2
00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:17,450
the astronaut office uses a lot of

3
00:00:20,750 --> 00:00:19,080
extreme environments to help us train

4
00:00:23,179 --> 00:00:20,760
for the space station so it's no

5
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:23,189
accident that a lot of us are members on

6
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:25,230
an email mission prior to going to the

7
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:33,720
Nimmo and I had the I was fortunate to

8
00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:36,310
dive with Luca parmitano who had already

9
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:37,870
flown onboard the space station at that

10
00:00:41,729 --> 00:00:39,460
point he was our commander for the NEEMO

11
00:00:44,010 --> 00:00:41,739
mission during that two to

12
00:00:46,410 --> 00:00:44,020
two-and-a-half leak mission underwater a

13
00:00:47,549 --> 00:00:46,420
couple times I asked Luca it's this

14
00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:47,559
environment that we live in is

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:49,900
reminiscent of station and he said this

16
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:51,850
is just like living on station he goes

17
00:00:55,979 --> 00:00:54,640
we have a Mission Control on ground that

18
00:00:57,450 --> 00:00:55,989
we deal with every day talk to you

19
00:00:59,310 --> 00:00:57,460
multiple times a day we have a time line

20
00:01:01,380 --> 00:00:59,320
we need to follow he's like even the

21
00:01:03,330 --> 00:01:01,390
running sounds of a fan inside the

22
00:01:04,829 --> 00:01:03,340
habitat underneath the water the

23
00:01:07,170 --> 00:01:04,839
background noise that's always there it

24
00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:07,180
is very much like station we would do

25
00:01:11,969 --> 00:01:10,030
aqua walks or space walks but we had to

26
00:01:13,710 --> 00:01:11,979
Don all of our protective gear and do

27
00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:13,720
checks and then we'd be outside the

28
00:01:17,850 --> 00:01:15,759
habitat doing dives for three to four

29
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:17,860
hours at a time so he said this is one

30
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:20,080
of the best environments that he'd ever

31
00:01:27,450 --> 00:01:25,020
Antarctica was interesting because an

32
00:01:29,730 --> 00:01:27,460
archive is more isolated much more

33
00:01:32,969 --> 00:01:29,740
southern station so I was there to help

34
00:01:35,790 --> 00:01:32,979
collect meteorites and so I was the lone

35
00:01:38,999 --> 00:01:35,800
physician with a bunch of PhDs in

36
00:01:40,650 --> 00:01:39,009
geology or lunar geology Martian Gian

37
00:01:42,510 --> 00:01:40,660
these are all specialists in their field

38
00:01:44,190 --> 00:01:42,520
and it's you know Sesame Street which

39
00:01:46,949 --> 00:01:44,200
one of these is not like the other that

40
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:46,959
would be me but funny enough these folks

41
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:48,250
Hawk we all came together and they

42
00:01:52,139 --> 00:01:50,350
taught me you know how to find

43
00:01:52,859 --> 00:01:52,149
meteorites in the field you know

44
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:52,869
meteorites

45
00:01:56,580 --> 00:01:54,610
Leonore the atmosphere come towards

46
00:01:58,590 --> 00:01:56,590
Earth they form a fusion crust from

47
00:01:59,820 --> 00:01:58,600
reentry and if you have the Sun come

48
00:02:01,889 --> 00:01:59,830
over your shoulder just the right angle

49
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:01,899
you'll see it glisten right off the

50
00:02:06,180 --> 00:02:03,759
surface and so we would drive our

51
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:06,190
snowmobiles around just using our naked

52
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:08,530
eyeball no special tools to find those

53
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:11,440
meteorites Antarctica you are very much

54
00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:13,450
at that point II tip of the sphere

55
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:14,800
you learn a lot about yourself you learn

56
00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:16,810
what's important when you're kind of in

57
00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:18,670
an isolated environment things like

58
00:02:22,589 --> 00:02:21,280
communication from home exercise on a

59
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:22,599
daily basis these are all the things

60
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:25,170
that are parts of good behavioral health

61
00:02:30,930 --> 00:02:27,760
during an expedition so yes absolutely

62
00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:30,940
valuable I'm Serena Anand Chancellor and

63
00:02:50,020 --> 00:02:32,640
I'm an astronaut
