1
00:00:07,190 --> 00:00:02,550
station this is houston are you ready

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,390
i am ready for the event

3
00:00:14,070 --> 00:00:12,150
larry king now this is mission control

4
00:00:17,189 --> 00:00:14,080
houston please call station for a voice

5
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:19,189
station this is larry king how do you

6
00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:26,390
i hear you good sir how do you hear me

7
00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:28,320
i hear you fine stop with the search

8
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:38,549
you you orbit the earth 16 times a day

9
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:40,239
where you got where are you guys right

10
00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:46,869
you know i i was just looking at it and

11
00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:48,239
then uh

12
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:51,440
something came up here we are um

13
00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:53,600
we are right over australia and it's the

14
00:00:57,670 --> 00:00:55,360
uh the middle of the night there right

15
00:01:01,349 --> 00:00:59,830
what what's that is your average day

16
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:01,359
like do you live

17
00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:03,280
do you work like on eastern time to get

18
00:01:12,149 --> 00:01:05,840
up at eight o'clock do you work all day

19
00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:15,190
so we uh we work on uh most of the time

20
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:17,280
almost all the time on on greenwich mean

21
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:19,360
time so we get up at about six or seven

22
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:21,439
in the morning greenwich time so the

23
00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:24,000
time that a lot of europe is on and then

24
00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:26,400
we go to sleep at uh 10 to 11 o'clock at

25
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:29,119
night again on that european time and

26
00:01:32,469 --> 00:01:31,280
that's a good compromise uh because we

27
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:32,479
have a bunch of different control

28
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:35,040
centers around the world that that we

29
00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:39,200
interact with in moscow japan the u.s in

30
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:41,920
germany huntsville alabama so being on

31
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:43,280
that greenwich time was probably the

32
00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:46,320
best compromise we could have

33
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:53,109
well right now there are six of us there

34
00:01:58,630 --> 00:01:55,680
are three russian cosmonauts a uh an

35
00:02:00,469 --> 00:01:58,640
astronaut from japan and uh two american

36
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:00,479
astronauts obviously you know one of

37
00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:03,360
those being myself and in two weeks from

38
00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:05,040
today we're going to get three more

39
00:02:10,389 --> 00:02:08,239
people on board a uh another russian a

40
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:10,399
kazakh and uh

41
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:11,599
and a uh

42
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:13,920
first astronaut from denmark so it's uh

43
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:16,800
we're gonna be pretty full here

44
00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:24,390
yeah we get along great um you know this

45
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:26,160
is a international program it's one of

46
00:02:29,910 --> 00:02:28,000
the great things about this uh this

47
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:29,920
space station program is that it was

48
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:31,040
done with a

49
00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:33,599
very strong international partnership

50
00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:35,519
um you know although we have you know

51
00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:37,360
the the u.s what's called the u.s

52
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:40,319
operational segment which uh is the u.s

53
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:42,400
and our other uh international partners

54
00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:44,720
and then the russian segment so we do

55
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:46,720
work uh some of the time independently

56
00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:48,239
but we have you know two of the russian

57
00:02:52,229 --> 00:02:50,080
cosmonauts doing some medical tests here

58
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:52,239
right now in the u.s laboratory module

59
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:54,640
and we share just about any everything

60
00:02:58,710 --> 00:02:56,720
and they're uh you know the cosmonauts

61
00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:58,720
and the other international astronauts

62
00:03:02,830 --> 00:03:01,200
are are great friends and great partners

63
00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:02,840
for

64
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:06,239
us you you've got you're up there 145

65
00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:08,879
days you're going to be up 356. what's

66
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:16,070
you know um

67
00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:18,640
we have a good exercise program up here

68
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:20,159
uh so

69
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:22,959
overall physically uh at least the stuff

70
00:03:28,869 --> 00:03:25,760
i can uh you know i could see and how i

71
00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:28,879
feel is uh is pretty good

72
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:30,480
you know but part of the reason why

73
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:32,400
we're up here for for so long is we're

74
00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:33,840
studying other things the things you

75
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:36,560
can't see like bone loss the effects on

76
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:39,360
uh on our vision the effects of you know

77
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:40,720
in the case of this study with my

78
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:42,319
brother and i the the effects of

79
00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:46,720
radiation on us at a a genetic level so

80
00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:47,760
you know even though i've been up here

81
00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:50,080
for a long time i'll be up here for uh

82
00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:52,159
you know a little while longer i feel

83
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:54,159
good but uh you know there are other

84
00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:56,480
effects that we need to to study as i go

85
00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:58,720
along and uh and continue to study when

86
00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:00,799
i get back

87
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,480
it'll be interesting to check you and

88
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:04,080
your brother out won't it since you're

89
00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:10,309
yeah it's uh you know it's a good

90
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:12,640
opportunity on a kind of an anecdotal

91
00:04:16,150 --> 00:04:14,480
level you know when you only have one

92
00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:16,160
sample group

93
00:04:21,509 --> 00:04:19,040
to get some information on on areas that

94
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:21,519
perhaps need investigating further

95
00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:23,520
you know as identical twins our genetics

96
00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:26,160
are almost identical and there are

97
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:29,199
impacts on us from this uh microgravity

98
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:31,040
environment and the uh the radiation

99
00:04:35,990 --> 00:04:33,280
environment on us at a genetic level so

100
00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:36,000
hopefully we'll learn things uh about

101
00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:38,080
those effects that we can then study

102
00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:40,479
even further

103
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:42,720
are you recently participated in i

104
00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:45,680
understand a new first for space travel

105
00:04:57,510 --> 00:04:54,550
oh the it's a the uh the veggie

106
00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:57,520
experiment was a

107
00:05:02,550 --> 00:04:59,840
an experiment to see how well we could

108
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:02,560
grow food in space and

109
00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:04,800
we'd done that before up here

110
00:05:08,469 --> 00:05:06,560
but in this case we were allowed to eat

111
00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:08,479
some of it so uh

112
00:05:12,070 --> 00:05:10,560
the last time we did it all of the

113
00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:12,080
the vegetables went to the ground and

114
00:05:16,629 --> 00:05:14,320
this time we were allowed to eat uh half

115
00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:16,639
of it and that was great it you know

116
00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:18,160
tasted good it's great to have fresh

117
00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:20,000
vegetables and you know if we want to go

118
00:05:24,150 --> 00:05:21,919
to mars someday and uh you know live and

119
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:24,160
work in places that don't have the type

120
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:25,520
of resupply

121
00:05:31,430 --> 00:05:27,520
we get on the space station we're going

122
00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:33,430
how do experiments that you conduct

123
00:05:42,469 --> 00:05:40,790
so we have uh you know over 400

124
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:42,479
different experiments going on here

125
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:44,080
throughout the year i'm here and some of

126
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:47,120
those are experiments that uh

127
00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:50,080
you know look at ways uh to allow us to

128
00:05:54,469 --> 00:05:52,479
explore further uh from the earth but

129
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,479
some of them do are

130
00:05:58,150 --> 00:05:56,160
probably about 30 percent of them are

131
00:06:00,150 --> 00:05:58,160
are ways to improve life on earth for

132
00:06:02,469 --> 00:06:00,160
instance we recently had a uh

133
00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:02,479
a bunch of rodents uh up here where we

134
00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:05,039
were doing some experiments that were

135
00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:07,680
would be uh potentially uh critical to

136
00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:09,360
designing some new drugs for certain

137
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,360
type of diseases like

138
00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:13,600
you know bone loss and and

139
00:06:16,950 --> 00:06:15,199
muscle wasting

140
00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:16,960
kind of diseases there are some other

141
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:19,120
drugs that have been developed based on

142
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:21,680
space station research uh tomorrow we've

143
00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:24,160
got some combustion experiments going on

144
00:06:28,870 --> 00:06:26,880
in the u.s laboratory module that are

145
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:28,880
looking at ways to improve combustion

146
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:31,120
efficiency

147
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:32,400
you know but i like to think you know

148
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:35,280
the space program and how it's uh you

149
00:06:39,749 --> 00:06:37,440
know allowed us to uh

150
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:39,759
you know improve our ability to uh fly

151
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:42,960
satellites into orbit and uh communicate

152
00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:44,800
with space vehicles if you look at how

153
00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:47,680
we live our lives today uh most of of

154
00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:50,000
what we do from a technology standpoint

155
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:52,479
relies on you know space-based

156
00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:58,309
you recently urged lawmakers to restore

157
00:07:07,189 --> 00:07:00,720
full funding to nasa's commercial crew

158
00:07:10,550 --> 00:07:08,870
well you know

159
00:07:12,469 --> 00:07:10,560
you know it's uh

160
00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:12,479
i guess it's the president's job to you

161
00:07:18,550 --> 00:07:15,360
know offer a budget and and congress uh

162
00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:18,560
approves it or or doesn't or changes it

163
00:07:22,629 --> 00:07:20,160
um

164
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:22,639
you know for for us

165
00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:24,800
we need a certain amount of money to to

166
00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:27,360
fly uh you know these commercial crew

167
00:07:31,749 --> 00:07:29,919
vehicles on a certain schedule and you

168
00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:31,759
know if we don't get the the amount of

169
00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:33,120
money we're asking for we're probably

170
00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:34,160
not going to be able to meet that

171
00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:36,080
schedule which means you know for the

172
00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:37,520
space station program we're going to

173
00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:40,160
have to you know further our contract

174
00:07:45,430 --> 00:07:43,199
with the russians to get crews up here

175
00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:45,440
so i don't know if it'll happen i hope

176
00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:47,280
it happens i hope we get the the money

177
00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:49,599
uh we need so we can

178
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:52,240
you know continue to to build two uh two

179
00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:54,720
vehicles and do it on the schedule that

180
00:07:59,430 --> 00:07:56,720
that we need to support

181
00:08:04,469 --> 00:07:59,440
our exploration goals

182
00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:06,230
you know we work a lot up here we work

183
00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:08,400
probably from uh you know the time we

184
00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:10,160
wake up where we're kind of looking at

185
00:08:13,909 --> 00:08:12,240

okay sounds good

225
00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:41,350
it's a modern space odyssey but this one

226
00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:44,160
in 2015 i'm katie couric welcome to

227
00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:46,240

beat for the coolest instagram feed in

232
00:11:01,750 --> 00:10:59,920
the universe literally he's 145 days

233
00:11:04,150 --> 00:11:01,760
into his record-breaking year in space

234
00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:04,160
mission with nasa and has been keeping

235
00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:06,320
amazing records for us back here on

236
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:09,040
earth check out this rothko s sunset he

237
00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:11,440
tweeted on monday here's the shot he

238
00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:13,279
took of the himalayan mountains looking

239
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:15,839
like funnel cakes and then there's this

240
00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:18,480
breathtaking view of the northern lights

241
00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:24,230
scott is with us now from the

242
00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:26,480
international space station hi scott

243
00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:33,269
hi katie it's uh my pleasure and welcome

244
00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:36,000
aboard the international space station

245
00:11:40,230 --> 00:11:37,760
well thank you very much now i know the

246
00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:40,240
primary purpose of your mission is to

247
00:11:45,590 --> 00:11:42,880
determine the effects a year in space

248
00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:45,600
has on an astronaut like you you've been

249
00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:49,120
there for almost five months so

250
00:11:58,069 --> 00:11:56,389
you know i feel pretty good um you know

251
00:12:00,230 --> 00:11:58,079
five months is a long time to be up here

252
00:12:02,230 --> 00:12:00,240
and i have a long time uh long ways to

253
00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:02,240
go but we have uh great people helping

254
00:12:05,829 --> 00:12:04,160
us take care of ourselves

255
00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:05,839
uh you know those folks on the ground

256
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:07,920
that support us we got good exercise

257
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:09,440
equipment

258
00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:12,160
so as far as you know how i feel i feel

259
00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:13,920
great you know there's certain things we

260
00:12:19,269 --> 00:12:16,720
need to to continue to study and uh you

261
00:12:21,030 --> 00:12:19,279
know results that we won't get until i i

262
00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:21,040
get back on the ground but so far so

263
00:12:24,949 --> 00:12:22,800
good

264
00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:24,959
what do you do all day long scott can

265
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:27,040
you give us sort of a typical day in the

266
00:12:36,389 --> 00:12:34,710
so there's no you know all the days are

267
00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:36,399
different which makes it uh pretty

268
00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:37,680
interesting

269
00:12:41,430 --> 00:12:39,760
we do a lot of science here while i'm

270
00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:41,440
here we'll do over 400 different

271
00:12:44,629 --> 00:12:42,639
experiments

272
00:12:46,870 --> 00:12:44,639
and you know sometimes your days might

273
00:12:48,949 --> 00:12:46,880
be devoted to a lot of science this

274
00:12:51,910 --> 00:12:48,959
morning i was doing an experiment called

275
00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:51,920
spheres that uses these small satellites

276
00:12:56,230 --> 00:12:54,480
and control algorithms that

277
00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:56,240
you know try to understand how to how to

278
00:13:00,389 --> 00:12:59,200
control satellites in space

279
00:13:02,230 --> 00:13:00,399
you know the other crew members are

280
00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:02,240
doing right now the two russian

281
00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:03,920
cosmonauts are doing some medical tests

282
00:13:09,190 --> 00:13:05,600
on their eyes in the u.s laboratory

283
00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:09,200
module sometimes you're fixing things

284
00:13:13,110 --> 00:13:11,440
like maybe the carbon dioxide removal

285
00:13:14,629 --> 00:13:13,120
system is a piece of hardware we had

286
00:13:16,949 --> 00:13:14,639
worked on a few months ago that was

287
00:13:19,829 --> 00:13:16,959
pretty extensive

288
00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:19,839
on monday we have a japanese cargo ship

289
00:13:24,389 --> 00:13:22,240
coming so i'll be grabbing that

290
00:13:26,230 --> 00:13:24,399
so it's a combination of science

291
00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:26,240
maintenance and you know general

292
00:13:31,269 --> 00:13:28,720
housekeeping and then occasionally you

293
00:13:34,069 --> 00:13:31,279
know robotics activities or you know a

294
00:13:36,069 --> 00:13:34,079
spacewalk you might get to do

295
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:36,079
i know that there's six of you up there

296
00:13:41,110 --> 00:13:38,720
so you literally can have your space so

297
00:13:43,269 --> 00:13:41,120
to speak but how are you getting along

298
00:13:47,350 --> 00:13:43,279
how much do you interact with the others

299
00:13:50,790 --> 00:13:49,189
so we we get along great the space

300
00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:50,800
station is you know functionally

301
00:13:55,110 --> 00:13:52,560
separated in two halves there's the

302
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:55,120
russian segment and then there's the u.s

303
00:13:59,110 --> 00:13:56,880
operational segment

304
00:14:00,790 --> 00:13:59,120
which consists of the u.s modules and a

305
00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:00,800
module from uh

306
00:14:05,030 --> 00:14:03,440
from japan which i'm currently in uh and

307
00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:05,040
there's one up there another japanese

308
00:14:09,030 --> 00:14:07,600
module module from uh issa the european

309
00:14:12,389 --> 00:14:09,040
space agency

310
00:14:14,949 --> 00:14:12,399
so in some respects we work in a kind of

311
00:14:17,509 --> 00:14:14,959
a segment segmented way most of the time

312
00:14:19,509 --> 00:14:17,519
we have the us and other partner

313
00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:19,519
astronauts on one side and the russians

314
00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:22,000
on the other but

315
00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:23,760
you know practically speaking we're all

316
00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:26,160
one crew we get along great you know i

317
00:14:29,350 --> 00:14:27,839
don't look at the russian my russian

318
00:14:30,710 --> 00:14:29,360
colleagues really any different than i

319
00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:30,720
do the other

320
00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:32,399
astronauts on board

321
00:14:37,189 --> 00:14:34,720
you know it really is a

322
00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:37,199
mutual uh relationship we have up here

323
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:38,720
and one that's you know based on us

324
00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:40,240
having to trust each other you know we

325
00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:42,000
rely on each other literally for our

326
00:14:45,590 --> 00:14:44,480
lives so it's uh it's really uh you know

327
00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:45,600
one of the great things about this

328
00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:47,279
program

329
00:14:53,430 --> 00:14:49,199
how do they all speak english how do you

330
00:14:57,350 --> 00:14:55,910
uh yeah they uh they speak english we

331
00:14:59,110 --> 00:14:57,360
speak you know they speak some english

332
00:15:00,949 --> 00:14:59,120
they speak some russian generally their

333
00:15:02,790 --> 00:15:00,959
english is better than our russians so

334
00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:02,800
uh most of the time on the space station

335
00:15:07,829 --> 00:15:03,760
we

336
00:15:09,509 --> 00:15:07,839
in the in the soyuz and uh you know

337
00:15:11,670 --> 00:15:09,519
during some

338
00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:11,680
other you know special activities but

339
00:15:16,629 --> 00:15:14,560
most of the time it's english

340
00:15:18,389 --> 00:15:16,639
now tell me about sort of your basic

341
00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:18,399
quality of life like how do you do

342
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:20,959
laundry how what is the food like you're

343
00:15:25,430 --> 00:15:23,120
not still drinking tang and eating

344
00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:25,440
freeze dried food i imagine so what

345
00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:27,920
about sort of the day-to-day kind of

346
00:15:35,269 --> 00:15:33,430
yeah that's a good question so we don't

347
00:15:37,350 --> 00:15:35,279
do laundry because you know that

348
00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:37,360
requires a lot of water and water is at

349
00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:39,920
a premium up here

350
00:15:43,350 --> 00:15:41,680
you know plus it'd be pretty complicated

351
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:43,360
i think to make a space washer although

352
00:15:46,949 --> 00:15:44,720
i guess you can do it

353
00:15:48,230 --> 00:15:46,959
so we generally throw our clothes out i

354
00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:48,240
think i've been wearing these pair of

355
00:15:51,749 --> 00:15:50,160
pants for about two months

356
00:15:54,389 --> 00:15:51,759
um i won't tell you how long i've been

357
00:15:58,470 --> 00:15:54,399
wearing the other things that i'm yeah

358
00:16:00,790 --> 00:15:58,480
thank you so yeah we generally throw

359
00:16:02,069 --> 00:16:00,800
we generally throw our clothes away

360
00:16:04,710 --> 00:16:02,079
our water

361
00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:04,720
is actually made from our urine and

362
00:16:08,710 --> 00:16:06,639
condensate that's taken out of the

363
00:16:10,629 --> 00:16:08,720
atmosphere most of it is

364
00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:10,639
made that way

365
00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:13,040
because water is very uh very valuable

366
00:16:16,870 --> 00:16:15,120
up here and uh you know pretty precious

367
00:16:19,189 --> 00:16:16,880
commodity but the water is very good

368
00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:19,199
quality it's uh probably cleaner than

369
00:16:24,069 --> 00:16:21,440
what comes out of my faucet or maybe

370
00:16:26,230 --> 00:16:24,079
even maybe even your faucet there in the

371
00:16:29,030 --> 00:16:26,240
in the northeast

372
00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:29,040
and then food is a lot like camping food

373
00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:32,160
uh for one you know we we add water to

374
00:16:36,389 --> 00:16:34,880
it which makes it again lighter uh to

375
00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:36,399
fly it into space

376
00:16:41,509 --> 00:16:38,720
and some of it's like the uh military

377
00:16:43,350 --> 00:16:41,519
style mres and you know a little bit of

378
00:16:45,269 --> 00:16:43,360
it's off the shelf but

379
00:16:47,430 --> 00:16:45,279
it's uh you know it's a pretty harsh

380
00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:47,440
environment but we we get used to it

381
00:16:50,790 --> 00:16:48,800
after a while it's amazing what you can

382
00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:50,800
get used to

383
00:16:55,509 --> 00:16:52,800
someone asked on twitter do you

384
00:16:59,829 --> 00:16:55,519
experience more dreams than usual up

385
00:17:02,710 --> 00:17:01,269
you know i was asked about dreaming in

386
00:17:04,949 --> 00:17:02,720
space on my last flight i really

387
00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:04,959
couldn't remember whether i had you know

388
00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:07,280
earth dreams when i was in space or

389
00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:09,839
space dreams so this time i i started

390
00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:11,199
writing them down

391
00:17:15,189 --> 00:17:13,199
and you know what i've noticed although

392
00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:15,199
i i stopped a few months ago because

393
00:17:18,470 --> 00:17:17,199
somewhat of a burden it kind of got me

394
00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:18,480
into a situation where i kind of

395
00:17:21,510 --> 00:17:20,160
remember them more because i was writing

396
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:21,520
them down for a while

397
00:17:26,390 --> 00:17:23,520
and it seems like in the beginning of my

398
00:17:29,909 --> 00:17:26,400
flight the space dreams were rare

399
00:17:31,990 --> 00:17:29,919
and now you know almost 150 days into it

400
00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:32,000
the earth dreams are more of the rare

401
00:17:36,310 --> 00:17:34,240
ones

402
00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:36,320
you i know have been keeping up with the

403
00:17:41,430 --> 00:17:38,960
real world you're very adept at social

404
00:17:43,590 --> 00:17:41,440

00:17:45,909 --> 00:17:43,600

407
00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:48,559
julia louis dreyfus i know tweeted at

408
00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:50,240

409
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:53,200

410
00:17:57,029 --> 00:17:55,200

411
00:17:58,630 --> 00:17:57,039
those questions do you freak out and are

412
00:18:03,510 --> 00:17:58,640

414
00:18:08,789 --> 00:18:07,200
yeah i'm not a freak out kind of guy but

415
00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:08,799
uh that was great to get that question

416
00:18:12,230 --> 00:18:10,559
from the president and and actually all

417
00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:12,240
the questions from uh you know all the

418
00:18:14,549 --> 00:18:13,440
people that are interested in this

419
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:14,559
program

420
00:18:18,549 --> 00:18:16,960
i tried to watch veep

421
00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:18,559
it's kind of i don't really watch many

422
00:18:21,669 --> 00:18:20,480
series up here so i haven't gotten into

423
00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:21,679
it yet

424
00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:23,679
but i hope to i actually like the show i

425
00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:25,840
think it's very well done but haven't

426
00:18:31,029 --> 00:18:29,120
been watching it on a regular basis

427
00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:31,039
i'm a big seinfeld fan so occasionally

428
00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:33,120
we'll watch seinfeld we have uh all the

429
00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:34,640
episodes up here

430
00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:36,480
but uh you know the other stuff we do

431
00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:38,160
for fun is uh

432
00:18:42,630 --> 00:18:40,160
you know like the social media stuff for

433
00:18:44,230 --> 00:18:42,640
me is fun because you get real feedback

434
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:44,240
from the people that are you know

435
00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:45,760
looking at the pictures or listening

436
00:18:50,230 --> 00:18:48,160
what you have to say

437
00:18:53,990 --> 00:18:50,240
we do email talk on the phone read a

438
00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:54,000
little bit so it's uh it's not bad

439
00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:56,160
i know one of the reasons scott you were

440
00:19:00,630 --> 00:18:58,240
picked is because you you have a twin

441
00:19:04,150 --> 00:19:00,640
brother an identical twin brother mark

442
00:19:06,310 --> 00:19:04,160
kelly who of course uh i know as well um

443
00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:06,320
do you ever wish that he was the one up

444
00:19:12,710 --> 00:19:08,160
there and you could be the one back here

445
00:19:18,070 --> 00:19:16,390
um no not really

446
00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:18,080
you know that's not

447
00:19:21,350 --> 00:19:19,679
the type of thing i would i would ever

448
00:19:24,150 --> 00:19:21,360
even think about because it really

449
00:19:26,390 --> 00:19:24,160
wasn't uh you know practical uh you know

450
00:19:27,990 --> 00:19:26,400
his situation was was such that when

451
00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:28,000
this one year of flight came along he

452
00:19:31,190 --> 00:19:29,120
had already

453
00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:31,200
you know he'd already retired from nasa

454
00:19:33,430 --> 00:19:32,480
and uh

455
00:19:34,870 --> 00:19:33,440
so

456
00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:34,880
you know it just wasn't a practical

457
00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:35,760
thing

458
00:19:38,549 --> 00:19:36,720
um

459
00:19:40,549 --> 00:19:38,559
you know i do envy some of the stuff he

460
00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:40,559
gets to do so you know now occasionally

461
00:19:43,830 --> 00:19:42,240
he'll send me a picture of his food or

462
00:19:45,669 --> 00:19:43,840
something and that's uh

463
00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:45,679
you know i at those times when i'm

464
00:19:50,230 --> 00:19:48,320
eating something brown in a bag i envy
