Few humans have had the opportunity to see Earth from space, much less live in space. We got to talk to one of these lucky people — NASA astronaut <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/people/loral-ohara/">Loral O'Hara</a>. She will soon conclude her nearly seven month stay on the International Space Station. Transmitting from space to your ears, Loral talks to host <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/1082526815/regina-g-barber">Regina G. Barber</a> about her dreams in microgravity, and her research on the ISS: 3D-printing human heart tissue, how the human brain and body adapt to microgravity, and how space changes the immune systems of plants.
