1
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:03,830
station this is houston are you ready

2
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:21,590
houston we are ready for the event

3
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:24,070
isa this is mission control houston

4
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:33,590
this is alex topple from wwf how do you

5
00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:39,510
well we hear you loud and clear how do

6
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:47,510
we hear you loud and clear too

7
00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:49,360
andre don

8
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:51,440
and alex who's not here but he's on the

9
00:00:56,630 --> 00:00:52,800
spaceship

10
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:56,640
in the netherlands

11
00:00:59,830 --> 00:00:57,600
uh

12
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:59,840
we are here gathered with the angel punk

13
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:00,640
from

14
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,870
ah

15
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,710
andrei last time we met

16
00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:22,870
we you had your feet firmly on the

17
00:01:30,469 --> 00:01:27,680
ground and we were at the 2012 or 2011

18
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:30,479
dinner for the 50 years birthday of wwf

19
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:32,960
international in switzerland

20
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:35,200
and we had quite a chat and we talked

21
00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:37,200
about all this and now it's happening so

22
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:39,119
we are really

23
00:01:44,149 --> 00:01:41,360
enthusiastic that you're here

24
00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:44,159
we're discussing here the economy of the

25
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:45,680
future

26
00:01:50,789 --> 00:01:48,560
which is a very big topic and you know

27
00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:50,799
we really we're talking about it a lot

28
00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:53,759
but we are here at earth and actually we

29
00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:55,520
thought that there would be no better

30
00:02:00,870 --> 00:01:58,320
persons than you two to give us a global

31
00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:00,880
perspective because you're the only two

32
00:02:06,069 --> 00:02:03,119
to three people who really have a global

33
00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:06,079
perspective at this moment

34
00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:07,040
so

35
00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:10,560
i left asked five colleagues from us

36
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:13,040
here in the in the audience

37
00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:15,280
to ask you some questions

38
00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:17,440
i will introduce them and they ask their

39
00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:18,480
question

40
00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:21,280
and i hope you have a great response

41
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:28,550
excellent

42
00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:30,400
it's it's good to hear you and we look

43
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:38,390
okay let me start with alexander

44
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:42,400
shestakov for sasha he is our arctic and

45
00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:43,680
our leader

46
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:45,519
and he has the first question to you

47
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:55,350
first i just like to send best regards

48
00:03:00,790 --> 00:02:58,080
from a great supporter of wwf work in

49
00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:00,800
russia sergey krikalev

50
00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:04,869
so as a

51
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:06,080
question

52
00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:08,239
i like to ask

53
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,800
you as a professional

54
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:12,640
space traveler

55
00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:14,640
what do you think

56
00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:17,360
that the space expeditions can

57
00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:18,400
do

58
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:20,159
to support

59
00:03:24,309 --> 00:03:21,760
research and understanding of

60
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:24,319
consequences of climate change

61
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:26,400
and specifically of course i'm

62
00:03:36,309 --> 00:03:34,229
yes that's an interesting question uh

63
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:36,319
for us uh it's uh

64
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:39,920
uh we we see the earth uh in one moment

65
00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:42,480
so it's it's hard to to see differences

66
00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:44,480
in climate change which is uh going

67
00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:47,360
taking place over a longer period but of

68
00:03:53,509 --> 00:03:50,319
course we have a lot of good satellites

69
00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:53,519
and these satellites are specialized

70
00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:56,239
for earth observation for example the

71
00:04:01,670 --> 00:03:58,720
polar regions which we can hardly see

72
00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:01,680
from our orbit but with with uh with for

73
00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:04,480
example esa satellites like cryosat we

74
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:07,120
have a fantastic means to really for

75
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:08,720
example measure the thickness of the

76
00:04:14,229 --> 00:04:12,080
eyes and and uh and observe the changes

77
00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:14,239
that are taking place so we compare

78
00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:16,720
these data with with scientists who take

79
00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:19,120
measurements on the ground and this way

80
00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:22,479
we can really uh analyze and and and

81
00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:25,280
predict also how the how the ice layer

82
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:27,040
for example is changing

83
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:29,840
so this is something that uh people uh

84
00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:32,240
have to realize that the that earth

85
00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:35,680
observation is a very big uh big part of

86
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:38,320
space flight everybody looks of course

87
00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:40,240
at the international space station and

88
00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:42,720
and the great work we do up here but

89
00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:45,280
with satellites we have a really good

90
00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:49,040
means to see changes on the planet

91
00:05:05,189 --> 00:04:57,110
you

92
00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:06,950
hi andrei

93
00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:10,400
you visited my place you were in borneo

94
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:12,639
part of borneo and we thank you grateful

95
00:05:17,110 --> 00:05:16,080
for the a esa donation to the heart of

96
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:17,120
boreal

97
00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:19,680
my question is

98
00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:21,600
when you fly

99
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:24,960
over again borneo or himalaya

100
00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:26,160
or

101
00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:27,840
amazon

102
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:30,000
can you observe any

103
00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:39,510
yeah well one of the uh the beautiful

104
00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:41,600
things of the on the planet is of course

105
00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:44,240
the tropical regions but uh aside the

106
00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:45,919
effect is unfortunately that there's a

107
00:05:51,189 --> 00:05:48,720
lot of clouds so you really can fly over

108
00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:51,199
borneo or the amazon several times and

109
00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:52,720
the only thing you see is clouds it's

110
00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:56,080
it's a rainforest that's why but uh now

111
00:06:00,870 --> 00:05:57,840
and then we really have a good view and

112
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:00,880
then you can indeed see uh deforestation

113
00:06:05,590 --> 00:06:03,120
taking place you see the the parts in

114
00:06:08,390 --> 00:06:05,600
the in the rainforest that are that are

115
00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:08,400
being cut on the uh on site

116
00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:11,039
side rivers so that's something that you

117
00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:12,400
can observe

118
00:06:16,950 --> 00:06:14,880
you can see forest fires the the plumes

119
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:16,960
you uh you can see from the fire from

120
00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,639
the from the fires

121
00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:20,639
what you can also see is the effect of

122
00:06:24,309 --> 00:06:22,880
uh deforestation for example if there's

123
00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:24,319
a erosion

124
00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:26,880
you can see a lot of uh uh of earth

125
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:29,520
floating out of the the big rivers uh

126
00:06:33,909 --> 00:06:32,319
uh into the ocean uh of course like i

127
00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:33,919
said before

128
00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:35,520
it's hard to compare

129
00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:37,600
the the differences between my first

130
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:40,880
flight and now which is in 2008

131
00:06:45,670 --> 00:06:44,400
it was in 2004 and and now so therefore

132
00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:45,680
we have a

133
00:06:49,029 --> 00:06:47,680
great satellite but there there are

134
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:49,039
clear

135
00:06:53,510 --> 00:06:51,280
signs of things

136
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:53,520
happening on our on our planet down

137
00:07:07,029 --> 00:06:58,950
and i hope that our rain forests do not

138
00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:08,150
thank you

139
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:12,000
um the first question will be posed by

140
00:07:21,029 --> 00:07:18,070
hello andre

141
00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:21,039
it's an honor to speak to you

142
00:07:26,550 --> 00:07:23,680
do you notice from where you are

143
00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:26,560
any changes relating to the earth

144
00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:29,120
as a result of urbanization

145
00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:31,440
or desertification

146
00:07:36,309 --> 00:07:33,599
do you see for instance there were

147
00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:36,319
any algae blooms in the ocean

148
00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:37,840
that would damage

149
00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:39,599
or would have a negative effect on our

150
00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:45,430
well

151
00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:48,400
um one of the things that a uh

152
00:07:51,909 --> 00:07:50,960
is very interesting for to see from

153
00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:51,919
space

154
00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:54,240
is the earth at night

155
00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:55,280
because

156
00:08:01,270 --> 00:07:57,520
it's an amazing amount of flights and

157
00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:01,280
cities so urbanization is really huge

158
00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:02,800
and uh

159
00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:05,120
so at that moment you can really see

160
00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:07,440
that there's not so many uh

161
00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:10,560
places with fertile soil for example

162
00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:12,240
where people can go there's a lot of

163
00:08:16,869 --> 00:08:15,199
deserts a lot of uh saltwater ocean

164
00:08:17,749 --> 00:08:16,879
mountains

165
00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:17,759
and

166
00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:24,000
can see for example the pollution there

167
00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:26,960
you can see the haze layers over over uh

168
00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:29,680
big cities so there's uh a clear uh

169
00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:32,240
indications uh of the of the effects of

170
00:08:37,589 --> 00:08:34,880
uh of humans on the planet and uh the

171
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:37,599
ongoing uh urbanization

172
00:08:42,070 --> 00:08:39,279
and um

173
00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:42,080
now concerning the uh the the lc the

174
00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:44,159
blooms uh i have to

175
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:45,760
have a better look at that i see

176
00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:48,480
beautiful colors in the oceans and uh

177
00:08:52,630 --> 00:08:50,800
so that's something to look out for in

178
00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:52,640
the coming months that i'm still here

179
00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:54,959
i'll try to to spot those

180
00:08:58,630 --> 00:08:56,000
and

181
00:09:01,509 --> 00:08:58,640
my colleague has been in space as well

182
00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:01,519
before also for half a year and he has a

183
00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:04,720
good comparison a better comparison but

184
00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:11,350
uh one

185
00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:14,000
thing that i've noticed particularly

186
00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:15,760
in south america

187
00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:16,880
is the

188
00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:20,640
spread of light city lights at night

189
00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:22,160
nine years ago when i was on space

190
00:09:27,509 --> 00:09:24,640
station and i would take pictures of uh

191
00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:27,519
light uh earth nighttime lights

192
00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:30,720
uh south america was pretty dark and now

193
00:09:34,630 --> 00:09:32,800
there's been a lot of growth in the

194
00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:34,640
south american region

195
00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:44,310
great thanks

196
00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:46,320
the next question actually is to give

197
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:48,959
you don so you can hand back the mic to

198
00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:52,080
dong uh it comes from carter

199
00:09:58,310 --> 00:09:55,200
carter roberts from the us

200
00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:58,320
first of all it's great to see you guys

201
00:10:03,990 --> 00:10:00,959
it's yet another evidence of how

202
00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:04,000
bald men have an oversized influence in

203
00:10:06,959 --> 00:10:14,150
hi uh don my question for you is uh

204
00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:18,790
my uh my question for you is

205
00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:22,240
you guys are heroes to our kids

206
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:24,640
my kids love astronauts

207
00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:27,680
how do you see your work

208
00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:30,959
inspiring the next generation

209
00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:39,910
i believe

210
00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:41,839
that each generation

211
00:10:45,829 --> 00:10:43,320
finds its own

212
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:45,839
inspirations and they pick and choose

213
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:48,240
from all the old fogies that were there

214
00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:49,519
before them

215
00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:54,160
and so i will leave the next generation

216
00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:56,480
to review the work that we're doing in

217
00:11:01,110 --> 00:10:58,480
space today

218
00:11:04,310 --> 00:11:01,120
pick and choose what they find inspiring

219
00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:04,320
and build upon that and and move off uh

220
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:06,560
into space in the way that that they

221
00:11:19,509 --> 00:11:17,350
okay things don't

222
00:11:22,310 --> 00:11:19,519
um then we go to one of our final

223
00:11:24,389 --> 00:11:22,320
questions and that comes from our host

224
00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:24,399
in the netherlands and that is johan

225
00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:31,590

00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:38,560
session here at our annual conference

229
00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:41,040
andre my question to you would be this

230
00:11:44,949 --> 00:11:42,480
conference

231
00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:44,959
has a theme it's uh on the economy of

232
00:11:48,389 --> 00:11:47,120
the future community economy reversing

233
00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:48,399
the trend

234
00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:50,320
what would you what would be your

235
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:51,360
biggest

236
00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:54,560
idea from safe how to bring about a

237
00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:57,440
sustainable green economy on planet

238
00:12:05,910 --> 00:12:03,190
yeah that's a good question well next

239
00:12:08,389 --> 00:12:05,920
week on may 15th the living planet

240
00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:08,399
report comes out you've already seen a

241
00:12:14,790 --> 00:12:10,959
draft of that and as you know that's an

242
00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:14,800
indicator uh of the the state uh of our

243
00:12:19,110 --> 00:12:16,800
and of the health of our planet

244
00:12:22,310 --> 00:12:19,120
and you're all together now in

245
00:12:24,550 --> 00:12:22,320
in one room uh for a real big

246
00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:24,560
brainstorming session and to think what

247
00:12:28,710 --> 00:12:26,720
you can do all together

248
00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:28,720
as a conservatist

249
00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:31,519
conservationist as protectionist of the

250
00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:32,800
of the earth

251
00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:36,000
you are protecting the planet but

252
00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:38,480
wwf has to

253
00:12:43,350 --> 00:12:40,639
put in the effort to combine to combine

254
00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:43,360
efforts and strengths of other

255
00:12:48,389 --> 00:12:45,120
of other entities because you have to

256
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:48,399
think out of the box beyond what the wwf

257
00:12:53,509 --> 00:12:50,880
is doing in its network because we are

258
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:53,519
all responsible and we all play a role

259
00:12:58,550 --> 00:12:56,320
in in finding solutions for protecting

260
00:13:00,870 --> 00:12:58,560
uh uh for protecting our beautiful

261
00:13:03,990 --> 00:13:00,880
planet so that means involving

262
00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:04,000
businesses and persuade governments

263
00:13:07,509 --> 00:13:04,959
so

264
00:13:10,629 --> 00:13:07,519
we really have to act now before well it

265
00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:10,639
will be uh soon too late if you don't do

266
00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:12,720
do a great effort

267
00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:17,040
now in june 2012 so coming soon a lot of

268
00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:19,200
nations but also businesses

269
00:13:24,389 --> 00:13:21,920
civil society representatives they all

270
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:24,399
come together on the un conference on

271
00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:26,880
sustainable development so this is 20

272
00:13:31,829 --> 00:13:29,680
years after the the momentous earth

273
00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:31,839
summit

274
00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:35,120
a crucial opportunity because there

275
00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:37,200
we take stock on where the world is

276
00:13:42,470 --> 00:13:39,760
heading and and how we like say our

277
00:13:45,030 --> 00:13:42,480
future to take shape

278
00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:45,040
we now we all have the ability to save

279
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:47,600
our home to protect our planet not only

280
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:50,240
for us and not only because it's good to

281
00:13:53,670 --> 00:13:52,160
to protect it for present time but it's

282
00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:53,680
also

283
00:14:00,710 --> 00:13:57,360
for of course for the future generations

284
00:14:03,509 --> 00:14:00,720
we have solutions and and everybody can

285
00:14:05,430 --> 00:14:03,519
contribute to that so it it's it's

286
00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:05,440
making better choices

287
00:14:10,870 --> 00:14:08,560
uh for how to how to govern place uh how

288
00:14:14,069 --> 00:14:10,880
to produce how to consume all these

289
00:14:15,990 --> 00:14:14,079
things are needed we have to take care

290
00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:16,000
of our planet and it's in our hands and

291
00:14:21,269 --> 00:14:18,240
i wish you all the best with uh with

292
00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:21,279

thanks andre uh andre we we we still

294
00:14:36,389 --> 00:14:33,839

so we know that your mission

301
00:15:01,030 --> 00:14:54,000
has been extended

302
00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:03,189
well you have a bit of a look here in

303
00:15:10,949 --> 00:15:06,639
the station and uh it's very technical

304
00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:10,959
it's all machines it's all metal and

305
00:15:16,710 --> 00:15:14,560
uh what i miss very much is nature it's

306
00:15:20,470 --> 00:15:16,720
it sounds like a cliche but if you're

307
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:20,480
half here it would be so nice to walk uh

308
00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:23,920
in the rain uh and or get some nice

309
00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:26,880
sunshine here the birds etc so

310
00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:28,880

uh to uh to to

313
00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:36,160
to feel and sense nature again but if

314
00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:38,079
somebody would tell me you have to stay

315
00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:40,000
another half year i wouldn't mind either

316
00:15:50,710 --> 00:15:42,880
because the planet is fantastic to look

317
00:16:02,790 --> 00:15:52,150
thanks andre

318
00:16:06,069 --> 00:16:02,800

and uh i hear tell that you've got a

320
00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:10,800
very cool new boat tracking system

321
00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:14,880
on board the iss the vessel id system

322
00:16:21,990 --> 00:16:16,480
can you tell us a little bit more about

323
00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:24,069
that's a very interesting uh experiment

324
00:16:26,790 --> 00:16:25,360
where we uh

325
00:16:29,829 --> 00:16:26,800
uh exchange

326
00:16:32,069 --> 00:16:29,839
data with uh with ships all over the all

327
00:16:34,150 --> 00:16:32,079
over the world it's an automatic system

328
00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:34,160
and this is a very interesting it's a

329
00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:38,399
test bed to see how we can can use

330
00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:41,120
the station uh to to do this kind of

331
00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:42,959
trekking and so

332
00:16:46,629 --> 00:16:44,399
uh it it

333
00:16:49,189 --> 00:16:46,639
for the for economy but for for trekking

334
00:16:50,629 --> 00:16:49,199
all these ships this is a very nice

335
00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:50,639
system and who knows what other

336
00:16:54,069 --> 00:16:52,079
applications

337
00:17:02,310 --> 00:16:54,079
we could

338
00:17:06,230 --> 00:17:04,870
okay one last question uh this is for

339
00:17:07,429 --> 00:17:06,240

how good are you at identifying a spot

343
00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:24,470
you're going to have to repeat that you

344
00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:26,720
were stepped on by other comm on station

345
00:17:37,669 --> 00:17:34,789
sure uh john you've been in space for

346
00:17:41,029 --> 00:17:37,679
four months now

347
00:17:42,950 --> 00:17:41,039
how good are you at uh looking at a spot

348
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:42,960
on planet earth

349
00:17:57,590 --> 00:17:54,470
you get you get good about

350
00:17:59,669 --> 00:17:57,600
looking out the window and telling what

351
00:18:01,909 --> 00:17:59,679
part of the world you are in if you look

352
00:18:04,230 --> 00:18:01,919
out you see red dirt you're either over

353
00:18:07,350 --> 00:18:04,240
australia or you're over africa

354
00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:07,360
if you look out at night and you see a

00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:13,600
in a fog you know you're over india and

357
00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:16,640
if you see blue-green city lights you

358
00:18:22,630 --> 00:18:19,120
know you're over japan so so there are

359
00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:22,640
certain characteristics of earth

360
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:24,480
that show up either at night or daytime

361
00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,240
that you get used to and you just glance

00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:28,480
out the window and you go yeah

363
00:18:41,590 --> 00:18:38,230
