Earthlings Tweet Questions in Cyberspace, Astronaut Answers From Orbit

Here’s what we know so far about astronaut Scott Kelly’s “Year in Space” based on the Twitter questions he’s gotten from earth: He can see his house from space, he bathes with a wet towel, and only one question has ever freaked him out.

Kelly is taking questions on Twitter from earthlings who tag their tweets with #YEARINSPACE.

They range from the how astronauts shower in zero gravity:

We use a wet towel. It's amazing what you can get used to. https://t.co/YJnhDg8yss

To whether he’s ever seen his house from orbit:

I can see my house (and @NASA_Johnson) from @Space_Station! #Houston #YearInSpace pic.twitter.com/OFh1wihvit

And so far, the only question that’s given him trouble, was from President Obama;

Hey @StationCDRKelly, loving the photos. Do you ever look out the window and just freak out?

— President Obama (@POTUS) August 1, 2015

I don't freak out about anything, Mr. President. Except getting a Twitter question from you. https://t.co/AT0nvUXkq4
