snoring isn't keeping you awake too much

uh eddie lions make a lot of noise when

00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:04,879
eddie inside a container inside a

19
00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:07,119
cupboard so his uh his snores have been

20
00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:09,680
muffled but he rode up to space with me

21
00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:11,280
and he's been flying in space the whole

22
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:13,280
time with me your excellency thank you

23
00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:18,070
chris be careful he doesn't sneak out of

that cupboard he's uh quite an

25
00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:21,040
adventurer as you know

26
00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:22,320
we've got a whole bunch of great

27
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:23,840
students here for some questions let's

28
00:01:29,270 --> 00:01:25,520
get on with them yes

29
00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:29,280
we have a first question here for you

30
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:32,799
hello my name is emily zoo and i'm in

31
00:01:42,789 --> 00:01:35,520
grade six i heard that your sense of

32
00:01:47,109 --> 00:01:44,950
emily your sense of taste it's sort of

33
00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:47,119
like when you have a cold

34
00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:50,000
and when you have a cold all of this the

35
00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:51,759
stuff that normally drains out of your

36
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:54,320
nose gets plugged up there and part of

37
00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:56,320
your taste is from your tongue and your

38
00:01:59,429 --> 00:01:58,479
smell and your senses and when you can't

39
00:02:01,830 --> 00:01:59,439
smell

40
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:01,840
your food is hard to taste it's the same

41
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:03,759
for astronauts because when we get to

42
00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:06,640
space there's no gravity to pull all the

43
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:08,720
stuff out of our head and so we get sort

44
00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:11,680
of a swollen head and it fills up our

45
00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:13,360
nose and makes our tongue kind of

46
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:15,520
swollen and you can't taste your food

47
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:18,000
but after a week or so your body gets

48
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:20,800
used to it your nose opens up again and

49
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:22,720
you can taste your food okay but for the

50
00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:24,160
first week

51
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:26,160
it's like having a cold then nothing

52
00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:28,000
tastes very strong or nothing tastes

53
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:34,710
another question

54
00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:37,200
hi my name is connell sloan

55
00:02:41,589 --> 00:02:39,599
from corpus christi school in grade six

56
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:41,599
and i was wondering what would happen if

57
00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:43,760
you put a marshmallow outside the space

58
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:51,190
well you can see right through that

59
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:53,120
window there that's outside the space

60
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:55,200
station there's just a couple layers of

61
00:02:58,710 --> 00:02:56,800
glass between us

62
00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:58,720
and what is out there which is the

63
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:01,760
vacuum of space there's no air it's

64
00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:04,480
completely empty and in the sun

65
00:03:11,589 --> 00:03:07,840
in the shiny part it's 150 degrees

66
00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:11,599
and in the shade it's minus 120 degrees

67
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:14,480
so let's take your marshmallow and take

68
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:16,640
it outside well first there's no

69
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:18,800
pressure and in a marshmallow there's

70
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:21,280
all that sort of air pockets all trapped

71
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:22,959
in there that's what makes it all spongy

72
00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:25,840
so your marshmallow would swell right up

73
00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:27,519
and then if it went outside in the dark

74
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:29,040
if we were behind the earth your

75
00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:31,280
marshmallow would swell up and freeze

76
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:32,879
and so you'd have like a

77
00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:35,200
a marshmallow snowball

78
00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:36,959
and if your marshmallow was in the sun

79
00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:38,720
if you went on the sunny side it would

80
00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:41,120
swell up and get all gooey not not like

81
00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:42,959
roasting a marshmallow but you'd have a

82
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:46,080
big gooey mass of a marshmallow sort of

83
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:47,120
like a big

84
00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:50,480
big eyeball or something so uh so

85
00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:52,000
marshmallows

86
00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:53,760
wouldn't be very good on the outside of

87
00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:55,680
the spaceship but if we had a

88
00:03:57,990 --> 00:03:56,959
marshmallow on the inside of the

89
00:04:04,070 --> 00:03:58,000
spaceship

90
00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:06,789
hi i'm madeline kushner from corpus

91
00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:09,599
christi in grade six and my question is

92
00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:11,120
you have been experiencing

93
00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:13,360
weightlessness for much longer than you

94
00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:15,840
have in your previous trips into space

95
00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:23,350
uh madeleine the big difference this

96
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:25,680
time is is i'm used to it i can fly i

97
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:28,160

can i can do whatever i want it's it's

99
00:04:35,350 --> 00:04:32,639
wonderful being in weightlessness this

100
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:35,360
time i'm i'm fully adapted to it i don't

101
00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:36,479
just feel

102
00:04:40,550 --> 00:04:39,280
like a visitor here now i i

103
00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:40,560
i feel

104
00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:42,720
like a spaceling i mean it's wonderful

105
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:44,240
to get completely used to being

106
00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:46,880
weightless to have your body used to it

107
00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:49,040
i exercise two hours every day to keep

108
00:04:54,230 --> 00:04:51,919
myself strong but my body loves being in

109
00:04:56,710 --> 00:04:54,240
weightlessness it's just it's wonderful

110
00:05:02,230 --> 00:04:56,720
to be able to fly and float and

111
00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:04,310
to just be able to float things to each

112
00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:06,880
other through space it's it's uh it's

113
00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:09,520
like magic and and to be able to be here

114
00:05:21,189 --> 00:05:12,880
for that magic for five months is is a

115
00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:23,029
hi my name is nicholas yankovich from

116
00:05:27,670 --> 00:05:25,680
corpus christi school in grade six

117
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:27,680
my question is how do you wash your

118
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:35,189
how do we wash your hands nicholas i

119
00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:36,320
brought something to answer your

120
00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:38,479
question look closely at the camera you

121
00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:40,160
can see this

122
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:42,240
it is no rinse

123
00:05:46,790 --> 00:05:45,120
body bath no rinse body bath and it's a

124
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:46,800
bag with a straw so now let's

125
00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:49,440
demonstrate okay it's time to get clean

126
00:06:03,270 --> 00:05:59,270
so we have a big ball of water and you

127
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:05,430
and now i've got water floating around

128
00:06:12,309 --> 00:06:07,120
on my hand

129
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:21,029
and then grab a towel

130
00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:22,550
and dry them off

131
00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:24,880
so that's how we do it

132
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:27,520
we use no rinse it's a special type of

133
00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:29,199
slightly soapy water so you don't need

134
00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:30,960
to have a bunch of fresh water

135
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:33,360
afterwards you squirt it you float a

136
00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:35,360
ball of water in front of yourself

137
00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:36,800
and then you just dry your towel and

138
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:38,960
when you're done we just tuck our towel

139
00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:41,759
somewhere to let it air dry so that the

140
00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:43,680
evaporated water gets back into the

141
00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:45,280
space station and we can use that water

142
00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:47,360
again so it works pretty well sort of

143
00:06:50,469 --> 00:06:48,880
like um

144
00:06:51,990 --> 00:06:50,479
maybe sort of like if you were on a

145
00:07:03,749 --> 00:06:52,000
sailboat and you needed to take it clean

146
00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:07,350
hello my name is melissa and i'm in

147
00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:09,840
grade six and i would like to know is

148
00:07:17,350 --> 00:07:11,840
being in zero gravity like swimming

149
00:07:20,870 --> 00:07:19,029
yeah it's sort of like swimming next

150
00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:20,880
time you're in a swimming pool

151
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:22,800
um if you got a nice indoor pool there

152
00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:24,400
somewhere in ottawa that you go to or in

153
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:25,840
the summertime when you're in a lake or

154
00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:26,880
a river

155
00:07:31,830 --> 00:07:28,479
try getting out in the water and

156
00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:31,840
completely relaxing every muscle relax

157
00:07:36,469 --> 00:07:33,680
every muscle in your body like i am

158
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:36,479
right here and if you look at my arms my

159
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:38,160
arms aren't down by my sides like on

160
00:07:41,189 --> 00:07:39,680
earth my arms

161
00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:41,199
float up

162
00:07:44,869 --> 00:07:42,880
and they sort of the same as water

163
00:07:46,629 --> 00:07:44,879
because there's no gravity pulling them

164
00:07:48,710 --> 00:07:46,639
down your whole body's like that my

165
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:48,720
knees come up even my shirt floats up

166
00:07:53,909 --> 00:07:51,440
around me so it's more like

167
00:07:55,589 --> 00:07:53,919
floating in water all the time not not

168
00:07:58,150 --> 00:07:55,599
swimming in water because you can't pull

169
00:08:00,150 --> 00:07:58,160
against the air it doesn't i'll show you

170
00:08:02,629 --> 00:08:00,160
it won't take me anywhere

171
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:02,639
it doesn't i just stand here because the

172
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:06,160
air is not as thick as water so um

173
00:08:11,670 --> 00:08:08,080
so it's more like just floating in water

174
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:11,680
forever it's it's a beautiful

175
00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:13,440
freedom it's lovely to be able to just

176
00:08:22,150 --> 00:08:14,720
float around

177
00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:24,710
hi my name is owen and i'm in grade six

178
00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:26,560
and i was wondering what would happen if

179
00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:28,080
you tried to paint something in zero

180
00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:35,990
tried to paint something in zero gravity

181
00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:37,039
hmm

182
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:39,599
well we do a little bit of art up here

183
00:08:42,469 --> 00:08:41,440
but we don't have paints because most

184
00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:42,479
paints

185
00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:44,560
have a smell to them you know when you

186
00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:47,519
open a can of paint it's got that strong

187
00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:50,800
smell and on earth you know paint fumes

188
00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:52,160
you don't want to be locked in a small

189
00:08:57,590 --> 00:08:55,440
room spray painting because the fumes

190
00:08:59,110 --> 00:08:57,600
get really strong well the space station

191
00:09:02,310 --> 00:08:59,120
is closed

192
00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:02,320
every every smell that's in here

193
00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:04,240
there's no place for it to go there's no

194
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:06,240
way for it to get processed except by my

195
00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:08,640
lungs or maybe by the equipment

196
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:10,959
so most paints wouldn't be a good thing

197
00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:13,360
up here just because of the strong smell

198
00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:15,200
that they have and the chemicals that

199
00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:17,120
would come out of them but i think a

200
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:18,959
little bit of painting would be nice we

201
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:20,800
have artists who are astronauts who can

202
00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:24,480
draw and color use charcoal

203
00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:26,080
so i think a little bit of painting

204
00:09:36,310 --> 00:09:28,240
would be good but everything comes up

205
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:39,190
my name is tom lane and i'm in grade six

206
00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:41,200
i'm wondering how long did it take to

207
00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:49,509
tom the space station is big i wish i

208
00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:51,360
could show you at all it's huge it's the

209
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:54,480
size of five hockey rinks it's very big

210
00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:56,640
and each piece came up one at a time and

211
00:10:00,550 --> 00:09:58,640
we put them all together the cannon arm

212
00:10:03,190 --> 00:10:00,560
our big robot arm reached out and

213
00:10:05,110 --> 00:10:03,200
grabbed each piece and attached it as we

214
00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:05,120
built the station and made it bigger and

215
00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:07,600
bigger and the very first piece came up

216
00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:11,680
15 years ago in 1998. i was working down

217
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:13,760
in mission control that day

218
00:10:17,829 --> 00:10:16,000
and we've slowly built it i helped build

219
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:17,839
it back on my

220
00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:20,160
first flight up here back

221
00:10:23,829 --> 00:10:21,600
12 years ago

222
00:10:26,790 --> 00:10:23,839
people started living here

223
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:29,110
yeah 12 years ago and

224
00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:31,760
i'm on expedition 35 so we've had people

225
00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:33,760
living here for a long time and we're

226
00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:35,360
still adding to it there's still pieces

227
00:10:39,269 --> 00:10:37,040
coming up i think you read maybe this

228
00:10:40,949 --> 00:10:39,279
week that there's a module that's that's

229
00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:40,959
inflatable that we're going to bring up

230
00:10:44,949 --> 00:10:42,720
in a couple years and the russians still

231
00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:44,959
have a laboratory to come up so it's

232
00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:46,880
it's slowly getting built it's it's like

233
00:10:51,190 --> 00:10:48,720
a city that you can never really say

234
00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:51,200
it's finished it started a long time ago

235
00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:52,800
and we slowly add to it and make it

236
00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:54,959
bigger and more capable and right now it

237
00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:57,440
is the biggest most powerful most

238
00:11:09,350 --> 00:11:00,880
capable uh human building laboratory in

239
00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:11,829
hi i'm luke jeez and i'm in grade six

240
00:11:18,630 --> 00:11:13,360
and i was wondering what happens when

241
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:21,269
huh what happens when we sneeze in space

242
00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:22,720
well let's try

243
00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:24,640
okay i'll get myself set

244
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:25,920
i'm going to sneeze let's see what

245
00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:28,560
happens let me get stable okay i'm going

246
00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:30,320
to turn sideways to see what happens

247
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:38,630
nothing

248
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:42,550
oh maybe i'm rotating a tiny bit

249
00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:44,880
so when you sneeze of course your body

250
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:46,160
is trying to get something out of your

251
00:11:51,430 --> 00:11:49,360
nose and it pushes it out pretty fast

252
00:11:53,430 --> 00:11:51,440
so that that little bit of stuff pushing

253
00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:53,440
out of your nose would push you back

254
00:11:57,590 --> 00:11:56,000
very slightly but you have a lot of mass

255
00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:57,600
and the stuff coming out of your nose

256
00:12:01,509 --> 00:11:59,279
just as a tiny bit of mass so it doesn't

257
00:12:02,389 --> 00:12:01,519
move you very much

258
00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:02,399
so

259
00:12:22,480 --> 00:13:13,670
us

260
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:21,750
gravity

261
00:13:28,230 --> 00:13:26,470
hi my name is father moreno and i'm in

262
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:28,240
grade five

263
00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:31,040
why does the international space station

264
00:13:40,870 --> 00:13:39,350
why do we travel so fast

265
00:13:43,269 --> 00:13:40,880
um

266
00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:43,279
we stay in space because we're going

267
00:13:46,790 --> 00:13:44,800
fast

268
00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:46,800
we're going around the moon i'm sorry

269
00:13:50,710 --> 00:13:48,480
we're going around the world like the

270
00:13:51,990 --> 00:13:50,720
moon goes around the world

271
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:52,000
and

272
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:55,760
let me explain it like this if you

273
00:14:00,069 --> 00:13:57,680
went outside of the museum that you're

274
00:14:01,829 --> 00:14:00,079
in on the roof and jumped off the roof

275
00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:01,839
gravity would pull you right down and

276
00:14:06,069 --> 00:14:04,399
you'd get hurt if you ran right across

277
00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:06,079
the roof really fast run run run run run

278
00:14:09,750 --> 00:14:07,600
all the way across the roof and jumped

279
00:14:12,069 --> 00:14:09,760
off you'd go quite a ways but you'd

280
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:12,079
still fall and hit the ground

281
00:14:18,069 --> 00:14:14,480
well imagine if you could go across that

282
00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:18,079
roof so fast so fast that you

283
00:14:23,110 --> 00:14:20,720
as you fell as you came off the roof the

284
00:14:25,189 --> 00:14:23,120
earth curved underneath you

285
00:14:28,069 --> 00:14:25,199
so that you were falling but you were

286
00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:28,079
going so fast that the earth was curving

287
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:30,079
away from you so you never actually hit

288
00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:32,720
the ground you just kept falling and the

289
00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:35,440
earth kept curving you have to go really

290
00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:38,240
fast eight kilometers a second

291
00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:40,320
twenty eight thousand kilometers an hour

292
00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:43,440
but if you can get yourself going 500

293
00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:44,880
a minute

294
00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:45,760
then

295
00:14:50,069 --> 00:14:47,680
you will be weightless because you'll

296
00:14:52,069 --> 00:14:50,079
fall at exactly the same speed that the

297
00:14:54,550 --> 00:14:52,079
earth curves and that's why the space

298
00:15:10,310 --> 00:14:54,560
station has to go so fast to stay in

299
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:38,710
me

300
00:15:38,720 --> 00:16:00,870
uh

301
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:47,030
is

302
00:16:51,829 --> 00:16:49,430
hi my name

303
00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:51,839
and i'm is grade six and my question is

304
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:04,150
what does it smell like

305
00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:05,829
it doesn't really have a strong

306
00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:07,280
distinctive

307
00:17:11,909 --> 00:17:09,600
smell it's not a bad smell at all

308
00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:11,919
it's maybe smells like

309
00:17:16,309 --> 00:17:13,839
being in an airplane

310
00:17:18,309 --> 00:17:16,319
if you go on to air canada or something

311
00:17:20,789 --> 00:17:18,319
and you walk onto the airplane it's

312
00:17:23,110 --> 00:17:20,799
maybe got a slightly distinctive smell

313
00:17:25,189 --> 00:17:23,120
but it's pretty clean and we we clean

314
00:17:26,630 --> 00:17:25,199
our every saturday i clean this whole

315
00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:26,640
laboratory we're inside the japanese

316
00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:29,039
laboratory i go through

317
00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:31,280
and i wipe down every handrail with

318
00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:34,000
disinfectant wipes with wet wipes and i

319
00:17:38,150 --> 00:17:35,840
vacuum all of the filters

320
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:38,160
so we really work hard to keep it clean

321
00:17:41,190 --> 00:17:39,760
and so it really doesn't have any beds

322
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:41,200
it's like being in a big building or

323
00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:43,120
maybe a nice clean hospital building or

324
00:17:46,070 --> 00:17:44,559
something

325
00:17:48,470 --> 00:17:46,080
we work hard to keep it smelling good

326
00:17:50,630 --> 00:17:48,480
and healthy it's good for our health and

327
00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:50,640
doesn't let any bacteria grow then it's

328
00:17:59,029 --> 00:17:52,080
better if it doesn't have a smell that

329
00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:01,430
hi my name is david greenwood and i was

330
00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:03,200
one and i'm in grade six and i was

331
00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:05,280
wondering about how much space junk is

332
00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:06,720
there in the earth's atmosphere that you

333
00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:16,870
all space is full of of you know junk or

334
00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:18,000
debris

335
00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:19,120
the earth

336
00:18:25,590 --> 00:18:22,480
gets hit by a hundred tons a day

337
00:18:27,590 --> 00:18:25,600
of space debris a hundred tons a day

338
00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:27,600
hits our earth every time you see a

339
00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:28,960
shooting star

340
00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:30,880
or um

341
00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:33,280
or you know a meteorite or something

342
00:18:37,350 --> 00:18:35,039
those are bits of debris coming from the

343
00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:37,360
universe a hundred tons a day

344
00:18:41,270 --> 00:18:39,280
some of it is is human made only a

345
00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:41,280
little bit but there is some and from

346
00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:43,360
the space station though everything's

347
00:18:48,870 --> 00:18:46,480
going really really fast we are going

348
00:18:50,230 --> 00:18:48,880
uh five miles a second eight kilometers

349
00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:50,240
a second

350
00:18:54,630 --> 00:18:52,320
so all the debris is going faster than a

351
00:18:57,190 --> 00:18:54,640
bullet so you can't see it normally the

352
00:18:58,390 --> 00:18:57,200
only time i've ever seen space debris is

353
00:18:59,669 --> 00:18:58,400
when

354
00:19:01,750 --> 00:18:59,679
it burned up in the atmosphere

355
00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:01,760
underneath me and i watched a meteorite

356
00:19:06,549 --> 00:19:03,760
burn up in the atmosphere and that was

357
00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:06,559
kind of a spooky feeling because that

358
00:19:11,029 --> 00:19:09,120
meteorite could have hit us and not just

359
00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:11,039
been caught by the earth's gravity into

360
00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:13,120
the atmosphere but even though we know

361
00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:15,440
there's some around space is big

362
00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:18,240
and uh we get peppered by tiny bits all

363
00:19:23,350 --> 00:19:19,919
the time but the space station's a good

364
00:19:29,510 --> 00:19:23,360
ship big strong ship and uh so far so

365
00:19:34,549 --> 00:19:32,230
hello i'm sam lyon grade six and i was

366
00:19:36,870 --> 00:19:34,559
wondering if you play any games in space

367
00:19:39,029 --> 00:19:36,880
that you can't play with gravity or

368
00:19:46,070 --> 00:19:39,039
games that become more difficult or fun

369
00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:47,909
now this is a great place for games you

370
00:19:55,510 --> 00:19:50,320
would love it here imagine playing

371
00:19:59,190 --> 00:19:57,190
we where you could float into any

372
00:20:01,669 --> 00:19:59,200
cupboard you could you could hide up in

373
00:20:04,310 --> 00:20:01,679
the ceiling or in any sort of corner so

374
00:20:05,669 --> 00:20:04,320
it's a great place for that um but but

375
00:20:06,549 --> 00:20:05,679
we don't play hide and go seek very

376
00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:06,559
often

377
00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:08,799
um we're playing a game of scrabble

378
00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:10,640
right now but scrabble's pretty hard

379
00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:12,240
without gravity

380
00:20:16,390 --> 00:20:14,720
because uh your pieces float all over so

381
00:20:19,029 --> 00:20:16,400
we have a scrabble game where the the

382
00:20:21,190 --> 00:20:19,039
pieces sort of click into place

383
00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:21,200
our our board is up on the ceiling you

384
00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:22,960
could play darts here

385
00:20:27,029 --> 00:20:24,400
but you wouldn't want pointy darts

386
00:20:29,029 --> 00:20:27,039
because we're inside a a spaceship but

387
00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:29,039
um you know if your dart just had a big

388
00:20:35,029 --> 00:20:30,880
lump on the end with velcro and you

389
00:20:36,549 --> 00:20:35,039
threw it nice and slowly maybe with big

390
00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:36,559
feathers on the end then you could play

391
00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:38,480
darts but when you throw darts on earth

392
00:20:42,630 --> 00:20:40,320
gravity pulls them so they curve as you

393
00:20:43,990 --> 00:20:42,640
throw them here they would go straight

394
00:20:46,230 --> 00:20:44,000
you could throw your dart and it would

395
00:20:48,230 --> 00:20:46,240
go absolutely straight all the way to

396
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:48,240
the target because there wouldn't be a

397
00:20:51,669 --> 00:20:49,760
curve of gravity

398
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:51,679
so i think you know this would be a fun

399
00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:53,280
place to figure out how to play a bunch

400
00:20:57,669 --> 00:20:55,600
of games and we play a little in our

401
00:21:00,549 --> 00:20:57,679
spare time but mostly we're here to work

402
00:21:01,830 --> 00:21:00,559
and and so we don't we don't experiment

403
00:21:08,390 --> 00:21:01,840
like you would if you just actually

404
00:21:12,549 --> 00:21:10,310
hi my name is niket

405
00:21:14,950 --> 00:21:12,559
i'm from i'm in grade 6. i just want to

406
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:14,960
know what inspired you to be an

407
00:21:23,669 --> 00:21:21,590
well you're in grade six so you're

408
00:21:25,909 --> 00:21:23,679
probably about 10 or 11 maybe 12 years

409
00:21:28,230 --> 00:21:25,919
old probably 10 or 11.

410
00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:29,830
you know you've probably heard of some

411
00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:30,960
people

412
00:21:34,870 --> 00:21:33,200
that have done really interesting things

413
00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:34,880
in their life someone who's done

414
00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:37,120
something that you think wow that's cool

415
00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:38,960
or or you've seen someone do something

416
00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:41,120
you think oh that's that's not good

417
00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:43,520
well you're going to grow up to be one

418
00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:44,880
of those people

419
00:21:48,230 --> 00:21:46,400
you're going to grow up to be somebody

420
00:21:50,149 --> 00:21:48,240
and you're going to do something when

421
00:21:52,630 --> 00:21:50,159
you when you get to be an adult

422
00:21:54,070 --> 00:21:52,640
and when i was your age i looked at what

423
00:21:56,310 --> 00:21:54,080
some of the people were doing and i

424
00:21:57,750 --> 00:21:56,320
watched the very first people walk on

425
00:21:59,669 --> 00:21:57,760
the moon

426
00:22:01,430 --> 00:21:59,679
the very first two human beings walked

427
00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:01,440
in the moon when i was 10 years old

428
00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:03,760
almost 10 this summer i turned 10. and

429
00:22:07,990 --> 00:22:06,400
that's what inspired me i just thought

430
00:22:10,149 --> 00:22:08,000
i'm going to grow up to be something why

431
00:22:11,669 --> 00:22:10,159
don't i grow up to be that

432
00:22:14,630 --> 00:22:11,679
that looks like an interesting thing to

433
00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:14,640
do and i knew it probably was impossible

434
00:22:18,390 --> 00:22:16,480
but i thought if i don't try it's

435
00:22:20,789 --> 00:22:18,400
definitely going to be impossible and

436
00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:20,799
even if i don't get to fly in space all

437
00:22:25,430 --> 00:22:23,360
those things of learning to fly and

438
00:22:28,070 --> 00:22:25,440
build spaceships and how to make

439
00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:28,080
machinery and how to test things and all

440
00:22:33,270 --> 00:22:30,559
about navigation about geology and

441
00:22:34,230 --> 00:22:33,280
geography it's all interesting

442
00:22:36,549 --> 00:22:34,240
and so

443
00:22:38,630 --> 00:22:36,559
i was inspired to become an astronaut by

444
00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:38,640
two of the very first explorers the

445
00:22:47,990 --> 00:22:46,070
chris this was our last question but

446
00:22:50,310 --> 00:22:48,000
