00:00:06,070 --> 00:00:03,270
station this is time.com how do you hear

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,750
we have you loud and clear

3
00:00:15,030 --> 00:00:12,789
well thank you for being with us today

4
00:00:17,830 --> 00:00:15,040
and i wanted to just jump right in and

5
00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:17,840
ask you what time did you guys punch in

6
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:19,840
for work this morning and what does the

7
00:00:29,750 --> 00:00:27,109
we started about 7 30 this morning and

8
00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:29,760
the rest of the day is various things

9
00:00:33,110 --> 00:00:31,599
you have science science i have some

10
00:00:34,709 --> 00:00:33,120
repairs to do

11
00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:34,719
what do you got today alex

12
00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:36,320
i had several science experiments

13
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:37,600
already today

14
00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:39,840
and i think for the rest of the day we

15
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:43,360
have a training event for the new cargo

16
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:45,760
vehicle that we expect orbital that's

17
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:47,200
coming in the next two weeks so we're

18
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:48,800
going to actually use the station

19
00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:51,840
manipulator to do some practice grapple

20
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:53,680
with it and then in the evening i think

21
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:55,199
i have a little bit more science

22
00:00:58,709 --> 00:00:57,600
experience so it's a quite a

23
00:01:02,549 --> 00:00:58,719
various

24
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:02,559
well very day it's it's pretty nice

25
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:09,270
yeah when you include the working out we

26
00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:12,640
have to do it's about a 12-hour day

27
00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:14,720
and reid this one's for you you've been

28
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:16,880
a big presence on twitter and social

29
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:18,880
media something in the astronauts of the

30
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:21,280
apollo era never had to think about so

31
00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:23,360
how do you see the astronauts job

32
00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:29,429
well i think the astronauts have always

33
00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:31,119
wanted to share their journey with as

34
00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:32,799
many people as possible and i think

35
00:01:36,550 --> 00:01:34,799
apollo with the tools they had they did

36
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:36,560
a phenomenal job

37
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:38,240
we're just lucky to live in this day

38
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:40,479
where you know i take a photograph with

39
00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:42,880
the uh with the camera and uh we just

40
00:01:46,389 --> 00:01:44,479
come back and we can email it straight

41
00:01:47,109 --> 00:01:46,399
into our twitter feeds and it just does

42
00:02:14,390 --> 00:01:47,119
a

43
00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:14,400
job of helping us keep in touch with our

44
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:16,640
family so once a week we actually get to

45
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,840
do a fairly short video conference so

46
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:21,520
i've been talking to my wife and kids i

47
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:23,520
even had one with my mom and dad so

48
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:25,680
that's really been fantastic and that

49
00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:27,680
kind of support is really special for us

50
00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:30,000
up here and really really increases the

51
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:32,160
morale on the weekends

52
00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:33,920
and are you able to email back and forth

53
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:41,430
no we have the chance of emailing pretty

54
00:02:44,229 --> 00:02:42,720
much the whole day

55
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:44,239
once in a while if we have two minutes

56
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:47,200
between two experiments we can go to our

57
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:49,120
computer stations and then just send an

58
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:52,080
email and receive so uh actually i feel

59
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:54,480
more in touch with my family right now

60
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:56,319
than i did during most of the training

61
00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:58,080
because my family lives in europe and

62
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:00,640
the the time difference from houston is

63
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:03,040
actually uh quite uncomfortable to have

64
00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:04,800
a telephone conversation because it's

65
00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:07,040
either deep early in the morning for one

66
00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:10,000
party so up here for me it's easier and

67
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:13,200
that's remarkable i think

68
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:15,680
this one's for alex congratulations on

69
00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:18,720
yesterday's world cup score and how well

70
00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:20,560
have you been able to follow germany's

71
00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:27,990
we were actually pretty lucky that most

72
00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:29,680
of the games happened during the evening

73
00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:32,080
hours that we had here so after our work

74
00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:34,640
was done we got uh some live feed

75
00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:36,640
actually from mission control in houston

76
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:38,239
so that's never guaranteed and it only

77
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:39,680
works when we had some bandwidth left

78
00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:41,760
but we were pretty lucky so most of the

79
00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:44,159
games of the us and germany we we saw

80
00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:46,640
live and that was of course a good treat

81
00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:47,920
for us

82
00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:50,319
and there were a lot of wows yesterday

83
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:52,560
as you imagine

84
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:55,360
i would imagine down on earth too

85
00:03:59,509 --> 00:03:57,280
speaking of the world cup steve it was

86
00:04:01,990 --> 00:03:59,519
mostly fun and games when germany beat

87
00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:02,000
the us in the first round but the recent

88
00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:05,040
u.s russian friction over ukraine is a

89
00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:07,280
far more serious matter and the other

90
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:09,360
three members of your crew are russian

91
00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:11,840
cosmonauts does that kind of thing ever

92
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:14,000
present a problem in the close quarters

93
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:20,789
no it does not we've become good friends

94
00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:22,639
with our russian colleagues we've

95
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:24,320
trained with them for a long time been

96
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:26,479
up here with them for a long time and

97
00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:28,479
that kind of issues don't arise for us

98
00:04:33,189 --> 00:04:31,520
doesn't cause any kind of friction

99
00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:33,199
and i imagine the fact that you look out

100
00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:35,280
the window and you see no borders

101
00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:37,440
visible from space makes it gives you a

102
00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:44,469
yes it does as alex pointed out we also

103
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,479
watched the rush of the soccer games

104
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:48,479
together so that kind of bonds us

105
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:50,320
together too

106
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:52,880
absolutely we've got a handful of

107
00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:54,800
questions from uh some of our readers

108
00:04:58,870 --> 00:04:56,560
this one comes from a young reader named

109
00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:58,880
luke who wants to know what do you miss

110
00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:00,639
most from earth again you're up there

111
00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:06,230
oh it's the simple things i think that

112
00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:09,039
you missed most and for me personally i

113
00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:10,880
miss a shower a nice warm shower in the

114
00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:12,479
morning if we could get that going up

115
00:05:16,870 --> 00:05:14,639
here wow that would be something really

116
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:16,880
really super but for now that's the

117
00:05:22,469 --> 00:05:19,680
number one thing i did see i did see on

118
00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:22,479
a tv show a couple days ago a family sat

119
00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:25,600
down and had a big pizza with a soda and

120
00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:26,639
man

121
00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:28,800
i was at that point i was missing pizza

122
00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:30,880
a little bit more than the uh than the

123
00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:34,400
shower but overall that's where we are

124
00:05:37,830 --> 00:05:36,160
we actually did get three pizza

125
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:37,840
questions from readers so they were

126
00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:40,560
right on the money there um from some of

127
00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:43,280
our our photography fans who read time

128
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:45,360
what cameras do you use and are there

129
00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:47,680
limitations on what cameras can be used

130
00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:49,680
in space can you just use an iphone to

131
00:05:57,670 --> 00:05:55,590
well you could take an iphone but of

132
00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:57,680
course what we see out the window is so

133
00:06:01,270 --> 00:05:59,120
beautiful that we need something with a

134
00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:01,280
little bit more resolution so we have

135
00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:04,160
like professional slr cameras all sorts

136
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:06,160
of lenses sometimes like if you want to

137
00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:07,840
take a picture of a typhoon or a

138
00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:10,080
hurricane you need a wide-angle lens so

139
00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:12,080
and then if you want to take a picture

140
00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:14,240
of your hometown you have this huge 800

141
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:15,680
millimeter lens that you can actually

142
00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:18,000
see houses individual houses and it's

143
00:06:21,909 --> 00:06:20,319
pretty amazing what you can do and also

144
00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:21,919
it's amazing to see what the cosmic

145
00:06:26,309 --> 00:06:24,080
radiation does like we really have to

146
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:26,319
use up these cameras like they only last

147
00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:28,400
for half a year or a year and then the

148
00:06:31,670 --> 00:06:30,319
pixel damage through cosmic radiation is

149
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:31,680
so big that we actually bring up new

150
00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:33,840
ones

151
00:06:38,469 --> 00:06:37,039
i imagine the view of the nighttime sky

152
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,479
or it's always the nighttime sky of

153
00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:40,240
course is radically different with no

154
00:06:48,390 --> 00:06:46,150
that is true

155
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:48,400
the stars do not twinkle up here they

156
00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:50,319
just are pinpoints when there's so many

157
00:06:59,990 --> 00:06:56,790
where do you go for privacy the station

158
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:00,000
has as enough enough as much habitable

159
00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:02,880
space as i think at 747 and yet that's

160
00:07:06,150 --> 00:07:04,400
all the space you've got do you ever

161
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:06,160
find that you need a place to retreat

162
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:12,070
well i'd say you know working with these

163
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:14,319
guys i'd almost say no it's uh it's

164
00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:16,240
always a good it's always good fun but

165
00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:17,919
we each actually do have we each

166
00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:19,680
actually have our own little bedroom

167
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:22,319
it's about the size of a telephone booth

168
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,800
so it can fit about you and we have two

169
00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:26,319
laptops in there to connect with the

170
00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:29,280
outside world but uh really it's pretty

171
00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:31,440
comfortable and we treat those with the

172
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:34,000
with the highest level of respect so my

173
00:07:37,589 --> 00:07:36,400
bedroom is my room and uh and that's my

174
00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:37,599
little place to go if i need some

175
00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:39,599
privacy but to date i mean it's really

176
00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:41,360
just been a sleeping quarters most of

177
00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:43,120
the time we're out here socializing

178
00:07:46,230 --> 00:07:44,720
inviting our russian crew members down

179
00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:46,240
or heading down to see them

180
00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:48,080
in the evenings and really it's it's a

181
00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:51,360
good community living situation

182
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:54,080
and speaking of sleeping do you dream

183
00:07:57,909 --> 00:07:55,919
differently in space is there something

184
00:08:00,150 --> 00:07:57,919
about the experience unconsciously

185
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:00,160
knowing where you are that changes the

186
00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:08,710
actually i've been asked that question a

187
00:08:13,189 --> 00:08:11,120
lot and i in the first weeks i never

188
00:08:14,629 --> 00:08:13,199
remembered my dreams but i did have one

189
00:08:16,469 --> 00:08:14,639
dream that i remembered last week and

190
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:16,479
that was actually with with reed

191
00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:19,440
launching on a rocket from canada to fly

192
00:08:23,350 --> 00:08:21,520
to baikonur from where we mounted that

193
00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:23,360
rocket onto a soyuz and then flew to

194
00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:25,199
space so i thought that was a pretty

195
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:26,800
remarkable dream

196
00:08:30,469 --> 00:08:28,560
and one thing another thing that i

197
00:08:32,709 --> 00:08:30,479
noticed at night is actually that i

198
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:32,719
sometimes i wake up at night and i don't

199
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:34,000
know where up and down is of course

200
00:08:37,909 --> 00:08:36,000
there is no up and down and i believe

201
00:08:40,149 --> 00:08:37,919
that in that moment i think i'm head

202
00:08:41,589 --> 00:08:40,159
down or somewhere somewhere turn around

203
00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:41,599
but then i switch on the light and i

204
00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:43,440
realize that i'm actually completely

205
00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:45,440
normal so that happened to me quite a

206
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:47,200
few times and i actually did hear that

207
00:08:51,910 --> 00:08:48,880
happens to to other people once in a

208
00:08:57,269 --> 00:08:54,710
and i'm sure there are lots of good days

209
00:08:59,190 --> 00:08:57,279
in space what's the toughest day you've

210
00:09:01,430 --> 00:08:59,200
had up there a day you were just happy

211
00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:01,440
to see come to an end and go to bed and

212
00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:07,269
there was a day where alex took some

213
00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:08,880
hair clippers

214
00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:10,959
and he stood a little too close to me

215
00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:13,839
and our commander dr steve swanson and i

216
00:09:18,710 --> 00:09:15,600
gotta say i was happy when that day came

217
00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:19,990
and you've got a few months for your

218
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:22,640
hair to grow back so that's good

219
00:09:25,430 --> 00:09:24,160
and i guess this will be our final

220
00:09:27,190 --> 00:09:25,440
question

221
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:27,200
i know you don't get a lot of free time

222
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:29,680
but when you do have it how much of that

223
00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:32,320
do you spend simply enjoying the view of

224
00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:38,710
almost all of it that's one of our

225
00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:40,800
biggest free time events that we do up

226
00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:42,959
here and then of course we you always

227
00:09:46,389 --> 00:09:44,480
want to take a picture and share it so

228
00:09:47,910 --> 00:09:46,399
then we spend the other part trying to

229
00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:47,920
take process the pictures and get them

230
00:09:52,310 --> 00:09:49,440
down to everybody else so that's pretty

231
00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:52,320
much what we do with our free time

232
00:10:00,790 --> 00:09:54,080
terrific thank you so much

233
00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:03,430
all right we are joined live from space

234
00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:04,959
now and i only probably get to say that

235
00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:07,440
once in my life so i'm enjoying it live

236
00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:10,240
in space with astronaut reid wiseman

237
00:10:16,470 --> 00:10:12,880
reid how is the weather 250 miles above

238
00:10:19,990 --> 00:10:17,990
today i could actually say it's a little

239
00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:20,000
bit chilly in the u.s laboratory where

240
00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:22,480
i'm standing but in general our weather

241
00:10:26,949 --> 00:10:25,600
is perfectly constant about 72 degrees

242
00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:26,959
and maybe uh

243
00:10:34,069 --> 00:10:29,680
10 to 15 humidity so it pretty much

244
00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:35,590
all right well of course we get to speak

245
00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:37,120
with you today reid because you were our

246
00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:40,240
graduate of rpi just the third from that

247
00:10:44,230 --> 00:10:42,640
school i believe to make it into space

248
00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:44,240
and you honored that legacy three days

249
00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:45,120
ago

250
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:47,279
snapping this photo we'll bring it up

251
00:10:51,190 --> 00:10:49,519
here of the city of troy and rpi there

252
00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:51,200
it is you must be so proud of your alma

253
00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:56,870
oh absolutely i mean that that school

254
00:11:01,670 --> 00:10:59,200
really that's where i grew up that

255
00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:01,680
school set the ground road for me for

256
00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:03,200
the rest of my life for my career in the

257
00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:05,600
navy and then also coming down to nasa

258
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:07,600
so there are so many gifts i've had in

259
00:11:12,150 --> 00:11:10,320
my life and i really owe about 90 of

260
00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:12,160
them to the education and really the

261
00:11:17,350 --> 00:11:14,079
life education as well that i got at

262
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,829
anybody you want to say hi to there reid

263
00:11:25,590 --> 00:11:23,829
uh i just pull this out real quick and i

264
00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:25,600
i think i should just say hi to to

265
00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:28,720
everybody at rpi i'm ready for hockey

266
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:30,640
season to begin i wish i was going to

267
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:32,720
stand in line at union at the union to

268
00:11:36,150 --> 00:11:34,640
buy some tickets but i think this year

269
00:11:39,670 --> 00:11:36,160
i'll just have to watch it on the on the

270
00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:41,910
oh my gosh that is amazing how how

271
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:43,120
timely

272
00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:45,040
thank you for having it uh of course

273
00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:47,120
you're a twitter celebrity now if you're

274
00:11:50,949 --> 00:11:49,200
not aware folks reed is tweeting out

275
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:50,959
space pictures to

276
00:11:56,069 --> 00:11:53,600
more than 150 000 followers and every

277
00:11:58,389 --> 00:11:56,079
day myself included we all get these

278
00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:58,399
beautiful beautiful spectacular shots of

279
00:12:01,509 --> 00:11:59,920
the earth and let's look at a few here

280
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:01,519
uh reed we're looking at pictures of the

281
00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:03,680
northern lights you said you could you

282
00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:05,120
felt you could almost reach out and

283
00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:07,760
touch them and you seem so humbled by

284
00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:10,320
these views of the earth by these views

285
00:12:13,990 --> 00:12:11,519
of the earth

286
00:12:15,829 --> 00:12:14,000
well i had never seen the aurora before

287
00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:15,839
i came up to the space station

288
00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:17,120
unfortunately never got to see them with

289
00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:19,360
my own eyes on earth but up here it's

290
00:12:23,269 --> 00:12:21,600
just this amazing green light that kind

291
00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:23,279
of snakes its way through our upper

292
00:12:28,389 --> 00:12:26,320
atmosphere and we're only 250 miles up

293
00:12:29,829 --> 00:12:28,399
and it almost feels like you're flying

294
00:12:32,310 --> 00:12:29,839
through the aurora when you're on the

295
00:12:34,389 --> 00:12:32,320
space station it's incredibly dynamic

296
00:12:37,509 --> 00:12:34,399
very very beautiful sight to see from

297
00:12:40,470 --> 00:12:38,790
well it's just stunning to look at

298
00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:40,480
you're keeping up with current events

299
00:12:45,509 --> 00:12:43,200
too read some pictures of uh our recent

300
00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:45,519
hurricane arthur that we've got and

301
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:48,160
we've also seen some shots of super

302
00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:50,560
typhoon nagori that's over japan right

303
00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:52,880
now what strikes you about a storm on

304
00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:54,480
earth when you're able to see it from

305
00:13:01,910 --> 00:13:00,069
oh i really the the development of the

306
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:01,920
clouds the three-dimensional look of

307
00:13:06,550 --> 00:13:03,760
these storms from above being able to

308
00:13:09,910 --> 00:13:06,560
look at the eye of a hurricane uh that

309
00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:09,920
the eye of super typhoon niaguri was 65

310
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:11,600
kilometers across

311
00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:13,519
my crewmate alex was letting us know

312
00:13:17,269 --> 00:13:15,440
that last night and from up here it just

313
00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:17,279
it looks tiny and when you really put it

314
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:18,720
in your mind of how enormous these

315
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:20,880
storms are and both of these storms

316
00:13:24,949 --> 00:13:23,680
impacted family members of mine my wife

317
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:24,959
and my parents were on the east coast of

318
00:13:28,790 --> 00:13:26,880
the u.s when arthur hit and then my

319
00:13:31,190 --> 00:13:28,800
brother and his family were on okinawa

320
00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:31,200
when niagori came through so for me it

321
00:13:34,870 --> 00:13:32,880
was more than just looking at a weather

322
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:34,880
system it was a real personal event and

323
00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:36,720
it was really nice to see these storms

324
00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:38,560
develop and also know that at least up

325
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:39,920
to this point they didn't cause a whole

326
00:13:47,269 --> 00:13:45,189
you've also seen you've said before too

327
00:13:49,509 --> 00:13:47,279
that the the clouds turn

328
00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:49,519
a 2d view of earth into 3d what do you

329
00:13:57,509 --> 00:13:55,670
well when you look out from 250 miles up

330
00:14:00,470 --> 00:13:57,519
the earth is really just an almost

331
00:14:02,949 --> 00:14:00,480
perfect sphere with with one exception

332
00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:02,959
when the sun starts to set or rise and

333
00:14:07,189 --> 00:14:05,279
you can see the sunlight kind of coming

334
00:14:09,030 --> 00:14:07,199
from almost from underneath the clouds

335
00:14:10,550 --> 00:14:09,040
it just lifts the clouds up off of the

336
00:14:12,069 --> 00:14:10,560
ocean or off of the continents that

337
00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:12,079
they're over and it gives you this

338
00:14:16,790 --> 00:14:14,800
spectacular 3d feeling that it's really

339
00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:16,800
the only time you feel that up here and

340
00:14:20,629 --> 00:14:19,120
it's really really crystal clear and

341
00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:20,639
it's hard to show it in the photos i

342
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:22,320
think i've captured it once or twice but

343
00:14:29,509 --> 00:14:28,230
i'm sure it's just best to see it from

344
00:14:31,269 --> 00:14:29,519
up there what can you tell us about

345
00:14:35,269 --> 00:14:31,279
expedition 40 what sorts of uh science

346
00:14:39,509 --> 00:14:37,110
well we've we've been going for about a

347
00:14:41,829 --> 00:14:39,519
month and a half now and i would say uh

348
00:14:44,949 --> 00:14:41,839
at least 50 to 60 of our days are based

349
00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:44,959
on science right now i'm i'm burning a

350
00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:46,880
lot of stuff but we have a bunch of very

351
00:14:51,030 --> 00:14:48,800
small fuel samples and we're burning

352
00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:51,040
them here in microgravity just to see if

353
00:14:54,870 --> 00:14:53,199
we change the oxygen how do these flames

354
00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:54,880
change and how does the suppression of

355
00:14:58,470 --> 00:14:56,639
these flames change when we're up here

356
00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:58,480
in space and some really exciting uh

357
00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:00,240
results my crewmates have been working

358
00:15:05,509 --> 00:15:02,480
on some capillary flow experiments

359
00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:05,519
looking at fuel in tanks and how uh

360
00:15:10,230 --> 00:15:07,680
zero-g or microgravity environment

361
00:15:12,550 --> 00:15:10,240
changes the way water works it's amazing

362
00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:12,560
to watch water just creep all over if

363
00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:13,839
you get some on your hand it'll just

364
00:15:18,069 --> 00:15:15,760
creep up your arm very different than

365
00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:18,079
down on earth and of course our bodies

366
00:15:21,350 --> 00:15:19,360
are

367
00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:21,360
huge laboratories up here so we've been

368
00:15:26,949 --> 00:15:24,240
doing ultrasounds of leg muscles

369
00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:26,959
ultrasounds of our hearts our eyes

370
00:15:32,230 --> 00:15:28,959
so really tons of work tons of work

371
00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:33,829
important work too but i also understand

372
00:15:39,509 --> 00:15:36,880
there's time for fun we are reading some

373
00:15:41,990 --> 00:15:39,519
tweets about how you like to watch world

374
00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:42,000
cup soccer while hanging from the

375
00:15:45,269 --> 00:15:43,600
ceiling and i also understand you had to

376
00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:45,279
shave your head was that a bet that you

377
00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:51,430

378
00:15:55,590 --> 00:15:52,800
game and my crewmates right here

379
00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:55,600
laughing at me from behind the camera um

380
00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:57,360
but that you know it was great crew

381
00:16:01,350 --> 00:15:59,199

383

384
00:16:07,269 --> 00:16:04,639
rest of the mission very low maintenance

385
00:16:08,870 --> 00:16:07,279
very easy up here and really watching

386
00:16:10,310 --> 00:16:08,880
world cup has been the thing that's

387
00:16:12,310 --> 00:16:10,320
brought our crew together at least for

388
00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:12,320
the first month up here uh we have three

389
00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:14,160
russian crewmates one german and two

390
00:16:18,069 --> 00:16:16,240
americans and every time there's a world

391
00:16:19,749 --> 00:16:18,079
cup game on we crowd around this little

392
00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:19,759
satellite uplink that we have and we

393
00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:21,600
watch the play so it was great to see

394
00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:23,680
germany brazil last night especially

395
00:16:29,509 --> 00:16:25,839
having my crewmate alex up here it was a

396
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:30,870
reid we're starting to come to a close

397
00:16:34,150 --> 00:16:32,560
here in our limited time i want to draw

398
00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:34,160
our attention to this one picture

399
00:16:38,470 --> 00:16:36,240
sometimes you write almost poetically on

400
00:16:41,430 --> 00:16:38,480
twitter and you took this shot that

401
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:41,440
we're going to see of one single die uh

402
00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:43,680
from a pair of dice kind of floating in

403
00:16:47,990 --> 00:16:46,079
the air over earth suspended in space it

404
00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:48,000
seems so metaphorically beautiful almost

405
00:16:51,749 --> 00:16:50,399
to say that in the end our lives on

406
00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:51,759
earth are little more than a roll of the

407
00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:57,430
oh i certainly hope there's more to it i

408
00:17:01,910 --> 00:16:59,759
think you make your own luck and if you

409
00:17:03,030 --> 00:17:01,920
work hard and you just try to be overall

410
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:03,040
good person that you're going to have a

411
00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:05,839
great path i'd say i really love that

412
00:17:08,949 --> 00:17:07,280
photo because

413
00:17:11,510 --> 00:17:08,959
here's this beautiful earth and there's

414
00:17:12,949 --> 00:17:11,520
this completely out of place object just

415
00:17:15,669 --> 00:17:12,959
floating there and it's a it's a

416
00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:15,679
human-made object i think that's why so

417
00:17:19,669 --> 00:17:17,280
many people kind of relate to this it's

418
00:17:21,510 --> 00:17:19,679
a simple little die and it looks so

419
00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:21,520
foreign in this place and that's how we

420
00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:23,760
feel up here we we love living and

421
00:17:27,270 --> 00:17:25,600
working up here but it's a completely

422
00:17:28,870 --> 00:17:27,280
foreign environment it's really amazing

00:17:32,630 --> 00:17:28,880
