Blast off into space with us to learn what life as an astronaut is like | Nightly News: Kids Edition

Some parts of the country are digging out after a winter blast! We explain what lake effect snow is and how it causes strong snow storms. Then, we’ll go out of this world to visit some friends at the International Space Station for a look into what life is like in space. We explain why people and objects float in space and the answer is surprising! Plus we’ll introduce you to a penguin who is celebrating a huge milestone birthday.
