Astronaut Lu Lands at Lamplighter
The Lamplighter School recently hosted a visitor from space — former NASA astronaut Edward Tsang Lu.
Lu gave a short presentation about his two space shuttle missions, as well as his current role as CEO of the Sentinel Mission. It is dedicated to protect Earth from asteroid strikes, a mission he co-founded under the B612 Foundation.
Lu answered the students’ questions about space and his missions including, “What color is the sky in space?” and “How long have you been in space?” He informed the kids that the sky is black and he was in space three times for a total of 206 days, some of which were spent on the International Space Station.
