British astronaut Tim Peake talked to ten students from the City of Norwich
School in England from the International Space Station thanks to an Amateur
Radio link up. He talked about what life is like in space, what happens
when you bleed in a microgravity environment, his favourite view of Earth
from space, and the experiments he is currently involved in. Major Peake
and the Norwich students were linked up by the UK Border Agency and the
Amateur Radio station on the ISS' team. Tim Hare, a fifteen-year-old
amateur radio enthusiast, established a connection with Major Peake's craft
250 miles from the Earth's surface using a special call sign.

Please vote for my WONDERFUL grandma. She
is a 14 year breast cancer survivor. If my
grandma hadn't beat breast cancer I (I'm
13 years old) would not have been lucky
enough to have met this brave, spunky
woman.
