Greetings from the White House,\hwhich is where I am right now!

2
00:00:11,811 --> 00:00:17,350
Congratulations on all of your\hsuccess and just being women in space!

3
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:18,551
Hey, Madam Vice President ...

4
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:22,856
I can't believe we just got to say that\h
from the International Space Station.

5
00:00:24,391 --> 00:00:26,760
You all are such incredible role models.

6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,296
Tell us a little bit about what\h
work you are doing up there.

7
00:00:30,296 --> 00:00:31,664
What are you researching?

8
00:00:31,664 --> 00:00:35,435
We have so much research going on\h
up here, it is absolutely amazing.

9
00:00:35,435 --> 00:00:37,971
Just about every field you\hcan imagine

10
00:00:37,971 --> 00:00:42,075
This week I was working with some\h
free-floating satellites inside.

11
00:00:42,075 --> 00:00:43,743
Actually ...

12
00:00:43,743 --> 00:00:44,544
Whoa!

13
00:00:44,544 --> 00:00:46,079
We have one right here.

14
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:50,850
And so we're using this technology to\h
test out new things that will help us\h\h

15
00:00:50,850 --> 00:00:54,220
on future exploration missions\h
namely to the Moon and Mars.

16
00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:57,490
What we're\hhoping is to get these\h
robots to be able to maintain\h\h

17
00:00:57,490 --> 00:00:59,025
our vehicles when we're not around.

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,997
We've got over a hundred thousand\h
nematodes - little tiny worms.

19
00:01:03,997 --> 00:01:09,202
We're going to be studying those worms to look at\h
how muscle strength changes when you're in space.

20
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:14,074
What is your advice to our young girls and boys out there\h

21
00:01:14,641 --> 00:01:19,979
who maybe could never imagine themselves being astronauts, being scientists?

22
00:01:19,979 --> 00:01:24,851
Tell them about the joy that\hyou have in doing what you do.

23
00:01:24,851 --> 00:01:28,721
I don't think any of us ever really\h
thought we would be astronauts.

24
00:01:28,721 --> 00:01:31,991
I think this is pretty true\h
of everybody in our office,\h\h

25
00:01:31,991 --> 00:01:37,430
so I would encourage everybody who's even\h
thinking about it, just don't hold yourself back.

26
00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:41,434
I think everybody here, all of our crew\h
members, do what we do because we love it.

27
00:01:41,434 --> 00:01:43,036
We love every minute of it.

28
00:01:43,036 --> 00:01:44,537
And science can be like that.

29
00:01:44,537 --> 00:01:49,109
Science is hard work and people\hget scared by the coursework and they\h\h

30
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:51,277
think it's rigorous and it's\h
going to be too hard for them.

31
00:01:51,911 --> 00:01:53,313
Science is amazing!

32
00:01:53,313 --> 00:01:55,281
It is so much fun!

33
00:01:55,281 --> 00:01:58,151
It makes every day fun and we love it!\h

34
00:01:58,151 --> 00:02:00,453
And we love doing science in space!

35
00:02:00,453 --> 00:02:03,990
I want you guys to know how grateful we are.
