How astronauts bridge the gap between orbit and the classroom
In short: Watch how NASA flight engineers bring the International Space Station to the classroom, connecting students in Texas with the reality of life in low Earth orbit.
During an educational event on April 8, NASA flight engineers Tom Marshburn and Chris Cassidy engaged with students from Mary Marek Elementary School in Pearland, Texas. The interaction highlights NASA's commitment to making orbital research accessible to the next generation.
The session featured Marshburn, who had been aboard the International Space Station since December 2012, and Cassidy, who arrived on March 29. The two astronauts share a long professional history, having previously served as crewmates on the STS-127 mission of the space shuttle Endeavour in July 2009.
