00:00:17,417 --> 00:00:19,452
>> HELLO, MY NAME IS SANA.

10
00:00:19,452 --> 00:00:21,187
WHEN PEOPLE PRACTICE

11
00:00:21,187 --> 00:00:22,789
TO BE ASTRONAUTS,

12
00:00:22,789 --> 00:00:24,057
HOW DO THEY PRACTICE?

13
00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:25,692
YOU CAN'T JUST PULL AWAY,

14
00:00:25,692 --> 00:00:27,927
UM, GRAVITY FROM A PLACE.

15
00:00:27,927 --> 00:00:28,495
NO, YOU CAN'T,

16
00:00:28,495 --> 00:00:30,029
BECAUSE IT'S INVISIBLE.

17
00:00:30,029 --> 00:00:31,564
YOU CAN'T SEE IT,

18
00:00:31,564 --> 00:00:33,166

19
00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:33,700
>> WELL, SANA,

20
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:35,468
THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.

21
00:00:35,468 --> 00:00:36,603
IT IS SOMETHING THAT

22
00:00:36,603 --> 00:00:38,471
ALL OF THE NASA ENGINEERS

23
00:00:38,471 --> 00:00:39,639

EFFECTIVELY AS ASTRONAUTS.

27
00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:46,279
WE DO IT UNDER WATER

28
00:00:46,279 --> 00:00:48,081
IN A REALLY BIG POOL CALLED

30
00:00:50,183 --> 00:00:52,185

31
00:00:52,185 --> 00:00:53,420
SOME OF THOSE EFFECTS.

32
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:54,754
WE CAN MAINTAIN WHAT WE CALL

34
00:00:55,989 --> 00:00:57,257
WHERE WE DON'T FLOAT UP

35
00:00:57,257 --> 00:00:58,992
AND WE DON'T SINK DOWN.

36
00:00:58,992 --> 00:01:00,627

00:01:10,937 --> 00:01:11,838
FOR A LAUNCH,

43
00:01:11,838 --> 00:01:13,673
BECAUSE WE HAVE SPENT

44
00:01:13,673 --> 00:01:15,375
SO MANY HOURS TRAINING

00:01:15,375 --> 00:01:16,209
AND LEARNING HOW TO

00:01:16,209 --> 00:01:17,377
FLY THE SPACECRAFT.

47
00:01:17,377 --> 00:01:19,946
I ACTUALLY HAD TO REMIND MYSELF,

48
00:01:19,946 --> 00:01:21,915
WOW, THIS IS REAL THIS TIME.

49
00:01:21,915 --> 00:01:23,683
SO IT WAS INCREDIBLY EXCITING

50
00:01:23,683 --> 00:01:24,451
TO FINALLY START

51
00:01:24,451 --> 00:01:26,019
FEELING THOSE THINGS.

52
00:01:26,019 --> 00:01:26,686
YOU COULD FEEL

00:01:28,121 --> 00:01:28,922

THE ACCELERATION ON YOUR BODY.

56
00:01:31,291 --> 00:01:32,592
AND THEN, AFTER ONLY

57
00:01:32,592 --> 00:01:33,793
ABOUT EIGHT MINUTES,

58
00:01:33,793 --> 00:01:35,795
YOU'RE SUDDENLY WEIGHTLESS.

59
00:01:35,795 --> 00:01:37,197
AND THEN YOU WOULD REALIZE,

60
00:01:37,197 --> 00:01:38,398
OKAY, THIS IS REAL.

61
00:01:38,398 --> 00:01:39,966

63
00:01:42,368 --> 00:01:43,570
WE ARE ABLE TO BRING

64
00:01:43,570 --> 00:01:45,104
A FEW ITEMS WITH US,

65
00:01:45,104 --> 00:01:46,606
SOME PERSONAL ITEMS THAT

66
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:47,974
YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

THROUGHOUT YOUR MISSION.

68
00:01:49,309 --> 00:01:50,176
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

69
00:01:50,176 --> 00:01:51,945
I BROUGHT WAS MY PICCOLO.

[ "STAR WARS" THEME SONG ]

71
00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:03,223
I ALSO FLEW MY PANDA BEAR,

72
00:02:03,223 --> 00:02:04,691

73
00:02:04,691 --> 00:02:06,426

ALL AROUND THE PLANET,

77
00:02:10,063 --> 00:02:10,964
AND NOW HE'S ALSO

78
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:12,665
BEEN TO SPACE.

00:02:12,665 --> 00:02:14,067

00:02:19,138 --> 00:02:20,173
THAN THEY DO ON EARTH,

00:02:29,315 --> 00:02:29,949
WHAT WE HAVE IS

90
00:02:29,949 --> 00:02:31,150
A SLEEPING BAG,

91
00:02:31,150 --> 00:02:31,818

92
00:02:31,818 --> 00:02:33,152
AGAINST ONE OF THE WALLS,

93
00:02:33,152 --> 00:02:34,153
AND IT'S STRAPPED TO

94
00:02:34,153 --> 00:02:35,154
ONE OF THE WALLS SO THAT

95
00:02:35,154 --> 00:02:35,889
YOU CAN KIND OF KEEP

96
00:02:35,889 --> 00:02:37,290
YOURSELF IN POSITION.

97
00:02:37,290 --> 00:02:38,525

99
00:02:39,792 --> 00:02:40,827

I WRAPPED AROUND THE MIDDLE

101
00:02:42,095 --> 00:02:43,162

102

AND TRY TO KEEP THEM

103
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:45,331

104
00:02:45,331 --> 00:02:46,366

106
00:02:48,034 --> 00:02:48,968
LIKE THAT.

107
00:02:48,968 --> 00:02:50,169
USUALLY PEOPLE LIKE TO

108
00:02:50,169 --> 00:02:51,738
SECURE THEMSELVES A LITTLE BIT

109
00:02:51,738 --> 00:02:52,839

IS SOMETHING THAT YOU

116
00:03:01,047 --> 00:03:02,315
HAVE TO GET USED TO.

117
00:03:02,315 --> 00:03:03,182
ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IS

118
00:03:03,182 --> 00:03:04,183
TO GET TRAINING FROM

00:03:04,183 --> 00:03:05,285
ALL OF YOUR CREW MATES

120
00:03:05,285 --> 00:03:06,486
THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN UP THERE

121
00:03:06,486 --> 00:03:07,787
AND ALREADY USED TO USING

122
00:03:07,787 --> 00:03:09,722
EVERYTHING, LIKE THE TOILET.

123
00:03:09,722 --> 00:03:10,924
AND HOW THAT WORKS,

124
00:03:10,924 --> 00:03:12,492
WE ACTUALLY USE, LIKE,

125
00:03:12,492 --> 00:03:13,459
A VACUUM SYSTEM.

126
00:03:13,459 --> 00:03:14,561
SO IMAGINE IF YOU HAVE

127
00:03:14,561 --> 00:03:15,562
A VACUUM CLEANER AND YOU'RE

128
00:03:15,562 --> 00:03:17,330
SUCKING THINGS DOWN.

129
00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:18,731
WE TURN ON A BIG FAN,

130
00:03:18,731 --> 00:03:19,999
AND SO THAT'S PULLING EVERYTHING

131
00:03:19,999 --> 00:03:21,801
DOWN INTO THE TOILET.

132
00:03:21,801 --> 00:03:22,802
WE HAVE A LONG FUNNEL

133
00:03:22,802 --> 00:03:24,003
THAT WE USE TO COLLECT

134
00:03:24,003 --> 00:03:25,338
ALL OF THE URINE.

135
00:03:25,338 --> 00:03:27,273
AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER SEAT

136
00:03:27,273 --> 00:03:28,241
THAT YOU CAN SIT ON,

137
00:03:28,241 --> 00:03:30,243
AGAIN, WITH THAT FAN

138
00:03:30,243 --> 00:03:31,244
PULLING THINGS THROUGH

139
00:03:31,244 --> 00:03:32,178
TO COLLECT EVERYTHING

140
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:33,446
AND KEEP IT CONTAINED,

141
00:03:33,446 --> 00:03:34,147
WHICH OF COURSE,

142
00:03:34,147 --> 00:03:35,248
IS THE MOST IMPORTANT

00:03:35,248 --> 00:03:36,482
PART ON THE SPACE STATION.

144
00:03:36,482 --> 00:03:37,684
YOU DON'T WANNA HAVE

145
00:03:37,684 --> 00:03:39,619

[ REWINDING ]

147
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,821
...FLOATING AROUND.

148
00:03:41,821 --> 00:03:42,889
AND IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING

149
00:03:42,889 --> 00:03:43,890
FOR ME IN THE BEGINNING

150
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:45,258
IN THOSE FIRST FEW DAYS,

151
00:03:45,258 --> 00:03:46,759
YOUR BODY IS SENSING THINGS

152
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:47,594
DIFFERENTLY, TOO,

153
00:03:47,594 --> 00:03:48,494
WITHOUT GRAVITY.

154
00:03:48,494 --> 00:03:49,329
YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING--

155
00:03:49,329 --> 00:03:50,730
INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS,

156
00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:51,331
EVERYTHING IS

157
00:03:51,331 --> 00:03:52,999
KIND OF LIFTED UP.

158
00:03:52,999 --> 00:03:54,534
AND SO SOME OF THOSE

159
00:03:54,534 --> 00:03:56,636
PRESSURE SENSORS THAT

160
00:03:56,636 --> 00:03:57,837
GIVE YOU THAT FEELING THAT

161
00:03:57,837 --> 00:03:58,972
YOU NEED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM,

162
00:03:58,972 --> 00:04:00,239
THAT FEELING OF FULLNESS

163
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:01,307
IN YOU BLADDER,

164
00:04:01,307 --> 00:04:02,775
THAT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF TIME

165
00:04:02,775 --> 00:04:04,444
TO ADJUST TO SPACE AS WELL.

166
00:04:04,444 --> 00:04:05,144

169
00:04:08,081 --> 00:04:09,449
THIS NEW TOILET IS GOING TO BE

170
00:04:09,449 --> 00:04:10,850
A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO USE

00:04:10,850 --> 00:04:12,585
FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.

172
00:04:12,585 --> 00:04:13,519
OF COURSE, THERE ARE SOME

173
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:14,887
ANATOMICAL DIFFERENCE,

174
00:04:14,887 --> 00:04:15,922

VERSIONS DIDN'T

176

FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN,

179
00:04:21,294 --> 00:04:21,961

182
00:04:24,564 --> 00:04:25,398
IT'LL ALSO INCREASE

183
00:04:25,398 --> 00:04:26,199
THE CAPACITY.

184
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:27,233
WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER TOILET

185
00:04:27,233 --> 00:04:28,468
ONBOARD THE SPACE STATION.

186
00:04:28,468 --> 00:04:30,003
WE CAN CONTINUE TO TEST

187
00:04:30,003 --> 00:04:31,738
AND REFINE THESE TECHNOLOGIES

188
00:04:31,738 --> 00:04:33,373
THAT WILL BE USED ON THE FUTURE

00:04:42,181 --> 00:04:44,017
MENSTRUAL CYCLE WHEN WE GO

195
00:04:44,017 --> 00:04:45,251
ON OUR SPACE MISSIONS,

196
00:04:45,251 --> 00:04:46,085
JUST TO MAKE THINGS

197
00:04:46,085 --> 00:04:47,954
A LITTLE BIT MORE CONVENIENT.

198
00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:48,888
IT CERTAINLY IS NOT

199
00:04:48,888 --> 00:04:49,956
A REQUIREMENT.

200
00:04:49,956 --> 00:04:51,090
ALL OF THOSE FUNCTIONS

201
00:04:51,090 --> 00:04:53,126
CAN GO EXACTLY AS THEY DO

202
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:54,093
DOWN ON EARTH.

203
00:04:54,093 --> 00:04:55,228
WE HAVE SUPPLIES UP THERE

204
00:04:55,228 --> 00:04:56,729
AS NEEDED AND WE CAN

205
00:04:56,729 --> 00:04:57,864
ACCOMMODATE IT WITH ALL

206
00:04:57,864 --> 00:04:58,698
OF THE HARDWARE THAT WE

207
00:04:58,698 --> 00:05:00,333
HAVE FOR THE TOILET.

208
00:05:00,333 --> 00:05:01,501
TO WASH OUR HAIR,

209
00:05:01,501 --> 00:05:02,635
WE TAKE A DRINK BAG,

210
00:05:02,635 --> 00:05:03,369
JUST LIKE THE NORMAL

211
00:05:03,369 --> 00:05:04,671
DRINK BAGS WE USE,

212
00:05:04,671 --> 00:05:05,938
SO I'LL GET MY HAIR

213
00:05:05,938 --> 00:05:07,140
NICE AND WET,

214
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:07,840
AND YOU HAVE TO JUST

215
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:09,575
TAKE THAT WATER AND GET IT--

216
00:05:09,575 --> 00:05:11,010
TOUCH RIGHT UP TO YOUR HAIR

217
00:05:11,010 --> 00:05:11,577
SO THAT IT STICKS

218
00:05:11,577 --> 00:05:12,745
ONTO YOUR HAIR,

219
00:05:12,745 --> 00:05:13,713
AND THEN YOU'LL

220
00:05:13,713 --> 00:05:15,415
RINSE IT ALL AROUND,

221
00:05:15,415 --> 00:05:16,716
APPLY YOUR SHAMPOO,

222
00:05:16,716 --> 00:05:18,017
RINSE IT AGAIN,

223
00:05:18,017 --> 00:05:19,652
AND THEN TOWEL IT OFF.

224
00:05:19,652 --> 00:05:20,420
IT'S PRETTY SIMILAR

225
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:21,220
TO WASHING YOUR HAIR

226
00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:23,122
ON THE GROUND.

227
00:05:23,122 --> 00:05:24,223
THE FOOD THAT WE EAT ON

228
00:05:24,223 --> 00:05:25,658
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

229
00:05:25,658 --> 00:05:27,493
IS DELICIOUS THESE DAYS.

230
00:05:27,493 --> 00:05:29,028
IT'S REALLY NOT THAT KIND OF

231
00:05:29,028 --> 00:05:30,563
FREEZE-DRIED ICE CREAM THING

232
00:05:30,563 --> 00:05:31,964
THAT PEOPLE HAVE THIS

233
00:05:31,964 --> 00:05:33,633
IDEA THAT WE EAT.

234
00:05:33,633 --> 00:05:35,501
WE HAVE AN ENTIRE LAB AT

235
00:05:35,501 --> 00:05:37,437
THE NASA JOHNSON SPACE CENTER

236
00:05:37,437 --> 00:05:38,705
THAT IS ALWAYS DEVELOPING

237
00:05:38,705 --> 00:05:40,606
NEW AND DELICIOUS FOODS,

238
00:05:40,606 --> 00:05:42,141
AND I WAS EVEN A SUBJECT

239
00:05:42,141 --> 00:05:43,676
FOR AN EXPERIMENT UP THERE

240
00:05:43,676 --> 00:05:45,712
CALLED FOOD PHYSIOLOGY

241
00:05:45,712 --> 00:05:46,979
WHERE I HAD A WHOLE DIFFERENT

242
00:05:46,979 --> 00:05:47,947
KIND OF MENU.

243
00:05:47,947 --> 00:05:49,882
THINGS LIKE MORE FISHES,

244
00:05:49,882 --> 00:05:51,350
HIGHER OMEGA-3s,

245
00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:52,085
MORE LYCOPENE,

246
00:05:52,085 --> 00:05:53,319
MORE VEGETABLES.

247
00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:54,253
I WOULD SAY THE ONLY THING

248
00:05:54,253 --> 00:05:56,022
THAT IS LACKING AS SORT OF

249
00:05:56,022 --> 00:05:57,523
A FOODIE HERE ON EARTH

250
00:05:57,523 --> 00:06:00,226
IS THE PRESENTATION.

251
00:06:00,226 --> 00:06:01,627
YOU NEVER FORGET THAT FIRST

252
00:06:01,627 --> 00:06:03,496
MOMENT WHEN THE HATCH OPENS

253
00:06:03,496 --> 00:06:04,564
AND YOU TAKE YOUR

254
00:06:04,564 --> 00:06:05,998
FIRST MOVEMENTS OUT OF

255
00:06:05,998 --> 00:06:06,999
THE SPACE STATION

256
00:06:06,999 --> 00:06:08,968
AND INTO THE VOID OF SPACE.

257
00:06:08,968 --> 00:06:10,436
NOTHING ELSE BETWEEN

258
00:06:10,436 --> 00:06:13,272
MY BOOTS AND THE EARTH BELOW.

259
00:06:13,272 --> 00:06:14,373
AND YOU GET MUCH MORE OF

260
00:06:14,373 --> 00:06:15,308
A SENSE OF MOTION

261
00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:16,809
WHEN YOU'RE ON SPACEWALK

262
00:06:16,809 --> 00:06:18,778
OF HOW QUICKLY WE'RE MOVING,

263
00:06:18,778 --> 00:06:19,912
PASSING OVER THE EARTH

264
00:06:19,912 --> 00:06:23,082
17,500 MILES PER HOUR,

265
00:06:23,082 --> 00:06:24,917
GOING AROUND THE ENTIRE PLANET

266
00:06:24,917 --> 00:06:26,552
EVERY 90 MINUTES.

267
00:06:26,552 --> 00:06:28,221
YOU'RE IN THE SPACE SUIT

268
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:29,489
AND YOUR BODY IS KIND OF

269
00:06:29,489 --> 00:06:31,090
AT A STRANGE ANGLE

270
00:06:31,090 --> 00:06:34,026
AND IT'S 450 POUNDS OF MASS

271
00:06:34,026 --> 00:06:35,561
THAT YOU NEED TO MOVE AROUND,

272
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:36,662
AND EVERY MOVEMENT IS

273
00:06:36,662 --> 00:06:38,464
PRESSURIZED WITH YOUR HANDS.

274
00:06:38,464 --> 00:06:40,032
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, THOUGH,

275
00:06:40,032 --> 00:06:41,801
YOU DO NEED TO REMIND YOURSELF

276
00:06:41,801 --> 00:06:43,302
JUST TO TAKE A MOMENT

277
00:06:43,302 --> 00:06:44,771
AND ENJOY WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

278
00:06:44,771 --> 00:06:45,872
APPRECIATE IT.

279
00:06:49,642 --> 00:06:50,510
CHRISTINA AND I BOTH

280
00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:51,811
FELT SO PRIVILEGED

281
00:06:51,811 --> 00:06:54,447
TO HAVE HAD ANY TYPE OF ROLE

282
00:06:54,447 --> 00:06:55,815
IN THAT HISTORIC EVENT.

283
00:06:55,815 --> 00:06:57,383
AND FOR US, I THINK IT WAS

284
00:06:57,383 --> 00:06:58,151
THE MOST IMPORTANT,

285
00:06:58,151 --> 00:06:58,951
NOT FOR OUR

286
00:06:58,951 --> 00:07:00,486
PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENTS,

287
00:07:00,486 --> 00:07:01,888
BUT REALLY FOR THE GENERATIONS

288
00:07:01,888 --> 00:07:03,656
OF WOMEN AND MINORITIES

289
00:07:03,656 --> 00:07:05,158
THAT WERE PUSHING THE ENVELOPE

290
00:07:05,158 --> 00:07:05,958
WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE

291
00:07:05,958 --> 00:07:07,360
A SEAT AT THE TABLE.

292
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,261
BUT THAT DAY,

293
00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:09,896
SO MANY PEOPLE WERE WATCHING

294
00:07:09,896 --> 00:07:12,131
AND SO MANY PEOPLE WERE EXCITED.

295
00:07:12,131 --> 00:07:13,366
PEOPLE OF ALL AGES.

296
00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:15,968
YOUNG GIRLS, YOUNG BOYS, TOO,

297
00:07:15,968 --> 00:07:16,769
AND ONE OF THE THINGS

298
00:07:16,769 --> 00:07:18,271
THAT IT BROUGHT TO MIND

299
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:20,139
WAS THAT ANYBODY CAN

300
00:07:20,139 --> 00:07:21,374
ACCOMPLISH THEIR DREAM,

301
00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:22,708
NO MATTER WHO WE ARE,

302
00:07:22,708 --> 00:07:23,643
WHAT WE LOOK LIKE,

303
00:07:23,643 --> 00:07:25,344
OR WHAT OUR BACKGROUND IS,

304
00:07:25,344 --> 00:07:26,879
THOSE POSSIBILITIES ARE

305
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:29,448
OPEN TO EVERYBODY.

306
00:07:29,448 --> 00:07:29,882
>> DO YOU HAVE

307
00:07:29,882 --> 00:07:31,717
A QUESTION FOR NASA?
