NASA scientists go all over the world and to all sorts of different environments, from the very hot to the very cold. I recently went to Grand Mesa, Colorado, with the SnowEX 2020 team. SnowEx is a project that is researching snow properties. So depth and density, particle size, that sort of thing. The scientists’ daily field locations could only be accessed by snowmobile. We went up very steep hills, we went around very sharp curves, we would hit bumps that would throw you up and down. When you get off the snowmobile, and you're standing near the field site, you really have a sense of standing on this giant white tabletop where there are no other humans in the world, except for the people you have around you. It was so beautiful and rewarding, and getting to just see the energy of these scientists who are out here in these conditions for weeks collecting this data — it’s just mindblowing. I’m really proud of myself, I’m really proud of the way that I adapted and stuck it out, and tried new things and went to new places.” Check out our story to join Jessica on her first field campaign in the latest episode of NASA’s Curious Universe podcast.」5月12日 4時24分
