Live from space: You talk to Commander Mark Kelly and the Endeavour Crew
April 27, 2011
(Cross-posted from the
YouTube Blog
)
We’ve always jumped at the chance to bring the wonders of space a little closer to home. We’ve announced a
Moon office
, a
Moon race
and an
expedition to Mars
and brought many nooks and crannies of the universe to Google Earth—
Sky
,
Moon
,
Mars
,
NASA images
and a
Hubble tour
, to name a few.
On Friday, April 29, the crew of
STS-134
will launch into space for the final mission of Space Shuttle Endeavour and we want to give you the chance to connect with them. On May 2, NASA Commander Mark Kelly and his crew will take your questions live from space on YouTube.
PBS NewsHour
will live stream the interview from its YouTube channel with veteran space reporter
Miles O’Brien
curating and asking your questions to the crew.
Starting today, you can visit
www.youtube.com/pbsnewshour
to submit a video or written question for the crew of STS-134 to be used in the live interview and vote for your favorite questions. You can also submit questions on Twitter with the hashtag #utalk2nasa. Don’t be shy—if you’re most curious about how to prepare for a spacewalk or wondering if the astronauts have a speech prepared for an extra-terrestrial encounter, this is your chance to find out. Here’s a video from PBS and Miles O’Brien to inspire you:
A few suggestions before submitting your questions:
Video questions are preferred, and should be a max of 20 seconds long
Speak clearly and film in a place with minimal background noise. Keep the camera as still as possible and ask the question directly to the camera
Look through NASA
videos
on
YouTube
about STS-134 to learn more about the mission and crew
You have until Saturday April 30 at midnight ET to submit your questions. The top ranked questions will be used in the live interview on Monday, May 2 at 2:15pm ET / 11:15am PT.
