Question: What temperature do you keep your rooms at? Does Yuri like it colder or warmer?

Lu: Well, all the modules are pretty much at around 72 to 73 degrees roughly, plus or minus a little bit. Some of the modules are a little bit warmer than others. It just depends on which direction the Sun's at and so on, and how much equipment is turned on in there. Yuri and I pretty much like it at about the same temperature. It's pretty comfortable in here all the time. Not quite Hawaii, but it's not bad.

Question: I'm an amateur radio operator and have enjoyed a couple of contacts with the ISS crew. I'm also very happy that you have made and are currently making contacts with schools. I'm curious if you are still making random contacts with ham radio operators, or is that on hold? Thanks again, take care.

Lu: I've made a few, and I also made quite a few contacts during Field Day, which was a couple of weeks back, and I'm planning to make some more. So if he's out there listening, maybe I'll get a chance to talk to him one of these days.
