      Hello BB-8, the simple answer for me is “yes”. It’s very cool. Because it’s not normally part of my job as Ground Controller, I have only spoken to the ISS on one occasion. Naturally I immediately posted pictures to my Facebook page. I’ve met several astronauts here on Earth, and it turns out they’re normal persons, just like you and me.
