00:23:53,029 --> 00:23:51,840 there was i don't think we covered uh 413 00:23:54,230 --> 00:23:53,039 the fact that there's a lot of reuse 414 00:23:56,310 --> 00:23:54,240 happening with this mission 415 00:23:58,310 --> 00:23:56,320 but somebody online asked would do we 416 00:23:59,590 --> 00:23:58,320 expect that this dragon capsule would be 417 00:24:01,830 --> 00:23:59,600 reflown for a future 418 00:24:02,710 --> 00:24:01,840 crude mission i think that's a plan and 419 00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:02,720 we'll have to 420 00:24:06,149 --> 00:24:04,720 take a look at certification how we work 421 00:24:07,510 --> 00:24:06,159 through the process 422 00:24:09,029 --> 00:24:07,520 there's a lot that has to be done 423 00:24:10,390 --> 00:24:09,039 between missions to make sure that it's 424 00:24:13,350 --> 00:24:10,400 safe to go forward 425 00:24:14,470 --> 00:24:13,360 but we will be looking at reuse again 426 00:24:16,149 --> 00:24:14,480 down the road it was a 427 00:24:18,310 --> 00:24:16,159 i got to give the team credit i mean 428 00:24:21,029 --> 00:24:18,320 they worked extremely hard 429 00:24:22,390 --> 00:24:21,039 uh this last year to certify the reuse 430 00:24:24,310 --> 00:24:22,400 of the falcon 9 431 00:24:26,070 --> 00:24:24,320 booster that wasn't something that we 432 00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:26,080 had originally planned for 433 00:24:30,630 --> 00:24:28,960 and i think the demonstration of the 434 00:24:33,590 --> 00:24:30,640 multiple flights that they've had 435 00:24:34,710 --> 00:24:33,600 the reliability of it getting there i 436 00:24:36,870 --> 00:24:34,720 think one of the neat things about 437 00:24:38,070 --> 00:24:36,880 reusability is when the vehicle comes 438 00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:38,080 back 439 00:24:41,990 --> 00:24:39,520 we found things that needed to be 440 00:24:44,950 --> 00:24:42,000 changed that we would not have seen 441 00:24:46,870 --> 00:24:44,960 had it not been had we disposed of it 442 00:24:49,110 --> 00:24:46,880 out in the ocean but having it come back 443 00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:49,120 you can find problems fix them before 444 00:24:53,190 --> 00:24:51,600 they become a serious problem so 445 00:24:55,190 --> 00:24:53,200 you know reusability brings down the 446 00:24:57,590 --> 00:24:55,200 cost of state space flight 447 00:24:59,430 --> 00:24:57,600 uh you know i always tell folks this 448 00:25:00,070 --> 00:24:59,440 isn't the first reusable spacecraft we 449 00:25:02,310 --> 00:25:00,080 had multiple 450 00:25:04,149 --> 00:25:02,320 flights on those orbiters and those 451 00:25:05,430 --> 00:25:04,159 solid rocket motor casings and those 452 00:25:07,110 --> 00:25:05,440 engines in fact 453 00:25:08,630 --> 00:25:07,120 the engines on the shuttle are what are 454 00:25:11,430 --> 00:25:08,640 going to power 455 00:25:13,350 --> 00:25:11,440 artemis one when we launch sls and orion 456 00:25:15,830 --> 00:25:13,360 later this year 457 00:25:18,149 --> 00:25:15,840 and those solid rocket motor casings uh 458 00:25:18,870 --> 00:25:18,159 the same ones that we stacked up on the 459 00:25:20,710 --> 00:25:18,880 uh 460 00:25:22,870 --> 00:25:20,720 shuttle are the same ones those same 461 00:25:23,830 --> 00:25:22,880 casings only five segments instead of 462 00:25:26,390 --> 00:25:23,840 four as we 463 00:25:28,310 --> 00:25:26,400 launch artemis so you know that's the 464 00:25:29,990 --> 00:25:28,320 goal reusability brings down costs 465 00:25:32,070 --> 00:25:30,000 and uh we learn a lot every time we get 466 00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:32,080 the hardware back too 467 00:25:35,350 --> 00:25:33,520 awesome thank you and did you did you 468 00:25:37,830 --> 00:25:35,360 cover what we're using this time 469 00:25:38,789 --> 00:25:37,840 because i want to emphasize that okay i 470 00:25:41,350 --> 00:25:38,799 just want to make sure we got it 471 00:25:42,070 --> 00:25:41,360 again so on this flight for the crew 2 472 00:25:44,390 --> 00:25:42,080 mission 473 00:25:46,390 --> 00:25:44,400 this dragon capsule that's flying is the 474 00:25:47,110 --> 00:25:46,400 same one that bob benkin and doug hurley 475 00:25:49,750 --> 00:25:47,120 flew 476 00:25:50,230 --> 00:25:49,760 last may and i think that's kind of cool 477 00:25:52,149 --> 00:25:50,240 because 478 00:25:53,669 --> 00:25:52,159 megan macarthur gets to fly in the same 479 00:25:54,390 --> 00:25:53,679 vehicle that her husband flew on same 480 00:25:56,149 --> 00:25:54,400 seat 481 00:25:58,149 --> 00:25:56,159 and there and it's uh they named it 482 00:26:00,149 --> 00:25:58,159 endeavor uh bob and doug 483 00:26:01,669 --> 00:26:00,159 and so endeavors flying again and i was 484 00:26:02,230 --> 00:26:01,679 always kind of partial to endeavor that 485 00:26:06,149 --> 00:26:02,240 was 486 00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:06,159 one of my favorites and uh and the uh 487 00:26:10,070 --> 00:26:09,120 the uh the booster uh flew on crew one 488 00:26:12,630 --> 00:26:10,080 and now it 489 00:26:13,669 --> 00:26:12,640 is uh flying again on uh on crew two 490 00:26:16,070 --> 00:26:13,679 pretty pretty cool 491 00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:16,080 very exciting stuff so thank you sir uh 492 00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:18,240 mr jerzik a couple questions for you 493 00:26:21,669 --> 00:26:19,840 um again all these kind of put people on 494 00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:21,679 the spot here uh the soyuz 495 00:26:24,710 --> 00:26:23,520 can take about three hours to launch and 496 00:26:25,990 --> 00:26:24,720 dock and 497 00:26:28,149 --> 00:26:26,000 for this mission we're looking at 498 00:26:29,110 --> 00:26:28,159 roughly 24 hours a docking time 499 00:26:31,909 --> 00:26:29,120 estimated at 500 00:26:33,750 --> 00:26:31,919 5 10 a.m on saturday uh what's the 501 00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:33,760 difference there in those times 502 00:26:38,230 --> 00:26:36,480 yeah so we've we've evolved the soyuz 503 00:26:40,630 --> 00:26:38,240 operation actually soyuz used to take 504 00:26:42,230 --> 00:26:40,640 multiple orbits in a while to dock 505 00:26:43,590 --> 00:26:42,240 and we've worked with as russians have 506 00:26:45,029 --> 00:26:43,600 evolved their capability and their 507 00:26:46,549 --> 00:26:45,039 systems and we've evolved operations 508 00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:46,559 we've been able to hone it 509 00:26:50,710 --> 00:26:48,799 so it's just um you know what uh you 510 00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:50,720 know launching and phasing with station 511 00:26:55,269 --> 00:26:53,520 and getting getting to rendezvous and 512 00:26:57,029 --> 00:26:55,279 docking and docking yeah 513 00:26:58,310 --> 00:26:57,039 awesome yeah and so people might ask the 514 00:27:01,430 --> 00:26:58,320 question why would we launch 515 00:27:03,029 --> 00:27:01,440 at 5 49 a.m and it's not by choice it's 516 00:27:04,230 --> 00:27:03,039 by this that's when we got to catch the 517 00:27:06,310 --> 00:27:04,240 space station correct and we're waiting 518 00:27:07,750 --> 00:27:06,320 for space station to come over and 519 00:27:09,350 --> 00:27:07,760 phase with them so we can most 520 00:27:10,630 --> 00:27:09,360 efficiently and effectively get to 521 00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:10,640 rendezvous and docking 522 00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:12,640 bob so i haven't checked yet but i got 523 00:27:15,990 --> 00:27:14,320 to jump in real quick steve so because 524 00:27:19,269 --> 00:27:16,000 we're launching at that time of day 525 00:27:19,590 --> 00:27:19,279 that is right before sunrise and uh for 526 00:27:21,750 --> 00:27:19,600 uh 527 00:27:23,110 --> 00:27:21,760 all the space affection autos out there 528 00:27:24,710 --> 00:27:23,120 right before we launch 529 00:27:26,389 --> 00:27:24,720 you're gonna see the space station come 530 00:27:29,110 --> 00:27:26,399 overhead on the uh 531 00:27:30,389 --> 00:27:29,120 pretty much the same orbit as the uh uh 532 00:27:32,230 --> 00:27:30,399 falcon launches to 533 00:27:33,990 --> 00:27:32,240 catch up with it so i'm hoping for 534 00:27:34,310 --> 00:27:34,000 really clear skies and being able to 535 00:27:36,950 --> 00:27:34,320 step 536 00:27:38,149 --> 00:27:36,960 out and see the iss track over it it's 537 00:27:39,430 --> 00:27:38,159 something it's awesome it's the 538 00:27:41,430 --> 00:27:39,440 brightest star in the 539 00:27:43,190 --> 00:27:41,440 sky when it comes over and i think i'm 540 00:27:44,789 --> 00:27:43,200 not sure which launcher was the second 541 00:27:45,269 --> 00:27:44,799 or third from the last shuttle launch 542 00:27:47,190 --> 00:27:45,279 was a 543 00:27:48,549 --> 00:27:47,200 pre-dawn launch and it was really cool 544 00:27:49,350 --> 00:27:48,559 to see the station go overhead it's 545 00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:49,360 really easy to see 546 00:27:53,430 --> 00:27:51,600 and then launch and of course you know 547 00:27:55,029 --> 00:27:53,440 any pre-dawn or night launch is simply 548 00:27:56,470 --> 00:27:55,039 amazing and for shuttle it was just 549 00:27:58,630 --> 00:27:56,480 incredible i think i was a crossover at 550 00:28:00,070 --> 00:27:58,640 banana creek watching that shuttle fight 551 00:28:01,029 --> 00:28:00,080 and the pre-dawn launches are just 552 00:28:03,110 --> 00:28:01,039 amazing 553 00:28:04,149 --> 00:28:03,120 yeah so if you're in the area uh please 554 00:28:05,909 --> 00:28:04,159 make sure you step outside 555 00:28:07,350 --> 00:28:05,919 most anywhere in florida on a clear 556 00:28:08,789 --> 00:28:07,360 night you can see a night launch taking 557 00:28:10,630 --> 00:28:08,799 place so hope you'll see that 558 00:28:11,909 --> 00:28:10,640 and josh you'll correct me if i get this 559 00:28:15,350 --> 00:28:11,919 wrong but i think it's uh 560 00:28:18,389 --> 00:28:15,360 nasa.gov forward slash spot the station 561 00:28:21,510 --> 00:28:18,399 and it will take you to you just you 562 00:28:23,990 --> 00:28:21,520 you can put in any destination but um 563 00:28:25,590 --> 00:28:24,000 if you uh plug in uh cape canaveral 564 00:28:27,269 --> 00:28:25,600 you'll get the times and all the other 565 00:28:29,110 --> 00:28:27,279 information for where to look in the sky 566 00:28:30,870 --> 00:28:29,120 and some really cool apps a really cool 567 00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:30,880 app that will 568 00:28:33,990 --> 00:28:32,320 give you a reminder of when the next 569 00:28:35,590 --> 00:28:34,000 pass will be in your area yeah if you 570 00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:35,600 search for spot the station nasa you'll 571 00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:36,000 find it 572 00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:37,760 i'm not sure if it's nasa.gov slash spot 573 00:28:41,269 --> 00:28:40,320 the station or spot the station.nasa.gov 574 00:28:42,950 --> 00:28:41,279 it's one of those 575 00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:42,960 uh but that's yeah and you can pro you 576 00:28:45,750 --> 00:28:44,399 can actually set up text alerts 577 00:28:47,269 --> 00:28:45,760 so they'll text you and tell you hey the 578 00:28:48,710 --> 00:28:47,279 station's going to be visible we'll tell 579 00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:48,720 you where to look and what time to look 580 00:28:51,029 --> 00:28:49,840 and how long you'll be able to see it 581 00:28:52,389 --> 00:28:51,039 for so 582 00:28:54,149 --> 00:28:52,399 it's incredible to be able to see things 583 00:28:56,389 --> 00:28:54,159 in space and know we have people 584 00:28:57,990 --> 00:28:56,399 living there and have for i think almost 585 00:29:00,070 --> 00:28:58,000 22 years now 586 00:29:01,990 --> 00:29:00,080 we're coming up on 22. yeah well it was 587 00:29:04,149 --> 00:29:02,000 uh november of 2000 588 00:29:05,350 --> 00:29:04,159 when uh you would know something about 589 00:29:07,430 --> 00:29:05,360 that i think no no my 590 00:29:09,110 --> 00:29:07,440 mind was prior to that but when we sent 591 00:29:10,870 --> 00:29:09,120 crew up was november 2000 592 00:29:13,669 --> 00:29:10,880 and of course that was yuri godzinko 593 00:29:15,909 --> 00:29:13,679 bill shepherd and sergey krikalov 594 00:29:16,710 --> 00:29:15,919 first crew on the iss to actually live 595 00:29:19,510 --> 00:29:16,720 on it 596 00:29:20,310 --> 00:29:19,520 um but i gotta these two need to comment 597 00:29:21,510 --> 00:29:20,320 on this 598 00:29:23,909 --> 00:29:21,520 when these guys get up there they're 599 00:29:24,710 --> 00:29:23,919 gonna have 11 people on on the space 600 00:29:26,549 --> 00:29:24,720 station 601 00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:26,559 you know tracy you've been up there what 602 00:29:29,430 --> 00:29:27,760 what's it going to be like with 11 603 00:29:31,510 --> 00:29:29,440 people on iss 604 00:29:33,669 --> 00:29:31,520 so as some context here it's no please 605 00:29:35,830 --> 00:29:33,679 it's it's the size of a football field 606 00:29:37,190 --> 00:29:35,840 but the living space is i think i've 607 00:29:39,750 --> 00:29:37,200 heard roughly like a four 608 00:29:40,470 --> 00:29:39,760 or five bedroom house yeah and so it's 609 00:29:42,789 --> 00:29:40,480 not 610 00:29:44,389 --> 00:29:42,799 enormous inside it's it's spacious but 611 00:29:47,430 --> 00:29:44,399 11 people is a lot of people 612 00:29:47,830 --> 00:29:47,440 yeah it's cozy and um when when we used 613 00:29:50,549 --> 00:29:47,840 to have 614 00:29:52,230 --> 00:29:50,559 uh two two soyuz crews so that's six 615 00:29:53,990 --> 00:29:52,240 people plus a full complement on a 616 00:29:57,190 --> 00:29:54,000 shuttle that would be 13. so we've seen 617 00:29:59,669 --> 00:29:57,200 this before but this is going to be 618 00:30:01,590 --> 00:29:59,679 rather cozy with so many folks actually 619 00:30:03,590 --> 00:30:01,600 living on the station on the shuttle 620 00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:03,600 uh the shuttle crews would most they 621 00:30:08,470 --> 00:30:05,279 would live inside the shuttle 622 00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:08,480 um and uh and be sleeping inside 623 00:30:11,990 --> 00:30:11,120 the mid deck but uh today now that we're 624 00:30:13,430 --> 00:30:12,000 gonna have uh 625 00:30:15,350 --> 00:30:13,440 dragons up there the capsules are too 626 00:30:17,110 --> 00:30:15,360 small uh there may be one crew member 627 00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:17,120 inside that capsule for now but for the 628 00:30:20,710 --> 00:30:18,480 rest of the folks they're gonna be 629 00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:20,720 living and sleeping inside the space 630 00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:22,080 station we don't even have enough 631 00:30:24,470 --> 00:30:23,760 bedrooms for all of them and so they'll 632 00:30:27,510 --> 00:30:24,480 be 633 00:30:29,909 --> 00:30:27,520 camping out on rack fronts but uh 634 00:30:31,269 --> 00:30:29,919 the um i would say that the the thing to 635 00:30:32,870 --> 00:30:31,279 keep in mind though about the space 636 00:30:35,029 --> 00:30:32,880 station is though it's the volume 637 00:30:37,590 --> 00:30:35,039 roughly about a five bedroom house you 638 00:30:39,350 --> 00:30:37,600 have um you have the entire volume 639 00:30:40,950 --> 00:30:39,360 whereas you can flip upside down and be 640 00:30:42,630 --> 00:30:40,960 walking on a different surface and so it 641 00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:42,640 may seem a little roomier 642 00:30:46,870 --> 00:30:45,520 uh but not a whole lot more and and i 643 00:30:47,990 --> 00:30:46,880 hear mr davina you have 644 00:30:49,269 --> 00:30:48,000 some comments on this as well i'd love 645 00:30:50,230 --> 00:30:49,279 to hear that and we also had a question 646 00:30:52,950 --> 00:30:50,240 come in 647 00:30:55,510 --> 00:30:52,960 and the question was what was it like 648 00:30:58,630 --> 00:30:55,520 being in space for the first time 649 00:31:01,029 --> 00:30:58,640 so yes it can get cozy up there i think 650 00:31:02,310 --> 00:31:01,039 the dining table or at the space station 651 00:31:04,870 --> 00:31:02,320 is about the size of 652 00:31:06,549 --> 00:31:04,880 this black here so uh one and a half by 653 00:31:07,269 --> 00:31:06,559 one and a half meter or something like 654 00:31:09,350 --> 00:31:07,279 that and 655 00:31:10,789 --> 00:31:09,360 i have very nice pictures exactly like 656 00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:10,799 tracy said with uh 657 00:31:14,710 --> 00:31:12,880 the seven people from the shuttle and 658 00:31:17,830 --> 00:31:14,720 the six people from iss so 659 00:31:19,029 --> 00:31:17,840 13 people around this small table but 660 00:31:21,269 --> 00:31:19,039 then indeed you can 661 00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:21,279 look from the top and you can hang under 662 00:31:24,310 --> 00:31:22,640 the bottom so it's uh 663 00:31:26,149 --> 00:31:24,320 you can use the third dimension so that 664 00:31:28,310 --> 00:31:26,159 makes it a little bit more uh 665 00:31:30,149 --> 00:31:28,320 uh feasible and of course yeah my first 666 00:31:30,950 --> 00:31:30,159 flight i think it's a little bit the 667 00:31:33,430 --> 00:31:30,960 same 668 00:31:33,990 --> 00:31:33,440 like any astronaut it might sound cliche 669 00:31:35,830 --> 00:31:34,000 but 670 00:31:38,230 --> 00:31:35,840 looking down and seeing this amazing 671 00:31:40,950 --> 00:31:38,240 planet uh from up there is uh 672 00:31:43,110 --> 00:31:40,960 is really great how beautiful this is 673 00:31:45,750 --> 00:31:43,120 but now also linking to to earth day 674 00:31:47,830 --> 00:31:45,760 how how vulnerable our planet really is 675 00:31:50,070 --> 00:31:47,840 and we really need to take care of 676 00:31:51,590 --> 00:31:50,080 because today this is still the only 677 00:31:53,269 --> 00:31:51,600 place that we have to live 678 00:31:55,669 --> 00:31:53,279 there is not something else where we can 679 00:31:56,710 --> 00:31:55,679 go uh very quickly so we need to take 680 00:31:59,190 --> 00:31:56,720 care of 681 00:32:00,789 --> 00:31:59,200 this planet uh very well and the second 682 00:32:02,310 --> 00:32:00,799 thing that i noticed okay this was a 683 00:32:03,909 --> 00:32:02,320 little bit later already but 684 00:32:05,909 --> 00:32:03,919 still i was trying to see where is 685 00:32:06,549 --> 00:32:05,919 belgium where is germany cologne because 686 00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:06,559 my home base 687 00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:08,640 is in cologne and you don't see any 688 00:32:12,870 --> 00:32:10,480 borders from space 689 00:32:15,029 --> 00:32:12,880 it's impossible to see so flying from 690 00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:15,039 belgium to to germany to poland to 691 00:32:18,710 --> 00:32:16,640 ukraine to russia 692 00:32:20,870 --> 00:32:18,720 there are no borders and uh we all know 693 00:32:23,509 --> 00:32:20,880 in in which state the world is today 694 00:32:25,350 --> 00:32:23,519 uh unfortunately and uh and so i wish 695 00:32:27,029 --> 00:32:25,360 that maybe some more people could see 696 00:32:30,149 --> 00:32:27,039 our planet from above and see that we 697 00:32:33,110 --> 00:32:30,159 are all one human kind living on one 698 00:32:34,389 --> 00:32:33,120 very very little tiny ball uh in the 699 00:32:36,310 --> 00:32:34,399 immense universe 700 00:32:37,430 --> 00:32:36,320 yeah that's awesome thank you jasmine 701 00:32:39,750 --> 00:32:37,440 question for you came in 702 00:32:40,630 --> 00:32:39,760 uh what advice do you have for someone 703 00:32:42,310 --> 00:32:40,640 in college 704 00:32:43,669 --> 00:32:42,320 who would like to be an astronaut or 705 00:32:46,149 --> 00:32:43,679 work for nasa 706 00:32:48,149 --> 00:32:46,159 and and i'll start that by saying you 707 00:32:49,190 --> 00:32:48,159 beat a lot of odds i think in your class 708 00:32:50,549 --> 00:32:49,200 there were something like fifteen 709 00:32:52,149 --> 00:32:50,559 thousand applicants 710 00:32:54,870 --> 00:32:52,159 and i think twelve candidates were 711 00:32:57,669 --> 00:32:54,880 selected uh was it more than that tracy 712 00:33:00,389 --> 00:32:57,679 it 18 000. okay did you look at all 18 713 00:33:04,149 --> 00:33:03,190 yeah so um as you said it was extremely 714 00:33:05,909 --> 00:33:04,159 competitive and i 715 00:33:08,470 --> 00:33:05,919 still can't believe i was one of those 716 00:33:12,230 --> 00:33:08,480 12 um looking back but 717 00:33:13,669 --> 00:33:12,240 um i think the most important advice i 718 00:33:16,789 --> 00:33:13,679 can give is there 719 00:33:18,230 --> 00:33:16,799 if you look at our astronaut office 720 00:33:20,230 --> 00:33:18,240 people come from all different 721 00:33:21,990 --> 00:33:20,240 backgrounds so there's no one path and 722 00:33:22,710 --> 00:33:22,000 there's no checklist to becoming an 723 00:33:24,630 --> 00:33:22,720 astronaut 724 00:33:25,990 --> 00:33:24,640 but i think if you look at each of us 725 00:33:27,830 --> 00:33:26,000 you could say we 726 00:33:29,669 --> 00:33:27,840 did something that we were passionate 727 00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:29,679 about and 728 00:33:33,990 --> 00:33:32,320 we did our best to excel in that field 729 00:33:34,710 --> 00:33:34,000 because as an astronaut you end up 730 00:33:36,230 --> 00:33:34,720 needing to know 731 00:33:37,990 --> 00:33:36,240 a little bit of everything you know i've 732 00:33:39,750 --> 00:33:38,000 had to learn geology since being here 733 00:33:41,590 --> 00:33:39,760 i've had to learn about medicine i've 734 00:33:42,230 --> 00:33:41,600 had to learn about maintaining the 735 00:33:43,830 --> 00:33:42,240 vehicle 736 00:33:45,350 --> 00:33:43,840 and and all these things which are not 737 00:33:46,310 --> 00:33:45,360 you know i'm at helicopter pilot and 738 00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:46,320 test pot 739 00:33:51,909 --> 00:33:50,080 so that's not my background but just um 740 00:33:53,430 --> 00:33:51,919 you know picking something that you 741 00:33:55,269 --> 00:33:53,440 really love and 742 00:33:56,789 --> 00:33:55,279 and because of that you will be 743 00:33:57,430 --> 00:33:56,799 passionate about it and you will excel 744 00:33:58,870 --> 00:33:57,440 in it 745 00:34:00,710 --> 00:33:58,880 we you know we have generally picked 746 00:34:03,029 --> 00:34:00,720 people from scientific 747 00:34:04,710 --> 00:34:03,039 uh stem fields you know engineering 748 00:34:07,110 --> 00:34:04,720 mathematics those fields 749 00:34:08,550 --> 00:34:07,120 um but i think just do what you love is 750 00:34:09,430 --> 00:34:08,560 is the most important advice i could 751 00:34:10,790 --> 00:34:09,440 give 752 00:34:11,909 --> 00:34:10,800 one of the things that i'll this is my 753 00:34:13,190 --> 00:34:11,919 own question kind of for you and i've 754 00:34:15,349 --> 00:34:13,200 heard this talked about 755 00:34:16,629 --> 00:34:15,359 people think that astronauts have to be 756 00:34:18,069 --> 00:34:16,639 these incredible leaders and i think 757 00:34:19,829 --> 00:34:18,079 that's probably true 758 00:34:21,669 --> 00:34:19,839 but i almost as quickly hear astronauts 759 00:34:22,550 --> 00:34:21,679 say you need to be a team follower as 760 00:34:24,550 --> 00:34:22,560 well 761 00:34:26,629 --> 00:34:24,560 can you speak to that and how critical 762 00:34:29,669 --> 00:34:26,639 that is a lesson for all of us 763 00:34:30,950 --> 00:34:29,679 yeah absolutely and and you know my 764 00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:30,960 background in the marine corps 765 00:34:34,069 --> 00:34:33,040 i feel like i learned it set me up very 766 00:34:37,109 --> 00:34:34,079 well for success 767 00:34:40,550 --> 00:34:37,119 here and i i think really you need to be 768 00:34:43,349 --> 00:34:40,560 able to be a good follower to be 769 00:34:45,190 --> 00:34:43,359 to be a good leader because the same 770 00:34:45,909 --> 00:34:45,200 traits and the same skills you need to 771 00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:45,919 have 772 00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:48,240 carry over if you can't if you can't 773 00:34:50,550 --> 00:34:49,760 listen to someone and hear their 774 00:34:52,550 --> 00:34:50,560 perspective 775 00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:52,560 and take that into your input and and 776 00:34:55,510 --> 00:34:54,240 build your situational awareness from 777 00:34:58,870 --> 00:34:55,520 that 778 00:34:59,349 --> 00:34:58,880 you can't lead either so uh being a team 779 00:35:02,069 --> 00:34:59,359 player 780 00:35:03,030 --> 00:35:02,079 is is critical especially you talk about 781 00:35:06,870 --> 00:35:03,040 11 people 782 00:35:08,870 --> 00:35:06,880 in a five-bedroom house you know 783 00:35:11,270 --> 00:35:08,880 you have to be a team player or you're 784 00:35:12,950 --> 00:35:11,280 gonna go crazy 785 00:35:14,390 --> 00:35:12,960 yeah that's very good and like i said a 786 00:35:15,349 --> 00:35:14,400 lesson for all of us and what it takes 787 00:35:17,430 --> 00:35:15,359 to get there 788 00:35:18,710 --> 00:35:17,440 um so we are about out of time for this 789 00:35:19,750 --> 00:35:18,720 morning um i want to give everybody a 790 00:35:22,150 --> 00:35:19,760 chance to kind of say 791 00:35:22,950 --> 00:35:22,160 a last word kind of uh whether it be a 792 00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:22,960 thought for 793 00:35:26,150 --> 00:35:24,800 people watching that um something that 794 00:35:28,630 --> 00:35:26,160 they should know about this mission 795 00:35:29,190 --> 00:35:28,640 or know about our work collectively um 796 00:35:31,109 --> 00:35:29,200 or just 797 00:35:32,470 --> 00:35:31,119 if you want to say hey i'm excited for 798 00:35:33,990 --> 00:35:32,480 launch we'll start here on my right and 799 00:35:37,510 --> 00:35:34,000 we'll work our way down the list here 800 00:35:39,349 --> 00:35:37,520 mr cabana i think uh 801 00:35:41,109 --> 00:35:39,359

our space program 811 00:36:00,390 --> 00:35:58,480 we are a world leader we're a world 812 00:36:02,550 --> 00:36:00,400 leader in space 813 00:36:03,430 --> 00:36:02,560 we have to learn how to live off our 814 00:36:05,430 --> 00:36:03,440 home planet 815 00:36:07,030 --> 00:36:05,440 to explore beyond to establish a 816 00:36:08,069 --> 00:36:07,040 presence in the solar system beyond 817 00:36:09,109 --> 00:36:08,079 planet earth 818 00:36:10,630 --> 00:36:09,119 that's what we're learning on the 819 00:36:11,670 --> 00:36:10,640 international space station that's what 820 00:36:13,750 --> 00:36:11,680 we're going to learn 821 00:36:16,069 --> 00:36:13,760 when we go forward to the moon and 822 00:36:17,990 --> 00:36:16,079 establish a sustained presence there 823

find 835 00:36:47,190 --> 00:36:45,359 really exciting 836 00:36:48,870 --> 00:36:47,200 about you know launching this crew to 837 00:36:50,790 --> 00:36:48,880 the international space station is 838 00:36:52,230 --> 00:36:50,800 we're not just we just don't have people 839 00:36:55,109 --> 00:36:52,240 just living up there 840 00:36:56,390 --> 00:36:55,119 they're doing uh research um and 841 00:37:00,150 --> 00:36:56,400 experiments that 842 00:37:01,990 --> 00:37:00,160 directly impact us down here and 843 00:37:04,069 --> 00:37:02,000 whether it comes to the crew looking 844 00:37:06,230 --> 00:37:04,079 back at the earth they've with the crew 845 00:37:08,710 --> 00:37:06,240 earth observation program they've taken 846 00:37:11,829 --> 00:37:08,720 millions of pictures and 847 00:37:13,990 --> 00:37:11,839 because of the trajectory of the space 848 00:37:16,230 --> 00:37:14,000 station and and its orbit 849 00:37:17,750 --> 00:37:16,240 you know we can take those images over 850 00:37:19,990 --> 00:37:17,760 time and we cover 851 00:37:21,349 --> 00:37:20,000 so much of the earth and look over them 852 00:37:25,030 --> 00:37:21,359 and say hey what can we do 853 00:37:27,430 --> 00:37:25,040 to protect our planet and you know 854 00:37:28,870 --> 00:37:27,440 as frank mentioned this is the only home 855 00:37:29,990 --> 00:37:28,880 we have right now so we need to take 856 00:37:31,430 --> 00:37:30,000 care of it i think that's really 857 00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:31,440 important and also 858 00:37:36,230 --> 00:37:34,720 the uh research they do that as you 859 00:37:38,710 --> 00:37:36,240 mentioned uh steve 860 00:37:40,470 --> 00:37:38,720 for medical purposes that uh you know 861 00:37:41,589 --> 00:37:40,480 the tissue chips experiment if 862 00:37:42,950 --> 00:37:41,599 i'm not going to talk about it now 863 00:37:43,910 --> 00:37:42,960 because we don't have much time but you 864 00:37:46,630 --> 00:37:43,920 should look it up it's 865 00:37:47,510 --> 00:37:46,640 some incredibly cool stuff that we're 866 00:37:49,430 --> 00:37:47,520 doing up there 867 00:37:50,950 --> 00:37:49,440 um and so i think that's really worth 868 00:37:53,990 --> 00:37:50,960 mentioning and i'm 869 00:37:55,990 --> 00:37:54,000 extremely excited to watch uh to watch 870 00:37:57,270 --> 00:37:56,000 shane megan aki and tomah launch into 871 00:37:59,589 --> 00:37:57,280 space 872 00:38:00,790 --> 00:37:59,599 thank you jasmine tracy uh i know we'll 873 00:38:01,270 --> 00:38:00,800 get to hear more from you on friday 874 00:38:03,190 --> 00:38:01,280 morning 875 00:38:04,790 --> 00:38:03,200 um on the launch broadcast there was a 876 00:38:07,030 --> 00:38:04,800 question about what would you 877 00:38:08,550 --> 00:38:07,040 encourage little girls with as far as 878 00:38:10,230 --> 00:38:08,560 them growing up and becoming 879 00:38:12,550 --> 00:38:10,240 engineers or involved in stem or 880 00:38:13,990 --> 00:38:12,560 astronauts what advice would you give 881 00:38:16,310 --> 00:38:14,000 what advice would i give to the little 882 00:38:18,790 --> 00:38:16,320 girls well um i would uh 883 00:38:19,750 --> 00:38:18,800 i just have to echo what jasmine said 884 00:38:22,390 --> 00:38:19,760 and that is 885 00:38:23,190 --> 00:38:22,400 find what you enjoy doing and take stock 886 00:38:25,510 --> 00:38:23,200 in that 887 00:38:26,390 --> 00:38:25,520 and whatever you do later on in life 888 00:38:27,990 --> 00:38:26,400 make sure 889 00:38:29,270 --> 00:38:28,000 that it involves those things because 890 00:38:30,790 --> 00:38:29,280 it's those things which are going to get 891 00:38:32,390 --> 00:38:30,800 you out of bed without your alarm clock 892 00:38:34,069 --> 00:38:32,400 or your mom and dad telling you 893 00:38:35,589 --> 00:38:34,079 that you need to get out and go do that 894 00:38:37,270 --> 00:38:35,599 thing and i think that 895 00:38:39,109 --> 00:38:37,280 first it's to discover what you enjoy 896 00:38:39,349 --> 00:38:39,119 doing and then it's invest your time in 897 00:38:41,109 --> 00:38:39,359 it 898 00:38:42,950 --> 00:38:41,119 and that's going to pay huge dividends 899 00:38:43,270 --> 00:38:42,960 whether you want to go into a certain 900 00:38:44,550 --> 00:38:43,280 field 901 00:38:46,390 --> 00:38:44,560 or you know you want to go into that 902 00:38:48,310 --> 00:38:46,400 field or you're still 903 00:38:50,150 --> 00:38:48,320 trying to discover where you want to be 904 00:38:51,270 --> 00:38:50,160 i think that's really the right path to 905 00:38:54,550 --> 00:38:51,280 start yourself on 906 00:38:55,190 --> 00:38:54,560 awesome thank you uh mr davina and one 907 00:38:57,190 --> 00:38:55,200 of the things 908 00:38:58,870 -->

00:39:03,589 --> 00:39:02,720 finish a science project a science 912 00:39:05,030 --> 00:39:03,599 research project 913 00:39:07,109 --> 00:39:05,040 that he started years ago and i think 914 00:39:08,390 --> 00:39:07,119 that's cool um and and i know jasmine 915 00:39:09,109 --> 00:39:08,400 mentioned the science as well so lots of 916 00:39:10,950 --> 00:39:09,119 science here 917 00:39:12,310 --> 00:39:10,960 that we haven't talked about today but 918 00:39:13,990 --> 00:39:12,320 incredible research happening 919 00:39:15,510 --> 00:39:14,000 yeah there is incredible research
