Weightless Wonder Day 2
This is Tight! Early we rose to set out on our mini-van adventure to
NASA’s Ellington Field. The first thing we saw was a replica of the
DC-9 that we will fly in. The first thing we heard was super-duper loud
noise coming from the jet planes taking off above us. We have to wear
ear plugs. As your behavior support teacher at school I always stress
to you importance of learning and safety. The first thing NASA staff
talked with us about was safety. We found out that all of your
experiments and equipment needed to be cleaned up and watched very
closely. We even had to count every screw and nail in our glove box. If
we left even the tiniest little thing like a back from an earring or a
screw, it could damage the plane and cost $10, 000 (that’s like a 50
Nintendo Wii’s). We also watched the Space shuttle launch from Kennedy
Space Center in Florida on TV. A lot of learning took place today and I
need to make sure that I get enough sleep tonight. Listening and paying
attention is hard when you’re tired. Oh PS we met a famous Astronaut
Dotti. She spoke about her dreams as a teacher to go to space. She
worked hard, applied to do it and she did! I can’t wait to ride to
Weightless Wonder. Maybe someday I will really get to go to space. |
NASA Day #1
A lot of traveling today but well worth it! Houston is so
cool! The first thing that we did today after finally arriving in
Houston was get pedicure (that’s a foot massage and someone paints your
toenails and you sit in a massage chair)……Relaxing. We ate some famous
Texas ribs and checked into our luxury suites. I feel like a celebrity
here. We told the hotel staff “We’re with NASA.” They treat us so
respectfully. We even get free breakfast with waffles, fruit, eggs,
sausage and cereal (but the good stuff). We had a late meeting. Time
for bed!
