Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 47 Flight Engineer Tim Peake of the European Space Agency discussed life and work on the orbital outpost and his preparation for participating in the London Marathon during an in-flight question and answer session April 20 with British journalists in London. Peake, who is the first British astronaut to fly on the station, plans to participate in the London Marathon April 24 by running on an exercise treadmill on the complex for about four hours. Peake, who arrived on the station last December, is scheduled to return to Earth in June to complete a half-year in orbit.
