00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:45,840 its orbit affected you in your frame of 9 00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:48,160 reference when moving around the iss or 10 00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:50,320 your perspective of humanity as a whole 11 00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:52,320 over 12 00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:54,480 hi ellen that's a great question seeing 13 00:00:58,869 --> 00:00:56,399 earth from up here is it's a beautiful 14 00:01:02,069 --> 00:00:58,879 thing it's just this peaceful place with 15 00:01:04,469 --> 00:01:02,079 no borders there and you just see this 16 00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:04,479 wonderful colors of blues and greens and 17 00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:06,640 browns and white clouds and snow 18 00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:09,200 mountains and it really gives you an 19 00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:11,280 appreciation for earth as a spaceship 20 00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:13,439 for seven billion people just like our 21 00:01:17,749 --> 00:01:16,320 spaceship is keeping us alive and how we 22 00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:17,759 need to take care of earth because it 23 00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:20,720 takes care of us over 24 00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:23,119 this is spencer what happens if you 25 00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:25,439 vomit in the space station how do you 26 00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:27,520 clean it up over 27 00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:29,600 well hi spencer fortunately we are 28 00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:31,600 prepared for vomiting in space and we 29 00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:34,799 bring special bags that if we're feeling 30 00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:37,520 the urge to go we use these bags 31 00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:39,280 occasionally 32 00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:42,560 on the launch it can surprise you and uh 33 00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:44,880 but we have bags in the launch vehicle 34 00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:46,720 as well if you didn't make it in the bag 35 00:01:50,149 --> 00:01:48,640 it would be a real mess it would go 36 00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:50,159 everywhere it would take quite a bit of 37 00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:52,799 time to clean up over 38 00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:56,000 this is lucas how has the kova 19 39 00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:58,000 pandemic affected you while you're in 40 00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:00,799 space over 41 00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:03,680 hi lucas the pandemic has affected us 42 00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:05,840 because it's affecting our families our 43 00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:08,720 daily life here on the space station 44 00:02:13,270 --> 00:02:10,720 is largely the same with or without the 45 00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:13,280 pandemic we are safe and we are 46 00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:15,040 executing our job and keeping the space 47 00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:17,360 station running and functioning and 48 00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:19,520 keeping ourselves healthy with our daily 49 00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:20,800 routine 50 00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:22,560 but we're concerned for our friends and 51 00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:25,040 family and loved ones because they're uh 52 00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:28,400 on in russia and in the united states uh 53 00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:30,400 having to deal with it just like you are 54 00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:31,760 over 55 00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:34,160 mr what will be your first meal when you 56 00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:37,200 get back to earth 57 00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:40,319 hi ally i i like to eat and so i'm 58 00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:41,840 looking forward to any food that 59 00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:43,680 somebody uh makes 60 00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:46,480 and but one thing we don't have is an 61 00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:48,560 oven here so something that comes out of 62 00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:50,879 the oven and you smell those smells 63 00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:53,840 uh and and you eat a nice hot meal that 64 00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:56,800 that sounds terrific to me over 65 00:03:02,630 --> 00:02:59,280 this is foyer what does it feel like 66 00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:02,640 when the rocket lifts off over 67 00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:04,400 sawyer when the rocket lifts off it's 68 00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:06,959 just tremendous feeling like somebody's 69 00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:09,360 pushing you in your back and shoving you 70 00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:11,120 faster and faster and higher and higher 71 00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:12,239 to the sky 72 00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:14,400 and there's a few periods of time where 73 00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:17,680 our engines change it's called staging 74 00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:20,480 and uh it there's some bumpiness and 75 00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:21,920 some a little bit of shaking in the 76 00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:24,159 spacecraft during those periods but the 77 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:26,720 rest of the eight minute nine minutes is 78 00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:27,599 uh 79 00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:29,200 is just like 80 00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:30,959 a giant 81 00:03:36,309 --> 00:03:33,920 force is throwing you into the into the 82 00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:36,319 sky over 83 00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:38,480 it's okay 84 00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:45,190 jordan the space station has uh 85 00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:48,239 not too just uh different smells than 86 00:03:53,589 --> 00:03:51,920 you'd have in a home down there we we 87 00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:53,599 try to keep ourselves clean we try to 88 00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:55,120 keep the space station clean in fact 89 00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:56,560 tomorrow is saturday and that's our 90 00:04:02,309 --> 00:03:59,200 cleaning day and we do our best to to 91 00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,319 keep it neat and tidy but occasionally 92 00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:04,560 there's there's smells where we have to 93 00:04:07,589 --> 00:04:05,519 change 94 00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:07,599 uh 95 00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:10,000 fluid a lot of times that has to do with 96 00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:13,200 our bodily functions in the toilet and 97 00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:15,040 they can be smelly there but for the 98 00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:17,359 most part the space station to me it 99 00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:20,400 smells just like a normal home over 100 00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:22,720 this is eric was training to be an 101 00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:25,040 astronaut harder or easier than training 102 00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:27,600 to be a navy seal over 103 00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:29,040 well eric they were totally different 104 00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:31,520 the training to be a navy seal initially 105 00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:32,720 was 106 00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:35,280 very hard for six months training to be 107 00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:37,919 an astronaut or a cosmonaut is a long 108 00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:39,600 process and it takes 109 00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:43,440 many years of hard work so and it's more 110 00:04:48,070 --> 00:04:45,680 academic more um 111 00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:48,080 having to do with your brain in seal 112 00:04:52,469 --> 00:04:49,360 training we had 113 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:52,479 some some academics but largely it was a 114 00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:54,479 physical thing so two entirely different 115 00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:56,479 programs over 116 00:05:01,029 --> 00:04:58,720 this is owen what experiment that you 117 00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:01,039 don't have the most unexpected results 118 00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:03,280 who's the expected and actual outcome of 119 00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:06,400 said experiment over 120 00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:08,560 wow well that's a very detailed question 121 00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:10,560 we have lots of experiments going on up 122 00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:13,039 here but one that uh when i first 123 00:05:17,830 --> 00:05:15,600 arrived we were growing some plants and 124 00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:17,840 i thought that they would grow more than 125 00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:19,840 they did over the course of several 126 00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:20,800 weeks 127 00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:22,320 they were 128 00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:25,520 just a small sprout which surprised me 129 00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:27,840 because uh pictures i had never seen 130 00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:29,840 grown growth in space before on my 131 00:05:33,510 --> 00:05:31,840 previous missions so i'm looking forward 132 00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:33,520 to trying that again and getting better 133 00:05:38,310 --> 00:05:35,680 results over 134 00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:38,320 this is spencer how successful is your 135 00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:41,440 3d printer on the station ever 136 00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:44,080 spencer we have the 3d printer has been 137 00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:53,510 a few years and we've printed many parts 138 00:05:58,150 --> 00:05:55,759 we don't have it deployed and active all 139 00:06:00,870 --> 00:05:58,160 all the time but when we need to we can 140 00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:00,880 we can uh we can print what we need if 141 00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:03,280 it meets the criteria it's a very 142 00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:05,520 effective way of having spare parts on 143 00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:06,400 in space 144 00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:10,309 this is lucas 145 00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:12,880 we are a model rocket building club did 146 00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:15,120 you ever do model rockets when you were 147 00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:17,440 young over 148 00:06:23,590 --> 00:06:20,319 lucas i wish i did but i never i never 149 00:06:26,309 --> 00:06:23,600 had a club or or a mentor in my area 150 00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:26,319 that that was uh involved with moral 151 00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:28,560 rockets so i never really launched a 152 00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:31,120 model rocket as a young person 153 00:06:46,550 --> 00:06:43,510 microgravity is um 154 00:06:48,390 --> 00:06:46,560 is more of a feel of how to move around 155 00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:48,400 your body in my opinion 156 00:06:52,790 --> 00:06:51,039 feels kind of the same everything you do 157 00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:52,800 on earth with your body eating going to 158 00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:54,960 the bathroom sleeping 159 00:06:59,990 --> 00:06:57,199 your hair growing all that stuff is very 160 00:07:02,309 --> 00:07:00,000 normal i think but moving around in 161 00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:02,319 microgravity is not normal and it takes 162 00:07:06,629 --> 00:07:04,720 some practice to to get used to how to 163 00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:06,639 do it 164 00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:12,629 this is eric does the earth look any 165 00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:15,680 clearer or less polluted now compared to 166 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:19,120 when you flew in 2009 and with canadian 167 00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:21,730 chris hatfield in 2013 over 168 00:07:25,909 --> 00:07:23,680 [Music] 169 00:07:27,909 --> 00:07:25,919 uh i actually flew

space 173 00:07:37,909 --> 00:07:35,039 without a a canadian crewmate but the 174 00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:37,919 earth does not look any different 175 00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:40,400 from our with our eyes than than the 176 00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:43,199 previous times and my my my crewmate and 177 00:07:47,749 --> 00:07:45,360 friend anatoly has been in space several 178 00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:47,759 times and we both have tried to see any 179 00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:49,680 differences and and we we can't really 180 00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:56,309 this is sawyer do you play any game so
