something before we went on the air

21
00:02:16,869 --> 00:02:15,520
something about after you kicked your

22
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:16,879
addiction

23
00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:46,790
one two three oh this kind of way yes i

24
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:48,080
want to be on the friday dance thanks

25
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:53,270
745 gene fiscal film center hey

26
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:55,680
demetrius hey and the international

27
00:02:59,830 --> 00:02:57,680
space station is hovering thousands of

28
00:03:02,390 --> 00:02:59,840
miles above the earth now two astronauts

29
00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:02,400
on board terry burts and scott kelly are

30
00:03:06,869 --> 00:03:04,959
joining us live to talk about the iss

31
00:03:10,949 --> 00:03:06,879
and how life is there station this is

32
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:12,630
we've got you loud and clear demetrius

33
00:03:19,990 --> 00:03:18,309
i hear you loud and clear also now uh

34
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:20,000
good morning from chicago first off i

35
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:21,280
just need to know need to put it out

36
00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:23,280
there have you guys seen this show

37
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:24,480
because it's hard to believe that

38
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:26,400
someone at nasa would approve this talk

39
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:28,400
back if they've ever watched wgn morning

40
00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:33,990
i actually neither one of us have ever

41
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,680
seen that show uh we did just see

42
00:03:38,789 --> 00:03:37,280
chicago a few minutes ago we just flew

43
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:38,799
over top of chicago but we haven't seen

44
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:43,430
oh thank goodness okay first off we want

45
00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:45,200
to know a lot about what life is like

46
00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:46,879
aboard the international space station

47
00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:48,720
can you tell us where you are

48
00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:50,400
in the space station and just what your

49
00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:58,550
yeah so we're currently in what's called

50
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:00,720
the japanese pressurized module the

51
00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:03,040
reason we do these events from here is

52
00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,480
it's kind of on the forward part of the

53
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:06,319
space station and a little bit out of

54
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:07,760
the way of where all the other crew

55
00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:09,760
members might be transiting through as

56
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:11,680
they do their daily work

57
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:13,760
so far my day has been filled mostly

58
00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:14,480
with

59
00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:17,280
some science activities that have to do

60
00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:18,799
with

61
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:21,600
the uh the fluid shifts in our that

62
00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:23,840
occur in our brains as a result of being

63
00:04:26,870 --> 00:04:26,080
in microgravity in our bodies

64
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:26,880
and

65
00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:29,120
how to potentially figure out if that's

66
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:30,560
a cause

67
00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:33,280
of our vision problems so we're taking a

68
00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:35,280
a bunch of samples today putting them in

69
00:04:39,189 --> 00:04:35,919
a

70
00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:39,199
in the jpm

71
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:40,320
and

72
00:04:46,150 --> 00:04:44,000
i don't know what terry was doing we we

73
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:46,160
kind of stay busy and sometimes are

74
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:47,840
doing these things uh

75
00:04:55,830 --> 00:04:54,710
and scott uh you're involved with the

76
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:55,840
mission that's going to keep you in

77
00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:57,840
space for a year and we're also going to

78
00:05:01,909 --> 00:05:00,479
study your twin mark while uh while

79
00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:01,919
you're up there can you tell us how

80
00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:03,440
that's going so far you said that you

81
00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:05,039
have to take a give a lot of samples

82
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:11,909
but we don't do that every day there's a

83
00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:13,600
whole lot of other different types of

84
00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:15,440
science that go on here some of it is

85
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:17,680
exploration based you know how do we get

86
00:05:23,749 --> 00:05:21,039
further from the planet uh someday

87
00:05:25,990 --> 00:05:23,759
other science is kind of more earth

88
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:26,000
looking how to improve life on earth we

89
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:28,000
say you know we're here off the earth

90
00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:29,840
for the earth and the stuff with my

91
00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:32,639
brother is a you know a small subset of

92
00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:35,600
some of that mostly in regards to the

93
00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:37,360
effects of the space environment on our

94
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:39,600
genetics so like you said it does

95
00:05:43,590 --> 00:05:41,680
involve taking a lot of samples and

96
00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:43,600
we've actually started that activity and

97
00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:49,270
we've kind of looked into your work

98
00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:51,120
schedule and you guys really have long

99
00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:53,600
days so much work so much so many

100
00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:55,520
experiments so many day-to-day things to

101
00:06:01,990 --> 00:05:57,440
do what do you do for fun when you're up

102
00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:03,990
exactly scott's demonstrating one of the

103
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:05,680
things we get to do yes

104
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:07,840
another thing that we get to do is take

105
00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:09,680
pictures of the earth and the and the

106
00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:11,680
universe which is one of my favorite

107
00:06:15,029 --> 00:06:13,280
activities whenever i get a few minutes

108
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:15,039
i try and find a window and

109
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:16,319
and take a picture of something

110
00:06:19,749 --> 00:06:18,160
interesting

111
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:19,759
we've sometimes we'll watch a movie

112
00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:21,600
together on saturday nights

113
00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:22,800
we have a

114
00:06:25,909 --> 00:06:24,479
telephone system that is occasionally

115
00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:25,919
available we can call home to friends

116
00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:28,160
and family and so um there's not a lot

117
00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:29,600
of free time like you mentioned but when

118
00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:31,360
we do have it there's there's plenty to

119
00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:34,080
do

120
00:06:38,469 --> 00:06:36,000
well terry we're showing some of your

121
00:06:39,990 --> 00:06:38,479
just uh phenomenal vines and tweets and

122
00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:40,000
things like that i mean you are really

123
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:41,919
becoming really popular with what you

124
00:06:45,830 --> 00:06:44,080
call earth art tell us what it's like to

125
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:45,840
have the earth kind of outside your

126
00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:48,000
office window and what it's like to just

127
00:06:54,150 --> 00:06:49,840
kind of start to share this with folks

128
00:06:56,790 --> 00:06:55,670
you know i wish i could describe it with

129
00:06:59,110 --> 00:06:56,800
words but

130
00:07:01,189 --> 00:06:59,120
i just can't and so the the photography

131
00:07:02,550 --> 00:07:01,199
does a much better job than any words

132
00:07:04,629 --> 00:07:02,560
that i could add it's like trying to

133
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:04,639
describe creation with words is just

134
00:07:07,670 --> 00:07:05,840
inadequate

135
00:07:08,870 --> 00:07:07,680
the uh thing that really sticks out to

136
00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:08,880
me though

137
00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:10,639
that even photography can't capture is

138
00:07:14,469 --> 00:07:12,560
the colors that you see especially

139
00:07:16,070 --> 00:07:14,479
during the spacewalk and even

140
00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:16,080
occasionally looking out the window i've

141
00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:17,759
just seen colors that i've never seen

142
00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:18,880
before

143
00:07:24,070 --> 00:07:21,360
and especially shades of blue

144
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,080
and so it's it's fabulous the earth is

145
00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:26,319
very unique seeing sunrises and sunsets

146
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:28,319
is unique looking out and seeing the

147
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:30,720
galaxy go by um

148
00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:32,160
planets you know every there's so many

149
00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:33,520
different things you can see i could

150
00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:34,800
take an hour just talking about all

151
00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:39,350
and scott our producer did some digging

152
00:07:43,749 --> 00:07:41,120
they found out that you actually watched

153
00:07:45,990 --> 00:07:43,759
the movie gravity while they're on the

154
00:07:47,990 --> 00:07:46,000
international space station we have a

155
00:07:50,390 --> 00:07:48,000
resident conspiracy theorist his name is

156
00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:50,400
larry here he let us know that there's a

157
00:07:53,990 --> 00:07:52,160
laser that causes all types of trouble

158
00:07:55,749 --> 00:07:54,000
in that movie and now there's talk about

159
00:07:57,909 --> 00:07:55,759
putting a laser on the international

160
00:08:04,629 --> 00:07:57,919
space station to just kind of shoot away

161
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:06,230
you know i had never heard of that

162
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:08,080
before but you know we have an internet

163
00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:10,240
connection and last night i woke up and

164
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:11,120
i was

165
00:08:15,749 --> 00:08:13,440
on it for a little bit on a news site

166
00:08:17,589 --> 00:08:15,759
and i saw something about it and then it

167
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:17,599
kind of our

168
00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:19,280
internet connection froze up or

169
00:08:23,110 --> 00:08:20,720
something and i woke up in the morning

170
00:08:24,790 --> 00:08:23,120
i'm like did i really see that so

171
00:08:26,629 --> 00:08:24,800
i've never even heard of it really

172
00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:26,639
before last night and you mentioning it

173
00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:28,960
but but and it would be pretty cool if

174
00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:31,120
we could do that you know sometimes we

175
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:33,120
have to move the space station out of

176
00:08:36,070 --> 00:08:34,240
the way

177
00:08:37,909 --> 00:08:36,080
of uh debris i need to learn a little

178
00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:37,919
bit more about it does sound a little

179
00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:41,760
bit science fiction like

180
00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:43,440
if you lost internet connection believe

181
00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:46,560
me you have seen or worked for wgn news

182
00:08:50,150 --> 00:08:48,320
hey tell me about what you guys uh do

183
00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:50,160
for fun around there and also we wanted

184
00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:51,680
to know what do you do when you need to

185
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:53,600
get away from the co-workers where do

186
00:09:00,790 --> 00:08:59,269
well the good news is we have a great

187
00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:00,800
group of uh people here and it's

188
00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:02,800
actually we enjoy like scott said when

189
00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:04,160
we're working we're kind of on our own

190
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:05,519
all day long and so it's fun to get

191
00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:06,880
together in the evenings and have dinner

192
00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:08,560
on saturdays watch a movie

193
00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:10,480
but the space station is pretty big it's

194
00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:12,000
about the size of

195
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:15,360
maybe two 747s it's a big place between

196
00:09:18,790 --> 00:09:16,800
all the american modules the russian

197
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:18,800
modules we're in the japanese module

198
00:09:21,670 --> 00:09:20,320
right now there's a european module so

199
00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:21,680
there's a lot of volume here that you

200
00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:22,959
can kind of get

201
00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:24,000
um

202
00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:26,000
off and just spend the day by yourself

203
00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:27,120
doing work

204
00:09:31,269 --> 00:09:28,480
but we do enjoy getting together at

205
00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:31,279
night to talk watch watch tv or maybe

206
00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:33,200
maybe they'll send up your show

207
00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:35,200
uh so i want to thank you guys for for

208
00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:36,959
coming on today we want to wish you

209
00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:39,040
godspeed and certainly a very successful

210
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:40,480
ending to your mission thank you very

211
00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:46,710
thank you and hello chicago and great

212
00:09:57,829 --> 00:09:55,190
station this is houston acr that

213
00:10:00,150 --> 00:09:57,839
concludes the wgn tv portion of the

214
00:10:06,550 --> 00:10:00,160
event please stand by for a voice check

215
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:25,590
uh

216
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:52,310
my

217
00:10:58,069 --> 00:10:54,949
station this is bloomberg tv how do you

218
00:10:58,079 --> 00:11:03,590
we've got you loud and clear

219
00:11:10,230 --> 00:11:06,790
let's begin with telling everybody

220
00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:10,240
where are you how many miles above the

221
00:11:15,670 --> 00:11:12,480
earth are you and

222
00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:15,680
what points have you been able to see

223
00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:21,509
well right now we're about 250 miles

224
00:11:24,949 --> 00:11:23,040
above the earth we're right over the

225
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:24,959
south atlantic in between south america

226
00:11:27,509 --> 00:11:26,320
and africa

227
00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:27,519
and

228
00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:29,279
we just passed over new york city

229
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:31,519
toronto new york and the east coast

230
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:33,760
uh about 15 or 20 minutes ago we took a

231
00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:35,760
few pictures it was a little bit cloudy

232
00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:37,920
so we're going at 17 000 miles an hour

233
00:11:48,389 --> 00:11:46,150
scott kelly i'm wondering if you can

234
00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:48,399
show us some of your great physical

235
00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:50,800
dance moves that you've been able to

236
00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:54,480
perfect in zero gravity while terry

237
00:12:00,629 --> 00:11:56,480
tells us about some of the experiments

238
00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:03,030
well i think those that know me

239
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:05,120
well know that i don't have any dance

240
00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:06,320
moves

241
00:12:11,829 --> 00:12:08,240
i can flip around a little bit for you

242
00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:11,839
and i'll give the mic to terry

243
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:13,920
yeah the ability to float is uh one of

244
00:12:16,629 --> 00:12:15,440
the one of the coolest parts about being

245
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:16,639
in space

246
00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:17,760
one of the things we'll miss when we get

247
00:12:21,750 --> 00:12:19,680
back to gravity we do a lot of different

248
00:12:23,750 --> 00:12:21,760
science here pim it's a

249
00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:23,760
it's a world class laboratory there's a

250
00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:25,680
lot of human physiology experiments that

251
00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:26,720
we do

252
00:12:29,430 --> 00:12:28,240
scott and myself and several other

253
00:12:31,590 --> 00:12:29,440
crewmates have been doing a lot of

254
00:12:32,629 --> 00:12:31,600
different eye testing and different

255
00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:32,639
human

256
00:12:36,629 --> 00:12:34,000
samples today

257
00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:36,639
the there's a material science

258
00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:38,560
laboratory that we have

259
00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:40,639
physics basic physics astronomy so

260
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:42,880
basically every discipline in science

261
00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:44,320
there's some type of experiment that

262
00:12:52,470 --> 00:12:50,629
all right it's time for scott to answer

263
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:52,480
a question and this would be is there

264
00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:54,880
something specific that you want to

265
00:13:05,110 --> 00:12:57,839
accomplish during your time

266
00:13:09,990 --> 00:13:06,949
well there are a lot of scientific

267
00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:10,000
objectives to this uh to this flight uh

268
00:13:13,829 --> 00:13:11,519
there are the one-year science

269
00:13:14,629 --> 00:13:13,839
objectives which are many there's this

270
00:13:18,949 --> 00:13:14,639
uh

271
00:13:20,710 --> 00:13:18,959
brother and i there's all other kinds of

272
00:13:23,430 --> 00:13:20,720
research that goes on almost 400

273
00:13:26,949 --> 00:13:23,440
different science scientific experiments

274
00:13:30,389 --> 00:13:26,959
will go on uh for the entire year

275
00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:30,399
um that i'm here but you know and those

276
00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:32,480
are all very very important my my

277
00:13:35,670 --> 00:13:34,800
personal goals however is that we be

278
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:35,680
safe

279
00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:38,720
no one gets hurt we complete as many of

280
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:40,800
our mission objectives as we can

281
00:13:46,829 --> 00:13:43,040
and also meet the first two and then we

282
00:13:57,590 --> 00:13:49,750
friends is there anything that drives

283
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,990
nope

284
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,990
terry

285
00:14:09,829 --> 00:14:07,750
no we're very lucky we have a great crew

286
00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:09,839
here and like i was saying earlier we we

287
00:14:13,509 --> 00:14:11,760
have a busy work day usually it's like

288
00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:13,519
seven to eight p seven in the morning to

289
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:14,880
eight night often

290
00:14:18,150 --> 00:14:16,720
and we're usually on our own doing our

291
00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:18,160
own experiments and work and so in the

292
00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:19,600
evenings we enjoy getting together and

293
00:14:23,110 --> 00:14:21,360
hanging out together so we're very lucky

294
00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:23,120
to have a good group of uh american

295
00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:25,760
italian and russian crewmates

296
00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:27,360
and let me let me just add to that real

297
00:14:37,829 --> 00:14:28,560
quick

298
00:14:45,269 --> 00:14:40,710
branson to check out space as

299
00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:47,990
i think it's great you know this is a a

300
00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:50,720
really remarkable place it's uh it's a

301
00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:51,920
privilege

302
00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:54,000
to uh to be able to come here and

303
00:14:57,990 --> 00:14:56,480
represent your country and my colleagues

304
00:14:59,910 --> 00:14:58,000
you know representing their countries as

305
00:15:01,750 --> 00:14:59,920
well terry and i aren't the only two

306
00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:01,760
americans up here right now so yeah i

307
00:15:05,829 --> 00:15:03,760
think it's a great thing i think uh you

308
00:15:08,069 --> 00:15:05,839
know it's going to take some time but

309
00:15:10,230 --> 00:15:08,079
you know we're very uh serious

310
00:15:12,550 --> 00:15:10,240
industrious talented people and we'll

311
00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:12,560
solve that problem someday and hopefully

312
00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:14,240
in the future maybe not too distant

313
00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:16,399
future people will have the opportunity

314
00:15:21,590 --> 00:15:19,440
to whether go to uh you know uh low

315
00:15:23,509 --> 00:15:21,600
earth orbit hopefully but if not the

316
00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:23,519
suborbital flight and see the earth and

317
00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:25,760
all the all the beauty and the

318
00:15:33,030 --> 00:15:26,560
the

319
00:15:40,870 --> 00:15:35,110
terry how have you managed to stay in

320
00:15:44,389 --> 00:15:42,230
that's one of the most important things

321
00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:44,399
we do here because obviously your

322
00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:46,000
muscles and your bones would waste away

323
00:15:49,829 --> 00:15:47,920
if you didn't exercise so every day they

324
00:15:51,829 --> 00:15:49,839
give us an hour of aerobics either on a

325
00:15:53,350 --> 00:15:51,839
bike or a treadmill and an hour and a

326
00:15:54,470 --> 00:15:53,360
half of weight lifting and i did that

327
00:15:56,230 --> 00:15:54,480
this morning

328
00:15:58,870 --> 00:15:56,240
and you basically do that every day for

329
00:16:00,389 --> 00:15:58,880
six months or a year in scott's case and

330
00:16:02,310 --> 00:16:00,399
you stay in pretty good shape the folks

331
00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:02,320
that come back after these long duration

332
00:16:05,030 --> 00:16:03,600
space missions

333
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:05,040
are in remarkable shape when they get

334
00:16:13,910 --> 00:16:10,870
scott

335
00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:13,920
what about being able to monitor your

336
00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:15,920
own health while you're there in the

337
00:16:22,150 --> 00:16:18,959
space station do you use any of those

338
00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:22,160
consumer devices like a fitbit or any

339
00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:30,629
well you know when we do the uh the

340
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:33,519
aerobic exercises we have a heart rate

341
00:16:37,189 --> 00:16:35,680
monitor but it's nothing you know

342
00:16:39,670 --> 00:16:37,199
state-of-the-art

343
00:16:41,430 --> 00:16:39,680
uh i'm sure there's some off-the-shelf

344
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:41,440
stuff that is a little bit more advanced

345
00:16:44,550 --> 00:16:42,720
than we're what using the what we're

346
00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:44,560
using up here but it takes a long time

347
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:46,320
to certify stuff for space flight and

348
00:16:50,230 --> 00:16:48,240
it's very expensive so if we have

349
00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:50,240
something that works we tend to stick

350
00:16:53,590 --> 00:16:51,600
with it

351
00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:53,600
and we also have a great team of people

352
00:16:57,829 --> 00:16:55,600
on the ground whether it's our flight

353
00:17:00,790 --> 00:16:57,839
surgeons or exercise

354
00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:00,800
specialists the biomedical engineers so

355
00:17:06,549 --> 00:17:04,559
you know unlike maybe people on earth

356
00:17:12,949 --> 00:17:06,559
you know we have a whole team that backs

357
00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:14,309
terry i wonder if you could speak a

358
00:17:21,909 --> 00:17:16,720
little bit about your sleep patterns and

359
00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:23,669
you know sleeping in space is wonderful

360
00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:24,880
it's one of my favorite things about

361
00:17:27,990 --> 00:17:26,160
being up here

362
00:17:29,669 --> 00:17:28,000
i have a sleeping bag climb in the

363
00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:29,679
sleeping bag and i don't velcro it to

364
00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:31,280
the wall or tie it off or anything i

365
00:17:34,310 --> 00:17:33,360
just float in this little cabin that we

366
00:17:36,870 --> 00:17:34,320
have each

367
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:36,880
each of us has his own sleeping cabin

368
00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:38,400
and that's really fun

369
00:17:41,830 --> 00:17:40,080
during the week

370
00:17:43,190 --> 00:17:41,840
i think most folks sleep between six and

371
00:17:44,470 --> 00:17:43,200
seven hours a night and then on the

372
00:17:49,590 --> 00:17:44,480
weekend

373
00:17:50,789 --> 00:17:49,600
that i can sleep in that that lets me

374
00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:50,799
catch up

375
00:17:56,870 --> 00:17:52,080
but the sleeping is one of the best

376
00:18:00,549 --> 00:17:58,390
and what about eating what's your

377
00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:00,559
favorite food what's a typical intake

378
00:18:06,789 --> 00:18:04,710
so

379
00:18:09,029 --> 00:18:06,799
the food here is is pretty good we have

380
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:09,039
a team in houston that makes us food

381
00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:11,200
we've got meats and vegetables side

382
00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:13,440
dishes and desserts and fruits

383
00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:15,440
not a lot of fresh fruit that comes up

384
00:18:18,549 --> 00:18:17,039
whenever we have a cargo ship they'll

385
00:18:19,830 --> 00:18:18,559
put a few apples oranges or something

386
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:19,840
like that on there but they don't last

387
00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:21,760
that long so all the food that we have

388
00:18:26,789 --> 00:18:24,080
is either dehydrated food that we have

389
00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,799
to add water to or it's in the style

390
00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:28,480
that our military members use and their

391
00:18:32,390 --> 00:18:30,880
mre the green bags of food

392
00:18:33,669 --> 00:18:32,400
but it's a pretty good variety actually

393
00:18:35,590 --> 00:18:33,679
it's much better than what i would be

394
00:18:37,830 --> 00:18:35,600
eating if i were a bachelor having to

395
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:37,840
cook to my cook for myself

396
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:39,760
and there there is some variety

397
00:18:42,150 --> 00:18:40,880
of course there's stuff that we miss

398
00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:42,160
about earth and looking forward to

399
00:18:48,310 --> 00:18:43,360
getting some home cooking when i get

400
00:18:54,549 --> 00:18:51,909
scott kelly is there a particular book

401
00:18:56,390 --> 00:18:54,559
that you would recommend people read in

402
00:19:03,990 --> 00:18:56,400
order to get a better understanding of

403
00:19:12,390 --> 00:19:06,710
um not that i'm aware of i don't know

404
00:19:15,990 --> 00:19:14,310
well my favorite books about space are

405
00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:16,000
are the ones about the apollo program

406
00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:18,240
andrew chaiken and uh and others have

407
00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:19,440
written a lot of great books about

408
00:19:23,029 --> 00:19:21,440
apollo

409
00:19:24,470 --> 00:19:23,039
there was a book dragonfly about the

410
00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:24,480
mirror station that describes some of

411
00:19:27,270 --> 00:19:25,840
the challenges that the astronauts and

412
00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:27,280
cosmonauts faced

413
00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:29,200
um

414
00:19:33,029 --> 00:19:31,440
the the book 2001 i read when i was a

415
00:19:34,870 --> 00:19:33,039
teenager and that was that was awesome

416
00:19:36,870 --> 00:19:34,880
it's amazing we actually watched part of

417
00:19:38,549 --> 00:19:36,880
that movie uh recently up here

418
00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:38,559
how many of those things came true even

419
00:19:41,830 --> 00:19:40,320
though that was over 50 years ago that

420
00:19:45,990 --> 00:19:41,840
arthur clark wrote that book so there's

421
00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:47,029
the question is do you want to read

422
00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:48,320
science fiction or do you want to read

423
00:19:55,029 --> 00:19:50,080
the science fact about what it's really

424
00:20:01,990 --> 00:19:57,750
i want to thank you gentlemen very much

425
00:20:06,549 --> 00:20:03,909

426
00:20:08,149 --> 00:20:06,559
