00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to kids Short Story. Today's story comes to

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: us from one of our friends, san Vy. Hey, Snvy,

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: he send us an awesome idea for a story, and

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: you can't too. Just head over to our website, Kids

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: Your Stories dot Org. Send us your idea and maybe

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: we'll turn it into an awesome adventure. And I want

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: to give a special shout out to Leo from Lawndale, California,

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: and Delaney and Gus from Canada. Hey, guys, I'm so

00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: today's adventure? Me too? Let's go. Okay, Mom, I'll be

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: right back. Sanvy ran outside of the mailbox to check again.

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: You see, she had entered the contest to go to Space.

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: Yeah for real. The Space team and opened up one

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: spot for a kid to fly with them to the

19
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: International Space Station in space. Have you ever heard of

20
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: the I S S International Space Station. Yeah, it's a

21
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: cool place, high way up in the sky, way higher

22
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: than airplanes flying way higher than the clouds. It's up

23
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: right next to space, and in the I s s

24
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of scientists and really smart people that

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: learn about how science, how science works in space, and

26
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: they do different experiments up there, and they learn all

27
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: kinds of really important things, like if plants can grow

28
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: with no gravity because gravity do you remember what gravity is? Yeah?

29
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: Gravity helps the water pull down into the soil so

30
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: that the plants can drink that water. And if there's

31
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: no gravity in space, how is the water going to

32
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: get down to the roots of the plant. That is

33
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: a mystery. But all the astronauts at the International Spaceship

34
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: International Space Station, they are super smart and these are

35
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: the kind of problems that they tried to solve. Well.

36
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: Sanvy had entered the contest to be the kid selected

37
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: to go to space. She had to do a very

38
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: special science project about a problem that she would help

39
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: solve in space. And guess what do you know what

40
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: hers was? Yeah, she had thought of a smart way

41
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: to get the water to the plant roots and she

42
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: wanted to try it out in space. When she ran

43
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: out to the mailbox, she looked at all letters that

44
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: were there, not that one, not that one, not that

45
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: What is this? There was a letter from NASA. Oh

46
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: no way, is this real? I think this is it?

47
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: Sanvy ran inside as fast as she could and opened

48
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: up the letter and it read, congratulations, Sandy. We think

49
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: your experiment and your idea is super smart and we

50
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: want you to try it in space with the rest

51
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: of the astronauts on the I S. S. Yes. San

52
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: Vy couldn't believe it. Her dream had come true. Her

53
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: parents were a little nervous about her going to space,

54
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: but they knew that san Vy was super smart and

55
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: that the whole team would make sure that the whole

56
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: mission was safe. She was not going alone. So she

57
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: now had to pack her bags to go to space.

58
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: What would you bring if you went to space? Well, yeah,

59
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: we would first need to pack clothes and maybe some snacks,

60
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: and maybe some toys or something to color on um,

61
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, just to do when you felt a little bored.

62
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: So san Vy packed up her bags with all the

63
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: important things that she needed and they needed to report

64
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: a SAP to Space Command. When they arrived at Space Command,

65
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: the whole team was waiting for san Vy. They were

66
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: so excited to meet this super smart kid. They said,

67
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: san Vy, it is so good to meet you. Wow.

68
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: We loved your idea of how you plan to water

69
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: the plants in space. It is super smart. Oh wow,

70
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: thanks guys, san Vy said, it's really great to meet you. Guys,

71
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: I've never met real astronauts before. The astronauts turned around

72
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: and said, well, Sanvy, it's good to meet you. But

73
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: you see, you are now an astronaut, so you are

74
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: one of us. San Vy couldn't believe it. No one

75
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: had ever called her an astronaut before. In the days

76
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: and weeks ahead, she had to go through all kinds

77
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: of special trainings and practices and exercises and tests, all

78
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: kinds of work to prepare for launch day. Do you

79
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: know what launch day is? It's the day when they

80
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: launched all the astronauts off to space. That was a

81
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: really important day. That morning, who Sanvy woke up and wait?

82
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: Is it's it's launch day. I gotta go, go, go.

83
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: She had to get ready as fast as she could.

84
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: The spaceship was going to launch in three hours. Hurry.

85
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: She got all of her stuff ready and raced over

86
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: to the spaceship just in time. They said, san Vy, awesome,

87
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: perfect timing. Here's your seat. Now make sure you buckle up,

88
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: put on your helmet and your space suit. San Vy

89
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: did everything right. She had practiced this a hundred times before,

90
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: and so she knew exactly what to do. Three two one,

91
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: the spaceship took off and launched off the launch pad

92
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: towards space. Sanvy couldn't believe it. She was looking out

93
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: the window the whole time as she watched Earth fade away. Wow,

94
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: getting to space was a lot bumpier than she thought

95
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: it was, but it was really cool because they went

96
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: super fast. When they finally connected up with the International

97
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: Space Station up in space, she was excited to meet

98
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: the other astronauts that were already at the station. They

99
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: were excited to meet her too, san Vy, We're so

100
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: excited that you're here. You have some really good ideas

101
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: about how we're gonna water these plants. Are you ready

102
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: to get to work? Absolutely, let's do it. And so

103
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: one of Sandy's ideas was to soak some cloths and

104
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: some towels in the water, and so then she could

105
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: wrap up the plant roots with a wet towel. That

106
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: was a really smart idea because remember, in space, there's

107
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: no gravity, and when we water plants, the water would

108
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: just sit at the top of the dirt if there

109
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: wasn't any gravity. The gravity helps pull the water down

110
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: into the dirt and reach the plant roots. And so

111
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: her idea was gonna make a huge difference in how

112
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: they grew plants in space. Why do you think they

113
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: want to grow plants in space? Hmm? What do what

114
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: do some plants do for us? What are our plants jobs? Well, yeah, plants,

115
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: green plants make oxygen for us to breathe. And do

116
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: astronauts need oxygen in space? Yes, fresh oxygen from plants

117
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: is really important for astronauts. So that's one really good one.

118
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: How about one more reason? Yeah, and making food. You're right,

119
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: plants produce food like fruit and vegetables, and so if

120
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: they could learn how to grow their own food in space,

121
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: that would be really special for all those astronauts. Two

122
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: weeks later, all of sun Vy's experiments worked beautifully, and

123
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: all the astronauts were amazed and how well her ideas worked.

124
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: It was time for them to go, but they told Sanvi,

125
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: san V, we really need you to come back again

126
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: because your ideas worked. And when you go back home,

127
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: can you start thinking of some more answers and how

128
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: we can best grow all these plants up here. Sanby

129
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: said absolutely. I've already started working on some more I

130
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: ideas and I'm excited to start testing them. Sanvy and

131
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: the rest of her team got back on the spaceship

132
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: and blasted off back to Earth. Wow. She was an

133
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: incredible astronaut and I think this is not the last

134
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: time that we'll see Sanvy in space. See you later, kids,

135
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: By
