00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:02,600
BBC World News this is Houston please

2
00:00:08,750 --> 00:00:05,490
call station for a voice check we have

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:08,760
established contact with paolo nespoli

4
00:00:17,450 --> 00:00:11,610
alpha this is BBC News in London how do

5
00:00:21,620 --> 00:00:17,460
you hear me live via BBC news is this

6
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:21,630
station over here loud and clear hearing

7
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:26,160
us now or I'm thank you i am now handing

8
00:00:36,319 --> 00:00:29,490
you over to BBC anchor Tim Wilcox please

9
00:00:38,420 --> 00:00:36,329
go ahead you're watching BBC News we are

10
00:00:40,869 --> 00:00:38,430
live everybody and the International

11
00:00:44,110 --> 00:00:40,879
Space Station with the Italian astronaut

12
00:00:50,330 --> 00:00:44,120
paolo nespoli he'd been up there a month

13
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:50,340
hello paolo can you hear us with your

14
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:53,250
loud and clear welcome on board of the

15
00:01:02,090 --> 00:00:55,890
Columbus European Columbus laboratory on

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:02,100
the International Space Station follow

17
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:03,930
this quite a big delay i'm afraid i

18
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:05,729
think some seven or eight seconds but

19
00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:07,920
how are you feeling you've been up there

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:14,400
a month very good very good that the

21
00:01:21,859 --> 00:01:18,570
launch was very nice everything went

22
00:01:24,140 --> 00:01:21,869
pretty good two days on there's a small

23
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:24,150
vehicle which is the Ross the Russian

24
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:26,970
Soyuz spacecraft but then we got to the

25
00:01:31,370 --> 00:01:28,890
station and here we are in our home in

26
00:01:38,690 --> 00:01:31,380
our laboratory and it's very nice to be

27
00:01:40,999 --> 00:01:38,700
here that the small vehicle stories

28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:41,009
because I think you're 6 foot 6 or 6

29
00:01:45,260 --> 00:01:43,530
foot 7 a bit of a tight squeeze for you

30
00:01:54,139 --> 00:01:45,270
to get in there was that uncomfortable

31
00:01:56,690 --> 00:01:54,149
with journey up to m62 but it's even at

32
00:01:58,969 --> 00:01:56,700
six to it it's quite i want to say

33
00:02:02,330 --> 00:01:58,979
uncomfortable did there saw your swords

34
00:02:04,429 --> 00:02:02,340
are made for it smaller people in fact i

35
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:04,439
had to make a little modification on the

36
00:02:09,279 --> 00:02:06,329
seat to fit me in there but but it's

37
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:09,289
okay i mean once once you're in space

38
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:12,090
everything even small spaces

39
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:14,160
this three-dimensional effect so you can

40
00:02:17,839 --> 00:02:15,690
have people on there on the ceiling

41
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:17,849
either on the floor either on the walls

42
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:20,910
so it gets a little bit more comfortable

43
00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:23,209
the important thing though is not

44
00:02:28,850 --> 00:02:26,400
comfort but it's the fact that the

45
00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:28,860
search is a very reliable spacecraft in

46
00:02:33,170 --> 00:02:30,480
all these years has been a proven

47
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:33,180
spacecraft can take people from her up

48
00:02:41,479 --> 00:02:34,730
in space and back to earth without

49
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:41,489
problems okay parlor because of the

50
00:02:47,180 --> 00:02:44,370
delay on the line I've got a lot of

51
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:47,190
viewers questions to put to you but

52
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:48,810
first of all perhaps you would just

53
00:02:52,940 --> 00:02:51,090
explain what you're doing in terms of

54
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:52,950
experiments up don't just give us a give

55
00:03:00,280 --> 00:02:55,410
us a little tour around the laboratory

56
00:03:05,930 --> 00:03:03,890
s so this is one of the three major

57
00:03:07,339 --> 00:03:05,940
laboratories that there are on board of

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:07,349
the International Space Station there is

59
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:09,690
a u.s. laboratory japanese laboratory in

60
00:03:13,850 --> 00:03:12,000
a European laboratory this laboratory

61
00:03:16,970 --> 00:03:13,860
are interested because they are modular

62
00:03:19,970 --> 00:03:16,980
each one of these of this structure

63
00:03:23,210 --> 00:03:19,980
they're called rags and and can

64
00:03:25,569 --> 00:03:23,220
accommodate a full facility to carry out

65
00:03:28,490 --> 00:03:25,579
an experiment in certain discipline or

66
00:03:30,410 --> 00:03:28,500
drawers they have a single experiment

67
00:03:32,539 --> 00:03:30,420
and at the interesting part is that

68
00:03:35,449 --> 00:03:32,549
these regs are modular they can be

69
00:03:37,940 --> 00:03:35,459
positioned anywhere on the floor on the

70
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:37,950
ceiling I can easily go on the ceiling

71
00:03:43,789 --> 00:03:41,370
and work here how I would not be able to

72
00:03:45,949 --> 00:03:43,799
do in space I mean on the ground and

73
00:03:48,740 --> 00:03:45,959
while i'm here on the ceiling somebody

74
00:03:50,659 --> 00:03:48,750
else can be working here on the side so

75
00:03:53,470 --> 00:03:50,669
it's very interesting because you get

76
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:53,480
this multiplication effect we have

77
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:55,530
facilities and by the way watching what

78
00:04:00,440 --> 00:03:56,970
you get lost to some trying to figure

79
00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:00,450
out where this varies the camera now we

80
00:04:07,430 --> 00:04:04,380
have facility that do can have us doing

81
00:04:11,659 --> 00:04:07,440
experiment on LiveScience material

82
00:04:14,449 --> 00:04:11,669
science physiology I mean we have we can

83
00:04:21,069 --> 00:04:14,459
do almost everything that any scientist

84
00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:23,350
and presumably this is one of the

85
00:04:28,719 --> 00:04:26,000
reasons ether and you as an astronaut

86
00:04:31,420 --> 00:04:28,729
would say it's essential to keep funding

87
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:31,430
a space exploration like this because of

88
00:04:36,459 --> 00:04:34,310
the value of experiments that can be

89
00:04:43,899 --> 00:04:36,469
carried out and have impact back on

90
00:04:46,059 --> 00:04:43,909
earth Allah yes the the fact that we go

91
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:46,069
here in space and the main reason is

92
00:04:50,499 --> 00:04:48,530
because here we found we find an

93
00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:50,509
environment that we don't have on earth

94
00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:54,560
and then what what what you cannot do on

95
00:05:00,010 --> 00:04:57,440
earth you can do easily here you know

96
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:00,020
went once you remove gravity from the

97
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:02,479
equation things behave in a really

98
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:05,120
different way up here in space and so

99
00:05:17,890 --> 00:05:07,370
you can you can do things that are that

100
00:05:20,140 --> 00:05:17,900
are really different so as attend talk

101
00:05:22,899 --> 00:05:20,150
for example water flows around a lot of

102
00:05:24,999 --> 00:05:22,909
things to happen here and taking away

103
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:25,009
gravity you can you end up being able to

104
00:05:34,059 --> 00:05:26,810
do a lot of a lot of things that honor

105
00:05:40,420 --> 00:05:34,069
that simply impossible how does that

106
00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:46,690
sorry say it again how does that make

107
00:05:56,890 --> 00:05:49,840
things like showering or just normal

108
00:06:00,820 --> 00:05:56,900
bathroom activities how interesting it's

109
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:00,830
interesting because you know I III think

110
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:02,810
I have a lot of fun coming up here

111
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:04,730
because it's like being a kid and I was

112
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:07,130
rediscovering everything you try to do

113
00:06:11,230 --> 00:06:09,410
things the way you are you are you're

114
00:06:13,450 --> 00:06:11,240
normally do and they don't work you

115
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:13,460
simply find yourself very frustrated and

116
00:06:17,620 --> 00:06:15,410
and so you need to learn everything from

117
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:17,630
scratch that like walking on of course

118
00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:19,910
you cannot walk here you go around using

119
00:06:26,310 --> 00:06:23,360
your hands and in showering if another

120
00:06:29,290 --> 00:06:26,320
thing we actually cannot shower because

121
00:06:32,260 --> 00:06:29,300
water will go all over the place so what

122
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:32,270
we usually do we take it's ours put some

123
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:35,330
water with some soap then use it in this

124
00:06:41,380 --> 00:06:39,110
way we have a special shampoo that we

125
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:41,390
can put in our hair and they dry in that

126
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:44,240
way we brush our keys and the dream of

127
00:06:49,930 --> 00:06:46,400
every kid we actually swallow everything

128
00:06:56,740 --> 00:06:49,940
so you can do things here and it it's

129
00:06:58,390 --> 00:06:56,750
pretty good i would say let's go to some

130
00:07:00,730 --> 00:06:58,400
of the questions from our viewers all

131
00:07:02,730 --> 00:07:00,740
over the world see the magraph from

132
00:07:05,380 --> 00:07:02,740
Manchester Vermont in the United States

133
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:05,390
he wants to know what it's like sleeping

134
00:07:13,660 --> 00:07:07,490
in space because presumably you need to

135
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:13,670
be strapped in don't you actually it's

136
00:07:19,030 --> 00:07:15,890
very interesting because it forward

137
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:19,040
before that if I would let myself go

138
00:07:23,650 --> 00:07:20,690
like this I would just just fall asleep

139
00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:23,660
and it would be okay I mean the only

140
00:07:27,490 --> 00:07:25,280
problem is that there is always air

141
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:27,500
circulation and this modules because the

142
00:07:32,170 --> 00:07:29,450
air would not secure it by itself so

143
00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:32,180
there is a force circulation has to be

144
00:07:38,140 --> 00:07:35,120
clean and continuously replenished with

145
00:07:41,230 --> 00:07:38,150
the oxygen so this this forced

146
00:07:42,220 --> 00:07:41,240
ventilation drives you in a certain way

147
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:42,230
and if you don't pay attention

148
00:07:47,020 --> 00:07:44,210
eventually you end up with your head

149
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:47,030
stuck in one of the or the grills where

150
00:07:52,810 --> 00:07:50,570
the air is sucked in so what do we do a

151
00:07:54,010 --> 00:07:52,820
night we have a crew quarters which is a

152
00:07:59,260 --> 00:07:54,020
little

153
00:08:02,559 --> 00:07:59,270
can go in and inside there there is a

154
00:08:05,439 --> 00:08:02,569
sleeping bag where we actually go in and

155
00:08:09,730 --> 00:08:05,449
it's just very containment mine it just

156
00:08:12,730 --> 00:08:09,740
fixed at the bottom by the feet and then

157
00:08:14,290 --> 00:08:12,740
I'm floating around so I I find myself a

158
00:08:16,330 --> 00:08:14,300
wake up in the morning and I'm and all

159
00:08:23,129 --> 00:08:16,340
sorts of weird position but I have to

160
00:08:28,540 --> 00:08:25,990
I'll take your word for it this bill

161
00:08:30,850 --> 00:08:28,550
russell from London says how does your

162
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:30,860
body clock adapt to orbiting the earth

163
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:33,409
so rapidly do you suffer from space lag

164
00:08:38,350 --> 00:08:35,930
does this disrupt your sleeping and

165
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:38,360
other functions as well and one question

166
00:08:46,139 --> 00:08:40,370
that struck up what time is it out there

167
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:48,490
this is an interesting question coming

168
00:08:55,420 --> 00:08:52,730
from UK because we actually use gmt time

169
00:08:59,170 --> 00:08:55,430
so the current time now it's one

170
00:09:02,650 --> 00:08:59,180
actually to 19 and this is the time we

171
00:09:04,930 --> 00:09:02,660
use we as we are a little bit shifted

172
00:09:06,579 --> 00:09:04,940
towards the moscow time so we do things

173
00:09:08,319 --> 00:09:06,589
a little bit earlier than we would be

174
00:09:10,650 --> 00:09:08,329
doing them if it would be in London but

175
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:10,660
the time is actually the London time and

176
00:09:17,230 --> 00:09:13,370
it's true we are rotating around Earth

177
00:09:20,530 --> 00:09:17,240
so fast that every every 40 minutes we

178
00:09:23,290 --> 00:09:20,540
have a sunrise of the sunset so like 16

179
00:09:24,910 --> 00:09:23,300
sunrises or sunsets birthday and if you

180
00:09:26,889 --> 00:09:24,920
would be looking outside the window will

181
00:09:29,860 --> 00:09:26,899
get totally confused but we actually

182
00:09:32,199 --> 00:09:29,870
think our clock according to our body

183
00:09:35,230 --> 00:09:32,209
clock according to the working day so we

184
00:09:37,930 --> 00:09:35,240
try to go to bed around 10-11 midnight

185
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:37,940
wake up around six and then we have the

186
00:09:43,569 --> 00:09:40,930
working day it's still a little bit

187
00:09:45,460 --> 00:09:43,579
strange we're in the middle of the day I

188
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:45,470
look at the map and by the way will be

189
00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:48,410
over exactly above the London vertical

190
00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:51,680
in 15 minutes I would go I will go there

191
00:09:55,750 --> 00:09:53,870
and look at that is pitch dark at on

192
00:09:58,300 --> 00:09:55,760
earth and it's the middle of the day or

193
00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:58,310
time to go to bed for me and I go take a

194
00:10:03,550 --> 00:09:59,920
look at the window and it's sunny

195
00:10:05,230 --> 00:10:03,560
somewhere so it's a little bit shocking

196
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:05,240
at the beginning but the body gets

197
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:14,050
how are you coping with life with your

198
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:16,010
fellow astronauts I mean how do you

199
00:10:28,329 --> 00:10:19,970
resolve maybe problems that arise over a

200
00:10:30,070 --> 00:10:28,339
six-month period well we we get up here

201
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:30,080
as a crew and there are six people on

202
00:10:35,530 --> 00:10:31,760
board of the space station right now and

203
00:10:39,460 --> 00:10:35,540
we know each other very well we have

204
00:10:41,380 --> 00:10:39,470
been training for at least two years if

205
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:41,390
not more in the case of my fellow

206
00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:46,250
American astronauts and we do have a way

207
00:10:51,790 --> 00:10:49,760
to address the issue that may pop up we

208
00:10:54,130 --> 00:10:51,800
have what is called crew resource

209
00:10:57,130 --> 00:10:54,140
management so we talked with bring

210
00:10:59,860 --> 00:10:57,140
forward things and everything is going

211
00:11:02,530 --> 00:10:59,870
really good so far we had absolutely no

212
00:11:05,410 --> 00:11:02,540
problems everybody knows what are their

213
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:05,420
roles and we try to establish rules like

214
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:07,970
you don't pull out something and leave

215
00:11:15,070 --> 00:11:12,650
it there I mean try to clean up after

216
00:11:21,970 --> 00:11:15,080
yourself things like this and so far

217
00:11:23,620 --> 00:11:21,980
absolutely no problem okay another

218
00:11:25,870 --> 00:11:23,630
question just about space and

219
00:11:27,550 --> 00:11:25,880
exploration Christian Reyes from

220
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:27,560
pittsburgh pennsylvania united states

221
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:29,450
can you see lots of stars from the space

222
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:31,610
station or does the light reflected from

223
00:11:40,210 --> 00:11:38,810
the earth lock them out that's an

224
00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:40,220
interesting question coming from

225
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:42,560
Christian there actually yes we can see

226
00:11:48,730 --> 00:11:46,610
the stars and at the interesting thing

227
00:11:51,550 --> 00:11:48,740
though is that our cupola which is our

228
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:51,560
our view down on earth it's

229
00:11:55,780 --> 00:11:53,390
perpendicular he usually is

230
00:11:57,819 --> 00:11:55,790
perpendicular down to earth so we always

231
00:12:01,120 --> 00:11:57,829
see the earth with parts of the sky

232
00:12:05,829 --> 00:12:01,130
around and and you can actually see the

233
00:12:08,410 --> 00:12:05,839
stars pretty well at night but but I

234
00:12:12,340 --> 00:12:08,420
would say they're not really more more

235
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:12,350
visible than then down from Earth Exeter

236
00:12:16,170 --> 00:12:13,970
of course you have to be outside of a

237
00:12:18,650 --> 00:12:16,180
city I mean they're a little bit clearer

238
00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:18,660
you can see all of them

239
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:21,649
you can see the Milky Way very nicely

240
00:12:25,610 --> 00:12:23,850
but they are not close that people think

241
00:12:27,530 --> 00:12:25,620
that we are close to them we see better

242
00:12:29,030 --> 00:12:27,540
they are actually at the same distance

243
00:12:36,079 --> 00:12:29,040
as they Eiffel we're through well on

244
00:12:37,999 --> 00:12:36,089
earth what about weather systems la

245
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:38,009
ninia the terrible flooding that we've

246
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:41,850
seen not only in Australia Brazil how

247
00:12:49,939 --> 00:12:44,250
evidence is that from where you are in

248
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:49,949
terms of cloud formation actually this

249
00:12:53,449 --> 00:12:52,050
is an interesting to me because the

250
00:12:55,340 --> 00:12:53,459
first time I came in space and I look

251
00:12:57,769 --> 00:12:55,350
outside the window I figured out that

252
00:13:01,610 --> 00:12:57,779
there are a lot of clouds over earth i

253
00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:01,620
mean i would i would guess that sixty

254
00:13:07,490 --> 00:13:04,110
seventy percent of the earth's surface

255
00:13:11,090 --> 00:13:07,500
is covered by clouds and and so it looks

256
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:11,100
very i mean this this clear skies that

257
00:13:15,740 --> 00:13:13,529
we see from from Earth sometimes for

258
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:15,750
days here do not exist because there is

259
00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:19,529
always a cloud there and and so it looks

260
00:13:25,550 --> 00:13:22,769
that this atmospheric phenomena are

261
00:13:28,249 --> 00:13:25,560
always there and and it's very difficult

262
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:28,259
to actually see down and at least for me

263
00:13:33,410 --> 00:13:30,930
I get the train I maybe can do that but

264
00:13:35,809 --> 00:13:33,420
for me I looking down like you I cannot

265
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:35,819
figure out there is anything specific

266
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:39,329
different in any location we are still

267
00:13:45,439 --> 00:13:42,930
trying to use our lenses to focus down

268
00:13:47,780 --> 00:13:45,449
in the air and Australia and Brazil and

269
00:13:49,939 --> 00:13:47,790
even in Europe with a lot of snow we are

270
00:13:52,249 --> 00:13:49,949
trying to see if we can pinpoint some of

271
00:14:00,019 --> 00:13:52,259
this places but so far I I personally

272
00:14:03,079 --> 00:14:00,029
had no luck ok we have Pete chu from

273
00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:03,089
Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia my question is

274
00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:06,240
as one of the few chosen who's made it

275
00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:09,120
outside the Earth's atmosphere what is

276
00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:12,240
the the moral and emotional pull that

277
00:14:15,379 --> 00:14:13,920
may come to you as you look back to the

278
00:14:21,570 --> 00:14:15,389
earth through the windows of the

279
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:26,250
well a couple of couple of things first

280
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:28,210
of all it it's amazing here from Earth

281
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:30,730
that you really don't see any boundary

282
00:14:36,180 --> 00:14:33,760
anything I mean it's earth and and and

283
00:14:39,410 --> 00:14:36,190
it shows that we are all together in

284
00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:39,420
this as an the earth is our home our

285
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:42,880
environment so we really need to start

286
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:45,130
thinking in terms of humanity all

287
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:47,110
together instead of a little countries

288
00:14:52,590 --> 00:14:50,770
kind of fighting each other and by the

289
00:14:54,750 --> 00:14:52,600
way we are all close together all this

290
00:14:58,590 --> 00:14:54,760
thing from up here and the other thing

291
00:15:00,810 --> 00:14:58,600
is that I always especially do in sunset

292
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:00,820
or sunrise I see the atmosphere being

293
00:15:05,660 --> 00:15:03,910
illuminated by the Sun and I you can see

294
00:15:09,810 --> 00:15:05,670
I can see how the atmosphere is so thin

295
00:15:12,390 --> 00:15:09,820
respect to the earth and and it gives me

296
00:15:14,250 --> 00:15:12,400
an impression of agility and I'm

297
00:15:16,350 --> 00:15:14,260
thinking that we really need to pay

298
00:15:18,450 --> 00:15:16,360
attention and be careful of what we are

299
00:15:21,090 --> 00:15:18,460
doing because because the earth is

300
00:15:27,690 --> 00:15:21,100
fragile it's beautiful but fragile and

301
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:27,700
we need to be careful there one last

302
00:15:33,450 --> 00:15:30,310
question afraid Paulo this is from Buzz

303
00:15:35,430 --> 00:15:33,460
purdy it's a bit more prosaic there's

304
00:15:38,460 --> 00:15:35,440
not much talk about what the atmosphere

305
00:15:41,250 --> 00:15:38,470
and smells alike in space without

306
00:15:43,020 --> 00:15:41,260
gravity particles may settle in

307
00:15:45,540 --> 00:15:43,030
out-of-the-way places and think how

308
00:15:48,450 --> 00:15:45,550
important is hygiene and just as a rider

309
00:15:51,630 --> 00:15:48,460
to that in terms of via the water

310
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:51,640
recycling system is that quite tricky

311
00:15:59,780 --> 00:15:53,170
when you're facing a cup of coffee in

312
00:16:08,070 --> 00:16:05,910
all great questions so then I'm very

313
00:16:10,620 --> 00:16:08,080
very surprised but the atmosphere here

314
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:10,630
it's very good I would even say better

315
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:12,250
than a regular house I mean because

316
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:15,130
normally in the house once in a while

317
00:16:18,570 --> 00:16:16,330
you need to open the window and

318
00:16:20,460 --> 00:16:18,580
exchanged year of obviously here we

319
00:16:23,190 --> 00:16:20,470
cannot open the window and exchange air

320
00:16:26,250 --> 00:16:23,200
but the life-support system is doing

321
00:16:28,820 --> 00:16:26,260
this for us so we continuously have open

322
00:16:31,650 --> 00:16:28,830
windows that suck in the air clean it

323
00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:31,660
replenish it with oxygen and spewed out

324
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:33,670
again and I

325
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:36,730
to really never smell anything nor have

326
00:16:43,230 --> 00:16:40,090
any problem here it's very good if there

327
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:43,240
is a little bit of of something is just

328
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:45,730
because of the fluids come up and make

329
00:16:52,770 --> 00:16:50,170
your head a little bit full and for what

330
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:52,780
consists be a recycling of water I

331
00:16:58,590 --> 00:16:56,110
always tell people on earth that is they

332
00:17:01,620 --> 00:16:58,600
think they're drinking brand new water

333
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:01,630
they are dreaming it's also so that one

334
00:17:05,730 --> 00:17:03,970
is recycled I mean it's not that we have

335
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:05,740
no water we use it and every throw it

336
00:17:12,060 --> 00:17:08,650
away the water that we throw out of the

337
00:17:14,850 --> 00:17:12,070
tap go somewhere it gets clean and comes

338
00:17:17,940 --> 00:17:14,860
back again so maybe in a lower

339
00:17:21,110 --> 00:17:17,950
percentage but we all use recycled water

340
00:17:24,660 --> 00:17:21,120
I have to say that the water here is

341
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:24,670
controlled every every day there are

342
00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:26,050
instrumentation is there are

343
00:17:30,620 --> 00:17:27,520
instrumentation that really make sure

344
00:17:34,860 --> 00:17:30,630
that it's clear free of contaminants and

345
00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:34,870
and actually I'm afraid that I'm

346
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:37,390
drinking much better water up here than

347
00:17:46,530 --> 00:17:44,770
what I was drinking back at home well

348
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:46,540
Paolo Paolo Nespoli it has been

349
00:17:50,970 --> 00:17:48,370
fascinating speaking to you thank you

350
00:17:56,310 --> 00:17:50,980
very much indeed paolo nespoli on the

351
00:17:58,140 --> 00:17:56,320
international space station do you think

352
00:18:00,990 --> 00:17:58,150
it's a pleasure to have you up here on

353
00:18:02,910 --> 00:18:01,000
both of the station we will come back

354
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:02,920
again we will let you look outside the

355
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:06,090
window enjoy this magnificent view and

356
00:18:11,610 --> 00:18:09,130
I'm looking forward for in the future

357
00:18:20,060 --> 00:18:11,620
everybody to be able to come up here

358
00:18:27,630 --> 00:18:23,040
station this is Houston ACR thank you

359
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:27,640
that concludes the event Thank You BBC

360
00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:30,010
world news station yesterday I thank you
