Training at NASA's Johnson Space Center from "summary" of Riding Rockets by Mike Mullane
Training at NASA's Johnson Space Center was a crucial part of becoming an astronaut. The center was like a second home to us, providing everything we needed to prepare for the challenges of space travel. From rigorous physical fitness training to in-depth technical instruction, we were pushed to our limits in order to excel in our roles as astronauts. The training was intense and demanding, but necessary for the dangerous missions we would soon be embarking on. We spent countless hours in simulators, practicing emergency procedures and honing our skills for any situation that might arise in space. Failure was not an option, and we had to be prepared for anything that came our way. One of the most challenging aspects of training at Johnson Space Center was the constant evaluation and testing. Our instructors were tough and unforgiving, pushing us to be the best we could be. It was a high-pressure environment, but it was essential for ensuring that we were ready for the demands of space travel. Despite the challenges, training at NASA's Johnson Space Center was also incredibly rewarding. We were privileged to work with some of the brightest minds in the field, and the knowledge and experience we gained was invaluable. The camaraderie among trainees was also a source of strength, as we supported each other through the long hours and demanding tasks. In the end, the training we received at Johnson Space Center prepared us for the incredible journey ahead. We knew that every moment spent in training was a step towards achieving our dreams of space travel. The center was more than just a place of instruction - it was a symbol of our dedication and determination to reach for the stars.
