193
00:04:44,517 --> 00:04:45,251
THAN WATCHING

194
00:04:45,251 --> 00:04:47,687
MY OWN LAUNCH OF RESEARCH

195
00:04:47,687 --> 00:04:49,088
TO THE SPACE STATION.

196
00:04:49,088 --> 00:04:50,857
>> I ACTUALLY HAVE, LIKE,

197
00:04:50,857 --> 00:04:52,425
MY BACKGROUND OF MY CELL PHONE

198
00:04:52,425 --> 00:04:54,260
IS ACTUALLY THE PICTURE OF US

199
00:04:54,260 --> 00:04:55,662
SENDING THE PRODUCT

200
00:04:55,662 --> 00:04:57,030
TO SPACE STATION.

201
00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:57,830
DEFINITELY A LOT OF PEOPLE

202
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:59,532
ARE SURPRISED THAT YOUNG,

203
00:04:59,532 --> 00:05:02,101
UH, FEMALES IN STEM

204
00:05:02,101 --> 00:05:03,336
HAVE, YOU KNOW,

205
00:05:03,336 --> 00:05:05,204
THIS TYPE OF EXPERIENCES

206
00:05:05,204 --> 00:05:07,040
AND HAVE CONTRIBUTED THIS MUCH.

207
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,409
AND I STILL LOOK AT THE SKY,

208
00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:11,144
AND I REALLY THINK EVERYTHING

209
00:05:11,144 --> 00:05:13,212
IS SO FAR AWAY AND LIKE, UH,

210
00:05:13,212 --> 00:05:14,180
LOOK AT THE STARS

211
00:05:14,180 --> 00:05:15,281
AND EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE--

212
00:05:15,281 --> 00:05:17,050
THAT NOTHING IS ACHIEVABLE.

213
00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:19,118
BUT THEN JUST BEING A PART

214
00:05:19,118 --> 00:05:21,187
OF THIS, UH, WHOLE EXPERIENCE,

215
00:05:21,187 --> 00:05:23,623
IT JUST IS A DREAM COME TRUE.

216
00:05:26,325 --> 00:05:27,260
>> ELAINE AND PARASTOO

217
00:05:27,260 --> 00:05:28,294
NOW JOIN THE THOUSANDS

218
00:05:28,294 --> 00:05:29,629
OF SCIENTISTS WHO'VE

219
00:05:29,629 --> 00:05:30,830
PERFORMED RESEARCH ABOARD

220
00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:32,699
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION,

221
00:05:32,699 --> 00:05:34,100
MAKING THE MOST OF WHAT

222
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:36,335
MICROGRAVITY HAS TO TEACH US.

223
00:05:36,335 --> 00:05:38,004
THIS DEDICATED GROUP IS

224
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:38,871
BRINGING WHAT THEY LEARN

225
00:05:38,871 --> 00:05:39,839
BACK TO EARTH,

226
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,107
HELPING IMPROVE LIVES

227
00:05:41,107 --> 00:05:43,676
AND ADVANCE EXPLORATION.

228
00:05:43,676 --> 00:05:45,445
>> WHAT SPACE STATION GIVES US

229
00:05:45,445 --> 00:05:46,646
IS A DIFFERENT SORT

230
00:05:46,646 --> 00:05:47,747
OF LABORATORY.

231
00:05:47,747 --> 00:05:48,815
AND WHAT'S REALLY

232
00:05:48,815 --> 00:05:49,782
MEANINGFUL TO ME

233
00:05:49,782 --> 00:05:51,017
IS TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK DOWN

234
00:05:51,017 --> 00:05:52,552
AND TALK WITH MY PATIENTS

235
00:05:52,552 --> 00:05:53,786
AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT SOME

236
00:05:53,786 --> 00:05:55,188
OF THE DISCOVERIES WE'VE MADE.

237
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:56,289
THIS MEANS A LOT TO ME

238
00:05:56,289 --> 00:05:57,690
AS A CLINICIAN.

239
00:05:57,690 --> 00:05:59,459
AND SO IT WAS REALLY NEAT

240
00:05:59,459 --> 00:06:00,226
TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM

241
00:06:00,226 --> 00:06:01,794
THAT SORT OF SCIENCE ON STATION.

242
00:06:03,629 --> 00:06:04,464
>> THE ENERGY THAT EVERYONE HAS

243
00:06:04,464 --> 00:06:05,898
WHO IS INVOLVED

244
00:06:05,898 --> 00:06:06,632
IN SPACE RESEARCH

245
00:06:06,632 --> 00:06:08,167
IS EXTREMELY CONTAGIOUS.

246
00:06:08,167 --> 00:06:08,801
AND SO YOU JUST GET

247
00:06:08,801 --> 00:06:09,602
HYPED UP ABOUT IT

248
00:06:09,602 --> 00:06:10,403
BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE

249
00:06:10,403 --> 00:06:11,938
IS SO EXCITED ABOUT IT.

250
00:06:11,938 --> 00:06:13,106
YES, THE TIMELINE'S ARE LONG,

251
00:06:13,106 --> 00:06:15,007
BUT EVERYONE IS SO POSITIVE

252
00:06:15,007 --> 00:06:16,042
AND CERTAIN THAT THEY'RE

253
00:06:16,042 --> 00:06:17,477
DOING A GOOD THING

254
00:06:17,477 --> 00:06:19,078
AND THAT THE MONEY IS WELL-SPENT

255
00:06:19,078 --> 00:06:21,414
AND THAT IS WHAT DRIVES PEOPLE

256
00:06:21,414 --> 00:06:22,148
TO KEEP DOING

257
00:06:22,148 --> 00:06:23,282
THIS SORT OF RESEARCH.

258
00:06:28,654 --> 00:06:30,189
>> MICROGRAVITY STILL HAS

259
00:06:30,189 --> 00:06:31,824
MORE INSIGHTS TO REVEAL,

260
00:06:31,824 --> 00:06:33,226
AND THIS LABORATORY

261
00:06:33,226 --> 00:06:34,327
LIKE NO OTHER

262
00:06:34,327 --> 00:06:36,028
WILL CONTINUE TO UNCOVER THEM

263
00:06:36,028 --> 00:06:39,265
ONE EXPERIMENT AT A TIME.
