When NASA calls and says they can connect your podcast to the International Space Station (ISS), there is only one answer: Absolutely!

Before the interview even began, U.S. Naval Academy alumnus and NASA astronaut CDR Jack Hathaway ’04, USN, greeted us with a flip in zero gravity, making it clear this would be anything but an ordinary podcast.

And then came perhaps the most surreal moment of all: Jimmy DeButts' voice officially made it to space and was welcomed aboard the ISS.

In this special episode of Voices From Orbit, Hathaway joins us live from orbit as part of Expeditions 74 and 75 to share what life is really like aboard the ISS. From watching Earth roll by 250 miles below to conducting groundbreaking research with 3D printers in microgravity and mastering the art of floating through the whole length of the station without touching a handrail, Hathaway offers a firsthand look at humanity's out-of-this-world frontier.

He also reflects on the unique bond among Naval Academy graduates who have become astronauts and the lessons passed from one generation to the next.

Some episodes need a long introduction. This one doesn't.

It's a conversation with a fellow Naval Academy graduate living and working in space, complete with zero-gravity acrobatics, stories from orbit and a podcast interview beamed directly from the ISS.

Trust us. This is a must-listen episode.

From launching into orbit to living and working hundreds of miles above Earth, this conversation offers a fascinating look at exploration, resilience, and the enduring impact of a Naval Academy education. Join us for an inspiring discussion with one of the Academy’s most accomplished graduates as we continue our Voices from Orbit series celebrating USNA alumni who have ventured beyond our planet.
