1 00:00:06,230 --> 00:00:04,070 this is the second mission uh on nemo 2 00:00:07,510 --> 00:00:06,240 where we've looked at at uh visiting an 3 00:00:09,669 --> 00:00:07,520 asteroid 4 00:00:10,549 --> 00:00:09,679 if you go back to your experience on 5 00:00:13,509 --> 00:00:10,559 board 6 00:00:16,390 --> 00:00:13,519 shuttle and roaming around station 7 00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:16,400 um how do you find that life on aquarius 8 00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:22,470 oh it reminds me of 9 00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:24,720 both places that i have had a chance to 10 00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:25,920 be at 11 00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:27,439 of course 12 00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:33,750 is surely a sprint 13 00:00:38,069 --> 00:00:35,920 the moment you launch to the moment you 14 00:00:40,549 --> 00:00:38,079 land you are go go go 15 00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:40,559 and uh over these last few days we have 16 00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:43,520 the go go go from six o'clock in the 17 00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:46,000 morning till late at night 18 00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:48,320 but it's just such a pleasure to do all 19 00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:50,640 that work so that part compares with the 20 00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:51,680 shuttle 21 00:00:56,830 --> 00:00:53,760 but the inside of this habitat which is 22 00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:56,840 about the size of a school bus 23 00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:59,440 is on a small international space 24 00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:00,719 station 25 00:01:04,789 --> 00:01:02,800 and uh we 26 00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:04,799 at a week of training leading up to this 27 00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:06,640 we were taught about the redundant 28 00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:08,080 systems 29 00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:10,159 and uh just a couple nights ago we 30 00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:13,040 experienced those redundant systems when 31 00:01:16,630 --> 00:01:14,560 one of the 32 00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:16,640 ac power went down 33 00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:19,280 and folks came out and got the other ac 34 00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:20,720 power going 35 00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:23,119 and that was because we had a storm 36 00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:26,880 going on we have sea swell here and 37 00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:28,560 it reminded me a lot about a space 38 00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:30,560 station with all of our power 39 00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:34,240 redundancies our ways to provide oxygen 40 00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:37,119 to scrub the carbon dioxide 41 00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:39,280 so there's so many good comparisons 42 00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:41,200 between both 43 00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:49,350 based on what you imagined a mission to 44 00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:51,520 an asteroid would be like since we 45 00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:54,000 haven't done that yet do you see you see 46 00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:56,159 this training as realistic is it is it 47 00:02:01,030 --> 00:01:57,920 something that that you find beneficial 48 00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:01,040 and and uh add some realism to your 49 00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:02,479 your thoughts about what it will really 50 00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:03,920 be like when you get to go to an 51 00:02:12,229 --> 00:02:09,029 it's it's been an incredibly realistic 52 00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:12,239 mission yes absolutely um 53 00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:14,959 i was lucky enough to do a caves mission 54 00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:17,520 uh last september with a european space 55 00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:19,200 agency and that was uh what i thought at 56 00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:21,280 the time was a good analog for the space 57 00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:22,480 site but 58 00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:25,440 i don't think you can beat aquarius on 59 00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:27,599 what we've been doing down here as far 60 00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:30,080 as the space analog is concerned 61 00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:32,160 it's the next best thing to uh to 62 00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:34,400 actually going into space 63 00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:36,720 i would imagine being down here and 64 00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:39,040 isolated as a crew working together for 65 00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:40,879 a long period of time 66 00:02:44,869 --> 00:02:43,200 being able to do the neutral buoyancy 67 00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:44,879 tasks that we've done 68 00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:47,040 and also being involved with uh the 69 00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:49,360 submersibles and the ability to bring 70 00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:51,440 you know big pieces of machinery down 71 00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:53,360 here deep workers submersibles working 72 00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:55,920 with real rocks real sediments 73 00:03:01,910 --> 00:02:58,239 it's been a fantastic simulation 74 00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:01,920 scenario and a tremendous mission and uh 75 00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:04,720 i think i have gained a huge amount 76 00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:06,640 i've learned a lot about myself and i've 77 00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:08,400 learned a lot about my my crew mates 78 00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:10,319 we've had a great time got on really 79 00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:11,360 well 80 00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:12,879 and it's just been a tremendous 81 00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:14,720 experience all round one that i i will 82 00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:16,640 treasure and i will learn an awful lot 83 00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:18,800 from and hopefully take that forward 84 00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:25,509 today i understand is the 40th 85 00:03:30,070 --> 00:03:27,519 anniversary of title ix 86 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:30,080 which uh was the act that actually made 87 00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:33,760 it possible for women to to uh more in 88 00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,680 energetically get into the fields of 89 00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:37,280 science and engineering by actually 90 00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:39,120 entering those fields of study in in 91 00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:40,640 colleges and universities most people 92 00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:42,560 think about it all the time with respect 93 00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:44,799 to athletics but it also opened new 94 00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:47,440 avenues for women you're an incredible 95 00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:49,519 role model for my three granddaughters 96 00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:51,519 and um hopefully they're gonna they're 97 00:03:55,589 --> 00:03:54,640 gonna watch this uh as we replay it and 98 00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:55,599 maybe 99 00:04:03,190 --> 00:03:57,280 one at least one of them will want to be 100 00:04:06,789 --> 00:04:04,470 well i 101 00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:06,799 i have to say that i am very glad that 102 00:04:10,789 --> 00:04:09,360 title ix came along 103 00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:10,799 and uh 104 00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:13,360 you know my mom was a mathematician 105 00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:16,400 and i grew up just knowing that 106 00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:19,040 because of her strengths that um 107 00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:21,840 i was interested in math and science and 108 00:04:26,830 --> 00:04:24,560 i know that she had had to face some 109 00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:26,840 struggles but 110 00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:30,000 thankfully in my generation i was able 111 00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:32,800 to study science and and never have to 112 00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:35,040 deal with those uh face the same 113 00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:38,000 struggles and i was able to be 114 00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:40,720 an athlete in college and run on both 115 00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:42,639 the cross country and track team and 116 00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:44,560 compete there 117 00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:47,600 and my daughter who is just now five and 118 00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:49,440 is probably also watching with your 119 00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:51,199 granddaughters 120 00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:53,120 believes that she can do whatever she 121 00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:55,680 wants and knows no boundaries and i am 122 00:04:59,189 --> 00:04:57,360 so proud of her 123 00:05:10,629 --> 00:04:59,199 and i'm so thankful for all that led 124 00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:29,909 yeah we're ready 125 00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:31,990 spread 126 00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:33,680 and 127 00:05:43,360 --> 00:06:00,950 so 128 00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:03,029 hey doc 129 00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:04,960 tell them that their power inflator 130 00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:07,039 might fall behind their left shoulder so 131 00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:08,800 they might have to reach up 132 00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:10,319 behind okay 133 00:06:27,909 --> 00:06:11,360 let them know 134 00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:31,270 okay you guys ready to get in the water 135 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:46,950 you're 136 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,790 three thousand you ready just put my cap 137 00:08:17,430 --> 00:06:52,590 pink three 138 00:09:02,550 --> 00:08:29,189 so 139 00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:10,630 that's a good idea 140 00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:12,710 i think it will work really yeah okay 141 00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:14,640 get your brp 142 00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:17,120 and put it on one of those little
