Westview Elementary students smile in front of a blue banner with a full-size cutout of astronaut Anne McClain.

On Tuesday, students from across Spokane had the opportunity to ask questions of Anne McClain, NASA astronaut and U.S. Army Colonel, who is currently floating above the earth on the International Space Station.

Mobius Discovery Center hosted a special “downlink” satellite chat with the Spokane native from her alma mater, Gonzaga Prep, for 1,300 school-age students.

Students from Shadle Park High School, Ruben Trejo Dual Language Academy, Logan Elementary School, and Westview Elementary School also had questions answered by McClain!

Check out a recordings of the Q&A:
