“For me, the passion of being an astronaut was ignited at an early age. I have this recollection of looking at a picture of the Apollo program - Neil Armstrong standing on the Moon - then looking at the night sky and realizing that, right where I was looking, people stood and looked back at the Earth. Even as a fairly young child, that was not lost on me, and it inspired me to pursue my dream. I didn't know if I would ever become an astronaut, of course, and the odds are not in your favour, but I just kept it in the back of my mind and tried to keep those options open.” PeopleMindChildrenDreamAgeEarthNightPassionRealizingMoonProgramInspiredAstronautNight Sky Author:Jeremy Hansen
“When you talk to astronauts, the most profound thing when you finally go into space is the view - looking back at the planet - so I absolutely know for sure that that's going to change my perspective on our planet, and it's going to change my perspective on life, I think.” ThinkingPerspectiveProfoundLooking BackAstronaut Author:Jeremy Hansen
“NEEMO missions are a challenging and exciting aspect of astronaut training. The research we conduct during those missions allows us to test new technologies and exploration concepts in conditions similar to the ones we'll experience in space. They are a great opportunity to help me expand my knowledge and develop new tools for future space exploration.” HelpingOpportunityChallengesSpaceTechnologyConditionsTrainingResearchConceptsAspectToolsTestsExcitingMissionsHelp MeExplorationAstronautSpace ExplorationNew TechnologyGreat Opportunity Author:Jeremy Hansen
