You found us!  Whether you came here because of a social media post or just stumbled across this blog while checking out our website, welcome!  We use this space to give updates on the foundation, share fun STEM activities that can be done at home, highlight cool stuff happening in science, and...well, basically whatever seems awesome and worth sharing!  As an example, check out this photo:

This is a photo from Dec. 11, 1963 of technicians preparing a test subject for studies on the Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator at NASA's Langley Research Center.  The sideways position meant that a person's legs experienced only one sixth of their weight (equivalent to being on the Moon's surface!).  The subject was studied walking, jumping, and running.  The simulator was used to train the Apollo astronauts to complete tasks in the lunar environment, and the effect was apparently quite similar to the actual feeling of walking on the moon.

We just think it's neat!
