the event

4
00:00:15,589 --> 00:00:13,440
pine river bacca schools this is mission

5
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:15,599
control houston please call station for

6
00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:20,550
marcus

7
00:00:27,109 --> 00:00:23,279
a student at pine river school how do

8
00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:30,950
i hear you loud and clear

9
00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:33,040
my name is emma we want to welcome you

10
00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:35,280
flight engineer vanda high to prb

11
00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:37,360
schools we have senator icorn and

12
00:00:41,910 --> 00:00:39,600
representative layman here as well we're

13
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:41,920
all so excited to talk to you today this

14
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:43,440
is such a huge honor to be a part of

15
00:00:47,350 --> 00:00:45,680
your first downlink our first question

16
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:47,360
is how did your experiences in the

17
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:49,440
military help prepare you for being an

18
00:00:58,709 --> 00:00:56,869
well there's a very direct correlation

19
00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:58,719
between the military and being able to

20
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:00,719
fly in space for me

21
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:04,000
because uh being in the military is all

22
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:05,040
about

23
00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:07,680
taking care of the people on your team

24
00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:09,920
and up here in space

25
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:11,600
i'm on a team of six people that's

26
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:13,760
separated from the rest of humanity

27
00:01:17,350 --> 00:01:15,280
so that ability to take care of

28
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:17,360
ourselves in extreme environments and to

29
00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:19,040
take care of other people

30
00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:25,830
hi my name is abilene what does the

31
00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:27,680
gravitational force feel like as you

32
00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:34,310
what does gravitational force feel like

33
00:01:38,469 --> 00:01:36,400
as we launch so

34
00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:38,479
during the launch on the spacecraft we

35
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:41,280
used the g-forces that's what we call

36
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:43,040
the uh

37
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:46,320
the multiple the multiplication factor

38
00:01:51,109 --> 00:01:49,600
of uh a normal force from gravity

39
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:51,119
it's really the acceleration we

40
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:52,720
experience

41
00:01:57,830 --> 00:01:55,759
that was uh at most about three times i

42
00:02:00,310 --> 00:01:57,840
believe what we normally feel but

43
00:02:02,149 --> 00:02:00,320
because we are laying on our backs

44
00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:02,159
while we were launched it just felt like

45
00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:03,840
we were being shoved harder into the

46
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:04,719
seat

47
00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:06,640
um it really wasn't that bad though it

48
00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:12,630
hi my name is kyla do you get scared and

49
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,750
i'm sorry could you say that again

50
00:02:26,790 --> 00:02:25,030
[Music]

51
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:26,800
the question was

52
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:28,160
do you get

53
00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:32,080
scared and sometimes think omg i'm in

54
00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:38,470
so yes i definitely have a lot of wow

55
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:41,120
moments um

56
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:43,680
honestly i'm realizing that our ability

57
00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:45,040
to walk

58
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:47,519
is hugely dependent on gravity

59
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:48,640
and the first

60
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:50,800
two to three days actually even now i'm

61
00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:52,720
still learning about how to move around

62
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:55,040
it's like learn to walk again

63
00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:57,120
the fact that i can float

64
00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:58,800
makes it really easy to move but it's

65
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:01,200
also very easy to float past the place i

66
00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:03,440
want to be or for example like if i want

67
00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:04,640
to stay right here and wasn't paying

68
00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:06,480
attention it's really easy for me to

69
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:08,400
just float up and away from where i want

70
00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:19,270
hi my name is elena what kind of

71
00:03:26,309 --> 00:03:21,680
research i expand

72
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:28,149
there are that's a great question there

73
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:30,000
are hundreds of experiments we're doing

74
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:31,280
in space

75
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:33,760
one that i can highlight is a experiment

76
00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:35,200
we did

77
00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:37,920
growing lung tissue in space

78
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:40,319
we our hope is that that lung tissue

79
00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:43,200
will be able to help fight cancer

80
00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:46,319
and we just returned that to earth a

81
00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:50,710
to

82
00:04:01,990 --> 00:04:00,470
hi my name is river how often do you get

83
00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:02,000
to speak to your family and friends

84
00:04:07,830 --> 00:04:03,840
while aboard the international space

85
00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:09,750
i try to talk to my wife about every two

86
00:04:13,509 --> 00:04:12,159
days yesterday was the first time i got

87
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:13,519
to talk to my

88
00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:15,360
children and my wife and it was fun

89
00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:17,440
because i got to take them on a tour

90
00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:19,919
around the space station

91
00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:22,479
but fairly frequently we have a phone up

92
00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:25,199
here so i'm able to make phone calls the

93
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:28,000
only difficulty is sometimes the

94
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:29,840
satellite coverage isn't that good and

95
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:30,800
we lose

96
00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:32,960
coverage momentarily so it's not quite

97
00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:34,639
as convenient as being on the ground but

98
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:41,830
hi my name is cameron do you think

99
00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:49,830
i definitely think as long as we can

100
00:04:55,189 --> 00:04:50,960
maintain

101
00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:55,199
peace and progress as a as a species

102
00:04:59,510 --> 00:04:56,960
we will be able to get people on mars

103
00:05:00,790 --> 00:04:59,520
it's it's definitely a possible thing we

104
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:00,800
just got to work hard to get there and

105
00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:02,479
there's lots of things for us to learn

106
00:05:11,029 --> 00:05:08,629
hi my name is grady has a meteor ever

107
00:05:15,909 --> 00:05:11,039
hit the space station if so what has

108
00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:18,310
actually in a way yes we've got what we

109
00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:20,560
call micro meteoroids

110
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:22,560
and there are places on the outside of

111
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:24,400
the space station where they it's you

112
00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:25,919
can see evidence

113
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:29,039
of those micro meteoroid strikes

114
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:29,840
um

115
00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:31,759
we haven't had one big enough that we've

116
00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:33,680
had to uh

117
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:35,280
had a leak into the space station

118
00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:36,880
because the space station was designed

119
00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:39,120
with that in mind and what we have to do

120
00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:40,639
though is make sure that when people do

121
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:42,800
space walks if there's a sharp edge as a

122
00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:44,080
result of that

123
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:45,919
that people are aware of it or we've

124
00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:51,749
hi my name is hannah mentally how do you

125
00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:53,280
prepare yourself for the hazards and

126
00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:01,110
well i think the most important thing

127
00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:03,280
about preparing to go to space is the

128
00:06:07,189 --> 00:06:05,520
training that we receive

129
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:07,199
for example when we launched out of

130
00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:08,160
russia

131
00:06:11,749 --> 00:06:10,080
prior to launching out of kazakhstan

132
00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:11,759
excuse me

133
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:14,000
we trained in russia for

134
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:15,440
several years

135
00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:17,120
and the simulations they put us through

136
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:19,440
in russia were very challenging

137
00:06:22,629 --> 00:06:21,680
to the point where it almost surprised

138
00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:22,639
me

139
00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:23,680
that

140
00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:25,120
everything went

141
00:06:29,909 --> 00:06:27,680
normally there was no

142
00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:29,919
malfunctions to deal with during our

143
00:06:33,670 --> 00:06:32,080
entire trip from the earth to the space

144
00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:33,680
station so

145
00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:35,840
and i expected that to be the case

146
00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:37,840
but because of the training we felt like

147
00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:39,280
we were ready for anything that could

148
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:40,720
possibly go wrong

149
00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:47,749
hi

150
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:49,680
my name is kinsley

151
00:06:54,150 --> 00:06:51,840
how do you complete daily tasks while

152
00:06:58,070 --> 00:06:54,160
living and working in a microgravity

153
00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:00,830
it's uh it takes some getting used to

154
00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:04,080
so uh first of all we have a team of

155
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:05,680
people on the ground that keep the space

156
00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:08,240
station running and one person's job of

157
00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:09,759
several people's job

158
00:07:13,189 --> 00:07:11,759
is to make the plan for what tasks we

159
00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:13,199
have to do

160
00:07:15,909 --> 00:07:14,560
but i think what you're really wondering

161
00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:15,919
about is how do you do this stuff in

162
00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:17,759
space it's really about

163
00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:19,680
finding a place to secure yourself for

164
00:07:21,909 --> 00:07:20,800
example

165
00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:21,919
i could

166
00:07:26,230 --> 00:07:24,880
want to work on this wall to my right

167
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:26,240
and

168
00:07:34,390 --> 00:07:31,360
i could

169
00:07:37,189 --> 00:07:34,400
put my feet in that same place

170
00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:37,199
and hold on to something with my feet

171
00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:39,039
and then i have both of my hands free to

172
00:07:42,790 --> 00:07:41,280
do something with

173
00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:42,800
so you have to find some part of your

174
00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:44,639
body to connect yourself to a surface so

175
00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:51,830
hi my name is emma what advice do you

176
00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:53,440
have for student who wants to become an

177
00:08:01,430 --> 00:07:59,430
i would say do find what you love to do

178
00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:01,440
and then find a way to do it

179
00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:04,400
um i really believe that astronauts are

180
00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:05,440
people

181
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:08,400
that nasa found who were being very very

182
00:08:13,670 --> 00:08:10,400
successful at what they did in a wide

183
00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:13,680
variety of technical fields

184
00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:14,560
and

185
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:16,000
because they loved what they were doing

186
00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:18,160
they were very successful at it so

187
00:08:21,749 --> 00:08:20,479
again i think it's a very personal thing

188
00:08:23,589 --> 00:08:21,759
and the other

189
00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:23,599
crucial piece is the chances of becoming

190
00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:26,400
an astronaut are very small so it's

191
00:08:29,589 --> 00:08:28,319
important that you're doing something

192
00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:29,599
you love

193
00:08:34,310 --> 00:08:32,159
and enjoy the path regardless of whether

194
00:08:38,389 --> 00:08:34,320
or not it results in you becoming an

195
00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:42,230
hi my name is andrew if it were possible

196
00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:44,959
to visit any planet which one would you

197
00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:51,590
well my favorite planet is certainly the

198
00:08:57,190 --> 00:08:54,720
earth because uh it's we are custom

199
00:08:59,190 --> 00:08:57,200
built to to live on the earth

200
00:09:01,910 --> 00:08:59,200
um i

201
00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:01,920
i would say mars it would be

202
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:04,399
it's certainly a planet we already

203
00:09:08,070 --> 00:09:05,760
intended to get to we're working on

204
00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:08,080
spacecraft to get there but i think the

205
00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:11,120
idea of traveling that far away and

206
00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:12,720
learning about what it takes to live in

207
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:13,920
another place

208
00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:17,200
that's uh that isn't as hospitable to

209
00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:18,880
life as the earth would be extremely

210
00:09:29,910 --> 00:09:25,030
my name is abby what happens if you get

211
00:09:32,870 --> 00:09:30,630
so

212
00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:32,880
fortu we don't always have a doctor on

213
00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:35,120
the crew but in our crew of six

214
00:09:37,509 --> 00:09:36,560
one of the crew members is actually a

215
00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:37,519
doctor

216
00:09:40,310 --> 00:09:39,040
but we've all gotten some medical

217
00:09:45,590 --> 00:09:40,320
training

218
00:09:48,470 --> 00:09:45,600
we also get a lot of help from experts

219
00:09:50,230 --> 00:09:48,480
on the ground so somebody got hurt

220
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:50,240
they would advise us what to do and if

221
00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:52,720
somebody's in really bad shape and we

222
00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:54,880
need to go home early because of that

223
00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:57,120
there's always the spacecraft that we

224
00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:58,399
launched in

225
00:10:02,550 --> 00:10:00,320
docked to the space station that could

226
00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:02,560
serve as a lifeboat to take us home

227
00:10:11,590 --> 00:10:09,590
hi my name is miles being in a different

228
00:10:15,910 --> 00:10:11,600
spot on earth do you have more solar

229
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:18,550
actually no we're very close to the

230
00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:20,160
surface of the earth

231
00:10:24,389 --> 00:10:22,560
and we get eclipses when the earth moon

232
00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:24,399
and sun are aligned

233
00:10:29,430 --> 00:10:25,600
so

234
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:29,440
the earth relatively speaking compared

235
00:10:34,069 --> 00:10:31,760
to the distances between the sun the

236
00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:34,079
moon and the earth we get solar we get

237
00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:36,720
to see solar eclipses the same time as

238
00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:38,800
the earth does but the neat thing for us

239
00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:41,040
is we get to look down from space

240
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:49,110
hi my name is hudson how many miles have

241
00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:56,870
you know that's a great question so i'm

242
00:11:02,230 --> 00:10:59,279
going to ask you guys to figure this out

243
00:11:05,190 --> 00:11:02,240
the space station is traveling around 17

244
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:05,200
700 miles per hour

245
00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:08,000
there's 24 hours in a day

246
00:11:12,550 --> 00:11:11,120
and let's say i got here wednesday so

247
00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:12,560
that's wednesday thursday friday

248
00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:14,880
saturday sunday monday so let's just say

249
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:18,240
six days times 24 hours times 17 700

250
00:11:21,590 --> 00:11:20,320
miles per hour multiply those three

251
00:11:28,150 --> 00:11:21,600
numbers together and you'll get the

252
00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:31,269
hi my name is artie how do you get home

253
00:11:41,110 --> 00:11:38,389
another great question

254
00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:41,120
we use the soyuz spacecraft to get home

255
00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:43,440
it's the same one we launched in

256
00:11:47,910 --> 00:11:46,560
and it's a much it's uh a relatively

257
00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:47,920
short trip

258
00:11:54,310 --> 00:11:51,360
will land on land in kazakhstan

259
00:11:56,550 --> 00:11:54,320
under a parachute after uh

260
00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:56,560
we've slowed the spacecraft down enough

261
00:12:03,670 --> 00:11:59,040
so that it will deorbit and enter the

262
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:05,829
hi my name is matty what made you want

263
00:12:14,629 --> 00:12:12,230
i think the thing that made me want to

264
00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:14,639
become an astronaut was this idea

265
00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:16,399
of pushing the boundaries of what we

266
00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:17,600
understand

267
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:18,480
um

268
00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:20,959
i also like the idea that it's mentally

269
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:22,399
challenging and also physically

270
00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:23,680
challenging

271
00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:25,680
so in many many ways it's appealing to

272
00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:28,480
me i also love the fact that right now

273
00:12:32,069 --> 00:12:30,800
we're working with people from multiple

274
00:12:33,829 --> 00:12:32,079
countries to do this so it's a very

275
00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:33,839
international effort

276
00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:36,560
and i also love the fact that the

277
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:38,560
work we're doing provides some benefit

278
00:12:50,629 --> 00:12:44,870
hi my name is lyndon how long did you

279
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:52,310
in some ways you train to become an

280
00:12:55,509 --> 00:12:54,000
astronaut your entire life based on the

281
00:12:57,269 --> 00:12:55,519
decisions you make

282
00:12:59,430 --> 00:12:57,279
um

283
00:13:01,829 --> 00:12:59,440
but specifically

284
00:13:03,190 --> 00:13:01,839
i got hired as an astronaut candidate in

285
00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:03,200
2009

286
00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:06,480
and now it's 2017 so i would say it took

287
00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:13,110
hi my name is oh

288
00:13:17,509 --> 00:13:14,880
hi my name is tony how has the

289
00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:17,519
microgravity environment affected you

290
00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:24,790
so personally it was it's very very

291
00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:26,399
humbling at first

292
00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:28,480
because if you're the one new guy who's

293
00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:30,079
never done this before

294
00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:31,600
everybody else seems to know how to move

295
00:13:35,269 --> 00:13:32,880
around well and get things done

296
00:13:36,550 --> 00:13:35,279
efficiently and it was really easy for

297
00:13:37,910 --> 00:13:36,560
me to

298
00:13:39,189 --> 00:13:37,920
not pay attention to something for

299
00:13:42,069 --> 00:13:39,199
example if i was working with this

300
00:13:43,509 --> 00:13:42,079
microphone i might set it someplace turn

301
00:13:46,629 --> 00:13:43,519
around

302
00:13:49,189 --> 00:13:46,639
do some work

303
00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:49,199
come back

304
00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:52,240
wouldn't be present

305
00:13:55,030 --> 00:13:53,760
or the tool i was using wouldn't be

306
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:55,040
present so i have to start looking all

307
00:13:58,790 --> 00:13:56,880
over the place to find things

308
00:14:00,550 --> 00:13:58,800
it was very easy for me to bump into

309
00:14:01,590 --> 00:14:00,560
things when i because i'm floating

310
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:01,600
around and i didn't have a lot of

311
00:14:04,629 --> 00:14:02,560
control

312
00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:04,639
and i stay i'm starting to improve a lot

313
00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:06,160
on that it's getting more and more

314
00:14:15,990 --> 00:14:12,230
hi my name is billy what does the moon

315
00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:18,230
the moon looks like

316
00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:19,920
i would say the moon looks the same from

317
00:14:22,150 --> 00:14:21,360
the space station as it does from the

318
00:14:24,710 --> 00:14:22,160
earth

319
00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:24,720
again we're really not that far away uh

320
00:14:29,829 --> 00:14:27,680
one advantage is when the moon is is

321
00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:29,839
visible for us we never have to worry

322
00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:31,440
about clouds being between us and the

323
00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:33,120
moon because they're all between us and

324
00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:39,350
hi my name is brooke how long can you be

325
00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:45,750
well we've had people be in space for

326
00:14:49,509 --> 00:14:47,279
about a year

327
00:14:51,670 --> 00:14:49,519
and uh we really don't know the limit

328
00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:51,680
but we're trying to uh

329
00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:53,199
make sure

330
00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:55,120
that we can find a way to make to have

331
00:15:00,389 --> 00:14:57,600
people be very healthy

332
00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:00,399
so that if we go to another planet

333
00:15:03,509 --> 00:15:02,160
no matter how long that trip takes that

334
00:15:04,949 --> 00:15:03,519
those people will be healthy when they

335
00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:04,959
arrive and they're not going to be met

336
00:15:12,550 --> 00:15:07,600
by doctors they're going to be met by an

337
00:15:15,990 --> 00:15:13,670
hi

338
00:15:20,550 --> 00:15:16,000
can you tell us about the module that

339
00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:22,629
sure this is the u.s lab

340
00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:25,199
it's uh i would call it kind of a

341
00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:27,040
hub for the u.s

342
00:15:30,949 --> 00:15:28,959
segment of the space station

343
00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:30,959
it's got lots of different facilities

344
00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:32,000
there's these things called

345
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:34,399
international

346
00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:37,680
standard payload racks that are located

347
00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:40,160
all over there when we flew the shuttle

348
00:15:43,269 --> 00:15:41,680
to bring things up here we interchanged

349
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:43,279
those a lot

350
00:15:45,829 --> 00:15:44,320
um

351
00:15:47,509 --> 00:15:45,839
but it's

352
00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:47,519
every single surface is covered with

353
00:15:51,590 --> 00:15:49,600
either places to store

354
00:15:53,350 --> 00:15:51,600
equipment we use for experiments or

355
00:15:55,269 --> 00:15:53,360
items we use to control the space

356
00:16:00,790 --> 00:15:55,279
station and keep it running well or

357
00:16:04,629 --> 00:16:02,710
and what advice

358
00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:04,639
do you have for the students in this

359
00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:11,350
i would say uh

360
00:16:17,269 --> 00:16:14,880
try really hard do your best

361
00:16:19,829 --> 00:16:17,279
whatever your best is

362
00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:19,839
but try harder to make sure that other

363
00:16:23,590 --> 00:16:22,399
people are doing their best than that

364
00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:23,600
you look like you're better than

365
00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:25,360
everybody else

366
00:16:28,310 --> 00:16:27,120
it's really important that we do things

367
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:28,320
as a team

368
00:16:36,389 --> 00:16:30,000
and that we

369
00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:38,470
and

370
00:16:43,110 --> 00:16:40,240
there have been a lot of

371
00:16:44,949 --> 00:16:43,120
auroras or northern lights down here

372
00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:44,959
have you been able to see them from

373
00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:46,160
space

374
00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:47,600
and if so

375
00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:49,120
how are they different than here on

376
00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:56,389
so uh

377
00:17:01,269 --> 00:16:59,199
the first day i arrived

378
00:17:02,629 --> 00:17:01,279
the the crew that was already here on

379
00:17:04,789 --> 00:17:02,639
the space station

380
00:17:07,189 --> 00:17:04,799
were very very welcoming we had a few

381
00:17:10,150 --> 00:17:07,199
things to get done and then we had had a

382
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:10,160
very very long day on the launch day so

383
00:17:14,150 --> 00:17:12,000
we had a lot of rest time but i quite

384
00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:14,160
honestly i didn't rest very much i was

385
00:17:17,510 --> 00:17:15,919
so excited to be up here

386
00:17:19,510 --> 00:17:17,520
i went to look out the window for about

387
00:17:21,590 --> 00:17:19,520
45 minutes straight to watch both the

388
00:17:24,230 --> 00:17:21,600
sunrise and the sunset

389
00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:24,240
and part of that one of the crew members

390
00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:25,600
that was already here pointed out where

391
00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:27,520
an aurora was

392
00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:29,039
how would i describe it as being

393
00:17:33,029 --> 00:17:31,280
different

394
00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:33,039
i certainly felt like it looked a lot

395
00:17:37,510 --> 00:17:34,960
more expansive on the ground an aurora

396
00:17:41,029 --> 00:17:37,520
looks like a curtain of green above you

397
00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:41,039
and from space it looks like a

398
00:17:48,230 --> 00:17:43,679
kind of a lot of rippling green below

399
00:17:51,909 --> 00:17:49,430
okay

400
00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:51,919
