Updated: February 8, 2013
Members of the Indiana Senate have had their first conversation with an astronaut through a video hook-up inside the international space station.

The commander is Indiana Native, Kevin Ford, who has connections to the statehouse.  Ford's brother was a state lawmaker who passed away in 2008.

Ford says he's looking forward to a visit back home after he returns from his orbit, which could be sometime in March.
