My Interview on CNN American Morning w/ Ali Velshi


I had the amazing opportunity to talk live on CNN's American Morning with Ali Velshi prior to the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Topics ranged from "tweeting in space" to the future of space education. Also being interviewed with me is Sarah Blask, a fellow @NasaTweetup winner. This was Ali's first (and last) space shuttle launch. A video copy of the interview can be found at CNN's web site http://on.cnn.com/q5KCDv
A special thanks to Michelle Cumbo, a producer for the show. The absolutely nicest person you will ever meet in television - really.


Ali Velshi started as a business and economics consultant for CNN. He then worked extensively throughout the 2008 Presidential Elections and is now the main anchor for CNN America Morning. He also hosts CNN Wake Up. He is also one the "technology" experts for CNN, sporting both Twitter and Facebook accounts.
