Space Station for almost six months.
yaklaşık altı ay geçirdim.
which is, "What's it like in space?"
''Uzayda yasam nasıl?''
it's a place that is magic for all of us.
sihirli bir yer olduğunu anlatacağım.
dangerous thing that we do,
fury of those rocket engines
iliklerime kadar hissettim.
on purpose, those engines stop --
motorlar kasten durana kadar --
are circling the Earth
küçücük uzay aracımızda
at 17,500 miles an hour
gerçekleşen bir dans,
the size of a Smart Car,
the size of a football field.
olan uzay istasyonu arasında.
with a gentle thunk.
birleşirken varıyoruz.
sıfır yer çekimiyle sarılıyoruz
the entire space station,
diğer ucuna itebiliyor
tuck in with your toes.
sabit durmaya çalışıyorsunuz.
was drifting silently
sessizce kayıp gitmekti,
if it knew I was there,
biliyor mu diye merak ediyordum,
of that with the crew
bir parçasıydı.
starts with the perfect commute.
kusursuz bir işe gidişle başlıyor.
morning view ever.
manzarasını selamlıyorum.
only 30 seconds,
sadece 30 saniye sürüyor
of looking out that window.
hiç bıkmıyorsunuz.
actually still very close to Earth.
çok yakın olduğumuzu hatırlatıyor.
to use the Canadian robotic arm
kullanan ikinci ekip,
the size of a school bus
tedarik gemisini yakalamayı sağlıyor,
different experiments
for the next four months.
görebileceğimiz tek çikolata.
every single one of those experiments
o deneylerin her biri,
scientific question answered
cevaplayamayacağımız bir sorunun
to questions like,
cevabını görmenizi sağlıyor:
upside down, right side up --
sa kısmınız havada da olabilir --
in a little ball and floating freely.
küçük bir topa bürünüp serbestçe uçmak.
into an empty supply ship
tedarik gemisine yüklüyoruz
so I made a little video,
o yüzden bir video çektim
helps everything go
we filter it and then we drink it.
filtreden geçiriyor ve içiyoruz.
but actually tastes pretty good.
tadı bayağı güzel şeyler yiyoruz.
the table that's important,
masanın etrafında toplanmak.
uzayda da öyle
a crew together.
to the rest of the world.
bağlantılı kalmanın yolu müzikti.
of human spaceflight.
the whole time I was up there,
ailemle her gün konuştum.
as a way for us just to be together.
oğluma kitaplar bile okudum.
would go over Massachusetts,
üzerinden giderken
sailing across the sky.
izlemeye koyulurlardı.
I couldn't see my house,
that the people I loved the most
en sevdiklerimin yukarıya bakıyor olması
where mission and magic come together.
görev ve büyünün buluştuğu yer.
gitmek için bir araştırma
sustainability here on Earth.
anlamak adına şart.
my family with me,
bana şunu gösterdi ki
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.
