That Time The Outer Space Skype Thing Did Not Work
Remarks by Vice President Pence at Swearing-In Ceremony of NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine and Call to the International Space Station
“MS. WANG: ISS, this is headquarters. How do you hear us? (Laughter.) ISS, this is headquarters. How do you hear us? It is 220 million miles away. ISS? This is headquarters. How do you hear us? I’m being told in my ear that we’re connecting through Johnson Space Center right now.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Did you pay the bill? (Laughter.)
MS. WANG: ISS, this is headquarters. How do you hear us?”
The @NASA HQ PAO folks did a really nice job on the @VP visit for @JimBridenstine‘s swearing in ceremony today. Everything went smooth. As for the @Skype call to ISS in outer space: make the crew phone home once in a while and their number will appear in your app as a recent call
