1
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:03,899
you've really caught on in the social

2
00:00:06,930 --> 00:00:05,530
media world with all these pictures

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:06,940
you've been sending out whatever a

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:08,410
couple of your favorite pictures that

5
00:00:13,140 --> 00:00:10,570
you've tweeted well certainly so far

6
00:00:14,879 --> 00:00:13,150
coming up over the coast of Chile and

7
00:00:17,429 --> 00:00:14,889
seeing the volcanic field that I saw

8
00:00:20,249 --> 00:00:17,439
there that was really spectacular and

9
00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:20,259
then just this morning we came over the

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:23,080
northern coast of Australia and I was in

11
00:00:27,239 --> 00:00:25,570
the cupola with dr. Swanson and we just

12
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:27,249
looked down the way the clouds and the

13
00:00:32,339 --> 00:00:30,160
Red Desert met the ocean from up here

14
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:32,349
the view was absolutely spectacular and

15
00:00:36,510 --> 00:00:34,000
it's it's burned in my mind and I'm

16
00:00:38,190 --> 00:00:36,520
never gonna forget this morning one of

17
00:00:40,020 --> 00:00:38,200
my favorite pictures you sent was the

18
00:00:42,090 --> 00:00:40,030
picture of the red dye as it was

19
00:00:45,810 --> 00:00:42,100
floating in space tell me about that

20
00:00:47,220 --> 00:00:45,820
well my grandfather I don't know why but

21
00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:47,230
he would always just give me these red

22
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:49,900
playing die when I was a kid and playing

23
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:52,330
dice and I really just I loved him as a

24
00:00:56,190 --> 00:00:54,490
kid and I've always kept a handful of

25
00:00:58,110 --> 00:00:56,200
them in my jewelry chest at home and

26
00:00:59,940 --> 00:00:58,120
right before I left I threw a few of

27
00:01:03,030 --> 00:00:59,950
them in a ziplock bag and I brought them

28
00:01:05,130 --> 00:01:03,040
with me and I don't know why that

29
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:05,140
picture worked so well it's just really

30
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:07,210
neat to see that crisp red dye against

31
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:08,530
the blackness of space with our earth

32
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:10,720
under it I think that the playing dye is

33
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:12,640
something that that everybody can kind

34
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:14,470
of relate to so it's like a little toy

35
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:15,910
up there floating around that everybody

36
00:01:19,620 --> 00:01:18,070
can imagine but it's in this completely

37
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:19,630
foreign environment and I think that's

38
00:01:24,260 --> 00:01:22,690
why that picture is so spectacular you

39
00:01:26,970 --> 00:01:24,270
know I'm curious

40
00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:26,980
commander Wiseman how do you tweak from

41
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:28,720
there I take it you don't have a

42
00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:30,310
smartphone on you

43
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:34,720
no there is no smartphone but if I see

44
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:36,370
something that I really like I actually

45
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:39,970
send it down to some of our folks at

46
00:01:45,090 --> 00:01:43,450
NASA in Houston and and they go on to

47
00:01:47,250 --> 00:01:45,100
Twitter and post that for me so I'm

48
00:01:49,260 --> 00:01:47,260
basically using email as a conduit to

49
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:49,270
get these tweets out there it's really

50
00:01:52,530 --> 00:01:51,070
the only way to do it if I had to log

51
00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:52,540
onto the internet every time I would

52
00:01:57,660 --> 00:01:55,390
spend 90% of my day trying to get onto

53
00:01:59,730 --> 00:01:57,670
Twitter and the other 10% working and

54
00:02:01,560 --> 00:01:59,740
reality it's about 99 percent work and

55
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:01,570
10 per one percent taking good pictures

56
00:02:05,550 --> 00:02:04,330
out the window are you aware of sort of

57
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:05,560
the celebrity that you have achieved

58
00:02:10,139 --> 00:02:08,080
back here just vo you're sort of

59
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:10,149
stunning photos that you've posted to

60
00:02:14,119 --> 00:02:11,650
Twitter and Flickr and all the other

61
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:14,129
social media websites

62
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:16,530
my wife's been keeping me up to speed on

63
00:02:20,809 --> 00:02:18,510
some of the the news clippings but

64
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:20,819
absolutely astonishing to me I certainly

65
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:22,650
did not set out for any of that I just

66
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:24,450
wanted to share kind of my first

67
00:02:29,059 --> 00:02:26,609
impressions up here for the first week

68
00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:29,069
or two of what it's like to be a rookie

69
00:02:33,559 --> 00:02:31,260
on the space station and really that was

70
00:02:36,050 --> 00:02:33,569
my goal and apparently a struck a chord

71
00:02:38,209 --> 00:02:36,060
so that's pretty neat what do you hope

72
00:02:39,979 --> 00:02:38,219
to achieve with the sort of captive

73
00:02:44,209 --> 00:02:39,989
audience that you've attained through

74
00:02:46,129 --> 00:02:44,219
all of your pictures really just just to

75
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:46,139
kind of maintain I wouldn't say reawaken

76
00:02:49,940 --> 00:02:47,760
but just that the magic of spaceflight

77
00:02:52,490 --> 00:02:49,950
and putting a human into such a far in

78
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:52,500
place and this really is a foreign place

79
00:02:57,679 --> 00:02:54,930
everything is just unusual up here the

80
00:02:59,539 --> 00:02:57,689
view the living the way we work the way

81
00:03:01,520 --> 00:02:59,549
we eat and if I could just capture a

82
00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:01,530
little of that and and spark some

83
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:03,750
imagination and some folks around the
