00:00:03,909 --> 00:00:06,589
WELCOME TO SPACE TO GROUND, I’M LEAH CHESHIER.

2
00:00:06,589 --> 00:00:08,469
THIS WEEK, THE CREW ON THE SPACE STATION

3
00:00:08,469 --> 00:00:10,660
WITNESSED EARTH DAY FROM THE BEST SEAT

4
00:00:10,660 --> 00:00:13,130
IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM.

5
00:00:13,130 --> 00:00:15,120
ON APRIL 22, WE OBSERVED

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,349
THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF EARTH DAY.

7
00:00:17,349 --> 00:00:20,410
THE WORLD MARKED THE FIRST EARTH DAY IN 1970,

8
00:00:20,410 --> 00:00:21,519
AND THIS YEAR, MANY OF US

9
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:23,060
PARTICIPATED FROM HOME.

10
00:00:23,060 --> 00:00:26,250
AS WE LOOKED OUT OUR WINDOWS AT OUR HOME PLANET,

11
00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:28,029
THREE PEOPLE LIVING ON THE SPACE STATION

12
00:00:28,029 --> 00:00:31,980
HAD THE SAME OPPORTUNITY, BUT FROM 250 MILES
ABOVE.

13
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:34,230
LISTEN IN AS NASA ASTRONAUT CHRIS CASSIDY,

14
00:00:34,230 --> 00:00:35,980
WHO IS ON HIS THIRD SPACEFLIGHT,

15
00:00:35,980 --> 00:00:39,280
TALKS ABOUT EARTH DAY FROM THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.

16
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:46,950
"I'M REALLY THINKING ABOUT HOW EARTH IS SPACESHIP FOR ALL OF US,

17
00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:51,699
AND WHETHER IT'S A PANDEMIC OR CLIMATE IMPACTS,

18
00:00:51,699 --> 00:00:52,950
WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF IT.

19
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:54,829
LIKE ANATOLY, IVAN AND MYSELF,

20
00:00:54,829 --> 00:00:57,280
WE'RE TAKING CARE OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION RIGHT NOW,

21
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,200
JUST LIKE ALL OF THE PEOPLE ON EARTH NEED
TO DO THEIR JOB,

22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,609
DO THEIR PART TO KEEP EARTH HEALTHY."

23
00:01:03,609 --> 00:01:06,340
THE SPACE STATION HAS SEEN A LOT OF TRAFFIC
RECENTLY

24
00:01:06,340 --> 00:01:10,470
AND THERE’S NO SIGN OF THAT SLOWING DOWN
ANY TIME SOON.

25
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:14,050
ON FRIDAY, APRIL 24 AT 9:51 PM EASTERN TIME,

26
00:01:14,050 --> 00:01:16,420
THE PROGRESS 75 SPACECRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO

27
00:01:16,420 --> 00:01:19,160
LAUNCH FROM THE BAIKONUR COSMODROME IN KAZAKHSTAN,

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,390
ARRIVING JUST A FEW HOURS LATER AT 1:12 AM
EASTERN TIME.

29
00:01:23,390 --> 00:01:25,550
THIS RUSSIAN RESUPPLY CRAFT WILL DELIVER ABOUT

30
00:01:25,550 --> 00:01:29,420
2.78 TONS OF FOOD, FUEL AND OTHER SUPPLIES,

31
00:01:29,420 --> 00:01:32,350
AND WILL REMAIN AT THE STATION UNTIL EARLY
DECEMBER.

32
00:01:32,350 --> 00:01:34,720
WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO MAY 27TH

33
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,470
AND NASA’S SPACEX DM-2 COMMERCIAL CREW MISSION,

34
00:01:38,470 --> 00:01:40,840
THE FIRST LAUNCH OF ASTRONAUTS FROM AMERICAN SOIL

35
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,030
SINCE CONCLUSION OF THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM IN 2011.

36
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:47,800
