00:01I come alive when I'm in orbit. It's like my being should be in space.
00:09Some people are born to be cowboys and ride a horse. I'm born to ride a rocket and be in
00:17space.
00:17And there is NASA astronaut Don Pettit flying in to the International Space Station.
00:26Science of Opportunity happens on Earth. It happens anywhere.
00:30There are scientists, engineers, uber geeks that are tasked with doing some programmatic work in a laboratory.
00:39And because you are there and you can, you get an idea.
00:44It's not on the script. It's not part of the program, but you get an idea.
00:48So the science of opportunity happens anywhere there are people thinking about advancing our knowledge.
00:56And the same thing happens on space station.
01:01Wow.
01:02That's good.
01:04And then that rogue drop just came in from someplace and then it went someplace.
01:10Whoa. Look at that.
01:14I have been working with ice.
01:18I'm freezing and thawing these crystals and looking at the front between the different crystals.
01:26The kind of research we do on space station is research where gravity has a major factor in the equation.
01:41Looking at Earth's horizon and our atmosphere on edge is truly a unique sight.
01:48You can also point your camera more zenith and you could look at Milky Way structures.
01:58Images from space help tell the story to people on Earth that don't have the opportunity to go into space.
02:07So the photographs help complete the story of what it means for human beings to expand into space and expand
02:18into this frontier.
02:19Take care.
02:20Wow.
02:32Okay though I'm in the next hour, a year again.
02:33All right.
