1
00:00:04,870 --> 00:00:02,070
station this is houston are you ready

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,870
we are ready for the event

3
00:00:12,230 --> 00:00:10,230
the weather channel this is mission

4
00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:12,240
control houston please call station for

5
00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:16,870
station this is a weather channel how do

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,310
we read you loud and clear how about us

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,150
ah great

8
00:00:33,190 --> 00:00:29,669
okay so i'm gonna start you guys off

9
00:00:38,549 --> 00:00:33,200
with um what is a day in the life on the

10
00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:40,869
we know every day here is pretty busy we

11
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:44,000
get up around 6 or 6 30 depends some of

12
00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:45,600
us get up earlier some you know a little

13
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:47,120
bit closer to our daily planning

14
00:00:51,189 --> 00:00:49,120
conference which begins usually around 7

15
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:51,199
30 and then we're off to the races we

16
00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:53,360
have a very full schedule of science

17
00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:55,280
maintenance we exercise for about two

18
00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:57,360
and a half hours a day and so that takes

19
00:01:00,389 --> 00:00:59,199
us all the way up to the evening daily

20
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:00,399
planning conference which is usually

21
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:03,280
around 7 30. and in between there we fit

22
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:06,000
in photographs maybe a phone call and

23
00:01:09,429 --> 00:01:07,680
then at night time it's really just

24
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:09,439
catching up with the day so we have a

25
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:12,960
very full schedule up here

26
00:01:16,950 --> 00:01:14,880
okay so speaking of working out and

27
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:16,960
photographs i have to ask tim peake a

28
00:01:22,149 --> 00:01:19,360
couple of questions first off running

29
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:22,159
the london marathon uh leave it to me to

30
00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:24,000
add to think what happens to all your

31
00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:26,400
sweat when you're running um or do you

32
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:28,400
not sweat in space or what is it does

33
00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:29,520
this like sweat all over the

34
00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:36,310
yeah that's a that's a great question

35
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:39,280
well firstly yes we do sweat in space uh

36
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:41,520
probably maybe even more so than uh back

37
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:43,040
on earth because there's not as much

38
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:45,040
airflow up here and it's a bit warmer on

39
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:48,000
board the space station but we recycle

40
00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:50,399
all of that uh moisture that we breathe

41
00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:52,000
out and that we sweat out it all gets

42
00:01:57,030 --> 00:01:54,240
absorbed back into the space station's

43
00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:57,040
atmosphere it gets cleaned recycled and

44
00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:58,719
we drink it again probably the next day

45
00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:01,119
or maybe 48 hours later

46
00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:03,040
in space of course those the sweat

47
00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:05,040
doesn't work that efficiently it doesn't

48
00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:06,880
drip off you it just kind of pulls in

49
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:09,200
big globules and for me it kind of goes

50
00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:10,959
to the top of my head so i'm constantly

51
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:12,879
mopping the top of my head with a towel

52
00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:14,560
when i'm on a long run to get rid of all

53
00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:18,790
okay so i want to talk about some of the

54
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:21,440
pictures and tim you took one of a

55
00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:23,680
little piece of dust that cracked the

56
00:02:29,589 --> 00:02:26,400
windshield of um

57
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:29,599
the the space shuttle

58
00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:30,800
you know it doesn't seem that you're in

59
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:32,800
any sort of danger but that seems like

60
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:38,710
we know we do have some tips in the

61
00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:40,640
windows from small debris that's

62
00:02:44,949 --> 00:02:42,959
actually made an impact and so when they

63
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:44,959
design the windows and all of station

64
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:47,200
it's really designed with protection in

65
00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:49,680
mind our shutters cover up the windows

66
00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:51,360
and so we open the shutters to take

67
00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:53,840
pictures uh but the majority of the time

68
00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:55,360
they're covered with these very sturdy

69
00:02:59,830 --> 00:02:57,920
shutters you know it it definitely uh it

70
00:03:01,509 --> 00:02:59,840
speaks to the fact that we're in an

71
00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:01,519
environment here that has lots of

72
00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,680
hazards but we do the best we can to

73
00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:05,360
mitigate it with the design we have of

74
00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:09,910
okay to talk more about the pictures you

75
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:11,840
guys often take these phenomenal

76
00:03:16,949 --> 00:03:14,640
pictures of hurricanes from space or you

77
00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:16,959
know the california wildfires are you

78
00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:19,040
aware of what you're actually taking

79
00:03:23,509 --> 00:03:20,879
pictures of and also are you able to

80
00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:23,519
give us any help in any new information

81
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:29,110
well i would say sometimes we're aware

82
00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:31,360
of it sometimes we're not until we see

83
00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:33,280
the view out the window and we grab the

84
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:34,400
picture

85
00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:36,400
obviously we get some news up here we

86
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:38,400
get updates every day

87
00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:40,560
if there's something big happening like

88
00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:42,640
the the

89
00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:45,599
horrific fires in canada the ground will

90
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:48,080
let us know and alert us to grab

91
00:03:52,869 --> 00:03:51,120
pictures but oftentimes we we're just in

92
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:52,879
the window taking pictures of some part

93
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:54,720
of the earth and we will observe

94
00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:55,760
something

95
00:04:00,070 --> 00:03:57,840
that nobody has

96
00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:00,080
let us know about and we grab pictures

97
00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:01,760
and then find out after the fact what it

98
00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:04,000
is and that that has occurred with uh

99
00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:06,239
weather systems as well as volcano

100
00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:10,550
okay other things that you guys are able

101
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:13,040
to see the aurora borealis which is just

102
00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:14,480
mind-blowing

103
00:04:18,310 --> 00:04:16,720
especially to see it from space but i

104
00:04:19,749 --> 00:04:18,320
want to talk about the transit of

105
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:19,759
mercury because we spoke with one of

106
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:21,120
your colleagues on monday about that

107
00:04:24,629 --> 00:04:23,360
transit were you guys able to see that

108
00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:24,639
from your perspective i was trying to

109
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:26,320
think about okay well we're on earth

110
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:28,320
looking at you know the sun and mercury

111
00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:30,320
going across it should kind of still be

112
00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:32,000
the same from where you're located too

113
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:37,590
you know it would be in fact uh

114
00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:40,160
jeff and tim were looking into if we had

115
00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:41,759
any equipment on board that we could use

116
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:43,280
to look at the sun and be able to see

117
00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:45,440
this conjunction and actually we didn't

118
00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:47,520
it's kind of unfortunate but

119
00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:48,400
you know

120
00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:49,919
we actually have a great view up here

121
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:51,520
and so with the right equipment we could

122
00:04:55,749 --> 00:04:52,960
actually see those kinds of things as

123
00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:57,350
so what weather do you miss the most

124
00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:58,720
when you're in the international space

125
00:05:01,430 --> 00:05:00,000
station though i guess your friend tim

126
00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:01,440
peake there you know arranged some

127
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:03,039
showers on you guys when he does his

128
00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:10,070
yeah you know i actually coming from the

129
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:13,440
uk i miss the the wind and the rain

130
00:05:16,469 --> 00:05:15,199
but uh no in all seriousness a nice

131
00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,479
breeze when you're running i think

132
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:18,240
that's fantastic and that's what i do

133
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:21,039
miss up here um so i'm certainly looking

134
00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:22,800
forward to getting back and just feeling

135
00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:28,790
okay so let's talk about your um you

136
00:05:33,189 --> 00:05:30,639
know what the research is that you guys

137
00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:33,199
are doing on this mission because it

138
00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:35,360
seems as if everything you're doing is

139
00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:42,870
we know the the kind of research we do

140
00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:44,639
on board is is really broad spectrum

141
00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:46,479
there is a very large component of our

142
00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:48,160
research that's designed for us to

143
00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:49,840
understand the effects of zero gravity

144
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:51,520
on the human body and so we do

145
00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:54,080
ultrasounds we have studies of our eyes

146
00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:56,400
and a whole variety of different studies

147
00:06:00,790 --> 00:05:58,080
that are helping us determine what does

148
00:06:01,830 --> 00:06:00,800
it take to stay in in zero gravity for a

149
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:01,840
long period of time and that would

150
00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:04,240
prepare us for a journey to mars you

151
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:05,840
know anytime we're going to be

152
00:06:09,430 --> 00:06:06,960
transiting

153
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:09,440
into a an area beyond low earth orbit

154
00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:10,880
it's definitely necessary for us to

155
00:06:15,029 --> 00:06:13,039
understand you know the the impact of

156
00:06:16,469 --> 00:06:15,039
zero gravity but there's also lots of

157
00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:16,479
other research that we do on board lots

158
00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:18,560
of basic science and basic research

159
00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:21,120
everything from combustion fluid science

160
00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:23,199
cellular biology and so we have this

161
00:06:27,189 --> 00:06:25,280
world-class orbiting laboratory we hope

162
00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:27,199
to solve lots of those problems over

163
00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:32,309
would all three of you go to nasa i mean

164
00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:34,080
is that something that is of interest to

165
00:06:38,469 --> 00:06:36,800
you would you like to go

166
00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:38,479
i mean go to mars i'm sorry i said nasa

167
00:06:45,909 --> 00:06:44,150
going to mars

168
00:06:47,830 --> 00:06:45,919
i'll speak for myself personally that

169
00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:47,840
would be a little bit different journey

170
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:50,000
that would be a long way away a long

171
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:51,280
journey there

172
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:53,280
of course the the work on mars would be

173
00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:54,880
very interesting

174
00:06:58,870 --> 00:06:57,120
but the whole mission would be very long

175
00:07:01,110 --> 00:06:58,880
while you're in route to mars it's

176
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:01,120
interesting we spend a lot of time in

177
00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:02,880
the window here looking at the earth and

178
00:07:05,909 --> 00:07:04,560
the earth becomes kind of the focal

179
00:07:07,909 --> 00:07:05,919
point

180
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:07,919
of the unique experience of being here

181
00:07:12,070 --> 00:07:10,000
but going to mars

182
00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:12,080
we would not be able to see anything

183
00:07:15,830 --> 00:07:13,919
except the sun we couldn't even see the

184
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:15,840
stars so that would be a little bit

185
00:07:18,629 --> 00:07:17,280
different kind of journey i think that's

186
00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:18,639
something uh

187
00:07:28,710 --> 00:07:26,629
you guys are currently over ontario

188
00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:28,720
canada at the moment let's just talk

189
00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:30,080
about some of the basics for people

190
00:07:34,309 --> 00:07:32,000
watching of how many times you guys

191
00:07:38,550 --> 00:07:34,319
circle the earth you know in a day and

192
00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:39,990
so we're going around the planet every

193
00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:42,240
90 minutes that means we have 16 orbits

194
00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:45,520
per day that comes out to 17 500 miles

195
00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:48,080
an hour or about five miles a second so

196
00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:50,080
uh you know all of us love taking

197
00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:51,840
photographs and it means you have to be

198
00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:53,680
really skilled actually for some of the

199
00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:55,680
close end shots to be able to track and

200
00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:57,520
to get those photographs but it's an

201
00:08:00,390 --> 00:07:58,479
amazing

202
00:08:01,510 --> 00:08:00,400
experience be able to see the planet

203
00:08:03,029 --> 00:08:01,520
over and over from different

204
00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:03,039
perspectives different lighting and

205
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:08,629
so what is the favorite thing you have

206
00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:10,240
been able to see from the international

207
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:16,790
well you know i think every time you

208
00:08:19,909 --> 00:08:18,160
look out the window as kind of jeff

209
00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:19,919
alluded to there you see something

210
00:08:24,469 --> 00:08:22,080
different and uh everything is

211
00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:24,479
incredible i've loved seeing the aurora

212
00:08:28,150 --> 00:08:26,800
both the aurora borealis and australis

213
00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:28,160
as well which has been really bright

214
00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:29,280
during this

215
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:32,080
expedition 46 and 47. i love seeing

216
00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:34,000
thunderstorms at night as well it's

217
00:08:37,269 --> 00:08:35,599
really spectacular and you can see the

218
00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:37,279
huge scale sometimes of those

219
00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:38,560
thunderstorms

220
00:08:42,949 --> 00:08:41,039
over hundreds and hundreds of miles um

221
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:42,959
and actually in fact it almost looks as

222
00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:45,600
if one lightning strike triggers a whole

223
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:47,440
series of further lightning strikes and

224
00:08:51,590 --> 00:08:49,200
they all go off together which is really

225
00:08:52,790 --> 00:08:51,600
spectacular um it's also been nice over

226
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:52,800
the length of time you know having

227
00:08:57,269 --> 00:08:55,360
launched before christmas look watching

228
00:08:59,509 --> 00:08:57,279
the northern hemisphere turn from a

229
00:09:01,110 --> 00:08:59,519
winter landscape into spring and now

230
00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:01,120
moving into summer it's been great to

231
00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:02,720
watch that seasonal change over the

232
00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:07,590
awesome um tim tim and jeff thank you so

233
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:08,800
much i have to say this is a real treat

234
00:09:11,190 --> 00:09:10,399
for me i went to space camp twice as a

235
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:11,200
kid

236
00:09:17,350 --> 00:09:14,800
so i am very much into this and you've

237
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:17,360
just you've made my like year so thank

238
00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:19,360
you so much and i can't wait to talk to

239
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:22,080
you guys again

240
00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:23,440
thank you it's been great talking with

241
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,910
bye guys

242
00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:31,990
see ya

243
00:09:36,230 --> 00:09:34,560
station this is houston acr that

244
00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:36,240
concludes the weather channel portion of

245
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:38,399
the event please stand by for a voice

246
00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:46,550
station this is wisd tv how do you hear

247
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:53,829
we hear you loud and clear how about us

248
00:09:59,030 --> 00:09:55,269
loud and clear

249
00:10:04,069 --> 00:10:00,790
that's great uh being able to talk to

250
00:10:11,110 --> 00:10:05,829
tim tell us about

251
00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:12,790
you know we have a very busy schedule

252
00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:15,120
here on space station we typically get

253
00:10:19,990 --> 00:10:17,600
up about 6 or 6 30 in the morning we

254
00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:20,000
have a daily planning conference about 7

255
00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:21,920
30 and then we have a schedule that's

256
00:10:26,389 --> 00:10:24,640
very full every day and it is comprised

257
00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:26,399
of doing science here on board

258
00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:28,320
maintaining this world-class orbiting

259
00:10:32,949 --> 00:10:30,959
facility and also exercising and so

260
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:32,959
we're uh we're really packed throughout

261
00:10:36,310 --> 00:10:34,560
the day doing all those things and then

262
00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:36,320
we have an evening planning conference

263
00:10:40,069 --> 00:10:38,480
usually around 7 30 and then the night

264
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:40,079
time is really to have dinner and catch

265
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:47,990
a typical day jeff you're a wisconsin

266
00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:49,920
native from winter wisconsin and

267
00:10:54,870 --> 00:10:52,560
everyone here at home is so excited and

268
00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:54,880
about this mission and following your

269
00:10:59,509 --> 00:10:56,800
mission what is it like for you

270
00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:59,519
personally when you fly over

271
00:11:02,389 --> 00:11:00,480
wisconsin

272
00:11:06,470 --> 00:11:02,399
the great lakes the upper midwest what

273
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:08,389
oh well of course it brings back a lot

274
00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:11,440
of nostalgia growing up there and i've

275
00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:14,560
got lots of friends there still some

276
00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:16,320
family in the area

277
00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:17,440
so

278
00:11:23,509 --> 00:11:22,000
love to take pictures and and post them

279
00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:23,519
so that everybody can see that i'm

280
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:25,920
watching them as well i like to look

281
00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:28,240
into the details and see the the the

282
00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:30,800
lakes that i boated on and fished on and

283
00:11:37,350 --> 00:11:34,399
and other uh uh journeys i can even see

284
00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:37,360
my uh my homestead uh from up here with

285
00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:39,760
a big lens and pick out the building so

286
00:11:45,190 --> 00:11:43,519
it's uh it's a great experience full of

287
00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:45,200
nostalgia and fun to bring the

288
00:11:53,430 --> 00:11:50,949
what goes through your mind when you can

289
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:53,440
see your homestead from 200 miles in

290
00:12:00,230 --> 00:11:58,710
well i don't know

291
00:12:02,470 --> 00:12:00,240
i don't know how to explain it i mean

292
00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:02,480
it's it's uh pretty emotional to be able

293
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:05,440
to see it and uh and relive some of the

294
00:12:10,069 --> 00:12:07,600
experiences of growing up and knowing

295
00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:10,079
the people there and uh and having that

296
00:12:13,990 --> 00:12:12,240
opportunity even sometimes make a phone

297
00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:14,000
call say hey we just flew over and i see

298
00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:16,320
you got your car parked in the driveway

299
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,990
with your friends

300
00:12:28,550 --> 00:12:26,710
what is the objective of mission 47 can

301
00:12:32,389 --> 00:12:28,560
you explain a little bit about what your

302
00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:33,910
you know all of the expeditions to

303
00:12:38,949 --> 00:12:36,560
include expedition 47 is really about

304
00:12:41,430 --> 00:12:38,959
fulfilling the the potential of this

305
00:12:44,470 --> 00:12:41,440
world-class orbiting laboratory that we

306
00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:44,480
have and so every day we're trying to to

307
00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:46,240
meet the objectives that we have for

308
00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:48,160
different science experiments and those

309
00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:49,920
comprise ones that are physiologically

310
00:12:52,949 --> 00:12:51,279
based so that we can understand the

311
00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:52,959
effects of zero gravity on the human

312
00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:55,440
body that will allow us to go farther

313
00:12:59,110 --> 00:12:57,839
deeper into space in the future and also

314
00:13:01,030 --> 00:12:59,120
you know mitigate some of the the

315
00:13:02,949 --> 00:13:01,040
effects of zero gravity negative effects

316
00:13:04,870 --> 00:13:02,959
really on the human body and then we're

317
00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:04,880
conducting lots of basic science

318
00:13:10,629 --> 00:13:07,040
experiments everything from combustion

319
00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:10,639
to fluid mechanics to cell biology and

320
00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:12,800
and really it's also a technology

321
00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:14,880
demonstrator you know our environment

322
00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:16,880
here is exactly what we make of it the

323
00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:19,200
the temperature the quality of the air

324
00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:21,040
everything that we have here on board is

325
00:13:24,069 --> 00:13:22,560
what we've created because outside of

326
00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:24,079
the walls of this space station is a

327
00:13:28,069 --> 00:13:26,639
vacuum and not hospitable to human life

328
00:13:30,470 --> 00:13:28,079
and so what we want to do is just

329
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:30,480
advance the science and and learn from

330
00:13:34,949 --> 00:13:32,800
this and every expedition that's here on

331
00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:34,959
space station on ford will be doing the

332
00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:37,200
exact same thing trying to to develop

333
00:13:40,629 --> 00:13:39,120
the the state of the art and science and

334
00:13:43,269 --> 00:13:40,639
technology that will allow us to go

335
00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:45,110
now tim peake the whole world watched

336
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:47,680
you as you ran a marathon in outer space

337
00:13:54,069 --> 00:13:50,240
how do you you keep fits on the on the

338
00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:55,670
that's a great question is tim alluded

339
00:13:59,110 --> 00:13:57,440
to that you know maintaining fitness and

340
00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:59,120
health is really important to mitigate

341
00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:01,680
the the negative effects of microgravity

342
00:14:06,389 --> 00:14:04,160
so we do two basic types of training one

343
00:14:08,310 --> 00:14:06,399
is for cardiovascular because if we did

344
00:14:10,389 --> 00:14:08,320
nothing our heart muscle would shrink it

345
00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:10,399
has a really easy time in microgravity

346
00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:12,320
pumping the blood around first your

347
00:14:15,829 --> 00:14:14,000
blood volume reduces and secondly of

348
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:15,839
course it doesn't have to fight gravity

349
00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:17,600
so in order to make sure that our heart

350
00:14:21,910 --> 00:14:19,440
muscle stays fit and healthy we do

351
00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:21,920
cardiovascular exercise uh that's on the

352
00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:23,760
sevis bike machine which is here right

353
00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:26,160
next to me actually and also we have a

354
00:14:29,829 --> 00:14:28,000
treadmill a t2 treadmill so we do

355
00:14:32,550 --> 00:14:29,839
running and biking and then we have a

356
00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:32,560
machine called a red which enables us to

357
00:14:36,389 --> 00:14:34,800
lift weights it actually uses two vacuum

358
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:36,399
cylinders because obviously the weights

359
00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:38,320
up here would be meaningless but using

360
00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:40,399
the resistance of that vacuum cylinder

361
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:41,760
we can actually do weight lifting and

362
00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:44,160
exercise the major muscle groups and try

363
00:14:49,269 --> 00:14:46,320
and prevent some of that muscular

364
00:14:53,509 --> 00:14:51,269
we can see you bobbing up and down a

365
00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:53,519
little bit do you have weights that are

366
00:14:58,710 --> 00:14:55,440
holding you down while you're talking to

367
00:15:01,910 --> 00:14:59,990
you know the three of us are actually

368
00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:01,920
stood here with our feet hooked

369
00:15:05,829 --> 00:15:04,160
underneath um handrails we call them

370
00:15:08,150 --> 00:15:05,839
handrails but you know most the time we

371
00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:08,160
move around the space station hooking

372
00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:10,320
our feet under things and it's quite

373
00:15:14,949 --> 00:15:12,720
interesting because after five months in

374
00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:14,959
space the bottom of my feet are

375
00:15:19,509 --> 00:15:16,959
completely smooth you know like a

376
00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:19,519
newborn baby but the tops of my feet are

377
00:15:23,430 --> 00:15:21,760
completely hard and and you know

378
00:15:25,030 --> 00:15:23,440
hardened skin where i've been hooking my

379
00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:25,040
feet underneath hand rails for five

380
00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:27,040
months so we kind of use use our feet in

381
00:15:31,749 --> 00:15:28,959
an opposite manner to how you do on

382
00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:33,350
we see you guys have a lot of fun with

383
00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:35,519
this microgravity a lot of times how

384
00:15:45,509 --> 00:15:43,590
uh well

385
00:15:48,150 --> 00:15:45,519
it's speaking for myself and also

386
00:15:50,389 --> 00:15:48,160
observing many folks up here i think

387
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:50,399
i've been on orbit with close to 50

388
00:15:53,829 --> 00:15:52,560
different people or 40 some different

389
00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:53,839
people

390
00:15:59,350 --> 00:15:56,720
and everybody adapts very quickly within

391
00:16:02,310 --> 00:15:59,360
a first few days or first couple weeks

392
00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:02,320
you go through a huge adaptation but it

393
00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:04,560
really takes about six weeks or so to

394
00:16:08,949 --> 00:16:06,639
fully get acclimated to the environment

395
00:16:11,350 --> 00:16:08,959
and working in three dimensions and not

396
00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:11,360
having to depend upon

397
00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:13,680
an up or a down to be able to work in

398
00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:15,920
any orientation and to be able to manage

399
00:16:20,069 --> 00:16:18,240
the all the free floating things

400
00:16:22,150 --> 00:16:20,079
that you're working with up here

401
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:22,160
after six weeks everybody i think pretty

402
00:16:27,269 --> 00:16:24,160
much is up on the step and

403
00:16:31,509 --> 00:16:29,749
do the russian cosmonauts speak english

404
00:16:35,430 --> 00:16:31,519
or do any of the three of you speak

405
00:16:39,189 --> 00:16:37,269
you know we have uh three cosmonauts on

406
00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:39,199
board and they speak good english

407
00:16:42,629 --> 00:16:40,720
you know you could ask our russian

408
00:16:44,949 --> 00:16:42,639
colleagues if we speak good russian you

409
00:16:46,710 --> 00:16:44,959
know we definitely attempt it and uh so

410
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:46,720
we we end up communicating really in

411
00:16:49,749 --> 00:16:48,240
both ways we speak a little bit of

412
00:16:51,509 --> 00:16:49,759
russian a little bit of english

413
00:16:54,629 --> 00:16:51,519
sometimes it turns out to be ruthless

414
00:16:56,550 --> 00:16:54,639
sort of a combination of both but we all

415
00:16:58,470 --> 00:16:56,560
communicate very effectively our classes

416
00:17:01,030 --> 00:16:58,480
and training when we're in russia are in

417
00:17:03,749 --> 00:17:01,040
russian when the cosmonauts come to the

418
00:17:06,230 --> 00:17:03,759
united states they learn their classes

419
00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:06,240
and hear their classes in english and so

420
00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:09,280
uh we end up compromising and and uh

421
00:17:17,510 --> 00:17:15,270
how many windows are there on the space

422
00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:17,520
station and how often do you look out at

423
00:17:25,350 --> 00:17:23,350
yeah we've got lots of windows on the

424
00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:25,360
space station because every hatch has a

425
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:26,959
window in them

426
00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:28,640
but the main windows that we like to

427
00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:30,640
look out are the lab window which is

428
00:17:34,870 --> 00:17:32,480
right in front of us and that's just

429
00:17:36,950 --> 00:17:34,880
facing directly down on earth and also

430
00:17:39,190 --> 00:17:36,960
the cupola window which is actually

431
00:17:40,870 --> 00:17:39,200
seven windows making this cupola shape

432
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:40,880
and that's that's incredible we can get

433
00:17:46,470 --> 00:17:44,640
sort of 360 degree views of planet earth

434
00:17:49,190 --> 00:17:46,480
both of those are earth-facing we we

435
00:17:51,590 --> 00:17:49,200
have just one or two windows in hatches

436
00:17:53,270 --> 00:17:51,600
which face upwards and uh you know

437
00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:53,280
that's where we can see the the the

438
00:17:57,590 --> 00:17:56,080
stars at um at night time and also of

439
00:17:59,830 --> 00:17:57,600
course the russian segment has a number

440
00:18:01,590 --> 00:17:59,840
of windows as well so there are plenty

441
00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:01,600
of windows there are also windows in our

442
00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:03,360
soyuz spacecraft

443
00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:05,039
which look out to the sides of the space

444
00:18:12,230 --> 00:18:07,280
station so overall we get a pretty good

445
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:14,710
jeff you're very active on social media

446
00:18:19,909 --> 00:18:16,960
the pictures you post on twitter are

447
00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:19,919
just spectacular is that an intentional

448
00:18:29,510 --> 00:18:26,870
well thank you for the comment uh yeah

449
00:18:31,190 --> 00:18:29,520
it might uh and i think

450
00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:31,200
i can speak for all of us we want to

451
00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:33,120
bring the experience to the people of

452
00:18:37,590 --> 00:18:35,840
earth um because it is such a unique

453
00:18:39,669 --> 00:18:37,600
experience and the best way to do that

454
00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:39,679
is through visual imagery either

455
00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:42,480
photography or video

456
00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:44,160
i have a preference i guess toward

457
00:18:48,310 --> 00:18:46,480
photography i've taken lots of pictures

458
00:18:49,990 --> 00:18:48,320
every time i've been up here again

459
00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:50,000
trying to capture some of the things

460
00:18:54,710 --> 00:18:51,840
that tim and tim alluded to earlier with

461
00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:54,720
the wide variety of of objects that we

462
00:18:57,430 --> 00:18:56,480
have and things that we can see on the

463
00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:57,440
earth

464
00:19:01,510 --> 00:18:58,960
among them weather systems and

465
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:01,520
geographic features and cities and and

466
00:19:06,390 --> 00:19:04,720
now waters uh and and all of that so

467
00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:06,400
it's mainly just bringing

468
00:19:13,590 --> 00:19:07,520
the

469
00:19:17,029 --> 00:19:15,190
gentlemen what a thrill to talk with you

470
00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:17,039
