PRESS Q&A WITH ASTRONAUTS BACK FROM SPACE - Duration: 57:31.
good morning welcome to NASA's Johnson Space Center where we're joined today by
astronauts Peggy Whitson and Jeff Jack Fisher who are just recently returned a
little over a week ago from a long stay at the International Space Station they
landed on September 2nd and are here to tell us a little bit about their time
there Peggy spent about mine and half months in space and set several records
along the way including the most cumulative time for a u.s. astronaut in
space six hundred and sixty-five days over three missions and the most
consecutive time in space for a female astronaut 288 days on this mission and
Jack joined the space station in April for his first trip to space and spend
136 days there having the two of them his face together and the two of them in
space together along with several other crew members he rotated in out in and
out along the way let us get a lot of extra science done while they were there
and now we're gonna let them tell us a little bit about their their mission and
then we'll take questions well we had a fantastic time working together onboard
the space station we had lots of visiting vehicles over the timeframe we
had SpaceX's I think I were three when I was there and Cygnus which was great
cargo vehicle I was really surprised by the size of that we were able to get a
lot of trash in there train aided I'm thinking the the Knicks guys are
gonna be wishing they had their Cygnus a little sooner because I'm thinking
they're gonna have a lot of trash but the time that erectus but we the you
know we had opportunity to do some spacewalks which were always a blast and
you know it was fun in addition to you know being one of those very challenging
things to do physically mentally challenging things but it was a blast
but I think this time the thing that impressed me the most was the quality
and caliber of science that we're doing now I'm really was excited by it so I
had a great time yeah it was great and and since Peggy Artie
said everything we did I'm done no it's it was great to see and you know I don't
have a lot of experience in space obviously but working as a Capcom for a
long time I was able to see the the evolution of how we do operations on the
space station and the team now is just so much more efficient I think we ended
up averaging like 60 hours of science a week with just the two of us which you
know back in the day 30 hours of science for a whole crew was really amazing but
you're able to do that because they're leveraging so much of the operations
that you can do from the ground you know we're doing things with a robotic arm
now that are just amazing and almost incomprehensible you know five years ago
so we're able to catch a vehicle for instance and as soon as you've caught it
you put the brakes on you walk away you go back to work you get another five
hours of science done you come back five hours later it's time to open the hatch
because they've done everything else from the ground moved it over with the
robotic arm put it on the hatch run the bolts and they've just become so much
more efficient that this this flying oiled fine-tuned machine is able to
crank out a lot more science so it was great to be a part of that obviously to
be on orbit with with the space ninja and and fiatter was was fantastic
because she you know I got to learn from from the best so overall it's just a
fantastic mission and and it was great to represent this incredible team this
worldwide team that is rocking the science every day well we're glad to
have you back we're gonna switch things up a little bit today and start with
some questions from people who are following along online we've got a
Facebook live going on right now and you can send in your questions in the
comment section there or on twitter or instagram using the hashtag ask NASA but
we're gonna start with some of those questions and then come take questions
in the room so first of all for Peggy Gregory Edwards on Facebook asked if you
feel homesick for the space station now well actually a little bit there are
parts of it that I really miss but I'd been there long enough I think that
I was ready to come home especially to the toilet be able to flush I was ready
I think that point but it's funny because I could have stayed longer I
think wouldn't have been a problem but once like a couple weeks before landing
I made that switch in my head in it and then it was like okay that was the two
longest weeks of the mission was because once I decided I was ready to come home
then it was a long time to get here same for you jacquard was a little different
since you not there you know I definitely loved being up there and you
know floating around and playing with your food and looking out the window
just that's a whole lot of fun and and feeling like every day you're you're
able to be part of this team and make a difference but it's totally true once
you shift gears it was the same every time you know I
deployed once you shift gears in and you're thinking about coming home then
it it's it's a different mental state and you know we you have to play with
your mind a bit to make sure that you keep your motivation up over a long
mission obviously Peggy was there a lot longer but then once you make that that
final shift in the gear you're ready yeah and besides my wife is super odd so
when we have another one for you this one is from Stacy Hutchins on Facebook
and she asked if you have any tips or advice for her son Jack who also wants
to be a game well it's good it's can tough when you're younger because
there's lots of ways to make fun of Jack a jack-in-the-box Jack I I think that
that it's important for for everybody to just keep your eyes open as you're going
through life and try new things so that you can find that passion you know we
talked a lot the one piece of advice and you know I boiled it down to the last
thing my dad said to me which was I dare you to dream because you need to find
your passion that thing that really ignites your soul and then you need to
you know to do it nobody's gonna hand it to you
there's a lot of a lot of that in our world today that oh I deserve this and I
deserve that you don't deserve anything if you don't take what you were given
and make something of it and work really hard at it you're not going to
accomplish anything so that's kind of the advice to get keep your eyes open
and find that passion and then work really hard at it
I'll help you a lot of different ways I'm sure all right we're actually gonna
wrap up the Facebook live online now but if you want to keep tuning in you can go
to nasa.gov slash live meanwhile we're gonna start taking questions here on the
room but if you have a question on the phone bridge you can press star 1 to get
that question registered and if it gets answered you can press star 2 to dismiss
it all right we'll start over here with mark crow and if you can let us know who
your questions for well we'll try and get it answered you can space technology
minds for Peggy Whitson oh I wonder how you think your extended
mission will help contribute most to the goals of research that Scott and akele
we're doing on the 340 days is there is there data that will come from your
experience that will push that sort of knowledge set of what happens after six
months and towards a year that you think is extremely valuable I think we hadn't
originally planned for me to be up there that long so there was no you know
proactive science selection based on that however I was participating in one
of the big studies that were was accomplished during that one year which
was the fluid shift study looking at how fluid shift and changes in the eyes and
trying to better understand that process over a more extended period of time and
so with the exhibition extension we added additional data takes so that we
could gather that additional data and be another another end in the subject
count for that many of the other investigations also were able to expand
their data say data sets because I got to do additional data collections for
them as well so I do think there were some contributions it's still very small
and and human human studies have a huge variation in individual reactions so
it's it's good to have the additional data points I'm sure it contributes in
that sense it wasn't quite as long as they were up there but I think it
probably helps the scientists understand the progression so I think it was good
when the discussion of the one-year missions first came up I think that was
a little before we were kind of getting into the deep space gateway and the
potential there and I'm sort of drying on your experience as a researcher and
biochemistry and so forth but I'm wondering do you think doing more of
these long term missions on the space station would be a good thing or it
would be good to do them when you can and fold in the deep skate deep space
gateway long longer way to get the information you're seeking about whether
humans can trek to Mars yeah I think we do need additional information in
heading to Mars just about the human body and it's going to take some subject
numbers too in order to make the investigations have any significance to
determine you know is this just a and just because this person has this
unusual reaction or is this a common common result and so I do think we need
additional subject numbers for that there are a lot of things that I think
we will find change and Plateau but there are going to be some things that
continue to change and we need to better understand those those physiologic
things that continue to change in order to understand how it affects the human
body and make us better prepared when we do do the
long duration missions to Mars okay and I think we've got Robert Berlin ooh hi
Robert Perlman with collec space.com with a question for Peggy your first
Soyuz landing was rougher than most being a ballistic reentry
but you were coming back from fewer days in space and this time was a normal
landing but with longer days can you compare or you were able to determine
which was more harrowing on the body maybe even bringing in your shuttle
landing from your first flight once you're under the parachutes you're
falling at the same rate so you hit the ground at the same as long as the soft
landing engines fire you hit the ground at the same approximate speed we had a
windier day when I had the ballistic landing after expedition 16 and so we
bounced and rolled more than we did this time it still feels pretty much like a
pretty good car crash it was you know it's definitely a jolting so no I think
it's still pretty jolting experience a landing on the ground after a
long-duration mission I don't know that there was any particular difference I
think because we had gone through the ballistic reentry Ellen after expedition
16 you know I by the time we got to that it didn't seem as dramatic because we
had been basically shaking up quite a bit beforehand in in this case you know
when we the parachute opened it was very dramatic then because we hadn't been
shaken up in advance and so our body was just that was our first exposure to
gravity and being moved around like that and so it seemed more dramatic this time
so I think it just has to do with you know your body adapts very quickly to be
those feelings again but the initial response is
you know it's very stimulating provocative how you supposed to know
what it's gonna be like every day I for me that under the shoot was was
kind of fun because it was continuous motion but boy the good car crash that
was pretty exciting provocative all right go ahead I can ask
a follow-up for Jack this was your first flight and the space station has in in
recent years gained a lot of creature comforts projection screen having the IP
phone to be able to talk to family every weekend but as we look out going further
out into space those creature comforts are probably going to fall away how
important psychologically to making it through a 136 day mission or even longer
are those those nice connections to home or could you see going through the same
flight without having any of those or even connection back to earth you know
you'll have some form of connection back to earth and we've gotten very good at
that I would say comparing this to my deployments in the military this was way
better way better connectivity you know I was able to talk with my wife almost
every almost every day so it's amazingly good on the space station first time I
deployed couldn't talk to anybody for about a month and then one five-minute
phone call a week yeah it's it's it's important to maintain that connectivity
but I think doing video messages you know obviously there's going to be a
delay is is sufficient so I don't think it's it's something that you can't adapt
to we were spoiled on the space station it's it's fantastic but we can do with
less so I don't think it's gonna be a big showstopper for long-duration flight
all right I think we got another question here from Sophie Sophie Sanchez
but just a reminder that if you are on the phone bridge you can press star 1 to
get your question answered Sophie Sanchez Kosmic Chicago with
Chicago now I had a question for Peggy did you have any long-term spaceflight
challenges that you could use as teaching moments for our new astronauts
I think every day is kind of a challenge you know we are living and working with
people and in very close proximity we talked about our expeditionary crew
skills which I think are really important being able to help your
crewmates knowing when you know you're being a little crankier than you should
be and you know apologizing in advance and all that being able to get along is
extremely important in those situations so every day I think is is something
that you work together as a team you know some days we talked about you know
hey we did the sleep shift for an undocking and you know we need to do we
need to work together because we don't trust ourselves to do with the job you
know by yourself but being able to acknowledge that and accommodate that
makes you a much better team and so I think the experience those experiences
translate very well and it's something that we actually do teach our new
astronauts is you know how to use these techniques to work well with people and
to work more efficiently and to work more productively together and I think
Jack and I demonstrated a lot of those those capabilities that I think are very
important for our future crews as well
we truck big all right I do you think we have some questions on the phone now so
we're going to go to historical aerospace news media first
smart gaucho on the line okay really go ahead hello yes yes this question
first off I'd like to congratulate you both on this record-setting mission it
was absolutely incredible Peggy could you tell me what was the hardest part of
this long extended mission for you and on the flip side of that question can
you tell me what was the absolute high point of this mission that you will
never ever forget hi the hardest part I think would probably
be just I get bored with the food I like to cook and make things and you know you
only have a certain number of meals that you can play with or change or try you
know figure out how to change things up and so I get bored with with the food
and so that's I think something very challenging I told Jack when he first
arrived it's all about the sauce you just have to figure out which sauce you
want to try today and you'll eat whatever with it but it's all about this
sauce and so I think that's that's probably the biggest challenge for me in
terms of the single most highlight gosh it would be hard to pick a single most
point you know the EVs are always a highlight I think I think one specific
example would be during the battery aren't our EVs large palette and the
first one we had taken off and it had been dark and Shane and I had taken each
of us taken an adapter plate and gone and we installed it and we came back and
then it was lit lit then the palette was lit and the palette was this mirror
shiny metal and so you could see yourself which is like look I'm an
astronaut
and then you can see the reflection of beautiful earth behind you you know and
it was just like wow what an amazing job I have space walks we actually have a
question on Twitter from akia who asked how do you practice for an unplanned
spacewalk same way you practiced for a planned spacewalk it's all about
building the skills so we we spend a lot of time we have just a world-class
facility down the road with the neutral buoyancy laboratory and we we get in the
suit and you know practice using all the tools and getting used to the suit
itself I didn't I didn't find a whole lot of differences and and spacewalking
is is kind of intensely personal because our suit as you can see this poor fella
back here has got as arms go in the wrong direction so it can be hard to
work in and depending on your body anatomy you either fit it or don't and
so the differences between the pool and space are also personal for me it wasn't
very different and all the training that we had in the neutral buoyancy
laboratory of working with the tools and the suit and and and the tasks and
having kind of situational awareness of the station and and not getting lost
going to where you need to go it allows you to really do whatever you need to do
outside we're not we don't have the ability to get perfect on space locks
like they used to with the shuttle where you'd have a crew completely totally
perfectly trained for a spacewalk we have to be able to go out there and do
whatever because we're going up you know months in advance and maybe we're in
Russia for training all the time so you have to just be able to go outside and
and do it and then you know being able to go outside with with miss ninja
herself as is is nice because she has so much experience that that you're able to
really adapt to whatever the situation is and
yeah it's it's also so much fun alright let's go back to the film bridge I think
we have a question now from Creston news advertiser oh yeah my questions for
Peggy after spending so much time in training in space how do you draw on
what you've learned what you learned growing up in Beaconsfield Mount Ayr to
to practice there well I think you know being raised on a farm you learn a lot
about dedication and work ethic and and you get a healthy dose of stubborn to go
along with it and that gets a lot of jobs done that otherwise you might
consider impossible and I think watching watching my parents do things that you
know you had to you just had to figure out a way to fix it work around it
make it happen that that was part of you know how I grew up and I think that
applies on space station - all right and how about now
from space comm hi I was curious what the most amazing thing was each of you
saw out the window wall in space boy we saw an incredible roar I've seen
Aurora's before and one night I was on the IP phone talking to my husband and
I'm like you got to hang on I got to go get Jack this is amazing and it just
kept getting better and better and it was an amazing Aurora and I was awesome
that that was impressive yep this scale on this particular one it was just huge
it was you know usually you see an Aurora and it's kind of on the edge of
the horizon and sometimes it'll dance out a little bit toward you and this one
was like overhead and all the way to the horizon it was just amazing it was hey I
mean that and I hadn't taken a single picture at night and so I'm just
fumbling around trying to capture this and sucking at it and I think that same
night we saw that the Andromeda oh my gosh so I got better
at taking pictures but we never saw a roar like that again that was that was
truly breathtaking so the view was as good as promised oh you can't imagine
the view it's it's way better than than anything I could ever imagine being up
there was amazing okay how about next from Kazu magazine I
have a question for Peggy's our readers that Kazu are young girls ages 5 to 10
and you are such an amazing role model to them especially having a glides batch
and not program for 10 years in a row before being accepted so you never gave
up if a young girl in particular wants to become an astronaut or if she has any
seemingly impossible dream like he once did as a child what advice would you
give to her well I think Jack was right on in terms of choosing something that
you have a passion about I think that's probably the most important key to being
successful in whatever it is that you want to be you have to have a passion
for it but I also think for me in particular it was trying to do things a
little bit more than I thought I could living outside of that comfort zone you
know pushing myself challenging myself to do a little bit more I think is also
a very important lesson in life you you really have to push yourself to really
find out how far you really can go I think we had another question here in
the room earlier
hi my name is param EDA and I'm an intern here at NASA Johnson working with
the spacesuit group on the informatics system and so I asked this question to
the some of the ask hands last week or a few weeks ago but as experience TVA
crewmembers I would like to know if you had any sort of I guess dream additional
technologies to the EMU suit what would they be and that would you think would
help
would be great yeah I I did my first two spacewalks on this mission in the large
which is larger than the one I usually do did spacewalks in and you know I have
to admit I was I got done with those spacewalks and I thought you know a
little old to be doing this then I got to do two with Jack and he was wearing
the large so I have to wear the medium and that helped a lot I ended up so I'm
like okay I'm not as worthless as I thought Mike was I can move around them
and get around a little better but I think jumping me down to a small would
be just that much more of an increase in what you think you could do your
capabilities would be so I really think having a suit that fits is is very
important to your capabilities so Oh for me
the the reason that a small would be better is is because we reach so
everything is your arms outside I'm kind of built like a monkey so it works out
for me but you have to be able to have a larger anthropometric group of of
usability for for a spacesuit to be truly effective because not everybody
has monkey arms but they might have much better si so they can be better outside
so if you if you build it where it's not this huge reach around of all these
controls and everything right here then it would increase everybody's efficiency
and allow more people to be efficient outside and and that would be the
biggest improvement I think you could make on a spacesuit alright I think we
have some more questions I'm on line right now and remember that you can
submit yours on twitter or instagram using the hashtag ask nasa
justin on twitter i want to know what were some of your favorite experiments
she did while you were on the space station
well I I liked really liked the tissue culture experiments after I finished
graduate school I did a lot of research in tissue culture different types of
tissue culture get to culture heart cells bone cells
lung cells and lung cancer cells but probably the neatest investigation was
looking at one was growing these lung cancer cells using these magnetic
attachment points that were attached to the cells so they could clump more like
a tumor would and grow three dimensionally like a tumor would in your
body or you know on on the earth but the neat one was they took a new drug that
had an antibody to the cancer cells and so they were grown these little mini
tumors and we added the drug the antibody directed drug which would be
great for chemotherapy type studies you know because chemotherapy the reason
it's so hazardous to you is because it's killing so many other good cells while
it's trying to kill the cancer cells and this would be a targeted way to kill the
cancer cells and subjectively looking under the microscope it looked like it
was working so that was very cool do you do you notice that like the science
onboard space station has evolved over the years as well the the quantity is
definitely evolved we're doing much much more many different types of experiments
and that's exciting but I think the quality the the complexity is probably a
better word the complexity of the science we're doing is that greatly
improved and I think it's going to lead to some really exciting results just
like research here on the ground though it takes years to find out some of those
things I know from for instance one of the things from my first flight on
expedition 5 that's now used nowadays it's a filtration system and the study
was looking at plants growing soybeans in this little plant culture system but
because it had to have a special filtration air filtration system that
elf air filtration system is now used in surgical rooms and also used in wineries
to prevent infections and molds in your wines and
and you know how would you know that growing these soybeans would have led to
those things you don't know but I think that's kind of the neat part of doing
the research yeah absolutely and you showed us some great behind-the-scenes
videos on your speedy time videos of experiments and either absolutely like
well I love the the I nicknamed it the cancer seeking missiles so as a cancer
dad that one was was special to me and in the battle against that terrible
disease but I think another great advantage of of the science now is that
it's so much more flexible so we have you know an example is this nanorack
system that we put we put in the gym airlock the Japanese module airlock and
then we can put all these different satellites and what was it like
30-something satellites we in two weeks so it it's a capability where the
Japanese robotic arm grabs this launcher from the airlock puts it outside pukes
off these satellites and and they're they're a great capability to have a
lower-cost rapid turnaround of technology and then
we can investigate so many more things and NanoRacks and there's a lot of
examples with our cases partners that that were were able to get more science
quicker onto the station at a at a lower cost kind of build the infrastructure so
that we can investigate more things and I think that flexibility is going to
lead to a lot more of these type of discoveries as opposed to the you know
10 years to get it on the space station it's a it's a rapid cycle now and I
think it's exciting to see how much more we're gonna be able to do we have a lot
of different school experiments so elementary school experiments were in
these small little things and you know very simple but it's really neat I think
that they they actually got to have their science on the space station yeah
I actually got to work on one from my high school so how cool was that that is
high school in Colorado and boom how did it go yeah it worked great so they're
very smart thing they're they're much smarter than me I can't remember what it
does but it was also I think we have another question here in
the room thank you Steve Titus from Iowa's lien University you know I think
about the intellectual horsepower that is up on the space station and certainly
you've talked about the complex science that is going on what's the experience
like for the both of you and your own experiences spiritually being up there
well I think being there provides a perspective that makes you at peace it's
too bad we can't translate that too well I think you look out the window and you
can't help but feel that we're just one small part of a bigger whole you know
the the people I invited to to Ellington to meet us was my wife my daughter and
my priest because father Howard is was I think it's important we talked about
expeditionary behavior y8 it takes a lot to keep keep the light shining and to be
a good teammate and and crew member and and you gotta have a way to recharge the
battery and for me that was it and so father Howard was very important
to me and I think that experience and just seeing just this mind-blowing
beauty of the universe you just it grows your faith in ways
that it's hard to even describe alright I think we have a couple of follow-up
questions on the phone bridge here let's go back to the history historical
aerospace news media yes could you tell me you had mentioned your slightly rough
landing coming back from your mission did you do any maneuvers or tests
involving the future where astronauts will be sent and launched from Cape
Canaveral in spacex dragon capsules or boeing Starliner capsules in the future
did you do anything we did one experiment looking at a new
piece of exercise hardware it's much much smaller much more miniaturized it
smart I think not necessarily for the commercial providers but for Orion or
other distant exploration vehicles trying to to get our exercise device in
a much smaller volume the one we have now our resistive exercise device is
phenomenal and it works great but it takes up a large volume and so this was
trying to to use something smaller so we did some of the initial testing on that
you know obviously with most things it's got a little ways to go but we were
excited to be able to try out something that you know is going to be directly
applied to our lessons for exploration we actually have a Facebook question on
exercise they want to know how often you have to exercise in order to keep your
bones healthy go ahead we did about an hour of resistive exercise a day and
then we had options to do treadmill or bike us our gamma tree as our
cardiovascular conditioning system so as in each day it ended up being about two
hours a day of exercise so it was it's pretty intense but I enjoy it I think
it's a good for me it's a good you know psychological you know mellows me out
and makes me happy jack knows I get stressed on those days when when I can't
exercise because of this excellent experiment or that for me it was coffee
when the experiment you couldn't have coffee then I got a little got a little
antsy when she couldn't have exercise just kind of steer around her well
speaking of exercise I I know you did the great video sweetie time again
showing off the I read the advanced resistive exercise device it looks like
you pretty much mastered it yeah now it's it's a lot of fun and previously my
previous two missions we were using an interim device and it wasn't vibration
isolated so this one's much better because it can go much higher resistance
so lifting more weight but it also isolates the vibrations and protects the
scientific experiments that we're doing as well so that that was even better all
right I think we have another question Michael Kalinda for America space comm
for Peggy when did you find out that your mission was gonna be extended did
you have any previous idea and it was they talked to me about it the day
before my launch that it might be a possibility and it wasn't confirmed
until probably within a month of when I was supposed to be landing and maybe
even a little less and than that maybe a couple of weeks so it was out there as a
maybe so psychologically I told my husband we're gonna have a flexible plan
for happiness we're gonna be happy if I come home in June and we're gonna be
happy if I come home and so it worked out we were happy
all right another one from the phone bridge now from Creston news advertiser
you said in the interview that you think training and space travel gets easier as
you get older do you still stand by that well definitely sleeping in space is way
easier yeah I think the aches and pains that you feel down here you don't feel
them up there and in general much fewer aches and pains up in space and
zero-gravity just because it takes so little to move around so yeah I still
stand by that anything you feel like you didn't know going in that you you've
learned and you'll take in to your next mission oh boy it's so much I more sauce
sriracha more coffee no there's so much yeah and that and that's why I think
that the space station is getting so much better every single expedition
because we are learning and we're growing and we're evolving and there's
you know is interesting every time I'd grab a we call them CTB I don't even
know what CTV stands for bag maybe sieve and cargo transfer bag so
you'd pick it and there's velcro in different places and straps in different
places like with AK this is crazy why why are they there and then you'd stick
it someplace you'd be like that's why and so so many parts of this station are
better and more refined than they were that you can't help but grow and get
better and there's too many to list we I have a question from Twitter for
you from Stacy Smith he wants to know what's been the most difficult or a
comical adjustment for back to gravity uh Stacy I know Stacy is comical you
know it's interesting your brain adapts so quickly so when I got up to orbit the
brain has to go vestibular you are lying to me I'm not spinning I'm not doing
this I'm turning you off and so after about a week or so it just shuts it down
and you use your vision and kind of map out the environment and you you maneuver
that way coming home you know I was lucky enough had kind of adapted quickly
as long as my eyes were open and I was doing good and I was walking and you
close your eyes and wow we have this platform test that we stand there and
there's a reason you wear a harness because you close your eyes and I could
feel my legs you know just kind of going the brain trying to control it it's like
dude you've told me to ignore vestibular for all these months and now you want me
to use it that way and so you just fall over you know into the into the wall or
whatever it's it's the getting to use your vestibular again and and that
balance when your eyes are closed was you can you can ask the people that were
around me that was definitely comical all right I think we've got a couple of
follow-up questions here in the room from Robert first I Robert problem with
collects basic calm again we're just under a month from the sixtieth
anniversary of Sputnik and you went and so we went from having
one satellite in orbit to both of you actually becoming more or less tethered
satellites during spacewalks I wonder if there was any point during your mission
that that that legacy of advancement in space sort of struck you or just in
reflecting back on your mission what it means this past 60 years how far we've
come and where we're going I think for me kind of the one moment
was realizing we did the 200 spacewalk I remember when I first joined the
astronaut office everyone talked about the wall of EVs it's gonna be impossible
to build the space station because of the wall of EVs there were just too many
and it just wasn't gonna physically be able to be done you know we did it
mm-hmm it's pretty awesome I I think for me it was you know we launched our
launch was the first April launch since Yuri Gagarin and we even have wherever
our batch is we have little Sputnik on the patch because of the 60 years but I
think he and what he represented was was this amazing legacy that we were proud
to be a part of there's a little picture of him with the Dove I was a big old
smile and and I think that that opening of space for everyone and and being a
part of an international space station where we depended on each other every
day for all the systems for help for everything and what we're able to
accomplish every day on that space station is just amazing so I think for
both of us to be a part of that legacy and to show the world as you know
probably the best example of international cooperation in history we
are very proud to be a part of that
okay let's go back to Sophie now Sophie with cosmic Chicago again I'm a question
for both Jack and Peggy I'm gonna paraphrase a question that one of my
former Girl Scouts posed most of us aspire to be astronauts and go to space
now that you've lived the dream and been to space what's your next dream go ahead
you know I I think being a part of exploration any part of exploration is
is really interesting satisfying gratifying those are the things that
keep me going and so I something in space exploration I don't know what
exactly yeah haven't had time to think about it boy I
I don't know either what what I'm gonna do when I grow up there's a there's a
little plaque that my mom had in my bathroom growing up and I said what you
are is God's gift to you what you become is your gift to him and I think that
spaceflight as a gift we were given by the US taxpayer to get up there
and and get infected with this just passion for space I think it's our job
to do everything in our power to spread that and to infect as many people as we
can help build the infrastructure to to make sure that we have a permanent
foothold in space and I don't know how to do that best yet but that's what my
eyes are open to find it's a good infection
good infection it's a good infection you want this one well getting back to some
of the science questions that we talked about earlier we have code designs on
Twitter excuse me Katie on Twitter wants to know what's the advantage of doing an
experiment on space versus on the earth well the International Space Station is
a unique laboratory in a lot of ways it's the only one that can give you long
duration zero gravity and having microgravity as a variable
allows investigators to look at things in a different way that they can down
here on earth there's a lot of physical properties like the combustion
experiments that we were doing the flames just don't burn the same way and
they had what's called cool flames so something would burn you know they'd
inject these fuels and ignite them and they would appear to burn out and then
using special cameras they could see that these flames were actually still
burning but at a cool level that they can't see on earth because you know you
have too many convective forces working gravity and gravitational forces that
that don't allow it to happen and it helps us understand how things work on
the ground how burning and different combustion things work on the ground as
well but it's also important for our exploration missions because if we
better understand how to take advantage of this microgravity environment and
maybe burn more efficiently it could be a huge advantage in our future
exploration as well so there's just all kinds of ways that the lack of gravity
can provide a different twist on their understanding of a basic principle so
that we have here on the ground it's kind of like you're referring to earlier
we don't even always know what we're gonna learn can be used in the future I
have one here from Co designs on Twitter for you they want to know was Garth
Brooks the highlight of this space mission well I was sure cool you know my
favorite artist and my favorite song so having Garth sing never ever was was
amazing I think I it was my 20th anniversary on orbit so I got to marry
my wife again and that was kind of the highlight the spacewalks were great but
Garth doesn't beat my wife but he's pretty awesome alright and I think that
we also have another follow-up on the phone bridge from historical aerospace
news media yes this question is for Peggy Peggy can you tell me
you look fantastic returning from the extended stay
a long mission that you were on you look very well very good physically you look
strong and sound can you tell me did you notice physically any any pain in your
joints your knees your shoulders etc did you feel more strain on your eyes etc on
the extended length of this mission well if you're asking compared to pre-flight
now I had a lot of pain in my joints pre-flight so I don't know that I
noticed any more pain I think my back felt stiffer this time than before the
neurovestibular part seemed to come back a little quicker than it did on previous
flights so I think that's a learned thing I think that even though it been
eight years I think there is some learning that your brain remembers how
to switch back to earth earth mode versus microgravity mode and what was
the rest of the question I forgot all right maybe memory might be a problem
you know more strained on this extended length of your vision oh yeah no I don't
really think it made any difference my eyes actually right now are better than
they were when I launched which is a little unusual it didn't happen on
previous flights I think that has to do with old age and how your eyes have
changed and then how being in zero gravity kind of reshapes them so it
probably not gonna last more than thirty days they're giving me so but I'm like
I'll take advantage of it while I can we have another question from Facebook this
is a for from a teacher social sciences teacher for K through 12 who wants to
know if you have any advice for her girl students to become curious like you well
I think I think that historically if you look at studies they say that that girls
you know 50/50 are in the sign interested in the sciences and then
somewhere along the way our girls are either being persuaded or just
somehow into thinking that's not a good career choice for them or that's not a
life choice for them and so we need to figure out a way to to overcome that and
keep everybody interested from your childhood that you really kind of felt
the spark igniter wasn't always there I always had an interest in science from
when I was very young and so luckily nobody ever told me I I couldn't yeah I
had great role models all right one more question from Facebook from Linda
O'Conner she wants to know what do you miss most about living on the space
station floating floating floating it's awesome like I'm kind of a big good guy
but on the space station you kind of feel like a ballerina you don't wait
anything so you feel like you're flexible and you could do spins and
everything and then you come back and you're like yeah I'm not a ballerina
it's awesome it's a lot of fun floating is you don't get tired of it don't get
tired of sometimes losing the tools but you don't think we have a question kind
of back in the back here I brought you ice with me I was just wondering
there's such a diverse spectrum or breadth of facilities and capabilities
for research up on station and I was just wondering for each of you were you
partial to any particular facility or capability I know you mentioned some
conversation just randomly but was there anyone that you were part but partial to
for it's multidisciplinary capabilities and for the reason it gave you pause or
that there was a great unexpected result that you got at any given time and that
you couldn't wait to return to to doing or utilizing that particular capability
from a facility perspective I think that microgravity Sciences glovebox is
probably has the most diverse experiment types in it we did everything from
studies looking at how fluid and guests liquid air mixtures through wedded and
non wedded substances I've done superconductor crystals in there and
they get heat him up to over 800 degrees did the tissue culture in there and we
do rodent research in there there's so many different types of investigations
that can happen inside the msg I like it because of that flexibility but I still
think there's some really unique capabilities and many of the other
facilities that that we enjoyed working in all of them we did specialize a
little bit but you know it it it just helped for efficiency to specialize a
little bit but it was fun working on all of them it was yeah we we specialized
because there's only two of us for so long and to be able to get all the
science especially space x11 we kind of encompassed that alone and we we
specialized in different parts of the large science so that we could get more
and more efficient I did a lot in the the Japanese module and there's a lot of
great capabilities in there one of them is called elf it levitates little pieces
little balls of metal and then melts them with the laser that's just awesome
there's just an every single rack in the space station you can reconfigure as a
as a kid growing up on a construction site I I loved tinkering and and and
doing that and and working with the the racks to to repurpose them so I think in
general we've just gotten obviously the MSG is a specialized piece of equipment
that's amazing but I think the entire space station is full of that stuff that
you can repurpose and and really adapt to whatever the science is so it's a
it's an exciting place and I think the quantity of science that we were doing
now between between space sixes or cargo different cargo vehicles coming and
arriving we would reconfigure Express racks we just take
you know five six different lockers put them somewhere else bring out new sets
of hardware for the new investigations that were coming up on the next and that
was actually really cool that we could specialize the racks for the science
that we were doing I thought that was neat
comer and Paulo were like dude we're out all these holes in the racks it's like
wait till SpaceX twelve and within a week everything's full and they're just
cranking the science away it it was it was neat that's great I think we have a
follow-up your friend mark thank you Mark Karev I'm a VA ssin week I like to
ask both of you both expect to launch again and I am honestly especially
asking Peggy but I think it's a good question always to ask everyone who's
just come back what they're thinking about as far as flying again I'd love to
fly again I don't know that that's probably practical at this point but I
don't know you know if we keep doing commercial things maybe there will be an
option out there somewhere maybe somebody you want to hire a scientist to
go do their experiments Foreman space Edie for me you we talked about it it's
a gift and I don't ever expect that gift again you can't expect it I'd love to
fly but I'm gonna do as much as I can with what I've been given so far and I
and I think it's important for us to spread the wealth and get as many people
to experience that amazing place as possible I think we'd all love to see
both of you back in space um so we'll we'll hope for the best but I think
that's about all we have time for today here in our news conference if you want
to keep up with what's going on on the international space station you can do
so online at WWE
of course both of these folks are on social media you can follow along with
what they're doing on Twitter at astro Peggy and Astro two-fish also Facebook
NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson and Instagram for four Jack as well so
different opportunities there hope to see you again soon and this is NASA TV
