How does an astronaut prepare physically and mentally to launch into space? NASA astronaut Megan McArthur, who travelled to space as part of the SpaceX Crew-2 mission, shares stellar life lessons on how to cultivate the resolve to do incredible things through preparation — and a dash of bravery. A rare glimpse at what it takes to literally shoot for the stars. (This virtual conversation, hosted by TEDWomen curator Pat Mitchell, was recorded in November 2020.)

Welcom from Lybia zawia ٠
I am sitting here comfortably, listening to this talk while shaving my legs. Can’t help but wonder how this is done in space?
I would think they go au naturel in space, and that’s why there is not that much skin exposed on board if they can help it. Small hairs floating around is not really a good thing to have.
Alternatively, maybe they do it inside a bag :p
It’s not, because no one has ever been to space.
I imagine breathing in the floating pubes of a Russian lady, who was on a mission 2 years ago, would cause for quite some panic.
both learned all about green screen CGI in one of the largest film studios in the world lmao!
Oh the space between your ears.
We definitely need more women astronauts, engineers and scientists. Definitely inspiring to young girls everywhere. The sky is not the limit. There is a vast universe out there.
Why?
@Leftie Snowflake why what?
@Mk Why does there need to be more female astronauts, engineers & scientists?
