1
00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:09,190
science and star trek go hand in hand

2
00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:11,440
for 50 years star trek has inspired

3
00:00:15,589 --> 00:00:13,920
generations of scientists engineers and

4
00:00:16,870 --> 00:00:15,599
even astronauts to reach beyond their

5
00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:16,880
grasp to help create a future for

6
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:19,279
humanity with limitless potential let's

7
00:00:22,310 --> 00:00:20,880
take a look at some of star trek science

8
00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:22,320
fiction concepts that are now a little

9
00:00:39,190 --> 00:00:24,320
closer to being science fact thanks to

10
00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:41,670
warp drives phasers and transporters

11
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:43,120
might be what you picture when you think

12
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:45,200
of star trek but some of the show's

13
00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:46,640
other scientific concepts are actually

14
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:48,719
being researched and utilized aboard

15
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:50,640
humanities laboratory in the sky the

16
00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:52,960
international space station

17
00:01:00,069 --> 00:00:57,199
science laboratory in the unique

18
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:00,079
environment of microgravity it allows

19
00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:03,760
you to do research that's impossible to

20
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:06,159
do on the surface of earth and that is

21
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:08,240
going to allow us to make breakthroughs

22
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,400
in ways we've never done before so we

23
00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:12,400
can live better and create new

24
00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:13,920
technologies that we can bring back here

25
00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:16,240
on earth and the money spent out there

26
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:17,439
in space

27
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:19,600
is investing in our future

28
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:24,789
measuring the planet now captain

29
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:28,159
spheroid shaped atmosphere

30
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:30,240
oxygen nitrogen

31
00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:32,320
earth

32
00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:34,159
star trek they would scan the planet for

33
00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:36,159
life forms and the atmosphere for

34
00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:38,560
example all of those same things that

35
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:40,240
the enterprise would observe were able

36
00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:42,000
to observe from the space station we

37
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:44,799
have a variety of atmospheric sensors on

38
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:46,720
the space station and really looking at

39
00:01:50,149 --> 00:01:48,159
earth from up there

40
00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:50,159
it shows you a lot of things that you

41
00:01:54,389 --> 00:01:52,320
cannot see from from the ground we're

42
00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:54,399
learning more about the earth about how

43
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:56,719
clouds form about the winds and how

44
00:02:01,590 --> 00:01:58,880
those create hurricanes how our planet

45
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:01,600
behaves we can understand the potential

46
00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:03,360
implications of climate change looking

47
00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:05,600
at the atmosphere for signs of life

48
00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:08,560
population change human impact on earth

49
00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:10,560
and this is what space gives you a

50
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:12,560
perspective that you cannot have here on

51
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:13,440
earth

52
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:15,680
so we're moving to the point where yes

53
00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:18,000
you can say you know scan scan this

54
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:19,520
planet it's a little fancier on the

55
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:21,040
enterprise but the fundamentals are the

56
00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:28,710
we've got 14 science labs aboard this

57
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:31,280
ship the finest equipment and computers

58
00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:33,920
in the galaxy much like the enterprise

59
00:02:37,589 --> 00:02:35,519
the international space station is home

60
00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:37,599
to a state-of-the-art laboratory

61
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:39,519
space station is a unique place for

62
00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:42,480
doing biomedical research also working

63
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:44,400
in a weightless environment allows

64
00:02:49,830 --> 00:02:47,200
researchers to take gravity out of the

65
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:49,840
equation it opens up new research areas

66
00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:52,080
to scientists who have never studied

67
00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:54,000
this kind of phenomenon so we can get

68
00:02:57,990 --> 00:02:55,840
insights into those processes that we

69
00:03:00,149 --> 00:02:58,000
can't get back here on earth there's

70
00:03:01,589 --> 00:03:00,159
amazing things that are being discovered

71
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:01,599
it allows for the development of new

72
00:03:05,589 --> 00:03:03,440
medicines new treatments for various

73
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:05,599
diseases and really improving the

74
00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:12,229
gentlemen there is one thing which

75
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:14,159
requires the immediate attention of all

76
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:15,840
of us

77
00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:18,959
specifically our future

78
00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:21,840
star trek was really a big part of space

79
00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:24,159
exploration today because it's in all of

80
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:27,519
our souls we all share the curiosity

81
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:30,000
about what's beyond the horizon

82
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:33,680
people gravitated towards star trek and

83
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:36,400
found the inspiration there to go on and

84
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:38,959
become scientists and engineers and

85
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:41,440
and make their contributions so the

86
00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:44,239
youthful scientists at nasa are

87
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:49,120
conceiving things that the older people

88
00:03:53,509 --> 00:03:51,120
never thought of never occurred to them

89
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:53,519
we're making great discoveries and we're

90
00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:55,760
laying all that foundation for the dream

91
00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:57,920
that star trek really represents we want

92
00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:00,319
that to be true and so we're working

93
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:02,879
really hard to go make that happen

94
00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,720
research aboard the international space

95
00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:06,319
station is advancing knowledge of our

96
00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:08,000
bodies our home planet and our

97
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:09,920
understanding of the cosmos but we've

98
00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:11,920
only scratched the surface there's an

99
00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:13,360
entire universe of scientific

100
00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:15,280
discoveries to be made and with that
