Neutral Buoyancy Lab

We have had a very exciting morning visiting the Neutral Buoyancy Lab where astronauts can experience the effects of weightlessness. It is a huge pool 40 feet deep with space station replicas on the floor. We were extremely fortunate to be there as 2 astronauts (Alexander Gerst and Jeanette Epps) were putting on space suits and being lowered into the water. Look them up as they are both assigned to space missions in the near future!

















Absolutely out of this world experience! Now looking forward to scuba diving.
