1
00:00:06,950 --> 00:00:02,950
station this is houston are you ready

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,110
houston i'm ready for the event

3
00:00:14,950 --> 00:00:13,030
boy scouts of the bay area this is

4
00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:14,960
mission control houston please call

5
00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:20,470
station this is keith trimble cub master

6
00:00:26,630 --> 00:00:22,960
of pac 643 the bay area how do you hear

7
00:00:40,069 --> 00:00:30,180
loud and clear how do you hear me

8
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:41,990
what was the most challenging problem

9
00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:44,480
you encountered on your mission how did

10
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:50,229
well that's a great that's a great

11
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:52,640
question um i we have a lot of

12
00:00:58,069 --> 00:00:55,520
challenges every day but i think one of

13
00:01:01,910 --> 00:00:58,079
the more interesting ones was on my

14
00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:01,920
first spacewalk when we had a leak

15
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:04,559
in the hose that we connect to the

16
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:07,119
spacesuits while we're getting ready so

17
00:01:12,149 --> 00:01:09,200
we have to be in the spacesuits for a

18
00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:12,159
long time before we go outside and so

19
00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:14,640
these umbilicals connect to us and give

20
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:18,000
us water and power and scrub our air

21
00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:20,320
they do everything for us

22
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:22,400
so that the suit the space suit and all

23
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:24,240
of its systems don't have to work so

24
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:27,439
hard but unfortunately we had a bad leak

25
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:29,520
and what that showed me

26
00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:32,320
um both peggy and i were pretty helpless

27
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:34,240
we couldn't do much we were just sitting

28
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:37,600
in the space suits but our incredible

29
00:01:42,149 --> 00:01:39,520
crewmate was able to

30
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:42,159
reload the water that we had lost

31
00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:45,600
and get everything ready inside and this

32
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:49,280
massive ground team was able to not only

33
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:51,040
fix the systems

34
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:53,600
but build a plan for us to go outside

35
00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:56,960
and do the main tasks that our our

36
00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,360
spacewalk was supposed to accomplish

37
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:01,920
they had everything all the skids were

38
00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:03,360
greased

39
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:05,200
they were ready to go so when we went

40
00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:07,920
out the robotic arm was ready and the

41
00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:09,599
lights were ready and the calm was ready

42
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:11,840
and the plan was ready and it just

43
00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:14,319
showed me that for those

44
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:16,160
absolutely

45
00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:18,720
incredible things for those super hard

46
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:21,280
things you can't do it alone you have to

47
00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:23,440
work as a team and there's no better

48
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:25,120
team when it comes to the impossible

49
00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:27,280
than nasa and and the crew that we get

50
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:34,470
my name is donovan

51
00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:37,200
um what is the most surprising thing you

52
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:45,270
man there's so many things obviously the

53
00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:49,360
space walk was so cool uh but it's it's

54
00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:52,000
you just get excited i'm like a 12 year

55
00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:54,239
old boy after a couple cappuccinos

56
00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:55,280
because

57
00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:58,400
everything i see is so cool whether i'm

58
00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:01,760
working on the toilet or doing a space

59
00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:02,959
walk

60
00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:05,280
it's just totally different than what i

61
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:07,760
knew before

62
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:09,120
you know

63
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:11,120
looking out the window of course is

64
00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:13,680
amazing because you see the world in a

65
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:16,319
totally different perspective

66
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:18,800
eating your food totally different all

67
00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:20,800
of these things give you a different

68
00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:22,879
perspective on

69
00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:25,599
life and everything within it and it

70
00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:27,360
helps you grow

71
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,159
uh i hope and i wish for all of you that

72
00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:32,640
you never stop learning that you keep

73
00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:35,120
your mind open to new ideas and new

74
00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:37,120
perspectives so that you can look at

75
00:03:44,949 --> 00:03:40,640
problems in multiple ways and and grow

76
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:47,509
hi my name is cole and what was the

77
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:50,480
biggest hardship you endured in coming

78
00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:58,309
well that's a good question you know and

79
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:01,120
i i it was it was obviously pretty hard

80
00:04:05,670 --> 00:04:03,920
to learn how to fly a russian spaceship

81
00:04:08,229 --> 00:04:05,680
in the russian language

82
00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:08,239
but the hardest thing is being away from

83
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:09,920
your family and it's the same thing that

84
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:11,760
all of our brave men and women in the

85
00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:13,120
military

86
00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:14,959
endure every day

87
00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:17,359
all over the world uh being separated

88
00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:19,199
from your family is the biggest hardship

89
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:20,959
and as an astronaut you actually are

90
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:23,520
gone quite a bit uh so that's kind of

91
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:28,390
say your name

92
00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:30,400
my name is bryson

93
00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:34,000
what procedures do you follow if a fire

94
00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:35,919
brings up on the

95
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:45,189
ah if a fire breaks out so

96
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:47,600
there's three big emergencies that we

97
00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:50,320
have on the space station fire

98
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:52,080
an ammonia leak

99
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:54,800
or depress depressurization like we have

100
00:05:01,350 --> 00:04:57,840
a hole and those three

101
00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:01,360
emergencies we train for all the time we

102
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:03,919
have these books that are in different

103
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:06,000
places around the station

104
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:07,440
excuse me

105
00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:10,720
and on our computers and then we train

106
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:12,960
exactly what we're supposed to do like

107
00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:15,759
for a fire if this computer started on

108
00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:18,880
fire we know exactly okay i'm gonna

109
00:05:23,830 --> 00:05:20,960
press the button over there it's gonna

110
00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:23,840
shut off the ventilation if i i'm gonna

111
00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:26,560
unplug the computer hopefully that works

112
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:29,520
then there's fire extinguishers we have

113
00:05:34,550 --> 00:05:32,400
a plan for all six people on board what

114
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:34,560
they'll be doing maybe they'll grab the

115
00:05:37,830 --> 00:05:36,560
equipment out of the module or they'll

116
00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:37,840
help me

117
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:40,800
fighting the fire or if a fire

118
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:42,639
extinguisher doesn't work then maybe

119
00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:44,160
we'll power down

120
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:47,520
racks or or the whole module so we have

121
00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:49,759
very strict procedures

122
00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:52,160
that we practice all the time so we know

123
00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:54,720
them cold because in the case of an

124
00:05:59,430 --> 00:05:57,440
emergency like that you really don't

125
00:06:02,870 --> 00:05:59,440
want to have to think about it you just

126
00:06:08,390 --> 00:06:02,880
want to do it and we can do that because

127
00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:11,110
hello my name is colin what part of

128
00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:20,390
man pretty much the whole darn thing

129
00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:22,960
it's exciting once you're here i imagine

130
00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:24,800
it's going to be exciting going home but

131
00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:27,440
i think the coolest part was was

132
00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:29,360
launching because it's like

133
00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:31,520
gas mileage for excitement it was the

134
00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:34,560
most bang for your buck in eight minutes

135
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:36,800
i went from sitting still on a launch

136
00:06:43,510 --> 00:06:40,160
pad to being in orbit and that was just

137
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:43,520
amazing i've flown a lot of planes and

138
00:06:48,469 --> 00:06:46,000
with lots of thrust but nothing really

139
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:48,479
compared to having almost a million

140
00:06:52,629 --> 00:06:50,400
pounds under me

141
00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:52,639
get me to orbit in eight minutes it was

142
00:07:04,150 --> 00:06:56,160
just like riding a crazy wild bull that

143
00:07:08,469 --> 00:07:06,629
hi my name is jackson what are some of

144
00:07:11,590 --> 00:07:08,479
the studies and experiments you are

145
00:07:13,749 --> 00:07:11,600
working on in space

146
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:13,759
[Music]

147
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:16,240
boy there sure are a lot of them we uh

148
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:19,199
we will probably work on about 300

149
00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:22,560
experiments over the six months or so

150
00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:25,599
that we're on orbit for my expedition

151
00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:27,759
and it they range

152
00:07:31,909 --> 00:07:29,840
the whole spectrum

153
00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:31,919
we have we have experiments from

154
00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:33,680
elementary schools

155
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:35,919
middle school high school colleges

156
00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:37,280
universities

157
00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:40,560
cutting edge research everything and we

158
00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:43,120
are constantly pinging back and forth

159
00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:44,800
working on these

160
00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:46,800
as far as examples

161
00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:48,560
one that we're going to be working on

162
00:07:53,749 --> 00:07:52,160
here this week is a we're growing

163
00:07:55,749 --> 00:07:53,759
lung cancer

164
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:55,759
cultures and testing a new drug that

165
00:07:58,790 --> 00:07:57,570
actually targets those

166
00:08:00,629 --> 00:07:58,800
[Music]

167
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:00,639
stuff like that

168
00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:03,120
happens every day here and it's so

169
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:05,840
exciting because you get to feel like

170
00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:08,080
you're a part of something bigger than

171
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:09,520
yourself and that you're actually going

172
00:08:14,869 --> 00:08:12,400
to make a difference so

173
00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:14,879
there's just so many experiments and

174
00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:17,120
we're really excited to see the the

175
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:23,909
hi my name is matthew and

176
00:08:27,909 --> 00:08:25,120
if you could

177
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:27,919
pilot a rocket ship anywhere in the in

178
00:08:38,709 --> 00:08:36,070
well i think it's important for us right

179
00:08:40,949 --> 00:08:38,719
now to get a permanent foothold in the

180
00:08:43,990 --> 00:08:40,959
stars and i think the best place to do

181
00:08:46,230 --> 00:08:44,000
that is mars so i would love to pilot a

182
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:46,240
rocket ship to mars i think we have some

183
00:08:51,269 --> 00:08:48,880
work to do on some of our our systems

184
00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:51,279
especially propulsion but i think we're

185
00:08:57,430 --> 00:08:53,600
going to get there and i would love to

186
00:09:01,670 --> 00:08:59,829
hi my name is hanson what did you hope

187
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:01,680
to gain personally and scientifically

188
00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:10,710
well i think uh being up here we we get

189
00:09:15,990 --> 00:09:13,920
this wonderful deal where we get to have

190
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:16,000
the time of our lives and float around

191
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:17,600
and play with our food and look out the

192
00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:19,360
window and just

193
00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:22,640
be a part of this amazing team but but

194
00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:24,560
that's that's kind of our personal

195
00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:27,440
reward we're not trying to gain anything

196
00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:30,000
out of it we're trying to be part of the

197
00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:33,120
team and we are the lucky few

198
00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:36,000
in this huge worldwide team that are

199
00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:38,560
able to be up here but we understand our

200
00:09:42,389 --> 00:09:39,440
place

201
00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:42,399
where our job is to do those last little

202
00:09:45,910 --> 00:09:44,480
tweaks to experiments to get the data

203
00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:45,920
back to the ground

204
00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:48,320
so the true heroes the people who come

205
00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:49,600
up with these

206
00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:52,240
experiments who do the the research the

207
00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:54,640
people who run this space station and

208
00:09:59,509 --> 00:09:56,399
make sure the power works and the

209
00:10:01,829 --> 00:09:59,519
waterworks and everything comes together

210
00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:01,839
those folks are the ones that are

211
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:04,399
creating the science and all we're here

212
00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:07,360
to do is support them so that that

213
00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:09,200
science can get out to the world and

214
00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:16,310
hi my name is james what is it like

215
00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:18,880
communicating with your family and like

216
00:10:29,269 --> 00:10:26,150
well it's not bad we have a internet

217
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:29,279
protocol phone so uh every now and again

218
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:31,680
we can call on the telephone and talk to

219
00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:32,560
them

220
00:10:39,509 --> 00:10:36,399
and uh sometimes we even get a video

221
00:10:42,389 --> 00:10:39,519
link so that we can have kind of like a

222
00:10:44,069 --> 00:10:42,399
a video conference with our family

223
00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,079
i just had one

224
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:46,480
let's see it was yesterday i had one

225
00:10:51,430 --> 00:10:49,200
with my mom for her birthday so we get

226
00:10:55,910 --> 00:10:51,440
we get to talk with our families and and

227
00:10:59,350 --> 00:10:58,389
hi my name is jamie

228
00:11:01,350 --> 00:10:59,360
and

229
00:11:07,670 --> 00:11:01,360
what advice could you give to a young

230
00:11:10,710 --> 00:11:09,990
boy now that's a good question

231
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:10,720
so

232
00:11:15,430 --> 00:11:13,600
my dad he died when i was pretty young

233
00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:15,440
and and the last thing he said to me was

234
00:11:19,269 --> 00:11:17,519
i dare you to dream and

235
00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:19,279
that's my advice

236
00:11:23,829 --> 00:11:20,240
because

237
00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:23,839
the dream part only you can define what

238
00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:26,720
it is that lights the fire in your soul

239
00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:29,519
the the passion within you you have to

240
00:11:34,470 --> 00:11:32,399
find something that you truly love

241
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:34,480
and that you're passionate about

242
00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:36,720
and then the dare part you gotta work

243
00:11:39,670 --> 00:11:37,680
for it

244
00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:39,680
nobody's gonna give it to you not

245
00:11:47,269 --> 00:11:43,519
everybody gets a a trophy uh in life

246
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:47,279
if you don't work really hard

247
00:11:54,790 --> 00:11:49,920
you'll never achieve those dreams so i

248
00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:57,430
hi my name is walker

249
00:12:06,629 --> 00:11:59,360
what is the most difficult task an

250
00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:07,590
boy

251
00:12:11,829 --> 00:12:10,320
the most difficult

252
00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:11,839
i think

253
00:12:14,710 --> 00:12:12,720
hmm

254
00:12:17,829 --> 00:12:14,720
i i guess it would just be being away

255
00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:17,839
from your family it's uh i really like

256
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:19,040
my wife

257
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:20,959
and my family and

258
00:12:26,230 --> 00:12:23,680
that's really the hardest part because

259
00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:26,240
everything we do up here is so darn much

260
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:28,160
fun that

261
00:12:34,470 --> 00:12:31,680
it it's it's really not hard it's just

262
00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:34,480
awesome so i love being up here i just

263
00:12:45,590 --> 00:12:42,069
hi my name is gabriel

264
00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:45,600
has your time on the iss cause you to

265
00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:48,160
consider or discount a future crypt to

266
00:12:58,790 --> 00:12:55,350
well absolutely we're uh doing research

267
00:13:00,949 --> 00:12:58,800
on all sorts of systems for a mars trip

268
00:13:03,509 --> 00:13:00,959
so i absolutely

269
00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:03,519
consider that we will be going to mars i

270
00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:05,600
know we're going to go to mars

271
00:13:10,069 --> 00:13:07,040
we have

272
00:13:13,430 --> 00:13:10,079
tomorrow we're going to be testing a

273
00:13:15,990 --> 00:13:13,440
athletic or a training system for

274
00:13:18,629 --> 00:13:16,000
physical fitness for the vehicle that

275
00:13:21,430 --> 00:13:18,639
goes to mars so we're looking at all

276
00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:21,440
sorts of systems that we can use the the

277
00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:23,279
life support systems that we have on the

278
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:26,480
station all sorts of things are to build

279
00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:28,320
the infrastructure

280
00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:31,360
so that when your generation is about my

281
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:33,440
age or maybe a little less

282
00:13:45,430 --> 00:13:42,550
hi my name is andrew what is the one

283
00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:45,440
thing you miss the most about not being

284
00:13:55,829 --> 00:13:51,990
i might sound like a broken record

285
00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:55,839
aren't i i i miss my wife my family my

286
00:13:59,430 --> 00:13:57,920
wife's my everything so

287
00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:59,440
that that's kind of

288
00:14:08,949 --> 00:14:01,680
she she's the battery that recharges my

289
00:14:14,310 --> 00:14:11,670
hi my name is miguel do you have any

290
00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:14,320
physical or mental rehab when you return

291
00:14:23,829 --> 00:14:21,430
well they they do go through quite a bit

292
00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:23,839
of rehab i don't think there's a whole

293
00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:25,760
lot of mental we still talk to our

294
00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:27,839
doctors and make sure that we're not

295
00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:29,040
crazy

296
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:32,880
regardless but physical there's

297
00:14:38,629 --> 00:14:35,760
definitely a lot of rehab because when

298
00:14:41,670 --> 00:14:38,639
we come up here the body is really smart

299
00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:41,680
the brain goes okay i don't need to work

300
00:14:45,590 --> 00:14:43,519
as hard because i don't have to fight

301
00:14:46,389 --> 00:14:45,600
gravity to keep blood where it needs to

302
00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:46,399
be

303
00:14:51,189 --> 00:14:48,639
and the bones and the muscles they're

304
00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:51,199
like hey i can take a break so we have

305
00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:54,320
to fight those urges of our body to

306
00:14:58,870 --> 00:14:56,480
relax and adapt to this new environment

307
00:15:01,750 --> 00:14:58,880
because when we get back

308
00:15:03,829 --> 00:15:01,760
we have to re-acclimate to earth and

309
00:15:06,310 --> 00:15:03,839
it's a whole lot harder going back to

310
00:15:09,189 --> 00:15:06,320
earth than it is coming up here

311
00:15:11,910 --> 00:15:09,199
one of one of the main things

312
00:15:13,509 --> 00:15:11,920
not just your physical fitness

313
00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:13,519
but also

314
00:15:19,509 --> 00:15:14,560
just

315
00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:19,519
stuff floats so you

316
00:15:23,350 --> 00:15:21,440
when instead of putting it down on a

317
00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:23,360
table you just kind of sit there and you

318
00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:24,880
go over here and you do something and

319
00:15:29,749 --> 00:15:27,120
you come back and it's still there

320
00:15:33,749 --> 00:15:29,759
you you get used to

321
00:15:36,069 --> 00:15:33,759
stuff floating and flying and you try to

322
00:15:37,910 --> 00:15:36,079
fly stuff back on earth and it doesn't

323
00:15:40,629 --> 00:15:37,920
work so good so i've heard a lot of

324
00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:40,639
stories about people you know

325
00:15:44,470 --> 00:15:42,480
throwing a plate to their wife or

326
00:15:46,949 --> 00:15:44,480
floating a plate to their wife back home

327
00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:46,959
and it just hits the ground so there's

328
00:15:55,990 --> 00:15:49,040
definitely rehab we got to rewire our

329
00:16:02,069 --> 00:15:59,430
hi my name is nicholas and what res what

330
00:16:08,069 --> 00:16:02,079
aspect of your time on the iss is most

331
00:16:13,189 --> 00:16:10,710
i think every day is and it's because

332
00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:13,199
you really feel like you're part of a

333
00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:16,240
team and it's a worldwide team every

334
00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:19,279
morning we have a conference at around 7

335
00:16:24,790 --> 00:16:22,079
or 7 30 in the morning and it's 7 or 7

336
00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:24,800
30 at night and it is the entire world

337
00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:28,560
we have centers in japan in germany in

338
00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:33,040
france in canada in houston in alabama

339
00:16:38,870 --> 00:16:36,240
huntsville alabama in moscow all over

340
00:16:41,590 --> 00:16:38,880
the place and we all come together to

341
00:16:43,749 --> 00:16:41,600
talk about the plan for the day and then

342
00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:43,759
we execute that plan together and then

343
00:16:48,470 --> 00:16:45,440
we talk about what we did and what we're

344
00:16:51,189 --> 00:16:48,480
going to do the next day it is so cool

345
00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:51,199
to be even a small part of such an

346
00:16:57,910 --> 00:16:53,759
amazing team that's accomplishing

347
00:17:02,790 --> 00:16:59,990
hi my name is sebastian with all the

348
00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:02,800
space debris how do you

349
00:17:15,189 --> 00:17:12,710
well we have we have engines on the

350
00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:15,199
space station on the russian segment

351
00:17:21,189 --> 00:17:17,199
they're kind of on the back end

352
00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:21,199
and the air force tracks all the debris

353
00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:23,280
and when they determine

354
00:17:28,150 --> 00:17:26,160
that there's going to be a potential for

355
00:17:29,909 --> 00:17:28,160
something to hit us something big enough

356
00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:29,919
that's really going to hurt us

357
00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:34,000
then we try to do and burn a impulse out

358
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:36,080
of those rocket engines to raise our

359
00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:38,400
altitude and get out of the way and

360
00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:40,400
sometimes we don't have enough time

361
00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:43,360
because we find out about it too late

362
00:17:47,909 --> 00:17:45,120
and when that happens

363
00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:47,919
we don't have time to do the impulse so

364
00:17:54,310 --> 00:17:50,480
we basically go and sit in our soyuz in

365
00:17:56,150 --> 00:17:54,320
our spacesuit and if the iss gets hit if

366
00:17:58,710 --> 00:17:56,160
the space station gets hit then we may

367
00:18:00,789 --> 00:17:58,720
have to leave so we

368
00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:00,799
prepare for the worst and hope for the

369
00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:04,160
best but most of the time the good old

370
00:18:10,470 --> 00:18:07,280
air force finds those things beforehand

371
00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:10,480
and tells us and then our team in

372
00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:12,960
mission control in houston and moscow

373
00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:14,400
determine how we're going to use the

374
00:18:24,230 --> 00:18:22,070
hi my name is joe without the protection

375
00:18:30,789 --> 00:18:24,240
of the earth's atmosphere how do you

376
00:18:35,190 --> 00:18:32,710
well that's a great question there's

377
00:18:37,029 --> 00:18:35,200
actually uh magnetic fields around the

378
00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:37,039
earth they're called the van allen belts

379
00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:39,200
and we're still within them so we still

380
00:18:43,270 --> 00:18:41,200
get a lot of the protection the same

381
00:18:45,510 --> 00:18:43,280
protection that the earth does from

382
00:18:47,510 --> 00:18:45,520
radiation that's not to say that we

383
00:18:50,470 --> 00:18:47,520
don't get a lot more than folks on the

384
00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:50,480
ground we will glow just a little bit

385
00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:52,559
when we get home but for the most part

386
00:19:02,390 --> 00:19:00,230
hi my name is ella

387
00:19:04,789 --> 00:19:02,400
how do you feel private space vehicles

388
00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:04,799
have changed nasa's ability to complete

389
00:19:17,029 --> 00:19:13,750
they're a huge huge boon to us because

390
00:19:20,470 --> 00:19:17,039
they are allowing nasa to focus on deep

391
00:19:22,549 --> 00:19:20,480
space exploration so nasa now is

392
00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:22,559
focusing on building the space launch

393
00:19:28,789 --> 00:19:25,760
system the biggest rocket ever

394
00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:28,799
and then the orion vehicle to go further

395
00:19:33,190 --> 00:19:31,120
and deeper into space

396
00:19:35,430 --> 00:19:33,200
those are the things that

397
00:19:36,549 --> 00:19:35,440
nasa gets to focus on because the

398
00:19:39,270 --> 00:19:36,559
commercial

399
00:19:41,669 --> 00:19:39,280
industry is focusing on how to get

400
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:41,679
astronauts and cosmonauts to the space

401
00:19:45,909 --> 00:19:43,760
station

402
00:19:49,590 --> 00:19:45,919
they are building the infrastructure so

403
00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:49,600
that we can have this wide broad strong

404
00:19:57,110 --> 00:19:52,720
base to jump off into the universe and

405
00:20:01,990 --> 00:19:59,510
hi my name is carson

406
00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:02,000
what surprised you most about life in

407
00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:09,750
you know i think you know we talked

408
00:20:14,950 --> 00:20:11,840
about it earlier i think the the most

409
00:20:16,149 --> 00:20:14,960
surprising thing is just how cool it is

410
00:20:18,870 --> 00:20:16,159
you just

411
00:20:21,590 --> 00:20:18,880
everything's cool you're you're eating

412
00:20:23,909 --> 00:20:21,600
you're pudding and it's

413
00:20:25,990 --> 00:20:23,919
squirting into a big old mountain that

414
00:20:29,350 --> 00:20:26,000
wobbles all about you look out the

415
00:20:32,390 --> 00:20:29,360
window and the aurora is just alive and

416
00:20:34,549 --> 00:20:32,400
these green and purple and white ribbons

417
00:20:36,789 --> 00:20:34,559
dancing across the sky

418
00:20:39,669 --> 00:20:36,799
you you go outside on a spacewalk and

419
00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:39,679
you look up and see at night more stars

420
00:20:44,630 --> 00:20:41,840
than you thought were possible

421
00:20:46,789 --> 00:20:44,640
everything about this place is just

422
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:46,799
awesome and it really stretches your

423
00:20:51,029 --> 00:20:49,520
mind and forces you to grow and i love

424
00:20:53,830 --> 00:20:51,039
that so

425
00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:53,840
why is the most surprising thing is that

426
00:20:56,950 --> 00:20:56,240
i never could have imagined how cool it

427
00:20:58,789 --> 00:20:56,960
is

428
00:21:00,630 --> 00:20:58,799
to be in space and i want to do

429
00:21:02,549 --> 00:21:00,640
everything that i can

430
00:21:08,470 --> 00:21:02,559
in the future to get more people just

431
00:21:13,909 --> 00:21:10,630
hi my name is kyla how has the

432
00:21:19,590 --> 00:21:13,919
development of space science changed

433
00:21:24,710 --> 00:21:21,750
boy that's a good question the

434
00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:24,720
the space station has been evolving and

435
00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:26,960
still evolves every single time a new

436
00:21:31,909 --> 00:21:29,200
vehicle comes up because every time a

437
00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:31,919
vehicle comes up we bring new

438
00:21:35,669 --> 00:21:34,000
technology new equipment

439
00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:35,679
new racks

440
00:21:41,029 --> 00:21:38,720
new experiments new supplies to make

441
00:21:43,110 --> 00:21:41,039
this place better and to continue to

442
00:21:46,630 --> 00:21:43,120
grow

443
00:21:47,510 --> 00:21:46,640
right next to me is a rack that has uh

444
00:21:50,149 --> 00:21:47,520
these

445
00:21:52,470 --> 00:21:50,159
small experiments called nanoracks and

446
00:21:54,630 --> 00:21:52,480
they're a great example of a very

447
00:21:56,549 --> 00:21:54,640
flexible uh

448
00:21:59,110 --> 00:21:56,559
lower cost

449
00:22:02,390 --> 00:21:59,120
but not necessarily lower technology

450
00:22:06,310 --> 00:22:02,400
experiments that are able to be flown

451
00:22:09,430 --> 00:22:06,320
and run and returned at a much

452
00:22:11,909 --> 00:22:09,440
faster rate and that allows the science

453
00:22:14,230 --> 00:22:11,919
on the space station to keep up with the

454
00:22:15,669 --> 00:22:14,240
science on the earth and now start to

455
00:22:19,110 --> 00:22:15,679
outpace it

456
00:22:21,270 --> 00:22:19,120
because in addition to having

457
00:22:23,909 --> 00:22:21,280
the lack of gravity and and some of the

458
00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:23,919
other forces that can dominate problems

459
00:22:27,990 --> 00:22:25,840
and models on the ground we don't have

460
00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:28,000
those so if we can get the best

461
00:22:32,230 --> 00:22:30,559
technology up here as well then we're

462
00:22:34,230 --> 00:22:32,240
going to be able to do even better

463
00:22:36,630 --> 00:22:34,240
science and

464
00:22:38,789 --> 00:22:36,640
over the last couple of years

465
00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:38,799
just an example

466
00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:40,640
five years ago say

467
00:22:44,630 --> 00:22:43,520
if we got 30 hours of science for a

468
00:22:47,190 --> 00:22:44,640
whole crew

469
00:22:48,070 --> 00:22:47,200
in one week it was amazing

470
00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:48,080
now

471
00:22:52,710 --> 00:22:50,080
we'll probably break a hundred hours

472
00:22:55,750 --> 00:22:52,720
this week with the people we have on

473
00:22:58,470 --> 00:22:55,760
board because the program and the

474
00:23:00,870 --> 00:22:58,480
the the team is so much better at

475
00:23:02,630 --> 00:23:00,880
getting science done and making that the

476
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:02,640
focus of this place

477
00:23:07,669 --> 00:23:04,960
so it is it has been an evolution it

478
00:23:11,830 --> 00:23:07,679
continues to evolve and i just can't

479
00:23:16,070 --> 00:23:13,830
jack this is keith trimble i'm the cup

480
00:23:18,070 --> 00:23:16,080
master at pax 643 that was our last

481
00:23:25,270 --> 00:23:18,080
question she wanted to thank you so much

482
00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:26,710
i want to thank you for your service to

483
00:23:30,310 --> 00:23:28,320
our country and thank you so much for

484
00:23:32,740 --> 00:23:30,320
sharing your energy and expanding the

485
00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:32,750
horizons of our young children thank you

486
00:23:37,350 --> 00:23:35,440
[Applause]

487
00:23:40,149 --> 00:23:37,360
you bet i'll try to do a flip while you

488
00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:40,159
guys are watching woo

489
00:23:43,669 --> 00:23:41,200
see

490
00:23:45,269 --> 00:23:43,679
everything's cooler in space well thanks

491
00:23:47,990 --> 00:23:45,279
for having me and and it was great

492
00:23:50,149 --> 00:23:48,000
talking to y'all

493

thank you to all participants from boy

495
00:24:00,870 --> 00:23:59,039
scouts of the bay area station we are
