00:00:05,829 --> 00:00:02,070
station this is houston are you ready

2
00:00:09,030 --> 00:00:07,430
houston this is station we are ready for

3
00:00:10,629 --> 00:00:09,040
the event

4
00:00:12,549 --> 00:00:10,639
south by southwest this is mission

5
00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:12,559
control houston please call station for

6
00:00:15,430 --> 00:00:13,920
a voice check

7
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:15,440
station this is south by southwest how

8
00:00:30,310 --> 00:00:21,269
and south by southwest we hear you loud

9
00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:32,389
hi um it's a real honor to get to talk

10
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:34,480
with you um thank you for taking our

11
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:37,280
questions my name is kyle jones i am an

12
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:39,840
earthling from nashville tennessee

13
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:41,840
um despite all your training and

14
00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:43,440
preparation what is something you did

15
00:00:49,670 --> 00:00:45,920
not expect from your experience in space

16
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:51,510
yeah that's a that's a great question

17
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:53,840
and i think for me

18
00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:56,399
you know this was my first flight and so

19
00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:57,760
the biggest difference or what you

20
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:59,199
really can't train for is actually

21
00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:00,640
floating and what it's like to be in

22
00:01:05,350 --> 00:01:02,879
microgravity all the time

23
00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:05,360
see we can get just a few seconds during

24
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:07,360
the training during the

25
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:09,600
operations with her practicing for evas

26
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:12,080
spacewalks we use the pool but it

27
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,000
doesn't give you that true feeling of

28
00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:16,320
what it's like to be in microgravity and

29
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:18,000
and so that takes some time to get used

30
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:28,630
thank you

31
00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:31,749
hi i'm dan edwards from atlanta georgia

32
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:33,680
and uh my six-year-old son has a

33
00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:34,960
question for you

34
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:44,630
that's a very good question we we see a

35
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:47,040
lot of uh activities of volcanic

36
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:48,159
activities

37
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:50,720
and when there's an eruption uh ground

38
00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:52,720
folks tell us to take pictures and we

39
00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:54,720
were able to capture a lot of volcanic

40
00:02:00,149 --> 00:01:57,280
activities it's really vivid and it's

41
00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:00,159
sometimes very amazing view to see the

42
00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:02,560
the air and water

43
00:02:08,869 --> 00:02:06,399
vapors coming out of the volcanoes

44
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:08,879
thank you

45
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:11,680
hi uh i'm tea parade i'm rod uh i have

46
00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:14,560
two questions for you uh one is what

47
00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:16,640
kind of mission are you working on right

48
00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:18,800
now and the other one is how do you keep

49
00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:26,790
okay keeping in touch with our family

50
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:28,560
well that's an easy one we have lots of

51
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:31,120
ways to communicate with our family we

52
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:32,879
actually have a telephone on board where

53
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:34,720
we could we can call our families at

54
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:35,760
pretty much

55
00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:37,760
almost any time of the day and then

56
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:39,920
about once a week we do a video

57
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:42,640
conference with our family and of course

58
00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:45,200
we have email so we could stay in touch

59
00:02:47,589 --> 00:02:46,800
with our friends and our family quite a

60
00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:47,599
bit

61
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:49,440
your other question is what is our

62
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:50,480
mission

63
00:02:54,790 --> 00:02:52,720
uh well basically we're doing science

64
00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:54,800
and research up here we have

65
00:02:58,949 --> 00:02:56,879
probably about 200 experiments will go

66
00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:58,959
on while we're up here for the six month

67
00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:00,080
period

68
00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:02,480
and it ranges everything from biology to

69
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:04,959
earth observation to looking for a dark

70
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:07,280
matter in in in deep space so it's a

71
00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:08,879
wide range of experiments going on at

72
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:10,720
any time

73
00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:18,390
hello this is peggy hazley from planet

74
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:21,680
earth i just had to say that and uh i

75
00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:23,760
was wondering what sleep is like in

76
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:26,720
outer space can you describe what it's

77
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:28,400
like to sleep when you don't have day

78
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:30,239
and night what's happening to your

79
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:33,440
circadian rhythms to your dreams do you

80
00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:35,920
snore differently what's it like out

81
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:43,589
well hi peggy from earth

82
00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:45,910
you know sleeping up here is actually is

83
00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:47,920
actually quite comfortable um of course

84
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:49,040
as i was saying earlier in the

85
00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:50,640
microgravity environment there's no up

86
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,239
or down so we don't have a bed that we

87
00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:54,640
lay on or a cot or anything like that we

88
00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:56,319
have our little cubicle that's about the

89
00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:59,599
size of a broom closet and in there we

90
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:01,120
have a sleeping bag and we just attach

91
00:04:04,949 --> 00:04:02,239
it to the wall

92
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:04,959
and um as far as how do we know when

93
00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:06,640
it's time to go to bed and all that well

94
00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:09,519
we're on gmt time up here greenwich mean

95
00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:12,480
time and so we just uh go by the clock

96
00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:15,680
and so about uh 10 to 10 to 11 o'clock

97
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:17,040
at night uh

98
00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:18,880
whoever someone will turn out all of the

99
00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:20,639
lights and that kind of is a good

100
00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:22,400
indication that it's time for us to to

101
00:04:27,909 --> 00:04:25,360
go to sleep um and it's actually quite

102
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:27,919
dark and quite comfortable inside our

103
00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:29,840
quarters and then you just crawl in your

104
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:31,919
sleeping bag and you uh i mean it's

105
00:04:35,110 --> 00:04:33,680
really up to you some people like to

106
00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:35,120
when they sleep they'll have their arms

107
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:36,880
kind of hanging out and they'll float

108
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:39,040
some people like to be more of cocooned

109
00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:41,040
inside and it's actually quite

110
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:42,720
comfortable

111
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:47,990
hi i'm nicola from london i'm also on

112
00:04:51,990 --> 00:04:50,720
gmt time and this is

113
00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:52,000
one of the most exciting things that's

114
00:05:02,469 --> 00:04:54,479
ever happened um my question is what

115
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:03,990
yeah actually

116
00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,160
i hope we don't smell very much

117
00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:08,720
in the space station but i can tell you

118
00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:11,680
when rick and mike went out to spacewalk

119
00:05:16,629 --> 00:05:14,080
when they came back i could smell the

120
00:05:19,590 --> 00:05:16,639
space of the vacuum it probably comes

121
00:05:21,350 --> 00:05:19,600
from some external surface of the space

122
00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:21,360
station and

123
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:24,880
it's some mechanical smell and it's very

124
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:27,520
unique as soon as we open the hatch when

125
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:29,840
they came in after a spacewalk i smell

126
00:05:34,150 --> 00:05:32,240
that so that's a very unique smell but

127
00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:34,160
other than that i think inside of the

128
00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:36,160
space station we have really good air

129
00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:38,400
circulation ventilation so it doesn't

130
00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:40,639
smell very differently from from the

131
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:42,320
ground

132
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:46,950
hello my name is joe curry my question

133
00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:48,880
is what are some ways nasa can inspire

134
00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:50,639
students to be our future scientists and

135
00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:01,029
well we like to inspire folks on a daily

136
00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:02,880
basis up here that's one of the reasons

137
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:04,960
why we we communicate with folks in

138
00:06:09,189 --> 00:06:07,120
these events right now is to try to

139
00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:09,199
inspire folks to motivate folks to show

140
00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:11,600
them uh what's possible you know when i

141
00:06:14,629 --> 00:06:13,199
was growing up i never knew that i could

142
00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:14,639
be an astronaut until i saw an

143
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:16,240
advertisement in a magazine and i

144
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:18,000
answered that ad of course it took me

145
00:06:23,430 --> 00:06:20,240
nine years of hard work and applications

146
00:06:25,909 --> 00:06:23,440
to eventually get selected but nasa is

147
00:06:28,070 --> 00:06:25,919
one of the main reasons for nasa is to

148
00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:28,080
promote math promote science to

149
00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:30,960
encourage students to study hard and to

150
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:33,280
go into engineering and technologies and

151
00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:34,800
things like that so

152
00:06:38,870 --> 00:06:36,880
nasa does a lot of things

153
00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:38,880
to try to do that for students we have a

154
00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:41,440
lot of outreach programs for teachers in

155
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:43,120
outreach student outreach programs for

156
00:06:48,469 --> 00:06:46,000
students on and and astronauts even go

157
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:48,479
off and do pao events and visit schools

158
00:06:58,710 --> 00:06:50,400
on a regular basis so nasa's doing quite

159
00:07:01,909 --> 00:06:59,830
hello

160
00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:01,919
my name is miriam langston and i work in

161
00:07:09,510 --> 00:07:07,990
my question is

162
00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:09,520
if you could travel

163
00:07:17,189 --> 00:07:11,840
to anywhere in the universe where would

164
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:18,870
well that's uh that's pretty easy it'd

165
00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:20,720
be earth

166
00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:22,400
you know being being away from earth

167
00:07:25,749 --> 00:07:24,000
this is an absolutely incredible

168
00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:25,759
experience and and it's something i'll

169
00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:28,240
never forget but i'm getting ready to

170
00:07:31,589 --> 00:07:29,919
come home on monday night and i'm

171
00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:31,599
looking forward to it

172
00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:33,120
you know you see the views of earth up

173
00:07:37,189 --> 00:07:35,199
here and it is truly stunning and it's

174
00:07:39,909 --> 00:07:37,199
something that never gets old but at the

175
00:07:41,749 --> 00:07:39,919
same time i'm really looking forward to

176
00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:41,759
feeling the earth between my toes

177
00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:43,520
feeling a breeze

178
00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:45,280
maybe even standing out in a rainstorm

179
00:07:50,869 --> 00:07:47,680
so earth is is truly incredible and i

180
00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:52,390
thank you it was an honor to speak with

181
00:08:03,270 --> 00:08:00,790

187
00:09:01,990 --> 00:08:59,360
okay

188
00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:02,000
we still hear you loud and clear

189
00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:05,600
and we have not heard the last question

190
00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:07,360
could you repeat

191
00:09:11,750 --> 00:09:09,440
i got it

192
00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:11,760
right yes

193
00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:14,000
okay cool thank you

194
00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:16,640
she took a selfie with you

195
00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:19,680
just like at the oscars

196
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:20,720
hi

197
00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:24,160
jersey you guys are awesome

198
00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:26,480
and my question is

199
00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:29,279
at earth we all are always stressed

200
00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:31,040
do you get stressed up in space how do

201
00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:41,670
yeah uh actually all of us onboard the

202
00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:43,680
space station go through the emergency

203
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:46,080
medical training like a cpr and an

204
00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:48,560
injury treatment and in case of a

205
00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:50,480
medical emergency happens we follow a

206
00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:52,959
procedure to to treat and we also have a

207
00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:55,600
real-time support from the flight

208
00:09:59,670 --> 00:09:57,920
surgeons on the ground so we will be

209
00:10:01,350 --> 00:09:59,680
able to cope with that kind of emergency

210
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:01,360
situation

211
00:10:11,590 --> 00:10:09,190
hello i'm ben from here in austin texas

212
00:10:14,069 --> 00:10:11,600
and i was curious if you guys

213
00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:14,079
had any protection from cosmic radiation

214
00:10:18,069 --> 00:10:15,200
up there

215
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:18,079
if the magnetosphere protects you since

216
00:10:21,990 --> 00:10:20,160
you're above the ionosphere just just

217
00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:22,000
worried about that my wife is a flight

218
00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:23,360
attendant and i kind of worry about her

219
00:10:32,790 --> 00:10:25,120
when she's up in the plains but you guys

220
00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:33,990
well we don't have any special

221
00:10:37,509 --> 00:10:35,600
protection you know the obviously the

222
00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:37,519
structure protects us a little bit but

223
00:10:41,910 --> 00:10:39,600
no we are above the protection of the

224
00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:41,920
atmosphere so we do absorb uh quite a

225
00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,480
bit of radiation but we monitor that

226
00:10:47,910 --> 00:10:46,480
monitor that very closely we have

227
00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:47,920
radiation monitors throughout the

228
00:10:51,269 --> 00:10:49,760
vehicle we have radiation monitors that

229
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:51,279
we have to carry on our person at all

230
00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:54,720
time and then that num those numbers are

231
00:10:59,670 --> 00:10:57,760
are added up over our lifetime and if we

232
00:11:03,509 --> 00:10:59,680
exceed a certain radiation limit then

233
00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:04,949
thank you

234
00:11:14,949 --> 00:11:11,509
hi gentlemen my name is christine and

235
00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:14,959
i'm from atlanta um so my question is

236
00:11:18,069 --> 00:11:16,240
this is something you just kind of

237
00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:18,079
addressed a little bit but things that

238
00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:20,560
you're missing about earth about you

239
00:11:24,069 --> 00:11:22,240
know just your normal kind of daily

240
00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:24,079
creature comforts if there's anything in

241
00:11:27,829 --> 00:11:26,480
particular that you're sort of surprised

242
00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:27,839
that you missed while you've been up

243
00:11:33,269 --> 00:11:29,279
there other than of course friends and

244
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:34,630
yeah actually

245
00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:36,720
there are things that you do miss and

246
00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:38,480
i'd say one of them that i miss is a

247
00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:39,760
shower

248
00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:44,160
so when we clean up we just we use a wet

249
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:47,040
cloth to uh to wash off and then a towel

250
00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:49,360
to dry off but uh i can't wait to have

251
00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:50,800
that shower and the other thing we get

252
00:11:54,389 --> 00:11:53,200
occasionally but not as often as as i'd

253
00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:54,399
like and that's the fresh fruit

254
00:11:58,310 --> 00:11:56,399
sometimes we're fresh produce

255
00:12:00,069 --> 00:11:58,320
when we have a resupply vehicle we'll

256
00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:00,079
usually get a little bit but it doesn't

257
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:02,880
last very long

258
00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:05,360
thank you i get richard just and

259
00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:13,350
hi hello i'm jenny from denver and i'm

260
00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:14,480
in the running for one of the bigger

261
00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:16,000
space geeks in the room i went to space

262
00:12:19,509 --> 00:12:17,600
camp three times

263
00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:19,519
as a child so

264
00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:22,240
i might pass out

265
00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:24,399
right now

266
00:12:28,949 --> 00:12:26,720
um i just wondered if you guys have ever

267
00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:28,959
been really scared while you were on an

268
00:12:41,990 --> 00:12:38,870
it's okay to admit it have i ever been

269
00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:42,000
scared on a on a space walk uh

270
00:12:46,550 --> 00:12:44,000
i've done a few space walks and i can't

271
00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:46,560
say that i've ever been scared but uh

272
00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:48,160
there there is a bit of pressure when

273
00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:49,600
you're out there

274
00:12:53,430 --> 00:12:51,279
because of the you know you're working

275
00:12:56,069 --> 00:12:53,440
on multi-billion dollar hardware it's

276
00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:56,079
very easy to do something wrong or break

277
00:12:58,790 --> 00:12:57,440
something and you've got the whole world

278
00:13:00,790 --> 00:12:58,800
watching you it feels like so there's a

279
00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:00,800
lot of pressure on you to of course to

280
00:13:04,790 --> 00:13:03,360
perform and to do things correctly i've

281
00:13:07,509 --> 00:13:04,800
never been scared but we definitely

282
00:13:09,590 --> 00:13:07,519
worry while we're out there

283
00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:09,600
have you ever messed up or dropped

284
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,110
do we have to admit that

285
00:13:24,389 --> 00:13:21,590
um yeah you know we we actually

286
00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:24,399
mistakes are making all the time um and

287
00:13:27,829 --> 00:13:26,160
and hopefully they're minor but that's

288
00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:27,839
one of the things that that we train for

289
00:13:33,269 --> 00:13:30,160
as well is when you do make a mistake

290
00:13:35,750 --> 00:13:33,279
you you've got to uh go get past it

291
00:13:37,910 --> 00:13:35,760
fix whatever that maybe you did wrong

292
00:13:40,550 --> 00:13:37,920
and keep going because if it happens

293
00:13:41,829 --> 00:13:40,560
early on in the in a six hour eva you

294
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:41,839
know you've got a lot of work to do and

295
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:43,440
you can't sit there and worry about

296
00:13:47,189 --> 00:13:44,959
something that didn't go quite right

297
00:13:49,110 --> 00:13:47,199
earlier on

298
00:13:53,670 --> 00:13:49,120
wonderful thank you so much you guys

299
00:13:58,949 --> 00:13:56,470
hi my name is taylor eden i'm a total

300
00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:58,959
space nut since my fiance um

301
00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:00,639
did an internship at spacex so he's

302
00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:02,160
probably going to kill me after i tell

303
00:14:06,629 --> 00:14:04,480
my guy to talk to astronauts

304
00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:06,639
my question for you is do you get on

305
00:14:10,310 --> 00:14:08,560
social networks while you're in orbit

306
00:14:11,590 --> 00:14:10,320
and how do you communicate with you know

307
00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:11,600
your friends and family down here on

308
00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:13,440
earth are you sending snapchats or you

309
00:14:15,670 --> 00:14:14,160
know

310
00:14:22,230 --> 00:14:15,680
selfies on instagram or anything like

311
00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:24,470
yeah we uh actually uh tweet a lot and

312
00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:26,800
they uh you know facebook that we use

313
00:14:29,670 --> 00:14:28,000
and then uh

314
00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:29,680
actually we take a lot of pictures of

315
00:14:33,910 --> 00:14:31,839
the earth and what we do in the space

316
00:14:36,790 --> 00:14:33,920
station outside of the space station and

317
00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:36,800
tweet and then send a message and then

318
00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:39,120
actually a lot of people uh retweet and

319
00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:40,800
uh you know replied to our tweets and

320
00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:43,360
it's really uh i am really thankful to

321
00:14:48,150 --> 00:14:46,720
to see the reaction of the public and i

322
00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:48,160
hope we are

323
00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:50,320
extending this excitement of what we do

324
00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:52,560
in space through the social media

325
00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:54,320
and as far as the communication with the

326
00:14:59,269 --> 00:14:56,639
family as rick mentioned we have really

327
00:15:02,550 --> 00:14:59,279
great tools to communicate with a family

328
00:15:04,629 --> 00:15:02,560
telephone video conference and email so

329
00:15:07,829 --> 00:15:04,639
i think we are really keep in touch with

330
00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:07,839
the family on a daily basis

331
00:15:17,350 --> 00:15:15,670
hi my name is uh richard just i'm super

332
00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:17,360
excited to be here today to you guys

333
00:15:22,069 --> 00:15:20,000
just now um i was wondering how did it

334
00:15:24,949 --> 00:15:22,079
feel the first time you saw earth from

335
00:15:31,749 --> 00:15:24,959
space and has being in space change the

336
00:15:35,910 --> 00:15:33,910
yeah it's um you know that's a tough

337
00:15:38,230 --> 00:15:35,920
question to answer it's it's a bit

338
00:15:39,749 --> 00:15:38,240
overwhelming

339
00:15:41,350 --> 00:15:39,759
because you just you know you see

340
00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:41,360
pictures of it but when you when you see

341
00:15:44,629 --> 00:15:42,320
it

342
00:15:46,629 --> 00:15:44,639
live and and really um we talked about

343
00:15:48,310 --> 00:15:46,639
the spacewalks and that's and that's one

344
00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:48,320
of the most amazing things about a

345
00:15:51,509 --> 00:15:49,920
spacewalk as well you know when we look

346
00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:51,519
at the earth through the cupola you've

347
00:15:54,230 --> 00:15:52,880
got the windows that you're looking

348
00:15:55,590 --> 00:15:54,240
through and so there's frame and

349
00:15:57,269 --> 00:15:55,600
everything around it so your views can

350
00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:57,279
be somewhat limited but when you go

351
00:16:01,030 --> 00:15:59,600
outside on a on a space walk in and all

352
00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:01,040
you have is just the visor of your

353
00:16:05,509 --> 00:16:04,000
helmet which uh you know you can just

354
00:16:07,910 --> 00:16:05,519
just see the earth

355
00:16:09,749 --> 00:16:07,920
the incredible expanse of the earth

356
00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:09,759
it's amazing and does it change your

357
00:16:12,870 --> 00:16:11,440
perspective on it uh yeah i think

358
00:16:14,389 --> 00:16:12,880
there's a couple things that that you

359
00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:14,399
notice about it

360
00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:16,000
one i would say that you don't see any

361
00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:18,480
borders and and so i think that's uh

362
00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:19,920
that's a good thing and that you know

363
00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:22,079
we're all part of this uh one planet and

364
00:16:27,269 --> 00:16:25,440
uh and so uh you know i think it changes

365
00:16:29,269 --> 00:16:27,279
your your outlook on that

366
00:16:31,110 --> 00:16:29,279
and um

367
00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:31,120
and what else uh

368
00:16:35,269 --> 00:16:32,720
you know the other the other part is you

369
00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:35,279
just realize um how how precious our

370
00:16:39,670 --> 00:16:37,600
planet is and and how important it is to

371
00:16:43,350 --> 00:16:39,680
take care of it

372
00:16:47,269 --> 00:16:45,430
hi this is uh daniel fisher from london

373
00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:47,279
england this is a huge childhood dream

374
00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:48,800
come true so thank you

375
00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:51,680
my question is how much have life

376
00:16:56,389 --> 00:16:53,759
support systems changed on

377
00:17:04,549 --> 00:16:56,399
space station in the last few years

378
00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:06,230
yeah the biggest probably the biggest

379
00:17:10,309 --> 00:17:08,880
changes that we have incorporated into

380
00:17:13,029 --> 00:17:10,319
the space station is we're trying to

381
00:17:15,429 --> 00:17:13,039
recycle everything we're recycling the

382
00:17:17,669 --> 00:17:15,439
water so you know we drink the water

383
00:17:19,669 --> 00:17:17,679
that we urinate we sweat the

384
00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:19,679
condensation is collected that water is

385
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:21,839
purified and then we drink it again but

386
00:17:25,669 --> 00:17:23,520
it's probably it's purified probably

387
00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:25,679
more pure than any water that i've ever

388
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:28,720
drank before so the air is recycled of

389
00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:30,960
course continuously the co2 is scrubbed

390
00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:34,000
out and recycled so i think the kind of

391
00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:35,440
things that we're seeing on board space

392
00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:36,720
station we're trying to recycle

393
00:17:40,710 --> 00:17:38,080
everything because if we go off to the

394
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:40,720
moon or if we go off to the mars to mars

395
00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:43,120
or an asteroid we can't carry all the

396
00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:44,960
water that a person needs to drink on a

397
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:46,240
daily basis we need to be able to

398
00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:48,160
recycle we can't carry all the air it's

399
00:17:51,830 --> 00:17:50,240
just too much weight too much mass too

400
00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:51,840
much volume so we have to learn to

401
00:17:56,549 --> 00:17:54,080
recycle and of course these technologies

402
00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:56,559
apply to earth we could recycle water

403
00:18:00,630 --> 00:17:58,320
the technologies we develop up here can

404
00:18:02,070 --> 00:18:00,640
be used to recycle water back on planet

405
00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:02,080
earth because eventually we're going to

406
00:18:14,150 --> 00:18:12,390
my name is haley fick and i'm from

407
00:18:16,150 --> 00:18:14,160
houston texas i'm actually an intern at

408
00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:16,160
johnson space center and this is a

409
00:18:19,590 --> 00:18:17,520
popular question a lot of people are

410
00:18:21,669 --> 00:18:19,600
wondering about what did you think about

411
00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:21,679
the movie gravity were there situations

412
00:18:29,190 --> 00:18:23,200
that were realistic or was it all

413
00:18:34,070 --> 00:18:31,590
actually uh just before uh rick and i

414
00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:34,080
launched uh huppo was already there but

415
00:18:39,909 --> 00:18:36,880
uh we watched the movie in russia

416
00:18:42,549 --> 00:18:39,919
and uh it was pretty exciting uh movie

417
00:18:45,830 --> 00:18:42,559
and uh up on the space station our life

418
00:18:47,029 --> 00:18:45,840
here is uh is not as exciting as you see

419
00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:47,039
on the movie

420
00:18:51,590 --> 00:18:49,200
but spacewalks they conducted was really

421
00:18:53,430 --> 00:18:51,600
exciting and it's really fascinating to

422
00:18:56,230 --> 00:18:53,440
see them work outside of the space

423
00:18:57,990 --> 00:18:56,240
station so on the wrong run you know the

424
00:18:59,270 --> 00:18:58,000
excitement that we have is pretty you

425
00:19:01,909 --> 00:18:59,280
know

426
00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:01,919
similar to what you see in the movie but

427
00:19:06,950 --> 00:19:04,080
we're having a very safe and efficient

428
00:19:09,430 --> 00:19:06,960
operation every day here

429
00:19:11,430 --> 00:19:09,440
thank you

430
00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:11,440
hello my name's ollie calling from

431
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:12,480
london

432
00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:13,280
um

433
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:14,320
when do you think we're going to become

434
00:19:23,029 --> 00:19:16,799
a truly space-faring species given that

435
00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:25,830
yeah that's that's a great question um i

436
00:19:29,590 --> 00:19:28,160
i think it is in our future when that is

437
00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:29,600
i'm not quite sure

438
00:19:33,669 --> 00:19:32,400
um but uh i i definitely think that

439
00:19:35,909 --> 00:19:33,679
we're gonna you know we'll we'll take

440
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:35,919
baby steps uh maybe it's going back to

441
00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:38,720
the moon on to mars the asteroid

442
00:19:41,590 --> 00:19:39,760
but

443
00:19:43,110 --> 00:19:41,600
you know the what's what's interesting

444
00:19:44,870 --> 00:19:43,120
though is here with the space station

445
00:19:45,590 --> 00:19:44,880
we've had a permanent presence in space

446
00:19:48,630 --> 00:19:45,600
for

447
00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:48,640
what the last 13 years 14 years so

448
00:19:51,430 --> 00:19:50,080
that's pretty exciting and that's and

449
00:19:53,110 --> 00:19:51,440
that's definitely a step in the right

450
00:19:53,990 --> 00:19:53,120
direction for that

451
00:19:56,710 --> 00:19:54,000
that

452
00:20:00,150 --> 00:19:56,720
you know a space-faring species

453
00:20:04,950 --> 00:20:03,190
station this is houston acr on behalf of

454
00:20:07,029 --> 00:20:04,960
south by southwest

455
00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:07,039
thank you very much this concludes our

456
00:20:16,149 --> 00:20:14,549
thank you south by southwest station we
