After becoming an astronaut, do you view the world from a different angle?

So was it my dream to become an astronaut first and foremost?

No. You know, when I was growing up,

I'm so happy we didn't say what year I was born in my introduction,

but when I was growing up I remember actually seeing the first men walk on the moon.

And I thought to myself,

now that would be cool,

that's what I want to do.

And it didn't become a reality to become an astronaut,

like I mentioned earlier, earlier till later when I was a test pilot

and part of that reality came true because one of the gentlemen

that was talking his name was John Young

and he had actually been to the moon twice once landed on it a second time flew around it

but he mentioned about practicing in some type of vertical landing

craft to be able to learn how to land on the moon

and I said oh my gosh I'm a helicopter pilot I already have those skills

so this is really the first time it dawned on me that I could potentially do this same type of thing.

And I tell you that because I didn't think about it for a long time until later in life,

and so I just trekked through my life trying to find the things that I like to do.

I mentioned that earlier, and I would reemphasize that again.

If you're interested in being an astronaut,

we need astronauts from all different fields because there's so much we do up there.

We're the plumbers, the electricians, the IT guys.

We're the maintainers, we're the toilet fixers,

we're the space walkers, we're the scientists.

And so we need people who have all of those skills to do that.

So if you're thinking about that,

you're on the right track.

And of course, yes, I absolutely view life on this earth.

I view being able to do whatever you want a lot differently.

I was not straight-A student in college.

I had a couple ups and downs in college.

I had a couple failures as well as a lot of successes.

And failure is good.

But what being an astronaut has reminded me is

that you can do anything you want to do

if you put your mind to it and have determination and find a path.

So yes, for sure, I have a different perspective about a lot of things.

What was your motivation as a child or a student

that inspired you to move on a path not often undertaken by women?

I think first of all I didn't think about it that way.

I just thought of it as something fun to do.

And my path was not always as straight as it may seem.

My biography maybe makes things look a little bit like they were straight from one thing to the next,

but there were a lot of questions along the way.

So you guys are getting ready to think about what you're going to do in the future, huh?

I feel locked into something is my one piece of advice.

I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was growing up.

I thought for sure I was going to be a veterinarian.

My father is a doctor.

Biology is a little bit in our family,

but I also liked math and physics quite a bit.

I didn't know what I wanted to do really.

I just love animals, so I wanted to be a veterinarian.

I didn't get into my first choices of college,

so I had to make a second choice about what I wanted to do.

And the Naval Academy was recommended because my family was pretty athletic and we like camping is what my brother told me.

I think you like this school because you like camping.

I said, okay, sure.

And so that was not my first choice.

When I was at the Naval Academy,

I thought I wanted to be a diver because I was a swimmer.

That seemed very comfortable.

I didn't get that first choice either.

So I ended up going to be a pilot.

When I was a pilot,

I wanted to fly jets because Top Gun just came out.

So I thought that was cool.

And I became a helicopter pilot.

So the path was not quite straight and it wasn't even until later

when I was in my mid-20s and I had gone to test pilot school,

first time I had met an astronaut and knew what astronauts did that I thought,

wow, you know, I have some of the same things,

same qualifications that these people have,

so maybe this is a path that I can take.

So my point in all of that was my path was not predetermined,

was not straight, but that's okay.

I think that's normal for everybody.

and one of the things that I would leave you with is find something that you like.

It might take one or two or three tries to figure out what you like,

but if you find something that you like,

you'll do it well, and that's most important.

And I think all of the people who are astronauts,

not all of them are test pilots.

We have doctors.

We actually have a veterinarian.

We have engineers.

We have scientists.

But they're all pretty good at what their fields are because they really enjoy them,

and then they apply to be astronauts.

So I would say I never thought about having a career

that was maybe male dominated and that was maybe even more

so in the military because they were my teammates

and we worked together and I think that's more important than singling out somebody for one thing or another.

So thank you for your question.

Ma'am, what are the major problems that you face

when you come back to Earth and how long does it take to regain all your physical abilities?

We have some, what do you want to say,

mitigating methods up in space to make sure that people are coming back to Earth as normal as possible.

100

There are some things that we can't really totally protect from.

101

One of those things is some radiation.

102

You know, we are above the atmosphere,

103

so we are getting an amount of radiation,

104

which is a little bit more than folks get here on Earth.

105

We have protective covering on the spacecraft,

106

so we do as much as we can while we're out there.

107

We have protective covering on our spacesuits.

108

So again, we do as much as we can,

109

but you do get some radiation and you never can change that.

110

But the things that do change is your physiology changes

111

which is it's sort of fun actually to watch your body

112

change you know things happen like the calluses on your feet start to go away

113

because you don't walk you know

114

while you're up there my fingernails seem to grow a lot my hair grew a lot

115

while I was up there so it's sort of fun to watch all

116

that happening no gravity is not taking a toll on you

117

I think some of the little wrinkles in your face go away for a couple reasons.

118

One, because there's a fluid shift,

119

so the fluid comes up to your head.

120

But that's just sort of temporary.

121

Your spine also expands because of the vertebrae,

122

the cartilage between the vertebrae is not having any pressure on it.

123

So it makes you a little bit taller while you're up in space.

124

But some of those things change when you come back home.

125

As soon as you get, you can't escape gravity.

126

Once you're here, you're here.

127

So you shrink a little bit,

128

your back hurts a little bit because you're shrunk back.

129

Unfortunately, some of the wrinkles come back, but that's okay.

130

That's just life.

131

But some of the things that we have to really worry about are bone density and muscle mass, right?

132

Because when you're up in space,

133

your bones start to leach away right away.

134

You don't need, you have this skeletal structure that we have.

135

And so essentially, it's advanced osteoporosis.

136

It starts to kick in right away for everybody.

137

And so to mitigate that,

138

We run on the treadmill,

139

which you've seen probably pictures of with the harness which holds you down.

140

We also do weightlifting, which really helps particularly in the hip area

141

and the feet area because we do squat type of exercises with the bar on our back as well as deadlifts.

142

And that all helps to regenerate the bone density.

143

And then also the cardiovascular with the running on the treadmill and the muscle mass and with the bicycle.

144

So all of those things help when we get back.

145

So the long answer to your short question is,

146

all of

147

that new technology with all of those machines allowed most all of us now to come back in pretty good shape.

148

So it takes the fluid shift maybe 24 hours or 48 hours

149

or so to get back to normal so

150

that your blood volume is back to normal so you can actually do more physical fitness, physical exercises.

151

but my bone density muscle mass were essentially the same

152

and we were able to test that about a week after getting home

153

and you could sort of you can see people are the same as

154

when they left because we work out so rigorously

155

while we're up in space there's also new diets that we're trying

156

while we're up there because there's definitely some things

157

that are in the diet that will cause bone density issues

158

so we we test ourselves right away the first moment we get back about 10 days after we get back,

159

two weeks after we get back,

160

a month, and then I'm going to have another test at about six months,

161

but should be pretty much back to normal within two weeks or so,

162

generally back to normal the astronauts lose consciousness during takeoff since it's against gravity

163

and high speed makes you feel dizzy did you feel someone

164

has taken you by your shoulders lift up is a little

165

bit in a spacecraft the way they have us seated

166

and the way that the the the gravity force the g kicks in is what we we call a G factor, right?

167

How much G, like right now we have one G of gravity pushing on us.

168

It's a little bit different than in an airplane that people think about loss of consciousness in an airplane with somebody,

169

what they call pulls too many Gs.

170

Sometimes you have loss of consciousness.

171

And the reason for that is the blood is draining from your head and that will make you lose consciousness.

172

In a spacecraft, the way we are seated and the way that the G kicks in is,

173

like I mentioned, it pushes down here on your chest.

174

So it makes it a little bit harder to breathe because it's pushing your lungs down,

175

but it doesn't pull the blood out of your head.

176

So no, none of us lost consciousness on takeoff or even landing for that matter.

177

You can have a abnormal landing.

178

We call it ballistic landing,

179

which is a down mode from the normal type of landing,

180

and in that case, the G level can get up to about 8 or 9,

181

so that's pretty extreme.

182

And we've had a couple people who have had that experience.

183

It's not a bad mode of the spacecraft,

184

the Soyuz, it's just a down-moding,

185

just not acting normally, but it's not anything bad,

186

it's just how it's designed.

187

It's aerodynamically designed to do that, and it's fully survivable.

188

But in that case, that was a little bit excessive pressure.

189

If you can imagine, eight times gravity is pushing down on you.

190

It's pretty huge.

191

But it's not for a long period of time.

192

And we test this out so we all know what

193

that feels like by riding in a centrifuge in Star City outside of Moscow where we do the training.

194

We're in a centrifuge and we go through the whole landing profile with

195

that number of G's so you can feel what it's like.

196

So no loss of conscious under normal launch or landing.

197

A ballistic might have some impacts.

198

Everything's in one place community.englishspeeches.ca Let's speak English.

Together.
