Students from Buffalo's Harvey Austin Elementary School had a chance to speak to a NASA astronaut on the International Space Station. WBFO's Focus on Education reporter Eileen Buckley says students in 4th through 8th grade appeared at Buffalo State Ferguson Planetarium where they linked up to ask live questions to outer space.
