  • So how do you go Ah ha! How do you think? What happened? You're rubbing your head.

Oh, no. Right here is just aching.

It is?

Yeah, I don't know why.

Is it the conversation?

Like my brain is just so excited.

Your brain is so excited?

Yeah.

I've never met an astronaut in my life.

Really?

Yeah, have you ever tried any space food?

Um, no.

What was the strangest thing that happened to you in space?

Just about everything is different.

You see things that you know what they are, but you haven't seen them in that perspective before.

But while your space walking-- which is your question-- what do you do if you go to the bathroom?

You wear diapers.

What do you think of that?

Just like when we were babies.

Adults are babies?

Adults are babies now.

Like if you're trying to fix something, did you ever let go of it and it flew off?

What do you think we could do to try to prevent this from happening?

Glue your hand to it?

What's your favorite food on earth?

Pizza.

Pizza?

Yeah, that's the one thing we can't get in space when I was flying.

But now, for the first time, you can even eat pizza in space.

How did you become an astronaut?

Well, you have to apply to become an astronaut.

Astronaut schools?

And then I had to go to astronaut school.

And I applied and I got rejected three times.

Took me 10 years.

When I grow up, I actually want to be an engineer.

And I heard you're one.

So can you give me some tips on some things?

Just to keep your curiosity going about things, and learn as much as you can.

And it's going to get harder and harder, so just keep at it.
