1
00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:04,550
nasa's providing advice the chileans are

2
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:07,040
very well organized they have a lot of

3
00:00:11,910 --> 00:00:09,120
resources at their disposal

4
00:00:13,589 --> 00:00:11,920
they have done a lot for the miners and

5
00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:13,599
in fact the miners have done a lot for

6
00:00:19,029 --> 00:00:16,480
themselves underground to show the will

7
00:00:22,150 --> 00:00:19,039
to survive and to organize themselves to

8
00:00:25,269 --> 00:00:22,160
be able to survive this long so our

9
00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:25,279
our plan is to go down and provide the

10
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:28,000
advice that the chileans have requested

11
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:30,400
in the areas of nutritional support and

12
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:37,270
we're planning on traveling down early

13
00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:38,719
next week

14
00:00:43,670 --> 00:00:41,120
we have a team of four individuals

15
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:43,680
including myself and that team consists

16
00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:45,440
of two physicians

17
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:54,229
nasa's had a long experience in dealing

18
00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:55,199
with

19
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:57,440
isolated environments

20
00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:58,399
in particular

21
00:01:04,229 --> 00:01:00,480
currently on the space station

22
00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:04,239
we train and plan contingencies for

23
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:06,159
emergencies and

24
00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:08,479
we also have experience in other analog

25
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:11,280
environments undersea environments and

26
00:01:20,550 --> 00:01:14,000
we've had some dealings with our

27
00:01:26,789 --> 00:01:22,630
environments may well be different but

28
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:26,799
the human response both physiology and

29
00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:28,320
behavior

30
00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:31,200
responses to emergencies is is quite

31
00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:33,280
similar so we think that some of the

32
00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:34,640
things that we've learned either in

33
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:37,119
research or in operations

34
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:38,720
can be applicable

35
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:40,720
to the the miners that are trapped

36
00:01:50,149 --> 00:01:48,630
you know the chileans are very

37
00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:50,159
well organized down there and the

38
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:52,079
contacts that we've had

39
00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:55,200
they have a lot of resources at their

40
00:01:59,830 --> 00:01:57,119
disposal they've not asked us for any

41
00:02:01,670 --> 00:01:59,840
specific resources other than the advice

42
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:01,680
that we might have learned

43
00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:03,200
either through our research or our

44
00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:09,109
dealings in in space flight and it's an

45
00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:11,120
opportunity for us to bring the space

46
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:13,040
flight experience back down to the
