DENVER, CO — Have you ever wondered what life is like up aboard the International Space Station ? Colorado astronaut Matt Dominick gives an inside look at space life and the important work happening at the station.

It is the thing dreams are made of for thousands of kids who grow up wanting to be astronauts, but believe it or not, that wasn’t really a thought for Matt. “So, we’re kind of everything up here, right? So, initial responsibility was getting the crew up here safely on the Crew Dragon and managing a rocket ship and keeping folks safe and working with Mission Control SpaceX and Mission Control Houston to get that done,” Dominick explained.“So the other day, I was literally trying to cover up paint that was peeling off — something as simple as that to fixing the toilet,” Dominick said.

For kids interested in becoming an astronaut, Dominick encourages them to follow their dreams to infinity and beyond.
