1
00:00:10,390 --> 00:00:08,310
what did you do today

2
00:00:13,509 --> 00:00:10,400
i talked to

3
00:00:15,990 --> 00:00:13,519
tim cobra on the space station if

4
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:16,000
someone wants to be an astronaut when

5
00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:18,480
they grow up what should they be doing

6
00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:21,760
now as a kid to prepare over

7
00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:24,320
you know that is a great question

8
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:27,439
there are three things you can do one is

9
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:30,480
study and work really hard at school the

10
00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:32,800
second is set big goals for yourself

11
00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:34,480
because they'll motivate you and excite

12
00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:35,280
you

13
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:37,920
and the third thing is always play nice

14
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:44,310
how proud of your students were you i

15
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:46,640
was extremely proud because the students

16
00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:48,800
that i had they were extremely young so

17
00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:50,239
most of the kids here were in eighth

18
00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:52,879
grade michaela who asked the first

19
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:55,440
question was a third grader and rebecca

20
00:01:00,229 --> 00:00:58,800
was a fifth grader so it i was really

21
00:01:01,830 --> 00:01:00,239
amazed that they were able to hold their

22
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:01,840
own especially with all the people and

23
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:04,000
the cameras and the time pressure that

24
00:01:06,789 --> 00:01:05,760
they were under i was extremely proud of

25
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:06,799
them

26
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:08,960
a day they and you will remember forever

27
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:10,960
right oh absolutely this this is

28
00:01:14,469 --> 00:01:13,200
something that they've been talking

29
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:14,479
about i mean we've been preparing for it

30
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:16,720
for a long time uah has brought us in

31
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:18,960
twice to prep them and you know this is

32
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:20,400
how the space station works this is how

33
00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:21,680
the communication is going to go so

34
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:24,479
they've been extremely excited about it

35
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:25,680
i don't even know if they thought it was

36
00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:27,439
really real so

37
00:01:31,990 --> 00:01:29,200
the fact that it happened was amazing

38
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:32,000
and i'm just so glad that they as these

39
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:34,000
little kids get to have this experience

40
00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:36,240
that's going to follow them forever how

41
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:37,280
many times did you practice your

42
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:40,320
question to yourself uh maybe 100 times

43
00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:42,960
just in my head silently and then a few

44
00:01:47,109 --> 00:01:45,360
times out loud what was your question my

45
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:47,119
name is david and my question is what

46
00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:48,960
everyday task on earth is the hardest in

47
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:51,200
space over

48
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:53,280
you know the hardest thing about living

49
00:01:57,749 --> 00:01:55,759
in space is different than 0g is

50
00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:57,759
everything floats right so you can't put

51
00:02:01,510 --> 00:01:59,360
something on a table and expect it to

52
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:01,520
come back should be very meticulous in

53
00:02:06,149 --> 00:02:03,600
terms of how you take care of all your

54
00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:06,159
things over were you surprised by his

55
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:07,840
answers or was it pretty much what you

56
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:09,520
thought he would say it was what i was

57
00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:10,959
expecting you know because when you're

58
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:12,480
in space so many different things you

59
00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:14,080
know it's very different from earth i

60
00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:16,400
was the one asked what

61
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:18,480
what is your sleep schedule

62
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:20,560
and what did he say

63
00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:22,480
the same as ours

64
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:24,480
yeah it was really cool i don't know if

65
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:26,239
anybody noticed but i was like smiling

66
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:27,280
the whole time when they actually

67
00:02:34,309 --> 00:02:29,760
started talking my name is lauren what

68
00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:34,319
do astronauts do for fun on the iss over

69
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:36,959
we know for fun here on iss i think all

70
00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:39,440
of us love to take photographs because

71
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:41,200
we have the earth to take pictures of

72
00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:43,760
and it's an amazing amazing thing to

73
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:46,239
photograph but also we have an internet

74
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:48,239
protocol telephone to call family and

75
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:50,400
friends and we can watch movies on our

76
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:52,800
ipad over i saw a big grin on your face

77
00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:54,560
what was the actual feeling when your

78
00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:56,959
students got up and asked questions

79
00:03:01,990 --> 00:02:59,760
i was proud very proud to see them be

80
00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:02,000
able to do something

81
00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:04,560
that most people can't do or wouldn't be

82
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:05,920
able to do

83
00:03:11,509 --> 00:03:09,200
really really

84
00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:11,519
just a very proud moment very proud

85
00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:13,200
i would encourage more schools to try to

86
00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:15,360
get involved with these things any

87
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:17,360
activities that you can do that take it

88
00:03:20,309 --> 00:03:18,560
out of just

89
00:03:22,229 --> 00:03:20,319
rote learning in the text and give kids

90
00:03:23,910 --> 00:03:22,239
a real and relevant experience they're

91
00:03:26,149 --> 00:03:23,920
more likely to remember those things and

92
00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:26,159
you may spark an interest in them that

93
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:28,319
could drive them to become the next

94
00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:30,239
astronaut or the next great engineer

95
00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:31,920
anything of that nature what did you ask

96
00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:32,560
him

97
00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:34,879
uh did you put any ranch on that lettuce

98
00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:36,879
grown in space

99
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:38,720
and what did he say you know i hate to

100
00:03:43,270 --> 00:03:41,440
disappoint you but i got here after the

101
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:43,280
lettuce but if i had been here with the

102
00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:44,879
lettuce i would have made sure to break

103
00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:46,879
some ranch dressing over so did you

104
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:48,400
learn a lot about the the veggie

105
00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:49,360
experiment is that why you were

106
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:51,280
interested in it yes and also i was

107
00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:53,280
feeling very hungry that day

108
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:56,239
no breakfast no lunch no nothing uh-oh

109
00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:57,760
you better go eat tell us about the

110
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:00,560
preparation before today and getting

111
00:04:04,949 --> 00:04:03,120
here to to be able to be ready to speak

112
00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:04,959
to a crew member on the iss

113
00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:07,680
well the club came to our school and

114
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:10,000
they prepared us and they um asked us

115
00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:11,840
questions and we wrote the questions on

116
00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:14,560
note cards and they chose us from asking

117
00:04:18,150 --> 00:04:16,239
the questions on the note cards

118
00:04:20,069 --> 00:04:18,160
and me and my friends were chosen to do

119
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:20,079
this was it hard to adjust to zero

120
00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:22,639
gravity over

121
00:04:27,189 --> 00:04:24,800
you know the first time was a little bit

122
00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:27,199
more difficult but the second time it

123
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:29,199
was not that difficult to adjust to show

124
00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:31,600
gravity i just have to learn how to be

125
00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:33,360
more graceful over time and after two

126
00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:35,520
months i think i'm almost there over

127
00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:37,600
tell us about the experience um it was

128
00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:39,120
pretty fun overall because it's mostly a

129
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:40,720
once in a lifetime thing unless you do

130
00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:42,960
this for a job for a living

131
00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:44,720
and it was pretty fun because

132
00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:46,240
i mean it was mostly nerve-wracking at

133
00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:47,919
the beginning but like the second time i

134
00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:49,919
went around it was pretty easy the iss

135
00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:51,199
is flying over and your students are

136
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:52,800
getting to talk to them and i have so

137
00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:55,600
many chill bumps i can't imagine doing

138
00:05:00,310 --> 00:04:58,160
this as a student as an adult i'm so

139
00:05:03,189 --> 00:05:00,320
excited and i know my students are but

140
00:05:05,909 --> 00:05:03,199
just having the opportunity to come and

141
00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:05,919
talk to somebody on the space station

142
00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:08,560
and then you know have that experience

143
00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:10,479
and know what

144
00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:12,479
the career that they have and some of

145
00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:14,160
those things that are required for those

146
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:16,240
careers that's what our students are

147
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:18,720
learning and it is the most wonderful

148
00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:20,800
opportunity for them it is tremendous

149
00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:23,199
opportunity for them to see what they're

150
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:24,880
learning in the classroom with science

151
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:27,600
and math and then how that applies to

152
00:05:30,469 --> 00:05:28,720
real world

153
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:30,479
as a stem teacher i'm sure you want to

154
00:05:34,469 --> 00:05:32,000
see all of your students doing something

155
00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:34,479
like this one day i do and i just i have

156
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:36,479
told all of them that have been coming

157
00:05:42,469 --> 00:05:37,440
to this

158
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:42,479
them either doing mission planning or
