1 00:00:12,709 --> 00:00:08,629 station this is houston are you ready 2 00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:14,950 houston this is station we are ready for 3 00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:20,390 shaker heights school this is mission 4 00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:22,640 control houston please call station for 5 00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:27,910 station this is brian child here with 6 00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:35,270 how you doing sir we hear you loud and 7 00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:37,520 clear welcome aboard the international 8 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:51,990 thank you here's our first question 9 00:00:57,830 --> 00:00:55,270 my name is celia from fernway elementary 10 00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:57,840 my question is after all the training 11 00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:00,800 and preparations for going to the iss 12 00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:02,879 what is one thing you are not prepared 13 00:01:14,469 --> 00:01:11,670 wow that's a great question so we spend 14 00:01:16,149 --> 00:01:14,479 quite a few years getting ready 15 00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:16,159 to come up to the international space 16 00:01:25,109 --> 00:01:21,749 and the one thing that we cannot 17 00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:25,119 simulate on the ground is microgravity 18 00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:27,360 and things float while we're up here as 19 00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:28,560 you can see 20 00:01:33,749 --> 00:01:30,799 offload mark is floating 21 00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:33,759 and so it really takes a lot of effort 22 00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:35,920 to learn how to control that when i set 23 00:01:40,789 --> 00:01:37,920 things down on the ground you can let it 24 00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:40,799 go and it sits there but in space it'll 25 00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:42,000 float away 26 00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:43,680 and the way you deal with it is every 27 00:01:47,429 --> 00:01:46,000 now and then you lose things as we all 28 00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:47,439 know 29 00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:49,520 but then you learn to use velcro and you 30 00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:51,439 learn to keep track of all your stuff so 31 00:02:02,389 --> 00:01:52,720 it takes a little bit of time to get 32 00:02:09,050 --> 00:02:04,550 hi my name is benjamin 33 00:02:09,060 --> 00:02:12,309 [Music] 34 00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:17,589 my question is 35 00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:23,670 why are spaces fighting 36 00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:25,910 that's another great question so i can't 37 00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,840 say with certainty why they're white i 38 00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:29,280 can tell you that 39 00:02:33,990 --> 00:02:31,440 one of the things the benefits of a 40 00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:34,000 white spacesuit is that the color white 41 00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:36,640 reflects light better and absorbs heat 42 00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:39,040 worse so if you're in an environment 43 00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:41,680 where you need to reject heat as much as 44 00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:51,350 okay go ahead 45 00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:53,280 hi my name is leslie from woodbury 46 00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:55,440 elementary my question is 47 00:02:59,110 --> 00:02:57,360 do your cells in your body adapt to the 48 00:03:08,390 --> 00:02:59,120 change from being on earth to being in 49 00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:09,750 and i think the question was asking 50 00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:11,840 about how the body adapts to being in 51 00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:14,080 space hopefully 52 00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:16,800 so i'll answer that one it's amazing how 53 00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:18,959 the body can get used to being in a 54 00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:21,040 different environment so quickly the 55 00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:23,040 first couple of days for me personally i 56 00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:25,360 don't feel good when i come to space or 57 00:03:29,589 --> 00:03:27,760 when i go back to earth but after just a 58 00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:29,599 couple of days it feels like we were 59 00:03:34,070 --> 00:03:31,840 born to be in space you learn how to 60 00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:34,080 move you learn how to use your feet and 61 00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:36,959 it becomes very very natural so 62 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:38,720 our bodies are pretty good for adapting 63 00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:45,430 hi my name is haley from the middle 64 00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:48,000 school my question is we know you both 65 00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:50,400 took part in the recent space walks can 66 00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:52,080 you describe the first feeling you 67 00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:54,159 experienced when you were outside and 68 00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:56,000 saw the earth as you were floating above 69 00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:03,750 uh honestly my first thought was 70 00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:06,000 be careful don't make a mistake 71 00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:08,879 um we've trained a lot for that event 72 00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:12,080 but somehow the it really hit home when 73 00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:14,560 i was outside and i could look in any 74 00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:16,320 direction and see the horizon of the 75 00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:18,400 earth or the blackness of space 76 00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:20,400 and there was nothing between me and it 77 00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:21,440 and it 78 00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:23,280 literally other than some 79 00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:24,240 some 80 00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:29,120 few particles of the atmosphere um 81 00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:31,520 the very first impression i had was in 82 00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:32,800 the airlock 83 00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:34,560 where it's kind of a small tube if you 84 00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,720 can imagine two people in a tube 85 00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:38,479 there's lights on but it's all indoor 86 00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:39,520 lighting 87 00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:40,960 and then when the commander who was 88 00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:42,560 doing the space walk with me opened the 89 00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:43,840 hatch 90 00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:45,360 it suddenly felt like we were going 91 00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:47,280 outside because we got this intense 92 00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:48,960 bright light coming off of the earth 93 00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:51,199 reflected from the sun that came into 94 00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:52,800 the airlock and changed the feeling in 95 00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:54,960 the airlock and suddenly i felt like wow 96 00:05:05,670 --> 00:04:56,240 we're really going to go outside in 97 00:05:09,749 --> 00:05:07,510 hi my name is drake mccandlish from 98 00:05:17,830 --> 00:05:09,759 mercer elementary my question is what 99 00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:20,870 wow so when i was uh when i was really 100 00:05:26,469 --> 00:05:23,680 young probably younger than you 101 00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:26,479 i would watch the films and film is this 102 00:05:30,469 --> 00:05:28,800 old thing we used to use to watch to 103 00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:30,479 watch things 104 00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:33,280 and so i would watch the film of the 105 00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:35,360 astronauts walking on the moon as part 106 00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:37,360 of the apollo missions and i thought hey 107 00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:38,880 that's pretty cool i would love to do 108 00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:40,400 that someday 109 00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:42,560 of course it was just a dream of mine 110 00:05:47,029 --> 00:05:44,800 and then i read a lot of science fiction 111 00:05:48,550 --> 00:05:47,039 books and i still like them and i would 112 00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:48,560 read about people going to different 113 00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:50,560 planets and doing all kinds of crazy 114 00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:51,440 things 115 00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:52,960 and that just kind of kept the dream 116 00:05:56,309 --> 00:05:54,080 alive 117 00:05:59,270 --> 00:05:56,319 and so i think from a very young age i 118 00:06:00,629 --> 00:05:59,280 thought it'd be a cool job 119 00:06:01,830 --> 00:06:00,639 i thought it'd be great to go and 120 00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:01,840 explore 121 00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:04,880 and when i was teaching middle school 122 00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:06,720 before i became an astronaut i saw they 123 00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:08,800 were looking for astronauts and they 124 00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:10,960 wanted teachers to become astronauts and 125 00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:13,039 i said wow this is my chance maybe i can 126 00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:15,440 get the job and so i applied and 127 00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:17,360 here i am today on the space station so 128 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,110 hi my name 129 00:06:36,950 --> 00:06:34,550 my question is 130 00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:36,960 are you super scared while going out 131 00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:38,960 in space away from earth and while you 132 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:55,510 would you mind repeating that question 133 00:06:59,990 --> 00:06:57,670 hi my name is poplar from boulevard 134 00:07:01,749 --> 00:07:00,000 elementary my question is were you super 135 00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:01,759 scared about going out 136 00:07:10,070 --> 00:07:04,080 in space away from earth and while you 137 00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:11,189 um 138 00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:13,680 i i was there was certainly fear was a 139 00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:16,479 factor i was very attentive i'm not so 140 00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:19,360 certain i was afraid more of physical 141 00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:23,919 harm or afraid of just making a mistake 142 00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:25,680 there's so much invested in getting us 143 00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:27,440 ready that mike 144 00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:29,840 and so many people are supporting us 145 00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:31,440 that the last thing i want to do is let 146 00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:33,520 anybody down 147 00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:34,960 and i can tell you the second time i did 148 00:07:39,350 --> 00:07:36,400 a space walk 149 00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:39,360 that i really wasn't nearly as 150 00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:42,319 concerned as the first time i realized 151 00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:44,720 that physics was on my side and if i let 152 00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:47,280 go of something without pushing hard i 153 00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:49,360 would just stay floating right there so 154 00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:51,360 it took much less effort 155 00:07:56,390 --> 00:07:53,680 um when i when i really kind of started 156 00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:56,400 getting in an instinctual feel for the 157 00:08:01,270 --> 00:07:59,759 fact that uh unless i moved really fast 158 00:08:03,189 --> 00:08:01,280 i wasn't going to move very fast i was 159 00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:03,199 going to go ahead and stay put without 160 00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:22,869 elementary and my question is how do you 161 00:08:34,709 --> 00:08:32,790 yeah that's a really good question we 162 00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:34,719 don't have the supermarket so we can't 163 00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:36,560 go to the store to get food 164 00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:38,560 but we do have what we call cargo 165 00:08:43,509 --> 00:08:41,279 vehicles that will come up a few times a 166 00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:43,519 year we actually have one coming up in 167 00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:45,600 the next couple of weeks and it'll bring 168 00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:47,680 us all kinds of food all kinds of 169 00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:48,959 supplies 170 00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:50,720 but one thing we've been doing just 171 00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:54,480 recently is we're growing some plants so 172 00:08:57,509 --> 00:08:55,920 now we're kind of making our own food 173 00:09:03,829 --> 00:08:57,519 it's not a lot but we're learning how to 174 00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:06,470 hi my name is kirsten from 175 00:09:15,829 --> 00:09:09,600 roman elementary my question is how do 176 00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:17,990 so we're very fortunate because on the 177 00:09:21,990 --> 00:09:20,000 international space station we have an 178 00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:22,000 internet protocol phone so basically 179 00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:23,440 with satellites 180 00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:26,000 we're able to use the internet and talk 181 00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:28,080 to our families um it's not quite as 182 00:09:32,550 --> 00:09:30,160 good as being on the ground because 183 00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:32,560 so the space station has large objects 184 00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:34,959 that can interfere with the satellites 185 00:09:38,630 --> 00:09:36,720 so sometimes it's broken up but really 186 00:09:45,829 --> 00:09:38,640 it's very convenient we can we can dial 187 00:09:50,070 --> 00:09:47,910 hi my name is kira from the high school 188 00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:50,080 my question is were you able to see and 189 00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:52,080 predict the paths of hurricanes from 190 00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:00,550 well we can definitely 191 00:10:05,110 --> 00:10:03,040 see the hurricanes from up here and we 192 00:10:07,269 --> 00:10:05,120 can take a lot of great pictures that 193 00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:07,279 will help scientists learn how 194 00:10:10,870 --> 00:10:09,920 the hurricanes behave how the the clouds 195 00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:10,880 move 196 00:10:15,829 --> 00:10:12,959 we can't really predict where it's going 197 00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:15,839 to go as we're going around the earth we 198 00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:18,800 see it for a very short period of time 199 00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:21,920 but it is really really noticeable and 200 00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:24,720 again we try to provide information to 201 00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:26,240 those people on the ground either the 202 00:10:29,990 --> 00:10:28,160 scientists that are studying them or 203 00:10:32,069 --> 00:10:30,000 even people that are living potentially 204 00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:32,079 in the path of the hurricanes and then 205 00:10:36,230 --> 00:10:34,640 once they pass if we can also help out 206 00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:36,240 by taking pictures of what might have 207 00:10:40,069 --> 00:10:38,160 happened afterwards to help with the 208 00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:40,079 recovery effort so it's uh there is a 209 00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:41,360 lot we can do 210 00:10:44,949 --> 00:10:42,640 and it's one of the nice things about 211 00:10:47,030 --> 00:10:44,959 having humans in space is that we can 212 00:10:54,069 --> 00:10:47,040 act uh react very quickly to things that 213 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:54,870 okay 214 00:11:08,310 --> 00:10:56,240 my 215 00:11:11,829 --> 00:11:10,069 so i think it's important for us to go 216 00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:11,839 to space because 217 00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:14,480 it is a challenging endeavor that 218 00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:16,800 focuses our attention and the attention 219 00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:18,480 of science into 220 00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:20,240 learning new things 221 00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:23,440 uh it also gives us opportunities 222 00:11:27,910 --> 00:11:26,240 so first of all by by focusing on doing 223 00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:27,920 challenging things we end up with lots 224 00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:30,320 of what we call spin-off technologies 225 00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:32,720 things that we get unexpectedly that 226 00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:35,600 help our lives in the ground right away 227 00:11:39,190 --> 00:11:37,519 also because 228 00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:39,200 when you do science experiments it's 229 00:11:43,829 --> 00:11:42,160 good to take to try to change variables 230 00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:43,839 and see how things react to get a better 231 00:11:48,069 --> 00:11:45,680 understanding of how things work well 232 00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:48,079 here in the space station we're able to 233 00:11:49,829 --> 00:11:48,800 take 234 00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:49,839 we're able to have a sense of 235 00:11:53,509 --> 00:11:52,160 weightlessness up here and so then we 236 00:11:54,629 --> 00:11:53,519 can see how 237 00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:54,639 how 238 00:11:59,509 --> 00:11:56,959 things behave from combustion to plant 239 00:12:01,829 --> 00:11:59,519 growth without that 240 00:12:03,269 --> 00:12:01,839 sense of up or down to affect it and 241 00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:03,279 that helps us to better understand how 242 00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:05,040 things really work and then that helps 243 00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:07,360 us out in the future and then i really 244 00:12:10,870 --> 00:12:09,120 think the human spirit has a strong 245 00:12:13,829 --> 00:12:10,880 desire to explore 246 00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:13,839 and it helps us put perspective on where 247 00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:17,360 we live now and understand better 248 00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:19,360 how we got here and 249 00:12:32,550 --> 00:12:29,990 hi my name is ailey from woodbury 250 00:12:34,389 --> 00:12:32,560 elementary my question is if a serious 251 00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:34,399 emergency happened while you were in 252 00:12:36,949 --> 00:12:35,360 space 253 00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:36,959 what would you do and would you be able 254 00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:45,269 yes hopefully 255 00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:47,760 so we do train for various types of 256 00:12:50,949 --> 00:12:49,040 emergencies 257 00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:50,959 and they could be anything from maybe a 258 00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:53,200 fire or something might hit us and we 259 00:12:57,670 --> 00:12:55,360 get a hole in the space station 260 00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:57,680 maybe something goes into the atmosphere 261 00:13:01,430 --> 00:12:59,200 but then we could have one of us that 262 00:13:03,990 --> 00:13:01,440 might get sick 263 00:13:04,870 --> 00:13:04,000 we might injure ourselves doing work and 264 00:13:06,710 --> 00:13:04,880 so 265 00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:06,720 the first thing we would do 266 00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:09,040 it depends on what it is we'll react to 267 00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:11,200 the immediate emergency if it's a 268 00:13:16,069 --> 00:13:13,920 medical emergency we will call mission 269 00:13:17,829 --> 00:13:16,079 control and try to talk to one of the 270 00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:17,839 flight surgeons there 271 00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:19,600 we have some training but mark probably 272 00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:20,800 doesn't want me 273 00:13:23,590 --> 00:13:22,399 doing too much on him if he has an 274 00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:23,600 injury 275 00:13:28,069 --> 00:13:25,839 but having the ground help us in all 276 00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:28,079 cases is really important 277 00:13:32,710 --> 00:13:29,920 and if it is something super super 278 00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:32,720 serious we always have our 279 00:13:38,069 --> 00:13:35,200 soyuz spacecraft that brought us here 280 00:13:40,230 --> 00:13:38,079 and we can hop in that at any time 281 00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:40,240 and we can undock from the space station 282 00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:42,240 and then head back home so 283 00:13:45,670 --> 00:13:44,079 we train a lot for it 284 00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:45,680 we're fortunate so far everything's been 285 00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:48,720 going well and we'll continue to to keep 286 00:14:01,430 --> 00:13:58,550 hi my name is jalen 287 00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:01,440 from boulevard elementary my question is 288 00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:04,160 can you describe what a typical day on 289 00:14:10,389 --> 00:14:05,760 the is 290 00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:12,790 sure so basically i would say six in the 291 00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:14,800 morning is when we wake up 7 30 we have 292 00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:16,880 a meeting with the ground to talk about 293 00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:19,120 how the what's uh going to either 294 00:14:21,910 --> 00:14:20,480 changes or what's going to what's going 295 00:14:23,829 --> 00:14:21,920 to happen of the day 296 00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:23,839 we've got a schedule that's been 297 00:14:28,230 --> 00:14:26,000 uploaded for us and we we 298 00:14:30,150 --> 00:14:28,240 work that schedule the whole day 299 00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:30,160 typically we've got about an hour for 300 00:14:33,670 --> 00:14:31,680 lunch right 301 00:14:34,949 --> 00:14:33,680 yeah 302 00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:34,959 but we spent much less than that 303 00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:36,560 actually eating lunch 304 00:14:43,110 --> 00:14:41,600 and uh we work till about 7 30. 305 00:14:44,949 --> 00:14:43,120 part of the work day though includes a 306 00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:44,959 couple hours maybe two and a half hours 307 00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:46,880 to exercise 308 00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:50,160 and then after 7 30 we have 309 00:14:53,110 --> 00:14:51,839 at around 7 30 we have another meeting 310 00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:53,120 with the ground 311 00:15:02,470 --> 00:14:54,800 and then we have time to get ready for 312 00:15:09,110 --> 00:15:05,430 hi my name is anya 313 00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:09,120 from fernway elementary my question is 314 00:15:18,389 --> 00:15:12,000 what are the qualifications for going 315 00:15:22,389 --> 00:15:20,629 that's a pretty interesting question 316 00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:22,399 because when you look at the astronauts 317 00:15:27,269 --> 00:15:23,680 that are up here 318 00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:27,279 we all have very different backgrounds 319 00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:28,959 but the one thing that we all have in 320 00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:31,360 common is we all studied something in 321 00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:34,160 the sciences the engineer in engineering 322 00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:36,480 or mathematics 323 00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:39,440 and we all have a desire to be in the 324 00:15:42,389 --> 00:15:41,279 space and we all had the dream of coming 325 00:15:43,189 --> 00:15:42,399 to space 326 00:15:45,430 --> 00:15:43,199 so 327 00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:45,440 today if you want to become an astronaut 328 00:15:48,310 --> 00:15:47,040 you need to have a degree in one of 329 00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:48,320 those fields 330 00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:51,040 and then a certain amount of experience 331 00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:53,279 but hopefully someday we can have people 332 00:15:57,189 --> 00:15:54,720 go into space 333 00:15:59,030 --> 00:15:57,199 on a more regular basis because 334 00:16:01,269 --> 00:15:59,040 all of us have different qualifications 335 00:16:03,749 --> 00:16:01,279 and all of those can be very beneficial 336 00:16:15,749 --> 00:16:03,759 to living in space and maybe living on a 337 00:16:20,790 --> 00:16:18,230 hi my name is isaac from honoraway 338 00:16:40,629 --> 00:16:20,800 elementary my question is have you made 339 00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:42,470 there's so many important discoveries 340 00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:43,680 that we're trying to make sure we pick 341 00:16:57,030 --> 00:16:54,470 i can tell you just one that i'm aware 342 00:16:59,269 --> 00:16:57,040 of off the top of my head um and really 343 00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:59,279 i'm not sure that it was a discovery so 344 00:17:02,949 --> 00:17:01,440 much as a potential an item with 345 00:17:05,669 --> 00:17:02,959 potential 346 00:17:08,549 --> 00:17:05,679 there's a lot of hope that some lung 347 00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:08,559 tissues that we've grown on in the space 348 00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:10,000 station 349 00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:12,880 may help contribute to finding a cure 350 00:17:17,029 --> 00:17:14,240 for cancer 351 00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:17,039 there's also been a lot of 352 00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:19,120 uh learning about 353 00:17:24,069 --> 00:17:21,760 regenerating water and making it clean 354 00:17:27,189 --> 00:17:24,079 so we actually recycle all of our all 355 00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:27,199 the fluid from sweat to other stuff 356 00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:29,280 and uh 357 00:17:32,150 --> 00:17:30,960 that's a useful technology to use on the 358 00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:32,160 ground so that's helped contribute to 359 00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:34,000 making pure water in places where it's 360 00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:35,280 hard to get 361 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,110 it's good 362 00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:48,789 that's all i got right now 363 00:17:52,710 --> 00:17:49,590 hi 364 00:17:55,110 --> 00:17:52,720 my name is gabi from musa elementary my 365 00:18:03,110 --> 00:17:55,120 question is how come it's so hard to get 366 00:18:07,110 --> 00:18:05,029 so mark is the smart one so he's going 367 00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:07,120 to answer that one he he was a physics 368 00:18:14,310 --> 00:18:12,070 so it's hard getting through the earth's 369 00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:14,320 atmosphere just because of the speed 370 00:18:18,710 --> 00:18:16,480 that we are moving at so right now we're 371 00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:18,720 moving four miles a second 372 00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:20,400 and if we want to land on the earth we 373 00:18:24,789 --> 00:18:23,200 want to be going at roughly zero miles 374 00:18:26,710 --> 00:18:24,799 per second relative to the surface of 375 00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:26,720 the earth and we actually use the 376 00:18:30,630 --> 00:18:29,120 atmosphere to slow us down so that 377 00:18:32,390 --> 00:18:30,640 there's a lot of friction and that 378 00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:32,400 generates heat so 379 00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:34,000 that's why uh going through the 380 00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:36,000 atmosphere is hard it's just the speed 381 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,070 okay 382 00:18:47,820 --> 00:18:45,029 hi 383 00:18:59,990 --> 00:18:47,830 my name is 384 00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:01,510 i'm sorry can you repeat that question 385 00:19:13,909 --> 00:19:06,220 are there germs in space 386 00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:15,990 okay so the question about uh germs in 387 00:19:21,350 --> 00:19:17,360 space 388 00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:21,360 um 389 00:19:26,390 --> 00:19:23,520 i'm not sure why i looked at mark but uh 390 00:19:28,070 --> 00:19:26,400 so we all have germs in our body on the 391 00:19:30,789 --> 00:19:28,080 outside of our body 392 00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:30,799 but a lot of those are beneficial to us 393 00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:32,799 we do spend a lot of time cleaning the 394 00:19:37,669 --> 00:19:35,520 space station every weekend so if you 395 00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:37,679 think you have your chores at home we 396 00:19:41,909 --> 00:19:39,760 have hours as well where if you were to 397 00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:41,919 see us on a saturday morning we're like 398 00:19:45,110 --> 00:19:43,280 little ants running around cleaning the 399 00:19:47,270 --> 00:19:45,120 space station to make sure that some of 400 00:19:49,430 --> 00:19:47,280 those bad germs don't take place and 401 00:19:51,029 --> 00:19:49,440 start growing some more 402 00:20:18,149 --> 00:19:51,039 but we have them up here and they are 403 00:20:23,909 --> 00:20:20,310 station this is houston acr that 404 00:20:28,470 --> 00:20:26,230 thank you to all participants from 405 00:20:30,470 --> 00:20:28,480 shaker heights schools station we are 406 00:20:43,690 --> 00:20:30,480 now resuming operational audio
