Welcome to American Mosaic from Learning English.
Im June Simms.
Today on the show: We play music from the just announced nominees for Billboard Music Awards.
But first we hear about a NASA program that connects American students with astronauts in space.
Video Links Students on Earth and Astronauts in Space
Some students in California got a rare chance to speak with astronauts in space through a recent video link. The event was part of an effort by the U.S. space agency NASA to excite young people about science.
Station, this is Houston. Are you ready for the event?
And we are ready for the event.
Hundreds of college and high school students gathered at California State University, Los Angeles for the NASA video link with the International Space Station.
Cal State Los Angeles, this is Mission Control, Houston. Please call station for voice check.
Station, this is Dean Emily Allen. How do you hear me?
At the other end of the link were three astronauts floating almost 400 kilometers above the earth.
The students learned about the professional paths that led Americans Rick Mastracchio and Mike Hopkins and Japans Koichi Wakata into space. Engineering student Maria Munguia asked astronaut Mastracchio the first question.
