Houston, We have a Question: W.Va. Students Talk with Space Station Astronauts.

On Friday, March 17, 2017, in an event sponsored by WOWK and the Clay Center, Senator Joe Manchin joined students from across West Virginia to Skype with NASA astronauts, who are aboard the International Space Station.

Senator Manchin was thrilled to be a part of this opportunity.  He mentioned that it was an out of this world career day fair and went on to encourage students to be curious and learn.

Astronauts Shane Kimbrough  and Dr. Peggy Winston fielded questions from students across southern West Virginia.

Questions came from a broad range of topics.  WVPB recorded this first-time engagement and posted the exchange to our YouTube Channel.
