[Music]

hi i'm allison pope uh seventh grade

9
00:00:30,090 --> 00:00:28,640
patent middle school and how long do you

10
00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:30,100
have to train to be an astronaut

11
00:00:35,750 --> 00:00:33,760
[Music]

12
00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:35,760
hi allison well that's uh that's a good

13
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:37,840
question um

14
00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:39,520
you know at nasa

15
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:41,360
we train for

16
00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:43,520
several years before you could

17
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:46,160
fly in space for the uh the first time

18
00:00:49,990 --> 00:00:47,440
at uh

19
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:50,000
you when i was a new astronaut from the

20
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,360
time i started until i flew in space was

21
00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:55,680
about three and a half years some

22
00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:58,640
some people uh and it just depends on

23
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:00,800
luck mostly but it takes a little bit

24
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:02,640
longer but i like to think i've been

25
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:04,320
training for this job since i was in

26
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:07,680
kindergarten so a lot of school a lot of

27
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,320
uh different types of training before i

28
00:01:15,109 --> 00:01:12,400
got to nasa and

29
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:15,119
a lot of training even even today even

30
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:16,400
when we're living aboard the space

31
00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:26,390
hi i'm sarah mckay i'm in seventh grade

32
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:27,920
from denial middle school and i wanted

33
00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:29,600
to ask what's the toughest part of

34
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:38,630
well i would say that sometimes we have

35
00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:41,040
a hard jobs and we do our best but we

36
00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:44,000
still make mistakes and yet your job is

37
00:01:48,069 --> 00:01:46,159
to keep going and just do your best the

38
00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:48,079
next time and for me that's sometimes a

39
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:51,200
hard thing and uh and so i just work at

40
00:01:55,130 --> 00:02:00,389
[Music]

41
00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:02,389
this is evelyn mendoza from washer

42
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:05,200
elementary second grade and her question

43
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:06,240
is

44
00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:08,640
how

45
00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:10,879
difficult

46
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:12,400
is

47
00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:13,440
it

48
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:23,750
well evelyn that's also a very good

49
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:26,239
question and um

50
00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:28,239
you know that's interesting when i flew

51
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:30,000
on the space shuttle

52
00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:32,080
and i was up here for just a short time

53
00:02:37,509 --> 00:02:34,879
it was very very hard to sleep

54
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:37,519
but now that i've been here a long time

55
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:39,440
it's pretty easy to sleep i actually

56
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:42,000
sleep pretty well in space

57
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:43,440
um

58
00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:44,720
floating

59
00:02:47,589 --> 00:02:46,720
but i still look forward to sleeping in

60
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:47,599
a bed

61
00:03:01,910 --> 00:02:57,190
hi my name is christian

62
00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:01,920
second grade and

63
00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:10,470
my question is is it hard to swallow in

64
00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:19,670
well i was hoping that somebody would

65
00:03:24,309 --> 00:03:22,400
ask about food in space swallowing is

66
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:24,319
actually no problem and it doesn't feel

67
00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:26,560
any different but i will say that eating

68
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:28,799
can be challenging we have food a lot of

69
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:31,200
it is sort of dehydrated food that we

70
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:33,440
put water into and it becomes food that

71
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:37,440
we can um we can chew up and swallow but

72
00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:38,959
some of it some of the things we bring

73
00:03:42,869 --> 00:03:40,640
from home are just like things that you

74
00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:42,879
might like like i like

75
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:44,799
little cranberries dried cranberries and

76
00:03:48,789 --> 00:03:46,720
i like jelly beans but then how to eat

77
00:03:50,789 --> 00:03:48,799
these in space this

78
00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:50,799
is truly challenging because as soon as

79
00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:52,480
i open this bag

80
00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:54,159
all of these are going to want to come

81
00:03:57,990 --> 00:03:56,640
out and so i'm going to have to have

82
00:04:02,470 --> 00:03:58,000
just a couple

83
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,710
and then we have to find them

84
00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:07,910
and i

85
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:09,519
i found that the only way to really do

86
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:11,840
this is first of all to be careful

87
00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:13,200
and second of all you sort of shoot them

88
00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:15,200
into your mouth

89
00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:16,560
like that and sometimes we chew with our

90
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:29,909
my name is emerson girl i'm in first

91
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:31,040
grade

92
00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:34,240
and go to washer elementary what can you

93
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:44,469
well when we look out the window emerson

94
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:45,840
um

95
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:47,600
the thing that we see and notice the

96
00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:50,320
most is planet earth uh some of our best

97
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:52,639
windows face the earth

98
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:54,000
and it's a

99
00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:55,360
very

100
00:05:03,110 --> 00:05:00,080
what we look at the most

101
00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:03,120
from the window but we can also see uh

102
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:05,520
see stars if we're on the dark side of

103
00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:08,160
of earth and planets

104
00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:10,479
and we can see of course the sun and the

105
00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:11,440
moon

106
00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:13,759
and the uh blackness of space we can see

107
00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:15,600
the atmosphere of earth which is very

108
00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:17,440
noticeable

109
00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:19,759
and uh you know sometimes we could see

110
00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:23,199
uh shooting stars or or other satellites

111
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:24,880
although those are really really hard to

112
00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:33,830
hi i'm laura denny does everyone

113
00:05:38,090 --> 00:05:36,960
get together for meals or hang out

114
00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:38,100
during free time

115
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:44,950
laura there are six of us here on the

116
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:46,320
space station

117
00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:49,440
and we have two americans one italian

118
00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:52,240
and three russians when we have two

119
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:53,360
kitchens

120
00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:55,360
two bathrooms and everybody has a place

121
00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:56,400
to sleep

122
00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:58,560
and at meal time i would say at least a

123
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:00,479
few of us always try to get together

124
00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:02,639
although not all six every day just

125
00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:04,560
because we all have different schedules

126
00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:06,160
all have different jobs that we have to

127
00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:08,800
do throughout the day and even sometimes

128
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:10,720
almost past dinner time but we try to

129
00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:12,960
all six get together i would say about

130
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:15,120
at least once a week maybe more often

131
00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:17,280
and just talk about our days and how

132
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:19,280
things are going and and what exciting

133
00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:20,880
things are happening for example our

134
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:22,240
russian partners are going on a

135
00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:24,240
spacewalk on friday we can't wait to

and did you celebrate with cake

140
00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:42,160

parties uh when it's somebody's birthday

143
00:06:50,629 --> 00:06:48,800
and you know we certainly celebrate

144
00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:50,639
other holidays here

145
00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:52,400
as far as the cake

146
00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:54,960
there hasn't been a cake

147
00:06:59,029 --> 00:06:57,199
since uh i've been up here

148
00:07:00,150 --> 00:06:59,039
we certainly have some desserts and we

149
00:07:01,749 --> 00:07:00,160
have uh

150
00:07:03,830 --> 00:07:01,759
these little brownies that you might see

151
00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:03,840
in your school lunch room

152
00:07:08,309 --> 00:07:05,759
called uh well i'm not gonna say their

153
00:07:09,189 --> 00:07:08,319
name because i'm not allowed but uh

154
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:09,199
um

155
00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:10,400
we uh

156
00:07:14,629 --> 00:07:12,560
we don't uh have cake like you would

157
00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:14,639
normally um

158
00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:22,070
my name is kevin chang and what has been

159
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:24,240
your most proudest or most fun moment so

160
00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:33,909
well most fun is actually waking up

161
00:07:38,309 --> 00:07:36,080
every single morning

162
00:07:40,629 --> 00:07:38,319
and realizing that i am still here on

163
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:40,639
the space station i mean i grew up as a

164
00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:43,039
scientist and then i was really excited

165
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:44,720
about trying to be an astronaut became

166
00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:46,960
an astronaut but still part of you just

167
00:07:50,390 --> 00:07:48,400
doesn't believe that you'd really get to

168
00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:50,400
live in space and every morning when i

169
00:07:55,029 --> 00:07:52,960
wake up i'm floating i don't know which

170
00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:55,039
way is up or down i have to figure out

171
00:07:59,909 --> 00:07:57,280
like where is the door of my little crew

172
00:08:02,150 --> 00:07:59,919
quarters and i'm just so excited to

173
00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:02,160
float around here so that's the most fun

174
00:08:06,469 --> 00:08:04,319
and you know the most proud it's

175
00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:06,479
actually kind of hard work up here and

176
00:08:09,749 --> 00:08:08,160
often it takes me a long time to do it

177
00:08:11,589 --> 00:08:09,759
and so when i'm actually doing all my

178
00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:11,599
work and i do it all right and i'm on

179
00:08:19,740 --> 00:08:18,390
my name is nicholas howard what job

180
00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:19,750
takes up most of your day

181
00:08:28,390 --> 00:08:26,390
um

182
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:28,400
that's a hard question to answer because

183
00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:30,160
our days are uh

184
00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:32,159
are very uh

185
00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:33,200
different

186
00:08:36,790 --> 00:08:35,839
no no two days up here are alike

187
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:36,800
um

188
00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:38,880
you know we certainly spend a lot of

189
00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:40,479
time on

190
00:08:44,470 --> 00:08:42,560
maintenance of the station we spent a

191
00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:44,480
lot of time doing science

192
00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:47,440
a lot of time doing housekeeping kind of

193
00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:50,480
tasks other you know operational things

194
00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:53,200
maybe flying the robot arm

195
00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:56,640
or um you know in some cases supporting

196
00:09:01,590 --> 00:08:59,279
uh spacewalks or maybe doing spacewalks

197
00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:01,600
today most of my day is spent uh doing a

198
00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:04,720
science experiment that is a fluid

199
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:06,800
uh physics experiment and

200
00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:10,800
between that and the exercise i'm doing

201
00:09:20,550 --> 00:09:18,230
hello my name is

202
00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:20,560
kylie lynn thorkelson

203
00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:22,399
my question is what can you see when you

204
00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:36,790
when i look out there i see i see the

205
00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:39,519
stars and they look much like the stars

206
00:09:43,269 --> 00:09:41,600
that you would see i know out there in

207
00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:43,279
oregon it's really nice and dark when

208
00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:45,120
you're not right near the city and you

209
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:48,240
can see a lot of stars to me up here in

210
00:09:52,870 --> 00:09:51,040
in space i feel like uh i can they look

211
00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:52,880
a little deeper to me instead of just

212
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:55,200
one flat black sky with stars in it i

213
00:09:59,269 --> 00:09:57,440
almost i feel like it has some depth and

214
00:10:00,790 --> 00:09:59,279
i feel like it's my neighborhood that i

215
00:10:02,389 --> 00:10:00,800
live in just like you live in a

216
00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:02,399
neighborhood down there on earth i feel

217
00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:03,760
like i'm learning my way around the

218
00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:10,790
hi i'm amanda sheller i'm in ninth grade

219
00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:12,880
and i participate in the esa program

220
00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:14,880
through mcminnville high school and my

221
00:10:19,670 --> 00:10:17,040
question is do you have a lot of room on

222
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:19,680
the iss especially personal space like

223
00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:20,450
for sleeping

224
00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:28,280
um the space station is pretty big

225
00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:29,680
[Music]

226
00:10:33,350 --> 00:10:30,839
you know there's

227
00:10:35,030 --> 00:10:33,360
uh geez i don't know how many modules

228
00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:35,040
there are now they're probably you know

229
00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:37,360
at least 10 maybe

230
00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:40,000
pressurized modules on board the space

231
00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:41,040
station

232
00:10:43,670 --> 00:10:41,839
and

233
00:10:46,389 --> 00:10:43,680
so we have about as much room as you

234
00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:46,399
might have in let's say a large house

235
00:10:50,389 --> 00:10:48,640
maybe a four bedroom house

236
00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:50,399
you know some of that space is taken up

237
00:10:54,630 --> 00:10:52,880
with equipment because imagine your

238
00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:54,640
house if you could never leave or you

239
00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:56,800
couldn't leave for six months how much

240
00:11:02,389 --> 00:10:59,279
stuff you would need in it

241
00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:02,399
as far as personal space we each have

242
00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:04,480
what's called a crew quarters

243
00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:07,040
which is where we sleep it's uh you know

244
00:11:11,509 --> 00:11:08,560
where we

245
00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:11,519
might uh do email um

246
00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:12,480
or

247
00:11:18,150 --> 00:11:15,600
you know maybe watch a movie um and that

248
00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:18,160
space is uh is fairly small it's

249
00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:20,399
probably about the size of like a you

250
00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:22,640
know a small bathroom

251
00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:26,240
in a in a house or maybe i i i hate to

252
00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:28,720
use the analogy of a phone booth because

253
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:30,800
they don't really exist anymore but it's

254
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:33,120
uh maybe a little bit bigger than than

255
00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:35,120
if you can remember what a uh

256
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:37,839
or seen in movies what an old telephone

257
00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:44,870
hi my name is nathan losman and my

258
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:47,120
question is with so many nations working

259
00:11:57,269 --> 00:11:49,360
on the international space station is it

260
00:12:01,030 --> 00:11:59,030
i wouldn't say it's challenging for me

261
00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:01,040
it's one of the parts that i enjoy the

262
00:12:05,590 --> 00:12:03,600
most um being up here in space is very

263
00:12:07,670 --> 00:12:05,600
special and i think it's something that

264
00:12:09,509 --> 00:12:07,680
you know it space belongs to the whole

265
00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:09,519
earth not just any one country so i'm

266
00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:11,360
proud to be up here with representatives

267
00:12:15,750 --> 00:12:13,519
from many different countries i think

268
00:12:18,150 --> 00:12:15,760
languages um and under understanding

269
00:12:20,550 --> 00:12:18,160
different languages can be very helpful

270
00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:20,560
and so we try to we

271
00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:23,600
we all train in russia because we

272
00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:25,040
launched the space station on the

273
00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:27,440
russian soyuz and it's always our rescue

274
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:30,079
vehicle if we need it and so we as

275
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:32,480
americans and europeans and japanese

276
00:12:36,629 --> 00:12:34,560
learn russian and the russians learn

277
00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:36,639
english and we have paolo with us who's

278
00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:38,480
from italy so we're we're working on a

279
00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:40,800
little bit of italian but so far i think

280
00:12:50,069 --> 00:12:48,150
hi my name is hannah lang and my

281
00:12:52,010 --> 00:12:50,079
question is what is the best part about

282
00:13:01,910 --> 00:12:52,020
being in microgravity

283
00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:01,920
you know you would think it'd be

284
00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:04,320
floating around and that's that's fun

285
00:13:10,069 --> 00:13:07,120
but you know i associate

286
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:10,079
being in microgravity as as you know

287
00:13:15,509 --> 00:13:13,519
being part of this larger mission and uh

288
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:15,519
for me that's what the best part is is

289
00:13:19,750 --> 00:13:17,920
about being part of a team and working

290
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:19,760
at something that's uh really really

291
00:13:22,629 --> 00:13:20,560
hard

292
00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:22,639
and then you know doing well at it and

293
00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:23,760
being

294
00:13:27,829 --> 00:13:25,760
uh you know proud of yourself for your

295
00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:27,839
accomplishments and i tell kids you know

296
00:13:30,550 --> 00:13:29,600
that's something that you guys can do

297
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:30,560
too

298
00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:32,800
you know in your schoolwork and other

299
00:13:36,629 --> 00:13:34,639
activities is work hard at them and then

300
00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:36,639
be proud of yourselves when uh when you

301
00:13:45,509 --> 00:13:43,829
hi my name is seth schulbrock and

302
00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:45,519
my question is what do you do for

303
00:13:57,189 --> 00:13:54,870
well all of us do a lot of

304
00:13:58,550 --> 00:13:57,199
running bicycling and weightlifting

305
00:14:03,030 --> 00:13:58,560
every day

306
00:14:05,189 --> 00:14:03,040
we do that mostly because we don't walk

307
00:14:07,269 --> 00:14:05,199
around on our legs and so we don't um

308
00:14:09,189 --> 00:14:07,279
our bones don't maintain themselves in

309
00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:09,199
fact we lose bone just like some older

310
00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:11,760
people do so we exercise quite a bit and

311
00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:13,440
that's that's some recreation and then i

312
00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:15,040
think everybody it's just like on earth

313
00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:16,560
everybody has their own particular

314
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:18,000
things that they do

315
00:14:21,910 --> 00:14:20,000
um i'm still pretty new up here so i

316
00:14:23,590 --> 00:14:21,920
haven't had a lot of free time yet but i

317
00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:23,600
down on the earth when i have some free

318
00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:26,240
time i like to be with my family can't

319
00:14:31,189 --> 00:14:28,399
do that up here so i also like to play

320
00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:31,199
the flute i'm a musician so i do just a

321
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:33,360
little bit of that up here and i think a

322
00:14:37,590 --> 00:14:35,760
lot of us liked oh

323
00:14:39,430 --> 00:14:37,600
here's my flute

324
00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:39,440
i keep it i keep it out here it gets to

325
00:14:44,389 --> 00:14:40,800
float around

326
00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:44,399
and a lot of us like to like to read and

327
00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:46,480
watch tv and movies just like down there

328
00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:53,509
hey my name is kai rasmussen and my

329
00:15:02,629 --> 00:14:55,360
question is do you have internet access

330
00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:06,150
yeah we uh we do actually have the uh an

331
00:15:11,189 --> 00:15:08,320
internet that is uh

332
00:15:13,750 --> 00:15:11,199
you know connected real time although

333
00:15:15,189 --> 00:15:13,760
it isn't available all the time because

334
00:15:16,230 --> 00:15:15,199
of the satellite coverage and it's

335
00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:16,240
somewhat

336
00:15:22,069 --> 00:15:18,560
but

337
00:15:24,629 --> 00:15:22,079
you know at certain times it is usable

338
00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:24,639
and it's useful and it's a really nice

339
00:15:30,629 --> 00:15:27,600
capability to have on board

340
00:15:33,749 --> 00:15:30,639
most of the stuff we do though in that

341
00:15:36,790 --> 00:15:33,759
area like social network

342
00:15:38,629 --> 00:15:36,800
networking email those kind of things

343
00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:38,639
we don't do it on the real

344
00:15:43,430 --> 00:15:41,279
time connected internet because it's not

345
00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:43,440
it's not quite as reliable what we do is

346
00:15:47,430 --> 00:15:45,680
we kind of synchronize our mail with the

347
00:15:48,230 --> 00:15:47,440
ground at certain times throughout the

348
00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:48,240
day

349
00:15:52,150 --> 00:15:50,160
and uh

350
00:15:54,550 --> 00:15:52,160
but it works well for staying connected

351
00:15:55,590 --> 00:15:54,560
with uh people on on the earth you'll

352
00:15:57,910 --> 00:15:55,600
notice

353
00:16:00,310 --> 00:15:57,920
you may know a lot of astronauts do uh

354
00:16:02,150 --> 00:16:00,320
twitter and uh you know nasa has a

355
00:16:04,870 --> 00:16:02,160
facebook account for the international

356
00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:04,880
space station so we do some uh you know

357
00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:12,470
my name is lucas simpson and can you

358
00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:20,470
you know every time i look it down at

359
00:16:24,470 --> 00:16:22,399
the earth lucas it looks uh different it

360
00:16:25,590 --> 00:16:24,480
depends on the weather it depends on the

361
00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:25,600
light

362
00:16:29,509 --> 00:16:27,680
we can see you know certainly all the

363
00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:29,519
snow that's been happening in the in the

364
00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:31,440
us in the past few weeks in fact it's

365
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:33,040
nice for me i'm always looking for

366
00:16:38,550 --> 00:16:35,680
portland because my stepmom and my and

367
00:16:40,150 --> 00:16:38,560
my brothers live in portland and up in

368
00:16:41,749 --> 00:16:40,160
vancouver washington in fact i've been

369
00:16:43,910 --> 00:16:41,759
to your great museum right there in

370
00:16:45,509 --> 00:16:43,920
mcminnville so i'm uh glad to be

371
00:16:46,790 --> 00:16:45,519
thinking about where you are

372
00:16:48,829 --> 00:16:46,800
unfortunately i keep trying to take a

373
00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:48,839
picture and it's often cloudy there in

374
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:51,600
mcminnville um but we do definitely see

375
00:16:56,550 --> 00:16:53,920
lots of changes on the earth and in fact

376
00:16:58,470 --> 00:16:56,560
we get to be the representative of many

377
00:17:00,550 --> 00:16:58,480
scientists up here and take pictures of

378
00:17:02,710 --> 00:17:00,560
the earth we take hundreds and hundreds

379
00:17:04,789 --> 00:17:02,720
of pictures of the earth every week just

380
00:17:05,669 --> 00:17:04,799
to diagnose you know how is the earth

381
00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:05,679
doing

382
00:17:12,789 --> 00:17:11,829
hi my name is danielle miller and i was

383
00:17:18,390 --> 00:17:12,799
wondering what are some of the

384
00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:20,230
well like i said earlier i was working

385
00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:23,839
on a uh a fluid uh physics experiment

386
00:17:28,870 --> 00:17:25,280
today

387
00:17:30,870 --> 00:17:28,880
called marangoni and it's

388
00:17:33,270 --> 00:17:30,880
it's trying to understand how fluids

389
00:17:36,150 --> 00:17:33,280
behave in in microgravity because when

390
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:36,160
you take gravity away from um from

391
00:17:41,029 --> 00:17:38,000
you know the the problem you're trying

392
00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:41,039
to understand it does uh it allows you

393
00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:41,760
to

394
00:17:44,150 --> 00:17:43,280
understand things better and we have a

395
00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:44,160
unique

396
00:17:47,590 --> 00:17:46,400
environment here to do that

397
00:17:49,830 --> 00:17:47,600
and

398
00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:49,840
katie's demonstrating to you here with

399
00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:51,760
this bag of water

400
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:53,760
how fluids behave a little bit

401
00:17:56,950 --> 00:17:55,200
differently than they do on earth by

402
00:18:02,870 --> 00:17:56,960
making this

403
00:18:05,830 --> 00:18:04,150
i think though

404
00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:05,840
you know what one thing that interests

405
00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:07,919
me about the space station is the whole

406
00:18:14,549 --> 00:18:11,840
thing in itself is an experiment um

407
00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:14,559
and uh you know it's an experiment in

408
00:18:19,190 --> 00:18:17,520
how to make systems that allow people to

409
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:19,200
stay alive for

410
00:18:24,230 --> 00:18:21,760
for uh you know long periods of time in

411
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:24,240
space is an experiment on the humans to

412
00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:26,240
to understand how they do

413
00:18:30,789 --> 00:18:28,720
do in space and it's also you know

414
00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:30,799
learning things that will uh you know

415
00:18:41,270 --> 00:18:32,559
enhance our lives on earth so the whole

416
00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:43,669
well folks we lost satellite feed that's

417
00:18:48,070 --> 00:18:46,640
uh pretty much all right thank you guys

418
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:48,080
appreciate talking to you please come

419
00:18:54,150 --> 00:18:50,640
see us again here in mackin thanks a lot

420
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:55,590
yeah it was great talking to you guys

421
00:19:07,590 --> 00:18:57,280
too and uh thanks for all the great

422
00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:09,350
station this is houston acr that

423
00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:12,000
concludes the event thank you

424
00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:14,320
thank you evergreen aviation and space
