day my name is mark vande i 34 00:02:19,750 --> 00:02:12,080 am an expedition 65 crew member nasa 35 00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:22,070 amazing i know everybody but victor has 36 00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:24,400 been to space more than once 37 00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:26,080 but i also know that soichi has set a 38 00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:28,000 record for the longest time between 39 00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:31,599 space walks so soichi congratulations 40 00:02:34,309 --> 00:02:33,440 um i just have a quick question i want 41 00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:34,319 to know 42 00:02:38,470 --> 00:02:36,800 how has your perspective of earth 43 00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:38,480 changed after viewing it through the 44 00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:40,160 cupola 45 00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:42,160 and victor since this is your first 46 00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:43,840 space flight what are some of the 47 00:02:46,869 --> 00:02:45,200 impressions you'll take back with you 48 00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:46,879 from seeing earth from space for the 49 00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:54,470 yeah it's um interesting question how 50 00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:57,280 the earth has changed um over the 51 00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,200 it's actually been 10 years since i've 52 00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:01,280 been here and so 53 00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,599 a couple of things one thing 54 00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:05,360 when i was here last it was over the 55 00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:07,120 summer time this time it's been over the 56 00:03:10,630 --> 00:03:09,120 winter time and so the biggest 57 00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:10,640 difference i've seen is that the 58 00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:12,080 northern hemisphere was covered with 59 00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:13,840 snow and ice most of the time 60 00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:15,519 this time whereas last time it was all 61 00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:23,509 sean thank you for the question and um 62 00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:25,360 wow seeing earth from here is is quite 63 00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:27,280 spectacular in fact it's the most 64 00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:28,799 beautiful thing that i've seen up here 65 00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:30,640 looking out at the stars is great but 66 00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:33,120 seeing the earth is just so amazing and 67 00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:35,920 it also makes me realize how important 68 00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:37,760 it is that we do all that we can to take 69 00:03:48,309 --> 00:03:45,270 you know 70 00:03:50,789 --> 00:03:48,319 it's so incredible i'm literally here 71 00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:50,799 just like i cannot believe you guys are 72 00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:52,480 all the way up there it's i'm really 73 00:03:56,710 --> 00:03:54,400 amazing thank you again for for letting 74 00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:56,720 me hear to speak with you guys but um i 75 00:03:59,750 --> 00:03:58,560 know we have a ton of questions from 76 00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:59,760 followers and young people around the 77 00:04:02,070 --> 00:04:00,480 world 78 00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,080 about earth science and about the 79 00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:04,080 international space station so i'm just 80 00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:06,000 going to start with the questions so we 81 00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:07,439 have the first one and it comes from 82 00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:10,080 jason burton on twitter and jason says 83 00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:11,920 how long does it take to get to the 84 00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:14,640 space station and what speed is achieved 85 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,710 mark your mic is off 86 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,070 now with the microphone on 87 00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:35,030 um 88 00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:36,800 right now we're traveling five miles a 89 00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:38,960 second uh that means we travel or once 90 00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:41,360 around the planet every 90 minutes so 91 00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:44,400 every 24 hours we had 16 sunrises and 16 92 00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:45,680 sunsets 93 00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:47,919 for me on my the spacecraft that i used 94 00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:49,199 to get up here 95 00:04:55,830 --> 00:04:51,440 we arrived within uh three hours so 96 00:04:59,510 --> 00:04:57,749 and for the rest of us the the four of 97 00:05:02,390 --> 00:04:59,520 us we came up on again crew dragon 98 00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:02,400 resilience and uh you know the launch 99 00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:04,240 actually took about eight eight and a 100 00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:06,400 half minutes i think from the time we uh 101 00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:09,120 lit the rocket until we were in space 102 00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:11,360 and and then after that it took another 103 00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:14,400 24 27 hours before we actually docked to 104 00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:16,320 the international space station so we 105 00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:18,320 had a little bit of time on board uh 106 00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:20,400 resilience to have a few meals have us 107 00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:22,960 do a nap and things of that nature but 108 00:05:26,310 --> 00:05:24,960 it was actually very comfortable and but 109 00:05:31,270 --> 00:05:26,320 we were very excited when we got on 110 00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:33,990 that is so amazing um our next question 111 00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:35,680 we have is from jaden it's gonna be a 112 00:05:45,749 --> 00:05:44,629 my name's david i'm free mr astronaut 113 00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:45,759 i don't 114 00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:53,749 jaden that is an excellent question and 115 00:05:57,909 --> 00:05:56,639 you know there's ms astronaut as well 116 00:06:00,150 --> 00:05:57,919 um 117 00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:00,160 energy can be produced from a variety of 118 00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:02,639 ways you can use solar energy you can 119 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:04,800 get energy from water you can use 120 00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:07,440 gasoline you can burn coal there's even 121 00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:09,680 nuclear energy well in the space station 122 00:06:14,469 --> 00:06:12,080 what we have the most of is sunlight and 123 00:06:18,950 --> 00:06:14,479 so that is why we use solar energy to 124 00:06:23,110 --> 00:06:21,110 amazing 125 00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:23,120 super cute our next question is from 126 00:06:33,029 --> 00:06:31,110 hi my name is swan i am 10 years old and 127 00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:33,039 my question is what are some earth 128 00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:34,800 experiments you can do from the space 129 00:06:47,430 --> 00:06:44,629 so on my previous flight we did an 130 00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:47,440 experiment with trying to understand the 131 00:06:52,150 --> 00:06:50,160 sun's energy input into the earth and 132 00:06:53,909 --> 00:06:52,160 during expedition 65 we're going to do 133 00:06:55,189 --> 00:06:53,919 an experiment on 134 00:06:56,469 --> 00:06:55,199 cotton 135 00:06:58,469 --> 00:06:56,479 root systems we're trying to get a 136 00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:58,479 better understanding about how 137 00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:00,240 environmental factors like being in 138 00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:01,280 orbit 139 00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:04,000 the genes of seeds all those things 140 00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:04,880 affect 141 00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:06,960 the resilience of plants 142 00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:08,639 so we're really curious to see how those 143 00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:10,960 results work out and there's lots more 144 00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:15,189 and you know one of the other things we 145 00:07:19,830 --> 00:07:17,120 get to do in terms of experiments for 146 00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:19,840 the earth is we get to take pictures now 147 00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:22,160 that uh they call it work but it's also 148 00:07:26,150 --> 00:07:23,599 a lot of fun uh when we get to take 149 00:07:27,670 --> 00:07:26,160 pictures of the earth and uh and then 150 00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:27,680 people on the ground can analyze those 151 00:07:30,309 --> 00:07:28,880 pictures and and get a better 152 00:07:34,070 --> 00:07:30,319 understanding of what's going on down 153 00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:35,830 i love how you guys passed the mic it's 154 00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:39,039 just like a subtle toss across 155 00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:41,680 so the next question is from 156 00:07:46,629 --> 00:07:44,000 merit on twitter and merit says what 157 00:07:59,589 --> 00:07:46,639 types of projects will the expedition 65 158 00:08:03,589 --> 00:08:01,350 oh gosh we talked about solar arrays a 159 00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:03,599 little while ago we've got some improved 160 00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:05,120 roll out solar arrays that we're going 161 00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:08,080 to install continue to install on evas 162 00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:11,280 coming up so we're actually going to 163 00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:13,120 do a number of spacewalks i think the 164 00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:15,599 plan has four during exhibition 65 to 165 00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:17,919 make progress towards uh improving our 166 00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:27,430 thank you now we have 167 00:08:36,149 --> 00:08:30,160 raya with a very very important question 168 00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:37,909 i think there's an image 169 00:08:42,790 --> 00:08:39,760 do i have to click on the image 170 00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:42,800 i can i can read it rya says 171 00:08:52,829 --> 00:08:45,440 in what ways can a student contribute in 172 00:08:57,269 --> 00:08:55,509 protection you know one of the most 173 00:08:59,350 --> 00:08:57,279 important things you know we talk about 174 00:09:01,110 --> 00:08:59,360 recycling and and things like that but 175 00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:01,120 up here we have to also think about the 176 00:09:05,350 --> 00:09:03,120 way that we live and so all of us can 177 00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:05,360 consider how we live and what we consume 178 00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:07,279 and it's not just important to recycle 179 00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:09,760 recycling is important but also to reuse 180 00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:11,040 and i think that's something we do 181 00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:14,320 really well up here we recycle water we 182 00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:16,560 repurpose things like packaging 183 00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:18,240 to to use it for other 184 00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:19,440 purposes 185 00:09:23,590 --> 00:09:21,760 and then in reducing as well when we can 186 00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:23,600 reducing the things that we use but also 187 00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:25,600 reducing the things that we use because 188 00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:27,120 of the impact that the waste can have on 189 00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:28,720 the planet so that's something that we 190 00:09:33,829 --> 00:09:32,080 all can do better to take care of earth 191 00:09:34,870 --> 00:09:33,839 i think there's some other things to do 192 00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:34,880 as well 193 00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:36,880 nasa's got a lot of ways that students 194 00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:39,519 can participate in what we call citizen 195 00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:42,640 um science and so nasa's got projects 196 00:09:47,350 --> 00:09:44,160 out there that you can go to at 197 00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:49,509 and uh look at things because we are 198 00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:51,839 weird we need people all over the world 199 00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:53,760 to collect data for us and then other 200 00:09:58,070 --> 00:09:56,000 researchers take all that data such as 201 00:10:01,190 --> 00:09:58,080 the number of clouds how high the trees 202 00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:01,200 are when flowers start to bloom and uh 203 00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:03,120 they can understand what's happening 204 00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:05,600 around the world and then also if you 205 00:10:09,910 -->

00:10:20,949 --> 00:10:16,320 you guys do a lot of cool stuff um the 209 00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:22,310 um 210 00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:26,480 hi my name is hank and i am almost seven 211 00:10:39,829 --> 00:10:29,120 years old and my question is can you 212 00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:41,829 okay thanks for the very good question 213 00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:44,640 yes we can still study ocean from space 214 00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:46,880 actually this is the best place on earth 215 00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:49,839 to study ocean every day 216 00:10:53,990 --> 00:10:52,320 you know i would say more than half of 217 00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:54,000 the time we look out the window that's 218 00:10:59,110 --> 00:10:56,480 ocean and it's not boring actually every 219 00:11:01,509 --> 00:10:59,120 day is a different and a different color 220 00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:01,519 different wind and different clouds so 221 00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:02,640 it's so 222 00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:04,560 fascinating actually we take a lot of 223 00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:06,320 pictures of the ocean so hopefully that 224 00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:07,200 the 225 00:11:23,509 --> 00:11:22,310 hi my name is lenny i'm from bear 226 00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:23,519 delaware 227 00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:25,200 my question is 228 00:11:28,389 --> 00:11:27,360 can you say a volcano one thing from 229 00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:28,399 space 230 00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:31,040 my island is being affected by a volcano 231 00:11:36,949 --> 00:11:32,720 right now 232 00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:38,550 well thank you for that great question 233 00:11:42,790 --> 00:11:39,920 and that's great to hear your voice up 234 00:11:44,550 --> 00:11:42,800 here so we actually can see volcanoes as 235 00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:44,560 mark mentioned earlier we rotate around 236 00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:46,240 the earth once every 90 minutes so it 237 00:11:50,470 --> 00:11:48,560 depends on where we are in our orbit but 238 00:11:51,829 --> 00:11:50,480 we are able to see them and we're also 239 00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:51,839 able to see the effects that they can 240 00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:53,680 have just last week we were trying to 241 00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:56,320 get photos of the plume in the ash in 242 00:11:59,829 --> 00:11:58,480 the atmosphere because we're so high up 243 00:12:03,750 --> 00:11:59,839 that we can see it from this unique 244 00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:05,590 yeah actually that's very good 245 00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:08,320 good thing so our intention is to 246 00:12:12,629 --> 00:12:10,320 capture all the natural disasters 247 00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:12,639 happening on the ground and actually 248 00:12:17,910 --> 00:12:15,600 ionize more like a volcano hunters so we 249 00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:17,920 are catching all the volcanoes i got the 250 00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:20,959 mount autonomy in italy and volcano in 251 00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:23,120 kamchatka and he's looking for the 252 00:12:29,509 --> 00:12:24,399 caribbean but 253 00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:31,990 volcano hunters it's so good 254 00:12:35,590 --> 00:12:33,519 um 255 00:12:37,829 --> 00:12:35,600 so obviously food is such an important 256 00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:37,839 part of our daily lives as people of 257 00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:41,200 earth so floyd on twitter wants to know 258 00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:44,000 if any of you are vegetarian and if so 259 00:12:54,069 --> 00:12:52,069 now that is a great question i think 260 00:12:55,590 --> 00:12:54,079 right now we don't have any vegetarians 261 00:12:57,670 --> 00:12:55,600 in space but i will tell you that 262 00:12:59,350 --> 00:12:57,680 vegetables are my favorite thing to eat 263 00:13:01,430 --> 00:12:59,360 and so 264 00:13:03,829 --> 00:13:01,440 we eat a lot of vegetables up here and 265 00:13:05,269 --> 00:13:03,839 we even grow some some plants up here 266 00:13:07,430 --> 00:13:05,279 because one of the things we need to 267 00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:07,440 understand is if we're going to live in 268 00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:09,760 space for longer longer periods of time 269 00:13:13,269 --> 00:13:11,519 or if we're going to other places the 270 00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:13,279 moon or mars we're going to need to be 271 00:13:21,430 --> 00:13:15,279 able to grow our food and so we study 272 00:13:27,509 --> 00:13:24,150 the next absolutely adorable question is 273 00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:28,949 hi i'm 274 00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:30,160 five 275 00:13:38,310 --> 00:13:32,399 i keep looking for unicorns or not but 276 00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:41,670 have we seen any unicorns in space well 277 00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:44,800 so far the answer is no we have not seen 278 00:13:48,629 --> 00:13:46,320 any unicorns up here but we're going to 279 00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:48,639 keep looking and you know one place that 280 00:13:52,949 --> 00:13:50,560 we might actually have our best chance 281 00:13:54,949 --> 00:13:52,959 of seeing a unicorn is have you ever 282 00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:54,959 just laid out in your backyard and 283 00:13:58,389 --> 00:13:57,040 watched the clouds go by and you can see 284 00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:58,399 shapes up there 285 00:14:01,509 --> 00:13:59,920 well i tell you what we see a lot of 286 00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:01,519 clouds up here and i think we're all 287 00:14:05,189 --> 00:14:03,680 going to take an extra special look and 288 00:14:09,509 --> 00:14:05,199 see if we can't see a unicorn in the 289 00:14:14,389 --> 00:14:12,710 i'll be looking for some unicorns too 290 00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:14,399 so we imagine you guys get to see some 291 00:14:18,389 --> 00:14:16,639 incredible things none of us on earth 292 00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:18,399 could ever even imagine 293 00:14:23,910 --> 00:14:20,880 so our next question comes from sophia 294 00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:26,790 hi nasa i'm sophia and i'm in seventh 295 00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:29,279 grade and here's my question 296 00:14:34,550 --> 00:14:31,360 what is the most amazing thing that you 297 00:14:41,829 --> 00:14:34,560 can see on earth from space that you 298 00:14:45,910 --> 00:14:43,670 sophia that is a great question and i 299 00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:45,920 would say it was actually the very first 300 00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:47,360 view that i had when i looked out the 301 00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:49,600 window of crew dragon resilience and i 302 00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:52,720 could see so much of the earth you know 303 00:14:56,710 --> 00:14:54,720 humankind we invented telescopes and 304 00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:56,720 microscopes so that we could see things 305 00:15:01,189 --> 00:14:58,800 at our own level with our own eyes and 306 00:15:03,829 --> 00:15:01,199 so to be able to see an entire country 307 00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:03,839 or an entire ocean with my own eyes was 308 00:15:07,269 --> 00:15:05,600 truly amazing and so 309 00:15:12,069 --> 00:15:07,279 i really wish that more people could get 310 00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:13,750 also another thing that's amazing is we 311 00:15:18,310 --> 00:15:16,480 get to see the top of the atmosphere so 312 00:15:20,389 --> 00:15:18,320 looking at space 313 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:20,399 the atmosphere looks like a thin puddle 314 00:15:25,350 --> 00:15:23,199 of of atmosphere on top of the 315 00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:25,360 this beautiful rock we call home it 316 00:15:32,870 --> 00:15:28,000 seems like a very precious layer 317 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:38,710 next we have a question from julian 318 00:15:45,189 --> 00:15:41,910 happy earth day my name is joanne 319 00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:45,199 i'm four and a half years old 320 00:15:59,749 --> 00:15:47,920 my question is what is urban summer 321 00:16:04,470 --> 00:16:02,629 julian that's a great question and um 322 00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:04,480 you know i would say 323 00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:06,880 a short answer is that it's because we 324 00:16:12,230 --> 00:16:09,120 have so much water on the planet and 325 00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:12,240 clouds are one way that water is able to 326 00:16:17,749 --> 00:16:14,880 move around the earth which is so vital 327 00:16:20,310 --> 00:16:17,759 we have oceans and rivers we have rain 328 00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:20,320 and snow and clouds are just another 329 00:16:23,749 --> 00:16:22,480 form of water moving all over the planet 330 00:16:31,350 --> 00:16:23,759 that helps to keep us alive and 331 00:16:36,550 --> 00:16:34,629 i could watch you guys do this all day 332 00:16:40,389 --> 00:16:36,560 sevy and logan are asking something i've 333 00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:42,150 happy off day 334 00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:45,600 my name is debbie and i am five my name 335

the stars look 338 00:16:57,189 --> 00:16:54,639 different in the southern hemisphere 339 00:17:06,949 --> 00:16:57,199 than they do for us so we were wondering 340 00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:08,630 well thank you for the great questions 341 00:17:14,390 --> 00:17:11,199 actually we can see the stars from here 342 00:17:17,029 --> 00:17:14,400 actually the best view is uh from our 343 00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:17,039 own crew dragon resilience he has a vest 344 00:17:21,990 --> 00:17:19,760 view in town because from the dragon 345 00:17:24,789 --> 00:17:22,000 window we can see the the velocity 346 00:17:27,350 --> 00:17:24,799 vector the way we're flying into there's 347 00:17:29,669 --> 00:17:27,360 nothing blocking our view the other day 348 00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:29,679 we have we captured the very very 349 00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:32,880 beautiful milky way and it's just just 350 00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:35,280 out of out of our world so this is 351 00:17:40,150 --> 00:17:38,080 really the best view 352 00:17:42,549 --> 00:17:40,160 and i would add to that that up here you 353 00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:42,559 can see so many more stars than you can 354 00:17:46,070 --> 00:17:44,640 see they look pretty much like 355 00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:46,080 stars on the ground because we're not 356 00:17:50,630 --> 00:17:48,320 that much closer to the stars but you 357 00:17:51,990 --> 00:17:50,640 can see so many more because you don't 358 00:17:54,390 --> 00:17:52,000 have the clouds you don't have the 359 00:17:58,549 --> 00:17:54,400 atmosphere in the way you just have you 360 00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:02,310 so beautiful uh noah and yael are 361 00:18:19,750 --> 00:18:10,150 hi i'm noah i'm seven can you see 362 00:18:24,150 --> 00:18:21,990 so can you see hurricanes from space yes 363 00:18:26,470 --> 00:18:24,160 you can in fact as we've been talking up 364 00:18:27,909 --> 00:18:26,480 here you can see the whole hurricane and 365 00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:27,919 that's pretty neat to be able to see it 366 00:18:31,590 --> 00:18:30,400 you can see the eye and how it's forming 367 00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:31,600 uh but one of the things that's 368 00:18:35,190 --> 00:18:33,280 interesting about up here when you see 369 00:18:37,029 --> 00:18:35,200 that whole hurricane you're pretty 370 00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:37,039 amazed and you start taking pictures and 371 00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:39,760 all of that of it but then you forget 372 00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:41,840 that there are people in danger down on 373 00:18:44,549 --> 00:18:43,120 earth with the hurricanes and all that 374 00:18:46,549 --> 00:18:44,559 so sometimes it's easy to lose 375 00:18:48,070 --> 00:18:46,559 perspective up here of what's actually 376 00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:48,080 happening down on the earth so when we 377 00:18:52,070 --> 00:18:50,160 see those hurricanes we have to remind 378 00:18:54,830 --> 00:18:52,080 just how dangerous it is for everybody 379 00:19:00,070 --> 00:18:57,430 ground okay so there's one last question 380 00:19:01,590 --> 00:19:00,080 from me um and this is crazy but since 381 00:19:03,830 --> 00:19:01,600 we've been speaking you guys have 382 00:19:06,150 --> 00:19:03,840 traveled literally about halfway around 383 00:19:07,990 --> 00:19:06,160 the earth which is insanely surreal to 384 00:19:10,710 --> 00:19:08,000 think about um 385 00:19:12,230 --> 00:19:10,720 we all know that time is so precious so 386 00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:12,240 do you guys have any tips about how to 387 00:19:15,909 --> 00:19:14,320 save the time and be very precious and 388 00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:15,919 be very present in the moments we are 389 00:19:24,549 --> 00:19:22,549 well i think the first thing is just to 390 00:19:27,110 --> 00:19:24,559 really think about your question 391 00:19:29,590 --> 00:19:27,120 to be present to be in the moment to be 392 00:19:31,190 --> 00:19:29,600 intentional and be mindful i think just 393 00:19:35,350 --> 00:19:31,200 having that in your mind that you want 394 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:38,230 i think also is is to be grateful for 395 00:19:41,990 --> 00:19:40,400 your situation i know we are always we 396 00:19:43,990 --> 00:19:42,000 are all very grateful that we have this 397 00:19:46,789 --> 00:19:44,000 opportunity to be up here but we're also 398 00:19:49,110 --> 00:19:46,799 grateful for our friendships and getting 399 00:19:51,510 --> 00:19:49,120 to spend time together um it's kind of 400 00:19:55,510 --> 00:19:51,520 like a little family up here and and 401 00:19:58,950 --> 00:19:56,710 you know one of the other things that 402 00:20:00,310 --> 00:19:58,960 happens when we're up here um 403 00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:00,320 you know we talked about all these 404 00:20:03,830 --> 00:20:02,640 fantastic views of the earth but one of 405 00:20:05,510 --> 00:20:03,840 the other things that makes you do is it 406 00:20:08,870 --> 00:20:05,520 makes you miss
