“We did a workout and completed some “missions” that were related to the exercises we did. We also learned how being in space affects an astronaut’s body and how they feel when they return to Earth. We did an exercise that showed us how the brain feels when an astronaut lands and how hard it is to coordinate your body after you come back from zero gravity. Then we tried to solve math problems in unusual positions that got progressively harder as the positions got more unusual to mimic being in space. We talked to multiple experts in the field of space exploration, all of whom were very interesting. We learned about black holes, astronomy, satellite planning, and talked to a mission manager, project engineer, labs manager, and many more. It was very informative and interesting to hear from a group of such different jobs that were all related to space, and also provided ideas for other careers in the space exploration field.” – Newt
