Did Captain Scott Kelly really open with this? Well yes he did, when Sevenoaks
became the first school to achieve a live video and audio satellite link with a
space vehicle. The International Space Station no less. We could see them, hear
them, and ask incisive questions:
What subjects do would-be astronauts study at university?
Can you see the Great Wall of China from there?
Is it possible to phone home?
How does a gravity-free loo work?
The harmful effects of radiation and the glories of the Earth’s atmosphere when
viewed from orbit also came up. And 300 Sevenoaks students were moved and
inspired by an unforgettable day at school.
