like for people 55 00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:10,400 in the human body as we uh spend time up 56 00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:12,239 in space here there's changes that take 57 00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:13,120 place 58 00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:16,560 we're looking at different materials for 59 00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:18,560 making spaceships out of looking for 60 00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:20,720 different ways that fluids behave so we 61 00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:22,879 understand how to fuel ships lots of 62 00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:24,400 different things that we can use the 63 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:26,640 space station as a laboratory to 64 00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:28,560 understand how to get further out into 65 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:35,990 thank you 66 00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:37,750 hopefully the next

affect future will affect future 70 00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:01,040 space exploration including countries 71 00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,789 joe thank you for the question there 72 00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:10,239 well i think 73 00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:12,720 there is no way out we are going to go 74 00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:14,560 into commercialization in the future and 75 00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:16,959 this will be i think a good things for 76 00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:18,079 for us 77 00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:20,160 um because uh 78 00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:21,280 the more 79 00:04:30,070 --> 00:04:27,120 get better we will be able to 80 00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:30,080 exploit user space in a better way and 81 00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:31,759 the cost will be 82 00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:34,400 reduced on top of that 83 00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,720 people that are not professional will be 84 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:38,479 able to go in space i'm looking forward 85 00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:41,040 to the possibility that everybody can go 86 00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:44,080 in space think about a hotel 87 00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:46,320 being able to go in vacation around the 88 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:48,240 earth and see this beautiful planet i'm 89 00:05:00,790 --> 00:04:57,350 commander kelly the next question is for 90 00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:00,800 you by dustin johnson

00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:06,800 grade 95 00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:09,520 uh this question is for you commander 96 00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:12,639 do you find it difficult to eat in space 97 00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:14,960 and how different is the food from here 98 00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:21,590 well it's not 99 00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:24,320 not too difficult to eat although 100 00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:26,240 sometimes if you're not careful the food 101 00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:28,800 gets away from you a little bit then 102 00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:30,720 you might wind up finding it somewhere a 103 00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:32,400 couple of days later which isn't too 104 00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:33,680 much fun 105 00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:35,840 but 106 00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:37,120 the way it 107 00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:39,680 differs the most is that it's not fresh 108 00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:43,199 food and it's you know mostly camping 109 00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:44,960 style food that you 110 00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:47,280 rehydrate or add water to 111 00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:48,400 or 112 00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:51,600 food in pouches and cans so you know the 113 00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:53,840 biggest the biggest way it differs is 114 00:05:58,469 --> 00:05:56,240 it's not uh you know fresh 115 00:06:03,189 --> 00:05:58,479 and that's something that you you really 116 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:13,749 very much 117 00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:14,870 um 118 00:06:18,950 --> 00:06:16,160 good morning 119 00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:18,960 my name is ash sooner and this is my 120 00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:20,400 question 121 00:06:23,909 --> 00:06:22,560 what is your best piece of advice for 122 00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:23,919 someone who would like to be an 123 00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:26,000 aerospace engineer 124 00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:36,469 well i i recommend that you 125 00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:38,800 don't narrow your options too soon i 126 00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:40,800 think to be a good aerospace engineer 127 00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:42,479 means means that you need a good basic 128 00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,160 education in 129 00:06:47,749 --> 00:06:46,479 math engineering the sciences all those 130 00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:47,759 things and 131 00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:49,840 and they all have a lot in common and so 132 00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:51,520 as you go along i would just collect as 133 00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:54,400 many tools as you can as many skills as 134 00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:57,520 many experiences i'd talk to everybody 135 00:07:01,510 -->

00:07:28,240 daniel just be sure to speak up okay 148 00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:37,430 my question is for major nestle 149 00:07:41,189 --> 00:07:39,670 what is the most spectacular thing you 150 00:07:46,469 --> 00:07:41,199 have ever seen while looking down on 151 00:07:50,309 --> 00:07:47,909 hey daniel 152 00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:50,319 it's actually very difficult uh to 153 00:07:54,469 --> 00:07:52,560 answer to this question i flew already 154 00:07:56,629 --> 00:07:54,479 once on the shuttle and and when i came 155 00:07:59,350 --> 00:07:56,639 back i would say the most beautiful 156 00:08:01,990 --> 00:07:59,360 thing i've seen is the sun going down 157 00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:02,000 sunset or sun rises because i see the 158 00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:04,319 the sun going down in this little sliver 159 00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:06,400 atmosphere with all these colors 160 00:08:10,710 --> 00:08:08,720 absolutely beautiful but then i came up 161 00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:10,720 here a month ago in this long duration 162 00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:12,160 mission and i have the chance to look 163 00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:13,840 outside the cupola which we did not have 164 00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:15,680 on the shuttle and look down a little 165 00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:18,960 bit more and and and i i'm getting used 166 00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:21,199 to recognize things and you know it's 167 00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:24,160 very beautiful to to see uh the cities 168 00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:26,960 at night they lit up like a christmas 169 00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:30,160 tree uh i mean it's just astonishing and 170 00:08:34,469 --> 00:08:32,159 then just this morning i was looking 171 00:08:36,389 --> 00:08:34,479 down we were flying over africa and i 172 00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:36,399 started seeing volcanoes and other 173 00:08:40,949 --> 00:08:39,120 things so it's it's it's very i mean i 174 00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:40,959 would say the earth is astonishing and 175 00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:43,599 every day i'm discovering something new 176 00:08:52,630 --> 00:08:50,949 thank you 177 00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:52,640 the next question again is for you 178 00:09:01,990 --> 00:08:59,910 sure to speak up on 179 00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:02,000 uh good morning commander uh my name is 180 00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:03,600 alejandra varmoda i'm an aspiring 181 00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:06,480 aeronautical engineer and c-17 pilot for 182 00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:08,880 the united states air force my question 183 00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:10,000 for you is 184 00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:11,920 what makes training for long duration 185 00:09:18,070 --> 00:09:13,680 missions different from a short duration 186 00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:20,470 that's a good question because they are 187 00:09:25,430 --> 00:09:22,959 significantly different the um 188 00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:25,440 the short duration mission on a on a 189 00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:27,760 space shuttle or in a future maybe a 190 00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:30,000 another vehicle we might build 191 00:09:34,389 --> 00:09:30,880 uh 192 00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:34,399 for 193 00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:35,440 a uh 194 00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:37,360 you know a period of time on the 195 00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:39,839 international space station 196 00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:41,120 is uh 197 00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:42,959 normally or in the case of the shuttle 198 00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:45,120 is centrally located for the most part 199 00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:46,560 in houston 200 00:09:51,269 --> 00:09:48,640 whereas if you're training for a space 201 00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:51,279 station mission it uh involves training 202 00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:53,519 in all different parts of the world 203 00:10:00,150 --> 00:09:57,200 canada germany japan and uh you know and 204 00:10:01,829 --> 00:10:00,160 russia as well as the united states 205 00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:01,839 um 206 00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:04,320 also you know on a shorter mission you 207 00:10:09,829 --> 00:10:06,880 can train for um 208 00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:09,839 basically every minute of the mission 209 00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:12,720 you can you know be prepared to do 210 00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:15,200 that task and and practice it multiple 211 00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:16,959 times where that would be impossible for 212 00:10:21,269 --> 00:10:18,959 a long-duration flight so our her 213 00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:21,279 training is somewhat more more generic 214 00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:22,560 whereas 215 00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:25,200 the uh the the shorter mission is more 216 00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:31,590 thank you commander 217 00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:33,760 the next question will be for dr coleman 218 00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:39,670 good morning doctor 219 00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:41,839 my name is eric mosher and i would like 220 00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:44,000 to ask you 221 00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:46,240 what role will the iss play in future 222 00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:48,000 exploration including visiting other 223 00:10:57,190 --> 00:10:55,430 there's a lot that we need to learn 224 00:10:59,110 --> 00:10:57,200 before we go and take 225 00:11:01,269 --> 00:10:59,120 long journeys you know we know a little 226 00:11:03,350 --> 00:11:01,279 bit about life in low earth orbit for 227 00:11:05,829 --> 00:11:03,360 spending you know six months on the way 228 00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:05,839 to mars understanding the effects of 229 00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:07,040 radiation 230 00:11:11,030 --> 00:11:09,279 um the the effects of the journey on a 231 00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:11,040 human person we need to know a lot more 232 00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:12,880 about that before we start sending 233 00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:15,200 people and so the iss is a really good 234 00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:16,800 place to study that one of the things 235 00:11:21,590 --> 00:11:19,040 that we look at quite a bit is um 236 00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:21,600 actually osteoporosis or the the 237 00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:23,200 weakening of your bones dissolving of 238 00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:25,680 your bones up here and we use exercise 239 00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:27,120 as a countermeasure to help that and 240 00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:28,720 also looking at some different drugs to 241 00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:30,560 help that as well so these are some of 242 00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:32,800 the kinds of answers we need before we 243 00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:35,120 venture further and also a lot of things 244 00:11:39,670 --> 00:11:37,680 about spacecraft design materials design 245 00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:39,680 we have a lot of materials hanging 246 00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:41,360 literally outside our space station and 247 00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:43,200 our space station itself is a giant 248 00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:46,160 experiment seeing how it does in space 249 00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:48,160 so that we understand how to build 250 00:11:56,069 --> 00:11:53,990 thank you very much 251 00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:56,079 the next question is for major nestle 252 00:12:00,550 --> 00:11:58,800 savannah edford 253 00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:00,560 hello my name is savannah at forest i'm 254 00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:02,720 in ninth grade and my question is 255 00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:04,480 given that the crew is international and 256 00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:06,320 comes from vast cultural backgrounds 257 00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:07,920 what is the common language spoken and 258 00:12:16,150 --> 00:12:10,240 how do you cooperate to fulfill duties 259 00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:18,710 savannah we we usually speak english or 260 00:12:23,430 --> 00:12:20,000 at least 261 00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:23,440 i try and everybody tries here 262 00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:25,839 but we usually speak english 263 00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:27,040 of course 264 00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:28,880 part of the station is 265 00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:30,880 controlled under the control center of 266 00:12:35,590 --> 00:12:33,120 uh in moscow russia and puerto rico 267 00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:35,600 members are russians so when there are 268 00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:37,040 dedicated 269 00:12:43,350 --> 00:12:38,880 talks about that part they actually 270 00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:43,360 speaking russia russian also uh we fly 271 00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:47,040 up here with the soyuz spacecraft which 272 00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:49,040 is a russian spacecraft and when we are 273 00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:51,360 in that spacecraft the primary language 274 00:12:56,069 --> 00:12:52,880 is actually russian so all the 275 00:12:56,870 --> 00:12:56,079 documentation is in russian the the 276 00:12:58,790 --> 00:12:56,880 uh 277 00:13:01,430 --> 00:12:58,800 we talked to mission control in moscow 278 00:13:03,829 --> 00:13:01,440 and russian so we need to actually 279 00:13:07,829 --> 00:13:03,839 learn russian at a certain level before 280 00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:10,310 thank you 281 00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:12,560 the next question is for commander kelly 282 00:13:19,110 --> 00:13:17,269 good morning my name is michelle ray and 283 00:13:25,269 --> 00:13:19,120 this is for you commander 284 00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:27,110 yeah that's a good question exercise is 285 00:13:32,069 --> 00:13:29,600 really important up here because of the 286 00:13:34,470 --> 00:13:32,079 microgravity environment 287 00:13:37,269 --> 00:13:34,480 if we don't exercise we'll lose uh bone 288 00:13:38,949 --> 00:13:37,279 and muscle mass and have other you know 289 00:13:40,629 --> 00:13:38,959 effects like you do on earth from not 290 00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:40,639 exercising actually but we don't get a 291 00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:42,399 whole lot of exercise just in our normal 292 00:13:46,790 --> 00:13:43,680 moving around 293 00:13:49,750 --> 00:13:46,800 so exercise is very important and 294 00:13:51,590 --> 00:13:49,760 we have uh on the u.s segment three 295 00:13:54,710 --> 00:13:51,600 primary ways we have a treadmill and 296 00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:54,720 we're held down uh with bungee cords to 297 00:13:59,269 --> 00:13:57,360 the treadmill so we can walk or run 298 00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:59,279 and then we have a weight lifting 299 00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:01,680 machine and you know nothing really has 300 00:14:07,509 --> 00:14:05,360 weight in uh microgravity so it's really 301 00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:07,519 called a resistive exercise device and 302 00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:09,120 it's uh 303 00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:11,920 mimics weights by uh air pressure and 304 00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:14,000 cylinders and it works very very well it 305 00:14:17,750 --> 00:14:15,440 actually feels like you're you're 306 00:14:19,350 --> 00:14:17,760 lifting real weight and then we have a 307 00:14:21,189 --> 00:14:19,360 stationary bicycle 308 00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:21,199 and so we use the treadmill and the 309 00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:23,440 stationary bicycle for aerobic exercise 310 00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:30,710 weight lifting and we do both of those 311 00:14:35,670 --> 00:14:32,320 uh 312 00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:35,680 types of exercise at least once a day on 313 00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:36,880 most days 314 00:14:41,110 --> 00:14:38,800 and on the russian segment they have a 315 00:14:44,389 --> 00:14:41,120 treadmill and they also have a 316 00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:44,399 a stationary bicycle kind of device that 317 00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:46,720 they can ride as a bike but also use for 318 00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:49,440 their arms and it's also 319 00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:51,920 very effective to counter the effects of 320 00:15:00,629 --> 00:14:58,389 thank you 321 00:15:03,670 --> 00:15:00,639 okay the next question is for uh dr 322 00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:03,680 coleman patrick mcmillan 323 00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:06,800 hello dr coleman i'm patrick matt mellon 324 00:15:08,949 --> 00:15:08,000 with the completion of the shuttle 325 00:15:11,110 --> 00:15:08,959 program 326 00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:11,120 nearing how will the iss be maintained 327 00:15:22,150 --> 00:15:20,069 we have a series of supply ships uh some 328 00:15:25,910 --> 00:15:22,160 of them have been coming for years the 329 00:15:27,509 --> 00:15:25,920 the russian progress supply ships and 330 00:15:29,509 --> 00:15:27,519 and those continue to come and resupply 331 00:15:31,910 --> 00:15:29,519 the station from all the countries that 332 00:15:33,509 --> 00:15:31,920 participate in the station program and 333 00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:33,519 we also have 334 00:15:38,389 --> 00:15:35,680 a japanese supply ship that arrives 335 00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:38,399 later on this uh later on this month and 336 00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:40,000 when it arrives it actually hovers 337 00:15:44,230 --> 00:15:42,560 outside the station and then paulo and i 338 00:15:46,470 --> 00:15:44,240 with the robotic arm will reach out and 339 00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:46,480 capture that supply ship and then um 340 00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:48,399 birth it to the station whereas the 341 00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:50,000 progress the russian vehicle actually 342 00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:52,480 comes and autumn and docks to the 343 00:15:57,749 --> 00:15:55,120 station and then we have one more which 344 00:15:59,509 --> 00:15:57,759 is the european supply ship uh the 345 00:16:02,470 --> 00:15:59,519 automated transfer vehicle and that one 346 00:16:04,790 --> 00:16:02,480 comes in february and and that actually 347 00:16:06,710 --> 00:16:04,800 docks to the aft end of the space 348 00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:06,720 station plus we have the space shuttle 349 00:16:11,829 --> 00:16:08,240 still so a lot of different ways to get 350 00:16:16,790 --> 00:16:14,150 thank you very much 351 00:16:20,790 --> 00:16:16,800 the next question is for major nestle 352 00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:23,910 hello major uh 353 00:16:30,710 --> 00:16:27,920 this is master sergeant harrington um 354 00:16:32,949 --> 00:16:30,720 with robonaut 2 set to launch for uh to 355 00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:32,959 the iss do you feel this advantage that 356 00:16:37,829 --> 00:16:34,880 technology will ever take a person's 357 00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:37,839 place in space and will it enhance our 358 00:16:45,509 --> 00:16:40,240 chances to send humans further out in to 359 00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:47,030 well i wish they would be able to build 360 00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:48,880 a robot that would be able to be like a 361 00:16:51,829 --> 00:16:50,720 human so i'll send him to work and i go 362 00:16:53,829 --> 00:16:51,839 on vacation 363 00:16:54,949 --> 00:16:53,839 so that would be nice i think for 364 00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:54,959 everybody 365 00:16:58,069 --> 00:16:56,639 you'll probably send somebody a robot in 366 00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:58,079 school and you go also somewhere else 367 00:17:01,350 --> 00:16:59,759 anyhow 368 00:17:03,509 --> 00:17:01,360 i think i think in the future we will 369 00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:03,519 get there where robots will get 370 00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:05,839 more and more capable of doing complex 371 00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:08,000 things and for sure we would really like 372 00:17:12,789 --> 00:17:10,720 to have robots up here that will do uh 373 00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:12,799 simple tedious things 374 00:17:17,590 --> 00:17:15,520 that we we need to do every day and and 375 00:17:19,829 --> 00:17:17,600 and we do but sometimes we make mistakes 376 00:17:21,669 --> 00:17:19,839 we always don't pay attention or or 377 00:17:24,230 --> 00:17:21,679 they're just too repetitive and too 378 00:17:27,029 --> 00:17:24,240 boring so it will happen i think it will 379 00:17:29,190 --> 00:17:27,039 happen and it will really help us as it 380 00:17:31,590 --> 00:17:29,200 will help us on our daily life if we 381 00:17:34,630 --> 00:17:31,600 will be able to have help and support in 382 00:17:36,470 --> 00:17:34,640 our daily tasks and chores of course it 383 00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:36,480 would be bad if we would build everybody 384 00:17:40,630 --> 00:17:38,400 and set the robot in vacation and we 385 00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:40,640 could stay at work but we will work on 386 00:17:47,350 --> 00:17:44,830 thank you 387 00:17:49,990 --> 00:17:47,360 major unfortunately due to time this 388 00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:50,000 will be the last question commander this 389 00:17:55,270 --> 00:17:52,480 one is for you uh from ms from andrew 390 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,950 hello um my name is 391 00:18:02,470 --> 00:18:00,870 uh andrew is the largest scale 392 00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:02,480 experiment your team is performing while 393 00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:09,110 that's a good question you know we have 394 00:18:13,590 --> 00:18:11,760 uh over 130 different science 395 00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:13,600 experiments 396 00:18:17,590 --> 00:18:15,120 being conducted onboard the space 397 00:18:19,750 --> 00:18:17,600 station during the time i'm here but i 398 00:18:21,590 --> 00:18:19,760 think the biggest experiment is just the 399 00:18:24,230 --> 00:18:21,600 space station itself 400 00:18:26,470 --> 00:18:24,240 having a facility that's operating in 401 00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:26,480 low earth orbit for 10 years now and 402 00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:30,320 another 10 years to come man by humans 403 00:18:36,630 --> 00:18:33,760 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a 404 00:18:38,549 --> 00:18:36,640 year is a experiment you know this space 405 00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:38,559 station 406 00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:40,960 has life support systems that need to be 407 00:18:46,310 --> 00:18:42,799 operated for a really long time 408 00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:46,320 electrical power systems cooling systems 409 00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:47,280 and 410 00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:49,440 not to mention the human system 411 00:18:53,350 --> 00:18:51,760 which all of those combined is very very 412 00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:53,360 important if we are ever going to 413 00:18:59,510 --> 00:18:57,120 venture away from this planet so i think 414 00:19:01,510 --> 00:18:59,520 and it's often overlooked that you know 415 00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:01,520 the biggest experiment is just this
