> 00:21:54,000 i i felt so so privileged to have that 458 00:21:58,789 --> 00:21:56,720 viewpoint and actually to realize that 459 00:22:00,710 --> 00:21:58,799 i don't actually come from a country i 460 00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:00,720 come from the earth and that our earth 461 00:22:05,350 --> 00:22:02,880 is in the neighborhood of space 462 00:22:07,270 --> 00:22:05,360 and it's a wonderful place 463 00:22:11,990 --> 00:22:07,280 thank you all right pearl hall you're up 464 00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:15,430 hi i am daisy and my question is 465 00:22:19,029 --> 00:22:17,120 we have rules we have to follow at 466 00:22:22,710 --> 00:22:19,039 school what roles do you have to follow 467 00:22:24,070 --> 00:22:22,720 while you're living on the iss 468 00:22:27,029 --> 00:22:24,080 rules well you know we don't we don't 469 00:22:28,549 --> 00:22:27,039 actually have to follow any rules at all 470 00:22:30,950 --> 00:22:28,559 not true you know we have to follow 471 00:22:33,110 --> 00:22:30,960 rules just like you do and 472 00:22:35,029 --> 00:22:33,120 up there it it it's really clear that 473 00:22:36,549 --> 00:22:35,039 safety is the most important thing 474 00:22:38,830 --> 00:22:36,559 because we're in kind of a dangerous 475 00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:38,840 place 476 00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:42,480 right makes me realize that being being 477 00:22:45,909 --> 00:22:44,320 following rules there's a reason for 478 00:22:49,350 --> 00:22:45,919 them and even though i actually don't 479 00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:49,360 always feel like following the rules 480 00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:51,280 it's plain old important and it just has 481 00:22:55,110 --> 00:22:53,120 to be done and you just follow the rules 482 00:22:56,789 --> 00:22:55,120 and get that part done and get on with 483 00:22:58,710 --> 00:22:56,799 whatever work you're trying to do there 484 00:23:00,789 --> 00:22:58,720 so we have lots of rules up there as 485 00:23:03,190 --> 00:23:00,799 well and pretty much we have to do what 486 00:23:05,029 --> 00:23:03,200 we're told even commander wakata i think 487 00:23:07,510 --> 00:23:05,039 will tell you that 488 00:23:11,270 --> 00:23:07,520 all right tender university please tell 489 00:23:15,830 --> 00:23:12,710 hi 490 00:23:18,789 --> 00:23:15,840 my name is nagami 491 00:23:21,350 --> 00:23:18,799 and my question is 492 00:23:25,190 --> 00:23:21,360 is there anything that 493 00:23:26,950 --> 00:23:25,200 you thought was an advantage or 494 00:23:27,909 --> 00:23:26,960 disadvantage 495 00:23:30,390 --> 00:23:27,919 about 496 00:23:32,230 --> 00:23:30,400 being a female 497 00:23:33,590 --> 00:23:32,240 external 498 00:23:36,870 --> 00:23:33,600 so 499 00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:36,880 being being a woman astronaut up there 500 00:23:40,070 --> 00:23:38,320 it's just nice to have lots of different 501 00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:40,080 kinds of people up there i will say in 502 00:23:45,430 --> 00:23:42,559 general um we can be 503 00:23:46,950 --> 00:23:45,440 smaller than some of the guys and down 504 00:23:48,710 --> 00:23:46,960 here that can be a disadvantage where 505 00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:48,720 i'm always having to stand on a step to 506 00:23:53,190 --> 00:23:51,039 be tall enough right 507 00:23:55,510 --> 00:23:53,200 but then up in space i'm tall enough so 508 00:23:57,350 --> 00:23:55,520 there's advantages and disadvantages but 509 00:23:59,190 --> 00:23:57,360 what i find is sometimes the equipment 510 00:24:02,230 --> 00:23:59,200 is actually made for people who are 511 00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:02,240 bigger than i am or i'm left-handed and 512 00:24:05,590 --> 00:24:03,760 i find the equipment is made for people 513 00:24:08,149 --> 00:24:05,600 who use their right hand more 514 00:24:11,430 --> 00:24:08,159 and what i think is important is having 515 00:24:13,350 --> 00:24:11,440 lots of women and minorities 516 00:24:15,830 --> 00:24:13,360 going to school getting the tools that 517 00:24:18,310 --> 00:24:15,840 they need to be the engineers to design 518 00:24:20,470 --> 00:24:18,320 that space station and to design the 519 00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:20,480 rockets that we'll bring to mars and the 520 00:24:25,110 --> 00:24:23,440 place we'll live on mars i want women 521 00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:25,120 and other minorities minorities to 522 00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:27,360 design those things so that when they 523 00:24:31,430 --> 00:24:30,000 get there everything will fit them 524 00:24:33,269 --> 00:24:31,440 all right great all right we're going to 525 00:24:35,110 --> 00:24:33,279 take another question from pearl hall 526 00:24:41,350 --> 00:24:35,120 elementary what's your next question for 527 00:24:46,230 --> 00:24:44,310 my name is myra and my question is if 528 00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:46,240 you could be the first person on mars 529 00:24:53,669 --> 00:24:51,750 well you know i started to think well 530 00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:53,679 okay there would be my son and my 531 00:24:56,230 --> 00:24:54,720 husband 532 00:24:58,390 --> 00:24:56,240 but chances are they're going to be too 533 00:24:59,909 --> 00:24:58,400 heavy and i can't bring those things 534 00:25:02,390 --> 00:24:59,919 you know i'd love to say i'd bring my 535 00:25:03,430 --> 00:25:02,400 flute you know which i have here or that 536 00:25:05,029 --> 00:25:03,440 i would 537 00:25:06,549 --> 00:25:05,039 bring some things like that that i just 538 00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:06,559 love but first we're going to bring the 539 00:25:12,470 --> 00:25:09,520 equipment that we need to explore mars 540 00:25:15,350 --> 00:25:12,480 to live there safely and to be able to 541 00:25:16,789 --> 00:25:15,360 return home and to send data home so 542 00:25:18,789 --> 00:25:16,799 that everyone back on earth can 543 00:25:21,510 --> 00:25:18,799 understand what it's like on mars so 544 00:25:23,669 --> 00:25:21,520 that we can then send more people safely 545 00:25:26,390 --> 00:25:23,679 and then go to places even beyond mars 546 00:25:27,909 --> 00:25:26,400 so i bring the things that we need 547 00:25:29,350 --> 00:25:27,919 good all right well we have a few 548 00:25:31,430 --> 00:25:29,360 minutes before we're going to be 549 00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:31,440 connected with koichi so i actually have 550 00:25:36,149 --> 00:25:33,520 a question for you when you were on the 551 00:25:37,830 --> 00:25:36,159 international space station did you make 552 00:25:41,830 --> 00:25:37,840 a new discovery or does someone within 553 00:25:44,230 --> 00:25:41,840 your team make a new discovery in space 554 00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:44,240 here's something i think unexpected 555 00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:46,080 about new discoveries is 556 00:25:50,470 --> 00:25:48,480 we we see tv programs we think that one 557 00:25:52,789 --> 00:25:50,480 person makes a discovery 558 00:25:54,630 --> 00:25:52,799 people make discoveries together 559 00:25:56,870 --> 00:25:54,640 when they work together and so we 560 00:25:59,590 --> 00:25:56,880 actually did have a pretty exciting 561 00:26:02,070 --> 00:25:59,600 discovery when i was on board in terms 562 00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:02,080 of fluids and figuring out what do 563 00:26:06,950 --> 00:26:04,880 liquids really want to to do and i 564 00:26:08,549 --> 00:26:06,960 mentioned it earlier understanding 565 00:26:10,630 --> 00:26:08,559 more things about how to design that 566 00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:10,640 zero-g fuel tank so that we have enough 567 00:26:16,549 --> 00:26:12,240 fuel to get to mars so we know how much 568 00:26:19,590 --> 00:26:17,590 all right it looks like we're going to 569 00:26:20,950 --> 00:26:19,600 begin our event so let's stand by just a 570 00:26:22,870 --> 00:26:20,960 few seconds and we're going to be

00:35:32,560 would like an opportunity to speak with 693 00:35:37,430 --> 00:35:34,720 you and ask you a few questions i'd like 694 00:35:39,430 --> 00:35:37,440 to first go to pearl hall please um your 695 00:35:45,030 --> 00:35:39,440 microphone and ask kenji your first two 696 00:35:50,230 --> 00:35:48,470 hi my name is denise rodriguez and my 697 00:35:51,030 --> 00:35:50,240 question is 698 00:36:03,030 --> 00:35:51,040 how 699 00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:03,040 in 700 00:36:08,069 --> 00:36:05,040 order to play 701 00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:08,079 on the iss what are the differences 702 00:36:15,430 --> 00:36:09,760 between playing 703 00:36:19,589 --> 00:36:18,069 well that's a very good question 704 00:36:21,589 --> 00:36:19,599 here onboard the international space 705 00:36:24,870 --> 00:36:21,599 station we have air 706 00:36:27,750 --> 00:36:24,880 and the the pressure of the air is 707 00:36:29,030 --> 00:36:27,760 pretty much same as the the pressure on 708 00:36:32,069 --> 00:36:29,040 the ground 709 00:36:34,390 --> 00:36:32,079 so the uh the acoustic characteristics 710 00:36:36,630 --> 00:36:34,400 of the air that we breathe here inside 711 00:36:37,829 --> 00:36:36,640 of the space station is the same as on 712 00:36:39,430 --> 00:36:37,839 the ground 713 00:36:41,190 --> 00:36:39,440 as a result 714 00:36:43,510 --> 00:36:41,200 sound of 715 00:36:46,069 --> 00:36:43,520 our voice you know transmits very 716 00:36:49,190 --> 00:36:46,079 similar that's why we do not need to 717 00:36:51,349 --> 00:36:49,200 make any special adjustment of many 718 00:36:52,470 --> 00:36:51,359 musical instruments that we have 719 00:36:53,589 --> 00:36:52,480 and then 720 00:36:56,150 --> 00:36:53,599 so 721 00:36:58,150 --> 00:36:56,160 we can play it and listen to the musical 722 00:37:12,870 --> 00:36:58,160 instruments like on the ground here 723 00:37:17,190 --> 00:37:15,349 hi my name is eric and my question is do 724 00:37:19,990 --> 00:37:17,200 you believe that the existence of 725 00:37:23,589 --> 00:37:20,000 instruments and music on the iss 726 00:37:30,310 --> 00:37:23,599 increases the longevity and 727 00:37:34,150 --> 00:37:31,990 yeah that's a that's really a good 728 00:37:38,150 --> 00:37:34,160 question then yes i 729 00:37:41,510 --> 00:37:38,160 strongly believe that the music 730 00:37:44,069 --> 00:37:41,520 gives us a sensation of relaxation 731 00:37:46,630 --> 00:37:44,079 in space as well as on the ground 732 00:37:48,710 --> 00:37:46,640 and then listening to music playing 733 00:37:50,790 --> 00:37:48,720 music on board the space station will 734 00:37:52,310 --> 00:37:50,800 make our life on board the space station 735 00:37:55,589 --> 00:37:52,320 more enjoyable 736 00:37:57,829 --> 00:37:55,599 and it's the same on the ground and here 737 00:38:00,230 --> 00:37:57,839 in the very 738 00:38:02,870 --> 00:38:00,240 secluded area of the space station where 739 00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:02,880 we have only six crew members and the 740 00:38:21,109 --> 00:38:06,240 music is a really good psychological 741 00:38:26,710 --> 00:38:23,990 all right so henry university 742 00:38:29,589 --> 00:38:26,720 their first question is how will 3d 743 00:38:34,710 --> 00:38:29,599 printing support future human missions 744 00:38:39,510 --> 00:38:36,710 yeah 745 00:38:40,470 --> 00:38:39,520 3d print printing technology 746 00:38:43,589 --> 00:38:40,480 will 747 00:38:45,030 --> 00:38:43,599 enable us to have very efficient 748 00:38:47,270 --> 00:38:45,040 production of 749 00:38:50,630 --> 00:38:47,280 parts that i use 750 00:38:52,390 --> 00:38:50,640 for rockets and human spacecraft 751 00:38:54,069 --> 00:38:52,400 and right now onboard the space station 752 00:38:55,990 --> 00:38:54,079 we don't have 3d 753 00:38:58,550 --> 00:38:56,000 printing machines but there are a lot of 754 00:39:00,310 --> 00:38:58,560 parts that are already used in in the 755 00:39:02,390 --> 00:39:00,320 space station program that came from 756 00:39:06,230 --> 00:39:02,400 this 3d printing 757 00:39:09,349 --> 00:39:06,240 production and maybe when we go to mars 758 00:39:12,470 --> 00:39:09,359 uh or asteroid probably mars 759 00:39:14,710 --> 00:39:12,480 uh astronauts may be making our own 760 00:39:17,349 --> 00:39:14,720 parts that are needed to continue the 761 00:39:19,990 --> 00:39:17,359 space flight and the activities on mars 762 00:39:22,150 --> 00:39:20,000 using the technology of 3d printing 763 00:39:23,990 --> 00:39:22,160 productions 764 00:39:25,829 --> 00:39:24,000 here henry let's give you guys another 765 00:40:09,030 --> 00:39:25,839 shot please emu your microphone and ask 766 00:40:14,150 --> 00:40:11,349 jackson has an experiment on the space 767 00:40:17,430 --> 00:40:14,160 station that is look at 768 00:40:20,470 --> 00:40:17,440 how semiconductor materials grow and 769 00:41:19,589 --> 00:40:20,480 crystallize in microgravity will this 770 00:41:24,710 --> 00:41:21,349 yeah definitely uh we have been 771 00:41:26,309 --> 00:41:24,720 conducting experiments of producing or 772 00:41:28,710 --> 00:41:26,319 developing the technology of 773 00:41:30,950 --> 00:41:28,720 semiconductor materials in 774 00:41:33,030 --> 00:41:30,960 onboard the space station utilizing the 775 00:41:35,829 --> 00:41:33,040 very unique microgravity 776 00:41:37,109 --> 00:41:35,839 environment on the space station 777 00:41:39,349 --> 00:41:37,119 and 778 00:41:43,670 --> 00:41:39,359 by utilizing this microgravity 779 00:41:46,950 --> 00:41:43,680 environment we can make a very good 780 00:41:48,470 --> 00:41:46,960 high quality homogeneous materials of 781 00:41:50,470 --> 00:41:48,480 semiconductors 782 00:41:52,710 --> 00:41:50,480 and that will benefit the the 783 00:41:55,430 --> 00:41:52,720 enhancement of the technology of 784 00:41:58,150 --> 00:41:55,440 semiconductor development or production 785 00:41:59,670 --> 00:41:58,160 on the ground and until recently we have 786 00:42:02,550 --> 00:41:59,680 been conducting an experiment called 787 00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:02,560 hikari experiment that we 788 00:42:06,790 --> 00:42:04,800 tested or experimented the the 789 00:42:10,069 --> 00:42:06,800 semiconductor materials 790 00:42:12,230 --> 00:42:10,079 using uh silicon and germanium and 791 00:42:15,190 --> 00:42:12,240 that's done in this keyboard module just 792 00:42:25,510 --> 00:42:17,510 pearl hall you're up next please ask 793 00:42:30,390 --> 00:42:28,550 hi i'm viviana southeastern 794 00:42:33,589 --> 00:42:30,400 southeastern high school which is in our 795 00:42:34,710 --> 00:42:33,599 hometown has has an experiment on space 796 00:42:38,150 --> 00:42:34,720 station 797 00:42:40,470 --> 00:42:38,160 that is researching the reaction 798 00:42:43,349 --> 00:42:40,480 of the polymer polymers 799 00:42:45,589 --> 00:42:43,359 that becomes a hard sticky foam 800 00:42:51,349 --> 00:42:45,599 how could astronauts use this type of 801 00:42:55,750 --> 00:42:53,829 yeah thank you for the question that's 802 00:42:57,589 --> 00:42:55,760 that's one of the the nanoracks 803 00:42:59,190 --> 00:42:57,599 experiments that we have been conducting 804 00:43:01,589 --> 00:42:59,200 on both the international space station 805 00:43:04,550 --> 00:43:01,599 that is a very neat technology 806 00:43:06,870 --> 00:43:04,560 and i i think by using that 807 00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:06,880 polymer technology we will be able to 808 00:43:12,390 --> 00:43:09,680 fix the for example damage and the 809 00:43:15,510 --> 00:43:12,400 cracks that occurs on the parts or the 810 00:43:17,589 --> 00:43:15,520 structures of the space station so 811 00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:17,599 definitely that will be utilized you 812 00:43:23,829 --> 00:43:20,400 know for future uh space activities on 813 00:43:25,109 --> 00:43:23,839 both the space space station and maybe 814 00:43:28,710 --> 00:43:25,119 on a different 815 00:43:51,109 --> 00:43:31,510 at henry university your final question 816 00:43:51,119 --> 00:44:52,950 foreign 817 00:44:57,270 --> 00:44:54,710 this is a very similar questions that i 818 00:44:59,589 --> 00:44:57,280 received earlier but the 819 00:45:02,230 --> 00:44:59,599 we already have a variety of 820 00:45:04,550 --> 00:45:02,240 parts that are made from the 3d printing 821 00:45:07,030 --> 00:45:04,560 technologies that are right now used 822 00:45:09,510 --> 00:45:07,040 on the space station and other parts of 823 00:45:11,990 --> 00:45:09,520 the space development and i'm hoping and 824 00:45:14,150 --> 00:45:12,000 i believe that in the future when we go 825 00:45:16,550 --> 00:45:14,160 beyond north orbit 826 00:45:18,550 --> 00:45:16,560 for example to mars 827 00:45:21,190 --> 00:45:18,560 astronauts will be able to make new 828 00:45:23,510 --> 00:45:21,200 parts uh utilizing the 3d printing 829 00:45:25,750 --> 00:45:23,520 technology that are needed for repair 830 00:45:28,470 --> 00:45:25,760 and maintenance of a spacecraft or space 831 00:45:31,589 --> 00:45:28,480 structure that we will have on board 832 00:45:33,829 --> 00:45:31,599 on mars surface so it's a very unique 833 00:45:37,270 --> 00:45:33,839 and very 834 00:45:38,470 --> 00:45:37,280 technology 835

counter measures 844 00:46:16,230 --> 00:46:13,440 to cope with a situation where we lose 845 00:46:19,430 --> 00:46:16,240 bone density and muscle strength and 846 00:46:22,550 --> 00:46:19,440 exercise is very important we're gaining 847 00:46:24,069 --> 00:46:22,560 a lot of experience of very efficient 848 00:46:26,390 --> 00:46:24,079 way to conduct 849 00:46:30,710 --> 00:46:26,400 exercise during the flight and that kind 850 00:46:33,349 --> 00:46:30,720 of data will uh help develop uh 851 00:46:35,270 --> 00:46:33,359 exercise protocol that will be used for 852 00:46:37,349

00:50:06,720 um obviously music is a really important 905 00:50:10,230 --> 00:50:08,880 part of our life here on earth and of 906 00:50:12,150 --> 00:50:10,240 course on the international space 907 00:50:14,069 --> 00:50:12,160 station and katie i would really like 908 00:50:15,349 --> 00:50:14,079 for you to share with us um some of the 909 00:50:16,790 --> 00:50:15,359 instruments that have been onboard the 910 00:50:18,710 --> 00:50:16,800 space station and maybe some of your 911 00:50:20,549 --> 00:50:18,720 personal experiences 912 00:50:22,470 --> 00:50:20,559 well i think some of you know that i 913 00:50:24,390 --> 00:50:22,480 play the flute and you know i've done 914 00:50:26,150 --> 00:50:24,400 that since i was a kid 915 00:50:27,990 --> 00:50:26,160 but i wasn't a professional flute player 916 00:50:30,069 --> 00:50:28,000 i just like to play and i like to play 917 00:50:31,829 --> 00:50:30,079 with people when i went up to the space 918 00:50:33,910 --> 00:50:31,839 station and i had a little room to bring 919 00:50:35,430 --> 00:50:33,920 a few things i did bring my flute in 920 00:50:38,549 --> 00:50:35,440 fact it's actually 921 00:50:41,430 --> 00:50:38,559 this one right here and it's been 922 00:50:43,430 --> 00:50:41,440 93 million miles i think something like 923 00:50:45,109 --> 00:50:43,440 that it went around quite and in fact i 924 00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:45,119 brought several other flutes up to the 925 00:50:48,309 --> 00:50:46,720 space station as well because it was 926 00:50:50,870 --> 00:50:48,319 important to me to share my space 927 00:50:52,870 --> 00:50:50,880 station experience in that way um i 928 00:50:55,430 --> 00:50:52,880 think we've got some neat video of just 929 00:50:56,790 --> 00:50:55,440 my instruments and other and other folks 930 00:50:59,270 --> 00:50:56,800 and i i'll just kind of talk through it 931 00:51:01,829 --> 00:50:59,280 while we watch um this 932 00:51:03,750 --> 00:51:01,839 i love just showing people that it's a 933 00:51:05,829 --> 00:51:03,760 different world up there and when you 934 00:51:08,309 --> 00:51:05,839 saw koichi tossing the show back and 935 00:51:10,390 --> 00:51:08,319 forth and just kind of tumbling around 936 00:51:12,630 --> 00:51:10,400 this is a duet that i played with mr ian 937 00:51:14,390 --> 00:51:12,640 anderson of the musical group jethro 938 00:51:16,950 --> 00:51:14,400 tull he was the person that brought the 939 00:51:18,870 --> 00:51:16,960 flute to rock music and so we played a 940 00:51:21,990 --> 00:51:18,880 duet and it was actually the first duet 941 00:51:24,870 --> 00:51:22,000 between earth and space so i don't mean 942 00:51:26,470 --> 00:51:24,880 to show you up kenji 943 00:51:28,549 --> 00:51:26,480 but we've had a number of people bring 944 00:51:30,150 --> 00:51:28,559 instruments up and even just you know 945 00:51:31,670 --> 00:51:30,160 listening to music having fun together 946 00:51:33,829 --> 00:51:31,680 having fun with your friends on the 947 00:51:36,549 --> 00:51:33,839 ground this is part of a music video 948 00:51:38,470 --> 00:51:36,559 called world by five five for fighting 949 00:51:40,630 --> 00:51:38,480 where it said what kind of world do you 950 00:51:41,990 --> 00:51:40,640 want and and that's just something 951 00:51:44,309 --> 00:51:42,000 that's really important for all of us to 952 00:51:45,910 --> 00:51:44,319 think about and i think um when we get 953 00:51:48,549 --> 00:51:45,920 together and we play music this is 954 00:51:50,230 --> 00:51:48,559 myself uh and the chieftains a group 955 00:51:52,710 --> 00:51:50,240 called the chieftains i brought a penny 956 00:51:55,030 --> 00:51:52,720 whistle and a 150 year old flute up to 957 00:51:58,150 --> 00:51:55,040 the space station uh for that group and 958 00:52:00,390 --> 00:51:58,160 we're playing with the houston symphony 959 00:52:02,870 --> 00:52:00,400 and it's to me it was just it was 960 00:52:04,230 --> 00:52:02,880 important to play together 961 00:52:05,750 --> 00:52:04,240 the fact that i i played their 962 00:52:07,829 --> 00:52:05,760 instruments up in space and then i 963 00:52:09,270 --> 00:52:07,839 brought them home and i got to talk with 964 00:52:10,710 --> 00:52:09,280 them and play with them and if you see 965 00:52:12,790 --> 00:52:10,720 me right here i'm playing in duet with 966 00:52:14,630 --> 00:52:12,800 mr matt malloy and i will tell you that 967 00:52:16,470 --> 00:52:14,640 i'm very nervous 968 00:52:18,549 --> 00:52:16,480 and and and i think it's really 969 00:52:21,030 --> 00:52:18,559 important for our students here 970 00:52:22,390 --> 00:52:21,040 and for people who play instruments to 971 00:52:23,750 --> 00:52:22,400 realize that 972 00:52:25,190 --> 00:52:23,760 you don't have to be the best in the 973 00:52:27,510 --> 00:52:25,200 whole world you just have to want to 974 00:52:29,670 --> 00:52:27,520 share and then it takes a certain amount 975 00:52:31,670 --> 00:52:29,680 of being brave you know here's chris 976 00:52:33,510 --> 00:52:31,680 hadfield playing the guitar you know 977 00:52:35,829 --> 00:52:33,520 he's a wonderful guitar player and 978 00:52:37,510 --> 00:52:35,839 singer songwriter um is he the best in 979 00:52:40,309 --> 00:52:37,520 the world well probably not but was he 980 00:52:41,750 --> 00:52:40,319 willing to be brave and share he was and 981 00:52:43,190 --> 00:52:41,760 in fact here we are playing it's our 982 00:52:45,349 --> 00:52:43,200 group that we play together with chris 983 00:52:46,950 --> 00:52:45,359 on the ground bandela we are playing 984 00:52:49,349 --> 00:52:46,960 with the houston symphony with the 985 00:52:51,910 --> 00:52:49,359 chieftains and we're playing moon dance 986 00:52:53,589 --> 00:52:51,920 and so chris was on the space station we 987 00:52:54,630 --> 00:52:53,599 were in symphony hall right here in 988 00:52:58,069 --> 00:52:54,640 houston 989 00:53:01,910 --> 00:52:58,079 and together we played music together 990 00:53:04,309 --> 00:53:01,920 just just like koichi and kenji just did 991 00:53:07,670 --> 00:53:04,319 and one of the earlier questions that we 992 00:53:10,870 --> 00:53:07,680 had was about whether there's something 993 00:53:12,630 --> 00:53:10,880 spiritual or just a sense of awe that 994 00:53:14,950 --> 00:53:12,640 you would have in in being up on the 995 00:53:16,630 --> 00:53:14,960 space station and i don't think it's 996 00:53:19,349 --> 00:53:16,640 just because i've been there but when 997 00:53:22,710 --> 00:53:19,359 kenji and koichi played and we watched 998 00:53:24,950 --> 00:53:22,720 the video of sailing over the earth and 999 00:53:27,430 --> 00:53:24,960 in video inside the space station and 1000 00:53:29,670 --> 00:53:27,440 koichi floating around and i think 1001 00:53:31,430 --> 00:53:29,680 cuisine was actually entranced when he 1002 00:53:33,270 --> 00:53:31,440 played that instrument longer than he 1003 00:53:35,430 --> 00:53:33,280 had i mean i think he's getting into it 1004 00:53:37,589 --> 00:53:35,440 you know i i think it just there's 1005 00:53:41,109 --> 00:53:37,599 something special that happened you know 1006 00:53:44,069 --> 00:53:41,119 that moment live together even though he 1007 00:53:45,910 --> 00:53:44,079 was on the space station going 17 500 1008 00:53:48,069 --> 00:53:45,920 miles an hour even if you can't be 1009 00:53:49,190 --> 00:53:48,079 physically close you can be together in 1010 00:53:51,589 --> 00:53:49,200 spirit 1011 00:53:53,510 --> 00:53:51,599 and as we travel further and further 1012 00:53:55,190 --> 00:53:53,520 i think that that's really more and more 1013 00:53:58,390 --> 00:53:55,200 important and one of the ways actually 1014 00:54:01,270 --> 00:53:58,400 just for me in any way um not to be 1015 00:54:02,950 --> 00:54:01,280 you know lonely was to put on music that 1016 00:54:04,870 --> 00:54:02,960 my group would play when we played 1017 00:54:06,549 --> 00:54:04,880 together that mandela would play i would 1018 00:54:08,870 --> 00:54:06,559 put that music on and i would go up to 1019 00:54:11,349 --> 00:54:08,880 the the cupola which is in the middle of 1020 00:54:12,950 --> 00:54:11,359 our space station so 1021 00:54:14,790 --> 00:54:12,960 people are sleeping on either end of the 1022 00:54:16,549 --> 00:54:14,800 space station that means that the cupola 1023 00:54:17,910 --> 00:54:16,559 is is a reasonable place to play you're 1024 00:54:20,390 --> 00:54:17,920 not going to wake anybody up it was 1025 00:54:21,990 --> 00:54:20,400 usually night time and i would open the 1026 00:54:23,589 --> 00:54:22,000 window shutters 1027 00:54:25,750 --> 00:54:23,599 look at the
