so our engineers have come up with 81 00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:39,840 this new machine that makes it just like 82 00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:42,159 lifting weights and so we spend about 83 00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:44,480 two hours every day working out to keep 84 00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:46,319 ourselves in shape to make sure we don't 85 00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:48,480 have any muscle loss or any bone loss 86 00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:49,920 it's very important for us when we get 87 00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:57,190 okay let's keep answering that question 88 00:04:01,350 --> 00:03:58,720 is there any way that you

rummel 126 00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:15,840 and he says 127 00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:17,680 steve what do you think is the biggest 128 00:06:26,230 --> 00:06:19,600 accomplishment that you have done so far 129 00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:28,790 rahul that is a difficult question the 130 00:06:33,510 --> 00:06:31,440 biggest accomplishment that i have done 131 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:33,520 well for me personally 132 00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:35,280 probably doing a spacewalk is ambiguous 133 00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:37,440 accomplishment however it's always a 134 00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:39,440 team on the ground and up here doing all 135 00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:40,880 the work it's never just one person 136 00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:42,880 doing the work that we do it takes many 137 00:06:46,309 --> 00:06:44,960 many people all over the world to make 138 00:06:48,070 --> 00:06:46,319 this thing happen to make the science 139 00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:48,080 happen to keep the station running so 140 00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:50,080 it's hard to measure just one person's 141 00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:52,240 contributions but if it was just you 142 00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:54,240 know if you tried to for me i think the 143 00:06:59,830 --> 00:06:55,599 most rewarding and the hardest things 144 00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:02,070 is there a specific memory or a scene 145 00:07:13,189 --> 00:07:03,520 from any of the space walks that you 146 00:07:16,390 --> 00:07:15,430 we're trying to come up with one 147 00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:16,400 yes 148 00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:18,240 but the best part i think uh not the 149 00:07:22,870 --> 00:07:20,240 best part one of the great parts of a 150 00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:22,880 spacewalk is just the view 151 00:07:26,230 --> 00:07:24,960 as you're working out there on outside 152 00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:26,240 the station 153 00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:28,960 you have a whole visor with his open to 154 00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:30,639 what you can see outside it's not like 155 00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:32,400 here we have a window you're looking out 156 00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:34,000 so you the view that you have you more 157 00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:36,080 feel like you're out in that environment 158 00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:37,840 you're there you're you're feeling it 159 00:07:41,749 --> 00:07:39,280 and then the view you get of the whole 160 00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:41,759 earth all what you can see out there is 161 00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:43,120 just amazing i mean sometimes it just 162 00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:44,400 takes your breath away and i have to 163

out here to have that 213 00:10:01,670 --> 00:09:57,440 feeling of still being part of something 214 00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:04,310 and here's another one from jericho he 215 00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:06,640 says i'm just curious 216 00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:08,399 what do you think is the best space 217 00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:16,790 that best space movie that's a tough one 218 00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:17,920 i think i'd probably have to go with 219 00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:19,760 apollo 13 though that's still one of my 220 00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:23,910 okay 221 00:10:29,350 --> 00:10:27,120 uh tim johnson from phoenix arizona 222 00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:29,360 he's a bit of a nasa wonk i think 223 00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:31,440 my question is do you think nasa will 224 00:10:35,910 --> 00:10:33,920 ever build a reusable spacecraft such as 225 00:10:38,230 --> 00:10:35,920 the space shuttle to transport humans 226 00:10:40,150 --> 00:10:38,240 into space or are we going to be relying 227 00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:40,160 now on other countries or private 228 00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:48,470 well it's a tough question to see the 229 00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:50,640 future of what nasa will do 230 00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:53,760 i think in the short term future uh we 231 00:10:58,550 --> 00:10:55,440 do have that planned out we will be 232 00:11:00,710 --> 00:10:58,560 using commercial craft like spacex 233 00:11:02,550 --> 00:11:00,720 or possibly boeing 234 00:11:04,389 --> 00:11:02,560 sierra nevada also in sierra nevadas is 235 00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:04,399 a reusable vehicle so there's one right 236 00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:06,160 now that's on the drawing plans right 237 00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:08,240 now our drawing board it has plans and 238 00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:11,680 it's a possibility and that is reusable 239 00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:13,360 the orion 240 00:11:18,389 --> 00:11:15,600 spacecraft that nasa is building is not 241 00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:18,399 reusable also it's another capsule and 242 00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:20,160 of course we are relying on the russians 243 00:11:23,590 --> 00:11:22,160 until we get one of ours done but i do 244 00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:23,600 hope in the near future we'll have at 245 00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:26,320 least a u.s vehicle and then after that 246 00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:28,240 i do believe going back to some sort of 247 00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:30,320 reusable water will help bring the cost 248 00:11:33,350 --> 00:11:31,760 downs and will help make it a four 249 00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:33,360 affordable for everybody else to come up 250 00:11:40,230 --> 00:11:38,150 great 251 00:11:41,990 --> 00:11:40,240 we got a whole fifth grade classroom in 252 00:11:43,670 --> 00:11:42,000 san diego 253 00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:43,680 so first of all there's a clip of them 254 00:11:48,069 --> 00:11:44,880 and they're all sitting there and they 255 00:11:53,509 --> 00:11:48,079 wave and they go hi astronaut steve so 256 00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:56,550 did you know the name of the school it 257 00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:58,800 is 258 00:12:03,030 --> 00:12:00,160 yeah 259 00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:03,040 fletcher elementary school in san diego 260 00:12:13,269 --> 00:12:11,350 hello fifth grade class of fletcher 261 00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:13,279 elementary school in san diego how are 262 00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:18,470 great and then one of the students 263 00:12:21,350 --> 00:12:19,839 alyssa 264 00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:21,360 she says 265 00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:23,360 i'm melissa gomez and i'm wondering what 266 00:12:34,949 --> 00:12:32,870 alissa that's a good question we don't 267 00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:34,959 get a lot of free time in space but when 268 00:12:39,190 --> 00:12:37,040 we do the number one thing we all like 269 00:12:40,949 --> 00:12:39,200 to do is look out the window it's such a 270 00:12:42,389 --> 00:12:40,959 beautiful thing to do and 271 00:12:45,590 --> 00:12:42,399 looking down on earth is just a 272 00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:45,600 fantastic way to spend your time 273 00:12:49,829 --> 00:12:47,760 otherwise we will try to stay in contact 274 00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:49,839 with our families or you can email them 275 00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:51,279 or phone or 276 00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:53,279 call them on the phone 277 00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:55,680 and we possibly uh maybe watch a tv show 278 00:13:02,069 --> 00:12:57,360 or two just to relax but that's really 279 00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:03,030 okay 280 00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:04,480 here's another one from one of the 281 00:13:07,590 --> 00:13:05,360 students 282 00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:07,600 eric davis 283 00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:11,600 start your flight with all of the 284 00:13:20,710 --> 00:13:19,350 hello erica i'm not really scared i 285 00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:20,720 don't think most of us are scared we 286 00:13:25,509 --> 00:13:23,120 know those are dangers involved but 287 00:13:26,230 --> 00:13:25,519 uh we've also been trained to handle all 288 00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:26,240 the 289 00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:28,560 possible scenarios that have come up 290 00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:30,720 we think we're prepared for them so it's 291 00:13:34,470 --> 00:13:32,399 really we feel confident that we'll be 292 00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:34,480 able to do the mission 293 00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:38,160 safely and efficiently and successfully 294 00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:39,680 so i don't think 295 00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:41,760 the idea that uh we're 296 00:13:45,030 --> 00:13:43,440 maybe afraid it might be a little bit 297 00:13:46,790 --> 00:13:45,040 more attention like during launch or 298 00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:46,800 something like that but just like as you 299 00:13:49,189 --> 00:13:48,000 would that same kind of feeling if 300 00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:49,199 you're going on a roller coaster that 301 00:13:53,670 --> 00:13:51,120 feeling before you go you maybe feel a 302 00:13:55,030 --> 00:13:53,680 little bit apprehensive but we also know 303 00:14:00,550 --> 00:13:55,040 it's all going to be fine that's what we 304 00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:02,389 okay this is jose 305 00:14:06,790 --> 00:14:04,399 from colombia 306 00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:06,800 hi i'm jose from south america i would 307 00:14:10,470 --> 00:14:08,399 like to know how do you go to the 308 00:14:11,829 --> 00:14:10,480 bathroom i mean how do you deal with 309 00:14:17,269 --> 00:14:11,839 your bathroom needs when you are in 310 00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:22,069 hey that's always a good question jose 311 00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:24,069 so we do have a toilet up here and it 312 00:14:27,509 --> 00:14:26,000 looks somewhat similar to a toilet down 313 00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:27,519 on earth 314 00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:29,040 one of the big differences of course is 315 00:14:34,150 --> 00:14:32,399 uh is we have to contain everything so 316 00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:34,160 when you go ahead and you want to 317 00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:36,720 urinate we actually do that into a 318 00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:39,120 funnel that has a suction on it think of 319 00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:42,560 it as a wet vacuum it sexy air and 320 00:14:47,189 --> 00:14:45,040 liquids into it it saves the liquid into 321 00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:47,199 a tank and it shoots the air out the 322 00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:49,680 other side it works actually quite well 323 00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:51,839 for the other eye side 324 00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:54,000 we just have a big container 325 00:14:58,230 --> 00:14:56,240 it also has air flow helping to keep the 326 00:15:00,470 --> 00:14:58,240 airflow going down and out through and 327 00:15:02,389 --> 00:15:00,480 out to one direction and we sit on that 328 00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:02,399 with little plastic inserts like little 329 00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:04,480 bags and use those 330 00:15:09,509 --> 00:15:06,800 and fill those up and then tuck them 331 00:15:11,670 --> 00:15:09,519 into the the can and close the cam back 332 00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:11,680 up it's not a very sophisticated design 333 00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:17,030 okay 334 00:15:22,069 --> 00:15:20,000 uh this is deborah from houston 335 00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:22,079 and she'd like to thank you for doing 336 00:15:25,829 --> 00:15:23,920 the interview after watching the film 337 00:15:27,430 --> 00:15:25,839 gravity that i absolutely loved i 338 00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:27,440 thought it was amazing i was wondering 339 00:15:31,910 --> 00:15:29,279 if it even equates to what it's like in 340 00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:31,920 space for you and your experiences 341 00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:33,680 does life imitate art or does our 342 00:15:43,350 --> 00:15:41,670 a good question with the movie gravity i 343 00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:43,360 think the best thing that gravity did 344 00:15:46,629 --> 00:15:44,560 was the 345 00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:46,639 cinematography of that movie and how it 346 00:15:50,470 --> 00:15:48,880 showed what it's like to be in space and 347 00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:50,480 the views that it showed was really 348 00:15:55,269 --> 00:15:52,240 close to what we have up here so that 349 00:15:57,509 --> 00:15:55,279 was a fantastic analogy for what's going 350 00:15:59,670 --> 00:15:57,519 on up here of course it was a movie and 351 00:16:03,269 --> 00:15:59,680 the plot uh was just based off of 352 00:16:04,949 --> 00:16:03,279 fiction so uh that's to be expected for 353 00:16:06,470 --> 00:16:04,959 a movie it wasn't based off the fact of 354 00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:06,480 how it really operates up here but 355 00:16:13,110 --> 00:16:08,639 that's okay it was a great movie and 356 00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:16,470 okay uh here's one from indonesia 357 00:16:21,509 --> 00:16:19,040 hi my name is citra from indonesia from 358 00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:21,519 sitra from indonesia my question is what 359 00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:23,680 is another perk of being an astronaut 360 00:16:31,110 --> 00:16:25,920 other than the opportunity to live in 361 00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:34,710 that's a good question i think for me 362 00:16:39,189 --> 00:16:36,639 the perks i like best when i'm not in 363 00:16:40,949 --> 00:16:39,199 space is when i'm back at home in 364 00:16:44,310 -->
