Episode 3 of NASA Explorers Season 5 delves into the topic of "Space Education."

Preceding her astronaut role, Jessica Watkins made her mark as a geologist. Presently assigned to the International Space Station, she and her astronaut colleagues are primed for forthcoming lunar and interplanetary explorations. The task of collecting and scrutinizing rocks in distant celestial landscapes contrasts significantly with the terrestrial practice of excavating soil. In this endeavor, the expertise of tools engineer Adam Naids proves pivotal. Instruments meticulously crafted for geologists on Earth may prove ill-suited to the Moon's unique conditions, characterized by reduced gravity and extreme temperatures—challenges compounded by the cumbersome nature of spacesuits. Through a collaborative endeavor, NASA Explorers convene at a dedicated space school to impart astronauts with the specialized skills necessary to execute scientific inquiries on lunar terrain.
