1
00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:03,030
station this is houston are you ready

2
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:28,710
and houston station we're ready for the

3
00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:38,790
north carolina museum of natural

4
00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:41,120
sciences this is mission control houston

5
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:47,670
station this is brian mallow at the

6
00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:49,440
north carolina museum of natural

7
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:51,920
sciences we have an auditorium full of

8
00:01:02,229 --> 00:00:53,600
kids that are very anxious to speak with

9
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:03,510
i hear you loud and clear how do you

10
00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:14,630

to be excited to talk to you i can't

13
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:26,230
well we have a bunch of students here

14
00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:27,600
with questions and i'm going to let the

15
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:32,950
my name is email harris

16
00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:34,320
i'm a sixth grader at more square in

17
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:36,880
magnet middle school and my question was

18
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:38,720
what would it have what would happen if

19
00:01:41,670 --> 00:01:40,479
you got hurt on the international space

20
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:41,680
station

21
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:48,560
and yeah that could happen it's happened

22
00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:49,520
before

23
00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:51,840
and so we always have two astronauts of

24
00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:53,200
all the astronauts on board here there's

25
00:01:56,789 --> 00:01:55,360
six of us we always have two that are

26
00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:56,799
medically trained to take care of

27
00:02:00,149 --> 00:01:58,479
usually first aid stuff but they can

28
00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:00,159
even take care of some more complicated

29
00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:02,240
things i happen to be a doctor but you

30
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:04,399
know i could get sick or hurt too so

31
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:06,240
there's someone to take care of me if i

32
00:02:11,029 --> 00:02:08,399
need it we have medical kits designed by

33
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:11,039
doctors and nurses on the ground and we

34
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:14,080
have a an ambulance it's our spaceship

35
00:02:17,589 --> 00:02:16,000
that brought us here if we had to we

36
00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:17,599
could hop into that and be home pretty

37
00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:19,680
quick we hope that doesn't happen and

38
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:21,440
everybody's been happy and healthy so

39
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:28,470
thank you

40
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:32,480
hi i'm natalie richards a ninth grader

41
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:33,920
from wake young women's leadership

42
00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:36,400
academy and my question is

43
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:38,560
what is an example of a daily challenge

44
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:45,190
you know

45
00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:47,040
everything in space is surprising i

46
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:48,959
think that's what's surprising every

47
00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:50,720
time every day you think you've got it

48
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:51,920
nailed you think you know what you're

49
00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:53,599
doing something comes up that's

50
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:55,280
different it's just very complicated we

51
00:03:00,550 --> 00:02:57,120
have complicated machines and living in

52
00:03:02,229 --> 00:03:00,560
zero gravity is is complicated and so

53
00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:02,239
everybody on the ground helps us get

54
00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:04,959
work done and we help each other out up

55
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:06,800
here because we're always surprised by

56
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:08,720
the problems we face and i think that's

57
00:03:16,949 --> 00:03:15,270
station this is houston acr um please

58
00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:16,959
turn off the microphone at the end of

59
00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:24,710
okay and you notice there's a slight

60
00:03:29,589 --> 00:03:27,280
delay so that's what we're waiting for

61
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:29,599
my name is kate healy and i go to

62
00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:32,640
cathedral school my question is how do

63
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:34,400
you keep track of the days when you are

64
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:40,869
you know that's a great question because

65
00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:45,200
we have 16 sunrises and sunsets a day

66
00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:47,040
so we have a hard time keeping track of

67
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:49,040
the days up here so what we do is we

68
00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:51,200
have a timeline a calendar on our

69
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:52,959
computers it's on almost every computer

70
00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:55,040
up here and we're able to look at that

71
00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:57,360
and uh every day just take a glance at

72
00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:58,720
it and tell what day of the week we're

73
00:04:02,149 --> 00:04:00,560
at things are so busy up here the time

74
00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:02,159
flies and otherwise we'd never be able

75
00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:04,799
to keep track of the days up here

76
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:15,110
my name is sofia kuderi i and i go to

77
00:04:18,469 --> 00:04:16,880
cathedral school

78
00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:18,479
in third grade

79
00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:20,239
my question is what do you like best

80
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:26,629
i think what i like best about the

81
00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:29,040
training is how much there is to do and

82
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:31,120
and it's a lot of variety a lot of

83
00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:33,280
things to do i learned russian get to

84
00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:35,759
fly jets you work under water so that

85
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:37,600
you can learn how to do space walks and

86
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:39,040
one of the best things is you get to

87
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:40,800
talk to and work with all the scientists

88
00:04:44,790 --> 00:04:42,800
that run these experiments and design

89
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:44,800
these experiments up here so we get to

90
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:46,880
talk with some very smart people who

91
00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:48,160
love what they do and if you're a

92
00:04:51,830 --> 00:04:49,840
curious person and you like lots of

93
00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:51,840
things then it's an enormous amount of

94
00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:52,800
fun

95
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:00,710
thank you

96
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:02,310
my name is james

97
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:04,240
and my question is what is your favorite

98
00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:05,120
part

99
00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:06,639
what is your favorite

100
00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:14,230
the best part about being an astronaut

101
00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:15,840
there are a lot of fun things about it

102
00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:18,000
the launches the landing the zero

103
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:19,039
gravity

104
00:05:24,469 --> 00:05:22,080
and looking out the window but i have to

105
00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:24,479
say when i'm done with this job and i'm

106
00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:26,960
looking back on having been an astronaut

107
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:28,800
the people that i got to work with are

108
00:05:31,430 --> 00:05:30,080
probably

109
00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:31,440
some of the best people in the world to

110
00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:33,759
work with they're smart and they love

111
00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:35,600
what they do and they're all very

112
00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:37,120
friendly we're all very excited about

113
00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:39,120
what we're doing here in space so that's

114
00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:40,800
going to be the most memorable thing is

115
00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:42,320
the people i get a chance to work with

116
00:05:48,629 --> 00:05:43,919
not only my crew mates but everybody on

117
00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:49,990
don't you love how when he lets go over

118
00:05:58,390 --> 00:05:56,390
hello my name is jackson haskell a sixth

119
00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:58,400
grader at moore square museum magnet

120
00:06:02,150 --> 00:06:00,400
middle school if the sun were to have a

121
00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:02,160
solar flare how would that affect the

122
00:06:11,110 --> 00:06:09,350
wow it's a good question we think about

123
00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:11,120
that quite a bit it wouldn't affect the

124
00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:13,520
space station so much as it might affect

125
00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:15,199
us because on the ground you've got the

126
00:06:18,309 --> 00:06:16,800
atmosphere and the earth's magnetic

127
00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:18,319
field to protect you

128
00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:20,479
so if it was really bad uh because

129
00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:21,759
they're watching this we call it the

130
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:23,199
space weather they're watching it all

131
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:25,199
the time if it was really strong we

132
00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:26,720
could go to a certain part of the space

133
00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:29,280
station and hide out inside of uh

134
00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:30,960
where there's most of the metal and the

135
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:33,360
aluminum around us to protect us

136
00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:34,800
so that's probably what we do it might

137
00:06:39,029 --> 00:06:36,560
affect the communications a little bit

138
00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:39,039
but not too bad but in this orbit we

139
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:40,479
don't worry too much about the solar

140
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:42,880
flares when we go to the moon or to mars

141
00:06:46,870 --> 00:06:44,880
or to an asteroid then that's going to

142
00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:46,880
be real serious once we get outside the

143
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:48,720
magnetic field the earth

144
00:06:51,589 --> 00:06:50,400
and so we'll have to think about that a

145
00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:51,599
lot that's one of the problems maybe

146
00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:52,960
you'll be solving when we start

147
00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:02,790
my name is ryan richards i'm from sixth

148
00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:04,960
i i'm in sixth grade and i'm from

149
00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:06,400
cathedral school

150
00:07:14,870 --> 00:07:08,960
and my question is what is your most

151
00:07:18,550 --> 00:07:16,710
there's so many it's it's hard to tell

152
00:07:20,309 --> 00:07:18,560
but one i'll never forget again it was

153
00:07:22,950 --> 00:07:20,319
with my crewmates

154
00:07:24,309 --> 00:07:22,960
and uh on my space shuttle flight and

155
00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:24,319
it's happened once on this flight as

156
00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:25,599
well when you get a chance to look out

157
00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:27,520
the window get a chance to take a break

158
00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:29,120
we're very busy up here and don't have a

159
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:30,639
lot of opportunities to look out the

160
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:32,880
window but had a chance to look out the

161
00:07:36,710 --> 00:07:34,960
window and as we did in orbit over the

162
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:36,720
earth and i was sharing it with my

163
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:38,160
crewmates as we looked out there and

164
00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:39,680
talked about the weather and the storms

165
00:07:43,589 --> 00:07:41,599
that we could see it lasts about 20

166
00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:43,599
minutes and in 20 minutes we went across

167
00:07:47,909 --> 00:07:45,360
the entire united states and got to see

168
00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:47,919
everything below us and just the chance

169
00:07:51,029 --> 00:07:49,680
to relax and

170
00:07:52,469 --> 00:07:51,039
talk to each other about what we were

171
00:07:59,589 --> 00:07:52,479
seeing that is one of the things i'll

172
00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:02,230
hi my name is haley smith i'm in ninth

173
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:04,000
grade and i'm from wake young women's

174
00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:06,160
leadership academy and my question is

175
00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:13,749
you know there wasn't one astronaut that

176
00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:16,080
inspired me but i would say all of the

177
00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:18,720
original astronauts you know the mercury

178
00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:20,400
gemini and apollo astronauts all

179
00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:22,080
inspired me i

180
00:08:25,749 --> 00:08:23,680
read about them all i read every

181
00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:25,759
biography i could i was very fascinated

182
00:08:29,029 --> 00:08:28,319
about what they did and i tried to pick

183
00:08:31,589 --> 00:08:29,039
out

184
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:31,599
everything that they did that i that

185
00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:33,440
appealed to me that i thought i could do

186
00:08:37,269 --> 00:08:35,519
and so i started doing those things and

187
00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:37,279
so i'd have to say that all of the

188
00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:39,440
original astronauts really

189
00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:40,880
appealed or

190
00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:43,440
inspired me quite a bit

191
00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:51,190
hi my name is sarah roberts and i'm a

192
00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:52,880
ninth grader at wake young women's

193
00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:54,480
leadership academy

194
00:08:58,870 --> 00:08:56,640
my question is what advice would you

195
00:09:00,470 --> 00:08:58,880
give to a student like myself that is

196
00:09:05,269 --> 00:09:00,480
interested in following in your

197
00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:08,310
well i think the best advice you give is

198
00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:11,040
to start right now and

199
00:09:15,110 --> 00:09:12,959
you're in school right now this is the

200
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:15,120
time that you're learning how to learn

201
00:09:18,310 --> 00:09:16,800
so trying to master everything that

202
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:18,320
you're learning do the best that you can

203
00:09:21,190 --> 00:09:19,760
that along the way if you haven't

204
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:21,200
already you will find one of those

205
00:09:25,269 --> 00:09:23,040
things that you fall in love with

206
00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:25,279
and that's what you chase after is the

207
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:27,040
thing you fall in love with who knows

208
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:28,640
what the next generation of astronauts

209
00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:29,760
is going to be

210
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:31,760
certainly if it's in science technology

211
00:09:35,350 --> 00:09:33,760
engineering or math right now

212
00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:35,360
that's we're certainly going to need

213
00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:36,880
those types of astronauts that are

214
00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:39,519
experts in those things in the future

215
00:09:43,509 --> 00:09:41,680
but so i would start right now trying to

216
00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:43,519
be the person you want to be

217
00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:46,320
and be very curious and try to master

218
00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:48,160
everything you're doing in school and

219
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:49,360
you'll be able to get there one of these

220
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:57,990
thank you

221
00:10:01,910 --> 00:10:00,070
hi i'm connor grummer from the wake

222
00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:01,920
young men's leadership academy my

223
00:10:05,829 --> 00:10:03,920
question is what is one goal you would

224
00:10:11,269 --> 00:10:05,839
like to achieve before you retire from

225
00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:12,870
well hopefully retirement's not a ways

226
00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:15,120
away but it's probably coming up sooner

227
00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:16,320
than i'd like because this is a great

228
00:10:19,509 --> 00:10:17,120
job

229
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:19,519
what i would like to do before i retire

230
00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:21,360
and after this flight is done

231
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:22,320
is

232
00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:23,760
to take everything i've learned from

233
00:10:26,949 --> 00:10:25,680
this flight it's a pretty rare chance to

234
00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:26,959
get to fly in space and a lot of

235
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:28,640
astronauts waiting so i want to give

236
00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:31,120
them the information they need and

237
00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:33,040
ground control the information they need

238
00:10:36,310 --> 00:10:34,640
so that the next space flights will be

239
00:10:37,829 --> 00:10:36,320
even more successful and more efficient

240
00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:37,839
and we can get more done

241
00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:39,680
so i'll stick around for a while and

242
00:10:47,590 --> 00:10:41,839
i'll be uh helping people learn how to

243
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,550
thank you

244
00:10:55,190 --> 00:10:52,949
hi my name is jake baze and i go to wake

245
00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:55,200
young men's leadership academy and i

246
00:11:02,069 --> 00:10:56,640
just want to know what is the most

247
00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:03,430
well i kind of like the other questions

248
00:11:08,470 --> 00:11:05,600
it's hard to pick out one thing

249
00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:08,480
space walks were absolutely exciting and

250
00:11:11,509 --> 00:11:10,079
very interesting

251
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:11,519
but some of the science we're doing up

252
00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:12,640
here

253
00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:15,120
on this uh voyage right now is some of

254
00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:16,480
the most interesting things i've ever

255
00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:20,160
seen before to see uh fluids and metals

256
00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:22,959
and particles in uh moving around in

257
00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:25,200
zero gravity to have gravity removed

258
00:11:29,350 --> 00:11:27,040
from that this is these are things that

259
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:29,360
people are never been able to see before

260
00:11:33,269 --> 00:11:31,600
we get videos and photographs so

261
00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:33,279
everybody on the ground can see them but

262
00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:35,600
we get astronauts get to see them live

263
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:38,079
as they're happening and that satisfies

264
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:40,160
enormous amount of curiosity and we

265
00:11:44,550 --> 00:11:42,640
discover new things every day i see

266
00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:44,560
things i've never seen before every day

267
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:46,079
and that's probably the most exciting

268
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,990
thank you

269
00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:54,310
hi my name is lyric burnett i'm a sixth

270
00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:56,000
grader at moore grand museum magnet

271
00:12:00,230 --> 00:11:58,480
middle school and my question is what do

272
00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:00,240
you do most of the time when you are on

273
00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:07,509
well we do research up here we have a

274
00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:09,120
bunch of laboratories from all around

275
00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:11,040
the world and we've been training to run

276
00:12:14,949 --> 00:12:13,600
the experiments of scientists very smart

277
00:12:18,550 --> 00:12:14,959
people who have been coming up with

278
00:12:20,629 --> 00:12:18,560
these ideas of things we can do in space

279
00:12:22,310 --> 00:12:20,639
to build

280
00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:22,320
develop new technology and build new

281
00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:23,839
materials and to figure out health

282
00:12:27,269 --> 00:12:25,760
problems that we never knew before it's

283
00:12:28,949 --> 00:12:27,279
amazing what you can do when you remove

284
00:12:30,949 --> 00:12:28,959
gravity so we

285
00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:30,959
spend a lot of time most of our time

286
00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:32,800
doing research the rest of time we're

287
00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:33,920
taking care of our bodies we're

288
00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:36,000
exercising where we have to eat we have

289
00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:38,079
to get ready to eat we have to clean up

290
00:12:42,310 --> 00:12:40,240
on the weekends is when we clean up the

291
00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:42,320
space station so we're always busy but

292
00:12:47,110 --> 00:12:43,760
we like the work and there is a little

293
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:52,069
thank you

294
00:12:56,389 --> 00:12:54,949
hey i'm cormac ferguson i go to

295
00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:56,399
cathedral school

296
00:13:05,350 --> 00:12:59,920
my question is why is everything round

297
00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:07,990
that is a great question because i'm not

298
00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:09,760
round and this microphone's not round

299
00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:10,560
but

300
00:13:13,190 --> 00:13:11,920
if they weren't solids if they were

301
00:13:15,030 --> 00:13:13,200
liquids if the molecules weren't

302
00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:15,040
sticking them together so hard they

303
00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:17,360
would be round and things would be round

304
00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:18,720
just like fluids are and i'll show you

305
00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:20,000
here in a little bit if you'd like to

306
00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:21,120
see it

307
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:22,800
and that's because the effects of

308
00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:24,480
gravity on earth

309
00:13:28,069 --> 00:13:26,320
kind of flatten everything out and kind

310
00:13:31,509 --> 00:13:28,079
of takes over all the other really

311
00:13:34,069 --> 00:13:31,519
delicate uh details of

312
00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:34,079
things like fluids and gases so up here

313
00:13:38,389 --> 00:13:36,160
in space all those little delicate

314
00:13:40,230 --> 00:13:38,399
forces say surface tension and liquids

315
00:13:42,470 --> 00:13:40,240
or even the little gravity forces

316
00:13:44,629 --> 00:13:42,480
between rocks in space

317
00:13:46,150 --> 00:13:44,639
those take over and so the rocks come

318
00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:46,160
together to form asteroids and then

319
00:13:49,750 --> 00:13:47,440
planets and they all come in the same

320
00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:49,760
direction for it so it'll be round or

321
00:13:53,509 --> 00:13:51,839
with fluids you get

322
00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:53,519
surface tension making things tight into

323
00:13:55,269 --> 00:13:54,560
a ball

324
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:55,279
and

325
00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:56,880
so that's why things are round up here

326
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,189
thank you

327
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:05,030
hi my name is griffin bloomquist i'm

328
00:14:09,269 --> 00:14:07,360
from cathedral school sixth grade

329
00:14:10,870 --> 00:14:09,279
is there an air recycling system on

330
00:14:15,590 --> 00:14:10,880
board or do you just have supplies

331
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:18,069
we have some nitrogen and some oxygen

332
00:14:21,269 --> 00:14:20,000
which makes the air already up here but

333
00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:21,279
we don't like to use it because we don't

334
00:14:25,189 --> 00:14:23,440
want to run out of it so yeah we recycle

335
00:14:27,509 --> 00:14:25,199
it our bodies use up a little bit of the

336
00:14:28,949 --> 00:14:27,519
oxygen but we have machines that take

337
00:14:30,790 --> 00:14:28,959
that oxygen

338
00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:30,800
out from what we put out from our bodies

339
00:14:34,629 --> 00:14:32,320
if you know what i'm talking about and

340
00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:34,639
takes out the oxygen again and dumps it

341
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:36,160
back in the atmosphere

342
00:14:39,189 --> 00:14:37,920
and so our bodies don't use the nitrogen

343
00:14:41,189 --> 00:14:39,199
too much so we are constantly

344
00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:41,199
re-breathing the same air

345
00:14:44,230 --> 00:14:42,560
that we breathed before and we have

346
00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:44,240
filters and air conditioners so it's

347
00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:46,000
nice fresh clean air when it comes back

348
00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:51,750
thank you

349
00:14:56,389 --> 00:14:54,000
hi my name is alex him and i'm from

350
00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:56,399
cathedral school i just want to know if

351
00:15:03,110 --> 00:14:58,320
your spacesuits are stiff when you're

352
00:15:07,509 --> 00:15:05,350
they are they look nice and fluffy but

353
00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:07,519
they're not because you pressurize them

354
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:09,440
so just like a football when it's flat

355
00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:10,480
is all

356
00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:12,480
all wobbly and you can bend it if you

357
00:15:16,710 --> 00:15:14,560
pump it up with air it's really tight

358
00:15:18,230 --> 00:15:16,720
you can't bend a football it's very hard

359
00:15:20,069 --> 00:15:18,240
to bend your arms and legs in a space

360
00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:20,079
suit so they build in joints so we can

361
00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:21,920
move them around but it is very tight

362
00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:29,030
hi my name is imandi henderson of white

363
00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:30,480
young women's leadership academy and i'm

364
00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:32,480
in ninth grade and i was wondering can

365
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:41,590
yeah we can we can't text but we have

366
00:15:46,230 --> 00:15:44,320
email and we have phone calls uh we can

367
00:15:48,150 --> 00:15:46,240
make phone calls but

368
00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:48,160
the satellites that we we bounce the

369
00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:50,000
signal off of satellites so that even

370
00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:51,199
though we're going around the world

371
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:53,279
really fast we can always be bouncing

372
00:15:57,110 --> 00:15:54,720
off a different satellite so we can make

373
00:15:59,350 --> 00:15:57,120
a phone call to one phone so i can dial

374
00:16:01,350 --> 00:15:59,360
up a phone and call it as long as the

375
00:16:03,269 --> 00:16:01,360
satellites are lined up and and usually

376
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:03,279
that's the case but not always and we do

377
00:16:08,069 --> 00:16:05,600
have email mission control takes care of

378
00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:08,079
that for us and several times a day they

379
00:16:11,590 --> 00:16:09,519
give us our email and take down the

380
00:16:13,269 --> 00:16:11,600
messages we've sent and it's it's really

381
00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:13,279
very nice it's a wonderful contact with

382
00:16:20,710 --> 00:16:18,710
thank you

383
00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:20,720
hi my name is johnny jones and i attend

384
00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:22,079
a wake young women's leadership academy

385
00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:23,680
and i'm in ninth grade and i want to

386
00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:25,839
know how many pounds of personal items

387
00:16:34,629 --> 00:16:32,790
we're allowed two and a half kilos now

388
00:16:36,550 --> 00:16:34,639
that's stuff we can bring into space and

389
00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:36,560
bring back we're allowed to bring more

390
00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:37,600
than that up here but we're going to

391
00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:38,720
have to throw that away because there's

392
00:16:42,790 --> 00:16:40,560
just not enough room in our rocket ship

393
00:16:44,710 --> 00:16:42,800
to get home so probably about 10 to 20

394
00:16:47,110 --> 00:16:44,720
pounds i've got some books and some

395
00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:47,120
pictures that sort of thing but only two

396
00:16:56,470 --> 00:16:49,519
and a half kilos that i can bring up and

397
00:17:00,629 --> 00:16:58,790
hello my name is wylie eubank and i go

398
00:17:03,269 --> 00:17:00,639
to cathedral school and i'm in third

399
00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:03,279
grade and i just wanted to know how do

400
00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:12,549
you go very carefully it takes some

401
00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:13,679
practice

402
00:17:18,949 --> 00:17:16,160
but instead of gravity we rely on air

403
00:17:21,189 --> 00:17:18,959
flow so we have a vent and some with air

404
00:17:22,949 --> 00:17:21,199
rushing in that does what gravity does

405
00:17:25,669 --> 00:17:22,959
for you on the ground but you still have

406
00:17:27,029 --> 00:17:25,679
to be very careful with it and number

407
00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:27,039
one and number two are different because

408
00:17:31,350 --> 00:17:29,280
one's a liquid and one's a solid

409
00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:31,360
actually the liquid part

410
00:17:35,990 --> 00:17:33,360
we put into a machine that converts it

411
00:17:38,310 --> 00:17:36,000
back into our drinking water so we're

412
00:17:39,669 --> 00:17:38,320
drinking some of the same drinks that we

413
00:17:41,990 --> 00:17:39,679
the water from the same drinks that we

414
00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:42,000
drank a few days ago but it's all fresh

415
00:17:47,909 --> 00:17:43,679
clean water it's a wonderful system it's

416
00:17:51,669 --> 00:17:49,510
thank you

417
00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:51,679
tom we only have two more questions and

418
00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:53,440
we hope you can sort of show us that

419
00:17:58,789 --> 00:17:56,080
you're in zero gravity also

420
00:18:00,950 --> 00:17:58,799
hi my name is melissa stevens i'm in

421
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:00,960
third grade at cathedral school my

422
00:18:25,909 --> 00:18:09,430
i think you said how do you eat in space

423
00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:27,909
so we drink out of these pouches here

424
00:18:31,750 --> 00:18:29,919
and that is some drinking water here

425
00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:31,760
it's nice clean water came out of that

426
00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:33,840
machine i was talking about so we use

427
00:18:44,470 --> 00:18:37,120
that water to rehydrate our food here is

428
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,549
so we can rehydrate

429
00:18:53,350 --> 00:18:51,190
this is a bunch of vegetables it's all

430
00:18:54,830 --> 00:18:53,360
dehydrated it doesn't look very good

431
00:18:58,549 --> 00:18:54,840
it's very

432
00:18:59,830 --> 00:18:58,559
crunchy once you put some water in it

433
00:19:01,590 --> 00:18:59,840
this i don't know if you can guess what

434
00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:01,600
this is this is nice

435
00:19:06,070 --> 00:19:03,600
macaroni and cheese

436
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:06,080
so it's very nice once we rehydrate our

437
00:19:10,230 --> 00:19:07,760
food and get it going again some stuff

438
00:19:12,549 --> 00:19:10,240
we don't have to rehydrate so we've got

439
00:19:13,990 --> 00:19:12,559
pouches of things like this which is

440
00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:14,000
trail mix

441
00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:16,160
we also have pouches of meat that we can

442
00:19:19,029 --> 00:19:17,280
heat up

443
00:19:21,190 --> 00:19:19,039
the food actually is wonderful up here

444
00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:21,200
we've come a long ways and we love meal

445
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,150
thank you

446
00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:30,710
hi my name is destiny mckinnon and i

447
00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:32,400
want i'm in sixth grade and i go to

448
00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:33,760
moore square

449
00:19:41,590 --> 00:19:35,840
magnet middle school i want to know how

450
00:19:45,029 --> 00:19:43,110
you know there's a lot of talk about all

451
00:19:47,110 --> 00:19:45,039
the objects in space and there are a lot

452
00:19:49,029 --> 00:19:47,120
in orbit around the earth but space is a

453
00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:49,039
big place there's a lot of space in

454
00:19:52,630 --> 00:19:50,799
space so we don't have to worry about it

455
00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:52,640
too much ground control is watching it

456
00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:54,400
for us there's a radar system that

457
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:55,600
watches

458
00:19:59,990 --> 00:19:57,039
keeps track of everything bigger than a

459
00:20:01,909 --> 00:20:00,000
golf ball that's in orbit so we very

460
00:20:02,710 --> 00:20:01,919
rarely ever see those things if anything

461
00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:02,720
even

462
00:20:07,350 --> 00:20:05,360
seems to be coming close they'll tell us

463
00:20:09,350 --> 00:20:07,360
and if we have to we'll move the space

464
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:09,360
station a little bit to avoid and if we

465
00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:10,720
don't have time to do that we'll even

466
00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:12,559
get into our little spaceship so we're

467
00:20:16,149 --> 00:20:14,240
nice and safe in case anything hits the

468
00:20:17,830 --> 00:20:16,159
space station but there's a lot of

469
00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:17,840
things in place a lot of people watching

470
00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:19,760
so that won't uh we don't think that'll

471
00:20:30,630 --> 00:20:27,669
and that was our final question

472
00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:30,640
so uh thank you very much from all of

473
00:20:46,149 --> 00:20:45,270
thank you very much it's always a

474
00:20:52,630 --> 00:20:46,159
delight
