Today we took a trip to Boston and went to a MIT, a college in Boston. We learned that onn the moon its hard to walk because of how the space suit is formed. They are filled with gas for humans to breath. That gas is called oxygen in order for us to live we need it. Moon and Mars are the only two heavenly bodies that NASA has ever visited and done some investigation and work on it. We also saw how astronauts walk on moon and mars. The space suit has a reflex as a balloon, so it not easy to bend, they have a certain moon walk. We had experienced the  moon walk by connecting a harness that...

Dear blog,
Today was very exciting. I went to MIT and it took an hour ride on the bus to get there. I learned so much about space. The thing that interested me the most was the centrifuge. I found out it spins 60 miles per hour and that if you go on the moon it ages your bones by ten times! After that, some of the girls had the chance to go on the moon walker. There is a vest that you put on and it pulls you up so you feel as though you are on the moon or mars.

         The day at MIT started with an exhausting bus ride to the college. Once we were of the bus, we stretched our tired bodies and enter the building. We had a PHD student guide us throughout the building. He brought us to a room and gave us a short introduction about the college, what he does, and the other programs that are associated with the college. After he was done speaking, he brought us to a room that had a centrifuge in it. The man explained what it was and and the purpose of the machine. We would have been able to go on it, but it was under construction. They were trying to...

Today we took a bus to Cambridge. It took about 45 minutes. Then we went into this building about aerospace adn met these two people. The were both scientists. One was named Brad and he brought us into his lab which was the Motor Vehicle lab. He shwed us a lot of cool machines. He Showed us a centrifuge which was this platform where a person layed down and spun around the center of rotation. We learned about the inner ear and the liquids inside it. Then we went in the other part of the lab and Brad talked to us about space. He told us space suits are very hard to move in and he showed us...

      We spent a day at MIT today. It was slow paced at first when we had to take a hour long bus ride to get there. Then, We waited and listened to a lecture/discussion all about space suits and attempts to modernize them. The day drastically inmproved when we were able to go on the moon walker. A simple contraction made of pulleys, a battery, a metal support, and wiring. The moon walker makes you lighter by hooking you onto the device. Then, you walk, hop, and run on the treadmill beneath it. WARNING!!! The moon walker can give wedgie/rashes as my fried puts it.

     Yesterday was...
