Rome and here's 109 00:06:24,770 --> 00:06:21,930 the question so we have studied that you 110 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:24,780 astronauts to stay healthy you have to 111 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:29,250 train regularly how much physical 112 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:31,650 exercise do you do per day and what 113 00:06:40,010 --> 00:06:35,970 instruments do you use to train Julia hi 114 00:06:42,529 --> 00:06:40,020 Julia so program our activity program 115 00:06:44,749 --> 00:06:42,539 has two and a half hours dedicated to 116 00:06:47,629 --> 00:06:44,759 sport to physical activity and they're 117 00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:47,639 divided in two kinds one is resistive 118 00:06:52,339 --> 00:06:50,070 exercise so that's what on earth you do 119 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:52,349 with weights so here we're weightless so 120 00:06:58,670 --> 00:06:55,050 of course working with weights would not 121 00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:58,680 work so we have machine call a red which 122 00:07:01,779 --> 00:07:00,240 allows you to do the same types of 123 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:01,789 exercises that you would do in the gym 124 00:07:07,749 --> 00:07:04,410 just without weights and this is to 125 00:07:10,550 --> 00:07:07,759 maintain muscular tone but also to give 126 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:10,560 stimulus to our bones so that our body 127 00:07:17,510 --> 00:07:15,810 does not decide to lose bone mass while 128 00:07:22,279 --> 00:07:17,520 we're here without weight and then we 129 00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:22,289 have a platform a treadmill and somewhat 130 00:07:28,939 --> 00:07:26,849 of a bike so without without a seat even 131 00:07:31,129 --> 00:07:28,949 the treadmill we have a harness with 132 00:07:33,529 --> 00:07:31,139 some belts that will that keep us 133 00:07:39,620 --> 00:07:33,539 attached to the treadmill so that we're 134 00:07:46,350 --> 00:07:44,490 kalasin hi I'm just after i am from 135 00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:46,360 santa cheesiest cool and this is the 136 00:07:52,469 --> 00:07:48,910 question we've made I I've read that 137 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:52,479 each astronaut can bring with them up to 138 00:08:00,930 --> 00:07:57,130 1.5 kilo of personal effects what did 139 00:08:05,490 --> 00:08:00,940 you bring with you how does that fit hi 140 00:08:08,189 --> 00:08:05,500 Giuseppe so I brought for the most part 141 00:08:11,010 --> 00:08:08,199 in this 1.5 kilo that you're talking 142 00:08:12,930 --> 00:08:11,020 about it is what we can bring with us 143 00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:12,940 with the so you so it's what flies with 144 00:08:18,779 --> 00:08:16,030 us and comes back with us so i put the 145 00:08:20,730 --> 00:08:18,789 most precious a lot of things with me 146 00:08:23,460 --> 00:08:20,740 for them for the most part it's small 147 00:08:26,540 --> 00:08:23,470 objects that friends and family have 148 00:08:28,830 --> 00:08:26,550 given to me that there are objects of 149 00:08:30,659 --> 00:08:28,840 significance for them so that that i 150 00:08:32,969 --> 00:08:30,669 brought here to to add even a little 151 00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:32,979 more significance that i will then 152 00:08:38,490 --> 00:08:35,169 return to them and then i brought with 153 00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:38,500 me some few hundreds of little books 154 00:08:45,449 --> 00:08:41,529 that you can keep in the palm of your 155 00:08:48,269 --> 00:08:45,459 hand which i've used to collect some 156 00:08:50,579 --> 00:08:48,279 poems and little excerpts that are of 157 00:08:52,590 --> 00:08:50,589 significance for me and that that 158 00:08:55,050 --> 00:08:52,600 somewhat gives some meaning in the in 159 00:08:58,769 --> 00:08:55,060 the words of writers and poets that they 160 00:09:01,079 --> 00:08:58,779 give somewhat of a meaning of living in 161 00:09:05,660 --> 00:09:01,089 space and those two will be gifts for 162 00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:11,800 jajaja and does hi Samantha I'm emanuela 163 00:09:20,570 -->

00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:27,240 that your passion for space started it 167 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:30,090 was there a teacher that motivated you 168 00:09:39,650 --> 00:09:36,210 in this direction Simon wedding hi 169 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:39,660 Manuela and congratulations to Madera so 170 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:42,930 I've always dreamed since I was little 171 00:09:48,350 --> 00:09:45,090 to go to space even before I understood 172 00:09:50,210 --> 00:09:48,360 how you go into space and what what's an 173 00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:50,220 astronaut was in reality so I used to 174 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:52,800 watch sci-fi movies and and I was 175 00:09:58,100 --> 00:09:56,490 dreaming of exploring space and flying 176 00:10:01,540 --> 00:09:58,110 on a spaceship but then growing up I 177 00:10:04,940 --> 00:10:01,550 became more enamored with science and 178 00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:04,950 technologies and flight so I became an 179 00:10:07,730 --> 00:10:06,570 engineer and then a military pilot so 180 00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:07,740 all these things that put me on this 181 00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:10,110 path so so that the world of astronauts 182 00:10:14,750 --> 00:10:12,240 in is a world of technology science and 183 00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:14,760 flight and it's also very international 184 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:17,760 inter cultural environment so my other 185 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:19,770 passion is languages so it's a type of 186 00:10:24,530 --> 00:10:21,930 life that's very much made for me and 187 00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:24,540 I'm very happy in it because all my 188 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:38,860 shalimar hi Samantha i'ma tell from the 189 00:10:42,580 --> 00:10:40,850 comprehensive Institute visconti of Rome 190 00:10:45,310 --> 00:10:42,590 and this is a question that I wanted to 191 00:10:47,740 --> 00:10:45,320 ask you so throughout your path to 192 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:47,750 become an astronaut did you find any 193 00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:51,770 obstacles and I think when they when 194 00:10:55,570 --> 00:10:52,870 they seemed like they were 195 00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:55,580 insurmountable did you think about 196 00:11:01,000 --> 00:10:58,640 giving up and and if not how did you 197 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:01,010 find solutions to your problems ciao 198 00:11:07,170 --> 00:11:04,250 mithu hi Matto it's an interesting 199 00:11:10,060 --> 00:11:07,180 question I don't think I've ever had any 200 00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:10,070 obstacles that seemed unsurmountable but 201 00:11:15,490 --> 00:11:13,279 also perhaps because mentally I've never 202 00:11:16,810 --> 00:11:15,500 accepted that an obstacle would be 203 00:11:20,590 --> 00:11:16,820 insurmountable there might be 204 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:20,600 difficulties it can require what do you 205 00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:22,850 mean be you know what a Cuban facing 206 00:11:28,150 --> 00:11:26,029 obstacle can require sacrifice and an 207 00:11:30,910 --> 00:11:28,160 effort but but let's say that in my head 208 00:11:33,790 --> 00:11:30,920 nothing was ever unsurmountable so and 209 00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:33,800 almost always it's like that I really 210 00:11:37,450 --> 00:11:35,570 believe especially when you're very 211 00:11:40,180 --> 00:11:37,460 young like you that you can face life 212 00:11:43,630 --> 00:11:40,190 and difficulties with with faith in 213 00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:43,640 yourself that that a solution with 214 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:47,510 effort and a little bit of effort you 215 00:11:51,460 --> 00:11:48,890 can find so don't ever think about 216 00:11:58,500 --> 00:11:51,470 giving up because this way you'll never 217 00:12:08,830 --> 00:12:05,560 cow hi hi Samantha I'm Julia I come from 218 00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:08,840 Monta compadre I would like to ask you a 219 00:12:19,090 --> 00:12:16,070 question cuz I Monday I gonna gobble 220 00:12:27,150 --> 00:12:19,100 what will you eat the day after you come 221 00:12:30,250

00:12:37,780 --> 00:12:35,990 believe that i will eat a big salad one 225 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:37,790 of those big salads that you eat in the 226 00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:42,130 summer full of of fresh vegetables 227 00:12:47,230 --> 00:12:44,720 hopefully some seeds and nuts a little 228 00:12:49,060 --> 00:12:47,240 bit of mozzarella and tomatoes so this 229 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:49,070 so this is a little bit what I imagined 230 00:13:03,620 --> 00:13:01,360 Charles and a francese hi I'm Francesca 231 00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:03,630 from the comprehensive Institute 232 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:06,480 Institute me not see of matera so here's 233 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:08,370 a question here on earth we take 234 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:10,490 everything for granted where he used to 235 00:13:16,130 --> 00:13:13,290 be better we used to having everything 236 00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:16,140 and everyone that we need right here 237 00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:18,510 when you're far away from everything and 238 00:13:22,910 --> 00:13:20,880 everyone do you feel that you're able to 239 00:13:24,949 --> 00:13:22,920 appreciate more the value of every 240 00:13:27,980 --> 00:13:24,959 single thing Charles ranches hi 241 00:13:30,290 --> 00:13:27,990 Francesca well so a little bit you 242 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:30,300 understand that a lot of things and a 243 00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:32,730 lot of commodities that you have on 244 00:13:36,259 --> 00:13:34,800 earth that you believe are essentially 245 00:13:38,750 --> 00:13:36,269 important that you can't live without 246 00:13:41,210 --> 00:13:38,760 then in the end they're not so important 247 00:13:44,569 --> 00:13:41,220 after all you you adapt to living very 248 00:13:47,420 --> 00:13:44,579 easily in and living in a more Spartan 249 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:47,430 way with with less amenities so it's 250 00:13:54,069 --> 00:13:50,610 just a question of adapting and of being 251 00:13:57,500 --> 00:13:54,079 a little more flexible and you live 252 00:13:59,870 --> 00:13:57,510 really with serenity with without a lot 253 00:14:02,600 --> 00:13:59,880 of things so I say when you're here it's 254 00:14:04,910 --> 00:14:02,610 like camping you have to adapt but it's 255 00:14:07,819 --> 00:14:04,920 kind of a luxury camping because you 256 00:14:09,319 --> 00:14:07,829 have you have a lot of things at your 257 00:14:12,079 --> 00:14:09,329 disposal you know we don't have running 258 00:14:15,110 --> 00:14:12,089 water but we have a toilet we have a 259 00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:15,120 great variety of foods and beverages we 260 00:14:18,829 --> 00:14:16,560 have a little bit of room to salute 261 00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:18,839 sleep so at the end it's not such an 262 00:14:26,579 --> 00:14:20,160 uncomfortable life you just have to 263 00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:30,160 so soon every code alla scala men llaman 264 00:14:35,950 --> 00:14:32,720 teresa giudice Leah Emery careless 265 00:14:38,290 --> 00:14:35,960 sabado de las naciones passione I I 266 00:14:40,750 --> 00:14:38,300 would like to ask you if on board of the 267 00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:40,760 International Space Station you took 268 00:14:46,030 --> 00:14:42,529 you've got the flu like we did a school 269 00:14:49,570 --> 00:14:46,040 and how you cured yourself so the virus 270 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:49,580 can the virus spread in situations of 271 00:14:55,690 --> 00:14:52,730 microgravity hi Rico the the question is 272 00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:55,700 interesting so the the answer is no we 273 00:15:00,190 --> 00:14:58,250 did not get the flu because the flu 274 00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:00,200 virus is not here on board we're very 275 00:15:08,260 --> 00:15:03,279 careful every time that a new vehicle 276 00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:08,270 arrives we're careful that people don't 277 00:15:16,060 --> 00:15:11,360 bring something like the flu or even 278 00:15:18,370 --> 00:15:16,070 another microbiological cargo so we test 279 00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:18,380 the air surfaces and water we 280 00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:20,000 continuously test to make sure that 281 00:15:23,199 --> 00:15:21,680 there's no contamination but your 282 00:15:25,810 --> 00:15:23,209 question is interesting in another way 283 00:15:29,829 --> 00:15:25,820 it's true that we've made experiments 284 00:15:32,590 --> 00:15:29,839 with pathology with pathogens also 285 00:15:34,420 --> 00:15:32,600 viruses and we verified that in 286 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:34,430 weightlessness there they're much more 287 00:15:40,329 --> 00:15:37,490 virulent and aggressive and this is it 288 00:15:43,540 --> 00:15:40,339 goes hand in hand with an immune 289 00:15:45,910 --> 00:15:43,550 depression so there are our immune 290 00:15:48,940 --> 00:15:45,920 system of animals and human beings it's 291 00:15:51,370 --> 00:15:48,950 compromised up here so it's it's surely 292 00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:51,380 thinking about future missions and 293 00:15:55,269 --> 00:15:52,910 exploration it's something that we need 294 00:15:58,810 --> 00:15:55,279 to study and go into in depth because we 295 00:16:00,550 --> 00:15:58,820 have stronger pathogens and and a weaker 296 00:16:05,489 --> 00:16:00,560 immune system which is not a very happy 297 00:16:09,909 --> 00:16:08,049 Telamon thousand of java Billy hi 298 00:16:12,220 --> 00:16:09,919 Samantha I'm Giada from the 299 00:16:14,349 --> 00:16:12,230 comprehensive Institute Samantha I 300 00:16:15,789 --> 00:16:14,359 wanted to ask you if throughout all 301 00:16:22,379 --> 00:16:15,799 these months on board a space station 302 00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:22,389 you missed your family jajaja hi jata 303 00:16:27,099 --> 00:16:25,160 Commission lob I as I've talked about 304 00:16:29,409 --> 00:16:27,109 earlier there are lots of possibilities 305 00:16:32,289 --> 00:16:29,419 to stay in contact so perhaps what I 306 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:32,299 didn't say earlier is that once a week 307 00:16:36,819 --> 00:16:34,730 they organize a video conference where 308 00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:36,829 we can see our family and our family can 309 00:16:41,939 --> 00:16:39,169 see us and for one hour we can talk this 310 00:16:45,579 --> 00:16:41,949 way so the the opportunities to contact 311 00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:45,589 we have and there are many and in many 312 00:16:50,169 --> 00:16:48,350 ways you get used to to allow these 313 00:16:52,809 --> 00:16:50,179 moments of communication to become very 314 00:16:54,579 --> 00:16:52,819 special and intense of course you you're 315 00:16:57,849 --> 00:16:54,589 missing the contact and physical 316 00:17:00,129 --> 00:16:57,859 presence and the possibility to hug and 317 00:17:05,910 --> 00:17:00,139 be closed so this of course a little bit 318 00:17:12,380 --> 00:17:09,620 come on hi Samantha I'm da vida from the 319 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:12,390 comprehensive Institute voltar idea Rita 320 00:17:17,970 --> 00:17:15,280 and I would add I would like to ask you 321 00:17:24,330 --> 00:17:17,980 about what you do during your rest 322 00:17:27,030 --> 00:17:24,340 periods child of Eden I davide bet Nona 323 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:27,040 so we don't have a lot of free time 324 00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:29,050 especially during the week I have to say 325 00:17:34,590 --> 00:17:32,110 that the days are very full and you get 326 00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:34,600 to evening and and you ate and perhaps 327 00:17:40,350 --> 00:17:37,510 you call the family you write a couple 328 00:17:43,620 --> 00:17:40,360 of emails and at least I'm tired so I I 329 00:17:46,890 --> 00:17:43,630 sleep like a stone afterwards but you 330 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:46,900 have a little more free time in the 331 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:49,810 weekends unless they're the weekends 332 00:17:53,970 --> 00:17:51,490 like we've had recently but I like to 333 00:17:56,820 --> 00:17:53,980 take photographs so we have this very 334 00:17:59,610 --> 00:17:56,830 beautiful view from Earth from the 335 00:18:02,180 --> 00:17:59,620 cupola and I've tried throughout the 336 00:18:06,330 --> 00:18:02,190 mission to take photos of places that 337 00:18:08,580 --> 00:18:06,340 struck me so that I can share it with 338 00:18:11,220 --> 00:18:08,590 people on earth that have been following 339 00:18:13,530 --> 00:18:11,230 the mission but of course otherwise we 340 00:18:16,860 --> 00:18:13,540 spend time together usually on weekends 341 00:18:19,890 --> 00:18:16,870 we organize dinners where we all six of 342 00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:19,900 us dine together this past weekend of 343 00:18:25,710 --> 00:18:22,150 course we celebrated my my birthday and 344 00:18:28,050 --> 00:18:25,720 I have to say almost the entire crew has 345 00:18:29,790 --> 00:18:28,060 said birthday during the mission so 346 00:18:38,950 --> 00:18:29,800 celebrating weekends is sort of a 347 00:18:47,409 --> 00:18:43,529 John Samantha hi Samantha this is Flavio 348 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:47,419 II from the comprehensive Institute of 349 00:18:54,250 --> 00:18:49,610 Rome I would like to know how you 350 00:18:58,060 --> 00:18:54,260 recycle the useful substances and how 351 00:19:00,940 --> 00:18:58,070 you get rid of waste hi Flavio it's a 352 00:19:03,010 --> 00:19:00,950 very interesting question we have a life 353 00:19:05,409 --> 00:19:03,020 support system here which is a closed 354 00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:05,419 loop system meaning that we recycle all 355 00:19:12,370 --> 00:19:09,110 the waste products of human life of 356 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:12,380 course except for solid waste so urine 357 00:19:18,580 --> 00:19:15,770 is recycled and transformed into potable 358 00:19:22,990 --> 00:19:18,590 water but even sweat and humidity that 359 00:19:25,090 --> 00:19:23,000 that is is injected into the cabin is is 360 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:25,100 recondense into the air conditioning 361 00:19:30,789 --> 00:19:28,250 system and then it's sent to a system 362 00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:30,799 that recycles it and transforms it into 363 00:19:35,620 --> 00:19:33,710 potable water so the water recycling 364 00:19:39,490 --> 00:19:35,630 system is closed loop except for some 365 00:19:43,210 --> 00:19:39,500 lakes that are happening which that's 366 00:19:44,740 --> 00:19:43,220 why we replenish but even breathing the 367 00:19:47,380 --> 00:19:44,750 carbon dioxide that we breathe is 368 00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:47,390 removed from the cabin otherwise this is 369 00:19:52,990 --> 00:19:50,080 very important otherwise this would be a 370 00:19:55,389 --> 00:19:53,000 tox toxic because we don't have plants 371 00:19:57,279 --> 00:19:55,399 up here we have a hardware that removes 372 00:19:58,930 --> 00:19:57,289 carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and 373 00:20:02,080 --> 00:19:58,940 even then it's a completely closed 374 00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:02,090 system so so we have a sub idea cycle 375 00:20:06,299 --> 00:20:04,370 that closes the cycle and then I forget 376 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:06,309 I forgot to tell you the oxygen is 377 00:20:20,110 --> 00:20:17,860 John come on hi Samantha this is at the 378 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:20,120 end of the this link and we thank you so 379 00:20:26,050 --> 00:20:22,730 much for being with us today all the 380 00:20:30,460
