These interns give a fitting ode to the Orion spacecraft!
Engineers completed installing the heat shield on NASA's Orion spacecraft ahead of its first trip to space in December. The flight test will send an un-manned Orion 3,600 miles into space before returning it to Earth for the splashdown in the
NASA just released a new video parody of Pop singer Meaghan Trainor's song All About That Bass. The NASA version titled All About That Space, could arguably be the better version of the song, at least for space nerds. It is also the result of what happens when NASA lets its Pathways Interns at its Johnson Space Center have fun in one of their facilities.
NASA created the video to keep interest up about Orion's first test flight. Considering that Orion, which the agency designed for manned deep space travel, will eventually take us to Mars, that's definitely something to sing and dance about. So yes, it's time to bring rockets back! But they're not just celebrating rockets, they're celebrating people in spacecrafts launched by rockets. NASA is finally focused on manned space exploration again. Most impressively, this video showcases several of NASA's women interns. Considering that there's a scarcity of women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields, this signifies progress.
NASA has every reason to celebrate. After the December 5th test launch and flight of the Orion spacecraft, the first man-intended space vehicle created by the agency since the space shuttle, a new era of manned space exploration began as NASA started on its pathway to Mars.
Well done interns!
