TUSTIN, Calif. (KABC) Students from Red Hill Lutheran School in Tustin got their chance to ask the commander of the International Space Station questions on what it s like to be in space.
Ethan Javert was one of the first students to ask Commander Michael Hopkins a question. He asked what goes through his mind when taking off. Hi Ethan, that could be a very scary time when you re taking off because you re sitting on lots of fuel there. It s basically a controlled explosion, Hopkins said.
Hopkins and the kids were able to communicate using ham radio technology. It took about a year of planning for the the kids to have a few minutes with the astronaut.
