| MCA students spoke via audio hook-up with the astronauts on the International Space Station at 10:25 am on Tuesday, May 10th. Ten MCA students had the opportunity to ask questions of Astronaut Ron Garan, father of MCA graduates, Joseph and Ronald Garan (class of 2009.) The conversation was set up by Nick Lance through amateur radio volunteers in the US and Belgium. Mount Carmel Academy sent its school flag into space aboard the Russian Soyuz spacecraft on April 4. Colonel Ron Garan took the flag and a picture of Mount Carmel Academy's recently deceased teacher Amy Bates with him on his journey into space. Both items will remain on the Space Station for six months.
