declared it 鈥湷赡耆松钜垢＠谙吖劭� Tech Day鈥� at the International Space Station. He went on to
answer a broad range of questions ranging from 鈥淲here does space begin?鈥� to 鈥淲hat
does space food taste like?鈥� and 鈥淗ow do you sleep in space?鈥�
During the event, Wilmore also introduced fellow astronauts Jeanette Epps and Suni
Williams, who donned Tech baseball and football jerseys to show their support for
Wilmore鈥檚 alma mater.

鈥淚f you鈥檙e interested in space and want to work for NASA, then STEM 鈥� science, technology,
engineering and math 鈥� is the route you have to take,鈥� Wilmore explained in response
to a student鈥檚 question. 鈥淪tudy hard. Math and sciences, it will get you to that place
if that鈥檚 what you desire to do.鈥�
Tech President Phil Oldham provided brief opening and closing remarks for the event,
telling the Tech alumnus and trustee, 鈥淲e are proud of you and can鈥檛 wait to see you
in person when you come back to Earth.鈥�
