00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:03,189
houston station on space to ground

2
00:00:06,550 --> 00:00:05,040
welcome to space to ground your weekly

3
00:00:08,310 --> 00:00:06,560
look at what's happening on board the

4
00:00:10,790 --> 00:00:08,320
international space station i'm dan

5
00:00:13,669 --> 00:00:10,800
hewitt traffic picked up in space this

6
00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:13,679
week with two cargo vehicles on the move

7
00:00:19,109 --> 00:00:16,560
first japan's htv-5 was released after

8
00:00:21,029 --> 00:00:19,119
delivering almost five tons of supplies

9
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:21,039
and spending five weeks attached to the

10
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:22,000
station

11
00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:23,920
one day after release it re-entered the

12
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:25,840
earth's atmosphere packed with trash and

13
00:00:29,349 --> 00:00:27,760
disposable items burning up over the

14
00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:29,359
pacific ocean

15
00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:31,599
then on october 1st a russian progress

16
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:34,079
cargo ship blasted off from kazakhstan

17
00:00:38,229 --> 00:00:36,079
arriving at the station just six hours

18
00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:38,239
later it's loaded up with more than

19
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:41,040
three tons of food fuel and hardware for

20
00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:43,840
the expedition 45 crew vehicle will stay

21
00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:46,239
docked until early december

22
00:00:51,029 --> 00:00:48,879
there's flowing water on mars and the

23
00:00:52,709 --> 00:00:51,039
station is testing the technology that

24
00:00:54,709 --> 00:00:52,719
could lead to driving rovers through

25
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:54,719
those martian streams

26
00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:56,960
this week astronaut camilla yui used a

27
00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:59,440
controller in space to command a rover

28
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:00,879
on the ground in germany for the

29
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:03,440
european meteoron experiment this

30
00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:05,280
capability could one day allow

31
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:07,200
astronauts in orbit around the red

32
00:01:11,910 --> 00:01:09,760
planet to control robotic explorers on

33
00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:11,920
the surface below cutting out the big

34
00:01:16,469 --> 00:01:13,920
time delay experience when commanding

35
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:16,479
from earth this technology could also be

36
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:18,960
helpful on earth for driving robots into

37
00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:22,080
environments too dangerous for humans

38
00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:23,840
this week we have a question for

39
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:25,920
astronaut chell lindgren and it comes

40
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:28,159
from actor mackenzie davis who plays

41
00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:30,000
flight controller mindy park in the

42
00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:31,119
martian

43
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:32,799
right now you're only a split second

44
00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:34,960
call away from people on earth how much

45
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:36,079
harder do you think it will be when

46
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:37,840
astronauts have to wait up to 40 minutes

47
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:39,680
for a response yeah i think it's going

48
00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:41,520
to be a little more difficult when you

49
00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:42,640
have to wait

50
00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:44,880
40 minutes for kind of uh

51
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:48,479
that return reply but i think that

52
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:50,560
you know humans are very adaptable and i

53
00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:51,360
think

54
00:01:56,789 --> 00:01:55,439
on that journey that uh an email or a

55
00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:56,799
voice message

56
00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:58,719
even though it takes 40 minutes is

57
00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:00,799
going to be treasured all the more

58
00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:02,000
because it still represents that

59
00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:03,680
communication

60
00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:05,600
that contact that connection with the

61
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:07,600
friends and family back on earth that's

62
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:09,520
it for this week keep sending us your
