These students were the first ever to have experiments flown in space, but they weren't the last. Student experiments have been conducted on the @Space_Station over the last 20+ years.
📸 The 25 students whose Skylab experiments were chosen meet at @NASA_Marshall in May 1972

in reply to NASA • • •I proposed an experiment for one of the space shuttle missions that flew science “cans” when I was a kid. My idea didn’t make the cut, but I didn’t mind when I saw how amazing the winning projects were.
(Bonus pointless fact: I applied for the astronaut program when I was a grownup. I didn’t make the cut, but I didn’t mind when I saw how amazing the people who were selected turned out to be.)
