A Day In The Life Of A NASA Intern

This video reveals the extraordinary ordinary life of a NASA Johnson Space Center intern! There is never a dull day with so many opportunities for exploration. Take a journey with one of our star interns— and who knows—one day you might make this journey yourself!

The video tours you through NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston which begins at Rocket Park where the Saturn V rocket is housed. The Saturn V rocket is the tallest, heaviest and most powerful rocket ever flown. NASA used the colossal Saturn V rockets primarily during the Apollo program to send Americans to the moon. Next, you see NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, the giant pool where astronauts train for spacewalks. Mockups of the International Space Station are underwater in the 40-foot-deep pool. Finally, you see the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility which contains life-size mockups of the International Space Station and Orion spacecraft as well as a variety of robotic and engineering projects.
