1
00:01:39,391 --> 00:01:41,552
Our milky way is just one

2
00:01:42,978 --> 00:01:45,640
among billions of
galaxies in the universe.

3
00:01:48,108 --> 00:01:50,975
In every way, an
ordinary galaxy.

4
00:02:00,454 --> 00:02:03,036
It's 100,000 light years across.

5
00:02:16,345 --> 00:02:19,553
There are hundreds of
billions of stars here.

6
00:02:29,858 --> 00:02:33,146
Almost lost inside
this huge swarm

7
00:02:33,195 --> 00:02:35,231
is one average sized star.

8
00:02:38,950 --> 00:02:41,111
As stars go, it's
quite unremarkable.

9
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:47,657
Nevertheless, it's
the most special place

10
00:02:47,709 --> 00:02:49,199
in all the cosmos.

11
00:02:52,255 --> 00:02:56,419
Orbiting this star is
the only place we know

12
00:02:57,636 --> 00:03:01,220
in all the universe
to harbor life.

13
00:03:29,751 --> 00:03:33,164
Our beautiful planet
is a world of water,

14
00:03:35,507 --> 00:03:38,465
sparkling blue in the
light of our star.

15
00:03:43,014 --> 00:03:44,504
Two thirds of it is ocean.

16
00:03:48,854 --> 00:03:50,810
Gossamer clouds drift above it,

17
00:03:51,732 --> 00:03:53,222
driven by ocean currents.

18
00:03:56,570 --> 00:04:00,688
All of it is wrapped in
a delicate cocoon of air

19
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:05,071
that shields us from
our star's radiation.

20
00:04:13,628 --> 00:04:16,586
Three brave explorers
are about to leave

21
00:04:16,631 --> 00:04:18,041
the safety of earth.

22
00:04:24,139 --> 00:04:26,801
They are an American,
Terry virts,

23
00:04:27,726 --> 00:04:29,842
a Russian, Anton shkaplerov,

24
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:33,269
and an Italian,
Samantha christoferetti.

25
00:04:36,651 --> 00:04:41,611
Their mission: Six months in
space to study microgravity,

26
00:04:41,656 --> 00:04:44,944
do biomedical research,
and observe the earth.

27
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:50,245
They're sealed inside
this tiny metal cocoon,

28
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:52,997
a Russian soyuz
spacecraft traveling

29
00:04:53,043 --> 00:04:56,581
at 17,500 miles an hour.

30
00:04:58,465 --> 00:04:59,671
Their destination?

31
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:03,090
The international space station.

32
00:05:05,847 --> 00:05:08,714
It was built in orbit
by 16 countries.

33
00:05:10,936 --> 00:05:12,517
It's a research lab,

34
00:05:12,562 --> 00:05:14,018
training facility,

35
00:05:14,064 --> 00:05:15,725
and observatory,

36
00:05:15,774 --> 00:05:18,015
all powered by the sun.

37
00:05:20,362 --> 00:05:23,946
A truly awesome example
of what we can achieve

38
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:25,355
when we work together.

39
00:05:30,664 --> 00:05:33,280
J someone knocking at the door j

40
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:35,415
j somebody ringing the bell &

41
00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:37,451
j someone's knocking
at the door j

42
00:05:37,462 --> 00:05:37,996
j someone's knocking
at the door j

43
00:05:38,046 --> 00:05:40,708
j somebody's ringing the bell &

44
00:05:40,757 --> 00:05:43,043
j do me a favor j

45
00:05:43,093 --> 00:05:44,458
there they are.
J open the door j

46
00:05:44,511 --> 00:05:47,969
hey hey, you're
hung up in the cord.

47
00:05:48,014 --> 00:05:49,534
Already on board
to welcome the new arrivals,

48
00:05:49,558 --> 00:05:53,471
Russian crew members
Sasha samokutaev

49
00:05:54,729 --> 00:05:55,729
and Yelena serova.

50
00:05:59,150 --> 00:06:00,670
The arrival to the space station

51
00:06:00,694 --> 00:06:04,482
was possibly the happiest
moment of my life, really.

52
00:06:05,657 --> 00:06:07,301
And then they were,
Yelena, Sasha, and butch

53
00:06:07,325 --> 00:06:12,115
welcome us on board and it
was just sheer happiness.

54
00:06:12,163 --> 00:06:15,906
We hugged, really I was
like a child at that point,

55
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:18,245
I mean, it's something I
had dreamed of for years,

56
00:06:18,295 --> 00:06:20,251
I'd studied the space station,

57
00:06:20,297 --> 00:06:23,710
I'd worked so hard to get
there and finally I was there.

58
00:06:23,758 --> 00:06:24,998
Come on man.

59
00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:27,292
I heard you bagging all that.

60
00:06:27,345 --> 00:06:28,801
Hi, mom.

61
00:06:28,847 --> 00:06:31,304
Terry is welcomed
by commander butch wilmore.

62
00:06:36,187 --> 00:06:37,267
Great launch.

63
00:06:39,065 --> 00:06:41,351
You know it was a
pretty wild ride.

64
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:44,143
Butch describes the crazy scene.

65
00:06:44,195 --> 00:06:45,776
As I watched Anton, I mean,

66
00:06:45,822 --> 00:06:48,188
he was thrilled and doing flips,

67
00:06:48,241 --> 00:06:51,199
and excited, floating
around hitting the ceiling.

68
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:54,910
Samantha, the look on her face,

69
00:06:54,956 --> 00:06:57,868
just absolutely thrilling,
it was literally

70
00:06:57,918 --> 00:07:00,375
electric in the room,
it was fabulous.

71
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:02,140
Samantha recalls her first ever

72
00:07:02,172 --> 00:07:04,379
view from space.

73
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:06,881
But I just
couldn't resist take a peek

74
00:07:09,471 --> 00:07:13,214
and I could just see
the earth majestically

75
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:15,552
flowing by and it
was like a river.

76
00:07:18,980 --> 00:07:23,940
And you know, I don't
know what happiness is,

77
00:07:25,195 --> 00:07:27,231
but I was definitely
happy at that time.

78
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:35,193
The cupella is a magical window

79
00:07:35,246 --> 00:07:40,206
unlike any other on the
spectacle of our earth

80
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:45,545
and ourselves, past,
present and future.

81
00:07:55,850 --> 00:07:58,216
What I always
found especially moving

82
00:07:58,269 --> 00:08:03,138
were the passes where we
would fly from the Atlantic

83
00:08:04,567 --> 00:08:06,527
and then fly over Gibraltar
onto the mediterranean

84
00:08:06,569 --> 00:08:09,311
and it was almost like
I was doing this journey

85
00:08:09,364 --> 00:08:13,778
that travelers from myths
and legends and the past

86
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:17,570
had dreamt off or performed
in the reverse way

87
00:08:17,622 --> 00:08:19,738
right from the mediterannean,
through Gibraltar,

88
00:08:19,791 --> 00:08:22,874
which once was considered
the end of the known world.

89
00:08:24,421 --> 00:08:26,833
More than 500 years ago

90
00:08:26,881 --> 00:08:30,624
explorers rounded the
stormy tip of South Africa.

91
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:35,379
As an omen for future
trade, they named it

92
00:08:35,432 --> 00:08:36,717
the cape of good hope.

93
00:08:39,769 --> 00:08:43,557
At the same time, the
glorious Caribbean beckoned

94
00:08:43,606 --> 00:08:46,643
with the untold riches
of the new world.

95
00:08:50,655 --> 00:08:55,319
Aboriginal people came from
Asia more than 30,000 years ago

96
00:08:56,494 --> 00:08:58,735
bringing their spiritual
ties to this land,

97
00:09:00,123 --> 00:09:03,240
the continent we now
know as Australia.

98
00:09:10,175 --> 00:09:12,587
The mauri people from polynesia

99
00:09:12,635 --> 00:09:16,969
traveled thousands of
miles in tiny canoes

100
00:09:17,015 --> 00:09:21,600
across the pacific ocean before
they reached New Zealand.

101
00:09:26,858 --> 00:09:30,100
Home to the ancient
inca civilization

102
00:09:30,153 --> 00:09:35,113
the longest mountain range
in the world, the andies.

103
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:39,443
They stretch 45,000 miles
across some of the most

104
00:09:39,496 --> 00:09:44,456
extreme climate zones on earth,
from ice fields to deserts.

105
00:09:48,463 --> 00:09:52,877
The oldest and driest desert
is the namib in Africa.

106
00:09:58,598 --> 00:10:01,385
You can see our
climates from space,

107
00:10:01,434 --> 00:10:03,925
the Great Lakes of north America

108
00:10:03,978 --> 00:10:06,811
lie trapped in ice and snow

109
00:10:06,856 --> 00:10:08,517
for more than a
third of the year.

110
00:10:11,194 --> 00:10:14,903
You can also see evidence
of earths violent past.

111
00:10:16,533 --> 00:10:20,242
Asteroid impacts have left
scars on it's surface.

112
00:10:21,704 --> 00:10:25,572
This crater in Quebec
is 62 miles across.

113
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:30,372
The earth is still active,

114
00:10:31,923 --> 00:10:33,879
volcanoes tear
through it's surface,

115
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:39,882
the comchakka peninsular in
Russia has over 100 of them.

116
00:10:43,768 --> 00:10:46,976
Now Terry birds
describes his experience.

117
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:48,249
One of the most beautiful things

118
00:10:48,273 --> 00:10:50,855
to see from space is
thunder storms at night.

119
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:52,436
And there's certain
parts of the earth,

120
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:56,694
central Africa especially,
but also south east Asia,

121
00:10:56,739 --> 00:10:59,606
there are just amazing
amounts of thunder storms.

122
00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:02,275
You see thousands of
flashes per minute.

123
00:11:03,746 --> 00:11:05,474
Unbelieveable amount of
power, when you think about

124
00:11:05,498 --> 00:11:07,659
a giant lightning bolt
going off near your house

125
00:11:07,709 --> 00:11:09,950
and how loud it is,
and how that scares you

126
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:11,994
and the dog runs
under the table,

127
00:11:12,046 --> 00:11:13,957
well when you see it from
space there's so many

128
00:11:14,007 --> 00:11:16,794
of these things happening
at the same time,

129
00:11:16,843 --> 00:11:19,835
it's truly amazing.

130
00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:30,225
You see power, a
funnel 25 miles in diameter

131
00:11:30,273 --> 00:11:32,514
of the center of a
hurricane or a typhoon

132
00:11:32,567 --> 00:11:34,023
and you go oh my.

133
00:11:34,068 --> 00:11:36,480
= typhoon mysac was amazing,

134
00:11:36,529 --> 00:11:38,815
I've never seen
anything like that,

135
00:11:38,865 --> 00:11:41,026
the eye was so big,
so well defined.

136
00:11:41,075 --> 00:11:44,738
That you realize
that that's energy

137
00:11:44,787 --> 00:11:47,324
and it power, powerful energy.

138
00:11:49,375 --> 00:11:53,163
Far above the
storm, every drop of water

139
00:11:53,213 --> 00:11:54,999
is carefully rationed.

140
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:56,358
There's no showers in space,

141
00:11:56,382 --> 00:11:59,169
so there's no, you can't
just go under the water

142
00:11:59,219 --> 00:12:01,335
and let it run, it's
just kind of wet towels

143
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,094
and wiping down, but
you can get pretty clean

144
00:12:04,140 --> 00:12:06,256
and washing your
hair is not too bed.

145
00:12:08,895 --> 00:12:11,181
In principle we
want to recycle all the water

146
00:12:11,231 --> 00:12:13,597
which means that the
urine gets recycled,

147
00:12:13,650 --> 00:12:17,859
but also your sweat, all
the humidity from the air

148
00:12:17,904 --> 00:12:20,065
which is accuperated
into the system

149
00:12:20,114 --> 00:12:23,652
via the air conditioning
system also gets recycled

150
00:12:23,701 --> 00:12:24,816
into portable water.

151
00:12:26,454 --> 00:12:28,695
It's not 100% efficient system,

152
00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:31,865
so we do have water bags on
the space station as well.

153
00:12:33,461 --> 00:12:36,248
The space x
resupply ship called dragon

154
00:12:36,297 --> 00:12:38,538
arrives from Florida.

155
00:12:38,591 --> 00:12:42,209
It's one of the first commercial
craft to bring up supplies.

156
00:12:42,262 --> 00:12:44,674
It brings food
and water and equipment,

157
00:12:44,722 --> 00:12:46,713
and without that we
wouldn't be able to live

158
00:12:46,766 --> 00:12:49,223
more then a few extra
months on the space station.

159
00:12:50,728 --> 00:12:53,390
But on earth we kind of
don't have any supply ships,

160
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:54,708
it's almost like
a mission to Mars

161
00:12:54,732 --> 00:12:56,393
when you're not gonna
get a supply ship

162
00:12:56,442 --> 00:12:58,182
you have to pack
everything with you.

163
00:13:01,572 --> 00:13:03,688
When we're all
doing cargo ops together,

164
00:13:03,741 --> 00:13:06,323
I mean it is organized
bedlam, literally,

165
00:13:06,369 --> 00:13:09,532
criss crossing, people
flying, packages flying,

166
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:11,616
going here and there,
and you have to get them

167
00:13:11,666 --> 00:13:12,872
in the right place,

168
00:13:12,917 --> 00:13:13,656
you can't put it
in the wrong spot

169
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:14,620
because you'll lose it.

170
00:13:14,669 --> 00:13:15,624
You won't be able to find it

171
00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:16,625
because there's so much,

172
00:13:16,671 --> 00:13:18,081
literally thousands of items

173
00:13:18,131 --> 00:13:19,525
and you can't remember
where you put every single

174
00:13:19,549 --> 00:13:20,755
one of them.

175
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:21,664
That's why we have to
have this database.

176
00:13:21,718 --> 00:13:23,800
We lost a 14 inch torque wrench

177
00:13:23,845 --> 00:13:25,210
and it was gone for five weeks,

178
00:13:25,263 --> 00:13:26,423
and just floated off I guess,

179
00:13:26,472 --> 00:13:27,950
and went into some
little nook and cranny

180
00:13:27,974 --> 00:13:31,011
somewhere, hid itself, and it
finally reappeared one day.

181
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:47,615
I like to sleep floating.

182
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:51,118
So I did not attach my sleeping
bag to the walls at all,

183
00:13:51,164 --> 00:13:53,142
and especially at the
beginning, I would just like,

184
00:13:53,166 --> 00:13:55,407
close my eyes and
let myself float,

185
00:13:55,460 --> 00:13:56,620
and just fall asleep.

186
00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:03,047
Butch and Terry

187
00:14:03,092 --> 00:14:04,457
are getting ready
for a space walk.

188
00:14:05,887 --> 00:14:07,468
There are a lot
of complex systems

189
00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:09,799
on the outside of the station,

190
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:12,386
and sometimes, they need fixing.

191
00:14:12,435 --> 00:14:13,787
If you wanna
go outside of course

192
00:14:13,811 --> 00:14:16,018
you have to survive
in outer space.

193
00:14:16,064 --> 00:14:18,601
This suit allows you to do that.

194
00:14:18,649 --> 00:14:21,186
So butch really
fills out the suit,

195
00:14:21,235 --> 00:14:23,601
but it also means when you're
trying to put the suit on

196
00:14:23,654 --> 00:14:25,440
or take it off, it's
quite some work.

197
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:31,488
Getting out of the hatch is

198
00:14:31,537 --> 00:14:33,903
an entire operation
in and of itself.

199
00:14:33,956 --> 00:14:35,821
We have so much equipment on us.

200
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:38,161
Your backpack tends to
bang into the hatch,

201
00:14:38,211 --> 00:14:40,293
or your helmet wants
to bang into the hatch.

202
00:14:40,338 --> 00:14:44,172
You walk around by grabbing
onto things with your gloves,

203
00:14:44,217 --> 00:14:47,584
almost 300 degrees on the sun
side of the space station.

204
00:14:47,637 --> 00:14:49,844
You get in the shade,
it's minus 275 degrees.

205
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:51,880
You feel that inside the suit.

206
00:14:51,933 --> 00:14:55,300
My fingertips in the sunlight,

207
00:14:55,353 --> 00:14:58,641
like, I could feel
them on fire almost,

208
00:14:58,689 --> 00:15:01,021
from the fatigue a little
bit but also from the heat

209
00:15:01,067 --> 00:15:03,558
coming through on that
sun side of the orbit.

210
00:15:03,611 --> 00:15:05,897
So you know, I'd curl
my fingers at times

211
00:15:05,947 --> 00:15:07,049
and put them in the
shade a little bit

212
00:15:07,073 --> 00:15:08,153
and let them cool down.

213
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:11,595
Okay butch, we'll take them.

214
00:15:11,619 --> 00:15:13,514
You can lose where
you are on the station.

215
00:15:13,538 --> 00:15:15,745
So you're always thinking
you have a safety tether

216
00:15:15,790 --> 00:15:16,996
attached to the station.

217
00:15:17,041 --> 00:15:19,123
It's on a reel, like a
fishing reel type thing

218
00:15:19,168 --> 00:15:20,704
with a spring that
always reels it in.

219
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:23,290
You can be upside down,
twisted, inverted,

220
00:15:23,339 --> 00:15:26,877
and completely lose
your spatial awareness

221
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:29,008
about where you are and
what your attitude is,

222
00:15:29,053 --> 00:15:32,545
and you can easily get tangled
up in that safety tether

223
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:34,134
if you're not cautious.

224
00:15:35,518 --> 00:15:37,224
Every single movement you make,

225
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:40,603
you're making an effort
to think through it.

226
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:45,315
The outside of the space station

227
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:46,567
is not just a sidewalk.

228
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:50,230
It's a jungle of
wires and equipment

229
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:53,070
and metal bars and tresses.

230
00:15:55,997 --> 00:15:58,079
Well, if you accidentally
sliced your glove,

231
00:15:58,124 --> 00:16:00,285
or your space suit on
one of those sharp edges,

232
00:16:00,334 --> 00:16:01,574
that could create a leak,

233
00:16:03,045 --> 00:16:05,252
and if that leak were big
enough, you would die.

234
00:16:10,136 --> 00:16:13,469
The hardest thing
during a space walk, for me,

235
00:16:13,514 --> 00:16:15,175
is getting out of the hut.

236
00:16:19,103 --> 00:16:21,560
The only way that
we found to actually get

237
00:16:21,606 --> 00:16:25,269
butch to come out of the
upper torso of the hut

238
00:16:25,318 --> 00:16:28,731
was for me to basically, push
and shake, and push and shake,

239
00:16:28,779 --> 00:16:32,021
until he finally was able to
free himself from the suit.

240
00:16:41,292 --> 00:16:42,623
Breathe!

241
00:16:46,047 --> 00:16:47,207
Woo!

242
00:16:47,256 --> 00:16:48,256
There we go.

243
00:16:54,847 --> 00:16:56,428
Holidays in space were great,

244
00:16:56,474 --> 00:16:58,806
but to be honest, I missed home.

245
00:16:58,851 --> 00:17:01,684
Of course we didn't wanna
leave Santa hanging.

246
00:17:01,729 --> 00:17:04,391
If there's somebody that
you don't wanna make mad,

247
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,646
it's Santa clause,

248
00:17:05,691 --> 00:17:07,531
so we put the milk and
cookies in the air lock.

249
00:17:07,568 --> 00:17:08,899
We weren't sure exactly how

250
00:17:08,945 --> 00:17:10,606
he would get in
the space station,

251
00:17:10,655 --> 00:17:12,020
but we assumed the
airlock would be

252
00:17:12,073 --> 00:17:13,383
kind of our equivalent
of a chimney.

253
00:17:13,407 --> 00:17:15,147
So we thought that
would be a good place

254
00:17:15,201 --> 00:17:16,657
to leave the milk and cookies.

255
00:17:18,454 --> 00:17:19,660
= ooh!

256
00:17:20,540 --> 00:17:21,825
Wow.

257
00:17:21,874 --> 00:17:22,829
Hey!

258
00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:23,830
Wow.

259
00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:24,911
For you.

260
00:17:24,961 --> 00:17:25,961
= nice.

261
00:17:27,213 --> 00:17:28,703
For your haircut?

262
00:17:29,674 --> 00:17:30,834
= that is cool.

263
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:32,498
I think this is a secret message

264
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:33,962
that I need to cut my hair.

265
00:17:35,221 --> 00:17:36,323
I speak three languages.

266
00:17:36,347 --> 00:17:37,962
I speak english,
Russian, and Tennessee.

267
00:17:40,851 --> 00:17:42,057
As you're learning Russian,

268
00:17:42,103 --> 00:17:43,783
they say the first 10
years is the hardest.

269
00:17:44,814 --> 00:17:45,814
That's a fact!

270
00:17:48,693 --> 00:17:50,379
And then all of a sudden,
the day arrives, boom!

271
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:52,564
And it's time to go home.

272
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,902
The soyuz spacecraft
is ready to take butch,

273
00:17:56,951 --> 00:17:58,532
Sasha, and yolana home.

274
00:18:00,538 --> 00:18:01,723
And of course,
you're looking forward,

275
00:18:01,747 --> 00:18:03,487
you're coming home,
your wife, your family,

276
00:18:03,541 --> 00:18:05,327
you've been away from
them for eight months.

277
00:18:05,376 --> 00:18:06,991
Derek's man to man time,

278
00:18:07,044 --> 00:18:07,829
make us proud.

279
00:18:07,878 --> 00:18:09,084
But of course,

280
00:18:09,130 --> 00:18:10,040
the people that you're
leaving behind too,

281
00:18:10,089 --> 00:18:11,233
you spent six months with them,

282
00:18:11,257 --> 00:18:12,526
and it's a very
melancholy feeling,

283
00:18:12,550 --> 00:18:14,211
because the hatch shuts,

284
00:18:14,260 --> 00:18:15,716
and they're gone,

285
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:17,155
and you realize that part
of your life is over,

286
00:18:17,179 --> 00:18:19,716
and you're not gonna
have this same fellowship

287
00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:21,130
with those people ever again,

288
00:18:21,183 --> 00:18:23,469
and it is a sad feeling.

289
00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:24,519
See you bud.

290
00:18:33,487 --> 00:18:34,272
J baby break a sweat j

291
00:18:34,322 --> 00:18:35,232
j break a sweat j

292
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:37,522
j baby break a sweat j

293
00:18:37,575 --> 00:18:38,985
j don't get tired yet

294
00:18:39,035 --> 00:18:40,150
j tired yet j

295
00:18:40,202 --> 00:18:41,692
j don't get tired yet

296
00:18:41,746 --> 00:18:43,599
in space, without
gravity pulling you down,

297
00:18:43,623 --> 00:18:46,911
you grow, and I grew
almost two inches.

298
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,200
Unfortunately the minute
I got back to earth,

299
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:50,584
I lost those.

300
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:54,088
In zero g,
without the loading of gravity,

301
00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:56,875
your bones and muscles
will weaken very quickly.

302
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:01,591
To stay in shape is
extremely important

303
00:19:01,641 --> 00:19:04,098
for the crews to
exercise, a lot.

304
00:19:04,143 --> 00:19:05,428
J baby break a sweat j

305
00:19:05,478 --> 00:19:06,478
j break a sweat j

306
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,010
j baby break a sweat j

307
00:19:08,064 --> 00:19:10,125
well, we have two
and a half hours of exercise

308
00:19:10,149 --> 00:19:11,355
scheduled every day,

309
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,391
and that includes cardio,

310
00:19:13,444 --> 00:19:16,777
and this marvelous machine,
which is called arid,

311
00:19:16,822 --> 00:19:20,110
and you can do things like,
squats and dead lifts,

312
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:21,399
and shoulder presses.

313
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:27,155
So this is a great
example of no three being busy.

314
00:19:27,208 --> 00:19:29,620
I'm working on the bathroom,

315
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:32,251
and there's a lot of plumbing,
and valves, and systems

316
00:19:32,296 --> 00:19:33,661
that I was changing,

317
00:19:33,714 --> 00:19:35,250
all while Samantha's exercising.

318
00:19:35,299 --> 00:19:36,755
It's a busy place,

319
00:19:36,801 --> 00:19:39,508
but it's important to keep
this equipment working.

320
00:19:39,553 --> 00:19:40,463
J baby break a sweat j

321
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:41,673
alright, Samantha.

322
00:19:41,722 --> 00:19:43,462
I'm gonna put the
final clip in here.

323
00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:46,260
I kept joking that

324
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:47,891
he wouldn't be
qualified for his flight

325
00:19:47,937 --> 00:19:50,223
unless he came with
me to my hair dresser

326
00:19:50,272 --> 00:19:51,637
to learn how to cut my hair.

327
00:19:52,858 --> 00:19:53,768
Of all the things
we do as astronauts,

328
00:19:53,818 --> 00:19:54,978
this scares me the most.

329
00:19:58,114 --> 00:20:00,480
For the crews
that live on the station,

330
00:20:00,533 --> 00:20:02,444
one of the most
important things of all

331
00:20:02,493 --> 00:20:05,200
is being able to
see, from day to day

332
00:20:05,246 --> 00:20:08,659
what we here on the ground
can't see so clearly.

333
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,332
What is happening to our earth,

334
00:20:12,378 --> 00:20:15,165
and how we are changing it.

335
00:20:19,301 --> 00:20:22,668
We began with a home
of lush, green forests,

336
00:20:22,722 --> 00:20:24,007
animals, and plants.

337
00:20:26,934 --> 00:20:28,549
With more and more
of us to feed,

338
00:20:28,602 --> 00:20:30,934
we began clearly
the land for farms,

339
00:20:32,898 --> 00:20:34,809
but when you cut down the trees,

340
00:20:34,859 --> 00:20:36,440
there are other losses too.

341
00:20:38,779 --> 00:20:41,862
Great forests once covered much
of the island of Madagascar.

342
00:20:45,161 --> 00:20:47,197
You can see how many
of them are gone.

343
00:20:48,706 --> 00:20:50,742
Without tree roots to anchor it,

344
00:20:50,791 --> 00:20:54,579
the red soil oozes down
hill, clogging the rivers,

345
00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:55,959
and vanishing into the sea.

346
00:20:59,467 --> 00:21:03,335
Unique animals, like the
lemurs are losing their homes.

347
00:21:09,977 --> 00:21:13,845
The great rainforest in
Brazil continues to disappear.

348
00:21:15,941 --> 00:21:19,183
It's home to nearly half
the species found on earth.

349
00:21:23,032 --> 00:21:25,114
In just four decades,

350
00:21:25,159 --> 00:21:27,946
almost half a
million square miles

351
00:21:27,995 --> 00:21:30,281
have been cut down and burned.

352
00:21:36,086 --> 00:21:39,578
From space you can
see huge smoke plumes

353
00:21:39,632 --> 00:21:42,999
stretching across the rainforest
for hundreds of miles.

354
00:21:45,346 --> 00:21:49,931
Thousands of species up
in smoke, forever lost.

355
00:21:52,144 --> 00:21:54,180
As the forests burn,

356
00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:57,188
carbon dioxide and
other greenhouse gasses

357
00:21:57,233 --> 00:21:59,394
spew into our atmosphere.

358
00:22:04,365 --> 00:22:07,448
We've always taken our
fresh air for granted,

359
00:22:07,493 --> 00:22:11,031
but we know now that
the fossil fuels we burn

360
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,288
also release clouds of pollution
into the air we breathe.

361
00:22:15,668 --> 00:22:17,499
They fill the
atmosphere with gasses

362
00:22:17,545 --> 00:22:19,251
that cause the
climate to change.

363
00:22:21,465 --> 00:22:25,208
As a result, the earth's
temperature is rising.

364
00:22:30,307 --> 00:22:31,672
In California,

365
00:22:31,725 --> 00:22:35,968
it's affecting our most precious
resource on earth, water.

366
00:22:37,606 --> 00:22:40,689
Seeing California
is beautiful from space.

367
00:22:40,734 --> 00:22:43,441
It actually looks like a
giant ice cream scooper

368
00:22:43,487 --> 00:22:45,318
went right down the
middle part of the state

369
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:47,195
and scooped out
the central valley,

370
00:22:47,241 --> 00:22:48,777
but it's very brown,

371
00:22:48,826 --> 00:22:51,363
and you could really tell
there's a drought going on,

372
00:22:51,412 --> 00:22:53,653
and that they could
probably use a lot of rain.

373
00:22:55,416 --> 00:22:57,452
In efforts to save parched crops

374
00:22:57,501 --> 00:22:59,287
we used ground water.

375
00:22:59,336 --> 00:23:02,043
So much of it in
the last 75 years,

376
00:23:02,089 --> 00:23:05,923
that parts of the valley
have sunk 30 feet.

377
00:23:05,968 --> 00:23:08,755
The life of ranchers and farmers

378
00:23:08,804 --> 00:23:11,716
depend on water rights,
and who can take what water

379
00:23:11,765 --> 00:23:13,346
out of which river.

380
00:23:13,392 --> 00:23:16,805
Even cities like San Diego,
las Angeles, and Phoenix

381
00:23:16,854 --> 00:23:20,062
depend completely on
their access to water.

382
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,981
The Colorado river basin

383
00:23:23,027 --> 00:23:27,817
supplies water to 40 million
of us in seven states.

384
00:23:29,992 --> 00:23:32,449
The reservoirs that
make the system work

385
00:23:32,494 --> 00:23:35,281
are losing water
at alarming rates.

386
00:23:37,416 --> 00:23:41,705
They need huge amounts of
runoff from snow to feed them,

387
00:23:41,754 --> 00:23:44,541
and the runoff has
dwindled in recent years.

388
00:23:46,258 --> 00:23:49,876
California's reservoirs
could soon be dry.

389
00:23:59,521 --> 00:24:01,807
I had never seen
the himalayas at all,

390
00:24:01,857 --> 00:24:05,725
and the immense size was
just, it was mind boggling.

391
00:24:05,778 --> 00:24:08,690
They just went on for hundreds
and hundreds of miles.

392
00:24:13,869 --> 00:24:16,076
In the shadow of mount Everest,

393
00:24:16,121 --> 00:24:19,329
several of the earth's great
rivers begin their journey

394
00:24:19,375 --> 00:24:21,115
across the Indian subcontinent.

395
00:24:22,544 --> 00:24:26,753
They provide water to
drink, irrigation for crops,

396
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:28,505
a place for worship,

397
00:24:28,550 --> 00:24:31,462
but now the rising temperatures

398
00:24:31,512 --> 00:24:35,596
are causing glaciers and snow,
high on the plateau, to melt.

399
00:24:37,518 --> 00:24:41,727
The water supply of
over 500 million people

400
00:24:41,772 --> 00:24:42,852
is now threatened.

401
00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:49,560
By the time the river has
reached the Ganges delta,

402
00:24:49,613 --> 00:24:53,105
they've become pipelines
for all kinds of pollution,

403
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:01,780
But problems like
this can be solved,

404
00:25:01,834 --> 00:25:04,997
and when we work at it,
sometimes we succeed.

405
00:25:07,006 --> 00:25:08,667
When I was a kid in the 70s,

406
00:25:08,716 --> 00:25:11,378
the chesapeake bay was a mess,

407
00:25:11,427 --> 00:25:13,154
and the fish, and the
crabs were disappearing,

408
00:25:13,178 --> 00:25:14,543
and there was a big restriction.

409
00:25:14,596 --> 00:25:15,740
You couldn't fish for rock fish,

410
00:25:15,764 --> 00:25:17,129
and other types of fish.

411
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:18,638
It's been cleaned up,

412
00:25:18,684 --> 00:25:21,471
and in a few decades time,
it's a beautiful place now.

413
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,805
It's thriving.

414
00:25:22,855 --> 00:25:25,437
That's a great success
story of conservation.

415
00:25:32,614 --> 00:25:35,230
It's a giant universe out there,

416
00:25:35,284 --> 00:25:36,649
but there's nowhere like earth.

417
00:25:36,702 --> 00:25:38,818
It's a beautiful planet.

418
00:25:38,871 --> 00:25:40,611
We have air that we can breathe,

419
00:25:40,664 --> 00:25:42,325
we have water that we can drink.

420
00:25:42,374 --> 00:25:43,830
Food is there for us.

421
00:25:45,210 --> 00:25:47,496
We have this life support
system that's like,

422
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:50,037
perfectly designed to
support billions of humans

423
00:25:50,090 --> 00:25:52,126
and it's pretty amazing
to see how much effort

424
00:25:52,176 --> 00:25:55,213
we had to put into designing
and building the space station.

425
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:58,925
But what if our surface water

426
00:25:58,974 --> 00:26:00,384
disappeared all together?

427
00:26:05,856 --> 00:26:09,724
This actually happened on
our neighboring planet, Mars.

428
00:26:29,463 --> 00:26:32,876
Unlike earth, Mars doesn't
have a magnetic field.

429
00:26:34,051 --> 00:26:35,416
Without any protection,

430
00:26:35,469 --> 00:26:38,427
its atmosphere was ripped
away from the planet

431
00:26:38,472 --> 00:26:39,507
by the solar wind.

432
00:26:44,436 --> 00:26:46,973
If you could stand on Mars today

433
00:26:47,022 --> 00:26:50,560
you would find a landscape
of lifeless desolation.

434
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,810
Very cold and very dry.

435
00:27:00,786 --> 00:27:04,574
But on earth things are going
in a very different direction.

436
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:12,541
Ice and snow are melting at
rates we've never seen before.

437
00:27:12,589 --> 00:27:15,205
In Greenland, time-lapse cameras

438
00:27:15,259 --> 00:27:18,092
captured a 23 square mile chunk

439
00:27:18,137 --> 00:27:22,255
of the yakov slavin
glacier breaking off.

440
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,391
The Greenland ice
sheet is melting.

441
00:27:33,318 --> 00:27:36,025
If the whole ice
sheet were to melt

442
00:27:36,071 --> 00:27:38,813
sea levels could rise 20 feet.

443
00:27:41,410 --> 00:27:45,824
As the level rises, low lying
coastal areas will submerge.

444
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:50,707
The city of new
Orleans could be gone,

445
00:27:57,843 --> 00:28:00,550
But we could change
this if we step up

446
00:28:00,596 --> 00:28:02,882
to limit the greenhouse
gasses we're producing.

447
00:28:05,142 --> 00:28:07,679
As human beings
we heed to start to consider

448
00:28:07,728 --> 00:28:10,811
ourselves more and more as
crew members of this earth,

449
00:28:10,856 --> 00:28:12,221
not passenger, you know?

450
00:28:12,274 --> 00:28:13,559
Nobody gets a free ride.

451
00:28:15,110 --> 00:28:16,316
You have a responsibility

452
00:28:16,361 --> 00:28:17,897
to take care of your
fellow crew mates.

453
00:28:17,946 --> 00:28:19,652
Just like we do on
the space station.

454
00:28:19,698 --> 00:28:21,313
It's more difficult to do it

455
00:28:21,366 --> 00:28:22,886
when you're talking
about billions of people,

456
00:28:22,910 --> 00:28:26,368
but that's really the mindset
that we have to work towards.

457
00:28:35,714 --> 00:28:37,567
A new crew has
arrived at the stations.

458
00:28:37,591 --> 00:28:42,551
Two Russians, gennady padalka
and mikhail korniyenko,

459
00:28:43,472 --> 00:28:44,632
and an American, Scott Kelly.

460
00:28:45,849 --> 00:28:48,386
The mission for both
Scott and mikhail,

461
00:28:48,435 --> 00:28:50,346
is to spend a full year here

462
00:28:50,395 --> 00:28:52,932
so researchers can study
how they're affected

463
00:28:52,981 --> 00:28:54,562
by long-term space travel.

464
00:28:56,693 --> 00:28:59,230
Scott is soon providing
data for his study.

465
00:29:00,572 --> 00:29:02,688
One of the
more recent discoveries

466
00:29:02,741 --> 00:29:04,697
in terms of the effects
of weightlessness

467
00:29:04,743 --> 00:29:06,028
on human physiology

468
00:29:06,078 --> 00:29:09,036
is the effect that
it had on our eyes.

469
00:29:09,081 --> 00:29:12,369
Several long deration
crew members in the past

470
00:29:12,417 --> 00:29:16,376
have reported the worsening
of their eyesight,

471
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:17,752
while they were up in space.

472
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:20,755
= next one.

473
00:29:20,801 --> 00:29:21,756
That was what we needed Scott.

474
00:29:21,802 --> 00:29:24,088
Let's move on to the review.

475
00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:31,725
I have an Espresso, it's
a space Espresso machine,

476
00:29:32,604 --> 00:29:33,764
which was developed in Italy,

477
00:29:33,814 --> 00:29:35,083
and we actually,
for the first time,

478
00:29:35,107 --> 00:29:37,348
could enjoy a good
Espresso in space.

479
00:29:38,568 --> 00:29:39,728
It's a welcomed change.

480
00:29:39,778 --> 00:29:42,019
I'm actually gonna try
and drink it out of this

481
00:29:42,072 --> 00:29:43,152
zero g cup.

482
00:29:43,198 --> 00:29:44,904
Let's see what happens.

483
00:29:45,909 --> 00:29:47,240
Very much an experiment,

484
00:29:48,912 --> 00:29:52,154
but it will be a lot nicer
if I get to drink my Espresso

485
00:29:52,207 --> 00:29:54,414
from an actual cup,
instead of from a pouch.

486
00:29:55,502 --> 00:29:56,502
Let's see.

487
00:30:12,060 --> 00:30:13,220
Wow, that was good.

488
00:30:14,521 --> 00:30:15,521
That was real good.

489
00:30:17,899 --> 00:30:19,810
Six months have passed,

490
00:30:19,860 --> 00:30:22,943
and it's time for Terry,
Samantha, and Anton

491
00:30:22,988 --> 00:30:24,398
to say their goodbyes.

492
00:30:29,828 --> 00:30:31,238
It's a bittersweet departure.

493
00:30:33,582 --> 00:30:34,582
See you on earth.

494
00:30:51,558 --> 00:30:55,221
Three new
crew members have moved in.

495
00:30:55,270 --> 00:30:57,181
They've set about
a special project,

496
00:30:57,230 --> 00:30:59,186
which will be very important

497
00:30:59,232 --> 00:31:01,814
when people take longer
journeys to other planets.

498
00:31:03,195 --> 00:31:06,153
The best results are
produced in this pink light.

499
00:31:07,491 --> 00:31:09,607
Without soil, the
crew is attempting

500
00:31:09,659 --> 00:31:11,775
to grow their own crops.

501
00:31:13,372 --> 00:31:15,613
Kjell lindgren, an
American medical doctor,

502
00:31:15,665 --> 00:31:17,246
inspects the progress.

503
00:31:18,794 --> 00:31:20,409
Vege was an amazing experiment,

504
00:31:20,462 --> 00:31:24,205
to grow this plant in space

505
00:31:24,257 --> 00:31:26,248
but we also got to eat it.

506
00:31:27,719 --> 00:31:31,211
Kjell"s crewmate,
kimiya yui, is from Japan.

507
00:31:32,682 --> 00:31:34,602
Well I know that
I enjoyed the lettuce.

508
00:31:34,643 --> 00:31:37,760
I think kimiya is not a
big fan of vegetables.

509
00:31:39,022 --> 00:31:41,729
His father is actually
a lettuce farmer.

510
00:31:41,775 --> 00:31:44,642
So I think he's had
a lot of lettuce.

511
00:31:44,694 --> 00:31:48,186
Happily, fresh
food is about to arrive,

512
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,404
this time on the Japanese
htv resupply ship.

513
00:31:52,452 --> 00:31:56,411
The htv maneuver is complete.

514
00:31:56,456 --> 00:31:59,573
It's like a golden treasure box.

515
00:31:59,626 --> 00:32:00,957
A golden treasure box?

516
00:32:03,255 --> 00:32:06,463
You'll have to share your
beef teriyaki bowl with me.

517
00:32:08,009 --> 00:32:10,967
J brother bought a coconut,
he bought it for a dime j

518
00:32:11,012 --> 00:32:13,970
j his sister had another one
she paid it for the lime j

519
00:32:14,015 --> 00:32:17,724
j she put the lime in the
coconut, she drank 'em bot' up j

520
00:32:17,769 --> 00:32:21,557
j she put the lime in the
coconut, she drank 'em bot' up j

521
00:32:21,606 --> 00:32:25,064
j she put the lime in the
coconut, she drank 'em bot' up j

522
00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:27,146
j she put the lime
in the coconut

523
00:32:27,195 --> 00:32:29,026
j she call the
doctor, woke 'I'm up j

524
00:32:29,072 --> 00:32:32,189
j and said doctor, ain't
there nothin' I can take j

525
00:32:32,242 --> 00:32:35,860
j I said doctor, to
relieve this belly ache j

526
00:32:35,912 --> 00:32:39,621
j I said doctor, ain't
there nothin' I can take j

527
00:32:39,666 --> 00:32:42,999
j I said doctor, to
relieve this belly ache j

528
00:32:43,044 --> 00:32:44,705
we are approaching england,

529
00:32:44,754 --> 00:32:46,665
and its great capital, London.

530
00:32:48,091 --> 00:32:51,299
Across the english channel
to right is France,

531
00:32:51,344 --> 00:32:53,585
and the glorious city of Paris.

532
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:56,467
Europe lies beyond.

533
00:32:57,809 --> 00:32:59,299
During the daytime,

534
00:32:59,352 --> 00:33:01,684
it's kind of hard to tell
that people are on earth.

535
00:33:01,730 --> 00:33:04,563
You don't see that much
evidence of humanity.

536
00:33:10,489 --> 00:33:11,695
But at night,

537
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:13,947
the same view tells
a different story.

538
00:33:15,577 --> 00:33:18,944
It's easy to see how populated
our planet really is,

539
00:33:20,332 --> 00:33:23,449
and how many of us have
gathered in towns and cities.

540
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,755
Now you can spot famous cities
like Amsterdam, Brussels,

541
00:33:34,054 --> 00:33:36,761
the capital of Russia, Moscow,

542
00:33:41,019 --> 00:33:45,979
the vibrant cities of Japan,
Osaka, nagoya, and Tokyo,

543
00:33:49,611 --> 00:33:52,148
beloved Rome, and Naples.

544
00:33:54,324 --> 00:33:56,531
Italy at night is very modern

545
00:33:56,576 --> 00:33:58,407
because it's incredibly bright.

546
00:33:58,453 --> 00:34:00,097
It's a densely populated
country of course,

547
00:34:00,121 --> 00:34:02,237
so you really see
all the cities,

548
00:34:02,290 --> 00:34:04,497
and you have this
very distinct shape

549
00:34:04,543 --> 00:34:07,455
that you can very definitely
see at night as well,

550
00:34:07,504 --> 00:34:08,914
of this boot,

551
00:34:08,964 --> 00:34:12,707
reaching into the darkness
of the mediterranean.

552
00:34:17,597 --> 00:34:20,384
It is just
overwhelmingly beautiful.

553
00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:25,135
The undulating
ribbon of light is nile river,

554
00:34:25,188 --> 00:34:28,521
illuminated by people drawn
from the desert to its water.

555
00:34:29,943 --> 00:34:32,480
Cairo gleams like a Jewel
in the delta's crown.

556
00:34:33,530 --> 00:34:35,646
To the left, Israel,

557
00:34:35,699 --> 00:34:37,690
and the cities of tel
aviv and Jerusalem.

558
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:42,160
= I think one of
the most amazing sights

559
00:34:42,205 --> 00:34:43,570
I saw with my eye

560
00:34:43,623 --> 00:34:46,990
was coming across the Southern
United States, Florida,

561
00:34:47,043 --> 00:34:51,662
into the Caribbean sea,
through the Bahamas at night,

562
00:34:51,715 --> 00:34:53,205
with a full moon,

563
00:34:53,258 --> 00:34:57,092
and you could see the aqua
colors in the bahama area,

564
00:34:57,137 --> 00:34:59,549
all the way down through Cuba,

565
00:34:59,598 --> 00:35:01,930
and then the Dominican
Republic, Haiti,

566
00:35:01,975 --> 00:35:03,215
on into Puerto Rico,

567
00:35:03,268 --> 00:35:05,133
and then the virgin
islands beyond that.

568
00:35:05,186 --> 00:35:06,596
Oh my goodness.

569
00:35:10,609 --> 00:35:12,044
Fishing boats
really stand out at night,

570
00:35:12,068 --> 00:35:14,400
especially in Asia,
and the animen sea,

571
00:35:14,446 --> 00:35:17,313
and near Thailand, there's a
bunch of green fishing boats.

572
00:35:17,365 --> 00:35:19,947
During the day you can't tell
there's people in the ocean

573
00:35:19,993 --> 00:35:21,403
down there, but at night time,

574
00:35:21,453 --> 00:35:22,597
there's lots of folks fishing.

575
00:35:22,621 --> 00:35:23,781
You can see that.

576
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:27,284
I can see where I was born,

577
00:35:27,334 --> 00:35:29,791
Murphy's burrow looks like a
little diamond below Nashville.

578
00:35:29,836 --> 00:35:33,328
North of that, louisville,
of course Indianapolis

579
00:35:33,381 --> 00:35:34,621
just beyond there.

580
00:35:34,674 --> 00:35:37,711
Pittsburgh, and then
looking to the left

581
00:35:37,761 --> 00:35:38,921
you can see the Great Lakes,

582
00:35:38,970 --> 00:35:41,757
and of course the cities
of green bay, Chicago,

583
00:35:41,806 --> 00:35:45,139
you can see Cleveland
evident, buffalo,

584
00:35:45,185 --> 00:35:47,050
and then further
up the east coast,

585
00:35:47,103 --> 00:35:52,063
coming to Richmond, Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia,

586
00:35:53,234 --> 00:35:55,270
New York, long
island sticks out,

587
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,606
just absolutely gorgeous.

588
00:35:57,656 --> 00:36:00,443
Boston, Cape Cod, very visible,

589
00:36:00,492 --> 00:36:01,902
just absolutely beautiful,

590
00:36:01,951 --> 00:36:03,554
and then of course the
cities across the border,

591
00:36:03,578 --> 00:36:07,742
Toronto, Ottawa,
Montreal, Quebec city.

592
00:36:09,709 --> 00:36:11,620
Astronauts often remark that

593
00:36:11,670 --> 00:36:14,707
you don't see any national
borders from space,

594
00:36:14,756 --> 00:36:17,122
but there are exceptions.

595
00:36:17,175 --> 00:36:20,167
The strand of orange
light dividing the view

596
00:36:20,220 --> 00:36:23,053
is the border separating
Pakistan from India.

597
00:36:24,516 --> 00:36:26,160
I wish that there
weren't issues, but there are.

598
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:28,766
We have different ideals,
and different mindsets,

599
00:36:28,812 --> 00:36:32,270
and it causes us
to have the border.

600
00:36:32,315 --> 00:36:33,315
That is sad.

601
00:36:36,319 --> 00:36:38,935
The most
noticeable border at night

602
00:36:38,988 --> 00:36:40,649
is between north
and South Korea.

603
00:36:42,158 --> 00:36:44,194
Seoul, South Korea
is one of the brightest,

604
00:36:44,244 --> 00:36:46,326
most vibrant cities
on the planet.

605
00:36:46,371 --> 00:36:49,329
The whole south Korean
country is lit up,

606
00:36:49,374 --> 00:36:51,831
and then there's this
line in the border,

607
00:36:51,876 --> 00:36:53,992
and this complete
darkness of North Korea,

608
00:36:54,045 --> 00:36:56,832
with a few little white
lights where Pyongyang is,

609
00:36:56,881 --> 00:36:58,192
but there's a similar
number of people

610
00:36:58,216 --> 00:36:59,672
on both sides of the border,

611
00:36:59,718 --> 00:37:01,674
and you can really
see the difference

612
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:04,211
between how people live.

613
00:37:10,270 --> 00:37:12,602
By moonlight, the Gulf of Mexico

614
00:37:12,647 --> 00:37:16,686
and the great cities of Dallas,
Houston, and San Antonio.

615
00:37:17,861 --> 00:37:20,477
The landscape around
them is ablaze

616
00:37:20,530 --> 00:37:24,114
with thousands of
oil and gas flares.

617
00:37:24,159 --> 00:37:27,492
To meet our ever-increasing
energy needs for the future,

618
00:37:27,537 --> 00:37:30,370
we'll have to develop
new energy sources

619
00:37:30,415 --> 00:37:32,121
on a far larger scale,

620
00:37:33,084 --> 00:37:35,700
and one of them is our own sun.

621
00:37:39,591 --> 00:37:42,628
As the space station
crosses its face,

622
00:37:42,677 --> 00:37:45,760
from 250 miles below,

623
00:37:45,805 --> 00:37:48,717
you can see the solar panels
that provide its power.

624
00:37:50,101 --> 00:37:53,264
Here on earth, we must go
beyond capturing the sun's rays

625
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:57,556
and learn how to create
energy the way the sun does,

626
00:37:57,609 --> 00:37:59,224
by nuclear fusion.

627
00:38:01,154 --> 00:38:03,941
The challenge is to
build a fusion reactor

628
00:38:03,990 --> 00:38:07,153
that will provide enough
power for all our needs.

629
00:38:10,997 --> 00:38:14,239
If you can figure out
how to reproduce this

630
00:38:14,292 --> 00:38:17,284
you can create immense
amounts of power

631
00:38:17,337 --> 00:38:18,793
and leave no pollution.

632
00:38:26,971 --> 00:38:31,260
Our sun also bombards us
with lethal radiation.

633
00:38:35,188 --> 00:38:39,431
Without protection, most living
creatures cannot survive it,

634
00:38:41,152 --> 00:38:43,643
but our earth has
a magnetic field

635
00:38:43,696 --> 00:38:46,608
which deflects the harmful
particles away from us.

636
00:38:49,619 --> 00:38:52,486
The Aurora shows that
shield in action.

637
00:39:20,608 --> 00:39:25,068
Because we have this magical
magnetic field protecting us,

638
00:39:25,113 --> 00:39:30,028
we have our forests,
oceans, animals, and people.

639
00:39:31,536 --> 00:39:34,118
It's why ours is
a planet of life.

640
00:40:32,889 --> 00:40:34,909
What struck me
looking at earth from space

641
00:40:34,933 --> 00:40:39,893
is the fact that you can
really perceive it visually

642
00:40:40,605 --> 00:40:42,721
as a spacecraft.

643
00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:46,391
I've heard before about
you know, spaceship earth,

644
00:40:46,444 --> 00:40:48,150
but when you are up there,

645
00:40:48,196 --> 00:40:50,403
you really cannot
escape that notion.

646
00:40:50,448 --> 00:40:54,612
It's totally obvious that
it is a celestial body

647
00:40:54,661 --> 00:40:56,401
that is carrying all of us,

648
00:40:56,454 --> 00:40:57,910
all of humanity,

649
00:40:57,956 --> 00:41:01,244
all of life on earth on
this journey through space,

650
00:41:01,292 --> 00:41:03,078
and just like the space
station is, you know,

651
00:41:03,127 --> 00:41:07,086
a human made outpost there
that allows us to survive

652
00:41:07,131 --> 00:41:09,372
in this hostile
environment of space,

653
00:41:09,425 --> 00:41:13,293
well, you know, our earth
does the same for all of us.

654
00:41:25,650 --> 00:41:27,481
I can imagine of course
a future in which

655
00:41:27,527 --> 00:41:31,520
human beings are able to
travel to other star systems.

656
00:41:31,572 --> 00:41:34,439
So I really hope
that at some point

657
00:41:34,492 --> 00:41:38,485
there will be a breakthrough
in science and technology

658
00:41:38,538 --> 00:41:41,621
that will allow us to
travel faster than light

659
00:41:41,666 --> 00:41:44,328
and actually explore
different star systems.

660
00:41:48,506 --> 00:41:51,043
Don't you wonder sometimes?

661
00:41:51,092 --> 00:41:53,333
Are there planets
around other stars?

662
00:41:55,763 --> 00:41:56,763
Could they have life?

663
00:41:59,642 --> 00:42:03,180
Though, we can't yet travel
to the stars ourselves,

664
00:42:03,229 --> 00:42:04,344
our telescopes can.

665
00:42:05,815 --> 00:42:07,806
Astronomers have
already discovered

666
00:42:07,859 --> 00:42:09,770
several thousand planets.

667
00:42:11,696 --> 00:42:15,905
We're searching around stars
for the perfect conditions,

668
00:42:15,950 --> 00:42:18,566
not too hot, not too cold,

669
00:42:19,495 --> 00:42:21,702
for liquid water to exist.

670
00:42:23,750 --> 00:42:25,741
We call this the
goldilocks zone.

671
00:42:32,050 --> 00:42:36,464
We can detect a planet as it
crosses in front of a star,

672
00:42:36,512 --> 00:42:37,512
blocking its light.

673
00:42:39,140 --> 00:42:44,100
This is one system
we found, kepler 186.

674
00:42:45,021 --> 00:42:46,511
It's 500 light years from earth,

675
00:42:47,982 --> 00:42:50,724
and it contains a remarkable
five earth sized planets.

676
00:42:52,653 --> 00:42:57,568
Most important of all, the
outermost planet, kepler 186f

677
00:42:59,285 --> 00:43:02,118
is just the right distance
from its star for water,

678
00:43:03,664 --> 00:43:06,030
and life to exist.

679
00:43:18,262 --> 00:43:20,253
Could this be another earth?

680
00:43:40,868 --> 00:43:43,029
In the end,
it's about two things.

681
00:43:46,290 --> 00:43:49,407
It's about this great
adventure of exploring,

682
00:43:50,670 --> 00:43:53,628
and then it's about
how our world works,

683
00:43:54,924 --> 00:43:57,381
and expanding the possibilities

684
00:43:57,426 --> 00:43:59,462
of what we human beings can do.

685
00:44:02,306 --> 00:44:04,718
And we can
do great things together.

686
00:44:05,977 --> 00:44:08,593
If we all do our part,
for our children,

687
00:44:08,646 --> 00:44:13,390
and great grandchildren,
our earth will always be

688
00:44:13,442 --> 00:44:15,558
a beautiful planet.

689
00:44:27,999 --> 00:44:31,241
J hello world

00:44:31,294 --> 00:44:34,957
