Space Golf, Astronaut Included
|
The New York Hall of Science in Queens, NY opened a mini-golf course this summer. But it's no ordinary putt putt--each hole illustrates a science lesson. Charles Camarda, a NASA engineer and former astronaut, agreed to play a round, and explain some of the science as he putted.
Filmed, produced by Erik Ortlip, Flora Lichtman. Additional footage from NASA.
