Ask NASA Astronauts Live From Space Ask the astronauts via a
live video downlink directly from the International Space
Station about using technology to communicate with us down here
on Earth. The nation's space agency has embraced the use of
social media to reach out, engaging new audiences in new ways
and giving people behind-the-scenes access to areas rarely seen
by the public. Communicating from space is no exception to this
pattern of openness. By using tweets, blog posts and streamed
video interviews with groups across the world, the astronauts
living and working on orbit have a unique vantage point in which
to conduct science-altering experiments, encourage the next
generation to study STEM in school and to open a door that
rekindles the dreamer in all of us. Communicate directly with
some of the astronauts aboard the space station during this
panel and explore all the ways that you can connect with what's
going on way up there from all the way down here. Additional
