Class Video Chats with NASA Astronaut Nicholas Patrick!

Astronaut Nicholas Patrick taught us lots about ham radios, and he also answered our questions about living on the International Space Station:

Natalie: We asked lots of different questions, and Dr. Patrick explained his answers well. We all learned something!

Pablo: I learned how astronauts sleep in space.

Lauren: It was cool to learn about how astronauts eat and go to the bathroom on the ISS!

Catalina: We learned that it's OK to play with your food in space!

Eduardo: I learned that astronauts take a "shower" with cloths.

Bernarda: It was exciting, and I got to ask TWO questions.

Julie: I learned that when astronauts sit on the toilet, it works like a gentle vacuum.

Thank you Dr. Patrick and Laurent Thomin, at the AWTY International School, for arranging this fabulous exchange!
