hear you loud and clear 8 00:00:29,509 --> 00:00:27,359 awesome so first we are going to take a 9 00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:29,519 couple questions selected from twitter 10 00:00:34,389 --> 00:00:31,920 and instagram and then we will be taking 11 00:00:36,229 --> 00:00:34,399 questions live from facebook so we're 12 00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:36,239 going to start off from with a question 13 00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:39,440 from kiana on instagram and she asks 14 00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:41,840 what was the first thing you thought 15 00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:43,840 when you got to the space station and 16 00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:50,790 that's a great question looking out at 17 00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:52,879 our planet is spectacular i mean no 18 00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:54,480 matter how you how you look at it if 19 00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:55,920 you're looking at day or night no matter 20 00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:58,399 where you are over the planet so to me 21 00:01:01,029 --> 00:00:59,760 it was very humbling so i think that's 22 00:01:02,709 --> 00:01:01,039 the word that came to mind looking out 23 00:01:06,230 --> 00:01:02,719 the window it's just humbling seeing our 24 00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:08,390 awesome i think the first time i saw the 25 00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:09,920 planet 26 00:01:16,630 --> 00:01:13,920 from space um the first thing that went 27 00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:16,640 through my head was just how incredible 28 00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:19,200 the colors were the it's almost like 29 00:01:24,310 --> 00:01:21,439 they had texture it was just really 30 00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:27,190 awesome amber on facebook wants to know 31 00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:30,159 we always see amazing images of earth 32 00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:32,960 from the space station but i'm curious 33 00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:34,640 what kind of other views can you see 34 00:01:38,789 --> 00:01:36,720 from up there for example can you see 35 00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:38,799 satellites in orbit have you witnessed 36 00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:47,030 i've seen occasionally a satellite 37 00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:48,560 what's really interesting though is 38 00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:51,040 actually i've seen one below us before 39 00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:53,280 and it's pretty neat to think of 40 00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:55,759 us as being just another satellite up 41 00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:58,399 here orbiting the planet 42 00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:00,399 but in general no you don't see them 43 00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:02,479 especially during the daylight 44 00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:03,840 because of the 45 00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:05,680 it just won't light things up so it has 46 00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:08,239 to be and dusk or dawn time frame to in 47 00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:10,720 order to see those satellites just like 48 00:02:14,710 --> 00:02:13,120 that's when you can see us 49 00:02:19,990 --> 00:02:14,720 as dusk or dawn 50 00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:20,949 awesome 51 00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:24,400 mandopha on instagram asks earth or 52 00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:34,869 that's a tough question i think viewing 53 00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,160 earth from space is the most beautiful 54 00:02:41,509 --> 00:02:40,480 so a combination of the two there but 55 00:02:43,589 --> 00:02:41,519 you know when you're looking at our 56 00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:43,599 planet it is spectacular you see the 57 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:45,200 thin layer of atmosphere that protects 58 00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:46,959 everybody on earth from living and dying 59 00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:48,800 and it's it's pretty unique you see 60 00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:50,239 things like auroras that we've had the 61 00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:51,680 privilege of seeing up here every now 62 00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:54,080 and then that are just spectacular you 63 00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:57,040 know green glowing kind of uh dancing 64 00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:58,879 clouds so to speak as we're going around 65 00:03:02,229 --> 00:03:00,959 the earth so that's pretty special 66 00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:02,239 as well as seeing all the beautiful 67 00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:09,430 sounds like a great experience boardmama 68 00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:12,239 on instagram asks what could possibly be 69 00:03:26,869 --> 00:03:23,830 actually there's a few places based on 70 00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:26,879 what i've seen up here uh from space 71 00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:29,120 that i'd like to go visit i think 72 00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:32,799 australia just looks so interesting and 73 00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:36,080 even africa very beautiful places from 74 00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:38,080 here that i would like to visit at some 75 00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:40,000 point in time so i i would say to see 76 00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:43,440 them from a lower altitude might be on 77 00:03:51,030 --> 00:03:49,670 and for me uh you know whatever you know 78 00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:51,040 all right we have hobbies on earth as 79 00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:52,640 well so um there's some bucket list 80 00:03:55,509 --> 00:03:54,400 items for me and my hobbies that i still 81 00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:55,519 want to do 82 00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:57,040 but if i could come up here with my 83 00:04:01,350 --> 00:03:59,040 family i think that would be number a 84 00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:01,360 good one 85 00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:03,519 so this one i think is probably about a 86 00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:06,480 story of peggy and the cargo bag brian 87 00:04:14,070 --> 00:04:08,959 asks who has pulled the best prank in 88 00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:16,150 well actually it was fun because we all 89 00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:19,600 we all did it together um we uh 90 00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:22,479 tomas is actually his idea and uh but he 91 00:04:26,870 --> 00:04:25,280 couldn't quite fit in the bag and uh i'm 92 00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:26,880 like i think i can probably fit in and 93 00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:29,199 so then tomah and 94 00:04:33,909 --> 00:04:31,600 shane took me down 95 00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:33,919 to the see the russians for dinner that 96 00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,639 night and uh i they said they had a 97 00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:38,479 surprise for them and they unzipped it 98 00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:40,160 and i popped out so that was that was 99 00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:41,680 the most fun we've had 100 00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:48,390 awesome cj on twitter asks what inspired 101 00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:50,560 you to become an astronaut and work for 102 00:04:58,469 --> 00:04:57,270 particular well for me it was back to 103 00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:58,479 the 104 00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:01,440 small child that's what inspired me to 105 00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:03,360 initially want to become an astronaut of 106 00:05:06,469 --> 00:05:05,280 course it takes a lot of hard work and 107 00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:06,479 education 108 00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:07,280 and 109 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:09,600 for me a career in the army before i was 110 00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:10,400 even 111 00:05:13,909 --> 00:05:12,000 i would say eligible to become an 112 00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:13,919 astronaut and work at nasa in that 113 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:16,320 regard so it's it's a long career it's 114 00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:18,000 something that's never guaranteed and it 115 00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:19,280 just took a lot of hard work and 116 00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:26,790 and along those same lines urbina on 117 00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:29,680 instagram asks how have you used your 118 00:05:41,189 --> 00:05:36,710 well actually 119 00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:41,199 i'm a biochemist by training and so i 120 00:05:46,230 --> 00:05:43,199 got to do some stem cell research up 121 00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:46,240 here so tissue culture of stem cells uh 122 00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:49,280 in in microgravity to see if they can 123 00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:50,960 proliferate better or differently than 124 00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:53,280 they do on earth and 125 00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:55,600 look at that as future for and future 126 00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:57,600 applications of using those types of 127 00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:00,400 cells that were proliferated or grown in 128 00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:03,600 orbit so that was one one 129 00:06:09,029 --> 00:06:06,400 very closely relevant area that i've 130 00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:09,039 gotten to work on but i think what's 131 00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:10,960 most fun about the research up here is 132 00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:13,039 the diversity when we have 200 133 00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:14,880 investigations 134 00:06:23,110 --> 00:06:21,120 the being able to do all different kinds 135 00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:23,120 of things is what makes it interesting 136 00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:29,510 so we have uh people watching live and 137 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:31,440 matt must be listening because he asked 138 00:06:36,629 --> 00:06:34,560 if you could add any experience to any 139 00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:36,639 experiments to the space station what 140 00:06:48,469 --> 00:06:45,670 yeah it's a tough one for me we've had 141 00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:48,479 so many like peggy mentioned already the 142 00:06:51,990 --> 00:06:50,560 the most fun i think i've had was when 143 00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:52,000 we got the chance to grow lettuce up 144 00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:54,080 here and that was really cool 145 00:06:58,230 --> 00:06:55,759 took four to six weeks for the lettuce 146 00:07:00,150 --> 00:06:58,240 to develop but actually was was really 147 00:07:01,990 --> 00:07:00,160 nice looked beautiful it was crunchy we 148 00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:02,000 got to eat it so it was nice to have 149 00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:04,240 some fresh vegetables on orbit so maybe 150 00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:05,840 a few more things like that for me would 151 00:07:12,950 --> 00:07:10,870 yeah i'm a plant lover too so i like 152 00:07:14,010 --> 00:07:12,960 that idea of having more plant plant 153 00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:14,020 experiments 154 00:07:17,510 --> 00:07:15,280 [Music] 155 00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:17,520 i you know i anticipate and in the 156 00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:19,360 future i think in the next few months 157 00:07:25,350 --> 00:07:22,319 even we will be doing much more uh 158 00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:25,360 cellular related uh research which 159 00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:27,759 personally i'm more interested in and i 160 00:07:31,830 --> 00:07:29,680 think has some potential 161 00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:31,840 for understanding some of the mechanisms 162 00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:33,840 of changes that go on for instance i 163 00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:35,039 think we're going to grow some bone 164 00:07:37,589 --> 00:07:36,000 cells 165 00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:37,599 and we can try and maybe better 166 00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:39,599 understand that bone demineralization 167 00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:41,919 process that occurs in us here in 168 00:07:45,990 --> 00:07:43,680 microgravity 169 00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:46,000 but it also would be very applicable to 170 00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:48,400 our understanding of the process in 171 00:07:58,150 --> 00:07:56,550 so rob is wondering do you ever wake up 172 00:08:03,589 --> 00:07:58,160 in the morning and forget that you're in 173 00:08:07,749 --> 00:08:05,510 now it's kind of hard because you're 174 00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:07,759 just floating around so for me it's 175 00:08:11,029 --> 00:08:09,360 pretty easy you come out of your 176 00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:11,039 sleeping bag and you're floating and 177 00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:12,479 you're trying to you know get dressed 178 00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:13,840 and everything to get ready for the 179 00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:15,120 morning so 180 00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:24,070 steven is wondering how long did it take 181 00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:33,269 well i think you adapt 182 00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:35,680 from a physiologic perspective somewhere 183 00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:39,120 between a week to three weeks maybe 184 00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:41,039 at least on my first flight it took 185 00:08:45,829 --> 00:08:43,680 almost three weeks on 186 00:08:47,829 --> 00:08:45,839 my second flight i felt like i adapted 187 00:08:49,829 --> 00:08:47,839 in two days and on this flight i felt 188 00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:49,839 like i was adapted as soon as i was in 189 00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:51,120 space 190 00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:52,959 in spite of the fact that it had been 191 00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:54,880 almost nine years between my second and 192 00:08:59,750 --> 00:08:56,640 third flight so 193 00:09:01,750 --> 00:08:59,760 um our bodies do adapt and learn how to 194 00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:01,760 work in in this environment but there's 195 00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:03,680 always frustrations uh you know of 196 00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:05,920 losing a tool you know that you thought 197 00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:08,320 you had put inside a ziploc bag and it 198 00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:10,720 floated out or had velcroed it to the 199 00:09:16,070 --> 00:09:12,480 floor and maybe bumped it with your foot 200 00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:16,080 or something so there's always those 201 00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:18,399 things that kind of remind you 202 00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:20,080 frequently that 203 00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:22,160 zero gravity does have some challenges 204 00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:24,880 associated with it 205 00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:26,560 so daniel is wondering

about to find out here in a 209 00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:40,320 little less than three weeks i guess so 210 00:09:43,590 --> 00:09:42,080 this is my first long duration mission 211 00:09:46,470 --> 00:09:43,600 it's going to be a lot different than my 212 00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:46,480 uh shuttle mission i did a while back so 213 00:09:50,150 --> 00:09:48,320 uh it'll be interesting to see we do 214 00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:50,160 work out a lot up here and that's to 215 00:09:54,389 --> 00:09:52,480 help with our recovery back on earth as 216 00:09:55,750 --> 00:09:54,399 well as keeping our bones and muscles 217 00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:55,760 healthy so 218 00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:58,240 i'm expecting i don't know a couple days 219 00:10:00,710 --> 00:09:59,440 to a week 220 00:10:02,230 --> 00:10:00,720 somewhere in there everybody's a little 221 00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:02,240 bit different when you return to earth 222 00:10:05,430 --> 00:10:03,680 some people 223 00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:05,440 are worse coming up and some are worse 224 00:10:08,949 --> 00:10:07,360 going down and i'll just have to see i'm 225 00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:08,959 a big science experiment right now and 226 00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:16,710 awesome so kim is wondering besides the 227 00:10:25,829 --> 00:10:19,360 fresh fruits and vegetables what foods 228 00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:28,949 well pizza would be on the list 229 00:10:33,670 --> 00:10:31,440 a lot you know we get occasionally cargo 230 00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:33,680 vehicles will bring up some fresh fruits 231 00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:35,279 and and 232 00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:37,680 we've grown the lettuce but i think the 233 00:10:42,069 --> 00:10:39,680 thing that i miss most is like you know 234 00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:42,079 a really nice crunchy salad with lots of 235 00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:45,360 different types of vegetables on it 236 00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:46,720 that's probably the thing i miss the 237 00:10:56,870 --> 00:10:54,389 so mark is wondering how long do you 238 00:11:02,069 --> 00:10:56,880 spend working each day and how do you 239 00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:04,389 so our normal work day is from about 7 240 00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:06,399 30 in the morning to 7 30 at night so 241 00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:08,240 about a 12 hour work day 242 00:11:12,150 --> 00:11:09,839 within those 12 hours we do have a 243 00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:12,160 couple hours to exercise so that's built 244 00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:14,000 in there and then the rest of the day we 245 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:15,600 just do activities that are driven by 246 00:11:18,949 --> 00:11:17,120 all the mission control centers around 247 00:11:20,870 --> 00:11:18,959 the world uh with science with 248 00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:20,880 maintenance sometimes we're doing space 249 00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:23,200 walks like we do this this coming friday 250 00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:25,279 sometimes we're using the robotic arm to 251 00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:27,120 grab visiting vehicles that show up so 252 00:11:31,670 --> 00:11:29,680 it's a wide variety of activities and it 253 00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:31,680 keeps us hopping and keeps us very 254 00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:33,519 interested of course because every day 255 00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:39,910 joe is wondering what do you plan on 256 00:11:51,269 --> 00:11:49,350 well it'll take like i mentioned a 257 00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:51,279 little while ago a few days to recover 258 00:11:54,790 --> 00:11:52,880 at least but i just look forward to 259 00:11:56,710 --> 00:11:54,800 being with the family i'm getting home 260 00:11:58,870 --> 00:11:56,720 the week of easter so we'll spend a nice 261 00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:58,880 easter weekend together with family and 262 00:12:03,269 --> 00:12:00,160 friends and i look forward to seeing 263 00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:05,269 robert asked 264 00:12:12,949 --> 00:12:07,440 does your perspective about the world 265 00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:14,629 well i definitely think 266 00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:16,880 your perspective of the our planet 267 00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:19,680 changes because it being viewing this 268 00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:22,560 our planet from this perspective i think 269 00:12:27,910 --> 00:12:25,040 makes you understand that it is we're 270 00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:27,920 all living on the same beautiful ball 271 00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:30,240 and it's protected by this very thin 272 00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:31,760 atmosphere 273 00:12:36,470 --> 00:12:34,160 uh and i do think you do have a 274 00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,480 different perspective on protecting uh 275 00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:38,880 what it is that we live on how fragile 276 00:12:42,310 --> 00:12:40,800 it it is 277 00:12:43,509 --> 00:12:42,320 i think 278 00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:43,519 you know the 279 00:12:46,629 --> 00:12:45,440 probably the most significant thing is 280 00:12:48,629 --> 00:12:46,639 uh 281 00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:48,639 it does give you an appreciation of 282 00:12:55,110 --> 00:12:53,040 being one planet one world one people 283 00:12:57,670 --> 00:12:55,120 awesome it is very international so 284 00:12:59,590 --> 00:12:57,680 ralph is wondering what time zone do you 285 00:13:04,470 --> 00:12:59,600 base your schedule on and is the whole 286 00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:06,069 we are almost always on the same 287 00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:07,920 schedule great question and we go off at 288 00:13:11,670 --> 00:13:10,240 gmt time so the time it is in london 289 00:13:15,030 --> 00:13:11,680 greenwich mean time 290 00:13:17,269 --> 00:13:15,040 um and so it's currently anyway it's 291 00:13:18,949 --> 00:13:17,279 five hours ahead of houston time four 292 00:13:20,389 --> 00:13:18,959 hours ahead of the east coast in the u.s 293 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:20,399 and then you can do the math for all the 294 00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:26,629 graciela wants to know how long does it 295 00:13:37,269 --> 00:13:28,720 take for your voice to travel to earth 296 00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:39,670 actually uh in the past when i've flown 297 00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:41,680 we've had some satellite delays so it 298 00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:43,440 might take you know you might have a 299 00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:45,279 second and it made it difficult to talk 300 00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:48,240 with folks but i think these days 301 00:13:53,350 --> 00:13:50,880 there's really very rarely any kind of 302 00:13:55,590 --> 00:13:53,360 delay at all and so when we talk on the 303 00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:55,600 internet using internet protocol to our 304 00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:57,360 family and friends 305 00:14:01,750 --> 00:13:59,920 there's very very little delay at all so 306 00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:01,760 you don't end up talking over each other 307 00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:07,350 that's great because it's making 308 00:14:12,629 --> 00:14:10,079 facebook lives a lot easier for us 309 00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:12,639 morgan wants to know what is the most 310 00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:22,389 there's a lot of peggy's going to show 311 00:14:25,670 --> 00:14:23,279 you 312 00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:25,680 some chocolate coated 313 00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:27,040 peanuts there 314 00:14:29,670 --> 00:14:28,560 the way they're listed on our food 315 00:14:31,269 --> 00:14:29,680 package 316 00:14:33,430 --> 00:14:31,279 but if you open up anything that has a 317 00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:33,440 lot of pieces like that and you're not 318 00:14:37,030 --> 00:14:35,360 watching very carefully then they go all 319 00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:37,040 over the place so 320 00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:38,800 things like rice are tough because 321 00:14:42,069 --> 00:14:40,399 they're really small and they kind of go 322 00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:42,079 everywhere if they're if you don't watch 323 00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:44,320 what you're doing with the rice but in 324 00:14:47,030 --> 00:14:45,680 general things stick together if they 325 00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:47,040 have any liquid in them at all they're 326 00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:48,399 going to kind of stick together and 327 00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:50,320 allow you to eat them a little easier up 328 00:14:54,230 --> 00:14:52,560 here in microgravity a lot of times too 329 00:14:55,829 --> 00:14:54,240 we'll use tortillas as kind of just a 330 00:14:57,990 --> 00:14:55,839 vehicle to put something on so it 331 00:15:00,150 --> 00:14:58,000 doesn't go floating everywhere 332 00:15:02,949 --> 00:15:00,160 like peggy's doing right now so 333 00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:04,949 awesome jack is wondering 334 00:15:09,110 --> 00:15:06,800 is there an emergency way for you to 335 00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:09,120 turn back to return back to earth and do 336 00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:17,189 yeah 337 00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:19,360 we have the soyuz spacecraft with us 338 00:15:23,430 --> 00:15:21,440 right now each of us is on a 339 00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:23,440 three-person crew so even though our 340 00:15:27,269 --> 00:15:25,680 crew on total is six 341 00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:27,279 each of us shane and i would be in 342 00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:29,920 different soyuz and would return home on 343 00:15:31,670 --> 00:15:30,720 those 344 00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:31,680 future 345 00:15:35,749 --> 00:15:33,440 vehicles commercial crew vehicles that 346 00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:35,759 will be arriving here will also 347 00:15:40,550 --> 00:15:37,600 dock here and will provide that 348 00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:40,560 emergency capability so if we had 349 00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:43,519 a depressurization or a fire that was 350 00:15:46,389 --> 00:15:45,360 significant enough to require us to 351 00:15:49,269 --> 00:15:46,399 leave 352 00:15:51,670 --> 00:15:49,279 we would just get in our vehicles and 353 00:15:53,749 --> 00:15:51,680 go home if we needed we also have that 354 00:15:56,230 --> 00:15:53,759 as a for instance for medical 355 00:15:57,990 --> 00:15:56,240 emergencies or contingencies where we 356 00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:58,000 needed to get home we might send one 357 00:16:03,509 --> 00:15:59,199 crew home 358 00:16:11,509 --> 00:16:05,350 laura is wondering what does your 359 00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:13,030 great question it's very important for 360 00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:14,480 us up here we're about two to two and a 361 00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:17,120 half hours every day we work out about 362 00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:19,440 half of that is cardio so we have a 363 00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:21,440 stationary bike which is actually to my 364 00:16:25,189 --> 00:16:22,800 left it's not very stationary because 365 00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:25,199 it's floating while you're riding on it 366 00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:26,880 and we also have a treadmill so we do 367 00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:28,480 one of those and sometimes we do both of 368 00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:31,040 those for our aerobic activity during a 369 00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:33,120 day and then we have a machine called a 370 00:16:37,990 --> 00:16:36,160 red which is a it's a resistive machine 371 00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:38,000 so it's our weight lifting up here 372 00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:40,240 really incredible machine we all love it 373 00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:41,680 because it really gives you a nice feel 374 00:16:45,189 --> 00:16:43,040 like you're on earth when you're working 375 00:16:47,509 --> 00:16:45,199 out you can do everything from bench 376 00:16:48,470 --> 00:16:47,519 bench press to squats to deadlifts to 377 00:16:50,470 --> 00:16:48,480 curls 378 00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:50,480 triceps you know you name it we can do 379 00:16:55,030 --> 00:16:52,480 it up here and
