NASA astronauts vote from space in US election
Original: NASA astronauts are voting from space. Here is how it works
NASA astronauts currently aboard the International Space Station are casting ballots in the US election from orbit. A secure electronic system routes their encrypted votes down to Mission Control in Houston and on to their local election offices. It is a long-standing practice, but it draws fresh attention during election season as voters marvel that ballots can be cast from space.
