episode and i'm not the expert we are

27
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:16,640
talking to the expert in space today

28
00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:18,960
it's super exciting and again just wrap

29
00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:21,119
your mind about around that we're about

30
00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:23,600
to talk to somebody in outer space

31
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:25,600
yeah how cool is that this is crazy i

32
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:26,880
mean we're looking at him right now

33
00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:29,040
getting set up this is crazy i mean for

34
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:30,880
me this personally this is my very first

35
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:33,040
time talking to somebody in space that's

36
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:35,439
right gary's newer here so he hasn't had

37
00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:37,200
the privilege i've been here a little

38
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:39,119
bit longer and i've done it maybe once

39
00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:40,479
or twice still but it's still it's

40
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:41,920
really exciting it makes you a little

41
00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:43,200
bit nervous

42
00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:45,680
but it's really cool to live in a time

43
00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:47,759
where we have the capabilities to talk

44
00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:49,840
to somebody who's in outer space we're

45
00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:52,399
flying around us right at 17 000 miles

46
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:53,680
an hour i mean

47
00:01:57,749 --> 00:01:55,759
one of the coolest examples i can think

48
00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:57,759
of that happening and it shows you just

49
00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:59,680
how far we've come i mean it used to be

50
00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:01,759
you needed satellite dishes and

51
00:02:05,429 --> 00:02:03,920
technology and that weighed millions of

52
00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:05,439
pounds all these things just to talk to

53
00:02:09,270 --> 00:02:06,960
somebody you know a few hundred miles

54
00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:09,280
away and now you can talk to somebody in

55
00:02:12,949 --> 00:02:10,720
space in a cell phone that actually

56
00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:12,959
happened to us once we were over in

57
00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:15,200
kazakhstan and we had just watched one

58
00:02:18,949 --> 00:02:16,400
of the crews launched to the

59
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:18,959
international space station and it had

60
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:20,400
been a couple of hours so they were

61
00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:22,319
almost docked and we were heading to an

62
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:25,599
old theater in baikonur to go watch the

63
00:02:29,830 --> 00:02:27,680
actual docking and the crew members get

64
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:29,840
there and one of my colleagues phones

65
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:31,120
rang

66
00:02:33,990 --> 00:02:32,319
and he answered it and you could just

67
00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:34,000
see his face light up

68
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:35,360
and he it was just a real short

69
00:02:38,949 --> 00:02:37,200
conversation oh yeah no that sounds

70
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:38,959
great sounds cool yeah we'll definitely

71
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:41,280
use that that was it he hung up and he

72
00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:42,720
said that was the commander of the

73
00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:44,400
international space station he just

74
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:45,920
called me on my cell phone to tell me

75
00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:47,760
how he was setting up a camera to watch

76
00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:50,239
the crew members come on board so i mean

77
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:52,480
just that like blew my mind because we

78
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:53,920
were just in this remote part of the

79
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:55,760
planet and you can get a phone call from

80
00:02:59,589 --> 00:02:57,760
somebody in space like it's just so

81
00:03:01,509 --> 00:02:59,599
incredible that we're living in this

82
00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:01,519
time and we're about to talk to somebody

83
00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:02,959
in space and if you can't tell i'm

84
00:03:06,869 --> 00:03:04,400
really excited

85
00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:06,879
and i know gary is too yeah very very

86
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:08,159
true it's just crazy you could pick up a

87
00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:10,560
box and then literally it is it is space

88
00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:12,239
calling i've heard stories of all you

89
00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:14,239
know astronauts calling pizza joints and

90
00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:15,920
ordering pizza for a colleague whose

91
00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:17,680
birthday it was or something like that

92
00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:19,360
it's just that's it's the most insane

93
00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:21,440
thing to think about but okay so today

94
00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:23,440
we're talking with somebody in space

95
00:03:27,190 --> 00:03:24,879
jack fisher let's talk a little bit

96
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:27,200
about him who is this guy so jack fisher

97
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:28,720
is one of the flight engineers for

98
00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,200
expedition 52 he's been on board the

99
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:33,519
international space station since april

100
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:34,720
when he launched with the russian

101
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:37,360
cosmonaut fyodor yurchikhin jack is one

102
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:39,360
of the relatively newer astronauts in

103
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:42,000
the core he was selected back in 2009

104
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:43,840
and this is his first space flight so

105
00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:46,000
this is his first time in space and he's

106
00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:48,080
been up there for a couple of months now

107
00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:50,319
he's got a stem background like all of

108
00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:52,000
the astronauts do degrees in

109
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:54,080
aeronautical engineering and aeronautics

110
00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:56,080
and astronautics a lot of a words in

111
00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:58,640
there and he went to mit so he's got a

112
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:00,720
pretty nice resume to make him an

113
00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:01,920
astronaut

114
00:04:05,830 --> 00:04:03,360
but he was also in the air force he's an

115
00:04:08,229 --> 00:04:05,840
air force colonel with 3 000 flight

116
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:08,239
hours more than 45 different aircraft

117
00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:09,840
and he worked in a whole bunch of

118
00:04:14,149 --> 00:04:12,319
different jobs before he ever flew into

119
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:14,159
space and all the astronauts do that

120
00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:15,040
they

121
00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:19,199
technical programs here at nasa jack was

122
00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:21,359
a capcom so he was one of the people who

123
00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:23,120
actually talks to astronauts every

124
00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:25,120
single day oh wow so you know for people

125
00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:26,639
like them talking to somebody in space

126
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:28,240
it's their job it's kind of you know

127
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:30,320
it's old hat for us it's super unique

128
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:31,280
but

129
00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:32,960
he's done all those things and now he's

130
00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:34,720
been on board for the last couple of

131
00:04:39,670 --> 00:04:36,560
months and he's been doing everything

132
00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:39,680
from spacewalking to science to

133
00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:41,680
capturing visiting spacecraft kind of

134
00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:44,320
the whole gamut of stuff unbelievable

135
00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:47,040
okay so he's he's you know now he's got

136
00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:48,880
that experience right he's got not only

137
00:04:53,189 --> 00:04:51,199
the the flight time just in planes but

138
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:53,199
now he's got flight time you know

139
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:55,680
traveling 250 miles above the earth

140
00:05:01,510 --> 00:04:58,800
really really fast so uh he's got so how

141
00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:01,520
were his uh spacewalks what's that

142
00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:04,560
yeah so he did two spacewalks and every

143
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:06,880
astronaut will tell you that spacewalks

144
00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:08,240
are one of the most unique one of the

145
00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:10,080
most dynamic things they get to do it's

146
00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:11,520
kind of one of the coolest things about

147
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:14,320
being in space a lot of times and he did

148
00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:16,960
two back in may one they just replaced a

149
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:18,479
component on the outside and the other

150
00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:20,160
one was something we called an unplanned

151
00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:22,560
spacewalk where something broke and they

152
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:24,960
had to go outside and replace it and so

153
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:26,720
he did both of those with peggy whitson

154
00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:28,080
who's been up there with him the whole

155
00:05:33,510 --> 00:05:30,720
time he affectionately refers to her as

156
00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:33,520
the space ninja she is the all-time

157
00:05:37,189 --> 00:05:35,360
record holder for american astronauts

158
00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:37,199
for time and space so definitely a good

159
00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:39,120
person to have up there with you before

160
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:41,280

00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:43,680
awesome well okay so we are going to be

162
00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:45,919

163
00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:48,000
few minutes if you are tuning in on

164
00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:49,840

00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:51,680
the questions right here and going to

166
00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:53,680

168
00:05:59,430 --> 00:05:57,840
get started here so we have a couple

169
00:06:01,670 --> 00:05:59,440
coming in already we have folks checking

170
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:01,680
in from all over the world i see some

171
00:06:05,749 --> 00:06:04,240
from italy i see some from obviously

172
00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:05,759
here in the states so

173
00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:08,240
everyone welcome i did see one question

174
00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:10,160
actually before we even started this one

175
00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:12,400
this one is from kelly and she said her

176
00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:14,240
five-year-old was asking if some of the

177
00:06:18,790 --> 00:06:16,240
astronauts watch movies on the

178
00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,800
international they do they do we do like

179
00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:20,639
to equip them with some of the the kind

180
00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:22,720
of creature comforts of being back here

181
00:06:26,469 --> 00:06:24,720
at home cool and one thing they have up

182
00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:26,479
there is they actually have a very small

183
00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:28,160
projector and then a large screen i

184
00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:30,319
think it's about 40 inches or so and

185
00:06:33,510 --> 00:06:31,520
they'll have movie nights and we

186
00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:33,520
actually we do have a picture

187
00:06:38,309 --> 00:06:36,000
and this is all six crew members they

188
00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:38,319
use bungee cords to kind of make little

189
00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:40,080
lean-to hammocks and even breaking out

190
00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:42,720
their sleeping bags to get to gather

191
00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:44,960
together and watch movies in space

192
00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:46,720
a lot of them will tell you they like to

193
00:06:50,230 --> 00:06:48,560
watch a lot of space movies just because

194
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:50,240
i mean they're up there they're living

195
00:06:52,629 --> 00:06:51,280
it but

196
00:06:55,029 --> 00:06:52,639
it's just one of those things that kind

197
00:06:56,550 --> 00:06:55,039
of makes living in space a little bit

198
00:06:57,990 --> 00:06:56,560
more like being back here at home

199
00:06:59,990 --> 00:06:58,000
because i mean you're in a really

200
00:07:02,070 --> 00:07:00,000
strange place it's true you're

201
00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:02,080
completely isolated from so from

202
00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:04,479
everybody except for the two or five

203
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:07,039
people with you so having things like

204
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,800
movies can make that time a lot easier

205
00:07:12,070 --> 00:07:10,400
and it seems like camaraderie has got to

206
00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:12,080
be one of the more important aspects of

207
00:07:14,870 --> 00:07:13,520
living in space too just getting along

208
00:07:16,390 --> 00:07:14,880
with your crewmates and doing stuff

209
00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:16,400
together i know i guess they watch

210
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:17,759
movies together as we just saw in that

211
00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:19,199
picture but i know they eat meals

212
00:07:24,469 --> 00:07:22,080
together too oh yeah they do and

213
00:07:26,469 --> 00:07:24,479
they're together for years before they

214
00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:26,479
ever fly they'll usually be with the

215
00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:28,240
you'll be with the same people pretty

216
00:07:32,710 --> 00:07:30,800
much throughout all of your work time

217
00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:32,720
for two years before you ever fly in

218
00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:34,240
space with them so they know each other

219
00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:36,160
very well before they fly meals are

220
00:07:39,189 --> 00:07:37,520
definitely one of those so it's an

221
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:39,199
international space stations there's a

222
00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:41,440
lot of international foods so they like

223
00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:42,960
to come together and share little

224
00:07:46,869 --> 00:07:45,199
creations the food's not quite as

225
00:07:48,710 --> 00:07:46,879
gourmet as it might be down here on

226
00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:48,720
earth but they do have a couple of ways

227
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:50,720
to make it a little bit more interesting

228
00:07:56,629 --> 00:07:51,440
and

229
00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:56,639
because your taste actually changes when

230
00:08:00,629 --> 00:07:58,400
you're in space and that's due to all

231
00:08:03,909 --> 00:08:00,639
the fluids rushing up and a whole bunch

232
00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:03,919
of crazy things happen but wow yeah

233
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:05,680
yeah all right well if you have any more

234
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:07,120
questions for jack just put him in the

235
00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:08,800
comment section we'll kind of uh follow

236
00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:11,199
along and even he's he's getting set up

237
00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:12,720
here right now but once we start uh

238
00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:14,080
connect with him in just a few minutes

239
00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:16,080
here uh we'll read those questions up to

240
00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:17,919
him um but

241
00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:19,680
personally for me i mean besides just

242
00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:21,599
you reading his bio this is the first

243
00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:23,840
time i've met jack i'm the first time

244
00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:25,680
i'm actually gonna be talking to him so

245
00:08:28,390 --> 00:08:26,560
jack

246
00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:28,400
highly recommend following him on social

247
00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:30,720
media he's brought just an incredible

248
00:08:34,310 --> 00:08:32,640
amount of excitement to everything that

249
00:08:35,909 --> 00:08:34,320
he's been doing again he's a first timer

250
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:35,919
so he's been experiencing all this for

251
00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:37,440
the first time and sharing it with

252
00:08:40,949 --> 00:08:39,680
people as he did i actually got to meet

253
00:08:43,269 --> 00:08:40,959
jack

254
00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:43,279
three years three years ago we were both

255
00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:46,000
down in florida for orion's first space

256
00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:48,000
flight eft one it was first time we put

257
00:08:52,790 --> 00:08:50,320
orion or next generation spacecraft into

258
00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:52,800
outer space and he was basically

259
00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:55,440
assigned to be our voice

260
00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:56,399
and our

261
00:09:00,230 --> 00:08:58,240
for the entire agency so we went around

262
00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:00,240
talking to media all of these different

263
00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:02,560
people to tell them about orion and

264
00:09:06,389 --> 00:09:04,240
again he just brings like this level of

265
00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:06,399
enthusiasm he's got a great sense of

266
00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:08,560
humor he's incredibly knowledgeable so

267
00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:10,240

on the planet so i'm gonna start off

305
00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:40,880
this conversation by asking something

306
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:42,720
that i literally cannot ask anyone else

just because you know it is your first

310
00:10:58,069 --> 00:10:56,320
guest from space

311
00:11:00,069 --> 00:10:58,079
every single question

312
00:11:02,230 --> 00:11:00,079
i'm gonna go on a different you know

313
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:02,240
wall so i'll be on the walls i'll be on

314
00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:03,440
the ceiling

315
00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:06,160
i'm gonna i'm gonna adjust orientation

316
00:11:11,509 --> 00:11:08,640
mid interview at every question just

317
00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:11,519
because i can and it's cool

318
00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:13,279
i love it okay

319
00:11:16,870 --> 00:11:15,600
awesome so so you're used to space now

320
00:11:18,949 --> 00:11:16,880
you've been up there for what is it

321
00:11:21,350 --> 00:11:18,959
almost four months so i mean when you're

322
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:21,360
gonna be switching from wall to wall do

323
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:23,360
you sort of get disoriented or is your

324
00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:29,269
man it kind of figured it out pretty

325
00:11:32,949 --> 00:11:30,640
quick and you know that's what's so

326
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:32,959
awesome about the human brain we come up

327
00:11:38,310 --> 00:11:35,760
here in a completely foreign environment

328
00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:38,320
and the brain's just like man all this

329
00:11:42,310 --> 00:11:40,480
vestibular all these things that i

330
00:11:45,509 --> 00:11:42,320
normally use to figure out which way is

331
00:11:47,350 --> 00:11:45,519
up and to orient this body for this dude

332
00:11:49,829 --> 00:11:47,360
doesn't work so i have to find a

333
00:11:52,389 --> 00:11:49,839
different way and it forces your your

334
00:11:54,389 --> 00:11:52,399
mind and your body to grow and to look

335
00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:54,399
at things differently so you start

336
00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:55,360
looking

337
00:12:01,509 --> 00:11:57,680
three-dimensionally at everything around

338
00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:01,519
you and and it's amazing how quickly

339
00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:04,160
your body can adapt and just get used to

340
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:04,880
it

341
00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:06,320
all right that was question one i got to

342
00:12:09,910 --> 00:12:08,000
switch now

343
00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:09,920
all right well why you do that i mean

344
00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:12,000
that just kind of leads into

345
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:13,760
what is difficult to get used to when

346
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:15,440
you get up there because i mean it's a

347
00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:17,760
completely alien environment from what

348
00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:19,839
we grow up and you spend your entire

349
00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:27,430
absolutely and you know it it totally

350
00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:30,560
depends on the person and we can't

351
00:12:35,190 --> 00:12:33,040
really predict uh even depending on your

352
00:12:36,230 --> 00:12:35,200
background i i come from a test pilot

353
00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:36,240
background

354
00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:38,079
and you know can do things in an

355
00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:39,839
airplane that would make a billy goat

356
00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:41,200
puke but

357
00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:42,800
that doesn't mean that when i get up

358
00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:45,040
here i'm going to be

359
00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:47,360
any better than a

360
00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:49,600
a scientist who's never been in a plane

361
00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:52,240
um it's it's not a good predictor i was

362
00:12:58,150 --> 00:12:54,480
lucky and when i got up here i didn't

363
00:13:00,870 --> 00:12:58,160
have congestion or or upset stomach or

364
00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:00,880
you know any of those those big problems

365
00:13:06,949 --> 00:13:04,160
that some people deal with but everybody

366
00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:06,959
has to learn how to fly and

367
00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:09,680
so as a test pilot i was probably worse

368
00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:11,440
than most because

369
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:13,920
you know most people find a way to you

370
00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:16,639
know translate and fly from point to

371
00:13:19,829 --> 00:13:18,720
point and and just be happy with it but

372
00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:19,839
for me

373
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:22,240
every day i got to try something new so

374
00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:23,680
i would

375
00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:26,399
really suck at it and run into stuff and

376
00:13:30,389 --> 00:13:27,680
hit myself

377
00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:30,399
into things and and that wasn't good but

378
00:13:33,829 --> 00:13:32,000
then i'd get better

379
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:33,839
and then i try something more or i try

380
00:13:40,470 --> 00:13:36,720
going faster and it was like this cycle

381
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:40,480
so now i i'm doing pretty good but uh it

382
00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:43,040
was it was a long and bumpy road and and

383
00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:44,480
don't ask peggy how many things that

384
00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:46,560
knocked off the wall

385
00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:48,959
oh i mean we talked a little bit earlier

386
00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:50,560
so you got peggy whitson up there the

387
00:13:54,069 --> 00:13:53,120
space ninja as you like to call her i

388
00:13:55,590 --> 00:13:54,079
mean

389
00:13:56,949 --> 00:13:55,600
are there any crazy moves that you've

390
00:14:02,230 --> 00:13:56,959
broken out that she's looked at you and

391
00:14:06,870 --> 00:14:05,110
my gosh so many times she has a patented

392
00:14:10,389 --> 00:14:06,880
look it's the

393
00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:10,399
two fish you are crazy look and i've i i

394
00:14:14,629 --> 00:14:12,240
pretty much got that down when i get the

395
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:14,639
peggy wits and to fish your crazy look

396
00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:16,720
then i know okay

397
00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:19,760
that one that one i gotta stop

398
00:14:23,910 --> 00:14:22,320
so i mean what have you learned i mean

399
00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:23,920
now you've been in space with peggy

400
00:14:27,509 --> 00:14:25,519
whitson for this long what have you

401
00:14:29,509 --> 00:14:27,519
learned from her that you sort of uh

402
00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:29,519
take with you and then you know i guess

403
00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:31,360
kind of off of that what have you

404
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:33,600
learned that uh really sort of annoys

405
00:14:43,910 --> 00:14:41,110
well

406
00:14:45,829 --> 00:14:43,920
we we we're like two peas in a pod we we

407
00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:45,839
give each other a hard time all the time

408
00:14:51,670 --> 00:14:48,560
so uh we tease each other a bunch we

409
00:14:53,829 --> 00:14:51,680
have a good time but i'm very

410
00:14:56,790 --> 00:14:53,839
i i just can't even say how lucky i am

411
00:14:58,870 --> 00:14:56,800
to have been on orbit with not only

412
00:15:01,350 --> 00:14:58,880
peggy but also fiona yurchikhin my

413
00:15:02,629 --> 00:15:01,360
commander and and and friend in the in

414
00:15:05,189 --> 00:15:02,639
the soyuz and the commander of the

415
00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:05,199
station now those two have so much

416
00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:07,680
experience that i learn

417
00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:10,079
everything from them they you know not

418
00:15:13,750 --> 00:15:10,880
just

419
00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:13,760
the big stuff of how to organize your

420
00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:15,600
day and how to be efficient and those

421
00:15:20,389 --> 00:15:18,000
type of things but even the little stuff

422
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:20,399
and i i every time they're around my

423
00:15:26,389 --> 00:15:23,920
eyes are wide open you know how is peggy

424
00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:26,399
cutting her food packet because it's

425
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:28,720
probably the best way because she's done

426
00:15:32,949 --> 00:15:31,040
it quite a few times so

427
00:15:35,829 --> 00:15:32,959
you know how is fyodor holding his

428
00:15:38,150 --> 00:15:35,839
camera what what settings is he using

429
00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:38,160
for this task it it's

430
00:15:42,949 --> 00:15:41,040
to just watch them and just soak that in

431
00:15:45,189 --> 00:15:42,959
gosh i am so lucky to have been up here

432
00:15:48,550 --> 00:15:45,199
with these two and just

433
00:15:50,470 --> 00:15:48,560
soak in all their goodness and knowledge

434
00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:50,480
and you you've been working side by side

435
00:15:53,670 --> 00:15:52,240
with them for the last couple of months

436
00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:53,680
just walk us through real quick what's

437
00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:55,120
just you know some of the stuff you're

438
00:15:58,949 --> 00:15:56,720
doing up there because it's a lot more

439
00:16:00,870 --> 00:15:58,959
than just flying and stuff like that

440
00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:00,880
you're doing you know serious experiment

441
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:07,110
oh absolutely the the space station is

442
00:16:10,629 --> 00:16:09,360
just the most amazing world-class

443
00:16:13,269 --> 00:16:10,639
laboratory

444
00:16:15,590 --> 00:16:13,279
floating around doing science all day

445
00:16:17,749 --> 00:16:15,600
every day we're doing science inside

446
00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:17,759
we're doing science outside let me turn

447
00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:23,030
i gotta we're getting an echo so i don't

448
00:16:26,069 --> 00:16:25,360
want you to hear me twice that's way too

449
00:16:29,350 --> 00:16:26,079
much

450
00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:29,360
so the the space station for example

451
00:16:35,509 --> 00:16:32,320
when spacex 11 came up it had six tons

452
00:16:37,749 --> 00:16:35,519
of science mostly science on board that

453
00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:37,759
then we had to bring on board

454
00:16:42,230 --> 00:16:39,759
knock out that science get it back on

455
00:16:45,110 --> 00:16:42,240
the spacex and back to earth that's the

456
00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:45,120
job of this place is just rocking the

457
00:16:48,949 --> 00:16:46,320
science

458
00:16:52,150 --> 00:16:48,959
we're doing not only stuff for human

459
00:16:54,230 --> 00:16:52,160
health and and those type of sciences uh

460
00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:54,240
there was a great experiment that uh

461
00:16:59,430 --> 00:16:56,639
peggy was working on the other day with

462
00:17:01,350 --> 00:16:59,440
a new drug that actually finds targets

463
00:17:02,790 --> 00:17:01,360
uh cancer cells we're growing lung

464
00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:02,800
cancer tissue

465
00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:05,760
and it was doing some great work against

466
00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:08,400
the cancer how cool would that be if we

467
00:17:12,789 --> 00:17:10,720
could crack the code of that horrible

468
00:17:15,590 --> 00:17:12,799
disease that you know even my daughter

469
00:17:18,230 --> 00:17:15,600
uh phil pray to so

470
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:18,240
not just those we're we're looking at

471
00:17:24,630 --> 00:17:21,760
just 10 feet from me is a machine called

472
00:17:26,870 --> 00:17:24,640
the elf that's looking at new ways to

473
00:17:28,069 --> 00:17:26,880
create alloys that are lighter that are

474
00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:28,079
stronger

475
00:17:34,070 --> 00:17:30,320
i mean this whole place every square

476
00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:34,080
inch is dedicated to either pure science

477
00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:35,760
or the systems

478
00:17:39,110 --> 00:17:37,600
that are going to keep us

479
00:17:41,669 --> 00:17:39,120
and those science

480
00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:41,679
experiments cranking away and getting

481
00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:44,559
great results back to earth to to help

482
00:17:49,830 --> 00:17:47,440
humanity to make humanity better and to

483
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:49,840
enable us to explore and go further into

484
00:17:53,909 --> 00:17:51,520
the universe

485
00:17:55,830 --> 00:17:53,919
that sounds incredible um i'm sure i

486
00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:55,840
mean besides all the science you have a

487
00:17:59,430 --> 00:17:58,080
lot of uh i guess i don't know about a

488
00:18:00,870 --> 00:17:59,440
lot of chances but you do have the

489
00:18:03,430 --> 00:18:00,880
chance to sort of look out the window

490
00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:03,440
and see the earth go by so we do have a

491
00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:06,160
facebook question from uh with sal how

492
00:18:09,430 --> 00:18:08,080
do we look from orbit i don't know if

493
00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:09,440
you're whenever you're taking pictures

494
00:18:12,789 --> 00:18:10,559
of the earth i don't know if you can

495
00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:12,799
zoom down and actually get so close that

496
00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:14,400
you can start to see people

497
00:18:23,350 --> 00:18:20,870
well we're pretty far up if we had a

498
00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:23,360
bigger uh you know lens we could

499
00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:25,280
probably see it but the bigger the lens

500
00:18:29,270 --> 00:18:27,280
the smoother you have to be

501
00:18:30,950 --> 00:18:29,280
fyodor could probably do it i can't do

502
00:18:32,789 --> 00:18:30,960
it so the biggest

503
00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:32,799
that i've been using is an 800

504
00:18:40,390 --> 00:18:36,080
millimeter lens and we can get about two

505
00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:40,400
houses and see houses so that's about as

506
00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:43,200
fine detail is what we can see so we're

507
00:18:46,450 --> 00:18:44,960
not looking in your window and and

508
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:46,460
spying on you i promise

509
00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:47,840
[Laughter]

510
00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:49,440
well that's good to know but i'm sure i

511
00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:51,280
mean you see you're traveling so fast

512
00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:53,520
around the earth you get to see so much

513
00:18:57,590 --> 00:18:55,760
of it is there any sort of places on

514
00:18:59,990 --> 00:18:57,600
earth that really stand out to you that

515
00:19:01,669 --> 00:19:00,000
you really like to either gaze at or

516
00:19:06,390 --> 00:19:01,679
kind of take pictures of because you see

517
00:19:09,669 --> 00:19:08,630
you bet there are places that you know

518
00:19:12,070 --> 00:19:09,679
kind of

519
00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:12,080
blew me away for sure the first time i

520
00:19:17,029 --> 00:19:14,320
saw him the bahamas are just the blue is

521
00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:17,039
just ridiculous i don't even know

522
00:19:22,310 --> 00:19:19,679
it it's hard to believe it's real uh one

523
00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:22,320
of fyodor's favorite places is kamchatka

524
00:19:26,789 --> 00:19:24,880
which is kind of a little flange off the

525
00:19:29,029 --> 00:19:26,799
top end of russian there's all these

526
00:19:30,549 --> 00:19:29,039
great volcanoes that are just incredible

527
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:30,559
looking

528
00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:33,600
so there's a lot of places that are

529
00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:35,760
wonderful but what i've

530
00:19:40,230 --> 00:19:37,600
really tried to do and it's probably why

531
00:19:43,029 --> 00:19:40,240
i don't have pictures of specific places

532
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:43,039
like my hometown in colorado lewisville

533
00:19:48,549 --> 00:19:43,760
or

534
00:19:49,909 --> 00:19:48,559
i kind of go to the window and let god

535
00:19:52,470 --> 00:19:49,919
show me what

536
00:19:54,630 --> 00:19:52,480
show me the tour and i've never been

537
00:19:57,190 --> 00:19:54,640
disappointed um

538
00:19:59,110 --> 00:19:57,200
you could be flying over the sahara and

539
00:20:01,990 --> 00:19:59,120
you'll see these

540
00:20:05,190 --> 00:20:02,000
bright reds and you know a mountain

541
00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:05,200
right next to sand or a sandstorm and

542
00:20:09,029 --> 00:20:07,280
then you'll be in the himalayas and

543
00:20:10,789 --> 00:20:09,039
you'll see these incredible mountains

544
00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:10,799
every time i look out the window i'm

545
00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:13,280
just in odd how beautiful the earth is

546
00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:14,240
so

547
00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:16,559
my favorite place

548
00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:18,080
earth

549
00:20:23,350 --> 00:20:21,440
oh good answer all right well

550
00:20:24,630 --> 00:20:23,360
your your acrobatics are making a lot of

551
00:20:26,149 --> 00:20:24,640
people jealous and we're actually

552
00:20:27,990 --> 00:20:26,159
getting a lot of questions about how to

553
00:20:30,390 --> 00:20:28,000
become an astronaut so i want to switch

554
00:20:31,750 --> 00:20:30,400
gears real quick so we've had a lot of

555
00:20:34,230 --> 00:20:31,760
news a lot of stuff out there we just

556
00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:34,240
hired a new group of astronauts or new

557
00:20:37,590 --> 00:20:35,520
astronaut candidates that are going to

558
00:20:39,110 --> 00:20:37,600
be reporting soon and one of my favorite

559
00:20:40,789 --> 00:20:39,120
things to talk to them about was when

560
00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:40,799
they got the call when they got the call

561
00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:41,760
that they were going to come be an

562
00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:43,520
astronaut but i don't know if you

563
00:20:47,350 --> 00:20:45,600
remember but i was actually with you

564
00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:47,360
shortly after you got the call that you

565
00:20:51,430 --> 00:20:49,120
were got you had gotten assigned to a

566
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:51,440
mission so i have to ask which one was

567
00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:53,280
more exciting you're going to be an

568
00:20:59,270 --> 00:20:55,520
astronaut or hey it's time to go fly in

569
00:21:03,510 --> 00:21:01,830
boy that's tough probably that you're

570
00:21:04,950 --> 00:21:03,520
going to be an astronaut

571
00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:04,960
um

572
00:21:10,950 --> 00:21:07,120
not not because you take it for granted

573
00:21:12,549 --> 00:21:10,960
that you'll fly but it's just

574
00:21:14,070 --> 00:21:12,559
once you're an astronaut

575
00:21:15,430 --> 00:21:14,080
you got a real good chance that you're

576
00:21:17,830 --> 00:21:15,440
going to fly

577
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:17,840
um before that and to become an

578
00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:20,080
astronaut you know when people ask

579
00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:22,240
how do you become an astronaut well

580
00:21:25,830 --> 00:21:24,080
i'll give you the advice that that my

581
00:21:28,149 --> 00:21:25,840
dad gave me you know

582
00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:28,159
dare to dream so

583
00:21:34,230 --> 00:21:31,200
only you can define your own dream to

584
00:21:37,190 --> 00:21:34,240
find your passion the thing that really

585
00:21:39,110 --> 00:21:37,200
makes you go because once you find that

586
00:21:41,350 --> 00:21:39,120
you're gonna work hard at it

587
00:21:43,270 --> 00:21:41,360
and that's what the dare part is

588
00:21:45,430 --> 00:21:43,280
nobody's gonna give it to you you to

589
00:21:48,789 --> 00:21:45,440
work really hard

590
00:21:50,070 --> 00:21:48,799
to make that passion and that dream

591
00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:50,080
a reality

592
00:21:53,990 --> 00:21:51,360
but then

593
00:21:55,909 --> 00:21:54,000
there's one more part of it and to

594
00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:55,919
become an astronaut one of the biggest

595
00:22:02,789 --> 00:21:58,960
parts of it is just sheer luck

596
00:22:05,029 --> 00:22:02,799
timing and i am just lucky there are

597
00:22:07,510 --> 00:22:05,039
tons of people more qualified than me

598
00:22:09,669 --> 00:22:07,520
that are better than me in every single

599
00:22:12,070 --> 00:22:09,679
way but maybe

600
00:22:14,149 --> 00:22:12,080
that round of interviews they didn't

601
00:22:17,350 --> 00:22:14,159
apply or they weren't in the right place

602
00:22:19,430 --> 00:22:17,360
in their life uh that they could apply i

603
00:22:21,909 --> 00:22:19,440
just got lucky to be in the right place

604
00:22:24,950 --> 00:22:21,919
at the right time

605
00:22:26,390 --> 00:22:24,960
and and be a part of an incredible group

606
00:22:27,830 --> 00:22:26,400
so

607
00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:27,840
my advice for people who want to become

608
00:22:31,430 --> 00:22:29,520
an astronaut

609
00:22:33,830 --> 00:22:31,440
find your passion so that you never work

610
00:22:35,350 --> 00:22:33,840
a day in your life work really hard at

611
00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:35,360
it and then

612
00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:36,880
even if it doesn't work out because you

613
00:22:41,510 --> 00:22:39,600
weren't lucky at the right time to be

614
00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:41,520
selected as an astronaut you're still

615
00:22:45,909 --> 00:22:43,600
doing what you love and you're making a

616
00:22:47,110 --> 00:22:45,919
big difference on this planet

617
00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:47,120
well jack i don't think you give

618
00:22:51,110 --> 00:22:48,960
yourself enough credit i think like

619
00:22:53,909 --> 00:22:51,120
you're an extremely hard worker and your

620
00:22:55,909 --> 00:22:53,919
passion is definitely reflected uh on

621
00:22:58,470 --> 00:22:55,919
everything that you do and especially us

622
00:23:00,390 --> 00:22:58,480
we really enjoy watching you on orbit um

623
00:23:02,149 --> 00:23:00,400
but you know for for folks who want to

624
00:23:04,230 --> 00:23:02,159
become an astronaut you can actually

625
00:23:06,149 --> 00:23:04,240
give them a sense of sort of what that

626
00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:06,159
feels like and i know there's a lot of

627
00:23:08,710 --> 00:23:07,600
you know there's a lot of hard work and

628
00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:08,720
a lot of different things you have to

629
00:23:13,430 --> 00:23:11,200
learn but there's also that element that

630
00:23:15,909 --> 00:23:13,440
human element of being in space of

631
00:23:18,310 --> 00:23:15,919
living in space so i have a question uh

632
00:23:20,230 --> 00:23:18,320
just about do you feel do you ever feel

633
00:23:22,070 --> 00:23:20,240
isolated do you ever feel away from

634
00:23:23,270 --> 00:23:22,080
things or are you sort of connected and

635
00:23:25,830 --> 00:23:23,280
then i have another question from

636
00:23:28,230 --> 00:23:25,840
facebook from kay asking uh if you have

637
00:23:31,350 --> 00:23:28,240
insomnia in space they're two sort of

638
00:23:36,070 --> 00:23:31,360
related questions not really but uh uh

639
00:23:39,270 --> 00:23:37,750
okay i'm gonna have to flip mid-question

640
00:23:41,110 --> 00:23:39,280
because that's really two questions so

641
00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:41,120
i'll do the first one quickly the

642
00:23:46,870 --> 00:23:43,440
insomnia one some people have a hard

643
00:23:48,549 --> 00:23:46,880
time sleeping in space i don't my back

644
00:23:50,310 --> 00:23:48,559
usually kind of hurts on the ground

645
00:23:53,830 --> 00:23:50,320
because i've been flying fighters for

646
00:23:55,990 --> 00:23:53,840
too long uh but up here i feel great so

647
00:23:58,149 --> 00:23:56,000
it's like sleeping on an airbed because

648
00:24:00,470 --> 00:23:58,159
well i'm floating on air so that's

649
00:24:01,350 --> 00:24:00,480
awesome okay now i gotta flip

650
00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:01,360
uh

651
00:24:06,710 --> 00:24:04,720
isolated you do feel a bit

652
00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:06,720
not because there's not connectivity

653
00:24:10,630 --> 00:24:08,000
with the ground

654
00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:10,640
we can call via an internet protocol

655
00:24:14,310 --> 00:24:11,520
phone

656
00:24:16,470 --> 00:24:14,320
as well as video chat sometimes and then

657
00:24:17,669 --> 00:24:16,480
we're in constant communication with the

658
00:24:20,390 --> 00:24:17,679
ground

659
00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:20,400
all throughout the day as far as feeling

660
00:24:25,909 --> 00:24:23,760
isolated sometimes you feel because

661
00:24:28,549 --> 00:24:25,919
everything you're doing is being watched

662
00:24:30,630 --> 00:24:28,559
and i'm not talking about a podcast or

663
00:24:31,590 --> 00:24:30,640
posting on twitter or any of those type

664
00:24:35,110 --> 00:24:31,600
of things

665
00:24:37,430 --> 00:24:35,120
everything we do as we're doing science

666
00:24:40,070 --> 00:24:37,440
and as we're doing activities is being

667
00:24:42,470 --> 00:24:40,080
watched by the control centers worldwide

668
00:24:43,590 --> 00:24:42,480
that are keeping this place running and

669
00:24:45,830 --> 00:24:43,600
so

670
00:24:47,590 --> 00:24:45,840
you can kind of feel like my gosh

671
00:24:50,390 --> 00:24:47,600
because you're going to make mistakes

672
00:24:52,630 --> 00:24:50,400
you can't go for six months doing you

673
00:24:55,190 --> 00:24:52,640
know 12 hours a day and not make

674
00:24:57,029 --> 00:24:55,200
mistakes you're gonna make mistakes

675
00:24:58,710 --> 00:24:57,039
and sometimes you feel like man

676
00:25:01,350 --> 00:24:58,720
everybody is seeing everything that i'm

677
00:25:03,830 --> 00:25:01,360
doing wrong like you have a bad day

678
00:25:06,390 --> 00:25:03,840
that's when i break into my emergency

679
00:25:08,870 --> 00:25:06,400
coffee store and uh and get another

680
00:25:12,230 --> 00:25:08,880
coffee pouch out so i can have some

681
00:25:14,070 --> 00:25:12,240
coffee and then things get better

682
00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:14,080
all right we only got a couple of

683
00:25:17,110 --> 00:25:15,760
minutes left so it's it's time to get

684
00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:17,120
into some of the deep stuff some of the

685
00:25:22,070 --> 00:25:19,440
deep cuts here so you've been up there

686
00:25:24,630 --> 00:25:22,080
for a couple of months has just your

687
00:25:26,870 --> 00:25:24,640
perspective about everything about life

688
00:25:28,789 --> 00:25:26,880
on earth about you know life in general

689
00:25:30,710 --> 00:25:28,799
about your job about all that has been

690
00:25:35,590 --> 00:25:30,720
in space change that like do you have

691
00:25:40,230 --> 00:25:38,310
you know you do because you get to see

692
00:25:42,870 --> 00:25:40,240
the world in this totally different

693
00:25:44,630 --> 00:25:42,880
light this world without borders you

694
00:25:46,630 --> 00:25:44,640
know one shared experience for everybody

695
00:25:49,590 --> 00:25:46,640
in the the beauty and the

696
00:25:52,870 --> 00:25:49,600
just that thin blue line that that is so

697
00:25:55,110 --> 00:25:52,880
frail that holds all life you just

698
00:25:56,470 --> 00:25:55,120
your perspective has to grow and adapt

699
00:25:58,789 --> 00:25:56,480
and change to that

700
00:25:59,990 --> 00:25:58,799
but like i mentioned earlier how quickly

701
00:26:02,310 --> 00:26:00,000
your brain

702
00:26:05,029 --> 00:26:02,320
adapts and grows i think that

703
00:26:06,230 --> 00:26:05,039
perspective helps you grow as well and

704
00:26:08,870 --> 00:26:06,240
that's why

705
00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:08,880
after this experience

706
00:26:14,070 --> 00:26:11,200
yes my perspective has changed but it it

707
00:26:15,590 --> 00:26:14,080
has really inspired me to try

708
00:26:22,390 --> 00:26:15,600
to get

709
00:26:23,590 --> 00:26:22,400
permanent foothold in the stars for for

710
00:26:25,830 --> 00:26:23,600
our species

711
00:26:30,710 --> 00:26:25,840
i think we're on the verge of that and

712
00:26:33,510 --> 00:26:30,720
with orion and sls our new huge rocket

713
00:26:35,830 --> 00:26:33,520
we're taking steps towards that as well

714
00:26:37,510 --> 00:26:35,840
as a commercial industry a burgeoning

715
00:26:38,630 --> 00:26:37,520
commercial industry that's building the

716
00:26:40,789 --> 00:26:38,640
infrastructure

717
00:26:41,590 --> 00:26:40,799
for us to press further into the galaxy

718
00:26:44,950 --> 00:26:41,600
so

719
00:26:47,909 --> 00:26:44,960
i i'm my perspective change is that i

720
00:26:49,029 --> 00:26:47,919
want to do everything i possibly can to

721
00:26:52,549 --> 00:26:49,039
help

722
00:26:55,590 --> 00:26:52,559
the human species humanity as a whole

723
00:26:57,190 --> 00:26:55,600
go further and grow and evolve like i

724
00:26:59,350 --> 00:26:57,200
know they're capable of

725
00:27:01,669 --> 00:26:59,360
amazing that's it's just such an

726
00:27:03,190 --> 00:27:01,679
incredible perspective i mean just i

727
00:27:05,029 --> 00:27:03,200
mean looking down and you know just

728
00:27:07,269 --> 00:27:05,039
realizing kind of what we can accomplish

729
00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:07,279
it's it's kind of amazing but

730
00:27:12,149 --> 00:27:09,279
i guess from there do you ever do you

731
00:27:14,710 --> 00:27:12,159
ever sort of miss earth or uh maybe even

732
00:27:19,190 --> 00:27:14,720
i guess here's a question from geraldine

733
00:27:26,149 --> 00:27:22,630
oh sometimes the other day i was doing a

734
00:27:28,070 --> 00:27:26,159
task and and my wrench like pops off the

735
00:27:30,470 --> 00:27:28,080
bolt and it goes

736
00:27:32,310 --> 00:27:30,480
flying off and i'm like ah no big deal

737
00:27:35,110 --> 00:27:32,320
to hit the wall come back to me and i

738
00:27:38,070 --> 00:27:35,120
look over and there's this gap above the

739
00:27:40,230 --> 00:27:38,080
rack and it's like it's like an inch

740
00:27:42,630 --> 00:27:40,240
and that wrench decided oh i'm gonna

741
00:27:45,029 --> 00:27:42,640
turn so i'm perfectly in line with that

742
00:27:47,750 --> 00:27:45,039
gap and it went floating inside and then

743
00:27:49,750 --> 00:27:47,760
it was behind the rack and lost forever

744
00:27:51,990 --> 00:27:49,760
probably in like two years somebody's

745
00:27:53,510 --> 00:27:52,000
gonna be cleaning an air vent and go oh

746
00:27:55,269 --> 00:27:53,520
hey look a wrench i wonder where that

747
00:27:57,269 --> 00:27:55,279
came from so

748
00:27:58,630 --> 00:27:57,279
there are some times you really miss

749
00:28:03,590 --> 00:27:58,640
gravity but

750
00:28:05,110 --> 00:28:03,600
about 99.9 of the time you don't

751
00:28:07,029 --> 00:28:05,120
all right well i mean first off i just

752
00:28:08,389 --> 00:28:07,039
want to say i fully support your new

753
00:28:10,149 --> 00:28:08,399
perspective because i want to go to

754
00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:10,159
space so jack do everything you can to

755
00:28:12,789 --> 00:28:11,520
get me up there

756
00:28:14,310 --> 00:28:12,799
um

757
00:28:15,430 --> 00:28:14,320
so you're getting close to coming home

758
00:28:17,590 --> 00:28:15,440
you're coming home the beginning of

759
00:28:18,870 --> 00:28:17,600
september is there anything left on the

760
00:28:20,549 --> 00:28:18,880
list that you want to do while you're up

761
00:28:24,789 --> 00:28:20,559
there is there like a space bucket list

762
00:28:29,110 --> 00:28:27,029
there is and there's it's such a huge

763
00:28:30,870 --> 00:28:29,120
list you can kind of get overwhelmed by

764
00:28:31,990 --> 00:28:30,880
it you know i want to picture this or

765
00:28:34,149 --> 00:28:32,000
that or

766
00:28:36,950 --> 00:28:34,159
you know

767
00:28:38,389 --> 00:28:36,960
i i i made a list and i said i'm not

768
00:28:40,950 --> 00:28:38,399
going to add anything else to it so i'm

769
00:28:43,510 --> 00:28:40,960
almost through it uh as far as the stuff

770
00:28:45,830 --> 00:28:43,520
i want to take pictures of or record or

771
00:28:48,549 --> 00:28:45,840
or grab and and

772
00:28:49,590 --> 00:28:48,559
and then i'm going to take all my spare

773
00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:49,600
time

774
00:28:55,909 --> 00:28:53,200
and and just go down and grab a window

775
00:28:58,710 --> 00:28:55,919
or whatever and sit there and soak it up

776
00:29:01,350 --> 00:28:58,720
and just enjoy it and and and take a

777
00:29:02,789 --> 00:29:01,360
mental image so that i can fuel that

778
00:29:05,750 --> 00:29:02,799
passion and and

779
00:29:08,310 --> 00:29:05,760
when i come back to try to talk to

780
00:29:10,789 --> 00:29:08,320
people and get them excited about space

781
00:29:13,510 --> 00:29:10,799
it it's there's a there's a big old well

782
00:29:15,750 --> 00:29:13,520
of of passion inside me because i i just

783
00:29:18,070 --> 00:29:15,760
sat there and plugged into the

784
00:29:20,870 --> 00:29:18,080
inspiration bar in the cupola

785
00:29:22,950 --> 00:29:20,880

scenes with the people that make human

879
00:32:51,350 --> 00:32:49,760
space flight happen that's where you get

880
00:32:53,509 --> 00:32:51,360

that whole experience but then we talk

893
00:33:20,870 --> 00:33:19,039

894
00:33:22,389 --> 00:33:20,880
