1
00:00:05,110 --> 00:00:03,750
i'll give you a brief introduction uh i

2
00:00:06,950 --> 00:00:05,120
think you know we have a couple of cast

3
00:00:09,669 --> 00:00:06,960
members here from the martian and

4
00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:09,679
sebastian plays uh astronaut and flight

5
00:00:12,789 --> 00:00:11,040
surgeon so

6
00:00:15,509 --> 00:00:12,799
he you know may have some questions for

7
00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:15,519
you uh chris beck is his character

8
00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:17,680
and mackenzie davis plays a flight

9
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:19,840
controller named mindy park

10
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:20,560
and

11
00:00:24,070 --> 00:00:22,240
they've had some interaction with our

12
00:00:25,109 --> 00:00:24,080
employees today we've taken them on a

13
00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:25,119
tour

14
00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:27,199
and i i did want to say scott

15
00:00:31,029 --> 00:00:29,199
congratulations on getting to the midway

16
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:31,039
point of the one year mission we've been

17
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:38,470
hey it's a good talk to you to be able

18
00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:40,160
to talk to you guys today

19
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:41,520
it's interesting for us we're looking

20
00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:42,960
forward to watching a movie thank you

21
00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:46,000
ellen it's uh it's a big milestone but

22
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:47,520
i'm not going to start counting days

23
00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:48,800
down yet i'm going to think i'm going to

24
00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:50,239
wait until march

25
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:52,079
then i'm going to allow myself to to

26
00:00:56,229 --> 00:00:54,399
count how many days i have remaining

27
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:56,239
counting up for the time being

28
00:01:01,029 --> 00:00:57,600
but

29
00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:01,039
great to uh to see you guys there and uh

30
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:02,480
hey if you got any questions for us

31
00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:04,400
about living in space you know this is a

32
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:07,280
great uh great spaceship we're on and uh

33
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:08,799
you know similar to i guess what you

34
00:01:12,149 --> 00:01:09,840
guys were

35
00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:12,159
uh you know telling a story about in

36
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:20,469
i always have more basic human questions

37
00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:21,439
than

38
00:01:25,109 --> 00:01:23,759
technical ones but if you could um have

39
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:25,119
anything right now what would you want

40
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,670
could be food could be a hug

41
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:38,630
my

42
00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:41,520
the ability to to leave here

43
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:43,119
um

44
00:01:47,429 --> 00:01:44,720
you know i think one people

45
00:01:49,749 --> 00:01:47,439
something people don't recognize is that

46
00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:49,759
you know being on the space station

47
00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:50,640
is

48
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:52,479
probably a lot like being in some kind

49
00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:54,560
of uh you know confinement like

50
00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:57,119
isolation you know you can't go outside

51
00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:58,719
even though you can see outside the

52
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:00,799
earth's incredibly beautiful

53
00:02:05,749 --> 00:02:02,880
you know not having the the ability to

54
00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:05,759
leave is a pretty uh

55
00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:06,719
you know

56
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:09,599
an all-present feeling and uh although

57
00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:12,080
i'm not claustrophobic at all uh it

58
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:14,480
would be nice to get outside and i'm not

59
00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:16,000
talking about outside like on a

60
00:02:20,869 --> 00:02:18,800
spacewalk but you know put my feet in

61
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:20,879
the grass and you know feel the wind on

62
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:32,150
tell how are you

63
00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:33,599
so i was just

64
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:34,879
wondering

65
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:37,760
because i guess i was playing uh a

66
00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:40,080
flight surgeon and um

67
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:41,680
my character ended up doing all these

68
00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:43,760
space walks and um

69
00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:45,680
so i guess what i learned is that it's

70
00:02:49,509 --> 00:02:47,840
not so black and white uh obviously what

71
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:49,519
you guys do up there so i was wondering

72
00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:51,680
how many times

73
00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:54,239
do you get to go on on spacewalks on a

74
00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:01,110
it's great well first let me say it's

75
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:03,360
it's great to get to chat with you all

76
00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:06,000
um like scott said we're very excited to

77
00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:08,159
to see the movie and uh i've read the

78
00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:10,000
book a couple of times already and it's

79
00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:10,720
uh

80
00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:12,560
it's neat to see the the people that are

81
00:03:17,589 --> 00:03:15,519
that are picking up these roles um

82
00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:17,599
you know scott and i neither scott's

83
00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:19,120
been in space for

84
00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:22,319
300 days over 300 almost a year now uh

85
00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:24,080
with with all the consecutive time that

86
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:25,920
he's been in space on previous missions

87
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:27,760
and this of course is my first mission

88
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:29,840
i've been up here for about six weeks

89
00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:30,959
but neither of us has had the

90
00:03:35,589 --> 00:03:33,200
opportunity to do a spacewalk yet

91
00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:35,599
but we are currently scheduled to do two

92
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:37,120
we'll do a spacewalk at the end of

93
00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:39,680
october and maybe one in early november

94
00:03:43,270 --> 00:03:41,360
and we're both really looking forward to

95
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,280
that it's i think

96
00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:45,360
an exciting opportunity also a very

97
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:47,280
challenging and technical

98
00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:50,480
type of work that i think we both enjoy

99
00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:52,239
doing that sort of work

100
00:03:57,990 --> 00:03:53,920
you know accepting that type of

101
00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:59,509
the other thing i was going to ask is

102
00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:00,959
one of the things that i actually did

103
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,879
for research uh which was kind of

104
00:04:06,869 --> 00:04:04,080
helpful

105
00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:06,879
was um i i was looking up what you guys

106
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:09,680
do on on your instagrams which is which

107
00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:11,920
is kind of funny from time to time

108
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:14,720
uh to keep up with you guys um but i was

109
00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:15,599
wondering

110
00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:17,359
i know you've got so many things going

111
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:18,799
on up there and you're constantly busy

112
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:21,120
but is there any time at all where you

113
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:23,040
guys get to play pranks on one another

114
00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:32,469
oh we haven't played too many pranks on

115
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:34,880
each other although before we uh started

116
00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:36,320
where did i put it

117
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:38,320
we were playing uh we just made up a new

118
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:40,960
game we found this elastic band and uh

119
00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:43,360
we were guarding the opposite ends of

120
00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:44,400
the uh

121
00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:46,560
the lab here and playing kind of space

122
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:49,440
uh space soccer so uh

123
00:04:53,189 --> 00:04:51,040
that's a that's that was a kind of a

124
00:05:02,550 --> 00:04:53,199
neat game um i don't think we've played

125
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:04,469
sorry so what determines when you get

126
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:06,000
you said you had two spacewalks

127
00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:07,360
scheduled

128
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:09,680
is it for repairs or maintenance or it's

129
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:17,510
no definitely not for a treat and

130
00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:19,680
the the people who determine that are

131
00:05:23,749 --> 00:05:21,680
kind of like you know ellen and the

132
00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:23,759
folks that work for her and the people

133
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:25,360
on the other side of her the flight

134
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:26,720
control team

135
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:28,880
and um you know in some cases we're

136
00:05:34,550 --> 00:05:32,240
fixing stuff that uh that that broke

137
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:34,560
in other cases we're doing uh you know

138
00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:36,080
kind of like upgrades to the space

139
00:05:41,189 --> 00:05:38,400
station we have some uh a bunch of

140
00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:41,199
different tasks uh coming up running

141
00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:43,280
some cables outside for

142
00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:45,600
for future uh hardware that's gonna be

143
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:48,240
on the space station we're

144
00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:50,000
you know fixing a radiator it's not

145
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:52,080
broken but we need to put it back into

146
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:55,360
its original configuration we rewired it

147
00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:56,720
because we thought it had a leak at one

148
00:06:01,350 --> 00:05:59,759
time so stuff like that um

149
00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:01,360
you know the space walk just takes so

150
00:06:05,590 --> 00:06:03,759
much work to get ready to do

151
00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:05,600
the suits are very complicated the

152
00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:08,240
procedures are very complicated

153
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:10,720
it's going to take you know us a couple

154
00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:12,800
of weeks to get ready to do it

155
00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:15,199
the ground much much more time in the

156
00:06:19,189 --> 00:06:17,600
planning and preparation for them so

157
00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:19,199
it's not something that we can just do

158
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:22,400
at uh at a moment's notice although if

159
00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:24,560
there was an emergency kind of repair we

160
00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:26,080
needed to do on the outside we could

161
00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:27,759
probably pull it off within a few days

162
00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:36,390
i know you guys said you were gonna

163
00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:38,960
watch the the mooc both uh

164
00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:40,960
decided for you to see

165
00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:41,919
um

166
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:43,680
but uh where where are you gonna watch

167
00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:55,990
can you hear me

168
00:07:01,110 --> 00:06:57,120
yeah

169
00:07:03,830 --> 00:07:01,120
and uh and if so do you guys we lost

170
00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:03,840
you got me okay uh and if so do you get

171
00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:13,189
i uh we we lost part of your question

172
00:07:17,350 --> 00:07:15,280
but i think you're asking basically how

173
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:17,360
do we wash things up here and and what

174
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:20,000
do we have to watch um

175
00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:21,680
we used to just be able to watch things

176
00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:24,000
on on the laptops and so we would gather

177
00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:26,000
when we were having dinner on a friday

178
00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:27,039
night we'd gather the whole crew

179
00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:28,400
together and we'd be kind of huddled

180
00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:32,639
around a laptop to to watch a movie um

181
00:07:36,710 --> 00:07:34,800
very recently we had a projector sent up

182
00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:36,720
that helps us with our training but we

183
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:39,599
can also utilize uh to watch movies and

184
00:07:42,790 --> 00:07:41,680
so we have a large screen that will pull

185
00:07:44,950 --> 00:07:42,800
out and

186
00:07:46,629 --> 00:07:44,960
it's uh about the half the size of a

187
00:07:48,309 --> 00:07:46,639
hatch and will point the projector at it

188
00:07:50,550 --> 00:07:48,319
and so it's our it's our kind of a

189
00:07:52,309 --> 00:07:50,560
friday night treat to watch a movie

190
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:52,319
together as a crew

191
00:07:56,869 --> 00:07:54,720
and we're very fortunate in uh that

192
00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:56,879
frequently we have

193
00:08:00,790 --> 00:07:58,720
we work with the studios and they'll

194
00:08:01,990 --> 00:08:00,800
send up fairly recent movies uh that we

195
00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:02,000
get to watch and we have a fairly

196
00:08:05,589 --> 00:08:04,000
extensive library of

197
00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:05,599
space movies and action movies and

198
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:08,960
comedies that we like to watch as well

199
00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:11,919
i watched hot tub time machine too a few

200
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:14,400
weeks ago

201
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,710
that was probably a good thing

202
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,629
yes you're right

203
00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:28,469
like do you think that um after you

204
00:08:33,509 --> 00:08:31,440
return when in april that you'll go back

205
00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:33,519
up to space again or is this your last

206
00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:40,389
you know i i i like you know going to

207
00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:43,120
space i enjoy the mission i uh you know

208
00:08:47,829 --> 00:08:45,519
enjoy the challenge i'd like to have the

209
00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:47,839
opportunity to do it again but you know

210
00:08:51,829 --> 00:08:48,720
i'll

211
00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:51,839
at that point have uh well over 500 days

212
00:08:55,750 --> 00:08:54,160
in space and i think my colleagues

213
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:55,760
probably wouldn't appreciate it too much

214
00:09:05,829 --> 00:08:57,839
if i was going up here again but you

215
00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:07,110
what's the first thing you're going to

216
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:25,670
probably a salad

217
00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:27,269
i'll ask you guys a question that we get

218
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:28,720
asked a lot

219
00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:29,760
um

220
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:32,480
uh having read the martian how

221
00:09:35,750 --> 00:09:34,000
well do you think you could survive by

222
00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:35,760
yourself on mars in the same

223
00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:43,590
i read the martian about a year ago and

224
00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:45,680
then actually just reread it this past

225
00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:47,519
summer

226
00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:49,519
i mean it's a tremendous story and i

227
00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:51,120
think one of the things that really

228
00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:52,480
appeals to me is

229
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:55,120
how i think technically

230
00:09:58,710 --> 00:09:56,640
accurate

231
00:10:00,790 --> 00:09:58,720
even though it's set in the future still

232
00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:00,800
that it seems like

233
00:10:04,790 --> 00:10:02,320
really tried to

234
00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:04,800
to make you accurate as possible and and

235
00:10:11,030 --> 00:10:06,720
uh

236
00:10:12,790 --> 00:10:11,040
have the know-how to

237
00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:12,800
macgyver all of the the different

238
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:15,360
systems to you know scrub carbon dioxide

239
00:10:19,430 --> 00:10:16,800
and create oxygen and do all of the

240
00:10:20,949 --> 00:10:19,440
things that uh the main character

241
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:20,959
watney does in the book

242
00:10:26,949 --> 00:10:24,720
um but i think it does really speak to

243
00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:26,959
the mission that we in the astronauts

244
00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:28,800
that we send to mars you know right now

245
00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:30,800
on the space station we have a

246
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:33,120
tremendous support from the ground

247
00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:35,680
we have a logistics chain with cargo

248
00:10:40,630 --> 00:10:37,360
vehicles that are coming up every few

249
00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:40,640
months that bring supplies and food and

250
00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:42,720
all sorts of cargo up to us and when we

251
00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:44,640
have that mission to mars the astronauts

252
00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:46,640
that go there are going to have to have

253
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:49,760
that depth of knowledge and expertise to

254
00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:51,760
be able to fix

255
00:10:54,550 --> 00:10:52,880
systems

256
00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:54,560
to have somebody that can you know

257
00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:56,640
that's a physician maybe that can help

258
00:10:59,509 --> 00:10:58,480
if anybody gets ill

259
00:11:01,269 --> 00:10:59,519
there's going to have to be a lot of

260
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:01,279
cross training and a lot of

261
00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:13,430
hey well well you know to add to what

262
00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:14,720
what uh

263
00:11:17,829 --> 00:11:16,240
shell mentioned you know a lot of the

264
00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:17,839
the systems we have up here are

265
00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:19,440
something that we're going to use

266
00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:22,000
someday and and build upon them to to go

267
00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:23,680
to mars it's uh

268
00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:26,160
really an amazing uh space station we

269
00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:27,279
have here

270
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:29,600
and the sustainable energy if you want

271
00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:31,600
to call it that that we that we use to

272
00:11:36,870 --> 00:11:33,600
survive and we have these huge solar

273
00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:36,880
arrays outside they make electricity

274
00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:39,760
we take our urine and we turn it into

275
00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:40,640
water

276
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:42,480
obviously using the electricity to run

277
00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:44,880
the hardware to do that

278
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:46,320
from that water

279
00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:49,040
we make we make oxygen

280
00:11:52,230 --> 00:11:50,800
we also you know have a system that

281
00:11:54,870 --> 00:11:52,240
scrubs the

282
00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:54,880
carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere

283
00:11:58,389 --> 00:11:56,240
and it uh

284
00:11:59,750 --> 00:11:58,399
you know those those two systems that

285
00:12:01,350 --> 00:11:59,760
that

286
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:01,360
you know make the oxygen and scrub the

287
00:12:06,069 --> 00:12:03,680
carbon dioxide then combine

288
00:12:07,670 --> 00:12:06,079
in another system to make more water and

289
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:07,680
it's uh you know it's almost a

290
00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:09,360
closed-loop system occasionally we have

291
00:12:12,389 --> 00:12:11,440
to add water to it we get energy from

292
00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:12,399
the sun

293
00:12:16,470 --> 00:12:14,880
but it's uh you know really a uh you

294
00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:16,480
know state-of-the-art

295
00:12:19,430 --> 00:12:18,399
you know renewable energy system that

296
00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:19,440
someday

297
00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:22,000
uh we're gonna take to mars or a version

298
00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:24,320
of it you know recently we've grown uh

299
00:12:29,430 --> 00:12:26,720
lettuce on board so we have the ability

300
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:29,440
to you know use the resources to produce

301
00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:31,680
food and uh you know hopefully we'll

302
00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:33,920
learn enough from that to where

303
00:12:37,509 --> 00:12:35,519
you know when we do go to mars we'll be

304
00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:37,519
able to grow our own food because you

305
00:12:42,310 --> 00:12:40,240
know the the resupply chain is going to

306
00:12:44,470 --> 00:12:42,320
be very far away from us uh you know

307
00:12:50,069 --> 00:12:44,480
when we get there

308
00:12:54,069 --> 00:12:52,150
so we had these uh you know we don't

309
00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:54,079
have dirt but we had these like pads

310
00:12:59,030 --> 00:12:56,560
that had some uh um

311
00:13:00,790 --> 00:12:59,040
uh food in them like basically and then

312
00:13:03,590 --> 00:13:00,800
we uh

313
00:13:06,389 --> 00:13:03,600
you know kind of like i guess a uh

314
00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:06,399
hydroponic almost system

315
00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:08,959
that you know we had some uh

316
00:13:15,190 --> 00:13:11,600
led lights and we added water to the

317
00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:15,200
seeds and it and it grew very well and

318
00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:18,160
uh it was actually uh you know not only

319
00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:20,240
did we enjoy eating it because it tasted

320
00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:22,079
good but it was uh you know good

321
00:13:27,269 --> 00:13:25,680
nutrition and also uh you know gave us a

322
00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:27,279
you know a little bit of satisfaction

323
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:29,120
from growing our own food and watching

324
00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:31,040
it grow and seeing some

325
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:33,360
some green on board which is a kind of

326
00:13:45,829 --> 00:13:39,269
it's good to be able to achieve

327
00:13:48,629 --> 00:13:46,870
talking to

328
00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:48,639
hopper down here he was telling us how

329
00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:50,639
uh at certain points and times

330
00:13:55,430 --> 00:13:52,880
uh you guys had

331
00:13:58,069 --> 00:13:55,440
mice up there or spiders or

332
00:13:59,990 --> 00:13:58,079
just uh other living things with you

333
00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:00,000
like ants do you do you currently have

334
00:14:10,629 --> 00:14:06,710
no we don't uh

335
00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:10,639
yeah we didn't uh get any mice on the

336
00:14:15,670 --> 00:14:11,920
htv

337
00:14:17,509 --> 00:14:15,680
japanese vehicle and uh we we

338
00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:17,519
you know used our mice that we had on

339
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:20,160
board earlier uh for

340
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:22,639
the last research it's quite possibly we

341
00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:24,240
might have some uh

342
00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:26,320
might be a jaxa experiment that has some

343
00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:28,880
living organisms some uh

344
00:14:33,910 --> 00:14:31,920
i know we had some uh worms recently

345
00:14:35,110 --> 00:14:33,920
uh you know microscopic kind of worms

346
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:35,120
i'm not sure if they're still live we

347
00:14:39,430 --> 00:14:37,120
got over 400 different experiments going

348
00:14:41,030 --> 00:14:39,440
on up here throughout the year i'm here

349
00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:41,040
some of which we're very involved in

350
00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:43,440
some of which are kind of self-contained

351
00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:45,440
that you know they turn it on and it

352
00:14:48,949 --> 00:14:46,880
kind of does their own thing and they

353
00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:48,959
fly the samples to the ground or analyze

354
00:14:54,629 --> 00:14:52,240
the data on the ground but

355
00:14:59,189 --> 00:14:54,639
you know right now no no significant

356
00:15:02,150 --> 00:14:59,199
living things other than the six of us

357
00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:02,160
is there uh is there a part um

358
00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:04,160
of the earth that you when you guys pass

359
00:15:08,230 --> 00:15:06,800
over it every time like a country or a

360
00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:08,240
continent or something that looks

361
00:15:11,269 --> 00:15:10,079
striking to you that that you look at it

362
00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:11,279
you go you know what i'm going to go

363
00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:19,509
i think that's one of the

364
00:15:23,030 --> 00:15:20,880
obviously one of the real neat things

365
00:15:24,310 --> 00:15:23,040
about being up here is

366
00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:24,320
just over the course of the day you look

367
00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:26,160
down through the window and you can see

368
00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:28,160
different parts of the earth australia

369
00:15:31,749 --> 00:15:29,600
is very striking

370
00:15:32,870 --> 00:15:31,759
the colors the reds and yellows and

371
00:15:33,990 --> 00:15:32,880
browns

372
00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:34,000
so you always know when you're flying

373
00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:38,310
africa also

374
00:15:40,629 --> 00:15:39,600
you can you can tell when you look out

375
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:40,639
the window

376
00:15:45,590 --> 00:15:43,519
and uh i always enjoy flying over

377
00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:45,600
the us and flying over places where i've

378
00:15:50,710 --> 00:15:47,680
lived and where i have friends

379
00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:50,720
um and kind of wave and and recognize

380
00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:53,040
that uh have friends and family uh below

381
00:15:55,990 --> 00:15:54,320
one of the real striking things about

382
00:15:58,550 --> 00:15:56,000
flying over the earth though is when you

383
00:15:59,829 --> 00:15:58,560
look outside almost invariably it's blue

384
00:16:02,629 --> 00:15:59,839
and white

385
00:16:03,910 --> 00:16:02,639
just how much water covers the earth and

386
00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:03,920
and the clouds

387
00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:06,160
always changing always beautiful

388
00:16:10,629 --> 00:16:08,480
it's very very striking um when you look

389
00:16:13,189 --> 00:16:10,639
outside

390
00:16:14,949 --> 00:16:13,199
and and just to add to what chelsea i

391
00:16:17,269 --> 00:16:14,959
always find it fascinating that the

392
00:16:19,590 --> 00:16:17,279
places that are the most appealing you

393
00:16:22,550 --> 00:16:19,600
know aesthetically on the earth are the

394
00:16:25,030 --> 00:16:22,560
places that are generally harder to live

395
00:16:27,749 --> 00:16:25,040
like you know the water you know uh you

396
00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:27,759
know reefs the bahamas things like that

397
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:30,480
and deserts are incredibly beautiful

398
00:16:32,470 --> 00:16:31,600
um

399
00:16:34,389 --> 00:16:32,480
where

400
00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:34,399
you know the areas that have a lot of

401
00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:36,480
forestation and and

402
00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:38,399
you know north america europe things

403
00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:40,800
like that asia where a lot of the people

404
00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:43,600
live don't look as as beautiful as some

405
00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:46,320
of these places that are less uh

406
00:16:53,189 --> 00:16:48,800
you know less easy to survive in

407
00:16:57,749 --> 00:16:55,269
well we we hope you uh

408
00:17:02,550 --> 00:16:57,759
you enjoy uh the mars that ridley scott

409
00:17:06,789 --> 00:17:04,549
and and i suppose uh finally you don't

410
00:17:09,510 --> 00:17:06,799
you don't get very tired of doing those

411
00:17:11,350 --> 00:17:09,520
flips uh i suppose

412
00:17:16,829 --> 00:17:11,360
is it just something you keep you keep

413
00:17:22,949 --> 00:17:20,549
can you know yeah

414
00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:22,959
we're pretty busy working so we don't uh

415
00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:25,439
you know do that kind of stuff too much

416
00:17:28,950 --> 00:17:27,520
but uh i tell you you definitely get

417
00:17:31,430 --> 00:17:28,960
better at it the longer you've been up

418
00:17:32,710 --> 00:17:31,440
here i can do a pretty mean flip now

419
00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:32,720
after

420
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:35,120
being up here for

421
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:45,110
and i'm getting better at it

422
00:17:45,120 --> 00:18:01,510
can we see yours please

423
00:18:08,390 --> 00:18:03,669
so that was great i know i went for the

424
00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:10,150
oh yeah he did hook his feet into that

425
00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:12,480
pole on the bottom but that was really

426
00:18:26,310 --> 00:18:21,669
have you ever gotten lost in the space

427
00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:28,950
you know that's a it's a funny question

428
00:18:31,590 --> 00:18:30,240
it's a fairly

429
00:18:34,470 --> 00:18:31,600
small

430
00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:34,480
you know habitable volume so we have

431
00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:36,400
about to the interior volume of a

432
00:18:42,390 --> 00:18:39,600
five-bedroom house at this point um

433
00:18:44,070 --> 00:18:42,400
what's interesting though is uh

434
00:18:45,510 --> 00:18:44,080
you really kind of pay attention to how

435
00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:45,520
perception changes when you're up here

436
00:18:48,870 --> 00:18:47,280
on the space station and so things are

437
00:18:50,789 --> 00:18:48,880
built so that this is kind of up and

438
00:18:53,830 --> 00:18:50,799
this is down the lights are

439
00:18:55,029 --> 00:18:53,840
on the upper surfaces and

440
00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:55,039
and so you really kind of orient

441
00:18:59,110 --> 00:18:56,480
yourself in this position over the

442
00:19:01,029 --> 00:18:59,120
course of the day but uh

443
00:19:02,950 --> 00:19:01,039
if you find when things are dark and if

444
00:19:05,669 --> 00:19:02,960
you kind of turn yourself upside down it

445
00:19:10,710 --> 00:19:05,679
is it actually is fairly easy to

446
00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:10,720
get uh very disoriented and and uh maybe

447
00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:12,320
lose your way a little bit there was one

448
00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:15,520
evening where i went into the cupola

449
00:19:19,350 --> 00:19:17,360
and where it's very

450
00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:19,360
um when it was very dark outside and the

451
00:19:22,310 --> 00:19:20,880
cupola is our seven bay window that

452
00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:22,320
looks down towards the earth and i was

453
00:19:26,549 --> 00:19:24,080
remarking to myself wow it is very

454
00:19:28,549 --> 00:19:26,559
really really dark i can't uh i can't

455
00:19:30,150 --> 00:19:28,559
see the earth i can't even find the

456
00:19:31,510 --> 00:19:30,160
handles to hold on to

457
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:31,520
um and then i discovered that i was

458
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:33,600
actually in uh one of our logistics

459
00:19:36,390 --> 00:19:35,520
modules and i wasn't in the cupola at

460
00:19:37,830 --> 00:19:36,400
all

461
00:19:39,909 --> 00:19:37,840
so uh

462
00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:39,919
so if it's dark and you're disoriented

463
00:19:45,590 --> 00:19:43,520
uh it's possible to get lost

464
00:19:46,710 --> 00:19:45,600
i've gotten lost in my crew quarters

465
00:19:48,470 --> 00:19:46,720
when you

466
00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:48,480
have an alarm that wakes you up in the

467
00:19:52,310 --> 00:19:50,320
middle of the night and the lights are

468
00:19:54,549 --> 00:19:52,320
out you can't find the door because you

469
00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:54,559
can you think you're completely upside

470
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:05,270
what are your two watches for

471
00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:07,270
well one's to tell time

472
00:20:11,590 --> 00:20:09,440
and it's got some fancy alarms and the

473
00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:11,600
other one's a sleep study

474
00:20:13,350 --> 00:20:12,320
that

475
00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:13,360
measures

476
00:20:19,270 --> 00:20:16,080
how much light and

477
00:20:21,110 --> 00:20:19,280
acceleration so it you know can tell

478
00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:21,120
sort of when you're sleeping

479
00:20:42,310 --> 00:20:22,480
and

480
00:20:44,070 --> 00:20:42,320
children down there so it's just waving

481
00:20:49,909 --> 00:20:44,080
to them and i think they're probably

482
00:20:49,919 --> 00:20:53,830
hey daddy

00:20:59,669 --> 00:20:55,990
