prime minister and minister of the

11
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:52,399
ministry of education science and

12
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:54,879
technology prime minister please

13
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:58,800
dr furuka uh i am naotokan prime

14
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:00,960
minister of japan

15
00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:03,520
and it is

16
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:06,320
a very happy opportunity for me to be

17
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:09,200
connected with iss

18
00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:10,400
as i would like to ask the prime

19
00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:13,280
minister ask his question

20
00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:17,280
allow me to first ask this question

21
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:19,119
when i was a child

22
00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:22,560
i wanted to become an astronaut or

23
00:01:30,469 --> 00:01:25,439
and become an engineer to fly rockets to

24
00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:32,230
being on a spaceship

25
00:01:40,630 --> 00:01:34,159
and observing the earth

26
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:43,030
what do you feel

27
00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:44,960
i think it's impossible for us to

28
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:47,520
observe the earth and being on earth but

29
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:50,320
watching observing the earth as well as

30
00:01:59,830 --> 00:01:53,280
the moon and sun from your spaceship

31
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:01,749
thank you very much for your question um

32
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:03,600
it is a great honor for me to be able to

33
00:02:08,469 --> 00:02:05,360
speak with prime minister

34
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:08,479
well when i observe the earth it's blue

35
00:02:12,630 --> 00:02:11,599
and beautiful during the daytime

36
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:12,640
but

37
00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:14,560
what impressed me most

38
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:18,160
is at the edge of the earth we see this

39
00:02:21,750 --> 00:02:19,840
atmosphere

40
00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:21,760
layer which is

41
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:24,239
colored deep blue and this

42
00:02:30,949 --> 00:02:27,840
layer is protecting the earth and

43
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:30,959
we have to preserve this earth which is

44
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:32,879
indispensable to us

45
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:34,239
now the sun

46
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:37,120
yes it's very bright and it's

47
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:41,280
white to yellowish color and it is very

48
00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:43,440
powerful muscular

49
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:45,360
um and also

50
00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:48,720
sometimes appears to be very violent

51
00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:51,920
and um when we're on the surface of the

52
00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:54,080
space station um

53
00:03:00,149 --> 00:02:56,879
um it is more than 100 degrees celsius

54
00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:00,159
and um in the sunlight and about minus

55
00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:04,000
100 centimeter centigrade um in the dark

56
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:06,080
and yes i think

57
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:08,080
that the moon is quite similar to the

58
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:14,790
thank you very much

59
00:03:19,589 --> 00:03:17,840
i also remember how the earth

60
00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:19,599
how i observe the earth from the

61
00:03:25,190 --> 00:03:22,640
spaceship as well might also invite mr

62
00:03:27,990 --> 00:03:25,200
takagi the minister of education science

63
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:28,000
and technology to ask the question i had

64
00:03:32,229 --> 00:03:30,239
a chance to see you in may it's been

65
00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:32,239
three months since then thank you for

66
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:34,000
the great work that you did first and

67
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:37,440
foremost as you became the astronaut

68
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:39,920
it you spent 12 years before you made

69
00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:43,360
the first trip to the space so you spent

70
00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:45,120
many years going through lots of

71
00:03:50,229 --> 00:03:48,239
trainings and so you must be a person

72
00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:50,239
with much with a lot of patience and

73
00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:52,959
also perseverance how were you able to

74
00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:53,920
survive

75
00:03:58,149 --> 00:03:55,680
these many years going through all these

76
00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:58,159
trainings

77
00:04:01,830 --> 00:04:00,480
i really wanted to work

78
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:01,840
in space

79
00:04:05,670 --> 00:04:03,920
i had this passion and termination and

80
00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:05,680
that support me to

81
00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:07,360
go through all these 12 years and

82
00:04:12,869 --> 00:04:10,640
certainly in retrospect um 12 years was

83
00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:12,879
a very long period of time so

84
00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:15,120
a kid who was born when i started

85
00:04:20,469 --> 00:04:18,000
training is now a sixth grader

86
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:20,479
and after the uh the accident of the

87
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:23,840
colombia in 2003 of course we felt

88
00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:26,560
completely at a loss and i personally

89
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:27,840
did not

90
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:30,240
was not able to foresee how things would

91
00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:32,880
develop going forward however i thought

92
00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:35,280
that it wouldn't do any good if i

93
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:36,960
because if i just keep worrying about

94
00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:39,520
something that i cannot control myself i

95
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:41,440
thought i should just do whatever i can

96
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:42,800
and then tomorrow is going to be a

97
00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:45,040
better day than today and i thought that

98
00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:47,280
i'll be able to come closer to my

99
00:04:51,990 --> 00:04:49,440
objective and i think that paid off

100
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:52,000
thank you very much for your question

101
00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:54,320
thank you so much

102
00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:56,160
thank you very much um we would like to

103
00:05:00,390 --> 00:04:58,240
ask the prime minister and minister to

104
00:05:01,990 --> 00:05:00,400
ask questions later on and now we are

105
00:05:04,390 --> 00:05:02,000
joined by six children from the

106
00:05:07,189 --> 00:05:04,400
earthquake-stricken areas

107
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:07,199
and they will join us now

108
00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:08,160
please

109
00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:15,430
my name is shino kikochi i'm second

110
00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:17,280
grader of the fukushima university

111
00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:19,280
affiliated primary school

112
00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:21,120
many of my friends from kushima have

113
00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:23,680
evacuated from their homes

114
00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:25,039
i hear

115
00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:27,440
the radiation level in outer space is

116
00:05:35,110 --> 00:05:29,360
higher than that on earth aren't you

117
00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:38,230
that is a very good question thank you

118
00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:40,160
at iss

119
00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:41,600
here

120
00:05:49,029 --> 00:05:43,560
we have between

121
00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:49,039
0.5 to 1 millisievert of exposure and so

122
00:05:54,150 --> 00:05:52,080
it is between 100 to 500 millisievert

123
00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:54,160
during six months of stay but i'm not

124
00:05:59,270 --> 00:05:56,560
scared this is the environment that i am

125
00:06:01,909 --> 00:05:59,280
in right now but i'm contacting various

126
00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:01,919
scientific experiments to make people's

127
00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:05,039
lives better and also try to make the

128
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:07,280
preparation so that everyone can travel

129
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,280
easily to space in the future thank you

130
00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:13,600
next mr ishibata

131
00:06:18,309 --> 00:06:16,160
yes my name is kay ishibata i'm a second

132
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:18,319
grader of a junior high school affiliate

133
00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:20,880
with fukushima university in space where

134
00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:28,710
well thank you very much for your

135
00:06:33,670 --> 00:06:31,039
question as well now radiation comes

136
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:33,680
from different places one of them is

137
00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:35,680
actually coming from the sun

138
00:06:39,029 --> 00:06:37,120
the sun

139
00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:39,039
is of course a very good planet that

140
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:42,400
gives us the heat as well as the energy

141
00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:45,120
however it does also emit the radiation

142
00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:47,039
as well and also sun radiation comes

143
00:06:52,870 --> 00:06:50,080
from the outside of the

144
00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:52,880
sun system as well so we are exposed to

145
00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:55,360
different types of

146
00:07:00,150 --> 00:06:57,599
radiation in addition to

147
00:07:03,270 --> 00:07:00,160
x-ray and also gamma we also get other

148
00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:03,280
types of radiation as well and so we are

149
00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:07,039
at iss is also doing some study as to

150
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:09,120
what kinds of radiation is coming with

151
00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:11,440
at what particular magnitude and when in

152
00:07:16,309 --> 00:07:14,240
particular man travels to the mars of

153
00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:16,319
course the radiation is a very critical

154
00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:18,880
issue and so how to protect the people

155
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:21,280
from the radiation exposure through

156
00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:22,560
medicine as well as the food is

157
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:23,919
something that we are studying thank you

158
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:26,319
for the good question

159
00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:28,080
next miss fujita

160
00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:31,199
and from iraq prefecture

161
00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:32,639
my name is

162
00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:34,800
new fujita from

163
00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:38,240
old municipal primary school

164
00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:40,160
when there was a blackout due to

165
00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:41,599
earthquake we experienced a number of

166
00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:43,680
difficulties and yet at night when i

167
00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:46,160
went outside the sky was

168
00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:48,080
beautiful filled with stars i'd never

169
00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:49,440
seen before

170
00:08:00,629 --> 00:07:51,840
is the difference in the stars you see

171
00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:04,070
yes i myself um i have gone to the

172
00:08:10,309 --> 00:08:07,680
mountains in a remote area um to train

173
00:08:13,029 --> 00:08:10,319
and it was like a jewel box the stars in

174
00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:13,039
the sky likewise in space we can see a

175
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:15,120
number of stars but there is one

176
00:08:20,550 --> 00:08:17,440
difference in out in space

177
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:20,560
the stars in space that we observe from

178
00:08:25,029 --> 00:08:22,479
here do not glitter

179
00:08:27,510 --> 00:08:25,039
well in on earth we can see the stars

180
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:27,520
glittering because of the atmosphere

181
00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:29,520
but in outer space we can see a lot of

182
00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:32,240
stars but they do not glitter like we

183
00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:35,039
see on earth so from that perspective i

184
00:08:41,589 --> 00:08:37,039
think it's more romantic to observe

185
00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:45,269
thank you very much next mr oikawa

186
00:08:49,590 --> 00:08:47,440
well due to the march 11th earthquake

187
00:08:52,230 --> 00:08:49,600
the power and water supply got stopped

188
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:52,240
and we also experienced experienced food

189
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:55,360
shortage we felt very anxious and secure

190
00:09:00,790 --> 00:08:57,839
scared and yet we helped each other to

191
00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:00,800
overcome the situation at isf

192
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:03,040
due to some unexpected situations such

193
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:05,920
as blackout and the food shortage do you

194
00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:15,110
thank you very much for your good

195
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:16,560
question

196
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:22,240
feel uneasy because we astronauts have

197
00:09:28,389 --> 00:09:24,880
gone through many trainings and about 80

198
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:28,399
to 90 percent of the trainings is to

199
00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:30,640
prepare ourselves for the emergency

200
00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:33,279
situations we are trained very well as

201
00:09:37,509 --> 00:09:35,040
to how we should be coping with the

202
00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:37,519
emergency situations that's why we don't

203
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:41,440
feel uneasy and more than us it is the

204
00:09:46,389 --> 00:09:43,360
people in the control tower on the

205
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:46,399
ground that have gone through even more

206
00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:48,560
trainings they are even better trained

207
00:09:54,949 --> 00:09:50,560
and because we are communicating with

208
00:10:00,150 --> 00:09:57,670
we do we do not feel uneasy and you

209
00:10:02,150 --> 00:10:00,160
mention unexpected situations that's a

210
00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:02,160
very good point of course in the

211
00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:04,640
training we do a stream

212
00:10:09,110 --> 00:10:07,120
particular scenarios and yet

213
00:10:11,110 --> 00:10:09,120
there could be some situations where we

214
00:10:13,509 --> 00:10:11,120
have never expected or assumed in the

215
00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:13,519
trainings and if that happens we work

216
00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:15,680
together uh with the people on the

217
00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:17,440
ground and also work together amongst

218
00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:19,120
the crew in order to overcome the

219
00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:22,240
situations thank you so much

220
00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:25,920
thank you and next mr kimura

221
00:10:29,430 --> 00:10:28,000
my name is adriota kimura from tohoku

222
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:29,440
background high school i'm a third

223
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:31,600
grader which do you think will come

224
00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:32,640
first

225
00:10:36,949 --> 00:10:34,640
the time when mankind will go to another

226
00:10:38,949 --> 00:10:36,959
galaxy or the time when time space

227
00:10:40,630 --> 00:10:38,959
travel will become a common thing and

228
00:10:47,829 --> 00:10:40,640
how long do you think it will take for

229
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:49,030
um

230
00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:50,160
i think

231
00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:52,640
the space travel will come first the

232
00:10:59,430 --> 00:10:55,440
reason is because

233
00:11:02,389 --> 00:10:59,440
going outside the galaxy requires that

234
00:11:05,190 --> 00:11:02,399
we develop an extremely high speed

235
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:05,200
spaceship and therefore there is a need

236
00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:06,800
to have a breakthrough

237
00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:08,560
in order for that to happen of course if

238
00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:10,079
we could warp if that would be a

239
00:11:15,670 --> 00:11:13,200
different story now um making space

240
00:11:16,870 --> 00:11:15,680
travel a common thing well

241
00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:16,880
um i think

242
00:11:22,389 --> 00:11:19,600
it will start from a few times years

243
00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:22,399
from now but to make it

244
00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:25,200
easily accessible i think will require

245
00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:29,120
another 30 to 50 years well if you think

246
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:31,440
about these history of aircrafts i think

247
00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:33,760
that is the length of time that we have

248
00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:41,110
next miss

249
00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:43,829
my name is sakuya kane i'm a third

250
00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:46,000
grader of izumi tadhyama high school in

251
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:49,200
miyagi prefecture after the earthquake

252
00:11:53,509 --> 00:11:51,120
our life is difficult because of the

253
00:11:57,030 --> 00:11:53,519
stop of the parsh because of the power

254
00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:57,040
blackout at iss could power supply stop

255
00:12:00,710 --> 00:11:59,040
and if that happens then what kind of

256
00:12:06,389 --> 00:12:00,720
conditions do you have to be living in

257
00:12:10,389 --> 00:12:07,990
thank you very much for another good

258
00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:10,399
question the power blackout could happen

259
00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:11,680
here as well

260
00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:13,120
however

261
00:12:16,629 --> 00:12:14,880
the blackout is going to be slightly

262
00:12:19,269 --> 00:12:16,639
different from the one that you might

263
00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:19,279
have at your house let me explain this a

264
00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:20,480
little bit more

265
00:12:26,230 --> 00:12:23,600
uh you have a one park grid coming into

266
00:12:28,710 --> 00:12:26,240
per cable coming into your house to

267
00:12:31,269 --> 00:12:28,720
receive the uh power however we are

268
00:12:34,069 --> 00:12:31,279
using the photovoltaic panel uh we have

269
00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:34,079
about eight panels or so to receive the

270
00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:36,000
power and because we are getting the

271
00:12:40,870 --> 00:12:38,480
power supply differently through all

272
00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:40,880
these different aid panels there could

273
00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:43,440
be some partial blackout and therefore

274
00:12:48,870 --> 00:12:45,440
for example half of the lights within a

275
00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:48,880
lavatory laboratory could go off and if

276
00:12:52,629 --> 00:12:50,480
that is the case of course we will cope

277
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:52,639
with the situation and also in addition

278
00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:54,880
to the electricity there could be some

279
00:13:00,069 --> 00:12:57,440
power being stopped to be supplied to

280
00:13:01,670 --> 00:13:00,079
the computers which is very critical and

281
00:13:04,069 --> 00:13:01,680
if that happens of course we have to

282
00:13:06,230 --> 00:13:04,079
recover that in order to cope with that

283
00:13:08,389 --> 00:13:06,240
situation

284
00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:08,399
at the time of the design of the space

285
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:11,120
station itself we first and foremost do

286
00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:13,519
assume different kinds of emergencies so

287
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:15,440
that we could proactively

288
00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:17,440
take some counter images as to what we

289
00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:18,560
would do

290
00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:20,480
in case certain scenario happens for

291
00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:22,160
example when it comes to a computer that

292
00:13:28,389 --> 00:13:24,880
will control the direction of the space

293
00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:28,399
itself the space station itself um if

294
00:13:31,829 --> 00:13:30,079
the computer goes down and that will be

295
00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:31,839
very critical problem therefore we have

296
00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:34,639
a backup computer and we also have three

297
00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:36,959
computers to control um

298
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:39,839
the system in the

299
00:13:45,910 --> 00:13:42,320
station so that we have the redundant

300
00:13:47,829 --> 00:13:45,920
system um and so this is how what's been

301
00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:47,839
incorporated already in the design of

302
00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:49,839
the computer as well so at the time of

303
00:13:55,350 --> 00:13:52,560
the design of the space station itself

304
00:13:57,590 --> 00:13:55,360
we do have to prepare ourselves as to

305
00:14:01,750 --> 00:13:57,600
how we should cope with the situations

306
00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:03,829
and this is also how this uh keyboard

307
00:14:09,030 --> 00:14:06,240
the japanese exp um the

308
00:14:10,389 --> 00:14:09,040
experiment model was designed as well

309
00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:10,399
but still

310
00:14:13,829 --> 00:14:11,680
um

311
00:14:16,069 --> 00:14:13,839
we might see some situations which were

312
00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:16,079
completely unexpected if that happens of

313
00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:18,000
course we do interact and communicate

314
00:14:21,269 --> 00:14:19,440
with the people on the ground thank you

315
00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:21,279
so much

316
00:14:25,590 --> 00:14:23,279
it seems that we have some more time

317
00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:25,600
would anyone like to ask additional

318
00:14:29,350 --> 00:14:27,600
questions mr shiwata

319
00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:29,360
yes

320
00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:31,440
my name is ishiwata

321
00:14:35,110 --> 00:14:33,839
from fukushima university junior high

322
00:14:37,670 --> 00:14:35,120
school

323
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:37,680
outside the iss

324
00:14:42,310 --> 00:14:39,680
when you do the space walk in your

325
00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:42,320
astronaut suit

326
00:14:48,870 --> 00:14:46,480
does it this space suit reflect um the

327
00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:48,880
radiation so that you're not exposed

328
00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:55,350
that is again a very good question

329
00:14:59,509 --> 00:14:57,600
yes um

330
00:15:02,389 --> 00:14:59,519
well um

331
00:15:05,189 --> 00:15:02,399
the space suit is not designed so that

332
00:15:07,350 --> 00:15:05,199
it can shield out radiation of course it

333
00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:07,360
does try to shut out to a certain extent

334
00:15:13,269 --> 00:15:10,320
but it does not contain any lead to try

335
00:15:15,829 --> 00:15:13,279
to totally shield radiation therefore

336
00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:15,839
and when we do the space walk of wearing

337
00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:18,880
the um space suit we will be exposed to

338
00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:21,760
a little more radiation than normal but

339
00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:24,240
it's only for six to eight hours that we

340
00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:27,040
do this work so it does not have a major

341
00:15:32,230 --> 00:15:28,959
impact on us thank you for the good

342
00:15:38,949 --> 00:15:34,230
thank you perhaps one more question from

343
00:15:42,629 --> 00:15:41,509
how much calorie do you consume in an

344
00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:42,639
iss

345
00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:45,360
is it different from us on the ground in

346
00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:47,680
addition to calcium

347
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:49,920
do you intentionally take any particular

348
00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:52,560
nutritional elements at iss more than

349
00:16:03,829 --> 00:16:01,110
well thank you very much for the very um

350
00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:03,839
um technical question

351
00:16:08,150 --> 00:16:06,399
now we assume that we consume about

352
00:16:10,629 --> 00:16:08,160
three thousand a liter less than three

353
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:10,639
thousand um kilocalorie

354
00:16:13,749 --> 00:16:11,680
however

355
00:16:15,590 --> 00:16:13,759
uh we don't necessarily take that much

356
00:16:18,150 --> 00:16:15,600
calorie because different from being on

357
00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:18,160
the ground we feel uh very full quite

358
00:16:23,829 --> 00:16:21,199
easily and i think it uh worth it does

359
00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:23,839
require more research as to why it is

360
00:16:28,790 --> 00:16:26,880
the case but because we feel so full uh

361
00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:28,800
we don't perhaps necessarily eat that

362
00:16:33,430 --> 00:16:30,959
much but of course if we feel hungry

363
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:33,440
then of course we do eat more and we

364
00:16:37,829 --> 00:16:35,680
also do need to make sure that we need

365
00:16:40,629 --> 00:16:37,839
to take calcium as well as protein in

366
00:16:43,509 --> 00:16:40,639
our food as well as vitamin d in order

367
00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:43,519
to make sure that the bone which has

368
00:16:47,269 --> 00:16:45,920
been weakened is can be strengthened

369
00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:47,279
thank you for the very scientific

370
00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:49,519
question

371
00:16:53,670 --> 00:16:52,079
thank you very much and dr furukawa for

372
00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:53,680
answering these very different questions

373
00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:56,000
with a smile now can we ask the prime

374
00:16:58,949 --> 00:16:57,600
minister if he has any additional

375
00:17:02,389 --> 00:16:58,959
questions or comments that you would

376
00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:02,399
like to make yes please yes i'd like to

377
00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:05,600
ask dr furukawa another question

378
00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:08,160
dr furukawa you are a doctor

379
00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:09,600
by profession

380
00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:10,720
and

381
00:17:21,110 --> 00:17:18,949
using your knowledge as a doctor

382
00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:21,120
are there any specific experiments that

383
00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:23,280
you're conducting or any specific

384
00:17:27,429 --> 00:17:25,439
research that you're conducting

385
00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:27,439
well i think

386
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:30,000
your profession as a doctor and also

387
00:17:38,230 --> 00:17:31,760
your work at the spaceship might have

388
00:17:42,789 --> 00:17:40,230
thank you very much for the question

389
00:17:45,669 --> 00:17:42,799
well um yes um we are carrying out the

390
00:17:48,789 --> 00:17:45,679
protein crystal growth experiment in

391
00:17:50,150 --> 00:17:48,799
weightless environment and we can create

392
00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:50,160
more

393
00:17:55,430 --> 00:17:53,039
higher quality crystals and

394
00:17:57,990 --> 00:17:55,440
by taking this back um to earth and

395
00:18:00,390 --> 00:17:58,000
analyzing we can understand better the

396
00:18:02,549 --> 00:18:00,400
3d structure

397
00:18:06,549 --> 00:18:02,559
and we believe that this will link the

398
00:18:09,110 --> 00:18:06,559
way of two um curing cancers well about

399
00:18:12,070 --> 00:18:09,120
three meters away from this

400
00:18:14,470 --> 00:18:12,080
camera there is this experiment rack

401
00:18:15,190 --> 00:18:14,480
because the um

402
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:15,200
the

403
00:18:29,430 --> 00:18:25,760
cancer grow but if we can sever this

404
00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:29,440
route of nutrition and then we can um

405
00:18:32,710 --> 00:18:30,320
curb

406
00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:32,720
the growth of cancer cells and so we are

407
00:18:37,270 --> 00:18:35,120
trying to create such crystals for this

408
00:18:39,110 --> 00:18:37,280
purpose and in

409
00:18:43,590 --> 00:18:39,120
september this will be brought back to

410
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:43,600
earth using the soyuz russian space

411
00:18:48,070 --> 00:18:45,760
spaceship and we hope that this will

412
00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:48,080
lead to the development research of new

413
00:18:53,830 --> 00:18:51,200
mensa and we believe and that this can

414
00:18:55,430 --> 00:18:53,840
contribute to bettering people's lives

415
00:19:00,390 --> 00:18:55,440
on earth thank you for the very good

416
00:19:04,789 --> 00:19:02,870
thank you very much the wonderful answer

417
00:19:06,230 --> 00:19:04,799
because he's a doctor he was able to

418
00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:06,240
provide such a good

419
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:07,520
answer

420
00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:10,559
mr takagi i believe that you feel very

421
00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:12,320
tense all the time and i believe that

422
00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:14,960
you need to be very careful in whatever

423
00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:17,760
that you do how do you vent your stress

424
00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:19,840
out do you do any entertaining

425
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:26,470
well thank you very much for the

426
00:19:30,310 --> 00:19:28,720
question

427
00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:30,320
together with our

428
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:33,360
my colleagues um i might just relax

429
00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:35,520
by relax by chatting or

430
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:36,480
i do

431
00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:38,720
enjoy music or i might take some

432
00:19:46,549 --> 00:19:42,160
pictures or photos or videos

433
00:19:51,430 --> 00:19:49,190
from the space we can see this very

434
00:19:54,950 --> 00:19:51,440
special view of the space so during the

435
00:19:57,350 --> 00:19:54,960
week ends we have a little bit more time

436
00:19:58,630 --> 00:19:57,360
for a leisure and i'm very appreciative

437
00:20:00,710 --> 00:19:58,640
of that thank you very much for your

438
00:20:02,310 --> 00:20:00,720
question

439
00:20:06,149 --> 00:20:02,320
thank you very much

and um any um the children from the

443
00:20:19,430 --> 00:20:17,919
earthquake stricken areas do you have

444
00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:19,440
any additional questions that you'd like

445
00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:25,909
well it might be difficult um to be

446
00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:30,159

in the second half of your stay at iss

450
00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:37,760
um

451
00:20:41,909 --> 00:20:39,200

well and today the children have joined

455
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:49,679
us in this event and we're very grateful

456
00:20:57,190 --> 00:20:51,760
for having this opportunity it was very

457
00:21:08,630 --> 00:20:58,950

00:21:15,270 --> 00:21:12,000
dr noguchi and dr furukawa

460
00:21:17,669 --> 00:21:15,280
and i hope that children will want to

461
00:21:18,630 --> 00:21:17,679
become an astronaut and go out into

462
00:21:20,630 --> 00:21:18,640
space

463
00:21:23,669 --> 00:21:20,640
in the future i'm looking forward to

464
00:21:26,710 --> 00:21:23,679
this happening um earlier you explained

465
00:21:30,390 --> 00:21:26,720
about the protein crystal

466
00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:30,400
research for curing cancer i hope that

467
00:21:34,950 --> 00:21:32,159
such research will

468
00:21:37,029 --> 00:21:34,960
progress in outer space so that

469
00:21:38,149 --> 00:21:37,039
this will lead the way to scientists and

470
00:21:40,070 --> 00:21:38,159
carrying out

471
00:21:45,110 --> 00:21:40,080
research in outer space i wish you all

472
00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:47,750
now last but not least i would like to

473
00:21:52,710 --> 00:21:51,200
