This is not the first time ISS members are talking live to RT. In April, RT’s Peter Scott also hosted a Q&A session with Korniyenko and Kelly.

RT viewers were curious about life on ISS, asking questions ranging from the coffee situation, to whether relations between the US and Russia affect the astronauts' relationship with one another. The crew answered that they really miss a can of beer or soda, hot showers and fresh air. There was at least one luxury that they enjoyed: coffee from an espresso machine that was delivered to the ISS.
