Space Stories Three Facts about Astronaut Suni Williams In honor of Women’s History Month, we dedicate a post to NASA astronaut Sunita “Suni” Williams, a true pioneer in STEM education and space flight. On Aug. 3, 2018, Williams became one of nine astronauts assigned to a Commercial Crew mission. NASA assigned her to the first post-certification flight of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, which will mark her third long-duration spaceflight to the International Space Station (ISS). Here are some fun facts about Williams you might not know! 1) Her career path started with a haircut Williams’ path to becoming an astronaut all started with her brother’s suggestion that she join the U.S. Naval Academy. He had attended the Academy, and Williams was nervous about pursuing veterinary studies in intimidating New York City. So, she passed up the chance to study veterinary science at Columbia and opted to study the physical sciences at the Naval Academy instead. It turned out to be a good fit for Williams as it helped her keep up an active career. However, she often recalls the shocking, but necessary, moment where her long hair was chopped off as she entered the Academy. She repeated this transformative act later in life aboard ISS for Locks of Love.

Space Stories Three Facts about Astronaut Drew Feustel Every other Friday, we bring you a special post on the blog discussing three facts about astronauts. Earlier this month, we focused on Drew Feustel. Across his three spaceflights, he has logged 226 total days in space. If you think that’s impressive, look at his spacewalking stats! Feustel has conducted 9 spacewalks in his career so far, logging a total of 61 hours and 48 minutes of Extravehicular Activity (EVA) time, which is the third longest amount of EVA time in the world, and the second among U.S. astronauts. There’s no doubt that Feustel has been a part of some pretty cool (and important) missions in his career, so we’ve gathered some fun highlights from his time in space that you might not have known about! 1) He recorded a music video from space You’ve probably watched tons of music videos. But, have you ever watched a music video made in space? During his most recent mission, while living in space aboard the ISS, Expedition 56 commander Feustel recorded a music video from space with the help of the lead bassist from one of his favorite bands, a Canadian group known as The Tragically Hip. According to Michigan Radio, Feustel sang a version of the song, “All Around the World,” which is written by The Tragically Hip’s Gord Sinclair. Feustel performed the first space music video from one of the most popular spots aboard the ISS, the Cupola, while he serenaded earthlings from a rocket man’s point of view.

NASA celebrated its 60th Anniversary on Oct. 1 and we are proud to join in the celebration by displaying more than 25 works of art, including paintings, photography, poetry and musical compositions. The pieces were selected from NASA’s art program and from the International Association of Astronomical Artists. The artwork on display include pieces by artists including Andy Warhol, Annie Leibovitz, William Wegman, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jamie Wyeth. The temporary exhibit will be on display Sept. 27-Jan. 7, 2019 in Astronaut Gallery. It is included in general admission. Honoring heroes with free admission To reach for the stars requires support from a solid foundation. No one provides that foundation of safety like the military and first responders such a firefighters, police officers and emergency medical technicians. Their service and sacrifice makes them everyday heroes. These heroes inspire us with their dedication to our communities. We couldn’t appreciate them more for all they do to keep us safe. That’s why, for the fourth straight year, November is Heroes Appreciation Month at Space Center Houston. Starting Thursday, Nov. 1, members of the military, police, fire and emergency medical technicians will receive free admission by showing their public service or military IDs or badges at any of the Space Center Houston ticket windows. Friends and family of the heroes can save $5 off regular admission in advance by purchasing tickets online only using discount code PROTECT01. These special offers are valid through Nov. 30.

Space Stories Guest Column: Planet Pioneers On Oct. 6, Space Center Houston’s newest seasonal exhibit opened to the public. Planet Pioneers, created by Scitech of Western Perth, Australia and produced by Imagine Exhibitions, puts aspiring astronauts and space explorers to the test as they attempt to source their own food, shelter and solve problems in an unknown world. Our exhibits team explains Planet Pioneers and why Space Center Houston put it on display. The members of the exhibits team who joined us for this Q&A are Director of Exhibits Paul Spana and Exhibit Specialist Carmina Mortillaro. How is this exhibit different than other exhibits we’ve had? PS: It’s the right size, has lots of interactives, great graphics, has a good balance of printed informational labels as well as video monitors. If I had to pick something, I’d say this is the most orange exhibit we’ve ever had. The graphics are great, but there’s a lot of orange! What do you hope visitors take away from this exhibit? CM: I hope visitors leave with the impression that solving the challenges of space exploration can be fun and exciting, and that diverse skills and personalities–just like theirs—are needed to succeed.
