Walking on the moon!

It's lunchtime and I've got a few minutes to update. We went to the simulators this morning and they were cool! My favorites were the Multi-Axis Trainer and the 1/6 gravity simulator. The 1/6 gavity simulator mimics what it would feel like to walk on the moon. The moon is smaller than the earth and therefore the pull of gravity is much weaker. This means that if you weigh 60 pounds on earth you would only weigh 10 pounds on the moon!

I'll post pictures and video later tonight. Now we're off to our group picture and then training for our space mission.

I am glad you are having a good time! I loved Space camp and the 4 g's simulator when I was younger and went to Space Camp!
