Part 5: A Day In The Life Onboard The ISS

[8th1der00]

do you get dizzy?

[TiNyHasHx]

i want to fly also :(

[sudler2008]

This guy is funny. It's about time someone puts a real human face and some comic relief on life in space. Most of the other astronauts making videos in space are churn out bland explanations of some scientific observation. But with this guy, I can relate to him - get me some coffee in the morning, check my morning email, chow down some breakfast, do some work, and laugh it up with my buddies. Nice video series!

what's the average radiation level in the iss?

[cud0s]

that's definitely the best job ever

[randomonio]

@cud0s i think it'll be everyone's dream job.

[Ichvyenichalster]

Why not just take videos of the Earth then pull screen shots?

[TheGhostHunter500]

there are 2 things that i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to do in my life

1. flying in zero gravity

2. breathing helium gas to change my voice

[Ichvyenichalster]

@TheGhostHunter500 At least one of those is really accesible and easy to do. Try breathing in sodium hexaflouride, it does the opposite.

[TheGhostHunter500]

@Ichvyenichalster LOL i did not know that. thx anyway for the reply

[olagaga101]

that looks so fun

[tkodawg1]

Taking pics of Egypt for the CIA so we can drop bombs on those mofo's!

[n8dogg87]

@tkodawg1 Since when did we ever have a beef with Egypt??

[DemonAMVs]

@tkodawg1 Your thinking of the middle eastern countries.

[hambonester1]

I hope one day normal people will be able to go into space

[yesiamawizardjonny]

@hambonester1 That might be cool. I wonder how many years away that is.

[Doomprism]

but do you have INTERNET?

[BACKWARDSgameREVIEWS]

@Doomprism Ya they have internet.

[Ichvyenichalster]

@BACKWARDSgameREVIEWS Super fast satellite internet 

[justinRkeaton]

messy?? toothpaste. looks like the hole ship is nasty and messy, looks like being nasa ans so advanced they would have a well cleaned ship

[frickenchad]

you could spit it into a bag :)

[yesiamawizardjonny]

@frickenchad I'd spit it into a bag and then go perform an EVA and dump all the trash into Space.

[uzimaster]

"Uh oh, looks like it's time to take a photo of that lake in Egypt." What a job.

[grjls]

lol that was funny

[Ichvyenichalster]

@uzimaster There's a little more to it than that...

[NInails19]

no freezer?

dammmmm that sux

[mattlay]

WOW Simple Minds playin there...absolutely amazing.

[globs89]

aren't all iss crew members advanced engineers?

[mattlay]

No idea sorry

[amuda1]

most of them have advanced degrees

[steveo72990]

The minimum that you need to enter the selection program is a bachelors. After that you'll need 3 years experience in your field, OR a pHD

[AshtonTheGeek]

Alot of them tend to have a masters or a PhD in either Science or Engineering. Depends on the mission as to what qualifications they possess. If you look on Nasa's website, you can view their Bio's.

[gameboxfreak]

@globs89

even advanced engineers can have a little fun

[Ichvyenichalster]

@globs89 Anyone can apply to the space program but almost all of those who are chosen have degrees in aerospace, mechanical, or electrical engineering... or something of that sort, and have some good experience. The one(s) who actually pilots the shuttle and modules needs to be an experienced pilot, though.

[MrTheMLT]

@globs89 no. some are civilains that have advanced degress in Math, Science and Enginering. Take Sandra Magnus(STS-135, Expedition 18) she has just a bachlors degree in college.
