NASA astronaut visits Franklin

Franklin Primary School students heard first-hand stories about being on the crew of a NASA space shuttle, when Dr. Linda Godwin, a veteran of four shuttle missions, visited the school in March. Godwin, a physics professor at University of Missouri - Columbia, told the students about living without gravity, illustrating her presentation with photos and videos of the inside of the space shuttle and the international space station, including the small enclosures where the astronauts sleep.
