Astronauts must train extensively to learn how to space walk. But how do they simulate the microgravity conditions of space here on Earth?  Astronaut: Ocean to Orbit explores the ways in which NASA uses underwater environments to simulate life and work in space, offering a fascinating look into the high-tech world of astronauts. The film follows NASA astronauts Chris Cassidy and Jeanette Epps as they train underwater at the NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Lab in Houston and the Aquarius Reef Base in Florida.
