With the space shuttle program ending, erroneous reports of NASA’s space program being “over” have surfaced on various websites and news outlets. But astronauts on the International Space Station want to assure everyone that NASA is alive and well. A new video series called “Inside the Space Station” premiers with this pilot episode, and has astronaut host Mike Massimino talking with Ron Garan and Mike Fossum, when they were on board the ISS (Garan returned home in September and Fossum in November). The video confirms humans are still doing many things in space (there’s been a continuous human presence on the ISS since Nov. of 2000); and also includes great images and footage from the space station.
