Plaza Middle School sixth graders took part in a live-streaming video appearance with NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman. Speaking from NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, Wiseman inspired Plaza’s students to reach for the stars. The question-and-answer format of the visit included information from his recent International Space Station deployment.
Wiseman reported to the Johnson Space Center in August 2009 and completed astronaut candidate training in May 2011. He most recently served as flight engineer aboard the International Space Station for Expedition 41 from May to November 2014.
Had the privilege of observing this session. Impressive use of technology to bring unique experiences to our students. Astronaut Wiseman could not have been more patient, professional and forthcoming with his responses to our student’s questions. Kudos to LMS Ms. Taylor and CRS Mr. Hirano for their work that made this opportunity possible for Plaza students.
