The International Space Station is about to get its first delivery from Virginia in two years. The deputy manager of NASA's space station program, Joel Montalbano, couldn't help but get personal. Altogether, five Cygnus ships have delivered food, clothes, equipment and science experiments to the space station since 2013. The latest Cygnus is packed with more than 5,000 pounds of goods, including presents for the space station astronauts. NASA hired the private companies to keep the space station stocked following the shuttles' retirement in 2011.
