00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,200
uh

41
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:01,280
i get to to go from

42
00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:03,440
vancouver island and see the arctic and

43
00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:05,440
see the maritimes in 10 minutes coast to

44
00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:06,480
coast

45
00:03:10,869 --> 00:03:09,760
and it uh it just fills me with pride

46
00:03:12,949 --> 00:03:10,879
and also

47
00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:12,959
as a result of technology i get to link

48
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:15,440
with canadians coast to coast of all

49
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:16,480
ages

50
00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:17,440
and

51
00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:20,640
i ask every canadian from the machine

52
00:03:25,190 --> 00:03:23,040
shops that help build this place to the

53
00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:25,200
software labs to the uh

54
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:27,599
the inventors and the creative minds

55
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:29,440
that made all this possible

56
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:32,400
uh when they look up and see

57
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:33,680
the point of light that is the

58
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:36,159
international space station

59
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:38,959
all canadians should take pride in in

60
00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:45,190
well it must be a tremendous experience

61
00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:47,200
i know as i fly across the country i'm

62
00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:48,720
always amazed

63
00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:50,560
how big it is

64
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,400
how empty most of it is but for you to

65
00:03:56,789 --> 00:03:54,640
be able to see it in 10 minutes is just

66
00:03:59,429 --> 00:03:56,799
it's really an incredible experience we

67
00:04:02,070 --> 00:03:59,439
can only dream about now

68
00:04:03,670 --> 00:04:02,080
commander i have a few questions myself

69
00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:03,680
but we have a lot of kids here who want

70
00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:05,280
to ask questions

71
00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:07,280
so i'm going to go straight to them

72
00:04:10,309 --> 00:04:09,200
first because i know we don't have a lot

73
00:04:12,789 --> 00:04:10,319
of time

74
00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:12,799
today we have a very brief hook up so

75
00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:15,519
let me begin with emerson bartel

76
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:17,280
children's wish foundation is going to

77
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:25,030
is there anything that you fear in space

78
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:26,560
or something that makes you

79
00:04:37,749 --> 00:04:35,909
emerson i'm afraid when i i don't have a

80
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:37,759
plan when i can't get ready for

81
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:40,000
something you know there are always

82
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:41,360
things happening

83
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:43,360
and some of them are scary if you're not

84
00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:44,880
ready

85
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,800
so what i always try and do is no matter

86
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:48,479
what's happening whether it's something

87
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:51,040
simple or something dangerous i prepare

88
00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:54,000
for it i think about it i visualize

89
00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:56,080
what i can do and therefore what i'm

90
00:05:01,029 --> 00:04:58,240
going to do and there then no matter

91
00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:01,039
what it is whether i'm facing it it

92
00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:02,720
makes me feel better about it and it

93
00:05:06,469 --> 00:05:05,039
stops me being afraid of it and that's

94
00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,479
whether i'm

95
00:05:10,629 --> 00:05:08,720
piloting a spaceship or commanding the

96
00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:10,639
space station or speaking with the prime

97
00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:12,639
minister of canada or talking with you

98
00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:14,639
emerson i just try and get ready and

99
00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:22,150
uh it's lorraine harper here i would

100
00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:24,720
like to introduce robbie pasmorois of

101
00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:26,639
the children's wish foundation to ask

102
00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:28,320
the commander a question come on up

103
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:35,590
what what do you do when you get sick in

104
00:05:45,189 --> 00:05:42,469
thank you robbie we try not to get sick

105
00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:45,199
of course um you can't catch a cold up

106
00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:46,720
here because there's no one to catch a

107
00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:47,919
cold from

108
00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:50,320
uh but everybody on board is trained as

109
00:05:54,469 --> 00:05:52,479
an emergency medical technician so i can

110
00:05:56,950 --> 00:05:54,479
do all basic medicine i've worked in a

111
00:05:58,469 --> 00:05:56,960
hospital in the emergency room taking

112
00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:58,479
care of people as they come in with all

113
00:06:02,550 --> 00:06:00,560
different injuries so i i really

114
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:02,560
understand the basics that i need to

115
00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:05,360
know right here under my feet is our is

116
00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:07,919
our emergency medical kit and pharmacy

117
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:09,759
uh behind me is like a stretcher that if

118
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,280
someone got sick we could strap them to

119
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:13,600
that stretcher and then we also on board

120
00:06:18,309 --> 00:06:15,919
with our crew we have dr tom marshburn a

121
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:18,319
medical doctor and so

122
00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:20,400
dr tom could take care of each of us but

123
00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:22,319
if tom got sick then then i'd be taking

124
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:24,800
care of tom so we're ready for it we try

125
00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:26,800
not to get sick we're careful but if we

126
00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:28,720
need to uh we're ready to take care of

127
00:06:50,629 --> 00:06:49,029
is going to ask a question on behalf of

128
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:50,639
elizabeth from centennial public school

129
00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:51,840
in kitchener

130
00:06:57,990 --> 00:06:53,039
canada

131
00:07:06,150 --> 00:06:58,000
to be a partner in the international

132
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:07,990
it is very important

133
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:10,400
for many reasons first it's a unique

134
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:16,390
a matter of gravity

135
00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:18,160
so we're unfortunate

136
00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:19,360
international

137
00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:23,919
impossible to do all kind of experiments

138
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:25,280
that are not

139
00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:37,110
with respect to aspiration

140
00:07:41,749 --> 00:07:39,440
for the young canadian

141
00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:41,759
possibility uh to do something that is

142
00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:44,400
on the border of the realm of

143
00:07:47,909 --> 00:07:45,840
possibility

144
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:47,919
and it isn't necessarily too necessary

145
00:07:51,990 --> 00:07:50,000
to dream

146
00:07:54,309 --> 00:07:52,000
and for young canadians to have an

147
00:07:56,469 --> 00:07:54,319
opportunity like this to have such a

148
00:07:58,230 --> 00:07:56,479
laboratory like this

149
00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:58,240
and that's the second thing that is

150
00:08:02,309 --> 00:08:00,479
important for canadians and the canadian

151
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:02,319
people in general

152
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:04,560
i would like to introduce darcy mcrae

153
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:06,160
children's wish to ask commander

154
00:08:11,589 --> 00:08:08,560
hadfield a question on behalf of henry

155
00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:11,599
who's 12 from wellington hall academy in

156
00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:21,830
good afternoon commander hatfield here's

157
00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:23,280
the question

158
00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:25,199
does canada look like you would expect

159
00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:26,720
it to from space

160
00:08:28,790 --> 00:08:27,759
does it look

161
00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:28,800
just like

162
00:08:33,509 --> 00:08:30,960
it does on a map or is there anything

163
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:33,519
that is really unique or stands out

164
00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:40,709
uh thank you for the question when

165
00:08:44,070 --> 00:08:41,760
you're

166
00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:44,080
going this fast and seeing so much of it

167
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:45,920
when i'm overhead of winnipeg i can

168
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:48,480
still look back and see uh

169
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:50,640
be i can see the rockies and i can see

170
00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:53,519
all the way to ottawa basically and

171
00:08:56,790 --> 00:08:55,200
to be able to see the country that way

172
00:08:59,190 --> 00:08:56,800
as we race across

173
00:09:01,990 --> 00:08:59,200
what is different than i expected was

174
00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:02,000
the size of it we live in an enormous

175
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:05,040
very rich land so much opportunity and

176
00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:06,880
capability for each of us

177
00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:09,360
but then as you come across especially

178
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:11,519
at night each of the places where we

179
00:09:16,070 --> 00:09:13,360
where we gather together the cities and

180
00:09:17,430 --> 00:09:16,080
the towns even the farms they show up as

181
00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:17,440
as little

182
00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:20,000
places of warmth of little pockets of

183
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:21,920
light and as i travel across the

184
00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:22,880
prairies

185
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:24,800
and uh and then come around the bigger

186
00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:26,800
cities of course the the provincial

187
00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:28,720
capitals and all around lake ontario and

188
00:09:34,070 --> 00:09:31,040
ottawa and montreal um

189
00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:34,080
you can see the the level of activity it

190
00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:36,399
just strikes you the huge vast

191
00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:38,560
capability the raw capability of our

192
00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:40,000
country and then the way that we're

193
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:42,560
using it and then when you come the last

194
00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:44,080
place i see in canada always is the

195
00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:46,720
maritimes coming across cape breton and

196
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:50,399
newfoundland and that solid rugged rock

197
00:09:54,949 --> 00:09:52,720
that is our east coast uh it's a great

198
00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:54,959
way every time to wave furl to canada

199
00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:57,040
until we come around the world again

200
00:10:02,230 --> 00:09:59,920
it's it just warms my heart every time

201
00:10:03,829 --> 00:10:02,240
to see the potential of our country and

202
00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:03,839
to see the way that that we live there

203
00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:11,590
thank you

204
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:13,200
we're going to have a question now from

205
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:28,949
thomas

206
00:10:33,350 --> 00:10:30,389
which country is the most colored

207
00:10:36,790 --> 00:10:33,360
looking from space and do you miss your

208
00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:38,310
we said the question

209
00:10:47,030 --> 00:10:45,350
for me it's the bahamas islands that are

210
00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:47,040
the most colored

211
00:10:54,069 --> 00:10:50,640
corey because of the barrier reef the

212
00:10:58,230 --> 00:10:54,079
colors are are unbelievable

213
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:00,389
it's like a rainbow under the water

214
00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:02,880
and every time it strikes my eyes it's

215
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:05,360
incredible it's shiny

216
00:11:11,030 --> 00:11:08,000
as for the second question

217
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:11,040
are sleeping here in space

218
00:11:14,230 --> 00:11:12,240
when during

219
00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:14,240
you don't need a bed really you don't

220
00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:17,040
need a pillow it's so comfortable

221
00:11:22,389 --> 00:11:19,600
relaxing you know it's possible to be

222
00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:22,399
totally relaxed every single muscle is

223
00:11:26,790 --> 00:11:24,800
totally relaxed

224
00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:26,800
so for me it's even better than than to

225
00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:28,480
be in my bedroom and

226
00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:31,200
be my bad owner

227
00:11:37,350 --> 00:11:33,519
so this is a marvelous place to sleep in

228
00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:39,110
to ask commander hadfield a question on

229
00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:41,360
behalf of the grade three class of south

230
00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:43,519
poplar elementary abbotsford british

231
00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:45,360
columbia

232
00:11:50,230 --> 00:11:48,240
hello commander hanfield

233
00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:50,240
hello commander hatfield

234
00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:53,200
um here's my question question

235
00:11:57,910 --> 00:11:55,760
what advice do you have for the aspiring

236
00:12:03,509 --> 00:11:57,920
astronauts in our class and across the

237
00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:04,470
okay

238
00:12:09,590 --> 00:12:06,240
three things

239
00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:09,600
number one is education and i don't just

240
00:12:13,030 --> 00:12:11,440
mean uh

241
00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:13,040
reading it you know what you're told in

242
00:12:19,509 --> 00:12:16,079
school education is learning things

243
00:12:20,389 --> 00:12:19,519
education is is desiring to do know

244
00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:20,399
things

245
00:12:26,550 --> 00:12:24,880
to always try and understand what's

246
00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:26,560
going around you constantly educate

247
00:12:31,110 --> 00:12:28,480
yourself number two is take care of your

248
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:31,120
body you only get one don't you know be

249
00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:32,480
think about what you're eating when you

250
00:12:37,829 --> 00:12:33,519
eat

251
00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:37,839
and exercise your body take the stairs

252
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:40,079
carry things don't drag things exercise

253
00:12:44,629 --> 00:12:41,760
your body it doesn't take much just keep

254
00:12:46,310 --> 00:12:44,639
yourself in shape and then the third is

255
00:12:48,550 --> 00:12:46,320
make decisions

256
00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:48,560
choose things and at first you may not

257
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:50,720
make all good decisions but

258
00:12:55,190 --> 00:12:53,760
decision making is a skill and and you

259
00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:55,200
can learn it and get better at it and

260
00:12:58,150 --> 00:12:56,720
the more decisions you make the better

261
00:12:59,990 --> 00:12:58,160
you will be at

262
00:13:01,190 --> 00:13:00,000
to making them and with those three

263
00:13:03,509 --> 00:13:01,200
things

264
00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:03,519
education a healthy body and the ability

265
00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:05,600
to make good decisions you will succeed

266
00:13:09,509 --> 00:13:07,680
no matter what you do in life

267
00:13:13,430 --> 00:13:09,519
including maybe have a chance to fly in

268
00:13:18,389 --> 00:13:14,949
that does sound like good advice for a

269
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:25,509
come on

270
00:13:30,389 --> 00:13:27,110
he's going to ask a question on behalf

271
00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:30,399
of ezra a five-year-old boy

272
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:32,399
from the elizabeth ziegler school in

273
00:13:46,069 --> 00:13:41,189
can you see the planet turn

274
00:13:46,079 --> 00:14:00,629
not directly

275
00:14:07,509 --> 00:14:03,829
so as far as the earth turning

276
00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:09,509
every time we look at the earth again

277
00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:11,760
there's just uh maybe a country or part

278
00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:13,680
of the earth that has moved a little bit

279
00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:17,360
so not directly but indirectly yes

280
00:14:23,590 --> 00:14:19,760
it's possible to see the the earth

281
00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:23,600
go around itself from the space station

282
00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:26,800
i would like to introduce alexa hellyer

283
00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:29,040
to ask commander hadfield a question on

284
00:14:35,189 --> 00:14:32,160
behalf of colin grade 6 scott bateman

285
00:14:39,590 --> 00:14:37,430
hi commander hatfield is there

286
00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:39,600
turbulence in space and can you feel it

287
00:14:49,030 --> 00:14:48,230
there is no turbulence up here at all it

288
00:14:51,990 --> 00:14:49,040
is

289
00:14:54,230 --> 00:14:52,000
smoother than silk it's like

290
00:14:56,790 --> 00:14:54,240
if you've ever been skating on perfect

291
00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:56,800
new ice just after the zamboni goes and

292
00:15:02,629 --> 00:14:58,800
everything you just slide across the ice

293
00:15:04,949 --> 00:15:02,639
and you don't feel even a ripple or uh

294
00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:04,959
or maybe down a perfect slide nice and

295
00:15:08,389 --> 00:15:06,639
wet where you just everything's just

296
00:15:09,829 --> 00:15:08,399
beautifully smooth it's like that

297
00:15:13,590 --> 00:15:09,839
there's never a bump

298
00:15:15,670 --> 00:15:13,600
you can float and fly and

299
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:15,680
it's sort of like magic but no it's

300
00:15:24,629 --> 00:15:17,760
perfectly comfortable you should try it

301
00:15:29,749 --> 00:15:26,710
i'd like to introduce commander uh

302
00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:29,759
matthew broughton uh matthew is bringing

303
00:15:33,590 --> 00:15:32,480
us a question on behalf of a twitter

304
00:15:35,829 --> 00:15:33,600
account

305
00:15:38,230 --> 00:15:35,839
steffi poo 446 i'm going to assume

306
00:15:40,790 --> 00:15:38,240
that's not a real name

307
00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:40,800
she is in centennial public school also

308
00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:43,600
in waterloo ontario matthew is this

309
00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:45,360
possible to land on mars in the near

310
00:15:56,470 --> 00:15:54,310
uh steffy and matthew yes it in fact of

311
00:15:57,990 --> 00:15:56,480
course i'm sure as you know canada is

312
00:16:00,790 --> 00:15:58,000
already on mars

313
00:16:03,350 --> 00:16:00,800
um we have scientific experiments

314
00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:03,360
scientific hardware that was built by

315
00:16:08,870 --> 00:16:07,040
canadians um smart educated engineers

316
00:16:10,790 --> 00:16:08,880
and scientists that is helping us to

317
00:16:12,629 --> 00:16:10,800
understand mars right now because you

318
00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:12,639
can't understand

319
00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:14,480
the human body by looking at just one

320
00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:17,360
person you can't understand planets just

321
00:16:21,509 --> 00:16:19,120
by looking at one

322
00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:21,519
by understanding the history of mars and

323
00:16:24,389 --> 00:16:22,880
the history of the earth and the others

324
00:16:26,629 --> 00:16:24,399
we can really start to get a feel for

325
00:16:28,389 --> 00:16:26,639
what's in store for earth itself

326
00:16:31,509 --> 00:16:28,399
but i think probably your question is

327
00:16:32,870 --> 00:16:31,519
could people go to mars and yes

328
00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:32,880
things we've learned on the space

329
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:34,880
station how to stay in space for months

330
00:16:38,949 --> 00:16:36,880
and months how to build

331
00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:38,959
things what equipment to build it out of

332
00:16:43,509 --> 00:16:41,920
yes but right now it's sort of like

333
00:16:45,749 --> 00:16:43,519
sailing around the world hundreds of

334
00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:45,759
years ago or flying across the atlantic

335
00:16:50,069 --> 00:16:48,160
100 years ago it's just barely possible

336
00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:50,079
but it would be very risky and so

337
00:16:54,069 --> 00:16:52,240
therefore quite expensive

338
00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:54,079
and i think what we need to do is invent

339
00:16:58,470 --> 00:16:56,639
some more things we need canadians like

340
00:17:01,189 --> 00:16:58,480
you to come up with great inventions

341
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:01,199
like the canadarm or like

342
00:17:04,789 --> 00:17:03,199
microflow which is a

343
00:17:06,870 --> 00:17:04,799
a great canadian experiment that i'm

344
00:17:07,829 --> 00:17:06,880
working on just came up last week we

345
00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:07,839
need

346
00:17:11,590 --> 00:17:09,760
inventions that will make travel to mars

347
00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:11,600
safer and faster

348
00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:13,760
energy sources and engines so yes we

349
00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:15,520
could do it if we had to and i'm sure

350
00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:17,199
we'll do it in the future it's just a

351
00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:19,280
matter of things that we can invent

352
00:17:25,669 --> 00:17:20,480
we're limited just by our own

353
00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:28,230
i would like to introduce ava gandia to

354
00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:30,320
ask commander hadfield a question on

355
00:17:36,549 --> 00:17:32,480
behalf of jacqueline from york house

356
00:17:39,669 --> 00:17:38,390
hello commander catfield my first

357
00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:39,679
question is what has been the most

358
00:17:42,789 --> 00:17:41,360
interesting part of being an astronaut

359
00:17:44,470 --> 00:17:42,799
and going to space

360
00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:44,480
and have you had any interesting

361
00:17:54,549 --> 00:17:53,510
i think i could answer both those

362
00:17:56,549 --> 00:17:54,559
questions

363
00:17:59,430 --> 00:17:56,559
with the same answer actually

364
00:18:01,590 --> 00:17:59,440
and being inside a spaceship is

365
00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:01,600
wonderful magnificent being weightless

366
00:18:05,510 --> 00:18:03,360
doing all of this experiments being here

367
00:18:07,430 --> 00:18:05,520
with a great group of people wonderful

368
00:18:08,789 --> 00:18:07,440
motivated humble people

369
00:18:09,990 --> 00:18:08,799
but

370
00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:10,000
the most

371
00:18:14,549 --> 00:18:12,640
magnificent experience was going outside

372
00:18:17,110 --> 00:18:14,559
putting on the big white spacesuit and

373
00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:17,120
walking in space and the reason is

374
00:18:20,789 --> 00:18:18,640
not only was i out there building

375
00:18:23,029 --> 00:18:20,799
