NASA Astronaut Don Pettit Turns the Camera on Science

1. 0:02I come alive when I'm in orbit.
2. 0:05It's like my being should be in space.
3. 0:10Some people are born to be cowboys and ride a horse.
4. 0:14I'm born to ride a rocket and be in space.
5. 0:18And there is NASA astronaut Don Pettit flying in
6. 0:21to the International Space Station
7. 0:27Science of Opportunity happens on Earth.
8. 0:29It happens anywhere there are scientists, engineers, uber geeks that are tasked with doing some programmatic work in a laboratory,
9. 0:39and because you are there and you can, you get an idea.
10. 0:44It's not on the script, it's not part of the program, but you get an idea.
11. 0:49So the Science of Opportunity happens anywhere there are people thinking about
12. 0:55advancing our knowledge and the same thing happens on space station.
13. 1:02Wow. That is a good one.
14. 1:05And then that, that rogue drop just came in from someplace and then it went someplace.
15. 1:10Whoa!
16. 1:11Look at that.
17. 1:15I have been working with ice.
18. 1:18I'm, freezing and thawing these crystals and looking at the front between the different crystals.
19. 1:27The kind of research we do on space station is research where gravity has a major factor in the equation.
20. 1:42Looking at Earth's
21. 1:43horizon and our atmosphere on edge is truly a unique sight.
22. 1:48You can also point your camera more zenith and you can look at Milky Way structures.
23. 1:59Images from space help tell the story to people on Earth that don't have the opportunity to go into space.
24. 2:07So the photographs help complete the story of what it means for human beings to expand into space
25. 2:16and expand into this frontier.
