SPACE STATION CREW DISCUSSES LIFE IN SPACE WITH THE MEDIA AND THE MILITARY

Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 65 Flight Engineers Shane Kimbrough and Mark Vande Hei of NASA, both retired U.S. Army Colonels, discussed life and work on the complex during a pair of in-flight interviews May 6 with WCCO-TV, Minneapolis and the public affairs office of the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York. Kimbrough earned a Bachelor of Science degree in aerospace engineering from West Point in 1989 while Vande Hei calls Minnesota one of his home states. Vande Hei launched to the station in April on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft, followed two weeks later by Kimbrough’s launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket aboard the Crew Dragon spacecraft “Endeavour”.
