You is how reusable it is. the reusable booster that lands on its own, the capsule itself, fairly precise, you are in space for a little while but there was always a debate whether they can claim to be astronauts, they say we were up there, dont care how long it was, we are astronauts. where are you on this? >> the question continues to hunt us. space flyer is a big term for me. i spent nine years before i got a sniff of outer space. now it is different, they are in microgravity for a few minute...

The three Chinese astronauts who are now on board Tianhe, the core module of Tiangong space station, will work and live there for about six months. This is the longest mission so far for Chinese astronauts.

Relatively cursory check, but just to make sure nothing has happened unforeseen between when you last checked them, and as you heard, youll be going through additional 5g, youll go through 3g, have a lot of disorientation from microgravity. so you want to make sure everything is working normally. so its going to be a cursory check, not a deep check. >> and the four people inside have very little to do, right? theres no pre-check stuff that they have to do to make sure that the capsule and the wh...

In on something. >> the whole adaptation to zero gravity and the impact. so when youre on the parabolic flight or the vomit comet, every 20 seconds, you go from microgravity to pulling about 2g. so thats a very different profile. so the nausea, the things that you feel are really more akin to motion sickness than space adaptation syndrome or adapting to zero g. so what happens with the three minutes, its probably going to be more akin to motion effects. but once you actually go into orbit, then ...

Embryos develop this space, frog embryos develop in space. there was this wide range of experimentation that i think is also part of the heart blood of space exploration, and why you use microgravity as a platform. it was both, the visual, the physiological, but the work and how we can use it back here on earth. those visions hold for me. and scott, i would kind of ask you the same question. what is it like or the things that yo keep close to you that changed you? just seeing the curvature of th...

0 >> i wouldnt say all of it is aimed towards that. of course, any commercial veteran needs to turn a profit in order to stay in business. so its partially about that. its partially about helping jeff bezos realize his big picture dream of colonizing what we call sis lunar space, the area between low earth orbit and the moon. this is a small first step for jeff bezos and blue origin, showing that they can launch people successfully into space and they have other rockets and bigger ambitions on t...
