really interesting things going on in

00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:16,799
canada right now

23
00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:18,640
and around the world

24
00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:19,520
and

25
00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:20,720
uh

26
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:22,799
in all different fields and we tend to

27
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:24,960
only focus on a few the ones that that

28
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:26,720
somehow bubble up to

29
00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:29,040
to a level of public perception

30
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:31,920
uh personally i think uh what we're

31
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:34,400
doing in human exploration

32
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:36,320
in uh trying to understand our world

33
00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:38,320
better trying to understand the area

34
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:40,560
around our planet better and then try to

35
00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:41,840
understand the rest of the universe i

36
00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:45,119
think that is important i think it's a

37
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:46,880
critical thing for the health of the

38
00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:48,159
planet the health of the canadian

39
00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:50,960
economy and and just generically for

40
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:53,360
people and so

41
00:01:58,950 --> 00:01:56,320
uh for the last 20 years as an astronaut

42
00:02:00,630 --> 00:01:58,960
i have been speaking at schools uh

43
00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:00,640
talking to the media

44
00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:03,040
writing and doing everything i can to

45
00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:04,719
try and just let people know what the

46
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:07,200
canadian space agency is doing

47
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:09,840
and now living on the space station

48
00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:11,680
with the incredible privilege of

49
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:12,879
commanding

50
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:14,560
this spaceship

51
00:02:18,949 --> 00:02:16,560
and also with the new technology that's

52
00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:18,959
available through social media and the

53
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:20,959
direct links that nasa has built between

54
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:23,200
this spaceship and earth

55
00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:25,840
it has given us the opportunity now to

56
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:27,040
really

57
00:02:30,949 --> 00:02:29,040
clearly transmit what it is we're doing

58
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:30,959
up here and to let canadians and really

59
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:32,720
the whole world see

60
00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:35,760
and that is the goal and i'm really

61
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:38,160
delighted at the just the level of

62
00:02:42,309 --> 00:02:40,640
response when you give people a chance

63
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:42,319
to see what's happening here in the

64
00:02:46,150 --> 00:02:44,080
universe around them when you get them

65
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:46,160
to experience it as people

66
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:48,560
then the response becomes overwhelming

67
00:02:52,229 --> 00:02:50,800
and uh the you know twitter is just a

68
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:52,239
means of communication it's just another

69
00:02:56,229 --> 00:02:53,599
form of radio

70
00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:56,239
but it's extremely vivid the level of

71
00:03:00,149 --> 00:02:58,400
public support and i'm really pleased to

72
00:03:02,229 --> 00:03:00,159
see it and i think it's

73
00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:02,239
the science is important but i think

74
00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:03,599
people's awareness of the science we're

75
00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:05,440
doing is important as well and i'm just

76
00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:06,959
pleased to be the the messenger in the

77
00:03:19,509 --> 00:03:17,750
good morning mr hadfield

78
00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:19,519
so

79
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:21,200
excuse me you were saying effectively

80
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:22,560
that science

81
00:03:27,190 --> 00:03:24,720
is very important

82
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:27,200
because it helps us to better

83
00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:29,760
understand the universe the planet we

84
00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:32,879
live on and i just wonder

85
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:34,480
within this

86
00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:36,159
framework

87
00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:38,080
how is

88
00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:39,760
scientific

89
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:40,879
research

90
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:42,319
important in

91
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:46,869
since

92
00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:55,670
cut the financing with

93
00:04:01,350 --> 00:03:58,799
respect to some of these

94
00:04:05,429 --> 00:04:01,360
scientific research projects so can you

95
00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:07,509
and what have been some of these

96
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:08,799
research projects that you've been

97
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:14,550
it is always very necessary

98
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:15,599
within

99
00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:18,959
a country like canada a province like

100
00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:21,359
quebec in canada it's like a family like

101
00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:24,320
at home it's good to have a balance

102
00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:26,960
between your dreams and what is

103
00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:29,680
practical between what i want to do and

104
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:32,479
what i have to do every day and just as

105
00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:36,320
it is at home you have to use a part of

106
00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:38,880
the money for today and some of the

107
00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:42,320
money for the problems insurance health

108
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:44,320
and all of that stuff but also at the

109
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:45,840
same time you have to look at some of

110
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:46,880
this

111
00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:49,120
and save it for the future and look out

112
00:04:55,189 --> 00:04:52,639
for the future to inspire my children

113
00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:55,199
our children and to be able to better

114
00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:57,919
understand the environment for health in

115
00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:01,120
the future for my family or for our

116
00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:07,029
the big question is what is the proper

117
00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:09,680
balance within this obviously and so for

118
00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:10,479
me

119
00:05:13,830 --> 00:05:13,039
and in canada we have

120
00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:13,840
a

121
00:05:22,469 --> 00:05:19,440
very high

122
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:22,479
quality of life and at the same time

123
00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:24,400
we have a lot of universities

124
00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:27,280
uh those of our relations we also have

125
00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:29,280
the opportunities for the young

126
00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:31,360
canadians

127
00:05:35,749 --> 00:05:33,039
as never before

128
00:05:39,189 --> 00:05:35,759
and it is difficult it's

129
00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:39,199
maybe not the easiest moment in history

130
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:41,280
but between the first and the second

131
00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:44,400
world war it was a tough time

132
00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:46,960
every historic time there's always

133
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:49,280
problems so this

134
00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:50,960
reminds us

135
00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:53,120
or make us think that these are the

136
00:05:58,150 --> 00:05:55,919
worst problems ever but they may not be

137
00:05:59,430 --> 00:05:58,160
at the same time you always have to be

138
00:06:01,270 --> 00:05:59,440
thinking

139
00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:01,280
long term

140
00:06:06,309 --> 00:06:04,160
and to have a balance between today and

141
00:06:08,110 --> 00:06:06,319
tomorrow and with what we do here today

142
00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:08,120
we have our

143
00:06:14,629 --> 00:06:11,360
manipulating arm and also we have some

144
00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:15,909
download

145
00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:18,880
in the station such as the microflow

146
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:20,479
that was

147
00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:23,520
designed and invented in canada in

148
00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:25,120
quebec

149
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:28,160
and this is a huge

150
00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:30,400
improvement for

151
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:33,360
blood tests for canada this was an

152
00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:40,629
thanks to the money for research

153
00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:43,440
we were able to do this but also

154
00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:44,960
it was

155
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:47,199
financed by some canadian businesses and

156
00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:49,919
it's good for canadian health and

157
00:06:58,790 --> 00:06:56,390
me

158
00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:58,800
from what i do as an astronaut is to

159
00:07:02,469 --> 00:07:00,960
work as hard as possible

160
00:07:06,309 --> 00:07:02,479
so that every

161
00:07:09,029 --> 00:07:06,319
penny that is given to the agency to me

162
00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:09,039
because this is my responsibility i

163
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:12,160
fulfill it to the maximum

164
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:13,360
potential

165
00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:15,520
for me and for the station

166
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:18,400
for the space station program and for

167
00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:28,550
hi chris it's peter wright from the

168
00:07:32,469 --> 00:07:29,919
canadian press

169
00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:32,479
we've seen you smiling all the time

170
00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:34,160
we've seen your tweets we've seen your

171
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:35,759
pictures

172
00:07:39,510 --> 00:07:38,160
um a question i have to ask and people

173
00:07:41,749 --> 00:07:39,520
kind of wonder sometimes is there

174
00:07:43,350 --> 00:07:41,759
anything you find frustrating up there

175
00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:43,360
is there anything that just gets you

176
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:45,599
gets your temper going

177
00:07:49,189 --> 00:07:46,960
i just wonder if there's any

178
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:49,199
difficulties you face any frustrations

179
00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:51,280
that you keep to yourself or

180
00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:52,800
just to keep yourself going and if you

181
00:07:58,550 --> 00:07:54,080
can answer in french as well i'd

182
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:01,510
peter this this is a marvelous marvelous

183
00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:03,120
human experience

184
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:04,080
and

185
00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:06,160
i mean the only thing that gets me mad

186
00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:08,879
is i have to sleep i mean it's this is a

187
00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:11,759
tremendous opportunity one that i've

188
00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:13,759
i've dreamed about since i was a young

189
00:08:17,029 --> 00:08:15,360
canadian and one that i've worked

190
00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:17,039
towards ever since

191
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:18,000
and

192
00:08:20,950 --> 00:08:18,800
my

193
00:08:23,029 --> 00:08:20,960
resolution has been to make the absolute

194
00:08:25,029 --> 00:08:23,039
most of it to spend as little time

195
00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:25,039
sleeping as i can if i get an extra

196
00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:26,960
three or four minutes go look out the

197
00:08:30,550 --> 00:08:28,319
window when i get back from this i'm

198
00:08:33,909 --> 00:08:30,560
gonna regret every minute that i didn't

199
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:33,919
spend looking at the world or or trying

200
00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:36,560
small experiments or doing things that

201
00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:38,240
that are impossible in the rest of my

202
00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:39,039
life

203
00:08:43,990 --> 00:08:41,760
and no i mean

204
00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:44,000
you can find beauty and

205
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,560
pleasure in every day or you can find

206
00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:48,480
frustration and hate in every day it's

207
00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:50,720
kind of a personal choice and up here

208
00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:53,360
the opportunity for the pleasurable

209
00:08:59,350 --> 00:08:55,440
beautiful part is overwhelmingly in the

210
00:09:02,070 --> 00:08:59,360
majority so i i i don't let myself

211
00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:02,080
get that way it's not going to help and

212
00:09:05,829 --> 00:09:04,480
it um and it's kind of coward and too

213
00:09:33,590 --> 00:09:05,839
counterintuitive to being in a place

214
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:34,870
fine about everything that's gonna

215
00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:37,600
happen today and i have been dreaming

216
00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:40,160
about being in the station since i was 9

217
00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:42,160
or 10 years old and i've been

218
00:09:46,230 --> 00:09:44,800
training for this moment all my life

219
00:09:49,269 --> 00:09:46,240
so for me

220
00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:49,279
the most frustrating part maybe

221
00:09:54,389 --> 00:09:51,680
is the need to sleep because this takes

222
00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:54,399
out a couple of hours of my day and like

223
00:10:00,630 --> 00:09:57,519
i said before it is an environment that

224
00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:00,640
is amazing inspiring and when i have

225
00:10:06,550 --> 00:10:04,399
three extra minutes we have the window

226
00:10:08,630 --> 00:10:06,560
and that is like a dream

227
00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:08,640
to look out that window

228
00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:12,320
and so i would say no

229
00:10:17,509 --> 00:10:15,360
i chose the emotions of being here i can

230
00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:17,519
change the emotions myself this is a

231
00:10:24,949 --> 00:10:21,120
personal choice so i choose

232
00:10:31,190 --> 00:10:24,959
to be in a good mood and to

233
00:10:35,829 --> 00:10:33,829
hi chris it's jackie again from uh the

234
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:35,839
nature of things at cbc

235
00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:38,560
um and uh because i'm here for the

236
00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:40,240
nature of things i'm wondering if david

237
00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:42,640
suzuki was up there with you

238
00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:45,040
what would you want to tell him and show

239
00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:46,800
him about how

240
00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:49,279
the science in space has applications

241
00:11:01,829 --> 00:11:00,550
jackie uh

242
00:11:04,949 --> 00:11:01,839
the real world

243
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:04,959
is a tiny little blue speck

244
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:08,160
uh surrounded by everything else

245
00:11:12,069 --> 00:11:10,560
and we are only just now just starting

246
00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:12,079
to understand

247
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:13,440
um

248
00:11:18,630 --> 00:11:15,519
about all the rest of that

249
00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:18,640
and it is only by by taking these first

250
00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:20,720
steps away from our planet both with

251
00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:24,160
machinery with robots but but more

252
00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:26,720
uh interestingly and much more deeply

253
00:11:31,829 --> 00:11:29,120
with people that we can really start to

254
00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:31,839
see the world's place in all of that

255
00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:34,160
and so for any person that came up i

256
00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:36,000
mean we we grab each other by the scruff

257
00:11:40,310 --> 00:11:38,079
of the neck up here but for any person

258
00:11:41,990 --> 00:11:40,320
that that came up here to the space

259
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:42,000
station of course the first thing i

260
00:11:46,949 --> 00:11:44,320
would do uh would be to take them to the

261
00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:46,959
big window so they could truly see our

262
00:11:52,949 --> 00:11:49,440
earth to understand

263
00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:52,959
uh the magnificence of it the the

264
00:11:58,710 --> 00:11:56,480
inevitable power of it the size the the

265
00:12:00,790 --> 00:11:58,720
rolling beauty of it but also the

266
00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:00,800
inherent fragility of it and when you

267
00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:03,360
see the the blackness and the harshness

268
00:12:07,670 --> 00:12:05,440
of the universe and the

269
00:12:10,150 --> 00:12:07,680
the one layer of onion skin atmosphere

270
00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:10,160
that's around our planet

271
00:12:14,629 --> 00:12:12,720
then it it becomes so vivid in your mind

272
00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:14,639
that that it it permanently changes your

273
00:12:17,910 --> 00:12:16,320
thinking if you hadn't thought about it

274
00:12:20,069 --> 00:12:17,920
before

275
00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:20,079
and then of course just the science

276
00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:22,160
that's on board we're running uh

277
00:12:25,509 --> 00:12:23,920
hundreds of experiments on the space

278
00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:25,519
station that can't be run on the surface

279
00:12:29,829 --> 00:12:28,000
of the earth and so after we got over

280
00:12:32,069 --> 00:12:29,839
the initial wonder of it

281
00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:32,079
uh i would go around to each of the

282
00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:34,720
racks around and talk about the uh the

283
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:36,320
metals research that's going on in that

284
00:12:40,389 --> 00:12:37,600
rack over there

285
00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:40,399
or the crystallization research that's

286
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:43,040
going on over my head to try and

287
00:12:47,269 --> 00:12:45,760
make better materials on earth or a

288
00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:47,279
microflow here in my hands that's

289
00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:49,360
floating around a canadian experiment

290
00:12:52,470 --> 00:12:51,279
that has taken this challenge and

291
00:12:54,629 --> 00:12:52,480
necessity

292
00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:54,639
uh of keeping people healthy out here

293
00:12:58,629 --> 00:12:56,800
and as a result have come up with a a

294
00:12:59,990 --> 00:12:58,639
way of doing blood analysis and

295
00:13:02,150 --> 00:13:00,000
something that you can see is the size

296
00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:02,160
of a of a

297
00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:05,360
bread box or a big loaf of bread um

298
00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:07,120
that when you challenge people with a

299
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:09,120
new extreme with a new frontier and a

300
00:13:13,030 --> 00:13:10,800
new environment they come up with new

301
00:13:14,389 --> 00:13:13,040
solutions and mounted to the top of this

302
00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:14,399
space station

303
00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:15,279
is

304
00:13:19,350 --> 00:13:17,040
uh the alpha magnetic spectrometer the

305
00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:19,360
control computer is right here beside me

306
00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:21,600
and it is trying to understand the

307
00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:24,720
absolute stuff of the universe what is

308
00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:26,399
antimatter what is the percentage of

309
00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:28,560
antimatter and dark matter collecting

310
00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:30,720
dark energy from the universe try you

311
00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:32,000
know something that has just very

312
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:34,639
recently even been theorized and proven

313
00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:38,160
and we are using this human platform to

314
00:13:41,110 --> 00:13:39,920
dig into that to actually get out there

315
00:13:42,550 --> 00:13:41,120
and sample it

316
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:42,560
something that can't be done any other

317
00:13:46,230 --> 00:13:43,440
way

318
00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:46,240
so uh it would be with with great

319
00:13:50,949 --> 00:13:48,560
pleasure and pride that

320
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:50,959
i would have anybody come up and someone

321
00:13:56,150 --> 00:13:53,839
of david suzuki's stature would be a

322
00:13:59,670 --> 00:13:56,160
wonderful

323
00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:59,680
representative of humanity to come up

324
00:14:12,550 --> 00:14:01,680
and really see the magnificence of what

325
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:27,430
good morning mr hatfield friends um

326
00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:30,710
was it a very important time when mr

327
00:14:34,389 --> 00:14:32,880
research had told him

328
00:14:36,629 --> 00:14:34,399
or had written

329
00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:36,639
the limit

330
00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:40,399
by writing sky is no longer the

331
00:14:45,910 --> 00:14:42,880
limit and i saw this in the office and

332
00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:45,920
for him this was a very touching moment

333
00:14:49,829 --> 00:14:48,639
so i just wanted to share this moment

334
00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:49,839
for you because i thought it was

335
00:14:54,230 --> 00:14:51,760
beautiful i saw this

336
00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:54,240
on his wall

337
00:15:07,910 --> 00:14:56,639
and i had a question you had spoken

338
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:17,829
and you mentioned how fragile

339
00:15:23,509 --> 00:15:19,990
what do you think about

340
00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:23,519
global warming when you look at it from

341
00:15:26,389 --> 00:15:25,680
space do you think in canada we should

342
00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:26,399
change

343
00:15:31,670 --> 00:15:28,480
the things we're doing

344
00:15:35,430 --> 00:15:33,590
maybe wake up

345
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:35,440
strongly

346
00:15:42,230 --> 00:15:37,680
regarding global warming what do you

347
00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:46,310
yes it is like having a glance here from

348
00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:48,720
the station when you look at earth

349
00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:50,000
because

350
00:15:59,749 --> 00:15:52,720
right now you can see

351
00:16:03,749 --> 00:16:02,710
right between kazakhstan and russia

352
00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:03,759
and

353
00:16:12,949 --> 00:16:09,920
last 20 years the changes there were

354
00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:12,959
amazing and that was a human change

355
00:16:17,030 --> 00:16:14,480
change that

356
00:16:24,310 --> 00:16:17,040
has occurred thanks to what humans have

357
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:28,150
it's almost like a small ocean and now

358
00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:31,600
there's almost nothing it's just sand

359
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:33,040
and that is a

360
00:16:37,749 --> 00:16:35,680
result of our decisions of what we have

361
00:16:40,870 --> 00:16:37,759
done

362
00:16:44,629 --> 00:16:40,880
this is maybe the future

363
00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:44,639
for some of the other parts of the world

364
00:16:49,829 --> 00:16:46,959
and the planet and our country as well

365
00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:49,839
so it's up to us to think about this to

366
00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:52,079
see this to know this

367
00:16:56,389 --> 00:16:53,759
and it's hard to

368
00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:56,399
to know obviously it's far from canada

369
00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:58,399
and you may say this is not our problem

370
00:17:02,310 --> 00:17:01,440
but that's not true the big lakes are

371
00:17:05,270 --> 00:17:02,320
not

372
00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:05,280
unlimited there is a limit

373
00:17:11,110 --> 00:17:08,400
of how much water there is in the rivers

374
00:17:12,549 --> 00:17:11,120
in the lakes so it is

375
00:17:15,590 --> 00:17:12,559
needed

376
00:17:16,470 --> 00:17:15,600
it's very important for us to think of

377
00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:16,480
what

378
00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:19,760
we are doing and obviously we cannot

379
00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:20,880
change

380
00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:22,240
that quickly

381
00:17:28,150 --> 00:17:25,439
the small changes are what can

382
00:17:30,870 --> 00:17:28,160
translate into a bigger change and

383
00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:30,880
myself as an individual what you do what

384
00:17:35,669 --> 00:17:32,880
each canadian does

385
00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:35,679
together it is possible

386
00:17:39,669 --> 00:17:37,360
to make a change

387
00:17:42,630 --> 00:17:39,679
so this is the first graduate but this

388
00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:42,640
has to be done gradually

389
00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:46,000
climate is changing naturally and

390
00:17:49,510 --> 00:17:47,120
perhaps

391
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:49,520
as a result of what we have done

392
00:17:54,870 --> 00:17:52,480
our influence like you said

393
00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:54,880
the global warming but

394
00:18:00,950 --> 00:17:57,919
it's not the first time in the planet

395
00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:00,960
history and it won't be the last

396
00:18:05,510 --> 00:18:03,520
and so maybe we just need to be more

397
00:18:07,830 --> 00:18:05,520
responsible in

398
00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:07,840
prolonged the decisions we make and

399
00:18:11,510 --> 00:18:08,880
think of

400
00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:11,520
the longer term more than five years

401
00:18:15,669 --> 00:18:12,840
more than the

402
00:18:18,070 --> 00:18:15,679
upcoming elections more than just one

403
00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:18,080
life span

404
00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:18,880
and

405
00:18:26,789 --> 00:18:23,679
further so with smaller changes

406
00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:26,799
and with very small steps

407
00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:29,919
we may be able to keep the health of our

408
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:36,070
uh just one quick last one chris uh

409
00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:37,760
let's talk about social media you have

410
00:18:42,390 --> 00:18:40,320
over half a million followers last i

411
00:18:44,710 --> 00:18:42,400
checked and and counting

412
00:18:46,870 --> 00:18:44,720
uh can we talk about uh that in the

413
00:18:48,789 --> 00:18:46,880
context of of all those that you've seen

414
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:48,799
out there of all the uh tweets that

415
00:18:53,029 --> 00:18:51,440
you've had of all the images you've shot

416
00:18:54,789 --> 00:18:53,039
but particularly was there one that

417
00:18:57,029 --> 00:18:54,799
stood out and the other part is i

418
00:18:58,470 --> 00:18:57,039
understand your son evan is also helping

419
00:19:05,750 --> 00:18:58,480
you out on this so we can sort of wrap

420
00:19:07,909 --> 00:19:06,549
well

421
00:19:10,230 --> 00:19:07,919
first

422
00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:10,240
let me just say that a tremendous number

423
00:19:15,029 --> 00:19:13,200
of people have worked very very hard to

424
00:19:16,070 --> 00:19:15,039
make this type of thing possible for our

425
00:19:17,110 --> 00:19:16,080
country

426
00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:17,120
and for me to be here as a

427
00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:19,440
representative

428
00:19:22,789 --> 00:19:20,960
you know people right across the country

429
00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:22,799
building canadarm that was our ticket on

430
00:19:26,870 --> 00:19:24,720
board

431
00:19:28,870 --> 00:19:26,880
the people at the space agency of course

432
00:19:30,390 --> 00:19:28,880
do tremendous work

433
00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:30,400
i've worked at this for a long time

434
00:19:34,950 --> 00:19:32,799
myself along with the other astronauts

435
00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:34,960
and so this is only the result of that

436
00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:38,320
that this possibility even exists

437
00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:40,480
and the public awareness of it comes

438
00:19:44,630 --> 00:19:42,799
from all that huge pyramid of work that

439
00:19:47,590 --> 00:19:44,640
leads up to it

440
00:19:49,029 --> 00:19:47,600
and really is is culminating now

441
00:19:51,669 --> 00:19:49,039
with with something really clear to

442
00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:51,679
focus on and i think it's great uh

443
00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:53,840
enlisted the aid of someone who's who's

444
00:19:58,549 --> 00:19:55,440
of the right generation to try and give

445
00:20:00,150 --> 00:19:58,559
me advice on on how to use social media

446
00:20:02,070 --> 00:20:00,160
in addition to all the other uh

447
00:20:03,590 --> 00:20:02,080
wonderful work that's being done and my

448
00:20:05,510 --> 00:20:03,600
son evan has been helping me with that

449
00:20:08,149 --> 00:20:05,520
and doing a terrific job

450
00:20:10,470 --> 00:20:08,159
um as evidenced by the number of people

451
00:20:12,149 --> 00:20:10,480
and twitter's just one measure of course

452
00:20:13,909 --> 00:20:12,159
uh you know there's over half a million

453
00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:13,919
people following on twitter but social

454
00:20:16,870 --> 00:20:16,080
media has many different forms

455
00:20:18,390 --> 00:20:16,880
and

456
00:20:20,390 --> 00:20:18,400
the numbers are are

457
00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:20,400
good to read but what's what's important

458
00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:22,240
out of it is

459
00:20:26,230 --> 00:20:24,080
is the impact that it has

460
00:20:27,830 --> 00:20:26,240
and you asked what what is significant

461
00:20:30,950 --> 00:20:27,840
out of that for me

462
00:20:33,270 --> 00:20:30,960
i read constantly about school rooms

463
00:20:35,990 --> 00:20:33,280
across canada and around the world that

464
00:20:38,149 --> 00:20:36,000
are using this to teach

465
00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:38,159
that are using uh the work that i'm

466
00:20:41,909 --> 00:20:40,320
doing the science that we have on board

467
00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:41,919
like microflow

468
00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:44,320
the pictures that we take of the world

469
00:20:51,029 --> 00:20:46,880
uh the fact that i speak three languages

470
00:20:53,110 --> 00:20:51,039
uh one reasonably and two passably

471
00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:53,120
they use the fact that i play guitar and

472
00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:54,320
play music

473
00:20:59,669 --> 00:20:56,720
they use all of those different facets

474
00:21:02,870 --> 00:20:59,679
of this human experience leaving earth

475
00:21:04,230 --> 00:21:02,880
in order to teach in order to inspire

476
00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:04,240
young people

477
00:21:07,750 --> 00:21:05,760
all around the world but specifically

478
00:21:08,710 --> 00:21:07,760
for us of course in canada

479
00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:08,720
to

480
00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:15,200
and it's it's a really clear message

481
00:21:19,909 --> 00:21:17,520
when you can see one canadian

482
00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:19,919
constantly comparing all of these places

483
00:21:22,950 --> 00:21:22,080
around the world almost simultaneously

484
00:21:27,669 --> 00:21:22,960
it

485
00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:27,679
foreign and different when they are all

486
00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:29,840
viewed in 90 minutes and for me it's

487
00:21:34,470 --> 00:21:32,159
very heartwarming when i see that people

488
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:34,480
are internalizing that when they start

489
00:21:39,909 --> 00:21:37,440
stop using the third person and start

490
00:21:40,870 --> 00:21:39,919
talking about we and us and not just you

491
00:21:43,350 --> 00:21:40,880
and they

492
00:21:46,310 --> 00:21:43,360
and and so uh

493
00:21:47,350 --> 00:21:46,320
uh i mean mine is just one voice in in

494
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:47,360
billions

495
00:21:51,510 --> 00:21:49,360
um i'm the commander of this spaceship

496
00:21:53,430 --> 00:21:51,520
but i'm the 35th commander of this

497
00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:53,440
spaceship this is this is by no means

498
00:21:57,750 --> 00:21:55,200
any sort of pinnacle

499
00:21:58,789 --> 00:21:57,760
but at the same time i'm trying to

500
00:22:00,950 --> 00:21:58,799
use

501
00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:00,960
uh whatever means i can in order to just

502
00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:02,880
help people see themselves better and to

503
00:22:06,149 --> 00:22:04,559
make better decisions whether they're

504
00:22:09,029 --> 00:22:06,159
five years old or whether they're 85

505
00:22:10,630 --> 00:22:09,039
years old and social media and all of

506
00:22:13,350 --> 00:22:10,640
the work that the people are doing has

507
00:22:16,070 --> 00:22:13,360
been a big part of that

508
00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:16,080
station this is houston acr the canadian

509
00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:17,679
space agency passes along their

510
00:22:23,750 --> 00:22:20,080
sincerest appreciation that concludes

511
00:22:28,230 --> 00:22:26,390
thank you thank you very much nice to

512
00:22:30,470 --> 00:22:28,240
talk

513
00:22:32,070 --> 00:22:30,480
thank you space agency and thank you
