keeps calling me butch and I've been 21 00:01:18,350 --> 00:01:06,720 up here for four months I launched on a 22 00:01:21,620 --> 00:01:18,360 Soyuz 40s I'm Air Force colonel terry 23 00:01:24,649 --> 00:01:21,630 virts and I launched in November with 24 00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:24,659 Samantha on Soyuz 41s from Baikonur in 25 00:01:28,730 --> 00:01:27,180 Kazakhstan we've been here for about two 26 00:01:31,249 --> 00:01:28,740 months and we've been very busy doing a 27 00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:31,259 lot of experiments and science and also 28 00:01:34,730 --> 00:01:33,030 getting maintenance done getting and 29 00:01:41,630 --> 00:01:34,740 keeping the space station in working 30 00:01:42,289 --> 00:01:41,640 order Italian Air Force captain samantha 31 00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:42,299 cristoforetti 32 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:44,310 and of course i came here about two 33 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:47,250 months ago with Terry and say miss Terry 34 00:01:51,770 --> 00:01:49,170 I'm enjoying my time up here and doing a 35 00:01:54,639 --> 00:01:51,780 lot of science doing all kinds of 36 00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:54,649 interesting scientific research and 37 00:02:00,980 --> 00:01:58,290 enjoying floating a lot great well Terry 38 00:02:03,530 --> 00:02:00,990 butch Samantha I'm now gonna do 39 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:03,540 somebody's question we do and here they 40 00:02:09,609 --> 00:02:06,090 come and you can step right out here 41 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:09,619 they can't see you my name is Latrice in 42 00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:13,050 life is this life in space hoarders at 43 00:02:24,610 --> 00:02:21,860 his life in space hard or is it easy 44 00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:24,620 well it depends on what you're doing 45 00:02:30,290 --> 00:02:27,360 some things I would say nothing's hard 46 00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:30,300 we're very very well-trained prepared 47 00:02:36,140 --> 00:02:32,160 well for all different aspects the 48 00:02:37,370 --> 00:02:36,150 launching the different science and and 49 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:37,380 protocols and things that we do 50 00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:38,970 maintenance that we do on board station 51 00:02:42,230 --> 00:02:40,650 of course the re-entry as well when we 52 00:02:44,420 --> 00:02:42,240 come back on the Russian Soyuz we're 53 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:44,430 very very well trained but days are long 54 00:02:49,490 --> 00:02:46,890 and sometimes they're filled with many 55 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:49,500 many many many many different tasks so 56 00:02:53,090 --> 00:02:51,330 if anything hard about it 57 00:02:56,180 --> 00:02:53,100 that would be it just keeping mentally 58 00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:56,190 tied in all the time can be very trying 59 00:03:00,500 --> 00:02:58,800 on your mind but what a great 60 00:03:01,940 --> 00:03:00,510 environment what a great place to work I 61 00:03:03,530 --> 00:03:01,950 mean you can flip upside down in a 62 00:03:05,510 --> 00:03:03,540 heartbeat the floor is the ceiling the 63 00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:05,520 ceiling is the floor there is no up or 64 00:03:10,250 --> 00:03:07,200 down and like Samantha said when we 65 00:03:27,650 --> 00:03:10,260 started it is a fabulous time and it's a 66 00:03:30,530 --> 00:03:27,660 lot of fun thank you that's a great 67 00:03:33,410 --> 00:03:30,540 question and as you can see it's so cool 68 00:03:34,850 --> 00:03:33,420 floating you can go on the ceiling you 69 00:03:36,620 --> 00:03:34,860 can go on the walls it doesn't matter 70 00:03:38,750 --> 00:03:36,630 which direction you are you can just 71 00:03:40,010 --> 00:03:38,760 readapt and after you've been here for a 72 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:40,020 few weeks you really get used to 73 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:42,930 floating and being weightless and it's 74 00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:44,610 really fun to be able to move around and 75 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:47,519 just kind of with no effort flip 76 00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:50,010 yourself over like that and for me 77 00:03:58,790 --> 00:03:51,209 that's probably my favorite thing that 78 00:04:01,160 --> 00:03:58,800 we get to do up here hello I'm Terry 79 00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:01,170 Mullins what's do you have to do to 80 00:04:15,420 --> 00:04:13,259 well there's different paths to become 81 00:04:17,969 --> 00:04:15,430 an astronaut some astronauts are 82 00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:17,979 military pilots most of them are also 83 00:04:23,250 --> 00:04:20,320 test pilots some astronauts are 84 00:04:25,050 --> 00:04:23,260 scientists or engineers and a lot of 85 00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:25,060 astronauts have mixed backgrounds like 86 00:04:28,770 --> 00:04:26,710 there are pilots but they also have a 87 00:04:31,230 --> 00:04:28,780 background in science or engineering or 88 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:31,240 medicine you can also study medicine we 89 00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:33,490 have also doctors in among our fellow 90 00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:36,479 astronauts so those are main main pads 91 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:38,889 it's important you know to work hard in 92 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:41,650 school to do well and I like to say it's 93 00:04:45,060 --> 00:04:43,450 really important to choose a career you 94 00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:45,070 know before you become an astronaut that 95 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:46,750 you really love that you're passionate 96 00:04:51,330 --> 00:04:49,210 about because that that's really the the 97 00:04:53,190 --> 00:04:51,340 key the secret to being good at what you 98 00:04:55,050 --> 00:04:53,200 do and you know when you're good at what 99 00:05:03,840 --> 00:04:55,060 you do then you're also a good candidate 100 00:05:06,860 --> 00:05:03,850 for the astronaut program hi I'm Danny 101 00:05:10,430 --> 00:05:06,870 Michaels and I go to Maury Elementary 102 00:05:23,570 --> 00:05:10,440 mine's kind of similar to her questions 103 00:05:29,610 --> 00:05:27,240 Danny the weather is always clear so 104 00:05:31,860 --> 00:05:29,620 that's a good thing what push didn't be 105 00:05:34,529 --> 00:05:31,870 to be an astronaut I think the biggest 106 00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:34,539 desire I had was to do the best what the 107 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:36,160 attributes that the good Lord gave me 108 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:38,530 and to try to pursue any and everything 109 00:05:43,950 --> 00:05:41,050 that I could and I wound up joining the 110 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:43,960 military had a patriotic tug and as I 111 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:45,970 was in the military I was able to fly 112 00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:47,530 was had that opportunity went to flight 113 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:49,870 school and once I got my wings my wings 114 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:52,330 of gold my Navy wings of gold there was 115 00:05:57,390 --> 00:05:55,090 no higher place you could fly or faster 116 00:05:59,490 --> 00:05:57,400 to fly than on the space shuttle so sort 117 00:06:01,050 --> 00:05:59,500 of that set that as a goal out there and 118 00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:01,060 thought maybe one day that might be an 119 00:06:05,070 --> 00:06:03,910 opportunity and eventually in 2009 I was 120 00:06:07,379 --> 00:06:05,080 able to do that fly the space shuttle 121 00:06:08,670 --> 00:06:07,389 and then recently like we just said four 122 00:06:11,969 --> 00:06:08,680 months ago launched on a Russian Soyuz 123 00:06:13,650 --> 00:06:11,979 and here we are now so I'm very grateful 124 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:13,660 for all the opportunities it's certainly 125 00:06:18,180 --> 00:06:16,090 not ourselves it's many people involved 126 00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:18,190 that actually get us to this point so 127 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:20,080 grateful to my family and all of them as 128 00:06:24,510 --> 00:06:21,370 well 129 00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:24,520 Thanks hello my name is Charlotte Basso 130 00:06:29,310 --> 00:06:27,310 and I go to Watkins Elementary I was 131 00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:29,320 just wondering how do you move around in 132 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:37,870 an antigravity environment hi Charlotte 133 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:39,970 like we were demonstrating before that 134 00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:41,770 is something that you kind of need to 135 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:43,120 learn how to do and you have to learn 136 00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,770 quick because as soon as the rockets 137 00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:46,479 engines shut down a few minutes after 138 00:06:50,460 --> 00:06:48,880 launch you're weightless and you don't 139 00:06:53,070 --> 00:06:50,470 have time to learn how to walk you just 140 00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:53,080 have to do it but it takes a little bit 141 00:06:57,029 --> 00:06:54,310 of getting used to but we've been here 142 00:06:59,219 --> 00:06:57,039 for long enough that that that we know 143 00:07:01,950 --> 00:06:59,229 how to move you have to move very slowly 144 00:07:03,060 --> 00:07:01,960 at first and if you push just with a 145 00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:03,070 little bit of force I don't know if you 146 00:07:07,620 --> 00:07:04,960 can see my finger here but I'll put some 147 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:07,630 push on Samantha shoulders and then you 148 00:07:11,969 --> 00:07:09,850 start moving so you have to control how 149 00:07:13,590 --> 00:07:11,979 much pushing and pulling you do 150 00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:13,600 otherwise you'll go flying into the wall 151 00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:15,280 and hit your head on something so you 152 00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:17,710 got to be careful but it's really fun 153 00:07:21,330 --> 00:07:19,360 and it's something that the humans can 154 00:07:23,219 --> 00:07:21,340 really learn how to do and adapt to they 155 00:07:24,779 --> 00:07:23,229 have a question for you guys anybody go 156 00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:24,789 to Maryland schools there I grew up in 157 00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:27,039 Maryland I went to school in Prince 158 00:07:31,529 --> 00:07:28,840 George's County and Columbia Howard 159 00:07:39,180 --> 00:07:31,539 County you got a bunch of hands going up 160 00:07:42,210 --> 00:07:39,190 there Terry what school I went to Fort 161 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:42,220 McHenry Elementary I asked the question 162 00:07:47,460 --> 00:07:44,050 I went to Fort McHenry Elementary in 163 00:07:48,540 --> 00:07:47,470 Lanham and Oakland Mills and Columbia 164 00:07:53,330 --> 00:07:48,550 but I'll let these kids ask some 165 00:08:01,219 --> 00:07:58,350 my question to you is I heard that y'all 166 00:08:09,820 --> 00:08:01,229 a 3d printed a tool how is that going 167 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:12,920 yes we did we had several things that we 168 00:08:18,530 --> 00:08:15,930 printed a 3d printer the 3d printer has 169 00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:18,540 now been stashed away and all of those 170 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:20,400 items that we printed have been bagged 171 00:08:23,780 --> 00:08:22,050 up because we're returning them to earth 172 00:08:25,460 --> 00:08:23,790 they're going to be analyzed because 173 00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:25,470 before they sent that printer up here 174 00:08:29,750 --> 00:08:27,510 they actually printed the same items on 175 00:08:32,450 --> 00:08:29,760 earth that we printed up here except for 176 00:08:34,610 --> 00:08:32,460 one we printed also a ratchet wrench and 177 00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:34,620 but all those things are going back I 178 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:40,800 wish I could show them to you yeah but 179 00:08:44,060 --> 00:08:42,210 yeah the ratchet wench we printed was 180 00:08:45,530 --> 00:08:44,070 similar to this one just fairly small 181 00:08:47,450 --> 00:08:45,540 but a ratchet wrench it was actually 182 00:08:49,660 --> 00:08:47,460 usable you could actually use it they 183 00:08:51,620 --> 00:08:49,670 wouldn't let us use it I wanted to but 184 00:08:53,420 --> 00:08:51,630 anyway those are bagged up and be 185 00:08:54,950 --> 00:08:53,430 heading back on the spacex the Dragon 186 00:08:57,020 --> 00:08:54,960 capsule that'll be heading back I think 187 00:09:00,800 --> 00:08:57,030 around the 10th of February so that's 188 00:09:03,980 --> 00:09:00,810 what those are now hi my name is Robert 189 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:03,990 Golan and I I want to know how is it 190 00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:07,410 like being in a spacesuit in like when 191 00:09:19,940 --> 00:09:17,910 you're outside of your ship Robert that 192 00:09:21,890 --> 00:09:19,950 is a great question what's it like being 193 00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:21,900 in a spacesuit when you're outside of 194 00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:23,760 the ship you know Robert when you get in 195 00:09:28,430 --> 00:09:25,920 one of those space walking suits you 196 00:09:31,010 --> 00:09:28,440 actually get into a spaceship it's a 197 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:31,020 one-man spaceship it's got all the 198 00:09:34,730 --> 00:09:32,850 life-support it's got the oxygen that 199 00:09:36,830 --> 00:09:34,740 you need it's got cooling system that 200 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:36,840 circulates cold water so you can stay 201 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:39,810 cool so you don't get overheated the 202 00:09:42,980 --> 00:09:41,370 only thing it doesn't have inside is 203 00:09:44,810 --> 00:09:42,990 food you have a little we have a little 204 00:09:46,730 --> 00:09:44,820 water bag but we don't have any way to 205 00:09:48,740 --> 00:09:46,740 take food with us so we can only stay 206 00:09:51,380 --> 00:09:48,750 for certain length of time but it's 207 00:09:53,270 --> 00:09:51,390 absolutely fascinating the view through 208 00:09:54,590 --> 00:09:53,280 the visor without having an atmosphere 209 00:09:57,350 --> 00:09:54,600 to look through just the vacuum of space 210 00:09:59,420 --> 00:09:57,360 is so clear and it's just the thought 211 00:10:01,460 --> 00:09:59,430 that when you're outside we never go out 212 00:10:02,750 --> 00:10:01,470 alone we always send two people out but 213 00:10:04,220 --> 00:10:02,760 you think about you're the only two 214 00:10:05,570 --> 00:10:04,230 people in the entire universe that are 215 00:10:09,430 --> 00:10:05,580 doing something like that at that moment 216 00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:09,440 it's a pretty pretty special thing 217 00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:13,440 hi I'm Nandini from the Thomas Jefferson 218 00:10:18,110 --> 00:10:15,600 High School and I was wondering before 219 00:10:20,270 --> 00:10:18,120 you first went out into space what was 220 00:10:28,660 --> 00:10:20,280 the thing that intimidated you the most 221 00:10:33,410 --> 00:10:31,430 well I can tell you that the day that I 222 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:33,420 went on the spacewalk I don't know that 223 00:10:39,860 --> 00:10:36,810 there was a lot of fear but even more so 224 00:10:42,199 --> 00:10:39,870 there was a spacewalk by my two comrades 225 00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:42,209 a commander Wiseman also a navy Navy 226 00:10:47,829 --> 00:10:44,910 commander and Alex Gerst they went out 227 00:10:50,110 --> 00:10:47,839 on a spacewalk about nine days before 228 00:10:53,630 --> 00:10:50,120 Wiseman and myself went out and when I 229 00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:53,640 suited them up and got them ready that 230 00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:55,440 was the most stressful thing that I have 231 00:10:59,000 --> 00:10:57,360 done up here because their lives were 232 00:11:00,800 --> 00:10:59,010 literally in my hands I had to get their 233 00:11:02,930 --> 00:11:00,810 helmets on right I had to get their 234 00:11:04,970 --> 00:11:02,940 maneuvering packs on right I had to make 235 00:11:07,010 --> 00:11:04,980 sure that the depress of the of the 236 00:11:09,650 --> 00:11:07,020 cabin went just according to plan and 237 00:11:11,810 --> 00:11:09,660 that was actually much much more of a 238 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:11,820 stress because it wasn't my life that 239 00:11:17,380 --> 00:11:14,490 was in at stake it was it veilleux's and 240 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:17,390 that's something that's a very very 241 00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:20,370 detailed process getting someone out the 242 00:11:23,210 --> 00:11:21,510 door you know you think when you open 243 00:11:25,579 --> 00:11:23,220 the hatch the first time and you go 244 00:11:28,070 --> 00:11:25,589 outside you've already been in the suit 245 00:11:30,170 --> 00:11:28,080 for five hours almost five hours even 246 00:11:31,699 --> 00:11:30,180 before you open the hatch and the person 247 00:11:33,170 --> 00:11:31,709 that's doing the most work is the one 248 00:11:35,210 --> 00:11:33,180 that's getting you ready to go out and 249 00:11:36,620 --> 00:11:35,220 the next spacewalk if it goes as planned 250 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:36,630 colonel verts and I are going to go out 251 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:38,250 and Samantha is going to have that task 252 00:11:42,730 --> 00:11:39,930 and I tell you what I don't envy her 253 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:42,740 because it is a very detailed very 254 00:11:55,820 --> 00:11:53,660 hello I'm Kelton and what was this a job 255 00:11:58,490 --> 00:11:55,830 you want ever since you were kid or as 256 00:12:09,009 --> 00:11:58,500 you got orders it was this something you 257 00:12:13,939 --> 00:12:11,689 hey that's a great question thanks 258 00:12:15,919 --> 00:12:13,949 actually when I was very young in 259 00:12:18,350 --> 00:12:15,929 elementary school still I don't think I 260 00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:18,360 was eight years old yet 261 00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:20,910 I already told people adults and 262 00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:22,649 teachers that when I grew up I wanted to 263 00:12:26,479 --> 00:12:24,480 go to space and of course I didn't have 264 00:12:29,059 --> 00:12:26,489 an exact idea what it means to be an 265 00:12:32,359 --> 00:12:29,069 astronaut back then but as I grew up and 266 00:12:34,369 --> 00:12:32,369 I had a better idea this thought of 267 00:12:36,470 --> 00:12:34,379 becoming an astronaut and going to space 268 00:12:38,689 --> 00:12:36,480 actually attracted me more and more and 269 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:38,699 then I was fortunate enough that growing 270 00:12:43,489 --> 00:12:41,730 up I developed mature interests for for 271 00:12:45,319 --> 00:12:43,499 science and technology and for flying 272 00:12:48,229 --> 00:12:45,329 and and guess what those are the things 273 00:12:50,419 --> 00:12:48,239 that can lead you to become an astronaut 274 00:12:53,780 --> 00:12:50,429 so it all came together wonderfully for 275 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:53,790 me and you know it's just the best thing 276 00:13:00,309 --> 00:12:55,410 that I could possibly imagine doing so 277 00:13:03,199 --> 00:13:00,319 I'm very very happy my name is Nicole 278 00:13:04,460 --> 00:13:03,209 Fogle and what do you think the first 279 00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:04,470 thing you're gonna do when you get back 280 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:16,110 to earth well that's that's a good 281 00:13:19,639 --> 00:13:17,850 question Samantha and I are gonna land 282 00:13:22,689 --> 00:13:19,649 together in the same Soyuz along with 283 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:22,699 our Russian friend anton shkaplerov and 284 00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:24,569 samantha I are gonna get on an airplane 285 00:13:28,489 --> 00:13:26,639 with a NASA crew of folks and we're 286 00:13:29,539 --> 00:13:28,499 gonna come directly back to Houston but 287 00:13:31,340 --> 00:13:29,549 I think one of the first things that 288 00:13:33,019 --> 00:13:31,350 that I'll probably want to do is get a 289 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:33,029 shower when we finally get to shower 290 00:13:38,629 --> 00:13:35,970 there's no showers up here although we 291 00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:38,639 have towels and basically you take a hot 292 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:40,110 water put it in the towel and that's 293 00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:41,610 kind of your shower for six months and 294 00:13:44,329 --> 00:13:43,049 it's actually pretty good we can say 295 00:13:46,539 --> 00:13:44,339 pretty clean and stuff but that's that's 296 00:13:48,739 --> 00:13:46,549 one thing I'm looking forward to doing 297 00:13:50,119 --> 00:13:48,749 hey butch has a demo here he's gonna 298 00:13:52,669 --> 00:13:50,129 show you a little bit of physics in 299 00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:52,679 space yeah I want to show you all this 300 00:13:56,449 --> 00:13:54,480 this this is just an iPad y'all can 301 00:13:59,059 --> 00:13:56,459 y'all very familiar with this notice how 302 00:14:01,220 --> 00:13:59,069 it's almost twice as wide as it is that 303 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:01,230 long or twice as long as it is wide so 304 00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:02,730 because of that because of the momentum 305 00:14:06,590 --> 00:14:04,110 and how that what the hell that affects 306 00:14:10,009 --> 00:14:06,600 it if I flip it just right it will flip 307 00:14:11,479 --> 00:14:10,019 twice and then it will roll the next 308 00:14:26,380 --> 00:14:11,489 time and it'll keep doing that so let's 309 00:14:31,010 --> 00:14:29,630 there goes the there goes the roll it 310 00:14:33,650 --> 00:14:31,020 flips a couple times and then it rolls 311 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:33,660 over so when you guys take physics class 312 00:14:37,850 --> 00:14:35,490 your your physics instructors can 313 00:14:39,140 --> 00:14:37,860 explain mass moments of inertia and it's 314 00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:39,150 cool being in space because you can 315 00:14:53,930 --> 00:14:50,530 hello my name is Josiah Murphy from 316 00:14:56,030 --> 00:14:53,940 Cardozo education campus and I was 317 00:14:57,830 --> 00:14:56,040 wondering what kind of work or 318 00:15:05,570 --> 00:14:57,840 researcher are you three doing currently 319 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:05,580 up in space well it's actually been 320 00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:07,410 really interesting we just had this 321 00:15:11,900 --> 00:15:09,510 cargo vehicle arrived with a lot of 322 00:15:13,370 --> 00:15:11,910 science on board and so we've all been 323 00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:13,380 busy all day every day even on the 324 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:16,710 weekends we were doing science I'm doing 325 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:18,450 a material science right now where 326 00:15:23,660 --> 00:15:20,970 they're measuring how materials as they 327 00:15:26,930 --> 00:15:23,670 cool how they become coarse and how the 328 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:26,940 molecules inside these melted liquids as 329 00:15:31,370 --> 00:15:29,610 they as they solidify how they change we 330 00:15:33,260 --> 00:15:31,380 have a plant experiment in the Columbus 331 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:33,270 module in the European module down the 332 00:15:36,620 --> 00:15:35,010 way there that's really cool it's got 333 00:15:37,610 --> 00:15:36,630 this big pink light so at night time 334 00:15:40,070 --> 00:15:37,620 when you turn all the lights off the 335 00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:40,080 whole station is glowing pink and we 336 00:15:44,060 --> 00:15:41,550 grew some plants I think today butch 337 00:15:45,730 --> 00:15:44,070 harvested some plants samantha was 338 00:15:48,740 --> 00:15:45,740 working with fruit flies we had a 339 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:48,750 experiment of fruit flies this past 340 00:15:54,530 --> 00:15:51,330 weekend I was taking these back these 341 00:15:58,670 --> 00:15:54,540 little worms called C elegans and we fed 342 00:16:01,280 --> 00:15:58,680 them some bacteria Salmonella and e-coli 343 00:16:03,290 --> 00:16:01,290 so they were happy at first to eat them 344 00:16:05,180 --> 00:16:03,300 but these are obviously things that make 345 00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:05,190 you sick so there are studying how the 346 00:16:09,860 --> 00:16:07,680 immune system on the worms are affected 347 00:16:12,170 --> 00:16:09,870 by the disease and hopefully that can 348 00:16:13,820 --> 00:16:12,180 help us out on earth so the last few 349 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:13,830 days has been a lot of different science 350 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:14,850 that we've been doing it's been pretty 351 00:16:25,340 --> 00:16:21,930 interesting my name is Liliana Scott and 352 00:16:28,430 --> 00:16:25,350 I am home-schooled and my question is 353 00:16:39,710 --> 00:16:28,440 what do you do for fun to pass time in 354 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:43,579 I think most of us really enjoy taking 355 00:16:48,619 --> 00:16:46,290 pictures spending time in the cupola 356 00:16:51,679 --> 00:16:48,629 this is this magnificent window on the 357 00:16:53,569 --> 00:16:51,689 earth we have the we see the earth from 358 00:16:55,910 --> 00:16:53,579 Horizon to horizon so we actually see 359 00:16:57,259 --> 00:16:55,920 very well the curvature of the earth and 360 00:16:59,960 --> 00:16:57,269 of course we can also see the skies 361 00:17:02,809 --> 00:16:59,970 above the horizon for example yesterday 362 00:17:05,210 --> 00:17:02,819 Terry and I were hunting for a comment 363 00:17:07,699 --> 00:17:05,220 Lovejoy which is visible from Earth as 364 00:17:09,289 --> 00:17:07,709 well I think it will still be visible 365 00:17:11,329 --> 00:17:09,299 for a few weeks so you can come and hunt 366 00:17:14,620 --> 00:17:11,339 for the comment yourself so we enjoy 367 00:17:18,110 --> 00:17:14,630 doing that last night I enjoy immensely 368 00:17:20,090 --> 00:17:18,120 finding places on earth that maybe have 369 00:17:22,069 --> 00:17:20,100 a special significance or that just 370 00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:22,079 speak to me because of that geography 371 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:24,600 and they're so interesting or you know 372 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:26,610 most of the time is just an incredible 373 00:17:30,830 --> 00:17:28,650 beauty I mean it's it's an ever change 374 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:30,840 ever changing colors and shapes and 375 00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:33,570 place of shade and light and the Sun 376 00:17:39,260 --> 00:17:37,260 glint and clouds and you know a desert 377 00:17:42,380 --> 00:17:39,270 and ocean and mountains and Plains and 378 00:17:44,270 --> 00:17:42,390 snow it's just an incredible infinite 379 00:17:46,279 --> 00:17:44,280 variety that no artist could possibly 380 00:17:49,779 --> 00:17:46,289 come up with and it's just very very 381 00:17:55,330 --> 00:17:49,789 beautiful what are you doing there Terry 382 00:17:58,039 --> 00:17:55,340 you and what's what you doing actually 383 00:17:59,360 --> 00:17:58,049 he said he could see you guys he's sure 384 00:18:01,299 --> 00:17:59,370 he's showing him one of the cameras we 385 00:18:03,860 --> 00:18:01,309 use for taking pictures of the earth and 386 00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:03,870 recently the lab window has been free 387 00:18:06,770 --> 00:18:05,280 we've been able to take pictures in here 388 00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:06,780 normally it's got a payload in there but 389 00:18:10,070 --> 00:18:08,640 so we've got these big giant they're 390 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:10,080 almost telescopes here taking pictures 391 00:18:17,450 --> 00:18:15,210 of the earth my name is Katie Quinn and 392 00:18:29,250 --> 00:18:17,460 I was wondering what's the coolest thing 393 00:18:34,890 --> 00:18:33,300 you know Katie man that is hard to pick 394 00:18:36,540 --> 00:18:34,900 the number one thing because so many 395 00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:36,550 things are cool and every day it's
