my grandmother if 22 00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:25,990 however you know they would understand 23 00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:29,759 it and of course they would have to um 24 00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:30,960 live with it 25 00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:32,880 uh you know unfortunately that's not 26 00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:34,159 going to happen now though because my 27 00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:37,040 brother's shuttle mission was delayed 28 00:01:41,590 --> 00:01:39,600 so i'll be home before 29 00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:41,600 my brother launches so that's 30 00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:44,320 something my mother or my parents 31 00:02:02,870 --> 00:01:46,000 you know are not going to have to worry 32 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,109 you any 33 00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:15,350 anything to the space station 34 00:02:18,869 --> 00:02:16,470 well 35 00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:18,879 excitingly enough when we woke up on 36 00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:21,040 christmas morning we all sleep in little 37 00:02:26,949 --> 00:02:23,920 cabins and when we opened our doors 38 00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:26,959 we each had a little tiny present tied 39 00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:29,120 on the outside of our doors 40 00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:32,959 and it was chocolate and actually for me 41 00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:33,920 this 42 00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:35,200 tiny little 43 00:02:41,509 --> 00:02:39,360 and so we did have some presents from 44 00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:41,519 santa claus it's hard to bring things to 45 00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:43,040 space so i think he just brought little 46 00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:55,910 hi i'm zachary corkwell 47 00:03:01,350 --> 00:02:58,640 my question is for mr nespoli 48 00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:01,360 what special italian holiday items or 49 00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:03,280 food did you bring with you on the 50 00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:10,470 hey zachary i think you like food 51 00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:13,519 because this is a food question here so 52 00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:15,440 yes i'm 53 00:03:19,509 --> 00:03:17,200 i actually did not bring much with me 54 00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:19,519 because you know we flew up here with 55 00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:22,319 this russian uh spacecraft it's very 56 00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:24,480 very small you cannot really bring much 57 00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:26,720 so i didn't bring anything because i 58 00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:29,760 knew we had plenty of stuff here 59 00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:33,200 and uh and in fact we had uh christmas 60 00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:35,840 dinner all together using some food 61 00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:37,360 items that are 62 00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:39,200 regular the regular from the space 63 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:41,200 station and on top of that the the 64 00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:43,599 russian actually gave us as a gift some 65 00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:45,280 little chocolate so we had plenty of 66 00:04:14,630 --> 00:03:47,519 things to celebrate here are some of the 67 00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:16,710 my name is brandon weber and my question 68 00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:19,040 is for scott kelly 69 00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:21,600 um what was your response when you were 70 00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:23,840 selected to be commander of expedition 71 00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:30,070 wow that was uh 72 00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:32,560 that was some time ago that was in 2007 73 00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:36,160 after my last mission and uh 74 00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:38,000 you know this is a 75 00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:39,520 pretty uh 76 00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:41,680 big facility in space the international 77 00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:43,840 space station and it's a 78 00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:46,240 you know a program that involves many 79 00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:49,120 many different countries so certainly a 80 00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:51,360 lot of responsibility um 81 00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:52,880 you know it's a real privilege to have 82 00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:55,440 this job so it was all is also somewhat 83 00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:57,840 humbling to to be able to you know serve 84 00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:00,560 in this uh capacity so you know a little 85 00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:03,360 excitement uh you know but also a little 86 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:06,000 i guess uh humbled by the uh 87 00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:07,680 you know by asking to 88 00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:24,150 i am danny smerdell and my question is 89 00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:26,960 for miss coleman 90 00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:28,639 what were some of the endurance and 91 00:05:32,469 --> 00:05:30,720 tolerance records you set well with the 92 00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:32,479 air force and how they helped you in 93 00:05:43,990 --> 00:05:41,749 in the air force we were looking at new 94 00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:44,000 kinds of what we call g-suits they're 95 00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:46,880 special equipment that pilots wear that 96 00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:50,080 keep all the um the blood um from going 97 00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:51,600 down from their head all the way down to 98 00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:54,720 their feet when they pull g's and i just 99 00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:58,560 happen to be pretty good at doing that 100 00:06:01,909 --> 00:05:59,919 i think one of the things you learn when 101 00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:01,919 you do things like that that are hard is 102 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:04,960 that all you can do is do your best and 103 00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:07,120 also for me it helps not to think about 104 00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:08,880 maybe running a whole race you know 105 00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:11,280 doing something for a long time but just 106 00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:13,919 doing it just for a minute now and just 107 00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:15,680 for another minute and just for another 108 00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:18,000 minute so if some task seems really hard 109 00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:20,560 for you and it's long i would just cut 110 00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:22,319 it into little pieces and try to do your 111 00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:35,189 hi my name is catherine dobkowski and my 112 00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:37,520 question is for scott kelly 113 00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:39,440 what is the most difficult thing about 114 00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:41,520 long-duration mission training as 115 00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:54,390 well when you're 116 00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:55,680 when you're training for a short 117 00:06:59,990 --> 00:06:58,319 duration mission on the space shuttle 118 00:07:02,150 --> 00:07:00,000 most of your training is 119 00:07:03,749 --> 00:07:02,160 takes place in in houston texas at the 120 00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:03,759 johnson space center 121 00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:05,520 but because this is an international 122 00:07:10,790 --> 00:07:08,400 space station with uh with modules that 123 00:07:13,430 --> 00:07:10,800 are built all over the world 124 00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:13,440 our training takes place in uh 125 00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:15,759 different countries in europe mostly in 126 00:07:19,749 --> 00:07:17,120 germany 127 00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:19,759 russia japan canada 128 00:07:22,950 --> 00:07:21,120 so 129 00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:22,960 the difficult most difficult part about 130 00:07:27,909 --> 00:07:25,840 it is associated with the travel to get 131 00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:27,919 to those places and and the time spent 132 00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:30,479 away from home in other words missing 133 00:07:34,390 --> 00:07:32,160 family and friends 134 00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:34,400 and the the time change that you have to 135 00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:36,080 deal with when you're traveling over 136 00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:38,240 multiple time zones 137 00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:40,400 and then uh you know getting up first 138 00:07:45,430 --> 00:07:42,080 thing monday morning 139 00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:45,440 to to train in a different uh location 140 00:07:50,309 --> 00:07:48,400 when you're really sleepy that's uh you 141 00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:50,319 know those two things missing family and 142 00:07:54,309 --> 00:07:51,840 friends and being 143 00:08:04,710 --> 00:07:54,319 being tired because of the time changes 144 00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:07,350 my name is michael borowski and my 145 00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:14,070 uh you worked on the payload and crew 146 00:08:18,469 --> 00:08:16,319 support computer used on the russian 147 00:08:20,230 --> 00:08:18,479 space station mir 148 00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:20,240 how old were you when you became 149 00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:30,230 hi michael uh 150 00:08:35,269 --> 00:08:32,640 well i i actually bought one of the 151 00:08:37,829 --> 00:08:35,279 first computer computers that were put 152 00:08:40,310 --> 00:08:37,839 in in the market in the early 80s i 153 00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:40,320 think it was 1982 154 00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:43,120 it was a very complicated little thing 155 00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:44,959 very difficult to to work but it was 156 00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:47,760 fascinating i mean i think already then 157 00:08:52,470 --> 00:08:50,480 it was it was interesting to know and to 158 00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:52,480 see you could see how these little 159 00:08:59,110 --> 00:08:55,600 machines could reverse revolution but 160 00:09:01,110 --> 00:08:59,120 change our life and uh and i thought we 161 00:09:02,389 --> 00:09:01,120 should not miss out of it so i bought i 162 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:02,399 bought into that 163 00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:03,360 um 164 00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:08,630 and and that's it i mean i wanted to to 165 00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:10,480 learn this because i felt that they were 166 00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:12,720 important and in fact they are extremely 167 00:09:26,630 --> 00:09:24,070 hello my name is ricky gellmore and my 168 00:09:28,389 --> 00:09:26,640 question is for astronaut kelly 169 00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:28,399 you belong to the society of 170 00:09:32,630 --> 00:09:30,640 experimental test pilots 171 00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:32,640 what kinds of experimental test flights 172 00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:41,110 ricky uh that's a that's a good question 173 00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:42,160 i uh 174 00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:44,240 i've been at nasa now for 175 00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:46,800 uh over 14 years so 176 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:48,880 it's been a while since i was doing 177 00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:50,640 experimental test flying but some of the 178 00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:52,720 uh stuff i was involved with i was the 179 00:09:57,829 --> 00:09:55,360 first pilot ever ever 180 00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:57,839 to fly an f-14 with a 181 00:10:01,990 --> 00:09:59,600 experimental digital flight control 182 00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:02,000 system installed in it and 183 00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:03,920 you know did some what's called high 184 00:10:08,949 --> 00:10:06,160 angle of attack and departure testing so 185 00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:08,959 trying to you know get the airplane into 186 00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:11,760 a spin or close to getting into a spin 187 00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:14,640 um i also did some testing uh trying to 188 00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:17,440 see how heavy we could launch an f-14 189 00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:20,240 tomcat off of an aircraft carrier 190 00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:21,360 and 191 00:10:40,310 --> 00:10:25,600 most of the test flying i did involve 192 00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:42,870 what exactly were you doing as chief of 193 00:10:55,590 --> 00:10:52,710 well i was in charge of robotics from an 194 00:10:58,550 --> 00:10:55,600 astronaut's point of view and that means 195 00:11:01,030 --> 00:10:58,560 how the robotic arms operate and how we 196 00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:01,040 learn about how they operate we have 197 00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:03,440 folks that teach us how to 198 00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:05,920 use the robotic arms and we try to make 199 00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:07,600 sure that we know everything we need to 200 00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:09,600 know before we come up here and do our 201 00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:12,000 mission for example on this mission the 202 00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:14,560 three of us will capture the japanese a 203 00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:18,240 japanese supply ship called the htv and 204 00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:19,920 what will happen is it'll come up to the 205 00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:22,720 space station it'll hover right outside 206 00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:24,720 and then with the robotic arm controlled 207 00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:26,880 by paulo and i we will actually reach 208 00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:29,680 out and grab that supply ship and then 209 00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:32,240 stick it onto the space station and so 210 00:11:36,150 --> 00:11:33,920 all the training that i learned in 211 00:11:38,310 --> 00:11:36,160 houston on the robotic arm i'll be using 212 00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:38,320 it for that task and my job as the chief 213 00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:40,720 of robotics was to make sure that people 214 00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:42,880 like me crew members training to get 215 00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:44,880 ready for space were learning all the 216 00:11:48,310 --> 00:11:46,560 things they really needed to know in 217 00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:48,320 space so we'll find out at the end of 218 00:12:03,030 --> 00:12:00,470 my question is for 219 00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:03,040 pielo nespoli and my name is terrell 220 00:12:08,550 --> 00:12:04,720 barrow 221 00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:08,560 growing up in italy what experiences 222 00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:12,160 convinced you to become an astronaut 223 00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:14,880 and how old were you when you made 224 00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:22,470 that's an interesting question you know 225 00:12:28,710 --> 00:12:26,480 i'm old enough to have witnessed uh live 226 00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:28,720 uh the first images that came back down 227 00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:31,040 from the moon and i remember watching 228 00:12:36,230 --> 00:12:33,600 these guys jumping around 229 00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:36,240 on the moon and thinking wow i really 230 00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:38,079 like that i want to be also an astronaut 231 00:12:41,590 --> 00:12:39,839 when i grow up 232 00:12:44,629 --> 00:12:41,600 but then you know 233 00:12:46,629 --> 00:12:44,639 i i grew up and and i decided to 234 00:12:49,829 --> 00:12:46,639 actually try to pursue this career when 235 00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:49,839 i was 25 and this is when 236 00:12:53,829 --> 00:12:51,279 i really worked 237 00:12:55,990 --> 00:12:53,839 towards it it took me many many years 238 00:12:57,509 --> 00:12:56,000 before i eventually got selected as an 239 00:12:59,590 --> 00:12:57,519 astronaut but 240 00:13:07,350 --> 00:12:59,600 it's possible even for somebody coming 241 00:13:12,949 --> 00:13:09,509 my name is gary my name is gary 242 00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:12,959 mcdonough and my question is for 243 00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:14,480 scott kelly 244 00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:16,880 how how will you celebrate your birthday 245 00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:19,519 on february 21st on the international 246 00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:27,269 well gavin 247 00:13:30,470 --> 00:13:29,120 i'm sure we'll have maybe a little 248 00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:30,480 celebration 249 00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:31,360 that 250 00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:34,000 day actually is a day where we have a 251 00:13:40,550 --> 00:13:37,040 russian space walk going on 252 00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:40,560 and because where my soyuz my return 253 00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:43,120 ship is located 254 00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:45,760 during that spacewalk i have to be 255 00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:48,560 isolated in one of the smaller russian 256 00:13:54,069 --> 00:13:51,040 segment modules the whole time 257 00:13:56,949 --> 00:13:54,079 so for about 12 hours on my birthday 258 00:13:58,470 --> 00:13:56,959 i'll be locked up um 259 00:14:00,550 --> 00:13:58,480 in this module with one of the other 260 00:14:02,710 --> 00:14:00,560 cosmonauts and the reason we do that is 261 00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:02,720 in case we have to come back in an 262 00:14:09,269 --> 00:14:06,720 emergency we're not isolated from our 263 00:14:12,629 --> 00:14:09,279 return vehicle so most of the time not 264 00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:12,639 too much celebrating a lot of waiting 265 00:14:25,269 --> 00:14:23,030 my name is marissa rotino my question is 266 00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:25,279 for catherine coleman how did you train 267 00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:27,040 for long duration flight on the 268 00:14:41,269 --> 00:14:39,829 what we do is uh there's there's people 269 00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:41,279 that have thought about everything that 270 00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:43,519 astronauts need to learn in order to 271 00:14:48,310 --> 00:14:46,000 live and work and and do science 272 00:14:49,829 --> 00:14:48,320 experiments on the space station and 273 00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:49,839 some of those things we learn in the 274 00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:51,760 united states some of those things we 275 00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:53,760 learn in russia we also 276 00:14:58,069 --> 00:14:55,680 do training which is very much like 277 00:15:00,790 --> 00:14:58,079 school we go to class just like you do 278 00:15:01,750 --> 00:15:00,800 we learn things we have tests just like 279 00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:01,760 you do 280 00:15:08,550 --> 00:15:04,240 and uh and so we do those things also in 281 00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:08,560 japan and in um in europe because 282 00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:10,560 there's a whole group of 16 different 283 00:15:14,389 --> 00:15:12,000 countries that have made our space 284 00:15:16,230 --> 00:15:14,399 station and we try to make sure that we 285 00:15:18,310 --> 00:15:16,240 understand how to operate each of their 286 00:15:19,829 --> 00:15:18,320 different parts of the space station so 287 00:15:21,990 --> 00:15:19,839 i've been spending the last two and a 288 00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:22,000 half years learning all those things and 289 00:15:25,590 --> 00:15:23,680 it's pretty exciting to be up here 290 00:15:33,749 --> 00:15:25,600 actually putting all that knowledge to 291 00:15:39,749 --> 00:15:36,710 my name is timothy williamson and i have 292 00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:39,759 a question for mr nespoli 293 00:15:49,829 --> 00:15:41,440 the scuba diving 294 00:15:54,470 --> 00:15:52,550 timothy uh actually yes 295 00:15:55,910 --> 00:15:54,480 when i want to float around here and and 296 00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:55,920 you know i'm hanging 297 00:16:01,829 --> 00:15:58,079 uh like this reminds me a lot about 298 00:16:04,710 --> 00:16:01,839 scuba diving uh uh actually when when i 299 00:16:07,110 --> 00:16:04,720 push in and i fly reminds me when when 300 00:16:09,749 --> 00:16:07,120 sometimes i was under water flying over 301 00:16:11,829 --> 00:16:09,759 coral reefs so nice places though there 302 00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:11,839 are some differences you can 303 00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:13,360 you can 304 00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:20,240 objects or spin around but if you try to 305 00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:22,079 do that here in space it doesn't work so 306 00:16:25,749 --> 00:16:24,000 you have to be really careful because if 307 00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:25,759 you're not careful here you go and slam 308 00:16:35,269 --> 00:16:27,920 against the walls and you do a lot of 309 00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:38,550 my name is ryan valerie and i am asking 310 00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:40,720 a question for scott 311 00:16:45,670 --> 00:16:42,959 kelly how do you breathe in your 312 00:16:53,590 --> 00:16:45,680 spacesuit is its close shot and what 313 00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:54,710 well 314 00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:57,360 um in the spacesuit that we do 315 00:17:04,309 --> 00:17:01,759 spacewalks in the big white one you see 316 00:17:07,590 --> 00:17:04,319 we have oxygen tanks that surprise 317 00:17:09,510 --> 00:17:07,600 supply us with oxygen and 318 00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:09,520 when those run out if they were to run 319 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:11,280 out and hopefully they never will we 320 00:17:14,549 --> 00:17:12,240 have a 321 00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:14,559 spare oxygen tank that will give us just 322 00:17:18,230 --> 00:17:16,000 enough time 323 00:17:20,549 --> 00:17:18,240 to get back into the airlock and get 324 00:17:21,189 --> 00:17:20,559 hooked up to a uh 325 00:17:29,430 --> 00:17:21,199 an 326 00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:29,440 hopefully that'll never happen we have a 327 00:17:33,110 --> 00:17:31,120 lot of very smart people on the ground 328 00:17:35,190 --> 00:17:33,120 that watch how much 329 00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:35,200 oxygen we have as well as other things 330 00:17:40,710 --> 00:17:37,840 that support our life in the space suit 331 00:17:42,950 --> 00:17:40,720 but and we haven't had to use it yet and 332 00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:42,960 but if you ever did run out of air in 333 00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:44,640 the space suit 334 00:17:48,470 --> 00:17:46,640 or oxygen to breathe in the spacesuit or 335 00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:48,480 anywhere else you wouldn't 336 00:18:00,310 --> 00:17:51,200 you wouldn't live very long but 337 00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:03,190 my name is rand singer and 338 00:18:10,789 --> 00:18:09,110 how long did it take you to build up 339 00:18:16,789 --> 00:18:10,799 your great strengths and insurance and 340 00:18:20,549 --> 00:18:19,029 well i don't know if it's great but uh 341 00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:20,559 the only way to build strength and 342 00:18:24,789 --> 00:18:23,200 endurance is to work at it just about 343 00:18:26,630 --> 00:18:24,799 every single day 344 00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:26,640 and when you stop you start losing 345 00:18:30,150 --> 00:18:28,320 strength and endurance up here on the 346 00:18:32,870 --> 00:18:30,160 space station because we don't you know 347 00:18:34,870 --> 00:18:32,880 walk around on our feet or use our our 348 00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:34,880 big muscles just for moving around in 349 00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:37,440 life we actually lose um 350 00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:39,200 bone our bone actually dissolves a 351 00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:41,760 little bit and we lose muscles if we 352 00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:44,880 don't exercise so we exercise almost two 353 00:18:50,549 --> 00:18:47,840 hours every single day we do aerobic 354 00:18:52,630 --> 00:18:50,559 exercise for our hearts and we do 355 00:18:54,470 --> 00:18:52,640 weightlifting exercises although we use 356 00:19:00,789 --> 00:18:54,480 a different system because of course our 357 00:19:05,110 --> 00:19:03,590 well we want to uh thank you from 358 00:19:07,029 --> 00:19:05,120 the great lakes science center and the 359 00:19:09,750 --> 00:19:07,039 nasa glenn research visitor center for 360 00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:09,760 your time today and we'll be waving at 6 361 00:19:17,110 --> 00:19:12,160 13 eastern tonight when you fly over so 362 00:19:21,110 --> 00:19:18,950 well
