Space station flight engineer Cady Coleman isn't slacking on her music practice even though she's in orbit.

During an interview with NPR, Coleman played on one of the four flutes that she brought along with her to space. The instruments include a flute Coleman got from Ian Anderson, with the Jethro Tull band.

With Coleman during the interview were Italian astronaut Paulo Nespoli with the European Space Agency, left, and station commander Scott Kelly, center.
