1
00:00:02,820 --> 00:00:09,850
foreign

2
00:00:16,369 --> 00:00:13,310
and this is Katie we're at NASA Johnson

3
00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:16,379
Space Center inside Hera the human

4
00:00:22,250 --> 00:00:19,140
exploration research analog

5
00:00:25,250 --> 00:00:22,260
we're on campaign six Mission four

6
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:25,260
our mission is to simulate a trip to the

7
00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:28,800
Mars Moon Phobos as we travel we're

8
00:00:34,430 --> 00:00:30,960
helping scientists learn more about

9
00:00:37,490 --> 00:00:34,440
isolation confinement and remote

10
00:00:40,330 --> 00:00:37,500
conditions that could influence how

11
00:00:43,670 --> 00:00:40,340
astronauts live and work in deep space

12
00:00:47,389 --> 00:00:43,680
all without even leaving Earth we're

13
00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:50,090
hi I'm Ria Ferris and I'm a fourth

14
00:00:53,930 --> 00:00:52,020
grader at Cascadia Elementary School

15
00:00:56,029 --> 00:00:53,940
Seattle Washington

16
00:00:58,490 --> 00:00:56,039
I was wondering

17
00:01:00,770 --> 00:00:58,500
what's it like on the habitat

18
00:01:04,609 --> 00:01:00,780
could you give me a little tour I'm

19
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:04,619
really interested in how you eat sleep

20
00:01:11,450 --> 00:01:08,640
and work in such a small space thank you

21
00:01:15,050 --> 00:01:11,460
that's a great question Ria

22
00:01:16,850 --> 00:01:15,060
and it is a challenge to live work and

23
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:16,860
eat in such a small place with four

24
00:01:22,370 --> 00:01:19,680
people when you first enter here through

25
00:01:24,770 --> 00:01:22,380
the airlock you're gonna see our

26
00:01:26,929 --> 00:01:24,780
scientific workspace this is where we do

27
00:01:30,170 --> 00:01:26,939
the majority of our tasks during the day

28
00:01:33,530 --> 00:01:30,180
it's where the four of us work

29
00:01:34,910 --> 00:01:33,540
um and do various maintenance repair and

30
00:01:37,310 --> 00:01:34,920
science tasks

31
00:01:39,950 --> 00:01:37,320
in addition we have what is known as our

32
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:39,960
hygiene module this is where

33
00:01:44,030 --> 00:01:42,479
um we might use the bathroom go and take

34
00:01:46,130 --> 00:01:44,040
a shower

35
00:01:48,109 --> 00:01:46,140
um or just brush our teeth

36
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:48,119
it's awesome we'll do our laundry you

37
00:01:51,710 --> 00:01:50,399
don't have a laundry machine here

38
00:01:54,530 --> 00:01:51,720
um so we have to wash all of our clothes

39
00:01:57,469 --> 00:01:54,540
by hands to keep everything clean

40
00:02:00,469 --> 00:01:57,479
if we go up to the second story of our

41
00:02:04,370 --> 00:02:00,479
habitat which we can use this lovely

42
00:02:08,089 --> 00:02:04,380
lift so to achieve you'll see the area

43
00:02:11,150 --> 00:02:08,099
where we can hang out eat in our Galley

44
00:02:13,850 --> 00:02:11,160
and rehydrate some food and where we'll

45
00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:13,860
exercise we have a bike that we're all

46
00:02:20,270 --> 00:02:16,980
very fond of and enjoy using

47
00:02:22,369 --> 00:02:20,280
um as well as a couple of points and

48
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:22,379
some mats where we might do some

49
00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:25,200
strength and resistance training or

50
00:02:35,330 --> 00:02:32,869
then on our third level you'll see our

51
00:02:37,369 --> 00:02:35,340
crew quarters this is where each of us

52
00:02:39,229 --> 00:02:37,379
has a bump to sleep you'll note that

53
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:39,239
it's pretty sparse and we still won't

54
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:41,280
get a ton of privacy

55
00:02:44,809 --> 00:02:43,200
um we have some mesh Nets but we can all

56
00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:44,819
see each other and it's much like you

57
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:47,640
might go if you went to a summer camp or

58
00:02:51,770 --> 00:02:49,680
have a bunk bed in your room

59
00:02:54,770 --> 00:02:51,780
um we're all still very much in the same

60
00:02:57,229 --> 00:02:54,780
space sleeping together but that is a

61
00:02:59,630 --> 00:02:57,239
space that is all ours everybody can

62
00:03:02,930 --> 00:02:59,640
imagine when you're home and the average

63
00:03:05,210 --> 00:03:02,940
size of an American household is 2 000

64
00:03:08,930 --> 00:03:05,220
square foot and that's a big space

65
00:03:11,809 --> 00:03:08,940
compared to that we have 640 feet so

66
00:03:14,809 --> 00:03:11,819
square feet and that's quite a

67
00:03:17,930 --> 00:03:14,819
difference but we make it work we are

68
00:03:21,710 --> 00:03:17,940
scheduling our workouts and the hygiene

69
00:03:24,410 --> 00:03:21,720
after that well nicely staggered so we

70
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:24,420
can all have our own space and our own

71
00:03:29,690 --> 00:03:27,120
time in the hygiene module and shower

72
00:03:32,330 --> 00:03:29,700
our shower teeth have some privacy while

73
00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:32,340
we do all that and once one person is

74
00:03:38,449 --> 00:03:34,500
out the other person is ready to go in

75
00:03:40,729 --> 00:03:38,459
and we keep that pretty sacred where we

76
00:03:43,369 --> 00:03:40,739
love our time in our hygiene module and

77
00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:43,379
get a nice warm shower don't we yeah for

78
00:03:49,130 --> 00:03:47,040
sure it's been really nice to eat

79
00:03:51,289 --> 00:03:49,140
together as well

80
00:03:53,630 --> 00:03:51,299
you know it's such a small space we're

81
00:03:55,309 --> 00:03:53,640
all able to come together maybe from the

82
00:03:58,250 --> 00:03:55,319
several floors that we have in our

83
00:04:01,369 --> 00:03:58,260
habitat and have a nice meal together

84
00:04:03,589 --> 00:04:01,379
um but lunch and breakfast we each have

85
00:04:05,690 --> 00:04:03,599
you know a couple of minutes maybe 45

86
00:04:07,610 --> 00:04:05,700
minutes maybe half an hour to come

87
00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:07,620
together and eat and just talk about how

88
00:04:11,210 --> 00:04:08,879
our day is going

89
00:04:13,309 --> 00:04:11,220
um and really reconnect as a team and

90
00:04:16,370 --> 00:04:13,319
we're growing together like that really

91
00:04:20,810 --> 00:04:16,380
nicely and it's it feels good

92
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:20,820
hi my name is I'm in 10th grade at osdv

93
00:04:26,030 --> 00:04:23,520
Public School in India I was wondering

94
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,040
what happens when something inside era

95
00:04:30,830 --> 00:04:28,560
breaks while you're on your mission I

96
00:04:33,890 --> 00:04:30,840
will prepared for that what happens if

97
00:04:36,890 --> 00:04:33,900
power or water or any other system feels

98
00:04:39,249 --> 00:04:36,900
that is needed for your survival or for

99
00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:39,259
the success of your mission

100
00:04:45,469 --> 00:04:42,720
that is an excellent question

101
00:04:48,290 --> 00:04:45,479
throughout era our ability to be

102
00:04:51,170 --> 00:04:48,300
self-sufficient is put to the test that

103
00:04:52,850 --> 00:04:51,180
is one of the research topics and as

104
00:04:55,189 --> 00:04:52,860
researchers want to know when we come

105
00:04:58,010 --> 00:04:55,199
together they also want to know how we

106
00:04:59,810 --> 00:04:58,020
troubleshoot and so there are several

107
00:05:00,590 --> 00:04:59,820
different drills that we're going

108
00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:00,600
through

109
00:05:06,170 --> 00:05:02,880
there are procedures and protocols for

110
00:05:09,170 --> 00:05:06,180
all of that and we are following those

111
00:05:11,450 --> 00:05:09,180
to the point as you never know what

112
00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:11,460
would happen in space which we're

113
00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:13,440
simulating if you don't follow protocol

114
00:05:19,310 --> 00:05:15,600
so it is very important to follow the

115
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:19,320
procedures that we were given and

116
00:05:24,830 --> 00:05:22,080
another point on that topic is if there

117
00:05:28,610 --> 00:05:24,840
is a real emergency we're consistently

118
00:05:32,270 --> 00:05:28,620
in contact with our mission control and

119
00:05:36,050 --> 00:05:32,280
if there is something that is putting

120
00:05:38,270 --> 00:05:36,060
the experiment error into danger like

121
00:05:41,150 --> 00:05:38,280
hurricane since we are based in Houston

122
00:05:43,730 --> 00:05:41,160
which can have hurricanes they will get

123
00:05:45,770 --> 00:05:43,740
us out in time and they would break up

124
00:05:48,469 --> 00:05:45,780
the experiment to keep everybody safe

125
00:05:49,610 --> 00:05:48,479
based on NASA procedures and um

126
00:05:51,950 --> 00:05:49,620
guidelines

127
00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:51,960
so we are not worried about the outside

128
00:05:58,249 --> 00:05:55,919
so we have an amazing team looking over

129
00:06:00,830 --> 00:05:58,259
us on the outside and on the inside

130
00:06:03,290 --> 00:06:00,840
we're going with the drills and we're

131
00:06:05,629 --> 00:06:03,300
practicing that and it is working out

132
00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:05,639
well right Katie yeah it's working out

133
00:06:11,150 --> 00:06:07,919
great and in addition to all of our

134
00:06:12,770 --> 00:06:11,160
amazing teachers we also had a good deal

135
00:06:15,050 --> 00:06:12,780
of training before coming into the

136
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:15,060
habitat to make sure that we were well

137
00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:17,039
prepared for any emergencies why we

138
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:18,720
might have either with the habitat

139
00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:22,560
itself or medically so we're very well

140
00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:24,720
prepared for anything that might come

141
00:06:30,350 --> 00:06:26,880
our way

142
00:06:34,730 --> 00:06:30,360
my name is Marion and my name is Devin

143
00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:34,740
and we're in Scout Pack 2019 Texas

144
00:06:40,010 --> 00:06:37,560
my question is what kind of food do you

145
00:06:41,390 --> 00:06:40,020
eat but how do you know how much food to

146
00:06:43,129 --> 00:06:41,400
bring

147
00:06:45,710 --> 00:06:43,139
I'm really glad you asked that question

148
00:06:48,770 --> 00:06:45,720
Marion and Devin

149
00:06:51,950 --> 00:06:48,780
um you know we have a lot of the food

150
00:06:54,770 --> 00:06:51,960
available for us for 45 whole days and

151
00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:54,780
none of that's fresh so

152
00:06:57,890 --> 00:06:56,160
um but some of it that we are eating

153
00:07:00,830 --> 00:06:57,900
every day might be similar to the food

154
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:00,840
that you eat when you go camping

155
00:07:07,969 --> 00:07:04,100
um we have nuts we have

156
00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:07,979
canned fruits we might have a couple of

157
00:07:12,650 --> 00:07:10,740
tortillas which are a fan favorite I

158
00:07:14,930 --> 00:07:12,660
think most of the crew is a big fan and

159
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:14,940
then we have dehydrated Foods we can get

160
00:07:18,290 --> 00:07:16,680
our proteins our fruits and our

161
00:07:21,730 --> 00:07:18,300
vegetables

162
00:07:26,089 --> 00:07:21,740
um all of our food was specifically

163
00:07:28,610 --> 00:07:26,099
signed for US based on our weight how

164
00:07:32,029 --> 00:07:28,620
much activity we're doing and how many

165
00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:32,039
um calories grams of protein grams of

166
00:07:37,010 --> 00:07:33,599
carbohydrates and all of that that we

167
00:07:40,270 --> 00:07:37,020
might need so the nutritionists at Nasa

168
00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:40,280
did a really good job designing healthy

169
00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:44,400
nutrient-filled meals to allow us to

170
00:07:48,650 --> 00:07:46,560
successfully complete our mission and we

171
00:07:50,689 --> 00:07:48,660
don't have any issues there the food's

172
00:07:53,150 --> 00:07:50,699
been pretty good I think everyone has

173
00:07:56,150 --> 00:07:53,160
some fan favorites

174
00:07:58,670 --> 00:07:56,160
my personal favorite is probably the

175
00:08:00,830 --> 00:07:58,680
pasta primavera it's really tasty okay

176
00:08:03,710 --> 00:08:00,840
what do you miss that you can get in

177
00:08:04,370 --> 00:08:03,720
here I definitely miss eggs

178
00:08:07,129 --> 00:08:04,380
um

179
00:08:12,589 --> 00:08:07,139
yeah I think we as a crew are pretty

180
00:08:16,129 --> 00:08:12,599
excited to have a nice omelet or maybe a

181
00:08:19,850 --> 00:08:16,139
over easy egg when we get out so I miss

182
00:08:22,249 --> 00:08:19,860
Tomatoes The Fresh smell and the

183
00:08:25,430 --> 00:08:22,259
crunch or the crunchiness and the

184
00:08:28,249 --> 00:08:25,440
softness I can't wait to have a fresh

185
00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:28,259
tomato when I get out

186
00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:30,960
hi my name is kirana a sixth grader at

187
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:34,800
BHS bring Texas I was curious how do you

188
00:08:40,550 --> 00:08:37,440
have your privacy in such a small space

189
00:08:44,449 --> 00:08:40,560
such as sleeping changing your clothes

190
00:08:47,150 --> 00:08:44,459
using the toilet and showering thank you

191
00:08:49,310 --> 00:08:47,160
kirana that's a great question

192
00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:49,320
making sure that we're working together

193
00:08:55,790 --> 00:08:52,320
as a team while we're still maintaining

194
00:08:57,650 --> 00:08:55,800
personal space is a vital part of long

195
00:09:01,370 --> 00:08:57,660
duration space flight

196
00:09:04,009 --> 00:09:01,380
and it is hard sometimes to have no

197
00:09:06,290 --> 00:09:04,019
privacy but with the crew that's already

198
00:09:09,650 --> 00:09:06,300
grown together it is quite all right

199
00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:09,660
when you change that's kind of a hard

200
00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:12,480
thing to do without all the Privacy that

201
00:09:18,290 --> 00:09:15,360
that we don't have body we make it work

202
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:18,300
because it's easy enough to gather you

203
00:09:23,630 --> 00:09:20,880
things and go down to the bathroom and

204
00:09:26,329 --> 00:09:23,640
close the garden and change and then you

205
00:09:28,850 --> 00:09:26,339
come out nice and fresh and happy and

206
00:09:31,730 --> 00:09:28,860
ready to interact with your crew again

207
00:09:33,710 --> 00:09:31,740
when we take a shower you have the

208
00:09:36,290 --> 00:09:33,720
hygiene module to yourself

209
00:09:39,050 --> 00:09:36,300
you can close the curtain you can get

210
00:09:41,449 --> 00:09:39,060
undressed you go into the shower you

211
00:09:43,730 --> 00:09:41,459
enjoy your nice warm hot shower that you

212
00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:43,740
get once a day and you can wash your

213
00:09:48,590 --> 00:09:46,800
hair and do your hygiene and when you

214
00:09:52,009 --> 00:09:48,600
come out you can close the curtain

215
00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:52,019
behind you again and apply your lotion

216
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:54,240
and do your regular things that you do

217
00:09:58,130 --> 00:09:56,640
during your hygiene get dressed and when

218
00:10:01,250 --> 00:09:58,140
you're ready you can come out from

219
00:10:04,190 --> 00:10:01,260
behind the curtain and that is a really

220
00:10:06,350 --> 00:10:04,200
nice privacy and evenings we have our

221
00:10:08,210 --> 00:10:06,360
own bunk bed we don't have to sleep in

222
00:10:10,430 --> 00:10:08,220
the same bunk bed all together so that's

223
00:10:13,370 --> 00:10:10,440
a nice little space that we also have to

224
00:10:15,410 --> 00:10:13,380
ourselves and everybody has a little

225
00:10:18,290 --> 00:10:15,420
picture or two of their family up there

226
00:10:20,990 --> 00:10:18,300
so just before the lights go out that's

227
00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:21,000
something that you can look at and pull

228
00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:25,680
some energy from nice too hello my name

229
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:27,600
is Charles and I go in the sixth grade

230
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:31,680
at tal Crogan School in Stockholm Sweden

231
00:10:37,550 --> 00:10:34,560
I am wondering what do you miss most

232
00:10:39,829 --> 00:10:37,560
about the life outside your habitat like

233
00:10:40,970 --> 00:10:39,839
how does it feel to not be able to touch

234
00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:40,980
grass

235
00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:44,880
a refresher or see the Sun for 45 days

236
00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:46,740
thanks

237
00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:50,640
missing home is definitely a

238
00:10:55,069 --> 00:10:52,560
consideration for long-term space fight

239
00:10:56,810 --> 00:10:55,079
and we're really glad that you asked I

240
00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:56,820
think the thing that I certainly miss

241
00:11:02,210 --> 00:11:00,240
the most is my family and I think that's

242
00:11:04,610 --> 00:11:02,220
probably the same for most of our crew

243
00:11:06,170 --> 00:11:04,620
members you know we all really miss can

244
00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:06,180
you almost just pick up the phone and

245
00:11:09,769 --> 00:11:07,920
talk to our family or see them at the

246
00:11:13,009 --> 00:11:09,779
end of a work day and that's really been

247
00:11:15,170 --> 00:11:13,019
an adjustment in addition to that I

248
00:11:17,930 --> 00:11:15,180
personally really miss going outside and

249
00:11:20,210 --> 00:11:17,940
running and the Sunshine

250
00:11:23,269 --> 00:11:20,220
um kind of smelling the grass as I move

251
00:11:25,490 --> 00:11:23,279
along but I have been really grateful

252
00:11:27,949 --> 00:11:25,500
here and still get some exercise in and

253
00:11:29,810 --> 00:11:27,959
to have pictures of my family and to get

254
00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:29,820
to talk to them for an allotted amount

255
00:11:33,829 --> 00:11:31,920
of time each week and they're really

256
00:11:35,569 --> 00:11:33,839
supportive and understanding

257
00:11:38,150 --> 00:11:35,579
um that this research is very important

258
00:11:40,370 --> 00:11:38,160
so that's been a good motivator for

259
00:11:42,290 --> 00:11:40,380
keeping Spirits high and knowing that in

260
00:11:44,090 --> 00:11:42,300
45 days you know the sun will still be

261
00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:44,100
there in solar families and we're really

262
00:11:47,630 --> 00:11:45,839
excited to get back to both

263
00:11:49,130 --> 00:11:47,640
Sandra do you have anything that you

264
00:11:50,990 --> 00:11:49,140
missed the most and what are some of

265
00:11:56,090 --> 00:11:51,000
your

266
00:11:58,009 --> 00:11:56,100
coping with uh the isolation and the

267
00:12:00,829 --> 00:11:58,019
things that you do Miss that's a good

268
00:12:02,030 --> 00:12:00,839
question Katie so for me I missed the

269
00:12:04,310 --> 00:12:02,040
most

270
00:12:06,889 --> 00:12:04,320
theme that you're on

271
00:12:09,889 --> 00:12:06,899
about walking along the lake

272
00:12:12,949 --> 00:12:09,899
see the grass that you smell the the

273
00:12:15,889 --> 00:12:12,959
soil and you see the birds flying over

274
00:12:18,889 --> 00:12:15,899
and the blue sky and there's puffy

275
00:12:22,430 --> 00:12:18,899
clouds drifting over you but you know

276
00:12:25,850 --> 00:12:22,440
it's only 45 days yes it sounds a lot

277
00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:25,860
but if you compare 45 days to a year or

278
00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:29,600
two or three 45 days it's really

279
00:12:35,530 --> 00:12:33,600
and oh if you take it day by day and you

280
00:12:38,210 --> 00:12:35,540
remember that your family outside

281
00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:38,220
supports you and thinks that this is a

282
00:12:43,129 --> 00:12:41,040
very important mission to accomplish and

283
00:12:44,990 --> 00:12:43,139
we feel certainly the same way because

284
00:12:49,129 --> 00:12:45,000
we are here

285
00:12:51,769 --> 00:12:49,139
um it is not that hard to

286
00:12:54,050 --> 00:12:51,779
look forward to it and knowing that it's

287
00:12:56,690 --> 00:12:54,060
happening soon again and to keep the

288
00:12:59,030 --> 00:12:56,700
spirits high and we know Earth is out

289
00:13:01,850 --> 00:12:59,040
there and we'll see it soon again and

290
00:13:03,889 --> 00:13:01,860
the Sunshine will be out and spring is

291
00:13:06,590 --> 00:13:03,899
coming when we come out so that's

292
00:13:08,329 --> 00:13:06,600
something to look forward to hello my

293
00:13:10,190 --> 00:13:08,339
name is Tawana and I'm a 9th grade

294
00:13:11,930 --> 00:13:10,200
student at Lakecrest Independent School

295
00:13:14,030 --> 00:13:11,940
in St John's Canada

296
00:13:15,650 --> 00:13:14,040
my question for you is have you

297
00:13:17,629 --> 00:13:15,660
deliberately made or noticed any

298
00:13:19,550 --> 00:13:17,639
personality changes during a stay on the

299
00:13:21,470 --> 00:13:19,560
mission and will those personality

300
00:13:22,610 --> 00:13:21,480
changes be kept after the mission is

301
00:13:24,530 --> 00:13:22,620
completed

302
00:13:29,870 --> 00:13:24,540
thank you and good luck

303
00:13:32,509 --> 00:13:29,880
oh very insightful question Tawana it's

304
00:13:35,269 --> 00:13:32,519
it's very important question how

305
00:13:37,850 --> 00:13:35,279
different personalities deal and adapt

306
00:13:39,230 --> 00:13:37,860
with working together that's a key part

307
00:13:42,650 --> 00:13:39,240
of Hera

308
00:13:45,530 --> 00:13:42,660
for me the biggest adjustment is that I

309
00:13:48,769 --> 00:13:45,540
am taking it in more deeply that I'm

310
00:13:51,650 --> 00:13:48,779
realizing where I am and that this is a

311
00:13:54,530 --> 00:13:51,660
big deal to be here and to be part of

312
00:13:56,449 --> 00:13:54,540
this hero Mission and to be part of C6

313
00:14:00,769 --> 00:13:56,459
M4

314
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:00,779
it's an honor to be here and be part of

315
00:14:06,590 --> 00:14:04,320
NASA making progress to deep space

316
00:14:10,009 --> 00:14:06,600
missions and playing My Little part in

317
00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:10,019
it so I'm very happy about that and I

318
00:14:13,090 --> 00:14:12,000
think I will come out of here with a lot

319
00:14:16,850 --> 00:14:13,100
of gratitude

320
00:14:17,870 --> 00:14:16,860
and I will see the world in a different

321
00:14:20,509 --> 00:14:17,880
way

322
00:14:25,490 --> 00:14:20,519
and all the opportunities that present

323
00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:25,500
itself and also I'm in here with a

324
00:14:30,829 --> 00:14:28,560
member of our crew who's Spanish and I

325
00:14:32,569 --> 00:14:30,839
learned what uh bless you means in

326
00:14:35,629 --> 00:14:32,579
Spanish and I will take that out because

327
00:14:37,009 --> 00:14:35,639
salute sounds really cute and that will

328
00:14:39,470 --> 00:14:37,019
be something that I will use for the

329
00:14:42,889 --> 00:14:39,480
rest of my life what about you Katie

330
00:14:44,810 --> 00:14:42,899
yeah has Sandra alluded to this is a

331
00:14:46,910 --> 00:14:44,820
very International crew we have members

332
00:14:48,889 --> 00:14:46,920
from Germany members from Spain members

333
00:14:51,110 --> 00:14:48,899
from the northern us as well as the

334
00:14:52,730 --> 00:14:51,120
southern us and it's been really great

335
00:14:56,509 --> 00:14:52,740
to live and work with such an

336
00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:56,519
international and such a talented team

337
00:15:00,050 --> 00:14:57,600
um I think

338
00:15:03,290 --> 00:15:00,060
you know being flexible with each other

339
00:15:05,269 --> 00:15:03,300
and really communicating clearly and

340
00:15:08,090 --> 00:15:05,279
being open to these different customs

341
00:15:10,009 --> 00:15:08,100
and these different mannerisms is key to

342
00:15:12,290 --> 00:15:10,019
all of us getting along and enjoying

343
00:15:13,730 --> 00:15:12,300
each other's company and I think that

344
00:15:15,050 --> 00:15:13,740
we've been really successful in that

345
00:15:18,650 --> 00:15:15,060
I've been learning a little bit of

346
00:15:20,210 --> 00:15:18,660
German a little bit of Spanish as well

347
00:15:23,569 --> 00:15:20,220
um and it's been a lot of fun I think

348
00:15:28,009 --> 00:15:26,449
hi my name is Laura I'm in grade 8 at

349
00:15:29,870 --> 00:15:28,019
the United Nations International School

350
00:15:32,569 --> 00:15:29,880
Hanoi Vietnam

351
00:15:33,949 --> 00:15:32,579
I was wondering what information is this

352
00:15:36,290 --> 00:15:33,959
Mission providing that you can't already

353
00:15:38,329 --> 00:15:36,300
get from the ISS and to flip that

354
00:15:40,189 --> 00:15:38,339
question around a bit what living

355
00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:40,199
conditions are difficult to simulate

356
00:15:44,509 --> 00:15:42,480
thank you

357
00:15:47,750 --> 00:15:44,519
Laura that's a really important point

358
00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:47,760
about ground analogs here on Earth Hera

359
00:15:51,410 --> 00:15:49,920
and other grand grand analogs like it

360
00:15:52,850 --> 00:15:51,420
are not meant to replace the

361
00:15:55,009 --> 00:15:52,860
international station which has been

362
00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:55,019
providing exceptional information about

363
00:15:59,870 --> 00:15:57,300
how humans live and work in space for

364
00:16:02,629 --> 00:15:59,880
decades we're really meant to supplement

365
00:16:05,389 --> 00:16:02,639
some of these larger questions about

366
00:16:08,269 --> 00:16:05,399
um how behaviors about astronauts and

367
00:16:09,949 --> 00:16:08,279
teams might form and what some of the

368
00:16:12,230 --> 00:16:09,959
effects of isolation and confinement

369
00:16:14,329 --> 00:16:12,240
might be when it kind of pulled back

370
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:14,339
from some of the other complicating

371
00:16:20,329 --> 00:16:17,519
factors on the ISS are such as the

372
00:16:22,009 --> 00:16:20,339
effects of microgravity or the effects

373
00:16:24,769 --> 00:16:22,019
of bone loss you really have to

374
00:16:27,410 --> 00:16:24,779
understand that para is a much smaller

375
00:16:29,449 --> 00:16:27,420
space than the ISS it's only about 600

376
00:16:31,610 --> 00:16:29,459
square feet whereas the ISS is the much

377
00:16:33,889 --> 00:16:31,620
bigger space for our astronauts to be

378
00:16:35,509 --> 00:16:33,899
working in and before we take that leap

379
00:16:38,150 --> 00:16:35,519
and it's an astronauts into deep space

380
00:16:40,610 --> 00:16:38,160
in such a small and confined area we

381
00:16:42,350 --> 00:16:40,620
need to understand what are some methods

382
00:16:45,350 --> 00:16:42,360
for communicating and what are some

383
00:16:47,810 --> 00:16:45,360
methods for adapting and designing for

384
00:16:50,449 --> 00:16:47,820
these longer duration space missions and

385
00:16:53,389 --> 00:16:50,459
much smaller spaces than the ISS but

386
00:16:55,850 --> 00:16:53,399
with Hera we can really trial many more

387
00:16:58,970 --> 00:16:55,860
experiments and look at methods for

388
00:17:01,310 --> 00:16:58,980
creating a long duration environment or

389
00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:01,320
high autonomy environment here on Earth

390
00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:03,120
and get those results before we decide

391
00:17:07,429 --> 00:17:04,559
to launch something to the international

392
00:17:09,770 --> 00:17:07,439
station for further testing thank you

393
00:17:17,780 --> 00:17:09,780
for all of your amazing questions you
