00:01:47,280 is a medical emergency what do you do 16 00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:48,799 and what medicines do you keep on the 17 00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:55,510 well that's a good question uh 18 00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:57,360 of course astronauts are pretty healthy 19 00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:59,360 and we are very well checked before we 20 00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:01,439 go up so we're in good shape but of 21 00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:03,360 course an accident can happen people can 22 00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:04,479 get sick 23 00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:06,479 for that reason we have a small

--> 00:02:30,160 we'll have a lot of support from doctors 34 00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:31,360 on the ground 35 00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:33,440 so but hopefully it never is never 36 00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:41,110 my name is mackenzie wallace i am a 37 00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:43,440 sixth grade student at junction avenue 38 00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:45,840 kate school for astronaut dawn how does 39 00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:47,840 all the time you spend on your career 40 00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:49,680 and at the space station impact your 41 00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:55,910 well 42 00:03:01,589 --> 00:03:00,080 no matter what you do for a living 43 00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:01,599 your family 44 00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:02,560 gets 45 00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:05,760 pulled along with your career so

--> 00:03:15,840 my family gets to see what it's like 50 00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:17,680 when i go through training they get to 51 00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:20,560 see when when i go on travel 52 00:03:26,309 --> 00:03:23,360 and they get to come with me on occasion 53 00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:26,319 and so we all share the experience like 54 00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:27,760 you do 55 00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:31,120 with any other family experience 56 00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:33,920 so it 57 00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:37,120 so so your family gets to 58 00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:40,560 hear and and feel

00:03:55,589 --> 00:03:53,840 for astronaut joe are you conducting any 63 00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:55,599 experiments that will help us here on 64 00:04:04,630 --> 00:03:58,560 earth relating to energy conservation 65 00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:07,110 well that's a that's a great question uh 66 00:04:10,869 --> 00:04:08,879 just living on the space station we're 67 00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:10,879 doing a little bit of all of that 68 00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:12,560 we have solar arrays so we're using 69 00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:14,400 power from the sun 70 00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:17,040 all of our water we recycle so it might 71 00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:19,120 not sound too good but 72 00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:21,359 what we might urinate today 73 00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:23,600 we'll be drinking uh shortly so we're 74 00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:25,919 doing that and we try to 75 00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:27,120 minimize 76 00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:28,800 any of the waste that we have on board 77 00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:30,000 so we're doing a little bit of that 78 00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:31,440 every day just living on the space 79 00:04:43,030 --> 00:04:40,230 hi my name is janelle holm i'm an 8th 80 00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:43,040 grade student at junction avenue school 81 00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:45,199 for astronaut andre what type of plants 82 00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:47,040 are you trying to grow on the iss and 83 00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:49,040 what are the challenges of hydroponics 84 00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:54,310 well i'll hand this question over to the 85 00:04:59,350 --> 00:04:57,040 specialist on that 86 00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:59,360 hi i'm don and 87 00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:00,560 currently 88 00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:02,240 i'm growing 89 00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:03,600 broccoli 90 00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:05,039 sunflower 91 00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:06,080 and 92 00:05:09,790 --> 00:05:07,520 zucchini 93 00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:09,800 and we're not using 94 00:05:13,830 --> 00:05:12,960 hydroponics we're using aeroponics this 95 00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:13,840 is a 96 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:15,680 different concept that nasa has helped 97 00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:18,000 pioneer where instead of having a large 98 00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:20,080 tank of water with all the nutrients 99 00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:23,520 that the roots are in you have a 100 00:05:28,230 --> 00:05:25,520 chamber filled with air and just a 101 00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:28,240 little bit of water with nutrients and 102 00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:29,280 that way 103 00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:31,680 you don't have to have a whole lot of 104 00:05:35,749 --> 00:05:34,240 water sitting around in a tank for 105 00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:35,759 raising your plants 106 00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:38,720 and what i'm finding is spacecraft are 107 00:05:43,990 --> 00:05:42,639 designed for animals like human beings 108 00:05:46,230 --> 00:05:44,000 and 109 00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:46,240 plants have a hard time living in that 110 00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:47,600 environment 111 00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:49,919 if our spacecraft were designed by 112 00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:52,240 plants i think us human beings would 113 00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:54,000 have a hard time living in in that kind 114 00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:02,230 my name is kayla bidding i am in fifth 115 00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:04,160 grade at vintage hill school for 116 00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:06,720 astronaut dawn what would you do or say 117 00:06:14,309 --> 00:06:08,319 if you were the first person to meet 118 00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:16,390 well i've had opportunity to meet an 119 00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:19,520 alien and i will hand the microphone 120 00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:22,319 over to him and he's an alien because he 121 00:06:29,670 --> 00:06:27,350 that's right 122 00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:29,680 it conceals it under the top so i can 123 00:06:33,189 --> 00:06:31,520 even talk in another language but that 124 00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:33,199 will be the biggest problem how to 125 00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:35,919 communicate with uh with with aliens 126 00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:39,120 because uh they of course will be built 127 00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:41,440 totally different and uh that will be 128 00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:43,199 hard to communicate i think we will have 129 00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:46,400 to communicate with with images 130 00:06:51,589 --> 00:06:48,800 that is to say if he uses the visual 131 00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:51,599 light as we use so i think communication 132 00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:54,400 is the biggest thing and uh if they come 133 00:06:58,790 --> 00:06:56,160 to us it probably means that they are 134 00:07:01,749 --> 00:06:58,800 technically very advanced and for them 135 00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:01,759 uh we will be very primitive and i think 136 00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:03,120 they will take the initiative to 137 00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:05,280 communicate with us but i think the most 138 00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:07,520 important thing is to be very open and 139 00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:09,680 assume that they have good intentions 140 00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:12,240 and then see how we can share what we 141 00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:14,319 know what they know and 142 00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:16,800 and well have an interesting 143 00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:25,189 my name is amani green i'm in fifth 144 00:07:30,390 --> 00:07:27,360 grade at vintage hill school for 145 00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:30,400 astronaut andre what experience on earth 146 00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:32,880 closely resembles or feels like being in 147 00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:42,390 well i for me the the thing that 148 00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:45,840 resembles space the most is uh is diving 149 00:07:50,550 --> 00:07:47,840 so being under water you can practice 150 00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:50,560 yourself in a pool just go underwater 151 00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:52,400 don't move just hang there so you don't 152 00:07:55,589 --> 00:07:54,400 feel anything not on your feet your 153 00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:55,599 hands 154 00:08:01,189 --> 00:07:57,120 and that resembles it a bit so the 155 00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:01,199 floating underwater uh is is something 156 00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:04,080 that that resembles it but 157 00:08:09,110 --> 00:08:05,840 that's also the risk if you come into 158 00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:09,120 space uh you have the tendency to try to 159 00:08:12,869 --> 00:08:10,800 swim so you have to be careful with your 160 00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:12,879 legs because you might kick off things 161 00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:15,280 from the walls and things like that so i 162 00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:18,240 i well being underwater floating still 163 00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:21,120 that if you do that then it comes a bit 164 00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:23,440 close and mentally well i would say go 165 00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:26,560 to an imax theater and the fantastic 166 00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:29,199 movies that that make you almost feel 167 00:08:36,070 --> 00:08:31,039 that you're there this is really really 168 00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:38,630 my name is stacy robles i'm in third 169 00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:41,360 grade at junction avenue school 170 00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:43,760 why does it take two days to travel the 171 00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:46,480 242 miles to the international space 172 00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:53,509 that's a very good question and a very 173 00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:55,600 complicated question you would think 174 00:08:59,910 --> 00:08:58,000 that since we're traveling at five miles 175 00:09:01,990 --> 00:08:59,920 per second we could get to the space 176 00:09:03,990 --> 00:09:02,000 station in about a minute but it's a 177 00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:04,000 little bit more complicated it depends 178 00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:06,240 on when you launch and where you launch 179 00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:08,560 from and when we first get to space 180 00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:10,160 we're at a different height a different 181 00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:12,560 altitude than the space station and so 182 00:09:17,509 --> 00:09:15,279 we're going at different relative speeds 183 00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:17,519 so it takes us time to go around the 184 00:09:21,509 --> 00:09:19,920 earth to catch up but there are ways 185 00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:21,519 that we can get here sooner and i 186 00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:23,120 wouldn't be surprised that if in the 187 00:09:28,389 --> 00:09:25,360 future instead of taking two days for us 188 00:09:31,110 --> 00:09:28,399 to get here we may change when we launch 189 00:09:33,590 --> 00:09:31,120 and how we uh use our engines to reach 190 00:09:40,070 --> 00:09:33,600 the space station and maybe get here in 191 00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:41,990 my name is diamond wesley i'm an eighth 192 00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:43,920 grade at junction avenue school for 193 00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:45,680 astronaut joe what is it like being on 194 00:09:53,269 --> 00:09:47,279 the international space station with 195 00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:54,630 it's pretty cool 196 00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:57,040 as you can see we have andre here who 197 00:10:01,509 --> 00:09:58,640 was giving me a good lesson on where 198 00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:01,519 he's from today so it's really exciting 199 00:10:06,389 --> 00:10:03,600 you learn about different cultures 200 00:10:08,949 --> 00:10:06,399 we also have russians on board when don 201 00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:08,959 and andre go home aki hoshide will be 202 00:10:13,509 --> 00:10:11,760 coming up and he's a japanese astronaut 203 00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:13,519 so i'm having a chance to live with a 204 00:10:16,150 --> 00:10:15,120 bunch of different people with different 205 00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:16,160 cultures 206 00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:17,360 it's cool 207 00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:18,800 you know we're speaking different 208 00:10:23,269 --> 00:10:21,600 languages and so it's a really neat it's 209 00:10:25,509 --> 00:10:23,279 kind of like being on earth and we have 210 00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:25,519 this representation of different uh 211 00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:27,120 groups but all here in the space station 212 00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:34,630 my name is denise toscano i'm an eighth 213 00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:36,480 grader at junction avenue school for 214 00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:38,560 astronaut don how does involvement from 215 00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:40,240 the private sector impact the daily 216 00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:42,240 operations on the international space 217 00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:49,110 uh right now 218 00:10:55,910 --> 00:10:52,640 the the commercial private sector are 219 00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:55,920 in the process of of delivering goods 220 00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:58,880 to space station a durable goods aids 221 00:11:02,710 --> 00:11:01,200 resupply for food and clothing and 222 00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:02,720 things like that 223 00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:05,279 and parts spare parts that we need and 224 00:11:10,790 --> 00:11:07,839 it's just started with 225 00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:10,800 the spacex dragon vehicle which we set 226 00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:13,360 back to earth just last week 227 00:11:19,829 --> 00:11:14,399 so 228 00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:19,839 and we'll get a ringside seat both up 229 00:11:26,949 --> 00:11:22,720 here and on earth to see what comes from 230 00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:28,550 my name is tina fey and i'm an eighth 231 00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:30,480 grade student at junction avenue k.a 232 00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:32,720 school for astronaut dawn what actions 233 00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:34,320 would you take if the international 234 00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:36,000 space station was ever punctured by 235 00:11:39,509 --> 00:11:37,920 flying debris and how much time would 236 00:11:45,509 --> 00:11:39,519 you have to make the repairs before it 237 00:11:50,069 --> 00:11:48,069 we practice emergencies on space station 238 00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:50,079 just so we'd be prepared for things like 239 00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:52,720 that uh we call this a depressurization 240 00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:53,680 event 241 00:11:58,069 --> 00:11:54,560 and 242 00:12:00,310 --> 00:11:58,079 like like a hole in your tire how far 243 00:12:02,389 --> 00:12:00,320 can you drive before your tire gets flat 244 00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:02,399 it kind of depends on how big the hole 245 00:12:06,870 --> 00:12:04,880 is and if it's just a little hole and 246 00:12:09,269 --> 00:12:06,880 say the nail is still in the hole you 247 00:12:11,190 --> 00:12:09,279 might be able to drive 25 or 30 miles 248 00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:11,200 before your tire gets flat 249 00:12:15,829 --> 00:12:14,320 if uh if it's a big hole uh you might 250 00:12:17,829 --> 00:12:15,839 barely be able to get to the side of the 251 00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:17,839 road before your tire gets flat and the 252 00:12:21,430 --> 00:12:19,360 same kind of thing is here on space 253 00:12:22,949 --> 00:12:21,440 station 254 00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:22,959 so 255 00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:25,040 the scenarios that we practice are 256 00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:26,720 scenarios where we would have anywhere 257 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:30,160 from 20 minutes to a number of hours 258 00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:31,440 before 259 00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:34,000 things would start to get dangerous and 260 00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:36,160 that gives us time to either get in our 261 00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:39,760 soyuz vehicle as an escape a lifeboat or 262 00:12:45,829 --> 00:12:43,040 it gives us a chance to try to 263 00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:45,839 close off the module that's leaking or 264 00:12:50,949 --> 00:12:48,160 even repair the leak if we can find 265 00:12:54,389 --> 00:12:50,959 where the hole is in the hall so 266 00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:54,399 we've got a a whole range of reactions 267 00:13:03,829 --> 00:12:57,839 that we can take to depressurization and 268 00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:05,430 my name is 269 00:13:09,990 --> 00:13:07,920 is joseph lestoki i'm in 7th grade at 270 00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:10,000 junction avenue school for astronaut 271 00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:12,240 andre how do you recover back home after 272 00:13:21,269 --> 00:13:19,350 well we have 273 00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:21,279 we have our drill sergeants on the 274 00:13:26,069 --> 00:13:23,680 ground the acers these are the the 275 00:13:27,910 --> 00:13:26,079 people that train us and that prepare us 276 00:13:29,829 --> 00:13:27,920 and keep us in good shape we have a lot 277 00:13:32,069 --> 00:13:29,839 of contact with them here on board so 278 00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:32,079 they they make sure that we do the right 279 00:13:37,269 --> 00:13:35,200 exercise we have weight training we are 280 00:13:40,230 --> 00:13:37,279 running we are bicycling 281 00:13:42,470 --> 00:13:40,240 and uh as soon as we come back we we 282 00:13:43,509 --> 00:13:42,480 will have to continue so we have a whole 283 00:13:45,509 --> 00:13:43,519 program 284 00:13:47,269 --> 00:13:45,519 we start in the pool actually because 285 00:13:49,269 --> 00:13:47,279 like i said earlier 286 00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:49,279 it's a bit easier it resembles a bit 287 00:13:54,790 --> 00:13:52,320 floating uh but we will do a lot of 288 00:13:57,189 --> 00:13:54,800 exercise physiotherapy 289 00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:57,199 to make sure that we get all our muscle 290 00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:59,199 strength muscle coordination and our 291 00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:01,680 bone density back so there will be a 292 00:14:06,389 --> 00:14:04,399 tough program for us and weightlessness 293 00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:06,399 is great but we also have to get back to 294 00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:09,600 uh to earth and that is probably a bit 295 00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:16,389 my 296 00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:20,480 i'm in fifth grade at junction avenue 297 00:14:24,550 --> 00:14:21,360 school 298 00:14:27,110 --> 00:14:24,560 astronaut joe when i say 299 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:57,750 man 300

on space station we have 312 00:16:11,749 --> 00:16:08,880 drills that we do for emergency and then 313 00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:11,759 we have a drill driver that we use with 314 00:16:20,710 --> 00:16:14,320 tools for drilling holes and driving 315 00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:24,710 okay all right my name is gerald agiano 316 00:16:31,189 --> 00:16:27,680 i'm in second grade at junction avenue 317

on the 320 00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:44,720 international space station is english 321 00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:46,079 so we all have to be able to speak 322 00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:48,320 english but all of us that are on board 323 00:16:51,509 --> 00:16:50,160 right now we also have to learn how to 324 00:16:53,269 --> 00:16:51,519 speak russian 325 00:16:54,069 --> 00:16:53,279 and that's a pretty hard language to 326 00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:54,079 learn 327 00:16:58,069 --> 00:16:56,320 and we're not all very good at it but we 328 00:17:00,389 --> 00:16:58,079 have to learn russian because the way we 329 00:17:02,710 --> 00:17:00,399 come to the space station now is on a 330 00:17:06,069 --> 00:17:02,720 russian spaceship and so we train a lot 331 00:17:07,829 --> 00:17:06,079 in russia our colleagues the cosmonauts 332 00:17:08,710 --> 00:17:07,839 they're russian and they speak russian 333 00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:08,720 so 334 00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:10,480 english in russian you have to know how 335 00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:12,880 to speak 336 00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:23,669 my my name is romano tulagan i'm in 8th 337 00:17:27,909 --> 00:17:25,600 grade at junction avenue school for 338

on the other side 344 00:17:53,350 --> 00:17:51,110 but we cannot we cannot work on that you 345 00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:53,360 cannot sleep for 346 00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:54,799 three quarters of an hour then be awake 347 00:17:58,870 --> 00:17:58,080 etc so what we use what we are using is 348 00:18:10,789 --> 00:17:58,880 a 349 00:18:12,070 --> 00:18:10,799 centers 350 00:18:15,350 -->

is the most 365 00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:52,310 that's difficult because 366 00:18:57,510 --> 00:18:54,960 there are things that are very special 367 00:18:59,830 --> 00:18:57,520 the floating this is
