NASA astronaut Mark Polansky is planning to take social media out of this world.
In a YouTube video posted Friday, Polansky said that during his crew’s mission to the International Space Station, scheduled for June, he plans to issue Twitter updates and take questions from YouTube users -- questions that he will answer live from space.
“Your questions and my answers from space will be broadcast nationwide on NASA television during the mission,” he said. “My crew and I are ready to fly and looking forward to sharing the excitement with you.”
Polansky instructed users to submit 30-second response videos to YouTube and then send the link to his Twitter account.
