NASA Astronaut to Connect with Pennsylvania Students via Live Video Call
A groundbreaking event is set to take place on February 5 when NASA astronaut Chris Williams connects with students in Pennsylvania for a live video call. The conversation, which will air live on the agency's Learn With NASA YouTube channel at 12:20 p.m. EST, promises to be an exciting opportunity for young minds to learn about space exploration and its relevance to their future careers.
During this Earth-to-space call, Williams will respond to prerecorded questions from students in kindergarten through grade 12, as well as members of the community, on various STEM topics. The event is part of NASA's mission to inspire a new generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators.
Williams' journey aboard the International Space Station marks over two decades of continuous living and working in space. Since its inception, the space station has been home to astronauts who have tested technologies, conducted scientific research, and honed skills necessary for future deep-space missions.
The upcoming event not only highlights NASA's commitment to STEM education but also serves as a stepping stone for its ambitious Artemis campaign. As part of this initiative, NASA aims to send humans back to the Moon by 2025, paving the way for further exploration of Mars and establishing humanity's presence in space.
This special connection between Williams and Pennsylvania students is an excellent example of NASA's outreach efforts to engage with communities across the country. For media interested in covering this event, RSVP deadline is February 4 at 5 p.m., and can be reached by contacting Tamara Krizek at 917-692-5038 or [email protected].

. Now we're living in a time where we have people like Chris Williams who are actually out there exploring space and making history 
. It's amazing to think that one day we'll be walking on Mars too! But what I love about events like this live video call is that it brings the excitement of space travel down to earth for kids (and let's be real, adults too 
). We need more people like Chris sharing their experiences with us because who better to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers than someone who's actually been there?
. I mean, how many times have we seen this exact same script played out? "Hey kids, let's talk about space!" 
And don't even get me started on the whole "stepping stone for Artemis" thing... sounds like NASA is just trying to push their agenda down our throats. 
Can we have a more nuanced conversation about space exploration without all the hype?
I just love when celebrities and public figures connect with kids like this! 
. As a parent, it's amazing to see these kinds of initiatives that inspire young minds to learn about STEM topics 
. My kid is still in elementary school and I know they would totally freak out if they got to talk to an astronaut on the phone! 
Can you imagine what kind of questions they'd ask? 
This event sounds like a great way to get kids excited about science, technology, engineering, and math - and who knows, maybe even spark their own passion for space travel one day! 
i mean think about it - a real-life astronaut talking to young students about space and STEM, it's like a dream come true for these kids! 
and can you imagine the questions they must have? like how do we get to Mars?! or what's it like living in space for two decades?! 
..anyway, nasa's doing an amazing job inspiring the next gen of scientists & engineers...cant wait to see what they achieve 
I'm so stoked about this live video call between Chris Williams and students in PA 
. The Artemis campaign is also really exciting - who knows what kind of innovations will come out of it? 
NASA's Learn With NASA program is fire, btw. It's awesome they're connectin' with students and inspirin' the next gen of space explorers 
astronaut! I mean, can you think of anything cooler than getting advice from someone who's basically a superhero in space? 
anyway, this is a great way for kids to learn about STEM and who knows maybe one of them will become the next NASA astronaut
