He spoke about his viewpoint on the ill effects of the Porter Ranch Gas Leak. RAfter the incident in late 2015, Nordella “watched as the leaders (medical groups, state utility commissions, city, county) did nothing.” He began the fi rst part of his study in January 2016, and after spending a year on it, he started a new investigative study in January 2017. “I’m just trying to do what I think is right,” Nordella said. Recently, many people have expressed their concerns regarding how plaintiff attorneys are handling these matters. Nordella wishes to have more communication and collaboration with them. “It is tough to say… because I personally don’t know how they are handling matters. Unfortunately, I have only had a little bit of communication with them. I am not retained by any fi rm or lawyers at this time to do any work. I do not mean it to insult anybody. I just want to stay neutral… To the respect of the plaintiff attorneys, I hope and believe that they also have experts looking at this as well… I just wish there was more collaboration,” Nordella said.

Rising to the top of more than 18,300 applicants, NASA chose 12 women and men as the agency’s new astronaut candidates. Click Here For Additional Stories And Videos On South Florida Reporter Vice President Mike Pence joined NASA leaders Wednesday as they introduced the members of the 2017 astronaut class during an event at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. While at Johnson, the vice president toured the International Space Station mission control center, and the historic mission control center, which was used during early NASA spaceflights, including the first moon landing mission, Apollo 11. He also was presented with a model of the International Space Station and a framed U.S. flag that was flown to and from the orbiting laboratory this winter. “These are 12 men and women whose personal excellence and whose personal courage will carry our nation to even greater heights of discovery and who I know will inspire our children and our grandchildren every bit as much as your forebears have done so in this storied American program,” said Vice President Pence. “And to this newest class of astronauts, it’s my honor to bring the sincere congratulations of the 45th President of the United States of America, President Donald Trump.

  • La NASA Abre Una Convocatoria De Formación Para Futuros Astronautas
    La NASA abre una convocatoria de formación para futuros astronautas EFE | La NASA ha anunciado una nueva convocatoria para aquellos ciudadanos estadounidenses con un postgrado en ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería o matemáticas y dos años de experiencia profesional «relevante» que quieran ser astronautas del programa Artemis. Esos son los principales requisitos para esta segunda convocatoria de la NASA para el programa con el que busca reanudar los viajes a la Luna y llegar a Marte y reconquistar el liderazgo en el espacio. La primera generación de astronautas de Artemis, formada por cinco mujeres y seis hombres, se graduó el pasado 10 de enero, después de haber realizado un curso de entrenamiento de más de dos años. A la primera convocatoria se presentaron más de 18000 personas, según informó la NASA en su día. Los once graduados, Kayla Barron, Zena Cardman, Jasmin Moghbeli, Loral O’Hara y Jessica Watkins, y sus colegas varones Raja Chari, Matthew Dominick, Bob Hines, Warren Hoburg, Jonny Kim y Francisco «Frank» Rubio, el único latino, representan «lo mejor de América (EE.UU.)», según el administrador de la NASA, Jim Bridenstine. El plazo para inscribirse ahora comienza este lunes y finaliza el 31 de marzo. Como parte del proceso para inscribirse, los candidatos serán sometidos a una evaluación por internet de unas dos horas de duración, algo que no se hizo en la anterior convocatoria. Esta nueva convocatoria llega en un momento en que «la agencia se está preparando para enviar a la primera mujer y un nuevo hombre a la Luna con el programa Artemis. Explorar la Luna durante esta década ayudará a la Humanidad a prepararse para su siguiente hito de gigante: enviar astronautas a Marte», ha dicho la NASA en un comunicado.
