HUTCHINSON — The Cosmosphere will be making a very long distance call that will give participants a chance to visit with Kansas astronaut Nick Hague at 9 a.m. Friday.

The museum and science center will host a conversation with Hague, who is currently aboard the international space station.

During the 20-minute conversation, Hague will take live questions from Kansas students, including students from his hometowns of Hoxie and Peabody. Before and after the conversation, which is called an In-Flight Educational Downlink, Cosmosphere will offer related educational STEM programming.

Also attending will be astronaut Dr. Steve Hawley, who will take audience questions about living in space and his experiences as an astronaut following the conversation with Hague.
