00:04:04,860 --> 00:04:02,560 this week in particular I am focusing 67 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:04,870 and working on the experiment called the 68 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:06,970 cell McConnell sensing which is an 69 00:04:13,380 --> 00:04:10,450 investigation to identify gravity sensor 70 00:04:15,420 --> 00:04:13,390 in a muscle cells and this study will 71 00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:15,430 help

00:04:34,520 school here Aaron how and why did you 75 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:40,790 choose to go into space well you know 76 00:04:44,830 --> 00:04:43,130 when I was very young probably about 77 00:04:47,770 --> 00:04:44,840 your age I was I've got very interested 78 00:04:49,810 --> 00:04:47,780 in science very interested in airplanes 79 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:49,820 and space travel was back in the days of 80 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:52,010 Apollo and so it really piqued my 81 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:54,410 interest and I was I was very good at 82 00:04:58,780 --> 00:04:56,690 math and so I decided to make science 83 00:05:01,120 --> 00:04:58,790 and engineering my career and then 84 00:05:02,740 --> 00:05:01,130 eventually I saw that there was an 85 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:02,750 opportunity to become an astronaut and I 86 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:03,890 thought it would be great to become an 87 00:05:07,750 --> 00:05:05,570 astronaut it was physically and mentally 88 00:05:09,820 --> 00:05:07,760 very challenging and that all led up to 89 00:05:11,890 --> 00:05:09,830 my space trip so it's just a series of 90 00:05:18,380 --> 00:05:11,900 events and leading me down a road of 91 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:21,590 thanks a lot Rick swanee you next one is 92 00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:24,090 from Isabelle Hargrove sycamore school 93 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:30,840 in

00:07:06,300 Austin halt hold Indianapolis Public 119 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:11,370 School 15 here you go often how do you 120 00:07:20,510 --> 00:07:14,250 get those how big is the living area on 121 00:07:22,220 --> 00:07:20,520 the ISS and you get your own room yeah 122 00:07:25,550 --> 00:07:22,230 Austin a space station is actually very 123 00:07:27,410 --> 00:07:25,560 very large in my opinion anyways you 124 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:27,420 probably maybe you've been on a large 125 00:07:30,740 --> 00:07:29,130 commercial airliner on a trip at one 126 00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:30,750 time or another it's probably the size 127 00:07:34,490 --> 00:07:32,310 of two or three of those commercial 128 00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:34,500 airliners the volume inside it and the 129 00:07:37,550 --> 00:07:36,000 thing about the space station is since 130 00:07:39,380 --> 00:07:37,560 we could float you know we could use the 131 00:07:41,210 --> 00:07:39,390 we could use the area up here on the 132 00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:41,220 ceiling if we have to so it's much more 133 00:07:45,620 --> 00:07:43,140 area and volume than if it was just 134 00:07:48,170 --> 00:07:45,630 we're in a 1g or on the environment like 135 00:07:50,030 --> 00:07:48,180 on the earth and we do get our own room 136 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:50,040 it's a very very small room it's the 137 00:07:54,620 --> 00:07:52,170 size of a very small closet in your room 138 00:07:56,270 --> 00:07:54,630 like the linen closet oral if you're you 139 00:07:58,430 --> 00:07:56,280 probably don't remember phone booths but 140 00:07:59,870 --> 00:07:58,440 like the size of a small phone booth so 141 00:08:02,180 --> 00:07:59,880 it's a very small area but it's more 142 00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:02,190 than enough to hang up our sleeping bag 143 00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:10,089 you know wreck I really miss using the 144 00:08:13,779 --> 00:08:12,319 roof last time I came home from space I 145 00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:13,789 used to sleep on the roof and I was 146 00:08:19,210 --> 00:08:15,680 pretty surprised to wake up on the full 147 00:08:23,350 --> 00:08:19,220 on the not not sleeping on the roof next 148 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:23,360 question Steve from Michael joven at st. 149 00:08:39,389 --> 00:08:31,610 Michael school do you have plans on the 150 00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:42,159 don't have plants personally but we have 151 00:08:45,670 --> 00:08:44,240 experiments that have plants and we try 152 00:08:48,190 --> 00:08:45,680 to grow the plants to the experiments 153 00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:48,200 there's also I know a few of our Russian 154 00:08:52,389 --> 00:08:50,000 colleagues have tried to go plants 155 00:08:55,180 --> 00:08:52,399 themselves by keeping them in a ziploc 156 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:55,190 bag and putting some water with it kind 157 00:08:59,230 --> 00:08:57,410 of like a hydroponic plant I know we've 158 00:09:06,550 --> 00:08:59,240 actually tasted some of the onions they 159 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:06,560 grew that way is very delicious thanks 160 00:09:11,710 --> 00:09:09,170 Steve and for co e cheese our next 161 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:11,720

00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:41,390 those are from the partner countries of 168 00:09:45,730 --> 00:09:43,970 the International Space Station United 169 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:45,740 States Russia Europe Canada and Japan 170 00:09:51,990 --> 00:09:49,490 and recently we had SpaceX Dragon 171 00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:52,000 spacecraft which brought us fresh food 172 00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:54,529 fruits and vegetables which is very rare 173 00:10:05,560 --> 00:09:57,200 for us to have and I really wish that we 174 00:10:10,750 --> 00:10:08,050 thanks Luigi I enjoyed some of the 175 00:10:12,990 --> 00:10:10,760 special Japanese food you brought up 176 00:10:15,790 --> 00:10:13,000 last time we were in space together also 177 00:10:22,030 --> 00:10:15,800 for Rick the next question Rachel 178 00:10:23,770 --> 00:10:22,040 chambers from Butler University what has 179 00:10:25,810 --> 00:10:23,780 been the greatest experience you have 180 00:10:33,580 --> 00:10:25,820 had thus far in space and how has that 181 00:10:35,020 --> 00:10:33,590 experience affected you as a person yeah 182 00:10:36,850 --> 00:10:35,030 you know I've had a lot of great 183 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:36,860 experiences up here but probably the 184 00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:38,450 thing that I enjoy the most are the 185 00:10:42,130 --> 00:10:39,680 spacewalks I've got to do a few 186 00:10:44,590 --> 00:10:42,140 spacewalks and when you're out there in 187 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:44,600 your space suit and you're translating 188 00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:46,250 around the outside of the space station 189 00:10:50,590 --> 00:10:48,190 you have these great views of the earth 190 00:10:52,450 --> 00:10:50,600 just your visor between you and the 191 00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:52,460 vacuum of space you got these wide 192 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:54,320 panoramic views of the earth as the Sun 193 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:55,850 rises they're just incredible and 194 00:10:59,620 --> 00:10:57,290 working out there on the space station 195 00:11:02,410 --> 00:10:59,630 it's very very difficult work but it's 196 00:11:03,550 --> 00:11:02,420 also very very rewarding I don't know if 197 00:11:05,230 --> 00:11:03,560 that's going to change me as a person 198 00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:05,240 but it's certainly something that I'm 199 00:11:08,650 --> 00:11:06,560 going to remember for the rest of my 200 00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:08,660 life being out there and helping to 201 00:11:16,780 --> 00:11:10,430 build the space station in the beautiful 202 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:16,790 views of the earth I

333 00:19:06,460 --> 00:19:03,110 maybe it takes an hour or so to put the 334 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:06,470 spacesuit on but it takes about four or 335 00:19:12,550 --> 00:19:10,010 five hours to fully prepare your body to 336 00:19:14,230 --> 00:19:12,560 go from inside the space Space Station 337 00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:14,240 to outside the space station and that's 338 00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:16,130 because we have to do a lot of breathing 339 00:19:20,980 --> 00:19:19,130 of pure oxygen and prepare our body get 340 00:19:22,750 --> 00:19:20,990 some kind of remove some of the nitrogen 341 00:19:25,270 --> 00:19:22,760 from our body so we don't get the bends 342 00:19:26,890 --> 00:19:25,280 when we go to that very low pressure in 343 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:26,900 the spacesuit and out in the vacuum of 344 00:19:30,850 --> 00:19:29,090 space so the getting in the spacesuit is 345 00:19:32,890 --> 00:19:30,860 actually doesn't take very long maybe 346 00:19:35,290 --> 00:19:32,900 less than an hour but the preparing of 347 00:19:42,419 --> 00:19:35,300 your body to go outside and on a 348 00:19:45,629 --> 00:19:44,399 thanks a lot Rick in fact that's 349
