slipped past your 134 00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:25,759 expedition but can you talk a little bit 135 00:05:31,270 --> 00:05:28,960 about um potentially the first crew 136 00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:31,280 dragon unmanned test arriving how much 137 00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:34,800 preparation you've done for it as a crew 138 00:05:40,469 --> 00:05:38,240 and what that preparation consisted of 139 00:05:41,909 --> 00:05:40,479 uh well we we didn't really prepare uh 140 00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:41,919 too much for it we 141 00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:44,080 you know it's on the schedule to to 142 00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:46,000 happen and if it started looking like it 143 00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:48,000 was a realistic target then we we would 144 00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:50,160 be training uh quite a bit more uh the 145 00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:51,440 procedures that we would use would 146 00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:54,000 pretty much be standard procedures uh 147 00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:56,800 for any visiting vehicle uh or any 148 00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:58,800 transport vehicle to uh to arrive on 149 00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:59,840 station 150 00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:01,199 so the amount of training that we would 151 00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:03,440 do on station real time just prior to 152 00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:05,520 the arrival would probably ramp up and 153 00:06:09,189 --> 00:06:07,039 would probably take uh take a couple of 154 00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:09,199 weeks of training on on getting more 155 00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:10,880 familiar with the systems more familiar 156 00:06:14,950 --> 00:06:12,080 with the processes and some of the 157 00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:14,960 limitations uh on that but we've had a 158 00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:16,639 little bit of overview on dragon you 159 00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,240 know i used to work commercial crew you 160 00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:20,639 know several years ago so we all have as 161 00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:22,560 a crew we have a general knowledge of of 162 00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:24,560 the systems and and and how it should 163 00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:27,360 work uh for that but but other than that 164 00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:28,400 um 165 00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:31,120 we we don't see it coming into our our 166 00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:33,840 our schedule uh while we're there 167 00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:35,759 but but if it does start looking like it 168 00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:37,840 will then then we'll ramp up and start 169 00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:40,560 training more intensely 170 00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:43,280

00:06:57,270 --> 00:06:55,360 station so we're very excited for that 177 00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:57,280 all right another question 178 00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:59,199 yes my name is jared williams with

education 213 00:08:19,589 --> 00:08:17,520 uh really focus hard on on making that 214 00:08:22,309 --> 00:08:19,599 happen if they like you know building 215 00:08:24,629 --> 00:08:22,319 systems fixing systems wondering how 216 00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:24,639 systems work that's uh that's a benefit 217 00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:26,400 that will carry their their interest 218 00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:28,240 through all of the education that that 219 00:08:30,390 --> 00:08:29,680 they should have 220 00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:30,400 but 221 00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:32,880 they should concentrate on education and 222 00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:34,560 if they find a point of something that 223 00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:37,360 they love whether it's in technology or 224 00:08:41,509 --> 00:08:39,680 art or music or whatever it doesn't 225 00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:41,519 matter we have room for all of them in 226 00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:43,760 this in in the human space flight 227 00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:44,800 community 228 00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:46,480 it takes all types we're probably one of 229 00:08:49,590 --> 00:08:48,160 the most diverse groups 230 00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:49,600 that you'd ever find in any any 231 00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:51,360 corporation 232 00:08:55,509 --> 00:08:54,160 out there the mission is incredible and 233 00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:55,519 and if you have a love for space it 234 00:08:59,190 --> 00:08:57,360 doesn't matter what you do 235 00:09:02,150 --> 00:08:59,200 do it well do whatever it is you you 236 00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:02,160 like well and then and then bring it to 237 00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:04,800 the space community because we want it 238 00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:07,120 thanks do nemo or anton do you want to 239 00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:09,040 add anything about education or 240 00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:11,440 inspiring the next generation 241 00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:14,000 actually when i was a kid 242 00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:16,800 i was never thinking about 243 00:09:21,110 --> 00:09:19,279 you know becoming an astronaut but for 244 00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:21,120 some reason you know 245 00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:23,120 i i am here 246 00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:23,839 so 247 00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:24,720 i think 248 00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:29,430 that's very interesting but uh 249 00:09:32,550 --> 00:09:31,440 i'm thinking about my teachers my 250 00:09:35,350 --> 00:09:32,560 parents 251 00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:35,360 they directed me to the right 252 00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:38,399 direction whenever i think about i'm 253 00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:39,839 you know studying 254 00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:41,920 something else they you know just 255 00:10:04,470 --> 00:09:44,160 directed me to the right direction then 256 00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:07,110 i should say that my 257 00:10:11,829 --> 00:10:09,600 dream to become a cosmonaut and go into 258 00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:11,839 space has been my childhood dream and i 259 00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:15,120 was advancing the dream step by step and 260 00:10:18,710 --> 00:10:16,399 the 261 00:10:20,550 --> 00:10:18,720 makerspace representative mentioned i 262 00:10:22,630 --> 00:10:20,560 was working hard to 263 00:10:42,790 --> 00:10:22,640 advance my education to achieve their 264 00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:44,790 and for our kids all over the world i 265 00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:47,360 should say that using my example it is 266 00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:49,680 not that difficult to become a cosmonaut 267 00:10:54,630 --> 00:10:52,320 or an astronaut you need to study hard 268 00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:54,640 you need to listen to 269 00:11:00,389 --> 00:10:57,600 adults follow directions no drinking 270 00:11:02,389 --> 00:11:00,399 no smoking no drugs lots of sports and 271 00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:02,399 you can pursue your dream 272 00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:04,240 great thank you all right we have 273 00:11:10,230 --> 00:11:06,320 another question over here 274 00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:10,240 i'm ethan saudia with pcs4me and um my 275 00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:12,480 question is well i've noticed that your 276 00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:14,720 twitter handle is astro maker and i'm 277 00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:16,480 wondering what kind of things you like 278 00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:18,560 making and if you will be involved with 279 00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:21,760 the raspberry pi astro pi program aboard 280 00:11:26,010 --> 00:11:25,120 the international space station 281 00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:26,020 am i part of that 282 00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:27,600 [Laughter] 283 00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:29,760 i have to ask the boss here i believe 284 00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:32,320 it's a european space agency experiment 285 00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:33,760 i don't know if you guys have more info 286 00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:36,320 on it but you may you never know yeah 287 00:11:39,990 --> 00:11:37,839 yeah we'll see when we get there i 288 00:11:42,790 --> 00:11:40,000 haven't been been briefed on it or uh 289 00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:42,800 i've been part of it uh yet um so my my 290 00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:45,680 call sign is uh astromaker on on twitter 291 00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:47,760 uh and that just that comes from uh when 292 00:11:53,509 --> 00:11:50,000 i was a pilot in the navy 293 00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:53,519 that um uh my co my colleagues called me 294 00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:56,480 maker and um it did not have to do 295 00:12:01,750 --> 00:11:59,360 because i made things it had other other 296 00:12:04,949 --> 00:12:01,760 reasons and then um 297 00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:04,959 which i won't talk about today 298 00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:07,920 but uh but it's uh it's 299 00:12:11,829 --> 00:12:10,240 more than a great coincidence i do like 300 00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:11,839 making things i do like fixing things i 301 00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:14,880 got a lot of tools at home and i have a 302 00:12:18,790 --> 00:12:17,120 small garage but it gets everything done 303 00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:18,800 and when the dishwasher breaks i pull it 304 00:12:24,230 --> 00:12:21,279 out and i'll put a pump in it or take it 305 00:12:25,990 --> 00:12:24,240 apart the the clothes washer breaks i'll 306 00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:26,000 take it out put a new motor in it and if 307 00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:27,680 the car breaks i'll pull that out take 308 00:12:32,310 --> 00:12:29,760 the motor out put another one in it and 309 00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:32,320 whatever whatever it needs to happen and 310 00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:34,160 uh and occasionally i'll i'll get some 311 00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:35,920 tools out and you know make some nice 312 00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:38,480 little ornament things or or some 313

00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:46,160 and seeing how it works and i try to fix 317 00:12:49,110 --> 00:12:47,440 it 318 00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:49,120 not just because i'm cheap although i am 319 00:12:51,910 --> 00:12:50,480 cheap but 320 00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:51,920 but because it's cool you know going in 321 00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:53,360 and seeing how all the wires work and 322 00:12:56,870 --> 00:12:54,720 how all the all the mechanical 323 00:12:58,470 --> 00:12:56,880 interfaces work and uh and just getting 324 00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:58,480 it working and it's a challenge for me 325 00:13:02,150 --> 00:12:59,920 being a little bit older and working all 326 00:13:03,509 --> 00:13:02,160 the electronics into these systems and 327 00:13:05,509 --> 00:13:03,519 and doing the troubleshooting so i'm 328 00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:05,519 starting to gear up my toolbox when it 329 00:13:09,350 --> 00:13:07,920 you know for electronic troubleshooting 330 00:13:11,030 -->

reminds you of home 624 00:26:17,190 --> 00:26:16,000 you're bringing 625 00:26:19,990 --> 00:26:17,200 actually 626 00:26:22,149 --> 00:26:20,000 yeah jack's a japanese space agency 627 00:26:26,149 --> 00:26:22,159 provides 628 00:26:27,430 --> 00:26:26,159 many kinds of japanese space food so i i 629 00:26:30,070 --> 00:26:27,440 will bring 630 00:26:33,029 --> 00:26:30,080 all all kinds of japanese food and share 631 00:26:35,510 --> 00:26:33,039 with my crewmates 632 00:26:37,269 --> 00:26:35,520 are you guys bringing any special food 633 00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:37,279 i'm just going to try to steal nemo's 634 00:26:40,789 --> 00:26:38,720 food when he brings it on because it's 635 00:26:42,310 --> 00:26:40,799 always really good 636 00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:42,320 what about you anton 637 00:27:01,669 --> 00:26:59,669 it's true we have food items represented 638 00:27:05,269 --> 00:27:01,679 from uh different countries on board of 639 00:27:07,590 --> 00:27:05,279 the iss mostly it's russian uh nasa food 640 00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:07,600 items and also the rest of the food 641 00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:10,320 complement depends on uh who is um 642 00:27:17,430 --> 00:27:12,320 industry astronaut flying on board of 643 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:30,149 is 644 00:27:34,389 --> 00:27:32,389 separately for each crew member however 645 00:27:38,070 --> 00:27:34,399 we have a very good tradition of food 646 00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:38,080 sharing and we choose the items each of 647 00:27:43,190 --> 00:27:40,640 us prefers and 648 00:27:44,789 --> 00:27:43,200 that's the way we work on board 649 00:27:46,310 --> 00:27:44,799 great thank you 650 00:27:48,950 --> 00:27:46,320 i know one thing we haven't talked about 651 00:27:50,630 --> 00:27:48,960 yet of course is really the main job of 652 00:27:52,389 --> 00:27:50,640 you on the space station and that's 653 00:27:54,230 --> 00:27:52,399 doing science 654 00:27:55,830 --> 00:27:54,240 science to figure out how we're going to 655 00:27:57,990 --> 00:27:55,840 live longer in space so we can go 656 00:28:00,070 --> 00:27:58,000 further into space and also to help us 657 00:28:01,830 --> 00:28:00,080 on earth so i was wondering if each of 658 00:28:03,110 --> 00:28:01,840 you could talk a little bit about the 659 00:28:04,710 --> 00:28:03,120 science you'll be doing on the space 660 00:28:06,230 --> 00:28:04,720 station and maybe an experiment you're 661 00:28:07,669 --> 00:28:06,240 looking forward to 662 00:28:09,350 --> 00:28:07,679 sure 663 00:28:11,350 --> 00:28:09,360 well at any given time there's on the 664 00:28:13,990 --> 00:28:11,360 order of 250 665 00:28:16,549 --> 00:28:14,000 experiments that are that are happening 666 00:28:18,070 --> 00:28:16,559 onboard space station it's a very busy 667 00:28:20,149 --> 00:28:18,080 laboratory 668 00:28:23,110 --> 00:28:20,159 some of the specific human research that 669 00:28:25,590 --> 00:28:23,120 i'll be working on includes 670 00:28:26,710 --> 00:28:25,600 a look at the spine you know when we get 671 00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:26,720 in orbit 672 00:28:31,990 --> 00:28:29,760 into space our spines extend a little 673 00:28:33,590 --> 00:28:32,000 bit and so we're trying to see what the 674 00:28:34,950 --> 00:28:33,600 the big impacts are on that we've 675 00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:34,960 they've got a big study going that i'll 676 00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:37,760 be participating in on on that um as 677 00:28:42,789 --> 00:28:40,080 well uh we also take a lot of blood a 678 00:28:46,149 --> 00:28:42,799 lot of urine a lot of fluids to uh to 679 00:28:47,909 --> 00:28:46,159 try to see what's going on um with uh 680 00:28:50,230 --> 00:28:47,919 within uh you know humans when they get 681 00:28:52,789 --> 00:28:50,240 into space uh so that's a big part of 682 00:28:55,510 --> 00:28:52,799 the study as well as far as some of the 683 00:28:58,230 --> 00:28:55,520 physical science um we'll be looking at 684 00:29:01,190 --> 00:28:58,240 things like combustion and fluids and 685 00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:01,200 some other robotics things going on with 686 00:29:04,549 --> 00:29:03,200 through spheres of that program i'm 687 00:29:06,789 --> 00:29:04,559 actually fairly excited to see the 688 00:29:08,549 --> 00:29:06,799 spheres work and that'll be part of our 689 00:29:10,389 --> 00:29:08,559 also part of our educational outreach 690 00:29:12,789 --> 00:29:10,399 program but watching those things fly 691 00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:12,799 around station is pretty cool 692 00:29:18,789 --> 00:29:14,720 spheres are robots right little flying 693 00:29:21,269 --> 00:29:18,799 robots all right thank you nemo 694 00:29:23,590 --> 00:29:21,279 yes i'm interested in the 695 00:29:24,950 --> 00:29:23,600 small satellite deployment 696 00:29:27,430 --> 00:29:24,960 it's been 697 00:29:28,950 --> 00:29:27,440 i think five years since the first small 698 00:29:32,710 --> 00:29:28,960 satellite 699 00:29:34,149 --> 00:29:32,720 deployed from japanese mojo since then i 700 00:29:36,070 --> 00:29:34,159 overheard 701 00:29:38,070 --> 00:29:36,080 almost 200 702 00:29:40,389 --> 00:29:38,080 satellites are deployed from space 703 00:29:42,710 --> 00:29:40,399 station so i wish i 704 00:29:45,430 --> 00:29:42,720 i am going to have a chance to deploy 705 00:29:47,590 --> 00:29:45,440 this kind of a 706 00:29:49,269 --> 00:29:47,600 small satellite from a japanese 707 00:29:51,830 --> 00:29:49,279 experimental module 708 00:30:09,510 --> 00:29:51,840 very cool thank you antoine what's the 709 00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:11,590 all the experiments that we perform on 710 00:30:17,190 --> 00:30:14,080 board of the iss can be divided into 711 00:30:19,830 --> 00:30:17,200 different categories we study our earth 712 00:30:34,830 --> 00:30:19,840 we study ourselves to see how human body 713 00:30:39,510 --> 00:30:37,269 um also the experiments are very useful 714 00:30:42,470 --> 00:30:39,520 i would say our favorite experiments are 715 00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:42,480 of the type where you can touch the 716 00:30:46,310 --> 00:30:44,080 experiment items 717 00:30:48,870 --> 00:30:46,320 you are inventing something new and you 718 00:30:58,149 --> 00:30:48,880 can see uh things grow 719 00:31:01,750 --> 00:30:59,909 unfortunately there are some experiments 720 00:31:03,669 --> 00:31:01,760 that are boring you just have to turn on 721 00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:03,679 the device and then turn the device off 722 00:31:07,350 --> 00:31:05,760 after some time but somebody has to do 723 00:31:08,950 --> 00:31:07,360 it 724 00:31:10,389 --> 00:31:08,960 nice thank you 725 00:31:11,990 --> 00:31:10,399 that was great do we have any more 726 00:31:14,389 --> 00:31:12,000 questions in the room just raise your 727 00:31:22,789 --> 00:31:14,399 hand if you have a question 728 00:31:26,789 --> 00:31:24,950 could i just ask each of you why you 729 00:31:27,909 --> 00:31:26,799 were inspired to commit your life to 730 00:31:29,430 --> 00:31:27,919 space 731 00:31:31,269 --> 00:31:29,440 good question 732 00:31:34,230 --> 00:31:31,279 all right 733 00:31:35,590 --> 00:31:34,240 well that's uh that's a pretty big 734 00:31:37,590 --> 00:31:35,600 question but 735 00:31:39,350 --> 00:31:37,600 uh you know everybody's got their own 736 00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:39,360 reasons that for me it 737 00:31:43,750 --> 00:31:41,760 it wasn't really even a huge decision it 738 00:31:44,789 --> 00:31:43,760 was just a natural thing it was in my 739 00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:44,799 dna 740 00:31:48,870 --> 00:31:46,960 um 741 00:31:49,990 --> 00:31:48,880 that was a career path that that i was 742 00:31:51,830 --> 00:31:50,000 shooting for 743 00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:51,840 uh and all of the little milestones that 744 00:31:56,149 --> 00:31:53,760 lead up to it were were something that i 745 00:31:58,230 --> 00:31:56,159 wanted in my life just from being you 746 00:32:00,710 --> 00:31:58,240 know from being from childhood 747 00:32:02,230 --> 00:32:00,720 so you know was there one thing if it 748 00:32:03,590 --> 00:32:02,240 was anything it was neil armstrong 749 00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:03,600 walking on the moon 750 00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:06,320 um but then after that it was uh it was 751 00:32:11,029 --> 00:32:07,919 just in the middle of my head and it 752 00:32:14,230 --> 00:32:12,630 and you've taken i will elaborate a 753 00:32:16,389 --> 00:32:14,240 little bit you've taken you know many 754 00:32:17,909 --> 00:32:16,399 steps to get here can you tell a little 755 00:32:19,590 --> 00:32:17,919 bit about your journey to be an 756 00:32:21,590 --> 00:32:19,600 astronaut your background 757 00:32:23,509 --> 00:32:21,600 sure i figured out i went to a 758 00:32:24,470 --> 00:32:23,519 vocational high school 759 00:32:28,789 --> 00:32:24,480 and 760 00:32:30,230 --> 00:32:28,799 going to take a really 761 00:32:33,190 --> 00:32:30,240 in-depth 762 00:32:35,669 --> 00:32:33,200 intense education to be able to compete 763 00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:35,679 and to have value added when i to bring 764 00:32:40,630 --> 00:32:38,080 to the astronaut corps so i worked real 765 00:32:42,950 --> 00:32:40,640 hard got into undergraduate at umass 766 00:32:44,630 --> 00:32:42,960 dartmouth i worked really hard there in 767 00:32:45,990 --> 00:32:44,640 engineering and loved engineering and 768 00:32:47,909 --> 00:32:46,000 science 769 00:32:49,669 --> 00:32:47,919 and so i decided to go to graduate 770 00:32:51,909 --> 00:32:49,679 school i went to purdue university for 771 00:32:54,389 --> 00:32:51,919 graduate school i absolutely loved the 772 00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:54,399 sciences decided to just hold off i love 773 00:32:58,389 --> 00:32:56,480 flying airplanes and fast cars and 774 00:33:00,310 --> 00:32:58,399 motorcycles and things too 775 00:33:02,389 --> 00:33:00,320 but i decided to uh to hold off on the 776 00:33:04,230 --> 00:33:02,399 aviation thing and go get an engineering 777 00:33:06,149 --> 00:33:04,240 job on the west coast 778 00:33:08,310 --> 00:33:06,159 which was fantastic 779 00:33:10,389 --> 00:33:08,320 great learning great experience 780 00:33:11,909 --> 00:33:10,399 but i knew i needed to go fly airplanes 781 00:33:13,509 --> 00:33:11,919 as i was investigating the route what do 782 00:33:14,789 --> 00:33:13,519 i want to go to a phd and then try to be 783 00:33:17,269 --> 00:33:14,799 an astronaut or do i want to fly 784 00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:17,279 airplanes be a test pilot and try to fly 785 00:33:22,070 --> 00:33:19,600 and try to be an astronaut and and i 786 00:33:25,110 --> 00:33:22,080 decided that the the path for me was to 787 00:33:26,789 --> 00:33:25,120 go be a pilot and then a test pilot 788 00:33:28,070 --> 00:33:26,799 knowing that that was a very challenging 789 00:33:29,190 --> 00:33:28,080 physically challenging mentally 790 00:33:30,630 --> 00:33:29,200 challenging 791 00:33:32,710 --> 00:33:30,640 path to take 792 00:33:35,669 --> 00:33:32,720 but but it was a natural path for me to 793 00:33:38,470 --> 00:33:35,679 take so i ended up doing that and 794 00:33:40,470 --> 00:33:38,480 some years later here i am lucky there 795 00:33:42,950 --> 00:33:40,480 you go thank you all right nemo what 796 00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:42,960 inspired you to be an astronaut 797 00:33:47,350 --> 00:33:44,799 as i mentioned before 798 00:33:49,669 --> 00:33:47,360 i've never dreamed about becoming an 799 00:33:51,190 --> 00:33:49,679 astronaut when i was a kid 800 00:33:54,230 --> 00:33:51,200 but before 801 00:33:58,389 --> 00:33:54,240 becoming an astronaut i was working for 802 00:34:01,509 --> 00:33:58,399 the navy japan navy as a 803 00:34:04,149 --> 00:34:01,519 medical officer and diving officer so i 804 00:34:05,430 --> 00:34:04,159 was working for the diving medicine for 805 00:34:08,629 --> 00:34:05,440 a long time 806 00:34:11,750 --> 00:34:08,639 then i got interested in the extreme 807 00:34:13,270 --> 00:34:11,760 environment medicine and also space 808 00:34:14,869 --> 00:34:13,280 medicine then 809 00:34:17,030 --> 00:34:14,879 okay i'm 810 00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:17,040 let's think about becoming an 811 00:34:22,470 --> 00:34:19,520 astronaut or working in the space 812 00:34:25,510 --> 00:34:22,480 you know world then i was lucky enough 813 00:34:42,550 --> 00:34:25,520 to be selected as a astronaut candidate 814 00:34:46,790 --> 00:34:44,310 as i've mentioned previously it was my 815 00:34:48,790 --> 00:34:46,800 childhood dream in the 1970s when i was 816 00:34:50,389 --> 00:34:48,800 born in the soviet union all boys and 817 00:34:53,349 --> 00:34:50,399 girls were dreaming of becoming 818 00:34:53,359 --> 00:35:00,230 materials 819 00:35:04,550 --> 00:35:02,630 i read a lot of books about space 820 00:35:07,270 --> 00:35:04,560 exploration and cosmonauts and i watched 821 00:35:09,910 --> 00:35:07,280 a lot of different documentaries and 822 00:35:11,750 --> 00:35:09,920 programs about space exploration and i 823 00:35:13,990 --> 00:35:11,760 prepared the plan of how i was going to 824 00:35:17,670 --> 00:35:14,000 become a cosmonaut 825 00:35:28,950 --> 00:35:19,270 first of all i decided i was going to be 826 00:35:33,270 --> 00:35:30,470 so when i was still in high school when 827 00:35:39,910 --> 00:35:33,280 i turned 15 i started flying small uh 828 00:35:46,790 --> 00:35:42,950 uh same as uh maker i 829 00:35:49,990 --> 00:35:48,150 academia 830 00:35:54,710 --> 00:35:50,000 then i graduated from the air force 831 00:36:35,030 --> 00:35:56,069 i 832 00:36:36,870 --> 00:36:35,040 awesome what a journey thank you all for 833 00:36:39,190 --> 00:36:36,880 sharing um i think we have another 834 00:36:41,990 --> 00:36:39,200 question here in the room 835 00:36:44,310 --> 00:36:42,000 from fuji television it's japan uh the 836 00:36:47,190 --> 00:36:44,320 question is related to the experiment 837 00:36:50,230 --> 00:36:47,200 and i want to ask to kanai-san as you 838 00:36:53,190 --> 00:36:50,240 said you are excited to do the research 839 00:36:55,270 --> 00:36:53,200 a lot of research in the space i know uh 840 00:36:59,190 --> 00:36:55,280 most of them is important but uh which 841 00:37:02,310 --> 00:36:59,200 one is most excited to do and uh also 842 00:37:03,109 --> 00:37:02,320 how important is it for us in the earth 843 00:37:05,349 --> 00:37:03,119 or 844 00:37:07,349 --> 00:37:05,359 in the future 845 00:37:08,550 --> 00:37:07,359 okay that can be a difficult question 846 00:37:10,550 --> 00:37:08,560 but uh 847 00:37:13,430 --> 00:37:10,560 i'm interested in the 848 00:37:17,030 --> 00:37:13,440 the human health research 849 00:37:20,230 --> 00:37:17,040 like uh scott mentioned 850 00:37:23,270 --> 00:37:20,240 we are astronaut astronauts are 851 00:37:26,630 --> 00:37:23,280 not only helping supporting uh 852 00:37:29,910 --> 00:37:26,640 experiment but also we can be a 853 00:37:32,150 --> 00:37:29,920 medical or research subject of the 854 00:37:36,790 --> 00:37:32,160 the science so we 855 00:37:37,829 --> 00:37:36,800 draw bloods or correct urines or saliva 856 00:37:40,390 --> 00:37:37,839 as a 857 00:37:43,510 --> 00:37:40,400 research specimen 858 00:37:45,829 --> 00:37:43,520 so i'm interested in that kind of human 859 00:37:48,390 --> 00:37:45,839 research because 860 00:37:52,950 --> 00:37:48,400 partially because i'm former i'm a 861 00:37:56,150 --> 00:37:54,950 how can i say you know 862 00:38:00,550 --> 00:37:56,160 uh 863 00:38:03,349 --> 00:38:00,560 the astronaut human body in space is a 864 00:38:05,270 --> 00:38:03,359 good representative of 865 00:38:06,870 --> 00:38:05,280 like a 866 00:38:08,390 --> 00:38:06,880 aged 867 00:38:09,910 --> 00:38:08,400 aging 868 00:38:11,910 --> 00:38:09,920 process of the 869 00:38:13,829 --> 00:38:11,920 the human on the 870 00:38:15,190 --> 00:38:13,839 earth so 871 00:38:16,630 --> 00:38:15,200 as 872 00:38:20,390 --> 00:38:16,640 by 873 00:38:21,829 --> 00:38:20,400 studying astronauts body in space we can 874 00:38:24,630 --> 00:38:21,839 figure out 875 00:38:27,030 --> 00:38:24,640 what is the aging process 876 00:38:30,470 --> 00:38:27,040 actually what it is it 877 00:38:35,910 --> 00:38:33,349 the astronaut research can contribute to 878 00:38:39,430 --> 00:38:35,920 a good medical 879 00:38:42,150 --> 00:38:39,440 treatment on the earth 880 00:38:44,630 --> 00:38:42,160 great that's a great example of a 881 00:38:46,069 --> 00:38:44,640 benefit from space flight that as you 882 00:38:48,470 --> 00:38:46,079 talked about you know the muscles and 883 00:38:50,550 --> 00:38:48,480 the bones deteriorate so much faster and 884 00:38:53,270 --> 00:38:50,560 a different pace in space 885 00:38:55,589 --> 00:38:53,280 and so we can study in space what it 886 00:38:57,670 --> 00:38:55,599 takes much longer to study on the ground 887 00:38:59,910 --> 00:38:57,680 for the bones and the muscles 888 00:39:02,150 --> 00:38:59,920 and i know that one of the benefits for 889 00:39:04,230 --> 00:39:02,160 people with osteoporosis is space 890 00:39:05,910 --> 00:39:04,240 research and changing the diet and 891 00:39:07,910 --> 00:39:05,920 medicines and things like that to help 892 00:39:09,190 --> 00:39:07,920 with that so it's great 893 00:39:10,310 --> 00:39:09,200 all right we have another question over 894 00:39:13,030 --> 00:39:10,320 here

going to activate 901 00:39:28,470 --> 00:39:25,920 the station on board the 902 00:39:31,670 --> 00:39:28,480 iss while you're up there 903 00:39:34,150 --> 00:39:31,680 yep i'm a ham radio guy and uh we've got 904 00:39:36,870 --> 00:39:34,160 several events uh already planned out to 905 00:39:38,470 --> 00:39:36,880 as part of our outreach uh effort while 906 00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:38,480 while i'm on station so hopefully i'll 907 00:39:46,790 --> 00:39:44,950 yes uh we were taking a tour before we 908 00:39:49,109 --> 00:39:46,800 got here we noticed that all the patches 909 00:39:50,710 --> 00:39:49,119 are different for each mission and they 910 00:39:53,510 --> 00:39:50,720 said that you guys designed the patch 911 00:39:55,190 --> 00:39:53,520 for your mission and it has special 912 00:39:58,390 --> 00:39:55,200 meaning i'm sure to you guys could you 913 00:39:59,510 --> 00:39:58,400 explain the artwork on your patch 914 00:40:01,750 --> 00:39:59,520 sure 915 00:40:04,390 --> 00:40:01,760 this patch was actually designed by tim 916 00:40:06,710 --> 00:40:04,400 gagnon and we looked at it and modified 917 00:40:09,510 --> 00:40:06,720 it a little bit 918 00:40:11,670 --> 00:40:09,520 obviously the 55 is our expedition 919 00:40:13,510 --> 00:40:11,680 uh when you look at the earth the earth 920 00:40:15,829 --> 00:40:13,520 and the colors represent how beautiful 921 00:40:18,150 --> 00:40:15,839 our our planet is and and how we take 922 00:40:20,950 --> 00:40:18,160 care of it we've got the flags that come 923 00:40:22,150 --> 00:40:20,960 up that represent the three uh countries 924 00:40:24,390 --> 00:40:22,160 that are 925 00:40:25,589 --> 00:40:24,400 represented by the crew on the on this 926 00:40:27,270 --> 00:40:25,599 expedition 927 00:40:29,349 --> 00:40:27,280 and as well we've got the three rings 928 00:40:30,630 --> 00:40:29,359 together coming together to fill a 929 00:40:32,710 --> 00:40:30,640 common goal 930 00:40:34,790 --> 00:40:32,720 and getting the science done on station 931 00:40:36,790 --> 00:40:34,800 and those three rings represent russia 932 00:40:39,190 --> 00:40:36,800 united states and 933 00:40:41,829 --> 00:40:39,200 japan as part of the crew represented on 934 00:40:43,670 --> 00:40:41,839 in this expedition for that keep in mind 935 00:40:45,270 --> 00:40:43,680 there are 16 to 18 international 936 00:40:48,390 --> 00:40:45,280 partners at any time and we are 937 00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:48,400 appreciative of all of them 938 00:40:52,390 --> 00:40:50,160 great thank you very

00:42:43,829 --> 00:42:41,599 it's like up there and what we're doing 977 00:42:45,190 --> 00:42:43,839 and and the benefits that we're bringing 978 00:42:47,750 --> 00:42:45,200 um so 979

most of 985 00:43:00,790 --> 00:42:58,800 us will never have a chance to see but 986 00:43:02,870 --> 00:43:00,800 you guys will see that and so we enjoy 987 00:43:04,710 --> 00:43:02,880 being able to to see your pictures and 988 00:43:06,710 --> 00:43:04,720 as easily as getting on twitter or 989 00:43:07,589 --> 00:43:06,720 facebook and all that so thank you for 990 00:43:09,829 --> 00:43:07,599 that 991 00:43:12,069 --> 00:43:09,839 all right we have one more reporter on 992 00:43:16,790 --> 00:43:12,079 the phone bridge barbara lebron with 993 00:43:23,670 --> 00:43:21,030 hi thank you i'm i just had a question 994 00:43:26,230 --> 00:43:23,680 about the cooperative nature of this do 995 00:43:28,550 --> 00:43:26,240 you see this as a model in any way for 996 00:43:32,069 --> 00:43:28,560 international cooperation other 997 00:43:35,589 --> 00:43:32,079 seemingly intractable issues 998 00:43:37,670 --> 00:43:35,599 that are out there that are out there 999 00:43:39,910 --> 00:43:37,680 absolutely you know this program has 1000 00:43:42,630 --> 00:43:39,920 been has been steady it's been 1001 00:43:45,270 --> 00:43:42,640 consistent and it's been reliable uh 1002 00:43:47,750 --> 00:43:45,280 when at the working level we are very 1003 00:43:49,910 --> 00:43:47,760 tight when i go over to train in russia 1004 00:43:51,990 --> 00:43:49,920 they treat me like their family and and 1005 00:43:53,910 --> 00:43:52,000 they're very interested in my success 1006 00:43:56,710 --> 00:43:53,920 and when folks from from russia come 1007 00:43:58,630 --> 00:43:56,720 over here uh they do exactly the same 1008 00:44:01,270 --> 00:43:58,640 thing same thing here and the same with 1009 00:44:02,630 --> 00:44:01,280 japan the same with europe the same as 1010 00:44:05,030 --> 00:44:02,640 any other country that we're working 1011 00:44:07,270 --> 00:44:05,040 with um i i think anybody in this 1012 00:44:09,510 --> 00:44:07,280 program will pretty much agree that that 1013 00:44:12,870 --> 00:44:09,520 this is a real good model for 1014 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:26,309 anything to add 1015 00:44:30,630 --> 00:44:28,470 i always had a dream of gathering 1016 00:44:32,710 --> 00:44:30,640 together the leaders of all the largest 1017 00:44:34,550 --> 00:44:32,720 uh countries in the world putting them 1018 00:44:50,309 --> 00:44:34,560 in one spaceship and launching them into 1019 00:44:54,390 --> 00:44:51,910 and the main reason not what you were 1020 00:44:57,109 --> 00:44:54,400 thinking is to 1021 00:45:02,150 --> 00:44:57,119 let them see our planet from space and 1022 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:14,069 by much 1023 00:45:18,230 --> 00:45:15,990 i hope that after they come back to 1024 00:45:20,150 --> 00:45:18,240 earth they will understand that iss is a 1025 00:45:21,910 --> 00:45:20,160 great example of how people with 1026 00:45:24,390 --> 00:45:21,920 different backgrounds coming from 1027 00:45:26,710 --> 00:45:24,400 different
