You can tune in via NASA TV or the Microsoft Education Downlink Website, or watch the downlink on monitors set up next to the museum\u2019s Great Gallery. There\u2019ll also be hands-on, space-related activities at the museum for kids and their families.<\/li>\n<li>One subject that\u2019s sure to come up during the chat is the Astro Socks Design Challenge. That project, organized by Microsoft Education and NASA STEM on Station, enlisted students to design prototype zero-G footwear for astronauts.<\/li>\n<li>Meir, who began her stint on the space station last September, isn\u2019t the only person with spaceflight experience who\u2019ll be involved in the chat. Retired NASA astronaut Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger, who lives in the Seattle area, will be on hand at the museum on Monday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe title=\"Designing Astro Socks to protect astronauts\u2019 feet in microgravity\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PVFpxYsJhi8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\" data-ratio=\"0.5625\" data-width=\"800\" data-height=\"450\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0px; width: 800px; height: 450px;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASA astronaut Jessica Meir sports green-toed socks during an earlier Earth-to-space chat with students.
