Who hasn't done that? No seriously, that must be incredible. I would love to look back and see earth from up there, that must be hard to comprehend.  Gone to space 3 times and tweeted 240 miles above sea level? Who hasn’t done that?

I'd really like to see more interviews like this on BB in the future. Oh, and - I don't quite meet the requirements (I have the education, but not the experience) but I put in my astronaut application anyway as I feel I'm quite qualified. You never know :) This was surprisingly gratifying, to ask an astronaut a convoluted question… definitely feels like winning the space lottery :)
