00:00:28,094 --> 00:00:28,995
>> YOU'RE STRAPPED

3
00:00:28,995 --> 00:00:29,896
IN THIS SPACE SHUTTLE

4
00:00:29,896 --> 00:00:31,164
ON THE LAUNCHPAD

5
00:00:31,164 --> 00:00:32,966
AND THE COUNTDOWN GETS TO ZERO

6
00:00:32,966 --> 00:00:34,033
AND-AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE

7
00:00:34,033 --> 00:00:36,035
JUST IN A CAR WRECK BECAUSE

8
00:00:36,035 --> 00:00:37,070
THE SOLID ROCKET BOOSTERS

9
00:00:37,070 --> 00:00:38,538
LIGHT OFF AND THEY GIVE YOU

10
00:00:38,538 --> 00:00:39,706
A KICK IN THE BACKSIDE

11
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:40,907
LIKE YOU WERE JUST REAR-ENDED

12
00:00:40,907 --> 00:00:42,709
AT A STOP SIGN LITERALLY.

13
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:44,677
AND LAUNCH YOU INTO SPACE,

14
00:00:44,677 --> 00:00:45,678
AND EIGHT AND A HALF MINUTES

15
00:00:45,678 --> 00:00:46,413
LATER, YOU'RE THERE

16
00:00:46,413 --> 00:00:47,814
AND FLOAT OUT OF YOUR SEAT,

17
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:50,950
AND START TAKING IN THOSE VIEWS

18
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:52,886
WHICH I CAN'T DESCRIBE.

19
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:53,686
IF IT'S ONE THING I WISH

20
00:00:53,686 --> 00:00:54,320
I WAS BETTER AT,

21
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,722
IT WAS ACTUALLY DESCRIBING

22
00:00:55,722 --> 00:00:56,956
THAT EXPERIENCE OF BEING

23
00:00:56,956 --> 00:00:58,958
WEIGHTLESS OR EXPERIENCING

24
00:00:58,958 --> 00:01:00,326
THE VIEWS OF THE EARTH.

25
00:01:00,326 --> 00:01:01,795
IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW,

26
00:01:01,795 --> 00:01:03,229
SO INCREDIBLE.

27
00:01:07,867 --> 00:01:09,436
I WAS THERE FOR TWO

28
00:01:09,436 --> 00:01:10,270
SPACE SHUTTLE MISSIONS.

29
00:01:10,270 --> 00:01:11,171
SO I WAS NEVER THERE FOR

30
00:01:11,171 --> 00:01:13,006
MORE THAN 16 DAYS AT A TIME,

31
00:01:13,006 --> 00:01:14,340
BUT EVERY TIME I HAD

32
00:01:14,340 --> 00:01:15,775
A SPARE MINUTE, I WOULD GO TO

33
00:01:15,775 --> 00:01:17,544
A WINDOW, TAKE A LOOK OUT.

34
00:01:26,085 --> 00:01:26,953
THE SPACEWALKS ALWAYS SEEMED

35
00:01:26,953 --> 00:01:29,222
TO BE VERY, UH, BUSY

36
00:01:29,222 --> 00:01:31,224
AND TASK-FOCUSED EVENTS

37
00:01:31,224 --> 00:01:32,792
WHERE I GOTTA DO THIS

38
00:01:32,792 --> 00:01:33,726
AND I GOTTA MOVE OVER HERE

39
00:01:33,726 --> 00:01:35,195
AND DO THIS-- AND RARELY

40
00:01:35,195 --> 00:01:36,029
DID YOU HAVE A MINUTE WHERE

41
00:01:36,029 --> 00:01:37,030
YOU COULD JUST SAY,

42
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:38,164
"JUST TAKE A MINUTE

43
00:01:38,164 --> 00:01:39,833
"AND ENJOY THE VIEW."

44
00:01:39,833 --> 00:01:40,767
BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE THOSE

45
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:42,602
MINUTES EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE.

46
00:01:42,602 --> 00:01:44,037
AND THE VIEW FROM OUTSIDE

47
00:01:44,037 --> 00:01:45,238
THE SPACECRAFT, YOU KNOW,

48
00:01:45,238 --> 00:01:47,474
WITH THAT FULL PANORAMIC VISION

49
00:01:47,474 --> 00:01:48,808
THROUGH YOUR HELMET VISOR

50
00:01:48,808 --> 00:01:50,743
WAS JUST INCREDIBLE.

51
00:01:50,743 --> 00:01:51,945
SO I ALWAYS KID THOSE ASTRONAUTS

52
00:01:51,945 --> 00:01:53,246
THAT DON'T DO THE SPACEWALKS,

53
00:01:53,246 --> 00:01:54,113
YOU KNOW-- I SAID THE VIEW

54
00:01:54,113 --> 00:01:54,981
FROM INSIDE HERE

55
00:01:54,981 --> 00:01:55,949
THROUGH THIS FLAT WINDOW

56
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:57,851
IS PRETTY GOOD, YOU KNOW.

57
00:01:57,851 --> 00:01:58,718
THE VIEW FROM OUTSIDE

58
00:01:58,718 --> 00:02:00,086
IS JUST AMAZING.

59
00:02:07,293 --> 00:02:09,329
YOU SEE THE COLORS OF BLUE

60
00:02:09,329 --> 00:02:10,263
THAT YOU'VE NEVER EVEN

61
00:02:10,263 --> 00:02:11,064
SEEN BEFORE.

62
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:12,966
THE SHADES AND HUES OF BLUE

63
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:14,834
AND YOU SEE THAT FINE,

64
00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:15,768
THIN ATMOSPHERE

65
00:02:15,768 --> 00:02:17,370
THAT PROTECTS US.

66
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:18,304
IT'S JUST, UH,

67
00:02:18,304 --> 00:02:19,172
ALMOST OVERWHELMING

68
00:02:19,172 --> 00:02:20,640
WHEN YOU FIRST SEE IT.

69
00:02:26,813 --> 00:02:27,413
I THINK IF YOU'RE NOT

70
00:02:27,413 --> 00:02:28,615
A CONSERVATIONIST BEFORE YOU GO

71
00:02:28,615 --> 00:02:30,216
TO SPACE, YOU'RE AT LEAST

72
00:02:30,216 --> 00:02:31,551
PARTLY A CONSERVATIONIST

73
00:02:31,551 --> 00:02:32,418
WHEN YOU COME BACK.

74
00:02:32,418 --> 00:02:34,120
BECAUSE WHEN YOU SEE HOW THIN

75
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,288
THAT ATMOSPHERE IS,

76
00:02:35,288 --> 00:02:36,322
THAT PROTECTIVE LAYER

77
00:02:36,322 --> 00:02:38,024
THAT WE HAVE HERE

78
00:02:38,024 --> 00:02:39,926
THAT ALLOWS US TO WALK AROUND

79
00:02:39,926 --> 00:02:41,528
WITHOUT A SPACESUIT ON

80
00:02:41,528 --> 00:02:42,428
DOWN HERE, YOU KNOW,

81
00:02:42,428 --> 00:02:43,963
AND BREATHE THE AIR.

82
00:02:43,963 --> 00:02:44,831
YOU THINK, WOW, WE REALLY

83
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:45,765
HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS.

84
00:02:45,765 --> 00:02:46,699
BECAUSE IT DOES LOOK

85
00:02:46,699 --> 00:02:48,501
SO FRAGILE FROM SPACE.

86
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:54,974
I THINK IF WE COULD GET

87
00:02:54,974 --> 00:02:56,442
ALL SIX BILLION PEOPLE,

88
00:02:56,442 --> 00:02:57,710
OR HOWEVER MANY WE HAVE NOW

89
00:02:57,710 --> 00:02:59,979
ON THIS PLANET TO SEE THAT VIEW

90
00:02:59,979 --> 00:03:01,147
FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES,

91
00:03:01,147 --> 00:03:03,149
I THINK THE WHOLE PLANET

92
00:03:03,149 --> 00:03:04,517
WOULD CHANGE.

93
