| 0:00.0 | Hey, if you love the deep conversations about engineering, science, and space exploration, you get every week from Houston. We have a podcast. Well, there's another official NASA podcast you should check out, NASA's Curious Universe. Each episode of Curious Universe brings you stories only NASA can tell. Hear from scientists looking for signs of life beyond Earth. |
| 0:22.6 | Find out what it's like to fall into a black hole. |
| 0:25.9 | And tag along with NASA experts paving the way for astronauts to return to the moon |
| 0:30.4 | and eventually set foot on Mars. |
| 0:34.1 | Whether you're a total space nerd or a first-time space explorer, |
| 0:40.1 | there is a curious universe episode for you. |
| 0:43.9 | Three, two, one. |
| 0:48.1 | We have ignition and we have nip-off. |

| 1:21.0 | minutes, experiencing 16 sunrises and sunsets each day. And from 250 miles above the surface, they have a view of the planet like no other. |
| 1:29.9 | It's breathtaking, but capturing that beauty on camera, that takes skill, practice, timing, |
| 1:35.1 | and a little bit of engineering know-how. |
| 1:37.0 | Today we're joined by two NASA astronauts who know their way around the station, apertures, |
| 1:41.6 | and ISOs, Don Pettit and Matt Dominic. Between them, they've captured |
| 1:45.6 | some of the most iconic images from orbit. We'll hear how photography became a part of their |
| 1:50.3 | spaceflight journeys and what it takes to shoot incredible images in microgravity and what |
| 1:54.9 | shots they'd still love to capture the next time they fly. Let's strike a pose from station. |
| 1:59.8 | Music the next time they fly. Let's strike a pose from Station. |
