24
00:01:12,836 --> 00:01:15,876
THIS WEEK'S QUESTION COMES
FROM VINCENT, WHO WANTED TO KNOW

25
00:01:15,916 --> 00:01:18,146
IF ASTRONAUTS PLAY
SPORTS WHILE IN SPACE.

26
00:01:19,016 --> 00:01:22,476
LIKE MANY OF US, ASTRONAUTS
ARE ALSO FANS OF A WIDE VARIETY

27
00:01:22,476 --> 00:01:26,136
OF SPORTS, FROM AUTO RACING TO
SOCCER, AND HOCKEY TO TENNIS.

28
00:01:26,866 --> 00:01:30,796
"THE CHALLENGE IS AT ANY TIME
THAT WE MOVE QUICKLY OR HAVE

29
00:01:30,796 --> 00:01:33,236
TO PLANT THEIR FEET OR
DO SOMETHING FORCEFUL

30
00:01:33,316 --> 00:01:36,276
WITH THEIR BODIES, IT'S REALLY
TOUGH BECAUSE, WELL YOU CAN SEE

31
00:01:36,276 --> 00:01:38,456
IF I LET GO WITH MY FEET
I JUST START FLOATING,

32
00:01:38,736 --> 00:01:41,486
AND SO IF I'M JUST IN THE MIDDLE
OF THIS MODULE HERE AND I TRY

33
00:01:41,486 --> 00:01:43,876
TO SWING A RACKET OR HIT
A BALL OR DO SOMETHING,

34
00:01:43,876 --> 00:01:46,526
KICK A SOCCER BALL, I'VE
GOT NOTHING TO PLANT MY FEET

35
00:01:46,526 --> 00:01:50,196
ON SO I JUST START FLOATING
RANDOM AND THEN IT'S DIFFICULT

36
00:01:50,196 --> 00:01:51,506
TO PUT FORCE INTO ANYTHING."
