The Question
(Submitted February 28, 1997)
When you are up in space, do you ever get lonely?
The Answer
Our Laboratory at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is interested in
sources of X-ray and gamma-ray emission in our Universe. No one in our
Laboratory has ever been into space. I can give you the following leads,
however, to directly ask some of NASA's astronauts if they were ever
lonely.
There is one WWW site you may find interesting - "Ask an
Astronaut", at
http://www.nss.org/askastro/, they allow direct questions to astronauts
(although only a few are answered of the thousands submitted) and have an
archive of previously asked/answered questions.
Because of the extremely high volume of e-mail they would receive if their
addresses were public, astronauts' e-mail addresses are restricted. However,
you can write them at the following address:
Astronaut Office/CB
NASA
Johnson Space Center
Houston, TX 77058
Good luck!
Regards,
Laura Whitlock
