>> FOR THE FIRST TIME,
I'M ABOUT TO ATTEMPT A TRIPLE,
SO HERE WE GO.
[ MUSIC ]
>> HI, CAN YOU ARM WRESTLE
IN SPACE?
>> HEY, RACHEL, UH,
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
I AM, UH, READY TO FIGHT TODAY
WITH SHANNON,
SO I GIVE YOU THE ARM WRESTLING
IN SPACE.
HERE WE GO.
>> HERE WE GO.
>> READY?
[ GRUNTING ]
>> I THINK I WON THAT ONE.
[ MUSIC ]
>> WHAT WOULD YOU GET AS A GIFT
FOR A KID FROM SPACE?
>> UH, THAT'S
A FANTASTIC QUESTION.
IF THERE WAS A KID FROM SPACE
AND WE WERE TO FIND OUT
IT'S SOMEBODY WHO GREW UP
IN AN ENVIRONMENT IN ORBIT,
UM, WITHOUT STANDING
ON A PLANETARY OBJECT,
I WOULD WANNA GIVE THEM
A WALKING STICK,
BECAUSE I THINK THEY'D HAVE
A HARD TIME
DEALING WITH STANDING
ON A SURFACE AND BEING ABLE
TO MOVE AROUND VERY WELL.
[ MUSIC ]
>> AS A GARDENER, MY QUESTION
IS IF YOU WILL EVER SEE
A FUTURE FOR MAKING A GARDEN
ON THE MOON OR MARS?
>> I THINK IT IS ABSOLUTELY
IMPORTANT THAT WE FIGURE OUT
HOW TO HAVE A GARDEN, UH,
OR GARDENS ON-ON THE MOON
AND ON MARS, AND I THINK NASA
IS VERY INTERESTED
IN MAKING SURE THAT WE KNOW
HOW TO DO THAT
WHEN THE TIME COMES.
[ MUSIC ]
>> WHAT DOES IT SMELL LIKE
IN SPACE?
>> AND IT'S KINDA HARD
TO DESCRIBE,
BUT IT'S THIS METALLIC SMELL.
I THINK MEGAN SAYS IT--
>> HAMBURGERS.
>> SMELLS LIKE HAMBURGERS.
[ LAUGHS ]
MAYBE WE'RE JUST REALLY HUNGRY
FOR A REAL HAMBURGER UP HERE,
BUT--
[ MUSIC ]
>> WHAT KIND OF BEEF DO YOU GUYS
GET ON THE SPACE STATION?
>> THIS IS AN EXAMPLE
OF A DEHYDRATED BEEF PATTY.
IT ACTUALLY DOES TASTE
LIKE A PRETTY GOOD BURGER,
BUT IT'S BEEN DEHYDRATED,
SO WE HAVE TO ADD HOT WATER
AND THEN WAIT A LITTLE WHILE
BEFORE WE CAN EAT THAT ONE.
UM, AND THEN THIS IS
A BEEFSTEAK THAT'S, UM, BEEN
IRRADIATED TO BE SHELF-STABLE,
SO IT'S NOT QUITE AS GOOD
AS THE FRESH STEAK YOU MIGHT,
UH, BE ABLE TO COOK
FOR YOURSELF AT HOME,
BUT WE LIKE IT JUST FINE.
[ MUSIC ]
>> DOES YOUR HAIR
GET TANGLED IN SPACE?
>> THAT IS
AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.
MAYBE NOT AS MUCH ON THE GROUND?
I DON'T KNOW.
WE DON'T HAVE THE WIND UP HERE,
SO THAT'S NOT GONNA
TANGLE OUR HAIR,
BUT LOOK AT KATE'S HAIR!
IT JUST FLOATS AROUND.
I KEEP MINE IN A PONYTAIL
SO IT DOESN'T, UH, GET IN--
STUCK ON VELCRO
AND GET INTO THINGS,
BUT YOUR HAIR CAN BE
A LOT OF FUN UP HERE, FOR SURE.
[ MUSIC ]
>> MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS
IF IT IS TRUE THAT ON JUPITER,
UH, IT RAINS DIAMONDS.
>> WHEN LIGHTNING
HAPPENS ON JUPITER,
METHANE TURNS INTO CARBON,
AND THEN AS THAT--
THOSE CHUNKS OF CARBON
FALL TOWARDS THE SURFACE,
THEY TURN INTO FIRST GRAPHITE,
AND THEN DIAMONDS
UP TO A CENTIMETER IN DIAMETER.
[ MUSIC ]
>> I WANT TO ASK YOU.
MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS,
IS IT FUN IN SPACE?
>> IT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
IT IS A LOT OF FUN IN SPACE,
UH, WE C-- WE CAN FLOAT.
WE CAN, UH,
WE CAN BE UPSIDE-DOWN.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE CREW MEMBERS
THAT ARE ACTUALLY
BEING FUNNY AS WE SPEAK.
YOU SEE A LOT OF BALLS
FLYING AROUND, SO IT--
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS
THAT YOU CAN REALLY DO TO, UH,
MAKE THE MOST
OF THE WEIGHTLESS ENVIRONMENT.
UM, WE WORK A LOT, OBVIOUSLY,
BUT WE ALSO LIKE TO HAVE
SOME FUN SOMETIMES,
SO IT'S REALLY COOL
TO BE IN SPACE.
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU THINK
IT WOULD BE.
IT'S, UH, IT WAS MY KID'S DREAM,
AND, UH, WE'RE HAVING
A TON OF FUN WITH THE CREW.
