On October 12, 2021 at 11:12 UTC, International Space Station astronaut Mark Vande Hei spoke to students from Mary Hare school for the deaf in Newbury, England.
Using a Baofeng UV-5RTP and a RD-771 antenna I received and recorded most of the broadcast. You just hear one side of the conversation because I only have line-of-sight to the ISS, but the questions asked are listed below.
0:00 How do you tell directions in space?
0:30 What do the northern lights look like from space?
0:53 How can you shower in zero gravity?
1:12 What’s your favourite space technology?
1:40 If there was a fire, how would you evacuate?
2:06 Do mobile devices work in space? For example, a Smart Phone?
2:38 If you could take one thing from home into space, to make life more fun what would you take and why?
2:54 What is it like to wake up and see the earth from space?
3:28 How long have you been in space for?
