If you want to train someone for a mission to the International Space Station here on Earth, you have to find a place that can be…space station-y. To do that, NASA is going off shore.

Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, we’ll talk to a scientist who is taking part in this year’s edition of Project NEEMO.

We’ll also hear how students can stay smart over the summer…and spend an academic minute checking out the size of the galaxy.
