VIDEO: Students Talk to Astronauts in Space
Students from schools across Monrovia watched Tuesday as several chosen students asked questions of astronauts at the International Space Station live at a Monrovia High School event.
Students from schools across Monrovia got a chance to watch a live downlink from the NASA international space station and ask astronauts questions Tuesday as part of a special event at Monrovia High School.
Monrovia High School was one of six schools chosen in the country to get the opportunity to talk to astronauts after Monrovia High School teacher Pamela Thompson submitted an application.
Twenty students from different Monrovia schools were chosen to each ask the astronauts a question at the live event Tuesday morning as their classmates looked on. The 20 students were chosen by winning a contest in which students decorated a bookmark and included a question on it for the astronauts.
