houston station on space to ground

2
00:00:06,389 --> 00:00:04,799
welcome to space to ground your weekly

3
00:00:08,230 --> 00:00:06,399
look at what's happening on board the

4
00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:08,240
international space station i'm dan

5
00:00:12,789 --> 00:00:10,880
hewitt it's storm season for many places

6
00:00:14,789 --> 00:00:12,799
around the globe and the station trained

7
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:14,799
its eyes on one of the biggest ones yet

8
00:00:19,590 --> 00:00:17,760
in 2015. onboard cameras and the

9
00:00:22,150 --> 00:00:19,600
astronauts were able to capture these

10
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:22,160
views of super typhoon soutalore in the

11
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:24,160
northwestern pacific as it headed

12
00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:26,160
towards taiwan and china packing

13
00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:29,199
sustained winds as high as 160 miles per

14
00:00:34,389 --> 00:00:31,760
hour the station regularly captures

15
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:34,399
views of natural phenomena like typhoons

16
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:36,880
volcanoes and floods and sends those

17
00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:38,719
images to experts on the ground for

18
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:40,719
extra help with emergency planning and

19
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:42,160
response

20
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:43,840
in station science this week we're

21
00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:45,600
looking at a study aimed at protecting

22
00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:47,920
the hearts of astronauts both on and off

23
00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:48,879
the earth

24
00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:51,440
cardio ox uses an ultrasound along with

25
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:53,120
biomedical samples to look for

26
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:55,199
indicators of heart disease and whether

27
00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:56,960
those are elevated in astronauts

28
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:58,480
spending long durations living in

29
00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:00,960
microgravity this will be important for

30
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:02,960
keeping future explorers spending

31
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:05,280
extreme lengths of time living in zero-g

32
00:01:09,429 --> 00:01:07,119
safe but it could also improve our

33
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:09,439
understanding of cardiovascular disease

34
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:10,640
on the ground

35
00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:12,640
and just in case you missed it scott

36
00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:15,040
kelly did the first ever live tweet chat

37
00:01:18,789 --> 00:01:16,880
from space over the weekend

38
00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:18,799
kelly used some of his down time to

39
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:20,640
answer questions about the finer points

40
00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:22,880
of living in space for a whole year with

41
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:24,880
an extra special fan chiming in to ask

42
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:26,320
if he ever looked out the window and

43
00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:29,040
just freaked out that fan was president

44
00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:31,040
obama and kelly let him know that he

45
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:32,880
only freaks out when the president of

46
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:35,280
the united states tweets him be sure to

47
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:37,439
follow at station commander kelly on

48
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:39,200
twitter so you can keep up with scott's

49
00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:40,720
urine space too
