CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Isolated at home? Then train like an astronaut. That's the inspirational advice from a public engagement specialist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Astronaut wannabe Rachel Zimmerman-Brachman said Friday that isolation is a lot like astronaut training. So she came up with this positive message and launched it via Facebook on Thursday: “Attitude is everything: I'm on an adventure in a confined space with a small crew for a long duration mission, with occasional space walks and resupply missions.
Sounds like astronaut training to me.” Zimmerman-Brachman, a longtime JPL employee with degrees in physics and space studies, said she's wanted to be an astronaut since childhood.
