station this is houston are you ready

2
00:00:12,709 --> 00:00:10,790
we are ready for the event

3
00:00:14,470 --> 00:00:12,719
time for kids this is mission control

4
00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:14,480
houston please call station for a voice

5
00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:16,080
check

6
00:00:23,830 --> 00:00:19,520
station this is this is time for kids

7
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:26,710
we uh we hear you okay not great there's

8
00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:28,560
a little bit of an echo and the volume's

9
00:00:42,389 --> 00:00:30,800
a little low but i think we can work

10
00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:44,389
hi my name is elizabeth

11
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:47,280
and my questions for scott

12
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:49,600
what happens to the spacecraft after you

13
00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:56,869
hi elizabeth well we come up here on the

14
00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:59,199
russian soyuz the spacecraft that you

15
00:01:02,389 --> 00:01:00,800
mentioned and

16
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:02,399
after we dock

17
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:04,159
it stays here with us

18
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:06,000
for um

19
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:08,400
most of for most people it stays with us

20
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:10,400
the whole time we're here so we can use

21
00:01:16,149 --> 00:01:12,880
it to come back in an emergency

22
00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:16,159
uh if required we power it down and and

23
00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:18,159
so it's in this uh kind of a

24
00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:20,799
conservation mode but since i've been up

25
00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:23,040
here a long time we actually replaced

26
00:01:33,429 --> 00:01:25,200
errors after about six months a new one

27
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:36,069
hi my name is mary and my question is

28
00:01:39,910 --> 00:01:37,439
for scott

29
00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:39,920
how does a fedo spend a year in space of

30
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:48,310
hmm good question so even though even

31
00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:50,240
though i like these people

32
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:52,960
it would be good to have other people

33
00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:54,960
as well

34
00:01:59,109 --> 00:01:56,719
to go with them

35
00:02:01,670 --> 00:01:59,119
because

36
00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:01,680
i think variety in life is important and

37
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:03,280
there are people on the ground that we

38
00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:06,640
miss and you know our friends our family

39
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:08,959
and it'd be nice to have them here too

40
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:09,920
but

41
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:11,760
i understand that's not possible right

42
00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:17,030
hi my name is sarah and my question is

43
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:18,160
for chell

44
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:20,160
is being in space just like a regular

45
00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:22,000
routine for you now or does it still

46
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:28,070
hey thank you that's a that's a great

47
00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:29,760
question and it's one of the things that

48
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:31,599
really surprised me about being up here

49
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:33,920
and i think it really speaks to

50
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:37,840
how adaptable we are as humans um

51
00:02:41,589 --> 00:02:40,080
you know floating is something that you

52
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:41,599
i don't you never feel like you could

53
00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:44,080
get used to um but after you've been up

54
00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:45,440
here for

55
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:47,680
you know a month a month and a half it

56
00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:50,800
feels very natural and so while it's

57
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:54,080
it's a lot of fun to float um it becomes

58
00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:56,160
kind of an almost like an everyday thing

59
00:03:00,149 --> 00:02:57,920
and you really have to remind yourself

60
00:03:02,229 --> 00:03:00,159
sometimes how special it is to to be

61
00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:02,239
able to float around and also to be able

62
00:03:11,430 --> 00:03:09,990
hi my name is noah and my question is

63
00:03:12,949 --> 00:03:11,440
for scott

64
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:12,959
if you weren't

65
00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:21,990
so noah i was in the uh united states

66
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:23,120
navy

67
00:03:25,789 --> 00:03:24,560
for

68
00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:25,799
uh

69
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:28,159
26 years

70
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:29,519
and uh

71
00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:31,360
i would probably

72
00:03:35,509 --> 00:03:33,120
still be in the navy if i wasn't an

73
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:35,519
astronaut i retired a number of years

74
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:36,480
ago

75
00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:39,120
but uh i enjoyed my career in the navy i

76
00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:41,200
was a pilot in the navy and i think i'd

77
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:42,799
probably

78
00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:44,560
if i wasn't an astronaut still be in the

79
00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:52,949
hi my name is evan and my question is

80
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:55,840
for chell since urine is recycled how

81
00:04:03,429 --> 00:03:57,760
weird does it feel to drink water on the

82
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:06,630
that's a great question and uh you know

83
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:07,920
i think part of it is that we don't

84
00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:10,080
think try not to think about it too much

85
00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:11,040
um

86
00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:13,439
but the the fact of the matter is it's a

87
00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:15,840
it's an incredible technology and it's

88
00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:17,440
something that uh

89
00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:19,519
we hope can be used that technology can

90
00:04:24,469 --> 00:04:21,919
be used back down on the earth to create

91
00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:24,479
uh clean drinking water for a lot of

92
00:04:29,749 --> 00:04:25,919
people around the world that don't have

93
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:29,759
access to clean water and and up here

94
00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:31,680
frankly the the water tastes great you

95
00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:33,840
know it's uh there's there's no taste to

96
00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:35,680
it tastes like fresh water

97
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:38,080
and uh and so it's it's really nice to

98
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:40,240
have that uh capability up here because

99
00:04:45,510 --> 00:04:43,360
that way we don't have to ship water up

100
00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:45,520
on a cargo vehicle every time that we

101
00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:47,919
need some we're able to pull water out

102
00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:50,080
of the air called condensate and we're

103
00:04:54,230 --> 00:04:52,639
able to process our our urine back into

104
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:54,240
clean drinking water and that's an

105
00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:55,680
important technology to have you know

106
00:04:59,350 --> 00:04:58,000
when we think about going off going on

107
00:05:00,870 --> 00:04:59,360
to mars

108
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:00,880
we're going to have to have technologies

109
00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:02,400
like that so that we don't have to bring

110
00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:04,000
everything that we need with us that

111
00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:07,039
we're able to recycle and reuse a lot of

112
00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:08,000
those

113
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:10,479
consumable materials um

114
00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:18,469
hey and to add to chell's answer so it's

115
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:21,120
weird to drink our own urine but what is

116
00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:22,080
weirder

117
00:05:30,469 --> 00:05:24,560
is to drink other people's urine

118
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:32,870
hi my name is alexa and my question is

119
00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:35,520
for scott does being in space affect how

120
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:42,629
um

121
00:05:51,270 --> 00:05:49,360
you know i i think you can actually for

122
00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:51,280
whatever reason eat more up here it

123
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:53,120
seems like maybe it's because of the

124
00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:56,160
exercise we do and we do that every day

125
00:05:59,270 --> 00:05:57,520
but

126
00:06:01,670 --> 00:05:59,280
i think i probably

127
00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:01,680
actually eat more calories here

128
00:06:05,749 --> 00:06:03,360
than i do on earth and i think other

129
00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:05,759
people probably noticed the same thing

130
00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:07,600
perhaps there's some kind of other

131
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:10,319
physiological reason behind that

132
00:06:14,309 --> 00:06:11,840
um

133
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:14,319
you know the the food here though is is

134
00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:16,000
somewhat different than the food we eat

135
00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:18,240
on earth so maybe because

136
00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:19,440
maybe though even though we're eating

137
00:06:23,749 --> 00:06:22,240
more calories it's like better calories

138
00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:23,759
maybe they're a little bit more healthy

139
00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:25,600
for you so means we can eat more of them

140
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:27,039
i don't i don't know for sure but it

141
00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:34,790
hi my name is sophia and my question is

142
00:06:37,749 --> 00:06:35,919
for chell

143
00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:37,759
what is the most surprising thing that

144
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:39,520
you've encountered during your journey

145
00:06:49,029 --> 00:06:46,710
hey sophia thanks for that question you

146
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:49,039
know i think one of it one surprising

147
00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:51,840
thing to me is uh

148
00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:54,080
it goes back to that first question and

149
00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:55,680
you know when you think about living in

150
00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:58,319
space and and getting to float and see

151
00:07:02,309 --> 00:07:00,080
the earth it seems like that is

152
00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:02,319
something that would just be constantly

153
00:07:06,550 --> 00:07:04,720
new and exciting and like i said before

154
00:07:08,150 --> 00:07:06,560
it's actually i think one of the amazing

155
00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:08,160
things is that you kind of get used to

156
00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:09,919
that you get used to being able to float

157
00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:12,560
around it just kind of becomes normal up

158
00:07:15,029 --> 00:07:13,680
here

159
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:15,039
so that was surprising one of the other

160
00:07:18,710 --> 00:07:16,880
things that was surprising and really

161
00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:18,720
kind of one of the most breathtaking

162
00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:20,400
things that i have experienced up here

163
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:23,599
was getting to see the aurora

164
00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:26,319
the southern lights from up here and and

165
00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:28,319
normally

166
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:30,479
when the their solar activity and the

167
00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:32,560
aurora becomes active you know you can

168
00:07:36,870 --> 00:07:35,280
kind of see it over the uh the horizon

169
00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:36,880
of the earth over the at the earth's

170
00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:38,240
atmosphere but there have been a couple

171
00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:40,560
of times that it has just lit up the

172
00:07:45,670 --> 00:07:43,199
atmosphere below us so that we're

173
00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:45,680
essentially flying through it and just

174
00:07:51,189 --> 00:07:47,840
like ripples of green and purple below

175
00:07:52,469 --> 00:07:51,199
us uh wiggling very quickly like a snake

176
00:07:57,189 --> 00:07:52,479
absolutely beautiful it gave me

177
00:08:02,309 --> 00:07:59,670
hi my name is alison and my question is

178
00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:02,319
for scott can you describe how it feels

179
00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:04,400
once you're back on earth after being in

180
00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:12,550
so alison so um

181
00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:16,319
you're dizzy at first and uh

182
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:17,520
you know it depends on how long you've

183
00:08:21,029 --> 00:08:18,960
been up here too

184
00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:21,039
when i flew on two shuttle missions that

185
00:08:25,430 --> 00:08:22,800
were much shorter you were

186
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:25,440
not as dizzy and uh

187
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:28,240
but you get over that and after like in

188
00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:30,080
my case uh

189
00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:32,240
you know probably about a day

190
00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:34,640
you're feeling uh pretty good but you're

191
00:08:40,310 --> 00:08:38,080
also pretty sore and tired you know our

192
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:40,320
like my neck was really sore because up

193
00:08:42,949 --> 00:08:41,440
here

194
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:42,959
you really don't have to hold your head

195
00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:44,800
up it's just kind of floating on your

196
00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:46,160
shoulders

197
00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:46,959
so

198
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:48,800
uh when you get home and gravity's

199
00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:51,440
pushing down in your head you know your

200
00:08:56,070 --> 00:08:53,360
your uh you know your neck might hurt

201
00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:56,080
other joints might be painful for

202
00:09:00,310 --> 00:08:58,080
for other reasons you're tired uh

203
00:09:03,269 --> 00:09:00,320
because adjusting to readjusting the

204
00:09:05,430 --> 00:09:03,279
gravity makes you tired but uh

205
00:09:07,990 --> 00:09:05,440
it's something that we we deal with and

206
00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:08,000
uh you know people recover from it at

207
00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:10,000
different uh rates and different ways

208
00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:10,959
but

209
00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:13,839
the good news is we understand um you

210
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:16,240
know a lot about this and

211
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:18,000
someday when we go to mars we'll be able

212
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:20,880
to go from living in zero gravity to

213
00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:22,880
living in martian gravity and be able to

214
00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:24,800
live and work in that environment as

215
00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:32,470
hi my name is sean

216
00:09:36,790 --> 00:09:35,040
and my question is for chill do you need

217
00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:36,800
to memorize all the buttons on the

218
00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:39,680
control panels and how do you know what

219
00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:45,430
sean that's a great question

220
00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:47,680
well i'll tell you what we've got a lot

221
00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:51,200
of buttons up here so um

222
00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:52,959
i don't know what every single button

223
00:09:57,829 --> 00:09:55,360
does some of the equipment we we don't

224
00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:57,839
even we don't use while we're up here

225
00:10:02,069 --> 00:10:00,000
but there are some some activities that

226
00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:02,079
we do almost on a daily basis and so we

227
00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:03,920
know definitely know what those buttons

228
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:04,959
do

229
00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:06,480
we're very familiar with those and for

230
00:10:12,069 --> 00:10:09,200
example in the soyuz spacecraft in which

231
00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:12,079
we we both flew up in

232
00:10:14,949 --> 00:10:13,680
the stuff that we're responsible for we

233
00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:14,959
become very familiar with it and you

234
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:17,040
don't really set out to memorize it but

235
00:10:20,949 --> 00:10:18,800
just because we interact with it so

236
00:10:22,069 --> 00:10:20,959
frequently in the simulators and in

237
00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:22,079
flight

238
00:10:27,509 --> 00:10:25,760
you have you have those memorized

239
00:10:29,030 --> 00:10:27,519
more importantly

240
00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:29,040
the training that we get on the ground

241
00:10:32,949 --> 00:10:30,720
so we spend time in simulators and

242
00:10:35,110 --> 00:10:32,959
mock-ups of the space station

243
00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:35,120
and we have tremendous tremendous

244
00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:36,720
training team on the ground that helps

245
00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:38,399
us to train on the things that we need

246
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:40,880
to do in response to an emergency and

247
00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:42,480
the things that we do on a daily basis

248
00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:44,000
to conduct our experiments and do the

249
00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:46,240
maintenance up here so we definitely

250
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:48,000
know the things that we need to know to

251
00:10:55,269 --> 00:10:50,240
have a successful flight and successful

252
00:10:58,790 --> 00:10:57,509
hi my name is dean and my question is

253
00:11:00,550 --> 00:10:58,800
for scott

254
00:11:07,670 --> 00:11:00,560
what do you do with your free time in

255
00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:09,590
so we don't have a whole lot of free

256
00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:12,959
time we're busy uh busy working here and

257
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:15,600
doing a lot of scientific experiments we

258
00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:16,560
have over

259
00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:18,800
400 experiments going on while i'm up

260
00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:20,720
here for this this year

261
00:11:25,829 --> 00:11:23,040
but uh you know in the free time we have

262
00:11:28,389 --> 00:11:25,839
i like to you know look out at the earth

263
00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:28,399
and take pictures of the earth

264
00:11:32,630 --> 00:11:30,560
but also you know we watch movies at

265
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:32,640
times read

266
00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:33,760
books

267
00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:36,000
uh talk on the phone to friends and

268
00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:39,120
family email things like that so and

269
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:41,279
then also you know we can we can do

270
00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:44,480
stuff like this which is pretty fun too

271
00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:45,279
and

272
00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:56,240
for chell how long did you have to train

273
00:12:05,910 --> 00:12:03,990
great question olaf

274
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:05,920
so when we first joined the astronaut

275
00:12:10,389 --> 00:12:08,320
corps we spent about two two and a half

276
00:12:12,069 --> 00:12:10,399
years just training on all the

277
00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:12,079
fundamental skills that we'll need to be

278
00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:14,320
able to fly in space and once we're done

279
00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:16,000
with that we are essentially we become

280
00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:17,600
mission eligible that is that we can

281
00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:20,160
become assigned to an actual mission to

282
00:12:22,629 --> 00:12:21,120
fly

283
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:22,639
and then once i got assigned to a

284
00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:23,680
mission

285
00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:26,320
i spent another two two and a half years

286
00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:28,000
training for the various the specific

287
00:12:31,110 --> 00:12:29,600
things that i would be doing during that

288
00:12:33,430 --> 00:12:31,120
mission during this mission that we're

289
00:12:34,870 --> 00:12:33,440
on right now so all told it was about

290
00:12:36,629 --> 00:12:34,880
five years four or five years of

291
00:12:39,509 --> 00:12:36,639
training to to get up here to the space

292
00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:39,519
station

293
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:42,160
and and like i said before we have

294
00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:44,240
excellent trainers and excellent team

295
00:12:50,829 --> 00:12:46,240
supporting us on the ground to make it

296
00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:53,430
successful hi my name is colin my

297
00:12:58,710 --> 00:12:55,760
question is for scott what procedures

298
00:13:03,829 --> 00:12:58,720
are in place to clean the iss and do you

299
00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:06,069
so yeah we have a procedure for just

300
00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:08,800
about everything including cleaning and

301
00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:10,160
when we uh

302
00:13:12,629 --> 00:13:11,600
when we clean

303
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:12,639
um

304
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:17,440
filters because you know we don't have

305
00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:19,279
we don't have gravity to push all the

306
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:22,079
dirt down to the floor so it has to be

307
00:13:25,509 --> 00:13:23,680
sucked into these air filters and

308
00:13:27,350 --> 00:13:25,519
there's some right along here

309
00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:27,360
actually there's something in this one

310
00:13:31,670 --> 00:13:29,600
i'll just grab it out of here

311
00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:31,680
see so some of this stuff this is a food

312
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:34,160
package that probably got away from our

313
00:13:37,990 --> 00:13:36,720
our table but we'll vacuum these uh

314
00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:38,000
filters

315
00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:39,920
we'll wipe the uh

316
00:13:44,629 --> 00:13:42,800
the panels down with disinfectant wipes

317
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:44,639
and especially the stuff that we put our

318
00:13:49,990 --> 00:13:47,120
hands on a lot like the handrails

319
00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:50,000
the microphones the computer keys stuff

320
00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:51,120
like that

321
00:13:53,350 --> 00:13:51,920
and

322
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:53,360
you know depending on the module there

323
00:13:58,710 --> 00:13:55,760
are different procedures but we we share

324
00:14:00,790 --> 00:13:58,720
the cleaning responsibilities

325
00:14:04,069 --> 00:14:00,800
the three crew members on the us segment

326
00:14:07,110 --> 00:14:04,079
we split the segment up into three parts

327
00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:07,120
the russians clean uh their part of the

328
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:09,920
space station and we do that

329
00:14:12,470 --> 00:14:11,440
on the weekend kind of like how you

330
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:12,480
would might

331
00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:14,240
clean your house or your room you might

332
00:14:21,910 --> 00:14:16,560
spend weekend time to do that we do the

333
00:14:25,829 --> 00:14:23,269
so

334
00:14:28,069 --> 00:14:25,839
my name is izana and my question is for

335
00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:28,079
chell what does it feel like to be so

336
00:14:35,829 --> 00:14:30,079
many miles away from any other life

337
00:14:39,509 --> 00:14:37,590
well this is it's a pretty amazing place

338
00:14:42,230 --> 00:14:39,519
to live and work and so

339
00:14:43,269 --> 00:14:42,240
but uh but it's true you know we

340
00:14:46,230 --> 00:14:43,279
it's

341
00:14:47,910 --> 00:14:46,240
our crew of six up here and occasionally

342
00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:47,920
we'll have crews that came up come up to

343
00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:50,880
visit and uh and so for a while there we

344
00:14:53,430 --> 00:14:52,560
had nine people up here which was pretty

345
00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:53,440
fun

346
00:14:57,269 --> 00:14:54,720
um but

347
00:14:59,350 --> 00:14:57,279
uh like scott was saying

348
00:15:01,509 --> 00:14:59,360
you know it's it's we get we all get

349
00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:01,519
along great but uh

350
00:15:06,069 --> 00:15:04,240
it's uh it would be nice to get to

351
00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:06,079
to interact with other people so i think

352
00:15:09,189 --> 00:15:08,000
we you know you definitely

353
00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:09,199
get to the point where you're missing

354
00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:10,720
your family and missing your friends and

355
00:15:13,910 --> 00:15:12,480
for me that's the the hardest part of

356
00:15:16,550 --> 00:15:13,920
this mission is being away from my

357
00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:16,560
family for so long um

358
00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:18,000
but the

359
00:15:22,150 --> 00:15:20,000
the privilege of getting to be up here

360
00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:22,160
on the space station uh to get to work

361
00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:23,760
and live up here to be able to see the

362
00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:26,160
earth from this perspective

363
00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:28,480
and get to to get to work on incredible

364
00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:32,399
science like we we do um is uh is a real

365
00:15:37,030 --> 00:15:34,639
treat and and it kind of makes up for

366
00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:37,040
having to be away from our friends and

367
00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:44,470
hi my name is annika and my question is

368
00:15:48,550 --> 00:15:46,000
for scott

369
00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:48,560
so after going into space and seeing the

370
00:15:58,150 --> 00:15:50,160
earth from above how do you feel

371
00:16:03,030 --> 00:16:00,230
well you know

372
00:16:04,389 --> 00:16:03,040
the earth and the space station is

373
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:04,399
pretty

374
00:16:11,990 --> 00:16:09,360
i don't know that i have a different

375
00:16:14,389 --> 00:16:12,000
perspective on my my

376
00:16:16,949 --> 00:16:14,399
spot in it as a result from flying in

377
00:16:20,069 --> 00:16:16,959
space because the universe is

378
00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:20,079
is so very big

379
00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:21,440
you know you do get a little bit of a

380
00:16:24,870 --> 00:16:23,519
different perspective on the earth being

381
00:16:26,949 --> 00:16:24,880
here because you there are certain

382
00:16:29,030 --> 00:16:26,959
things you can see from

383
00:16:30,550 --> 00:16:29,040
uh the space station and from space on

384
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:30,560
the earth that you really don't

385
00:16:34,470 --> 00:16:32,560
necessarily appreciate when you're

386
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:34,480
standing on it for instance

387
00:16:38,629 --> 00:16:36,880
you know how thin and fragile the uh the

388
00:16:39,829 --> 00:16:38,639
atmosphere is

389
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:39,839
um

390
00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:42,720
we also are able to see pollution in

391
00:16:47,350 --> 00:16:44,399
certain parts of the world

392
00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:47,360
that is almost there is there almost all

393
00:16:53,590 --> 00:16:50,160
the time and you know really affects our

394
00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:53,600
ability to see the cities that are below

395
00:16:58,310 --> 00:16:56,639
uh this this uh pollution so

396
00:17:01,350 --> 00:16:58,320
it definitely gives you a different

397
00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:01,360
perspective on on earth

398
00:17:04,710 --> 00:17:03,600
but i'm not too sure for me at least it

399
00:17:09,909 --> 00:17:04,720
gives me any kind of different

400
00:17:18,309 --> 00:17:11,909
hi my name is dafina and my question is

401
00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:19,750
you know i think that there are some

402
00:17:22,549 --> 00:17:20,880
people

403
00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:22,559
who have a hard time sleeping up here

404
00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:23,760
for myself

405
00:17:26,470 --> 00:17:24,880
i find it

406
00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:26,480
very comfortable

407
00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:28,720
some people need that sensation of

408
00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:30,640
having a bed behind their back and maybe

409
00:17:34,710 --> 00:17:32,880
a pillow under their neck and so we all

410
00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:34,720
sleep in sleeping bags and you can

411
00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:36,640
bungee your sleeping bag to the wall of

412
00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:38,480
your crew quarters and get that sense of

413
00:17:41,590 --> 00:17:40,080
pressure on your back and for some

414
00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:41,600
people that makes that helps them to

415
00:17:44,789 --> 00:17:42,880
sleep better

416
00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:44,799
i just have one

417
00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:47,120
cord tying my sleeping bag to the wall

418
00:17:50,150 --> 00:17:48,720
just so that the sleeping bag doesn't

419
00:17:51,669 --> 00:17:50,160
fly away and then i crawl into my

420
00:17:53,350 --> 00:17:51,679
sleeping bag and i basically just kind

421
00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:53,360
of sleep floating in the middle of my

422
00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:56,080
crew quarters in the sleeping bag and um

423
00:17:59,350 --> 00:17:57,919
i kind of imagine that i'm sleeping on a

424
00:18:05,110 --> 00:17:59,360
cloud or something and that's very

425
00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:07,430
hi my name is haley and my question is

426
00:18:11,029 --> 00:18:08,720
for scott

427
00:18:13,270 --> 00:18:11,039
you said you post photos on social media

428
00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:13,280
and watch movies how you get internet

429
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:21,669
so the uh the space station has a an

430
00:18:25,350 --> 00:18:23,280
ability to communicate with the ground

431
00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:25,360
for instance right now when we were

432
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:28,320
talking to you this goes from a uh

433
00:18:34,070 --> 00:18:31,120
the signal's going from a satellite dish

434
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:34,080
uh that's on the space station to a

435
00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:37,760
a satellite dish that's much uh

436
00:18:41,110 --> 00:18:39,280
you know to a satellite that's much

437
00:18:42,669 --> 00:18:41,120
further away from the earth

438
00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:42,679
in

439
00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:45,360
geosynchronous or stationary orbit

440
00:18:49,990 --> 00:18:47,440
essentially over a spot on the earth and

441
00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:50,000
then that signal is transmitted back to

442
00:18:53,990 --> 00:18:51,840
the earth

443
00:18:55,990 --> 00:18:54,000
to a satellite dish and you know who

444
00:18:58,470 --> 00:18:56,000
knows it may be transmitted back to

445
00:19:01,510 --> 00:18:58,480
another satellite before it gets to to

446
00:19:02,230 --> 00:19:01,520
you guys maybe multiple times so

447
00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:02,240
it's

448
00:19:07,270 --> 00:19:04,640
the internet goes uh you know over the

449
00:19:10,310 --> 00:19:07,280
same you know transmission

450
00:19:12,630 --> 00:19:10,320
uh path as our voice does and it gives

451
00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:12,640
us the capability to connect to the the

452
00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:15,440
internet on the ground and it's not the

453
00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:24,470
hi my name is neil and my question is

454
00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:25,760
for chell

455
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:27,600
are there times when you really miss

456
00:19:36,549 --> 00:19:29,679
being on earth and if so can you please

457
00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:37,990
yeah and so

458
00:19:42,549 --> 00:19:40,080
you know i described before that

459
00:19:44,310 --> 00:19:42,559
for me for this um

460
00:19:45,590 --> 00:19:44,320
being for this expedition the hardest

461
00:19:47,510 --> 00:19:45,600
thing for me is really being away from

462
00:19:49,190 --> 00:19:47,520
my family and friends and and so i think

463
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:49,200
that there are definitely times that uh

464
00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:51,200
that you miss being on the ground you

465
00:19:56,150 --> 00:19:53,600
know i've i've been up here for all of

466
00:19:57,190 --> 00:19:56,160
my kids birthdays and and for my wife's

467
00:19:58,950 --> 00:19:57,200
birthday and

468
00:20:02,950 --> 00:19:58,960
um

469
00:20:06,549 --> 00:20:04,870
there are times that uh

470
00:20:07,909 --> 00:20:06,559
you you'd like to be able to gather

471
00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:07,919
together with your friends and family

472
00:20:13,590 --> 00:20:09,919
and so um i think we miss those

473
00:20:15,029 --> 00:20:13,600
opportunities but we also enjoy being up

474
00:20:16,870 --> 00:20:15,039
here and getting to share this

475
00:20:18,830 --> 00:20:16,880
experience with our family and friends

476
00:20:21,909 --> 00:20:18,840
through pictures and phone calls and

477
00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:21,919
email and so you know those those kind

478
00:20:25,750 --> 00:20:23,760
of offset a little bit but

479
00:20:28,149 --> 00:20:25,760
and technology is terrific for that you

480
00:20:30,070 --> 00:20:28,159
know we have the ability to call

481
00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:30,080
family and friends using our internet

482
00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:32,000
protocol phone

483
00:20:35,990 --> 00:20:34,400
and we have a tele a video conference

484
00:20:37,990 --> 00:20:36,000
once a week and so

485
00:20:44,390 --> 00:20:38,000
so technology has certainly helped us to

486
00:20:49,190 --> 00:20:46,710
hi my name is eric and my question is

487
00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:49,200
for scott of all the freeze-dried foods

488
00:20:58,070 --> 00:20:51,520
that you eat which tastes best and which

489
00:21:02,310 --> 00:21:00,390
hmm tough question

490
00:21:08,470 --> 00:21:02,320
i think

491
00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:08,480
the granola it's like breakfast granola

492
00:21:12,950 --> 00:21:09,360
so

493
00:21:17,350 --> 00:21:12,960
i think that one tastes the best which

494
00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:20,310
