You're talking to an astronaut,

[dodgechargerfan]

what do you talk about?

I may have the chance to talk with Colonel Chris Hatfield next week.

I'm not going to ask how to poop in space.
Are the McCoys a taboo topic?

Should I bring a guitar and a Sharpie?

 

[tiger roach]

Badger him for secret alien info. They love that!

 

[mongooz]

ask him if he's ever met Howard Wolowitz.
he invented the space toilet.

 

[Tiltsta]

Awesome. Ask him a lot of guitar in microgravity questions. He seems like a real interesting guy.

 

[GomezAddams]

Ask him if he was involved in the fake moon landings. Then duck.

 

[Steverino]

Ask him if he's got that Larrivee that was up at the ISS. Somebody's got it.

I've met many, and have talked to Fred Haise so many times we're almost on a first-name basis (he lives here, and he comes by a lot). We talk fishin'.

 

[tompetty]

Ask him to pull your finger..

 

[Tiltsta]

Ask him how many guitar picks he lost on the ISS. I assume they are stuck in the lint trap of the space station laundry.

 

[B Valley]

I'd like to ask an astronaut what it feels like to sleep in a zero gravity environment and if he can tell you his favorite astronaut joke.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

his favorite astronaut joke.

THAT's a great idea!!

It's still on the station. It's a permanent fixture and was already there before he went up.

I read somewhere that guys who come back from the ISS have to mentally adjust to gravity. They get used to just letting go of things and having them stay put and 'float', so when they get back to Earth, they drop a lot of stuff. Like just letting go of a coffee cup or tube of toothpaste and expecting it to float, but it falls to the ground.

This might be an interesting thing to ask about.

I've never been in a zero gravity environment, and yet....

 

[sonik]

Ask him how fast he can shred without gravity holding him back.

Astronauts are cool.

I was at Kennedy Space Center last year with my 10 year old nephew and we did the 'Lunch with an Astronaut'. it was pretty cool.

Of course the first question asked (by a kid) was about pooping in space.

You could ask him about this -

I went to this talk, and they showed this video. it was great. Astronauts are cool.

 

[GomezAddams]

Ask him if he, or anyone he knows, has joined the 200 mile high club.

 

[smurfco]

Ask him the length and diameter of his penis.

 

[Lerxst]

You get to talk to your first astronaut....he otot gets to talk to his 1 millionth goober. I'm sure he has a spiel all set.

 

[OGG]

You should tell him your story about growing up in the rough part of Philly and eventually moving in with your Auntie and Uncle in Belair.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Or ask if they can see the fireworks in space when OGG goes all OGG.
