CLEVELAND — NASA’s Glenn Research Center invites visitors to learn about how astronauts walk in space when David Foltz, an extravehicular flight manager with NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, presents “Walking above Cloud Nine.”
The free public presentation will take place Saturday, June 20, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Glenn’s Visitor Center. Foltz is a native of North Olmsted, Ohio.
