Perk of applying to #BeAnAstronaut? One step closer to being on top of the world! 👩🏾🚀🌍👨🏻🚀 Part of the job for our @NASAAstronauts is a task called spacewalking. Spacewalking refers to any time an astronaut gets out of a vehicle while in space; it is performed for many reasons such as completing repairs outside the @ISS, conducting science experiments and testing new equipment. While a demanding task (astronauts can burn up to ~2500 calories!) it provides the ultimate backdrop for a cosmic selfie. ✨ Sound like something you’d be interested in? If so, you might want to APPLY to #BeAnAstronaut! The deadline is March 31. Visit the link in bio for images, info and the application!
