00:00:10,610 --> 00:00:08,639
I'm Jaden Jennings the first ship

4
00:00:13,190 --> 00:00:10,620
commanded by 18th century British

5
00:00:15,770 --> 00:00:13,200
Explorer James Cook carried the name

6
00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:15,780
over a 19-year period a space shuttle

7
00:00:20,570 --> 00:00:17,880
with the same name flew to space 25

8
00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:20,580
times and soon another spacecraft

9
00:00:25,189 --> 00:00:22,560
bearing that name will take humans to

10
00:00:27,349 --> 00:00:25,199
space for the fourth time

11
00:00:28,730 --> 00:00:27,359
the SpaceX crusix astronauts have

12
00:00:30,109 --> 00:00:28,740
officially arrived at Kennedy Space

13
00:00:31,310 --> 00:00:30,119
Center where they will hitch a ride to

14
00:00:34,010 --> 00:00:31,320
the space station on crew Dragon

15
00:00:35,750 --> 00:00:34,020
Endeavor the crew 6 mission is scheduled

16
00:00:37,729 --> 00:00:35,760
to launch from Kennedy early next week

17
00:00:39,470 --> 00:00:37,739
and will carry NASA astronaut Steve

18
00:00:41,450 --> 00:00:39,480
Bowen and Woody hillberg Mission

19
00:00:43,490 --> 00:00:41,460
commander and pilot respectively along

20
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:43,500
with United Arab Emirates astronaut

21
00:00:48,049 --> 00:00:45,600
Sultan al-nayadi and Rose Cosmos

22
00:00:50,569 --> 00:00:48,059
Cosmonaut Andre vettierev it's awesome

23
00:00:53,090 --> 00:00:50,579
to fly in space it's awesome to be a

24
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,100
part of the research and the science but

25
00:00:57,889 --> 00:00:55,680
we're also the subjects as well there's

26
00:00:59,689 --> 00:00:57,899
diet studies there's blood studies

27
00:01:02,630 --> 00:00:59,699
there's just an amazing number of

28
00:01:04,729 --> 00:01:02,640
genetic studies if we go outside Eva we

29
00:01:06,649 --> 00:01:04,739
may actually do some sampling on the

30
00:01:09,230 --> 00:01:06,659
outside of the space station and start

31
00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:09,240
trying to characterize any uh biologic

32
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:10,799
samples that exist outside the space

33
00:01:15,230 --> 00:01:12,960
station that is relevant to our

34
00:01:17,030 --> 00:01:15,240
planetary protection mission that at

35
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:17,040
Nasa we take very seriously as we think

36
00:01:21,410 --> 00:01:19,200
forward to exploration one very

37
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:21,420
interesting experiment that I'm looking

38
00:01:27,050 --> 00:01:24,240
really to see is seeing the heart tissue

39
00:01:29,330 --> 00:01:27,060
beating and base this is a Cutting Edge

40
00:01:31,730 --> 00:01:29,340
technology that one day when we started

41
00:01:34,429 --> 00:01:31,740
3D printing organs this is really

42
00:01:36,670 --> 00:01:34,439
important to see how the structure is

43
00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:36,680
built in microgravity

44
00:01:42,289 --> 00:01:39,180
we study how the space environment

45
00:01:46,370 --> 00:01:42,299
affects human beings and how it affects

46
00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:46,380
different materials in space and also we

47
00:01:51,530 --> 00:01:50,220
do earth studies and the studies of the

48
00:01:53,210 --> 00:01:51,540
space itself

49
00:01:54,830 --> 00:01:53,220
you can hear more from the crew 6

50
00:01:56,450 --> 00:01:54,840
astronauts directly ahead of their

51
00:01:58,850 --> 00:01:56,460
mission on this week's edition of

52
00:02:01,069 --> 00:01:58,860
Houston we have a podcast you can listen

53
00:02:03,710 --> 00:02:01,079
to the episode on Apple podcast Google

54
00:02:05,569 --> 00:02:03,720

Twitter

58
00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:11,039
science is continuing at a quick Pace

59
00:02:13,610 --> 00:02:12,660
ahead of krusic's arrival to the space

60
00:02:15,710 --> 00:02:13,620
station

61
00:02:17,449 --> 00:02:15,720
this week astronauts brought seeds that

62
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:17,459
were exposed to the harsh environment of

63
00:02:21,650 --> 00:02:19,200
space back into the space station for

64
00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:21,660
further studies the feasibility study on

65
00:02:25,790 --> 00:02:24,000
seed irradiation and space for induced

66
00:02:28,670 --> 00:02:25,800
genetic diversity and plant mutation

67
00:02:30,890 --> 00:02:28,680
breeding investigation exposes seeds of

68
00:02:33,170 --> 00:02:30,900
two plant species to microgravity and

69
00:02:34,670 --> 00:02:33,180
Cosmic radiation inside and outside of

70
00:02:37,010 --> 00:02:34,680
the space station for three to seven

71
00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:37,020
months after return to Earth the seeds

72
00:02:41,449 --> 00:02:39,120
are grown and the biology and Genome of

73
00:02:43,309 --> 00:02:41,459
the plants evaluated what we learned May

74
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:43,319
Advance breeding to develop crop

75
00:02:47,449 --> 00:02:45,720
varieties able to withstand increasingly

76
00:02:50,050 --> 00:02:47,459
harsh growing environments on earth

77
00:02:52,250 --> 00:02:50,060
created by climate change

78
00:02:54,410 --> 00:02:52,260
and that's space to ground for this week

79
00:02:56,089 --> 00:02:54,420
thanks for watching you can stay up to

80
00:02:58,430 --> 00:02:56,099
date on all things happening on station

81
00:03:00,410 --> 00:02:58,440
by following us on Twitter at space

82
00:03:02,670 --> 00:03:00,420
underscore station we'll see you next
