Station, this is Wired. How do you hear me?
0:04
We hear you loud and clear.
0:04
These questions that I'm going to ask came from Google autocomplete, so this is what the people would like to know.
0:17
Do astronauts drink Tang?
0:17
I don't think we have Tang specifically on board, but we do have lots of fruit juices and coffees and teas and and water and even now milk.
0:31
Do astronauts drink their own pee?
0:34
Well, thank you for asking us to repeat these questions.
0:36
In a sense, yes.
0:36
We take the uh the condensate that the system collects up the urine and all that gets processed and then put out of a portable water dispenser, which is right over our head.
0:49
So every day that's pretty much what we do.
0:53
Can astronauts keep their suits?
0:56
Unfortunately not, no.
1:01
Our spacesuits are quite valuable pieces of equipment.
1:02
Can astronauts cry in space?
1:02
Of course astronauts can cry in space.
1:05
Uh you know, the water in space is different because it sticks to your skin.
1:10
It's almost like uh like this gluey substance that just has uh this ability to stick to your skin.
1:17
So if you were to have a really big cry, then your eyes would just swell up with water instead of dropping off.
1:24
Can astronauts wear glasses?
1:24
Of course they can wear glasses.
1:27
Jeff has his glasses on right now.
1:43
I'm wearing contact lenses.
1:43
Young Tim Peak doesn't need glasses, but we surely can wear them.
1:43
Can we whistle on the Moon?
1:43
The real question is, can we whistle in a spacesuit?
1:43
And it can be very difficult actually when you're outside doing a spacewalk, and it would be the same on the Moon, because in that in that case you're breathing 100% oxygen, which means you're at a much lower pressure.
1:52
So when you're at a lower pressure, uh whistling becomes a little bit more challenging.
1:56
We certainly can whistle here.
2:07
Do astronauts need passports?
2:07
When we come home, we do need passports because we land in Kazakhstan and we have to go through customs.
2:15
And so our ground team makes sure that we have our passport so that we can actually leave Kazakhstan and go back to America when we're done.
2:24
Do astronauts vote in space?
2:24
Yes, we can vote in space.
2:27
In fact, NASA's been very good about setting up a process so that that we can uh participate in the electoral process.
2:34
Do astronauts wear diapers?
2:38
Yes, is the answer to that question.
2:40
When we launch in the Sawyers, we have at least a couple of hours before launch sitting in that spacecraft.
2:47
And then we have to go through a six-hour rendezvous.
2:52
And then we have to spend a couple of hours um from docking until actually uh getting on board the space stations.
2:52
We also wear diapers when we go outside the space station, do a spacewalk.
2:52
We could spend anything from eight to 10 hours inside that spacesuit, sometimes longer.
2:52
So uh uh we're behoved to take precautions and wear diapers just in case you need to use it.
3:13
While astronauts can drink alcohol when we're training on the ground on planet Earth, but uh alcohol is not permitted on board the space station.
3:22
Can astronauts have piercings?
3:25
I'm I'm pretty sure there have been some of the the female astronauts that have been up here, the ladies that have had pierced ears and that kind of thing.
3:32
Other than that, I don't I'm not aware of any uh, but I'm also not aware of any restrictions.
3:36
So but I would suggest if uh somebody gets a piercing, they do it on the ground, not here.
3:45
Can humans colonize Mars?
3:45
Of course we can colonize Mars.
3:48
It's a it's both uh a technical and a political question because it would take a tremendous amount of resources and uh that has to have the political will on the funding to do that.
4:00
And then obviously we need to develop the technology both to get there quickly, land on the planet, and then uh be able to live there.
4:07
But uh I'm certain that someday we'll be able to see that, hopefully at our lifetime.
4:11
Station, this is Houston ACR.
4:13
Thank you, that concludes the event.
4:16
Thank you, have a great day.
