payload bay if during a 589 00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:24,470 down into the payload bay if during a space 590 00:11:24,470 --> 00:11:24,480 space 591 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,949 space walk we drop some tool we were able to 592 00:11:26,949 --> 00:11:26,959 walk we drop some tool we were able to 593 00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:29,030 walk we drop some tool we were able to fly that tool right down to the hand of 594 00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:29,040 fly that tool right down to the hand of 595 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,269 fly that tool right down to the hand of the space walker so the hand can reach 596 00:11:31,269 --> 00:11:31,279 the space walker so the hand can reach 597 00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:33,670 the space walker so the hand can reach out and grab it we have those kinds of 598 00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:33,680 out and grab it we have those kinds of 599 00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:35,990 out and grab it we have those kinds of capabilities the thing we were up to 600 00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:36,000 capabilities the thing we were up to 601 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,230 capabilities the thing we were up to yesterday was that for seven straight 602 00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:38,240 yesterday was that for seven straight 603 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,350 yesterday was that for seven straight hours we did not fire a single jet on 604 00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:41,360 hours we did not fire a single jet on 605 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,750 hours we did not fire a single jet on this vehicle to keep a pristine 606 00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:43,760 this vehicle to keep a pristine 607 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,509 this vehicle to keep a pristine environment for the wake shield facility 608 00:11:47,509 --> 00:11:47,519 environment for the wake shield facility 609 00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:50,069 environment for the wake shield facility we could have flown away at any time the 610 00:11:50,069 --> 00:11:50,079 we could have flown away at any time the 611 00:11:50,079 --> 00:11:52,470 we could have flown away at any time the reason we hesitated and did exactly what 612 00:11:52,470 --> 00:11:52,480 reason we hesitated and did exactly what 613 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,110 reason we hesitated and did exactly what we did was not to fire a jet 614 00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:55,120 we did was not to fire a jet 615 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,430 we did was not to fire a jet and we had good view on that television 616 00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:57,440 and we had good view on that television 617 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,030 and we had good view on that television cameras and we let it float on by 618 00:12:01,030 --> 00:12:01,040 cameras and we let it float on by 619 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,350 cameras and we let it float on by you were told by nasa before you took 620 00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:03,360 you were told by nasa before you took 621 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,190 you were told by nasa before you took off on this mission that this would be 622 00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:05,200 off on this mission that this would be 623 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,829 off on this mission that this would be your last space flight 624 00:12:07,829 --> 00:12:07,839 your last space flight 625 00:12:07,839 --> 00:12:09,430 your last space flight in the program 626 00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:09,440 in the program 627 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,150 in the program knowing that has it approached the 628 00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:12,160 knowing that has it approached the 629 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,990 knowing that has it approached the change the approach of the way you have 630

it's been an incredible privilege to work for about 30 years both on the 654 00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:42,800 work for about 30 years both on the 655 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,710 work for about 30 years both on the ground and in space 656 00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:44,720 ground and in space 657 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,030 ground and in space and i also have the kind of imagination 658 00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:47,040 and i also have the kind of imagination 659 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,790 and i also have the kind of imagination that i've had enough experience up here 660 00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:48,800 that i've had enough experience up here 661 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,470 that i've had enough experience up here that my imagination will be able to put 662 00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:50,480 that my imagination will be able to put 663 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,590 that my imagination will be able to put me up here in the future 664 00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:53,600 me up here in the future 665 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,430 me up here in the future are there certain images of space though 666 00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:55,440 are there certain images of space though 667 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,949 are there certain images of space though that you're trying to freeze in your 668 00:12:56,949 --> 00:12:56,959 that you're trying to freeze in your 669 00:12:56,959 --> 00:12:59,829 that you're trying to freeze in your mind so you simply just don't forget the 670 00:12:59,829 --> 00:12:59,839 mind so you simply just don't forget the 671 00:12:59,839 --> 00:13:03,509 mind so you simply just don't forget the magic of all of this 672 00:13:03,509 --> 00:13:03,519 673 00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:05,430 well i worked very hard in that all the 674 00:13:05,430 --> 00:13:05,440 well i worked very hard in that all the 675 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,750 well i worked very hard in that all the time and not only to technically do the 676 00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:07,760 time and not only to technically do the 677 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,829 time and not only to technically do the job i need to do but to be in a way a 678 00:13:09,829 --> 00:13:09,839 job i need to do but to be in a way a 679 00:13:09,839 --> 00:13:11,590 job i need to do but to be in a way a parallel processor that has an 680 00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:11,600 parallel processor that has an 681 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,230 parallel processor that has an experience of space uh what is going on 682 00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:14,240 experience of space uh what is going on 683 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,670 experience of space uh what is going on in the head what is going on in the 684 00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:15,680 in the head what is going on in the 685 00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:17,670 in the head what is going on in the heart what is going on in the soul so to 686 00:13:17,670 --> 00:13:17,680 heart what is going on in the soul so to 687 00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:19,670 heart what is going on in the soul so to continue up in space you are having a 688 00:13:19,670 --> 00:13:19,680 continue up in space you are having a 689 00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:21,190 continue up in space you are having a human experience 690 00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:21,200 human experience 691 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,190 human experience i try to catch those experiences and 692 00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:23,200 i try to catch those experiences and 693 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,590 i try to catch those experiences and bring them home and express that to 694 00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:25,600 bring them home and express that to 695 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,030 bring them home and express that to other people such that they can 696 00:13:27,030 --> 00:13:27,040 other people such that they can 697 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,470 other people such that they can vicariously 698 00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:28,480 vicariously 699 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,069 vicariously also 700 00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:30,079 also 701 00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:32,470 also get into space and so that we as a 702 00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:32,480 get into space and so that we as a 703 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,190 get into space and so that we as a species can evolve into being 704 00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:35,200 species can evolve into being 705 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,829 species can evolve into being space creatures which we actually are 706 00:13:37,829 --> 00:13:37,839 space creatures which we actually are 707 00:13:37,839 --> 00:13:40,150 space creatures which we actually are and so even on this flight here too now 708 00:13:40,150 --> 00:13:40,160 and so even on this flight here too now 709 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,069 and so even on this flight here too now there are some images i could go over 710 00:13:42,069 --> 00:13:42,079 there are some images i could go over 711 00:13:42,079 --> 00:13:43,829 there are some images i could go over hundreds of them but just a picture of 712 00:13:43,829 --> 00:13:43,839 hundreds of them but just a picture of 713 00:13:43,839 --> 00:13:45,750 hundreds of them but just a picture of the baja california the picture of 714 00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:45,760 the baja california the picture of 715 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:46,949 the baja california the picture of mexico 716 00:13:46,949 --> 00:13:46,959 mexico 717 00:13:46,959 --> 00:13:49,110 mexico is being embedded in my mind right now 718 00:13:49,110 --> 00:13:49,120 is being embedded in my mind right now 719 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,870 is being embedded in my mind right now even though i've seen it many times 720 00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:50,880 even though i've seen it many times 721 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,150 even though i've seen it many times before 722 00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:52,160 before 723 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,629 before the look of saudi arabia the near east 724 00:13:54,629 --> 00:13:54,639 the look of saudi arabia the near east 725 00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:57,350 the look of saudi arabia the near east the now swinging over the himalayas as 726 00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:57,360 the now swinging over the himalayas as 727 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,230 the now swinging over the himalayas as we've done multiple times those images 728 00:14:00,230 --> 00:14:00,240 we've done multiple times those images 729 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,470 we've done multiple times those images are being implanted those experiences 730 00:14:02,470 --> 00:14:02,480 are being implanted those experiences 731 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,430 are being implanted those experiences are being carried forward 732 00:14:05,430 --> 00:14:05,440 are being carried forward 733 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,750 are being carried forward as you look out the windows of the 734 00:14:07,750 --> 00:14:07,760 as you look out the windows of the 735 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,310 as you look out the windows of the shuttle uh are you trying to concentrate 736 00:14:10,310 --> 00:14:10,320 shuttle uh are you trying to concentrate 737 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,870 shuttle uh are you trying to concentrate on different things this time around for 738 00:14:12,870 --> 00:14:12,880 on different things this time around for 739 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,910 on different things this time around for your collective memory 740 00:14:17,910 --> 00:14:17,920 741 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,670 and have an experience you look at what 742 00:14:19,670 --> 00:14:19,680 and have an experience you look at what 743 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,509 and have an experience you look at what opportunities 744 00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:21,519 opportunities 745 00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:23,750 opportunities are available to you that may be that 746 00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:23,760 are available to you that may be that 747 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,990 are available to you that may be that maybe weren't on earlier flights but you 748 00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:26,000 maybe weren't on earlier flights but you 749 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,310 maybe weren't on earlier flights but you tried to enrich the previous ones you've 750 00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:28,320 tried to enrich the previous ones you've 751 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,430 tried to enrich the previous ones you've had 752 00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:29,440 had 753 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,269 had it's spectacular to look out there to 754 00:14:31,269 --> 00:14:31,279 it's spectacular to look out there to 755 00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:34,550 it's spectacular to look out there to sunrise uh and to see our two satellites 756 00:14:34,550 --> 00:14:34,560 sunrise uh and to see our two satellites 757 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,389 sunrise uh and to see our two satellites out there trailing behind us to look at 758 00:14:36,389 --> 00:14:36,399 out there trailing behind us to look at 759 00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:38,949 out there trailing behind us to look at the two bright stars that are out there 760 00:14:38,949 --> 00:14:38,959 the two bright stars that are out there 761 00:14:38,959 --> 00:14:40,949 the two bright stars that are out there um we've never flown a poor body problem 762 00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:40,959 um we've never flown a poor body problem 763 00:14:40,959 --> 00:14:42,629 um we've never flown a poor body problem we had an earth a spaceship two 764 00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:42,639 we had an earth a spaceship two 765 00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:44,870 we had an earth a spaceship two satellites before so to look out behind 766 00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:44,880 satellites before so to look out behind 767 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,269 satellites before so to look out behind you and see uh the two satellites that 768 00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:47,279 you and see uh the two satellites that 769 00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:49,110 you and see uh the two satellites that you're working to see them follow along 770 00:14:49,110 --> 00:14:49,120 you're working to see them follow along 771 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,310 you're working to see them follow along behind you is a unique experience 772 00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:52,320 behind you is a unique experience 773 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,790 behind you is a unique experience we recognize how fit you have to be to 774 00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:54,800 we recognize how fit you have to be to 775 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,590 we recognize how fit you have to be to participate in this program but a lot of 776 00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:57,600 participate in this program but a lot of 777 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,430 participate in this program but a lot of a lot has been made of the fact that you 778 00:14:59,430 --> 00:14:59,440 a lot has been made of the fact that you 779 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,389 a lot has been made of the fact that you are 61 years old do you feel any 780 00:15:02,389 --> 00:15:02,399 are 61 years old do you feel any 781 00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:04,310 are 61 years old do you feel any differently physically on this mission 782 00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:04,320 differently physically on this mission 783 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,910 differently physically on this mission than let's say you did on your first 784 00:15:05,910 --> 00:15:05,920 than let's say you did on your first 785 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:11,990 than let's say you did on your first mission 13 years ago in space 786 00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:12,000 787 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,150 um i think it's pretty much the same uh 788 00:15:14,150 --> 00:15:14,160 um i think it's pretty much the same uh 789 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,949 um i think it's pretty much the same uh as i as i told my colleagues here uh one 790 00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:16,959 as i as i told my colleagues here uh one 791 00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:18,949 as i as i told my colleagues here uh one of them tom jones was working over here 792 00:15:18,949 --> 00:15:18,959 of them tom jones was working over here 793 00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:20,470 of them tom jones was working over here that you spoke with on an earlier 794 00:15:20,470 --> 00:15:20,480 that you spoke with on an earlier 795 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,550 that you spoke with on an earlier mission uh he was sitting next to me i 796 00:15:22,550 --> 00:15:22,560 mission uh he was sitting next to me i 797 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,870 mission uh he was sitting next to me i had the easiest launch i've ever had 798 00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:24,880 had the easiest launch i've ever had 799 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,710 had the easiest launch i've ever had i am uh usually pretty frightened during 800 00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:26,720 i am uh usually pretty frightened during 801 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,030 i am uh usually pretty frightened during launches because i'm not a risk taker 802 00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:29,040 launches because i'm not a risk taker 803 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,949 launches because i'm not a risk taker and i was frightened before this one but 804 00:15:30,949 --> 00:15:30,959 and i was frightened before this one but 805 00:15:30,959 --> 00:15:33,670 and i was frightened before this one but once we got underway uh i had total 806 00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:33,680 once we got underway uh i had total 807 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,430 once we got underway uh i had total faith and confidence that it was going 808 00:15:35,430 --> 00:15:35,440 faith and confidence that it was going 809 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,509 faith and confidence that it was going to take me into space i had the easiest 810 00:15:37,509 --> 00:15:37,519 to take me into space i had the easiest 811 00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:39,670 to take me into space i had the easiest launch i've ever had this time 812 00:15:39,670 --> 00:15:39,680 launch i've ever had this time 813 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,509 launch i've ever had this time does that mean you completely got rid of 814 00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:41,519 does that mean you completely got rid of 815 00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:46,870 does that mean you completely got rid of your butterflies as as you lift it off 816 00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:46,880 817 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,389 well i don't get butterflies i just get 818 00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:48,399 well i don't get butterflies i just get 819 00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:51,110 well i don't get butterflies i just get scared 820 00:15:51,110 --> 00:15:51,120 821 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,550 i don't blame you 822 00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:52,560 i don't blame you 823 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,470 i don't blame you i understand that that one of your 824 00:15:54,470 --> 00:15:54,480 i understand that that one of your 825 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,350 i understand that that one of your favorite things is is to enjoy the the 826 00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:57,360 favorite things is is to enjoy the the 827 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,590 favorite things is is to enjoy the the weightlessness that that you feel in 828 00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:59,600 weightlessness that that you feel in 829 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,910 weightlessness that that you feel in space i'm wondering if if you can give 830 00:16:01,910 --> 00:16:01,920 space i'm wondering if if you can give 831 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,509 space i'm wondering if if you can give us any sense of 832 00:16:03,509 --> 00:16:03,519 us any sense of 833 00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:05,430 us any sense of what that might feel like or or look 834 00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:05,440 what that might feel like or or look 835 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,710 what that might feel like or or look like from this perspective 836 00:16:10,710 --> 00:16:10,720 837 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,710 yeah floating is a delicious kind of 838 00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:12,720 yeah floating is a delicious kind of 839 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,350 yeah floating is a delicious kind of thing to do because we as creatures are 840 00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:15,360 thing to do because we as creatures are 841 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,590 thing to do because we as creatures are created and evolved here on earth we 842 00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:17,600 created and evolved here on earth we 843 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,150 created and evolved here on earth we have been designed by the force between 844 00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:20,160 have been designed by the force between 845 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,310 have been designed by the force between us and earth and now you have a unique 846 00:16:22,310 --> 00:16:22,320 us and earth and now you have a unique 847 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,430 us and earth and now you have a unique environment 848 00:16:23,430 --> 00:16:23,440 environment 849 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,269 environment that maybe we weren't designed to 850 00:16:25,269 --> 00:16:25,279 that maybe we weren't designed to 851 00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:27,590 that maybe we weren't designed to perceive or to live in 852 00:16:27,590 --> 00:16:27,600 perceive or to live in 853 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,189 perceive or to live in and so that's what makes it totally 854 00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:29,199 and so that's what makes it totally 855 00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:31,110 and so that's what makes it totally unique but the the three-dimensional 856 00:16:31,110 --> 00:16:31,120 unique but the the three-dimensional 857 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,670 unique but the the three-dimensional orientation in which you can make that 858 00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:33,680 orientation in which you can make that 859 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:34,790 orientation in which you can make that direction 860 00:16:34,790 --> 00:16:34,800 direction 861 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,430 direction uh the down direction you can feel that 862 00:16:37,430 --> 00:16:37,440 uh the down direction you can feel that 863 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,749 uh the down direction you can feel that this is down and feel that that is the 864 00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:39,759 this is down and feel that that is the 865 00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:42,230 this is down and feel that that is the ceiling and put that anywhere you would 866 00:16:42,230 --> 00:16:42,240 ceiling and put that anywhere you would 867 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,230 ceiling and put that anywhere you would like eventually 868 00:16:44,230 --> 00:16:44,240 like eventually 869 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,110 like eventually the idea of uh just as the engines are 870 00:16:47,110 --> 00:16:47,120 the idea of uh just as the engines are 871 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,790 the idea of uh just as the engines are shutting down 872 00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:48,800 shutting down 873 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,189 shutting down you can close your eyes just before the 874 00:16:51,189 --> 00:16:51,199 you can close your eyes just before the 875 00:16:51,199 --> 00:16:53,030 you can close your eyes just before the main engine shut down and then you can 876 00:16:53,030 --> 00:16:53,040 main engine shut down and then you can 877 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,949 main engine shut down and then you can free fall through the dark and i don't 878 00:16:54,949 --> 00:16:54,959 free fall through the dark and i don't 879 00:16:54,959 --> 00:16:57,030 free fall through the dark and i don't know if you've ever free fall through 880 00:16:57,030 --> 00:16:57,040 know if you've ever free fall through 881 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,069 know if you've ever free fall through the dark 882 00:16:58,069 --> 00:16:58,079 the dark 883 00:16:58,079 --> 00:17:00,470 the dark but that is one delicious experience to 884 00:17:00,470 --> 00:17:00,480 but that is one delicious experience to 885 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,949 but that is one delicious experience to be able to simply fall through a dark 886 00:17:02,949 --> 00:17:02,959 be able to simply fall through a dark 887 00:17:02,959 --> 00:17:04,870 be able to simply fall through a dark environment forever 888 00:17:04,870 --> 00:17:04,880 environment forever 889 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,270 environment forever i think i've done that in my dreams uh 890 00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:07,280 i think i've done that in my dreams uh 891 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,909 i think i've done that in my dreams uh can you give us a a demonstration 892 00:17:09,909 --> 00:17:09,919 can you give us a a demonstration 893 00:17:09,919 --> 00:17:12,870 can you give us a a demonstration uh right now of of what weightlessness 894 00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:12,880 uh right now of of what weightlessness 895 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,470 uh right now of of what weightlessness looks like 896 00:17:16,470 --> 00:17:16,480 897 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,549 oh i don't have much you want but 898 00:17:18,549 --> 00:17:18,559 oh i don't have much you want but 899 00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:21,909 oh i don't have much you want but there's a real art in how you uh 900 00:17:21,909 --> 00:17:21,919 there's a real art in how you uh 901 00:17:21,919 --> 00:17:29,590 there's a real art in how you uh in how you drop things perfectly 902 00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:29,600 903 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,029 once you put the model out to tom 904 00:17:33,029 --> 00:17:33,039 once you put the model out to tom 905 00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:34,950 once you put the model out to tom this is the best example i got you've 906 00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:34,960 this is the best example i got you've 907 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,029 this is the best example i got you've seen us spin things around and you've 908 00:17:37,029 --> 00:17:37,039 seen us spin things around and you've 909 00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:39,510 seen us spin things around and you've seen us throw things but i think there's 910 00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:39,520 seen us throw things but i think there's 911 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,110 seen us throw things but i think there's still this kind of drop 912 00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:43,120 913 00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:53,190 you do a good job tom 914 00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:53,200 915 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,270 yeah that's uh that says as much as 916 00:17:55,270 --> 00:17:55,280 yeah that's uh that says as much as 917 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,430 yeah that's uh that says as much as anything right there you've seen us play 918 00:17:57,430 --> 00:17:57,440 anything right there you've seen us play 919 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,470 anything right there you've seen us play with uh 920 00:17:58,470 --> 00:17:58,480 with uh 921 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,190 with uh water that's another good way to do it 922 00:18:01,190 --> 00:18:01,200 water that's another good way to do it 923 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,630 water that's another good way to do it these things are moving now because 924 00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:02,640 these things are moving now because 925 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,789 these things are moving now because there's an airflow 926 00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:04,799 there's an airflow 927 00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:06,950 there's an airflow oh it looks extraordinary from here uh 928 00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:06,960 oh it looks extraordinary from here uh 929 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,710 oh it looks extraordinary from here uh have any of the scientists at nasa been 930 00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:08,720 have any of the scientists at nasa been 931 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,150 have any of the scientists at nasa been able to figure out 932 00:18:10,150 --> 00:18:10,160 able to figure out 933 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,070 able to figure out what impact all this weightlessness 934 00:18:12,070 --> 00:18:12,080 what impact all this weightlessness 935 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,310 what impact all this weightlessness you've experienced has had on your own 936 00:18:14,310 --> 00:18:14,320 you've experienced has had on your own 937 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,789 you've experienced has had on your own body 938 00:18:18,789 --> 00:18:18,799 939 00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:20,870 we're working on that all the time but 940 00:18:20,870 --> 00:18:20,880 we're working on that all the time but 941 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,870 we're working on that all the time but it's basically uh the free flow 942 00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:22,880 it's basically uh the free flow 943 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,950 it's basically uh the free flow condition in which your cardiovascular 944 00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:24,960 condition in which your cardiovascular 945 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,190 condition in which your cardiovascular system the air is picking up the bottom 946 00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:27,200 system the air is picking up the bottom 947 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,630 system the air is picking up the bottom of the shuttle there 948 00:18:28,630 --> 00:18:28,640 of the shuttle there 949 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,029 of the shuttle there things such as not having to use bones 950 00:18:31,029 --> 00:18:31,039 things such as not having to use bones 951 00:18:31,039 --> 00:18:33,110 things such as not having to use bones up here the cardiovascular system not 952 00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:33,120 up here the cardiovascular system not 953 00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:35,110 up here the cardiovascular system not having to move blood uphill and those 954 00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:35,120 having to move blood uphill and those 955 00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:39,430 having to move blood uphill and those kinds of things 956 00:18:39,430 --> 00:18:39,440 957 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,190 what maybe we could study more is the 958 00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:41,200 what maybe we could study more is the 959 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,830 what maybe we could study more is the cognitive psychology of space 960 00:18:43,830 --> 00:18:43,840 cognitive psychology of space 961 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,070 cognitive psychology of space different kinds of perceptions 962 00:18:46,070 --> 00:18:46,080 different kinds of perceptions 963 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,630 different kinds of perceptions of what's up and what's down i think 964 00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:48,640 of what's up and what's down i think 965 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,310 of what's up and what's down i think that's where some of the exciting areas 966 00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:50,320 that's where some of the exciting areas 967 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,230 that's where some of the exciting areas that we haven't explored too much 968 00:18:54,230 --> 00:18:54,240 969 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,750 that date will be really exciting 970 00:18:57,750 --> 00:18:57,760 that date will be really exciting 971 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,350 that date will be really exciting one of the things that you have been 972 00:18:59,350 --> 00:18:59,360 one of the things that you have been 973 00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:01,590 one of the things that you have been quoted in the past about is being 974 00:19:01,590 --> 00:19:01,600 quoted in the past about is being 975 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,110 quoted in the past about is being receptive to extraterrestrial life 976 00:19:05,110 --> 00:19:05,120 receptive to extraterrestrial life 977 00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:07,350 receptive to extraterrestrial life do you have any indication that exists 978 00:19:07,350 --> 00:19:07,360 do you have any indication that exists 979 00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:10,070 do you have any indication that exists or is that just an extension of your 980 00:19:10,070 --> 00:19:10,080 or is that just an extension of your 981 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,710 or is that just an extension of your imagination 982 00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:14,720 983 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,470 i have no physical evidence i've never 984 00:19:16,470 --> 00:19:16,480 i have no physical evidence i've never 985 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,430 i have no physical evidence i've never made any i've never seen a signature of 986 00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:19,440 made any i've never seen a signature of 987 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,669 made any i've never seen a signature of of intelligent beings out here 988 00:19:21,669 --> 00:19:21,679 of intelligent beings out here 989 00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:24,150 of intelligent beings out here i think it's a common sense rational 990 00:19:24,150 --> 00:19:24,160 i think it's a common sense rational 991 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,630 i think it's a common sense rational individual as a scientist i know it's 992 00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:26,640 individual as a scientist i know it's 993 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,990 individual as a scientist i know it's out there because you're dealing with 994 00:19:27,990 --> 00:19:28,000 out there because you're dealing with 995 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,070 out there because you're dealing with billions and billions of galaxies 996 00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:30,080 billions and billions of galaxies 997 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,750 billions and billions of galaxies i know there are other universes other 998 00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:31,760 i know there are other universes other 999 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,590 i know there are other universes other than our own and a lot of this has been 1000 00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:33,600 than our own and a lot of this has been 1001 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,669 than our own and a lot of this has been around for billions of years the 1002 00:19:35,669 --> 00:19:35,679 around for billions of years the 1003 00:19:35,679 --> 00:19:38,950 around for billions of years the probability is a certainty that it's out 1004 00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:38,960 probability is a certainty that it's out 1005 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,070 probability is a certainty that it's out there 1006 00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:40,080 there 1007 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,950 there and myself in terms of 1008 00:19:44,950 --> 00:19:44,960 1009 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,669 a human being who is 1010 00:19:47,669 --> 00:19:47,679 a human being who is 1011 00:19:47,679 --> 00:19:49,270 a human being who is part of the human species which is 1012 00:19:49,270 --> 00:19:49,280 part of the human species which is 1013 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,750 part of the human species which is evolving to recognition of their place 1014 00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:51,760 evolving to recognition of their place 1015 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,590 evolving to recognition of their place in the universe and what the universe is 1016 00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:53,600 in the universe and what the universe is 1017 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,029 in the universe and what the universe is all about 1018 00:19:55,029 --> 00:19:55,039 all about 1019 00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:56,230 all about um 1020 00:19:56,230 --> 00:19:56,240 um 1021 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,549 um i try to acknowledge those living 1022 00:19:58,549 --> 00:19:58,559 i try to acknowledge those living 1023 00:19:58,559 --> 00:20:00,470 i try to acknowledge those living creatures out there and just simply take 1024 00:20:00,470 --> 00:20:00,480 creatures out there and just simply take 1025 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,950 creatures out there and just simply take quiet moments and say yes yes i know 1026 00:20:02,950 --> 00:20:02,960 quiet moments and say yes yes i know 1027 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,350 quiet moments and say yes yes i know you're out there and i also communicate 1028 00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:05,360 you're out there and i also communicate 1029 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:08,230 you're out there and i also communicate in ways such similar to prayer that uh 1030 00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:08,240 in ways such similar to prayer that uh 1031 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,110 in ways such similar to prayer that uh if you hear me come get me 1032 00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:11,120 if you hear me come get me 1033 00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:12,470 if you hear me come get me but i have no 1034 00:20:12,470 --> 00:20:12,480 but i have no 1035 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,310 but i have no physical evidence i have seen no 1036 00:20:14,310 --> 00:20:14,320 physical evidence i have seen no 1037 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,470 physical evidence i have seen no signatures i'm also as grounded as 1038 00:20:16,470 --> 00:20:16,480 signatures i'm also as grounded as 1039 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,390 signatures i'm also as grounded as anyone around i know that the 1040 00:20:18,390 --> 00:20:18,400 anyone around i know that the 1041 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,230 anyone around i know that the probabilities are one trillionth 1042 00:20:20,230 --> 00:20:20,240 probabilities are one trillionth 1043 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,549 probabilities are one trillionth trillionth or less that anyone is going 1044 00:20:22,549 --> 00:20:22,559 trillionth or less that anyone is going 1045 00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:24,789 trillionth or less that anyone is going to hear but i think it's important in 1046 00:20:24,789 --> 00:20:24,799 to hear but i think it's important in 1047 00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:26,950 to hear but i think it's important in terms of our evolution the way we think 1048 00:20:26,950 --> 00:20:26,960 terms of our evolution the way we think 1049 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,270 terms of our evolution the way we think of ourselves to recognize 1050 00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:29,280 of ourselves to recognize 1051 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,990 of ourselves to recognize uh that we are not alone 1052 00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:32,000 uh that we are not alone 1053 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,990 uh that we are not alone we also recognize even though you will 1054 00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:34,000 we also recognize even though you will 1055 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,590 we also recognize even though you will not fly in any more of these missions 1056 00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:35,600 not fly in any more of these missions 1057 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,270 not fly in any more of these missions you will continue to be involved with 1058 00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:37,280 you will continue to be involved with 1059 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,149 you will continue to be involved with nasa on an ongoing basis what is it that 1060 00:20:40,149 --> 00:20:40,159 nasa on an ongoing basis what is it that 1061 00:20:40,159 --> 00:20:41,750 nasa on an ongoing basis what is it that you think americans should understand 1062 00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:41,760 you think americans should understand 1063 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,510 you think americans should understand about the future of the space program 1064 00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:43,520 about the future of the space program 1065 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,430 about the future of the space program particularly at a time when a lot of 1066 00:20:45,430 --> 00:20:45,440 particularly at a time when a lot of 1067 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,190 particularly at a time when a lot of americans seem to have doubts as to 1068 00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:47,200 americans seem to have doubts as to 1069 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,350 americans seem to have doubts as to where this really is taking us 1070 00:20:49,350 --> 00:20:49,360 where this really is taking us 1071 00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:51,750 where this really is taking us particularly when they look at the vast 1072 00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:51,760 particularly when they look at the vast 1073 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:58,710 particularly when they look at the vast amount of money that are spent on it 1074 00:20:58,710 --> 00:20:58,720 1075 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,950 i think we need to have a very far 1076 00:21:00,950 --> 00:21:00,960 i think we need to have a very far 1077 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,870 i think we need to have a very far reaching vision 1078 00:21:02,870 --> 00:21:02,880 reaching vision 1079 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,110 reaching vision i think we need to conduct space where 1080 00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:05,120 i think we need to conduct space where 1081 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:07,110 i think we need to conduct space where space is safe and not for any other 1082 00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:07,120 space is safe and not for any other 1083 00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:09,510 space is safe and not for any other reasons when it's used for other reasons 1084 00:21:09,510 --> 00:21:09,520 reasons when it's used for other reasons 1085 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,190 reasons when it's used for other reasons under the pursuit of space i think then 1086 00:21:11,190 --> 00:21:11,200 under the pursuit of space i think then 1087 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,350 under the pursuit of space i think then we get off the track 1088 00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:13,360 we get off the track 1089 00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:15,350 we get off the track for myself 1090 00:21:15,350 --> 00:21:15,360 for myself 1091 00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:16,789 for myself i'm always working kind of at the 1092 00:21:16,789 --> 00:21:16,799 i'm always working kind of at the 1093 00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:19,190 i'm always working kind of at the philosophical level i'm interested in 1094 00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:19,200 philosophical level i'm interested in 1095 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,390 philosophical level i'm interested in the great big very long term pictures i 1096 00:21:22,390 --> 00:21:22,400 the great big very long term pictures i 1097 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,710 the great big very long term pictures i think space is very important for us as 1098 00:21:24,710 --> 00:21:24,720 think space is very important for us as 1099 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,710 think space is very important for us as human beings to show us what our place 1100 00:21:26,710 --> 00:21:26,720 human beings to show us what our place 1101 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,830 human beings to show us what our place in the universe is what it means to be 1102 00:21:28,830 --> 00:21:28,840 in the universe is what it means to be 1103 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,270 in the universe is what it means to be human i think that is one of the most 1104 00:21:31,270 --> 00:21:31,280 human i think that is one of the most 1105 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,190 human i think that is one of the most important reasons that we're into space 1106 00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:33,200 important reasons that we're into space 1107 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,750 important reasons that we're into space is the quest the reach out there for 1108 00:21:35,750 --> 00:21:35,760 is the quest the reach out there for 1109 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,990 is the quest the reach out there for meaning down here 1110 00:21:37,990 --> 00:21:38,000 meaning down here 1111 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,070 meaning down here so i think we need to not only do the 1112 00:21:40,070 --> 00:21:40,080 so i think we need to not only do the 1113 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,830 so i think we need to not only do the practical things but i think we need to 1114 00:21:41,830 --> 00:21:41,840 practical things but i think we need to 1115 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,549 practical things but i think we need to have a very very far-reaching vision a 1116 00:21:44,549 --> 00:21:44,559 have a very very far-reaching vision a 1117 00:21:44,559 --> 00:21:46,230 have a very very far-reaching vision a unified vision and have that 1118 00:21:46,230 --> 00:21:46,240 unified vision and have that 1119 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,470 unified vision and have that communicated and have a very solid path 1120 00:21:48,470 --> 00:21:48,480 communicated and have a very solid path 1121 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,750 communicated and have a very solid path to pursue 1122 00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:51,760 1123 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,310 in closing tonight what is it that you 1124 00:21:54,310 --> 00:21:54,320 in closing tonight what is it that you 1125 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,630 in closing tonight what is it that you think you will reflect upon most when 1126 00:21:56,630 --> 00:21:56,640 think you will reflect upon most when 1127 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,470 think you will reflect upon most when you come back to earth 1128 00:21:58,470 --> 00:21:58,480 you come back to earth 1129 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,710 you come back to earth at the end of this mission knowing that 1130 00:22:00,710 --> 00:22:00,720 at the end of this mission knowing that 1131 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,110 at the end of this mission knowing that that this was your final mission in 1132 00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:03,120 that this was your final mission in 1133 00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:04,549 that this was your final mission in flight and that you are in fact the 1134 00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:04,559 flight and that you are in fact the 1135 00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:06,630 flight and that you are in fact the oldest astronaut to attempt what you 1136 00:22:06,630 --> 00:22:06,640 oldest astronaut to attempt what you 1137 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,830 oldest astronaut to attempt what you have just 1138 00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:10,840 1139 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,750 done i'm very glad to be in space and be 1140 00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:13,760 done i'm very glad to be in space and be 1141 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,310 done i'm very glad to be in space and be doing the other things that i am 1142 00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:16,320 doing the other things that i am 1143 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,990 doing the other things that i am at the age that i am 1144 00:22:17,990 --> 00:22:18,000 at the age that i am 1145 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,390 at the age that i am but the the age is only coincident with 1146 00:22:20,390 --> 00:22:20,400 but the the age is only coincident with 1147 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,230 but the the age is only coincident with the fact that i have had the incredible 1148 00:22:22,230 --> 00:22:22,240 the fact that i have had the incredible 1149 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,070 the fact that i have had the incredible privilege of pursuing my calling for

decreases the size of your bones and your heart do 1220 00:25:08,390 --> 00:25:08,400 the size of your bones and your heart do 1221 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:09,830 the size of your bones and your heart do you feel any different when you come 1222 00:25:09,830 --> 00:25:09,840 you feel any different when you come 1223 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,470 you feel any different when you come back to earth 1224 00:25:12,470 --> 00:25:12,480 back to earth 1225 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,390 back to earth we certainly do 1226 00:25:14,390 --> 00:25:14,400 we certainly do 1227 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,549 we certainly do uh out here floating around in zero g we 1228 00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:16,559 uh out here floating around in zero g we 1229 00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:19,269 uh out here floating around in zero g we don't need the bones that carry our 1230 00:25:19,269 --> 00:25:19,279 don't need the bones that carry our 1231 00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:20,230 don't need the bones that carry our weight 1232 00:25:20,230 --> 00:25:20,240 weight 1233 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,950 weight they carry that force between us and uh 1234 00:25:22,950 --> 00:25:22,960 they carry that force between us and uh 1235 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,950 they carry that force between us and uh and the earth they carry our weight down 1236 00:25:24,950 --> 00:25:24,960 and the earth they carry our weight down 1237 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,950 and the earth they carry our weight down there because we don't need the bones 1238 00:25:26,950 --> 00:25:26,960 there because we don't need the bones 1239 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,710 there because we don't need the bones it's just like a muscle if you don't use 1240 00:25:28,710 --> 00:25:28,720 it's just like a muscle if you don't use 1241 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,470 it's just like a muscle if you don't use your muscle the muscles tend to get 1242 00:25:30,470 --> 00:25:30,480 your muscle the muscles tend to get 1243 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,310 your muscle the muscles tend to get smaller and weaker and so now using your 1244 00:25:32,310 --> 00:25:32,320 smaller and weaker and so now using your 1245 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:33,269 smaller and weaker and so now using your bones 1246 00:25:33,269 --> 00:25:33,279 bones 1247 00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:34,310 bones out here 1248 00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:34,320 out here 1249 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,390 out here they tend to become smaller and a little 1250 00:25:36,390 --> 00:25:36,400 they tend to become smaller and a little 1251 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,590 they tend to become smaller and a little less 1252 00:25:37,590 --> 00:25:37,600 less 1253 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,149 less strong like bites with a heart the heart 1254 00:25:40,149 --> 00:25:40,159 strong like bites with a heart the heart 1255 00:25:40,159 --> 00:25:42,549 strong like bites with a heart the heart doesn't have to pump blood uphill 1256 00:25:42,549 --> 00:25:42,559 doesn't have to pump blood uphill 1257 00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:44,630 doesn't have to pump blood uphill against gravity and you don't need to 1258 00:25:44,630 --> 00:25:44,640 against gravity and you don't need to 1259 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,390 against gravity and you don't need to carry as much blood by them so those 1260 00:25:46,390 --> 00:25:46,400 carry as much blood by them so those 1261 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,870 carry as much blood by them so those things diminish in size too when you 1262 00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:48,880 things diminish in size too when you 1263 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,390 things diminish in size too when you come back to earth just like when you 1264 00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:50,400 come back to earth just like when you 1265 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,310 come back to earth just like when you come into space you have to adapt to the 1266 00:25:52,310 --> 00:25:52,320 come into space you have to adapt to the 1267 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,990 come into space you have to adapt to the space environment when you come back to 1268 00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:54,000 space environment when you come back to 1269 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:54,870 space environment when you come back to earth 1270 00:25:54,870 --> 00:25:54,880 earth 1271 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,190 earth you've gotten very used to space 1272 00:25:57,190 --> 00:25:57,200 you've gotten very used to space 1273 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,110 you've gotten very used to space balls muscles and hearts have started to 1274 00:25:59,110 --> 00:25:59,120 balls muscles and hearts have started to 1275 00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:00,710 balls muscles and hearts have started to adapt to space and so they have to 1276 00:26:00,710 --> 00:26:00,720 adapt to space and so they have to 1277 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:01,830 adapt to space and so they have to re-adapt 1278 00:26:01,830 --> 00:26:01,840 re-adapt 1279 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,070 re-adapt to earth 1280 00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:06,080 1281 00:26:06,080 -->
