On May 12, after a months-long countdown, the students of the Richmond Hill One Stop Community Center’s Computer Technology and Videoconferencing Program will finally get their chance to “downlink,” or videoconference live, with American astronaut Garrett Reisman aboard the International Space Station (ISS). After nearly half a year of arduous training, the students’ curiosity is piqued. These are just a few of the questions they plan on asking Reisman:
1. What is your favorite topic of conversation on the ISS?
2. What is the most extraordinary thing you have done in space?
3. What does a total eclipse look like from outer space?
