The Indiana Senate talked to fellow Hoosier from space. Mission control in Houston connected NASA Commander, Astronaut Kevin Ford, orbiting 200 miles above the earth to members of the Indiana Senate including District 25 Senator, Tim Lanane.  The lawmaker asked at the astronaut, "how important is it that the U.S. continue the manned space flight and exploration of space?"  The answer, along with the entire 20 minute conversation from space can be heard On Demand at http://www.regionnewsteam.com.
