1 00:00:07,909 --> 00:00:03,830 station this is mission control are you 2 00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:12,629 ready for the event 3 00:00:18,790 --> 00:00:14,789 hey tom this is jared from 30 seconds to 4 00:00:23,029 --> 00:00:21,349 hey jared region loud and clear great to 5 00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:23,039 hear your voice welcome on board the 6 00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:24,480 space station 7 00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:27,199 thank you so much uh you look happy and 8 00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:34,630 yeah i feel to feel happy and healthy 9 00:00:38,069 --> 00:00:36,079 everybody's taking good care of us up 10 00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:38,079 here just finished a weight workout 11 00:00:42,389 --> 00:00:40,320 actually after a day of uh working on 12 00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:42,399 experiments so it's been a lot of fun 13 00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:44,480 so is it the end of your day right now 14 00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:46,160 the beginning of your day what's it like 15 00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:52,389 so right now it's mid-afternoon uh we're 16 00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:55,120 on greenwich mean time i woke up 17 00:00:58,950 --> 00:00:57,360 started after breakfast started doing a 18 00:01:01,750 --> 00:00:58,960 bunch of experiments in the japanese 19 00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:01,760 module the kibo and actually setting up 20 00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:03,280 a series of experiments that will be 21 00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:05,280 going on over the next couple of weeks 22 00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:07,600 uh had lunch uh continued on with the 23 00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:09,600 work in the laboratory i had a couple of 24 00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:11,600 workouts and here we are in the middle 25 00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:13,680 of the middle of the afternoon now 26 00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:15,600 it's interesting do you have to work out 27 00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,149 yeah as a matter of fact you do 28 00:01:26,149 --> 00:01:24,400 you know being in space in zero gravity 29 00:01:26,789 --> 00:01:26,159 where your body doesn't have to work at 30 00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:26,799 all 31 00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:28,720 to stand up to sit down or even to lie 32 00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:29,520 down 33 00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:31,680 me floating in space is more relaxing to 34 00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:34,479 the muscles than even lying in bed uh on 35 00:01:36,550 --> 00:01:35,360 earth 36 00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:36,560 since we don't feel the effects of 37 00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:39,600 gravity so we would we would turn into 38 00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:41,920 jellyfish probably if we we didn't work 39 00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:44,000 out we work out on a treadmill right 40 00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:45,759 here to the side of me is a cycle 41 00:01:51,109 --> 00:01:48,880 ergometer a stationary bike if you will 42 00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:51,119 and we have a great resistive exercise 43 00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:52,079 device 44 00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:54,560 we can lift up to 600 pounds i can't do 45 00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:57,600 that but uh one could and uh so we're 46 00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:58,880 working out the bones and the muscles to 47 00:02:02,149 --> 00:02:00,079 keep them all strong it's pretty 48 00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:02,159 important to be functional when we get 49 00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:04,719 back home so you sleep really well up 50 00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:10,070 oh you know it's probably different for 51 00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:12,000 different people um when i first got 52 00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:14,000 here i was so excited and uh so much 53 00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:16,480 that i wanted to do that um 54 00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:18,480 i did not sleep just great it's kind of 55 00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:19,840 like if you're really busy at work and 56 00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:21,440 you have deadlines or that kind of thing 57 00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:23,200 it's a little bit hard to sleep but as 58 00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:25,040 you progress as your body gets used to 59 00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,120 floating as well and not lying against a 60 00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:29,280 bed and your head's not against a pillow 61 00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:31,200 as you get used to that the sleep 62 00:02:36,309 --> 00:02:33,280 becomes just wonderful 63 00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:36,319 that's amazing and uh what about uh what 64 00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:37,840 about eating how often do you have to 65 00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:39,519 eat you have to eat extra calories while 66 00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:45,509 you know we we listen to our bodies and 67 00:02:50,150 --> 00:02:48,160 eat when we're hungry the uh we're told 68 00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:50,160 that we can lose weight if we don't work 69 00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:51,760 at it there's something about we don't 70 00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:53,280 quite understand it but something about 71 00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:54,879 living in zero gravity even though we 72 00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:56,640 are floating a lot of the time maybe 73 00:03:00,390 --> 00:02:58,400 it's all the workouts we do 74 00:03:02,070 --> 00:03:00,400 but we need more calories than we think 75 00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:02,080 we do and so we eat a good bit we have 76 00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:04,000 this pantry that's just stocked full of 77 00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:05,120 stuff 78 00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,959 we can eat whenever we have time and 79 00:03:09,509 --> 00:03:08,640 there is time set aside for each meal of 80 00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:09,519 the day 81 00:03:14,309 --> 00:03:11,840 so we work it in the food's great 82 00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:14,319 what about dreams what are your dreams 83 00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:16,800 like up there are they vivid uh are they 84 00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:22,390 you know i've talked to a lot of 85 00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:24,480 astronauts about that and 86 00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:27,280 my dreams have not changed but i 87 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:29,040 understand a lot of astronauts have 88 00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:31,280 floating dreams that's typically the the 89 00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:33,680 most common kind that are different 90 00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:35,200 well i take that back i did have one 91 00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:37,120 floating dream i was outside of the 92 00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:38,720 space station 93 00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:40,400 not in a spacesuit floating around the 94 00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:42,159 outside and looking at it 95 00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:44,400 that was as a little bit 96 00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:46,080 exciting a little overly exciting at the 97 00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:48,640 time but uh when i had the dream but uh 98 00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:50,720 it was a lot of fun actually too 99 00:03:59,910 --> 00:03:58,229 you know it it actually does so you're 100 00:04:01,190 --> 00:03:59,920 looking at this module here and we're 101 00:04:03,429 --> 00:04:01,200 surrounded by 102 00:04:04,949 --> 00:04:03,439 outer space just on the on the sides 103 00:04:07,509 --> 00:04:04,959 here in the top and the bottom 104 00:04:09,030 --> 00:04:07,519 surrounded by outer space all around and 105 00:04:10,869 --> 00:04:09,040 you'd think it'd be kind of confining 106 00:04:14,149 --> 00:04:10,879 but the the space station is about the 107 00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:14,159 size of a five-bedroom house and you can 108 00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:15,920 you don't have to stand on the floor i 109 00:04:19,749 --> 00:04:18,000 can use the the wall as a floor i can be 110 00:04:21,749 --> 00:04:19,759 up on the ceiling so you actually have 111 00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:21,759 more space than you think you do 112 00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:23,520 it's easy to move around we can float by 113 00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:24,560 each other 114 00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:26,639 sometimes we move these racks up we 115 00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:28,479 obstruct the area completely but we can 116 00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:29,440 still 117 00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:30,560 easily 118 00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:32,639 float on by so actually it feels quite 119 00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:34,800 spacious and we don't feel i don't feel 120 00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:36,720 confined at all 121 00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:39,520 wow that's amazing do you ever listen to 122 00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:47,350 i do uh during workouts is the most 123 00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:48,960 common time i think when people listen 124 00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:50,160 to music 125 00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:51,280 sometimes 126 00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:52,960 not me but others might listen to music 127 00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:54,560 while they're working on their laptop 128 00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:57,040 something like that so 129 00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:58,800 music's very much a part of our lives up 130 00:05:03,510 --> 00:05:01,120 here chris hadfield is a musician 131 00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:03,520 himself a performer and so he's been 132 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:06,080 playing and recording some music up here 133 00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:07,680 but 134 00:05:11,189 --> 00:05:09,520 quite a few astronauts actually play 135 00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:11,199 instruments i play a little classical 136 00:05:14,550 --> 00:05:12,560 guitar myself 137 00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:14,560 but uh listening to music helps us get 138 00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:17,039 through the workouts and uh for some 139 00:05:19,510 --> 00:05:18,479 people might help them relax at night as 140 00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:19,520 well 141 00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:21,680 got it did you uh 142 00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:23,520 did you get the cd 143 00:05:27,110 --> 00:05:26,160 from a little band called 30 seconds to 144 00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:27,120 mars 145 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:28,800 this song called up in here did you get 146 00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:31,360 that did it make it up there 147 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,629 do you mean this cd 148 00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:40,550 uh it's now doing something it could 149 00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:45,830 that's incredible 150 00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:49,840 that's amazing the cd is flying up here 151 00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:51,520 very very cool that's well that's a 152 00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:53,759 that's a that's a moment of uh uh that 153 00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:55,360 we'll never forget right there thank you 154 00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:57,360 so much for spinning that around we've 155 00:06:02,309 --> 00:05:59,039 been wondering uh 156 00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:02,319 and thinking about that 157 00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:03,520 a lot 158 00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:05,440 that's great 159 00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:07,520 it's wonderful 160 00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:09,360 we found it surprising that you go yeah 161 00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:16,790 oh yeah we have uh we have that we have 162 00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:19,600 uh other devices you know just uh 163 00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:21,680 can listen to wave files that sort of 164 00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:23,840 thing but having a cd around is is very 165 00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:25,199 nice as well 166 00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:26,880 i actually wrote a little note to you 167 00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:28,400 guys i

you you you teach 182 00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:07,440 us time and time again that the 183 00:07:12,629 --> 00:07:10,160 impossible is indeed impossible and and 184 00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:12,639 keep pushing on the limits of uh 185 00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:15,520 of uh of technology 186 00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:17,680 and uh it's just such an amazing and 187 00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:19,520 inspiring

00:07:31,189 oh please that'd be great um what this 191 00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:33,840 is from at mars mummy uh that's the 192 00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:35,199 twitter handle what's your most 193 00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:44,070 that is really hard to say but i there's 194 00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:46,319 two that i think you know in you know 20 195 00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:47,680 years from now that i'll still be 196 00:07:51,909 --> 00:07:48,800 thinking about 197 00:07:53,189 --> 00:07:51,919 uh one was my last few seconds on my 198 00:07:54,869 --> 00:07:53,199 spacewalk 199 00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:54,879 that i did when i was on the on a 200 00:07:59,189 --> 00:07:57,039 shuttle flight up here on a construction 201 00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:59,199 mission and it was my last few seconds 202 00:08:03,029 --> 00:08:00,960 on my last spacewalk and just looking 203 00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:03,039 down between my feet down at the earth 204 00:08:06,230 --> 00:08:04,160 and i believe i was looking at the 205 00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:06,240 kamchatka peninsula on the eastern coast 206 00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:08,000 of russia and looking at the mountains 207 00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:10,560 in the alpenglow and that was a 208 00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:12,400 spectacularly beautiful moment but a 209 00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:14,560 poignant one for me because i i didn't 210 00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:15,919 know if that would be the last spacewalk 211 00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:17,440 i'd ever do and as it turns out it 212 00:08:21,990 --> 00:08:20,160 probably was the other moment most of us 213 00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:22,000 share our best moments with a colleague 214 00:08:24,790 --> 00:08:23,520 and another moment was looking out the 215 00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:24,800 window 216 00:08:29,589 --> 00:08:26,560 looking at the east coast with a storm 217 00:08:31,189 --> 00:08:29,599 again at sunset there was uh lightning 218 00:08:33,589 --> 00:08:31,199 in the storm you could see greens and 219 00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:33,599 blues and yellows and oranges uh in the 220 00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:35,519 lightning but the lightning was buried 221 00:08:40,070 --> 00:08:37,200 in the clouds so it's just these tufts 222 00:08:42,949 --> 00:08:40,080 of of light scattered all around uh and 223 00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:42,959 it was just uh breathtaking i really 224 00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:44,640 felt at that moment almost like an alien 225 00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:46,000 looking down at earth seeing something 226 00:08:49,590 --> 00:08:48,160 that otherwise you just couldn't see so 227 00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:49,600 i'll certainly never forget that 228 00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:51,120 particularly because i was able to share 229 00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:53,279 it with one of my crewmates 230 00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:54,880 that sounds beautiful 231 00:08:59,350 --> 00:08:57,120 uh at elena 232 00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:59,360 underscored d cast says 233 00:09:07,430 --> 00:09:01,279 if you could choose to live either in 234 00:09:10,630 --> 00:09:08,870 you know i spent my whole life being 235 00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:10,640 curious about space 236 00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:12,720 and uh i'm i'm very lucky very 237 00:09:16,070 --> 00:09:14,320 privileged to have that curiosity 238 00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:16,080 satisfied there's always more to learn 239 00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:17,200 but 240 00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:19,600 uh as wonderful as it is as it is up 241 00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:20,399 here 242 00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:22,240 we all kind of agree we look back at the 243 00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:23,839 earth and we fall back in love with the 244 00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:25,040 earth again 245 00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:28,080 um and uh so yeah my my place is uh 246 00:09:31,990 --> 00:09:30,000 feeling the feeling the pool of gravity 247 00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:32,000 my feet on the ground uh not only 248 00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:34,000 because my family is is there my friends 249 00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:35,519 are there but you know that's where we 250 00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:36,959 came from and that's kind of where our 251 00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:40,000 bodies are are tuned to belong in a lot 252 00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:42,560 of ways uh it'll be a very exciting 253 00:09:45,509 --> 00:09:44,160 thing when people are able to leave the 254 00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:45,519 earth and go somewhere but i think we'll 255 00:09:49,829 --> 00:09:47,200 always long for the earth and look back 256 00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:49,839 at it with uh with wonderful memories 257 00:09:53,110 --> 00:09:51,839 and uh 258 00:09:55,670 --> 00:09:53,120 certainly the earth has taken very good 259 00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:55,680 care of us and getting us this far 260 00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:00,320 uh here's another uh question uh 261 00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:05,200 does the time this is by uh uh 262 00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:06,800 art system 263 00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:08,480 um 264 00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:10,480 happy you're in the iss is a long time 265 00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:12,320 how does the time go by for you is it is 266 00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:19,430 it's amazing jared 267 00:10:24,069 --> 00:10:21,760 the uh we have a saying up here that the 268 00:10:25,829 --> 00:10:24,079 the work week consists of a monday and a 269 00:10:27,829 --> 00:10:25,839 friday with only just a couple of hours 270 00:10:29,269 --> 00:10:27,839 in between it goes by so fast you 271 00:10:31,509 --> 00:10:29,279 wouldn't believe it 272 00:10:33,430 --> 00:10:31,519 mostly because every moment is 273 00:10:34,949 --> 00:10:33,440 interesting and exciting just you know 274 00:10:36,630 --> 00:10:34,959 it's it's exciting to talk to you it's 275 00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:36,640 exciting to float this microphone in 276 00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:37,600 front of me 277 00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:39,680 uh nothing ever gets old but mostly 278 00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:42,480 because we have meaningful uh very 279 00:10:46,389 --> 00:10:44,640 intense work to do in these in all of 280 00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:46,399 these laboratories and we're seeing 281 00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:48,320 amazing results every day we we don't 282 00:10:51,269 --> 00:10:49,920 understand them all but we relate them 283 00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:51,279 to the scientists on the ground who are 284 00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:53,040 figuring out what it all means 285 00:10:57,670 --> 00:10:55,760 um and it's just uh it's a whirlwind of 286 00:10:59,670 --> 00:10:57,680 activity that is intensely exciting and 287 00:11:00,389 --> 00:10:59,680 of course time just flies by when that 288 00:11:02,069 --> 00:11:00,399 happens 289 00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:02,079 what's one thing that you'd love to see 290 00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:03,920 happen in space that hasn't happened in 291 00:11:17,269 --> 00:11:14,550 if you mean as a nation of would love to 292 00:11:19,269 --> 00:11:17,279 get back outside of low earth orbit uh 293 00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:19,279 as low earth orbit is an important place 294 00:11:23,509 --> 00:11:21,680 to be to learn how to how to do space 295 00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:23,519 flight so you can we can mature as a 296 00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:25,680 space faring nation but 297 00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:27,440 regardless of the destination whether 298 00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:29,920 it's mars an asteroid or the moon 299 00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:32,240 i think everybody's looking forward to 300 00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:34,560 to uh getting back beyond that and 301 00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:37,120 seeing those photos and hearing 302 00:11:42,230 --> 00:11:38,880 the voice of the person that looks back 303 00:11:43,590 --> 00:11:42,240 and sees the earth as a sphere as a ball 304 00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:43,600 again 305 00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:45,680 that's an incredibly meaningful moment 306 00:11:55,269 --> 00:11:53,750 have you seen anything unexpected or 307 00:11:56,710 --> 00:11:55,279 strange 308 00:11:59,430 --> 00:11:56,720 out there what's the weirdest thing 309 00:12:03,430 --> 00:11:59,440 that's ever you've ever seen up there 310 00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:05,430 oh yeah yeah no there's there's the 311 00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:07,440 outside the window strange things in the 312 00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:09,839 ins and inside the cabin 313 00:12:14,949 --> 00:12:12,000 the aurora australis and the rory 314 00:12:16,629 --> 00:12:14,959 borealis are the two things that 315 00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:16,639 that really takes your breath away the 316 00:12:21,350 --> 00:12:18,240 first time you see it it looks very 317 00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:21,360 alien uh just curtains of of this subtle 318 00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:23,600 faint green glow that that dance and 319 00:12:27,829 --> 00:12:25,440 move around as you 320 00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:27,839 come close to the poles in your orbit 321 00:12:31,990 --> 00:12:29,600 i saw a shooting star 322 00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:32,000 my first one actually and that was uh 323 00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:33,120 under me 324 00:12:36,069 --> 00:12:34,560 it's between you and the earth that you 325 00:12:37,110 --> 00:12:36,079 see it happen go through the atmosphere 326 00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:37,120 and usually you don't see anything 327 00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:38,880 moving except the slow motion of the 328 00:12:42,310 --> 00:12:41,200 earth going by so that that's striking 329 00:12:44,629 --> 00:12:42,320 to see that 330 00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:44,639 i think uh one of the strangest things 331 00:12:48,629 --> 00:12:46,399 it's a perception issue when you get up 332 00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:48,639 here uh your eyes aren't used to seeing 333 00:12:52,710 --> 00:12:51,200 the movements that you see here and when 334 00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:52,720 i first got up here a colleague a 335 00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:54,800 crewmate went flying by me and for a 336 00:12:59,590 --> 00:12:57,440 split second my brain said that's got to 337 00:13:01,350 --> 00:12:59,600 be a cat it's got to be a panther this 338 00:13:03,110 --> 00:13:01,360 big thing is just sliding by you like 339 00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:03,120 that and of course you see it you know 340 00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:05,120 what it is right away but the perception 341 00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:06,480 for a split second kind of makes your 342 00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:07,920 heart jump and you go what was that and 343 00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:10,480 you go oh it's just my crewmate 344 00:13:13,430 --> 00:13:11,760 so your perception gives you a lot of 345 00:13:15,110 --> 00:13:13,440 strange alien feelings when you're 346 00:13:17,990 --> 00:13:15,120 inside the cabin as well 347 00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:18,000 wow if so is there an up and down for 348 00:13:25,110 --> 00:13:18,720 you 349 00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:25,120 familiar with the equipment and the 350 00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:26,480 inside of the 351 00:13:34,069 --> 00:13:32,389 there are parts of the space station 352 00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:34,079 where there is no up and down you it's 353 00:13:38,069 --> 00:13:35,600 kind of like you're a hamster inside of 354 00:13:39,189 --> 00:13:38,079 a little tunnel but places like this you 355 00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:39,199 know it might look to you like there 356 00:13:42,710 --> 00:13:41,360 isn't up and down but i've got a the 357 00:13:45,910 --> 00:13:42,720 galley right behind me that's on the 358 00:13:47,910 --> 00:13:45,920 ceiling and the longer you spend up here 359 00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:47,920 the less you care 360 00:13:52,069 --> 00:13:49,839 what the name of the surface is they're 361 00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:52,079 all the same my feet might be on what we 362 00:13:55,829 --> 00:13:54,240 call the deck right now but it could be 363 00:13:57,829 --> 00:13:55,839 a ceiling it could be a 364 00:13:59,750 --> 00:13:57,839 wall it could be anything 365 00:14:01,350 --> 00:13:59,760 really and as you adapt you get used to 366 00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:01,360 that and you can just spin around and 367 00:14:15,990 --> 00:14:04,160 and orient yourself very easily so it's 368 00:14:19,189 --> 00:14:17,829 actually i'm not upside down the camera 369 00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:19,199 is upside down now the camera is 370 00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:21,360 attached to the ceiling okay all right 371 00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:22,639 i'm on the floor 372 00:14:26,389 --> 00:14:24,240 so as you get adapted you find that out 373 00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:26,399 right away 374 00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:28,639 uh there's a question have you ever 375 00:14:38,870 --> 00:14:30,880 danced in space and will you show us 376 00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:41,670 okay the answer to the first one is no i 377 00:14:46,389 --> 00:14:44,800 have not danced in space and therefore i 378 00:14:47,829 --> 00:14:46,399 can't show you any dance that i would do 379 00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:47,839 but there are certain things you can do 380 00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:49,199 in space 381 00:14:52,949 --> 00:14:50,000 that 382 00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:52,959 dancers cannot do on the ground 383 00:14:55,750 --> 00:14:54,480 it's not fair because i don't have to 384 00:15:06,949 --> 00:14:55,760 deal with gravity but it's something 385 00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:09,110 and being scientists we 386 00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:11,040 we love the demonstrations of angular 387 00:15:15,990 --> 00:15:13,680 momentum as well so 388 00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:16,000 that's always fun to do that's great 389 00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:17,040 wonderful 390 00:15:21,990 --> 00:15:19,440 uh do you often hit your head in 391 00:15:26,230 --> 00:15:22,000 space that's a question from uh 392 00:15:30,310 --> 00:15:27,990 that is a great question and the answer 393 00:15:32,230 --> 00:15:30,320 is yes unfortunately especially when you 394 00:15:34,550 --> 00:15:32,240 first get here and then it's probably 395 00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:34,560 like a skier or a toddler learning to 396 00:15:37,829 --> 00:15:36,480 walk uh the more confidence you get the 397 00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:37,839 faster you go and then you have to learn 398 00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:40,160 your lessons all over again 399 00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:41,680 so i don't i don't whack my head on 400 00:15:45,189 --> 00:15:43,600 hatches anymore but 401 00:15:46,629 --> 00:15:45,199 you know you get busy you lift your head 402 00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:46,639 up and you might hit a laptop you see 403 00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:49,040 things all around us so yeah your head 404 00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:50,800 gets used to getting bumped quite a bit 405 00:15:55,030 --> 00:15:52,480 and the the more experience you get the 406 00:15:57,829 --> 00:15:55,040 more you learn to look behind you before 407 00:15:59,829 --> 00:15:57,839 you start to move around too much 408 00:16:01,749 --> 00:15:59,839 um 409 00:16:03,430 --> 00:16:01,759 we have one minute left so just a couple 410 00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:03,440 more quick questions 411 00:16:07,269 --> 00:16:05,600 being up in space does it make you think 412 00:16:08,710 --> 00:16:07,279 about 413 00:16:12,949 --> 00:16:08,720 humanity 414 00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:15,509 absolutely because the world is so 415 00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:17,360 beautiful from what we see but we don't 416 00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:19,120 see 417 00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:21,440 the activity of the humans down there we 418 00:16:25,749 --> 00:16:23,519 read about it and 419 00:16:27,990 --> 00:16:25,759 it's all astronauts say this you see the 420 00:16:28,870 --> 00:16:28,000 earth there's no borders 421 00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:28,880 there 422 00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:31,040 the atmosphere is only just about an 423 00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:33,040 inch thick if you hold your hand out and 424 00:16:37,189 --> 00:16:34,880 do your fingers like that so it's the 425 00:16:39,269 --> 00:16:37,199 earth is an incredibly fragile precious 426 00:16:41,509 --> 00:16:39,279 place where the humans live 427 00:16:43,430 --> 00:16:41,519 and uh so it's it 428 00:16:46,710 --> 00:16:43,440 gives you a lot of love for not only the 429 00:16:49,430 --> 00:16:46,720 planet but for the humans on it and uh 430 00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:49,440 you wish sometimes i wish we could 431 00:16:53,670 --> 00:16:51,360 behave better sometimes down there but 432 00:16:55,189 --> 00:16:53,680 ultimately it gives you a lot of 433 00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:55,199 a thrill and a lot of confidence in the 434 00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:56,959 future of the human race 435 00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:59,199 well our band is called 30 seconds to 436 00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:01,440 mars and someone wants to know if we'll 437 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:10,390 oh i think it's there's no question at 438 00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:12,240 all the question is when 439 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:13,679 mars is 440 00:17:17,510 --> 00:17:15,280 kind of a sister or a brother to the 441 00:17:18,390 --> 00:17:17,520 planet earth along with venus a lot to 442 00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:18,400 learn there 443 00:17:22,710 --> 00:17:20,480 and that seems to be a logical place for 444 00:17:24,549 --> 00:17:22,720 humans to go someday so i think there's 445 00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:24,559 no question we will be 446 00:17:27,990 --> 00:17:26,160 well maybe you
