1
00:00:06,470 --> 00:00:03,459
station this is Houston are you ready

2
00:00:15,270 --> 00:00:13,170
we are ready for the event J SCPA oh

3
00:00:19,290 --> 00:00:15,280
this is Houston please cross station for

4
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:19,300
a voice check station this is JSC Pai oh

5
00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:27,999
hello we hear you loud and clear awesome

6
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:29,990
okay so first we're going to go out to

7
00:00:34,869 --> 00:00:32,170
their social media followers who are at

8
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:34,879
the Kennedy Space Center in Florida for

9
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:36,710
the launch of NASA's radiation belt

10
00:00:47,410 --> 00:00:43,970
storm probes mission KSC over to you hi

11
00:00:50,110 --> 00:00:47,420
Joe this is rands adams at KSC twitter

12
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:50,120
handle at medic rands i was wondering

13
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:51,290
how do you cope with being away from

14
00:00:56,740 --> 00:00:53,089
your family for such a long period of

15
00:00:58,330 --> 00:00:56,750
time long-duration ISS crew members have

16
00:01:00,369 --> 00:00:58,340
said how isolating it could be aboard

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:00,379
the station what keeps you going and

18
00:01:10,140 --> 00:01:07,620
well don't tell my family but you know I

19
00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:10,150
don't feel too isolated up here you know

20
00:01:14,340 --> 00:01:12,460
we're talking to Mission Control all day

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:14,350
long they get to see us and we have a

22
00:01:19,530 --> 00:01:16,930
lot of communication there but with my

23
00:01:21,450 --> 00:01:19,540
family we speak every week on a

24
00:01:24,540 --> 00:01:21,460
videoconference so we see each other

25
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:24,550
often also have the telephone so I can

26
00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:27,130
call if I have to we have email so nASA

27
00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:28,540
has done a lot to keep us in

28
00:01:32,910 --> 00:01:30,369
communication with family and friends so

29
00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:32,920
it's really not too bad at all you know

30
00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:34,240
I was a Peace Corps volunteer and I

31
00:01:38,609 --> 00:01:36,369
lived somewhere without electricity and

32
00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:38,619
I felt a lot more isolated there than I

33
00:01:42,150 --> 00:01:39,040
do now

34
00:01:44,430 --> 00:01:42,160
and looking out the window is motivation

35
00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:44,440
to to keep to stay up here and just

36
00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:53,100
this is Dave Higgins at Dave Higgins one

37
00:01:57,630 --> 00:01:54,910
Twitter handle this questions for SUNY

38
00:01:59,970 --> 00:01:57,640
our night launches visible from the ISS

39
00:02:01,290 --> 00:01:59,980
and will the ISS be in a position to

40
00:02:05,820 --> 00:02:01,300
look for the Friday launch of the

41
00:02:09,790 --> 00:02:08,170
well launches are visible but you have

42
00:02:11,230 --> 00:02:09,800
to at the right place at the right time

43
00:02:14,770 --> 00:02:11,240
because you know we're going pretty fast

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:14,780
to 17,500 miles an hour or so and so we

45
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:18,530
zip zip past places pretty quickly we

46
00:02:23,050 --> 00:02:20,450
actually tried to look when the progress

47
00:02:25,570 --> 00:02:23,060
was launching out of Baikonur and we saw

48
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:25,580
the launch platform but we didn't get to

49
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:28,400
see a launch not exactly sure where

50
00:02:32,350 --> 00:02:30,110
we're gonna be on Friday at that

51
00:02:34,180 --> 00:02:32,360
particular time but if we're anywhere

52
00:02:36,220 --> 00:02:34,190
near Florida at night we'll be keeping

53
00:02:38,170 --> 00:02:36,230
our eyes open because nighttime viewing

54
00:02:40,510 --> 00:02:38,180
from the Space Station from the cupola

55
00:02:43,780 --> 00:02:40,520
is just incredible and you can really

56
00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:43,790
make out all sorts of cities and areas

57
00:02:48,010 --> 00:02:45,740
so I'm sure if there's xenon lights

58
00:02:50,050 --> 00:02:48,020
lighting up the launch pad at the Cape

59
00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:50,060
and we're anywhere nearby we'll be able

60
00:02:59,050 --> 00:02:56,510
to see it when I started a joke

61
00:03:01,330 --> 00:02:59,060
Pedro basket the Kennedy Space Center a

boy okay see mr Boyle fiesta chicken

75
00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:55,640
hi this is Evie murim spacegirl

76
00:03:59,780 --> 00:03:57,840
Evie with you my question is for SUNY

77
00:04:02,420 --> 00:03:59,790
and I would like to know how much

78
00:04:04,850 --> 00:04:02,430
radiation the ISS crew received during

79
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:04,860
an average six-month period mission

80
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:07,050
compared to that same amount of time on

81
00:04:15,370 --> 00:04:08,970
earth and what kind of protection do you

82
00:04:22,670 --> 00:04:21,020
don't know all the exact numbers but you

83
00:04:25,129 --> 00:04:22,680
know the fact that's thrown out there is

84
00:04:28,370 --> 00:04:25,139
it's about like 10 times the amount that

85
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:28,380
we get on earth per day so it's a pretty

86
00:04:33,950 --> 00:04:30,780
high amount of radiation that we get

87
00:04:36,350 --> 00:04:33,960
while we're up here however we've got

88
00:04:38,540 --> 00:04:36,360
radiation covering around the space

89
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:38,550
station we wear dosimeter x' all the

90
00:04:43,850 --> 00:04:40,800
time in fact we have them for when we go

91
00:04:45,770 --> 00:04:43,860
out on spacewalks as well to see if we

92
00:04:48,290 --> 00:04:45,780
get any additional radiation through the

93
00:04:50,210 --> 00:04:48,300
spacesuit and so it's monitored pretty

94
00:04:52,969 --> 00:04:50,220
well all of the modules in the space

95
00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:52,979
station also have radiation monitors and

96
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:55,110
that information gets sent back down to

97
00:04:58,490 --> 00:04:56,970
the ground and also our dosimeter x'

98
00:05:01,610 --> 00:04:58,500
when we come back home and so they can

99
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:01,620
get a good idea of exactly how much

100
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:04,410
radiation we get and yeah we do get

101
00:05:10,010 --> 00:05:07,110
warnings if there is some type of solar

102
00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:10,020
activity or high radiation event and if

103
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:12,240
that's the case then we'll go to a part

104
00:05:16,610 --> 00:05:14,240
of the station that's a little bit more

105
00:05:21,580 --> 00:05:16,620
sheltered and stuff to prevent us from

106
00:05:27,530 --> 00:05:25,220
hi this is Rena Warren Rena W on Twitter

107
00:05:29,330 --> 00:05:27,540
this question is for Jo there are so

108
00:05:31,190 --> 00:05:29,340
many NASA developed technologies that we

109
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:31,200
use in everyday life what if anything is

110
00:05:35,570 --> 00:05:33,210
in use on earth that came from an

111
00:05:37,790 --> 00:05:35,580
experiment on the ISS or technology

112
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:37,800
developed for the ISS and in the end

113
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:38,970
what do you think will be the biggest

114
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:47,350
well that's a great question and yeah

115
00:05:51,340 --> 00:05:49,370
over the years nASA has developed all

116
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:51,350
kinds of technologies that we use every

117
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:55,130
day and that continues today while we've

118
00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:56,930
since we've been up here Sonny just

119
00:06:02,140 --> 00:05:58,880
yesterday was working on a project with

120
00:06:03,790 --> 00:06:02,150
fire which is always fun and what they

121
00:06:05,890 --> 00:06:03,800
can get from that is we can learn the

122
00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:05,900
properties of fire and they can improve

123
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:08,240
the models that we use on the ground so

124
00:06:12,340 --> 00:06:10,010
there's a lot that's happening working

125
00:06:14,170 --> 00:06:12,350
with fluids and how they how they move

126
00:06:17,140 --> 00:06:14,180
in different types of tanks so we're

127
00:06:18,490 --> 00:06:17,150
continuously improving that and I would

128
00:06:20,980 --> 00:06:18,500
invite all of you to go to the NASA

129
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:20,990
website to the spin-offs section and you

130
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:23,060
can see everything that NASA has done

131
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:24,770
and I can guarantee you'll find

132
00:06:29,650 --> 00:06:26,810
something that you use that is a spinoff

133
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:29,660
from NASA and what we might find in the

134
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:32,210
future what's cool now is the ISS as a

135
00:06:36,490 --> 00:06:34,400
National Lab so what that means is that

136
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:36,500
in the future half the science we do

137
00:06:40,810 --> 00:06:39,050
will be proposed by scientists around

138
00:06:42,580 --> 00:06:40,820
the world and the other half will be

139
00:06:45,610 --> 00:06:42,590
done by NASA scientists so we can go out

140
00:06:47,260 --> 00:06:45,620
further past low-earth orbit and what's

141
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:47,270
cool about exploration is you don't know

142
00:06:50,530 --> 00:06:48,650
what you're gonna find and that's what

143
00:06:51,550 --> 00:06:50,540
I'm excited about I think some cool

144
00:06:57,280 --> 00:06:51,560
things are going to happen here in the

145
00:07:02,270 --> 00:06:59,540
Thank You Jo and Sonny now we're gonna

146
00:07:03,770 --> 00:07:02,280
go to social media followers who are on

147
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:03,780
our phone bridge they're calling from

148
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:05,520
all over the world so callers on the

149
00:07:08,990 --> 00:07:06,930
phone will you please state your name

150
00:07:12,620 --> 00:07:09,000
and also where you're calling from let's

151
00:07:14,990 --> 00:07:12,630
go with number one Laura this is Laura a

152
00:07:17,210 --> 00:07:15,000
trio yet oh I'm science worker on

153
00:07:20,030 --> 00:07:17,220
Twitter and I'm calling from San Carlos

154
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:20,040
de Bariloche Patagonia in Argentina this

155
00:07:25,790 --> 00:07:22,650
question is for suni why is it important

156
00:07:28,550 --> 00:07:25,800
that human beings not just robot explore

157
00:07:36,620 --> 00:07:28,560
space for example Mars do you live and

158
00:07:37,850 --> 00:07:36,630
work with many robots aboard a DSS Laura

159
00:07:39,620 --> 00:07:37,860
is a matter of fact you could probably

160
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:39,630
see Robonaut right in front of us and

161
00:07:44,810 --> 00:07:42,690
today we brought him out to try him out

162
00:07:47,810 --> 00:07:44,820
and see how he could do for some of the

163
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:47,820
simple tasks as we're trying to actually

164
00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:50,370
perfect robots so that they can actually

165
00:07:55,910 --> 00:07:53,280
use their hands his hands are actually

166
00:07:57,710 --> 00:07:55,920
like our hands and so he's gonna trying

167
00:07:59,330 --> 00:07:57,720
to do some fine dexterous things and

168
00:08:01,490 --> 00:07:59,340
then in the future we can potentially

169
00:08:03,770 --> 00:08:01,500
use something like this outside to do

170
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:03,780
tasks that right now we have to do so

171
00:08:07,580 --> 00:08:05,910
yeah humans have to be in space at this

172
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:07,590
moment in time to do stuff like

173
00:08:11,570 --> 00:08:10,170
spacewalks and do some of the fine

174
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:11,580
manipulations stuff if we're gonna

175
00:08:15,020 --> 00:08:14,670
change boxes or electronics equipment

176
00:08:17,420 --> 00:08:15,030
outside

177
00:08:19,820 --> 00:08:17,430
and speaking of exploration you know

178
00:08:21,470 --> 00:08:19,830
think about you know the Rovers that are

179
00:08:24,410 --> 00:08:21,480
on Mars that's just incredible that

180
00:08:26,060 --> 00:08:24,420
curiosity is there and doing its thing

181
00:08:28,730 --> 00:08:26,070
but if it runs across something that

182
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:28,740
maybe we hadn't planned it's gonna mean

183
00:08:33,260 --> 00:08:30,510
people that back on earth are gonna have

184
00:08:35,719 --> 00:08:33,270
to sit down think about all the pros and

185
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:35,729
cons to make a decision now if there was

186
00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:37,650
a human there on Mars they could use

187
00:08:41,870 --> 00:08:39,570
their best judgment engineering judgment

188
00:08:43,580 --> 00:08:41,880
scientific judgment medical judgment to

189
00:08:45,950 --> 00:08:43,590
make that decision pretty quick and

190
00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:45,960
things could happen a lot more rapid so

191
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:48,720
I think humans are definitely needed for

192
00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:51,690
further of exploration and to find to

193
00:08:55,670 --> 00:08:53,360
find things that we didn't even expect

194
00:08:58,340 --> 00:08:55,680
machines usually do things that we

195
00:09:00,260 --> 00:08:58,350
expect it's more the human beings right

196
00:09:06,290 --> 00:09:00,270
that's curious and to find the next

197
00:09:08,940 --> 00:09:06,300
thing that we need to explore my name is

198
00:09:10,530 --> 00:09:08,950
Roy Roy I'm also played on Twitter

199
00:09:13,949 --> 00:09:10,540
and I'm calling from Raleigh North

200
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:13,959
Carolina my question is for Joe and

201
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:15,940
other than your family what is the thing

202
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:18,010
that you mission both from Earth what

203
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:19,690
are you most looking forward to when

204
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:28,100
well I think the after being here for a

205
00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:29,850
little more than three months and I have

206
00:09:32,449 --> 00:09:30,809
one more to go

207
00:09:33,739 --> 00:09:32,459
the one thing that I miss and I'm

208
00:09:35,900 --> 00:09:33,749
looking forward to is actually the

209
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:35,910
climate back on earth you know we live

210
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:38,730
in this fairly sterile environment which

211
00:09:41,929 --> 00:09:40,050
is very comfortable if you live in

212
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:41,939
Houston this time of year but I look

213
00:09:45,169 --> 00:09:43,290
forward to getting back and feeling that

214
00:09:48,139 --> 00:09:45,179
Sun on my face sitting by the pool

215
00:09:49,819 --> 00:09:48,149
working on my tan a little bit you know

216
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:49,829
just feeling the Sun feeling the wind

217
00:09:54,169 --> 00:09:51,809
feeling the rain those are things that

218
00:09:56,059 --> 00:09:54,179
we miss up here and I don't know maybe a

219
00:10:00,169 --> 00:09:56,069
barbecue bacon cheeseburger with the

220
00:10:02,449 --> 00:10:00,179
vanilla shake would be good hi this is

221
00:10:05,989 --> 00:10:02,459
Newton calling from Liverpool and

222
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:05,999
England and my question for Sonny I know

223
00:10:09,379 --> 00:10:07,529
that you've got spiders on board at the

224
00:10:14,749 --> 00:10:09,389
moment but what are the creatures have

225
00:10:16,309 --> 00:10:14,759
made it onto the ISS yeah you're

226
00:10:17,540 --> 00:10:16,319
absolutely right we have two spiders and

227
00:10:20,540 --> 00:10:17,550
their habitats and we've been watching

228
00:10:22,669 --> 00:10:20,550
them prey on the fruit flies it's been

229
00:10:24,410 --> 00:10:22,679
pretty interesting in the past we've

230
00:10:26,569 --> 00:10:24,420
actually had some other spiders and I

231
00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:26,579
think that was the first time I've was

232
00:10:31,249 --> 00:10:28,649
able to answer a question that I got

233
00:10:33,259 --> 00:10:31,259
from a fifth-grader about how do spiders

234
00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:33,269
make webs in space and that's it

235
00:10:37,309 --> 00:10:35,519
actually was a pretty interesting thing

236
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:37,319
for us to watch real time here and

237
00:10:42,049 --> 00:10:40,110
earlier previously they they pretty much

238
00:10:46,119 --> 00:10:42,059
adapt other animals that we've had we've

239
00:10:48,590 --> 00:10:46,129
had mice up here before not too long ago

240
00:10:50,030 --> 00:10:48,600
on the space station I think those are

241
00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:50,040
all the animals we've had but in the

242
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:52,529
future we're going to have fish our

243
00:10:57,230 --> 00:10:54,720
other crew mate Aki hoshide from JAXA

244
00:10:59,509 --> 00:10:57,240
from Japan has been getting the aquarium

245
00:11:01,129 --> 00:10:59,519
ready to go and I think on the net

246
00:11:02,569 --> 00:11:01,139
within the by the end of the year we

247
00:11:08,359 --> 00:11:02,579
should have some fish up here to put in

248
00:11:09,980 --> 00:11:08,369
there and see how they work hi my name

249
00:11:12,109 --> 00:11:09,990
is Aidan Callahan I'm calling from

250
00:11:14,509 --> 00:11:12,119
Boston Massachusetts my question is for

251
00:11:16,699 --> 00:11:14,519
Joe would having a permanent low Earth

252
00:11:21,239 --> 00:11:16,709
orbit station be feasible and how do we

253
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:23,650
yeah I definitely think it's feasible

254
00:11:27,579 --> 00:11:25,610
and you could almost look at the Space

255
00:11:29,710 --> 00:11:27,589
Station we're in now and call this a

256
00:11:32,259 --> 00:11:29,720
permanent structure it's been here for

257
00:11:33,819 --> 00:11:32,269
the past almost 12 years and we have

258
00:11:36,609 --> 00:11:33,829
agreements in place to keep it here

259
00:11:38,290 --> 00:11:36,619
until 2020 so we're looking at a 20 year

260
00:11:40,449 --> 00:11:38,300
period of having the space station so I

261
00:11:42,999 --> 00:11:40,459
think we've proven that you can't have a

262
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:43,009
structure in low-earth orbit for a long

263
00:11:48,009 --> 00:11:45,110
period of time and it may continue even

264
00:11:50,470 --> 00:11:48,019
longer and what we really need to keep

265
00:11:52,889 --> 00:11:50,480
this one going or future stations in

266
00:11:55,030 --> 00:11:52,899
orbit is the support of the community

267
00:11:57,309 --> 00:11:55,040
you know this is an International Space

268
00:11:58,780 --> 00:11:57,319
Station it's not just one country but

269
00:12:00,549 --> 00:11:58,790
when you get the whole earth working

270
00:12:02,410 --> 00:12:00,559
together it's amazing what we can do and

271
00:12:04,749 --> 00:12:02,420
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot more

272
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:04,759
people in the future are orbiting there

273
00:12:11,379 --> 00:12:08,720
it's just like we are today this is

274
00:12:14,439 --> 00:12:11,389
James Gomez at so much James I'm calling

275
00:12:16,449 --> 00:12:14,449
from Aliso Viejo California sunny what's

276
00:12:22,250 --> 00:12:16,459
been the most memorable event so far of

277
00:12:27,470 --> 00:12:25,700
I think probably you know coming up here

278
00:12:30,590 --> 00:12:27,480
on a Russian spacecraft the Soyuz was

279
00:12:33,410 --> 00:12:30,600
pretty unique last time I flew up here

280
00:12:35,180 --> 00:12:33,420
was on a u.s. space shuttle and that was

281
00:12:36,950 --> 00:12:35,190
just amazing you know first time going

282
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:36,960
to space it's just awesome and the

283
00:12:40,970 --> 00:12:38,970
rockets huge and it makes a lot of noise

284
00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:40,980
but the Soyuz is something something

285
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:43,440
different and in particular working with

286
00:12:46,940 --> 00:12:45,090
our international partners our Russian

287
00:12:48,740 --> 00:12:46,950
partners and understanding and learning

288
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:48,750
about the history of that program and

289
00:12:53,630 --> 00:12:51,030
then you know coming here and docking to

290
00:12:56,180 --> 00:12:53,640
the International station that that part

291
00:12:58,730 --> 00:12:56,190
has been really awesome but you know

292
00:13:01,940 --> 00:12:58,740
parallel to that was when HTV when Jo

293
00:13:03,410 --> 00:13:01,950
and Aki grabbed HTV and docked that to

294
00:13:04,610 --> 00:13:03,420
the International Space Station and I

295
00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:04,620
think you're getting the gist of what

296
00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:06,480
I'm saying is when when anything new

297
00:13:11,900 --> 00:13:09,570
comes it's it's always exciting we also

298
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:11,910
had a progress that came up to the space

299
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:14,130
station and it launched and got here

300
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:16,170
within one day so that's a brand new

301
00:13:20,210 --> 00:13:18,330
flight profile so that's been all of

302
00:13:21,740 --> 00:13:20,220
that dynamic stuffs been really exciting

303
00:13:23,510 --> 00:13:21,750
and I'm not saying the science isn't

304
00:13:25,970 --> 00:13:23,520
either it's just we sort of get all

305
00:13:28,070 --> 00:13:25,980
ramped up for the the dynamic parts and

306
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:28,080
then so that makes it just a lot of fun

307
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:29,850
to wake up the next day and see what's

308
00:13:35,930 --> 00:13:32,010
what's on the plate for for what what's

309
00:13:38,330 --> 00:13:35,940
going to happen hey guys my name is

310
00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:38,340
Yessenia Roy Oh Twitter handle yeah NASA

311
00:13:42,650 --> 00:13:39,870
seven I'm calling from Orlando Florida

312
00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:42,660
and this question is for Joe how our

313
00:13:46,370 --> 00:13:44,700
astronauts dealing with bone loss have

314
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:46,380
any new discoveries been made to help

315
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:53,790
yeah bone loss and muscle atrophy is a

316
00:13:57,930 --> 00:13:56,050
big problem that we have up being up

317
00:14:00,780 --> 00:13:57,940
here for a long period of time but we've

318
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:00,790
come a long way and so for the their

319
00:14:04,860 --> 00:14:03,250
muscles and the bone we exercise every

320
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:04,870
day for about two hours

321
00:14:10,050 --> 00:14:06,850
part of it is on this stationary bicycle

322
00:14:11,970 --> 00:14:10,060
that we have here but we also have see

323
00:14:13,770 --> 00:14:11,980
look at that that's how good it is and

324
00:14:15,410 --> 00:14:13,780
we also have a machine called a red

325
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:15,420
which is a resistive exercise device

326
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:18,210
that feels just like a universal machine

327
00:14:23,790 --> 00:14:21,490
in any you know back home and we have a

328
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:23,800
treadmill that we wear a harness so we

329
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:26,710
can run on that and that impact also

330
00:14:31,020 --> 00:14:28,810
helps with reducing the bone loss so

331
00:14:33,510 --> 00:14:31,030
with those three things we've learned a

332
00:14:35,460 --> 00:14:33,520
lot about it we're also taking part in

333
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:35,470
an experiment where we eat special diets

334
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:38,290
to see if the foods that we eat if that

335
00:14:42,180 --> 00:14:40,570
can change what our bone loss is like so

336
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:42,190
we've come a long way we have a lot to

337
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:44,290
learn and what's neat is what we learn

338
00:14:48,210 --> 00:14:46,450
up here we're also going to be be able

339
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:48,220
to use back home so there's a lot going

340
00:15:01,500 --> 00:14:50,050
on and there's always something new to

341
00:15:05,130 --> 00:15:01,510
learn when you're exploring next collar

342
00:15:07,290 --> 00:15:05,140
Holly yes my name is Holly Smarr and I'm

343
00:15:09,210 --> 00:15:07,300
calling from Lockport New York and my

344
00:15:11,130 --> 00:15:09,220
question is may you both briefly share

345
00:15:16,009 --> 00:15:11,140
your thoughts on what the Mars Curiosity

346
00:15:20,460 --> 00:15:18,629
sure that was a pretty exciting day up

347
00:15:23,119 --> 00:15:20,470
here we actually got up a little bit

348
00:15:25,739 --> 00:15:23,129
early because it was about 5:30 our time

349
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:25,749
GMT to see what happened and we were

350
00:15:31,590 --> 00:15:29,050
anxiously watching NASA TV through our

351
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:31,600
radio links here to find out what

352
00:15:36,359 --> 00:15:33,490
happened and and I just think it was

353
00:15:38,759 --> 00:15:36,369
amazing I think you the whole public

354
00:15:41,369 --> 00:15:38,769
probably knows about the the landing

355
00:15:43,499 --> 00:15:41,379
profile and how it was how its entry

356
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:43,509
profile and it's pretty amazing you know

357
00:15:47,819 --> 00:15:45,610
brand-new technology really creative

358
00:15:50,249 --> 00:15:47,829
ideas you know a great group of people

359
00:15:51,929 --> 00:15:50,259
out at JPL you know that's what's gonna

360
00:15:54,119 --> 00:15:51,939
take us into the future and get us out

361
00:15:56,509 --> 00:15:54,129
of low Earth orbit so to me I think it's

362
00:15:58,530 --> 00:15:56,519
the next step it was really awesome

363
00:16:01,199 --> 00:15:58,540
yeah and son you hit it right on the

364
00:16:03,299 --> 00:16:01,209
head with you watch the landing you felt

365
00:16:05,850 --> 00:16:03,309
that excitement that was going on at JPL

366
00:16:07,319 --> 00:16:05,860
and so don't think that NASA isn't

367
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:07,329
exciting and we're not doing a lot of

368
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:09,730
neat things because we are and so that

369
00:16:14,369 --> 00:16:12,399
was just another milestone as part of

370
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:14,379
the exploration and so I think when you

371
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:15,730
have projects like that and then

372
00:16:19,739 --> 00:16:17,920
eventually having astronauts go to Mars

373
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:19,749
some really neat things are going to

374
00:16:29,939 --> 00:16:27,610
happen premiere most American my

375
00:16:37,019 --> 00:16:29,949
question is for Joe how is breathable

376
00:16:38,549 --> 00:16:37,029
oxygen generated aboard the station so

377
00:16:40,829 --> 00:16:38,559
basically the oxygen that we're

378
00:16:43,139 --> 00:16:40,839
generating we have two systems one on

379
00:16:44,970 --> 00:16:43,149
the the US side of it and the other one

380
00:16:46,650 --> 00:16:44,980
on the Russian segment and they both

381
00:16:49,470 --> 00:16:46,660
work the same where we're splitting

382
00:16:52,019 --> 00:16:49,480
water and from that you have hydrogen

383
00:16:53,789 --> 00:16:52,029
and oxygen we also have visiting

384
00:16:56,369 --> 00:16:53,799
vehicles that will come up and they can

385
00:16:58,859 --> 00:16:56,379
bring us oxygen and so we will also take

386
00:17:00,299 --> 00:16:58,869
it from those tanks and in case we had

387
00:17:02,579 --> 00:17:00,309
some kind of a situation where we

388
00:17:04,350 --> 00:17:02,589
couldn't make our own we have a couple

389
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:04,360
of devices that we can go through a

390
00:17:08,490 --> 00:17:06,730
chemical reaction and produce oxygen so

391
00:17:10,590 --> 00:17:08,500
we're in good shape and with the way

392
00:17:12,149 --> 00:17:10,600
that we can recycle water now it's

393
00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:12,159
almost as if we have an endless supply

394
00:17:18,539 --> 00:17:16,510
that we can generate hi suni my name is

395
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:18,549
Andres Almeida my name is Andres David

396
00:17:22,740 --> 00:17:21,130
I'm coming from Washington DC what other

397
00:17:29,980 --> 00:17:22,750
sorts of experiments would be conducted

398
00:17:35,330 --> 00:17:33,740
so like we alluded to earlier we're

399
00:17:37,370 --> 00:17:35,340
doing a whole myriad of experiments on

400
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:37,380
ourselves that's you know first and

401
00:17:40,940 --> 00:17:39,510
foremost like a biology experiments

402
00:17:43,220 --> 00:17:40,950
trying to find out what happens to the

403
00:17:45,460 --> 00:17:43,230
human body living here in space for a

404
00:17:49,820 --> 00:17:45,470
long period of time and Joe touched on

405
00:17:51,980 --> 00:17:49,830
bone loss bone density muscle loss and

406
00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:51,990
density and also another experiment

407
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:54,240
cardiac find out what is actually going

408
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:56,250
on with your heart in space you know

409
00:18:00,140 --> 00:17:58,170
it's a muscle so it absolutely you know

410
00:18:01,610 --> 00:18:00,150
probably more than likely shrinks a

411
00:18:03,770 --> 00:18:01,620
little bit in space and so how is that

412
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:03,780
all affecting the way we're doing stuff

413
00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:06,210
on ourselves also we're doing reaction

414
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:08,640
type testing how does the body over time

415
00:18:13,490 --> 00:18:11,610
react may that that might change the way

416
00:18:15,380 --> 00:18:13,500
we design control systems if we're in

417
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:15,390
space for a long time going like to Mars

418
00:18:19,310 --> 00:18:17,010
and maybe might have to make a control

419
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:19,320
system that would be a little bit more

420
00:18:23,390 --> 00:18:21,570
applicable to it it changed reaction

421
00:18:24,650 --> 00:18:23,400
time but other things who are doing

422
00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:24,660
those are just things on ourselves and

423
00:18:28,010 --> 00:18:26,160
there's more than than what I'm saying

424
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:28,020
but there's also like materials type

425
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:30,870
stuff capillary flow the you know the

426
00:18:35,570 --> 00:18:32,730
burning fire experiments that I was

427
00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:35,580
talking about that Joe was talking about

428
00:18:40,250 --> 00:18:37,080
there's experiments that are going on

429
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:40,260
outside with AMS there's Robonaut type

430
00:18:44,270 --> 00:18:42,570
of experiments so there's a ton of

431
00:18:46,220 --> 00:18:44,280
things also like I talked about earlier

432
00:18:48,650 --> 00:18:46,230
the you know the animals that we have up

433
00:18:50,930 --> 00:18:48,660
here the spiders the fish and you know

434
00:18:53,330 --> 00:18:50,940
tons of experiments from like Joe said

435
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:53,340
all over the world and so I mean too

436
00:18:56,540 --> 00:18:55,290
many even to talk about and like Joe

437
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:56,550
said on the NASA website there's

438
00:18:59,900 --> 00:18:58,290
probably a ton of them if you want to

439
00:19:02,300 --> 00:18:59,910
take a look and see what we're doing on

440
00:19:03,890 --> 00:19:02,310
a daily basis basis and I'm sort of

441
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:03,900
surprised every day I wake up and I look

442
00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:05,730
at our schedule and there's something

443
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:06,990
new on there that I've never done before

444
00:19:12,140 --> 00:19:10,410
so it's exciting to be up here and we we

445
00:19:16,550 --> 00:19:12,150
appreciate all the pis who are taking

446
00:19:18,770 --> 00:19:16,560
advantage of this laboratory station

447
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:18,780
this is JC PA oh thank you very much for

448
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:20,370
all the wonderful answers you guys

449
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:22,050
provided we were able to get through all

450
00:19:27,470 --> 00:19:24,570
of the colors and we have run out of

451
00:19:30,170 --> 00:19:27,480
time and as always we really appreciate

452
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:30,180
everything you do for us and happy 100

453
00:19:37,990 --> 00:19:36,580
thank you very much it's gone by quickly

454
00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:38,000
and thanks for joining us today it was

455
00:19:42,730 --> 00:19:40,910
fun talking to you all the station this

456
00:19:46,690 --> 00:19:42,740
is Houston ACR that concludes the event

457
00:19:48,970 --> 00:19:46,700
thank you thank you to all participants
