“Greetings spacemen, heroes all!” said Colbert during a lighthearted televised interview with the astronauts for his Comedy Central program “The Colbert Report.”
Colbert said he’s been visiting NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston to learn how to be an astronaut and asked for any tips from the six Atlantis spaceflyers. He’s already got going to the bathroom in space down pat, he said.
“I’m already practicing peeing in a tube. I’m very good at that,” Colbert said.
Astronaut Piers Sellers told Colbert to practice eating by mashing up his least favorite food in a plastic bag, warming it up and squeezing it out for lunch.

Yay! Seriously, those guys — all of those guys — are awesome. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for any sign of the video, but if it doesn’t show up, this article makes a nice “fallback position”. :)
Fun interview, even with the technical glitches. I’m looking forward to seeing how the edit comes together. The astronauts always look like they’re having such a good time up there. I want Garrett Reisman as my BFF, so I can introduce him at parties as My Astronaut Friend.
Big salute to NASA and the STS-132 crew – you guys are awesome!

I’m with you, I love Garrett Reisman. He’s a total it-getter.
I’ll also second that salute to the STS-132 crew and all of their support team at NASA. They’ve done an amazing job!
