NASA:  Removing extra thermal insulation straps around some spare pumps in dark conditions.

Your kids experienced what it takes to be an astronaut today! Facing the pitch black space and having gloves on their hands they were given a challenge to build a 10” tower from pics and clay balls that will hold a tennis ball for 3 sec. As you can imagine not seeing and having gloves disposes of touch and sight, 2 essential senses humans relay on to do engineering tasks. In order to succeed in this task, they needed to fully trust the second person that directed them in performing the task, it took perseverance and problem solving. they did it!!! Congratulations!
