NASA: Day 3





WOW.

Today was absolutely amazing! We had lunch with Sandy, an astronaut that went to Iraq with me, and it was great to catch up and pick her brain some more about space. We learning some astronauts have different radiation tolerances then others, so some can only stay up for x amount of days while others could possibly stay longer or shorter. She said when you come back from being in 0 gravity, simple tasks such as lifting picking up a notebook has a foreign feeling. They literally have to relearn how to function in gravity. Crazy.

We shot interviews and portraits of 4 great NASA employees. I have a better understanding now of why the space program is so important. With the final outcome of my project, I hope you will too!
