What is daily life like on a space station? Florida students were offered a chance to ask astronauts about it. In an October 14 announcement, NASA described a planned call with the International Space Station. Sally Ride Elementary School in Orlando would host the event. Students' questions would be recorded before the call, rather than asked live.
The call was planned for October 16, with astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney. NASA invited viewers to watch online through its learning channel. Questions could help students connect classroom science with work far above Earth. The event also aimed to introduce young people to future careers. The announcement described the plan, not the results of the conversation.
