<div > Astronauts on the space station had a tele conference with President Obama and a group of school children. <br/><br/>The president told the astronauts how much he admired the work they were doing. They had just finished installing a new array of solar panels that attached onto the space station. <br/><br/>This new power meant they could double the number of crew in orbit. Space travel was one of the original drivers to developing solar power. There are still some interesting schemes about harvesting solar energy from space. The main obstacle is cost and transporting the power back to earth. <br/> </div>

“We’re investing back here on the ground a whole array of solar and other renewable energy projects and so to find out that you’re doing this up at the space station is particularly exciting,” Obama said. |
