00:00:23,189 --> 00:00:19,039
call the international space station for

8
00:00:27,349 --> 00:00:25,349
station this is sean marx principal of

9
00:00:32,709 --> 00:00:27,359

00:00:37,430 --> 00:00:35,030
chris hadfield public school and

11
00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:37,440
principal marks hadfield hawks hello i

12
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:49,350
good morning chris it's jeremy here

13
00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:51,840
great to see you in space as always i i

14
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:53,520
got to tell you it's really awesome your

15
00:00:56,549 --> 00:00:54,960
school is cool

16
00:00:58,709 --> 00:00:56,559
and i saw a picture of you at the front

17
00:01:00,549 --> 00:00:58,719
door made out of the photos of students

18
00:01:02,150 --> 00:01:00,559
from the school so i thought that was

19
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:02,160
pretty neat so an awesome school you

20
00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:04,960
have here i've got some really excited

21
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:06,640
kids who want to learn a little bit

22
00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:08,400
about space so i'm going to get going

23
00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:09,920
with the questions here i'll be standing

24
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:11,840
right here chris now everybody chris

just ask and i'll help you out so here's

30
00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:26,710
hi commander hatfield my name is sunda

31
00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:29,119
sadiki and i'm in grade five i would

32
00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:31,040
like to know what might be the coolest

33
00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:39,590
good morning sundance the coolest thing

34
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:42,640
i've ever seen in space let's see um

35
00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:44,720
i think maybe the coolest thing i've

36
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:46,880
ever seen in space

37
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:50,479
is sunrise when the sun comes up sundas

38
00:01:55,109 --> 00:01:52,240
it is beautiful the

39
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:55,119
we come around the world and we sort of

40
00:02:01,510 --> 00:01:57,600
drive into the sunshine and the whole

41
00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:01,520
horizon suddenly glows beautiful orange

42
00:02:06,149 --> 00:02:03,520
and every color in the rainbow and then

43
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:06,159
the sun bursts up and the space station

44
00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:08,640
out these windows the big solar arrays

45
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:11,520
suddenly they they glow blood red and

46
00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:14,640
then yellow and orange and then blue as

47
00:02:18,309 --> 00:02:16,640
the as the light shines on them and then

48
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:18,319
suddenly we're in the daylight and that

49
00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:21,360
happens so fast and it happens 16 times

50
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:24,239
a day so i think the coolest thing is

51
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:30,869
great question and because chris

52
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:32,720
hadfield is in space it takes a few

53
00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:34,480
seconds for the answers for our

54
00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:36,239
questions to get to chris and then for

55
00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:39,200
the message to get back to us

56
00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:41,120
hi commander hatchfield my name is

57
00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:44,000
yofisha siddiqi and i'm in grade three i

58
00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:45,920
would like to know do you think you are

59
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:48,000
going to find something interesting up

60
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:50,400
in space that you can use for science if

61
00:03:02,309 --> 00:03:00,550
oh we're finding out all sorts of things

62
00:03:05,589 --> 00:03:02,319
behind me right here is a canadian

63
00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:05,599
experiment that's looking at how to make

64
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:07,680
materials better like paint where

65
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:09,360
there's little tiny bits of stuff

66
00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:11,680
dissolved in a liquid that

67
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:14,000
on earth they behave differently because

68
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:16,640
of gravity we're also collecting energy

69
00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:18,720
from the universe trying to find out

70
00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:20,640
what the universe is made of we're

71
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:22,640
collecting dark matter and trying to

72
00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:25,280
understand antimatter and there's a big

73
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:27,040
magnet on the top of the space station

74
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:28,480
collect that and we're also

75
00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,280
understanding the human body of how to

76
00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:33,519
um how our system works better how we

77
00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:35,840
balance how we see because when you take

78
00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:38,400
away gravity a lot of things change so

79
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:40,319
it's a really good laboratory to study

80
00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:42,400
the body so i think there's all sorts of

81
00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:43,519
different things we're going to find

82
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:45,120
here that are going to

83
00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:47,120
help us understand the universe better

84
00:04:02,470 --> 00:03:59,670
hi commander hatfield my name is riley

85
00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:02,480
ford and i am in grade four

86
00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:04,480
i would like to know do you know if

87
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:13,830
riley that's a good question we've been

88
00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:16,880
looking we have sent probes to pretty

89
00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:19,600
much every planet in the solar system

90
00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:21,600
and a couple of the moons

91
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:23,919
we've been to a few asteroids we even

92
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:26,560
have a couple spaceships that have gone

93
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:29,120
out of our solar system basically beyond

94
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:30,720
where the sun has an influence it's

95
00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:32,960
right on the edge of that now and we

96
00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,160
have not found any living thing anywhere

97
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:38,479
else except earth and here on the

98
00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:40,160
international space station we're

99
00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:42,880
looking but we did just find out uh

100
00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:44,400
using the hubble telescope and other

101
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:46,639
telescopes that we think pretty much

102
00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:49,680
every star has planets and even in just

103
00:04:54,390 --> 00:04:52,639
our galaxy there are billions of stars

104
00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:54,400
so there are billions and billions of

105
00:04:59,590 --> 00:04:57,040
planets so it's probably not that there

106
00:05:05,430 --> 00:04:59,600
isn't other living things it's probably

107
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:15,909
thanks

108
00:05:25,749 --> 00:05:17,909
i would like to know what is the hardest

109
00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:27,430
what's the hardest part of being in

110
00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:29,039
charge of the iss

111
00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:31,919
i think the hardest part is being ready

112
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:35,039
all the time for things to go badly

113
00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:36,880
because when things are going well it's

114
00:05:39,909 --> 00:05:38,639
it's easy to be in charge when when

115
00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:39,919
everybody's having a good time and

116
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:41,280
nothing's broken

117
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:43,440
then it's not so hard being in charge

118
00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:44,160
but

119
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:46,720
you have to be ready all the time you

120
00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:48,880
can't just be surprised when things go

121
00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:51,520
badly and so i think the hardest part

122
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:53,759
about being in charge is always being

123
00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:56,240
ready so that you can do the right thing

124
00:06:00,790 --> 00:05:58,800
when things go badly and that might mean

125
00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:00,800
if a meteorite came through this wall

126
00:06:04,390 --> 00:06:02,400
right here now we started losing

127
00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:04,400
pressure or if we had a fire or if

128
00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:06,560
somebody's family got sick or something

129
00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:08,800
like that so that's the hardest part is

130
00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:10,560
always being ready for things to go

131
00:06:19,909 --> 00:06:18,309
okay chris i think we're ready for a

132
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:19,919
space trick we got more questions but

133
00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:21,680
maybe you could give us a quick space

134
00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:38,230
hi commander hatfield my name is ibrahim

135
00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:40,479
vakil and i'm in grade six i would like

136
00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:42,479
to know how would your body be affected

137
00:06:53,510 --> 00:06:50,950
your body has a lot of changes when you

138
00:06:54,469 --> 00:06:53,520
take away gravity first is

139
00:06:56,230 --> 00:06:54,479
um

140
00:06:58,950 --> 00:06:56,240
you don't know how to balance there's

141
00:07:01,029 --> 00:06:58,960
there's no way to say which way is up

142
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:01,039
i can go any way i like and it all feels

143
00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:04,000
like i'm right side up it doesn't matter

144
00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:06,880
so it's really confusing at first to

145
00:07:11,589 --> 00:07:09,280
have no up or down your body gets very

146
00:07:13,749 --> 00:07:11,599
confused by that

147
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:13,759
the next is

148
00:07:18,550 --> 00:07:15,520
gravity doesn't push your blood down to

149
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:18,560
your feet anymore so

150
00:07:22,870 --> 00:07:20,720
your whole fluid shifts it's like like

151
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:22,880
standing on your head so you get a big

152
00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:24,800
headache and everything moves up to your

153
00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:27,360
head you get a big swollen head but also

154
00:07:31,589 --> 00:07:29,360
your body decides i don't need a strong

155
00:07:33,350 --> 00:07:31,599
skeleton anymore and so you start to

156
00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:33,360
lose your skeleton

157
00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:36,080
so we we exercise really hard two hours

158
00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:37,680
every day to keep our skeleton our

159
00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:39,440
muscles strong and the rest of it we

160
00:07:43,749 --> 00:07:41,280
just let sort of get used to being in

161
00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:43,759
space my legs got really skinny up here

162
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:46,800
in space because gravity's gravity's not

163
00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:48,960
pushing the blood down into my legs

164
00:07:52,629 --> 00:07:50,800
there's no extra fluid there

165
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:52,639
but when i get home it'll all change

166
00:08:07,110 --> 00:07:54,400
again and i'll re-adapt to being an

167
00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:09,510
hi commander hatfield

168
00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:12,479
my name is nikki rodriguez and i am in

169
00:08:18,070 --> 00:08:15,199
grade 2 i would like to know when you

170
00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:18,080
get close to a store what does it really

171
00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:21,280
look like i like to know so i could draw

172
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:29,350
uh stars come in all different sizes

173
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:31,360
ours is just a little one the sun is

174
00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:33,440
just kind of a little sort of yellow

175
00:08:37,670 --> 00:08:35,839
star there are red ones there are ones

176
00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:37,680
that look sort of brownish there are

177
00:08:42,149 --> 00:08:39,440
huge white ones there are some that look

178
00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:42,159
sort of blue it depends on on what

179
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:43,760
chemicals are in them and how strong

180
00:08:46,710 --> 00:08:44,800
they are

181
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,720
but from the space station you know what

182
00:08:51,190 --> 00:08:48,480
they look like they look like

183
00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:51,200
perfect points of light like an

184
00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:54,000
absolutely beautiful perfect diamond of

185
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:55,040
light

186
00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:57,839
they don't even twinkle just a piercing

187
00:09:01,509 --> 00:09:00,000
brilliant point of light that's what

188
00:09:03,829 --> 00:09:01,519
stars look like from here because

189
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:03,839
there's nothing in the way in between my

190
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:06,160
eyes and the star there's there's

191
00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:07,680
nothing to stop the light they're

192
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,990
thanks

193
00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:20,310
hi commander hadfield my name is james

194
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:22,160
campbell and i'm in grade eight

195
00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:23,760
it's said that when you go up in a

196
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:26,320
spaceship you move so fast that when you

197
00:09:31,670 --> 00:09:28,640
come back to earth you're a point zero

198
00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:31,680
zero zero zero one seconds younger i

199
00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:34,160
would like to know if that is true and

200
00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:42,710
one of the the smartest people that we

201
00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:44,800
ever produced as a species one of the

202
00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:47,040
smartest humans ever was a guy named

203
00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:48,320
albert

204
00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:52,800
figured that out there was no way to

205
00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:55,120
prove his mathematics but albert figured

206
00:10:01,829 --> 00:09:58,560
it out and he found that if you do the

207
00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:01,839
math the faster you go the slower time

208
00:10:05,269 --> 00:10:03,120
should go

209
00:10:08,069 --> 00:10:05,279
and if you get up to the speed of light

210
00:10:10,069 --> 00:10:08,079
the time slows way way down now light

211
00:10:11,590 --> 00:10:10,079
goes when you know the sun makes light

212
00:10:14,949 --> 00:10:11,600
and it takes a few minutes to get to the

213
00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:14,959
earth but light goes 300 000 kilometers

214
00:10:21,030 --> 00:10:19,120
a second 300 000 kilometers every second

215
00:10:23,430 --> 00:10:21,040
that's how fast light goes

216
00:10:24,470 --> 00:10:23,440
we're only going eight kilometers a

217
00:10:25,269 --> 00:10:24,480
second

218
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:25,279
so

219
00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:27,440
you guys are going a lot slower than i

220
00:10:32,389 --> 00:10:30,480
am so therefore my time moves very very

221
00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:32,399
slightly differently than yours

222
00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:35,279
but if i was going way faster then if a

223
00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:37,120
second went by for me it might seem like

224
00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:39,120
a minute to you so when i came back to

225
00:10:43,030 --> 00:10:41,279
earth you'd be a lot older than i would

226
00:10:44,949 --> 00:10:43,040
but we're not going anywhere near that

227
00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:44,959
fast and i don't even know if i'll be

228
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:46,880
able to tell the difference in my life

229
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:49,200
of .0001

230
00:10:51,910 --> 00:10:50,160
seconds

231
00:10:53,829 --> 00:10:51,920
when we get going faster maybe but for

232
00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:53,839
now we can't really even see the

233
00:11:00,310 --> 00:10:54,959
difference

234
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:06,230
thanks

235
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:08,310
hi commander hatfield my name is lisa

236
00:11:12,069 --> 00:11:10,480
who and i'm in grade seven temperature

237
00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:12,079
change and dampness affects the sound

238
00:11:15,670 --> 00:11:14,079
and shape of a guitar i would like to

239
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:15,680
know does your guitar sound different on

240
00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:18,000
the iss than it does on earth is there

241
00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:19,200
anything you have to change on your

242
00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:20,959
guitar or how you play it to make it

243
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:29,430
yes uh temperature humidity affect the

244
00:11:33,190 --> 00:11:32,240
guitar a guitar like this one

245
00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:33,200
um

246
00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:35,200
and this is a wooden guitar it's made in

247
00:11:38,550 --> 00:11:37,680
in vancouver it's a larry guitar

248
00:11:40,790 --> 00:11:38,560
but

249
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:40,800
uh i find up on the space station that i

250
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:42,640
have to tune it more often

251
00:11:47,350 --> 00:11:44,320
it seems to go out of tune a little more

252
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:47,360
often partially because of the dry air

253
00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:50,000
up here partially though because i can't

254
00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:52,160
ever set my guitar somewhere i normally

255
00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:54,160
have to hook it somewhere and i hook it

256
00:11:58,870 --> 00:11:56,959
by the tuners and so i constantly have

257
00:12:00,069 --> 00:11:58,880
to tune it but it ends up sounding

258
00:12:19,269 --> 00:12:00,079
pretty good here i'll play it just a

259
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:27,430
sounds pretty good actually

260
00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:29,030
i don't know if the mic is picking up

261
00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:30,880
the cheers and the applause chris but

262
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,310
thank you

263
00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:41,110
hi commander hatfield how might i become

264
00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:50,949
uh that's a good question how can you

265
00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:52,800
become an astronaut really how can you

266
00:12:56,069 --> 00:12:54,720
become anything

267
00:12:57,750 --> 00:12:56,079
you know how are you going to grow up to

268
00:13:00,790 --> 00:12:57,760
be the principal of chris hadfield

269
00:13:03,190 --> 00:13:00,800
public school or the mayor of milton or

270
00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:03,200
an airline pilot like my dad

271
00:13:06,710 --> 00:13:04,959
or uh whoever you know how are you going

272
00:13:08,069 --> 00:13:06,720
to grow up to be anything part of it

273
00:13:10,710 --> 00:13:08,079
number one is

274
00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:10,720
decide what you might want to be

275
00:13:14,389 --> 00:13:12,800
think about it what might i want to be

276
00:13:16,310 --> 00:13:14,399
because it should be something that's

277
00:13:19,030 --> 00:13:16,320
really exciting to you something that

278
00:13:21,430 --> 00:13:19,040
you really want to do and then

279
00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:21,440
start turning yourself into that person

280
00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:23,920
you can start to turn yourself into an

281
00:13:27,590 --> 00:13:25,680
astronaut today

282
00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:27,600
and it doesn't happen just like that you

283
00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:29,920
can ask jeremy hansen it takes a lot of

284
00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:32,880
years but every single decision you make

285
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:34,800
turns you a little bit into the person

286
00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:36,720
you're going to be tomorrow and the day

287
00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:38,880
after that and the day after that and so

288
00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:41,440
if you want to be an astronaut you need

289
00:13:45,110 --> 00:13:43,120
to keep your body in shape so you need

290
00:13:46,629 --> 00:13:45,120
to think about you know not letting

291
00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:46,639
yourself get fat think about what you

292
00:13:50,710 --> 00:13:48,959
eat and exercise you need to learn

293
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:50,720
things so you have to choose what

294
00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:52,160
courses to take and how you're going to

295
00:13:54,949 --> 00:13:53,920
study and what you're going to watch on

296
00:13:57,269 --> 00:13:54,959
tv

297
00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:57,279
and you need to learn how to work and so

298
00:14:02,310 --> 00:13:59,199
you might think about working around the

299
00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:02,320
house or maybe doing a summer job or

300
00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:04,000
getting delivering newspapers or

301
00:14:08,150 --> 00:14:06,480
something and then later on how you know

302
00:14:10,230 --> 00:14:08,160
are you going to go to school what job

303
00:14:12,470 --> 00:14:10,240
are you going to get and day by day it

304
00:14:14,310 --> 00:14:12,480
doesn't just choose to be an astronaut

305
00:14:16,389 --> 00:14:14,320
you have to turn yourself into who you

306
00:14:18,150 --> 00:14:16,399
want to be and so what i recommend is

307
00:14:20,310 --> 00:14:18,160
just start thinking about it and then

308
00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:20,320
realize that the decisions you make

309
00:14:23,829 --> 00:14:21,440
every day

310
00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:23,839
turn you into who you're going to be

311
00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:35,269
hi commander hatfield what gave you the

312
00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:37,360
inspiration of being the most successful

313
00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:46,949
wow uh the most successful canadian

314
00:14:50,949 --> 00:14:48,560
astronaut i don't know if i'm the most

315
00:14:53,269 --> 00:14:50,959
successful canadian astronaut i'm i'm

316
00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:53,279
the one who's in space right now

317
00:14:57,509 --> 00:14:55,680
uh but mark garneau flew three times in

318
00:14:58,389 --> 00:14:57,519
space and he was our first canadian in

319
00:15:00,790 --> 00:14:58,399
space

320
00:15:03,189 --> 00:15:00,800
and julie payet she was the chief

321
00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:03,199
engineer of the space shuttle so she had

322
00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:04,720
to be responsible for everything on the

323
00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:06,720
space shuttle so we've had a lot of very

324
00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:08,800
good successful astronauts

325
00:15:10,389 --> 00:15:09,680
uh

326
00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:10,399
but

327
00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:12,320
the the things that i'm doing now

328
00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:13,680
they're because

329
00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:15,760
i started working at it when i was your

330
00:15:20,710 --> 00:15:18,160
age when i was before i was even 10

331
00:15:22,949 --> 00:15:20,720
years old i decided to be an astronaut

332
00:15:25,430 --> 00:15:22,959
and i started working at it and studying

333
00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:25,440
and thinking about it and and making my

334
00:15:30,949 --> 00:15:27,600
body ready for it and i've been studying

335
00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:30,959
my whole life and training and really

336
00:15:34,949 --> 00:15:32,480
thinking about what i want to do with my

337
00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:34,959
life and then working towards it and now

338
00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:38,079
as a result now i'm old i'm 53 but now

339
00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:40,240
here i am having a chance to live and

340
00:15:42,949 --> 00:15:41,279
work

341
00:15:44,389 --> 00:15:42,959
and play guitar

342
00:15:46,710 --> 00:15:44,399
on board a spaceship and actually

343
00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:46,720
command a spaceship so

344
00:15:50,710 --> 00:15:48,880
i think if there's anything

345
00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:50,720
that would make me a successful

346
00:16:01,509 --> 00:15:53,440
astronaut it's because of pursuing my

347
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:07,110
thanks

348
00:16:12,069 --> 00:16:10,150
riley hi commander hatfield what is the

349
00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:12,079
first thing you would like to do when

350
00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:19,990
the first thing i'd like to do when i

351
00:16:23,430 --> 00:16:21,440
come back home

352
00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:23,440
is have a hot shower

353
00:16:27,269 --> 00:16:25,360
because on the space station we don't

354
00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:27,279
have any running water

355
00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:28,720
we just have a little tap to get

356
00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:31,040
drinking water out of so when we want to

357
00:16:35,430 --> 00:16:33,600
wash we just have to use washcloths or

358
00:16:37,749 --> 00:16:35,440
little little claws to clean ourselves

359
00:16:39,590 --> 00:16:37,759
off and i really like standing under a

360
00:16:42,069 --> 00:16:39,600
hot shower and having hot water on me

361
00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:42,079
and being able to get clean that way so

362
00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:44,160
that's something i can still talk to my

363
00:16:49,189 --> 00:16:46,959
family from here and i can do good work

364
00:16:50,949 --> 00:16:49,199
and the food is good but i can't have a

365
00:16:56,230 --> 00:16:50,959
hot shower or a bath and that's what

366
00:16:59,030 --> 00:16:57,509
thanks

367
00:17:00,550 --> 00:16:59,040
hey chris we can't help but notice the

368
00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:00,560
windows behind you what do you see when

369
00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:17,669

371
00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:22,400
i can see um where we are right now

372
00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:24,400
which is just off the coast of south

373
00:17:28,069 --> 00:17:25,760
america

374
00:17:29,510 --> 00:17:28,079
i can look up and see space but plus

375
00:17:31,830 --> 00:17:29,520
through the window i can see the space

376
00:17:34,630 --> 00:17:31,840
station i can see the big solar rays and

377
00:17:37,270 --> 00:17:34,640
the pieces of the space station but that

378
00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:37,280
way is universe and that way is the

379
00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:39,520
world and the world is this beautiful

380
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:42,480
big blue curve it's just it's gorgeous

381
00:17:47,270 --> 00:17:44,240
and it's really fun to float to the

382
00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:47,280
window and see south america right there

383
00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:48,720
out your window it's just

384
00:17:52,710 --> 00:17:50,240
it's um

385
00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:52,720
it's like a present like a gift every

386
00:18:02,310 --> 00:17:54,640
time that suddenly gets opened when you

387
00:18:09,590 --> 00:18:04,150
do you miss your family when you're in

388
00:18:14,070 --> 00:18:11,830
that's a good question yes i do

389
00:18:16,549 --> 00:18:14,080
i try and talk to my wife pretty much

390
00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:16,559
every day and i talk to my my kids

391
00:18:20,070 --> 00:18:18,960
pretty often i have three children and

392
00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:20,080
um

393
00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:22,880
i email with them and sometimes i can

394
00:18:27,029 --> 00:18:24,400
talk to them like i'm talking to you

395
00:18:29,270 --> 00:18:27,039
with video and sometimes i can almost

396
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:29,280
sort of like a skype phone call so i get

397
00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:31,120
to talk to them but i don't get to touch

398
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:33,120
them i don't get to hug them i don't get

399
00:18:44,070 --> 00:18:41,750
so chris it looks like we only have one

400
00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:44,080
minute left but uh i wondered if you had

401
00:18:47,190 --> 00:18:45,600
anything else you wanted to pass on to

402
00:18:49,270 --> 00:18:47,200
us and we'd love to see a couple more

403
00:18:53,990 --> 00:18:49,280
space tricks before uh before we lose

404
00:18:57,590 --> 00:18:55,510
well okay

405
00:18:59,110 --> 00:18:57,600
this this is just my wrist watch it's

406
00:19:01,029 --> 00:18:59,120
just pretty cool

407
00:19:02,789 --> 00:19:01,039
living in weightlessness it's like it's

408
00:19:06,070 --> 00:19:02,799
like magic it's like you have a

409
00:19:08,710 --> 00:19:06,080
superpower where you can just fly

410
00:19:10,870 --> 00:19:08,720
and jump and soar and zip all over the

411
00:19:11,909 --> 00:19:10,880
place it's it's so much fun being

412
00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:11,919
weightless

413
00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:13,200
um

414
00:19:18,070 --> 00:19:15,520
and i only got here

415
00:19:19,990 --> 00:19:18,080
because number one i decided to that's

416
00:19:22,150 --> 00:19:20,000
what i decided to do with my life and

417
00:19:24,549 --> 00:19:22,160
then number two i worked at it for my

418
00:19:26,470 --> 00:19:24,559
whole life and so i really want to

419
00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:26,480
remind all of the hadfield hawks to

420
00:19:29,430 --> 00:19:28,160
think about that what are you going to

421
00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:29,440
do with your life you're going to grow

422
00:19:34,310 --> 00:19:32,400
up to be something why don't you choose

423
00:19:36,230 --> 00:19:34,320
what you might want to grow up to be and

424
00:19:39,029 --> 00:19:36,240
then start making yourself into that

425
00:19:41,510 --> 00:19:39,039
person you can do it slowly day by day

426
00:19:44,710 --> 00:19:41,520
and with that it is amazing one day at a

427
00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:44,720
time one step at a time it's amazing

428
00:19:48,870 --> 00:19:46,640
where life can lead you and jeremy
