1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:01:18,180 I 2 00:01:23,290 --> 00:01:20,469 Columbia Houston your wake up this 3 00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:23,300 morning was provided by the 1980 US Air 4 00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:25,970 Force Academy drum and bugle corps good 5 00:01:35,380 --> 00:01:33,020 morning alright good morning k and just 6 00:01:38,020 --> 00:01:35,390 let everyone know we have to fund rebuke 7 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:38,030 or members up here and three former 8 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:41,290 caddy grads up here and it was really 9 00:01:55,630 --> 00:01:53,139 so we copy that this is Mission Control 10 00:01:58,630 --> 00:01:55,640 Houston wake up music for the crew of 11 00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:58,640 Columbia this morning was provided by 12 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:01,759 the 1980s Force Academy drum and bugle 13 00:02:10,090 --> 00:02:07,610 corps featuring cadet Susan Helms on 14 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:10,100 xylophone playing flight of the 15 00:02:15,970 --> 00:02:13,970 bumblebee actually three days into what 16 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:15,980 NASA hopes will be a record-setting 17 00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:19,130 mission 17 days is the goal right now 18 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:22,640 and joining us from space traveling 19 00:02:27,220 --> 00:02:25,370 along at about 28,000 kilometers per 20 00:02:29,530 --> 00:02:27,230 hour about two hundred and sixty six 21 00:02:32,530 --> 00:02:29,540 kilometers above the earth and I believe 22 00:02:34,539 --> 00:02:32,540 somewhere over Africa are five members 23 00:02:37,180 --> 00:02:34,549 of Columbia's crew let's begin with 24 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:37,190 commander Tom Henrik's commander first 25 00:02:41,140 --> 00:02:39,890 of all the goal is seventeen days you on 26 00:02:43,090 --> 00:02:41,150 track right now as I understand it 27 00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:43,100 you're conserving power in an effort to 28 00:02:49,539 --> 00:02:47,209 stay up there and set that record so 29 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:49,549 that's probably true we plan to conserve 30 00:02:55,150 --> 00:02:52,010 power in any event with what we call a a 31 00:02:57,310 --> 00:02:55,160 groupie fall down which is extended stay 32 00:02:58,660 --> 00:02:57,320 on all this power down and midway 33 00:03:00,430 --> 00:02:58,670 through the movement we hope that our 34 00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:00,440 management will give us the go for that 35 00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:04,910 70 a record 17 days I guess we had to 36 00:03:08,830 --> 00:03:06,470 put that in perspective a little bit 37 00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:08,840 because on the Russian space station Mir 38 00:03:12,970 --> 00:03:10,910 we heard last week that the crew which 39 00:03:15,490 --> 00:03:12,980 has been up there for some months will 40 00:03:17,349 --> 00:03:15,500 be delayed by 40 days so the delay for 41 00:03:19,990 --> 00:03:17,359 the Russians exceeds our record by about 42 00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:20,000 three times give me a sense of how you 43 00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:21,650 and the other crew members might feel 44 00:03:34,980 --> 00:03:23,510 about spending as long as 40 days or 45 00:03:40,210 --> 00:03:37,540 hi my name is Sarah rikler head on the 46 00:03:41,650 --> 00:03:40,220 end this one the flight and I actually 47 00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:41,660 look forward to spending more time in 48 00:03:45,550 --> 00:03:43,400 space after this if we get the 49 00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:45,560 International Space Station up will be 50 00:03:50,170 --> 00:03:47,870 staying up there for periods of two to 51 00:03:51,729 --> 00:03:50,180 three months at a time and this shuttle 52 00:03:54,250 --> 00:03:51,739 flight is play lead of things to come in 53 00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:54,260 that way we're trying to you all figure 54 00:03:59,620 --> 00:03:57,200 out how the human body reacts one 55 00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:59,630 relation space travel we get this data 56 00:04:01,930 --> 00:04:00,560 we're getting a lot of good life 57 00:04:05,050 --> 00:04:01,940 sciences data will be able to put that 58 00:04:06,790 --> 00:04:05,060 to our work grunts also guts and data 59 00:04:10,170 --> 00:04:06,800 will be building a station with that and 60 00:04:12,580 --> 00:04:10,180 combining our resources and talents 61 00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:12,590 despite all the data that does exist 62 00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:14,840 between NASA and the Russians about 63 00:04:18,250 --> 00:04:16,700 longevity and space there's still a lot 64 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:18,260 we need to know is that correct as I 65 00:04:21,970 --> 00:04:20,090 understand it there are all kinds of 66 00:04:23,710 --> 00:04:21,980 problems I guess you could call them 67 00:04:25,150 --> 00:04:23,720 problems which astronauts encounter 68 00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:25,160 whether they're in space among them bone 69 00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:27,710 loss muscle loss problems sleeping and 70 00:04:31,570 --> 00:04:29,360 not to mention the fact space adaptation 71 00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:31,580 sickness now as I understand it 72 00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:33,889 two-thirds of all astronauts have this 73 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:35,720 space adaptation sickness and I don't 74 00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:37,490 not going to ask anybody here if they 75 00:04:40,930 --> 00:04:39,290 ever have had it but if you could tell 76 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:40,940 me what the symptoms are how long it 77 00:04:51,790 --> 00:04:49,850 lasts and what can be done about it okay 78 00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:51,800 I'll be happy to take care what we have 79 00:04:56,290 --> 00:04:53,600 to do it's an excellent work up here 80 00:04:58,330 --> 00:04:56,300 looking for the answers of why and how 81 00:05:00,340 --> 00:04:58,340 those really things happen she a little 82 00:05:03,850 --> 00:05:00,350 bit of example solar systems people can 83 00:05:06,940 --> 00:05:03,860 experience normally the body explains as 84 00:05:08,950 --> 00:05:06,950 a major food shift immediately after the 85 00:05:10,990 --> 00:05:08,960 advent of complete and this food shift 86 00:05:14,159 --> 00:05:11,000 can bring on a lot of strange symptoms 87 00:05:18,430 --> 00:05:14,169 such as fullness of the head stuffy nose 88 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:18,440 stomach awareness and headaches and is 89 00:05:23,050 --> 00:05:20,690 it done is it goes on on people get used 90 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:23,060 to it and they adapted energy usually 91 00:05:27,940 --> 00:05:26,570 within hours and our case everybody 92 00:05:30,340 --> 00:05:27,950 hears you have two very very quickly 93 00:05:32,380 --> 00:05:30,350 we've had just helped standing flight 94 00:05:34,630 --> 00:05:32,390 from the standpoint of adaption so the 95 00:05:36,159 --> 00:05:34,640 scientists were hoping to capture a lot 96 00:05:37,930 --> 00:05:36,169 of date on down our career probably not 97 00:05:40,029 --> 00:05:37,940 going to get a whole lot our mission is 98 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:40,039 looking at not only SMS which is the 99 00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:41,930 state versus sickness adaption but we're 100 00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:44,510 also looking at other areas of the life 101 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:45,110 science 102 00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:47,570 rina to include both mom which is a very 103 00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:50,000 very important thing to look at when you 104 00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:51,590 took such a long duration space flights 105 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:53,510 because as long as ones that have been 106 00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:56,210 documented in the past it is we got a 107 00:06:02,250 --> 00:05:58,810 real social experiment here looking at 108 00:06:05,620 --> 00:06:02,260 bachelor brought skeletal function and 109 00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:05,630 still be done on earth at sport velocity 110 00:06:10,090 --> 00:06:07,310 dynamometer meeting we have in the 111 00:06:11,770 --> 00:06:10,100 background here and it went very well 112 00:06:13,810 --> 00:06:11,780 we're hoping to bring back lots of good 113 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:13,820 times for the right scientist back on 114 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:17,810 earth you all are sort of acting as 115 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:19,130 guinea pigs up there and we're gonna 116 00:06:22,030 --> 00:06:20,450 want to talk a little bit about some of 117 00:06:23,710 --> 00:06:22,040 the tests that are ongoing but let me 118 00:06:25,810 --> 00:06:23,720 introduce to you release of a syllabus 119 00:06:27,610 --> 00:06:25,820 itting here beside me here at CNN center 120 00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:27,620 she has a couple of questions for you go 121 00:06:33,820 --> 00:06:30,200 ahead Lisa I'm interested a once you're 122 00:06:35,230 --> 00:06:33,830 back on earth how do you adapt to the 123 00:06:37,390 --> 00:06:35,240 earth conditions again what do you 124 00:06:40,780 --> 00:06:37,400 experience you've had bone walls you 125 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:40,790 have muscle loss motion sickness how do 126 00:06:50,770 --> 00:06:42,410 you feel when you when you get off the 127 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:50,780 shuttle for you readapt it's one of the 128 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:52,970 things that happen is it you feel very 129 00:06:56,380 --> 00:06:54,530 heavy because we've been floating around 130 00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:56,390 here in our case will be two and a half 131 00:07:01,720 --> 00:06:59,360 weeks also your balance is a little bit 132 00:07:04,210 --> 00:07:01,730 off your inner here those long hair 133 00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:04,220 follicles tell you where gravity is but 134 00:07:08,130 --> 00:07:06,080 we haven't been used them all up your 135 00:07:11,950 --> 00:07:08,140 space and so they're out of calibration 136 00:07:15,450 --> 00:07:11,960 so you tend to stagger a bit and you've 137 00:07:19,660 --> 00:07:15,460 never passed any up we spend DWI test 138 00:07:22,420 --> 00:07:19,670 bed Yuri adapt to gravity very quickly 139 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:22,430 and in my case after just one day and go 140 00:07:27,670 --> 00:07:26,090 back from the news well must confess 141 00:07:29,020 --> 00:07:27,680 looking at it all behind you it looks a 142 00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:29,030 little bit like a health club an 143 00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:31,520 orbiting health club tell me what's it 144 00:07:42,860 --> 00:07:34,160 like exercising in space I guess there's 145 00:07:47,309 --> 00:07:45,540 well believe it oh it's pretty similar 146 00:07:50,189 --> 00:07:47,319 to what you would do back on earth 147 00:07:51,450 --> 00:07:50,199 except you just don't have to still have 148 00:07:53,909 --> 00:07:51,460 the gravity that'll hold you down to 149 00:07:56,969 --> 00:07:53,919 think so because of that we have to use 150 00:07:59,129 --> 00:07:56,979 special seats dropping Tippett harnesses 151 00:08:00,839 --> 00:07:59,139 that'll keep it so on spot while we 152 00:08:04,170 --> 00:08:00,849 exercise you can see if we let go we 153 00:08:05,730 --> 00:08:04,180 just photo and that can't happen so 154 00:08:08,159 --> 00:08:05,740 right now it back a bit shocked you 155 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:08,169 Sonny odometer it's probably a little 156 00:08:12,989 --> 00:08:10,330 tough to see but he's coming off now you 157 00:08:16,290 --> 00:08:12,999 just strapped down to a special seat and 158 00:08:20,089 --> 00:08:16,300 with using special panels raising pedals 159 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:20,099 actually keep in the contraption and 160 00:08:24,689 --> 00:08:23,050 exercise and get up to you are just 161 00:08:26,249 --> 00:08:24,699 about the same workers you with down on 162 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:26,259 the tracks are more comfortable because 163 00:08:31,890 --> 00:08:28,810 you kind of float relax while you're 164 00:08:34,079 --> 00:08:31,900 exercising now everyone knows why they 165 00:08:36,899 --> 00:08:34,089 invented velcro I guess tell me a dr. 166 00:08:38,370 --> 00:08:36,909 Linehan we've been talking about the the 167 00:08:40,050 --> 00:08:38,380 life science aspect as it relates to 168 00:08:42,149 --> 00:08:40,060 humans they got a lot of critters on 169 00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:42,159 board which are taking care of house all 170 00:08:49,650 --> 00:08:43,690 that doing give us kind of a broad brush 171 00:08:54,060 --> 00:08:49,660 and what you have going on there well 172 00:08:56,460 --> 00:08:54,070 we're flying off a road that fish 173 00:09:00,900 --> 00:08:56,470 embryos actually applying some white lab 174 00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:00,910 rats and fish embryos study a biological 175 00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:03,040 development and what we're really 176 00:09:06,930 --> 00:09:04,690 looking out there is that they're 177 00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:06,940 spending their time up the pace I saw 178 00:09:09,810 --> 00:09:08,320 and though we're going to look at the 179 00:09:11,460 --> 00:09:09,820 developmental changes that might occur 180 00:09:13,650 --> 00:09:11,470 the fish up yours due to a lack of 181 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:13,660 gravity or should I say microgravity not 182 00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:16,810 a lack of gravity and also look at the 183 00:09:22,199 --> 00:09:18,880 changes physiological changes that might 184 00:09:25,199 --> 00:09:22,209 occur in the rats that we have and 185 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:25,209 compare them to the physiology of humans 186 00:09:30,259 --> 00:09:28,810 we get back but a lot that way putting 187 00:09:32,939 --> 00:09:30,269 them on the treadmill let's talk to the 188 00:09:34,650 -->
