Stafford Middle School student Nikko Cavazos is no exception.
âI had gotten a telescope one Christmas, and I wanted to use it really bad,â Cavazos said. âI was looking at a bunch of stars, and I even saw one of the planets. I think it was Saturn.âÂ
Cavazos and other students from across the Houston area â including Stafford and Sugar Land â got a chance last Wednesday to experience a glimpse of life aboard the International Space Station with astronaut Megan McArthur. She fielded prerecorded questions from children during a virtual event hosted by NASA and The Ismaili Council of the Southwestern U.S.Â
