00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,360
WELCOME TO SPACE TO GROUND, I’M ISIDRO REYNA.

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,980
THIS WEEK, SCIENCE HARDWARE INSTALLATION ON STATION AND MORE.

3
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:14,580
NASA ASTRONAUT ANDREW MORGAN INSTALLED NEW LIFE SCIENCE HARDWARE INSIDE THE STATION’S

4
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:20,590
KIBO LABORATORY CALLED THE CELL BIOLOGY EXPERIMENT FACILITY-L. THIS IS AN UPGRADED JAPANESE DEVICE

5
00:00:20,590 --> 00:00:25,480
USED IN VARIOUS LIFE SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS,
SUCH AS CULTIVATING CELLS AND PLANTS.

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,279
CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY RESEARCH CUTS ACROSS ALL SCIENCE DISCIPLINES IN SPACE BIOLOGY,

7
00:00:30,279 --> 00:00:34,540
FROM UNDERSTANDING HOW SINGLE-CELLED ORGANISMS RESPOND TO THE CONDITIONS OF SPACEFLIGHT,

8
00:00:34,540 --> 00:00:38,910
TO HOW ALL OF THE VARIOUS CELLS IN A COMPLEX TISSUE – OR ORGAN – WORK TOGETHER TO HELP

9
00:00:38,910 --> 00:00:42,200
AN ORGANISM AS A WHOLE ACCLIMATE TO A FOREIGN ENVIRONMENT.

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,650
BY USING BOTH THE NEWLY INSTALLED FACILITY
WITH THE ORIGINAL FOR THE SAME EXPERIMENT,

11
00:00:46,650 --> 00:00:50,550
ASTRONAUTS CAN HANDLE THE PROCESSING OF MORE SAMPLES ON THE STATION.

12
00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:55,000
NASA ASTRONAUTS CHRISTINA KOCH AND JESSICA MEIR, WHO COMPLETED THE FIRST ALL-WOMAN SPACEWALK

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,700
ON OCT. 18, PARTICIPATED IN A PRESS CONFERENCE FROM ORBIT ON OCT. 21.

14
00:01:00,980 --> 00:01:05,850
THE DUO ANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR SEVEN-HOUR, 17-MINUTE SPACEWALK, WHICH INCLUDED REPLACING

15
00:01:05,850 --> 00:01:10,420
A FAILED POWER CONTROLLER, AND SEVERAL OTHER TASKS IN PREPARATION FOR FUTURE SPACEWALKS.

16
00:01:10,980 --> 00:01:15,820
"I'VE DEFINITELY DRAWN ENCOURAGEMENT FROM MENTORS THAT I CAN SEE REFLECTIONS OF MYSELF

17
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:20,470
AND THOUGHOUT MY LIFE, AND SO RECOGNIZING
THAT WE MAY BE OFFERING THAT FOR FUTURE SPACE

18
00:01:20,470 --> 00:01:25,380
EXPLORERS OR EXPLORERS OF ANY KIND OR ANYONE PURSUING A DREAM, WAS DEFINITELY A PRIVILEGE

19
00:01:25,380 --> 00:01:26,380
AND AN HONOR."

20
00:01:26,380 --> 00:01:31,170
" FOR US, YOU KNOW WHEN WE SEE THAT MANY TIMES IN OUR LIVES IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF

21
00:01:31,170 --> 00:01:36,320
SOMEBODY CAN IDENTIFY WITH SOMEBODY, SOMETHING ABOUT THEM, SOMETHING, SOME KIND OF SHARED

22
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:41,140
EXPERIENCE WITH THEM WHETHER IT'S SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THEIR BACKGROUND OR EXPERIENCES,

23
00:01:41,140 --> 00:01:46,100
OR WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE, OR THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE LONG, CURLY BROWN HAIR, WHO KNOWS.

24
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:50,910
IF SOME SOMETIMES THAT MAKES IT EASIER TO
HAVE AN INSPIRATION, HAVE A CONNECTION AND

25
00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:52,780
MOTIVATION FOR SOMETHING GREAT.

26
00:01:52,780 --> 00:01:57,880
SO IT REALLY DOES MEAN A GREAT DEAL FOR US
TO HAVE THIS, TO SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE TOGETHER

27
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,560
AND HOPEFULLY IT DOES INSPIRE, AND EDUCATE
THOSE THAT WILL FOLLOW US."

28
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,470
THIS WEEK’S QUESTION COMES FROM ALEX.

29
00:02:04,470 --> 00:02:08,190
SHE WANTS TO KNOW IF ASTRONAUTS CAN LISTEN TO MUSIC WHEN THEY WORK.

30
00:02:08,190 --> 00:02:09,990
THE ANSWER IS YES.

31
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:11,700
ASTRONAUTS CAN LISTEN TO MUSIC WHEN THEY WORK.

32
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:16,280
IN FACT, MUSIC HAS BEEN INTERWOVEN THROUGHOUT SPACEFLIGHT HISTORY, FROM PRE-LAUNCH SONGS

33
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,880
TO SHUTTLE WAKE-UP CALLS.

34
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,200
ADDITIONALLY, FLIGHT PLANNERS ON EARTH SCHEDULE TIME EACH DAY FOR ASTRONAUTS TO RELAX AND

35
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,550
HAVE SOME FUN.

36
00:02:23,550 --> 00:02:27,630
SOME CREWMEMBERS BRING THEIR OWN MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS TO THE STATION TO SHARE THEIR OWN TUNES WITH

37
00:02:27,630 --> 00:02:30,880
FELLOW CREW MEMBERS – LIVE IN SPACE!
