Yesterday we went to the Stem Lab in Worcester.We all did an activity called Leg Up, this activity wasnt all that fun but it was very educational, the activity was to simulate the problems that the astronauts have in space. We worked on that activity for a while and then we talked about it and what we found.After that we had about a half an hour to desighn a CEV which is a space vehichle.That was pretty fun.Then it was lunch time PIZZA! very good. Afterwards we built our CEV and then we presented it this was a pretty fun day.

August 4th 2010Yesterday we went to the UMASS thing. Over there we built CEV's. A CEV is a crew exploration vehicle.I thought that the CEVs were kind of fun. Our CEVs logo was Blast Off..... We picked that name because it was the first thing that popped our head when we started. The people in my group there names were Jasmine,Lin,And me Destiny. Also we had dehydrated icecream. i thought it was the most nastiest thing i had ever tasted!! HAHA thats one of the reasons i don't want to be a astronaut. Also for lunch we had pizza,cookies,and soda. It was reall good food!!

MIT
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.

MIT
Dear blog,
Today was very exciting. I went to MIT and it took an hour ride on the bus to get there. I learned so much about space. The thing that interested me the most was the centrifuge. I found out it spins 60 miles per hour and that if you go on the moon it ages your bones by ten times! After that, some of the girls had the chance to go on the moon walker. There is a vest that you put on and it pulls you up so you feel as though you are on the moon or mars.
