1 00:00:11,750 --> 00:00:08,600 I became an astronaut in 1998 and I 2 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:11,760 became one because I wanted a job that I 3 00:00:16,430 --> 00:00:14,250 could use both my brain and my body you 4 00:00:18,140 --> 00:00:16,440 know for and I wanted some adventure in 5 00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:18,150 there too so that's why I like this job 6 00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:20,430 very much it's a physical job you have 7 00:00:23,540 --> 00:00:21,840 to work out you have to do things that 8 00:00:24,950 --> 00:00:23,550 are physical at the same time you have 9 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:24,960 to use your brain to accomplish your 10 00:00:35,899 --> 00:00:34,050 task hi my name is Carter Stokes from 11 00:00:46,340 --> 00:00:35,909 Boyett junior high school and this 12 00:00:48,979 --> 00:00:46,350 question is for Reed well i would say 13 00:00:51,619 --> 00:00:48,989 working in zero gravity first of all is 14 00:00:53,389 --> 00:00:51,629 extremely difficult because everything 15 00:00:55,639 --> 00:00:53,399 floats around but then once you get over 16 00:00:57,079 --> 00:00:55,649 the fact that it's very tough as you can 17 00:00:59,059 --> 00:00:57,089 see here with commander swanson it's 18 00:01:00,319 --> 00:00:59,069 absolutely the it's the best jungle gym 19 00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:00,329 it's the most fun place you could ever 20 00:01:04,670 --> 00:01:02,460 work in your life we just lift your feet 21 00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:04,680 up and just float around it's really 22 00:01:28,539 --> 00:01:26,800 that's a good question my muscles mostly 23 00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:28,549 get tired from working out we have a 24 00:01:32,289 --> 00:01:30,350 machine up here that's like lifting 25 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:32,299 weights and we use that every day to 26 00:01:36,609 --> 00:01:34,610 make sure I muscle stay strong and so 27 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:36,619 that's when my muscles mostly get tired 28 00:01:39,910 --> 00:01:38,090 there are some days when your hands will 29 00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:39,920 get tired if you're working a lot with a 30 00:01:47,380 --> 00:01:41,270 wrench or something like that but mostly 31 00:01:49,389 --> 00:01:47,390 just from the machine for work it out hi 32 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:49,399 my name is Marco Gomez from Nicholson 33 00:01:53,139 --> 00:01:51,530 elementary school and this question is 34 00:01:54,789 --> 00:01:53,149 for reading what is the biggest 35 00:02:01,389 --> 00:01:54,799 challenge you ever say since being on 36 00:02:02,859 --> 00:02:01,399 the ISS well we'd like to joke around 37 00:02:05,529 --> 00:02:02,869 that it's working with each other that's 38 00:02:08,350 --> 00:02:05,539 our biggest challenge since arriving but 39 00:02:09,940 --> 00:02:08,360 for me personally it is just working 40 00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:09,950 without gravity I've said it a couple 41 00:02:16,030 --> 00:02:14,000 times but just little tiny parts if you 42 00:02:17,890 --> 00:02:16,040 put your pencil down for just a second 43 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:17,900 then it's floating away and you turn 44 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:19,730 over this way and come back and now the 45 00:02:24,340 --> 00:02:22,370 microphone is gone and just getting your 46 00:02:26,140 --> 00:02:24,350 mind to work without gravity is much 47 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:26,150 more difficult than I expected but but 48 00:02:29,229 --> 00:02:27,890 I'm getting there and I'm almost I 49 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:29,239 haven't lost a tool in a couple weeks 50 00:03:02,370 --> 00:02:59,700 yeah we do have chores we mostly do them 51 00:03:04,290 --> 00:03:02,380 on a weekly basis for cleaning so every 52 00:03:06,510 --> 00:03:04,300 weekend Saturday morning is our cleaning 53 00:03:08,430 --> 00:03:06,520 cleaning time we come up here and we 54 00:03:10,830 --> 00:03:08,440 each have a couple modules we have to 55 00:03:12,570 --> 00:03:10,840 clean and we will will vacuum it we wipe 56 00:03:14,370 --> 00:03:12,580 it down try to make it all nice and 57 00:03:16,290 --> 00:03:14,380 pretty we do that we also have other 58 00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:16,300 chores that we have to do on station 59 00:03:20,190 --> 00:03:18,310 like eating the food out from where 60 00:03:21,930 --> 00:03:20,200 storage area and put into areas where we 61 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:21,940 can use it there's just many other tasks 62 00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:23,770 like that that we do on a regular basis 63 00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:36,660 this question is for Reed how long did 64 00:03:43,860 --> 00:03:38,080 it take you to complete your mission 65 00:03:46,350 --> 00:03:43,870 returns are that's a good question so my 66 00:03:47,610 --> 00:03:46,360 mission is just a little under six 67 00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:47,620 months it'll end up being about a 68 00:03:51,510 --> 00:03:49,840 hundred and sixty six days but our 69 00:03:54,690 --> 00:03:51,520 mission up here is ongoing and we've 70 00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:54,700 been up here four over just over five 71 00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:56,560 thousand days we've had people on the 72 00:04:00,750 --> 00:03:58,690 International Space Station and long 73 00:04:02,310 --> 00:04:00,760 after I leave this this vehicle will be 74 00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:02,320 up here orbiting the Earth with new 75 00:04:11,180 --> 00:04:04,000 crews and new crews continuing our 76 00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:11,190 research so the Mission Continues hi I 77 00:04:16,349 --> 00:04:13,840 Robinson from Boise high school in this 78 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:16,359 cosmic fifties how long does it lead to 79 00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:23,650 that's a good question to get this suit 80 00:04:28,570 --> 00:04:26,240 on and get yourself ready is a quite a 81 00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:28,580 long process the suit itself only takes 82 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:29,780 maybe an hour an hour and a half to 83 00:04:33,730 --> 00:04:31,970 actually get on however the process to 84 00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:33,740 go outside the door is much longer 85 00:04:38,290 --> 00:04:35,600 because we have to get rid of the 86 00:04:41,230 --> 00:04:38,300 nitrogen in our bodies before we can go 87 00:04:43,540 --> 00:04:41,240 out into space and so that takes about 88 00:04:45,220 --> 00:04:43,550 three or four hours that dad that into 89 00:04:47,260 --> 00:04:45,230 it too so it's a long time my time you 90 00:04:49,210 --> 00:04:47,270 get that suit on all ready to go and get 91 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:49,220 your nitrogen out of your body it's 92 00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:51,650 about four or five hours and it's 93 00:04:59,640 --> 00:04:53,120 already a good part of your days already 94 00:05:04,990 --> 00:05:03,070 hi my name is samantha ronson from perry 95 00:05:06,850 --> 00:05:05,000 central middle school and this question 96 00:05:14,380 --> 00:05:06,860 so read how do you communicate with 97 00:05:16,270 --> 00:05:14,390 earth Roger anywhere in orbit so 98 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:16,280 communication with earth is it's 99 00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:18,410 actually very very good from up here I 100 00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:20,510 have email so i can send send and 101 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:23,120 receive emails which is in today's world 102 00:05:27,940 --> 00:05:26,210 pretty commonplace but i also at once 103 00:05:30,130 --> 00:05:27,950 every weekend on sunday i get to do a 104 00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:30,140 video chat with my family which is great 105 00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:32,510 i have two little kids and my wife and 106 00:05:36,430 --> 00:05:34,940 my kids gather around and we do a video 107 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:36,440 chat actually on the computer right 108 00:05:40,450 --> 00:05:38,810 behind me here and that is fantastic to 109 00:05:51,130 --> 00:05:40,460 get to see them every week just really 110 00:06:07,059 --> 00:05:51,140 it warms my heart from the new school 111 00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:09,469 yes body measures that's a good question 112 00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:12,960 well for me my spine grew a little bit 113 00:06:16,490 --> 00:06:15,150 about an inch or so maybe an inch and a 114 00:06:19,010 --> 00:06:16,500 half and the other thing that's 115 00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:19,020 interesting I found out is the size like 116 00:06:23,420 --> 00:06:21,449 of your calf on your thry decrease a 117 00:06:26,930 --> 00:06:23,430 little bit and I think that's mostly due 118 00:06:28,820 --> 00:06:26,940 to the fluid shift we have like blood 119 00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:28,830 and other fluids in our body kind of 120 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:30,240 shifts up because we don't have gravity 121 00:06:34,430 --> 00:06:32,370 pulling them down anymore and then on 122 00:06:36,110 --> 00:06:34,440 earth they kind of pool in your legs and 123 00:06:37,820 --> 00:06:36,120 then and when you walk they actually 124 00:06:39,469 --> 00:06:37,830 kind of help circulate but up here they 125 00:06:41,450 --> 00:06:39,479 don't have to pull your legs they got to 126 00:06:43,610 --> 00:06:41,460 all float up and me don't have that any 127 00:06:44,869 --> 00:06:43,620 longer in our legs and hence our legs 128 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:44,879 are a little bit smaller than they are 129 00:07:13,380 --> 00:06:56,490 on earth this is questions that are 130 00:07:18,580 --> 00:07:16,240 so that's a great question i actually 131 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:18,590 just took a picture of the Superdome 132 00:07:22,450 --> 00:07:21,050 this morning and i put it online so if 133 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:22,460 you can do a good search you'll be able 134 00:07:26,290 --> 00:07:24,890 to find it we flew right over and it was 135 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:26,300 a really nice look like a really nice 136 00:07:31,030 --> 00:07:29,090 morning very clear we also though so 137 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:31,040 yeah we can see we can see cities 138 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:34,010 through a pretty good zoom lens but we 139 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:36,050 also in the u.s. lab we have a big 140 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:38,210 telescope and it looks straight down and 141 00:07:41,410 --> 00:07:39,890 its ground commanded and it's taking 142 00:07:43,450 --> 00:07:41,420 pictures all the time and through that 143 00:08:02,470 --> 00:07:43,460 telescope the resolution on earth is 144 00:08:05,620 --> 00:08:02,480 absolutely fantastic that's a good 145 00:08:07,810 --> 00:08:05,630 question we course want to fix that when 146 00:08:09,580 --> 00:08:07,820 I says breaks and it becomes a whole 147 00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:09,590 team there's people on the ground that 148 00:08:13,030 --> 00:08:11,360 are experts on each one of these systems 149 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:13,040 on board up here and they get together 150 00:08:16,690 --> 00:08:14,570 and they come up with a plan on how to 151 00:08:18,910 --> 00:08:16,700 fix it and so when they get to come with 152 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:18,920 this plan then we will execute it on 153 00:08:22,540 --> 00:08:20,570 board here we will do whatever they ask 154 00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:22,550 us to do it could be change out the part 155 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:24,080 it could be going to the part and 156 00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:25,730 replace it be all sorts of different 157 00:08:35,460 --> 00:08:27,950 things but we just fix it just like we 158 00:08:38,469 --> 00:08:35,470 would any other thing hi my name is 159 00:08:40,250 --> 00:08:38,479 Marie Robinson for a junior high school 160 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:40,260 and miss cousin in Surrey 161 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:48,930 the room all right so there is a chance 162 00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:51,810 that my mom up in Maryland is watching 163 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:54,000 this so I really should say no 164 00:08:58,430 --> 00:08:56,010 absolutely not it would never happened 165 00:09:01,130 --> 00:08:58,440 but the truth is actually we get hit all 166 00:09:03,290 --> 00:09:01,140 the time and it's always by very very 167 00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:03,300 very tiny particles that we can't even 168 00:09:07,730 --> 00:09:06,390 see and but we actually had a window get 169 00:09:09,650 --> 00:09:07,740 hit the other day and we noticed that 170 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:09,660 but it just made a little tiny just like 171 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:12,210 a little rock hitting a car window so it 172 00:09:15,170 --> 00:09:13,770 does happen and there's little marks all 173 00:09:18,590 --> 00:09:15,180 over the space station if you look 174 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:18,600 really really close but so far it's just 175 00:09:39,890 --> 00:09:20,610 been tiny particles and absolutely no 176 00:09:41,450 --> 00:09:39,900 threat to us mom oh the most beautiful 177 00:09:43,070 --> 00:09:41,460 thing that's a tough one of course it's 178 00:09:44,780 --> 00:09:43,080 earth looking back at Earth in my 179 00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:44,790 opinion and then now what's the most 180 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:46,110 beautiful thing about looking back at 181 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:47,850 Earth there's so many things but 182 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:49,890 probably I like a sunset and with a 183 00:09:58,330 --> 00:09:51,810 little bit of Aurora mixed in let that I 184 00:10:02,570 --> 00:10:00,950 hi my name is Katie hen's egg from 185 00:10:04,850 --> 00:10:02,580 Nicholson elementary school and this 186 00:10:06,380 --> 00:10:04,860 question is to read well we was right on 187 00:10:11,570 --> 00:10:06,390 the first time you went to say 188 00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:11,580 I already said my mom might be watching 189 00:10:16,730 --> 00:10:14,310 this yeah but the the first thing that I 190 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:16,740 was ever scared of was just after we got 191 00:10:22,430 --> 00:10:20,610 into orbit in our space capsule one of 192 00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:22,440 my crewmates saw that our pressure 193 00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:24,570 inside the capsule was falling very very 194 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:26,760 quickly and I got to tell you my heart 195 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:29,010 started going crazy and I thought our 196 00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:31,290 atmosphere was depleting inside of our 197 00:10:36,020 --> 00:10:33,690 spacecraft but in reality all it was was 198 00:10:37,460 --> 00:10:36,030 the Sun was coming up and it was warming 199 00:10:38,780 --> 00:10:37,470 up and it was it was warming our 200 00:10:40,610 --> 00:10:38,790 spaceship up but it was changing the 201 00:10:42,260 --> 00:10:40,620 pressure inside and that was all that 202 00:10:44,270 --> 00:10:42,270 was causing it so after about a minute 203 00:10:46,370 --> 00:10:44,280 it stabilized out and it was smooth 204 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:46,380 sailing from that on so sure from time 205 00:10:49,370 --> 00:10:47,850 to time we get scared but for the most 206 00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:49,380 part we have great training and that's 207 00:11:14,900 --> 00:10:50,880 what we fall back on and everything has 208 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:16,830 there are lots of good science 209 00:11:20,850 --> 00:11:18,370 experiments up here but I think my 210 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:20,860 favorite is spheres I have one right 211 00:11:25,380 --> 00:11:23,410 here and the idea I like this so much 212 00:11:27,180 --> 00:11:25,390 one I like it because we can control it 213 00:11:29,190 --> 00:11:27,190 moves around station it's got little 214 00:11:31,260 --> 00:11:29,200 jets that can fly around station which i 215 00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:31,270 think is really cool and the other part 216 00:11:35,810 --> 00:11:33,310 about it is we did an experiment where 217 00:11:38,310 --> 00:11:35,820 the students just like you guys got to 218 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:38,320 program the software to control this and 219 00:11:41,940 --> 00:11:40,090 there was a competition and see who 220 00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:41,950 could do that the best and we got to 221 00:11:52,110 --> 00:11:43,510 work on that and I really enjoyed that I 222 00:11:54,270 --> 00:11:52,120 thought that was fantastic hi my name is 223 00:11:56,430 --> 00:11:54,280 whitney taylor from monmouth medical and 224 00:12:04,680 --> 00:11:56,440 this question trade what if they look 225 00:12:07,710 --> 00:12:04,690 like that's an easy one it depends if 226 00:12:10,620 --> 00:12:07,720 the Sun has just gone down the stars 227 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:10,630 just start to come out and really night 228 00:12:15,450 --> 00:12:12,970 night night time is amazing so you can 229 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:15,460 see just thousands of stars they don't 230 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:17,050 twinkle like they do on earth they are 231 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:18,850 just tiny pinpricks of light all over it 232 00:12:22,650 --> 00:12:20,890 doesn't even look real but then when the 233 00:12:25,470 --> 00:12:22,660 Sun comes up that's kind of my favorite 234 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:25,480 because space is completely black and 235 00:12:31,290 --> 00:12:27,610 then you see the blue of the earth and 236 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:31,300 the curve of the atmosphere out there 237 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:33,610 and it's absolutely spectacular up 238 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:41,290 against that blackness of space hi my 239 00:12:45,540 --> 00:12:43,330 name is Caruso from Berea junior high 240 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:45,550 school and this question is for Steve 241 00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:48,170 how long do you have to be in space 242 00:12:56,230 --> 00:12:49,760 before you start to suffer from calcium 243 00:12:58,780 --> 00:12:56,240 depletion let's hear a question I really 244 00:13:01,360 --> 00:12:58,790 don't know the exact answer on that I 245 00:13:03,730 --> 00:13:01,370 know we did a shuttle mission which was 246 00:13:05,710 --> 00:13:03,740 a did two of those are both for about 247 00:13:07,660 --> 00:13:05,720 two weeks long and I don't think I 248 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:07,670 suffered much calcium depletion at that 249 00:13:11,230 --> 00:13:09,290 time so I have to guess it was longer 250 00:13:13,660 --> 00:13:11,240 than that however up why we're up here 251 00:13:16,509 --> 00:13:13,670 when I say we work out and that really 252 00:13:19,540 --> 00:13:16,519 helps our bones from losing calcium or 253 00:13:21,490 --> 00:13:19,550 any kind of structure or mass up here 254 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:21,500 and so I'm hoping that we don't really 255 00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:24,410 have much of that going on but I really 256 00:13:33,699 --> 00:13:25,760 don't know the exact detail when that 257 00:13:49,509 --> 00:13:33,709 would occur if we weren't working out hi 258 00:13:52,569 --> 00:13:49,519 my name is so basically our space food I 259 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:52,579 have a little here with me in the end 260 00:13:57,460 --> 00:13:55,130 the end product is it's a lot like what 261 00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:57,470 you eat on earth but when it starts it's 262 00:14:01,300 --> 00:13:59,199 not at all so I have in my hand 263 00:14:04,449 --> 00:14:01,310 dehydrated green beans with mushrooms 264 00:14:07,210 --> 00:14:04,459 I'll pass those on to Steve this is a 265 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:07,220 shell stabilized bag of minestrone soup 266 00:14:12,819 --> 00:14:10,010 which feels very squishy but in the end 267 00:14:14,250 --> 00:14:12,829 is actually quite delicious and then one 268 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:14,260 of the crew favorites here i have a 269 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:18,170 canned omelette with chicken and so this 270 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:19,730 is breakfast and dinner right here in 271 00:14:24,910 --> 00:14:21,890 this can and this is made in Russia but 272 00:14:26,620 --> 00:14:24,920 it's very delicious so our food is a lot 273 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:26,630 like which eat on the ground the 274 00:14:30,130 --> 00:14:28,490 difference is we have to keep it for a 275 00:14:32,019 --> 00:14:30,140 long time this this soup was probably 276 00:14:33,970 --> 00:14:32,029 made four or five years ago i'm guessing 277 00:14:36,009 --> 00:14:33,980 but it's still absolutely fresh once we 278 00:14:42,939 --> 00:14:36,019 open that package so pretty pretty good 279 00:14:45,309 --> 00:14:42,949 technology for us up here hi my name is 280 00:14:48,509 --> 00:14:45,319 Damon Johnson from Mickelson elementary 281 00:14:51,819 --> 00:14:48,519 school with questions for speed 282 00:14:53,859 --> 00:14:51,829 experiments cone ISS which being filled 283 00:15:00,689 --> 00:14:53,869 will have the most impact to life on 284 00:15:02,769 --> 00:15:00,699 earth that is a difficult question wow 285 00:15:04,869 --> 00:15:02,779 I'm there are many good scientific 286 00:15:07,090 --> 00:15:04,879 experiments up here but I guess for me i 287 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:07,100 think the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer 288 00:15:12,009 --> 00:15:09,410 could have the most impact on life on 289 00:15:13,989 --> 00:15:12,019 Earth and I just think that because it's 290 00:15:15,939 --> 00:15:13,999 trying to understand the basic concepts 291 00:15:17,769 --> 00:15:15,949 of what the universe is and I think we 292 00:15:19,569 --> 00:15:17,779 don't know that really yet and so if we 293 00:15:21,309 --> 00:15:19,579 can use that to help us understand that 294 00:15:23,650 --> 00:15:21,319 and then it will actually progress down 295 00:15:25,569 --> 00:15:23,660 into all the things we do as physics 296 00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:25,579 always does and so for me that is 297 00:15:28,389 --> 00:15:26,929 probably the most important thing we 298 00:15:40,569 --> 00:15:28,399 could actually get out of this whole 299 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:40,579 thing this question for red how do you 300 00:15:54,059 --> 00:15:43,610 measure my writing space and health and 301 00:16:00,819 --> 00:15:59,259 so basically to measure our weight since 302 00:16:02,379 --> 00:16:00,829 we're since we're floating around up 303 00:16:04,329 --> 00:16:02,389 here we can't just step on a scale so we 304 00:16:05,919 --> 00:16:04,339 have to measure our mass and there's 305 00:16:08,979 --> 00:16:05,929 really two systems that we have up here 306 00:16:11,469 --> 00:16:08,989 that do that and one is just a simple 307 00:16:13,179 --> 00:16:11,479 spring and you get on this spring with a 308 00:16:15,099 --> 00:16:13,189 seat on it and it actually just bounces 309 00:16:17,469 --> 00:16:15,109 you up and down and then a computer 310 00:16:19,209 --> 00:16:17,479 measures your mass from that and it's 311 00:16:21,099 --> 00:16:19,219 pretty accurate so I've been amazed 312 00:16:23,199 --> 00:16:21,109 every time I go on there my my mass is 313 00:16:25,629 --> 00:16:23,209 almost identical and then we also have a 314 00:16:27,699 --> 00:16:25,639 slightly newer system which just uses a 315 00:16:29,229 --> 00:16:27,709 known force to pull your body in and the 316 00:16:32,349 --> 00:16:29,239 resistance that it gets off of that is 317 00:16:35,289 --> 00:16:32,359 is in turn your mass using acceleration 318 00:16:37,929 --> 00:16:35,299 so those are the two systems and they're 319 00:16:39,669 --> 00:16:37,939 actually both very fun to ride and we do 320 00:16:42,309 --> 00:16:39,679 it about once a month on each system so 321 00:16:45,419 --> 00:16:42,319 twice a month in total and how important 322 00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:45,429 is all of our health for being up here 323 00:16:49,689 --> 00:16:47,929 extremely important especially for bone 324 00:16:51,309 --> 00:16:49,699 loss we got to work out all the time we 325 00:16:52,869 --> 00:16:51,319 got to maintain our weight if the 326 00:16:54,699 --> 00:16:52,879 doctors look at our weight all the time 327 00:16:56,049 --> 00:16:54,709 and if it starts to go down there 328 00:16:58,269 --> 00:16:56,059 yelling at you real quick to eat more 329 00:17:00,009 --> 00:16:58,279 make sure you're not losing muscle not 330 00:17:01,749 --> 00:17:00,019 losing bone density so absolutely 331 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:01,759 critical for us to know our mass and to 332 00:17:30,540 --> 00:17:15,280 keep our health and check up here kids 333 00:17:38,050 --> 00:17:34,180 station this is Houston ACR thank you 334 00:17:40,090 --> 00:17:38,060 that concludes the event thank u 335 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:40,100 infinity science center station we are
