Last night, we just decided to go to Houston for a night. Staying at an American hotel and eating Domino's Pizza in the Bank Quarter at midnight were of course moments I will never forget, but the highlight I want to share with you in this post was the NASA Space Centre outside the City.
"Some men look at things the way they are and ask why?
I dream of things that are not and ask why not?"
For me it was incredible how many photos of astronauts I saw. They just live their dreams and barely anybody on earth knows them - they are not famous, they don't shine - they just live for their dreams and for the sake of exploring. The NASA is such a big centre, airforce is such a
big business on this world that I have never been involved with at any point of
my life. Yes, you hear about Apollo flying to the moon, you see the photos of
an arising rocket, but you never actually think about how this whole construct
was built, if it didn’t catch your interest from the first moment. But when I was there today, when I saw the Training Hall, that you can see here, I was overwhelmed.
WOMAN EXCERCISING IN THE UNIVERSE
On the photo right here you can see a woman excercising in the universe. She has to do
this because the body of a human needs movement, even when there is no gravity,
otherwise the muscles would probably lose a bit of their functionality. What I
as a Psychology Student ask myself is, what impact this environment has on a
person’s mental health in a long way. I am sure that only very curious, very
convinced people can make the decision to become an astronaut. It is probably
like the decision to become a pilgrim or to live as an artist just for the
art. I know that this comparison might not make sense to some of you, but all
of these things have one common aspect: Once you decide you want to go this way, you never step back and you have to sacrifice many things, that normal people couldn't live without.
