1 00:00:04,789 --> 00:00:02,950 we're going to outer space right now no 2 00:00:06,789 --> 00:00:04,799 kidding you're looking at two astronauts 3 00:00:10,150 --> 00:00:06,799 on the international space station we've 4 00:00:12,709 --> 00:00:10,160 got mike fossil and also ron garan from 5 00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:12,719 yonkers new york he married a woman from 6 00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:15,360 brooklyn he went to suny oneonta 7 00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:16,720 we're so proud of you how are things 8 00:00:24,790 --> 00:00:22,870 good greg things are going really good 9 00:00:26,230 --> 00:00:24,800 we're getting ready for 10 00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:26,240 space shuttle atlantis to show up in a 11 00:00:31,669 --> 00:00:28,840 couple weeks so we're busy preparing for 12 00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:31,679 that preparing for that 13 00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:33,520 you know everybody was concerned we were 14 00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:36,960 talking a lot about uh some space junk 15 00:00:42,389 --> 00:00:40,640 or an asteroid almost missing earth uh 16 00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:42,399 by chance that you see it go by where 17 00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:51,750 no we got word about that but it was it 18 00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:54,000 was too far away for us to see glad it 19 00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:58,869 i have a feeling the astronauts just 20 00:01:02,389 --> 00:01:00,480 rolled their eyes at each other i could 21 00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:02,399 have been imagining it listen where are 22 00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:03,600 you guys right you're in the 23 00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:05,840 international space station where over 24 00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:08,240 earth are you how far up are you and 25 00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:15,990 well we're about 250 miles up uh and 26 00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:17,920 about 10 minutes ago we passed over 27 00:01:22,469 --> 00:01:20,880 italy so uh we're we're probably a long 28 00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:22,479 way from italy now at five miles a 29 00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:25,600 second but uh um you know we travel 30 00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:28,799 around the earth uh every 90 minutes so 31 00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:30,960 you know we get 16 sunrises and sunsets 32 00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:32,880 a day so it's a pretty pretty 33 00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:34,400 interesting and incredible place to live 34 00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:38,710 how long have you guys been up there 35 00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:40,400 when do you come back and can you give 36 00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:42,000 us an idea what your day is like what do 37 00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:50,389 well i launched on a russian rocket from 38 00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:52,960 kazakhstan on april 4th 39 00:01:57,429 --> 00:01:54,960 so i've been here almost almost three 40 00:01:59,429 --> 00:01:57,439 months now i i return in september uh 41 00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:59,439 mike got here a couple weeks about 42 00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:01,759 almost two and a half weeks ago uh and 43 00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:03,200 you'll be here in november is that 44 00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:05,600 correct so uh a typical day is you know 45 00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:07,439 we we do a lot of science on board you 46 00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:09,200 know the main purpose of having this 47 00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:11,760 orbital facility is to conduct uh 48 00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:13,520 research that we simply can't conduct on 49 00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:15,280 the ground to conduct it in the micro 50 00:02:19,750 --> 00:02:17,760 gravity environment that we can 51 00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,760 that we have on board here and so you 52 00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:21,520 know a great deal of our time is taken 53 00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:22,480 up by that 54 00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:24,000 we are just finishing up the 55 00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:25,599 construction phase of the station or we 56 00:02:29,830 --> 00:02:28,000 just did finish that up so 57 00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:29,840 we are fully into what we call the 58 00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:31,840 utilization phase of the international 59 00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:33,680 space station where we're going to get a 60 00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:35,760 lot of return on the investment we're 61 00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:37,040 going to have a lot of scientific 62 00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:39,840 discoveries so a great portion of our 63 00:02:43,509 --> 00:02:41,440 day is taken up with the science we also 64 00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:43,519 have to maintain the space station to 65 00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:45,360 keep it going like i said we're getting 66 00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:47,200 ready for the space shuttle to dock so 67 00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:48,560 we have a lot of preparation for that 68 00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:50,640 that's going to be a very uh challenging 69 00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:53,200 and busy mission so uh you know that uh 70 00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:55,680 that pretty much fills up a day and plus 71 00:03:00,390 --> 00:02:58,319 we also in order to keep our our 72 00:03:02,309 --> 00:03:00,400 our bodies in shape and to counteract 73 00:03:04,229 --> 00:03:02,319 the effects of microgravity we have to 74 00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:04,239 exercise about two hours a day too so 75 00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:14,070 what kind of exercise do you do 76 00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:15,910 we do a combination 77 00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:18,480 a combination of cardiovascular exercise 78 00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:21,440 on an exercise bicycle and also on a 79 00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:22,879 treadmill now how do you run on a 80 00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:24,879 treadmill in zero gravity wearing a 81 00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:27,280 harness and held down with bungee cords 82 00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:28,799 and we do weight lifting well weight 83 00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:30,400 lifting doesn't exactly make sense so 84 00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:32,560 it's a resistive exercise machine that 85 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:34,640 uses pressure cylinders so we can 86 00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:36,560 simulate you know pushing up against 87 00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:45,509 that is so cool next friday is the last 88 00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:49,360 time that atlantis uh will go up 89 00:03:53,509 --> 00:03:51,280 and then obviously you have to deal with 90 00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:53,519 the russians for a ride into space how 91 00:03:59,350 --> 00:03:55,840 do you feel about that 92 00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:01,910 well you know it's it's a necessary 93 00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:03,519 thing that we have to do to take that 94 00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:05,519 next step uh that next step will be to 95 00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:07,760 get outside of earth orbit to get out 96 00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:09,840 outside of low earth orbit and so in 97 00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,680 order to do that you know the funding 98 00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:13,280 environment that we lived in required us 99 00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:16,720 to to retire the space shuttle so um but 100 00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:18,639 it also brings out a very interesting 101 00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:20,400 part of the international space station 102 00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:21,680 and that's in the international 103 00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:24,320 cooperation that uh that came of it and 104 00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:26,400 you know 50 years ago one nation 105 00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:28,720 launched one man into space and now 106 00:04:32,390 --> 00:04:30,800 today you know 50 years later the six of 107 00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:32,400 us onboard the space station represent 108 00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:34,160 three different countries uh and we 109 00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:35,680 represent the 15 nations of our 110 00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:37,520 international partnership 111 00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:39,520 and so it's you know what started out as 112 00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:41,680 an antagonistic competition between two 113 00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:44,320 nations really has evolved into an 114 00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:45,840 amazing example of international 115 00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:47,280 cooperation so 116 00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:50,160 um through this next phase of 117 00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:52,720 the space program of space exploration 118 00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:54,560 we are going to be reliant on another 119 00:04:59,749 --> 00:04:57,440 nation namely russia to carry astronauts 120 00:05:00,790 --> 00:04:59,759 into space and to return to the earth 121 00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:00,800 but that 122 00:05:04,390 --> 00:05:02,400 is going to lead to something bigger and 123 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:04,400 better down the road 124 00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:07,680 of quick observations number one lack of 125 00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:09,600 spacesuits you guys are casual looks 126 00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:11,680 like you're ready for a weekend uh 127 00:05:15,110 --> 00:05:13,680 around the house that's fantastic things 128 00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:15,120 have changed over the past couple of 129 00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:17,360 decades do you ever get bored up there 130 00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:19,440 mike i mean you're in outer space going 131 00:05:23,270 --> 00:05:21,840 five miles a second but 132 00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:23,280 for months and months on end i would 133 00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:25,600 imagine even in space you can get bored 134 00:05:33,189 --> 00:05:31,590 well this is my third space flight i've 135 00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:33,199 had two short flights on the space 136 00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:35,280 shuttle and now i've just exceeded my 137 00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:36,720 time on the space shuttle a space 138 00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:38,400 shuttle missions no more than about two 139 00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:40,560 weeks so i'm just crossed that threshold 140 00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:43,199 now so i'm a new territory for me i have 141 00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:45,840 not had time to get bored yet but if if 142 00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:47,680 when you do get a free moment though 143 00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:49,680 what you really want to do is just go 144 00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:51,600 look out the window at the beautiful 145 00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:56,309 speaking of windows are those windows 146 00:06:00,309 --> 00:05:58,880 behind you i see two hatches two round 147 00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:00,319 objects it looks like there may be 148 00:06:04,390 --> 00:06:03,199 windows with the window shades drawn 149 00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:04,400 anyway we could take a peek out the 150 00:06:11,110 --> 00:06:06,960 window probably not but uh i don't know 151 00:06:15,029 --> 00:06:13,189 yeah we are in the japanese laboratory 152 00:06:16,950 --> 00:06:15,039 right now and those are two uh windows 153 00:06:18,469 --> 00:06:16,960 that look out this is uh 154 00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:18,479 it's a it's not we're on that we're on 155 00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:20,240 the dark side of the earth right now so 156 00:06:24,309 --> 00:06:21,440 we could open them but you won't see 157 00:06:26,230 --> 00:06:24,319 much this is a airlock that we can put 158 00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:26,240 experiments out into the vacuum of space 159 00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:27,840 and there's a platform out there a back 160 00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:29,840 porch if you will where we put 161 00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:31,440 experiments and there's a 162 00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:33,120 robotic arm right out there where we can 163 00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:35,680 reach in grab things out of the out of 164 00:06:38,550 --> 00:06:37,039 the airlock and put them out into the 165 00:06:39,990 --> 00:06:38,560 vacuum of space 166 00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:40,000 so these are just two of the many 167 00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:41,520 windows we have onboard the interhouse 168 00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:47,510 ron i follow you on twitter your updates 169 00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:50,080 are amazing astro underscore ron you

goal and a dream of many 211 00:09:02,949 --> 00:09:01,200 americans and we're lucky enough today 212 00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:02,959 to talk to two men who are living that 213 00:09:05,829 --> 00:09:04,720 dream the thing that a lot of us boys 214 00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:05,839 and girls would have liked to have done 215 00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:08,240 when we were younger joining us now from 216 00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:10,000 the international space station right 217 00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:12,480 now michael fossum and ron garan first 218 00:09:17,350 --> 00:09:13,839 of all gentlemen thank you so much for 219 00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:18,949 hey it's our pleasure to join you in 220 00:09:27,269 --> 00:09:25,350 all right uh michael i want to start 221 00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:27,279 with you since you are the uh the 222 00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:29,680 resident texan uh so to speak in the uh 223 00:09:33,509 --> 00:09:31,760 space station right now uh tell me a 224 00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:33,519 little bit about your background how you 225 00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:34,480 became 226 00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:36,480 a guy who graduated from texas a m went 227 00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:38,399 to mcgowan high school and is now you 228 00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:44,949 yeah daniel let out the secret that i'm 229 00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:46,320 an aggie i can't believe it now 230 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:48,880 everybody knows 231 00:09:52,389 --> 00:09:50,640 for me this has been this has been a 232 00:09:54,389 --> 00:09:52,399 dream since childhood and that that 233 00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:54,399 dream kind of led me to a m and then 234 00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:56,480 into the air force where i did 235 00:10:00,550 --> 00:09:58,399 advanced studies in engineering and got 236 00:10:02,389 --> 00:10:00,560 into the world of flight tests and uh 237 00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:02,399 one thing eventually led to another it 238 00:10:05,829 --> 00:10:03,680 was a kind of a 239 00:10:08,230 --> 00:10:05,839 half a lifetime of persistence and 240 00:10:11,910 --> 00:10:08,240 preparation and it's paying off huge now 241 00:10:15,430 --> 00:10:13,430 sounds like you certainly are ron let me 242 00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:15,440 ask you i think a lot of our viewers 243 00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:16,800 would like to know what do you do on a 244 00:10:19,590 --> 00:10:18,240 day-to-day basis i know you've been 245 00:10:21,269 --> 00:10:19,600 there for several months now i mean what 246 00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:21,279 kind of things are you guys doing up in 247 00:10:29,430 --> 00:10:27,670 well yeah i've been here for about 248 00:10:31,829 --> 00:10:29,440 three months now dan and 249 00:10:34,150 --> 00:10:31,839 you know a great part of our day is 250 00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:34,160 taken up with science you know we are in 251 00:10:37,990 --> 00:10:36,000 the process right now of utilizing this 252 00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:38,000 incredible orbital complex 253 00:10:41,430 --> 00:10:40,000 that was built specifically to perform 254 00:10:43,670 --> 00:10:41,440 the kind of science that you simply 255 00:10:45,430 --> 00:10:43,680 can't do on the earth so a good portion 256 00:10:47,030 --> 00:10:45,440 of our day is a scientific 257 00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:47,040 experimentation 258 00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:48,640 we're kind of lab assistants with 259 00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:50,560 researchers on the ground 260 00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:52,720 a portion of our day is just simply 261 00:10:56,150 --> 00:10:54,320 maintaining the space station keeping it 262 00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:56,160 running keeping everything ship shape if 263 00:10:59,670 --> 00:10:57,519 you will 264 00:11:01,590 --> 00:10:59,680 we need to exercise every day to 265 00:11:02,790 --> 00:11:01,600 counteract the effects of microgravity 266 00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:02,800 on our bodies 267 00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:04,640 and so you know those things pretty much 268 00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:06,399 take up uh take up a whole day and keep 269 00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:12,069 ron i gotta ask you we're also excited 270 00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:14,079 uh 271 00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:20,949 we do a combination of resistive 272 00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:22,959 exercise we have an exercise bicycle 273 00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:24,720 much like you might have at home or in a 274 00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:26,720 gym we have a treadmill too but that 275 00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:28,480 one's been modified so we're wearing a 276 00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:30,800 harness and have bungee cords that 277 00:11:34,870 --> 00:11:32,560 literally hold us down so we can run on 278 00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:34,880 that surface and for weightlifting well 279 00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:36,480 weightlifting doesn't make much sense 280 00:11:40,389 --> 00:11:38,640 and so we use a resistive exercise 281 00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:40,399 machine that's got pressure cylinders 282 00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:42,480 it's kind of like a universal gym 283 00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:44,800 that allows us to get a very good very 284 00:11:51,509 --> 00:11:49,990 ron you were mentioning it earlier 285 00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:51,519 talking about the experiments you guys 286 00:11:54,629 --> 00:11:53,200 are doing what can can you give us a 287 00:11:58,629 --> 00:11:54,639 couple examples of the things you guys 288 00:12:03,030 --> 00:12:01,269 yeah you got a few hours um we've got 289 00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:03,040 we've got quite a few experiments going 290 00:12:07,110 --> 00:12:05,040 on we've got experiments in pro and 291 00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:07,120 protein crystal growth that could 292 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:09,360 potentially lead to new medicines 293 00:12:14,629 --> 00:12:11,519 we've got a camera operating right now 294 00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:14,639 that's taken pictures of different 295 00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:17,120 crop growing areas of the world 296 00:12:21,350 --> 00:12:19,600 specifically in the northern regions and 297 00:12:24,069 --> 00:12:21,360 short growing seasons 298 00:12:25,990 --> 00:12:24,079 we've got experiments looking at the uh 299 00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:26,000 to try and better understand the earth's 300 00:12:29,030 --> 00:12:26,800 core 301 00:12:30,949 --> 00:12:29,040 uh to hopefully be able to lead to 302 00:12:33,829 --> 00:12:30,959 better ways of predicting natural 303 00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:33,839 disasters like volcanoes and earthquakes 304 00:12:37,110 --> 00:12:35,920 a lot of medical research we're looking 305 00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:37,120 into uh 306 00:12:42,389 --> 00:12:40,160 battling uh things like osteoporosis 307 00:12:44,550 --> 00:12:42,399 vaccine development we've recently made 308 00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:44,560 some breakthroughs in 309 00:12:49,670 --> 00:12:47,360 salmonella vaccines so the list goes on 310 00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:49,680 and on um 311 00:12:52,949 --> 00:12:51,200 like i said it would take a few hours to 312 00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:52,959 describe them all but 313 00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:55,680 you know 99.9 of all the experiments 314 00:12:58,550 --> 00:12:57,040 that we're are doing on the space 315 00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:58,560 station are going to directly benefit 316 00:13:01,670 --> 00:12:59,760 planet earth and the inhabitants of 317 00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:01,680 planet earth so it's a it's a really 318 00:13:06,310 --> 00:13:03,440 important orbital facility that we have 319 00:13:08,230 --> 00:13:06,320 up here 320 00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:08,240 that sounds really fascinating before i 321 00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:09,760 get out of here let me i give you guys 322 00:13:13,030 --> 00:13:11,120 both an opportunity to say hello to 323 00:13:14,310 --> 00:13:13,040 anyone and i guess michael if you wanted 324 00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:14,320 to give a little gig i'm sure some of 325 00:13:24,550 --> 00:13:22,310 oh yeah well ron
