20 years and this is my third trip to

16
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:15,600
space i had two space shuttle missions

17
00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:17,600
so a lot of that time is spent on the

18
00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:19,759
ground helping other astronauts get

19
00:01:24,630 --> 00:01:22,240
ready and also helping the program get

20
00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:24,640
ready for missions i've had jobs that

21
00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:27,360
range from trying to design how we're

22
00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:28,960
going to sleep and live on the space

23
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:31,040
station to being the head of the

24
00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:33,040
robotics branch making sure that

25
00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:34,799
astronauts understand how to work the

26
00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:36,960
robotic arm and how to do the tasks we

27
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:46,710
thank you

28
00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:51,590
hi my name is shake and my question is

29
00:01:58,149 --> 00:01:53,360
how do you dispose trash on the space

30
00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:00,149
chick you have an excellent question for

31
00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:03,040
exactly this week it is very difficult

32
00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:05,040
we can't just like in the movies open

33
00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:07,280
the door and throw the trash out or even

34
00:02:12,309 --> 00:02:10,239
take the trash out we have to have a

35
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:12,319
basically a shipped or a spaceship to

36
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:14,560
put it in so we stuff that ship with

37
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:17,360
trash and then it when it reenters the

38
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,840
earth's atmosphere it burns up we have

39
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:21,520
several russian supply vehicles that

40
00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:23,280
come and help us do that they bring

41
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:25,599
supplies they leave with trash they burn

42
00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:28,640
up on their way home and now this week

43
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:31,519
we are loading a really huge japanese

44
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:33,599
supply vehicle that came here with a lot

45
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:35,280
of important supplies for the space

46
00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:37,840
station and now we are taking all of the

47
00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:39,599
packing material that those supplies

48
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:41,920
came with came with and we are packing

49
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:44,080
it into the htv so we are packing

50
00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:45,840
maniacs in fact in back of the camera

51
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:48,400
you can't see but there is just piles of

52
00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:50,720
giant pieces of foam that were shielding

53
00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:51,599
really

54
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:04,869

00:03:29,589 --> 00:03:27,680
don't have to do a lot with my hair

62
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:29,599
while i'm up here because no matter what

64
00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:34,000
exactly what it wants so i wake up in

65
00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:36,799
the morning i go like this

brush my teeth i float out of my cabin

68
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:43,280
and i start reading right away on the

69
00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:44,879
computer about what we're going to do

70
00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:46,799
that day i'll have already seen the plan

71
00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:48,400
from the day before and studied the

72
00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:50,159
things that i need to study for that day

73
00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:51,840
but we always look for last minute

74
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:54,159
updates we talked to houston we talked

75
00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:56,480
to the japanese control center the

76
00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:58,879
european control center and the payload

77
00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:00,799
control center and the russian control

78
00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:02,799
center we all say good morning see if

79
00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:04,319
there's any things that each of us need

80
00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:06,239
to know and then we get to work on our

81
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,710
thank you

82
00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:18,629
hi my name is stephanie and i'm from the

83
00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:20,320
women's academy of excellence my

84
00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:22,240
question is were you ever discouraged

85
00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:24,160
and if so what motivated you to continue

86
00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:31,270
stephanie i really like that question

87
00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:33,440
because a lot of people might think that

88
00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:36,240
if i have this job my whole life

89
00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:37,919
you know life must have been easy and i

90
00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:40,400
always knew what choices to make and i

91
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:43,199
always did well and the fact is it's

92
00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:45,120
just not true you know i'm a real person

93
00:04:48,629 --> 00:04:47,040
that just makes that made the best

94
00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:48,639
decisions that they could at the time

95
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:51,280
you know what college to go to or you

96
00:04:55,749 --> 00:04:53,120
know what kind of job i wanted to have

97
00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:55,759
or even you know what what to study you

98
00:04:59,189 --> 00:04:57,919
just make the best choices that you can

99
00:05:01,590 --> 00:04:59,199
and i will tell you that there are

100
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:01,600
discouraging days you know even here in

101
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:02,560
space

102
00:05:07,189 --> 00:05:04,800
and um the only thing i can you know

103
00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:07,199
advice i can give you that that seems to

104
00:05:12,070 --> 00:05:09,440
work for me is that i think if you're

105
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:12,080
really doing your best that's all anyone

106
00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:13,600
can ask of you

107
00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:16,240
and some days i don't do my best and i

108
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:18,479
have to say you know how could i do this

109
00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:20,800
better and i have to just wake up the

110
00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:23,039
next morning and try again and that

111
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:25,039
means i have to believe in myself

112
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:26,720
sometimes i need a little help doing

113
00:05:31,029 --> 00:05:28,639
that and i have friends

114
00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:31,039
that give me moral support about that

115
00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:32,560
and i think it's just fine to need

116
00:05:36,390 --> 00:05:34,400
support from your friends and from your

117
00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:36,400
your parents for that

118
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:42,469
thank you

119
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:48,390
hello my name is taylor and my question

120
00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:50,560
is do astronauts get claustrophobic when

121
00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:52,240
they are in the air

122
00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:59,590
well i can't speak for everyone you know

123
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:01,199
my sleeping quarters it's like i know

124
00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:02,720
that now all of you are too young to

125
00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:04,160
know what a phone booth is like but it's

126
00:06:09,189 --> 00:06:06,400
about the size of a telephone booth

127
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:09,199
and inside i like to sleep kind of

128
00:06:14,469 --> 00:06:11,840
curled up and so i'm sort of you know

129
00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:14,479
curled up like this and and i can

130
00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:16,560
actually move around and roll around in

131
00:06:19,909 --> 00:06:18,240
my sleeping bag where when i wake up in

132
00:06:22,629 --> 00:06:19,919
the morning i'm not really sure if i'm

133
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:22,639
looking at the ceiling or the floor or

134
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:24,160
the door and the only thing that i

135
00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:25,680
really can tell where it is is the

136
00:06:30,629 --> 00:06:27,759
computer has a little light so i don't

137
00:06:32,150 --> 00:06:30,639
get claustrophobic but i i think almost

138
00:06:35,110 --> 00:06:32,160
every morning i wake up a little bit

139
00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:35,120
confused about which direction is up and

140
00:06:41,919 --> 00:06:46,070
thank you

141
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:48,550
hi my name is akisha and my question is

142
00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:50,720
what was the most exciting experience

143
00:07:02,230 --> 00:06:59,749
takesha i would say the most exciting is

144
00:07:04,309 --> 00:07:02,240
the fact that i am living up in space i

145
00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:04,319
mean i know the launch in a rocket is

146
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:07,280
amazingly cool and it's so exciting but

147
00:07:12,870 --> 00:07:10,000
i i wake up literally every day saying i

148
00:07:14,629 --> 00:07:12,880
am still here and also oh i have so much

149
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:14,639
work i need to do before i leave you

150
00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:16,800
know i miss being home and at the same

151
00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:17,919
time

152
00:07:21,749 --> 00:07:20,080
it's such a fascinating place to be

153
00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:21,759
where i'm just learning to live in a

154
00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:24,000
different place where all the rules as

155
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:25,599
we know them are a little bit different

156
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:28,080
everything is floating including us and

157
00:07:31,830 --> 00:07:30,160
we do our daily living everything from

158
00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:31,840
eating and brushing our teeth a little

159
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:34,000
bit differently and there's cool science

160
00:07:38,629 --> 00:07:36,400
experiments that i get to do every

161
00:07:40,790 --> 00:07:38,639
single day so i would say the most

162
00:07:43,909 --> 00:07:40,800
exciting thing for me is the fact that i

163
00:07:45,670 --> 00:07:43,919
am living on a space station and for you

164
00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:45,680
it's just a normal thing that you could

165
00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:46,800
do too

166
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,350
thank you

167
00:08:02,629 --> 00:08:00,469
hi my name is tylen and my question is

168
00:08:04,469 --> 00:08:02,639
are you able to see how the earthquake

169
00:08:10,830 --> 00:08:04,479
and tsunami affected the earth from

170
00:08:17,189 --> 00:08:15,029
see thailand um we we can see uh those

171
00:08:20,230 --> 00:08:17,199
kinds of things with powerful lenses

172
00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:20,240
like 400 800 millimeter lenses and in

173
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:22,560
fact we take pictures of the earth every

174
00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:25,120
day at every chance that we get it's so

175
00:08:28,710 --> 00:08:26,720
interesting to sort of see what's going

176
00:08:30,390 --> 00:08:28,720
on there and there's been times that the

177
00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:30,400
crew on the space station has actually

178
00:08:34,709 --> 00:08:32,640
discovered say an erupting volcano maybe

179
00:08:37,509 --> 00:08:34,719
in a place where there's no people even

180
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:37,519
before people knew it on the ground

181
00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:40,000
when we heard about the tsunami we right

182
00:08:43,909 --> 00:08:42,000
away started looking at the world map

183
00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:43,919
and trying to pinpoint when we would be

184
00:08:48,630 --> 00:08:46,000
over japan to take those pictures and

185
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:48,640
you really can see just uh how much sort

186
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:51,040
of water is everywhere and just erosion

187
00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:53,120
and and just that the

188
00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:54,720
i mean i can't see houses and things

189
00:08:57,750 --> 00:08:56,160
like that but you can just see that

190
00:08:59,829 --> 00:08:57,760
there was a lot of damage and the same

191
00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:59,839
for the earthquake in new zealand

192
00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:01,279
so we can see a lot of interesting

193
00:09:08,470 --> 00:09:02,800
things from up here it's also very

194
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,110
thank you

195
00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:15,990
hi my name is gianna and my question is

196
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:18,480
how does microgravity affect the way

197
00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:27,760
that we sleep

198
00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:30,720
um for me i have a little trouble i like

199
00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:32,160
to sleep when i'm home kind of all

200
00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:33,680
curled up in a ball

201
00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:36,560
and here our natural sort of posture

202
00:09:40,310 --> 00:09:38,720
i'll kind of show you here is um is to

203
00:09:42,389 --> 00:09:40,320
be you know like a little bit sort of

204
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:42,399
like curled up like this but not really

205
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:44,560
like all the way curled up and so to be

206
00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:46,160
all the way curled up i have to pull my

207
00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:47,839
legs up into my sleeping bag and they

208
00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:49,440
don't quite fit so i always have a

209
00:09:52,389 --> 00:09:50,399
little trouble

210
00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:52,399
getting to sleep but then once i'm

211
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:05,990
thank you

212
00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:08,630
hi my name is zayna and my question is

213
00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:10,240
what does it feel like to live and work

214
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:18,550
tina it is um it's just totally

215
00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:20,480
delightful um i will tell you when we

216
00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:22,399
first came up i came up with paolo

217
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:24,880
nespoli and dima condrative uh demons

218
00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:27,440
from russia palos from italy and uh

219
00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:28,800
paolo and i had been to space on the

220
00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:30,720
space shuttle before lived up here you

221
00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:32,880
know a week or two and what we found

222
00:10:36,230 --> 00:10:34,640
when we first got here is that you know

223
00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:36,240
at least paolo and i it was very

224
00:10:40,310 --> 00:10:38,160
familiar we we knew what it felt like to

225
00:10:41,910 --> 00:10:40,320
be weightless and yet when we're trying

226
00:10:42,790 --> 00:10:41,920
to move around we're still sort of

227
00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:42,800
learning

228
00:10:47,430 --> 00:10:45,120
literally about physics that if i am

229
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:47,440
going along and i try to stop and i just

230
00:10:52,230 --> 00:10:49,519
reach out one hand to stop i'm actually

231
00:10:53,829 --> 00:10:52,240
going to sort of tumble head over heels

232
00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:53,839
because i've only put one point out and

233
00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:55,519
all my energy is going to make me go

234
00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:57,839
whoop like that and so we are a little

235
00:11:03,509 --> 00:11:01,200
clumsy when we first get up here and now

236
00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:03,519
i think automatically i sort of correct

237
00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:05,600
for all those kinds of things and i can

238
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:07,760
give myself a single push and i can sail

239
00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:09,760
all the way through a module and not hit

240
00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:12,480
anything and go a long ways or even just

241
00:11:16,150 --> 00:11:14,560
spinning and at first when i was up here

242
00:11:18,069 --> 00:11:16,160
i would try to hold on to things and

243
00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:18,079
always have hold on to things and now

244
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:20,000
i'm a little better at letting things go

245
00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:28,630
thank you

246
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:32,000
you're welcome and leland you know if

247
00:11:36,870 --> 00:11:33,760
i'm going too slow if i need to go a

248
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:36,880
little faster just let me know okay

249
00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:43,269
go ahead go ahead

250
00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:45,360
hi my name is brianna and my question is

251
00:11:52,949 --> 00:11:47,040
how do you maintain a personal life

252
00:11:57,590 --> 00:11:55,110
well maintaining a personal life is i

253
00:12:01,269 --> 00:11:57,600
think hard for anybody who's busy but

254
00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:01,279
also possible it's just a challenge i'm

255
00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:03,200
actually somebody who's married

256
00:12:06,949 --> 00:12:05,040
my husband lives in massachusetts i live

257
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:06,959
in texas and i spent the last three

258
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:08,320
years getting ready for the space

259
00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:10,480
station spending about a third of my

260
00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:13,120
time in russia some in japan some in

261
00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:15,040
europe learning about all the things i

262
00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:16,800
needed to know before i would come to

263
00:12:20,550 --> 00:12:18,480
the space station and be able to work

264
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:20,560
really hard and efficiently while i was

265
00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:23,680
up here for six months so um i'm already

266
00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:25,680
a long-distance marriage person which is

267
00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:27,600
a little bit alternative and some people

268
00:12:31,990 --> 00:12:29,760
would say well that's different and it's

269
00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:32,000
not the same and it's probably not as

270
00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:34,720
much or as good as what's quote unquote

271
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:37,040
normal and i think that if you have a

272
00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:38,639
challenging situation

273
00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:40,240
you just have to figure out what's

274
00:12:43,829 --> 00:12:42,240
what's good for you and not worry about

275
00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:43,839
what other people whether other people

276
00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:46,000
might think that it's different

277
00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:47,760
or or not

278
00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:49,920
not as good you know for my husband and

279
00:12:54,069 --> 00:12:52,240
i and our son i think it works really

280
00:12:56,230 --> 00:12:54,079
great but i will tell you i work really

281
00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:56,240
hard at communication i can call on the

282
00:12:59,590 --> 00:12:57,839
phone from here

283
00:13:01,190 --> 00:12:59,600
every night certainly i talk to them i

284
00:13:03,190 --> 00:13:01,200
think every day but three days that i've

285
00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:03,200
been here i talk to my family

286
00:13:07,990 --> 00:13:05,360
and we do things like read stories from

287
00:13:09,269 --> 00:13:08,000
space my son and i and uh and try to

288
00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:09,279
make sure that we talk about all the

289
00:13:13,829 --> 00:13:11,519
important things that that husbands and

290
00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:13,839
wives need to talk about so i work hard

291
00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:15,279
at communication because it is a

292
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:16,880
challenge but it's definitely possible

293
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:31,509
thank you

294
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:34,310
hi my question oh hi my name is chad and

295
00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:36,720
my question is where do astronauts store

296
00:13:45,110 --> 00:13:39,120
their food if there are no refrigerators

297
00:13:49,750 --> 00:13:47,030
a lot of the food chad that we bring up

298
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:49,760
here or that is sent up up here for us

299
00:13:54,870 --> 00:13:52,800
um is uh food in packages just like in

300
00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:54,880
the military they eat in in places where

301
00:13:58,550 --> 00:13:55,920
they're not going to be able to have a

302
00:14:00,790 --> 00:13:58,560
lot of refrigeration or um even fresh

303
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:00,800
water we have fresh water but a lot of

304
00:14:04,629 --> 00:14:02,560
our food is either in packages where we

305
00:14:07,030 --> 00:14:04,639
just heat them up or just cut open the

306
00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:07,040
package with scissors and eat them eat

307
00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:10,079
things things like beef stew or

308
00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:11,040
i don't know

309
00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:14,160
chinese food or thai food thai curry

310
00:14:18,069 --> 00:14:16,160
all sorts of things like that mexican

311
00:14:20,790 --> 00:14:18,079
food but then i also have food that's

312
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:20,800
dehydrated and i add water by going up

313
00:14:24,310 --> 00:14:22,639
to our water dispenser and it's almost

314
00:14:26,550 --> 00:14:24,320
like a needle and a squirt water in

315
00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:26,560
there the food gets hydrated i would say

316
00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:28,720
all the food you know looks kind of bad

317
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,269
thank you

318
00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:44,069
my name is nisha and my question is what

319
00:14:51,269 --> 00:14:45,680
are some of the challenges of being an

320
00:14:56,069 --> 00:14:54,389
one of the challenges for me is that

321
00:14:58,949 --> 00:14:56,079
we have to know

322
00:15:01,590 --> 00:14:58,959
about a lot of things we have to learn

323
00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:01,600
about a lot of things and you know so

324
00:15:06,389 --> 00:15:04,320
you know there's just a lot to know and

325
00:15:09,910 --> 00:15:06,399
the way that i do that is i try to just

326
00:15:12,069 --> 00:15:09,920
do all of my homework and um and i try

327
00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:12,079
to just uh you know make sure that it's

328
00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:13,680
not that i have to remember everything

329
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:15,440
but i have to know how to find that

330
00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:17,760
information so i try to be resourceful

331
00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:20,320
about where i store information and so i

332
00:15:23,829 --> 00:15:22,240
can get it when i need it but i would

333
00:15:25,590 --> 00:15:23,839
say you know sometimes

334
00:15:27,350 --> 00:15:25,600
actually the the nice part of it is that

335
00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:27,360
i feel like when i'm maybe sitting on an

336
00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:29,600
airplane looking for something to do i

337
00:15:32,870 --> 00:15:31,360
could actually read about anything in

338
00:15:35,749 --> 00:15:32,880
the whole wide world whether it's

339
00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:35,759
photography or art or chemistry or

340
00:15:39,749 --> 00:15:37,279
engineering or

341
00:15:41,590 --> 00:15:39,759
you name it if i read about that i would

342
00:15:43,110 --> 00:15:41,600
use that in my job as an astronaut so we

343
00:15:45,189 --> 00:15:43,120
do a lot of different things which i

344
00:15:47,189 --> 00:15:45,199
really like and i will tell you that i'm

345
00:15:52,389 --> 00:15:47,199
just always learning things every single

346
00:15:52,399 --> 00:16:00,150
thank you

347
00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:02,870
hi my name is nandi and my question is

348
00:16:12,310 --> 00:16:04,240
what are some of the feelings and

349
00:16:15,829 --> 00:16:14,069
you know it's funny there's some days

350
00:16:17,829 --> 00:16:15,839
when you know i have a regular day just

351
00:16:19,189 --> 00:16:17,839
like everybody else where maybe there's

352
00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:19,199
things that i'm happy about maybe

353
00:16:22,150 --> 00:16:20,880
there's things that i'm frustrated about

354
00:16:23,430 --> 00:16:22,160
you know especially there's sometimes i

355
00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:23,440
have sort of bad days where i'm

356
00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:25,680
frustrated i would say up here sometimes

357
00:16:29,269 --> 00:16:27,680
it's so busy that i don't have time to

358
00:16:31,749 --> 00:16:29,279
do all the things that i think i should

359
00:16:33,749 --> 00:16:31,759
be doing up here so i have you know

360
00:16:35,590 --> 00:16:33,759
frustrating days where i have those same

361
00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:35,600
kind of i think frustrating feelings

362
00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:37,040
that you know everybody gets down there

363
00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:38,399
on the ground too

364
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:41,120
and then there are times that i just you

365
00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:43,680
know as i give myself a push and i sail

366
00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:46,079
through a module or um i'm a flute

367
00:16:50,310 --> 00:16:48,160
player in my spare time i like to play

368
00:16:52,550 --> 00:16:50,320
the flute and so sometimes at night i'll

369
00:16:54,710 --> 00:16:52,560
be playing my flute and just kind of you

370
00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:54,720
know floating around playing kind of

371
00:16:59,269 --> 00:16:56,959
running into things and and it reminds

372
00:17:01,030 --> 00:16:59,279
me of things that i like to do and so

373
00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:01,040
you know then i feel special and i feel

374
00:17:05,909 --> 00:17:03,120
kind of um you know i feel a little bit

375
00:17:07,669 --> 00:17:05,919
like i'm back home so i think you have

376
00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:07,679
all the same feelings up here it's just

377
00:17:12,309 --> 00:17:10,079
that you're alone and i'm gonna have

378
00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:12,319
crewmates too and sometimes you don't

379
00:17:15,750 --> 00:17:13,839
have the people there to share them with

380
00:17:18,309 --> 00:17:15,760
and you have to save them up and write

381
00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:18,319
them down or call the people and talk to

382
00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:25,189
thank you

383
00:17:37,669 --> 00:17:31,590
my name is tony and my question is how

384
00:17:42,070 --> 00:17:40,150
well tony it is so much fun up here

385
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:42,080
where everything moves around we're

386
00:17:45,909 --> 00:17:44,240
inventing new kinds of games like you

387
00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:45,919
know there's a game called pool down on

388
00:17:49,190 --> 00:17:47,520
the ground where there's a pool table

389
00:17:50,950 --> 00:17:49,200
and you hit a ball and it hits another

390
00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:50,960
ball and and really if you think about

391
00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:53,120
your geometry and your trigonometry then

392
00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:54,640
you're going to be pretty good at pool

393
00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:56,080
or at least knowing where the balls are

394
00:17:59,510 --> 00:17:57,919
supposed to go i'm not good at it but i

395
00:18:01,750 --> 00:17:59,520
know where they're supposed to go but up

396
00:18:03,990 --> 00:18:01,760
here we're playing pool in three

397
00:18:05,669 --> 00:18:04,000
dimensions and so it's just really fun

398
00:18:07,590 --> 00:18:05,679
to have a place where suddenly all the

399
00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:07,600
rules are different just because gravity

400
00:18:13,190 --> 00:18:10,720
is such a large force it dominates the

401
00:18:14,870 --> 00:18:13,200
behavior of all sorts of materials and

402
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:14,880
the way things work down on the earth

403
00:18:23,510 --> 00:18:16,960
and so without gravity it's pretty

404
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,990
thank you

405
00:18:29,270 --> 00:18:27,510
okay

406
00:18:32,070 --> 00:18:29,280
all right katie thank you for that

407
00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:32,080
wonderful uh question and answer period

408
00:18:35,590 --> 00:18:34,000
this is uh urban's in that concludes the

409
00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:35,600
event and we'll see you back on the

410
00:18:43,830 --> 00:18:41,110
leland i'll see you back there too and
