No, not on a Monday morning at Marshall Space Flight Center Huntsville. Then again, it was sort of the NASA equivalent. Three astronauts who in March returned from the International Space Station were the guests, on stage and mic’d up to recount the highlights of their 157 days orbiting the earth to the people who supported them on the ground.
Wakata – a self-professed baseball fan – in the video even gave a one-man baseball demonstration in microgravity: He pitched the ball, then outraced it to the other end of a module and picked up a bat. Then he hit the ball and scurried back down the module to catch it.But these days, it’s a fascinating place where NASA finds itself. Not only is there the missions to the ISS but now the Artemis moon program has had its successful inaugural flight and is planning for its first crewed mission.
During their presentation, the astronauts touched on ISS experiments growing yeast and yogurt and Wakata spoke of his work with plants. Yogurt is considered an integral food in space travel because it is rich in calcium and astronauts are subject to a loss of bone mass density.
