Extreme Voting: How Astronauts Cast Ballots from Space.
Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Can you imagine voting in an election hundreds of miles above their nearest polling location, where neither the Internet nor LTN/4G signals is accessible? There above any the clouds or even the stratosphere, several astronauts are working in the International Space Station, and two Americans are in their missions October 6th, 2012 when the US presidential election is held. They chose to vote before leaving Earth but they also could vote from the space using a specially designed and encrypted secure transmission to their mission control center in Huston, TX.
Enjoy reading and learning how extreme a voting could be and remember “Every vote counts.”
