WASHINGTON - March 24, 2009 - During a video conference call Tuesday, Obama questioned the 10
astronauts about everything from how fast they are traveling and to
exercising in space. He also asked what they do besides work on
experiments and how weightlessness affects their sleep.
Students from Washington area middle schools and members of
Congress joined him for the call.
The crew will spend Tuesday recuperating from Monday's third and
final spacewalk of the Discovery shuttle's mission. The hatches
between Discovery and the international space station will be
sealed Wednesday. The shuttle will undock and head for home. It is
scheduled to land Saturday.
