Here’s how you can submit your questions.

Join Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg this afternoon as he broadcasts a live Earth-to-Space phonecall with three astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

NASA announced that the call will take place at 12:55 pm EST Wednesday June, 1, and questions from the public are welcomed via their Facebook page. You can RSVP to the event and submit your wildest inquiries here.

Joining the call will be British astronaut Tim Peake from the European Space Agency (ESA) and American NASA astronauts Tim Kopra and Jeff Williams.

NASA has suggested some questions, like “What sorts of out-of-this-world science is underway in the space station’s laboratories?” and “How does the research in space help prepare to send humans on a Journey to Mars?” But it will be interesting to see what the general public really wants to know about. *Cough* aliens.

The call between Zuckerberg and the ISS astronauts will also offer the world a glimpse of Facebook’s new Facebook Live technology, which “lets you use your existing video software or hardware to create professional looking live video content for your followers,” according to Facebook.

So, go ahead and RSVP to NASA’s event page, submit your burning questions, and tune in here for the live feed at 12:55 p.m. EST.
