Where you look you get the feeling that's where we live you feel the humanity that's our home you have the stark realisation that we couldn't exist anywhere else on earth is all we've gone to see feel this really strong connection. alexander gets to live just turned forty two when he takes off so he'll have a chance to celebrate this connection in space. oh earlier we spoke to a british astronaut a tim fake and asked what kind of challenges alexander and his crew could expect during their six month mission. well of course the main challenge is microgravity which is the reason we're out there b...

Yes well the life aboard the international space station is absolutely incredible of course it's fundamentally microgravity portrayed so we're up there to do scientific research the crew work extremely hard a whole range of different scientific experiments but of course the space station is also been out there for twenty years now so it does require some maintenance activity as well and we have to keep ourselves physically fit in space so that we can bear the punishment of skrabets when we return so that means you're pretty busy up there. very busy indeed and of course alex it will be his seco...

Change a parameter you learn new things here on earth of course we can change things like temperatures and pressures quite easily and experiment we can change gravity for a short period of time in either centrifuge or sounding rockets or parabolic flights but we can't go into microgravity for long periods of time to really investigate and study interesting things that happen unless we go into orbit for a while british astronaut tim peake speaking to us thank you so much tim. thank you. so here in germany chancellor angela merkel's refugee policy is still controversial her new coalition governm...

A really important opportunity for scientific research but what are the challenges of carrying out these experiments. well of course the main challenge is microgravity which is the reason we're out there but of course astronauts are well trained in how to deal with that of course it's also difficult to get items into space it's expensive and we need to maximize the opportunities that we have for doing scientific research but the space station has been up there for twenty years now and we have very use a very active scientific program and so the amount of science that we're doing on a daily bas...

He was a little taller and has been in a state of microgravity. this is normal. he has gone back to normal as well as decreased body index, get back. changed, dietary and nutritional changes. and it has not gone back to normal, his gene expression has remained altered. you have your dna, and from your dna, you have certain color hair, eye color and look a certain way. those jeans change throughout life. the inside of an apple turns brown. >> our body does the same thing, physical and mental stress can change our body. that is why we have chronic disease, heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes....
