does that compare to your shuttle 31 00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:27,429 well we have a lot more time up here on 32 00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:29,200 this mission compared to the shuttle 33 00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:30,640 mission so we'll do hundreds of 34 00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:32,880 experiments in my five to six months up 35 00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:35,280 here um so far i think my favorite one 36 00:01:40,789 --> 00:01:37,840 has been we got to i got to grow some 37 00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:40,799 plants up here so i grew some lettuce 38 00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:42,880 so i kind of felt like matt damon a bit 39 00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:44,799 in the martian but we grew some plants 40 00:01:48,069 --> 00:01:46,799 we got to harvest them and we got to eat 41 00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:48,079 the lettuce while we were up here so 42 00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:49,920 that was a welcome treat to our normal 43 00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:58,630 hello my name is davis hayden 44 00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:01,920 what what was it like to orbit earth 45 00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:04,479 for two days before your soyu docked to 46 00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:11,510 yeah to me those were a long couple days 47 00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:13,680 we're in a very very tiny spacecraft 48 00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:15,120 developed by the russians called the 49 00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:17,200 soyuz like you mentioned and there's not 50 00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:19,280 a lot to do in there and your three 51 00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:21,120 people are in that tiny 52 00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:23,200 area for a couple days so we just kind 53 00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:24,800 of got acclimated to the space 54 00:02:27,430 --> 00:02:26,400 environment and microgravity a little 55 00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:27,440 bit 56 00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:29,040 but in general it was just a long two 57 00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:30,480 days before we got here to the space 58 00:02:37,990 --> 00:02:32,400 station 59 00:02:41,350 --> 00:02:39,750 my name is adam young 60 00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:41,360 where is your favorite place to hang out 61 00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:49,509 well this this entire complex is so 62 00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:52,080 unique and so cool but my favorite place 63 00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:53,760 and i think most astronauts favorite 64 00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:55,920 place is hanging out in a module called 65 00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:57,280 the cupola 66 00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:59,200 and it's just a module full of windows 67 00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:00,959 so if you get a chance to look it up 68 00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:03,360 online you'll see why it's our favorite 69 00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:06,800 so it's like a 360 degree window 70 00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:08,800 module it's a pretty small module but it 71 00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:10,560 looks down at earth all the time so we 72 00:03:23,589 --> 00:03:21,670 hello my name is montana dickerson how 73 00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:23,599 do you brush your teeth on 74 00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:29,509 all right get into the good basic 75 00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:31,360 questions now but these are good so we 76 00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:33,280 brush the brush our teeth the same way 77 00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:34,959 but we have a little problem that we 78 00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:36,799 don't have on earth so up here we don't 79 00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:38,159 have any sinks 80 00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:39,920 so you got a couple options you can 81 00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:40,799 either 82 00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:42,799 whatever's in your mouth you can spit it 83 00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:44,640 out into a napkin but that gets pretty 84 00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:46,799 messy up here so most folks 85 00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:48,879 including myself choose to just swallow 86 00:03:53,509 --> 00:03:50,480 it so i'll be looking forward to a sink 87 00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:53,519 here when i get back to earth 88 00:04:01,270 --> 00:03:59,350 hello my name is isabella moffitt is 89 00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:01,280 there a trash can on the space station 90 00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:07,990 so we have a lot of ways to collect our 91 00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:10,080 trash there's tomah pesquet 92 00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:11,840 franchise are not floating by one of my 93 00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:13,200 crewmates 94 00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:14,400 there's a lot of ways and we have to 95 00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:16,320 manage our trash very carefully because 96 00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:18,000 otherwise it's just a mess up here and 97 00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:19,919 things are all over the place 98 00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:22,639 so what we do in general is separate our 99 00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:24,960 dry and our wet trash so our dry trash 100 00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:27,280 meaning paper or maybe clothes things 101 00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:29,520 like that wet trash meaning anything 102 00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:31,840 that could smell in a week or a month or 103 00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:34,240 three months from now so food containers 104 00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:35,520 and things like that so we try to 105 00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:38,320 operate those um and keep those clean 106 00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:40,720 and then we put our trash in these cargo 107 00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:42,720 vehicles that come up every so often so 108 00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:44,320 we have a japanese cargo vehicle 109 00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:46,320 attached right now it's going to leave 110 00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:48,320 here at the end of january so before it 111 00:04:52,469 --> 00:04:50,560 leaves we're going to put all or all or 112 00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:52,479 whatever we can of our trash on board 113 00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:54,840 that vehicle to take it 114 00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:02,150 my name is caroline colavito how do you 115 00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:10,950 another tricky thing to do but uh what's 116 00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:12,800 kind of cool is when you just put water 117 00:05:15,909 --> 00:05:14,400 on your hair and you do it out of a 118 00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:15,919 drink bag and we'll talk about that here 119 00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:17,360 in a minute too but it comes in a bag 120 00:05:21,350 --> 00:05:19,280 like this and it's just water 121 00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:21,360 um so you just squirt it out onto your 122 00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:23,039 head and the cool thing is it doesn't go 123 00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:25,039 anywhere the surface tension allows it 124 00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:27,840 to stay on your head um so you can wash 125 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:30,000 it that way we also have shampoo that we 126 00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:31,360 use it's a little different than the 127 00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,280 shampoo you use on earth so it's not so 128 00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:35,520 foamy and things don't go everywhere 129 00:05:39,189 --> 00:05:37,440 so we use that in a comb i use that in 130 00:05:41,189 --> 00:05:39,199 combination with some water to wash my 131 00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:41,199 hair every day 132 00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:47,110 hi my name is libby stewart and i was 133 00:05:53,909 --> 00:05:49,199 wondering if you experienced weather in 134 00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:55,830 so on the space station here we don't 135 00:05:58,950 --> 00:05:57,520 experience weather it's always pretty 136 00:06:01,110 --> 00:05:58,960 much the same temperature it's very 137 00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:01,120 comfortable about 72 degrees kind of 138 00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:02,880 like your school is or an office 139 00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:04,319 building would be 140 00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:06,160 and we can regulate it if we want up and 141 00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:07,600 down a little bit but in general it's 142 00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:10,080 very consistent uh we do from this 143 00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:12,240 vantage point though get to see weather 144 00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:14,560 on the earth we get to see from above 145 00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:16,880 thunderstorms and tropical storms and 146 00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:19,600 hurricanes and things like that really 147 00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:21,440 spectacular looking but we know the 148 00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:23,039 devastation a lot of those cause on 149 00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:24,720 earth 150 00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:30,469 hello i'm caroline williams and this is 151 00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:34,000 davis dundee we have two questions 152 00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:35,919 how do you take a shower in space and 153 00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:43,270 all right showering is very tough 154 00:06:46,550 --> 00:06:44,800 because we don't have showers a lot of 155 00:06:48,390 --> 00:06:46,560 people don't know that so 156 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:48,400 we're pretty much going five six months 157 00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:50,720 without a real shower but what we do is 158 00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:53,039 we get a towel or a washcloth 159 00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:55,759 and you either wet it down 160 00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:57,759 by the the water bag like i mentioned 161 00:07:02,150 --> 00:07:00,240 before and then you put we have a kind 162 00:07:03,189 --> 00:07:02,160 of liquid soap that comes in a pouch 163 00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:03,199 like this 164 00:07:07,189 --> 00:07:04,960 so you also put that on your towel and 165 00:07:08,870 --> 00:07:07,199 then you just wipe your body down 166 00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:08,880 so you do that and then you'll wash your 167 00:07:13,029 --> 00:07:11,199 hair typically every day and we usually 168 00:07:15,029 --> 00:07:13,039 do it after we work out so we work out 169 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:15,039 for about two to two and a half hours 170 00:07:18,790 --> 00:07:17,280 every day and we're pretty sweaty by the 171 00:07:21,990 --> 00:07:18,800 end of that so that's obviously a great 172 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,830 thank you 173 00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:28,309 hi my name is ashna lol how do you sleep 174

your food and once you do that 209 00:09:04,949 --> 00:09:03,760 it'll stick to your food so that's a 210 00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:04,959 good thing 211 00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:06,720 and then you kind of mix it up with your 212 00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:08,800 spoon or fork and then eat it and i 213 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:19,190 what foods do you miss in space 214 00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:20,710 i'm sorry it's not coming through clear 215 00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:22,720 up here for some reason 216 00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:31,030 what foods you miss okay thank you 217 00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:31,920 um 218 00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:33,680 well i do miss crunchy things because we 219 00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:35,040 don't have a lot of crunchy things so 220 00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:36,480 when we had that lettuce 221 00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:38,720 a few times up here that was really nice 222 00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:40,640 and i miss things like pizza which you 223 00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:42,800 guys probably like as well we don't have 224 00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:44,080 any of that up here but in general our 225 00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:47,040 food is very good pretty good variety 226 00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:48,560 we get to share with the russians a lot 227 00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:50,320 too so we'll have a lot of their cuisine 228 00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:51,920 and they'll have some of ours we're 229 00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:53,519 lucky to have the french astronaut on 230 00:09:57,670 --> 00:09:55,360 board so we get some european food as 231 00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:01,829 thank you 232

it's labeled it just has powder in it 238 00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:21,440 until we hydrate it and put water in it 239 00:10:25,829 --> 00:10:23,760 but it then turns into kind of a giant 240 00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:25,839 capri sun pouch like you guys are 241 00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:27,600 probably used to we do have a special 242 00:10:31,829 --> 00:10:28,800 straw 243 00:10:33,829 --> 00:10:31,839 it the liquid would just come out all 244 00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:33,839 over the place so i'll try to show you 245 00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:35,519 what happens when you release the straw 246 00:10:38,630 --> 00:10:37,360 here 247 00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:38,640 so you can just see 248 00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:41,279 a ball of orange liquid here 249 00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:42,560 and it'll just keep coming out and 250 00:10:51,110 --> 00:10:49,110 but in general we just drew when we're 251 00:10:52,949 --> 00:10:51,120 doing our drinks you drink what you want 252 00:11:03,110 --> 00:10:52,959 and then you close the straw back up so 253 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,430 thank you 254 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:13,110 hi i got a little messier than i thought 255 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,949 what do you like to do in your free time 256 00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:20,870 so we do get weekends off typically so 257 00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:22,560 we do have some free time 258 00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:24,800 i love calling my family and friends 259 00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:26,480 back on earth and chatting with them and 260 00:11:30,150 --> 00:11:28,800 catching up so that's always nice we 261 00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:30,160 also have 262 00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:32,240 plenty of movies plenty of tv shows that 263 00:11:36,069 --> 00:11:33,760 they can send up to us or that are 264 00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:36,079 already on board the space station so a 265 00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:37,600 lot of times we'll have movie night up 266 00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:38,640 here and we'll get the whole crew 267 00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:40,560 together and watch a nice movie together 268 00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:43,519 i'm also a big sports fan so i get a 269 00:11:48,389 --> 00:11:45,279 pretty good game sent up to me whether 270 00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:48,399 it's college football or nfl or nba or 271 00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:50,399 college basketball so i enjoy watching 272 00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:52,320 those it kind of keeps me in touch with 273 00:11:58,629 --> 00:11:54,560 things on earth 274 00:12:07,110 --> 00:12:01,269 hi my name is gabby tony how do you cook 275 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:09,670 so we have a couple ways to do that we 276 00:12:13,990 --> 00:12:11,519 have some rehydratable foods that come 277 00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:14,000 in packages like this this is uh 278 00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:15,200 probably your favorite right it's 279 00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:16,399 broccoli 280 00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:17,760 but what we do with these these are 281 00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:19,680 rehydratable so we hook these up to a 282 00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:21,600 machine that puts water in them and you 283 00:12:24,550 --> 00:12:23,200 can put hot water in them and if you do 284 00:12:26,150 --> 00:12:24,560 that they're pretty much ready to eat in 285 00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:26,160 about five minutes 286 00:12:28,550 --> 00:12:27,440 but if you want to heat them up even 287 00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:28,560 more 288 00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:30,880 or if you want to have a pouch of foods 289 00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:32,720 a lot of our foods comes in pouches like 290 00:12:35,110 --> 00:12:33,519 this 291 00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:35,120 we have a convection oven that looks 292 00:12:38,949 --> 00:12:37,360 like a little miniature suitcase that we 293 00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:38,959 put them in and you can heat them up for 294 00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:40,560 as long as you want usually takes about 295 00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:42,160 20 to 30 minutes 296 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,269 thank you 297 00:12:53,829 --> 00:12:50,949 hello my name is mary elizabeth 298 00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:53,839 kirkpatrick i have two questions for you 299 00:12:57,509 --> 00:12:55,440 do you have a closet for your clothes 300 00:13:01,750 --> 00:12:57,519 and spacesuit what happens to your dirty 301 00:13:04,790 --> 00:13:03,190 very good question these are a lot of 302 00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:04,800 logistics questions that you guys are 303 00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:06,800 asking it's very important for you know 304 00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:08,880 brushing teeth and eating and and 305 00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:10,560 clothes management because otherwise 306 00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:12,480 everything's a big mess so we have 307 00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:15,279 little bags like this right here 308 00:13:20,389 --> 00:13:17,760 that we typically keep about two weeks 309 00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:20,399 worth of clothes in maybe a little more 310 00:13:23,509 --> 00:13:22,079 so we'll put maybe two weeks of our 311 00:13:25,509 --> 00:13:23,519 clothes in here and then set it right 312 00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:25,519 next to our little bedroom 313 00:13:29,269 --> 00:13:27,760 and that way it's easily accessible to 314 00:13:31,190 --> 00:13:29,279 get our stuff that we need for a couple 315 00:13:32,949 --> 00:13:31,200 weeks and then after that's up then 316 00:13:35,269 --> 00:13:32,959 we'll kind of reload a bag like that 317 00:13:37,910 --> 00:13:35,279 from another bigger suitcase 318 00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:37,920 where we keep the rest of our stuff 319 00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:39,440 and i already forgot your second 320 00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:42,240 question i'm sorry 321 00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:50,310 oh yeah so we wear our clothes for 322 00:13:53,509 --> 00:13:51,920 really about as long as you can stand 323 00:13:55,590 --> 00:13:53,519 them and then you throw them away so we 324 00:13:58,470 --> 00:13:55,600 don't have any way to clean them up here 325 00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:58,480 um we get uh not very many clothes as 326 00:14:01,509 --> 00:13:59,839 you might think because there's just not 327 00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:01,519 a lot of room not and it's very 328 00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:04,320 expensive to fly things up here so 329 00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:07,360 we get a couple pairs of pants uh 330 00:14:10,949 --> 00:14:08,800 probably for the whole mission and then 331 00:14:12,870 --> 00:14:10,959 we get a shirt about once a week and 332 00:14:13,829 --> 00:14:12,880 then we get workout clothes once a week 333 00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:13,839 so 334 00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:15,920 we have to manage our dirty clothes but 335 00:14:24,069 --> 00:14:17,360 once they're dirty and we're done with 336 00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:26,310 hello my name is hank chopra and my 337 00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:29,279 question is how much force is exerted to 338 00:14:36,790 --> 00:14:31,440 the engines in order to control the 339 00:14:40,470 --> 00:14:38,550 well believe it or not even as massive 340 00:14:42,710 --> 00:14:40,480 as this space station is it doesn't take 341 00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:42,720 much force at all and we have little 342 00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:45,120 little engines called thrusters that we 343 00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:47,440 use to sometimes reorient the space 344 00:14:49,829 --> 00:14:48,639 station and put it in a different 345 00:14:51,350 --> 00:14:49,839 attitude 346 00:14:53,829 --> 00:14:51,360 in general it just stays in the orbit 347 00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:53,839 that we're in doesn't need any jets or 348 00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:55,680 anything firing any engines firing 349 00:14:58,389 --> 00:14:57,040 continuously 350 00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:58,399 but every now and then for different 351 00:15:01,829 --> 00:15:00,240 events we'll orient the station in a 352 00:15:03,829 --> 00:15:01,839 different direction and we'll need to 353 00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:03,839 use those thrusters in that case but 354 00:15:10,629 --> 00:15:06,240 very little force 355 00:15:14,790 --> 00:15:13,030 my name is carson dodd how do you talk 356 00:15:20,470 --> 00:15:14,800 to each other inside the space station 357 00:15:24,550 --> 00:15:22,550 so when we're inside we just kind of 358 00:15:26,470 --> 00:15:24,560 wherever each other are we just visually 359 00:15:28,790 --> 00:15:26,480 go find them and talk to them just like 360 00:15:30,230 --> 00:15:28,800 i'd be talking to you in your classroom 361 00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:30,240 when we go outside that's a bit 362 00:15:34,949 --> 00:15:32,399 different the two space walkers when you 363 00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:34,959 go outside are talking uh what's called 364 00:15:38,389 --> 00:15:36,720 on the big loop so when every time they 365 00:15:40,710 --> 00:15:38,399 talk it's going between the space 366 00:15:42,949 --> 00:15:40,720 walkers it's also coming on board the 367 00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:42,959 space station and also going to the 368 00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:45,360 mission control centers around the world 369 00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:47,680 mainly to houston which is where the 370 00:15:52,150 --> 00:15:49,920 spacewalks are being driven out of 371 00:15:53,509 --> 00:15:52,160 in the case of our spacewalk so you may 372 00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:53,519 have heard we had a spacewalk last 373 00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:56,160 friday it went very well and uh tomo 374 00:16:01,110 --> 00:15:58,320 pesque and myself are going back outside 375 00:16:02,790 --> 00:16:01,120 this friday for our second spacewalk so 376 00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:02,800 hopefully you guys can tune in and watch 377 00:16:08,870 --> 00:16:05,759 a little of it on friday 378 00:16:11,030 --> 00:16:08,880 thank you 379 00:16:12,870 --> 00:16:11,040 my name is jack schaefer how long can 380 00:16:18,870 --> 00:16:12,880 you be outside of the space station can 381 00:16:22,310 --> 00:16:20,470 well that would be nice i think we would 382 00:16:24,389 --> 00:16:22,320 go out a lot more often but no it's a 383 00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:24,399 very uh it's very dangerous out there 384 00:16:29,030 --> 00:16:26,880 and so it's very planned and calculated 385 00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:29,040 typically when we go outside 386 00:16:33,350 --> 00:16:31,040 and these days we're going out a couple 387 00:16:34,310 --> 00:16:33,360 times a year maybe would be the average 388 00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:34,320 i think 389 00:16:37,829 --> 00:16:36,240 we're just lucky enough that we're here 390 00:16:39,829 --> 00:16:37,839 during a time where we have some planned 391 00:16:42,069 --> 00:16:39,839 space walks and that's why we're going 392 00:16:43,829 --> 00:16:42,079 out and in general we go out about six 393 00:16:45,509 --> 00:16:43,839 and a half to seven hours for each 394 00:16:47,110 --> 00:16:45,519 spacewalk so it's pretty much like your 395 00:16:48,389 --> 00:16:47,120 entire school day 396 00:16:50,470 --> 00:16:48,399 if you're thinking like that but we 397 00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:50,480 don't have lunch or break or recess or 398 00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:52,240 anything like that so 399 00:16:54,790 --> 00:16:53,759 we're very exhausted when we get back 400 00:16:56,790 --> 00:16:54,800 inside 401 00:16:59,350 --> 00:16:56,800 and ready to eat for sure and we sleep 402 00:17:03,350 --> 00:16:59,360 very well that night 403 00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:05,510 hi my name is brooks bradberry and how 404 00:17:11,909 --> 00:17:07,120 do you clip your nails on the space 405 00:17:16,549 --> 00:17:14,470 all right um very carefully is probably 406 00:17:18,630 --> 00:17:16,559 the best answer but you clip them just 407 00:17:20,710 --> 00:17:18,640 like you do on earth the problem is that 408 00:17:23,029 --> 00:17:20,720 as soon as you clip it it goes flying 409 00:17:24,789 --> 00:17:23,039 off so you have to manage that 410 00:17:26,789 --> 00:17:24,799 typically with when you're doing things 411 00:17:28,870 --> 00:17:26,799 with small things like fingernails 412 00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:28,880 you'll get a piece of tape and kind of 413 00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:30,559 invert it and stick it near you so that 414 00:17:33,830 --> 00:17:32,480 you can grab little things like that and 415 00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:33,840 stick it to the tape while you're 416 00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:35,840 continuing continuing to do what you're 417 00:17:38,789 --> 00:17:37,360 doing and then when you're done of 418 00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:38,799 course you wire that up and throw it 419 00:17:44,789 --> 00:17:40,480 away 420 00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:46,630 my name is landon collish and our 421 00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:48,720 stomach aches more severe in space due 422 00:17:58,870 --> 00:17:57,029 that's a good question and nobody in my 423 00:18:02,230 --> 00:17:58,880 crew so far has had one so i can't 424 00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:02,240 truthfully answer that i don't think so 425 00:18:05,510 --> 00:18:03,840 your stomach is kind of in a different 426 00:18:07,029 --> 00:18:05,520 position obviously than it is on earth 427 00:18:09,110 --> 00:18:07,039 it's just kind of floating in the middle 428 00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:09,120 of your body it's not sitting down lower 429 00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:11,440 like when gravity's pulling on it 430 00:18:15,029 --> 00:18:13,360 but i'm not sure it would be more severe 431 00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:15,039 or not i don't think so i think it would 432 00:18:22,070 --> 00:18:18,640 feel very similar to being on earth 433 00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:24,150 hello my name is raquel watkins and i 434 00:18:31,029 --> 00:18:25,840 was just wondering what do you miss the 435 00:18:34,789 --> 00:18:32,789 well that's an easy one
