1
00:00:10,070 --> 00:00:07,749
he has spent more time in space than any

2
00:00:12,470 --> 00:00:10,080
other american and now he's talking to

3
00:00:14,629 --> 00:00:12,480
us from the international space station

4
00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:14,639
joining us right now is expedition 45

5
00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:17,680
commander scott kelly commander

6
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:20,160
a year in space is what you're going to

7
00:00:23,509 --> 00:00:21,600
wind up spending

8
00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:23,519
who did you hack off to get that

9
00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:30,470
though while there was a long list but

10
00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:33,360
uh actually um to be honest with you

11
00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:34,800
there were a lot of people in our office

12
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:37,360
that that wanted to do this it's uh you

13
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:40,320
know it's an honor to be the first

14
00:00:43,750 --> 00:00:42,160
american to spend this amount of time in

15
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:43,760
space and it's

16
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:45,680
you know a challenge and i look at it as

17
00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:52,310
absolutely commander what do you hope to

18
00:00:58,709 --> 00:00:53,680
accomplish

19
00:01:03,189 --> 00:01:01,990
well you know on nasa's horizon uh

20
00:01:04,710 --> 00:01:03,199
hopefully

21
00:01:06,789 --> 00:01:04,720
not in the uh

22
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:06,799
too far distant future is a journey to

23
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:08,320
mars and

24
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:10,400
there are still things we need to know

25
00:01:15,190 --> 00:01:12,960
about spending

26
00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:15,200
the amount of time in space that it will

27
00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:17,439
take to get to mars and

28
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:19,520
you know safely get back to earth and

29
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:21,600
the space station you know while we have

30
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:22,880
it is a

31
00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:24,960
incredible

32
00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:27,119
opportunity to learn those things with

33
00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:29,759
regards to you know mostly in this year

34
00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:31,680
with regards to our health and the

35
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:33,600
negative effects that this environment

36
00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:35,520
can have in our health and how to

37
00:01:40,069 --> 00:01:37,759
mitigate those effects so

38
00:01:42,149 --> 00:01:40,079
it's uh you know it's a great uh

39
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:42,159
laboratory we have and a great chance to

40
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:43,680
learn those things we need to know to go

41
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:49,190
sure of course commander

42
00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:50,560
your

43
00:01:54,789 --> 00:01:51,840
brother

44
00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:54,799
is mark kelly is an identical twin of

45
00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:55,920
yours

46
00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:58,000
are they going to be are you essentially

47
00:02:02,550 --> 00:01:59,600
a human guinea pig they're trying to

48
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:02,560
figure out if one guy spends a year in

49
00:02:06,149 --> 00:02:03,600
space

50
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:06,159
how will that impact his body as opposed

51
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:07,520
to the guy

52
00:02:16,869 --> 00:02:14,790
well in some

53
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:16,879
at some level all astronauts and

54
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:20,160
cosmonauts are human guinea pigs in that

55
00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:23,599
we participate in a human research

56
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:26,720
program that we are the subjects and

57
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:28,640
with regards to my brother and i

58
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:30,640
it was a good opportunity

59
00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:32,720
once i was assigned to this flight for

60
00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:34,560
nasa to use him

61
00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:38,160
as a ground-based control uh subject uh

62
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:40,400
for some of the experiments we had data

63
00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:42,400
on him for a very long time and he's you

64
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:43,920
know familiar with the

65
00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:45,040
the uh

66
00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:46,640
you know the program and how we do

67
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:48,959
things so it was a great opportunity to

68
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:50,720
learn some extra things on this flight

69
00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:53,360
that we wouldn't have necessarily had

70
00:03:01,990 --> 00:02:56,640
had we not had somebody that was a a

71
00:03:05,589 --> 00:03:03,270
commander

72
00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:05,599
first of all tell us where you are in

73
00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:07,760
the international space station right

74
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:09,280
now i mean it

75
00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:11,120
you got wires everywhere it looks kind

76
00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:13,440
of like just a

77
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:14,959
part of an airplane or something like

78
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:17,280
that but you're how far in space how

79
00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:18,959
fast are you going and where are you

80
00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:24,789
yeah so i am in the

81
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:27,599
u.s destiny laboratory module it's kind

82
00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:29,440
of the main

83
00:03:34,309 --> 00:03:31,519
primary module for the u.s segment of

84
00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:34,319
the space station it's a part laboratory

85
00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:35,760
part like you know

86
00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:37,120
bridge of the

87
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:40,319
starship enterprise in a in a small way

88
00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:43,360
and uh we are you know 250 miles above

89
00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:46,799
the surface of the earth traveling at 17

90
00:03:52,789 --> 00:03:49,519
500 miles an hour and we are currently

91
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:52,799
over australia and it is night time and

92
00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:55,760
in about 45 minutes we'll be or less

93
00:04:01,350 --> 00:03:57,519
than 45 minutes we'll be flying over the

94
00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:03,910
that is so cool commander i you're kind

95
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:07,120
of floating around if you are weightless

96
00:04:14,070 --> 00:04:08,720
right now

97
00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:15,190
done

98
00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:17,359
i love that

99
00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:19,840
i want to be able to do that

100
00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:21,600
what sort of training does somebody have

101
00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:24,560
to go through to be an astronaut on the

102
00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:25,919
international space station there are a

103
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:28,000
lot of kids who still dream of growing

104
00:04:35,189 --> 00:04:30,400
up and and being in your in your shoes

105
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:36,790
well you know we have a a lot of

106
00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:40,000
training once we uh get selected and uh

107
00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:41,440
you know it's several years and then

108
00:04:44,950 --> 00:04:43,759
there's uh flight specific training

109
00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:44,960
that's another

110
00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:47,680
you know two to three years but uh you

111
00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:49,440
know i look at it as

112
00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:51,520
i basically started training for this

113
00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:53,360
job when i started going to school and

114
00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:55,120
everything i've learned and

115
00:05:00,310 --> 00:04:56,960
you know all my experiences especially

116
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:00,320
as i got older in the in the navy

117
00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:02,479
operational type experiences are very

118
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:04,160
important to working in this environment

119
00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:06,400
so you know what i tell kids is it's

120
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:08,320
very important for them to focus on

121
00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:10,800
their education and then focus on kind

122
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:12,639
of broadening their

123
00:05:16,469 --> 00:05:14,479
you know horizons and their abilities

124
00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:16,479
with regards to do things

125
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:18,479
that are you know kind of an operational

126
00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:20,160
nature you see around here this is a

127
00:05:23,270 --> 00:05:20,960
very

128
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:23,280
busy place with all kinds of equipment

129
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:25,520
wires computer

130
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:28,000
equipment things like that you know we

131
00:05:31,430 --> 00:05:29,840
can't call the repairman we have to fix

132
00:05:34,469 --> 00:05:31,440
this we have to understand how these

133
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:34,479
very complicated systems work so

134
00:05:37,909 --> 00:05:36,080
you know everything you learn along

135
00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:37,919
along the way is important to doing this

136
00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:42,950
sure

137
00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:44,880
our friend down here on earth pete

138
00:05:48,629 --> 00:05:47,520
heggseth is an army vet i know you're a

139
00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:48,639
navy guy

140
00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:50,320
he's going to go through astronaut

141
00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:52,560
training in houston next week do you

142
00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:54,400
think an army guy could actually hack

143
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:00,150
no i don't think so i think we should

144
00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:02,639
have mostly uh people from the navy up

145
00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:04,880
here actually i'm

146
00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:08,080
i'm just i'm choking

147
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:10,479
when i got up here the commander uh was

148
00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:12,800
uh terry verts air force guy the last

149
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:15,280
time i was up here the commander of the

150
00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:17,280
space station when i first got here was

151
00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:19,280
doug wheelock an army guy

152
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:22,319
we have people from all services

153
00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:25,199
and you know we're all professionals we

154
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:26,560
uh

155
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:30,000
all very capable people and

156
00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:31,600
we also have people that aren't from the

157
00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:32,960
military and

158
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:35,919
you know i'm currently uh retired navy

159
00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:37,440
but we have people that started off in

160
00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:39,600
the astronaut program as civilians and

161
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:41,680
the important thing is to have you know

162
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,400
people that uh you know work hard that

163
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:46,479
you know are relatively smart i don't

164
00:06:51,110 --> 00:06:48,960
think you know consider myself the you

165
00:06:51,909 --> 00:06:51,120
know the smartest person out there but

166
00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:51,919
uh

167
00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:53,440
you know have people that are you know

168
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:55,599
relatively smart but more importantly to

169
00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:57,360
be able to work as a team because it is

170
00:07:00,870 --> 00:06:59,440
a team effort not only with the folks

171
00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:00,880
you know up here

172
00:07:04,150 --> 00:07:02,720
that work up here but also the folks

173
00:07:07,589 --> 00:07:04,160
that we deal with on the ground that

174
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:08,390
sure

175
00:07:13,430 --> 00:07:11,440
commander when you are in space for a

176
00:07:16,309 --> 00:07:13,440
year

177
00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:16,319
are you are you on social media are you

178
00:07:20,870 --> 00:07:17,840
able to communicate with your loved ones

179
00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:20,880
on earth on twitter and what food are

180
00:07:25,350 --> 00:07:22,800
you going to miss the most so that as

181
00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:25,360
soon as you land you say take me to this

182
00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:33,670
so uh we have pretty decent uh

183
00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:36,080
capability with regards to email and a

184
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:40,000
uh a skype ip type uh voice over ip type

185
00:07:42,790 --> 00:07:41,680
phone system that allows us to

186
00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:42,800
communicate there's a little bit of a

187
00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:44,800
delay we do have an internet connection

188
00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:46,319
that is uh

189
00:07:50,150 --> 00:07:47,680
you know it's probably a lot like

190
00:07:52,469 --> 00:07:50,160
dial-up was if uh you know i'm sure the

191
00:07:54,629 --> 00:07:52,479
kids out there don't know what dial up

192
00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:54,639
is but uh it allows us to get on the

193
00:08:00,150 --> 00:07:57,280
internet it's it's slow not ideal but

194
00:08:01,589 --> 00:08:00,160
better than than not having uh having

195
00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:01,599
anything so there's pretty good

196
00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:04,240
capability there uh to communicate not

197
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:06,080

198
00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:08,800

you know our other jobs are doing the uh

231
00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:47,600
we're scientists we're researchers

232
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:50,480
uh we're operators of the equipment uh

233
00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:52,160
we're repair men

234
00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:54,880
where uh we're the where the you know

235
00:09:58,870 --> 00:09:56,800
the housekeeper the person that cleans

236
00:10:00,710 --> 00:09:58,880
the place you know all we have to fill

237
00:10:02,790 --> 00:10:00,720
all these roles but uh you know being

238
00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:02,800
the ambassador for space flight is also

239
00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:04,320
one of them and it's important and we

240
00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:07,440
have you know unique perspective up here

241
00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:09,920
um living and working in this in this

242
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:12,480
laboratory that it's important for us to

243
00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:13,360
share

244
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:16,399
uh this program as best we can with the

245
00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:18,800
with the uh you know with the taxpayers

246
00:10:21,430 --> 00:10:20,640
and the the people around the world that

247
00:10:23,269 --> 00:10:21,440
uh

248
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:23,279
that pay for this program because it is

249
00:10:32,389 --> 00:10:30,710
how much easier is your job of sharing

250
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:32,399
how much easier has that job been made

251
00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:39,350
oh i think it's

252
00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:40,880
not only

253
00:10:44,949 --> 00:10:44,000
easier for for us to do it uh you know

254
00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:44,959
sharing

255
00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:47,120
the space program but i think in general

256
00:10:51,910 --> 00:10:48,800
you know the public

257
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:51,920
affairs role for different organizations

258
00:10:57,269 --> 00:10:55,120
have changed you know greatly with uh

259
00:10:58,550 --> 00:10:57,279
with social media each person kind of

260
00:11:00,949 --> 00:10:58,560
becomes their own

261
00:11:04,150 --> 00:11:00,959
you know for good good or bad a uh you

262
00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:04,160
know a public affairs department so

263
00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:05,440
um

264
00:11:08,389 --> 00:11:07,040
you know it's something i enjoy doing

265
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:08,399
and i think it's something i hope that

266
00:11:16,630 --> 00:11:14,470
so you've been uh setting some records

267
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:16,640
some longevity records as far as the

268
00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:18,000
american who has spent the most

269
00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:20,640
cumulative days in space and and now

270
00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:23,120
you're on your 221st day your longest

271
00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:25,200
period in space

272
00:11:29,190 --> 00:11:28,079
when you do that kind of longevity i'd

273
00:11:31,350 --> 00:11:29,200
like to know

274
00:11:33,990 --> 00:11:31,360
what are the biggest challenges not just

275
00:11:40,069 --> 00:11:34,000
physically but emotionally being in

276
00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:43,910
well it is uh it is a long time um

277
00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:46,399
fortunately i had flown 159 days

278
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:48,160
previously and that felt like a long

279
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:49,760
time and i've been up here much longer

280
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:50,720
than that

281
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:53,600
and i have a long long time uh ahead of

282
00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:54,959
me so

283
00:11:58,870 --> 00:11:56,959
um you know

284
00:12:01,670 --> 00:11:58,880
you know i tried to prepare for that you

285
00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:01,680
know and i recognize uh

286
00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:03,920
that i'm in this enclosed environment i

287
00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:06,240
can't leave um you know and that's

288
00:12:09,509 --> 00:12:07,920
probably the hardest thing is that you

289
00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:09,519
you know you don't have the freedom to

290
00:12:14,230 --> 00:12:12,240
just walk out your front door and you

291
00:12:16,629 --> 00:12:14,240
know breathe the uh you know the fresh

292
00:12:18,629 --> 00:12:16,639
air and put your feet in the grass and

293
00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:18,639
you know those kind of things are you

294
00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:21,200
know besides you know human contact is

295
00:12:26,150 --> 00:12:23,200
are the things that we miss

296
00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:26,160
we miss the most up here

297
00:12:29,910 --> 00:12:28,160
yeah so i think the

298
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:29,920
the best preparation is just trying to

299
00:12:32,949 --> 00:12:31,760
understand the situation

300
00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:32,959
we're in and

301
00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:40,710
people think of the romance of space and

302
00:12:45,670 --> 00:12:42,880
everyone on earth envies you being up

303
00:12:46,870 --> 00:12:45,680
there on the cutting edge of exploration

304
00:12:49,509 --> 00:12:46,880
but

305
00:12:50,949 --> 00:12:49,519
not every day is probably a great day

306
00:12:52,949 --> 00:12:50,959
it's like any other part of being a

307
00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:52,959
human being you probably

308
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:01,509
yeah absolutely um you know when you're

309
00:13:05,750 --> 00:13:03,760
doing uh you know anything you're gonna

310
00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:05,760
have you know anything that people do

311
00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:07,760
you're gonna have good days and bad days

312
00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:10,560
um you know for me up here though you

313
00:13:14,389 --> 00:13:12,320
know they've been mostly good uh you

314
00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:14,399
know i try to be a pretty positive uh

315
00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:16,240
person and have a pretty good outlook on

316
00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:17,200
things

317
00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:18,720
um

318
00:13:23,430 --> 00:13:19,519
and

319
00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:23,440
real privilege to be able to you know

320
00:13:28,949 --> 00:13:25,839
represent my country and uh you know be

321
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:28,959
a part of this and you know as the first

322
00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:31,040
you know one-year crew member for the

323
00:13:34,470 --> 00:13:33,440
united states at least is uh you know

324
00:13:37,910 --> 00:13:34,480
something that makes it a little bit

325
00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:39,590
now you said you couldn't just walk out

326
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:41,440
your front door but last week you did

327
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:44,959
take your first two spacewalks ever

328
00:13:49,590 --> 00:13:47,120
after thinking about that for years what

329
00:13:55,829 --> 00:13:49,600
it would be like how did the reality

330
00:13:59,110 --> 00:13:56,870
well

331
00:14:02,870 --> 00:13:59,120
you know i thought it would be hard and

332
00:14:05,430 --> 00:14:03,990
a lot of people probably wouldn't

333
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:05,440
believe this but it wasn't really it

334
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:07,920
wasn't really fun it was kind of that

335
00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:10,160
that type 2 kind of fun and it's fun

336
00:14:12,870 --> 00:14:11,680
when when it's over

337
00:14:15,269 --> 00:14:12,880
you know while you're doing it you're

338
00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:15,279
like this is really hard and but when

339
00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:16,639
you're done you're like wow that was a

340
00:14:21,670 --> 00:14:18,720
lot of fun it's kind of like

341
00:14:23,910 --> 00:14:21,680
that kind of fun and

342
00:14:26,550 --> 00:14:23,920
the view was a lot better than i thought

343
00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:26,560
it would be which really surprised me

344
00:14:31,030 --> 00:14:28,480
we got another one here coming up on

345
00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:31,040
friday and i'm really looking forward to

346
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:32,880
it and i hope it hope it goes as well as

347
00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:35,760
the first one we're working with pretty

348
00:14:45,910 --> 00:14:42,870
so it might be a fair way to describe it

349
00:14:51,110 --> 00:14:45,920
you don't like space walking you like

350
00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:51,990
i could

351
00:15:02,710 --> 00:14:54,720
it's

352
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:02,720
you know you have when you're on a

353
00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:04,560
roller coaster or something like that

354
00:15:07,829 --> 00:15:05,600
but it is

355
00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:07,839
you know it is fun in in hindsight

356
00:15:13,590 --> 00:15:09,760
because it is you know it's so much of a

357
00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:15,110
i want to ask you you mentioned the

358
00:15:21,269 --> 00:15:18,480
views i want to ask you about sunrises

359
00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:21,279
and sunsets because you get a lot more

360
00:15:26,389 --> 00:15:23,760
than two a day i think by our count 3

361
00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:26,399
500 so far

362
00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:28,160
this trip

363
00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:31,120
are they all the same or do some sunsets

364
00:15:40,870 --> 00:15:38,550
well they all they all vary

365
00:15:43,189 --> 00:15:40,880
not only do they vary in how they look

366
00:15:46,069 --> 00:15:43,199
um because of the you know the

367
00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:46,079
environment of the atmosphere uh but

368
00:15:50,710 --> 00:15:48,000
they also vary in how long they last

369
00:15:53,110 --> 00:15:50,720
based on our orbit and uh you know how

370
00:15:55,590 --> 00:15:53,120
we are our orbit is in relation to the

371
00:15:58,870 --> 00:15:55,600
sun so some last longer than others

372
00:16:00,550 --> 00:15:58,880
they're all spectacular um

373
00:16:02,870 --> 00:16:00,560
you know sunrises on earth though are

374
00:16:04,629 --> 00:16:02,880
pretty incredible too and uh

375
00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:04,639
you know they're kind of hard to compare

376
00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:06,399
the two but the good things about the

377
00:16:10,790 --> 00:16:08,639
ones on earth is they i think they vary

378
00:16:12,550 --> 00:16:10,800
much more in how they look in their

379
00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:12,560
appearance and they last much longer

380
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:14,320
because you know they're you're not

381
00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:17,120
going around the earth at 17 500 miles

382
00:16:23,030 --> 00:16:19,279
an hour but like you said we get a lot

383
00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:25,430
when you had been looking at sunrises

384
00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:28,480
and sunsets from inside the space

385
00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:31,040
station is there any difference from

386
00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:32,800
when you're observing a sunrise or

387
00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:39,829
it's incredible the difference like i

388
00:16:43,990 --> 00:16:41,920
said i didn't um you know i'd heard

389
00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:44,000
people say tell me that that the view is

390
00:16:48,389 --> 00:16:46,079
just amazing and i thought you know the

391
00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:48,399
view is pretty amazing up here looking

392
00:16:51,749 --> 00:16:50,160
out the window how could it be much more

393
00:16:54,069 --> 00:16:51,759
amazing but when you're

394
00:16:57,990 --> 00:16:54,079
looking through one um you know pane of

395
00:17:00,230 --> 00:16:58,000
glass that the helmet visor is and uh

396
00:17:03,030 --> 00:17:00,240
how your you know your face is kind of

397
00:17:06,069 --> 00:17:03,040
up in the visor so your field of view is

398
00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:06,079
much greater it is just a completely

399
00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:09,280
different level of uh you know color and

400
00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:10,559
brilliance

401
00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:12,880
that you see of the earth

402
00:17:16,789 --> 00:17:15,280
than than we see here looking out the

403
00:17:18,870 --> 00:17:16,799
windows although you know this is a

404
00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:18,880
great view it doesn't uh it doesn't

405
00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:25,990
captain i got time for one more question

406
00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:29,039
uh you know the mission of the last 15

407
00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:30,720
years

408
00:17:36,150 --> 00:17:33,360
has been to obviously

409
00:17:37,190 --> 00:17:36,160
further humanity's understanding of

410
00:17:40,150 --> 00:17:37,200
space

411
00:17:41,830 --> 00:17:40,160
nine years left on this mission what do

412
00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:41,840
you hope to find

413
00:17:46,070 --> 00:17:43,840
and make an argument for why it should

414
00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:46,080
be more than nine years and this kind of

415
00:17:56,310 --> 00:17:55,430
well you know being a

416
00:17:59,270 --> 00:17:56,320
you know

417
00:18:01,190 --> 00:17:59,280
former member of the military i don't

418
00:18:03,430 --> 00:18:01,200
like the idea of uh

419
00:18:05,750 --> 00:18:03,440
you know giving up ground that we've

420
00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:05,760
we've taken and this is a you know a

421
00:18:09,430 --> 00:18:07,520
foothold in space

422
00:18:12,390 --> 00:18:09,440
uh the international space station where

423
00:18:15,190 --> 00:18:12,400
we continue to learn things um

424
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:15,200
uh you know so far we've learned uh

425
00:18:19,430 --> 00:18:17,440
an incredible amount on how to build the

426
00:18:21,590 --> 00:18:19,440
life support systems

427
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:21,600
uh electrical system

428
00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:23,280
uh you know the procedures the

429
00:18:28,789 --> 00:18:25,840
operations the working with the ground

430
00:18:29,990 --> 00:18:28,799
we've learned a lot about human health

431
00:18:32,789 --> 00:18:30,000
and

432
00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:32,799
how this environment you know negatively

433
00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:35,039
affects our bodies but also how to

434
00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:36,480
mitigate some of those effects and

435
00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:39,520
there's a lot more to learn now whether

436
00:18:44,630 --> 00:18:41,440
you know nine years from now if or

437
00:18:46,789 --> 00:18:44,640
whenever we decide to uh you know

438
00:18:47,990 --> 00:18:46,799
retire the space station because at some

439
00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:48,000
point we

440
00:18:52,630 --> 00:18:50,160
we probably will i mean i guess you

441
00:18:55,270 --> 00:18:52,640
could keep adding on modules and maybe

442
00:18:57,750 --> 00:18:55,280
taking away ones that no longer

443
00:18:59,350 --> 00:18:57,760
serve their purposes but you know if we

444
00:19:01,430 --> 00:18:59,360
don't continue this space station i hope

445
00:19:03,830 --> 00:19:01,440
we're continuing another or you know

446
00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:03,840
something on the moon and eventually you

447
00:19:08,549 --> 00:19:06,640
know possibly mars or or will be mars

448
00:19:11,909 --> 00:19:08,559
hopefully not too far in a distant

449
00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:13,750
captain thank you so much for your time

450
00:19:21,510 --> 00:19:15,520
