Former astronaut Scott Kelly spent most of 2015 and a bit of 2016 in low-Earth orbit aboard the International Space Station, functioning as a human guinea pig to test the effects of long-duration exposure to microgravity. He’s currently on a tour promoting the book he wrote about the experience, and as part of that tour he stopped by the Condé Nast offices in New York to do some press stuff.

We were able to squeeze in a quick video shoot and ask some questions of the seasoned space traveler, though we had to keep it short due to time constraints.

However, this proved to be a great way to get our foot in the proverbial door. After we’d talked, it turns out Kelly and his PR team were amenable to doing a longer follow-up interview exclusively with Ars at some point before the end of the year.

So this post serves two purposes: first, it's a nice, short astronaut video. The second, though, is a little bigger—if you have any questions you’d like us to pose as follow-ups, we’d love to hear them. Leave a comment below and I’ll be taking notes for next time!
