1
00:00:06,309 --> 00:00:02,389
station this is houston are you ready

2
00:00:06,319 --> 00:00:13,669
i am ready for the pao event

3
00:00:17,830 --> 00:00:15,749
cbs has faced the nation this is mission

4
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:17,840
control houston please call station for

5
00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:23,349
station this is face the nation how do

6
00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:28,550
i have you loud and clear welcome aboard

7
00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:35,910
we're back with a very long distance

8
00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:38,399
remote astronaut scott kelly joins us

9
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:40,800
from the international space station

10
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:42,480
commander kelly you first went into

11
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:51,670
well my first flight was on

12
00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:53,360
just on the space shuttle it was to the

13
00:00:58,229 --> 00:00:55,600
hubble space telescope and that was

14
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:58,239
before we had the uh the international

15
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:00,960
space station it wasn't uh a few years

16
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:03,440
later uh before we launched the

17
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:04,960
the uh

18
00:01:09,429 --> 00:01:07,600
the first uh people uh to the space

19
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:09,439
station the first human presence in

20
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:11,200
space which we've had for the last 15

21
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:13,600
years so uh you know it's a much

22
00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:15,680
different experience now with uh this

23
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:17,280
international space station and the

24
00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:18,880
international cooperation and all the

25
00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:20,159
research we have

26
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:22,240
uh that go with it than than what we

27
00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:24,960
were doing uh back in the 1990s and

28
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:27,759
previously

29
00:01:31,429 --> 00:01:29,520
how about for you personally though

30
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:31,439
being in space now relative to that very

31
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:38,630
well you know flying in space is a

32
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:40,400
privilege whether it's the first time or

33
00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:42,720
the or the fourth time but you know

34
00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:44,320
obviously back then it was my first

35
00:01:48,789 --> 00:01:46,159
flight it was uh

36
00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:48,799
seven days long and uh you know since

37
00:01:54,789 --> 00:01:51,920
then i've flown three times previous uh

38
00:01:58,149 --> 00:01:54,799
or subsequently durations of you know 13

39
00:02:00,469 --> 00:01:58,159
days 159 days and now uh you know this

40
00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:00,479
next this flight will be close to a year

41
00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:02,000
so they've been getting uh

42
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:04,479
larger and larger each time and i think

43
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:06,240
if i fly a fifth time it'll have to be

44
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:08,399
to mars to get that kind of duration

45
00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:10,000
that will be required to keep up the

46
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:15,350
before we go any further what what room

47
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:23,270
so i am in the the us destiny laboratory

48
00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:26,080
module which is like the main

49
00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:28,879
module for the u.s side of the space

50
00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:30,480
station it's a

51
00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:33,360
combination of laboratory and sort of

52
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:35,599
like the bridge of a ship

53
00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:37,120
i guess you could describe it with a lot

54
00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:39,360
of uh of the systems that are required

55
00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:41,120
to operate the space station are in here

56
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:46,869
and in case there are any conspiracy

57
00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:48,560
theorists out there how would you prove

58
00:03:00,149 --> 00:02:58,309
i would just do this for for a while and

59
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:00,159
unless i was falling that would be kind

60
00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:07,509
that's convinced me

61
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:09,680
when uh when george mallory was was

62
00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:11,280
asked why he climbed everest he said

63
00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:12,800
because it's there

64
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,480
is it a similar thing for you and going

65
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:16,560
to space what what motivates you to be

66
00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:23,110
you know i like uh like challenges and i

67
00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:26,480
was a navy uh pilot and test pilot and

68
00:03:30,070 --> 00:03:27,519
for me

69
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:30,080
flying in space seemed like the logical

70
00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:32,720
uh you know next step as far as you know

71
00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:35,680
things that would challenge me

72
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:37,599
but you know what i've come to root to

73
00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:39,680
find uh that

74
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:41,120
makes this a very

75
00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:43,840
satisfying experience and satisfying

76
00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:45,599
profession for me

77
00:03:49,589 --> 00:03:47,680
is doing something that's extremely

78
00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:49,599
extremely difficult having you know

79
00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:51,360
people live in space here and do the

80
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:52,959
type of work we do

81
00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:56,000
for the last 15 years is you know

82
00:04:00,869 --> 00:03:59,200
could arguably be more difficult

83
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:00,879
than than when we went to the moon

84
00:04:05,429 --> 00:04:03,040
building a space station space station

85
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:05,439
and operating it for so long and you

86
00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:07,760
know for me having the privilege to work

87
00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:09,519
in this program and being a part of

88
00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:12,159
something so hard is uh you know what

89
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:18,870
nasa has put a call out for those who

90
00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:20,560
might want to be astronauts what would

91
00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:22,160
you look for if you were on the hiring

92
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:28,230
so i was on the hiring committee last

93
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:31,280
time and uh we picked a great group

94
00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:34,320
and you know what we look for are people

95
00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:37,040
that are technically uh competent you

96
00:04:41,830 --> 00:04:37,919
need a

97
00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:41,840
a background in uh you know in the

98
00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:44,240
field whether it's as a scientist an

99
00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:46,080
engineer medical doctor

100
00:04:50,230 --> 00:04:48,560
or you know a person that's in the

101
00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:50,240
military with some kind of technical

102
00:04:53,030 --> 00:04:51,280
background

103
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:53,040
and we want those people to have proven

104
00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:54,880
themselves in their current profession

105
00:04:58,629 --> 00:04:56,800
being very high performers but also

106
00:05:00,870 --> 00:04:58,639
people that get along

107
00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:00,880
well as part of a team because this is a

108
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:02,720
huge team effort not just your crew

109
00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:04,880
members here on board but also with all

110
00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:06,560
the folks you have to work with on the

111
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:09,840
ground and you know just a really a

112
00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:13,280
diverse uh group of people with uh

113
00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:15,840
you know skills that are very broad

114
00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:17,919
um we have a lot of systems here on

115
00:05:21,749 --> 00:05:19,360
board the space station and we can't

116
00:05:24,150 --> 00:05:21,759
call a repairman when one of them breaks

117
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:24,160
so we have to be uh kind of generalists

118
00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:29,189
you're you've done hundreds of

119
00:05:32,070 --> 00:05:30,720
experiments or you're doing hundreds of

120
00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:32,080
experiments what's the coolest thing

121
00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:40,629
you know i it's kind of hard to say um

122
00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:42,240
if we're talking about

123
00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:44,639
uh this flight i would i would have to

124
00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:45,520
say

125
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:48,160
you know the two space walks i i got to

126
00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:50,560
do because i had never done those before

127
00:05:55,189 --> 00:05:52,800
and uh you know that's a very

128
00:05:57,270 --> 00:05:55,199
challenging experience i think in

129
00:05:59,670 --> 00:05:57,280
general uh you know the launch the

130
00:06:02,710 --> 00:05:59,680
landing are are pretty exciting as far

131
00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:02,720
as specific kind of research experiments

132
00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:05,840
um the stuff we've done with rodents are

133
00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:08,240
is pretty interesting as well as the

134
00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:10,720
human research that we're doing with uh

135
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:13,840
misha and i as part of this one-year

136
00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:16,000
research experiment uh you know the

137
00:06:21,189 --> 00:06:17,600
reason why we're here in space for a

138
00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:21,199
year has been pretty interesting stuff

139
00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:22,720
have you noticed any of the effects on

140
00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:25,840
space that you're there to uh to

141
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:33,590
you know a lot of the data we collect is

142
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:35,600
is stuff that has to be analyzed on the

143
00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:37,680
ground for instance we can't see

144
00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:41,680
uh you know bone loss uh

145
00:06:46,070 --> 00:06:43,600
ourselves you know that's something that

146
00:06:48,629 --> 00:06:46,080
uh you know we'll have to notice with uh

147
00:06:50,469 --> 00:06:48,639
with imaging technology when i get back

148
00:06:52,150 --> 00:06:50,479
but you know there are certain things we

149
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:52,160
could see with regards to muscle mass

150
00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:53,840
like the amount of muscle i've lost in

151
00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:55,360
my calf muscle

152
00:06:59,510 --> 00:06:57,440
uh because we don't walk up here is

153
00:07:01,189 --> 00:06:59,520
pretty significant

154
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:01,199
you know some effects on my vision

155
00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:03,120
initially although those have kind of

156
00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:04,479
leveled off and have been pretty

157
00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:07,360
consistent with what i had on my last

158
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:09,360
flight but we're also looking at you

159
00:07:12,950 --> 00:07:11,440
know the effects of this environment um

160
00:07:15,909 --> 00:07:12,960
the microgravity environment and the

161
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:15,919
radiation environment on

162
00:07:18,550 --> 00:07:17,280
on myself

163
00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:18,560
on a

164
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:23,520
affected and that's using my brother as

165
00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:24,720
a control

166
00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:26,400
subject on the ground so some of the

167
00:07:30,230 --> 00:07:28,240
things we can see you know i've seen

168
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:30,240
some muscle loss i've seen some muscle

169
00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:32,080
gain because the amount of exercise we

170
00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:33,520
do

171
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:35,440
but some of it's it's stuff that we'll

172
00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:37,280
have to analyze once i get back on the

173
00:07:45,029 --> 00:07:41,350
is it still a thrill to look out the

174
00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:46,790
yeah it's uh you know the earth is a

175
00:07:50,390 --> 00:07:48,879
very beautiful place it's uh you know

176
00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:50,400
thrilling to look at

177
00:07:54,150 --> 00:07:51,840
you know but like a lot of things you

178
00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:54,160
know if you see it often it's not as

179
00:07:57,749 --> 00:07:56,080
thrilling as the first time you've seen

180
00:08:02,629 --> 00:07:57,759
it but it's still uh

181
00:08:06,550 --> 00:08:04,950
have you been following the news from uh

182
00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:06,560
up there i mean if you watch what do you

183
00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:08,000
think of the presidential campaign

184
00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:09,360
that's going on

185
00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:16,869
yeah so we have uh have the news on um

186
00:08:20,309 --> 00:08:18,400
pretty much all the time unless we're

187
00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:20,319
watching something specific and we have

you're halfway through nearly a

224
00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:16,800
year-long mission is it ho hum for you

yeah christian um

227
00:10:29,509 --> 00:10:26,720
you know there are certain parts about

228
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:29,519
of about it that at certain times i do

229
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:31,680
kind of you know take a step back and i

230
00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:32,640
realize

231
00:10:37,269 --> 00:10:34,720
you know i'm living in space and doing

232
00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:37,279
uh you know this work that i consider a

233
00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:38,399
privilege

234
00:10:43,269 --> 00:10:42,320
um but we've been up here now over 260

235
00:10:46,069 --> 00:10:43,279
days

236
00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:46,079
so you know sometimes it um you know the

237
00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:48,720
daily routine is is somewhat of a

238
00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:51,360
routine but there are those moments that

239
00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:54,160
uh you know impress me and i'm sure meet

240
00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:02,230
let me ask you mikhail konyenko how does

241
00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:05,440
it feel to be up there so long nearly

242
00:11:30,069 --> 00:11:28,470
actually it's not six it's nine months

243
00:11:31,829 --> 00:11:30,079
so

244
00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:31,839
i i'm feeling fine

245
00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:35,519
besides my crew is just great wonderful

246
00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:37,279
all the crews that

247
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:39,440
worked on board with me are great

248
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:41,040
professionals

249
00:11:47,269 --> 00:11:44,880
of course as any of us i miss my family

250
00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:47,279
my home

251
00:11:53,269 --> 00:11:50,800
but i can say that i am happy

252
00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:53,279
excited and very proud to be entrusted

253
00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:59,269
let me ask you both as i love watching

254
00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:01,440
you float that microphone back and forth

255
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:04,160
to each other you are watching our

256
00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:07,600
planet with a view unlike anyone else in

257
00:12:11,910 --> 00:12:09,680
this universe right now

258
00:12:14,949 --> 00:12:11,920
and you've just seen a climate deal

259
00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:14,959
reached in paris about 200 nations

260
00:12:18,069 --> 00:12:16,399
signing on

261
00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:18,079
were you surprised that it would happen

262
00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:20,480
i know you lobbied for it and what is

263
00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:22,800
you know your take on the survival of

264
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:30,550
well you know a couple of things you

265
00:12:34,230 --> 00:12:32,480
know i was surprised on the agreement

266
00:12:36,389 --> 00:12:34,240
because just to get that many people to

267
00:12:37,750 --> 00:12:36,399
agree to anything is uh is pretty

268
00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:37,760
difficult so

269
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:39,760
you know in that regard it was uh you

270
00:12:44,550 --> 00:12:42,480
know a historic event and uh you know

271
00:12:46,629 --> 00:12:44,560
hopefully it'll continue to be supported

272
00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:46,639
it i i think it has to go back to you

273
00:12:49,829 --> 00:12:48,240
know all the individual countries and

274
00:12:51,509 --> 00:12:49,839
and still gain

275
00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:51,519
you know their support

276
00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:53,920
um you know with regards to the planet

277
00:12:57,590 --> 00:12:54,800
um

278
00:13:00,230 --> 00:12:57,600
you know having this uh vantage point

279
00:13:03,110 --> 00:13:00,240
from space you do see things

280
00:13:05,269 --> 00:13:03,120
uh like the thinness of the atmosphere

281
00:13:07,590 --> 00:13:05,279
that are alarming i mean it just looks

282
00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:07,600
very fragile

283
00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:08,800
we can

284
00:13:13,190 --> 00:13:11,200
you know see the effects of

285
00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:13,200
you know our presence on earth by

286
00:13:17,269 --> 00:13:14,720
looking out the window there's certain

287
00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:17,279
areas of of the globe that

288
00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:20,000
are almost constantly covered with uh

289
00:13:25,190 --> 00:13:22,399
with pollution we can see weather

290
00:13:27,269 --> 00:13:25,200
weather systems that uh you know don't

291
00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:27,279
normally occur in certain areas that we

292
00:13:31,190 --> 00:13:29,680
now see more commonly so

293
00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:31,200
you know i think it's uh you know

294
00:13:35,670 --> 00:13:33,360
something that's very important for you

295
00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:35,680
know the collective group of people that

296
00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:39,360
require this planet for them to survive

297
00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:41,360
you know it's kind of funny people say

298
00:13:45,430 --> 00:13:42,800
you know we need to save the earth i

299
00:13:47,189 --> 00:13:45,440
think what we need to save is us because

300
00:13:49,350 --> 00:13:47,199
you know the earth is probably going to

301
00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:49,360
last a long time but you know we need

302
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:52,320
the environment of the earth to be able

303
00:14:02,069 --> 00:13:59,829
good point let me ask you both

304
00:14:04,069 --> 00:14:02,079
obviously your two nations russia and

305
00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:04,079
the united states and many others

306
00:14:08,949 --> 00:14:06,240
cooperated on this agreement but they

307
00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:08,959
are at loggerheads on so many other big

308
00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:10,720
big issues today

309
00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:13,680
whether it's ukraine whether it's syria

310
00:14:19,350 --> 00:14:16,240
whatever it might be i'm just curious

311
00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:19,360
does politics play any role up there all

312
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:55,750
tomorrow

313
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,350
me

314
00:15:03,590 --> 00:15:01,509
well christian you know so clearly it's

315
00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:03,600
something where we're obviously aware of

316
00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:05,360
i mean we follow the news it's not

317
00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:06,720
something we

318
00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:09,680
generally uh discuss between each other

319
00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:12,720
although sometimes we do um

320
00:15:16,870 --> 00:15:14,560
you know what's most important to you

321
00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:16,880
know misha and i and our you know

322
00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:18,880
russian colleagues and then with us is

323
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:21,120
that we have to rely on each other

324
00:15:25,910 --> 00:15:23,920
literally for our lives and uh you know

325
00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:25,920
not only are we great friends but we are

326
00:15:29,509 --> 00:15:27,120
completely

327
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:29,519
reliant on each other

328
00:15:32,310 --> 00:15:31,440
you know if there's an emergency up here

329
00:15:34,069 --> 00:15:32,320
you know

330
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:34,079
that we have to take care of one another

331
00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:35,360
and that's

332
00:15:39,269 --> 00:15:36,959
for us the most

333
00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:39,279
you know important thing and you know we

334
00:15:44,389 --> 00:15:41,440
understand that there can be conflict at

335
00:15:45,910 --> 00:15:44,399
times between nations and you know i

336
00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:45,920
think one of the great things about this

337
00:15:50,710 --> 00:15:48,720
space station is we have demonstrated

338
00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:50,720
that you know two cultures that are you

339
00:15:54,230 --> 00:15:52,639
know somewhat different and then someone

340
00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:54,240
sometimes can be at odds with one

341
00:15:58,230 --> 00:15:56,399
another over certain things have

342
00:16:00,069 --> 00:15:58,240
demonstrated that they can work together

343
00:16:02,069 --> 00:16:00,079
in a very cooperative way it's something

344
00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:02,079
very very difficult for a long period of

345
00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:15,269
say that the international station is

346
00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:17,360
free of any politics

347
00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:20,160
we are very polite and always very

348
00:16:24,069 --> 00:16:22,079
considerate of

349
00:16:25,269 --> 00:16:24,079
each other in such discussions

350
00:16:28,069 --> 00:16:25,279
furthermore

351
00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:28,079
i would say that our work here and our

352
00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:30,880
cooperation on board the iss is a great

353
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:33,040
example for

354
00:16:38,550 --> 00:16:35,920
all politicians because if they spent at

355
00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:38,560
least one month on board together it

356
00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:40,800
would have probably resolved most of

357
00:16:43,990 --> 00:16:41,680
their

358
00:16:47,509 --> 00:16:44,000
uh problems and discussions on the

359
00:16:52,150 --> 00:16:49,670
well you've given me uh and the whole

360
00:16:54,310 --> 00:16:52,160
world now a whole great program maybe we

361
00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:54,320
should send them all up to space and and

362
00:16:59,110 --> 00:16:56,639
they can solve all the world's problems

363
00:17:00,150 --> 00:16:59,120
up there like you're working so hard

364
00:17:01,269 --> 00:17:00,160
what are

365
00:17:03,670 --> 00:17:01,279
some of the

366
00:17:05,510 --> 00:17:03,680
real kind of hardships for instance

367
00:17:07,429 --> 00:17:05,520
physically i understand you have to

368
00:17:09,909 --> 00:17:07,439
really work out

369
00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:09,919
hard in order not to atrophy for your

370
00:17:18,949 --> 00:17:17,110
yeah our bodies are pretty smart you

371
00:17:20,710 --> 00:17:18,959
know they recognize in this enviro

372
00:17:23,429 --> 00:17:20,720
microgravity environment that you don't

373
00:17:26,390 --> 00:17:23,439
need your skeleton to uh you know hold

374
00:17:27,270 --> 00:17:26,400
all your stuff together so we lose bone

375
00:17:30,390 --> 00:17:27,280
mass

376
00:17:32,150 --> 00:17:30,400
because we don't need it and

377
00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:32,160
likewise with your muscles so we have to

378
00:17:36,870 --> 00:17:34,000
do exercise to prevent

379
00:17:38,789 --> 00:17:36,880
uh to prevent that from from happening

380
00:17:40,870 --> 00:17:38,799
but you know there are other hardships

381
00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:40,880
too up here that that we you know we

382
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:43,280
deal with them we understand it and uh

383
00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:45,200
but the fact that you can't go outside i

384
00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:47,120
mean you can occasionally do a space

385
00:17:49,750 --> 00:17:48,880
walk but that's not like walking outside

386
00:17:54,549 --> 00:17:49,760
in the

387
00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:54,559
uh the kind of air that you experience

388
00:17:58,950 --> 00:17:57,200
on a on a daily basis the space station

389
00:18:00,870 --> 00:17:58,960
is nice but um

390
00:18:02,549 --> 00:18:00,880
you know there there's no running water

391
00:18:06,470 --> 00:18:02,559
you can't take a shower

392
00:18:09,190 --> 00:18:06,480
the diet is uh gets pretty routine so

393
00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:09,200
um you know all that is is something

394
00:18:13,029 --> 00:18:10,960
that we've learned to live with but we

395
00:18:15,029 --> 00:18:13,039
still understand that it's a it's a big

396
00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:15,039
privilege to represent our countries up

397
00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:20,950
