first time 109 00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:31,270 crew 4 is the fourth crew rotation 110 00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:35,040 flight for the spacex dragon vehicle 111 00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:37,520 crew 4's goals are to 112 00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:39,280 safely and successfully get to the 113 00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:41,520 international space station and then to 114 00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:43,600 spend the a lot of time living and 115 00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:45,120 working in space 116 00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:47,360 meeting all of the planned research and 117 00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:49,759 science and maintenance goals of the 118 00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:51,919 space station program we are all like 119 00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:54,000 super excited about the opportunity to 120 00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:56,960 fly on a crew dragon spacecraft that 121 00:05:03,510 --> 00:05:00,479 vehicle is a super complex modern 122 00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:03,520 vehicle that enables us to get to space 123 00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:06,400 efficiently and safely 124 00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:09,360 my role as pilot on the dragon vehicle 125 00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:11,759 is primarily to monitor and maintain the 126 00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:14,320 systems of the vehicle itself to get a 127 00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:15,680 chance to pilot one of the newest 128 00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:18,479 vehicles on or off the planet is a true 129 00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:20,000 honor 130 00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:23,039 getting selected for crew 4 was 131 00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:25,520 was amazing because it it's it's an 132 00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:27,360 opportunity to go back to the 133 00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:29,440 international space station and 134 00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,039 experience again that transformation 135 00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:35,520 from being an earthbound creature to 136 00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:37,360 being this 137 00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:39,120 living creature 138 00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:40,720 when you get to space station the yeah 139 00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:43,280 the first thing that really strikes is 140 00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:45,600 this feeling of weightlessness i'm so 141 00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:47,759 excited to revisit the space station it 142 00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:48,800 was home 143 00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:51,360 for five months back in 2015. 144 00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:53,680 you know we arrived on orbit and really 145 00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:55,680 within a couple of days my brain 146 00:06:00,309 --> 00:05:58,319 adjusted to the idea of floating not 147 00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:00,319 that i was good at it but the novelty of 148 00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:02,960 it i think that the fact that our brains 149 00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:05,360 can adapt to something that is so novel 150 00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:06,800 so different something that we're 151 00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:08,800 completely and accustomed to for all of 152 00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:10,800 our lives and that it can just just 153 00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:13,520 adapt like that is absolutely amazing 154 00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:15,919 the international space station is a 155 00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:19,360 national laboratory built to do science 156 00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:21,680 the connecting element between all the 157 00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:23,520 experiments that we do up there is the 158 00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:25,440 space environment and specifically 159 00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:27,360 weightlessness microgravity as the 160 00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:29,120 scientists like to say 161 00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:31,360 when you're dealing with complex systems 162 00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:33,280 one way to learn how they work is to 163 00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:35,520 start removing variables we're able to 164 00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:37,520 do a lot of that down here on earth but 165 00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:38,960 one of the things that we have a 166 00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:40,800 challenge doing and we can't do is 167 00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:43,280 remove the effects of gravity and so by 168 00:06:46,629 --> 00:06:44,800 taking things to the international space 169 00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:46,639 station we can remove that and we can 170 00:06:51,189 --> 00:06:49,360 see how these complex systems work how 171 00:06:53,189 --> 00:06:51,199 things grow how they develop we do so 172 00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:53,199 much research up there that not only 173 00:06:58,390 --> 00:06:56,000 helps technologies and development down 174 00:07:00,390 --> 00:06:58,400 here on earth but it is also aiding 175 00:07:01,589 --> 00:07:00,400 nasa's pivot back into deep space 176 00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:01,599 exploration 177 00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:03,440 the work that we do every day helps us 178 00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:05,840 to better understand how the human body 179 00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:08,080 changes in weightlessness and to 180 00:07:12,070 --> 00:07:09,840 understand how to do the operations like 181 00:07:13,589 --> 00:07:12,080 space walks and robotic arm activities 182 00:07:16,309 --> 00:07:13,599 that are necessary 183 00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:16,319 for us to be successful in lunar orbit 184 00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:18,240 on the lunar surface and on our way to 185 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:21,120 mars we get this awesome opportunity to 186 00:07:26,790 --> 00:07:24,160 be representatives of humanity of all of 187 00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:26,800 you and we don't take that lightly we're 188 00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:28,160 super honored to have that 189 00:07:35,260 -->

occupied by a flat shape or 213 00:09:15,710 --> 00:09:13,120 surface of an object whereas volume is 214 00:09:18,310 --> 00:09:15,720 the amount of space occupied inside a 215 00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:18,320 three-dimensional object 216 00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:20,480 length times width will give you the 217 00:09:25,269 --> 00:09:23,120 area of a square take the area of a 218 00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:25,279 square and multiply that by its height 219 00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:27,600 to get the volume of a cube 220 00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:30,160 for example here's a cube that is 2 221 00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:33,200 meters long by 2 meters wide by 2 meters 222 00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:34,160 high 223 00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:36,160 multiply those dimensions and you get 224 00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:38,320 eight cubic meters of volume 225 00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:40,160 but that's only one way to calculate 226 00:09:43,829 --> 00:09:41,120 volume 227 00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:43,839 cones cylinders and spheres all have 228 00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:45,680 different formulas to calculate their 229 00:09:49,190 --> 00:09:46,800 volumes 230 00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:49,200 to calculate the volume of a cylinder we 231 00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:51,360 take the area of the circle 232 00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:54,240 pi times the radius squared and multiply 233 00:09:58,070 --> 00:09:56,320 that by the length of the cylinder 234 00:10:01,110 --> 00:09:58,080 in the destiny module we have a 235 00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:01,120 pressurized volume of approximately 106 236 00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:04,959 cubic meters or 3700 cubic feet 237 00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:06,800 that's a lot of space for us to live and 238 00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:08,320 work 239 00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:10,640 destiny is the primary research lab for 240 00:10:16,230 --> 00:10:13,360 us payloads supporting a wide range of 241 00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:16,240 experiments and studies contributing to 242 00:10:21,430 --> 00:10:19,120 health safety and quality of life for 243 00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:21,440 people all over the world engineers 244 00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:23,760 designed these cylindrical modules for 245 00:10:27,950 --> 00:10:26,000 astronauts to utilize the entire 246 00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:27,960 three-dimensional space 247 00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:29,120 [Music] 248 00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:31,040 so you've learned that destiny is a 249 00:10:34,949 --> 00:10:33,279 cylindrical shaped pressurized module 250 00:10:36,949 --> 00:10:34,959 but inside the space you can see that 251 00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:36,959 our interior space is a little bit more 252 00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:39,120 like a square so these racks are 253 00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:42,240 designed to fit against the walls of the 254 00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:44,800 circular cylindrical module and so the 255 00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:47,279 back of the rack is curved and the front 256 00:10:51,110 --> 00:10:49,440 of the rack is straight and so we can 257 00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:51,120 keep a variety of different kinds of 258 00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:52,880 experiments in different racks and we 259 00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:55,120 can also use the ceiling and the floor 260 00:10:59,990 --> 00:10:58,480 just as easily as if it were a wall so 261 00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:00,000 one of the places that we store some of 262 00:11:09,670 --> 00:11:07,590 you see we have these different kinds of 263 00:11:10,949 --> 00:11:09,680 bags that we store things in in these 264 00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:10,959 different 265 00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:13,040 kinds of cupboards 266 00:11:17,829 --> 00:11:15,600 we also can keep our medical kit up here 267 00:11:19,509 --> 00:11:17,839 out of the way so if anybody um gets a 268 00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:19,519 cut or a scraper needs some medicine we 269 00:11:22,470 --> 00:11:21,200 have different packs in here that have 270 00:11:25,829 --> 00:11:22,480 all the different things that we might 271 00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:28,470 i can also use space in the floor we 272 00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:30,640 actually have a window that's in our 273 00:11:48,949 --> 00:11:32,560 floor that looks straight down onto the 274 00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:50,389 i hope you learned a little bit about 275 00:11:53,430 --> 00:11:51,760 the importance of engineering and 276 00:11:54,629 --> 00:11:53,440 utilizing volume aboard the space 277 00:11:56,069 --> 00:11:54,639 station today 278 00:11:58,069 --> 00:11:56,079 use the corresponding classroom 279 00:11:59,670 --> 00:11:58,079 connection to learn more about area and 280 00:12:01,590 --> 00:11:59,680 volume and challenge yourself to 281 00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:01,600 redesign your own home and classroom for 282 00:12:07,269 --> 00:12:04,720 life and microgravity 283 00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:07,279 maybe one day you will be an engineer 284 00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:10,240 designing rooms for us up here in space 285 00:12:27,110 --> 00:12:13,190 see you next time 286 00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:29,670 although nasa is getting ready to return 287 00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:31,920 astronauts to the moon on upcoming 288 00:12:36,230 --> 00:12:34,160 missions of the artemis program 289 00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,240 geologists are still learning about the 290 00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:38,880 moon from soil samples collected there 291 00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:41,200 almost 50 years ago 292 00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:43,600 a team of lunar sample processors and 293 00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:45,760 curators at the johnson space center in 294 00:12:52,150 --> 00:12:49,279 houston along with apollo 17 astronaut 295 00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:52,160 and geologist harrison schmidt have been 296 00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:54,480 opening lunar samples collected on 297 00:13:03,240 --> 00:12:57,440 apollo 17 to be studied using the 298 00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:19,269 [Music] 299 00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:20,880 the first thing we do is we put it in 300 00:13:24,949 --> 00:13:22,959 this catapult looking device that you 301 00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:24,959 see here we call it the rocket launcher 302 00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:26,639 the end caps are taken off of the drive 303 00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:28,320 tube and then 304 00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:30,000 threaded metal rods with plates on the 305 00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:32,000 end were actually inserted into either 306 00:13:35,430 --> 00:13:33,680 end then the sample is picked up from 307 00:13:37,990 --> 00:13:35,440 the rocket launcher and it's put into 308 00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:38,000 this device over here with the wheel on 309 00:13:43,350 --> 00:13:40,800 it as that wheel gets turned very slowly 310 00:13:47,269 --> 00:13:43,360 the threads engage and the rod starts to 311 00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:48,470 that core 312 00:13:54,870 --> 00:13:51,839 uh was collected by gene cernan 313 00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:54,880 as i was working on the edge of a of a 314 00:13:58,629 --> 00:13:56,880 crater nearby 315 00:14:00,150 --> 00:13:58,639 one of the most important tools that we 316 00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:00,160 had was this 317 00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:03,440 core tube a double drive tube and 318 00:14:07,750 --> 00:14:05,279 you could drive these into the surface 319 00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:07,760 now still very difficult 320 00:14:13,030 --> 00:14:09,360 it was the best we had and we got a 321 00:14:15,829 --> 00:14:13,040 quite a number of very good cores that 322 00:14:18,069 --> 00:14:15,839 are giving us new information not only 323 00:14:20,629 --> 00:14:18,079 about the nature of this debris layer 324 00:14:23,910 --> 00:14:20,639 but also within those cores is a history 325 00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:25,829 it was anticipated early on in the 326 00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:27,279 apollo program 327 00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:28,320 that 328 00:14:33,910 --> 00:14:31,440 analytical technology would mature would 329 00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:33,920 become much more sophisticated with time 330 00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:35,920 that we could gain new information from 331 00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:38,320 the same old samples it makes it 332 00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:40,560 very very exciting for everybody in fact 333 00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:42,639 apollo never ended for lunar scientists 334 00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:44,480 our analytical techniques have gotten to 335 00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:46,160 the point where we can actually detect 336 00:14:50,230 --> 00:14:48,240 the water that is in some of these 337 00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:50,240 ancient ludar rocks we've actually been 338 00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:51,920 able to constrain 339 00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:53,680 that there is a common history and a 340 00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:55,360 common source between the earthman 341 00:14:59,110 --> 00:14:57,120 system which is what we have learned 342 00:15:01,430 --> 00:14:59,120 previously by other studies of the 343 00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:01,440 apollo lunar samples that we have 344 00:15:07,030 --> 00:15:04,240 x-ray computed tomography or xct now 345 00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:07,040 this is a way for us to actually look at 346 00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:08,800 the three-dimensional structure of a 347 00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:16,310 there's a whole industry of engineers 348 00:15:20,550 --> 00:15:18,480 who are studying how to extract 349 00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:20,560 resources from the moon and so one of 350 00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:21,920 the things that we want to do during 351 00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:23,600 artemis is actually test out some of 352 00:15:27,430 --> 00:15:25,680 these new technologies and see how 353 00:15:29,350 --> 00:15:27,440 effective they are at extracting the 354 00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:29,360 water in these other materials thinking 355 00:15:34,069 --> 00:15:31,360 forward to mars we've only ever sent 356 00:15:35,910 --> 00:15:34,079 robotic missions to mars and so when we 357 00:15:37,749 --> 00:15:35,920 send people to mars these are things 358 00:15:40,550 --> 00:15:37,759 we're going to have to consider so this 359 00:15:42,629 --> 00:15:40,560 corps has a multitude of the information 360 00:15:44,629 --> 00:15:42,639 to give us and we're as you can tell i 361 00:15:46,550 --> 00:15:44,639 think all of us are very excited about 362 00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:46,560 getting a chance to work on it there's a 363 00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:48,720 lot we don't know about the rest of the 364 00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:50,800 moon and there's a lot we don't know 365 00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:52,639 about in between these various sites 366 00:15:57,430 --> 00:15:55,360 that apollo landed at and so gathering 367 00:15:58,949 --> 00:15:57,440 new information particularly from the 368 00:16:01,269 --> 00:15:58,959 south pole but there are many other 369 00:16:03,670 --> 00:16:01,279 areas on the far side that will start to 370 00:16:05,829 --> 00:16:03,680 define much more 371 00:16:07,829 --> 00:16:05,839 give us much more information about 372 00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:07,839 lunar science you have to remember that 373 00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:10,240 everything we're learning about the moon 374 00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:12,480 relates to the very early history of the 375 00:16:18,110 --> 00:16:14,560 solar system and particularly to the 376 00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:18,120 very early history of the earth 377 00:16:37,189 --> 00:16:33,910 astronauts have been taking pictures of 378 00:16:40,069 --> 00:16:37,199 earth from space for over 60 years now 379 00:16:42,389 --> 00:16:40,079 more than four million still photos and 380 00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:42,399 many thousands of hours of film and 381 00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:44,880 video have been taken for reasons both 382 00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:47,680 artistic and scientific and to 383 00:16:52,870 --> 00:16:50,399 demonstrate to us the changes that the 384 00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:52,880 earth has experienced over the years 385 00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:55,360 take a look 386 00:16:59,030 --> 00:16:57,600 these pictures depict the magnificent 387 00:17:00,870 --> 00:16:59,040 wonders of our planet 388 00:17:05,669 --> 00:17:00,880 [Music] 389 00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:05,679 yet they weren't taken anywhere on earth 390 00:17:10,309 --> 00:17:08,079 instead they were captured by astronauts 391 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:10,319 aboard the international space station 392 00:17:14,150 --> 00:17:12,240 to chronicle the fragile beauty and 393 00:17:16,470 --> 00:17:14,160 ever-changing landscape of our 394 00:17:21,909 --> 00:17:16,480 collective home 395 00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:21,919 [Music] 396 00:17:27,189 --> 00:17:24,880 to date over 4 million photos taken by 397 00:17:29,350 --> 00:17:27,199 humans from space have been collected 398 00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:29,360 from the earliest days of the mercury 399 00:17:34,150 --> 00:17:31,760 and gemini missions to the ones taken 400 00:17:36,310 --> 00:17:34,160 aboard the space station and all are 401 00:17:39,270 --> 00:17:36,320 freely available to researchers 402 00:17:41,110 --> 00:17:39,280 scientists and the public worldwide 403 00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:41,120 these photographs are taken for many 404 00:17:46,710 --> 00:17:44,559 purposes from artistic to the scientific 405 00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:46,720 and have proven to have a wide range of 406 00:17:50,549 --> 00:17:48,080 uses 407 00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:50,559 a powerful use of crew photography is to 408 00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:52,799 study changes to our planet over long 409 00:17:56,710 --> 00:17:54,640 periods of time 410 00:17:58,950 --> 00:17:56,720 the tashka lakes and lake nasser in 411 00:18:01,110 --> 00:17:58,960 egypt for example have been photographed 412 00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:01,120 on a regular basis from the station over 413 00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:03,600 the past 20 years 414 00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:05,360 this is partially because the water 415 00:18:09,909 --> 00:18:06,960 levels in these lakes change 416 00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:09,919 dramatically on a month-to-month basis 417 00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:11,919 constantly affecting agriculture in the 418 00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:12,960 region 419 00:18:17,590 --> 00:18:15,440 researchers able to observe these bodies 420 00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:17,600 of water over a long period of time 421 00:18:23,590 --> 00:18:20,480 using crew photography can ask is their 422 00:18:26,710 --> 00:18:23,600 volume more or less stable over time 423 00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:26,720 or are they slowly losing their water 424 00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:28,960 andrea wenzel is a geoscientist for the 425 00:18:34,549 --> 00:18:31,280 earth science and remote sensing unit 426 00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:34,559 who manage requests for crew photography 427 00:18:38,470 --> 00:18:36,400 she notes the flexibility that a crew 428 00:18:39,830 --> 00:18:38,480 member offers when taking a picture of 429 00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:39,840 earth 430 00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:41,760 a satellite generally takes the same 431 00:18:47,029 --> 00:18:44,160 photos over the same locations in the 432 00:18:49,029 --> 00:18:47,039 same orientation over and over 433 00:18:51,110 --> 00:18:49,039 astronauts on the other hand can use 434 00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:51,120 different lenses to take photos with 435 00:18:55,270 --> 00:18:52,720 different fields of view 436 00:18:57,029 --> 00:18:55,280 from close up to wide shots 437 00:18:59,190 --> 00:18:57,039 the cupola on the bottom of the space 438 00:19:00,390 --> 00:18:59,200 station allows for a panoramic view 439 00:19:01,909 --> 00:19:00,400 straight down 440 00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:01,919 or the crew members can elect to 441 00:19:05,350 --> 00:19:03,760 photograph an image that includes the 442 00:19:07,350 --> 00:19:05,360 horizon 443 00:19:09,909 --> 00:19:07,360 and because the space station flies an 444 00:19:12,390 --> 00:19:09,919 asynchronous orbit around earth it can 445 00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:12,400 capture images at any time of day or 446 00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:13,840 night 447 00:19:17,830 --> 00:19:15,840 wenzo notes that the vienema glacier at 448 00:19:19,990 --> 00:19:17,840 the southern end of south america is a 449 00:19:22,830 --> 00:19:20,000 good example of a moving earth feature 450 00:19:25,669 --> 00:19:22,840 being observed by crew photography over 451 00:19:27,909 --> 00:19:25,679 time there's been a significant decrease 452 00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:27,919 in the glacier's length over the years 453 00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:30,000 and the photos allow researchers to 454 00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:32,799 observe the path the glacier is taking 455 00:19:36,150 --> 00:19:34,480 and correlate that to climate change 456 00:19:38,549 --> 00:19:36,160 data 457 00:19:40,950 --> 00:19:38,559 the crew can also be asked to capture an 458 00:19:44,870 --> 00:19:40,960 event like a hurricane 459 00:19:47,669 --> 00:19:44,880 wildfire flood or volcanic eruption 460 00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:47,679 this image shows flooding in colombia 461 00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:49,760 wenzel says it was one of a series of 462 00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:51,760 photos that was used by international 463 00:19:55,270 --> 00:19:53,840 first responders to update their flood 464 00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:55,280 maps 465 00:19:59,190 --> 00:19:57,440 as a result they launched an operation 466 00:20:01,669 --> 00:19:59,200 to rescue the inhabitants of local 467 00:20:03,590 --> 00:20:01,679 villages who were stuck in place due to 468 00:20:06,390 --> 00:20:03,600 rising water 469 00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:06,400 astronauts often say the most remarkable 470 00:20:10,549 --> 00:20:08,240 thing about seeing earth from the space 471 00:20:12,870 --> 00:20:10,559 station is viewing our planet across 472 00:20:15,270 --> 00:20:12,880 climate zones and continents without 473 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:15,280 borders drawn on a map 474 00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:17,280 fortunately for those of us still on the 475 00:20:21,669 --> 00:20:19,760 ground their photographic skills allow 476 00:20:24,950 --> 00:20:21,679 us to see what they see 477 00:20:35,909 --> 00:20:24,960 now and over decades of time 478 00:20:41,350 --> 00:20:38,549 and a special treat today the first 479 00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:41,360 episode of a new season of the down to 480 00:20:46,230 --> 00:20:43,760 earth series it's not just a chance to 481 00:20:47,750 --> 00:20:46,240 hear astronauts sharing their experience 482 00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:47,760 of looking down at earth from the 483 00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:49,760 international space station although it 484 00:20:53,590 --> 00:20:50,880 is that 485 00:20:55,669 --> 00:20:53,600 but this season kicks off with two-time 486 00:20:58,710 --> 00:20:55,679 station crew member sunny williams 487 00:21:01,590 --> 00:20:58,720 interviewed by a student who knows how 488 00:21:03,590 --> 00:21:01,600 to ask the right questions 489 00:21:05,350 --> 00:21:03,600 hi my name is adrian crotty and i am 490 00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:05,360 studying environmental studies today 491 00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:07,120 i'll be sitting down with astronaut suni 492 00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:08,880 williams i was curious to know how 493 00:21:13,029 --> 00:21:11,280 seeing the earth from space changed her 494 00:21:15,430 --> 00:21:13,039 perspective on the work that she did 495 00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:15,440 from space and the life that she lives 496 00:21:18,630 --> 00:21:17,120 now when she's back on the planet thank 497 00:21:20,710 --> 00:21:18,640 you for watching the premiere of season 498 00:21:25,970 --> 00:21:20,720 two down to earth follow along for more 499 00:21:33,909 --> 00:21:32,950 [Music] 500 00:21:35,190 --> 00:21:33,919 so 501 00:21:37,990 --> 00:21:35,200 i have a few questions as you might 502 00:21:40,549 --> 00:21:38,000 guess um and to start with i'd like to 503 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:40,559 know what is one thing about living and 504 00:21:44,710 --> 00:21:42,960 working in space that most people 505 00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:44,720 who have never been to space might not 506 00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:46,880 know about or understand well that's a 507 00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:48,880 good question and i'm not just saying 508 00:21:52,950 --> 00:21:50,880 that to fill time 509 00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:52,960 there's just there's a whole bunch of 510 00:21:57,669 --> 00:21:55,120 interesting things to talk about i think 511 00:21:59,510 --> 00:21:57,679 probably people think it's pretty nice 512 00:22:00,870 --> 00:21:59,520 that you can go and float around up 513 00:22:03,510 --> 00:22:00,880 there 514 00:22:05,909 --> 00:22:03,520 but that has some consequences to it you 515 00:22:08,710 --> 00:22:05,919 know of course i think our bodies need 516 00:22:10,630 --> 00:22:08,720 to adapt to going to space 517 00:22:13,350 --> 00:22:10,640 the initial getting the space like whoa 518 00:22:15,430 --> 00:22:13,360 you know it's a big adaptation but you 519 00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:15,440 feel like you like we're there okay so 520 00:22:19,350 --> 00:22:17,200 now i can float around okay maybe i'm a 521 00:22:21,029 --> 00:22:19,360 little clumsy but i think what people 522 00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:21,039 don't recognize is 523 00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:23,520 your whole being starts to adapt and it 524 00:22:28,070 --> 00:22:26,000 does take time folks had said in the 525 00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:28,080 past that maybe a month i didn't believe 526 00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:29,679 it i think most people don't believe it 527 00:22:35,590 --> 00:22:32,400 but you can really see how people become 528 00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:35,600 so natural up in space after about a 529 00:22:40,310 --> 00:22:38,320 month and how smoothly they fly and 530 00:22:43,190 --> 00:22:40,320 actually how that translated to me as a 531 00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:43,200 reality it was like i was like i don't 532 00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:44,960 know what it would be like to walk when 533 00:22:47,909 --> 00:22:46,400 i was up there there was through the 534 00:22:50,149 --> 00:22:47,919 center of the stack there was a module 535 00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:50,159 that went down and that was essentially 536 00:22:54,789 --> 00:22:52,480 our closet but it was pretty deep it's 537 00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:54,799 probably like 30 feet down 538 00:22:58,630 --> 00:22:57,120 and i'd float right over it and i was 539 00:23:01,110 --> 00:22:58,640 thinking to myself 540 00:23:03,510 --> 00:23:01,120 i don't even think twice about this like 541 00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:03,520 if i was walking i'd be like oh you know 542 00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:05,520 like what do i have to do here and i i 543 00:23:10,950 --> 00:23:07,600 actually sort of forgot what it was like 544 00:23:13,190 --> 00:23:10,960 to walk around that your body your brain 545 00:23:14,950 --> 00:23:13,200 your body can all just sort of 546 00:23:16,149 --> 00:23:14,960 live or change to the environment that 547 00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:16,159 you're in i thought that was pretty 548 00:23:19,590 --> 00:23:17,840 fascinating that doesn't it reminds me 549 00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:19,600 of the videos that you can see of 550 00:23:22,149 --> 00:23:20,720 astronauts when they come back and 551 00:23:23,510 --> 00:23:22,159 they're holding something and let go and 552 00:23:25,270 --> 00:23:23,520 then it just falls 553 00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:25,280 yep that's all one time and then you go 554 00:23:28,630 --> 00:23:26,720 okay i got it 555 00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:28,640 gravity is back 556 00:23:31,270 --> 00:23:30,000 it also reminds me of if you're ever 557 00:23:32,310 --> 00:23:31,280 like on a boat for an extended period 558 00:23:34,950 --> 00:23:32,320 and you get back on land and then you 559 00:23:37,110 --> 00:23:34,960 have the sea legs exactly 560 00:23:38,549 --> 00:23:37,120 would you say that that or was there 561 00:23:40,549 --> 00:23:38,559 something else what that was the biggest 562 00:23:42,470 --> 00:23:40,559 adjustment for you in space i think that 563 00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:42,480 was the biggest i think a close second 564 00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:44,880 is uh losing things i think one of the 565 00:23:48,390 --> 00:23:46,720 most annoying things is like when you 566 00:23:49,750 --> 00:23:48,400 think just for a second you're like you 567 00:23:51,110 --> 00:23:49,760 just let something go it's just gonna be 568 00:23:53,269 --> 00:23:51,120 there for just a second and you turn 569 00:23:54,870 --> 00:23:53,279 around and some air current takes it and 570 00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:54,880 you'll see a lot of video of people 571 00:23:58,310 --> 00:23:57,200 doing this 572 00:23:59,909 --> 00:23:58,320 and that's because they're looking for 573 00:24:01,510 --> 00:23:59,919 something and that's i think one of the 574 00:24:03,669 --> 00:24:01,520 most annoying things about being in 575 00:24:05,029 --> 00:24:03,679 space and so good pants a good flight 576 00:24:06,549 --> 00:24:05,039 suit like this with lots of pockets is 577 00:24:08,710 --> 00:24:06,559 really beneficial 578 00:24:10,789 --> 00:24:08,720 what is it like being once you're in 579 00:24:12,310 --> 00:24:10,799 orbit seeing earth from the first time 580 00:24:13,430 --> 00:24:12,320 from so far away 581 00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:13,440 ridiculous 582 00:24:17,110 --> 00:24:15,360 it's awesome i was actually on the mid 583 00:24:18,870 --> 00:24:17,120 deck of the space shuttle discovery that 584 00:24:20,470 --> 00:24:18,880 took me up there and i was working and 585 00:24:21,830 --> 00:24:20,480 you know we got to space and you know 586 00:24:23,510 --> 00:24:21,840 things start floating and that was fun 587 00:24:25,430 --> 00:24:23,520 and i'm chuckling about that and the 588 00:24:27,029 --> 00:24:25,440 commander in the pilot up in the front 589 00:24:29,269 --> 00:24:27,039 seats of the shuttle commander said 590 00:24:31,909 --> 00:24:29,279 sonny come on up and so he i flew up 591 00:24:33,669 --> 00:24:31,919 there and he gave me my little wings and 592 00:24:35,830 --> 00:24:33,679 what was more impressive i was like oh 593 00:24:37,830 --> 00:24:35,840 that's nice but i looked out the window 594 00:24:40,070 --> 00:24:37,840 i was like oh my god there's earth and 595 00:24:41,909 --> 00:24:40,080 it's round it's like they were right you 596 00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:41,919 know it's super cool and it's just 597 00:24:46,870 --> 00:24:44,159 seeing that planet you know in that view 598 00:24:48,870 --> 00:24:46,880 is just amazing and you just can't get 599 00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:48,880 sick of it every opportunity i think 600 00:24:51,350 --> 00:24:50,000 everybody has who lives on the 601 00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:51,360 international space station we have this 602 00:24:55,669 --> 00:24:53,840 amazing cupola window now we have two 603 00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:55,679 windows that look out by the gem so you 604 00:24:59,590 --> 00:24:57,120 could see the curvature of the earth 605 00:25:02,070 --> 00:24:59,600 from those two venues and it's just 606 00:25:04,630 --> 00:25:02,080 compelling i mean you can spend all day 607 00:25:06,230 --> 00:25:04,640 sitting there watching our planet 608 00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:06,240 another transition you know sort of like 609 00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:08,080 your body adapting initially i was 610 00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:09,760 always trying to find places that i knew 611 00:25:13,590 --> 00:25:11,760 like of course like houston or where i 612 00:25:15,909 --> 00:25:13,600 grew up in massachusetts or where my dad 613 00:25:18,070 --> 00:25:15,919 was from in india highlighting little 614 00:25:20,390 --> 00:25:18,080 pieces and parts of the earth for the 615 00:25:22,390 --> 00:25:20,400 people which is of course very important 616 00:25:25,029 --> 00:25:22,400 but after time 617 00:25:27,269 --> 00:25:25,039 i think i started getting more joy out 618 00:25:29,190 --> 00:25:27,279 of looking at our planet as a planet 619 00:25:30,789 --> 00:25:29,200 like watching algae blooms and all 620 00:25:34,630 --> 00:25:30,799 sudden in the ocean someplace there's 621 00:25:36,950 --> 00:25:34,640 this huge amazing blue spot or how the 622 00:25:39,590 --> 00:25:36,960 ice forms and flows 623 00:25:41,669 --> 00:25:39,600 up in the north atlantic with swirls or 624 00:25:42,870 --> 00:25:41,679 how the clouds are moving 625 00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:42,880 that was 626 00:25:47,110 --> 00:25:44,880 another transition you look at it like 627 00:25:49,269 --> 00:25:47,120 it's a living system the environment is 628 00:25:50,789 --> 00:25:49,279 absolutely living the oceans are living 629 00:25:52,070 --> 00:25:50,799 it's all changing 630 00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:52,080 right below you 631 00:25:55,590 --> 00:25:54,000 it seems like you know as we sit here on 632 00:25:57,190 --> 00:25:55,600 earth we don't see all that happening 633 00:25:59,669 --> 00:25:57,200 but when you look at it from that you 634 00:26:01,590 --> 00:25:59,679 know macro perspective finally it took a 635 00:26:03,350 --> 00:26:01,600 little while but that's how i viewed 636 00:26:05,510 --> 00:26:03,360 earth it's a pretty cool 637 00:26:06,870 --> 00:26:05,520 planet and i'm sure it's even more 638 00:26:08,390 --> 00:26:06,880 because it's not just the still picture 639 00:26:09,750 --> 00:26:08,400 you're watching it just like grow and 640 00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:09,760 transform right in front of you right in 641 00:26:13,990 --> 00:26:12,240 front of you yeah before you saw it from 642 00:26:16,070 --> 00:26:14,000 that perspective uh did you have any 643 00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:16,080 expectations about what you were going 644 00:26:20,390 --> 00:26:19,200 to see uh yeah of course i mean i was uh 645 00:26:21,990 --> 00:26:20,400 you know whenever i would get a little 646 00:26:23,990 --> 00:26:22,000 bit bummed out here for some whatever 647 00:26:25,590 --> 00:26:24,000 reason missing missing my family or 648 00:26:27,510 --> 00:26:25,600 whatever i would take a little trek over 649 00:26:29,990 --> 00:26:27,520 to space center houston and watch an 650 00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:30,000

00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:38,320 foundation a baseline of what you might 654 00:26:41,990 --> 00:26:39,840 see but when you actually see it for 655 00:26:43,990 --> 00:26:42,000 your own two eyes one of the reasons i 656 00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:44,000 feel like everybody on this planet needs 657 00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:46,240 to take a lap around our planet go to 658 00:26:48,870 --> 00:26:48,000 space
