It for two years i think for this mission what was the training involved. The training focuses in those two years really on what they have to do for the mission so were teaching them about the Spacecraft Functioning about the repair jobs that they have to do the Maintenance Job its a Giant Machine it needs oil laying it. Shining on on the edges theres a lot of work involved that has to be done by the to keep it going and then of course theres a lot of work going into preparation for the soyuz flight being able to fly and potentially Pilot Vehicle is a task that takes nine months out of these two years already and then we have the Science Bitch where we teach them how to be the experimenter that does what the scientists on the ground want them to do because ultimately the experiments for scientists on earth. Stay with us if you would mind were going to have
a look at what alex asked alexander guest will be doing up there and then well well come back. T. V. Because part of the International SpaceStation Mission is to conduct experiments on the effects of space travel on the human body that information is crucial for future Space Missions to distant planets. Alexander guests mission will open up new horizons its expected to pave the way for further Space Exploration for manned flights to the moon and mars. Astronauts health is crucial one of this missions medical experiments focuses on the bodys internal clock which controls sleep attention and Energy Consumption how the internal clock ticks during space travel will be investigated in long term experiments. When they fly to the moon or mars the astronauts will be on their own this mission will test the technologies that make
this possible. For example a new Life Support System is due to be installed on the Space Station. It will use algae to help improve the air quality and also provide the astronauts with nutrition. From the Space Station Alexander Guest will control this Humanoid Robot on earth. Using a tablet p. C. The astronaut will send commands from space that just in the robot will then execute for example aligning solar panels. Its fundamental research for a future manned missions to the moon and mars. The head of the European Space agencys astronaut to Training Division pretty good still with me lets talk about the long term effects of spaceflight weve been doing this now for
decades what effects will crew members notice when they come back after the. Six months. The most obvious effects are defects all on the Muscle System and on Blood Circulation because while we do a lot of exercise in space to keep the muscles active you do lose some muscle muscle mass while youre in space simply because for your locomotion in space you dont need a lot of force so that reduces muscle and the fact that you have no gravity that pulls the blood down in the body to your feet the heart works less plus your body actually reduces the fluid volume of blood that you have because it does need so much to sit in your legs any more when you come back thats the first thing that happens all the blood again follows gravity goes into your legs and that
can lead to noise can also lead to problems really walking about now with the exercise that were doing on on the Space Station we can minimize those effects as much as possible in fact alex i know when he came back from his last mission walked pretty normal very soon after that so its over land and then theyve got it from the seats that you all yeah just like that yes yes its fascinating i could talk to all the accounts. From the European Space agency thank you so much for joining g. W. Thank you very much.

four billion dollars worth of annual u. S. Imports are expected to be hit by the new measures ranging from Agricultural Products to steel and Bourbon Whiskey that list could also be expanded in the future according to e. U. Officials. And this doesnt only affect businesses earlier we spoke to our financial correspondent in frankfurt all the spots and i asked him how these tariffs will impact the average citizen. For example in the United States steel tariffs are used by the Steel Companies in the Car Companies to pass the higher costs on to consumers and they will be affected in here with Consumer Goods affected like Peanut Butter or orange juice or perhaps jeans the margins in this kind of business with retailers are much smaller so i think here there wont be much of a decision to pass them on it will make things more expensive for the average consumer here in the u.
