play00:19

hello I'm Sunny Williams I'm up here on

play00:21

the International Space

play00:23

Station so this is node 2 this is a

play00:26

really cool module um of course most of

play00:30

these modules you'll see they have four

play00:32

sides uh and they're put together that

play00:34

way we could sort of w work on a flat

play00:37

plane either a wall a floor another wall

play00:41

or the ceiling but you know again all

play00:43

you have to do is turn yourself in your

play00:46

reference

play00:47

changes the reason I'm bringing that up

play00:49

is because this is where four out of six

play00:51

of us sleep and so people always ask

play00:54

about sleeping in space do you lie down

play00:56

are you in a bed um not really cuz it

play01:00

doesn't matter you don't really have the

play01:01

sensation of lying down you just sit in

play01:04

your sleeping bag so here's one sleep

play01:07

station right here I'm going in right

play01:09

now you can follow me if you

play01:15

want so I'm inside it's sort of like a

play01:19

little phone booth um but it's pretty

play01:21

comfy I've got a sleeping bag right here

play01:24

that we sleep in so we don't have sort

play01:26

of like a little bit of a cover we don't

play01:28

fly all over the place

play01:30

um but you know you can sleep in any

play01:32

orientation I have it sleeping feeling

play01:34

like I'm standing up right now but like

play01:36

you saw I'm on the floor but it doesn't

play01:38

matter if I turn over and I sleep upside

play01:42

down I can't have it I don't have any

play01:44

sensation in my head that tells me that

play01:46

I'm upside down so it really doesn't

play01:49

matter the Sleep Station is also like a

play01:51

little office we've got a computer in

play01:54

here as you can see we got a couple

play01:56

little toys I've got some books I've got

play01:58

some clothes and other things that make

play02:00

it sort of like home I'm coming

play02:06

out and just for reference that's one

play02:09

Sleep Station this one's

play02:13

another right

play02:16

here there's one on the ceiling if you

play02:18

want to call it right

play02:22

here and then there's a

play02:24

fourth on the other wall over

play02:28

here so of us sleep in a little bit of a

play02:31

a

play02:32

circle all right come on back there's

play02:34

more to show

play02:37

[Music]

play02:39

you I know that there's some questions

play02:42

about how to use the bathroom and how do

play02:45

you actually live in space like normal

play02:47

like at home I mentioned real quickly

play02:49

about getting up in the morning and

play02:50

brushing your teeth and washing your

play02:51

face well how do you do that well here

play02:55

is the bathroom essentially you get up

play02:57

in the morning and we have a little kit

play02:59

and it has

play03:00

has all the essential things that you

play03:03

need like your toothbrush and

play03:06

toothpaste and brush see how see how

play03:10

much better the brush makes my hair

play03:14

look I'm just joking it still stands up

play03:17

straight it doesn't matter where you are

play03:19

it's always going to stand up straight

play03:21

while you're up in space a lot of people

play03:23

ask about toothbrush and toothpaste so

play03:26

luckily enough toothpaste you can do it

play03:29

side right this way is sticky and so it

play03:32

sticks to your toothbrush no problem

play03:35

another cool thing is that water sticks

play03:40

to your toothbrush too if you can see it

play03:45

I'll have some water come

play03:46

out the water is pretty neat up in

play03:49

space it'll stick to your

play03:52

toothbrush and it will

play03:56

make a big bubble

play04:01

and that's just by surface

play04:06

tension and then you

play04:09

can drink it so a lot of people ask

play04:12

about what do you

play04:14

do with the toothpaste after you brush

play04:17

your

play04:25

teeth two

play04:28

options swallow it and it's sort of like

play04:32

mouthwash but it tastes a little

play04:36

gross or you can just spit it out in a

play04:39

paper towel and then you don't have to

play04:41

worry about it swallowing thing I

play04:44

wouldn't recommend at

play04:45

home I'm only up here for 4 months so

play04:48

it's not that

play04:49

[Music]

play04:52

bad one of the most pressing questions

play04:55

about using being living in space of

play04:58

course is the bathroom so let's let's

play05:00

take a look at that little piece of work

play05:03

come on

play05:05

[Music]

play05:12

in here we are at the throne this is

play05:16

awesome you might see the little um you

play05:18

might have noticed the little moon on

play05:20

the outside this is our orbital ouse

play05:23

right

play05:28

here

play05:33

and of course it serves for two

play05:36

functions number two right

play05:40

here I'll show

play05:42

you but you see it's pretty small so you

play05:45

have to have pretty good aim and you be

play05:48

be ready to make sure things get let go

play05:50

the right

play05:52

direction and it smells a little bit so

play05:54

I'm closing it up and that's of course

play05:56

for number two and this guy right here

play06:00

is for number one so there's sort of two

play06:03

slightly separate functions but you can

play06:05

do a little essentially both by hanging

play06:08

on right here and doing number one and

play06:11

number

play06:13

two I might add it's colorcoded so you

play06:15

really don't get it mixed up which is

play06:17

nice this is yellows for number

play06:21

one and also there's a selection

play06:26

of paper people always ask about to to

play06:29

paper what do you do with toilet paper

play06:30

what kind of toilet paper do you have we

play06:32

have gloves just because sometimes it

play06:34

does get messy we have some Russian

play06:37

wipes which are a little bit coarse if

play06:39

you like the coarse type of toilet paper

play06:41

we have some nice tissues which are nice

play06:43

and soft if you like soft toilet paper

play06:45

we have Huggies um just for any cleanup

play06:49

you know we're all babies once and this

play06:51

sort of helps and then if things get

play06:52

really out of control we have uh

play06:56

disinfectant wipes just to make sure we

play06:58

clean up here cuz you know just like the

play06:59

water I showed you the number one stuff

play07:02

can sort of go all over the place if you

play07:04

don't aim correctly and did I mention

play07:06

both of these have a little bit of

play07:08

suction so they should keep things going

play07:09

in the right direction but um like I

play07:13

said sometimes things get a little out

play07:14

of control if you are out of control

play07:16

yourself flying around so we have lots

play07:19

of protective stuff and of course you do

play07:21

have your privacy there's little

play07:26

door so other people know that you're in

play07:28

there

play07:32

here's a pretty cool place this is sort

play07:34

of like in your house where everybody

play07:35

meets in the morning uh after you wash

play07:38

your face brush your teeth you want to

play07:40

find something for breakfast and this is

play07:42

our kitchen you might notice there's all

play07:45

sorts of foods here uh it's like opening

play07:48

the refrigerator you got all your

play07:49

different stuff that you want to have

play07:51

drinks meats eggs vegetables

play07:55

cereals uh bread uh snacks and that's

play07:59

good place that's where you find all the

play08:01

candy uh side dishes and then some

play08:03

little Power Bars just in case so we

play08:06

have all this type of food some of it is

play08:08

dehydrated and so we have to hydrate it

play08:11

fill it up with water some of it is all

play08:13

ready made and then all we have to do is

play08:17

heat it up so something like this I'm

play08:19

pulling out barbecued beef brisket

play08:21

pretty

play08:22

yummy not only is this food made in the

play08:25

us but we also have food here from Japan

play08:29

uh we've got Russian food as you can see

play08:31

all these red containers are filled with

play08:33

food that's from Russia um and then we

play08:35

get some of our specialty stuff some

play08:37

things that we like some of our favorite

play08:40

stuff that your family can send up in

play08:42

fact I like fluffer Nutters and so I got

play08:45

sent up some fluff so I could make my

play08:47

fluffer Nutter with peanut butter so you

play08:49

have a lot of food up here no

play08:51

problems now want to say where we are so

play08:54

right now we're in the Japanese

play08:57

laboratory it's one Laboratory out of

play08:59

many here on the International Space

play09:01

Station it's actually on the left hand

play09:03

side if I was International Space

play09:05

Station and I was flying through space

play09:07

like this my left hand would be where

play09:09

the Japanese laboratory

play09:19

is so now again we're on the right hand

play09:22

side all the way on the right of the

play09:23

International Space Station this is

play09:25

Columbus the European module it has

play09:28

science EXP experiments all over you can

play09:30

see it looks a little bit crowded and

play09:32

here we do a lot of our medical

play09:34

[Music]

play09:39

experiments here we are in the US

play09:41

laboratory again this is a laboratory

play09:43

with science experience on all of the

play09:46

walls here all sorts of stuff that we do

play09:49

um and one of the things we also do is

play09:51

we exercise we have some exercise

play09:53

equipment on board the space station um

play09:55

we need to do that because we lose bone

play09:59

density and muscle mass while we're up

play10:01

here and that's a result of not having

play10:03

to fight against gravity so how we keep

play10:06

ourselves in shape are with a bike a

play10:09

treadmill and a weightlifting machine

play10:12

this is the bike you notice the clip

play10:14

pedals so all you need to do is actually

play10:16

clip your feet in and then you can start

play10:19

pedaling you don't need a seat cuz you

play10:22

don't sit down actually I haven't sat

play10:23

down for 6 months now so you don't need

play10:26

any any type of seat just make sure

play10:28

you're you're held in with your pedals

play10:30

you probably see that the bike bounces

play10:32

around a little bit as I move it it's

play10:34

not steady and held to the wall firmly

play10:38

and the reason for that is the space

play10:41

station is pretty big you saw that

play10:43

there's also solar rays on the space

play10:44

station if we start putting any forces

play10:47

into the space station it's going to

play10:48

make those solar rays bounce around a

play10:50

little bit so to prevent that the

play10:53

machines bounce around a little bit move

play10:55

around a little bit and that way we

play10:57

don't put any forces onto to the

play10:59

structure of the spacecraft out to the

play11:01

solar

play11:02

race all right a little farther on come

play11:11

on I'm here with my two buddies uh in

play11:14

the airlock actually these are two space

play11:17

suits uh that are ready primed up to go

play11:20

outside as we call it to go do a space

play11:23

walk in case we have to do any outside

play11:25

some of the things we do outside are

play11:27

just like inside repairs we have a lot

play11:29

of um electrical boxes and machinery and

play11:33

solar arrays in fact that I talked about

play11:35

earlier that are outside and sometimes

play11:38

they don't work quite right um remember

play11:40

Space is really cold and really hot and

play11:43

it's also the vacuum of space with no

play11:45

pressure and so some of the equipment

play11:47

doesn't work well all the time so we

play11:50

might have to go out and do a space walk

play11:52

right behind me is actually the hatch

play11:55

that you go out into space and right now

play11:57

we have it filled up with a couple other

play11:58

space suits cuz we have got four of them

play12:01

up here and some of our tools but right

play12:03

behind here is the hatch in which you

play12:05

actually go right outside into the

play12:08

vacuum of space the space suit is pretty

play12:10

big as you can see it's like being a

play12:12

football player um part of the reason

play12:15

it's so big and bulky is because of this

play12:17

backside this backpack it's like going a

play12:19

on a hike with a backpack but the

play12:21

backpack and the suit weighs about 300

play12:23

lb luckily in space nothing really

play12:26

weighs anything so you don't feel that

play12:28

it's so heavy

play12:29

but we need to have such a big suit

play12:31

because that guy back there is

play12:33

essentially um the the heart of the

play12:35

space craft this I call this actually a

play12:38

spacecraft it has all the oxygen for you

play12:40

it has all the carbon dioxide removal

play12:42

system for you it also has a heating and

play12:45

cooling system to make sure regulate our

play12:47

body temperatures while we're outside it

play12:50

also has a computer so it tells you on a

play12:53

display here if there's anything that

play12:55

going wrong with the suit if we're

play12:56

running out of oxygen if we have too

play12:58

much carbon Dio di oxide um or any type

play13:01

of electrical problem so it's a pretty

play13:03

awesome little spacecraft and uh

play13:05

actually got to go out use my spacecraft

play13:08

little spacecraft a couple times and it

play13:10

worked like a charm uh lucky that it

play13:12

works very

play13:15

nice you might want to see what the

play13:17

helmet looks like it's pretty cool too

play13:20

we don't usually go out like this so you

play13:21

usually can see when the helmet's open

play13:25

so you can see what it looks like inside

play13:29

somebody's little head would be inside

play13:31

of here so you can see you can turn your

play13:33

head all the way around while you're

play13:35

inside of there but the helmet stays

play13:36

still so that's uh determines your your

play13:40

how far you could

play13:41

see and uh it's usually pretty sunny out

play13:44

there so we have to wear our sunglasses

play13:46

and this is our sunglasses right here

play13:48

which make you look pretty

play13:49

[Music]

play13:51

cool this is the koala it stick sticks

play13:54

down below the uh space station uh it's

play13:59

one of those places you find yourself

play14:00

hanging out in all the time because all

play14:02

you want to do is look back at our

play14:03

planet I think some questions I had were

play14:05

about what do you do in your free time

play14:07

and you can't help but want to just come

play14:10

to the KOA and and look outside as much

play14:13

as you can and a lot of folks I I play

play14:16

this game with myself about where we're

play14:18

flying over the Earth try to come in

play14:21

here and just guess after being here for

play14:24

a little while you can sort of figure it

play14:26

out you can tell different cloud types

play14:28

over different continents you can tell

play14:29

different soil types over different

play14:31

continents so let's see and then of

play14:33

course there's a lot of ocean so usually

play14:35

we're over the ocean at first

play14:38

glance I will tell you in just a moment

play14:40

where we

play14:47

are there we go so right now we are

play14:50

right over Africa it's a little bit

play14:52

cloudy as you can tell but we're right

play14:55

over the continent of

play14:57

Africa hey what's that I think that's a

play15:01

soyou spacecraft that's the spacecraft

play15:04

that's taken us home to planet Earth

play15:06

today oh my gosh we might have to go

play15:09

take a look at

play15:10

that that's pretty cool it's a little

play15:12

bit smaller than the rest of uh the

play15:14

spacecraft the space station so you'll

play15:16

see um if we get go there it'll be a

play15:19

little bit more crammed but we're going

play15:22

you can look all the way back to the

play15:23

back of the spacecraft which is where

play15:24

the Russian segment is and then you

play15:26

could look all the way forward to the

play15:29

front of the spacecraft where the uh

play15:32

where the Japanese laboratory the

play15:34

European laboratory and the American

play15:36

laboratory are and then back to the

play15:39

solar arrays where we started in the

play15:42

this morning when we were looking out

play15:43

the Japanese

play15:57

window

play15:59

so other questions that we're here are

play16:02

um what would you recommend as a job if

play16:06

so and what type of person would want to

play16:08

be an astronaut I think people who would

play16:11

like to explore uh of course people who

play16:13

like math and science that's what this

play16:15

is all about um we have people in the

play16:18

office who are doctors teachers

play16:20

veterinarians Engineers Pilots so all

play16:24

sorts of people um become astronauts and

play16:26

I think if you could you see it's just

play16:27

sort of cool so I I think people who

play16:29

like to do a little adventure and like

play16:31

to do cool stuff probably usually become

play16:34

astronauts hey one thing I didn't show

play16:36

you or I talked about but I didn't show

play16:37

you was the exercise one of another

play16:40

piece of exercise device which is the

play16:43

advanced resistive exercise and that's

play16:45

what this is right here this is a red

play16:47

and you could probably see this

play16:52

bar you just do a little bit of

play16:54

maneuvering here stand by you have to

play16:57

set it up just like at any other

play17:02

[Music]

play17:07

gym hold

play17:11

on show you how this

play17:15

[Music]

play17:18

works so you can see you can change your

play17:21

attitude just by going from one module

play17:24

to the next going up from from the Koopa

play17:26

down

play17:27

here this is what we call the AED and

play17:30

with

play17:31

this you can lift weights

play17:36

woo based on vacuum in these cylinders

play17:39

just like you do at home at a gym for

play17:43

example if I wanted to do a squat I

play17:45

could do it like

play17:47

this oops I need some weight on this

play17:50

thing I'm not lifting with anything so

play17:52

it's sort of it's too

play17:56

easy one of the cool things you could do

play17:58

you could do things that you can't do at

play18:00

home for example single leg squats with

play18:02

just one leg cuz the other leg you won't

play18:05

fall

play18:07

over so all sorts of stuff you can also

play18:09

do bench press we have a bench that we

play18:11

could add on here so you can work on

play18:14

your Beach

play18:19

[Music]

play18:24

muscles hey akie what are you doing down

play18:27

there crashing

play18:29

things this is one of the cool things

play18:32

about Space 2 it sort of looks like

play18:34

there's a big old hole here but you

play18:36

don't even think twice about it you

play18:38

could just jump over the hole or if you

play18:40

want you can go jump into the hole I'm

play18:43

coming

play18:46

down

play18:53

woo then you can come right back up

play18:55

again like

play18:57

Superman woo

play18:58

[Music]

play19:03

wooo we're lucky we have a really cool

play19:06

big space station that you can fly

play19:07

around in that's actually called the pmm

play19:11

you might have saw it out the window

play19:12

it's a big silver canister what's really

play19:14

great about that is it's essentially our

play19:17

closet in our pantry or whatever you

play19:19

want to call it we have extra food down

play19:21

there we have extra clothes we actually

play19:24

throw the trash out down there so it's

play19:26

nice and organized and we have all of

play19:28

our stuff that we need while we're

play19:30

working in all these other modules all

play19:32

stowed in this location down here and

play19:35

it's a lot of fun to playing but we're

play19:36

going into the Russian segment be ready

play19:39

you don't need a passport

play19:46

[Music]

play19:50

either it goes a lot farther back than

play19:53

this uh we'll go take a trip and say

play19:55

hello to the boys down there in just a

play19:57

minute well let's do that first actually

play19:59

and then we'll go down to the soy at the

play20:01

very end this is y Guinea

play20:05

hi doing a little

play20:12

tour this is the fgb and what's cool

play20:15

about this module it is actually the

play20:18

very first piece of the space station

play20:19

that came up in 1998 the space station

play20:22

has been around for about now um man for

play20:26

12 years but it's been up in space for

play20:27

about 14

play20:29

years and this was the very first it is

play20:32

like the Russians pmm it has a lot of

play20:35

storage as you can

play20:46

[Music]

play20:52

see Cho

play20:56

choot so here here we are in the heart

play20:59

of the space station really this is the

play21:01

service M module this is the central

play21:04

Post in case we had any problems I know

play21:07

one couple of the questions were about

play21:08

what type of things do you have to worry

play21:10

about and some of the things we have to

play21:11

worry about in space are fire if we had

play21:14

a fire if we had a depressurization like

play21:16

we were hit by a micrometeorite and it

play21:18

made a hole or if we had some type of

play21:20

toxic atmosphere we use ammonia for our

play21:23

radiator so there is a possibility that

play21:25

ammonia could come into the vehicle and

play21:28

then it would be bad for all of us if we

play21:30

have any of those problems we come right

play21:32

here which we call the central post it

play21:34

is the main heart uh of the space

play21:36

station it was also the first computers

play21:39

that came up here that ran the space

play21:41

station and so behind this wall right

play21:43

here are these main computers so we

play21:46

gather here as a group of three or six

play21:49

and then figure out how we're going to

play21:50

either fight the fire patch the hole or

play21:53

solve the uh the toxic spill and what's

play21:56

cool about this module of course course

play21:58

it's the central post it also has uh

play22:01

Great Windows right down toward Earth it

play22:05

has uh controls to fly in uh visiting

play22:08

spacecraft if they need uh some

play22:11

assistance right here it has rushing

play22:13

computers as well as American computers

play22:15

to help us control anything we need to

play22:18

on the space station so a couple of our

play22:21

crewm mates back there ol ol novinsky on

play22:24

the right and Yuri uh malenchenko on the

play22:27

left

play22:28

and there's also a second bathroom here

play22:31

which is really cool because six of us

play22:33

going to one bathroom is really tough

play22:35

and so there's one bathroom here and one

play22:36

bathroom on the other side where I

play22:38

showed you and you can probably see on

play22:40

the wall behind ALG and Yuri some of the

play22:44

heroes of the Space Program um Corb

play22:48

Serge coralv who was a chief designer of

play22:52

putting men into space and of course on

play22:54

the right hand side Yuri gagaran the

play22:56

first man to go into into space so just

play22:59

keep reminds of of Our

play23:04

Roots Yuri what are you doing

play23:08

it making

play23:10

coffee

play23:13

Oh Black Coffee

play23:16

yeah looks

play23:21

good okay Spa hello we're going to check

play23:26

out our soos real quick quick make sure

play23:29

it's ready to

play23:31

go all right back to the

play23:34

[Music]

play23:41

soos I'm going I'm going to stop here

play23:43

just for a quick second you can see on

play23:45

the Russian spacecraft there's also

play23:47

other modules that stick out down and

play23:51

above uh right here is let's see I'm

play23:56

trying to be oriented

play24:00

that's a a um a place where we do space

play24:03

walks Run for the Russian for the

play24:04

Russian side there's Russian space suits

play24:06

in here and also a visiting vehicle

play24:08

which brought fruits and vegetables and

play24:11

becomes a trash container when we undock

play24:13

up on this side is also a future place

play24:16

where they're going to do space Walks

play24:18

from and connected to it is Kevin's

play24:21

Alexs and Y guine uh um uh soyu

play24:26

spacecraft and that was go see

play24:31

ours no

play24:44

[Music]

play24:56

problem coming down

play24:57

[Music]

play25:15

it's a little tricky getting in

play25:22

here this is the docking probe right

play25:25

here this big thing this helps us

play25:27

connect to the spacecraft this probe

play25:30

actually sticks into this

play25:33

cone and that's how the spacecraft this

play25:36

our so use becomes connected to the ISS

play25:39

initially that is then replaced by

play25:43

clamps which are around here that will

play25:46

allow the two spacecraft to be stuck

play25:48

together and then you can remove the the

play25:51

probe and The

play25:56

Cone

play26:06

you okay all right so here we are in the

play26:08

soyou this is what we call the Beto the

play26:10

living compartment B boy ATK in Russian

play26:14

um it also has a little bathroom it's

play26:16

not as good as the other bathrooms so we

play26:18

try not to use it too much it has

play26:20

drinking water in it if we need

play26:22

something to drink and then of course

play26:24

it's filled up with a lot of cargo uh

play26:27

for us

play26:28

um for us bringing up and also bringing

play26:31

back down it's has a second purpose when

play26:34

it comes back to Earth it serves as a um

play26:38

garbage container during The Descent

play26:40

we'll we'll get rid of this this area

play26:42

right here and everything that's in it

play26:44

will just burn up as it's coming into

play26:46

the atmosphere so that way we can get

play26:47

rid of a little bit of trash but the

play26:50

main area where we were on launch and

play26:52

where we're going to be on descent is

play26:54

down here cuz we're not part of the

play26:55

trash so we're in a safe place so we're

play26:58

in The Descent module

play27:02

s it's a little small but you can get

play27:08

[Music]

play27:20

in not sure how well you could see in

play27:23

here hold on for a second I'm going to

play27:25

turn it up this way just so you could

play27:27

see the hatch and you could see

play27:30

Kevin it's a little bit small but we'll

play27:33

we'll come in and show you

play27:34

[Music]

play27:37

around you coming in probably not okay

play27:45

just Mo this guy got to move a couple

play27:48

things we were just starting to get

play27:49

ready we we're preparing a couple days

play27:52

ago for our ride home it's a little bit

play27:56

squishy but everybody asks how do you

play27:58

sit in the soos and you sort of sit in

play28:01

your seat like this the seat is molded

play28:03

to your body and so you can just sort of

play28:05

Squish in here and be pretty relaxed

play28:08

everybody has a handmade seat for them

play28:12

and then of course there's a control

play28:13

panel and that's where we do most of our

play28:17

actions and work right here there's hand

play28:19

controllers which you can fly the

play28:21

vehicle with and there's a stick right

play28:23

here primarily used for communications

play28:26

uh when we're trying to talk to the

play28:27

ground so three of us fit in here like I

play28:31

said it's a little squishy but uh

play28:32

somehow it seems like we all managed to

play28:34

get in here and and fit pretty well and

play28:37

it's a pretty safe ride home you're

play28:39

probably wondering what's all this junk

play28:41

behind us well it's all of our parachute

play28:43

first of all and then it's all of our

play28:45

survival gear just in case we end up

play28:47

Landing in some strange place on the

play28:49

planet and nobody's there to rescue us

play28:52

right away we have all sorts of survival

play28:53

gear uh with us keeping us safe in here

play28:56

so they pretty much thought of

play28:58

everything and uh we'll be home on the

play29:00

planet within the next 12 hours pretty

play29:03

[Music]

play29:11

[Music]

play29:15

shocking
