Some lucky Upstate New York students will have the opportunity of a lifetime this week, when they talk to an astronaut aboard the International Space Station.
While the 4th quarter ran down on Monday Night Football, I was consumed by YouTube's live feed of Space X's Dragon docking with the International Space Station. Incredibly, NASA supplied a multi-camera live feed of the entire operation.

Congratulations to Apalachin's own astronaut, Doug Hurley, along with Robert Behnken as they landed safely on Earth on Sunday. See the amazing splashdown here.
Question number one...can you cook in space? Question number two...did they really bake chocolate chip cookies on the International Space Station? Apparently you can, and they did.
We hope that the 4th of July is happy and festive for you.
Remember to at some point during the day celebrate what it's all about, reflect on our armed forces and their families that are separated, and salute the United States of America!
