Living in space would be super cool. You could float around with no gravity and see the Earth from really, really far away. But it would also be very strange.

When there’s no gravity, which way is up? How do you use a toilet? And what happens if you fart in space?

In this episode, Molly and co-host Vincent learn all about spaceship airlocks, space cuisine and even interview a real NASA astronaut. Plus, a new Mystery Sound comes into orbit.

Fun episode launching in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…

Featured Guests:
Kayla Barron is a NASA astronaut who spent 177 days on the International Space Station
