00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,756
♫ Ah, invincible ... ♫

2
00:00:06,756 --> 00:00:09,325
♫ when we love. ♫

3
00:00:09,626 --> 00:00:12,996
Station, this is Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam.

4
00:00:13,563 --> 00:00:14,981
How do you hear me?

5
00:00:14,981 --> 00:00:16,866
We have you loud and clear, Eddie.

6
00:00:16,866 --> 00:00:19,803
Wow. This is quite an honor.

7
00:00:19,953 --> 00:00:22,138
Obviously, you're getting along
quite well.

8
00:00:22,572 --> 00:00:26,793
And I'm wondering if there are any lessons

9
00:00:26,793 --> 00:00:29,796
you can recommend to us
down here on Earth.

10
00:00:30,930 --> 00:00:33,650
I think one of the lessons learned
is that there's no borders up here.

11
00:00:33,650 --> 00:00:35,418
And so it's actually surprisingly hard

12
00:00:35,418 --> 00:00:39,239
to figure out where you're at over
the earth because it's all land and water.

13
00:00:39,255 --> 00:00:41,458
There's no recognizable lines.

14
00:00:41,474 --> 00:00:45,311
And so for us, it's a great reminder
that we're all on one earth,

15
00:00:45,311 --> 00:00:46,229
all working together.

16
00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:48,415
Living with so many different
nationalities up here,

17
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:51,718
we discover there were so much more
alike than we are different.

18
00:00:51,868 --> 00:00:53,753
During holidays,
we talk about our families and

19
00:00:53,753 --> 00:00:57,974
our traditions and get together with food
and with music and literature.

20
00:00:58,007 --> 00:00:59,692
We're definitely all one family.

21
00:00:59,692 --> 00:01:01,194
Your perspective is one that

22
00:01:02,362 --> 00:01:04,314
is so incredibly rare.

23
00:01:04,314 --> 00:01:06,533
Outer space doesn't feel separate.

24
00:01:06,583 --> 00:01:11,037
That thin layer of atmosphere, that's
all that separates us from outer space,

25
00:01:11,037 --> 00:01:15,442
so when you're standing on the Earth
and looking up, you, you are in

26
00:01:15,442 --> 00:01:19,512
outer space, you're just at the bottom
of this little puddle of air.

27
00:01:19,612 --> 00:01:22,065
And it's so important to protect it
and take care of it.

28
00:01:23,233 --> 00:01:26,786
The rainforest in Brazil, for example,
is getting smaller and smaller.

29
00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:29,839
And the area where people live
and where you can see

30
00:01:29,839 --> 00:01:32,992
from up here that there's agriculture
is getting bigger and bigger.

31
00:01:32,992 --> 00:01:36,913
And the border between you see flames and,
you know, like people are burning down

32
00:01:36,913 --> 00:01:38,214
again, the rainforest.

33
00:01:38,214 --> 00:01:42,769
And then on the other side of the country,
you see rivers being completely flooded

34
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:46,039
and probably lots of villages
and are taken down.

35
00:01:46,289 --> 00:01:47,640
And so people suffer.

36
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,310
And that is also a consequence
of the climate change.

37
00:01:50,977 --> 00:01:53,546
All this is very visible
from up here in space.

38
00:01:54,481 --> 00:01:57,867
Well, thanks so much for your interest
in the space program, Eddie,

39
00:01:57,867 --> 00:01:59,452
and your support of NASA.

40
00:01:59,452 --> 00:02:00,870
I knew I was excited about this.

41
00:02:00,870 --> 00:02:03,957
I didn't realize how emotional
it was going to be.

42
00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:07,193
I think because I want to be an astronaut
ever since I was a kid, too, you know.

43
00:02:07,227 --> 00:02:11,247
It means so much to us that you took
the time out of your day to speak to us

44
00:02:11,548 --> 00:02:15,401
and that you're helping carry
our awesome message for exploring

45
00:02:15,485 --> 00:02:18,421
not only our own planet,
but the Moon, Mars

46
00:02:18,421 --> 00:02:21,057
and all of the awesome research
we're doing. So thanks for your time.
