With the recent extension of the World Wide Web outside of this world, space is just a click away. And taking full advantage of the new ability to live stream to astronauts orbiting Earth on the International Space Station, President Obama congratulates the team for installing the last piece of the U.S. portion of the space station.
During the mission, astronauts installed the Tranquility node and a cupola with seven windows that provide a panoramic view of Earth, celestial objects and visiting spacecraft. The Tranquility installation and its cupola mark reaching the 90 percent point in fully building out the space station.
The president is also joined by 12 students on the live call to space whom he hopes will be inspired to pursue careers in math, science and engineering.
