00:00:02,020 --> 00:00:03,240
"WELCOME TO SPACE TO
GROUND"

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,100
[Multiple voices]

3
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:09,920
"HOUSTON, STATION
ON SPACE TO GROUND."

4
00:00:10,196 --> 00:00:12,456
WELCOME TO SPACE TO
GROUND, I'M DAN HUOT.

5
00:00:12,746 --> 00:00:16,586
BEFORE WE GET STARTED, WE
JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS.

6
00:00:16,586 --> 00:00:19,616
TO EVERYONE THAT'S TUNED
IN OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS

7
00:00:19,646 --> 00:00:23,016
TO LEARN WHAT'S GOING ON ABOARD
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION,

8
00:00:23,306 --> 00:00:25,216
FROM THE STUDENTS
AND TEACHERS TO ALL

9
00:00:25,216 --> 00:00:27,436
OF YOU WATCHING ONLINE,
THANK YOU.

10
00:00:27,946 --> 00:00:30,536
IT'S BEEN A BLAST BRINGING
YOU TO OUTER SPACE EACH WEEK

11
00:00:30,596 --> 00:00:33,456
FOR 200 EPISODES AND WE
LOOK FORWARD TO DOING IT

12
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:34,716
FOR A FEW HUNDRED MORE.

13
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:38,160
HMM, I MISS HAVING
THAT MUCH HAIR.

14
00:00:39,396 --> 00:00:42,646
ANYWAY, THIS WEEK ANOTHER
CARGO CRAFT IS GETTING READY

15
00:00:42,646 --> 00:00:44,656
TO ROCKET TOWARDS
THE SPACE STATION.

16
00:00:45,696 --> 00:00:47,506
ORBITAL ATK IS GEARING

17
00:00:47,506 --> 00:00:50,146
UP FOR THEIR EIGHTH RESUPPLY
MISSION TO THE STATION.

18
00:00:50,736 --> 00:00:52,826
THE ANTARES ROCKET
IS SET TO LIFT OFF

19
00:00:52,826 --> 00:00:56,006
FROM THE WALLOPS FLIGHT FACILITY
IN VIRGINIA AFTER ROLLING

20
00:00:56,006 --> 00:00:59,006
OUT TO THE PAD THIS WEEK
WITH CYGNUS MOUNTED ON TOP.

21
00:00:59,616 --> 00:01:03,736
IT'S READY TO LAUNCH ON SATURDAY
MORNING AT 7:37 A.M. EASTERN

22
00:01:03,996 --> 00:01:07,766
SO WAKE UP EARLY AND TUNE IN
TO NASA TV OR WATCH ONLINE

23
00:01:07,766 --> 00:01:12,786
AT NASA.GOV OR ON SOCIAL MEDIA
AS ABOUT 7,400 POUNDS OF SCIENCE

24
00:01:12,786 --> 00:01:14,786
AND SUPPLIES ROCKET
OFF THE SURFACE.

25
00:01:15,636 --> 00:01:18,826
RANDY BRESNIK SPENT A FEW HOURS
THIS WEEK GETTING THE STATION

26
00:01:18,826 --> 00:01:20,996
READY FOR SOME FUTURE
ROBOTIC ASSISTANTS.

27
00:01:21,926 --> 00:01:24,276
BRESNIK SPENT TIME
MAPPING THE INTERIOR

28
00:01:24,276 --> 00:01:28,626
OF THE JAPANESE MODULE KIBO FOR
THE UPCOMING ASTROBEE PROJECT.

29
00:01:29,186 --> 00:01:31,516
SET TO ARRIVE ON
STATION NEXT SPRING,

30
00:01:31,606 --> 00:01:35,366
THE TRIO OF SELF-CONTAINED,
FREE-FLYING ROBOTS WILL BE USED

31
00:01:35,366 --> 00:01:37,786
TO HELP DEVELOP THE
TECHNOLOGIES NECESSARY

32
00:01:37,786 --> 00:01:40,776
TO GIVE ASTRONAUTS A
HELPING HAND, AIMING TO TAKE

33
00:01:40,776 --> 00:01:44,016
OVER ROUTINE CHORES LIKE
CLEANING AND AIR MONITORING.

34
00:01:44,496 --> 00:01:47,886
DESIGNED TO BE AUTONOMOUS, THIS
FREES UP THE ASTRONAUTS TO FOCUS

35
00:01:47,886 --> 00:01:49,706
ON STUFF THAT REQUIRES THE CREW,

36
00:01:49,936 --> 00:01:51,946
LIKE SCIENCE AND
COMPLEX REPAIRS.

37
00:01:52,816 --> 00:01:55,496
THIS WEEK'S TWITTER
QUESTION COMES FROM KJ WEIS

38
00:01:55,496 --> 00:01:58,106
AT NORTH KANSAS CITY
HIGH SCHOOL AND ASKED

39
00:01:58,106 --> 00:02:00,426
IF YOU CAN SEE DIFFERENT
PLANET FROM STATION.

40
00:02:00,936 --> 00:02:02,316
WELL SINCE THEY'RE NOT FAR AWAY,

41
00:02:02,316 --> 00:02:05,466
THE ASTRONAUTS GENERALLY SEE
THE SAME PLANETS WE CAN HERE

42
00:02:05,466 --> 00:02:07,940
ON EARTH, BUT THEY GET
A PRETTY UNIQUE VIEW.

43
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,940
THERE AREN'T ANY HIGH-POWERED
TELESCOPES FOR ASTRONAUTS

44
00:02:12,016 --> 00:02:14,836
TO GAZE AT OUR PLANETARY
NEIGHBORS WITH ON STATION

45
00:02:15,196 --> 00:02:18,336
BUT THEIR SUITS OF PHOTOGRAPHIC
EQUIPMENT GIVES THEM THE CHANCE

46
00:02:18,336 --> 00:02:19,526
FOR SOME UNIQUE SHOTS.

47
00:02:20,066 --> 00:02:23,116
PICTURES LIKE THESE SHOW HOW
INCREDIBLE VENUS CAN LOOK

48
00:02:23,176 --> 00:02:27,586
WHEN VIEWED FROM 250 MILES ABOVE
AND ONE ASTRONAUT, DON PETTIT,

49
00:02:27,866 --> 00:02:30,616
WAS EVEN ABLE TO SNAG
SOME IMAGES FROM SPACE

50
00:02:30,616 --> 00:02:33,596
OF WHEN VENUS PASSED
DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE SUN.

51
00:02:34,616 --> 00:02:36,776
KEEP SENDING US YOUR
QUESTIONS USING THE

52
00:02:36,776 --> 00:02:38,336
HASHTAG SPACE-TO-GROUND.

53
00:02:38,626 --> 00:02:41,046
AND FOR THOSE EDUCATORS
OUT THERE, BE SURE TO CHECK

54
00:02:41,046 --> 00:02:43,656
OUT THE SPACE STATION
RESEARCH EXPLORER APP

55
00:02:43,986 --> 00:02:47,526
SO YOU CAN SHARE HOW STATION
RESEARCH RIGHT NOW IS IMPACTING
