MIT

August 3, 2010 - 3:58pm -- leadacademy

Today, I went to MIT.There  I learned about what happens to  the muscles when you go up ionto space, what happens is the muscle age ten times faster. This is a problem because the muscles weaken to fast. After, I learned about how MIT is working on a new space suit to help the astronauts move around better, and be safer. The astronauts can move around better beacuse the material is more flexible, unlike the suits we have now. The safer part about this new spacesuit is if the suit gets a hole in it the person who wears it will only get bruises. But, the spacesuits we have now get a rip, the person will loose to much oxygen and die within 20-30min. The most enjoyable part of the day was getting to use the moon walker.This is a machine that makes you feel as if you are walking on the moon. I leared as lot of information today, and had fun in the process.
