#SuitUp with NASA for the Journey to Mars

NASA is getting ready to send humans to Mars! Check out their newest video discussing the space suits we will need to get there! :)

In 2015, NASA will be recognizing 50 years of spacewalking, or Extravehicular Activity (EVA). Throughout the year, NASA will be celebrating accomplishments such as these with a look towards the future. Spacewalking enhances our exploration capabilities and enables humans to go deeper into the solar system in part by suiting up. Two important dates to remember are March 18, the anniversary of the first spacewalk by Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, who left his Voskhod-2 vehicle for a 12-minute tethered walk, and June 3, when NASA’s Ed White exited his Gemini-4 capsule using a hand-held oxygen jet gun to push himself from the hatch for a 23-minute tethered spacewalk. So, #SuitUp with us throughout the year and join us for the #JourneytoMars.

The Newest NASA Co-op Celeb Status Video: All About That Space

Two years ago the NASA co-ops and interns created one of the greatest videos to ever grace the World Wide Web - NASA JOHNSON STYLE, a parody of PSY's "Gangnam Style" - and it received over FIVE MILLION VIEWS.

During the Fall semester of 2014 the co-ops and interns did it again! This time, they created a parody of Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" called ALL ABOUT THAT SPACE and were featured on TIME Magazine and a variety of other media outlets. Unfortunately, I joined the co-op program too late to be a part of NASA Johnson Style and I finished my co-op experience too soon to be a part of the filming for All About That Space. Nonetheless, I am so incredibly proud of the co-ops and interns at Johnson Space Center for creating ANOTHER amazing video that is not only catchy, but promotes science, space, and NASA in a fun, interesting, and memorable way for the rest of the world to see.

WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW and SEE THE AWESOMENESS FOR YOURSELF!

NASA JSC Education - "Have you seen the awesome “All About That Space” video yet? If not, you've got to check it out! Pathways Interns of NASA's Johnson Space Center created a parody (to raise interest and excitement for Orion's first flight) of Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass”. The lyrics and scenes in the video have been re-imagined in order to inform the public about the amazing work going on at NASA and the Johnson Space Center. Enjoy!"
