Talyah, age 10, sees Apollo moon walk for the first time in 2014

Posted on by Mike Mongo

So last week this happened. Interviewing 10-year Talyah in Key West (whom I have known and worked with since she was 5-or-6) I accidentally discovered she had never seen an astronaut walk on the moon. I wrote about it but it doesn’t capture the impact like the video. This is her face, play by play.

My favorite is while she is watching video of Col. Chris Hadfield and sees an object (microphone) float in zero-gravity in the space station for the first time.

There’s priceless and there’s priceless, and then there is this once-in-a-lifetime moment.

BTW—If you think kids knowing about space is important, I have an Astronaut Instruction Manual for Pre-Teens being crowdfunded over at Inkshares. Thanks! Here’s the direct link: http://kidastronaut.com

"My name is Mike Mongo and I am an astronaut teacher. Also: author of the Astronaut Instruction Manual. Los Angeles-based, my primary occupation has me working with students and encouraging students to pursue careers in space and astronautics. Much of my time is spent writing, teaching and learning about space and space travel. Of all the things I love doing being an astronaut teacher is certainly my favorite and most fulfilling."
