Chute!

Today, we headed over to the Aerospace Physiology building for some more classes and excitement.

This place.

It certainly was an exciting day.  In our night vision lecture, we all felt what it was like to be functionally blinded in one eye.

At that point, the preparation the goggles that they gave us didn't even matter.

We went to Subway and felt really cool.

Not everyone can look this awesome while eating sandwiches.

But the best part of the day was the parachute simulation lab.  We all had the chance to strap on the parachute gear, hang by the harness, put on the helmet with the specialized computer-simulation visor, and attempt to hit our landing spot.

Some didn't do so well...

...but that doesn't mean it wasn't fun!

Finally, at the end of the day, Col Brandt instituted a lottery for a very exciting upcoming event.

I may be horrible at keeping secrets, but you'll just have to wait until next week to find out about this one.  Mom, no telling!
