Expedition 26 Flight Engineer Cady Coleman demonstrates playing the flute on the International Space Station during an interview with National Public Radio's "All Things Considered."
Because they have to painfully wait out the flute solo as their waist/stomach harnesses are digging in to their weak abdominal muscles. All NASA vids are the same......AstroNots being very uncomfortable as they are being filmed whilst pretending to not be uncomfortable.
Fun fact. Gravity relocates human organs inside the body in space. The heart and eyeballs also change shape. 👀 Think maybe this guys brain flopped out upon somersaulting.
Said "AstroNot" is one of the the best/repeat giveaways guys that are wearing a stomach/waist harness. Other dead giveaways are: Strained forehead main vain, folded arms across the chest, serious look/"planet serius", lifting of the legs towards chest to aid the weak abdominal muscles that are struggling to support the axis point of the body's weight due to the harness, the PERFECTLY crease/wrinkle free expertly ironed clothing of all AstroNots that do interviews/videos........Hope this helps answer your question and I hope this helps along your path of truth which is enlightenment.
Thanks Cady! I'm the principal flutist of an orchestra in Mexico and I play a Brannen Cooper as well. My friends in the atronomy group I attend just LOVED this and send their greetings from SALAC Torreon, Mexico! Katie
zamot699 the one in the middle has a watch and the other one is actually a tiny device size comparable to the fitbit, it tracks how much sleep he gets since they see the sun 16 times in a 24 hour period. It can mess up their bodies sleep schedule so they use that little device to keep track to possibly make sleep on the space station easier in the future. its almost like tracking sleep data. 🤗 hope that helps
Aviv Maish what 😕😕😕 do not think that the reason it does not matter because one side of the Earth is light one side of the Earth is dark so they know if it's p.m. or a.m. so I'm really sure that's not the reason
Probably mission time and home time. I was just watching a space walk live and it was 5 am local time here. So they probably keep time to know when to call home so to speak
You can't be a Maritimer and not know of the wonder of folk singer Stan Rogers! How sweet a dedication. You can find links online to our infamous Bluenose Schooner once again under refit. History in the making near and far! Thanks for sharing the music.
All A's... Highschool/College GPA of 4.5, Masters/PHD in chemistry, astrology, mathematics, engineering (one of them) A lot of outside work (Intern, living over seas for long periods of time, determination.) Don't get your hopes up if you don't meet these requirements...
2:32 note to self: if ur seeing a guy claping his hands, WITHOUT hearing the sound of the claps, then ur in space :)) Happy floating around :))) Great flute, btw :)) always wanted to have (and able to play ) one:))
+Khoa Nguyễn that's actually because their microphone is switched off when he's clapping. You can't hear sound in the vacuum of Space, but onboard the space station they have air to breath and sound can move through air. That's why we can hear them talking etc.
He can keep time twice as accurately. My actual guess would be that one would display the time the work on and one would display a time on the ground like Houston or something.
Surely that's obvious. One is "our time" and the other is "your time". Just so they can say to NASA, "We fixed your problem at one niner hours... your time."
I bet you're glad you didn't take up the cello or tuba, as those would be a little more of hassle to transport! Just kidding, very nice. Seems like an excellent method of calibrating your cognition, and muscle memory while in orbit since you can finely compare experiences between ground and space and detect subtle changes, possibly, or none, which is equally interesting. Have you noticed changes? Have you compared recordings to detect changes?
Yes when you first arrive in space your blood will go to your head, this is why their heads always look huge and red, our bodies were not made to be in zero gravity.
