oh my goodness what a treat okay so

8
00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:31,439
joining us now from the international

9
00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:34,079
space station expedition 46 commander

10
00:00:38,869 --> 00:00:36,320
scott kelly and flight engineers tim

11
00:00:40,069 --> 00:00:38,879
copra and tim peake you guys thank you

12
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:40,079

well i just uh saw your christmas

15
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:50,079
message and i heard that you're orbiting

16
00:00:58,150 --> 00:00:52,640
the earth 16 times christmas day what

17
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:00,310
yeah we're going to orbit the the earth

18
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:04,080
16 times on new year's two and uh but uh

19
00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:05,760
all kidding aside we're gonna

20
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:07,520
you know we'll try to celebrate a little

21
00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:10,720
bit uh we have uh new year's day off

22
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:12,320
although it's not your typical new

23
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:14,080
year's eve like you might experience on

24
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:16,560
earth we still will uh you know reflect

25
00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:17,520
on

26
00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:20,000
the privilege of being up here and and

27
00:01:29,270 --> 00:01:26,429
right okay so i know that when we hit

28
00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:29,280
2016 that you have maybe about three

29
00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:31,200
more months until you complete your year

30
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:34,799
in space what does this mean for space

31
00:01:45,510 --> 00:01:42,469
well you know i hope uh

32
00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:45,520
we learned some things from this flight

33
00:01:50,870 --> 00:01:48,720
that will uh will help us get to mars uh

34
00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:50,880
there are some challenges not only

35
00:01:56,069 --> 00:01:52,960
uh you know with the primary reason that

36
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:56,079
misha and i are here with which is you

37
00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:57,600
know understanding

38
00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,280
you know the changes that occur in our

39
00:02:04,789 --> 00:02:01,920
own uh own physiology but also

40
00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:04,799
you know how to support uh crew members

41
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:07,280
uh whether it's psychologically or or

42
00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:10,000
with the life support systems here

43
00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:13,520
for an extended period of time so

44
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:15,760
you know when we do go to mars someday

45
00:02:19,750 --> 00:02:17,920
and we will i'm not sure exactly when

46
00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:19,760
but when we do

47
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:21,840
you know i hope that i can say and nasa

48
00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:23,200
can say that this

49
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:25,120
this mission this year in space that

50
00:02:28,309 --> 00:02:27,280
that misha and i have have spent has

51
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:28,319
been uh

52
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:31,200
you know helped a little bit uh in in

53
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:33,280
getting us there

54
00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:35,280
okay uh tim this question is for you

55
00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:36,959
what are some of the most difficult

56
00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:39,280
things i guess that in space that we

57
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:51,030
you know living in zero gravity is both

58
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:53,040
a blessing and a curse i mean it's a lot

59
00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:55,680
of fun to be in zero gravity but uh it

60
00:02:59,110 --> 00:02:57,280
makes it more difficult to keep track of

61
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,120
your things you have to be very diligent

62
00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:01,280
in where you leave things and

63
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:02,640
typically if you put something on a

64
00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:04,480
table back home it's not going to float

65
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,959
away so to be very diligent about that

66
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:08,640
and also you know we have to be very

67
00:03:12,390 --> 00:03:09,840
conscious that

68
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:12,400
the space station is is our environment

69
00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:14,080
and uh all the equipment we have on

70
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:16,000
board sustains our lives to be very

71
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:17,760
careful to make sure that we keep things

72
00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:22,309
and has

73
00:03:27,830 --> 00:03:24,159
this mission has it changed your

74
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:27,840
perspective on on creation on science

75
00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:41,110
well you know one thing that i uh have

76
00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:43,760
learned from from this experience so far

77
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:46,080
and actually you know more so from being

78
00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:48,879
a part of the space station program a

79
00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:51,519
space station that was built by many

80
00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:54,560
nations in uh in a very extreme

81
00:04:00,630 --> 00:03:57,120
environment and uh have has been

82
00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:00,640
occupied for the last 15 years

83
00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:02,640
and operated very successfully is that

84
00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:05,120
there is uh i think very

85
00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:06,239
little

86
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:09,200
uh limit to what people are capable of

87
00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:11,360
doing if they uh you know they put their

88
00:04:16,789 --> 00:04:13,599
minds to it and they work together in a

89
00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:16,799
very cooperative way and you know i just

90
00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:18,799
think this this program has been a great

91
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:20,880
example of what we can do in an

92
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:24,000
international collaborative effort to uh

93
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:25,440
you know better

94
00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:28,080
um you know our own lives and uh you

95
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:28,960
know

96
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:36,479
hopefully get us uh get us to mars and

97
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:42,070
that is excellent i spoke to some

98
00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:43,919
elementary middle school and high school

99
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:46,000
students and they wanted to know

100
00:04:50,469 --> 00:04:47,600
what you guys do for

101
00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:50,479
water and then how do you guys sleep

102
00:05:01,350 --> 00:04:59,110
well that's a great question and uh the

103
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:01,360
one great thing about the space station

104
00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:03,840
is the recycling and you know we're

105
00:05:07,909 --> 00:05:06,320
trying to make attempts to have 100

106
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:07,919
closed cycle which is what we're going

107
00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:10,720
to need on a future miles trip so we

108
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:12,960
recycle all of the condensation from

109
00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:15,360
when we exercise we recycle the vast

110
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:17,360
majority of our urine and it's all

111
00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:20,160
turned back into drinking water

112
00:05:24,790 --> 00:05:22,000
so that is how we're sustained with

113
00:05:26,469 --> 00:05:24,800
water up here in terms of sleeping it's

114
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:26,479
really up to the individual astronaut

115
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:28,400
i've only been here for two weeks now

116
00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:30,400
but uh i find that i like to just kind

117
00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:32,560
of zip up my sleeping bag and just uh

118
00:05:36,390 --> 00:05:34,960
float inside the crew quarters they're

119
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:36,400
not very big so it's not like you're

120
00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:38,880
going to go very far

121
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:40,639
oh wow

122
00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:42,639
and i i've seen you guys do some

123
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:44,960
somersaults some back flips

124
00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:46,880
one elementary school student wanted to

125
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:59,430
scott's the expert

126
00:06:04,830 --> 00:06:01,590
i can do a lot but i've been up here a

127
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:08,150
time i love it okay scott and then also

128
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:10,240
you tweeted back in august that your

129
00:06:15,590 --> 00:06:13,360
favorite team was the houston texans i

130
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:15,600
wanted to know is that houston still

131
00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:17,039
your favorite team you know we just beat

132
00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:24,230
of course that how can you ask that

133
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:26,960
question i'm from houston and uh i was

134
00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:28,560
watching the game yesterday that was

135
00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:31,039
pretty awesome to see that hopefully

136
00:06:35,189 --> 00:06:33,120
next weekend we'll secure a spot in the

137
00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:35,199
playoffs so pretty excited to see how

138
00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:37,039
this season has gone

139
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:38,639
has gone from uh

140
00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:40,160
you know pretty kind of scary in the

141
00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:42,479
beginning to to something that uh you

142
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:45,199
know is is turned around into a success

143
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:46,400
story

144
00:06:50,230 --> 00:06:48,240
yeah pretty out of this world i guess

145
00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:50,240
some might say you know some people grew

146
00:06:53,909 --> 00:06:52,319
up dreaming of becoming an astronaut

147
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:53,919
after spending almost a year in space

148
00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:56,960
and witnessing sunsets at about 240

149
00:07:04,950 --> 00:06:59,280
miles above earth what are your dreams

150
00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:07,589
so you know i guess

151
00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:09,680
my um

152
00:07:13,029 --> 00:07:11,280
i'm not sure if you're referring to my

153
00:07:15,189 --> 00:07:13,039
real dreams or just my dreams for the

154
00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:15,199
future uh

155
00:07:19,029 --> 00:07:17,120
kind of in uh you know more of a

156
00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:19,039
conceptual way but uh

157
00:07:22,950 --> 00:07:20,639
you know as far as dreams while i'm

158
00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:22,960
sleeping up here i have you know

159
00:07:26,150 --> 00:07:24,240
sometimes i have

160
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:26,160
earth dreams and sometimes space dreams

161
00:07:29,589 --> 00:07:28,080
and i when i was in the when i first got

162
00:07:31,029 --> 00:07:29,599
up here and the reason i know this is

163
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:31,039
because i was writing them down for a

164
00:07:34,070 --> 00:07:32,560
while and it kind of helped me remember

165
00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:34,080
because when i was up here last time

166
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:35,599
people asked me that question and i

167
00:07:39,350 --> 00:07:37,280
couldn't remember whether i dreamed of

168
00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:39,360
earth or space but

169
00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:42,400
but i do both and and now it's more you

170
00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:44,720
know earth-related but as far as you

171
00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:48,240
know my my my dreams for um

172
00:07:52,469 --> 00:07:50,800
you know what i want after i get back

173
00:07:53,589 --> 00:07:52,479
from this flight those kind of things

174
00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:53,599
you know

175
00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:55,680
you you do have a unique perspective up

176
00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:58,319
here it's this uh you know one of my

177
00:08:01,830 --> 00:08:00,240
colleagues described it as an orbital

178
00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:01,840
perspective a little bit different

179
00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:03,840
perspective on earth when you realize

180
00:08:07,909 --> 00:08:05,440
hey everything that's basically ever

181
00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:07,919
existed you know that we know we love

182
00:08:14,309 --> 00:08:11,280
people history it's right down there and

183
00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:14,319
it uh you know 250 miles below us and it

184
00:08:19,510 --> 00:08:16,639
it does give you a sense for

185
00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:19,520
yeah you know this more of a you know a

186
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:22,080
stewardship for the planet you know how

187
00:08:26,469 --> 00:08:24,080
you know we need to learn to work

188
00:08:29,430 --> 00:08:26,479
together better because we are all you

189
00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:29,440
know members of of team earth down there

190
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:31,039
and uh you know we just need to get

191
00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:33,440
along so my dreams would be that we do

192
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:36,320
just that we you know we we take care of

193
00:08:41,190 --> 00:08:38,880
ourselves each other better we take care

194
00:08:42,949 --> 00:08:41,200
of the planet better and you know that's

195
00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:42,959
what i hope for

196
00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:45,519

engineers tim kopra and tim peake

206
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:22,560
from the international space station not

207
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:23,839
every day we get your undivided

208
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,310
oh it's our pleasure

209
00:09:36,310 --> 00:09:34,150
so i have to ask you uh

210
00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:36,320
from astronaut peak's twitter page i see

211
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:38,720
that santa paid you a visit uh what did

212
00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:44,949
well you know we're very fortunate we

213
00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:47,200
have the benefit of a small allowance of

214
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:49,600
crew care package so really it was just

215
00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:52,160
some photographs and notes and letters

216
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:54,480
from friends and family uh all wishing

217
00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:56,720
us well on christmas and also a couple

218
00:10:03,430 --> 00:09:59,200
of extra food treats as well so i had

219
00:10:07,269 --> 00:10:05,750
oh lovely uh commander kelly i know this

220
00:10:09,110 --> 00:10:07,279
is your third christmas in space with

221
00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:09,120
santa nice to you what did you guys have

222
00:10:19,269 --> 00:10:17,670
well santa i guess was nice because i

223
00:10:20,550 --> 00:10:19,279
did get something

224
00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:20,560
um

225
00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:22,480
and our christmas dinner was you know we

226
00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:24,880
don't have special food sent up here for

227
00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:27,120
the holidays unfortunately so

228
00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:29,600
it was really just what we could kind of

229
00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:32,320
scavenge although tim did have some frog

230
00:10:36,310 --> 00:10:34,720
which was really good um which i guess

231
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:36,320
was was special

232
00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:37,600
um

233
00:10:42,389 --> 00:10:40,000
but uh you know generally it's just our

234
00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:42,399
normal menu and we kind of get the

235
00:10:47,509 --> 00:10:45,120
things out of it that sort of seem like

236
00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:47,519
you know holiday food like the

237
00:10:52,150 --> 00:10:50,880
the turkey cold cuts and

238
00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:52,160
some

239
00:10:57,670 --> 00:10:54,399
cornbread stuffing things like that it's

240
00:11:01,990 --> 00:11:00,150
frog is pretty fancy yeah mr cobra you

241
00:11:04,069 --> 00:11:02,000
just arrived in the sixth place six days

242
00:11:08,870 --> 00:11:04,079
later you were forced to do the space

243
00:11:12,550 --> 00:11:10,150
you know actually i wouldn't term it as

244
00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:12,560
uh being forced to do it because uh you

245
00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:14,160
know it's one of the the highlights of

246
00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:15,920
any time that we're able to to have a

247
00:11:19,670 --> 00:11:17,600
trip to space to be able to do a space

248
00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:19,680
walk and uh we actually had a pretty

249
00:11:23,910 --> 00:11:22,000
busy first couple of weeks but then uh

250
00:11:25,430 --> 00:11:23,920
christmas was off and and the weekend

251
00:11:27,829 --> 00:11:25,440
was mostly off so we've had time to

252
00:11:29,350 --> 00:11:27,839
recover and uh tim peake and i will be

253
00:11:32,949 --> 00:11:29,360
preparing for another spacewalk here

254
00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:36,389
you guys see earth from such a different

255
00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:37,600
point of view

256
00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:39,760
has your perspective from outer space

257
00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:42,480
influenced your belief system

258
00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:44,240
uh politics

259
00:11:50,629 --> 00:11:46,079
feelings about the environment i'll

260
00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:52,870
well you know it does and and one of our

261
00:11:58,550 --> 00:11:55,360
colleagues uh described it as like you

262
00:11:59,670 --> 00:11:58,560
said this this orbital perspective where

263
00:12:01,670 --> 00:11:59,680
um

264
00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:01,680
you know every everybody

265
00:12:06,949 --> 00:12:04,639
every person that's ever lived every uh

266
00:12:09,190 --> 00:12:06,959
thing that's basically every ever

267
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:09,200
happened minus a few

268
00:12:13,829 --> 00:12:12,160
have occurred 250 miles below us and you

269
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:13,839
know when we look out at the earth we

270
00:12:18,710 --> 00:12:14,560
see

271
00:12:21,030 --> 00:12:18,720
an atmosphere that looks very fragile

272
00:12:23,269 --> 00:12:21,040
we see you know lately like on this

273
00:12:24,949 --> 00:12:23,279
flight i've noticed a lot of uh you know

274
00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:24,959
weather systems that you

275
00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:27,040
and weather phenomena that occur that

276
00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:28,880
you wouldn't expect to see in certain

277
00:12:32,949 --> 00:12:30,079
areas

278
00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:32,959
um you know you see deforestation you

279
00:12:38,310 --> 00:12:36,000
see wildfires you see smog over certain

280
00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:38,320
parts of the world that you know is

281
00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:41,040
there practically continuously so it

282
00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:42,880
does give you this uh

283
00:12:46,629 --> 00:12:44,720
you know a sense that we need to take

284
00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:46,639
care of the earth because you know it's

285
00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:48,160
the uh you know it's the only thing

286
00:12:52,470 --> 00:12:51,200
that's keeping everyone down there alive

287
00:12:55,110 --> 00:12:52,480
and uh

288
00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:55,120
you know we it does look like we are all

289
00:13:00,870 --> 00:12:57,839
part of one big you know

290
00:13:02,629 --> 00:13:00,880
big team big you know one country there

291
00:13:05,509 --> 00:13:02,639
are no political borders when you look

292
00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:05,519
uh look down at the planet so

293
00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:07,040
it does give you this sense that we need

294
00:13:10,629 --> 00:13:09,120
to kind of treat each other better take

295
00:13:13,350 --> 00:13:10,639
care of each other i follow the news

296
00:13:15,910 --> 00:13:13,360
very closely up here and uh

297
00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:15,920
and it's it's mostly bad all the time

298
00:13:19,430 --> 00:13:16,720
and

299
00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:19,440
so it does give you a little bit

300
00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:25,509
yeah same question to you uh tim the mr

301
00:13:36,069 --> 00:13:33,670
i think really just to back up what

302
00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:36,079
scott said there it's it is a unique

303
00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:38,480
perspective it's a unique view

304
00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:40,000
it's incredibly stunning incredibly

305
00:13:45,110 --> 00:13:41,760
beautiful the first thing that struck me

306
00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:45,120
when i saw the earth from space was just

307
00:13:50,389 --> 00:13:47,600
how tiny and fragile our atmosphere is

308
00:13:52,470 --> 00:13:50,399
it's the thinnest band um surrounding

309
00:13:54,629 --> 00:13:52,480
planet earth and it makes you realize

310
00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:54,639
that uh you know we we really do need to

311
00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:57,440
uh take care of our fragile atmosphere

312
00:14:02,069 --> 00:13:59,839
um and i think it it kind of gives you

313
00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:02,079
that perspective of seeing the earth you

314
00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:04,000
know as a whole planet

315
00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:06,240
with interconnected weather systems and

316
00:14:14,949 --> 00:14:08,800
water systems and a real respect for the

317
00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:16,550
it's really hard to add much to that but

318
00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:18,320
i think one thing that uh is very

319
00:14:22,230 --> 00:14:19,920
striking to astronauts when we come up

320
00:14:25,350 --> 00:14:22,240
here is not just the earth but how black

321
00:14:27,910 --> 00:14:25,360
it is in space and so uh we recognize

322
00:14:29,350 --> 00:14:27,920
that uh what we have is what we have and

323
00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:29,360
beyond that is

324
00:14:33,990 --> 00:14:31,600
is our vast distances to the the next

325
00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:34,000
planet or even the next celestial bodies

326
00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:35,920
so we need to do our part to take care

327
00:14:44,629 --> 00:14:41,670
commander kelly i know you're on day 276

328
00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:44,639
in space you've broken a record what has

329
00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:46,320
that amount of time and space done to

330
00:14:53,829 --> 00:14:48,560
your body that you've noticed and also

331
00:14:59,189 --> 00:14:55,430
you know a lot of the data we're

332
00:15:01,110 --> 00:14:59,199
collecting is uh is stuff that is

333
00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:01,120
you know via blood draws and other

334
00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:04,079
samples imaging data

335
00:15:08,710 --> 00:15:05,760
the science that's involved in this

336
00:15:12,629 --> 00:15:08,720
one-year stay is looking at me and on a

337
00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:12,639
genetic level our bone loss muscle uh

338
00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:16,959
loss uh or gain and in some cases and uh

339
00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:19,440
you know effects on our immune system

340
00:15:24,069 --> 00:15:21,920
um and like you said your your psyche

341
00:15:26,069 --> 00:15:24,079
from a uh

342
00:15:27,189 --> 00:15:26,079
you know a psychological perspective so

343
00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:27,199
a lot of that

344
00:15:31,269 --> 00:15:29,120
data is not something that

345
00:15:33,829 --> 00:15:31,279
that you can see it's something that's

346
00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:33,839
measured in a in a laboratory and in

347
00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:35,519
some cases will be

348
00:15:41,910 --> 00:15:39,360
uh not even you know written about or uh

349
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:41,920
you know analyzed until i get back so

350
00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:43,519
you know there are some changes you

351
00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:46,160
notice uh you know we exercise a lot so

352
00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:48,399
you notice you know muscle gain in

353
00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:50,320
certain areas and loss in other areas

354
00:15:54,790 --> 00:15:52,240
you know we don't we don't walk so you

355
00:15:56,230 --> 00:15:54,800
know your calves get get kind of

356
00:15:58,389 --> 00:15:56,240
small

357
00:16:00,550 --> 00:15:58,399
from you know not having to support your

358
00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:00,560
weight and walk around for a while

359
00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:02,720
uh from a psychological perspective i'm

360
00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:04,560
doing fine you know i'll have no problem

361
00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:06,639
making in making it to the end of this

362
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:09,279
experience although i do feel like i've

363
00:16:13,509 --> 00:16:11,680
lived my whole life up here now and uh

364
00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:13,519
and you know look forward to getting

365
00:16:19,509 --> 00:16:18,310
you will be home very soon in march what

366
00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:19,519
is the first thing you're going to eat

367
00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:28,389
yeah that's a good question i

368
00:16:32,470 --> 00:16:30,240
haven't thought that far yet i'm not

369
00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:32,480
counting down the days yet so i'll let

370
00:16:35,990 --> 00:16:33,920

382
00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:10,400

388
00:17:28,069 --> 00:17:26,630
