00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:16,400
talking to the expert in space today

28
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:18,720
it's super exciting and again just wrap

29
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:20,880
your mind about around that we're about

30
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:23,360
to talk to somebody in outer space

31
00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:25,280
yeah how cool is that this is crazy i

32
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:26,560
mean we're looking at him right now

33
00:01:30,469 --> 00:01:28,640
getting set up this is crazy i mean for

34
00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:30,479
for me this personally this is my very

35
00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:32,640
first time talking to somebody in space

36
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:34,799
that's right gary's newer here so he

37
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:36,720
hasn't had the privilege i've been here

38
00:01:40,069 --> 00:01:38,240
a little bit longer and i've done it

39
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:40,079
maybe once or twice still but it's still

40
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:41,520
it's really exciting it makes you a

41
00:01:45,429 --> 00:01:42,960
little bit nervous

42
00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:45,439
but it's really cool to live in a time

43
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:47,520
where we have the capabilities to talk

44
00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:49,600
to somebody who's in outer space we're

45
00:01:53,429 --> 00:01:52,159
flying around us right at 17 000 miles

46
00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:53,439
an hour i mean

47
00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:55,520
one of the coolest examples i can think

48
00:01:59,429 --> 00:01:57,520
of that happening and it shows you just

49
00:02:01,510 --> 00:01:59,439
how far we've come i mean it used to be

50
00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:01,520
you needed satellite dishes and

51
00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:03,680
technology and that weighed millions of

52
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:05,200
pounds all these things just to talk to

53
00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:06,640
somebody you know a few hundred miles

54
00:02:10,469 --> 00:02:08,959
away and now you can talk to somebody in

55
00:02:12,710 --> 00:02:10,479
space in a cell phone that actually

56
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:12,720
happened to us once we were over in

57
00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:14,959
kazakhstan and we had just watched one

58
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:16,160
of the crews launched to the

59
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:18,720
international space station and it had

60
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:20,560
been a couple of hours so they're almost

61
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:22,480
docked and we were heading to an old

62
00:02:27,430 --> 00:02:25,360
theater in baikonur to go watch the

63
00:02:29,589 --> 00:02:27,440
actual docking and the crew members get

64
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:29,599
there and one of my colleagues phones

65
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:30,800
rang

66
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:32,080
and he answered it and you could just

67
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:34,640
see his face light up and it was just a

68
00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:36,560
real short conversation oh yeah no that

69
00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:38,319
sounds great sounds cool yeah we'll

70
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:40,400
definitely use that that was it he hung

71
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:42,400
up and he said that was the commander of

72
00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:44,160
the international space station he just

73
00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:45,680
called me on my cell phone to tell me

74
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:47,519
how he was setting up a camera to watch

75
00:02:52,229 --> 00:02:50,000
the crew members come on board so i mean

76
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:52,239
just that like blew my mind because we

77
00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:53,680
were just in this remote part of the

78
00:02:57,509 --> 00:02:55,519
planet and you can get a phone call from

79
00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:57,519
somebody in space like it's just so

80
00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:59,360
incredible that we're living in this

81
00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:01,200
time and we're about to talk to somebody

82
00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:02,720
in space and if you can't tell i'm

83
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:05,680
really excited and i know gary is too

84
00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:07,440
yeah very very true it's just crazy you

85
00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:09,040
could pick up a box and then literally

86
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:11,040
it is it is space calling i've heard

87
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:12,640
stories of all you know astronauts

88
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:14,640
calling pizza joints and ordering pizza

89
00:03:18,309 --> 00:03:16,480
for a colleague whose birthday it was or

90
00:03:19,589 --> 00:03:18,319
something like that it's just that's

91
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:19,599
it's the most insane thing to think

92
00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:21,760
about but okay so today we're talking

93
00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:24,080
with somebody in space jack fisher let's

94
00:03:27,830 --> 00:03:25,599
talk a little bit about him who is this

95
00:03:30,550 --> 00:03:27,840
guy so jack fisher is one of the flight

96
00:03:32,229 --> 00:03:30,560
engineers for expedition 52 he's been on

97
00:03:34,149 --> 00:03:32,239
board the international space station

98
00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:34,159
since april when he launched with the

99
00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:36,720
russian cosmonaut fyodor yurchikhin jack

100
00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:38,400
is one of the relatively newer

101
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:40,319
astronauts in the corps he was selected

102
00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:43,200
back in 2009 and this is his first space

103
00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:44,720
flight so this is his first time in

104
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:46,480
space and he's been up there for a

105
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:48,879
couple of months now he's got a stem

106
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:51,200
background like all of the astronauts do

107
00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:53,200
degrees in aeronautical engineering and

108
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:55,439
aeronautics and astronautics a lot of a

109
00:04:00,149 --> 00:03:57,760
words in there and he went to mit so

110
00:04:01,589 --> 00:04:00,159
he's got a pretty nice resume to make

111
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:01,599
him an astronaut

112
00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:03,120
but he was also in the air force he's an

113
00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:05,599
air force colonel with 3 000 flight

114
00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:08,000
hours more than 45 different aircraft

115
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:09,599
and he worked in a whole bunch of

116
00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:12,080
different jobs before he ever flew into

117
00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:13,920
space and all the astronauts do that

118
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:14,720
they

119
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:18,959
technical programs here at nasa jack was

120
00:04:22,870 --> 00:04:21,120
a capcom so he was one of the people who

121
00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:22,880
actually talks to astronauts every

122
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:24,880
single day oh wow so you know for people

123
00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:26,400
like them talking to somebody in space

124
00:04:30,070 --> 00:04:28,000
it's their job it's kind of you know

125
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:30,080
it's old hat for us it's super unique

126
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:31,040
but

127
00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:32,720
he's done all those things and now he's

128
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:34,479
been on board for the last couple of

129
00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:36,320
months and he's been doing everything

130
00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:39,440
from spacewalking to science to

131
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:41,440
capturing visiting spacecraft kind of

132
00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:44,080
the whole gamut of stuff unbelievable

133
00:04:48,629 --> 00:04:46,800
okay so he's he's you know now he's got

134
00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:48,639
that experience right he's got not only

135
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:50,960
the the flight time just in planes but

136
00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:52,960
now he's got flight time you know

137
00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:55,440
traveling 250 miles above the earth

138
00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:58,560
really really fast so uh he's got so how

139
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:01,280
were his uh spacewalks what's that

140
00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:04,320
yeah so he did two spacewalks and every

141
00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:06,639
astronaut will tell you that spacewalks

142
00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:08,000
are one of the most unique one of the

143
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:09,840
most dynamic things they get to do it's

144
00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:11,280
kind of one of the coolest things about

145
00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:14,080
being in space a lot of times and he did

146
00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,720
two back in may one they just replaced a

147
00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:18,240
component on the outside and the other

148
00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:19,919
one was something we called an unplanned

149
00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:22,320
spacewalk where something broke and they

150
00:05:26,390 --> 00:05:24,720
had to go outside and replace it and so

151
00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:26,400
he did both of those with peggy whitson

152
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:27,840
who's been up there with him the whole

153
00:05:33,189 --> 00:05:30,400
time he affectionately refers to her as

154
00:05:35,110 --> 00:05:33,199
the space ninja she is the all-time

155
00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:35,120
record holder for american astronauts

156
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:36,960
for time and space so definitely a good

157
00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:38,880
person to have up there with you for

158
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:41,039

159
00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:43,440
awesome well okay so we are going to be

160
00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:45,680
talking to jack fisher here in just a

161
00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:47,759
few minutes if you are tuning in on

162
00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:49,600
facebook live we are actually monitoring

163
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:51,440
the questions right here and going to

164
00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:53,440
answer them as they come along maybe

165
00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:55,680
even send a couple up to jack once we

166
00:05:59,189 --> 00:05:57,520
get started here so we have a couple

167
00:06:01,430 --> 00:05:59,199
coming in already we have folks checking

168
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:01,440
in from all over the world i see some

169
00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:04,000
from italy i see some from obviously

170
00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:05,520
here in the states so

171
00:06:09,909 --> 00:06:08,000
everyone welcome i did see one question

172
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:09,919
actually before we even started this one

173
00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:12,160
this one is from kelly and she said her

174
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:14,000
five-year-old was asking if some of the

175
00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:16,000
astronauts watch movies on the

176
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:18,560
international they do they do we do like

177
00:06:22,469 --> 00:06:20,400
to equip them with some of the the kind

178
00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:22,479
of creature comforts of being back here

179
00:06:26,230 --> 00:06:24,479
at home cool and one thing they have up

180
00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:26,240
there is they actually have a very small

181
00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:27,840
projector and then a large screen i

182
00:06:31,270 --> 00:06:30,080
think it's about 40 inches or so and

183
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:31,280
they'll have movie nights and we

184
00:06:36,469 --> 00:06:33,600
actually we do have a picture and this

185
00:06:38,550 --> 00:06:36,479
is all six crew members they use bungee

186
00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:38,560
cords to kind of make little lean-to

187
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:40,080
hammocks and even breaking out their

188
00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:42,880
sleeping bags to get to gather together

189
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,720
and watch movies in space

190
00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:46,479
a lot of them will tell you they like to

191
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:48,319
watch a lot of space movies just because

192
00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:49,919
i mean they're up there they're living

193
00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:51,039
it but

194
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:52,400
it's just one of those things that kind

195
00:06:56,309 --> 00:06:54,800
of makes living in space a little bit

196
00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:56,319
more like being back here at home

197
00:06:59,749 --> 00:06:57,759
because i mean you're in a really

198
00:07:01,830 --> 00:06:59,759
strange place it's true you're

199
00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:01,840
completely isolated from so from

200
00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:04,240
everybody except for the two or five

201
00:07:08,550 --> 00:07:06,800
people with you so having things like

202
00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:08,560
movies can make that time a lot easier

203
00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:10,160
and it seems like camaraderie has got to

204
00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:11,840
be one of the more important aspects of

205
00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:13,280
living in space too just getting along

206
00:07:16,150 --> 00:07:14,560
with your crewmates and doing stuff

207
00:07:17,510 --> 00:07:16,160
together i know i guess they watch

208
00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:17,520
movies together as we just saw in that

209
00:07:21,830 --> 00:07:18,960
picture but i know they eat meals

210
00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:21,840
together too oh yeah they do and

211
00:07:26,230 --> 00:07:24,160
they're together for years before they

212
00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:26,240
ever fly they'll usually be with this

213
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:28,000
you'll be with the same people pretty

214
00:07:32,469 --> 00:07:30,560
much throughout all of your work time

215
00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:32,479
for two years before you ever fly in

216
00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:34,000
space with them so they know each other

217
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:35,919
very well before they fly meals are

218
00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:37,280
definitely one of those so it's an

219
00:07:41,189 --> 00:07:38,960
international space station so there's a

220
00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:41,199
lot of international foods so they like

221
00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:42,720
to come together and share little

222
00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:44,560
creations the food's not

223
00:07:47,990 --> 00:07:46,319
quite as gourmet as it might be down

224
00:07:49,909 --> 00:07:48,000
here on earth but they do have a couple

225
00:07:51,189 --> 00:07:49,919
of ways to make it a little bit more

226
00:07:52,869 --> 00:07:51,199
interesting and

227
00:07:54,150 --> 00:07:52,879
they like to put hot sauces and things

228
00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:54,160
like that and a ton of stuff just

229
00:07:57,990 --> 00:07:56,240
because your your taste actually changes

230
00:08:00,150 --> 00:07:58,000
when you're in space and that's due to

231
00:08:02,469 --> 00:08:00,160
all the fluids rushing up and a whole

232
00:08:03,670 --> 00:08:02,479
bunch of crazy things happen but wow

233
00:08:06,869 --> 00:08:03,680
yeah

234
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:06,879
questions for jack just put him in the

235
00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:08,560
comment section we'll kind of uh follow

236
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:10,800
along and even um he's he's getting set

237
00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:12,400

239
00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:15,840
here uh we'll read those questions up to

240
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:17,680
him um but

241
00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:19,440
personally for me i mean besides just

242
00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:21,360
you reading his bio this is the first

243
00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:23,759
time i've met jack um the first time i'm

244
00:08:28,150 --> 00:08:26,240
actually gonna be talking to him so jack

245
00:08:30,469 --> 00:08:28,160
highly recommend following him on social

246
00:08:32,389 --> 00:08:30,479
media he's brought just an incredible

247
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:32,399
amount of excitement to everything that

248
00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:33,440
he's been doing and again he's a

249
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:35,200
first-timer so he's been experiencing

250
00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:36,880
all this for the first time and sharing

251
00:08:40,709 --> 00:08:39,039
it with people as he did i actually got

252
00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:40,719
to meet jack

253
00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:43,039
three years three years ago we were both

254
00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:45,760
down in florida for orion's first space

255
00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:47,760
flight eft one it was first time we put

256
00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:50,080
orion or next generation spacecraft into

257
00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:52,560
outer space and he was basically

258
00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:55,200
assigned to be our voice

259
00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:56,160
and our

260
00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:58,000
for the entire agency so we went around

261
00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:00,000
talking to media all of these different

262
00:09:03,990 --> 00:09:02,320
people to tell them about orion and

263
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:04,000
again he just brings like this level of

264
00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:06,160
enthusiasm he's got a great sense of

265
00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:08,320
humor he's incredibly knowledgeable so

266
00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:09,920

they're on the in the studio let alone

303
00:10:40,630 --> 00:10:39,120
on the planet so i'm gonna start off

304
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:40,640
this conversation by asking something

305
00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:42,480
that i literally cannot ask anyone else

306
00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:50,310

just because you know it is your first

309
00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:56,079
guest from space

310
00:10:59,750 --> 00:10:57,839
every single question

311
00:11:01,990 --> 00:10:59,760
i'm gonna go on a different you know

312
00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:02,000
wall so i'll be on the walls i'll be on

313
00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:03,200
the ceiling

314
00:11:08,389 --> 00:11:05,920
i'm gonna i'm gonna adjust orientation

315
00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:08,399
mid interview at every question just

316
00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:11,279
because i can and it's cool

317
00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:13,040
i love it okay

318
00:11:16,630 --> 00:11:15,360
awesome so so you're used to space now

319
00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:16,640
you've been up there for what is it

320
00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:18,720
almost four months so i mean when you're

321
00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:21,120
gonna be switching from wall to wall do

322
00:11:26,949 --> 00:11:23,120
you sort of get disoriented or is your

323
00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:29,030
man it kind of figured it out pretty

324
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:30,399
quick and you know that's what's so

325
00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:32,720
awesome about the human brain we come up

326
00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:35,519
here in a completely foreign environment

327
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:38,079
and the brain's just like man all this

328
00:11:42,069 --> 00:11:40,160
vestibular all these things that i

329
00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:42,079
normally use to figure out which way is

330
00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:45,279
up and to orient this body for this dude

331
00:11:49,590 --> 00:11:47,120
doesn't work so i have to find a

332
00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:49,600
different way and it forces your your

333
00:11:54,069 --> 00:11:52,160
mind and your body to grow and to look

334
00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:54,079
at things differently so you start

335
00:11:57,350 --> 00:11:55,120
looking

336
00:12:01,269 --> 00:11:57,360
three-dimensionally at everything around

337
00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:01,279
you and and it's amazing how quickly

338
00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:03,920
your body can adapt and just get used to

339
00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:04,639
it

340
00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:06,000
all right that was question one i got to

341
00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:07,760
switch now

342
00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:09,680
all right well why you do that i mean

343
00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:11,760
that just kind of leads into

344
00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:13,519
what is difficult to get used to when

345
00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:15,120
you get up there because i mean it's a

346
00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:17,519
completely alien environment from what

347
00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:19,600
we grow up and you spend your entire

348
00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:27,190
absolutely and you know it it totally

349
00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:30,320
depends on the person and we can't

350
00:12:34,949 --> 00:12:32,800
really predict uh even depending on your

351
00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:34,959
background i i come from a test pilot

352
00:12:37,829 --> 00:12:36,000
background

353
00:12:39,590 --> 00:12:37,839
and you know can do things in an

354
00:12:40,949 --> 00:12:39,600
airplane that would make a billy goat

355
00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:40,959
puke but

356
00:12:44,790 --> 00:12:42,560
that doesn't mean that when i get up

357
00:12:47,110 --> 00:12:44,800
here i'm gonna be

358
00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:47,120
any better than a

359
00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:49,360
a scientist who's never been in a plane

360
00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:52,000
um it's it's not a good predictor i was

361
00:12:57,910 --> 00:12:54,240
lucky and when i got up here i didn't

362
00:13:00,629 --> 00:12:57,920
have congestion or or upset stomach or

363
00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:00,639
you know any of those those big problems

364
00:13:06,710 --> 00:13:03,920
that some people deal with but everybody

365
00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:06,720
has to learn how to fly and

366
00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:09,440
so as a test pilot i was probably worse

367
00:13:13,670 --> 00:13:11,200
than most because

368
00:13:16,389 --> 00:13:13,680
you know most people find a way to you

369
00:13:18,470 --> 00:13:16,399
know translate and fly from point to

370
00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:18,480
point and and just be happy with it but

371
00:13:21,990 --> 00:13:19,519
for me

372
00:13:23,430 --> 00:13:22,000
every day i got to try something new so

373
00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:23,440
i would

374
00:13:27,430 --> 00:13:26,160
really suck at it and run into stuff and

375
00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:27,440
hit myself

376
00:13:31,750 --> 00:13:30,160
into things and and that wasn't good but

377
00:13:33,509 --> 00:13:31,760
then i'd get better

378
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:33,519
and then i try something more or i try

379
00:13:40,230 --> 00:13:36,480
going faster and it was like this cycle

380
00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:40,240
so now i i'm doing pretty good but uh it

381
00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:42,800
was it was a long and bumpy road and

382
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:44,240
don't ask peggy how many things that

383
00:13:48,629 --> 00:13:46,320
knocked off the wall

384
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:48,639
oh i mean we talked a little bit earlier

385
00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:50,240
so you got peggy whitson up there the

386
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:52,880
space ninja as you like to call her i

387
00:13:55,350 --> 00:13:53,839
mean

388
00:13:56,629 --> 00:13:55,360
are there any crazy moves that you've

389
00:14:01,990 --> 00:13:56,639
broken out that she's looked at you and

390
00:14:06,629 --> 00:14:04,870
my gosh so many times she has a patented

391
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:06,639
look it's the

392
00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:10,160
two fish you are crazy look and i've i i

393
00:14:14,389 --> 00:14:12,000
pretty much got that down when i get the

394
00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:14,399
peggy wits and two fish your crazy look

395
00:14:19,509 --> 00:14:16,480
then i know okay

396
00:14:22,069 --> 00:14:19,519
that one i that one i gotta stop

397
00:14:23,590 --> 00:14:22,079
so i mean what have you learned i mean

398
00:14:25,269 --> 00:14:23,600
now you've been in space with peggy

399
00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:25,279
whitson for this long what have you

400
00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:27,279
learned from her that you sort of uh

401
00:14:31,110 --> 00:14:29,279
take with you and then you know i guess

402
00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:31,120
kind of off of that what have you

403
00:14:39,430 --> 00:14:33,360
learned that uh really sort of annoys

404
00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:40,870
well

405
00:14:45,590 --> 00:14:43,680
we we we're like two peas in a pod we we

406
00:14:48,310 --> 00:14:45,600
give each other a hard time all the time

407
00:14:51,350 --> 00:14:48,320
so uh we tease each other a bunch we

408
00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:51,360
have a good time but i'm very

409
00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:53,600
i i just can't even say how lucky i am

410
00:14:58,629 --> 00:14:56,480
to have been on orbit with not only

411
00:15:01,110 --> 00:14:58,639
peggy but also fiona yurchikhin my

412
00:15:02,389 --> 00:15:01,120
commander and and and friend in the in

413
00:15:04,949 --> 00:15:02,399
the soyuz and the commander of the

414
00:15:07,430 --> 00:15:04,959
station now those two have so much

415
00:15:09,829 --> 00:15:07,440
experience that i learn

416
00:15:10,629 --> 00:15:09,839
everything from them they you know not

417
00:15:13,509 --> 00:15:10,639
just

418
00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:13,519
the big stuff of how to organize your

419
00:15:17,670 --> 00:15:15,360
day and how to be efficient and those

420
00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:17,680
type of things but even the little stuff

421
00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:20,160
and i i every time they're around my

422
00:15:26,069 --> 00:15:23,680
eyes are wide open you know how is peggy

423
00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:26,079
cutting her food packet because it's

424
00:15:30,790 --> 00:15:28,480
probably the best way because she's done

425
00:15:32,710 --> 00:15:30,800
it quite a few times so

426
00:15:35,590 --> 00:15:32,720
you know how is fyodor holding his

427
00:15:37,910 --> 00:15:35,600
camera what what settings is he using

428
00:15:40,790 --> 00:15:37,920
for this task it it's

429
00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:40,800
to just watch them and just soak that in

430
00:15:44,949 --> 00:15:42,720
gosh i am so lucky to have been up here

431
00:15:48,230 --> 00:15:44,959
with these two and just

432
00:15:50,230 --> 00:15:48,240
soak in all their goodness and knowledge

433
00:15:51,990 --> 00:15:50,240
and you you've been working side by side

434
00:15:53,509 --> 00:15:52,000
with them for the last couple of months

435
00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:53,519
just walk us through real quick what's

436
00:15:56,470 --> 00:15:54,880
just you know some of the stuff you're

437
00:15:58,710 --> 00:15:56,480
doing up there because it's a lot more

438
00:16:00,629 --> 00:15:58,720
than just flying and stuff like that

439
00:16:03,910 --> 00:16:00,639
you're doing you know serious experiment

440
00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:06,870
oh absolutely the the space station is

441
00:16:10,389 --> 00:16:09,120
just the most amazing world-class

442
00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:10,399
laboratory

443
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:13,040
floating around doing science all day

444
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:15,360
every day we're doing science inside

445
00:16:20,629 --> 00:16:17,519
we're doing science outside let me turn

446
00:16:25,030 --> 00:16:22,790
i gotta we're getting an echo so i don't

447
00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:25,040
want you to hear me twice that's way too

448
00:16:29,110 --> 00:16:25,839
much

449
00:16:32,069 --> 00:16:29,120
so the the space station for example

450
00:16:35,269 --> 00:16:32,079
when spacex 11 came up it had six tons

451
00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:35,279
of science mostly science on board that

452
00:16:40,150 --> 00:16:37,920
then we had to bring on board knock out

453
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:40,160
that science get it back on the spacex

454
00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:42,720
and back to earth that's the job of this

455
00:16:48,710 --> 00:16:46,079
place is just rocking the science uh

456
00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:48,720
we're doing not only stuff for human

457
00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:51,920
health and and those type of sciences

458
00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:54,000
there was a great experiment that

459
00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:56,320
peggy was working on the other day with

460
00:17:01,110 --> 00:16:59,199
a new drug that actually finds targets

461
00:17:02,550 --> 00:17:01,120
uh cancer cells we're growing lung

462
00:17:05,510 --> 00:17:02,560
cancer tissue

463
00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:05,520
and it was doing some great work against

464
00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:08,160
the cancer how cool would that be if we

465
00:17:12,549 --> 00:17:10,480
could crack the code of that horrible

466
00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:12,559
disease that you know even my daughter

467
00:17:17,990 --> 00:17:15,360
uh phil pray to so

468
00:17:21,510 --> 00:17:18,000
not just those we're we're looking

469
00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:21,520
just 10 feet from me is a machine called

470
00:17:26,630 --> 00:17:24,400
the elf that's looking at new ways to

471
00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:26,640
create alloys that are lighter that are

472
00:17:30,070 --> 00:17:27,760
stronger

473
00:17:33,830 --> 00:17:30,080
i mean this whole place every square

474
00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:33,840
inch is dedicated to either pure science

475
00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:35,520
or the systems

476
00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:37,360
that are going to keep us

477
00:17:41,430 --> 00:17:38,880
and those science

478
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:41,440
experiments cranking away and getting

479
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:44,240
great results back to earth to to help

480
00:17:49,590 --> 00:17:47,200
humanity to make humanity better and to

481
00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:49,600
enable us to explore and go further into

482
00:17:53,669 --> 00:17:51,280
the universe

483
00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:53,679
that sounds incredible um i'm sure i

484
00:17:57,830 --> 00:17:55,600
mean besides all the science you have a

485
00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:57,840
lot of uh i guess i don't know about a

486
00:18:00,630 --> 00:17:59,200
lot of chances but you do have the

487
00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:00,640
chance to sort of look out the window

488
00:18:05,909 --> 00:18:03,200
and see the earth go by so we do have a

489
00:18:07,830 --> 00:18:05,919
facebook question from uh with saul how

490
00:18:09,190 --> 00:18:07,840
do we look from orbit i don't know if

491
00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:09,200
you're whenever you're taking pictures

492
00:18:12,549 --> 00:18:10,320
of the earth i don't know if you can

493
00:18:14,870 --> 00:18:12,559
zoom down and actually get so close that

494
00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:14,880
you can start to see people or are you

495
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:20,630
well we're pretty far up if we had a

496
00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:21,760
bigger

497
00:18:25,909 --> 00:18:23,919
you know lens we could probably see it

498
00:18:27,029 --> 00:18:25,919
but the bigger the lens the smoother you

499
00:18:29,029 --> 00:18:27,039
have to be

500
00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:29,039
fyodor could probably do it i can't do

501
00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:30,720
it so the biggest

502
00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:32,559
that i've been using is an 800

503
00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:35,840
millimeter lens and we can get about two

504
00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:40,160
houses and see houses so that's about as

505
00:18:45,270 --> 00:18:42,960
fine detail is what we can see so we're

506
00:18:46,210 --> 00:18:45,280
not looking in your window and spying on

507
00:18:47,590 --> 00:18:46,220
you i promise

508
00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:47,600
[Laughter]

509
00:18:51,029 --> 00:18:49,200
well that's good to know but i'm sure i

510
00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:51,039
mean you see you're traveling so fast

511
00:18:55,510 --> 00:18:53,280
around the earth you get to see so much

512
00:18:57,350 --> 00:18:55,520
of it is there any sort of places on

513
00:18:59,750 --> 00:18:57,360
earth that really stand out to you that

514
00:19:01,430 --> 00:18:59,760
you really like to either gaze at or

515
00:19:06,150 --> 00:19:01,440
kind of take pictures of because you see

516
00:19:09,350 --> 00:19:08,390
you bet there are places that you know

517
00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:09,360
kind of

518
00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:11,760
blew me away for sure the first time i

519
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:14,080
saw him the bahamas are just the blue is

520
00:19:19,590 --> 00:19:16,799
just ridiculous i don't even know

521
00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:19,600
it's hard to believe it's real uh one of

522
00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:22,080
fyodor's favorite places is kamchatka

523
00:19:26,549 --> 00:19:24,640
which is kind of a little flange off the

524
00:19:28,789 --> 00:19:26,559
top end of russian there's all these

525
00:19:30,230 --> 00:19:28,799
great volcanoes that are just incredible

526
00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:30,240
looking

527
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:33,360
so there's a lot of places that are

528
00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:35,520
wonderful but what i've

529
00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:37,360
really tried to do and it's probably why

530
00:19:42,710 --> 00:19:40,000
i don't have pictures of specific places

531
00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:42,720
like my hometown in colorado lewisville

532
00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:43,520
or

533
00:19:49,669 --> 00:19:48,320
i kind of go to the window and let god

534
00:19:52,230 --> 00:19:49,679
show me what

535
00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:52,240
show me the tour and i've never been

536
00:19:56,950 --> 00:19:54,400
disappointed um

537
00:19:58,870 --> 00:19:56,960
you could be flying over the sahara and

538
00:20:01,750 --> 00:19:58,880
you'll see these

539
00:20:04,950 --> 00:20:01,760
bright reds and you know a mountain

540
00:20:07,029 --> 00:20:04,960
right next to sand or a sandstorm and

541
00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:07,039
then you'll be in the himalayas and

542
00:20:10,549 --> 00:20:08,799
you'll see these incredible mountains

543
00:20:13,029 --> 00:20:10,559
every time i look out the window i'm

544
00:20:13,990 --> 00:20:13,039
just in odd how beautiful the earth is

545
00:20:16,310 --> 00:20:14,000
so

546
00:20:17,830 --> 00:20:16,320
my favorite place

547
00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:17,840
earth

548
00:20:21,190 --> 00:20:19,840
oh good answer

549
00:20:23,110 --> 00:20:21,200
all right well

550
00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:23,120
your your acrobatics are making a lot of

551
00:20:25,909 --> 00:20:24,400
people jealous and we're actually

552
00:20:27,750 --> 00:20:25,919
getting a lot of questions about how to

553
00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:27,760
become an astronaut so i want to switch

554
00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:30,159
gears real quick so we've had a lot of

555
00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:31,520
news a lot of stuff out there we just

556
00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:34,000
hired a new group of astronauts or new

557
00:20:37,350 --> 00:20:35,280
astronaut candidates that are going to

558
00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:37,360
be reporting soon and one of my favorite

559
00:20:40,549 --> 00:20:38,880
things to talk to them about was when

560
00:20:41,510 --> 00:20:40,559
they got the call when they got the call

561
00:20:43,190 --> 00:20:41,520
that they were going to come be an

562
00:20:45,350 --> 00:20:43,200
astronaut but i don't know if you

563
00:20:47,110 --> 00:20:45,360
remember but i was actually with you

564
00:20:48,870 --> 00:20:47,120
shortly after you got the call that you

565
00:20:51,190 --> 00:20:48,880
were got you had gotten assigned to a

566
00:20:53,029 --> 00:20:51,200
mission so i have to ask which one was

567
00:20:55,190 --> 00:20:53,039
more exciting you're going to be an

568
00:20:59,029 --> 00:20:55,200
astronaut or hey it's time to go fly in

569
00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:01,510
boy that's tough probably that you're

570
00:21:04,710 --> 00:21:03,280
gonna be an astronaut

571
00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:04,720
um

572
00:21:10,710 --> 00:21:06,880
not not because you take it for granted

573
00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:10,720
that you'll fly but it's just

574
00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:12,320
once you're an astronaut

575
00:21:15,110 --> 00:21:13,840
you got a real good chance that you're

576
00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:15,120
gonna fly

577
00:21:19,990 --> 00:21:17,520
um before that and to become an

578
00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:20,000
astronaut you know when people ask how

579
00:21:23,830 --> 00:21:22,000
do you become an astronaut well

580
00:21:25,590 --> 00:21:23,840
i'll give you the advice that that my

581
00:21:27,909 --> 00:21:25,600
dad gave me you know

582
00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:27,919
dare to dream so

583
00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:30,960
only you can define your own dream to

584
00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:34,000
find your passion the thing that really

585
00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:36,960
makes you go because once you find that

586
00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:38,880
you're gonna work hard at it

587
00:21:43,029 --> 00:21:41,120
and that's what the dare part is

588
00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:43,039
nobody's gonna give it to you you gotta

589
00:21:48,549 --> 00:21:45,200
work really hard

590
00:21:49,830 --> 00:21:48,559
to make that passion and that dream

591
00:21:51,110 --> 00:21:49,840
a reality

592
00:21:53,669 --> 00:21:51,120
but then

593
00:21:55,669 --> 00:21:53,679
there's one more part of it and to

594
00:21:58,710 --> 00:21:55,679
become an astronaut one of the biggest

595
00:22:02,549 --> 00:21:58,720
parts of it is just sheer luck

596
00:22:04,789 --> 00:22:02,559
timing and i am just lucky there are

597
00:22:07,270 --> 00:22:04,799
tons of people more qualified than me

598
00:22:09,430 --> 00:22:07,280
that are better than me in every single

599
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:09,440
way but maybe

600
00:22:13,909 --> 00:22:11,840
that round of interviews they didn't

601
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:13,919
apply or they weren't in the right place

602
00:22:19,190 --> 00:22:17,120
in their life uh that they could apply i

603
00:22:21,669 --> 00:22:19,200
just got lucky to be in the right place

604
00:22:24,830 --> 00:22:21,679
at the right time

605
00:22:27,350 --> 00:22:24,840
and and be a part of an incredible group

606
00:22:29,190 --> 00:22:27,360
so my advice for people who want to

607
00:22:31,190 --> 00:22:29,200
become an astronaut

608
00:22:33,590 --> 00:22:31,200
find your passion so that you never work

609
00:22:35,110 --> 00:22:33,600
a day in your life work really hard at

610
00:22:36,630 --> 00:22:35,120
it and then

611
00:22:39,350 --> 00:22:36,640
even if it doesn't work out because you

612
00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:39,360
weren't lucky at the right time to be

613
00:22:43,350 --> 00:22:41,280
selected as an astronaut you're still

614
00:22:45,669 --> 00:22:43,360
doing what you love and you're making a

615
00:22:46,870 --> 00:22:45,679
big difference on this planet

616
00:22:48,710 --> 00:22:46,880
well jack i don't think you give

617
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:48,720
yourself enough credit i think like

618
00:22:53,669 --> 00:22:50,880
you're an extremely hard worker and your

619
00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:53,679
passion is definitely reflected uh on

620
00:22:58,230 --> 00:22:55,679
everything that you do and especially us

621
00:23:00,149 --> 00:22:58,240
we really enjoy watching you on orbit um

622
00:23:01,830 --> 00:23:00,159
but you know for for folks who want to

623
00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:01,840
become an astronaut you can actually

624
00:23:05,909 --> 00:23:04,000
give them a sense of sort of what that

625
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:05,919
feels like and i know there's a lot of

626
00:23:08,470 --> 00:23:07,360
you know there's a lot of hard work and

627
00:23:10,950 --> 00:23:08,480
a lot of different things you have to

628
00:23:13,190 --> 00:23:10,960
learn but there's also that element that

629
00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:13,200
human element of being in space of

630
00:23:18,070 --> 00:23:15,600
living in space so i have a question uh

631
00:23:19,990 --> 00:23:18,080
just about do you feel do you ever feel

632
00:23:21,830 --> 00:23:20,000
isolated do you ever feel away from

633
00:23:23,029 --> 00:23:21,840
things or are you sort of connected and

634
00:23:25,590 --> 00:23:23,039
then i have another question from

635
00:23:27,990 --> 00:23:25,600
facebook from kay asking uh if you have

636
00:23:31,110 --> 00:23:28,000
insomnia in space they're two sort of

637
00:23:35,830 --> 00:23:31,120
related questions not really but uh uh

638
00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:37,430
okay i'm gonna have to flip mid question

639
00:23:40,870 --> 00:23:38,960
because that's really two questions yeah

640
00:23:43,110 --> 00:23:40,880
so i'll do the first one quickly the

641
00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:43,120
insomnia one some people have a hard

642
00:23:48,310 --> 00:23:46,640
time sleeping in space i don't my back

643
00:23:50,070 --> 00:23:48,320
usually kind of hurts on the ground

644
00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:50,080
because i've been flying fighters for

645
00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:53,600
too long uh but up here i feel great so

646
00:23:57,909 --> 00:23:55,760
it's like sleeping on an air bed because

647
00:24:00,230 --> 00:23:57,919
well i'm floating on air so that's

648
00:24:01,110 --> 00:24:00,240
awesome okay now i gotta flip

649
00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:01,120
uh

650
00:24:06,470 --> 00:24:04,480
isolated you do feel a bit

651
00:24:09,350 --> 00:24:06,480
not because there's not connectivity

652
00:24:11,269 --> 00:24:09,360
with the ground um we can call via an

653
00:24:13,990 --> 00:24:11,279
internet protocol phone

654
00:24:16,230 --> 00:24:14,000
as well as video chat sometimes and then

655
00:24:17,430 --> 00:24:16,240
we're in constant communication with the

656
00:24:20,149 --> 00:24:17,440
ground

657
00:24:23,510 --> 00:24:20,159
all throughout the day as far as feeling

658
00:24:25,669 --> 00:24:23,520
isolated sometimes you feel because

659
00:24:28,310 --> 00:24:25,679
everything you're doing is being watched

660
00:24:30,310 --> 00:24:28,320
and i'm not talking about a podcast or

661
00:24:31,350 --> 00:24:30,320
posting on twitter or any of those type

662
00:24:34,870 --> 00:24:31,360
of things

663
00:24:37,110 --> 00:24:34,880
everything we do as we're doing science

664
00:24:39,830 --> 00:24:37,120
and as we're doing activities is being

665
00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:39,840
watched by the control centers worldwide

666
00:24:43,350 --> 00:24:42,240
that are keeping this place running and

667
00:24:45,510 --> 00:24:43,360
so

668
00:24:47,510 --> 00:24:45,520
you can kind of feel like my gosh

669
00:24:50,549 --> 00:24:47,520
because you're gonna make mistakes you

670
00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:50,559
can't go for six months doing you know

671
00:24:54,950 --> 00:24:52,960
12 hours a day and not make mistakes

672
00:24:56,789 --> 00:24:54,960
you're gonna make mistakes

673
00:24:58,470 --> 00:24:56,799
and sometimes you feel like man

674
00:25:01,029 --> 00:24:58,480
everybody is seeing everything that i'm

675
00:25:03,510 --> 00:25:01,039
doing wrong like you have a bad day

676
00:25:06,149 --> 00:25:03,520
that's when i break into my emergency

677
00:25:08,630 --> 00:25:06,159
coffee store and uh and get another

678
00:25:11,990 --> 00:25:08,640
coffee pouch out so i can have some

679
00:25:13,830 --> 00:25:12,000
coffee and then things get better

680
00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:13,840
all right we only got a couple of

681
00:25:16,870 --> 00:25:15,440
minutes left so it's it's time to get

682
00:25:19,190 --> 00:25:16,880
into some of the deep stuff some of the

683
00:25:21,830 --> 00:25:19,200
deep cuts here so you've been up there

684
00:25:24,390 --> 00:25:21,840
for a couple of months has just your

685
00:25:26,630 --> 00:25:24,400
perspective about everything about life

686
00:25:28,470 --> 00:25:26,640
on earth about you know life in general

687
00:25:30,470 --> 00:25:28,480
about your job about all that has been

688
00:25:35,350 --> 00:25:30,480
in space change that like do you have

689
00:25:39,909 --> 00:25:38,070
you know you do because you get to see

690
00:25:42,630 --> 00:25:39,919
the world in this totally different

691
00:25:44,390 --> 00:25:42,640
light this world without borders you

692
00:25:46,390 --> 00:25:44,400
know one shared experience for everybody

693
00:25:49,350 --> 00:25:46,400
in the the beauty and the

694
00:25:52,630 --> 00:25:49,360
just that thin blue line that that is so

695
00:25:54,870 --> 00:25:52,640
frail that holds all life you just

696
00:25:57,590 --> 00:25:54,880
your perspective has to grow and adapt

697
00:25:59,750 --> 00:25:57,600
and change to that but like i mentioned

698
00:26:02,070 --> 00:25:59,760
earlier how quickly your brain

699
00:26:04,789 --> 00:26:02,080
adapts and grows i think that

700
00:26:05,990 --> 00:26:04,799
perspective helps you grow as well and

701
00:26:08,630 --> 00:26:06,000
that's why

702
00:26:10,950 --> 00:26:08,640
after this experience

703
00:26:13,830 --> 00:26:10,960
yes my perspective has changed but it it

704
00:26:15,350 --> 00:26:13,840
has really inspired me to try

705
00:26:22,149 --> 00:26:15,360
to get

706
00:26:24,710 --> 00:26:22,159
permanent foothold in the stars for for

707
00:26:28,870 --> 00:26:24,720
our species i think we're on the verge

708
00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:28,880
of that and with orion and sls our new

709
00:26:33,269 --> 00:26:30,480
huge rocket

710
00:26:35,590 --> 00:26:33,279
we're taking steps towards that as well

711
00:26:37,269 --> 00:26:35,600
as a commercial industry a burgeoning

712
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:37,279
commercial industry that's building the

713
00:26:40,549 --> 00:26:38,400
infrastructure

714
00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:40,559
for us to press further into the galaxy

715
00:26:44,710 --> 00:26:41,360
so

716
00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:44,720
i i'm my perspective change is that i

717
00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:47,600
want to do everything i possibly can to

718
00:26:52,549 --> 00:26:48,799
help

719
00:26:55,510 --> 00:26:52,559
the human species humanity as a whole go

720
00:26:56,950 --> 00:26:55,520
further and grow and evolve like i know

721
00:26:59,110 --> 00:26:56,960
they're capable of

722
00:27:01,430 --> 00:26:59,120
amazing that's it's just such an

723
00:27:02,950 --> 00:27:01,440
incredible perspective i mean just i

724
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:02,960
mean looking down and you know just

725
00:27:07,029 --> 00:27:04,799
realizing kind of what we can accomplish

726
00:27:09,029 --> 00:27:07,039
it's it's kind of amazing but

727
00:27:11,909 --> 00:27:09,039
i guess from there do you ever do you

728
00:27:14,390 --> 00:27:11,919
ever sort of miss earth or uh maybe even

729
00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:14,400
i guess here's a question from geraldine

730
00:27:22,389 --> 00:27:20,470
oh sometimes

731
00:27:25,909 --> 00:27:22,399
the other day i was doing a

732
00:27:27,830 --> 00:27:25,919
task and and my wrench like pops off the

733
00:27:30,149 --> 00:27:27,840
bolt and it goes

734
00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:30,159
flying off and i'm like oh no big deal

735
00:27:34,870 --> 00:27:32,080
to hit the wall come back to me and i

736
00:27:37,830 --> 00:27:34,880
look over and there's this gap above the

737
00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:37,840
rack and it's like it's like an inch

738
00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:40,000
and that wrench decided oh i'm gonna

739
00:27:44,789 --> 00:27:42,320
turn so i'm perfectly in line with that

740
00:27:47,510 --> 00:27:44,799
gap and it went floating inside and then

741
00:27:49,510 --> 00:27:47,520
it was behind the rack and lost forever

742
00:27:51,750 --> 00:27:49,520
probably in like two years somebody's

743
00:27:53,269 --> 00:27:51,760
gonna be cleaning an air vent and go oh

744
00:27:55,029 --> 00:27:53,279
hey look a wrench i wonder where that

745
00:27:57,029 --> 00:27:55,039
came from so

746
00:27:58,389 --> 00:27:57,039
there are sometimes you really miss

747
00:28:03,350 --> 00:27:58,399
gravity but

748
00:28:04,870 --> 00:28:03,360
about 99.9 of the time you don't

749
00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:04,880
all right well i mean first off i just

750
00:28:08,149 --> 00:28:06,799
want to say i fully support your new

751
00:28:09,909 --> 00:28:08,159
perspective because i want to go to

752
00:28:11,269 --> 00:28:09,919
space so jack do everything you can to

753
00:28:12,470 --> 00:28:11,279
get me up there

754
00:28:14,070 --> 00:28:12,480
um

755
00:28:15,190 --> 00:28:14,080
so you're getting close to coming home

756
00:28:17,350 --> 00:28:15,200
you're coming home the beginning of

757
00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:17,360
september is there anything left on the

758
00:28:20,310 --> 00:28:18,640
list that you want to do while you're up

759
00:28:24,549 --> 00:28:20,320
there is there like a space bucket list

760
00:28:28,870 --> 00:28:26,789
there is and there's it's such a huge

761
00:28:30,630 --> 00:28:28,880
list you can kind of get overwhelmed by

762
00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:30,640
it you know i want to picture this or

763
00:28:33,909 --> 00:28:31,760
that or

764
00:28:36,710 --> 00:28:33,919
you know

765
00:28:38,149 --> 00:28:36,720
i i i made a list and i said i'm not

766
00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:38,159
going to add anything else to it so i'm

767
00:28:43,350 --> 00:28:40,720
almost through it uh as far as the stuff

768
00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:43,360

and then i'm going to take all my spare

771
00:28:52,950 --> 00:28:49,360
time

772
00:28:55,669 --> 00:28:52,960
and and just go down and grab a window

773
00:28:58,470 --> 00:28:55,679
or whatever and sit there and soak it up

774
00:29:01,110 --> 00:28:58,480
and just enjoy it and and and take a

775
00:29:02,549 --> 00:29:01,120
mental image so that i can fuel that

776
00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:02,559
passion and

777
00:29:08,070 --> 00:29:05,520
when i come back to try to talk to

780
00:29:15,510 --> 00:29:13,279
of passion inside me because i i just

scenes with the people that make human

878
00:32:51,110 --> 00:32:49,519
space flight happen that's where you get

879
00:32:53,269 --> 00:32:51,120
it you get the deep dives you get the

880
00:32:55,110 --> 00:32:53,279

889
00:33:15,590 --> 00:33:13,919
also got to talk to shane kimbrough like

890
00:33:17,110 --> 00:33:15,600
two days after he landed and he gave

00:33:18,789 --> 00:33:17,120
that whole experience but then we talk

892
00:33:20,630 --> 00:33:18,799
