um

17
00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:47,039
well one of the things that uh i think

18
00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:49,200
we'd all like to know is

19
00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:50,320
um

20
00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:52,879
on this celebration of the national park

21
00:00:56,549 --> 00:00:53,920
service

22
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:56,559
anything you'd like to tell us about

23
00:01:03,830 --> 00:00:58,399
the national parks yourself in this

24
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:06,390
well i i would imagine that you might

25
00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:07,920
have seen the video that the folks in

26
00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:10,880
houston helped me put together and to

27
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:12,799
release yesterday

28
00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:15,520
that says mostly of what i would want to

29
00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:17,439
say in regards that national parks have

30
00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:19,520
been a big part of my life throughout my

31
00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:20,960
lifetime

32
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:23,200
my father was primarily a school teacher

33
00:01:27,990 --> 00:01:25,280
but he participated in a program that

34
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:28,000
the park service had when i was ages

35
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:30,000
four five and six to spend summers out

36
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:32,320
in devils tower national monument

37
00:01:37,350 --> 00:01:35,280
so i grew uh in a early on in

38
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:37,360
appreciation of the parks and and every

39
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:39,200
summer during those summers we'd go to

40
00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:41,119
yellowstone the tetons one summer we

41
00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:43,600
went to the glaciers or glacier national

42
00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:46,799
park the badlands of course

43
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:47,600
and

44
00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:53,040
so that i had an early appreciation for

45
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:56,159
the parks and for outdoor activities in

46
00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:57,600
general of course

47
00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:00,399
as i grew older had my own family

48
00:02:04,630 --> 00:02:02,479
i took my family on that same

49
00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:04,640
voyage same journey through those parks

50
00:02:08,469 --> 00:02:07,200
not only those parks but also parks like

51
00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:08,479
the grand canyon

52
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:11,120
and the major parks in california so i

53
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:13,840
mean it's a it's a beautiful part uh an

54
00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:15,280
important part of the heritage of

55
00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:17,520
america and americana important part of

56
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:20,480
our history and uh i'm sure that most of

57
00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:22,080
us would agree that it's important to

58
00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:24,080
continue the commitment to preserve

59
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:29,750
well thank you for that wonderful video

60
00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:31,920
i had a chance to see it we'll make sure

61
00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:33,840
our audience members get a link to it so

62
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:36,160
that they can look uh to it as well but

63
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:37,760
the pictures that you're taking from

64
00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:38,800
space

65
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:40,720
and how that giant camera looked so

66
00:02:46,869 --> 00:02:43,440
lightweight in a weightless space was

67
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:52,229
there it is

68
00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:54,309
that's great

69
00:03:03,190 --> 00:03:01,670
yeah we actually i don't know if you

70
00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,200
guys know how much we've been talking

71
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:05,360
about national parks up here

72
00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:08,080
the video that jeff made and

73
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:10,000
having this event with with all of you

74
00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:12,000
folks we actually have been sharing

75
00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:14,239
memories about all the camping that we

76
00:03:19,270 --> 00:03:17,200
did growing up and so my family

77
00:03:21,509 --> 00:03:19,280
family vacations always grown up in

78
00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:21,519
california where uh put all the kids in

79
00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:23,840
the back of the car and let's drive to a

80
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:25,599
national park and so i've got some

81
00:03:30,070 --> 00:03:27,680
really wonderful memories of trips to

82
00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:30,080
yosemite yellowstone

83
00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:32,879
all basically all over uh the west and

84
00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:35,120
the southwest and we visited many of

85
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:36,640
those parks there

86
00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:38,640
i've got some wonderful memories of that

87
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:40,400
and i think it's just an incredible

88
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:43,680
thing that we have these special places

89
00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:46,000
that we've preserved them and that we

90
00:03:51,030 --> 00:03:48,560
have these beautiful areas for families

91
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:51,040
to enjoy together so we've had a lot of

92
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:53,360
fun on the space station talking about

93
00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:55,360
all of our experiences in the wilderness

94
00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:58,480
and and all of really the

95
00:04:02,550 --> 00:04:00,480
kind of the amazing training that that

96
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,560
funny enough provides for space flight

97
00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:04,080
uh it's really uh quite like a

98
00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:06,720
backpacking trip up here sometimes

99
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:08,159
i bet it is

100
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:09,840
uh although sometimes even the

101
00:04:12,869 --> 00:04:11,360
backpacking food might taste a little

102
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:12,879
better than your space food i don't know

103
00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:13,760
but

104
00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:15,680
i'll tell you we all together were in

105
00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:19,040
these giant voyager canoes and

106
00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:20,720
as we paddled down the river on a

107
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:23,280
beautiful sunny day here

108
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:25,600
with a little bit of wind and the

109
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:27,440
insects tripping in the background we

110
00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:30,240
had a bald eagle that was our company we

111
00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:34,000
saw uh his or her nest way up in the sky

112
00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:34,880
uh

113
00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:37,040
they were the eagle was soaring over us

114
00:04:41,909 --> 00:04:39,360
looking for food and uh we went right

115
00:04:44,469 --> 00:04:41,919
through the confluence of the the

116
00:04:45,909 --> 00:04:44,479
minnesota and the uh mississippi rivers

117
00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:45,919
where the two rivers come together so

118
00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:48,560
it's pretty extraordinary we've got some

119
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:50,000
questions here johanna do you want to

120
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:51,440

135
00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:17,039
um

136
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:19,120
are you guys on are you guys going to

137
00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:27,590
we are not going to the moon i wish we

138
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:29,280
were going to the moon maybe one day

139
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:30,800
we'll go back to the moon we are

140
00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:32,400
orbiting the earth

141
00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:33,919
uh we're

142
00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:36,800
on average about 250 miles above the

143
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:40,400
earth's surface but we're going 17 500

144
00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:43,120
miles an hour in orbit around the earth

145
00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:44,880
and that takes us around the earth every

146
00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:48,240
90 minutes or 16 times a day

147
00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:51,520
so it's an incredible place to be to

148
00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:53,199
especially

149
00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:56,080
to look back in the view of the earth we

150
00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:57,360
are at

151
00:06:03,110 --> 00:05:59,840
an inclination of a little over 51

152
00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:03,120
degrees that means it's a we're on a

153
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:05,039
incline to the equator

154
00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:07,440
that far so we can see the entire globe

155
00:06:11,909 --> 00:06:09,759
over a period of time with the exception

156
00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:11,919
of the poles so it's a it's a beautiful

157
00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:15,280
place to be for earth observation

158
00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:16,560
but i bet they'd both like to go to the

159
00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:17,600
moon would you like to go to the moon

160
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:19,680
too yeah yeah me too i don't think it's

161
00:06:21,909 --> 00:06:20,720
gonna happen for me but maybe it'll

162
00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:21,919
happen for you

163
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:24,479
all right thanks jovan

164
00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:26,800
okay john our super oops i guess i'm

00:06:29,670 --> 00:06:28,319
here i'm a little taller uh john is

166
00:06:31,270 --> 00:06:29,680
superintendent of the mississippi

167
00:06:32,830 --> 00:06:31,280
national river and recreation area he's

168
00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:32,840
got a question for you

169
00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:34,479
john

170
00:06:37,350 --> 00:06:36,000
some would be very appropriate in my

171
00:06:38,870 --> 00:06:37,360
question because i work on the

172
00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:38,880
mississippi river so can you see the

173
00:06:49,749 --> 00:06:47,830
you absolutely can jeff even pointed it

174
00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:49,759
out to me a few weeks ago as we're going

175
00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:52,240
around the globe uh he's been showing me

176
00:06:56,710 --> 00:06:54,319
the sights and it and it goes from the

177
00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:56,720
pyramids in egypt to our launch sites in

178
00:07:01,189 --> 00:06:59,199
baikonur and he made sure to point out

179
00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:01,199
the mississippi river and so

180
00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:04,400
it actually is a very short pass over it

181
00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:06,400
because we're going so quick so you got

182
00:07:10,790 --> 00:07:08,960
to get your camera ready and i got some

183
00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:10,800
beautiful shots with the sun glint

184
00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:11,919
coming in

185
00:07:16,550 --> 00:07:13,919
with our our good advice from our expert

186
00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:16,560
photographer here it's it's a fantastic

187
00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:19,120
place to photograph over the us and it's

188
00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:25,909
so when we were paddling down the river

189
00:07:29,510 --> 00:07:27,520
today we could see the different colors

190
00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:29,520
together can you actually see colors

191
00:07:32,469 --> 00:07:31,280
like that from outer space where you

192
00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:32,479
know the muddy river full of the

193
00:07:42,469 --> 00:07:39,830
absolutely it's very obvious from space

194
00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:42,479
you see where rivers dump into the ocean

195
00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:44,639
you see where it dumps into the lake

196
00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:47,120
one very beautiful confluence of rivers

197
00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:48,800
that i pointed out to kate

198
00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:50,720
in the last couple of days is the white

199
00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:52,960
river where it flows into the missouri

200
00:07:57,189 --> 00:07:54,960
river the white river course carries a

201
00:07:58,869 --> 00:07:57,199
lot of the soil sediment coming from the

202
00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:58,879
badlands and the missouri river comes

203
00:08:03,589 --> 00:08:00,960
down it's a little clearer and that's a

204
00:08:05,749 --> 00:08:03,599
beautiful confluence of a very a very

205
00:08:07,189 --> 00:08:05,759
stark contrast in colors

206
00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:07,199
definitely you can see it and as kate

207
00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:08,160
mentioned

208
00:08:13,029 --> 00:08:10,080
when we get sun glit when the sun is

209
00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:13,039
reflected off the waters

210
00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:15,520
that is especially impressive and you

211
00:08:18,309 --> 00:08:16,960
can see different colors you see

212
00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:18,319
currents

213
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:21,120
you can see shipwrecks or boat wakes

214
00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:22,479
we can see

215
00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:24,160
ship traffic barge traffic on the

216
00:08:29,589 --> 00:08:26,240
mississippi river very clearly

217
00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:29,599
especially through a big lens like this

218
00:08:32,389 --> 00:08:31,120
wow that's amazing

219
00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:32,399
you know

220
00:08:36,070 --> 00:08:34,159
i'm gonna ask a question while i ask

221
00:08:38,149 --> 00:08:36,080
mayor coleman of saint paul to come on

222
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:38,159
up here i was just in glacier national

223
00:08:41,589 --> 00:08:40,000
park yesterday actually and yellowstone

224
00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:41,599
because it's a big week for the national

225
00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:44,560
park service and i'm curious um

226
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:46,080
whether you see

227
00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:48,080
impacts to glaciers and impacts of

228
00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:50,080
climate change uh from outer space

229
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:52,160
whether there's pictures from the past

230
00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:53,519
or now that

231
00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:54,880
can compare where you can help us

232
00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:56,399
understand what's happening to our

233
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:03,990
yeah we actually have uh whole teams of

234
00:09:07,910 --> 00:09:05,920
folks on the ground that are analyzing

235
00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:07,920
some of the crew earth observation

236
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:10,480
photographs we take from space and so

237
00:09:15,509 --> 00:09:13,200
we can take we can take photographs of a

238
00:09:17,509 --> 00:09:15,519
number of different phenomenon we send

239
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:17,519
those those down and

240
00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:19,360
the the data analysis folks can take a

241
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:21,760
look at a lot of different things that

242
00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:23,839
are happening over time and so this

243
00:09:29,509 --> 00:09:26,560
isn't just limited to glaciers

244
00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:29,519
they've got a huge list of

245
00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:31,440
scientific observations that we can make

246
00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:34,160
from space as well as things for example

247
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:37,040
with international disaster charter when

248
00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:38,880
there's floods when there's hurricanes

249
00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:40,240
that kind of thing we actually have a

250
00:09:44,949 --> 00:09:43,120
way to expedite that up on board

251
00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:44,959
obviously there's satellites that are

252
00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:46,320
unmanned satellites that are taking

253
00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:48,160
pictures out but astronauts can take

254
00:09:51,990 --> 00:09:50,480
photography we have some unique oblique

255
00:09:54,550 --> 00:09:52,000
angles where we can look at things from

256
00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:54,560
the side and see all kinds of phenomenon

257
00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:56,399
on the planet

258
00:10:01,750 --> 00:09:59,440
so we just had devastating floods in

259
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:01,760
louisiana is that something that you

260
00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:03,680
guys have been engaged in from up there

261
00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:11,030
well we have we try to take pictures

262
00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:12,959
when an event like that happens on the

263
00:10:16,870 --> 00:10:15,120
earth of the event area and we've been

264
00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:16,880
trying every day

265
00:10:20,550 --> 00:10:18,880
since the flood occurred to louisiana

266
00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:20,560
when we have a passover louisiana to

267
00:10:24,550 --> 00:10:23,040
take pictures uh the first few days that

268
00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:24,560
we attempted to do that the weather

269
00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:26,000
didn't cooperate so we didn't have a

270
00:10:29,990 --> 00:10:28,320
clear view but in the in the recent days

271
00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:30,000
we were able to take some extensive

272
00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:32,320
photography of that area and hopefully

273
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:34,720
it'll be of some use some aid

274
00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:37,600
to the to the recovery teams and the and

275
00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:39,600
the ground teams that are going into to

276
00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:41,600
assist in that

277
00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:43,200
that's great we're glad you're up there

278
00:10:47,509 --> 00:10:45,600
uh looking at us and looking after us uh

279
00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:47,519
mayor coleman chris coleman is the mayor

280
00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:48,959
of saint paul

281
00:10:52,949 --> 00:10:51,360
mr mayor gotta lift it up for you a

282
00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:52,959
little bit well thank you so much it's

283
00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:54,959
an honor to be talking with you i i like

284
00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:57,040
you're comparing a backpacking trip to

285
00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:58,959
uh to being on the space shuttle or out

286
00:11:02,150 --> 00:11:00,480
of the space station

287
00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:02,160
i think if the secretary goes back into

288
00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:03,839
her former line of work at rei some

289
00:11:07,110 --> 00:11:05,600
weightless camping equipment would

290
00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:07,120
really be ideal

291
00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:08,240
that'd be great

292
00:11:12,389 --> 00:11:10,160
so i have a i have a to test your

293
00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:12,399
astronaut knowledge and your

294
00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:16,240
your history we have two space shuttle

295
00:11:19,509 --> 00:11:17,760
astronauts that came from the city of

296
00:11:23,590 --> 00:11:19,519
saint paul so your trivia question is

297
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,269
well i know one is bob cabana

298
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:29,509
that's not who that's not the judges

299
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:32,720
were not looking for bob cabana

300
00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:35,120
he's from minneapolis he's a minneapolis

301
00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:40,470
oh sorry sorry see i'm i'm from

302
00:11:45,110 --> 00:11:42,480
wisconsin so i it to me it's all just

303
00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:45,120
one big city sorry

304
00:11:48,069 --> 00:11:46,240
well we have

305
00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:48,079
we actually we have we have a bunch of

306
00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:49,519
folks from minnesota we have pinkie

307
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:51,680
nelson but he was from wilmer but the

308
00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:53,680
space shuttle astronauts were digger

309
00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:55,200
carrie

310
00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:57,200
uh heidi's definition piper

311
00:12:00,470 --> 00:11:59,360
we're both from saint paul

312
00:12:02,310 --> 00:12:00,480
yeah yeah

313
00:12:06,550 --> 00:12:02,320
yes and i should know that they're both

314
00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:08,629
well i'll tell you mayor we claim pinky

315
00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:10,639
nelson in my home community of seattle

316
00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:15,040
now so yeah can we have him well yeah

317
00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:16,800
you want him back okay we'll let him

318
00:12:19,269 --> 00:12:17,519
know

319
00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:19,279
uh johanna do you have a question now

320
00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:21,600
come on up come on up

321
00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:23,200
well let's start with one we'll see

322
00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:25,120
where we go from there we got uh about

323
00:12:29,430 --> 00:12:27,440
eight more minutes yeah come on up

324
00:12:41,590 --> 00:12:29,440
johanna was on our paddling trip today

325
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,509
hello

326
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:56,310
my name is johanna

327
00:13:02,629 --> 00:12:58,389
um

328
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:08,310
are wormholes real yeah

329
00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:10,470
hey johanna it is great to be talking to

330
00:13:14,629 --> 00:13:12,720
you from the space station thank you so

331
00:13:17,509 --> 00:13:14,639
much for coming up and giving us your

332
00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:17,519
question and our wormholes reel is

333
00:13:21,990 --> 00:13:19,519
pretty fascinating i think that gets

334
00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:22,000
into a realm of some extremely complex

335
00:13:25,350 --> 00:13:23,200
physics

336
00:13:27,350 --> 00:13:25,360
i actually like to watch a lot of

337
00:13:29,829 --> 00:13:27,360
science fiction and you always see

338
00:13:32,069 --> 00:13:29,839
fantastic wormholes in science fiction

339
00:13:34,310 --> 00:13:32,079
and folks can get from one place to the

340
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:34,320
other in the galaxy we don't quite have

341
00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:36,480
harnessed that technology yet

342
00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:38,880
at nasa but we are working on a lot of

343
00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:41,440
technologies to transport us beyond low

344
00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:44,000
earth orbit and i bet you there are some

345
00:13:48,629 --> 00:13:46,399
physicists out there that are digging

346
00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:48,639
very deep into that question that are

347
00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:51,839
extremely interested in how all of this

348
00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:54,480
gets put together in space and time and

349
00:13:58,949 --> 00:13:57,360
so we just really like to thank you for

350
00:14:01,430 --> 00:13:58,959
beaming your question up to the space

351
00:14:03,509 --> 00:14:01,440
station

352
00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:03,519
thanks another one

353
00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:04,880
um

354
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:06,000
uh

355
00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:07,360
yes um

356
00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:16,310
that's a good question uh of course the

357
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:18,560
theory would say that time changes uh

358
00:14:22,550 --> 00:14:20,000
with speed

359
00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:22,560
uh we don't notice any change here it

360
00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:25,760
works uh i mean time goes by actually it

361
00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:27,279
seems like it goes by pretty fast up

362
00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:28,480
here because we're

363
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:30,079
having a pretty good time with all the

364
00:14:33,990 --> 00:14:32,720
work going on and and whatnot in its

365
00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:34,000
challenging work

366
00:14:41,110 --> 00:14:36,560
but subjectively the time feels the same

367
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:43,030
um

368
00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:44,560
thank you for your time it was nice

369
00:14:47,509 --> 00:14:46,480
meeting you

370
00:14:48,710 --> 00:14:47,519
thank you hannah you want to be an

371
00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:48,720
astronaut

372
00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:50,880
um

373
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:55,990
well i don't really want to be an

374
00:14:58,550 --> 00:14:57,440
astronaut but i've always wanted to go

375
00:14:59,750 --> 00:14:58,560
to space

376
00:15:02,389 --> 00:14:59,760
but

377
00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:02,399
i'm i'm an artist right now i'm just

378
00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:10,150
all right a room would you come on up

379
00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:12,160
here and ask your question roo is the

380
00:15:15,910 --> 00:15:13,839
head of an organization called outdoor

381
00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:15,920
afro and that's making sure that the

382
00:15:20,069 --> 00:15:18,560
outdoors feel welcoming to all people in

383
00:15:21,269 --> 00:15:20,079
particular african americans who are

384
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:21,279
very much underrepresented in the

385
00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:23,199
outdoors and she's brought this group of

386
00:15:27,189 --> 00:15:24,880
uh people out to paddle with us this

387
00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:27,199
morning so rue thank you very much

388
00:15:30,790 --> 00:15:28,000
um

389
00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:30,800
my question is uh what are you missing

390
00:15:37,829 --> 00:15:34,160
about nature uh while you're up there um

391
00:15:40,949 --> 00:15:37,839
i don't see any plants or any trees

392
00:15:46,470 --> 00:15:40,959
so what or what place of nature are you

393
00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:48,310
that is a great question and and you

394
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:49,600
really have hit the nail on the head we

395
00:15:54,550 --> 00:15:52,560
do miss nature up here uh we i would say

396
00:15:55,749 --> 00:15:54,560
we miss everything about being outdoors

397
00:15:57,509 --> 00:15:55,759
we miss

398
00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:57,519
just small things that you don't notice

399
00:16:01,110 --> 00:15:59,600
until they're gone like feeling breeze

400
00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:01,120
against your face

401
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:04,000
hearing nature sounds seeing green

402
00:16:07,189 --> 00:16:05,600
somebody told me actually to pack a lot

403
00:16:09,430 --> 00:16:07,199
of green shirts because you're going to

404
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:09,440
want to see green up here and you can

405
00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:11,680
see the the lab behind us has got some

406
00:16:15,590 --> 00:16:13,600
nice colors on it but there's nothing

407
00:16:17,829 --> 00:16:15,600
like seeing a forest

408
00:16:19,749 --> 00:16:17,839
or a beautiful meadow i think that's

409
00:16:22,150 --> 00:16:19,759
really hardwired into the human

410
00:16:25,189 --> 00:16:22,160
experience so we miss all of those

411
00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:25,199
things we do actually have a few plants

412
00:16:29,350 --> 00:16:27,360
up here they're not on video it's part

413
00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:29,360
of an experiment we just put it in the

414
00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:30,880
columbus module

415
00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:32,800
in the in the um

416
00:16:36,389 --> 00:16:34,880
one of the payload racks there and we're

417
00:16:39,030 --> 00:16:36,399
actually going to take a look at plant

418
00:16:41,350 --> 00:16:39,040
growth on board we do have a lot of

419
00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:41,360
things up here that we can take a look

420
00:16:47,189 --> 00:16:44,800
at through the lenses and see

421
00:16:49,030 --> 00:16:47,199
beautiful landscapes in nature and that

422
00:16:50,790 --> 00:16:49,040
brings it a little bit closer but i

423
00:16:52,389 --> 00:16:50,800
would say there's nothing like

424
00:16:57,509 --> 00:16:52,399
like a beautiful walk on a summer

425
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:00,230
thank you

426
00:17:03,749 --> 00:17:02,389
so we also have with us congresswoman

427
00:17:04,470 --> 00:17:03,759
betty mccollum

428
00:17:05,990 --> 00:17:04,480
who

429
00:17:08,549 --> 00:17:06,000
has been a champion for our national

430
00:17:10,309 --> 00:17:08,559
parks and a champion for uh tribal

431
00:17:12,150 --> 00:17:10,319
communities and she's great to work with

432
00:17:13,429 --> 00:17:12,160
so uh congresswoman mccollum you want to

433
00:17:15,669 --> 00:17:13,439
say something to our astronauts here

434
00:17:18,549 --> 00:17:15,679
thank you secretary julian it's great

435
00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:18,559
it's just wonderful being able to talk

436
00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:20,880
to you and ask you a question about

437
00:17:25,029 --> 00:17:22,799
climate change i'm going to have my

438
00:17:26,549 --> 00:17:25,039
first opportunity shortly i hope in the

439
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:26,559
next couple months to go to glacier

440
00:17:31,029 --> 00:17:28,640
national park because i want to see the

441
00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:31,039
glacier before it disappears you said

442
00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:33,360
that you have a log of

443
00:17:38,150 --> 00:17:35,760
photos now that nasa's taken what is the

444
00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:38,160
biggest takeaway that we can share with

445
00:17:46,470 --> 00:17:40,480
people after this conversation about the

446
00:17:51,110 --> 00:17:48,789
i don't know i would have to uh review

447
00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:51,120
the data we as kate said before we've

448
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:52,960
taken pictures of the earth for many

449
00:17:55,909 --> 00:17:55,200
many years now so you'd have to go back

450
00:17:58,230 --> 00:17:55,919
and

451
00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:58,240
actually compare

452
00:18:02,390 --> 00:17:59,760
the changes

453
00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:02,400
i've been up here now a year and a half

454
00:18:05,909 --> 00:18:03,760
total

455
00:18:07,990 --> 00:18:05,919
and i see the seasons go by but it's not

456
00:18:09,190 --> 00:18:08,000
enough time not enough exposure for us

457
00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:09,200
to see

458
00:18:13,029 --> 00:18:11,840
much beyond that now some seasons are

459
00:18:16,710 --> 00:18:13,039
more

460
00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:16,720
others colder than

461
00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:18,320
some winters are colder than others more

462
00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:20,400
snow in different areas so you see

463
00:18:24,549 --> 00:18:23,200
variations across the planet but beyond

464
00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:24,559
that it would be very difficult to

465
00:18:28,630 --> 00:18:26,160
answer that question from our

466
00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:28,640
observation up here sounds like

467
00:18:31,669 --> 00:18:30,320
something congress should find there you

468
00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:31,679
go

469
00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:33,600
i can't disagree with there i think

470
00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:35,280
we're almost out of time i just want to

471
00:18:40,549 --> 00:18:38,000
tell both of you how enormously proud we

472
00:18:44,789 --> 00:18:40,559
are of what you're doing

473
00:18:48,549 --> 00:18:46,070
we send you

474
00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:48,559
nature and sunshine and

475
00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:52,000
birds chirping and wind

476
00:19:00,950 --> 00:18:59,110
thank you and it means a whole lot to

477
00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:00,960
make this connection with you guys and

478
00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:03,600
to talk with folks that have just done

479
00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:05,919
amazing things like like paddling on a

480
00:19:09,669 --> 00:19:08,240
river it brings it a little bit closer

481
00:19:11,669 --> 00:19:09,679
i know that we're looking forward to

482
00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:11,679
getting back to our beautiful planet at

483
00:19:16,390 --> 00:19:13,840
the same time we really love our vantage

484
00:19:18,870 --> 00:19:16,400
point up here and it's amazing

485
00:19:46,870 --> 00:19:18,880
to see the entire earth from a continent

486
00:19:53,669 --> 00:19:48,150

487
00:19:57,110 --> 00:19:55,430
