What a great interview Brady. I was there but I couldn't hear what you were saying. I'm always amazed when I hear your questions. You're really talented.
I enjoy Brady's questions very much. He speaks for the audience because there are things I want to question but don't know how to interrogate my thoughts. He does it flawlessly, like an A-class journalist.
Nice one, Brady. Your questions always hit the right note, motivating both the listener/viewer and interviewee to ponder for a bit. Great way to get people truly involved in the conversation.
Good luck Tim! I've just read Chris Hadfield's book, which made me realise how hard it is to get to this position, and how hard everyone works to send these guys into space. Great achievement for everyone involved!
He just completed his Astronaut aspiration, next up Space Ranger! Better start maxing those Fitness and Rocket Science skills. I wonder if he actually makes §119 an hour. Hmmm, how much do astronauts make an hour?
Rem NL canadian astronauts get from 145k to 171k (CAD) a year (what-if.xkcd.com/45/) which is a bit more of what a senior pilot on an airline would get (around 125k)
Green Silver Probably not. peristalsis (the process of pushing food down through youro insides) would prevent the stomach acids from going the wrong way and making you puke. I imagine they bring antacids just in casse howevre
***** They are the solar arrays for the ISS. Their color is largely due to the fact that they are made from printed copper circuitry. P.S. The other panels that are white or gray are not solar panels, they are radiators, to get rid of heat.
I thought I recognised one of Peake's classmates in the bottom left of the photo, and indeed: www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_astronauts_by_year_of_selection#/2009 Only three of the six have actually been to space so far.
It is a shame that so many of the astronauts are in active duty or have some sort of military background. It is quite logic to see the reasoning behind it, but it wouldn't hurt if we would get a bit of a broader perspective from people with different backgrounds.
It appears to me that Tim is acting his part not quite well. It's alright to be smiling and showing signs of being over-excited about getting a top job, but there is a point on the excitement scale for sound-minded people if one passes and still maintains the same level of excitement then it would be highly suspicious. The whole interview is like saying "Hey people, space travelling is not fake".
perokb24 I'm gonna mea culpa that one - I was actually borrowing another lens at the last moment (long story) and made a few set-up errors... I would never have my camera in auto focus while making videos.
You can tell he hasn't been up in space yet, he looks older since he has been on earth moving slowly compared to the guys in the space station. lol kidding, ~ good luck Tim XD
E Hernandez As someone who's doing a phd at the moment, this is spot on. Having a phd doesn't mean you're smart; it just means you know a lot (read: way too much) about some specific topic.
daily8150 Daily workouts when you're up there keep your muscles from degenerating, your bones decrease a bit in density, but that stuff goes back to normal once you're back down on Earth. It's not that bad actually.
DoctorJaska "bones decrease a bit in density". That's perhaps an understatement; Tim will lose roughly 6 to 12% of his bone mass on this mission. This in turn leads to kidney stones and calcification of soft tissues. It'll take a couple of years for Tim to recover from this loss in bone mass. Asthenization after return is another issue to be concerned about with a 6-month mission. And to top it all off, long space missions have been shown to increase risk for alzheimers disease.

MrIamahugefaggot | I couldn't agree more.
Brady, you're the king of great questions!
AlanKey86 thanks Alan - the main questions you get from me are "can you compose more music please!?"
I love that Brady had unique questions! Up with this sort of thing!
Brady is such a great interviewer.
Nice one, Brady. Your questions always hit the right note, motivating both the listener/viewer and interviewee to ponder for a bit. Great way to get people truly involved in the conversation.
this guy (and most astronauts) seem to be such a good person, smart, enthousiastic. la crème de la crème !
Very awesome! We'll all keep track of his mission when he goes!
This interview made me so freaking happy, and so excited for him. Great questions!
I'm so excited for you! (Also so unbelievably envious!) Have an incredible time!
Brady... you never cease to amaze man!
Really great down to earth guy. Good luck in space
Jebediah Kerman!
Congrats Tim! All the best of luck
Please, Brady, let's have more interviews with Tim as he progresses towards his mission!
Excellent, Brady and congrats Tim. Please do a follow up interview when Tim returns. What will Tim's role be on his mission?
Fascinating
this guy gets up to some seriously cool stuff
Great questions, Brady.
the training looks awesome
Ugggh, all of these wonderful videos from JSC and I didn't get to meet you guys!
are you going to do some follow ups as he gets closer to the start of the mission and afterwards?
All of these video's are great
That has to be one of the most exciting, if not THE most exciting, careers.
Good luck Tim!
Godspeed, Tim Peake.
You were in Houston and I was unaware! Ahhh
Good luck Tim! I've just read Chris Hadfield's book, which made me realise how hard it is to get to this position, and how hard everyone works to send these guys into space. Great achievement for everyone involved!
You should interview him after he gets back next year!
Why does the camera distort the width of the red and white stripes on the US flag sometimes, and sometimes not?
More of this cant get enough space stuff on my youtube feed
He just completed his Astronaut aspiration, next up Space Ranger! Better start maxing those Fitness and Rocket Science skills. I wonder if he actually makes §119 an hour. Hmmm, how much do astronauts make an hour?
Minimum wage unless they go on strike.
Riketz at nasa ranging from 64k to 141k a year
Rem NL canadian astronauts get from 145k to 171k (CAD) a year (what-if.xkcd.com/45/) which is a bit more of what a senior pilot on an airline would get (around 125k)
I think astronaut is one of the few jobs you don't do for money ^^
What a positive man
Go for it Tim!
Bizarre question, do astronauts get more acid reflux in micro gravity and is farting a problem in such a small space?
Green Silver Probably not. peristalsis (the process of pushing food down through youro insides) would prevent the stomach acids from going the wrong way and making you puke. I imagine they bring antacids just in casse howevre
Awesome accomplishment ! Good luck ! :D
Top notch questions, wish you were into Starcraft a little, we've had extremely poor interviewers for a long time, you'd do amazing at it I bet!
I guess the interview process for SS goes like - "Hey! I have a story.99% of everybody on the planet has heard it, but let me brag about it anyway!"
why are those panels brown
***** They are the solar arrays for the ISS. Their color is largely due to the fact that they are made from printed copper circuitry.
P.S.
The other panels that are white or gray are not solar panels, they are radiators, to get rid of heat.
he reminded me of James Grime
Slightly off topic - What are all those patches on the Zarya module, and where can I get some? :-)
Scott Baker Presumably mission-patches
Major Tim
Isn't Peake that just flew towards ISS a few days ago?
+Leopoldo Aranha Yes, check out NASA's Channel.
Nikolaos Yup, I did. Very nice.
If it doesn't work out there, maybe Kerbal will hire you.
Awesome :-)
Lucky bugger... bet he worked his guts out for it,,, good on him
Fame at last for Tim Peake -- he's met Brady.
I thought I recognised one of Peake's classmates in the bottom left of the photo, and indeed: www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_astronauts_by_year_of_selection#/2009
Only three of the six have actually been to space so far.
The sixth "Shenanigan" launched from Baikonur in November 2016, and will return to Earth 2nd June 2017 if all goes according to plan.
I envy him so much. SO. SO. much.
It is a shame that so many of the astronauts are in active duty or have some sort of military background. It is quite logic to see the reasoning behind it, but it wouldn't hurt if we would get a bit of a broader perspective from people with different backgrounds.
It is logical to pick an astronaut with military background and why is that???
Stewie Griffin military pilots have different training, and might even have proven to still be able to function properly under great amounts of stress
Not to mention Periodic, Numberphile and the rest.
It appears to me that Tim is acting his part not quite well. It's alright to be smiling and showing signs of being over-excited about getting a top job, but there is a point on the excitement scale for sound-minded people if one passes and still maintains the same level of excitement then it would be highly suspicious.

Let me go grab your foil hat, you're getting paranoid again.
Excellent video but please get that auto-focus in order... It wandering kinda takes away from very interesting interview.
perokb24 I'm gonna mea culpa that one - I was actually borrowing another lens at the last moment (long story) and made a few set-up errors... I would never have my camera in auto focus while making videos.
The next Hadfield? Maybe.
damn that was dreary
Turns out space brothers was real. Except for the brothers part.
If i flew Apaches i wouldnt even care to go to the ISS or be an astronaut.
Yeah, and in space these days you get bombarded with cosmic radiation.
I could never be an astronaut! I am scared of flying in a passenger plane, I don't want to think how id do in a rocket! id probably die of fright!
You can tell he hasn't been up in space yet, he looks older since he has been on earth moving slowly compared to the guys in the space station. lol kidding,
~ good luck Tim XD
We need a word for astronauts before their first mission. Like freshman or something?
Like a slimmer Sean Bean
I wonder how many PhDs Tim has. 20? 30?
Mastikator none? You don't need any. He's a highly trained professional (with emphasis on "trained")
betongitarre
I thought all astronauts were superheroes?
kind of. read "An Astronauts Guide to Life on Earth"
E Hernandez
But having several PhDs does prove you are extremely educated in multiple fields.
E Hernandez As someone who's doing a phd at the moment, this is spot on. Having a phd doesn't mean you're smart; it just means you know a lot (read: way too much) about some specific topic.
My dad used to hit me
wow.
You should have asked, what's it going to be like being away from your wife for 6 months?
behind the scenes of fakery
Doesn't being an astronaut hamper your health badly.
daily8150 Daily workouts when you're up there keep your muscles from degenerating, your bones decrease a bit in density, but that stuff goes back to normal once you're back down on Earth. It's not that bad actually.

Asthenization after return is another issue to be concerned about with a 6-month mission.
And to top it all off, long space missions have been shown to increase risk for alzheimers disease.
