1
00:00:07,190 --> 00:00:03,350
station this is houston are you ready

2
00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:10,310
yes we're ready for the event

3
00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:12,160
space dynamics laboratory this is

4
00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:13,840
mission control houston please call

5
00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:16,640
station for a voice check

6
00:00:23,429 --> 00:00:18,640
station peggy and jack this is charlie

7
00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:25,189
we're hearing you great charlie it's

8
00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:27,199
good to hear your voice

9
00:00:31,029 --> 00:00:29,199
i am really jealous not to be on that

10
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:31,039
side of the phone call but it's really

11
00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:32,800
great we got a room full of very excited

12
00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:33,600
people

13
00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:35,200
and students to talk to you so i'm going

14
00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:43,190
okay excellent

15
00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:44,559
thank you we'll dive right into our

16
00:00:51,990 --> 00:00:49,830
what did you have to do to prepare

17
00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:52,000
yourself and your body and your mind to

18
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:57,750
well to be an astronaut you do need to

19
00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:00,960
be physically fit um we are expected to

20
00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:03,039
do spacewalks which does require some

21
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:06,479
physical strength to some degree and uh

22
00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:08,960
obviously we have to be fit uh in order

23
00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:11,280
just to do the job but

24
00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:13,680
i think probably the most important

25
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:16,240
qualification for being an astronaut is

26
00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:18,720
to have done studied in some field in

27
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:20,960
math science or engineering

28
00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:24,000
uh and we have we have astronauts in all

29
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:25,840
of those fields all different science

30
00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:27,520
fields and engineering fields and

31
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:40,149
so it being the international space

32
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:41,840
station

33
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:43,680
as part of your astronaut training do

34
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:44,960
you have to

35
00:01:55,270 --> 00:01:52,789
yeah and absolutely you do

36
00:01:59,030 --> 00:01:55,280
at a minimum we have to know english and

37
00:02:03,270 --> 00:01:59,040
russian on the space station uh but we

38
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:03,280
also train in japan and germany uh in

39
00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:06,000
canada we we we go all over the world

40
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:07,439
for our training and and more

41
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:08,640
importantly

42
00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:10,319
than just the languages you have to

43
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:12,560
understand the culture

44
00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:14,959
so that we can work better as a team

45
00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:17,440
both with our ground team and our team

46
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:19,680
here on the space station the world is

47
00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:22,640
getting smaller and you have to be more

48
00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:24,560
worldly you have to

49
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:26,640
work on your language skills in order to

50
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:35,190
what are the psychological effects of

51
00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:37,120
being in such a confined space for such

52
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:42,630
well actually the space isn't all that

53
00:02:49,589 --> 00:02:45,760
confining we have 16 different modules

54
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:49,599
and each of them is about the size of

55
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:52,160
of a school bus so there's a lot of

56
00:02:56,390 --> 00:02:54,560
space in here and with only uh right now

57
00:02:58,149 --> 00:02:56,400
we only have five crew members on board

58
00:03:00,309 --> 00:02:58,159
so we spend a lot of time working every

59
00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:00,319
day and we might not run into anybody

60
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:02,400
until lunchtime when we join up together

61
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,509
what is the best food in space

62
00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:16,550
uh yes

63
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:18,879
actually my answer would be everything

64
00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:20,400
because it floats so i'm going to

65
00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:22,800
demonstrate

66
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:24,400
i like coffee balls because i like

67
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:25,840
coffee but i figured you guys would

68
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:27,760
think that tropical punch is kind of

69
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:29,440
cool because it's red and

70
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:30,720
kind of awesome

71
00:03:36,309 --> 00:03:33,760
here we go

72
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:36,319
so you can make a big ball because of

73
00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:40,000
surface tension of the water

74
00:03:52,480 --> 00:04:04,949
tricks by jack

75
00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:07,830
what kind of trash does the iss produce

76
00:04:14,070 --> 00:04:09,680
and how much of it will be burned using

77
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:15,990
actually we do generate quite a bit of

78
00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:17,840
trash from all the different scientific

79
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:20,239
investigations and we do hardware

80
00:04:24,629 --> 00:04:23,040
upgrades all over the station so

81
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:24,639
anything that gets shipped up here has

82
00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:27,280
to be packed in foam and padded to

83
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:29,520
handle the launch loads so there's all

84
00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:32,320
kinds of trash that gets generated

85
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:34,479
and we do luckily have

86
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:37,360
trash trucks like cygnus and progress

87
00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:40,000
and htv that will take

88
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:41,280
our

89
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:43,919
waste away and it does burn up in the

90
00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:46,960
atmosphere but it again these are small

91
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:49,759
school bus sized modules that carry away

92
00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:52,960
quite a bit of trash and so luckily for

93
00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:01,990
if you could give your 17 year old self

94
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:08,870
well i'd give

95
00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:11,120
the advice my dad gave to me when i was

96
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:13,039
uh 18

97
00:05:18,070 --> 00:05:15,759
and that was i dare you to dream uh that

98
00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:18,080
has two important parts first off

99
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:20,880
the dream part only you can find

100
00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:22,800
what it is that's your passion what it

101
00:05:26,310 --> 00:05:24,880
is that's your dream the thing that

102
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:26,320
makes you

103
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:27,520
just

104
00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:29,440
lights a fire in your soul you have to

105
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:31,600
define that for yourself

106
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:33,600
and then the second part i dare you to

107
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:36,560
dream is is that no one is going to give

108
00:05:39,749 --> 00:05:38,880
that to you not everybody gets a trophy

109
00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:39,759
in life

110
00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:42,720
if you don't work really hard at it

111
00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:44,880
really hard at your passion it will

112
00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:47,280
never happen i can guarantee it

113
00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:48,960
so those are the two pieces that you

114
00:05:53,029 --> 00:05:50,880
need to find you need to define that

115
00:06:00,230 --> 00:05:53,039
dream you need to find your passion and

116
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,110
what do you do for fun

117
00:06:09,189 --> 00:06:07,189
actually probably the most fun thing is

118
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:09,199
looking out the window but i tell you

119
00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:12,160
what just every day being here in space

120
00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:15,120
floating figuring out you know how many

121
00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:17,520
how many circles you can make crossing

122
00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:20,479
the laboratory module or you know coming

123
00:06:25,909 --> 00:06:22,800
up with these fun games that

124
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:25,919
you can't do or or play on earth because

125
00:06:29,749 --> 00:06:28,560
we we have grav lack of gravity here

126
00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:29,759
which

127
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:32,000
makes the science uh so interesting as

128
00:06:41,189 --> 00:06:34,800
well but it absolutely is a fantastic

129
00:06:46,870 --> 00:06:43,110
you ever play any instruments aboard the

130
00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:50,309
why that is a fantastic question i don't

131
00:06:56,230 --> 00:06:52,400
but we just so happen to have someone

132
00:07:10,390 --> 00:06:56,240
who does he may be floating by now

133
00:07:12,950 --> 00:07:10,400
[Music]

134
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:12,960
he speaks lots of languages plays lots

135
00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:15,680
of instruments he he's not good for our

136
00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:18,479
self-confidence as people but uh kind of

137
00:07:26,230 --> 00:07:20,160
an amazing dude that is our frenchman

138
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:28,550
what is the adjustment process to life

139
00:07:36,870 --> 00:07:33,990
actually the biggest adjustment is that

140
00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:36,880
lack of microgravity i mentioned before

141
00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:39,599
learning how to work with uh with the

142
00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:42,319
tools that will float away if you don't

143
00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:45,280
tape them down or velcro them down or

144
00:07:49,029 --> 00:07:47,199
have them contained in a bag of some

145
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:49,039
kind or another that's probably the

146
00:07:51,990 --> 00:07:50,000
biggest

147
00:07:54,309 --> 00:07:52,000
adjustment but physiologically our

148
00:07:56,629 --> 00:07:54,319
bodies are adjusting also without

149
00:07:59,270 --> 00:07:56,639
gravity pulling on on

150
00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:59,280
our fluids uh you know we have a fluid

151
00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:00,960
shift that occurs initially when we get

152
00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:11,430
does time seem to pass slower quicker or

153
00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:19,110
oh my gosh so much faster you know the

154
00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:21,840
adage time flies when you're having fun

155
00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:24,160
i mean we have fun all day

156
00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:27,039
like we're doing science we're fixing

157
00:08:31,589 --> 00:08:28,960
stuff we're looking out the window we're

158
00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:31,599
taking pictures everything that we do is

159
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:33,120
just fun

160
00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:36,000
so i can't believe it's friday afternoon

161
00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:47,750
what if you run out of materials before

162
00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:54,150
well it would be a little slow if we

163
00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:56,000
didn't have as much to do but i think we

164
00:08:59,670 --> 00:08:57,680
could probably entertain ourselves for a

165
00:09:02,150 --> 00:08:59,680
few days

166
00:09:03,990 --> 00:09:02,160
now and and our resupply is very

167
00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:04,000
important for what we're doing now

168
00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:05,680
because we're doing so much different

169
00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:07,279
many different types of research

170
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:08,399
experiments

171
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:10,399
that we do need some resupplies but we

172
00:09:14,949 --> 00:09:12,320
have a lot of experiments that can run

173
00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:14,959
without too many resupplies and we would

174
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:16,880
continue working on those

175
00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:24,150
my name is amy iverson i'm asking the

176
00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:26,080
question for thomas what are some of the

177
00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:27,600
current experiments that you are doing

178
00:09:32,949 --> 00:09:29,279
and what can be potentially learned from

179
00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:34,949
and it's it's a hard question to answer

180
00:09:38,470 --> 00:09:37,440
uh just in my time on this station and

181
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:38,480
peggy's

182
00:09:42,710 --> 00:09:41,200
many more there's over 300 experiments

183
00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:42,720
that'll take place

184
00:09:45,829 --> 00:09:44,399
we're doing everything from human

185
00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:45,839
physiology

186
00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:47,760
looking peggy spent the last peggy and

187
00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:49,440
tomas spent the last couple weeks

188
00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:53,680
working on a bone investigation study

189
00:10:00,230 --> 00:09:56,320
we have we can grow perfect crystals so

190
00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:00,240
we can look at uh virology and and and

191
00:10:04,790 --> 00:10:02,320
immunology uh

192
00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:04,800
we we have a experiment on board that is

193
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:07,839
looking at new ways to create uh

194
00:10:11,829 --> 00:10:10,640
lightweight and and stronger alloys

195
00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:11,839
um

196
00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:15,360
it's just the the expanse of of

197
00:10:19,509 --> 00:10:17,600
scientific experiments that are on the

198
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:19,519
space station right now is absolutely

199
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:22,160
mind-boggling so to say which ones will

200
00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:24,720
have the biggest impact i have no idea

201
00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:25,680
um

202
00:10:30,389 --> 00:10:28,000
i do know that this place and and what

203
00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:30,399
goes on here is changing humanity for

204
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,310
what's your favorite thing about space

205
00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:42,790
being in space

206
00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:45,200
just being able to float relax every

207
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:48,000
every orientation that you're in feels

208
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:49,920
the same

209
00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:52,720
it it's an amazing experience and just

210
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:01,910
what are your jobs what are your jobs

211
00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:03,760
and responsibilities on the space

212
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:10,150
so that's one of the things that makes

213
00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:12,240
it so interesting is because every day

214
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:14,480
is a bit different we may be doing

215
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:16,560
something one day and then peggy does it

216
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:18,320
you know peggy does it the next day and

217
00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:20,320
tomorrow does it the day after that

218
00:11:22,870 --> 00:11:21,200
um

219
00:11:24,389 --> 00:11:22,880
there's so many different things that

220
00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:24,399
we're doing because there's so many

221
00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:27,120
experiments our big jobs are maintaining

222
00:11:33,350 --> 00:11:30,800
the station uh and then the science uh

223
00:11:35,269 --> 00:11:33,360
we also have to you know clean it

224
00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:35,279
housekeeping is is one of the things

225
00:11:40,389 --> 00:11:38,079
that we do but for the most part we're

226
00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:40,399
jack all trades master and none

227
00:11:44,389 --> 00:11:41,279
and

228
00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:44,399
the the big thing is that peggy is the

229
00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:47,040
commander that role is most important in

230
00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:49,279
emergencies other than that we're kind

231
00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:51,360
of a team all the time just getting the

232
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:00,470
how does zero gravity affect your body

233
00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:07,670
zero gravity actually

234
00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:09,680
does have a lot of effects on your body

235
00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:12,000
because you don't have gravity pulling

236
00:12:14,949 --> 00:12:13,519
on your body

237
00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:14,959
the first thing i talked about was the

238
00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:17,040
fluid shifts that may have some impacts

239
00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:20,240
that we've seen uh some changes in eyes

240
00:12:25,990 --> 00:12:22,560
in the astronauts

241
00:12:27,190 --> 00:12:26,000
we've also seen er without a significant

242
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:27,200
exercise

243
00:12:31,990 --> 00:12:30,160
we'll have bone loss and muscle loss

244
00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:32,000
so we're we're studying those things

245
00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:33,760
figuring out what it takes what's the

246
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:36,160
minimum exercise amount required to keep

247
00:12:40,870 --> 00:12:38,000
us healthy because when we do those

248
00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:40,880
future exploration missions maybe one of

249
00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:42,639
you will be participating and we'll have

250
00:12:46,550 --> 00:12:44,079
it all worked out and figured out

251
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:46,560
exactly what the minimum is required to

252
00:12:51,509 --> 00:12:49,279
keep you healthy and safe

253
00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:51,519
and you know you might think uh with the

254
00:12:54,069 --> 00:12:53,360
lack of gravity you might have a stomach

255
00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:54,079
ache

256
00:12:58,870 --> 00:12:56,160
and eating i don't really feel any

257
00:13:01,590 --> 00:12:58,880
different sensations while i'm eating so

258
00:13:07,990 --> 00:13:01,600
it's uh it's great still enjoy eating

259
00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:09,750
what are the procedures you follow in

260
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:17,110
yeah that's a great question we have we

261
00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:19,279
have a lot of different emergencies on

262
00:13:23,430 --> 00:13:21,040
the station that we train for but the

263
00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:23,440
three big ones are fire

264
00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:25,920
uh rapid depressurization if there's

265
00:13:30,870 --> 00:13:27,760
like a hole in the station

266
00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:30,880
and then a toxic atmosphere most notably

267
00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:34,160
ammonia because our cooling system

268
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:36,880
outside uses ammonia to cool things down

269
00:13:41,829 --> 00:13:39,680
and it's not very good for you so we we

270
00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:41,839
train those and train those until we

271
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:44,399
have them basically memorized because we

272
00:13:49,110 --> 00:13:47,120
have to have a memorized response and be

273
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:49,120
able to react quickly

274
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:50,240
that's where

275
00:13:53,990 --> 00:13:52,160
you know you know i mentioned that it's

276
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:54,000
kind of we're all working together

277
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:55,760
obviously that's true but during an

278
00:14:00,389 --> 00:13:57,680
emergency you need to have a boss and

279
00:14:01,350 --> 00:14:00,399
that's our our resident space ninja

280
00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:01,360
peggy

281
00:14:04,949 --> 00:14:03,120
telling us what we need to do and where

282
00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:04,959
we need to go so that we can all get

283
00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:14,790
what do you do during your free time in

284
00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:20,870
actually uh looking out the window never

285
00:14:25,430 --> 00:14:23,040
gets boring because we get to see the

286
00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:25,440
earth we're going around the earth 16

287
00:14:30,949 --> 00:14:27,360
times in a day

288
00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:30,959
traveling at 17 500 miles an hour we see

289
00:14:34,629 --> 00:14:33,600
a sunrise and a sunset about every 45

290
00:14:36,949 --> 00:14:34,639
minutes

291
00:14:38,470 --> 00:14:36,959
it's it's uh so it's always amazing to

292
00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:38,480
be able to look out the window and see

293
00:14:42,310 --> 00:14:40,160
something new the lighting will be

294
00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:42,320
different we'll be in a different

295
00:14:45,910 --> 00:14:44,320
inclination

296
00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:45,920
things are just always interesting

297
00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:48,240
looking out the window but of course you

298
00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:50,320
know we're up here with just four other

299
00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:53,360
people right now um and so we can talk

300
00:14:57,910 --> 00:14:55,920
to our family and friends on an internet

301
00:15:00,310 --> 00:14:57,920
protocol phone when we have the specific

302
00:15:03,030 --> 00:15:00,320
satellite capability available

303
00:15:06,310 --> 00:15:03,040
um so it's it doesn't really feel that

304
00:15:08,230 --> 00:15:06,320
we're too separated from them and it's

305
00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:08,240
nice to stay in touch with them via

306
00:15:12,069 --> 00:15:10,079
email as well so

307
00:15:13,990 --> 00:15:12,079
that's that's most of our entertainment

308
00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:14,000
and then you know figuring out astronaut

309
00:15:26,069 --> 00:15:24,389
what does what does it feel like knowing

310
00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:26,079
that you're one of so few people that

311
00:15:37,910 --> 00:15:35,269
well honestly that it's it's very very

312
00:15:40,629 --> 00:15:37,920
humbling to be a part of that group but

313
00:15:43,030 --> 00:15:40,639
it humbles me it also inspires me to

314
00:15:45,189 --> 00:15:43,040
make that list a lot bigger and i think

315
00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:45,199
that your generation all of you students

316
00:15:48,069 --> 00:15:47,279
that are there if if you're engaging in

317
00:15:51,269 --> 00:15:48,079
those

318
00:15:54,629 --> 00:15:51,279
science and technology engineering math

319
00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:54,639
type of pursuits you're going to be the

320
00:16:04,069 --> 00:15:55,360
the

321
00:16:06,710 --> 00:16:04,079
feel that space exploration is about to

322
00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:06,720
really really take off we're building

323
00:16:12,629 --> 00:16:09,600
the infrastructure with commercial uh

324
00:16:15,590 --> 00:16:12,639
endeavors as well as the largest rocket

325
00:16:16,949 --> 00:16:15,600
we've ever built so space launch system

326
00:16:18,790 --> 00:16:16,959
is going to be bigger than anything

327
00:16:21,030 --> 00:16:18,800
that's ever flown

328
00:16:24,310 --> 00:16:21,040
uh and all of this is coming together

329
00:16:26,949 --> 00:16:24,320
with a commercial enterprise both for

330
00:16:29,269 --> 00:16:26,959
commercial space flight and uh cargo to

331
00:16:31,189 --> 00:16:29,279
the station uh and then you have this

332
00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:31,199
wonderful laboratory so

333
00:16:36,790 --> 00:16:33,920
you you are the generation that's gonna

334
00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:36,800
take us into the heavens for good and

335
00:16:42,790 --> 00:16:39,759
i'm really excited for that list

336
00:16:49,030 --> 00:16:42,800
to get huge really soon

337
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,910
is the iss able to be driven

338
00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:56,230
actually that's a really great question

339
00:17:00,389 --> 00:16:58,160
the iss the

340
00:17:02,790 --> 00:17:00,399
the trust that holds our solar arrays is

341
00:17:06,069 --> 00:17:02,800
the length of a football field long so

342
00:17:08,710 --> 00:17:06,079
it does take quite a bit of of uh

343
00:17:10,870 --> 00:17:08,720
momentum in our case to drive the the

344
00:17:13,990 --> 00:17:10,880
iss and we have these control moment

345
00:17:16,230 --> 00:17:14,000
gyros that are spending at 6 000 rpms

346
00:17:16,949 --> 00:17:16,240
and we can change the

347
00:17:21,429 --> 00:17:16,959
the

348
00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:21,439
something as large as this football

349
00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:26,160
field sized structure that we have and

350
00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:28,400
if we need to increase or decrease our

351
00:17:33,029 --> 00:17:31,120
altitude for instance for debris

352
00:17:34,789 --> 00:17:33,039
avoidance if we see something ahead that

353
00:17:37,190 --> 00:17:34,799
we need to avoid debris

354
00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:37,200
debris we can increase or decrease our

355
00:17:41,110 --> 00:17:39,360
altitude with the thrusters

356
00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:41,120
in the aft end of the

357
00:17:45,430 --> 00:17:42,880
russian segment

358
00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:45,440
so we can thrust up or down

359
00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:47,520
and we also can change our altitude to

360
00:17:52,549 --> 00:17:49,440
meet visiting vehicles you know to

361
00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:52,559
optimize for them as well so yes it is

362
00:18:01,990 --> 00:17:54,640
drivable but not maybe in the sense that

363
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:09,110
what weird stuff have you seen in space

364
00:18:14,630 --> 00:18:11,110
well pretty much everything's weird

365
00:18:17,669 --> 00:18:14,640
don't point at me that's not nice

366
00:18:20,549 --> 00:18:17,679
everything's weird you you you get to

367
00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:20,559
you get to see things floating and and

368
00:18:25,669 --> 00:18:23,120
and spinning and when you eat your food

369
00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:25,679
i was i was eating pudding last night

370
00:18:29,190 --> 00:18:27,280
and i cut a little hole in the packet

371
00:18:33,190 --> 00:18:29,200
and i squirted the whole thing onto a

372
00:18:35,350 --> 00:18:33,200
spoon and it was this gelatinous jello

373
00:18:38,789 --> 00:18:35,360
mountain of yummy

374
00:18:40,230 --> 00:18:38,799
and and i mean that's just weird but

375
00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:40,240
it's cool

376
00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:43,120
there's just so much cool up here um

377
00:18:48,230 --> 00:18:45,440
every everything is weird sitting on the

378
00:18:50,230 --> 00:18:48,240
ceiling how's that for weird uh

379
00:18:52,070 --> 00:18:50,240
but the thing about it is there's so

380
00:18:54,630 --> 00:18:52,080
many different opportunities for you to

381
00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:54,640
stretch your mind and and redefine

382
00:19:06,310 --> 00:18:56,880
reality and and just grow as a human

383
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:08,310
thank you jack and peggy we just have a

384
00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:10,559
couple of minutes left so we have two

385
00:19:22,549 --> 00:19:17,510
what classes do you have to study in

386
00:19:26,549 --> 00:19:24,310
well it's kind of like jack said any

387
00:19:28,470 --> 00:19:26,559
field math science and engineering but

388
00:19:30,630 --> 00:19:28,480
you really need to pursue something that

389
00:19:32,710 --> 00:19:30,640
means something to you that gives you

390
00:19:35,029 --> 00:19:32,720
the passion to want to study it to want

391
00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:35,039
to be an expert and that really drives

392
00:19:41,510 --> 00:19:35,840
you

393
00:19:44,070 --> 00:19:41,520
so there's nothing specific other than

394
00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:44,080
being in a math science engineering

395
00:19:58,310 --> 00:19:55,270
um do you have internet in space and if

396
00:20:03,029 --> 00:19:58,320
so do you spend much time on computers

397
00:20:07,029 --> 00:20:05,029
well i'm kind of a computer geek on the

398
00:20:10,390 --> 00:20:07,039
ground but up here not so much our

399
00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:10,400
internet we have the capability to do

400
00:20:13,590 --> 00:20:12,400
internet but i'm going to use a word

401
00:20:15,750 --> 00:20:13,600
some of you probably don't even know

402
00:20:17,990 --> 00:20:15,760
what it means dial up

403
00:20:19,909 --> 00:20:18,000
it's really slow

404
00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:19,919
like back in the old days where we had a

405
00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:23,200
modem and it would you know

406
00:20:27,029 --> 00:20:25,440
speed was measured in bod do you guys

407
00:20:29,029 --> 00:20:27,039
know what bot is

408
00:20:31,590 --> 00:20:29,039
it's really slow

409
00:20:34,789 --> 00:20:31,600
so uh we don't do much with it and

410
00:20:36,549 --> 00:20:34,799
honestly uh it would be a waste of time

411
00:20:38,950 --> 00:20:36,559
in space to be spending a whole lot of

412
00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:38,960
time on the internet up here we we have

413
00:20:43,029 --> 00:20:40,880
some people that can help us and and

414
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:43,039
post things so that we can share

415
00:20:47,590 --> 00:20:44,720
what we're experiencing with those on

416
00:20:49,350 --> 00:20:47,600
the ground but for the most part

417
00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:49,360
we don't we don't spend a lot of time on

418
00:20:56,390 --> 00:20:54,870
this has been an incredible experience

419
00:20:57,909 --> 00:20:56,400
we are so thankful that you would join

420
00:21:01,190 --> 00:20:57,919
us today and i'm going to turn this over

421
00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:01,200
to your friend charlie to say goodbye

422
00:21:06,070 --> 00:21:04,000
jack and peggy that was awesome and uh

423
00:21:07,590 --> 00:21:06,080
jack you alluded to what these students

424
00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:07,600
can be in their future and really

425
00:21:12,070 --> 00:21:09,440
appreciate the connectivity there from

426
00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:12,080
space station on into the the deep space

427
00:21:15,669 --> 00:21:14,240
journey that we're on uh thank you so

428
00:21:17,669 --> 00:21:15,679
much and

429
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:17,679
these are in fact our future scientists

430
00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:20,080
engineers in our workforce and

431
00:21:26,230 --> 00:21:22,000
the future of space and you did great we

432
00:21:29,669 --> 00:21:27,830
well thanks a lot sir and i don't know

433
00:21:31,350 --> 00:21:29,679
if you remember but you were the guest

434
00:21:33,590 --> 00:21:31,360
speaker at my test pilot school

435
00:21:36,549 --> 00:21:33,600
graduation and and uh

436
00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:36,559
you and peggy and you know you guys

437
00:21:42,549 --> 00:21:40,960
inspired uh me and and others and uh i i

438
00:21:44,310 --> 00:21:42,559
think it's just a

439
00:21:46,470 --> 00:21:44,320
self-licking ice cream cone of

440
00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:46,480
inspiration we need to keep this going

441
00:21:51,430 --> 00:21:48,960
and and continue so this next generation

442
00:21:53,029 --> 00:21:51,440
could be even better than we were

443
00:21:54,789 --> 00:21:53,039
indeed like i said i'm jealous

444
00:21:57,350 --> 00:21:54,799
especially that i'm not the one sitting

445
00:22:03,190 --> 00:21:57,360
on the ceiling up there today

446
00:22:08,390 --> 00:22:05,430
stationed this is houston acr that

447
00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:10,310
thank you to all participants and guests
