00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:41,430
good morning commander dan and flight

10
00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:44,079
engineer dawn we are proud to be here

00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:47,440
special

13
00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:50,160

washington elementary school also

15
00:00:58,310 --> 00:00:53,760
located down the street from the tech

16
00:01:01,510 --> 00:00:59,910
well it's fantastic it's great to be

17
00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:01,520

all right we're ready to begin

19
00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:14,469
hi my name is esther and my question is

20
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:16,880
when was the international space station

21
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:22,230
well the first piece of the

22
00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:24,000
international space station was launched

23
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:27,200
in november of 1998

24
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:29,600
so we've got over 13 years of run time

25
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:31,360
we had the first crew come aboard space

26
00:01:35,749 --> 00:01:32,720
station permanent crew that's been

27
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:35,759
living here like we do right now in late

28
00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:38,159
of 2000 towards the end of the year in

29
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:47,030
hello my name is annette my question is

30
00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:48,960
what is the one thing you miss the most

31
00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:55,830
well

32
00:02:00,630 --> 00:01:58,240
my family is what i miss the most from

33
00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:00,640
earth when i'm on the space station but

34
00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:03,520
my family is not a thing in terms of

35
00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:05,040
earthly

36
00:02:12,229 --> 00:02:09,599
you

37
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:12,239
at least i i don't really miss them

38
00:02:16,869 --> 00:02:14,959
because the holes that are left

39
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:16,879
when you leave earth

40
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:18,640
are filled with things that you can do

41
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:20,800
on orbit that you can't do on earth like

42
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:23,360
fly you could float up here you could

43
00:02:27,430 --> 00:02:25,280
see earth from the windows in a way that

44
00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:27,440
you can never see earth from earth so so

45
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:28,879
these things fill the holes that are

46
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:38,550
my name is

47
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:40,640
my question is who inspired you become

48
00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:49,110
well i guess for me i had a lot of a lot

49
00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:50,879
of folks that inspired me ultimately to

50
00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:51,840
do this

51
00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:53,760
when i was your age though i have to

52
00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:55,440
admit i didn't i didn't at that point

53
00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:56,959
want to become an astronaut not because

54
00:02:59,990 --> 00:02:58,800
i didn't want to do it but because it

55
00:03:01,430 --> 00:03:00,000
never occurred to me that was something

56
00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:01,440
that i could do

57
00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:04,400
and it was probably many teachers it was

58
00:03:08,949 --> 00:03:07,120
my parents it was uh it was people that

59
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:08,959
i work with throughout my career that

60
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:10,560
that ultimately

61
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:12,480
inspired me to do this but when i was

62
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:14,640
your age the things that really got all

63
00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:16,800
of us fired up as we were growing up was

64
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:19,440
watching the apollo landings on the moon

65
00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:21,360
and from that point on i was always

66
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:24,400
interested in space and had no idea that

67
00:03:31,430 --> 00:03:25,840
someday i would actually get a chance to

68
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:33,990
hi my name is sophia my question is what

69
00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:35,920
is the greatest satisfaction you have

70
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,110
i think

71
00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:45,360
some of the greatest satisfactions you

72
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:47,840
have here is completing a good day's

73
00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:49,840
worth of work whether that day's worth

74
00:03:54,869 --> 00:03:52,480
of work is doing a science experiment or

75
00:03:58,149 --> 00:03:54,879
whether that day's worth of work is

76
00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:58,159
fixing something that's broken or doing

77
00:04:02,550 --> 00:04:00,000
maintenance uh

78
00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:02,560
it's all good and at the end of the day

79
00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:05,120
you could say wow what a day that has

80
00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:14,869
hi my name is erica my question is

81
00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:16,400
what was the worst thing that has

82
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:26,390
erica that's a really tough question i i

83
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:28,800
really have a hard time thinking of too

84
00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:30,240
many bad things that have ever happened

85
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:31,520
up here i've had

86
00:04:35,189 --> 00:04:32,880
i've been able to fly a couple times on

87
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:35,199
a space shuttle and uh helping to build

88
00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,720
the space station and now i've been able

89
00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:38,479
to live here for uh for several months

90
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:41,520
already and every day is wonderful i

91
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:43,520
guess one of the hard things to take is

92
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:45,040
when it comes time to actually leave

93
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:47,600
because it is really a wonderful place

94
00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:49,120
to be and

95
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:50,960
when it comes time to come home

96
00:04:55,830 --> 00:04:52,960
part of you just cannot wait to see your

97
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:55,840
family part of you is also saying gosh

98
00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:57,280
i'm going to miss those views of earth

99
00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:58,960
i'm going to miss floating around on

100
00:05:05,909 --> 00:05:00,080
station i'm going to miss doing the

101
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:08,469
my name is sergio my question is after

102
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:10,800
being in space for many

103
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:13,360
days or weeks you feel

104
00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:15,360
different physically as you return to

105
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:22,469
when we return to earth

106
00:05:27,909 --> 00:05:24,320
at least for me it takes me a while to

107
00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:27,919
get my my earth legs back uh maybe a day

108
00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:31,120
or two and it's it's kind of like

109
00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:33,039
sailors getting their sea legs after

110
00:05:45,189 --> 00:05:43,430
hello my name is emma my question is

111
00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:45,199
do you have internet in space and can

112
00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:55,990
well han i don't own an ipad an ipad yet

113
00:05:58,230 --> 00:05:57,440
and and i certainly don't have one up

114
00:05:59,430 --> 00:05:58,240
here

115
00:06:01,510 --> 00:05:59,440
at some point i think that would be a

116
00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:01,520
really good tool to have up here because

117
00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:03,759
it would be a lot easier to have a

118
00:06:08,390 --> 00:06:06,639
single tablet a single screen to take

119
00:06:10,390 --> 00:06:08,400
with you to do procedures and to do

120
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:10,400
science experiments instead of having a

121
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:12,880
big laptop with you we have ipods up

122
00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:15,440
here so uh so nasa and roscosmos and

123
00:06:19,749 --> 00:06:17,440
european space agency

124
00:06:22,070 --> 00:06:19,759
we've got ipods we can actually uplink

125
00:06:27,189 --> 00:06:22,080
all the music that we like to hear and

126
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:28,550
hi

127
00:06:38,469 --> 00:06:32,240
my name is oscar and my question is what

128
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:41,110
oh that the temperature in space station

129
00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:44,240
i happen to have a machine right here

130
00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:47,120
which measures the temperature

131
00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:50,960
and it shows it's 22 degrees right now

132
00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:02,710
hi my name is amanda and my question is

133
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:04,240
how do you communicate with their

134
00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:11,830
well samantha we can use email

135
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:13,840
we can talk to them

136
00:07:17,430 --> 00:07:15,520
almost like you would on a tel with a

137
00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:17,440
telephone or cell phone we do that

138
00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:19,440
actually with our laptop computers and

139
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:22,240
so we can call home and talk to our

140
00:07:27,110 --> 00:07:24,720
families maybe a couple of times a day

141
00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:27,120
if we have if we have enough free time

142
00:07:31,749 --> 00:07:29,680
we can also talk to them and see them at

143
00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:31,759
the same time at least once once a week

144
00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:33,840
so we can actually get a a picture of

145
00:07:38,469 --> 00:07:36,160
them on a laptop screen and they can

146
00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:38,479
have a picture of us and and we can

147
00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:40,240
actually take them on a virtual tour fly

148
00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:41,520
through the space station and bring that

149
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:44,720
laptop with us and uh but um but it's

150
00:07:52,869 --> 00:07:46,960
it's it's not like being home but it's

151
00:08:00,790 --> 00:07:55,589
my name is daniel and how on when does

152
00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:04,150
oh space station is made to never come

153
00:08:08,629 --> 00:08:06,800
back to earth at least in one piece

154
00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:08,639
what's going to happen is space station

155
00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:12,560
we can continue to maintain it occupy it

156
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:16,080
repair it and refurbish it and when it's

157
00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:18,160
time to

158
00:08:22,629 --> 00:08:19,199
to

159
00:08:24,950 --> 00:08:22,639
program

160
00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:24,960
space station as a whole will be

161
00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:27,280
deorbited and it will burn up in the

162
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:30,319
atmosphere somewhere probably over the

163
00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:39,509
hello my name is francisco and

164
00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:41,919
my question is is going to a bathroom or

165
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:43,680
taking a shower in space different than

166
00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:53,750
well it for one thing just to be clear

167
00:08:57,430 --> 00:08:56,000
we don't get to take a shower up here

168
00:09:00,230 --> 00:08:57,440
we actually

169
00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:00,240
make do with towels with soap and water

170
00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:01,760
and we

171
00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:03,360
stay up here for six months and that's

172
00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:04,720
okay it's a little bit like being on a

173
00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:07,200
camping trip for a long time

174
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:09,360
it's really difficult there used to be a

175
00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:10,800
shower on an old space station that the

176
00:09:14,710 --> 00:09:12,640
united states had called skylab a long

177
00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:14,720
time ago and it's really hard to manage

178
00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:16,320
all that water those droplets of water

179
00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:18,240
which would just float around so for us

180
00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:20,640
it's very easy to do it that way

181
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:22,640
and we have a toilet that works great

182
00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:23,839
and

183
00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:25,040
we use

184
00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:28,480
uh airflow to take the to help in the

185
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:31,200
way that gravity helps on planet earth

186
00:09:39,269 --> 00:09:33,040
and uh and other than that it works

187
00:09:44,949 --> 00:09:42,470
hi my name is eduardos camilla and my

188
00:09:48,829 --> 00:09:44,959
question is what made you decide to

189
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:50,710
astronaut oh

190
00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:52,080
i was

191
00:10:00,870 --> 00:09:57,920
years old when john glenn flew

192
00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:00,880
and when i saw john glenn fly

193
00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:02,480
i thought to myself that's something

194
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:05,200
that i would like to do and then i sort

195
00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:06,880
of forgot about that

196
00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:10,240
until i graduated from college

197
00:10:14,069 --> 00:10:12,640
after having taken math and science and

198
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:14,079
engineering

199
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:16,800
uh these hard subjects that that allow

200
00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:18,800
you to go in a technology-rich

201
00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:21,120
environment like a spacecraft and

202
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:24,880
operate and after after i had a math and

203
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:27,680
science and engineering then i realized

204
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:30,240
i'm qualified to be an astronaut and so

205
00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:40,710
hi my name is ivan and my question is

206
00:10:45,269 --> 00:10:43,200
when you were training was it hard did

207
00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:45,279
you ever feel like giving up because it

208
00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:51,829
i

209
00:11:02,230 --> 00:11:00,480
the pool

210
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:02,240
and uh maybe you're having trouble with

211
00:11:06,470 --> 00:11:04,640
the tools or the spacesuit or you're

212
00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:06,480
learning how to fly um the airplanes

213
00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:09,600
that we we train in t-38s and maybe you

214
00:11:12,790 --> 00:11:11,120
don't fly quite as well as you'd like to

215
00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:12,800
on a particular day

216
00:11:17,350 --> 00:11:14,720
i would not say that there was ever time

217
00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:17,360
i didn't i wanted to give up though all

218
00:11:21,350 --> 00:11:19,040
the things we do and there's such a wide

219
00:11:24,389 --> 00:11:21,360
variety of things they're so much fun

220
00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:24,399
that i just feel privileged and so lucky

221
00:11:31,269 --> 00:11:25,920
every day that i get to do the things i

222
00:11:34,870 --> 00:11:33,110
hello my name is brian and my question

223
00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:34,880
is how are you guys feel floating around

224
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:42,470
oh floating around in space is wonderful

225
00:11:47,269 --> 00:11:44,880
dan is going to illustrate some things

226
00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:47,279
that are really hard to do when you're

227
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:48,720
on earth

228
00:11:55,509 --> 00:11:49,760
and

229
00:11:56,710 --> 00:11:55,519
experience to be able to be truly

230
00:11:58,230 --> 00:11:56,720
weightless

231
00:12:03,190 --> 00:11:58,240
and

232
00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:03,200
of

233
00:12:16,550 --> 00:12:13,750
hi my name is antonia

234
00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:16,560
and my question is how do you exercise

235
00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:23,509
but that's really important for us to do

236
00:12:28,629 --> 00:12:26,480
exercise in space um when we're here

237
00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:28,639
in space we're essentially weightless

238
00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:30,320
that is our the the

239
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:31,920
the weight that we'd ordinarily feel if

240
00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:33,680
we're standing on planet earth is offset

241
00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:35,920
by the orbital motion that we and the

242
00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:37,440
space station and all the things around

243
00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:40,240
us have so that forces counterbalance so

244
00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:42,160
we're essentially free-floating and what

245
00:12:45,509 --> 00:12:44,160
that means is our muscles don't have to

246
00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:45,519
be strong our bones don't have to be

247
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:47,040
strong our hearts don't have to pump a

248
00:12:51,910 --> 00:12:49,279
lot of blood to do the things we do up

249
00:12:54,069 --> 00:12:51,920
here which means if we just let things

250
00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:54,079
be our bodies would adapt to this and it

251
00:12:57,910 --> 00:12:56,560
would be very difficult to be strong

252
00:13:00,550 --> 00:12:57,920
enough to be healthy when you came back

253
00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:00,560
to earth so for us we exercise almost

254
00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:02,880
two and a half hours every day we do

255
00:13:07,190 --> 00:13:05,360
running on a treadmill or bicycling on a

256
00:13:09,269 --> 00:13:07,200
bicycle that's uh right here in this

257
00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:09,279
this laboratory with us and we also do

258
00:13:13,590 --> 00:13:10,959
weight training using a special machine

259
00:13:16,310 --> 00:13:13,600
that uses vacuum big

260
00:13:17,590 --> 00:13:16,320
big pneumatic or air powered cylinders

261
00:13:19,430 --> 00:13:17,600
that actually

262
00:13:27,269 --> 00:13:19,440
make it feel like lifting weights would

263
00:13:35,910 --> 00:13:29,350
hi my name is juan and who or what

264
00:13:38,949 --> 00:13:37,110
uh

265
00:13:42,150 --> 00:13:38,959
for for me i think it was

266
00:13:45,590 --> 00:13:42,160
uh self-motivation after watching john

267
00:13:47,829 --> 00:13:45,600
glenn uh fly in space and then the other

268
00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:47,839
astronauts that followed john glenn

269
00:13:51,269 --> 00:13:50,160
watching the lunar program when i saw

270
00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:51,279
that

271
00:13:54,949 --> 00:13:53,760
it made me say wow this is a really cool

272
00:13:56,790 --> 00:13:54,959
thing to do

273
00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:56,800
and then i

274
00:14:01,189 --> 00:13:59,199
took math and science and engineering in

275
00:14:04,550 --> 00:14:01,199
college and

276
00:14:06,949 --> 00:14:04,560
did well in that and that's the key

277
00:14:09,189 --> 00:14:06,959
to doing everything cool in life

278
00:14:14,829 --> 00:14:09,199
and it was also the key that opened up

279
00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:17,750
astronaut hi my name is lisa and my

280
00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:20,160
question is when you were a kid was

281
00:14:32,230 --> 00:14:30,310
i think when i was a kid um i wanted to

282
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:32,240
be an astronomer my the space related

283
00:14:36,629 --> 00:14:33,760
thing that i was interested in was

284
00:14:38,870 --> 00:14:36,639
astronomy and i wanted to be

285
00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:38,880
i also wanted to be

286
00:14:43,990 --> 00:14:40,959
a coast guard person who went out on

287
00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:44,000
small boats coast guard small cutters

288
00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:46,160
and rescued people on stormy nights and

289
00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:48,240
things like that and i was very lucky to

290
00:14:55,829 --> 00:14:49,680
get the chance to do both of those

291
00:15:00,870 --> 00:14:58,389
my name hello my name is samantha

292
00:15:06,310 --> 00:15:00,880
and my question is what is your mission

293
00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:07,670
our mission

294
00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:08,800
is to

295
00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:11,600
learn how to live and work in space and

296
00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:14,639
expand human knowledge on living and

297
00:15:20,389 --> 00:15:17,839
working in space and at the same time we

298
00:15:23,030 --> 00:15:20,399
do science experiments

299
00:15:30,230 --> 00:15:23,040
that can only be done up here

300
00:15:35,189 --> 00:15:33,030
hello my name is marilyn um

301
00:15:41,110 --> 00:15:35,199
my question is

302
00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:43,430
it's amazing to be in space it is

303
00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:44,560
wonderful

304
00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:47,600
we get to wake up in the morning and fly

305
00:15:51,829 --> 00:15:49,199
like superman

306
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:51,839
down this you know 100 feet down the the

307
00:15:56,470 --> 00:15:54,720
space station make breakfast we get to

308
00:15:58,389 --> 00:15:56,480
float over to a window where we can

309
00:16:01,829 --> 00:15:58,399
actually

310
00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:01,839
a glass bubble where we can see the

311
00:16:06,470 --> 00:16:04,000
earth going by

312
00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:06,480
and we can see from horizon to horizon

313
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:09,279
360 degrees all around us thousands of

314
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:10,480
miles

315
00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:12,399
we get the chance to do incredible

316
00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:14,480
science experiments with really really

317
00:16:18,629 --> 00:16:16,480
smart people all around the world that

318
00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:18,639
are helping to uh to do the research we

319
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:21,600
do here we get to work on things and

320
00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:23,360
and repair things when things don't

321
00:16:27,509 --> 00:16:25,680
quite go as well as we'd like hardware

322
00:16:29,910 --> 00:16:27,519
wise we get to do spacewalks sometimes

323
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:29,920
we get to do robotics

324
00:16:33,829 --> 00:16:31,600
operations sometimes

325
00:16:36,710 --> 00:16:33,839
in short every day is different every

326
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:36,720
day is wonderful and it's one of the

327
00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:44,470
hi my name is jonathan do you get to

328
00:16:55,749 --> 00:16:52,949
we really don't cook our food we have

329
00:16:57,990 --> 00:16:55,759
food that's more like camp and food

330
00:17:00,550 --> 00:16:58,000
and so it comes in pouches and it comes

331
00:17:03,350 --> 00:17:00,560
in envelopes that are freeze dried and

332
00:17:05,909 --> 00:17:03,360
we either inject hot water into it or

333
00:17:07,750 --> 00:17:05,919
room temperature water or we put in a

334
00:17:09,189 --> 00:17:07,760
food warmer which looks a little bit

335
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:09,199
like a suitcase

336
00:17:18,150 --> 00:17:11,760
and and just warm it up and then we rip

337
00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:20,949
hi my name is jesus

338
00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:24,160
my question is what does the spell

339
00:17:37,510 --> 00:17:34,950
i think the question was what does space

340
00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:37,520
smell like and uh correct me if i got

341
00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:45,669
that's correct what does

342
00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:48,870
yes

343
00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:50,720
okay that is correct okay good good

344
00:17:54,390 --> 00:17:52,960
that's an interesting question and

345
00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:54,400
and it's it's something that i think a

346
00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:55,520
lot of people that have flown here

347
00:17:59,590 --> 00:17:57,760
before have noticed and that is after

348
00:18:01,270 --> 00:17:59,600
you dock a space shuttle or soyuz

349
00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:01,280
spacecraft to space station after you go

350
00:18:05,110 --> 00:18:02,880
outside and do a spacewalk or somebody

351
00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:05,120
goes outside and comes back in

352
00:18:09,190 --> 00:18:07,919
and you equalize

353
00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:09,200
the the

354
00:18:12,710 --> 00:18:10,880
the pressure difference between outside

355
00:18:14,950 --> 00:18:12,720
which is nearly zero and inside which is

356
00:18:17,110 --> 00:18:14,960
like it is on planet earth you get a

357
00:18:19,350 --> 00:18:17,120
chance to smell something that's that's

358
00:18:21,590 --> 00:18:19,360
a little bit metallic smelling a little

359
00:18:23,510 --> 00:18:21,600
bit oily smelling maybe

360
00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:23,520
and um there's some theories on what

361
00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:26,160
that actually is and although we're

362
00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:28,960
flying in essentially the vacuum of

363
00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:30,400
space where there's very very little

364
00:18:34,150 --> 00:18:32,320
matter up here there's still a little

365
00:18:36,310 --> 00:18:34,160
bit and some of it is charged and some

366
00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:36,320
of it actually causes potentially some

367
00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:38,000
reactions on the various materials that

368
00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:41,200
are outside so our theory is that the

369
00:18:46,070 --> 00:18:44,320
smell of space this uh this oily

370
00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:46,080
metallic sort of smell

371
00:18:49,590 --> 00:18:48,160
is probably associated with that but

372
00:18:51,590 --> 00:18:49,600
