00:01Say it again.
00:03We have you loud and clear, CSA.
00:19Thank you, Jeremy.
00:21We have many Canadians who are eager to ask you some questions.
00:24We're going to start right ahead with those.
00:26The first question is from Dia in Mississauga, Ontario.
00:32Do astronauts get special training to do CPR in space?
00:38How do you actually do that when there's low gravity?
00:53You just have to help me out with that question.
00:55Was that about CPR training? Is that what I caught?
00:58Go ahead.
00:59That's right, Jeremy.
01:00You're asked, do you have special training to do CPR in space?
01:04And how do you actually do that in zero gravity?
01:14Yeah, it's a great question because we're all alone up here, just the four of us.
01:18And if we ever had to do it, we definitely want to plan.
01:21And so we talked about it on Earth before we came here.
01:24And one of our tests this week was actually to try those techniques out.
01:30And we have about three different spots in the capsule where we can do it.
01:33There's probably one that I can show you in the camera view if I just slide Reid over here.
01:43And so what I need to do is support myself and have him against something.
01:49So if I put my back here and Reid here, I can push on him.
02:02So this is one of our CPR objectives in space.
02:06This is actually not the best one, but it's the only one you can see in camera.
02:14Thanks, Jeremy.
02:15The next question is from Liam in Elsabook, New Brunswick.
02:19And I wonder, do you still see stars in outer space?
02:30Yeah, I was actually just talking to my crewmates about that today.
02:34I've definitely seen stars in outer space.
02:36And I was saying I haven't seen as many as I thought I would.
02:39So Reid?
02:42We have so much illumination from the sun on the moon and the Earth right now,
02:46it is hard at times to see stars.
02:48Just like when you walk out in the daytime, you see a blue sky but no stars.
02:52We look outside and we see the black space and no stars.
02:55But tonight we're going to be pointed into deep space
02:58and we're going to turn out all the lights in the spacecraft for the first time on the mission.
03:01And if you give yourself about 20 or 30 minutes, we do this all the time on the International Space
03:05Station.
03:06Christina and I just have great fond memories of this.
03:08You'll start to see the stars.
03:10And if you give it enough time, you will see so many stars.
03:12It's hard to see the constellations because there are so many stars out there.
03:17And the coolest part of those stars is they do not twinkle at all.
03:21They are just perfect.
03:22They almost look just perfect pinpricks of light.
03:25So that is our homework for tonight, Jeremy.
03:26We are doing that.
03:27We'll take a picture.
03:31Great.
03:31We now have a question from students in Sanikiluak, Nunavut.
03:36What types of food do you eat in space and how do you cook it?
03:48Yeah, so I've only been eating space food for a couple of days here.
03:52But Christina, she lived in space for pretty close to a year.
03:57She's eaten a lot of space food.
03:58And so we have a few items here to show you.
04:00Christina, you want to help me out?
04:01Sure.
04:03Let's see what we're going to pull out.
04:05My dinner.
04:06This is Jeremy's dinner.
04:08And in space, you really just eat all of your food out of bags of some kind,
04:13plastic bags or little metallic bags, because we have to rehydrate a lot of our food.
04:21This is actually shrimp cocktail.
04:25And this has been rehydrated already.
04:27So we added water to it.
04:29And the shrimp soaked back up the water.
04:32And it's actually pretty tasty.
04:34This is an example of a food that has not been rehydrated yet.
04:39It got all dried out for flying up here in space.
04:42And those are green beans.
04:43So we do have to eat our vegetables even in space.
04:46But don't worry.
04:47They do give us mac and cheese.
04:53Now we have a question in the room.
04:55Emily.
04:57Hello, Jeremy.
04:58I'm Emily and I come from St. Bruno, Quebec.
05:01On Earth, we sometimes see a moon growth.
05:05When we're around the moon, we see a moon growth.
05:17And before I answer that question, I've got to go back one.
05:20Here's the maple syrup that we opened up and had at lunchtime today.
05:24So we had a little bit of Canada on board today.
05:28And I shared it with my crewmates.
05:31And I think they enjoyed that.
05:32So it was great.
05:34And for the question, yes, we can see the Earth's body.
05:40And it's something incredible to me.
05:43For example, on the day before the TRI, the Translunar Injection, when we were
05:52on a vu un demi-terre et ça, c'était la première fois que j'ai vu quelque chose de
05:58magnifique comme ça.
05:59Et pendant cette journée-là , on a vu la terre au complet et on a vu la terre noire.
06:08Alors ça, c'était une perspective vraiment unique.
06:11And the question was, do we see a crescent Earth just like we see a crescent moon when we're in
06:18space?
06:18And the reality is we do and we have seen, we've seen it all.
06:22We've seen a half Earth, partial crescent Earth.
06:25We've seen a dark Earth.
06:28And when we woke up for TLI, we saw just like it looked like a bowl of Earth just sitting
06:33there for breakfast in the sky.
06:35It was really, really unique.
06:38Thank you, Jeremy.
06:40The next question is from Joel in Edmonton, Alberta.
06:42No, you undertook lunar geology training in Canada, Iceland, and at the Lunar Sample Laboratory Facility.
06:49Are there any lunar landforms that you're particularly excited to see up close?
07:06Absolutely.
07:07We have done some incredible geology training on Earth.
07:10And one of them, as you mentioned, was in Canada.
07:13It came as Staston Crater.
07:14And I got the honor of training there with Jeremy and Jenny Gibbons and a great team of geologists and
07:21scientists from NASA and many institutions.
07:23We did learn a lot about how, you know, craters form and a lot about the mineral that makes up
07:29the moon.
07:30What we are probably most excited as a crew about seeing on the moon would be an amazing feature called
07:36Oriental.
07:37And it is sometimes known as the Grand Canyon of the Moon because it has all kinds of multi-layered
07:44crater rims and a lot of different land formations.
07:50And it has mare, like kind of lava fields, all throughout it in different shapes.
07:56And it's very distinctive.
07:57And no human eyes previously had seen this crater until today, really, when we were privileged enough to see it.
08:06So we can't wait to share more when we get closer to the moon.
08:12Thanks so much.
08:13Ms. Saab in Vancouver, BC, has a question for you as well.
08:17Which movie do you believe is the most accurate representation of space?
08:31Well, there are many great space movies.
08:34For our specific example here, one that really captures it, I think, is Apollo 13.
08:40Now, we haven't had any major malfunctions like Apollo 13 did.
08:43But they ended up on a very similar trajectory to us.
08:47And that movie really shows you a lot what it's like with just three humans, you know, trapped in a
08:52tiny capsule and surviving in space together.
08:56So that's just one of many.
08:58But it's one of my favorite space movies.
09:00You have a space movie?
09:01That's one of my favorites.
09:02Yeah.
09:05All right.
09:06We have another question, Jeremy, from here in the room.
09:10I'm Adelaide from Ottawa, Ontario.
09:13How has your family helped you prepare to go to space?
09:17And do your kids get time off school?
09:31Yeah, of course, you know, in life you do things as a team.
09:35And, you know, my primary team is my wife and my three kids.
09:39And they have been extraordinary in supporting me through this endeavor.
09:45Some of the ways that they've helped me is just by giving me grace.
09:49Sometimes with this job, I can't be there for them when they would like me to be there.
09:53There's a lot of sacrifice from the family.
09:55And so they've definitely done that for me.
09:58And they've been my greatest cheerleaders along the way.
10:00So super grateful for Catherine, Devon, Ashley and Caitlin.
10:05And did they get time off school?
10:08Well, yes and no.
10:09So they had time to come to quarantine and be with me to support me in the launch.
10:14But what it meant was they were doing a lot of homework, doing a lot of self-study.
10:19And they were still getting it done.
10:20They were just getting it done from quarantine.
10:25Thanks.
10:27Parker from Apsley, Ontario, has a question.
10:30Why does water become spherical in space?
10:41Well, my crewmates lived on board the International Space Station for a significant amount of time.
10:47And so they've done a lot of playing with water.
10:49And so they were giving me a tutorial today at lunch.
10:53So maybe I'll just get Reid to give you the tutorial that he gave me right now.
11:02Well, here you can see the spherical balls that I just let loose in the cabin.
11:11All right, Reid.
11:13There's another one going over there.
11:15But it's really the surface tension.
11:18If you ever just see a little drop of water on your finger, even though it looks like a convex
11:25little drop on your finger in space, that surface tension is all around.
11:30So it just creates a perfect bubble because there's no gravity to act on it.
11:34And so it just stays in this perfect sphere.
11:36And it actually becomes a lens.
11:37And earlier today, we were laughing because we could make Jeremy's face go upside down or right side up.
11:42And it's pretty amazing.
11:44It's fun to play with water and space.
11:48Victor's sending us a towel to clean up the mess.
11:54Thanks for that demonstration.
11:55We now turn to Jackson from Calgary, Alberta.
12:00How did you get to be on the Artemis II mission?
12:10I'll answer while Jeremy's making a nice water bubble for you.
12:14How did Jeremy get to be on the Artemis II mission?
12:16Jeremy and I were selected as astronauts together back in 2009.
12:20And he was a member, obviously, of the Canadian Space Agency, and I was a member of NASA.
12:25And when Jeremy interviewed to be an astronaut, our chief astronaut, Peggy Whitson, was on their board.
12:31And Peggy came back from that interview and said, if Canada doesn't hire Jeremy, NASA will hire Jeremy.
12:36He did that well.
12:38So I think if you go through Jeremy's life, he grew up just a very inquisitive kid.
12:43He had huge dreams.
12:44He saw a picture of Neil Armstrong in an encyclopedia a long time ago walking on the moon,
12:50and it just sparked his curiosity and his imagination.
12:53And he always tells people that the most important thing when you have a dream and an aspiration is that
12:58you tell people, you talk about that.
13:00Some people may not believe you can do it, but you know you can do it.
13:03And the more you talk about it, the more people will begin to believe that you can make your dreams
13:06come true.
13:07And that is exactly what Jeremy did.
13:08So he turned his tree forward into a spaceship, and he became a fighter pilot in the Royal Canadian Air
13:14Force.
13:15And then he got to the Canadian Space Agency in 2009, and the rest is history.
13:21And I'm still not that good at water and space yet.
13:24I'm still learning.
13:25But you know along with the people who have always been distracted fielding him.
13:25We've seen them.
