A class of fourth-graders at Anne Frank Elementary School in Northeast Philadelphia recently spoke via Skype with Astronaut Tim at the International Space Station. Astronaut Tim, aka Tim Belknap, is not really an astronaut, and he's not really in space. He's in the Temple Gallery at Tyler School of Art. The artist, who specializes in kinetic sculpture, built a mock space pod without a fourth wall.
