Missouri Astronaut Talks about His Experience Aboard the International Space Station

One year ago, Missouri astronaut Bob Behnken (bankin) was in space as part of a historic mission. Behnken, who grew up in St. Louis County, piloted the first commercial space launch with astronauts aboard and the first U.S. space mission in nearly a decade. He tells Missourinet he missed his family and many other things while aboard the International Space Station…

Behnken’s wife, Megan, is currently in space. She piloted a four-person crew in the same spacecraft as Behnken and sat in the same seat as he did.
