00:00:51,990 --> 00:00:48,800 space lab 20 00:00:54,709 --> 00:00:52,000 and a lot of young people between 14 and 21 00:00:56,869 --> 00:00:54,719 18 years took part in it and actually we 22

course we 28 00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:21,119 are now in contact with the space 29 00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:23,360 station and i will just call them there 30 00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:25,200 is one of the

you are currently 37 00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:52,630 oh uh actually i'm here in columbus this 38 00:01:57,030 --> 00:01:55,040 is the european uh module the science 39 00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:57,040 module where we do a lot of interesting 40 00:02:01,510 --> 00:01:58,479 stuff and at the moment the space 41 00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:01,520 station is going uh pretty fast as you 42 00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:02,479 know 43 00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:04,719 probably from north america 44 00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:07,439 and then the atlantic ocean and uh by 45 00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:09,200 the time that we're speaking 46 00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:16,550 oh fantastic andre i'm sure you have 47 00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:19,200 heard about the youtube space lab 48 00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:21,200 exercise can you tell us a little bit 49 00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:28,309 i think i think it's a fantastic way 50 00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:31,440 that young people can propose 51 00:02:35,830 --> 00:02:33,360 their brand new ideas 52 00:02:36,869 --> 00:02:35,840 because young people out of the box they 53 00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:36,879 propose 54 00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:39,360 experiments for space flight and that's 55 00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:41,680 a fantastic way to uh to get new 56 00:02:46,150 --> 00:02:44,080 experimental ideas because young people 57 00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:46,160 have the future they come with the new 58 00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:54,550 yes indeed andre and now i have two 59 00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:56,879 young people who are eager to ask some 60 00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:59,360 questions and i guess some of our guests 61 00:03:02,149 --> 00:03:00,720 here as well 62 00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:02,159 so 63 00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:12,070 many people are very 64 00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:14,239 sick at the moment here in germany how 65 00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:20,070 diseases develop in space can you get a 66 00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:29,670 there are 67 00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:31,920 possibilities to get six we are more 68 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:41,589 look at how our immune system is 69 00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:43,599 weakened in microgravity 70 00:03:48,789 --> 00:03:47,040 where viruses are much more aggressive 71 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:48,799 because space is such an extreme 72 00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:50,080 environment 73 00:03:57,429 --> 00:03:54,080 it is good place to test new things 74 00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:04,149 simon do you have another question 75 00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:06,710 i just would like if we don't interrupt 76 00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:12,710 could you

00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:29,280 your location so biologists cell 81 00:04:33,189 --> 00:04:31,280 we do at the moment experiments with 82 00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:33,199 biological 83 00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:37,990 in the physique 84 00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:40,320 we have fluid 85 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:51,189 also in psychology on humans 86 00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:56,629 and a very interesting um 87 00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:58,230 which is very 88 00:05:01,830 --> 00:04:59,440 good to 89 00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:01,840 connect with the seabed 90 00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:05,280 we have very we have many european 91 00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:06,960 experiments 92 00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:15,749 well i'm convinced you have enough to do 93 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,550 and i pass on the microphone 94

longer 97 00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:40,080 which is okay because i lost two weeks 98 00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:42,880 later so but uh yeah the extension is 99 00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:45,440 nice it's a very special place here uh 100 00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:48,000 very great uh research we can we do here 101 00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:49,759 and of course the the weightlessness is 102 00:05:54,870 -->

00:06:02,309 --> 00:05:59,840 would miss a game that we both would 106 00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:02,319 like which is a football game between 107 00:06:19,749 --> 00:06:17,189 andre we would like to thank you very 108 00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:19,759 much for the time you have taken to talk 109 00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:21,759 to us from orbit 110 00:06:26,230 --> 00:06:25,199 cruising with 28 000 kilometers per hour 111 00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:26,240 and 112 00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:28,319 please give all our regards to your 113 00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:29,600 colleagues 114 00:06:34,150 -->
