半年近く暮らしました
Space Station for almost six months.
「ねぇ 宇宙ってどんな感じ？」
which is, "What's it like in space?"
it's a place that is magic for all of us.
伝えられたらと思います
ロケットに乗り込み
dangerous thing that we do,
ロケットエンジンの
fury of those rocket engines
肌で感じました
加速していきます
on purpose, those engines stop --
エンジンは停止します
始まりです
are circling the Earth
地球を周回しながら
注意深く接近します
絶妙なダンスです
at 17,500 miles an hour
小型車くらいの大きさで
the size of a Smart Car,
the size of a football field.
サッカー場くらいの大きさがあります
ドッキングすると到着です
with a gentle thunk.
ハグをします
出来上がりです
the entire space station,
飛んでいけます
tuck in with your toes.
was drifting silently
分かっているのかしらと思います
if it knew I was there,
of that with the crew
他の乗員と共有することも
素敵な通勤から始まります
starts with the perfect commute.
ラボへ向かい
おはようの挨拶をします
morning view ever.
only 30 seconds,
飽きることがありません
of looking out that window.
actually still very close to Earth.
思い起こさせてくれます
補給船をキャッチした２番目のチームでした
to use the Canadian robotic arm
the size of a school bus
different experiments
チョコレートが積まれています
for the next four months.
every single one of those experiments
科学の疑問への答えを出してくれます
scientific question answered
to questions like,
upside down, right side up --
右側を上にしても眠れますが
ふわふわ浮きながら眠るというものです
in a little ball and floating freely.
しません
空の補給船に積んで
into an empty supply ship
so I made a little video,
短いビデオを作りました
ほしかったからです
どれほど有用なものか
helps everything go
収められます
we filter it and then we drink it.
ろ過し 飲みます
味はなかなかいけます
but actually tastes pretty good.
the table that's important,
大切なことです
a crew together.
to the rest of the world.
保つ方法でした
イアン・アンダーソンと一緒に
of human spaceflight.
デュエットをしました
とても大事でした
the whole time I was up there,
ほとんど毎日家族と話しました
ただ一緒にいるために
as a way for us just to be together.
マサチューセッツ上空を通るとき
would go over Massachusetts,
sailing across the sky.
一番明るい星を探します
家は見えませんが
I couldn't see my house,
that the people I loved the most
そのことが
ミッションと魔法が一緒になった場所です
where mission and magic come together.
重要な一歩であり
sustainability here on Earth.
欠かせないことでもあります
好きだったし
my family with me,
教えてくれました
同じ地の出身であることを
果たすべき役割があることを

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Cady Coleman - AstronautCady Coleman draws from her time at NASA and her missions on the International Space Station to share insights about team building, leadership and innovation.
Why you should listen
Cady Coleman is a scientist, wife, mother, pilot, musician, retired NASA Astronaut and a veteran of two Space Shuttle missions and a six-month trip aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Passionate about sharing her experiences aboard the ISS, Coleman delivered the introductory talk for TED2011 from space.
Coleman currently serves as University Explorer at Arizona State University and as a consultant for a wide range of space-related projects. Her first Space Shuttle mission set the stage for astronauts to conduct pioneering research aboard the ISS in materials science, biotechnology, combustion science and fluid physics. Launching the Chandra X-Ray Observatory was the focus of her second mission, making it possible for scientists everywhere to learn about black holes and dark matter. During her space station expedition, Coleman was the Lead Robotics and Lead Science officer, performing hundreds of science experiments and the second-ever robotic capture of a supply ship from the station. During her ISS mission, she and her crew coached actress Sandra Bullock in preparation for Bullock's role in the movie Gravity.
On the ground at NASA, Coleman served in a variety of roles within the Astronaut Office, including Chief of Robotics, lead for tile repair efforts after the Columbia accident, and, most notably, the lead astronaut for the integration of supply ships. She paved the way for commercial spaceflight collaborations that are now commonplace.
Before retiring from NASA, Coleman led open-innovation and public-private partnership efforts for the Office of the Chief Technologist at NASA Headquarters. As a volunteer test subject for the US Air Force centrifuge program, she set several human endurance/tolerance records while performing physiological and new equipment studies.
In addition to her role as University Explorer at ASU, Coleman is a research affiliate at the MIT Media Lab. She serves on several boards, including the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Earthrise Alliance, Dent the Future, Skycatch and Greenfield Community College.
Coleman earned a BS in chemistry from MIT in 1983 and a Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts in 1991. She is married to glass artist Josh Simpson, has two sons, Josiah and Jamey, and calls Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts her home. In their spare time, Coleman and Josh share a love of flying, diving and the exploration of new worlds right here on earth.
