1
00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:02,869
affirmative the space station and i are

2
00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:14,789
canadian space and cpo this is mission

3
00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:16,640
control in houston please call the

4
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:18,880
station for a voice check houston please

5
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:21,119
call people for voice check

6
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:23,920
hi chris it's julie

7
00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:38,630
we hear you loud and clear we have the

8
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:53,430
good morning this is mr henry

9
00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:55,760
obviously you have taken advantage of

10
00:01:01,750 --> 00:00:58,480
your stay in the space station we're

11
00:01:05,350 --> 00:01:01,760
following you especially on twitter do

12
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:05,360
you think really becoming to become

13
00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:08,560
the main astronaut uh the most followed

14
00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:18,149
this is an interesting idea i am just

15
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:20,240
a member of the

16
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:22,640
rest of the team here and we are very

17
00:01:27,990 --> 00:01:25,280
busy with the experiences with the with

18
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:28,000
operating the station itself and also we

19
00:01:31,429 --> 00:01:30,240
have the technology

20
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:31,439
that is

21
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:33,920
better to communicate what we're doing

22
00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:38,159
here exploring space it's not just tv

23
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:41,920
not just email but now we can use

24
00:01:47,109 --> 00:01:44,240
my income the other

25
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:47,119
social media such as twitter so that

26
00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:49,600
immediately people can know what we're

27
00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:52,159
doing here on space and for the rest of

28
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:53,759
the team here

29
00:01:57,429 --> 00:01:55,680
it's very for the rest of the crew it's

30
00:01:59,830 --> 00:01:57,439
very interesting it's very interesting

31
00:02:02,789 --> 00:01:59,840
for me and for canada and for the rest

32
00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:02,799
of the world actually since it's just us

33
00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:05,840
but with technology this is amazing

34
00:02:18,869 --> 00:02:16,630
hi chris peter ray from the canadian

35
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:18,879
press everybody's been following you on

36
00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:20,560
twitter and i think this morning you

37
00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:24,800
were approaching 160 000 followers

38
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:26,640
i noted you're about 10 times more than

39
00:02:30,949 --> 00:02:28,400
tom marshburn

40
00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:30,959
first of all let's talk about uh

41
00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:32,560
the twitter and secondly let's talk

42
00:02:37,910 --> 00:02:35,040
about all those photos first of all

43
00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:37,920
160 000 followers and that's only i

44
00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:40,319
think within 21 days you started at 20

45
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:50,150
well with any new technology uh peter it

46
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:52,800
uh it takes a while for people to to get

47
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:54,640
used to it and to start using it to look

48
00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:56,319
at look at anything look at telephones a

49
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,879
little over 100 years ago or or airbags

50
00:03:02,790 --> 00:03:00,720
in cars even though the technology

51
00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:02,800
exists more and more people become aware

52
00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:04,959
of how useful it can be and what we're

53
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:07,599
doing on space station is fundamentally

54
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,560
fascinating and i think the evidence it

55
00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:12,640
shows through a measure like twitter

56
00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:13,360
where

57
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:15,519
the uh of course the exploration we're

58
00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:17,280
doing the experiments we're doing but

59
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:20,080
the view that it gives us of the world

60
00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:21,280
and the

61
00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:23,200
i think the way that it encapsulates

62
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:25,519
encapsulates where we are in history as

63
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:28,400
well of people permanently living earth

64
00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:29,840
with these new technologies

65
00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:32,560
communications we can directly

66
00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:34,480
give people the human side of that and

67
00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:38,239
the fact that uh now gosh over 150 000

68
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:40,080
people are directly following what we're

69
00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:41,840
doing here every day i think it's just a

70
00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:44,159
direct measure of of how important and

71
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:53,190
just one follow-up

72
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:55,360
talking about those photos everybody is

73
00:03:57,990 --> 00:03:57,200
talking about the images you're sending

74
00:04:00,390 --> 00:03:58,000
back

75
00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:00,400
just talk a little bit about those uh in

76
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,319
english and then in french and tell me

77
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:04,080
is there any favorite or was there any

78
00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:05,920
among those photos that you've taken

79
00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:08,400
that really strikes you as uh as you

80
00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:16,949
since my first flight to the russian

81
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:20,160
space station mir back 17 years ago i've

82
00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:22,639
always maintained that the favorite

83
00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:24,720
pastime of astronauts is is looking at

84
00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:26,639
the world out the window it is

85
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:28,960
it is so fundamentally beautiful and

86
00:04:33,189 --> 00:04:31,040
mesmerizing and i've been doing my best

87
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:33,199
with words to try and describe it ever

88
00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:36,080
since i first saw it from onboard space

89
00:04:42,390 --> 00:04:39,120
shuttle atlantis just after we launched

90
00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:42,400
and now uh i can directly as i see

91
00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:44,400
beautiful things send those pictures to

92
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:46,240
the ground and you can see the reaction

93
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:49,120
it has captured the eyes and therefore

94
00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:51,040
the minds and imaginations of so many

95
00:04:55,189 --> 00:04:51,919
people

96
00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:55,199
um it's such a wonderful place to better

97
00:04:58,469 --> 00:04:56,960
understand our planet

98
00:04:59,909 --> 00:04:58,479
and for me

99
00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:59,919
i love the beautiful pictures of the

100
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:01,440
world but the one that was the most

101
00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:04,240
significant for me was looking at

102
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:06,639
their noctilucent clouds these are

103
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:08,800
clouds that you can barely see from the

104
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:10,800
surface of the earth they're the highest

105
00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:13,280
clouds that exist tiny ice particles way

106
00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:15,600
up in the mesosphere and yet from orbit

107
00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:19,039
as the sun rises the light bounces off

108
00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:21,280
of those clouds directly into our eyes

109
00:05:25,430 --> 00:05:22,960
and we can see a part of the earth's

110
00:05:27,909 --> 00:05:25,440
atmosphere that's basically invisible to

111
00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:27,919
people on the surface to me that's both

112
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:29,520
beautiful because of the colors and

113
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:31,759
textures and ripples of it but it's also

114
00:05:36,390 --> 00:05:33,360
really significant it's a way to

115
00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:36,400
understand the changes in our atmosphere

116
00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:38,240
and way to understand exactly how our

117
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:40,240
atmosphere inner interacts with with the

118
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:42,960
universe beyond so the the ability to

119
00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:44,479
take pictures up here

120
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:46,479
it fulfills all sorts of different

121
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:48,880
purposes and needs and we are so lucky

122
00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:50,160
to be able to be the ones holding the

123
00:06:01,990 --> 00:05:57,270
it's just incredible to take a chance to

124
00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:02,000
take pictures like that it's amazing

125
00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:05,440
and since my first flight on

126
00:06:10,629 --> 00:06:07,680
the mares space

127
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:10,639
shuttle i have said that

128
00:06:14,629 --> 00:06:12,880
most favorite pastime for astronauts is

129
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:14,639
to be able to look out the window and

130
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:17,280
look at the earth from above it's

131
00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:20,720
truly fascinating and on this flight we

132
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:22,960
have the immediate technology with

133
00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:25,520
twitter to be able to provide these

134
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:29,280
images to earth and to the entire world

135
00:06:36,469 --> 00:06:32,319
and my favorite for me is the high

136
00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:36,479
clouds the noctilucent clouds

137
00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:38,720
which are almost impossible to see from

138
00:06:43,350 --> 00:06:40,960
earth but from the space station you can

139
00:06:45,670 --> 00:06:43,360
see them and they are so beautiful with

140
00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:45,680
the textures and colors and we see

141
00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:48,319
something very very interesting for the

142
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:50,960
scientists because this is something

143
00:06:55,029 --> 00:06:53,280
rare and actually

144
00:06:58,550 --> 00:06:55,039
an indication of the change of the

145
00:07:02,230 --> 00:06:58,560
atmosphere so here we are in a specific

146
00:07:05,189 --> 00:07:02,240
very unique location to be able to be a

147
00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:05,199
witness to these changes and everything

148
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:11,589
hello elizabeth howell from space.com um

149
00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:13,120
today's as you know is a special

150
00:07:17,350 --> 00:07:15,280
canadian day sort of on station and also

151
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:17,360
in nasa and i just was wondering uh what

152
00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:20,000
sort of uh aspects of canadiana are you

153
00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:22,400
trying to bring to the world as you're

154
00:07:33,749 --> 00:07:31,189
hello elizabeth um

155
00:07:36,230 --> 00:07:33,759
today on board the space station

156
00:07:37,350 --> 00:07:36,240
uh we operated canadarm2

157
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:37,360
and

158
00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:38,720
if you look at the direct link it's

159
00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:41,120
amazing we have uh the canadian space

160
00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:42,880
agency in santa barbara just outside

161
00:07:48,309 --> 00:07:45,520
montreal with controllers there who are

162
00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:48,319
monitoring the health of the canadarm

163
00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:50,080
they have people working down in houston

164
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:52,080
that are watching it uh canadians and

165
00:07:56,869 --> 00:07:54,720
and people from other countries and then

166
00:07:59,029 --> 00:07:56,879
sitting in mission control today was

167
00:08:01,350 --> 00:07:59,039
astronaut jeremy hansen this morning and

168
00:08:03,189 --> 00:08:01,360
astronaut david sanjak this afternoon

169
00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:03,199
and they're talking directly to me a

170
00:08:07,189 --> 00:08:05,680
canadian on board this space station as

171
00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:07,199
i have my hands and i'm operating

172
00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:08,720
canadarm2

173
00:08:13,029 --> 00:08:11,120
and that canadarm built this space

174
00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:13,039
station we're not the biggest partner by

175
00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:15,919
any means in the space station project

176
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:16,720
but

177
00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:18,960
we are a trusted and respected and

178
00:08:23,909 --> 00:08:21,360
capable partner and what canada has done

179
00:08:26,150 --> 00:08:23,919
is world class and to be able to link it

180
00:08:28,469 --> 00:08:26,160
right through from the the mission

181
00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:28,479
control back room at the canadian space

182
00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:31,039
agency in santa bare right through to my

183
00:08:34,709 --> 00:08:33,360
hands on the controls and canada arm

184
00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:34,719
moving around up here on the space

185
00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:37,039
station to me it's a real demonstration

186
00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:39,120
of international partnership but also a

187
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:40,880
real demonstration of canada's

188
00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:42,880
capabilities and some of the places we

189
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:49,190
just a quick follow-up do you have any

190
00:08:51,910 --> 00:08:50,560
parts of canadian culture that you're

191
00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:51,920
also trying to portray as well as the

192
00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:59,030
i think everybody's proud of where

193
00:09:02,870 --> 00:09:01,279
they're from on board

194
00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:02,880
we have

195
00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:06,000
people from belo russia from russia

196
00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:08,720
historically from the ukraine

197
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:11,040
tom and kevin from the united states and

198
00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:14,080
myself from canada when we get together

199
00:09:18,310 --> 00:09:16,480
we talk about family we talk about where

200
00:09:20,550 --> 00:09:18,320
we're from we talk about

201
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:20,560
things that we grew up with when we got

202
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:22,240
together for christmas and it was both

203
00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:24,480
the uh the 25th of december christmas

204
00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:26,399
and the russian orthodox christmas we

205
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:27,920
talked about each of us about what our

206
00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:29,680
traditions were and for new year's as

207
00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:31,600
well how we celebrated it with our

208
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:33,200
families and our friends

209
00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:34,000
and

210
00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:46,080
cover a lot of the world's

211
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:48,160
dirt a lot of the world's territory and

212
00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:50,000
so there's lots of opportunity while

213
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:51,839
you're looking out the window together

214
00:09:56,550 --> 00:09:54,320
to to share the experience and i've had

215
00:09:57,990 --> 00:09:56,560
several moments quietly floating in the

216
00:10:00,710 --> 00:09:58,000
cupola with one of the other crew

217
00:10:01,990 --> 00:10:00,720
members as the two of us in sort of a

218
00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:02,000
hushed

219
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:04,640
off-filled conversation talk about what

220
00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:07,360
we're seeing what it means to us

221
00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:09,519
what we feel sort of as

222
00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:11,360
as representatives of everyone that that

223
00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:13,600
we came from on earth and we share that

224
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:15,360
experience internationally up here the

225
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:17,360
space station is a wonderful crucible

226
00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:26,230
uh hi it's alan woods from the toronto

227
00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:27,760
star newspaper

228
00:10:32,389 --> 00:10:29,680
you're talking about the the impression

229
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:32,399
that some of these images uh leave with

230
00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:34,560
you one of the the images that i was

231
00:10:38,069 --> 00:10:37,120
struck by was uh your picture of uh

232
00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:38,079
syria

233
00:10:43,670 --> 00:10:41,600
peaceful from up here but you know the

234
00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:43,680
reality on the ground is much different

235
00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:44,640
how does

236
00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:47,279
what you're seeing change your

237
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:48,640
impression of the world when you come

238
00:10:58,790 --> 00:10:56,790
the uh

239
00:11:01,750 --> 00:10:58,800
the perspective that that

240
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:01,760
that we are subject to that we are

241
00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:03,440
privileged enough to see directly with

242
00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:05,120
our eyes

243
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:07,040
is one that i think

244
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:08,160
um

245
00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:10,480
would benefit everyone to go around the

246
00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:13,200
world in just slightly over 90 minutes

247
00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:15,360
to see the whole world in 90 minutes and

248
00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:16,800
then by the time you've come around the

249
00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:18,880
world with the world turning underneath

250
00:11:22,069 --> 00:11:20,640
you by the time you've come around the

251
00:11:24,069 --> 00:11:22,079
world

252
00:11:25,829 --> 00:11:24,079
it's turned and you come over a new part

253
00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:25,839
so the world just

254
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:29,120
unrolls itself for you and you see it

255
00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:32,160
absolutely discreetly as one place

256
00:11:36,150 --> 00:11:34,160
and so when we do look down in a place

257
00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:36,160
that is currently in great turmoil or

258
00:11:39,990 --> 00:11:37,920
strife

259
00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:40,000
it's hard to reconcile the inherent

260
00:11:43,590 --> 00:11:42,560
patience and beauty of the world with

261
00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:43,600
the

262
00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:55,120
perspective more clearly and that's part

263
00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:57,200
of the reason that we work so hard to

264
00:12:01,350 --> 00:11:59,040
communicate what we're doing up here as

265
00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:01,360
an international team is to try and just

266
00:12:06,629 --> 00:12:04,480
give people a little glimpse of

267
00:12:08,389 --> 00:12:06,639
that global perspective that

268
00:12:10,389 --> 00:12:08,399
understanding of the fact that we're all

269
00:12:12,550 --> 00:12:10,399
in this together and that this is a

270
00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:12,560
spaceship but so is the world

271
00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:14,880
and yes there are important territorial

272
00:12:19,269 --> 00:12:17,120
issues they're important personal issues

273
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:19,279
but at the same time

274
00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:20,959
with increased communication with

275
00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:23,040
increased understanding

276
00:12:29,110 --> 00:12:25,440
comes a more global

277
00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:29,120
uh perspective and it's one that uh

278
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:30,880
we feel incredibly honored to see

279
00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:32,720
directly and one that we do our best to

280
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:35,519
try and pass on to everybody and 160 000

281
00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:37,600
people are looking through my eyes every

282
00:12:46,790 --> 00:12:39,360
day and hopefully some of them

283
00:12:49,509 --> 00:12:48,389
hello

284
00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:49,519
good morning

285
00:12:52,949 --> 00:12:50,720
pascal

286
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:52,959
with the television radio canada you

287
00:12:58,629 --> 00:12:56,320
have manipulated canada this morning and

288
00:13:00,629 --> 00:12:58,639
we wanted to see with

289
00:13:02,470 --> 00:13:00,639
the research you've done

290
00:13:06,949 --> 00:13:02,480
what have you done in the international

291
00:13:07,990 --> 00:13:06,959
space station as far as research goes we

292
00:13:11,269 --> 00:13:08,000
yes the

293
00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:11,279
international space station is a lab not

294
00:13:15,829 --> 00:13:13,920
only one lab this one lab here

295
00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:15,839
is the american lab there's another

296
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:18,800
european another japanese lab a russian

297
00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:20,560
lab as well

298
00:13:26,069 --> 00:13:22,160
and canada

299
00:13:28,870 --> 00:13:26,079
ii is our famous manipulator that has

300
00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:28,880
helped to build this so

301
00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:32,480
it's international a very international

302
00:13:35,670 --> 00:13:33,360
place

303
00:13:38,949 --> 00:13:35,680
definitely there's a lot of different

304
00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:38,959
experiments that are being conducted one

305
00:13:41,110 --> 00:13:40,000
with the

306
00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:41,120
physics

307
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:44,800
physical fluids uh japanese we're doing

308
00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:47,120
that and this is a very difficult

309
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:48,399
impossible

310
00:13:51,269 --> 00:13:50,240
experiment to be

311
00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:51,279
done

312
00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:53,920
in on earth and there has to be no

313
00:13:58,069 --> 00:13:57,360
gravity at all and we can only do this

314
00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:58,079
is

315
00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:01,680
to con they were trying to build like a

316
00:14:04,790 --> 00:14:03,120
water

317
00:14:08,949 --> 00:14:04,800
bridge to see

318
00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:08,959
to understand better the key fundamental

319
00:14:15,829 --> 00:14:11,760
aspects of it and also for

320
00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:15,839
colloid we also did for hydraulics

321
00:14:20,389 --> 00:14:18,320
it's an experiment that it's impossible

322
00:14:21,910 --> 00:14:20,399
to do on earth and after the press

323
00:14:23,350 --> 00:14:21,920
conference i'm going to do something

324
00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:23,360
here actually

325
00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:25,760
with a very high temperature to see

326
00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:27,839
how metal

327
00:14:34,230 --> 00:14:28,800
mix

328
00:14:36,629 --> 00:14:34,240
gravity also we do medical experiments

329
00:14:39,189 --> 00:14:36,639
the canadian experiments have to do with

330
00:14:41,030 --> 00:14:39,199
respect to regulating

331
00:14:43,110 --> 00:14:41,040
the pressure

332
00:14:45,269 --> 00:14:43,120
in the body how our

333
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:45,279
balance works

334
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:47,120
all of these

335
00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:49,440
many many hundreds of experiments are

336
00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:51,920
constantly underway and

337
00:14:56,389 --> 00:14:53,920
it's uh

338
00:15:00,470 --> 00:14:56,399
very very busy there's a lot of things

339
00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:03,350
and one last question maybe

340
00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:06,800
and i know that you are an amateur music

341
00:15:11,509 --> 00:15:09,040
lover so when you look at earth what is

342
00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:11,519
the song that comes up for you

343
00:15:15,670 --> 00:15:12,720
we just

344
00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:15,680
yes i am an astronaut but also i am a

345
00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:19,279
musician for i've been a musician for

346
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:21,760
several years and we do have some

347
00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:23,199
guitars here

348
00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:24,240
in the

349
00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:27,600
international space station and after

350
00:15:32,949 --> 00:15:30,560
work in the evening i do that i do grab

351
00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:32,959
my guitar and it was perfect during

352
00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:34,160
christmas

353
00:15:39,829 --> 00:15:36,959
to get together and sing and with my

354
00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:39,839
brother we wrote a

355
00:15:45,030 --> 00:15:42,720
for christmas and uh i think

356
00:15:46,949 --> 00:15:45,040
a lot of people have already maybe heard

357
00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:46,959
it and we were able

358
00:15:49,749 --> 00:15:47,680
to

359
00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:49,759
record it and on youtube i believe

360
00:16:01,990 --> 00:15:59,749
the canadian folk songs are the ones

361
00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:02,000
that i love the most and

362
00:16:07,990 --> 00:16:04,160
i'm not only

363
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:08,000
a singer but i also i compose songs and

364
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:09,360
i'm trying

365
00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:12,399
to write some songs on life

366
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:14,160
on earth and also

367
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:15,360
life

368
00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:17,920
without gravity and in a few months

369
00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:20,160
maybe i will know

370
00:16:26,949 --> 00:16:23,680
or have enough to record

371
00:16:30,150 --> 00:16:26,959
a whole album but for me this is uh

372
00:16:34,790 --> 00:16:30,160
interesting as a human being it's uh

373
00:16:40,150 --> 00:16:37,030
it's i'm very lucky that we have a

374
00:16:45,350 --> 00:16:42,870
hi this is uh joanne brackes from cbc

375
00:16:47,189 --> 00:16:45,360
television here in montreal uh i've

376
00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:47,199
thought long and hard about what to ask

377
00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:49,519
you because there's so much to ask uh

378
00:16:53,350 --> 00:16:50,399
hello

379
00:16:55,030 --> 00:16:53,360
um what uh i guess what still surprises

380
00:16:56,389 --> 00:16:55,040
you after all this time i mean of course

381
00:16:58,230 --> 00:16:56,399
there's the robotics there's everything

382
00:17:00,230 --> 00:16:58,240
that's going on up there but i mean

383
00:17:01,829 --> 00:17:00,240
you're floating and you're playing

384
00:17:03,670 --> 00:17:01,839
around and you're i mean what is still

385
00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:03,680
surprising to you about being up there

386
00:17:13,110 --> 00:17:11,110
well you know um

387
00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:13,120
this is my third space flight but

388
00:17:17,909 --> 00:17:15,919
yesterday i equaled my entire

389
00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:17,919
time that i had previously in space

390
00:17:22,470 --> 00:17:20,160
after 20 years of being an astronaut i'd

391
00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:22,480
only been in space for 20 days

392
00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:24,720
but now with the soyuz flight back on

393
00:17:27,270 --> 00:17:26,160
the 19th

394
00:17:29,909 --> 00:17:27,280
and um

395
00:17:33,270 --> 00:17:29,919
with the time on station i'm now up

396
00:17:36,150 --> 00:17:33,280
over twice that so i've uh

397
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:36,160
i even though my experience is growing

398
00:17:40,150 --> 00:17:38,400
there are still lots of surprises

399
00:17:41,669 --> 00:17:40,160
something i noticed this morning

400
00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:41,679
on earth when i get up first thing in

401
00:17:45,909 --> 00:17:43,679
the morning i find sometimes i'm a

402
00:17:47,669 --> 00:17:45,919
little bit clumsy as my body's waking up

403
00:17:49,750 --> 00:17:47,679
i discovered you can be clumsy in

404
00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:49,760
weightlessness and when i come out of my

405
00:17:53,990 --> 00:17:51,760
sleeping birth and come floating right

406
00:17:56,470 --> 00:17:54,000
down here to go into what is basically

407
00:17:57,590 --> 00:17:56,480
our galley in our bathroom i bump into

408
00:17:59,430 --> 00:17:57,600
things

409
00:18:01,510 --> 00:17:59,440
even though i'm floating weightless you

410
00:18:03,430 --> 00:18:01,520
can still uh you can still have the

411
00:18:05,669 --> 00:18:03,440
morning clumsies up here and that

412
00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:05,679
surprised me

413
00:18:09,190 --> 00:18:07,520
the other thing that surprises me is the

414
00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:09,200
difference between

415
00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:11,440
uh visiting space which is what happened

416
00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:13,440
the last two times and living in space

417
00:18:18,070 --> 00:18:15,360
which is what's happening now

418
00:18:19,990 --> 00:18:18,080
the the incredible privilege

419
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:20,000
of truly

420
00:18:24,549 --> 00:18:21,760
living this experience of not having to

421
00:18:26,630 --> 00:18:24,559
rush everything of not making everything

422
00:18:28,870 --> 00:18:26,640
one time but actually being able to have

423
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:28,880
a measured thoughtful existence to

424
00:18:33,909 --> 00:18:31,120
really absorb what it's like

425
00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:33,919
uh that that's different this time and

426
00:18:38,630 --> 00:18:36,480
the richness of that the impact on me

427
00:18:39,430 --> 00:18:38,640
personally and hopefully and my ability

428
00:18:43,990 --> 00:18:39,440
to

429
00:18:46,549 --> 00:18:44,000
for the rest of my life is much much

430
00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:46,559
deeper and i i really count myself lucky

431
00:18:55,510 --> 00:18:53,430
i'm just and uh my bosses would kill me

432
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:55,520
if i didn't ask you this i'm gonna try

433
00:18:59,830 --> 00:18:57,280
to get you to say something about the

434
00:19:02,470 --> 00:18:59,840
habs and the leaves just

435
00:19:05,990 --> 00:19:02,480
playing if you get maybe little gohabs

436
00:19:10,630 --> 00:19:08,549
i had to try

437
00:19:12,710 --> 00:19:10,640
dad

438
00:19:14,150 --> 00:19:12,720
i'm i'm really pleased that the nhl is

439
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:14,160
starting to play again

440
00:19:18,549 --> 00:19:16,799
uh i love uh hockey i love watching

441
00:19:20,549 --> 00:19:18,559
hockey i think it's a great tradition

442
00:19:22,549 --> 00:19:20,559
and it's a great sport and i'm really

443
00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:22,559
looking forward to watching uh

444
00:19:25,590 --> 00:19:24,640
they piped the games up to me here

445
00:19:27,029 --> 00:19:25,600
um

446
00:19:28,870 --> 00:19:27,039
and i can watch them while i'm working

447
00:19:31,029 --> 00:19:28,880
out this is a piece of workout equipment

448
00:19:33,029 --> 00:19:31,039
right next to me and uh it's a great

449
00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:33,039
thing to be able to put on and watch and

450
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:33,760
uh

451
00:19:37,190 --> 00:19:35,520
the the first team i fell in love with

452
00:19:39,110 --> 00:19:37,200
and and therefore that i'm loyal to my

453
00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:39,120
whole life is is the leafs and and i'm

454
00:19:42,950 --> 00:19:40,480
looking forward to watching the season

455
00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:42,960
begin and watching them play but

456
00:19:48,150 --> 00:19:45,520
in reality what i really like

457
00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:48,160
is people that are taking themselves to

458
00:19:52,310 --> 00:19:50,320
the limits of their capability to do

459
00:19:54,310 --> 00:19:52,320
something that is just barely possible

460
00:19:56,630 --> 00:19:54,320
and that happens in sport that's what i

461
00:19:59,190 --> 00:19:56,640
really respect about the olympics and

462
00:20:01,510 --> 00:19:59,200
nhl quality quality hockey but it's what

463
00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:01,520
i respect about this place too it is a

464
00:20:06,070 --> 00:20:04,480
huge team on the ground working taking

465
00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:06,080
the things that we can do right to the

466
00:20:10,870 --> 00:20:08,320
very limit of human capability and

467
00:20:12,470 --> 00:20:10,880
seeing what you can find out there and

468
00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:12,480
and i really respect that it's what i've

469
00:20:17,990 --> 00:20:15,520
shaped my whole life around and uh

470
00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:18,000
and the leafs are still unbeaten so i

471
00:20:23,350 --> 00:20:19,760
hope their their season continues so

472
00:20:27,270 --> 00:20:25,590
