1st. And then go on to beyond it all anyway were moving towards that future Division Soon well get back to the moon and then well make it to muscle by them with words but youre saying that its expensive so my next question is why dont we have rovers that are able to collect pretty much any useful information that we would need from outer space on earth why do we need to send humans to space and not have im not talking about Space Tourism like pay money to actually send people there. After my deed skis an automated station can only provide answers to questions that its been programs to answer i thought id use a Program Utility chillier as a human on the i assess he is able to discover new things or that he can make adjustments to an experiment so he took a cue to know when a poor data program moreover the technology needed for them to survive in outer space will follow them back home but it could last and it can then be used here on earth would to help ordinary people in their daily lives. So you are scientists 1st and foremost and youre a 1st scientist to actually be the captain of the crew which is amazing and youre saying that austin off cost a lot should be actually intellectually well equipped they should be ready for all different kinds of situations and its better if their side so you know in sports kids start to prepare from very young ages to become. Professional sports man do you think something similar should be done with astronauts and hospitals i mean should there be like a special preparation in all fields for a person who is supposed to go up in space. Regardless of their basic education. Becomes a one man army. To speak by the end of the training. Ground experts who can basically do just about and. Suppose it would be hard to prepare people for that kind of work in advance. Do you think we should invite professionals. Of education preferably with a ph d. Because that shows that a person is able to analyze and process data. And then we train them to become experts who said so i always thing to men self what happens if once youre in space you have a health issue for instance youre up and decided. Well the crew be able to perform and up and back to me when you isnt like something that youre trained for before you go. Fully prepared for any contingency your emergency as to where paul is to get the little boy with fully prepared for anything but i would be able to resolve any situation. Many emergencies require experience. While i must admit that i had to provide 1st aid to some of my colleagues and ones on my missions and it was hard on them as i know its one thing to try it on a plastic dummy list when you kin totally different when youre dealing with a real human being who is in pain and could actually done most of by giving that but we do have decent medical care. Of course the i. S. A. s remains in contact with Ground Control and 99 percent of the time. Has it ever happened to you that you physically have to same someone up and. What can you tell me an example is that a secret. Classified classified information ok wow im really impressed so i know that 0 g. Causes muscle atrophy its also bad for your bones if youre up there for too long what other negative factors can suffer from if youre in open space too much. 1st of all obviously. The redistribution of body fluids that. Can be replenished but it significant. Generally when using any of its systems they start deteriorating almost instantly which is amazing in terms of how he works as soon as you stop reading books you start losing neural connections. Your muscles weaken. Really function any positive. On health i mean on human body we havent noticed any seriously because i was thinking you know we hear people on earth are so caught up in our routine that we are very tense it is very hard to get like a good massage and relax something you feel like floating up in the air is probably like the best way to relax your muscles no. I guess thats true but it really hurts at 1st. Because of that when you get to 0 gravity your spine begins to stretch to give its you say to the ligaments that have been holding your spine upright so you spend your 1st several days in a lot of pain that because you actually grew several centimeters toula. But i also heard that cancer cells grow much slower when you are in outer space can that maybe help cure or cancel or find like a lead weight to curing cancer here on earth this was not a difficult question. All of our body cells respond that way. Some cells actually start reproducing other high or a disease because weve got to also exposure to space radiation could lead to stronger mutation and we still researching these factors and the u. S. Says is particularly valuable as a Major Research facility that runs large numbers of scientific experiments concurrently so i mean Space Tourism is like a huge topic now and more and more people are going to be going out there and weve seen examples but. Do you 1st see in future people going to outer space not only for touristic. Reasons but for treatment could that be possible could something that we can cure here on earth because of this atmosphere be cured there and then we come back healthy. Fall in one of the but it is quite possible i cant rule out the possibility because 0 gravity does indeed provide a unique environment. For some time it will still be a site for research and some dedicated projects the idea because its really hard to imagine an outburst suddenly of medical tourism if. Thats because of the massive vibration with the people suffer under launch with children yet. Then again why not. Im sure well soon see Space Tourism develop rapidly even that has to be to me School Buddies im sure you know what im talking about a year ago russians took a 3 d. Printer to s. S. To actually print organs produce human tissue living cells materials not actual is exploring this opportunity as well i dont really understand why theyre doing it there because when we 3 d. Print organs here on earth with 3 d. Print them but they cant really work with our bodies yet so is it any different when you take them to assess and print them their. Very information isnt quite right ok correct me. The problem is not that 3 d. Printed organs are rejected as more simply no way to produce them. When you try to grow substrate you get is malformed lairs of cells. Instead of real healthy tissue. You can get a properly structured human with all its. And all in the right place. It could be attempted in 0 gravity though. Thats why this line of research is drawing a lot of attention right now. So have you have to have anything physical in terms of the spear him and the outer space already or is it just really the beginner stage were only just taking off 1st. Few attempts but we havent had any real breakthroughs. On the foundations. Its a very promising technology. The Space Exploration seems like so many ways and its hard to imagine that anything there could be applicable in real life here but nonetheless what technology is developed in space now can be used. Here on earth today. There is a lot of Amazing Technology that has already become part of life in this when we use it every day now. For example. On sneakers. Networks. For other things being developed. Its hard to say whether they will become that widespread. You know there are enough very Interesting Research projects on new materials new plastics and metals when you confused together very light and very heavy metals. And new drugs are being researched to such a growing proteins which can only be done in 0 gravity its impossible to do it on earth. Is also being conducted on building artificial crystals which may be very useful for the laser equipment industry. But theres no way to know what new technology and things it might give us. Right now. Sex drugs or financial survival go. On customers go buy your stuff like. Good now well reduce the hour. Thats undercutting but whats good for food markets is not good for the global economy. And the money is going is a mighty im not one. Of them saddam. About what it was it was a bit and i want to listen to the bomb was more about. What we know more than the fact that both of them are. Seen that are going to be in but im before put a card on them by the. Body im not one. To. Join me every thursday on the ballot so i will be sure and ill be speaking to get us to the world of politics or business im show business ill show you that. And i were back with him give an oscar nod and buy a chemist discussing spaceflights and the future of Space Exploration so see i want to ask you a bit more about the effects that space would have on human bodies for instance does the aging process go slower or faster for instance like ice ice skaters my friends professional ice skaters and they. Age much slower than we do i mean they dont have a wrinkle you know theyre ghosts because they live basically in their refrigerator what about in space. Im not sure it works like that. I think the. Process is take place in a very serious way and the cosmonauts of course do look younger than their age. But the reason for that is provably due to their lifestyle was the reason you regular training in the medical checkups feel right at least when youre on active duty your being monitored all of the time and its up to you to keep your health under control of the regular person doesnt do that as often unfortunately. Something happens. But as. Is a complex process of us more and i dont think you can say with any degree of certainty that 0 gravity produces any particular effect idealist but its true that experiments have been conducted to analyze that. On animals and humans when the changes that have been reported conform with known statistical information that in the new with no definite patterns have been found yet. This is a real the dawn of the space era the aging is a long process to analyze step by step. What about the whole sleeping because. We cautious humans understand today the importance of sleep i mean if you sleep at night and sleep well thats half of your health right. Into your fellow colonic. From a paul and he was like the best i have ever gotten it was like what i was up there it was like the deepest deepest lay by me for me its unimaginable because i really was one of my pillow and my blanket what about you how do you. Well. First it was uncomfortable to sleep in. About the same. Space that. All the things that we. Space you sleep in a kind of. Basically sleeping bag and you have to remember to secure it. Wake up in a different of the International Space station. But it is a grade for your back and for everything i feel like everythings resting finally when youre like floating in the air to sing the 0 g. Feels absolutely incredible and its really great. But the thing is that when you feel like. Thats probably why everyones dream to soar like a bird that thats how you feel. You know youll have to come back to the world of gravity. So you train harder every day. Than astronauts exercises at least 2 hours every day because its a must they have to keep their bodies in good shape to deal with gravity and recovery when youre up there youre doing to our sports ok. Yes i mean you come back recovering after 0 g. Is very hard. So its a true that people dont snore when theyre up there when they sleep. Well because it prevents us from making those. 0 g. Means no obstructions and everything is perfect. So youre super popular on instagram and you post the most beautiful images of earth from above and i guess its sort of your hobby and youve lot of followers but then you told me that youve been commissioned by a ecologist and even sociologist to make pictures i understand how you would make pictures for scientific reasons. And by mental may need it which are all just me but what does sociology mean those places for. Well just completely unpredictable people. One interesting project for example is aimed at determining population density and levels of prosperity based on the illumination intensity in this. Roads small villages we can see it all from space if we use advanced photographic equipment capable of capturing images at the enormous speed at which the moves. Using short exposure and high sensitivity. And we can get really good very interesting data. So youve been saying that. Sort of outlived itself and we should really refocus one more time on our flight to mars and our efforts to get us to mars so it would take. 7 to 8 months right to get to mars. Right ok thats just to get there not taking the return leg and the time staying there so given the levels of radiation there i mean would it be possible to get to mars and back without irreversible consequences for us. Yes. We need to do more research. Total amount of radiation an astronaut gets these days exceeds what a mars mission crew would get. If you talk about the mir the old soviet space station. Crew were exposed to even higher radiation levels and they spent up to one and a half years on board. Missions will longer the orbit was. The radiation higher. Used to complete more missions that. Think it would have a terrible impact on a persons health. And human that it. Will mean that further missions might not be very advisable. Show us i want to ask you about the Embryo Research that showed that radiation takes a heavy toll on the fetus and causing mutation stillbirth this program was shut this Research Program is anywhere a search of this kind being done now because were talking about final marse going to marse. I feel like this is very relevant for us to continue research in that field as well. Fortunately new Research Like that is being conducted at the moment. Were doing the research performed on bio satellites back in soviet times proved that space radiation is the main factor that influences the development of a fetus. Good idea. If space radiation affects a cell in my body. But the body would be ok but if that happens to a developing embryo when it would lead to mutations. That could result in a stillbirth all some other anomalies. Anomaly and so we know that its not space so is 0 gene that impacts development in this. Space radiation. Even though. Until were able to learn to shield ourselves from it properly there really is no point in doing any further experimentation. But it but do you worry that once we go to other parents our ability to reproduce would be a better importance. Of course it will. And if we decide to build long term stations on other planets we need to study the issue that and plan for it in advance even though because there are some very serious risks that have been scientifically proven the advice in even if i dont wish there were not running any experiments currently either on the. Satellite image that will make us missed but the very least we can do is consider all of the option of them with doesnt do well and certainly if we just think of building manned space stations we need to pick locations very carefully and make sure theyre protected from space radiation yes so i say for decades now has been this platform for a corporation where you guys come together and put all the differences that your countries have on earth aside do you think were talking about were focusing on flying to mars. Auster not so that the Community Space community will come together in achieving that together or is it going to be who is going to get there 1st. Im a huge fan of the idea and i really hope that a manned missions will be a joint effort signifying humanitys success in the rather than the success of a single nation. At least i think that would be the right way to do it that. Is living proof that we can be successful as a team that we can Work Together peacefully and productively is no borders with a new politics between us so we have one example that our needs. Clearly a manned mission to mars would involve enormous cost and was also has. Been i cant imagine one nation no matter how rich it might be completing a project like that. We need to start working on it jointly. And it may well be that this mission will have a positive reconciliatory effect on whatever differences we have between us on a new video so why age or too has given 1st signal in 40 years from the interstellar space its the 1st time it was launched right so we talk often with going back to the moon and going back to mars and you know the only one a lot of your colleagues are dreaming actually to. Realize that project to be on mars and to go back to moon but there are few projects aim that deep space why do we get so little attention to the Interstellar Flight is it just not cool enough. I think just a little too. Its natural that humanity is more interested in. Close enough to a planet something we all future generations could use to our advantage. Cool. That its extremely time consuming and to run an experiment takes 40 years to complete with a scientist i can imagine but as a person. Very rewarding it. Is possible that once we manage to produce new engines capable of producing much higher speeds it will make more sense. Well be able to just send dozens of spacecraft on scouting missions in Different Directions to see whats out there whos out there used to use it for a benefit. So youve said something that really mark said when you fly into orbit you fly there as a patch youre out of your country and you come back to earth you come back a citizen of earth. Where remember that. What happens to a person up there that you come back a citizen of the world i mean you obviously still love your country. But thats secondary because 1st of all your earth. Take the credit for those words. When the time came for me to go into space on a mission and see it all for myself. Spaceflight you literally leave all your problems behind. Everyone and everything. You see. Disappear. Planet is not as were taught in schools with Different Countries marked in different colors separate from one another. Just another big International Space station its on a mission in the vastness of space just like the i said. Also with just a tiny speck of dust in this infinite universe we need to learn not to divide this tiny speck of dust with a boulder but to live in peace and to work jointly and of course. Exploring outer space. Thank you so much for this wonderful interview for all the inside you know i cant wait for all of your projects. Dreams to come true and hopefully i will be speaking about something that came true. In the very near future good luck with. The future of space travel. Well its finally begun the impeachment of. The president and his supporters say the process is nothing more than a p
