NASA Astronaut Talks Space with Students

NASA Astronaut Mario Runco answers questions from 9-12th grade students at Deptford High School in Deptford, NJ during a NASA Digital Learning Network (DLN) interactive broadcast.

NASA DLN broadcasts are connecting students around the country with the live mission operations being done by the International Space Station Flight Control Team. ISS flight controllers, astronauts and scientists answer student's questions about living and working in space, how the Houston mission control center operates, and a wealth of other topics related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

You know, space isn't that complicated. The further you get from Earth the bigger everything seems, so everything is spread out. There's still oxygen and shit to make you live out there, only it's really really thinned. Still connected, but really stretched apart. That's why the body expands in space. It's trying to match the bigness of spread out gravity, but it can't and just boils and you become a shishkabob astroman.
