The Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory is a busy place! In this timelapse, NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Josh Cassada suit up and enter the 6.2 million gallon pool to practice for spacewalks. Meanwhile, water survival training is taking place on the other side of the NBL, designed large enough to accompany two activities taking place at once.
