This is one in a series of exclusive astronaut interviews filmed inside space shuttle Endeavour at the California Science Center. In this interview, conducted in 2016, mission specialist Sandy Magnus talks about fascinating topics including surprising astronaut training regimens like backpacking, parasailing, and flying T-38 aircraft and the difference between space shuttle missions and living on the International Space Station.

Astronaut interviews were made possible by a generous grant from The Ahmanson Foundation.
