- Expedition 26 NASA Flight Engineer Cady Coleman discusses what daily life is like aboard an orbiting space laboratory on CBS' news program "The Talk" on January 18, 2011.
they're asking her a bunch of family questions. I would be much more interested in her research.
alhfgsp me too i am disappointed :(
darkrainbowwOrrier Can you PLEASE go get a life that doesn't include anime and conspiracy theories.
***** Those points deserved to be better explained by her.
+groovANDsooth Another fanatic paranoid
+alhfgsp It's crazy, shes a serious women being interviewed by idiots about nonsense. totally agreed!
*Has chance to ask any question to an actual astronaut that is currently orbiting the atmosphere*
*Asks how her kids are doing*
+Coopa Jay Two words : Stereotype women.
+Coopa Jay She did say "I am not smart"
+Coopa Jay How do you sweep the floor and wash the dishes in space?
I've watched so many space videos, I got up and thought I would float to the kitchen
"Hey Im doing alot of really cool space stuff in space, would anyone like to hear about that?"
"No, we just want to hear about what its like to be a housewife in space. How are your children? Is it hard for your husband to take care of your children? Have you heard of this beauty treatment to fix that frizzy hair of yours?"
"Godammit."
+InuMiroLover In fairness, it's the nature of that particular show it was broadcasted on to talk about that stuff. Just look at other NASA stuff and you'll see their real work (and interesting talks.)
This poor woman has studied, toiled and probably sacrificed a significant amount of her personal life to achieve the amazing status of an astronaut, and all this interviewer can do is ask her if she thinks her husband is coping with her kids. Would they ask a male astronaut that I wonder?
good point
Tis a follow-through from asking about her son, so most likely yes.
Either way its a bit of a wasted opportunity. I can think of better things to ask an astronaut than about their domestic arrangements.
AndyPips
emotional insight is more catered to their audience than the rigors of research
Fair enough, I can see how that's important. She does seem keen to answer questions about her research however, and I don't believe I have seen an occasion when they ask the male astronauts these questions. I may be wrong.
How many times have you had the dream where you are falling and hit the ground, but wake up and flip tf out because there's no gravity?
I have to agree with most of the commenters on this page and ask why the hell were the questions so limited? I would have asked her, _"where does that extra water droplet go that you didn't suck up? Isn't it dangerous to have floating water droplets around the technology?"_
izukrazyfoo And after evaporating the air conditioning system circulates it and recycles it to be used as drinking water.
It condensates and goes back into use-able drinking water
what I said :)
Bartolomeo Vanzetti
Please leave with your lunacy.
***** lol at the second part
I'm so glad that other people have mentioned how pointless their questions were. There really is so much to learn from this incredible woman, and nearly all of their questions were about silly, personal things.
Such stupid questions, she's super intelligent and in SPACE for goodness sake, ask her about something interesting! Just because she is a girl, she has to answer these husband/children questions... I'm glad she answered "I don't really miss anything yet, I'm so glad to be here", without having to enter the perfect mom role. I don't think those people down at the earth understands how it feels when you're really, really interested in something and get to experience such a huge thing within that area. Being a mom wouldn't exactly be my first priority in space, just like being a father shouldn't be. Oh well, luckily things are slowly changing for the better :)
Agree!
Look at the description. This interview was conducted by hosts of 'The Talk'. If you put it into the proper context, then you'd understand the subject of the questions. If you have a problem with those conducting the interview putting her in the 'mom role', then your problem is with the WOMEN conducting the interview for their AUDIENCE of WOMEN. In other words, it's not just the men of the world's view you need to change if you want this sort of 'role setting' to stop. Women are just as guilty.
All that being said. It's not as if EVERY interview goes this way. The vast majority of the interviews that are performed by people who are actually interested in the science go the way you would want them to. They just may or may not make their way to UA-cam. It's not unreasonable to assume (and be ok with) someone asking these types of questions, and the hosts of 'The Talk' would certainly be the ones to ask such questions. The hosts of 'The Talk' don't strike me as those who would be interested in the Delta-V requirements for their next orbital boost burn, so kudos to them for not pretending to be interested (this observation is NOT based on the fact that they are women, but based on their past subjects of discussion - you can certainly counter this if you can show where I am mistaken). There was nothing wrong with the line of questioning.
Willoughby Krenzteinburg I never said that it was only men's fault, that's just something you assumed. Just as there are strong men fighting for women's rights, there are women who pull us back. I love men, don't use that "feminists hates all men!"-thing, because that is a flat out lie used to make feminists look like the bad guys, when they are simply just working for both sexes - we should all have the same rights :)
And of course I know not every interview is like that, but it doesn't change the fact that these kinds of interviews are stupidifying. You don't need to use intimidation techniques to get your point across (" If you put it into the proper context, THEN YOU'D UNDERSTAND the subject of the questions.").
So I still strongly disagree with you, and there are absolutely no reasons why a show should ask questions like this no matter how "unserious". I think one of the reasons why I react to this, is that I'm brought up in Norway. And this would never have happened here. It would probably have been in the news the next day: "Show hosts kept asking the astronaut about his/her role as a father/mother! - Tv channel bombarded with mail from dissapointed viewers." And people would laugh at the show. It would lose all credibility.
Maybe you're not seeing it the way I'm seeing it, you're not seeing how small things like this pushes the development back little by little, and everything takes much longer. And maybe I don't understand how she (as an American) is feeling, at least I know I would be pretty annoyed by this :)
TheVildee
I fail to see how this is in any way a gender issue. Yes she's a scientist, but *guess what?!* She's a mother as well.
Perhaps it's a cultural thing, but I'd love it if people were interested in how I keep in contact with my wife and children, it would make the voyage feel less lonely and it could connect with people on an emotional level.
So perhaps There is a video out there where your social justice crusade is relevant, but this isn't one of them.
Helvetica Neue Do you think a man would get the same questions about his wife and kids? Just as many questions? No, and that's why it is a problem.
What a waste of an opportunity to learn something interesting from this intelligent woman.
what the hell are you talking about? are you trying to sound over-inteligent? they talked about a person's daily routines, behaviour and emotions during a space mission. something the majority of people dont know because they never been "up there". Personally, i found it very interesting and fascinating to know that on space your bones get decalcified way faster because you cant walk. Plus, a person that has to stay cloistered in a space ship during 6 months with her family on earth probably prefers to have a more casual chit chat rather than going into details and explaining what they have been researching there (or whatever you wanted her to teach us)... if you dont find anything interesting in this well... too bad
She is a scientist, she is more than a mother, she is a person that was that passionate about something she went to space for it. Went through the all the tests and completed them. I am not trying to sound over intelligent i am simply seeking something that is a lot less mediocre than the questions that they just asked a freaking astronaut! Of course she going to miss her kids! Of course she going miss the husband! She shows you a project she working on and the best they give you is a oooh science thats pretty and then straight back to the oh how are the kids coping, trying to elicit an emotional response from her.
All I'm saying is i would have like to have seen more of her work and less of her personal life because that is what i find inspiring.
Yeah73415 Met her IRL. She really is a fascinating person. She spent like 5 minutes talking about personal stuff and spent about an hour talking about science. Note, this was at a NASA facility in Cleveland, so she didn't have to dumb it down.
I'm jealous. that would have been really cool
mindless, annoying, and childish questions. I expect nothing less from the television.
The Interviewers were dreadful, "why do you guys do, stare out windows?" How stupid.
Wow.... What a waste of a space station interview....
I mean really. You have the opportunity to ask this incredibly motivated, intelligent who is currently conducting research beyond any scientist's wildest dreams in SPACE and this chick asks things like "What do you miss about earth"
REALLY.
It's also kinda funny to hear that question considering that she's on average only about 422 kilometers away from Earth. It's not a very long distance if you think about it.
Yes. Or "Gee whiz what is your husband doing? How can he do it without you?! Is it even possible?!" Frick DUH yes. This woman is cool, but he's probably LOVING the lack of nagging or INCREDIBLY BORING stories about shoes or what some other woman said. Course her work stories would actually be interesting...
true
I had to roll my eyes in every of those questions and I was like "Really?!"
Do men get asked these same questions?
i could stare at her necklace for days...
HAHAHAHAHA same!!!
For the first half of the interview, at least, they sure did ask the most demeaning questions possible.
God "The Talk" sucks. I wish they got a legitimate group to talk to her. Good on her though for keeping in touch. can't wait for the day where we all get the chance to be in space.
like really shes in space. "how do you feel about your husband taking care of your wife duties."
"well first off, thanks for insulting me saying how we sit around and do nothing. but yea let me tell you this over coffee and avoiding your rude comments"
I want to know the important questions, like if you fart, does it just stay there?
very good question
great question even better answer :D
I remember someone saying that all the smells they have up there stays for quite some time. I think it was the famous canadian that got the question: "Do you paint in space?" and Chris responded that the strong smell from the paint would be bad due to the fact that they all live in a very closed off area. So... farts would be pretty bad lol.
***** Of course, but the smell would stay anyways for some reason I suppose.
***** Watch the video where Chris explains it. I get the feeling that he can explain this better than me, lol.
One of the best things I've ever done in my life is to stop watching television; I haven't owned or watched television for about 20 years now, It has allowed me to find myself as an individual and freed me from external influences that do not reflect true reality. !'m so pleased!

Yeah I've looked into most religions/philosophies including Krishna Consciousness but find them unappealing. I prefer to use the words, true love and despair as these are more meaningful phrases to each and everyone one of us. Oh and more identifiable.
Peter Peterson True love towards almighty God is the most important. When you love truly to the God you will find it appealing.We are just souls riding this journey called LIFE. Hare Krishna.
yogesh85d
You've nearly got it right.
Bartolomeo Vanzetti
Thanks for commenting. I reckon you value your time more now than when you watched TV. I do. I think everyone should get rid of their TV.
"Do you have a chef up there?" Fucking seriously?
The fact that it took almost 11 minutes to get to the actual science of what they're doing on the ISS in this entire 17-minute sequence is ridiculous. I'm actually astonished they didn't wind up asking her how she did her hair in space, that would fit right in with this bullshit line of questioning.
I thought this was gonna be a "Get Ready With Me (NASA Edition)" where we got to see them trying to get ready in zero Gs and have things float away and stuff. But it was just a weird off topic interview. :/
These questions are terrible Dx
Don't expect someone who works at Home Depot to be a big thinker on questions!
i thought she was going to ask how she can make a sandwich for her husband in space. :/
man, what a waste of an opportunity form an epic girl like her!
These astronauts make me so proud. They risk so much going up there. Not only for the danger of lift off/landing, but because of all the health risks they face. Like how she mentioned the bone loss, and the Canadian astronaut said it messes with your eyeballs as well. All in the name of science and bettering life for us. Bless them!
I wish this interview was done by Ellen..
I'm always struck by how cool and incredibly pleasant these astronauts are. They are top scholars and technicians and yet just plain likeable folks.
16:55
You can hear see and hear it in her voice. It got to her.
As magical as it is in space, she was fighting back tears to be with her kind again.
This interview with Cady Coleman is inspiring, simply considering the bravery and the hard work to reach this adventure in space. Cady Coleman, you are awesome!
OMG That hairstyle *Defies Gravity* - Literally. How fabulous! XD
Frankly, most of these questions are quite dumb. While I absolute LOVE the idea of interviewing someone in space (and love the way she moves around out there, dang), wouldn't it be better asking her about relevant SPACE stuff? I mean really, more than half of these question could be asked to ANYONE who's working in a different country, away from their families. "How is it being away from your son"... I mean sure, it's a serious question, but I want to know about how the people up there tackle the space-stuff problems, not their Earth-problems. It might just be me. Great job of the woman in space to try and direct every question in the way of something space-related though!
Exactly!
I THINK CADY WAS A PRETTY GRACIOUS HOSTESS DURING THIS INTERVIEW, GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF SENSELESSLY STUPID AND BORING QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED BY THE OTHER WOMEN!
The question's they're asking are really bad..
Awesome answers to some horrible questions. I'm impressed with how well Astronaut Cady Coleman dealt with them.
First off, her necklace, in every video where they are in space with some form of necklace, it just puts me into a trance. I can't stop looking at it.
Second. Her honesty, I love it. I wish I seen more of if. I am tired of being one of the only people that will say the truth despite what damage it might or might not do.
The most amazing thing about these interviews with astronauts as how polite they are when they are asked the same stupid questions over and over again.
since they are close to the satellites, does that mean that they have the absolute best WiFi ever?
What do u think dumbass
If it's on the internet they wouldn't get connection, no because the satellites only work when they feed the information back to earth for it to be used. So no it wouldn't work☺️😋
She is really cute and it's inspiring to see a woman, especially a mom, who has a passion for something so extraordinary.
Thank you for doing what you do. I'm so sad about the space program but it will all be worth it in the end. Good luck to you all. Our heroes!!
Wow, as many other commenters have already stated: what a waste of time. Coleman seems to be very knowledgeable and do all kind of interesting stuff. I'm not the slightest interested in what her husband has to do when she's at the ISS. Wonder what kind of questions the interviewer would've asked if Coleman was a man, probably not about family. Embarrassing interview...
I love how the talk show host keeps asking stupid questions that you could ask anyone, and how Ms. Coleman on the space-craft doesn't take that nonsense, and actually makes appropriate use of the time to educate the world
But she handled it beautifully! She said she looked forward to having coffee with girlfriends. It is about ALL of it. The experience of being without her family is significant as are all the experiments and everything else.
I have always dreamed to go to space and Katy really inspires me you just can't never give up always try your best no matter how hard live pushes you
It is so funny how some people seriously thinks that NASA fakes being on board ISS. One question for you: Why haven't all the other space agency's come forward confirming your suspicions? Humm :)
Or a better question, why is it being faked? All these conspiracy theorists seem to come up with all these explanations as to HOW it's being faked but I haven't seen anyone give a reason as to WHY (of course I've only seen 2 or 3 people who think it's fake so maybe I just haven't dug deep enough). At least with moon landing theories they give a reason for faking it.
Bad question this astronaute is in an other realm we all respect everybody but we should even more respect these people in space on ISS this is the future so respect!
"We have a Russian module, European module, American module and the Canadians built the arm" ...Canadians with the largest contribution
The arm allows the docking of supply craft with incredible accuracy, so yeah, it's a pretty big deal if you don't want to die from starvation, or lack of water.
this is incredible ! you can even communicate all the way to space this is such advanced technology, space is amazing
Cheers to this lady. Hats off to all those involved in R and d in space!
What are these fuckin questions? are you kiidng me i feel bad for this amazing women who is in space and has to professionally feed into this bullshit,
That zero gravity hair is epic
This interview was one that should have been saved for someone with more intellect than the cackling hens on "the talk". I'm sure Cady has so many interesting experiences to share, and a lot of these questions were their typical small talk for an actor who comes on the show every time they put out a new movie.
Her hairs are the perfect example of Dragon Ball Z kind hairstyle
So inspiring! Every word she said just made me feel like I had a chance to one day become an astronaut until she said math and science and I was like.. Oh right you need a brain to be an astronaut. Well my dreams are crushed! *Smiling on the outside, crying on the inside*
who would actually dislike something like this?
I thought they were gonna ask her how many times has she cried about being away from home! Geez.
agreed. they seemed to care more about her family than the stuff that she is doing
wowww....amazing woman and her life.... love what you've done out of space cathy
Who has to feed the alien and how did you get rid of Hal 9000?
Osteoporosis research is brilliant. I want to know more. Their experiments, findings...
She is so likable! This is neat.
I'd love to see these guys react to being in space for the first time. Do any of them just spin around and just get happy about it like a kid?
I am impressed how in good shape these astronauts are.
Why does she fling water around when there are laptops and other life-critical equipment around?
"What daddy duties has your husband had to take up since you're on a sixth month mission?" After that stupidity, that woman should not ask anymore questions.
They chose the wrong interviewer.
Questions about being a mother. Yes, being a mother is the best quality of hers that we could possibly find to speak about.
The delay is hilarious!:D
touching anything slightly will cause you to move. even the smallest force causes motion when there's nothing to resist it.
Why are they asking personal questions
Interesting on how they are asking personal questions. Maybe lack of understanding what to ask. Like I would ask this. Why is your not down and the same about your neckless and how does your sense of know gravity feel or something.
To all of the people asking why the interviewer had such low-level questions... This was for a daytime talk show for WOMEN; anything more technical than this would have been totally lost on the audience.
Amin Hassan I didn't say anything about the astronaut woman. My comment was directed at the boobs who called her and all the hens in their audience. Most women are not technically-minded, especially the kind that watch day time talk shows. That is why the questions were so retarded.
HeartlandRanchTV So most women are not technically-minded? What is this flight engineer? A miracle of mutations? A man in a woman's costume? I now what you mean when you talk about talk shows, they are stupid, but please don't just go ahead and make unfounded statements like that. Men and women are the same, yeah, most of the times, one of them has a penis and the other one a vagina but does that really means they have different brain capability?
Pompeianella D. Wow. HeartlandRanchTV already did a disclaimer that it is most women of the type of audience that watches daytime women's talk shows. Just watch some of them. They're vapid.
Of course women are just as capable as men intellectually. It's only an element of culture than many women either don't push themselves or aren't interested in pursuing technical fields, but that is rapidly changing. I've worked with plenty of female engineers, met a female fighter pilot, and other female Air Force pilots, so there are plenty of women in technical fields, but they're not the audience of whatever show this is.
+Daniela Rueda
Read the comment. He's not talking about women, he's talking about the people who watch the talk show which is geared toward women. A man who watches it would likely by just as stupid as a woman who watches it.
+Daniela Rueda Well, yes. Scientifically, women are less engaged in the advancement of man kind and are therefor, less engaged in advanced careers.
This is simple biological differences between men and women. Men tend to be more goal oriented and career driven, while women tend to want to nurter children which leads them to be housewives, nurses, and teachers.
Of course there are many exceptions to this rule, but the majority follow it. i believe ALL people should be able to do ANY job but we need to understand that a show that is targeted to a certain audience is going to cater to the majority of beliefs.
I've been watching too many space videos... I was holding an almond and I let it go in front of my face because I wanted to grab it with my mouth while it was...'floating'. -_-
The necklace moves in every which direction in zero gravity yet her hair goes straight up no matter what? Okay.
She does have gel in her hair so it doesnt fly everywhere
we don't spend ENOUGH money on manned space ! Always supportive of any effort to leave this planet and go beyond the confines of our planet. great video.
I wanna go space :(
This woman is the boss of the bosses!
And one of the first lessons the women learn when living in zero-g is that long hair becomes stiff and just slightly springy.
Im having a nervous breakdown just watching her and knowing shes in space. No way I could do that and be that calm XD
"She's a NASA astronaut and a mother of two"...as if those two are equal achievments. -__- At least the interviewer admits she's "not a smart person".
Yeah, that lady is so correct. Lets not learn about interesting stuff in regards to the types of experiments they are doing in space, but, lets learn about how they get up and other things they do in a normal day. Lady, if you would of just searched the net, you would of been able to find the answer to that question and many more. But, then again, enquiring minds would like to know how that lady got her job if she admitted that she is not the brightest, because that is something I would want the whole world to know
They're not in Zero G. They're just falling at orbital velocity.
I'm glad to see quite a number of comments on this (as in: I'm not alone in being bothered by those question). This reminds me of Yvonne Brill's obituary.
Why on Earth would one dislike this video? Wait... space. STILL! WHY??
inside space station it is a cozy 22 celcius. Outside, it depends. It can go from -100 to 200 celcius.
They help everyday life
I fell that "up" and "down" would have no use in deep space, but would have use in orbit, because "up" would be away from whatever planet you are orbiting, and "down" the opposite.
Wow, this is so incredibly inspiring!!!
nope. the corridors are lined on all sides with experiments, equipment, storage, and stuff like that. you can float out of one of the bathrooms, turn upside down, do the leg press machine. then from there you turn upside down again and drift up to the cupola where they can see earth and control robotic arms outside the station.
it isnt uncommon to see two people working in the same section who are oriented oppositely. one being right side up and one upside down. up/down becomes relative.
ASK HER COOLQUESTIONS!!! not just becaus ehse is a woman. Did a man write these questions?
Definitely. Thanks to her the interview came out really well, despite an embarrassing beginning on the show host part.
How are astronauts protected from cosmic rays and gamma particles?
***** go fuck yourself you idiot.
***** Explain the water?
***** umm, what wires? The ones that aren't attached to her? CGI on a livestream? You're ridiculous. You'll never be convinced so I'll just say this: Shut up conspiracy theorist.
***** That is exactly how water reacts in space and how the reflection shows in space, do some research kid.
***** Pretty obvious troll who probably thinks that the moon landing is fake
Calvin & Hobbes
what would happen if you made babies in outerspace? how would that affect the body and senses of a baby, will they be no different if they survive at all??
It will be very deformed.
Based on what do you say that? Please explain 'why' in further detail as I'm really curious.
lorenzo501 because the baby would be subjected to zero gravity. This would not allow for his muscles to strengthen through resistance, and his bone density would be far less than normal. These two factors alone would severely stunt the biological development of a child.
I just posted Commander Williams' tour of the orbital lab on my Facebook earlier this week! I'm glad you agree with me on the ridiculousness of the tv anchor's questions! Have a great weekend!
i wonder what pings they got on those connections
Wow, her answer to "what are you going to do first when you get back to earth" was really good. I was thinking like .. "a big cheeseburger" or something, but I'd actually miss the scent of nature, wind and all what she said... Weird how we take that all for granted, but I'd still miss all of it.
Is there wifi on the iss
Yes, as of 2008. Sorry for the late post.
that was brilliant. An amazing woman. ty for posting.
What about dihorria
lol what about it
Is anybody else really frustrated that they literally asked her two questions that had nothing to do with the fact that she's a mom (besides the question about her commander's feelings)? She's an astronaut!
