At our March meeting, we were joined by Dr. James Newman. Dr. Newman is a veteran of four Space Shuttle missions and has logged more than 43 days in space, traveling over 17 million miles. While most of us struggle to fix a minor faucet leak, Dr. Newman’s “do it yourself” projects included tasks such as performing spacewalks to repair the Hubble Telescope. He shared stories from his six spacewalks and his experiences assembling the International Space Station. It was a rare opportunity to hear from someone who has seen the globe from a perspective few ever will. It truly was an out-of-this-world presentation—space suits optional.
