1
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:02,880
station this is Houston are you ready

2
00:00:13,369 --> 00:00:09,920
Houston International Space Station yes

3
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:13,379
ready for the event delvis world of

4
00:00:19,090 --> 00:00:14,910
science this is Mission Control Houston

5
00:00:22,730 --> 00:00:21,080
station this is Frank Lawrence from the

6
00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:22,740
Telus world of science Evanson how do

7
00:00:31,010 --> 00:00:29,510
Frank and the Telus world of science and

8
00:00:32,510 --> 00:00:31,020
everybody in Edmonton hello this is

9
00:00:36,980 --> 00:00:32,520
Chris Hadfield on the International

10
00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:39,200
Chris I tell you we got a bunch of

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:40,350
people here really excited about

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:41,850
speaking with you today and a whole

13
00:00:45,290 --> 00:00:43,530
group of students ready to ask you their

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:45,300
most fundamental questions about you and

15
00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:46,530
what you've done for Canada we're all

16
00:00:50,390 --> 00:00:48,750
just very happy and proud of you and

17
00:00:51,950 --> 00:00:50,400
Canada and the green space agency I

18
00:00:53,060 --> 00:00:51,960
think without me talking any further

19
00:00:54,260 --> 00:00:53,070
we're gonna actually have our students

20
00:00:56,540 --> 00:00:54,270
come up here and actually speak to you

21
00:01:06,050 --> 00:00:56,550
and ask you some of their very profound

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:06,060
questions hi I'm Megan I'm in grade 9

23
00:01:10,790 --> 00:01:09,210
how is your life onboard the space

24
00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:10,800
station being different from your life

25
00:01:22,890 --> 00:01:21,240
Megan it's um it's similar I life is

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:22,900
busy I'm sure it's busy for you it's

27
00:01:27,750 --> 00:01:25,570
very busy as an astronaut but there are

28
00:01:30,330 --> 00:01:27,760
a couple of big differences here here

29
00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:30,340
it's it's not only busy but it's magic

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:33,100
because I can just do this if I feel

31
00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:35,890
like it and I can stand on the wall and

32
00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:40,270
so so you suddenly can do things that

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:42,310
just are impossible on earth and that

34
00:01:47,010 --> 00:01:45,130
layer of magic makes life very different

35
00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:47,020
the way you move and the way you even

36
00:01:50,370 --> 00:01:48,430
think about moving and then the other

37
00:01:52,490 --> 00:01:50,380
thing that's different is right now

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:52,500
we're in the darkness but what you can

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:54,850
see when you float over to the window

40
00:01:59,700 --> 00:01:57,130
Megan it's I mean you could just glanced

41
00:02:02,100 --> 00:01:59,710
out the window and see all of Europe or

42
00:02:04,770 --> 00:02:02,110
when you're over top of Edmonton you can

43
00:02:07,490 --> 00:02:04,780
see all the way to to southern Ontario

44
00:02:09,930 --> 00:02:07,500
and all the way to the Pacific Ocean and

45
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:09,940
you get to see the whole world and start

46
00:02:13,230 --> 00:02:11,890
thinking of it because we go around it

47
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:13,240
in 90 minutes you think of it as one

48
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:15,970
place so it's a busy life which is like

49
00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:18,370
being on earth but it's then there's

50
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:21,280
this added layer of magic and and

51
00:02:26,670 --> 00:02:23,290
wonderful beauty out the window so it

52
00:02:31,930 --> 00:02:26,680
it's it's like life only magnified and

53
00:02:37,790 --> 00:02:34,970
my name is Anne Germaine and I am in

54
00:02:39,650 --> 00:02:37,800
grade 9 did being in the Royal Canadian

55
00:02:45,230 --> 00:02:39,660
Air Force effect you're becoming an

56
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:50,380
I am yes it did of course astronauts

57
00:02:54,890 --> 00:02:52,110
generally need to have three things

58
00:02:56,780 --> 00:02:54,900
number one you need to be fit and be

59
00:02:59,390 --> 00:02:56,790
able to pass a really hard physical exam

60
00:03:01,220 --> 00:02:59,400
number two you need to have an advanced

61
00:03:03,710 --> 00:03:01,230
education to prove that you can learn

62
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:03,720
complicated things and number three you

63
00:03:09,860 --> 00:03:05,730
have to proven that you can make good

64
00:03:11,330 --> 00:03:09,870
decisions when it matters and so the

65
00:03:13,580 --> 00:03:11,340
Canadian astronauts have come from all

66
00:03:17,510 --> 00:03:13,590
different backgrounds medical doctors

67
00:03:20,060 --> 00:03:17,520
engineers physicists but I chose to be

68
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:20,070
an engineer pilot and a military pilot

69
00:03:24,140 --> 00:03:22,050
and it really helped me in all three

70
00:03:26,780 --> 00:03:24,150
I've not gotten fat I've kept my body

71
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:26,790
okay all through life I went to

72
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:28,170
university three different universities

73
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:30,450
to get an undergraduate and graduate

74
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:32,250
degrees and the Canadian Air Force

75
00:03:37,340 --> 00:03:35,010
helped me with all of those financially

76
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:37,350
and giving me the time to study and then

77
00:03:42,110 --> 00:03:40,110
making good decisions when consequences

78
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:42,120
matter you know in order to command a

79
00:03:45,970 --> 00:03:44,130
spaceship you want someone who's proven

80
00:03:48,890 --> 00:03:45,980
their ability to do that and so

81
00:03:51,170 --> 00:03:48,900
operating complicated machinery my

82
00:03:54,050 --> 00:03:51,180
country trusting me to defend them as

83
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:54,060
necessary and being a test pilot I think

84
00:03:57,620 --> 00:03:56,010
really helped get me there there's lots

85
00:03:59,320 --> 00:03:57,630
of different ways to achieve your dreams

86
00:04:02,240 --> 00:03:59,330
but the particular path that I chose

87
00:04:06,580 --> 00:04:02,250
worked for me and it's one that's open

88
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:09,770
hello my name is Ayla I'm in grade 9 and

89
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:11,910
my question for you is do astronauts

90
00:04:21,140 --> 00:04:20,569
hallo and we first get to space we feel

91
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:21,150
sick

92
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:24,000
your body's really confused and so you

93
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:26,610
know you're dizzy your lunch is floating

94
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:28,080
around in your belly cuz you're floating

95
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:31,530
and and you're what you see doesn't

96
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:34,080
match what you feel so you want to throw

97
00:04:38,180 --> 00:04:35,850
up so how do you throw up if you get

98
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:38,190
sick in space who the sun's starting to

99
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:42,090
come up so here's an astronaut barf bag

100
00:04:45,710 --> 00:04:44,250
right here so let's say you're about to

101
00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:45,720
throw up in space quick you get your

102
00:04:54,020 --> 00:04:50,639
barf bag open and now think about what

103
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:54,030
happens on earth when you throw up now

104
00:04:58,730 --> 00:04:56,850
that'll be okay you you throw up and you

105
00:05:01,280 --> 00:04:58,740
have a bag of something horrible and

106
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:01,290
then you throw it away but in space if I

107
00:05:05,690 --> 00:05:03,090
throw up in this bag what am I gonna do

108
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:05,700
with it this bag has to stay with me in

109
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:07,530
space for months so we want a really

110
00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:10,800
good barf bag so we have one that that

111
00:05:17,719 --> 00:05:13,889
will really protect us and this one has

112
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:17,729
a has a liner in it so that when you

113
00:05:24,529 --> 00:05:20,160
throw up into it so that when you throw

114
00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:24,539
up into it you can clean your face off

115
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:26,910
and then you can push everything inside

116
00:05:31,070 --> 00:05:28,770
and then it comes with its own ziplock

117
00:05:32,330 --> 00:05:31,080
to clean put inside the Ziploc and then

118
00:05:34,430 --> 00:05:32,340
you can throw it down into the wet trash

119
00:05:39,230 --> 00:05:34,440
so yes astronauts do occasionally get

120
00:05:40,730 --> 00:05:39,240
sick in space but we have special barf

121
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:40,740
bags to deal with it I'm just going to

122
00:05:46,260 --> 00:05:41,970
close the shutter cuz it gets a little

123
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:49,420
hi I'm Ashley and I'm in grade 9 and my

124
00:05:57,070 --> 00:05:51,410
question is how does being in space for

125
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,700
you

126
00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:03,710
it affects us a lot of different ways it

127
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:06,670
it affects your bones your muscles but

128
00:06:09,540 --> 00:06:07,510
one of the ways that we're learning

129
00:06:11,010 --> 00:06:09,550
recently is it affects your vision we

130
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:11,020
don't understand why but it makes some

131
00:06:14,610 --> 00:06:12,880
people's vision worse and we're studying

132
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:14,620
it and trying to figure it out so we

133
00:06:18,990 --> 00:06:16,090
have a lot of new equipment on board

134
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:19,000
just to test and understand our vision

135
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:21,850
one of the things we have is a Taunton

136
00:06:28,110 --> 00:06:26,050
ometer this this is actually like a

137
00:06:28,650 --> 00:06:28,120
pressure gauge that you touch to your

138
00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:28,660
eyeball

139
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:30,670
we put drops just it's weird to put

140
00:06:34,260 --> 00:06:32,410
drops in your eyes with no gravity you

141
00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:34,270
sort of touch the little drop thing to

142
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:35,440
your eyeball it spreads over your eye

143
00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:37,330
and then one of the other astronauts

144
00:06:42,450 --> 00:06:39,430
will just tap the center of my eyeball

145
00:06:44,730 --> 00:06:42,460
really carefully about ten times and

146
00:06:46,110 --> 00:06:44,740
this lovely little chin ometer will

147
00:06:47,790 --> 00:06:46,120
figure out the pressure inside my

148
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:47,800
eyeball that's one way to measure our

149
00:06:52,770 --> 00:06:50,650
eyes another is to look into the back of

150
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:52,780
them and so we put those drops in your

151
00:06:56,670 --> 00:06:54,730
eyes that dilate your eye and then I

152
00:06:59,520 --> 00:06:56,680
actually put this up against my eye and

153
00:07:01,320 --> 00:06:59,530
plug this into a computer and then I can

154
00:07:03,210 --> 00:07:01,330
look into the back of my eyeball and

155
00:07:05,190 --> 00:07:03,220
there are expert doctors on the ground

156
00:07:06,630 --> 00:07:05,200
who are looking at my eyeball while I'm

157
00:07:09,780 --> 00:07:06,640
doing it and we could take photographs

158
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:09,790
and videos of the optic nerve and or at

159
00:07:13,950 --> 00:07:11,290
least where it comes into my eyeball and

160
00:07:15,660 --> 00:07:13,960
the veins and then the the stuff that's

161
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:15,670
inside my eye so we can do it that way

162
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:19,750
and then also we actually do ultrasounds

163
00:07:24,660 --> 00:07:22,720
of our eyeballs and that's in order to

164
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:24,670
see how our eyeballs are changing what's

165
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:27,250
going on with the optic nerves and so we

166
00:07:31,170 --> 00:07:29,050
have a full ultrasound machine on board

167
00:07:33,450 --> 00:07:31,180
but we don't need gel you just put a

168
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:33,460
ball of water in your eye and then you

169
00:07:37,530 --> 00:07:35,890
touch the ultrasound to your eyeball or

170
00:07:40,050 --> 00:07:37,540
just to the water above your eyeball and

171
00:07:42,690 --> 00:07:40,060
move it back and forth and with that we

172
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:42,700
can see our whole optic nerve we could

173
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:44,890
see the the lens and the cornea and

174
00:07:48,570 --> 00:07:46,960
everything in beautiful resolution it's

175
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:48,580
something we've just started doing and

176
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:49,870
we have experts on the ground who are

177
00:07:53,850 --> 00:07:51,730
helping us do it but with all of these

178
00:07:56,220 --> 00:07:53,860
things we're trying to figure out how

179
00:07:58,530 --> 00:07:56,230
the human body works and what controls

180
00:08:00,060 --> 00:07:58,540
vision and how it changes when you take

181
00:08:02,010 --> 00:08:00,070
away something as simple as gravity

182
00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:02,020
we're learning more about eyeballs but

183
00:08:05,490 --> 00:08:03,190
we're also learning more about how to

184
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:05,500
stay in space permanently so if you go

185
00:08:12,580 --> 00:08:07,930
to Mars you won't show up there with

186
00:08:19,309 --> 00:08:16,399
hi Josh great Tim are there any items

187
00:08:22,129 --> 00:08:19,319
you are using currently using on this

188
00:08:27,770 --> 00:08:22,139
ISS that you think might become added to

189
00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:30,379
oh yes I mean the Space Station is a

190
00:08:35,060 --> 00:08:32,729
laboratory with a hundred more than a

191
00:08:36,969 --> 00:08:35,070
hundred experiments running Chris

192
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:36,979
Cassidy's running experiments right now

193
00:08:42,260 --> 00:08:40,169
of how solids burns we can better

194
00:08:44,330 --> 00:08:42,270
understand extinguishing and the actual

195
00:08:46,580 --> 00:08:44,340
process of flame itself when you take

196
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:46,590
away convection there's a Canadian

197
00:08:50,110 --> 00:08:48,090
experiment running right down here right

198
00:08:53,330 --> 00:08:50,120
now that that is looking at

199
00:08:54,860 --> 00:08:53,340
nanoparticles and how they form and meld

200
00:08:58,340 --> 00:08:54,870
together when you take away gravity so

201
00:09:01,540 --> 00:08:58,350
we understand fundamental tiny particle

202
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:01,550
processes but I think one of the coolest

203
00:09:08,380 --> 00:09:05,130
is this one here which is called micro

204
00:09:11,810 --> 00:09:08,390
flow which is a Canadian invention that

205
00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:11,820
is like a blood analysis machine in a

206
00:09:15,980 --> 00:09:14,520
little tiny box and the right now you

207
00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:15,990
have to go to a hospital to get a full

208
00:09:21,110 --> 00:09:18,510
blood work done but this which just came

209
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:21,120
up a month or so ago can take blood

210
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:23,130
samples and analyze them using laser

211
00:09:29,510 --> 00:09:26,130
light and within just a few minutes give

212
00:09:31,490 --> 00:09:29,520
me a sense of what what the what the

213
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:31,500
health of my blood is you could also use

214
00:09:35,930 --> 00:09:34,170
it for analyzing other liquids and so

215
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:35,940
think about what all this could do all

216
00:09:39,650 --> 00:09:37,890
across Canada we're in a remote

217
00:09:41,210 --> 00:09:39,660
community you don't have to fly someone

218
00:09:42,740 --> 00:09:41,220
to the hospital or you don't have to

219
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:42,750
have a big hospital staff in a small

220
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:45,330
small town but in fact this type of

221
00:09:48,620 --> 00:09:47,010
machine could help people analyze their

222
00:09:50,270 --> 00:09:48,630
blood right close to where they are so

223
00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:50,280
there's all kinds of stuff going on

224
00:09:56,290 --> 00:09:52,800
board and Canadian inventions are right

225
00:10:00,530 --> 00:09:59,240
hi my name is Antonio Brennan how was

226
00:10:02,060 --> 00:10:00,540
work with all the other astronauts

227
00:10:08,829 --> 00:10:02,070
aboard a space station like does

228
00:10:13,910 --> 00:10:11,750
thanks for the question we we try not to

229
00:10:16,820 --> 00:10:13,920
have language posed a problem and the

230
00:10:18,860 --> 00:10:16,830
way we deal with it is by studying for

231
00:10:21,410 --> 00:10:18,870
years beforehand when I got hired as an

232
00:10:22,610 --> 00:10:21,420
astronaut I hardly knew any russian at

233
00:10:26,060 --> 00:10:22,620
all I do like duh

234
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:26,070
nyet and Sputnik but and Soviet you know

235
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:29,970
I didn't know any Russian words but we

236
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:31,680
started cooperating with them in just

237
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:33,570
three years after I was chosen as an

238
00:10:38,210 --> 00:10:35,550
astronaut I went to help build the

239
00:10:40,430 --> 00:10:38,220
Russian space station so for the last 20

240
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:40,440
years I've been learning Russian and for

241
00:10:45,380 --> 00:10:43,710
me languages I mean the more languages

242
00:10:46,850 --> 00:10:45,390
you learn to speak the more people you

243
00:10:49,130 --> 00:10:46,860
can communicate with and try to

244
00:10:52,220 --> 00:10:49,140
understand so we focus on each other's

245
00:10:56,300 --> 00:10:52,230
languages and on board we have French

246
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:56,310
language a little bit of Chinese a

247
00:11:00,829 --> 00:10:57,930
little bit of Spanish English and

248
00:11:03,019 --> 00:11:00,839
Russian right now and mostly we just

249
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:03,029
work in English and Russian then I speak

250
00:11:07,370 --> 00:11:05,310
passable Russian the Russians speak

251
00:11:09,740 --> 00:11:07,380
passable English and it works out fine

252
00:11:11,510 --> 00:11:09,750
but it's like anywhere even if you speak

253
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:11,520
the same language sometimes it's hard to

254
00:11:15,230 --> 00:11:13,650
communicate the important part is to try

255
00:11:17,329 --> 00:11:15,240
and really listen to what the other

256
00:11:18,829 --> 00:11:17,339
person is saying and and really pay

257
00:11:22,330 --> 00:11:18,839
attention and make sure that you're

258
00:11:27,340 --> 00:11:25,240
hey I'm Sonia and my question is when

259
00:11:29,769 --> 00:11:27,350
you're in this pretty suit and you have

260
00:11:31,090 --> 00:11:29,779
it and you're outside of the station can

261
00:11:35,140 --> 00:11:31,100
you feel the Sun where I mean you're

262
00:11:40,210 --> 00:11:38,170
well you sure can yeah it's a hundred

263
00:11:43,810 --> 00:11:40,220
and fifty degrees Celsius out there a

264
00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:43,820
hundred and fifty C in the Sun so it you

265
00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:46,310
know it's that's 50% hotter than boiling

266
00:11:51,579 --> 00:11:48,800
water so when the Sun comes on you it's

267
00:11:53,019 --> 00:11:51,589
like the worst day where you walk out in

268
00:11:55,150 --> 00:11:53,029
the Summer Sun and it's right on your

269
00:11:57,730 --> 00:11:55,160
bare skin it is really hot your suit

270
00:12:00,760 --> 00:11:57,740
gets hot we actively cool the suit we

271
00:12:03,070 --> 00:12:00,770
pumped cool water and we have special

272
00:12:05,650 --> 00:12:03,080
clothing like like a liquid-cooled long

273
00:12:06,730 --> 00:12:05,660
underwear to cool us up there because

274
00:12:10,150 --> 00:12:06,740
otherwise you couldn't take the heat

275
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:10,160
it's it's a wickedly hot Sun and and

276
00:12:15,250 --> 00:12:12,910
there's no air to to blend it it's just

277
00:12:20,699 --> 00:12:15,260
blaring glaring right on top of you

278
00:12:25,509 --> 00:12:23,920
hi I'd say in grade 9 what kind of games

279
00:12:31,319 --> 00:12:25,519
or activities are most common among the

280
00:12:36,430 --> 00:12:35,139
you know we work a lot and when we don't

281
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:36,440
have work to do

282
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:37,910
a lot of the time we just go to the

283
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:40,610
window because the world the world is

284
00:12:44,050 --> 00:12:42,290
more beautiful than you can imagine more

285
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:44,060
beautiful than I can imagine I'm looking

286
00:12:49,449 --> 00:12:47,170
at it all the time it's constantly being

287
00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:49,459
revealed to you and they'll they'll

288
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:51,200
angle with the light and the weather and

289
00:12:55,900 --> 00:12:53,450
everything changes so it's different

290
00:12:56,530 --> 00:12:55,910
every time so that's one of the things

291
00:12:57,970 --> 00:12:56,540
we do

292
00:12:59,949 --> 00:12:57,980
we're playing Scrabble we have a

293
00:13:02,730 --> 00:12:59,959
Scrabble game going up on the roof or

294
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:02,740
the ceiling of of one of the modules and

295
00:13:08,050 --> 00:13:05,570
a lot of people are musicians as well

296
00:13:09,970 --> 00:13:08,060
and Tom and I both are musicians and

297
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:09,980
Pavel Vinogradov in the Russian segment

298
00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:13,010
so we have a guitar and a ukulele and a

299
00:13:18,370 --> 00:13:15,769
keyboard on board and so a lot of the

300
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:18,380
time in our spare time we we play music

301
00:13:22,449 --> 00:13:20,810
so there's no shortage of things to do

302
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:22,459
and when you have the world at your

303
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:25,850
window it's it cheese it's even hard to

304
00:13:34,570 --> 00:13:32,920
hi I'm Megan some grade 8 and I was

305
00:13:39,490 --> 00:13:34,580
wondering what do stars look like from

306
00:13:45,350 --> 00:13:43,190
Megan may look a lot like they do from

307
00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:45,360
Earth except there's no air no

308
00:13:49,970 --> 00:13:48,240
atmosphere no particles of water

309
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:49,980
droplets or anything in the way so

310
00:13:54,740 --> 00:13:52,410
they're crystal-clear they're hard to

311
00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:54,750
see because we're inside with the lights

312
00:13:59,690 --> 00:13:57,570
on so in order to see the stars because

313
00:14:01,519 --> 00:13:59,700
it never gets night inside so you have

314
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:01,529
to shut all the lights off and let your

315
00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:03,570
eyes adjust big so you can see them but

316
00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:06,000
when you do it's like if you go out way

317
00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:07,680
outside of Edmonds and way way out and

318
00:14:14,269 --> 00:14:10,079
dark maybe maybe north up towards I

319
00:14:16,130 --> 00:14:14,279
don't know up towards Fort McMurray or

320
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:16,140
somewhere or halfway up there or Grand

321
00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:17,700
Prairie and get way out where it's dark

322
00:14:21,860 --> 00:14:19,920
and then let your eyes totally adjust on

323
00:14:23,690 --> 00:14:21,870
a beautiful crystal clear cold night and

324
00:14:26,269 --> 00:14:23,700
that's sort of what it's like where the

325
00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:26,279
Milky Way looks milky and where the

326
00:14:32,180 --> 00:14:30,110
stars are so pure and they don't twinkle

327
00:14:33,889 --> 00:14:32,190
because there's no air making them

328
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:33,899
oscillate in twinkle so they're like

329
00:14:39,630 --> 00:14:36,510
tiny perfect points of light it's

330
00:14:45,790 --> 00:14:44,290
hi i'm charlie in grade 9 and i was

331
00:14:51,699 --> 00:14:45,800
wondering with the biggest goal you're

332
00:14:59,660 --> 00:14:56,559
Eliot's to increase human understanding

333
00:15:03,590 --> 00:14:59,670
and also human opportunity those two

334
00:15:05,420 --> 00:15:03,600
things you know we can only live the

335
00:15:07,369 --> 00:15:05,430
lives we live because of the inventions

336
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:07,379
and the understanding that our parents

337
00:15:11,119 --> 00:15:08,610
and our grandparents and the people

338
00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:11,129
before them figured out so to be able to

339
00:15:15,860 --> 00:15:13,649
push back human capability and knowledge

340
00:15:17,239 --> 00:15:15,870
that's one of the main goals the other

341
00:15:21,019 --> 00:15:17,249
is to let other people have this

342
00:15:22,999 --> 00:15:21,029
opportunity when I was eight or nine

343
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:23,009
years old it was impossible for a

344
00:15:27,290 --> 00:15:25,110
Canadian to fly in space and there was

345
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:27,300
no space agency no program and it wasn't

346
00:15:31,819 --> 00:15:29,370
until I was in university before the

347
00:15:34,549 --> 00:15:31,829
first Canadian flew in space now a

348
00:15:36,499 --> 00:15:34,559
Canadiens commanding a space ship so

349
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:36,509
that process of making things more

350
00:15:41,890 --> 00:15:38,610
possible for Canadians that's one of my

351
00:15:47,570 --> 00:15:45,170
hi I am Rebecca from grade 9 and I was

352
00:15:53,530 --> 00:15:47,580
wondering what you miss most about Earth

353
00:16:01,300 --> 00:15:56,830
well Rebecca I guess I missed the close

354
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:01,310
human contact you know you I don't have

355
00:16:05,650 --> 00:16:02,930
family here to give a hug to and and

356
00:16:07,540 --> 00:16:05,660
such you don't see you kind of it's a

357
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:07,550
little bit isolated but the other thing

358
00:16:11,140 --> 00:16:09,410
I really miss is a hot shower you know

359
00:16:12,580 --> 00:16:11,150
up here you can't have a shower of

360
00:16:13,750 --> 00:16:12,590
course the water wouldn't have anywhere

361
00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:13,760
to go and we don't have that much water

362
00:16:19,150 --> 00:16:17,360
so we just take sponge baths and that

363
00:16:20,620 --> 00:16:19,160
being able to stand under a hot shower

364
00:16:24,310 --> 00:16:20,630
and have it beat on your body that's

365
00:16:31,190 --> 00:16:24,320
that's a nice visceral feeling so I miss

366
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:34,380
I'm hi my name is Connor and I'm in

367
00:16:40,770 --> 00:16:36,370
grade 9 and my question is how do you

368
00:16:46,750 --> 00:16:43,660
Connor we have to choose what time of

369
00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:46,760
day so we choose English time like

370
00:16:50,530 --> 00:16:48,320
Greenwich Time in London England and

371
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:50,540
then when it because we had to choose

372
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:51,770
some time and that's halfway between

373
00:16:58,840 --> 00:16:55,730
Moscow and and Houston where our mission

374
00:17:00,610 --> 00:16:58,850
main mission controls are so so we kind

375
00:17:02,380 --> 00:17:00,620
of split the difference but when it's

376
00:17:07,030 --> 00:17:02,390
time to go to sleep you get your

377
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:07,040
sleeping bag here's mine and you can see

378
00:17:11,050 --> 00:17:09,770
it has strings hanging from it so I'm

379
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:11,060
just going to show you what it's like to

380
00:17:14,679 --> 00:17:12,650
climb into a sleeping bag in

381
00:17:17,350 --> 00:17:14,689
weightlessness and then I'll talk to you

382
00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:17,360
again maybe I'll be able to yell at you

383
00:17:26,470 --> 00:17:23,839
while I'm talking so you uh you just get

384
00:17:32,660 --> 00:17:26,480
yourself nice and stable and you float

385
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:35,270
zip it up put your arms through the

386
00:17:40,940 --> 00:17:39,450
armholes so that you don't get

387
00:17:44,690 --> 00:17:40,950
completely hampered when you're inside

388
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:44,700
and then you just tie it on those four

389
00:17:47,570 --> 00:17:46,170
little strings on the back to the wall

390
00:17:50,450 --> 00:17:47,580
and then when you want to go to sleep

391
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:50,460
you just relax and you can relax

392
00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:53,450
you can relax every muscle in your body

393
00:17:59,240 --> 00:17:56,400
your head tips forward your arms float

394
00:18:02,710 --> 00:17:59,250
up and your legs float up and you can

395
00:18:05,690 --> 00:18:02,720
just drift off beautifully to sleep you

396
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:05,700
you don't have to roll over and then you

397
00:18:09,890 --> 00:18:07,650
don't get a hot spot you know on your

398
00:18:10,970 --> 00:18:09,900
shoulder and and you don't need a pillow

399
00:18:14,570 --> 00:18:10,980
because you don't have to hold your head

400
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:14,580
up so sleeping in space is beautifully

401
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:17,250
relaxing with every muscle completely

402
00:18:21,980 --> 00:18:18,510
relaxed until you wake up the next

403
00:18:23,450 --> 00:18:21,990
morning all you need to do is just tie

404
00:18:29,690 --> 00:18:23,460
yourself to the wall so you don't float

405
00:18:31,850 --> 00:18:29,700
away and bump into something hi I'm Cole

406
00:18:38,299 --> 00:18:31,860
from grade 9 what were or are your

407
00:18:40,370 --> 00:18:38,309
greatest fears about being in space my

408
00:18:44,030 --> 00:18:40,380
greatest fear is not knowing what I'm

409
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:44,040
doing one because you know I should know

410
00:18:47,330 --> 00:18:45,510
what I'm doing especially if they trust

411
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:47,340
me to command the spaceship but number

412
00:18:51,350 --> 00:18:48,450
two is because if I don't know what I'm

413
00:18:53,090 --> 00:18:51,360
doing it might kill me or kill other

414
00:18:54,620 --> 00:18:53,100
people I mean there are places in the

415
00:18:58,220 --> 00:18:54,630
spaceship where if you turn one valve

416
00:19:00,289 --> 00:18:58,230
the space station starts losing its

417
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:00,299
pressure out to space so you want to

418
00:19:06,590 --> 00:19:02,610
know how everything works so my biggest

419
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:06,600
fear is being incompetent and so that's

420
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:08,910
why I spent so long training and getting

421
00:19:13,310 --> 00:19:11,010
ready so that by the time I got here I

422
00:19:15,230 --> 00:19:13,320
would not only understand everything but

423
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:15,240
I would have the confidence about it

424
00:19:20,060 --> 00:19:17,730
like like writing an exam where you're

425
00:19:21,140 --> 00:19:20,070
sure that you know every answer because

426
00:19:23,419 --> 00:19:21,150
you've studied and put in the work

427
00:19:27,919 --> 00:19:23,429
beforehand and then you're not fearful

428
00:19:32,190 --> 00:19:30,419

429
00:19:34,020 --> 00:19:32,200
