00:00The International Space Station isn't just a symbol, it's a powerhouse of cutting-edge
00:07science constantly revealing secrets that defy Earth's limitations and drive us farther
00:13into the cosmos.
00:15Our mission is research and science.
00:18We have experiments mounted on the outside of the station that are looking at Earth.
00:22We study our own bodies and how they react to space, to weightlessness, to radiation,
00:27and that helps not only us go on further in future missions, but also helps for medical
00:32research back home.
00:33And then we study lots of different things as well, like materials, combustion, all sorts
00:38of things that help us understand life back on Earth.
00:42Yeah!
00:43Microgravity doesn't play by the rules.
00:47It flips them upside down, transforming how liquids flow, how flames burn, and unraveling
00:52biological mysteries before our eyes.
00:55I saw some heart tissues beating in space, and it was incredible.
00:58So Tom, I see that top one beating, looks like happy heart cells.
01:05But we're not just along for the ride, we're explorers, diving headfirst into the challenge
01:10and harnessing the power of this unparalleled platform, just as we have been for decades.
01:17We're on a relentless quest for answers, seeking to understand the intricate workings of the
01:23human body in space, and ensuring future crews stay safe on their daring journeys beyond
01:29Earth's orbit.
01:30The human aspect of human space exploration is always going to be very important for decades
01:35to come.
01:36And when it comes to technology, we're not waiting around.
01:39We're discovering new ways to grow crops in harsh environments, and engineering innovations
01:44to tackle Earth's greatest challenges.
01:47We have amazing technology that allows us to recycle water and create water for us to
01:53drink.
01:54It's delicious.
01:56Microgravity isn't just a curiosity, it's a game-changer in the fight against diseases
02:01back on Earth, paving the way for breakthroughs that benefit us all, and enabling new economic
02:07opportunities in space.
02:09Welcome Axiom 3 on board the International Space Station.
02:13From our vantage point more than 200 miles above Earth, we are not just spectators.
02:19We're gaining unprecedented insights into the world we call home, and we're sharing
02:24our findings openly.
02:26We're not just achieving results today, we're sparking inspiration in future generations
02:31of explorers and embracing the power of global collaboration as we reach for the stars.
02:37What was your favorite experiment on the International Space Station?
02:41Toby, great question.
02:43My favorite experiment was the one that I got to eat.
02:46It was us growing hatched chili peppers in our plant habitat.
02:49Station Hunt, on 2, we have video in node 1, look for those chili peppers.
02:55And as we soar through space at 17,500 miles per hour, each moment is a step closer to
03:03unlocking the mysteries of our Earth, our universe, and propelling our pioneering spirit
03:10even farther into space.
03:12So come along for the ride aboard the International Space Station.
