More than 100 Queens students of all ages flocked to the New York Hall of Science (NYSCI)for a live Earth-to-space conversation with NASA astronaut Dr. Jonny Kim, who is aboard the International Space Station (ISS), as part of an event organized by U.S. Rep. Grace Meng.

Students taking part in camps all over the borough spoke live to Kim in NYSCI’s auditorium at 47-01 Corona Ave. on Friday, July 18, quizzing the NASA astronaut on life aboard the ISS.

Participating camps included Camps ‘R’ Us and Summer Rising, a summer camp held at PS280Q in Corona that brought 69 students to Friday’s event. Students from Queens College and Townsend Harris High School also attended the event, in addition to camp-goers from NYSCI and the Queens Museum.

Kim, a Korean-American Navy SEAL who became an astronaut in 2017, launched to the ISS in April as part of an eight-month-long mission to conduct scientific research in technology development, Earth science, biology and human science among other areas.
