NEW YORK (AP) - National Geographic Channel is targeting a subject that's literally over our heads, bringing it down to Earth in an ambitious two-hour special.

Airing Friday at 8 p.m. Eastern/5 p.m. Pacific, "Live From Space" will originate from the International Space Station with American astronaut Rick Mastracchio and Koichi Wakata, who's Japanese, as on-board correspondents. (It will air on National Geographic Channel in 170 countries in all, on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom and on the Spanish-language Nat Geo MUNDO network.)

Thanks Marp2, I will pass the information to my husband, he loves anything concerning space. Me, not so much.

[Marp2]

The main reason this holds interest for me is the tour of the space station and somewhat the challenges of daily living.

I just received an 'update' about it..The first ever Japanese Astronaut interests me too.

mgm, did your DH send a twitter question? I'm finding this more interesting than I thought I would.

I think we need a meteorologist up there. Can't miss what is going on with the clouds and storm formation.

great show !!!

[Marp2]

I agree Lila, interesting and informative. The little kid with the question was so cute.

[Lila Belle]

Yes he was.

Are you watching Cosmos as well ? The first episode was excellent and we're looking forward to the next one.

I tried but just couldn't stay focused on it. Maybe when they do a marathon I'll spend the time and watch all the episodes at once.
