NASA astronaut Cady Coleman recently returned to earth after spending several months aboard the International Space Station.

During that time Cady assisted in important scientific experiments and research. She spoke with many schoolchildren on earth as well a “cosmic” audience with his holiness Pope Benedict XVI. She even took time to perform an in-space duet with the legendary flautist Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull fame.

The Massachusetts based astronaut spoke with Jodie Newell during a live NASA TV broadcast in May 2011.
