Questions for NASA & CSA Astronauts from Sydenham Community School

Jack promised his classmates he would relay their questions to NASA.  The NASA Social team has graciously said they will try to make sure each gets an answer! Today during the event Jack did actually get to ask a question of astronaut Don Pettit on behalf of his friend and classmate Ginny, who wondered, "Do solids stay solid in space?"
