Last month, Colonel Virts visited our school and talked about his adventures with NASA and in the International Space Station. He talked about his training and how he gained interest in space. We learned a lot about how you train to be an astronaut.
One thing I thought was interesting was how the Earth looks from space. Colonel Virts took a lot of pictures of Earth from space. We also got to see inside the spaceship, the takeoff, and the return of the spaceship.
If you would like to know more about his adventures and how to be an astronaut check out his website (link down below) and check out his book, The Astronaut’s Guide to Leaving the Planet.
