hi my name is hannah my question for you

13
00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:41,600
is after spending a year viewing the air

14
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:43,600
through your window what message or

15
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:45,520
advice would you have for the students

16
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:55,430
i think you know the advice i would have

17
00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:58,800
for for anyone that wants to be a uh

18
00:01:03,189 --> 00:01:01,440
you know leader in our country or for

19
00:01:04,789 --> 00:01:03,199
for that matter around the world would

20
00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:04,799
be to uh

21
00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:06,159
you know pick

22
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:06,960
a

23
00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:32,320
to society more so uh

24
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,680
you know i think the best advice i would

25
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:35,600
give is just choose choose something

26
00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:38,240
that interests interests you and then uh

27
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:47,429
hello my name is ryan benson and my

28
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:49,600
question for you is what is the weirdest

29
00:01:59,990 --> 00:01:59,109
the weirdest thing i've seen in space

30
00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:00,000
huh

31
00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:01,680
interesting so

32
00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:03,520
i guess you're

33
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:05,200
assuming maybe

34
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:08,640
by looking out the window um and not

35
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:10,640
inside here there's

36
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:13,680
not uh you know this is a uh

37
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:16,080
it's an interesting place it's uh in

38
00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:18,720
some ways it's kind of magical you know

39
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:21,120
with everything floating

40
00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:22,720
but um

41
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:24,959
i wouldn't say there's much uh weirdness

42
00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:25,760
here

43
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:30,000
out the window you know certainly uh

44
00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:31,760
you know there are times where you see

45
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:34,560
some you know phenomena with you know

46
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:35,440
the

47
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:38,640
background of of stars and

48
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:42,160
uh planets and stuff as they as they

49
00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:44,480
pass through the uh the atmosphere and

50
00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:46,959
the horizon that look uh

51
00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:49,440
they look uh you know kind of strange

52
00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:51,360
but uh you know as

53
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:53,280
as they come up in the sky they start to

54
00:02:57,509 --> 00:02:55,200
not look normal again

55
00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:57,519
um

56
00:03:04,470 --> 00:02:59,440
so

57
00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:04,480
pretty spectacular things with uh you

58
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:06,080
know looking out the window certainly

59
00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:08,560
the uh the aurora that we see sometimes

60
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,319
actually we're seeing seeing a little

61
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:12,640
bit of that right now and uh you know

62
00:03:16,149 --> 00:03:15,120
it's affected by the uh the activity of

63
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:16,159
the sun

64
00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:17,280
um

65
00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:19,120
but also some

66
00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:20,640
you know some of the rockets that have

67
00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:22,480
launched towards the space station we've

68
00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:24,879
seen that from the space station

69
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:27,599
and uh also looks uh looks very

70
00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:35,030
question for you is what have you

71
00:03:38,309 --> 00:03:36,560
learned about your body reacting and

72
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:38,319
adapting to the harsh environment of

73
00:03:50,789 --> 00:03:48,869
so um

74
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:50,799
there are some things that go on with

75
00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:53,360
our physiology up here due to the

76
00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:56,239
microgravity environment mostly and uh

77
00:04:00,630 --> 00:03:58,480
you lose bone mass and

78
00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:00,640
you know some muscle all the muscle mass

79
00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:02,480
although we do have exercises that we

80
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:05,120
try to uh prevent both of those things

81
00:04:10,949 --> 00:04:05,920
from

82
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:10,959
immune system and and our vision

83
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:12,080
and uh

84
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:13,680
but you know one of the reasons we're

85
00:04:16,789 --> 00:04:15,360
here is to study those so we can learn

86
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:16,799
more about them and

87
00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:18,959
and develop ways to

88
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:21,680
prevent them or to do a better job at

89
00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:23,680
preventing them so

90
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:25,120
someday

91
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:28,800
maybe in in your future we can go on to

92
00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:31,280
mars or or other places that'll take

93
00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:32,479
much longer and that's one of the

94
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:33,840
reasons why

95
00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:36,400
my russian colleague misha kornienko and

96
00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:39,440
i are up here for a whole year is to try

97
00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:41,120
to better understand

98
00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:43,759
what's going on with our physiology and

99
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:53,189
hello my name is morgan and stacy my

100
00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:55,360
question for you is what is the number

101
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:02,150
i'm sorry can you say that again the

102
00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:04,320
number one what

103
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:11,350
the number one rule

104
00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:13,600
i think you're saying is that is that

105
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:21,909
i have never been asked that question

106
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:23,600
before i've been asked a lot of

107
00:05:28,469 --> 00:05:25,520
questions

108
00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:31,350
be nice to other people and eat all your

109
00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:47,990
hello my name is faith braley my

110
00:05:51,749 --> 00:05:49,840
question for you is now that humans have

111
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:51,759
lived on the space station continuously

112
00:05:58,950 --> 00:05:53,440
for 15 years what are the plans for the

113
00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:00,309
so

114
00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:03,199
nasa is building a new new rocket and a

115
00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:05,440
new spacecraft that

116
00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:07,520
you'd all be able to take us out of low

117
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:09,840
earth orbit and

118
00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:11,280
you know currently we're working on

119
00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:13,440
plans towards

120
00:06:17,749 --> 00:06:16,080
going to an asteroid there are also

121
00:06:19,189 --> 00:06:17,759
other

122
00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:19,199
plans

123
00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:22,240
that we've been you know discussing

124
00:06:25,029 --> 00:06:23,039
for

125
00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:25,039
decades now since

126
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:27,680
uh people have you know basically since

127
00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:29,199
people have flown in space we've been

128
00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:30,960
talking about uh

129
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:33,360
going to mars and you know i hope in the

130
00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:35,600
in the future those plans will be

131
00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:39,120
more solidified um but i think between

132
00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:41,120
you know what nasa's doing in the forms

133
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:43,600
of you know developing a vehicle for

134
00:06:50,469 --> 00:06:46,400
exploration and to you know to go to

135
00:06:51,909 --> 00:06:50,479
other places maybe the moon maybe mars

136
00:06:55,029 --> 00:06:51,919
to retrieve

137
00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:55,039
and do science with an asteroid is also

138
00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:57,120
part of the plan like i said there's

139
00:07:01,350 --> 00:06:59,440
also some very exciting things go on

140
00:07:03,029 --> 00:07:01,360
going on in the uh

141
00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:03,039
you know the commercial

142
00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:07,120
uh space sector where where nasa has uh

143
00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:09,280
you know has partnered or

144
00:07:14,710 --> 00:07:11,759
basically hired certain companies to

145
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:14,720
provide commercial services to the

146
00:07:19,589 --> 00:07:16,880
international space station and we have

147
00:07:22,950 --> 00:07:19,599
we have a vehicle here

148
00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:22,960
from from a company that that built a

149
00:07:26,790 --> 00:07:23,759
this

150
00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:26,800
resupply craft called cygnus and there's

151
00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:29,360
also companies like spacex that are

152
00:07:33,629 --> 00:07:31,440
developing uh

153
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:33,639
in addition to

154
00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:36,400
unmanned vehicles also

155
00:07:40,629 --> 00:07:38,400
the ability to take astronauts to and

156
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:40,639
from the international space station or

157
00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:43,440
other places in space so i think the the

158
00:07:47,749 --> 00:07:45,599
the future of space

159
00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:47,759
both in the commercial

160
00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:49,840
realm but also within the government and

161
00:07:59,510 --> 00:07:57,270
hello my name is alyssa haynes my

162
00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:59,520
question for you is what inspired you to

163
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:00,960
risk your life to go to space and

164
00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:09,430
well for one i think it's it's important

165
00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:11,120
you know i think what we're doing here

166
00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:12,800
is

167
00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:14,720
you know pushing the boundaries of of

168
00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:17,919
what people are capable of doing from a

169
00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:19,199
uh

170
00:08:25,830 --> 00:08:23,759
you know the

171
00:08:28,469 --> 00:08:25,840
human performance

172
00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:28,479
standpoint as far as living in

173
00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:30,960
in this environment which is uh

174
00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:33,680
which is pretty harsh so

175
00:08:38,709 --> 00:08:35,680
you know the reason i would risk

176
00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:38,719
basically everything um

177
00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:40,479
is you know

178
00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:42,560
as far as you know like a personal you

179
00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:44,560
know personal safety and per personal

180
00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:45,440
health

181
00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:48,240
perspective is because i do believe in

182
00:08:52,790 --> 00:08:49,440
it and i think it's important and i

183
00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:52,800
think by doing things like this it uh

184
00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:54,399
you know it it provides

185
00:08:58,710 --> 00:08:56,160
a uh

186
00:08:59,430 --> 00:08:58,720
you know a stimulus to our economy and

187
00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:59,440
uh

188
00:09:03,269 --> 00:09:01,279
you know causes us to develop things

189
00:09:05,430 --> 00:09:03,279
that are you know

190
00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:05,440
we couldn't even imagine

191
00:09:09,190 --> 00:09:07,200
um

192
00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:09,200
you know years ago for instance you know

193
00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:11,440
when we made the computers to land on

194
00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:12,560
the moon

195
00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:14,000
uh we had to make them small and

196
00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:16,240
powerful and you know by

197
00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:18,160
continuing to make small and powerful

198
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:20,160
computers today you have

199
00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:22,880
you know a computer in your pocket

200
00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:24,800
perhaps in the form of your telephone

201
00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:26,320
that is much more

202
00:09:31,110 --> 00:09:29,200
um it's something that the men that

203
00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:31,120
walked on the moon

204
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:33,680
uh couldn't even have imagined so you

205
00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:36,640
know i think that's why i do this plus

206
00:09:42,710 --> 00:09:37,360
it's

207
00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:45,910
hello my name is brody and my question

208
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:49,040
for you is what are the procedures if

209
00:10:01,430 --> 00:09:59,670
so we have a pretty uh sophisticated

210
00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:01,440
communication system and we do have

211
00:10:07,509 --> 00:10:04,560
procedures that that cover that we have

212
00:10:09,269 --> 00:10:07,519
various ways to to talk to the ground

213
00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:09,279
and

214
00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:12,240
we our systems are redundant so that

215
00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:14,880
means if one of them fails we have a

216
00:10:19,990 --> 00:10:17,440
completely identical

217
00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:20,000
other one that we can use

218
00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:23,519
and then if both of those fail we have a

219
00:10:26,630 --> 00:10:25,440
other system that we can communicate

220
00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:26,640
that is

221
00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:31,430
and we also have the ability to

222
00:10:35,910 --> 00:10:34,880
communicate with a vhf radio that's on

223
00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:35,920
the

224
00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:40,399
when we're over ground sites not

225
00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:42,160
through our normal way which is through

226
00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:44,640
satellites it's also a ham radio on

227
00:10:49,590 --> 00:10:46,560
board that we could really use if we had

228
00:10:51,509 --> 00:10:49,600
no other alternative i've had situations

229
00:10:53,590 --> 00:10:51,519
up here when we have lost communication

230
00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:53,600
with the ground and we've you know

231
00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:55,519
worked through the procedures and it's

232
00:10:59,350 --> 00:10:56,800
gotten calm

233
00:11:01,509 --> 00:10:59,360
the ability to talk to the ground back

234
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:01,519
at times it hasn't even been issues with

235
00:11:04,389 --> 00:11:03,440
the space station it's been issues with

236
00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:04,399
the uh

237
00:11:07,430 --> 00:11:06,399
you know the hardware on the ground that

238
00:11:09,670 --> 00:11:07,440
uh

239
00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:09,680
that allow us to communicate with them

240
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:11,120
so uh

241
00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:13,600
we have uh nasa's pretty good at having

242
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:15,920
a lot of backups to the uh

243
00:11:25,829 --> 00:11:23,430
hello my name is alex my question for

244
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:25,839
you is how does the vacuum of space

245
00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:36,630
so a lot of the communication like

246
00:11:40,829 --> 00:11:38,240
well i'll answer this in two ways you

247
00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:40,839
know there's the radio communication and

248
00:11:47,829 --> 00:11:44,800
those uh electromagnetic signals travel

249
00:11:50,150 --> 00:11:47,839
great in the vacuum of space there is no

250
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:50,160
problem at all and

251
00:11:54,310 --> 00:11:52,320
you know that's how a cell phone might

252
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:54,320
go from

253
00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:57,519
uh your hand to a cell phone tower which

254
00:12:02,150 --> 00:12:00,160
would eventually go to a satellite dish

255
00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:02,160
which would go to a satellite and maybe

256
00:12:07,110 --> 00:12:04,639
back to the ground and when it's going

257
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:07,120
through to the satellite it goes through

258
00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:09,360
the vacuum of space and it's just works

259
00:12:16,470 --> 00:12:13,990
however you know in a vacuum there is no

260
00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:16,480
air so sound waves wouldn't travel you

261
00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:18,000
know if there was a

262
00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:20,160
an astronaut

263
00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:23,120
you know on the outside of this

264
00:12:27,829 --> 00:12:25,360
module in a spacesuit

265
00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:27,839
and i banged on the side of it there's

266
00:12:31,829 --> 00:12:30,320
no way that he would ever be he or she

267
00:12:32,949 --> 00:12:31,839
would ever be able to hear me because

268
00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:32,959
those

269
00:12:39,269 --> 00:12:36,800
travel through a vacuum because they

270
00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:39,279
sound waves need something to travel on

271
00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:40,560
essentially

272
00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:42,880
and that is you know air

273
00:12:47,190 --> 00:12:44,720
so uh

274
00:12:49,110 --> 00:12:47,200
yeah so from our perspective it works

275
00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:49,120
pretty well because we use radio

276
00:12:52,710 --> 00:12:51,360
communication when we're outside and we

277
00:12:56,949 --> 00:12:52,720
wouldn't want to be outside the space

278
00:13:02,150 --> 00:12:59,750
hello my name is kai stavalepsi and i'm

279
00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:02,160
i'm clifford and i'm titus

280
00:13:07,269 --> 00:13:05,120
our question for you is how does it feel

281
00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:07,279
to float 24 7.

282
00:13:13,829 --> 00:13:08,959
sometimes do you just want to put your

283
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:16,710
yeah so you know floating is definitely

284
00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:19,279
uh fun but

285
00:13:24,550 --> 00:13:22,079
it makes a lot of things we do more

286
00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:24,560
complicated and uh

287
00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:25,839
and harder

288
00:13:31,670 --> 00:13:29,440
um you definitely you know over time

289
00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:31,680
the more you're here you definitely get

290
00:13:35,829 --> 00:13:34,160
get better at it and you can move around

291
00:13:38,310 --> 00:13:35,839
very easily

292
00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:38,320
with your feet and it's almost in a lot

293
00:13:42,870 --> 00:13:39,760
of ways like

294
00:13:45,189 --> 00:13:42,880
you know i i can kind of walk

295
00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:45,199
around the space station but i

296
00:13:51,990 --> 00:13:48,480
definitely miss a lot of things that

297
00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:52,000
that gravity provide for us

298
00:13:55,509 --> 00:13:53,600
the other thing about gravity is that

299
00:13:57,990 --> 00:13:55,519
you might not expect is because you're

300
00:13:59,110 --> 00:13:58,000
holding yourself up against gravity all

301
00:14:01,030 --> 00:13:59,120
day long

302
00:14:03,269 --> 00:14:01,040
when you when it's time to go to sleep

303
00:14:04,790 --> 00:14:03,279
and you go lie down or even just sitting

304
00:14:07,750 --> 00:14:04,800
down and on a

305
00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:07,760
comfortable couch

306
00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:10,720
it's relaxing here this position i'm in

307
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:12,000
now

308
00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:14,240
talking to you or or

309
00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:16,160
you know doing some other activity is

310
00:14:20,629 --> 00:14:18,480
the same kind of position i'm going to

311
00:14:22,550 --> 00:14:20,639
be in when it's time to go to sleep

312
00:14:24,949 --> 00:14:22,560
and you just close your eyes and try to

313
00:14:27,189 --> 00:14:24,959
go to sleep so there's no real change in

314
00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:27,199
how you feel

315
00:14:31,189 --> 00:14:28,399
from a

316
00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:31,199
comfort or relaxation perspective it's

317
00:14:35,509 --> 00:14:33,600
all the same all the time you're always

318
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:35,519
just floating so there are some things

319
00:14:40,069 --> 00:14:37,920
about gravity that you might not

320
00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:40,079
might not think of that make gravity

321
00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:45,829
hello my name is hannah kuhn my question

322
00:14:50,069 --> 00:14:47,760
for you is since station is a

323
00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:50,079
microgravity environment can you explain

324
00:14:58,470 --> 00:14:51,760
how it feels to breathe your earth's

325
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,230
can you ask that one more time

326
00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:04,550
since station is a microgravity

327
00:15:08,949 --> 00:15:06,720
environment can you explain how it feels

328
00:15:18,069 --> 00:15:08,959
to re-enter earth's atmosphere and the

329
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:21,350
i think your question

330
00:15:28,790 --> 00:15:23,199
has to do with the space station

331
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:34,949
just you

332
00:15:34,959 --> 00:15:40,710
how does it feel when you well so

333
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:43,269
oh when we re-enter the earth i'm sorry

334
00:15:45,829 --> 00:15:44,320
it's

335
00:15:47,430 --> 00:15:45,839
having a little bit of a hard time

336
00:15:49,509 --> 00:15:47,440
hearing you how does it feel when we

337
00:15:52,949 --> 00:15:49,519
re-enter so yeah we're floating around

338
00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:52,959
24 hours a day seven days a week in my

339
00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:56,160
case for for almost a year up here

340
00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:58,079
and when you re-enter the atmosphere you

341
00:16:01,910 --> 00:15:59,199
definitely

342
00:16:03,670 --> 00:16:01,920
feel gravity's full effect

343
00:16:07,110 --> 00:16:03,680
um

344
00:16:08,710 --> 00:16:07,120
we're going 17 500 miles an hour

345
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:08,720
and uh

346
00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:11,680
we have to slow down and the and the way

347
00:16:17,030 --> 00:16:14,560
the capsule slows down is with friction

348
00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:17,040
uh hitting the atmosphere

349
00:16:21,990 --> 00:16:19,279
and because of that there's a lot of

350
00:16:23,430 --> 00:16:22,000
deceleration so we'll feel you know five

351
00:16:26,470 --> 00:16:23,440
six times

352
00:16:28,069 --> 00:16:26,480
maybe the force of of gravity as we're

353
00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:28,079
we're re-entering the atmosphere in the

354
00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:30,480
soyuz and it makes it hard to move it's

355
00:16:34,550 --> 00:16:32,720
kind of hard to breathe for a while

356
00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:34,560
but uh and then when you get on the

357
00:16:40,470 --> 00:16:37,120
ground you definitely feel you know

358
00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:40,480
pretty heavy for a while and but after a

359
00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:42,480
few days you get used to it and it

360
00:16:51,430 --> 00:16:48,829
hello my name

361
00:16:53,509 --> 00:16:51,440
is my question for you is if you had the

362
00:17:01,110 --> 00:16:53,519
choice to live on mars for most of your

363
00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:04,549
um so if we're talking about mars that

364
00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:07,280
was somehow

365
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:09,439
what i think is referred to as terror

366
00:17:14,870 --> 00:17:12,000
forming in other words you take mars

367
00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:14,880
and you affect its uh

368
00:17:19,429 --> 00:17:17,280
you know what minimal atmosphere it has

369
00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:19,439
and somehow make it into an earth-like

370
00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:22,160
atmosphere then i would uh

371
00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:24,160
i would definitely consider it but if

372
00:17:28,309 --> 00:17:26,160
you're asking if i would go to mars like

373
00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:28,319
it is now and live

374
00:17:33,029 --> 00:17:31,280
in a uh in some kind of a habitat on the

375
00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:33,039
surface that would probably be very

376
00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:34,240
similar

377
00:17:39,669 --> 00:17:37,840
to this space station and

378
00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:39,679
when you went outside you'd have to be

379
00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:40,400
in

380
00:17:44,390 --> 00:17:41,760
you know a

381
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:44,400
space suit probably not exactly like the

382
00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:47,200
ones we wear when we go on spacewalks

383
00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:48,960
here but something that would protect

384
00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:50,720
you from the fact that there is very

385
00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:53,600
little atmosphere on mars very low

386
00:17:58,630 --> 00:17:55,600
atmospheric pressure

387
00:18:01,270 --> 00:17:58,640
a atmosphere that is not

388
00:18:02,549 --> 00:18:01,280
you know we cannot breathe um and

389
00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:02,559
survive

390
00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:04,880
i would say no i wouldn't want to spend

391
00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:07,520
uh you know most of the rest of my life

392
00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:08,960
there i definitely

393
00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:10,720
you know consider

394
00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:12,960
visiting um

395
00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:14,720
but i wouldn't uh

396
00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:16,480
you know want to give up everything

397
00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:18,640
earth has to offer to

398
00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:20,400
live inside of a

399
00:18:30,549 --> 00:18:28,230
hello my name is dija my question for

400
00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:30,559

00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:47,039
in being a medical doctor but my

404
00:18:53,190 --> 00:18:50,320
my grades and my study habits were never

405
00:18:54,070 --> 00:18:53,200
quite uh good enough at that time

406
00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:54,080
