| Don't worry folks, we're note' talking about going into darkness, but to the RED PLANET. NASA has announced the newest "class" of astronauts to train to go to Mars. Considering how long it will take to get there and that these people are in their 30's now, they probably won't get to see Mars, but they should definitely get to help design/test all the stuff to get there. Though who knows with modern medicine, 60 might be the new 30 by then ;) We've got Josh Cassada - PHD in physics and specialist in photon detectors. Photon detectors are used for fancy quantum computing stuff, so maybe the computers of the new space missions will be slightly less analog. Victor Glover is a lieutenant commander in the Navy, a pilot, and currently serves as a Navy Legislative Fellow to Congress. Tyler (Nick) Hague is a test pilot for the air force, went to MIT, and currently works for the DOD as the Deputy Chief of the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organisation. Christina Hammock is the station chief for NOA in American Somoa. Nicole Aunapu is a Marine and a test pilot for the Navy Anne McClain is a helicopter pilot in the army and a test pilot for the navy. |
