What toys do Astronauts play with in space? Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 53 Commander Randy Bresnik and Flight Engineer Joe Acaba of NASA discussed life and research on the orbital outpost during an in-flight educational event Oct. 6 with students at the Gaylord St. Mary Cathedral School in Gaylord, Michigan. One young students asks what toys astronauts play with in space. Bresnik launched to the station in July and is scheduled to be on station through mid-December, while Acaba is in the first month of a planned five-and-a-half month mission on the laboratory. On March 2017, after agreements with RSA, NASA announced that Joseph Acaba will be assigned to Expedition 53 and 54 crews which previously included only Mark Vande Hei and Alexander Misurkin. Shannon Walker will train as a backup for Acaba. Learn more about Astronauts at
