1
00:00:08,070 --> 00:00:04,550
station this is houston on space ground

2
00:00:09,589 --> 00:00:08,080
two are you ready for the event

3
00:00:12,629 --> 00:00:09,599
for the event

4
00:00:13,990 --> 00:00:12,639
welcome aboard the international space

5
00:00:15,829 --> 00:00:14,000
station

6
00:00:21,429 --> 00:00:15,839
stennis space center this is houston

7
00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:23,590
station this is stennis space center can

8
00:00:31,429 --> 00:00:30,390
stannis space center we've got you loud

9
00:00:42,389 --> 00:00:31,439
and clear welcome aboard the

10
00:00:47,029 --> 00:00:44,950
hello my name is kenley from hancock

11
00:00:55,029 --> 00:00:47,039
north central elementary my question is

12
00:00:59,590 --> 00:00:56,869
i'm sorry can you say the question one

13
00:01:02,389 --> 00:00:59,600
more time

14
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:02,399
observe the difference between mass and

15
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:03,440
weight

16
00:01:12,469 --> 00:01:10,070
do we notice the difference between mass

17
00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:12,479
and and weight in space we do

18
00:01:15,109 --> 00:01:13,439
um

19
00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:15,119
in in space

20
00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:17,200
in order to get something moving you

21
00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:19,119
have to put some force in to get it

22
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:21,200
moving but what happens is once it

23
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:22,880
starts moving you have to put that same

24
00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:25,360
amount of force uh to stop it so when

25
00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:27,119
we're outside on a spacewalk and we have

26
00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:29,119
these big heavy suits on you know it

27
00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:31,200
takes some effort to get uh to get

28
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:33,680
ourselves moving uh but then it takes

29
00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:35,280
the same amount of effort to stop as

30
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:37,119
well so it's uh that's something a

31
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:38,720
little bit different than we see on

32
00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:47,109
hello my name is anthony

33
00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:49,439
from bay williamson middle school and i

34
00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:51,759
have a question for mike

35
00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:54,240
what are some difficulties you would

36
00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:57,119
experience in zero gravity

37
00:02:01,670 --> 00:01:59,360
without expecting before experiencing

38
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:01,680
them for yourself

39
00:02:08,869 --> 00:02:03,200
i mean that you wouldn't expect before

40
00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:11,270
hey that's a great question i think for

41
00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:13,599
me the biggest surprise

42
00:02:18,229 --> 00:02:16,720
was how easy it is to lose things

43
00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:18,239
we've been up here for over two months

44
00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:19,520
almost two and a half months and we're

45
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:21,120
still losing things and what's different

46
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:23,360
is when you drop something on earth

47
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:25,360
you look around your feet because you

48
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:27,120
know that it falls to the floor it might

49
00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:29,040
roll into a corner or something but you

50
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:31,599
know to start searching around your feet

51
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:33,599
here when you drop something it can go

52
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:36,800
in any direction

53
00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:38,640
and so it could go hide in a corner of

54
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:40,560
the ceiling or the wall or somewhere

55
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:43,840
else and so it it makes finding things

56
00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:55,830
hello my name is nathan from our lady of

57
00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:57,360
prom shopper school

58
00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:00,480
and my question is for satoshi

59
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:02,480
how do you sleep in space with little

60
00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:11,910
okay we we sleep in uh normal sleeping

61
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:14,239
bags in each crew quarter

62
00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:16,480
the crew quarter is about

63
00:03:24,949 --> 00:03:23,120
3.5 feet wide 3.5 feet long and 6.5 feet

64
00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:24,959
tall and

65
00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:26,640
we sleep well

66
00:03:31,750 --> 00:03:29,680
when i close my eyes uh in a

67
00:03:34,229 --> 00:03:31,760
free-floating sleeping bag under

68
00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:34,239
microgravity i have a strange feeling

69
00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:35,840
that i cannot

70
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:38,239
recognize my body orientation with

71
00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:40,480
reference to the space station because

72
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,120
nothing but a sleeping bag is touching

73
00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:45,360
my body

74
00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:54,229
um my name is valerie um

75
00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:57,040
from vancleaf middle school and my

76
00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:58,799
question is for ron

77
00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:00,959
um what do you do

78
00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:05,360
for entertainment or are you too busy

79
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:06,720
just doing

80
00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:13,830
well valerie we are very busy up here

81
00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:15,280
but we we have to have time for

82
00:04:19,270 --> 00:04:17,359
relaxation and for fun too and and

83
00:04:20,789 --> 00:04:19,280
probably the best thing to do up here is

84
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:20,799
to simply look out the window and look

85
00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:22,639
at the earth and you know we've been

86
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:24,560
given this beautiful beautiful planet

87
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,479
and it never gets boring to sit at the

88
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:28,560
window or float out the window and and

89
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:30,240
look at the earth go by it's just

90
00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:32,320
amazing whether it's in the you know in

91
00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:33,840
the day part of the orbit or the night

92
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,960
part of the orbit there's always

93
00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:36,479
something spectacular to see whether

94
00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:38,720
it's lightning or or seeing shooting

95
00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:42,240
stars from above or or the auroras uh

96
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:43,840
seeing the the continents and the

97
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:45,440
mountains it's just it's just very very

98
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:46,720
beautiful

99
00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:48,720
we also

100
00:04:53,189 --> 00:04:50,960
are able to communicate

101
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:53,199
via things like twitter

102
00:04:57,510 --> 00:04:55,600
so we we do that for fun as well and and

103
00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:57,520
and use that to try and share this

104
00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:59,680
experience with everybody as best we can

105
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:01,280
so those are some of the things that we

106
00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:03,840
do for fun up here and uh you know it's

107
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:06,080
a wonderful place to live and work so

108
00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:08,240
uh and we got the greatest view in the

109
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:17,990
hi i'm matt hello my name is bryce from

110
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:20,160
blue river middle school and my question

111
00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:22,080
is for mike

112
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:24,560
how does the stars on planets how do the

113
00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:33,990
was that how do the stars look from

114
00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:43,029
okay how do the stars and planets look

115
00:05:49,110 --> 00:05:46,720
from space you know amazing i i've grown

116
00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:49,120
up loving to go out and look at the

117
00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:50,639
night sky and look at the stars and

118
00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:52,800
where i grew up in south texas you

119
00:05:56,309 --> 00:05:54,240
couldn't see that many i mean you get

120
00:05:58,230 --> 00:05:56,319
out away from the the towns and cities

121
00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:58,240
and you can see more i remember the

122
00:06:02,230 --> 00:05:59,759
first time i looked at the stars from

123
00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:02,240
the mountains where it was clear skies

124
00:06:07,189 --> 00:06:05,120
clear night and how many more stars i

125
00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:07,199
could see it's a big jump a big change

126
00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:09,520
well up here it's the same kind of even

127
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,360
bigger change from where it is on the

128
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:13,600
tallest mountains to space where the

129
00:06:18,309 --> 00:06:16,319
stars are just innumerable and the big

130
00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:18,319
difference is they don't they don't

131
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:20,479
twinkle they're steady and when you

132
00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:22,560
really look at them for a little while

133
00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:24,400
you can definitely see the colors

134
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:25,840
particularly the red ones they have a

135
00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:28,400
little red tint that really stands out i

136
00:06:33,029 --> 00:06:30,479
love looking at the night sky in space

137
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:33,039
too and the planets here

138
00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:35,600
look like just bigger brighter stars but

139
00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:37,039
you can track them as you're watching

140
00:06:40,309 --> 00:06:38,639
from night to night just like you can

141
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:40,319
from home you can see you know

142
00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:42,000
particularly the ones that are in closer

143
00:06:45,909 --> 00:06:44,160
to us that their position changing

144
00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:45,919
relative to the stars that's a lot of

145
00:06:56,309 --> 00:06:54,150
hi my name is kaley from vancleaf middle

146
00:06:58,710 --> 00:06:56,319
school and my question is what is the

147
00:07:05,510 --> 00:06:58,720
most difficult thing to do while you are

148
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:06,390
okay

149
00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:11,520
easy to do multiple somersaults under

150
00:07:18,710 --> 00:07:16,000
microgravity and it is difficult to

151
00:07:21,990 --> 00:07:18,720
land perfectly after that

152
00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:22,000
because due to the law of inertia it is

153
00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:30,469
stand by while he demonstrates

154
00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:31,199
sure

155
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:47,830
we'll protect it

156
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:55,909
see how difficult it is

157
00:08:00,869 --> 00:07:58,309
hello my name is morgan from hancock

158
00:08:03,189 --> 00:08:00,879
north central illinois school and my

159
00:08:05,189 --> 00:08:03,199
question is for ron how does the space

160
00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:05,199
station stay in orbit without falling

161
00:08:13,029 --> 00:08:11,189
well morgan that's a good question it

162
00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:13,039
actually is falling back to earth this

163
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:15,120
whole big giant structure which weighs

164
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:17,440
almost a million pounds is falling back

165
00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:19,120
to earth but the the reason why it

166
00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:20,879
doesn't hit the earth or the reason why

167
00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:22,240
it doesn't even get any closer to the

168
00:08:24,950 --> 00:08:24,000
earth is because we are traveling so

169
00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:24,960
fast

170
00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:26,800
that they're that the you know the earth

171
00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:28,879
curves away from us as we're going going

172
00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:30,000
by so

173
00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:31,520
uh you know we're traveling at five

174
00:08:36,469 --> 00:08:33,760
miles a second so that is really really

175
00:08:38,389 --> 00:08:36,479
fast so because of that velocity we

176
00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:38,399
never really get any closer to the earth

177
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:48,389
hello my name is nathan from marley prom

178
00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:50,560
soccer school and my question is from

179
00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:53,279
mike how do you eat and drink in space

180
00:09:00,310 --> 00:08:55,440
shouldn't your foods just in drinks just

181
00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:02,070
hey nathan that's that's a good question

182
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:04,320
you know it's not as hard as you think

183
00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:06,880
to to eat and drink in space and i think

184
00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:09,600
for this one you know we really ought to

185
00:09:18,710 --> 00:09:11,839
we really ought to get in close and and

186
00:09:22,550 --> 00:09:21,030
okay and we're gonna we're gonna we're

187
00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:22,560
going to just show you how you can eat

188
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:24,720
in space here okay stand by keep

189
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:40,470
here we go

190
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,670
okay that's

191
00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:47,350
sorry

192
00:09:53,829 --> 00:09:50,399
all right

193
00:09:56,150 --> 00:09:53,839
now drinking in space is different

194
00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:56,160
because we we can't drink out of a cup

195
00:10:00,550 --> 00:09:58,240
it would just float out of the cup

196
00:10:01,590 --> 00:10:00,560
and so all of our drinks are in bags

197
00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:01,600
like this

198
00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:03,120
which kind of takes some of the joy out

199
00:10:06,069 --> 00:10:04,720
of a morning cup of coffee until you get

200
00:10:08,069 --> 00:10:06,079
used to it

201
00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:08,079
but you can have even things like orange

202
00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:10,560
juice right here inside this pouch and

203
00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:12,399
i'm going to demonstrate you know what

204
00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:14,160
happens to liquids in zero g and i'm

205
00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:15,519
going to hand over the microphone while

206
00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:28,389
okay so mike is squeezing the the bag

207
00:10:32,230 --> 00:10:30,320
that's filled with orange juice

208
00:10:34,069 --> 00:10:32,240
and you see that there's a bubble coming

209
00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:34,079
out of the top of the straw and there's

210
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:36,160
something called surface tension that

211
00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:37,680
causes it to

212
00:10:43,670 --> 00:10:41,200
form an almost perfect sphere and if

213
00:10:45,829 --> 00:10:43,680
if he's good which i know he is

214
00:10:47,430 --> 00:10:45,839
he'll be able to drink that entire

215
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:47,440
bubble of orange juice without making a

216
00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:48,320
mess

217
00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:50,320
there's no strings attached anywhere on

218
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:53,519
the bubble of orange juice apparently

219
00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:55,120
all right how about a big round of

220
00:11:06,230 --> 00:10:56,959
applause for

221
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:07,750
hello my name is samantha locke from

222
00:11:12,069 --> 00:11:09,839
vancleve middle school and my question

223
00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:12,079
is from mr satoshi

224
00:11:21,030 --> 00:11:14,399
what is it what season is it mostly like

225
00:11:26,389 --> 00:11:24,710
okay it is like spring or autumn

226
00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:26,399
because the temperature inside of the

227
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:29,920
state station is controlled to about 70

228
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:32,240
degrees all the time

229
00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:34,640
and it is of course comfortable

230
00:11:39,670 --> 00:11:37,120
and on the other hand i miss the sense

231
00:11:42,389 --> 00:11:39,680
of the uh of the seasons

232
00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:42,399
and i miss summer because i live in a

233
00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:54,710
hello my name is ethan from our lady

234
00:11:57,829 --> 00:11:56,399
palm soccer school and my question is

235
00:11:59,750 --> 00:11:57,839
for ron

236
00:12:02,150 --> 00:11:59,760
have you ever thrown a football in space

237
00:12:07,269 --> 00:12:02,160
and how does the lack of effects from

238
00:12:10,790 --> 00:12:09,269
well ethan i have thrown a football in

239
00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:10,800
space and

240
00:12:14,629 --> 00:12:12,480
you know you don't realize it but your

241
00:12:16,949 --> 00:12:14,639
brain has learned to compensate for

242
00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:16,959
gravity so when you throw a football

243
00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:19,040
your brain knows i can't just throw it

244
00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:21,200
in a straight line that i have to throw

245
00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:23,040
it a little bit higher so that when the

246
00:12:26,069 --> 00:12:24,720
gravity takes you know when it starts to

247
00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:26,079
the gravity starts to react on the

248
00:12:28,949 --> 00:12:27,680
football it's going to eventually hit

249
00:12:30,710 --> 00:12:28,959
the target you take

250
00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:30,720
your brain subconsciously takes that

251
00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:33,040
into account so the first time i threw a

252
00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:35,440
football in space it went really really

253
00:12:39,590 --> 00:12:37,040
high because

254
00:12:41,509 --> 00:12:39,600
my brain still thought i i needed to

255
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:41,519
compensate for gravity which it didn't

256
00:12:45,829 --> 00:12:43,120
but it takes you a while to get used to

257
00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:45,839
it but you could basically you just

258
00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:47,839
throw directly at what you're what

259
00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:49,360
you're looking at what you're aiming for

260
00:12:52,949 --> 00:12:50,720
and it goes right there on a straight

261
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:52,959
line without any without any problems

262
00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:54,880
whatsoever so it's it's a lot of fun to

263
00:13:03,030 --> 00:12:55,760
play with

264
00:13:07,990 --> 00:13:05,350
hello my name is garrett from bay waver

265
00:13:15,509 --> 00:13:08,000
middle school my question is for mike is

266
00:13:18,069 --> 00:13:16,790
hey garrett

267
00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:18,079
great question

268
00:13:21,350 --> 00:13:20,160
is it hard to adjust to zero gravity you

269
00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:21,360
know it takes a little bit of an

270
00:13:24,790 --> 00:13:23,120
adjustment as you figure out how to how

271
00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:24,800
to live and work up here because like

272
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:26,480
we've said in so many ways it doesn't

273
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:29,360
work the same uh your food does swell i

274
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:31,040
mean when you swallow it goes down just

275
00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:32,800
like you can stand on your head right

276
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:35,360
now and drink water through a straw and

277
00:13:39,590 --> 00:13:37,760
you could swallow it up where it goes up

278
00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:39,600
into your stomach

279
00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:40,800
at first

280
00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:42,240
probably one of the things everybody

281
00:13:46,790 --> 00:13:44,240
notices is a fluid shift because on

282
00:13:49,189 --> 00:13:46,800
earth gravity is pulling down on your

283
00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:49,199
blood and other fluids and organs in

284
00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:51,839
your body and it's pulling them down

285
00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:54,240
and up here without that gravity pulling

286
00:13:59,110 --> 00:13:57,040
the fluid down it just floats back up

287
00:14:01,189 --> 00:13:59,120
and it kind of feels like your head is

288
00:14:02,470 --> 00:14:01,199
full and has some pressure just like if

289
00:14:05,189 --> 00:14:02,480
you were hanging

290
00:14:07,269 --> 00:14:05,199
by your knees from a from a chin up bar

291
00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:07,279
or a tree branch hanging upside down and

292
00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:09,120
you feel that blood coming to your head

293
00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:11,040
and your kind of head starts to pound a

294
00:14:13,509 --> 00:14:12,320
little bit and your eyes feel like

295
00:14:16,389 --> 00:14:13,519
they're bulging a little bit because

296
00:14:18,629 --> 00:14:16,399
they really are and we feel that up here

297
00:14:20,230 --> 00:14:18,639
for you know a week or two

298
00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:20,240
when we first get up here until our

299
00:14:33,430 --> 00:14:31,189
hi my name is grace and i am from

300
00:14:39,829 --> 00:14:33,440
hancock north central elementary and my

301
00:14:45,189 --> 00:14:41,189
what is it like

302
00:14:52,389 --> 00:14:45,199
living with a crew from other countries

303
00:14:56,870 --> 00:14:54,389
that's a great question

304
00:14:59,189 --> 00:14:56,880
it is fun to live and work with crew

305
00:15:02,629 --> 00:14:59,199
members from different countries

306
00:15:05,269 --> 00:15:02,639
we learn russian language and russian

307
00:15:06,949 --> 00:15:05,279
colleagues and i learn english

308
00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:06,959
and the crew members

309
00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:09,440
sometimes talk in english and sometimes

310
00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:10,720
in russian

311
00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:13,680
and learning a foreign language is very

312
00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:16,399
interesting because you learn not only

313
00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:18,560
the language but also different culture

314
00:15:33,269 --> 00:15:31,430
hello my name is ashlynn from hancock

315
00:15:35,749 --> 00:15:33,279
north central elementary school and my

316
00:15:37,110 --> 00:15:35,759
question is for ron

317
00:15:39,269 --> 00:15:37,120
do you ever

318
00:15:46,389 --> 00:15:39,279
do you feel like you're falling when

319
00:15:50,710 --> 00:15:49,110
well ashley um you really don't

320
00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:50,720
at least at least i didn't i didn't feel

321
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:52,639
like i was fallen because you're that

322
00:15:56,470 --> 00:15:54,720
you know the space station is this big

323
00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:56,480
giant structure

324
00:16:00,230 --> 00:15:58,320
and as far as you can tell it's not

325
00:16:01,590 --> 00:16:00,240
moving i mean you see the earth moving

326
00:16:02,949 --> 00:16:01,600
uh below you

327
00:16:05,030 --> 00:16:02,959
uh but

328
00:16:06,949 --> 00:16:05,040
you in relation to the to the space

329
00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:06,959
station there's really no emotion the

330
00:16:10,949 --> 00:16:08,639
only motion is the motion that you put

331
00:16:13,910 --> 00:16:10,959
in by by going from one place to the

332
00:16:15,829 --> 00:16:13,920
other so you get this feeling that the

333
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:15,839
space station is staying right where it

334
00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:17,519
is and everything else around you is

335
00:16:21,350 --> 00:16:19,440
moving so it's a it's a really

336
00:16:23,430 --> 00:16:21,360
interesting sensation

337
00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:23,440
but the the other thing that really kind

338
00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:25,440
of takes over everything is this

339
00:16:29,430 --> 00:16:27,199
unbelievable view that you have of the

340
00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:29,440
earth as it's going by at five miles a

341
00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:31,839
second uh and you know occasionally when

342
00:16:35,430 --> 00:16:34,000
you get the opportunity to look down and

343
00:16:38,069 --> 00:16:35,440
take in what you're seeing it's really

344
00:16:40,470 --> 00:16:38,079
spectacular and so uh you know i never

345
00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:40,480
never had the sensation of falling uh

346
00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:42,959
just had the sensation of uh you know

347
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:54,870
mike says he never looks down

348
00:16:58,629 --> 00:16:56,550
hello my name is robert from bay

349
00:17:01,030 --> 00:16:58,639
wavelength middle school and my question

350
00:17:09,669 --> 00:17:01,040
is for mike does the whole moon ever get

351
00:17:13,429 --> 00:17:11,590
is that the does the moon ever get dark

352
00:17:15,750 --> 00:17:13,439
when looking at it from the iss i think

353
00:17:17,909 --> 00:17:15,760
the the moon really looks the same up

354
00:17:20,069 --> 00:17:17,919
here as it does from earth

355
00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:20,079
you know i talked about light enjoying

356
00:17:23,990 --> 00:17:22,160
looking at the night sky i really love

357
00:17:25,909 --> 00:17:24,000
looking at the moon and i would spend

358
00:17:28,069 --> 00:17:25,919
time looking at the moon with binoculars

359
00:17:29,909 --> 00:17:28,079
from my home and studying the different

360
00:17:32,549 --> 00:17:29,919
shadows that you can see each night as

361
00:17:34,470 --> 00:17:32,559
that line of light and darkness moves

362
00:17:35,990 --> 00:17:34,480
you could see different craters

363
00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:36,000
i really looked forward to seeing the

364
00:17:39,830 --> 00:17:37,760
moon the first time i was looking out of

365
00:17:41,590 --> 00:17:39,840
a window in space i couldn't wait to see

366
00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:41,600
the moon because we're closer right and

367
00:17:45,430 --> 00:17:43,440
then i was really disappointed

368
00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:45,440
because the moon looked the same and

369
00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:48,400
then i realized we were 200 miles

370
00:17:53,830 --> 00:17:50,720
further up in space about 200 miles up

371
00:17:55,110 --> 00:17:53,840
off the ground well the moon is 230 000

372
00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:55,120
miles away

373
00:17:58,470 --> 00:17:56,799
so we're only a tiny bit closer and the

374
00:18:04,870 --> 00:17:58,480
moon really looks a whole lot the same

375
00:18:09,110 --> 00:18:07,190
hello my name is austin from vancleave

376
00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:09,120
middle school and my question is for

377
00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:10,559
satoshi

378
00:18:18,710 --> 00:18:12,640
does it get hot whenever the sunlight

379
00:18:21,590 --> 00:18:19,669
yes

380
00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:21,600
the temperature of the surface

381
00:18:27,029 --> 00:18:24,400
temperature can become more than 210

382
00:18:28,390 --> 00:18:27,039
degrees fahrenheit when sun hits the

383
00:18:31,190 --> 00:18:28,400
space station

384
00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:31,200
and also it can be cold

385
00:18:37,909 --> 00:18:35,440
less than minus 150 degrees fahrenheit

386
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:37,919
and the space station is well thermally

387
00:18:42,310 --> 00:18:40,000
controlled so that the inside of the

388
00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:42,320
space station temperature is controlled

389
00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:45,120
to 70 degrees fahrenheit all the time

390
00:18:57,190 --> 00:18:55,510
station this is stennis space center

391
00:18:58,870 --> 00:18:57,200
