    At 2:24 a.m. CST on February 11, Massimino will host the event with the crew from his console in Mission Control. He will ask the astronauts as many submitted and live questions as possible during the 20-minute time period. The shuttle will be docked to the station during the live question and answer session. The event with Endeavour’s crew will be broadcast live online and NASA Television.

    The public can start tweeting questions for the Endeavour’s crew today to Massimino’s Twitter account, @Astro_Mike, or add the hashtag  #askastro to their tweets.

    The time and day of the Twitter session are subject to change due to mission priorities.
