  Speaker 1: Welcome to Get Sleepy, where we listen, we relax, and
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: we get sleepy. As always, I'm your host, Thomas. Thanks
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: so much for tuning in. In tonight's sleepy story, I'll
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: guide you through an evening aboard the International Space Station.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: We'll discover what it would be like to live out
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: in space and follow an astronomical bedtime routine. All the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: details in this story are drawn from things real NASA
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: astronauts have shared and we've endeavored to give you an
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: accurate account on life up there. That said, times do
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: change and so do space stations, so keep in mind
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: that one astronaut's experience may not be exactly that of another.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Let's take a moment to get nicely settled into bed.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Make sure you're comfortable lying in whichever position feels best
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: right now. And just enjoy the feelings of your head
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: being supported by your pillow, your muscles resting and recovering
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: from the day. And allow your eyes to become heavier,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: letting them close if they haven't already. As you drift
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: into the comfort of bed and the sensation of sleepiness,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: allow your breathing to slow, drawing the air in fully
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and easing it back out nice and steadily. Breathe in again.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And gently back out. As you continue in that soothing pattern,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: allow your body to enjoy those natural, consistent processes of breathing.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And imagine that with each breath, you become more and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: more weightless. As if you're gradually leaving Earth's atmosphere, escaping
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the force of gravity, one breath at a time. Up
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and up, feeling lighter and lighter All pressure or tension
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: in the muscles eases away as you calmly enjoy a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: greater sense of freedom, a pleasant weightless sensation. And with that,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: let your mind drift away from where you are high
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: above your bed, above your home, your continent, zooming all
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the way out on planet Earth. Way up here, aboard
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the International Space Station, is where our story begins. Imagine
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: yourself in a small room with a few colleagues getting
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: ready for dinner. There are no plates on the little
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: table before you. Instead, there's a selection of meal pouches
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: stuck down with Velcro and you're floating in mid-air. This
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: is what life is like on the International Space Station
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: The astronauts end their day with a meal of dehydrated
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: food plus a few treats like fresh fruit or vegetables
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: if a shuttle has arrived recently. That's because they don't
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: have a good way to store fresh produce on the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: space station. When a shuttle or cargo ship arrives, It
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: delivers some fruits and vegetables for the residents to enjoy
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: for a while. After that, they're back to the shelf-stable,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: pre-packaged variety. If you lived on the space station, you
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: would eat a set of prepared, packaged meals designed to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: give you balanced nutrition and a reasonably varied menu. Many
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of your options would be dehydrated meals, like the ones
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: campers sometimes take on backpacking trips. Have you ever tried
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the astronaut ice cream they sometimes sell at gift shops? Well,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: your meals wouldn't taste anything like that. The reason is
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: that real astronauts on the space station add water to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: their dehydrated food. The water helps the food rehydrate, meaning
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it returns to a similar consistency as regular food, rather
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: than staying hard and dry. In fact, there's a special
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: setup in the kitchen where an astronaut can connect a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: pouch to add just the right amount of warm water
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to rehydrate that particular dish. So, if you were on
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the space station when dinner time came around, you'd pick
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a meal from those remaining. Then you'd connect the pouch
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and rehydrate it as needed. Once the food absorbed the water,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you'd open it up and eat. You might add a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: bit of sauce for some extra flavor, or maybe liquid
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: salt or liquid pepper. You couldn't use regular table salt
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: or dry spice powder, mind you. That would just float
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: around in microgravity. You might also have some special extras,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: favorite foods that you brought along or that family sent
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you on a cargo delivery. Little treats to have when
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: you chose. If you brought out one of these treats
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: at dinner time, you'd certainly share it with your colleagues.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: That's because dinner on the space station is a social affair.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: In fact, early space researchers realized that daily rituals, like
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: real shared meals, were important to morale. They were so
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: important that the space agencies devised a space station dinner
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: table so everyone could eat together. After all, in a
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: weightless environment, There's no real need for a table to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: hold food off the floor, like we have on Earth.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: And early space travelers just ate any old way, floating around,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: maybe even letting their food float in front of them.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Speaking of floating food, there are some things that just
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: aren't so great to have on the space station. Bread
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: is a good example. Fluffy bread takes up too much
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: room for the amount of nutrition it provides. It also
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: produces too many crumbs. It's expensive and difficult to get
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: anything off the earth and into space. On missions to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the space station, every ounce and every centimeter counts. all
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the food that's sent to space has to be long-lasting
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and has to deliver good nutritional value for its size. So,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: rather than bread, astronauts on the space station eat tortillas,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: which are much denser. Food on the space station also
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: can't be dry and crumbly That's because crumbs would just
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: float and drift around in the air, getting breathed in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: by the astronauts, or getting into their eyes. For that reason,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: most space station meals involve a bit of liquid, like
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: tomato sauce, curry sauce, or stew. Liquids have surface tension,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: For example, that's what makes water on a plastic spoon
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: bead up and form bubbles. Without enough gravity to keep
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: food on a spoon or fork, the surface tension of
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: sauce at least helps hold the food together in a clump.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: This clump then either sticks to a spoon or floats
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: where you can eat out of the air in front
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: of you. In contrast, a spoonful of dry cereal would
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: fly apart and spread out in all directions, like a
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: cloud of dust. When you were done eating your dinner,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: you would push yourself off away from the table and
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: float out of the room. That's how you'd get around
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the corridors and rooms of the space station. Without the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: effects of gravity, you're essentially weightless, as are all the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: other objects on the station. You and they simply float
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: unless tethered down. So, to go to places, you'd push
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and pull yourself along to keep your momentum carrying you
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: in your preferred direction. Along the walls, there are bars
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: placed at strategic intervals. You would use these to maneuver
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: along or to stop yourself You could also slip your
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: feet under one of these bars to simulate standing up
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: straight when you didn't feel like floating in place anymore.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: The International Space Station is about the size of a
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: football field. It has two bathrooms, workout equipment and the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: shared kitchen. plus sleeping quarters. It also has numerous laboratories
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: where the astronauts carry out scientific research. The station truly
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: is international. A partnership of space agencies from different countries
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: operates it and provides the components to keep it running.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: The principal space agencies involved are those of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and Canada. The agencies launched the first part of the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: space station in 1998, and they've added on since then.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Poised about 250 miles up above the Earth, The station
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: orbits so fast that it circles the planet every hour
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and a half. There have been astronauts living on the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: space station since late in the year 2000. They come
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: from numerous countries and generally spends several months or even
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: a year living in orbit, before being replaced by other astronauts. Typically,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: there are about seven people living and working on the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: station at any one time, but this varies during crew changeovers.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: In 2009, 13 astronauts visited the station at once, a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: record for the most people in space at one time. So,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: what would it be like living on the International Space Station?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Once you've finished your dinner, where would you go and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: what would you do as you wound down towards bedtime.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Perhaps when you left the kitchen area, you might go
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: to the window to watch the sunset. You would pull
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: yourself along to the cupola, a round dome of enormous
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: windows that faces the earth. As you came from the kitchen,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the opening to the cupola might seem to be below you,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: although direction doesn't mean much when you're weightless. To enter
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the cupola, you could just jump into it, pushing off
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: so that you shot down into the round room. There,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: you could flip yourself upside down so that the windows
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and earth would now seem to be facing up for you.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: The blue and white globe would fill your vision as
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you gazed out of the windows surrounding you. Drifting clouds
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and blue ocean would likely make up much of your view.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: But as you watched, you might pick out continents and
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: countries you might make out the shape of the coasts
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: far below. Depending on where the space station was in
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: its orbit, you might need to wait a bit for
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the sunset, but it's certain you wouldn't wait too long.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: At the speed the station goes around the Earth, there
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: are 16 sunsets and 16 sunrises every day. You might
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: see the sun go down over the Indian Ocean or
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the South Pacific, and this would be a sunset like
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you've never seen before. The setting star would cast its
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: glow of gold and pink against the curve of the planet,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: creating a sweeping panorama far grander than you can ever
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: see on earth. And the colors, without atmosphere to filter
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the light, and without dust and particles to dull it,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: you would witness the full brilliance of the vision. A
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: glory the earthbound never even knew they were missing. Then,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: when the sunset was over, you might pull yourself away
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: from the stunning views of your home planet, ready to
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: begin your bedtime routine. You could turn yourself upside down
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: once more, then push off and fly back up out
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: of the cupola to the other corridors beyond. There, you
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: might pause to gaze out a porthole for a very
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: different view. Here, instead of looking down on the enormous
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: ball of the earth, you would peer out into space.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Stars would glitter as far as you can see, and
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: galaxies would shine with that same unimagined brilliance. But then,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: you'd need to get a move on. Bedtime is a
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: serious affair on the International Space Station. the astronauts need
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to preserve their health and ensure they're in a good
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: state to work. When it's time for rest, the windows
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: are covered to block out the ever-rising sun for a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: few hours. Here at home, perhaps you like to take
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: a shower or bath before you go to bed. If
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: you lived on the space station, that ritual wouldn't be
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: anything like the showers and baths you're used to on Earth.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: There would be no stream of hot water flowing down
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: over you, or tub of water to sink into. In fact,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: there'd be very little water at all. In microgravity, water
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: wouldn't go down or stay down, and it couldn't find
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the drain. Instead, the water would just bend up into
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: blobs in the air, looking like big bubbles, and drift
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: slowly around. Not much good for rinsing or soaking. Plus,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Water is a precious resource that's also extremely limited on
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the space station. So in space, washing time is more
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: like taking a floating sponge bath. For your sponge bath,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: you would add warm water to a pouch of special soap.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: This kind of soap was first developed for use in
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: hospitals and doesn't need to be rinsed off. Then, you'd
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: squirt this soapy water onto a washcloth or towel and
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: use it to rub yourself clean. To wash your hair,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you could also squirt a little water and some no-rinse
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: shampoo onto your head. lather it up all over, and
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: then wipe it off with a towel. You could even
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: wash your hair with your shirt on if you wanted to.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: In microgravity, the water wouldn't drip down onto your clothes,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: so they'd stay perfectly dry. You would brush your hair afterwards,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: but you probably wouldn't get into any elaborate styling. That's
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: because on the space station, your hair would just float
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: up around you. If it was any longer than a
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: buzz cut, your style might be more of the mad
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: scientist look. At any rate, whether you're an evening shower
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: person or not, you'd certainly brush your teeth before bed.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: And this ritual, too, would look a bit different on
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the space station. To start with, you'd need to use
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: what one astronaut has called a space toothbrush. You may
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: be wondering what a space toothbrush is and how it's
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: different from a regular one. Well, truth be told, it's
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: actually not that different. A regular toothbrush needs just one
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: small adaptation to make it a space toothbrush. It needs
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: a bit of Velcro on the back. Just about everything
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: on the space station is outfitted with Velcro. so the
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: astronauts can put the items down or stick them to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: a wall without worrying about them drifting off. To brush
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: your teeth in space, you'd get out your toothbrush and
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: toothpaste with their bits of Velcro. You'd squeeze out your
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: toothpaste into the air, upwards if you wanted, or downwards.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: it would form a perfect line of paste floating out
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: from the tube, whichever way you squeezed. Luckily though, toothpaste
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: is sticky enough to stay on the toothbrush. Next, you'd
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: carefully squirt some water on top, which would stick to
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the toothbrush too, thanks to that handy surface tension. then
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the actual brushing wouldn't be so different from at home.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: But when you finished brushing and rinsing, you'd have to
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: either spit into a paper towel or swallow the toothpaste.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Once you finished your nightly routine, it would be time
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: to hit the sack. And on the International Space Station,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: This saying is more literal than it is here at home.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: The astronauts really do have sleep sacks to zip themselves into,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: which are attached to the wall in small sleep chambers
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: that serve as their individual bedrooms. The sleep sacks are
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: like sleeping bags, except that they have holes for the
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: astronauts arms. The sacks are affixed to the walls in
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: what might look like an upright position, but without gravity
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: to pull on their bodies, it doesn't matter which way
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: they're positioned when they go to bed. Wherever they face,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: they are sleeping on air. On Earth, they might toss
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: and turn if there's a lump in the bed, or
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to take the pressure off their shoulders or hips. But
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: that doesn't happen in space. In microgravity, even the princess
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: with the pea could sleep like a baby. Take a
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: moment to imagine it now. If you were on the
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: space station, You'd pull yourself into your comfortable bedchamber, which
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: would always be a pleasant temperature thanks to the station's
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: climate controls. You'd drift softly as you pulled yourself inside
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: your sleep sack. You'd maneuver the bag around you and
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: zip it up, feeling its warmth but none of its weight.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: It would hug you ever so lightly as you slipped
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: your arms through the holes, giving you perfect freedom of movement.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: And then, you would float, hovering gently, just tethered lightly
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: by the bag, floating independently, yet held in place with
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the lightest touch. A pleasant mix of freedom and security.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: It gives a new meaning to drifting off to sleep.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: For those who are attached to their pillows, there are
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: removable cushions stuck on the head of the sleeping bag.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: You could use this to secure your head against the
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: cushions and recreate that familiar sensation of resting on a pillow,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: if you wished. That's because the cushions have a wide
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: band attached, which you would slip around your head to
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: hold in position. Over your eyes, the band would function
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: as a sleep mask, while also keeping you and your
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: pillow in cozy contact Once you were inside your sleep sack,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: your arms would float up, weightless, outside the confines of
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: the warm sleeping bag. Snug in your bag, you could
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: indulge in your preferred bedtime wind down. The astronauts have
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: computer stations inside their bedrooms where they can work, watch,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: read or browse. They can also put up favorite photographs
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: and secure personal items to the wall. They may keep books,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: a stuffed animal or other objects that make them feel
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: at home. Perhaps you would read for a while. You
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: might let yourself slip away into an absorbing novel. It
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: would carry you off into another world as you followed
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: the characters on their adventures. Although no fictional adventure could
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: be more fantastical than your own adventure living in space.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: you might put on some soft music, something soothing and familiar.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Or perhaps you'd even listen to a story like this one.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: In the background, the gentle wear of the space station's
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: machinery would keep you company, providing a soothingly consistent white noise.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: After a while, you might slip in earplugs, plunging yourself
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: into a pleasant realm of muffled quiet. And then, at last,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: you might allow yourself a period of just resting, doing nothing,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: floating towards sleep. You could meditate or allow your mind
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: to wander, reminding yourself gently to let any worries wait
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: for the morning. This would be a time to permit
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: yourself to relax and to wind down towards sleep without
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: any pressure. You wouldn't put any pressure on your mind,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: just like there wouldn't be any pressure on your body
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: as you floated in the weightlessness of space. With your
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: eyes lightly closed, you would revel with your whole body
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: and mind in this freeing feeling. Nothing pulling on you,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: nothing weighing you down. As your body floated, so too
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: would your mind. You would feel so incredibly light as
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: both physical and emotional weights lifted away from your shoulders.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Even your hair would drift softly, hovering around your head
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: and ears, rather than lying on them. And if you
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: preferred to skip the pillow, your head itself would experience
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: this same novel sensation, as it hovered lightly against the
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: soft cushion, rather than resting upon Your mind might drift
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: to the stars outside. Your thoughts could wander and mingle
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: with the beautiful, inky darkness, with brilliant points of light
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: scattered in every direction. After all, the view in space,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: unhindered by atmosphere, makes it possible to see all the
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: stars around you, all the countless pinpricks of light shining
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: uninterrupted in every direction. You may think about the exquisite
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: splendor of the universe, its majesty and its mystery, The
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: wonder and beauty of it all would suffuse you, and
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: you would recognize your own place and your own belonging
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: within the glorious magnificence of existence. And as your mind
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: merged with the vastness of the universe, Your consciousness would
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: expand and melt into the limitlessness around you, until your
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: conscious mind surrendered and you slip into a blissful, peaceful
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: state of rest here aboard the International Space Station.
