Transcript: Q & A - What Does Earth Look Like From Space?
In animation, letters Q and A appear as a domino run set.
The name of the show reads "Q and A. Questions and Answers."
Lucas stands in the set of "The Space."
Lucas is in his twenties, with short puffy brown hair and wears a blue TVO Kids T-shirt and a blue and gray hoodie.
He says HEY, TVO KIDS.
YOU GUYS HAVE QUESTIONS?
OH MAN,
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
WELL, YOU'RE IN LUCK,
BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ANSWERS.
THAT'S RIGHT,
IT'S IMPORTANT TO ASK QUESTIONS,
TO LEARN THINGS,
SO LET'S CHECK OUT A QUESTION
FROM A TVO KID.
THIS IS WAJI,
AGE 7, FROM AJAX,
WANTS TO KNOW, "WHAT DOES EARTH
LOOK LIKE FROM SPACE?"
A VERY VALID QUESTION.
I DON'T KNOW
WHO MIGHT KNOW THAT.
ACTUALLY, I DO.
SOMEONE LIKE AN ASTRONAUT
MIGHT KNOW WHAT EARTH
WOULD LOOK LIKE FROM SPACE.
LET'S CHECK OUT
AND SEE WHAT THAT ANSWER IS.
A clip rolls with a caption that reads "Doctor Dave Williams. Astronaut."
Doctor Dave is in his fifties, clean-shaven and with short gray hair. He wears a blue space suit.
He says THE SECOND TIME
I FLEW IN SPACE,
I HAD A CHANCE TO GO OUTSIDE
AND DO THREE SPACE WALKS,
SO I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY
TO LOOK AT THE EARTH
FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVE.
WHEN YOU'RE RIDING ON
THE END OF THE CANADARM,
HOVERING OVER OUR BEAUTIFUL
BLUE OASIS OF A PLANET,
IT LOOKS PRETTY INCREDIBLE.
ONE OF THE THINGS
YOU RECOGNIZE,
THE EARTH IS ACTUALLY
A FAIRLY SMALL PLANET.
WE ORBIT THE EARTH
EVERY 90 MINUTES.
SO THAT MEANS,
EVERY 45 MINUTES WE SEE
A SUNRISE
AND A SUNSET,
AND EVEN THOUGH WE'RE IN SPACE,
WE SEE THE EARTH AS THIS
CURVED PLANET BENEATH US,
AROUND 350 KILOMETRES,
THIS BEAUTIFUL BLUE OASIS
WITH OCEANS AND CLOUDS,
AND FORESTS
THAT WE CAN SEE BENEATH US.
Lucas says ARE YOU KIDDING ME, YOU CAN SEE
THE WHOLE PLANET SPINNING,
AND DR. DAVE HAS BEEN ON
THREE SPACEWALKS?
WOW, I AM SO GLAD
THAT QUESTION WAS ASKED.
