NASA Explorers Season 5, Episode 3: Space School

Before Jessica Watkins was an astronaut, she was a geologist. Now working on the International Space Station, Jessica and her fellow astronauts are preparing to explore the Moon and beyond. But collecting and investigating rocks on other worlds is very different from digging dirt here on Earth. Thats where tools engineer Adam Naids comes in. Tools designed for Earth geologists may not work in the lower gravity and extreme temperatures of the Moon, and thats before you bring in the bulky spacesuits NASA Explorers come together at space school to train astronauts to conduct science on the Moon.
