Trip to the MIT on the Moon

August 3, 2010 - 3:19pm -- leadacademy

      We spent a day at MIT today. It was slow paced at first when we had to take a hour long bus ride to get there. Then, We waited and listened to a lecture/discussion all about space suits and attempts to modernize them. The day drastically inmproved when we were able to go on the moon walker. A simple contraction made of pulleys, a battery, a metal support, and wiring. The moon walker makes you lighter by hooking you onto the device. Then, you walk, hop, and run on the treadmill beneath it. WARNING!!! The moon walker can give wedgie/rashes as my fried puts it.

     Yesterday was not so fun, we spent much of the day sitting and maling lists about survival. The highlight of the day was making moon habitats out of newspaper "logs" Then climbing inside.
