00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,920 here with us today 44 00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:01,920 now in addition to the folks here on the 45 00:02:06,069 --> 00:02:03,680 stage with us we have some virtual 46 00:02:08,309 --> 00:02:06,079 participants our first school i'd like 47 00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:08,319 to introduce is pearl hall elementary in 48 00:02:12,309 --> 00:02:10,800 pasadena texas so pearl hall would you 49 00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:12,319 please emit your microphone and say 50 00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:21,350 oh well thank you pearl hall all right 51 00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:23,599 so next i'd like to introduce our second 52 00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:26,000 participant it's henry university and 53 00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:29,200 henry university was crucial in allowing 54 00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:31,120 a special japanese instrument to be 55 00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:33,360 flown to the international space station 56 00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:35,440 so tinry university pleased them your 57 00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:46,869 all right all right so we'll connect 58 00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:48,560 back with henry in just a moment maybe 59 00:02:52,869 --> 00:02:50,640 they may have some audio difficulty 60 00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:52,879 all right so what i'd like to do to 61 00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:55,040 begin our program is invite katie to 62 00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:56,640 share with us a little bit about the 63 00:03:00,390 --> 00:02:58,319 international space station and the 64 00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:00,400 project 65 00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:02,000 well we're here today 66 00:03:05,509 --> 00:03:04,560 basically to play music all around the 67 00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:05,519 world 68 00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:07,200 so we're here in houston we have a 69 00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:09,200 school in japan we have a school in 70 00:03:13,030 --> 00:03:11,280 houston and we have musicians from 71 00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:13,040 everywhere and we're going to celebrate 72 00:03:18,149 --> 00:03:15,440 basically the international nature of 73 00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:18,159 the space station it's built by 16 74 00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:20,800 different countries and when we're up 75 00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:23,040 there as a crew of six 76 00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:24,400 sometimes we have you know some of the 77 00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:26,560 countries represented sometimes others 78 00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:28,799 and right now we have koichi wakata from 79 00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,120 japan on the station with two americans 80 00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:33,519 and his three russian crewmates and so 81 00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:35,360 we're going to celebrate the music of 82 00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:38,720 russia japan america and whatever else 83 00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:40,560 comes to mind we'll see 84 00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:42,799 the space station itself is i just i 85 00:03:46,229 --> 00:03:44,400 like to see pictures of it it looks to 86 00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:46,239 me like it's an animation like this was 87 00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:48,640 a cartoon but that's a real place i 88 00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:51,120 lived there for six months koichi wakata 89 00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:52,560 and his crewmates have been up there for 90 00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:54,159 almost six as well 91 00:03:59,350 --> 00:03:56,959 and it's an amazing amazing place people 92 00:04:01,589 --> 00:03:59,360 think they feel bad for us because going 93 00:04:03,190 --> 00:04:01,599 to space it's it's pretty small but 94 00:04:05,429 --> 00:04:03,200 actually when we're up on that space 95 00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:05,439 station it's giant and huge it's like 96 00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:07,280 that picture that you saw it's like 10 97 00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:09,760 train cars all together it's the size of 98 00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:12,080 a football field so it's like train cars 99 00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:13,920 without or buses without the seats in 100 00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:16,239 them and in that volume we can do 101 00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:18,560 science experiments we can we can do all 102 00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:21,040 sorts of things and we fly from place to 103 00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:21,919 place 104 00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:23,360 one of the things that 105 00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:25,120 i really like to talk about is the 106 00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:26,800 science that we do up on the space 107 00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:29,360 station and we've got a great picture of 108 00:04:33,909 --> 00:04:31,520 koichi that shows 109 00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:33,919 just why we do science we do experiments 110 00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:36,560 up there that we cannot do down here on 111 00:04:40,629 --> 00:04:39,440 the ground look at that ball of water 112 00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:40,639 down here on the ground it would be a 113 00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:43,280 puddle on the ground and and so up in 114 00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:45,680 space because it forms 115 00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:48,000 a sphere we get to see 116 00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:50,960 what does water really want to do 117 00:04:55,830 --> 00:04:53,680 we get to grow crystals where crystals 118 00:04:58,390 --> 00:04:55,840 are growing more perfectly we get to 119 00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:58,400 study combustion where we're looking at 120 00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:00,639 candle flames that don't look like this 121 00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:03,360 but actually are round and spherical and 122 00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:06,000 because of that it lets us study 123 00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:08,800 combustion and pollution and how things 124 00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:11,280 burn more efficiently up in space so the 125 00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:13,680 reason we do experiments up in space is 126 00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:15,199 because we can do things there that we 127 00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:17,360 can we can't do down here 128 00:05:21,749 --> 00:05:19,680 and because the things that we learn up 129 00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:21,759 there in space are things that come 130 00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:24,080 right back home down here to earth i've 131 00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:26,240 got a couple more pictures to show you 132 00:05:30,469 --> 00:05:27,440 there's one one of my favorite 133 00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:30,479 experiments it looks uh kind of like a 134 00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:33,280 it's really just a liquid in a container 135 00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:35,919 but again we're seeing what do liquids 136 00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:38,400 really want to do you're also seeing 137 00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:40,720 what does karen's hair want to do 138 00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:43,039 it's pretty wild 139 00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:44,880 i think it's pretty neat to see 140 00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:47,680 how these things act in microgravity and 141 00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:49,680 because the forces are so tiny down here 142 00:05:53,510 --> 00:05:51,520 on the earth they're hard to study but 143 00:05:54,629 --> 00:05:53,520 up in space it's easier and so the 144 00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:54,639 things that we're learning from the 145 00:05:57,670 --> 00:05:56,720 experiment that karen was doing was for 146 00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:57,680 example 147 00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:59,600 when we're on our way to mars 148 00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:01,199 i personally would like to know how much 149 00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:03,520 gas we have in our tank and if the gas 150 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:05,120 is all floating well how are we going to 151 00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:07,120 know that well in the experiment karen 152 00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:08,800 was doing when we changed the angle of 153 00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,600 the container just by like three degrees 154 00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:13,600 so small you can't even see it 155 00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:15,680 all of that liquid all of our fuel is 156 00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:16,800 going to be in one place in the 157 00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:19,039 container that's so important to learn 158 00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:20,800 about so we're learning all sorts of 159 00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:22,400 things that we can't hear find out down 160 00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:24,240 here on the ground and we're learning 161 00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:26,960 about ourselves about our bodies and how 162 00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:29,440 people live in space up on the space 163 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:31,440 station it's our test bed for 164 00:06:37,749 --> 00:06:34,560 exploration because we are going back to 165 00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:37,759 the moon to asteroids and on to mars and 166 00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:40,160 we're not ready we are not ready yet and 167 00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:41,520 that's why we have the space station and 168 00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:43,120 we do these experiments one of the 169 00:06:46,309 --> 00:06:44,240 things we need to find out is what 170 00:06:48,390 --> 00:06:46,319 happens to people up there you know we 171 00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:48,400 don't walk around on our feet our brains 172 00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:50,080 don't get that message that they need to 173 00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:52,720 build bone and so we actually lose a lot 174 00:06:56,550 --> 00:06:54,800 of bone and muscle while we're up there 175 00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:56,560 um i think we have a picture of koichi 176 00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:57,520 on our 177 00:07:02,710 --> 00:06:59,360 exercise machine 178 00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:02,720 and by doing exercise up there it turns 179 00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:04,960 out that we don't actually lose as much 180 00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:06,720 bone and muscle and in fact i can speak 181 00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:09,680 for my own results i came back without 182 00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:12,160 losing i did lose some bone but i came 183 00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:13,919 back really with the same amount that i 184 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:14,960 left with 185 00:07:19,909 --> 00:07:17,039 and here's the secret 186 00:07:22,629 --> 00:07:19,919 exercise yes exercise so we're learning 187 00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:22,639 all about how to keep to build strong 188 00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:25,280 bones for mars and at the same time we 189 00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:27,280 need strong bones down here too these 190 00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:29,840 kids need strong bones and it comes down 191 00:07:33,189 --> 00:07:31,440 to exercise and other things so the 192 00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:33,199 experiments again that we do up there 193 00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:35,280 we're getting to understand how to do 194 00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:36,000 them 195 00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:37,840 we're understanding more about life down 196 00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:40,400 here and last but not least i'd just 197 00:07:43,749 --> 00:07:42,319 like to show a picture of koichi and his 198 00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:43,759 crew because we're going to meet koichi 199 00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:45,520 but the other folks are probably pretty 200 00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:48,960 busy doing uh science experiments but um 201 00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:50,960 let's see uh so we've got koichi there 202 00:07:54,469 --> 00:07:52,800 you see the six of them we go up in 203 00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:54,479 groups of three 204 00:07:59,110 --> 00:07:57,039 and then when we get up there they'll 205 00:08:02,390 --> 00:07:59,120 already be three people up

special program at pearl 220 00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:34,080 hall elementary called building cultural 221 00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:36,560 bridges so jamie why don't you share 222 00:08:40,550 -->

00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:46,240 whenever my teaching partner 226 00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:48,000 who is my mom 227 00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:49,760 we started talking about how can we make 228 00:08:53,509

00:19:04,720 can be raised to a chance of all for 434 00:19:10,630 --> 00:19:06,880 certain individuals 435 00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:10,640 did you feel did you feel any spiritual 436 00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:18,789 any spiritual or religious uh feeling 437 00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:20,400 you know it's gonna be different for 438 00:19:24,789 --> 00:19:22,880 every single person i you can plan what 439 00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:24,799 you'll feel like you can think you know 440 00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:26,320 what it might feel like but then when 441 00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:27,679 you're actually 442 00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:30,880 in a space station orbiting the earth 443 00:19:34,789 --> 00:19:32,240 looking down 444 00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:34,799 seeing your country and in fact i 445 00:19:39,110 --> 00:19:37,120 studied very often in japan for my 446 00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:39,120 mission so it's very very happy to look 447 00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:41,200 down and see japan when you look down 448 00:19:44,950 --> 00:19:43,280 and you realize that everyone you know 449 00:19:46,870 --> 00:19:44,960 is down there 450 00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:46,880 it's wonderful to be up in space and at 451 00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:49,360 the same time it's it's um 452 00:19:54,870 --> 00:19:52,080 i i felt so so privileged to have that 453 00:19:56,950 --> 00:19:54,880 viewpoint and actually to realize that 454 00:19:58,870 --> 00:19:56,960 i don't actually come from a country i 455 00:20:00,950 --> 00:19:58,880 come from the earth and that our earth 456 00:20:03,430 --> 00:20:00,960 is in the neighborhood of space 457 00:20:05,430 --> 00:20:03,440 and it's a wonderful place 458 00:20:10,149 --> 00:20:05,440 thank you all right pearl hall you're up 459 00:20:15,270 --> 00:20:13,590 hi i am daisy and my question is 460 00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:15,280 we have rules we have to follow at 461 00:20:20,870 --> 00:20:17,200 school what roles do you have to follow 462 00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:20,880 while you're living on the iss 463 00:20:25,110 --> 00:20:22,240 rules well you know we don't we don't 464 00:20:26,710 --> 00:20:25,120 actually have to follow any rules at all 465 00:20:29,110 --> 00:20:26,720 not true you know we have to follow 466 00:20:31,270 --> 00:20:29,120 rules just like you do and 467 00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:31,280 up there it it's really clear that 468 00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:33,120 safety is the most important thing 469 00:20:37,909 --> 00:20:34,720 because we're in kind of a dangerous 470 00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:40,630 it makes me realize that being being 471 00:20:44,070 --> 00:20:42,480 following rules there's a reason for 472 00:20:47,510 --> 00:20:44,080 them and even though i actually don't 473 00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:47,520 always feel like following the rules 474 00:20:51,270 --> 00:20:49,440 it's plain old important and it just has 475 00:20:53,190 --> 00:20:51,280 to be done and you just follow the rules 476 00:20:54,950 --> 00:20:53,200 and get that part done and get on with 477 00:20:56,870 --> 00:20:54,960 whatever work you're trying to do there 478 00:20:58,950 --> 00:20:56,880 so we have lots of rules up there as 479 00:21:01,350 --> 00:20:58,960 well and pretty much we have to do what 480 00:21:03,190 --> 00:21:01,360 we're told even commander wakata i think 481 00:21:05,669 --> 00:21:03,200 will tell you that 482 00:21:06,310 --> 00:21:05,679 all right tender university please tell 483 00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:06,320 us 484 00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:10,870 hi 485 00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:14,000 my name is megami 486 00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:16,960 and my question is 487 00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:19,520 is there anything that 488 00:21:25,110 --> 00:21:23,360 you thought was an advantage or 489 00:21:26,070 --> 00:21:25,120 disadvantage 490 00:21:28,830 --> 00:21:26,080 about 491 00:21:30,390 --> 00:21:28,840 being a female 492 00:21:31,830 --> 00:21:30,400 external 493 00:21:35,029 --> 00:21:31,840 so 494 00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:35,039 being being a woman astronaut up there 495 00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:36,480 it's just nice to have lots of different 496 00:21:39,430 --> 00:21:38,240 kinds of people up there i will say in 497 00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:39,440 general 498 00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:40,720 we can be 499 00:21:45,110 --> 00:21:43,520 smaller than some of the guys and down 500 00:21:46,789 --> 00:21:45,120 here that can be a disadvantage where 501 00:21:49,190 --> 00:21:46,799 i'm always having to stand on a step to 502 00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:49,200 be tall enough right 503 00:21:53,669 --> 00:21:51,360 but then up in space i'm tall enough so 504 00:21:55,510 --> 00:21:53,679 there's advantages and disadvantages but 505 00:21:57,350 --> 00:21:55,520 what i find is sometimes the equipment 506 00:22:00,390 --> 00:21:57,360 is actually made for people who are 507 00:22:01,909 --> 00:22:00,400 bigger than i am or i'm left-handed and 508 00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:01,919 i find the equipment is made for people 509 00:22:06,310 --> 00:22:03,760 who use their right hand more 510 00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:06,320 and what i think is important is having 511 00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:09,600 lots of women and minorities 512 00:22:13,990 --> 00:22:11,440 going to school getting the tools that 513 00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:14,000 they need to be the engineers to design 514 00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:16,480 that space station and to design the 515 00:22:21,750 --> 00:22:18,640 rockets that we'll bring to mars and the 516 00:22:23,669 --> 00:22:21,760 place will live on mars i want women and 517 00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:23,679 other minorities minorities to design 518 00:22:28,149 --> 00:22:26,000 those things so that when they get there 519 00:22:29,590 --> 00:22:28,159 everything will fit them 520 00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:29,600 all right great all right we're going to 521 00:22:33,270 --> 00:22:31,360 take another question from pearl hall 522 00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:33,280 elementary what's your next question for 523 00:22:44,390 --> 00:22:42,549 my name is myra and my question is if 524 00:22:48,149 --> 00:22:44,400 you could be the first person on mars 525 00:22:51,830 --> 00:22:49,909 well you know i started to think well 526 00:22:52,870 --> 00:22:51,840 okay there would be my son and my 527 00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:52,880 husband 528 00:22:56,549 --> 00:22:54,400 but chances are they're going to be too 529 00:22:58,070 --> 00:22:56,559 heavy and i can't bring those things 530 00:23:00,549 --> 00:22:58,080 you know i'd love to say i'd bring my 531 00:23:01,590 --> 00:23:00,559 flute you know which i have here or that 532 00:23:03,190 --> 00:23:01,600 i would 533 00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:03,200 bring some things like that that i just 534 00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:04,720 love but first we're going to bring the 535 00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:07,600 equipment that we need to explore mars 536 00:23:13,510 --> 00:23:10,640 to live there safely and to be able to 537 00:23:14,950 --> 00:23:13,520 return home and to send data home so 538 00:23:16,950 --> 00:23:14,960 that everyone back on earth can 539 00:23:19,590 --> 00:23:16,960 understand what it's like on mars so 540 00:23:21,830 --> 00:23:19,600 that we can then send more people safely 541 00:23:24,549 --> 00:23:21,840 and then go to places even beyond mars 542 00:23:26,070 --> 00:23:24,559 so i bring the things that we need 543 00:23:27,510 --> 00:23:26,080 good all right well we have a few 544 00:23:29,590 --> 00:23:27,520 minutes before we're going to be 545 00:23:31,590 --> 00:23:29,600 connected with koichi so i actually have 546 00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:31,600 a question for you when you were on the 547 00:23:35,909 --> 00:23:34,240 international space station did you make 548 00:23:38,789 --> 00:23:35,919 a new discovery or does someone within 549 00:23:39,909 --> 00:23:38,799 your team make a new discovery in space 550 00:23:42,310 --> 00:23:39,919 well 551 00:23:44,230 --> 00:23:42,320 here's something i think unexpected 552 00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:44,240 about new discoveries is 553 00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:46,640 we we see tv programs we think that one 554 00:23:50,950 --> 00:23:48,640 person makes a discovery 555 00:23:52,789 --> 00:23:50,960 people make discoveries together 556 00:23:55,029 --> 00:23:52,799 when they work together and so we 557 00:23:57,750 --> 00:23:55,039 actually did have a pretty exciting 558 00:24:00,230 --> 00:23:57,760 discovery when i was on board in terms 559 00:24:03,029 --> 00:24:00,240 of fluids and figuring out what do 560 00:24:05,110 --> 00:24:03,039 liquids really want to to do and i 561 00:24:06,630 --> 00:24:05,120 mentioned it earlier understanding 562 00:24:08,789 --> 00:24:06,640 more things about how to design that 563 00:24:10,390 --> 00:24:08,799 zero g fuel tank so that we have enough 564 00:24:14,710 --> 00:24:10,400 fuel to get to mars so we know how much 565 00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:15,750 all right it looks like we're going to 566 00:24:19,110 --> 00:24:17,760 begin our event so let's stand by just a 567 00:24:21,029 --> 00:24:19,120 few seconds and we're going to be joined 568 00:24:23,029 --> 00:24:21,039 with commander koichi wakata on the 569 00:24:24,950 --> 00:24:23,039 international space station 570 00:24:26,789 --> 00:24:24,960 all right well commander kawada koichi

00:33:27,110 we have several schools connected we 687 00:33:30,710 --> 00:33:29,120 have pearl hall and henry university who 688 00:33:32,870 --> 00:33:30,720 would like an opportunity to speak with 689 00:33:35,590 --> 00:33:32,880 you and ask you a few questions i'd like 690 00:33:37,509 --> 00:33:35,600 to first go to pearl hall please um your 691 00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:37,519 microphone and ask kenji your first two 692 00:33:48,389 --> 00:33:46,630 hi my name is denise rodriguez and my 693 00:33:49,190 --> 00:33:48,399 question is 694 00:34:01,190 --> 00:33:49,200 how 695 00:34:03,190 --> 00:34:01,200 in 696 00:34:06,230 --> 00:34:03,200 order to play 697 00:34:07,909 --> 00:34:06,240 on the iss what are the differences 698 00:34:13,589 --> 00:34:07,919 between playing 699 00:34:17,750 --> 00:34:16,230 well that's a very good question 700 00:34:21,430 --> 00:34:17,760 here onboard the international space 701 00:34:24,950 --> 00:34:21,440 station we have air and the the pressure 702 00:34:27,190 --> 00:34:24,960 of the air is pretty much same as the 703 00:34:30,230 --> 00:34:27,200 the pressure on the ground 704 00:34:32,550 --> 00:34:30,240 so the uh the acoustic characteristics 705 00:34:34,790 --> 00:34:32,560 of the air that we breathe here inside 706 00:34:35,909 --> 00:34:34,800 of the space station is the same as on 707 00:34:37,589 --> 00:34:35,919 the ground 708 00:34:39,349 --> 00:34:37,599 as a result 709 00:34:41,669 --> 00:34:39,359 sound of 710 00:34:44,230 --> 00:34:41,679 our voice you know transmits very 711 00:34:47,349 --> 00:34:44,240 similar that's why we do not need to 712 00:34:49,510 --> 00:34:47,359 make any special adjustment of any 713 00:34:50,629 --> 00:34:49,520 musical instruments that we have 714 00:34:51,829 --> 00:34:50,639 and then 715 00:34:54,310 --> 00:34:51,839 so 716 00:34:56,310 --> 00:34:54,320 we can play it and listen to the musical 717 00:35:11,030 --> 00:34:56,320 instruments like on the ground here 718 00:35:15,349 --> 00:35:13,510 hi my name is eric and my question is do 719 00:35:16,390 --> 00:35:15,359 you believe that the existence of 720 00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:16,400 instruments 721 00:35:20,310 --> 00:35:18,960 and music on the iss increases the 722 00:35:21,750 --> 00:35:20,320 longevity 723 00:35:22,630 --> 00:35:21,760 and 724 00:35:28,390 --> 00:35:22,640 health 725 00:35:33,349 --> 00:35:30,150 yeah that's a that's really a good 726 00:35:34,470 --> 00:35:33,359 question then yes i uh strongly believe 727 00:35:35,589 --> 00:35:34,480 that the 728 00:35:39,190 --> 00:35:35,599 music 729 00:35:42,230 --> 00:35:39,200 uh gives us a sensation of relaxation 730 00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:42,240 um in space as well as on the ground 731 00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:44,720 and then listening to music playing 732 00:35:48,950 --> 00:35:46,880 music on board the space station will 733 00:35:50,470 --> 00:35:48,960 make our life on board the space station 734 00:35:53,349 --> 00:35:50,480 more enjoyable 735 00:35:55,990 --> 00:35:53,359 and it's the same on the ground and here 736 00:35:58,390 --> 00:35:56,000 uh in the very uh 737 00:36:01,030 --> 00:35:58,400 secluded area of the space station where 738 00:36:04,390 --> 00:36:01,040 we have only six crew members and the 739 00:36:19,270 --> 00:36:04,400 music is a really good psychological 740 00:36:24,870 --> 00:36:22,150 all right so henry university 741 00:36:27,750 --> 00:36:24,880 their first question is how will 3d 742 00:36:32,870 --> 00:36:27,760 printing support future human missions 743 00:36:37,670 --> 00:36:34,790 yeah 744 00:36:38,550 --> 00:36:37,680 3d print printing technology 745 00:36:41,750 --> 00:36:38,560 will 746 00:36:43,109 --> 00:36:41,760 enable us to have very efficient 747 00:36:44,069 --> 00:36:43,119 production of 748 00:36:45,430 --> 00:36:44,079 parts 749 00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:45,440 that are used 750 00:36:50,550 --> 00:36:48,800 for rockets and human spacecraft 751 00:36:52,230 --> 00:36:50,560 and right now onboard the space station 752 00:36:54,069 --> 00:36:52,240 we don't have 3d 753 00:36:56,710 --> 00:36:54,079 printing machines but there are a lot of 754 00:36:58,470 --> 00:36:56,720 parts that are already used in uh in the 755 00:37:00,550 --> 00:36:58,480 space station program that came from 756 00:37:04,790 --> 00:37:00,560 this 3d printing 757 00:37:08,710 --> 00:37:04,800 production and maybe when we go to mars 758 00:37:11,510 --> 00:37:08,720 or asteroid probably mars uh astronauts 759 00:37:13,829 --> 00:37:11,520 may be making our own parts that are 760 00:37:15,990 --> 00:37:13,839 needed to continue the space flight and 761 00:37:20,310 --> 00:37:16,000 the activities on mars using the 762 00:37:22,150 --> 00:37:20,320 technology of 3d printing productions 763 00:37:23,990 --> 00:37:22,160 here henry let's give you guys another 764 00:37:49,430 --> 00:37:24,000 shot please emu your microphone and ask 765 00:37:49,440 --> 00:38:05,109 foreign 766 00:38:10,710 --> 00:38:08,150 hi my name is shizuo jaxa has an 767 00:38:12,310 --> 00:38:10,720 experiment on the space station that is 768 00:38:15,589 --> 00:38:12,320 look at 769 00:38:18,630 --> 00:38:15,599 how semiconductor materials grow and 770 00:38:21,349 --> 00:38:18,640 crystallize in microgravity will this 771 00:38:28,630 --> 00:38:21,359 research help improve technology on 772 00:38:28,640 --> 00:39:17,750 station there are a visual 773 00:39:22,870 --> 00:39:19,510 yeah definitely uh we have been 774 00:39:24,470 --> 00:39:22,880 conducting experiments of producing or 775 00:39:26,870 --> 00:39:24,480 developing the technology of 776 00:39:29,109 --> 00:39:26,880 semiconductor materials and 777 00:39:32,069 --> 00:39:29,119 onboard the space station utilizing the 778 00:39:33,990 --> 00:39:32,079 very unique microgravity uh environment 779 00:39:35,270 --> 00:39:34,000 on the space station 780 00:39:37,510 --> 00:39:35,280 and uh 781 00:39:42,150 --> 00:39:37,520 by utilizing this microgravity 782 00:39:45,150 --> 00:39:42,160 environment we can make a very good high 783 00:39:48,390 --> 00:39:45,160 quality homogeneous materials of 784 00:39:50,870 --> 00:39:48,400 semiconductors and that will benefit the 785 00:39:53,589 --> 00:39:50,880 the enhancement of the technology of 786 00:39:56,230 --> 00:39:53,599 semiconductor development or production 787 00:39:57,589 --> 00:39:56,240 on the ground and uh until recently we 788 00:40:00,710 --> 00:39:57,599 have been conducting an experiment 789 00:40:02,950 --> 00:40:00,720 called hikari experiment that we 790 00:40:04,950 --> 00:40:02,960 tested or experimented the the 791 00:40:08,470 --> 00:40:04,960 semiconductor materials 792 00:40:10,630 --> 00:40:08,480 using silicon and germanium and that's 793 00:40:13,349 --> 00:40:10,640 done in this keyboard module just next 794 00:40:23,589 --> 00:40:15,670 pearl hall you're up next please ask 795 00:40:28,550 --> 00:40:26,710 hi i'm viviana southeastern 796 00:40:31,750 --> 00:40:28,560 southeastern high school which is in our 797 00:40:32,870 --> 00:40:31,760 hometown has has an experiment on space 798 00:40:36,309 --> 00:40:32,880 station 799 00:40:38,630 --> 00:40:36,319 that is researching the reaction 800 00:40:41,510 --> 00:40:38,640 of the polymer polymers 801 00:40:43,750 --> 00:40:41,520 that becomes a hard sticky foam 802 00:40:49,510 --> 00:40:43,760 how could astronauts use this type of 803 00:40:53,910 --> 00:40:51,430 yeah thank you for the question that's 804 00:40:55,750 --> 00:40:53,920 uh that's one of the uh the nanoracks 805 00:40:57,349 --> 00:40:55,760 experiments that we have been conducting 806 00:40:59,670 --> 00:40:57,359 on both the international space station 807 00:41:01,190 --> 00:40:59,680 that is a very neat technology 808 00:41:04,069 --> 00:41:01,200 and i i think 809 00:41:06,790 --> 00:41:04,079 by using that uh polymer technology we 810 00:41:09,829 --> 00:41:06,800 will be able to fix the for example 811 00:41:12,309 --> 00:41:09,839 damage and the cracks that occurs on the 812 00:41:14,710 --> 00:41:12,319 parts or the structures of the space 813 00:41:17,910 --> 00:41:14,720 station so definitely that will be 814 00:41:20,470 --> 00:41:17,920 utilized you know for future uh space 815 00:41:23,190 --> 00:41:20,480 activities on both the space space 816 00:41:26,870 --> 00:41:23,200 station and maybe on a different 817 00:42:51,109 --> 00:41:29,670 at henry university your final question 818 00:42:55,430 --> 00:42:52,870 this is a very similar questions that i 819 00:42:57,750 --> 00:42:55,440 received earlier but the uh 820 00:43:00,390 --> 00:42:57,760 we already have a variety of 821 00:43:02,710 --> 00:43:00,400 parts that are made from the 3d printing 822 00:43:05,190 --> 00:43:02,720 technologies that are right now used 823 00:43:07,670 --> 00:43:05,200 on the space station and other parts of 824 00:43:10,150 --> 00:43:07,680 the space development and i'm hoping and 825 00:43:12,230 --> 00:43:10,160 i believe that in the future when we go 826 00:43:14,630 --> 00:43:12,240 beyond north orbit 827 00:43:16,710 --> 00:43:14,640 for example to mars 828 00:43:17,670 --> 00:43:16,720 astronauts will be able to make new 829 00:43:20,230 --> 00:43:17,680 parts 830 00:43:21,829

earth and of 908 00:48:10,230 --> 00:48:08,400 course on the international space 909 00:48:12,230 --> 00:48:10,240 station and katie i would really like 910 00:48:13,510 --> 00:48:12,240 for you to

00:48:16,880 personal experiences 914 00:48:20,630 --> 00:48:18,720 well i think some of you know that i 915 00:48:22,549 --> 00:48:20,640 play the flute and you know i've done 916 00:48:24,309 --> 00:48:22,559 that since i was a kid 917 00:48:26,150 --> 00:48:24,319 but i wasn't a professional flute player 918 00:48:28,230 --> 00:48:26,160 i just like to play and i like to play 919 00:48:30,069 --> 00:48:28,240 with people when i went up to the space 920 00:48:32,309 --> 00:48:30,079 station i had a little room to bring a 921 00:48:35,430 --> 00:48:32,319 few things i did bring my flute in fact 922 00:48:38,950 --> 00:48:35,440 it's actually um this one right here and 923 00:48:40,950 --> 00:48:38,960 it's been uh 93 million miles i think 924 00:48:42,630 --> 00:48:40,960 something like that it went around quite 925 00:48:44,309 --> 00:48:42,640 and in fact i brought several other 926 00:48:46,069 --> 00:48:44,319 flutes up to the space station as well 927 00:48:48,710 --> 00:48:46,079 because it was important to me to share 928 00:48:50,390 --> 00:48:48,720 my space station experience in that way 929 00:48:53,030 --> 00:48:50,400 um i think we've got some neat video of 930 00:48:54,630 --> 00:48:53,040 just my instruments and other and other 931 00:48:56,630 --> 00:48:54,640 folks and i i'll just kind of talk 932 00:48:57,430 --> 00:48:56,640 through it while we watch 933 00:48:59,990 --> 00:48:57,440 this 934 00:49:01,910 --> 00:49:00,000 i love just showing people that it's a 935 00:49:03,990 --> 00:49:01,920 different world up there and when you 936 00:49:06,470 --> 00:49:04,000 saw koichi tossing the show back and 937 00:49:08,549 --> 00:49:06,480 forth and just kind of tumbling around 938 00:49:10,790 --> 00:49:08,559 this is a duet that i played with mr ian 939 00:49:12,549 --> 00:49:10,800 anderson of the musical group jethro 940 00:49:15,109 --> 00:49:12,559 tull he was the person that brought the 941 00:49:17,030 --> 00:49:15,119 flute to rock music and so we played a 942 00:49:20,150 --> 00:49:17,040 duet and it was actually the first duet 943 00:49:23,030 --> 00:49:20,160 between earth and space so i don't mean 944 00:49:24,630 --> 00:49:23,040 to show you up kenji 945 00:49:26,710 --> 00:49:24,640 but we've had a number of people bring 946 00:49:28,309 --> 00:49:26,720 instruments up and even just you know 947 00:49:29,829 --> 00:49:28,319 listening to music having fun together 948 00:49:31,990 --> 00:49:29,839 having fun with your friends on the 949 00:49:34,870 --> 00:49:32,000 ground this is part of a music video 950 00:49:37,510 --> 00:49:34,880 called world by 5 5 for fighting where 951 00:49:38,870 --> 00:49:37,520 it said what kind of world do you want 952 00:49:40,309 --> 00:49:38,880 and and that's just something that's 953 00:49:41,990 --> 00:49:40,319 really important for all of us to think 954 00:49:43,670 --> 00:49:42,000 about and i think 955 00:49:46,549 --> 00:49:43,680 when we get together and we play music 956 00:49:48,150 --> 00:49:46,559 this is myself uh and the chieftains a 957 00:49:50,630 --> 00:49:48,160 group called the chieftains i brought a 958 00:49:52,710 --> 00:49:50,640 penny whistle and a 150 year old flute 959 00:49:54,630 --> 00:49:52,720 up to the space station uh for that 960 00:49:56,309 --> 00:49:54,640 group and we're playing with the houston 961 00:49:58,549 --> 00:49:56,319 symphony 962 00:50:01,430 --> 00:49:58,559 and it to me it was just it was 963 00:50:03,109 --> 00:50:01,440 important to play together um the fact 964 00:50:04,710 --> 00:50:03,119 that i i played their instruments up in 965 00:50:06,870 --> 00:50:04,720 space and then i brought them home and i 966 00:50:08,309 --> 00:50:06,880 got to talk with them and play with them 967 00:50:10,549 --> 00:50:08,319 and if you see me right here i'm playing 968 00:50:12,710 --> 00:50:10,559 a duet with mr matt malloy and i will 969 00:50:14,630 --> 00:50:12,720 tell you that i'm very nervous 970 00:50:16,710 --> 00:50:14,640 and and and i think it's really 971 00:50:19,190 --> 00:50:16,720 important for our students here 972 00:50:20,549 --> 00:50:19,200 and for people who play instruments to 973 00:50:21,910 --> 00:50:20,559 realize that 974 00:50:23,349 --> 00:50:21,920 you don't have to be the best in the 975 00:50:25,670 --> 00:50:23,359 whole world you just have to want to 976 00:50:27,829 --> 00:50:25,680 share and then it takes a certain amount 977 00:50:29,829 --> 00:50:27,839 of being brave you know here's chris 978 00:50:31,670 --> 00:50:29,839 hadfield playing the guitar you know 979 00:50:33,910 --> 00:50:31,680 he's a wonderful guitar player and 980 00:50:35,670 --> 00:50:33,920 singer songwriter um is he the best in 981 00:50:38,470 --> 00:50:35,680 the world well probably not but was he 982 00:50:39,910 --> 00:50:38,480 willing to be brave and share he was and 983 00:50:41,349 --> 00:50:39,920 in fact here we are playing it's our 984 00:50:43,670 --> 00:50:41,359 group that we play together with chris 985 00:50:45,910 --> 00:50:43,680 on the ground bandela we're playing with 986 00:50:47,990 --> 00:50:45,920 the houston symphony with the chieftains 987 00:50:50,230 --> 00:50:48,000 and we're playing moon dance and so 988 00:50:52,790 --> 00:50:50,240 chris was on the space station we were 989 00:50:56,150 --> 00:50:52,800 in symphony hall right here in houston 990 00:51:00,069 --> 00:50:56,160 and together we played music together 991 00:51:02,470 --> 00:51:00,079 just just like koichi and kenji just did 992 00:51:05,829 --> 00:51:02,480 and one of the earlier questions that we 993 00:51:09,030 --> 00:51:05,839 had was about whether there's something 994 00:51:10,790 --> 00:51:09,040 spiritual or just a sense of awe that 995 00:51:12,390 --> 00:51:10,800 you would have in in being up on the 996 00:51:13,910 --> 00:51:12,400 space station and 997 00:51:15,910 --> 00:51:13,920 i don't think it's just because i've 998 00:51:18,470 --> 00:51:15,920 been there but when kenji and koichi 999 00:51:21,430 --> 00:51:18,480 played and we watched the video of 1000 00:51:23,750 --> 00:51:21,440 sailing over the earth and in video 1001 00:51:26,230 --> 00:51:23,760 inside the space station and koichi 1002 00:51:28,309 --> 00:51:26,240 floating around and i think cuishi was 1003 00:51:29,990 --> 00:51:28,319 actually entranced when he played that 1004 00:51:31,510 --> 00:51:30,000 instrument 1005 00:51:34,069 --> 00:51:31,520 i mean i think he's getting into it you 1006 00:51:35,990 --> 00:51:34,079 know i i think it just there's something 1007 00:51:39,670 --> 00:51:36,000 special that happened you know that 1008 00:51:42,470 --> 00:51:39,680 moment live together even though he was 1009 00:51:44,470 --> 00:51:42,480 on the space station going 17 500 miles 1010 00:51:47,349 --> 00:51:44,480 an hour even if you can't be physically 1011 00:51:49,750 --> 00:51:47,359 close you can be together in spirit 1012 00:51:51,589 --> 00:51:49,760 and as we travel further and further 1013 00:51:53,030 --> 00:51:51,599 i think that that's really more and more 1014 00:51:55,670 --> 00:51:53,040 important and and one of the ways 1015 00:51:56,549 --> 00:51:55,680 actually just for me in any way um not 1016 00:51:59,430 --> 00:51:56,559 to be 1017 00:52:01,109 --> 00:51:59,440 you know lonely was to put on music that 1018 00:52:03,030 --> 00:52:01,119 my group would play when we played 1019 00:52:04,710 --> 00:52:03,040 together that mandela would play i would 1020 00:52:07,190 --> 00:52:04,720 put that music on and i would go up to 1021 00:52:09,510 --> 00:52:07,200 the cupola which is in the middle of our 1022 00:52:11,109 --> 00:52:09,520 space station so 1023 00:52:12,950 --> 00:52:11,119 people are sleeping on either end of the 1024 00:52:14,710 --> 00:52:12,960 space station that means that the cupola 1025 00:52:16,069 --> 00:52:14,720 is is a reasonable place to play you're 1026 00:52:18,549 --> 00:52:16,079 not going to wake anybody up it was 1027 00:52:20,150 --> 00:52:18,559 usually nighttime and i would open the 1028 00:52:21,750 --> 00:52:20,160 window shutters 1029 00:52:23,910 --> 00:52:21,760 look at the earth 1030 00:52:26,549 --> 00:52:23,920 listen to my my friends back on earth 1031 00:52:28,150 --> 00:52:26,559 playing music and play

stored in a 1060 00:53:24,069 --> 00:53:21,599 really big place and sure enough you 1061 00:53:27,349 --> 00:53:24,079 know behind this big rack was the 1062 00:53:29,670 --> 00:53:27,359 keyboard uh

00:53:40,559 there are special ways to express 1070 00:53:45,349 --> 00:53:42,640 yourself and even if we don't bring 1071 00:53:47,510 --> 00:53:45,359 musical instruments there will be music 1072 00:53:50,309 --> 00:53:47,520 on that space station that's right thank 1073 00:53:52,230 --> 00:53:50,319 you well we have one final piece and to 1074 00:53:54,309 --> 00:53:52,240 share with you

felt 1080 00:54:08,549 --> 00:54:07,040 that music and literature were two of 1081 00:54:10,950 --> 00:54:08,559 the most important things we have 1082 00:54:12,950 --> 00:54:10,960 because they tell others about us and i 1083 00:54:15,349 --> 00:54:12,960 think that's one thing that that music 1084 00:54:17,510 --> 00:54:15,359 is doing in connecting us with other 1085 00:54:20,549 -->

country 1088 00:54:27,589 --> 00:54:25,760 to connect an integrated curriculum and 1089 00:54:30,309 --> 00:54:27,599 to better make it an artful way to 1090 00:54:32,390 --> 00:54:30,319 present
