Blog Editor's Note: We've got a backflow of comments and questions, but we're still hoping to get a lot of them answered as the weeks float by. (In the meantime, we want to give a special shout out to Spencer and Malia from Rountree Elementary. Tell Mrs. Hopkins that you deserve bonus points on general principles, and you should really get a longer recess.)

Here is today's question:

Do you ever have time for fun activities while in space? And, if so, what do you do?
- Clayton (Team Apollo)

MAGNUS: Yes, sometimes. During periods of time that the shuttle is at the Space Station, we are very busy and do not have much free time. I remember, though, having one half day off and during that time I looked out the window and did gymnastics and explored the station. Since I am now going to be here for four months or so, I will have lots of time to do my own thing. I am hoping to take some great pictures of the Earth, get in some extra exercise, and take some videos describing life in space. It is never boring to just stop and stare out the window!
