In an unusual interview on WBZ radio, reporter Laurie Kirby spoke with two astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Flight Engineer Sunita Williams and Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria took a break from their science experiments to talk with WBZ. During Wednesday’s interview, the astronauts talked about various topics such as the Red Sox and space walks. During the long distance phone call Williams, a Needham native, got a chance to talk with her mother, Bonnie Pandya of Cape Cod. “This is a little bit of a surprise but I am absolutely psyched to hear your voice.” Williams said.
Williams also talked about the record number of space walks she has done. “I believe there is a generation of explorers behind me that are going to shatter my record.” About her latest space walk she said, “It was just amazing to be outside…watching the world go by and watching the beautiful view of our planet.”
About her experience, Williams said, “life is wonderful up here.”
A major Nor'easter is headed toward Massachusetts. Snow is expected to arrive around midday Wednesday and last through much of the night. About eight inches is expected in Boston, with lower amounts to the North and higher amounts to the South.
