NASA
has announced a unique opportunity to ask the commander of the
International Space Station a question about his role on the orbiting
outpost. Commander Dan Burbank will answer videotaped questions from the
public during a live event tentatively set for January 20th on NASA
Television. The video questions must be less than 30 seconds. Submitters
should introduce themselves and mention their location. Questions must
be posted as responses to a video Burbank recorded on YouTube at http://go.nasa.gov/sDYpzP.
Burbank launched to the station on November 13th. He will conduct a
variety of science experiments and perform station maintenance during
his nearly six-month stay on the outpost. Burbank’s life aboard the
station in near-weightlessness requires unique approaches to everyday
activities such as eating, sleeping and exercising. Burbank will answer
questions during the time available. In addition to airing live on NASA
TV, Burbank’s answers will be posted to YouTube. To follow Burbank on
