FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!
"I talked to an astronaut in the International Space Station!" Most parents don't get this answer when they ask their children what they did in school that day. But eighth-graders from Rainbow Middle School (Rainbow City, Ala.) did exactly that earlier this month. With the help of the Gadsden Amateur Radio Club, these students hooked in with the ISS as it sped over the United States. As many as 19 students were able to ask astronaut Robert Shane Kimbrough questions. (Nunnally, The Gadsden Times).
