be looking

49
00:03:36,309 --> 00:03:33,120

lead

55
00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:46,159
once again not just in low earth orbit

56
00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:47,440
but once again

57
00:03:51,589 --> 00:03:50,159
leading the world in space exploration

58
00:03:53,509 --> 00:03:51,599
and we're just

59
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:53,519
really honored to speak to three

60
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:55,120
courageous americans who are such an

61
00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:56,480
essential part

62
00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:01,750
let me

63
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:04,799
one of you uh

64
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:06,640
mark and joe i understand you both just

65
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:08,080
arrived

66
00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:12,560
in space about a week and a half ago can

67
00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:14,720
can you describe uh

68
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:17,359
for an earth dweller like me what it's

69
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:25,110
well especially at the beginning it

70
00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:26,400
feels a little bit like someone's

71
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:28,000
holding you by your feet upside down for

72
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:29,120
a while

73
00:04:32,390 --> 00:04:30,400
it can be a little uncomfortable but

74
00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:32,400
it's amazing how quickly human beings

75
00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:38,790
how about how about the rest of you any

76
00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:41,120
any impressions that you can interpret

77
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:42,479
life in space

78
00:04:45,909 --> 00:04:44,160
to somebody like me that's just looked

79
00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:45,919
on my whole lifetime and admired people

80
00:04:55,270 --> 00:04:52,390
well let me just say

81
00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:55,280
it's a it's an awesome feeling it's a

82
00:04:59,110 --> 00:04:56,960
it's really an honor and a privilege to

83
00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:59,120
be up here to be serving our country and

84
00:05:02,950 --> 00:05:01,440
doing all this great research but i

85
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:02,960
think all of us have the little kid in

86
00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:04,800
us so you know to be able to float

87
00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:06,639
around and just uh

88
00:05:10,150 --> 00:05:07,680
kind of just

89
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:10,160
break free of all these uh these ties

90
00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:11,840
that we have on earth it's quite a

91
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:13,759
remarkable feeling and you know

92
00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:15,759
hopefully someday more and more people

93
00:05:26,390 --> 00:05:24,790
thanks for the acrobatics behind you

94
00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:26,400
there i was that was actually very

95
00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:28,320
impressive um

96
00:05:34,629 --> 00:05:29,280
uh

97
00:05:37,189 --> 00:05:34,639
question at you um

98
00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:37,199
you know i'm gonna take a look here

99
00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:39,280
at the space launch system that that's

100
00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:40,800
going to carry your fellow astronauts

101
00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:43,919
into deep space can can you talk about

102
00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:46,960
how the work you're doing now

103
00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:54,390
oh mr vice president we can definitely

104
00:05:58,390 --> 00:05:56,639
say that uh if you get to see that uh

105
00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:58,400
engine firing today that'll be a sight

106
00:06:01,590 --> 00:05:59,919
to behold it'll be something you'll

107
00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:01,600
always remember and those engines are

108
00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:03,759
gonna power the rocket that takes you

109
00:06:09,430 --> 00:06:07,280
know the spaceships like our orion um

110
00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:09,440
up to orbit with the people inside and

111
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:11,680
you'll hear about em1 and em2 our test

112
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:12,960
flights that are coming up here real

113
00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:15,440
soon um you know in spacecrafts just

114
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:16,639
like this

115
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:18,000
actually maybe a little larger than this

116
00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:20,880
one but uh you know an orion spacecraft

117
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:23,039
built in the u.s you meant to go do deep

118
00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:25,199
exploration missions um

119
00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:26,880
and the work that we're doing is so that

120
00:06:31,189 --> 00:06:28,960
we can survive when we're in that going

121
00:06:32,790 --> 00:06:31,199
into deep space places you know how does

122
00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:32,800
radiation affect us up here well we're

123
00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:34,479
up here for six months at a time seeing

124
00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:36,800
how it affects us we're looking at

125
00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:39,520
nutrition muscles bones all these types

126
00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:41,120
of things that are really important that

127
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:43,440
degrade while we're here in zero gravity

128
00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:45,120
just this afternoon we were working on

129
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:47,680
the miniature exercise exercise device

130
00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:49,919
which was meant to fit into a capsule

131
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:51,520
just like orion

132
00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:53,280
and so we can do exercise to maintain

133
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:55,360
our health so when by the time we get to

134
00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:57,360
other heavenly bodies or whatever the

135
00:07:03,110 --> 00:06:59,280
exploration mission is we're fit and

136
00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:04,870
well i really appreciate that commander

137
00:07:09,029 --> 00:07:07,120
it's a great insight you all might be

138
00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:09,039
particularly proud with your background

139
00:07:12,309 --> 00:07:10,639
to know that today

140
00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:12,319
president trump signed a presidential

141
00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:14,000
memorandum directing the department of

142
00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:16,000
education to vote at least 200 million

143
00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:17,039
dollars

144
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:19,360
a year to grant funds toward expanding

145
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:22,160
access to high quality stem education

146
00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:24,720
and computer science education is

147
00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:25,680
and

148
00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:29,360
historically underserved

149
00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:30,800
groups i think the president is

150
00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:32,639
absolutely determined

151
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:35,039
to make sure that education in america

152
00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:36,800
is laying a foundation

153
00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:40,400
uh in in mathematics and science

154
00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:42,080
and all the technical background that's

155
00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:44,720
going to make it possible for more

156
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:47,199
more of our little boys and girls to

157
00:07:51,029 --> 00:07:49,120
reach for the stars and

158
00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:51,039
and maybe be able to live the dream that

159
00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:54,240
you all are dreaming today

160
00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:55,440
what advice

161
00:08:02,230 --> 00:08:00,479
people today how do they make it

162
00:08:07,749 --> 00:08:02,240
to the international space station and

163
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:09,430
well i would start off by telling them

164
00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:12,400
all to uh to dream big it was all

165
00:08:16,869 --> 00:08:14,560
a dream of ours to someday be up here

166
00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:16,879
and without that dream we wouldn't be

167
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:17,919
here so

168
00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:19,759
you know that's the first step and then

169
00:08:23,589 --> 00:08:21,599
i would tell them to work hard

170
00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:23,599
somebody once told me you know you don't

171
00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:25,199
have to be the smartest person in the

172
00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:27,360
room and you probably won't be but

173
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:28,879
there's no reason why you can't work

174
00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:31,360
harder than everybody else so

175
00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:33,120
work as hard as you can

176
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:35,039
but really you know what i think is most

177
00:08:37,829 --> 00:08:36,959
important is have fun with whatever you

178
00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:37,839
do

179
00:08:42,469 --> 00:08:40,240
we love our job of course we love being

180
00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:42,479
up here but the jobs we had before we

181
00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:44,880
arrived at nasa we all loved them so

182
00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:46,560
find a field that you're very passionate

183
00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:47,519
about

184
00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:49,120
and if you love it you're never going to

185
00:08:52,630 --> 00:08:50,480
have to work a day in your life it's

186
00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:52,640
just really really good so

187
00:08:55,750 --> 00:08:54,399
you know i would pass that along and let

188
00:09:00,870 --> 00:08:55,760
people know there's

189
00:09:04,870 --> 00:09:02,790
well thanks for that let me uh let me

190
00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:04,880
ask you a question in my in my role as

191
00:09:08,470 --> 00:09:06,560
chairman of the national space council

192
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:08,480
and our council will be meeting

193
00:09:13,269 --> 00:09:10,560
uh for the first time

194
00:09:15,829 --> 00:09:13,279
in washington d.c in just a few short

195
00:09:20,230 --> 00:09:17,990
i'd love to know how do you believe your

196
00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:20,240
work on the international space station

197
00:09:29,590 --> 00:09:23,279
day in and day out advances american

198
00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:31,990
we just sent home a spacex dragon cargo

199
00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:33,920
vehicle that carried science that we

200
00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:36,000
were working on for a month up here one

201
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:39,600
of them was growing up lung tissue

202
00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:42,240
lung tissue that's gonna allow them to

203
00:09:46,949 --> 00:09:44,640
ideally figure out you know cures for

204
00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:46,959
lung cancer so we one of our crewmates

205
00:09:51,750 --> 00:09:50,399
dubbed it the cancer-seeking missiles

206
00:09:53,829 --> 00:09:51,760
groundbreaking research like that up

207
00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:53,839
here on the international space station

208
00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:56,800
365 days a year 24 hours a day

209
00:10:01,190 --> 00:09:59,440
is what keeps american leadership in in

210
00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:01,200
space

211
00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:03,040
the fact that there are companies that

212
00:10:05,990 --> 00:10:04,560
are building cargo vehicles coming to

213
00:10:08,069 --> 00:10:06,000
our space station the fact that those

214
00:10:09,269 --> 00:10:08,079
same companies and new ones are building

215
00:10:11,269 --> 00:10:09,279
crude vehicles they're going to come to

216
00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:11,279
our space station that's how we maintain

217
00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:14,000
our leadership but most of all the place

218
00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:15,360
that you sit and the mission control

219
00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:16,640
that we talked to in houston and all

220
00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:18,320
these other nasa centers it's the work

221
00:10:22,630 --> 00:10:20,720
we do every day continuing to live and

222
00:10:24,550 --> 00:10:22,640
work in space and dealing with the

223
00:10:26,550 --> 00:10:24,560
challenges of not only the daily

224
00:10:28,949 --> 00:10:26,560
operations but the longevity of the

225
00:10:31,829 --> 00:10:28,959
operations we're going into six decades

226
00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:31,839
of space in america it's the daily stuff

227
00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:33,279
that we do and the challenges we keep

228
00:10:37,430 --> 00:10:34,800
putting in front of ourselves that

229
00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:37,440
maintain our leadership in space

230
00:10:41,110 --> 00:10:39,440

international space station and thank

260
00:11:48,470 --> 00:11:46,880
you most of all for your support of our

261
00:11:50,069 --> 00:11:48,480
exploration and i think the national

262
00:11:51,269 --> 00:11:50,079
space council is going to do great work

263
00:11:53,509 --> 00:11:51,279
here in the future we look forward to

264
00:11:54,829 --> 00:11:53,519
seeing it thank you good evening from

265
00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:54,839
the international space

266
00:12:04,949 --> 00:12:01,190
station this is houston acr that

267
00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:06,710
and thank you president and all the

268
00:12:09,910 --> 00:12:08,240
participants at the marshall space

269
00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:09,920
flight center station we are now

270
00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:11,519
resuming operational audio

271
00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:29,750
so for example today we had a pretty

272
00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:30,800
busy day

273
00:12:35,829 --> 00:12:33,600
uh so we did an exercise demonstration

274
00:12:37,509 --> 00:12:35,839
that's going to help uh us for a running

275
00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:37,519
so it's one of our exploration

276
00:12:41,509 --> 00:12:39,920
initiatives we also did work on a

277
00:12:43,509 --> 00:12:41,519
combustion experiment upgrading our

278
00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:43,519
combustion racking station

279
00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:45,440
for both of those activities now we

280
00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:48,000
enable the pd to talk from their home

281
00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:49,360
um

282
00:12:52,710 --> 00:12:50,720
for instance

283
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:52,720
johnson to talk to the crew on the space

284
00:12:55,590 --> 00:12:54,000
station

285
00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:55,600
both of those activities like for

286
00:12:59,350 --> 00:12:57,440
instance the

287
00:13:01,670 --> 00:12:59,360
combustion research

288
00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:01,680
not only writing fires in space but also

289
00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:04,959
developing better meanings for space

290
00:13:09,829 --> 00:13:06,480
and then the third one we're going to

291
00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:09,839
talk about today we did a mushroom uh

292
00:13:15,990 --> 00:13:12,240
joint experiment um that is related to

293
00:13:17,509 --> 00:13:16,000
stem so uh the cosmonaut sasha he set up

294
00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:17,519
a camera in the

295
00:13:20,069 --> 00:13:18,560
window

296
00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:20,079
and middle school students from around

297
00:13:24,150 --> 00:13:21,600
the world are going to get to take

298
00:13:25,509 --> 00:13:24,160
photos they get to get to go online

299
00:13:27,030 --> 00:13:25,519
choose what photo they want to take and

300
00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:27,040
then they can build up

301
00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:28,720
their school their class

302
00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:30,240
and build a lesson plan around that

303
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:32,000
photo is that right

304
00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:34,240
that's great so that's just today yeah

305
00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:35,360
that's great every day we're doing

306
00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:37,200
things like that so where are they on

307
00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:38,240
the globe

308
00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:42,399
here they're flying over the south where

309
00:13:45,509 --> 00:13:43,680
are they actually physically it's

310
00:13:53,189 --> 00:13:45,519
actually pacific yeah

311
00:13:53,199 --> 00:14:10,629
yeah great good thank you
