1 00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:02,470 station this is houston are you ready 2 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,150 yes i'm ready for the event 3 00:00:16,310 --> 00:00:14,310 cartel elementary school this is mission 4 00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:16,320 control houston please call station for 5 00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:18,320 a voice check please pull station for a 6 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:32,709 i have you loud and clear 7 00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:34,790 great we 8 00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:44,950 actually i've wanted to become an 9 00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:47,760 astronaut for a long time so i'm looking 10 00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:51,600 forward to answering all your questions 11 00:01:01,830 --> 00:01:00,150 my role model growing up was actually 12 00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:01,840 probably my parents 13 00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:03,280 they 14 00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:06,640 do to this day 15 00:01:12,149 --> 00:01:09,200 and they are two of the hardest working 16 00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:12,159 people i know and i think i learned that 17 00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:14,080 work ethic from them 18 00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:16,080 and that that drive 19 00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:18,400 and i think that's what helped make me 20 00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:22,560 successful in my uh pursuit of a goal to 21 00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:24,880 become an astronaut 22 00:01:31,990 --> 00:01:27,600 when did you decide to focus on becoming 23 00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:34,230 actually i i happened to think i wanted 24 00:01:38,789 --> 00:01:36,320 to be an astronaut when i was nine years 25 00:01:41,749 --> 00:01:38,799 old and watched the first guys walk on 26 00:01:44,149 --> 00:01:41,759 the moon but it really didn't become i 27 00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:44,159 think a goal for me until i graduated 28 00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:45,840 from high school and that was the year 29 00:01:50,069 --> 00:01:47,280 they first picked 30 00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:50,079 female astronauts so that's when i i 31 00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:52,079 decided i want to become an astronaut it 32 00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:54,320 was a very very difficult thing but 33 00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:57,600 again that that determination uh 34 00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:04,469 what would you be you were 35 00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:06,719 what would you be if you were not after 36 00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:14,070 um i think if i weren't an astronaut i 37 00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:15,120 would 38 00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:17,920 still be working at nasa i love nasa and 39 00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:20,080 what it stands for the exploration of 40 00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:21,040 space 41 00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:24,239 understanding more about our planet and 42 00:02:28,309 --> 00:02:26,239 where it came from understanding more 43 00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:28,319 about the stars 44 00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:31,760 that whole exploration process to me is 45 00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:33,840 very interesting and something that 46 00:02:37,589 --> 00:02:36,000 appealed to me so i think i would still 47 00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:37,599 work at nasa there are a lot of folks 48 00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:40,400 who work at nasa who aren't astronauts 49 00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:46,150 what was your most memorable space 50 00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:53,830 well living up here every day 51 00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:56,720 is actually an incredibly memorable 52 00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:58,239 experience 53 00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:00,640 becoming used to to being in zero 54 00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:02,640 gravity where you 55 00:03:05,830 --> 00:03:04,400 can float in all different kinds of 56 00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:05,840 directions 57 00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:08,239 and it all feels the same you work it 58 00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:10,400 here and live here it's actually 59 00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:12,879 extremely memorable but probably the 60 00:03:19,270 --> 00:03:15,200 most uh significant thing 61 00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:19,280 is actually doing a space walk and 62 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:21,440 i i think when you're out in a space 63 00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:23,760 suit it's like being in your own little 64 00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:25,760 individual spaceship 65 00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:29,200 and being able to see our huge structure 66 00:03:32,470 --> 00:03:30,480 this this 67 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:32,480 i'm you're just looking at one module 68 00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:35,040 that we live in there's many modules up 69 00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:37,840 here the truss structure that holds the 70 00:03:40,949 --> 00:03:40,159 solar arrays is longer than a football 71 00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:40,959 field 72 00:03:47,589 --> 00:03:44,560 it's really amazing uh this technical 73 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:47,599 achievement we have and then you get the 74 00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:50,080 beauty of planet earth below us to look 75 00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:52,640 at so all of it is very spectacular but 76 00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:54,720 i think the space walk is is probably 77 00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:00,949 how did it feel to make history and 78 00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:02,959 become the first woman commander of an 79 00:04:12,390 --> 00:04:09,990 well in in many ways it was never 80 00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:12,400 something that i had necessarily planned 81 00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:14,959 on for a long time but as i 82 00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:18,000 worked at nasa and after i had flown a 83 00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:20,160 space flight it became 84 00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:22,160 obvious to me that i could do the role 85 00:04:27,189 --> 00:04:23,840 of being a commander 86 00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:27,199 and i just set my sights on trying to do 87 00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:28,720 that as well 88 00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:31,040 i was never setting my sights on the 89 00:04:35,990 --> 00:04:33,520 role of being the first female commander 90 00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:36,000 but it worked out that way i was very 91 00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:37,840 lucky in that regard and i guess to be 92 00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:40,080 the first it was a very much an honor to 93 00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:44,310 and it's a huge privilege to be able to 94 00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:46,560 do it again 95 00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:48,560 what events do you miss most on or 96 00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:50,320 through their decision to spend time 97 00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:01,510 um i think probably the thing i miss the 98 00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:03,280 most 99 00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:05,360 from earth is just actually visiting 100 00:05:08,469 --> 00:05:07,360 with friends and family i can talk to 101 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,479 them on the 102 00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:10,400 internet protocol phone that we have 103 00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:13,600 it's kind of like a skype phone 104 00:05:17,590 --> 00:05:15,759 we don't always have video but it's 105 00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:17,600 actually great to be able to stay in 106 00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:19,680 touch but just hanging out with friends 107 00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:21,919 and family i think is the thing i miss 108 00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:26,710 what were the keys to reaching your 109 00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:35,350 i i think that determination and work 110 00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:38,880 ethic i think were key for me 111 00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:39,840 i 112 00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:43,199 well 113 00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:45,520 but that paid off that all the studying 114 00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:47,919 paid off for me 115 00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:48,800 so i 116 00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:51,440 i think determination and work ethic are 117 00:06:02,550 --> 00:05:56,790 how does the food you grow in space 118 00:06:05,749 --> 00:06:04,150 that's a good question we've grown a 119 00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:05,759 couple of different things up here in 120 00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:07,840 space when i got here shane was already 121 00:06:11,189 --> 00:06:09,360 growing some lettuce 122 00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:11,199 and then after that i grew some stuff 123 00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:13,120 that was called chinese cabbage but was 124 00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:15,440 also very similar to lettuce 125 00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:17,600 and it tasted great we had the 126 00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:20,560 opportunity to harvest it and eat some 127 00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:21,680 of it 128 00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:23,520 it didn't really taste different other 129 00:06:28,870 --> 00:06:25,840 than it's very unique 130 00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:28,880 up here to have fresh fresh vegetables 131 00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:31,520 and so it tasted fantastic better than 132 00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:34,400 any lettuce i've ever had on the ground 133 00:06:41,189 --> 00:06:36,560 when do you think civilians begin to 134 00:06:45,350 --> 00:06:43,749 actually that's a really good question 135 00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:45,360 and 136 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:47,520 we have a lot of commercial companies 137 00:06:51,629 --> 00:06:50,720 now in the united states who are trying 138 00:06:53,189 --> 00:06:51,639 to 139 00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:53,199 commercialize 140 00:06:58,230 --> 00:06:56,000 access to space and i think that we are 141 00:07:03,510 --> 00:06:58,240 not that far away so i'm sure that in 142 00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:03,520 your lifetimes you will see a time where 143 00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:06,400 anyone can can buy a seat and go to 144 00:07:10,870 --> 00:07:08,800 space 145 00:07:14,790 --> 00:07:10,880 describe what earth looks like from your 146 00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:17,510 well we're about 250 miles above the 147 00:07:23,029 --> 00:07:20,240 earth uh going at 17 148 00:07:26,230 --> 00:07:23,039 500 miles an hour and our view of the 149 00:07:27,189 --> 00:07:26,240 earth is actually uh it covers most of 150 00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:27,199 the 151 00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:29,039 our view below us 152 00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:31,360 and obviously about half of the time 153 00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:33,120 we're in the sunshine and half of the 154 00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:35,120 time we're in night time we go around 155 00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:38,160 the earth about once every 90 minutes 156 00:07:44,869 --> 00:07:39,039 and 157 00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:44,879 four years is quite spectacular 158 00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:47,280 but to me i think the most beautiful 159 00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:49,680 beautiful thing about our planet is uh 160 00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:51,360 looking at the limb of the earth the 161 00:07:55,830 --> 00:07:53,039 curve of the earth 162 00:07:59,189 --> 00:07:55,840 that we can see from our viewpoint 163 00:08:02,390 --> 00:07:59,199 especially at sunrise and sunset it is 164 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:08,390 what is your favorite book and why 165 00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:10,390 i think you know growing up my favorite 166 00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:12,400 book was illusions 167 00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:14,240 by richard bach 168 00:08:19,029 --> 00:08:16,240 and i think it it 169 00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:19,039 had one saying in it that i think is is 170 00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:20,720 very uh 171 00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:22,560 important 172 00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:23,840 and 173 00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:26,000 you can become you're never given a wish 174 00:08:31,670 --> 00:08:29,280 without also being given the power to 175 00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:31,680 make it true you may have to work for it 176 00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:36,870 did you have any fears on your first 177 00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:43,029 that's a good question i think probably 178 00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:44,800 the thing i was most afraid of was 179 00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:47,440 making mistakes and uh 180 00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:48,480 you know 181 00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:50,560 that's something we don't want to do 182 00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:52,959 none of us want to do that 183 00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:54,399 so i think that was probably the biggest 184 00:08:59,430 --> 00:08:57,040 fear but we do a lot of training and 185 00:09:02,230 --> 00:08:59,440 that really helps us and prepares us for 186 00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:02,240 those situations where for instance if 187 00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:05,120 we had a bad day on station we practice 188 00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:07,040 all the emergencies that we would do so 189 00:09:10,870 --> 00:09:09,040 that we understand what our role and 190 00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:10,880 responsibility would be during those 191 00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:12,959 emergencies 192 00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:15,360 so i think because of all the training 193 00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:17,279 there were not so many fears it's just 194 00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:20,000 other than in general i don't want to 195 00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:22,240 make mistakes and so that that was my 196 00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:24,560 biggest fear 197 00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:26,320 what was your favorite subject in 198 00:09:34,389 --> 00:09:32,389 my favorite subject 199 00:09:36,230 --> 00:09:34,399 was biology i think that was probably my 200 00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:36,240 first love i ended up getting a 201 00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:39,360 bachelor's degree in biology and another 202 00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:41,600 bachelor's degree in chemistry 203 00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:44,399 and later a 204 00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:52,470 what new investigations are your crew 205 00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:00,630 actually the one investigation that i'm 206 00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:03,120 working on right now that i enjoy am 207 00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:05,360 enjoying the most is looking at stem 208 00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:08,160 cell growth these are special cells that 209 00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:09,360 are part 210 00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:12,480 uh that can be used uh potentially in 211 00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:15,120 the future to help fight cancer 212 00:10:19,590 --> 00:10:17,360 uh there's some gene therapy cell and 213 00:10:21,990 --> 00:10:19,600 gene therapies now and these special 214 00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:22,000 cells uh 215 00:10:25,829 --> 00:10:24,160 make it possible to do these kind of 216 00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:25,839 therapies 217 00:10:29,430 --> 00:10:27,440 but the thing that we're trying to do 218 00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:29,440 here is see if we can grow them 219 00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:31,600 proliferate them grow them in big 220 00:10:34,949 --> 00:10:33,040 batches 221 00:10:37,269 --> 00:10:34,959 maybe better than we can on earth and 222 00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:37,279 try and understand that process 223 00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:39,760 and since one of the things that i did 224 00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:42,560 in my research was growing tissues it's 225 00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:44,880 called tissue culture 226 00:10:56,069 --> 00:10:49,990 what was your most 227 00:11:00,710 --> 00:10:58,550 actually that's an easy question because 228 00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:00,720 growing up i was very shy 229 00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:01,920 and 230 00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:06,399 so it's very difficult to do public 231 00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:10,000 speaking but growing up and in 4-h club 232 00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:13,360 i had to give presentations to in public 233 00:11:19,509 --> 00:11:16,800 into groups initially just the 4-h club 234 00:11:21,910 --> 00:11:19,519 and then it expanded and doing 235 00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:21,920 presentations in the community and 236 00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:24,640 eventually i did presentations at the 237 00:11:29,829 --> 00:11:27,200 state fair which was a 238 00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:29,839 pretty big deal for me as shy as i was 239 00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:30,959 and so 240 00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:33,680 being able to overcome that hurdle was 241 00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:36,480 very important 242 00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:38,880 what are the top three tunes on your 243 00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:45,030 actually i enjoy a lots of different 244 00:11:50,949 --> 00:11:48,160 music uh probably the three groups i 245 00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:50,959 listen the most to are coldplay and 246 00:12:01,590 --> 00:11:56,550 what would you change on the 247 00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:03,430 what would i change on the international 248 00:12:07,030 --> 00:12:05,120 space station i think that's actually a 249 00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:07,040 really good question 250 00:12:12,790 --> 00:12:09,360 and generally i would say i would like 251 00:12:14,629 --> 00:12:12,800 to have even more laboratories but 252 00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:14,639 after the work i was doing the last 253 00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:16,079 couple of days i think i want more 254 00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:21,990 in late april you will surpass jeff 255 00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:23,839 williams record for the american with 256 00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:26,480 the most cumulative time and space how 257 00:12:36,470 --> 00:12:34,470 i think setting records 258 00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:36,480 in exploration is very important it 259 00:12:41,509 --> 00:12:38,560 shows that we're advancing 260 00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:41,519 in our capabilities and so i think 261 00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:43,440 setting the record is is extremely 262 00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:45,120 important i don't think who holds the 263 00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:47,040 records is important and i hope that 264 00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:49,040 someone will surpass my record in the 265 00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:50,720 very near future 266 00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:53,920 and i hope that you you young people in 267 00:13:04,470 --> 00:12:56,320 your futures will surpass all the 268 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:10,340 what 269 00:13:10,350 --> 00:13:17,269 [Music] 270 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:19,670 what does your family think about your 271 00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:26,230 well i hope they're proud i think they 272 00:13:45,509 --> 00:13:40,629 what words of encouragement do you have 273 00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:48,470 actually that's really easy i think it 274 00:13:54,150 --> 00:13:51,040 is important for young people to dream 275 00:13:57,110 --> 00:13:54,160 big and i and i mean really big do think 276 00:13:59,430 --> 00:13:57,120 about things that you might not imagine 277 00:14:02,150 --> 00:13:59,440 or see yourself doing and imagine 278 00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:02,160 yourself there and then pursue it as a 279 00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:05,360 goal because you can accomplish it 280 00:14:11,110 --> 00:14:07,440 accomplish it so 281 00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:12,949 good morning this is mr johnson the 282 00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:14,880 principal here at hartsfield could you 283 00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:16,880 tell my scholars about the module that 284 00:14:19,670 --> 00:14:18,480 you're in and maybe point out some of 285 00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:19,680 the things 286 00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:26,470 sure thing that's a great question here 287 00:14:31,509 --> 00:14:28,800 right next to me i was telling you about 288 00:14:33,430 --> 00:14:31,519 the stem cell research i was doing 289 00:14:35,990 --> 00:14:33,440 and i actually have a microscope set up 290 00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:36,000 here and it's hooked up to a camera so 291 00:14:40,870 --> 00:14:38,160 that the ground team can look at it and 292 00:14:43,189 --> 00:14:40,880 see what i'm doing 293 00:14:45,829 --> 00:14:43,199 so that's really fun to be able to do 294 00:14:48,310 --> 00:14:45,839 that we've got lots of different uh 295 00:14:51,189 --> 00:14:48,320 things here right next to me here is uh 296 00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:51,199 the uh sevis it's a 297 00:14:55,509 --> 00:14:53,360 a cycle ergometer that we use for 298 00:14:57,829 --> 00:14:55,519 exercise we exercise about two and a 299 00:15:00,470 --> 00:14:57,839 half hours every day because we don't 300 00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:00,480 want to lose bone mass or muscle 301 00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:02,160 strength while we're up here because 302 00:15:06,949 --> 00:15:04,720 when you're floating around like this 303 00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:06,959 your bones and muscles just don't get 304 00:15:11,670 --> 00:15:08,800 the same stimulation that they do on the 305 00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:11,680 ground so we have to exercise every day 306 00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:14,480 we have laptops everywhere that control 307 00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:17,920 different experiments this is a barrier 308 00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:20,000 we have a very interesting experiment 309 00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:21,920 going on inside here with a large 310 00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:24,000 microscope and the ground team is 311 00:15:27,430 --> 00:15:26,160 watching and following the experiment as 312 00:15:29,670 --> 00:15:27,440 it's going on 313 00:15:31,269 --> 00:15:29,680 and further back here you can see 314 00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:31,279 we have 315 00:15:37,509 --> 00:15:35,360 a robotic workstation this controls our 316 00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:37,519 17 meter 317 00:15:41,990 --> 00:15:39,440 arm that's outside 318 00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:42,000 uh so by using these hand controllers 319 00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:43,920 and the monitors 320 00:15:49,110 --> 00:15:47,279 uh we can control that rob that large 321 00:15:51,110 --> 00:15:49,120 robotic arm that's outside and that's 322 00:15:53,189 --> 00:15:51,120 really important for doing various 323 00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:53,199 activities and the ground team can 324 00:15:57,269 --> 00:15:55,120 control it or we can control it here 325 00:15:59,749 --> 00:15:57,279 from the module 326 00:16:01,590 --> 00:15:59,759 and we we capture the visiting vehicle 327 00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:01,600 for instance last week tomorrow and 328 00:16:03,910 --> 00:16:02,720 shane 329 00:16:06,790 --> 00:16:03,920 captured 330 00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:06,800 the spacex dragon vehicle it's a cargo 331 00:16:12,069 --> 00:16:10,000 craft and it come it comes into close to 332 00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:12,079 the station and hovers and then using 333 00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:14,560 the robotic arm we go out and grab it 334 00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:17,120 and then set it on the station and then 335 00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:19,920 unload all the supplies from inside and 336 00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:22,880 then using the arm we can take payloads 337 00:16:27,590 --> 00:16:25,360 out of the outside and attach them to 338 00:16:30,550 --> 00:16:27,600 the station so it's actually very neat 339 00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:32,230 thank you for that my last and final 340 00:16:35,990 --> 00:16:33,519 question would be 341 00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:36,000 what could you say to our scholars here 342 00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:38,720 about as far as being future researchers 343 00:16:41,350 --> 00:16:40,240 what is the most important thing that 344 00:16:48,629 --> 00:16:41,360 you learn 345 00:16:52,870 --> 00:16:50,710 that's actually a really good question 346 00:16:54,629 --> 00:16:52,880 i think uh 347 00:16:58,230 --> 00:16:54,639 being questioning 348 00:17:00,310 --> 00:16:58,240 uh developing hypothesis developing a 349 00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:00,320 theory for why you think something might 350 00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:03,199 be happening and then figuring out the 351 00:17:07,909 --> 00:17:05,600 right experiment to test and prove or 352 00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:07,919 disprove that hypothesis 353 00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:10,000 is very important uh 354 00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:12,640 in scientific research and actually you 355 00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:14,319 know it's it's actually a good thing to 356 00:17:18,549 --> 00:17:16,720 keep in mind uh in terms of how you 357 00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:18,559 approach life 358 00:17:23,029 --> 00:17:20,160 you don't want to have a preconceived 359 00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:23,039 notion necessarily of an outcome but if 360 00:17:27,189 --> 00:17:25,120 you can make a plan and a hypothesis and 361 00:17:29,110 --> 00:17:27,199 figure out 362 00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:29,120 what what's what was accurate and what 363 00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:31,120 was accurate not accurate about what you 364 00:17:36,549 --> 00:17:33,919 had imagined it to be but definitely 365 00:17:39,029 --> 00:17:36,559 pursue those goals because and and 366 00:17:40,789 --> 00:17:39,039 answer the questions look for questions 367 00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:40,799 and try and answer them i think that's 368 00:17:52,710 --> 00:17:47,270 were you able to see the movie hidden 369 00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:56,070 actually they they sent it up to us uh 370 00:17:59,590 --> 00:17:57,760 prior actually to when it opened which 371 00:18:02,630 --> 00:17:59,600 was really special for us to get to 372 00:18:03,669 --> 00:18:02,640 watch it appear on orbit 373 00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:03,679 i had 374 00:18:07,110 --> 00:18:06,000 read the book and so i was really 375 00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:07,120 impressed 376 00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:10,400 with how it was portrayed in the movie 377 00:18:14,630 --> 00:18:11,440 and 378 00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:14,640 obviously it's an incredible story 379 00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:24,390 we at huntsville elementary wednesday 380 00:18:29,350 --> 00:18:27,280 thank you so much dr wilson for taking 381 00:18:36,630 --> 00:18:29,360 the time to talk with us 382 00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:38,950 well you guys had fantastic questions 383 00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:41,440 and it was really a blast to talk to you 384 00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:42,960 and i'm going to just show you one last
