On Saturday, December 27, 2008, we contacted the Space Station from the Hands-On Museum. This is not news, but we didn’t have this website up and running then. To view the six-minute video, click on the image at right.
What’s not shown in this video are the number of calls made before the contact was made. We must have called a dozen times, and it didn’t look it was going to happen. Then, all of a sudden, the ISS came booming in!
