1 00:00:05,950 --> 00:00:02,790 foreign 2 00:00:09,169 --> 00:00:05,960 [Music] 3 00:00:10,850 --> 00:00:09,179 I'm Kayla LaFrance the crew aboard the 4 00:00:13,610 --> 00:00:10,860 space station spent the week working 5 00:00:17,330 --> 00:00:13,620 hard on science payloads after receiving 6 00:00:19,010 --> 00:00:17,340 a special call last Friday the crew held 7 00:00:21,470 --> 00:00:19,020 a conference call with the vice 8 00:00:24,050 --> 00:00:21,480 president of the United States Kamala 9 00:00:26,029 --> 00:00:24,060 Harris the vice president who was on 10 00:00:28,429 --> 00:00:26,039 hand at Johnson Space Center last week 11 00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:28,439 to chair the National Space council 12 00:00:32,569 --> 00:00:30,720 meeting dropped by Mission Control to 13 00:00:35,389 --> 00:00:32,579 speak with NASA astronauts Chell 14 00:00:38,450 --> 00:00:35,399 Lindgren Bob Heinz and Jessica Watkins 15 00:00:40,850 --> 00:00:38,460 tell us what you are learning on the 16 00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:40,860 space station that is helping us be 17 00:00:46,369 --> 00:00:43,920 smarter around how we take care of Earth 18 00:00:48,110 --> 00:00:46,379 yes we are are honored and privileged to 19 00:00:49,310 --> 00:00:48,120 be able to use the International Space 20 00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:49,320 Station 21 00:00:54,709 --> 00:00:52,079 um as a test bed and as a laboratory to 22 00:00:57,229 --> 00:00:54,719 be able to learn lessons that we can 23 00:01:00,290 --> 00:00:57,239 apply to Earth so things like learning 24 00:01:02,810 --> 00:01:00,300 how to grow plants without soil and 25 00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:02,820 being able to use that back on Earth to 26 00:01:07,250 --> 00:01:05,040 help with food security learning about 27 00:01:09,410 --> 00:01:07,260 how immune cells age while we're up here 28 00:01:11,870 --> 00:01:09,420 and think about how we can help with 29 00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:11,880 immune cell aging back on Earth there's 30 00:01:16,250 --> 00:01:13,680 so many different aspects of what we do 31 00:01:17,890 --> 00:01:16,260 up here that can be applied to making 32 00:01:20,690 --> 00:01:17,900 Earth a better place 33 00:01:22,910 --> 00:01:20,700 European Space Agency astronaut Samantha 34 00:01:25,070 --> 00:01:22,920 Christopher Eddie kicked off the Foams 35 00:01:27,770 --> 00:01:25,080 and emulsions investigation aboard the 36 00:01:30,530 --> 00:01:27,780 orbine laboratory this week if you've 37 00:01:33,289 --> 00:01:30,540 used shampoos or salad dressings you've 38 00:01:35,330 --> 00:01:33,299 encountered Foams and emulsions aside 39 00:01:37,789 --> 00:01:35,340 from making up many household items 40 00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:37,799 these droplets and Bubbles suspended in 41 00:01:42,350 --> 00:01:40,560 liquids Foams and emulsions are also 42 00:01:44,170 --> 00:01:42,360 important to processes that remove 43 00:01:46,969 --> 00:01:44,180 pollutants from the environment 44 00:01:49,069 --> 00:01:46,979 microgravity eliminates factors that 45 00:01:51,710 --> 00:01:49,079 complicate Research into Foams and 46 00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:51,720 emulsions on Earth what we learn could 47 00:01:55,789 --> 00:01:53,759 contribute to more effective and 48 00:01:57,710 --> 00:01:55,799 efficient use of these bubbly and 49 00:02:00,350 --> 00:01:57,720 non-mixable liquids 50 00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:00,360 and finally we take you to the coldest 51 00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:02,880 known spot in the universe 52 00:02:07,490 --> 00:02:05,280 the cold atom laboratory is a facility 53 00:02:10,430 --> 00:02:07,500 on the International Space Station that 54 00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:10,440 allows researchers to dive into amazing 55 00:02:15,890 --> 00:02:13,200 Atomic and Quantum discoveries by 56 00:02:19,070 --> 00:02:15,900 producing clouds of atoms a fraction of 57 00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:19,080 a degree above absolute zero this is 58 00:02:25,550 --> 00:02:21,840 only possible due to spaces microgravity 59 00:02:28,010 --> 00:02:25,560 environment launched in May of 2018 the 60 00:02:30,650 --> 00:02:28,020 payload has already shown revolutionary 61 00:02:32,990 --> 00:02:30,660 breakthroughs for Quantum research in 62 00:02:35,690 --> 00:02:33,000 its four years of operating on the space 63 00:02:37,550 --> 00:02:35,700 laboratory you can learn more about this 64 00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:37,560 one-of-a-kind research on the latest 65 00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:40,800 edition of Houston we have a podcast Dr 66 00:02:44,690 --> 00:02:42,959 Jason Williams from NASA's jet 67 00:02:47,330 --> 00:02:44,700 propulsion laboratory in Pasadena 68 00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:47,340 California and Dr Nathan lumlad a 69 00:02:51,770 --> 00:02:49,680 professor of physics at Bates College in 70 00:02:54,650 --> 00:02:51,780 Lewiston Maine will take you on a 71 00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:54,660 journey to the subatomic you can get the 72 00:02:59,509 --> 00:02:57,360 latest news about the cold atom lab and 73 00:03:03,410 --> 00:02:59,519 other research and science happenings on 74 00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:03,420 the ISS by following at ISS underscore 75 00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:06,000 Research on Twitter that's space to 76 00:03:13,060 --> 00:03:07,680 ground for this week thanks for watching 77 00:03:13,070 --> 00:03:20,589 [Music]
