Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory Video

Hey Everybody,

I was digging around in some video files today and found this video that I did several years ago when I was working at NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory. For those of you who haven't heard of it, it's where the astronauts train for Spacewalks.

Not very high res, but thought you guys might find it interesting.

I shot all the footage with a Gates PC1000.NASA NBL Video

Very cool!!!

Yep cool stuff. A lot clearer than our Pacific NW waters.. thats for sure. Mike

I did a magazine assignment on at the NBL in 2001. I tried everything to get clearance to dive and do my own shooting, but NASA's PR office was of no help at all. They did assign one of their divers to shoot for me, but his work wasn't up to par, even with lots of Photoshopping. They gave me clearance for the pool for just one day (on the deck only) and one of the astronauts got me in a second day. He also invited me to his shuttle launch, which made this one of the most memorable assignments in over 30 years as a writer/photographer.
