1 00:00:15,509 --> 00:00:12,480 okay so let's get started with this hey 2 00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:15,519 Nemo friends we're here down in Key 3 00:00:21,150 --> 00:00:19,510 Largo Florida doing the Nemo 19 mission 4 00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:21,160 and we're really thankful that for you 5 00:00:26,189 --> 00:00:22,720 guys to join us for our first ever 6 00:00:27,810 --> 00:00:26,199 Google hangout I'm Wendy Watkins and I'm 7 00:00:31,019 --> 00:00:27,820 from Johnson Space Center in Houston 8 00:00:33,150 --> 00:00:31,029 I'm the Nemo outreach person the person 9 00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:33,160 that hopefully you guys informed on 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:36,550 social media since you're here we know 11 00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:38,770 you must follow along on our social 12 00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:40,719 media accounts but just in case you 13 00:00:45,869 --> 00:00:43,390 don't know NASA is the NASA extreme 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:45,879 environment Mission Operations um and 15 00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:48,610 like I said it's our 19th mission before 16 00:00:53,490 --> 00:00:50,800 we get started I want to remind you to 17 00:00:59,279 --> 00:00:53,500 send your questions now to the hashtag 18 00:01:01,189 --> 00:00:59,289 Nemo 19 that's in EE mo 19 1 9 um that's 19 00:01:04,499 --> 00:01:01,199 the number one night 20 00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:04,509 so I'm topside at Mission Control where 21 00:01:10,980 --> 00:01:07,889 the watch desk is and the crew is about 22 00:01:12,929 --> 00:01:10,990 5.4 nautical miles off the coast in 23 00:01:14,690 --> 00:01:12,939 about sixty two feet below the surface 24 00:01:16,830 --> 00:01:14,700 in the Florida International 25 00:01:19,469 --> 00:01:16,840 University's undersea habitat 26 00:01:22,109 --> 00:01:19,479 it's called Aquarius reef face it's 27 00:01:24,269 --> 00:01:22,119 about the size of a school bus so we 28 00:01:25,529 --> 00:01:24,279 have six crew members down there living 29 00:01:29,609 --> 00:01:25,539 and working together for about seven 30 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:29,619 days and um they are getting to know 31 00:01:34,279 --> 00:01:31,329 each other pretty well for one but 32 00:01:37,409 --> 00:01:34,289 they're doing a whole bunch of tests and 33 00:01:40,949 --> 00:01:37,419 engineering evaluations for us right now 34 00:01:44,309 --> 00:01:40,959 uh NASA the European Space Agency in the 35 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:44,319 Canadian Space Agency and FIU have 36 00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:46,090 joined together for this mission to send 37 00:01:50,219 --> 00:01:48,249 our crew down to live and work in 38 00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:50,229 Aquarius and they're doing what's called 39 00:01:57,719 --> 00:01:54,729 a saturation mission and um we thin them 40 00:02:00,019 --> 00:01:57,729 down to the Aquarius and other extreme 41 00:02:02,549 --> 00:02:00,029 places to test and harsh space like 42 00:02:05,609 --> 00:02:02,559 analogous environments to increase the 43 00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:05,619 reality of the high fidelity tests the 44 00:02:10,619 --> 00:02:07,809 tests that we do are specifically 45 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:10,629 designed to inform future International 46 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:13,330 Space Station and exploration activities 47 00:02:17,610 --> 00:02:15,490 and many of the studies correlate 48 00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:17,620 directly to life aboard the space 49 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:19,750 station where the crews do perform 50 00:02:24,270 --> 00:02:22,330 critical tasks that have factors similar 51 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:24,280 to those that are experienced in the 52 00:02:30,180 --> 00:02:27,010 undersea environment so um 53 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:30,190 Nemo 19 has some really great tests and 54 00:02:35,070 --> 00:02:31,810 evaluations that I hope you'll learn 55 00:02:37,590 --> 00:02:35,080 about during this hangout um right now 56 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:37,600 I'd really like to get to the really 57 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:40,330 important part the crew you see on the 58 00:02:42,540 --> 00:02:41,170 screen 59 00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:42,550 they'll be answering your questions 60 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:44,080 today and I'm going to go straight down 61 00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:47,290 to our commander NASA astronaut and now 62 00:02:51,660 --> 00:02:50,110 Aquanaut Randy Bresnik and I'm going to 63 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:51,670 ask him to get started with letting 64 00:02:54,930 --> 00:02:53,290 everyone give a brief introduction of 65 00:02:57,930 --> 00:02:54,940 who they are and what they are doing 66 00:03:00,300 --> 00:02:57,940 down there so I can stop talking then we 67 00:03:02,460 --> 00:03:00,310 can get to your questions so to you 68 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:02,470 Randy all right thanks baby 69 00:03:08,540 --> 00:03:05,290 welcome everybody to Aquarius 62 feet 70 00:03:11,790 --> 00:03:08,550 under the seat mission day three Brooke 71 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:11,800 we've conducted already our fifth 72 00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:14,890 spacewalk out of nine there's our first 73 00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:17,110 big exploration spacewalk and we talk 74 00:03:21,180 --> 00:03:19,510 more about that later on but whirring 75 00:03:22,830 --> 00:03:21,190 well adjusted going on the mouth of you 76 00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:22,840 know just over the 48-hour mark down 77 00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:25,510 here and it's pretty amazing even on the 78 00:03:33,210 --> 00:03:28,630 sea floor 62 feet under the ocean you 79 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:33,220 can still feel an 880 time facility that 80 00:03:37,860 --> 00:03:35,050 Aquarius is this anchor down to the sea 81 00:03:39,390 --> 00:03:37,870 or you can still feel the waves move us 82 00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:39,400 back and forth rockets in the West 83 00:03:43,470 --> 00:03:41,470 that's something I think surprised all 84 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:43,480 of us there's how much power there is 85 00:03:47,970 --> 00:03:45,970 that will uh go ahead and they reduce 86 00:03:49,979 --> 00:03:47,980 themselves like Jeremy and the Canadian 87 00:03:52,890 --> 00:03:49,989 Space Agency every step in it from 88 00:03:55,229 --> 00:03:52,900 Medusa and any mochas in for me so as 89 00:03:57,660 --> 00:03:55,239 well and also the first patient 90 00:04:00,620 --> 00:03:57,670 astronaut so here we build about 91 00:04:04,140 --> 00:04:00,630 yourself sure Randy said I'm from Canada 92 00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:04,150 my background is in Air Force who f-18s 93 00:04:08,940 --> 00:04:06,640 I've been working for the Canadian Space 94 00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:08,950 Agency now for five years training that 95 00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:10,510 flying space still waiting for my first 96 00:04:14,070 --> 00:04:12,310 mission which will come up in southern 97 00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:14,080 climate and in here not so distant 98 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:17,350 future and I guess the first thing I 99 00:04:21,719 --> 00:04:19,090 pass on to you from my experience down 100 00:04:23,340 --> 00:04:21,729 here is just how amazing it is when you 101 00:04:24,779 --> 00:04:23,350 when you live someplace for a little 102 00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:24,789 while I mean I've only been here two 103 00:04:28,590 --> 00:04:26,290 days but already when I go 104 00:04:30,630 --> 00:04:28,600 now it's at and I'm on the ocean floor I 105 00:04:33,690 --> 00:04:30,640 just it feels completely different than 106 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:33,700 any time I visited the ocean on scuba 107 00:04:37,260 --> 00:04:35,410 tanks like I feel a little bit more like 108 00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:37,270 I belong here have a little bit more 109 00:04:43,380 --> 00:04:40,990 time to watch the ocean life and it's 110 00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:43,390 just an incredible experience we over to 111 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:46,720 you urban MLB Cigna I'm French I work 112 00:04:52,050 --> 00:04:48,250 for European Space Agency at the 113 00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:52,060 European assault center my function is 114 00:04:57,570 --> 00:04:54,910 I'm the head of the geo and gave 115 00:05:03,600 --> 00:04:57,580 operation that he continued it over 116 00:05:06,470 --> 00:05:03,610 there and I'm also a Euro continent I'm 117 00:05:11,850 --> 00:05:06,480 really amazed to be here part of such a 118 00:05:15,630 --> 00:05:11,860 talented pool and as Jeremy said we feel 119 00:05:21,620 --> 00:05:15,640 like we belong cooperates and the Conrad 120 00:05:38,610 --> 00:05:35,370 pressure you see like regular and I was 121 00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:38,620 sitting like right big lights I'll be 122 00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:42,910 the hub areas that we feel from directly 123 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:54,900 excuse me my name is a nd mo Vincent I'm 124 00:05:59,970 --> 00:05:56,730 from Denmark I'm an astronaut with the 125 00:06:02,250 --> 00:05:59,980 Europeans originally I'm an aerospace 126 00:06:05,460 --> 00:06:02,260 engineer I came an astronaut five years 127 00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:05,470 ago in training since then I was open 128 00:06:10,980 --> 00:06:07,510 enough to participate in the NEEMO 129 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:10,990 mission last year second time it's great 130 00:06:15,420 --> 00:06:13,810 to be back unfortunately I can pretty 131 00:06:17,850 --> 00:06:15,430 much guarantee I won't be here next year 132 00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:17,860 because I'll be space at this time on my 133 00:06:26,010 --> 00:06:19,630 first mission to the International Space 134 00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:29,200 we're Nico's that fit that's perfect 135 00:06:33,610 --> 00:06:32,000 um so I guess we could go ahead and get 136 00:06:38,260 --> 00:06:33,620 to some of the questions that we've 137 00:06:40,090 --> 00:06:38,270 gathered from Twitter and Google+ and we 138 00:06:41,590 --> 00:06:40,100 have to see any come in from Facebook so 139 00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:41,600 if you guys are out there and you're on 140 00:06:47,410 --> 00:06:43,790 Facebook remember to use the same 141 00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:47,420 hashtag it's Nemo 19 and we've got 142 00:06:52,990 --> 00:06:49,280 people in the room here helping me 143 00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:53,000 gather them so our first question comes 144 00:06:57,970 --> 00:06:55,520 from Alberta science teacher 145 00:07:00,280 --> 00:06:57,980 Amanda thank Jeremy might have been in 146 00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:00,290 contact with her before she says one of 147 00:07:05,710 --> 00:07:02,510 my students wanted to know what is the 148 00:07:11,410 --> 00:07:05,720 biggest danger you face and/or what will 149 00:07:14,650 --> 00:07:11,420 you do if you spring a leak yeah it the 150 00:07:17,890 --> 00:07:14,660 biggest danger we face is actually not 151 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:17,900 the fish but having to go to the surface 152 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:20,450 because we're saturated down here with 153 00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:22,730 nitrogen our bodies have been absorbing 154 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:24,710 more nitrogen into our blood in our 155 00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:27,410 tissue than we normally have at the 156 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:28,910 surface and if we try to go to the 157 00:07:35,710 --> 00:07:30,970 surface 158 00:07:40,510 --> 00:07:35,720 those pump balloon expands and you can 159 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:40,520 cause us either to me or me or or more 160 00:07:44,950 --> 00:07:42,650 acutely death and actually kill you 161 00:07:47,530 --> 00:07:44,960 so if we do have an emergency here in 162 00:07:49,390 --> 00:07:47,540 Aquarius we have a fire we have some 163 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:49,400 sort of leak major leak and we have to 164 00:07:52,810 --> 00:07:50,930 evacuate it's going to get pretty 165 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:52,820 serious for all of us together we're 166 00:07:56,590 --> 00:07:54,290 going to be working real close as a team 167 00:07:58,450 --> 00:07:56,600 to try and get everyone outside the 168 00:08:00,130 --> 00:07:58,460 habitat we have we have a whole bunch of 169 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:00,140 different emergency plans but one of 170 00:08:04,750 --> 00:08:02,170 them involves going outside and 171 00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:04,760 pre-breathing some different gas in a 172 00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:07,520 little air bubble we have just beside 173 00:08:12,370 --> 00:08:09,230 the habitat let's say there was a fire 174 00:08:14,620 --> 00:08:12,380 and Airness full of smoke we go there we 175 00:08:16,690 --> 00:08:14,630 free breathe some gas well a boat a 176 00:08:19,510 --> 00:08:16,700 rescue boat comes out and when it gets 177 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:19,520 here we all go to the surface we get in 178 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:21,650 a small chamber on the boat really small 179 00:08:26,650 --> 00:08:23,930 and like we'll be like this in their 180 00:08:28,420 --> 00:08:26,660 boat on to each other and then we get 181 00:08:31,390 --> 00:08:28,430 dragged in to shore and then we spend 182 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:31,400 about another 16 hours in a chamber on 183 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:34,250 shore getting back to surface pressure 184 00:08:37,660 --> 00:08:36,170 so that we could walk outside again and 185 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:37,670 still be alive so very 186 00:08:46,030 --> 00:08:40,250 complex procedure to handle very 187 00:08:48,250 --> 00:08:46,040 dangerous environment thanks Jeremy okay 188 00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:48,260 so our next question is also from 189 00:08:54,430 --> 00:08:50,720 Twitter and it just came in in it's Ali 190 00:08:56,740 --> 00:08:54,440 wheeler and she says hi are the 191 00:08:59,470 --> 00:08:56,750 aquanauts eating the same diet as you 192 00:09:02,740 --> 00:08:59,480 will in space and what other simulations 193 00:09:04,690 --> 00:09:02,750 do you have on Nemo 19 The Glitch Creek 194 00:09:06,370 --> 00:09:04,700 from Twitter also asked what you guys 195 00:09:14,740 --> 00:09:06,380 were eating and she wanted to know if it 196 00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:14,750 was seafood we have all kinds of food 197 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:17,510 down here you know but one thing that 198 00:09:21,130 --> 00:09:19,610 really helps is we actually have a lot 199 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:21,140 of freeze-dried stuff here's an example 200 00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:23,090 of the particular time ago beef 201 00:09:28,420 --> 00:09:25,760 stroganoff a good old apple crisp for 202 00:09:29,860 --> 00:09:28,430 dessert which is actually very similar 203 00:09:32,050 --> 00:09:29,870 to a lot of food we have on Space 204 00:09:33,970 --> 00:09:32,060 Station which is freeze-dried where you 205 00:09:35,410 --> 00:09:33,980 know this weighs nothing you know here 206 00:09:37,150 --> 00:09:35,420 on earth and so therefore doesn't take 207 00:09:40,030 --> 00:09:37,160 much rocket fuel to get it up to orbit 208 00:09:41,980 --> 00:09:40,040 and going 16 you know 17,500 miles an 209 00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:41,990 hour so it's a lot easier to take this 210 00:09:46,020 --> 00:09:44,360 up and then put water into it once we 211 00:09:49,870 --> 00:09:46,030 get it straight 212 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:49,880 got water heater down here we put into 213 00:09:52,780 --> 00:09:51,410 our food and they get up fresh but we 214 00:09:55,060 --> 00:09:52,790 also have ringing off the shelf stuff 215 00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:55,070 which is similar to a face where you can 216 00:10:00,280 --> 00:09:57,440 ask Joe comfort food things you like and 217 00:10:03,070 --> 00:10:00,290 all like that there's going to jump 218 00:10:07,420 --> 00:10:03,080 marker and I think so in the get so far 219 00:10:10,180 --> 00:10:07,430 stack but it is a very similar down here 220 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:10,190 in that you can't just go to the oven 221 00:10:14,950 --> 00:10:12,170 and you'll eat something up or ghost 222 00:10:17,530 --> 00:10:14,960 overcast gas grill and they make food of 223 00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:17,540 it have to be packaged that's easily 224 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:20,230 transportable Dennis Lee asked me easily 225 00:10:28,990 --> 00:10:26,450 Google offer the crew the cookies only 226 00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:29,000 these and was there is a surprise for 227 00:10:32,590 --> 00:10:30,710 the tune up tonight you're supposed to 228 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:32,600 be a surprise but we're not ruined now 229 00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:41,160 cool night Olivia space food from the 230 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:44,800 space station that is you implemented 231 00:10:51,630 --> 00:10:46,930 expectation in this food is provided by 232 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:51,640 Asia and developed by France by French 233 00:11:00,110 --> 00:10:54,970 cook led to all so uh we have a special 234 00:11:04,050 --> 00:11:00,120 dinner a French kiddo Isis like cattle 235 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:04,060 between us Lego exactly 236 00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:05,650 that doesn't have to do with the 237 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:17,520 anyone's birthday coming up perhaps um 238 00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:20,890 so the other part of that question was 239 00:11:26,250 --> 00:11:23,950 she wanted to know what other 240 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:26,260 simulations that you're doing during 241 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:29,770 Nemo 19 so maybe some of the tests that 242 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:33,490 you guys are doing well from a European 243 00:11:38,430 --> 00:11:36,730 perspective that Nemo 19 is a really 244 00:11:41,010 --> 00:11:38,440 exciting mission because we're testing 245 00:11:43,019 --> 00:11:41,020 some of the technology that we've been 246 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:43,029 developing and that I'll actually be 247 00:11:48,090 --> 00:11:45,250 using on the space station next year and 248 00:11:50,910 --> 00:11:48,100 this is some mobile technology that 249 00:11:56,340 --> 00:11:50,920 involves smart phones smart tablets 250 00:11:58,380 --> 00:11:56,350 integrated with a heads up make the way 251 00:12:00,840 --> 00:11:58,390 we work on board space nation more 252 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:00,850 effective and more efficient because as 253 00:12:04,829 --> 00:12:03,010 it is now they're all everything we do 254 00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:04,839 is procedure based right now it's on 255 00:12:10,019 --> 00:12:07,570 laptop but if we can integrate that with 256 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:10,029 wearable technologies and we can work in 257 00:12:14,180 --> 00:12:11,650 a heads up hands-free type of 258 00:12:16,610 --> 00:12:14,190 environment on top of that we try to 259 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:16,620 integrate cameras and real-time 260 00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:19,410 communications so that we can be in 261 00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:22,089 contact with experts on the ground of 262 00:12:26,970 --> 00:12:25,120 scientists on the ground in real-time so 263 00:12:29,220 --> 00:12:26,980 that they can follow along and they can 264 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:29,230 come with suggestions and help as we're 265 00:12:32,910 --> 00:12:31,330 working because a lot of people know 266 00:12:35,190 --> 00:12:32,920 they they think of astronauts and 267 00:12:37,769 --> 00:12:35,200 scientists but in reality what we are is 268 00:12:39,810 --> 00:12:37,779 a glorified laboratory technician we are 269 00:12:41,970 --> 00:12:39,820 really that extended hands of the 270 00:12:44,130 --> 00:12:41,980 scientists on earth who propose the 271 00:12:46,860 --> 00:12:44,140 experiments and who are the real experts 272 00:12:49,429 --> 00:12:46,870 and we're just we're doing their work in 273 00:12:51,139 --> 00:12:49,439 space so if we have contact to them 274 00:12:54,199 --> 00:12:51,149 on the ground while we're doing it we 275 00:13:00,049 --> 00:12:54,209 can really be a crew to work that we do 276 00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:00,059 in space great okay um so along those 277 00:13:04,849 --> 00:13:01,889 same lines I'm going to go ahead and 278 00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:04,859 throw it to Herve and ask him a little 279 00:13:08,929 --> 00:13:07,049 bit about the heads up tests that you 280 00:13:10,699 --> 00:13:08,939 guys are doing since you have a big part 281 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:10,709 in that and I know people are kind of 282 00:13:18,619 --> 00:13:11,970 curious when they see wearing those 283 00:13:21,019 --> 00:13:18,629 glasses so sick if you went to only a 284 00:13:23,389 --> 00:13:21,029 function so this ends up experiment yogi 285 00:13:27,499 --> 00:13:23,399 is the Facebook prototyping of this 286 00:13:30,409 --> 00:13:27,509 mobile device Android software that can 287 00:13:32,629 --> 00:13:30,419 be used by an astronaut when it's and 288 00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:32,639 busy performing an activity and 289 00:13:40,039 --> 00:13:37,289 motivated so the each of the crew member 290 00:13:43,539 --> 00:13:40,049 with the state and the configuration is 291 00:13:46,809 --> 00:13:43,549 we have a kind of pencil displayed 292 00:13:50,509 --> 00:13:46,819 displaying the procedure where we can 293 00:13:53,449 --> 00:13:50,519 buy a bar with voice command go through 294 00:13:55,789 --> 00:13:53,459 different steps of the procedure which 295 00:13:57,829 --> 00:13:55,799 prevent our overall that we have to go 296 00:14:00,319 --> 00:13:57,839 buy the laptop where the processor is 297 00:14:03,259 --> 00:14:00,329 displayed and routes up and across time 298 00:14:06,199 --> 00:14:03,269 translation displays and we can stay at 299 00:14:08,509 --> 00:14:06,209 the same location in addition we have 300 00:14:10,549 --> 00:14:08,519 this video conferencing capability 301 00:14:14,419 --> 00:14:10,559 whether you give any drop or anything 302 00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:14,429 going not really okay we can ask the 303 00:14:18,590 --> 00:14:16,649 specialist on the ground and they can 304 00:14:22,669 --> 00:14:18,600 also purchase 305 00:14:25,969 --> 00:14:22,679 also dot and follow what we are doing so 306 00:14:32,649 --> 00:14:25,979 it's a new technology configuration what 307 00:14:37,340 --> 00:14:32,659 this is aiming for only proof is find 308 00:14:39,319 --> 00:14:37,350 solutions to improve the even more the 309 00:14:40,369 --> 00:14:39,329 operation that we can hold on the space 310 00:14:43,969 --> 00:14:40,379 station 311 00:14:46,309 --> 00:14:43,979 contribute to that applause and why we 312 00:14:50,149 --> 00:14:46,319 tested here then this prototyping and 313 00:14:52,789 --> 00:14:50,159 our combination we have followed around 314 00:14:56,569 --> 00:14:52,799 the final version that the free tasting 315 00:14:59,449 --> 00:14:56,579 space has deep in space by areas so what 316 00:15:00,679 --> 00:14:59,459 we are doing now is really for the 317 00:15:02,790 --> 00:15:00,689 improvement of the space station 318 00:15:06,610 --> 00:15:02,800 operation 319 00:15:09,850 --> 00:15:06,620 great thanks uh so I got a good one here 320 00:15:16,329 --> 00:15:09,860 from Carmen Austin who writes us through 321 00:15:19,749 --> 00:15:16,339 Google+ and through Twitter um and her 322 00:15:22,509 --> 00:15:19,759 question is what other space analog 323 00:15:26,019 --> 00:15:22,519 missions have you guys participated in 324 00:15:27,610 --> 00:15:26,029 either together or individually and how 325 00:15:31,059 --> 00:15:27,620 do they compare to Nemo and that one's 326 00:15:32,829 --> 00:15:31,069 really experience of exciting because we 327 00:15:34,930 --> 00:15:32,839 know there's another analog going on 328 00:15:38,530 --> 00:15:34,940 right now that some of you guys have 329 00:15:41,199 --> 00:15:38,540 taken part in but more importantly she 330 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:41,209 really wants to know which button down 331 00:15:48,249 --> 00:15:46,490 there summons Godzilla we haven't seen 332 00:15:51,430 --> 00:15:48,259 the Godzilla bunny and either that or 333 00:15:53,170 --> 00:15:51,440 our mark are or have to hear if I've 334 00:15:56,499 --> 00:15:53,180 shown it to us I'm not sure if you trust 335 00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:56,509 us with America we want to start pushing 336 00:16:01,360 --> 00:15:58,370 by the delivery I'll get you oh we start 337 00:16:03,340 --> 00:16:01,370 touching their equipment other analogs 338 00:16:05,559 --> 00:16:03,350 great question because we're always 339 00:16:08,129 --> 00:16:05,569 trying to find ways to get people 340 00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:08,139 comfortable or exposed to the same 341 00:16:14,079 --> 00:16:12,769 physical you know types of challenges 342 00:16:15,999 --> 00:16:14,089 they'll be facing when they go to space 343 00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:16,009 I mean the number one thing in fact it 344 00:16:20,319 --> 00:16:17,600 is completely different than anything 345 00:16:21,999 --> 00:16:20,329 you've ever experienced and so you can 346 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:22,009 do something here on earth completely 347 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:23,930 different that's something they you know 348 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:25,730 teach you a little more insight a little 349 00:16:29,610 --> 00:16:28,130 more stress and you're able to see how 350 00:16:31,660 --> 00:16:29,620 you will perform in that environment 351 00:16:32,889 --> 00:16:31,670 sort of the over the years we've used 352 00:16:36,189 --> 00:16:32,899 the National Outdoor Leadership School 353 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:36,199 with the majors replacing Canyonlands in 354 00:16:43,269 --> 00:16:39,850 the Wind River Range of Wyoming 355 00:16:44,110 --> 00:16:43,279 kayaking and looking sea kayaking and 356 00:16:47,199 --> 00:16:44,120 things like that 357 00:16:50,350 --> 00:16:47,209 we've also an evil going out for 14 358 00:16:52,059 --> 00:16:50,360 years and the difference between your 359 00:16:53,379 --> 00:16:52,069 Noel's are out in the field and your 360 00:16:55,569 --> 00:16:53,389 camping and you carry everything with 361 00:16:57,670 --> 00:16:55,579 you that's a really great stretch my 362 00:16:59,290 --> 00:16:57,680 heart imploded physical challenge but 363 00:17:00,129 --> 00:16:59,300 you know if something goes wrong you 364 00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:00,139 just stay put 365 00:17:03,340 --> 00:17:01,430 be on the satphone you call somebody 366 00:17:04,870 --> 00:17:03,350 come picked out the most different 367 00:17:06,669 --> 00:17:04,880 because we're down stick your feet over 368 00:17:09,730 --> 00:17:06,679 the ocean and you can just go to the 369 00:17:13,140 --> 00:17:09,740 surface I mean the question earlier you 370 00:17:15,579 --> 00:17:13,150 know you we have to do a desaturation 371 00:17:17,919 --> 00:17:15,589 decompression for seven 372 00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:17,929 or can go to the surface so that's not 373 00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:19,240 often so you're definitely in a 374 00:17:24,220 --> 00:17:21,049 life-threatening situation if there's 375 00:17:26,529 --> 00:17:24,230 any issues that but also another analog 376 00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:26,539 adhesive started three years ago was the 377 00:17:34,630 --> 00:17:31,120 caves analog very actually during the 378 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:34,640 caves of the Sardinia of the island off 379 00:17:39,250 --> 00:17:37,850 of Ely and you'll get range that you do 380 00:17:42,190 --> 00:17:39,260 get emo for the person and then you 381 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:42,200 actually spend before week in the Sun 382 00:17:46,570 --> 00:17:44,690 Greuther kata complex where you start 383 00:17:49,659 --> 00:17:46,580 out for the base camp two mile and a 384 00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:49,669 half from the surface and then you 385 00:17:55,450 --> 00:17:52,370 explore out actually the areas of the 386 00:17:57,010 --> 00:17:55,460 cave have not been mapped before so even 387 00:17:59,560 --> 00:17:57,020 on top of the brand new experience 388 00:18:01,330 --> 00:17:59,570 you're actually going places and doing 389 00:18:02,860 --> 00:18:01,340 exploration tasks so you have any 390 00:18:05,289 --> 00:18:02,870 element of excitement as well as the 391 00:18:06,580 --> 00:18:05,299 element of a that's a big dark hole down 392 00:18:08,139 --> 00:18:06,590 there and I need to make sure that I'm 393 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:08,149 tethered on with my equipment and my 394 00:18:13,180 --> 00:18:10,490 climbing gear is adjusted properly so I 395 00:18:15,850 --> 00:18:13,190 don't have a great type of accent so 396 00:18:20,019 --> 00:18:15,860 both Creek caves and emo have phenomenal 397 00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:20,029 analogs with the fear of death is every 398 00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:21,289 part of your day you're not taking care 399 00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:22,880 of your equipment your life depends on 400 00:18:25,810 --> 00:18:24,710 it you got to bring your food in bring 401 00:18:27,250 --> 00:18:25,820 your food out you got to worry about 402 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:27,260 working together in a closed environment 403 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:29,330 with your crew members and I wouldn't be 404 00:18:32,710 --> 00:18:30,890 other people get stressed this new 405 00:18:34,779 --> 00:18:32,720 environment for them how do we get along 406 00:18:37,870 --> 00:18:34,789 I respond how do you want to problems 407 00:18:39,909 --> 00:18:37,880 how do you make make the city and the 408 00:18:41,470 --> 00:18:39,919 thing that emo has the cage doesn't is 409 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:41,480 we have a mission controllers going here 410 00:18:45,789 --> 00:18:44,090 24/7 it operates just like what on the 411 00:18:48,070 --> 00:18:45,799 space station they're sending us stuff 412 00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:48,080 we're working on computer we're going 413 00:18:51,340 --> 00:18:49,370 and doing these experiments and heads 414 00:18:54,279 --> 00:18:51,350 off and just-in-time training it allows 415 00:18:56,529 --> 00:18:54,289 us to really have a more ISS like like 416 00:18:58,899 --> 00:18:56,539 environment here down on the ocean so 417 00:19:03,460 --> 00:18:58,909 all great analogs and so hopefully 418 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:03,470 you're Andy's DeVivo hand cave we and 419 00:19:08,289 --> 00:19:06,770 myself both been caves and ego and from 420 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:08,299 having had the opportunity to fly in 421 00:19:11,470 --> 00:19:10,250 space once on a shuttle mission I can 422 00:19:13,659 --> 00:19:11,480 tell you both these analog for 423 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:13,669 phenomenal preparation for developing 424 00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:16,850 the space so it seems less foreign and 425 00:19:19,539 --> 00:19:18,529 less strange when you get there and so 426 00:19:24,159 --> 00:19:19,549 will hopefully give you a lot more 427 00:19:25,420 --> 00:19:24,169 effective is you get up there thanks 428 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:25,430 Randy 429 00:19:32,110 --> 00:19:28,490 okay so we got a question through 430 00:19:36,570 --> 00:19:32,120 Google+ from Sean Squire he's a space 431 00:19:39,370 --> 00:19:36,580 Tweep that we act with a lot on Twitter 432 00:19:42,430 --> 00:19:39,380 he says have you felt any effects from 433 00:19:44,740 --> 00:19:42,440 the saturation is the gas mixture there 434 00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:44,750 different than at the surface to avoid 435 00:19:50,650 --> 00:19:48,230 oxygen toxicity or similar effects so 436 00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:50,660 you might want to explain what about the 437 00:19:58,690 --> 00:19:52,160 saturation diving that you guys are 438 00:20:01,450 --> 00:19:58,700 doing - yeah so I mean my first time 439 00:20:03,670 --> 00:20:01,460 here I haven't noticed any real effects 440 00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:03,680 on my body so for my crewmates and 441 00:20:07,750 --> 00:20:05,360 pointed out the fact that by my voice 442 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:07,760 has changed because the density in the 443 00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:09,650 air here is much more dense for about 444 00:20:15,010 --> 00:20:12,320 three times the pressure that we would 445 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:15,020 be at sea level and so the way the voice 446 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:16,850 moves or the Airways over your vocal 447 00:20:19,930 --> 00:20:18,170 cords is different than it would be at 448 00:20:22,540 --> 00:20:19,940 sea them so they make it fun of me a 449 00:20:24,460 --> 00:20:22,550 little bit for that so that's awesome 450 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:24,470 instead of Barry White he sounds like 451 00:20:32,290 --> 00:20:27,530 outlet yeah and it hasn't changed his 452 00:20:34,690 --> 00:20:32,300 accent yeah I still sound Canadian so 453 00:20:36,310 --> 00:20:34,700 that's all good 454 00:20:38,620 --> 00:20:36,320 it looks like it's still working I 455 00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:38,630 thought it was frozen okay the other the 456 00:20:42,730 --> 00:20:40,880 other thing we talked about down here 457 00:20:44,530 --> 00:20:42,740 while we're working on it today actually 458 00:20:46,750 --> 00:20:44,540 was just maintaining a breathable 459 00:20:49,060 --> 00:20:46,760 atmosphere for us so one of the tasks we 460 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:49,070 have to do regularly is remove the 461 00:20:52,750 --> 00:20:50,930 carbon dioxide from the air we have a 462 00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:52,760 special chemical down here that we do 463 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:55,130 that with and so we we change that 464 00:20:59,020 --> 00:20:57,170 regularly so that we can keep removing 465 00:21:00,550 --> 00:20:59,030 carbon dioxide similar to what we have 466 00:21:02,530 --> 00:21:00,560 to do on Space Station to keep our 467 00:21:04,510 --> 00:21:02,540 atmosphere the same but the composition 468 00:21:08,140 --> 00:21:04,520 down here is the same as it would be up 469 00:21:10,390 --> 00:21:08,150 on top it's still 21% oxygen plus or 470 00:21:16,660 --> 00:21:10,400 minus maybe a little bit less just the 471 00:21:19,270 --> 00:21:16,670 higher pressure okay great I have to 472 00:21:20,710 --> 00:21:19,280 unmute everyone so now because I I you 473 00:21:25,690 --> 00:21:20,720 know don't want you guys hear me make 474 00:21:27,550 --> 00:21:25,700 funny noises so on this question I have 475 00:21:30,180 --> 00:21:27,560 another one from the Alberta science 476 00:21:33,550 --> 00:21:30,190 teacher her students had several and 477 00:21:36,910 --> 00:21:33,560 this one is what is your oxygen source 478 00:21:38,510 --> 00:21:36,920 your freshwater your in your food you 479 00:21:40,610 --> 00:21:38,520 guys already talked about the food 480 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:40,620 I wanted to know if it is similar to the 481 00:21:49,850 --> 00:21:48,690 space station so anyone yeah well so one 482 00:21:51,410 --> 00:21:49,860 way that we're a little bit different 483 00:21:53,300 --> 00:21:51,420 than the space station is that obviously 484 00:21:56,060 --> 00:21:53,310 we're much closer to Earth so we're not 485 00:21:59,510 --> 00:21:56,070 completely cut off who you have a life 486 00:22:02,570 --> 00:21:59,520 support buoy on the surface of the ocean 487 00:22:04,790 --> 00:22:02,580 and we have a available cable speak to 488 00:22:08,540 --> 00:22:04,800 cable going from that buoy down to us 489 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:08,550 that's us with yeah with electrical 490 00:22:16,670 --> 00:22:12,090 power with communications and with the 491 00:22:18,980 --> 00:22:16,680 our atmosphere breathing supply now we 492 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:18,990 are self-sufficient in case that the 493 00:22:25,850 --> 00:22:23,730 cable should get cut I mean it's a an 494 00:22:28,310 --> 00:22:25,860 environment where there are hurricanes 495 00:22:30,530 --> 00:22:28,320 and they're having I think cases in the 496 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:30,540 past where they yeah life support buoy 497 00:22:36,410 --> 00:22:33,930 has been cut off and so we do have a 498 00:22:39,470 --> 00:22:36,420 battery supply backup battery supply and 499 00:22:41,150 --> 00:22:39,480 enough air to keep us alive in case the 500 00:22:42,410 --> 00:22:41,160 life-support we should become 501 00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:42,420 disconnected from it 502 00:22:48,290 --> 00:22:45,710 but for the most part we we get our 503 00:22:50,570 --> 00:22:48,300 supplies from the surface through the 504 00:22:58,370 --> 00:22:50,580 this umbilical cable to the life support 505 00:23:01,520 --> 00:22:58,380 buoy also I think that FIU posted a 506 00:23:03,110 --> 00:23:01,530 photo of a cross-section of the cable 507 00:23:05,450 --> 00:23:03,120 that runs down from the life support 508 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:05,460 buoy if anybody wants to go check that 509 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:10,290 out on Twitter so let's go to since 510 00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:11,970 we're talking about the habitat we have 511 00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:15,600 a question here from Rasmus on Twitter 512 00:23:20,990 --> 00:23:18,240 and he wants to know how does the 513 00:23:25,270 --> 00:23:21,000 kitchen work down there is it like on 514 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:27,970 yeah the kitchen is what we the same 515 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:30,290 desktop slight differences royal form we 516 00:23:35,770 --> 00:23:33,290 have a microwave oven so when we have 517 00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:35,780 support what our distributors will like 518 00:23:44,020 --> 00:23:40,910 the kind that whare at the way where it 519 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:44,030 will just keep might want to flush flush 520 00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:49,250 the thank you think purchasing you can 521 00:23:54,970 --> 00:23:52,240 apply that approach and actually this 522 00:23:57,790 --> 00:23:54,980 by-product into the surface and due to 523 00:24:01,600 --> 00:23:57,800 the difference of pressure the water is 524 00:24:03,460 --> 00:24:01,610 directly set out back surfaces from this 525 00:24:05,380 --> 00:24:03,470 fight so we play on the different of 526 00:24:07,690 --> 00:24:05,390 pressure between the pressure inside 527 00:24:10,030 --> 00:24:07,700 avatar and the pressure other surface 528 00:24:12,580 --> 00:24:10,040 just brush the water on the thing and 529 00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:12,590 that's actually an important point you 530 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:14,510 have to remember to close that valve 531 00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:17,210 indicate if you leave that Val open all 532 00:24:20,770 --> 00:24:19,310 the air here will start going out 533 00:24:23,230 --> 00:24:20,780 through the sink and the water will 534 00:24:25,690 --> 00:24:23,240 start coming up through the wet portions 535 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:25,700 soon the habitat will be submerged so 536 00:24:30,810 --> 00:24:27,410 you got to make sure after you push the 537 00:24:36,850 --> 00:24:34,690 I've also heard that it burps a big 538 00:24:38,170 --> 00:24:36,860 bubble of air every once in a while and 539 00:24:42,370 --> 00:24:38,180 it's kind of interesting to be on the 540 00:24:45,430 --> 00:24:42,380 surface when that big bubble comes up so 541 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:45,440 this question comes from Google+ and 542 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:49,970 Robert Copeland asks um Randy mentioned 543 00:24:54,850 --> 00:24:52,490 earlier in an interview that the mission 544 00:24:57,910 --> 00:24:54,860 would simulate the comms delay between 545 00:24:59,650 --> 00:24:57,920 Mars and Earth how's that going we're 546 00:25:03,160 --> 00:24:59,660 there adjustments and communications 547 00:25:07,990 --> 00:25:03,170 protocol needed to reduce issues cost by 548 00:25:09,730 --> 00:25:08,000 the delay Robert Hale great question it 549 00:25:11,710 --> 00:25:09,740 was our first day with Conville a five 550 00:25:13,270 --> 00:25:11,720 minutes each ways with ten minutes 551 00:25:15,340 --> 00:25:13,280 overall we ask a question Mission 552 00:25:18,580 --> 00:25:15,350 Control we can expect an answer no 553 00:25:21,310 --> 00:25:18,590 earlier than that 10 minutes later and 554 00:25:22,690 --> 00:25:21,320 with it you know lust to area re v8 even 555 00:25:25,330 --> 00:25:22,700 everybody got together ahead of 556 00:25:27,580 --> 00:25:25,340 cognitive how can we do this and the 557 00:25:30,100 --> 00:25:27,590 method which we started practicing today 558 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:30,110 on the EBA was no go to work site do 559 00:25:35,470 --> 00:25:32,690 particular said or go to another work 560 00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:35,480 site and as they look at the details or 561 00:25:39,830 --> 00:25:38,130 the questions for that first work site 562 00:25:41,570 --> 00:25:39,840 we're working second point so the by the 563 00:25:42,980 --> 00:25:41,580 time we finish the second we can go back 564 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:42,990 to the first one and they now they'll be 565 00:25:46,790 --> 00:25:44,850 able to send us answers or instructions 566 00:25:48,950 --> 00:25:46,800 and so what to do that first weren't son 567 00:25:50,570 --> 00:25:48,960 so it worked out pretty well and we look 568 00:25:52,910 --> 00:25:50,580 forward to executed another day of that 569 00:25:55,790 --> 00:25:52,920 tomorrow realizing that the ten-minute 570 00:25:57,830 --> 00:25:55,800 kondal a is really only about a half the 571 00:26:00,230 --> 00:25:57,840 distance between here tomorrow it was a 572 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:00,240 actual marching probably be about twenty 573 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:03,410 minutes of a round-trip transmission and 574 00:26:08,330 --> 00:26:05,730 so we're trying to find out and what 575 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:08,340 level this con delay become really 576 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:09,810 untenable you can't expect to do 577 00:26:13,340 --> 00:26:11,850 real-time operations and you really 578 00:26:15,170 --> 00:26:13,350 would just want to just give the crew 579 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:15,180 their intent and their instructions for 580 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:17,010 the day expect to just be autonomous and 581 00:26:21,770 --> 00:26:19,890 report back at the end of the day or we 582 00:26:23,690 --> 00:26:21,780 find a slot where you know we actually 583 00:26:26,510 --> 00:26:23,700 make this happen just we plan our our 584 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:26,520 work such that we can you know expect 585 00:26:30,050 --> 00:26:28,170 those that delays and intercede crew 586 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:30,060 back so we don't want to do is send a 587 00:26:34,610 --> 00:26:32,730 crew to Mars Phobos moving anywhere else 588 00:26:37,060 --> 00:26:34,620 and I'm just sitting around waiting to 589 00:26:40,820 --> 00:26:37,070 get Joe an answer for Mission Control 590 00:26:43,220 --> 00:26:40,830 hey just in case you were still unsure 591 00:26:44,750 --> 00:26:43,230 about how cool this place was I don't 592 00:26:46,220 --> 00:26:44,760 know if you noticed while Randy was 593 00:26:48,410 --> 00:26:46,230 talking look we had a feeding frenzy 594 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:48,420 right outside the window I don't know if 595 00:27:00,680 --> 00:26:55,130 because you guys are the human aquarium 596 00:27:03,740 --> 00:27:00,690 now right okay um so Laura Austin on 597 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:03,750 Google+ has a question for Jeremy and 598 00:27:08,870 --> 00:27:06,690 she wants to know how does Nemo 19 599 00:27:12,620 --> 00:27:08,880 mission relate to your role as an 600 00:27:14,750 --> 00:27:12,630 astronaut well there's so many different 601 00:27:17,060 --> 00:27:14,760 ways maybe I'll just talk about two 602 00:27:18,530 --> 00:27:17,070 quick ones but one thing that's really 603 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:18,540 important you know I talk to school 604 00:27:22,250 --> 00:27:20,730 groups a lot and I mentioned this one of 605 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:22,260 the most important aspects when you're 606 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:24,690 you're picking astronauts to send it on 607 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:26,490 mission to space a lot of raishin 608 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:29,250 mission is is how they work together as 609 00:27:33,260 --> 00:27:31,050 a team their teamwork skills how they 610 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:33,270 treat other people if you're a lot six 611 00:27:37,580 --> 00:27:35,730 people in a tin can for six months how 612 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:37,590 they relate to one another how honest 613 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:39,930 they are with one another how much they 614 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:42,210 look out for the rest of their teammates 615 00:27:47,210 --> 00:27:45,210 is really really important and so these 616 00:27:48,890 --> 00:27:47,220 experiences are really important for us 617 00:27:51,130 --> 00:27:48,900 to learn a little bit about ourselves so 618 00:27:52,990 --> 00:27:51,140 I'm off every one of the experience 619 00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:53,000 I learned a little bit about myself I'm 620 00:27:56,470 --> 00:27:54,710 not perfect and there's things I do and 621 00:27:58,360 --> 00:27:56,480 I notice uh you know that bothers him 622 00:28:00,580 --> 00:27:58,370 once in a while and I'm like yeah I 623 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:00,590 could do a better job of that and so 624 00:28:03,940 --> 00:28:01,970 these experiences are worth while 625 00:28:06,550 --> 00:28:03,950 there's something else that I noticed on 626 00:28:09,940 --> 00:28:06,560 this mission that that I think is useful 627 00:28:12,310 --> 00:28:09,950 this is a completely new spaceship for 628 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:12,320 us there's a querías habitat never been 629 00:28:15,940 --> 00:28:14,450 in it it's you can only you can't visit 630 00:28:17,980 --> 00:28:15,950 it or train on it before you come here 631 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:17,990 you get here it's the first time you see 632 00:28:22,450 --> 00:28:20,690 it and as I was coming into this habitat 633 00:28:24,490 --> 00:28:22,460 and I was being interviewed and showing 634 00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:24,500 touch this do that don't touch this this 635 00:28:28,180 --> 00:28:26,240 is the emergency this and this divert 636 00:28:29,950 --> 00:28:28,190 and see that I was thinking well this is 637 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:29,960 what it's going to be like for me when I 638 00:28:33,340 --> 00:28:31,970 get to a new spacecraft or I get to the 639 00:28:34,510 --> 00:28:33,350 International Space Station it's all 640 00:28:36,670 --> 00:28:34,520 going to be new it's all going to be 641 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:36,680 weird and this is really cool 642 00:28:41,470 --> 00:28:38,450 experiencing today for example up in 643 00:28:44,230 --> 00:28:41,480 here 48 hours and it's been really wavy 644 00:28:46,810 --> 00:28:44,240 on the ocean up until today and kind of 645 00:28:48,580 --> 00:28:46,820 calmed down and today I noticed that the 646 00:28:50,590 --> 00:28:48,590 air was bubbling under the habitat at a 647 00:28:52,450 --> 00:28:50,600 very constant rate there's a little bit 648 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:52,460 louder a little bit more constant so I 649 00:28:56,740 --> 00:28:55,130 came back inside and I went to mark and 650 00:28:58,330 --> 00:28:56,750 I asked him hey what's going on why is 651 00:28:59,710 --> 00:28:58,340 it like this and it all it sounds 652 00:29:01,210 --> 00:28:59,720 different to me today that I was 653 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:01,220 yesterday and he said well it's 654 00:29:04,690 --> 00:29:02,930 completely normal it's just a different 655 00:29:06,340 --> 00:29:04,700 day it's not waiting and so these are 656 00:29:08,260 --> 00:29:06,350 the tips to think that an operational 657 00:29:12,250 --> 00:29:08,270 environment you're you're getting used 658 00:29:16,090 --> 00:29:12,260 to a new place it's awesome 659 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:16,100 um okay well cut along the same lines as 660 00:29:22,510 --> 00:29:20,050 that rosie johnson from twitter asked a 661 00:29:25,990 --> 00:29:22,520 kind of a general question that a lot of 662 00:29:28,780 --> 00:29:26,000 people would like to know she's actually 663 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:28,790 a planetary science PhD student but she 664 00:29:34,510 --> 00:29:31,610 wants to be an astronaut so she wants to 665 00:29:36,970 --> 00:29:34,520 know what are the steps to becoming an 666 00:29:39,950 --> 00:29:36,980 astronaut 667 00:29:43,820 --> 00:29:39,960 well getting a PhD in planetary science 668 00:29:46,970 --> 00:29:43,830 is certainly a to start there seems to 669 00:29:49,820 --> 00:29:46,980 be four kind of general areas that most 670 00:29:53,450 --> 00:29:49,830 passed on top is ever background either 671 00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:53,460 you're a professional pilot either as a 672 00:30:00,050 --> 00:29:56,760 from the military or civilian world or 673 00:30:03,740 --> 00:30:00,060 you are an engineer or a scientist or a 674 00:30:05,570 --> 00:30:03,750 medical doctor those are the kind of 675 00:30:07,340 --> 00:30:05,580 general areas that you need to have as a 676 00:30:10,700 --> 00:30:07,350 background but a top of that there's a 677 00:30:12,590 --> 00:30:10,710 lot of other things to eat I think for 678 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:12,600 me my opinion one of those important 679 00:30:16,250 --> 00:30:14,130 things needs to have some kind of 680 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:16,260 operational experience and then that's 681 00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:18,210 why you know a lot of do come 682 00:30:22,460 --> 00:30:20,310 from a military background and that's 683 00:30:26,090 --> 00:30:22,470 because they have this this operational 684 00:30:27,830 --> 00:30:26,100 experience but I think if you don't come 685 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:27,840 from the military if you're a scientist 686 00:30:32,420 --> 00:30:29,970 or engineer it's important to somehow go 687 00:30:36,410 --> 00:30:32,430 out and find some way of getting this 688 00:30:37,820 --> 00:30:36,420 operational experience it could be could 689 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:37,830 be something as simple as backcountry 690 00:30:42,410 --> 00:30:40,890 camping mountain climbing volunteer 691 00:30:43,820 --> 00:30:42,420 firefighters there's so many different 692 00:30:46,550 --> 00:30:43,830 ways good you just need to find 693 00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:46,560 something you like to do that challenges 694 00:30:50,990 --> 00:30:49,110 you it's great to be academic and study 695 00:30:52,430 --> 00:30:51,000 but you have to get out there do some 696 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:52,440 things that push your limits a little 697 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:54,450 bit where you have to make some 698 00:30:57,650 --> 00:30:56,490 decisions that affect your life you're 699 00:31:00,110 --> 00:30:57,660 off whether you live or die 700 00:31:01,550 --> 00:31:00,120 those are great experiences to have and 701 00:31:04,130 --> 00:31:01,560 kind of one of the main things that you 702 00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:04,140 look I really look for whether it's ISA 703 00:31:09,410 --> 00:31:05,790 or candor in the world is well-rounded 704 00:31:10,730 --> 00:31:09,420 people you can't be all you've ever 705 00:31:11,930 --> 00:31:10,740 wanted to do is just go into space and 706 00:31:12,740 --> 00:31:11,940 you have nothing else in your life 707 00:31:14,540 --> 00:31:12,750 outside of that 708 00:31:16,940 --> 00:31:14,550 you know the view we've got professional 709 00:31:19,700 --> 00:31:16,950 costume musician ridiculous you know 710 00:31:21,530 --> 00:31:19,710 climb Mount Everest we've got you know 711 00:31:25,010 --> 00:31:21,540 medical doctor people you know one of 712 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:25,020 the guys I flew it and then a PhD from 713 00:31:29,420 --> 00:31:27,450 MIT and he became them with a harder to 714 00:31:31,670 --> 00:31:29,430 get a medical doctor give it oncologist 715 00:31:33,890 --> 00:31:31,680 so just wide variety of interests 716 00:31:35,180 --> 00:31:33,900 intelligent people took that educational 717 00:31:36,860 --> 00:31:35,190 experience they had and put it to 718 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:36,870 practice and that's really what the 719 00:31:42,350 --> 00:31:39,770 other talk about we call it operation 720 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:42,360 certainly you know the last astronaut 721 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:45,090 class they had a selection a 2013 a year 722 00:31:50,090 --> 00:31:48,810 ago in the US or some 60 700 or so 723 00:31:52,940 --> 00:31:50,100 thousand applicants 724 00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:52,950 or which they took eight people and so 725 00:31:57,980 --> 00:31:55,710 really a lot of people that want to be 726 00:31:59,630 --> 00:31:57,990 part of the space program they're not 727 00:32:01,760 --> 00:31:59,640 trying to be a spark just apply in space 728 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:01,770 because you realize that if you're going 729 00:32:05,270 --> 00:32:03,330 to astronaut here with your time part of 730 00:32:07,130 --> 00:32:05,280 space is about this much you're kind of 731 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:07,140 an astronaut that we want to give up be 732 00:32:10,790 --> 00:32:08,370 part of the space program just like the 733 00:32:13,220 --> 00:32:10,800 other you know in the u.s. 80,000 people 734 00:32:15,170 --> 00:32:13,230 are that either can build a hardware 735 00:32:17,330 --> 00:32:15,180 write the software to build a space 736 00:32:18,830 --> 00:32:17,340 ships fuel-efficient whatever you can 737 00:32:21,290 --> 00:32:18,840 think of every single one of those 738 00:32:23,150 --> 00:32:21,300 people has to do their job the ask 739 00:32:24,710 --> 00:32:23,160 Transco do their job at the very end 740 00:32:27,470 --> 00:32:24,720 that they feel part where it's actually 741 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:27,480 in space so you know whether or not you 742 00:32:32,210 --> 00:32:29,730 come an astronaut or not we still need 743 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:32,220 really smart dedicated you know people 744 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:33,570 they want to be part of our space 745 00:32:38,150 --> 00:32:35,250 programs need every single one of them 746 00:32:40,820 --> 00:32:38,160 can make it all work it may be a 747 00:32:42,980 --> 00:32:40,830 relevant comment from sister down here 748 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:42,990 and they encourage habitat and other 749 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:45,330 important thing is who would five other 750 00:32:52,270 --> 00:32:48,810 people put up with living with me for a 751 00:32:56,990 --> 00:32:52,280 week under the water or in space fish 752 00:33:01,250 --> 00:32:57,000 yeah was a I'm still hard about people 753 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:01,260 off the island don't worry about that 754 00:33:05,950 --> 00:33:03,450 yeah I'm waiting for you guys to come 755 00:33:09,410 --> 00:33:05,960 out with your buffs and your torches um 756 00:33:11,810 --> 00:33:09,420 well so can you tell us a little bit 757 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:11,820 about the two other crew members that 758 00:33:16,460 --> 00:33:13,490 aren't on camera right now because 759 00:33:23,140 --> 00:33:16,470 they're very important and I would like 760 00:33:29,150 --> 00:33:25,700 hello English hey guys 761 00:33:34,010 --> 00:33:29,160 the gentleman was the hat is honor down 762 00:33:35,330 --> 00:33:34,020 here since Nemo was conceived and I 763 00:33:37,540 --> 00:33:35,340 think there's some of these giant 764 00:33:41,180 --> 00:33:37,550 groupers that are about as old as kid 765 00:33:43,970 --> 00:33:41,190 but he knows everything about you around 766 00:33:47,930 --> 00:33:43,980 here that was am i right never like 210 767 00:33:50,180 --> 00:33:47,940 days you spent out 211th today i 768 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:50,190 accumulated time living in the habitat 769 00:33:55,070 --> 00:33:53,370 and I did participate in Nemo one all 770 00:33:57,290 --> 00:33:55,080 those many years ago and a few other 771 00:33:59,990 --> 00:33:57,300 NEEMO missions between I think this made 772 00:34:01,610 --> 00:34:00,000 me my fourth or third or fourth NEEMO 773 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:01,620 mission and I was hot people want house 774 00:34:07,490 --> 00:34:05,730 to operate right it's true pleasure we 775 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:07,500 got our other expert Ryan here who's 776 00:34:13,340 --> 00:34:09,690 about to become a lead app technician 777 00:34:15,350 --> 00:34:13,350 for fairness as well he's out there 778 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:15,360 running around doing the fair leaning 779 00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:17,850 for Alliance today use nothing look you 780 00:34:20,870 --> 00:34:19,110 know the whole time we were out there 781 00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:20,880 and then some make sure everything was 782 00:34:24,020 --> 00:34:22,169 cleaned up at our proper configuration 783 00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:24,030 so we could do our simulations on the 784 00:34:29,240 --> 00:34:26,250 spacewalk but if you like that say right 785 00:34:31,940 --> 00:34:29,250 um I've been with the program for about 786 00:34:35,900 --> 00:34:31,950 eight years I started here as an intern 787 00:34:39,950 --> 00:34:35,910 for evo 11 also an intern for Nemo 12 788 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:39,960 and I've been here ever since this will 789 00:34:46,940 --> 00:34:42,330 be I'm coming up on around ninety days 790 00:34:50,030 --> 00:34:46,950 total inside Aquarius um and this is my 791 00:34:56,300 --> 00:34:50,040 eighth mission your first name Oh inside 792 00:34:57,650 --> 00:34:56,310 first NEEMO mission inside I didn't 793 00:34:59,570 --> 00:34:57,660 realize it was your first one inside 794 00:35:01,880 --> 00:34:59,580 that's great 795 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:01,890 I was lucky enough to meet Ryan my first 796 00:35:06,650 --> 00:35:04,890 NEEMO mission which was 15 and he was 797 00:35:08,810 --> 00:35:06,660 the very first person I did an on-camera 798 00:35:11,210 --> 00:35:08,820 interview with I always have to say that 799 00:35:13,550 --> 00:35:11,220 one because uh it was very 800 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:13,560 nerve-wracking since I have you guys 801 00:35:20,780 --> 00:35:15,810 here we have a question from someone on 802 00:35:21,650 --> 00:35:20,790 Google+ name Gok tube and you're gonna 803 00:35:23,300 --> 00:35:21,660 love it 804 00:35:26,090 --> 00:35:23,310 he wants to know how hard it is for 805 00:35:28,850 --> 00:35:26,100 individuals with resources to construct 806 00:35:29,660 --> 00:35:28,860 their own Do It Yourself Aquarius 807 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:29,670 habitat 808 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:34,090 oh it's harder than you may think 809 00:35:38,940 --> 00:35:36,490 and it's very expensive but essentially 810 00:35:41,070 --> 00:35:38,950 this is just a big recompression chamber 811 00:35:43,230 --> 00:35:41,080 and like you said earlier it's about the 812 00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:43,240 size of a yellow school bus but it's a 813 00:35:48,330 --> 00:35:45,910 steel cylinder that has to be rated a 814 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:48,340 certain high pressures and then having a 815 00:35:54,630 --> 00:35:51,370 most difficult parts of it is penetrator 816 00:35:57,300 --> 00:35:54,640 to penetrate through the hole and bring 817 00:36:00,030 --> 00:35:57,310 electrical systems in and ver plumbing 818 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:00,040 things like that if you culture or make 819 00:36:05,730 --> 00:36:01,930 man-made holes through the pressure 820 00:36:08,130 --> 00:36:05,740 shell that's a source of leaks so it has 821 00:36:10,170 --> 00:36:08,140 to be perfectly engineered so you can't 822 00:36:12,570 --> 00:36:10,180 have leaks around that so the wiring it 823 00:36:14,460 --> 00:36:12,580 comes in through here it's a big money 824 00:36:16,290 --> 00:36:14,470 business out there in the oceanographic 825 00:36:18,780 --> 00:36:16,300 world for making these kind of 826 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:18,790 penetrators that's another big cost and 827 00:36:23,820 --> 00:36:21,850 just the infrastructure itself inside is 828 00:36:25,220 --> 00:36:23,830 pretty expensive but there are believe 829 00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:25,230 it or not there's a couple of 830 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:27,310 do-it-yourselfers out there that do 831 00:36:31,350 --> 00:36:29,890 shallow water habitats without main 832 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:31,360 there's one in the Chesapeake Bay I've 833 00:36:36,810 --> 00:36:33,490 read about a couple of these but the 834 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:36,820 more really shallow water underwater 835 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:38,530 halfpence so good luck with it but be 836 00:36:42,750 --> 00:36:41,050 very very careful because the ocean or 837 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:42,760 lakes and water can be very unforgiving 838 00:36:48,510 --> 00:36:46,330 if it's done improperly a great question 839 00:36:50,130 --> 00:36:48,520 it might be better to rent this one and 840 00:36:52,770 --> 00:36:50,140 rent these guys they know what they're 841 00:36:55,470 --> 00:36:52,780 doing you know we're talking about 842 00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:55,480 emergency plans earlier and these guys 843 00:36:59,280 --> 00:36:57,490 are the emergency plan if anything 844 00:37:00,750 --> 00:36:59,290 really goes wrong down here the other 845 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:00,760 four of us it is going to be big eyes 846 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:02,530 looking at them and wait for them to 847 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:03,490 tell us what to do 848 00:37:08,550 --> 00:37:06,490 so we don't mess it up well you know now 849 00:37:13,710 --> 00:37:08,560 the next question has to be what do you 850 00:37:16,410 --> 00:37:13,720 do during an emergency well it depends 851 00:37:18,030 --> 00:37:16,420 on the emergency and the type of real 852 00:37:20,490 --> 00:37:18,040 emergencies we can have here the most 853 00:37:22,620 --> 00:37:20,500 dangerous ones are flooding and in a 854 00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:22,630 more particularly expire or if we can 855 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:24,730 leave the contaminated air our air 856 00:37:29,370 --> 00:37:26,530 supply that we're breathing right now 857 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:29,380 gets contaminated with carbon dioxide or 858 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:32,410 co2 carbon dioxide that can be a real 859 00:37:37,290 --> 00:37:35,410 problem but a fire itself that can cause 860 00:37:38,850 --> 00:37:37,300 electrical fires in your house we just 861 00:37:40,950 --> 00:37:38,860 can't run out the door and if there is 862 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:40,960 any kind of fire it's going to give off 863 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:42,970 those fumes and anything we breathe in 864 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:45,610 here it's to nap I was more toxic that 865 00:37:47,820 --> 00:37:47,290 it would be at the surface so graphic 866 00:37:50,220 --> 00:37:47,830 and having a 867 00:37:52,290 --> 00:37:50,230 Erez run demonstrating we have these 868 00:37:54,210 --> 00:37:52,300 emergency breathing masks that we would 869 00:37:55,530 --> 00:37:54,220 go on that has its separate source of 870 00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:55,540 air than what we are breathing right now 871 00:38:00,000 --> 00:37:58,210 so the biggest issues are that and we 872 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:00,010 train for it when the first day that 873 00:38:03,330 --> 00:38:02,170 these jets again we have a session where 874 00:38:05,430 --> 00:38:03,340 we talked about the different training 875 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:05,440 they don't do the steps that right I 876 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:08,050 will do but they know that there there's 877 00:38:12,750 --> 00:38:10,210 someone aware the steps especially the 878 00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:12,760 evacuation process to get on out of here 879 00:38:17,790 --> 00:38:15,730 if we have to have a safe haven outside 880 00:38:20,790 --> 00:38:17,800 of the habitat we can go through the 881 00:38:22,020 --> 00:38:20,800 fire and flooding are the people biggest 882 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:22,030 issues but we know how to deal with 883 00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:23,650 these are one of those and we have an 884 00:38:30,390 --> 00:38:26,310 escape plan if we needed to we could 885 00:38:33,990 --> 00:38:30,400 solve the problem ourselves others 886 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:34,000 dangers uh well not specifically inside 887 00:38:40,350 --> 00:38:36,850 the hammock fit but while the diversity 888 00:38:43,050 --> 00:38:40,360 operates are out on the reef um we have 889 00:38:46,740 --> 00:38:43,060 a standby diver at the ready at all 890 00:38:48,660 --> 00:38:46,750 times during their EPA's on that way if 891 00:38:51,450 --> 00:38:48,670 any of it makes pretty any trouble like 892 00:38:54,270 --> 00:38:51,460 they they get trapped outside um they 893 00:38:57,990 --> 00:38:54,280 have a loss of air or some other danger 894 00:38:59,490 --> 00:38:58,000 marine life happens to keep them from 895 00:39:02,070 --> 00:38:59,500 being able to make their way safely back 896 00:39:07,290 --> 00:39:02,080 into the habitat then we will be able to 897 00:39:09,300 --> 00:39:07,300 go out there in a system that's uh if 898 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:09,310 they hit the button that summons 899 00:39:15,390 --> 00:39:14,050 Godzilla right okay well since we're 900 00:39:20,270 --> 00:39:15,400 talking about being outside of the 901 00:39:25,290 --> 00:39:20,280 habitat and we've got a question from 902 00:39:29,730 --> 00:39:25,300 lost in space on Twitter and they want 903 00:39:33,810 --> 00:39:29,740 to know do you simulate simulate space 904 00:39:35,250 --> 00:39:33,820 walks on the Nemo 19 mission and maybe 905 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:35,260 you want to tell them a little bit about 906 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:38,290 the ABA tools that you guys are testing 907 00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:40,450 out there 908 00:39:45,770 --> 00:39:45,250 oh thanks guys thanks sorry wow thank 909 00:39:48,630 --> 00:39:45,780 you 910 00:39:50,550 --> 00:39:48,640 yes we have been simulating spacewalks 911 00:39:53,010 --> 00:39:50,560 in fact every day we have a spacewalk 912 00:39:54,660 --> 00:39:53,020 simulation or two that we do and 913 00:39:56,550 --> 00:39:54,670 specifically we're looking at two 914 00:39:58,380 --> 00:39:56,560 different things during this mission one 915 00:40:00,990 --> 00:39:58,390 we want to understand how we're going to 916 00:40:03,270 --> 00:40:01,000 take a core sample on another planetary 917 00:40:05,310 --> 00:40:03,280 body so let's say we do get to an 918 00:40:07,470 --> 00:40:05,320 asteroid how are we going to dig down 919 00:40:10,260 --> 00:40:07,480 one meter to the surface with some sort 920 00:40:11,670 --> 00:40:10,270 of surface drill and pull out a core so 921 00:40:13,290 --> 00:40:11,680 we can really find out what the 922 00:40:16,110 --> 00:40:13,300 asteroids made of we would apply this 923 00:40:18,420 --> 00:40:16,120 same the same technology on Mars on the 924 00:40:19,980 --> 00:40:18,430 moon for example so we actually have 925 00:40:22,050 --> 00:40:19,990 this amazing throw that they put 926 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:22,060 together this underwater drill then 927 00:40:26,310 --> 00:40:24,010 we're using to simulate that process and 928 00:40:27,630 --> 00:40:26,320 we're doing testing on okay are we able 929 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:27,640 to do this in a weightless environment 930 00:40:32,610 --> 00:40:29,770 are we able to do this in a one-thirty 931 00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:32,620 environment like we would have on Mars 932 00:40:35,820 --> 00:40:34,510 and so we're doing that on these 933 00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:35,830 spacewalks the other thing we're doing 934 00:40:42,090 --> 00:40:39,250 is in alignment with the company that 935 00:40:43,770 --> 00:40:42,100 Conrad was talking about is as we go out 936 00:40:46,290 --> 00:40:43,780 on these traverses we're exploring 937 00:40:46,830 --> 00:40:46,300 imagine we're on Mars and we go for a 938 00:40:51,030 --> 00:40:46,840 walk 939 00:40:53,100 --> 00:40:51,040 this place before we're getting all this 940 00:40:56,790 --> 00:40:53,110 footage back here on earth after a 941 00:40:57,990 --> 00:40:56,800 10-minute delay in travel and all of the 942 00:40:59,700 --> 00:40:58,000 scientists on the ground saying whoa 943 00:41:01,290 --> 00:40:59,710 whoa we need to know about that or he 944 00:41:03,540 --> 00:41:01,300 left that behind or we got to go back 945 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:03,550 and so we're going on these traverses 946 00:41:08,130 --> 00:41:06,370 and in Mission Control here during their 947 00:41:10,650 --> 00:41:08,140 seeing the pictures 10 minutes after we 948 00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:10,660 go by them and so we're practicing all 949 00:41:15,420 --> 00:41:12,250 of these techniques about how we handle 950 00:41:16,950 --> 00:41:15,430 that and so we have any comp system down 951 00:41:19,110 --> 00:41:16,960 here where normally we would just talk 952 00:41:21,390 --> 00:41:19,120 and someone gives us the answer imagine 953 00:41:23,220 --> 00:41:21,400 if we missed it and we were like say 954 00:41:24,870 --> 00:41:23,230 again it would take another 10 minutes 955 00:41:26,910 --> 00:41:24,880 for the information you got to Sooey 956 00:41:29,130 --> 00:41:26,920 we kind of have a voicemail instead of 957 00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:29,140 regular radio communication we get these 958 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:30,730 voicemails that we can play over and 959 00:41:35,820 --> 00:41:32,530 over again if we need to we use text 960 00:41:37,020 --> 00:41:35,830 that we can read as required so that's 961 00:41:38,820 --> 00:41:37,030 what we're doing on these spacewalks 962 00:41:41,340 --> 00:41:38,830 it's kind of fun and for us 963 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:41,350 they really are spacewalks this form you 964 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:43,690 know just like in space we get up to 965 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:45,610 people go out we suit them up we put 966 00:41:48,630 --> 00:41:46,930 them they get on their wetsuits put 967 00:41:51,210 --> 00:41:48,640 these big bulky helmets on and we make 968 00:41:52,860 --> 00:41:51,220 sure we do all the pressure checks on 969 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:52,870 the make sure they're working and then 970 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:54,370 we put them out the door they go on us 971 00:41:59,790 --> 00:41:56,650 walk so really cool simulation for us 972 00:42:01,920 --> 00:41:59,800 and it could be quite a complex task 973 00:42:03,540 --> 00:42:01,930 because the I mean program today did it 974 00:42:05,010 --> 00:42:03,550 all all four of us two of us were 975 00:42:07,500 --> 00:42:05,020 outside on a spacewalk 976 00:42:09,450 --> 00:42:07,510 Jeremy was a constant radio 977 00:42:12,060 --> 00:42:09,460 communication from inside going through 978 00:42:15,780 --> 00:42:12,070 the procedure is helping us out and ma 979 00:42:18,230 --> 00:42:15,790 was flying this underwater robot cameras 980 00:42:20,790 --> 00:42:18,240 that was helping to kind of get the 981 00:42:22,950 --> 00:42:20,800 situational awareness of what was going 982 00:42:25,170 --> 00:42:22,960 on outside so it was a complex process 983 00:42:27,780 --> 00:42:25,180 that involved all four of us today and 984 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:27,790 you know he makes the calculate know 985 00:42:32,460 --> 00:42:29,770 that it isn't just Mission Control 986 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:32,470 delaying stuff to us it's delayed to 987 00:42:35,430 --> 00:42:33,970 them as well and everybody's in this 988 00:42:37,710 --> 00:42:35,440 play of this problems we need to figure 989 00:42:44,390 --> 00:42:37,720 out how to operate as a team comically 990 00:42:50,910 --> 00:42:47,400 okay great I keep having to find the 991 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:50,920 mute button um so since we're talking 992 00:42:58,140 --> 00:42:52,330 about all the hard work that you guys 993 00:43:00,480 --> 00:42:58,150 are doing Jamie from Twitter asked what 994 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:00,490 do you guys do for exercise in the 995 00:43:04,470 --> 00:43:02,530 undersea habitat and I'm kind of 996 00:43:06,450 --> 00:43:04,480 wondering is what you just talked about 997 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:06,460 for our EBA sounds like a lot of 998 00:43:09,870 --> 00:43:07,450 exercise to me 999 00:43:12,910 --> 00:43:09,880 so give any extra exercise that you guys 1000 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:14,740 though we don't do anything else I mean 1001 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:19,450 it's already my row it's like a lollipop 1002 00:43:25,810 --> 00:43:23,570 well I'm going smaller and you can be 1003 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:25,820 more painful because we're equals what I 1004
