[Music]

2
00:00:17,189 --> 00:00:15,749
what did i bring on this mission i

3
00:00:18,550 --> 00:00:17,199
bought my brought my wedding ring it's

4
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:18,560
not on my finger but it's always been on

5
00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:20,320
my watch band

6
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:22,640
and was i up tied down a lot every time

7
00:00:26,230 --> 00:00:24,560
i needed to be upside down

8
00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:26,240
i did it and i got really comfortable

9
00:00:31,429 --> 00:00:28,840
flipping directions no hands

10
00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:31,439
so that's one of the joys about space

11
00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:34,079
flight now that you've set a record of

12
00:00:39,190 --> 00:00:36,719
consecutive number of days in space have

13
00:00:39,990 --> 00:00:39,200
you decided to make any changes in your

14
00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:40,000
life

15
00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:42,559
to get outside as much as possible i've

16
00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:46,559
had an indoor job 24 7 for almost a year

17
00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:48,239
so i'm looking forward to being outside

18
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:50,079
no matter what kind of weather

19
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:52,640
has spending time in space changed my

20
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,600
view

21
00:00:57,830 --> 00:00:55,680
of our home planet

22
00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:57,840
the big change in how i view the planet

23
00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:59,039
is really

24
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:00,879
this concept that we all have as

25
00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:04,000
earthlings of being separate from space

26
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:06,320
having been up here looking down on the

27
00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:08,799
earth from outside the atmosphere

28
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:11,439
to me that atmosphere right now looks so

29
00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:12,880
thin

30
00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:13,680
that

31
00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:15,040
back on earth

32
00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:17,200
it seems much clearer to me that when

33
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:19,119
you're standing outside looking up at

34
00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:20,320
the stars

35
00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:22,720
you're really in space

36
00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:24,880
the only thing separating you from the

37
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:27,280
vacuum of space is that precious thin

38
00:01:31,429 --> 00:01:29,520
layer of atmosphere that we call home

39
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:31,439
how important was your mission to the

40
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:34,000
space station to our planet and to

41
00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:36,240
yourself as a human being

42
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:38,880
every day there's 60 to 100 experiments

43
00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:40,720
going on at any given time now we don't

44
00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:42,399
operate those experiments all the time

45
00:01:45,429 --> 00:01:44,399
but they are on the space station in

46
00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:45,439
progress

47
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:48,479
and i really believe that all the days

48
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:50,560
we spent on the space station the money

49
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:53,280
we've invested the talent we've invested

50
00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:56,320
will there continue to

51
00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:58,399
result in fantastic scientific

52
00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:00,799
discoveries and will just help humans

53
00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:01,840
progress

54
00:02:05,910 --> 00:02:03,680
what scientific experiment did i like

55
00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:05,920
working on the most and why

56
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:08,800
a unique experience we had with growing

57
00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:10,640
hatch chili peppers

58
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:12,400
and the reason i like it so much is

59
00:02:18,229 --> 00:02:14,640
because when i opened up

60
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:18,239
that cover and could smell those peppers

61
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:21,360
it was such a shocking difference this

62
00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:23,840
smell of plants and vegetation

63
00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:26,720
it was amazing and then we got to eat

64
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:29,680
the peppers so that was a huge bonus

65
00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:31,920
what was my most memorable experiment

66
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:33,360
experience

67
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:36,000
on the international space station

68
00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:38,080
i would say on this trip it has been

69
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:40,560
some of the auroras we've seen either

70
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:43,440
the aurora astralis down south or the

71
00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:45,840
aurora borealis up north

72
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:48,879
i just had this incredible sense of

73
00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:50,800
witnessing something

74
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:53,280
that was timeless i'm really looking

75
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:54,560
forward to seeing you all again and

76
00:03:04,470 --> 00:02:56,160
can't we get great to get back home to
