1 00:00:05,349 --> 00:00:03,189 we're now going to outer space 2 00:00:07,510 --> 00:00:05,359 last march rosanna scott kelly from new 3 00:00:10,390 --> 00:00:07,520 jersey nasa astronaut blasted off with 4 00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:10,400 his cosmonaut friend mikhail destination 5 00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:12,960 the international space station scott 6 00:00:17,510 --> 00:00:15,120 and mikhail are in that international 7 00:00:21,189 --> 00:00:17,520 space station for a year wow they're not 8 00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:21,199 getting back until uh early 2016. 9 00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:23,680 isn't that wild scott by the way again 10 00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:25,680 is from new jersey orange new jersey his 11 00:00:29,750 --> 00:00:28,080 twin brother mark is also an astronaut 12 00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:29,760 but let's go right to the international 13 00:00:34,150 --> 00:00:31,760 space station right now can we tune them 14 00:00:35,510 --> 00:00:34,160 in there they are welcome to good day 15 00:00:38,869 --> 00:00:35,520 new york gentlemen how is it going up 16 00:00:47,350 --> 00:00:40,790 oh it's going great welcome aboard the 17 00:00:51,189 --> 00:00:49,270 fantastic what are you guys doing today 18 00:00:53,189 --> 00:00:51,199 what's on the agenda just so you know 19 00:00:54,549 --> 00:00:53,199 there is a little delay of course 20 00:00:56,069 --> 00:00:54,559 there's a little delay talking to you 21 00:01:00,069 --> 00:00:56,079 because you're in outer space and we're 22 00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:01,430 yeah there's always a little bit of a 23 00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:03,680 calm delay this uh signal has to bounce 24 00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:05,840 off a bunch of different satellites but 25 00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:07,760 we have nine crew members on board right 26 00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:08,560 now 27 00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:11,280 which is a lot for the space station and 28 00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:12,880 from five different countries and we're 29 00:01:17,030 --> 00:01:14,400 doing all different kinds of uh 30 00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:17,040 scientific research i'm doing uh getting 31 00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:19,840 the japanese airlock ready to deploy 32 00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:22,400 some small satellites here in the next 33 00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:23,600 week or so 34 00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:24,880 how about this gonna ask you another 35 00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:26,880 question why a year that's a very long 36 00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:28,159 time you've been up there about five 37 00:01:32,469 --> 00:01:30,560 months so far why a year and while 38 00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:32,479 you're answering would you mind maybe 39 00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:34,880 giving us a demonstration of 40 00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:36,479 weightlessness in the international 41 00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:38,960 space station maybe floating around and 42 00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:50,149 so the reason we're going to do this 43 00:01:56,789 --> 00:01:54,640 for a whole year is that 44 00:01:59,749 --> 00:01:56,799 is that this space station has some 45 00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:59,759 incredible scientific uh capability and 46 00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:01,439 even though we've flown people in space 47 00:02:06,069 --> 00:02:04,399 for a year before um and that was you 48 00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:06,079 know a long time ago on the mir space 49 00:02:09,109 --> 00:02:07,119 station 50 00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:09,119 uh the technology has just improved so 51 00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:11,360 much with imaging capability and uh you 52 00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:13,440 know dna that whole discipline didn't 53 00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:15,520 even exist that there are things we can 54 00:02:19,750 --> 00:02:17,920 learn here that will help us travel 55 00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:19,760 further and further away from space go 56 00:02:24,869 --> 00:02:22,720 to mars someday so you know our previous 57 00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:24,879 experience on this space station has 58 00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:26,879 been six months and eventually when we 59 00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:28,879 go to mars it's going to take much more 60 00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:30,560 much longer than a year so having a 61 00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:32,160 space station with the type of 62 00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:34,879 capability on it really helps pave our 63 00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:36,959 way to uh for our journey to mars 64 00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:45,509 hey scott do you ever get nauseous and 65 00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:48,080 outer space i mean not having gravity 66 00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:50,400 moving around turning upside down all 67 00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:51,680 the time 68 00:02:59,589 --> 00:02:53,920 how do and being in small quarter 69 00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:01,350 you know it's uh it's surprising what 70 00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:03,040 you can get used to you know we're 71 00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:04,959 falling around the earth we're in free 72 00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:06,480 fall so it's kind of like when you're on 73 00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:08,879 the top of a roller coaster and you feel 74 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,800 everything in your stomach kind of go up 75 00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:12,640 a little bit and you're flowed out of 76 00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:14,480 your seat and that's what we're doing 77 00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:16,400 all the time but 78 00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:18,480 you know you just get used to it um i 79 00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:20,879 don't feel nauseous now some people feel 80 00:03:25,190 --> 00:03:23,280 sick in the beginning um 81 00:03:26,869 --> 00:03:25,200 but uh you know they eventually adapt 82 00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:26,879 even if they're uh you know some maybe 83 00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:28,400 we have people throwing up here up here 84 00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:29,760 sometimes when they first get up here 85 00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:31,519 but they get used to it 86 00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:32,560 eventually 87 00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:34,879 and as far as the close quarters you 88 00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:38,560 know the space station's pretty big 89 00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:39,680 so 90 00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:42,560 although i never feel like 91 00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:44,319 i'm kind of 92 00:03:48,309 --> 00:03:46,480 would like more room 93 00:03:50,229 --> 00:03:48,319 it is still very clear that you didn't 94 00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:50,239 never get to leave you can't go outside 95 00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:52,239 so that's something that's very very 96 00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:01,190 well listen we wish you a very safe 97 00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:02,799 journey up how fast are you going right 98 00:04:06,949 --> 00:04:05,040 now and what are you over and if misha 99 00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:06,959 can do a another somersault that would 100 00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:09,519 be really cool um scott if you can 101 00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:10,640 answer that question we'd love to see 102 00:04:21,749 --> 00:04:19,749 yeah we're going 17 500 miles an hour 103 00:04:27,749 --> 00:04:21,759 and i have no idea what part of the 104 00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:29,749 gotcha hey and when do you wear the 105 00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:31,680 spacesuits by the way i see them right 106 00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:37,510 yeah one of my colleagues and i uh chell 107 00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:40,080 lindgren uh we're gonna do a space walk 108 00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:42,479 actually we're gonna do two um 109 00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:44,880 at the end of uh october and then in the 110 00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:46,880 beginning of november 111 00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:48,560 spread out by a little a little bit over 112 00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:50,720 a week and those are the first two we 113 00:05:01,590 --> 00:04:59,189 looks like you're over africa at this 114 00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:01,600 point scott and by the way we love the 115 00:05:05,909 --> 00:05:04,080 boy it's uh it's casual up there you 116 00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:05,919 guys are wearing polo shirts and khakis 117 00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:07,280 it looks like 118 00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:08,320 you don't have to wear the big 119 00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:10,080 spacesuits every day and you don't have 120 00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:11,759 the uh the flight suits either you can 121 00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:14,320 kind of just uh chill up there the the 122 00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:21,510 yeah it's uh you know it's pretty 123 00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:23,680 comfortable uh environment we have up 124 00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:25,680 here although it's uh 125 00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:28,160 you know it's a pretty rustic living 126 00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:29,840 with regards to having the ability to 127 00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:32,720 take a shower and things like that so uh 128 00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:34,240 it's uh it's sort of a little bit like 129 00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:43,110 um also we we wanted to kind of be in 130 00:05:46,790 --> 00:05:45,280 sync with you today so we got some ice 131 00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:46,800 cream from the intrepid right it's 132 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:48,080 astronaut ice cream they call it 133 00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:49,600 astronaut ice cream and as we look at 134 00:05:54,150 --> 00:05:52,080 this scott i'd like to i'd love to know 135 00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:54,160 from you too mikhail how's the food up 136 00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:00,309 you know the food's pretty good i was 137 00:06:05,189 --> 00:06:03,120 listening to your show about the sodium 138 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:05,199 reductions that you're talking about in 139 00:06:09,029 --> 00:06:07,440 new york city in the diet and we we 140 00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:09,039 actually went through that where we kind 141 00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:10,720 of scrubbed our whole menu because there 142 00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:13,199 was a lot of sodium on board 143 00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:16,080 so we we had a big reduction in the the 144 00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:17,840 amount of salt content 145 00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:20,000 you know it's obviously you know salt 146 00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:22,160 affects the taste and uh but it's 147 00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:24,080 surprising what you get used to so 148 00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:26,960 initially with the less salt uh you 149 00:06:30,150 --> 00:06:28,479 don't really like it but you actually 150 00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:30,160 after a while you kind of get used to it 151 00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:32,560 and i hope people uh you know that are 152 00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:34,880 looking at adjusting the salt intake 153 00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:35,919 there 154 00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:45,430 scott kelly a hero mikhail a hero thank 155 00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:47,039 you both for being with us sorry about 156 00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:48,720 the delay there but you are in outer 157 00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:51,280 space it makes sense safe travels and 158 00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:53,360 we'll see you next year 159 00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:55,599 take care thank you and they were
