- What does it take to be an astronaut? On this episode of StarTalk: Sports Edition, Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Gary O’Reilly and Chuck Nice break down the physical effects of being in space and the results of the astronaut twins study with guests astronaut Scott Kelly and biophysicist Chris Mason.
We dive into the training and tests astronauts have to go through for the selection process with Scott Kelly. How does your body feel when it's in space? What changes? How does it feel to be up there for a year? We explore the logistics of the astronaut twins study that compared Scott Kelly’s time in space with his twin brother Senator Mark Kelly’s identical time here on Earth. Discover how Scott’s genome changed in comparison to his brother’s and what he has in common with Japanese space worms.
Next, we sit down with Chris Mason, the lead doctor on the study, to talk about what they discovered about how earth life reacts to being in zero gravity. What sort of damage happens to our chromosomes in space, if any? Are there downstream generation effects of trauma? How do you construct a study like this? What specifically were they looking for? Find out how much data was collected, the microbiome of the International Space Station, and how they did gene sequencing space. What were some of the results of the study? Could humans be engineered to be better equipped for long-term space travel?
You’ll learn what COVID-19 patients have in common with astronauts returning to Earth and what effects returning to 1G has on the body. Will space travel ever be comfortable for humans? In 500 years are we going to look back on our discoveries from now as being a bit basic? All that, plus we discuss extinction and our duty as humans to combat it, the ethics of generational spaceships, and the concept of storing fertilized eggs on the moon.
Check out Scott Kelly’s book Endurance: A Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discovery and Chris Mason’s book The Next 500 Years.

Chuck was on fire today! Was a really fantastic episode, would be great having Dr. Mason back on the show.
My goodness! Chuck has been doing this long enough, & so, has learned so much-that NOW!-he's asking more REAL questions than I ever expected!!! He's almost hosting at several points! GO CHUCK!!!
Chuck has been asking great questions for quite a while. He's actually a really intelligent person, he just doesn't have the advanced education of Dr. Degrasse-Tyson.
The cliche coment for likes
@andrewolson5471 not a hyphenated name... Jussayin
“Mouse Brothel” Chuck is THE MAN! This man deserves his own Netflix show 😂😂
I haven't laughed so hard and learned so much at the same time, ever in my life. Amazing episode!
They really do complement each other.
I did not understand anything that was discussed here, yet was fascinated from start to finish. That's what StarTalk can do! I will keep looking up...
Use google
Did anyone else think about Enders Game when they discussed sports in low to 0 G? Because I think that would be absolutely brilliant.
This is one of my favorites!
What a great episode! Dr. Mason needs to return!
I saw in the notification "Astronaut Sc..." and my finger clicked out of instinct
This podcast is amazing. Thank you for the smiles today. 😄
I was laughing way more than, I should have, amazing guests
I didn't know this podcast exists. I'm so happy right now!
There are some fascinating animation videos on YT that show epigenetics, DNA, RNA, motor proteins, etc. Seeing what is happening helped me understand it more.
There's a lot more out there than there used to be for learning molecular biology, that's for sure. Cellular visualizations in videos show way more than could be illustrated in the past. I think it's helpful for learning biology whether you're a beginner, or a PhD. Our proteins really are molecular machines with intricate workings.
I got to meet Scott Kelly when I was in 4th grade back in 1999. He came to our school and gave a talk about being an astronaut and space stuff. It was really cool
So if Scott could acctualy calculate the distance from where he threw the football to the where the other person caught it, and then factored in the distance the ISS travelled, it would set the record for the longest known reception!
Wonderful episode. Learned a lot. Amazing people, Dr. Mason and Scott Kelly and of course the incomparable Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Why doesn't this have a million views?
Probably because it just came out. :D
Tell that to Event Horizon
Because it is "science"!
It scares a lot of people who wanna avoid "THE TRUTH" and would rather just exist.
Laughing and learning at the same time
Excellent!
Imagine being an astronaut, what a goal
Imagine being Gary. Even better
@@David-ne2wx Ben Shapiro hates Imagine
I imagined being one. I achieved the goal!!!
I'm a astronaut
One of the most badass jobs out there... Literally
Chuck Nice is a national treasure y'all. "Do you make a little mouse brothel?". I love science you guys, but this man makes the show most days.
Love that movie! Seen it twice! Gatica
A astronaut and a brilliant Dr. Great podcast !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this show!👏👏 So great to get to laugh and learn.💯
I saw this guy on The Joe Rogan Experience and it was an amazing podcast. This dude has lived
What a fascinating episode. Professor Mason is a treasure trove of information. His last comment about making humans 80% better at resisting radiation from Tartagrade is the stuff of Marvel (DC)! All the hosts were mesmerised. Fascinating. Mind blown.
The next 500 years is most definitely on my list to buy. I love this show!
So Chuck wants to call for help after just listening to Scott Kelly talk about the claustrophobia tests 🤣🤣
i loved Scott Kelly and Dr Chris Mason amazing
Thanks for another great show guy's. I enjoyed you all...
That Dr looks so incredibly young, I'm blown away
AMAZING EPISODE!!!
I adore this show, love learning! And I have the BIGGEST CRUSH on Gary. ❤⭐
You need a PART 2 to continue the last conversation, very interesting!
Still getting over the fact double any number is always even...
I heard that and it messed me up for a minute while I was driving. Like my whole world just stopped for as bit while I thought about that. lol
I second that motion !
Me too lol until I realised a second later that, of course .... you can’t half an odd number without getting a .5 LOL ‘derrrr
:)
Get over it lol...
We love your episodes. You're a leader and inspiration. You can run our world, thank you.
I been watching you for years. But this one made me happy thanks guys I love all of you keep on learning
So you’re implying that for years they’ve made you sad.
@@mavfan1 sure
I dream of being an Astronaut, life among the stars... but I will have to settle for the mere title of Pilot.
Awesome episode it would be great if we could have an entire episode on *BIOHACKING*, Dr. Mason kept saying safely and carefully at the end and I might be wrong but could it be it was to prevent anyone from attempting things at home (Maybe?), I still think it would be interesting to go deep into this topic, the ethics around it and it's future, thanks again awesome episode!!!.
This show was awesome
Dr. Tyson please bring Prof. Mason back. Thank you.
Dr. Chris Mason was a brilliant and entertaining guest. (..."a butterfly that tastes like barbecue sauce") and I hope you'll have him back. Really great!
Great episode! Amazing guests.
I know who about the time experiment..
Yay!!
Im 'in the loop'
been waiting for this after watching sneak peek on Instagram
#VR GAMES
Real quick, I just have to correct the use of the word "adapt." Adaptation is an evolutionary change over generations, while acclimation is the proper term for changes in physiology that occur from changing environments in ones lifetime, or "acclimation to a new environment." Root word: climate.
I'm in Chile trying as much as I can to get to work in any observatory but in anything, even cleaning might work for me, even when I'm electronic engineer with some optics training in Carl Zeiss (Germany), this subjects really are interesting
Who could possibly dislike this?
Ok, Niel, I been a looooong time fan of yours.
Chuck Nice is killing it more then Niel in these shows!
Hello Commander Scott Kelly
I said hello to you today
😂👍 I kept in touch with you by Twitter the footprints 👣 of my grandson Walter became a like. The 50’th
Anniversary commemorative Apollo Lander coin 🪙
Was a success. I shared the concept and I am expressing gratitude Godspeed sincerely
From Larry Whittington (AKA)
Buddy.
Scott was definitely the right stuff, I admire a guy who competes against himself and maybe with his Identical twin brother, pushing his Mind and Body to the limit. I wish I had his perfect Hair Line lol...
"Also knowns as the US Senate" That had me dying
43:10 BUSTED! Dr. Mason definitely said Scott said his bones felt like they were melting…and now we know they interviewed Dr. Mason before Scott for this episode and edited it the other way around.
Please make one of these explainers on The LHC .......please
I like the idea that we are the garidans of life on Earth!
Chris seems like the greatest guy.
You guys are patronizing Chuck a lil bit, I bet he's much smarter than most of us.
Chuck Nice FTW with Mouse Pimps. OMG I laughed so hard.
Having a sample is a million times better than a well described one.
It obviously much better to have both.
This is with reference to Chucks question and the digital storing of genetic code of species.
Information storage has a problem of being not understood or lost.
Sooooo the panel just skipped over the fact that @ 7:15 - Gary states that Dr. Mason quoted Scott as saying he felt like his bones were melting & Scott denies ever saying that & also said he doubts Dr. Mason would never say that. Then @ 43:09 - Dr. Mason clearly says Scott said in his book that he felt like his bones were dissolving.
Dr. Tyson actually corrected Dr. Mason about there not being a "down" in space over something Scott just denied ever saying a few minutes prior.
Edit - Unless the segment with Dr. Mason was recorded before the segment with Scott Kelly, but the order of appearance was changed in the editing room.
Great video ✌️💯✔️
Ender's Game....there's your space sports.edit...just an awesome episode.
It’s getting wild 😂
You should have Dr. Mason again.
Yes!
Amazing
Arm wrestling in space 💪
48:44 reminds me of the movie The Island.
wait soo did Scott kelly say that catch phrase of the dissolving bones or he didn't
he didn't
He said, a loss of 1percent/month of bone mass. They kept up with resistance exercises to combat bone mass loss
I’ve pondered this question for the last 7 years: Is the double slit experiment fundamentally flawed? Isn’t the detection device used to measure the wave causing the interference? To clarify not the observation, but the function of the detector itself? I had a physics teacher tell me once that they use a laser to detect in the experiment and that because the detector uses a laser that the interference is obviously caused by the collision of the perpendicular waves. I know that the original experiment was considered flawed because of material reflection, but later renditions took this into account, and our modern versions can replicate the results with the sequential release of individual electrons rather than a generic laser and yet still produces the same interference pattern even when we have better materials that prevent reflective interference. But even modern experiments still use detectors that fire particles to measure the experiment. It makes me wonder how accurate the experiment actually is.
Have a Great evening Greg 🙂👍
About that sports stuff. Dance movements in space open new possibilities. Jeanne Robinson was the earliest Choreographer, along with a dancer, I know of to get into zero-G planes. She is the wife of SF author Spider Robeson, who with massive contributions by Jeanne, wrote _Stardance_. Lots more can be found on "the internet" these days.
Space Beer Pong 😎🤙
I have so many questions that I would love to ask them
pls make noise for #VR games for space
The only time claustrophobia effects me is if my movements are restricted but I mess up and try to move something.
Most times I can control the desire to move that which is restricted. Only not enough to qualify me for a space suit.
I'd be fine in a Mercury capsule because my extremities can have movement. But so much as being handcuffed (I used to make dumb choices as a young teen) and all bets are off.
No one's business but my birth giver thought that tying me up in the bathroom as a toddler so that she can go bar hopping was the thing to do. An aunt came over, heard my screaming through the door, entered and found me, hands and feet tied together, as well as tied to the drain trap under the bathroom sink.
No memories of it, but it seems to have effected me on some level.
Tardigrades and enhancing human genome to make us able to withstand space or other planets... It sounds a lot like a great sci fi book (trilogy, actually), Proxima Rising. If you enjoyed this topic and like reading sci fi I highly recommend it.
Blitzball from Final Fantasy would require very little modification to work. Some leg/arm mounted propulsion and a ball that can be launched at a speed that makes the game interesting. Could totally work. The biggest challenge with many space sports is really the amount of space it would require to be interesting.
Maybe we could bring some sort of special net into space that is the size of a football field in all dimensions and put that not in the station but in actual space. That way you could do sports outside of the station in a safety bubble. Don't think that would even require super crazy high tech stuff to make it work.
His brother is sitting proudly into that seat.
I’ve always been intrigued by space exploration and wished I had education to work with nasa but I never actually wanted to go to space bc I don’t enjoy roller coasters at all🥴😂
Wondering if you guys can talk about the recent first image of the “cosmic web” I just saw it on FB and want to know if it’s even real? if so, can your knowledge gives us more of an insight to something so fascinating.
Omfg 6 minutes i keep getting closeeerrrrrr. I love you guys!!! Youre beautiful people! Keep up the amazing work!
@26:00: Audrey Hepburn suffered from starvation during WWII, and while she "recovered", she ended up dying decades later from stomach cancer that was the result of that long-lasting physical trauma.
"Yeah. You'd probably drown." hahaha
Yes❤️
29:45 I don’t think of them as stowaways; I call them my symbionts.
Seems like a point to point race could translate into space. Maybe similar to swimming or rock climbing?
I have a question,
Can we make something, if we wear it than we can pass through the gap between the atoms e.g. wall , is this possible
@@Personal-rc7cy yeah nice theory thanks for replying
Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson, I would recommend you to watch a time travel series in netflix or smth. The name of the time travel series, is “Dark” I think it is very accurate, and disproves the Stephen hawking’s concern about the grandfather paradox. I really hope you see this message. 😀😀
I love dark but the show doesnt dissapprove anything
@@MoviesAndTvShowsAreSubjective only not logical thing was the 2 worlds thing, but time travel was as real as ever
Here's a zero-G sport idea:
Air hockey but instead of 2D on a table, it's 3D in a large rectangular room.
What if space is expanding due to an hourglass. Like the light reflects and forms a small circle if pointed at the centre of hourglass, and at another end it condenses and then expands again
I'm wondering if they have the pressure and oxygen levels correct to maintain oxidization levels of the calcium carbonate in bones and egg shells or sea shells even...
[Disclaimer] Not all Astronauts are made for TV (PR).
I actually like this episode , don't think I would. Dr Tyson can make anything interesting.
There's an actual astronaut in this episode. Why would you NOT like it?!?!
And just so you know, an astronaut goes into space. lol
Will the James Webb Telescope Launch in October or will it be delayed again.
space athletics? um what about ultimate ninja warrior in space?
He commanded the ISS? Thats basically like saying he was the first Earth Spaceship Captain! What a legend.
Next experiment in space will be using the newly developed artificial wombs. Curious if spinning would be necessary for the embryo to not stick to the sides of the containers?
Pleasent to see our educators are getting better.
Still not the plot of the story. Don't forget it, this time.
There is down in space...down to the surface of any planet.
Quidditch in space!!!
