Isaac Reed in a custom pressure suit on the Reduced Gravity Simulator at SAM

Isaac Read may very well be the youngest person to ever don a pressure suit while engaged on a Reduced Gravity Simulator! Isaac and his father John attended the annual Analog Astronaut Conference at Biosphere 2, Oracle, Arizona. John’s father is an amateur astronomer and professional educator. Isaac is a bold explorer who was eager to try the pressure suit provided by Dr. Cameron Smith of Smith Aerospace Garments. Cameron just happened to have built a small suit for another user potential, and stored it at B2 for just such an occasion.

Isaac did well, adapting quickly to his apparent reduced gravity while encumbered by a pressure suit and umbilical for breathing.
