Cady Coleman Adds Humor to Life Aboard International Space Station

When International Space Station astronaut Catherine Coleman spoke to employees at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 20, 2012, she told those in attendance about her extended stay aboard the orbiting laboratory. The veteran of three spaceflights described her experiences with the exuberance of a youngster relating a family vacation. At the end of her presentation, she confirmed that – like early astronauts – crews still find ways to set up a humorous gag for engineers and scientists in Mission Control.
