High definition shot of the center of the milky way galaxy which I remind you this was taken from 27,000 light years AWAY or 158,722,889,613,707,070 MILES! Also this is what the center of the galaxy looked like when we were still living in caves!

I Never Want To Understand Sand By Neil deGrasse Tyson, Astrophysicist

One of the most rewarding parts of scientific research is the way it enriches my appreciation of the universe. The more I learn, the more beautiful the world becomes—it’s what drives me to stay curious, to keep asking questions.

Sing About NASA with Our Interns

Each semester, interns at Johnson Space Center (JSC) have the opportunity to contribute to our agency’s missions and help us lead the frontier of human space exploration. Interns at JSC also have the opportunity to enhance their experience through weekly meetings to discuss social and professional development topics, and can also get involved in many different committees.

The intern video committee from each semester comes up with ideas and carries out the entire process of creating a video that puts a creative, youthful spin on spreading NASA messages.

Here are a few highlights from some of the great intern videos that have been created:

NASA is Good

This latest intern video is based off of Andy Grammer’s “Honey, I’m Good”. This video is designed as an outreach video to raise interest around the One-Year Mission aboard the International Space Station and the Pathways and Student Intern opportunities. 

Created in 2015

All About that Space

This intern video was created as a parody of Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass”. They lyrics and scenes in the video have been re-imagined in order to inform the public about the amazing work going on at NASA and the Johnson Space Center. 

Created in 2014

NASA Johnson Style

NASA Johnson Style was created as an educational parody of Psy’s “Gangnam Style”. The intent of the video is to inform the public about the work being done at Johnson Space Center and throughout the agency. 

Created in 2012

I.S.S. Baby

A group of NASA interns collaborated to create the I.S.S Baby video based off of Vanilla Ice’s “Ice, Ice, Baby”. The video was designed as an outreach video to raise interest around the International Space Station. 

Created in 2008

There are plenty more JSC intern videos. You can watch more and learn about the work done at JSC and throughout the agency HERE.
