traffic that came up there's three areas

20
00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:04,479
that you know are a little bit of

21
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:05,519
concern

22
00:01:09,429 --> 00:01:07,920
the team on the ground will decide over

23
00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:09,439
the next couple days if we have to take

24
00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:11,439
a closer look at it but

25
00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:13,280
the current damage doesn't seem i mean

26
00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:15,040

27
00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:22,070
all right good good without further ado

28
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:24,080

29
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:25,680

33
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:33,040
spencer kelly

34
00:01:40,069 --> 00:01:35,200

38
00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:46,560
i live in miami canada i was wondering

39
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:48,880
after four times going space

40
00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:50,720

41
00:02:01,910 --> 00:02:00,469

an honorary canadian on board next to me

44
00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:05,439
yeah we heard we heard the question

45
00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:09,200
miles uh after four times in flight okay

46
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:11,520
what do i look forward to the most

47
00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:13,760
well you know these missions are very

48
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:15,440
very challenging and very rewarding

49
00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:17,360
there's a lot to do

50
00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:19,520
i you know i particularly like looking

51
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:21,200
at the earth and the small amount of

52
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:23,200
chance we get but also

53
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:25,680
flying through the space station is an

54
00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:27,680
awful lot of fun so the you know those

55
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:34,949
all right let's go to question number

56
00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:37,760
two this one is a text question actually

57
00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:40,959
a couple of questions uh for you mark

58
00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:42,959
uh one of them comes from watertown new

59
00:02:47,589 --> 00:02:45,360
york the first one an observation from

60
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:47,599
an old marine to an old sailor i don't

61
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:49,680
know if you like the old part but he's a

62
00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:52,080
sailor for sure come back safely what's

63
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:54,000
in store for our space program remains

64
00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:55,200
to be seen

65
00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:57,360
it will be exciting but not as exciting

66
00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:59,200
as seeing gabby back on her feet at full

67
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:01,440
throttle and then this one from saint

68
00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:03,040
mary's ohio

69
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:05,760
uh this one is

70
00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:08,560
he says mr gifford it is difficult is it

71
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,400
difficult leaving your wife even though

72
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:12,640
she's doing well i think she would want

73
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:15,120
to be where you are now god bless you

74
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:16,800
and your wife and the whole crew and

75
00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:18,959
mark i'll just button it up with i know

76
00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:21,680
gabby had surgery yesterday i assume

77
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:23,440
you've had some updates uh how are

78
00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:29,910
well i had the chance at the end of the

79
00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:32,959
day to call her mom and her chief of

80
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:34,959
staff and my brother periodically

81
00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:36,480
through the

82
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:38,080
as the surgery was going on and she's

83
00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:40,000
doing really well everything went as

84
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:42,159
planned her neurosurgeons

85
00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:44,879
are very happy she's recuperating and

86
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:46,319
she's actually getting back to therapy

87
00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:53,589
now of course gabby was at the launch i

88
00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:55,920
understand you're carrying uh her

89
00:04:00,869 --> 00:03:57,519
wedding ring with you i don't you have

90
00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:00,879
it on you and also i'm just curious

91
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:02,480
in the i know you have a busy day up

92
00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:08,470
it's great right around your neck it's

93
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:09,680
right there

94
00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:11,840
in in the course of your in the course

95
00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:13,840
of your busy day

96
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:15,920
obviously you have a lot to think about

97
00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:18,079
up there your thoughts must go to her as

98
00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:25,110
yeah obviously this has been a long road

99
00:04:29,909 --> 00:04:26,240
since

100
00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:29,919
january 8th for us it um

101
00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:31,919
her having surgery

102
00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:32,639
uh

103
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,560
yesterday was not

104
00:04:38,629 --> 00:04:36,479
planned all along but she was ready and

105
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:38,639
the doctors you know wanted wanted to do

106
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:40,800
it then and didn't make sense to wait a

107
00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:42,800
couple weeks until i got back

108
00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:44,400
so i've been thinking a little bit a

109
00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:46,560
little bit about that but it

110
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:48,960
it's it's pretty common surgery and it

111
00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:51,440
went really well

112
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:53,520
she was really excited to be at the

113
00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:55,600
launch really enjoyed it a lot she was

114
00:04:59,110 --> 00:04:56,960
there with

115
00:05:01,670 --> 00:04:59,120
not only my kids but all the children

116
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:01,680
and spouses of the rest of the crew and

117
00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:03,680
they really had a great time despite the

118
00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:05,039
fact that we

119
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:07,120
went through some clouds there in about

120
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:12,310
yeah i think it was about about 20

121
00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:13,600
seconds after launch you guys

122
00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:15,600
disappeared uh i tell you what pass the

123
00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:18,479
mic over to ron garan ron uh who is a

124
00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:21,120
space station keeper and uh has spent a

125
00:05:25,430 --> 00:05:23,680
little bit of time up there you tweeted

126
00:05:27,189 --> 00:05:25,440
a photo

127
00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:27,199
of the mississippi river the other day

128
00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:29,600
and nasa has been sending images as well

129
00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:31,120
what's it like to see

130
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:33,280
the devastation of that flooding from

131
00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:38,710
well miles that's that's an interesting

132
00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:40,880
question because you know we we do have

133
00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:43,039
this sense of isolation being up here

134
00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:44,880
you know you know living off the planet

135
00:05:48,629 --> 00:05:46,960
but at the same time you know even

136
00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:48,639
though we have this sense of isolation

137
00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:50,639
we have we have the ability to be more

138
00:05:54,469 --> 00:05:52,240
connected with things on the ground

139
00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:54,479
because we fly over it all the time so

140
00:05:58,230 --> 00:05:56,400
you know watching you know

141
00:06:00,710 --> 00:05:58,240
the mississippi river flooding on the

142
00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:00,720
news and then flying over it are two

143
00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:02,400
different things and seeing with our own

144
00:06:05,909 --> 00:06:04,880
eyes the uh you know the devastation and

145
00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:05,919
and the

146
00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:10,560
area of the of the country uh you know

147
00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:11,680
is really something and we feel a

148
00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:13,440
responsibility to try and document that

149
00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:15,759
as best we can as as time allows and

150
00:06:21,029 --> 00:06:17,520
take as many pictures of that area as we

151
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:22,550
all right our next question is a video

152
00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:24,560
question it's aimed at mike fink so

153
00:06:27,189 --> 00:06:25,600
while we're playing it why don't you

154
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:27,199
send the microphone over to mike and

155
00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:28,560
let's listen this one comes from

156
00:06:32,830 --> 00:06:30,240

and we were wondering what's the hardest

161
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:48,790
the hardest thing about being in space

162
00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:50,800

165
00:06:58,950 --> 00:06:57,440
being in space is flying and yesterday

we opened up the hatch the international

167
00:07:02,629 --> 00:07:00,479
space station and i could really stretch

168
00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:02,639
my legs and fly from one end to the

169
00:07:06,550 --> 00:07:04,720
other we have a beautiful space station

170
00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:06,560
i also really like looking at our

171
00:07:13,189 --> 00:07:07,840

00:07:47,589 --> 00:07:46,639
ah there there's box greg johnson comes

188
00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:47,599
in

189
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:49,520
you know the pilot never gets enough

190
00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:51,280
respect i'm glad you did that that was a

191
00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:55,120
good move uh drew feustel uh this one um

192
00:08:00,390 --> 00:07:58,080
from the the grinning man from youtube

193
00:08:01,350 --> 00:08:00,400
the question is how realistic is obama's

194
00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:01,360
promise

195
00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:04,319
to visit the planet mars by 2030 do you

196
00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:16,869
hey hi miles how you doing thanks for

197
00:08:21,749 --> 00:08:20,080
the thanks for the question and um

198
00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:21,759
it's sort of a bigger question i think

199
00:08:25,430 --> 00:08:24,000
to answer is uh you know what direction

200
00:08:27,189 --> 00:08:25,440
we're going and i think we're all as

201
00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:27,199
space explorers interested in uh

202
00:08:31,270 --> 00:08:29,199
eventually getting on to mars

203
00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:31,280
and uh also visiting the moon since

204
00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:33,200
that's our nearest neighbor

205
00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:35,200
in my vision can we do it sooner i think

206
00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:37,039
we can and hopefully with the progress

207
00:08:41,190 --> 00:08:39,120
we're making with the commercial launch

208
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:41,200
vehicles and what nasa is doing for

209
00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:43,200
heavy lift and with the intent as long

210
00:08:46,230 --> 00:08:44,880
as you know we have the intent to make

211
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,240
it on to uh

212
00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:48,480
to mars eventually uh you know we will

213
00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:49,920
get there as humans i don't think we'll

214
00:08:53,750 --> 00:08:52,160
ever stop exploring and we're all

215
00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:53,760
excited to be a part of the the great

216
00:08:59,590 --> 00:08:55,600
adventure really all starting right here

217
00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:01,110
well a lot of people who know a little

218
00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:02,240
bit about space would tell you the

219
00:09:09,670 --> 00:09:03,680
hurdles are not technological they're

220
00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:11,350
well certainly miles that's uh that's

221
00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:12,399
one way to look at it and there are a

222
00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:14,240
lot of challenges that we have ahead uh

223
00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:15,920
of course one of the great things as i

224
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:17,279
mentioned about the space station is

225
00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:19,600
that it's international and and i think

226
00:09:23,509 --> 00:09:21,440
all of us support the notion of

227
00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:23,519
international cooperation for you know

228
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:25,920
longer term space exploration not only

229
00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:32,230
all right pass it over to the pilot greg

230
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:34,480
johnson box question for you this one

231
00:09:37,990 --> 00:09:36,640
comes from hanging with joe from san

232
00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:38,000
francisco

233
00:09:42,470 --> 00:09:40,000
uh at what point during the mission does

234
00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:42,480
it sink in that you are one of only the

235
00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:45,120
few one of the only few people on earth

236
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:47,200
to have been able to see earth from

237
00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:54,389
well i think it's a great honor there

238
00:09:57,670 --> 00:09:56,800
have been quite a few people almost 500

239
00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:57,680
now

240
00:10:01,110 --> 00:09:59,440
and uh just like any other mode of

241
00:10:02,829 --> 00:10:01,120
transportation you need to turn your mic

242
00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:02,839
on box turn your mic

243
00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:06,160
on turn the mic on

244
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:08,800
sorry about that as a laid out i guess i

245
00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:10,640
didn't get debris all the time

246
00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:14,790
yeah

247
00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:17,600
as a point of order order both taz and i

248
00:10:22,949 --> 00:10:19,760
were not uh

249
00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:22,959
we were not a wall we were actually just

250
00:10:26,630 --> 00:10:25,120
finishing up with the ams install but to

251
00:10:28,389 --> 00:10:26,640
answer your question

252
00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:28,399
um i think that

253
00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:30,720
any mode of transportation like cars and

254
00:10:34,949 --> 00:10:33,279
airplanes progress along and in space

255
00:10:37,269 --> 00:10:34,959
there's been almost 500 people that have

256
00:10:38,630 --> 00:10:37,279
looked at the earth from space

257
00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:38,640
and i think

258
00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:41,040
in a few decades there will be

259
00:10:44,230 --> 00:10:42,240
many many

260
00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:44,240
multitudes of more people that get to

261
00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:46,320
see the earth from space but i can tell

262
00:10:52,230 --> 00:10:48,959
you it's a great honor and i cherish

263
00:10:56,069 --> 00:10:54,150
well i will say here here to that i hope

264
00:10:59,030 --> 00:10:56,079
i'm among them send it over to commander

265
00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:59,040
kelly there this is the highest rated

266
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:00,880
video question

267
00:11:05,190 --> 00:11:03,760
uh of all of the google moderator

268
00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:05,200
questions so we're going to roll the

269
00:11:08,870 --> 00:11:06,959
video this comes from ethan from san

270
00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:08,880
francisco all the google moderator

271
00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:10,880
participants voted this the most

272
00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:14,399
interesting question so here it comes

273
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:17,120
i know commander kelly's wife

274
00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:18,480
representative

275
00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:20,959
giffords is has really worked hard on

276
00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:23,040
foreign policy and congress and

277
00:11:26,949 --> 00:11:25,519
led by example installing panels on her

278
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:26,959
roof in tucson

279
00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:28,560
i was hoping to get the cruise thoughts

280
00:11:33,269 --> 00:11:31,440
not just on solar power but the power of

281
00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:33,279
space exploration to really challenge

282
00:11:38,949 --> 00:11:36,000
ourselves and develop new technologies

283
00:11:45,430 --> 00:11:38,959
that not only enable space exploration

284
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:47,110
yeah great question so that's what you

285
00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:51,590
it's is one of the interesting things

286
00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:53,040
about when you do something that's

287
00:11:56,629 --> 00:11:55,360
really really hard like traveling in in

288
00:11:58,629 --> 00:11:56,639
space

289
00:12:00,870 --> 00:11:58,639
getting off the planet and into earth

290
00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:00,880
orbit and going to the moon are very

291
00:12:04,310 --> 00:12:03,120
difficult things to do and when you do

292
00:12:06,550 --> 00:12:04,320
something like that and you push

293
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:06,560
technology forward you get a lot of a

294
00:12:10,550 --> 00:12:08,720
lot of benefits

295
00:12:11,949 --> 00:12:10,560
you know things that people

296
00:12:13,829 --> 00:12:11,959
currently use every day like

297
00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:13,839
telecommunications and their cell phones

298
00:12:20,069 --> 00:12:16,720
and computers had a lot to do with uh

299
00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:20,079
the the united states uh reaching to put

300
00:12:22,949 --> 00:12:22,000
men on the moon and then what we've been

301
00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:22,959
doing

302
00:12:27,269 --> 00:12:25,040
in space exploration for the last 40

303
00:12:29,910 --> 00:12:27,279
years so you know it's really a

304
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:29,920
technology driver and it's it's really

305
00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:31,760
important for our country so

306
00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:33,760
obviously we're here and we're big

307
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,000
promoters of space exploration but it's

308
00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:38,880
one thing that drives our economy

309
00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:41,200
and it's uh you know important for the

310
00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:43,600
advancement of science and technology

311
00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:49,350
all right this one's uh a couple of you

312
00:12:52,430 --> 00:12:51,279
can take this if you like uh this one

313
00:12:54,949 --> 00:12:52,440
comes from

314
00:12:56,629 --> 00:12:54,959
smith5se from michigan commander

315
00:12:58,389 --> 00:12:56,639
kellyanne cru he says how do you feel

316
00:13:00,550 --> 00:12:58,399
about using social media to share your

317
00:13:02,310 --> 00:13:00,560
personal story as an astronaut and

318
00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:02,320
inspire others has it been beneficial

319
00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:05,040
for you and we continue to use it for

320
00:13:08,710 --> 00:13:07,920
outreach upon wheel stop so the question

321
00:13:09,910 --> 00:13:08,720
you know

322
00:13:11,269 --> 00:13:09,920
the tweeting and all the social

323
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:11,279
networking the way you connect with

324
00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:18,629
yeah miles i've certainly noticed the

325
00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:20,639
difference between my last mission two

326
00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:23,200
years ago and this mission with the

327
00:13:27,030 --> 00:13:25,760
social media including uh tweeting

328
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:27,040
uh

329
00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:30,320
we were some of us like myself box and a

330
00:13:35,670 --> 00:13:32,480
few others were able to tweet right

331
00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:35,680
before the uh our launch and we shared

332
00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:38,560
do our our special meals that we had and

333
00:13:41,829 --> 00:13:40,079
what it was like to wake up on launch

334
00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:41,839
day and everything and people really

335
00:13:46,790 --> 00:13:43,920
enjoyed it and that's how we pay back to

336
00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:46,800
the people who pay for our salaries is

337
00:13:51,590 --> 00:13:48,959
to share this adventure with them you

338
00:13:53,030 --> 00:13:51,600
know another tweeter on board is ron

339
00:13:55,350 --> 00:13:53,040
garan i think he's gotten a lot of

340
00:13:56,790 --> 00:13:55,360
popularity from showing uh showing some

341
00:14:00,389 --> 00:13:56,800
of the things he's been able to see from

342
00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:03,189
yeah miles um i think those of us that

343
00:14:06,790 --> 00:14:05,360
uh you know have the privilege of of

344
00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:06,800
flying in space and seeing the earth

345
00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:08,399
from space you know we we understand

346
00:14:12,790 --> 00:14:10,720
that it's a responsibility to share that

347
00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:12,800
uh with everybody as best we can and

348
00:14:17,189 --> 00:14:15,040
some of the social media that we use you

349
00:14:19,030 --> 00:14:17,199
know twitter and we have websites of

350
00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:19,040
fragile oasis as a blog site that we're

351
00:14:22,949 --> 00:14:21,360
using is a way for us to have people

352
00:14:25,189 --> 00:14:22,959
follow along on the mission not just as

353
00:14:26,949 --> 00:14:25,199
spectators but almost as fellow crew

354
00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:26,959
members and to really participate in

355
00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:28,880
what we're doing and like i said we have

356
00:14:31,990 --> 00:14:30,480
a you know we we understand we have a

357
00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:32,000
big responsibility to share what we're

358
00:14:35,110 --> 00:14:33,839
doing with as many people as we can and

359
00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:35,120
this is one of the tools that we use to

360
00:14:43,269 --> 00:14:40,790
uh this can go to uh i'll tell you what

361
00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:43,279
let's go to uh send it over to drew i

362
00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:45,360
guess for this one

363
00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:46,880
this one comes from florida on youtube

364
00:14:51,269 --> 00:14:48,800
when you're in orbit you have to make a

365
00:14:58,870 --> 00:14:51,279
lot of maneuvers due to satellites space

366
00:15:02,629 --> 00:15:01,030
okay so miles thanks i guess that was a

367
00:15:05,670 --> 00:15:02,639
question do we have to make a lot of

368
00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:05,680
maneuvers and the answer is uh sometimes

369
00:15:10,629 --> 00:15:08,639
fortunately uh many of those items

370
00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:10,639
are tracked for us well all the items

371
00:15:13,430 --> 00:15:12,320
that we make maneuvers for our track for

372
00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:13,440
us and

373
00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:15,600
so we do we do that from time to time it

374
00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:17,600
would it's it's not as frequent as some

375
00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:18,720
might think

376
00:15:22,470 --> 00:15:20,880
obviously the bigger danger for us is

377
00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:22,480
items that are not tracked and that's

378
00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:24,720
especially true for uh for space walkers

379
00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:26,720
so it's something we think about but

380
00:15:30,629 --> 00:15:28,959
fortunately many of those

381
00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:30,639
issues are taken care of by the ground

382
00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:32,160
control teams that are watching out for

383
00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:37,350
all right send it over to box there greg

384
00:15:42,069 --> 00:15:39,920
johnson this one comes from dj admiral

385
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:42,079
on youtube what kind of internet

386
00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:44,320
connection do you get up there is it

387
00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:46,880
fast any restrictions

388
00:15:54,150 --> 00:15:49,360
uh wink wink what's the ip range of

389
00:15:58,389 --> 00:15:55,590
uh

390
00:16:00,949 --> 00:15:58,399
good question dj um

391
00:16:03,470 --> 00:16:00,959
as shuttle guys we really don't uh

392
00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:03,480
partake in the internet we've got uh

393
00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:06,320
synchronizations with our emails uh it

394
00:16:11,269 --> 00:16:09,040
kind of gives us a pseudo e email uh or

395
00:16:12,790 --> 00:16:11,279
pseudo internet uh to communicate with

396
00:16:15,030 --> 00:16:12,800
our families and friends and our

397
00:16:16,629 --> 00:16:15,040
associates however i'm gonna pass this

398
00:16:18,629 --> 00:16:16,639
to ronnie because on the station i

399
00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:18,639
believe that they have uh a better

400
00:16:23,590 --> 00:16:21,600
internet than we do on the shuttle

401
00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:23,600
so this is uh something that's uh

402
00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:25,440
somewhat new as our capability to use

403
00:16:29,829 --> 00:16:26,560
the internet

404
00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:29,839
and um how it works is we could be at a

405
00:16:32,949 --> 00:16:31,440
laptop here on the international space

406
00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:32,959
station and

407
00:16:38,069 --> 00:16:36,639
basically control remotely a pc or a

408
00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:38,079
computer down on the ground that is

409
00:16:43,189 --> 00:16:41,120
connected to the internet so it's we're

410
00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:43,199
we're limited to when we have the the

411
00:16:46,389 --> 00:16:45,040
correct communications coverage to be

412
00:16:48,710 --> 00:16:46,399
able to to

413
00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:48,720
be on the internet and there is some lag

414
00:16:52,629 --> 00:16:51,040
in it so it does work slower than you're

415
00:16:55,509 --> 00:16:52,639
probably used to on the ground but it's

416
00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:55,519
a very useful tool and it really uh

417
00:17:01,350 --> 00:16:57,440
helps us to stay connected with what's

418
00:17:06,150 --> 00:17:02,710
all right let's send this one up to mike

419
00:17:09,189 --> 00:17:06,160
fink in the back there this comes from

420
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:09,199
mandia blue in houston texas you know

421
00:17:12,150 --> 00:17:10,240
that place

422
00:17:14,549 --> 00:17:12,160
you get to take anything extra on the

423
00:17:19,669 --> 00:17:14,559
shuttle like pictures a teddy bear or

424
00:17:23,189 --> 00:17:21,350
well every um

425
00:17:26,390 --> 00:17:23,199
every mission

426
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:26,400
uh takes a lot of uh uh i mean we try to

427
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:28,640
carry as much scientific payload

428
00:17:32,549 --> 00:17:30,960
and uh useful things that we can like

429
00:17:34,789 --> 00:17:32,559
resupply for the international space

430
00:17:36,150 --> 00:17:34,799
station so we're very limited to take uh

431
00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:36,160
personal gear

432
00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:37,840
i did bring uh some pictures of my

433
00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:40,480
family i have three beautiful kids and a

434
00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:43,360
really nice wife she's also beautiful i

435
00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:45,520
brought a few small trinkets for the for

436
00:17:48,549 --> 00:17:46,640
the kids

437
00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:48,559
and that's pretty much all that we can

438
00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:50,720
bring on us on the space shuttle we're

439
00:17:55,669 --> 00:17:52,960
only gone from home for about uh two or

440
00:17:57,029 --> 00:17:55,679
three weeks so it's not a big deal and

441
00:18:00,710 --> 00:17:57,039
so we don't need to bring any special

442
00:18:04,710 --> 00:18:02,310
all right did you uh

443
00:18:07,110 --> 00:18:04,720
you have any of your uh any of your

444
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:07,120
personal trinkets with you on you that

445
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:13,830
i was just uh working along with uh drew

446
00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:16,640
here on our uh space walking suits our

447
00:18:21,430 --> 00:18:18,880
emu's that we're going outside with

448
00:18:23,510 --> 00:18:21,440

excellent excellent yeah this miles this

452
00:18:41,110 --> 00:18:35,440
is the

453
00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:42,630
wow

454
00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:49,760
glad uh i i i wish i had one myself hey

455
00:18:53,029 --> 00:18:51,200
uh this one uh

456
00:18:55,350 --> 00:18:53,039
final kind of this is one of my

457
00:18:57,590 --> 00:18:55,360
favorites from uh innocent nightmares

458
00:19:04,870 --> 00:18:57,600
garland texas do you ever actually say

459
00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:06,630
you know if we had an issue we would

460
00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:08,160
just normally call the ground with

461
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:10,400
houston endeavor and then we would talk

462
00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:14,549
yeah

463
00:19:17,110 --> 00:19:15,440
all right

464
00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:17,120
that's about all the time we have i got

465
00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:20,160
to implore upon you

466
00:19:42,630 --> 00:19:26,950
yeah no problem i think we can do that

467
00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:45,430
that's certainly not uh as graceful as

468
00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:47,200
it could have been that's why we usually

469
00:19:50,950 --> 00:19:49,360
hesitate to do those but it's uh

470
00:19:52,870 --> 00:19:50,960
certainly fun to do

471
00:19:55,029 --> 00:19:52,880
wow

472
00:19:56,549 --> 00:19:55,039

473
00:19:58,789 --> 00:19:56,559
