NASA Astronaut Discusses Life Onboard ISS with Texas Legislator

Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 35 Flight Engineer Chris Cassidy of NASA discussed life and research on the orbital laboratory with students at the Fredericksburg High School in Fredericksburg, Texas, May 2 during an in-flight educational event attended by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX). Smith, who is the Chairman of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, and former NASA astronaut Eileen Collins joined students to discuss the station's activities with Cassidy, who arrived at the outpost in late March and who will remain in orbit

It's funny that around the 12 minute mark he talks about a possible ammonia leak, and then just later that expedition they had to go out and fix an ammonia leak.

He gets +20 cool points for letting go of the mic and it stays in place :)

Meine Gefühle sind ehrlich und aufrichtig! Glaube mir!

Actually a legitimate question. They must reboost occasionally due to the tiny drag caused by stellar oxygen in tiny concentrations. Space is not a perfect vacuum.

Wonder if its cell phones or any internet or conversation equipement in space and how you feel when you get back on Earth
