SPACE STATION CREW DISCUSSES LIFE IN SPACE WITH NASA OFFICIALS AND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS Aboard the International Space Station, the seven members of the Expedition 65 crew took time out from a busy schedule Sept. 2 to discuss life and work on the orbital laboratory, the international partnership and upcoming events with NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy and members of Congress during a visit to Mission Control at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The discussion was part of Nelson’s visit to Johnson to discuss the critical role of the International Space Station’s operations in low-Earth orbit as well as the center’s work for NASA’s Artemis program to build a long-term human presence on and around the Moon in preparation for the agency’s next giant leap to Mars. Members of Congress representing Texas, including Reps. Brian Babin, Sheila Jackson-Lee, and Randy Weber, accompanied Nelson and Johnson Director Vanessa Wyche to mission control. Johnson is home to NASA’s offices overseeing operations related to the International Space Station, Orion spacecraft, Gateway lunar outpost, and the Commercial Low Earth Orbit programs. It also serves as the primary training facility for NASA's astronauts preparing for missions to the space station on commercial spacecraft and for flights aboard the Orion spacecraft as part of Artemis missions to the Moon.
