    NASA Administrator Bridenstine Chats with Astronauts Acaba and Vande Hei

    During a recent visit to NASA headquarters astronauts Joe Acaba and Mark Vande Hei sat down for an informal Q&A session with Administrator Jim Bridenstine – and responded to questions from the agency’s social media followers.

    The astronauts, who returned from the International Space Station in late February, talked about the station’s role as a platform to help us live and work in space. The cutting-edge research and technology development on the station is helping prepare our astronauts to take the next giant leap in human space exploration. The agency plans to return to the Moon and eventually send humans to Mars and destinations beyond.

    October Spacewalks Aboard the Space Station on This Week @NASA – October 13, 2017

    The Oct. 10th spacewalk outside the International Space Station was the second in less than a week by NASA’s Randy Bresnik and Mark Vande Hei – and one of three U.S. spacewalks planned for October. The astronauts lubricated the new latching end effector they installed on the Canadarm2 robotic arm on Oct. 5. They also replaced a faulty camera system and completed several other tasks. Joe Acaba will join Bresnik for the next spacewalk – currently scheduled for Oct. 20. Also, California Wildfires Seen from Space, NASA Pinpoints Cause of Earth’s Record CO2 Levels, Send Your Name to Mars, Celebrating the First Piloted Supersonic Flight, and Potential Asteroid Warning Network Tested!
