--> 00:01:12,649 ACL station this is Houston ACR how do 5 00:01:22,670 --> 00:01:20,030 Houston icr this is station I have you 6 00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:22,680 loud and clear 7 00:01:27,950 --> 00:01:24,720 all righty please stand by for opening 8 00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:30,530 as we say in the Choctaw Nation halito 9 00:01:34,910 --> 00:01:32,400 or hello 10 00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:34,920 I'm Gary Batten chief of the Choctaw 11 00:01:38,810 --> 00:01:36,240 Nation of Oklahoma 12 00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:38,820 the Choctaw Nation the third largest 13 00:01:43,550 --> 00:01:41,280 federally recognized tribe resides in 14 00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:43,560 Southeastern Oklahoma and is the second 15 00:01:48,350 --> 00:01:45,840 largest reservation in the United States 16 00:01:49,730 --> 00:01:48,360 which is about the size of the state of 17 00:01:52,010 --> 00:01:49,740 Vermont 18 00:01:54,109 --> 00:01:52,020 this is a wonderful opportunity for 19 00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:54,119 students and tribal members to interact 20 00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:55,860 with astronauts aboard the International 21 00:02:02,569 --> 00:01:57,600 Space Station 22 00:02:11,089 --> 00:02:04,609 my name is Avery and I was wondering if 23 00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:14,089 hi Avery so we have a lot of medical 24 00:02:18,890 --> 00:02:16,319 equipment in space to take care of 25 00:02:20,750 --> 00:02:18,900 astronauts if we get hurt and we get a 26 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:20,760 fair amount of training for minor 27 00:02:25,070 --> 00:02:22,800 conditions and a couple major conditions 28 00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:25,080 sometimes we're fortunate enough like on 29 00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:26,879 this expedition to have a doctor with us 30 00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:29,040 but if we need help from somebody on the 31 00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:31,260 grounds then we can talk to them and we 32 00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:34,440 have medical kits such as these 33 00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:37,200 which are filled with all types of 34 00:02:44,449 --> 00:02:41,760 different equipment to help us breathe 35 00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:44,459 to keep our bodies uh safe and to do 36 00:02:48,350 --> 00:02:46,800 some minor procedures but if we had 37 00:02:50,930 --> 00:02:48,360 something really go wrong on board 38 00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:50,940 station then we have the spacecraft that 39 00:02:56,390 --> 00:02:54,000 we came up on and we could go into that 40 00:03:01,009 --> 00:02:56,400 spacecraft and do an emergency undoc to 41 00:03:05,330 --> 00:03:03,770 hi my name is Jessica Roberts and can 42 00:03:11,949 --> 00:03:05,340 you describe what it feels like when you 43 00:03:17,149 --> 00:03:15,229 when you launch on top of a rocket from 44 00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:17,159 Earth into space it is the most 45 00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:19,440 incredible feeling so you're laying on 46 00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:22,080 your back when you launch and you can 47 00:03:26,690 --> 00:03:24,720 feel the prop being loaded on the 48 00:03:28,369 --> 00:03:26,700 spacecraft and the rocket it kind of 49 00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:28,379 feels like it comes alive 50 00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:30,360 and then you hear the countdown and it 51 00:03:35,809 --> 00:03:32,879 gets to zero you have actually a pretty 52 00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:35,819 smooth acceleration and you can feel the 53 00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:37,560 additional forces of gravity come 54 00:03:42,589 --> 00:03:40,560 through your chest that Force grows to 55 00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:42,599 about four and a half times the force of 56 00:03:46,610 --> 00:03:44,879 gravity that you feel on Earth so you 57 00:03:48,649 --> 00:03:46,620 feel it pushing down on your chest you 58 00:03:50,509 --> 00:03:48,659 really have to concentrate in order to 59 00:03:52,430 --> 00:03:50,519 breathe and inflate your lungs and you 60 00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:52,440 actually feel the tongue kind of fall 61 00:03:57,890 --> 00:03:54,959 back into the back of your throat 62 00:04:00,170 --> 00:03:57,900 as you get faster and faster you can 63 00:04:01,970 --> 00:04:00,180 feel the rocket and the spacecraft start 64 00:04:03,890 --> 00:04:01,980 to shake and start to rumble and you can 65 00:04:06,050 --> 00:04:03,900 really feel the power of the engines 66 00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:06,060 beneath you and then when the engines 67 00:04:11,869 --> 00:04:09,599 finally cut off it's instantaneous boom 68 00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:11,879 and it's totally silent and totally 69 00:04:15,770 --> 00:04:14,220 smooth and you're floating and you know 70 00:04:19,250 --> 00:04:15,780 you've made it into space it's 71 00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:21,650 hi my name's Kaden and I was wondering 72 00:04:29,450 --> 00:04:23,520 if you can lift Unlimited weight in 73 00:04:34,670 --> 00:04:32,749 in space we have unlimited strength well 74 00:04:36,290 --> 00:04:34,680 so we're in microgravity and so things 75 00:04:38,990 --> 00:04:36,300 have a mass but they don't have weight 76 00:04:41,390 --> 00:04:39,000 like they do on Earth and so I could 77 00:04:43,390 --> 00:04:41,400 lift something that's 500 pounds and I 78 00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:43,400 could lift it up with ease with my hand 79 00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:46,560 now I need to use force in order to stop 80 00:04:50,990 --> 00:04:48,720 the momentum of that object and so if 81 00:04:53,150 --> 00:04:51,000 it's very heavy or if it's moving very 82 00:04:55,129 --> 00:04:53,160 fast then that'll have to increase the 83 00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:55,139 amount of force that I need to stop that 84 00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:57,360 object from moving so it's very 85 00:05:01,070 --> 00:04:58,800 interesting you can tell when things are 86 00:05:03,650 --> 00:05:01,080 heavy because they have you can feel 87 00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:03,660 that mass and that momentum in space but 88 00:05:08,090 --> 00:05:06,240 as far as lifting something I was 89 00:05:11,210 --> 00:05:08,100 carrying a bag on a spacewalk the other 90 00:05:12,830 --> 00:05:11,220 day and it was 330 pounds and other than 91 00:05:17,170 --> 00:05:12,840 it having Mass you couldn't sell that it 92 00:05:28,969 --> 00:05:21,170 hi my name is Deanna and I have my 93 00:05:35,150 --> 00:05:32,510 hi Deandra so unfortunately no washing 94 00:05:37,129 --> 00:05:35,160 of clothes or spacesuits or really 95 00:05:39,170 --> 00:05:37,139 anything while we're up in space we 96 00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:39,180 don't have washing machines and no 97 00:05:44,029 --> 00:05:41,520 showers because water behaves very 98 00:05:46,370 --> 00:05:44,039 differently in space and so this is a 99 00:05:49,490 --> 00:05:46,380 bag of water that I have here and I'll 100 00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:49,500 show you in in on Earth if I squirted 101 00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:52,080 water out of a bag it would just fall to 102 00:05:57,050 --> 00:05:54,720 the ground but in space since there's no 103 00:05:59,990 --> 00:05:57,060 gravity when I squirt the water out you 104 00:06:01,249 --> 00:06:00,000 can see it just forms this kind of a big 105 00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:01,259 bubble 106 00:06:06,110 --> 00:06:03,600 here in space 107 00:06:09,170 --> 00:06:06,120 and that just floats around so you can 108 00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:09,180 put this water onto a towel and then you 109 00:06:14,270 --> 00:06:11,039 can use that to kind of wash your body 110 00:06:16,909 --> 00:06:14,280 or when we get back from a spacewalk we 111 00:06:19,249 --> 00:06:16,919 have some wet wipes and sanitation wipes 112 00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:19,259 that we can use to clean the inside of a 113 00:06:26,809 --> 00:06:21,600 spacesuit but you don't wash it 114 00:06:31,850 --> 00:06:29,930 hi my name is Caleb Anthony and my 115 00:06:34,189 --> 00:06:31,860 question is how do you think space 116 00:06:40,270 --> 00:06:34,199 exploration and NASA will advance in the 117 00:06:46,370 --> 00:06:43,249 Caleb this is an incredibly exciting 118 00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:46,380 time for human exploration you're seeing 119 00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:48,960 a lot of activity in low earth orbit not 120 00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:50,520 just from NASA and our International 121 00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:52,380 Partners but also from commercial 122 00:06:57,409 --> 00:06:54,960 industry so we have private astronauts 123 00:07:00,290 --> 00:06:57,419 now that fly to the International Space 124 00:07:02,749 --> 00:07:00,300 Station and also private astronauts that 125 00:07:05,809 --> 00:07:02,759 fly and do missions in low earth orbit 126 00:07:07,249 --> 00:07:05,819 on a SpaceX spacecraft and so you're 127 00:07:09,469 --> 00:07:07,259 going to see I think the transition of 128 00:07:11,930 --> 00:07:09,479 low earth orbit really to more 129 00:07:14,270 --> 00:07:11,940 commercial companies maybe smaller space 130 00:07:16,610 --> 00:07:14,280 stations that are in low earth orbit 131 00:07:19,249 --> 00:07:16,620 conducting science and you're also going 132 00:07:21,469 --> 00:07:19,259 to see US expand and explore into deep 133 00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:21,479 space we already have the Artemis 134 00:07:26,749 --> 00:07:24,780 program and last month we sent Orion out 135 00:07:28,969 --> 00:07:26,759 beyond the Moon farther than we have 136 00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:28,979 sent any human rated spacecraft before 137 00:07:34,270 --> 00:07:31,199 and soon you're going to see humans 138 00:07:36,890 --> 00:07:34,280 launch to the Moon where aim is to have 139 00:07:39,170 --> 00:07:36,900 sustained human presence on the lunar 140 00:07:41,450 --> 00:07:39,180 surface and really this is a stepping 141 00:07:44,270 --> 00:07:41,460 stone for for our exploration in the 142 00:07:46,670 --> 00:07:44,280 future to Mars so you'll see a lot of 143 00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:46,680 changes and a lot of increase in our 144 00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:58,510 hello my name is Scarlett cohoose 145 00:08:09,370 --> 00:08:02,390 I wonder about space to straw muscle 146 00:08:14,270 --> 00:08:12,589 hi Scarlett so as I was saying when 147 00:08:15,710 --> 00:08:14,280 you're in space if something is heavy 148 00:08:18,050 --> 00:08:15,720 you don't need necessarily strong 149 00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:18,060 muscles to lift it up but it's very 150 00:08:22,129 --> 00:08:20,400 important that astronauts keep their 151 00:08:24,589 --> 00:08:22,139 strong muscles in space for a couple 152 00:08:27,529 --> 00:08:24,599 reasons one is you're really just 153 00:08:29,930 --> 00:08:27,539 floating around all day and so if I 154 00:08:31,610 --> 00:08:29,940 didn't work out and exercise my muscles 155 00:08:33,649 --> 00:08:31,620 I would have what's called muscle 156 00:08:35,870 --> 00:08:33,659 atrophy and all the strength in my 157 00:08:37,670 --> 00:08:35,880 muscles would go away and then when I 158 00:08:40,070 --> 00:08:37,680 returned to Earth I wouldn't be strong 159 00:08:42,589 --> 00:08:40,080 enough to even support the weight of my 160 00:08:46,010 --> 00:08:42,599 own body to stand up and and hold my 161 00:08:47,690 --> 00:08:46,020 head up so we have different devices on 162 00:08:50,389 --> 00:08:47,700 board the space station to help us 163 00:08:52,670 --> 00:08:50,399 exercise and to keep our muscles strong 164 00:08:55,130 --> 00:08:52,680 also when we go outside the space 165 00:08:58,190 --> 00:08:55,140 station on a spacewalk we're wearing a 166 00:09:03,290 --> 00:08:58,200 huge spacesuit and that is inflated to 167 00:09:05,210 --> 00:09:03,300 4.3 PSI above the vacuum of space and to 168 00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:05,220 operate that spacesuit you need strong 169 00:09:10,370 --> 00:09:07,680 muscles to work against the force of the 170 00:09:13,009 --> 00:09:10,380 spacesuit and to crawl along the space 171 00:09:15,170 --> 00:09:13,019 station and stop and start your momentum 172 00:09:16,850 --> 00:09:15,180 as you're going so it's very important 173 00:09:20,210 --> 00:09:16,860 that we keep our strong muscles while 174 00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:23,269 hi my name is Ainsley I have a question 175 00:09:35,090 --> 00:09:32,990 so Avery if you were outside in the 176 00:09:36,110 --> 00:09:35,100 vacuum of space it would be absolutely 177 00:09:38,090 --> 00:09:36,120 quiet 178 00:09:40,730 --> 00:09:38,100 but inside the International Space 179 00:09:42,350 --> 00:09:40,740 Station it's actually quite loud I'm not 180 00:09:45,230 --> 00:09:42,360 sure if you could hear some of the 181 00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:45,240 background noise here I'm in the U.S lab 182 00:09:50,690 --> 00:09:47,640 right now and you can see there's a ton 183 00:09:53,570 --> 00:09:50,700 of computer systems and cabling and 184 00:09:56,150 --> 00:09:53,580 science experiments everywhere all those 185 00:09:58,070 --> 00:09:56,160 systems run off of processors that 186 00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:58,080 require Cooling and so there's a lot of 187 00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:00,000 fans and a lot of the science 188 00:10:03,490 --> 00:10:02,640 experiments have different gases and 189 00:10:06,050 --> 00:10:03,500 different 190 00:10:08,090 --> 00:10:06,060 mechanics that will run and those are 191 00:10:09,889 --> 00:10:08,100 actually quite loud so there is a bit of 192 00:10:13,730 --> 00:10:09,899 a hum all throughout the International 193 00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:13,740 Space Station 24 hours a day and seven 194 00:10:21,949 --> 00:10:19,490 my name is Cameron and I was wondering 195 00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:21,959 does the temperature change when the sun 196 00:10:30,009 --> 00:10:23,760 is blocked by the Earth since there's no 197 00:10:34,190 --> 00:10:32,329 so you're right because there's no 198 00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:34,200 atmosphere in space you're not going to 199 00:10:38,210 --> 00:10:35,760 have the temperature of air like you do 200 00:10:39,650 --> 00:10:38,220 on Earth however things outside the 201 00:10:42,050 --> 00:10:39,660 space station when they're in direct 202 00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:42,060 sunlight will certainly heat up and 203 00:10:47,150 --> 00:10:44,000 those will heat up to about 204 00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:47,160 248 degrees Fahrenheit so that's much 205 00:10:51,530 --> 00:10:48,720 more than the temperature of boiling 206 00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:51,540 water and when things are in a shade or 207 00:10:56,150 --> 00:10:54,120 in a shadow or on the back side of the 208 00:10:59,930 --> 00:10:56,160 earth then things will cool down to 209 00:11:02,389 --> 00:10:59,940 about minus 148 degrees Fahrenheit so 210 00:11:04,190 --> 00:11:02,399 the fluctuation of temperature of the 211 00:11:08,650 --> 00:11:04,200 objects outside the space station is 212 00:11:13,310 --> 00:11:11,569 hi my name is Hannah and I would like to 213 00:11:19,389 --> 00:11:13,320 know how electricity works in the 214 00:11:26,750 --> 00:11:23,990 hi Hannah so we have four pairs of solar 215 00:11:29,210 --> 00:11:26,760 arrays and these are huge arrays that 216 00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:29,220 extend into space and they collect the 217 00:11:33,230 --> 00:11:30,959 energy from the Sun 218 00:11:35,210 --> 00:11:33,240 these arrays then take that energy and 219 00:11:36,889 --> 00:11:35,220 store it into batteries so when the 220 00:11:39,710 --> 00:11:36,899 space station is in direct sunlight 221 00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:39,720 we're absorbing energy from the Sun and 222 00:11:44,269 --> 00:11:41,760 when we're in Shadow 223 00:11:46,370 --> 00:11:44,279 or an eclipse then we use the energy 224 00:11:48,170 --> 00:11:46,380 that's been stored in the batteries to 225 00:11:50,449 --> 00:11:48,180 power all the lights all the computer 226 00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:50,459 systems and all the fans on board the 227 00:11:54,530 --> 00:11:52,680 space station we're actually upgrading 228 00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:54,540 some of these solar arrays because many 229 00:11:59,150 --> 00:11:56,399 of them have been functional for over 20 230 00:12:00,769 --> 00:11:59,160 years and that's part of the spacewalks 231 00:12:03,530 --> 00:12:00,779 that we've been doing over the past few 232 00:12:05,210 --> 00:12:03,540 months and in fact this Thursday my 233 00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:05,220 crewmate koichi and I will go outside 234 00:12:10,610 --> 00:12:08,160 the space station to set up a mod kit 235 00:12:12,949 --> 00:12:10,620 that will house a new solar array called 236 00:12:18,850 --> 00:12:12,959 an irosa that will be rolled out to 237 00:12:23,870 --> 00:12:22,430 hi my name is Colt crochet and my 238 00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:23,880 question is 239 00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:25,440 does the gravity make it more 240 00:12:35,329 --> 00:12:27,360 comfortable on your body 241 00:12:37,970 --> 00:12:36,590 I don't know if you could say it's more 242 00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:37,980 comfortable things are definitely 243 00:12:42,410 --> 00:12:40,079 different and so when you're in space 244 00:12:44,329 --> 00:12:42,420 you have what's called a fluid shift so 245 00:12:46,910 --> 00:12:44,339 normally all the blood a lot of blood 246 00:12:49,129 --> 00:12:46,920 would be in your legs but because you're 247 00:12:51,230 --> 00:12:49,139 in space and there's no gravity a lot of 248 00:12:53,449 --> 00:12:51,240 that blood and fluid will shift up 249 00:12:56,090 --> 00:12:53,459 towards your face so you can see your 250 00:12:58,850 --> 00:12:56,100 face is a little bit puffier your arms 251 00:13:00,530 --> 00:12:58,860 feel like a little bit puffier you may 252 00:13:02,210 --> 00:13:00,540 feel a little bit congested when you 253 00:13:03,530 --> 00:13:02,220 first get up here but it's not 254 00:13:05,990 --> 00:13:03,540 uncomfortable 255 00:13:09,170 --> 00:13:06,000 some of the nice things are that your 256 00:13:11,329 --> 00:13:09,180 back doesn't have all that force of your 257 00:13:13,850 --> 00:13:11,339 weight all the time when you're on Earth 258 00:13:16,610 --> 00:13:13,860 and your knees from walking around so if 259 00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:16,620 you have maybe like a nagging knee or a 260 00:13:20,389 --> 00:13:18,720 back injury that doesn't hurt you as 261 00:13:23,030 --> 00:13:20,399 much in space so kind of some of those 262 00:13:25,370 --> 00:13:23,040 aches and pains actually go away but it 263 00:13:29,569 --> 00:13:25,380 is quite comfortable living and 264 00:13:38,329 --> 00:13:32,690 my name is Noah and how to be an 265 00:13:44,750 --> 00:13:41,870 hi Noah there are many different ways to 266 00:13:47,810 --> 00:13:44,760 becoming an astronaut the first one is 267 00:13:51,230 --> 00:13:47,820 you need to have a master's degree in a 268 00:13:54,530 --> 00:13:51,240 field of science technology engineering 269 00:13:57,530 --> 00:13:54,540 or math and then beyond that really just 270 00:14:00,470 --> 00:13:57,540 some experience in whatever your job is 271 00:14:03,530 --> 00:14:00,480 and so people that are astronauts some 272 00:14:07,069 --> 00:14:03,540 are military fighter pilots others are 273 00:14:09,170 --> 00:14:07,079 doctors scientists engineers and 274 00:14:11,690 --> 00:14:09,180 teachers and so there are many different 275 00:14:14,090 --> 00:14:11,700 paths to becoming an astronaut but it's 276 00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:14,100 important that you follow your passions 277 00:14:19,490 --> 00:14:17,040 in life and that you do well in school 278 00:14:20,509 --> 00:14:19,500 and that you take care of your body and 279 00:14:22,430 --> 00:14:20,519 if that's something that you're 280 00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:22,440 interested in when you grow up you 281 00:14:29,389 --> 00:14:28,129 hi my name is Kylie and I would like to 282 00:14:35,269 --> 00:14:29,399 know what your most important job is 283 00:14:39,350 --> 00:14:37,490 the most important new job you have 284 00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:39,360 while you're on duty is the thing you're 285 00:14:43,970 --> 00:14:42,000 doing right at that moment there's a lot 286 00:14:45,710 --> 00:14:43,980 of critical operations that we conduct 287 00:14:48,050 --> 00:14:45,720 on board the International Space Station 288 00:14:49,970 --> 00:14:48,060 and then even some operations that you 289 00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:49,980 think oh maybe this isn't that important 290 00:14:54,650 --> 00:14:52,320 or that critical really are because 291 00:14:56,930 --> 00:14:54,660 you're the only person up here and it's 292 00:14:59,870 --> 00:14:56,940 your job to make sure that you have that 293 00:15:02,030 --> 00:14:59,880 operation done just right so whether I'm 294 00:15:05,449 --> 00:15:02,040 conducting a million dollar science 295 00:15:07,790 --> 00:15:05,459 experiment or I'm fixing the toilet or 296 00:15:11,090 --> 00:15:07,800 I'm preparing to go outside and execute 297 00:15:13,430 --> 00:15:11,100 a spacewalk or I'm talking to kids like 298 00:15:15,829 --> 00:15:13,440 you and sharing our mission from space 299 00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:15,839 whatever you're doing at that time is 300 00:15:20,750 --> 00:15:18,480 the most important so it's really we 301 00:15:23,329 --> 00:15:20,760 focus on staying focused and getting 302 00:15:25,550 --> 00:15:23,339 that job done and then when you're done 303 00:15:27,650 --> 00:15:25,560 with that job now you can then divert 304 00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:27,660 your attention and your energy to the 305 00:15:42,069 --> 00:15:33,470 my name is Cash uh 306 00:15:47,449 --> 00:15:44,930 so I actually sleep pretty well in space 307 00:15:49,550 --> 00:15:47,459 I think most astronauts do you don't 308 00:15:51,889 --> 00:15:49,560 have a bed like you're used to back on 309 00:15:53,689 --> 00:15:51,899 Earth because there's no gravity and so 310 00:15:55,790 --> 00:15:53,699 you have a little room that's called 311 00:15:58,670 --> 00:15:55,800 your crew quarters it's about the size 312 00:16:00,769 --> 00:15:58,680 of a large telephone booth and uh you 313 00:16:02,810 --> 00:16:00,779 have a sleeping bag and so what I like 314 00:16:05,509 --> 00:16:02,820 to do is I take a bungee cord and I just 315 00:16:07,370 --> 00:16:05,519 velcro myself to the wall and that just 316 00:16:09,650 --> 00:16:07,380 keeps me from floating around too much 317 00:16:12,590 --> 00:16:09,660 and and bonking my head into the ceiling 318 00:16:14,569 --> 00:16:12,600 and then you just kind of float in space 319 00:16:17,389 --> 00:16:14,579 like this and sleep and it's actually 320 00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:17,399 quite comfortable because you don't have 321 00:16:22,430 --> 00:16:20,160 the sunrise and the sunset it can affect 322 00:16:24,530 --> 00:16:22,440 your circadian rhythm so we have lights 323 00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:24,540 around the space station that we can 324 00:16:29,269 --> 00:16:27,360 change and so when it's getting close to 325 00:16:31,610 --> 00:16:29,279 the evening time you can change those 326 00:16:33,530 --> 00:16:31,620 lights to give your body the same kind 327 00:16:35,810 --> 00:16:33,540 of cues that you would have on Earth 328 00:16:39,889 --> 00:16:35,820 with the sun setting and some of that 329 00:16:41,689 --> 00:16:39,899 bright light going away Into Darkness 330 00:16:43,189 --> 00:16:41,699 hi my name is Savannah and I was 331 00:16:45,889 --> 00:16:43,199 wondering why you don't use the methane 332 00:16:50,930 --> 00:16:45,899 gas generated by the sabatier system for 333 00:16:56,449 --> 00:16:53,749 So currently on board we don't have any 334 00:16:59,150 --> 00:16:56,459 hardware that uses methane gas as a 335 00:17:01,870 --> 00:16:59,160 supply the sapati air is a technology 336 00:17:05,390 --> 00:17:01,880 demonstration and so it's trying to 337 00:17:07,490 --> 00:17:05,400 develop and understand how we can create 338 00:17:09,890 --> 00:17:07,500 life support systems that are 339 00:17:11,809 --> 00:17:09,900 self-contained and in fact we have 340 00:17:15,110 --> 00:17:11,819 advanced systems that will be coming up 341 00:17:17,390 --> 00:17:15,120 after sabadier to try to improve that 342 00:17:19,789 --> 00:17:17,400 technology to make it more efficient and 343 00:17:21,890 --> 00:17:19,799 to also make it smaller and so we can 344 00:17:24,949 --> 00:17:21,900 use that on board the space station and 345 00:17:27,890 --> 00:17:24,959 potentially for spacecraft that explore 346 00:17:32,210 --> 00:17:27,900 into deep space and perhaps from 347 00:17:36,830 --> 00:17:34,610 hi my name is Riley and I was wondering 348 00:17:43,570 --> 00:17:36,840 if the air in the International Space 349 00:17:48,650 --> 00:17:46,130 so we control the air in the 350 00:17:50,930 --> 00:17:48,660 International Space Station to keep our 351 00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:50,940 bodies comfortable and also to keep all 352 00:17:55,010 --> 00:17:52,799 the electronics that we have on board 353 00:17:57,350 --> 00:17:55,020 cool and operating at the correct 354 00:18:00,230 --> 00:17:57,360 temperatures so there's a lot of fans 355 00:18:02,029 --> 00:18:00,240 that are moving air around we have 356 00:18:04,370 --> 00:18:02,039 essentially air conditioning systems 357 00:18:06,890 --> 00:18:04,380 that will scrub the humidity out of the 358 00:18:09,650 --> 00:18:06,900 air and also control the temperature so 359 00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:09,660 right now it's set to about a 72 percent 360 00:18:14,450 --> 00:18:12,480 and the humidity is quite low so that 361 00:18:16,310 --> 00:18:14,460 keeps it comfortable and it's also good 362 00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:16,320 for all the computer equipment on board 363 00:18:21,289 --> 00:18:18,840 the space station 364 00:18:22,669 --> 00:18:21,299 hey my name is Sequoia Johnson and my 365 00:18:28,250 --> 00:18:22,679 question is what are you doing on your 366 00:18:33,289 --> 00:18:30,710 well our mission is about five to six 367 00:18:35,450 --> 00:18:33,299 months long and we have over 200 science 368 00:18:37,970 --> 00:18:35,460 experiments that we're conducting inside 369 00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:37,980 and outside of the space station we're 370 00:18:42,230 --> 00:18:40,320 executing space walks to upgrade those 371 00:18:45,909 --> 00:18:42,240 solar arrays on the outside of the space 372 00:18:48,169 --> 00:18:45,919 station in fact today my crewmate Josh 373 00:18:50,450 --> 00:18:48,179 installed this really cool science 374 00:18:54,409 --> 00:18:50,460 experiment called the bio fabrication 375 00:18:57,169 --> 00:18:54,419 facility this is a facility that is 376 00:19:01,190 --> 00:18:57,179 literally printing 3D printing human 377 00:19:03,830 --> 00:19:01,200 cells so it first flew back in 2019 and 378 00:19:07,190 --> 00:19:03,840 it was able to print the knee meniscus 379 00:19:08,810 --> 00:19:07,200 and also some human heart cells and we 380 00:19:11,090 --> 00:19:08,820 learned a lot from that experiment it 381 00:19:13,549 --> 00:19:11,100 was flown back down to earth some 382 00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:13,559 upgrades and modifications were made and 383 00:19:17,930 --> 00:19:15,840 then it just flew again and we installed 384 00:19:19,789 --> 00:19:17,940 it today so again we're looking at 385 00:19:21,890 --> 00:19:19,799 printing these human cells and trying to 386 00:19:24,169 --> 00:19:21,900 determine if we can print them at a 387 00:19:26,390 --> 00:19:24,179 better quality than you can on planet 388 00:19:29,870 --> 00:19:26,400 Earth because you don't have the effects 389 00:19:32,570 --> 00:19:29,880 of gravity the a game eventually is to 390 00:19:34,430 --> 00:19:32,580 then be able to print human organs and 391 00:19:36,650 --> 00:19:34,440 in fact they're looking to do trials in 392 00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:36,660 animals within the decade so it's a very 393 00:19:43,970 --> 00:19:42,289 hi my name is Bethany 394 00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:43,980 um if you're orbiting Earth how do you 395 00:19:52,789 --> 00:19:45,840 know which way is north east south and 396 00:19:57,710 --> 00:19:54,710 so while you're inside the space station 397 00:20:00,650 --> 00:19:57,720 you really can't tell if you're upside 398 00:20:02,690 --> 00:20:00,660 down or on the wall it really feels the 399 00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:02,700 same to your body there's there's no 400 00:20:08,810 --> 00:20:06,240 difference at all and so generally we 401 00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:08,820 use all the ceiling the walls the floor 402 00:20:14,090 --> 00:20:11,220 everything of the space station but we 403 00:20:15,470 --> 00:20:14,100 have labels that are written as if you 404 00:20:17,090 --> 00:20:15,480 were on the deck of the space station 405 00:20:19,789 --> 00:20:17,100 and that helps you kind of Orient 406 00:20:21,529 --> 00:20:19,799 yourself if you're trying to do some 407 00:20:23,630 --> 00:20:21,539 type of activity and so you'll see a lot 408 00:20:26,450 --> 00:20:23,640 of the things are situated like you're 409 00:20:28,669 --> 00:20:26,460 on the deck and looking forward but to 410 00:20:30,950 --> 00:20:28,679 your body it doesn't matter now as far 411 00:20:34,010 --> 00:20:30,960 as relative to Earth really you can look 412 00:20:36,529 --> 00:20:34,020 at our navigation systems or look out 413 00:20:38,750 --> 00:20:36,539 the window we have a module called the 414 00:20:40,789 --> 00:20:38,760 cupola which has seven windows that are 415 00:20:42,169 --> 00:20:40,799 pointed down towards Earth and so you 416 00:20:45,230 --> 00:20:42,179 can look out and you can see planet 417 00:20:47,690 --> 00:20:45,240 Earth and then you can look at geography 418 00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:47,700 to tell which way is north south east 419 00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:53,810 hi my name's hasten and I was just 420 00:21:00,470 --> 00:20:57,600 wondering when the space station goes 421 00:21:03,289 --> 00:21:00,480 out of orbit and you start losing 422 00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:03,299 gravy's pull at what rate do you lose it 423 00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:12,529 so really it's dependent on your 424 00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:16,320 altitude above Earth and so we are about 425 00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:19,200 250 miles above the planet and we're 426 00:21:25,130 --> 00:21:23,280 traveling at 17 500 miles per hour and 427 00:21:27,169 --> 00:21:25,140 that is the correct speed in order to 428 00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:27,179 keep us in orbit now there is a little 429 00:21:31,490 --> 00:21:28,799 bit of atmosphere and a little bit of 430 00:21:33,590 --> 00:21:31,500 drag so we are continuously decreasing 431 00:21:37,250 --> 00:21:33,600 that altitude but we do what's called a 432 00:21:38,810 --> 00:21:37,260 reboost where we fire the thrusters to 433 00:21:41,630 --> 00:21:38,820 boost the altitude of the International 434 00:21:43,909 --> 00:21:41,640 Space Station you can think of it kind 435 00:21:46,490 --> 00:21:43,919 of like a good analogy is if we shot a 436 00:21:48,169 --> 00:21:46,500 cannon say from the top of a hill the 437 00:21:50,149 --> 00:21:48,179 faster the velocity of that Cannonball 438 00:21:51,409 --> 00:21:50,159 the farther that it would go and 439 00:21:55,730 --> 00:21:51,419 eventually if you're shooting that 440 00:21:57,950 --> 00:21:55,740 Canyon that uh Cannonball fast enough as 441 00:21:59,390 --> 00:21:57,960 it falls towards Earth the curvature of 442 00:22:01,610 --> 00:21:59,400 the Earth is going to match that 443 00:22:04,250 --> 00:22:01,620 Cannonball and it will continue to go 444 00:22:06,770 --> 00:22:04,260 around so we are actually always 445 00:22:09,169 --> 00:22:06,780 continuously falling back towards Earth 446 00:22:11,630 --> 00:22:09,179 we're just happy to do it at the same 447 00:22:14,810 --> 00:22:11,640 rate as a Earth's curves and that's what 448 00:22:20,210 --> 00:22:18,230 this has been an amazing opportunity for 449 00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:20,220 students and tribal members to get a 450 00:22:25,549 --> 00:22:22,320 first-hand look at what scientists 451 00:22:28,010 --> 00:22:25,559 Physicians and Educators do in space and 452 00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:28,020 Inspire the next generation of students 453 00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:30,240 to pursue stem careers 454 00:22:35,510 --> 00:22:32,400 we're excited for this opportunity for 455 00:22:43,970 --> 00:22:35,520 our students and the future of stem 456 00:22:43,980 --> 00:22:47,630 thank you 457 00:22:56,930 --> 00:22:49,850 station this is Houston ACR that 458 00:23:00,289 --> 00:22:59,090 thank you to all participants station we
