Meet Former NASA Astronaut Dr. Cady Coleman at Her Home in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts

From outer space to New England, this woman has seen it all. In this season 7 segment of Weekends with Yankee (episode 703), Richard is in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, to meet Dr. Cady Coleman, a former NASA Astronaut. In this segment, Cady tells Richard about her time in Space and showcases her musical talent. Then, we talk to her husband Josh Simpson, a renowned glassblower, known for his glass planets. Richard tours the D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts, where Josh has a 50-year retrospective exhibit. While their individual loves for science and exploration led them down different career paths, they certainly are kindred spirits.
