because right now we have three crew

30
00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:06,640

31
00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:10,800

really worth doing we conduct wide

35
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:22,959
variety of experiments using the special

36
00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:26,400
environment in space like microgravity

37
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:42,869
next question noah please

38
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:45,350
my name

and my is

40
00:03:51,030 --> 00:03:47,760
is

41
00:04:01,750 --> 00:03:51,040
stay

42
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:11,190
i'm sorry would you repeat the question

43
00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:13,830
which do you think is a better place to

44
00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:14,959
stay

45
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:41,590
i'm sorry you mentioned space station

46
00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:43,909
i i am very sorry but could you repeat

47
00:05:01,749 --> 00:04:54,469
which do you think is a better place to

48
00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:04,629
i see i i see your question thank you

49
00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:07,759
that's a very interesting question

50
00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:09,199
i would say

51
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:14,160
space station is better because uh here

52
00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:16,560
under microgravity you do not need to

53
00:05:21,749 --> 00:05:19,840
walk you can just fly around by pushing

54
00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:21,759
a wall like this

55
00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:23,199
you can fly

56
00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:25,280
and plus a view

57
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:27,759
from a window of a space station is

58
00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:30,560
breathtaking uh during the daytime you

59
00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:32,880
can see uh blues

60
00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:36,479
ocean green forest brown land

61
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:37,520
and

62
00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:40,560
nighttime you can see city night views

63
00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:43,360
in addition you can see a wide variety

64
00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:44,880
of lightning

65
00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:47,759
plus sometimes you can see aurora in the

66
00:06:00,150 --> 00:05:50,320
polar regions

67
00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:03,670
next question as another priest

68
00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:06,720
kanichiwa furukawa

69
00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:09,600
and my question is how do you work as a

70
00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:11,680
team with other races in the space

71
00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:18,390
okay that's a very good question

72
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:21,520
of course there are differences based on

73
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:24,160
language culture and so on

74
00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:26,720
and i think it is important to accept

75
00:06:32,790 --> 00:06:29,840
the differences and pay respect to them

76
00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:32,800
and plus i think human beings are

77
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:35,440
essentially the same all over the world

78
00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:40,160
so we enjoy living and working together

79
00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:40,960
with

80
00:06:51,589 --> 00:06:43,199
crew members from different countries

81
00:06:57,670 --> 00:06:54,870
next question rsa please

put trash into trash bags that can be

109
00:08:18,469 --> 00:08:14,879
sealed by a rubber band to avoid bad

110
00:08:21,670 --> 00:08:18,479
smell then we put the bags into

111
00:08:24,629 --> 00:08:21,680
a cargo vehicle a cargo vehicle undocks

112
00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:24,639
from the space station and burns up into

113
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:25,520
the

114
00:08:29,830 --> 00:08:28,240
earth's atmosphere that happens every

115
00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:29,840

this facility has been funded by

132
00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:47,680
the people of japan

133
00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:50,720
and this has enabled us

134
00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:54,000
to carry out this event

135
00:10:00,630 --> 00:09:55,920
today we have

136
00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:00,640
students from usb with some questions

137
00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:02,720
so we would like to

138
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:15,910

konichiwa furukawa

140
00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:21,360
my question is

141
00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:23,360
you studied medicine and medical science

142
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:25,360
to become a surgeon

143
00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:27,680
can you please explain why and how you

144
00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:35,430
okay thank you for the question uh

145
00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:38,160
actually i had a longing for space from

146
00:10:42,949 --> 00:10:40,240
my early childhood

147
00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:42,959
i saw a uh first

148
00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:46,240
human being step on the moon on tv when

149
00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:48,640
i was five years old i was impressed

150
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:49,839
with it

151
00:10:54,550 --> 00:10:52,720
and i became interested in space

152
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:54,560
and when i was a junior high school

153
00:11:00,710 --> 00:10:57,600
student i wanted to become

154
00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:00,720
an astronomer astronomer or a space

155
00:11:06,470 --> 00:11:04,240
engineer and when i was 17 years old i

156
00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:06,480
had a chance to listen to my uncle's

157
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:09,040
story who is a medical doctor

158
00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:12,240
he told me that he was very happy when a

159
00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:15,040
patient recovers from illness

160
00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:16,000
and

161
00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:17,440
left

162
00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:20,720
hospital so i changed my mind to become

163
00:11:26,389 --> 00:11:23,440
a medical doctor because i thought

164
00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:26,399
i would be of help to patients

165
00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:28,880
and i became a doc medical doctor and i

166
00:11:33,990 --> 00:11:31,920
liked the job and one night when i was

167
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:34,000
working in a night shift

168
00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:35,120
a

169
00:11:47,269 --> 00:11:43,920
those selected would

170
00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:47,279
stay onboard the iss and conduct many

171
00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:49,279
scientific experiments

172
00:11:54,069 --> 00:11:51,680
the news galvanized me

173
00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:54,079
and i really thought i would like to do

174
00:11:58,069 --> 00:11:55,360
this job

175
00:12:00,550 --> 00:11:58,079
so i applied for the selection and

176
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:00,560
fortunately i was selected

177
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:16,949
next question please

178
00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:19,110
konnichiwa furukawa

179
00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:25,509
konnichiwa my question is

180
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:28,000
what is your most memorable moment in

181
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:35,670
that's an excellent question uh it was a

182
00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:38,639
moment when uh we

183
00:12:43,509 --> 00:12:40,079
solved a

184
00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:43,519
a malfunction and came to a successful

185
00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:46,399
end it was a plant experiment a couple

186
00:12:51,030 --> 00:12:47,839
of months ago

187
00:12:54,550 --> 00:12:51,040
and it was a cucumber plant experiment

188
00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:54,560
and after a 24-hour incubation of of

189
00:13:02,230 --> 00:12:58,240
seas i was supposed to fix the samples

190
00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:02,240
uh into a a fixed fixing liquid

191
00:13:05,750 --> 00:13:03,440
and that

192
00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:05,760
seal a sealed container was used for

193
00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:08,880
that because the the fixing liquid was

194
00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:11,519
supposed to be harmful

195
00:13:16,389 --> 00:13:14,240
should it leak into an open

196
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:16,399
into an open cabin

197
00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:20,560
and one of the o-rings that seals the

198
00:13:23,590 --> 00:13:22,240
container

199
00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:23,600
got stuck

200
00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:27,120
and failed so we were not recover the

201
00:13:33,509 --> 00:13:30,079
situation and we lost the samples

202
00:13:35,670 --> 00:13:33,519
and ground team made every effort to

203
00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:35,680
a find out the root cause

204
00:13:39,590 --> 00:13:38,880
and actually air bubbles that mixed into

205
00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:39,600
the

206
00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:40,800
container

207
00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:41,920
liquid

208
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:44,079
under microgravity turned out to be the

209
00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:44,959
cause

210
00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:47,600
so we performed the the same experiment

211
00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:48,399
again

212
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:51,839
and the same phenomena none happened

213
00:13:55,350 --> 00:13:52,800
and

214
00:13:58,069 --> 00:13:55,360
due to the uh excellent instructions

215
00:14:00,870 --> 00:13:58,079
from the ground team i

216
00:14:01,590 --> 00:14:00,880
tapped away the bubbles air bubbles from

217
00:14:08,870 --> 00:14:01,600
the

218
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:08,880
were

219
00:14:21,189 --> 00:14:11,440
overjoyed at this and it was the most

220
00:14:21,199 --> 00:14:24,550
next question please

221
00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:27,189
konnichiwa for a question

222
00:14:29,189 --> 00:14:28,000
my

223
00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:29,199
question is

224
00:14:33,509 --> 00:14:31,440
can you collect symbol of rocks or

225
00:14:37,670 --> 00:14:33,519
anything from space and bring it back to

226
00:14:41,110 --> 00:14:40,230
well that's a good question

227
00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:41,120
well

228
00:14:45,910 --> 00:14:42,800
i think

229
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:47,430
if that

230
00:14:53,030 --> 00:14:50,160
if it is for scientific purposes

231
00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:53,040
and i think it would be great if a an

232
00:15:01,030 --> 00:14:56,320
astronaut or cosmonaut that uh chooses

233
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:11,189
is a specialist geology specialist

234
00:15:11,199 --> 00:15:16,949
next question please

235
00:15:20,790 --> 00:15:18,389
my name is

236
00:15:23,269 --> 00:15:20,800
and my question is it is said that the

237
00:15:25,590 --> 00:15:23,279
iss has a massive laboratory which

238
00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:25,600
conducts various experiments

239
00:15:28,790 --> 00:15:27,600
if it is a facebook

240
00:15:30,870 --> 00:15:28,800
experiment

241
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:30,880
then could you please tell what sort of

242
00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:33,360
experiments are conducted and how these

243
00:15:39,269 --> 00:15:35,120
are essential for the people back on

244
00:15:45,269 --> 00:15:42,629
okay that's a very good question uh a

245
00:15:47,749 --> 00:15:45,279
wide variety of experiments are being

246
00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:47,759
conducted onboard the state space

247
00:15:54,150 --> 00:15:50,320
station and let me introduce an

248
00:15:56,949 --> 00:15:54,160
experiment of protein crystallization

249
00:15:58,150 --> 00:15:56,959
under microgravity we can get better

250
00:16:00,310 --> 00:15:58,160
quality

251
00:16:02,150 --> 00:16:00,320
protein crystallization

252
00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:02,160
on the other hand

253
00:16:07,910 --> 00:16:05,440
when cancer cells grow

254
00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:07,920
cancer cell feeding

255
00:16:11,350 --> 00:16:09,040
vessels

256
00:16:12,629 --> 00:16:11,360
sometimes grow around them

257
00:16:15,829 --> 00:16:12,639
so

258
00:16:16,990 --> 00:16:15,839
if you inhibit the growth of these this

259
00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:17,000
is called

260
00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:19,440
angiogenesis and if you inhibit

261
00:16:25,509 --> 00:16:21,600
angiogenesis

262
00:16:27,230 --> 00:16:25,519
it can be a cancer remedy so we created

263
00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:27,240
made

264
00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:30,959
angiogenesis inhibition related protein

265
00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:32,160
onboard this

266
00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:33,519
space station

267
00:16:38,550 --> 00:16:37,120
and after bringing it back to earth and

268
00:16:40,629 --> 00:16:38,560
analyzing it

269
00:16:43,509 --> 00:16:40,639
the detailed 3d

270
00:16:47,269 --> 00:16:43,519
structure of the protein is determined

271
00:16:47,990 --> 00:16:47,279
resulting in facilitation of development

272
00:16:51,829 --> 00:16:48,000
of

273
00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:51,839
remedy for cancer it is just finding an

274
00:17:06,870 --> 00:16:54,560
appropriate key to a keyhole thank you

275
00:17:12,470 --> 00:17:10,789
thank you very much mr full cover

276
00:17:15,189 --> 00:17:12,480
