Diversity Event.

On Novemcer 3rd, 2011, I attended Clayton Anderson's presentation.  Clay, as he like to be called, was born in Omaha, Nebraska.  He recived his Masters in Areospace Engineering from Iowa State University in 1983.  From there he began work at the Johnson Space Center.  He spend a toal of 167 days in space on two trips.  His longest trip was his 5 month, or 152 days, in 2007. While there, he and his crew worked fixing the space station.  He was the appointed mission specialist on this trip where he preformed multiple space walks. He described their living habits as 60 minutes of light to 30 minutes of darkness. When reentering the atmosphere, two sonic booms can be heard. This is due to the length of the shuttle, which is 122 feet. Clay also talked about commercial fight possibly being availible in the near future.  TIme is unknown but they are shooting for the year 2016.
