Although apparent technical problems plagued an August 18 Amateur Radio on the International Amateur Station (ARISS) contact between NA1SS and students in Tasmania, US astronaut Jeff Williams, KD5TVQ, was able to hear and respond to a few questions. Then, after repeatedly experiencing difficulty copying questions posed by students gathered at Reece High School, in Devonport, Williams opened the NA1SS microphone and ad-libbed for a few minutes, running down what amounted to a short list of frequently asked questions he's heard during past ARISS school QSOs.

Seems like we burn a lot of go-juice getting getting go-juice up there. Can't we just ask these guys just stick their legs out at the top and pull them in again at the bottom?

Can anyone tell me how they know SuitSat-1 is still in space? Has it got a gps on it? Or can they see it from the ISS? It has just been announced that its still in space.
