Astronaut Visit
Ever wondered what it feels like to travel at 17,000 mph or how you get to sleep when you’re weightless? Will we ever be able to travel to Mars or perhaps you would just like to know how you go to the toilet on a spaceship. Well Heaton Manor students have a much better idea about what it’s like to live and work in space following the visit of a genuine NASA astronaut.
Dr Piers Sellers, a British born scientist and astronaut who has made several trips to the International Space Station on the American space shuttle was in school on 1st July to give a presentation and answer a huge variety of questions from students of all ages. Dr Sellers came to the school as part of a national tour to promote an awareness of space technology and over 600 of our students had a chance to meet him. He was very impressed by the range and quality of the questions and was convinced that some students at Heaton Manor would one day have the opportunity to travel into space themselves. See here for more information. | |
