Thank you Ted, this is a great question since we all have one time or another wondered how things are from up there !
On a side note, I have been wondering about an "Almanac" page on the website that would list all the questions that have ever been asked and their answers from the ISS crew. Credits would be given to the first person/child asking the question, and for every crew member answering the question. If different answers were given for any said question, it would just add that much more flavor. There would be no need for any heavy lifting work as in sorting or grouping these, since it would be easy to search for words/terms on the web page. Maybe it would lead to some very interesting S.T.E.M. discussions.
Happy 4th !!
