NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio will give an interview on Friday that will be live streamed from the International Space Station, where he and five other astronauts currently reside.

It’s rare for such an interview to happen, and even rarer for it to be streamed live.

Mastracchio will speak with Space.com about living and working at the station, which orbits around the Earth.

He has been living there since November 2013 with another American astronaut; a Japanese astronaut; and three Russian astronauts, also known as cosmonauts.

He will also discuss his thoughts on the upcoming Olympic Games and the Super Bowl.

The broadcast will begin at 10:45 a.m.
