North American Space Training and Research Center outside of Philadelphia, PA, July 2013.

NASTAR

My classmates and I, along with our instructional team, wait alongside the centrifuge that we will enter to get our space training.

 

Train like you mean it! To know what it takes to go up… NASTAR’s simulators are among the best in the world.

Here I feel like the weight of the world is on me – at least for a couple of minutes. But at the point of viewing our planet and its vapor halo – I’m as light as angel wings.
