An Out-Of-This-World National Parks Conversation

The International Space Station/NASA

Snagging interviews can be hard from the very beginning, but when your interviewee is out of this world, well, things get a bit more complicated. 

Ray Sauvajot, the National Park Service's associate director of natural resource stewardship and science, solved that issue with a little help from NASA. On Friday, he will have a 20-minute conversation with astronaut Megan McArthur about national parks as she flys 250 miles above Earth on the International Space Station.

Their conversation will be carried live on NASA TV and www.NASA.gov/live starting at 10:40 a.m. ET on August 6. 

McArthur launched into space on April 23 as part of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-2 mission. She has stated that national parks are her favorite places on Earth and she enjoys photographing them from space. Here is her most recent tweet about them.
