Middle schoolers bridge the gap to the International Space Station
In short: Watch as Alabama middle school students engage in a direct dialogue with an astronaut to explore the realities of orbital life.
On October 21, 2011, students from Birmingham, Alabama, gathered at Carver High School for an educational event featuring Expedition 29 Commander Mike Fossum. The session provided a rare opportunity for students to discuss the daily work and living conditions aboard the International Space Station.
The event, which was attended by Representative Terri Sewell, highlights the importance of connecting classroom learning with real-world space exploration. It serves as a primary example of how NASA facilitates direct interaction between the public and the international orbital laboratory.
