Anil Menon(@astro_anil):One of the useful things about training is seeing the same task from more than one angle. This session with two amazing NASA engineers (Jenna and Naomi) used virtual reality to help me understand a future spacewalk, building on the work we had already done in the neutral buoyancy lab. It’s a good reminder that learning often improves when you practice the same problem in different ways, whether that’s spaceflight training or the kind of studying most of us have done on Earth. It’s been a helpful strategy in high-school, college, medical school, and astronaut training
