On Friday, the science department took a trip to outer space during lunch. Chris Kennedy of NASA, an astronaut aboard the Expedition 65 to the International Space Station, answered questions from high school students about the growth of bacteria on the outside of the International Space Station and possibility for the intergalactic survival and spread of microorganisms by humans. Students considered whether bacteria originated elsewhere then float through space and land on Earth? Latin’s Science Department hosted the viewing in a classroom Zoom link to the event, organized by the Society for Science & the Public’s educators and students and live streamed on NASA TV.
