FRIDAY MARCH 14 8P ET / 5P PT
National Geographic Channel is taking viewers around the world—literally—in this spectacular two-hour television event broadcasting LIVE from the International Space Station (ISS) and Mission Control in Houston, Texas. Made in collaboration with NASA, we'll go into orbit with astronauts Rick Mastracchio and Koichi Wakata as they fly at 17,500 mph nearly 250 miles above the earth's surface on the International Space Station, while astronaut Mike Massimino joins host Soledad O'Brien on the ground at Mission Control in Houston. From space, Mastracchio and Wakata will give viewers a fully guided tour, showing us how they live for months in microgravity. They’ll conduct never-before-broadcast experiments that demonstrate the real-world value of the science conducted on the floating laboratory. Plus get ready for stunning shots of Earth, from sunset and sunrise, to city lights and green aurora, to lightning storms and shooting stars. You've never seen our planet like this before.

I thought when they showed the Northern Lights, that was incredible! The reddish sand and the Nile looked amazing. And, the Russian cosmonaut is the happiest Russian I've ever seen. But, they ALL looked happy! Must be a great gig.

I love science and tech shows. I was looking forward to this broadcast. However I found it somewhat boring. Did not end up watching the whole 2 hours...... Nice idea and concept, but for anyone who has followed NASA's program, there was little to see and learn.....
