Checking out the NASTAR Center

I’m in Philadelphia today visiting the new NASTAR Center, the National Aerospace Training and Research Center. This facility is specifically designing to giving people, including potential space tourists, training in some of the aspects of the spaceflight experience. Last night there was a reception at the center in the room that hosts a centrifuge:

Later today there will be tours and speeches by Anousheh Ansari, Greg Olsen, and Buzz Aldrin. I’ll report more on this later today or tomorrow.

    Could we set up an experiment in your chamber to measure Spo2, with a flight simulator, at altitudes of 5,000-12,500 cabin pressure altitude. John
