1
00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:03,830
do you want to call the list out and and

2
00:00:08,470 --> 00:00:06,160
tell us we'll get that order straight oh

3
00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:08,480
it's okay if you don't go in exact order

4
00:00:11,110 --> 00:00:09,280
um

5
00:00:13,990 --> 00:00:11,120
so let's just have the first person come

6
00:00:16,230 --> 00:00:14,000
up and stand by the next voice you hear

7
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:16,240
will be from mission control hi

8
00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:17,760
everybody josh barley here inside

9
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:18,960
mission control we're looking forward to

10
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:20,320
taking your questions i've got astronaut

11
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:22,000
nicole stott sitting here beside me she

12
00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:24,160
has flown both on the space shuttle i

13
00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:26,080
remember a couple of missions and uh and

14
00:00:29,589 --> 00:00:27,199
the uh she lived on board the space

15
00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:29,599
station as well so she is uh ready to

16
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:30,800
answer your question so if we'll go

17
00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:32,160
ahead and get started with the first one

18
00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:35,360
we'll see if we can answer it

19
00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:37,040
introduce yourself

20
00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:42,559
hi i'm latrell

21
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:50,709
what does water look like in space

22
00:00:56,310 --> 00:00:54,879
think that's the question and well water

23
00:00:58,310 --> 00:00:56,320
kind of looks like water does on the

24
00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:58,320
ground except for it takes a different

25
00:01:01,670 --> 00:00:59,199
shape

26
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:01,680
so if you were to say take your drink

27
00:01:05,350 --> 00:01:04,159
bag filled with water and squirt it out

28
00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:05,360
on the ground it's just going to kind of

29
00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:07,520
squirt out and then drop you know drop

30
00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:09,360
to the ground but in space if you squirt

31
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:11,119
it out it's going to make this big ball

32
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:13,040
of water that then it'll just float

33
00:01:17,109 --> 00:01:15,360
around unless you disrupt it and touch

34
00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:17,119
it and it'll go into a whole bunch of

35
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:19,439
littler balls of water but one of the

36
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:21,439
other neat things about water is that

37
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:23,360
when it's in that big ball you can kind

38
00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:24,960
of stick your arm or something else

39
00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:27,360
through it and it'll just coat your arm

40
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:29,200
like a glove with the water because

41
00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:30,240
that's

42
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:32,880
uh the reason is that surface tension

43
00:01:36,789 --> 00:01:34,400
and things like that just behave

44
00:01:38,789 --> 00:01:36,799
differently in zero gravity instead of

45
00:01:40,069 --> 00:01:38,799
in gravity like they do down here so

46
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:40,079
unless you shook it off your arm it's

47
00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:41,520
going to stay there but it still looks

48
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:57,190
thank you thank you

49
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,389
see do we have another question

50
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:08,229
yes we're ready

51
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:10,790
um

52
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:13,190
would you like to go back in space on

53
00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:16,080
the international space station

54
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:18,400
one answer one word i guess yes i would

55
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:19,840
like to go back to space on the

56
00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,080
international space station it is a

57
00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:24,319
really incredible place and getting

58
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:27,200
there and coming back is a really fun

59
00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:30,640
and uh impressive ride and the time on

60
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:33,360
space station is just so amazing i mean

61
00:02:37,910 --> 00:02:35,200
everything from the way you float and

62
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:37,920
move around in space and looking out the

63
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:40,160
window back at earth or seeing other

64
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:42,239
spacecraft and having that time with

65
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:44,160
your crew up there and also

66
00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:45,840
the the really neat kind of science and

67
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:47,440
work that's going up there i would love

68
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:49,200
to go back to space station again i

69
00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:50,560
don't think anybody's ever said no to

70
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:51,760
that question no i would have to

71
00:03:03,350 --> 00:02:54,480
question their judgment if they say no

72
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,190
be next astronaut

73
00:03:11,430 --> 00:03:08,949
so i think the question is did i always

74
00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:11,440
want to be an astronaut and

75
00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:13,840
i think i always thought that being an

76
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:16,000
astronaut was a really cool thing

77
00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:19,200
but it really wasn't until i think i was

78
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:20,879
in college already when i started

79
00:03:23,509 --> 00:03:22,080
thinking about

80
00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:23,519
well maybe there's a possibility of

81
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:25,519
actually being an astronaut but i was

82
00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:26,959
lucky enough to grow up with a family

83
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:29,360
where we spent a lot of time out at an

84
00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:31,680
airport my dad liked to fly and so i

85
00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:33,360
learned all about flying and knew i

86
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:35,840
wanted to do something with flying and

87
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:37,680
in the end after i was studying

88
00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:39,360
engineering at school i thought well you

89
00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:41,599
know what better place to fly than space

90
00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:43,440
and that's what kind of got me really

91
00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:44,720
thinking about

92
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:46,560
being an astronaut and then i was really

93
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:48,879
fortunate to get a job at kennedy space

94
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:49,840
center

95
00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:51,680
in florida and working with the space

96
00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:53,760
shuttles and got to see even more and

97
00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:55,439
more about what being an astronaut would

98
00:03:59,270 --> 00:03:57,360
be like and it made me more and more

99
00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:59,280
interested in it and i had people that

100
00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:01,120
encouraged me to apply and i'm very

101
00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:02,799
thankful to them because

102
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:04,640
quite honestly i pinch myself or i have

103
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:05,920
josh pinch me

104
00:04:10,789 --> 00:04:08,480
every day to uh remind me how lucky i am

105
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:10,799
that i have this this very very cool job

106
00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:11,760
yeah

107
00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:18,870
hi my name is jeffrey

108
00:04:24,469 --> 00:04:21,680
hi jeffrey are you gone

109
00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:24,479
hi are you going to the mars mission

110
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:26,960
am i going to the mars mission well i

111
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:28,800
don't think so i think if i fly again

112
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:31,040
it'll be back up to space station but i

113
00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:31,840
think

114
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:34,720
that jeffrey um that you and probably

115
00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:36,400
some of those folks in your room with

116
00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:38,560
you uh should start thinking really

117
00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:40,320
seriously about you know that whole kind

118
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:42,479
of astronaut or science and technology

119
00:04:46,390 --> 00:04:43,919
kind of jobs and

120
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:46,400
and perhaps maybe um one of you or more

121
00:04:50,469 --> 00:04:47,840
of you in that room will be the ones

122
00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:50,479
going to to mars someday i i really

123
00:04:53,749 --> 00:04:52,080
really hope that

124
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:53,759
uh that i can watch

125
00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:56,240
my son who's a fifth grader have those

126
00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:58,160
kinds of opportunities and

127
00:05:01,749 --> 00:05:00,080
the same for for you guys as well i

128
00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:01,759
think we do have that to look forward to

129
00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:03,360
but unfortunately i don't think i'll be

130
00:05:18,950 --> 00:05:14,550
is it comfortable in space

131
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:18,960
really comfortable in space so imagine

132
00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:20,400
right now in your classroom that you

133
00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:22,400
were able to just kind of float up out

134
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:24,720
of your chair and you didn't feel like

135
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:26,880
the pressure of your legs or your bottom

136
00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:28,880
in your in your chair on the wooden seat

137
00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:31,120
or the metal seat right now and that

138
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:32,639
you're just everything was just kind of

139
00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:34,800
offloaded and you were able to float it

140
00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:37,120
makes it very very comfortable and and

141
00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:38,479
that's everything from just how you

142
00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:41,360
float and move around to sleeping at

143
00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:43,360
night in a sleeping bag that you just

144
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:45,039
kind of float in and use there's no

145
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:47,680
pressure points and your body just can

146
00:06:00,070 --> 00:05:50,000
completely relax while you're in in

147
00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:03,110
what was it like on the nemo nine

148
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:04,960
what was it like on nemo nine well you

149
00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:07,840
know when and it was really awesome when

150
00:06:12,469 --> 00:06:10,080
uh i had the chance to do that nemo 9

151
00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:12,479
mission i hadn't flown in space yet

152
00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:13,520
so

153
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:15,360
i talked to a lot of the people who who

154
00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:17,039
had done the earlier nemo missions

155
00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:18,240
before me

156
00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:20,319
and several of them had flown in space

157
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:23,199
before and they said to me that this

158
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:25,520
this that i would find probably that

159
00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:28,560
this will be the closest thing that um

160
00:06:32,629 --> 00:06:31,039
compares to flying or living and working

161
00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:32,639
on a space station

162
00:06:36,469 --> 00:06:34,479
and i remember doing that mission and

163
00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:36,479
we're in this habitat or this you know

164
00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:37,919
this um

165
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:39,840
i know it's almost like a submarine kind

166
00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:41,759
of thing that sits on the bottom of the

167
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:43,280
ocean and

168
00:06:46,629 --> 00:06:45,120
about the size of one of the modules on

169
00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:46,639
the space station and i remember being

170
00:06:49,189 --> 00:06:48,319
in there thinking just how incredible it

171
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:49,199
was

172
00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:51,280
that we were in this place where you

173
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:52,960
couldn't just walk out the door without

174
00:06:57,029 --> 00:06:54,880
having special equipment on and you had

175
00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:57,039
to think about what was going on with

176
00:07:00,870 --> 00:06:58,639
the systems and the stuff that make the

177
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:00,880
place work all the time and

178
00:07:05,430 --> 00:07:02,800
how you operate differently and then

179
00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:05,440
after flying in space it just was it was

180
00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:07,039
exactly what those other people had said

181
00:07:12,070 --> 00:07:09,280
to me it was the perfect

182
00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:12,080
perfect place to learn about how to live

183
00:07:15,830 --> 00:07:14,240
and work in an environment that's not

184
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:15,840
like we have in our houses where we can

185
00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:18,080
just walk outside and you know breathe

186
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:20,639
the air and move freely we have to all

187
00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:23,280
the time think about

188
00:07:27,110 --> 00:07:24,560
working differently and keeping

189
00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:27,120
ourselves safe and wearing the equipment

190
00:07:30,390 --> 00:07:28,800
that you need to live and work in that

191
00:07:33,350 --> 00:07:30,400
kind of environment so

192
00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:33,360
it was really really cool and to be

193
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:35,440
on the bottom of the ocean for three

194
00:07:38,790 --> 00:07:36,800
weeks

195
00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:38,800
being able to go out and dive from that

196
00:07:43,589 --> 00:07:41,120
habitat and experience the environment

197
00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:43,599
around there it's it's very comparable

198
00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:47,120
to me to that experience i had uh being

199
00:07:51,029 --> 00:07:48,800
able to do a spacewalk on the space

200
00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:51,039
station and being able to experience

201
00:07:55,589 --> 00:07:53,520
that in a very different way um to see

202
00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:55,599
our earth in a different way and to just

203
00:07:59,510 --> 00:07:57,440
appreciate it like that

204
00:08:01,110 --> 00:07:59,520
from from a perspective that's very

205
00:08:03,670 --> 00:08:01,120
different than kind of

206
00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:03,680
that we have kind of moving across

207
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:05,280
you know moving across the surface of

208
00:08:18,869 --> 00:08:06,720
earth

209
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:23,430
hi my name is brian hi

210
00:08:28,469 --> 00:08:26,230
uh in the future will you guys ever make

211
00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:28,479
more special technology to

212
00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:33,750
we go past venus

213
00:08:37,589 --> 00:08:35,519
yeah well you know right now we have

214
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:37,599
technology that we don't have people on

215
00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:39,760
board the spacecraft that do that but we

216
00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:41,760
have all kinds of robotic

217
00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:43,680
missions that take us outside of low

218
00:08:47,910 --> 00:08:45,760
earth orbit take us you know past the

219
00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:47,920
moon past mars and then in the other

220
00:08:51,509 --> 00:08:49,920
direction outside you know into the

221
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:51,519
solar system as well where we're

222
00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:53,519
learning all kinds of things about the

223
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:55,040
other planets in our solar system as

224
00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:56,880
well as outside of it

225
00:09:01,350 --> 00:08:59,279
and so i think the you know the natural

226
00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:01,360
path with the technology will be

227
00:09:05,430 --> 00:09:03,200
just like we're looking at taking people

228
00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:05,440
to mars someday we'll be looking at

229
00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:08,880
going further and further out away from

230
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:11,680
our you know our kind of earthly um

231
00:09:17,350 --> 00:09:14,800
place and exploring the the solar system

232
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:17,360
and the universe even more with

233
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:19,760
people on board as well so and that's

234
00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:20,880
one of the things that we're using the

235
00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:22,640
space station for right now we're we're

236
00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:24,800
in low earth orbit we're what 200

237
00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:26,240
something miles

238
00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:28,000
uh above the earth which doesn't really

239
00:09:31,990 --> 00:09:30,320
seem all that far but just by being in

240
00:09:34,070 --> 00:09:32,000
that place we can learn more and more

241
00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:34,080
about how our bodies behave

242
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:35,680
in space and what we need to pay

243
00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:37,760
attention to there and also about the

244
00:09:43,829 --> 00:09:40,800
technology like you know engines rocket

245
00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:43,839
engines and fuel and um food and all

246
00:09:46,949 --> 00:09:45,120
those kinds of things that will need to

247
00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:46,959
go further and further away from earth

248
00:10:00,470 --> 00:09:58,389
i was wondering if how do you use the

249
00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:00,480
restroom in space

250
00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:03,760
you know that's a really good question

251
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:04,720
and

252
00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:07,200
it's one of those things that is just

253
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:09,040
you know it's kind of the same and then

254
00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:10,640
it's very different to what we do here

255
00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:12,880
on earth and i consider those things to

256
00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:14,560
be part of it you know part of what i

257
00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:16,640
consider the whole adventure of of

258
00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:18,399
flying in space is that

259
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:19,920
you know the uniqueness of it and kind

260
00:10:23,269 --> 00:10:21,839
of the the fun side of it the adventure

261
00:10:25,269 --> 00:10:23,279
side of it was that it's not going to be

262
00:10:28,949 --> 00:10:25,279
exactly like what we do down here on

263
00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:28,959
earth but um in space you have um we'll

264
00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:31,360
go the number one number two route and

265
00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:33,120
you have the capability to deal with

266
00:10:37,509 --> 00:10:35,519
both of those and for number two it's

267
00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:37,519
kind of like a camp potty you know where

268
00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:39,120
you um

269
00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:41,279
use that to contain the solid waste and

270
00:10:45,269 --> 00:10:43,120
then that gets uh

271
00:10:47,509 --> 00:10:45,279
burnt up in the atmosphere someday in a

272
00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:47,519
spacecraft that takes trash away from

273
00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:49,680
the space station and for number one

274
00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:50,560
it's

275
00:10:57,190 --> 00:10:53,680
basically a hose we call a urine hose

276
00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:57,200
that has a vacuum on it and you just

277
00:11:00,790 --> 00:10:58,640
take advantage of that system it

278
00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:00,800
contains the the urine and then one of

279
00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:02,640
the really neat things about

280
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:05,040
what happens there is like with the

281
00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:06,800
space station as a whole where we want

282
00:11:10,949 --> 00:11:08,240
to be as

283
00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:10,959
independent uh a spacecraft as possible

284
00:11:15,750 --> 00:11:13,279
not relying on earth resources all at

285
00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:15,760
the time to get us what we need

286
00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:18,720
we recycle all of our

287
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:20,640
all of our liquids and moisture onboard

288
00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:22,720
station and do that in a way that allows

289
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:25,040
us to generate new clean water and also

290
00:11:28,949 --> 00:11:26,880
water to use in our technical systems

291
00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:28,959
too so really kind of a neat process

292
00:11:33,269 --> 00:11:31,519
that goes on on board and uh

293
00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:33,279
hopefully that answers a little bit

294
00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:34,720
about

295
00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:36,320
what it's like to go to the bathroom in

296
00:11:39,670 --> 00:11:38,000
space if you guys want to see it and and

297
00:11:41,590 --> 00:11:39,680
you go to youtube maybe your teacher can

298
00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:41,600
do this it's a clean video but go uh go

299
00:11:45,430 --> 00:11:44,160
to youtube and type in space potty and

300
00:11:47,190 --> 00:11:45,440
you'll see a video that we did with mike

301
00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:47,200
massimino another astronaut here a few

302
00:11:50,069 --> 00:11:48,880
years ago it's it's the shuttle potty

303
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:50,079
that you're gonna see it's not the space

304
00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:52,320
station potty but uh you'll get the idea

305
00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:54,000
i guess yeah it's a very descriptive

306
00:12:00,470 --> 00:11:56,399
video so enjoy it's all about the vacuum

307
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:10,550
who's next

308
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:15,910
hi my name is catherine hi catherine

309
00:12:21,910 --> 00:12:19,750
um are the missions really hard

310
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:21,920
are the missions really hard well you

311
00:12:26,230 --> 00:12:23,680
know that's that that's kind of hard to

312
00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:26,240
answer actually because we we do so much

313
00:12:29,190 --> 00:12:28,000
training before our missions to prepare

314
00:12:30,710 --> 00:12:29,200
us for

315
00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:30,720
what we know is going to happen when

316
00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:32,240
we're on board all the science we're

317
00:12:35,269 --> 00:12:33,519
going to do

318
00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:35,279
the maintenance tasks that we have to

319
00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:37,040
work on each day the way we're going to

320
00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:39,040
exercise and eat when we're up there and

321
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:41,040
that kind of thing so that doesn't

322
00:12:45,509 --> 00:12:43,120
really seem hard when you're up there

323
00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:45,519
because you're kind of expecting it so i

324
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:47,040
think that the thing that's that's kind

325
00:12:50,790 --> 00:12:48,800
of hard is there there's two things

326
00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:50,800
really one is when something doesn't go

327
00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:53,279
like you expected and you need to work

328
00:12:57,750 --> 00:12:55,440
differently with the ground team and

329
00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:57,760
your crew members to make sure that you

330
00:13:01,350 --> 00:12:59,760
get those kinds of things all worked out

331
00:13:03,590 --> 00:13:01,360
that's a little a little bit difficult

332
00:13:05,269 --> 00:13:03,600
or challenging but again our training

333
00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:05,279
also kind of prepares us for dealing

334
00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:07,360
with those kinds of things but i'd say

335
00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:09,760
probably the hardest thing about a long

336
00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:11,760
duration space flight especially is

337
00:13:16,310 --> 00:13:14,720
being away from your family and i think

338
00:13:18,069 --> 00:13:16,320
it'll be a great day when we have

339
00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:18,079
families living and working in space

340
00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:19,519
together and it's just kind of one of

341
00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:21,600
those places you go to work every day

342
00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:23,279
and

343
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:24,720
but for me that was probably the hardest

344
00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:36,310
hi my name is abigail

345
00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:41,509
i was wondering whenever you were in

346
00:13:47,350 --> 00:13:44,399
elementary school like us

347
00:13:49,189 --> 00:13:47,360
like when you decided to be

348
00:13:50,389 --> 00:13:49,199
an astronaut

349
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:50,399
and why

350
00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:51,360
okay

351
00:13:55,350 --> 00:13:53,600
well in elementary school and it was

352
00:13:58,710 --> 00:13:55,360
actually one was i was

353
00:14:01,030 --> 00:13:58,720
what seven years old i think when we had

354
00:14:03,910 --> 00:14:01,040
the moon landing and i remember watching

355
00:14:06,949 --> 00:14:03,920
the moon landing when i was seven

356
00:14:08,629 --> 00:14:06,959
and um thinking like i said before

357
00:14:11,110 --> 00:14:08,639
thinking wow this is

358
00:14:12,949 --> 00:14:11,120
this was really cool how cool is it that

359
00:14:15,269 --> 00:14:12,959
you know that that dot of light i look

360
00:14:16,949 --> 00:14:15,279
at in in space at night

361
00:14:19,350 --> 00:14:16,959
that there's people up there

362
00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:19,360
but i have to tell you at that point i

363
00:14:22,230 --> 00:14:20,880
you know maybe i wasn't smart enough to

364
00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:22,240
think it or

365
00:14:26,470 --> 00:14:24,399
um or whatever but i i really didn't

366
00:14:28,230 --> 00:14:26,480
think that it was something i could do i

367
00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:28,240
you know for whatever reason

368
00:14:33,670 --> 00:14:31,600
and um like i said before too my my dad

369
00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:33,680
liked building airplanes and i spent a

370
00:14:36,629 --> 00:14:35,360
lot of time out at an airport where i

371
00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:36,639
saw what

372
00:14:40,710 --> 00:14:38,800
you know what flying was all about and

373
00:14:43,030 --> 00:14:40,720
that kind of thing and

374
00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:43,040
that was really very interesting to me

375
00:14:46,389 --> 00:14:44,880
and flying the first time and having

376
00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:46,399
that perspective just even from a little

377
00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:48,639
airplane seeing how cars look like you

378
00:14:52,949 --> 00:14:50,560
know matchbox cars and all that and that

379
00:14:54,629 --> 00:14:52,959
you get this different view on earth

380
00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:54,639
i think that's what kind of ultimately

381
00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:57,600
led me down the path of at least wanting

382
00:15:00,870 --> 00:14:58,800
to fly

383
00:15:02,870 --> 00:15:00,880
and ultimately thinking wow what better

384
00:15:05,829 --> 00:15:02,880
place to fly than space and really

385
00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:05,839
thankful that i i had a job at nasa

386
00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:06,639
where

387
00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:07,760
i was working with some of the

388
00:15:11,750 --> 00:15:10,000
spacecraft before i ever even applied to

389
00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:11,760
be an astronaut and could see what that

390
00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:14,240
was all about and work with the people

391
00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:16,480
that put all of those those amazing

392
00:15:20,629 --> 00:15:18,560
vehicles together and then later have

393
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:20,639
the opportunity to actually fly on them

394
00:15:24,550 --> 00:15:21,680
and i'm going to mention this because i

395
00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:24,560
have my shirt on for today my sts-128

396
00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:26,880
mission patch patches on this shirt and

397
00:15:30,949 --> 00:15:29,199
today was what what is it the fourth

398
00:15:32,230 --> 00:15:30,959
anniversary

399
00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:32,240
of the

400
00:15:37,030 --> 00:15:34,320
mission the sts-128 mission our first

401
00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:37,040
day in space so this is my little memory

402
00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:38,320
of

403
00:15:42,230 --> 00:15:40,160
trying to help me remember four years

404
00:15:45,269 --> 00:15:42,240
ago uh that really cool first time

405
00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:45,279
flying in space and i can tell you i'm

406
00:15:49,430 --> 00:15:46,880
thankful for the pictures and video

407
00:15:51,670 --> 00:15:49,440
because uh it's nice to go back and see

408
00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:51,680
just just how wonderful that was and you

409
00:15:54,150 --> 00:15:52,800
know i've got all the feelings and

410
00:15:55,670 --> 00:15:54,160
everything inside me about it my

411
00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:55,680
particular memories but to be able to go

412
00:15:59,269 --> 00:15:57,360
back and look at

413
00:16:00,870 --> 00:15:59,279
at that is pretty cool too and to still

414
00:16:03,910 --> 00:16:00,880
be in contact and friends with my

415
00:16:10,310 --> 00:16:03,920
crewmates is really neat as well

416
00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:11,910
hi my name is

417
00:16:16,629 --> 00:16:13,680
my question is what does it feel like

418
00:16:19,590 --> 00:16:16,639
when you're blasting off into space

419
00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:19,600
way awesome is what it feels like and uh

420
00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:21,120
and you you know you think you've got

421
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:22,480
yourself all prepared for what it's

422
00:16:26,150 --> 00:16:24,160
going to feel like and

423
00:16:28,870 --> 00:16:26,160
you know i worked at uh i worked at

424
00:16:30,790 --> 00:16:28,880
kennedy space center for a long a long

425
00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:30,800
time maybe longer than some of you were

426
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:32,720
are alive yet um

427
00:16:37,749 --> 00:16:34,720
and so i had the chance really the good

428
00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:37,759
fortune to watch a number of uh of

429
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:40,720
shuttle launches and other launches um

430
00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:42,720
from cape canaveral and things and so i

431
00:16:45,990 --> 00:16:44,399
always imagined what it would be like

432
00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:46,000
and i of course talked to

433
00:16:49,189 --> 00:16:47,759
other people who had done it to see what

434
00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:49,199
it feel like but let me just tell you

435
00:16:52,629 --> 00:16:50,880
that you have kind of this impression of

436
00:16:54,790 --> 00:16:52,639
what it's going to be and it's

437
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:54,800
this much more impressive than

438
00:16:58,710 --> 00:16:57,360
than you can ever imagine and it's just

439
00:17:01,269 --> 00:16:58,720
you know everything from the way it

440
00:17:03,509 --> 00:17:01,279
feels and sounds and what it's doing to

441
00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:03,519
your body and how you're shaking and

442
00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:07,039
woohoo in as you're going and then just

443
00:17:11,909 --> 00:17:08,880
after that eight or so minutes this just

444
00:17:14,549 --> 00:17:11,919
kind of beauty beautiful just relaxing

445
00:17:17,510 --> 00:17:14,559
comfortable floating quiet

446
00:17:19,669 --> 00:17:17,520
um ride once you're in orbit and

447
00:17:21,189 --> 00:17:19,679
it is it is an incredible ride

448
00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:21,199
and those of us who saw it in person you

449
00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:22,160
know obviously i've never been in there

450
00:17:24,789 --> 00:17:23,760
and nicole has but it but being at the

451
00:17:26,630 --> 00:17:24,799
kennedy space center watching these

452
00:17:28,230 --> 00:17:26,640
things lift off wasn't like anything you

453
00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:28,240
can even it's not like the movies it's

454
00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:30,160
not like you see on tv because you're

455
00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:32,080
about what four miles away when three

456
00:17:35,669 --> 00:17:33,919
four miles away and you see it before

457
00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:35,679
you hear it so you see it go off you see

458
00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:37,600
all the smoke and the vapor and and it's

459
00:17:40,710 --> 00:17:38,960
just a very bright light and then all of

460
00:17:42,310 --> 00:17:40,720
a sudden you start to kind of hear this

461
00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:42,320
rumble and then it just hits you like a

462
00:17:45,669 --> 00:17:43,760
wall i mean it is

463
00:17:46,950 --> 00:17:45,679
imagine the loudest train loudest

464
00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:46,960
airplane you've ever heard in your life

465
00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:48,720
and it just rattles you like crazy it's

466
00:17:52,150 --> 00:17:50,080
it's it's amazing and then it's over

467
00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:52,160
with i get goosebumps thinking about it

468
00:17:57,029 --> 00:17:53,520
yeah it's a good question watching it or

469
00:17:57,039 --> 00:18:03,029
thank you

470
00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:04,710
hi i'm joe

471
00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:10,710
what is the purpose of the

472
00:18:15,190 --> 00:18:12,960
international space station

473
00:18:16,549 --> 00:18:15,200
good question awesome question what is

474
00:18:18,710 --> 00:18:16,559
the purpose of the international space

475
00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:18,720
station well you know um

476
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:20,400
i think that you know the purpose over

477
00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:22,160
time has evolved but it's ultimately

478
00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:23,760
evolved to what the real purpose of the

479
00:18:27,510 --> 00:18:26,000
space station is you know we had tasks

480
00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:27,520
along the way while we were building the

481
00:18:31,909 --> 00:18:29,600
space station where we were really kind

482
00:18:34,150 --> 00:18:31,919
of proving out if we could even do this

483
00:18:36,789 --> 00:18:34,160
kind of thing this very complex thing in

484
00:18:38,789 --> 00:18:36,799
space not just as you know one country

485
00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:38,799
but as 15 countries putting all

486
00:18:43,510 --> 00:18:41,200
different kinds of hardware together and

487
00:18:45,510 --> 00:18:43,520
we very successfully met that challenge

488
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:45,520
and uh now we have this just this

489
00:18:50,230 --> 00:18:47,840
magnificent facility that's uh orbiting

490
00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:50,240
our earth every day and

491
00:18:54,150 --> 00:18:52,559
the the purpose of the space station is

492
00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:54,160
for us to

493
00:18:59,430 --> 00:18:56,480
live and work up there and to do the

494
00:19:01,669 --> 00:18:59,440
research that's necessary or that we

495
00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:01,679
can in this very unique zero-gravity

496
00:19:06,310 --> 00:19:03,919
environment that will help us learn more

497
00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:06,320
about how we can live better here on

498
00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:09,120
earth but also how we can further

499
00:19:13,909 --> 00:19:12,000
explore outside of low earth orbit

500
00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:13,919
and it is just a magnificent place for

501
00:19:19,190 --> 00:19:16,720
doing this it's i when i was up there

502
00:19:20,230 --> 00:19:19,200
i think on a daily basis we had over a

503
00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:20,240
hundred

504
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:21,840
active investigations going on yeah

505
00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:23,520
they've got 200 now yeah and that's and

506
00:19:26,150 --> 00:19:24,880
that's whether you know i mean a crew

507
00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:26,160
member could be interfacing with it

508
00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:28,320
directly you know actually working the

509
00:19:31,909 --> 00:19:30,080
the science experiment like you guys do

510
00:19:33,029 --> 00:19:31,919
i'm sure in some of your science classes

511
00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:33,039
in school

512
00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:35,760
or um helping the people on the ground

513
00:19:41,110 --> 00:19:38,400
work the the experiment on board

514
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:41,120
and and that's everything from learning

515
00:19:45,270 --> 00:19:43,360
more about our our own bodies and

516
00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:45,280
learning about how fuels burn more

517
00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:48,240
efficiently how materials are developed

518
00:19:51,270 --> 00:19:49,520
how

519
00:19:53,190 --> 00:19:51,280
i mean every science area you can

520
00:19:55,029 --> 00:19:53,200
imagine is being investigated in some

521
00:19:56,630 --> 00:19:55,039
way onboard the space station and it's

522
00:19:58,710 --> 00:19:56,640
because it provides

523
00:20:00,710 --> 00:19:58,720
a very unique environment for looking at

524
00:20:02,710 --> 00:20:00,720
things and how they work

525
00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:02,720
in a way that we just can't do here on

526
00:20:06,630 --> 00:20:04,480
earth and so it gives us all kinds of

527
00:20:07,990 --> 00:20:06,640
new and interesting answers to things

528
00:20:09,350 --> 00:20:08,000
that whole thing we talked about with

529
00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:09,360
the water

530
00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:11,679
i mean you look at water in space and

531
00:20:15,190 --> 00:20:13,280
what it does and how it sticks to your

532
00:20:16,710 --> 00:20:15,200
hands and how it and then scientists are

533
00:20:19,270 --> 00:20:16,720
thinking about well in space we could

534
00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:19,280
use water or some other liquid in a very

535
00:20:24,549 --> 00:20:21,840
different way than we do here on earth

536
00:20:26,789 --> 00:20:24,559
perhaps to simplify the way we

537
00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:26,799
build rocket engines and lubricate

538
00:20:30,549 --> 00:20:28,799
things why have big ball metal ball

539
00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:30,559
bearings lubricating a system if you

540
00:20:34,230 --> 00:20:32,080
could have a liquid that does that

541
00:20:35,909 --> 00:20:34,240
because it behaves differently in space

542
00:20:37,909 --> 00:20:35,919
or the way crystals grow they grow

543
00:20:39,909 --> 00:20:37,919
perfectly in the 0g environment and we

544
00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:39,919
can learn more and more things about

545
00:20:44,789 --> 00:20:42,000
how our bodies work and

546
00:20:46,789 --> 00:20:44,799
how medicines can be made or solving you

547
00:20:49,350 --> 00:20:46,799
know just really cool problems because

548
00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:49,360
we have this this this laboratory in

549
00:20:53,029 --> 00:20:51,360
space to do that and

550
00:20:54,870 --> 00:20:53,039
and that ultimately is the purpose this

551
00:20:56,549 --> 00:20:54,880
laboratory in space to help us

552
00:20:58,950 --> 00:20:56,559
live better here on earth and figure out

553
00:21:00,630 --> 00:20:58,960
how to explore outside of earth's

554
00:21:07,190 --> 00:21:00,640
atmosphere as well

555
00:21:13,430 --> 00:21:10,390
hi my name is jade and how long does it

556
00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:13,440
take to um to be an astronaut

557
00:21:16,630 --> 00:21:15,200
how long does it take to be an astronaut

558
00:21:18,310 --> 00:21:16,640
well um

559
00:21:19,990 --> 00:21:18,320
you know you start in school kind of

560
00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:20,000
right where you guys are right now and a

561
00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:22,080
lot of it has to do with you know paying

562
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:24,080
attention to the stuff you enjoy doing

563
00:21:28,710 --> 00:21:24,960
and

564
00:21:29,909 --> 00:21:28,720
who are astronauts or actually i think

565
00:21:32,230 --> 00:21:29,919
most you know we're in this mission

566
00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:32,240
control center here now too with the

567
00:21:36,549 --> 00:21:34,080
folks that that support the astronauts

568
00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:36,559
that are on the space station it was all

569
00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:38,240
about taking those interests that you

570
00:21:42,710 --> 00:21:41,120
have in science and math and you know

571
00:21:44,549 --> 00:21:42,720
engineering and maybe not even knowing

572
00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:44,559
that it was an interest in science and

573
00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:47,039
engineering and math at that time but

574
00:21:50,710 --> 00:21:48,880
paying attention to those things

575
00:21:53,029 --> 00:21:50,720
and letting that be what helps guide you

576
00:21:55,590 --> 00:21:53,039
through school and stuff and and for me

577
00:21:57,669 --> 00:21:55,600
i think the flying thing was was the big

578
00:21:59,590 --> 00:21:57,679
thing i was interested in and so wanting

579
00:22:01,430 --> 00:21:59,600
to know how things fly

580
00:22:03,510 --> 00:22:01,440
wanting to um

581
00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:03,520
figure out how to build things that fly

582
00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:05,120
and maybe then one day flying them

583
00:22:08,789 --> 00:22:07,840
myself was the thing that motivated me

584
00:22:10,470 --> 00:22:08,799
so

585
00:22:13,270 --> 00:22:10,480
there's a lot of kind of basic things

586
00:22:14,789 --> 00:22:13,280
you have to do in school to qualify to

587
00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:14,799
even interview as an astronaut and

588
00:22:17,270 --> 00:22:15,760
that's

589
00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:17,280
i think very well documented on our

590
00:22:20,390 --> 00:22:18,960
website you can go on science math and

591
00:22:23,029 --> 00:22:20,400
science math yeah math and science math

592
00:22:25,029 --> 00:22:23,039
and science and it is fun

593
00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:25,039
and uh but there's you know there's

594
00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:26,640
really good information on the website

595
00:22:30,310 --> 00:22:28,480
about you know what it takes to apply

596
00:22:33,510 --> 00:22:30,320
and a lot of that is just you know a

597
00:22:35,909 --> 00:22:33,520
degree in a math or science um

598
00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:35,919
area of study and then working in that

599
00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:38,400
area for a while a couple years i've

600
00:22:42,149 --> 00:22:39,760
seen people that have come straight out

601
00:22:44,390 --> 00:22:42,159
of their university work and

602
00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:44,400
been selected as astronauts but it's

603
00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:46,480
really kind of a focused science and

604
00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:48,240
math driven thing

605
00:22:51,909 --> 00:22:50,080
but you got to enjoy what you're doing

606
00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:51,919
along the way and

607
00:22:56,390 --> 00:22:54,400
that'll take you down those paths of

608
00:22:57,990 --> 00:22:56,400
of engineering math science if that's if

609
00:22:59,270 --> 00:22:58,000
that's what you're all about

610
00:23:00,630 --> 00:22:59,280
that's the i think that's what everybody

611
00:23:01,909 --> 00:23:00,640
always says you got to go find something

612
00:23:03,830 --> 00:23:01,919
that you love to do and you guys have

613
00:23:05,430 --> 00:23:03,840
plenty of time to do that but you know

614
00:23:06,950 --> 00:23:05,440
life is too short to have a boring job

615
00:23:08,470 --> 00:23:06,960
so good friends go find something that

616
00:23:09,909 --> 00:23:08,480
you really like to do and

617
00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:09,919
uh it's interesting what happens to you

618
00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:19,510
hello my name is emma

619
00:23:25,909 --> 00:23:21,520
my question is why does nasa trade off

620
00:23:27,750 --> 00:23:25,919
astronauts to go to a space stationary

621
00:23:30,149 --> 00:23:27,760
okay so why does nasa trade off

622
00:23:32,310 --> 00:23:30,159
astronauts to go to the space station so

623
00:23:34,310 --> 00:23:32,320
so right now we have six crew members on

624
00:23:36,070 --> 00:23:34,320
board and three of them are about to

625
00:23:37,190 --> 00:23:36,080
come home september 10th then a couple

626
00:23:40,310 --> 00:23:37,200
weeks here

627
00:23:43,350 --> 00:23:40,320
so um we do that because

628
00:23:45,510 --> 00:23:43,360
um first of all we have um spacecraft

629
00:23:47,909 --> 00:23:45,520
that have kind of a limited lifetime on

630
00:23:49,669 --> 00:23:47,919
board and so you know they have what is

631
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:49,679
about seven months worth of time that

632
00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:51,440
they can stay up on the space station

633
00:23:55,590 --> 00:23:53,600
before the spaceship that you rode up on

634
00:23:57,750 --> 00:23:55,600
needs to come back so that kind of

635
00:23:59,909 --> 00:23:57,760
drives the amount of time that the

636
00:24:00,950 --> 00:23:59,919
astronauts can stay up there too

637
00:24:02,870 --> 00:24:00,960
and so

638
00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:02,880
each of those spacecraft has a seat for

639
00:24:06,950 --> 00:24:04,480
three and three of the people come down

640
00:24:09,110 --> 00:24:06,960
and then three more people go up and so

641
00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:09,120
so there's that piece of it but there's

642
00:24:12,789 --> 00:24:11,120
also the um

643
00:24:14,950 --> 00:24:12,799
the piece that says we want to rotate

644
00:24:16,630 --> 00:24:14,960
people through so we get a different

645
00:24:19,110 --> 00:24:16,640
experience base up there we have

646
00:24:22,549 --> 00:24:19,120
different people living working in space

647
00:24:25,110 --> 00:24:22,559
and uh that that experience thing

648
00:24:27,029 --> 00:24:25,120
and then we also have um

649
00:24:29,909 --> 00:24:27,039
you know there's there's things about

650
00:24:32,230 --> 00:24:29,919
the environment in space that uh make us

651
00:24:34,149 --> 00:24:32,240
want to limit the amount of time we have

652
00:24:36,950 --> 00:24:34,159
people up there so right now with what

653
00:24:38,789 --> 00:24:36,960
we know about how our bodies uh respond

654
00:24:41,510 --> 00:24:38,799
to space whether that's you know the way

655
00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:41,520
our m our muscles and our bones uh react

656
00:24:45,669 --> 00:24:43,760
to being in space or

657
00:24:48,549 --> 00:24:45,679
our cardiac you know the way our heart

658
00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:48,559
and um our other systems respond

659
00:24:53,190 --> 00:24:51,200
we are managing that as well and and six

660
00:24:55,750 --> 00:24:53,200
months really seems to be the kind of

661
00:24:57,909 --> 00:24:55,760
time that um cycling uh astronauts to

662
00:24:59,269 --> 00:24:57,919
the space station is best now we do have

663
00:25:01,830 --> 00:24:59,279
so many some astronauts that are going

664
00:25:03,190 --> 00:25:01,840
to be going up for a year

665
00:25:04,630 --> 00:25:03,200
and um

666
00:25:06,070 --> 00:25:04,640
and that will give us the opportunity to

667
00:25:08,390 --> 00:25:06,080
look you know a little bit differently

668
00:25:10,549 --> 00:25:08,400
at how how crew members and you know and

669
00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:10,559
human beings will respond to that space

670
00:25:14,390 --> 00:25:12,720
environment and because of what we've

671
00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:14,400
done with crew members prior to this we

672
00:25:18,070 --> 00:25:16,480
feel very comfortable sending somebody

673
00:25:19,669 --> 00:25:18,080
there for a year and allowing them to

674
00:25:20,870 --> 00:25:19,679
experience that way and then we'll just

675
00:25:22,310 --> 00:25:20,880
rotate our vehicles a little bit

676
00:25:24,950 --> 00:25:22,320
differently so that you're not going up

677
00:25:26,870 --> 00:25:24,960
and coming down on the same one yeah

678
00:25:28,870 --> 00:25:26,880
i think that was our last question i

679
00:25:29,990 --> 00:25:28,880
believe so we want to thank you

680
00:25:31,350 --> 00:25:30,000
our friends in there at mcquarter

681
00:25:33,669 --> 00:25:31,360
elementary you're not very far away from

682
00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:33,679
us here uh at the johnson space center

683
00:25:36,950 --> 00:25:35,120
so we hope you guys come and say hi

684
00:25:38,230 --> 00:25:36,960
sometime and take a look at this

685
00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:38,240
awesome room that we're sitting in right

686
00:25:40,630 --> 00:25:39,440
now this is the mission control center

687
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:40,640
where they control everything onboard

688
00:25:43,750 --> 00:25:42,400
the space station so come by and and

689
00:25:44,950 --> 00:25:43,760
take a look at it maybe you'll have one

690
00:25:45,830 --> 00:25:44,960
of these jobs one time or maybe you'll

691
00:25:47,029 --> 00:25:45,840
be like

692
00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:47,039
nicole over here and actually fly into

693
00:25:50,230 --> 00:25:48,880
space a couple times so thank you guys

694
00:25:52,549 --> 00:25:50,240
for joining us have a good day study

695
00:25:54,549 --> 00:25:52,559
hard and have a good semester thanks for
