00:01:50,069 --> 00:01:47,060
hi everybody thank you thank you John

36
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:50,079
it's really wonderful to be here we've

37
00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:52,880
the movie is opening today we've just

38
00:01:58,169 --> 00:01:56,329
sort of conducted a buzz over the course

39
00:02:00,129 --> 00:01:58,179
of the entire world

40
00:02:02,679 --> 00:02:00,139
internationally starting in Australia

41
00:02:05,289 --> 00:02:02,689
across Europe finally culminating here

42
00:02:07,209 --> 00:02:05,299
in Los Angeles by New York now finally

43
00:02:10,029 --> 00:02:07,219
the final frontier we get to actually

44
00:02:12,130 --> 00:02:10,039
leave the planet to tacoma near tour for

45
00:02:14,140 --> 00:02:12,140
the day though of the opens its its

46
00:02:16,119 --> 00:02:14,150
wildly exciting we're also happy to be

47
00:02:18,789 --> 00:02:16,129
here with great regret

48
00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:18,799
unfortunately JJ could not be here today

49
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:21,200
he is still out there selling the movie

50
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:21,730
I think

51
00:02:27,660 --> 00:02:24,610
saw him handing tickets out on Hollywood

52
00:02:31,649 --> 00:02:27,670
Boulevard but he has recorded a special

53
00:02:33,630 --> 00:02:31,659
message any question for Michael and

54
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:33,640
Chell that he desperately wanted

55
00:02:41,970 --> 00:02:35,440
answered so I believe that we have his

56
00:02:44,009 --> 00:02:41,980
question cued up to ask JJ Abrams hi

57
00:02:46,289 --> 00:02:44,019
it's a JJ Abrams I wish I could be there

58
00:02:49,860 --> 00:02:46,299
with you in person but of course I

59
00:02:52,979 --> 00:02:49,870
couldn't attend so I'm doing this very

60
00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:52,989
important question on video which is the

61
00:02:57,300 --> 00:02:53,440
following

62
00:02:59,220 --> 00:02:57,310
I talked to an astronaut once who told

63
00:03:01,500 --> 00:02:59,230
me that on one of his missions he

64
00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:01,510
actually did see something that was very

65
00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:03,840
strange that he couldn't explain it

66
00:03:08,099 --> 00:03:05,680
actually made him believe in

67
00:03:11,039 --> 00:03:08,109
extraterrestrial life and my question to

68
00:03:14,699 --> 00:03:11,049
you is have either of you ever seen

69
00:03:15,660 --> 00:03:14,709
anything that made you believe that or

70
00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:15,670
something that you couldn't explain

71
00:03:19,530 --> 00:03:18,190
couldn't understand that you didn't

72
00:03:22,069 --> 00:03:19,540
really necessarily report to the public

73
00:03:27,870 --> 00:03:22,079
but do you want to share with us now

74
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:27,880
Thanks that was a great question from JJ

75
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:29,650
and we get that question a lot we all

76
00:03:34,110 --> 00:03:31,120
want to know where we the only ones out

77
00:03:35,849 --> 00:03:34,120
there and Star Trek helps us imagine

78
00:03:37,379 --> 00:03:35,859
what it could be like if there were

79
00:03:41,699 --> 00:03:37,389
other creatures out there other people

80
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:41,709
other species so I spent a whole year up

81
00:03:46,559 --> 00:03:44,889
in space 381 days but it was only 240

82
00:03:49,409 --> 00:03:46,569
miles up so that's not very far in

83
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:49,419
cosmic terms so we think as we go

84
00:03:53,250 --> 00:03:51,910
farther out into the universe we might

85
00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:53,260
find something out there that we don't

86
00:03:58,050 --> 00:03:55,209
know about I've never seen anything

87
00:04:01,379 --> 00:03:58,060
maybe Chell will on his mission but I

88
00:04:02,729 --> 00:04:01,389
think that as we go farther out with the

89
00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:02,739
inspiration that we get from you guys

90
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:05,769
making these great feats of imagination

91
00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:07,329
and excitement the movies that you make

92
00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:09,519
inspire us to be our best as human

93
00:04:16,020 --> 00:04:13,840
beings on planet earth what a what a

94
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:16,030
fantastic answer yeah Mike can you

95
00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:18,130
confirm that you have not in fact been

96
00:04:28,530 --> 00:04:24,880
taken over by a little too polished

97
00:04:31,050 --> 00:04:28,540
but I've done this before and I'm a

98
00:04:34,350 --> 00:04:31,060
American human being who enjoys being

99
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:34,360
part of our space program and and we all

100
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:36,970
look up to you guys to inspire us honest

101
00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:38,710

102
00:04:49,050 --> 00:04:46,390

141
00:06:53,340 --> 00:06:51,010
30 minutes I was exercising this morning

142
00:06:55,170 --> 00:06:53,350
and I was riveted as you're racing

143
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:55,180
through the woods and jumping off cliffs

144
00:06:59,879 --> 00:06:57,370
I won't spoil the rest of the movie for

145
00:07:08,460 --> 00:06:59,889
anybody that hasn't seen it but pretty

146
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:08,470
cool scenes you know we have we have

147
00:07:16,830 --> 00:07:14,410
three devices a bicycle and a treadmill

148
00:07:18,570 --> 00:07:16,840
and then this big gigantic exercise

149
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:18,580
machine called a red advanced resistive

150
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:21,930
exercise device basically it's like a

151
00:07:25,950 --> 00:07:23,710
multi-function weight machine that we

152
00:07:27,450 --> 00:07:25,960
can put heavy loads on and do some

153
00:07:27,810 --> 00:07:27,460
squats and benchpress and that sort of

154
00:07:33,570 --> 00:07:27,820
thing

155
00:07:36,270 --> 00:07:33,580
and how long you up there for Chris I'm

156
00:07:38,610 --> 00:07:36,280
up here for first six months so that's a

157
00:07:41,310 --> 00:07:38,620
the duration that we do a Space Station

158
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:41,320
and it's really from Sawyer's the Soyuz

159
00:07:46,140 --> 00:07:43,210
drives that that's our vehicle to get up

160
00:07:47,850 --> 00:07:46,150
here and there's three seats in the

161
00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:47,860
Soyuz and there's six people in the

162
00:07:51,810 --> 00:07:49,840
station so that so you need to Soyuz and

163
00:07:53,629 --> 00:07:51,820
we rotate out every three months so my

164
00:07:56,010 --> 00:07:53,639
buddy's just left a couple days ago and

165
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:56,020
and my other buddies are about to launch

166
00:07:59,460 --> 00:07:58,330
here and a couple in a week or 10 two

167
00:08:03,330 --> 00:07:59,470
weeks oh yeah

168
00:08:06,149 --> 00:08:03,340
Chris please this is John Cho I play

169
00:08:07,170 --> 00:08:06,159
Sulu and just because I cannot believe

170
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:07,180
this is real

171
00:08:10,980 --> 00:08:09,250
would you mind taking your hands off the

172
00:08:31,740 --> 00:08:10,990
microphone putting them behind your head

173
00:08:34,410 --> 00:08:31,750
and saying look ma no hands you can't

174
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:34,420
drop the mic in space is what we just

175
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:38,110
learned here Chris one of the questions

176
00:08:44,940 --> 00:08:40,930
that I think a lot of us Earthlings yes

177
00:08:48,570 --> 00:08:44,950
come on man come on seriously how can

178
00:08:49,950 --> 00:08:48,580
you decide to stand one of one of the

179
00:08:51,690 --> 00:08:49,960
questions oh that's a good question

180
00:08:53,940 --> 00:08:51,700
actually yes will you ask that again

181
00:09:01,320 --> 00:08:53,950
please how can you just decide to stand

182
00:09:03,870 --> 00:09:01,330
again well you mean stand here and

183
00:09:05,310 --> 00:09:03,880
orient myself this way as opposed to any

184
00:09:09,660 --> 00:09:05,320
other crazy direction that I want to be

185
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:09,670
well it's a I think yeah I think part of

186
00:09:14,490 --> 00:09:11,890
it is because we spend it's a little bit

187
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:14,500
of muscle memory we spend a lot of time

188
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:16,530
and in Houston and places on earth

189
00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:18,850
training in these very modules and

190
00:09:23,940 --> 00:09:21,310
they're labeled with deck and overhead

191
00:09:27,420 --> 00:09:23,950
and port and starboard which is nautical

192
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:27,430
for left and right and so we tend to

193
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:29,170
orient ourselves in that direction but

194
00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:30,910
once you're up been up here for a couple

195
00:09:35,070 --> 00:09:32,800
weeks it really doesn't matter and I'm

196
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:35,080
at that point now I can just go into any

197
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:38,890
module in any orientation and and and

198
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:41,050
find stuff now it's be a little

199
00:09:44,820 --> 00:09:42,970
disorienting for you if I was constantly

200
00:09:46,770 --> 00:09:44,830
upside down or twirling around so that's

201
00:09:52,140 --> 00:09:46,780
why I'm positioning my stuff so it looks

202
00:09:54,270 --> 00:09:52,150
normal for you as we talk so so Chris I

203
00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:54,280
think one of the one of the things that

204
00:09:59,870 --> 00:09:56,080
were fairly obsessed with down here on

205
00:10:03,180 --> 00:09:59,880
earth is is what you did outside the ISS

206
00:10:04,950 --> 00:10:03,190
this past week apparently well it was

207
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:04,960
big news down here there was an ammonia

208
00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:07,810
leak can you just talk up in layman's

209
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:09,070
terms because we're idiots

210
00:10:17,610 --> 00:10:12,490
a what what you did what happened up

211
00:10:22,180 --> 00:10:19,900
layman's terms is how I speak because

212
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:22,190
I'm a fellow idiot so that's the kind of

213
00:10:28,660 --> 00:10:26,510
talk I need to speak in and and so it

214
00:10:31,180 --> 00:10:28,670
all happened very fairly quickly driven

215
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:31,190
by the fact that the Soyuz was undocking

216
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:33,770
on Monday and you need two people to go

217
00:10:37,420 --> 00:10:35,570
out and do a spacewalk in a couple days

218
00:10:41,230 --> 00:10:37,430
Breyer I think it was Wednesday night

219
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:41,240
perhaps or maybe even Thursday I forget

220
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:43,370
the days it all blurs together but Pavel

221
00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:44,690
Vinogradov one of the Russians his

222
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:46,880
sleeping quarters looks out the window

223
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:49,010
his window looks right to this

224
00:10:53,530 --> 00:10:50,570
particular area and he happened to

225
00:10:55,390 --> 00:10:53,540
notice some unusual small small small

226
00:10:57,310 --> 00:10:55,400
flecks coming out and he came down and

227
00:10:59,530 --> 00:10:57,320
told something to us and sure enough we

228
00:11:01,900 --> 00:10:59,540
got to some big lenses and looked and

229
00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:01,910
saw that there was some type of leak

230
00:11:06,490 --> 00:11:03,920
conferred with the ground they shot they

231
00:11:09,340 --> 00:11:06,500
showed a very slow trend and a drop of

232
00:11:11,460 --> 00:11:09,350
the pressure so we decided it was a leak

233
00:11:14,590 --> 00:11:11,470
we went to bed on third Thursday night

234
00:11:16,270 --> 00:11:14,600
Tom and Chris and myself thinking

235
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:16,280
there's no way that we'd ever do in a VA

236
00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:17,810
because it takes a couple weeks to get

237
00:11:22,810 --> 00:11:20,000
that done get all that preparation made

238
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:22,820
it's not like you can rescue Spock from

239
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:24,770
a volcano and push a button that doesn't

240
00:11:27,970 --> 00:11:26,330
happen up here where we can just go

241
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:27,980
outside unfortunately it'd be kind of

242
00:11:33,310 --> 00:11:31,610
cool if it was but and then we put the

243
00:11:34,690 --> 00:11:33,320
spacesuits on got them ready to on

244
00:11:38,650 --> 00:11:34,700
Friday put the spacesuits on and

245
00:11:41,770 --> 00:11:38,660
Saturday went out and Tom and I just

246
00:11:43,810 --> 00:11:41,780
removed a box with a failed pump package

247
00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:43,820
and put another one in we got lucky and

248
00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:46,550
that the we think the leak was inside of

249
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:49,310
this box that you can replace and not

250
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:52,250
deep inside some bed embedded in some

251
00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:54,290
piping that we would have no access to

252
00:11:59,560 --> 00:11:57,110
so that's the story are you guys

253
00:12:02,890 --> 00:11:59,570
prepared for it are you trained to deal

254
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:02,900
with all sorts of complications like

255
00:12:06,340 --> 00:12:04,370
when you're on the ground here training

256
00:12:09,190 --> 00:12:06,350
or you trained for that specifically are

257
00:12:15,730 --> 00:12:09,200
you just trained to be generally handy

258
00:12:18,910 --> 00:12:15,740
with space equipment space gear no you

259
00:12:21,940 --> 00:12:18,920
you lat you left but you left but that's

260
00:12:24,940 --> 00:12:21,950
a very good trade I think it's it's very

261
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:24,950
helpful with to be had a garage tinker

262
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:26,510
of a person if you're going to come up

263
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:27,770
here in a space station so that's what

264
00:12:31,180 --> 00:12:30,050
we do all day long is turn bolts and

265
00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:31,190
assemble things and fix

266
00:12:35,950 --> 00:12:34,310
broken equipment it's hard to train

267
00:12:37,870 --> 00:12:35,960
specifically for that kind of stuff on

268
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:37,880
the ground because how do you know

269
00:12:41,470 --> 00:12:40,130
what's gonna break which widget

270
00:12:45,220 --> 00:12:41,480
you really don't you just have to kind

271
00:12:47,020 --> 00:12:45,230
of have a generic sense of of how to of

272
00:12:49,710 --> 00:12:47,030
how things should run and fix stuff

273
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:49,720
that's broken and then we have a really

274
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:51,890
smart ground team that sends up

275
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:54,530
procedures with real nice steps in

276
00:13:00,250 --> 00:12:57,530
pictures and and just so that you and I

277
00:13:01,930 --> 00:13:00,260
can do procedures like that what we do

278
00:13:04,020 --> 00:13:01,940
strain specifically for is emergencies

279
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:04,030
but the big ones are a fire a

280
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:06,410
depressurization if some meter I came

281
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:08,210
and smacked the hole and we started

282
00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:10,490
losing air pressure or we have the

283
00:13:14,170 --> 00:13:12,320
ammonia that we just talked about if it

284
00:13:15,910 --> 00:13:14,180
leaked inside into the cabin then that's

285
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:15,920
a big problem too so those are kind of

286
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:17,510
our three big emergencies that we train

287
00:13:22,330 --> 00:13:19,730
for open / you should also watch out for

288
00:13:24,430 --> 00:13:22,340
Benedict Cumberbatch apparently he's

289
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:24,440
very threatening but from from what I

290
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:27,530
understand we now know man my

291
00:13:33,010 --> 00:13:30,530
understanding is that you have R is a

292
00:13:35,530 --> 00:13:33,020
the population of the ISS right now is

293
00:13:41,010 --> 00:13:35,540
yourself and to others and they are

294
00:13:44,050 --> 00:13:41,020
Russians is that correct that's right

295
00:13:47,170 --> 00:13:44,060
Pavel and Sasha we flew up in the Soyuz

296
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:47,180
together at the end of of March there

297
00:13:52,060 --> 00:13:48,890
and we'll go home together

298
00:13:53,620 --> 00:13:52,070
in in September and and so we're a

299
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:53,630
three-person crew we stay together the

300
00:13:57,580 --> 00:13:55,130
whole six months and then the other

301
00:13:59,800 --> 00:13:57,590
Soyuz just rotated out as I mentioned

302
00:14:01,360 --> 00:13:59,810
and one was coming up I got a question

303
00:14:04,060 --> 00:14:01,370
for one of you guys whoever wants the

304
00:14:05,170 --> 00:14:04,070
answer there's commercial companies

305
00:14:07,330 --> 00:14:05,180
coming online

306
00:14:09,250 --> 00:14:07,340
would you ever if money was not an

307
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:09,260
object would you ever buy a ticket and

308
00:14:21,730 --> 00:14:13,250
come up and visit we'll see you on

309
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:21,740
Friday okay very very good I just now -

310
00:14:25,660 --> 00:14:24,170
we have four sleeping quarters here in

311
00:14:27,610 --> 00:14:25,670
the US side of the space station there's

312
00:14:29,620 --> 00:14:27,620
two on the Russian side and there's two

313
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:29,630
of Aitkin seas right now so whoever can

314
00:14:41,980 --> 00:14:32,330
rush to Iraq at first you got a place to

315
00:14:44,450 --> 00:14:41,990
sleep I have a question please do I just

316
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:44,460
just this is dovetailing on

317
00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:45,690
Krista's question but I have a

318
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:48,030
five-year-old son and if he tells me one

319
00:14:53,180 --> 00:14:51,090
day he wants to be an astronaut what

320
00:15:00,470 --> 00:14:53,190
classes should I tell him not to fall

321
00:15:02,270 --> 00:15:00,480
asleep during I think the class that

322
00:15:03,770 --> 00:15:02,280
teaches you how to be a nice person

323
00:15:05,210 --> 00:15:03,780
don't fall asleep in that one we don't

324
00:15:06,860 --> 00:15:05,220
want people that are jerks to come up

325
00:15:10,610 --> 00:15:06,870
here in Space Station all the rest of

326
00:15:12,950 --> 00:15:10,620
stuff we can train for you you were most

327
00:15:15,530 --> 00:15:12,960
certainly not asleep in that guy clearly

328
00:15:17,330 --> 00:15:15,540
one of the things that we were very

329
00:15:21,050 --> 00:15:17,340
excited about when we were looking over

330
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:21,060
your very impressive bio is that you are

331
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:23,490
a Navy SEAL and I think that a lot of

332
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:26,310
people don't think of astronauts as

333
00:15:30,020 --> 00:15:27,810
having that kind of background can you

334
00:15:38,570 --> 00:15:30,030
talk just a little bit about what what

335
00:15:40,460 --> 00:15:38,580
your road up to the ISS was my road was

336
00:15:43,070 --> 00:15:40,470
through the water I guess you'd say I

337
00:15:44,690 --> 00:15:43,080
went to the Naval Academy and I decided

338
00:15:47,750 --> 00:15:44,700
to go in the SEAL Teams never really

339
00:15:52,490 --> 00:15:47,760
thought about life in space and I was

340
00:15:53,870 --> 00:15:52,500
intrigued by a astronaut the profession

341
00:15:55,370 --> 00:15:53,880
of astronaut but I never had thought it

342
00:15:59,630 --> 00:15:55,380
was something I would apply for or even

343
00:16:02,150 --> 00:15:59,640
do and then I was well in my career as a

344
00:16:04,850 --> 00:16:02,160
in the Navy SEAL Teams when I learned

345
00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:04,860
about another astronaut who was in the

346
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:06,870
SEAL Teams bill Shepard he happened to

347
00:16:17,950 --> 00:16:08,610
be the commander of the first crew to

348
00:16:23,570 --> 00:16:21,050
it was through him and talking with him

349
00:16:25,070 --> 00:16:23,580
that I realized hey if he did it my

350
00:16:27,170 --> 00:16:25,080
background was kind of similar maybe I

351
00:16:30,140 --> 00:16:27,180
should apply and I applied one time and

352
00:16:32,510 --> 00:16:30,150
was not chosen and then applied to the

353
00:16:34,820 --> 00:16:32,520
astronaut office in for the class of

354
00:16:37,310 --> 00:16:34,830
2004 and was lucky enough to get picked

355
00:16:39,380 --> 00:16:37,320
but we have all kind of different

356
00:16:42,380 --> 00:16:39,390
backgrounds as astronauts you know

357
00:16:44,930 --> 00:16:42,390
medical doctors of veterinarian military

358
00:16:48,350 --> 00:16:44,940
half was military about half is civilian

359
00:16:49,970 --> 00:16:48,360
and of the military guys most are pilots

360
00:16:52,850 --> 00:16:49,980
but there's a handful like me that did

361
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:52,860
other things besides fly so anyone can

362
00:16:57,260 --> 00:16:54,570
apply just have to be a US citizen to

363
00:16:58,519 --> 00:16:57,270
fly for NASA the other countries have

364
00:17:02,160 --> 00:16:58,529
their own application

365
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:02,170
can I ask a question Chris um I see that

366
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:03,730
you have a wedding ring on and obviously

367
00:17:07,980 --> 00:17:06,130
you must have internet up there I guess

368
00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:07,990
for us to be talking to you something

369
00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:10,720
like that and do you get to FaceTime

370
00:17:19,860 --> 00:17:16,569
with your wife yeah as a matter of fact

371
00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:19,870
it's not actually FaceTime but on once a

372
00:17:27,269 --> 00:17:23,529
week we arrange for Mission Control sets

373
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:27,279
up a family conference for us and it's

374
00:17:31,289 --> 00:17:28,809
routed through Mission Control and then

375
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:31,299
comes comes up and it's with video and

376
00:17:35,879 --> 00:17:33,130
and just basically just like what we're

377
00:17:37,409 --> 00:17:35,889
doing right now except I'll see her on a

378
00:17:41,220 --> 00:17:37,419
computer screen and I'm just looking at

379
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:41,230
a camera today and we have email of

380
00:17:47,070 --> 00:17:45,250
course but the email only synchronizes

381
00:17:50,580 --> 00:17:47,080
about four times a day

382
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:50,590
so what we're used we're all used to

383
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:52,690
with email where you hit Send and you

384
00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:54,370
look at your watch like what the heck

385
00:17:57,570 --> 00:17:56,080
it's two minutes of pass how come he

386
00:18:00,750 --> 00:17:57,580
hasn't answered me yet that doesn't

387
00:18:03,149 --> 00:18:00,760
happen it's it's sort of a time lag with

388
00:18:05,870 --> 00:18:03,159
it with the email but very thankful to

389
00:18:08,340 --> 00:18:05,880
have it and we don't have we have a

390
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:08,350
internet we do have the ability to go to

391
00:18:13,529 --> 00:18:10,330
the internet but it's it's not super

392
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:13,539
fast it's not super reliable so it's

393
00:18:17,970 --> 00:18:15,490
just really to get news and that sort of

394
00:18:19,409 --> 00:18:17,980
thing is what I use it for mostly we use

395
00:18:22,009 --> 00:18:19,419
the onboard station

396
00:18:24,389 --> 00:18:22,019
computers in essence is there only one

397
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:24,399
internet console so you're like oh the

398
00:18:37,919 --> 00:18:27,250
Russians are on the internet again Jess

399
00:18:39,539 --> 00:18:37,929
for God's sake no no that we each have a

400
00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:39,549
computer we do have a computer it's not

401
00:18:43,019 --> 00:18:41,440
like those of those days we're back you

402
00:18:44,190 --> 00:18:43,029
know back when I was in college there

403
00:18:45,539 --> 00:18:44,200
was a payphone you know and you're

404
00:18:47,490 --> 00:18:45,549
sitting there cussing out the person

405
00:18:49,019 --> 00:18:47,500
who's talking to their girlfriend for

406
00:18:49,919 --> 00:18:49,029
two hours and hogging the whole payphone

407
00:18:55,230 --> 00:18:49,929
it's not like that

408
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:55,240
I am curious from the pragmatic

409
00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:57,250
realities of what it is you do and you

410
00:19:00,720 --> 00:18:58,960
and you are up there you are living it

411
00:19:03,180 --> 00:19:00,730
this is your life that's your it's your

412
00:19:04,799 --> 00:19:03,190
vocation when you see science fiction

413
00:19:07,169 --> 00:19:04,809
movies particularly ones that involve

414
00:19:09,210 --> 00:19:07,179
space travel like ours is there a part

415
00:19:11,470 --> 00:19:09,220
of you that says like oh they're just

416
00:19:12,970 --> 00:19:11,480
getting it so wrong like what it

417
00:19:16,380 --> 00:19:12,980
what is the thing that kind of annoys

418
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:16,390
you the most when you when you see our

419
00:19:22,150 --> 00:19:19,490
our our big-time Hollywood block the

420
00:19:31,030 --> 00:19:22,160
outfits other than the very very tight

421
00:19:33,310 --> 00:19:31,040
sexy outfits no comment there but the

422
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:33,320
the thing that always does grab my

423
00:19:40,870 --> 00:19:38,210
attention it it the thing that does grab

424
00:19:42,610 --> 00:19:40,880
my attention is the everybody's always

425
00:19:44,980 --> 00:19:42,620
walking around and walking through

426
00:19:46,870 --> 00:19:44,990
walking on to the bridge of the ship or

427
00:19:49,890 --> 00:19:46,880
things like that and and it's probably

428
00:19:51,820 --> 00:19:49,900
hard hard to make that in a movie we're

429
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:51,830
technically how would you make everybody

430
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:55,970
float so I understand but it'd be far

431
00:19:59,410 --> 00:19:57,650
more fun if you could because trust me

432
00:20:05,800 --> 00:19:59,420
it's a pretty cool thing to just be able

433
00:20:07,450 --> 00:20:05,810
to like do this anytime you want yeah I

434
00:20:10,780 --> 00:20:07,460
feel like we just have to keep talking

435
00:20:15,130 --> 00:20:10,790
but what we want to do is like make you

436
00:20:16,750 --> 00:20:15,140
do things Chris yeah yeah what do you

437
00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:16,760
guys spend most of your days do it what

438
00:20:22,810 --> 00:20:19,310
you have certain mission parameters for

439
00:20:28,150 --> 00:20:22,820
this tour in space is it experiments or

440
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:28,160
is it what what is it exactly yeah

441
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:33,410
that's a good question really I'm me my

442
00:20:38,170 --> 00:20:35,930
time that and all our crewmates time is

443
00:20:39,940 --> 00:20:38,180
something that the ground manages and

444
00:20:43,210 --> 00:20:39,950
the program managers and the decision

445
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:43,220
makers really allocate our time as if it

446
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:46,250
was a budget and and how we brought how

447
00:20:49,810 --> 00:20:47,930
that gets broken down there's lots of

448
00:20:52,270 --> 00:20:49,820
that goes into that but basically the

449
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:52,280
things that we do are we maintain the

450
00:20:56,890 --> 00:20:54,410
space station we need the place to be

451
00:20:59,890 --> 00:20:56,900
functioning well so that it can support

452
00:21:02,110 --> 00:20:59,900
all the science that goes on but the

453
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:02,120
main mission of the space station is is

454
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:04,940
science it's a national it's a research

455
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:07,910
laboratory and so that's our number one

456
00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:10,610
thing is is the ability to execute these

457
00:21:15,130 --> 00:21:13,760
experiments now I already described to

458
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:15,140
you that we astronauts come in all

459
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:17,890
shapes and sizes and all of us are not

460
00:21:25,510 --> 00:21:21,650
really research scientists ourselves I

461
00:21:29,290 --> 00:21:25,520
am not so so what we do is we

462
00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:29,300
as subjects or we implement the the

463
00:21:34,570 --> 00:21:31,910
procedure the the experiment that and

464
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:34,580
usually the principal investigator the

465
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:36,710
actual scientist is on the other end of

466
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:38,930
the radio and with a video we have a

467
00:21:42,790 --> 00:21:40,490
video camera overlooking our shoulder

468
00:21:45,010 --> 00:21:42,800
and we'll be doing the things with that

469
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:45,020
scientist to give him the best he or she

470
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:52,480
sorry I apologize a slightly more

471
00:21:56,530 --> 00:21:54,290
philosophical question you know one of

472
00:21:59,530 --> 00:21:56,540
the things that I like about do you

473
00:22:01,870 --> 00:21:59,540
believe in free will yeah one of the

474
00:22:04,260 --> 00:22:01,880
things I like about Star Trek is that it

475
00:22:07,210 --> 00:22:04,270
has kind of an optimistic view of our

476
00:22:08,770 --> 00:22:07,220
species that were you know in the future

477
00:22:12,070 --> 00:22:08,780
our fleet is not a military organization

478
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:12,080
it's a scientific organization and I was

479
00:22:17,770 --> 00:22:14,450
wondering being an astronaut does it

480
00:22:24,610 --> 00:22:17,780
make you feel optimistic or pessimistic

481
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:24,620
about the future of our species good

482
00:22:32,020 --> 00:22:28,970
question for me it's optimism when when

483
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:32,030
when I look out the window and you're

484
00:22:37,330 --> 00:22:34,490
looking down at our beautiful planet you

485
00:22:39,220 --> 00:22:37,340
see the beautiful blues of the ocean and

486
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:39,230
the white clouds and white mountaintops

487
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:41,570
and browns and greens of the of the of

488
00:22:45,730 --> 00:22:44,090
the land and there's no borders down

489
00:22:48,820 --> 00:22:45,740
there you can't see like a little yellow

490
00:22:50,830 --> 00:22:48,830
line painted on the on the green part it

491
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:50,840
just looks like a big peaceful place and

492
00:22:54,910 --> 00:22:53,210
you know that there's traffic jams in LA

493
00:22:57,130 --> 00:22:54,920
and you know that there's problems in

494
00:22:59,800 --> 00:22:57,140
Kabul in all these different places

495
00:23:01,510 --> 00:22:59,810
around the country not to signal those

496
00:23:03,310 --> 00:23:01,520
places out but I mean around the world

497
00:23:07,510 --> 00:23:03,320
but you know what I mean

498
00:23:09,190 --> 00:23:07,520
and and when you see that all our planet

499
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:09,200
from this perspective it's just such a

500
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:12,110
peaceful tranquil looking location and

501
00:23:18,370 --> 00:23:14,570
it's our home it's our spaceship as a

502
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:18,380
whole and it makes me reflect on how

503
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:21,500
thankful I am to have it and that I hope

504
00:23:27,130 --> 00:23:25,310
that we take care of it I wish that

505
00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:27,140
every everybody could have that

506
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:29,510
experience but just hearing you talk

507
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:31,910
about it having had it I think that I

508
00:23:35,950 --> 00:23:34,010
speak for everyone watching that's

509
00:23:37,390 --> 00:23:35,960
incredibly meaningful I know we only

510
00:23:39,430 --> 00:23:37,400
have time for a couple more questions

511
00:23:42,220 --> 00:23:39,440
and I did want to get

512
00:23:43,509 --> 00:23:42,230
from from Google+ and this is I

513
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:43,519
apologize if I've mispronounced your

514
00:23:50,049 --> 00:23:47,330
name Carlos Nazareno asks and this is

515
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:50,059
very serious what happens when you

516
00:24:02,980 --> 00:23:52,610
sneeze while inside your space suit on a

517
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:02,990
spacewalk no-cut Carlos Carlos is

518
00:24:08,169 --> 00:24:05,690
obviously a practical guy because what

519
00:24:10,930 --> 00:24:08,179
your ability to see has to do with how

520
00:24:12,310 --> 00:24:10,940
clear that visor is and we wipe it off

521
00:24:13,899 --> 00:24:12,320
and make sure it's nice and clean before

522
00:24:16,629 --> 00:24:13,909
we put it on but once the help that

523
00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:16,639
helmet goes on any schmutz that gets on

524
00:24:22,990 --> 00:24:18,710
there is just an impediment to your

525
00:24:24,430 --> 00:24:23,000
ability to see clearly so and in reality

526
00:24:25,810 --> 00:24:24,440
what you do is you kind of just tilt

527
00:24:28,930 --> 00:24:25,820
your nose down underneath the lid

528
00:24:30,940 --> 00:24:28,940
underneath the neck ring and sneeze it

529
00:24:36,570 --> 00:24:30,950
schmutz a technical term is that a NASA

530
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:40,180
you know it it probably is an acronym if

531
00:24:43,029 --> 00:24:41,450
you look it up I'm sure there's a

532
00:24:45,639 --> 00:24:43,039
million NASA acronyms I don't know em

533
00:24:47,919 --> 00:24:45,649
all but my ocular it's a it's a

534
00:24:49,930 --> 00:24:47,929
non-technical term I think that was the

535
00:24:57,519 --> 00:24:49,940
original line from Apollo 13 houston we

536
00:24:58,930 --> 00:24:57,529
have the same Marcus but um any of you

537
00:25:00,100 --> 00:24:58,940
guys have any other questions for Chris

538
00:25:01,749 --> 00:25:00,110
because I know we're about to lose him

539
00:25:03,430 --> 00:25:01,759
in a minute and I don't know when the

540
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:03,440
next time we're gonna get to have an

541
00:25:23,649 --> 00:25:05,330
experience like this is going is going

542
00:25:26,019 --> 00:25:23,659
to roll around let me just say this it's

543
00:25:27,669 --> 00:25:26,029
it's been a it's been a real treat been

544
00:25:30,340 --> 00:25:27,679

best of luck with though I'm sure I've

546
00:25:35,409 --> 00:25:32,269
never been part of what's involved with

547
00:25:38,139 --> 00:25:35,419
the the the opening of a movie of this

548
00:25:39,460 --> 00:25:38,149
size or any of any size really but what

549
00:25:42,039 --> 00:25:39,470
you guys must be going through these

550
00:25:43,779 --> 00:25:42,049
weeks hectic schedule hectic schedule

551
00:25:46,330 --> 00:25:43,789
and all that so thanks for taking time

552
00:25:47,950 --> 00:25:46,340
out of your day to come aboard the space

553
00:25:49,570 --> 00:25:47,960
station you're welcome here anytime and

554
00:25:51,789 --> 00:25:49,580
like I said we got to open beds the

555
00:25:53,110 --> 00:25:51,799
first two here get them I think that I

556
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:53,120
speak for JJ when I say

557
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:55,250
you have an open invitation to be in

558
00:26:00,490 --> 00:25:58,010
Star Trek 3 she works it enough to make

559
00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:00,500
it we would we would be honored to have

560
00:26:06,970 --> 00:26:02,809
you and you obviously might can tell

561
00:26:08,950 --> 00:26:06,980
your colleagues make cameos running in

562
00:26:11,020 --> 00:26:08,960
whatever sort of silly scenarios we

563
00:26:13,540 --> 00:26:11,030
construct to the next adventure maybe

564
00:26:19,150 --> 00:26:13,550
you could class up the joint a bit we're

565
00:26:21,370 --> 00:26:19,160
really grateful for your time yeah my

566
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:21,380
pleasure JJ I particularly like that

567
00:26:24,730 --> 00:26:22,850
opening scene when they dovo off the

568
00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:24,740
cliff and then submerged to themselves

569
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:26,809
and to the to the ship I love that

570
00:26:30,340 --> 00:26:28,250
because that's what I did in my previous

571
00:26:32,470 --> 00:26:30,350
life I drove underwater vehicles so I've

572
00:26:34,030 --> 00:26:32,480
haven't jumped off a cliff that high but

573
00:26:36,610 --> 00:26:34,040
I've definitely gone from the land into

574
00:26:40,299 --> 00:26:36,620
the water and gotten in a sub so great

575
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:40,309
scene yeah Chris actually did that I was

576
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:42,170
not a stunt as if there's only one way

577
00:26:45,790 --> 00:26:43,490
to get a shot are you gonna are you

578
00:26:47,799 --> 00:26:45,800
gonna go back to after your astronaut

579
00:26:54,549 --> 00:26:47,809
too dumb are you gonna go back to being

580
00:27:00,160 --> 00:26:54,559
a Navy SEAL no no I don't think so

581
00:27:02,890 --> 00:27:00,170
I'm 43 which in in seal terms is old I

582
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:02,900
don't think I'm old but I am so there's

583
00:27:11,169 --> 00:27:09,790
well I I we we disagree there's yeah

584
00:27:13,030 --> 00:27:11,179
there's there's more than nothing for

585
00:27:16,090 --> 00:27:13,040
you as you so eloquently stated earlier

586
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:16,100
so again thank you Chris for for

587
00:27:20,530 --> 00:27:18,410
spending this time with us do we have

588
00:27:22,299 --> 00:27:20,540
more time I'm unclear that you were

589
00:27:22,780 --> 00:27:22,309
saying a minute oh we have three minutes

590
00:27:24,730 --> 00:27:22,790
left

591
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:24,740
oh my god that's very exciting we

592
00:27:31,890 --> 00:27:27,290
definitely you have to stay fit in space

593
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:33,090
[Music]

594
00:27:38,470 --> 00:27:35,510
the short answer is no it's not because

595
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:38,480
I'm a seal it's because staying fit is

596
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:40,850
is the best way to keep our bones

597
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:43,370
healthy when we get back what happens

598
00:27:47,410 --> 00:27:45,440
while you're up here on a long a long

599
00:27:50,350 --> 00:27:47,420
duration in space your bones get

600
00:27:52,060 --> 00:27:50,360
basically osteoporosis per OSIS and they

601
00:27:53,950 --> 00:27:52,070
get used to not having a load on them

602
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:53,960
and so they say I'm done I don't need to

603
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:56,210
work hard and if you don't put stress on

604
00:28:00,250 --> 00:27:57,530
your bones and you come back to earth

605
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:00,260
like a chicken noodle sandwich so that's

606
00:28:03,820 --> 00:28:02,450
not a good thing so then when you come

607
00:28:05,050 --> 00:28:03,830
back to earth do you have to spend a

608
00:28:05,970 --> 00:28:05,060
certain amount of time and like a

609
00:28:07,710 --> 00:28:05,980
pressure

610
00:28:18,870 --> 00:28:07,720
zone to kind of gradually build your

611
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:18,880
body back up to gravity or whatever we

612
00:28:24,750 --> 00:28:21,250
land and right right away we'll we'll

613
00:28:29,159 --> 00:28:24,760
start right away we'll start flying back

614
00:28:32,010 --> 00:28:29,169
to Houston and be at home about 20 24

615
00:28:34,650 --> 00:28:32,020
hours after after landing and the

616
00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:34,660
process is slow it takes on the order of

617
00:28:38,990 --> 00:28:36,880
the amount of time you're in space to

618
00:28:42,150 --> 00:28:39,000
totally 100% get back to your normal

619
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:42,160
pre-launch self so several months it'll

620
00:28:47,460 --> 00:28:44,770
be a rehabilitation and you know

621
00:28:51,140 --> 00:28:47,470
building up the the stamina that you

622
00:28:54,630 --> 00:28:51,150
used to have I have a silly question

623
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:54,640
when we finish a movie will we have

624
00:28:59,159 --> 00:28:56,770
mixed emotions leaving the set and

625
00:29:02,039 --> 00:28:59,169
coming home and not seeing each other

626
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:02,049
and also relief you know seeing your

627
00:29:05,610 --> 00:29:03,730
family again regularly and all that

628
00:29:13,980 --> 00:29:05,620
stuff what's it like for you emotionally

629
00:29:17,490 --> 00:29:13,990
to come home after a stint like this my

630
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:17,500
first my first mission was on a shuttle

631
00:29:21,260 --> 00:29:19,090
which was only two weeks long I've done

632
00:29:26,159 --> 00:29:21,270
lots of two-week training trips so that

633
00:29:28,740 --> 00:29:26,169
time difference was not a big deal in

634
00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:28,750
the military I have done.we my family

635
00:29:33,539 --> 00:29:31,150
and I have done for six-month

636
00:29:35,310 --> 00:29:33,549
deployments prior to this so it's not

637
00:29:38,159 --> 00:29:35,320
that we're experienced because nobody

638
00:29:39,810 --> 00:29:38,169
likes that separation but there's a nun

639
00:29:42,930 --> 00:29:39,820
really to be answer your question

640
00:29:44,820 --> 00:29:42,940
completely truthfully you have to as the

641
00:29:47,039 --> 00:29:44,830
person that's been away your family kind

642
00:29:48,810 --> 00:29:47,049
of get keeps on going and they get in a

643
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:48,820
routine without you and you got to

644
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:50,799
slowly inject yourself back into that

645
00:29:56,730 --> 00:29:53,770
equation so you in a nice way so you

646
00:29:59,400 --> 00:29:56,740
don't get rejected so to speak no I'm

647
00:30:02,549 --> 00:29:59,410
being a little joking but it's it's that

648
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:02,559
it's a slow process to to get back and

649
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:04,090
but it's definitely one that we can't

650
00:30:09,270 --> 00:30:07,450
wait to do also well Chris I have a

651
00:30:11,909 --> 00:30:09,280
six-year-old son and when I leave for

652
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:11,919
work he I say I'm going to I'm going to

653
00:30:14,430 --> 00:30:13,090
work today I'm going to make up stories

654
00:30:16,140 --> 00:30:14,440
I'm going to make movies and he's like

655
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:16,150
great have a good day this morning I

656
00:30:19,590 --> 00:30:18,010
left and said I'm going to talk to a

657
00:30:23,010 --> 00:30:19,600
real astronaut up in

658
00:30:26,010 --> 00:30:23,020
face and he said awesome so thank you

659
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:26,020
for giving us this experience I think my

660
00:30:33,659 --> 00:30:27,970
son probably echoes the feelings of

661
00:30:35,549 --> 00:30:33,669
everybody watching this chat let me show

662
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:35,559
you one share one story about mice my

663
00:30:41,669 --> 00:30:39,490
son was five when I came to NASA and the

664
00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:41,679
very first day I went to work and what

665
00:30:45,029 --> 00:30:43,120
do you do the first time the first day

666
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:45,039
of any job you get your badge you learn

667
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:47,890
where to park you go talk to the IT guy

668
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:49,510
and get your computer password that's

669
00:30:53,340 --> 00:30:51,370
what I my day was like on day one I came

670
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:53,350
home and my son met me at the door and

671
00:30:58,830 --> 00:30:56,130

losing Chris or

675
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:11,830
just I just love the idea that there's

676
00:31:16,140 --> 00:31:13,210
somebody talking in my ear right now

677
00:31:19,020 --> 00:31:16,150
it's so John Dewey station this is

678
00:31:43,049 --> 00:31:19,030
Houston ACR thank you that concludes our

679
00:31:46,289 --> 00:31:43,059
event let's just absorb the awesome on a

680
00:31:48,210 --> 00:31:46,299
second I feel I feel a little bad for

681
00:31:52,919 --> 00:31:48,220
you now Mike and shale because you can't

682
00:31:56,250 --> 00:31:52,929
float around but but we do have I think

683
00:31:57,810 --> 00:31:56,260
now that we probably can go to the to

684
00:32:00,659 --> 00:31:57,820
the Smithsonian and get some questions

685
00:32:01,529 --> 00:32:00,669
from there are we are we good to go this

686
00:32:06,299 --> 00:32:01,539
is for you now

687
00:32:09,419 --> 00:32:06,309

00:32:11,549 --> 00:32:09,429

690
00:32:21,659 --> 00:32:19,390
Enterprise back there some wheels all

691
00:32:22,740 --> 00:32:21,669
right I am Jessica tozer with armed with

692
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:22,750
science the Department of Defense

693
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:24,250
science blog and I have a question for

694
00:32:28,289 --> 00:32:26,650
the astronauts I want to know what type

695
00:32:30,539 --> 00:32:28,299
of science fiction technology you want

696
00:32:33,390 --> 00:32:30,549
to see actualized or have you seen

697
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:35,520
well that's a that's a neat question I

698
00:32:39,210 --> 00:32:37,330
think that's one of the real fun things

699
00:32:41,850 --> 00:32:39,220
about these movies and science fiction

700
00:32:43,710 --> 00:32:41,860
is general it's just that opportunity to

701
00:32:45,299 --> 00:32:43,720
imagine what the future could be like

702
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:45,309
and what technology is going to be like

703
00:32:49,230 --> 00:32:47,370
and we're really kind of living in that

704
00:32:51,540 --> 00:32:49,240
experience right now I mean we've had

705
00:32:54,870 --> 00:32:51,550
people living in space since 2001 a

706
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:54,880
constant human presence since 2001 and

707
00:32:59,880 --> 00:32:57,730
just amazing technologies really spun

708
00:33:02,160 --> 00:32:59,890
spun off from the space program as a

709
00:33:04,110 --> 00:33:02,170
result I'm a physician by training so

710
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:04,120
I'm really looking forward to a medical

711
00:33:08,130 --> 00:33:05,890
tricorder it would be great to just kind

712
00:33:11,250 --> 00:33:08,140
of wait for somebody and have the

713
00:33:14,310 --> 00:33:11,260
tricorder telling me what's going on I'd

714
00:33:16,590 --> 00:33:14,320
like to see a work drive after we can

715
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:16,600
get away and and travel the big part of

716
00:33:21,630 --> 00:33:18,250
the universe the better I think

717
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:21,640
and every time we make good investments

718
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:23,530
in space we get better technology and

719
00:33:33,419 --> 00:33:25,570
better life here on planet earth so when

720
00:33:34,650 --> 00:33:33,429
we make a couple calls for you do we do

721
00:33:35,540 --> 00:33:34,660
we have any other questions from the

722
00:33:41,669 --> 00:33:35,550
Smithsonian

723
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:41,679
feel free hi my name is Annie and the

724
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:43,210
movie was awesome guys I saw it last

725
00:33:47,430 --> 00:33:45,370
night thanks so much I have a question

726
00:33:49,980 --> 00:33:47,440
for the astronauts and the guys in

727
00:33:51,450 --> 00:33:49,990
Hollywood if you had to choose would be

728
00:33:54,870 --> 00:33:51,460
rather the International Space Station

729
00:33:57,570 --> 00:33:54,880
be held by Captain Kirk Picard Sisko

730
00:33:59,370 --> 00:33:57,580
Janeway or Archer and why so which of

731
00:34:02,640 --> 00:33:59,380
those captains has the qualities you

732
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:02,650
need to actually be in space that's a

733
00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:04,090
hard call I think Kingston's got a

734
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:06,880
handle that first okay we'll go first of

735
00:34:11,369 --> 00:34:09,010
course you know Chris Pine does a great

736
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:11,379
commander and I was commander so I

737
00:34:16,169 --> 00:34:13,090
appreciate that

738
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:16,179
I got when I was up in space on one of

739
00:34:21,020 --> 00:34:18,370
my last missions I got to talk to Scott

740
00:34:22,889 --> 00:34:21,030
Bakula and I thought Archer was a good

741
00:34:25,169 --> 00:34:22,899
transitional from the time we left

742
00:34:27,570 --> 00:34:25,179
planet Earth to you're the first warp

743
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:27,580
drive but each captain helps inspire

744
00:34:32,310 --> 00:34:30,850
their crew and each captain can help

745
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:32,320
bring out the best in their team and I

746
00:34:36,210 --> 00:34:33,610
think you guys see that every day

747
00:34:38,610 --> 00:34:36,220
whether you're at work we have making a

748
00:34:40,379 --> 00:34:38,620
phenomenal movie or here at NASA or

749
00:34:41,820 --> 00:34:40,389
wherever you are you know your

750
00:34:43,740 --> 00:34:41,830
leadership you if you have a good leader

751
00:34:45,330 --> 00:34:43,750
that can really make the best of the

752
00:34:47,010 --> 00:34:45,340
team and when you're going out into

753
00:34:51,240 --> 00:34:47,020
space you need to have the best you

754
00:34:52,860 --> 00:34:51,250
yeah we can't beat that answer yeah we

755
00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:52,870
got speed there and also it forces us to

756
00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:54,730
choose our favorite which is you can't

757
00:35:02,790 --> 00:34:56,110
do it's like it's like choosing your

758
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:12,320
original original Kirk would find of you

759
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:15,270
Michael and she'll a it would seem just

760
00:35:20,370 --> 00:35:17,890
by dropping Archer knowledge that you

761
00:35:22,620 --> 00:35:20,380
guys have some understanding of the of

762
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:22,630
the Trek universe where do you guys put

763
00:35:29,090 --> 00:35:24,850
yourself on the on the truck scale from

764
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:29,100
sort of casual fan to living in basement

765
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:32,530
building building replicating bridge of

766
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:35,710
enterprise let's hear it it's it's

767
00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:40,090
confession time voice I definitely enjoy

768
00:35:44,850 --> 00:35:42,880
a speculative fiction I would put myself

769
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:44,860
closer to the more casual side from a

770
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:48,730
Star Trek universe but I really really

771
00:35:53,820 --> 00:35:52,330
enjoyed the reboot of Star Trek and so

772
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:53,830
I'm looking forward to seeing the new

773
00:35:59,160 --> 00:35:57,010
movie yeah here's a here's a secret for

774
00:36:02,640 --> 00:35:59,170
you guys at NASA sometimes we have to go

775
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:02,650
to meetings sometimes we end up in

776
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:04,330
places and hearing things we don't want

777
00:36:08,730 --> 00:36:06,010
to we'd rather be doing something else

778
00:36:12,060 --> 00:36:08,740
and and when we do we kind of sometimes

779
00:36:14,490 --> 00:36:12,070
get that you know 240-mile look in our

780
00:36:16,890 --> 00:36:14,500
eyes same out I wish I were up at space

781
00:36:19,410 --> 00:36:16,900
and I wish are up in space right now but

782
00:36:21,180 --> 00:36:19,420
you know and then you think about some

783
00:36:23,190 --> 00:36:21,190
of the recent Star Trek episodes you're

784
00:36:24,780 --> 00:36:23,200
watched and you start to say yeah

785
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:24,790
that's inspirational that's why I'm here

786
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:26,770
at NASA because that vision that you

787
00:36:31,460 --> 00:36:28,450
guys share with us now we don't have as

788
00:36:33,990 --> 00:36:31,470
much as excitement we don't jump off of

789
00:36:36,030 --> 00:36:34,000
50,000 foot cliffs and things like that

790
00:36:38,210 --> 00:36:36,040
but when we do have our excitement like

791
00:36:41,580 --> 00:36:38,220
on spacewalks it's because you know we

792
00:36:44,550 --> 00:36:41,590
stuck with it and that we were inspired

793
00:36:46,620 --> 00:36:44,560
when we needed to be thank you okay

794
00:36:53,420 --> 00:36:46,630
although I'll respond to that by saying

795
00:36:57,300 --> 00:36:53,430
you cannot imagine how stupid we feel we

796
00:37:00,810 --> 00:36:57,310
we've got a question from Twitter at

797
00:37:03,330 --> 00:37:00,820
least a fuller McGee 4-h

798
00:37:06,030 --> 00:37:03,340
where any devices at NASA specifically

799
00:37:07,980 --> 00:37:06,040
developed because of Star Trek because

800
00:37:11,340 --> 00:37:07,990
someone liked to watch Star Trek is

801
00:37:14,850 --> 00:37:11,350
there did the show obviously has been

802
00:37:16,410 --> 00:37:14,860
around since the since the late 60s have

803
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:16,420
you heard that it had any direct

804
00:37:22,770 --> 00:37:19,410
influence on on development of NASA tech

805
00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:22,780
of course everyone knows that you know

806
00:37:25,110 --> 00:37:23,920
there were for a while there there is

807
00:37:27,090 --> 00:37:25,120
these flip telephones that

808
00:37:30,150 --> 00:37:27,100
coincidentally look like the original

809
00:37:33,690 --> 00:37:30,160
series of communicators but here at NASA

810
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:33,700
a lot of things would you know what you

811
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:35,410
guys imagine how small to make sense

812
00:37:38,910 --> 00:37:37,570
something how cool we can make it we try

813
00:37:41,340 --> 00:37:38,920
to image imitate it

814
00:37:43,350 --> 00:37:41,350
we don't have phasers but we do have

815
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:43,360
things like Joe was talking about with

816
00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:46,210
the with with tricorders alright so we

817
00:37:50,130 --> 00:37:47,710
don't have a tricorder that can get

818
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:50,140
everything yet but we're working on it

819
00:37:54,300 --> 00:37:52,330
so that we can get some be a little data

820
00:37:56,370 --> 00:37:54,310
package that can tell us how someone's

821
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:56,380
doing we have an experiment up on

822
00:38:00,720 --> 00:37:58,210
station right now called micro flow

823
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:00,730
which instead of using the really big

824
00:38:06,990 --> 00:38:04,810
tubes of liquids to get an analysis a

825
00:38:10,140 --> 00:38:07,000
chemical analysis uses these really tiny

826
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:10,150
little disposable cartridges and chips

827
00:38:13,770 --> 00:38:12,010
and that same technology finds its way

828
00:38:15,780 --> 00:38:13,780
into the hospital room just a few years

829
00:38:18,150 --> 00:38:15,790
after we you know experiment with it at

830
00:38:20,460 --> 00:38:18,160
NASA and it's it's pretty neat we're

831
00:38:23,970 --> 00:38:20,470
working towards a tricorder and warp

832
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:23,980
drive well uh which one of you is a

833
00:38:30,300 --> 00:38:28,210
doctor that's you have you have you have

834
00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:30,310
you ever found occasion to say damn it

835
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:39,460
man I'm a doctor I can say that I try to

836
00:38:48,690 --> 00:38:46,570
say that you can work it in some way in

837
00:38:53,820 --> 00:38:48,700
the next 24 hours paramount will pay you

838
00:38:59,310 --> 00:38:53,830
100 American dollars I think is good for

839
00:39:00,870 --> 00:38:59,320
that yeah $200 now my understanding is

840
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:00,880
that we also have some questions if the

841
00:39:06,420 --> 00:39:04,510
intrepid is that correct yes you guys

842
00:39:09,890 --> 00:39:06,430
send me by we would love to hear hi guys

843
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:09,900
hi in Trappe wow you look so you look so

844
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:12,050
poised

845
00:39:20,140 --> 00:39:17,510
please ask away okay um my name is

846
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:20,150
Nadine Kavanaugh I am a journal and a

847
00:39:24,790 --> 00:39:22,730
journalist I am a junior at world

848
00:39:28,510 --> 00:39:24,800
journalism preparatory school and my

849
00:39:30,970 --> 00:39:28,520
question is for Mike Fink in the film

850
00:39:32,859 --> 00:39:30,980
and television series Star Trek the crew

851
00:39:34,900 --> 00:39:32,869
assigned that the enterprise come from a

852
00:39:38,470 --> 00:39:34,910
variety of backgrounds and in some cases

853
00:39:40,990 --> 00:39:38,480
species the ISS is run by a group of

854
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:41,000
varied social educational and cultural

855
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:43,130
backgrounds as well they are very

856
00:39:48,700 --> 00:39:45,410
diverse what are the advantages and

857
00:39:52,839 --> 00:39:48,710
disadvantages of having diverse crew and

858
00:39:55,510 --> 00:39:52,849
team on board the ISS what a great

859
00:39:59,710 --> 00:39:55,520
question and it's not coincidental

860
00:40:01,180 --> 00:39:59,720
either it's by having a diverse crew

861
00:40:04,839 --> 00:40:01,190
like we do aboard the space station

862
00:40:06,609 --> 00:40:04,849
which is not coincidental with how Star

863
00:40:09,250 --> 00:40:06,619
Trek did it and Gene Roddenberry's

864
00:40:10,750 --> 00:40:09,260
original vision but we have the diverse

865
00:40:13,990 --> 00:40:10,760
crews that we have everyone brings their

866
00:40:16,089 --> 00:40:14,000
talents and their skills and not even

867
00:40:17,859 --> 00:40:16,099
Captain Kirk has all the skills he needs

868
00:40:20,109 --> 00:40:17,869
a spot to balance them out and have

869
00:40:21,849 --> 00:40:20,119
bones in there too and the same thing

870
00:40:25,210 --> 00:40:21,859
aboard space station we have Americans

871
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:25,220
Russians Canadians Japanese we have

872
00:40:31,180 --> 00:40:27,890
people that are Navy SEALs or like Chow

873
00:40:33,730 --> 00:40:31,190
here a doctor or myself an A or an Air

874
00:40:35,109 --> 00:40:33,740
Force flight test engineer and we all

875
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:35,119
bring out the best in each other and

876
00:40:38,620 --> 00:40:37,310
that's what really happens that's why we

877
00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:38,630
get the mission done because we are

878
00:40:43,690 --> 00:40:40,250
diverse I have a five-year-old daughter

879
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:43,700
and she stunned me one day when she told

880
00:40:46,930 --> 00:40:45,170
me when she was three years old that

881
00:40:48,849 --> 00:40:46,940
girls can't be astronauts so every day

882
00:40:50,620 --> 00:40:48,859
every time I get a chance I say hey look

883
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:50,630
girls can be astronauts boys can be

884
00:40:54,430 --> 00:40:52,730
astronauts black white yellow tan

885
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:54,440
whatever color you want to be whatever

886
00:41:00,490 --> 00:40:57,290
species I was accused being alien

887
00:41:05,650 --> 00:41:00,500
earlier and therm up in space and we

888
00:41:08,260 --> 00:41:05,660
need you and we need your talent yeah it

889
00:41:10,390 --> 00:41:08,270
was a compliment it was definitely a

890
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:10,400
compliment I think John's gonna got

891
00:41:14,380 --> 00:41:11,930
another social media question for you

892
00:41:16,359 --> 00:41:14,390
gentlemen by the way thank you for that

893
00:41:17,950 --> 00:41:16,369
answer especially I that was something

894
00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:17,960
that was very important to me watching

895
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:20,089
the original series as well and thank

896
00:41:25,809 --> 00:41:24,050
you guys for focusing on diversity I got

897
00:41:30,339 --> 00:41:25,819
a question from two

898
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:30,349
user at Samantha right I'm sorry that's

899
00:41:33,939 --> 00:41:30,890
nothing

900
00:41:36,099 --> 00:41:33,949
no at Steve on ski 981 for each

901
00:41:39,549 --> 00:41:36,109
astronaut can bring a personal item

902
00:41:44,049 --> 00:41:39,559
weighing one kilogram to space what

903
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:44,059
would you bring with you yeah we get to

904
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:46,130
bring out the little thing so I bring up

905
00:41:52,870 --> 00:41:49,249
pictures of my my family I wish I could

906
00:41:54,579 --> 00:41:52,880
bring up you know a tricorder or

907
00:41:56,529 --> 00:41:54,589
something like that or something with

908
00:41:58,630 --> 00:41:56,539
something useful a universal translator

909
00:42:02,439 --> 00:41:58,640
sometimes Russians a tough language

910
00:42:03,969 --> 00:42:02,449
those kind of things but you bring up

911
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:03,979
something that it's meaningful to you I

912
00:42:08,380 --> 00:42:06,170
brought up my wedding ring memories of

913
00:42:12,039 --> 00:42:08,390
my family that helped keep me going

914
00:42:13,209 --> 00:42:12,049
Joe that's a great question and that's

915
00:42:15,279 --> 00:42:13,219
something that actually I'm actually

916
00:42:18,749 --> 00:42:15,289
wrestling with right now I will launch

917
00:42:22,689 --> 00:42:18,759
in about two years from now May 2015 and

918
00:42:24,339 --> 00:42:22,699
so I'm actually at this moment trying to

919
00:42:25,870 --> 00:42:24,349
figure out what it is that that I'd like

920
00:42:36,069 --> 00:42:25,880
to bring with me I don't have an answer

921
00:42:38,049 --> 00:42:36,079
yet so how about a head shot of me John

922
00:42:45,189 --> 00:42:38,059
showed all you could bring several and

923
00:42:50,199 --> 00:42:45,199
hand them out all right the hair is too

924
00:42:53,410 --> 00:42:50,209
big this is actually the question that

925
00:42:55,449 --> 00:42:53,420
John abandoned from at Samantha Wray in

926
00:42:57,339 --> 00:42:55,459
the films there has always been some

927
00:43:00,759 --> 00:42:57,349
sort of gravitational force aboard the

928
00:43:05,319 --> 00:43:00,769
ships how close is NASA to making this a

929
00:43:09,999 --> 00:43:05,329
reality why would we you saw how funny

930
00:43:12,579 --> 00:43:10,009
it is to fly and and Chris Chris up on

931
00:43:13,989 --> 00:43:12,589
board station he he actually was holding

932
00:43:15,370 --> 00:43:13,999
back on you guys because he he could

933
00:43:17,769 --> 00:43:15,380
have flown back and forth the whole time

934
00:43:23,759 --> 00:43:17,779
and none of it CGI none of it's computer

935
00:43:28,779 --> 00:43:26,259
after whole year I never got tired of

936
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:28,789
flying it was really really fun so

937
00:43:32,620 --> 00:43:30,410
that's one reason why we don't do

938
00:43:34,150 --> 00:43:32,630
gravity it would be great for us if we

939
00:43:36,339 --> 00:43:34,160
could if we could master the force of

940
00:43:38,949 --> 00:43:36,349
gravity that could help us learn better

941
00:43:39,549 --> 00:43:38,959
propulsion systems make you know really

942
00:43:41,589 --> 00:43:39,559
good energy

943
00:43:43,569 --> 00:43:41,599
systems here on planet Earth so we don't

944
00:43:45,279 --> 00:43:43,579
pay so much for oil those kind of things

945
00:43:46,749 --> 00:43:45,289
all that kind of cool technology is

946
00:43:49,179 --> 00:43:46,759
something that you guys are helping

947
00:43:51,549 --> 00:43:49,189
inspire that to get some really smart

948
00:43:53,679 --> 00:43:51,559
people to figure out how we can do that

949
00:43:56,319 --> 00:43:53,689
and once we do that then we can go do

950
00:43:58,449 --> 00:43:56,329
some real exploration can I ask doesn't

951
00:44:00,339 --> 00:43:58,459
is NASA active in recruiting people you

952
00:44:02,199 --> 00:44:00,349
mean physician scientists are they do

953
00:44:06,429 --> 00:44:02,209
they go out and look for people or is it

954
00:44:10,029 --> 00:44:06,439
mostly incoming where you guys want to

955
00:44:12,219 --> 00:44:10,039
be part of the program and ask well

956
00:44:14,410 --> 00:44:12,229
that's a great question and NASA is

957
00:44:18,729 --> 00:44:14,420
actively out recruiting I mean we really

958
00:44:22,509 --> 00:44:18,739
want the best minds and we want

959
00:44:24,579 --> 00:44:22,519
inquisitive minds to okay to come and

960
00:44:26,380 --> 00:44:24,589
work with us to help us to explore and

961
00:44:28,839 --> 00:44:26,390
so we're definitely out in universities

962
00:44:30,969 --> 00:44:28,849
we actually have a group that does a

963
00:44:32,289 --> 00:44:30,979
destination station and goes out and

964
00:44:35,319 --> 00:44:32,299
talks with universities to talks with

965
00:44:37,329 --> 00:44:35,329
businesses to actively recruit to come

966
00:44:40,209 --> 00:44:37,339
people to come work at NASA that's I

967
00:44:41,620 --> 00:44:40,219
think what makes NASA so strong is just

968
00:44:44,410 --> 00:44:41,630
the quality of people that we have

969
00:44:47,019 --> 00:44:44,420
working here and and to turn that back

970
00:44:49,779 --> 00:44:47,029
to you though I mean I think you know I

971
00:44:51,309 --> 00:44:49,789
was inspired by by science fiction by

972
00:44:53,079 --> 00:44:51,319
the written word by film when I was

973
00:44:56,769 --> 00:44:53,089
little and that's what really made me

974
00:45:00,579 --> 00:44:56,779
pursue a career in science inspired me

975
00:45:02,259 --> 00:45:00,589
to try and reach this goal I have a

976
00:45:05,349 --> 00:45:02,269
question for do you guys ever feel the

977
00:45:08,049 --> 00:45:05,359
weight of being a role model or or what

978
00:45:12,579 --> 00:45:08,059
you were doing to inspire folks to to

979
00:45:15,189 --> 00:45:12,589
get involved in science I don't know I

980
00:45:17,469 --> 00:45:15,199
think it's what's so wonderful about

981
00:45:21,669 --> 00:45:17,479
talking with you is is how the arts and

982
00:45:22,959 --> 00:45:21,679
science have where they meet somewhere

983
00:45:25,359 --> 00:45:22,969
in the middle I always thought growing

984
00:45:27,130 --> 00:45:25,369
up I wasn't ever scientifically minded

985
00:45:29,499 --> 00:45:27,140
as much as I would have loved to have

986
00:45:32,919 --> 00:45:29,509
had a brain for for math and technology

987
00:45:35,259 --> 00:45:32,929
but it's it's great that that our worlds

988
00:45:40,089 --> 00:45:35,269
can meet at some point in the middle and

989
00:45:43,900 --> 00:45:40,099
hopefully inspire people to do to do

990
00:45:46,089 --> 00:45:43,910
good things in to explore into and the

991
00:45:48,839 --> 00:45:46,099
great thing about the vision of Gene

992
00:45:51,339 --> 00:45:48,849
Roddenberry is that there's this kind of

993
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:51,349
hopefulness to what people can do when

994
00:45:57,220 --> 00:45:53,090
they work together

995
00:45:58,900 --> 00:45:57,230
and that spirit of unity and and instead

996
00:46:00,700 --> 00:45:58,910
of what we often see in the world that

997
00:46:02,410 --> 00:46:00,710
you know divisive nough sand violence

998
00:46:05,740 --> 00:46:02,420
and all that I think is a great thing

999
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:05,750
it's been really inspiring talking I I

1000
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:08,770
do have a question for you guys which is

1001
00:46:15,610 --> 00:46:11,330
obviously here we are now in the year

1002
00:46:18,850 --> 00:46:15,620
2013 if you were to just close your eyes

1003
00:46:22,690 --> 00:46:18,860
and imagine what is the future of the

1004
00:46:26,860 --> 00:46:22,700
space program or or just mankind's sort

1005
00:46:28,780 --> 00:46:26,870
of experience with the world around us

1006
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:28,790
and the world beyond where do you think

1007
00:46:34,390 --> 00:46:30,650
we're going to be in 20 years that we

1008
00:46:36,700 --> 00:46:34,400
aren't now well I think one of the

1009
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:36,710
things personally I would love to see us

1010
00:46:42,580 --> 00:46:39,050
to go on to Mars I think that's been a

1011
00:46:45,130 --> 00:46:42,590
target for Humanity for a long time to

1012
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:45,140
see this beautiful red planet you know

1013
00:46:47,860 --> 00:46:46,490
you can see it in the sky see it through

1014
00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:47,870
a telescope and now beautiful pictures

1015
00:46:52,570 --> 00:46:49,730
coming from curiosity and all of the

1016
00:46:54,610 --> 00:46:52,580
Rovers that we've had out there but more

1017
00:46:56,170 --> 00:46:54,620
importantly I think that projects like

1018
00:46:59,650 --> 00:46:56,180
that and projects like the International

1019
00:47:01,630 --> 00:46:59,660
Space Station what an amazing thing to

1020
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:01,640
bring countries together from all over

1021
00:47:07,900 --> 00:47:04,610
the world to work on a peaceful a

1022
00:47:09,610 --> 00:47:07,910
peaceful project that's dedicated to

1023
00:47:12,570 --> 00:47:09,620
science investigation to research to

1024
00:47:14,470 --> 00:47:12,580
making life better on the earth and not

1025
00:47:16,690 --> 00:47:14,480
individually working against each other

1026
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:16,700
I mean we have a team of nations now

1027
00:47:21,790 --> 00:47:19,970
that were mortal enemies you know three

1028
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:21,800
50 60 years ago and now we're working

1029
00:47:26,260 --> 00:47:24,410
together to a common goal and so

1030
00:47:28,780 --> 00:47:26,270
continue to work like that I think is

1031
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:28,790
the most important thing but to work

1032
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:31,130
together to a project to get to Mars to

1033
00:47:37,150 --> 00:47:34,730
get to to another planet and maybe for a

1034
00:47:39,240 --> 00:47:37,160
peaceful I'm sorry for a permanent stay

1035
00:47:41,830 --> 00:47:39,250
there that would be an incredible thing

1036
00:47:44,260 --> 00:47:41,840
do you guys always want to be astronauts

1037
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:44,270
and secondly what are those qualities

1038
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:46,970
that you you believe are the the kind of

1039
00:47:53,260 --> 00:47:48,410
the important qualities that an

1040
00:47:55,690 --> 00:47:53,270
astronaut needs to exhibit well for

1041
00:47:57,460 --> 00:47:55,700
myself I have as for as long as I can

1042
00:47:59,770 --> 00:47:57,470
remember I always wanted to become an

1043
00:48:02,260 --> 00:47:59,780
astronaut it's not something that that I

1044
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:02,270
necessarily ever thought would would

1045
00:48:06,010 --> 00:48:04,850
occur it seems like a and an

1046
00:48:10,900 --> 00:48:06,020
out-of-this-world type

1047
00:48:12,910 --> 00:48:10,910
a possibility but it's something that

1048
00:48:16,810 --> 00:48:12,920
I've always I always kept kind of kept

1049
00:48:18,900 --> 00:48:16,820
as a very distant goal I always pursued

1050
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:18,910
things that I was interested in doing

1051
00:48:23,650 --> 00:48:22,010
specifically medicine and and then I was

1052
00:48:26,590 --> 00:48:23,660
investigating ways how hey how can I

1053
00:48:28,810 --> 00:48:26,600
practice medicine with the space program

1054
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:28,820
and so I I was able to get a job working

1055
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:31,970
here as a flight surgeon taking care of

1056
00:48:35,650 --> 00:48:34,130
the astronauts and and you know things

1057
00:48:38,110 --> 00:48:35,660
worked out and I had this tremendous

1058
00:48:39,730 --> 00:48:38,120
blessing now of working for NASA as an

1059
00:48:43,990 --> 00:48:39,740
astronaut and being a part of this

1060
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:44,000
incredible team here and and for me you

1061
00:48:47,140 --> 00:48:45,770
know I tried to think back to what was

1062
00:48:48,700 --> 00:48:47,150
it that inspired me to do this and

1063
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:48,710
they're always really kind of come back

1064
00:48:55,660 --> 00:48:53,210
to the the worlds that were created and

1065
00:48:59,470 --> 00:48:55,670
on film and in books with science

1066
00:49:02,170 --> 00:48:59,480
fiction you know ever since I was three

1067
00:49:04,660 --> 00:49:02,180
years old I wanted to be a director and

1068
00:49:07,690 --> 00:49:04,670
writer but I fell directly writer school

1069
00:49:13,210 --> 00:49:07,700
and then I tried acting and that didn't

1070
00:49:22,420 --> 00:49:13,220
work out so now I go on spacewalks we're

1071
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:22,430
off are there any actors in space you

1072
00:49:27,670 --> 00:49:24,050
guys need entertainment up there for God

1073
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:27,680
say yeah Chris Hadfield just to just to

1074
00:49:33,250 --> 00:49:29,810
determine this job

1075
00:49:37,950 --> 00:49:33,260
I think harnessing the the visuals of

1076
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:37,960
space and and Tom Marshburn as well and

1077
00:49:43,300 --> 00:49:41,570
in producing some of the songs and

1078
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:43,310
visuals that we've seen on YouTube

1079
00:49:49,060 --> 00:49:45,170
lately and so getting being able to

1080
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:49,070
share that experiences is tremendous now

1081
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:52,970
you talked about Mars and obviously that

1082
00:49:59,530 --> 00:49:56,570
that could be years down the road but if

1083
00:50:01,830 --> 00:49:59,540
it was in the next couple years would

1084
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:01,840
you would you sign up for that mission

1085
00:50:09,070 --> 00:50:05,570
even even if you were gone obviously in

1086
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:09,080
Star Trek there's a Simon Pegg goes to

1087
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:12,290
Jupiter takes about a minute two minutes

1088
00:50:17,470 --> 00:50:15,650
huh it would be a much more long long

1089
00:50:19,720 --> 00:50:17,480
and involved journey but would you go

1090
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:19,730
for it would you do it

1091
00:50:28,390 --> 00:50:23,210
that's a tough question right now I look

1092
00:50:30,819 --> 00:50:28,400
right away I think one of the this is

1093
00:50:31,930 --> 00:50:30,829
such an amazing job and the opportunity

1094
00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:31,940
to go to the space station to do

1095
00:50:36,460 --> 00:50:34,730
research and science is an amazing thing

1096
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:36,470
I think one of the toughest parts of

1097
00:50:42,430 --> 00:50:38,690
this job is being away from family and

1098
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:42,440
that is our training I'm currently in

1099
00:50:46,210 --> 00:50:45,050
the training flow for my mission that's

1100
00:50:48,460 --> 00:50:46,220
two and a half years and about half that

1101
00:50:49,900 --> 00:50:48,470
time is spent overseas training with the

1102
00:50:54,490 --> 00:50:49,910
Russians with the Japanese with the

1103
00:50:57,579 --> 00:50:54,500
Europeans we develop ways to make that

1104
00:51:00,730 --> 00:50:57,589
work FaceTime Skype and all those sorts

1105
00:51:02,079 --> 00:51:00,740
of things and we have great ways to

1106
00:51:04,450 --> 00:51:02,089
communicate while we're up on the space

1107
00:51:06,819 --> 00:51:04,460
station it would be hard to to be away

1108
00:51:08,950 --> 00:51:06,829
from the family for as long as would

1109
00:51:11,530 --> 00:51:08,960
take to get to Mars but boy what an

1110
00:51:15,069 --> 00:51:11,540
amazing opportunity and I think I don't

1111
00:51:17,290 --> 00:51:15,079
throw my hat in that ring when one more

1112
00:51:20,530 --> 00:51:17,300
question this is from actually the Star

1113
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:20,540
Trek the Star Trek app is accepting

1114
00:51:26,950 --> 00:51:24,650
questions Kirsten asks if you had your

1115
00:51:31,390 --> 00:51:26,960
own starship what would you name it

1116
00:51:35,220 --> 00:51:31,400
don't think too hard for me I would name

1117
00:51:39,339 --> 00:51:35,230
it the the USS endurance yeah

1118
00:51:40,780 --> 00:51:39,349
Shackleton's expedition to to the

1119
00:51:43,809 --> 00:51:40,790
Antarctic I don't know if you've heard

1120
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:43,819
about that it's an amazing story of

1121
00:51:49,150 --> 00:51:45,890
these guys getting shipwrecked and

1122
00:51:52,300 --> 00:51:49,160
spending essentially over a year almost

1123
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:52,310
two years surviving that that that

1124
00:51:58,300 --> 00:51:56,690
ordeal can Branum one Shackleton there's

1125
00:52:00,250 --> 00:51:58,310
I think there's a movie about that cuz

1126
00:52:04,089 --> 00:52:00,260
we don't we don't actually study history

1127
00:52:05,620 --> 00:52:04,099
we just watch each other's movies it's

1128
00:52:09,819 --> 00:52:05,630
like oh yeah I can brown off that's

1129
00:52:11,470 --> 00:52:09,829
right he did that we should watch the

1130
00:52:12,190 --> 00:52:11,480
movie to read the book because it's it's

1131
00:52:16,359 --> 00:52:12,200
pretty incredible

1132
00:52:20,109 --> 00:52:16,369
excellent what about you my price I'm

1133
00:52:22,780 --> 00:52:20,119
not big Aegis neither are we

1134
00:52:25,359 --> 00:52:22,790
I mean look we're you know we this has

1135
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:25,369
been around for 40 years and that's the

1136
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:27,290
best we could come up with victory when

1137
00:52:31,809 --> 00:52:29,690
I was off oh that's good yeah it's very

1138
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:31,819
nice I don't know victorious over what

1139
00:52:37,210 --> 00:52:33,530
but maybe we made it to

1140
00:52:38,650 --> 00:52:37,220
the victory I think that we have time

1141
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:38,660
for actually just one final last

1142
00:52:43,090 --> 00:52:40,250
question which is my understanding is

1143
00:52:46,750 --> 00:52:43,100
that one of you gentlemen appeared as

1144
00:52:50,110 --> 00:52:46,760
the grand marshal at Trek fest a year

1145
00:52:52,330 --> 00:52:50,120
ago did you have to yell did you see

1146
00:52:54,100 --> 00:52:52,340
what is that what is that involved is is

1147
00:52:57,850 --> 00:52:54,110
there a splash do you have to speak

1148
00:52:59,230 --> 00:52:57,860
Klingon what outfit was the Grand

1149
00:53:03,840 --> 00:52:59,240
Marshal entail

1150
00:53:11,770 --> 00:53:07,420
send them immediately to go to Riverside

1151
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:11,780
Iowa the proposed birthplace in the not

1152
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:14,530
too distant future and I think also the

1153
00:53:21,570 --> 00:53:17,690
where they build starships in the in the

1154
00:53:24,580 --> 00:53:21,580
first movie I got to be in a parade and

1155
00:53:25,810 --> 00:53:24,590
talk with a bunch of folks out there and

1156
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:25,820
it was a it's a really neat opportunity

1157
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:27,650
they had their great folks out there

1158
00:53:33,460 --> 00:53:30,170
very excited about the Star Trek

1159
00:53:36,370 --> 00:53:33,470

1160
00:53:38,380 --> 00:53:36,380
talk with them and and and was it you

1161
00:53:39,820 --> 00:53:38,390
