1 00:00:07,829 --> 00:00:02,310 station houston on space to ground two 2 00:00:11,509 --> 00:00:08,950 houston station we're ready for the 3 00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:13,509 copy neil middle school this is mission 4 00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:15,360 control houston please call station for 5 00:00:29,269 --> 00:00:24,870 station this is neil middle school how 6 00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:30,950 neil middle school we've got you loud 7 00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:32,320 and clear aboard the international space 8 00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:52,310 hello my name is isaac my question is 9 00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,280 for don 10 00:01:02,310 --> 00:00:55,680 can you explain using the restroom in 11 00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:04,869 explain how to do it oh can you 12 00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:06,960 to to use the restroom in space is not 13 00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:08,400 that much different than using a 14 00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:09,920 restroom 15 00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:11,119 on earth 16 00:01:15,190 --> 00:01:14,159 you go in you got to turn on a machine 17 00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:15,200 and 18 00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:19,360 then you have a bucket with air going in 19 00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:21,520 that and when you're all done you seal 20 00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:38,630 hello my name is isaiah 21 00:01:44,069 --> 00:01:41,360 my question is for dan 22 00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:44,079 how does nasa transport 23 00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:46,560 astronauts to and from the international 24 00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:53,109 okay in general we use rockets to get to 25 00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:54,880 and from the international space station 26 00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:56,560 and up until last year we had the 27 00:01:59,830 --> 00:01:58,479 capability of using space shuttles to do 28 00:02:01,830 --> 00:01:59,840 that and the space shuttle helped us 29 00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:01,840 build the international space station 30 00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:03,200 right now in the united states we're 31 00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:05,200 developing commercial vehicles there's a 32 00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:07,040 whole series of them right now that 33 00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:09,440 allow us to transport humans to and from 34 00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:11,200 the international space station from 35 00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:13,920 planet earth and uh the three of us 36 00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:15,920 along with our three uh cosmonaut 37 00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:19,440 colleagues all came up on a soyuz rocket 38 00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:21,360 about four months and six months ago 39 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:28,150 hello my name is adonis my question is 40 00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:30,160 for andre what happens if there is a 41 00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:38,949 yes we are of course in a closed 42 00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:41,200 environment and there are several types 43 00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:43,440 of emergencies that can happen here and 44 00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:46,640 one of them could be a fire uh we cannot 45 00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:49,200 just leave the house as would be wise 46 00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:50,319 because we are 47 00:02:54,309 --> 00:02:52,720 stuck here so we have to deal with the 48 00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:54,319 fire ourselves it means that we have to 49 00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:56,480 protect ourselves against the smoke and 50 00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:58,239 toxic gases so we have masks with 51 00:03:03,190 --> 00:03:01,040 special filters for that and we have 52 00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:03,200 of course a lot of fire extinguishers 53 00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:04,720 and one of the most important thing is 54 00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:06,959 to to cut the electricity 55 00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:08,480 and that is how we would deal with the 56 00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:10,239 fire 57 00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:12,800 remember also that the materials here 58 00:03:18,229 --> 00:03:14,640 are very safe so that the chance on the 59 00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:18,239 fire is very very small another problem 60 00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:19,920 another problem that can happen of 61 00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:21,680 course is a hole in the space station 62 00:03:27,190 --> 00:03:24,159 because we are maybe hit by a space 63 00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:27,200 debris this is also very unlikely 64 00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,159 so we are very very well trained how to 65 00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:32,640 deal with that quickly close hatches and 66 00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:34,959 try to find the leak so 67 00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:36,720 we are well prepared but the chances are 68 00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:42,630 hello my name is mara and my question is 69 00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:43,680 for don 70 00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:46,000 what experiments are currently being 71 00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:48,239 conducted with nasa on the international 72 00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:54,869 we have two 73 00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:57,920 general categories of experiments we 74 00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:00,720 have life science experiments and most 75 00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:02,480 of those are experiments that we do on 76 00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:03,920 ourselves 77 00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:06,640 we're looking at how human physiology 78 00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:08,560 adapts and 79 00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:10,720 behaves in a weightless environment over 80 00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:12,560 long periods of time 81 00:04:17,189 --> 00:04:15,120 and the other category of experiments 82 00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:17,199 are physical science experiments these 83 00:04:21,749 --> 00:04:19,600 are things that involve growing crystals 84 00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:21,759 or combustion which is a fancy term for 85 00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:24,080 burning things 86 00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:26,160 and and these are the kinds of physical 87 00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:28,720 experiments a surface tension experiment 88 00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:31,280 uh experiments dealing with convection 89 00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:33,280 and diffusion these are the kinds of 90 00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:35,520 physical experiments we do and then we 91 00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:37,680 have yet another category of experiments 92 00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:40,080 we call these engineering experiments 93 00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:42,080 and these are things like making 94 00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:42,960 new 95 00:04:47,189 --> 00:04:45,120 versions of our life support systems 96 00:04:54,390 --> 00:04:47,199 being able to recycle our water and 97 00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,550 hello my name is jasmine and my question 98 00:05:00,710 --> 00:04:58,800 is for dan what is the most amazing and 99 00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:00,720 unique thing that you have seen outside 100 00:05:09,749 --> 00:05:07,510 that's a tough question to answer 101 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:09,759 because there's almost every day you see 102 00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:12,320 amazing and uh in 103 00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:14,720 unique kinds of things and probably in 104 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,960 general the most amazing thing is planet 105 00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:18,240 earth when you see it from 400 106 00:05:22,150 --> 00:05:20,320 kilometers above it is absolutely 107 00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:22,160 breathtaking it's constantly changing it 108 00:05:26,469 --> 00:05:24,000 doesn't matter whether you're looking at 109 00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:26,479 mountains like the himalayas or auroras 110 00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:29,520 or or the oceans and coral reefs 111 00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:30,960 some of which will span hundreds and 112 00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:32,400 hundreds of miles beneath you all of 113 00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:34,240 it's absolutely spectacular 114 00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:36,160 for me individually probably the most 115 00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:38,800 amazing thing i saw was the rising of a 116 00:05:42,390 --> 00:05:40,000 comet 117 00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:42,400 above the horizon of the earth just 118 00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:45,039 before sunrise over australia 119 00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:46,479 back around christmas time back in 120 00:05:50,790 --> 00:05:48,800 december the comet was named lovejoy and 121 00:05:52,870 --> 00:05:50,800 it was spectacular and it was 122 00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:52,880 just one of the most incredible things 123 00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:54,720 we were flying like i said a little bit 124 00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:56,240 north of australia at the time there 125 00:06:01,029 --> 00:05:59,039 were thunderstorms and uh the whole 126 00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:01,039 earth beneath us from our perspective 127 00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:03,039 was just lit up with lightning flashes 128 00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:04,319 and they would reflect off the space 129 00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:06,560 station and uh and then all of a sudden 130 00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:08,160 as the sun was getting ready to rise 131 00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:10,160 there was this long 132 00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:12,080 bright arc that extended from her from 133 00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:13,919 the horizon all the way up from my 134 00:06:18,950 --> 00:06:15,360 perspective all the way up behind the 135 00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:18,960 japanese module the kibo and it went 136 00:06:23,110 --> 00:06:21,120 many many degrees and i had no idea what 137 00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:23,120 it was and it wasn't until a day or so 138 00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:24,960 later that we realized that it was a 139 00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:27,520 comet that had just barely grazed the 140 00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:30,400 sun and survived that close encounter 141 00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:33,440 and in so doing sent off all kinds of 142 00:06:38,309 --> 00:06:36,000 gas and dust streaming thousands 143 00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:38,319 millions of miles out into space and it 144 00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:46,550 hello my name is lisey my question is 145 00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:49,120 for andre how do you prepare to go into 146 00:06:59,909 --> 00:06:57,110 that's a good question 147 00:07:01,830 --> 00:06:59,919 because yeah it's it's not very 148 00:07:05,189 --> 00:07:01,840 normal to be 149 00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:05,199 in a space station for say six months 150 00:07:09,189 --> 00:07:07,120 we train a lot on all the different 151 00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:09,199 modules and during that training period 152 00:07:14,469 --> 00:07:11,280 we are a lot away from home because that 153 00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:14,479 is of course one of the things that is 154 00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:15,280 less 155 00:07:21,589 --> 00:07:18,960 family and uh 156 00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:21,599 but because we we travel so much and we 157 00:07:27,909 --> 00:07:24,880 we train in in japan in europe in russia 158 00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:27,919 all over the world uh and therefore we 159 00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:31,120 already are used a bit to being away 160 00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:32,880 from the family and the family is used 161 00:07:36,710 --> 00:07:33,840 to that 162 00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:36,720 as well so that's a way to prepare uh 163 00:07:40,790 --> 00:07:39,120 from from that point of view and uh to 164 00:07:42,150 --> 00:07:40,800 prepare to live and work here in the 165 00:07:45,670 --> 00:07:42,160 space station 166 00:07:47,749 --> 00:07:45,680 means that we train on all the equipment 167 00:07:49,909 --> 00:07:47,759 and all the the procedures that we have 168 00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:49,919 to do in all these places all over the 169 00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:50,800 world 170 00:07:56,629 --> 00:07:52,960 and that's a training of several years 171 00:07:58,550 --> 00:07:56,639 so uh it's not easy to uh to to live and 172 00:08:02,230 --> 00:07:58,560 work up here but the training is 173 00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:03,029 okay 174 00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:05,280 hello my name is jalen my question is 175 00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:07,360 for don i have an interest in getting a 176 00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:09,199 doctorate in astronomy what are the 177 00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:16,550 the requirements for becoming an 178 00:08:20,790 --> 00:08:18,000 astronaut if you look at them on a piece 179 00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:20,800 of paper don't look like they're all 180 00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:23,440 that much it basically requires 181 00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:26,000 a degree in a technical field and that's 182 00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:28,000 science engineering 183 00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:29,759 and 184 00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:35,599 what you really need to do is follow 185 00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:38,880 what sings to your heart so 186 00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:41,360 study a technical field that you're 187 00:08:46,790 --> 00:08:44,320 really really interested in do really 188 00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:46,800 really well in that field excel in that 189 00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:49,440 field and then apply to become an 190 00:09:06,070 --> 00:09:00,070 hi 191 00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:06,080 my question is for dan don or andrew can 192 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:45,269 i thought you'd never ask 193 00:09:58,790 --> 00:09:47,030 the neat thing is you can do them really 194 00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:00,630 and you notice if you stretch out you go 195 00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:03,040 slowly and if you make yourself into a 196 00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:10,790 and that's called conservation of 197 00:10:19,509 --> 00:10:17,110 and what andre demonstrated is 198 00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:19,519 there's no conservation of position you 199 00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:21,519 can change your orientation just like a 200 00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:23,920 cat can and i think andre must be part 201 00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:25,920 cat because he just demonstrated you 202 00:10:31,269 --> 00:10:28,480 could change your position in space your 203 00:10:36,230 --> 00:10:31,279 your orientation without exerting an 204 00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:38,230 hello my name is lianda my question is 205 00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:40,399 for andre what do you do for fun on the 206 00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:47,269 well you just saw it uh this is one of 207 00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:49,839 the things we can we can do for fun so 208 00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:52,079 it's very nice to uh to be weightless 209 00:10:59,110 --> 00:10:55,760 and to float so we do our uh aerobatics 210 00:11:01,990 --> 00:10:59,120 uh and uh this is one thing but also 211 00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:02,000 the fact that items float and and water 212 00:11:07,670 --> 00:11:05,120 droplets so these are nice things to to 213 00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:07,680 play uh to play around with so these are 214 00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:10,000 interesting things and of course uh it's 215 00:11:15,269 --> 00:11:12,640 fantastic to look out the window and see 216 00:11:17,269 --> 00:11:15,279 this beautiful planet and the stars uh 217 00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:17,279 so there's enough already in the space 218 00:11:22,870 --> 00:11:20,079 station but beside that uh we also uh 219 00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:22,880 for example as a social event we watch 220 00:11:26,069 --> 00:11:25,040 movies together we even we have dinners 221 00:11:26,790 --> 00:11:26,079 together 222 00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:26,800 so 223 00:11:35,269 --> 00:11:29,920 we have plenty of activities to to have 224 00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:37,430 hello my name is brianna and my question 225 00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:38,880 is for dan 226 00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:40,720 has the international space station ever 227 00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:48,470 that's a good question 228 00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:49,680 up here 229 00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:51,040 we have a lot of 230 00:11:54,069 --> 00:11:52,720 a lot of potential things that could hit 231 00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:54,079 the space station 232 00:11:58,710 --> 00:11:56,480 in low earth orbit down on planet earth 233 00:12:01,750 --> 00:11:58,720 there's a lot of air and that fluid that 234 00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:01,760 uh that medium slows things relative to 235 00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:03,120 other things so you generally don't have 236 00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:05,200 high velocity unless you put a lot of 237 00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:07,600 energy into something so it takes an 238 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:09,440 airplane with a jet engine to get going 239 00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:11,519 many hundreds of miles for example an 240 00:12:15,269 --> 00:12:12,480 hour 241 00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:15,279 up here on space station things are uh 242 00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:17,680 are moving quite fast because the 243 00:12:22,310 --> 00:12:20,160 there's almost no air almost no it's a 244 00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:22,320 it's nearly a pure vacuum outside of out 245 00:12:27,110 --> 00:12:24,800 of outside of here so if you get debris 246 00:12:29,190 --> 00:12:27,120 that gets captured it could be cometary 247 00:12:31,590 --> 00:12:29,200 debris things that make meteors shooting 248 00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:31,600 stars that you'd see from planet earth 249 00:12:36,069 --> 00:12:33,519 that might get captured by earth's orbit 250 00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:36,079 or earth may just wander into it 251 00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:38,560 if you have debris that's left over from 252 00:12:41,509 --> 00:12:40,639 old satellites or rockets or things like 253 00:12:44,550 --> 00:12:41,519 that 254 00:12:46,790 --> 00:12:44,560 to space station 255 00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:46,800 thankfully nothing big has ever hit it 256 00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:48,720 occasionally small things do hit it if 257 00:12:54,069 --> 00:12:50,560 you do a spacewalk outside you'll see 258 00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:54,079 very very tiny little little holes in uh 259 00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:56,720 in some of the uh the structures outside 260 00:13:00,230 --> 00:12:58,320 now the space station is shielded we 261 00:13:02,790 --> 00:13:00,240 have uh two layers of 262 00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:02,800 of metal cladding metal shielding on the 263 00:13:07,829 --> 00:13:05,360 almost all of the space station so it 264 00:13:10,069 --> 00:13:07,839 can the first layer can basically 265 00:13:11,829 --> 00:13:10,079 vaporize if you will most of uh little 266 00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:11,839 things like that that would run into it 267 00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:14,160 we got very good protection in the form 268 00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:16,720 of radars and very radars on the ground 269 00:13:21,269 --> 00:13:18,800 and very very smart people that are that 270 00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:21,279 monitor low earth orbit and look for 271 00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:22,880 things that we might run into or might 272 00:13:27,509 --> 00:13:25,760 run into us so on occasion if we do see 273 00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:27,519 something and have enough time we can 274 00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:29,360 actually move the space station to avoid 275 00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:31,600 it if we don't have time and we see 276 00:13:35,430 --> 00:13:33,680 something then what we can do is close 277 00:13:37,590 --> 00:13:35,440 all the hatches to make station as 278 00:13:39,269 --> 00:13:37,600 secure and safe as it can be and then we 279 00:13:41,829 --> 00:13:39,279 can go to our soyuz 280 00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:41,839 space vehicles and basically wait and if 281 00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:43,600 there is a major problem we can always 282 00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:58,069 hello my name is tanaya and my question 283 00:14:02,069 --> 00:13:59,199 is for don 284 00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:02,079 how is international international space 285 00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:19,110 uh solar storms uh we are pretty much 286 00:14:26,470 --> 00:14:23,760 protected by the earth's magnetosphere 287 00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:26,480 from solar storms we're pretty much 288 00:14:30,790 --> 00:14:28,880 outside of the atmosphere we're above 289 00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:30,800 most of the earth's atmosphere so you 290 00:14:34,870 --> 00:14:32,320 don't have atmospheric protection like 291 00:14:37,189 --> 00:14:34,880 you do on the surface of earth but earth 292 00:14:39,509 --> 00:14:37,199 acts like a giant magnet 293 00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:39,519 and 294 00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:44,160 the magnetic field extends way out into 295 00:14:48,870 --> 00:14:46,880 earth for out outside of earth thousands 296 00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:48,880 of miles and and 297 00:15:01,269 --> 00:14:59,030 hello my name is sinclair my question is 298 00:15:08,389 --> 00:15:01,279 for dan how do you feel about public 299 00:15:11,910 --> 00:15:10,310 in general i think most all of us that 300 00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:11,920 are in this business would love to see 301 00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:14,560 more people in this business so i think 302 00:15:21,189 --> 00:15:15,760 the more 303 00:15:22,629 --> 00:15:21,199 people we can have that fly in space the 304 00:15:24,949 --> 00:15:22,639 better i think when all of us were 305 00:15:27,509 --> 00:15:24,959 growing up we thought by this point now 306 00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:27,519 there'd be thousands tens of thousands 307 00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:28,959 of people living in space all the time 308 00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:30,560 well it turns out flying in space is 309 00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:32,480 pretty tough it's pretty hard to do and 310 00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:34,399 there's a lot of challenges to it but 311 00:15:38,470 --> 00:15:36,160 we're now getting to the point where 312 00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:38,480 companies are able to develop rockets 313 00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:40,240 that we think will be safe enough that 314 00:15:43,829 --> 00:15:42,160 we'll be able to have more more more 315 00:15:45,509 --> 00:15:43,839 more people fly to space 316 00:15:46,790 --> 00:15:45,519 they'll be coming to space station 317 00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:46,800 they'll be going to other places we'll 318 00:15:50,629 --> 00:15:49,199 build other space stations for them and 319 00:15:54,069 --> 00:15:50,639 ultimately i think all that's going to 320 00:15:55,670 --> 00:15:54,079 help humanity leave planet earth and go 321 00:15:57,269 --> 00:15:55,680 to other places we'd like to be and 322 00:16:01,670 --> 00:15:57,279 extend our presence out into the solar 323 00:16:05,350 --> 00:16:03,430 my name is nana and my question is for 324 00:16:10,310 --> 00:16:05,360 andre how do you get your supply of 325 00:16:13,430 --> 00:16:12,230 that's a very good question 326 00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:13,440 these are 327 00:16:17,430 --> 00:16:16,560 important resources as you can imagine 328 00:16:19,670 --> 00:16:17,440 so 329 00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:19,680 we have to be smart and 330 00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:23,360 we are trying to uh say to to model the 331 00:16:28,629 --> 00:16:26,320 earth and re-recycle uh the water as 332 00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:28,639 much as possible so that means that the 333 00:16:35,269 --> 00:16:30,880 water that we that's in our breath or 334 00:16:38,470 --> 00:16:35,279 that that from from sports uh so all the 335 00:16:41,189 --> 00:16:38,480 water that we create uh is being uh 336 00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:41,199 being used again to and purified meaning 337 00:16:44,629 --> 00:16:42,720 also the urine 338 00:16:47,430 --> 00:16:44,639 so all the water in urine is being 339 00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:47,440 purified and we we make the drinkable 340 00:16:52,150 --> 00:16:48,880 water out of that 341 00:16:53,189 --> 00:16:52,160 then this is linked to another system uh 342 00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:53,199 which 343 00:16:59,670 --> 00:16:56,000 divides the water into hydrogen and 344 00:17:00,470 --> 00:16:59,680 oxygen so we get our oxygen partly from 345 00:17:02,949 --> 00:17:00,480 from 346 00:17:07,350 --> 00:17:02,959 the the water there are other systems as 347 00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:07,360 well that create oxygen but of course we 348 00:17:11,110 --> 00:17:09,280 trying to recycle as much as possible 349 00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:11,120 what we have because everything you 350 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:13,760 launch into space is is weight and it's 351 00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:16,880 costing a lot of money so i think this 352 00:17:22,069 --> 00:17:19,120 is a fantastic equipment we have we have 353 00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:22,079 up here uh and which could be a uh of 354 00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:25,280 great uh advantage for for 355 00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:33,669 hello my name is dwayne and if my 356 00:17:37,110 --> 00:17:35,120 question is for dying and if i get 357 00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:37,120 permission from my parents and money's 358 00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:38,480 not a problem can you take me into space 359 00:17:48,630 --> 00:17:47,190 well i'll tell you 360 00:17:51,909 --> 00:17:48,640 i think uh 361 00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:51,919 uh saving your nickels to pay for a way 362 00:17:56,870 --> 00:17:54,480 into space is gonna be easier than 363 00:17:59,270 --> 00:17:56,880 getting permission from your parents 364 00:18:00,549 --> 00:17:59,280 uh however if you can get permission 365 00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:00,559 from your parents 366 00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:03,520 the next time i fly into space i'll and 367 00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:05,039 if you aren't too big i'll figure how to 368 00:18:09,190 --> 00:18:06,960 pack you into my suitcase 369 00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:09,200 and you can come with me 370 00:18:12,230 --> 00:18:10,320 however 371 00:18:14,549 --> 00:18:12,240 uh more seriously 372 00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:14,559 what you what you should do is is save 373 00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:16,640 up some of your money maybe ask your 374 00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:18,240 parents if you could do extra chores so 375 00:18:22,950 --> 00:18:20,160 you can make more money and then you can 376 00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:22,960 use that to either go to some form of a 377 00:18:27,510 --> 00:18:24,720 space camp where you can learn about 378 00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:27,520 space or maybe go to a community college 379 00:18:33,029 --> 00:18:29,600 class where you can learn more about 380 00:18:35,190 --> 00:18:33,039 space and by doing that it will set you 381 00:18:36,630 --> 00:18:35,200 up so that by the time you finish up 382 00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:36,640 with college 383 00:18:40,390 --> 00:18:38,160 you won't need to worry about buying 384 00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:40,400 your way to space you can come and join 385 00:18:56,549 --> 00:18:54,630 on behalf of nil middle school we want 386 00:19:02,870 --> 00:18:56,559 to say thank you so much for being with 387 00:19:06,549 --> 00:19:04,710 neil middle school international space 388 00:19:08,789 --> 00:19:06,559 station it was our pleasure it was our 389 00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:08,799 pleasure to have you aboard today and we 390 00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:21,669 the station this is houston acr that 391 00:19:32,710 --> 00:19:31,590 and thank you participants at neil 392 00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:32,720 middle school station we are now
