Hello friends, today I will discuss about the first astronaut Janet Apps apps in Africa. I hope you like it very much.
Astronaut Janet Apps is set to make history as the first African-American astronaut to become a member of the International Space Station crew! He will serve as the flight engineer for Expedition 556 when he embarks on the voyage next year and will then be on board for at least five months during Expedition 5. As a result of NASA's recruitment last month, Apps will also live in the 13th Women's Space Station. In a recent interview, Apps said of how honored he was to take on the role, especially on his first-place flight: "As a pilot, I want to do better with this honor. I want to make sure young people know this." Maybe it didn't happen overnight. There was a lot of work involved, and a lot of commitment and continuity. "
Apps set her sights on the stars in her early childhood - thanks to early role models for women in space. "It's 1960, I was nine years old then," he recalled. "My brother came home and he looked at my grades and the grades of my two sisters and said, 'You know, you guys can probably be astronauts or even astronauts'' and this time Sally Ride [the first American woman to fly in space] and a group. The woman was chosen to be an astronaut - for the first time in history. So, she made that comment and I said, 'Wow, it would be so beautiful. With: “In the first two years you have to learn to fly a T-38, learn the Russian language, learn the ISS system, and you have to pass all these classes. "
While training her aircraft on the space station, Apps is assisting advocates for women on the stem, and she recently recorded a video for NASA's Modern Figures campaign, inspired by books and movies "Hidden Images" that tell the female African story. -American mathematicians who made significant contributions to NASA's early space program. When asked what advice he would give young women when considering stem fields, he replied: "Something you don't know is going to be difficult at first, but if you take this path, you will put in the time and effort, it will eventually become smooth. It's just that it's hard because you can't learn it.
Congratulations to Janet Apps on her appointment to ISS! Watch his short modern figure video.
