01:04Come on, ride on the magic scuba
01:17Hey guys, welcome to Cosmic Corner
01:19With all the astro news that space permits
01:21And now, check out super famous astronaut
01:24Kathy Kay Kuiper
01:26Hi space fans
01:28Today, I'd like to introduce the newest, youngest, brightest, and most stylish astronaut
01:33In the history of astronautom
01:35Keisha Franklin
01:37Hey guys
01:39Keisha, I know from experience
01:41That becoming an astronaut isn't easy
01:44How on earth did you manage it?
01:46All my hopes and dreams came true
01:48Because I got into astronaut camp
01:50Did you say astronaut camp?
01:53Yes, astronaut camp
01:55Good old astronaut camp
01:57Astronaut camp
01:59Keisha, Keisha, heads up
02:01What a save
02:03But not by the Walkerville goalie
02:05Who seems distracted by paperwork
02:08Thanks Jyoti, I didn't even see that coming
02:10Good game
02:13I've got it, I've got it
02:20Oh yeah
02:25Walkerville wins
02:27What a team effort
02:29They'll advance to the quarter finals tomorrow
02:31One step closer to the Frizzle Cup
02:33Sorry guys, I was a little distracted by my application to astronaut camp
02:38Have I mentioned it already?
02:39Maybe once or twice
02:41For the last week
02:43But it's my ticket to everything I've always dreamed of
02:46A lifelong career in space
02:48But a distracted goalie is our ticket to a humiliating defeat
02:52Don't worry guys, Keisha will have her head in the game
02:55Really? How?
02:56Because I'm going to help her get this application out the door
02:59Okay, but it won't be easy
03:01I need something extra special
03:03Something that really shows what I'd be like in space
03:06Then how about a picture?
03:08Of me? In space?
03:10Nice!
03:11I could put it together in ten minutes on my photo app
03:14Woo-hoo!
03:17Choices!
03:19We have quasars, supernovas
03:21Ooh, how about a nice black hole?
03:24Huh?
03:25Huh?
03:26What happened?
03:35Nothing like soccer and zero gravity to get the blood pumping
03:40I just knocked a nice heel kick right through Saturn's rings
03:43Go me
03:44Ms. Frizzle, we have a problem
03:46Oh, fantastic! What is it?
03:48It's the frizz TV broadcast of our soccer game
03:50The whole network is off the air
03:52The frizzcast? On the fritz?
03:54That means there will be kids all over the world
03:56who can't watch the frizzle cup games this afternoon
03:58Sounds like a problem with one of our satellites
04:01You have your own satellites?
04:03Do I have my own satellites?
04:05Of course, a network of frizz sats for the whole family
04:08Kids all around the globe?
04:10Maybe we should go up and see where the problem is
04:12You mean actually go check actual satellites in actual space?
04:19Keisha, where are you going?
04:21To the bus! It needs to do its stuff!
04:24Couldn't have said it better myself
04:26Trace it to the bus!
04:28This is so perfect, Joti
04:30Now we can take that picture in real space
04:33But I thought we were going to check the satellites
04:35so we could get the game broadcast working
04:37Of course, but we can also take my picture in space
04:41Look out astronaut camp, here comes Keisha
04:44Okay, buckle up kids and prepare those pressure suits
04:47because on liftoff and space entry we're going to get 3 G's
04:54Geez, geez, geez
04:57Cool!
05:01Hang on kids, we're going for a ride
05:04Yay, a field trip!
05:08Whoa!
05:187, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2
05:24And we have liftoff!
05:33Whoa!
05:38Whoa!
05:44Whoa!
05:46Where are we going?
05:48Straight up, not for long
05:50Now assuming orbit trajectory
05:56How did you know that?
05:58If you want to go to astronaut camp, you need to know these things
06:01Are we in orbit yet, Miss Brizzle?
06:03Keisha, my friend, I think we are
06:08So awesome!
06:11More stars than you could ever count!
06:13Just tell me when it's over
06:15We're in space, we're in space, we're in space
06:19That's right Keisha, we are now in low orbit around the Earth
06:22which means...
06:24Turn the engines back on, why'd you stop the engines?
06:27Now that we're up to the right speed and height, we don't need them anymore
06:30There's barely any atmosphere to slow us down, so we can just coast in orbit
06:35I've seen a lot of space movies
06:37Yeah, well, I'm not taking any chances
06:39Assume crash landing position
06:41No
06:42Which one is my favorite?
06:44What are you doing?
06:46No engines, that means any second now we could fall back down to our doom
06:50Not quite Arnold, being in orbit is a perfect balance, like this
07:00Wow!
07:02Ow!
07:04You need to circle the Earth at just the right speed
07:11Whoa!
07:12Just fast enough to resist Earth's gravity
07:15If we go too slow, the Earth's gravity will pull us down
07:18But if we sped up too much, we could fly up into space
07:23See, explain it all you want, I'm staying under here till Tuesday
07:27Not an option, we've got a game to get back to, today!
07:33And I think I've just spotted a satellite
07:38Okay, buckle up kids, it's time to oof to a higher orbit
07:45Wait, stop, no!
07:52What is it?
07:53You'll see in a second, Joti, grab my camera, quick!
07:58Hmm, this'll be interesting
08:02Look down there, it's the exact place they hold astronaut camp
08:13It's perfect for my application
08:15Okay, Joti, I'm ready for my close-up
08:17Space cheese!
08:20You stopped us for that?
08:26Ahh!
08:28Whoa!
08:30Oof! What was that?
08:34Space junk!
08:36I've always wondered what would happen if it hit us, and now I know...
08:40That it's bad
08:44What's happening?
08:49Okay, so apparently that space junk
08:5286'd our Accelo actuator and obliterated our orbitometer
08:57Hmm, hang on kids, we're about to go for a spin
09:06Whoa!
09:08No!
09:17Guys, I'm so sorry!
09:20Are you kidding me? This is a blast!
09:23We're flying!
09:26What is space junk anyway?
09:28According to my research, it's mechanical debris in space that's left over from old satellites and rockets
09:33There are thousands of pieces going around the Earth all the time
09:37Whoa!
09:43That's so weird
09:45What? That there's all this junk in orbit?
09:47No, that while we're getting pounded by galactic garbage, DA is doing research
09:53Hey, look out of the window you guys!
09:56It's a satellite!
09:58And there's way more too!
10:04Great gawking kids, that space junk gave us an unexpected boost
10:08To a higher orbit!
10:10Now keep your eyes peeled for a frizzle communications satellite that beams pictures, sound and radio waves
10:16And soccer games
10:18That one has a bunch of antennae
10:20Like my dad's old radio!
10:21That's gotta be it!
10:22Because of the antennae?
10:23Partly, but also that
10:37Amazing, isn't it?
10:38Wow!
10:42When a ground station sends information up, the satellite acts like a mirror and
10:46Whoa!
10:47Bounces the signal back down to another ground station
10:50Totally like passing a soccer ball
10:52Look! The signal goes in a straight line
10:54So it needs to bounce from satellite to satellite to get around the curve of the Earth
10:59Now, to fix our satellite we have to take space pods to get to it
11:03And by we, I mean you
11:10Space pods?
11:11Space pods!
11:12Cool!
11:15This is the perfect spot for my picture!
11:19Now they take some getting used to
11:21So go slow until you know
11:23And see the special glowing button?
11:25Now listen carefully
11:26I know I don't talk about danger a lot
11:30But this is the one time when you actually can
11:32Astronaut camp
11:34Please, whatever you do, do not push the button
11:38Got it!
11:40Phew!
11:46Let's do a total system check of the satellite
12:04No physical damage that I can see
12:09All the blinky lights look nice and blinky
12:12Keisha, we need your help over here
12:14What are you doing?
12:15Getting an even better shot for my application
12:18Where we are now is perfect
12:28Whoa!
12:29Like the first said, go slow until you know
12:33Phew!
12:34Don't worry, I can do this
12:35I'm practically an astronaut, remember?
12:37Hey, but don't forget that the glowing button is emergency stop
12:40Got it!
12:41Ooh, the light looks perfect over there
12:43Bye!
12:46Uh-oh
12:47No wait, did Keisha just say she thinks the glowing button is stop?
12:51Yes, when it's really
12:52Maximum zoom!
12:59Keisha, listen, this is important
13:01Tim!
13:02You're in my shot!
13:08Phew!
13:09Keisha, listen up, we just want to make sure that
13:11The sooner you all get out of the way, the sooner I'll get this picture
13:23What's she doing now?
13:24Going too fast!
13:29How do you stop this thing?
13:31Just so long as she doesn't hit
13:33Maximum zoom!
13:38You have reached maximum zoom!
13:40Congratulations!
13:46You are in low Earth orbit
13:48Passing the International Space Station, the Hubble Telescope
13:51And heading for an Earth monitoring precept
13:53Oh no, I'm gonna hit it!
13:56Stand by to deploy safety pillows
13:58Safety pillows?
13:59What are safety pillows?
14:08Ah!
14:09Oh no, oh no!
14:13How do I?
14:18Make it stop!
14:19You are now in medium Earth orbit
14:21Heading for a navigation precept
14:23Whoa!
14:24Whoops!
14:26Look out
14:27And a communication precept
14:29Oops
14:32It's like I'm wrecking space and losing a pillow fight at the same time
14:36Enough with the pillows!
14:38You are now in geosynchronous orbit
14:40About to hit a weather precept
14:43Ah!
14:45Not another one!
14:47Nope, that was a communication precept
14:50Hang on Keisha!
14:52Ah!
14:58Hi
14:59Bye
15:03So, the glowing button, not the brakes then
15:06Nope, not the brakes
15:08Them's the shakes
15:09However, the good news is that not many 5th graders can say they've gone at maximum zoom through all of Earth's orbits
15:15That's gonna look great on your application
15:17Man, you covered a lot of territory
15:20That was crazy scary, terrifying, nutso!
15:23Can I go next?
15:24You sure you're okay Keisha?
15:26I am, but I'm not so sure about all those satellites
15:29Well, I am, and they are destroyed
15:32Huh?
15:36Frist sat 4 hit frist sat 2
15:38Then frist sat 9 hit frist sat 11
15:41Whoa!
15:42It looks like every frist sat in every orbit got knocked off its path
15:46Let me guess, that means that not only is the soccer game satellite down, but so is everything else
15:52Oh DA, don't be silly, not everything else, just the entire friz-net
15:56Friz-web, friz-GPS, friz-radio communication, friz-weather stations, friz-space telescopes, friz-scientific research and friz-cat videos
16:04Other than that, we're all good
16:06Friz-space is officially broken
16:09And it's all my fault, again
16:18Ms. Frizzle, is there any way to fix those frizz-sats?
16:21You can't so much fix them as you need to totally replace them
16:25And according to my research, satellites take years to make and cost millions
16:30Well, not if they're frizz-sats
16:31See, we have a Swedish cousin in the satellite biz
16:35Really? Seriously?
16:36No way! Of course you do
16:38Yes, my wonderful cousin Bjarn Frizzelsson
16:40That's how you have to say the name
16:42He makes stylish replacement frizz-sats that anyone can afford
16:52However, there is some assembly required
17:02You guys place the satellites in orbit and I'll keep an eye on the links and make sure they work
17:06All right, now you get out there and you put the frizz back in frizz-sat
17:22As my Aunt Barbecue used to say, let's fire them up!
17:26That was before she burned her hair off
17:32Power initiated!
17:35Wanda, are they communicating with Earth like they're supposed to?
17:40Not yet
17:41Something's not right
17:42Wait, when the original frizz-sats got smashed, they weren't just in one orbit
17:48I zoomed all over the place, remember?
17:50How could we forget?
17:52Which means we need to find the right orbits for all our satellites
17:56How do we do that?
17:58Well, what better way to find the right home for a satellite than to become one?
18:05Wow! Look at you!
18:12But Miss Frizzle, how will we know when we're in the right orbit?
18:15Trust me Arnold, when you feel it, you'll know
18:18That's what they said about Poison Ivy too
18:24So this is low Earth orbit!
18:26We're like 200 miles off!
18:28Or 340 kilometers!
18:30Look! You're getting a signal!
18:32It's pictures of the Earth!
18:34That's why my cameras are pointed down
18:36Better send that data to the scientists down below
18:41I think I am
18:44Whoa! Look at you!
18:46I'm an astronomy satellite
18:48Taking pictures of the universe
18:50My cameras point out into space
18:52I can see for thousands of light years
18:55Here we are, maybe on Earth orbit
18:57About 20,000 kilometers above the Earth
18:59Anybody getting anything?
19:01Hold on, I think so
19:06Hey, I'm a GPS frizz-sat
19:08For figuring out maps and directions on Earth
19:12Me too!
19:15Me three!
19:16Looks like we're working together as navigation frizz-sats in medium Earth orbit
19:20Anybody need directions?
19:22Not me, got plenty already
19:24Now entering geosynchronous orbit
19:26Hey, I love this song!
19:28I must be getting signals from a radio station
19:30Excuse me while I spacecraft
19:33Looking good!
19:34Looks like every satellite is in the right orbit
19:36They all connect back to Earth with a strong signal
19:39Alrighty then, is that everybody?
19:41Almost
19:42All the frizz-tech on the ground is working
19:44Except the video of the soccer game
19:46So that must be...
19:47Me! Where am I supposed to be?
19:49I'm not getting anything?
19:51Try high orbit!
19:52Copy that!
20:03Ugh, still nothing
20:09Hey, I'm getting something
20:12The soccer broadcast! It's back online!
20:14Keisha, you got it!
20:16You sure? How'd you know?
20:18They're showing soccer highlights
20:20Way to work with them, Keisha
20:22This is so cool, it's like I'm connected to the whole world
20:25You kind of are
20:26There's a whole network of communication satellites working together
20:29Passing signals to each other, including you!
20:33Whoa, nice pass!
20:35Mission accomplished!
20:37Now that the frizz-sats are back in their spots
20:39Let's get all you back too!
20:43Wow!
20:44Thanks to you, the soccer game will be seen by all
20:48Man, it's good to be a kid again
20:50Because there's something I've been meaning to do for a long time
20:57You know, after being a satellite
20:59I totally get what it means to be a team player
21:02It's so great!
21:03Being connected, working together
21:05Wow, you should become a satellite all the time
21:09I guess it's time to send in your astronaut camp application
21:12You ready for your close-up?
21:13Okay, I'll get out of the way
21:15Oh, no you don't!
21:16I want a picture of all of us, together
21:19My team
21:20Thanks, Keisha
21:23Cathy Kate Kuiper, in person!
21:26Hi everybody
21:28I was just in the neighborhood
21:29So I thought I'd drop in and see my old pal, Fiona
21:33In the neighborhood?
21:34I am an astronaut
21:36Hi Cathy!
21:37Well, to what do we owe the pleasure?
21:39Well, we're just opening up applications to astronaut camp
21:43I thought you might have a recommendation
21:45We're looking for a team player
21:50I think we have just the person
21:52In the meantime, care to join us for a team photo?
21:54Sure!
21:55So long as you all join me for a little something too
21:58Anything! You name it!
22:00How about a nice, rousing game of space soccer?
22:18Hi, I'm looking for the magic school bus
22:20Is this the magic school bus?
22:21Magic school bus?
22:22Is this the magic school bus?
22:24Hi, I'm looking for the magic school bus
22:28Magic school bus?
22:29Magic school bus?
22:30Magic school bus?
22:31Is this the magic school bus?
22:33Bonjour, je cherche l'autobus magique
22:35I'd like to speak to the magic school bus, please
22:43Professor Frizzle, pH deepening your science smarts
22:47Hi Professor Frizzle
22:48I saw that the bus rocket barely slowed down
22:50When Miss Frizz turned off the engines
22:52Does that mean it would coast forever?
22:54Not quite forever
22:56While there's way less air in the atmosphere
22:58In low orbit than down on Earth
23:00There is still enough to get in a spacecraft's way
23:03Slowing it down
23:04So eventually, it would fall?
23:06Yes, but that takes months
23:08Real satellites have engines on board
23:10To keep it going when it has to
23:12What's up with all the trash in space?
23:14Where did it all come from?
23:16Unfortunately, we can't launch rockets into space
23:19Without leaving something behind
23:21From loose screws to entire chunks of spaceships
23:24And when there are smash-ups like the one Keisha caused
23:26The mess gets even bigger
23:28Wow, thanks Professor
23:30Will the next field trip be just as cool as this one?
23:32Guaranteed, as cool as riding a motorbike on a glacier
23:36Bye-bye now
23:54Thanks for watching!
23:56Don't forget to subscribe!
24:24Thanks for watching!
24:54Thanks for watching!
