2
00:00:15,910 --> 00:00:14,320
after viewing earth in orbit

3
00:00:19,029 --> 00:00:15,920
do you feel like it has fostered a

4
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:19,039
greater sense of sensitivity towards the

5
00:00:23,509 --> 00:00:20,800
well-being of our planet and the

6
00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:23,519
planet's environment for you oh my gosh

7
00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:25,840
yeah i mean when you look at that planet

8
00:00:29,669 --> 00:00:27,599
you know like i said from the first time

9
00:00:31,029 --> 00:00:29,679
i saw it out the windows of the shuttle

10
00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:31,039
until like

11
00:00:34,229 --> 00:00:32,559
you know looking out the cupola or going

12
00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:34,239
out for a spacewalk i mean you just

13
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:36,320
can't help but thinking like going back

14
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:37,760
to the very beginning like there are

15
00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:39,760
people down there and those people are

16
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:42,879
are only not only people heck there's

17
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:45,120
trees and plants and and animals that

18
00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:46,640
are on that planet and the only reason

19
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:49,280
that they're there is because this

20
00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:51,840
miracle that has our planet have all the

21
00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:54,800
right things at this time right and so

22
00:00:57,670 --> 00:00:56,800
everything that we know and we love is

23
00:01:00,229 --> 00:00:57,680
only

24
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:00,239
here because of the way the planet is in

25
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:03,760
its lifetime at this moment in time so

26
00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:05,760
you can't help thinking about we're

27
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:07,520
pretty uh bold to think that we should

28
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:09,200
have the right to change it let it

29
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:11,680
change over time i mean we are like one

30
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:13,360
planet in our solar system you know our

31
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,560
sun is only going to be around for so

32
00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:16,320
long a little longer than you and i will

33
00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:18,159
be alive so that's sort of convenient

34
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:20,159
for us but maybe inconvenient for later

35
00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:22,080
but you know our planet is going to

36
00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:25,200
evolve as it should and we should be

37
00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:27,119
really good stewards of it just to make

38
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:29,119
sure that it does it as naturally as it

39
00:01:33,749 --> 00:01:31,520
does it for the sake of all the

40
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:33,759
living things on this planet and our

41
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:36,000
planet is alive too i mean that's what's

42
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:37,920
i think really super compelling from

43
00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:40,479
space you can actually see it

44
00:01:45,429 --> 00:01:42,399
you know not like on a daily basis but

45
00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:45,439
on a yearly basis you know specifically

46
00:01:50,149 --> 00:01:47,520
pictures from space

47
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:50,159
10 years 20 years 30 years ago we can

48
00:01:54,789 --> 00:01:52,720
see things changing some of it just as

49
00:01:56,789 --> 00:01:54,799
it does for itself some of it as a

50
00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:56,799
reaction to us

51
00:02:01,510 --> 00:01:58,799
and i think we should be conscientious

52
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:01,520
of what our impact is and try to

53
00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:04,000
minimalize that as much as possible so

54
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:05,840
that we can all live on this planet

55
00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:08,640
happily and healthily like i said not

56
00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:10,239
only the humans humans are only one part

57
00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:12,480
of it but everything else that

58
00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:14,800
on our planet so we've been

59
00:02:19,990 --> 00:02:17,520
traveling into space maybe not for a

60
00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:20,000
very long time but for

61
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:21,440
a bit

62
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:23,360
do you think this is a similar

63
00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:25,440
experience that astronauts even in the

64
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:27,200
past and anyone who's

65
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:29,360
been able to have that same perspective

66
00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:30,800
on our planet do you think that they

67
00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:32,800
have had a similar feeling and how do

68
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:34,560
you think that that has evolved through

69
00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:36,800
the decades yeah i'm sure that i'm sure

70
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:38,319
they have but in the very beginning you

71
00:02:41,509 --> 00:02:39,440
know before we had satellites we

72
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:41,519
probably didn't have as many you know

73
00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:44,160
overarching views of what's going on

74
00:02:48,309 --> 00:02:46,319
over over the long term

75
00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:48,319
in geological time it's a blink of an

76
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:50,239
eye but like over the long term for our

77
00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:53,360
human existence here um i think we're

78
00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:55,280
it's becoming more and more obvious that

79
00:02:59,990 --> 00:02:57,360
we have an impact like i mentioned i

80
00:03:01,270 --> 00:03:00,000
think folks all need to take the lap

81
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:01,280
around the planet because then you can

82
00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:03,280
see you know the frailty of it you know

83
00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:06,480
like our atmosphere is so thin it's

84
00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:08,480
ridiculous like i think you know when we

85
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,239
look up to the sky we think oh you know

86
00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:12,640
there's plenty of you know oxygen to

87
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,959
breathe you know we're fine when you

88
00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:16,560
step away from the planet and you see

89
00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:18,879
that's just this little thin layer and

90
00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:20,480
that's it between

91
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:22,400
um you know we're only at 250 miles

92
00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:24,720
above the above the earth and it's a

93
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:27,280
totally inhospitable place to be you

94
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:30,000
know it's hot super hot super cold you

95
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:31,280
know obviously there's no oxygen the

96
00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:33,440
vacuum of space you cannot live there uh

97
00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:35,680
unless you have a space station and that

98
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:36,640
is

99
00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:39,920
probably know we're always doing

100
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:41,360
maintenance on the space station so

101
00:03:45,830 --> 00:03:43,840
we're always fixing it so there's no way

102
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:45,840
we could really sustain ourselves in

103
00:03:51,030 --> 00:03:48,879
space so we need to really take care of

104
00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:51,040
our planet and it's the place that we

105
00:03:54,309 --> 00:03:52,319
all live and where we're from we

106
00:03:56,710 --> 00:03:54,319
absolutely need to take care of it

107
00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:56,720
you're in the into the environment and

108
00:04:00,630 --> 00:03:58,640
like everybody should be and i'm so

109
00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:00,640
proud of you at your young age to be

110
00:04:04,149 --> 00:04:02,319
thinking about that have that on the

111
00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:04,159
forefront of your mind it's pretty cool

112
00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:06,159
i think i'm particularly interested in

113
00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:08,879
the environment because yes

114
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:11,599
the planet i love it every like if we

115
00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:13,200
want to keep living and we want

116
00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:14,879
everybody to keep

117
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:17,759
continuing to have the full lives that

118
00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:20,400
they deserve and have the same thirst

119
00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:23,600
for life we need a planet that can

120
00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:26,160
give us that kind of shelter and that's

121
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:28,720
a two-way relationship um

122
00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:32,160
any passions i think

123
00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:35,600
music science whether it's like in space

124
00:04:39,189 --> 00:04:37,919
or on our planet you can't really have

125
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:39,199
those passions if you don't have a

126
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:42,160
planet to live on to experience them and

127
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:44,160
i think that's

128
00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:47,840
kind of what connects all people yeah

129
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:49,759
i agree i think everybody wants to have

130
00:05:02,710 --> 00:04:50,800
a

131
00:05:04,629 --> 00:05:02,720
it's it gives us so much we we need to

132
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:04,639
give back as we keep doing maintenance

133
00:05:08,070 --> 00:05:06,160
on the space station every day we need

134
00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:08,080
to do that back to our planet yep

135
00:05:12,140 --> 00:05:09,199
exactly
