job and uh

19
00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:32,949
this is mission control houston you're

20
00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:35,599
looking at a view inside the space

21
00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:38,160
shuttle atlantis payload bay

22
00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:39,599
atlantis is

23
00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:41,440
in a daytime orbit but it's crossing

24
00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:44,400
over into a nighttime orbit very soon

25
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:46,720
uh it is out over the northern pacific

26
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:48,560
ocean on an orbit that's uh going to

27
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:50,400
take it just to the very west of

28
00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:52,720
california and mexico

29
00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:53,840
and then

30
00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:57,440
down over the very tip of south america

31
00:03:01,670 --> 00:03:00,080
the space shuttle is 220 miles above the

32
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:01,680
earth at this time

33
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:04,319
and the crew members on board atlantis

34
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:06,560
the six-member crew are awake they were

35
00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:09,599
awakened this morning at 12 20 a.m

36
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:15,350
this is mission control houston you're

37
00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:17,760
looking at the japanese kibo module

38
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:19,360
along with the

39
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:22,080
spatial robotic arm

40
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:24,720
today that robotic arm will be used to

41
00:03:29,589 --> 00:03:26,959
move that carrier

42
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:29,599
cargo carrier back into the

43
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:38,070
the integrated cargo carrier has now

44
00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:40,480
been released from the payload

45
00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:43,519
oru accommodation which is basically a

46
00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:46,080
docking port on the station's mobile

47
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:47,680
base system

48
00:03:52,789 --> 00:03:50,640
the integrated cargo carrier

49
00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:52,799
uniquely designed to carry orbital

50
00:03:57,670 --> 00:03:55,280
replacement units to the international

51
00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:57,680
space station it can be

52
00:04:02,149 --> 00:03:59,599
removed from the shuttle's payload bay

53
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:02,159
and temporarily stowed

54
00:04:07,589 --> 00:04:04,720
on the state outside the station it can

55
00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:07,599
also remain on the robotic arm and

56
00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:10,480
moved to various work sites so that it

57
00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:13,040
provides easy access for astronauts

58
00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:15,519
performing maintenance tasks on the

59
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:21,670

complex

142
00:16:54,150 --> 00:16:48,399
tracks just to the north northeast of uh

143
00:16:59,590 --> 00:16:56,629
i've been practicing that one

144
00:17:01,829 --> 00:16:59,600
atlantis iss this is houston acr please

145
00:17:08,710 --> 00:17:01,839

in richmond virginia

148
00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:15,439
i would like to know why do you wear the

149
00:17:30,390 --> 00:17:29,270
well the purple ones kind of clash with

150
00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:30,400
my eyes

151
00:17:34,549 --> 00:17:32,240
i think i look a lot better in orange

152
00:17:37,669 --> 00:17:34,559
actually the orange color

153
00:17:39,430 --> 00:17:37,679
is uh for uh make us more visible in

154
00:17:41,669 --> 00:17:39,440
case people need to find us

155
00:17:43,590 --> 00:17:41,679
and the reason we wear the suits is to

156
00:17:45,029 --> 00:17:43,600
protect us

157
00:17:46,710 --> 00:17:45,039
in the event that

158
00:17:49,029 --> 00:17:46,720
something happens that we're not

159
00:17:58,870 --> 00:17:49,039
expecting going either uphill or

160
00:18:03,270 --> 00:18:01,350
my name is chyna williams and i go to

south carolina i would like to know what

163
00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:08,480
are differences in living in the space

station from living in your home on

165
00:18:19,270 --> 00:18:17,190
that's a good question i can tell you

166
00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:19,280
for starters nothing stays where you put

167
00:18:22,390 --> 00:18:20,480
it

168
00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:22,400
everything floats

169
00:18:25,909 --> 00:18:23,760
including

170
00:18:27,669 --> 00:18:25,919
yourself your food your clothes

171

everything that you're working on so you

172
00:18:31,190 --> 00:18:29,280
have to strap everything down you can't

173
00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:31,200
lay it down on the table and you can't

174
00:18:38,870 --> 00:18:32,559

00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:40,400
window

192
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:42,480
and watch the earth go by it's just

193
00:19:45,430 --> 00:19:43,760
beautiful

194
00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:45,440
uh we don't get any free time so i have

195
00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:47,440
to steal it from the bus

196
00:19:50,549 --> 00:19:49,360
pretty much but uh the most i think

197
00:19:51,830 --> 00:19:50,559
everybody does that when they get a

198
00:19:53,669 --> 00:19:51,840
moment off they kind of look out the

199
00:19:55,510 --> 00:19:53,679
window and just see the whole world go

200
00:20:03,430 --> 00:19:55,520
by it's like a geography lesson it's

201
00:20:08,470 --> 00:20:05,430
hi my name is yvette i am a fourth

202
00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:08,480
grader in harlingen texas i am bilingual

203
00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:10,640
and i was wondering how many languages

204
00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:12,559
you need to speak to work on the

205
00:20:21,990 --> 00:20:20,470
i don't speak anything i think i think

206
00:20:22,870 --> 00:20:22,000
we all agree that's a pretty good

207
00:20:25,510 --> 00:20:22,880
question

208
00:20:27,430 --> 00:20:25,520
uh well the the official main language

209
00:20:29,190 --> 00:20:27,440
on the space station one that we all

210
00:20:30,310 --> 00:20:29,200
understand is english

211
00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:30,320
however

212
00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:32,000
it's very essential that you learn

213
00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:33,760
russian as well since

214
00:20:39,830 --> 00:20:37,120
we tend to operate uh in the soyuz or we

215
00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:39,840
do operate in the soyuz spacecraft

216
00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:41,760
solely in russian

217
00:20:46,070 --> 00:20:44,320
but we have a lot of talented very

218
00:20:50,070 --> 00:20:46,080
bright people on board and some of them

219
00:20:54,230 --> 00:20:50,080
know several languages such as japanese

220
00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:54,240
got suici on board and uh french german

221
00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:56,240
tj knows german so

222
00:20:59,990 --> 00:20:57,760
it's uh when you have an international

223
00:21:07,430 --> 00:21:00,000
space station it's almost endless uh the

224
00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:09,510
my name is paige and i go to laid to

225
00:21:14,630 --> 00:21:12,000
middle school and lived in kentucky my

226
00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:14,640
question is what does it feel like after

227
00:21:22,549 --> 00:21:17,120
being on the space station when you come

228
00:21:27,830 --> 00:21:24,710
i can answer that

229
00:21:32,470 --> 00:21:29,909
well uh when you come back to earth

230
00:21:35,430 --> 00:21:32,480
things feel really really heavy

231
00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:35,440
um i remember taking off my helmet and

232
00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:36,880
feeling like i was holding a pickup

233
00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:38,960
truck in my hand it felt so incredibly i

234
00:21:42,149 --> 00:21:40,320
was like oh my goodness how am i ever

235
00:21:44,710 --> 00:21:42,159
going to brush my teeth my toothbrush is

236
00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:44,720
going to feel like a ton of bricks but

237
00:21:49,190 --> 00:21:47,039
um turns out that you get really used to

238
00:21:51,669 --> 00:21:49,200
gravity again pretty quickly within like

239
00:21:53,830 --> 00:21:51,679
an hour or so and uh

240
00:21:56,230 --> 00:21:53,840
you uh after it takes a little while for

241
00:21:57,669 --> 00:21:56,240
you to get all your senses back uh and

242
00:22:00,149 --> 00:21:57,679
they won't let you drive a car usually

243
00:22:01,590 --> 00:22:00,159
for about a month but uh other than that

244
00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:01,600
uh after about a month you're pretty

245
00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:11,830
my name is antonio and i go to

246
00:22:16,230 --> 00:22:13,760
elementary learning center in cudahy

247
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:16,240
california and my question is is there

248
00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:27,510
hey

249
00:22:32,070 --> 00:22:29,679
well we're going very very fast up here

250
00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:32,080
five miles per second but we're out of

251
00:22:35,590 --> 00:22:34,000
the atmosphere but there's a little bit

252
00:22:37,510 --> 00:22:35,600
of atmosphere left there so there are a

253
00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:37,520
few atoms i guess hitting the front of

254
00:22:41,990 --> 00:22:39,760
station at five miles per second so

255
00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:42,000
that's a very weak wind but it's enough

256
00:22:45,909 --> 00:22:44,240
to slow the space station down and make

257
00:22:48,070 --> 00:22:45,919
it slowly fall back to earth so every so

258
00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:48,080
often we have to boost it back up again

259
00:22:57,830 --> 00:22:50,000
using a rocket motor on the back of the

260
00:23:02,310 --> 00:23:00,310
my name is aaron smith and i go to

261
00:23:04,789 --> 00:23:02,320
orleans elementary school

262
00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:04,799
in orleans vermont my question is what

263
00:23:14,390 --> 00:23:07,280
is the temperature at the international

264
00:23:18,310 --> 00:23:16,470
inside here it's

265
00:23:19,990 --> 00:23:18,320
just like it is at school for you it's

266
00:23:22,630 --> 00:23:20,000
room temperature very comfortable we're

267
00:23:24,390 --> 00:23:22,640
just working out here in shirt sleeves

268
00:23:25,430 --> 00:23:24,400
but when we go outside on our space

269
00:23:27,750 --> 00:23:25,440
walks

270
00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:27,760
the temperatures can vary plus or minus

271
00:23:39,909 --> 00:23:30,720
200 degrees depending on whether the

272
00:23:44,149 --> 00:23:41,990
hi my name is jackson i am a sixth

273
00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:44,159
grader at hollywood elementary in

274
00:23:48,230 --> 00:23:46,640
murfreesboro tennessee my question is

275
00:23:49,990 --> 00:23:48,240
what is one of the worst and best

276
00:23:55,669 --> 00:23:50,000
effects of being in a microgravity

277
00:24:01,430 --> 00:23:56,789
for

278
00:24:02,789 --> 00:24:01,440
it's very nice to be able to float

279
00:24:05,190 --> 00:24:02,799
that's probably the best effect you get

280
00:24:08,149 --> 00:24:05,200
to hang around and float and you can

281
00:24:09,430 --> 00:24:08,159
become an expert gymnast in seconds you

282
00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:09,440
can do all sorts of things you can't do

283
00:24:13,029 --> 00:24:11,120
on the ground

284
00:24:15,029 --> 00:24:13,039
one of the long-term problems with being

285
00:24:17,669 --> 00:24:15,039
in this environment however is

286
00:24:19,190 --> 00:24:17,679
bone loss muscle deconditioning and

287
00:24:21,110 --> 00:24:19,200
over time we're starting to learn how to

288
00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:21,120
deal with that on board tracy here works

289
00:24:24,390 --> 00:24:22,880
out several hours a day trying to stay

290
00:24:26,789 --> 00:24:24,400
strong so when she gets home in six

291
00:24:33,590 --> 00:24:26,799
months she can

292
00:24:37,909 --> 00:24:35,990
my name is sammy and i am a senior at

293
00:24:39,990 --> 00:24:37,919
wendover high school my question is how

294
00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:40,000
do you feel about flying on the last

295
00:24:55,750 --> 00:24:53,990
well we're not exactly sure that this is

296
00:24:58,230 --> 00:24:55,760
in fact the last space shuttle flight of

297
00:25:00,230 --> 00:24:58,240
atlantis uh if it is though we all

298
00:25:02,149 --> 00:25:00,240
consider it just as important as any of

299
00:25:04,789 --> 00:25:02,159
the other flights this was the 30-second

300
00:25:06,390 --> 00:25:04,799
flight 30-second time that atlantis has

301
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:06,400
launched into space

302
00:25:09,669 --> 00:25:08,080
and flown around the earth many many

303
00:25:12,070 --> 00:25:09,679
times so we're just another crew to be

304
00:25:14,549 --> 00:25:12,080
lucky enough to be part of that program

305
00:25:21,750 --> 00:25:14,559
and uh if it's the last flight

306
00:25:27,909 --> 00:25:24,549
my name is charles and i go to john b

307
00:25:29,990 --> 00:25:27,919
carey in richmond virginia my question

308
00:25:36,149 --> 00:25:30,000
is did you like training to be an

309
00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:37,669
yeah well that's a great question

310
00:25:41,190 --> 00:25:39,440
actually training to be an astronaut is

311
00:25:44,070 --> 00:25:41,200
a lot of fun

312
00:25:45,590 --> 00:25:44,080
we get to fly airplanes around work in

313
00:25:48,549 --> 00:25:45,600
the simulator

314
00:25:50,230 --> 00:25:48,559
and go to class all the things that you

315
00:25:53,190 --> 00:25:50,240
would learn in school

316
00:25:54,950 --> 00:25:53,200
we've been training uh the sts-132 crew

317
00:25:57,190 --> 00:25:54,960
has been training about eight months so

318
00:25:58,630 --> 00:25:57,200
just about a school year getting ready

319
00:26:05,269 --> 00:25:58,640
for this mission but

320
00:26:10,149 --> 00:26:07,830
my name is serena anderson and i go to

321
00:26:13,750 --> 00:26:10,159
cumberland middle school in cumberland

322
00:26:15,190 --> 00:26:13,760
wisconsin my question is when you go up

323
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:15,200
into space

324
00:26:24,549 --> 00:26:16,960
like how much pressure is it and how

325
00:26:29,669 --> 00:26:27,510
right so um here on the space station

326
00:26:34,070 --> 00:26:29,679
the uh the atmospheric pressure in here

327
00:26:36,390 --> 00:26:34,080
is just like sea level uh 14.7 psi

328
00:26:37,269 --> 00:26:36,400
um as far as like during launch we feel

329
00:26:39,590 --> 00:26:37,279
a lot of

330
00:26:42,710 --> 00:26:39,600
forces acceleration as we're going up in

331
00:26:44,950 --> 00:26:42,720
the space shuttle up to three times our

332
00:26:47,190 --> 00:26:44,960
normal body weight so it feels like

333
00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:47,200
there's three of your friends standing

334
00:26:50,950 --> 00:26:48,799
on your chest

335
00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:50,960
as you're launching into space and

336
00:26:54,310 --> 00:26:52,640
sometimes it's a little bit of work just

337
00:26:57,350 --> 00:26:54,320
to raise your

338
00:26:59,909 --> 00:26:57,360
chest up to get some air into your lungs

339
00:27:02,549 --> 00:26:59,919
but after a couple days here on uh on

340
00:27:09,830 --> 00:27:02,559
station you really adapt to all this and

341
00:27:13,750 --> 00:27:12,149
hi my name is megan and i'm from orangey

342
00:27:15,669 --> 00:27:13,760
hardy middle school in des moines iowa

343
00:27:17,350 --> 00:27:15,679
and my question is is how long does it

344
00:27:22,789 --> 00:27:17,360
take for

345
00:27:26,549 --> 00:27:25,269
now this is a tricky question

346
00:27:28,389 --> 00:27:26,559
how long does it take for water for

347
00:27:30,310 --> 00:27:28,399
evaporating space if you put some water

348
00:27:31,990 --> 00:27:30,320
out of space if you're on the night side

349
00:27:35,590 --> 00:27:32,000
of the earth it'll just freeze solid in

350
00:27:38,070 --> 00:27:35,600
a like a rock-hard iceberg immediately

351
00:27:40,950 --> 00:27:38,080
if you're on the

352
00:27:42,389 --> 00:27:40,960
on the sun side it'll flash and boil

353
00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:42,399
almost immediately and you'll just get

354
00:27:45,909 --> 00:27:44,640
water vapor and sometimes there's some

355
00:27:48,149 --> 00:27:45,919
places where the water doesn't know

356
00:27:50,149 --> 00:27:48,159
whether to freeze or boil and it kind of

357
00:27:57,430 --> 00:27:50,159
does both at the same time

358
00:28:01,669 --> 00:27:59,029
my name is charles wallace and i go to

359
00:28:03,269 --> 00:28:01,679
cairo's middle school in conyers georgia

360
00:28:05,269 --> 00:28:03,279
i would like to know

361
00:28:20,070 --> 00:28:05,279
are there any concerns about the closure

362
00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:21,430
well the end of the space shuttle

363
00:28:27,350 --> 00:28:24,240
program is essentially inevitable uh and

364
00:28:30,070 --> 00:28:27,360
that is because the space shuttle can't

365
00:28:33,350 --> 00:28:30,080
travel outside of low earth orbit and if

366
00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:33,360
we as humans want to explore deeper into

367
00:28:37,510 --> 00:28:36,000
the universe

368
00:28:39,669 --> 00:28:37,520
it's starting with maybe the moon moving

369
00:28:41,110 --> 00:28:39,679
on to asteroids and mars

370
00:28:43,669 --> 00:28:41,120
the space shuttle is not the machine

371
00:28:45,669 --> 00:28:43,679
that can do it so we simply don't have

372
00:28:47,590 --> 00:28:45,679
enough money to continue to operate the

373
00:28:49,750 --> 00:28:47,600
space shuttle and develop a whole new

374
00:28:50,870 --> 00:28:49,760
spacecraft that can go beyond low earth

375
00:28:53,029 --> 00:28:50,880
orbit

376
00:28:55,990 --> 00:28:53,039
so it's a it's a decision of

377
00:28:57,669 --> 00:28:56,000
national will you know if we want to

378
00:28:59,190 --> 00:28:57,679
explore the universe we've got to stop

379
00:29:00,630 --> 00:28:59,200
flying the space shuttle and it's a

380
00:29:06,310 --> 00:29:00,640
simple reality

381
00:29:10,149 --> 00:29:08,870
my name is william

382
00:29:15,430 --> 00:29:10,159
and

383
00:29:19,110 --> 00:29:15,440
in first grade in forest lake elementary

384
00:29:21,269 --> 00:29:19,120
in columbia south carolina my question

385
00:29:31,110 --> 00:29:21,279
is

386
00:29:34,310 --> 00:29:33,510
hey william uh thanks for asking that

387
00:29:36,149 --> 00:29:34,320
question

388
00:29:37,830 --> 00:29:36,159
um it's a good one

389
00:29:39,750 --> 00:29:37,840
the reason that there's not as much you

390
00:29:42,310 --> 00:29:39,760
don't feel as much gravity on the moon

391
00:29:44,070 --> 00:29:42,320
is because it's smaller than the earth

392
00:29:45,350 --> 00:29:44,080
the amount of gravity that a given

393
00:29:47,590 --> 00:29:45,360
planet

394
00:29:49,909 --> 00:29:47,600
or any anything for that matter pulls on

395
00:29:52,070 --> 00:29:49,919
everything else has is

396
00:29:54,789 --> 00:29:52,080
related to how big it is how much mass

397
00:29:57,510 --> 00:29:54,799
it has so the moon has a lot less mass

398
00:29:59,430 --> 00:29:57,520
than the earth so there's less gravity

399
00:30:01,669 --> 00:29:59,440
and if you go to jupiter which has got a

400
00:30:04,070 --> 00:30:01,679
lot more mass than the earth then you'd

401
00:30:06,549 --> 00:30:04,080
feel a lot of gravity and

402
00:30:12,789 --> 00:30:06,559
you'd feel really really heavy so that's

403
00:30:17,269 --> 00:30:14,710
hi my name is michelle i'm a junior

404
00:30:19,269 --> 00:30:17,279
winnover high my question is what is it

405
00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:19,279
like seeing the sunset or sun rise every

406
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,669
well i'm starting to answer the question

407
00:30:36,789 --> 00:30:34,950
no because you get to go around the

408
00:30:39,029 --> 00:30:36,799
earth every 90 minutes or so you

409
00:30:41,110 --> 00:30:39,039
naturally see a sunset in the sunrise

410
00:30:42,710 --> 00:30:41,120
every 90 minutes and it's really amazing

411
00:30:44,549 --> 00:30:42,720
because you get to watch

412
00:30:46,230 --> 00:30:44,559
you know the earth below you both at

413
00:30:47,269 --> 00:30:46,240
night and during the day in just an hour

414
00:30:49,110 --> 00:30:47,279
and a half

415
00:30:50,470 --> 00:30:49,120
which is really really exciting the

416
00:30:51,510 --> 00:30:50,480
problem becomes when you're trying to go

417
00:30:52,870 --> 00:30:51,520
to sleep

418
00:30:54,310 --> 00:30:52,880
for some people

419
00:30:56,310 --> 00:30:54,320
because you have to have to shut the

420
00:30:57,430 --> 00:30:56,320
windows and seal yourself off inside and

421
00:30:58,470 --> 00:30:57,440
turn out the lights because otherwise

422
00:31:00,389 --> 00:30:58,480
you'd have the light coming through the

423
00:31:04,070 --> 00:31:00,399
windows every 45 minutes and that might

424
00:31:06,710 --> 00:31:04,080
keep some people awake

425
00:31:08,549 --> 00:31:06,720
oh outside oh going outside is eva

426
00:31:10,230 --> 00:31:08,559
that's a lot more fun because you're not

427
00:31:12,630 --> 00:31:10,240
constrained by the windows and you have

428
00:31:13,830 --> 00:31:12,640
the opportunity to uh look down and see

429
00:31:15,669 --> 00:31:13,840
the earth

430
00:31:17,430 --> 00:31:15,679
pass below your feet

431
00:31:19,669 --> 00:31:17,440
in darkness and in light and it's

432
00:31:21,029 --> 00:31:19,679
amazing what you can see at night uh not

433
00:31:23,350 --> 00:31:21,039
on this mission on a previous mission i

434
00:31:25,029 --> 00:31:23,360
saw a meteorite pass below me into the

435
00:31:28,389 --> 00:31:25,039
atmosphere and glow and that was pretty

436
00:31:30,310 --> 00:31:28,399
amazing lightning storms the aurora we

437
00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:30,320
saw the other day all sorts of amazing

438
00:31:33,990 --> 00:31:32,320
things you get to see outside at night

439
00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:34,000
that you don't necessarily think of you

440
00:31:41,430 --> 00:31:39,990
let me just add something to that real

441
00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:41,440
quick the other interesting thing about

442
00:31:45,909 --> 00:31:43,200
sunrises and sunsets up here though is

443
00:31:47,350 --> 00:31:45,919
that they happen really fast so it's not

444
00:31:49,269 --> 00:31:47,360
like at home when you're sitting on the

445
00:31:51,750 --> 00:31:49,279
beach and just enjoying the sunset go

446
00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:51,760
down into the ocean very slowly here it

447
00:31:55,350 --> 00:31:53,760
just happens uh so fast because we're

448
00:31:56,470 --> 00:31:55,360
traveling around the world so fast so

449
00:31:57,430 --> 00:31:56,480
you're out there and you're looking at

450
00:31:59,909 --> 00:31:57,440
the sun

451
00:32:08,789 --> 00:31:59,919
and it's bright bright bright bright

452
00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:10,630
hi my name is hannah i'm a fourth grader

453
00:32:15,590 --> 00:32:12,720
in highland in texas in comparison to

454
00:32:17,430 --> 00:32:15,600
plant life on earth to the plants grown

455
00:32:22,630 --> 00:32:17,440
on the international space station grow

456
00:32:25,590 --> 00:32:24,870
selena that's a really mature question

457
00:32:27,269 --> 00:32:25,600
and

458
00:32:28,470 --> 00:32:27,279
you're ahead of your time the space

459
00:32:29,830 --> 00:32:28,480
station

460
00:32:31,990 --> 00:32:29,840
science

461
00:32:35,190 --> 00:32:32,000
on board here really is looking at that

462
00:32:37,269 --> 00:32:35,200
very question itself we're looking at

463
00:32:39,269 --> 00:32:37,279
arabidopsis seeds and trying to

464
00:32:42,310 --> 00:32:39,279
understand because we see that the roots

465
00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:42,320
grow in a different way here on orbit

466
00:32:46,070 --> 00:32:44,240
with the lack of gravity than they do on

467
00:32:48,630 --> 00:32:46,080
earth and we're hoping that that will

468
00:32:51,269 --> 00:32:48,640
help us to understand plant growth on

469
00:32:52,470 --> 00:32:51,279
earth a little better so i can tell you

470
00:32:54,070 --> 00:32:52,480
that

471
00:32:55,590 --> 00:32:54,080
they do grow a little differently but

472
00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:55,600
how that's something that we're studying

473
00:32:57,909 --> 00:32:56,480
right now

474
00:33:00,710 --> 00:32:57,919
it's kind of interesting to see plants

475
00:33:06,230 --> 00:33:00,720
growing up here in the space station

476
00:33:10,070 --> 00:33:07,990
my name is jackie black and i go to

477
00:33:11,509 --> 00:33:10,080
arapahoe middle school in

478
00:33:13,110 --> 00:33:11,519
arapahoe

479
00:33:15,269 --> 00:33:13,120
my question is do you take any

480
00:33:23,590 --> 00:33:15,279
medication for the function of your bone

481
00:33:29,509 --> 00:33:26,389
actually i'd have to say no we don't

482
00:33:32,389 --> 00:33:29,519
take any medications uh that i know of

483
00:33:35,350 --> 00:33:32,399
but we are trying to understand

484
00:33:37,669 --> 00:33:35,360
better how to preserve bone mass up here

485
00:33:38,710 --> 00:33:37,679
on orbit for long duration and so one of

486
00:33:49,669 --> 00:33:38,720
the

487
00:33:51,990 --> 00:33:49,679
more exercise we do before we launch

488
00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:52,000
into space as well as while we're on

489
00:33:56,310 --> 00:33:54,480
orbit helps to maintain

490
00:33:58,470 --> 00:33:56,320
our bone mass which is extremely

491
00:34:00,470 --> 00:33:58,480
important and we're trying to study that

492
00:34:01,830 --> 00:34:00,480
right now to see how much we need to do

493
00:34:04,230 --> 00:34:01,840
and for

494
00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:04,240
how frequent we need to do that in order

495
00:34:09,030 --> 00:34:06,880
to maintain and possibly even grow

496
00:34:10,950 --> 00:34:09,040
stronger bones on orbit and that will

497
00:34:11,829 --> 00:34:10,960
also help us to understand our own bone

498
00:34:14,069 --> 00:34:11,839
growth

499
00:34:20,470 --> 00:34:14,079
back at home on earth great questions

500
00:34:28,869 --> 00:34:23,589
atlantis iss this is houston acr thank

501
00:34:32,230 --> 00:34:30,389
thank you atlanta station and nasa

502
00:34:33,750 --> 00:34:32,240
explorer schools

503
00:34:37,430 --> 00:34:33,760
atlantis station we're now resuming

504
00:34:40,869 --> 00:34:38,869
there is the very southern tip of

505
00:34:42,310 --> 00:34:40,879
ireland coming into view uh here soon

506
00:34:43,990 --> 00:34:42,320
you will see

507
00:34:45,829 --> 00:34:44,000
parts of england and then a few seconds

508
00:34:53,589 --> 00:34:45,839
you'll see the very western edge of

509
00:34:57,109 --> 00:34:55,430
the station's cameras had been pointed

510
00:34:58,310 --> 00:34:57,119
toward the north since uh this

511
00:34:59,910 --> 00:34:58,320
particular

512
00:35:02,950 --> 00:34:59,920
part of the orbit was taking the station

513
00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:02,960
and the shuttle fairly close within the

514
00:35:06,870 --> 00:35:05,280
vicinity of where that icelandic volcano

515
00:35:08,310 --> 00:35:06,880
ash cloud has been impacting the

516
00:35:09,750 --> 00:35:08,320
atmosphere

517
00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:09,760
of course it's a very cloudy day right

518
00:35:14,230 --> 00:35:11,200
now over the atlantic so it's a bit hard

519
00:35:18,710 --> 00:35:14,240
to tell what are clouds and what is

520
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:19,990
while the station and the shuttle

521
00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:22,240
continue to orbit the crews on board

522
00:35:26,950 --> 00:35:24,800
enjoying some off-duty time

523
00:35:50,630 --> 00:35:26,960
they've fairly much wrapped up their

524
00:35:54,310 --> 00:35:52,790
this is mission control houston this is

525
00:35:55,990 --> 00:35:54,320
a look at the current position of the

526
00:35:57,910 --> 00:35:56,000
international space station and space

527
00:35:59,750 --> 00:35:57,920
shuttle atlantis docked in their final

528
00:36:01,109 --> 00:35:59,760
hours the two vehicles are just making

529
00:36:02,950 --> 00:36:01,119
their way off the

530
00:36:07,349 --> 00:36:02,960
northwest coast of the united states

531
00:36:11,190 --> 00:36:08,710
on a track that will take them over

532
00:36:13,030 --> 00:36:11,200
montana and wyoming and nebraska on

533
00:36:15,109 --> 00:36:13,040
their next orbit they will be crossing

534
00:36:16,550 --> 00:36:15,119
over california and arizona where there

535
00:36:18,069 --> 00:36:16,560
will be sighting opportunities so we

536
00:36:19,109 --> 00:36:18,079
encourage you to check out our nasa

537
00:36:20,710 --> 00:36:19,119
website

538
00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:20,720
for that information where you can see

539
00:36:28,710 --> 00:36:22,560
the docked complex as it's traveling

540
00:36:32,710 --> 00:36:30,550
that will be a relatively good setting

541
00:36:34,630 --> 00:36:32,720
opportunity for some of those areas

542
00:36:37,750 --> 00:36:34,640
again you can find the information at

543
00:36:39,030 --> 00:36:37,760
our website www.nasa.gov

544
00:36:40,870 --> 00:36:39,040
where it will provide you with

545
00:36:44,790 --> 00:36:40,880
information on the direction of flight

546
00:36:48,230 --> 00:36:46,550
on board the crew members are in their

547
00:36:49,990 --> 00:36:48,240
crew sleep period were

548
00:36:52,550 --> 00:36:50,000
about a little more than five hours from

549
00:36:53,670 --> 00:36:52,560
their expected wake up at 11 50 pm

550
00:36:54,790 --> 00:36:53,680
central time

551
00:36:56,870 --> 00:36:54,800
then they'll have some personal and

552
00:36:58,470 --> 00:36:56,880
hygiene time before the joint crews turn

553
00:37:00,870 --> 00:36:58,480
their focus to the undocking of the two

554
00:37:03,030 --> 00:37:00,880
spacecraft they'll have some early tool

555
00:37:04,790 --> 00:37:03,040
checkout activity to support that

556
00:37:06,550 --> 00:37:04,800
undocking then all the crew members will

557
00:37:08,150 --> 00:37:06,560
gather on the international space

558
00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:08,160
station for a news conference with

559
00:37:12,470 --> 00:37:09,760
