scientific and technical locations

46
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,030
well for the uh

47
00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:06,630

astrophysicist who is next to me

49
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:11,680
she's a lady and we have with us the

50
00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:12,480

where you are the planet must be

64
00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:45,120

73
00:04:20,740 --> 00:04:11,930
hello thomas

74
00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:23,130
[Applause]

75
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:28,790
how do you feel a sense of vertigo up

76
00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:30,800
there

77
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:32,479
that fellowship told you i'm sorry i

78
00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:34,240
didn't understand the question could you

79
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:49,350
did you feel the sense of vertigo up

80
00:04:54,150 --> 00:04:51,440
there it's a very good question listen

81
00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:54,160
no i didn't feel vertigo because

82
00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:56,639
my brain was accustomed to it

83
00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:58,000
i was accustomed to the idea that i

84
00:05:01,670 --> 00:04:59,840
wasn't going to fall you see i can pitch

85
00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:01,680
myself up to the ceiling and i

86
00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:03,039
understood that it would work well that

87
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:04,720
there would be no falling and so that's

88
00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:06,800
what happened outside of the space

89
00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:08,560
center

90
00:05:12,710 --> 00:05:09,919
other things that i am afraid of and

91
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:12,720
that's losing my tools not to be able to

92
00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:16,160
uh be able to fulfill the stage of

93
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:18,000
the tasks that are given to me and so i

94
00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:20,160
need to concentrate you see i can see my

95
00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:21,600
feet beneath me

96
00:05:26,469 --> 00:05:25,039
450 kilometers of emptiness of space it

97
00:05:32,060 --> 00:05:26,479
was such a super feeling i took

98
00:05:32,070 --> 00:05:35,189
[Music]

99
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:47,350
here's tomas would like to would

100
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:59,749
is

101
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:01,270
i'm sorry once again i could not

102
00:06:04,629 --> 00:06:03,440
understand the sound is very

103
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:04,639
poor could you repeat your question

104
00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:12,630
hello thomas

105
00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:16,240
[Music]

106
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:17,919
haley from the class to represent our

107
00:06:22,210 --> 00:06:33,110
[Music]

108
00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:35,430
that you can eat that you can grow yes

109
00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:37,840
we grow plants to see how they will

110
00:06:42,150 --> 00:06:39,360
function in space

111
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:44,150
educate the scientific people on earth

112
00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:46,400
scientists on earth but you know we eat

113
00:06:50,870 --> 00:06:48,880
whatever we can we don't have a lot of

114
00:06:53,510 --> 00:06:50,880
fresh food most of what we have is in

115
00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:53,520
cans so every friday we

116
00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:56,000
harvest our salad we get together and we

117
00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:57,919
prepare a dinner all together with our

118
00:07:01,430 --> 00:06:59,360
international

119
00:07:03,749 --> 00:07:01,440
team or initial

120
00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:03,759
every friday we prefer salad

121
00:07:08,309 --> 00:07:05,680
and then of course we eat the rest of

122
00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:08,319
the uh food that we have on hand

123
00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:10,160
it was sort of like a feast out of it

124
00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:12,160
because salad is sort of

125
00:07:19,909 --> 00:07:14,080
not an ordinary thing but we do get to

126
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:22,550
hello this is janet thomas we'll pose a

127
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,550
um

128
00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:31,990
have you been able to get you can see

129
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:35,039
the land but can you also see the stars

130
00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:37,280
yes we observe the stars we observe the

131
00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:38,960
stars but you know the space standard

132
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:41,280
station has a lot of windows which look

133
00:07:44,950 --> 00:07:43,039
down toward earth or not many that look

134
00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:44,960
upwards toward the stars we have

135
00:07:47,909 --> 00:07:45,840
instruments for that we have

136
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:47,919
spectrometers which look toward the

137
00:07:53,189 --> 00:07:49,120
stars but

138
00:07:55,830 --> 00:07:53,199
we look to the slant a little bit uh

139
00:07:57,749 --> 00:07:55,840
we at night however we do observe the

140
00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:57,759
stars and we can see them going by very

141
00:08:02,390 --> 00:08:00,240
quickly we see very luminous very

142
00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:02,400
brilliant points that are the stars

143
00:08:06,869 --> 00:08:04,720
there's no pollution that keeps us from

144
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:06,879
seeing the stars really brightly

145
00:08:09,749 --> 00:08:08,240
and so we're able to read the

146
00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:09,759
constellations but it's not like on

147
00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:10,879
earth we don't have a lot of time

148
00:08:13,909 --> 00:08:12,560
because it goes by very quickly

149
00:08:15,749 --> 00:08:13,919
evidently it's one of the most beautiful

150
00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:15,759
things that you can say

151
00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:17,520
to imagine you can imagine how the stars

152
00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:18,400
are

153
00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:20,400
suspended on the

154
00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:22,080
firmament of space

155
00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:23,680
but of course the earth is much more

156
00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:25,360
beautiful because it's much more varied

157
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:27,440
there are many more colors more forms

158
00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:29,520
the blue of the oceans the mountains etc

159
00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:30,879
and so if i had to choose i'd rather

160
00:08:39,450 --> 00:08:32,240
look at the land

161
00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:47,880
[Music]

162
00:08:59,590 --> 00:08:57,509
i'm sorry i didn't understand or didn't

163
00:09:00,710 --> 00:08:59,600
hear the question rather

164
00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:00,720
it makes you feel

165
00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:02,240
there was a question about stars but i

166
00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:08,230
question about the stars let me repeat

167
00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:09,440
it

168
00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:11,920
the question was can you see the stars

169
00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:14,240
better from the space station can you

170
00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:16,240
see the colors of the stars better from

171
00:09:21,509 --> 00:09:18,959
the space station

172
00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:21,519
the colors yes we can see

173
00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:23,920
many more colors in the stars we see the

174
00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:25,200
colors in the stars we have new

175
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:27,440
instances of blue and red

176
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:28,640
and so

177
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:30,480
you have to become accustomed to you

178
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:32,080
have to accustom your vision to being

179
00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:33,760
able to when you're especially when

180
00:09:38,150 --> 00:09:35,600
you're the cupola to be able to discern

181
00:09:39,910 --> 00:09:38,160
the different stars colors and so then

182
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:39,920
we begin to distinguish the differences

183
00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:42,240
among the statues the stars the biggest

184
00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:43,680
the smallest

185
00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:45,680
the colors i can imagine that through

186
00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:47,600
the spectrometer you can see even better

187
00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:49,120
but in any case we can see it much more

188
00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:51,839
clearly than you can on land unless of

189
00:09:57,670 --> 00:09:53,200
course you're in a

190
00:10:01,829 --> 00:09:59,030
i would like to present you one of the

191
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:01,839
children who wants to ask you a question

192
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,990
is

193
00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:19,110
are we

194
00:10:23,430 --> 00:10:21,680
hit by debris here in space listen the

195
00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:23,440
station is very well protected and

196
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:25,200
armored against debris against small

197
00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:27,440
debris against major debris we have to

198
00:10:31,509 --> 00:10:29,760
maneuver to move the station to avoid

199
00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:31,519
the larger debris

200
00:10:37,509 --> 00:10:34,720
we are very seldom touched by debris

201
00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:37,519
happily we can hear them go by

202
00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:40,000
but we can see them from the uh window

203
00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:41,600
of the cupola which helps through which

204
00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:42,560
we

205
00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:44,800
observe the earth it'll make a small

206
00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:46,560
impact like for example when you have a

207
00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:48,000
little bit of gravel hitting the

208
00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:49,839
windshield of the car

209
00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:51,360
but happily

210
00:10:55,590 --> 00:10:53,519
we have very resistant windows it does

211
00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:55,600
make you think and worry a little bit

212
00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:57,040
it's a problem that we have to fight

213
00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:57,920
against

214
00:11:01,110 --> 00:10:59,279
and the space center

215
00:11:06,069 --> 00:11:01,120
agency has projects to clean up the

216
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:07,829
to clean the space

217
00:11:11,829 --> 00:11:09,839
of space debris

218
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:11,839
another question

219
00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:19,030
how is your experience in space

220
00:11:26,069 --> 00:11:25,110
well it's easier in space it's normal

221
00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:26,079
because

222
00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:29,600
when we train it's very we make it very

223
00:11:32,949 --> 00:11:31,440
difficult so that for the day when we do

224
00:11:34,790 --> 00:11:32,959
it for real it's going to be easier than

225
00:11:36,069 --> 00:11:34,800
it was in training that's why difference

226
00:11:37,350 --> 00:11:36,079
and other differences that in the

227
00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:37,360
swimming pool

228
00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:42,160
deep but you always have a floor beneath

229
00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:43,519
your feet and it's not a different

230
00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:45,360
feeling whereas when you're out here you

231
00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:46,800
don't have a floor there's difference

232
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:48,720
between day and night which we don't

233
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:50,720
simulate in the swimming pool when we

234
00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:53,600
train in the diving suit

235
00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:55,120
but of course when you're out here it's

236
00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:56,800
like somebody turns the light off you

237
00:12:00,790 --> 00:11:58,480
can even get lost because it's

238
00:12:02,790 --> 00:12:00,800
complicated it's a real labyrinth

239
00:12:04,069 --> 00:12:02,800
it's a little bit strange out here

240
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:04,079
you have to be a little bit more careful

241
00:12:07,829 --> 00:12:06,320
because evidently in the pool we have

242
00:12:09,910 --> 00:12:07,839
divers who are out there to help us and

243
00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:09,920
safety is much more easily afforded

244
00:12:12,949 --> 00:12:11,440
whereas when you're outside of the space

245
00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:12,959
station nobody can come out to help you

246
00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:14,399
so you really have to pay attention to

247
00:12:18,550 --> 00:12:16,399
what you do because your life is more at

248
00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:18,560
risk out here in space than when you're

249
00:12:30,629 --> 00:12:19,680
training

250
00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:32,389
what you're doing up there stimulates

251
00:12:36,069 --> 00:12:34,160
people's dreams but you have to study

252
00:12:37,750 --> 00:12:36,079
well to do it

253
00:12:41,670 --> 00:12:37,760
here's a young boy who has a question

254
00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:43,269
i think it's

255
00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:45,040
everything is done

256
00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:46,959
step by step basis

257
00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:49,600
you cannot be discouraged by a path that

258
00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:51,360
seems very long you have to do your best

259
00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:53,200
at school every day you have to do your

260
00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:55,440
best in sports you have to do your best

261
00:12:59,430 --> 00:12:56,720
to speak foreign languages there are

262
00:13:00,949 --> 00:12:59,440
many things that are learned also

263
00:13:02,550 --> 00:13:00,959
outside of school

264
00:13:04,389 --> 00:13:02,560
for example to become an astronaut my

265
00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:04,399
experience in sports

266
00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:06,800
in music my travels all of this is uh in

267
00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:08,320
the end has helped me quite a bit but i

268
00:13:12,389 --> 00:13:10,160
think you have to do all the things one

269
00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:12,399
by one you must not say to yourself well

270
00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:14,160
there's 10 years ahead it's going to be

271
00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:15,600
very difficult i'll never get to the end

272
00:13:19,030 --> 00:13:17,200
of it you have to tell yourself what do

273
00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:19,040
i do this year that as well what do i do

274
00:13:22,710 --> 00:13:20,959
next year

275
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:22,720
it's a construction it's an edifice that

276
00:13:26,550 --> 00:13:24,480
you build it's like a lego construction

277
00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:26,560
brick by brick you mustn't look at the

278
00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:29,680
end which shows you the constructed lego

279
00:13:33,269 --> 00:13:30,959
structure you have to begin from the

280
00:13:35,030 --> 00:13:33,279
beginning and then take it stage by

281
00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:35,040
stage this the way i did

282
00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:37,120
i think it works well is what i advise

283
00:13:42,550 --> 00:13:40,720
to the youngest and then everybody

284
00:13:45,110 --> 00:13:42,560
all kinds of specialties are needed in

285
00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:45,120
space there's not just astrophysicists

286
00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:47,440
and astronauts but there are many other

287
00:13:49,670 --> 00:13:48,480
paths

288
00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:49,680
professions that are interesting that

289
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,790
here's a question for you

290
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,120
from another student

291
00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:12,830
[Music]

292
00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:36,710
are we attached when we get out of the

293
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:41,990
when you leave the space station are you

294
00:14:53,430 --> 00:14:49,509
[Music]

295
00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:55,350
are you uh

296
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:56,240
yes

297
00:14:59,350 --> 00:14:57,440
when you leave

298
00:15:00,870 --> 00:14:59,360
you are attached because

299
00:15:02,629 --> 00:15:00,880
you want to be sure that you don't drift

300
00:15:05,269 --> 00:15:02,639
away into space

301
00:15:07,030 --> 00:15:05,279
because i don't know if you've seen it

302
00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:07,040
you want to avoid that evidently we're

303
00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:08,320
always attached

304
00:15:13,590 --> 00:15:10,560
we have like a sort of a spool that lets

305
00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:13,600
you out that's attached to the space uh

306
00:15:16,710 --> 00:15:15,440
exit port

307
00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:16,720
and of course when we worked a certain

308
00:15:21,030 --> 00:15:18,720
space you have to be attached

309
00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:21,040
uh with uh some sort of device the way

310
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:22,240
we might do when we're climbing a

311
00:15:25,350 --> 00:15:23,920
mountain

312
00:15:27,269 --> 00:15:25,360
we attach ourselves sometimes by the

313
00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:27,279
feet we put the feet on the platform

314
00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:29,040
which allows you to work with two hands

315
00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:30,560
there are many ways to attach yourself

316
00:15:34,470 --> 00:15:32,160
with the rulers you must always be

317
00:15:35,749 --> 00:15:34,480
attached to the station at all times if

318
00:15:38,230 --> 00:15:35,759
you ever

319
00:15:40,949 --> 00:15:38,240
were to be separated from the station

320
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:40,959
which has never happened but we do have

321
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:43,519
in our backpack a little

322
00:15:48,069 --> 00:15:45,120
sort of a scooter space scooter a little

323
00:15:49,829 --> 00:15:48,079
jet pack which we deploy and that with a

324
00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:49,839
joystick you can control it to pilot

325
00:15:54,550 --> 00:15:51,920
yourself to return to the station

326
00:15:56,629 --> 00:15:54,560
but we only have enough fuel for one try

327
00:16:20,790 --> 00:15:56,639
so the rule really is to never get

328
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:21,910
you know we do a lot of scientific

329
00:16:25,269 --> 00:16:23,360
research with

330
00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:25,279
the hands of we are the hands of the

331
00:16:29,749 --> 00:16:27,199
researchers who are on the earth

332
00:16:31,269 --> 00:16:29,759
and we then provo produce results for

333
00:16:33,430 --> 00:16:31,279
them to help them do their science but

334
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:33,440
we're also explorers on the other side i

335
00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:35,920
see it in the profile of my colleagues

336
00:16:39,509 --> 00:16:37,600
we all of us would like to go none of us

337
00:16:41,430 --> 00:16:39,519
has ever been to the moon certainly the

338
00:16:42,790 --> 00:16:41,440
moon will be a stage to learn to how to

339
00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:42,800
get to mars

340
00:16:46,629 --> 00:16:44,399
and then what we all have in our heads

341
00:16:48,069 --> 00:16:46,639
is to go to mars

342
00:16:49,749 --> 00:16:48,079
there will be many difficulties to

343
00:16:51,749 --> 00:16:49,759
surmount certainly we work all of the

344
00:16:53,030 --> 00:16:51,759
agencies are working on resolving these

345
00:16:54,310 --> 00:16:53,040
problems

346
00:16:56,069 --> 00:16:54,320
and of course

347
00:16:58,550 --> 00:16:56,079
all the people who are still on earth to

348
00:17:00,710 --> 00:16:58,560
assist us and this adventures that we

349
00:17:02,470 --> 00:17:00,720
learned a great deal about life

350
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:02,480
i hope it'll be part of it but if it's

351
00:17:06,309 --> 00:17:04,400
not if it's not me then it's not a

352
00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:06,319
problem it'll be maybe one of you maybe

353
00:17:11,669 --> 00:17:08,880
the person who goes to mars

354
00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:11,679
is perhaps uh among you in school maybe

355
00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:13,520
of your age it's not important what

356
00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:15,280
counts is that we do go

357
00:17:18,789 --> 00:17:17,199
integrate international adventure that

358
00:17:20,710 --> 00:17:18,799
france is part of it

359
00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:20,720
and we have these questions that come to

360
00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:22,319
our minds where are we coming from where

361
00:17:25,669 --> 00:17:23,760
are we going how does

362
00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:25,679
life created how does it disappear these

363
00:17:38,630 --> 00:17:26,720
are the questions that we'd like to

364
00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:40,549
do you feel differently when you feel

365
00:17:45,430 --> 00:17:43,360
weight the first time

366
00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:45,440
that's a good question listen the first

367
00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:48,000
time that i was

368
00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:50,480
in weight it was in the soyuz you know

369
00:17:55,110 --> 00:17:52,400
our vehicle that brought us to the space

370
00:17:57,430 --> 00:17:55,120
station which is very small so we didn't

371
00:18:00,470 --> 00:17:57,440
we were floating but we didn't really

372
00:18:02,549 --> 00:18:00,480
get the feeling that

373
00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:02,559
when i was floating in a larger volume

374
00:18:07,590 --> 00:18:05,039
and arriving at the station no i didn't

375
00:18:08,789 --> 00:18:07,600
feel different i wasn't ill i was lucky

376
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:08,799
some people would feel a little bit of

377
00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:09,760
illness

378
00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:11,440
because everything changes a little bit

379
00:18:14,549 --> 00:18:12,880
like uh

380
00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:14,559
seasickness in a boat for example but i

381
00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:15,840
felt a little bit

382
00:18:19,909 --> 00:18:18,320
as if i wasn't quite uh i felt a little

383
00:18:22,630 --> 00:18:19,919
bit uncoordinated it's like riding a

384
00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:22,640
bike learning to wrangle ride a bike

385
00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:23,440
so

386
00:18:26,789 --> 00:18:25,520
we know how to walk and to run on earth

387
00:18:28,789 --> 00:18:26,799
but this is a little bit like learning

388
00:18:29,830 --> 00:18:28,799
how to ride a bike i was a little bit

389
00:18:31,190 --> 00:18:29,840
sort of

390
00:18:32,870 --> 00:18:31,200
uncoordinated

391
00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:32,880
now i'm fully

392
00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:34,960
accustomed to it it feels very natural

393
00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:36,400
to the point that when i come back to

394
00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:38,160
earth i'll have to relearn a little bit

395
00:18:42,230 --> 00:18:40,480
when i get back how to move about

396
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:42,240
on earth how to handle objects because

397
00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:43,760
i've forgotten all of that

398
00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:46,640
now we have a way of doing things uh

399
00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:48,720
without in a weightless environment you

400
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:50,320
can see that i let things go and it just

401
00:18:54,150 --> 00:18:51,440
stays there

402
00:18:55,590 --> 00:18:54,160
on earth i'll have to learn to

403
00:18:59,190 --> 00:18:55,600
to do things again if i don't want to

404
00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:01,270
good morning the last question

405
00:19:05,029 --> 00:19:03,760
it's from the parent of a student who

406
00:19:16,060 --> 00:19:05,039
has it for you

407
00:19:16,070 --> 00:19:21,669
[Music]

408
00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:24,390
i don't need a lot of food anyway but no

409
00:19:26,789 --> 00:19:25,120
it's

410
00:19:29,830 --> 00:19:26,799
perhaps the freedom

411
00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:29,840
the station is rather confined volume

412
00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:31,840
it's uh we're lucky that it's as big as

413
00:19:36,230 --> 00:19:34,000
it is but we can't go out and go to the

414
00:19:38,150 --> 00:19:36,240
forest or take a bike trip uh go out to

415
00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:38,160
the mountains of the sea i've always

416
00:19:40,870 --> 00:19:39,600
enjoyed doing that on earth and so i

417
00:19:43,430 --> 00:19:40,880
missed that a little bit the second

418
00:19:45,669 --> 00:19:43,440
thing evidently is those who are near me

419
00:19:47,909 --> 00:19:45,679
uh i can call we can call each other but

420
00:19:49,190 --> 00:19:47,919
it is six months of absence from those

421
00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:49,200
whom we love

422
00:19:51,669 --> 00:19:50,720
it's not just in the space station this

423
00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:51,679
happens for people who work in

424
00:19:55,510 --> 00:19:53,440
submarines

425
00:19:57,750 --> 00:19:55,520
who have the same experience to be far

426
00:20:00,310 --> 00:19:57,760
away from your family your friends those

427
00:20:01,510 --> 00:20:00,320
who are close and near and dear to you

428
00:20:09,510 --> 00:20:01,520
i wish i could have brought them with me

429
00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:11,270
well we wish you all the very best uh

430
00:20:15,669 --> 00:20:13,280
