it's a 85 00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:28,800 machine that we can do pretty much 86 00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:30,560 everything you can do on earth from 87 00:04:35,110 --> 00:04:33,360 squats to bench press

00:06:58,710 --> 00:06:48,560 most unexpected thing that has happened 138 00:07:02,150 --> 00:06:59,909 that's a good question we're having to 139 00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:02,160 think about that when a lot of the stuff 140 00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:05,360 we did expect um and we were trained for 141 00:07:09,510 --> 00:07:07,520 i'm trying to we had we had a couple 142 00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:09,520

ourselves 208 00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:52,560 and so far i'm kind of holding steady so 209 00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:58,550 hi peggy and shane this is herb baker i 210 00:10:01,829 --> 00:10:00,080 actually just retired from nasa but i 211 00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:01,839 can't stay away obviously 212 00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:04,959 so my question is about the bigelow 213 00:10:09,110 --> 00:10:07,040 expandable module have you guys spent 214 00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:09,120 any time in it and is it passing all of 215 00:10:18,550 --> 00:10:15,910 actually shane was in it once very early 216 00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:18,560 on in his mission and we're going to go 217 00:10:21,430 --> 00:10:19,760 in tomorrow 218 00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:21,440 as a matter of fact we're doing some 219 00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:24,800 testing in there uh and and 220 00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:26,880 actually trying to assess if that that 221 00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:28,640 type of hardware is going to be valuable 222 00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:30,240 for us in future 223 00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:32,640 missions whether it's building habitats 224 00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:34,640 on planets or 225 00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:36,480 adding additional modules to space 226 00:10:42,790 --> 00:10:39,200 stations like this one 227 00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:44,870 hi i'm alexandra becker with the texas 228 00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:46,720 medical center and my question is what 229 00:10:51,110 --> 00:10:48,880 are you doing on the international space 230 00:10:57,190 --> 00:10:51,120 space station to help advance human 231 00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:58,389 actually we're doing a number of 232 00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:00,880 different scientific investigations that 233 00:11:05,509 --> 00:11:04,000 i i hope will also contribute to 234 00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:05,519 human health 235 00:11:08,949 --> 00:11:07,600 on earth as well 236 00:11:11,590 --> 00:11:08,959 we're doing 237 00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:11,600 fluid shift studies looking at how the 238 00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:14,079 fluids in our bodies shift and make 239 00:11:17,670 --> 00:11:16,000 changes in our bodies in particular 240 00:11:19,670 --> 00:11:17,680 we're concerned about some of the vision 241 00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:19,680 changes that we've seen 242 00:11:23,509 --> 00:11:22,160 in astronauts and we're trying to better 243 00:11:25,829 --> 00:11:23,519 understand that 244 00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:25,839 another study that i'm in is 245 00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:28,560 looking at oxidative damage 246 00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:30,480 as a result of in being in this 247 00:11:34,230 --> 00:11:32,240 environment a microgravity environment 248 00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:34,240 to look at long-term effects 249 00:11:40,230 --> 00:11:36,320 on the potential for cardiovascular 250 00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:40,240 disease using microgravity as a 251 00:12:26,710 --> 00:11:41,040 a 252 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:26,720 systems our life support systems here 253 00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:28,320 we're testing those out now for 254 00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:30,800 potentially going to places like mars 255 00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:32,240 we're a couple hundred miles off the 256 00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:34,000 earth right now 257 00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:35,519 some of the systems aren't super 258 00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:37,600 critical for us some are and we're glad 259 00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:39,360 they're working but we'd have a lot of 260 00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:41,040 redundancy on things that are really 261 00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:43,200 critical but if you go to a place like 262 00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:44,720 mars which is millions and millions of 263 00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:47,040 miles away from the earth you really got 264 00:12:51,829 --> 00:12:49,760 to have those systems perform perfectly 265 00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:51,839 every time so we're kind of hammering 266 00:12:54,389 --> 00:12:53,279 out a lot of those issues now with the 267 00:12:57,990 --> 00:12:54,399 regener 268 00:12:59,350 --> 00:12:58,000 whether that's urine or sweat or 269 00:13:01,350 --> 00:12:59,360 whatever it is on board that we can 270 00:13:03,590 --> 00:13:01,360 create into drinking water things like 271 00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:03,600 that are kind of the technology we're 272 00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:05,360 going to take as we go towards mars here 273 00:13:14,550 --> 00:13:12,629 hi i'm callie mcpherson and my question 274 00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:14,560 is what was your first night in space 275 00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:23,030 uh let's see i don't remember a whole 276 00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:24,480 lot of it we got up here kind of in the 277 00:13:27,829 --> 00:13:26,320 middle of the night so we had a few 278 00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:27,839 hours of work to do and then we kind of 279 00:13:32,069 --> 00:13:30,000 just went to bed sleeping is a lot 280 00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:32,079 different up here as you might imagine 281 00:13:36,069 --> 00:13:33,680 but i really enjoyed i think peggy 282 00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:36,079 sleeps very well up here as well so um 283 00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:37,680 it's not a bad thing for us we have a 284 00:13:41,189 --> 00:13:39,360 little small bedroom it's kind of like a 285 00:13:42,550 --> 00:13:41,199 small closet where you can get in there 286 00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:42,560 and that's kind of your private space 287 00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:44,079 and that's where you put your sleeping 288 00:13:53,269 --> 00:13:46,320 bag on the wall and go to bed every 289 00:13:58,470 --> 00:13:56,310 hi my name is jessica bolanos aka fancy 290 00:14:01,269 --> 00:13:58,480 capitalist with good sparrow 291 00:14:09,670 --> 00:14:01,279 and my question is what is your favorite 292

all the 295 00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:19,120 scientific research being a scientist by 296 00:14:23,110 --> 00:14:21,360 background i really love doing all the 297 00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:23,120 hands-on work 298 00:14:27,110 --> 00:14:25,519 that's required of us 299 00:14:31,269 --> 00:14:27,120 shane and i have had an opportunity to 300 00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:31,279 do space walk already and that's a very 301 00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:32,320 interesting 302 00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:34,320 mental and physical challenge that i 303 00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:36,560 enjoy very much as well and 304 00:14:40,870 --> 00:14:38,240 the view gets even better when you're 305 00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:40,880 outside uh in a space suit 306 00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:42,959 and of course every day any like i 307 00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:46,000 mentioned uh the views of earth are 308 00:14:50,949 --> 00:14:48,560 incredible and beautiful and so varied 309 00:14:52,629 --> 00:14:50,959 that it's it's impossible to get tired 310 00:14:53,509 --> 00:14:52,639 of looking out the window 311 00:14:55,189 --> 00:14:53,519 so 312 00:14:58,470 --> 00:14:55,199 everything that we do up here is a fun 313 00:15:01,590 --> 00:14:58,480 and just being in zero gravity is is so 314 00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:01,600 novel and unique that it it every day 315 00:15:13,269 --> 00:15:11,670 hi shane hi peggy this is kate baker 316 00:15:15,189 --> 00:15:13,279 from the science fiction and fantasy 317 00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:15,199 writers of america first of all this is 318 00:15:18,389 --> 00:15:16,320 so cool 319 00:15:20,230 --> 00:15:18,399 second of all um 320 00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:20,240 we would like to know as writers because 321 00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:21,760 we're always looking for new information 322 00:15:25,829 --> 00:15:24,000 for our stories what is it like 323 00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:25,839 when you come back to earth what is the 324 00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:32,550 so peggy will have a lot more experience 325 00:15:36,069 --> 00:15:34,240 than i do on this i had a shuttle flight 326 00:15:37,030 --> 00:15:36,079 earlier in my career this is a lot 327 00:15:38,790 --> 00:15:37,040 different where i'm going to be up here 328 00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:38,800 for about six months so my body will 329 00:15:43,430 --> 00:15:41,279 adjust a little differently um 330 00:15:45,430 --> 00:15:43,440 but it took me a few days two or three 331 00:15:47,749 --> 00:15:45,440 days after my shuttle flight for my kind 332 00:15:50,069 --> 00:15:47,759 of equilibrium to kind of settle out and 333 00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:50,079 for me to feel pretty decent i think 334 00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:51,360 hopefully it'll be about the same just 335 00:15:54,790 --> 00:15:52,800 because of the workout program we're on 336 00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:54,800 is going to help a lot and 337 00:15:58,150 --> 00:15:56,399 i'm hoping it's not going to be a week 338 00:16:01,110 --> 00:15:58,160 or two but we'll see everybody's a 339 00:16:06,069 --> 00:16:03,670 and some some folks get sick coming up 340 00:16:08,069 --> 00:16:06,079 hill getting and being in space and some 341 00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:08,079 folks get sick going downhill and i'm 342 00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:09,600 i'm the kind that gets sick going 343 00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:11,680 downhill so returning home for me is a 344 00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:13,680 lot more challenging than coming up to 345 00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:16,560 space i adapt much quickly more quickly 346 00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:19,279 coming up instead of going down 347 00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:22,880 but it it does last for several days uh 348 00:16:27,509 --> 00:16:25,920 the first 24 hours after i returned on 349 00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:27,519 my first flight i was pretty sure i 350 00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:28,959 needed to go back to space because i 351 00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:30,240 didn't really want to be on earth 352 00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:39,189 good morning peggy good morning shane uh 353 00:16:45,269 --> 00:16:41,279 my name is sandy max i'm from milwaukee 354 00:16:47,269 --> 00:16:45,279 uh milwaukee pbs and also radio wklh 355

--> 00:17:02,560 wanted to know 364 00:17:06,390 --> 00:17:04,640 what is the brightest light 365 00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:06,400 natural or man-made 366 00:17:21,909 --> 00:17:08,880 that you can see from the iss that's on 367 00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:23,189 sorry we're trying to figure that one 368 00:17:26,870 --> 00:17:25,120 out that's a great question um 369 00:17:28,950 --> 00:17:26,880 yeah the most of the big bright lights 370 00:17:30,870 --> 00:17:28,960 are in in big cities so there's nothing 371 00:17:32,950 --> 00:17:30,880 that stands out to me that i've seen and 372 00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:32,960 i'm like oh yeah that's that light or 373 00:17:36,230 --> 00:17:34,000 whatever 374 00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:36,240 but it's all man-made of course the city 375 00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:38,080 as a whole kind of looks like 376 00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:39,360 you know the bigger ones are brighter 377 00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:41,760 than others um sorry i can't answer that 378 00:17:45,350 --> 00:17:43,679 one completely 379 00:17:47,669 --> 00:17:45,360 i'm kind of proud of myself stump to the 380 00:17:51,990 --> 00:17:47,679 uh stunt the iss astronauts thanks so 381 00:17:58,230 --> 00:17:55,510 buenos dias iss miyama eduardo ruskoski 382 00:17:59,909 --> 00:17:58,240 good morning iss 383 00:18:01,669 --> 00:17:59,919 i'm blessed to have the last question of 384 00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:01,679 the day here but first i want to mention 385 00:18:05,190 --> 00:18:03,600 that i grew up in a small town north of 386 00:18:08,230 --> 00:18:05,200 pittsburgh where another football 387 00:18:09,909 --> 00:18:08,240 dynasty happens to reside and i played 388 00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:09,919 high school football but soon learned 389 00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:11,919 when i graduated that 390 00:18:15,909 --> 00:18:13,520 sports was not for me and in the 391 00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:15,919 aerospace and sciences were and i got 392 00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:18,640 into that so i'm a space cadet and that 393 00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:20,480 is the basis for my question which is 394 00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:23,120 the last question today last week nasa's 395 00:18:28,549 --> 00:18:25,760 solar dynamics observatory photographed 396 00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:28,559 a large canyon hole that opened in the 397 00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:30,320 sun's atmosphere 398 00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:33,520 it's spewing a stream of solar wind 399 00:18:37,830 --> 00:18:36,080 directly toward earth and iss 400 00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:37,840 it is said that such a fast-moving 401 00:18:43,510 --> 00:18:40,880 stream is sure to spark arctic auras 402 00:18:46,310 --> 00:18:43,520 it arrives today by the way 403 00:18:48,549 --> 00:18:46,320 my my question is uh are there or were 404
