And I'm lookingat a photographofmyfriendMeganMcArthurandthey'rewearingbelts.
そして、友人のミーガン・マッカーサーの写真を見ていると、彼らはベルトをしているんです。
Sowhydoyouneedbeltsinspace?
では、なぜ宇宙でベルトが必要なのでしょうか?
Kindof a goodquestion, but I thinkit's justtokeepyourpantsup, you'renotgonnahavegravitypullingyourpantsdown, butifyourpantsarefittingreallywell, they'llkindoffloataroundyou.
Buthaving a belt, I usedthebelt, infact, lookatthis, I'm using a belt.
でも、ベルトがあることで、実際、これを見てください、ベルトを使っているんです。
Now, I worethisbeltinspace.
さて、このベルトは宇宙で着用しました。
Thisisactuallyflowninspacebelt.
これは実際に宇宙ベルトで飛んでいるものです。
So I broughtmyownbelttospacetokeepmypantsoncorrectlyand I thinkit's moreof a comfortthingandalsomaybesomeexcusestoget a beltflowninspacebecause I wasabletobringithomeandandwherethisnextoneisfrom, atMiguelTavares.
Sowhen I wasworkingontheHubblespacetelescope, myfeetwouldbeinin a in a footrestraint.
だから、ハッブル宇宙望遠鏡で作業するときは、足が拘束されることになるんです。
Somyfeetareniceandsolidandthen I couldreactthatforcethroughmyfeet.
だから、足がしっかりしていて、その力を足で反応させることができるんです。
If I didn't havemyfeetandfootrestraints, I wouldtrytopushthewrenchandmyfeetwouldgoflyingthisway.
足とフットレストがなかったら、レンチを押そうとすると足がこっちに飛んでいくんですよ。
