>> STATION, THIS IS HOUSTON.
ARE YOU READY FOR THE EVENT?
>> HOUSTON, THIS IS STATION.
WE ARE READY FOR THE EVENT.
>> HOUSTON ACR, THIS IS MISSION
CONTROL HOUSTON.
PLEASE CALL STATION FOR A VOICE
CHECK.
>> STATION, THIS IS HOUSTON ACR.
HOW DO YOU HEAR ME?
>> HOUSTON ACR, THIS IS STATION.
WE HEARD YOU LOUD AND CLEAR.
>> HOW ABOUT US?
>> WE GOT YOU LOUD AND CLEAR.
PLEASE STAND BY FOR OPENING
REMARKS.
>> HELLO AND WELCOME FROM
ODYSSEY ACADEMY.
WE FOUNDED ODYSSEY ACADEMY IN
1998, HE HAD A VISION FOR
STUDENTS OF OUR COUNTY AND
BEYOND.
HE WANTED TO CREATE RICH
OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS AND
THEIR FAMILIES.
WE ARE VERY THANKFUL AND EXCITED
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR
STUDENTS NOW FOR OUR FIRST
QUESTION.
>> HI.
MY QUESTION IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
YOU FIRST GET OFF THE
SPACECRAFT?
>> SO ALL THE STUDENTS TO
ODYSSEY ACADEMY, WELCOME TO
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION ON
BEHALF OF EXPEDITION 69 AND THE
NASA TEAM.
WELL, STEVE HAS LANDED A LOT
MORE TIME THAN I HAVE, SO I WILL
LET HIM ANSWER THE FIRST
QUESTION.
>> I THINK IT DEPENDS ON WHAT
YOU DID UP IN SPACE.
MY FIRST FEW MISSIONS WERE
FAIRLY SHORT, JUST A COUPLE OF
WEEKS.
THE IMMEDIATE EFFECTS WERE SORT
OF THAT, YOU FELT A LITTLE
DIZZY, A LITTLE WOBBLY, THEN
AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS OR DAYS,
THAT WENT AWAY, MY CALVES ACHED
ONCE I STARTED WALKING AGAIN,
FOR TWO WEEKS I DIDN'T USE THEM
BUT FOR SPACE STATION MISSION
FOR SIX MONTHS, IT TAKES ABOUT
SIX WEEKS BEFORE YOU START
REALLY FEELING NORMAL AND WE'LL
HAVE THOSE, THOSE DIZZINESS AND
ISSUES AS OUR SCOPE SPINS BACK
UP ONCE WE GET BACK DOWN ON
EARTH, THEN HOPEFULLY THE HARD
WORK WE HAVE DONE UP HERE WITH
LOAD BEARING EXERCISE WILL HELP
OUR, HELP OUR SYSTEM ADJUST TO
BEING FUNCTIONAL BACK ON EARTH,
GRAVITY IS GOING TO BE BRAND-NEW
EXPERIENCE IN A LOT OF WAYS, IT
WILL BE A LOT OF LEARNING, I
THINK, I WAS GOING TO SAY A LOT
OF FUN, I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH
FUN IT WILL BE BASED ON THE
FRIENDS WHO HAVE COME BACK, SO
IT IS EXCITING.
IT WILL BE INTERESTING.
HOPEFULLY YOU RECOVER OVER A
PERIOD OF TIME, THAT BONE
DENSITY, MUSCLE MASS, WE GET A
GOOD HANDLE ON, HOPEFULLY WE
HAVE DONE OUR HARD WORK, SO THAT
WILL GET FULLY RECOVERED AND
THERE HAVE BEEN VISION ISSUES IN
THE PAST AND THOSE RESOLVE OVER
TIME, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE ARE
DOING ON THAT AND WE'LL KNOW
WHEN WE GET BACK TO EARTH BUT
THERE ARE LONG TERM EFFECTS THAT
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND, THAT IS
PART OF THE REASON WE DO THIS,
TO UNDERSTAND THEM BETTER.
>> HI, MY NAME IS SADIE WELCH.
I AM FROM ODYSSEY ACADEMY.
MY QUESTION IS WHAT KIND OF
RESEARCH DO YOU DO IN SPACE?
>> HI, SADIE.
WE DO A LOT OF RESEARCH.
WE DO A LOT OF BASIC RESEARCH UP
HERE.
MEANING, NOT THAT IT IS SIMPLE
BUT WE ARE STARTING OFF AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE RESEARCH POLE, AND
DOING A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT
SCIENTISTS CAN THEN USE TO MAKE
THE FINAL PRODUCT BACK ON EARTH,
SO WE LOOK AT DIFFERENT
MATERIALS LIKE HOW METALS FORM
UP HERE.
HOW CRYSTALS FORM.
WE HAVE ACTUALLY JUST RECENTLY
LOOKED AT HOW WE CAN MAKE
FIBER-OPTICS BECAUSE, IN THE
LACK OF GRAVITY, IN
MICROGRAVITY, THINGS FORM A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY, WE ALSO
DO A LOT OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
UP HERE, JUST THIS MORNING, I
WAS ACTUALLY WORKING ON AN
EXPERIMENT THAT IS GROWING STEM
CELLS, THAT IS BECAUSE STEM
CELLS, IN OUR BODIES, TEND TO
GROW INSIDE OF THE BONE MARROW,
AND SO WE THINK THAT IN
MICROGRAVITY, BECAUSE THEY ARE
IN THE SUSPENDED STATE LIKE THEY
ARE IN THE BONE MARROW, THEY
WILL ACTUALLY GROW HEALTHIER AND
THAT WILL HELP IT IN THE FUTURE
TO DEAL WITH LEUKEMIA, BLOOD
CANCER, AND OTHER THINGS THAT
STEM CELL MAY BE USEFUL FOR IN
OUR BODY.
WE ALSO LOOKED AT 3D PRINTING
DIFFERENT HUMAN MATERIALS, WE
ACTUALLY JUST DID OUR FIRST,
WHICH IS A SIMPLE TISSUE, BUT IF
THAT IS SUCCESSFUL, WE ARE
HOPING TO SOME DAY BE ABLE TO DO
THINGS LIKE BLOOD VESSELS THEN
EVENTUALLY DO THINGS LIKE ENTIRE
ORGANS, HEARTS, LIVERS, OR
KIDNEYS, THAT WOULD BE PRETTY
AWESOME.
>> HI, MY NAME IS ISABELLA.
MY QUESTION IS WHAT DO YOU THINK
IS THE MOST AMAZING ABOUT SPACE?
>> THE MOSS AMAZING THING THAT
IS WE ARE ABLE TO LIVE UP HERE.
IT IS INCREDIBLE TO THINK THAT
PEOPLE LIVE ONBOARD THIS STATION
FOR ALMOST 23 YEARS NOW.
WHEN I WAS YOUR AVERAGE, THAT
HAD NOT HAPPENED.
BASICALLY, AS LONG AS ANYONE 23
YEARS OLD OR YOUNGER HAS BEEN
ALIVE, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
CONTINUOUSLY LIVING IN SPACE.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE.
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE COME TO
GRIPS WITH THAT, THAT BIT OF
UNDERSTANDING.
SO I THINK THAT IS THE MOST
REMARKABLE THING ABOUT SPACE.
OBVIOUSLY, IT IS PRETTY COOL.
HOPEFULLY I DON'T FLOAT AWAY
HERE.
BUT YOU KNOW, THERE ARE OTHER
THINGS AS WELL.
>> HI.
MY NAME IS MALAYSIA.
MY QUESTION IS HOW LONG DOES IT
TAKE TO BECOME AN ASTRONAUT?
>> HI.
YOU KNOW, IT IS ACTUALLY A LONG
PROCESS.
SO WHEN YOU ARE SELECTED, YOU
HAVE TWO YEARS OF WHAT WE CALL
KIND OF BASIC TRAINING.
YOU LEARN HOW TO DO THE BASIC
SPACEWALKING SKILLS, HOW TO
DRIVE THE ROBOTIC ARM THAT WE
USE ON STATION, YOU LEARN HOW TO
FLY IN A SUPERSONIC JET.
YOU ALSO LEARN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE.
THEN AFTER THOSE TWO YEARS, YOU
WILL USUALLY HELP OUT IN THE
OFFICE.
THEN ONCE YOU GET ASSIGNED TO
THE FIRST MISSION, YOU TRAIN FOR
TWO YEARS FOR THAT SPECIFIC
MISSION.
SO, USUALLY, TO THE TIME YOU GET
SELECTED TO THE TIME YOU FLY FOR
THE FIRST TIME, IT IS ANYWHERE
FROM FIVE TO TEN YEARS THEN
AFTER THAT, ON AVERAGE, YOU WILL
FLY EVERY FIVE OR SIX YEARS, SO
IT IS A LONG PROCESS, BUT IT IS
INCREDIBLY COMPLICATED THING
THAT WE DO, SO IT TAKES A LONG
TIME TO LEARN WHAT YOU NEED TO
LEARN TO BE UP HERE.
>> HI.
MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE
FAVORITE THING TO EAT WHEN YOU
ARE IN SPACE?
>> MY CURRENT FAVORITE FOOD NOW
IS SPAGHETTI MEAT SAUCE, BUT
CANDY IS ALWAYS FUN TO EAT UP
HERE.
YOU CAN LET THINGS FLOAT.
HOPEFULLY YOU DON'T MAKE TOO
MUCH DEBRIS BECAUSE THEN WE HAVE
TO CLEAN THAT UP.
ANYTHING THAT YOU ENJOY ON EARTH
USUALLY WILL END UP ENJOYING IN
SPACE AS WELL.
YEAH.
IT VARIES OVERTIME.
WE HAVE BEEN HERE SIX MONTHS
THEN A MONTH AGO, MY FAVORITE
FOOD WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING
ELSE.
JUST LIKE EARTH.
THINGS CHANGE OVER TIME.
THE FOOD IS REALLY GOOD.
FOR WHAT WE ARE DOING UP HERE.
IT IS AMAZING HOW FOOD, THE FOOD
IS.
HI.
MY NAME IS ABIGAIL HUFF.
MY QUESTION IS HOW DOES LEARNING
ABOUT SPACE HELP US ON EARTH?
>> HI, ABIGAIL.
SPACE IS PRESENT IN A LOT OF
PARTS OF OUR LIVES.
PART OF THE MOST COMMON IS DPS,
RIGHT?
IT IS IN OUR PHONES.
HECK, IT IS IN OUR WATCHES.
AIRPLANES USE GPS TO FLY.
EVEN FARMERS USE IT NOW TO GROW
THEIR CROPS IN A LOT MORE
EFFICIENT WAY.
SO SPACE HELPS US THERE.
I TALKED ABOUT THE SCIENCE THAT
WE DO AND HOW THAT HELPS OUR
HEALTH.
SOME OF THE MATERIALS THAT WE
ARE DEVELOPING UP HERE WILL SOME
DAY ALLOW US TO HAVE FASTER
CONNECTIONS, FOR THINGS LIKE
INTERNET OR CELLULAR CONNECTIONS
SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS, REALLY
PLAY A PART IN OUR DAILY LIVES
THEN, ALSO, THE FACT THAT STEVE
SAID, WE HAVE BEEN UP HERE FOR
23 YEARS AS PEOPLE.
BUT SATELLITES HAVE BEEN AROUND
FOR MUCH LONGER THAN THAT.
WHAT THAT ALLOWS US TO DO IS
HAVE REPETITIVE CONSTANT VIEW OF
THE EARTH THEN LETS US STUDY HOW
THE CHANGES OVER TIME ARE
PROGRESSING SO THAT WE CAN
BETTER UNDERSTANDS HOW WHAT DO
WE NEED TO DO TO HELP OUR PLANET
OUT TO PROTECT IT SO YOU YOUNG
KIDS CAN ENJOY A BETTER PLANET
THAN WE HAD.
SO YEAH, OUR SPACE IS REALLY
PRESENCE IN OUR LIVES THEN
REALLY COOL TO BE A PART OF
HELPING HUMANITY OUT BY BEING UP
HERE.
>> HI.
MY QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU GIVE
BACK IN THE SPACE STATION AFTER
A SPACEWALK?
>> WELL, IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT
TO GET BACK IN TO THE SPACE
STATION AFTER YOU NO OUTSIDE.
HOW THAT WORKS IS WE ACTUALLY
HAVE A SPECIAL MODULE THAT WE
CLOSE OFF.
WE CLOSE IT OFF FROM THE REST OF
THE SPACE STATION.
WE PUMP DOWN THE AIR OUT OF IT,
THEN YOU END UP IN A VACUUM,
THEN YOU RELEASE WHAT LITTLE AIR
IS LEFT OUT IN SPACE, SO WE
RECYCLE AS MUCH AS WE CAN, SO
THAT MODULE WILL REMAIN OPEN TO
SPACE FOR THE DURATION OF OUR
SPACEWALK.
WE'LL GO OUTSIDE, WE'LL DO OUR
WORK FOR FIVE, SIX HOURS,
WHATEVER IT TAKES, WE COME BACK
INSIDE, WE'LL CLOSE THE HATCH ON
THAT MODULE, AND SEAL IT OFF
THEN WE'LL BRING THE AIR BACK
INTO THAT MODULE FROM INSIDE OF
THE SPACE STATION AND
REPRESSURIZE IT BACK UP TO THE
NORMAL PRESSURE, WHICH IS WHERE
WE ARE LIVING RIGHT NOW.
I MEAN, PRESSURE ONBOARD THE
SPACE STATION IS EVENTUALLY THE
SAME AS IT IS THERE ON EARTH.
BUT WE HAVE A SPECIAL MODULE
CALLED THE AIRLOCK, THAT LOCKS
IN AIR OR LOCKS OUT AIR
DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
>> HI.
MY NAME IS SADIE.
I AM FROM ODYSSEY ACADEMY.
MY QUESTION IS WHAT DO YOU DO
FOR ENTERTAINMENT IN SPACE?
>> HI, AGAIN, SADIE.
WELL, YOU KNOW, WE, QUITE A FEW
DIFFERENT THINGS.
THE BEST THING WE DO IS HANG OUT
WITH OUR FRIENDS UP HERE.
WE TEND TO DO THAT A LOT.
WE EAT MEALS TOGETHER.
WE HANG OUT AT NIGHT.
WE TALK ABOUT WHAT WE DID DURING
THE DAY OR TALK ABOUT THINGS
BACK HOME.
WE ALSO HAVE A LIBRARY OF MOVIES
THAT WE CAN WATCH, AND, AND
THERE IS SOME BRAND NEW MOVIES.
THERE IS REALLY OLD MOVIES.
YOU CAN CATCH UP ON ANY MOVIES
YOU MAY NOT HAVE SEEN BEFORE.
THEN A LOT OF US ENJOY READING,
WAY TO RELAX, AS YOU READ A
BOOK, LISTEN TO MUSIC JUST
ENJOY.
BUT REALLY, UM, YEAH, WE TRY DO
THINGS THAT ALLOW US TO RELAX
AND TAKE A BREAK FROM THE WORK
THAT WE DO UP HERE.
>> HI.
MY NAME IS ELIJAH.
MY QUESTION IS WHAT MATERIAL IS
USED TO MAKE ASTRONAUT BOOTS?
>> SO THE MATERIAL THAT IS USED
TO MAKE ASTRONAUT BOOTS IS
ACTUALLY A MULTI-LAYERED
MATERIAL, SO YOU HAVE GOT MULTI
LAYERED MATERIAL--IT IS THAT
READY TO EXPLAIN.
THERE IS A RUBBER BLADDER ON THE
INSIDE WITH A METAL SEAL THAT
CONNECTS TO IT THE SUIT, IF YOU
ARE GOING OUTSIDE.
ACTUALLY, RIGHT NOW, WE SHOULD
PROBABLY SAY THIS.
I AM IN SOCKS, SO I DON'T WEAR
BOOTS INSIDE.
I GUESS WHEN WE ARE RUNNING ON
THE TREADMILL, WE WEAR BOOTS OR
SHOES OF SOME FORM.
WHEN WE GO OUTSIDE, THE BOOTS WE
WEAR ARE SPECIAL, BECAUSE NOT
ONLY DO THEY HAVE TO SEAL THE
AIR IN, A METAL SEAL AND RUBBER
LINER ON THE INSIDE THEN HAS TO
PROTECT YOU FROM THE ENVIRONMENT
OF SPACE.
NOT JUST THE VACUUM, BUT EXTREME
HEAT, THE EXTREME COLD, EVEN A
LITTLE BIT OF MICRO PROTECTION
SO IT HAS MANY LAYERS THAT
PROVIDE THAT PROTECTION FOR YOUR
BOOTS, THE SAME AS THE REST OF
THE SUITS.
IT IS PRETTY REMARKABLE
MATERIAL.
>> HI.
MY QUESTION IS WHY DO ASTRONAUTS
MUSCLES GET WEAKER IN SPACE?
>> WELL, HI, WELL IT IS BECAUSE
MUSCLES NEED TO WORK TO STAY
STRONG.
UP HERE, IT IS EASY TO MOVE
AROUND BECAUSE WE ARE FLOATING
ALL THE TIME, SO, SO YOUR LEGS,
HE IS PUSH HI, THEY ARE NOT, YOU
ARE NOT STANDING UP.
ARE NOT WALKING.
YOU ARE NOT RUNNING.
AND SO THEY JUST GET WEAKER
BECAUSE YOU DON'T USE THEM QUITE
AS MUCH AS YOU NORMALLY DO BACK
ON EARTH.
AND THAT IS JUST IN DAY TO DAY
USE, RIGHT M WE FLOAT AROUND
FROM PLACE TO PLACING.
YOU SEE WE USE OUR FEET TO GRAB
ON TO THINGS, SO JUST SUPER
EASY.
BECAUSE OF THAT THE MUSCLES CAN
SH RING IF WE LET THEM.
BUT IF WE PREVENT THAT WE DO
ALLOT OF EXERCISE WE DO TWO
HOURS EVERY DAY AND THAT IS TO
KEEP THE MUSCLES STRONG AND YOU
KNOW, USUALLY ON EARTH, IF YOU
WORKED OUT FOR TWO HOURS EVERY
DAY YOU WOULD GET REALLY TIRED
BUT HERE, BECAUSE FOR THE REST
OF THE DAY, WE DON'T REALLY USE
THOSE MUSCLES MUCH THE RECOVERY
IS MUCH FASTER AND WE ARE ABLE
TO WORK OUT ON A MUCH MORE
REPETITIVE BASIS.
>> HI.
MY NAME IS GARCIA.
MY QUESTION IS WHAT SAFETY
PROCESSES DO YOU GO THROUGH TO
GET READY FOR LAUNCH?
>> THERE IS A HUGE TEAM OF
PEOPLE WHO WORK REALLY HARD TO
ENSURE THAT ALL THE ENGINEERING
SPECIFICATIONS AND EVERYTHING A
WE CAN THINK OF IS READY FOR THE
LAUNCH OF A VEHICLE.
THAT PROCESS ACTUALLY CONTINUES
FOR THE SPACE STATION WHICH HAS
BEEN UP HERE FOR 23 YEARS.
THERE ARE PEOPLE CONTINUOUSLY
LOOKING AT ENVIRONMENT OF THE
SPACE STATION, ANY NEW PIECES OF
EQUIPMENT THAT COME UP HERE, THE
WAY WE HAVE CONFIGURED OR SET UP
OR RACKS AND OUR POWER SUPPLIES,
ANYTHING ELSE WE DO, THERE IS
ALWAYS A TEAM OF SAFETY PEOPLE
LOOKING HARD TO MAKE, TO KEEP US
SAFE.
AND SO IT SORT OF STARTS WITH
THE DESIGN.
WE DESIGN TO BE SAFE THEN YOU
INSPECT AND VERIFY THAT YOU ARE
MAKING THOSE RARE REQUIREMENTS
THEN AS THINGS CHANGE, YOU HAVE
TO CONTINUOUSLY ACCESS THE
SAFETY ASPECTS FOR LAUNCH.
YOU KNOW, THERE IS NO WAY TO
MAKE THINGS PERFECTLY SAFE.
YOU CANNOT THINK OF EVERYTHING
POSSIBLE PROBLEM THAT COULD
EXIST, AND SO, YOU ARE, THERE IS
RISKS OBVIOUSLY INVOLVED IN ALL
OF THIS, BUT WE DO OUR BEST WITH
OUR CURRENT UNDERSTANDING TO
MAKE THINGS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE.
>> HOW DOES YOUR BODY REACH WHEN
YOU ARE LAUNCHING AT SUCH HIGH
SPEEDS?
>> WELL, CARSON, IT FEELS KIND
OF LIKE YOU ARE ON A ROLLER
COASTER OR MAYBE A REALLY FAST
JET, IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN IN
ONE OF THOSE, OR REALLY FAST
CAR, WHEN YOU FIRST HIT THE
ACCELERATOR, SO YOU HAVE A LOT
OF WHAT WE CALL G FORCES, BUT
THE GOOD THING IS THAT, THEY ARE
NOT ACTING TO GET THE BLOOD OUT
OF THE HEAD WHICH WOULD MAKE YOU
PASS OUT.
WE SIT OR LAY IN A WAY THAT THE
FORCES GOING THAT THE CHEST, SO
IT MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT MORE
DIFFICULT TO BREATH.
IT FEELS LIKE SOMEBODY OR
SOMETHING IS STANDING ON THE
CHEST WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO
BREATH BUT YOU ARE ABLE TO THINK
CLEARLY AND YOU ARE ABLE TO DO
THINGS.
IT IS REALLY A LITTLE BIT HARDER
TO MOVE YOUR ARMS OR MOVE THE
FINGERS AGAINST THE FORCES BUT
GENERALLY, THAT IS BUY.
YOU ARE ABLE TO FUNCTION AT YOUR
FULL CAPACITY.
>> HI, MY QUESTION IS WHATS THE
HARDEST PART OF EVERY DAY LIFE
IN SPACE?
>> THE ROUTINE, YOU GET INTO THE
ROUTINE, IT JUST WORKS OUT THE
SAME.
IT IS NOT NECESSARILY THE HEART
OF THE ENVIRONMENT YOU HAVE TO
GET ADJUSTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
WE DO MAINTAIN A VERY LONG AND
CONTINUOUS SCHEDULE AND FRANK
HAS BEEN UP HERE FOR ALMOST A
YEAR AT THIS POINT AND REALLY
HAS NOT HAD VACATION.
AND SO, GETTING THOSE BREAKS, SO
WE HAD TO BUILD THOSE INTO THE
WEEK SO WE TRY TO GIVE US
WEEKENDS OFF, WE TRY TO FIND
WAYS TO ALLOW OURSELVES TO RELAX
AND DO THAT RECOVERY SO THAT IS,
THAT IS SORT OF THE HARD ET
CETERA THING THE PACE AND THE
ROUTINE AND ALLOWING YOURSELF TO
REALLY PACE IT OUT AND TO BE
READY TO WORK ON ANY GIVEN DAY.
>> HI.
WHAT KINDS OF THINGS DO YOU
THINK WE MIGHT LEARN ABOUT THE
MOON THAT WE DON'T ALREADY KNOW
FROM APOLLO MISSION?
>> HI, OMAR.
THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION
BECAUSE, SOME OF THE FRIENDS,
WELL, HOPEFULLY GOING TO THE
MOON HERE SHORTLY AND WHO KNOWS
WHO ELSE MAY BE GOING IN THE
NEAR FUTURE, BUT I THINK THE
BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
ARTEMIS MISSIONS AND THE APOLLO
MISSIONS THAT WE PLAN TO GO
BACKING TO THE MOON AND STAY
THERE FOR LONGER PERIODS OF
TIME, SO TO DO THAT, WE HAVE TO
THINK THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
FOR IN INSTANCE, HOW DO WE
REDUCE ENERGY SO WE CAN USE IT
FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME HOW
DO WE PRODUCE WATER OR
REGENERATE WATER, SO WE ARE
GOING TO BE LOOKING AT HOW DO WE
USE THE MATERIALS THAT ARE
PRESENCE ON THE MOON, ESPECIALLY
THE ROCKS THAT ARE BROKEN UP,
CAN WE USE THOSE TO MAKE BRAKES
WE FOUND OUT SINCE THE APOLLO
MISSIONS THERE IS ICE ON THE
MOON CAN USE THAT ICE FOR THE
DAY TO DAY LIVING IN MORE
IMPORTANTLY, TO GENERATE FUEL OR
ENERGY FOR OUR SPACECRAFT.
AND SO, REALLY I THINK THE
BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IS THAT WE
ARE GOING TO GO THERE AND STAY
MUCH LONGER AND HOPEFULLY THE
THINGS WE LEARN IN STAYING
LONGER WILL HELP US EXPLORE
DEEPER INTO THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND
OUR UNIVERSE SOME DAY.
>> HI.
I AM A STRUCTURAL DESIGN
ENGINEER A AT BOEING ON BEHALF
OF THE STUDENTS I WOULD LIKE TO
THANK YOU FOR THE TIME WITH US
TODAY.
>> ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL THE
STUDENTS AT ODYSSEY ACADEMY.
WE WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO
MATT FROM ALL THE FRIENDS AT YSC
BUT TO ALL STUDENTS, THANKS SO
MUCH FOR THE CURIOSITY AND
DESIRE TO LISTENER.
THAT IS PROBABLY THE BEST THING
ABOUT BOEING ASTRONAUT WE VERY A
JOB THAT ALLOWS US TO CONTINUE
TO LEARN EVERY DAY.
AND TO CONTINUE TO GROW AND I
ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THE SAME.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU GOT TO TAKE CARE.
HAVE FUN.
>> STATION, THIS IS HOUSTON ACR.
THAT CONCLUDES THE EVENT.
>> THANK YOU TO ALL
PARTICIPANTS.
TAILINGS WE ARE NOW RESUMING
OPERATIONAL AUDIO
