00:00:24,357 --> 00:00:25,291
>> HELLO.

3
00:00:25,291 --> 00:00:26,693
I'M ASTRONAUT RANDY BRESNIK.

4
00:00:26,693 --> 00:00:28,528
WANNA KNOW ONE OF THE BEST PARTS

5
00:00:28,528 --> 00:00:29,562
ABOUT BEING AN ASTRONAUT

6
00:00:29,562 --> 00:00:30,797
UP IN SPACE?

7
00:00:30,797 --> 00:00:32,465
OUR VIEW OF THE EARTH FROM

8
00:00:32,465 --> 00:00:33,633
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

9
00:00:33,633 --> 00:00:35,668
IS ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR.

10
00:00:35,668 --> 00:00:38,304
AND VIEWING THE EARTH FROM SPACE

11
00:00:38,304 --> 00:00:39,873
IS A BIG PART OF OUR JOB.

12
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:41,641
IN ADDITION TO MANY OTHER

13
00:00:41,641 --> 00:00:42,842
IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS,

14
00:00:42,842 --> 00:00:44,144
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

15
00:00:44,144 --> 00:00:46,279
SERVES AS A GLOBAL MONITORING

16
00:00:46,279 --> 00:00:47,680
AND DIAGNOSIS STATION,

17
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,182
WE CAN CONDUCT OBSERVATIONS

18
00:00:49,182 --> 00:00:50,316
ACROSS THE GLOBE.

19
00:00:50,316 --> 00:00:51,951
AIMED AT UNDERSTANDING

20
00:00:51,951 --> 00:00:52,619
AND RESOLVING

21
00:00:52,619 --> 00:00:54,087
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES WE FACE

22
00:00:54,087 --> 00:00:55,522
ON OUR HOME PLANET.

23
00:00:55,522 --> 00:00:57,724
LET'S HAVE A LOOK.

24
00:00:57,724 --> 00:00:59,392
THE SPACE STATION OFFERS

25
00:00:59,392 --> 00:01:00,760
A UNIQUE VANTAGE POINT

26
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,561
FOR OBSERVING

27
00:01:01,561 --> 00:01:02,595
THE EARTH'S ECOSYSTEMS

28
00:01:02,595 --> 00:01:03,830
WITH HANDS ON

29
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:05,064
AND AUTOMATED CAMERAS

30
00:01:05,064 --> 00:01:07,267
AND IMAGE CAPTURE EQUIPMENT.

31
00:01:07,267 --> 00:01:09,169
THESE TOOLS ENABLE ASTRONAUTS

32
00:01:09,169 --> 00:01:11,271
TO BOTH OBSERVE AND EXPLAIN

33
00:01:11,271 --> 00:01:12,739
WHAT THEY'RE WITNESSING

34
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:14,207
IN REAL TIME.

35
00:01:14,207 --> 00:01:15,608
THE IMAGE CAPTURE EQUIPMENT

36
00:01:15,608 --> 00:01:16,843
ON THE SPACE STATION

37
00:01:16,843 --> 00:01:18,411
ALSO PROVIDES INPUT

38
00:01:18,411 --> 00:01:19,946
TO PERSONNEL BACK ON EARTH,

39
00:01:19,946 --> 00:01:21,114
WORKING TO PROGRAM

40
00:01:21,114 --> 00:01:22,182

42
00:01:23,683 --> 00:01:25,285
PROVIDING FLEXIBILITY

43
00:01:25,285 --> 00:01:26,386
AND AN ADVANTAGE

44
00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:27,787
OVER SENSORS ON

45
00:01:27,787 --> 00:01:28,988
UNMANNED SPACE CRAFT

46
00:01:28,988 --> 00:01:30,523
AND SATELLITES.

47
00:01:30,523 --> 00:01:31,591
SCIENTISTS AND RESEARCHERS

48
00:01:31,591 --> 00:01:33,359
FIND THIS ESPECIALLY USEFUL

49
00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:34,994
WHEN UNEXPECTED NATURAL EVENTS,

50
00:01:34,994 --> 00:01:36,729
SUCH AS VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS,

51
00:01:36,729 --> 00:01:39,866
EARTHQUAKES, HURRICANES, FIRES,

52
00:01:39,866 --> 00:01:41,034
AND OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS

53
00:01:41,034 --> 00:01:42,402
LIKE FLOODS OCCUR.

54
00:01:42,402 --> 00:01:44,604
THROUGH EXISTING INTERNATIONAL

55
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:46,339
AND INTERAGENCY PARTNERSHIPS

56
00:01:46,339 --> 00:01:47,307
FUNDAMENTAL TO

57
00:01:47,307 --> 00:01:48,675
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION,

58
00:01:48,675 --> 00:01:50,243
DATA SHARING THAT CAN

59
00:01:50,243 --> 00:01:52,078
BENEFIT PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD

60
00:01:52,078 --> 00:01:53,079
IS FACILITATED,

61
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:54,314
PROMOTING INTERNATIONAL
