The total solar eclipse is just one month away.

As we enter this final countdown, we're going to look up and chat with the folks over at NASA.

Breanna Fuss spoke with NASA Flight Director Nicki Rayl about the hype surrounding the event, how it's different than the 2017 event, why observing the eclipse is important and what we can learn from it.

Rayl also talked about the future of space travel and returning to the moon.
