1
00:00:02,909 --> 00:00:06,079
As we look to work and live further out into space

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:13,160
it's important to understand how the human body and the biological systems that are on and around us are responding to that environment that

3
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,549
Information will allow us to keep astronauts safe and healthy

4
00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:26,629
So gene lab is an effort to maximize the reuse of precious spaceflight experiments

5
00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:33,079
Gene lab, does this through data system that allows anyone to download and analyze these data sets

6
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:37,459
Spaceflight experiments are unique because the spaceflight environment is unique

7
00:00:38,069 --> 00:00:38,989
for example

8
00:00:38,989 --> 00:00:46,428
The long-duration weightlessness we have on the International Space Station and the radiation environment inside the station are two things that we cannot

9
00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:48,799
Duplicate in detail on earth

10
00:00:49,469 --> 00:00:54,768
So if you want to understand the broad question of how biology responds to spaceflight it's really important to sample

11
00:00:55,350 --> 00:01:01,969
Biological diversity we have data from humans mice fruit flies worms fish squid

12
00:01:02,670 --> 00:01:07,009
Microbes and plants. It really runs the gamut of biological diversity

13
00:01:09,090 --> 00:01:16,130
What's remarkable about gene lab is the effort to take these very rare precious spaceflight experiments and to maximize

14
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:23,750
The the knowledge that we're getting from from that and we do that through providing the data in a curated fashion

15
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:25,320
That's easy to use

16
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:32,419
Putting it in context over their data sets and then bringing a community together to actually analyze that data and come up with new discoveries

17
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:40,930
Data and gene-lab are important for the Artemis mission and going forward to Mars because they tell us how living systems

18
00:01:41,390 --> 00:01:44,470
respond to spaceflight and you need that information to

19
00:01:45,650 --> 00:01:50,679
Keep the crew healthy and performing well, so as we move forward to the moon and on to Mars

20
00:01:51,650 --> 00:01:54,009
We're going to need a base of knowledge from which to make
