00:03:09,830 you know seriously we live to look out 54 00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:12,480 the windows because it is simply amazing 55 00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:15,040 to look out and you know every day is 56 00:03:18,229 --> 00:03:16,480 different looking down at the earth it 57 00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:18,239 depends on the weather it depends on the 58 00:03:22,229 --> 00:03:20,480 lighting i'm learning geography hand 59 00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:22,239 over foot and so we live to look out the 60 00:03:25,990 --> 00:03:23,840 window but i will say that most of our 61 00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:26,000 work is inside you know here in the 62 00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:28,720 space station i'm in the japanese the 63 00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:30,959 japanese part of the space station it's 64 00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:32,159 the module that they built for 65 00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:34,640 experiments we have a european module we 66 00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:37,440 have a russian section at uh uh united 67 00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:39,040 states section the canadians built the 68 00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:42,080 arm it's a big big international venture 69 00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:44,640 and every day um actually the night the 70 00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:46,000 the night the day begins the night 71 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:47,519 before because i look at the schedule 72 00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:50,080 see what i'm going to do and i study up 73 00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:52,400 and uh and just try to understand what 74 00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:53,920 experiments i'm going to do and i can 75 00:04:02,390 --> 00:03:55,360 actually show you one of them one of 76 00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:03,670 wow 77 00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:09,110 so before i before i show you this let 78 00:04:14,789 --> 00:04:11,760 me just show you something else 79 00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:17,590 it's going to come back to me okay 80 00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:19,120 i want to show i want to show you why we 81 00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:22,000 do these experiments and that is because 82 00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:24,720 this is a bag of water okay and i'm 83 00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:27,440 squeezing squeezing 84 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:43,110 ah 85 00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:44,710 so it's a brand new bag of water and so 86 00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:46,240 my straw is a little crimped there i'm 87 00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:48,240 going to come a little closer and you 88 00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:51,199 can see this giant blob of water and 89 00:04:59,590 --> 00:04:53,600 we're getting to see in space what do 90 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:09,270 wow that is amazing that is amazing 91 00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:12,629 so i'm curious because i know you have 92 00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:14,639 kids at home how do you stay close to 93 00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:27,430 amazing yeah i'm just curious how you 94 00:05:34,469 --> 00:05:28,960 stay close to your kids while you're in 95 00:05:37,749 --> 00:05:36,230 well one of the ways that that we stay 96 00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:37,759 close is i try to keep him really 97 00:05:41,990 --> 00:05:39,840 interested in what i'm doing and i'm 98 00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:42,000 shaking up our fluids experiments so you 99 00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:44,400 can kind of see you know what the what a 100 00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:46,320 real experiment looks like and not just 101 00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:48,080 playing with our water drops but 102 00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:50,080 understanding how fluids behave in space 103 00:05:53,909 --> 00:05:52,479 well it has to do with everything we do 104 00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:53,919 at home 105 00:05:57,990 --> 00:05:56,000 and everything that we wear everything 106 00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:58,000 that is in our house that is made with a 107 00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:59,600 process of something flowing through a 108 00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:01,199 pipe we need to understand what liquids 109 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:04,560 do and this experiment actually shows us 110 00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:07,120 how to design fuel tanks for satellites 111 00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:09,360 and you think well gee why would i care 112 00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:11,280 everybody uses a cell phone electronic 113 00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:13,520 devices communication military defense 114 00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:15,440 you name it and it all comes from things 115 00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:20,469 when we talk about i'm trying to keep my 116 00:06:25,749 --> 00:06:22,720 son interested another way i do that is 117 00:06:27,990 --> 00:06:25,759 actually to bring um once one of his 118 00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:28,000 things with me up to space he's a big 119 00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:30,800 fan and so am i of calvin and hobbes 120 00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:31,840 and so 121 00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:33,840 um i've brought a little uh a little 122 00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:36,160 hobbs up in space with me and i bring 123 00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:37,840 hobbs to do experiments and i take 124 00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:39,280 pictures and send them down to the 125 00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:41,280 ground so he understands what i'm doing 126 00:06:47,430 --> 00:06:43,199 every day and i did that while i was 127 00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:49,430 that's well cool 128 00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:52,400 so katie since you've been in space uh 129 00:06:59,029 --> 00:06:56,080 what extra daddy duties has your husband 130 00:07:05,029 --> 00:06:59,039 um had to take on since you're there on 131 00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:05,749 well 132 00:07:10,070 --> 00:07:07,520 you know i think a lot and i really 133 00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:10,080 thank him for for doing all of that and 134 00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:11,759 uh you know i would have to say it's 135 00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:13,840 it's hard for me to to let some of that 136 00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:15,520 go you know everything's not going to be 137 00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:17,759 done maybe the way that you would do it 138 00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:20,240 and yet i know my son is in great hands 139 00:07:25,909 --> 00:07:23,280 he's just a super super dad i think it's 140 00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:25,919 hard for any parent to be a parent alone 141 00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:27,759 i know that um because my husband and i 142 00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:29,280 both commute we have a commuting 143 00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:31,280 marriage we're both single parents in a 144 00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:32,560 certain way 145 00:07:37,029 --> 00:07:35,120 and so uh i think it's really hard for 146 00:07:43,350 --> 00:07:37,039 him just because there's there's nobody 147 00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:45,749 on a somber note uh 148 00:07:48,560 --> 00:08:07,189 oh okay hang on one sec 149 00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:09,189 okay 150 00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:11,759 your commander there in space is the 151 00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:14,080 brother-in-law to congresswoman 152 00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:16,720 gabrielle giffords 153 00:08:20,950 --> 00:08:18,720 what has it been like at the 154 00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:20,960 international space station 155 00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:31,110 you know it's it's hard to be far away 156 00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:33,360 when uh when things are happening down 157 00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:35,839 on earth and i can't speak for scott but 158 00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:38,080 i think something like the tragedy in 159 00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:40,800 tucson at least for me you know it makes 160 00:08:46,230 --> 00:08:43,120 me think how how precious all my 161 00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:46,240 relationships are and and it just made 162 00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:48,160 me want to call you know everybody that 163 00:08:52,790 --> 00:08:49,920 i love and and just make sure that they 164 00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:52,800 knew that i cared about them and 165 00:08:56,949 --> 00:08:55,279 up here you know i think that we're uh 166 00:08:58,710 --> 00:08:56,959 we have a serious job to do and we're 167 00:09:00,230 --> 00:08:58,720 intent on doing our jobs and we try not 168 00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:00,240 to let things get in the way and at the 169 00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:02,640 same time there's a there's a value in 170 00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:05,120 just um you know thinking about what's 171 00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:07,760 going on and and trying to come to terms 172 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:17,430 i'm curious does it get lonely in space 173 00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:19,350 well you know i was very excited about 174 00:09:23,190 --> 00:09:21,360 this interview just because i won't 175 00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:23,200 necessarily say it's lonely up here but 176 00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:25,120 there are not a lot of other women and 177 00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:26,720 so actually the thought of sort of 178 00:09:31,829 --> 00:09:28,320 having coffee with you guys was really 179 00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:31,839 appealing to me in fact i brought mine 180 00:09:40,070 --> 00:09:33,200 you know i'm serious that there's 181 00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:41,430 there's something nice about sitting 182 00:09:45,269 --> 00:09:42,800 around with your girlfriend since saying 183 00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:47,590 yeah yeah i love that i'm curious how 184 00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:49,519 you also prepared to leave for six 185 00:09:59,670 --> 00:09:57,670 well you know i did my best i know i've 186 00:10:01,110 --> 00:09:59,680 left a lot of holes i'm still writing 187 00:10:02,550 --> 00:10:01,120 back and forth with my husband and 188 00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:02,560 making sure he understands how to get my 189 00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:04,399 w-2 and all those kinds of you know 190 00:10:08,710 --> 00:10:06,720 administrative things 191 00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:08,720 you know my my son is had known for a 192 00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:10,720 couple years that i'd be going to the 193 00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:12,640 space station and i tried to make it 194 00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:14,240 really clear when it would happen it 195 00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:16,560 took several years to train i traveled 196 00:10:21,990 --> 00:10:19,760 to japan to europe to russia and around 197 00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:22,000 the us training for really almost three 198 00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:23,760 years to get ready for the mission and 199 00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:26,000 that's actually worse in a way than 200 00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:28,160 being up here they like to say that when 201 00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:29,680 i'm up here at least they know where i 202 00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:32,480 am and in fact they have a application 203 00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:34,320 where a computer program that they look 204 00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:36,399 at and they know exactly where i am and 205 00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:38,480 they go mom you're going over australia 206 00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:40,240 so it's it's pretty fun to be up here 207 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:48,310 what research um are you doing in space 208 00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:57,990 on a day-to-day basis i love to do the 209 00:11:01,990 --> 00:11:00,240 things that i actually get to touch and 210 00:11:04,949 --> 00:11:02,000 move like the experiment that you saw 211 00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:04,959 with the bubbles just now but 212 00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:06,560 some of them aren't as tangible we're 213 00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:08,640 doing some research in osteoporosis 214 00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:10,320 which i think is fascinating and 215 00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:12,959 valuable basically i'm an experiment and 216 00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:15,200 i because we lose bone mass up here 217 00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:17,200 because we don't walk around on our legs 218 00:11:23,590 --> 00:11:20,320 we lose bone at about 10 times the rate 219 00:11:25,430 --> 00:11:23,600 of a 70 year old osteoporotic woman and 220 00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:25,440 so because i don't have some of the 221 00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:27,200 potential complications that somebody 222 00:11:32,069 --> 00:11:29,519 who's 70 might i'm sort of a clean 223 00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:32,079 medical specimen to do some experiments 224 00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:34,320 and so i'm taking some of those drugs 225 00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:36,720 and we're looking at how my bone mass is 226 00:11:41,590 --> 00:11:38,800 changing and we looked at it before i 227 00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:41,600 left while i'm up here and also when i 228 00:11:46,710 --> 00:11:44,240 get home and it'll help us understand a 229 00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:46,720 lot about how osteoporosis the mechanism 230 00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:49,279 of osteoporosis which certainly affects 231 00:12:00,069 --> 00:11:55,269 do the health implications of that scare 232 00:12:04,550 --> 00:12:01,829 i won't say they scare me but i'll tell 233 00:12:07,509 --> 00:12:04,560 you that i take them very very 234 00:12:09,269 --> 00:12:07,519 seriously in that we exercise um 235 00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:09,279 you know about almost two hours a day 236 00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:10,720 which i'll say i'm not disciplined 237 00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:12,880 enough to do down on the earth 238 00:12:16,550 --> 00:12:14,880 but i do it up here because the 239 00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:16,560 implications of not exercising are 240 00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:18,320 really having a tremendous amount of 241 00:12:21,750 --> 00:12:20,480 bone loss and i have a 10 year old and i 242 00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:21,760 figure i still have a lot of running 243 00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:25,360 around to do when i get home 244 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:27,040 katie i wanted to ask you other than 245 00:12:30,710 --> 00:12:28,320 your family 246 00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:30,720 your son what do you as a woman what do 247 00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:42,230 you know i i'm actually so excited about 248 00:12:46,069 --> 00:12:44,079 being here and just living in this 249 00:12:48,629 --> 00:12:46,079 environment and discovering new things 250 00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:48,639 every day in terms of what's delightful 251 00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:50,560 about just being here about moving back 252 00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:54,000 and forth it's it's just really such a 253 00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:55,760 neat place i don't actually miss 254 00:13:00,870 --> 00:12:58,240 anything yet um i certainly miss my 255 00:13:02,629 --> 00:13:00,880 family quite a bit and uh but at the 256 00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:02,639 same time it's not as if i wish to be 257 00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:15,030 katie you mentioned that 258 00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:15,760 you'd 259 00:13:19,430 --> 00:13:17,920 exercise two hours a day but being that 260 00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:19,440 you have no gravity 261 00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:27,509 you know it's a good great question and 262 00:13:30,629 --> 00:13:29,760 uh we have a weightlifting machine which 263 00:13:33,910 --> 00:13:30,639 works 264 00:13:35,829 --> 00:13:33,920 i'm not really lifting weights but i'm 265 00:13:37,430 --> 00:13:35,839 pulling against something that's that's 266 00:13:38,790 --> 00:13:37,440 pulling on a vacuum and so it's really 267 00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:38,800 hard like you know when you're trying to 268 00:13:42,069 --> 00:13:40,800 get a lid off a jar that's got vacuum on 269 00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:42,079 and it's harder than if there was no 270 00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:43,680 vacuum or when you're pulling against 271 00:13:48,069 --> 00:13:45,760 something so that we do weightlifting 272 00:13:50,069 --> 00:13:48,079 and i'll do you know we have a it's like 273 00:13:52,629 --> 00:13:50,079 a gym you know i have a we have a bar i 274 00:13:54,790 --> 00:13:52,639 go up and down and you use my legs i can 275 00:13:56,710 --> 00:13:54,800 do sit-ups all these arm weights we have 276 00:13:58,870 --> 00:13:56,720 a treadmill that i wear a harness and it 277 00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:58,880 holds me down on the treadmill and i 278 00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:00,639 have to say that it was really 279 00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:02,160 interesting 280 00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:04,480 after a few days of not exercising 281 00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:05,760 floating around up here it was 282 00:14:09,750 --> 00:14:07,600 fascinating to suddenly be on the 283 00:14:16,790 --> 00:14:09,760 treadmill standing on your feet and i 284 00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:18,550 what's the first thing you want to do 285 00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:21,519 when you eventually do get home back to 286 00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:29,829 well i'm assuming a shower will be like 287 00:14:33,430 --> 00:14:31,600 right in there i mean i'm actually clean 288 00:14:35,189 --> 00:14:33,440 up here you know my hair is clean and 289 00:14:36,629 --> 00:14:35,199 you know we have we take sponge baths 290 00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:36,639 literally and so you're clean but 291 00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:38,720 there's just nothing about like being 292 00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:41,760 you know actually in a shower i think 293 00:14:44,949 --> 00:14:42,639 um 294 00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:44,959 you know just being on the earth and 295 00:14:48,069 --> 00:14:46,720 walking around on your feet and i think 296 00:14:48,710 --> 00:14:48,079 smelling 297 00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:48,720 and 298 00:14:53,269 --> 00:14:50,720 smelling you know just 299 00:14:55,030 --> 00:14:53,279 the garden and outside and the street 300 00:14:56,710 --> 00:14:55,040 and cars and 301 00:14:59,670 --> 00:14:56,720 that that kind of sense is a little 302 00:15:01,750 --> 00:14:59,680 missing up here and even just listening 303 00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:01,760 to noises that aren't just the home of 304 00:15:05,910 --> 00:15:04,079 the space station and feeling the wind 305 00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:05,920 i'm looking forward to maybe being on a 306 00:15:10,790 --> 00:15:07,760 beach and feeling the wind and looking 307 00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:12,949 as we get ready to say goodbye is there 308 00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:14,560 any message you'd like to send out to 309 00:15:22,310 --> 00:15:16,959 your ten-year-old son or your husband 310 00:15:26,069 --> 00:15:24,310 well you know i miss them so much and i 311 00:15:29,350 --> 00:15:26,079 appreciate i mean it's a lot of work for 312 00:15:31,670 --> 00:15:29,360 them for me to be gone and i'm just 313 00:15:34,470 --> 00:15:31,680 hoping that while i'm up here the things 314 00:15:36,310 --> 00:15:34,480 that i'm doing end up being worth it and 315 00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:36,320 i actually just really think that they 316 00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:40,000 will be what we do here in space somehow 317 00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:42,720 says to kids wow don't you want to be an 318 00:15:46,949 --> 00:15:44,720 astronaut don't you think you could do 319 00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:46,959 this somehow they look at us and they 320 00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:49,040 think they could do this and they're 321 00:15:53,990 --> 00:15:51,920 right and it inspires them to 322 00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:54,000 study hard in school and learn the math 323 00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:56,320 and science that they need to be 324 00:15:59,670 --> 00:15:58,320 part of the future because they are the 325 00:16:01,990 --> 00:15:59,680 future so 326 00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:02,000 it's a long time to be away from family 327 00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:04,160 it's actually a magical place to spend 328 00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:05,759 that time in 329 00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:08,240 and i think that the payoff is is very 330 00:16:12,790 --> 00:16:09,120 big 331 00:16:17,030 --> 00:16:14,629 katie
