Have you ever wanted to ask an astronaut about what it’s really like to live and work in space? In January 2025, Science Friday hosted a Live In-Flight Downlink with the International Space Station and #NASA. In honor of the event, we planned a full day of exciting programming.

This is an interview and Q&A with astronaut Ellen Ochoa, where she answers questions from students and discusses her groundbreaking career.
