Legup for NASA

August 5, 2010 - 9:34am -- leadacademy

Today we came to camp and went almost immediately to the stem lab. That is where we do experiments and build things. TOday we were supposed to do this program called leg up. This was supposed to simulat what it was like for the inside of your body to have no gravity and where on your body would be thinner and fatter. First we measured three different places on our legs the ankle calf, and thigh. Then we stood still for ten minutes and saw how that affected the measurments. After that we layed in a reclined position for ten minutes and wrote all the Data in a graph. WE had another activity...

CEV's

August 5, 2010 - 9:33am -- leadacademy

Well,yesterday we did CEV's. For the Goddard girls they had to build and design their Crew Exploration Vechiles from scratch. But luckily for my group since I was a Da Vinci Diva. I decided to make it easiler for my group and choosed to remodel my CEV because in my case I thought that it would save more time. But also then I could help the ones that arent done or ones that need help.And I also was lucky to have such a easy going team we finished our CEV with hours left. Though sadly when everyone was done 1 of the Booster's fell off but I said to myself " no problem a little glue would do...

MIT

August 3, 2010 - 3:58pm -- leadacademy

Today, I went to MIT.There  I learned about what happens to  the muscles when you go up ionto space, what happens is the muscle age ten times faster. This is a problem because the muscles weaken to fast. After, I learned about how MIT is working on a new space suit to help the astronauts move around better, and be safer. The astronauts can move around better beacuse the material is more flexible, unlike the suits we have now. The safer part about this new spacesuit is if the suit gets a hole in it the person who wears it will only get bruises. But, the spacesuits we have now get a rip, the...

        Dear Blog,

Today was very interesting. I went to M.I.T.It took an hour And a half to get there.First we talked to this science guy who showed us this spinney thing that if you closed your eyes, you woulden't feel like your spinning. Also i met a new friend named Jakie.we hade lunch at Subway,Then we went to this Moonwalk thing.also i saw a robot and it was 1 of the 2 in the world! bye!

A Day in an Imaginative Space

August 3, 2010 - 3:54pm -- leadacademy

Well my started off with a bus ride to MIT. That's the college in Boston that works with NASA. A man whose name I don't recall showed us into one of the labs there. He talked about what MIT does as research and stuff like that. I also learned about how gravity keeps your bones and everything in check so if you go up in space it would mess up the balance in your body. They also explain to us about the space suit and its challenges. They also showed us new designs of a new space suit which seemed pretty cool. They also had a moonwalker that makess you feel like your walking on space and...

A Day with MIT

August 3, 2010 - 3:51pm -- leadacademy

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...

interesting..!

To start off the day it begins whern we took a feild trip! to MIT. what we learned about space and all the fasanating things that went on and what happens throught out it. one thing that i learned is how they controlled space siuts and how they built them in a special way. they have this robot kind of machine that gives oif data and how hard it is to move to the astronauts body suit. Counter fuse machine that its a kind of machine that may sound confusing but its really FUN!! so what you do is that you lay down and your spinning really fast and it feels like your...

MIT

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.

I Love today becouse of the moonworking! I use the pedometer for everywhere and doing everything!

I can't wait to go to the stem lab on wednesday! I Love the pedometer to look at how many steps I have talking!

I Love NASA! I talk to my new friends and my old friend! To me Astornuts are cool! I know everthing about space almos.
