1
00:00:06,550 --> 00:00:03,189
station this is colvin run elementary

2
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:10,390
i hear you loud and clear

3
00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:12,390
good morning i am stem teacher susan

4
00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:14,880
blackwell and we're incredibly excited

5
00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:16,640
about this opportunity to speak to you

6
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:18,000
we've been learning all about the

7
00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:19,760
international space station

8
00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:21,840
and we have students here ready to ask

9
00:00:32,470 --> 00:00:24,320
you questions our first question is from

10
00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:33,190
hi

11
00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:36,719
my name is kavya vij and i'm 13 years

12
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:39,600
old my question is what are some recent

13
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:41,840
experiments you have done and will they

14
00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:48,229
well thanks that's a good question we do

15
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:50,239
a lot of science up here recently i've

16
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:52,480
been working on one that is trying to

17
00:00:56,069 --> 00:00:54,879
figure out how plant cells detect

18
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:56,079
gravity

19
00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:58,800
and that way the plant cells go thicker

20
00:01:01,910 --> 00:01:00,480
in a direction against gravity so they

21
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:01,920
can actually grow up

22
00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:03,840
uh we if we understand this better we

23
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:05,439
can hopefully grow plants more

24
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:20,149
hi my name is ella i'm six years old my

25
00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:23,360
question is when did you know you wanted

26
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:25,600
to be an astronaut and how did you

27
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:32,310
well i guess most of my life i thought i

28
00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:33,920
wanted to be an astronaut but i didn't

29
00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:35,360
know i really wanted to become an

30
00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:38,640
astronaut until i was a teenager in high

31
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:41,280
school and i was watching some airplanes

32
00:01:44,069 --> 00:01:43,040
fly over and i saw a space shuttle

33
00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:44,079
launch

34
00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:46,880
and from there my my future was sealed i

35
00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:48,240
thought flying into space would be a

36
00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:00,950
hi my name is emma mobley

37
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:02,640
and i

38
00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:08,000
is how do you feel when spaceship takes

39
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:14,229
good question emma

40
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:15,840
how do i feel when the spaceship takes

41
00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:18,560
off her space well i'm probably maybe a

42
00:02:21,750 --> 00:02:20,480
little bit nervous but not much i'm also

43
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:21,760
very happy

44
00:02:24,869 --> 00:02:23,200
at the same time because i get to go to

45
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:24,879
space well look at it's kind of like

46
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:26,080
when you're going on a roller coaster

47
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:27,760
ride and you get that first part that's

48
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:29,040
really steep and it goes click click

49
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:30,800
click click click click click just about

50
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:32,080
you get to the top you know it's coming

51
00:02:34,949 --> 00:02:33,280
you know it's going to be fun but you're

52
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:34,959
just a little anxious that's kind of how

53
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:47,509
hi my name is isha moscari and i am 10

54
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:50,560
years old my question for you is what's

55
00:02:54,790 --> 00:02:52,160
it like living with other people from

56
00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:54,800
the international space station

57
00:03:04,229 --> 00:03:01,910
uh it's like having a roommate in

58
00:03:06,149 --> 00:03:04,239
college but it's even better right now

59
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:06,159
we have our german crewmate alex gerst

60
00:03:10,149 --> 00:03:08,560
coming in to say hi we also have three

61
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:10,159
russian crew members

62
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:11,680
they couldn't be with us they're down

63
00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:13,680
doing some work but uh it's great we're

64
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:15,760
all good friends and it's great to learn

65
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:17,440
from other cultures so i'll let alex say

66
00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:18,800
a quick hi

67
00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:20,959
hello everybody down there

68
00:03:26,309 --> 00:03:24,000

00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:26,319
nicely mixed crew from all different

70
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:28,720
countries we have russians americans of

71
00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:31,360
course i'm german and it's really nice

72
00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:33,360
to live with different different people

73
00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:36,000
here because like it's a lot of fun

74
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:38,000
there's a lot of jokes and we learn from

75
00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:45,509
so i was told you guys speak german is

76
00:04:02,630 --> 00:03:57,270

00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:04,390
very good let's have a conversation in

78
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:21,349
from the armstrong

79
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:47,830
hello

80
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:49,749
i was teaching german to these guys

81
00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:51,360
maybe they wanted they want to try out

82
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:53,360
what they already learned

83
00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:54,800
no no

84
00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:56,320
all right thanks man you get back to

85
00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:03,029
and i'll go back to work

86
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:05,039
okay thank you we have another question

87
00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:06,800
here

88
00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:10,240
hi my name is sophie fredericks

89
00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:12,240
i'm six years old and this is my

90
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:14,800
christmas with all the buttons on the

91
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:16,960
street station do you know what they are

92
00:05:24,469 --> 00:05:20,160
due or are you responsible for the day

93
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:26,550
that's a good question

94
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:28,720
i know i don't know what all the buttons

95
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:30,400
do but luckily we have people on the

96
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:32,400
ground and mission controls all over the

97
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:34,720
world who help us figure that out so if

98
00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:36,639
i have a question i can just ask them

99
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:38,080
and there's experts on the ground that

100
00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:49,909
hello my name is alex chung and i'm 11

101
00:05:54,150 --> 00:05:52,720
years old my question is when you step

102
00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:54,160
outside of the international space

103
00:06:02,629 --> 00:05:56,560
station into the vacuum of space do you

104
00:06:08,390 --> 00:06:04,150
i'm going to let steve answer that one

105
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:08,400
because he's done five space walks

106
00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:10,240
it's a good question uh you feel a

107
00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:12,400
little vulnerable because you know

108
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:14,160
you are in a spacesuit but the outside

109
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:16,720
that spacesuit is the vacuum of space

110
00:06:19,909 --> 00:06:18,000
and that is a little bit of a dangerous

111
00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:19,919
spot but it's also a wonderful thing to

112
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:23,199
do the view is fantastic and

113
00:06:31,670 --> 00:06:24,560
we can't wait to go out again hopefully

114
00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:33,909
hi my name is isabelle butler i am nine

115
00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:35,919
years old is there an item that you wish

116
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,160
were on the international space station

117
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:40,240
that is not currently aboard what would

118
00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:50,309
uh i would have to say a shower i would

119
00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:52,240
love to take a shower that would be

120
00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:55,440
fantastic but in space with microgravity

121
00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:57,759
really without gravity it's impossible

122
00:07:07,990 --> 00:06:59,440
for us to take a shower so that's the

123
00:07:12,629 --> 00:07:10,629
hi my name is casey wislowski and when

124
00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:12,639
you are about to go up into space to the

125
00:07:15,909 --> 00:07:14,160
instructors who teach you tell you

126
00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:15,919
stories about people who didn't follow

127
00:07:23,189 --> 00:07:17,919
the rules to make you follow them in

128
00:07:25,909 --> 00:07:24,790
oh yeah

129
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:25,919
you definitely

130
00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:28,080
get stories i would say about people who

131
00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:30,639
didn't do what they were supposed to do

132
00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:33,599
and most of them are good examples of

133
00:07:37,029 --> 00:07:35,919
what not to do in space and

134
00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:37,039
things usually go wrong when that

135
00:07:41,189 --> 00:07:39,280
happens so we learn from those

136
00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:41,199
very well from that kind of example and

137
00:07:55,189 --> 00:07:50,990
hi my name

138
00:08:02,629 --> 00:07:55,199
is seven years old my question is

139
00:08:06,230 --> 00:08:04,070
that's a really good question because

140
00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:06,240
actually even though he floats here as

141
00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:08,000
you can see he's doing this we actually

142
00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:09,599
do have gravity here and that's an

143
00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:11,280
interesting little concept can you hold

144
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:13,120
this for a second there you read

145
00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:21,589
steve's going to get a globe of the

146
00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:23,280
earth here

147
00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:25,599
so you see this is the earth and what we

148
00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:27,360
do we're in orbit around the earth

149
00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:29,680
meaning we go around the earth and the

150
00:08:34,949 --> 00:08:32,240
idea is we are going so fast this way

151
00:08:36,709 --> 00:08:34,959
around the earth that as we fall we miss

152
00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:36,719
the earth so we're just kind of going

153
00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:39,440
really fast we're going 17 500 miles an

154
00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:42,000
hour this way and as we fall we just

155
00:08:46,310 --> 00:08:43,839
keep missing the earth so we're actually

156
00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:46,320
in a free fall the whole time so we do

157
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:48,240
have gravity but we're in a free fall

158
00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:00,630
my name is caitlin massey

159
00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:04,160
i am 11 years old and my question is did

160
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:06,560
someone or something inspire you to

161
00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:12,070
you got that one

162
00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:14,240
sure i think just watching

163
00:09:18,710 --> 00:09:16,480
i i grew up i was about your age in the

164
00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:18,720
middle 1980s and i watched all the

165
00:09:22,550 --> 00:09:20,720
astronauts launch on the space shuttle i

166
00:09:25,670 --> 00:09:22,560
wasn't alive when we went to the moon

167
00:09:27,829 --> 00:09:25,680
but that still was uh really something

168
00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:27,839
neat that was in in the the blood of all

169
00:09:31,990 --> 00:09:30,399
americans was going to the moon and so

170
00:09:33,590 --> 00:09:32,000
between that and watching all these

171
00:09:35,829 --> 00:09:33,600
astronauts fly on the space shuttle i

172
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:35,839
think those really inspired me

173
00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:37,600
to become an astronaut i remember that

174
00:09:40,949 --> 00:09:39,360
very well for my elementary and middle

175
00:09:50,150 --> 00:09:40,959
school days watching the space shuttle

176
00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:52,470
hi my name is sofia kranz and my

177
00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:56,000
question no sorry hi my name is sophia

178
00:10:01,829 --> 00:09:58,640
kearns and i am eight years old

179
00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:01,839
what happens my question is what happens

180
00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:03,920
when you make a paper airplane and use

181
00:10:11,509 --> 00:10:09,670
that's another good question so i just

182
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:11,519
happen to have

183
00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:14,800
a paper airplane all ready to go

184
00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:16,640
so i don't really know for sure you know

185
00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:17,920
definitely because i can just hold the

186
00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:20,320
paper airplane here and let it go

187
00:10:24,470 --> 00:10:23,040
and it's still

188
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:24,480
yeah go there you go right to the side

189
00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:26,720
there and so it still floats it doesn't

190
00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:28,320
need to even throw it to have it float

191
00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:29,600
in the air but let's see what happens

192
00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:37,190
so it still goes it just doesn't need to

193
00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:38,480
actually go

194
00:10:41,670 --> 00:10:40,240
float up but actually i think the wind

195
00:10:43,750 --> 00:10:41,680
we have a little air currents up here

196
00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:43,760
from the fans and i think that causes

197
00:10:53,910 --> 00:10:45,200
more of a difference in where it goes

198
00:10:58,230 --> 00:10:56,150
hi my name is mia pardaby and i'm 12

199
00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:58,240
years old i was wondering are there any

200
00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:00,240
side effects or symptoms to a decrease

201
00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:08,389
that's a great question we work out

202
00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:10,640
about two hours every single day up here

203
00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:12,880
so that we won't lose bone density and

204
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:15,200
we won't lose muscle mass and i think

205
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:16,720
i'll have to wait until i get home to

206
00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:18,480
answer this question but i would say

207
00:11:22,389 --> 00:11:20,399
we've got some great systems up here

208
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:22,399
that prevent those sorts of things so

209
00:11:34,949 --> 00:11:23,760
when we get back hopefully we'll be in

210
00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:37,030
hi my name is andy powell and i make

211
00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:39,440
your droid with no outside air pressure

212
00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:41,279
how do your spaceships keep air pressure

213
00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:49,269
well we have oxygen in our spacesuits

214
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:51,760
and it stays as you breathe the oxygen

215
00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:53,680
of course you could create carbon

216
00:11:57,350 --> 00:11:55,600
dioxide and we have to get rid of the

217
00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:57,360
carbon dioxide too so we have a little

218
00:12:00,470 --> 00:11:59,279
system with a filter that takes that out

219
00:12:02,470 --> 00:12:00,480
and as you breathe that down the

220
00:12:04,949 --> 00:12:02,480
pressure decreases in your suit and more

221
00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:04,959
oxygen is added into your suit and that

222
00:12:16,949 --> 00:12:06,800
keeps you all safe while you're outside

223
00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:17,829
hi

224
00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:20,000
my name is evelyn young and i am 10

225
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:21,200
years old

226
00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:24,000
my question is do you have a favorite

227
00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:26,480
object on the iss that we don't usually

228
00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:31,750
we don't usually have on earth that's a

229
00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:33,920
great question and i'm going to cheat a

230
00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:35,519
little bit here and i want to reverse

231
00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:37,440
your question because there's one thing

232
00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:40,079
that we don't have on the iss that makes

233
00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:42,079
this absolutely fantastic for me and

234
00:12:45,829 --> 00:12:43,600
you've been watching it the whole day

235
00:12:48,629 --> 00:12:45,839
but we really don't feel the effect of

236
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:48,639
gravity and so steve can walk on the

237
00:12:52,389 --> 00:12:50,560
ceiling or the walls

238
00:12:55,269 --> 00:12:52,399
i sleep on the ceiling

239
00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:55,279
alex you saw earlier sleeps on the floor

240
00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:57,839
and with without the effect of gravity

241
00:13:01,509 --> 00:12:59,519
everything becomes interesting just

242
00:13:03,509 --> 00:13:01,519
eating m m's becomes something very

243
00:13:12,069 --> 00:13:03,519
difficult but it's always fun and it

244
00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:14,310
hi my name is trevor street bar my

245
00:13:18,069 --> 00:13:16,720
question is does music get affected or

246
00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:18,079
in other words

247
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:25,910
yeah well where we are

248
00:13:29,829 --> 00:13:28,320
in this space station the atmosphere is

249
00:13:31,829 --> 00:13:29,839
just like it is on ground we have the

250
00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:31,839
same composition the same pressure so

251
00:13:35,910 --> 00:13:34,000
here it sounds the same but if you're

252
00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:35,920
outside like in a spacewalk things do

253
00:13:38,389 --> 00:13:37,120
sound different actually because you

254
00:13:40,470 --> 00:13:38,399
have such a low pressure in the

255
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:40,480
spacesuit so it actually is a little

256
00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:42,320
different then but in here i think it's

257
00:13:55,509 --> 00:13:53,189
hi my name is julia kearns and i'm 10

258
00:13:57,750 --> 00:13:55,519
years old my question is in the space

259
00:13:59,269 --> 00:13:57,760
station how long did it take to get your

260
00:14:03,910 --> 00:13:59,279
training and what did you study in

261
00:14:07,189 --> 00:14:05,350
so my training to get to the space

262
00:14:08,230 --> 00:14:07,199
station lasted about two and a half

263
00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:08,240
years

264
00:14:12,389 --> 00:14:10,079
and i have to say

265
00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:12,399
that all two and a half years i had

266
00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:15,040
gravity and so the first day that i got

267
00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:16,639
up to the space station without gravity

268
00:14:20,310 --> 00:14:18,320
it was as if i had never trained for

269
00:14:22,949 --> 00:14:20,320
anything everything was confusing and

270
00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:22,959
difficult uh but now that i've been up

271
00:14:26,470 --> 00:14:24,480
here for almost a month everything kind

272
00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:26,480
of feels like home so that was great and

273
00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:28,720
my major in college was engineering and

274
00:14:38,870 --> 00:14:30,320
specifically computers and

275
00:14:43,269 --> 00:14:41,110
hi i'm matthew fitzgerald and i'm 12

276
00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:43,279
years old my question for you is how do

277
00:14:52,069 --> 00:14:50,470
well that's a good question one of our

278
00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:52,079
crewmates with russian

279
00:14:56,150 --> 00:14:54,320
had his birthday while we were up here

280
00:14:57,670 --> 00:14:56,160
and we had a little party for him that's

281
00:14:59,829 --> 00:14:57,680
about all you really can do is have a

282
00:15:01,590 --> 00:14:59,839
party and we gave him gifts of course we

283
00:15:03,430 --> 00:15:01,600
didn't have many gifts to give we're not

284
00:15:05,910 --> 00:15:03,440
like we brought much up so we crowded up

285
00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:05,920
all his favorite foods we could find and

286
00:15:09,269 --> 00:15:07,680
presented him with that for the evening

287
00:15:10,629 --> 00:15:09,279
so he had the best meal he could

288
00:15:21,350 --> 00:15:10,639
possibly have up here and that's what we

289
00:15:26,230 --> 00:15:23,910
hi my name is ellie o'brien and my

290
00:15:31,590 --> 00:15:26,240
question for you is how do plants grow

291
00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:33,269
well at first we had trouble growing

292
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:35,040
plants in space but

293
00:15:40,389 --> 00:15:37,680
steve just finished an experiment about

294
00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:40,399
a week ago where he grew some amazing

295
00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:42,720
lettuce it it got just as big as on

296
00:15:46,470 --> 00:15:44,160
earth in fact maybe even a little bit

297
00:15:48,230 --> 00:15:46,480
bigger and uh

298
00:15:50,470 --> 00:15:48,240
we weren't really supposed to eat it but

299
00:15:52,310 --> 00:15:50,480
it tasted fantastic if i had sampled it

300
00:15:53,910 --> 00:15:52,320
no no no no

301
00:15:57,030 --> 00:15:53,920
and then one of our russian crew members

302
00:16:00,310 --> 00:15:57,040
just grew a beautiful onion and so it is

303
00:16:02,389 --> 00:16:00,320
possible they they do grow and uh so far

304
00:16:11,269 --> 00:16:02,399
to us it looks like they're at least as

305
00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:13,670
hi my name is maya kanan

306
00:16:18,150 --> 00:16:16,000
i'm nine years old we watched a video

307
00:16:20,069 --> 00:16:18,160
that showed astronauts after the return

308
00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:20,079
to earth and they were being carried

309
00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:22,639
from the spacecraft why can't you walk

310
00:16:29,110 --> 00:16:24,720
on earth and how long does it take to

311
00:16:33,269 --> 00:16:31,030
that's a good question everybody's a

312
00:16:34,629 --> 00:16:33,279
little different in how they adapt going

313
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:34,639
back to earth and how they adapt coming

314
00:16:37,509 --> 00:16:35,680
up here

315
00:16:39,829 --> 00:16:37,519
there's two issues we have there one is

316
00:16:41,509 --> 00:16:39,839
the strength of the muscles and the

317
00:16:42,870 --> 00:16:41,519
bones and that's what we're working on

318
00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:42,880
to make sure that's all good and i think

319
00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:44,160
we've got that one pretty much under

320
00:16:49,350 --> 00:16:46,959
control but the second issue is called

321
00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:49,360
kind of your balance system and how well

322
00:16:52,629 --> 00:16:51,120
does that work because we're up here

323
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:52,639
there's a thing in your inner ear that

324
00:16:56,069 --> 00:16:53,920
helps you keep your balance when you're

325
00:16:57,829 --> 00:16:56,079
on the ground it senses gravity or up

326
00:16:58,870 --> 00:16:57,839
here it doesn't really work so well and

327
00:17:01,350 --> 00:16:58,880
it kind of has to get out of the

328
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:01,360
equation we go back to ground and it has

329
00:17:04,789 --> 00:17:03,199
to start processing again and put it all

330
00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:04,799
together again and it kind of makes you

331
00:17:08,309 --> 00:17:06,480
a little wobbly and dizzy when you first

332
00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:08,319
come back that's why they don't walk

333
00:17:12,309 --> 00:17:10,559
right away but some people within 15

334
00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:12,319
minutes are walking around fine and some

335
00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:13,679
people it takes a couple days before

336
00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:26,390
hi my name is dan and i'm 53 years old

337
00:17:30,870 --> 00:17:29,039
and i was looking at your expedition 40

338
00:17:32,630 --> 00:17:30,880
patch and i noticed there's a cargo ship

339
00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:32,640
on it but it's not the really good

340
00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:33,760
looking one

341
00:17:37,029 --> 00:17:35,440
that brings all the cargo up to you and

342
00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:37,039
i'm wondering why you chose

343
00:17:49,990 --> 00:17:38,960
the lesser of the two cargo ships to put

344
00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:53,830
dan uh 53 years old from uh virginia or

345
00:17:57,430 --> 00:17:55,520
maryland i forget exactly where i'm

346
00:17:59,669 --> 00:17:57,440
gonna have to let commander of the space

347
00:18:02,070 --> 00:17:59,679
station steve swanson answer your very

348
00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:02,080
very difficult question

349
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:03,840
dan it's good to hear your voice i hope

350
00:18:07,350 --> 00:18:05,360
things are going well

351
00:18:09,830 --> 00:18:07,360
and dan the reason that one's on there

352
00:18:11,669 --> 00:18:09,840
versus the other fantastic vehicle that

353
00:18:13,830 --> 00:18:11,679
is going to come up here soon

354
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:13,840
is that one maybe one day could carry

355
00:18:28,230 --> 00:18:25,750
hi my name is madeline assad i'm 12

356
00:18:29,750 --> 00:18:28,240
years old and i was just wondering why

357
00:18:34,710 --> 00:18:29,760
do you have that stuffed animal giraffe

358
00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:36,630
uh this is actually this belong i have

359
00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:39,280
two uh little girls uh one eight and one

360
00:18:43,029 --> 00:18:40,960
six years old so i love talking to all

361
00:18:45,510 --> 00:18:43,039
of you because you all remind me of them

362
00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:45,520
and i miss them but this is their their

363
00:18:49,669 --> 00:18:46,960
toy it was the first toy that my

364
00:18:51,669 --> 00:18:49,679
eight-year-old ever got and uh when we

365
00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:51,679
launch in a russian spaceship that's how

366
00:18:54,630 --> 00:18:52,720
we get up here we launch with the

367
00:18:56,710 --> 00:18:54,640
russians and they have this long

368
00:18:58,549 --> 00:18:56,720
tradition since 1961 of hanging a

369
00:19:00,390 --> 00:18:58,559
stuffed animal with them in their

370
00:19:01,590 --> 00:19:00,400
capsule when they launched and so my

371
00:19:03,190 --> 00:19:01,600
commander

372
00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:03,200
he knew i had two little girls and he

373
00:19:06,950 --> 00:19:04,880
said if you want to fly one of their

374
00:19:08,549 --> 00:19:06,960
stuffed animals in our spaceship then

375
00:19:10,310 --> 00:19:08,559
that would be great and so he let me do

376
00:19:12,390 --> 00:19:10,320
it and now i keep it with me and i

377
00:19:13,990 --> 00:19:12,400
figured since we were speaking to some

378
00:19:16,070 --> 00:19:14,000
some younger students today that would

379
00:19:17,830 --> 00:19:16,080
be great to have giraffity along to kind

380
00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:17,840
of demonstrate weightlessness

381
00:19:23,750 --> 00:19:19,679
but for me it's a it's a great keepsake

382
00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:25,909
hi my name is ethan tucker and i'm 12

383
00:19:33,190 --> 00:19:27,679
years old what has been your favorite

384
00:19:35,909 --> 00:19:34,789
favorite experience that's another good

385
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:35,919
question

386
00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:37,520
just being here is a great experience

387
00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:40,480
again as reid pointed out the floating

388
00:19:45,029 --> 00:19:43,280
in here is just fantastic you really

389
00:19:47,350 --> 00:19:45,039
the way i look at it it's

390
00:19:48,789 --> 00:19:47,360
being a kid and finding the best

391
00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:48,799
playground you could ever find in the

392
00:19:52,549 --> 00:19:50,720
world and you get to live there so it's

393
00:19:53,669 --> 00:19:52,559
a really fun time with this

394
00:19:54,950 --> 00:19:53,679
but the other

395
00:19:56,710 --> 00:19:54,960
event probably though was doing a

396
00:19:58,310 --> 00:19:56,720
spacewalk and that was another fantastic

397
00:20:05,830 --> 00:19:58,320
thing to do that's probably those are my

398
00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:07,990
thank you we've had a great time talking
