DR. WATKINS, THIS IS YOUR FIRST

21
00:00:48,415 --> 00:00:48,982
TRIP TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE

STATION.

>> YES.

27
00:01:01,961 --> 00:01:04,330
IT'S BEEN A LOT OF TRAINING TO

28
00:01:04,397 --> 00:01:09,169
GET TO THIS MISSION.

29
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:11,237
FOR ME, THE FAVORITE PART IS

30
00:01:11,304 --> 00:01:14,140
BEING ABLE TO LOOK OUT THE

31
00:01:14,207 --> 00:01:20,380
WINDOW AND SEE EARTH, AND AS A

32
00:01:20,447 --> 00:01:22,515
GEOLOGIST, TO SEE SITES THAT I

33
00:01:22,582 --> 00:01:29,756
WANT TO GO TO OR THAT I'VE BEEN

34
00:01:29,823 --> 00:01:30,390
TO, TO SEE THEM FROM SPACE, HAS

35
00:01:30,457 --> 00:01:31,458
BEEN REALLY AMAZING.

36
00:01:31,524 --> 00:01:33,526
>> AND WHAT IS THE BIGGEST

37
00:01:33,593 --> 00:01:33,793
CHALLENGE?

38
00:01:33,860 --> 00:01:35,929
WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT HAVE

39
00:01:35,995 --> 00:01:38,164
PRESENTED THEMSELVES TO YOU THAT

40
00:01:38,231 --> 00:01:41,868
YOU WEREN'T QUITE 100% PREPARED

41
00:01:41,935 --> 00:01:42,469
FOR ME?

42
00:01:42,535 --> 00:01:44,571
>> YOU KNOW, I THINK, AS YOU

43
00:01:44,637 --> 00:01:47,040
MENTIONED, MISSIONS LIKE THIS,

44
00:01:47,106 --> 00:01:49,375
THESE ARE VERY COMPLEX, AND I

45
00:01:49,442 --> 00:01:51,611
THINK MAYBE FOR OUR MISSION, THE

46
00:01:51,678 --> 00:01:55,014
MOST CHALLENGING THING HAS JUST

47
00:01:55,081 --> 00:01:58,184
BEEN THE CHANGE IN PLAN, SO OUR

48
00:01:58,251 --> 00:02:00,186
LAUNCH WAS DELAYED A LITTLE BIT.

49
00:02:00,253 --> 00:02:02,155
WE'VE HAD SOME CHANGES IN THE

50
00:02:02,222 --> 00:02:04,057
SCHEDULE FOR OUR CAR GO

51
00:02:04,123 --> 00:02:05,992
VEHICLES, FOR OUR RETURN TO

52
00:02:06,059 --> 00:02:07,494
EARTH, AND -- BUT I THINK THAT

53
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,995
IS SOMETHING THAT WE TRAIN FOR,

54
00:02:09,062 --> 00:02:10,363
AS WELL.

55
00:02:10,430 --> 00:02:12,899
WE WANT TO REMAIN FLEXIBLE AND

56
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:15,935
ADAPTABLE, AND WE -- WE ARE VERY

57
00:02:16,002 --> 00:02:17,170
WELL TRAINED, AND SO WE'RE

58
00:02:17,237 --> 00:02:18,838
EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO EXECUTE

59
00:02:18,905 --> 00:02:22,075
THE MISSION HOWEVER IT TURNS

60
00:02:22,141 --> 00:02:23,576
OUT.

61
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:26,045
WE JUST HAD SPACEX 25 CARGO

62
00:02:26,112 --> 00:02:29,215
VEHICLE ARRIVE, SO WE'RE BUSY

63
00:02:29,282 --> 00:02:31,284
DOING VEHICLE OPERATIONS AND

64
00:02:31,351 --> 00:02:32,619
DIVING INTO THE SCIENCE THAT ALL

65
00:02:32,685 --> 00:02:34,387
THAT VEHICLE HAS BROUGHT UP.

66
00:02:34,454 --> 00:02:36,422
>> AND DR. WATKINS, WHEN YOU'RE

67
00:02:36,489 --> 00:02:39,058
IN, YOU KNOW, CLOSE QUARTERS

68
00:02:39,125 --> 00:02:40,460
WITH THREE OTHER PEOPLE, IS THAT

69
00:02:40,527 --> 00:02:41,828
A CHALLENGE, AS WELL?

70
00:02:41,895 --> 00:02:47,000
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, YOU ALL GET

71
00:02:47,066 --> 00:02:54,173
ALONG, YOU TRAIN TOGETHER, BUT

72
00:02:54,240 --> 00:03:01,648
WHAT ABOUT THE PSYCHOLOGICAL

73
00:03:01,714 --> 00:03:02,749
PART OF THIS MISSION?

74
00:03:02,815 --> 00:03:05,018
HOW DO YOU HANDLE THAT PART OF

75
00:03:05,084 --> 00:03:05,752
THE CHALLENGE?

76
00:03:05,818 --> 00:03:09,155
>> YEAH, WELL, LUCKILY FOR ME, I

77
00:03:09,222 --> 00:03:12,292
GET TO FIGHT WITH THESE GUYS.

78
00:03:12,358 --> 00:03:16,129
I HAVE THREE AWESOME CREW

79
00:03:16,195 --> 00:03:17,997
MEMBERS, AS WELL AS OUR RUSSIAN

80
00:03:18,064 --> 00:03:19,098
COLLEAGUES, AS WELL, ON THE

81
00:03:19,165 --> 00:03:26,539
OTHER SIDE OF STATION, SO WE GET

82
00:03:26,606 --> 00:03:29,809
TO -- REALLY, IT'S A PLEASURE TO

83
00:03:29,876 --> 00:03:31,711
BE IN EACH OTHER'S COMPANY AND

84
00:03:31,778 --> 00:03:33,846
REALLY RELY ON EACH OTHER.

85
00:03:33,913 --> 00:03:36,316
WE'RE REALLY A FAMILY WHEN WE'RE

86
00:03:36,382 --> 00:03:40,119
UP HERE, SHARING MEALS TOGETHER,

87
00:03:40,186 --> 00:03:44,824
LEANING ON EACH OTHER, BOTH

88
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:45,758
PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY,

89
00:03:45,825 --> 00:03:46,726
AS WELL.

90
00:03:46,793 --> 00:03:56,002
IT'S REALLY A PLEASURE TO BE UP

91
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:56,469
HERE WITH THESE GUYS.

92
00:03:56,536 --> 00:04:00,840
>> AND THIS IS NOT YOUR FIRST

93
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:01,207
MISSION.

94
00:04:01,274 --> 00:04:03,409
WHAT DO YOU FIND DIFFERENT FROM

95
00:04:03,476 --> 00:04:08,047
SOME OF YOUR PREVIOUS TRIPS, DR.

96
00:04:08,114 --> 00:04:08,247
HINES?

97
00:04:08,314 --> 00:04:11,618
>> IT'S AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY

98
00:04:11,684 --> 00:04:13,987
TO GET TO FLY AGAIN AND, YOU

99
00:04:14,053 --> 00:04:16,389
KNOW, THE MORE THINGS CHANGE,

100
00:04:16,456 --> 00:04:19,092
LIKE THE SAYING GOES, THE MORE

101
00:04:19,158 --> 00:04:25,298
THEY STAY THE SAME.

102
00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:27,767
STATION WAS VERY SIMILAR AS IT

103
00:04:27,834 --> 00:04:30,470
WAS WHEN I WAS UP HERE IN 2019.

104
00:04:30,536 --> 00:04:34,741
INSTEAD OF FLYING ON A SOYUZ, I

105
00:04:34,807 --> 00:04:38,544
HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO FLY UP HERE

106
00:04:38,611 --> 00:04:39,579
ON A CREW DRAGON.

107
00:04:39,646 --> 00:04:40,847
WE'RE DOING HUNDREDS OF

108
00:04:40,913 --> 00:04:42,582
EXPERIMENTS IN THE TIME THAT

109
00:04:42,649 --> 00:04:44,017
WE'RE UP HERE AND CONTINUING TO

110
00:04:44,083 --> 00:04:46,753
DO THE MAINTENANCE AND

111
00:04:46,819 --> 00:04:47,820
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE TO

112
00:04:47,887 --> 00:04:50,023
MAINTAIN STATION, AND THAT IS

113
00:04:50,089 --> 00:04:50,423
GREAT.

114
00:04:50,490 --> 00:04:52,825
I THINK THE BIGGEST CHANGE IS

115
00:04:52,892 --> 00:04:53,760
THE PEOPLE.

116
00:04:53,826 --> 00:04:57,030
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO FLY

117
00:04:57,096 --> 00:04:58,598
WITH A DIFFERENT CREW, AND NOW,

118
00:04:58,665 --> 00:05:04,470
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO FLY

119
00:05:04,537 --> 00:05:17,016
WITH JESSICA AND SAMANTHA, AND

120
00:05:17,083 --> 00:05:20,086
THE RUSSIAN CREW, AND IT'S A

121
00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:20,653
PLEASURE TO GET TO FLY WITH

122
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,722
THESE FOLKS.

123
00:05:22,789 --> 00:05:25,625
>> AND DR. WATKINS, YOU'RE A

124
00:05:25,692 --> 00:05:25,892
GEOLOGIST.

125
00:05:25,958 --> 00:05:26,859
WHAT KIND OF EXPERIMENTS THAT

126
00:05:26,926 --> 00:05:32,832
YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING, AND

127
00:05:32,899 --> 00:05:38,137
THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE

128
00:05:38,204 --> 00:05:39,505
ABLE TO DO THE RESEARCH AND

129
00:05:39,572 --> 00:05:41,741
DISCOVER THINGS THAT YOU

130
00:05:41,808 --> 00:05:44,343
WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DISCOVER

131
00:05:44,410 --> 00:05:45,078
HERE ON EARTH?

132
00:05:45,144 --> 00:05:46,512
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

133
00:05:46,579 --> 00:05:48,614
IT HAS BEEN PRETTY NEAT FOR ME

134
00:05:48,681 --> 00:05:50,349
IN PARTICULAR TO BE ABLE TO KIND

135
00:05:50,416 --> 00:05:53,519
OF SEE EARTH FROM A PLANETARY

136
00:05:53,586 --> 00:05:55,054
PERSPECTIVE, IF YOU WILL, SO I

137
00:05:55,121 --> 00:05:58,157
DID A LOT OF MY WORK ON

138
00:05:58,224 --> 00:05:59,892
PLANETARY GEOLOGIST, SO I DID MY

139
00:05:59,959 --> 00:06:02,829
WORK LOOKING AT A LOT OF OTHER

140
00:06:02,895 --> 00:06:03,663
PLANETS, PARTICULARLY MARS AND

141
00:06:03,730 --> 00:06:05,765
THE MOON, SO TO BE ABLE TO VIEW

142
00:06:05,832 --> 00:06:07,567
EARTH IN THE SAME WAY, TO BE

143
00:06:07,633 --> 00:06:11,738
ABLE TO HAVE KIND OF THE SAME

144
00:06:11,804 --> 00:06:14,774
VANTAGE POINT AS MANY OF OUR

145
00:06:14,841 --> 00:06:17,243
SENSORS HAVE, AND TO MAKE THE

146
00:06:17,310 --> 00:06:19,545
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE

147
00:06:19,612 --> 00:06:21,614
ORBITAL PERSPECTIVE AND GROUND

148
00:06:21,681 --> 00:06:23,049
PERSPECTIVE, BE ABLE TO MARY

149
00:06:23,116 --> 00:06:27,286
THOSE TWO, AND BE ABLE TO APPLY

150
00:06:27,353 --> 00:06:31,424
IT TO OUR FUTURE PLANETARY

151
00:06:31,491 --> 00:06:33,793
PURSUITS, THE ARTEMIS MISSION

152
00:06:33,860 --> 00:06:38,030
THAT'S COMING UP, IS REALLY

153
00:06:38,097 --> 00:06:39,332
IMPORTANT, AND REALLY EXCITED

154
00:06:39,398 --> 00:06:40,366
ABOUT THAT.

155
00:06:40,433 --> 00:06:50,543
ALSO, JUST COME UP ON SPACEX 25.

156
00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:51,878
THERE ARE SEVERAL EARTH SCIENCE

157
00:06:51,944 --> 00:06:53,780
EXPERIMENTS, ONE OF WHICH IS

158
00:06:53,846 --> 00:06:55,882
LOOKING AT DUST IN THE

159
00:06:55,948 --> 00:06:57,583
ATMOSPHERE AND REPAIRING REFINE

160
00:06:57,650 --> 00:06:59,619
OUR UNDERSTAND -- AND HELPING

161
00:06:59,685 --> 00:07:03,156
REFINE OUR EXPERIMENTS IN THE

162
00:07:03,222 --> 00:07:05,291
ATMOSPHERE AND HOW IT'S

163
00:07:05,358 --> 00:07:11,030
CHANGING, SO LOTS GOING ON UP

164
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:13,566
HERE THAT IS REALLY EXCITING.

165
00:07:13,633 --> 00:07:20,273
>> AND DR. LINDGREN, YOU'RE A

DOCTOR.

168
00:07:21,574 --> 00:07:24,844
HOW IS THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE

169
00:07:24,911 --> 00:07:26,712
AND YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE

170
00:07:26,779 --> 00:07:28,614
MEDICINE ENHANCED BY YOUR TRIPS

171
00:07:28,681 --> 00:07:29,148
TO SPACE?

172
00:07:29,215 --> 00:07:32,485
>> WELL, I'M VERY GRATEFUL THAT

173
00:07:32,552 --> 00:07:36,155
MY PREVIOUS EXPEDITION AND THIS

174
00:07:36,222 --> 00:07:38,658
ONE, I'VE NOT HAD TO USE THE

175
00:07:38,724 --> 00:07:42,094
SKILLS THAT I HAVE HAD TO USE IN

176
00:07:42,161 --> 00:07:43,429
THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, BUT

177
00:07:43,496 --> 00:07:45,064
I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT

178
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:45,398
EXPERIENCE.

179
00:07:45,464 --> 00:07:47,900
THE PRACTICE OF AEROSPACE

180
00:07:47,967 --> 00:07:49,569
MEDICINE, WHAT WE'RE DOING IT

181
00:07:49,635 --> 00:07:59,111
DIFFERENT IN MANY WAYS TO

182
00:07:59,178 --> 00:08:00,813
TERRESTRIAL PRACTICE -- IS

183
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:06,686
DIFFERENT IN MANY WAYS TO

184
00:08:06,752 --> 00:08:09,589
TERRESTRIAL PRACTICE IN THAT WE

185
00:08:09,655 --> 00:08:14,727
WANT TO KEEP PEOPLE AS HEALTHY

186
00:08:14,794 --> 00:08:17,763
AS POSSIBLE UP HERE AS LONG AS

187

POSSIBLE.

188
00:08:18,097 --> 00:08:21,901
IF WE HAD A SERIOUS EVENT, WE

189
00:08:21,968 --> 00:08:28,574
WOULD EVACUATE OUR MEMBERS BACK

190
00:08:28,641 --> 00:08:32,345
TO CRITICAL EFFORT BACK ON

191
00:08:32,411 --> 00:08:33,880
EARTH, AND AS WE PROCEED TO THE

192
00:08:33,946 --> 00:08:35,815
MOON AND TO MARS, THAT PRACTICE

193
00:08:35,882 --> 00:08:37,450
IS GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE A

194
00:08:37,516 --> 00:08:38,384
LITTLE BIT.

195
00:08:38,451 --> 00:08:41,254
BUT FOR ME, BEING UP HERE ON THE

196
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,588
SPACE STATION AND BEING ABLE TO

197
00:08:42,655 --> 00:08:44,590
STUDY SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I

198
00:08:44,657 --> 00:08:50,129
GOT TO STUDY WHEN I WAS IN GRAD

199
00:08:50,196 --> 00:08:51,964
SCHOOL, THE SPACE STATION SERVES

200
00:08:52,031 --> 00:08:56,202
AS A TERRIFIC -- IT GIVES US

201
00:08:56,269 --> 00:08:59,305
INTERESTING PERSPECTIVES INTO

202
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:02,341
DISEASE PROCESSES, BONE DENSITY

203
00:09:02,408 --> 00:09:06,879
AND MUSCLE ATROPHY, BY STUDYING

204
00:09:06,946 --> 00:09:08,948
ASTRONAUTS UP HERE, WE CAN STUDY

205
00:09:09,015 --> 00:09:11,284
THOSE CHANGES AND PERHAPS COME

206
00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:16,789
UP WITH TREATMENTS FOR FOLKS

207
00:09:16,856 --> 00:09:24,664
THAT ARE STILL ON EARTH.

208
00:09:24,730 --> 00:09:32,038
>> IF YOU'VE JUST JOINED ME, I'M

209
00:09:32,104 --> 00:09:34,607
TOM HALL WITH FLORIDA MIDWAY,

210
00:09:34,674 --> 00:09:44,050
AND I'M TALKING WITH DR. WAJESSA

211
00:09:44,116 --> 00:09:50,556
WATKINS AND DR. KJELL LINDGREN.

212
00:09:50,623 --> 00:09:54,794
DR. WATKINS, WHAT IS YOUR

213
00:09:54,860 --> 00:09:56,429
EXPERIENCE ON BEING THE FIRST

214
00:09:56,495 --> 00:10:00,566
BLACK WOMAN ON BOARD THE

215
00:10:00,633 --> 00:10:01,734
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IN

216
00:10:01,801 --> 00:10:02,568
THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM?

217
00:10:02,635 --> 00:10:05,071
>> YEAH, I THINK IT'S AN

218
00:10:05,137 --> 00:10:07,239
IMPORTANT MILESTONE IN THAT IT

219
00:10:07,306 --> 00:10:11,444
ILLUMINATES A LONG LEGACY OF

220
00:10:11,510 --> 00:10:13,212
HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT OF AFRICAN

221
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:16,349
AMERICAN ASTRONAUTS, BOTH IN THE

222
00:10:16,415 --> 00:10:18,985
PAST AND IS A TESTAMENT TO AN

223
00:10:19,051 --> 00:10:20,653
EXCITING FUTURE AHEAD AS WE LOOK

224
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,989
TO THE MOON AND MARS, SO I'M

225
00:10:23,055 --> 00:10:24,390
CERTAIN HONORED AND PRIVILEGED

226
00:10:24,457 --> 00:10:26,292
TO BELIEVE A PART OF THAT LEGACY

227
00:10:26,359 --> 00:10:28,694
AND JUST WANT TO BE A GOOD

228
00:10:28,761 --> 00:10:33,532
STEWARD OF THAT LEGACY.

229
00:10:33,599 --> 00:10:35,468
>> AND DR. WATKINS, WERE YOU

230
00:10:35,534 --> 00:10:36,769
THAT KIND OF LITTLE GIRL THAT

231
00:10:36,836 --> 00:10:47,380
SAID TO HERSELF, GEE, ONE DAY, I

232
00:10:47,446 --> 00:10:55,221
WANT TO BE AN ASTRONAUT?

233
00:10:55,287 --> 00:11:00,793
AT WHAT POINT DID THAT BECOME A

234
00:11:00,860 --> 00:11:01,794
GOAL OF YOURS?

235
00:11:01,861 --> 00:11:04,363
>> YEAH, IT BECAME A GOAL OF

236
00:11:04,430 --> 00:11:08,100
MINE AT A PRETTY YOUNG AGE.

237
00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:11,437
I FIRST VOICED WANTING TO BE AN

238
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:13,139
ASTRONAUT AT THE AGE OF NINE,

239
00:11:13,205 --> 00:11:15,875
BUT I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE I HAD

240
00:11:15,941 --> 00:11:18,110
PARENTS, TEACHERS, COACHES THAT

241
00:11:18,177 --> 00:11:19,912
SUPPORTED ME ALONG THE WAY,

242
00:11:19,979 --> 00:11:22,048
HELPED ME PURSUE PATHWAYS THAT

243
00:11:22,114 --> 00:11:25,351
ALLOWED ME TO PURSUE MY DREAMS,

244
00:11:25,418 --> 00:11:27,953
SO I'M JUST SUPER GRATEFUL FOR

245
00:11:28,020 --> 00:11:29,321
THEIR ENCOURAGEMENT AND HELPING

246
00:11:29,388 --> 00:11:31,157
ME GET TO THIS POINT.

247
00:11:31,223 --> 00:11:33,959
>> AND DR. LINDGREN, I WONDER

248
00:11:34,026 --> 00:11:37,763
IF, IN YOUR CAREER PATH, THERE

249
00:11:37,830 --> 00:11:42,168
WAS EVER A DESIRE OF PURSUING A

250
00:11:42,234 --> 00:11:43,636
CAREER IN MEDICINE AND A CAREER

251
00:11:43,702 --> 00:11:46,405
IN ASTRONAUT.

252
00:11:46,472 --> 00:11:48,374
YOU WERE ABLE TO MELD THEM,

253
00:11:48,441 --> 00:11:51,444
PERHAPS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS,

254
00:11:51,510 --> 00:11:54,213
BUT WAS THERE A POINT WHERE YOU

255
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,217
HAD TO CHOOSE ONE OVER THE OTHER

256
00:11:58,284 --> 00:11:59,418
OR DECIDE ONE OVER THE OTHER?

257
00:11:59,485 --> 00:12:04,623
>> WELL, IT IS THE BEST OF BOTH

258
00:12:04,690 --> 00:12:05,124
WORLDS.

259
00:12:05,191 --> 00:12:08,327
IT'S AN HONOR TO HAVE A

260
00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:10,262
PRIVILEGE OF BEING A DOCTOR AND

261
00:12:10,329 --> 00:12:11,997
TAKING CARE OF THE COMMUNITY,

262
00:12:12,064 --> 00:12:14,533
BUT BEING AN ASTRONAUT, IT'S

263
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,569
SOMETHING THAT I ALWAYS DREAMED

264
00:12:16,635 --> 00:12:17,770
OF THE POSSIBILITY BUT

265
00:12:17,837 --> 00:12:19,772
UNDERSTOOD THAT THE ODDS WERE

266
00:12:19,839 --> 00:12:20,906
REALLY AGAINST IT.

267
00:12:20,973 --> 00:12:22,608
I'VE PURSUED THE PASSION OF

268
00:12:22,675 --> 00:12:27,246
WORKING IN MEDICINE, WORKING AS

269
00:12:27,313 --> 00:12:28,581
AN EMERGENCY MEDICINE PHYSICIAN

270
00:12:28,647 --> 00:12:29,882
AND HAVING COMPLETED THAT

271
00:12:29,949 --> 00:12:31,183
TRAINING AND WORKED IN THE

272
00:12:31,250 --> 00:12:32,685
COMMUNITY FOR A WHILE, I

273
00:12:32,751 --> 00:12:33,819
DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A

274
00:12:33,886 --> 00:12:35,988
POSSIBILITY OF MERGING THOSE TWO

275
00:12:36,055 --> 00:12:39,091
WORLDS, SO I TRAINED IN

276
00:12:39,158 --> 00:12:41,427
AEROSPACE METS AND ULTIMATELY

277
00:12:41,494 --> 00:12:45,965
GOT A JOB AS A FLIGHT SURGEON, A

278
00:12:46,031 --> 00:12:47,466
DOCTOR THAT TAKES CARE OF THE

279
00:12:47,533 --> 00:12:49,235
FLIGHT CREWS AND THEIR FAMILIES,

280
00:12:49,301 --> 00:12:50,336
AND THAT CERTAINLY WAS A

281
00:12:50,402 --> 00:12:52,304
PRACTICE IN THE DOMAIN OF HUMAN

282
00:12:52,371 --> 00:12:55,074
SPACE FLIGHT, AND THEREFORE SOON

283
00:12:55,141 --> 00:12:59,778
AFTER, HEARD THEY WERE HIRING

284
00:12:59,845 --> 00:13:03,816
ASTRONAUTS, AND I APPLIED, AND

285
00:13:03,883 --> 00:13:04,717
HAD THE GREAT FORTUNE TO BE

286
00:13:04,783 --> 00:13:08,020
SELECTED FOR THE CLASS OF 2009.

287
00:13:08,087 --> 00:13:11,590
>> AND DR. WATKINS, WE HAVE

288
00:13:11,657 --> 00:13:13,859
PEOPLE HERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE

289
00:13:13,926 --> 00:13:19,365
WEBB TELESCOPE, ASSOCIATED WITH

290
00:13:19,431 --> 00:13:21,367
CAPTURING AND SENDING BACK

291
00:13:21,433 --> 00:13:26,071
PICTURES FROM DEEP IN SPACE.

292
00:13:26,138 --> 00:13:28,007
I WONDER, DO YOU HAVE A SENSE

293
00:13:28,073 --> 00:13:30,142
THAT THERE'S A RENEWED INTEREST,

294
00:13:30,209 --> 00:13:33,179
A RENEWED ENTHUSIASM IN SPACE

295
00:13:33,245 --> 00:13:37,583
EXPLORATION AMONG AMERICANS?

296
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:40,085
>> YEAH, IT IS CERTAINLY

297
00:13:40,152 --> 00:13:40,486
EXCITING.

298
00:13:40,553 --> 00:13:43,088
I THINK ALL OF THE KIND OF

299
00:13:43,155 --> 00:13:45,624
PROGRAMS THAT NASA IS

300
00:13:45,691 --> 00:13:46,825
PARTICIPATING IN AND SUPPORTING

301
00:13:46,892 --> 00:13:50,563
HAVE REALLY PUSHED US TOWARDS

302
00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:52,698
PURSUING FURTHER AND FURTHER

303
00:13:52,765 --> 00:13:54,099
INTO OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, AND AS

304
00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:59,238
YOU MENTIONED WITH THE JAMES

305
00:13:59,305 --> 00:14:05,110
WEBB TELESCOPE, FROM IN SPACE.

306
00:14:05,177 --> 00:14:08,214
IT CERTAINLY IS AN EXCITING TIME

307
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,849
TO BE IN SPACE FLIGHT AND IN THE

308
00:14:10,916 --> 00:14:12,651
SPACE BUSINESS IN GENERAL.

309
00:14:12,718 --> 00:14:14,853
CERTAINLY, AT NASA, WE ARE RIGHT

310
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,789
IN THE THICK OF THE COMMERCIAL

311
00:14:16,855 --> 00:14:20,159
CREW PROGRAM WITH SPACEX SENDING

312
00:14:20,226 --> 00:14:22,895
UP DRAGONS LIKE THE ONE WE RODE

313
00:14:22,962 --> 00:14:25,464
UP HERE ON, AS WELL AS THE

314
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:27,399
BOEING STARLINER JUST ARRIVED

315
00:14:27,466 --> 00:14:30,302
EARLIER IN OUR MISSION TO THE

316
00:14:30,369 --> 00:14:31,470
SPACE STATION FOR THEIR

317
00:14:31,537 --> 00:14:32,771
CHECK-OUT MISSION, SO THAT'S

318
00:14:32,838 --> 00:14:35,808
SUPER EXCITING TO HAVE THOSE TWO

319
00:14:35,874 --> 00:14:37,142
VEHICLES ON-LINE, AND THEN, AS

320
00:14:37,209 --> 00:14:40,579
WE MENTIONED, HAVING THE ARTEMIS

321
00:14:40,646 --> 00:14:42,815
PROGRAM COMING UP THIS SUMMER, I

322
00:14:42,881 --> 00:14:45,584
BELIEVE, OR EARLY FALL, HAVING

323
00:14:45,651 --> 00:14:47,586
THE ARTEMIS LAUNCH WILL BE

324
00:14:47,653 --> 00:14:49,088
REALLY EXCITING, AS WELL, SO

325
00:14:49,154 --> 00:14:51,156
THERE'S A LOT TO BE SUPER

326
00:14:51,223 --> 00:14:52,858
EXCITED ABOUT IN TERMS OF SPACE,

327
00:14:52,925 --> 00:14:55,394
AND WE CAN DEFINITELY SEE THAT

328
00:14:55,461 --> 00:14:56,095
IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

329
00:14:56,161 --> 00:15:00,532
>> AND DR. LINDGREN, HAS YOUR

330
00:15:00,599 --> 00:15:02,768
EXPERIENCE IN SPACE CHANGED IN A

331
00:15:02,835 --> 00:15:04,737
WAY THAT YOU CAN IDENTIFY, YOU

332
00:15:04,803 --> 00:15:08,240
KNOW, SORT OF FUNDAMENTALLY YOUR

333
00:15:08,307 --> 00:15:10,576
UNDERSTANDING OF HUMANITY, YOUR

334
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:12,311
UNDERSTANDING OF THE HUMAN

335
00:15:12,378 --> 00:15:13,746
CONDITION AND THE WORLD AS WE

336
00:15:13,812 --> 00:15:17,316
HAVE MADE IT AND THE WORLD AS IT

337
00:15:17,383 --> 00:15:20,152
PRESENTS ITSELF IN TERMS OF THE

338
00:15:20,219 --> 00:15:20,819
FUTURE?

339
00:15:20,886 --> 00:15:25,057
IS YOUR PHILOSOPHICAL

340
00:15:25,124 --> 00:15:26,492
UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN BEINGS,

341
00:15:26,558 --> 00:15:29,528
HAS IT BEEN -- HAS IT BEEN

342
00:15:29,595 --> 00:15:31,297
INFORMED IN A WAY THAT HAS

343
00:15:31,363 --> 00:15:33,332
CHANGED YOUR -- THE WAY YOU USED

344
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:34,800
TO THINK ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF

345
00:15:34,867 --> 00:15:39,705
YOUR PERSPECTIVE LITERALLY FROM

346
00:15:39,772 --> 00:15:40,005
SPACE?

347
00:15:40,072 --> 00:15:42,608
>> YEAH, THAT'S -- THAT'S A

348
00:15:42,675 --> 00:15:43,976
REALLY INTERESTING QUESTION.

349
00:15:44,043 --> 00:15:45,110
I THINK THERE ARE TWO MAJOR

350
00:15:45,177 --> 00:15:46,178
PARTS TO THAT.

351
00:15:46,245 --> 00:15:48,013
ONE IS LOOKING BACK AT THE

352
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,848
EARTH, HAVING THIS PLATFORM TO

353
00:15:49,915 --> 00:15:52,618
LOOK BACK AT OUR AMACING HOME

354
00:15:52,685 --> 00:15:52,851
PLANET.

355
00:15:52,918 --> 00:15:54,486
YOU CAN SEE VISUALLY THE CHANGES

356
00:15:54,553 --> 00:15:56,455
THAT HUMANITY HAS HAD ON THE

357
00:15:56,522 --> 00:15:58,390
EARTH, AND CERTAINLY, MANY OF

358
00:15:58,457 --> 00:15:59,325
THOSE ARE FOR GOOD.

359
00:15:59,391 --> 00:16:03,128
THE AGRICULTURE -- AMAZING HOME

360
00:16:03,195 --> 00:16:03,429
PLANET.

361
00:16:03,495 --> 00:16:04,963
YOU CAN SEE VISUALLY THE CHANGES

362
00:16:05,030 --> 00:16:06,865
THAT HUMANITY HAS HAD ON THE

363
00:16:06,932 --> 00:16:10,169
EARTH, AND CERTAINLY, MANY OF

364
00:16:10,235 --> 00:16:12,204
THOSE ARE FOR GOOD.

365
00:16:12,271 --> 00:16:17,843
THE AGRICULTURE EFFECTS ARE

366
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:22,114
GOOD, BUT CERTAINLY, THE NOT SO

367
00:16:22,181 --> 00:16:29,588
GOOD, THE DEFORESTATION AND THE

368
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:33,692
EFFECTS OF POLLUTION ON THINGS

369
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:35,361
LIKE WATER.

370
00:16:35,427 --> 00:16:36,662
CERTAINLY, OUR SPACE STATION,

371
00:16:36,729 --> 00:16:42,368
PROTECTING US WITH AIR TO

372
00:16:42,434 --> 00:16:44,803
BREATHE AND FOOD TO EAT AND

373
00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:46,939
WATER TO DRINK.

374
00:16:47,005 --> 00:16:48,474
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BLACK VOID,

375
00:16:48,540 --> 00:16:50,008
YOU SEE THAT THERE IS NOTHING

376
00:16:50,075 --> 00:16:51,543
LIKE EARTH IN OUR EXPERIENCE.

377
00:16:51,610 --> 00:16:54,113
IT IS SURROUNDED BY AN

378
00:16:54,179 --> 00:16:56,248
ATMOSPHERE, A VERY THIN

379
00:16:56,315 --> 00:16:57,015
ATMOSPHERE, AND WE RECOGNIZE

380
00:16:57,082 --> 00:16:59,151
THAT THAT IS WHERE HUMANITY IS,

381
00:16:59,218 --> 00:17:00,619
THAT THAT IS OUR SPACESHIP, AND

382
00:17:00,686 --> 00:17:03,589
I KNOW THAT MANY OF US DO NOT

383
00:17:03,655 --> 00:17:05,791
SPEND 30% OF OUR TIME TAKING

384
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:07,960
CARE OF EARTH, SO I THINK THAT'S

385
00:17:08,026 --> 00:17:10,329
OUR FIRST MAJOR POINT, THAT WE

386
00:17:10,396 --> 00:17:11,797
REALLY NEED TO THINK ABOUT OUR

387
00:17:11,864 --> 00:17:13,632
HOME AND TAKE CARE OF IT.

388
00:17:13,699 --> 00:17:20,639
THE SECOND POINT, AS YOU LOOK AT

389
00:17:20,706 --> 00:17:21,807
THE SPACE STATION --

390
00:17:21,874 --> 00:17:23,175
[indiscernible] -- I WAS JUST

391
00:17:23,242 --> 00:17:25,711
GOING TO SAY, LOOKING AT THE

392
00:17:25,778 --> 00:17:27,880
SPACE STATION, THE INCREDIBLE

393
00:17:27,946 --> 00:17:30,883
THING THAT WE'VE CREATED, IT IS

394
00:17:30,949 --> 00:17:33,552
AMAZING WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO

395
00:17:33,619 --> 00:17:37,990
WHEN WE JOIN TOGETHER AS A

396
00:17:38,056 --> 00:17:42,294
COMMUNITY FOR PEACEFUL SPACE

397
00:17:42,361 --> 00:17:49,668
EXPLORATION AND ENDEAVOR, IT IS

398
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:52,504
A GREAT THING.

399
00:17:52,571 --> 00:17:57,309
>> ABSOLUTELY.

400
00:17:57,376 --> 00:17:59,278
WE ONLY HAVE A FEW SECOND DS, T

401
00:17:59,344 --> 00:18:02,981
LET ME ASK YOU, DR. WATKINS, HAS

402
00:18:03,048 --> 00:18:04,983
IT CHANGED YOUR PERSPECTIVE

403
00:18:05,050 --> 00:18:06,585
BEING UP IN SPACE, AS WELL?

404
00:18:06,652 --> 00:18:11,123
>> YEAH, I THINK DR. LINDGREN

405
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:12,624
SAID IT WELL.

406
00:18:12,691 --> 00:18:14,827
BEING PART OF AN INTERNATIONAL

407
00:18:14,893 --> 00:18:15,961
TEAM KEEPING SPACE STATION

408
00:18:16,028 --> 00:18:17,329
RUNNING, KEEPING US RUNNING, IT

409
00:18:17,396 --> 00:18:19,998
IDENTIFIES FOR YOU, ILLUMINATES

410
00:18:20,065 --> 00:18:22,034
FOR YOU HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT

00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:23,802
WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS, AND

412
00:18:23,869 --> 00:18:24,770
THATTUN IDENTIFYING ASPECT IS

413
00:18:24,837 --> 00:18:29,174
WHAT ALLOWS US TO ACCOMPLISH THE

414
00:18:29,241 --> 00:18:31,877
IMPOSSIBLE.

415
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:34,947
>> WELL, DR. JESSICA WATKINS,

416
00:18:35,013 --> 00:18:39,051

00:18:50,128 --> 00:18:55,567
