Astronauts vote from Space


MESSAGE FROM THE SPACE STATION


Respect and admiration should be given to this very few people who can vote from space. Among the few are from the US NASA astronauts Commander Michael Fincke and Flight Engineer and Science Officer Greg Chamitoff, who are currently on board the International Space Station. How the are they going to vote from up there makes me wonder?The two astronauts must use a crew member-specific credential to access their secure ballots and then return them electronically to Earth(sound logic to me).This it is not the fist time astronauts ever voted form space it already started eleven years ago.The very first person to vote in space was Dave Wolf during a four-month space mission in 1997 were he voted for William Jefferson Clinton (Bill Clinton).
