00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:58,240
lots of science

55
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:00,399

with uh

59
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:08,640
as a national laboratory

60
00:02:12,229 --> 00:02:10,640
uh we're gonna have several visiting

61
00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:12,239

you with that let's go to joe acaba now

69
00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:30,480
joe usually the training schedule is a

70
00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:32,000
couple of years but you were just

71
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:33,200
assigned to this mission a couple of

72
00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:35,120
months ago so your training has been a

73
00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:36,239
little bit condensed even though you

74
00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:38,319
have been to the space station before so

75
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:39,920
can you tell us a little bit about that

76
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:42,400
schedule how it's going any challenges

77
00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:44,160
that you've faced yeah i got pretty

78
00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:46,319
lucky with a six-month training program

79
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:47,920
i don't think anybody will argue with me

80
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:48,800
but

81
00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:50,720
it's going really well i'm about halfway

82
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:51,599
through

83
00:02:56,390 --> 00:02:53,680
uh luckily i'm flying with experienced

84
00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:56,400
and you know very capable crew members

85
00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:58,879
and before i started nasa and all the

86
00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:01,040
international partners got together they

87
00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:02,959
put together a really nice plan on

88
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:05,200
what's required for me to be safe and

89
00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:07,920
then also to execute the mission so

90
00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:10,000
it's going great it's busy but fun

91
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:12,239
awesome all right alexander can you tell

92
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:13,760
us a little bit about the mission from

93
00:03:17,910 --> 00:03:15,840
your perspective

94
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:17,920
from my perspective we were at the

95
00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:20,800
beginning we were scheduled to fly in

96
00:03:23,589 --> 00:03:21,840
march

97
00:03:25,990 --> 00:03:23,599
after that

98
00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:26,000
something will was changed

99
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:27,280
and

100
00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:29,440
now we're scheduled scheduled to fly as

101
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:31,920
mark said in september we're talking

102
00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:33,440

105
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:41,280
pretty tough schedule and

106
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:43,840
they are very very busy but for me it's

107
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:45,760
like

108
00:03:52,869 --> 00:03:49,840

109
00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:52,879
know where is your final line you're

110
00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:54,799
starting running running running and

111
00:03:59,350 --> 00:03:56,640
after that you say hey you know what we

112
00:04:02,149 --> 00:03:59,360

150
00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:19,120
hi my name is catherine olger and i'm a

151
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:20,960
teacher at sharpstown international in

152
00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:22,800
houston isd

153
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:24,960
i'm asking a question on behalf of one

154
00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:26,880
of my seniors named ivan

155
00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:29,600
um he wants to know what obstacles you

156
00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:31,120
faced in your journey to becoming an

157
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:32,720
astronaut and if you had the chance to

158
00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:34,880
do it all over again would you and what

159
00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:36,960
would you do differently

160
00:05:41,189 --> 00:05:38,800
that's a great question

161
00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:41,199
should i start sure okay

162
00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:43,360
so i would say the uh first obstacle to

163
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:45,039
becoming an astronaut for me was uh

164
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:46,320
believing it was something that i could

165
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:47,120
do

166
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:49,360
honestly uh

167
00:05:52,870 --> 00:05:50,560
i always thought of astronauts as

168
00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:52,880
superheroes and i put that

169
00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:54,560
becoming an astronaut in the same

170
00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:56,639
category as me becoming a professional

171
00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:58,560
football player or becoming spider-man

172
00:06:01,270 --> 00:05:59,840
you know just it was something that i

173
00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:01,280
just didn't think was possible

174
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:02,240
um

175
00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:03,120
and

176
00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:04,880
thankfully my wife really encouraged me

177
00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:07,039
to go for it because

178
00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:09,280
uh you just gotta try and that's really

179
00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:11,600
a big lesson i think for all of us is is

180
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:14,800
push away that self-doubt and uh

181
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:15,919
go for it

182
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:17,039
um

183
00:06:20,950 --> 00:06:18,639
and the next question i already forgot

184
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:20,960
what was the other part um if you could

185
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:22,560
do it all over again would you and what

186
00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:24,240
would you do differently

187
00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:26,160
i would absolutely do it again i would

188
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:32,550
you'll be spiderman on orbit

189
00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:38,629
do joe or alexander want to answer

190
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:40,080
you know mark made a good point it's

191
00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:42,000
believing that you can actually do

192
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:43,120
something

193
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:44,880
there's all kinds of obstacles that you

194
00:06:47,830 --> 00:06:46,000
have so

195
00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:47,840
you kind of just take it one step at a

196
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:49,360
time and

197
00:06:53,110 --> 00:06:50,800
and i would just tell people pick

198
00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:53,120
something that you really love to do um

199
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:54,960
because then it's not really like work

200
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:56,400
and so

201
00:06:59,110 --> 00:06:57,360
you know there's a lot of different

202
00:07:01,749 --> 00:06:59,120
astronauts that we have in the office

203
00:07:03,749 --> 00:07:01,759
and we all have had our struggles but we

204
00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:03,759
all enjoy our professions and we love

205
00:07:10,469 --> 00:07:09,029
if you would like me also answer this

206
00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:10,479
question

207
00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:14,240
for me it was a dream a child dream

208
00:07:18,550 --> 00:07:17,759
when i was 12 years old i decided

209
00:07:23,189 --> 00:07:18,560
just

210
00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:23,199
the goal of my professional

211
00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:26,080
was coming up in my mind it was in the

212
00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:27,039
class

213
00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:28,479
i very

214
00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:30,000
helpful

215
00:07:33,749 --> 00:07:32,400
grateful to teacher who taught this

216
00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:33,759
class because

217
00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:36,160
when i understand realized i would like

218
00:07:41,189 --> 00:07:37,840
be a cosmonaut

219
00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:41,199
after that i came to my teacher and said

220
00:07:47,990 --> 00:07:44,800
natalia vladimir her name i i wanted to

221
00:07:52,469 --> 00:07:48,000
be a cosmonaut what i have to do

222
00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:52,479
and she was absolutely serious and

223
00:07:57,670 --> 00:07:55,280
she said she actually it was a

224
00:07:59,270 --> 00:07:57,680
brainstorm for her for 30 seconds but

225
00:08:02,309 --> 00:07:59,280
she gave a

226
00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:02,319
strategy plan for me for all for all my

227
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:04,000
life which i

228
00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:05,360
performed

229
00:08:09,670 --> 00:08:08,879
after that i was so grateful to her

230
00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:09,680
and

231
00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:13,840
you have to do

232
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:17,120
what you really like to do really on the

233
00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:18,800
bottom of your heart

234
00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:21,360
if you have something um

235
00:08:27,510 --> 00:08:24,240
wishes to do something you don't think

236
00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:27,520
think uh like probably

237
00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:30,000
i will not able to do that or somebody

238
00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:30,879
else

239
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:33,839
who will born for this profession just

240
00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:36,880
go forward no doubts at all and you will

241
00:08:42,310 --> 00:08:39,120
reach success

242
00:08:44,070 --> 00:08:42,320
so that's the power of a school teacher

243
00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:44,080
that's what you guys do every day that's

244
00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:47,519
right exactly all right another question

245
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:49,440
my name is marcie stanville and i'm a

246
00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:51,440
teacher at cevillatora middle school in

247
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:53,920
pearland and i teach gifted and talented

248
00:08:59,509 --> 00:08:57,120
sixth graders um this question uh for

249
00:09:01,110 --> 00:08:59,519
you is this i know you guys spend a lot

250
00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:01,120
of time up there on the iss you're up

251
00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:02,720
there for what at least six months

252
00:09:05,430 --> 00:09:03,680
correct

253
00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:05,440
okay so what are the most important

254
00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:09,040
attributes and skills needed to live on

255
00:09:13,509 --> 00:09:11,279
the iss

256
00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:13,519
well i'd say one of them is

257
00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:15,360
getting along with others

258
00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:17,040
people always think about like mark said

259
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:18,399
astronauts are

260
00:09:21,990 --> 00:09:20,800
people that are super smart but

261
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:22,000
really today when we're looking at

262
00:09:25,269 --> 00:09:23,839
hiring astronauts we want people that

263
00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:25,279
are nice because we have to live

264
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:26,320
together

265
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:29,760
for six months in a five bedroom house

266
00:09:32,550 --> 00:09:30,640
um

267
00:09:34,630 --> 00:09:32,560
the soyuz is about

268
00:09:36,310 --> 00:09:34,640
this big so

269
00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:36,320
it's just getting along with each other

270
00:09:41,030 --> 00:09:38,560
so that's one of the uh one of the most

271
00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:41,040
important attributes

272
00:09:45,030 --> 00:09:42,959
awesome thank you we have another

273
00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:45,040
question over here mark oh thank you

274
00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:47,600
very much uh mark caro for aviation week

275
00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:50,640
and uh this is from mark or joe but uh i

276
00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:52,800
think we're coming up on some

277
00:09:56,870 --> 00:09:55,839
uh dynamic months for a commercial crew

278
00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:56,880
um

279
00:10:00,550 --> 00:09:58,240
as we get into

280
00:10:03,350 --> 00:10:00,560
in especially into 2018 and i just

281
00:10:06,230 --> 00:10:03,360
wondered what you all have prepared

282
00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:06,240
to do to to advance the

283
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:08,160
the project

284
00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:10,640
in terms of space walks or just

285
00:10:15,829 --> 00:10:13,839
anything inside the station or

286
00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:15,839
you're tracking the ida stuff

287
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:18,240
yeah so you know a lot of this work has

288
00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:20,160
it's already started uh putting on the

289
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:21,600
international

290
00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:24,720
adapters for the vehicles to come up

291
00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:26,320
a lot of the future spacewalks are

292
00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:27,920
looking at that as well and preparing

293
00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:30,160
those so for our mission in particular

294
00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:31,360
you know at this time we don't know

295
00:10:35,110 --> 00:10:33,279
specifically uh what we'll be doing

296
00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:35,120
directly for that

297
00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:36,399
but you know the work we're doing up

298
00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:37,200
there

299
00:10:44,710 --> 00:10:39,200
is all in preparation for those vehicles

300
00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:47,030
robert perlman with collectspace.com uh

301
00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:49,360
just to follow up on that um with

302
00:10:55,350 --> 00:10:52,000
regards to both the potential arrival of

303
00:10:58,829 --> 00:10:55,360
the first crew dragon uh without a crew

304
00:11:01,110 --> 00:10:58,839
and the potential arrival of naca um the

305
00:11:02,949 --> 00:11:01,120
mlm uh

306
00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:02,959
if they're when you're working with this

307
00:11:06,710 --> 00:11:04,720
type of uncertainty that you don't know

308
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:06,720
if it's coming or not how much effort do

309
00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:08,000
you put into

310
00:11:12,310 --> 00:11:10,079
training for that provision

311
00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:12,320
and how do you balance what you know

312
00:11:15,750 --> 00:11:14,079
you're going to do versus what you might

313
00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:15,760
do

314
00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:17,519
i can take that one so i think we really

315
00:11:20,790 --> 00:11:18,720
don't have a lot of decision making

316
00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:20,800
about it the planners look at the

317
00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:22,160
situation we're going to be faced with

318
00:11:24,310 --> 00:11:23,440
and they're making some good guesses

319
00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:24,320
about

320
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:25,680
they need to be ready for these things

321
00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:27,200
for example

322
00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:29,600
you mentioned the mlm i just recently

323
00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:31,519
had four hours of training or so on the

324
00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:33,519
mlm when i was in russia

325
00:11:36,389 --> 00:11:34,560
so

326
00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:36,399
fortunately for us there are people that

327
00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:38,000
are managing the program and looking far

328
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:39,600
enough into the future to make sure

329
00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:41,040
they're forecasting what our training

330
00:11:44,389 --> 00:11:42,480
needs are and then we're just getting

331
00:11:47,590 --> 00:11:44,399
trained on what our schedulers tell us

332
00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:49,030
a question

333
00:11:54,710 --> 00:11:51,920
yes uh eric berger with rs technica um

334
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:54,720
hi uh just a question about expanding

335
00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:57,519
the number of u.s

336
00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:59,040
international crew members on station

337
00:12:02,310 --> 00:12:00,160
how will that

338
00:12:03,829 --> 00:12:02,320
allow you to expand activities on the

339
00:12:05,829 --> 00:12:03,839
station

340
00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:05,839
yeah i think it's going to make a a huge

341
00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:06,800
difference

342
00:12:11,110 --> 00:12:08,160
so right now

343
00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:11,120
having four usos crew members on board

344
00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:12,880
it gives you a lot more opportunities

345
00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:14,399
not only to maintain the space station

346
00:12:17,829 --> 00:12:16,079
but then do the science that really

347
00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:17,839
we're up there for and i think the

348
00:12:21,030 --> 00:12:20,000
number i heard is somewhere around 800

349
00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:21,040
more

350
00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:23,200
hours of utilization

351
00:12:25,910 --> 00:12:24,880
and so that's a big chunk of science

352
00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:25,920
that we're going to be able to do by

353
00:12:29,829 --> 00:12:27,440
adding an extra crew member so it's

354
00:12:32,069 --> 00:12:29,839
pretty cool

355
00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:32,079
hi sophie sanchez i write for cosmic

356
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:33,920
chicago with chicago now i'm at a

357
00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:36,880
question as teachers or former teachers

358
00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:38,560
there's a lot of student science

359
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:39,839
payloads that are headed up i was

360
00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:41,760
wondering if you had a particular

361
00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:42,800
payload

362
00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:43,760
that you were

363
00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:45,440
excited to work on and what advice you

364
00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:47,839
had for students that would like to have

365
00:12:55,829 --> 00:12:54,310
i'll be honest with you i don't have a

366
00:12:58,069 --> 00:12:55,839
particular student science payload that

367
00:13:00,470 --> 00:12:58,079
i'm i'm that's coming to mind right now

368
00:13:01,670 --> 00:13:00,480
in fact uh one of the benefits

369
00:13:03,990 --> 00:13:01,680
of our

370
00:13:05,430 --> 00:13:04,000
science program becoming more efficient

371
00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:05,440
is that we're more becoming more

372
00:13:10,310 --> 00:13:07,360
responsive to the customers

373
00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:10,320
so we don't have a requirement for as

374
00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:11,920
much lead time to have the experiments

375
00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:14,000
ready so we actually haven't gotten the

376
00:13:16,949 --> 00:13:15,279
final list of the experiments we're

377
00:13:18,389 --> 00:13:16,959
going to get be working on and we're

378
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:18,399
expecting to get that for the first time

379
00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:20,560
in june so

380
00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:22,160
and i would you know i would tell those

381
00:13:25,990 --> 00:13:23,920
students to dream big a lot of the

382
00:13:27,829 --> 00:13:26,000
science that we have going on

383
00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:27,839
um they discover things that they didn't

384
00:13:31,509 --> 00:13:29,920
even expect to discover so you kind of

385
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:31,519
go in with the plan

386
00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:32,800
and you never know what's going to come

387
00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:34,800
out of it so for the kids that are

388
00:13:38,629 --> 00:13:36,880
putting these payloads together just

389
00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:38,639
think of crazy stuff that you want to

390
00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:42,000
know and see if it'll work up in space

391
00:13:46,230 --> 00:13:44,240
great all right next question

392
00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:46,240
hi i'm kathy heyman i teach at

393
00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:48,720
barbership middle school um okay so i

394
00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:51,839
teach middle school so this is for joe

395
00:13:55,990 --> 00:13:54,240
they want to know what is the

396
00:13:59,430 --> 00:13:56,000
funniest or weirdest thing that's

397
00:14:03,030 --> 00:13:59,440
happened to you when you're in space

398
00:14:05,910 --> 00:14:03,040
that's a great middle school question

399
00:14:07,110 --> 00:14:05,920
which is why i loved middle school

400
00:14:08,949 --> 00:14:07,120
and

401
00:14:10,629 --> 00:14:08,959
you know the one thing we uh you know we

402
00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:10,639
joke a lot about but you know kids

403
00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:11,760
always want to know how do you go to the

404
00:14:14,389 --> 00:14:13,279
bathroom in space

405
00:14:16,790 --> 00:14:14,399
and so

406
00:14:18,870 --> 00:14:16,800
that's weird it is weird going to the

407
00:14:20,790 --> 00:14:18,880
bathroom in space

408
00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:20,800
but when you look at it the engineering

409
00:14:24,710 --> 00:14:22,480
behind it is just

410
00:14:27,189 --> 00:14:24,720
incredible so you go from

411
00:14:28,069 --> 00:14:27,199
you know urinating

412
00:14:29,509 --> 00:14:28,079
and

413
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:29,519
next thing you know you're drinking your

414
00:14:34,069 --> 00:14:31,760
reclaimed water so

415
00:14:35,829 --> 00:14:34,079
i think for a lot of kids that's weird

416
00:14:38,629 --> 00:14:35,839
but it's you know it's a technology we

417
00:14:41,189 --> 00:14:38,639
use on the iss but we can also use it um

418
00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:41,199
here on earth in very remote areas so

419
00:14:45,509 --> 00:14:43,600
i think um going to the bathroom and

420
00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:45,519
then drinking your own urine is kind of

421
00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:47,440
weird yep

422
00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:50,560
absolutely all right next question hi uh

423
00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:52,560
lisa marie cipolla reed academy for

424
00:14:58,069 --> 00:14:55,680
engineering and aldine isd um the square

425
00:15:00,069 --> 00:14:58,079
peg in a round hole is a famous example

426
00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:00,079
of astronauts finding a solution under

427
00:15:03,509 --> 00:15:02,160
pressure so i wanted to ask on behalf of

428
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:03,519
my students do you have a story you

429
00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:04,560
could share

430
00:15:08,150 --> 00:15:06,240
about a time that you felt you were

431
00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:08,160
facing an impossible problem but ended

432
00:15:13,030 --> 00:15:10,079
up finding a solution preferably each of

433
00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:13,040
you if you could give a brief story

434
00:15:16,430 --> 00:15:14,480
wow

435
00:15:19,110 --> 00:15:16,440
i can start if you please yes

436
00:15:20,550 --> 00:15:19,120
[Laughter]

437
00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:20,560
if i

438
00:15:26,389 --> 00:15:24,720
question not exactly you will please

439
00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:26,399
correct me

440
00:15:32,069 --> 00:15:29,279
when i was preparing for our third eva

441
00:15:34,550 --> 00:15:32,079
in last mission in previous mission

442
00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:34,560
it was some

443
00:15:38,150 --> 00:15:36,959
unpredictable task we

444
00:15:40,710 --> 00:15:38,160
lost some

445
00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:40,720
special cover on russian segment outside

446
00:15:46,389 --> 00:15:44,160
of russian segment and we have to

447
00:15:47,430 --> 00:15:46,399
find out all others

448
00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:47,440
this

449
00:15:52,829 --> 00:15:48,880
cover and

450
00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:52,839
screw it back if they also ready to be

451
00:15:57,829 --> 00:15:56,320
lost and for me it was decision how to

452
00:16:00,069 --> 00:15:57,839
fix the

453
00:16:02,230 --> 00:16:00,079
screwdriver because it's not special

454
00:16:04,310 --> 00:16:02,240
tool for extra vehicle activity it was

455
00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:04,320
just normal

456
00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:05,759
screwdriver

457
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:07,680
and i thought

458
00:16:13,990 --> 00:16:12,399
all our equipment is attached to our um

459
00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:14,000
extra vehicle

460
00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:16,000
space suit

461
00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:18,480
and i i had to decide how to fix this

462
00:16:24,389 --> 00:16:22,880
device which was not specially preferred

463
00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:24,399
prepared for

464
00:16:27,030 --> 00:16:25,839
space work

465
00:16:30,150 --> 00:16:27,040
i think

466
00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:30,160
thought maybe i can use a velcro

467
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:33,680
and put one side to this so a spacesuit

468
00:16:37,269 --> 00:16:35,920
another one to the screwdriver and keep

469
00:16:39,910 --> 00:16:37,279
it on myself

470
00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:39,920
and after they that i

471
00:16:44,949 --> 00:16:41,839
start thinking hold on

472
00:16:46,389 --> 00:16:44,959
the temperature is going plus minus 100

473
00:16:47,990 --> 00:16:46,399
degrees

474
00:16:50,949 --> 00:16:48,000
will it be

475
00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:50,959
flowing away and i will

476
00:16:56,069 --> 00:16:53,759
rotate with all my screwdriver and

477
00:17:01,189 --> 00:16:56,079
completely failed with this task

478
00:17:10,630 --> 00:17:06,549
like a pancake on the pan without oil

479
00:17:11,829 --> 00:17:10,640
actually it was a u.s equipment i will i

480
00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:11,839
won't

481
00:17:16,789 --> 00:17:15,280
i didn't want to spoil it as well

482
00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:16,799
and

483
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:19,280
i had just make a right choice

484
00:17:22,949 --> 00:17:21,760
without any enough information at that

485
00:17:25,990 --> 00:17:22,959
time

486
00:17:27,909 --> 00:17:26,000
like uh sergey pavlovich kareliov it's a

487
00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:27,919
russian

488
00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:29,039
general

489
00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:31,200
constructor who

490
00:17:37,430 --> 00:17:35,520
build russian space program 50 years ago

491
00:17:39,270 --> 00:17:37,440
some sometimes when we were preparing

492
00:17:42,549 --> 00:17:39,280
for flighting to the moon

493
00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:42,559
and was very strong argue what kind of

494
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:45,280
surface is on the moon is it hard or

495
00:17:50,390 --> 00:17:48,160
smooth or like some kind of else but the

496
00:17:54,310 --> 00:17:50,400
constructors should

497
00:17:55,750 --> 00:17:54,320
develop special device to for landing

498
00:18:01,029 --> 00:17:55,760
and he

499
00:18:03,029 --> 00:18:01,039
the moon is hard

500
00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:03,039
cry and sign it

501
00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:05,039
it was just taken decision

502
00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:07,280
for me of course i'm not

503
00:18:09,430 --> 00:18:08,640
as big as

504
00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:09,440
he

505
00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:10,720
but

506
00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:13,360
for me it was just taken decision i put

507
00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:16,480
this valkyrie and the hope i was right

508
00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:18,880
what do you think was i right or not it

509
00:18:21,029 --> 00:18:20,160
did is it

510
00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:21,039
uh

511
00:18:27,029 --> 00:18:24,960
flow away or still keeping with me

512
00:18:31,350 --> 00:18:27,039
what do you think physics teachers

513
00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:35,110
yeah it was almost like pancake without

514
00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:36,240
the oil

515
00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:38,320
but finally i was able to remove it

516
00:18:41,029 --> 00:18:39,520
after

517
00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:41,039
ava

518
00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:41,840
so

519
00:18:49,590 --> 00:18:45,440
if you don't do not have enough

520
00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:49,600
information to make a choice

521
00:18:56,390 --> 00:18:54,310
joey mark would you like to tell a

522
00:18:57,830 --> 00:18:56,400
challenge that you've find i got a story

523
00:19:00,789 --> 00:18:57,840
but it's got nothing to do with being an

524
00:19:02,390 --> 00:19:00,799
astronaut it's great that's good

525
00:19:05,110 --> 00:19:02,400
okay so

526
00:19:07,270 --> 00:19:05,120
so i i was this is like 25 years ago i

527
00:19:09,350 --> 00:19:07,280
was in the army and i was supposed to

528
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:09,360
clear a helicopter landing zone if you

529
00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:10,559
want to land a helicopter in a field

530
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:12,480
there shouldn't be a street light for

531
00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:13,760
example sticking up in the middle of it

532
00:19:17,110 --> 00:19:15,600
or a telephone pole and sure enough i

533
00:19:19,190 --> 00:19:17,120
can't remember what type of pole it was

534
00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:19,200
but there was a pole there

535
00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:21,440
and i was an engineer officer so we got

536
00:19:24,950 --> 00:19:22,720
i spent a lot of time getting trained on

537
00:19:27,029 --> 00:19:24,960
use explosives to remove obstacles like

538
00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:27,039
something like that except in this

539
00:19:30,789 --> 00:19:28,320
operational environment we didn't get

540
00:19:32,070 --> 00:19:30,799
given any explosives

541
00:19:33,510 --> 00:19:32,080
so i didn't know what to do but

542
00:19:35,669 --> 00:19:33,520
fortunately for me there was an armored

543
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:35,679
personnel carrier parked nearby i just

544
00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:37,520
knocked on the side a guy popped his

545
00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:38,960
head up and i said hey do you think he

546
00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:40,720
could push over that pole and he was

547
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:42,160
super excited to give it a shot

548
00:19:44,789 --> 00:19:43,360
[Laughter]

549
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:44,799
so he and it worked he just pushed it

550
00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:46,320
over and that helicopter landing zone

551
00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:46,960
was

552
00:19:54,789 --> 00:19:50,320
cleared wow good job awesome

553
00:20:00,549 --> 00:19:58,310
you're always a good story yeah whatever

554
00:20:02,870 --> 00:20:00,559
i mean up on orbit on my last mission we

555
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:02,880
had something similar uh with the space

556
00:20:06,470 --> 00:20:05,280
walk where my crew members son yanaki

557
00:20:09,590 --> 00:20:06,480
were outside

558
00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:09,600
trying to remove a power box and on the

559
00:20:13,909 --> 00:20:12,400
first eva they just could not remove it

560
00:20:15,750 --> 00:20:13,919
so after attempting it over and over

561
00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:15,760
again they came back in

562
00:20:21,669 --> 00:20:18,480
and it was pretty cool on what mission

563
00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:21,679
control did here within 48 hours they

564
00:20:25,830 --> 00:20:23,840
came up with new tools that had not gone

565
00:20:28,390 --> 00:20:25,840
out before you probably saw the pictures

566
00:20:31,430 --> 00:20:28,400
of a toothbrush and so people were just

567
00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:31,440
creative on how can we fix the problem

568
00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:33,120
and again it's uh

569
00:20:36,710 --> 00:20:35,120
it's thinking big and not saying

570
00:20:37,669 --> 00:20:36,720
anything is impossible and let's try

571
00:20:39,510 --> 00:20:37,679
this so

572
00:20:41,590 --> 00:20:39,520
it was pretty neat having a day to put

573
00:20:43,430 --> 00:20:41,600
these weird tools together they went

574
00:20:44,630 --> 00:20:43,440
back out they used them and got rid of

575
00:20:46,549 --> 00:20:44,640
the box so

576
00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:46,559
it was a testament to all the work that

577
00:20:51,430 --> 00:20:49,120
people do here on the ground

578
00:20:52,470 --> 00:20:51,440
awesome great stories thank you next

579
00:20:54,549 --> 00:20:52,480
question

580
00:20:56,549 --> 00:20:54,559
uh hello juan de la garza with a space

581
00:20:58,870 --> 00:20:56,559
flight insider

582
00:21:00,310 --> 00:20:58,880
uh just wanted to ask in reference to

583
00:21:01,590 --> 00:21:00,320
the new budget that's been in place by

584
00:21:02,710 --> 00:21:01,600
our new commander-in-chief as you all

585
00:21:04,310 --> 00:21:02,720
know

586
00:21:05,990 --> 00:21:04,320
president donald trump

587
00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:06,000
how will that affect the continued

588
00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:07,520
service of the international space

589
00:21:14,149 --> 00:21:12,710
so

590
00:21:15,270 --> 00:21:14,159
from you know the good thing about being

591
00:21:16,710 --> 00:21:15,280
in training

592
00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:16,720
is that that's what we focus on is

593
00:21:20,789 --> 00:21:19,039
training so that's the good part

594
00:21:23,590 --> 00:21:20,799
but what i know from the budget is it

595
00:21:24,710 --> 00:21:23,600
was um it satisfies nasa's needs in the

596
00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:24,720
short term

597
00:21:28,470 --> 00:21:26,400
and in terms of keeping the space

598
00:21:30,230 --> 00:21:28,480
station through 2024

599
00:21:33,029 --> 00:21:30,240
we have that budget in place so i think

600
00:21:35,110 --> 00:21:33,039
we're looking pretty good right now

601
00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:35,120
all right next question hi i'm karen

602
00:21:38,549 --> 00:21:36,880
mcgarvey and i teach eighth grade

603
00:21:40,549 --> 00:21:38,559
science at league city intermediate very

604
00:21:42,149 --> 00:21:40,559
brave yeah thank you

605
00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:42,159
um and i do have some students that are

606
00:21:45,909 --> 00:21:43,679
quite sincere and wanting to become an

607
00:21:47,830 --> 00:21:45,919
astronaut and so some of their questions

608
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:47,840
are they they know that in the past it's

609
00:21:51,590 --> 00:21:49,360
been very common for

610
00:21:53,350 --> 00:21:51,600
astronauts to have military backgrounds

611
00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:53,360
and they're wanting to know what what

612
00:21:58,630 --> 00:21:55,840
are the pros as of right now of still

613
00:22:00,710 --> 00:21:58,640
pursuing a military career and or do you

614
00:22:02,230 --> 00:22:00,720
think would be better just to maybe skip

615
00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:02,240
over that

616
00:22:09,270 --> 00:22:03,120
so

617
00:22:11,990 --> 00:22:09,280
enjoy being in the military and feel

618
00:22:13,669 --> 00:22:12,000
like and i'm really talking about

619
00:22:15,029 --> 00:22:13,679
being in a position where you're

620
00:22:16,549 --> 00:22:15,039
participating in something bigger than

621
00:22:17,590 --> 00:22:16,559
you are and it's really a service to

622
00:22:19,110 --> 00:22:17,600
your country

623
00:22:20,549 --> 00:22:19,120
that's the only time you should do that

624
00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:20,559
if the only reason you did that is

625
00:22:24,830 --> 00:22:22,320
because you're hoping to make you be an

626
00:22:29,029 --> 00:22:24,840
astronaut that's a bad decision

627
00:22:31,430 --> 00:22:29,039
um now from the perspective of having a

628
00:22:33,110 --> 00:22:31,440
lot of astronauts from the military

629
00:22:35,110 --> 00:22:33,120
you certainly as a military service

630
00:22:37,110 --> 00:22:35,120
member get a lot of experience working

631
00:22:38,789 --> 00:22:37,120
in teams in environments we have to look

632
00:22:40,149 --> 00:22:38,799
out for the well-being of each other

633
00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:40,159
those are all things that have a direct

634
00:22:43,669 --> 00:22:42,480
carry over to be being an astronaut

635
00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:43,679
um

636
00:22:48,070 --> 00:22:46,480
but astronauts we need nasa needs to

637
00:22:50,390 --> 00:22:48,080
pull astronauts from a wide variety of

638
00:22:52,390 --> 00:22:50,400
backgrounds and so like joe mentioned

639
00:22:55,430 --> 00:22:52,400
earlier it's really important to figure

640
00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:55,440
out what it is that you love and do it

641
00:22:58,630 --> 00:22:57,120
really passionately recognizing that you

642
00:23:01,029 --> 00:22:58,640
might hope to become an astronaut but

643
00:23:03,029 --> 00:23:01,039
the chances are so slim that you really

644
00:23:04,549 --> 00:23:03,039
shouldn't base your definition of

645
00:23:06,230 --> 00:23:04,559
success or failure for your life on

646
00:23:08,870 --> 00:23:06,240
getting that opportunity

647
00:23:10,870 --> 00:23:08,880
ideally in the in the path as you try to

648
00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:10,880
reach for that you'll have had a very

649
00:23:13,669 --> 00:23:12,400
happy life and done a lot of wonderful

650
00:23:15,430 --> 00:23:13,679
things that you're very proud of

651
00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:15,440
regardless of whether or not the result

652
00:23:18,549 --> 00:23:17,520
results in this job

653
00:23:19,909 --> 00:23:18,559
great

654
00:23:22,390 --> 00:23:19,919
all right now we'll take some questions

655
00:23:24,470 --> 00:23:22,400
from the phone bridge again please press

656
00:23:25,990 --> 00:23:24,480
star one if you have a question and star

657
00:23:28,149 --> 00:23:26,000

room to answer some questions from

667
00:24:21,190 --> 00:24:19,600
social media if you do have a question

668
00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:21,200
you can ask using

669
00:24:27,190 --> 00:24:23,440
ask nasa haley

670

one thing you wished you had known as a

672
00:24:37,430 --> 00:24:31,360
young student that would have helped you

673
00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:40,180
how to communicate with social media

674
00:24:47,350 --> 00:24:44,159
[Laughter]

675
00:24:48,630 --> 00:24:47,360
that's why he's our commander

676
00:24:50,390 --> 00:24:48,640
and i would say how to speak russian

677
00:24:52,630 --> 00:24:50,400
better

678
00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:52,640
how to speak in a foreign language

679
00:24:56,230 --> 00:24:53,840
that's great

680
00:24:58,390 --> 00:24:56,240
this is being asked on twitter

681
00:25:00,710 --> 00:24:58,400
miss joyce is asking on behalf of her

682
00:25:02,950 --> 00:25:00,720
sixth grade class

683
00:25:04,630 --> 00:25:02,960
would you be able to see pollution from

684
00:25:06,149 --> 00:25:04,640
space

685
00:25:08,710 --> 00:25:06,159
yes you can definitely

686
00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:08,720
see pollution when i was up last time

687
00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:11,120
we had the big forest fires going on in

688
00:25:15,510 --> 00:25:13,679
the kind of the colorado area and

689
00:25:18,230 --> 00:25:15,520
it was amazing to see

690
00:25:20,630 --> 00:25:18,240
how big of an area that the smoke will

691
00:25:21,669 --> 00:25:20,640
will travel from the source of the fire

692
00:25:24,149 --> 00:25:21,679
and so

693
00:25:26,470 --> 00:25:24,159
it is very easy to see that

694
00:25:28,789 --> 00:25:26,480
if there is some kind of a disaster

695
00:25:30,789 --> 00:25:28,799
event on earth we're notified so we can

696
00:25:32,390 --> 00:25:30,799
take pictures and help the folks on the

697
00:25:33,750 --> 00:25:32,400
ground you know battle that so you can

698
00:25:35,590 --> 00:25:33,760
definitely see

699
00:25:39,590 --> 00:25:35,600
the impact that humans have on the

700
00:25:44,950 --> 00:25:42,149
for right now from eddie on twitter and

701
00:25:49,029 --> 00:25:44,960
he is asking are you still eating out of

702
00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:52,070
we do i mean most of our food's not but

703
00:25:56,549 --> 00:25:53,840
there is some food that comes out some

704
00:25:58,710 --> 00:25:56,559
of the the jellies especially our

705
00:26:01,029 --> 00:25:58,720
our russian partners have that if you

706
00:26:04,310 --> 00:26:01,039
were to look at it it looks like a tube

707
00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:04,320
of toothpaste but it tastes really good

708
00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:06,720
so the food has really come a long way

709
00:26:09,029 --> 00:26:07,360
and

710
00:26:10,549 --> 00:26:09,039
it's not i think what you see in some of

711
00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:10,559
the older movies where

712
00:26:15,350 --> 00:26:12,240
you're eating you know meatloaf out of a

713
00:26:19,669 --> 00:26:17,590
house meatloaf out of a bag yeah instead

714
00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:19,679
of a bag now it's more freeze-dried and

715
00:26:23,990 --> 00:26:21,600
you put water in it and heat it up and

716
00:26:25,430 --> 00:26:24,000
it tastes good right that's good all

717
00:26:27,350 --> 00:26:25,440
right all right we're going to try the

718
00:26:28,950 --> 00:26:27,360
phone bridge again mark gotch are you on

719
00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:28,960
the line

720
00:26:33,029 --> 00:26:31,760
yes i am can you hear me yes we can hear

721
00:26:41,269 --> 00:26:33,039
you

722
00:26:44,070 --> 00:26:41,279
it's going to be a very important

723
00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:44,080
historical mission as i understand it

724
00:26:48,710 --> 00:26:46,320
this will be the first time

725
00:26:52,149 --> 00:26:48,720
that you will perform test flights on

726
00:26:53,750 --> 00:26:52,159
boeing's starliner and spacex's crew

727
00:26:57,110 --> 00:26:53,760
driving capsule

728
00:26:59,909 --> 00:26:57,120
can you tell me uh more of these tests

729
00:27:02,230 --> 00:26:59,919
now that the ida adapter

730
00:27:05,110 --> 00:27:02,240
docking adapter ring is in place

731
00:27:07,909 --> 00:27:05,120
and these these are going to be sent to

732
00:27:11,269 --> 00:27:07,919
you can you tell me the capsule type

733
00:27:13,430 --> 00:27:11,279
tests themselves more about them how far

734
00:27:16,870 --> 00:27:13,440
will they go away from the space station

735
00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:16,880
how many of you will be on board etc can

736
00:27:21,029 --> 00:27:18,880
you expand and tell me much more about

737
00:27:24,470 --> 00:27:21,039
these tests as this will be the first

738
00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:26,630
i don't know we're not having right so i

739
00:27:31,110 --> 00:27:28,480
think during the uh the time period that

740
00:27:32,389 --> 00:27:31,120
we're up there we're not anticipating uh

741
00:27:34,870 --> 00:27:32,399
any of those commercial vehicles

742
00:27:36,549 --> 00:27:34,880
arriving at that time so like mark said

743
00:27:38,149 --> 00:27:36,559
earlier we kind of train for what we

744
00:27:40,710 --> 00:27:38,159
anticipate so

745
00:27:42,389 --> 00:27:40,720
um not not thinking it's going to arrive

746
00:27:44,310 --> 00:27:42,399
before we come back in the february time

747
00:27:46,630 --> 00:27:44,320
frame unfortunately just can't answer a

748
00:27:47,590 --> 00:27:46,640
lot to that question all right

749
00:27:49,269 --> 00:27:47,600
thanks

750
00:27:53,029 --> 00:27:49,279
all right and do we have bill harwood

751
00:27:55,909 --> 00:27:54,950
yeah hi can you hear me now we can hear

752
00:28:00,830 --> 00:27:55,919
you

753
00:28:03,190 --> 00:28:00,840
question for uh for for alexander

754
00:28:05,190 --> 00:28:03,200
mcdurkin uh i've noticed that a few

755
00:28:09,029 --> 00:28:05,200
veteran cosmonauts had left the corps

756
00:28:10,630 --> 00:28:09,039
recently and i was i was wondering uh

757
00:28:12,470 --> 00:28:10,640
how all that's going is it simply a

758
00:28:13,909 --> 00:28:12,480
matter of their fewer fights and people

759
00:28:16,710 --> 00:28:13,919
didn't want to stay around or is this

760
00:28:24,950 --> 00:28:16,720
just a coincidence of timing and i have

761
00:28:31,430 --> 00:28:27,590
thanks so much for this question

762
00:28:33,510 --> 00:28:31,440
it's very funny for me to hear that i'm

763
00:28:36,070 --> 00:28:33,520
a veteran probably it's connected with

764
00:28:37,990 --> 00:28:36,080
not a lot of hair on my head

765
00:28:39,669 --> 00:28:38,000
because in the

766
00:28:41,909 --> 00:28:39,679
my first flight

767
00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:41,919
i had known that i was a

768
00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:44,720
youngest guy on iss station

769
00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:47,840
from there from that time when uh as i

770
00:28:53,110 --> 00:28:50,640
assessed this program was started

771
00:28:55,669 --> 00:28:53,120
and already i'm veterans

772
00:28:57,190 --> 00:28:55,679
thank you i'm not ready for that

773
00:28:59,990 --> 00:28:57,200
so far

774
00:29:03,430 --> 00:29:00,000
um actually

775
00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:04,710
everybody

776
00:29:09,430 --> 00:29:06,000
here and

777
00:29:11,510 --> 00:29:09,440
in russia the same we are growing we are

778
00:29:13,110 --> 00:29:11,520
growing like a professional like a

779
00:29:15,669 --> 00:29:13,120
person

780
00:29:17,269 --> 00:29:15,679
like step by step or every day

781
00:29:20,389 --> 00:29:17,279
and

782
00:29:23,110 --> 00:29:20,399
all of these cosmonauts

783
00:29:24,389 --> 00:29:23,120
i would actually say that they are

784
00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:24,399
veterans

785
00:29:28,630 --> 00:29:26,399
and they're much more professional than

786
00:29:30,630 --> 00:29:28,640
me but

787
00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:30,640
probably they decided

788
00:29:34,389 --> 00:29:32,480
that

789
00:29:37,350 --> 00:29:34,399
they already

790
00:29:38,389 --> 00:29:37,360
make enough light for themselves to

791
00:29:39,190 --> 00:29:38,399
space

792
00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:39,200
and

793
00:29:44,630 --> 00:29:41,360
there was not any possibility for them

794
00:29:47,190 --> 00:29:44,640
to work like a manager at the same time

795
00:29:49,669 --> 00:29:47,200
and it was that's why it was their

796
00:29:51,750 --> 00:29:49,679
choice from my perspective

797
00:29:53,510 --> 00:29:51,760
thank you so much

798
00:29:55,909 --> 00:29:53,520
thanks and you're fine a quick

799
00:29:58,070 --> 00:29:55,919

800
00:29:59,669 --> 00:29:58,080
and joe uh for mark tell us a little bit

801
00:30:01,029 --> 00:29:59,679
about you know on a personal level what

802
00:30:03,029 --> 00:30:01,039
you're looking forward to about this

803
00:30:04,870 --> 00:30:03,039
flight and for and for joe what are you

804
00:30:08,870 --> 00:30:04,880
looking forward to getting a second

805
00:30:11,269 --> 00:30:08,880
chance at up in space thanks

806
00:30:13,430 --> 00:30:11,279
okay so from a personal level uh we've

807
00:30:17,110 --> 00:30:13,440
spent so much time

808
00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:17,120
preparing for this and i'd actually say

809
00:30:20,710 --> 00:30:18,480
joe's been preparing for this for the

810
00:30:23,669 --> 00:30:20,720
last year 13 years

811
00:30:25,430 --> 00:30:23,679
in some way or another but uh

812
00:30:26,870 --> 00:30:25,440
we've been training specifically for

813
00:30:29,190 --> 00:30:26,880
this upcoming launch

814
00:30:30,950 --> 00:30:29,200
for so long that uh i'm really looking

815
00:30:32,710 --> 00:30:30,960
forward to getting to work

816
00:30:34,310 --> 00:30:32,720
and i'm really excited to live with

817
00:30:35,830 --> 00:30:34,320
these gentlemen and the

818
00:30:37,430 --> 00:30:35,840
the the crew that's going to be there on

819
00:30:39,510 --> 00:30:37,440
the station when we arrive and the crew

820
00:30:41,190 --> 00:30:39,520
that we're going to receive later in our

821
00:30:43,190 --> 00:30:41,200
in our mission

822
00:30:45,830 --> 00:30:43,200
and frankly i'm really looking forward

823
00:30:49,669 --> 00:30:45,840
to seeing what the view is like

824
00:30:54,149 --> 00:30:51,990
hey bill it's uh it's always good to go

825
00:30:56,470 --> 00:30:54,159
back and what's really interesting about

826
00:30:57,909 --> 00:30:56,480
the long duration flights is that you

827
00:30:59,669 --> 00:30:57,919
don't know what's going to happen every

828
00:31:01,350 --> 00:30:59,679
day so every day is a challenge you

829
00:31:03,110 --> 00:31:01,360
don't know what's going to break

830
00:31:06,149 --> 00:31:03,120
um so i'm looking forward to seeing what

831
00:31:07,669 --> 00:31:06,159
the next increment brings up

832
00:31:08,950 --> 00:31:07,679
something else is that you know being an

833
00:31:10,630 --> 00:31:08,960
educator i think we're going to take

834
00:31:13,509 --> 00:31:10,640
this opportunity to do

835
00:31:15,430 --> 00:31:13,519
more educational educational outreach

836
00:31:17,590 --> 00:31:15,440
and the other cool part is that i'll be

837
00:31:18,389 --> 00:31:17,600
going in september to the february time

838
00:31:20,070 --> 00:31:18,399
frame

839
00:31:22,230 --> 00:31:20,080
and then we have another educator ricky

840
00:31:23,509 --> 00:31:22,240
arnold who's going right after me so we

841
00:31:24,870 --> 00:31:23,519
were just talking about this earlier

842
00:31:26,710 --> 00:31:24,880
it's almost a

843
00:31:28,470 --> 00:31:26,720
an entire school year of having

844
00:31:29,269 --> 00:31:28,480
educators in space so i think it's going

845
00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:29,279
to be

846
00:31:32,230 --> 00:31:30,880
a neat time for us to do outreach to

847
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:32,240
work with teachers and also with

848
00:31:36,230 --> 00:31:34,320
students that will be very exciting

849
00:31:38,070 --> 00:31:36,240
thank you all right do we have more

850
00:31:39,830 --> 00:31:38,080
questions here in the room

851
00:31:41,430 --> 00:31:39,840
hi my name is eric peterson i'm a sixth

852
00:31:43,430 --> 00:31:41,440
grade science teacher at fowler middle

853
00:31:44,789 --> 00:31:43,440
school in frisco isd and my sixth

854
00:31:46,710 --> 00:31:44,799
graders sure de gupta wants to know if

855
00:31:50,149 --> 00:31:46,720
you can make any improvements to any

856
00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:50,159
simulation you've done what would it be

857
00:31:53,509 --> 00:31:52,080
improvements to a simulation first thing

858
00:31:55,750 --> 00:31:53,519
comes to mind is making the mbl more

859
00:31:56,750 --> 00:31:55,760
comfortable

860
00:31:58,549 --> 00:31:56,760
you kind of beat me to it

861
00:32:01,110 --> 00:31:58,559
[Laughter]

862
00:32:02,710 --> 00:32:01,120
so we do uh you probably saw some of the

863
00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:02,720
photos where we do a lot of the training

864
00:32:07,350 --> 00:32:06,320
for spacewalks in a in a really big pool

865
00:32:10,630 --> 00:32:07,360
and

866
00:32:11,590 --> 00:32:10,640
it's about as good as you can get on

867
00:32:14,389 --> 00:32:11,600
earth but

868
00:32:15,909 --> 00:32:14,399
it would be nice to have a microgravity

869
00:32:17,190 --> 00:32:15,919
environment here on earth that you could

870
00:32:18,710 --> 00:32:17,200
train on

871
00:32:20,389 --> 00:32:18,720
that we don't have even though the pool

872
00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:20,399
is really really good

873
00:32:23,590 --> 00:32:22,080
the other thing is that again dealing

874
00:32:26,149 --> 00:32:23,600
with microgravity

875
00:32:28,470 --> 00:32:26,159
you can't train how to float

876
00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:28,480
in space and when you work in space

877
00:32:31,830 --> 00:32:29,760
the tools

878
00:32:34,149 --> 00:32:31,840
if you don't do something with them they

879
00:32:35,509 --> 00:32:34,159
will float away and so everything you

880
00:32:36,710 --> 00:32:35,519
have to do you have to think about okay

881
00:32:38,630 --> 00:32:36,720
i'm going to put this down on a piece of

882
00:32:40,710 --> 00:32:38,640
velcro i'm going to put this on a piece

883
00:32:42,149 --> 00:32:40,720
of tape and we just can't do that for

884
00:32:43,190 --> 00:32:42,159
long periods of time here so it'd be

885
00:32:45,590 --> 00:32:43,200
nice to

886
00:32:47,350 --> 00:32:45,600
to have a little microgravity button

887
00:32:49,350 --> 00:32:47,360
that we could push and watch things

888
00:32:50,310 --> 00:32:49,360
float around and and learn how to deal

889
00:32:52,549 --> 00:32:50,320
with that

890
00:32:53,830 --> 00:32:52,559
now what i would like to do is talk

891
00:32:56,389 --> 00:32:53,840
about a

892
00:32:58,470 --> 00:32:56,399
simulation that was really really good

893
00:33:00,389 --> 00:32:58,480
that i was excited about um one of the

894
00:33:01,830 --> 00:33:00,399
things we do in that virtual reality lab

895
00:33:03,990 --> 00:33:01,840
that i mentioned earlier

896
00:33:06,389 --> 00:33:04,000
is learn about mass handling

897
00:33:08,149 --> 00:33:06,399
and in the in the mbl when you move

898
00:33:10,070 --> 00:33:08,159
something including yourself there's

899
00:33:12,070 --> 00:33:10,080
water resistance all the time so you're

900
00:33:13,350 --> 00:33:12,080
even though from a physics perspective

901
00:33:14,630 --> 00:33:13,360
once you start something moving in space

902
00:33:16,630 --> 00:33:14,640
you're just it's going to keep moving

903
00:33:19,029 --> 00:33:16,640
you never get that experience in the mbl

904
00:33:21,110 --> 00:33:19,039
you always have to work to continue

905
00:33:22,070 --> 00:33:21,120
maintaining your momentum through the

906
00:33:24,070 --> 00:33:22,080
water

907
00:33:25,830 --> 00:33:24,080
but in this virtual reality lab i had

908
00:33:27,909 --> 00:33:25,840
what the computer was set up to simulate

909
00:33:29,590 --> 00:33:27,919
as being a thousand pound object

910
00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:29,600
and again i could see my hands i was

911
00:33:32,950 --> 00:33:31,440
holding onto handles and

912
00:33:35,750 --> 00:33:32,960
i couldn't see my hands i was seeing

913
00:33:37,190 --> 00:33:35,760
space and this in this object in space

914
00:33:38,870 --> 00:33:37,200
on the space station

915
00:33:41,269 --> 00:33:38,880
and i was trying to move it and i

916
00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:41,279
realized that once i got it to just move

917
00:33:44,310 --> 00:33:43,200
a little bit it would keep going and all

918
00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:44,320
i had to do was like i didn't have to

919
00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:46,000
keep holding it and squeezing it hard

920
00:33:49,430 --> 00:33:47,760
and keep dragging along i just had to

921
00:33:51,190 --> 00:33:49,440
put my fingers on it and just wait until

922
00:33:52,950 --> 00:33:51,200
i got to the right spot and then very

923
00:33:56,149 --> 00:33:52,960
gently stop it and then move it down i

924
00:34:00,230 --> 00:33:58,230
it was cool to see i've been there all

925
00:34:02,549 --> 00:34:00,240
right another question

926
00:34:05,990 --> 00:34:02,559
hi i'm linda limbaugh i teach sixth

927
00:34:08,149 --> 00:34:06,000
grade at hamilton middle school at hisd

928
00:34:10,389 --> 00:34:08,159
now when i lived in alaska i remember

929
00:34:12,710 --> 00:34:10,399
reading the anchorage daily news and

930
00:34:15,190 --> 00:34:12,720
sometimes the headlines for real life

931
00:34:18,069 --> 00:34:15,200
sounded like science fiction like the

932
00:34:20,069 --> 00:34:18,079
sunset for the year in barrow alaska so

933
00:34:22,230 --> 00:34:20,079
i'm curious for joe and alexander what

934
00:34:25,430 --> 00:34:22,240
kind of headlines would you have for the

935
00:34:29,829 --> 00:34:25,440
iss daily news for real life that might

936
00:34:33,190 --> 00:34:31,109
wow

937
00:34:37,030 --> 00:34:33,200
good question see i'm a geologist so i'm

938
00:34:40,149 --> 00:34:37,040
not the most creative guy out there um

939
00:34:42,230 --> 00:34:40,159
yeah could you

940
00:34:44,230 --> 00:34:42,240
trust one more to say this question for

941
00:34:45,990 --> 00:34:44,240
me so if you had to

942
00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:46,000
make a news

943
00:34:49,109 --> 00:34:47,520
headline

944
00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:49,119
on what's happening

945
00:34:55,190 --> 00:34:51,599
in space that seems

946
00:34:55,990 --> 00:34:55,200
unreal but is real okay i have an answer

947
00:34:57,990 --> 00:34:56,000
see

948
00:34:59,030 --> 00:34:58,000
that's why i always start with him

949
00:35:01,589 --> 00:34:59,040
thank you

950
00:35:06,390 --> 00:35:04,550
uh do you remember linda about these

951
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:06,400
little pieces of cover which we were

952
00:35:11,750 --> 00:35:08,640
talking about

953
00:35:14,230 --> 00:35:11,760
a couple minutes before

954
00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:14,240
how we realized that we have some kind

955
00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:15,440
of problem

956
00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:18,000
further your chicken which is in space

957
00:35:22,710 --> 00:35:20,640
right now and and i

958
00:35:27,190 --> 00:35:22,720
we were preparing for our

959
00:35:28,150 --> 00:35:27,200
third way

960
00:35:30,790 --> 00:35:28,160
and

961
00:35:33,030 --> 00:35:30,800
we were in the docking compartment

962
00:35:44,470 --> 00:35:33,040
and

963
00:35:46,710 --> 00:35:44,480
which we don't usually use

964
00:35:49,030 --> 00:35:46,720
like a very strong

965
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:49,040
decision of commander in this case we

966
00:35:54,150 --> 00:35:52,160
understand something happened and we

967
00:35:55,670 --> 00:35:54,160
stopped working and immediately running

968
00:35:57,030 --> 00:35:55,680
after

969
00:35:59,829 --> 00:35:57,040
to him

970
00:36:01,510 --> 00:35:59,839
and he showed us

971
00:36:02,550 --> 00:36:01,520
behind the

972
00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:02,560
our big

973
00:36:07,109 --> 00:36:05,040
window in the russian segment we saw

974
00:36:09,190 --> 00:36:07,119
something is flowing around

975
00:36:12,710 --> 00:36:09,200
not near to station

976
00:36:15,430 --> 00:36:12,720
but we understand it should not be

977
00:36:17,670 --> 00:36:15,440
actually i will i understood that moment

978
00:36:20,069 --> 00:36:17,680
that it's something which was

979
00:36:22,390 --> 00:36:20,079
separated from station i was not sure

980
00:36:25,349 --> 00:36:22,400
it's was it from russian segment from

981
00:36:28,710 --> 00:36:25,359
u.s segment but for me it's it was

982
00:36:30,870 --> 00:36:28,720
obviously it's uh something from us

983
00:36:33,349 --> 00:36:30,880
and my colleagues started making a

984
00:36:35,910 --> 00:36:33,359
picture of it i decided for what reason

985
00:36:36,950 --> 00:36:35,920
i need to take a third cameras and do

986
00:36:40,630 --> 00:36:36,960
the same

987
00:36:42,550 --> 00:36:40,640
let's flew to chris casey and say tell

988
00:36:43,990 --> 00:36:42,560
him that we have something flowing

989
00:36:44,950 --> 00:36:44,000
around us

990
00:36:48,150 --> 00:36:44,960
and

991
00:36:50,550 --> 00:36:48,160
came to him he said chris you know we

992
00:36:53,670 --> 00:36:50,560
have something around station uh take a

993
00:36:56,390 --> 00:36:53,680
look maybe it's yours he said oh

994
00:36:59,030 --> 00:36:56,400
take a picture as well

995
00:37:00,390 --> 00:36:59,040
i do not know who put this picture to

996
00:37:02,470 --> 00:37:00,400
internet

997
00:37:04,390 --> 00:37:02,480
but the next day

998
00:37:06,710 --> 00:37:04,400
there was some kind of highlight you say

999
00:37:11,910 --> 00:37:06,720
highlight right headline uh like there

1000
00:37:13,990 --> 00:37:11,920
is some uh huge ufo uf4

1001
00:37:15,910 --> 00:37:14,000
around the station international space

1002
00:37:18,870 --> 00:37:15,920
station flying

1003
00:37:24,150 --> 00:37:18,880
i think this one highlight was

1004
00:37:28,230 --> 00:37:26,230
thank you so much that's great all right

1005
00:37:30,950 --> 00:37:28,240
we have another question over here

1006
00:37:33,270 --> 00:37:30,960
yes this is santa handen from milby high

1007
00:37:35,430 --> 00:37:33,280
school in houston isd

1008
00:37:37,190 --> 00:37:35,440
since we have two physics teachers in

1009
00:37:39,510 --> 00:37:37,200
the

1010
00:37:43,349 --> 00:37:39,520
among you i have this question whenever

1011
00:37:45,510 --> 00:37:43,359
i teach ap physics and regular physics

1012
00:37:48,710 --> 00:37:45,520
when we study circular motion and talk

1013
00:37:50,870 --> 00:37:48,720
about the gravity simulated environment

1014
00:37:52,310 --> 00:37:50,880
my students ask me why they don't do

1015
00:37:54,150 --> 00:37:52,320
that it is

1016
00:37:56,390 --> 00:37:54,160
why they don't simulate a gravity

1017
00:37:57,829 --> 00:37:56,400
environment in the station

1018
00:37:59,910 --> 00:37:57,839
so

1019
00:38:02,310 --> 00:37:59,920
can you help me we actually i would say

1020
00:38:04,069 --> 00:38:02,320
the answer that is that we actually do

1021
00:38:06,069 --> 00:38:04,079
there are science experiments where we

1022
00:38:08,550 --> 00:38:06,079
can based on uh

1023
00:38:10,630 --> 00:38:08,560
circular motion we can simulate that

1024
00:38:12,310 --> 00:38:10,640
force towards the center of the circle

1025
00:38:13,750 --> 00:38:12,320
um as

1026
00:38:15,109 --> 00:38:13,760
some uh

1027
00:38:17,270 --> 00:38:15,119
and change the amount of it by how

1028
00:38:19,430 --> 00:38:17,280
quickly we're spinning a small object

1029
00:38:20,230 --> 00:38:19,440
so we can choose to have an experiment

1030
00:38:22,470 --> 00:38:20,240
done

1031
00:38:24,870 --> 00:38:22,480
where everything is floating or or an

1032
00:38:26,390 --> 00:38:24,880
experiment done where it's it's attached

1033
00:38:28,150 --> 00:38:26,400
to the outside of a circle and it's

1034
00:38:29,510 --> 00:38:28,160
spinning around and the faster that

1035
00:38:32,230 --> 00:38:29,520
thing spins the more it's going to feel

1036
00:38:34,150 --> 00:38:32,240
it's going to seem like a surface that's

1037
00:38:38,069 --> 00:38:34,160
uh whatever whatever amount of gravity

1038
00:38:41,510 --> 00:38:39,270
okay

1039
00:38:44,310 --> 00:38:41,520
so i think what my understanding is is

1040
00:38:47,510 --> 00:38:44,320
and i'm not an expert on this at all but

1041
00:38:49,430 --> 00:38:47,520
because as human beings um we recognize

1042
00:38:51,990 --> 00:38:49,440
when we're spinning it can be very

1043
00:38:53,990 --> 00:38:52,000
nauseating if it's not a really really

1044
00:38:55,990 --> 00:38:54,000
really big circle that we're on

1045
00:38:57,910 --> 00:38:56,000
so um until

1046
00:39:00,870 --> 00:38:57,920
i think the idea of having a space

1047
00:39:02,950 --> 00:39:00,880
station that's got a uh uh where we're

1048
00:39:05,270 --> 00:39:02,960
living on a large circle

1049
00:39:07,430 --> 00:39:05,280
and we can live on the surface like uh

1050
00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:07,440
on the earth would be great i just have

1051
00:39:10,470 --> 00:39:08,880
no idea how big it would have to be

1052
00:39:13,109 --> 00:39:10,480
before people would be able to tolerate

1053
00:39:16,470 --> 00:39:14,710
very interesting

1054
00:39:18,150 --> 00:39:16,480
my name is cameron mccall i'm a physics

1055
00:39:19,349 --> 00:39:18,160
teacher at scarborough high school in

1056
00:39:21,750 --> 00:39:19,359
hisd

1057
00:39:23,510 --> 00:39:21,760
um so my main question is

1058
00:39:25,589 --> 00:39:23,520
for the months leading up to the launch

1059
00:39:27,670 --> 00:39:25,599
what are some mental and physical

1060
00:39:32,630 --> 00:39:27,680
preparations and challenges that you all

1061
00:39:35,829 --> 00:39:34,470
well there's uh so

1062
00:39:37,109 --> 00:39:35,839
of course you have that last minute

1063
00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:37,119
training that you have to take care of

1064
00:39:40,710 --> 00:39:39,520
so they keep us really really busy with

1065
00:39:42,230 --> 00:39:40,720
that but

1066
00:39:44,550 --> 00:39:42,240
when you start getting to the personal

1067
00:39:46,230 --> 00:39:44,560
side it's you know that's a lot of times

1068
00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:46,240
the hard part is

1069
00:39:49,670 --> 00:39:48,000
dealing with the family you know for us

1070
00:39:50,950 --> 00:39:49,680
we get to go up into space and we have a

1071
00:39:52,710 --> 00:39:50,960
great time and

1072
00:39:54,550 --> 00:39:52,720
it's you know we're living a dream but

1073
00:39:55,349 --> 00:39:54,560
it's your family that is here on earth

1074
00:39:56,390 --> 00:39:55,359
that

1075
00:39:57,750 --> 00:39:56,400
is really

1076
00:40:00,310 --> 00:39:57,760
you know they're suffering a lot more

1077
00:40:01,990 --> 00:40:00,320
than we are so i think dealing with that

1078
00:40:03,990 --> 00:40:02,000
emotional part of it

1079
00:40:05,829 --> 00:40:04,000
is it takes quite a bit of your time so

1080
00:40:07,430 --> 00:40:05,839
you're trying to focus on the mission

1081
00:40:08,950 --> 00:40:07,440
and do the technical but you also

1082
00:40:10,710 --> 00:40:08,960
realize that you have your family at

1083
00:40:12,150 --> 00:40:10,720
home that that you want to spend that

1084
00:40:14,069 --> 00:40:12,160
time with

1085
00:40:16,230 --> 00:40:14,079
i agree

1086
00:40:17,829 --> 00:40:16,240
thank you hi my name is lauren baird and

1087
00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:17,839
i teach physics and engineering at

1088
00:40:21,990 --> 00:40:20,560
energy institute in hisd and i was just

1089
00:40:23,829 --> 00:40:22,000
wondering what kind of experiments are

1090
00:40:25,349 --> 00:40:23,839
currently being done on the

1091
00:40:29,349 --> 00:40:25,359
international space station and which

1092
00:40:32,230 --> 00:40:31,030
um

1093
00:40:33,990 --> 00:40:32,240
so i

1094
00:40:35,349 --> 00:40:34,000
there's i'm excited about the experience

1095
00:40:38,230 --> 00:40:35,359
where we're actually part of the

1096
00:40:40,630 --> 00:40:38,240
experiment ourselves there's a lot of uh

1097
00:40:43,349 --> 00:40:41,750
we had to sign up for a lot of

1098
00:40:45,190 --> 00:40:43,359
experiments

1099
00:40:47,430 --> 00:40:45,200
i just learned

1100
00:40:48,470 --> 00:40:47,440
again i don't really know the set list

1101
00:40:50,950 --> 00:40:48,480
of experiments that are going to be

1102
00:40:53,670 --> 00:40:50,960
available but i just yesterday got

1103
00:40:56,550 --> 00:40:53,680
trained on the combustion facility

1104
00:40:57,910 --> 00:40:56,560
we're learning about how

1105
00:41:01,589 --> 00:40:57,920
we're getting a better model of how

1106
00:41:03,670 --> 00:41:01,599
combustion works by taking out that

1107
00:41:05,910 --> 00:41:03,680
independent variable of gravity

1108
00:41:07,349 --> 00:41:05,920
and hopefully that'll result in more

1109
00:41:10,309 --> 00:41:07,359
efficient uh

1110
00:41:12,710 --> 00:41:10,319
ways to burn fuels or better fuels

1111
00:41:14,470 --> 00:41:12,720
but uh i certainly thought it was a very

1112
00:41:15,750 --> 00:41:14,480
very well engineered facility i was

1113
00:41:17,349 --> 00:41:15,760
really impressed with how it was put

1114
00:41:18,790 --> 00:41:17,359
together and how

1115
00:41:20,630 --> 00:41:18,800
it was really set up to be maintained

1116
00:41:22,550 --> 00:41:20,640
fairly easily

1117
00:41:24,069 --> 00:41:22,560
and if i can just add we uh

1118
00:41:25,430 --> 00:41:24,079
we learned about this app so i'm going

1119
00:41:27,670 --> 00:41:25,440
to put a plug in

1120
00:41:29,430 --> 00:41:27,680
to a nasa app because it is pretty cool

1121
00:41:32,150 --> 00:41:29,440
and if i say wrong correct me but i

1122
00:41:33,349 --> 00:41:32,160
think it's a space station research

1123
00:41:35,750 --> 00:41:33,359
explorer

1124
00:41:37,109 --> 00:41:35,760
and it's it's pretty cool because you

1125
00:41:38,710 --> 00:41:37,119
can go through

1126
00:41:40,150 --> 00:41:38,720
and if you're interested in biology you

1127
00:41:42,390 --> 00:41:40,160
can look in that area if you want to

1128
00:41:44,630 --> 00:41:42,400
look at you know fire and how that works

1129
00:41:46,069 --> 00:41:44,640
and what experiments uh nasa has done

1130
00:41:47,510 --> 00:41:46,079
all of that is there

1131
00:41:49,430 --> 00:41:47,520
and when you look at the amount of

1132
00:41:50,710 --> 00:41:49,440
science that we've done that we've done

1133
00:41:52,710 --> 00:41:50,720
it's pretty impressive so i would

1134
00:41:55,270 --> 00:41:52,720
recommend especially for students

1135
00:41:57,349 --> 00:41:55,280
to pull that thing up it's um it's not

1136
00:41:58,550 --> 00:41:57,359
boring it's actually pretty cool and i

1137
00:42:01,270 --> 00:41:58,560
think there's a lot to learn from going

1138
00:42:04,630 --> 00:42:02,870
that's great yeah the crew will have

1139
00:42:07,750 --> 00:42:04,640
hundreds of experiments during their

1140
00:42:09,589 --> 00:42:07,760
mission all different disciplines um and

1141
00:42:11,430 --> 00:42:09,599
the app is perfect you can learn more

1142
00:42:13,349 --> 00:42:11,440
about it also on the iss research

1143
00:42:14,950 --> 00:42:13,359
website and they have a twitter as well

1144
00:42:16,710 --> 00:42:14,960
that they post updates of the

1145
00:42:19,349 --> 00:42:16,720
experiments the crew is doing every

1146
00:42:20,950 --> 00:42:19,359
single day so yeah

1147
00:42:30,150 --> 00:42:20,960
we have another question

1148
00:42:33,430 --> 00:42:31,910
the obvious of friends and family uh

1149
00:42:35,109 --> 00:42:33,440
what's one thing you'll miss most about

1150
00:42:36,390 --> 00:42:35,119
uh being here is like ice cream candy

1151
00:42:37,510 --> 00:42:36,400
bars driving just something like that

1152
00:42:39,510 --> 00:42:37,520
you can think of that you'll miss on a

1153
00:42:40,630 --> 00:42:39,520
daily basis

1154
00:42:42,390 --> 00:42:40,640
for me i think it would probably be

1155
00:42:44,550 --> 00:42:42,400
sunshine

1156
00:42:47,030 --> 00:42:44,560
quite honestly you'll get a lot of sun

1157
00:42:49,030 --> 00:42:47,040
it's just a little bit different

1158
00:42:50,710 --> 00:42:49,040
but really i think that is uh

1159
00:42:52,710 --> 00:42:50,720
and you know sasha may say something

1160
00:42:54,069 --> 00:42:52,720
similar is that

1161
00:42:56,150 --> 00:42:54,079
it's pretty comfortable living on the

1162
00:42:57,670 --> 00:42:56,160
iss we have kind of the

1163
00:42:59,109 --> 00:42:57,680
normal comforts that you have here the

1164
00:43:00,309 --> 00:42:59,119
food is pretty good but the one thing

1165
00:43:02,069 --> 00:43:00,319
you don't get

1166
00:43:03,910 --> 00:43:02,079
is the weather you know what mark is

1167
00:43:06,550 --> 00:43:03,920
saying is that you know we see the sun

1168
00:43:08,790 --> 00:43:06,560
come up and down you know lives 15 16

1169
00:43:10,550 --> 00:43:08,800
times a day and you see all that but

1170
00:43:12,870 --> 00:43:10,560
you don't get that wind and when you get

1171
00:43:14,230 --> 00:43:12,880
out of that capsule after a few months

1172
00:43:16,870 --> 00:43:14,240
on the iss

1173
00:43:19,190 --> 00:43:16,880
just feeling you know the wind smelling

1174
00:43:24,950 --> 00:43:19,200
the grass all of that you know we just

1175
00:43:32,150 --> 00:43:28,630
i definitely agree with joe and um

1176
00:43:34,309 --> 00:43:32,160
what i can add if by talking about some

1177
00:43:36,470 --> 00:43:34,319
little things according our

1178
00:43:37,270 --> 00:43:36,480
normal life

1179
00:43:41,030 --> 00:43:37,280
you

1180
00:43:43,829 --> 00:43:41,040
very very missing uh pillow and some

1181
00:43:44,710 --> 00:43:43,839
feeling that you have a

1182
00:43:46,630 --> 00:43:44,720
bed

1183
00:43:48,630 --> 00:43:46,640
when you're trying to sleep

1184
00:43:51,670 --> 00:43:48,640
because you are flying inside of

1185
00:43:53,349 --> 00:43:51,680
sleeping bag and you just fly keep still

1186
00:43:55,510 --> 00:43:53,359
flying

1187
00:43:59,030 --> 00:43:55,520
for me it was and of course unusually

1188
00:43:59,990 --> 00:43:59,040
and i will i was trying to keep such

1189
00:44:02,950 --> 00:44:00,000
pose

1190
00:44:06,550 --> 00:44:02,960
to feel at least a wall

1191
00:44:09,430 --> 00:44:06,560
to which my sleeping bag was attached

1192
00:44:10,870 --> 00:44:09,440
my commander used uh some special

1193
00:44:14,309 --> 00:44:10,880
fur saks

1194
00:44:15,670 --> 00:44:14,319
uh which made russia provide we call it

1195
00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:15,680
unchatta

1196
00:44:20,069 --> 00:44:17,040
and he

1197
00:44:22,790 --> 00:44:20,079
take one of them

1198
00:44:27,349 --> 00:44:22,800
inside out yeah put it inside out put

1199
00:44:31,109 --> 00:44:27,359
one second one inside it was like a

1200
00:44:33,670 --> 00:44:31,119
christmas sucks pre this side and four

1201
00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:33,680
outside give it to me i say for what

1202
00:44:39,670 --> 00:44:37,440
reason this is a pillow it was flowing

1203
00:44:42,069 --> 00:44:39,680
behind my head and sometimes when you

1204
00:44:43,589 --> 00:44:42,079
touch it or you really thank you pile

1205
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:43,599
vladimir she's

1206
00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:45,680
very comfortable

1207
00:44:51,510 --> 00:44:48,240
some normal yeah i definitely agree that

1208
00:44:52,470 --> 00:44:51,520
our space foot very tasty but anyway

1209
00:44:57,109 --> 00:44:52,480
some

1210
00:44:58,390 --> 00:44:57,119
home

1211
00:45:01,430 --> 00:44:58,400
food

1212
00:45:03,589 --> 00:45:01,440
of course your

1213
00:45:04,550 --> 00:45:03,599
relatives

1214
00:45:05,750 --> 00:45:04,560
and

1215
00:45:08,870 --> 00:45:05,760
just

1216
00:45:11,430 --> 00:45:08,880
little things which we have every day

1217
00:45:13,510 --> 00:45:11,440
and we didn't don't

1218
00:45:15,030 --> 00:45:13,520
understand how it's important for us

1219
00:45:18,710 --> 00:45:15,040
until we

1220
00:45:19,829 --> 00:45:18,720
lost them even for a while

1221
00:45:21,829 --> 00:45:19,839
all right do we have a couple more

1222
00:45:23,990 --> 00:45:21,839
questions from social media

1223
00:45:26,470 --> 00:45:24,000
yes patrick is wondering

1224
00:45:29,030 --> 00:45:26,480
what advancements have been made during

1225
00:45:31,430 --> 00:45:29,040
the past years that put your mind at

1226
00:45:36,069 --> 00:45:31,440
ease that put your mind at ease or make

1227
00:45:39,910 --> 00:45:38,309
they got an espresso machine up there 3d

1228
00:45:43,670 --> 00:45:39,920
printer

1229
00:45:46,790 --> 00:45:43,680
yes more fun maybe i don't know

1230
00:45:48,150 --> 00:45:46,800
that's awesome yeah you're right

1231
00:45:50,390 --> 00:45:48,160
you know a lot of the advancements we

1232
00:45:52,790 --> 00:45:50,400
look at you know a lot of them are

1233
00:45:55,109 --> 00:45:52,800
kind of more you know science-based you

1234
00:45:57,109 --> 00:45:55,119
know looking at you know human health

1235
00:45:58,710 --> 00:45:57,119
coming up with drugs that will you know

1236
00:46:00,630 --> 00:45:58,720
help us as we get older dealing with the

1237
00:46:03,270 --> 00:46:00,640
bones and things like that so

1238
00:46:04,230 --> 00:46:03,280
while it's probably not fun like a 3d

1239
00:46:05,829 --> 00:46:04,240
printer

1240
00:46:07,670 --> 00:46:05,839
i think for those that

1241
00:46:09,990 --> 00:46:07,680
need some of those discoveries it you

1242
00:46:11,190 --> 00:46:10,000
know for them i'm sure it's uh it's very

1243
00:46:12,309 --> 00:46:11,200
very fun

1244
00:46:15,510 --> 00:46:12,319
do you mind if i add something to that

1245
00:46:17,510 --> 00:46:15,520
too so um from a work perspective you

1246
00:46:19,430 --> 00:46:17,520
can imagine the ground team

1247
00:46:20,950 --> 00:46:19,440
is an expert at getting all these tasks

1248
00:46:22,390 --> 00:46:20,960
done and they have to communicate those

1249
00:46:23,910 --> 00:46:22,400
procedures to us

1250
00:46:26,069 --> 00:46:23,920
and if anybody's putting something

1251
00:46:27,270 --> 00:46:26,079
together from ikea i guess is it just

1252
00:46:28,870 --> 00:46:27,280
pictures

1253
00:46:30,230 --> 00:46:28,880
anyway forget that

1254
00:46:31,829 --> 00:46:30,240
well but it kind of leads into it

1255
00:46:32,870 --> 00:46:31,839
because uh

1256
00:46:34,950 --> 00:46:32,880
sometimes it's really hard to

1257
00:46:37,430 --> 00:46:34,960
communicate something that is very

1258
00:46:38,950 --> 00:46:37,440
simple and lately we've been embedding

1259
00:46:40,630 --> 00:46:38,960
more and more frequently videos into the

1260
00:46:41,510 --> 00:46:40,640
procedures so that's a development

1261
00:46:44,550 --> 00:46:41,520
that's

1262
00:46:47,430 --> 00:46:45,589
all right

1263
00:46:49,430 --> 00:46:47,440
and we have one more from a sixth grade

1264
00:46:53,030 --> 00:46:49,440
class um

1265
00:46:54,870 --> 00:46:53,040
in ontario and they are wondering um

1266
00:46:57,829 --> 00:46:54,880
what do you do for fun when you are in

1267
00:47:01,030 --> 00:46:57,839
space

1268
00:47:03,829 --> 00:47:01,040
you want to start i'll see you okay

1269
00:47:06,069 --> 00:47:03,839
so being in space just being there is

1270
00:47:08,230 --> 00:47:06,079
fun like we were talking about earlier

1271
00:47:11,349 --> 00:47:08,240
uh you know being spider-man or superman

1272
00:47:13,670 --> 00:47:11,359
flying around is the coolest thing ever

1273
00:47:15,589 --> 00:47:13,680
so you never get tired of that

1274
00:47:16,790 --> 00:47:15,599
microgravity environment every morning i

1275
00:47:19,109 --> 00:47:16,800
would wake up

1276
00:47:21,430 --> 00:47:19,119
and float out of my my crew quarters and

1277
00:47:22,549 --> 00:47:21,440
it was just this weird feeling just to

1278
00:47:24,710 --> 00:47:22,559
push yourself

1279
00:47:26,710 --> 00:47:24,720
across the lab

1280
00:47:29,190 --> 00:47:26,720
so that's that's a whole lot of fun and

1281
00:47:31,030 --> 00:47:29,200
very relaxing looking out the window you

1282
00:47:32,309 --> 00:47:31,040
have a view you can't get anywhere else

1283
00:47:33,990 --> 00:47:32,319
on earth so

1284
00:47:35,750 --> 00:47:34,000
i don't think we ever get tired of that

1285
00:47:38,309 --> 00:47:35,760
but we also have

1286
00:47:39,109 --> 00:47:38,319
you know the usual we watch movies you

1287
00:47:41,109 --> 00:47:39,119
have

1288
00:47:42,630 --> 00:47:41,119
a telephone you can call your family and

1289
00:47:44,309 --> 00:47:42,640
friends

1290
00:47:45,430 --> 00:47:44,319
but just living up there every day is

1291
00:47:48,710 --> 00:47:45,440
pretty fun

1292
00:47:50,069 --> 00:47:48,720
definitely agree with joy and

1293
00:47:53,750 --> 00:47:50,079
according to the

1294
00:47:56,309 --> 00:47:54,790
when i

1295
00:47:59,589 --> 00:47:56,319
came to station

1296
00:48:00,950 --> 00:47:59,599
and have some motion sickness and my

1297
00:48:03,990 --> 00:48:00,960
cremates

1298
00:48:04,950 --> 00:48:04,000
prepared my sleeping bag let me just

1299
00:48:06,390 --> 00:48:04,960
sleep

1300
00:48:08,150 --> 00:48:06,400
when i wake up

1301
00:48:10,630 --> 00:48:08,160
our commander

1302
00:48:12,470 --> 00:48:10,640
chris hatfield

1303
00:48:15,270 --> 00:48:12,480
say hello sasha

1304
00:48:17,750 --> 00:48:15,280
follow me i will show you something

1305
00:48:21,109 --> 00:48:17,760
we came to the cupola

1306
00:48:22,150 --> 00:48:21,119
and we were i would say this really i

1307
00:48:23,349 --> 00:48:22,160
would say

1308
00:48:24,230 --> 00:48:23,359
just

1309
00:48:25,589 --> 00:48:24,240
like

1310
00:48:27,109 --> 00:48:25,599
bird on the

1311
00:48:30,069 --> 00:48:27,119
wired

1312
00:48:32,230 --> 00:48:30,079
and looking at the earth

1313
00:48:33,430 --> 00:48:32,240
and it was a quiet

1314
00:48:36,630 --> 00:48:33,440
and i was

1315
00:48:38,309 --> 00:48:36,640
very quiet speaking with myself

1316
00:48:40,230 --> 00:48:38,319
i can't believe

1317
00:48:43,190 --> 00:48:40,240
i'm here

1318
00:48:46,309 --> 00:48:43,200
and he it was not his first flight and

1319
00:48:49,109 --> 00:48:46,319
uh he already spent some few months for

1320
00:48:49,829 --> 00:48:49,119
this particular flight start talking

1321
00:48:55,349 --> 00:48:49,839
with

1322
00:48:58,630 --> 00:48:55,359
me uh i can't believe too

1323
00:49:00,390 --> 00:48:58,640
it's so amazing so amazing um view of

1324
00:49:03,030 --> 00:49:00,400
our planet

1325
00:49:06,390 --> 00:49:03,040
uh even if we have very tough schedule

1326
00:49:09,190 --> 00:49:06,400
there for work i decided for relax

1327
00:49:11,910 --> 00:49:09,200
somehow i need uh

1328
00:49:13,990 --> 00:49:11,920
i need somehow to relax and i decided to

1329
00:49:15,109 --> 00:49:14,000
make a

1330
00:49:16,390 --> 00:49:15,119
evening

1331
00:49:18,870 --> 00:49:16,400
walk

1332
00:49:20,390 --> 00:49:18,880
i mean meaning looking the earth

1333
00:49:22,150 --> 00:49:20,400
usually when you take a look at the

1334
00:49:24,870 --> 00:49:22,160
earth and you see you see it's so

1335
00:49:27,510 --> 00:49:24,880
beautiful you try to keep the

1336
00:49:29,349 --> 00:49:27,520
camera trying to make a picture you see

1337
00:49:31,990 --> 00:49:29,359
that picture is not so good as you can

1338
00:49:33,589 --> 00:49:32,000
see by your eyes trying to do something

1339
00:49:35,670 --> 00:49:33,599
with the settings

1340
00:49:37,589 --> 00:49:35,680
and in this proper process you are not

1341
00:49:41,109 --> 00:49:37,599
relaxing you just keep going with the

1342
00:49:45,030 --> 00:49:41,119
work i decided no before i am going to

1343
00:49:46,230 --> 00:49:45,040
to the bed sleeping bag uh i'm i'm just

1344
00:49:48,390 --> 00:49:46,240
relaxing

1345
00:49:50,470 --> 00:49:48,400
and came to the cupola see something

1346
00:49:51,349 --> 00:49:50,480
beautiful and say oh i i need to take a

1347
00:49:55,030 --> 00:49:51,359
picture

1348
00:49:58,870 --> 00:49:56,069
just

1349
00:50:00,950 --> 00:49:58,880
take a look and relax

1350
00:50:02,950 --> 00:50:00,960
and one more thing i could

1351
00:50:06,069 --> 00:50:02,960
accept the view

1352
00:50:11,829 --> 00:50:09,910
once i was asking to make a picture of a

1353
00:50:13,910 --> 00:50:11,839
drop of water

1354
00:50:15,910 --> 00:50:13,920
which should be frozen

1355
00:50:18,790 --> 00:50:15,920
which shape it will be there are a lot

1356
00:50:20,390 --> 00:50:18,800
of physical teachers what do you think

1357
00:50:23,670 --> 00:50:20,400
if water is

1358
00:50:24,790 --> 00:50:23,680
liquid it's everybody knows in 0g it

1359
00:50:26,870 --> 00:50:24,800
will be

1360
00:50:28,710 --> 00:50:26,880
just a sphere

1361
00:50:29,829 --> 00:50:28,720
but if we

1362
00:50:31,829 --> 00:50:29,839
froze it

1363
00:50:36,150 --> 00:50:31,839
what kind of shape it will be what do

1364
00:50:42,790 --> 00:50:38,790
you stumped them

1365
00:50:44,069 --> 00:50:42,800
sorry okay i will answer um

1366
00:50:46,150 --> 00:50:44,079
now your teachers know what it's like

1367
00:50:49,750 --> 00:50:46,160
when you ask the question

1368
00:50:53,670 --> 00:50:51,270
at the beginning i said

1369
00:50:57,589 --> 00:50:53,680
what is the what is in the interest to

1370
00:50:59,030 --> 00:50:57,599
do that of course it will still uh be uh

1371
00:51:01,589 --> 00:50:59,040
sphere

1372
00:51:03,270 --> 00:51:01,599
but when i did this picture it was

1373
00:51:05,030 --> 00:51:03,280
interesting for me to realize it's not

1374
00:51:06,710 --> 00:51:05,040
exactly a

1375
00:51:07,589 --> 00:51:06,720
sphere it has

1376
00:51:08,790 --> 00:51:07,599
some

1377
00:51:10,470 --> 00:51:08,800
surfaces

1378
00:51:13,190 --> 00:51:10,480
it was like

1379
00:51:16,950 --> 00:51:13,200
hectic crystallizes here it was not a

1380
00:51:19,430 --> 00:51:16,960
like a square but still it was not a

1381
00:51:21,109 --> 00:51:19,440
round thing it will have some kind of

1382
00:51:23,430 --> 00:51:21,119
surfaces

1383
00:51:25,750 --> 00:51:23,440
and i i thought it was connected with

1384
00:51:27,109 --> 00:51:25,760
some little pieces of something inside

1385
00:51:29,349 --> 00:51:27,119
water which

1386
00:51:32,230 --> 00:51:29,359
tried to make a crystal

1387
00:51:35,750 --> 00:51:32,240
it was very funny to me to realize that

1388
00:51:37,510 --> 00:51:35,760
and you may ask your student

1389
00:51:41,030 --> 00:51:37,520
how to

1390
00:51:43,190 --> 00:51:41,040
froze this drop of water in space

1391
00:51:44,470 --> 00:51:43,200
because there are a lot of

1392
00:51:47,829 --> 00:51:44,480
flowing

1393
00:51:50,870 --> 00:51:47,839
even if you have some drop of water how

1394
00:51:53,030 --> 00:51:50,880
to fix it in the refrigerator

1395
00:51:57,270 --> 00:51:53,040
it's very nice nice for a task for

1396
00:51:59,990 --> 00:51:58,549
thank you

1397
00:52:02,150 --> 00:52:00,000
all right we have time for one more

1398
00:52:04,069 --> 00:52:02,160

crew transport module

1410
00:52:31,589 --> 00:52:29,520
will you be doing any different

1411
00:52:33,910 --> 00:52:31,599
experiments with it since it's been up

1412
00:52:35,589 --> 00:52:33,920
there it's been fully inflated now will

1413
00:52:37,750 --> 00:52:35,599
you be doing something different with it

1414
00:52:39,349 --> 00:52:37,760
on this mission when all three of you go

1415
00:52:41,030 --> 00:52:39,359
up

1416
00:52:42,870 --> 00:52:41,040
i'm not tracking anything specific do

1417
00:52:45,270 --> 00:52:42,880
you know are you aware no i mean they're

1418
00:52:47,270 --> 00:52:45,280
still looking at the properties of of

1419
00:52:48,390 --> 00:52:47,280
the module and how it's behaving up

1420
00:52:50,870 --> 00:52:48,400
there and

1421
00:52:53,270 --> 00:52:50,880
um looking at how we might use that type

1422
00:52:54,390 --> 00:52:53,280
of technology in the future

1423
00:52:55,829 --> 00:52:54,400
but you know i don't think we have

1424
00:52:59,190 --> 00:52:55,839
anything i haven't had any training on

1425
