00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:06,960
welcome to space to ground i'm shanique

3
00:00:11,270 --> 00:00:09,280
wolverine this week nasa announced an

4
00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:11,280
extended mission for an astronaut and

5
00:00:15,589 --> 00:00:14,160
cosmonaut completed a spacewalk and saw

6
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:15,599
some spicy blooms aboard the

7
00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:17,760
international space station

8
00:00:23,189 --> 00:00:20,640
on sunday september 12th european space

9
00:00:25,269 --> 00:00:23,199
agency astronaut tomah pesquet and japan

10
00:00:27,670 --> 00:00:25,279
aerospace exploration agency astronaut

11
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:27,680
aki hoshide ventured outside the quest

12
00:00:32,470 --> 00:00:29,920
airlock to prepare for more solar array

13
00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:32,480
upgrades the space walkers installed a

14
00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:35,200
modification kit or support bracket to

15
00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:37,040
prepare the outside of the station for

16
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:39,360
future roll out solar array installation

17
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:40,239
work

18
00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:42,480
after a successful trip outside the pair

19
00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:46,000
returned after six hours and 54 minutes

20
00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:48,320
all astronauts are explorers at heart

21
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:50,079
and having the opportunity to contribute

22
00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:52,399
to furthering exploration is a great

23
00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:53,520
opportunity

24
00:00:57,830 --> 00:00:55,600
meanwhile tuesday nasa announced that

25
00:01:00,150 --> 00:00:57,840

cosmo's cosmonaut piotr dubrov would

27
00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:02,000

29
00:01:09,270 --> 00:01:07,360

single space flight for an american

31
00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:11,200
edging out former nasa astronaut scott

32
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:14,640
kelly with a whopping 353 days spin in

33
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:16,000
space

34
00:01:20,550 --> 00:01:17,680
and the science onboard the station is

35
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:20,560
good enough to eat well sort of

36
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,640
nasa astronaut megan macarthur shared

37
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:24,400
photos of some of the first flowers

38
00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:26,720
blooming from four pepper plants growing

39
00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:28,880
in the advanced plant habitat aboard the

40
00:01:33,749 --> 00:01:31,200
international space station so looking

41
00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:33,759
in the center of the two flowers that i

42
00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:36,400
can see most easily there is definitely

43
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:39,119
a dark green form at the base of the

44
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:40,400
flower

45
00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:43,040
plant habitat 4 experiment is one of the

46
00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:44,799
most challenging plant experiments to

47
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:46,560
date in part because of the long

48
00:01:50,789 --> 00:01:48,320
germination and growing times of the

49
00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:50,799
peppers nasa astronaut shane kimbrough

50
00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:53,200
initiated the experiment on july 12 and

51
00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:55,920
the peppers will grow for 120 days with

52
00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:58,000
astronauts harvesting the chilis in late

53
00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:01,119
october and then again in early november

54
00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:02,560
that's space to ground thanks for
